1998 Ford Crown Victoria / Donut Shop

This mostly all-cop team converted a squad car into a mobile doughnut shop complete with coffee maker and pastry display case. The most inspired build yet? Or a misguided (if not defamatory) one? "It would be cool not to have to leave your cruiser to have a doughnut and a cup of coffee," said one wide-eyed visiting Long Beach officer. "But it's still wrong."

It was amazing that they were able to fit eveything they needed into the car. The two old guys were funny

"Perfect"

By JohnPytlovany, Oct 04, 2009

The show was great. I wanted Jesse to drive the car to a county fair and pull next to their donut maker wagons and totally blow them out of the water. The stolen car caper was a little lame.
The car was set up so Jesse could drive in hit the switches to raise the roof and open both doors. He then could start the generator and power up the donut machine and conveyer belt. The donuts would come down the belt and go through a glaze waterfall. Heck there was even sprinkles. There was also a display case if you made too many.moreless

NOTES (5)
ADD NOTES
- In the credits roll, the actor playing the giant squirrel (as seen in the Nut Shaker build and Under the Hood) is unmasked.
  EDIT SHARE
- On the second day, the crew went to a shooting range for target practice. Jesse showed up late but was forgiven when he showed them his toys: A custom made Smith & Wesson .38 snub nose 5-shot revolver and a Desert Eagle.
  EDIT SHARE
- The cops in the re-enactment refer to last week's episode of the Pontoon/Shark Boat.
  EDIT SHARE
- Instead of Big Schwag doing his usual voice-over during the 7th day, he acts out the role of a salesman selling the monster garage cars resulting in him being arrested by the Donut Shop Cop Car.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sadly, this was the last episode of Monster Garage that was filmed in the infamous garage. The Figure 8 Car, which follows this one, was filmed before, but aired later. To celebrate their last show, they trash the place (resulting in one ruined camera).
