• 0:00
  It started off, it's just like I got a cool car.
• 0:02
  I want to find other people with like cool car.
• 0:04
  I want to talk to them about my cool car.
• 0:06
  And then I'm old now, so like all my friends don't do stuff
• 0:10
  like this anymore. They're old, they have families.
• 0:13
  The only car meat that I've been to where it feels like you're
• 0:17
  with a family. It's not just the cars like
• 0:19
  We've met photographers, we've met videographers, we've met
• 0:22
  DJs, we've met dancers, models like.
• 0:25
  A lot of people leave of forming new friendships, new
• 0:27
  relationships, new whatever. I literally met my fiance out of
• 0:32
  out of meet. Really welcome back everybody to
• 0:35
  another episode of the After Hours podcast.
• 0:37
  We got to sit down with Stan Krista and Turbo of Daikoku NYC,
• 0:41
  which is a car club or organization that sets up meets
• 0:44
  and events primarily focused in the New York City area.
• 0:47
  This conversation was awesome. I found these guys through
• 0:50
  Instagram a year or two ago and have been interested in how they
• 0:53
  go about setting these up in some of the busiest parts of New
• 0:56
  York City. These meets are they seem very
• 0:59
  organized and like I said, it's just it's kind of chaotic there.
• 1:04
  If you've been to New York City, you know, we're very close to
• 1:06
  it. If you ever been to Manhattan,
• 1:09
  you know how crazy it is those, those streets.
• 1:11
  So to have a bunch of cars meet up there and just take over the
• 1:15
  area, it's, it's not easy. So I really wanted to sit down
• 1:18
  and kind of learn about how they got started and how they go
• 1:22
  about doing these meets. We covered a lot of ground in
• 1:25
  this chat. I hope you guys enjoyed this as

• 3:45
  Well, thanks. Thank you guys for coming, Juan.
• 3:46
  Thank. You for having.
• 3:48
  Us far as hell drive. It sucks.
• 3:50
  Well. It's not far, but it's far.
• 3:52
  It's not literally. Far, but it's.
• 3:53
  Yeah, it was 5 o'clock 6:00 you're trying to drive I.
• 3:56
  Live right across the bridge. That's.
• 3:57
  Gotta be way closer. I mean, I left at like 4
• 4:00
  something and I still got here, yeah, I left at like 4 something
• 4:04
  and I still got here at like 6 something, so.
• 4:07
  That that's two hours a. Little less.
• 4:09
  Turbo turbo swam here. Basically.
• 4:12
  Right across the bridge. I know, yeah.
• 4:14
  Uptown Manhattan right there, so.
• 4:16
  Damn, you're rich. Yeah, what?
• 4:19
  Rose said. Uptown man.
• 4:21
  Wrong part of Uptown. And I know the snow is probably
• 4:25
  making a mess over there too. Yeah.
• 4:27
  What was that like these past couple of days?
• 4:28
  Was that terrible? Like stay indoors.
• 4:30
  It was bad. Yeah, it was bad.
• 4:32
  That's I couldn't. Yeah, that sounds fucking
• 4:36
  horrible. I'm not even going to hold you.
• 4:38
  The car's getting buried and stuff like that.
• 4:40
  And then I seen a lot of you guys don't have shovels out
• 4:43
  there in the city. Go get shovels.
• 4:45
  Huh. That's why you got shoes, man.
• 4:46
  That's but then the car, I saw somebody.
• 4:49
  Scraping. Like whatever you can basically
• 4:52
  bags like. Oh my goodness, God.
• 4:54
  I mean, even the streets around here are bad and I think about
• 4:56
  in Manhattan and I'm like, it's probably a disaster because I
• 4:59
  got nowhere to put the snow. I mean the.
• 5:01
  City is a little bit better. I feel like in the city it it's
• 5:04
  hotter all the trains. Are out yeah, like actual man
• 5:06
  so. It kind of like warms up a bit,
• 5:08
  but then once you go into the outer boroughs, it's, yeah, some
• 5:10
  places like deep Queens and get really bad parts of Brook and
• 5:13
  get bad. But aren't they like boiling the
• 5:15
  snow down and like dumping it in the river?
• 5:17
  I saw that. Oh, really?
• 5:18
  What, what what, what what? Ideas.
• 5:22
  I've never heard of this before. Why New York City tap water
• 5:25
  tastes so good? Because of the snow.
• 5:27
  Melted down snow. It's all the minerals.
• 5:30
  Actually, that's beautiful. Everyone's why the pizza taste
• 5:33
  good. Everyone's like the Hudson
• 5:34
  River's gonna freeze. I was like, it's definitely not
• 5:37
  gonna freeze solid. But no, but there, there was
• 5:39
  like a bunch of videos that I saw where the East River froze
• 5:42
  over a bit of it and like there were.
• 5:44
  Were people trying to cross that?
• 5:45
  Shit. No, no, no, I was.
• 5:47
  Gonna. Say this.
• 5:47
  Oh my God, no. I don't know about those people
• 5:50
  that like going and swimming and shit.
• 5:52
  Like it's like, why? Why would you even think about
• 5:54
  doing shit like? That, but it's, I wouldn't want
• 5:56
  to swim in that when it's warm out, yeah.
• 5:57
  Where? Which one of the bodies of water
• 5:59
  in New York is the one that people are like, they're like,
• 6:02
  oh, the water here isn't as bad. I swim in the water here all the
• 6:06
  time. I think they do it in the East,
• 6:07
  yeah, in the Hudson River now, like I, I.
• 6:09
  Always I would never in a million years bro.
• 6:12
  Right. Why?
• 6:13
  Yeah, like growing up you always heard like, never go on those
• 6:17
  waters. Like, never bodies in there.
• 6:18
  Never. Don't go in there.
• 6:19
  Yeah, ever. Yeah, we heard the same thing.
• 6:21
  But you know the water by Mitsuwa, like, you know, in
• 6:24
  Edgewater, there's a little down there like a little coast, like
• 6:29
  a little beach. Quote UN quote area, you guys.
• 6:32
  Probably have meats there too, yeah.
• 6:34
  That's a that was a great spot for a long fucking dime.
• 6:37
  Like I mean very. Small like it is it?
• 6:39
  Is a. Lot of cars in there so.
• 6:42
  Yeah, I mean limited. But it is cool.
• 6:44
  Carlos from Northeast Right Hand Drive does meats there all the
• 6:48
  time. Yeah, and it looks great.
• 6:50
  You know, and like we'll come out and we'll support the meats
• 6:52
  like that he does there and but I don't know, it doesn't seem
• 6:56
  like we should hold any meats there.
• 6:58
  I feel the same way when I see that spot, when I see people
• 7:00
  meeting there, I'm like, that's really cool, but I feel like
• 7:02
  it's not big enough. Like it's just it'll get slammed
• 7:06
  because even if you go on a weekend, the thing's already
• 7:08
  packed with people there. So many people who are doing,
• 7:11
  trying to just live their lives, and then all you're hearing from
• 7:15
  out inside is. It's like, it's to the point
• 7:19
  where like people actually parked at the fire lane and.
• 7:22
  They just blocked the. Fire by that like bubble.
• 7:25
  Tea Spot, Yeah. In the back, yeah.
• 7:27
  Yeah, honestly never understood that bubble tea business.
• 7:30
  That's like a beautiful building for a bubble tea.
• 7:32
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, what I thought that was an
• 7:35
  it was it. Was probably a steakhouse or
• 7:37
  some shit at one point, but then they left.
• 7:38
  I think it was. Yeah, I think that's right.
• 7:40
  Oh it. Was a hibachi spot thank.
• 7:42
  You. Thank you.
• 7:43
  That would be good. Now they closed it and it moved
• 7:45
  like literally like across into like where the other stores are.
• 7:48
  And it's like a little tiny spot.
• 7:50
  Yeah, right out. There.
• 7:51
  Oh wait, So what? So what is that now?
• 7:52
  It's a. It's just empty.
• 7:53
  It's empty. That's where we're gonna have
• 7:55
  Frankie's Sweet 16. Dude that's a such a fucking six
• 7:59
  spot for a fucking company party.
• 8:01
  That is, dude. What I just remember that I feel
• 8:06
  like that spot for us I have, I don't know why.
• 8:08
  I don't know if it's the same for y'all, but years ago that
• 8:12
  was like a spot where you could like congregate with your
• 8:14
  friends at night when that place was like about to close.
• 8:17
  You could still maybe get food, you could just park right there.
• 8:21
  Look at the city like we're looking at y'all from over here.
• 8:23
  Yeah, that's like our spot, like.
• 8:25
  Oh. Wow, dude, yeah, we're so small,
• 8:27
  man. Like this is cool.
• 8:30
  And the Edgewater spot, our Edgewater meat spot, which was
• 8:32
  like a big thing like 10 years ago or 15 years ago almost was
• 8:35
  right next to there. So and that that fucking meat
• 8:39
  was crazy. Was that the target or the other
• 8:41
  way? That is the target.
• 8:43
  Target, yeah. Yeah.
• 8:44
  The target also has a really nice view even till this day.
• 8:47
  That Outback steakhouses. Top to you, Top to you, Yeah,
• 8:50
  Everything over there on the water is nice, honestly.
• 8:53
  Dude like that, that that is that for some reason was so rich
• 8:57
  in automotive culture. And ironically, it's like the
• 8:59
  closest spot to the city. Yeah.
• 9:01
  But where the hell do you guys go?
• 9:03
  Yeah, it must be a whole. Different.
• 9:04
  I mean, in Queens it's Fort Totten.
• 9:06
  Everyone's over at Fort Totten's over there.
• 9:08
  Fort Totten, can you? Look that up, Malcolm Totten.
• 9:11
  Totten yeah, it's. Under, under the Whitestone
• 9:15
  Bridge. Whitestone, Yeah.
• 9:16
  Is it? Like a Brookstone, Yeah.
• 9:17
  Is it throws now it's like in between the car click on a map
• 9:19
  that. Was the Whitestone It's like
• 9:23
  underneath the bridge. Zoom out.
• 9:26
  Zoom out. Yeah.
• 9:27
  Yeah. There you.
• 9:28
  Go. It's a little OK.
• 9:30
  Such a cool spot on a map. What?
• 9:32
  The Yeah. So a lot of people go out.
• 9:34
  There. But like in the last five years
• 9:37
  it's been like it's hectic. What do you mean?
• 9:40
  So I remember, so I went this, this is way before that koku.
• 9:43
  I went to a meet just to show up there and literally the cops
• 9:48
  closed every single exit, blocked one off, and then there
• 9:52
  was one cop in every car that was leaving.
• 9:54
  Got a ticket everybody? Everybody.
• 9:57
  Everybody and for everything. Tints.
• 9:59
  Yep, loud everything. That's that's that's called We
• 10:02
  don't want you back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly what
• 10:04
  that was. Yeah.
• 10:05
  I mean. They sent a message.
• 10:07
  Really, that's what. They did to us at Edgewater,
• 10:09
  like a long time ago. They just had cops there and
• 10:11
  they just, they're like, oh, y'all can come in.
• 10:13
  Yeah. And then they just take everyone
• 10:14
  on the way out. On the way out?
• 10:16
  Yeah, absolutely. They must have made 10s of
• 10:18
  thousands of. Dollars and they like I remember
• 10:19
  there was one cop walking around like you need to use the
• 10:21
  bathroom 'cause we were there for like 2 hours just literally
• 10:24
  just idling for two hours waiting for everyone to like,
• 10:26
  you need to use the bathroom. There's a bathroom.
• 10:29
  While you're online. While you're online.
• 10:32
  Yeah. Did they ever bring a?
• 10:34
  They ever bring like a, what do you call it?
• 10:36
  Like a sniffer out? No, no, no, no, no.
• 10:38
  That would have been. Bad.
• 10:39
  They brought that shit on me once.
• 10:41
  I was like, Oh my God. Exhaust, I thought, dude, they
• 10:44
  bought a. Drug everything like they did
• 10:47
  every. They had people on roofs and
• 10:48
  shit like it was crazy. Those meets were crazy.
• 10:52
  Got 240. SX what are we talking about?
• 10:55
  It was. Crazy.
• 10:56
  It was like they had swam, swam on the roof.
• 10:58
  I'm like, I was like, that was the closest we got to Fast
• 11:00
  Furious. That's all I'll say.
• 11:02
  Like in this area, that was the closest it ever got.
• 11:04
  That's ridiculous just for cars. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:07
  How long have there was some crazy shit going on, but not
• 11:09
  that crazy. You know what?
• 11:11
  I. Mean, I mean even that four ton,
• 11:12
  it's not official me people just know they go there and they hang
• 11:15
  out and stuff. So it's right by 4 ton.
• 11:17
  There's like a 711 over by there that people go to.
• 11:20
  And then before then or even now, they're the Marina in
• 11:24
  Flushing, which would be like about the water 36.
• 11:31
  Yeah, close to over here. Yeah, like over here.
• 11:33
  There's a Marina over here. Yeah, like right over here.
• 11:38
  Actually, the Marina is right over here where people would
• 11:41
  hold meats. And then even now there's cars
• 11:44
  and coffees. That happens over at Fresh
• 11:48
  Meadows, in the park, over in Fresh Meadows.
• 11:52
  I feel like, yeah, you guys just got to find spots and then wait
• 11:54
  for him to get hot and then leave and then find their spot.
• 11:56
  I mean, it's, it was always, it's always easier to do like a
• 11:59
  morning event, but you never get issues from authority or cops
• 12:04
  stuff in the morning. It's usually at night where they
• 12:07
  think mischief or something is gonna happen.
• 12:08
  That's when the Y NS are awake. Always, you know, that's the
• 12:11
  only time. They come drink.
• 12:13
  Coffee bro, they don't get up and drink coffee.
• 12:15
  Now they now they drink matcha. Yeah, they're matcha, Yeah.
• 12:18
  That's current. Drink matcha.
• 12:20
  Not have you ever. Do you guys drink?
• 12:22
  Terrible it. It.
• 12:23
  Does not taste. It does not do.
• 12:25
  It does not taste bad. It does not taste.
• 12:27
  Good. I like green tea, but like.
• 12:29
  That OK, so maybe you actually might enjoy it for a week.
• 12:31
  It's alright. Yeah, so I'll.
• 12:33
  Dabble in there. Dude, the how long have you guys
• 12:36
  been like kind of attending meets or just kind of generally
• 12:38
  in the car scene? Of New York.
• 12:40
  Like I guess that's all of y'all.
• 12:42
  Well, I've been doing it for 20 years and being a girl it's hard
• 12:47
  to find like people. So I did a loan for a while and
• 12:52
  then I met these people so. Did you guys all meet through
• 12:55
  this? Like just crime meets and
• 12:57
  whatnot? Yeah, so.
• 12:58
  My friend brought me and it was one of their first meets and I
• 13:03
  was like, I'm coming back again. We just, you know.
• 13:06
  Started what was the appeal for those that are listening?
• 13:09
  Cause a lot of a lot of our listeners, sometimes they're
• 13:11
  very in age groups actually. So like the shit that we talk
• 13:14
  about sometimes is not translated.
• 13:17
  So like when you went to a car meet back then, because I know
• 13:21
  exactly what I'm picturing back then.
• 13:23
  Everyone's walking around for some reason.
• 13:26
  There's hookah everywhere because no one had no one had
• 13:31
  vapes. That was not a thing.
• 13:33
  Everyone brought their own look up or like whatever.
• 13:35
  So if you wanted to explain what brought you back that made you
• 13:40
  want to be like, I'm going to go to another one.
• 13:43
  So it was just the people basically.
• 13:47
  It started as like a car thing, but then it just grew into a
• 13:52
  community. So like we have people that come
• 13:54
  here to our meets that don't even have cars.
• 13:57
  Like they'll take the bus, they'll take the subway.
• 13:59
  Like they don't even own a car and they just come to hang out.
• 14:02
  So it's beyond cars, it's more of a family.
• 14:06
  Like I've met some. Of them on some Fast and the
• 14:10
  Furious shit. I knew you were gonna say that
• 14:12
  shit. Home now wait, Chris to pull
• 14:14
  that thing. Yeah, try to pull the whole
• 14:16
  thing. Pull the whole thing.
• 14:17
  Yeah. Like that.
• 14:18
  There we go. Yeah.
• 14:18
  Perfect. Yeah.
• 14:20
  So no really though, that's that was like what they said in the
• 14:23
  movie. What big joke?
• 14:25
  No, but. As a as a joking aside though,
• 14:28
  that's that's how me and Chris are friends.
• 14:30
  Family, yeah. That's really And you don't
• 14:33
  think I'm gonna invite Chris to like my wedding or like some
• 14:35
  other big yeah type of event like.
• 14:39
  It's a common interest. Well, like I've noticed at the
• 14:43
  track, like people are very family oriented, like someone
• 14:46
  breaks down, you help them. It's kind of like that.
• 14:48
  It's like the only car meet that I've been to where it feels like
• 14:53
  you're with a family. East Coast Drift School, which

• 16:01
  time attack racing, so people are in, you know, competing with
• 16:05
  each other. But if someone needs a tool or
• 16:07
  even if you're a direct competitors, like you're going
• 16:09
  to tow the guy's car home because that's just how it is.
• 16:12
  Like it's just a family atmosphere.
• 16:15
  And I've never been to like a car event where it was not about
• 16:19
  the cars, it was about the people like, you know, so it was
• 16:24
  just the vibe when. Did you when did you get into
• 16:27
  cars? When I was young, I was the only
• 16:30
  person, no one in my family's in the cars.
• 16:33
  None of my friends were into cars.
• 16:34
  But my best friend at the time, her grandma gave her a 1991
• 16:39
  Integra and I was like, oh, I need one of those for my first
• 16:43
  car because I'm I'm almost 40. So like this was 20 years ago
• 16:48
  and yeah, then I've had three integras or a sexist I've.

  It's the same like you're in your favorite car.
• 18:39
  You're just like the universe is perfect.
• 18:42
  Okay, I have a question. I have a question there because
• 18:44
  I like Honda Experience. I liked Honda too.
• 18:48
  I loved Honda I. Think I like Honda a lot but I
• 18:50
  don't know it yet. No growing up we were a Honda
• 18:53
  household. Like I feel like when you're
• 18:54
  Asian you are either Toyota. You're either or Honda and
• 18:58
  depending on where Asia you're from, I'm Filipino so it's it's
• 19:01
  Toyota or Honda that's it. If you're Korean, you have a
• 19:03
  Honda. Yeah, yeah, it's true.
• 19:05
  But like Toyota or Honda and I got a Honda.
• 19:10
  We were a Honda family. Then somebody showed me drifting
• 19:14
  one time. And it ruined.
• 19:16
  Everything and it ruined it. So if have you experienced
• 19:19
  drifting yet? Yes, I've been in drift cars.
• 19:21
  I went on ride along and you didn't go like.
• 19:24
  It's an ongoing debate with her. Like.
• 19:28
  It's non-stop every time we're over.
• 19:30
  It. No, every time we're like
• 19:31
  Crystal, we're gonna go drifting this weekend.
• 19:33
  She's like, I don't care. We're not, I don't care.
• 19:36
  It just. Doesn't excite me like.
• 19:38
  It's not fast. Enough for me it's.
• 19:40
  Like turn. The.
• 19:42
  Car is ripping, you're not losing traction like you guys
• 19:47
  like. The new the newer drift scene is
• 19:49
  is nuts. We got to get you in one of
• 19:51
  those so that that I. Mean I've been in a lot of cars.
• 19:53
  The one the ones nowadays? I feel like it's lately it's so
• 19:57
  far. You can be the.
• 19:58
  Town and the place she was, she was the last drift car I can
• 20:02
  remember you being in was TJS, which is the chaser?
• 20:06
  Which is the chaser that he actually won from Adam LZ?
• 20:11
  OK. Yeah, the red chaser from like a
• 20:13
  few years. Back Is this this person I'm
• 20:15
  thinking of? Malcolm.
• 20:15
  Ichiban Dodi. Yeah, Ichiban.
• 20:17
  Oh, it's Rizzo. It's a red chaser with the gold.
• 20:20
  Yeah, with the. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:22
  Well, that so that's Oh my God. T JS car and then TJ won that
• 20:25
  from Adam Elsie from like giveaway a few years back or
• 20:28
  whatever and she was riding in that like.
• 20:31
  Oh wait, that's a. Fucking that's an exciting.
• 20:34
  Yeah, she. Was riding in that like last.
• 20:36
  Year she's like, where's the V car?
• 20:38
  No. Where's the G forces?
• 20:40
  I'm on track and you're turning your body.
• 20:42
  It's kind of the opposite with drifting along.
• 20:44
  Drifting, you're just like. Yeah, you're kind of gliding
• 20:47
  fun, you know? Yeah.
• 20:48
  So Drifting is really cool to watch and to look at, and it
• 20:52
  makes great videos and content. Media, it's fun to do.
• 20:56
  But. It's fun to do.
• 20:58
  I like to go fast and take. I mean, I this is the car that
• 21:02
  we're talking about. I appreciate it.
• 21:03
  I love this. Car.
• 21:04
  Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I've still yet to meet this guy.
• 21:08
  Yeah, I don't think I've met him either.
• 21:09
  Why don't we have him on the fucking?
• 21:10
  Podcast. Oh, he's, he's in Japan.
• 21:12
  Oh, OK. Yeah, I like.
• 21:13
  Him this car this car is here but.
• 21:15
  He's our friend Rizzo's place, I think.
• 21:17
  Yeah, I see this car all the time.
• 21:19
  I never ever meet the owner of this car.
• 21:21
  Next time TJ comes back I'll I'll yeah dude definitely have
• 21:24
  him on. This guy, this car is so sick in
• 21:27
  person it looks like it has. Wait, is this car in Japan?
• 21:32
  No, it's here. It's literally at something
• 21:34
  that. Kind of looks like Japan right
• 21:35
  there. That's New Jersey.
• 21:38
  Once I realized that that's a stop sign in the back then I'm
• 21:40
  like OK. It's.
• 21:42
  It's. The US, when the car is red you
• 21:44
  don't notice the height as much. Did you notice that?
• 21:48
  I've never noticed that I'm. Looking at it right now, now I'm
• 21:50
  noticing it and I'm like, I don't know if I like that.
• 21:55
  You're saying it's, you're saying it looks high.
• 21:57
  Oh boy. Just because it's a color.
• 22:00
  No, it looks lower. It looks when it's red.
• 22:03
  But you're saying it looks lower when it's red?
• 22:04
  Yeah, because you don't notice it because the car is so bright.
• 22:07
  Because the car is so distracting.
• 22:08
  Yeah, yeah. Is this not what we call EBSU
• 22:11
  spec or? This is like is this.
• 22:14
  Respect even a thing in drift culture.
• 22:15
  I don't know. I don't think it is.
• 22:16
  I don't know, it might be something in like on the
• 22:20
  outskirts, but. Oh, that rear looks really good.
• 22:23
  No, I mean like the height. I think this is like probably as
• 22:25
  good as it's gonna get. This is still looks really good.
• 22:28
  I fuck. This is what I would call like
• 22:29
  it's it's set up to drive. Yeah.
• 22:31
  You know I mean. And that's what it does.
• 22:33
  Dude, this car when he's in, like when he's back in New York,
• 22:36
  that this is his daily, like he dailies this car.
• 22:38
  Yeah, like this is what he he drives around every single day
• 22:41
  does. He come to your guys meets too.
• 22:43
  Yeah, So funny story about TJ, he actually pulled up to the
• 22:46
  very first one, very like the second one we had.
• 22:49
  No, no. Was it, was it QCM?
• 22:51
  Well, one of our first or second meets that we did at Queen
• 22:55
  Center Mall. And he just pulled up in his
• 22:59
  like in a Ford Explorer. Respect.
• 23:03
  All the builds, that's fine. You know, I'm, I'm on the other
• 23:06
  side because you know, when I, when we do our meets, I'm like
• 23:08
  the traffic guy. So I'm, you know, I'm sure
• 23:10
  everyone you know, gets where they need to go.
• 23:12
  And I'm looking at him and I'm like, I know you like I've seen
• 23:16
  you before. And then I was, you know, I was
• 23:17
  waiting for everyone to calm down, everyone, you know, to
• 23:19
  stop crying at him. And then I realized who he was.
• 23:21
  And I was like, oh, you wanted to come from Adam.
• 23:23
  He's like, yeah. I was like, you know, you should
• 23:24
  bring the cars like, well, it's not ready.
• 23:26
  It's not here. And then as the as the months
• 23:29
  went on and, you know, he got cool with everybody and then he
• 23:31
  eventually brought it out. OK, Yeah.
• 23:33
  Yeah. I mean, it's definitely a cool
• 23:34
  car. So Adam LZ built that thing?
• 23:36
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:37
  Was this the yellow one? No.
• 23:39
  No, no, see he I think the yellow one was after this one.
• 23:42
  Oh damn yeah OK I'm so confused on what is where's going I don't
• 23:46
  even know. I mean, it's all I know is that
• 23:50
  if Adam LZ built it, it's probably a fucking.
• 23:51
  Pretty old. It's a really nice car, yeah,
• 23:53
  probably drives really good. Yeah, he actually blew the
• 23:56
  motor. God damn it.
• 23:57
  Well. He did?
• 23:58
  Yeah, that's. Right.
• 23:58
  Yeah, one point he blew the motor.
• 23:59
  Yeah. Not a Toyota fall.
• 24:02
  No, don't you? No, don't.
• 24:03
  You tell a Toyota tour when we. Were at a fuel fest, we were
• 24:05
  drifting at fuel Fest together and he he blew the motor at fuel
• 24:08
  fest. Too much limiter.
• 24:10
  You know what I just realized? Damn.
• 24:12
  He's good at making it look like he's in Japan at every time.
• 24:14
  Look. At look at this photo, this
• 24:17
  photo kind of in. Japan too, for no reason.
• 24:20
  Targeting T-Mobile. Look at the 711.
• 24:22
  Yeah, I know. Why is there a 711?
• 24:24
  I've never seen a 711, a 711 look like that.
• 24:27
  On a city. Block.
• 24:28
  Yeah, probably square. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:32
  Probably downtown Osaka right there bro.
• 24:36
  That's what it looks. Like.
• 24:37
  Osaka, I got to go get some photos of my car.
• 24:40
  Yeah, go there, find a spot. I got to raise my car up because
• 24:44
  it's not going to go in there. Yeah, I don't know this dude,
• 24:46
  but. He seems awesome, so he does.
• 24:48
  He does a lot of events in Okinawa.
• 24:49
  Yeah, he's. A party, Yeah.
• 24:52
  To definitely. Bring him out, yeah.
• 24:54
  Yeah. We got to talk to this guy
• 24:55
  sometime. Yeah, that's where.
• 24:57
  All the military dudes are right.
• 24:59
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was in the military, Yeah.
• 25:01
  Next time he comes, come back, we'll tell you guys.
• 25:05
  Get him up. Yeah.
• 25:06
  Yeah. Definitely.
• 25:07
  So are you guys. Over the years, did you notice
• 25:10
  anything different change from trying to have the meats?
• 25:12
  Did it get harder? Did it get easier?
• 25:14
  I mean it like got way. Harder like oh God, that's.
• 25:17
  We're we're a official. 501 C nonprofit now that's like where
• 25:21
  we have to get to to like host like events.
• 25:25
  So that's kind of why that. Yeah, so so.
• 25:28
  We became like a. Actual organization?
• 25:30
  Oh my goodness, General. Counsel.
• 25:33
  We have other people that work on from other nonprofits that
• 25:36
  help like we have a full on office.
• 25:39
  Back end team that. Works with the city, with the
• 25:41
  mayor's office, with my staple NYPD like so this became a job
• 25:46
  real quick. I mean, yeah, this.
• 25:48
  This became a job real quick within like the first year, I
• 25:51
  think I was like, all right, I like it's no longer just meets.
• 25:55
  Now I have to figure a way to kind of make this into a thing
• 25:59
  that can be sustainable for people and stuff.
• 26:02
  And I knew right off the bat that like it'll, it'll never.
• 26:07
  Hopefully this will outlive. Me right and it was never going
• 26:11
  to be a for profit thing and the only way that this would
• 26:14
  continue on generations down if it was a non for profit so like.
• 26:18
  Whoever can. Come in and kind of take the
• 26:20
  reins and keep it going even long after we're done with it.
• 26:24
  So that for me seemed like the best way to go with this whole
• 26:29
  thing was like, all right. We're all.
• 26:34
  A bit older right? Like we're all born in like the
• 26:36
  80s basically. So that being said, we've seen a
• 26:41
  lot of car clubs come and go. Y'all seem pretty young by the.
• 26:43
  Way just to let you know I'm I'm about to be. 40, I'm 33.
• 26:47
  I'm 35. But I thought you all were
• 26:49
  younger than me. Oh God, I'm.
• 26:51
  Sorry, 86 baby right here. So like, yeah, so I know we look
• 26:54
  like brothers. I'm 30.
• 26:56
  No. I.
• 26:57
  Know. I get like in.
• 27:00
  My 20s all the time. So I'm like, I'll take that,
• 27:02
  I'll take that. Fuck yeah.
• 27:04
  I'm over. Here.
• 27:05
  Yeah. Hell yeah.
• 27:07
  No, you and Frankie, same. Age, yeah, but like the way I.
• 27:10
  See it is that like all these car?
• 27:12
  Clubs. Come in and they follow the same
• 27:15
  model. They get big enough to a point
• 27:17
  where they start throwing like these events.
• 27:19
  So like and then they charge these tickets for it and then
• 27:22
  going. Through that same.
• 27:23
  Business model and really deep diving into it.
• 27:27
  You're lucky if you're break even, right?
• 27:29
  You're lucky if you break even after all the cost of venues,
• 27:32
  insurance, vendors, whatever. And at the end of the day, like.
• 27:38
  Is it for profit? Like why are you doing?
• 27:40
  It's like what is this really for right?
• 27:43

