The Real Reason Gas Monkey Bar Sued Richard Rawlings
Subscribe for More!
There are mechanics, and there are businessmen; it is hard to state which of the categories Richard Rawlings belongs to; maybe he is a hybrid of both. Richard Rawlings is undoubtedly one of the brilliant minds in the automobile reality TV show industry, from establishing Gas Monkey Garage to premiering his show Fast N’ Loud; brilliant should be an understatement.
Richard’s brilliance doesn’t make him prone to controversies. In fact, he is one of the most featured celebrities on the news, and now he is getting sued by the company he founded. Let’s get to know the real reason why Gas Monkey Bar sued Richard Rawlings.
#GasMonkeyBar #RichardRawlings
Jesus just tell us why they sued not a life story FML
I used to watch the show but after a while got tired of the same old formula. - They find an old car. - Richard does doughnuts in the parking lot - Put a big motor in it. - OMG! Will they meet the deadline?
Pays $2,300 for the car and sells same car with new paint job for $48,000
Yep, real boring real fast and most of the time, they totally wreck up the car that they're working on. Same as the Foose bunch-getting overhauled. What a bunch of crap.
Dont forget the air ride suspension😅
Don't forget, make it a low rider with 19" rims & 2" profile tires. There's not much difference between most flippers. Yawn.
Lmao, he's not a mechanic at all, just an overblown ego with a good crew
Well said, Well said 👍
He was a firefighter and a police officer and then started his printing busines and sold that with a profit and then started GMG and then he went to the TV people to convince them to make a show around his garage, so he deserves respect!! And that ungratfull piece of shit aaron should not pray to some god but to richard because without him he would still be the next mechanic on the block! Aaron's net worth is in the millions, so find a garage that pay's a mechanic millions of dollars, so that ungreatfull bearded piece of trash should get his ass kicked for leaving GMG at the spot after his holiday! Yeah, the loads of hours were killing him. Well he a young dude and got payed a crap load of money, so he should have not worked 40 but 80 hours a week! Adn even then a normal mechanic would not become a milionaire! So you and all the haters are just jealous fackups who work their buts off for a louzy few hundred dollars a week, and then complain about the people who have made it in life! And for your information, Richard never claimed to be a mechanic, so now you know! And the only mistake he made is to start those venues, because his fame will last as long the show is on tv, and then the hype will be over and people will forget all about you, no matter if you are an average Joe of Elvis! So he should have sticked to his garage and close it when the tv was no longer interested and then retire on then many millions he made!
Whats the matter when you have millions of dollars? Remember you're watching him
Make something of yourself before attempting to criticize others
And he’s worth 20 mil on his ideas and antics. What’s your net worth?
As of October 2021, the overall record is 25 hours 39 minutes, with an average speed of 110 miles per hour (177 km/h), driven by Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt. Rawlings no longer holds the record.
They SMASHED Richards time.
not really surprising seeing as cars get faster all the time. oh and they changed the route knocking 100 miles off of it for 2021
Sounds like a biggest dickhead competition.
During COVID lockdown and shorter than real route@@3sons66
This is odd considering he is expanding GMG to truck stops nationwide with locations planned at PETRO/TA is NJ and TX next year
Truckstops used to sell his merchandise, but no more.
Richard has been sued so many times he has his own parking spot at court. Richard has lost the suits.
went to the GM bar years ago. over-rated. way over-rated. after 10 minutes when the novelty wears off, you are left with a bar/restaurant with food that was just a solid meh.
Happy new jear from north Germany to ya 🤘🏻😝🍺 Prost
He is just the boss, not actually a skilled mechanic.
I knew that restaurant wasn't going to make it as soon as i heard about it. I love gas monkey garage. So many tv stars have started restaurants and they have failed.
True. They never seem to work but somehow they talk all these celebrities into losing their money.
The dude who is posting this video has his facts all wrong.

Во все времена жадность порождает бедность.
You're not even American so how the fuck do you even know who He is everybody on here runs their fucking mouth But yet this man is opening up 2 more restaurants after he got rid of the other one
That is a very interesting attempt at saying Flaherty
i always read the replies before i watch a video. it saves me from wasting my time....lol
That shown ended for me when Aaron left.
I helped remodel the bar. I know these people. Way more to the Story. Also Richard just bought a go cart track In Lewisville for a new theme park bar. Lewisville needs it. I love all these people. Wish both parties the best. Russel is a super cool guy. I worked with him remodeling the bar. 8:55
good
I've ate at GMB
Richard is Good as Far Im Concerned.. GOOD LUCK RICHARD ✌️
Jesse James made him rawlings piss himself on television.
