About Us
What started as an inside joke between friends, quickly turned into a quirky group of car enthusiasts taking on restorations. As car enthusiasts go, the Financially Challenged Garage Team is no different than the average joe. We work hard and play even harder. Our nights and weekends consist of restoring our classic muscle cars, attending local car shows, and cracking a few jokes at others' expense in between.
​
Since our careers as mainstream comedians didn't take off, we're forced to keep our day jobs if we want to keep our projects progressing. Empty pockets won't pay the bills, so our ongoing ventures eagerly await payday.... and the massive delivery box that is sure to follow.
However, if there was ever a group of misfits that could pull together to make their dreams a reality, this is the bunch. We figured we couldn't be the only ones with this fiscally responsible mindset, so we set out to form Financially Challenged Garage; a group of average joes with not so average ideas.
