“Cost to entry” means how much it takes to get started with a car. Some brands are cheaper to buy and maintain, so people choose them first and upgrade later.
They’re talking about choosing BMW instead of another brand. BMWs are popular because they’re fun to drive and there are lots of parts and upgrades available if you want to personalize the car.
The Scion FR-S is a small sports car made to be fun and easy to drive. It’s designed to feel quick and responsive without being overly complicated. The podcast brings it up because the speaker was interested in owning one.
“Daddy’s money” means people think you got help from your parents instead of doing it yourself. In this context, it’s about whether someone’s car success is from hard work or just having money handed to them.
“Flexing” refers to showing off—often cars, status, or wealth—without necessarily backing it up with real work or results. The speaker contrasts flexing with actually building skills, a brand, or income through effort.
Concept
tears them part, put them together
They’re talking about taking parts apart and putting them back together. It’s basically doing the work yourself instead of paying someone else.
The E30 is an older BMW 3 Series from the late 1980s/early 1990s. It’s considered a classic, and a lot of car people love it. The host is saying he might get one someday, but he’s hesitant because it’s older.
When someone says “clean,” they usually mean the car is in really good shape—looks nice and isn’t falling apart. With older cars, “clean” can also mean it hasn’t been wrecked or messed up by bad repairs. The host is saying he wants that kind of example.
They’re talking about owning two cars at once—one for everyday and one that’s more special. The idea is you might worry about costs and pressure because you’re maintaining more than one car.
“Content strategy” means having a plan for what you post and how you post it. The host says they weren’t following a strict plan back then—they were just filming their car life and seeing what worked.
“POV drives” are videos filmed from the driver’s point of view. The host says this style of filming helped their channel grow because it feels like you’re in the car.
A turbo is a device that helps an engine make more power by pushing extra air into it. The speaker is saying they considered adding one but didn’t, and instead just drove the car.
They’re basically complaining about how expensive gas is right now. When gas costs more, it changes how affordable it feels to drive—especially in big cities like LA.
They’re saying taxes make everything cost more. That can affect what it costs to own and drive a car, not just the price of gas.
Concept
$6 in cash
The speaker reacts to seeing “$6 in cash,” likely referring to an extremely high fuel price. While the exact unit isn’t specified, the point is that local pricing can feel shocking and out of line with expectations.
They’re basically saying people film themselves with a camera while doing car stuff. It’s a way to share what they’re building, and it can help you grow an audience if you keep posting.
Editing is trimming and improving the video so it looks better and makes sense. If you’re filming car projects, editing helps people understand what you did and why.
Filming in public can feel awkward at first because people might stare. The hosts are saying it gets easier once you realize people are used to it, especially around car events.
Term
Sony ZV-1
“Sony ZV-1” (often misheard as “ZVE one”) is a compact camera made for vloggers, with features aimed at easy video recording. The hosts discuss using it for filming with minimal gear and talk about battery life issues. This segment treats it as a key tool in their content workflow.
Term
Canon G7X
The Canon G7X is a small camera people use for vlogging. It’s popular because it’s easy to bring around and set up quickly. The host is saying they used one for a long time before upgrading.
Term
ZBE 10
They’re talking about a battery pack called “ZBE 10.” The point is that it has a larger battery, so it should last longer before dying.
Term
ZBE one
They mention “ZBE one” as the other battery option. It sounds like it’s the smaller one, so they keep a battery around in case the main one runs out.
They bring up “Vlogmas,” which is basically posting videos every day during December. It’s mentioned to explain how intense their filming routine gets.
A chrome plate frame is a shiny cover that goes around your license plate. Some people buy it just to make the front of the car look nicer and match the rest of the styling.
They’re basically saying merch can help creators make money in more than one way. If people already follow you, they may also want to buy your clothes or designs.
Scarcity means there’s only a limited amount, so people feel like they should buy now. “Hype” means building excitement so more people want the product.
A “drop” is when something new is released. A “hype drop” is when they build excitement and make it feel like you have to get it quickly because it won’t be available forever.
A “drift build” is a car that’s set up to do drifting on purpose. It usually means changes that help the car turn in, slide, and stay stable while you’re on the gas.
Drifting is when a driver makes the car slide sideways on purpose while still steering through a corner. It’s a fun skill, but it’s also easy to crash if the tires grip differently than expected.
A curb is the raised edge at the side of the road. Smacking it can bend parts or throw off the wheel alignment, which can make the car feel weird or unsafe.
“Not street legal” means the car isn’t allowed to be driven on public roads. It’s usually because it’s built for track use and doesn’t meet the rules for safety or emissions.
A track car is a car prepared mainly for driving on a race track. It often has safety gear and performance changes that aren’t meant for normal street driving.
Drifting means driving so the car slides sideways on purpose. If you lose control during a drift, you can hit things like curbs, and that can bend or damage parts of the car.
When people say the “frame” is bent, they usually mean the car’s structural mounting points or unibody rails were deformed. Even if the car looks okay, structural damage can lead to persistent handling issues and safety concerns, and it often requires professional inspection and repair.
Drifting and aggressive driving can wear tires quickly, and drift tires are often chosen for grip and predictable slide behavior. That makes tires one of the biggest recurring costs in motorsports-style hobbies.
If the car can’t be driven on the road, you have to haul it to where you want to use it. That means renting a truck and trailer, which costs money and takes planning.
A “street legal” car meets local requirements for public-road use, such as emissions, lighting, tires, and safety equipment. If a car isn’t street legal, you can’t legally drive it to events, so owners often use trailers or tow trucks to transport it.
Car rules aren’t the same everywhere. States like California, Florida, and New York can have different requirements, so a car that’s legal in one place might not be legal in another.
A “collab” means two people work together on a video. In car YouTube, it often helps both channels because they share fans and can team up for a better shoot.
Court fees and lawyer fees are the costs of legal proceedings, including filing, appearances, and attorney time. The host estimates the total could be around $10,000 due to the case tied to their videos.
Street racing generally refers to racing vehicles on public roads, which is illegal in most places. The host describes being accused of promoting street racing through YouTube content, which then affects their legal situation and posting restrictions.
California has a special inspection called a “state referee” that checks whether your car’s modifications are legal. If you get ticketed, you may need to take the car in and prove it’s set up correctly—often meaning it has to be stock or approved—before you can drive it.
Exhaust tips are the part you can see at the back of the car. Even though they seem minor, changing them can sometimes count as a modification and cause legal trouble in strict states.
A smog station is a place that checks how clean your car’s exhaust is. If your car is modified, the inspection may be used to confirm whether it still meets the rules.
The idea here is that after you get in trouble for modifications, the car may have to be put back to factory settings. That’s because inspectors want to confirm the car matches what the law allows.
Impound means the police take your car and hold it. If your car isn’t legal to drive after a ticket, they may not let you keep driving it until you fix it and get it cleared.
Term
cops
“Cops” means police officers. In this story, they’re reacting to how someone drives and to what they post online, especially if the car is modified.
“Modding” means modifying a car from stock—commonly for performance, appearance, or sound. The hosts discuss how authorities may treat certain modifications as suspicious or illegal depending on what’s changed and how the car is used.
“Takeovers” are when people show up in public streets to do loud, flashy driving—like donuts—often without permission. Even if you’re just trying to enjoy your car, the police may assume you’re part of that scene.
Topic
Miami vs LA vibe
They’re basically debating which city feels better for car culture and daily life. They also talk about how humid Miami is, which changes how you feel day-to-day.
Concept
laws about this
They’re saying laws are changing how people drive and meet up. When rules get stricter, it can make car events feel riskier and less fun.
A “super car” is a very high-end, high-performance car that usually gets a lot of attention. The point here is that owning one can be fun, but local rules and police behavior can affect how comfortable you feel driving it.
They’re talking about sending their cars to another city instead of driving them there. It’s useful when you’re moving for work or trying out a new place for a while.
They mention trying Miami with a short-term lease (six months to one year). A lease can reduce long-term commitment and risk when you’re unsure how long you’ll stay in a new location.
They’re saying their place doesn’t have enough parking for their car. If you can’t park it where you live, you may have to store it elsewhere or move it.
Term
crashed
They mention that the car was crashed at some point. A crash can change how expensive it is to repair and can affect how reliable the car is afterward.
A yield sign means you have to let other people go first. If you turn left and you’re positioned too far into the intersection, it can be easier for another car to hit you.
Left turns are tricky because you have to cross traffic coming from the other direction. If you misjudge where you’ll end up in the intersection, another car can hit you.
Your headlight is the front light on the car. If it gets hit, it can mean the front of the car took an impact and may need more than just cosmetic repair.
Airbags are safety cushions that pop out during a crash to help protect your head and chest. If they go off, the car may need repairs to the airbag system before it’s safe to drive again.
An Audi R8 is a high-end supercar. The speaker is saying someone hit his R8 soon after he got it, and he chose not to make it a big insurance fight.
Concept
Insurance claim vs "ruining someone's insurance"
The host discusses choosing whether to file a full insurance claim after a minor crash. This highlights a real-world tradeoff: pursuing compensation can affect the other driver’s premiums/coverage, while not filing can mean accepting repair costs yourself.
A manual transmission means you choose the gears yourself using a clutch and shifter. The speaker likes it because it feels more connected and fun to drive.
DCT is an automatic gearbox that shifts very fast using two clutches. The host is saying they personally enjoy the manual more because it feels more like “you’re driving,” not just steering.
A “driver’s car” is basically a car that feels fun and controllable when you’re actively driving it. The speaker thinks the BMW M3 feels especially good on twisty roads.
They’re talking about twisty mountain roads (“canyons”) where you can really feel how a car handles. The point is that some cars feel better when you drive them hard on curves.
Angeles Crest Highway is a well-known twisty mountain road in Southern California. The speaker uses it to explain where a car like the BMW M3 feels especially fun and capable.
They’re describing a car that feels exciting and connected like an older performance car, but still has modern features. The idea is to get the best of both worlds: fun driving feel plus today’s comfort/tech.
A “straight line car” is more about going fast in a straight path, like racing from a stop. They’re contrasting that with cars that feel better for turning and driving through curves.
Company
BMR Invasion
BMR Invasion is likely a car meet or event. People bring their cars, show off builds, and meet other car fans.
BBS makes aftermarket wheels that are popular with car enthusiasts. People choose them because they look great and are usually built to be strong and perform well.
Term
turn-server kit
A “kit” usually means extra aftermarket parts added to a car. Depending on what it is, it can make the car more valuable because it changes the look or adds performance.
