Fast 'n Loud steps in it again

I wonder how much they'll lose at the 'no minimum' auction.

The "on screen programming guide" states "a cash-strapped Richard hits the road in search of some quick flips". Could this mean that their funding for performing such debauchery may be limited for this episode?

At breakfast in the hospital cafeteria this morning, a gaggle of lab techs were gathered at the conjoined table next to mine, and were discussing a newly procured mobile veteran's outreach RV, which will soon be visiting venues in our calculated service area. It's really a great idea, as this will help lower the wait times, and lessen the travel requirements for those who served, while providing them with screening and services that they may otherwise delay.

Well, apparently no-one likes the paint scheme of what they refer to at the "Winnebeast". One gal stated that "it looks like something they'd build on one of those TV shows". I wonder if she was referring to Fast and Loud, or possibly "Pimp My Ride"? Irregardless, I would say "looks like something that the Gas Monkey Garage would build" may become a staple of our language for years to come.

I think it's hilarious when their upholsterer, Sue, calls them "Ass Monkey".

I do dig that, or the clip of her breaking the board with Richard's face on it. Figures it would be a woman that might try to chop Dick in half..

It seems that next week Richard will be looking to expand the shop. I hope he isn't thinking about a World Headquarters and a burger stand. That could bite him in the butt very fast (-n-Loud).

He already posted on his facebook they got a building down the same street. He has not said much more about it, I think Discovery wants to follow the paces of getting in a new shop, but as usual, its gonna be up and running and us waiting for them to air what is happening weeks or months after it happened.

Meaning, he is starting to count spend his discovery channel money he expects to earn over the next few years.

The bronco may be a bull**** build, but at least it is a build. The only way the spend more than a week on a flip is if half the car is rusted away. Thats why they consider rust petina and clear over it most of the time. Dont like the bronco, dont like the modifications they will make, but I like the fact its something that will take them more than a week. Maybe the big shop will allow them to do more of it and make them seem more like builders than flippers.

Surely Richard Rawlings will not overlook what happened with the expansion of OCC. I can see how he may wish to have more space and more builds, but he needs to consider that "Fast and Loud" definitely has an expiration date.

I kinda like this show. Mostly because I like old cars in general. However, I HATE when they pull an original motor and transmission only to put in a generic crate motor. It seems like blasphemy. Now I could understand if the motor was totally shot, but most of the time, the guys just do not wish to take the time to rebuild it.It is so much easier for them just to stick another one in instead, which to me kills the TRUE value of the car. Once you separate the original motor from the car, most if not all of the chance of them being reunited is ruined.

OCC, The Duggars, The Bates (anyone remember United Bates of America?), now Gas Monkey.........it seems that Discovery likes to expand their "sets" when they commit to these "reality" shows. They would try and sanitize the boats on Deadliest Catch if they weren't already multimillion dollar business operations (and the only guys who will be able to continue in their business after Discovery gives them the axe).

I think Rawlings is 100% cuckcoo to expand his overhead and expenses in this economy. Come on, these cars are essentially toys, and toys can be put off when the budget, not to mention overall economy, is in the tank. Sounds like an expense albatross in the making.

Ass Monkey indeed.

I dont think richard got 90,000 square feet, its just big enough for two cars at a time and some room to store a few. Maybe an indoor office with indoor plumbing lol.

I agree completely. that was one of my few complaints about "Overhaulin'" and even then, it only happened once or twice. Considering everything else they did to the cars and the fact that the owners were highly unlikely to ever sell the cars, it wasn't as bad as GMG's "flip it fast" mentality.

The worst case of that I ever saw was a one-of-a-kind 1920's Rolls Royce that had been built for an Indian Maharaja, that was bought by an idiot who "modernized" it with a Ford engine and updated tranny, brakes Etc., with no regard whatsoever for its historical value. Made your skin crawl, I tell 'ya.

I used to work in the custom engine building business and there was no way we could build or rebuild custom engines in the deadlines that these guys like to have with their projects. The time frame is usually in months or even longer for rare collector car engines because parts are difficult to find. For example, that blown 392 Hemi in my avator took approx. 6-8 months to finish. A pre-built crate engine is the most logical choice if your project is on a really tight deadline.

So what does anyone think of the new gas monkey world headquarters 2.0.

lots of space, big builds coming, hope they show more than a redneck beating off on a dimpled valve cover though lol.

surprised the models hair spray did not catch on fire when she was grinding or welding.

