Aaron Kaufman LEAVES gas monkey! Rawlings: "it came completely out of left field"

[LateralJeaz]

So I want to preface my post by saying; yes, I know most of the show, not unlike almost everything else on tv that claims to be 'reality', is about as from the hip as pro wrestling....THAT BEING SAID..

After catching the short preview of next season of fast-n-loud on discovery, I quickly dug this up online:

Followed by this journalistic jem, horrid punctuation in tow (not that mine is stellar):

First off let me say, Being a native Texican myself and spending lots of time in the dfw area with family, I liked the idea and the personalities of this show from the get go. I don't watch it religiously. And yes, it has its ridiclous moments and the plots can sometimes be thin at best. But I must say, I'm entertained by it for the most part.

However, the episode(s)? about dave's general mayhem vs the GMG dart felt different to me. They contained palpable tension between GMG and Roadkill that I swore I felt even as I watched it on tv. And sure enough, looks like where there was smoke there was fire! And quite possibly it seems that those events contributed to Aaron's departure!

So I guess there's a dash of reality in reality tv after all! And I may just have to dvr this season, to take in some silly but generally fun automotive based TV, and....TO SEE THEM BICKER UNTIL AK QUITS! Lolol. mission accomplished discovery, ya got me. I hope Aaron gets his own show. Brillliant mechanic or not, you can tell he has a genuine love for wrenching. Thoughts?
