I just tried to set the DVR. We get to see somebody named Tarek & Christina flip a house...

I get the impression the Ultimate Garage is MJ's stepping stone to his own show. I'm curious what the network has planned for him and his siblings Sherry and Amanda...
Brand power.

Sooo........ What did you think of the garage?
I was disappointed; too small, no decent work area, no bathroom(s) and really needed natural gas, in-floor heating and 3-phase power.

I missed it as well. How was the show? His 15 minutes is definitely not over. He's had 3 different shows that I know of and is involved in branding damn near everything. He apparently even owns the tv cameras and production company that makes his show, and sells the show to hgtv rather than hgtv hiring him as a host. He can certainly be a bit abrasive, but he seems to be a smart businessman and I'm told is a very good and considerate boss to work for.

My new favourite show!!!
ALTHOUGH All SALIENT POINTS, THE GARAGE WAS STILL STUNNING! Besides, it was destined more for a party/show piece as he's not a mechanic, only owns a new Boss Mustang and a side by side, the place is all landscaped - oh ya - and he works 16 hurs a day in his production role!
Damn straight!!!
I disagree - more like 99%
A one heck of a father.

Any of is would be happy to own this garage, but realistically it's just a showcase for the newest technology he could find.
Being off the grid is awesome but for most of us it wouldn't be cost effective, the generator would be running whenever I was in there, taxing the batteries with an air compressor isn't a good idea.

More info on him...if you are a fan.

And, the shows were what I expected as he freely admits he doesn't do any of the car work. Nice garage though, to sit around and drink beer in.
It is no big secret where it is....if you have ever done the "Forks of the Credit" tour, you might have driven past it.

I think it's because he is brutally honest with people, he doesn't sugar coat anything yet he isn't a complete **** about stuff, he knows how to use tact when talking about cetain things.
I think he's a guy that most people would be happy to run into, sit down, have a drink and BS with for the evening in their garage, kinda like Mike Rowe.
