0:00
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the After
0:02
Hours podcast. On today's episode, we have
0:06
Dimitri and JD of Prime Motoring.
0:10
Dimitri is the owner of Prime Motoring.
0:12
He was invited probably last week, I'd say, even though we've
0:16
been talking about this for about, I want to say almost two
0:20
years, which is crazy, but this is one that I've been meaning to
0:24
do. But to be honest, I was a little
0:26
nervous. I, I kind of, I kind of look up
0:29
to Dimitri a bit. He owns one of the, I guess more
0:35
popular, you would say Subaru performance shops on the East
0:38
Coast, possibly the country. So he's kind of, I would say
0:43
almost like a role model to me. So I was, I was a bit nervous,
0:47
but once this one got started, it was complete, completely full
0:50
of laughs and good times. And these guys are JD always
0:53
stops by. JD is one of the techs over
0:55
there. He always stops by here and
0:59
Chris knows him. He's known him for so long.
1:01
So we we pretty much just get along with these guys like like
1:04
we're a family. So it's it was nothing but good
1:07
times. A lot of funny stories in this
1:10
one. A lot of information about
1:13
things that happened in shops behind the scenes type of
1:16
situations. I think the the technicians and
1:19
other people in the automotive field that listen to this
1:21
podcast are really going to enjoy this episode.
1:23
So let me know what you think. Just a reminder, we are giving
1:26
away products every month over on factionmotorsports.com.
1:30
Every $5 spent gets you one entry and Faction Motorsports
1:33

1:35
For the month of November we are giving away an ORC clutch valued
1:39
up to $1500. Ogura Racing Clutch has been
1:42
involved in the Japanese racing scene since 1998 and now they
1:45
are officially available in the USA.
1:47
If you've watched any Japanese drifting before then you have
1:50
seen the ORC branding all over the cars and tracks.
1:53
ORC has always been the coolest clutch to run in your drift car,
1:56
but they are not limited to drifting.
1:58
They have a massive range of clutch styles and torque ratings
2:00
to fit whatever need you have. No matter if you are drifting,
2:03
drag racing or circuit driving, ORC has a clutch for you and
2:06
they are not limited to JDM, they even supply the Euro
2:09
market. Before, anytime we wanted to get
2:11
an ORC clutch or a rebuild kit, we would have to import them
2:14
from Japan and risk getting them lost in shipping or at customs.
2:18
But all that is now in the past and ORC is stocking single and
2:21
twin clutches in the States. We have been working with them
2:23
for a couple months now, letting them know which clutches are the
2:26
ones to keep on hand for everyone and what replacement
2:29
kits will be needed. They are working with us on this
2:31
month's giveaway and offering a clutch valued at $1500.

5:55
They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
5:58
game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
6:01
way to check their wheel fitment.
6:02
With their user friendly tool you can check diameter with an
6:05
offset before you buy your wheels.
6:07
Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
6:10
was correct. Just throw their tool on your
6:12
wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
6:15
clears your coil over and fenders before committing to the
6:17
purchase. Not only can you check wheel
6:19
fitment with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
6:21
clearance as well. This is really great for
6:24
Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
6:26
their setups. Now you can see if those new
6:29
suspension arms or tie rods that will clear your wheels at full
6:31
lock before going out and destroying your new wheels.
6:34
Another feature is that you can use two of these tools together
6:37
to measure track width from the wheel center line.
6:40
About 20% of Ramstead's customers purchase 2 tools at
6:43
once so they can measure track width for various wheel and
6:46
suspension setups. I recommend this product to the
6:48
everyday enthusiast and most importantly shop owners that
6:51
need a way to size wheels for customers so that they know they
6:54
are getting the right specs before ordering a brand new set
6:56
of wheels. To get more info, head on over

Brunch I ran like 4 miles the other day.
13:05
Yeah, I do it when I feel shitty about myself and I still smoke.
13:10
Like maybe not a full bag of day, maybe like half, like a
13:14
little under half. I'm going to take up smoking
13:16
again, but I want to do it in like, no listen, I'm going to do
13:18
it in like an organic way. Like I want to get like my own
13:22
Leafs that are not sprayed with glyphosate.
13:25
And yeah, like grow your own grow.
13:27
But I will I I have nowhere to grow that you know it's.
13:29
Kind of like bags of tobacco and just roll.
13:31
You can actually buy the leaves, yeah, untreated and stuff and
13:35
then you can do them how you want and then also get a pipe
13:38
and you know, it's just there is benefits to it.
13:40
If you smoke tobacco, have a pipe.
13:42
That would be fucking crazy. You would look it's supposed to
13:44

