I was glad those idiots were kicked off on the first show.

The run will wind up in Miami - it should be interesting. I'd do this in a heartbeat if it weren't so expensive.

What is with Speed these days? Am I the only one who finds "racing" at the speed limit and driving through fluorescent bulbs completely uninteresting?

I have been looking forward to seeing the show for months, but couldn't have been more disappointed. Completely diferent that I expected. The host is a joke. Porsche wasn't represented well AT ALL(drivers or car). Can't believe the car broke down! I thought they said the car was supercharged, but then they listed the HP at 320. Guess we'll have to cheer for the VW bus with the Porsche engine in it.

They said the Corvette 0-60 time is 10.6. What?! Also, why do they have a Lexus IS250 with two foul-mouthed teenagers in the mix? The Solstice is listed at 440bhp with no mods. 0-60 of 3.8 sec? I was just sitting there watching in a state of disappointed awe the entire time. Clearly not a show for car enthusiasts. I'm shocked that SPEED picked it up.

With that said, my money's on the cute Russian chick in the F360

I don't see why Speed can't do more decent shows. One man can only take so much Pinks and Pimp My Whip or whatever the hell it's called.

Pimp my ride. "Yo dawg we heard you like cars so we put a car in your car so you can drive while you drive!"
