I agree.....it doesnt have the pull on me that it did before. The cars are just not doing it for me.

Still its better than a LifeTime or a "made for tv movie" on Oxygen networks. Yeah, that shit is on at my house all the time. I would rather go play tea party with my dog and two cats.

DVR + 2x fast forward = win.

what I dont like about them is they always go to commercial on the car I want to see, yeah, great, '69 COPO Camaros are cool and '70 LS6 Chevelles are awesome but dont go to commercial when theres a 99 Collectors edition T/A about to roll on the block

The Mecham auctions are better, imo.

Because 99.999% of the automotive world couldnt care less about our F-bodies.

well irrigardless, SPEED used to be one of my favorite channels, mostly because of the power block, which is now gone to Spike. the only somewhat decent shows left are two guys garage and other technical shows like that, My Classic Car and Hotrod TV are also entertaining, but all of them are only on either late at night or in the middle of the day.

Car science had SO much potential to easily be my favorite show on TV ever, but it was crap from the first episode, little science involved at all, more focused on being entertaining than presenting real data

Car Show is Okay, obviously a response to Top gear, got shortened from an hour to 30 minutes because it was rightfully under rated. I cant stand Adam Corrola.

Battle of the Supercars was pretty scripted and very biased.

my ride rules belongs on MTV, entirely scripted, apples to oranges comparisons. worst show of them all.

note that most of these crap shows are newish, and the better ones have been around for a few years.

I use to plan time around them too. Did fantasy bids. But, haven't even watch the last few. Somehow, it's just not as fun as it used to be
