Years ago I was in key west with my family. We went to the gas monkey bar restaurant. Richard and his friends had just been there. According to the staff we talked to, he was extremely rude and nasty to everyone. He was drunk and obnoxious and left no tip for anyone!! No one we spoke to had single good thing to say about him. The sad thing is there were people who had admired him and his show and were really disappointed to see how much of an asshole he was in real life!! Many times the person and image portrayed on television, isn’t really who these people are. At the end of the day they are all human beings, no different from anyone else. They are just in the public spotlight and people have expectations of what they think they are but are rarely the truth!! I personally don’t know Richard Rawlings and don’t care to . He seems like an asshole to me and theirs plenty of them everywhere in life. I don’t idolize or care about anyone except my own family. Unless these people are paying my bills they are just entertainment. People you see on television and either watch them or not!

We stayed at a hotel called the Pegasus. All the bars and shops and restaurants are lined down this street. They call it the New Orleans of Florida because there’s more bars within such a small area. Much further down Duvall street, closer to the western side of the Island was Gas Monkey restaurant.at the time we went there because we all watched the show and thought we would try it. I’m a welder and make things from repurposing other things and the restaurant was full of things made like that. The bar stools I still have pictures of somewhere because I thought I might make them. It also had two floors with a pool table upstairs and an outside dining area just outside of where the pool table was. It also overlooked Duvall st. I even remember what I ate that night!

Never really cared for the guy!! They had some really cool cars on the show and that's why I watched it but I could tell I wouldn't want to be around Rawlings for any period of time. He had a good knowledge of the cars and the car buisness and he should have stuck with that. Greed usually gets egomaniacs like him. Any man who wears all that jewelry and runs his own hands through his hair a dozen x a minute cares about himself more then anyone else and that's always a problem.

Just about everything held up on high in public opinion is just another target waiting to be knocked off. The bigger they are the harder they fall is directly associated. Never was too much of a fan of the show or the personality. No doubt there was much positive light shed on the industry by this show. I did enjoy his first mechanic Kaufman. That Falcon he built directly effected the value of those overlooked cars. I don’t know if it’s possible but going back to what worked at first is highly advisable. Don’t like seeing anyone fall. We’re all in it together. Same thing could happen to anyone. Yourself included. Dealing with the public on a large scale like this has to be a serious challenge.

If you care at all about what you and your engine builders are doing an Oldsmobile is about the hardest to fuck up, and they went through 2 before getting 1 half ass running and thought it was gold. Plenty of people have gotten that shit right, building in their driveway or garage.

Dennis was the money behind Rawlings. Rawlings is nothing more than a spoiled rotten egomaniac. He showed this quite well on the show where he went into other shops and redid them. I remember the one where the owners girl friend showed up and Rawlings accused the guy of holding out on a car, he took it.

It’s very hard to find people with any decent work ethic these days. You have to make money for your employer, in return you make money. A lot of people will ruin a place with laziness and corruption driving a company into the ground. It’s only getting worse each generation feeling more entitled than the last. A lot of mindless drones barely able to complete any duties at all.

Meet him one day ordering a bunch of food with a group of people. He ordered an enormous amount of food and sat around for about 10minutes then just got up and left without paying for the food. The bill was for just under 300 dollars worth of food which the owner of the small privately owned business had to pay for. If they would have waited 5 more minutes their food would have been ready. I was a big fan back in the day but would rather watch him cry and go broke now. If karma is real I hope he goes broke and homeless because he acted like an ASS that day.

Ha. You guys give Richard wayyy' too much credit. Maybe check with all his Ables Lane and Fabens Road landlords. His NW Dallas landlords prior to his TV show. All of which locked Richard out due to unpaid rents. Also. Dennis Collins was the roll of cash for Richard for many, many years. Rad TV had Dennis and his Ferrari Cannonballing 20 years ago. Now Velocity. Now owned by Discovery channel. Dennis' family has had Collins Bros Jeep for 40 plus years. ***Richard IS and always has been .. a douche' bag. Dallas Racer's Row is the neighborhood his businesses have continued to fail in. We are all amazed his last one has made it this far. Maybe the man finally has changed. I doubt it tho'.
