Fast N’ Loud: Blood, Sweat and Beers

Description

Who IS the guy from Fast N’ Loud? He’ll tell you himself — bluntly. Before Gas Monkey Garage became a television empire, Richard Rawlings was a Dallas kid obsessed with cars, hustling through a string of jobs and learning the hard way that the only thing he’d ever be good at was turning wrenches and taking risks. Fast N’ Loud: Blood, Sweat and Beers, published by HarperCollins in 2015, is his memoir.

With characteristic bluntness, Rawlings tells how he built his garage from nothing, flipped rusted wrecks into six-figure showpieces, and caught the eye of the Discovery Channel — turning a chop shop into a brand. It is the American hustle in high gear. Rawlings holds nothing back — the failures are as entertaining as the wins.

For car lovers and reality-TV fans. Loud, fast, and fun — like its author.

With characteristic bluntness, he tells how he built his garage from nothing, how the Discovery Channel cameras found him, and what it really costs — in blood, sweat, and the occasional beer — to bet everything on yourself.

This isn’t a polished celebrity memoir. It’s loud, funny, and profane, full of the same swagger that made the show a hit: the deals, the deadlines, the cars, and the crew. For fans of the show, gearheads, or anyone who loves a good American bootstrap story, Fast N’ Loud delivers exactly what the title promises — a behind-the-scenes look at the man who turned horsepower into an empire, told in his own unfiltered voice.
