Gas Monkeys the same Morons that dumped over $20,000+++ into a 1978 Ford Fairlane put a $8,000 Chrome paint job on it customized it with Gas Monkey Logos and made it a drift car ?? At auction highest bid was $7500....
Also, I am no drift fan, by any stretch of the imagination... but I think 'morons' is a bit harsh.. They tried to think outside the box.. Tried to do something out of their element.. They both admitted to knowing nothing about drifting (which despite what people think appears to actually take some amount of skill) Aaron said he had never built a drifter... So they took a shot.. Heck, its their money, they can spend it however they want... I personally wouldnt have done that, but thats what makes us all unique... i will still give Kudo's for giving it a shot.. And they lost their asses on it.. My only thing was, I thought they picked the wrong kind of car to make into a drifter...but then again, I think that was part of the point.. I get the impression money isnt the be all end all to them.. look at the money they dumped into the derby car.. (with a pretty penny spent on wheels and tires for a car that was gonna get smashed) and they werent even able to use the car.... They seem to enjoy cars, they enjoy flipping them, and they actually seem to be genuinly happy and getting a kick out of what they do for a living... god bless them, cause I dont enjoy sh*t about what I do for a living.. LOL ...
