Fast N' Loud

Motor mastermind Richard Rawlings and mechanical prodigy Aaron Kaufman search for forgotten and neglected vintage cars. They need big projects and big profits to keep the doors open at Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, TX.

Fast N' Loud (2012-2020) is an American reality car restoration series created for Discovery, running thirteen seasons and roughly 133 episodes. Motor mastermind Richard Rawlings (Richard Rawlings) and mechanical prodigy Aaron Kaufman (Aaron Kaufman) hunt forgotten, neglected vintage automobiles and bring them back to life inside their Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, Texas. The engine of each episode is simple and concrete: the pair buys a battered classic, scopes out its hidden problems, and must rebuild it on a deadline and budget, because big projects and big profits are what keep the doors of the shop open. Each season is a string of standalone builds rather than a continuing storyline, so viewers can dip into any episode. Rawlings and Kaufman's banter, rivalry and friendly ribbing carry much of the mood, and the tone stays upbeat, cozy and hands-on, with the grind of welding, engine work and bargaining giving the show its texture. Occasional guest appearances from racing figures add a bit of celebrity sparkle. Fans of Overhaulin', Pawn Stars and American Pickers will find the same blend of workshop craft, trading and personality-driven reality television here, a hot rod hangout that rewards casual attention as much as devoted car fans.

Viewers broadly enjoy the car restoration and deal-making action, with an audience rating that reads as positive.
