he makes a very erudite comment about gender equality, but immediately undermines that by suggesting there's something wrong with men who like to cook.
Fuck you James May.

I'm not sure he was being quite serious about that, at least, I hope not!


Pretty sure it was standard deadpan sarcasm.

And if Jay wants to have a show, let him do something where he'd be genuinely interesting and let him host an American Top Gear.

Yes! Awesome. So who would be Richard Hammond and who would be James May?


Oh, there's so many American "celebrity" petrol heads, we could make a list a mile long!

To go the same route as the UK TG, we'd want to find people with a passion for cars, a minor amount of fame dealing with cars, and a career in which becoming the co-host of a TV series won't conflict.

It's too hard to pick people as stand-ins for the Top Gear boys, the three of them work so well together, that chemistry would be hard to match.

My suggestions: Jay Leno, Paul Walker (his career is mediocre) or Frankie Muniz (stopped acting several years ago to become a pro race driver), and Jalopnik's Ray Wert.

Here! Me! Take me! Here! Ding ding ding! Heeeeelloooooooo! I volunteer!

...as Hammond that is. Seriously, who would want to be May?

Flying with a pilot wearing glasses would make me very nervous...

Why?


What if his glasses fall off in that helmet? What if they fog up?
I'm sure they're are many more reasons why the US military doesn't allow pilots to fly while wearing glasses. I don't know what this guy's deal is, but there is a waiver for everything.

I'm a helicopter pilot, I wear contacts. My vision has to pass the same standards as any other pilot. Actually I'm going tomorrow for my FAA required yearly flight physical.


I thought the Air Force required 20/20 or better vision of all their pilots? (i.e. no contacts or glasses, but laser surgery was ok)

Or is that just for fighter pilots?
