I watched this yesterday. Looks like JG got his revenge on the Jalopnik writer and he was scared sh!tless!

What? You think that a Japolnik writer would have noticed he was picked up in a v8, RWD, ~$35k, police only car?

Find out a way to it legally and I will take Randy to a dealership and show you a REAL reaction if you don't believe this one. Hell I've had the same reaction riding with him myself, minus the screaming like 10 year old girl part.

My thought too. Unless he was staring at his phone or feet, the dual exhaust was pretty conspicuous as he was walking to the car. Still fun to watch though.

So when you guys get into a taxi you check to see if it has dual exhaust or not? Unless the taxi was a CTS-V or something I wouldn't have given it a second thought.

Probably not. Maybe because I knew what the video was about, it was the first thing that stood out to me about the car. From there I had a vague recollection of the police only, stretched for offender comfort caprice.

James may have noticed. I mean he is a lot closer to the tailpipes than you or I. :wink:

That car looks a lot like this 2008 5.3L Impala, which could very likely be a cab at this point in its life.

Regardless, he looked pretty silly being bounced around the back of the car while staring at his phone. I would go on now to say that most people look pretty silly while staring at their phones instead of doing something useful, but I'll probably have to bug some of you tomorrow to show me my times, and I don't want to antagonize anyone. :)

I hadn't heard that he died. Of course, haven't heard any of his bits since John Boy & Billy vanished from Triangle radio.
