The Bring a Trailer

podcast. Hello everybody and welcome

back to the Bring a Trailer podcast.

Alex Porter is my name, director of

operations for the company. Not coming

to you today from our studio in San

Francisco because we are at Westside

Collector Car Storage because our guest

is Matt Farah. Hello. Thanks for doing

this, Matt. We really appreciate it.

Thanks. It's I put I put the name of the

place on the water so people can read

You saw my eyes shoot down right now.

Read it when they do. They cuz they

sometimes they flip they flip-flop the

Cwords. Totally. And I was going to

freeze up in the moment, too. I put it

on the water bottles and then I put it

right a little close to your line of

sight and then you then you have no,

believe it or not, I actually angled it.

I was ready to go. Well, I put when I

put five water bottles on the table.

Yeah. How uh how are you doing? Thank

you for coming. Thanks for having us. We

really appreciate it, man. Uh thanks for

coming to me. Make it easy. Well, I

mean, incredibly hospitable of you to

have us. um love to talk about your

background and everything, but I thought

we could talk about the building a

little bit first cuz it's so impressive.

You just gave us a little tour. You said

you opened this spot in 2020. Yeah, we

bought the property in 2016 and then

opened in 2020. Four years of

construction. Yeah. Well, it was like a

year and a half of permitting and then

two and a half years of construction.

What did you say the number of trucks of

cement it took to pour the thing? the

the underground level um the walls and

the the floor of the underground level

was 166 trucks which we did in 18 hours.

They're just coming in one after

another. They were lined up all the way

like a half a mile down the road. What

was your stability level? I presume you

were standing there watching it all go

down. Uh I didn't stand there for all 18

hours, but I did stand there and watch

for a bunch of and it is really

something. And I'm pretty sure I put an

apologetic post on Instagram. You know,

like I I'm like a pretty considerate

person is is like a thing of mine. I

like to be considerate. I don't like to

be in the way. I don't like to be

blocking things. Sure. And I took a

picture of all the trucks and put them

on Instagram and I was like, "Sorry,

LA." Today like it's me. Yeah. Like it's

not normally I'm I'm, you know, and and

ever since then when I see a line of

trucks, whether they're dump trucks or

I'm a little more sympathetic. They just

they have to be there. You know, they

didn't choose that day. How did the idea

come about? I mean, you're, you know,

just kind of famous car personality guy,

YouTuber, automotive journalist, all

these things, but how did collector car

storage come into your brain? You've

been thinking about it for a long time.

I mean, I certainly didn't like invent

any of Sure. Although a little bit. You

said you invented one thing out there.

Oh, the battery tender thing. Yeah, that

that idea. No, but uh I was a customer.

I was the customer and I had been

spoiled for a long time. You mean you

were imagining what you would want if

you were No, I was literally the

customer. like I had too many cars. I

didn't have anywhere to put them. And I

went through the

mathematical plan of okay, well, I have

these many cars and here's where I live

and what are my options? Can I get

storage units? Can I get a little

building for myself? And it was like it

very quickly it was like little building

math bad. Slightly bigger building math

still bad. Still bad. Still bad still.

And it wasn't until you got like an

enormous building and started an entire

business that math got good. Yeah. And

so it was like, well, okay. And uh I

thought, you know, if I had this

problem, maybe other people in the area

would have a similar problem and could

use a solution. Totally. And

specifically in this area on the west

side, right? I mean, you're close to LAX

here and everything. It's a hyper local

business. Unfortunately, because I make

videos and do things on the internet,

it's a brand that's known by people who

don't live here. But otherwise, there

would be no reason to because our

customers live very close. And actually,

not only do a tremendous number of

people live close to the facility. It's

not Well, that's not entirely true. It's

not a tremendous, but a significant

percentage of people live either walking

distance or a very short drive. a

disproportionate number of the cars. Two

of my clients that are walking distance,

just two people represent between the

two of them like 16 to 18% of the cost.

Holy crap. So like that I mean that

happens. I got a couple of big

collectors here so like that'll happen.

But one of them can walk. That's

amazing. That person just shows up a lot

which is fine. That's amazing. Yeah. And

then you've got expansion plans. You're

taking over the world. So you were

saying you got another facility and a

third on the way. Yeah. I mean,

crucially, not the world like that. No,

seriously, because people um I I've

gotten emails and Yeah, I guess there's

people who have these you could

franchise every franchise. You want to

open one in Miami or San Francisco or

whatever. And you know, I grew up

watching my father travel all over the

world looking at retail stores and

factories for his businesses that he was

in. And I also, the guy I bought my

Lamborghini Countach from, a guy named

David, owns a bunch of restaurants in

LA. And I compare his lifestyle to my

father's. Both have like webs of

businesses. Yeah. Right. But global

versus local. Yeah. And David would just

like three times, four times a week do a

lap around LA of all the restaurants.

And my dad is on like the redeye to

Tokyo. And so given the hyper local

nature of this business, world

domination I have no interest in. I like

let's talk about like county maybe

county domination, you know what I mean?

