One of the real reasons the show has stopped is richard rawlings has ended his contract with Discovery so none of the shows will return. His contract with Discovery pre dated youtube exc and he could not do any modern social media style entertainment witch is where the real money is now and if he did Discovery would sue him as the contract stopped him from doing any thing not on there plateform. This might be the same for some of the other shows you see on Discovery that where kinda also pre youtube and why you dont see a lot of the big names from shows doing more social media style entertainment.
@@apengelly86 that is true , i do expect another network to pick it up or even his franchise starts its own broradcasting like that show fixer upper did ,
@@apengelly86 TH-cam it's been around for 15 years even well before Google bought it. Are you sure that it was RR that ended the contract and not discovery.? If it was discovery he could definitely still keep doing shows online. But misfit garage ended in 2018 for no reason gas monkey continued after that so something happened to misfit garage.
Because it was getting low ratings and the script writers were out of ideas. You can only have so many guys coming in and out and more antics than actual car builds to keep car guys interested.
don't know being fake, seems like a pretty good reason, not that "reality" tv viewers are opposed to fake (since 100% of them are at least half staged) . It seemed fishy to me from the start, seemed like the drama more then the cars were center stage. One of the many reason I don't like "reality" tv shows, cause they couldn't be further from reality. Once the same drama over and over got boring (ratings fell) it makes sense the show and the fake shop would close.
@@wesleywhittington8499 It feels like one of those nightmares where you are falling of of the top of a building and can't wake up, but the ground never gets closer to you.
yeha for me they just disapeared.. i used to watch them on youtube.. just saw gas mokey garage richard youtube making videos now seems fun i like youtube stuff less fake shit more real stuff then i remembered watching fired up garage... i liked those guys... seems like they disappeared
Not in 2018 it wasn't that's when misfit garage stopped in the middle of its season. Yet there was no word why it was stopped I believe it got more ratings than RR who was the executive producer
Not 100% maybe 50%, they were real mechanics doing real mechanical work they just couldn't show all that. But let me ask you why was misfit garage stopped in the middle of its season in 2018? Fast and furious continued on after that and misfit garage got good ratings at that time. Thanks for the reply
I feel like if it wasn't for Aaron, neither of these shows would exist. He has a wealth of knowledge and understands period correct hotrods and builds with perfect taste. Nothing the guy touches ever comes out gaudy or off. Just the right amount of wheel, hight, fitment, etc every time.
Not giving him stock in the company was Richard's mistake. Just like Paul sr. Couldn't let Jr take the shop over now look at it. It's all but shut down
Yeah you're right. And I think kind of wrong to Aaron had his own show and it didn't go over good at all it was a horrible horrible show. He's got a nice shop state-of-the-art equipment but he's trying to go after fabbing parts. A little different than where Richard was trying to do
I've actually met Dennis at one of the Gas Monkey car shows (the bar and grill was in my neighborhood)and he's a truly nice guy. Richard on the other hand is a prick and you can't get within 10 feet of him regardless of how cool the show says he is.
As a Dallas resident who grew up racing in that area, I would agree 100%. Rawlings couldn't tell you the firing order on a 5hp Briggs and Stratton. Aaron was skilled.

When it comes to money he ain't so nice. did he say what happened to misfit garage? Why did it stop production in the middle of its season in 2018. Also do you know where Tom Smith is working?
I went over to misfit garage one time to ask about having some work done and they said they really don't do work at all and just do filming. That gave me the clue that I needed which was that it was never really a garage to do work to begin with. They referred me to the front part of the garage before they took it over for filming there.
Well they were getting paid very well so why did certain employees quit? A couple were fired also never seen again. I heard they did do a lot of the work just couldn't show it on TV especially that painter did all his own work. But yes we all know it was scripted to a certain extent. What did you need done on your car did you need a complete restoration? Cuz I don't think they did small stuff
Did they happen to say why the production quit in 2018 out of nowhere? Because it stopped in May when they were committed through August and there was no final episode so that really never made any sense
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules I had an old chevy truck that needed a resto job, it was quite salvageable and had good bones woth than needed some body work and a complete gone thru much like you see in the show. They also said that Rawlings wouldn't do that kind of work either and not being able to find a place that did that kind of work I just finally sold it as is on ebay.
