Super-turbo cars? "Top Gear,” a show that features super-turboed automobiles and adrenaline-charged automobile stunts, will spin its wheels on the Skyway between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., shutting off all traffic in both directions between the Niagara Thruway and Ohio Street.

> [@Mike93](#): > > I don’t know what I was expecting, but there really isn’t much excitement down here:/ Yeah, it’s lots and lots of takes of nonsense I’m sure. I would really only want to be there for when the amphibious cars hit the water, since you know one is going pretty much straight to the bottom. Nothing Top Gear US has done has strayed very far from the script of Top Gear UK. ---

Puttering around lake erie is a lot different than crossing the channel. lol True, but the first Top Gear UK amphibious challenge just involved a little boat launch and a small canal. When the producers gave them a 2nd chance they raised the bar to the channel.
