Interesting survey from Speed

I received an email from Speed TV, asking me to take the following survey. The questions are both interesting and odd. I wonder what they're up to.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3HVGYHC

question 21 got: www.grmotorsports.com

Is it bad that I used every available opportunity to say I was a huge WRC, club racing, and Touring Car / SWC fan, and to downplay NASCAR?

For question 5, I'm an ASE tech, but I'm not certified by American Sunroof Corporation (ASC)

How could that be a bad thing?

In reply to Duke:

If so, you're not the only person who did so

I did the same thing...

See, the problem is SPEED sent this out to people on the SPEED mailing list. That's not a very fair, accurate, or unbiased sample group. I'm afraid that even though some of us are not NASCAR fans, the majority of the people taking this survey (if they can read, ZING!) probably are huge NASCAR fans so the results are likely to just confirm that their programming is accurate.

...but I did my part!

Looks like Barass Jackoff is going live on Speed maybe? QVC for auto auctions?

BWAHWHAHWHHWWAAA. I've got a new term for that drivel. Thanks, dude.

Haha, suckers. Time warner put speed in a package with the stick and ball sports channels. I don't have to watch nascar anymore unless I want to pay like $15/month!

In reply to skruffy:

Haha, sucker! You have TW!

I'd probably have basic cable if someone serviced where I live.

I'm doing my part to grassrootsrush the survey

We should spread this to the other "serious" car forums (corner-carvers, SCCA forums...)

Good idea. OR: even sending it to 4chan would be an improvement over the crap they show now.

You want 4 million votes in two days? Convince them to do it.

Is it not just a marketing survey with the Speed name on it, to determine if anybody would use the proposed car selling services, how much they'd pay, and to whom they would advertise it?

My guess is that SPEED (or another network with automotive themed content..) is considering a new show for "this market". They would probably love to tie the show in with a sponsor, say one who offers inspection and advisory service to auction customers?

Thanks to all who mention our site and our magazine on the survey!

Hey, anyone else getting a blank page after submitting?

Time Warner is worse than Comcast? Not possible. Does not compute.

Yes probably. Copart has been asking for people interested in being on a TV show involving bidding on cars for the last couple of months.

And people wonder why I don't watch TV...
