idk, Pimp My Ride, imo, is quite a bit worse. It's not necessarily "whomever wins the last round wins the money".

1st three cars - $100 per car
2 more cars $200/car, plus the "combo round" (1 time for the two cars, so car A + car B, only ask one question, pick which driver to ask) - also a flat $200 for the combo round.
3 more cars - $300/car.
4th round - $500, one car.

If you know the owner/driver of the car, you're supposed to step down for that round. So, if Vinnie (I know to the tenth what he'll run every day) pulls up, I'd need to step down. Whoever has the most money when the game ends walks home with the cash. I have seen cases where an individual has no cash, or has too little to compete in the final round ($100, the Ken and the other contestant have the rest) and as a result, regardless of result, will lose in the end. As others stated, you get to ask a question, i.e. "is the car on the bottle" or "what kind of HP are you making"; I've even seen questions about safety equipment (gives an idea of times, assuming they have the minimum requirement for their class).

Not bench racing - more of podium racing I guess. idk what to call it. Bench racing is when two ricers are sitting at a McDonalds seeing whose car mods list is longer, imo. Don't like it: don't watch it, and/or don't go on there. No complaints here ... I need the cash, and the potential to get paid for going to a dragstrip and watching some cars go down the track, I'll take that, no problem.