Tom Weeks is one of the best dam engine builders ever. His race cars were fast an reliable. I use to help out at devil's bowl races with Tom. He built an engine for my 63 an that thing just ran an ran fast. Miss hanging out Joe.

@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules do you actually think Richard would broadcast a video/pictures of Tom kicking the hell out of him in his own nightclub? A club patron told a Dallas radio station about the incident.
It's done as well a Fast and Loud. The relationship berween Rawlings and Discovery is over. He announced it on Joe Rogan's radio show. What do you expect, it's 2020.
This show was utterly amazing! Yes it was staged but it was immensely entertaining and all the cast were just suited to the show. I live in the UK and Discovery needs to bring this back. There's nothing like it!

I'm a "car guy". I hate these drama shows. I want to watch a "how to do it" type show. Give me a show that shows me how to modify cars and I'll be back.
I never thought it was real, although I enjoyed watching it for six years, I mean, that cab not tied down, just blowing off the trailer, set up, tom falling down and smashing the " irreplaceable " windshield, set up, all for show
@@stedegrissom5788 I think you're playing us or you would give the number besides I've already heard from different people who live in the neighborhood that they never really did much work there it was all drama and fired up garage wasn't really owned by Richard Rollins but somebody else and that it's been closed up for a couple of years now
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules believe what you want to. I'm not giving a number that can be found on Google as I found it there. You really think he wants to answer 1000 questions about the shop? I don't care either way, I know what I know and don't have to prove anything to you.
I heard they did do real mechanic work but 50% of it was scripted for drama not sure how real the customers were since none of these people were real actors.
never did get why people like watching Gas Monkey considering 1/2 the show is Richard getting his ego stroked. I watched one season and got tired of watching Richard and his ego.
It was like watching the stooges episode where they were working in the garage and fixing the captains car, but ad-libbed again for every episode. good fun
RR is all about RR. In the end he will eventually have nothing. He has no skills and fast and loud as been canceled. He’s on his way down. I don’t know him or met him , I just don’t like the show off attitude. Iron resurrection and Bitchin rides are good shows. I don’t want to here an owner complaining about money and deadlines the whole time. RR takes credit for everything and does nothing. Just my opinion:)
It was all staged, the green buildings were owned by Rawlings holding LLC. The shop was his storage for his flip cars before recording the show. I used to think the first season was legit but in fact their were inconsistencies in the filming too. The buyers were staged, the green truck was actually KC Matheui’s personal ford stored at his father in laws place. The other “sold” cars were still on the lot after season filming ended.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules forums and also i looked up the buildings because i wanted to build a shop that size. Remember his brother in law is a real estate investor knows all the loopholes and tax codes. He has always been a millionaire since his printing days so this was just a hobby that made him richer. Why do you think the smart ones left. If you go to his establishments the employees are rude and pushy for sales, the episode with build 44 the guy purposely fell through the ceiling tiles. Yet everyone kisses his ass
@@el_txserpico4501 was you talking about the football player on Kansas City Matheui? But what about the customers they were real buyers right? The same on The misfits real buyers. Not actors. Somebody else said that lived in that area they used to see Richard Rollins at the auctions all the time paying way too much and getting laughed at. Also heard he married a very rich woman which he is now divorced from of course I don't know who she is. And that's how he got the money to start this flipping car business. But I think the misfits were real mechanics I'm sure they didn't enjoy working in 110° heat inside that building with no air condition.
