WHY WAS DAREN FIRED? 

They were good friends and I was always sure they ran off and did meth together when they said they were working on his car.

Work it out, man. Dangerous to be around.

@@andysaunders3708 So are most car guys if you screw with their baby

@@bradstephens4268 if you know someone does that, move the vehicle (back to your own property preferably)

@@jaydawg7 True but you don't leave your car at a workshop and expect parts to be stolen either.

@@bradstephens4268 that's why I said what I said. Friends or not, I would have moved it. I left a car at a (former) friend's house for a while (when I was working on the other side of the country)& he sold the new good tires off it almost immediately, by the time I found that out... he was trying to sell the whole car as a lost title car... I called sheriff's office a tow truck

After parts came up missing the 2nd time you would have thought anyone with any brains whatsoever would have moved his car out of there. Some people just need drama in their life

@@kabbey30 I was thinking that Darren's car was at his own house in his own garage. Yes, Darren seemed to be different than the rest. Irritating.

Darren was an instigator and loved to cause problems, and... his car should be at his house.

I don't like Mark. He thinks cause he's the boss he can steal from his employees, treat em like shit, and get away with it. Typical egotistical ass.

Mark is the owner, Daren is the employee.

Mark may know what goes where but as a human being he's a low life! Like you said do that to his cars and he would have had a stroke after throwing a fit on the floor. If he took parts off my car he'd never do it again because it's hard to do without fingers! Lol

@@FargoMan50 p

It was just added drama

I came up against this same thing with my suburban.... My lot, your storage and wallet, my insurance, my parts, my car..... And a gentleman's agreement that it will be replaced if I need it to speed up $$$$$$ for the SHOP!

Yep, yep, and hell yeah. On point here

go watch all girls garage

Drama is what producers think we want to see, which shows how little they really know about muscle car enthusiasts. It's all about numbers not quality.

Agreed. Guy was complete trash. One of those personalities that any man or women would just bitch slap him. Yuck, Darren made it damn near impossible to watch. I don’t mind the show now and tune out mark antics but when it was at the beginning Darren was the reason myself and several friends said we legit watch this show for the cars and what little info mark spills that he’s clearly googled before airing. It’s hilarious how highly he thinks of himself when real guys like mike Mancini of American Muscle Car Restorations, New England Automotive Restorers “N.E.A.R” who do Oldsmobile and mopars only with some pontiac I believe, and Dave dudek to name a few who build gold standard cars and are low key word of mouth shops with 2-3 year wait to get in. You get what you pay for. How bout the episode where he’s screaming “give me a gun”. What a stupid retarded thing to say, talk about hostile work environment, and goin postal, that guy was a Liability and disaster. Now we all know it’s all or at least mostly 80-85% scripted but his character was a disaster and mix that with his real personality bleeding through and he makes napoleon syndrome quirky “that obnoxious guy” mark seem like a saint. Glad he was fired or released or whatever. That douche never belonged on RU-vid let alone TV.

Same here. Seeing a opposing side of Mark was very entertaining

It was not a prop the man lost his car in real life and didn’t get paid anything to be on this show

He was a great whiner, as well.

@@kabbey30 grade A

If Darren didn’t get paid for being on the show it’s his own fault

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😇🤪🤪🤪🥶🥵😱😡🤯😩

Oh yes it does...

How does it

More Fake Reality TV😂😂😂😂

I so agree! I mean it is suggestive at best but I'm still not sure what was the final blow

It suggests why he left. But it never said why he was fired

Click bait

How many times has this 1show been on utoob and lost count of repeats on tv too.

$

Daren is a very smart guy and knows a ton about mopars

Yeah, I always thought it was kinda staged. With a lot of these so-called reality shows, what's reality & what's B.S.?

The show has gotten away from its original idea. They rarely show anything about cars, it's all about Mark wanting his own 1970's sitcom, which is far from funny

As he presents on the show,,, and have known several through life just like him, found just to hard to even be around, imo gyc is better without him

CLICK BAIT

@@rapidtransit8373 ABSOLUTELY agree 100% There's a trend with guys like Mark and Tony D. If THEY are buying it from YOU, it's worth nothing,,, if YOU are buying from THEM, well, it must be gold plated. There's a guy in Utah that can speak to this phenomenon with Mark, just as I can with Tony DiAgostino who wanted me to sell him my very perfect 68 Hemi Dual Quad intake manifold for 200.00 at the Hillyard Ohio swapmeet. I had 500.00 on it. And really, didn't want to sell it but needed the money. DiAgostino was shytty with me about taking less for the manifold and considering his tendency to jack prices up on everyone else, I didn't want to sell it to him at all. So, a guy that all of us in the hobby know as 'Jerry the old man' came by and asked what Tony was being a jerk about,, my buddy, Paul Wilson, told Jerry the turns of events,,, and he said if Tony had been so persistent it was because he really wanted it. So, Jerry gave me 500 for it, and he told Tony he needed 800 for it, when Tony came back around and saw it was gone off my table. Tony got all blustery and cussing, but then he shelled out 750 to Jerry and Jerry took it, winking at me and Paul. Paul got to laughing out loud which pissed Tony off that much more. Later that afternoon, Tony had my intake laying out on HIS table for 1500.00. That's just the way those guys are. So, Darren can probably tell basketloads of the SAME kinda stories on Mark. Those guys that have to be the big cheese are all the same. I don't begrudge Tony or Mark their successes,,, but neither one of them will ever get a chance to buy my SuperBird or my Bobby Issac's K&K Insurance Hemi Nascar #71 Charger. They've made their place in the scheme of things. And I won't contribute to their kind of 'look at me' business practices. It's a shame Worman gets off on rubbing Darren's name around even after he's been gone. Tells you allot about what his 'code' really is.