13:45
better smoke No, it's good for you.
13:46
There's no, it's, it's actually, there's benefits to it.
13:49
I'm not saying I'm gonna smoke like like crazy all day, but
13:52
like I have, I take one or two of these a day.
13:55
That's why that's why the conversation struck got started,
13:58
by the way. It's because of Nick.
13:59
You notice it was like nicotine gum.
14:01
Yeah, no, it's it's a mint. You just put it here.
14:04
It's got not a lot of it's literally peppermint oil and
14:07
xylitol, which is good for your teeth anyway, and that's it.
14:10
And it's just like it gives you just a little.
14:12
I don't. Dude, when you when you do get
14:14
to like your fancy, and we'll call that the top tier
14:17
cigarette, OK, When you get to that point, my brother had used
14:20
to be like a roll your own. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
14:24
Oh, my God. No.
14:24
He was super straight. Yeah.
14:26
I don't know. I don't know how you would like.
14:28
It you cut your paper with yourself.
14:30
I had this tobacco. Never smoked cigarettes, never
14:32
had. Anything he had, the tobacco
14:34
that was very like, it was like good clean aside from it being
14:38
really fresh. Dude, the effects of the tobacco
14:43
are like, Oh my God, a couple beers in and you have one of
14:46
those. Yeah.
14:47
Oh, you're. Exactly.
14:48
In the sky. Who the fuck wants to get like
14:50
drink, like go out drinking to a bar and then be like, yo, we're
14:54
gonna go outside and hit a vape? Like, yeah, people don't enjoy
14:57
fucking the fags nowadays. That's all they want to do.
14:59
They want to. Yeah, many about that in Bieber.
15:02
You do enjoy it, You know what I mean?
15:03
Like. It's and then they do it inside
15:05
too and you're like and then before you know it they're doing
15:07
it every fucking. I haven't drink in five, not
15:09
five years. 2019 is the last time I drank my wedding day.
15:14
That was it. That's the last time I had a sip
15:15
of alcohol. But it's like I do it for like I
15:18
don't care. Like I don't go out anymore and
15:20
stuff either, but like it's still cool.
15:23
Like if someone goes to like, I'm not going to talk shit about
15:26
the dude that goes to the bar and then, you know, lets off
15:30
some steam and then goes outside and smokes a cigarette.
15:32
Like good for you dude. Like good for you.
15:34
Like that's cool to me. Like good for you.
15:36
Don't kill yourself over it. And there's cleaner ways of
15:39
doing it. I mean this shit has almost
15:41
nothing in it. There's nothing in it.
15:42
That's why I didn't do the zin thing because there's a lot of
15:44
microplastics and zin and stuff. So I don't want to, you know, I,
15:47
I, I do try to be conscious with certain stuff.
15:50
So this is literally just not tobacco, nicotine, xylitol and
15:55
fucking peppermint oil. There's like it's and it's just
15:58
a mint. So it's like, you know, freshens
16:00
your breath, which is kind of nice.
16:01
Interesting. There's clean, clean ways to be
16:03
degenerate. Yeah.
16:06
Yeah, there's like cleaner ways to do it, yeah.
16:07
Right straight edges. But it's, in other words, it's
16:10
also like there's studies with Alzheimer's and stuff like that
16:13
too, like, oh, that helps with that.
16:15
That's why. That's why you do it.
16:17
The nicotine, yeah. Fuck, I'm set.
16:19
I'm good. I That's probably why I'm.
16:21
Going to be able to go buy bad cigarettes that.
16:23
Runs in my, not a yeah, that runs in my, in my family
16:27
bloodline. It's like Alzheimer's and like
16:30
TV. I don't know if dementia is
16:32
really. Yeah, yeah, it's all lame.
16:33
Dude but like. But like if you smoke in a
16:36
clean, like that's what I'm saying, like I'm exploring ways
16:39
to do it in like a clean way, you know, like I'm not gonna be
16:42
like, and I have very good like I'm not, I don't have an
16:46
addictive personality either. So like even the cigarette stuff
16:49
personally. You seem pretty disciplined.
16:51
I am. Fitness super is disciplined.
16:53
I'm not fitness anymore. Well, it was, I was.
16:56
But like I, I am like, I've strict to everything, like my
17:00
regiment. So it's like.
17:01
Does that mean, JD, how how is be real now?
17:04
You're in a safe, you're in a safe place.
17:07
How is it working? Me bro he loves.
17:10
Me no, you seem like an amazing boss, mainly because.
17:13
He's cool to be with. Like he's dude, I'm I'm the most
17:17
like, I must say, like he's an asshole.
17:18
Like all bosses are an asshole. Frank's an asshole.
17:21
Dimitri's an asshole. I never get on that.
17:23
They're late. I don't give a shit, but I I'll
17:25
be like, oh, here we go. He's very flexible.
17:28
He's very flexible and realistic to life.
17:30
Like that's what you, you know what I'm saying?
17:31
You need that in a boss like. A boss that.
17:33
Understands and sees you and and understands life situations or
17:37
whatever and then understands all that that's what you need.
17:40
He could be a dig, he could be an asshole, he could be, you
17:42
know, whatever the fuck you want him to be.
17:43
But if he can understands you and that after pissed and
17:46
everything you can't hold the conversation with afterwards, I
17:48
get mad and it's great. Of course you're supposed to
17:50
argue all the time and then. Like 5.
17:52
Minutes later we're like, yo, Dimitri's like, oh, this this
17:54
thing. He's like, yeah, yeah, whatever,
17:55
go do this, dude. That's not my daddy.
17:56
Cool, whatever. So like, I grew up obviously in
17:59
the diners, right? Of course I'm Greek, right?
18:01
So my dad, he's a fat fucking understanding dude.
18:04
I'm on food all the time. I've watched my dad go ape shit,
18:08
like just blow a gasket. And then as soon as he's done
18:11
blowing his gasket, he's laughing.
18:13
Like it's just like it's just and I have that same on all.
18:15
That switch, that's definitely. Just like you gotta blow, like
18:17
you just gotta go crazy. And then it's just like, I'm not
18:20
gonna hold that grudge with you. Like, unless you, you screw me
18:23
over. Like on a, you know, on a
18:25
personal level, I'll hold the grudge.
18:27
But then even then, over time, like I don't care anymore, like,
18:30
you know, you know, it's what just too much time, just too
18:32
much. Effort.
18:33
Yeah, to just. Keep all just to like keep
18:35
around. But like, you know, sometimes
18:37
someone fucks up and you and it's like you fuck up one time,
18:40
cool, you fuck up multiple times, I'm gonna blow up and
18:43
then it's but I'm not gonna what is?
18:44
It what is? So what's the reason with?
18:47
What's the reason with JC? You're going to name drop.
18:54
This. There's JD and JC.
18:56
Oh, suck a Dick. There's JD and JC.
18:59
They're the same fucking person. No, it's just no.
19:01
JC is the Mexican version of JD, who's the Dominican version of
19:06
JC. He's the speaker version of me.
19:12
You're both equally. You're more Filipino, though.
19:14
No, no, far from me. You like it, but it like
19:19
everyone fucks up. But like at least JC, like at
19:22
the beginning, they're like, you got to fire JC.
19:23
You got to fire JC. I'm like, I was like, yo, 'cause
19:25
I had gone on vacation. Oh man.
19:27
No, why bro? We could.
19:29
Talk for hours. Yo is this bad?
19:31
Hold on, I want to do what? JC did.
19:33
No, it wasn't even like attentional.
19:36
It's not his fault. Yeah, it wasn't even
19:37
attentional. It's like they you can't give
19:39
the guy. You got to play to everyone's
19:41
strengths. Certain people are good at
19:43
certain things. Like I'm not going to give, you
19:45
know, like mod stuff. I'm not going to give JC because
19:49
it just doesn't he's doesn't he's not comfortable with it.
19:53
But like if you give him like an NA like ACVT job or something
19:58
like super dealer like mass attack RU shit like he'll get
20:02
that shit done. Knows what to do to it.
20:04
Everything. He's Rain Man.
20:06
With what the? Fuck, he goes he Yeah, so it's.
20:09
Horrible. Like no.
20:10
No, no, no, it's good. I mean, like, those jobs sound
20:13
horrible, Yeah. But he loves them and he's good
20:16
at them. So it's like, so it's like, I'm
20:18
gonna give him stuff like that. I'm gonna give him put the car
20:21
back to stock. He he'll like sit there and find
20:23
the, you know, like little stuff that I have no patience.
20:26
Other people like, you know, like you could you do it too,
20:28
rather than everyone could do it.
20:29
But he's like good at that. How many?
20:31
How long was he with you before you noticed that?
20:34
Immediately. OK, Immediately.
20:37
Yeah. And like Dave, like White Dave,
20:39
White Dave is good at White Dave's stuff.
20:41
Like, yo, put this motor together here, here's
20:43
everything, Here's the work order.
20:44
He won't he dude, you don't give a work order customer like this.
20:49
Yeah, here's the work order Dave.
20:51
Dave is one of those people that Dave is one of those people.
20:53
Like if you have a prick customer, sorry to say you like
20:55
that, but you have one of those prick customers that their car.
20:59
No, Dave, always. It's always every single bolt,
21:02
like everything 10mm, like 8mm bolt, 8mm bolt.
21:07
Yo course them I'm moving. I'd moved his head.
21:10
He had all the head gasket on the bond before he's like and I
21:15
moved it to take a picture to send in the customer cause a
21:17
closed deck box and he's like yeah, I wanted to get the send
21:20
it to him make him no. But The thing is he had the ARP
21:22
head studs in a bug. Which with, with the grease of
21:25
it, Yeah, yeah. So he comes over and lifts the
21:27
fucking head gasket through the silicone.
21:29
Yeah, he's like, what the fuck? He like, farted out.
21:32
I started laughing. I'm just like, Oh my God.
21:37
He's just super particular, but you got to you, you give them
21:39
super particular work, But if you need some, you know, like
21:42
every, you play to everyone's strengths.
21:43
And that's, that's like, I'm not going to.
21:46
And if sometimes I'll give JC like an AOS to install and he,
21:52
I, I can't be like, yo, what the fuck?
21:54
I know he's not comfortable with.
21:55
He's to come over to us. He's done a few times and I'm
21:58
like, yo, I need you to do this right now because everyone's
22:01
busy. But if you need help, ask the
22:03
guys. Don't be afraid to ask.
22:04
I'm not going to like if I if it's not a rush job, take your
22:07
time, do it right. He'll do it, you know, but it
22:10
and like certain things he'll like he does mess up
22:12
occasionally with like dumb like lapse of judgement things.
22:16
But you, you just hearing you talk about this, you have to
22:18
like him because you could have got rid of him fucking right
22:21
when you saw him. I like all my guys.
22:23
It's like the whole dynamic. It's like, yeah, like, but
22:27
that's the thing. It's like I'm not one.
22:30
I'm not the firing kind of dude like.
22:32
I don't I'm the same. Way when he was on.
22:36
I think it was your wedding when you went on your wedding and
22:38
stuff like that. And Jay-Z put the fucking the
22:40
incident that he happened, he tells us what fire when Jay-Z
22:43
put the hole in the trans and shit like that.
22:45
Oh, he ruined the transfer. Yeah, he was on vacation.
22:48
I think he was his wedding or something.
22:49
It was just his speed too, his STI 6 speed.
22:51
He ruined it. He he went out to fire him.
22:53
And I'm just like, oh, hold on. We're not the boss.
22:56
You're not. Here, we're not firing him.
22:58
Dude, deal with this when you get back.
22:59
The thing is like, he'll make a mistake, he won't make that
23:01
mistake again. He'll make another mistake, but
23:04
he won't make that mistake again.
23:05
But then then I'm like everyone's like, yo, for a
23:08
while, no one, it doesn't happen anymore.
23:10
But I was like, yo, every single person here fucks up and we do
23:14
and everyone does. And it's like, it's my job to
23:17
make. It's my job and the guys
23:18
upstairs to make it better for the customer.
23:21
I'm not going to just like I'm not going to ruin someone's life
23:24
for something that they like, they have remorse over either.
23:27
Like I, I, it's just like you fuck up, everyone messes up.
23:31
It's it's just part of life. I mess up all the time.
23:33
It's like I'm human. We're all human.
23:35
So I'm not going to sit there and fire someone or berate
23:37
someone. Well, I'll berate you for that
23:39
moment, but then I'm going to like, yo, let's come on, let's
23:43
not do this again, you know? But you've had to fire
23:45
technicians before. I've had to.
23:47
I've had to but it's over like. It's got to be over some like
23:51
bad intentional shit. Like like you're really you're,
23:55
you're making it a point to be negligent.
23:57
That would make me want to not. We bear.
24:00
We rarely go through text, though.
24:02
I've been there seven years almost, I think almost eight
24:03
years. I've never seen him fire
24:05
anybody. Wow.
24:06
OK, so. So it's like pretty rare.
24:07
Seven-year. How long has Chris been with
24:09

