WOW! A real nail biter this time around. I really thought after the challenge AND the tranny leaking fluid that team 9 was done for. Great job fixing the line on the road Alsop and getting the T/A to the finish line. Keep up the good work.

As far as the Honda guys, what a bunch of panty wastes! Jees, grow some nuts fellahs!

Ford guys: this should be interesting them trying to police everyone else about speeding. Something tells me the Lotus dudes are going to knock some heads over this one.

Lmao! Even before he started to get ready for the drift...i was thinking "All you have to do is go really fast, turn the wheel extremely hard, and yank that e-brake"...But he basically made an *** of himself.

WOW, what an episode. REally wasnt a great leg for team T/A. Lost the Challenge, but that wasnt too big of a deal, only lost like 1 or 2 spots. On the plus side, they got the time bonus, which if it wasnt for that, they would be gone. When the tranny problem came about, i was afraid you guys were done and i would have to find another show to watch on tuesday nights, i really cant believe you guys pulled it off. I swear i heard the worlds biggest "sigh" from all the f-body and ls1 owners that watch when the the tranny line broke, and i was one of them. But Way to go guys, unbelievable is all i can say. Now on the the F-150 cry babies, if you cant run with the big dogs, then stay on the porch. The little cutlass ****** need to watch their mouth about who they talk sh*t about. Props to the BMW boys for doing what they did, earned my respect for sure. What is with the comment that dirty rice made. There was no point in saying that, especially on camera, stupid and immature IMO. GO TEAM TRANS AM!!!!!

BMW does deserve props for what they did, family over anything - even 200,000 dollers imo.

Mike and Morgan, Did they warn you before the show that they would have you do stunts that would result in extensive damage to your car? Hitting that glass had to be hard on the paint, and what were those bars that held the glass made of? They showed damage to the Honda, but didn't show the T/A, BMW, or the Lotus. That lotus looked like it hit just as hard as the honda.

Next Challenge, maybe Morgan should drive.

It probably was spray painted with non auto paint to top it. Well, i was thinking when mike said he had the Ten bolt rear and he was running it pretty hard during the first challenge, i was just hoping it wouldnt break. then my next thought was if the auto tranny could hold up to the extra power being put through it. It has held up pretty well..untill the lines broke. man the tranny fluid had to be hot, did you use any gloves trying to get it fixed or just bare hands?

Morgan told me that the fluid got everywhere, including his eyes and he couldn't see for a while. If you pay attention when he gets back in the car his eyes are all messed up.