JDM means “Japanese cars for the Japanese market.” It’s a label car people use for Japanese performance cars, and the host is saying the GTR attracts that kind of fan.
The Nissan GT-R is a famous fast Japanese sports car. In this conversation, it’s being used as an example of a car that attracts a specific group of fans.
The C6 is a specific generation of the Chevrolet Corvette. It’s the “classic” look and feel people associate with the Corvette, and here they’re comparing how it drives versus the newer one.
A supercharger is a device that helps the engine breathe more air. More air usually means more power, which is why people mention it when talking about faster cars.
The Dodge Charger is a bigger sedan that can be built for high performance. Some versions include a supercharger and extra features to make it faster and more capable. It’s often mentioned when people talk about powerful cars that still have normal car usability.
Concept
scene / Miami rental car comparison
They’re basically saying that once a car becomes really common (like rental cars), it can feel less unique. That can change how people feel about buying or building one.
The Aventador SVJ is one of Lamborghini’s most extreme supercars. The speaker is mentioning it as a dream-level car they’ve talked about before moving on to other Lamborghinis.
Car
Lamborghini Huracán
The Lamborghini Huracán is a flashy, high-performance Lamborghini supercar. The host is saying it’s the next car he wants to move into after his current dream-car pick.
The host is saying they buy cars partly because they’re good for making videos. In other words, the car has to be interesting to viewers, not just fun to own.
Concept
driving experience vs. technology
They’re basically saying some cars feel exciting because they’re simple and mechanical, not because they’re packed with tech. The Corvette vibe is more about what you feel and hear while driving. The R8 vibe is smoother and more refined.
“Car scene” just means the group of car people who hang out and share what they know. Cars often get sold or traded through that community.
Concept
Facebook Marketplace-style listing
The speaker describes a car being posted online “for one day” and then purchased quickly, which is typical of short-lived listings on social platforms. This highlights how enthusiast cars can move fast when they’re posted to the right audience.
Term
rap
They probably mean “wrap,” like a vinyl skin on the car. It can change how the car looks, and it can get damaged if the car isn’t cared for.
That “carbon roof” is a roof made from carbon fiber. It’s usually lighter and more expensive than a normal metal roof, and if it gets damaged it can be hard (and costly) to fix.
PPF is a clear protective film that you put on your car’s paint. It helps prevent rock chips and scratches, and here they’re saying they even made a custom red look so it matches the exact color they wanted.
“Made the perfect red from scratch” suggests they developed a specific color target and then matched it using materials like tinted PPF or custom finishing. This is a common branding/enthusiast approach: instead of accepting off-the-shelf colors, they dial in a signature look.
The Toyota Supra is a popular sports car that a lot of car fans love. People often talk about it like a “dream car” because it’s fun to drive and there are lots of parts and mods for it.
Concept
buying a house vs investing in cars/content
They’re basically saying they’d rather keep spending money on cars and making content for now, instead of buying a house right away. The idea is to wait until they know where they want to live permanently.
Topic
World Cup
They’re talking about the World Cup as something they might go to. It’s not really about cars here—more about when and where they’ll be able to meet up.
They’re saying one of the events feels like drag racing. Drag racing is basically cars racing in a straight line to see which one is faster over a short distance.
Brand
Beam Invasion
“Beam Invasion” sounds like a name for a group or booth they’re involved with at car events. They’re mentioning it like a brand or team presence, not a specific car model.
“Cars and coffee” is a casual car meet where people show up with their cars, hang out, and talk about them—often in the morning. It’s a popular place to meet other enthusiasts and film content.
They mention a website where you can buy their merch. Think of it like the store link for the podcast/creator.

[SPEAKER_00]: Alley.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, it was Beamer invasion.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it was three years ago, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, that's the first time that I met you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I won up to you in a juice myself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we were just kind of kept in touch from there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we always talked about doing a podcast, but you're also on the other side of the country.
[SPEAKER_02]: Other worlds.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, I was in New York at the time, and now I'm in Florida, and I'm still in the East Coast, and you're on the West Coast.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: You have your car here, which is obviously your first good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my first car too.
[SPEAKER_02]: It started everything right and you have it here So I'm like we're both in the same place or cars work out finally right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to do it with like the 10 or 20 cars you have You know, we could have figured that out.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did we go to?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think this is this makes more sense because we're gonna talk about pretty much here like how you got into this It's probably the most iconic car like of my career.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess yeah, and you put it back and I brought back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll talk about how this car pretty much like made you who you are in the beginning everything and also some other stuff in the future Like you have a ton of cars now your car collection has changed dramatically over the years and how long have you been doing this now probably what eight years now I keep forgetting but probably like seven eight years maybe maybe it could be longer to be honest Like you're saying time just goes by so fast bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so how old are you when you first started like with YouTube?
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say young too, man That's another thing too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I look super young [SPEAKER_00]: How old do you know on 29?
[SPEAKER_00]: I just turned 29 like last week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Damn bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't look like you're like 23 24 Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely like on which is good.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy But yeah, I've been doing it for a long time first off before we begin I always have to introduce like guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: I always forget this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm size but before we begin Let's give it around our applause for finding Nick [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes that skip over that, but I feel like you deserve an introduction in the proper introduction.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, thank you for taking the time to do this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, you're here for a couple of days, so figure today will be the best day to make you happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, back in the day, you started.
[SPEAKER_02]: shooting music videos?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the crazy thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was always behind the camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to photography, videoography, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really wanted to shoot music videos.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was like my dream job.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoot music videos are like concerts and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I was always, I love being behind the camera, creating content.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I was like, you know, I should put the camera front of me in front of the camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's why everything kind of just started taking off.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I started with music videos.
[SPEAKER_00]: Filming my cousin.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like a little rapper, Alessandro.
[SPEAKER_00]: What was his name?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Angel, but Yoda, I think, or Valley Boy or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Valley Boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I was doing like some of that, then some guys in high school wanted to film music videos, but I was just doing it for fun, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Literally like 50 bucks under bucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me do a video for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's how much you were charging, like literally like 100 bucks maybe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, just give me 100 bucks off of my video.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just loved doing it, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved editing, loved filming.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, that's how I started.
[SPEAKER_02]: What was like the, like so, little camera talk, I don't really do too much camera talk, but like, what are we filming with back then?
[SPEAKER_00]: like a T-3I or something like a T-6 I made like a little cannon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I got my first Sony.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was a Sony A7R2 or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: R2, which is like one of my most expensive cameras.
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought the time I was like damn, I'm making a big purchase.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, like I said, I loved it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like being behind the camera.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you were doing music videos, but you also had some like car features on it too, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would film like some of my friend's cool cars.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if we wanna go before that, bro, I used to like be in Mexico and high school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to be the filmer, like filming all the BMX stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you never posted that on like your page, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have like another channel where like, maybe another channel.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was years ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I guess that I've always been behind the camera, bro, whatever it is, I've always been behind the camera and just creating content.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, music videos, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Was there anybody that you were looking up to to do that stuff?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, were you or you just like, I want to shoot music videos?
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me try it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or like, were you watching all that?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, cold Bennett?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, ham some of that stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, just like anything cool, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool editing and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just look up to people like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kobe and it was super popular back then with like a little pump and all that stuff was a little too high so that's what I really looked up to.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not car stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, car stuff too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, I put it together.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was already being on the camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a car ready to.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had it in 1973.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was my first car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is my first car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also used to watch car stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was into like filming, but I was also into like watching [SPEAKER_02]: because he was part of the BMX2, but I combined everything and just did my own thing now, you know, and so what made you want to get from being behind the camera to in front like, what was the initial like push for that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, probably watching Adam Aussie.
[SPEAKER_00]: Adam will tell him to do stuff and I'm like, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I feel like I could do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I have a cool personality too.
[SPEAKER_00]: People used to tell me like, Bro, you should like film yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also had a good friend of mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: His name is John Hicks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was another YouTuber of mine, a friend of mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: He like a mailing subscribers at the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: He still does, but um, he's the one who kind of told me like, bro, like, point the camera yourself, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you can make a career out of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a really badass car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: People want us want to see you build it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, [SPEAKER_00]: I just started trying it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought a vlog camera now that a good vlog camera thing was like a Canon G7X whatever Oh, I had that camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I just started filming broke and was crazy I filmed like maybe 10 vlogs and I never posted them but it was good practice right then I was all right I need a post one so I posted one and then [SPEAKER_02]: And they just kept going, kept going, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So before we get into the growth of that, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: What made you, because your first video, your car was already done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, normally guys who have some stuff, like they start from a pretty much car, stock car, to whatever it was, but your car was already bagged.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was already bagged and I did it off camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the crazy thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed it already, you know, like, if it wasn't on camera, I would be building my car regardless.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the car is already done.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, my friend was like, bro, you have a sick car.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should film it and I'm going to events.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was already going to like be my best.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was before like be my best.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah way back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just started just filming all the stuff I do So what made you want to go with the BMW though like because you know, you're younger the the cost to entry is different when yeah, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven years ago, I mean, Honda's for me, like 2006, 2007, obviously, a Honda was more affordable in those times.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was popular.
[SPEAKER_02]: As we get older now, BMW, the older models are obviously the new.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like the new Honda's, you know, you can get them and they're making pretty fast for cheap.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, what made you want to go with the BMW over like another, another car?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always a BMW's like when I was first car, that was my first car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ever crazy thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Before that, I wanted like an FRS or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really into FRS to be our Z's.
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably because I was watching TG hunt maybe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: But for some reason, I always wanted the M3, like the BMW's.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when I was able to get it, it was crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: How much, how much, how much was it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like what was the, um, what was the process for getting that car at the time?
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the crazy a lot of people don't I don't tell a lot of people because everyone's of like it was daddy's money and stuff like that but my dad bought me this car bro okay and it's not so blessed to be able to have a dad that whoops that bought me it you know anything and ever since then I feel like no like I helped a lot you know you're that didn't really know that you were going to do content not he bought it just because like he obviously you're a son and yeah was like a graduation president or something kind of yeah because I got it like as I was graduating I think I drove it like the last three days [SPEAKER_00]: which is crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, pulling up at any night, you don't have to be back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: And high school is, I think that's pretty, that's a big flex for anybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was very cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, like I said, I don't know what I'm like talking about, because people like all those daddy's money, and then don't fight like kind of devalue to the rest of my career, but I think it was cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was able to buy me that and now like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: everything that has worked out in my career.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to buy him something, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to buy a car soon.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I want to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully he's not watching this, but I want to repaint for everything because without that, I probably want to be around 100%.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, this is the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel about the whole daddy's money thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like if you take something that your parents give you and you run with it and make something out of it, you make something out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You make something out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: you put the time and effort in.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it kind of cancels out that.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're running around flexing and not really doing anything, I'm making no money and I'm not trying to be successful, then I can understand why people would say that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you literally took the car and you made something out of it and you put the work in.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like a whole different.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying like a different person.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you have like 10 cars, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, and I feel like I got that work that they're from my dad too, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like where does that be?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll do this from you.