Like maybe maybe like a section of the

county but you know between the 10

freeway and you know whatever. But but

obviously you know putting this up and

doing everything and running it was not

so painful that you didn't want to do

more. Right. Well I mean there's if

you're a hustler and I'd like to think I

am a hustler. I think you are. I think

that's fair. And if you're a hustler,

you know, when you have one building and

you

are lucky enough and maybe smart enough

and whatever that you sell out the

building and now you're full.

Everyone you have to say I'm sorry we're

full to it. It it feels like leaving

money on. So the urge to grow is natural

if you find success. I think there's a

bring a trailer parallel there. We hate

saying no to people, right? We would

like to have the capacity for everyone

who has a car that we'd like to sell.

And and even here in Playa right now and

actually I think in our other store

we're sold out and we are on a waiting

list right now. Amazing. Um which is

great. I mean look operating. Yeah.

Congrats dude. 2023 was rough actually.

We had grow Yeah, we had growth pandemic

era growth and then we had quite a

retraction right when the market turned

in the first half of 23 which was right

when we opened our second story. Yeah.

Okay. And so the second half of 23 and

the beginning of 24 were scary. And I

had bought the other building too. Oh,

you were already like out on that one.

You were already committed. Yeah. Yeah.

I had one, you know, I had a building I

couldn't really fill and then another

one that I had bought and was waiting to

start renovations on and it was I was

sweating. Jeez, dude. But, you know, the

things turned and we got whatever

momentum or the market or the vibes or

it was tax season or whatever, you know,

whatever happened. But we didn't change

anything. Whatever happened, people

came. They showed up eventually. And so

I, like I said, I bought the building

next door to that one. So I'm not

opening a third facility, but I'm

doubling the capacity of the second one.

The renderings look awesome. Thank you.

Yeah. And I mean eventually, like I like

I kind of do You're definitely doing

this stylishly. Like it looks rad. And

we have designy friends. Yeah. But like

I kind of do know when enough is enough.

I'm not that greedy. I don't need to

take over the universe. And if I had

four or five of these around Southern

California and could satisfy a market

that needs it. I mean, yes, I want to

make money. Yes, I want to have a

commercial real estate portfolio. Yes, I

think it's a cool business to be in and

it suits my personality well. But I also

think you don't want to suck up all your

time though either, right? I mean, you

keep pursuing your other things. Yeah.

Right. No, making videos takes way more

time than this for me and brings in way

less money. I only continue to make

videos because being out there and being

on location at stuff and being in the

places where car people are and all that

is such a marketing advantage to this. I

I have to keep doing that. You still

like it? You still like doing it? Uh

making videos literally? No, I don't. I

like writing. I like doing podcasts. I

like being involved in the community.

We're technically colleagues a little

bit via Hurst. How much are you doing

that these days? How much you track on

the mastad? I know you're on the mastad

one or two issues ago, I think it was. I

read your uh SoCal driving piece. All

the routes around which was a rad piece.

It was a good piece. I've been working

on that one for a long time. I really

wanted to do that one. We had the

cgrapher. Oh, dude. The map. Beautiful.

Yeah. Yeah. Roaden track is really fun.

It's probably my favorite thing I do.

Okay. I mean, in terms of like cuz I

have the highest job you can get at the

magazine before it starts to be less

fun. Yeah. Like I don't have to go to

editor at large. What's your That's the

Peter Egan title. That's a great title.

It's the best It's by far the best

magazine title to have because you only

have to do fun gigs and you don't have

to go to meetings. Yes. Plus, it's just

a sick title to me to say. Yeah. It

sounds like you're on the run. Totally.

And I like the people I work with. I

love the It was the magazine I read

growing up. same writing there. You

know, being the guy who reviews

supercars for that magazine is quite the

thing. Of course. Of course. But that's

a I'm just kind of trying to get the

idea of like what you know, what you're

spending most of your time doing,

whether it's the storage. I mean, you've

got so many hustles, dude. Look, I the

best thing, not the best thing, but but

a great thing about the storage business

is we're in it right now. We're here,

we're recording this show. So, the the

media business and the storage business

are complimentary to each other. storage

business gets marketing and the media

business gets a home. Yeah. Right. And

they're both very useful to each other.

If if I didn't have that need, if one

business didn't need marketing and the

other business didn't need a home, it

would be a minus two for both. You know,

100%. And so that's just like a thing

that like like the business needs to

serve like my life. Y and and also by

the way, crucially the lives of my

employees. Yeah. I really care about

this kind of stuff and I think that this

sort of business like yes it's fancy

parking for rich people like it totally.

