I personally haven't watched the Show for years since they got the "Big Head" syndrome...........I knew someone that worked at Snap-On, and after they did the Bike for Snap-on and the series went into re-runs.....Paul Sr called Snap-on and wanted $50,000 from them because of the Snap-on Toolboxes and Banners in the Background and he felt that even though Snap-On donated all those Tools to them originally....he felt that was in the past and he should be Paid for the Free advertising.....they told him they weren't going to pay and he threw a "Temper Tantrum".......Well, on the next set of Episodes that were filmed they showed "Mikey" trying to drill something with a Snap-On Electric Drill and in Perfect Mikey form ....he didn't know what he was doing and said that the Snap-On Drill was a Piece of Junk..........Kindergarden Stuff....But it was Paul Sr's way of getting back at Snap-On for not throwing Gold at his Feet..........What a "Jerk".....and that go's for the rest of the Family too........

But.....I guess they accomplished the American Dream....Fame and Fortune......Hard to deal with, I guess, especially without Formal Education and Big Business Skills....I guess it is hard to Adjust and keep everything in "Perspective" when everyone Kisses your A$$ continually....I also heard that we know someone was bidding on a Muscle Car that Paul Sr also wanted.....didn't go well and got personal(This is before Ebay protected Bidder I.D.'s...........
Just my $.02