[SPEAKER_00]: He works in helicopters.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like a helicopter mechanic and just [SPEAKER_00]: kind of stuff like what these guys do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: This works on how like I just tears them part, put them together, everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was your mom like, um, against you getting the car at all or she was a little bit, she's like, she's like, everyone's mom, you know, like scared.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to get a fast car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Be careful.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, a little bit, but, um, they're super supportive, but my friends are like super, super, super, it even to this day like they love everything I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when they saw you do a content, how did they feel about that?
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't understand it at first, because obviously it's a brand new thing, especially back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like now it's a little more normal, I guess a lot of people are trying to do YouTube, but back then yeah, no one's really doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And at the time I wasn't doing it for a job or money either, I was doing it for fun, but I really enjoyed just being behind the camera and creating content.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, there were little weird about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing Nick like I got a high school not doing much and he's like you need to do something with your life I just didn't know what I was gonna do bro Did you have any idea of what you like direction you wanted to go like were you planning on going to college or I did go to college too That's not all you did a lot of people don't really know Okay, I went to college for like two years, but that was just out of not knowing what to do bro I was I don't know what to do so where you like like liberal arts or something like that like just I went for digital media So it was something I enjoyed yeah, but again I kind of just did it because I didn't know what else to do like I need to do something and [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I did that for two years.
[SPEAKER_00]: I graduated.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got like a degree in digital media.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, um, and it taught me a little bit, you know, I learned how to edit and stuff with that, but a lot of the stuff I picked up on my own and I already knew prior to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so, but you were able to learn something at school.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, from whatever before school, you were, were you planning on like, did you always have the visions to kind of shoot music videos or because you were in school, you were like, let me try this out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it was before that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was already starting to film the music videos and stuff with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So now when you started the YouTube channel, um, when the Jews really like realized that it was like a, I think you could do for a living, you know, um, I think what I started like seeing obviously some money come in and I let the money add up in there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you don't get the YouTube check until you put in like your information and stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll just stack up for a while.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember I kept stacking up stacking it up stacking up and then, um, [SPEAKER_00]: I remember I saw like $6,000 in their row and I was like, that's a lot of money at the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pies, I was five, say I told you 20, right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: 21, $6,000, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bro, that's, me at 21, I'm thinking right now, 21, 6k.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I probably would have wanted a club or just something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I really wanted to buy it in 36.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I bought this E370 for six grand, and yeah, it made content with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's another thing I also took my channel off.
[SPEAKER_00]: You throw six, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think all the cars, you know, every single car bought took the channel to another level.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the E36, what's it, and more like a drift build?
[SPEAKER_00]: That was E46.
[SPEAKER_00]: E46.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've had almost every M3, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had E36, E46, E92, FADG80, all the M3s, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you haven't had a E30.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's only one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there plans for E30 in the future?
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, it's too old for me, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on, you say eat dirty.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like the newer cars now, bro You don't like the boxy look though.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like it though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I definitely feel like I have to do it just to complete the right generation You get in the clean a clean E30 M3 bro clean there was you saw probably there was like one in the front Yeah, it's over one [SPEAKER_02]: That was here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been renovations.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also a lot of money, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for that money, you could buy a lot of other fish.
[SPEAKER_02]: But think about you spent how much in the E36 back then.
[SPEAKER_02]: So six grand, the E30 value, like 500 bucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: The price is just shot up on those things.
[SPEAKER_00]: On everything, these are E36 too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, bro, you can't get one for like under 15 anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's wild, it's wild for six.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've ever guessed that in the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you already had this car that you 92, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you got the E36.
[SPEAKER_02]: You had two cars.
[SPEAKER_02]: What was the mindset at the time?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, because I have two cars, but like, one's like a just a toaster.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, I call it a toaster.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's my daily car.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I have the super, which is like my main car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But with the amount of money I put in the super, I'm like, I can't even imagine doing that twice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what was the mindset like having two cars like where you stressed out?
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you feel like you have more pressure now because you had another car out of the fleet?
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit, but like I said, I was already starting to do the content.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just started seeing that like, you know, this might work like buying a car building it and then doing it all over again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, a little bit of stress, but at the same time, I feel like I just put all the money back into the cars where like everything I've made, I just put it back in the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, okay, so yeah, well, we'll talk about that, too, because I have some questions about how that works eventually when you have all these cars and what makes sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, are you going into a car project for your media to make money at this point or was it just like, you know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_02]: But we'll talk about that in a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, with the E36, did you have any content strategy back then?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's like your second car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, [SPEAKER_02]: Contest more serious.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I love you were doing a full time yet, but did you have a strategy like okay, I have to post X amount of videos for this video to work or you just like filming everything and hoping that it would work out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think at that time I was again just doing it for kind of more like fun, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just seeing where it takes me [SPEAKER_00]: And just organically you'll just started growing, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it wasn't like, oh, I need to make dedicated videos about this I was just filming what I do with the car driving out put a GoPro on and just do like POV drives Yeah, I feel like that also shot on my YouTube channel a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are some of your most viral videos I think I have a million Do you video and it was a POV drive?
[SPEAKER_00]: I just put the GoPro on my head and I just drove around this car, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah with this car So many viral videos with this car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the car that started everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like the whole career [SPEAKER_02]: no 100% it's a it's a very popular car you know what it's hard yeah so this day people are starting to buy them i personally uh it's controversial for me but i think that i'm not even gonna say that i like the f80s but i think this looks better for me yeah i don't know how you feel about that but um they're equally to me yeah they're all pretty well i love you and love you so what was the plan with the E36 E36 i just um [SPEAKER_00]: Why just enjoy it bro?
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wanted to I'm always like that car too Did you boot you know turbo right or anything?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I was going to though Yeah, I was just enjoying it was like a cool little daily This thing like was horrible on gas So like I need to tell you she's bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so back then too like I said I wasn't making money like that Yeah, I should expensive to drive this car big old V8.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I hold on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you tell my expensive gas wise You got you're in Cali.
[SPEAKER_02]: How much the gas price right now is bad right now?
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like seven bucks There's one gas station that has eight dollars, bro [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it always like that though?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not that bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think normal was like five bucks for us Which sounds crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yo five dollars for gas is crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is normal for us, bro That's normal in LA.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right now is like six something and that's we're like damn that's kind of high like Bro, what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yo, I swear one gas gets like three middle threes That's you that's even high, but I don't remember last time I seen three dollars in California [SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the two weeks ago before I came, I filled up the R.A.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was $120 to fill up.
[SPEAKER_00]: How big is the gas tank in it?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty big though.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's actually like 18 gallon tank.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I don't know where they put 18 gallon tank in that car, but what?
[SPEAKER_02]: It was only $20 to fill up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's like $7 of, oh yeah, like $6 something probably.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what's 20 in a super car?
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you even afford to live in LA?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's funny because Jake always tells me the same thing is like, bro, why are you going to LA bro?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you could be using your money so much wisely in other places, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I don't know it's hard to move, you know, I grew up there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's harder like change that and go somewhere else.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I get home sick too when I'm going.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just want you to LA bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why.
[SPEAKER_00]: My family's out there, my friends are out there, so it does suck because they're just so expensive, but I just got used to it, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I play everyone else just used to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, we're just used to paying more, more and more in the gas, more and everything taxes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, New York is expensive too, where I'm from, but like, I've never seen no $6 in cash.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason why I should should be this expensive.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's insane, that's why I call it California.
[SPEAKER_00]: So are you what are you Spanish or yeah, I'm actually in but I feel like I don't know any Spanish Oh, you don't speak Spanish.
[SPEAKER_00]: No very white wash bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't I'm brum Spanish to I don't speak Spanish.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah I wish I did because you ever speak Spanish, maybe when you're younger never bro my parents never taught me I don't know why so do we have like an accent or not really everyone just white wash bro I really don't think that damn it's interesting So family obviously is very important with of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you ever buy him on a car?
[UNKNOWN]: No [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, but that's another thing I want to do on my one day, you know, that's a goal mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: And by my parents, something, I'll just give them back if I can, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, my dad taught me a lot, bro, like I feel like I want to be around without my dad, like he literally put that worth ethic in my head of me working hard and grinding and getting the things that I want, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he did that a lot for our family, so yeah, I just want to repay them one day by the both of the car made it.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I have a suit man, you got these these merch shops that I have to know.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, one day, bro, it might, it might happen soon, it might happen soon.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, what did you make the shift from, like, taking this series?
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you're like, all right, I'm getting some real money now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, now I can go with, like, now I can set myself a YouTuber where I don't have to work, because I don't know if you were working at, I don't know if you're doing this time either.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had one job in my life, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: What just says the music video stuff?
[SPEAKER_00]: But, like, one real job, and it wasn't even a real job.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, add a home in your mind, his dad owned a security company.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and he was like, yo, you want to be a security guard.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what am I going to do is secure?
[SPEAKER_00]: What am I going to protect, bro?
[SPEAKER_00]: So he had me on like this warehouse and I would just protect it all night, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I would just sit this over night, six PM to six AM, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like 12 hours.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not good horrible, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like literally like horrible.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll get off at six in the morning just like dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, dude, I can't do this shit normally.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: How long were you doing that for?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, if I didn't feel like a year maybe, and this is during the time when I was starting YouTube, so the only benefit out of it was I was able to like be there and edit my YouTube videos So at the same time I'm making money at like my nine to five years say nine to nine.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would literally edit my YouTube videos and like you know like Kill two birds and one stone, I would edit my YouTube videos and and yeah, it calved it helped that, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like help me at least get some type of income while the YouTube videos weren't making anything at the time [SPEAKER_00]: Then I started seeing my YouTube make as much money as I'm making the security.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I'm out of here.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I can't stay up all night doing this shit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bro, it is crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even kidding.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every story of anybody who does content full time.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the same story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I work well for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not with me, same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: You work a job.
[SPEAKER_02]: You use that to fund your dream.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're editing, I work, you're doing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or if you're after.
[SPEAKER_02]: the work you're doing at.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so you can get out when you're making it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm out of here.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're beginning to really get out of grind it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And not sleep.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it works.
