I was pretty impressed. He knew his stuff.

Then I saw him in Indianapolis in 2007 for the USGP and at both the Canadian races last year and this year.
That passion certainly didn't translate to this tv show, that's too bad. Maybe the show will improve over time, but I can't see it making it past a first season.

Yeah, John Sally has absolutely no business on that show. He's clearly clueless. He wondered why anyone would buy the RR Ghost if it doesn't even get the same gas mileage as his Toyota Corolla.

It's on Hulu. Haven't watched it yet. Still don't bother? I'm pullin' for Matt to do well. Knew him from his days in NY and his stint with detailing/NYMC. Seems like he's busting his ass to get into the automotive entertainment industry which I applaud. Many 'kids' with his background would just sit back and not do jack s&*t.

Matt is a good guy. I met him while he was doing a piece on BBI Autosport.

He featured my Turbo and was funny and knowledgeable.

I wish him success as well.

From what I can tell, Matt is the one who will be carrying that show. Carolla just picked on him the entire episode, however.

Matt and Adam are both genuine car nuts and deserve all the success in the world IMO. I just wish people would stop comparing any brand new automotive show to Top Gear. Kind of like comparing a rookie player to a seasoned vet. Just not apples to apples.

This I will agree with. Everyone always compares new shows to Top Gear. How about you give a show a chance to be it's own thing and maybe you will grow to like it. I didn't watch last night but I certainly don't expect to be anything like Top Gear. What's funny is people complain when a show is trying to be like Top Gear and when a show isn't trying to be like Top Gear...
