Who watched this today? Jesse James vs. The Zamboni...

Cool enough premise, and they made a pretty good Zamboni. But what about the budget? It's a joke!!!!

F'rinstance: $1250 for an ice blade, $800+ for a steering box, there goes 2/3 of the budget. Suddenly, there's expensive stuff that's inexplicably FREE! 20" wheels and tires(!), air bag suspension, killer paint job, etc. How convenient, saves the budget.

And then, Jesse James seems to be something of a prick. He's not the best choice for the show, IMO.

In the end, I'd be surprised if the show sees a third season. I think these sort of shows are kinda burning out.

For the most part, he got the rims free but had to pay $$$ to get the tires that fit.

Useless IMHO. The object is to get a specfic job done, not to tool around in a pimpmobile.

Some of these junk yard wars spin-off's are just bad.

However that show is good execpt why do they need to rice it out, why in zeuses buthole did they get Jesse James to do it, and WTF is with the free stuff.