[SPEAKER_00]: It pays off, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's work going through it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But a lot of people don't understand how much time really goes into it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: So actually nowadays, bro, it's.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's a lot harder than it used to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a saturated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's shutting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to a car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone has a vlog camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's got to stay at it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's consistent, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think also your reason for entering was a lot different from a lot of people, I don't know what's in now, but like people who just, you know, vlog occasionally, those people are just doing it because they feel like they have to because they're around cars.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're gonna spend money on the camera, you're gonna spend time editing and all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably best to make the best of it and figure out a way to be successful with it, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Your dream was more of just like, you know, you like cars, so let me just pick up the camera and just film whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so organic, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, even if I wasn't vlogging, I would still be building cars.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was, I love it, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was cool that I might go put my passion into it and, but it doesn't even feel like a job, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just, I love and joy doing it, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: no I agree it's just it's just funny because like no matter how many times you ask this thing question yeah you get like the same thing oh we work in somewhere and then I was doing this now until you're trying to make it to your 95 pace for this yeah until you're hobby is able to make it to your 95 I say quit and just go full throttle on that shit now you know that's what it did [SPEAKER_02]: What video at the time was one that like was there any videos that just took off?
[SPEAKER_00]: I did like this rev battle with my homie, and we like rev though e9 2s together Yeah, and both that video hit like Probably with no one it's far like doing a thousand views on YouTube and I was like what the heck like and even to this day Row people still come up to me and they're like, you know, I've watched you since that video [SPEAKER_00]: How long ago was that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like six years ago?
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably six, maybe six years ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: And after that, I was like, damn, like, this is getting traction everywhere, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's also super cool about all this.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like just seeing like, people all over the world, like just seeing my videos and making an impact, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: well you also have a platform that is pretty universal like a lot of people over here in the states obviously they have these cars but Germany like in the country is like they love these cars but that's just crazy i don't want to Germany not too long ago like last year oh you did go to Germany yeah yeah yeah i was out there and bro people again people come out to me [SPEAKER_00]: Bro, I've been watching since the E92.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, you guys don't notice how the world watching me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or the crazy thing, see my merch on the mirror.
[SPEAKER_00]: I see my merch in Germany.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I ship the ship from my parents living room, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: How does it make it all in a journey?
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's wearing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's super cool, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a humbling moment, don't man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's another reason why I really like doing this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just seeing like the people's faces, like, pop, like, just below, like, oh my god, Nick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I do super cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we hung out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seema last year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and we were in not in this car the F-80.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, we went to like that car meet after Yeah, I was called, but like, right, everybody's coming up to you the whole time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there's Nick like you like you don't get tired of it like a little bit It is tiring, bro, but I was having this conversation with my friend like yesterday or the other day at beam renovation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's tiring dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: It takes [SPEAKER_00]: all your social battery out, really.
[SPEAKER_00]: You just having the conversations with people, taking photos, by a tickle file, like a thousand photos every year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I'm like, I'm like, wait, I'll be back now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm topping that into heat too, you know, like in the sun, but I try to give everyone a great experience, you know, because for them, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything, like, meeting me and like, I'm tired.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm out of energy, but I try to give them as much energy I can because I'm sure for them is like damn, like, [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because even for me, even to this day, I see like Adam, I was like, I used to watch this guy growing up as crazy like it is crazy to me too So it's like you only see how they look at me, you know, it's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: No 100% and you know, we are too I'm like I'm a normal person role, but I think that most humble people will look at it that way Yeah, I'm just a normal person and like, you know any of those series like I'm not know, you know I'm saying I know Beyonce, you know like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what it is But this thing you have that mindset is this pretty like it's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it's it's also inspirational because sometimes you're having a bad day [SPEAKER_02]: You still got to push through like if you haven't event let's say if you had the worst day before going to the event Yeah, you got to push through man.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to like be there for your fans You've been every day just filming bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah a lot of people don't realize like I'm the normal person too So I go through shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have stress I got stuff going on behind the scenes, but I still got to go out there and pick up the camera and smile Bro, yeah, I'm trying to make a vlog out of something So how long you're going to take for you to get comfortable filming in public though?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, I'm still not comfortable.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean really you know this too like even with this podcast bro You can't even ask me for like years bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: What you're doing and I'm so long in it [SPEAKER_02]: you're doing fine like I just overthinking it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like just being in my car and just me in the camera, you know, but in front of like audience, I'm still, and there is why I've been able to like just get over it because I have to, you know, like yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you kind of, you're already around people with cars, so you kind of know like, if you're filming, they're not going to be like, what the hell is he doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody knows all it's just Nick he's filming a vlog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, people asked me to like I'll be walking around just vlogging And then I'll see like a guy that has his camera.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's trying trying to vlog, you know And how much he was like how do you get over this bro?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like how do you just do it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, bro Just pick up the camera and just block everything out like people are gonna look at you dumb But bro, I'm not gonna lie to yours.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it is hard bro, but these people fight never see you again You know, just film it get out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I always think that I'm like all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're never gonna see me again.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fine Yeah, it's like [SPEAKER_02]: What am I going to say?
[SPEAKER_02]: What if I mess up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and what if I have to like redo it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I'm like, idiot, you know, saying like, I just mess up the whole intro and I got to redo it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still get nervous to this day, bro, but I just tried to do it and it gets easier over time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, you mentioned that you were filmed with a T, whether it's T, T, T, T, T, T, seven.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the cool thing about you and also fresh kicks too.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys film with very minimal gear Yeah, like ZVE, I think a ZVE one ZVE I was in a ZVE 10.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was in a pretty affordable Yeah, then I upgraded just recently to the ZVE one before that was a can of G7X But I filmed like four years straight with that G7X if you see I still become yeah I still have it at home, bro, and it's cool to like look back at but like I used that camera for four years [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know how many videos find like 200 videos on that one camera bro, and it's all beat up But that was like my first vlog camera the G7X So how are you I've always been curious right because I tried vlogging and honestly you both you and fresh kicks inside like three I think it was three years ago when I went my super when I was blue and everything
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I like what these guys are doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me see if I can vlog the same way.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I won and bought the same camera.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I, I'm telling you, it was on your video or fresh experience video.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, there was like a reflection from one of the cars.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're trying to look at what can I try to see what can I do the same shit.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I bought, I bought, I think I bought the same ZVE, a ZV one, I think it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: But bro, I'm telling you that camera had the worst batteries ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like how these guys using these cameras and you start filming in 10 minutes later, your camera's dead.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, do you walk around with like up like two packs of batteries?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the ZBE 10 has the bigger battery, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think ZBE one, but I do always carry a battery with me just in case, but just one battery.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so are you the kind of content guy that films everything and then you kind of edit it or now you're just more like I know what I need to film I'm gonna use this or I may or may a little bit I'm getting to that point, but I still try to film as much as I can so that later when I'm editing I could just cut shit out that I don't you okay, but I think it's always better to film more [SPEAKER_02]: You know, then you could just not use it if you need to use it But you're at your filming a lot at the event, so like how much footage are you when you're transporting the footage like how many you know I'm gonna gig's your like transporting?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know it's like a hundred gigabytes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Damn.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, how do you feel every day too?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: So and you film every you post every day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I try to post every day Which some people are like how do you do that shit?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know how I do it either.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how you do it But there's times for like vlogmas like in December you film like from the first to the Christmas when you've been doing that in a row [SPEAKER_00]: And I've done it the past two years and Ashley is hard bro, like making a YouTube video every single day is a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wake you know, like, oh, what am I going to film today?
[SPEAKER_00]: And you film all day?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I come home at it all night.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, wake up next morning, do it again for 25 days straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just hard bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: How long has it taken you out of the video?
[SPEAKER_00]: I've gone pretty fast at it, just from doing it over the years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, on average.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't edit a vlog in an hour, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or it's hours, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: You add music, like little music from the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've just gone used to a vlog.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been doing it for so long.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've seen people edit vlogs for like, I'll take a week to edit a vlog and like damn, I guess I'll be just crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: A week is crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also should be putting in more effort like if I put more effort and I could edit a vlog in like a couple days and take more time Yeah, but I like my stuff just going out as fast as I can, you know I try to be a super consistent as I can and just posts as much as I can even outside of vlogmas I try to post like every other day at least Okay, so now from back then to now obviously the shift has been different you have a lot more followers and so on is this is is the purpose of you posting every day Because you have to hit a certain number a month or is it just like like what's the reason that you feel like you need to post every day [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like when I'm not doing something one of the things I feel like I'm just like being lazy So I rather go on just do something okay and film but I do want to start shifting my content soon to like maybe one a video a week Maybe one high quality video.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just trying it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's easy out here Yeah, but I feel like modern just got really used to me posting every day like bro, I'll miss like two days and I'll get so many comments like [SPEAKER_00]: Where's the video at?
[SPEAKER_00]: Even the end was like why you're not posting that you don't have forever I'm like brothers been two days But body's just got so used to me posting so much for I post a lot for a car YouTube I feel like I post like more than a lot of people know you be yeah, you do you post you post a lot I think the only person I know that was posting consistently like that was like a wrap Yeah, he was posting every day every day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I see how to get in school from people like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like down He could post everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me show it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like before I went out there I think after the podcast of bud Jake and you were editing [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't even right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I suppose something in our hopefully.
[SPEAKER_02]: So do you have a certain time you have the post there, no?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really.
[SPEAKER_00]: I try to post that noon all the time every time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why I found that all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've always done that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like three here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Three here probably.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just feel like I've had noon, you know, everyone's at lunch.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what comes on my head.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's true or not.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in my head on my everyone was at lunch.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're playing on their phones.
[SPEAKER_00]: They can watch my video.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I try to post that 12 on every platform.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I try doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're mainly posting on YouTube, or are you doing TikTok?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, mainly YouTube.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've been trying to start posting on everything now, like more TikToks, getting useful from like Jake, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely know, like, that's another crazy thing is, well, it's crazy because you can see like the generations.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like now I'm starting to become like...
[SPEAKER_00]: an old youtuber broke because you see these new guys like Jake and all his friends and I'm like damn like they're I'm learning from them now it was great bro you know Jake has a video on his channel when he only had probably like 200 subscribers and he was in LA at one meet and he was like oh that's binding Nick and I was a big youtuber at the time yeah now Jake freaking surpassed me but it's crazy to see that like he used to look up to me and now I'm starting to look up to him bro like ideas from him start focusing on short form content TikTok and I know that's like the wave now you know [SPEAKER_00]: It is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so now I'm trying like I said I'm trying to step away from the long form.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not completely, but yeah, focus my more short short form take talk.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to get a snap chat and just like use all the platforms to my back chat.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I should ask Jake that, but I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I don't get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But people make it bank off it.