I just seen Phipps as the real landlord when the show was on...I kept telling myself a few things about the show but it was entertaining for the most part
I live in the same town as Thomas Weeks, Quinlan Texas. He has owned a tiny little one bay machine shop here for a couple of decades. An absolute small town shyster. Friend of mine years ago paid for a complete rebuilt engine and a couple of weeks after it was "installed" he asked me to take a quick look at it because it was making a funny noise and it was a Sunday so he couldn't take it in to the garage. I pull the dog house (it was a van) and I see a junkyard engine with a sloppy quick paint job on it. Bolts encased in grease with paint over it. Painfully obvious that not one bolt had been removed other than the ones necessary to swap out the engine for the junkyard engine. Show should have been called "Dipshit Garage" He even exposed himself as a hack on the show. For some big build he brings in two mismatched cylinder heads for an engine with different size valves, different casting numbers and valve stem installed heights all over the place. WOW. He has been doing this kind of shady AF stuff so long he never even considered how retarded that made him look.
Was it At fired up garage? Or did he go back to working for RR? Because in May of 2018 misfit garage stopped production out of the blue for no reason no explanation. Also somebody said he beat the hell out of RR at his bar one night but so far no evidence of that
Lol, discovery channel. I watched a single episode of Ice Road Bullshit. Being that I have been commercial heavy since 1984, It was unwatchable. Who throws a $1400 torquewrench when thats your livelyhood?
Watching drivers hit the trailer brake while driving through a corner with an empty trailer for entertainment all while telling us how dangerous it is. I also really got a kick out of them walking onto the ice and stomping their feet to see if the ice was safe. ROTFLMAO
Umm, a few notable "Facts" from someone who actually grew up in this area with all the "Well Known" and credible builders. 1 - Rawlings is NOT a car guy. He was kind of a joke in the area as was Dennis. 2- ASM Auto interiors is the real deal, known as one of the best in Texas. 3-Aaron K is the Real deal, he came after the infamous "Gasoline Alley" days on emerald, California Crossing and Luna Rd. But people knew him. 4- The infamous 405 Outlaws and the crews in this area (Excluding Monkey) have been rivals for many years and used to meet up on many streets in North Ft Worth (Alliance area) for H2H racing. 5- Both the Dallas and Farmers Branch Police used to block off the I-635 service road (at Luna) on Friday and Saturday night to allow us to street race all night. You didn't get in without Street Cred. It was good times and you would see people like Charlie Lucus, Grumpy Jenkins, Tyler "Flip" Piddy and even the infamous Bill Wendt was know to show. This all ended in the late 80s. The cars to beat back then were Mike Childress (RIP) and his green Maverick, The white 55 Chevy from Emerald, the red 66 Chevelle (JR) from Farmers Branch and of course JG ugly green 70 Cuda'. I was no legend, but I did run both a 79 RS and a 77 Heavy Eliminator Olds out there.
Did you ever hear of Tom Smith beating the hell out of Richard Rawlins at that bar and grill? And that's the reason misfit garage was stopped in 2018 with no explanation. Richard supposedly begged The producers at Discovery to cancel them. But so far no video proof of that. Also heard that fired up garage was just a production set but they were all real mechanics just don't know about the customers buying cars because none of these people were real actors so they did come across as genuine
Well, It looks like Aaron's show was short lived too. Richard made his money. Then dumped the other character's when the show fizzled. To much in fighting on Fired Up Garage. Ruined the Show. Now Dennis's TH-cam channel is booming! To Hell with Richard! Long live Aaron! Shawn.
Not true this is all about contracts with discovery! Richard had to leave discovery because they was stopping him from working with any one else but discovery this include his own social media like youtube unless it involved discovery they owned HIM. This was propblably the same for Aaron and many others from the shows and apparantly Discovery are not good people. I know Richard cant speak out about discovery and they way the treated him because of NDA's problably the same for Aaron.
