I always try to remember that this is a TV show, and most of us really don't know these guys. But solely based on what we see on TV; I agree he doesn't come across as someone that would be fun to be around, which may have something to do with why his crew does not appear to be guys that know their stuff very well??

Again, James Goad (??) could very well be a great guy just playing Up a roll for the TV show ???

Monte would most likely know who James Goad really is. I think he's done work on the car. I wouldn't expect him, or anyone, to throw shade at anyone on a web-board, though.
