I thought I would rant on here for a few minutes since I am bored and was hoping to veg out watching TV. Since I am basically obsessed with cars I can veg out watching the dumbest and most terrible quality programs. Why doesn’t Speed TV have anything anywhere close to this level? The bar could not be lower. I can honestly watch West Coast Customs on Discovery HD while only being mildly offensive since its a program which has something to do automotive tuning. I can watch Powerblock on spike despite the terrible hosts and narrow minded mods (civic with front mount intake) I can watch it because I’m not that picky, I just want to see some wrenches turning. Now Speed is supposed to be the channel for me, at least you would think. So why can I never, ever, find a show that I can sit through without turning off the TV? Unique whips is complete shit. Nascar is insulting to my intellegence and technology in general. Pinks… WTF, I would rather watch reruns of CSI Barret Jackson is the same shit over and over and over again, with terrible hosts Pass time, that guy needs to off himself Two guys garage, Where did they find these people from? The only two shows with potential of me watching an entire 30 minute show are: Gearz (why did they have to add that Z? stupid fucks) and cut chop rebuild, at least they get the super annoying host to follow around peope who know what the fuck they’re doing. /rant ---

Unique Whips is no better than Pimp My Ride to me… Constant Nascar coverage…could TOTALLY do without. Every build show is one that has been re-run 15X I personally like Pinks and Pass Time, something to watch that actually has some cars in em. Every once in awhile they have a 1/2hr Drift show which is pretty cool. Thats about it lol… ---

You got to catch their niche hour show. I managed to DVR their 08 DTM review and the Porsche Cup highlights. I second the Speed touring coverage, bascially I will watch anything with 4 wheels on a circuit. ---

No DTM full races and no BTCC at all = no care. BTW, if anyone wants some down and dirty grassroots club racing videos, the NASA championship videos are up at [www.drivenasa.com](http://www.drivenasa.com). ---

A-fucking-men to that brotha. That and total drop of WRC. Dick ass redneck sponsor ship is what owns Speed. Only reason I even have that channel is because I watch Fuel and it’s parts of the same package deal. ---

I occasionally watch Pass Time and its not bad. Me and my father like to guess the times and see how close we are. I havent watched Pinks in a while. Track racing is just as boring as watching sports. ---

Only reason I even have that channel is because I watch Fuel and it’s parts of the same package deal. Well, BT is faster. Usually by Sunday night all 3 days will be available. WTCC is easy, you can watch it live or all previous races right on their [site](http://www.fiawtcc.com/), but DTM no one even will seed it to begin with. ---

I like speed for one reason, since rarely is it worth watching anymore, anytime I have a good find, its like an unexpected Christmas. Was happy to find some bitch ass road race at 3 am last week. Other than some of that shit and some scca random stuff, it feels like going to speed for a quality programing is like going to Mtv for videos. ---