But your guys are stoked. They were

stoked to tell me about it as soon as I

walked in. Yeah, it is. But also it's it

allows those same rich people to live in

a dense semi-urban semiwalkable like I

said 18% of the thing two guys who walk

here. Yeah. you know, they live in a

sort of community across the street that

has lots of luxury housing units. And

this is exactly like my idea of this. A

fully walkable community. When are you

getting one? I live up the road. Not far

away. I'm not far away. But a walkable

community that has all of the the things

and then on the outskirts of it, a

regular ass parking garage for regular

cars and then a fancy parking garage for

the fancy cars. Like that's like and so

it allows these people to remain in this

area and do their hobby as opposed to

being like well I have six cars so I

have to move to totally Calabasas or

Thousand Oaks or whatever stick them all

over the place. All those things that's

not the primary reason for doing the

business but like from the outside you

don't know what's in here. It doesn't

make the neighborhood ugly. It doesn't

look like parking and it allows people

who are contributing a decent amount to

the tax base to remain in this area

rather than flee. So it's good for that

kind of thing. Totally. And also I live

nearby and my cars were here. So that's

fantastic. Yeah. Is the count here by

the way. Did that that's actually the

other thing that happens is that I say

my cars are here. Meanwhile they're at

the other store cuz we what happened we

filled this one up first. My cars are

the they get they get lowest priority,

right? Yeah. My cars are the first cars

to uh to get moved out. Yes, for sure.

Of course. Of course. They get the short

shrift. Yep. So, they're all they're all

now far away. Yeah. That's the downside

of being the responsible business owner,

right? I just I like money. I You know

what I mean? I could say I could say,

"No, I'm sorry. Like, we're sold out and

like my cars are taking up three or four

of the spaces, but I can't I'm like no,

no, yes, I can't say no to your money.

My cars can go somewhere else. By the

way, did the restaurant tour who you

bought that car from, did he do his big

lap in the coach ever? Did he ever

actually drive it around as his like No,

he actually What a sick thing if you

were rolling up to all your restaurants

in that car. Well, he uh you know, he

was sort of a um he had a a a stealth

car. Oh, interesting. He had a very nice

car collection. I mean, I don't know

what his current status is. In fact, his

house may have burned. Palisades fire.

But uh he would roll around to the

restaurants in a beater old Honda CRV

first gen. Just invisible. As invisible,

forgettable as it gets. I kind of

respect it. I kind of I do I do respect

it and I knew exactly what he was doing.

But on the other hand, um I would need

if even if I wanted to do that, if I

wanted a beater so that you know they

didn't think I was, you know, skimming

the tips or whatever, it would have to

be something very comfortable. Yeah, for

sure. They have have to have a good

seat. Do you have an appreciation for

vehicles like that? Do you still like to

cruise around? Our our my boss, the head

of our auctions, Howard Swig, he loves

like a rental Sonata. Like he has all

these fancy cars and all this

experience, but he gets excited

sometimes about pedestrian cars. Does

that ever Well, no. I mean, I I love an

appliance. I absolutely love an

appliance. We had a Ford Mache, which is

a toaster for 3 years, but I mean, it

really did serve its purpose. And and

here in LA, or to a certain degree in

San Francisco, but definitely in LA,

you're going light to light, you're

sitting in traffic, 90 degree turns, you

know, you have your canyons, that's a

separate thing, but every day running

errands, going to work. I love an EV.

You're pro You're pro mache. Is that

your fave? Well, now I have the the tan

outside. The tan cross turismo. That's

the good. That's the the good [ __ ] And

so still an appliance, but in my

opinion, a very elevated one. Yeah. So,

um, like I I understand what you mean

about like an invisible sometimes. I

mean, you've driven so many wild things.

Sometimes like there's almost like a

reversion. And I've noticed it in other

car people too where like kind of there

was a Chris Harris video where he's

talking up the merits of the 2CV like

the 12 horse one. You know what I mean?

Where you get you really there

simplicity or kind of pedestrian aspects

uh or the nature of a car can kind of be

exciting for somebody who's experienced

so many things like we have between my

wife and I we have eight cars and it's a

pretty big spread. Okay. I've got you

know the Countach which is mid

restoration right now. It's pin motor

out. Oh yeah. Motor and gearbox in a

different country. Motor and gear box

are in Italy. Yeah, they're in Italy.

Yeah, it'll be a thing. It'll be It'll

be real funny in 20 years. Yeah. Um,

it's not funny. Need to open up a fourth

fourth storage location. Now it's sad.

It will eventually be funny. I promise.

And I have an NSX 2005 NSX. Oh, do you?

I just sold mine yesterday. Did you?

Yeah, I did. On the site? On the site?

Yet 74 grand for a 91 with 90,000 m on

it. Shout out to Art Cervantes DWA Art.

It was his car. It was the It was his

car. I bought it from him. That for a 91

with 90,000 m. That is a fabulous

result. It was a fabulous result. Uh

Matt Crandle 911R, one of our power

sellers, sold it for me. I am going to

be You're a local partner, too. The I'm

a local partner and I'm going to be

coming in. We have a car in the queue

right now. We got a It's a 430 Spider

that's going up. Oh, cool. which other

than aftermarket wheels is actually

quite a nice car. Black. Is it here in

the facility right now? It's at the

other side. Okay. Okay. Um but uh we got

that. And then I've got I'm going to

actually talk to you about this cuz I

got a four top coming in. Okay. I have

one of my best clients here who wants to

sell four cars at once. Interesting. And

he's in Oregon. Okay. So, he was asking

about sending the cars down here. And I

go, "No, no. We're going to come to you

and do it up there. But in order for it

to be cost effective, I need you guys to

run all four. Not quote simultaneous,

but on the same day. Yeah, we could do

that. Which of course you could do. No,

but like I'm your guy, Matt. I literally

will need to have to send someone to

Oregon to sit there. Yeah. In case

there's also it can get complicated.