24:11
You know Chris's favorite color. Fuck.
24:14

24:19
favorite color. Seems like something that you
24:22
should share sometimes. I know his favorite type of
24:24
woman. That's crazy.
24:26
I know his favorite type of woman.
24:28
Every single one. You ain't lying though.
24:32
Very single one. You got a hole I can poke.
24:34

25:02
big ass and you're and you were just like.
25:05
I knew her though. I it's.
25:07
Probably the same ones that come here and we're.
25:09
Generally, they're probably on the same route.
25:11
It's. Just for people listening, they
25:12
don't understand when it's very rare for a fucking woman, hearts
25:15
delivery driver to fucking just show up.
25:17
Yeah. So you're always like, wait.
25:18
What about the old Dominican guy Wobach?
25:25
Says it every time he sees he does do it.
25:28
He does do it. You know why he pissed me off?
25:30
Because he'd always show up early and he always parked in
25:37

So it's like, you know, like I park the cars of how in like the
26:33
order of they're gonna get worked on so we don't have to
26:35

Yeah, like that. So like we're like, yo, we can
31:50
do we'll we'll fix it. Like we'll do a timing bell on
31:53
your car. It was off timing too.
31:55
We'll like we'll do a timing bell off your on your car.
31:58
This is pictures from two years ago that I had on my phone.
32:01
I was like the crank pulley was loose and it, you know, whatever
32:04
the and I'm like, I can align it, but if the snout of the
32:07
crank is messed up, like you need a new crank.
32:10
So just keep in mind if like we pull it off and if if it's not
32:13
repairable, whatever. So he took the car out of there.
32:16
He took it to another shop and they're like, they put a timing
32:19
bell and everything was fine. And it's like, dude, we give you
32:22
the worst case scenario and you chose to leave.
32:24
And that's like I would. Never.
32:26
I would never let that shit go like that.
32:28
Exactly. So I was like, dude, I have to
32:29
give you the worst case scenario, so you have to
32:31
understand that, but don't call me a bad guy.
32:33
He's like, they were trying to make me get a new motor.
32:35
No, dude, we told you that it might require like a new
32:39
crankshaft, which would require to pull the motor apart.
32:42
Or it'd be cheaper to maybe just get another motor to put into
32:45
the car because you know, it's off timing too, so you don't
32:49
know what kind of damage has been done.
32:50
And then I don't want to get blamed for it later.
32:53
So it's like. You have.
32:54
You have to do that. You can't.
32:56
You can't just. Don't call me a bad guy.
32:58
Yeah, I'm not a horrible person. I'm a good.
33:00
The bad guy is the person that took the job on and fixed it,
33:04
and then who knows how he fixed it.
33:06
Yeah. Did he actually fix it or did
33:08
he? Looking at this I would I do not
33:10
want to know. You, you know exactly what's
33:12
going on there, the timing. Here all.
33:14
Messed up. Yeah, so it's like I'm dude,
33:16
don't call me a bad guy. Like I'm literally giving you a
33:19
worst case scenario because it's.
33:21
Like I was looking at your your stuff earlier and I was like, I
33:24
think you guys got 300 reviews or something and it's like a
33:26
4.8. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty
33:28
fucking good. That's.
33:29
A fat sample size, that's what the hell.
33:31
Yeah, there's like and there's like there's one star reviews
33:35
for stuff like that Dude, if I mess up, I fess up to it.
33:38
But there's a lot of them that are like stupid too and like you
33:40
got to hear our side of the story as well.
33:42
But like, and if you, if you told if it's, you can word it a
33:47
certain way and be like, you know, whatever.
33:50
But when you call me a bad guy, like there's bad guys like
33:55
that's, that's to me, that's a low blood guy like.
33:58
There's. Bad shops, yo, because there's
34:00
cars, garbage that comes by. But like, like, you hit low on
34:03
that one with me. So that at that point, yeah, I'm
34:05
going to get mad at you. And then if that ruins my day,
34:08
he posted that review on like a Friday night too.
34:12
He ruined my fucking. Weekend, I know exactly how you
34:15
feel. He ruined my fucking weekend.
34:17
He took the review down. Yeah, we, I'm.
34:19
Sure, he saw that, which is fine.
34:21
We just had a similar situation. Even worse than that though,
34:23
this guy wasn't even here before and he and you know and he's
34:27
like emailing us. He emailed us maybe 2 times
34:29
about jobs. Both times I you let him down
34:34
softly. You know, I'm like, yeah, we
34:35
don't really work on that stuff. Yeah, we can try, you know, but
34:39
I'm going to tell you right now we don't do that.
34:41
So if you want to bring it somewhere else, it might be
34:42
better. Wrote this huge crazy review.
34:45
I saw it on my e-mail. Yeah.
34:47
So I I think I still wanted it. For.
34:49
Maltrite yeah. And then I and then I go back to
34:51
his e-mail that he last sent me and he never responded.
34:54
Or there was like some, I don't know if I didn't respond to some
34:57
of it. So I responded right, as if I
34:58
didn't see the review. And I was like, yeah, man, I
35:01
just want to let you know, like, I don't know if we can do it.
35:03
I was really nice. Yeah.
35:04
I go back. The review's gone.
35:06
Oh, OK, good. I'm like.
35:08
Maybe they just woke up all sour.
35:10
I yeah, it was so weird. I wake up you sour too.
35:13
You get a lot of like. Fucking stupid people.
35:15
But it's like you didn't even. You never.
35:16
Even beat for no. Reason I'm like, well we're
35:17
helping you and you wanna. Like.
35:19
Think that we're trying to abuse you?
35:21
Yeah, get the fuck out of here. The thing is, dude, if we fuck
35:23
up, give us a chance to make it better.
35:26
If we can't make it better, at that point, I understand.
35:28
Like, I get it at that point, but I'll do whatever dude.
35:31
We like, you know, you refund people.
35:33
Yeah. I can't even imagine what you've
35:35
done. Oh my God, dude, the the free
35:37
shit we've given out because like it happens like it's like,
35:40
and I'm sure there's people that are, you know, shouldn't show
35:43
up, blah, blah, blah, whatever. It's like, dude, if you if you
35:45
think, if you have a shop and you say you didn't fuck up, like
35:48
you're full of shit, you don't have a you're not busy enough.
35:50
Now that's true, period. Like stuff happens and then it's
35:53
like it's just the, it, it is what it is at that point.
35:56
And it's part of, you know, being like a, a, you know, like
35:59
having a lot of moving parts. As you see now, you have a ton
36:02
of moving parts now. Yeah, as it gets crazier.
36:04
How is it? Yeah.
36:06
I mean, it's not that crazy yet, but it's it's getting a little
36:09
bit crazy. How's that rent?
36:11
The rent is bad. Damn, that was the.
36:12
Biggest smile I've ever the rent.
36:14

