The Witty Trio of Top Gear Almost Get Killed in Alabama (Video)

Nothing demonstrates the Southern underbelly of redneck-ism like the episode from Top Gear entitled Road Trip in America. The boys have been charged with the task of flying to America, buying a used car for a $1,000 or less, and driving through the deep, dark South, destination, New Orleans. Before reaching the Alabama border, they each decorate the others’ cars with the mission to get each other killed.

It is funny as hell, at first, but the gear-head Brits had not counted on how animalistic and violent Southern/redneck pride can be. Put on you seat belts. As Jeremy points out, the rednecks they encounter suffer from “irony deficiency.”
