I watched on TiVO and turned it into a 15 minute show. The only reason I kept watching was to see Jimmy Shine (one of the judges) at the end. I really enjoyed his show he had a while back with people working at So Cal speed shop. (I think the premise was to get a job there.) Too bad he attached himself to this turd.

I am in agreement with everyone else, deadline shows suck!

We can only hope that this show teaches the producers how NOT to make a successful show. Maybe one day they will get it right. 72 hours is stupid, anyone with an ounce of sense knows that will only get you a piece of crap. The whole thing was mixed up, confusing junk.

Who were those "stars"?

Who knows, maybe we're not the target anyways, right? We all spend time working on our projects, not in front of the boob tube anyways....

It is nice to see Speed focusing on cars and builds nonetheless. Hopefully it will lead the way to more good car TV. Drama and sex do sell.....regardless, many of us stick to our laurels and do it the old fashioned way: with quality craftsmanship, ingenuity and good 'ol fashioned customer service.

Whether you love it or hate it, be sure to tune in for episode #7 on April 6th!
Though the show is sketchy, I will certainly be tuning in to see you guys dominate the "pros". Gotta support the local boys!

I really enjoyed the tv show Rides. It wasn't about deadlines either. Almost a "how it's made" type of show for car guys. Bring that back or something like it?

I have the show recorded, but after hearing these reviews, I'll delete it.

Rides was the best. I also like Dream Car Garage, but speed dropped that.

Every car TV show on now sucks.
