    OK, I fess up I watch it. But the one thing I want to know who is Richard's best friend Dennis? I mean this guy spend $100K like it's nothing. He's there to buy Richard's more expensive cars like it's nothing. If you watched the Ferrari episodes, Dennis didn't blink an eye at the initial $400K buy. Then when Richard starts pooping bricks at $295K, Dennis ponies up another $400K like it's chump change. I'd like to see what he works on! I have seen Dennis with what looks like a Jeep dealership shirt on.

    Yeah, Personally Dennis should be the one with a show. He has a much more watchable personality. On the other hand Richard is worth an estimated 8 million. I really don't think he needed any help buying the car. And for Dennis to go from 350,000 to 400,000 for a wreaked Ferrari, I mean really, how many people are in the market for a Ferrari that badly wreaked. I,d have told them to load it back up, then they would have countered a little more realistically. Thos to episodes were two of their best.

      Advertising?

      That shows ok in small doses. The problem is there's nothing real about reality TV, it's heavily scripted cookie cutter crap.

      Aaron & his epic beardyness + Richard & his wo-MAN-ly drama = a marketable product to beer drinkin arm chair mechanics on a Saturday afternoon before Nasscar..

        Oh absolutely, I agree. I don't take the show too seriously. It's entertainment period. As for the shirt, it hasn't really been made a focal point, only glimpses. I still think a show with Dennis would be fun.

        I watch it after I record it. Usually when I'm folding socks or worming the cat.

          It's starting to grow on me. The last one with the Bonneville thrash for the Aussies was pretty cool.

            Yeah, I've watched it. I don't really understand why they had to show Aaron wearing nothing but his drawers. I'll never understand marketing and ratings, I guess. Or who the target audience is, for that matter, with a scene like that.

              I kept laughing at the guy that was working on the wiper motor. He strikes me as funny for some reason.

                Aaron was at Vintage Airs car show,just cruising around.Seemed like an ok guy when I talked with him. Stopped for pics with all who asked. Then thanked them for watching the show.
                Took at least 3 cars out for test drives with the owners.

                  I watch it, I enjoy it, AND I have a Fast and Loud T-shirt... My dad and his car were extras on the Gasser episode.
                  as for Dennis, Richard and Dennis were partners in the bull run race thing when they raced a Ferrari blah blah blah together.

                  the guy owns a big Jeep dealership in Texas.

                  my wife reminds me EVERY single time I watch that show, that under no circumstances, for any reason what so ever, would she put up with me growing my beard out like Aaron's. she keeps saying "ya gotta sleep sometime, and I WILL shave thats sh!t off your face"!!!!

                  she's funny!!

                      Bearded Bullrun impresario Richard Rawlings and co-pilot Dennis Collins claim to have broken the famous 1979 Cannonball Run time from New York City to Los Angeles of 32 hours and 51 minutes. According to a release, the two bet rival Jay Riecke they could beat the time in their 2007 Bullrun entry, a black Ferrari…

                            I am damn picky about tv shows.... But Fast and Loud is kinda growing on me too. They aren't focusing on relational drama to make it 'interesting'. And that's a good thing. The cars and the process are the stars, and that's what a gearhead wants to see. I still haven't seen the episode where the Ferrari is finished, but just the fact that they hotrodded it and painted it black is kinda cool. It really needs a set of 26's and a lift kit though.........................





                            Of course if they had just mounted the body on 70's K5 Blazer chassis....
