Wonder what an SVX challenge would look like with an expenditure of $3000 and a week of work.
I caught the garbage truck / fire fighter episodes on Sunday night. Cool show, and I like the hour-long format that lets them focus on detail instead of rushing through it all.

It's edited poorly, though. They try to build suspense with that loud, deep voice asking, 'will this setback finish the team and cause them to fail?' And then in the next shot they interview a guy on the team - in front of the completed car. Yeah, a minor mistake, but the show is rife with stuff like that.

I dig it. Looks expensive to produce, but I hope that more of them get filmed.
