    I know some people don't like Gas Monkey but....

    This video he walks around with Dennis and they discuss two extremely rare Mustangs. One a shelby and one the only Fastback sold into Siagon Vietnam.

    Interesting cars. Tnx for posting the video.  Didn't realize Dennis had that many cars on hand.  Maybe Richard is right,  maybe Dennis is a hoarder!  LOL!  Like him or not, Richard is making a good living and having a great time playing with cool cars all day long.

    Lost interest once Aaron left.  Rawlings seems like an idiot, but I've often wondered how much of that if for dramatic value on the show.  The drama seemed to focus on the interplay of Rawlings absurd ideas and unrealistic timelines and the mechanics frantic dash to somehow make it all happen.  In reality the guy is probably a smarter businessman than the show would lead you to believe, otherwise pretty sure he'd be out of business and broke.  You can have all the high dollar projects in the world, but if you lose money on every one you'll end up broke every time.

    Agree, Rawlings seems more a showman than a 'car guy'.  But, he seems to have made it work for himself.
