I wish there was a YouTube video of Continental Drifters. Rich Hall's delivery made this quote very funny.

Rich Hall's Continental Drifters : Quotes

Rich Hall: [riding in the back of an open-top car] This is a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass. 380 long block. It's called a muscle car. Now, Jeremy Clarkson, your ill-informed and overhyped God of all things automotive and British, will tell you that muscle cars are gutless, that they can't handle the curves, that they have no finesse and no style. He'll tell you that a GTO or a Cutlass can't compare to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. What he doesn't bother to tell you is that muscle cars were made for young, working American men who put in a bit of overtime so they could have one decent thing in their life. A Ferrari is for a guy with too much money, a mid-life crisis and a combover. Comparing a muscle car to a Ferrari is like comparing Jeremy Clarkson to a real television host. If this car was a woman, it'd be Elizabeth Taylor. If Jeremy Clarkson were a woman, I wouldn't be a ******* bit surprised.