[SPEAKER_02]: How?
[SPEAKER_02]: How I win I know that's I'm saying I need to get on it to like what what are you doing just posting like Like I go like that there's people posting like a thousand stories a day and they just get paid off of it And it's the same as YouTube like you can skip to snapchat and you're catching at anxiety though I know I don't want people know where I'm at every minute of the day Like can you post I want to feel the pose after like no, but then you're gonna who's nobody wants to do with that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know but yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: They post a lot of the wrap was on there too Yeah, until you talk to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was making a good amount of money on it [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, Dan, it's not a bad as a whole car payment.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have snapchat just like taking pictures and posting them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So YouTube is your main source of income.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, most kind of yes, but at the same time I have like my merchants of it that and that definitely pays more than the YouTube, but the merch when it's out without the YouTube, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a kind of rally like a feature of branding with of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: You to kind of just like, you know, sell merchandise too.
[SPEAKER_02]: So well.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, because I know like your stuff was like you always do the videos.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is pretty fucking cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like on the phone, Shopify.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, that's what I call to see.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the cards too, like we're all emerging it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you did a cool shot where it was your car and all the packages.
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it the F80 or my G80?
[SPEAKER_02]: the G80 when it was like Tiffany Teele like and I got Teele bags.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was that was all around.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like you can only do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you got the time you want to fake it, cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I thought I'm like damn, like that kind of this, this is like two years.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was like two years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I inspired me and I was like, damn, I want to do this like merch stuff too.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, bro, it's hard, man, because I'm doing so much.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's hard, but it's definitely hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, and that's why I did it though, like just to inspire everybody, you know, and you see like you see all the [SPEAKER_00]: I want to make sure people can see that you guys could do it too, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for merch stuff, like, where do you get a lot of the inspiration for your stuff?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because your stuff is more like, it's more like street wear, kind of like, it's not like the typical, like, you know, like I have car shirts and like that, but it's more like, even the fit of it is more like, you know, yeah, that's what I try, I try making clothes that [SPEAKER_00]: I would personally wear it, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's all I wear.
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally wear all my merch every single day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the inspiration I would say is like, I make stuff that I like.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, even like two like the plate frames in some bro, like I wanted a chrome plate frame to match my wheels.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've made a chrome plate frame.
[SPEAKER_00]: to match my way of the now the opposite salutes everybody, but same with the shirts and designs like I want to make stuff that I like personally and I do do some car stuff to I mix it with like some cars because there's an audience for that too people want to see my car on their shirt, but I also try to do something more street where you can wear it to a club you can wear anywhere you know like so I try to just mix it you know car stuff street where stuff and so combined it all [SPEAKER_02]: So as a, as a car, YouTube or influencer, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Merch is probably something that most people obviously will have to get into because you want to, you know, open up some more streams of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what are some things that you recommend for people who if they want to start doing merch?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say they're getting a little bit of following.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have TikTok, YouTube, and it's on the grow more.
[SPEAKER_02]: The classic thing to do is just like find a designer, of course, find a designer, everyone's so on.
[SPEAKER_02]: But is there any other like methods or any other techniques you think that people should kind of implement to kind of scale up with a merch?
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a different focus on quality too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like all of it kind of just like push this up out and just feel like the money.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, I'm like, that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of passionate for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want it to make cool clothes, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: That was always a dream of mine too, having like a clothing brand.
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, I just mixed that dream with like what I'm doing now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, so I say focus on quality, also like, I think that how it means like hype bro, like I feel like I created a hype, so I don't just have merch on the website all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like drops, so every couple months I'll hype it up for like a week in advance.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like guys, these shirts are coming out and it's gonna sell out fast and bro for the most part, it sells out within a day, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like keeping it limited, you know, because I think people will be like, I got a shirt, you know, and then I see it in person too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, [SPEAKER_00]: He got it, you know, like he got that shirt from that drop and it's never going to get released again Bro, I see a lot of people wearing this stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know it's kind of crazy I see a lot of you bro Yeah, I think you bought that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yes, you bought that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You know, so yeah, I just like I like the hype behind it, too, you know, yeah I think it's kind of cool and it also helps the sales as well You know like creating that hype and that scares me like oh, if I don't get it now It's gonna sell out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna get that design again.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah [SPEAKER_02]: What the website you obviously everything's run through there, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you doing like any type of like ads or anything or nothing right now?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's organic bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just do my following in YouTube and Instagram every night that eventually I want to start running ads Do's at a bigger people, but imagine yeah, I'd probably be even crazier.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all organic do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean I would I stand bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: You should probably want to ask I know you want a 10x I like You want to ask man.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I think but I would probably It probably would make more sense to do ads on like something doesn't have the car in it Yeah, probably because like it's more general.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the car stuff again like the targets like a special audience Like the people that really love my cars and watch my content But yeah, maybe when was she where stuff will go to like bigger people there?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I want to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to make clothes that anyone could have, you know, didn't have my car on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you feel like right now it's a brand like that you can sell in stores like right now with where you are with your merch and how you feel about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you feel like, okay, this is a brand right now that can go into like, I don't know, let's say zoomies, right now Adam and TJ are.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, maybe, I mean, after seeing that, I was about to bring that up like they're doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I don't see why wouldn't it be able to either.
[SPEAKER_02]: But in this current state, so like, okay, so for example, like Adam has like probably, [SPEAKER_02]: probably 50 designs by now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: 100%.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, I don't know if TG has a lot of the TG too.
[SPEAKER_02]: They both have a lot of designs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how that works when you're trying to get into a store.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, either.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be like, and that's like a dream too, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like seeing your clothes in a bowl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you get any of your inspiration from your friend, Dandy?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, 100% because I know he's like big into like a huge bro and I definitely not only inspiration But he just gives me like free game bro about that hype creating hype and scarcity Yeah, he does the same thing bro on a huge scale, but I've got a lot of like tips from him And I think it definitely helped in my business, too, you know, yeah, but he does the same thing like a hype Drop, you know like Limited hats if you don't get it you never getting it again [SPEAKER_02]: But you, so the thing I don't understand, not in a bad way, like what I try to like, I guess figure out is like, you know, you have a following, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if Danny had a following before, but his hat designs are like super unique.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, very different, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: So anybody can have an idea, but if you can't market it properly, then it's not gonna sell.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, true.
[SPEAKER_02]: So how would somebody like him create hype in the beginning as opposed to somebody like yourself?
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I should try to do something different for sure, you know, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do something different than no one else is doing and then he used like social media to it's to his advantage.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he does post like tiktok.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that that's where he started with like tiktok.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he used to talk to kind of pocket and push and create like a little fan base on tiktok.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's his thing to talk for sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for you, it's obviously you do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And are you posting on tiktok at all to market your merch or try to, but you do merch stuff on tiktok or you do a little bit of Instagram.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do like little TikToks here and there, but where is your main promotion for like merch?
[SPEAKER_00]: Puy Instagram, so you just post on Instagram only.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hype it up like pictures of me wearing it, you know No, not really.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah YouTube like in the beginning of the video.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, instead of throwing like a regular person that brand deal I'll do my own brand though, you know like guys before I get into the video my merch shops out right now So fit that, you know [SPEAKER_00]: It's all organic pretty much, but I definitely want to start doing more videos and like commercial styles Yeah, production and some of that to see where if we can even grow a little bit more, you know, add 100%.
[SPEAKER_02]: So back to the car stuff, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: You had the E46 drift build.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you feel about drift build?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that's a little bit different from what you normally are into.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, if I got into photo from Adam and all these people like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and I just wanted to drift about one of the new jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: I built that car.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely want to rebuild it again on the channel.
[SPEAKER_00]: So many people ask about that car too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of like a big staple piece in the channel as well because it was something new.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like drifting and it was it's hot even to this day.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still hot at like right now everyone wants to see drifting.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I crashed it, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what happened to I crashed the car drifting on the street.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hit a curb, bro and Was it bad?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hit a curb.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not like it was leaving a what was your like leaving a car me to something?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this car is not even street legal, bro It's not street legal.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has is not registered.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a shirt nothing, bro It's like a literally like track car as a full roll cage is gutted.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a full dedicated like Formula Jiff car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the Formula Jiff spec roll cage [SPEAKER_00]: Big single turbo.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was crazy and I just took it out on the street with my friend.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just for fun I didn't expect that they had been But I drifted it and I lost control.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hit a curb and ever since then the car has been just like Like the whole structure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything was like messed up on the side.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I've been bent like the frame, but it was pretty bad [SPEAKER_00]: And every since then they just sat at my boy shop and I never rebuilt it and to this day I still haven't done nothing with it Also happy it's in like a storage unit row and so many people ask about it But I've just had other projects, you know, and yeah focusing on other things But I definitely want to like get back to that because the drifting it is cool and I feel like it'll be a cool [SPEAKER_00]: change in content because I haven't done the drifting thing in a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's definitely different for sure, and the drifting stuff is like a lot bigger now than probably it was back then.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also expensive hobby though, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Entire is the expensive tires.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, it's not a street legal car so I'd have to rent a truck and rent a trailer.
[SPEAKER_00]: And trailer is somewhere and get gas and if shit breaks or right crash, it's like it's an expensive hobby but it's fun, it's definitely fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, the GIF cars are cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I could ever get into it, like you said, like you have other things you want to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather build my cars like my dream cars before having like a project car that's going to cost, you know, exactly $12 to $1500 or $2,000 dollars for a weekend, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even after I crashed, I'm like, I should just sell it like as is.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what one else do with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when am I buying it though?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then just put that money toward another car.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could drive on the road every day.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, 100%.
[SPEAKER_00]: And drive it to the GIF.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that one's just not street legal, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So speaking of street legal, the law is in California, a lot different than like Florida for the first probably New York, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you had an incident where you had to go to court for, I guess, your content basically.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the stuff that you're posting on your channel.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what is it about being with that?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still dealing with it right now, like the court thing's not even over, but I'm still dealing with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna like a type of probation type of thing, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm still going through it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they're still watching now I want to be surprised if people are watching this bro, you know trying to catch What was it about?
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, how did that start?
[SPEAKER_00]: It all started from a video with Do you know that you that you took a guy Vittali?
[SPEAKER_00]: He's doing a prank.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still doing it Vittali and Joe like yeah I think you got out now, but that guy [SPEAKER_00]: Bro one day I got a DM from him and he's like yo, I'm streaming I want to do some type of drifting content and I was like and he's like someone told me you're the guy And I was like I guess let me see if I could find some people to set this up Yeah, so I just reached out to some friends over drifters on my yo We should make like this video with this youtuber.