Somebody's got to be able to answer all

the, you know, questions at the same

time. I can't do it remotely. But if I

have to send an employee to state in

Oregon for a week, that's cheaper than

shipping four cars close to California.

But basically, you're going to take the

services you provide here and ship them

out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Great. I've

already done I bought my NSX from this

guy. The reason that's how I got

started, he's now he replaced my NSX

with another NSX, which he's now going

to sell. And it's blue. Oh man. What's

the interior color? Don't know. I think

it's blue. If it's low, we've had some

huge results on those fixed headlights.

Yeah, mine is a banger. Mine is an '05

with 20,000 mi. Yeah, those are big

money cars now. Banger. Yeah, but I'm

not selling it. I love it. I'm glad you

got one. My colleague will never sell

his and I love my car. I drove it 20,000

miles and I freaking loved it. And then

I have my 718 Spider that has a Demand

motor in it that actually is downstairs

behind and I saw that car at the last

time I saw you was at Lufkault in the

Bay. You had that car there, didn't you?

The air water car. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's actually going to be on a stand at

this air water as well. Wait in like a

month or something like that. They're

doing a mid engine thing, so it's stand

for that. You drive that a fair amount.

Yeah. I've got like 6,000 miles on it,

which for me is is a bit How's that

monster motor treating you? It's the

best. It's the best. But then, you know,

my wife has a Mitsubishi Delica, the

little van, little Japanese L300, uh,

low roof, captain's chairs. Fabulous.

Absolutely fabulous. She drive that a

fair amount. Right hand drive, right?

Right hand drive. Yeah, she drives it.

It's got 52,000 kilometers on it.

Really, really low cams. Really good.

And then she has a POW. A fabulous POW.

No kidding. She has literally the nicest

POW I've ever seen. 80,000 km, but it's

mint. Those were both her choices, the

POW and the Delica. The van was her

choice. I got her the POW for her

birthday two years ago, and she loves

it. But but that to go back to Chris

Harris and the 2CV, the Delica and the

POW are both extremely, you know,

honest, simple. You find charm in them

though when you drive. Oh, they're the

most charm. They're slow as [ __ ] The

POW is 57 horsepower. Um, one It's a

little turbo four. I can't remember. No,

the Figuro got a turbo. The POW is NA.

The power is NA. Okay, that's right. The

Figo is 80 horsepower. The turbo. So if

you if you break the POW, you can buy

motor Figuro engine long assembly long

block with turbo. Yeah, your gears are

turning on that one. Totally. It's

awesome. That's great. No, that car, the

powertrain is such a piece of [ __ ] but

it's so great aesthetically. It's so

lovely that that is the kind of thing

that I would eventually invest the money

in converting to an EV. Oh, interesting.

to me. EV conversion. Has that been done

with one of those before? I don't think

so. But they've done minis. I mean, it

would be it would basically be adapting

a mounting kit for whatever they're

doing with a Mini pretty much. I mean,

it's like it's it's all the same, just

sheet metal. Yeah. But, uh, you know,

for me, the EV conversions of classic

cars, they're great for cars where the

gas powertrain is a liability and not an

asset. Sure. Like, I'm not into like

What have you driven What have you

driven in terms of EV conversions? I've

done a Shelby Cobra. No kidding. I've

done a a 911. Um I've done a classic

like muscle car. It was like a Camaro.

People doing a lot to Beatles and Vans.

So the Vans I totally get totally get

Beatles. Um how was the Cobra with an

electric engine? Awful. I mean and not

because it was made badly. It was just

because like the V8 is what you want.

Who wants a Cobra that like who wants

that? And and I I feel the same way

about the 911s. Yeah. Those type of cars

aren't as good of EVs as my new EV.

Yeah. And they don't give the vibe that

I'm seeking from those types of cars.

But you show me a vintage Rolls or a big

finale caddy or a wagon ear, you know,

or something that's like just all style,

all cruise, and the the motor is just

the motor is meant to be a big quiet

thing anyways, right? Yeah. where where

where they attempted um the rules.

You're not supposed to hear the engine,

right? Yeah. So, like where where they

attempted refinement, but they were at

the limit of their time and you can now

improve that refinement and the torque.

That's like great, but like who cares

about an EV sports car, you know? And I

love EVs. I kind of tend to agree, but

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're in a

transitional period for some of that

kind of stuff. Well, and you know, the

same, you know, thousand rich people

hoover up every car, so they need their

hundth toy because on the third, you

know, Saturday of the corner, you know,

I flip a coin and if it lands heads, I

take my electric 91. It is really

fascinating how it's the same group of

people moving all these cars around,

isn't it? It's fascinating. You You've

noticed this. Of course, you have the

data. You I know a lot of these people.