@@patrickwayne3701 We've got the same low class of people in the soda memorabilia collecting hobby. The Coca-Cola collectors convention was in my area several years ago and a couple of the big collectors gave me their sob stories to get better prices and then they immediately tried to flip them for three times what they paid me.

@@glenbard657 those who act this way make it hard for less advantaged folks to be able to experience the abject JOY of having something nice like a one owner SuperBird,,, or a pop machine they remember from their childhood at the country store where their beloved grandparents took them when they were little.... Sadly, even those memories are markers of times VERY long gone in this modern age of preying on children and grifting old people out of their savings. The carpetbaggers and grifters have always been there trying to cheat regular people, no matter what the goods in question might be. I adored my Grandparents on both sides and I have collected all their former cars as a way to keep them alive in my heart... when I am gone,,, I am sure Worman and Tony will be all about trying to lie my family members out of my SuperBird or my Bobby Issac's Hemi Charger NASCAR,,, but they will not be successful.

@@glenbard657same thing in vintage Mx . I’m a Gen X age guy and the baby boomer aged people weren’t as happy when I got into it on early 90s. There’s some who buy a racer build bike for 1800 , give it an aerosol overhaul and sell it for 6k .

I am feeling you here!! I don't really care for how Darren was handled myself in this respect

I agree, Mark has no right to remove parts from another persons property without their consent. Mark would/should be considered a workforce "bully"! His disrespect for his employees is atrocious! This is reinforced by the fact that his closest family employees have left the business. Hello Mark, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee burning!

...then pay some goddamn storage fees

@@kabbey30 you think Mark paid Darren so much that he wasn't benefitting from Darren's Mopar specific knowledge as a worker there? And thus, Darren couldn't have been getting some form of compensation by his car being inside there? These are all things that we won't know unless a tell all book or documentary is done by someone not in Mark's camp....

If I were Daren, that car would have been at home. In a garage, where only me can work on it.

@@chuckythedoll4815 I specifically remember an episode where Mark sent Josh over the Daren's house to retrieve a part from the car which was in Daren's garage.

@@clyde1111 agreed.

Yeah this is very true. Never touch or take anything from something you do not own. With that said, wasn't there an episode where Mark rebuilt Darren's car? I swear i remember seeing an episode like that. If i remember correctly was the work done for free, or really close to?

Just remember...this is 'scripted reality'. As with many other shows, how it's edited can tell entirely different stories.

Because Daren is an out-of -control lunatic.

If Darren was all that concerned about his car he would have taken it somewhere else and stored it far away from marks sticky fingers.

@@richardstoc actually that's a fair statement but my question is why does Mark think it's ok to steal?

@@bradstephens4268 because he's entitlement minded. He thinks that because he's the boss and ultimately, he's paying the rent/mortgage payments,,, he is justified because the car is 'on his property' entitling him to take parts from it, but a guy named Ken Mosier was doing stuff like that in Indianapolis and he got sued and lost to several customers he ripped off by taking their original parts from their cars while he had them in his shop. It's a big big deal. And Darren was justified in being opposed to the original parts that made up his car being taken away, rendering his car, a made up 'tribute car' with a bunch of repro parts on it. Guys like Worman doing that and broadcasting it, should give ANYONE pause about taking anything truly original to their shop for fear of the same thing happening to their own vehicle.

Taking parts off someones else's car is unacceptable.

Daren got screwed lost his car

Mark has no personality? Lol ok

Mark personality is someone who thinks he is funny. The guy is smart but fails to realize that his stupid antics are annoying. He acts like he some car god but isn't because others do the work. No wonder why the one guy left. Probably had enough of Mark's rude attitude.

Personality enough to get a TV show.. a hugely successful one at that, along with a thriving business.. I'll guarantee you that NO ONE cares if you think he's funny or not.. lol.. He's doing far better than you are.. so..

@@swimmster8647 They're just jealous because they don't have his job and money.

No personality?? WTF show are you watching?

My car would be on a tow truck going home, Mark would be in an ambulance going to a hospital, and I'd be in the back of a police car ...

I wonder if it went both ways over time...and Darren stole parts off Marks cars out in the lot here and there?

@@starhope9630 nice. You know so much about Darren we see. This stuff is the perfect example of why history is always written by the victor,,, the regular stiff never gets a break.

@@patrickwayne3701 You should note that the comment begins with "I wonder"...and ends in a question mark. I was only questioning what happened...and simply mentioning what could have been a possibility - not stating anything as fact.

Look deeper into the guy's attitude.

@@andysaunders3708 I know he was kind of a knob but it was funny when they were stealing sh!t off his car all the time

@@markskonecki2050 You think it is funny to steal parts off someone's property ( vehicle)??? What if that was your vehicle they were taking rare original parts off. Yes you can reproduce the parts but then it makes the car less original and its value drops. So them stealing parts is far from funny.

@@avenger1888 aww relax Nancy it's a f**king tv show it's all staged my god!!! It's a f**king reality show this shit is all setup my god!!! You don't think iit wasn't all replaced!!!and yes I think it's f***ing hilarious how does that grab ya!!!!

Darren deserved it. He was very knowledgeable about moputs, I'll give him that but the dick-ish behavior to everyone especially the jealousy toward the research lady Mark hired. I'd hate to have had encountered him when he was a cop. He probably had zero friends as a child and had to make up nicknames for himself.

He shouldn't take parts off someone's car because it's convenient! Regardless of being boss, It's not his property!

Im glad someone else noticed that, too. Been lots of them over the last little while. Enough where Ive had a hard time clicking on them.

Having lived in Oregon, it has more thieves and users per square inch than anywhere else I've ever been. It seems mark in their footsteps!
