00:07:49,293 --> 00:07:52,728
balance it a little bit.
181
00:07:52,763 --> 00:07:55,398
This thing has no grip whatsoever.
182
00:07:55,432 --> 00:07:57,266
Wood: Come on, Corvair. Get it together.
183
00:07:57,301 --> 00:07:58,501
Get it together.
184
00:07:58,535 --> 00:07:59,602
Ohh!
185
00:07:59,636 --> 00:08:00,870
[Tires squeal]
186
00:08:00,904 --> 00:08:02,705
Oh, geez Louise!
187
00:08:02,739 --> 00:08:03,706
Come on!
188
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:06,542
This thing is dangerous.
189
00:08:06,576 --> 00:08:08,077
Foust: With one lap down,
190
00:08:08,111 --> 00:08:10,179
Rutledge was struggling to
control his spinning tea cup.
191
00:08:10,213 --> 00:08:13,115
The Pinto and my Suzuki were way out front,
192
00:08:13,150 --> 00:08:14,583
and Adam was catching up.
193
00:08:14,618 --> 00:08:16,052
[Tires squealing]
194
00:08:16,086 --> 00:08:17,987
I've got you, Samurai!
195
00:08:18,021 --> 00:08:20,389
You know I got more horsepower than you!
196
00:08:20,424 --> 00:08:22,792
It's really a matter of time.
197
00:08:22,826 --> 00:08:23,726
[Tires squealing]
198
00:08:26,797 --> 00:08:29,632
It wants to go over a
little. That's a little scary.
199
00:08:29,666 --> 00:08:30,666
Adam is trying to catch up.
200
00:08:30,701 --> 00:08:32,168

[Laughs]
202
00:08:36,273 --> 00:08:38,007
Oh, no! He's got more power!
203
00:08:38,041 --> 00:08:41,010
Driving on two wheels was
fun, but this is a race.
204
00:08:41,044 --> 00:08:43,412
There is no way I was
getting beaten by a Pinto.
205
00:08:43,447 --> 00:08:44,347
[Tires screech]
206
00:08:44,381 --> 00:08:46,015
Whoa! Getting up on two there.
207
00:08:46,049 --> 00:08:48,918
It's kind of fun to try to
balance when you turn into it.
208
00:08:50,354 --> 00:08:51,687
[Rattling]
209
00:08:51,722 --> 00:08:53,522
Whoa!
210
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:58,896
Ferrara: We are finding out what happens
211
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:01,265
when you take three of
America's most dangerous cars
212
00:09:01,299 --> 00:09:02,299
on a road trip.
213
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:03,200
Go!
214
00:09:03,235 --> 00:09:05,169
Our first challenge was a race.
215
00:09:05,203 --> 00:09:07,238
Rut's notoriously untamable Corvair
216
00:09:07,272 --> 00:09:09,340
was in trouble right from the start.
217
00:09:09,374 --> 00:09:11,175
[Tires squeal] Oh, geez!
218
00:09:11,209 --> 00:09:14,211
My Pinto had just
overtaken Tanner's Samurai.
219
00:09:14,246 --> 00:09:15,613
[Laughs]
220
00:09:15,647 --> 00:09:19,383
Which lived up to its
reputation in the thorns.
221
00:09:19,417 --> 00:09:21,352
Foust: Whoa!
222
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:30,895
Holy [Bleep] Tanner flipped!
223
00:09:30,929 --> 00:09:32,596
Wood: Ooh, I'm in front of Adam!
224
00:09:32,631 --> 00:09:34,298
I got him! I got him! I got him!
225
00:09:34,332 --> 00:09:36,066
Oh, you sneaky, little... There it is!
226
00:09:36,101 --> 00:09:37,601
[Tires screech]
227
00:09:37,636 --> 00:09:40,471
Oh, great. Oh come on!
228
00:09:40,505 --> 00:09:41,739
Yes!
229
00:09:41,773 --> 00:09:43,674
Crap! Crap! Crap!
230
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,876
I win! And I didn't blow up!
231
00:09:45,911 --> 00:09:49,046
With a victory for my Pinto complete,
232
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,814
it was time to check on race boy.
233
00:09:50,849 --> 00:09:52,349
Holy [Bleep]
234
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:54,084
- Need a hand?
- No, I'm good.
235
00:09:54,119 --> 00:09:55,186
You want me to just...
236
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:56,921
That was completely my fault.
237
00:09:56,955 --> 00:09:59,557
Yeah, you're right. You
flipped all the Samurais.
238
00:09:59,591 --> 00:10:00,758
It was you all along.
239
00:10:00,792 --> 00:10:01,792
Let's try to get it up.
240
00:10:01,826 --> 00:10:02,927
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
241
00:10:02,961 --> 00:10:04,862
I just want to make sure
I'm hearing this wrong.
242
00:10:04,896 --> 00:10:06,030
Tanner Foust...
243
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:08,866
Best guy behind the wheel that I know...
244
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:10,834
Yep, gold-medal winner.
...Did something wrong?
245
00:10:10,869 --> 00:10:12,870
It certainly wasn't the
Suzuki Samurai's fault.
246
00:10:12,904 --> 00:10:14,038
[Chuckling] What?
247
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:15,339
I tell you that 'cause it's not dangerous.
248
00:10:15,373 --> 00:10:16,774
No, it's not dangerous.
249
00:10:16,808 --> 00:10:18,943
We should get these for the kids.
250
00:10:18,977 --> 00:10:20,978
Whatever. Let's push this thing over.
251
00:10:21,012 --> 00:10:22,646
You ready?
252
00:10:22,681 --> 00:10:23,814
Rock it.
253
00:10:23,848 --> 00:10:26,850
1...2... 3!
254
00:10:26,885 --> 00:10:28,752
Go, go, go! We got him!

