Jesse James, Monster GarageTsk, tsk, what does Sandra Bullock think of all of this? Jesse James (who is Bullock’s husband) was fined $271,250 by the state of California for failing to meet emissions standards. James is the former star of Monster Garage, a show on the Discover Channel that challenged a team to build a “monster machine” out of a vehicle. James is also the owner of West Coast Chopper, which builds custom motorcycles for many celebrities. The California Air Resources Board fined James based on 50 custom-built motorcycles that James sold between 1998 and 2005. The board maintains that the cycles “did not have state certified emissions equipment on their exhaust and fuel systems.” As a result, “bikes were spewing hydrocarbons at up to 10 times the state limits,” according to Paul Jacobs, chief of the board’s Mobile Sources Enforcement branch. Monster Garage ended after five seasons in June 2006.
