  • The second in a series chronicling my 13 competitive cannonballs runs, and this time Top Gear shows up for a one of a kind American experience. Top Gear Magazine that is. Alas, not Clarkson, Hammond and May, but Brits nonetheless.
    Behold the might of thoroughly used Caprice Classic 9C1 and Crown Vic cop cars, a Craigslist Buick Regal, and a Honda Accord of questionable origin as they battle for supremacy crossing from New York to California nonstop for under $2904 including the car!

    You skipped the part when Scotty,allegedly, couldn’t hold it anymore and relieved himself in the center of an intersection for something like three green light cycles. Just like a native San Franciscan

    The numbers are great but the adventure is what it's really all about. What a blast.

    Thank you for another great 2904 story. Nobody does it better. One thing I've noticed in watching you on both this channel and VinWiki. When you are in the "Big Chair" You seem more relaxed and your delivery just flows naturally. When you tell a story here on Ficarra Classic, you seem to be a little uptight. Take a few moments to compare for yourself. I appreciate your content, no matter the format. Press on regardless! #ThisCanBeRed

    Thanks for sharing your story. I always enjoy them. Every time you talk about cannonballing, it sounds so, so appealing. In 50 years I've never once driven a car but this makes me want to finally learn.

    That's funny. John thinks we stick around to the end of the video because we want to know the times of the cars, when we actually stick around for great story told by a great narrator.

    Going through Flagstaff to miss the snow. 😂😂😂 Flagstaff is in the top ten cities in the US for inches of snowfall per year. Most people would never guess since it's only two hours north of Phoenix.

    Ohio is the Gestapo state. There has to be a stat somewhere on the number of police vs people and it's definitely astronomical. Im not a criminal of any kind, but highly value freedom. I left Ohio, where I would see 10+ cops on a 10 minute drive, to the cumberland plateau in Tn. I dont think I see 10 cops a year.

    Top Gear, but only in name. A shell in comparison to the real Top Gear. The should’ve had the decency to call it something else.
