Streetracing show on A&E

There is some show on A&E right now about streetracing in T.O. I think it's a few year's old, but I've never seen it. It's focusing on 2 guys who are supposed to be the "fastest" in T.O. "Mike" who drives a Civic and "Rob" who has a Mazda 323 and an RX7. The guy with the Civic seems pretty laid-back, but the Mazda guy has got the biggest mouth. Are these guys for real? I can't believe people actually spend their nights driving around looking for streetracing.

It was on 3 or 4 years ago.

I remember it, it's this one big fat dude in a miata racing people.

I think they had a clip of people getting tickets while leaving a car show, too.

The media came to such conclusion because

1) people generalizing
2) people believe in rumours
3) people being objective

A driver who drives fast on the street will speed even if he was in a 30 year old Tercel.

that show is about 5 years old
if you go to www.aande.com and search need for speed you can buy the tape

its about mike palijan who was pretty much a pioneer in the whole honda thing around here and was the first to break into 11's and 10's (he no longer competes) and some loser dude with a 15 second mx-6 who was trying to find mike p at the races somewhere to take away his "Crown"