Yeah. For me, it's the vibe. you guys

actually have the data that it's the

same, you know, whether you go to the

quail, right? Like everybody No, it's

like, oh, that used to be my car and

then David had it and John had it. I

bought it back. Yeah. Or or in even the

new stuff, you know, it's not, oh, do

you want a Cono Zig or a Pagani? It's

like, no, no. The same seven guys just

did a lap and put a deposit at every

stand. And some of them are like the

patrons for these rich modern supercar

makers, right? It's like Picasso had

four guys, right? Like it's how much

credit Jay-Z gets for like 5% of the

Nets. Meanwhile, like some dude no one's

ever heard of owns like 70% of Totally.

Totally. Totally, man. Oh man. Just for

the allocations. I swear to God, man.

The Saudis are in with McLaren just for

the allocations. And Porsche Porsche can

exert real pressure with their

allocations. We see it on BAT, right?

Like if people really care about those

allocations, like a lot a lot. Like a

lot a lot. People

buy bad cars that they don't want,

right? Because they're so afraid of not

being This is true of watches, too,

isn't it? Rolex kind of does the same

thing, right? That's what I thought.

Yeah. Fascinating. Not just Rolex

Paddock. Yeah. Anyone who's got a

waiting list, they do it. Yeah. Totally.

Sure. You talked a little bit about

cruising around with your dad or

watching him go to various stores and

run his business. What got you into

cars? Was he a car guy? Not really.

Okay. I mean, he was a big James Bond

guy, so he liked he liked he liked it

from that angle. Okay. For me, it was

just like I mean, first it was when I we

brought home car magazines and stuff and

I I realized that cars could be kind of

special. And then it was like, you know,

I wasn't exactly an athlete when I was

younger. I was okay in high school, but

like young I was like, "No, I was not an

athlete." But um Were you an autoshop

guy? Were you tinkering with cars when

you were a teenager? Never. Driving. So,

when I was nine, my dad got me a go-kart

and that was that was the that was it.

Now I'm now I'm going fast. Yes. And he

taking it to tracks or driving around

the neighborhood? No. So, my we had I

was very I was very fortunate and we had

a house that was nice. It wasn't like it

wasn't super extravagant and certainly

not by today's standards, but it was on

the top of this hill and this was in

Atlanta, Georgia when I was a kid. On

top of this hill and I had a driveway

that was a third of a mile long. Holy

crap. Straight line or it was weaving?

It had it had four or five corners

going. Oh man, you were learning how to

as a kid. I literally had a hill climb.

That's amazing. My driveway was a hill

climb. And not only was it a hill climb,

when you got to the top of the hill

climb, it was a like essentially a skid

pad. It was a big long rectangular

thing, the whole front of the house that

was like a skid pad. It was It was

better than a track. I mean, it was

literally better than a track. And so I

learned driving on that and and then my

dad would let me car control, momentum,

all those things. Those lessons having

those organically skid pad was cool cuz

there weren't there was no curbing

around the edge of the of it. It was

just asphalt into grass. And so I'd hit

the grass at full speed and then I you

know I'd do a slide or whatever on the

grass. I wrecked the grass by the grass

grass and But your parents were

indulgent with all that. They didn't

mind about the grass. They they figured

I would grow out of out of it and I I

did eventually. And then you start

reading mags and then what was the what

were the first cars that you were

excited about? Do you remember? I mean

the first car that I was excited about

was the Delorean. Oh, no kidding. Yeah.

I mean I was like five. I didn't I

didn't like First podcast I ever

listened to was you your podcast I guess

is we're on ours technically here but

we're in your home here. It was you kind

of live casting selling your Delorean on

Yeah. It was stressful and I I think

about it all the time. You said

something about how every bid was a hit

of heroin. I used that phrase yesterday

when my car was selling. Anyway, yeah,

that it was it was fun. I think Thank

you for that. It was a great time. My

buddy person to turn a profit on a

Delorean maybe ever. It was a good

result as I recall. It was right after I

had started at BET. It was about 10

years ago or so.

$58,000. It was a very good result. You

were excited about that because of uh

Back to the Future.

No. Um actually, no. The Delorean was I

I got excited about the Delorean before

I saw Back to the Future.

my the very first Road and Track

magazine my dad ever bought me, which I

still have, had the Delorean on the

cover. Wow. And so it was really that.

And to this day, my love for the

Delorean and my love for Back to the

Future are um to let's just say take

back this phrase for good. Separate but

equal. Yeah. Okay.

I do not my They don't cross. They don't

cross. They don't cross. Yeah. Which

means I had to sell the Delorean because

when someone would go, "Hey, does that

thing do 88?" I would feel a sthing

rage.