My TJ identifies as a Rubicon..juice me up, Raw-Dogg!
How do you get fired for "having an agreement" with your boss?😂 oh they were "reensated" haha
I love the knight rider themed episode .gosh he got to meet michael knight . A dream of mine to meet him
Knight Rider... what ever happened to all those GREAT shows??? Knight Rider was one of my favorites for sure. 👍🏽
Car guy in bar and food buzz didn't see it first time, can't say I told you so....
He’s a used car salesman. That should tell everyone enough about him!
My dad was a car salesman and a great guy, so I guess that makes you a cock sucker huh?
@@jamesmayes5498 no that makes his son a Queer also
Richard.. your boss. And this is your shop .. so they can .. get some of that right ? Have the best times my friend .. Duncan Oklahoma.
Money really is the root
Gas Monkey Garage is only about two miles from my home. I did not care for Richard then and still today. Sue is a sweetheart and he even did her dirty. I see why Arron quit the garage.. He was the brains of the operation and brought the cash only into Richard.
Aaron's mistakes were Aaron's problems. In one of my businesses, my store manager was so intrinsically involved in its success that when I realised I may lose him to a competitor I offered him 5% of the business with an option to buy a further 15%. No doubt he took the offer, and today that store is my most profitable with the least amount of oversight by me. It was proved that after Aaron left the show, it continued to succeed while he tried and failed to make a show of his own. I've visited GMG several years ago but found it boring as hell. Thank god for Six Flags
Could not have happened to a better guy…………..
He is nothing without Aaron
There are so many better mechanics out there that can make better motors on the fist try even females and almost everyone can remodel a car or truck better bill from Texas metal joe Martin Aaron could never build a frame from scratch or do air bags
Your on crack
Richard is still making millions and Aaron lost his show… Aaron is a top tier mechanic, nothing against him. Richard is straight business. Handles the deals and comes up with build ideas.
Ah Richard Richard !!
What happened to the new gas monkey in 2022 that was going to open
This guy is shady and I have always felt that way. Jesse James thinks he is a punk and I have to agree.
Jessie James?
That’s a pot calling the kettle hot
I'm at Richard Rawlings back in 2016 at lucasville raceway the guys a dick that's the nicest thing I can say about him Trump and Biden together are still nicer than this a******
All car guys are shady, period
He's a clown
He is not a mechanic l. He is an entrepreneur whos business is mechanics essentially. Big difference
This is very true he's a journeyman mechanic that'll turn a few wrenches here and there but by trade he is not you are absolutely correct.
I like Richard . He’s a total narcissist and makes no bones about it!
Bro no he’s not people have no idea what narcissists actually act
@@chad8251 He has a sense of humor about it always adjusting his hair
Richard has always had money . He was lucky to born into a family who has money. He has always been able to get whatever he wants. Thats just how he is. He's never been without or struggled to get whatever he wanted. Nothing wrong with that. But Richard doesn't have a clue about reality for the other 90% of the people. He doesn't know what he doesn't know.
He definitely ain't a mech... Only time his fingers get oil on them is when he's slickin his hair back...
he did a paper route as a kid he made all his money 💰 when he was young 😂
Richard Rawlings work hard for everything he has, He was even responsible for helping Chip Foose to succeed in the auto industry The show Overhaulin was a dead show till Richard came on it & help Chip out & he did it for FREE
@@6996brandyl Which only means he didn't need the money because he already had more than enough funds...just saying.
@@EtwasGenuss Some people just don't need money in their life & Richard is one of them, he gets by ,by his good looks
If you’re not getting written up at work or getting fired or sued you ain’t doin nuthin
Old information....current Cannonball run,which will probably never be beaten, as it was done during lockdown,is around 25hrs,6hrs quicker,all on Vin-Wiki,they were targeting sub-24hrs,wasn't possible...Mustang V8,with a massive fuel cell,cruising at 189mph in the mid-west!
Car guy who doesn’t even build the cars
Cant decide if i cant stand him or counts customs more.🤣😜
That's how my wanna be manager acts selfish and shady spending company money
Sounds like a serious cat fight that costed alot in legal fees can’t we all just get along
He belongs to the category of "tool"
Dude is so full of him self… he acts like someone who has never been in front of a camera before.. his energy is cheesy.. he’s his own best friend.. But if you are so bad that someone like Aaron wants to do his own thing.. that speaks volumes about his personality
Let alone being married three times.