[Grunts]
256
00:10:31,156 --> 00:10:32,156
Good as new.
257
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:33,023
Let's go.
258
00:10:33,058 --> 00:10:35,326
What's next? This is awesome!
259
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,461
[Laughs]
260
00:10:37,495 --> 00:10:40,698
Yes!
261
00:10:40,732 --> 00:10:42,266
It lives!
262
00:10:47,539 --> 00:10:48,672
[Bumpers crunch]
263
00:10:48,707 --> 00:10:50,574
Ohh! Will you knock it off?!
264
00:10:50,609 --> 00:10:51,508
Sorry.
265
00:10:51,543 --> 00:10:52,977
I know what you're trying to do!
266
00:10:53,011 --> 00:10:54,011
Sorry.
267
00:10:54,045 --> 00:10:55,646
Yeah, you're trying to blow me up.
268
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,914
And it didn't happen.
269
00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:58,382
Foust: Hey, Adam, buddy?
270
00:10:58,416 --> 00:11:00,584
You seem to be smoking there, pal.
271
00:11:00,619 --> 00:11:02,119
You got a little problem.
272
00:11:02,153 --> 00:11:04,255
It's not a fire! Trust me.
273
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:06,090
I played a fireman on tv.
274
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:08,959
I know what fire is, and I'll be fine.
275
00:11:08,994 --> 00:11:11,562
Well, Adam, I'm gonna be a stickler here.
276
00:11:11,596 --> 00:11:13,998
I am pretty sure your car is on fire.
277
00:11:15,767 --> 00:11:17,334
[Cheers and applause]
278
00:11:17,369 --> 00:11:18,602
Today we're looking at cars
279
00:11:18,637 --> 00:11:20,904
that have been called the
most dangerous ones in America.
280
00:11:20,939 --> 00:11:23,874
And clearly the Pinto does
not deserve that title.
281
00:11:23,908 --> 00:11:24,808
[Laughter]
282
00:11:24,843 --> 00:11:26,277
- Really?
- Really.
283
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:27,778
Look, you flippe the Samurai.
284
00:11:27,812 --> 00:11:29,446
They said it was gonna happen, and it did.
285
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:31,348
What did they say about the Corvair?
286
00:11:31,383 --> 00:11:33,150
It was gonna spin out? And it did.
287
00:11:33,184 --> 00:11:34,184
I won the challenge.
288
00:11:34,219 --> 00:11:36,120
And your car caught on fire.
289
00:11:36,154 --> 00:11:38,689
[Laughter]
290
00:11:38,723 --> 00:11:40,557
Not a lot of fire.
291
00:11:40,592 --> 00:11:42,593
But it did.
292
00:11:44,095 --> 00:11:45,596
Even without you behind the wheel.
293
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:46,864
Yeah. Let's just admit
294
00:11:46,898 --> 00:11:48,966
all these cars are a little bit dangerous.
295
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,467
A little bit.
296
00:11:50,502 --> 00:11:53,837
So, overnight we made modifications
to try to make them safer.
297
00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:00,444
Ferrara: Gentlemen, have
you seen what I've done?
298
00:12:00,478 --> 00:12:02,579
Wood: Really, Adam?
299
00:12:02,614 --> 00:12:04,248
Is that guard rail from a highway?
300
00:12:04,282 --> 00:12:05,416
Yeah. I'm a taxpayer.
301
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:08,118
This is just a precaution... Just in case.
302
00:12:08,153 --> 00:12:09,086
For what?
303
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,354
In case there's a fire.
304
00:12:10,388 --> 00:12:13,157
Rumor has it these "may" burst into flames.
305
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:15,726
I don't know. Is it the bubbling
paint and the black soot?
306
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,261
This was just an exhaust leak.
307
00:12:17,295 --> 00:12:19,897
Oh, like an exhaust leak
for a jet fighter, maybe.
308
00:12:19,931 --> 00:12:21,932
You haven't pulled the
pins. That's not very...
309
00:12:21,966 --> 00:12:23,801
Well, it's... I'm not out on the road yet.
310
00:12:23,835 --> 00:12:24,968
We'll pull the pins,
311
00:12:25,003 --> 00:12:26,704
and then here's my
activation switch in here.
312
00:12:26,738 --> 00:12:28,505
T-handle just in case.
313
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:29,373
Wow.
314
00:12:29,407 --> 00:12:30,774
Perfect.
315
00:12:30,809 --> 00:12:33,510
Where you have basically been
trying to protect yourself
316
00:12:33,545 --> 00:12:36,246
from the natural danger of the Pinto,
317
00:12:36,281 --> 00:12:38,949
I have made my Suzuki even more fun.
318
00:12:38,983 --> 00:12:40,317
Ferrara: Go! Go! Foust: Gently.
319
00:12:40,352 --> 00:12:41,752
Wood: It's on the wheel, I think.
320
00:12:41,786 --> 00:12:43,287
Wait. Wait. Gently pull it back now.
321
00:12:43,321 --> 00:12:44,421
Gently. Right there.
322
00:12:44,456 --> 00:12:46,557
[Sighs] A thing of beauty!
323
00:12:46,591 --> 00:12:48,592
This is a thing of beauty.
324
00:12:48,626 --> 00:12:49,460
[Laughs]
325
00:12:49,494 --> 00:12:50,728
This is terrible.
326
00:12:50,762 --> 00:12:51,995
Get me my helmet.
327
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:53,297
Okay, walk away, people.
328
00:12:53,331 --> 00:12:55,666
Walk away. Get out of there.
329
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:57,501
Okay. Okay, he's in.
330
00:12:57,535 --> 00:12:59,403
- You ready?
- You got it, dude.
331
00:13:04,042 --> 00:13:06,744
Look at that. He is driving on two wheels.
332
00:13:06,778 --> 00:13:09,847
Wood: Tanner's Samurai
resembled an amusement-park ride
333
00:13:09,881 --> 00:13:11,515
from a third-world country.
334
00:13:11,549 --> 00:13:14,118
Whereas my design was genius.
335
00:13:14,152 --> 00:13:15,419
Now, here's the thing.
336
00:13:15,453 --> 00:13:17,921
I'm a man that can admit when he is wrong.
337
00:13:17,956 --> 00:13:19,490
And you know what? I was wrong.
338
00:13:19,524 --> 00:13:20,491
Ralph Nader's right.
339
00:13:20,525 --> 00:13:23,560
This car was unsafe at any speed.
340
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:25,329
So, I had to make some changes.
341
00:13:25,363 --> 00:13:28,899
You've heard of dualies. This has triples.
342
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:30,667
And what's that called? A truly.
343
00:13:30,702 --> 00:13:32,336
It's truly awful. Triples.
344
00:13:32,370 --> 00:13:33,504
Excuse me. Yeah?
345
00:13:33,538 --> 00:13:34,872
I know you're the expert,
346
00:13:34,906 --> 00:13:36,907
but I think this might rub a little.
347
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:40,144
That's... I just need
to bend that in a touch.
348
00:13:40,178 --> 00:13:41,712
Now, these six tires back here
349
00:13:41,746 --> 00:13:44,148
are gonna help keep it
planted, but that's not all.
350
00:13:44,182 --> 00:13:45,749
See, I needed a little weight in the front,
351
00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:48,986
which is why I went straight
to the horse's mouth.
352
00:13:49,020 --> 00:13:50,487
[Laughs]
353
00:13:50,522 --> 00:13:52,656
I have 200 copies
354
00:13:52,690 --> 00:13:55,092
of Ralph Nader's "unsafe at any speed."
355
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:56,493
They weigh about a pound,
356
00:13:56,528 --> 00:13:59,129
so that's 200 pounds up front
to really keep it planted.
357
00:13:59,164 --> 00:14:00,697
This is poetically beautiful.
358
00:14:00,732 --> 00:14:01,999
Hats off to you, Mr. wood.
359
00:14:02,033 --> 00:14:04,134
Listen, I've made the safety modifications.
360
00:14:04,169 --> 00:14:07,738
Now what are we gonna do?
361
00:14:07,772 --> 00:14:10,774
Foust: To find out if our new
safety modifications worked,
362
00:14:10,809 --> 00:14:13,210
we each had to complete an obstacle course.
363
00:14:13,244 --> 00:14:14,778
This meant slaloming
364
00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:17,181
to avoid hitting any of the
boxes on the one-mile course,
365
00:14:17,215 --> 00:14:19,716
all while having everything from yoga balls
366
00:14:19,751 --> 00:14:21,118
to eggs pelting us.
367
00:14:21,152 --> 00:14:23,554
Whoever knocked down the
fewest boxes would win.
368
00:14:23,588 --> 00:14:25,489
Adam was up first.
369
00:14:25,523 --> 00:14:27,925
No firing until the game starts.
370
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:29,293
When does it start?
371
00:14:29,327 --> 00:14:30,828
- Right now?
- It feels like.
372
00:14:30,862 --> 00:14:33,430
- Did it just start?
- It feels like it, yeah.
373
00:14:33,465 --> 00:14:35,399
These two are like chimps
in the space program.
374
00:14:35,433 --> 00:14:36,900
3...
375
00:14:36,935 --> 00:14:38,302
2...
376
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:40,170
1...Go!
377
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,809
Balls!
378
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:47,010
Ohh. Ohh!
379
00:14:47,045 --> 00:14:48,679
Take out his visibility!
