After 80+ episodes Jesse James is calling it quits on Monster Garage. :(

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

He seemed like an OK guy when the series started....but turned into a real egotistical arse.......fame and $ changed him.

I hear ya brudder, he is hardly even on the shows anymore. It seems like he just stops by for a few minuted to see what is up, and leaves. Ooops, I forgot he does the exhaust and then leaves. I know what it is, it's all Sandra Bullock's (His wife) fault, she must have her own Monster Garage that he likes parking in these days. ;)

alot of the fans on the discovery forums are major dicks towards whatever Jesse does, i dont think i would want to do the show either if i had to put up with those people. people are always saying they will never watch the show again because he "ruined" a perfectly good *insert classic car here*
heres some posts from the man himself:


.......OK I'M CONFUSED??......I WAS SICK ALL WEEK WITH THE FLU..........JUST HAD SIX SCREWS PUT IN MY FOOT THE WEEK BEFORE ....AND WAS ON CRUTCHES.....AND I "WAS" THERE WORKING BUILDING A WHOLE NEW ROLL CAGE MYSELF.....AND AT 11:45PM ON FRIDAY WHILE THEY WERE TRYIN TO "CHEER" THE CAR INTO STARTING I WAS MAKING A CLUTCH PEDAL EVEN THOUGH I NEW IT WOULD NEVER GET USED..BUT I DONT HAVE "HEART"???..I KNOW I'M NOT ON CAMERA 24/7 ON SOME OF THESE BUILDS BUT I DO WORK MY A ** OFF ON ALL OF THEM AND SOMETIMES ITS MORE INTERESTING TV TO SHOW THE RETARDS ACTING STUPID THAN IT IS SHOWING ME WELDING ALL DAY...SO SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME......IF HAVING "HEART" IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT I ALREADY DO??....I DONT WANT IT...

and some more:

...WELL ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I POKED MY HEAD OUT....FIGURE I BETTER LET YOU KNNOW WHATS GOIN' ON IN MY WORLD.......WE ARE ALMOST HALF WAY THROUGH MY FINAL SEASON OF MONSTER GARAGE....IM STILL BUSTIN' MY A S S TRYING TO MAKE EVERY BUILD THE BEST ONE EVER.....ITS PRETTY AMAZING HOW MANY TALENTED PEOPLE THERE ARE IN THIS COUNTRY...(AND A FEW KNUCKLEHEADS)......NOT SURE HOW I WILL FEEL WHEN ITS ALL DONE?...I THINK IT WILL HIT ME SOON....BUT I KNOW THERE IS BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS ON THE HORIZON....SO I'M PRETTY SURE MONSTER GARAGE IS NEVER GOING TO BE THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW ON TV...BUT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WATCH IT? IM GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK AS HARD AS POSSIBLE...AND TRY TO TEACH PEOPLE NEW THINGS...AND NOT TAKE ANY B.S. FROM ANYONE FROM START TILL THE SHOW IS FINISHED!!...jesse.

sorry for the caps, but thats just how he types, someone even posted "Wonder why he always types in caps...."
his response "BECAUSE I'M YELLING GAWD DAMM IT!!" :rofl:

it was a great show while it lasted, even if they get another host it wont be the same.

The sole reason I went to the MG forum was to post about them smashing that Anglia on tonight's show, but wound up finding out about his leaving. That was a steel body that is ultra rare these day, not some fiberglass repo. IMO it's ok to destroy some of those failures, but to do what they did to THAT car was stupid. :down:

:wave: bye bye JJ aka dick head

sorry, never liked him after his first few shows

GG Discovery :thumbs:

I ASSumed those bodies were really expensive to get since they were from 1947-1948, but here is one on eBay for less than $4000.

Here's a few already fixed up like they were doing on MG.

haha ya, that anglia was pretty mint but if someone cared about it that much they wouldnt have sold it knowing that it was going to get chopped up.
they payed like $15,000 for it so they could do whatever they want to it, i think it was a bad idea dropping a giant steel beam on it but those are the rules.
