I agree with everything you said, but especially about Chris Jacobs. He's an idiot and not a car guy at all.

On the early episodes of Overhaulin' he used to do those stupid pranks where they would pretend to "steal" the cars they were going to work on.

He tried to prank one car owner by putting Chip Foose in trunk of the car when they "recovered" the car. The car owner was a cop and when they opened the trunk and Chip popped out he pulled his gun out and aimed it at Chip. Chip almost got shot! Must have scared the $..t out of Foose.
