Q-1: What was the best "overhaul" you've ever done to someone?

So far? Well, just the other day, we overhauled a 1956 Chevy Nomad, so that one was actually the best.

Q-2: So on Overhaulin', you essentially tell someone that their car was stolen. Has anyone ever freaked out on you?

You know, we also tow vehicles away due to supposed parking tickets that they've had or the car was towed because it was sticking out on the sidewalk too much. My very first episode, I was doing pranks on the show. This guy was supposed to pick up his truck and I told him that unless he paid for it that I'm not [going to] give it back, but that's not the agreement that was originally told to him. So this guy got so upset at me. He was screaming to the point where his face was red and he was spitting. So because I told him, "Unless you pay me $1500, you're not gonna get your truck back, and he goes, "No, this is supposed to be a favor and I want my truck back," And he just went off on me.

The casting couch, how she got a job that focuses on cars when she knows nothing about them, and, of course, whether or not she'll ever take it all off for the cameras...
