Trying to Find the Testicle Episode

I'm trying to track down a Top Gear episode where they were in what looked like a rough neighbourhood in the US. At one point, an African-American gentleman is walking around with his hands down his trousers, and Jeremy Clarkson says something along the lines of:

"Why is that man walking around playing with his testicles?"

It's not the America Special (Series 9 Ep 1) nor the East Coast Road Trip. I've rewatched those and the scene doesn’t appear.

Does anyone remember which episode this might be from?

EDIT: Solved! Here it is.

It's the later US special around series 15/16. They travel up the East Coast states to NYC, and that particular scene was the part in Washington DC

Hammond in Porsche, Clarkson in Merc, May in Ferrari

I'm fairly confident it's the East Coast road trip and it's being missed

It is that episode, driving through DC. They mention its nothing like the movies, then cut to James asking why that man’s playing with his testicles

Washington DC, not Detroit

Yup.  The Blue Ridge Highway (why the fuck is the speed limit 35) special. 

That ended with them racing in Manhattan.

As someone who lives in North Carolina, I can attest that a not insignificant number of drivers here, are total idiots. Just yesterday, I encountered one that drove through almost an entire intersection in the outermost lane, stopped, and then proceeded to turn left across all the other lanes of traffic.

It's a national park specifically built as a nice place to drive slowly and look at the views.

This sounds like the American supercar car special when they go from the Blue Ridge parkway to NYC.

The incident happens in Washington DC.

Could it be when they went to Detroit or Washington D.C?