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be a cool little collab [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and behind my friends warehouse, there's just like drifting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's in his warehouse.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like his, I think it's his property.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're drifting on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: We always like, they always drift there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then he was like, oh, this is a perfect place.
[SPEAKER_00]: The professional drifters to let's have Vitali get in a car with one of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the video kind of got a lot of eyes because it was Vitali.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he already had freaking cops looking at him.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's what brought the, [SPEAKER_00]: cops to watch that video and we all got dragged into it from that video bro everyone in that video got something that whatever got a court case But what does it call us what do you a subpoena or something that yeah something like that and damn Everyone involved in that from that day was how to go to court bro like everybody from my video do from my youtube video and They thought I was the guy who put it this whole thing on and I got like [SPEAKER_00]: From I don't know they tried to charge me like spectating a street race or something like that and also like coordinating or something or Promoting reckless driving promoting taking over is promoting this up when I've never been able to take over my life You don't know a difference though.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's another thing too I feel like in California like cops and like the court like they just don't know the difference between takeover of people and like people will just try to [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, enjoy their cars and other cars.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, go to a car meet that's the thing like right now on this probation thing I can't film or post anything that involves drifting or racing row and it's kind of up in there because what did they what do they see as drifting a racing Or you know, I mean, I'm not sure that a car me and what if some kids does a burnout like I'm not working You know, what if you're at beaming based that too like I don't even know bro at this point I don't even know bro my lawyer was like vote just slow it down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't post nothing like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is over with because right now [SPEAKER_00]: They're on your stuff like they're watching everything you do and they're trying to catch anything years anything like catch you slipping bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's bad in California right now and it's crazy guys See other YouTubers in other states like they just film everything, you know, yeah, yeah drifting They film this and that and they don't get no trouble.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see them know you're people cutting up Yeah, it's well, right now they're on my stuff bro like any little thing that's trying to catch me doing it and then shortly after that [SPEAKER_00]: Um, as they were working on that case, I did another video where I drifted on this abandoned road, but literally no one in sight, not to take over where people's lives are endangered.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a abandoned road.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did don't listen to my JD.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did like two little circles and I drove off, bro literally like within a week, I got a ticket in the mill.
[SPEAKER_00]: Reckless driving, vandalism, destruction of highway.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my bro, these dudes are on my videos Just watching bro like literally watching everything I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy And it's a little hard because like this is what I do for a living.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know like making videos And now I had to be careful with what I post because of what I film is bad and it gets a little unmotivating You know like down doing what all's beyond the scenes court fees bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, probably down like $10,000 And just like court and lawyers and stuff like that because of YouTube videos bro like how many times you've been saying [SPEAKER_00]: Um, luckily the lower has been taking care of it, but I had a show up like one or twice and it's already 10k.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, you should have seen two.
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to court and like this lady that's like watching all my stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I walk up to the thing to the to the judge and she makes me out to be like the worse person ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, you should look at his stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: All he does is promote reckless driving, promote street racing.
[SPEAKER_00]: he endangers people's lives like both she was trying to make me out like worse person ever broke and if you watch my videos, I'm nothing like that and not of course it's crazy well like they're just I think they're just going after me because I have audience yeah because they're more influential than of course people in the car scene and like I said they just think I'm promoting this or yeah encouraging this stuff so how has that affected your content because obviously you know you would go from filming whatever you want [SPEAKER_02]: figure it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It affects a lot because Bro, to be honest, people want to see that stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to see drifting.
[SPEAKER_00]: They want to see racing, you know, on the highways and stuff like that, but I just I can't film that stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: No more bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a criminating year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, you're posting it online.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Technically, like, yeah, you wouldn't want to film that, but back in the day, you were able to get away with a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just nowadays, you just can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I tell people, I want people.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just like, be careful, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, what's so, okay, but that isn't motivated to move out of the state.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another reason, like, not only the freaking gas prices, but even that, like, the laws are like, a lot of people are leaving, bro, because the laws are just ridiculous, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't mod your car.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't, you can't even change your exhaust tips in California.
[SPEAKER_00]: like if you're not a fine thing that's just him just the tip of all the not going to change nothing but they're going to say you modified the exhaust and though though uh there's this thing called state referee bro state ref in California yeah I heard about it and other states don't really know about it like I tell people that I was that but it's this is the law that I don't know who came up with but your car the cop could cite you and give you a state ref [SPEAKER_00]: what basically what it is you have to take your car to a police smog station and they have to completely check underneath inside everything I make sure it's completely stock that you see you everything bro like they have to make sure it's completely stock and they sign it off I want to sign off then you could have your car back and drive it but if you get caught driving your car
[SPEAKER_00]: between that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You check in as of like both that impound your car and all the stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they tell you like when they give you that ticket you cannot this car cannot be on the road until you put it back to stock and take it to our small guy and get it back to stock.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it car specific or is it just personal like cars?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that car cannot be on the road and the couple tell you, but like if I see this car on the road again, I'm going to pound it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't haven't seen his content anymore, but Gustavo.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: That literally is the reason why he stopped making content doing everything you remember that the super right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the right super with the.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you kind of like one of the first super is that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, did all the crazy stuff did terrible everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: because of so much like pressure on him with like the cops.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I remember.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shit that I'm going through behind the scenes.
[SPEAKER_00]: He just was like, I'm over this brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not even worth it for him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm just eating.
[SPEAKER_00]: He got a joke.
[SPEAKER_02]: He got a JD after that, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: He got JD then he had a family and he's like, it's not worth it anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he just stopped him bro social media thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: But same with him, he got a state ref.
[SPEAKER_00]: He continued to drive a car because he has to get to work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, you know, like the cops don't really it's like, what if it's your only car?
[SPEAKER_00]: So he drove the car to work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of the cops would literally like, [SPEAKER_00]: on his Instagram same thing and they caught him driving it and he was like you all just I was just driving it to work he's like no you're not right so you posted on Instagram all the time that you're driving it you're going to meet like the bro the cops and Cali are on social media bro it's crazy I don't understand why I'm so sorry I mean maybe it's something [SPEAKER_02]: for sure money.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got to be broke because like there's no other reason why they would be like so aggressive about this stuff like It just doesn't make sense, but I don't think they listen like there's no way we can even voice say like you know There's a big difference between takeovers and what people do like if you hear me and Carlos and I feel like the takeovers is a good reason to act like that like [SPEAKER_00]: 100% by all means like give them the punishment, you know, but like people like and the Gustavo's case is like, well, he's just modding his car, you know, just building it, having fun and you get in trouble for modding your car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it sucks, you know, like it's your car you pay for.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just want to make a car, you know, like.
[SPEAKER_02]: Crater be creative you know is uh is the takeover stuff really bad still because I feel like it's kind of I mean I don't want to say it's died down I still see videos every now and then it's bad still bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still bad bad like every night You'll see just you'll hear donuts and helicopters and everything [SPEAKER_00]: The takeover subs bad and like and they just profile every car guy as a takeover person now Do you feel like that is the biggest reason why a lot of stuff is shifted now or I feel like Valley car seems kind of dead, bro Really like the real car enthusiasts.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I just like it's not worth taking their nice cars out anymore because The cops gonna pull you over and be like you go to takeovers like [SPEAKER_00]: How am I going to take my out of the area to take over?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just enjoying my car, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going for a drive.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if there's any say you can move to, what would be the one?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like you Florida right now, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's definitely a vibe.
[SPEAKER_00]: What part?
[SPEAKER_00]: The cops are chill.
[SPEAKER_00]: Miami's cool because it's a lot like LA, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the city vibe.
[SPEAKER_00]: this super car is yeah I agree the party stuff I guess you say so it's very similar I feel like so I could probably see myself living there but I also feel like I could buy get old fast yeah but I like it here I like I like it a lot I think the car seems cool the people are cool so whether kind of sucks but well yes yeah it doesn't get hot no way it gets hot but it is humid bro you wake up you already sweating like I need another shower it's definitely more humid over here for sure especially in Miami yeah it [SPEAKER_02]: So is that going to be something that we see in the next few years?
[SPEAKER_02]: Possibly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe with all these laws about this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I spoke to you at SEMA last time I spoke to you at SEMA.
[SPEAKER_02]: You were like, man, I was thinking about getting one of these supers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's super good.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got far.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you ended up getting one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Same color as you two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So now you talking about, oh, maybe soon.
[SPEAKER_02]: I probably will, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next month, you're going to be in Miami.
[SPEAKER_00]: You never know you got to transfer all the cars over there and so I was even my head like I was driving on my amy I'm like what do I actually do move down your home?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna ship six freaking cars like yeah, but you I think I think I think Miami's the move Bro, yeah, maybe for a little you know even if it's like a little six month lease one year least just try it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't hurt, you know you can be you can be that far away from me If you don't be that long.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just get a homestay bro, but [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I get really homesick on trips, but like I go to Texas to K after I five days I'm ready to go home like I miss my home.
[SPEAKER_00]: I miss my car's miss my family and friends But over here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't really found homesick So I was like, okay, maybe this is a place I could actually see what's that living Also my car is here too, so that makes it funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, when you have baby hair, bro Yeah, bro, I almost did so I haven't had a baby.
[SPEAKER_00]: I never drive it, bro Like I never drive it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It just sits there.
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't point out sitting at my sister's house because my apartment doesn't have any parking spots from my car [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like if it's just sitting at her house, I should just ship it to Florida and just keep it out there Yeah, and just visit more often and drive have a car out there So I've thought about that leaving a car out here and driving it or just moving find a Nick is coming to Miami Probably will try it out coming to Miami.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you too near you?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just cold on my job too that may be what I like literally work anywhere, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: And make money anywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the same thing with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I was able to kind of move down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: My girlfriend obviously had the transfer jobs, but you could work from anywhere, but working in the, you know, the lobby or the sick.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you have the FAD.
[SPEAKER_02]: You, you don't drive the FAD.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is an FAD, but you don't drive the FAD often, but you crashed.
[SPEAKER_02]: The previous one baby.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you were really upset about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I'd be upset too.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a kind of like a baby Yeah, honestly, man, I watched the video.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I felt bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like damn bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, but I think it's like you know, bro Like when you build a car, it's like it's like it's like your baby.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you put on your hard work and money into it and Once you see a crash, you're like damn.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never gonna be the same again.
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened?
