Danny, “The Count” Koker, started as the car expert on another reality show, Pawn Stars. Viewers loved him, so The History Channel gave him his very own program—Counting Cars. Watching the show will give you a peek into his Las Vegas garage called Count’s Kustoms, as well as his process of buying, fixing, and flipping rare cars to make a profit. Like many reality TV series, there are aspects of the show that are staged. For example, the “random” car buys aren’t really as spontaneous. So what else is staged about this popular TV show?
The Parts Are On Hand
On car TV shows, it isn’t uncommon to have custom parts available on-site. Counting Cars is not an exception. It does not always have a part on hand, though. Since the show uses rare parts, it can take days or weeks to look for a particular part. However, viewers would get bored if they had to wait weeks for a project to finish, so the show relies on editing magic to make everything appear seamless and quick.

Sticking To A Tight Budget
Since he argues about prices a lot and, if needed, walks away from cars, Danny Koker has become known for being a stickler when it comes to money. Nevertheless, he is also known to cost the company a lot due to his complex and wild restorations. So, is money really important to him or not? It seems as if the latter is correct. You would think that he is keeping to a budget, but he actually is not. The show covers the cost of the restoration or refurbishment of rare cars.
