Namely, getting your significant other to feel one-tenth of the excitement about cars that you feel. Sure, you&#8217;ve tried explaining that while you almost drove off the freeway, it&#8217;s okay because you were trying to catch up with a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car. Or that waking up at 5:30 am on a Saturday to stand around in a parking lot drinking coffee and gawking at old cars is a perfectly normal family activity. You&#8217;ve probably even suggested that she might be happier driving to work in a Citro&euml;n DS. Maybe that last part is just us. But maybe not.<\/p>\n<p> Well friends, we have found the solution. The following ten minute clip of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/Jeremy+Clarkson\/\">Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> waxing extra poetic about three &#8220;mad&#8221; SUVs is practically guaranteed to delight even the most fervent, dyed-in-the-wool car hater. It&#8217;s simply brilliant. Why? Because it&#8217;s Jeremy at his very best. Yes, of course, he insults stewardesses, environmentalists and the mentally ill all the while powersliding around an abandoned air strip. But he does it all in his 100-percent totally lovable way that frankly we find impossible to resist. Even those spouses that think your big, fat V8, &#8220;sounds wasteful&#8221; are sure to become fast fans. How could anyone argue with &#8220;sliced dolphins?&#8221; Make the jump to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/23\/video-top-gear-pits-bmw-x5-m-against-audi-q7-tdi-and-lan\/#continued\">watch the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> [Source: Top Gear via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XlqBn9pzETw\">YouTube<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/23\/video-top-gear-pits-bmw-x5-m-against-audi-q7-tdi-and-lan\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>VIDEO: <i>Top Gear<\/i> pits BMW X5 M against Audi Q7 TDI and Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/23\/video-top-gear-pits-bmw-x5-m-against-audi-q7-tdi-and-lan\/\">VIDEO: <i>Top Gear<\/i> pits BMW X5 M against Audi Q7 TDI and Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:30:00 EST.