380
00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:51,148
He can't see! Ohh!
381
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:52,583
Ooh, I hit one.
382
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:58,255
I can't see [Bleep] Okay, fine.
383
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:01,425
Aah!
384
00:15:01,459 --> 00:15:04,328
This is the best thing ever!
385
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:05,462
Return fire!
386
00:15:05,497 --> 00:15:08,165
[Laughs] Wow, he just threw one back!
387
00:15:10,902 --> 00:15:12,069
I can't see anything!
388
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:17,407
Put it up here.
389
00:15:17,442 --> 00:15:19,476
What the hell was on your hand?
390
00:15:19,511 --> 00:15:21,411
Ferrara: My new and improved Pinto
391
00:15:21,446 --> 00:15:22,980
only knocked over eight boxes.
392
00:15:23,014 --> 00:15:25,115
Rut was up next.
393
00:15:25,149 --> 00:15:26,183
You ready, Rut?
394
00:15:27,118 --> 00:15:27,985
Both: Go!
395
00:15:30,255 --> 00:15:33,957
Wood: Oh. Oh, wow! That is so loud!
396
00:15:33,992 --> 00:15:37,528
[Laughter]
397
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:40,564
Wood: I realize that in solving
the Corvair's love of spinning out,
398
00:15:40,598 --> 00:15:42,165
I created another problem.
399
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,134
I think I might be hitting them. [Laughs]
400
00:15:44,168 --> 00:15:45,769
Now that I had six rear wheels,
401
00:15:45,803 --> 00:15:48,672
it wasn't quite as easy to
fit through the narrow gaps.
402
00:15:48,706 --> 00:15:50,207
Oh, come on. Really?
403
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:51,642
Hey, one last tray.
404
00:15:51,676 --> 00:15:54,545
Eggs! Oh, I can't see anything!
405
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:56,980
Crap! Oh, that was a big one!
406
00:15:58,583 --> 00:16:01,618
[Laughs, sighs]
407
00:16:02,287 --> 00:16:05,289
Coming up, Tanner hits the obstacle course.
408
00:16:05,323 --> 00:16:06,757
[Tires squeal]
409
00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:09,826
And later, we go head-to-head
in a demolition derby.
410
00:16:09,861 --> 00:16:11,595
Is that all you got?!
411
00:16:13,689 --> 00:16:14,389
Ferrara: We each picked
412
00:16:14,424 --> 00:16:16,057
one of the most dangerous
cars in the country
413
00:16:16,092 --> 00:16:17,392
and hit the open road
414
00:16:17,426 --> 00:16:19,360
to find out which was the most lethal.
415
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:20,995
[Tires squeal] Whoa.
416
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:23,731
Our racing challenge turned
out to be pretty sketchy,
417
00:16:23,766 --> 00:16:27,102
so we decided to make
modifications before the next test.
418
00:16:27,136 --> 00:16:28,336
Oh. Ohh!
419
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:30,672
My Pinto had won the race and done better
420
00:16:30,706 --> 00:16:33,274
than Rut's Corvair on the obstacle course.
421
00:16:33,309 --> 00:16:35,210
Now it was up to Tanner
422
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:38,546
to try and stop my Pinto's clean sweep.
423
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:40,081
[Engine turns over]
424
00:16:40,116 --> 00:16:41,149
Ready, pal?
425
00:16:41,183 --> 00:16:42,684
Yeah, I'm ready.
426
00:16:42,718 --> 00:16:46,221
Foust: Adam knocked over 8
boxes and Rutledge took out 14.
427
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:49,591
This was a challenge made
for my modified Samurai.
428
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:53,628
It was light, maneuverable, and
narrow gaps would be no problem.
429
00:16:53,662 --> 00:16:55,263
I'd just go up on two wheels.
430
00:16:55,297 --> 00:16:58,099
3, 2, 1, go!
431
00:16:58,134 --> 00:16:59,834
What?! He starts with the eggs?
432
00:16:59,869 --> 00:17:01,436
Are you kidding me?
433
00:17:01,470 --> 00:17:02,570
Adam's down.
434
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,038
[Laughs]
435
00:17:04,073 --> 00:17:05,373
Ohh!
436
00:17:05,407 --> 00:17:07,142
Oh, the tires are too big!
437
00:17:10,713 --> 00:17:13,014
This isn't working! [Laughs]
438
00:17:13,048 --> 00:17:14,149
Oh [Bleep]
439
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:20,522
Maybe it was about the fourth
box I realized my design sucked.
440
00:17:20,556 --> 00:17:22,323
[Tires squeal]
441
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,126
[Bleep]
442
00:17:25,161 --> 00:17:27,962
I'm just gonna go two wheels on this.
443
00:17:29,165 --> 00:17:30,732
Oh [Bleep]
444
00:17:30,766 --> 00:17:33,868
Oh, I'm slimed! Completely slimed!
445
00:17:38,207 --> 00:17:39,607
Ohh [Bleep]
446
00:17:44,046 --> 00:17:46,748
[Laughing] Too fast.
447
00:17:46,782 --> 00:17:49,384
Well, that there is actual egg in my ear.
448
00:17:49,418 --> 00:17:50,585
There are chunks of egg.
449
00:17:50,619 --> 00:17:51,986
You can kiss my ass.
450
00:17:52,021 --> 00:17:53,154
[Ferrara laughs]
451
00:17:53,189 --> 00:17:54,088
Five, six.
452
00:17:54,123 --> 00:17:58,726
Ooh, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
453
00:17:58,761 --> 00:18:01,329
18, 19, 20.
454
00:18:01,363 --> 00:18:02,564
20 boxes.
455
00:18:02,598 --> 00:18:03,898
What? No way!
456
00:18:03,933 --> 00:18:05,133
[Laughs] Yeah!
457
00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:07,268
[Chuckling] What happened to you?
458
00:18:07,303 --> 00:18:09,304
[Mockingly] Oh, what happened to me?
459
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:10,271
[Laughs]
460
00:18:10,306 --> 00:18:12,874
Freaking toilet paper roll in my ear.
461
00:18:12,908 --> 00:18:14,876
What the hell was on that thing?
462
00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:15,777
It was green.
463
00:18:15,811 --> 00:18:19,080
[Laughs] I'm so sorry.
464
00:18:19,114 --> 00:18:20,114
Don't slip on the eggs.
465
00:18:20,149 --> 00:18:21,082
Yeah, I'll try not to.
466
00:18:21,116 --> 00:18:22,817
There are eggs everywhere.
467
00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:25,954
Ferrara: Tanner's Suzuki
Samurai'd almost every box,
468
00:18:25,988 --> 00:18:27,922
giving my Pinto its second win.
469
00:18:27,957 --> 00:18:31,159
But it would all come down
to the final challenge.
470
00:18:34,263 --> 00:18:35,697
So, we headed out on the open road,
471
00:18:35,731 --> 00:18:38,700
but have any of us made
our cars safe enough
472
00:18:38,734 --> 00:18:41,636
to survive a demolition derby?
473
00:18:41,670 --> 00:18:42,637
This is great.
474
00:18:42,671 --> 00:18:44,539
We're going to a demolition derby...
475
00:18:44,573 --> 00:18:45,940
Where you back into everybody...
476
00:18:45,975 --> 00:18:49,711
And I have a guard rail
to use as a battering ram.
477
00:18:49,745 --> 00:18:51,512
I'm gonna kill these idiots.
478
00:18:51,547 --> 00:18:53,648
[Bumpers thump]
479
00:18:53,682 --> 00:18:55,717
You can hit it all you want, Tanner.
480
00:18:55,751 --> 00:18:57,018
Nothing's gonna happen.
481
00:19:00,122 --> 00:19:02,257
Handling like a dream.
482
00:19:02,291 --> 00:19:06,127
What is Adam doing?
483
00:19:06,161 --> 00:19:07,695
If Tanner did this, he'd flip over.
484
00:19:10,032 --> 00:19:12,300
Ohh! [Bleep]
485
00:19:14,903 --> 00:19:17,872
This is starting to get sketchy.
486
00:19:22,444 --> 00:19:24,379
[Groans]
487
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:25,813
[Chuckles]
488
00:19:25,848 --> 00:19:27,849
How long are we gonna keep doing this?
489
00:19:27,883 --> 00:19:29,584
[Laughs]
490
00:19:29,618 --> 00:19:32,887
[Cheers and applause]
491
00:19:32,921 --> 00:19:34,055
You two idiots realize
492
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:36,291
you've made these cars
even more dangerous, right?
493
00:19:36,325 --> 00:19:38,159
Oh, and you would know since you are, like,
494
00:19:38,193 --> 00:19:39,827
Mr. Dangerous behind the wheel, right?
495
00:19:39,862 --> 00:19:41,729
What are you talking about?
496
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:44,032
Uh, how can I say this? You...
497
00:19:44,066 --> 00:19:45,133
Wreck a lot of cars.
498
00:19:45,167 --> 00:19:46,301
Yes, that's it.
499
00:19:46,335 --> 00:19:48,169
Let's see, you bent the Cadillac in half,
500
00:19:48,203 --> 00:19:51,205
you killed the Bronco, then
you set the Maverick on fire.
501
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,274
- That was a wiring harness...
- Not my fault.
502
00:19:53,309 --> 00:19:54,742
I don't think it's the car.
503
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:56,944
I think you're either
really, really brave...
504
00:19:56,979 --> 00:19:57,845
Or just ignorant.
505
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,148