  Circles and battles. Import like I was.
• 30:38
  On a cardboard. Box Yeah, I'm.

• 30:57
  My part she. She tries.
• 30:59
  All the time. At home, she's like, you know,
• 31:01
  like my she's like my little nephew was in the break dancing.
• 31:04
  Why don't you break dance for him and show him how it's done?
• 31:06
  Was like I'm 40. Yeah, like this.
• 31:10
  This could end up bad, yeah. Like do not.
• 31:12
  It's like last time I just I was.
• 31:13
  Still 20. Like a little little.
• 31:15
  What the fuck? Let me think of a name of a of a
• 31:17
  breakdance move. A flare, A flare like or a
• 31:21
  windmill? Definitely not.
• 31:22
  Maybe I can give you. Like a six step, like something
• 31:25
  simple and Malcolm, you don't have a fucking.
• 31:27
  Break like this guy is the most I.
• 31:29
  Could see you doing that. What is the word?
• 31:31
  For skillful, I don't know randomly.
• 31:33
  Skillful and everything. It's a versatile.
• 31:35
  Personal. Guy.
• 31:36
  Yeah, that's good. Jack.
• 31:37
  Of all traits, anything. Definitely, yeah.
• 31:39
  Yeah. Any faster or nun?
• 31:40
  Yeah. No, just kidding.
• 31:41
  Just kidding. He's gonna leave.
• 31:44
  And we're gonna have to use all of that shit by ourselves,
• 31:48
  ourselves, and we're gonna be fucked.
• 31:51
  Oh my goodness. But yeah, you could.
• 31:52
  Like you. Show him one thing, he'll
• 31:53
  probably pick it up in like 5 minutes and you'll be like damn
• 31:55
  break dancing and shit. Because that was like the thing
• 31:58
  back. Yes, it was.
• 31:59
  We had another. Podcast Remember when Josh?
• 32:02
  What about Justin? Flipsko, he always breakdance.
• 32:03
  Yeah, he kind of was, but. No, Josh, more so because not to
• 32:08
  not to age you guys, but this other guy, he's other he's also
• 32:14
  I really hope I'm right that he's 40.
• 32:16
  He's definitely. 40 Yeah, OK, Well, you said that.
• 32:20
  He's. He's he has.
• 32:21
  To be 40? Yeah, him.
• 32:22
  And his group. Proceed they embody that like.
• 32:29
  I don't know if it's they. Have like he's from Chicago.
• 32:31
  They have like a spirit of that B boy and and drifting and
• 32:36
  what's another thing that they like at the same time you're
• 32:38
  talking out of my. Like music and.
• 32:40
  DJing and shit like that. That was the all that was like
• 32:43
  all intertwined. It was, it was like.
• 32:45
  Basically. Grid Life.
• 32:48
  Have you guys? Done grid life.
• 32:50
  We haven't gotten grid. Life yet, but we have music.
• 32:53
  All both types of racing and. Yeah, grid life.
• 32:56
  Seems like a a good time, but it doesn't feel.
• 32:58
  Like a. Like a house party.
• 33:02
  Like that's what I felt like Hot import nights used to feel like
• 33:04
  nothing is ever going to. Beat hot import nights.
• 33:06
  I'm fucking felt like a like a back.
• 33:08
  In time, yeah, I mean, but nothing's going to be that's
• 33:10
  like. That's like.
• 33:12
  Like what I think of when I throw these meats and stuff,
• 33:15
  Like it was a full on experience.
• 33:17
  You know, it's like you go there, like you're there for
• 33:19
  cars, for girls, for dancing, for whatever event that might be
• 33:22
  going on, dude. And there's concerts at those.
• 33:24
  Things yeah, like grid life is kind of trying to be that but
• 33:27
  it's like a big. Like Grid life is Forza.
• 33:31
  That's Forza, yeah. You don't like, You don't like.
• 33:32
  It's horrible Yeah, when it like flies into the main like menu.
• 33:36
  I don't know what Forza looks like now.
• 33:37
  It is hot fortnights was like. Going It was like you were
• 33:40
  living in Super Street magazine. Yeah, that's what it.
• 33:43
  Was like you were in the. Magazine.
• 33:44
  Think of like. Like there's the scene from The
• 33:47
  Fast and the Furious where it's it's like like 2000s house.
• 33:52
  So it's like the same little crescendo, like 20 times
• 33:55
  electronic music. I actually like and.
• 33:59
  Then it's like. It's just like.
• 34:00
  Panning around and for some reason there's girls dancing on
• 34:03
  pillars. That's what it was at Edgewater
• 34:04
  too. Like.
• 34:05
  The worst dance moves ever. But that's what we want to see.
• 34:11
  But it's fine. Yeah, but it's fine.
• 34:13
  Brings. The vibe, I don't know what.
• 34:15
  I went to a ratchet Friday at Englishtown.
• 34:17
  I heard those were good too, no? Those were, those were.
• 34:20
  Fun. Those were fun.
• 34:21
  Go crazy. Ratchet.
• 34:23
  Friday, they'd be. Throwing money crazy in the in
• 34:25
  the in the stands, Yeah. Betting on the drivers.
• 34:28
  That's. Like the vibe and.
• 34:29
  Energy that like you want, right?
• 34:31
  Yeah, you don't want to feel corporate and stuff.
• 34:33
  So like, is it gone? Is it gone?
• 34:37
  I don't think. So can we get it back if it is
• 34:39
  gone? I don't know, I mean.
• 34:40
  Like that's like part of our goal is not to like recreate hot
• 34:44
  import nights, but to bring that same mentality back where I
• 34:48
  remember going to those, maybe just going like a couple friends
• 34:52
  or something. We'll like going to like the
• 34:54
  dance, but and then we'll leave with like no one like all these
• 34:56
  other people just because like we were there and like everyone
• 34:58
  was just talking. And because it wasn't like a
• 35:02
  normal St. event where you might have to move somewhere
• 35:04
  constantly. You had enough time to actually
• 35:07
  converse with people and like get to know and see what they're
• 35:10
  about and and, you know, maybe like make plans to do something
• 35:13
  else with them later. Now I feel like at least my
• 35:18
  experience when I came back to like the US was going to events,
• 35:22
  going to meet and having to get ready to drive to like the
• 35:26
  Knicks location because it's getting shut down and then
• 35:29
  driving to another location and it's like it's.
• 35:31
  Yeah, it. Sucks.
• 35:32
  It's like why am I doing? Like I just.
• 35:34
  Like if I want to go drive, I'll go drive, you know, like I'm
• 35:38
  coming out to these meetings. I thought it was going to be
• 35:39
  like more of a communal thing or something where I can actually
• 35:43
  experience other cool cars or and not be there for 15 minutes
• 35:48
  and I have to get back in my car and fucking scramble to like the
• 35:50
  next fucking spot for another 5-10 minutes and then scramble
• 35:53
  again. And then it's like, it's like, I
• 35:55
  think that's what also brought. Me back, you know, I've, I'm
• 35:59
  contrary to everybody in this room.
• 36:00
  I'm very new to the car world. Like within the last 10 years.
• 36:03
  You're not 40, no. I'm 33.
• 36:05
  Whoa, I just figured everyone's 40.
• 36:07
  No, no. You said in the last 10 years.
• 36:10
  Yeah, so bro, so. Before long time.
• 36:13
  Well, you've been. In it for a while.
• 36:15
  Yes and no. SO.
• 36:16
  I've. Known about it for a long time,
• 36:18
  but I never could. I didn't know this existed.
• 36:21
  Well, I didn't know that cookbook existed.
• 36:23
  I didn't know all these things were important nights.
• 36:25
  I didn't know anything about that.
• 36:26
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:26
  For me it was just soccer and music.
• 36:28
  That's what that was my life. And it wasn't until like,
• 36:33
  contrary to other people, like Fast and Furious did not run,
• 36:36
  did not create my love for cars. Need for Speed did not create my
• 36:40
  love for cars. I'm so curious.
• 36:42
  Now so. It was actually a shout out to
• 36:44
  him. It was Nori Yaro who actually
• 36:46
  brought me into the car world. It was one specific video.
• 36:49
  It was a video of him breaking down all the JZX chassis and the
• 36:53
  difference between each and every one of them, Right.
• 36:55
  And then I forget where he was. Yeah, I think he was an ECO
• 36:57
  circuit. And then there were like very
• 36:59
  different ones. There was AVIP one.
• 37:00
  There was like a drift style. There was, you know, the whole
• 37:03
  pro drift car. And I was like, that's cool.
• 37:07
  Where can I find that rabbit hole?
• 37:09
  Yeah. Exactly rain.
• 37:11
  Down and then. Over I can even.
• 37:13
  Get into that video so I was so. This this was like the summer I
• 37:17
  just graduated high school and this was I took a year of before
• 37:20
  I went to college and I just was doing anything and everything.
• 37:25
  And then I was on YouTube one day and Samit video popped up.
• 37:29
  I watched one of his videos. So you kind of like cars?
• 37:32
  Not yes and. No, like I knew about them, but
• 37:35
  I wasn't like I didn't know what the hell was so YouTube was
• 37:38
  creating. You.
• 37:39
  Yes, that's so crazy to say so. I watched a Samit video, then
• 37:43
  Samit talked about no Yarrow. Then I'd looked him up and then
• 37:46
  I was, it was just, you must have saw Jay ZX and you were
• 37:48
  like. Oh, that car is Yeah.
• 37:49
  You don't still watch salmon videos?
• 37:51
  Right, I do. I do.
• 37:53
  We got to get you off though. We got to get.
• 37:55
  You off though, Damn. No more.
• 37:57
  No more salmon videos. The salmon.
• 37:59
  Hates. So so then.
• 38:01
  Yeah, like that created my love and I wanted to know where to
• 38:03
  find that. Then my dad, way before this, I
• 38:10
  didn't know this. I knew what the car was but he
• 38:12
  had a 94 Integra with neo speed parts.
• 38:16
  I didn't know what that was. It was.
• 38:18
  A it was a 5 speed. Now that now that I know about
• 38:21
  cars, I realized that he had a Unicorn.
• 38:23
  And it was like, I didn't know about that, but I was in that
• 38:26
  car every single day because that's the car I went to school
• 38:29
  and that's the car. He took me to school and then
• 38:30
  school trips or whatever. I didn't know.
• 38:32
  And he wanted to give me the car, but I was like, I'm not
• 38:34
  into you were like, fuck yeah. I'm not into.
• 38:38
  Car. So you missed the window?
• 38:39
  I missed the window, damn it so but.
• 38:41
  You have something nice now I do have something nice.
• 38:43
  That's nice. As hell.
• 38:45
  What the fuck? Shout out to likes his.
• 38:47
  Own. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:49
  There we go. Yeah.
• 38:50
  So it was that and then? He sold the car.
• 38:52
  I saw it around my house for a couple of years and then it
• 38:54
  disappeared into the abyss into. The Abyss.
• 38:57
  Where all the Hondas go? And actually, I was.
• 38:59
  Talking about this earlier, like a couple of months back, I want
• 39:02
  to find the VIN number of that car and try to see if I can
• 39:06
  find. Yeah, Yeah, it might be.
• 39:07
  In my brother. Does that kind of shit.
• 39:09
  He'll look up every family car we've ever owned.
• 39:12
  You got what he uses is the like the insurance policy.
• 39:15
  You just get an insurance card, boom, takes a picture and you
• 39:19
  got to find. Some of the old, yeah.
• 39:21
  So I've been talking to my dad. About it, he was like, that's
• 39:23
  fine, He tells me every day. Like I don't know where even
• 39:26
  even old photos. Man, anything of like, you know
• 39:28
  what's crazy? We don't.
• 39:29
  Have photos of that car. I have one of my dogs sit on the
• 39:33
  seat and all you see is the seat, the steering wheel and the
• 39:36
  and the and the and the You said you said you have the VIN
• 39:38
  number. Or you don't have the I don't
• 39:39
  have the VIN number. Yeah, he.
• 39:40
  Doesn't know where it is. I had an Integra I.
• 39:42
  Sold the tube and I have no idea where that is either, but that's
• 39:44
  just because I sold it to some dude in Carteret that's just
• 39:48
  gone for Avenel. It was like right next to the
• 39:50
  jail. It's off of Parks now.
• 39:52
  Yeah, it's. Off of parks now.
• 39:54
  They're all. Rusted away.
• 39:56
  No. Oh my gosh.
• 39:57
  I hope 95 GSR I. Was rusted.
• 40:00
  Dude, I had so many Integra I had I had two.
• 40:04
  And they were both not rusty. I'm not gonna hold.
• 40:07
  You and they were both. They were both.
• 40:09
  They were both. Every panel Vin matched, block
• 40:12
  and trans Vin matched. That was the only thing I look
• 40:15
  for. The fact that that's like a
• 40:16
  thing. Is crazy.
• 40:17
  Well, because like, by the way, the engine wasn't stolen.
• 40:19
  Yeah, dude, that. Was big.
• 40:21
  That was the number one thing, one of the first cars when I was
• 40:24
  looking for my first car and I before I ended up in the other
• 40:27
  car I was looking for. It's like a motorcycle thing,
• 40:30
  but it's. But into cars, Yes, but I
• 40:32
  didn't. Even know why I was looking at
• 40:34
  it, I was looking at it as like a value standpoint.
• 40:36
  People on eBay, it's crazy, dude.
• 40:38
  People on eBay used to list that.
• 40:39
  They used to be like original motive matching everything.
• 40:42
  It's still it's still thing. Yeah, well.
• 40:44
  That's. 2. 1000 so it so it really says.
• 40:47
  The vent on the engine. On the engine, yeah, because it.
• 40:49
  Doesn't on the firewall on the. Fenders on the OK yeah, on the.
• 40:53
  On the bumpers it says it like people.
• 40:55
  It's crazy chopping them. Cars up and selling the car, so
• 40:59
  anything Honda could do to try to, you know, track it or you
• 41:02
  ever get into that aspect. Of Honda.
• 41:04
  Oh, but you think Chris? What I don't?
• 41:07
  Know she might what girl I mean. Before she was.

• 43:35
  I just like. I There's so much room for.
• 43:37
  Activity. So if you decide you want to go
• 43:39
  with a different motor like it's been done before, yeah, yeah,
• 43:42
  the NSX. Giant.
• 43:43
  Yeah, after I found out how low the power was when I first like
• 43:48
  saw what an NSX was, I was like, don't ever like that ever again.
• 43:52
  That was in like 2003. Yeah, but you have to look at it
• 43:55
  when. It was developed in 19901991.
• 43:58
  How much power does it make? Like 200.
• 44:00
  Malcolm, you know, it can, it's like, I'm sure a lot of people
• 44:02
  would be shocked by this. I mean that's it's.
• 44:04
  Like 3, it's under. 3. 100. It's pretty low pass.
• 44:06
  It's under 300 something. 2. 85 maybe the.
• 44:09
  First one, first Gen. Malcolm.
• 44:11
  It's like a. 90 I see it right there, 270.
• 44:13
  It says yeah, but you have to like, look.
• 44:15
  At it from the time period it was created in because it was
• 44:17
  the Everyman super car, it was super affordable. 2 Honda never
• 44:22
  break. It was of the crank 2. 70 of the
• 44:24
  crank and it's the balance. Too of that car is super good.
• 44:28
  My cousin had one of these. I mean a lot of people.
• 44:30
  Say that that's like one of the best Japanese cars.
• 44:33
  Yes, I mean Senna. Right.
• 44:35
  He Senna was Yeah, like. Instant for approval was
• 44:37
  involved in developing. The unnecessary My cousin had
• 44:41
  one of. These.
• 44:42
  And. I have no idea, but the coolest
• 44:46
  thing about it, when I when I when you walk up to it, dude,
• 44:49
  it's actually like this high. Yeah, yeah, yeah, stock.
• 44:53
  Height. Beautiful car.
• 44:55
  But. S2. 1000 in my opinion is
• 44:58
  superior 'cause it just holds like a lot more accolade in it.
• 45:01
  The S2000 FA 20 when it came out it or whatever.
• 45:04
  F20F not Faf. 20C was the highest per literature.
• 45:09
  Yeah, that engine's crazy. Per per liter.
• 45:11
  Horsepower per liter. Sorry.
• 45:15
  Like it set a record. I think also Toyota probably
• 45:18
  beat that right now. Also the engine and.
• 45:20
  If you don't know what this is, I don't know what the
• 45:22
  significance of it is, but Ferrari uses a Cam driven gear
• 45:27
  or like like a single Cam drives 2 cams.
• 45:31
  Does that make sense? I see what you're saying.
• 45:34
  I have to. See what it That's why that
• 45:35
  little one. Bolt in the valve cover on a
• 45:37
  Honda valve cover is like on a S2000 in the middle.
• 45:40
  It it's a Cam driven. Can you show me the inside?
• 45:43
  Of a cylinder head of a Honda F20AH.
• 45:46
  Fuck Malcolm, please. Whatever I'm explaining, it's,
• 45:48
  it's, it's what Ferrari uses. And that's the other thing.
• 45:53
  Is that the F22 maybe? Well, the F20.
• 45:55
  Was AP1F22 is the AP two? Yeah.
• 46:00
  But there are they both do the same thing.
• 46:01
  Oh, so it went. It went up to two. .2 for the
• 46:03
  for the second I didn't. Know that?
• 46:05
  Oh. Malcolm the out of stock on.
• 46:06
  The bottom only 8000. Yeah, RPM red.
• 46:09
  Line. You see how the cams aren't
• 46:11
  touching? A different Cam touches them
• 46:14
  both at the bottom. Yeah, in the middle.
• 46:16
  Oh, you're saying? So you're saying?
• 46:17
  A chain. No, it's Cam driven.
• 46:20
  Gears or some shit like one cog is.
• 46:24
  Turn in both. Yeah, OK.
• 46:25
  It's. Weird.
• 46:26
  So it's not is. There a chain on one ear you're
• 46:29
  saying and then that's spinning both.
• 46:31
  OK, but what is the significance?
• 46:32
  Of that like what is? That I don't know.
• 46:34
  Yeah, it's a performance thing, I think.
• 46:36
  I wonder what that mean? It probably provides.
• 46:38
  Like good gas mileage and performance.
• 46:41
  It's like, all right, Miss Holland, It's like.
• 46:43
  Honda. 'S.
• 46:44
  Honda's camo. I'm sorry you're from.
• 46:47
  Corporate. Yeah, they've got Malcolm.
• 46:49
  I'm gonna take this one off. Your hands because I want to
• 46:50
  look it up a lot like stop design.
• 46:52
  Like that. And they're like, OK, yeah,
• 46:55
  that's. Interesting.
• 46:55
  But I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure there's a reason for it.
• 46:59
  I'm trying to make it make sense of that, like the middle ground,
• 47:01
  like. Whatever you can do best at
• 47:03
  everything, that's what they do. It looks like there's not even a
• 47:05
  chain. Around that original 1.
• 47:07
  So maybe it's just all gear driven.
• 47:08
  It is. Is it all gear driven?
• 47:09
  It says gear. Crank.
• 47:10
  It says gear driven cams are superior for high performance
• 47:13
  engines because they eliminate timing chain stretch.
• 47:17
  Oh yeah, but intention. Or failure let.
• 47:19
  Me give you a little pro tip timing.
• 47:20
  Chain's never fucking stretch, ensuring you keep your.
• 47:23
  Level. That's all.
• 47:24
  It it will stretch when? It's 9500 RPM banging down a
• 47:29
  track. What?
• 47:29
  You know what you Nissan boys know about that?
• 47:31
  We know about that. Come on.
• 47:33
  We know about that. One engine on the VBL you got a.
• 47:37
  Toyota, man, we have an engine that.
• 47:39
  Do that. Too.
• 47:40
  Yeah, the beams goes to 9 grand, SRS go high.
• 47:44
  No, that's. Like the worst.
• 47:45
  Example I. Could have picked Arby's Jay.
• 47:47
  Z goes to 7 grand or less. It's actually not good look.
• 47:50
  I seen Arby's either. My my.
• 47:53
  MR2 goes to 8. Oh yeah, dude.
• 47:57
  AW that shit hits the like when you floor it like the end tank
• 48:01
  noise is just like oh. You know what engine sucks?
• 48:05
  VQ. 35 That shit is annoying. You have one over there?
• 48:08
  No, I. Was hoping none of y'all do that
• 48:10
  all the time. That just sucks.
• 48:12
  Doesn't. Doesn't is it?
• 48:13
  I don't know, it just like keeps me up at.
• 48:15
  Night. I'm like, how am I going to make
• 48:16
  this thing sound good? Like I don't know, I guess I
• 48:18
  should ask you guys because you guys are not necessarily
• 48:21
  Drifters. You guys are car meet.
• 48:24
  Well, they like drifting too. Dude, you like drifting, but
• 48:26
  you're not. As deep in it as we might be,
• 48:29
  No, I mean like we'd. Like, I mean, I personally would
• 48:31
  like to be, but our main thing is really trying to add value
• 48:36
  back into the community. Yeah.
• 48:38
  So like, we'll go to tracks, we'll drive, we'll drift, we'll
• 48:41
  do grip, we'll do time, time attack, but our.
• 48:45
  Meets like. Basically take precedent over
• 48:47
  yeah, that makes sense. Like going out.
• 48:48
  And stuff. So I have a question, do 350 ZS
• 48:51
  and G35 sound good to you? No, they sound like.
• 48:54
  Trumpets. OK, like, nice.
• 48:56
  It's everyone. OK, yeah, everyone agrees.
• 48:58
  Not everyone. Well, I mean.
• 49:01
  I will. Apologize.
• 49:01
  Wait. Hold on.
• 49:02
  Why? Why?
• 49:03
  Why? What's?
• 49:03
  Happening. What's happening?
• 49:04
  Why is he so sorry? My first car was a.
• 49:06
  Nissan Altima, not that that means much, but I was in I was a
• 49:09
  Nissan guy. OK, right.
• 49:11
  I always wanted a Maxima, yes, or a three-point SER OK, Altima,
• 49:16
  which is like, that's the VQ1. Yes, the Maximus VQ.
• 49:19
  Yes, yeah. And.
• 49:21
  For a long time I. Really liked the noise.
• 49:24
  The noise. OK, noise, yes, no, the trumpet.
• 49:27
  Now I have a Granted, I have a two jge, but yeah, that's like
• 49:30
  the total opposite. Yeah, it's the total opposite.
• 49:32
  And it just, I don't know, I just love you.
• 49:35
  Still like the VQ noise? No, no.
• 49:39
  I'm having to find someone person.
• 49:40
  Yes, personally and I don't know if you guys.
• 49:42
  Would agree, but I think the best sounding engine period is
• 49:46
  A1J. All right, watch me.
• 49:51
  Watch your room. Carl's there.
• 49:52
  Yeah. It is the best.
• 49:55
  They're starting. They're starting to sound like
• 49:57
  LS ones to me. They're So what?
• 49:59
  Yeah, yes. Wait till you hear.
• 50:01
  Me going through the pit, dude, that's.
• 50:03
  The guy that's going to make you hate.
• 50:04
  Me, I don't know what I was watching.
• 50:05
  The other day, but it was some drifting thing and I was like,
• 50:08
  I'm so done with this fucking Jay-Z noise because it's just
• 50:11
  like, so like that's the new like good engine swap, right?
• 50:16
  Yeah, yeah. So now it's.
• 50:18
  That's. Like getting into like the
• 50:19
  supercar world where you like you, you know, B twelves.
• 50:23
  It's just like the sound. Like like AV.
• 50:25
  Let's say a Ferrari goes by, you know it's a Ferrari.
• 50:28
  Like you're sitting in a store, it hits a little downshift and
• 50:31
  you're like a Ferrari or a fucking.
• 50:33
  Gixxer There's like or like a motorcycle.
• 50:35
  Yeah. And then?
• 50:36
  But if A1. J hit a downshift.
• 50:40
  What? What was that over there?
• 50:42
  Yeah, I. Get it?
• 50:42
  I mean you own. You own the engine, but it just.
• 50:45
  Makes a tone. Yeah, it makes a tone or like
• 50:49
  this like vibration in your ear, dude, where it's fucking great.
• 50:54
  I mean, I appreciate I. Appreciate that accredited.
• 50:56
  That to the fact that it was designed by a motorcycle
• 50:59
  company. I mean Yamaha, they make
• 51:01
  fucking. Stereos.
• 51:02
  Yeah, they do all of like. Toyotas I I think that's what it
• 51:05
  is. I just think the they, they.
• 51:07
  Always engineer all their like with like notes.
• 51:11
  Like they they want to hit a certain note.
• 51:13
  Yeah, it could be. True.
• 51:14
  Yeah, that guy, I would believe that I am believing you fully
• 51:17
  right now and I'm going to tell everybody they do engine the
• 51:20
  other. Engine maybe?
• 51:21
  They helped with the VQ. And they were trying to get the
• 51:23
  whole order straight. You know who?
• 51:25
  Helped with the VQ. Nuclear scientists were like,
• 51:28
  yo, wait, wait, no. They were trying to build an
• 51:33
  orchestra. Maybe they were like, we need
• 51:34
  the trumpet. Yeah, well, bring in the VQ35.
• 51:37
  Here's the thing. Here's the.
• 51:38
  Thing about the trumpet sound, that's actually the VQ just
• 51:41
  sounds like AV6 to me. No you're right.
• 51:43
  You ever hear like a different role?
• 51:44
  Don't really sound good. Until you put.
• 51:47
  Headers on it. I still don't agree but I feel.
• 51:50
  Like, I think it depends on the, it depends on the engine.
• 51:52
  First of all, yes, the lower the leaders are, the better it's
• 51:55
  gonna sound. Probably.
• 51:55
  Yes, That's yeah. And I'm starting to, so I've
• 51:59
  been doing research, figuring out the Z thing because I have
• 52:01
  one, obviously. So I need to figure this out
• 52:03
  because I can't be going out to sound like a trumpet.
• 52:05
  So I was like, OK, HKS exhaust. I was like, that shit sounds
• 52:09
  good. Way too much money, but it
• 52:10
  sounds really good. And then I was like, all right.
• 52:14
  There was like someone who did a video with test pipes without
• 52:16
  test pipe with the cats. And I was like, OK, you need
• 52:19
  cats. Like it's mandatory.
• 52:21
  If you don't have cats, it's going to sound so bad.
• 52:24
  Like there's just like weird things I'm finding out, but at
• 52:27
  the end of the day it's not going to sound.
• 52:29
  Like a chasey. No.
• 52:30
  Are you? Are you?
• 52:31
  Are. You keeping that any or are you
• 52:33
  going to turbo for now? Yeah, OK.
• 52:34
  I. Mean you talk.
• 52:36
  I like the turbo. But no one's.
• 52:38
  Going to do not. You see that shit?
• 52:42
  Outside, it's going to be another one.
• 52:44
  No, no, no. No, no.
• 52:45
  Did you see? The one out, did you see the?
• 52:46
  One outside. Outside.
• 52:48
  No. Or what about the one over
• 52:49
  there? Inside over there.
• 52:50
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 52:51
  All Frankie's, by the way. No.
• 52:54
  Turn around, we. Just got him.
• 52:56
  Back. No.
• 52:58
  No, the Z is going to run for now.
• 53:00
  No, but yeah. Oh.
• 53:02
  You got to do all that. Guess what kind of exhaust is on
• 53:05
  my car? Just a straight pipe.
• 53:06
  Nothing at all. It's.
• 53:09
  It's literally whatever remnants.
• 53:11
  It's just headers, yeah. It is headers.
• 53:13
  Out because from scraping it so much.
• 53:15
  Dude I took a look at it before I dropped it off.
• 53:17
  The exhaust looks like this but but because destroyed dude,
• 53:22
  there's like a thin wall of exhaust pipe on the bottom.
• 53:26
  Whole thing, though, yeah, that's probably.
• 53:29
  So bad. That's a drift car, so.
• 53:31
  You know, that's why I like, I'm like, yeah, I can get that
• 53:33
  exhaust, but it's going to be destroyed in like a month.
• 53:36
  So I'm like, I don't know. But it's like it's a trade off
• 53:40
  because that car is like a really good drift car.
• 53:43
  It's really affordable. It's everything is, everything
• 53:46
  is great except for the exhaust note, Yeah.

