Well, its hard, but I think the deciding factor for me is this...it looks like you need to be a ginga to be on MB...

So therefore I would choose Topgear...I mean you get PAID to thrash cars!

Plus with the $$$ you would be making, you could do your experiments on the side....


I mean in the real world whats going to get the girls? The ginga or the fast/expensive car?

I was just watching Discovery channel and it was advertising the New Mythbuster Episodes Next month. About time they got some more shows on. Too many re runs :P

Are you a dentist? :P

If the pay for each job was the same (which it won't be, but hypothetically speaking) then definately Mythbusters ... cause you would be able to own some of the cars that end up on top gear, and there is such a thing as too famous.

Mythbusters for me. Without hesitation.

Have you seen some of the cars they have to test?? Yuk. MOSTLY brit cars. I'd rather walk!!

Its always fun stuff they do on Myth busters, and a wider range - you never know what you might have to play with! All working on Top Gear would do would make me realise how gay my own car is, and you have to give back the odd fun car you'd get.

They don't get to drive Zonda's, Ferrari's, Lamorghini's, Konesigggeseeggssiss, Bugatti's and things like that on Mythbusters ;)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Top gear: JC = I'm teh man and I don't give a crap about what anybody thinks, coz I run the show

Mythbusters: Jamie = cynical old man who's got a few tricks up his sleeves, Adam = typical bigger is better numbnuts which busts out some cool stuff, Kari = hmmmmmmmmmmmmm HELLS YEAH!

Mythbusters seem to do a lot more dirty work, but Top gear kinda sux when at times they have their heads up their a$$ (especially with JC)

James May is undoubtedly the coolest fella on Top Gear. His sense of humour is even DRYER than Clarkson's I reckon.

But yeah TG for me, I'm sorry but blowing no amount of shit up could compare to fanging an Enzo, an F40, an XJ220, a McLaren F1, a Zonda and a Carrera GT around the test track all on one day.
