As it happens, "top gear", the bbc's car show, reran their "go to the us, buy a car instead of renting, and drive across the US" show last night. Unfortunately, their original plan was to drive to New Orleans and sell the cars.
Interesting comments from them as objective third parties, upon arrival in New Orleans, a year after Katrina: "You'd think the richest nation in the world would have done something about this in a year". "How does the rest of America sleep at night?"
In the end they feel bad about trying to sell their cars there, and end up donating them to needy residents. Which is more than most Americans or American TV shows have done, ironically.