I met him before he got famous. Seemed like a cool guy but then again I was a potential customer at the time. Fame can really screw people up regardless.
I honestly felt the same way until I listened to him on Joe Rogan Totally changed my mind on him. I thought he was hilarious and seemed like a fun person to be around. He did kind of explain how scripted everything was on the show and how much input the producers had. Hard to base an opinion on someone from a TV show.
Yeah if you've done what he's done you have a right to criticize but until then I don't know what to tell you
He just knows the right people is all.
An entertainer with millions of entertained viewers.
I've never heard the name Flaherty so poorly butchered
Wow did not know Gas Monkey was still around though that show died off years ago.
Gas Monkeys war eine sehr schöne Show aus besseren Zeiten!
Too much of that yayo is what it sounds like.
Think you had his fingers in two many pie's, think he took much on, should have concentrated on one brand/ project and excelled. I don't don't blame the guy for trying, he is partly a victim of circumstance and mis fortune I think. Gas monkey was a winner.
Don't like counts customs either..
Richard rawlings too smart do watever yr heart desires you have many talents l like yr G m G cool lol
He's a PUNK a rich one at that 😂😂😂
The current cannonball record isn’t in richards name and it’s like 26 hours
Just written that 25hrs something
I want to know if this guy even has talent to restore anything or does he rely on others to do the real work behind his money.
I've never seen him do ANY physical labor on a vehicle.
@@craigpennington1251 so ur mad because he's smart and resourceful? Throw a rock in any direction and u'll hit an uber talented craftsman/artist that's starving, the vision to package and make that talent financially viable is what makes the difference so stop being salty
You should see the crap they are doing on his youtube channel, I don't watch it anymore.
@@phillipmusinguzi7614 so you think because someone noticed he does not do any physical work on his cars make him salty? i asked a question and he gave me a answer that was to the point. As for your idea of a talented craftsman going hungry shows how dumb you are.
Why don’t you just order a fart bomb?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Second hand car salesman!
Rawlings is a car salesman. Not much else.
Richard cares all about him self I do t even watch it on TV anymore .
No. And they shouldn't be using he brand name.
What I hate about this guy is how he lowballs other people when he buys cars. Then boasts about it afterwards like he did something special. Takes credit for other peoples work. You get the picture. Out of touch like other comments have stated to say the least.
He's good at crashing a Challenger into a wall.
I like watching Danny koker show he's a cool guy. Count's kustoms
5:35 if you don't want to listen to 5 minutes of BS to get to the point.
Poor women and married him didn't get no love just the chorizo😮
Wheres the xchool bus
I HAD to sit by & watch Rawlings, as my ex ALWAYS watched the show. I always felt that RR thought (thinks) he is far superior to every one else. Very arrogant. Very. And, no, .... He's definitely NOT that good looking. Seriously. RR really needs to get over himself, his 💰 money, & everything else he believes makes him such an awesome guy. 😅
Gas monkey live was a great venue. Gas monkey bar across the road was shit.
I love the show the rest is a act for tv Ratings.
these videos really bug me, 'THE REAL REASON GAS MONKEY BLAH BLAH BLAH ' so i think interesting, then it's Richard Rawlings was born on etc, who gives a fxxk when he was born, i clicked on here to hear about the bar and not his life story or about sacking Jordan
🤣😆😂💯👍
I agree
First wife married second wife. Show ends.
its not pronounced Flaherty its pronounced Flarety, the 'H' is silent!
I love Russell he was real Richard is arrogant
He doesn’t seem like he has the personality to keep anything long
Hello Richard, did i read that right, were you born on March 30th, 1968? I was as well. I also noticed that you are left handed, guess what, so am I! Its a small world, ain't it?
I think that Richard has every right to protect his trademark, and those who thought they could make money off his sweat, let them try to prove otherwise.
his sweat???? HA! that's funny
@amcalca1 You ever run a business? There's more to it than being hands on. I've done everything in my industry and the stuff you don't see or can put hands on are just as important as the physical aspects of a business.