38:51
And he's like, Nah, I'm good, dude.

40:01
with that, but they're like some people just are very
40:03
inconsiderate. So just like their surroundings?
40:06
I was going to say if if they if they took the step to ensure
40:10
that they were safe, yeah, I can't really say anything.
40:13
But if they got no ear protection and has a baby next
40:17
to a Dino or a dog. Primarily in a Subaru specialty
40:20
shop where a lot of Subarus are loud as fuck and then like I
40:25

40:27
Me. Do you remember the guy with the
40:28
parrot on his shoulder? Damn.

and it was like blue and white with like had like the crazy
40:42

40:51
shoulder, like walking. Around office and you're off and
40:54

40:57
We did a full build on his car. He came and got tuned like
41:00
literally just like the parrot on his shoulder.
41:02
And dude, you didn't hear the parrot at all.
41:04
It was like I thought it was fake for a while, but we.
41:06
Need more of that guy. Yeah, it was cool.
41:07

41:22
were here. Turn that fucking thing off.
41:24

41:41
had like a old Ferrari, like a 360 and he had like a Viper and
41:45
stuff and he used to, and he would live in Lyndhurst.

41:53
Bullshit. Yeah, yeah.
41:54
Or like tac motor works and shit.

41:58
What the fuck is? That that was a shop in like

Central Jersey, Yeah, for a long time ago.
42:04
And then he would tune there. And then I remember he started,
42:08
he did a couple like E tunes, like not E tunes, like street
42:10
tunes for us here. And then it was like yo, you
42:13

like I remember Vince who Vince worked with Junior and would
42:51
like do he was like yo Vince is good at motors and stuff and
42:56
he's like he could build motors for you, stuff like that.
42:58
I was like, OK, he like needed a job and stuff and we just we we

You weren't doing Subarus. Yet I was VW Audi to the core.
43:14
What the fucking crossover happened?
43:16
There yeah that's why I'm I'm gonna get this story I.
43:18
Didn't know that. He's, he, we, we had a
43:20
conversation about Volkswagens and stuff.
43:22
And I've had a lot of Volkswagens.
43:24
I've had a lot of Volkswagens. Like remember the key that I had
43:26
with the cylinder? My I was like, oh this is from
43:28
one of the. Volkswagens I used to have and.
43:30
Say he's like, oh, that's not old.
43:31
And then we started talking and I was like, damn, you are a big

43:37
Audis like wow. Yeah, like a lot like Mark 1,
43:41

43:44
I've had every S4 about everything.
43:47
So is is Junior the reason why? Junior pretty much came dude, he
43:51
was like, I remember I had an S4, I had AI had a 2004 S four
43:56
and he's like, he's like, how much power did I make?
43:59
And it was like supercharged. And he's like, I was like like
44:01
450 and he's like, he's like my Forester would fuck you up.
44:03
That was like the first conversation I ever had.
44:06
I was like, what does that make? And he's like 500 on pump gas.
44:09
And I was like, OK, I was like, cool.
44:11
And he's like how much you spend on that?
44:13
I forgot what I said. He's like, yeah, He's like, I've
44:15
spent like 1/4 of that. And I was like, damn.
44:18
And then it like planted the seed in my head and I was like,
44:22
and then I started like seeing Evos go fast with like very
44:25
little. I was like, damn, this turbo
44:27
gets cheap as fuck. Yeah, I was like, holy shit,
44:29

44:31
Obviously I was about to ask like what was?
44:33
Yeah. What?
44:34
What year was this around? And what year 2?
44:36

like. Like 1000 bucks will get you a
44:41
fucking 500. Or 10 grand got you like 600
44:43
horsepower and like built motor and everything.
44:46
Now it's like and you barely get a turbo kit.
44:48
Yeah, now it's like 00. That's more than double and.
44:51
Then I was like, damn. And then I remember Vince was
44:54
like selling. He had a automatic 04 WRX wagon
44:59
and he was selling it and I was like, and I liked it and it was
45:01
cool. It's funny, I love automatic
45:03
too. I hate like sticks.
45:05
I'm too lazy for steak. Like I was like, what do you
45:07
want for that? I forgot what the price and he
45:09
he, I bought it from him. It was my first Subaru that I
45:11
bought and I drove it. Dude, I fucking loved it.
45:14
I was like, this is cool. Is it a wagon?
45:16
You said it was a wagon. It was an auto.
45:18
It was like you know, stage 2 and it had like AI think it had
45:21
like a like a built trans and stuff sort of like a high stall.
45:25
So I would launch it everywhere and fucking had a valve body
45:28
with bang gears. It was fun.
45:29
This is. Cool.
45:30
And it's automatic. It's crazy and.
45:32
It's automatic is wild 04? Is that a blah blah?
45:35
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that.
45:36

