Damn, that was impressive. I wouldn't have had a clue for any of those.

I always love Jay Leno and Tim Allen's banter. Good stuff.

Me: It's gotta be a GM. I know that because it says 'Oldsmobile' on it.

Tim: It's gotta be a GM. I know that because the shift is at a 100 rpm lower point and takes three tenths of a second longer than a Ford.

Side note, I heard Tim, and Richard Karn are teaming up on History ?!? channel for something fun.
