** In fact one of the problems the shop has is that Danny often refuses to let a project go out the door ''until'' he considers it sufficiently cool. He's such a perfectionist with his love of vehicles that between making something look better and keeping a good profit margin, the profit margin is such a distant second it doesn't even see coolness finish the race.
