Funny when they tried to work one in his parents driveway.
Tornadoes and power failure.
They were used to working outside in So Cal in the summer.
Flip flops and no gloves in the episodes are killing me.

They don't get any better than this.
Give the car away.
My wife and I watched them all when they ran on youtube.
Haven't seen any since then.

That was the excuse, yep.
Funny thing is, there are literally dozens of really good auto-based channels on YT, all done by "amateurs",
who of course make money off views (ad revenue sharing with YT).
With literally a million views + per episode, I'd say RK was raking it in as well - maybe not as much as
the parent corporation would have liked, but surely enough to keep going.
I think ultimately the channel took off bigger and faster than they expected and started taking up too
much of their time vs. revenue realized and a business decision was made.

Hey, nothing against making a buck - it was just unseemly that what brought them to the party to begin
with, what made them famous - their humble beginnings and loyal viewers on YT - was left in the dust.
