on the block you go to a commercial. Why is this? If it was a damn
Camaro or Corvette you would skip the commercial till that Chevy left
the block. Looks like I have wasted enough time watching your auctions.
Being a Pontiac collector I know to avoid your Chevy lovers auctions
when I'm looking for my next collector car.
Here the the lame reply they sent back

I'm with the rest of you with being frustrated about what is being covered on the B-J auctions. Definitely catering to the Chevy crowd (and to a lesser degree, the Mustang crowd) at this point.
Not necessarily jumping in to defend B-J, but the message above seems ill-directed. It's Speed that should be getting the heat. B-J doesn't control the coverage and what makes it tv, Speed does. Then again, I've alway found Speed TV coverage to pretty much suck in general. There are better car programs on Discovery, Learning Channel, and BBC television.
Should probably add, I don't really care one way or the other about the relative bidding (or lack thereof) on the GTOs.... I just want to see them covered as well as the other pieces at the auction. I'd really prefer they just run the auction straight with no commercials.