1Moparsick0 · Guru

I wih they'd bring back Texas car wars.. lest that was slightly better then watching Dick parade around struting his stuff on stage to make money.

wink

1Moparsick0 · Guru

Tonight episode is to have Richard buy a damaged F-40 Ferrari an fix it up.

This one is going to be a laugh to watch the a$$ Monkies give a high Dollar car their lovely style treatment.

rumple · Senior Member

Even if I did watch the show, which I don't (the amount of time I've wasted on those bozos wouldn't amount to a decent coffee break. I've spent more time watching monkeys at the zoo, which is sorta the same thing... if you gave the monkeys hammers and blowtorches), I'd skip that one. I don't care if the car is something that they found wrapped around a streetlamp pole, it's still a Ferrari, dagnabbit. At one point it was lovingly handcrafted from the finest materials available by an Army of highly-trained Italian craftsman, and probably cost more than a decent three-bedroom house.

Now a couple of yahoos who get their style-tips from "Deliverance" want to turn it into a woodburning rolling outhouse or somesuch ^%@#$, and you know that ain't right. No matter what they do, you know damn well it ain't going to IMPROVE it. I'll watch "Le Mans" on DVD and hoist a glass of liquid gold to the REAL deal, thank you very much.

Thanks for the warning.

anotheridiot · Guru

They are going to be doing more big builds, the ferrari is a 6 figure car, if you get a 250.000 dollar car cheap, its a big pay day.

They were limited in space and are gonna do more big builds like the 58 corvette and now a ferrari. Never saw overhaulin with the balls to handle a ferrari so its worth giving them a chance. They have customers that want clearcoated rust buckets, so why put an extra 10,000 into a car you wont get back. You notice kc's paint jobs are in the thousands of dollars, if they just have 5 grand to profit its not worth the body work. That might all change with the new spraybooth in the world headquarters.

PAMD · Senior Member

I sincerely hope that they come to the realization that quality is the main incentive for someone purchasing a vehicle which they "restored" or modified. It would also be different to see how they handle a customer's car which comes in for repairs or modifications. I've actually found that some of the YouTube automotive/mechanical channels offer more in the way of entertainment, than anything on television today.

1Moparsick0 · Guru

Ferrari owner or connisuers snub cars with even a scratch in the finish, or even will not touch a car that has not been serviced recently or don't has clear records of it being serviced. There's not a chance in _____ that any profit is going to be made on this endever. A ferrari is not a car that the next owner is going to be happy that filler is used to smooth a panel.

anotheridiot · Guru

I think you are missing the point, who can afford a perfect million dollar plus one owner F40 Ferrari, not that there are many out there. I would think more can afford an 800,000 ferrari that has been rebuilt and recertified by Ferrari. They put 200k in original parts which include no filler because its all being replaced and they profit 200k plus. I bet his money buddy ends up paying him for the parts and his work and they end up making around 50k at gas monkey. Richard is not gonna hold that car waiting for it to get 900k.

Anyone notice that the shop has sitting on the ceilings a "ShopFull" of BIG ASS fans. An why might it been that one of the last clients to Senior shop and the Piligram show was Big Ass Fans. Any coincidence.. I certainly doubt it, but it certainly make it seem the expansion was funded be the show. Could it also be possible that some of the teutuls eary expansions couldn't been backed by discovery or Piligram Productions itself. I am starting to feel like both shows are a funded reality entertainment joke. That as long as the actors keep their head from going up their ass an getting to full of themselves, or the ratings stay up that these reality stars get to keep their shows on the boob tube.

Big ass fans are a smart business move, so I doubt richard would have thought of it.

I know that discovery takes buildings to make sets, they did it with jr.

If the story of the birth of Fred is a fabrication, what else from the show is fabricated bullspit..

http://pamoart.com/2012/12/05/biker-build-off-meets-fred/

I'm starting to wonder if GMG even did anything to really make fred... Really mostly they took a already built old bike an did what.. They didn't change the frame or the stance or hop up the motor.. Over than the seat, rear fender, and paint what did they do that was so fabulous to win the praise over Jesse or Senior. Actually I think Senior bike was more innovative than Fred and Jesse's. But then Jesse was time constrained by Senior having him build a rat rod for him.

Soud fairly true.. You Scratch beneath the surface of an ass, you most generally find the Hemroids.
