Most people first got to know Danny Koker, also known as “The Count,” during his time on Pawn Stars. He was such a hit among fans that he earned his own The History Channel show in the form of Counting Cars. This allows viewers to take a peek at Count’s Kustoms as he purchases and fixes up rare cars for a profit. It is a reality TV show, so some parts of it are staged. Among other things, the “random” buys are not really as spontaneous as he lets on! But what else about it is fake?

They Always Have The Right Parts Available

It is pretty common to see custom parts on-side in car shows like this one. But the truth is that the Counting Cars crew does not have each part on hand at all times. In fact, the show uses these rare parts even though it normally takes days and even weeks to obtain them. It does not sound possible that they are always available right when they need them. Of course, viewers do not want to wait a long time for that. This is why they rely on the editors to make the process look this smooth!

They Are Trying To Follow A Budget

On the show, Danny Koker earned a reputation for being strict with money. He is willing to fight over prices and even walk away if necessary. Even so, he likes to spend a lot of cash on wild and complicated restorations. This has made people wonder whether he considers money as big of a deal as he makes it out to be. The truth is that he does not need to run on a budget because the show pays for everything.