• 54:41
  We are super excited to. Be working with Wrecked
• 54:43
  magazine. Wrecked has been capturing the
• 54:45
  best moments in Drifting since the mid 2000s.
• 54:48
  After a long hiatus, they have recently been brought back from
• 54:51
  the dead with the best people in the industry leading the charge.
• 54:54
  The first couple issues have been nothing but amazing and
• 54:57
  after speaking with these guys I can tell you it's only going to
• 55:00
  get better. Now I won't lie, a print
• 55:01
  magazine being brought back to life in 2026 is pretty risky
• 55:05
  move. It's a dying industry with video
• 55:07
  content and social media flooding the market.
• 55:09
  But nothing beats the nostalgic feeling of print.
• 55:12
  It's always been the best way to get a glimpse into the
• 55:14
  automotive scene that you're interested in.
• 55:16
  Automotive magazines were the reason some of us even got into
• 55:19
  cars. To this day I still have all my
• 55:21
  magazines from high school and it's so cool to be able to go
• 55:23
  back to see how the culture was during that specific time.
• 55:26
  And to have AUS based magazine that's just focused on drifting
• 55:30
  is unreal. They have tons of information in
• 55:31
  the first two issues that I've been reading through.
• 55:34
  Everything from event coverage, specific vehicle articles,
• 55:37
  driver profiles, shop tours, much more.
• 55:40
  Even the ads are cool. For more info or if you are
• 55:43
  looking to subscribe, head on over to wreckmagazine.com.
• 55:46
  They got a bunch of other cool stuff on there as well.
• 55:49
  We are in the middle of trying to get some of these to sell
• 55:50
  here at the shop, so hopefully in the next few months we have
• 55:53
  them here to at least check out or if you want to purchase them.
• 55:56
  That's literally it when you think about it.
• 55:58
  That would be the one to get into.
• 55:59
  Drifting is the Z or the the FRS like those are good.
• 56:04
  I don't know. We we've like S 16.
• 56:06
  We've talked about it. You're waiting for.
• 56:08
  The S 16. I know how you feel.
• 56:09
  Stop. No extensively.
• 56:12
  Right, we're like, what's the best bang for budget car to get
• 56:17
  into drift FRS or today? Like today.
• 56:19
  Right. It it would definitely be a
• 56:21
  yeah, like a 350 dude, you just see.
• 56:23
  So many. Of them I.
• 56:26
  Know it's it's. Like you guys remember what?
• 56:30
  A me too car. Was what I mean.
• 56:32
  I understand. What you're saying but I don't
• 56:34
  know what what? Give me an example.
• 56:35
  I mean like so I remember growing.
• 56:36
  Up like G37, no civics. Were like me too.
• 56:39
  Cars like, oh, you have a Civic? Oh, me too, okay.
• 56:43
  Okay. I get you're saying that's.
• 56:45
  Like a Hyundai. Genesis.
• 56:47
  It's. Like dude.
• 56:49
  I have a Jenny, yeah. Me.
• 56:51
  Too. It's a Me Too card.
• 56:52
  It's like you guys, me too. God.
• 56:56
  I know this doesn't. Involve this, but I feel like a
• 56:57
  Jeep Wrangler would be the same thing.
• 56:58
  This is just. So many, yeah.
• 57:02
  You got me too. Or you do the little.
• 57:05
  What the fuck is that? Yeah, that's.
• 57:07
  The way. That's what I.
• 57:09
  Felt. That's what I feel.
• 57:09
  Like 3 fifties are they are, that's why.
• 57:11
  They're like, well, it's like. It's like, oh.
• 57:13
  Me too, That's what I I hold 350.
• 57:15
  Z1 step above like a G37 or G35. I don't know why yeah, I feel
• 57:19
  like that the three DZ it's probably just 'cause it's in
• 57:22
  Tokyo drift honestly. But if it was a.
• 57:24
  Sedan G37 is that? Better or worse?
• 57:28
  I don't know, it's just a damn. It's a big body.
• 57:30
  I can't I can't deal with G3 Sevens I.
• 57:32
  Don't know why, I don't know what it is.
• 57:33
  I just, I didn't think big body. Is it the way they look?
• 57:35
  Is it the way they look? It's 100% the way they look.
• 57:37
  OK. It looks too far.
• 57:38
  About the new ZI. Don't care what you do to that
• 57:41
  car. It would never look good.
• 57:43
  Yeah, people love. Or hate that car I tried to
• 57:45
  drift with. One like Tandem, the new Z, the
• 57:48
  new one, yeah. You tried to.
• 57:50
  Tandem. Wait, really?
• 57:51
  Well, very. Very far like this.
• 57:54
  We were like, I didn't, it's a very expensive car, like and I
• 57:59
  don't even know if he knew we were driving.
• 58:02
  But I was like I am. Not going anywhere near here.
• 58:05
  I don't know if you knew I was there.
• 58:06
  But I'm not getting anywhere. Near that see, I actually.
• 58:10
  I'm kind of forcing myself to like it, but I think I like it,
• 58:13
  but why? But I'm on the fence.
• 58:14
  I think I'm kind of forcing myself because there's like
• 58:16
  nothing. There to like like nothing else
• 58:18
  out there to like right now. Have you driven 1?
• 58:20
  I haven't driven 1. But I know that they are
• 58:23
  basically a 370Z with a different engine.
• 58:25
  So just Bally's card which? Yeah, but interior?
• 58:30
  Specifically, I think is extremely 370.
• 58:34
  I like the interior. I like the way it looks.
• 58:37
  Yeah, it's still a Z, so like there's things I don't like.
• 58:39
  It probably weighs too much because they all do.
• 58:42
  But like, I don't know. If this is the best we're gonna
• 58:44
  get from Nissan, then fuck it, you know what I mean?
• 58:46
  That's where I'm at. Don't settle.
• 58:47
  What's? Wrong with you is it though?
• 58:49
  Is it though? I mean, they, they went on a
• 58:50
  whole rampage last year of how like they're gonna bring back
• 58:53
  Motorsports and their CEO was like dedicated to it.
• 58:56
  We're probably. Just happy they got wrong.
• 58:58
  I love Toyota and. I know Toyota's, like, they're
• 59:01
  gonna be the ones to bring back Motorsports for, for like, cars.
• 59:05
  Yeah. So they they.
• 59:07
  Turned that back into F1. Till they turn a fucking.
• 59:10
  German car into a Supra like the Gazoo racing is.
• 59:12
  Dude, OK, shit, OK. OK, OK, OK, enough with this.
• 59:16
  Is anyone else mad about the? Super.
• 59:17
  So he's saying his. His argument with the What about
• 59:20
  the MR2 are you? Not mad about their new midship
• 59:23
  fucking wait truck thing that came out.
• 59:25
  What? Look what?
• 59:27
  What? Is this bring that up now that.
• 59:30
  Shit, bring that shit up now. How have you not Mike they?
• 59:35
  Released that at Tokyo Auto and this is new I yeah.
• 59:38
  What is this? MR2 What?
• 59:42
  That's an MR2. That's an.
• 59:43
  MR2 now. That's the new midship.
• 59:45
  What? No, no, no, no.
• 59:46
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 59:48
  Wait. Oh oh.
• 59:50
  Wait, you got trolled too? Wait, wait, wait.
• 59:54
  Go down. Yeah, Sum this up for us.
• 59:57
  It's a tiny truck. A gay truck.
• 59:58
  What is it? OK, Fuck.
• 1:00:01
  OK. No, I should.
• 1:00:02
  Probably read it. No, it actually.
• 1:00:03
  Is like a real truck. And there was.
• 1:00:05
  Like. And it's midship.
• 1:00:07
  It's it's mid engine. So they're joking.
• 1:00:10
  That it is an MR2 technically what did Toyota?
• 1:00:13
  Say to you. To make you so upset.
• 1:00:14
  I was like, I still, I still. They must have said Toyota,
• 1:00:17
  though. They must have been like this is
• 1:00:19
  the new MR2 or something. I know because I I.
• 1:00:21
  Just love MR2. You know what?
• 1:00:22
  I do like Malcolm. If you scroll up, if you scroll
• 1:00:25
  up, that is a Mazzora color. Has to be.
• 1:00:30
  Yeah, the color's cool. The.
• 1:00:31
  Color's cool. That's a.
• 1:00:32
  Mazzora color, so you're going to get one of them and the.
• 1:00:34
  Bridge, Yeah. Whatever that is, they just
• 1:00:37
  didn't if they. Called it.
• 1:00:38
  Anything else OK, but like. Why, dude?
• 1:00:41
  Why? Yeah, why?
• 1:00:42
  Is it you take? Your flagship.
• 1:00:44
  Fucking car, the Supra that carries the most weight in the
• 1:00:48
  car community for your brand and you go hey BMW, can you finish
• 1:00:53
  this? We don't really, you know what,
• 1:00:54
  because coming into. The market, it was a test,
• 1:00:57
  right? So it's like how do you come
• 1:00:59
  into the market without spending the R&D, without doing all this
• 1:01:03
  like he's already doing nothing well?
• 1:01:04
  So like they threw it in. There same thing with the FRS
• 1:01:06
  with with Subi right? So I'm mad about that one too.
• 1:01:08
  I mean. Something wrong but I'm less mad
• 1:01:10
  about that. But but it was like OK.
• 1:01:11
  How do how does a brand go into a possibly a new market after
• 1:01:16
  not having sports cars for so long and then throw massive
• 1:01:21
  amount money into there? It's like it's better for them
• 1:01:23
  to partner with another company for the R&D for whatever to test
• 1:01:27
  the market flagship. Fucking model what?
• 1:01:31
  Do you think it needed? Like which they needed to make
• 1:01:33
  it themselves. No, no.
• 1:01:35
  That's what it needed. I think they should have did
• 1:01:37
  that with like the Celica or something.
• 1:01:38
  Well, they did with the Corolla. Yeah, they made it themselves.
• 1:01:41
  Do you remember fucking Corolla? You got to think back where the.
• 1:01:45
  Supra. I mean, it's cool where the.
• 1:01:46
  Super came. From OK, a Celica the Supra was
• 1:01:50
  it came from a Celica that's puffed up bigger.
• 1:01:53
  OK, You remember my other Celica that I had?
• 1:01:56
  Yeah, it was pretty cool off of that.
• 1:01:58
  The car that looks the. Same.
• 1:02:00
  It looks like a jet. Whatever, but that was from
• 1:02:02
  wheel drive. Yeah, it's from.
• 1:02:05
  Wheel drive and transverse during that time.
• 1:02:07
  The big dog, Big dog M3. What's it in M3?
• 1:02:12
  A three liter or whatever and a skyline.
• 1:02:16
  And a skyline. Whatever in line 6, yeah, a lot
• 1:02:20
  of people like to say that the M3 motor of RB26 was made.
• 1:02:25
  Was made in. Parallel or something similar
• 1:02:28
  that has to do with Yamaha. And guess who made the one J and
• 1:02:31
  the two J? Yamaha, They're pull.
• 1:02:34
  They're pulling. Toyota's strategy was probably
• 1:02:37
  to pull instead of you thinking like, oh, they're not making it
• 1:02:40
  in house, they're not doing this da da, da, da.
• 1:02:42
  Their strategy was to pull the best of what is the best at that
• 1:02:45
  time. B58 amazing engine, great motor.
• 1:02:50
  They cancelled the car. They.
• 1:02:51
  Pulled that from. They cancelled.
• 1:02:53
  The car as Yeah. I mean I good.
• 1:02:55
  Car three years three years it seemed like they were just doing
• 1:02:59
  like market testing without having to spend their own money
• 1:03:04
  right and it and it works for both because like if if
• 1:03:07
  consumers are like yeah we want sports cars now then Toyota and
• 1:03:11
  BMW can both go back into making sports cars for like consumers
• 1:03:14
  and that's what Toyota really did right They.
• 1:03:16
  Like. Put money into the yards and
• 1:03:18
  then they developed out the Corolla and now they made like
• 1:03:21
  the what do you call it? Oh, God, I can't think of BRZ.
• 1:03:26
  Yeah, the BRZ, the GR80. 6 The GR. 86 right.
• 1:03:30
  And and then now they even have like the Gazoo racing line and I
• 1:03:35
  think recently I just saw that they're bringing the whole GR
• 1:03:37
  thing too in general. I'm like, what the fuck is that?
• 1:03:39
  Well, they're bringing back. I think I just saw today they're
• 1:03:41
  bringing back Toyota racing or TRD.
• 1:03:43
  It should have just been that from.
• 1:03:45
  The start what I know it should have been TRD.
• 1:03:46
  Like you see the GR thing I'm. Like what?
• 1:03:48
  Why Gazoo money in it? Well, Gazoo Racing was.
• 1:03:52
  A program by the CEO. What's his name?
• 1:03:55
  The most MO whatever. I can't remember his name but
• 1:03:59
  like the CEO like he, it's all corporate shit to me.
• 1:04:03
  So I I forgot. What the story was, but he got
• 1:04:05
  really into racing because while Toyota was dying out, somebody
• 1:04:09
  at like the program like was like, hey, come like drive with
• 1:04:12
  us. Basically he like fell in love
• 1:04:14
  with an actual motorsport and was like OK let's like actually
• 1:04:17
  put money into developing out like race cars and stuff so that
• 1:04:21
  special edition GR is named after him the whatever.
• 1:04:26
  Starts with an M, so I'm. Bring that crap up.
• 1:04:28
  I just gotta keep thinking of the guy who owns Toyota.
• 1:04:31
  Yeah, it's like. Moz something I can't remember.
• 1:04:35
  Whatever. Like it's Greg's edition.
• 1:04:37
  It's a special edition. GR Corolla.
• 1:04:41
  That does like the. Why can't I remember I got?
• 1:04:44
  Motorsport division, it's like. It's.
• 1:04:46
  Like most yeah, such. Like AM or?
• 1:04:49
  Something or maybe that's his nickname, I forget like why it's
• 1:04:52
  called that. No, just type in MO.
• 1:04:54
  After GR and it should come up. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:56
  OK. But it is this.
• 1:04:57
  Guy Yeah, Maurizio, Maurizio. Yeah, that's like.
• 1:04:59
  His nickname. Oh yeah, yeah, I.
• 1:05:01
  Heard that so. So he's like super into racing
• 1:05:04
  and he's the one that's like, yeah, 'cause he like start doing
• 1:05:08
  racing before Gazoo racing started with Toyota cars and
• 1:05:12
  then because they were like winning or something, they
• 1:05:15
  developed out actual Gazoo racing.
• 1:05:17
  So that's where that came from. And then I guess from, and this
• 1:05:21
  is all like speculation, right? I don't know any of this stuff.
• 1:05:23
  This is like just coming out of my ass basically.
• 1:05:25
  Like I hear like from like speculation.
• 1:05:27
  It's like it seems like because. The market.
• 1:05:31
  Is doing so well. All these sports cars are making
• 1:05:34
  all these sports cars now that they're like fuck it, let's
• 1:05:37
  bring back TRD Racing now. I feel like I feel.
• 1:05:41
  Like GR is the. TRD, would you say it's safe to
• 1:05:44
  say? It sounds like everybody's just
• 1:05:45
  trying to bring back stuff because we're all just tired of
• 1:05:48
  this new stuff. There's there's Kazoo.
• 1:05:50
  Racing and then there's TRD and then for a while TRD wasn't
• 1:05:56
  doing. Like Motorsports?
• 1:05:59
  Or they were doing like they're like making intakes for.
• 1:06:02
  Forerunners no one said they were doing like, what do you do
• 1:06:04
  on? Roads.
• 1:06:05
  My my. Question is, do you think, do
• 1:06:07
  you guys think that nostalgia is killing cars?
• 1:06:11
  No, no, I think. It's making it better.
• 1:06:13
  Yeah, I think. I think it's the only.
• 1:06:14
  Thing keeping it like you guys are you guys are at the.
• 1:06:16
  Front line of seeing this shit. Not going to lie like you guys
• 1:06:19
  when you have a car meet. What is a kid doing when you buy
• 1:06:23
  the car right off the RIP? You want to show that off?
• 1:06:27
  You want to go find more people that are just like you?
• 1:06:29
  So you guys are seeing this shit, you know?
• 1:06:31
  Yeah, you guys probably. See all the over the years, did
• 1:06:33
  you? See it go down or did you see it
• 1:06:34
  go up like it's a wave, right it's.
• 1:06:37
  It's a wave it it went from. I don't know for whatever.
• 1:06:42
  Reason there were no cool cars from like 20 O 6 to I mean 2000
• 1:06:46
  yeah 2006 to like 20 what 10 yeah because of the recession
• 1:06:50
  like. They cut.
• 1:06:51
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's also.
• 1:06:53
  Japanese. Sorry, not Not for what?
• 1:06:55
  But that was it, right? Real World Economic.
• 1:06:58
  Crisis, but at that. Time.
• 1:07:00
  That's true though. Right.
• 1:07:02
  So like. Because of that.
• 1:07:03
  A lot of manufacturers stopped making, like, cool cars.
• 1:07:05
  And the only thing that was kind of cool that was around them was
• 1:07:08
  the Z, the 350Z, right? Yeah.
• 1:07:10
  And that's how that became like today's like 240 that like our S
• 1:07:13
  chassis that everyone like uses now.
• 1:07:15
  That was the death of Nissan 2000. 3 so.
• 1:07:18
  Yeah. To me or the.
• 1:07:19
  Rebirth it was If it was a rebirth, that was a.
• 1:07:22
  With the 2000 with the. Z ugly child with the Z being
• 1:07:25
  new, right? It's like a completely different
• 1:07:27
  chapter. It is a totally different
• 1:07:29
  chapter. Of motorsport because.
• 1:07:32
  When the S chassis was the S chassis like how we all know the
• 1:07:35
  S chassis when they were like 500 bucks chassis like you just.
• 1:07:38
  Knew it as the. Shitter that was that was like
• 1:07:40
  the car where you're like, yeah, I need a thrash car S chassis.
• 1:07:44
  This is the one. This is the my me too car.
• 1:07:46
  Now, Now it's how. Everything is you.
• 1:07:48
  Know electronic you don't even have a break to like pull up.
• 1:07:52
  It's a yeah. I don't get that.
• 1:07:53
  It's I feel like. Well, some people are fighting
• 1:07:55
  it. Like they don't like they just
• 1:07:57
  made like a simple car. Like, I don't need all of that.
• 1:08:00
  Well, that's what. That's what the that's what the
• 1:08:02
  A6 is supposed to be. Yeah.
• 1:08:04
  And it is. And it does.
• 1:08:05
  Good. It's a good friend.
• 1:08:06
  He's done. Donuts in that thing.
• 1:08:08
  I love that car so much, it's so nice.
• 1:08:09
  So. And then that is.
• 1:08:10
  Like that's like the next generation now.
• 1:08:12
  So it's like it's like for us throwing up, it was 240, then
• 1:08:16
  the next Gen. was 350 and now it's going to be the 86.
• 1:08:19
  And the newsy has a. Handbrake too, I believe it
• 1:08:22
  doesn't have a but it's too expensive.
• 1:08:23
  That's the the cost of entry for using that car.
• 1:08:26
  So that car, that car. It is like 40 grand but then
• 1:08:30
  they just market the fuck up for like 5 years straight I think
• 1:08:33
  the the market. Is correcting on that slowly?
• 1:08:37
  Yeah, the Z's. Now are like.
• 1:08:39
  Down, but like I mean everywhere because.
• 1:08:41
  There's, there's less. I don't know.
• 1:08:44
  There's less. I don't know how to say people
• 1:08:46
  are not going to. Buy the cars when?
• 1:08:48
  There's a markup. So like, people stopped buying
• 1:08:50
  them, so they stopped marking them up.
• 1:08:51
  Yeah. And then they were like, oh, I
• 1:08:52
  guess we're going to. Cancel the car.
• 1:08:53
  It's like that's that's when. The the used car market fucking
• 1:08:56
  skyrocketed. Yeah, we have too many.
• 1:08:58
  Cars, that's what I mean. Like there's a lot of shit just
• 1:09:01
  rotten, like rotting away. No, but at least sounds the type
• 1:09:04
  of brand. That will be like, Oh well, we
• 1:09:06
  tried to bring a car back but no one bought it, so I guess we're
• 1:09:09
  not going to make them anymore. And that's a bit time like
• 1:09:11
  there's. No aftermarket development, like
• 1:09:13
  no one's really tested it like the first couple years, Yeah,
• 1:09:17
  not to mention all the dealers. Are doubling the price of it and
• 1:09:20
  then all these like. Brands are doing like, heritage
• 1:09:23
  programs. They're just trying to, like,
• 1:09:24
  save, like, whatever. Old cars.
• 1:09:26
  Yeah, like, what are old cars like?
• 1:09:28
  Which is smart of them to do. Because we sell so many Nissan
• 1:09:32
  parts for these old cars and then like occasionally one will
• 1:09:34
  get discontinued and we're like OK and then it'll come back.
• 1:09:38
  It'll come back in like 2 months.
• 1:09:39
  It's like they literally won't like.
• 1:09:40
  We can't make any cool new cars, so let's just support all our
• 1:09:44
  old cool new cars like all our old like cool cars.
• 1:09:47
  Basically Nissan. Is one of the.
• 1:09:48
  Best brands with. That stuff.
• 1:09:50
  I have a random question. Are you?
• 1:09:51
  Guys, you guys need knobs in your cars?
• 1:09:54
  Yeah, I love knobs. Yeah.
• 1:09:56
  I'm a knob. The main reason that is.
• 1:09:59
  That is the main. Reason why I have not changed my
• 1:10:03
  the H rack my. Radio.
• 1:10:05
  Oh yeah, I love the knobs. I love knobs dude.
• 1:10:08
  I'm sorry, Turbo. Weird Turbo be at home center.
• 1:10:13
  That's crazy. Dude there I got into an
• 1:10:15
  Impreza. Once it wasn't like a cool car.
• 1:10:16
  It was just an Impreza, but the radio had fucking volume
• 1:10:19
  buttons. And I'm like, Oh no, oh, get
• 1:10:22
  pull. Over.
• 1:10:23
  We're all getting. Out of this shit, like I'm not
• 1:10:25
  doing this. That's my that's my Honda.
• 1:10:27
  Fit bro? That's a nightmare, I think.
• 1:10:28
  Malcolm's car is like that too, right?
• 1:10:29
  You have volume buttons? It is a nightmare.
• 1:10:31
  I fuck. Are you gonna be but?
• 1:10:33
  I have a button like I hold on no.
• 1:10:35
  Sometimes I don't even want to lower the ball sometimes.
• 1:10:37
  I'm just like fuck it, I don't even.
• 1:10:38
  Fuck it, I'm not even going to deal with the buns, I'll just
• 1:10:40
  drive in silence. Fuck off.
• 1:10:44
  Yeah. I'm driving an idea like forget
• 1:10:45
  this. You know, You know what is.
• 1:10:47
  Was a weird thought to me the other day because I I I don't
• 1:10:51
  have an OEM radio anymore nor have I ever had one in a long
• 1:10:54
  time radio. They're great.
• 1:10:55
  I know you. Do Yeah, that's my thing.
• 1:10:57
  And and Frankie's. OEM radio like the Chevy ones,
• 1:11:00