If there was a lot of infighting they should have showed that on the program that would have been entertaining also since they did show it in earlier years. But for some reason misfit garage stopped production in the middle of its season in 2018 while fast and loud continued until 2020. It may have been a fight with discovery not sure. But I heard Tom Smith beat the hell out of Richard Rawlings one night at the restaurant but no video proof has been shown
It’s like street outlaws, any chance to see classic cars or old school muscle gets watched, not because it’s real great. Just cause each year you see fewer and fewer classics on the road (daily driving) Since the past 14 or so years. All NICE muscle cars are more about collecting today, than simply enjoying for people with money that is, that’s why pro touring cars are such a big deal. Big ugly wheels, just ls engines, as far from original as possible, not custom crafted, just everything aftermarket thrown and bolted on to them. Racers used to be the ones primarily building custom cars, today the knowledge understanding and capability aren’t there, that’s why everything is ls swapped. When you can get 454s, 427s, 351c, dart blocks, etc ford and chevy... ppl just don’t know head cam combo, etc... all with one carburetor. The capabilities are endless, we just live in a world of “follow the leader” when the “leader” isn’t even competent. In all backgrounds, work, school, politics, wherever.
just like OC choppers...... fake fights and drama between dad and sons...... got old real fast boyd c show was same way ,drama fake fights ,people quiting/fired .....yeah got old too.
looks like the boss is spending all the money on tatoo's bling and fuel for the HUGE vehicle he drives, plus there seems more talk than work as none of them are dirty ie working
i thought it was more then obvious that Rawlings staged this whole thing. He was always in there helping them and they were all his fired employees. I think Big Chief making Rawlings out to be a huge duesche made the rating plumment this ending the show.
Who cares? The people who get their car worked on by them. You obviously don’t because u never got your car worked on by them. They could send out cars unsafe when I hear shit like this it makes me more aware when I send out a car bc I want them to be safe.
I don't watch garbage shows like that I'm a real car guy that actually works on real hot rods I have too much respect for the business to put on a shitshow like that
Kenny is right though, it turned into a shit show. The first two seasons of GMG were pretty good and relatable. The moment they left that dirty shitty old shop, it went down hill. It only survived afterwards because of Aaron Kauffman.
Rawlings was the Producer... the boys at Misfits became VERY VERY popular (ratings stealing popular) & a production idea to make Richard LOOK LIKE the Arch enemy backfired when people stopped watching Gas Monkey and loved the guys at Fired Up. Obvious producer choice, drop the struggling shop and keep the Millionaire going by investing in Garage rehab instead. Boils down to WHO is backing you. Any producer worth their job would go get the boys back and put them in a nice shop.

He can wreck cars pretty well :)

A tree fell on a customer's truck, if that was fake the owner was a damn good actor.
Most people watch car builds on YT anyway.
Yeah only part of it was scripted but some people are fooled very easily
Just like any show, it has its run. I remember the good ol days of watching Orange County. The OG of all these type of shows.
There is one OG show that delt with cars actually I think one of the first car customization shows out there and that was Monster Garage
Fire up Gerage must continue because the show got lots viewers
Regardless of what really happened, or is happening, I think Richard is a genius.

Did they happen to say why the production quit in 2018 out of nowhere? Because it stopped in May when they were committed through August and there was no final episode so that really never made any sense
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules They didn't say other than they just couldn't do any work because of filming.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules I had an old chevy truck that needed a resto job, it was quite salvageable and had good bones woth than needed some body work and a complete gone thru much like you see in the show. They also said that Rawlings wouldn't do that kind of work either and not being able to find a place that did that kind of work I just finally sold it as is on ebay.
Here's another wrinkle - Rawlings just announced he has parted ways, with Discovery....
This show was so hard to watch. The sweat hog dude was so off putting - yuk.
Tom Weeks is one of the best dam engine builders ever. His race cars were fast an reliable. I use to help out at devil's bowl races with Tom. He built an engine for my 63 an that thing just ran an ran fast. Miss hanging out Joe.
Didn't know Jesus drove cars of course it's BLASPHEMY to use his name
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules of course I do just human like u. blasphemy of a fictional character. That's funny.
I love fired up garage...... Hope Tom weeks is OK....... 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Was wondering what happened to MISFIT GARAGE. Enjoyed watching it.
It and a few other similar Discovery Network shows. I still watch WELDER UP Garage (a.k.a Vegas Ratrods) here on TH-cam.
I enjoyed watching it to
It ended in May of 2018 was supposed to go through August of 2018 and it just completely stopped out of nowhere had nothing to do with you tube either
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules it did go into august 2018, there were 12 episodes in the last season.
