I am still catching up but the Namibia Special was very good I thought. Hope the next episodes continue to pick up

I think they are starting to hit their stride. The Namibia special was pretty good but there are still glimmers of forced/staged "funnies" but I'll take it.

I'm on the most recent episode, which I'll watch tonight most likely.

Yeah, I think they can make due without the Celebrity brain crash section. Don't really see the point in it.

I feel better about ordering electronics through a store vs Amazon/eBay. I'm thinking the people who posted negative reviews might have gotten a fake or something????

Yep, I've been bitten by that before. Just a gamble you'd have to take with Amazon (or any on-line purchase really). Just gotta weigh value vs. convenience.

Yeah, I still use Amazon. At least with a trusted retailer like that you can easily get a refund if you catch and issue early and usually dont even pay return shipping so not that bad

I'll order non large ticket items on Amazon and eBay. But for electronics, I'll usually order at B&H Photo or Adorama.

No, just replace it with a Fiata. I'm surprised, all the reviews I've seen up to now haven't liked it all that much. Guess the Abarth trim just makes it that much better.

Unfortunately, I ended up with the only option with 4 doors, which came dead last...