  My like everything it's like full stereo E it's.
• 1:11:08
  Like my left speakers? Blown in the back and my right
• 1:11:11
  in the front. You got along so I can adjust
• 1:11:12
  everything and make it sound normal.
• 1:11:14
  You could still do that, but. Digitally but like now it's like
• 1:11:17
  like doing some of that touch screen fuck.
• 1:11:19
  Out of here dude, we bought a. We like our buddy venmoed us to
• 1:11:23
  go buy him a Sequoia that was like 20 minutes from us so we
• 1:11:25
  did it yesterday. It had OEM radio to turn on the
• 1:11:28
  radio. It used to be you hit the
• 1:11:31
  volume. Yeah, always.

  Yeah. Click the volume knob that it's
• 1:11:37
  not anymore I. Have no idea how to turn.
• 1:11:39
  A radio on how to turn it on anymore.
• 1:11:42
  But but I did. That yesterday or last night,
• 1:11:45
  Like I got in the truck and I was like, whoa, boop.
• 1:11:48
  And then to skip. To tune the radio, because I've
• 1:11:51
  had to listen to the radio, Yeah, you have to fucking tune
• 1:11:53
  it with the other knob. I could scroll through every
• 1:11:56
  radio, my everyday life, in one swipe.
• 1:11:58
  I was like, wow, this is fucking.
• 1:11:59
  I mean, brilliant. There's still head units.
• 1:12:01
  You can buy that. Doesn't they do Who's?
• 1:12:03
  The one company that does, I'll never buy a head unit.
• 1:12:06
  Doesn't pine wood? And Blau Punk make a nice OEM
• 1:12:09
  one I I do. In in the AW11, I have a Pioneer
• 1:12:13
  that's like the 90s. Like it comes out and flips.
• 1:12:16
  Hell yeah. Oh yeah.
• 1:12:17
  But also still. Has puns.
• 1:12:18
  Because I'm like, I need the knob perfect.
• 1:12:20
  I need the knob that's the best. That's like.
• 1:12:22
  A JS car. Yeah, we just spent a long time
• 1:12:25
  trying to find a fucking head unit that looked bright.
• 1:12:27
  There's. I love that.
• 1:12:28
  Thing, man, it's just like and it's just enough space for it to
• 1:12:32
  yeah, only if I'm in neutral if I shift in first or yeah, yeah,
• 1:12:35
  yeah, touch the. Radio, it's just like.
• 1:12:37
  I gotta go back down fucking geared that I could fuck with
• 1:12:39
  the radio. What about the dolphin radio
• 1:12:41
  with the? Dolphin that would like yeah,
• 1:12:42
  that radio. Those are cool man.
• 1:12:44
  On eBay. Yeah, eBay.
• 1:12:46
  They're like, I mean, 100. Bucks I mean my my radio has a
• 1:12:50
  remote. Does yours?
• 1:12:51
  Ohh yeah, the remote. Remote.
• 1:12:54
  I fucking hate the remote. My question.
• 1:12:57
  Why the fuck would I have ever needed that?
• 1:13:00
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:13:01
  What I don't know, like am I going to be across?
• 1:13:04
  The you know what but like. I.
• 1:13:05
  Still keep the remote in my car just in case like.
• 1:13:09
  But I don't know what just. In case I need it, you know
• 1:13:11
  where I think that came from. From the whole show car, yeah,
• 1:13:14
  definitely, but yeah. For sure, like for sure.
• 1:13:16
  So yeah, for. Sure, yeah.
• 1:13:18
  For sure. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:13:19
  For sure. Raise the volume up.
• 1:13:21
  No change the song dude when I had.
• 1:13:23
  We had fucking. Bluetooth now.
• 1:13:25
  Dude, when I first got the. Integra, I remember I had the
• 1:13:28
  head unit where still single. Did you had a double DIN back?
• 1:13:31
  You're rich. Yeah.
• 1:13:33
  Yeah, that was true only because the radio.
• 1:13:35
  Was bigger like that world? They were more money.
• 1:13:38
  They were like more expensive. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:41
  And you could take the. The Yeah, that's what I was
• 1:13:43
  trying to say. I.
• 1:13:43
  Would take off the faceplate and you put it in this little case
• 1:13:47
  in the glove box. Lock the glove box.
• 1:13:50
  Yeah, dude. People just steal radios.
• 1:13:52
  Back good you. Have to do that because they
• 1:13:55
  would literally. Steal your radio.
• 1:13:56
  My father's Integra had one. He would click it, pops off, pop
• 1:13:59
  it off, put in the little case to get upstairs, bring it back
• 1:14:01
  down and he would be upset if he forgot it dude.
• 1:14:05
  Oh. Yeah, no music, nothing.
• 1:14:08
  Yeah, fuck dude. And that was way before, you
• 1:14:11
  know. Now we have Bluetooth in the
• 1:14:12
  cigarette lighter. I will say Bluetooth.
• 1:14:14
  Is changed the game Bluetooth is.
• 1:14:16
  Good, that's one thing I'll be like.
• 1:14:18
  OK, that shit's good. I don't have it, but it's good.
• 1:14:20
  Do you like? Do you remember when quick
• 1:14:22
  releases first got kind of popular?
• 1:14:25
  Right before me. I bought that as a theft.
• 1:14:27
  Deterrent but like because there.
• 1:14:30
  Used to be a lock. That you put on it.
• 1:14:32
  Yeah. Yeah, they still have.
• 1:14:33
  That after you. Take the thing off.
• 1:14:34
  Yeah, I went out of my way to buy that motherfucker.
• 1:14:36
  The the. One from work.
• 1:14:38
  Spell is actually really good. Yeah, the one I have like.
• 1:14:40
  This thing where if you. If you start fucking with it,
• 1:14:43
  it'll put the it'll start activating the horn.
• 1:14:46
  Yeah. Wow, it's sick.
• 1:14:47
  That's actually really good. Yeah.
• 1:14:49
  That is not we sell those affected mortgage.
• 1:14:53
  That is. Not the NRG.
• 1:14:55
  One that I bought for V race works.
• 1:14:56
  Yeah, God damn long ago, yeah. But dude, that.
• 1:15:00
  Was like a whole process. I'm just picturing that whole
• 1:15:02
  thing. It was literally like off it
• 1:15:04
  would be. Then you click off everything.
• 1:15:07
  Radio click. Is.
• 1:15:09
  That a Honda pull this. On that.
• 1:15:11
  Or before you had that club. Oh yeah, dude.
• 1:15:16
  And they're still effective. To this day, they're not
• 1:15:18
  effective, man, I mean. They they're not even close to
• 1:15:20
  being effective, bro. Like they're not they're not
• 1:15:23
  even close to being effect. Got a?
• 1:15:25
  Story to go. You could cut the steering
• 1:15:27
  wheel. Turn.
• 1:15:28
  It comes right off like if there's no literal.
• 1:15:30
  Wheel itself, yeah, there's that.
• 1:15:32
  Things are. Like we used to.
• 1:15:35
  Well, no, no, no. I mean we used.
• 1:15:36
  To use we used to use the the clubs like that's what it's
• 1:15:40
  called it's called the club, right yeah, the club.
• 1:15:42
  And then you would do a comma with the club for one for the
• 1:15:45
  clutch from like the stand down to the.
• 1:15:48
  Clutch. Oh yeah, double it up to sound.
• 1:15:50
  Like, you know, but like it didn't matter because.
• 1:15:54
  Literally 11 saw of like the wheel both ones slip right off.
• 1:15:58
  It's like it's damn. I used to have a boot.
• 1:16:01
  A boot? Oh, you get out.
• 1:16:02
  And put the boot on. OK, that.
• 1:16:05
  Yeah, that. Little alpha.
• 1:16:06
  Boot. That's the one I had.
• 1:16:07
  I think you had a boot too. Yeah, dude, live.
• 1:16:10
  There's a Honda. Kid.
• 1:16:12
  Oh, Honda life. OK, Boot.
• 1:16:13
  Yeah, the theme for the Wheel. Before that it was the club then
• 1:16:17
  I had. They should sell all that with
• 1:16:18
  the Honda when you get it Should.
• 1:16:20
  Be a kid. It should be like the Honda kit.
• 1:16:21
  Yeah, that's a good idea. Here's the here's.
• 1:16:24
  The kicker and the absolute cherry on top for the Hondas
• 1:16:27
  when you had one was the fucking alarm.
• 1:16:29
  When you click it, it would hit the and they're like yeah, steal
• 1:16:34
  this. I fucking dare.
• 1:16:35
  You fucking dare. You wait.
• 1:16:37
  What does that? Alarm do.
• 1:16:38
  Like out of I don't know every Viper.
• 1:16:39
  Viper. Viper.
• 1:16:41
  Every Viper. Fucking Viper alarm dude.
• 1:16:44
  Viper's armed. I don't know why, but my
• 1:16:46
  grandfather. Chose to get the most fucking
• 1:16:48
  heinous Viper alarm ever in the Philippines.
• 1:16:51
  It would go Viper armed. Yes, Viper armed you're.
• 1:16:55
  Like whoa whoa, disarm that bitch.
• 1:16:59
  Like if you got. Closer to the car, it would say
• 1:17:02
  something. Yeah, it'd be like it, would it?
• 1:17:03
  Would click step away from the vehicle?
• 1:17:05
  Yes. It would it, would it would say
• 1:17:07
  something? Yeah.
• 1:17:08
  And get away like. What that's?
• 1:17:10
  Are we doing cool? Also really annoying.
• 1:17:12
  To take out of a car it is. That's the only experience.
• 1:17:15
  I have a Viper. Alarms ripping them out of cars
• 1:17:16
  on On that same note, how do you.
• 1:17:17
  Guys feel about push the starts. I don't know me.
• 1:17:20
  Personally, I don't. Like them at all.
• 1:17:22
  But I don't think I it's, I don't think it's up to me.
• 1:17:25
  They're coming no matter what. S2000 has the key.
• 1:17:27
  And the button same time but it came like that.
• 1:17:30
  It came like that. I'm with that and that is also
• 1:17:33
  fucking. Retarded when you go.
• 1:17:37
  Back, it's better. Than just a.
• 1:17:38
  Button. Yeah, it's here.
• 1:17:40
  Yeah. It's like, all right, let.
• 1:17:41
  Me. Just let me.
• 1:17:41
  Start my car. Why?
• 1:17:45
  Do we just have to? Add a step.
• 1:17:47
  OK. Fucking.
• 1:17:48
  This this gonna sound fucking. Retarded this gonna sound so
• 1:17:51
  fucking retarded now but the I as I put pushed the start.
• 1:17:57
  I remember that shit. I forgot, turned into a Honda.
• 1:17:59
  As I forgot it's. Because though.
• 1:18:02
  There was a purpose. I couldn't get the key to work
• 1:18:05
  normal. Neither could Honda.
• 1:18:07
  So. They're like fuck it, just add
• 1:18:09
  that and maybe the problem the the thing about.
• 1:18:11
  Honda is it doesn't even do the like forward click.
• 1:18:13
  Oh, but what about kill switches?
• 1:18:15
  Kill switches is important. That's how you save your car,
• 1:18:19
  right? Have you guys ever.
• 1:18:20
  Had a car. Stolen.
• 1:18:23
  No. OK, never.
• 1:18:24
  I had one. Near miss, Very near.
• 1:18:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No one's stealing my yellow one
• 1:18:30
  now, though. It would suck for the near miss.
• 1:18:32
  Where? In Ramsey.
• 1:18:34
  Really. Yeah, it What Car?
• 1:18:37
  I had the Integra. Oh, no wonder.
• 1:18:39
  There we go. Hondas.
• 1:18:40
  Like I, I. Remember.
• 1:18:42
  Fucking no wonder I I remember my.
• 1:18:44
  Brother and I our bedroom window face the street and the the the
• 1:18:48
  Integra. I would always just back it in
• 1:18:50
  and we live right off of Route 17.
• 1:18:52
  Why is it? So like Honda thing like I don't
• 1:18:55
  get it. It's easy to steal it.
• 1:18:57
  You could. Have started that shit with a
• 1:18:58
  spool. Yeah, like there.
• 1:18:59
  We go. You would just shove it in and
• 1:19:01
  like the key like. It was all round already.
• 1:19:03
  The key is you can seal. Them like, Oh yeah, they have
• 1:19:06
  some weird. Things, literally.
• 1:19:09
  Like a screwdriver. Screwdriver was started, they
• 1:19:12
  come up. With a thing is still 240 like.
• 1:19:14
  That too. You just take a screwdriver and
• 1:19:16
  a hammer and it's gonna, it's gonna go in, it's gonna watch 2
• 1:19:19
  something. You know what?
• 1:19:20
  I think. What it was like a lot of old
• 1:19:22
  Hondas had like the locks that were like push locks.
• 1:19:26
  It wasn't like mechanical, like, I mean, sorry, I wasn't
• 1:19:28
  electronic. It was all like mechanical.
• 1:19:30
  So you could just literally, literally just like kind of
• 1:19:33
  thing, dangle it up and then unlock yourself into the car.
• 1:19:35
  Maybe that's yeah, that's. Probably more of the reason it's
• 1:19:38
  crazy because in New York the most.
• 1:19:39
  Stolen car period. Is a Honda Accord still still to
• 1:19:43
  this day? I don't really get it.
• 1:19:48
  I don't really get it but yo at least they choosing like.
• 1:19:50
  A sensible ass car like that's a good.
• 1:19:52
  Car like this car won't bring down.
• 1:19:54
  On me, that is a good car. V6 It could fit the family.
• 1:19:58
  But that but that near miss. I had backed it up.
• 1:20:00
  We were right off of the highway.
• 1:20:01
  I remember, I remember a car came, it parked across the
• 1:20:05
  street. That's immediately No one parks
• 1:20:08
  across the street like my brother's, like, hey, there's a
• 1:20:11
  car parked across it. Where's the taggy?
• 1:20:18
  Standing outside like washed in the.
• 1:20:19
  Car like what are you doing out there and then.
• 1:20:21
  He and then as. Soon as I feel like he saw the
• 1:20:23
  the the lights moving, he left. He came back.
• 1:20:25
  He parked across the street. This happened a bunch of times.
• 1:20:28
  Then he went into the little there was like a doctor's in
• 1:20:31
  like by the tack shop on 17. You know what that looks like?
• 1:20:33
  Yeah, kind of right behind the aquarium store or whatever
• 1:20:36
  tropical fish or whatever, it's behind there.
• 1:20:38
  He was like circling around in there.
• 1:20:40
  I started to get ballsy with. I straight up like I walked up
• 1:20:43
  to the car. Yeah.
• 1:20:44
  Yo, what are you? Doing.
• 1:20:45
  What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
• 1:20:47
  I've been watching you for three hours.
• 1:20:49
  Yeah. I like like you keep.
• 1:20:50
  Coming back here and I watch you and then he just like wouldn't
• 1:20:53
  lower the window and just drove the fuck off.
• 1:20:55
  I was like did good you. Scared God, not great.
• 1:21:01
  Do you guys? What are you following
• 1:21:01
  questions? No, no, no, I just fucking.
• 1:21:04
  Crystal was asking about. The questions, OK, so.
• 1:21:06
  I asked a question question for each of these guys and I want
• 1:21:12
  you to try to figure out which question it was.
• 1:21:14
  So let's hear. OK.
• 1:21:15
  You want to look at the questions we got here, that's
• 1:21:17
  from Krista. Yeah, we should probably get
• 1:21:19
  into. That if we're what time is it
• 1:21:21
  now for a solid hour here has it.
• 1:21:24
  Been an hour. It's been like an hour and a
• 1:21:26
  half. Yeah, an hour and a half.
• 1:21:26
  Holy shit. Hey, it happens.
• 1:21:28
  Yeah, we should definitely get on the questions.
• 1:21:30
  It does happen. We have talked about nothing,
• 1:21:33
  but that's true. I mean, Seinfeld was.
• 1:21:37
  Successful, right? Well, we well.
• 1:21:40
  Daikoku is actually a nonprofit. Daikoku NYC is a nonprofit in
• 1:21:45
  program name. Oh, you don't.
• 1:21:48
  Oh. Let me just read them, OK?
• 1:21:50
  All right. Well.
• 1:21:53
  There's a lot on here, so I knew I.
• 1:21:55
  Fucking knew. There was going to be, so I'm
• 1:21:57
  going to have to go through. These.
• 1:21:59
  At rear, city's got a lot of people.
• 1:22:00
  Man, that's cool. I have people hitting me up
• 1:22:02
  like, oh fuck yeah, dude. I'm like, Oh my gosh.
• 1:22:07
  Dude, another buddy of. Mine Mikey was like.
• 1:22:11
  My. Buddy Mikey was like.
• 1:22:13
  This one might be. This one's going to be a good
• 1:22:14
  one for the local guys. I'm like.
• 1:22:19
  Mikey, whoever he. Is.
• 1:22:21
  Mikey X3 clean ass tag first. Yeah, first question is real.
• 1:22:29
  Reels versus reps, what is that, I guess?
• 1:22:32
  Wheels. Oh, real wheels.
• 1:22:34
  Versus Rep wheels. What are your opinions on this?
• 1:22:36
  No reps. Ever.
• 1:22:37
  Period. Damn, what?
• 1:22:40
  What? Why?
• 1:22:43
  Stands like whoa whoa whoa. Whatever you're gonna afford.
• 1:22:48
  Yeah, yeah. Whatever you're gonna afford,
• 1:22:50
  you're gonna afford real ones. Get real ones.
• 1:22:52
  You. Can't.
• 1:22:53
  Yeah, reps got reps. Like whatever you're gonna do
• 1:22:55
  reps though if they. Fit.
• 1:22:56
  Good. Yeah, I mean and.
• 1:22:57
  When they break like. Maybe get new rest Yeah, get.
• 1:23:01
  New rest they're. They're they weren't that
• 1:23:03
  expensive. I've lived both lives.
• 1:23:07
  On my Altima I had a. Fake pair of Tees?
• 1:23:10
  Oh, on my GS currently I have a pair of and.
• 1:23:13
  What happened to those did. Those not crack because you hit
• 1:23:16
  like some. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:23:18
  If you have fake wheels. And you drive in New York City
• 1:23:20
  and they don't break. Wait, wait, wait.
• 1:23:21
  Though apparently Josh told me this real Tees crack even
• 1:23:27
  easier. I've never had a pair.
• 1:23:28
  Really probably depends on our vibe.
• 1:23:30
  That's why our our buddy Josh that's that's damn quite frankly
• 1:23:33
  by like. I have a on the front of my GS.
• 1:23:36
  I have a pair of work ZR 10s. Oh, I do like those.
• 1:23:39
  Ones and I have on the rear. I do have the full set, but I
• 1:23:42
  just I like the rear because they're bigger.
• 1:23:44
  I have a pair of SSRGT threes and they've held up.
• 1:23:49
  I've hit. I've hit craters.
• 1:23:55
  It's gonna. Be bad.
• 1:23:57
  Bro it's a big A-Team. Back there, dude, I was, I
• 1:24:00
  walked up to the wheel with Ken earlier.
• 1:24:02
  I was like SSR GT3. I haven't seen these wheels in a
• 1:24:05
  while. And then I realized the car was
• 1:24:06
  on. I was like.
• 1:24:09
  I come back, I'm like, hello. I've lived both lives.
• 1:24:12
  And I, I kind of do agree with Stan.
• 1:24:13
  It's like, you know, whatever you can afford in that moment.
• 1:24:16
  Yeah. I think it's more of like a work
• 1:24:18
  your way up type of thing, you know, Yeah, kind of.
• 1:24:20
  Yeah, and you can't afford it. Stay stuck.
• 1:24:23
  Damn, no. I mean, there are.
• 1:24:25
  Some really nice stock wheels out there, you know?
• 1:24:27
  Yeah, there are hold. Lexus Lines.
• 1:24:29
  And I like that everyone's got. Different.
• 1:24:30
  I like the. IS300.
• 1:24:32
  Wheels on the LS400 a lot the seventeens.
• 1:24:35
  Yeah, we have an abundance of them.
• 1:24:37
  Take them please IS. People can't get.
• 1:24:40
  Rid of them, dude, we have so many.
• 1:24:43
  We'll talk. I think we have.
• 1:24:46
  One more set. Actually, we might, because my
• 1:24:49
  roommate unloaded a set last week and I was like, somebody
• 1:24:53
  needed these. No, because you know what?
• 1:24:55
  We have the stock sixteens on the LS and it doesn't clear like
• 1:24:58
  the knuckle. Oh, OK, so the.
• 1:25:00
  Seventeens. Just cleared in.
• 1:25:01
  They do like you dude. I don't know, I.
• 1:25:03
  Think, I think the whole real verse Rep thing, it just depends
• 1:25:07
  on there are really, really bad reps, dude.
• 1:25:11
  There's like, really fragile wheels out there, and then
• 1:25:14
  there's rear wheels that are also fragile, like in a
• 1:25:19
  different way. It's like you shouldn't use this
• 1:25:21
  on the street because this is a race car.
• 1:25:23
  Dyer Yeah, Not to sound like Volk's.
• 1:25:25
  Marketing team or something, but maybe what Josh was talking
• 1:25:29
  about, maybe there's like a difference between the impacts
• 1:25:31
  they're designed to take. I'm just, you know what I mean?
• 1:25:32
  Pulling that out of my ass because like a race car.
• 1:25:35
  You don't fucking hear about this.
• 1:25:36
  You don't. You don't hit like.
• 1:25:37
  Craters, Craters in the road. You hit rumble strips.
• 1:25:40
  You got a rumble strip, you guys.
• 1:25:41
  Think there's a? There's a.
• 1:25:41
  Difference between like one piece and three piece wheels?
• 1:25:44
  Yeah, yeah, they hold up. Think three piece holds up
• 1:25:46
  better or for drifting I'd actually.
• 1:25:48
  Prefer three piece wheels because if I hit a curb or
• 1:25:52
  something I can replace the lip, Yeah, I think.
• 1:25:55
  That's what it is. It's just the.
• 1:25:56
  Accessibility of like I can just take this off, put another one
• 1:25:58
  in, but we had we had this talk. With a pain in the ass, we had
• 1:26:01
  this talk. With a bunch of me.
• 1:26:02
  And the other yellow fever guys, the the it's, it used to be.
• 1:26:06
  That's the argument, but the problem is is you get how much
• 1:26:10
  is is a is a lip. Let's you gotta let's say you
• 1:26:12
  gotta re lips used to be 200 bucks It's.
• 1:26:15
  Not yeah. I think it's like 450 bucks and
• 1:26:18
  you gotta do it yourself and. Then you gotta do it yourself.
• 1:26:20
  And how? Much is the pair of reps.
• 1:26:21
  And then that's that's how much? How much instead of reps?
• 1:26:24
  Well, I'm not buying. I'm not buying reps.
• 1:26:25
  How much is this? Sort of reps Never been on reps.
• 1:26:28
  I have, I have, I have when I out of.
• 1:26:29
  My S14, Yeah, your very first car.
• 1:26:31
  Ever so, but isn't that? Everyone's first.
• 1:26:33
  Car, everyone's first car. But what I was what I'm saying
• 1:26:35
  is. Now and I would run rush for
• 1:26:37
  like spares. Or something for drifting a real
• 1:26:39
  wheel as an example. That the buddy that we were
• 1:26:41
  having this conversation with Ethan, 'cause he blew up his
• 1:26:43
  front left one, it's a it's a gram light.
• 1:26:45
  It's a 57 Dr. and that's what I have on the.
• 1:26:48
  Eight O 811 that's perfect yeah, because when.
• 1:26:51
  He blew up that wheel. Let's say if we was going to re
• 1:26:53
  lip a wheel and you had to pay 400 bucks, you got to do all
• 1:26:55
  this labor. Then he bought another wheel.
• 1:26:56
  Well if the wheel is like 450. Bucks.
• 1:26:59
  Then yeah, yeah, the mono blocks are like.
• 1:27:02
  It's, it's, it's, it's like this now.
• 1:27:04
  So I'm like, I don't even know what to do.
• 1:27:05
  I mean, it really depends. On like what your purpose is
• 1:27:08
  for, right? Yeah.
• 1:27:09
  So like, yeah, like. What's your purpose like if
• 1:27:12
  you're going to go drifting? Like what does it matter?
• 1:27:13
  Like at that point, Whichever. One you like more.
• 1:27:16
  I have a different. Dude, there's like a whole
• 1:27:20
  echelon of wheels in Japan that people look over because they're
• 1:27:23
  all ugly. But they fit on the IS good.
• 1:27:26
  So I've been buying all those. That's why I have the wheels I
• 1:27:28
  have now. They're like 2 piece.
• 1:27:30
  They weigh a gajillion pounds. Ask Frankie though.
• 1:27:34
  I run that bitch. No tire.
• 1:27:37
  No tires. Ask Frankie.
• 1:27:38
  Wait, what? Like you remember.
• 1:27:40
  Like if the tire comes off. What do you mean?
• 1:27:41
  Like just I'll drive on the. RIM just yeah.
• 1:27:43
  Drive on the rim. I drifted.
• 1:27:45
  Do you remember that one day, Carl kind of drives me out.
• 1:27:48
  Of my mind with his wheels because like I'm always like,
• 1:27:50
  yo, if you relipt these UK size, he's pretty good.
• 1:27:52
  He's like man, fuck it. Then he'll get another set and
• 1:27:55
  I'm like, dude, I was driving, man.
• 1:27:57
  Tire blew off. I just started driving back
• 1:27:59
  towards them. It's just going wheels straight.
• 1:28:03
  Straight as fuck. Yeah car.
• 1:28:04
  It sounds like you buy a. Lot of wheels?
• 1:28:05
  No, she used to a lot. Same pair you used to buy.
• 1:28:08
  I have a question. Do you for someone who's coming
• 1:28:12
  up in the car game, do you tell them always go for full sets or
• 1:28:15
  try to buy pairs as you go and then work your way to a full
• 1:28:18
  set? I like.
• 1:28:20
  I don't know why, but I have a strong opinion on this, yeah.
• 1:28:22
  It's it's like. Again, it's still what you can
• 1:28:24
  afford, don't kill your life over this shit.
• 1:28:26
  But I like going with the full set motion because then now
• 1:28:31
  after you have the set, you split it up.
• 1:28:37
  After. Now, now, no one's getting the
• 1:28:39
  full set amusement. You.
• 1:28:41
  You. Maybe.
• 1:28:42
  Maybe you? Take the better you take the
• 1:28:44
  better pair, you feel me? You you, you sell the.
• 1:28:48
  You sell the pair where it's a weaker spec, get it out, get a
• 1:28:52
  better pair. I mean, I've done that.
• 1:28:53
  I've done that. Then you get the pair to match.
• 1:28:55
  That you actually like. I like matching wheels on.
• 1:28:58
  Cars, If it's a drift car, I'll give you a pass.
• 1:29:02
  Like if I see you on the street or something, OK, maybe he's
• 1:29:04
  doing something, but I feel like the drift style like.
• 1:29:08
  Yeah, like went into car. Meet community people and I'm
• 1:29:12
  like no no no, we don't want to have mixed match wheels.
• 1:29:16
  It's just we can afford. Yeah that's like a full like 4
• 1:29:20
  sets of the nice ones, you know what I mean?
• 1:29:22
  I literally found my ZR. 10s for $500 on Facebook.
• 1:29:25
  See. Yeah, but.
• 1:29:26
  If you're. Trying.
• 1:29:26
  Yeah, if you're trying. To get to us.
• 1:29:29
  Yeah. Then I understand what you're
• 1:29:30
  doing. I never thought of it like that.
• 1:29:31
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:29:32
  But yeah, dude. Buying in trading.
• 1:29:35
  Wheels used to be so easy too. Put it.
• 1:29:39
  Put it. I mean like we.
• 1:29:40
  Used to be 15 inches you like. You are old, alright.
• 1:29:45
  Like you could. No, seriously.
• 1:29:47
  Like 17 inch, 18 inch wheels were fucking big back then.
• 1:29:50
  Yeah, yeah. Now cars come with. 20s yeah,
• 1:29:52
  and now like 17. 'S just small.
• 1:29:54
  I was like, what? I remember putting What about?
• 1:29:56
  The fucking Honda's. Type R when it came with
• 1:29:58
  nineteens or what 20/20/20 was ridiculous.
• 1:30:02
  Like that was so stupid, like. Make songs about.
• 1:30:05
  Rolling on doves because doves were like, big yeah, like.
• 1:30:08
  And then they said it. Came out on.
• 1:30:09
  Literal. That was the only thing I hated
• 1:30:11
  about. Like car culture before?
• 1:30:13
  I used to get the bigger wheels to fill the gap.
• 1:30:15
  Yeah, when we lower the. Cars to fill.
• 1:30:16
  Fill dude we literally get smaller.
• 1:30:18
  Wheels now than the factory. All the people with that Honda
• 1:30:21
  would get like 18 dude. It looked so.
• 1:30:23
  Good. Like Justin.
• 1:30:24
  Yeah, the blue ones. Weird.
• 1:30:26
  It's like. Doing the opposite now.
• 1:30:27
  How do you feel about spinners? I mean I.
• 1:30:30
  Grew up thinking they were dope as fuck on like on like the the
• 1:30:35
  trucks and shit trucks the. Trucks like.
• 1:30:37
  Navigator the. Donks like I mean.
• 1:30:39
  I think on VIP. Build or something could be
• 1:30:40
  cool. They're coming back.
• 1:30:42
  Someone, someone. Had.
• 1:30:43
  A VIP build, that one I meets with Spinners and yeah, the
• 1:30:45
  thing was fucking dope. It was like a tenant crazy down
• 1:30:48
  like spinners and shit. Is his name Kevin?
• 1:30:51
  Kevin from someone has spinners on their car, right?
• 1:30:53
  Yeah, yeah. Someone who's in the drift
• 1:30:55
  community has it. Yeah.
• 1:30:56
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Kevin. Yeah.
• 1:30:57
  It was kind of cool. We're Facebook friends,
• 1:30:59
  actually. I don't know, it's almost like a
• 1:31:00
  novelty. Like, you know, I they don't do
• 1:31:03
  anything. I mean, it's not giving you more
• 1:31:05
  error, right? Kind of interesting with
• 1:31:06
  drifting. Though 'cause it's like, maybe I
• 1:31:09
  thought of it bro watching. As a hazard immediately.
• 1:31:12
  Oh, like it'll pop off like a. Pop off Spectator.
• 1:31:14
  On the side, just like yeah. That's a gone final.
• 1:31:17
  Destination. Drift Edition like that?
• 1:31:18
  Video with the kid that got hit with the cone.
• 1:31:21
  Wait. Could you imagine?
• 1:31:22
  Wait. I need to see this.
• 1:31:23
  There's I don't, I don't. How are we?
• 1:31:25
  How do we bring it up? We're not gonna we need.
• 1:31:27
  To find there's like a big. Video.
• 1:31:29
  Out there where there's like, like he, he, I think it was that
• 1:31:31
  final or it might have been a oh, maybe we've seen this.
• 1:31:35
  Oh my God. It's it wasn't that final bout.
• 1:31:38
  It was that, oh, but somebody. Got smoked by a cone?
• 1:31:42
  After they hit it, yeah, his face was like.
• 1:31:44
  Yeah, so I. Imagine the.
• 1:31:45
  Spin, dude. The wing.
• 1:31:46
  Remember the Wing? Isn't it a wing?
• 1:31:49
  Yeah. Yeah, somebody to get.
• 1:31:52
  Hit in the face with a wing. I don't remember.
• 1:31:54
  I think the phone might have been at GLD.
• 1:31:57
  OK, that little skid pad track that Josh and him, Malcolm's
• 1:31:59
  over there like. Find it not gonna find it but
• 1:32:04
  find it clip. But yeah, like.
• 1:32:07
  I think I agree with him. Like in drifting, I don't think
• 1:32:09
  spinners should be a thing. Like I really I feel like a
• 1:32:12
  hazard. Yes, absolutely, it could be I.
• 1:32:15
  Don't. I've never seen how they're
• 1:32:15
  attached. Some of them, some of them are
• 1:32:17
  just. Bolted on with like a, you know,
