You all don't seem to get it - the racism is mildly annoying, but the really offensive thing is that this is supposed to be a show about cars, but the hosts don't know very much about cars.

Or is that part of the joke, this is like a fake auto show, and the hosts aren't really car guys? If so, never mind.

That's closer to it, it's more of a personality show
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.