@@enchanted_blue9807 no it didn't type in what happened to misfit garage on Google
It was confirmed on The Joe Rogan Experience that Fast n Loud has come to an end
Thought Fast and Loud would finally go under.
They were said to be done a year ago but Rolling ego paid to try another year.
Like Rehab Garage was a flop.
He made his millions.
Good.
@@geralddeitz9169 His contract was up for renewal and he didn't want to be tied into the things in the new one. I'm sure another station will pick it up as it had a ton of viewers
@@enchanted_blue9807 yeah but what happened to misfit garage in 2018 it just stopped in the middle of its season for no reason
Since Aaron left gas monkey it has died it's not near the show it was so maybe Aaron would open the misfit shop that would be a GameStop
Gas monkeys show is done too
And Aaron is still looking for a job.....with a tv show
I know they pay an outrageous price for the cars they get and they ask out outrageous price when they're done and the cars aren't fixed that well
The car prices in Texas are surely different than South Carolina I'll put it that way
Aaron already has a shop of his own hes done very well since leaving but he was the brains behind building the cars that got richard known.
Let’s just say that Richard has separated from the networks and is a free agent so to speak as he states on his last visit with Joe Rogan.
After Tom got drunk and beat Richard's ass one night in his club, Richard wanted no more of the misfits.
@Elbert Neace snap
@@allan9603 where did you hear that? where can we see the information or the video since there are cameras everywhere?
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules do you actually think Richard would broadcast a video/pictures of Tom kicking the hell out of him in his own nightclub?
A club patron told a Dallas radio station about the incident.
@@allan9603 well you got a good point there but certainly there was witnesses that used their cell phones to record it
Every time I see Tom I feel he can clear a room with his gas.
Or breath!!
We germans used Tom in the god old times to power our industrial mass murder buildings and to heat our homes.
I watched this in Cambodia....it kept me sane
Uhm no sir the show is on hiatus not canceled. No cancelation has been announced or confirmed.
It's done as well a Fast and Loud. The relationship berween Rawlings and Discovery is over. He announced it on Joe Rogan's radio show. What do you expect, it's 2020.
I wish Discovery would bring the show back!!!
This show was utterly amazing! Yes it was staged but it was immensely entertaining and all the cast were just suited to the show. I live in the UK and Discovery needs to bring this back. There's nothing like it!
Discovery doesn't want shows that people watch. They are worried about Drag queen story time shows now.
One of the real reasons the show has stopped is richard rawlings has ended his contract with Discovery so none of the shows will return. His contract with Discovery pre dated youtube exc and he could not do any modern social media style entertainment witch is where the real money is now and if he did Discovery would sue him as the contract stopped him from doing any thing not on there plateform. This might be the same for some of the other shows you see on Discovery that where kinda also pre youtube and why you dont see a lot of the big names from shows doing more social media style entertainment.
I'm a "car guy". I hate these drama shows. I want to watch a "how to do it" type show. Give me a show that shows me how to modify cars and I'll be back.
The show became less about the cars, and more about the drama. I agree, there are some of us that want to see how the "pros" do the custom builds.
If it was 100% reality and they showed you every minute you would get bored very quickly
so when is the show coming back?
Soupbone painting that tailshaft in front of the fan was enough for me
It was either staged for entertainment purposes or Soupbone is really stupid! Hard to know these days!
Love these people that go on about stuff they have no clue about.
I never thought it was real, although I enjoyed watching it for six years, I mean, that cab not tied down, just blowing off the trailer, set up, tom falling down and smashing the " irreplaceable " windshield, set up, all for show
If it's on TV, it's fake. If they tell you it's real, it's fake. Is it entertaining and holds your interest? That's the question.
In this video, people are shocked that a TV show is fake.
This show should NEVER have begun! It was AWFUL!
Your video was more entertaining than Misfit Garage. So thanks for sharing.
They answer the phone when you call and its Thomas Weeks that answers. So it has to be something.
