Ansley Metzmaker From The Other Guyzz - EP.149
About this episode
Ansley Metzmaker, a 15-year-old drift driver and importer, shares his unique experience bringing Australian right-hand drive vehicles like Holdens and Utes to the US. He discusses the challenges of importing rare cars amid tariffs, the thrill of drifting a 1,000-hp Holden Ute, and the discrimination he faces as a young driver. Ansley also talks about his passion for racing, the technical aspects of these Australian vehicles, and his hopes to transition from importing to competitive drifting. The episode offers a fresh perspective on niche car culture and the next generation of enthusiasts.
In this episode, we sit down with Ansley Metzmaker from The Other Guyzz — a 15-year-old with a gearhead’s ambition well beyond his years. Kelly has carved out a unique niche, importing cars from Australia and selling them to eager American enthusiasts. From navigating the complex world of cross-continental automotive sales to getting sideways in the Holden Utes he brings over himself, Kelly’s story is equal parts entrepreneurial hustle and motorsport passion. We talk import logistics, Aussie vs. U.S. car culture, and what it takes to drift a machine built for the other side of the road. Buckle up — this one’s proof that age is no limit when the drive is real.
