I have often wondered how they approach some of their segments...

"Hello, McDonalds?  We'd like to drive a big truck through your dive-thru and in the process knock out bits and chunks of it.  Thanks!"

"May we park two cars in your coffee shop parking lot and then drive over them?  Thanks!"

"Can we road test your $400,000 truck and then try and blow it up with 7lbs of explosives? Thanks!"

Well, if you think about it, Alot of people watch top gear. So would you be willing to sacrifice just 1 of your models in order to have your car's ruggedness displayed on a tv show that millions watch?
Same is prob said for mcdonalds.



Is it even legal in the U.S?  :lol