• 1:32:18
  Allen key and yeah, this is it. This.
• 1:32:21
  Has got to be it. Oh.
• 1:32:23
  God now? Imagine A.
• 1:32:25
  Spinner. Oh my.
• 1:32:27
  God, look at his. Neck Malcolm when he got not
• 1:32:29
  holy. Shit, hold on.
• 1:32:32
  Dude. His neck is not OK.
• 1:32:35
  Oh. Is that real?
• 1:32:37
  I hope that. Person is all.
• 1:32:38
  Right. Oh, he hit the ground.
• 1:32:43
  I can't. Stop laughing.
• 1:32:44
  He had to hit the ground. You get back up, but look at.
• 1:32:47
  That look at. This part that looks so fake,
• 1:32:49
  it's so crazy. Dude.
• 1:32:53
  His neck bent in. Some crazy way.
• 1:32:59
  Sick. Entry though by this I've never
• 1:33:01
  seen. This video, by the way, they get
• 1:33:05
  the fuck out of it like that is. So not like.
• 1:33:08
  Imagine the spinner flying off your wheel at it's only matter
• 1:33:12
  town. At the bank and it.
• 1:33:13
  Just it's only matter of time, yeah.
• 1:33:15
  Someone gets the final destination.
• 1:33:18
  Unless you got over there, Frankie.
• 1:33:19
  What's the best way to contact? You guys so I don't miss the
• 1:33:22
  next event, someone said well we.
• 1:33:24
  Try to help. A lot of small.
• 1:33:26
  Businesses in New York, so we always try to promote small
• 1:33:29
  businesses and visiting them is definitely the best way to know
• 1:33:33
  when we might be holding like a word of mouth event or something
• 1:33:36
  like that. So oh OK so you don't post all?
• 1:33:38
  Of them we don't post all of them things.
• 1:33:40
  That we do post are when we work with the city.
• 1:33:43
  So on March 1st we're going to be doing the Lunar New Year
• 1:33:46
  parade in Chinatown. That one's public.
• 1:33:49
  We'll have like registration enough for people to come out to
• 1:33:51
  that and stuff completely free. Rather completely free because
• 1:33:55
  nothing to know about. We never.
• 1:33:57
  Never charged for anything and we'll also be working with a
• 1:34:05
  coffee shop in Chinatown for their grand opening February
• 1:34:09
  14th. Super wow coffee.
• 1:34:11
  I've seen some of your. Videos.
• 1:34:13
  Where is that in? Miami.
• 1:34:14
  No, they're they're actually based in.
• 1:34:16
  California that fucking can't. That that sorry, that was
• 1:34:19
  they're, they're California. Miami and now New York, Yeah.
• 1:34:23
  And they actually, they're kind of.
• 1:34:27
  In the drift community. As well they do, they have
• 1:34:30
  another brand called Super Wow Factory.
• 1:34:33
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:34
  And they? Do like vinyl?
• 1:34:34
  Stuff Yeah, they do like vinyl, I think they.
• 1:34:36
  They actually did Adam Elsies. Yeah, they do a lot of parts,
• 1:34:40
  yeah. So.
• 1:34:41
  We're gonna be doing helping out with their grand opening the
• 1:34:44
  14th. So a couple of us will be out
• 1:34:46
  there with some cars and stuff like that and that's like the
• 1:34:49
  best way to find us is like go visit these small businesses,
• 1:34:52
  talk to the people there. They'll give you information do.
• 1:34:55
  You purposely not. Advertise all of them because.
• 1:34:59
  Of the amount of people or like, OK, there's a couple reasons.
• 1:35:03
  Why, like amount of people for sure is 1.
• 1:35:06
  But I feel like the word of mouth aspect really kind of
• 1:35:08
  brings the community closer. It makes it where you have to
• 1:35:12
  talk to your, you have to kind of tell them about the event.
• 1:35:14
  And it makes it where like you want to tell your friends about
• 1:35:17
  like the event. It's like, yo, I heard about
• 1:35:19
  this thing. Why don't you come with me to
• 1:35:20
  come check it out? And it makes it feel more
• 1:35:23
  inclusive for everyone instead of like, oh, you didn't see the
• 1:35:27
  flyer. It's like, well, you know,
• 1:35:28
  you're getting invited by your friends.
• 1:35:29
  You'd rather go to a party that your friends invite you to then
• 1:35:32
  you see a flyer for somewhere. Yeah.
• 1:35:35
  And. It's got to be because there's
• 1:35:36
  going to. Be too many people if you put a
• 1:35:37
  flag there, yeah. Yeah, I mean.
• 1:35:39
  There's, there's that's probably going to be mobbed.
• 1:35:42
  I don't know about Jersey, but the new.
• 1:35:43
  York. Cops are like on it.
• 1:35:44
  Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, but every time we do an
• 1:35:49
  event. We do try to talk to whatever
• 1:35:51
  local precinct in whatever neighborhood we're in to kind of
• 1:35:54
  let them know we're going to be there.
• 1:35:55
  We talk to, Yeah, we try to have to.
• 1:35:57
  I mean, we try to. Make.
• 1:35:58
  It as. Permitted or as.
• 1:36:01
  Legitimate as possible either through real permits from the
• 1:36:04
  city or the OK from land owners like the real estate owners like
• 1:36:10
  the former people and stuff. I can't count on the amount.
• 1:36:12
  Of times we've had like, hosted events, we told PD we were gonna
• 1:36:16
  be there and like, they rolled by and they were like, do your
• 1:36:19
  thing. I'm not even here.
• 1:36:19
  Like I just want to see the car. Yeah.
• 1:36:23
  Yeah, they used to come by and. They're here to be a part.
• 1:36:25
  And that's the thing, we always invite them to come join it too
• 1:36:27
  because we're like, hey, this is a community event.
• 1:36:29
  You guys are part of community. Come and join it.
• 1:36:31
  Come and be a part of this. It's not something we're not
• 1:36:34
  doing anything wrong. We're just out here trying to
• 1:36:36
  add some value back into this neighborhood, either through
• 1:36:39
  commerce or just a showcase or whatever it might be.
• 1:36:43
  I've seen one one of your. Videos or one of the videos of
• 1:36:46
  that. What's his face made for you
• 1:36:47
  guys? Fucking that shit was crazy
• 1:36:50
  dude. It was like a tight street.
• 1:36:51
  I'm like, how do they do this? Yeah, that's what it looked
• 1:36:54
  like. Yeah, I'm like, damn.
• 1:36:56
  Like there's like no room to do anything here.
• 1:36:58
  But I guess you guys make it work.
• 1:36:59
  But we, we organize it out. Really.
• 1:37:00
  Well, so you're not at a like. Coco meet unless there's a
• 1:37:03
  garbage truck. A boss, something crazy comes
• 1:37:07
  through and tries to oh through the.
• 1:37:09
  Tiny. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:37:11
  So that's the official mark. Of a great meeting, I mean cuz
• 1:37:14
  it's still. A street event, right?
• 1:37:16
  Yeah, everything's still always happening.
• 1:37:17
  Like we don't block real traffic.
• 1:37:19
  Like that's our main thing is like we.
• 1:37:21
  Try not to impede on the neighborhood.
• 1:37:23
  We try to, you know, make sure everything is still operating.
• 1:37:26
  That's like one of the most important.
• 1:37:27
  Things I think cuz like the neighborhood is what's gonna get
• 1:37:30
  you shut down yeah Frankie yeah we we.
• 1:37:34
  It's like every time we announce an event or we're at an event,
• 1:37:37
  we're not here to disrupt. Yeah, we're not here to destroy
• 1:37:40
  are the two biggest things we go by.
• 1:37:42
  And it's like, traffic needs to keep moving, right?
• 1:37:46
  Because I can't. Like we've literally had
• 1:37:49
  gridlocks on Google Maps. Like we're at a meet and like
• 1:37:52
  you literally see all the red lines because they're so.
• 1:37:54
  Oh my God, right. So it's like.
• 1:37:57
  We need to keep traffic flowing, keep traffic moving.
• 1:38:00
  And you know, we tell people like, yes, you're here for the
• 1:38:02
  cars, but try to stay on the sidewalk out of the street so
• 1:38:05
  cars can just roll all through. And it just, it's just seems
• 1:38:08
  seamless. Try to find somewhere to park.
• 1:38:10
  And I mean like we'll have. We'll go through.
• 1:38:15
  A lot of pre planning. Before any of these meets, we'll
• 1:38:18
  go to like the areas we'll survey the streets, we'll like
• 1:38:20
  know like, OK, people are going to be coming from here, here,
• 1:38:23
  here. We need people at these
• 1:38:24
  intersections to make sure traffic's long.
• 1:38:26
  We got to have people helping guide parking to make sure if
• 1:38:30
  buses are turning in this corner, no one parked here.
• 1:38:32
  So they have enough space for buses to come through that.
• 1:38:35
  So. And then we also spend like
• 1:38:38
  weeks prior to the. Event.
• 1:38:40
  To go meet all the businesses in the neighborhood, talk with
• 1:38:43
  them, let them know we're going to be doing something in the
• 1:38:45
  neighborhood, see if they want to be involved with it as well.
• 1:38:48
  So we're just trying to cover all our avenues before any event
• 1:38:52
  happens. So it's smooth, you know, it
• 1:38:54
  seems like it's this quick like. Impulsive or like?
• 1:38:59
  Impromptu meat that just pops up out of nowhere and people come
• 1:39:02
  to. But like we put so much planning
• 1:39:04
  behind these things to make it work and feel like sometimes
• 1:39:08
  like months in. Advance.
• 1:39:09
  Yeah, no one even thinks about. That stuff when they're there,
• 1:39:12
  plus we we've done. The same thing over and over
• 1:39:14
  again with each other. So we just flow like you don't
• 1:39:17
  even have to think like we know, I know who's going to be
• 1:39:20
  responsible for what. And then we just, we've gone
• 1:39:23
  through enough. Iterations where trial and error
• 1:39:26
  has come into play enough times for us to figure out exactly
• 1:39:29
  what the procedure has to be for these events to flow very
• 1:39:32
  smoothly. And over time, that's progressed
• 1:39:34
  to us becoming a nonprofit. So, you know, it started with
• 1:39:37
  just like any car meter St. like club or whatever, just like
• 1:39:41
  calling people out, maybe posing a flyer here and there.
• 1:39:43
  But as it grew and we saw what it was becoming, we had to adapt
• 1:39:47
  to the situation. Yeah.
• 1:39:49
  And and we learned that fairly. Quickly too, yeah, especially
• 1:39:52
  when, you know, we were doing our garage meets in that little
• 1:39:56
  garage. The.
• 1:39:57
  Little garage you're talking about I mean so like we'll.
• 1:40:00
  With a single lane. That was hard to get all the
• 1:40:03
  cars out. You're having a meet?
• 1:40:04
  Yeah. Oh my.
• 1:40:07
  And we'll. Pull up the whole.
• 1:40:08
  Garage and like. Early.
• 1:40:10
  Very early. On when we were doing this like
• 1:40:14
  we weren't. Talking to NYPD.
• 1:40:15
  We weren't talking to anybody. We were just like, oh, cool
• 1:40:17
  garage. Let's just throw meat here.
• 1:40:19
  It'll it'll like mitigate all the other issues meats have with
• 1:40:23
  like loud revving and doughnuts and loud music.
• 1:40:27
  If we just hold it in a place, at least my thought at the time
• 1:40:29
  was if we hold it in a place where you got to pay to get in,
• 1:40:32
  there's cameras, it's going to be echoes if people are going to
• 1:40:35
  be revving and no one's going to want that shit.
• 1:40:37
  Like it'll help deteriorate the tear.
• 1:40:40
  All the things that you don't want at me to happen.
• 1:40:43
  Yeah. And then what happened?
• 1:40:45
  And no, that stuff happened like.
• 1:40:46
  That was pretty good. No, none of that.
• 1:40:48
  Happened like it was and it was a lot of it I, I personally
• 1:40:53
  think has to do with we started really small with just like a
• 1:40:56
  few cars coming out. It gave us the opportunity to be
• 1:41:00
  very personable to actually talk to everybody and let them know
• 1:41:03
  what we're trying to build. And, and that went on for a
• 1:41:06
  while. Even when we had like hundreds
• 1:41:08
  of people out, I would still go around trying to shake
• 1:41:10
  everyone's hand and like, talk to them.
• 1:41:11
  I'm like. Hey, this is what we're doing
• 1:41:13
  out here. Like thank you for.
• 1:41:14
  Joining us, you know, like and. It.
• 1:41:17
  Got to a point where we're just like, all right, cops started
• 1:41:21
  showing up because it got too big.
• 1:41:22
  And then I always see them come and I'd run over and I'd shake
• 1:41:26
  their hand and I'd talk to them and I'd explain like, hey, this
• 1:41:29
  is what we're doing. We're not like trying to be a
• 1:41:31
  nuisance or anything. We're just trying to enjoy this
• 1:41:34
  hobby. And they're like.
• 1:41:37
  All right, all. Right, well, we'll let it go
• 1:41:40
  this time and then and it just. Like.
• 1:41:43
  There's a lot. Of non profit.
• 1:41:47
  Just. Before that, right now.
• 1:41:49
  Now, like now. Like, I mean, I was just at the
• 1:41:52
  precinct yesterday talking to them about planning the parade
• 1:41:55
  and stuff where they're like, Oh yeah, you guys did that event
• 1:41:57
  like a whop. That was amazing.
• 1:41:59
  So like NYPD's take, they're taking notice.
• 1:42:02
  They're taking notice of the community and they're like, OK,
• 1:42:05
  hey, there are good enthusiasts. Like in New York.
• 1:42:08
  It's not just a takeover culture.
• 1:42:10
  It's not just like it's not always going to end in some type
• 1:42:16
  of disastrous way, so. I saw that they would come.
• 1:42:20
  To these events, I'd talk to them, I'd let them know like,
• 1:42:23
  hey, look at the people here, look at the cars here.
• 1:42:25
  People are just parked, they're just talking.
• 1:42:27
  There's nothing really going on. And they all paid.
• 1:42:29
  We all paid for a ticket to be in this garage.
• 1:42:32
  We're I guess loitering or whatever.
• 1:42:35
  But like who are we harming? Like what are what are we really
• 1:42:37
  harming right now? They'd look at us and like these
• 1:42:40
  cars. Are nice.
• 1:42:42
  And then it doesn't look like. Like exactly they're like they.
• 1:42:45
  Don't look out of place. And and as like I would talk to
• 1:42:49
  some officers, there'd be like families with strollers pushing
• 1:42:52
  by. I'm like, there's literally
• 1:42:53
  babies here. Like, you know, like, what are
• 1:42:55
  we trying to do? Like you think the baby's gonna
• 1:42:56
  do anything like so? They might I.
• 1:42:59
  Don't know, you know, but it became like.
• 1:43:03
  Even though it was a night time event, it was still very family
• 1:43:07
  oriented. Just the people that came out
• 1:43:08
  and the age groups that came out were like high school kids that
• 1:43:11
  had no cars to like people that have been in hibernation like,
• 1:43:14
  Oh yeah, this is what it used to be like back in the day.
• 1:43:16
  This guy, you know, so like so. So.
• 1:43:20
  So you have all these. Age groups and then it just
• 1:43:23
  became this cultural like melting pot of different age
• 1:43:25
  groups and ethnicities and people and, and that's how like
• 1:43:28
  we met. Like I would have never like
• 1:43:30
  have met these guys if it wasn't for like the community and
• 1:43:32
  stuff. And that's what it is now.
• 1:43:35
  It's just like everyone comes out, they'll meet some people,
• 1:43:38
  they feel super welcomed or kind of included in it, and then a
• 1:43:43
  lot of people leave with forming new friendship, new
• 1:43:45
  relationships, new whatever. Like I literally met my fiance
• 1:43:50
  out of out of meet. Really.
• 1:43:52
  She yeah, yeah, she came to a meet.
• 1:43:54
  Not even. Like my meet, just like yeah and
• 1:43:57
  and like I met my girlfriend. Out of meet.
• 1:44:01
  Shit. So yeah, you know.
• 1:44:02
  We I better start. Going in the.
• 1:44:04
  Meet. We haven't been.
• 1:44:06
  We actually have a friend shout. Out to Jose, who was part of our
• 1:44:09
  group very early on, but he also got married, had kids and you
• 1:44:13
  know, we might have to go to a music.
• 1:44:15
  I've been avoiding. This shit like a plate, that's I
• 1:44:18
  guess that's our problem, I guess and.
• 1:44:21
  It. Just became a place where people
• 1:44:23
  were building relationships, right?
• 1:44:25
  Where we talked about earlier where the events allowed enough
• 1:44:29
  time for people to have conversations and build
• 1:44:32
  relationships and even like when this all started it was same
• 1:44:36
  thing, me being old, like I don't have much friends now,
• 1:44:39
  they're all like doing their own thing, but I still want to share
• 1:44:41
  my passion. What can I do to do that?
• 1:44:43
  Like I'll try to find like the events that are going on not
• 1:44:47
  exactly welcomed or they're too exclusive or whatever for me to
• 1:44:50
  be a part of since I wasn't already in the nowhere or
• 1:44:53
  whatever. Like fuck it, start it myself.
• 1:44:55
  And then and it obviously resonated with other people that
• 1:45:00
  felt the same way is why it gets the support that it does right,
• 1:45:03
  Because it's never about us here.
• 1:45:06
  It's really about like the people that come out and then
• 1:45:09
  what you get out of coming out to take these events and it's
• 1:45:12
  really just meeting other people, learning about like what
• 1:45:15
  goes on, learning about the car culture.
• 1:45:17
  Like maybe you're just new to the car culture and, and people.
• 1:45:20
  Come from all over. Like I see Connecticut plays.
• 1:45:23
  I know from Texas one. All.
• 1:45:26
  Over. Pennsylvania.
• 1:45:28
  They'll come two hours. That's crazy.
• 1:45:31
  Someone came. To one of our meat from Albany
• 1:45:32
  and and it was a piece of me, I. Was like, we were just like.
• 1:45:37
  The pizzeria and people. Like they're coming out for a.
• 1:45:42
  Maybe a 2 hour event that's. Crazy to have.
• 1:45:44
  Driven all the way. From Texas like 18 hour drive. 2
• 1:45:48
  hour event. And and she's like that's.
• 1:45:50
  It Yeah, that's it. You.
• 1:45:51
  Know the, the other thing about it and not to make this longer
• 1:45:54
  than it really needs to be, but it's like from this, it's not
• 1:45:58
  just the cars like we've met photographers, we've met
• 1:46:01
  videographers, we've met DJs, we've met dancers, models like
• 1:46:05
  and then well, that's that's our whole other like.
• 1:46:08
  Backside this like I was a art major.
• 1:46:11
  I I my day job is in design. That's what I do day-to-day and
• 1:46:16
  I'm always trying to foster like creatives and just that's why
• 1:46:19
  that looks so. Good, I was about to say.
• 1:46:21
  Motherfuck God this is your. Cook right?
• 1:46:24
  Here shit. I mean, a lot of that was.
• 1:46:27
  Like how do I give back to the creative community as well?
• 1:46:29
  Like we thought, we make these cool events and in there is a
• 1:46:33
  creative playground for videographers, photographers to
• 1:46:36
  experiment with wherever the hell they want.
• 1:46:38
  And it's all free. Yeah.
• 1:46:39
  And then yeah, they. Could really just practice on
• 1:46:41
  the the media they got right there.
• 1:46:43
  We've had like, people. Who started shooting a week
• 1:46:46
  before our meets and it was like or just start shooting at our
• 1:46:48
  meets? Yeah, like phones and then we we
• 1:46:51
  have like group chats and stuff where it's just collaborative.
• 1:46:55
  Yeah. I mean, like, that just pushes
• 1:46:57
  other videographers and photographers into like
• 1:47:03
  critiquing their work and getting them better.
• 1:47:05
  So it's a community within a community that's pushing out
• 1:47:08
  creative work as well. Like we don't post.
• 1:47:11
  Anything on? I, I'm I'm not out there like
• 1:47:14
  doing Instagram post or doing whatever that account has.
• 1:47:17
  Farmed itself pretty nice. I don't think like.
• 1:47:21
  It is. All.
• 1:47:22
  Because we're trying to showcase other people's work and stuff.
• 1:47:26
  It's a platform for people to showcase their work and at the
• 1:47:29
  same time it's helping document the culture.
• 1:47:31
  So why would we not want to do that?
• 1:47:33
  It's a, it's a win, win for everyone.
• 1:47:35
  You know, we have people. Now you know photographers who
• 1:47:38
  now work with Lumix from our meets and our videos that
• 1:47:42
  they've shot. And Ken, shout out to Ken who
• 1:47:45
  was with us very early on. He now does like things for
• 1:47:48
  corporates and he goes and does videos for corporate.
• 1:47:50
  He quit his day job. To be full time videographer and
• 1:47:55
  was just shooting cars with us like non-stop.
• 1:47:57
  He he never shot cars before fighting us.
• 1:47:59
  He found us at the Lunar New Year parade like 3-2 three years
• 1:48:03
  ago. By chance.
• 1:48:04
  By chance. He's the guy that swings his
• 1:48:06
  thing. He's the gimbleman.
• 1:48:07
  No way. So he never shot cars.
• 1:48:10
  Before that, he she was still. Out there swinging his shit
• 1:48:12
  around, like just around people. Can you find the shitmel?
• 1:48:16
  Go what? Yeah, only can, only can.
• 1:48:18
  Yeah, on. Instagram.
• 1:48:19
  And, and I think I've seen this, yeah.
• 1:48:21
  And he's like. He's a human drone.
• 1:48:22
  Basically, and his work was amazing.
• 1:48:25
  Like you wash that stuff and it's like whoa.
• 1:48:27
  So. Like we.
• 1:48:28
  Brought him out to a like one of our meets and yeah, so like we
• 1:48:33
  brought him out to one of our meets and he just became like
• 1:48:36
  the guy that was shooting all that videos.
• 1:48:38
  Oh my God. Where he's like, yeah.
• 1:48:42
  Yeah, yeah, I. Never.
• 1:48:43
  I never knew their names or. Anything but.
• 1:48:46
  When he is doing this, it's performance art.
• 1:48:49
  It is. Click where that silicone is.
• 1:48:51
  Yeah, it is. It is.
• 1:48:53
  Performance art, it is his left actual, the product is art, but
• 1:48:58
  the way that he creates it is an art form.
• 1:49:00
  Dude, it really. Is an art form when he starts
• 1:49:03
  getting into the moves because he hits like a like, I'm going
• 1:49:07
  to wait for a shot. I'm going to wait for a shot
• 1:49:09
  where it looks where I'll be like, Oh my gosh, wait, like.
• 1:49:14
  He's probably swinging it right now and you would never know.
• 1:49:16
  Yeah, he would never know. And you're like.
• 1:49:20
  Whoa. What the fuck are you doing?
• 1:49:22
  Damn 964 it looks great. Has he been in?
• 1:49:23
  Japan, that guy. Yes, yes, yeah, he went last.
• 1:49:26
  Year him in a video. From Japan, probably of a car.
• 1:49:28
  Meter or something? Yeah.
• 1:49:29
  And I was like, what the fuck is that guy doing in the
• 1:49:31
  background? But now it makes sense, you
• 1:49:32
  know? So like he.
• 1:49:33
  Came from not doing any car videos at all and then he found
• 1:49:38
  one of our events. Maybe his tag photos or.
• 1:49:41
  Whatever. And he's just started coming.
• 1:49:42
  To like all of our events and then like, he's part of like,
• 1:49:45
  like he's our friend. Like we bring him out like
• 1:49:46
  everything as well. But like, he was just shooting
• 1:49:48
  everything. There he is.
• 1:49:49
  There's Ken. Yeah, fire.
• 1:49:53
  And then that's Rome. Who's not working with Lumix?
• 1:49:57
  That's. Wild man.
• 1:49:58
  So like, we try to foster the creatives in the community as
• 1:50:00
  well. I was going to say I love you,
• 1:50:02
  Ken. Because every time I talk about
• 1:50:03
  him, I have to say that no, that's.
• 1:50:05
  No, that's, that's so huge. I have a lot of friends who are
• 1:50:09
  photographers and stuff and send them out, like, yeah.
• 1:50:12
  Yeah, it's some. Yeah, that's.
• 1:50:13
  What we do? Like we'll have like critiques,
• 1:50:15
  like people will put in their work in this chat.
• 1:50:17
  We will all like a good amount of us will give critiques to the
• 1:50:21
  work to help better it. Or we'll go on Discord.
• 1:50:24
  We'll have like actual like working sessions where people
• 1:50:27
  like, hey, I'm working on this photo or I'm working on this
• 1:50:29
  video and what are some things I can do?
• 1:50:31
  And everyone is down to help each other.
• 1:50:33
  And there's different levels. There's pro people in there that
• 1:50:36
  do it professionally and there's people that are, they just have
• 1:50:39
  their phone and they just start it.
• 1:50:41
  But there's like the other part of there's no judgement or
• 1:50:44
  anything. Everyone is down to help
• 1:50:45
  everyone. Whose red skyline is that?
• 1:50:47
  I keep seeing Josh's. I think it's.
• 1:50:49
  Sick. Josh's love that one.
• 1:50:51
  It's the R34 bail side. Yeah, the bail side.
• 1:50:54
  I think it's cool. There is like another.
• 1:50:56
  R34 that I've been seeing lately.
• 1:50:59
  I don't. It's also red.
• 1:51:01
  I don't know why I can't think of.
• 1:51:04
  Red, Red R34. Skyline.
• 1:51:05
  But here's the kicker. Here's the kicker.
• 1:51:07
  I was just driving. It was literally did it have the
• 1:51:12
  ground? The the Valsi.
• 1:51:13
  Livery on this? Was a little while ago.
• 1:51:15
  There was no livery. Faded carbon hood roof, faded
• 1:51:19
  carbon hood. It was probably him.
• 1:51:21
  He delivery is relatively we just put that on there.
• 1:51:26
  What the Hell's going on here? That's Ken.
• 1:51:28
  That's Ken. That's Ken.
• 1:51:29
  That's that's Ken doing his thing.
• 1:51:30
  Isn't it crazy? I mean this is the.
• 1:51:32
  More tamed version of Ken. Yeah, the less this is.
• 1:51:35
  The very less what you want very tame.
• 1:51:39
  Yeah, this is the very tame. Version no Frankie dude, I.
• 1:51:42
  Love that. It's like the the classic
• 1:51:44
  photographer in the front and then he's like, no, that's how
• 1:51:46
  you do it. Well, cuz he's getting the.
• 1:51:49
  Photographer too. Yeah.
• 1:51:50
  OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:51:52
  It's part of it, yeah. Who's the model?
• 1:51:56
  Fucking Carl. Who's the model when I saw?
• 1:52:01
  Him at 7's day, that's where I saw him.
• 1:52:05
  I was like, cuz he went up, buy our cars and stuff and like
• 1:52:09
  we're just kind of moving at a rate.
• 1:52:11
  So I was like, I was right out of nowhere.
• 1:52:13
  Hit one of those, you know I was.
• 1:52:15
  Like, oh, I thought that was a TikTok transition.
• 1:52:18
  Like I thought you had to just do that on the phone.
• 1:52:21
  That's that's the human drone. So I'm going to add my own thing
• 1:52:26
  here. You said the best way to cut
• 1:52:27
  just word of mouth type stuff. I'm going to say if you do find
• 1:52:31
  yourself at one of these events, the best thing you could do for
• 1:52:34
  future events is to talk to people.
• 1:52:35
  Yeah, yes, that's that's kind of that's all you have.
• 1:52:38
  To do is just talk to it because the more people you.
• 1:52:40
  Meet the more chances you'll meet someone who's going to go
• 1:52:43
  to the next one or you know what I mean.
• 1:52:45
  So, but that's, you know, that's the.
• 1:52:46
  Beauty of it yeah yeah come meet people, get their Instagrams
• 1:52:50
  yeah it it spreads like. I'll tell like, you know, like
• 1:52:53
  the guys and everything and then they'll tell people and then
• 1:52:55
  they tell people and it just spreads and like within like 3-4
• 1:52:58
  days there's a lot of Jersey people in here.
• 1:53:00
  Asking how they go to the meet. I'm just saying you might have
• 1:53:03
  to have a jersey once. Why don't you just come over the
• 1:53:07
  the water here? Like, yeah, right here.
• 1:53:09
  This is the purpose. Place I don't know if Carl.
• 1:53:12
  Told you, but we. Had a meet once and the town
• 1:53:15
  doesn't. We can definitely help you set
• 1:53:16
  it. Up.
• 1:53:16
  Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:53:18
  Maybe we'll send you guys down the video.
• 1:53:20
  If, if maybe we'll. Talk to the town.
• 1:53:22
  We'll figure it out. The person or not the.
• 1:53:24
  Person you got to. Deal with here.
• 1:53:25
  It's a noise complaint. Doesn't.
• 1:53:26
  Sound like she wants to have these.
• 1:53:27
  Kind of events. So that's the problem.
• 1:53:30
  I mean, she's like the queen of the town, so, you know, but she
• 1:53:34
  likes me, so that's good. It's a good first step.
• 1:53:36
  She's got a. Position at Yeah, in a way
• 1:53:39
  where, I mean, you know, our meat was a little crazy.
• 1:53:43
  Too, I mean, we were like doing tattoos in here.
• 1:53:45
  Yeah. It's like it wasn't.
• 1:53:47
  Yeah, it was, it was a little. Probably shouldn't have been
• 1:53:50
  doing half of that shit. But if if you're really serious.
• 1:53:52
  And you want to have something like that again, hit us up.
• 1:53:55
  We can definitely help you. Yeah, maybe we can do a.
• 1:53:58
  Yeah, you know what? We could do a more.
• 1:53:59
  Team one, we could do a more, we could do a more Team one.
• 1:54:01
  Have you guys had one in Jersey yet?

