- Bullshit.
2.25 Million dollar time slot for 30 seconds during the superbowl.

Production costs for commercials have been trending upwards.
Infact...
The survey found the average cost to edit and finish an original thirty rose 26 percent, from $34,000 in 1998 to $43,000 in 1999.
Sound recording and mixing costs increased 23 percent, as opposed to a 2 percent drop in 1998. Video finishing also increased, up 25 percent from 1998, and music costs posted a 35 percent increase according to the 1999 study.
Creative/labor fees showed a 25 percent increase, a marked rise when compared to the 5 percent increase reported in 1998. Among the costs associated with the creative/labor fee, an editor?s mark-up, which reflected no change in 1998, increased 31 percent in 1999.
No Production Company does work without payment/financed payment before hand.

OC Chopper makes the bikes with payment at the completion of the job and in some cases it can be financed.

- Bullshit. "Financed" is partial payment down and "Can Be" is not an option "IS", is the word. Custom bikes cost between 80K to 150K. Each bike is custom ordered by clients not premade and shown on the floor. But since this is actually a "Reality" series ya can bet the costs are very different with cross promotional values during production. For example The Irobot Bike made for Will Smith.
