in-valuable experience, building a derby car at 18, I'm a car guy, had a bunch of cars, 2 years of auto tech in high school, out of all my grease monkey red neck country-fied friends, never known anyone to ever build a derby car, so freaking cool

While we don't regularly wrench on cars at our house, I've got a kid that's close to Gracie's age. He should be going for his Eagle scout Board of Review next month. I don't know how many times he's said to me, "Dad, help!" and I've replied, "I am helping you by letting you figure it out on your own." I see Paul follows the same philosophy.

Paul is a good guy! love watching recoveries, playing, or building stuff. It's all good content.

Most people are so hung up and secretive about how much money they make. Its refreshing that you even talk about it ...... not that I really care about someone's income ...... you're clearly a hard worker and you deserve whatever the market will bear ...... which makes your kindness (in helping someone for free) even more righteous. Way to go Paul!

As sad as it may feel that people come and go, thats life guys. The thing that speaks volumes of this channel is that no matter how good of a crew member leaves, the channel keeps going strong. All of the "past guys" have been absolutely brilliant, and us fans need to understand that they have plans and aspirations of their own. Godspeed to all Fab Rats, past, present and future ❤

@@clivehorridge It's kind of hard to tell. The Navy took me out to California in '73. I stayed there until '79, then moved to the Midwest for schooling. When I moved back in '82, even in that short period of time, I was shocked at how California had gone from some of the most unsafe vehicles on the road, to where it seemed like everybody had a new car. And those were high inflation times. I know; I bought my first car from a dealer, and my first new truck (1/4 Toyotas over the years) during that time. People had discovered debt, and most people were in debt up to their eyebrows. It was disconcerting to drive around Southern California and see thousands and tens of thousands of dollars of automobile - either off the lot or, in some demographics, custom - sitting in the driveways of not much more than shacks. I was born poor, on the wrong side of the tracks; grew up poor, and was hand-to-mouth for much of my young adulthood, including the military. So, just because people look like they're not living that way, many of them are, to keep up appearances. Especially in California. If you notice, many of them have California plates, and like that one lady said, "the company will be happy" that Paul reinstalled the tow hitch cover. Which says that a lot of those cars are rentals; same as they are on Matt's channel. You don't have to be well-off to rent a car. Plus, as a former auto mechanic, people will do things to rentals they'd never consider doing to their own vehicles - including taking them places they weren't designed to go.

I hope you are getting enough to keep doing most of this stuff without changing for it. I have been stuck many times and I have helped many others get out and never had to pay or got paid. Doing good deeds is the reward of being a good person.

My dad was the same way. He bought a garage in '69 and I started working with him on his first day. He taught my brother and I a lot. He made us fix our own cars and anything we did in the garage he always checked our work and pointed out our mistakes and showed us how to do things right, 53 years later I finally retired as a mechanic. He taught us that if a job was worth doing, it was worth doing right the first time. I carried that with me through out my life and lived by it. He also told us never to follow in his footsteps and become mechanics. That was probably the only time I didn't listen to him. I consider myself very fortunate to have had a dad like him. I'm sure Paul and him could have gotten into a little mischief together. LOL

The smile on Paul’s face when the engine started was priceless

You guys are genuine people! You could charge anything really to rescue folks out there because most people in those situations feel helpless, they don't know what to do and you all show up and handle it. Not charging for the save is most righteous of you!!

THANK YOU! For sharing your recovery charge--you're the only off road recovery crew willing to share this info on You Tube. Yeah I said it! I get that every recovery is different based on distance, equipment and manpower needed but having even a general idea of a recovery cost may help people realize they don't want to get stuck

It's good to see both of your sons working together with their Dad. I know the young fella and your daughter don't participate in the videos but what a fine family. I hope all of their dreams came true.

For the Record: You Gatta Change what you Gatta Change. Time, Gas and Wear and Tear on the Vehicles. As for Progress to the Channel… It will be just FINE 😎👍✅

It does make sense that the wood trailer and truck in the ditch cost something. I believe you said $500? That seems like a bargain price to me for the amount of work.

No matter who steps up to help out, Fabrats will always be a great family channel building cool projects! Love to see the boys learn more in the shop but I understand wanting to have a strong background. This is a dream job for so many people 🙏🏻

So what you are saying is, viewers are helping pay for recoveries? That’s so awesome!!! Makes me feel like I did a tiny bit of good today. Thank you. 🙏 7:46

$500 is a pretty good deal for that snow recovery. I paid that much for a simple winch job with no drama. Justified purchasing a winch for future use. Of course haven't been stuck since but it has helped other people.

I remember the OG days of Fab Rats: Paul working after work and weekends on his, his friends, and his customer's vehicles. Papa Dar asleep on a tattered old chair. The kids with their RC cars. Paul scoring treasure at the dump to take home and fix up. The Mrs. running a hair salon out of their home. Testing flex in front of your parents' home. How times have changed! Congratulations on your success; never forget your roots.

$500 was a steal for that snow recovery! Had a friend that had to pay $600 to a roadside recovery service to pull his truck and snowmobile trailer (larger fully enclosed one) out of a montana ditch when it slid off the road!

Is it me, or does Paul seem a little giddy / excited while he is filming the boys? I think he is enjoying their interest in what he does and what his hobbies are.

Awesome video! I really enjoy how you teach your boys if they want to derby, they have to do the work. You will be there to help them. Thank you for sharing 👌 😊

Good morning Paul I respect how you are in the instructor role letting Jace and Landon do the work themselves in my opinion the best way to learn is by actually doing it. Have you guys thought about buying mics? It would help with the audio issue when you are traveling to do recoveries so people can hear you better. Just a suggestion

I like how you realize people that are stuck are stressed cause they can’t use their vehicle and charging for a stress moment seems counter intuitive to your service really like that part of it and Paul you’re doing an excellent job in my opinion forward it’s worth…. watching you teach the young and helping out everyone it’s golden man

My coworker just left for a new job too. Not going to lie. The place feels quite and like it’s missing something. It will take time to get into a new grove but watching Paul work is just awesome.