I love dude the. Seats were the best.
45:45
Yes, thank you. Bug eyes.
45:47
The bug eyes are the bug eyes are the best.
45:49
And people put the 04/05 seats into them and I'm like, why'd
45:52
you downgrade? Yeah, dude, they don't.
45:54
Seats are ugly, but they they're.
45:55
So 405 STI seat is the worst, The worst seat, yeah.
45:59
That was my first and only Subaru experience and mine was
46:03
bone stock except for it had like it had a JDM swap.
46:07
Oh, so it was just like a. JDM like a 2/02/05 or something
46:11
just like probably. It was the the the whatever the
46:13
WRX motor in Japan. Is oh OK yeah yeah, yeah someone
46:17
just swap it's like a cheap swap but they're good it was sick
46:20
they do the job that. Car would destroy ZS and like
46:24
BRZS when they were around a lot more and they were like less.
46:28
BRZS are easy to destroy. Yeah, yeah, to destroy it.
46:31
Was like a newer car and I was, I had like this Subaru and I was
46:34
like. They're fun, This.
46:35
Shit is fast dude. They're.
46:36
Fun. They're fun.
46:37
Bug eyes are the best dude I. Learned here was dump dude,
46:40
yeah, just fucking yeah yeah, and stock suspension that shit
46:43
was. Like, Oh yeah.
46:43
And it was comfortable. Oh yeah, yeah, they're great.
46:46
And then tears are so nice. Great.
46:48
Yeah. They're just a great overall
46:49
car. My my first Subarus was an O2
46:52
WRX. It's awesome.
46:54
Dude, they were great. I.
46:55
Loved it. And then I found out the strut
46:56
towers were fucking gone. Yeah.
46:58
And then it was like, alright, gotta get rid of this.
47:00
Sometimes, but you just don't know.
47:01
Yeah, I. Had no idea.
47:04
Yeah, it's like. Fuck.
47:06
Yeah, you should have just just let it go.
47:07
Just keep driving. Look at fucking Art.
47:09
Art fucking his wagon. He replaced the short towers on
47:12
his wagon. I.
47:13
Did not do art. I would never go through.
47:14
I was like, I told him a few times like, oh, get rid of that
47:17
fucking shit. You're like, no, I'm like, yeah,
47:20
you're replacing both straw and you have to put floor into it.
47:23
Like we have a customer like a die hard 04 WRX owner customer
47:27
and that's happened to his now. And I'm like, dude, I'm like, I
47:30
can give you a quote, but it's gonna be insane quote that. ***
47:33
like 20,000. Dollars this would be.
47:36
Dude, listen, some people put we have customers like that too and
47:39
they just don't wanna give it up.
47:41
And it's like, I get it too, you have sentimental whatever, but
47:44

47:46
I was talking to some other day. They were like, don't you wish
47:48

48:46

49:31
My God dude I'd be down 21 like topped out.
49:33
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't like super fast but by

49:49
Yeah, the 1-6 is a Chrysler engine, apparently.
49:52
Whatever it is, yeah. Tritech or some shit, something
49:55
like that. That sounds like it would be
49:56
bags. And then the next generation was
49:59
Turbo and I don't know shit about them.
50:00
I thought that was the one that. One recently of those, no you
50:03
weren't about the supercharged ones.
50:04
The better is like more reliable.
50:06
Oh, OK. But they get they get more BMW

50:11
an O 9 John Cooper Works and it was, it's like you, we like we
50:15
pulled the motor, we did all the like, you know, like the timing
50:18
chain stuff, the water pump, thermostat housing and all that
50:21
stuff. And it I sold it to Leo and he's
50:24
been driving. Yeah, like a stand.
50:27
Out of a family friend had one of those cars and I must have

