My father-in-law brings this up to me all the time. He's still mad about this change.
He's also mad about the Illinois tollways that were supposed to be eventually paid off and they would stop collecting tolls.......

And you'll be saddled with another half-an-hour of extended coverage of the Belgian NASCAR Under-2-Liter Series for Brunette Women, where all the talk will be about how talented Danica Patrick is, despite that when she raced in the series for four years SHE NEVER WON A RACE.
Wait so if I stop watching CCC I will get more girls in fire suits? I Sign me up!!! LOL

Nope, it's because the "value" of media is starting to become more in line with what it is worth... IMO. Especially when the average person without the bazillion dollar budget can produce a quality piece of work. True "art" and "entertainment".
Face it, "CAR SHOWS" dont cater to hard core gear heads; they cant. Its too narrow a market. A lot of shows start off with the best of intentions. look at the original Shade Tree Garage with Sam and Dave; it was an informative show catering to the do-it yourself type guy, but it caved in to the cost of production. Chop Cut Rebuild fell into the same boat, as did Stacey David. Hell I would live to be in Staceys shoes having to figure out which crate engine and kit car package to push in this weeks episode while I assemble in the euber-shop. Auto-Geek has progressed from a small shop to a good size empire, Mike Phillips is THE MAN in detailing, I am glad they have the coin to foot an info-mercial.
