The breakout star of Discovery's hit automotive restoration show Fast N'
Loud takes readers on an entertaining ride through his wild life and
behind the scenes of his hit show in this memoir and automotive
handbook, revving with outrageous details and jaw-dropping stories, and
injected with the quick-witted, foul-mouthed charm viewers love.
"If we're gonna have fun, it better have a motor!"
In Fast N' Loud, Richard Rawlings pushes into high gear, sharing the
story of his rise to success, his show, and the automotive know-how that
has made him famous. He begins with his own story--how he went from flat
broke to a seat at the table with some of history's most iconic car
guys. His road to the top is full of dangerous twists and hilarious
turns, with a few precipitous cliffs in between, including getting shot
defending his beloved 1965 Mustang fastback from carjackers, blowing out
of town Fear-and-Loathing style, and picking up chicks and vagrants
along the way.
Rawlings then takes readers behind the scenes of Fast N' Loud, the
series, sharing details on everything from the toughest car to restore
to the easiest, his favorite restorations, travel and war anecdotes, and
the best and worst cars to make it to the small screen. He finishes with
a handy guide for classic and antique car enthusiasts that includes
insider tricks of the trade. Want to know how to find a Model-T in mint