Why didn't you give the number was it at the literal fired up garage which is been closed for a while?
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules the number is the same Thomas answers or calls back. It's not hard to find the number, Google is easy to work.
@@stedegrissom5788 I think you're playing us or you would give the number besides I've already heard from different people who live in the neighborhood that they never really did much work there it was all drama and fired up garage wasn't really owned by Richard Rollins but somebody else and that it's been closed up for a couple of years now
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules believe what you want to. I'm not giving a number that can be found on Google as I found it there. You really think he wants to answer 1000 questions about the shop? I don't care either way, I know what I know and don't have to prove anything to you.
I won't knock Richard for this he's a genius honestly and set
Where are they now? The cast?
Misfit Garage, needs to come back! Discovery needs too listen!
None of this is true that shop is real 100/% i have a friend that lives there and has been to it dont believe everything u hear or see
...and I run a spa on the back side of the moon...🤣
I heard they did do real mechanic work but 50% of it was scripted for drama not sure how real the customers were since none of these people were real actors.
COMING SOON !! "Douche Bag Garage" where a Richard can be a Richard .
Ohhh Richard 😂
never did get why people like watching Gas Monkey considering 1/2 the show is Richard getting his ego stroked. I watched one season and got tired of watching Richard and his ego.
I really miss the show.... I know that it's set up a lot, but it's entertaining and the cars are cool. 😊😊😊😊🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
I can't believe I was fooled. Don't we all buy 67 427 Vetts for 10k and flip in a day for 25.
It was like watching the stooges episode where they were working in the garage and fixing the captains car, but ad-libbed again for every episode. good fun
I liked that show
I think RR likes his friends and gave them a chance to make some of their own money!
He wouldn’t give anyone the chance to make money if it comes out of his bank account
@@JL-bs6yz Umm...executive producer Wise ass? Lol
If that were the case. DoucheRocket Rawlings would have made Aaron a partner. Which he didn't!!!!!! Rawlings is all about himself and no one else.
@@billyt.7387 Don't think Aaron wanted to be his partner. Aaron did all the work!
RR is all about RR. In the end he will eventually have nothing. He has no skills and fast and loud as been canceled. He’s on his way down. I don’t know him or met him , I just don’t like the show off attitude.
Iron resurrection and Bitchin rides are good shows. I don’t want to here an owner complaining about money and deadlines the whole time.
RR takes credit for everything and does nothing.
Just my opinion:)
Rawlings no longer works for Discovery. He went on Joe Rogan last month and said so.
It was all staged, the green buildings were owned by Rawlings holding LLC. The shop was his storage for his flip cars before recording the show. I used to think the first season was legit but in fact their were inconsistencies in the filming too. The buyers were staged, the green truck was actually KC Matheui’s personal ford stored at his father in laws place. The other “sold” cars were still on the lot after season filming ended.
None of those people were real actors especially the customers and the customers always acted genuine . Where did you get all this information?
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules forums and also i looked up the buildings because i wanted to build a shop that size. Remember his brother in law is a real estate investor knows all the loopholes and tax codes. He has always been a millionaire since his printing days so this was just a hobby that made him richer. Why do you think the smart ones left. If you go to his establishments the employees are rude and pushy for sales, the episode with build 44 the guy purposely fell through the ceiling tiles. Yet everyone kisses his ass
@@el_txserpico4501 was you talking about the football player on Kansas City Matheui? But what about the customers they were real buyers right? The same on The misfits real buyers. Not actors. Somebody else said that lived in that area they used to see Richard Rollins at the auctions all the time paying way too much and getting laughed at. Also heard he married a very rich woman which he is now divorced from of course I don't know who she is. And that's how he got the money to start this flipping car business. But I think the misfits were real mechanics I'm sure they didn't enjoy working in 110° heat inside that building with no air condition.
I did watch misfit garage and I liked it more than the other one but now fast n loud is gone too.
I still liked the show no matter if it was fake it was just good
Richard and Aaron are the best
They never were real car builders. The cars are nothing but bondo. I doubt if you could hang a magnet on any of them.
