I too prefer the Showtime crashing mode, mainly because you can trigger it anytime and you need to have soem skill bouncing the car about, and some luck that there are busses coming (some knoweldge of where they park busses up comes in handy too!). I think the main advantage of crash junctions is this - it isn't scripted out !! By that I mean in the crash junctions mode there was always one main correct way of approaching the crash, there was a correct jump to take at the correct speed to hit the junction correctly (e.g. just clip the first bus and bounce off to the left etc.) and it was more about finding that out and letting the script take over, I prefer the level of control over events that Showtime gives me.
p.s. nope, never noticed the boring thing, are you on the same game as me?
I like Showtime (I mean, I should, I played it so much that $100m+ is nothing to me anymore and even got $1.5bn at one point), but I liked old school B2 Crashmode too. Loved it when the busses were flung everywhere when a truck had an epileptic fit. Good days they were.

Crash vs. Showtime
I like em' both the same! They're both addicting, and involve smashing things, so I'm good