53:18
You like stuck your head in like a nuclear reactor, 'cause that
53:21
shit was. Yeah, because it was, it was.
53:23
It wasn't even like it was like, oh, it.
53:25
Was over a bull. It was real 'cause they said it
53:29
was like a cool glowed when you walk literally, you know, a
53:31
little. Bit and something like.
53:32
Coats the white a little bit. Do you remember the sessions?
53:34
When When not Mr. Burns they found in the woods like he would
53:39
glow and he was like, that's how we like walked in that day and I
53:42
was like what the fuck? I'm just picturing if you took
53:45
I'm just. Picturing he went like full emo
53:47
for one day. Yeah, yeah.
53:49
Like like magic. Marcus.
53:50
Like, was that when you were wearing your glasses too?
53:52
No, I just didn't wear. That's a reason.
53:54
You were just came in with black hair and glasses, thick framed
53:56
glasses. I should have been there for
53:59
Halloween, you know? Fuck, that would have been.
54:02
Dude, I was in the cars and then all of a sudden I wasn't for
54:04
like all of high school. I was music, skateboarding, and
54:09
that's it. And girls.
54:09
So that's it, Yeah. You lost you.
54:12
You lost your concentration. Literally, it was.
54:14
Like everyone's getting their license.
54:15
I was like, I don't really fucking care about that.
54:16
That's like me now. Like I didn't care.
54:18
Yeah, I get that now. And then I was like, I don't
54:21
really care about that. And then I think I crashed my
54:24
parents car or something and they're like, we need to get,
54:26
you need to have your own car to crash.
54:27
I was like, OK, like what do you want?
54:29
I was like, I don't know. You don't know, like anything.
54:31
I was like that Mini Cooper, we went for a drive in, was cool,
54:35
and he's like, all right, let's go look at those.
54:36
And that's literally how it happened.
54:38
How long, how long after you got your driver's license in the
54:40
permit did you crash your family's car?
54:42
Your parent's car. Because I got a crazy.
54:44
Story off of that one like. Probably.
54:46
Probably within a year, probably.
54:48
My daughter did it in 12. Hours.
54:51
That's crazy. 12 hours. 12 hours of her permit.
54:54
That's great. Permit.
54:55
Permit she totaled it still like yeah ohh mother in laws car
54:59
fucking. I tell her like you don't know
55:00
how to drive. You went she's like I went to
55:02
driving school. They told me you know saying I
55:03
was like you don't know how to fucking.
55:04
They don't the first car you're gonna drive either.
55:06
The first car you're gonna drive is gonna be mass TI.
55:08
If you know how to drive that shit, you ain't driving shit,
55:10
bitch. And she got, you know, she got
55:13
all excited and she went to her aunt's house.
55:14
Her grandfather let her drive the car on the way up, sometimes
55:17
in the house, sometimes. It's probably better let them
55:19
drive something like. Shitty.
55:21
Ball did. You ever take the car?
55:22
Off. No, they can't.
55:25
Don't crash it, she. Drove up that driveway, almost
55:27
hit my my truck that I had before, not the the Explorer, a
55:31
different car and her grandfather had to pull the
55:33
steering wheel and the car crashed into the house.
55:36
And I was at work. I was working in Palisades Park
55:38
and she's like that 12 hours of having her permit.
55:40
She totalled the car. The punishment was you ain't
55:44
driving shit until after you're ready.
55:46
Two weeks before she had to go take her driving test.
55:48
I take her on a Sunday to Garden State Mall and I put her in the
55:51
car on my STI and I was like, here drive.
55:55
I opened up my phone and I started watching a movie, and
55:59
she balled out, crying, calling her mother.
56:03
Go pick me up. I was like, you ain't want
56:04
nowhere until you fucking drive this car.
56:05
And if you burn my clutch, you're gonna pay for this shit
56:08
and you're gonna do it yourself. Tell you what.
56:10
Though you should not drive a stick.
56:11
Yeah, that's I'm not gonna do that, I feel like.
56:14
Garden State Plaza is a great place to learn how to drive a
56:16
stick I. Feel like if you learn you got
56:18
traffic. License Shit, Yeah.
56:20
You're kind of already gonna be better 'cause you're you're a
56:22
little bit more aware of what's. Going on And that's the point,
56:25
but that's why I was like, yeah, how long?
56:26
How long? How long after you got your
56:28
driver's license? Did you crash the car?
56:29
Yeah, like I got to be on the story 12 hours.
56:32
My situation was retarded. I don't.
56:33
Know I got pulled over pretty quick after I got mine that was
56:36
it but I didn't really get in trouble I tried running away
56:39
from the cops and that was a mistake because I thought it
56:41
doesn't happen like it does in the movies you don't just like.
56:44
Magic. My first car was my my.
56:48
First car was horrible too, it was AB5A4.
56:52
You're rich too. It was 2 grand, had like 200,000
56:56
miles 30. Yeah, he's younger.
56:59
He's younger. That was 2. $1000 I I like work
57:02
summer and. Then 180 or the IT.
57:03
Was a two. It was a 2. 8 the V6.
57:06
It was like, not fast. It was pretty reliable, though.
57:09
Yeah, they're good. I drove it around for like a
57:10
couple years before I sold it and like, yeah, so I thought I
57:14
could get away, get away in that car.
57:16
It was not fast again. Maybe if you had an S4.
57:19
Yeah, maybe. But dude, we I like past the cop
57:21
doing like 100 miles an hour, which isn't that funny how you
57:24
used to think that that was like wildly fast.
57:25
Yeah, I do remember the. Turnpike goes at that speed,
57:28
like sometimes, yeah, we're like all going 100.
57:30
Or if you go West anywhere, everyone's doing 90 miles an
57:32
hour, it's. Five.
57:33
Yeah, 85. You're going with traffic. 100
57:35
miles. Yells at me too.
57:36
And it's like, I'm like, yo, I'm going with traffic.
57:39
And he's like, but you're gonna get a ticket.
57:41
I was like, they're gonna single you out.
57:42
Yeah, I was like, dude, it's like it's whitest motherfucker
57:45
on the road. They're gonna single out.
57:47
That guy is doing something illegal.
57:49
Not the black guy. Black guy looks like what?
57:52
The fuck dude ever since COVID I just do 80 miles an hour.
57:54
I'm route 17 now and no one cares.
57:56
I don't go up, I barely go up something.
57:58
It's so weird. That's where I got pulled over.
58:00
Dude. 100 miles an hour blew. Past the cop.
58:02
You. Get 80 on 17 anymore.
58:04
I just stay in the fast lane when my high beams going like
58:06
this. Yeah, that actually.
58:08
That's it. What do you drive every day now?
58:10
At O2 Silverado. The best, yeah.
58:12
The best I told Malcolm the other day I was like the day I
58:14
get rid of this truck, I'm gonna be like this fucking idiot.
58:16
Almost 300,000 Yeah, I. Literally the best did.
58:21
You had one of those. I had AO5.
58:24
OK, it's still good. Cat eye.
58:26
Cat Eye, Yeah. That's the only thing I know
58:28
about. Oh yes, it's still the same
58:30
truck. Same.
58:30
Truck, it's still great. Best AC, best heat, best driving
58:34
position? Yes, the driving position, the
58:37
seat, the steering wheel goes like goes all the way down.
58:41
So it's like if the air bag goes off, fucking hits you in the
58:44
gut. Everything about the truck is so
58:45
good, dude. And then and like you're just.
58:47
Like hang out. You just like hang out 'cause
58:49
this I like when the steering wheel goes all the way down to
58:51
like your, you know, like to your nuts.
58:52
So you can just like, hang like, yeah, just like hang like this
58:55
instead of doing the fucking window rest.
58:56
I hate the window rest and some of these new cars.
58:58
Like all. Not the windows, no nothing's,
59:00
nothing's comfortable anymore. Dude, everything's like this it.
59:03
Would be like this, yeah. Yeah, like that's what I'm
59:04
saying. Like and the steering.
59:06
Wheel doesn't come down, you can't position the steering.
59:07
Wheel and the newer the trucks get the worse they get.
59:09
But how is yours though? Because you have the one that I
59:11
would have wanted right? Is that?
59:13
The one you wanted. I got rid of my 23 out of the
59:17
23. Yeah, I don't want.
59:18
Sierra, the I got that one. That one's an 18.
59:22
Yeah, that generation. That one's all.
59:24
I love them. OK, so you still so you like
59:26
that one? That one I got from Texas, it
59:28
was it's got 238 on it right now.
59:31
Is that a diesel or not? How's.
59:32
About a Yeah. So that's a, that's a Duramax,
59:35
that's. That's what I would get if I was
59:37
going to. Get a new one.
59:38
That's such a good fucking truck, dude.
59:40
It was so good. It was just high mileage, just a
59:43
little beat up. But yeah, it does.
59:45
It's awesome. Will that pull A2 car?
59:47
Oh yeah. Will it pull A3 car?
59:50
Yeah, Goose, they could. I have like.
59:52
What's I found it like with the with the?
59:53
Other day I had the wheel or whatever.
59:55
I went scrapping the other day and it was I weighed in the
59:59
trailer alone was £17,900 and it was like no.
1:00:03
Problem word all right. Right, Frankie?
1:00:05
Yeah, you're gonna have to check your.
1:00:07
Game up. That's what I wanted.
1:00:09
I wanted to get but then. And it's a it's a single rear
1:00:11
wheel, so it's not like you get a dually like.
1:00:14
Yeah, yeah, I don't really want to deal with the dually
1:00:15
bullshit. Dooley's nice.
1:00:16
If it's not your main everyday call, yeah.
1:00:18
Yeah. And so you got to do brakes and
1:00:20
tires and that's. And then Frankie has to pull
1:00:22
into his garage and then it's like fucking.
1:00:24
Like if I like that truck single could fit in my apartment
1:00:28
garage. Yeah, I'm like, that's sick.
1:00:31
Like anything bigger than that and it's fucked.
1:00:32
There's no way. That's a 25.
1:00:34
If you got a, get a 35 single. If you want to do I saw those
1:00:37
numbers too. I was like, it jumps
1:00:39
significantly just from a 35 it's.
1:00:42
Just a little rougher of a ride but it's not that the it's I had
1:00:45
a single rear wheel ram 35114 that road like shit.
1:00:50
That thing probably just was shit too.
1:00:52
God, did you like it? Damn Frankie, I don't.
1:00:55
Like truck, I don't like those fucking It was a.
1:00:57
Good truck. Like I had a love affair with
1:00:59
Ram forever since I was a kid. I always loved like I remember
1:01:03
like second Gen. Rams were like, I was like, Oh
1:01:05
my God. It's like to me it was like a
1:01:07
Bugatti. But the the when I first got my
1:01:12
when I got my first truck was a 1500 Ram.
1:01:15
Oh no, my first like new truck was like a 1500 Ram and then I
1:01:19
towed an enclosed 26 foot trailer with it.
1:01:23
A gasser that's yeah, like a like a normal hemi or whatever.
1:01:26
The fuck come to that And it was the most like and I got caught
1:01:30
in like a storm and it threw it, dude.
1:01:32
It was throwing me around and I was like, Oh my God, that the
1:01:36
fucking thing was just it was just like on 95 like this, holy
1:01:39
shit. And then so I was like then I
1:01:41
got 'cause I I was like, you know, you were young too.
1:01:43
So I was like, I was young and I was like, you know, it was like,
1:01:46
oh, fucking this could pull just as good as fucking the Co
1:01:48
ratings like yeah, whatever, hell no, dude, you need the
1:01:51
weight. And once I got that, I got the
1:01:53
14 dude, that thing 100 miles an hour, trailer loaded up with
1:01:59
shit. Peep 5 people in the car texting
1:02:02
like this on the like, no problem.
1:02:04
Like no, it pulled amazing. Dude, you didn't feel shit.
1:02:08
It was a great. Truck 2014 one, yeah.
1:02:11
Yeah, yeah. It was a 3500 single rear wheel.
1:02:13
It was awesome. It was a good truck I bought it
1:02:16
for. I bought it for It was like
1:02:19
slightly used. I bought it for like 52 when
1:02:21
like when trucks were priced reasonably I bought it for 52.
1:02:26
Fucking COVID happened, Carvana or CarGurus gave me 49 for it so
1:02:31
I put like 80,000 miles on it. Drove it for how many years?
1:02:34
And just spent 3 grand, yeah. Fire.
1:02:37
It was like literally like a no brainer.
1:02:38
I didn't want to get rid of it, but it was awesome.
1:02:41
I. Should have.
1:02:41
I should have bought a truck when COVID happened.
1:02:43
Yeah, the second COVID started. Yeah, you should have.
1:02:46
Right before COVID you should have bought.
1:02:47
It went on there. I went on and I was like, fuck,
1:02:50
the same truck I was looking at last week just dropped $20,000.
1:02:53
Yeah, I was like, but we don't know what's gonna happen right
1:02:55
now, so I guess I'm not gonna do this.
1:02:56
They just wanted to get cars out the door.
1:02:58
It was kind of crazy. Yeah, they're like.
1:03:01
Yeah, I want a truck in 15. So I drove it for end of 15.
1:03:04
So like almost five years, I drove it.
1:03:07
Got your money's worth? I got.
1:03:08
My money. Oh yeah, I got my money's worth.
1:03:09
Dude, that's how I I say that about my truck.
1:03:11
I'm like, that truck owes me fucking nothing.
1:03:14
That was the best investment I ever made my entire life.
1:03:16
It was $5000. Can't beat that.
1:03:18
Like, and I've, I've put maybe $8000 into it over the course of
1:03:24
years, seven years. Yeah, there's just maintenance
1:03:26
that doesn't count. Yeah.
1:03:27
No payment. No, nothing like that doesn't
1:03:29
count. Yeah, that's just like, it's
1:03:30
just a great truck. Yeah, like 200,000 miles like.
1:03:32
What is going to break on it then?
1:03:35
Well the trans eventually did blow even though everyone been
1:03:37
telling me from the day I got it the trans was gonna go and I was
1:03:39
like okay it did fucking trailer in a California Michigan fucking
1:03:43

