I like the show cause I like watching the rides they have on there... but the bias to hondas (they are the major sponsor) and those two @##$#$$ idiot hosts wanna make me scream, they don't seem to know anything, and between them trying to be funny and hip simultaneously they come off as a couple of dumbasses... I wish they would get out of the way and let the cars do the talking. Any thoughs... Oh and did anyone see the Motor Trend TV with the 426 hemi PT cruiser and the 488 Viper Charger? Sveeeet Shite that was.

And if he acted any 'hipper' I will use that word, I think the black guy he was 'yo yoing' was gonna bitch slap him and laugh his ass of on national television... I should be the host of that show... I would call it the "how to talk cars and not be an idiot show" or something like that.... that guys civic was nice though, the one with the h22 in it.

yeah, if he said &quot;thats cool&quot; one more time I would have bitch slapped him. He had no idea in #### what was going on because all he really said was yeah and cool. I just turned the volume off and looked at the pretty pictures. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

have you guys noticed that half of the car guys they interview seem to not know their shit? i swear i saw one guy talking about how his honda accord wagon had headers (plural) intake exhaust turbo supercharger and a host of other shit like high compression pistons in it. i almost put my hand through the tv screen and bitch slapped his ass. i also think i saw some idiot giving a dissertation on the s2000 and how it should have been an acura and blah blah blah... mean while there was a sweet as #### s14 in the back ground... i wish they had shown that rather than the s2k... honestly they're over played...

I seriosly think that we should start a petition to get the fired. I remember one episode where they passed 2 sweet eclipses (4g63 second best 4 cyl on the planet) and they spent 10 minutes on.... a freaking cadilac SUV... on a sport compact show...

speedvision is cool, but rarely does it accomodate to what most of us on here would like to see.

I have to agree with all of you. &nbsp;The &quot;tall guy&quot; Brian Fox. &nbsp;Man, I just want to hit that guy upside his head. &nbsp;I think he is just trying to hard. &nbsp;I am sure anyone of us could do a better job then that guy.

Don't worry that show will likely be gone when it becomes speedTV and changes to nASScar from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. &nbsp;They claim they will keep the SpeedVision Cup, SCCA Runoffs, BTCC, F1, and WRC coverage...

Actually, I caught that show for the first time last weekend. &nbsp;I *acquantance* (not really know) the guy who runs that mobile dyno. &nbsp;He had the segment taped that explained how it works, etc. and they cut that so they could show a wheel spinning on it w/ that jackass yammering the whole time. &nbsp;That show was like a train wreck... I wanted to look away, but just couldn't!

I'll say just one thing CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP!! &nbsp;Those guys could hate hondas, but they don't have jobs if they don't focus on them in the shows. &nbsp;Sad that even an enthusiasts realm can be dictated by coorporate spending. &nbsp;Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep listening to those idiots talk about slow hondas.
