He's not posing - he 's exactly what he says he is (not a mechanic, engineer, driver or restoration expert)- an investor with an eye toward anticipating the public's taste and making money off it.
Anyone who fits these 2 categories is OK with me:
1. makes money, but not from me
2. pays taxes
and yes, he's annoying

Just remember any press is is free advertising - acting stupid will get you a bunch of press! Slightly wrecking one demon - got a lot of free press!- I would not be surprised Ma-Mopar told him to go do something stupid of which Rawlings probably said "hold my beer - I will be right back" x2. Also, he definitely seems to be a bit on the douchy side but I know if a camera followed me 24-7 people would hate me too! Leah is awesome though. Didn't know her well until watching everything she's done with the Hoonigans.

carnival barker con man. one of many at the right place and time to cash in on the reality tv era. 5 yrs from now the "were are they now" show will interview them in their vans down by the river. Richard Rawlings was a self made millionaire long before reality TV came along.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