Of course. Of course. There's probably a

couple cars like that. I really would

like a 308 GTB and that's probably all

you're going to get is Miami Vice Jones,

right? And it's even worse cuz I had a

328 and so now you have to correct. Oh

no, it's not even a 308. 328. It's not a

308. Did you like that car? Was that a

good car? I loved it. I did about 6,000

miles in about 3 years. Um, and it was a

GTS or GTB. It was an S. I I I Oh, you

might not be able to fit in a GT. I can

fit in a GTB. I can't fit in a GTS with

the roof on. Oh, interesting. So, you're

always target top off basically. And I

And I did on mine. I cut the seat rails

that I did what they is called the

Magnum PI mod where they cut the seat

rails.

Yeah. Yeah. It's Listen, it only gets

you a half inch, but when it's all you

got, you take it all. take it all for

sure. Um, the car is fabulous. It's It's

such a great car. If you want a Ferrari

to put miles on, that's what I want to

really drive road trips. Yes. Tens of

thousands of miles. Yes. That's what I

like to do. That is the car for you. I

mean, there's nothing wrong with a 308

either. And And I I if you prefer Well,

the GTBs are all the early carb. They're

never going to pass smog. It's the carb

cars. I I really like the fixed roof,

the lines of it. I think they're so They

are 328 GTVs. I know they're very rare.

They're expensive, but I think driving

with the top off is a pretty glorious

experience and and I I like that. Um the

torque of the 28 is much better than

308. It's a way faster car. Yours was a

there's a distinction where they're they

have ABS. The later ones are Mine was a

nonABS. Mine was an 86. So the the

wheels are dished or something, right?

So early the the last year with ABS, the

wheels are the ugly convex wheels. I I

don't like those wheels. mine ultimately

all in is I'm I'm the way I'm not good

at investing in cars. My goal is to

enjoy them for cheap as cheap as I can.

Um so it costs me

around.7 cents a mile to own and operate

that car and it would have cost less if

I had gotten a better PPI before I

bought it. Okay. There was a lot of

things that were wrong with it that the

PPI did not. And those cars were cheap.

People deferred maintenance on them.

Yeah. And spending more money would not

have been a guarantee of getting a

better car. Sure. But spending more

money on a better PPI might have

ultimately resulted in a better thing.

But once I got the car sorted, God was

that thing. They're well built. I used

to work on 3s. They're really well put

together. They're solid cars. You know

what's really well built are

Tessterosas. No kidding. Testosteras are

fabulously. You've got that one down

downstairs. You like driving them too?

They if you if you want a Ferrari to

road trip, they ride well. They're

comfortable. There was a time there when

they weren't too terribly expensive,

too. That's a little bit over now. They

are they are expensive and I I think

probably justifiably so. I mean, they're

they're basically half the price of the

entry point into a Countach, which I

think is justified. Yeah. Um they do

they drive really nice. The flat 12

isn't as exciting sounding, but it is

effective. Yeah. And if again, if you

want to put miles in a car, a 328 or a

Tessterosa is I just really want a gated

car. I used to work on it, but I haven't

driven one. Do you like Gallardo uh

six-speeds? Okay. I mean, I don't fit in

them so well. I like the R8s better.

It's tough even with two pedals to fit

in those cars. The R8s are better. Yeah.

And if you if you really want to have a

laugh, find a right-hand drive gated.

Oh, interesting. Laughly bad. How

how it's so and if it's a spider like

forget it. You're not getting in that

car. Yeah, but the V10 that architecture

car that is a fabulous gated experience.

They're nice. They're small. They're a

cool car. I've always liked Gallardos.

Ferrari gearboxes are quirky. Like, you

know, all all gated Ferrari gearboxes uh

you have to skip shift second until the

engine's totally warm. 15 years or so

since I've driven one, but the you know,

bringing it down and for the gear levers

real long on a 308. It's incredibly

satisfying. Yes. It's really satisfying.

It doesn't get old. They have the little

dinky key. Does the 328 have the little

dinky key? You think that that key is

dinky? No. The 328 has a full size full

size key. Same as the Tessteros. The 308

key is [ __ ] My Countach key looks

like it opens a [ __ ] storage. I mean,

it's it's a joke. You can't believe they

sold this car for 100 grand with this

key like this. That's amazing. Yeah.

What was the first video content? Did

you have kind of an artistic back? As I

recall, you were a photography student.

Photography student. Yeah, I was a

photography major. I always like that.

Still love it. Still take pictures. Not

like artsy stuff so much, but it does

come in handy for work. Oh, dude. Just

being able to frame a shot or whatever.

It comes I set up a lot of shots. It

does come in handy. Yeah. The first real

I mean, there was like the street fire

stuff. Yeah. I'm just I'm wondering

about pairing that with cars. I remember

early on that stuff. Yeah. I suppose the

first

like editorial car content that ever

spoke to me was when I first started

seeing like torrent of Top Gear. Yeah.

Okay. Like from Final Gear.com and stuff

like that. Probably this would have been

06 07 maybe cuz there were clips on

YouTube even, right? No, it was

concurrent with YouTube, but you could

not get whole episodes of Top Gear,

right? Okay. You know, Top Gear was

still like airing. It was hard to find.

