Have you ever seen a shaved monkey? (You're welcome, if you're curious...) Well, get ready, because the next season of "Fast N' Loud" will be without one of their most iconic stars, Aaron Kaufman. Yep, you heard right: after 13 long years, the bearded wonder is officially leaving Gas Monkey Garage (GMG). Richard Rawlings, Aaron's GMG partner, released an official statement confirming the news. He expressed his appreciation for everything Aaron has put into GMG, but reiterated that the show will go on and that the team "will continue to crank out killer rides week after week."
Aaron might have left Gas Monkey Garage, but you can still find him here on Driving Line!
