i think the show is ok, i wish that they would actually show more of the fabrication part of the show rather than fight, it gets kinda annoying.
cody i think has one of the best oppturnities anyone could possibly ask for. he is learning about fabrication, and getting paid for it. he is also getting loads of publicity, i am sure that people will come to OCC just to have 'that 15 year old kid' build them a bike. and when the kid decides to go out on his own, which i am sure he will one day, people might already be banging on his door, because they have seen him work, and they know he has been doing it for a long time. lucky kid IMO.
i like monster garage so far the best, it shows a lot of skills for the most part, except i thought the last one was kinda dump so i turned it off early (the one about building the demolation durbey car, i mean really how hard can that be?

)
IMO i think monster house is pretty dumb. it seems like they tryed to get another jesse james in the game, but they couldnt quite do it. the whole thing just dosent seem to be 'up to par' if you know what i mean...
as far as those neon spark plug wires, i think those are pretty cool. i would not put them on my GN however. but one day i want to get a car such as a late 1940's 2 door mercury. (with a chop top of course) i think that would be slick.