That's, uh... Brignorant.
506
00:20:00,182 --> 00:20:01,249
[Laughter]
507
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:03,484
A walk's as good as a hit.
508
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:04,652
I'll take it.
509
00:20:04,687 --> 00:20:06,054
See, and that's dangerous.
510
00:20:06,088 --> 00:20:07,789
So, to help teach Adam some fear,
511
00:20:07,823 --> 00:20:09,824
we set up a challenge out in the desert.
512
00:20:11,727 --> 00:20:14,095
Wood: I put a lot of thought
into finding the vehicle
513
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:16,397
that would be a good fit
for someone to learn in.
514
00:20:16,432 --> 00:20:18,733
[Engine revving]
515
00:20:18,767 --> 00:20:20,268
Holy [Bleep]
516
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:21,636
Something slow.
517
00:20:21,670 --> 00:20:23,705
Holy [Bleep] That's fast.
518
00:20:23,739 --> 00:20:25,340
Something easy to control.
519
00:20:25,374 --> 00:20:26,841
[Revving continues]
520
00:20:26,875 --> 00:20:29,811
Something that any driver
would feel right at home in...
521
00:20:32,081 --> 00:20:33,247
...An Ariel Atom.
522
00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:37,985
It's capable of going zero
to 60 in under 3 seconds.
523
00:20:39,421 --> 00:20:44,025
It has a 475-horsepower engine,
and it only weighs 1,300 pounds,
524
00:20:44,059 --> 00:20:48,529
making it about as easy to handle as a jet.
525
00:20:48,564 --> 00:20:51,566
Imagine an erector set with a big engine.
526
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,435
[Horn honks]
527
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:55,570
What the hell is this?
528
00:20:55,604 --> 00:20:56,904
It's a car.
529
00:20:56,939 --> 00:20:57,972
It's car-like.
530
00:20:58,006 --> 00:21:00,408
This, my friend, is the Ariel Atom.
531
00:21:00,442 --> 00:21:01,943
Where's the rest of it?
532
00:21:01,977 --> 00:21:03,211
This is it.
533
00:21:03,245 --> 00:21:04,379
This is it?
534
00:21:04,413 --> 00:21:07,281
It's truly your back to basics.
535
00:21:07,316 --> 00:21:09,617
Fundamentals of driving,
you want me to learn in this.
536
00:21:09,651 --> 00:21:12,186
Two seats, a steering wheel, and a motor.
537
00:21:12,221 --> 00:21:13,755
I mean, it's the perfect car
538
00:21:13,789 --> 00:21:16,457
for you to really get in
touch with car control.
539
00:21:16,492 --> 00:21:18,626
Look, you're not bad behind the wheel.
540
00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:21,195
You just, um... you've
wrecked a lot of stuff.
541
00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:22,797
So, I thought this is the perfect thing
542
00:21:22,831 --> 00:21:25,466
'cause if you wreck this, you'll die.
543
00:21:25,501 --> 00:21:26,768
Yeah. Why don't you try it?
544
00:21:26,802 --> 00:21:28,536
Get in there. Run some laps.
545
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:30,872
All right. This thing's amazing.
546
00:21:30,906 --> 00:21:33,775
Wood: You've got insurance, right?
547
00:21:33,809 --> 00:21:34,809
Yeah.
548
00:21:34,843 --> 00:21:36,911
Life insurance?
549
00:21:36,945 --> 00:21:38,413
That's your helmet
right there on the floor.
550
00:21:38,447 --> 00:21:39,514
All right.
551
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:40,948
How's that fit?
552
00:21:40,983 --> 00:21:42,283
That looks nice. Thank you.
553
00:21:42,317 --> 00:21:43,684
You look really good in that.
554
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,423
Remember... don't die.
555
00:21:48,457 --> 00:21:49,357
Got it.
556
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:51,092
[Engine revving]
557
00:21:56,932 --> 00:21:58,499
[Tires squeal]
558
00:21:58,534 --> 00:22:02,036
[Laughs] Damn, this is
the perfect car for this.
559
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,972
As I expected, Adam was
having a difficult time
560
00:22:05,007 --> 00:22:06,040
figuring out the Atom.
561
00:22:06,074 --> 00:22:07,442
[Tires screech]
562
00:22:07,476 --> 00:22:08,543
My fault.
563
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:10,478
[Laughs]
564
00:22:11,812 --> 00:22:15,014
This wasn't just an opportunity
for me to laugh at Adam.
565
00:22:15,049 --> 00:22:17,451
I also wanted him to learn
his limits behind the wheel
566
00:22:17,485 --> 00:22:19,620
so he wouldn't keep
wrecking the cars he drives.
567
00:22:21,055 --> 00:22:22,956
So, I invited a racing buddy of mine
568
00:22:22,991 --> 00:22:24,959
to help him refine his driving technique...
569
00:22:26,494 --> 00:22:27,929
Boris said.
570
00:22:27,930 --> 00:22:31,666
Boris said is one of the best
road racers in the business.
571
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,602
He has over 20 years of driving experience.
572
00:22:34,636 --> 00:22:36,504
How would you say his lap times are?
573
00:22:36,538 --> 00:22:39,907
They told me a good lap
time was in the 1:55s.
574
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:41,809
But he's at six minutes now.
575
00:22:41,844 --> 00:22:43,044
[Laughs]
576
00:22:47,883 --> 00:22:49,117
I timed you on your laps.
577
00:22:49,151 --> 00:22:50,318
You looked consistent,
578
00:22:50,352 --> 00:22:52,854
but I think we got to
go back to the basics.
579
00:22:52,888 --> 00:22:54,956
So, put it in neutral and get out.
580
00:22:56,358 --> 00:22:58,359
Ferrara: Apparently, a genesis coupe
581
00:22:58,394 --> 00:23:01,662
is the best way to learn some fundamentals,
582
00:23:01,697 --> 00:23:05,032
not the rocket-powered
paper clip Rut chose for me.
583
00:23:06,435 --> 00:23:07,668
What was my time in the Atom?
584
00:23:07,703 --> 00:23:09,570
You did a 2 minute, 43 second lap.
585
00:23:09,605 --> 00:23:11,739
What exactly should I be doing different
586
00:23:11,774 --> 00:23:12,774
to get a better time?
587
00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:13,875
Here's what we're gonna do.
588
00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:15,376
In this car, the Hyundai Genesis...
589
00:23:15,411 --> 00:23:17,278
With a street car, we
could really go out there
590
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:18,679
and learn the limits of the car.
591
00:23:18,714 --> 00:23:21,182
Because it's not a racecar,
so it's gonna roll over,
592
00:23:21,216 --> 00:23:22,417
the tires are gonna squeal,
593
00:23:22,451 --> 00:23:24,085
we can get it loose, get it tight.
594
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,020
So, hopefully we're
gonna shave some time off
595
00:23:26,054 --> 00:23:27,522
what you did in the Atom in the first run.
596
00:23:27,556 --> 00:23:28,489
That's great.
597
00:23:28,524 --> 00:23:30,758
Adam's crazy to think
598
00:23:30,793 --> 00:23:33,394
he can shave 20 seconds
off of his track time.
599
00:23:33,429 --> 00:23:35,062
Turn, turn. Then gas.
600
00:23:35,097 --> 00:23:39,233
Boris is good, but he's no miracle worker.
601
00:23:39,268 --> 00:23:41,135
Tight, tight, tight, tight.
602
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:42,437
Ferrara: Whoops. Oh, and there's a spin!
603
00:23:42,471 --> 00:23:43,438
[Bleep]
604
00:23:43,472 --> 00:23:45,506
That's a spin right there.
605
00:23:45,541 --> 00:23:47,341
If you get into a skid, you correct,
606
00:23:47,376 --> 00:23:49,076
wait for the pause, recover.
607
00:23:49,111 --> 00:23:51,045
And you can get out of any skid.
608
00:23:54,550 --> 00:23:56,984
Just keep it tight.
Set up your clutch hand.
609
00:23:57,019 --> 00:24:00,054
Again, it's not that Adam can't drive,
610
00:24:00,088 --> 00:24:03,090
it's just he can't seem to
drive without hurting something.
611
00:24:03,125 --> 00:24:05,193
This is your best one yet.
612
00:24:06,728 --> 00:24:08,963
He is getting a lot faster,
though. That's for sure.
613
00:24:15,637 --> 00:24:17,271
Wood: The real question is, Boris,
614
00:24:17,306 --> 00:24:18,673
do you think you knocked 20 seconds off?
615
00:24:18,707 --> 00:24:19,607
Oh, no doubt.
616
00:24:19,641 --> 00:24:20,641
Let's find out.
617
00:24:20,676 --> 00:24:22,443
Thanks to Boris,
618
00:24:22,478 --> 00:24:25,246
I went from car crasher to car controller.
619
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,081
Now I was gonna prove it to Rut.
620
00:24:27,115 --> 00:24:29,050
I've learned that smoother is better,
621
00:24:29,084 --> 00:24:31,385
slower is faster when
you need to be slower...
622
00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:32,487
It's perfectly fine.
623
00:24:32,521 --> 00:24:34,088
So, I'm not gonna wreck any cars anymore.
624
00:24:34,122 --> 00:24:36,691
All right. I don't know if I'm
gonna wreck any cars anymore.
625
00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:37,825
I'm not gonna wreck any cars today.