I just seen Phipps as the real landlord when the show was on...I kept telling myself a few things about the show but it was entertaining for the most part
I enjoyed the show & I don't care if it was fake.
These shows are death, the staged sheat is so horrible.
I live in the same town as Thomas Weeks, Quinlan Texas. He has owned a tiny little one bay machine shop here for a couple of decades.
An absolute small town shyster. Friend of mine years ago paid for a complete rebuilt engine and a couple of weeks after it was "installed" he asked me to take a quick look at it because it was making a funny noise and it was a Sunday so he couldn't take it in to the garage. I pull the dog house (it was a van) and I see a junkyard engine with a sloppy quick paint job on it. Bolts encased in grease with paint over it. Painfully obvious that not one bolt had been removed other than the ones necessary to swap out the engine for the junkyard engine. Show should have been called "Dipshit Garage"
He even exposed himself as a hack on the show. For some big build he brings in two mismatched cylinder heads for an engine with different size valves, different casting numbers and valve stem installed heights all over the place. WOW. He has been doing this kind of shady AF stuff so long he never even considered how retarded that made him look.
Figured it was completely fake. But even if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t let those dopes work on my lawnmower.
I was there a few years ago, without the cameras rolling, and Tom, the crazy one, was as funny off camera as he is on camera.
He’s my favorite
Was it At fired up garage? Or did he go back to working for RR? Because in May of 2018 misfit garage stopped production out of the blue for no reason no explanation. Also somebody said he beat the hell out of RR at his bar one night but so far no evidence of that
Lol, discovery channel. I watched a single episode of Ice Road Bullshit. Being that I have been commercial heavy since 1984, It was unwatchable. Who throws a $1400 torquewrench when thats your livelyhood?
Watching drivers hit the trailer brake while driving through a corner with an empty trailer for entertainment all while telling us how dangerous it is. I also really got a kick out of them walking onto the ice and stomping their feet to see if the ice was safe. ROTFLMAO
I Miss that Show!
You tube took over & there is no going back to reality TV.
You Tube - Should go to HELL! I liked the reality TV
Car shows.
Tom was on Dennis Collins TH-cam channel the other week selling him an engine. By how he was talking it seems all over for fired up garage.
Umm, a few notable "Facts" from someone who actually grew up in this area with all the "Well Known" and credible builders. 1 - Rawlings is NOT a car guy. He was kind of a joke in the area as was Dennis. 2- ASM Auto interiors is the real deal, known as one of the best in Texas. 3-Aaron K is the Real deal, he came after the infamous "Gasoline Alley" days on emerald, California Crossing and Luna Rd. But people knew him. 4- The infamous 405 Outlaws and the crews in this area (Excluding Monkey) have been rivals for many years and used to meet up on many streets in North Ft Worth (Alliance area) for H2H racing. 5- Both the Dallas and Farmers Branch Police used to block off the I-635 service road (at Luna) on Friday and Saturday night to allow us to street race all night. You didn't get in without Street Cred. It was good times and you would see people like Charlie Lucus, Grumpy Jenkins, Tyler "Flip" Piddy and even the infamous Bill Wendt was know to show. This all ended in the late 80s. The cars to beat back then were Mike Childress (RIP) and his green Maverick, The white 55 Chevy from Emerald, the red 66 Chevelle (JR) from Farmers Branch and of course JG ugly green 70 Cuda'. I was no legend, but I did run both a 79 RS and a 77 Heavy Eliminator Olds out there.
Cool story bro
Did you ever hear of Tom Smith beating the hell out of Richard Rawlins at that bar and grill? And that's the reason misfit garage was stopped in 2018 with no explanation. Richard supposedly begged The producers at Discovery to cancel them. But so far no video proof of that. Also heard that fired up garage was just a production set but they were all real mechanics just don't know about the customers buying cars because none of these people were real actors so they did come across as genuine
Well, It looks like Aaron's show was short lived too. Richard made his money. Then dumped the other character's when the show fizzled. To much in fighting on Fired Up Garage. Ruined the Show. Now Dennis's TH-cam channel is booming! To Hell with Richard! Long live Aaron! Shawn.