[SPEAKER_00]: What if it's not fixable?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, I was making a left turn and it was like a yield so I had a yields, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sitting in the middle of the intersection, but I was too far in the middle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I went too far, bro But it's because the car was low, so like that car like you had the driver's specific way and I knew when I make a left I had to angle it [SPEAKER_00]: So I went like super left too far in the middle and this car is coming on coming.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm yielding for these straight people.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was making a left.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm yielding and then I was too far in the middle and this girl clipped my headlight, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like she could easily avoid it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But she went straight into my headlight.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we almost went head on pretty much.
[SPEAKER_00]: But our headlight's clipped each other like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like head on.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then she hit this out of the house.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like my left side, her right side, was destroyed, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Her back's popped.
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty much done deal there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was pretty sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was on my first car accident.
[SPEAKER_00]: And first time every getting hit with airbags, and I'll like down.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got out and saw my car messed up, I was like buck.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's crazy too?
[SPEAKER_00]: I was moving into my first ever apartment bro, like that day.
[SPEAKER_00]: You were saying that, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was moving my first load of things to the new apartment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a great day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I get in my first place.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm driving and I crash my car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like the best day turned into the worst days.
[SPEAKER_00]: That on top of it, maybe pretty emotional that they all like buck, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: This sucks, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like worst day ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I saw it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like damn bro like that's you were you were crying in shit too Yeah, I was sad so I'm not like a I'm not calling you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know me Obviously it's sad moment ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably have said to if like I'm [SPEAKER_02]: Um, was a lady.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, no, she was good.
[SPEAKER_00]: She was good.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's good.
[SPEAKER_00]: She tried to suit me right now, but really.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she trying to get more money.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think out of my insurance and it was really not that better accident, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we're going maybe like 20 miles per hour.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the car's had a lot of damage, which was crazy, but luckily me and her were okay, but you know how it is, people in California, especially just trying to get money, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Which she cool in the moment though, or she was just like, yeah, she was cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you know, the first thing I did I got out of there, you were gay and she was like, yeah, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she was like in shock to and she was like, yeah, I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: And her boyfriend got there and he kind of took it to another level.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he was like, what did you do with it?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, damn, so I think it's him trying to make me do this kid.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this kid, you know, like on those days when things like that happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, you know, those people could be the nicest people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_02]: No worry about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next to you know you get hit with that with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they're trying to sue for more money.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's in that you never know people being nice people on day of accident and then it sucks Roll yeah, it sucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember I got when I got my R8 roll three days into it Some dude rear ended me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, not ran he backed into my R8 roll.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a light.
[SPEAKER_00]: He just ran and we just started backing up and crashed into my R8 [SPEAKER_00]: And thankfully it was not bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: There was zero damage, but I could have been a dick to you And I could have took as insurance.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have ran a whole claim.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I got some money out of it But I was like nah, bro, like it's not worth like I don't want to ruin someone's insurance and some of that But they don't care [SPEAKER_00]: I thought I would have some good karma, but now they're assuming me broke from mine.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you got, it was only one accident really that you ever got to, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, well, actually the E46.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was like some little bit of the amount.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I've never talked about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't count.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the RAs not really at accident, I guess.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like just backed into me.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was like my first axon where Airbags pop down.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was pretty scary.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was pretty scary.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was scary.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though we weren't going fast, but still.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you got another FAD after that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, after that, I got a G.A.
[SPEAKER_00]: first.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess it's a signed upgrade.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got a G.A.D.
[SPEAKER_00]: Manual, same thing like kind of same spec as my F.A.D.
[SPEAKER_00]: and shortly after that, this F.A.D.Dill came along.
[SPEAKER_00]: F.A.D.
[SPEAKER_00]: C.S.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my home was selling it for super cheap real first G.S.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, [SPEAKER_00]: I have to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I spent a huge chunk of money on about the FADCS.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've had it for a couple years now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, not the hits like my old car bro.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I don't drive it much.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's an amazing car.
[SPEAKER_00]: The CS2 is better than the last one.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just had like sentiments of value to the first one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't hit the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: So out of all the cars, all the BMWs you've ever had, which one is the best one to drive?
[SPEAKER_00]: Quite the R8.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just because it's my dream car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not my BMWs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, BMWs, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, because I've had all on in 3s.
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably that first and three being manual and I feel like F-80's manual transmission is like, it's the sick bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that car way better than DCT in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It just felt like a driver's car, I love that car a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: F-80?
[SPEAKER_00]: F-80.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jakes are the same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he loves it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he loves it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just different preference for DCT in manual, but I enjoyed the manual F-80 in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a great driver's car, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: F-80's a really good car.
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have to drive one of these on the road drive it bro, and for the money like I think it's a great car for the money Bro, what are they going for now?
[SPEAKER_00]: FBD, they're going crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: FBD Mark is kind of all over the place.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can go in like in the 50s, maybe FBD 2, no 50 minutes.
[SPEAKER_00]: FBD 2, like Jake, so you can get him in the 30s all because it's I don't know people prefer the 4-door more So FBD just 2-door FBD is 4-door.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know FBD 2s are cheaper But it's the drive the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah same thing, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just preference of how it looks [SPEAKER_02]: but so what is it what is it about that makes it a driver's car you feel like when you're driving it i think just a handling like handling for what though exactly like when you're canyons race track stuff like that we don't have i don't we don't have that in florida yeah definitely you can go to the european do some stuff over there but like do you hit the canyons to which car's canyons all the time probably bro like i live like five minutes away from like angeles christ highway so it's like a sick canyon road bro like it's literally like a race track it's like every car guys gene like people go there all over the world just to go to angeles highway [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, like this is a cool driver's car for sure, and I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just I love that car bro into cool car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you hit the canyons with the when you did?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was even like my first YouTube video like put a gov on P.O.B.
[SPEAKER_00]: Drive to the canyons with this car You still feel like the F-80 is better than this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so too.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just newer But it's not too new.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another I think people like that the JD's like two new two new technology It's too refined.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the F-80's like the last of its kind where it's like it's very raw But it's still like modern in a way too [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's a wild balance between this and the G80.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely like perfect balance car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, both of y'all say in this, I might have to drive one rolling and they're like, I'm not driving one here, but I have to drive one and see like what it's about because my first car was like a Honda Civic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a four door, it was manual.
[SPEAKER_02]: I never really got to drive a manual car that like, [SPEAKER_02]: What's kind of expensive like that car was like I spent 1200 bucks in my first car, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I never really got to draw like a manual car that was like expensive where it's like, okay This is like a driver's car like even the E36 apparently people say that's like one of the best love that car Yeah, so it's like people say that's like one of the best drivers being loved.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's broke You really think about it like people love being loved even the G80 though G is cool [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like JD is a more straight line car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I agree.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where you see them all, he's racing, and people try to make the fast JD.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They just like, little cheat code to rather fast.
[SPEAKER_02]: The purpose is probably different to not only cars.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like how it used to be back then, where they were focused on like, you know, trying to compete with other brands, so on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, right now, BMW is doing it there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're one of the top brands right now, at least everyone's buying them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The community's real.
[SPEAKER_02]: So being here at BMR Invasion, [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it was cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was definitely bigger than last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like every year just keeps getting bigger Yeah, every Florida one, every ally one just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger So the turn out was great this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I lay out was better right because last year you were like in a different spot I was cool because they put us like in front row So you walk in and yeah, you see my booth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and I've revealed my G80 rap there too So that was cool too everyone came out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was really cool [SPEAKER_02]: What is next for your like the channel?
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you trying to do now because obviously there's been a shift obviously in your content so what's what's the next plan for it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think just keep trying to do better every year.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, try to do better be more consistent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep inspiring more people and just keep building my car collection I love cars now too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was already that's my dream car do so like one of that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have so many dream cars, but what's the next dream car?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, that end goal is the SBJ.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to SBJ so bad, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll sell everything for one SBJ.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I don't know why something about SBJ is like, it's just the perfect car in my opinion, but the way it looks, the way it sounds, everything, bro, the presence of it, but you know, I'm sure I work my way up and enjoy every car, you know, along the way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I want to experience everything, you know, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to, after that, I want to move up and just keep going up and up and up and up, you know, like, you're a con maybe, maybe more clearance, 720.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'll see a hurricane pretty well.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like the same thing is already that's what I think it's kind of like fighting me because like it's gonna be the same thing again You know, but we'll see maybe hurt on next.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got this one cerebles on the already now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love it That's pretty much it for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I kind of did everything you could do bro I did like carve of our hood carve of our wing the fuselift [SPEAKER_00]: The twin turbo kit, which is probably one of the biggest things, you know, everyone wants the twin turbo V10.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did BBS wheels, also another thing that's like, my dream wheels, you know, I built like my G-Mari.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like my dream car, my gym mods, my dream wheels, I did everything's at car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love that thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So how much do you think you are at money-wise in all these cars right now?
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you like on them?
[SPEAKER_02]: I can even say a month ago, because some of them are paid off already and some of them are paying.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, how much do you think you've spent overall?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what's your total car collection?
[SPEAKER_02]: What is your total car collection value at?
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never accounted up, but I mean, like, if I wanted to sell everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the...
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I can sell the Corvette for like 50K, probably the Super Corvette.
[SPEAKER_00]: Zero six, six, six.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, okay, six, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can buy you a 50K, it's not the Super 50, that's 100.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's a few hundred thousand dollars of cars, probably.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Ari's the only one I haven't paid my son.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that car is what, like, 150, 140?
[SPEAKER_00]: I got it for 130, but with the turn-server kit, I find it like 150, 60, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so a couple, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I mean, I have a lot of money put into the cars for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never actually sat there and counted it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't want to well, I mean you have cars that like most people would want like that's that's a car like it ain't like you have like [SPEAKER_02]: like all like see like you have a what is it M M M 3 you said yeah the C S yes yeah so it's like you have like all like you know limit addition models yeah that's only like very limited one right right so it's like you have cars that people want to obviously attain yeah I try to get like a whole variety too bro you know like I'll strictly only be in W's yeah 3646 and I was like but I need to open up my
[SPEAKER_00]: audience, dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I got the Corvette.
[SPEAKER_00]: That brought us to new people, the GTR, brought in like some JDM people, and then the R8 now, a super car people are watching now.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's super smart with what I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to like divers the collection, different cars.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you have a C6, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: 06.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and you Jake said you drove the C7.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I drove his.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So between the C6 Corvette and the C7, what do you think is better drive-wise?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro is hard because I feel like the C6 is more iconic.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, looks the way everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know like yeah I feel like that's like when you think of Corbyn you think of a C6 But after driving this car and it was manual so it was pretty similar spec to my my C6.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah I'll like bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like just like a revamped C6.
