And how can you call a show Pinks when you no longer race for the pink slip, just money and a toolbox full of NAPA ****? that's why I liked the old show, cause of puting oyur car up for grabs ( thought I believe they had a system where you could get your vehicle back with a predetermined amount of money if you wanted to)

My ability to watch SPEED anymore is almost nadda, except for watching at 3am when a F1 race on the eastbumble**** circuit thats on the other side of the world, or GT1 highlights on Wednesdays ( GO MATECH GT40!!!) and of course, the 24 Le Mans ( woot!)

Now when I turn it on, it's either monster trucks, Pinks all out, or some two dudes showing how to install a supercharger in a 30 minute span. and during racing season, NASCAR, Pinks all out,our two guys showing you how to do a body off restoration in 15 minutes, filling the other 15 minutes with infomercial style selling.

What happened to WRC highlights, DTM highlights, tuner challanger, etc. I miss them not having rights to show ANY NASCAR stuffo n there, made plenty of room for relevent racing series.... SPEED is dead, long live the original SPEED.
That's a whole other headache. I remember when SPEED was Speedvision and they had shows like American Muscle Car, Dream Car Garage, vintage race coverage, and stuff like that. It was quality programming. Not all to my tastes (I'm not a motorcycle guy) but still new. I am sick of hearing about the aerodynamics of Jimmie Johnson's eyebrows and NASCAR drivel. I am also tired of both types of PINKS shows (although I do still enjoy the vid of Rich C dumping that GSX-R. Hey Rich, Would you admit that you were outperformed by this motorcycle?). Barrett-Jackson is also hit or miss. After a while it gets old. I think they need to do some market research to figure out their programming needs.