I remember that. and it was airing on

the BBC, so you couldn't just upload

that [ __ ] to YouTube. So, they would

they would steal it however and put it

on Final Gear. And I would download it

every week, you know, they would air on

whatever Sunday night and you'd get it

the next morning and I would download it

and I'd watch like a television show.

And so that was the best of that kind of

content and arguably some of the best of

all time, right? I mean, it's like still

was still was. Yeah. But it just it was

oh like here's that and it very quickly

became well how do we make our version

of that for less money which people had

the same ideas which was you and buddies

or you were putting together a I mean it

was driven by me. Yeah. At the time I

was running this car wash with my friend

Larry Casilla who now has a product line

called Ammo and does videos and does

amazing YouTube videos. Everyone loves

his. It was it was funny. He was the

detailer and I was the marketing guy.

And when YouTube came out, we started

making videos to promote the shop. I

very quickly realized how much more I

enjoyed making videos than running a car

wash. So I went off to do that. I sold

my half of the shop to Larry. I

eventually went back to teach Larry how

to make videos to promote the shop. And

now we work together on various And you

just figured it out organically kind of.

It's a It's a long story that would take

a half hour. No, I'm not. You don't have

to tell. When we first started doing

YouTube, we thought it would be a

rolling audition reel for television.

Oh, interesting. We wanted to be on

cable TV. Yeah. Okay. And that was a

probably a realistic thing to think at

the time. And then within a couple of

years, it became obvious that cable TV

was not going to be what we thought it

was. And after doing some cable TV, we

were like, "Oh, actually this stinks."

Like, we don't want to do this. So, we

stayed on the internet and then branched

out into other things like podcasting

and not. And you were again, like I

said, first podcast I ever listened to.

I went right to Mark Merid and Obama

after you because that was the only

other one I'd ever heard of, right? Like

that was the famous podcast. So listen

to Matt Farah, then go over and listen

to uh Mark and Obama. Uh and I've been

I've been hooked ever since. I freaking

love podcasts now. But uh thanks for

being the entry point. But that was the

Democratic ticket for 2020. Mean Obama,

let's [ __ ] go. Yeah, totally. But

that was because I just started at BAT

and my colleague Zach was like, "Hey,

you got to listen to this." And I think

you drove one of his cars back in the

day when you were doing, right? Yes,

that's correct. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh, good

memory. Do you remember how you first

stumbled across Bring a Trailer? I know

you've had Randy on the show a couple

times, but Oh, I mean, was it

pre-auctions? Oh, yeah. It was in like

the beginning beginning. Like, it was I

mean, he turned it on in 2007, so it's

been around for 18 years. This would

have been in the very first year because

at 07 I was working at Next News with

Mike Spanelli, JF Musel, Tom Morning

Star, Jean Sanchez, and a bunch of

people that went on to do other

important car things and one who went on

to go to prison. Um, and uh and yeah,

and it it was the newsletter. It wasn't

even I don't even think it was a

website. I think it was just a

newsletter. First, you would get the

email. Yeah, you get the email every

morning. It was Spanelli had the email

or I remember at the time Spanelli had

like the ultimate list of RSS feeds. You

could just like import his RSS feeds and

you'd have this like custom browser that

would just populate with like the

world's car news every day and one of

the RSS feeds was like the original

version of Bring a Trailer. Fascinating.

Yeah, this was I mean it was within a

month or two of it starting. That's

wild. Yeah, it was very early. And you

were obviously an early champion or

supporter. You sold cars early on. That

Delorean must have been in the first

couple thousand lots. We've done 80. We

sold the Delorean in 2015.

It wasn't that early. Auction 2014 is

when it started. So, yeah, you were you

were early on. You were early on.

Remember how excited when your when you

brought your Mustang? Everyone was

excited about that in the office. We

were a much smaller company back then.

When I sold that car, we were able to uh

I gave half the money to charity. To

charity. I remember that. Yeah. We were

able to pay an animal shelters. I

remember that a year, which was nice.

Almost positive. I was the editor on

that draft. I remember it well. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. That car that car's now it's

been around. Yeah. Do you know what

happened to the Delorean? Um, I know

that it was sold to a gentleman in

Bavaria in Germany. Really? So, that guy

not only paid quite a handsome price for

that money plus for that car, I got 58.

This was in 2015. Yeah. 58 plus buyers

premium plus shipping to Germany.

plus VAT, whatever VAT is over there.

This guy must have paid [ __ ] probably

80 grand, you know, said and done for

this Delorean. And someone had sent me a

photo of it. He had driven it to a Cars

and Coffee, someone in Bavaria, and was

driving it around with the California

plates. That's amazing. Which is pretty

ballsy to do in Germany. They don't

really stand for that. Totally. But good

for them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's

awesome, dude. Mhm. Talk to me a little

bit about the services that your company

provides here for people who want to

sell. Like I said earlier, you're one of

the BAT's local partners and and thanks

for uh reminding me. They were hustling

down there, man. Well, we do things a

little differently than some of the

other partners. We don't take

commission. Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah, we don't take commission. Our

services are flat feet. So, do you have

to be a customer to get it? No. Okay.