Not true this is all about contracts with discovery! Richard had to leave discovery because they was stopping him from working with any one else but discovery this include his own social media like youtube unless it involved discovery they owned HIM. This was propblably the same for Aaron and many others from the shows and apparantly Discovery are not good people. I know Richard cant speak out about discovery and they way the treated him because of NDA's problably the same for Aaron.
If there was a lot of infighting they should have showed that on the program that would have been entertaining also since they did show it in earlier years. But for some reason misfit garage stopped production in the middle of its season in 2018 while fast and loud continued until 2020. It may have been a fight with discovery not sure. But I heard Tom Smith beat the hell out of Richard Rawlings one night at the restaurant but no video proof has been shown
It’s like street outlaws, any chance to see classic cars or old school muscle gets watched, not because it’s real great. Just cause each year you see fewer and fewer classics on the road (daily driving) Since the past 14 or so years. All NICE muscle cars are more about collecting today, than simply enjoying for people with money that is, that’s why pro touring cars are such a big deal. Big ugly wheels, just ls engines, as far from original as possible, not custom crafted, just everything aftermarket thrown and bolted on to them. Racers used to be the ones primarily building custom cars, today the knowledge understanding and capability aren’t there, that’s why everything is ls swapped. When you can get 454s, 427s, 351c, dart blocks, etc ford and chevy... ppl just don’t know head cam combo, etc... all with one carburetor. The capabilities are endless, we just live in a world of “follow the leader” when the “leader” isn’t even competent. In all backgrounds, work, school, politics, wherever.
Still more real than the news. lol.

@Randall Johnson he won't be there 4 years. His own party is going to turn on him to put willy browns old booty call in.
Tom said stay tuned. But that was over the summer.
just like OC choppers...... fake fights and drama between dad and sons...... got old real fast
boyd c show was same way ,drama fake fights ,people quiting/fired .....yeah got old too.
When you make everyone a partner who walks through the door you know it's never going to work
looks like the boss is spending all the money on tatoo's bling and fuel for the HUGE vehicle he drives, plus there seems more talk than work as none of them are dirty ie working
i thought it was more then obvious that Rawlings staged this whole thing. He was always in there helping them and they were all his fired employees. I think Big Chief making Rawlings out to be a huge duesche made the rating plumment this ending the show.
Either way the show was entertaining. Luvd it.
GMG is not the same without the good guys. Looks like they got guys that belong in that garage in vegas.
Who cares, good info but at the end of the day these shows are fun and a great escape, hope they are all doing OK
Who cares? The people who get their car worked on by them. You obviously don’t because u never got your car worked on by them. They could send out cars unsafe when I hear shit like this it makes me more aware when I send out a car bc I want them to be safe.
I don't watch garbage shows like that I'm a real car guy that actually works on real hot rods I have too much respect for the business to put on a shitshow like that
Kenny is right though, it turned into a shit show. The first two seasons of GMG were pretty good and relatable. The moment they left that dirty shitty old shop, it went down hill. It only survived afterwards because of Aaron Kauffman.
I liked the show. Who cares if it scripted. Its still better that the other bs Hollywood has to offer. I hope they come back.
Hmmm, shop turned green when Rawlings opened up a new ShopuDrama, Should have called it Low Brow Garage, Gas Chimps Garage
I always called it "Dipshit Garage"
Rawlings was the Producer... the boys at Misfits became VERY VERY popular (ratings stealing popular) & a production idea to make Richard LOOK LIKE the Arch enemy backfired when people stopped watching Gas Monkey and loved the guys at Fired Up. Obvious producer choice, drop the struggling shop and keep the Millionaire going by investing in Garage rehab instead. Boils down to WHO is backing you. Any producer worth their job would go get the boys back and put them in a nice shop.
This is old new. Richard said last week he is done with discovery Channel.
Probably bill but yeah I believe he's watching isn't everybody but yeah hopefully I can bless him