627
00:24:40,496 --> 00:24:44,899
My original lap time in the
Atom was 2 minutes, 43 seconds.
628
00:24:44,933 --> 00:24:47,535
And I was ready to shave 20 seconds off.
629
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:48,736
Oh, he's ready.

00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:52,206
Ready? 3, 2, 1.

Look how smooth he is.
637
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:12,260
Now, you taught him to go fast,
638
00:25:12,294 --> 00:25:13,928
you have to go slower, right?
639
00:25:13,962 --> 00:25:15,029
In some spots.
640
00:25:15,063 --> 00:25:17,798
It seems like he's going
slower to go slower.
641
00:25:17,833 --> 00:25:19,567
No, this is fast.

00:25:21,370 --> 00:25:22,837
Now he's on it.

Come on!
644
00:25:24,306 --> 00:25:27,675
After two laps, he shaved 10
seconds off his original time.
645
00:25:27,709 --> 00:25:29,777
But I attributed that to his instructor.

00:25:31,179 --> 00:25:33,414
he could help a monkey
take 10 seconds off it.

I'm feeling good about it.

00:26:22,297 --> 00:26:24,765
to help shave one more second off my time
673
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,001

All that really matters

is how the Atom stacks
up on our leader board,

and already up into the

Dancers around the country
are getting just jealous.
718
00:28:16,344 --> 00:28:19,847
The stig masterfully making his
way out of cameraman's corner
719
00:28:19,881 --> 00:28:21,115
into the final corner.
720
00:28:21,149 --> 00:28:23,517
Will he keep it together for one more turn?
721
00:28:23,552 --> 00:28:25,519
Yes! And he's across the line.
722
00:28:25,554 --> 00:28:26,587
[Cheers and applause]
723
00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:28,155
That was an insane lap.
724
00:28:28,190 --> 00:28:30,124
That looked like a lot of fun.
725
00:28:30,158 --> 00:28:33,427
The question is where does
it end up on the board?
726
00:28:33,462 --> 00:28:35,930
I mean, the Ferrari 458, 1:23 range.
727
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:38,299
The Lexus LFA, 1:22.
728
00:28:38,333 --> 00:28:40,634
You guys ready to see where the Atom falls?
729
00:28:40,669 --> 00:28:43,037
[Cheering]
730
00:28:43,071 --> 00:28:46,841
The Ariel Atom comes in at a 1:18.6!
731
00:28:46,875 --> 00:28:47,942
Wood: No way!
732
00:28:47,976 --> 00:28:48,943
A new leader on the board.
733
00:28:48,977 --> 00:28:51,212
Wow.
734
00:28:51,246 --> 00:28:54,181
And that is faster than
your rallycross car.
735
00:28:54,216 --> 00:28:56,383
I mean, the rallycross car
weighs twice as much, though.
736
00:28:56,418 --> 00:28:58,052
I mean, so, that's not really... come on.
737
00:28:58,086 --> 00:28:59,820
It shouldn't even be there. It's a racecar.
738
00:28:59,855 --> 00:29:01,388
I'm just glad there's no longer
739
00:29:01,423 --> 00:29:05,226
a $400,000 Ford Fiesta
on the top of the board.
740
00:29:05,260 --> 00:29:07,495
[Cheering]
741
00:29:07,529 --> 00:29:10,631
Coming up, it's demolition derby time
742
00:29:10,665 --> 00:29:14,001
in the most dangerous cars in the country.
743
00:29:16,344 --> 00:29:18,311
Wood: We Americans love cars,
744
00:29:18,346 --> 00:29:19,813
but not every car is perfect.
745
00:29:19,847 --> 00:29:21,214
Some are in fact dangerous.
746
00:29:21,249 --> 00:29:22,716
Oh, geez!
747
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:24,985
We were driving three of
the biggest offenders...
748
00:29:25,019 --> 00:29:28,088
The Pinto, the Samurai, and the Corvair.
749
00:29:28,122 --> 00:29:29,556
Foust: Whoa!
750
00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:32,792
And they were living
up to their reputation.
751
00:29:32,827 --> 00:29:34,961
The race challenge
proved to be so dangerous
752
00:29:34,996 --> 00:29:36,963
that we had to make safety modifications
753
00:29:36,998 --> 00:29:39,666
before taking to the obstacle course.
754
00:29:41,235 --> 00:29:42,469
Oh!
755
00:29:42,503 --> 00:29:45,071
Somehow Adam's Ford Pinto had won both.
756
00:29:48,175 --> 00:29:50,977
Now it was time to see
if our new, improved cars
757
00:29:51,012 --> 00:29:53,647
could stand up to the
ultimate safety test...
758
00:29:53,681 --> 00:29:56,650
A demolition derby.
759
00:29:56,684 --> 00:29:59,719
To prepare, we'd reinforce them overnight.
760
00:29:59,754 --> 00:30:02,722
Ferrara: This is great. Look at this.
761
00:30:02,757 --> 00:30:04,925
[Laughs] Pbht.
762
00:30:07,728 --> 00:30:09,362
[Laughs]
763
00:30:14,635 --> 00:30:16,102
Yee-haw!
764
00:30:20,241 --> 00:30:21,541
I'll be right there, though.
765
00:30:21,576 --> 00:30:22,943
You just get comfortable.
766
00:30:22,977 --> 00:30:24,344
Need a hand?
767
00:30:24,378 --> 00:30:26,112
No, I'm fine.
768
00:30:26,147 --> 00:30:28,381
Wow.
769
00:30:28,416 --> 00:30:30,383
I mean, you guys realize this is it.
770
00:30:30,418 --> 00:30:32,385
It's all or nothing right here.
771
00:30:32,420 --> 00:30:34,254
Let's do this.
772
00:30:34,288 --> 00:30:35,855
Let's do it.
773
00:30:40,494 --> 00:30:42,395
I did not think of that.
774
00:30:45,499 --> 00:30:48,268
These are huge cars.
775
00:30:48,302 --> 00:30:50,737
We're gonna be [Bleep]
776
00:30:52,940 --> 00:30:54,874
This is a death lap.
777
00:30:54,909 --> 00:30:56,910
[Engines revving]
778
00:30:59,447 --> 00:31:00,480
Oh, my God.
779
00:31:02,016 --> 00:31:03,149
We don't even have numbers.
780
00:31:03,184 --> 00:31:04,951
That's what you're worried about?
781
00:31:04,986 --> 00:31:06,620
You've got fire extinguishers on your roof.
782
00:31:06,654 --> 00:31:08,321
That make you feel better?
783
00:31:08,356 --> 00:31:10,423
See? Huh? Who's laughing now.
784
00:31:10,458 --> 00:31:11,524
When I say this, I mean it.
785
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:12,592
Good luck.
786
00:31:12,627 --> 00:31:14,294
Yeah. [Sighs]
787
00:31:14,328 --> 00:31:15,929
I hope that six-wheel drive works for you.
788
00:31:15,963 --> 00:31:16,896
Oh, we're dead.
789
00:31:16,931 --> 00:31:18,765
It is. It's gonna work great.
790
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:20,600
How you doing?
791
00:31:22,269 --> 00:31:24,537
That guy said your car's ugly.
792
00:31:24,572 --> 00:31:27,407
I'm just saying. The guy in the Corvair.
793
00:31:27,441 --> 00:31:29,876
[Engines revving]
794
00:31:33,581 --> 00:31:35,482
Holy [Bleep]
795
00:31:36,817 --> 00:31:39,552
Oh, my God.
796
00:31:41,989 --> 00:31:43,356
I am peeing my pants.
797
00:31:43,391 --> 00:31:46,826
The ground is actually
shaking from these cars.
798
00:31:46,861 --> 00:31:47,994
[Engines revving]
799
00:31:48,029 --> 00:31:49,929
We are in big trouble.
800
00:31:49,964 --> 00:31:50,964
We're [Bleep]
801
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:54,434
Ladies and gentlemen, now it is time
802
00:31:54,468 --> 00:31:56,936
for something we call
"Big Star, Small Car."
803
00:31:56,971 --> 00:31:59,105
And our star doesn't get
much bigger than this.
804
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:00,807
You know him from "Criminal Minds,"
805
00:32:00,841 --> 00:32:02,208
and the man played Dean Martin.
806
00:32:02,243 --> 00:32:03,309
