Did anyone else happen to just watch High-Rev Tuners? I usually don't have much time to watch it and it can get annoying with the way the hosts always seem like they're being told what to say and the way it always seems to lean alittle toward Hondas. But anyway : ) I gained some respect for the show tonight. The trivia question was: "What was the Nissan 240SX called in it's native country of Japan?". I dunno if it was a reply or not cuz I don't get to see it that often but I thought that was damn awsome.

Heh, anyway. Sorry just felt like being a message whore :D

What respect do they deserve to gain from asking a stupid question like that? There are dozens of cars that have different names in Japan, they just picked the most obvious one, whoopdy doo. I hate that show, Pepboys SUCKS for sponsoring it, and they suck for devoting two aisles to riceboy crap in their stores. Speed Channel sucks for putting on a show like that. Speedvision would have never done something like that, I'd rather watch boat racing.

lol I see your point. the constan apc commercials are sickening. I just watch it because it's better then NASCAR Classics and even if the hosts are ignorant and are only there to make the show look pretty, atleast I can get a look at cars that I don't get the chance to see to often living in the middle of no where (even if they are 90% honda *shudders*)Anyway, the point I was trying to make was atleast they posted a question about a nissan and not another gay honday or acura question.

However I do see your point and I agree. The only true meaning of that show is to futher apc's demonic grip on the import circut.

My gf and I watch that show to get a good laugh, we usually get sick though:( . The only things the speed channel shows that are worth watching are the FIA WRC, F1, and the occasional 24 hours at le mans. Though about a week ago I saw one of the Classic (domestic) car restoration shows feature a guy driving an R33 Skyline and talking about how much better it was than anything on the road for equivalent prices.

lol I think it's hilarous the way the guy talks. I mean it's obvious he has no idea what he's talking about.

"and here we see how he accented the car with a...big set of wheels"LMAO!

My friends and I just yell at the TV and curse the people hosting, we all just get really angry really quickly, and end up changing the channel and cursing the fact that they don't run shows like the SCCA runoffs and crap like that.

Speed also airs American Le Mans, I also like watching their touring car and GT series, the Trans Am series, and for a while they were running British Touring car which was awesome.

I think I'd wet my pants though if Speed could simply air Japanese Touring cars, I'd be in my glory.
