I have to agree on the NASCAR content on Speed - there's way TOO much of it! In spite of the NASCAR overdoes, I still tune in try to catch motorcycle racing, drag racing, and SCCA racing.

I wouldn't recommend that. It is the most cheesy bizzare movie I ever saw...and you don't get to see much of the car. I believe they did that on purpose because it had a 70 front clip, a 71-72 rear bumper, SS markings (with a Malibu dash). I think it just made me mad. If you are really twisted, you might like the parts in the movie where the "car gang" worships an engine by placing it in the middle of a pentagram, stripping down to their underwear and workboots, and marching around it. Personally, I had to fast-forward through the parts where they rubbed motor oil over each other. As far as Speed TV. I agree. I don't even watch it anymore and usually tune into the Horsepower Block on Spike TV.
