I think it was a BMW episode, he talks about how he almost died as a kid and it was only because his dad was driving a pretty quick car that he was able to make it to the hospital in time and they saved him. That shit tore me up like that top gear episode where he drove the porsche or jag or something and it was only because it was so fast and comfortable at those speeds that he had an extra 30 minutes or so to see and talk to his dad and the food he brought for his mom was still warm.