Mr. Joe Mantegna!
807
00:32:03,344 --> 00:32:04,310
Whoa!
808
00:32:04,345 --> 00:32:05,512
[Cheering]
809
00:32:05,546 --> 00:32:07,180
Thanks for coming out,
pal. I appreciate it.
810
00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:09,416
All right.
811
00:32:09,450 --> 00:32:10,984
So, how do you think you're
gonna do on the track?
812
00:32:11,018 --> 00:32:13,319
Oh, well, you know, Mario
Andretti was Italian.
813
00:32:13,354 --> 00:32:14,821
I'm Italian. Figure it out.
814
00:32:14,855 --> 00:32:15,822
I like your thinking, my friend.
815
00:32:15,856 --> 00:32:17,090
Why don't you mount up this beast
816
00:32:17,124 --> 00:32:18,792
and we'll see how you do?
817
00:32:18,826 --> 00:32:20,193
All right, let's go.
818
00:32:23,497 --> 00:32:25,265
Ferrara: Mass has ended. Go in peace.
819
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,400
He's off.
820
00:32:27,435 --> 00:32:28,635
Mantegna: Ohh.
821
00:32:28,669 --> 00:32:31,504
Time to beat... Patrick Warburton, 1:41.8.
822
00:32:31,539 --> 00:32:33,073
Let's see how Joe does.
823
00:32:33,107 --> 00:32:35,041
Nice arc. Nice and smooth.
824
00:32:35,076 --> 00:32:36,276
Take it easy.
825
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:38,778
All right, he's heading
into the first corner.
826
00:32:38,813 --> 00:32:40,747
And he takes it... Gently.
827
00:32:40,781 --> 00:32:42,015
That's right.
828
00:32:42,049 --> 00:32:44,617
Stay on the track, Joe.
829
00:32:44,652 --> 00:32:48,154
He's coming out of the chicane... Gently.
830
00:32:48,189 --> 00:32:50,223
Get ready for the next downshift.
831
00:32:50,257 --> 00:32:53,226
[Tires squeal]
832
00:32:53,260 --> 00:32:55,562
Okay, now I'm headed for the tear drop.
833
00:32:55,596 --> 00:32:57,764
Okay, he knows where he's going.
834
00:32:57,798 --> 00:33:01,034
He just doesn't appear to
be in a hurry to get there.
835
00:33:01,068 --> 00:33:02,669
All right, here's the straight.
836
00:33:02,703 --> 00:33:04,804
Here's where he can make up some time.
837
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:08,441
At the halfway point, Joe is on
the bottom part of our board...
838
00:33:08,476 --> 00:33:10,310
The Steve Schirripa neighborhood.
839
00:33:10,344 --> 00:33:13,379
Try not to kill the cameraman.
840
00:33:13,414 --> 00:33:15,381
He's coming into cameraman's corner.
841
00:33:15,416 --> 00:33:17,217
This turn can be very dangerous.
842
00:33:17,251 --> 00:33:19,919
[Tires squeal]
843
00:33:19,954 --> 00:33:21,020
Not today.
844
00:33:21,055 --> 00:33:23,623
Accelerate. Take it to third.
845
00:33:23,657 --> 00:33:25,892
Heading into the final section of track.
846
00:33:25,926 --> 00:33:28,795
Take it wide, come in close to the tires.
847
00:33:28,829 --> 00:33:30,363
Here's the last turn.
848
00:33:32,133 --> 00:33:33,533
He just crossed the line!
849
00:33:33,567 --> 00:33:34,601
Whoo!
850
00:33:34,635 --> 00:33:38,238
[Cheering]
851
00:33:38,272 --> 00:33:41,207
Joe Mantegna! Come on up, Joe!
852
00:33:44,712 --> 00:33:46,379
Thanks for being here.
853
00:33:54,522 --> 00:33:56,723
So, how was it, my
friend? Did you have fun?
854
00:33:56,757 --> 00:33:57,590
I did have fun.
855
00:33:57,625 --> 00:33:58,892
- Yeah?
- I did have fun.
856
00:33:58,926 --> 00:34:00,660
My stomach is just starting to settle now.
857
00:34:00,694 --> 00:34:01,795
Right.
858
00:34:01,829 --> 00:34:03,062
One thing I learned...
859
00:34:03,097 --> 00:34:05,465
Don't eat right before you do this.
- No.
860
00:34:05,499 --> 00:34:07,934
You are a criminal profiler
on "Criminal Minds."
861
00:34:07,968 --> 00:34:09,102
- Right.
- Right.
862
00:34:09,136 --> 00:34:10,336
And one of the best things about that show
863
00:34:10,371 --> 00:34:13,106
is your daily driver on
that show is a G4 jet.
864
00:34:13,140 --> 00:34:15,375
Yeah! Wherever you guys
show up, someone's dead.
865
00:34:15,409 --> 00:34:16,743
Oh, yeah.
866
00:34:16,777 --> 00:34:19,045
So, if you see Joe getting
off a plane, somebody died.
867
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:20,313
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
868
00:34:20,347 --> 00:34:22,048
What is your daily driver?
869
00:34:22,082 --> 00:34:25,251
Right now I drive an Audi TT.
870
00:34:25,286 --> 00:34:26,419
Nice.
871
00:34:26,453 --> 00:34:27,620
Yeah, but I've had a
little of this blacked out
872
00:34:27,655 --> 00:34:28,721
and this powder coated.
873
00:34:28,756 --> 00:34:29,989
You murdered out a TT?
874
00:34:30,024 --> 00:34:30,990
Yeah.
875
00:34:31,025 --> 00:34:33,159
I know, it's... Look, you know.
876
00:34:33,194 --> 00:34:34,694
I'm not as young as I used to be.
877
00:34:34,728 --> 00:34:35,995
No, that's cool.
878
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:38,965
And you're a musician,
as well, I just found out.
879
00:34:38,999 --> 00:34:40,800
Well, I was. I mean, back in the '60s.
880
00:34:40,835 --> 00:34:42,936
I was actually in a band
for about five years.
881
00:34:42,970 --> 00:34:44,237
We used to tour with a group called...
882
00:34:44,271 --> 00:34:45,839
At that time they were
called The Missing Links.
883
00:34:45,873 --> 00:34:46,873
Mm-hmm.
884
00:34:46,907 --> 00:34:48,508
And we were called TheApocryphals.
885
00:34:48,542 --> 00:34:49,709
And we would tour with them quite a bit.
886
00:34:49,743 --> 00:34:51,277
And I remember them telling us...
887
00:34:51,312 --> 00:34:53,179
Oh, there we are. There's The Apocryphals.
888
00:34:53,214 --> 00:34:54,447
And I remember, they decided...
889
00:34:54,481 --> 00:34:55,982
They said, "we're gonna change our name."
890
00:34:56,016 --> 00:34:57,617
We're gonna add a couple guys to our band."
891
00:34:57,651 --> 00:34:59,052
I'm talking about The Missing Links.
892
00:34:59,086 --> 00:35:01,054
They said, "we're gonna change our name."
893
00:35:01,088 --> 00:35:02,889
We're gonna call ourselves
Chicago Transit Authority."
894
00:35:02,923 --> 00:35:04,357
We're thinking, "yeah, that's cute.
895
00:35:04,391 --> 00:35:05,425
It'll never go."
896
00:35:05,459 --> 00:35:08,294
You know, they became the group Chicago.
897
00:35:08,329 --> 00:35:09,629
We became nothing.
898
00:35:09,663 --> 00:35:12,131
And so, the writing was on the wall.
899
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:13,600
I thought, "maybe I should try acting."
900
00:35:13,634 --> 00:35:15,468
So, I kind of went another
direction with my career.
901
00:35:15,502 --> 00:35:16,603
And is that your band car?
902
00:35:16,637 --> 00:35:17,871
That was the band car.
903
00:35:17,905 --> 00:35:20,940
It's a 1947 Buick.
904
00:35:20,975 --> 00:35:22,575
- Straight-8? - That
is... a straight-8.
905
00:35:22,610 --> 00:35:23,743
That's me on the left
906
00:35:23,777 --> 00:35:25,511
with the, you know, the
George Harrison look.
907
00:35:25,546 --> 00:35:32,619
That was probably about 1966,
and I bought that car for $225.
908
00:35:32,653 --> 00:35:35,688
And then what happened is I
got it cast in the play "Hair."
909
00:35:35,723 --> 00:35:37,190
I did the play for two years.
910
00:35:37,224 --> 00:35:40,026
Then when the play closed, I
