Has anyone else seen this TV show?

I was searching for something to watch the other night and Speedvision had a show on called "The Import Auto show." I was in shock at what some of the import lovers do to their cars. I live here in a rural part of central PA so I don't see "modified imports" to often. My daughter (16 years old) was watching with me and was helping to point out how ridiculous most of theses cars really are. The best part was the "drag racing" that the show was covering. My daughter's exact words were "It sounds like a weed eater when the string breaks". I think it was on Sunday night around 8 or 9 pm eastern.
You can also find some "import humor" in the latest Car Craft. There is an article called "Us vs. Them: Why Imports Suck". (page 50) Keep in mind, these are their words, not mine.

I feel beauty is in the eye of the beholder...you like a certain thing and other people find something else appealing. Just because it is different doesn't make it bad or wrong. I don't care for the show circuit but I am not going to condemn it or say that is dumb because I don't like it. I don't care for american cars, but I still respect all vehicles......well, most....Kia and Hyundai should be wiped off the map.

Any male person who drives a Kia is a homo. No offense.

I used to watch that show all the time when i was in the states. I actually got a kick out of it. I found it funny for entertainment value plus i would watch so I could be able to learn more about imports. I don't know anything about them. One thing i have learned in the army is to know ur enemy well