@@baldbastardo yes i understand the economics of running a business....that has zero to do with richard running his mouth and not being able to back it up
@amcalca1 A person who runs a business shouldn't have to physically sweat unless they are single operators doing manual labour. I own several successful businesses, and I have sweated but not from busting my ass. It was from not being able to sleep, thinking, 'how am I going to pay my workers, mortgage, bills', etc. There are times I'd rather be swinging a shovel than having to worry about me, my family, and employees who rely on me for the same reasons. Only simpletons think managers should sweat like them when they don't sweat like managers
@@onpointoriginal congrats on all of your epic huge successful businesses you special little guy......richard is still a coward no matter what angle you look at it from....he openly cowered to the challenge from big chief and it sounds like you are in the same boat as richard if you can't see that
Aaron packed up his beard and hit the road.....
And Good for Richard.. RR Didnt Skip a Beat when Aron left
Cool Fact......Richard was a Paramedic/Firefighter in his early life prior to getting into the car buisness.
He was that at a age....where he still didn't know anything in life, he says 18,19,20yrs old?
This PUNK couldn't have been either a fire fighter or a paramedic! No way SHE would have stayed doing such MAN'S work and mess up her hair and pedicured nails! Lmfknao Hahaha!
No he took the test and passed it but never worked one day. That's when he and Aaron took off for California to work an episode of Overhaulin, Foose wanted to keep Aaron but he didn't want Richard at all and Aaron choose not to stay because Richard was his ride back to Texas.
Don't care for a millionaire beating down an average car guy on his price for his beloved car that he has to sell to make ends meet .
He got sued cause of his tight jeans with the white titanic rope stitching and his goofy shoes
Carnival barker's are pitchmen from the get go......his philosophy is.... There's a ass for every seat.,.. Sales is a tough racket earn or burn.
No
SO WHAT HE’S GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES ALL I HEAR IS BARK BARK BARK
His gop. A. Commie. Lock him up
My opinion of Richard is that he is a jerk. I used to watch his show but when he fired two of my favorite mechanics, I stopped watching.
Brilliant mind = Richard Rawlings, I don't think so....
I tried to watch the first couple of episodes. They quickly devolved into every other conflict show. Change the subject, insert the conflict. Cakes, Choppers, dress making, or cooking...same B.S. My profession is restoring cars and '70s Japanese 4-cylinder bikes. NO ONE can rebuild, paint and re-upholster a vehicle in a week. Try and get your car back from a painter on time. Never happen. Most auto upholsterers, learned their trade in prison. They do NOT care. I have waited for weeks, for a single part, to complete a customer's vehicle. Anyone that isn't insulted by these shows, is the reason they make them.
that's not true at all, if you use reputable people you can easily get a car done in a week if you schedule it right. You also have to remember that he has own paint and body shop too.
@@TheREALOC1972 ...and I have a flying pig. Congrats! You are their target audience. You bought a T-shirt, didn't you, for $29.95 + shipping?
Used to watch the show when it first came, small garage. As they expanded I lost interest......too much Richard ego.
He seems like he is just a drunk 24/7.
"Fla-HER-ty"?
I hated that show, i would get a kick every time he lost money on a car. The gasser and the Lincoln continental.
Homie what world do you live in he has no idea how to fix, fabricate, build or customize anything. He has no idea how to even hold a wrench or turn a screw anyone who ever has worked on any machine or car can tell within one second. He is simply a tv star.
He is FAR from the record holder in cannonball… 29:04 beat him and I think two faster times sense then
Current record is 25:39, though people don’t like it cause it was done during covid
Richard is a pos. He even tried to cheat when he had the bet with Street Outlaws. It was soooo satisfying to watch them spank him.
Gas Monkey Bar and Grill has terrible food for the price and the worst tasting Nachos ive ever encountered..... Doesnt help that the whole neighborhood around it has gone downhill or out of business...
He works with tools...and he is one.
WHO CARES ITS TELEVISION , ITS MAKE BELIEVE !
I met him when I was in the club life one of my brothers was the one that dumped the cowshit at his shop Jesse James is the same way he was the one that called and asked us to dump it on him I told the brothers to let him dump it his self they went ahead and let my brother Jake do it I wouldn't buy nothing from them
It the end of the day it's just a TV show that does car's like so many others eg black t-shirt,, shorts, tattoos, beards etc. I always strange people would pay a lot for a recovered wreck but there you go. Richard isn't any difference to all business guys and made Gas Monkey, Arron's show is so flat.Consider it a mechanical version of the Monkees
Quit watching when Aaron left
hes a weirdo who was born into money. hes not a mechanic at all. and his cannonball record was broken very soon after he set it. he wasnt the first to do, and its been done a hundred times since. dude is honestly kind of sleezy
His ego got the best of him. Big egos with money will always bring you down.