Interesting. So, but you phrase that in

an interesting way because the answer is

no, but yes. And what I mean by that is

when people approach us and hey, I would

like you to help me sell my car in Trip.

Um, we offer what we call a concierge

sellers program. Basically, it's drop

and go, right? You the key. You hand us

the key, you hand us the title, you hand

us the service records, and we go to

work. We detail the car, we photograph

the car, we scan the records, we redact

the thing, and that's being done right

down right down here. Yeah. Or or in our

other location. You can do it at either

place. Yeah. Yeah. Which whichever is

convenient. Doesn't matter. We do all of

that stuff. We submit it to you guys. We

go do the back and forth. You know, I

personally do the cold start and driving

videos. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I

do those. And then from when we submit

it, you know, we then manage it. We

answer all the comments. People want

extra photos, extra video, extra this,

extra that, and we do all of it. And

then we connect buyer and seller and

then we help arrange shipping. That's

you doing a lot of that or do you have

one of your staffers doing it or it's a

mixture?

I'm making the video, I'm building the

listing, and I'm watching the listing

when it's live. We have photographers,

we have our detailers, you know, those

guys are doing that stuff, but but I am

personally doing every single listing.

Yes. Amazing. Yeah. Um I mean, I think

it's a pretty good service and we do

charge a flat fee and the flat fee is

based entirely on the amount of work

that it takes to do this. I mean, it's

it's roughly 20 hours of work. I mean,

that's what it is. Whether we do it or

whether you do it, it's about 20 hours

of work. And whether it's a Lamborghini

or a 1992 Jeep Wrangler, it's the same

20 hours of work. And so, you know, some

people would rather work on a commission

because the vehicle is only 20 or

$30,000 and to give us, you know, four

grand is like, what? But if it's

$100,000, $200,000, $300,000, well,

that's that's way better to give us the

flat fee than to do. So, it's it's not

for everybody and we can do bits and

pieces all a cart. And when I say it's a

loaded question because it does include

a month of storage. Oh, interesting.

Okay. So, while we from when you drop

the car, we hang on to it until until

the auction ends. But in practice, are

most of the folks who are utilizing it

all already customers kind of? No, it's

like I mean it certainly started that

way. It started even before we thought

about being BAT local partner. It was

literally like we had customers that

were maybe going to move out because

they were maybe going to sell their car.

Oh. And I thought, well, if they're

moving out cuz they want to sell the

car, maybe I can help them sell the car.

If they're going to leave anyway, maybe

we can get some money on the way out the

door. I mean, it started out like that

and then all of a sudden I was like,

"Oh, actually, this is a good because

when you have a limited number of places

to keep cars here, it's all about, well,

okay, now how can I squeeze this lemon a

different way now that I've maxed out my

square footage?" So, this became a

thing. And and then I I emailed I forget

if it was Zach or Randy or who. And I

said, "Hey, I think it's time I become a

local partner because I'm doing more and

more of this." And now I'd say it's 5050

in-house people. Oh, I'm glad to hear

that outside people are coming in.

That's great. Oh, yeah. In fact, I don't

know what you've been seeing, but in the

last month, like we've been local

partner for like six, seven months now,

I think. And I'm sure there's like some

kind of awareness. Yeah, it takes a

little time. And also, your team has to

build the skill set too, right? Like

it's actually to your point, it's hard

to sell online. Well, right. But just in

terms of pure incoming OS, it it was

like two or three a month, but then

February and March is like 12 15. I'm

stoked to hear that. I mean, that's

good, but also that can also overwhelm

you a little bit. Well, I mean, I we're

not we can't handle all of them and a

lot of them they find out the price or

they don't like whatever and okay, fine.

But it does make me a little bit

concerned about is there something

happening in the car market that we

really need to people are going to try

to dump all if everyone's trying to dump

all their cars cuz they are financially

insecure or whatever. Um that could be

bad too. Yeah. I mean it could be good

if I'm turning around. It could be good

for me personally but I don't want

things to be good for me. We all want

the car market to be stable and for

people to be you know stoked to buy and

sell cars. I mean, but nevertheless,

like, you know, if you're trying to do

all those things yourself, if that's not

what you do, Yeah. that's it's a pain in

the ass. It's hard. I mean, we were just

over at Rob Da, you know, like these

guys who've been so successful just the

logistics of scaling these things up are

crazy. Warehouse after warehouse, right?

I mean, and that's his whole business.

But, uh, you know, we can only handle so

many of course. I think we're probably

maxed out at maybe four a month. What's

your total staff between all the all the

businesses? Do you have 11? Okay. All

right. You're running pretty lean

between the two. It's two stores. Yeah.

Two stores 7 days a week. Yeah. But our

other store doesn't have third shift.

Oh, okay. Gotcha. But going from, you

know, a business that just exists on the

internet, you know, and is just me and
