You are right. That is why Aaron quit. He disagreed with the quality they were producing. Richard negotiated 1 month turnarounds.. that is doable in some instances when you buy parts and put it together, Aaron did not want to do that anymore..

[@hectorsolis8724]

Aaron deserves every bit of the success he has attained.

[@earlstacey2709]

I think when they were small, it was more like a partnership. After they grew and demands of that growth took hold, the situation turned into boss/employee and Aron wasn't much for being employee. You could see it the last several builds he did before leaving, more pressure from Richard, less freedom, shorter build times, bigger risks. It wasn't going to last forever burning everyone out non-stop.

[@huntjl88]

That was on Discovery. Watched some of Richard's KZbin content. He looked and acted like he was much happier not having Discovery's hands all in his business.

[@robertmoran4841]

HE WANTED TO RUN THINGS, AND SPEND THE OTHER GUY'S MONEY LIKE IT WAS HIS.

[@redphantom70]

Yep...When they did the second Hot Wheels build. Aaron wanted to paint the van purple and call it Hyperpotamus. Richard said no, I want it solid orange. That seem to be the last straw for Aaron and he left in the middle of the build. I don't blame Aaron at all. Richard treats everyone like sh*t and started up on Aaron. The whole deal with gas monkey was Richard does the bussiness side and Aaron Does the creative side and all shop functions. Richard screwed over Aaron. I really wanted to see the Hyperpotamus build the way Aaron imagined it with a purple circus style Hippopotamus on a unicycle.. Hot Wheels management seemed kind of pissed that Aaron didn't build it. Blame this one on Richard.

[@Almane-ri8vy]

So I have pictures but we ran into Aaron in Dallas at a motorcycle shop. He told us he had already left gas monkey and thus was 2 months before it aired. Pulled up in a badass slammed chevy and talked to my dad about harleys for a good 30 mins. It blew my mind to see a famous person so humble and layed back. Long story short, he said it became to much about the show and cameras then about the work and business. Shows spice things up

Aaron was the man who made the machines great that Richard found. While no one has said this, I believe Aaron felt like he was worth more than he was making and decided it was time he spread his wings and reap the reward. I hope he has a great career. He has the talent.

By reputation, Richard has always been pretty much as you see him. Even back in his Dallas cop days!

It’s like getting 18$ a hour to weld Then seeing your boss is charging the customer 120$ a hour for the welding to the customer Many (small town business bosses do this) The boss will talk about the (big box stores being the devil but will do exactly what the big box stores do to their workers) Scruples morals and ethics are few and far between these days 🤷🏻‍♂️

@joel....my friend, you can't get pissed off at what customers are charged versus what you get paid. I am self employed myself. There's a formula for all businesses to function/survive.... period! If you want a job we have to mark everything up to pay for you, AND THE MULTIPLE ITEMS OF OVERHEAD!!!!! it's called "running a business" .....and my response to guys like yourself is always the following......if ya don't like it, and ya think it's easy, go start your own gig

Why did U LET THE BEST MECHCIAN. GO AWAWAY ??? HE IS THE BEST SMARTEST EVER!!!

[@CaptainK007]

Aaron Koffman. The thinking man’s Rick. (Orange county choppers) 😂

[@caspaabriel4794]

Aaron struck me as humble, really bright and a incredibly skilled metal fabricator/mechanic. I thind he'd be a good boss, none of the ego bs. Other comments confirm. Thanks keep up the good work.

He got tired of being slave driven...

Who really cares, couldn't stand the guy myself, never watched any of the new stuff, didn't really like Richard Rawlings, he just loved himself to much, wish they would take his reruns off.

[@Doughboi42069]

I’ve met him and he’s a really nice guy, he made a video for my dad when I did some work for his house

[@ascco-automotive9328]

by the second or third episode of fast n loud , and American chopper I thought the same thing .. " This guy is going to be something really cool once he gets rid of the other guy whos holding him back ".

Quality works takes time, but time is money. There are no solutions, there are only compromises. That’s life and business.

[@GeoffStJohn-kx4fo]

I think it was quite simple and it happens all of the time. The Band simply broke up. The lead guitarist finally needed a break from the lead singer. One was the artist, the other was the performer/salesman. Doesn't mean they hate each other, they just needed to do their own thing.

As a fan of the show from the beginning. I would say he left for the reason he stated in his official letter to the fans.

[@originalsusser]

I thought I would miss Aaron more that I did, F&L continued moving forward & continued the path it had set from the beginning & to me remained as entertaining as ever

[@MrStupidpuppy]

Richard Rawlings admitted to the fact that GMG was a garage fabricated for TV.... Aaron was the mechanic and Richard was the money man... They approached Discovery with the porch for the show...

[@tommypadilla-cn5zl]

Fast n Loud restricted Aaro from creating the cars n trucks he is capable to billed! I love watching Aaro n Richard trying their hardest to take their creativity farther then Discovery would allow them to go! Rock on Aaron n Richard❤❤❤❤

[@LivinWith3M]

It was a great show. Love the channel btw. I’m a new subscriber!!!!

[@brofessormex]

Cashed in his chips and Walked out of the casino

[@VirtanenDK]

Didn't care about the video at all, we have heard it all before. I must admit, that i ONLY pressed play, so i could see if Aron really looked like the picture, he showed.
