    I was born and raised in Vegas...I foundly remember Count Cool Rider!!!! I just googled and showed my kids a Count Cool Rider Clip because I remember spending soooo many Saturday nights watching him. Loved him!!!!! And then while being nostalgic, suddenly it dawned on me who he is!!!!! I googled to confirm it and then my mind was blown. I love him on Pawn Stars and Counting cars! I recognized him *almost* right away! So awesome!!!!

    Danny is just a cool guy. He seems to be the genuine article. It's nice to see some "real" people having a chance to get their name out there. He has a good heart and is generous while being cool and respected by all kinds of people. That's not an easy thing to do. He has a few different businesses and has been doing these things before there was Counting Cars of Pawn Stars or whatever. He's the real deal. I wish I could afford a vehicle done by him. The only other guy I hold in the same category is Chip Foose from Overhaulin, another big hearted, "real" guy. God bless all these "cool guys" and the wonderful work they do. Great job man !!!!

Show WTF!!! That is AWESOME, Love him or Hate him, he's doing something right, I think he's a Pretty COOL Cat! 🎸💚

  • @eddysplosion
    @eddysplosion 11 років тому +4

    I swear this is the coolest guy I've ever seen anywhere. The guys always smiling and barely or ever gets angry. I love watching his show just because of that. A guy that gets very easily angered like me looks up to him.

      Miss this too. Yes, they were terrible B Movies, but man what fun. Get the popcorn, turn out the lights and watch the movie, and watch the count interact with the Bat Girls while making bad jokes and giving away prizes. He was great as the Count.

    The intro has been living rent free in my head for years. As a kid, I remember my Grandma always used to watch this show. That'd be wild if he made a guest appearance in What We Do in the Shadows.

    @myshansu15 11 років тому +3

    I never missed an episode I met him after the show was canceled and he was doing his custom cycles and cars. He liked coming to the club I ran called Foxy Girls. A real nice guy now I try not to miss his custom count show. Love ya Danny. TCB :)

    I lived in Las Vegas from 1993 - 1999, when I was in my 30's. I loved this show. I used to call in and win stuff. I have a "Catch the Count" t-shirt and a coffee mug. I even went to the station on Decatur Blvd. to pick them up.

    It seems with some research that I my life has been connected to Danny since I was a kid.
    Danny was one or the gospel group the, "Rex Humbard Singers" that I saw perform at a church when I was about 10 or so. I remember seeing this "Saturday Fright at The Movies" via a home made VHS tape as a teen, and now one of my favorite shows in "Counting Cars".

    @bigdaddydave3341 10 років тому +6

    So cheesy it's awesome! I've been a fan of car customizing shows ever since they were mainly "how to" shows, normally associated with a car or truck magazine or parts catalog. They would show as fillers or late at night on cable channels like ESPN or The Nashville Network. The hosts had no personality and just narrated the nuts and bolts of the project. I fell in love with the flash and attitude of Richard Rollins on Fast & Loud and then discovered Danny and his show. Fast & Loud is a better produced show, but I like The Count's style and cars better. I always wondered where Danny got the nickname from. Now I know.

    If I had the chance to drink a beer with anyone in the world, it would have to be the Count! The man is a class act. Raion, I agree. There's a lot to look up to about this mans demeanor and the way he treats others. I wish I was a fraction as cool as him, I would probably be an asshole though so that's probably why the man above didn't create me as such.
