Most people in Las Vegas bet with chips, but Danny “The Count” Koker bets with cars. This Sin City legend walks, talks and breathes cars and bikes. When he sees a car he wants, he will do whatever it takes to get his hands on it-including making on-the-spot cash offers to unsuspecting owners. On the HISTORY series Counting Cars, Danny and his team restore, customize and sell cars in a hurry, scrambling to keep their Las Vegas shop in the black. From classics to exotics, from hotrods to choppers, Danny and the crew of Count’s Kustoms will stop at nothing to find and flip the greatest rides of all time.

I live only a few miles from Camp Freedom and have a lot of First Responder friends that belong and volunteer there. It truly is a second to none place for Veterans and First Responders to go to enjoy the great outdoors and beyond. I am a former LEO and 911 dispatcher and disabled off the job due to PTSD and my wife is currently a 911 dispatcher with 14 yrs of service, so yes, although we are not members, we do very much appreciate Camp Freedom and everything they do and absolutely everyone that helps and donates anything and everything to help them make it all possible for our brothers and sisters. God Bless and be well always.

@kovuk9 3 жыл бұрын

@Daniel Bea People like you take the nice out of everything, but Veterans give and fight for your freedoms and unfortunately the freedom to speak and be an ungrateful human. As far as the First Responders, Remember they are the 1st people that even people like you call in your time of need and put their lives on the line in most cases to protect you and your loved ones. Think you can do any of it better, don a uniform and show is all how it's all done, until then I suggest that you stand aside until you have the backbone to do so instead of attempting to diminish the courage, integrity and pride that the people that serve in our military and on our streets have day in and day out. Keyboard warriors like you make me sick.

I was in high school in the late 60s before I enlisted. Guys back then in my little town were taking Chevy II Nova bodies and putting 427 cubic-inch engines in them that they took out of wrecked corvettes. Sort of like a "missle with a man" as mucho horsepower and torque. More than one guy got into serious wrecks in these as they were not that easy to control. Seeing Danny's in this video brought those memories flooding back. Yes, mustangs and camaros were popular but so were these Chevy II Novas with hopped up engines. Smart guys changed rear ends and improved the traction to help control them. Reckless guys just "let 'er rip."
