[SCOTI]

I don't want to pick on a "brand" but similar TV shows used to use Monster units that have many numerous complaints from 'regular joes' like us on these forums.

Celebrity status can come to those that fit within the productions budget even when better products are available. I also know of more than one 'builder' who uses their status to request free parts, get moved to the front of the line, require deep discounts etc or they'll move on to the next place that will meet their req's. Suspensions, engines, transmissions..... I'll take the gearheads like me first hand opinion over a magazine article or tv show episode product placement advertising any day. I trust those in the trenches w/me more.