1:05:41
You've seen this shit. You don't.
1:05:42
You've seen it here. Uncle Luke's.

1:05:55
No, don't use it. I don't use it yo.
1:05:57
I don't use. It listen.
1:05:58
Like my problem and then you're like.
1:06:00
Yeah, my cousin Nick had a 91 GTI, 16 valve, all right?
1:06:04
That shit went 200,000 miles. He's every oil change.
1:06:07
He said right before he did an oil change, he would run the
1:06:09
engine restore. That's how how I knew about it.
1:06:12
He ran a can of engine restore. I blew.
1:06:15
He sold me that car and I blew it up because I ran it low on
1:06:18
oil. But until then it ran.
1:06:19
That was my fault though. That's my fault.
1:06:22
I didn't check. That's my fault, but that's how
1:06:25
I knew about it. That's how I was on my radar.
1:06:28
I bought that. I bought that Cayenne at auction
1:06:31
that I don't think remember like a 2010 Cayenne or 08.
1:06:34
Oh yeah, like a like a the 1st. Turbo.
1:06:37
Yeah, Yeah, it was like a turbo. What though?
1:06:38
No, no, no, not the white one. Animal.
1:06:41
Best car. the IT was like a Gray one.
1:06:43
It was like one of the first cars I bought at auction.
1:06:45
I fuck with Cayenne. Cayenne Turbo.
1:06:47
And I was like, yeah, shit's sick, dude, Kind of terrible.
1:06:49
And I, I had like a check Angela.
1:06:50
It was as is I'm like, yo, these don't blow up.
1:06:52
I was like, whatever. So I'm like, I got nothing to
1:06:54
worry. It's probably like a need Zolo 2
1:06:55
sensor or something. Dude, that shit came in
1:06:57
misfiring. Did plugs, coils, all that shit.
1:07:00
Couldn't figure out what the fuck's wrong with it.
1:07:02
No. Way.
1:07:03
I brought it to fucking. It was like, they're not there
1:07:06
anymore. It's called Motorsport GmbH,
1:07:08
right around the corner from my house.
1:07:11
And he's like, yo, you ever do a compression test on this?
1:07:12
I was like, no, and he's like, maybe we should do a compression
1:07:16
test, dude. It had like 2 dead cylinders,
1:07:18
like 40 PSI, but it would smoke really bad.
1:07:21
So I was like, he's like, yo, this shit, this motor, you need
1:07:24
a motor dude, this thing's fucked.
1:07:25
I was like, damn dude. I was like, I bought the 8
1:07:30
cylinder, the tall boy of the engine restorer, and I was like,
1:07:34
I just got to sell this thing to just get out, get my money back
1:07:36
'cause I'm not putting a motor. Motors cost more than the car.
1:07:39
I didn't have money to put a motor in it.
1:07:41
I just needed to stop smoking, so I put that can in it.
1:07:45
That shit stopped smoking immediately.
1:07:47
It stopped misfiring. What?
1:07:49
I rolled it right back through auction.
1:07:52
I got all my money back. Dude, that shit was MIT and I
1:07:55
was like, I'm a believer. Compression in a can.
1:07:58
Literally. What the fuck?
1:08:02
Dude that maybe it's just. Like a ring if.
1:08:04
Rafi was here. If Rafi was here, he would.
1:08:06
He did it 'cause he attested to it, 'cause he saw it would plume
1:08:10
smoke idle all the time. It like bad dude.
1:08:13
It stopped smoking completely. I watched it roll through lane.
1:08:18
No smoke, no misfire. That's crazy.
1:08:22
Yeah, dude, that shit works you. I'm a snake oil believer.
1:08:25
You think it was the rings or like it had to be the rings?
1:08:27
Probably, yeah. With compression like that, yeah
1:08:29
'cause if it was like a valve or something, that shit would have
1:08:32
never fixed it. And so it had to have been like
1:08:34
just a really beat up, tired motor.
1:08:36
What is it doing though? Like what is that shit?
1:08:38
Just breaking down all this, it's.
1:08:39
Fixing that dude. Fucking dude fucking putting
1:08:42
that cross hatch back on that. Yeah, I'm.
1:08:44
I'm like doing something to the cylinder walls.
1:08:47
Like it's making it perfect again.
1:08:49
Dude, it's not. It is, dude.
1:08:50
It's like. Ball honing that shit like it's
1:08:52
cross like those. Yeah.
1:08:53
Yeah, yeah, dude. That's what I feel like it's
1:08:55
doing inside yo it literally it's Raffi could have tested for
1:08:59
it. It smoked so bad and that shit
1:09:01
literally I he's like, yo, you put it outside, he's like, I'm
1:09:04
just going to let it run. And dude, you just saw the smoke
1:09:06
get less and less and less and less.
1:09:09
That shit was the misfire got less and less and less and less.
1:09:12
I didn't compression test it after so I can't give you real
1:09:15
world results, but that shit worked enough to sell the car.
1:09:18
Damn, fuck it bro. You said you had another
1:09:21
Cayenne. The white 10, the white Cayenne
1:09:23
was an animal dude. It was a.
1:09:25
Which one is that Turbo S? Oh, is that one like the V8?
1:09:28
Yeah, the V8 twin turbo, I bought it misfiring at all.
1:09:31
Damn it, dude, I pulled. I was like, were you?
1:09:34
I think you pulled the plug. You're like, oh, valve cover
1:09:37
gaskets were shot cover. Yeah, I pulled the spark like it
1:09:40
was not even the spark plug. The coil pack.
1:09:41
I pulled the coil back. It was just like like that.
1:09:45
I was like dude after the new coil packs, new plugs, new valve
1:09:48
cover gaskets, absolute beast. Total beast.
1:09:52
That car had a shutter too and I put the the transfix in it too
1:09:55
and it stopped shuttering. Go that shutter shit worked bro.
1:09:58
Next time I run. What's the manufacturer on that
1:10:00
that shutter shit? It's just in Shutterfix.
1:10:02
Yeah, instant Shutterfix. Literally called and it's a.
1:10:05
Red just literally, it's a little, it's a little packet
1:10:08
like this. You just you squeeze on top.
1:10:10
Look it up. Look it up, bring it up.
1:10:11
You put it. In you pull this.
1:10:12
Stuff. You can see Shutterfix in the
1:10:13
car, Malcolm. We're gonna try it on your car.
1:10:16
Fuck it, your car. There it is.
1:10:20
Yeah, that's it's like a hot sauce packet.
1:10:22
Yeah. Yeah, it's literally this big.
1:10:24
You're like, yo, this ain't gonna do nothing.
1:10:26
Wait, I've seen this tube before on forums and people have also
1:10:31
said the same. It works that it works shutter.
1:10:34
This shut the. Motor fix.
1:10:35
Transmission not. Not the folder, not the motor
1:10:38
fix. Yeah, yeah, the motor.
1:10:39
Fix works too this. I.
1:10:41
Feel like you trans got a shutter right?
1:10:43
There this one. Right there, that should be 5.4
1:10:46
stars 'cause that's just way better.
1:10:47
Four point. 5. Actually, 54.5 is pretty
1:10:51
impressive enough honestly. Because that means people put
1:10:53
it. In Walmart's website.
1:10:55
Look, that's Walmart's website. So if you go to Amazon or these
1:10:57
or somebody else's fucking website, it's gonna probably be
1:10:59
a 5 because it's that fucking good.
1:11:01
You would? Yeah, you would have.
1:11:02
To see except Ford CVT and DCT. See I used it on the Subaru CVT
1:11:08
network. It's different maybe see that
1:11:12
dude, it works. The genes are different
1:11:13
insights. All right, before we keep going,
1:11:14
let's go back to when I want to hear about your fucking how you
1:11:18