• 1:54:36
  all just driving. We met up at one place.
• 1:54:39
  If we do do one, we it's. Got to be on the river so we
• 1:54:41
  could see New York City, maybe Jersey City or something and
• 1:54:44
  then like. I mean, like we've never done a
• 1:54:47
  like an official like event or anything out here, but we've
• 1:54:50
  always come out for certain things anytime of like events at
• 1:54:56

  Only one that, but it worked. Pretty well.
• 1:55:33
  Fuck. But no, I'm.
• 1:55:35

  This one, I don't know what he's trying to say, but basically
• 1:55:56
  he's trying to say. Does the mark 4 being so.
• 1:56:00
  Expensive affect. It's does Does it make it a
• 1:56:04
  headache to be a drift car? Yes.
• 1:56:06
  Yes. Oh yeah, What?
• 1:56:08
  Just get us or I think. That's what he's saying.
• 1:56:10
  I'm not sure it's the same thing.
• 1:56:13
  But yeah. It's that car is yeah, yeah, you
• 1:56:15
  can't drift like why? Why would you want?
• 1:56:17
  To you crash but your drift. Car.
• 1:56:19
  Yeah, shout out to Rad. Dan for.
• 1:56:20
  You know, yeah, Rad Dan. Mike Perez still has Mike Perez,
• 1:56:24
  but that thing's kind. Of shredded by now, right It's.
• 1:56:28
  Like it's it's. AI.
• 1:56:29
  Would I would love. To I would love to know how much
• 1:56:33
  Dan spends on rebuilding his super every every season because
• 1:56:36
  that guy's not cheap. I can tell.
• 1:56:38
  I don't think so dude. I don't.
• 1:56:39
  Know, but once, once it's past a certain point, it's like all
• 1:56:42
  custom at that. Point.
• 1:56:43
  Yeah, yeah, you're just doing. You kind of have.
• 1:56:45
  To drive this car, now you're. Just you have no.
• 1:56:48
  Choice. This is it.
• 1:56:51
  How exciting are you guys? How excited are you guys for the
• 1:56:54
  future? Do you see this changing the car
• 1:56:56
  scene? I don't know, maybe I guess he
• 1:56:58
  means your your events. I don't know about changing the
• 1:57:03
  car scene. That was never our goal.
• 1:57:05
  Yeah, like we're not out to change the scene or anything.
• 1:57:10
  That was never our agenda. Like it still isn't our agenda.
• 1:57:13
  I would like to see. This happen around the country
• 1:57:17
  where people you know from everywhere meet up with their
• 1:57:20
  local friends and car friends and just spread it.
• 1:57:24
  Like it doesn't have to be just here.
• 1:57:26
  Like you can just go and make your own.
• 1:57:28
  If you're in Florida, hit up your friends.
• 1:57:31
  You know, like, spread it throughout the whole country.
• 1:57:34
  That would be sick. Yeah, I feel like it was more
• 1:57:35
  common. Do you think that's why you
• 1:57:37
  started it kind of because it kind of died off?
• 1:57:39
  Yeah. You know that's.
• 1:57:41
  What? That's where we're going, where
• 1:57:43
  I was going before with that whole life yeah no cool cars in
• 1:57:46
  like the early 2000s and kind of killed off the scene a bit cuz
• 1:57:49
  it's like what do you bring out now?
• 1:57:51
  See, that's when we got into. Drifting so I don't.
• 1:57:54
  I never knew the scene to be. Fell off, yeah.
• 1:57:57
  Cuz I was out of it, so I was just involved.
• 1:57:59
  That's what I was going to make. Sure that I harped on too.
• 1:58:02
  There was there was a period of time where like it crossed over
• 1:58:06
  for me like like I met some of my best friends at a car meet.
• 1:58:10
  But then like we found out what drifting was, which is this
• 1:58:14
  thing, and we just never went back but.
• 1:58:15
  I'm making you think that they kind of stopped at the same
• 1:58:17
  time. No, it was like.
• 1:58:20
  When? We stopped going to the.
• 1:58:22
  Car meets and stuff like that, that it was one or the other,
• 1:58:25
  you know what I mean? A Friday night drift party.
• 1:58:27
  I'm going to Friday night drift party.
• 1:58:29
  And then I'm after, after that I'm going to go home.
• 1:58:31
  And then after I go home, I'm going to fix my car now.
• 1:58:33
  Yeah, yeah. When I was supposed to be going,
• 1:58:34
  hanging out at the meats and stuff and having fun.
• 1:58:36
  I'm working on my car because of the drifting thing, so that it
• 1:58:40
  like veered the two away. I haven't been to a car meet
• 1:58:45
  unless it was the one that we had or whatever.
• 1:58:48
  We always. Talk about doing car.
• 1:58:49
  Meets and going to car meets because it's a cool idea, but
• 1:58:51
  then we never fucking follow through.
• 1:58:52
  But some of them we have. I feel like we all just.
• 1:58:55
  Think since our cars are they're.
• 1:58:58
  They're pretty smoked. Like at least of what we think,
• 1:59:01
  but that's like that makes it. Better, I know, but so many of
• 1:59:03
  us. Think in such a way where we're
• 1:59:04
  like, why would we want to bring it and bring this?
• 1:59:07
  Because it's the stories, right? It's like having battle scars on
• 1:59:10
  you and then being like, yo, where'd you get that from?
• 1:59:12
  Like what was that from? Like what's that?
• 1:59:13
  Tattoos if you have tattoos. I think it's fine for a car
• 1:59:16
  meme. Car show, that's what that's
• 1:59:18
  when we're like, that's when we're like that I get that, I
• 1:59:21
  get. But then.
• 1:59:21
  But then it turns out I remember.
• 1:59:22
  We, we were gonna like, I don't know what event that was.
• 1:59:25
  What was that one that used to do with the airport in Jersey?
• 1:59:27
  First class fitment. First class fitment I think
• 1:59:30
  maybe? Yeah, not Panda Fest, we've
• 1:59:31
  done, we've done one of those, but when it was first class fit
• 1:59:34
  the one when it was really hard to.
• 1:59:35
  Get into Yeah, we it was right after.
• 1:59:37
  Final bout and they're like and we're like let's enter our cars
• 1:59:41
  into this but we're going to enter them now when they're nice
• 1:59:44
  and then we're going to go final bout in a week and we're going
• 1:59:47
  to bring them and. They're going to be fucked.
• 1:59:48
  Up and it's going to be funny and we're like, yeah, it's going
• 1:59:50
  to be funny and then like they saw the cars and they're like
• 1:59:53
  yo, it's way sicker that they're all broken and we're like fuck.
• 1:59:57
  What the fuck? So it turned out like it was.
• 1:59:59
  Actually cooler, I guess, but we we thought it was going to be
• 2:00:01
  funny because it was like you, you know, you had to like the
• 2:00:05
  cars. Had to be perfect.
• 2:00:06
  When they went to that event, it was weird, it all adds.
• 2:00:09
  Authenticity, yeah. And, and that's what that's
• 2:00:12
  cool. Like it's cool to be real,
• 2:00:14
  right? It's not cool to be fake.
• 2:00:15
  So it's like. And it was also kind of a weird.
• 2:00:18
  Time where it was like it seemed like drifting was getting more
• 2:00:20
  popular and other scenes. So it kind of worked out
• 2:00:23
  perfectly. But yeah, usually they're like
• 2:00:26
  beat up. It's the beauty of it I
• 2:00:28
  remember. One meet we had in Queens, he
• 2:00:33
  had just bought the car off marketplace right before the
• 2:00:36
  meet. He drove into the meet.
• 2:00:39
  His fan went no, his whole. Intercooler.
• 2:00:42
  Exploded at the meet. Off of the car.
• 2:00:46
  Yeah. It was.
• 2:00:48
  It was a BMW. I forget what the BMW was.
• 2:00:51
  Oh, I did the radiator. That went yeah, and he drove.
• 2:00:55
  No. And then we we had to push.
• 2:00:56
  It yeah, we had to push it into the spot and then we had to.
• 2:00:58
  Wait. Oh my God, we tried to fix it.
• 2:01:01
  There was, you know, there, you know, it needs a mechanic 'cause
• 2:01:04
  people actually do work. At the maintenance stuff too,
• 2:01:07
  it's like people are working on their cars at the guy Jack and
• 2:01:10
  everything about the. Knicks swap.
• 2:01:11
  It out the. The game.
• 2:01:13
  We watched the game at China. Oh, and then I mean.
• 2:01:16
  Like I, I really the basketball. So like when we were in the, the
• 2:01:19
  Knicks were in the playoffs last year, one of the meets happened
• 2:01:22
  during one of the playoffs games.
• 2:01:24
  So I had to, I had to bring a TV.
• 2:01:26
  Well. I projected it onto.
• 2:01:27
  The side. Yeah, yeah. 30-40 Yeah, I.
• 2:01:32
  Mean I I had. That point, at that point it.
• 2:01:34
  Became not about the cars. Like there was 40 people
• 2:01:37
  watching. We were just like.
• 2:01:38
  Showing. Watching like, yeah, we were
• 2:01:40
  like watching the game. We.
• 2:01:42
  Forgot about. The.
• 2:01:43
  Car on the background. But we forgot about the cars,
• 2:01:45
  yeah. Right there, that's the kind of.
• 2:01:46
  Shit that people tweet and put on Instagram and go I love my
• 2:01:49
  city, I was. Like, yeah, I was like, I'm not.
• 2:01:52