decided I had to get the car.
911
00:35:40,060 --> 00:35:45,231
I was in Chicago, snow, the weather.
I'm gonna put the car in storage.
912
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:48,401
So, my dear friend says, "why
don't you stick it in my barn?"
913
00:35:48,435 --> 00:35:49,836
He's got a barn in Indiana. Okay.
914
00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:51,170
He says, "stick it in the barn."
915
00:35:51,205 --> 00:35:53,973
"You crack it out in a year or two
when you've got a little money."
916
00:35:54,008 --> 00:35:55,041
Little did he know,
917
00:35:55,075 --> 00:35:56,609
I wouldn't have money for 30 more years.
918
00:35:56,644 --> 00:35:57,977
[Laughter]
919
00:35:58,012 --> 00:36:00,813
But literally 30 years later,
920
00:36:00,848 --> 00:36:03,049
I get a call from this
friend of mine saying,
921
00:36:03,083 --> 00:36:05,485
"you know, I'm moving.
I'm moving from the farm.
922
00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:07,487
What do you want to do with the car?"
923
00:36:07,521 --> 00:36:10,023
And I'm going, "the car?
You still have the car?"
924
00:36:10,057 --> 00:36:11,691
And he goes, "yeah, the car's in the barn."
925
00:36:11,725 --> 00:36:12,692
I think mice live in it."
926
00:36:12,726 --> 00:36:14,160
[Laughter]
927
00:36:14,194 --> 00:36:15,261
I felt bad.
928
00:36:15,296 --> 00:36:17,463
I said, "this guy kept
this car for 30 years."
929
00:36:17,498 --> 00:36:19,866
I said, "why don't you
stick it on a flatbed?"
930
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:21,301
Send it out to California."
931
00:36:21,335 --> 00:36:23,303
You know, that car...
That was my first car.
932
00:36:23,337 --> 00:36:24,904
I bought it, you know, when I was 19.
933
00:36:24,939 --> 00:36:25,738
Sure. Mm-hmm.
934
00:36:25,773 --> 00:36:26,940
I'm gonna fix it up
935
00:36:26,974 --> 00:36:29,742
and, you know, bring it
back to this original glory.
936
00:36:29,777 --> 00:36:33,379
Well, I think you have a photo of what
the car looked like when it arrived.
937
00:36:33,414 --> 00:36:34,314
Mm-hmm.
938
00:36:34,348 --> 00:36:37,116
That's what the car looked like.
939
00:36:37,151 --> 00:36:41,020
I remember I was doing the Leno
show the day after the car arrived.
940
00:36:41,055 --> 00:36:43,723
And knowing what a car buff
he is, I brought that picture.
941
00:36:43,757 --> 00:36:45,892
And I said, "Jay, you're a car buff.
942
00:36:45,926 --> 00:36:49,028
"I just want to show you...
Here's a picture of the car.
943
00:36:49,063 --> 00:36:51,464
I just got my car back from 30 years ago."
944
00:36:51,498 --> 00:36:54,100
You know he looks at it
and said, "alert the Navy."
945
00:36:54,134 --> 00:36:55,335
We found their anchor."
946
00:36:55,369 --> 00:36:57,303
[Laughter]
947
00:36:57,338 --> 00:36:59,639
But I said to myself actually on that day,
948
00:36:59,673 --> 00:37:02,041
I said, "Jay, you're
gonna eat those words."
949
00:37:02,076 --> 00:37:04,677
"However long it takes,
I'm gonna bring this car
950
00:37:04,712 --> 00:37:09,148
back somewhat to those glory days."
951
00:37:09,183 --> 00:37:11,651
10 years later, this car became...
952
00:37:11,685 --> 00:37:13,186
[Snaps fingers] That car.
953
00:37:13,220 --> 00:37:14,087
Ha ha!
954
00:37:14,121 --> 00:37:15,154
[Cheers and applause]
955
00:37:19,493 --> 00:37:21,995
All right, so how do you think you did?
956
00:37:22,029 --> 00:37:24,897
Boy, you know, I'm looking at this thing...
957
00:37:24,932 --> 00:37:27,667
Steve Schirripa's a good friend.
958
00:37:27,701 --> 00:37:28,801
I wouldn't be embarrassed
959
00:37:28,836 --> 00:37:30,436
if I was, like, right around Steve.
960
00:37:30,471 --> 00:37:32,372
Chumlee... I worry about a person
961
00:37:32,406 --> 00:37:33,740
with a name like Chumlee.
962
00:37:33,774 --> 00:37:34,841
[Laughter]
963
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:35,908
Was that a person?
964
00:37:35,943 --> 00:37:37,343
- Yeah, it's a person.
- Okay, it's a person.
965
00:37:37,378 --> 00:37:39,045
I didn't want to get
beaten by, like, a monkey
966
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:40,413
or something, you know?
967
00:37:40,447 --> 00:37:42,348
All right, you guys want to see Joe's time?
968
00:37:42,383 --> 00:37:43,449
[Cheering]
969
00:37:43,484 --> 00:37:45,918
Yes! I'm ready.
970
00:37:48,989 --> 00:37:50,957
You did it...
971
00:37:50,991 --> 00:37:52,991
In 1:51.1.
972
00:37:57,064 --> 00:37:58,331
[Cheering]
973
00:37:58,365 --> 00:38:01,434
Yes! Just what I hoped for!
974
00:38:01,468 --> 00:38:02,935
[Laughs] That's great.
975
00:38:02,970 --> 00:38:04,771
Thank you for being here, pal.
976
00:38:04,805 --> 00:38:06,339
Thank you. Joe mantegna!
977
00:38:06,373 --> 00:38:07,473
[Cheering]
978
00:38:10,911 --> 00:38:13,679
Foust: Coming up, we
put our lives on the line
979
00:38:13,714 --> 00:38:15,415
as we hit the demolition derby...
980
00:38:15,449 --> 00:38:17,717
Get that piece of crap off my hood!
981
00:38:17,751 --> 00:38:20,053
...In our dangerous cars.
982
00:38:21,682 --> 00:38:22,982
Foust: We'd each bought a car
983
00:38:23,016 --> 00:38:24,383
that had gotten a bad
rap for being dangerous.
984
00:38:24,418 --> 00:38:25,885
Whoa!
985
00:38:25,919 --> 00:38:29,055
And we set out on a road trip to
try to salvage their reputations.
986
00:38:29,089 --> 00:38:30,957
That was completely my fault.
987
00:38:30,991 --> 00:38:33,893
Adam's Pinto had won the racing
and obstacle course challenges,
988
00:38:33,927 --> 00:38:39,498
but we were about to put them through
the ultimate automotive safety test...
989
00:38:39,533 --> 00:38:42,768
A demolition derby.
990
00:38:42,803 --> 00:38:45,037
We'd need to survive three minutes
991
00:38:45,072 --> 00:38:47,974
against each other and
four real demo derby cars.
992
00:38:48,008 --> 00:38:49,342
[Engines revving]
993
00:38:49,376 --> 00:38:52,111
The first car to drive
out of the arena at the end
994
00:38:52,145 --> 00:38:55,615
would be crowned the
safest most dangerous car.
995
00:38:55,649 --> 00:38:59,118
[Timer beeping]
996
00:38:59,152 --> 00:39:00,987
[Timer chimes]
997
00:39:01,021 --> 00:39:02,655
I'm out of here! Oh, no!
998
00:39:04,491 --> 00:39:06,726
Oh, you've got to be kidding me!
999
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,929
Go, Pinto! Get away!
1000
00:39:10,931 --> 00:39:11,831
[Coughs]
1001
00:39:15,669 --> 00:39:17,536
Is that all you got?!
1002
00:39:17,571 --> 00:39:20,806
Ohh! Oh [Bleep]
1003
00:39:20,841 --> 00:39:23,409
Two wheel motion! That's how it works!
1004
00:39:23,443 --> 00:39:24,677
That's how we do it here!
1005
00:39:24,711 --> 00:39:26,579
Oh [Bleep] Tanner!
1006
00:39:29,950 --> 00:39:33,853
Watch it! Get that piece
of crap off my hood!
1007
00:39:33,887 --> 00:39:35,488
Yeah! That's right!
1008
00:39:38,492 --> 00:39:40,726
Ohh! [Laughing] Oh!
1009
00:39:40,761 --> 00:39:44,196
Whoa! Whoa! This is it!
1010
00:39:45,265 --> 00:39:46,265
Ohh!
1011
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,868
Are you kidding me?!
1012
00:39:48,902 --> 00:39:50,036
Oh, no! Here it comes!

