Wow! He's sill alive. I heard that he was shot in the back by Robert Ford, while straightening a crooked painting.

[@mikethemechanic7395]

Met Jessie in the early 00s at a LA party. I just started out as a mechanic. Met jessie and told him I watched his show and loved being an mechanic. Jessie looks at me and said. “ You want a cookie?” I looked at him and walked away. Dick

[@ardyrides834]

As a TV personality, the industry made money off of his shows. I liked seeing his builds. Jesse has some fabrication skills. What gets me is his followers, and the fashion trend Jesse started. You know, the guys wearing the plaid shirts, baggy jeans, and the over sized Ball Cap with the bill curled up, and their ears tucked up under the cap. Fashion is hilarious sometimes.

From all of this i gathered that Jesse has a sex addiction. This is mainly attributed to his constant cheating and his proneness to dating adult film stars.

He isn't a mechanic. I believe he started as a welder. All he really did is make the frames and then add the motor. He didn't build the motor. He didn't work on the motor.

[@SOLDOZER]

Nobody built their motors. What's your point?

[@ebogar42]

@@SOLDOZER My point is a mechanic knows just about everything there is to know about the motor, can take it apart and rebuild it, and knows how to do other things I'm sure Jesse never learned since he started out as a welder and then working with metal by manipulating it and welding up stuff like Gas tanks for motorcycles. Why not call him what he is? A metal fabricator. As a welder myself, I wouldn't want to be called a mechanic.

[@matthewsmith2362]

I get cha, I call myself a fabricator, I can definitely turn wrenches but I don’t make a living opening up engines. Just cuz you put a lift kit on yer Toyota don’t make you a mechanic. I take one look at a guys torque wrench and know if he’s a mechanic or not

The dumb Hillbilly fell into a pot of gold when he duped and married such a BEAUTIFUL lady, who also was a top shelf actress. Then the Hillbilly mentality comes out when he cheats on her with a family inbreed swamp bayou relative. The bar fly he now is with has an odometer that broke after 856 thousand miles. She burns oil, leaks coolant, and has bald tires. Jesse had the world by the balls. Now he just holds his limp dick in his hands like a homeless beggar at the local road intersection holding a cardboard pity sign. What a lump of s**t Jesse turned out to be.