• 2:08:54
  crave case. Full crave case.
• 2:08:56
  Done, Ashley. That was our spot after.
• 2:09:00
  Our meet 'cause there was one right next to what the next
• 2:09:02
  watch is, Yeah. And everything.
• 2:09:04
  They're always open line, like always.
• 2:09:05
  Openly. They hate us though 'cause we
• 2:09:07
  were coming. After the meet and it would be
• 2:09:09
  dead. Like it would be like. 2:00 AM
• 2:09:11
  One AM Dead. Like, like they're like sleeping
• 2:09:14
  in the back. Fifty of us coming.
• 2:09:16
  Like coming orders at like 2:00 AM, just like, yeah, it's not
• 2:09:20
  like going to a mom and. Pop restaurant or something.
• 2:09:22
  We were like, they, they're like, we don't want to fucking
• 2:09:24
  be here, bro. It's like.
• 2:09:26
  The, the, the, the, the parking space was like the size of a
• 2:09:28
  bank space. It was not that big.
• 2:09:31
  And it was like, we would pack 40 cards in there.
• 2:09:33
  Like fuck does everybody go eat, you know, and come back outside.
• 2:09:36
  It was a thing. It's a thing our.
• 2:09:39
  Takeovers. The death of car meets.
• 2:09:46
  Maybe. Takeovers are not car.
• 2:09:48
  Meets, yeah, I mean like. It's true.
• 2:09:52
  Car meets are. Not takeovers, I feel.
• 2:09:53
  Like there's a progression. It's it's like who are the?
• 2:09:58
  People that go to. These takeovers, why are they
• 2:10:00
  there? Is it because they haven't
• 2:10:02
  experienced something else better yet?
• 2:10:04
  Are they there because they're just getting into the car?
• 2:10:07
  They were never, I never thought.
• 2:10:08
  About it like that. And Instagram people just want.
• 2:10:13
  Attention. Yep.
• 2:10:14
  Yeah, I I get the attention. I get the attention thing right,
• 2:10:17
  but it's like you could do that at any meet.
• 2:10:20
  It doesn't. It's just no, but they want to
• 2:10:22
  I. Know well.
• 2:10:23
  They want to be. Swinging.
• 2:10:24
  No. Or whatever they call it.
• 2:10:26
  We're we're. Yeah, we did take over start
• 2:10:28
  where where it did start in. California, technically, yeah.
• 2:10:32
  We had a podcast. With an organization called
• 2:10:35
  Black Dudes Drift, and we talked to Lexus King and Jamili.
• 2:10:39
  Yeah, and they real. Name Jamar.
• 2:10:41
  Jamar. Jamar, Yeah.
• 2:10:42
  And they're from, well, Jamar the Bay was from.
• 2:10:45
  Yeah, Jamar is not from the Bay. Yeah, around there.
• 2:10:48
  But Lexus was oh, OK. But.
• 2:10:51
  Yeah, recently from Oakland. It's like the area, I'm not
• 2:10:54
  going to remember all of that. But the, the point of the IT
• 2:10:56
  wasn't that area. It wasn't a takeover.
• 2:10:58
  The whole thing was, I remember the, the scene that Lex Point
• 2:11:01
  painted for us. It was like, let's say you're at
• 2:11:04
  an intersection, there's a gas station right there.
• 2:11:07
  You're there with your homies. Everybody got a car.
• 2:11:09
  Every thank you. Everybody has I.
• 2:11:13
  Remember it too. Everybody might had the same
• 2:11:15
  pair of shoes on. Do you remember him?
• 2:11:18
  Explaining. This to us, everybody might have
• 2:11:20
  nothing like a takeover to me, but.
• 2:11:22
  I guess this is, but this is where it stemmed from.
• 2:11:24
  Everybody might have the same pair of shoes on.
• 2:11:26
  Everybody might have that one, that one thing that that
• 2:11:29
  matches, that brings the whole group together.
• 2:11:31
  Then another group goes on the other, like your corner, your
• 2:11:33
  crew. The other crew is on the other.
• 2:11:35
  Corner, there's there's some ladies over there.
• 2:11:37
  You want to show out. That's what the word is.
• 2:11:38
  Yeah. They kept saying you want to
• 2:11:39
  show out. So you you swing the car around
• 2:11:42
  a little bit. That's it.
• 2:11:43
  That wasn't what the the the whole violence aspect of Yeah,
• 2:11:47
  it wasn't like you hit me with it wasn't.
• 2:11:49
  That wasn't the. Point.
• 2:11:50
  The point was you wanted to just show out and show them what you
• 2:11:52
  have. So it was like break.
• 2:11:53
  It was like break. Dancing with your cars?
• 2:11:55
  Yes, kind of. That's exactly what I said
• 2:11:56
  you're. Like I get that it came from
• 2:11:57
  that. Era though all the.
• 2:11:58
  Other hobbies of that era. It was just about to show what
• 2:12:03
  you can do, you know what I mean?
• 2:12:05
  And then the takeover shit, you know the Donuts in their
• 2:12:09
  intersection? Yeah, I don't know how it
• 2:12:10
  evolved. Instagram Yeah, I.
• 2:12:12
  That's what I would say. Instagram somebody wanted to
• 2:12:14
  get. A crazier clip than the last
• 2:12:16
  guy, Yeah, or girl and. Then you just want.
• 2:12:18
  To hit someone with your Camaro or whatever or JZXI saw.
• 2:12:21
  JZX charger Charger's usually the.
• 2:12:23
  No, there's a JZ. X at a takeover the other day.
• 2:12:25
  That's a shame. I've seen skylines.
• 2:12:27
  Yeah, I commented on it. It just said part out part out
• 2:12:30
  part out part. I need that.
• 2:12:32
  I need the engine. I need the engine.
• 2:12:33
  I like the motor. I would always see like.
• 2:12:36
  A Charger or AG37, those are like cars and they'd just be
• 2:12:41
  knocking people out. I'm like, this is fun that these
• 2:12:43
  kids like just get terminal damage or everything like this
• 2:12:46
  now. LS4, Hundreds.
• 2:12:49
  GSDSISS. All day I think people are
• 2:12:52
  figuring it out, 'cause you. Get more people.
• 2:12:53
  Yeah, they're figuring. It out.
• 2:12:55
  They're figuring it out, dude. Imagine getting body by.
• 2:12:57
  Things like auto, they don't learn how to.
• 2:12:59
  Drive. They don't.
• 2:13:00
  They just do this. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:01
  And then fucking like pull up. Yeah.
• 2:13:06
  I don't know, I mean. I think takeovers are dying.
• 2:13:08
  Do you know how it? Seems like.
• 2:13:11
  Hopefully, hopefully. But do you know how?
• 2:13:12
  Stiff. The trunk is of the fucking LS4.
• 2:13:15
  Hundreds are built well. That would send.
• 2:13:18
  You these kids are dumb. Listen.
• 2:13:21
  I'm scared to close my GS300 trunk like it's anything wrapped
• 2:13:25
  because it would. It would literally take your
• 2:13:27
  hand off. Yeah, I forget.
• 2:13:29
  How heavy the? The actual hood and trunk of the
• 2:13:31
  LS is that thing is heavy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:34
  Toyotas are. Then kids are getting hit by
• 2:13:35
  them. Or, or when they get run over.
• 2:13:38
  Yeah, yeah. Did someone die in New York?
• 2:13:40
  City that, yeah. Or when their pants get.
• 2:13:42
  Like pulled off from the wheel because that's funny.
• 2:13:44
  I know it's that's that's. That's like the best part of
• 2:13:48
  those videos. And when they get stripped,
• 2:13:50
  yeah, it's like. Man, they got.
• 2:13:52
  Knocked them right out their clothes like it's.
• 2:13:55
  Finally got ran over, then your clothes.
• 2:13:57
  Like, yeah. It's funny.
• 2:13:58
  After one they stand up because I genuinely have no idea how
• 2:14:03
  they survive. Like right after adrenaline.
• 2:14:05
  That's the. Only way.
• 2:14:06
  Yeah, I said all the time. It's.
• 2:14:07
  Gonna hurt tomorrow. It's gonna hurt, yeah.
• 2:14:09
  Yeah, yeah. What's that adrenaline?
• 2:14:11
  Tomorrow. Off you're gonna feel.
• 2:14:12
  That tire mark going there right across your face.
• 2:14:14
  Yeah, but it does suck. For you guys, obviously, because
• 2:14:17
  they fucking ruin everything because they call that a me or a
• 2:14:19
  takeover meat or something. And it's like, OK, it's the same
• 2:14:22
  for us though. It fucks drifting up too,
• 2:14:24
  obviously, because then all the all the cops and everyone think
• 2:14:26
  that that's what that is. Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:14:28
  So I never thought about it like that.
• 2:14:30
  It actually fucks their shit up and it fucks our shit up bad.
• 2:14:33
  Like literally both of them. But I mean, that's why.
• 2:14:35
  We're trying to to work with like the entities that look at
• 2:14:39
  these things and say, oh, this is what means It's like, no, no,
• 2:14:42
  no, there we actually there's a differentiation like between US
• 2:14:45
  and like, whoa, like. Yeah, those are.
• 2:14:47
  Kind of just. Criminals, really.
• 2:14:48
  It's like there's a difference. Yeah.
• 2:14:50
  Yeah, we're adults. We're adults.
• 2:14:53
  Yeah, well, some of us. All right, so there's a word
• 2:14:59
  getting thrown around in here, gatekeeping.
• 2:15:04
  Are gatekeeping functions a good or bad thing?
• 2:15:06
  There was another one that said current car meat culture, how to
• 2:15:10
  gatekeep to protect the space. Like basically, I think people
• 2:15:15
  are trying to say like, is it good to do this?
• 2:15:18
  Should we be doing this? Is this how we I guess?
• 2:15:22
  Protect the culture and. Stuff, I guess I would ask these
• 2:15:24
  people. What is their definition of
• 2:15:25
  gatekeeping? Yeah, yeah.
• 2:15:27
  Right, because to me. Gatekeeping would be I'm just
• 2:15:30
  trying to protect my house. I'm going to close my gate.
• 2:15:33
  So I'm, you know, I'm going to. Protect my space.
• 2:15:35
  Well, you're going to have the party inside.
• 2:15:37
  Behind the gate? Absolutely, yeah.
• 2:15:38
  So it's like. Do people see what we do?
• 2:15:43
  As gatekeeping? I don't know.
• 2:15:45
  I don't really see. Anything like that in here?
• 2:15:46
  But I could be how you take some of these, but I don't, I don't
• 2:15:50
  know. I don't think any of the ones in
• 2:15:51
  here are saying that. But the way you said it before,
• 2:15:55
  it could be taken as accessible. Yeah, I mean.
• 2:15:57
  I feel like all our events are very accessible to people.
• 2:16:01
  If you want to be in the community, yeah.
• 2:16:03
  If you just, you got to put some.
• 2:16:04
  Work in? Yeah, you just have to put some.
• 2:16:05
  Work in right, but that also makes sure you actually want to
• 2:16:09
  be there. It's like almost the the reward
• 2:16:11
  at the end for like your effort. Some people would call that.
• 2:16:13
  Gatekeeping. But I think that's a good thing.
• 2:16:15
  I mean, but I'm. Not saying don't come, I'm not
• 2:16:18
  saying you're not invited. I I think for the most part.
• 2:16:22
  I don't do this as much now. Just because we get more
• 2:16:25
  messages than before. But I used to try to answer back
• 2:16:27
  everyone that would message me and say, hey, how do I come to
• 2:16:30
  these things? Yeah.
• 2:16:31
  And we even have a post on there now that it's like, how do I
• 2:16:35
  come to our events? Like, is that gatekeeping?
• 2:16:37
  We tell you how to come to our events?
• 2:16:39
  No, not really. It's like I.
• 2:16:41
  Don't think you know, I mean like we literally.
• 2:16:43
  Have a post like, oh, you want to come to our like private or
• 2:16:45
  like whatever events that don't get advertised, go to these
• 2:16:48
  businesses that we do advertise and just be there just like talk
• 2:16:52
  to them and then you find out the information.
• 2:16:53
  It's funny enough I had. One person ask me or tell me
• 2:16:57
  like I went to our last event was mogate tea.
• 2:17:00
  Actually, I haven't told you this.
• 2:17:01
  He the enemy. He was like, yo, I went there
• 2:17:03
  and I asked him when there's a guy's next event with that koku
• 2:17:06
  and I was like, that's crazy because I don't even know when
• 2:17:10
  our next event like we were. That was like our.
• 2:17:16
  That meet. Was our beginning of the year
• 2:17:19
  meet that we normally do at the end of the year, but got pushed
• 2:17:22
  because of like all the snow and the weather and stuff.
• 2:17:25
  So it just ended up happening in January versus December and
• 2:17:30
  usually in January and February we take like a break or
• 2:17:35
  whatever. Yeah, thank God.
• 2:17:36
  God. Forbid you take a a fucking
• 2:17:38
  breathe. But.
• 2:17:41
  But. It's crazy because it was. 22°
• 2:17:44
  outside and we had about people like where are the meat?
• 2:17:47
  75 like. You had about. 75 cars out
• 2:17:50
  there, they're going and people were still.
• 2:17:51
  Coming out like, I believe it. I believe it.
• 2:17:53
  Yeah, yeah. And then I had.
• 2:17:55
  There was a homie from Connecticut drove all the way
• 2:17:58
  down from Connecticut and he was like, I can't believe I'm
• 2:18:00
  driving this car in the salt right now.
• 2:18:01
  I was gonna say I look at the S2000.
• 2:18:03
  Outside, I'm like crying over here.
• 2:18:05
  These guys are all going to a meet.
• 2:18:06
  I'm like, yeah, that's. I did.
• 2:18:08
  I. Did I chose for the first time?
• 2:18:11
  Dude, my car hasn't touched the salt this year.
• 2:18:14
  Oh it didn't. It didn't know.
• 2:18:16
  Fuck no. That's the.
• 2:18:17
  Point you're trying. To buy?
• 2:18:18
  Hell no, because you have no idea.
• 2:18:20
  I've missed that shit so fucking much.
• 2:18:23
  Dude. That's my.
• 2:18:24
  Daily drive, I drive that every single day.
• 2:18:25
  Yeah, I drive it to work and back every single day, I think.
• 2:18:28
  New York City. Life is a little different
• 2:18:30
  because it's like you don't got a lot of space for cars.
• 2:18:32
  You have no choice. Yeah.
• 2:18:33
  Yeah, I I mean. I don't really have a lot.
• 2:18:35
  Of a choice, but like I have the truck, thankfully.
• 2:18:38
  Yeah, thankfully I have the the the mighty Sequoia.
• 2:18:44
  It's a good car it. Is a great car.
• 2:18:47
  Here we go the other day. 13. That's the tacos.
• 2:18:50
  That's 100. It's amazing.
• 2:18:51
  Best. Best fucking UZ in there too but
• 2:18:54
  like 2 you eat 1UZ2. Two but the.
• 2:18:57
  The whole thing is like, I don't know, the salt.
• 2:19:01
  You're just making it shittier for your future self.
• 2:19:04
  Yeah, absolutely, dude. Because like the.
• 2:19:06
  Bolts the the little ones. I'm not talking about like the
• 2:19:10
  coil over or the lug or any of that shit.
• 2:19:12
  I'm talking about like a random 10mm, the old guy underneath the
• 2:19:17
  car that you're just like, oh, this is going to take me 10
• 2:19:19
  minutes real. Yep, that's that's.
• 2:19:23
  The difference of you driving your car in the winter or like
• 2:19:26
  none, yeah, is 100%. And that is the worst fucking
• 2:19:31
  day you're going to have. You are going to hate me.
• 2:19:35
  I I drive that car, I've driven it.
• 2:19:37
  Look, no. You're gonna, you're gonna.
• 2:19:39
  Hate you. New York, NY.
• 2:19:41
  New York is not easy with salt. Like they would throw a whole
• 2:19:44
  bag bro in one corner. It's on a clock like.
• 2:19:48
  This. It's like a speedball.
• 2:19:52
  What? Absolutely.
• 2:19:54
  What like. But.
• 2:19:55
  I understand, 'cause dude, I drove the IS.
• 2:19:57
  I mean, they have as well. Like we'd go to chicken and rice
• 2:19:59
  and we'd see the big. Ass building with just salt in
• 2:20:01
  it. We don't have any more.
• 2:20:03
  Of that I guess. It's gone, but I drove the IS
• 2:20:06
  every day, like everywhere for a long time.
• 2:20:09
  Coming here before when we first started the pod.
• 2:20:12
  I like that it's. Just now I.
• 2:20:15
  Unfortunately need the car to last me a little longer so I
• 2:20:18
  can't. I got to stop doing that.
• 2:20:19
  Get ready when we start using Liquid.
• 2:20:21
  Salt. Oh no, the brine.
• 2:20:23
  Is that worse or it's worse? It's bad.
• 2:20:25
  It's. Bad, because now it comes.
• 2:20:26
  Wait, we see some of that around here.
• 2:20:27
  Though I think splashes a little.
• 2:20:29
  Bit but I think we still, I think it's still like you still
• 2:20:32
  use the rocks all but I think it's going to become like it's
• 2:20:34
  just liquid salt everywhere, yeah.
• 2:20:36
  That's hell. Yeah, I do not.
• 2:20:38
  I'm not a fan. Whatever.
• 2:20:40
  Keep trying to find some garages.
• 2:20:41
  So you can park these cars for the winter turbo.
• 2:20:45
  What is your real name? Is that loud?
• 2:20:50
  I've been calling you Turbo this whole day.
• 2:20:51
  So that's the question my real. Name is.
• 2:20:54

• 2:21:03
  Turbo. Answering your question.
• 2:21:06
  Wait, are you dead? Ass.
• 2:21:08
  That's that's his real name. That's my real name.
• 2:21:12
  Yeah. Oh, you were born for this.
• 2:21:13
  Shit, did you know that you were born for this shit, you know?
• 2:21:17
  Oh my God, dude, so. I I'll.
• 2:21:20
  Give you a little back story. I my 9:00 to 5:00.
• 2:21:22
  I am a high school Dean. I work at a high school in New
• 2:21:24
  York City. That's why you sound so.
• 2:21:27
  Fucking calm and responsible. What the fuck dude?
• 2:21:35
  So. So you deal with.
• 2:21:36
  Like children. But you know, that's why you're
• 2:21:38
  so good at dealing with the card.
• 2:21:39
  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, lots of children they.
• 2:21:44
  You know, kids, especially high school kids at, you know, the
• 2:21:46
  age of 16 through 19. Oh, nightmare.
• 2:21:48
  Never want to pronounce your Oh my God, hell no.
• 2:21:51
  You used to call your teacher. Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C Right.
• 2:21:54
  So no one could really pronounce my last name.
• 2:21:56
  So they just dropped the eye completely and it's like turbo,
• 2:21:59
  turbo, turbo, turbo, nervous. And it just stuck.
• 2:22:02
  Yeah. And you just happen to.
• 2:22:03
  Be the Dean that's in the fucking car.
• 2:22:04
  Yeah. That's.
• 2:22:05
  That's like, actually, yeah. And everyone knows like.
• 2:22:08
  From my principal down to like all the kids, they know the car.
• 2:22:11
  It's parked out front every day I drive it abroad.
• 2:22:13
  That is sick. You know, and it's like.
• 2:22:18
  That is awesome. Every day.
• 2:22:19
  Never. See, so amaze me, they see me
• 2:22:21
  walk to the car and be like, oh, that's the car.
• 2:22:23
  That's the terrible. That's great.
• 2:22:27
  I love that. Oh my gosh, that.
• 2:22:29
  Is actually wow. Stan, when can we?
• 2:22:32
  Expect a full pirate the dog livery on the MR2O.
• 2:22:36
  That's funny. That's that's, that's you.
• 2:22:40
  That's funny. That's funny.
• 2:22:43
  Who? The Hell's Pirate Pirates.
• 2:22:45
  He's like the mascot. Oh yeah, he's my dog.
• 2:22:48
  He's a sheep, a doodle. He's like, OK.
• 2:22:51
  Classic. He's big.
• 2:22:52
  He's a big. Dog.
• 2:22:54
  And like before, before me and my partner, I used to just come
• 2:22:59
  out with Pirate all the time and, and, and AW.
• 2:23:02
  So it's two seater cars. So he would have one seat and
• 2:23:04
  I'd have the other a little. AW11 with a big dog just in the
• 2:23:10
  passenger seat fills up the full seat everything so.
• 2:23:13
  So now what do you? Do.
• 2:23:18
  Great questions. Dan.
• 2:23:19
  That would be. 4. Daughter both staying at.
• 2:23:22
  Home. 4 door. This is the real reason he got
• 2:23:26
  the. Fit well, so I have a Honda Fit.
• 2:23:29
  Has the magic seats. I have a yeah.
• 2:23:33
  That's what it's called, so. I have the Honda Fit.
• 2:23:35
  And that's what I'll use at times to bring both.
• 2:23:39
  I mean like as as he gets older now like.
• 2:23:42
  He doesn't handle the noise. As well, like when cars are
• 2:23:45
  coming in they're a bit loud and stuff like that.
• 2:23:48
  So like I try to bring him out or at least my partner will
• 2:23:53
  she'll like so I'll still take the my MR2 out and then she'll
• 2:23:57
  come in the fit later with like the dog now usually towards the
• 2:24:01
  end when. There's yeah when like the
• 2:24:02
  sound. Has like kind of like quiet
• 2:24:04
  down, so he's not like kind of agitated by all the noise and
• 2:24:08
  stuff. The sweetest dog you ever meet?
• 2:24:10
  Everyone knows pirate. That's amazing.
• 2:24:13
  Not your delivery, the fact. I think it's funny that you said
• 2:24:16
  imagine because a buddy of mine of my old roommate, his dad was
• 2:24:21
  a master tech at Toyota. He has at AW11.
• 2:24:23
  They used to have a milk. Do you know what dog that was
• 2:24:28
  the big one. I don't even know who you're.
• 2:24:31
  Talking Cooper the Big. He like fought you.
• 2:24:36
  Guys dog but he was a big dog like a pony socks big so.
• 2:24:41
  Same. Pirate.
• 2:24:42
  Pirate is big, he big. He sat in there.
• 2:24:44
  At AW11 as well and and he just takes up the.
• 2:24:46
  Whole thing so like we've done it where it's me, it's Veronica,
• 2:24:50
  my partner and pirate Aldagan AW and.
• 2:24:54
  She will. Try to like hold him in.
• 2:24:57
  His lap and it's just like, no, it's ridiculous.
• 2:25:00
  Like. There there are pictures
• 2:25:02
  somewhere where it's like she's sitting there with him, but all
• 2:25:05
  you see is his head. Like you see nothing else but
• 2:25:07
  like him and the like me driving.
• 2:25:10
  That's I mean. You got a kid and that's
• 2:25:12
  basically, but he's bigger. Yeah.
• 2:25:15
  Basically last. Question would.
• 2:25:17
  Be Do you think it would be possible to organize a legal
• 2:25:20
  drift event in New York City one day?
• 2:25:23
  I've been. Working on that for years.
• 2:25:26
  Yeah, I'm sure you have. Yeah, I've been working on that.
• 2:25:29
  For a couple years now and it's I'm still working on that.
• 2:25:32
  You got to find a big ass parking.
• 2:25:33
  Lot and pay a lot of money so. The way that I've been.
• 2:25:38
  Thinking about it and and trying to put into motion is it needs
• 2:25:43
  to be done like like auto cross, Yeah.
• 2:25:47
  OK. It needs to be done like auto.
• 2:25:50
  Cross so SCCA they've held events inside New York City
• 2:25:55
  where at Shea Stadium or. Whatever, Shea Stadium.
• 2:25:59
  Wait. Well.
• 2:26:00
  Met or whatever, Like yeah, city, field city.
• 2:26:01
  Field at all. So City Field.
• 2:26:04
  Definitely something's been done there.
• 2:26:08
  Technically, not New York City. Jones Beach, like by Jones
• 2:26:12
  Beach. Things have been done there.
• 2:26:14
  The Coliseum over in Nassau, Nassau Coliseum, they've held
• 2:26:18
  there. Oh yeah, a Porsche.
• 2:26:19
  Club of America does that over there so.
• 2:26:23
  There are like places. In New York.
• 2:26:26
  City where I think it's possible.
• 2:26:29
  I'm not going to name them now, but like good call that was he
• 2:26:34
  made me. Pretty smart is that?
• 2:26:36
  Gatekeeping. No, not only only because it's.
• 2:26:41
  In the progress and if we can get the permits for it and get
• 2:26:43
  everything, it's an insurance, it's the insurance.
• 2:26:46
  Flushing. Meadow Park we used to drift.
• 2:26:47
  Over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
• 2:26:49
  Don't know good thing or. Not you probably remember.
• 2:26:51
  Yeah, Frank, actually. Frank was talking about that
• 2:26:53
  other day. Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:26:55
  So. There there for sure.
• 2:26:58
  Are places like City Field where there's stadium type parking?
• 2:27:03
  Yeah, that's what we see where we would be able to do that
• 2:27:05
  because we don't need that much space, especially for like a
• 2:27:09
  grassroots event too, right. So it's maybe like I wouldn't
• 2:27:12
  even want to do a. Grassroots event I want to do
• 2:27:14
  like a drift demo slash car meet like that shit I mean I I've.
• 2:27:18
  Got it. I've I've talked to.
• 2:27:21
  Insurance companies. About what that would cost for
• 2:27:23
  us to do and how we can possibly get it done.
• 2:27:27
  Still working on it like let us. Know you never get that I'll get
• 2:27:30
  that done let. Us still work, dude.
• 2:27:32
  Yeah, we'll worry about the drifting.
• 2:27:34
  Part, yeah, I mean, even even. I was even thinking like Staten
• 2:27:38
  Island. Yeah, I mean, that would be the
• 2:27:39
  place. Yeah, like French and then.
• 2:27:42
  Like. I'd love to like French Go go no
• 2:27:44
  matter where it is in. The city, but yeah, and and
• 2:27:46
  it's. Their territory.
• 2:27:47
  I'd love to work with them and make it where like it's, it's
• 2:27:50
  doable, like it's something in our backyard where there's
• 2:27:53
  definitely spaces in New York City that could be feasible.
• 2:27:57
  For this to. Be done but it's like can we get
• 2:28:00
  the permits can we get like the right people behind those can we
• 2:28:03
  get the the money but like the necessary funding too right
• 2:28:07
  because like. All the things we do.
• 2:28:09
  Is fund from our own pockets. Like we get no fucking support
• 2:28:13
  from like any financial thing. Like we don't sell merch.
• 2:28:17
  We don't. Which you guys probably should,
• 2:28:19
  yeah. We, we, we.
• 2:28:20
  We have. But it goes right back to that
• 2:28:21
  Coco. Yeah, I mean like.
• 2:28:23
  Basically like we don't even charge enough for the merch that
• 2:28:26
  we sell. Basically whatever it costs us
• 2:28:28
  to make the merch, it just almost covers that.
• 2:28:31
  Like we, like, lose money. On like our merch, like we we
• 2:28:34
  just but. It's.
• 2:28:35
  Definitely. I mean, I know you don't want to
• 2:28:37
  do anything for profit it's but you should do something to at
• 2:28:40
  least we're trying. Well, we're.
• 2:28:42
  So we're trying, we're we. So that's why we went non
• 2:28:46
  profit. It was so we could offer tax
• 2:28:49
  write offs to larger sponsors and businesses that would want
• 2:28:53
  to come in and try to help us out and stuff that makes sense
• 2:28:55
  we don't want to take. From like, we don't.
• 2:28:57
  Want to eat off like the small plate?
• 2:28:58
  That's like, not our goal. If anything, we want to try to,
• 2:29:01
  like, feed other people. Yeah.
• 2:29:03
  So the only place that at least I can see where like, hey, maybe
• 2:29:07
  they got some extra funding for us or stuff.
• 2:29:09
  It's like these larger businesses and brands and stuff
• 2:29:11
  that they have money to put out for marketing for charities and
• 2:29:17
  stuff like that. Why not?
• 2:29:18
  Why not got to convince them, yeah?
• 2:29:20
  Dude, that's an easy convince. I feel like you got any time you
• 2:29:23
  guys decide to do that, whatever we're trying right now, the
• 2:29:26
  hard. Part is going to be the.
• 2:29:28
  Brand like. I don't really know a lot.
• 2:29:32
  About brands that are local to us here.
• 2:29:35
  I would just fucking shoot it over to turn 14.
• 2:29:37
  Fuck it. To sponsor.
• 2:29:40
  It. Yeah, I mean.
• 2:29:41
  Yeah, I mean. It's like eventually we'd love
• 2:29:45
  to have like basically a community centre where people
• 2:29:49
  can come and do DIY work and like maybe we have workshops
• 2:29:53
  there for people to like learn from other people, like just
• 2:29:55
  like stuff to help support the community.
• 2:29:58
  That's not exactly like, oh, this is where we have meats.
• 2:30:00
  This is like the supplement to like the meats and stuff like
• 2:30:03
  that. And I think having a physical
• 2:30:05
  space is going to give us that ability to get the sponsorships
• 2:30:08
  or get like the necessary funding we need from brands to
• 2:30:11
  kind of push this to another level that we can't get with our
• 2:30:15
  own. Like we all work 9:00 to 5:00.
• 2:30:16
  So like we're, we're not, you know, we're barely, but you got
• 2:30:19
  some big plans for this. It sounds like absolutely, yeah.
• 2:30:22
  And I. Think 2026 is the biggest here.
• 2:30:24
  Frank, I have a question and I'm think I'm going to start a
• 2:30:26
  battle here. Oh, but no.
• 2:30:28
  RBOSR. RB or Sr.
• 2:30:31
  For me it's easy. It's Sr.
• 2:30:33
  Carl, we're not ARB. Place.
• 2:30:35
  It's all. S chat you have.
• 2:30:38
  Why would you ask them? There's nothing about S chat.
• 2:30:40
  There might be a little. Undertone there you should.
• 2:30:43
  Have I like the sound of RB? It sounds good.
• 2:30:46
  It's a good question for Carl. Because he doesn't like either
• 2:30:48
  one of them. Yeah, I had ARB.
• 2:30:50
  And I had ASR, but the RBI had was a piece of shit and the Sri
• 2:30:53
  had was really good. So it's like.
• 2:30:55
  Balancing out the RB. Just sounded.
• 2:30:57
  Awesome. That's why I wanted I.
• 2:31:00
  Like the inline. 6 turbo sound got the one J cuz it's to me the
• 2:31:06
  top. I got, I got.
• 2:31:08
  We'll pick. The RB over at one J though, I

