I can hardly remember Speed, but I think Velocity has a lot of good shows if you like to see car restoration, builds, has several of the auctions. Many reruns, but a lot of new stuff too. One of my favorite channels. Really like Bitch'n Rides, it's done in Salt Lake City and the characters are fun. Still has Over Hauling too. A lot of shows where the are looking for old muscle cars and building them up with current motors, suspension, etc.

Barrett-Jackson is one of those things every car guy (and gal) should experience in person at least once! I had watched it for years on Speed/Velocity/Discovery channels and last year, my wife and I attended the Scottsdale auction for the first time. I wasn't sure she would enjoy it that much as she isn't the car enthusiast that I am, but she totally loved it and wants to go back! TV does not do justice to the spectacle Barrett-Jackson is. You need to experience it in person- we have plans to go back next year!

We attended our first BJ/Scottsdale about six years back. It was amazing and tiring at the same time. So many cars and such a huge location. Plus you can visit the several other auctions that also set up during the same week. And Scottsdale is a fun and beautiful location.
We went to BJ in Vegas in September, again a great show but very different as it is all inside the huge Mandalay Bay Convention center. Too much walking on concrete