00:39:52,939 --> 00:39:54,640
[Extinguishers hiss]
1014
00:39:54,675 --> 00:39:55,641
What the hell?!

00:39:55,676 --> 00:39:57,743
Oh, he hit the extinguisher on me!
1016

You jackass!

00:40:01,214 --> 00:40:03,149
Come on, Rut. Come around, baby.
1019
00:40:03,183 --> 00:40:04,850
Come on! [Laughing] I'm gonna get you!
1020
00:40:04,885 --> 00:40:06,252
Okay, I'm gonna throw up.
1021
00:40:06,286 --> 00:40:07,853
Ohh!
1022
00:40:08,855 --> 00:40:10,690
I'm up on his car!

Yeah!
1027
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:22,868
That is so satisfying,
and I don't know why.
1028
00:40:22,903 --> 00:40:24,136
Oh, Adam's going in the ditch.
1029
00:40:24,171 --> 00:40:25,404
Get in there.
1030
00:40:25,439 --> 00:40:26,939

Aw.

00:40:30,677 --> 00:40:32,912
And that's the horn! Yeah!

It's the last Samurai.
1036
00:40:34,715 --> 00:40:38,117
You're gonna have to back
up so I can get out, jerk.
1037
00:40:39,186 --> 00:40:41,520
Ferrara: The race is
done. I didn't blow up.
1038
00:40:41,555 --> 00:40:43,756
And with just a few simple modifications,
1039
00:40:43,790 --> 00:40:46,325
the Pinto is a perfectly safe car.
1040
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,560
My gosh.
1041
00:40:47,594 --> 00:40:53,799
That is the most insane
thing I have ever done.
1042

Why won't you die?!

You've got a lot of
aggression problems, my friend.
1047
00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:04,643
That was the longest three minutes...
1048
00:41:04,678 --> 00:41:05,478
I know.
1049
00:41:05,512 --> 00:41:06,812
In history.
1050
00:41:06,847 --> 00:41:08,447
But I clearly won.
1051
00:41:08,482 --> 00:41:10,116
What do you mean you "clearly won"?
1052
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:12,318
Look at your cars. They're a mess.
1053
00:41:12,352 --> 00:41:14,553
Yeah, but it wasn't about how it...
1054
00:41:14,588 --> 00:41:16,756
But it's when you leave
that the damage counts.
1055
00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:19,225
The least damage in the car
to drive out of the arena.
1056
00:41:19,259 --> 00:41:20,760
That looks stuck from here.
1057
00:41:22,562 --> 00:41:24,997
So, is it the first one out of the arena?
1058
00:41:25,031 --> 00:41:29,368
It could be. I guess it... all right.

00:42:00,434 --> 00:42:01,634
I did it!
1072
00:42:01,668 --> 00:42:03,669
A little rock.
1073
00:42:03,703 --> 00:42:06,105
[Sighs]
1074
00:42:06,139 --> 00:42:07,640
[Engine revs]
1075
00:42:07,674 --> 00:42:11,877
I couldn't turn! I've
got like nine flat tires.
1076
00:42:11,912 --> 00:42:13,412
[Wood laughs]
1077
00:42:13,447 --> 00:42:14,680
This is gonna suck.
1078
00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:19,919
Safe at any speed.
1079
00:42:19,953 --> 00:42:23,155
Foust: Look at him. Ohh, he's depressed.
1080
00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:25,090
You're just gonna abandon that thing, huh?
1081
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:26,492
Let me just say one thing.
1082
00:42:26,526 --> 00:42:28,394
It went through the whole race...
1083
00:42:28,428 --> 00:42:30,496
No fire, no explosions.
1084
00:42:30,530 --> 00:42:32,698
So, I may not have been able to drive out
1085
00:42:32,732 --> 00:42:35,468
because I was in a rut, but
the car is perfectly safe.
1086
00:42:35,502 --> 00:42:36,435
[Explosion]
1087
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:39,972
[Laughs]
1088
00:42:40,006 --> 00:42:42,341
Holy [Bleep]
1089
00:42:42,375 --> 00:42:44,109
Let's get marshmallows!
1090
00:42:44,144 --> 00:42:46,145
[Laughs]
1091
00:42:46,179 --> 00:42:47,513
Who feels like a s'more?
1092
00:42:47,547 --> 00:42:48,647
Don't say anything.
1093
00:42:48,682 --> 00:42:50,216
Come on! It's a great pick me up!
1094
00:42:50,250 --> 00:42:51,116
Don't say anything.
1095
00:42:51,151 --> 00:42:52,718
Come on, look at that.
1096
00:42:52,752 --> 00:42:55,521
Foust: That's a good flame right there.
1097
00:42:55,555 --> 00:42:57,289
[Cheers and applause]
1098
00:42:57,324 --> 00:43:00,159
That's right. That's right.
1099
00:43:00,193 --> 00:43:01,927
The Corvair wins!
1100
00:43:01,962 --> 00:43:06,797
- Its reputation has been restored.
- No, it hasn't!
1101
00:43:06,831 --> 00:43:07,599
Yeah! And you know what?
1102
00:43:07,633 --> 00:43:09,067
The only thing better than winning
1103
00:43:09,102 --> 00:43:10,802
was watching your Pinto...
[Imitates explosion]
1104
00:43:10,837 --> 00:43:11,471
Blow up.
1105
00:43:12,105 --> 00:43:13,138
It didn't blow up.
1106
00:43:13,173 --> 00:43:14,974
That was a controlled burn, okay?
1107
00:43:15,008 --> 00:43:16,876
How did you restore the reputation?
1108
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:17,943
You made it worse.
1109
00:43:17,978 --> 00:43:19,778
You put six wheels on the rear axle.
1110
00:43:19,813 --> 00:43:22,548
It's an eight-wheeled death
trap is what you made it.
1111
00:43:22,582 --> 00:43:23,682
What are you laugh...
1112
00:43:23,717 --> 00:43:26,318
You put scaffolding on
the side of that car.
1113
00:43:26,353 --> 00:43:27,486
Yes, I did.
1114
00:43:27,521 --> 00:43:29,755
And you can drive down the road in comfort
1115
00:43:29,789 --> 00:43:31,090
and then blow up.
1116
00:43:31,124 --> 00:43:32,124
[Laughter]
1117
00:43:32,158 --> 00:43:33,392
Hey, I made my car fun.
1118
00:43:33,426 --> 00:43:35,160
I mean, that's what these
cars are about, right?
1119
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:37,630
I made the only rolling weeble wobble ever.
1120
00:43:37,664 --> 00:43:39,598
Once you knock it down,
it comes right back up.
1121
00:43:39,633 --> 00:43:41,400
Yeah, that's fun to drive like this going,
1122
00:43:41,434 --> 00:43:43,602
"hey, we're making good time."
1123
00:43:43,637 --> 00:43:44,637
"We're good now."
1124
00:43:44,671 --> 00:43:46,005
It was kind of fun.
1125
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,607
These are nice points except
the only one that counts
1126
00:43:48,642 --> 00:43:50,976
is the fact that my
Corvair got out the fastest.
1127
00:43:51,011 --> 00:43:53,612
The Corvair wins! That's
all we got time for!
1128
00:43:53,647 --> 00:43:55,814
[Cheering]
1129
00:43:55,815 --> 00:43:58,815