• 2:32:22
  Luxury export. Luxury export in US.
• 2:32:24
  That's ridiculous. Get right.
• 2:32:27
  Frank. What are you on?
• 2:32:29
  Sr. Senior 20 I actually did find
• 2:32:31
  out some. Some history with the Nissan
• 2:32:33
  name today, thanks to Jay Leno. He might be wrong.
• 2:32:36
  Let me get that out first, I mean.
• 2:32:38
  That's a good one. Jay's like the.
• 2:32:40
  Encyclopedia part What is What is Jay?
• 2:32:43
  Said. OK, I think they said they
• 2:32:46
  didn't want to bring the Nissan name here.
• 2:32:48
  Apparently Nissan was actually Nissan when Dotson was Dotson
• 2:32:52
  here. That's the first thing.
• 2:32:53
  I didn't know that. Yeah, me.
• 2:32:54
  Either so. That might be wrong, but that's
• 2:32:56
  what he said. And they called it Dotson
• 2:32:59
  because they they thought it was easier to pronounce than Nissan.
• 2:33:02
  They thought Nissan might be like hard to pronounce or
• 2:33:04
  something. I'm like, I don't know.
• 2:33:06
  Well, is it is. It Nissan or is it Nissan?
• 2:33:08
  Yeah, that's. The other thing I don't I don't
• 2:33:10
  know is it radiator or radiator? I say radiator.
• 2:33:14
  But yeah, it is a radiator. Who the fuck says?
• 2:33:16
  Radiator. I've heard it.
• 2:33:18
  I've heard it. It's definitely like a like a
• 2:33:20
  Australia. I don't even start on that.
• 2:33:22
  I can't take. That radiate.
• 2:33:24
  Off. 350Z No, but yeah, I. Was like what I thought it was
• 2:33:34
  Dotson and it turned into Nissan but now I'm hearing that that
• 2:33:37
  wasn't the case It was like it was Dotson in the US and then
• 2:33:40
  they were like all right, y'all are mature enough we'll go on
• 2:33:43
  Nissan now. I didn't even know that I.
• 2:33:46
  Thought it might be a complete lie, yeah.
• 2:33:48
  I thought it was 'cause they were like.
• 2:33:49
  Yo, that's and then. Before that it was.
• 2:33:52
  The meme with the sun. And it's like that Sun he's.

• 2:35:56
  Yeah, I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying
• 2:35:59
  because your things. Very smooth.
• 2:36:00
  Like there's not a lot of force. Fuck no.
• 2:36:02
  What? I'm in the car my.
• 2:36:03
  Neck is hurting. Out of control?
• 2:36:05
  No, but we're gonna put it is. Smooth.
• 2:36:07
  It's only on. Transitions where you feel

  that's the best one of the. Favorite parts is like a
• 2:36:12
  transition or the the like. Yeah, it's only on the.
• 2:36:14
  Transitions where you it's a different kind of, it's a.
• 2:36:17
  Different kind of fun, yeah. It's a you would enjoy.
• 2:36:19
  That thing. So we go to our.
• 2:36:21
  Buddy's Place shift Club in in Brooklyn, which full motion rigs
• 2:36:26
  yeah, and. And it gives well.
• 2:36:28
  You're not going. To get any.
• 2:36:29
  Oh, you're going to hate you. I feel like that would turn her
• 2:36:32
  off of that, yeah, she'd be like, this shit is back because
• 2:36:36
  because I I like the motion rig. I think it's sick.
• 2:36:39
  My buddy has one with like the shocks and shit.
• 2:36:42
  It's way too much money, I know. But I.
• 2:36:45
  Mean like. It's, it's a good investment for
• 2:36:47
  seat time, right? It is, It really is.
• 2:36:48
  You wanna buy another car? Yeah, Frankie's well, I mean
• 2:36:51
  you. Don't need to go to.
• 2:36:52
  That extent of life, yeah, most you can just go basic, yeah, you
• 2:36:55
  can go Carl method. Where he's got like the Amazon
• 2:36:57
  shifter. That's all you need though,
• 2:36:58
  because you're. Just getting muscle memory
• 2:37:00
  doesn't matter. That's how it's muscle memory.
• 2:37:02
  Everything. It's just.
• 2:37:03
  Like, don't we don't have to, like, kill ourselves over this
• 2:37:06
  shit. It's pretty fun.
• 2:37:07
  Yeah. Like if we just keep it fun,
• 2:37:10
  then at least we could keep enjoying it.
• 2:37:12
  I think that's another debate. Like does SIM, I'm starting a
• 2:37:15
  debate, right? No, no, no.
• 2:37:15
  No. But something to think about
• 2:37:18
  people out there, no SIM drivers, do I?
• 2:37:19
  I started SIM driving and then I started drifting.
• 2:37:22
  Oh, it's definitely. Way easier.
• 2:37:24
  When you SIM does it you can tell.
• 2:37:26
  Do you think it translates? Absolutely, I learned.
• 2:37:29
  Absolutely, yeah, you can tell. No.
• 2:37:31
  No debate guys. No debate, Yeah.
• 2:37:34
  That's like the number one easiest way to get in it.
• 2:37:35
  Yeah, but let's close this out before Malcolm hurts himself.
• 2:37:39
  Thank you guys so much for coming.
• 2:37:40
  Absolutely. The shit with us for hours.
• 2:37:42
  Like, yeah, we'll be. Talking in the future, we'll
• 2:37:45
  figure some stuff. Yeah, let's, let's.
• 2:37:46
  Do it. Let's do it.
• 2:37:47

• 2:38:56
  when we. Met him, Me and Malcolm were in
• 2:38:58
  the other room. We heard his name.
• 2:38:59
  We were like Turbo. What do you think?
• 2:39:02
  I guess I was like, this is like Fast and Furious.
• 2:39:04
  These guys got car names. Like, I was like, is this real?
• 2:39:06
  I was like, there's no way to turbo.
• 2:39:08
  Yeah, just call me Turbo. So you saw his?
• 2:39:10
  You actually. Looked at his ID, it's like I
• 2:39:13
  turbo. E Turbo.
• 2:39:16
  Yeah. Something like TUR?
• 2:39:18
  Yes, that's crazy. That's a cool last name.
• 2:39:20
  Yeah. It's definitely pretty unique
• 2:39:24

  Your name's Turbo. Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:39:27
  And you like Jay-Z? 'S so this way, yeah, blood

  I'm glad you guys got to listen to that.
• 2:39:43
  I hope you enjoyed it like we did it.
• 2:39:45
  We learned a lot. I still don't understand how
• 2:39:48
  they are able to run these meets in the middle of the crazy
• 2:39:52
  streets in New York City. Yeah, they put in the.
• 2:39:54
  Time and effort and research, talking to the the city it's
• 2:39:58
  yeah, it's a lot of work it it may look like a impromptu thing,
• 2:40:02
  but yeah, it's a lot of work and to make.
• 2:40:03
  It look impromptu. Wow.
• 2:40:05
  Yeah. Like, that's the art of it.
• 2:40:07
  Kind of. Yeah.
• 2:40:08
  Because you're doing all this work, but you want it to feel
• 2:40:11
  organic. And they do.
• 2:40:12
  So, you know, if you guys are in New York City, hey, check out
• 2:40:16
  their Instagram. At bare minimum, check out their
• 2:40:18
  Instagram. They don't seem to post every
• 2:40:21
  meet they do on there. But you got to go out to them.
• 2:40:24
  You got to meet people, you got to, you know, Yeah.
• 2:40:26
  And hopefully in the near. Future we can maybe link up with
• 2:40:29
  them and work something out. Maybe we have a little
• 2:40:31
  collaboration meeting. Yeah, the After podcast.
• 2:40:33
  Conversation was pretty good talking about we have some ideas
• 2:40:35
  cooking right now so hopefully we're able to bring some New
• 2:40:39
  York City vibes over the Hudson River a little bit and you know,
• 2:40:43
  they were considering it so. All right.
• 2:40:48
  It is the end of January, so that means our raffle is coming
• 2:40:51
  to an end. Our Origin Labo body kit raffle
• 2:40:54

• 2:40:57
  Guys, I would highly suggest entering this raffle.
• 2:41:00
  If there's one raffle I'm going to suggest this year, I.
• 2:41:04
  Don't know if it's going to be this one but.
• 2:41:07
  Hey, we don't know what's. In store, I know, that's why I'm
• 2:41:08
  hesitant to. Say it, but I would say that
• 2:41:10
  this is, if not number one, it's #2 best raffle of the year that
• 2:41:14
  we do. So I would definitely just throw
• 2:41:17
  at least a $5 order in there. Whatever you can do.
• 2:41:20
  At least if you get at least $5 in there, you get one entry.
• 2:41:23
  You could literally take care of your body care for the whole
• 2:41:25
  drift season. And it's January like it is the
• 2:41:28
  best time to do this. So check that out.
• 2:41:31

  But right now specifically, it's winter, so that's kind of the
• 2:45:12
  only place you can go to right now as far as drifting on
• 2:45:14
  tracks. I mean, if you want to go get
• 2:45:16
  arrested, you can go do it on the street somewhere, I guess,
• 2:45:18
  right? But yeah, we don't do that here.
• 2:45:19
  Well, we probably do, but Chris doesn't.

  ballot. Time I assume.
• 2:47:49
  Okay, so we gotta add that to the.
• 2:47:50
  List too, Yeah, and let's not forget AG one.
• 2:47:53
  How can you forget when you only have?
• 2:47:54
  To take one scoop a day, that's dude, that's.
• 2:47:57
  Good. That's right.
• 2:47:58
  You're right. One scoop a day in eight to 10
• 2:48:00
  ounces of cold water and you're good to go.
• 2:48:03
  Daily immune support, right? First thing in the morning.
• 2:48:06
  Boom. Done.
• 2:48:08
  Yeah. Dude, that one scoop sets you up
• 2:48:10
  for the rest of the day. Get your mental all in, check
• 2:48:13
  your body, it does you. It does help internally.
• 2:48:18
  They definitely. Don't want me to say this, but
• 2:48:20
  we're going to bank on them not listening to this.
• 2:48:23
  I'm going to go on my personal experience that shit.
• 2:48:26
  Is like a fucking. Meal suppressant.
• 2:48:28
  I know that's not what it is, but you remember how I would do
• 2:48:31
  my exercises in the morning and then I would have a protein
• 2:48:35
  shake. If I take AG1 and then I do my
• 2:48:39
  exercises, I'm not even fucking hungry.
• 2:48:42
  Very weird like and I'm like how is this even?
• 2:48:45
  I don't know what it is, but if you guys are trying to lose
• 2:48:49
  weight and stuff, I mean, it might be a benefit to you.
• 2:48:51
  I'm just saying this is not what AG one is for, but it's just it
• 2:48:55
  kind of helps, you know what I mean?
• 2:48:56
  Like it's just it, it makes you also it makes you feel like
• 2:49:00
  you're doing the right thing in the morning.
• 2:49:01
  So I was like, maybe I shouldn't eat four eggs and some toast.
• 2:49:05
  Maybe I don't. Maybe I don't need the stack of
• 2:49:07
  pancakes. Yeah.
• 2:49:08
  Right like I. Don't I mean let me start with
• 2:49:10
  AG1. One scoop, wake up, then I'll
• 2:49:13
  then I'll exactly you know how I'm moving for the rest of the
• 2:49:17
  day. It might be mental because.
• 2:49:18
  AG1's going to put me in check. Yeah, it might be just a mental.
• 2:49:21
  Thing that's happening to me, but it's a great habit to get
• 2:49:23
  into and right now you're going to, if you use our link, not
• 2:49:28
  only are you going to get the welcome kit, which basically got
• 2:49:30
  everything you need in it to get started, but you're going to get
• 2:49:33
  3 AG, one travel packs, 3AG Z travel packs, which is their new
• 2:49:37
  thing for sleep and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 which is very
• 2:49:42
  important. I don't even have that yet, so I
• 2:49:44
  might have to use my own link to get this.
• 2:49:47
  But yeah, you just add the vitamin D3 and K2 to the AG one
• 2:49:52
  in the morning. That way you're getting
• 2:49:54
  everything you need. I highly suggest you guys do
• 2:49:57
  this. I'm taking it myself.
• 2:49:59
  Carl took it. Malcolm's tried it as well.
• 2:50:01
  Everyone here has tried it. We've I've been listening to ads
• 2:50:04
  for AG1 for fucking possibly eight years now from all the
• 2:50:07
  podcasts I listened to and I must say it is definitely worth
• 2:50:13
  it, especially if you are not the healthiest of people.
• 2:50:15
  And I know all you guys listening are not unfortunately.
• 2:50:18
  So check it out and thank you very much, AG.
• 2:50:22
  One, yeah and thank you AG one for giving us a.
• 2:50:23
  Chance to do this because it's it's cool, you know, that this
• 2:50:27
  is not a normal sponsor for us. Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 2:50:30
  So it's definitely nice to broaden our horizons.
• 2:50:35
  Is that a saying? Yeah, I don't know.
• 2:50:37
  Look at you before we close this.
• 2:50:39
  Episode out. I would like to talk about
• 2:50:42
  Wrecked magazine. All right, so this is a new
• 2:50:47
  company that we've partnered with.
• 2:50:49
  I talked to the guys over there recently and I'm very excited
• 2:50:54
  about this. I don't know if I told you yet.
• 2:50:56
  Did I tell you? A little bit, OK.
• 2:50:58
  I'm very, yeah, I'm very excited about.
• 2:51:00
  This. I'm a big print person.
• 2:51:04
  I love magazines. I love them from day one.
• 2:51:06
  You love tangible media? Yes.
• 2:51:09
  Yeah. Physical media is the best
• 2:51:12
  media. I'm not saying videos aren't
• 2:51:14
  good. Videos are obviously very
• 2:51:15
  fucking important. But social media?
• 2:51:18
  I'm good on that. It's 2020. 6 Let's turn.
• 2:51:21
  A new leaf from new page, turn new page.
• 2:51:24
  Fuck that shit. Get fuck it.
• 2:51:26
  A real magazine with literally everything.
• 2:51:28
  Did you take a look at this yet? No, I didn't.
• 2:51:30
  I only looked at. The digital version, which they
• 2:51:32
  sometimes, yeah, give you access to.
• 2:51:34
  Yeah. So what?
• 2:51:35
  Rec Magazine. Does is they have an actual
• 2:51:37
  print magazine that comes out quarterly?
• 2:51:39
  It's a drifting magazine. This is literally a drifting
• 2:51:43
  magazine through through 100% it's.
• 2:51:44
  Not Super Street, it's not. Not focused on anything else,
• 2:51:46
  yeah. It's not Super Street.
• 2:51:47
  It's not. Import tuner it's none of those
• 2:51:49
  it's a drifting magazine, so when you read this, you are
• 2:51:53
  going to get fucking hit with a bunch of information you're
• 2:51:58
  going to not not only that the advertisements in this magazine
• 2:52:01
  are good here. Take a look at it while we're
• 2:52:02
  look at this it's. We got episode.
• 2:52:04
  We got episode. We got issue 2 here right now
• 2:52:06
  that we're looking at, and I don't know, I'm just excited
• 2:52:11
  about this. I mentioned earlier in the intro
• 2:52:12
  or whatever that we're trying to, but we're trying to get
• 2:52:16
  these in the shop so we can sell them here.
• 2:52:18
  Because I think when people walk in the shop and they see them,
• 2:52:20
  they're going to be like, OK, I need this.
• 2:52:23
  You know, not only does it capture a moment in time, but
• 2:52:26
  it's. There's a lot of information in
• 2:52:28
  there, man. Yeah, Dude, this is no.
• 2:52:30
  Joke, did you see the look at the?
• 2:52:32
  End You're going to see something about 350Z.
• 2:52:35
  There's a whole article about 350 ZS.
• 2:52:38
  Like. And if they start doing more
• 2:52:40
  stuff like they were talking to me about like tech articles,
• 2:52:42
  shop articles and stuff like this, it's going to be very
• 2:52:45
  informative. So I would definitely check it
• 2:52:47
  out. But yeah, I don't know.
• 2:52:49
  I'm just very, I'm very excited about this one.
• 2:52:52
  It's and it's ran by the best people in the industry.
• 2:52:55
  So yeah, definitely check it out.
• 2:52:58
  It's like, dude, it's like the Thrasher magazine of the of the
• 2:53:01
  drifting culture. Yeah, yeah, that's literally
• 2:53:04
  what it feels like. So yeah, dude, this thing is
• 2:53:06
  really cool. Like.
• 2:53:09
  You could tell that a lot of effort is put into these.
• 2:53:13
  It's not just some Willy nilly yeah, oh, somebody made a
• 2:53:16
  magazine. No, this is.
• 2:53:18
  And it's not a. Real.
• 2:53:20
  It's like it's 2026. It's not easy to make a
• 2:53:22
  magazine, trust me, because we've thought about it and we
• 2:53:24
  wanted to do it, but it's an immense amount of work.
• 2:53:27
  Yeah, and it's. Expensive the.
• 2:53:29
  Designing. Is.
• 2:53:33
  Not only that, you ever think about.
• 2:53:34
  Orchestrating. People to go.
• 2:53:38
  To events, not only for media, but to write articles.
• 2:53:41
  Like there's a lot of shit involved.
• 2:53:43
  Yeah, yeah. So yeah.
• 2:53:46
  But it's just awesome. I I don't know about you guys,
• 2:53:48
  but I'm 35 so I remember going to Damn.
• 2:53:53
  How come you're 30? Continue.
• 2:53:57
  So I remember. So I remember seeing magazines
• 2:54:00
  and stuff when I would go to bookstore, like you can tell I'm
• 2:54:03
  a bad, I'm a bad kid because I would just go to the bookstore
• 2:54:06
  and go to the magazine section, just try to find import tuner.
• 2:54:08
  But yeah. And that's where like a lot of
• 2:54:11
  people got into cars too, I feel like.
• 2:54:13
  So, But yeah, super high quality photos, really good articles.
• 2:54:18
  Like I said, they got the best people in the industry working
• 2:54:20
  for them right now. Check out their Instagram if you
• 2:54:22
  want to see more. Most importantly, check out
• 2:54:24
  their website. I was just on it before.
• 2:54:27
  I believe it was like 60 to $70 versus a yearly subscription.
• 2:54:32
  It's really not that bad. Oh wow.
• 2:54:34
  You get a so you get a discount. Yeah, because a single issue is
• 2:54:37
  about 20. Is it 2020?
• 2:54:40
  Bucks, Yeah, 2320. Two, maybe something like that.
• 2:54:42
  I think it. Was around $20.
• 2:54:44
  Yeah, I'm not sure yet. And of.
• 2:54:45
  Course it's gonna be expensive for First of all, it's not easy
• 2:54:48
  to. Well, first of all, I don't even
• 2:54:49
  think that's expensive anymore, but I'm just gonna act like it
• 2:54:51
  is because I think magazines were like 5 to $12.00 when I
• 2:54:54
  was. It all depended on the.
• 2:54:57
  Yeah, but. Like nowadays you dude, you
• 2:55:00
  can't even eat McDonald's for less than 30 bucks.
• 2:55:02
  So yeah. So I don't know, but totally
• 2:55:05
  worth it. I would definitely spend 20
• 2:55:07
  bucks on a magazine like that. Just have it, yeah.
• 2:55:11
  I might not even read it for months.
• 2:55:12
  But just to have it and know that it's there and I can go
• 2:55:15
  back and I can look at the the stuff that's changed and
• 2:55:17
  everything. There's a fucking bright seat
• 2:55:20
  fucking sponsor on the back of that I should have.
• 2:55:22
  Sick. Wow.
• 2:55:23
  It just feels like an old super street mag.
• 2:55:26
  So yeah, check them out. You're going to be hearing about
• 2:55:28
  them a lot because this is this is a sponsorship that I'm very
• 2:55:31
  or a partnership that I'm very invested in.
• 2:55:34
  Personally, I would love to see magazines come back.
• 2:55:36
  I know it's almost impossible for that to happen on a large
• 2:55:40
  scale, but I. Don't know some people are.
• 2:55:42
  Saying they're kind of over social media right now.
• 2:55:45
  So yeah, dude, it's it's. Not the same.
• 2:55:47
  I mean, people are. Looking for a Kodak is killing
• 2:55:50
  it right now with those like the photo things, they hook it up to
• 2:55:54
  your phone and it prints photos. People want real shit now.
• 2:55:57
  It's like everyone's reverting back.
• 2:55:59
  So it's definitely a great time for this to happen.
• 2:56:01
  I hope it, you know, I hope the momentum stays.
• 2:56:06
  I did hear that they're thinking about having these at Formula
• 2:56:09
  Drift so that you might see them at Formula Drift.
