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

[Rod P]

Aaron is good folks I have been privileged enough to call him a friend for a few years now....he is genuine....what many don't see is the REALLY long hours these guys truly put in...... the cameras and its crew slow down progress all day leave till they leave at 5pm and most every night we were there till 9 or 10 pm making up build time and then eating at 11pm or later just to get back up and be at the shop between 6 and 7 to get some stuff going again before the film crew gets in....I can't speak for Aaron but I do now there has been tension for a while, and the 15 hour days take there toll....not sure what he's doing he wouldnt say and neither did his girlfreind

'm not sure but I think Aaron is working with his friend KC at KC paint and Restoration, according to KC's Facebook page.

I heard that was in the works for over a year.


He's a solid guy and will do well wherever he goes.

While I'm not a big fan of GMG, it was apparent from the start that Aaron was the talented car guy and Rawlins was the self-promoter. I hope Aaron finds his happy place. I would love to see him bring his Falcon out to some autocross events someday. Maybe, if we are lucky, he will show up here on the pages of Lat-G or PT.com some day. Rod, if you see him again, point him in our direction.

I was at the gas monkey car show 2 months ago and won an award. The shop guys were really nice asking about my car. My type of people. Shop is only 30min away. Hopefully they can make it out to some shows.

So just to add to this...if it even matters, my buddy was on a Discovery Channel show that aired directly after Fast 'N Loud. He got to talking to the crew, which obviously Discovery that puts on Fast 'N Loud.

According to him/Discovery guys...Aaron and Richard have been on the outs for years. I guess they both would pretty much come in, do their shoots, then leave. He said that Richard was jealous that Aaron was gaining a lot of popularity and saw him as a threat to his kingdom. I don't know if that's true, but it sort of makes sense...let's face it, Richard is extremely full of himself.

Overall I enjoy the show if I happen to catch it. It's definitely not the worse one out there.

A friend told me Richard does not know how to work on cars ? That he used to be a printer ?
