New Show on Speed - Payback

Did anyone catch the new show on Speed called "Payback" that aired a few nights ago? I missed the first few minutes of the show, but from what I gathered, the format is that each week they will have some sort of celebrity on the show who will customize a car for one of their friends and give it to them as a gift to "pay them back" .

Anyways, the first show focused on Jay Leno! Jay decided he needed to pay back his friend, the owner of the comedy club where Jay got his start. Anyways, Jay decided to customize a brand new Corvette, and boy, Jay certainly has a good taste in cars because it was probably one of the best looking corvettes I've seen in a long time

. The show should be re-airing sometime this weekend, so set your TIVO. The show is actually pretty cool!

Oh... and why does this have to do with "MINI Talk" well...if you watch it, keep an eye out for the MCS PW/B in the last few minutes of the show. It drives by as Jay is showing the corvette to his shocked friend.

PAYBACK features A-List celebrities thanking individuals who have played a meaningful role in their lives by giving them a customized automobile. The show plays on Hollywood glamour and the emotional side of the car culture. Each episode will feature an A-List star, someone who helped make an A-List star and a full on customization of some of the hottest cars in the industry. Payback is an upbeat feel-good 1/2 hour that reminds everyone just how human celebrities are.