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt really really sick like not too modern Just how it's talking about the F8 like you're too modern, but just enough like [SPEAKER_00]: It's like an upgraded Xeos.c6.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like it, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to see how, I'll probably get a C7 soon, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So between the two of you out of, if you had, if you had the money to buy whatever C6 with C7, you wanted, which one of you buy this?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's super hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say C7 only because it comes with a super charger and all this, like, just more technology, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say C7.
[SPEAKER_00]: Driving wise?
[SPEAKER_00]: And driving wise, too, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: C7 just, it's more, more, more, or newer, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: They just fixed everything, made it into a newer car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but they didn't have the G80 right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's still on the road.
[SPEAKER_00]: They like a little you know, and I'm not ruined the big on saying yeah, yeah, it was too modern But the seven is not too modern.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like when you get to see eight, maybe not see it's a whole different thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's not that you're going to buy one of those?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think I would ever get to see eight.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like them bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not in your car at all none of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nah, like they sound cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's zero sixes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard one yesterday that she was loud bro, but I just don't like C8's bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: They just like [SPEAKER_00]: They sound good, but yeah, it's just not the same thing as like having the like the C8 people, but like the scene kind of ruined You know, it's like the Miami rental car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so you see on me just like It's true, you know, that's facts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you uh, so Freshkicks has a C6, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so you guys like you guys like like [SPEAKER_00]: get inspiration off of each other because like that's also controversial too like people always say like bro so annoying like so but you guys are boys we're boys I don't think we want to like know that that's what I'm saying you know that I'm like bro I see one of the daily bases are he'll reveal he'll reveal a card of me before the internet and I do the same thing like look what I just bought yeah so like we already know it or we got before everybody else knows posted yeah so like [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he already knew I bought a C6 that matched his car like look at this car ball I was literally matches your car.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't mean the buyer read one.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that matches his old C6 He was just but it just happened to fall in my hands a good deal And I was like oh my get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I already could hear people saying you copy fish cakes.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, does that bother you a little bit But like I say he's my boy, so doesn't matter, but you don't respond to people anyways, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I get a lot of not a lot of hate, but like I see a lot of hate on there But I don't really respond to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's part of the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're gonna get hate the internet [SPEAKER_00]: toxic sometimes, but you guys just get over it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it comes with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's tough.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's tough, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big thing about like, people that come out to me, ask for advice on my brother's ignore everything, block it out because if you start paying attention to it, I should get this, like, courage.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you don't want to.
[SPEAKER_02]: But how do you know when the bad hates stuff outweighs a good?
[SPEAKER_02]: Where it's like damn, like, nah, I think people are really, like they put the like people don't really know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think that's just who you are, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like people could really see my personality through my videos.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I get so much love, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's very rarely hate.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if it is hate, it's from people that don't really support me, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is people that just find me real quick and like see the like real quick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like judge me really fast, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is like okay, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's not it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So out of all the cars in your fleet, what is your favorite car?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say the R8 only because I literally work my ass off for that car, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, everything that I did in my whole career, like led me to get that car broke.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I literally work my ass off again, and it's not daddy's money.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd have on me this and gave me the hard work mentality, but [SPEAKER_00]: through from there to now like I worked my ass on bro for like that already like I wanted an out of your soul bed row and why but that's definitely one of my favorite cars because of that reason and also just the way it drives like both a super carbo you get in and you feel like you're driving a super car you feel just like that I really did this shit yeah crazy bro it's so it's hard it's hard of one up would you would you ever get like a biper bipers cool I I've been in jakes but I don't know I like it I like all cars but I want to I want
[SPEAKER_02]: But like this car is like your dream car of course, and you got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You attained it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like after this obviously you said SVJ, you want a hurricane I want a hurricane maybe like it's hard.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have that car because it's like hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where do you go up from there?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know I know that's why I kind of want to go in steps to come back and jump me straight to like something crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, then what bro You know I mean like what do we get now [SPEAKER_00]: So I want to like I want to try to experience every supercar if I could you know Yeah, I want to take a board of the already.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to get rid of it get like a lamb, oh, maybe Okay, I think once I get board of that, maybe seven 20 and just keep working my way up and no for artists Experience goes maybe for already, but I feel like for content purposes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like lambels do better You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: They do somehow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the other thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes on my head when I'm buying a car like I'm like how is it gonna do for content?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I bought the super yeah because I'm like there's a huge audience for this bro Like people love super [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of BMW like my that's my thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like let me get in both showing up like all the super videos I've been doing like amazing Really worked out bro like I literally bought that car for content.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not want to super I just I was gonna try it out and I needed to buy something before the year and then So let me buy a super.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I literally bought it like a couple of days before the year and this so [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so I was like, I'll write it off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool, a little write off, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, damn.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to make it some money.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a change to change.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but yeah, that one's my favorite.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the Corvette too, just because of how different it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, my whole life, I'm Jim and BMW.
[SPEAKER_00]: So to drive like something like a Corvette C6, it's completely different than everything else.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like it's cam-dow, like a huge cam, and it's a lot of attention, I'm sure, too, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: All the attention, but everyone looks at it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like everyone sees the bright red and the cam, you know, like, bro, you hear a cam Corvette pull-up, everyone was like, [SPEAKER_00]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like a beast.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds good.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you're driving, it's a whole experience.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that also is equally as sick as the R8 in my opinion, which is crazy, because they're whole different categories of my time, but both the experience you get driving Corvette cammed out like that, manual, like it's so raw.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no technology in that shape, roll.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you got to drive that shape.
[SPEAKER_00]: You feel like a man, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the R8's very smooth, you just shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a different car.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little bit different car, a different car.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I love my whole collection is very the sold divers, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I could jump in the car and just feel so different.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, between the Corvette and Ari, it's like my favorite to drive right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but I always love BMWs.
[SPEAKER_00]: BMWs always have my heart, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: I always have a BMW in the collection no matter what.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to, I mean, this is where it started all right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I started it, of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: And by this ship back, we didn't really talk much about that, but yeah, I sold it.
[SPEAKER_00]: had it when I was 18.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm 28 now, Rose.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, 29 now.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, 11 years ago brought we bought that car on my dad bought it for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you sold it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I sold it five years ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: It disappeared.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where it went.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still listen to some random guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was my, he was coming to the shop that phone too, actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were working on his car.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just a customer and he's like, who's cars that I want to buy it?
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a rich Asian guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like, I [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, it's mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was like, I want to buy it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have my son, I'm not selling it bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Boy, he came with a stack of cash in a bag, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like some drug dealer type shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to sell it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I like that the cash.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like damn.
[SPEAKER_00]: How much was in there?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like $27,000.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it?
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a great cash, bro?
[SPEAKER_00]: Were you up on it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it was like a broke even.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I drove five years on my hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And whatever, why not?
[SPEAKER_00]: I put so many miles on my car from buying it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I put like, [SPEAKER_00]: probably like 70,000 miles on it and so I broke even.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, what's it called?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he came with the cash and I let it go.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was pretty sad because I'm like, that wasn't ready to sell it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the cash looked cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could maybe buy something else now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so, um, I put it to my GTR.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden you had the GTR, so yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, it disappeared.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where it went.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know the guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know his Instagram, nothing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It disappeared.
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden, like one day, my friend hit me up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a guy that I knew in the car scene, he was like, y'all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Does this car look familiar?
[SPEAKER_00]: He bought my old car bag, bro, and I was like, what the heck?
[SPEAKER_00]: How'd you find that?
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was posted on Facebook for one day and I bought it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and I was like, dude, it's living my old car.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, dude, when you're ready to sell it, sell it to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: How'd you know with your old car, though?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the same rap, the same everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: So everything was the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was bro, like, okay, I never changed it, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it was the same car.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then that guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: ended up keeping it for like a year or two and he never changed anything either.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like over the years we're like this car got super messed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got rap got beat up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything was beat up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just neglected sitting in the sun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: The carbon roof was all messed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then yeah like a couple months ago you know that you already a salary if you want to buy it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like do I have to.
[SPEAKER_00]: How am I going to pass up opportunity to buy my first car back?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I bought it, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're sort of yeah, it came back to me somehow and I brought it back to life again because like I said it was destroyed Right, so I don't do a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it looks good now fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is my color.
[SPEAKER_02]: What color was it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Me and Vore that brand that's right there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, we actually created our own color ppf so that's like oh, no a finding it color.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I made that red from scratch [SPEAKER_00]: Like we literally made the perfect red in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like it's paint.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it looks so good, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's super glossy, and yeah, it's colored.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have something in rap, so the quality isn't saying.

[SPEAKER_02]: You buy an R.A. to buy your old car back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll try buy the Supra by the crazy with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just re-invest all the money back into the cars, you know, all the money goes straight back into it and just to make more content.
[SPEAKER_02]: Literally.

[SPEAKER_02]: Because I comments too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got like 10 cars between got a house yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you doing?

[SPEAKER_00]: Why would a buy a house in California be stuck there and then you know like true?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know I might move to Florida.
[SPEAKER_00]: I might move to Texas.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so let me find out where I want to live permanently Then I'll buy my house on the time is right, but right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you know I'm I'm doing pretty good for myself and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, when the time is right [SPEAKER_00]: I'll buy a house.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just moved to Florida.

[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, bro, I feel you've got to travel over or find where you want to stay in the back and buy your friend house.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're about to buy, you're about to get a loan for 30 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and I heard people talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not even that smart.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, right now it's long term.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Unless you have money, unless you have an opportunity to make money.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like to go buy a house.
[SPEAKER_02]: when the market's crazy right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're in a home, if you're in a market to buy, you could buy, but if not, it's probably better just right in the city.
[SPEAKER_00]: I also heard another YouTuber talking about this on he was saying a big reason I he rents to is because you buy a house, what if people start finding out where you live, bro, you can't just get up and leave.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, it's true, bro, people have found that where I live already.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just like, bro, like, [SPEAKER_00]: I have no personal face dude.

About this episode
Finding Nick breaks down how his car-focused brand grew from shooting music videos to becoming a full-time YouTuber, starting with his bagged 1973/early BMW obsession and the E36 that “started everything” via simple POV drives. He talks camera gear, posting daily, and how each new car (E46 drift, multiple M3s, GTR, R8, Corvettes) fueled both content and audience growth. The conversation turns serious with California legal trouble tied to drifting/racing videos, plus merch strategy—quality, hype drops, and organic marketing. He also shares why he’s considering moving from California and what’s next (dream: SVJ).
In todays episode we sit with FindingNick who breaks down his content strategy, brand growth, and how it led to owning multiple BMW dream cars while navigating the automotive scene.
