Spotted! The 'Top Gear' Gang is Road Tripping from Vegas to Mexico

The Top Gear guys are back in the U.S. for another epic road trip that has already taken them from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

The often surprise destinations test the cars, the wills and even the health of the men and the BBC camera crew, but there are five must-watch specials with the most drama and awesomest scenery. Without further ado, we give you (with video clips)...
