Ok.  Car and motorcycle guys should all watch Monster Garage on Discovery channel every Monday.
If you do, you know that they have a $3,000 budget.  And then they have to buy the vehicle.  And if they win, 5 people get a $3,800 set of tools.  That's $22,000 in tools and budget every week, plus the vehicle.
Then, Jessie James... the really famous guy that makes badass bikes has to get paid.  I doubt that he'd work for a solid week only to get some tools, when he can make 1/3 of a $100,000 bike in a week.
So.  What gets done with the creations?  I think they should sell them on Ebay.  But anyway, I personally think that Monster Garage is the best show on TV right now.  What does everyone else think?

I love that show! &nbsp;I think they take the cars to shows and things because I doubt that they would legally let you drive a car on the road that can do some of the things they can do but that would be cool.

I'll tell you what the pay Jesse "the maltese cross" James. &nbsp;the gift of nationwide advertising in the form of the shows that he is on or related to( monster garage, motorcyle mania, west coast choppers, etc. ) &nbsp;He must be raking in killer bucks with the exposure that the discovery channel gives him. &nbsp;Every poser 40 year old chopper wannabe probably wants to order a bike from him so there kids got crap to whine about to the other rich peoples kids. &nbsp;I've never even seen him in any of the mag's anyway, of course I wasn't looking to hard.

C'mon folks, it's all about the exposure. &nbsp; James has got to be raking it in, wating list and all. &nbsp; Has to be. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Yeah, i have to agree, one of my more favorite shows on tv right now...besides the usual leno, conan o'brien. &nbsp;I have to agree with S1LVIA, that porsche episode with the golf ball cannon was great...as was the delivery truck with the treb....golden...
