For example, in one episode, Jay informs the Fast and Loud crew that he wanted a perfect replica of the Knight Rider car in two weeks to celebrate his birthday. After making his demands clear, he slaps $50,000 in cash on Richard Rawlings' desk to make it happen. He also offered to double the money if the crew could get David Hasselhoff to appear at his party when the car was unveiled. Riecke owns dozens of exotic and classic cars. Jay and Dennis Collins have made frequent appearances on Fast and Loud.