1:11:21
It was the wagon. He said he was going to smoke
1:11:22

Off the record. Off the record, yeah.
1:14:00
This is all alleged and this is not.
1:14:01
Financial advisor. No, no, not at all.
1:14:04
So yeah, so the yeah, back to that.
1:14:08
But the I've I, I total disclaimer, I love Mark Fives.
1:14:12
I love I've had a Mark 62 GTI but Mark 5 dude started like the
1:14:19
whole like bags and stance and yeah.
1:14:23
Stance at the same time. But like we were doing stance
1:14:26
prior, but like it wasn't like and even the dudes that did air
1:14:30
ride did it tastefully. These dudes did.
1:14:34
And then like, I guess social media too ruined it because it
1:14:36
was like very easy to get clout because if you just put it on
1:14:39
bags and a set of wheels, you were all of a sudden the cool
1:14:42
guy when you really didn't put much effort into the car.
1:14:45
The dudes before that that were like you'd go to H2O time like
1:14:48
that was like, oh, me too. You got bags in your car.
1:14:50
Oh yeah, me too. Like with the fucking Honda but
1:14:52
you were going to H2O and dudes with like Mark twos had like
1:14:55
shave Bay fucking Schmidt fucking wheels and on.
1:14:59
That's what I thought it was. Yeah, it was like cool stuff
1:15:02
back then. It was.
1:15:03
And it. Just like became a.
1:15:05
Total fuck fast and that yeah. And then it was like people put
1:15:09
effort into these cars, custom interior, shit like that.
1:15:12
I'm not saying that Mark Five Guys didn't do that too.
1:15:14
There were some that did it, but it like brought in like it just.
1:15:17
I don't want to blame actually, it's not fair to blame the Mark
1:15:19
5. It's more it's more like a
1:15:21
social media thing. It was like people like we used
1:15:24
to, like you would go on the forums and you'd see dudes build
1:15:28
their cars and they would put detail into their cars.
1:15:31
You would wait for dude every month, like wait for performance
1:15:35
VW magazine to come out and you would be like, you'd see the
1:15:37
newest shit. You're like, Oh my God, like
1:15:39
they would blow your mind, like stuff like that.
1:15:41
And then it just became easy, like easy to get just clout and
1:15:44
recognition. And that ruined the thing.
1:15:46
And that ruined H2O because then everyone was just chasing that
1:15:49
clout and recognition, fucking the magazines.
1:15:51
I was like, back in the days people used to go to fucking
1:15:54
Barnes and Nobles. Yeah.
1:15:54
Barnes and Nobles, dude. Yeah.
1:15:56
And you know, you'd have partners with prices and stuff
1:15:58
like, oh, the fool's right now. You think he might gonna order
1:16:01
that? And magazines were 3 bucks.
1:16:02
Yeah. Now they're like, dude, you know
1:16:04
what a? Magazine is like $13, yeah.
1:16:06
Dude, I went to Barnes and Noble fucking magazine year to buy a
1:16:09
bunch of magazines for like the showroom and stuff and I was
1:16:11
like whoa dude, I just spent 200 bucks.
1:16:13
I was like what the fuck? Buy magazines and shit.
1:16:16
This is crazy, but it was like that was it and that that like
1:16:20
then it was like it decayed like everything, like it just became
1:16:25
like and then the the kind of people that were recognized as
1:16:29
being cool and whatever were not like good caliber people to like
1:16:35
represent your scene. So every scene deteriorated and
1:16:39
that's how where we are now. Like so accurate.
1:16:40
You can't fucking. There's no like, dude, remember
1:16:44
like Edgewater back in the? Day.
1:16:45
I was just gonna to ask you. Yeah.
1:16:46
This always gets brought up on this one cuz Frankie's of that.
1:16:49
I was there when it before because dude, you too.
1:16:53
I know you were there. We were there when I was there.
1:16:56
What is that supposed to? I was no this.
1:16:58
I was there when? When water was all Yeah, like
1:17:02
popping. And we were.
1:17:03
Like just starting Starbucks. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:17:06
In that corner. Yeah, yeah.
1:17:07
Like that, you know, against the.
1:17:08
The load. You didn't park there.
1:17:10
That was the Euro guys that parked along the wall.
1:17:12
You parked in the center by Outback Steakhouse over there.
1:17:15
You weren't allowed to park where the cool guys and shit.
1:17:17
So I would fuck, you know, people would have parked there
1:17:19
and then it just became a hot fucking mess.
1:17:22
And it was just like all the way I.
1:17:23
Remember going in like 2008, nine, That was probably when I
1:17:28
started going there. I.
1:17:29
Remember, which is. Probably the start of the crazy
1:17:32
shit I wanna say. What they were saying was that
1:17:34
when they were saying like that was like cops.
1:17:35
No, that was too. That was like the real like when
1:17:37
people they weren't like locking it down and.
1:17:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like right we were.
1:17:40
Going 2000. Nine, 2010 is when there was the
1:17:42
cops on the fucking roof and like, yeah, before.
1:17:45
Getting stabbed on the Facebook group there would be like
1:17:47
stabbing. Remember that shit?
1:17:49
Fucking butt ass naked fuck I. Was literally front row.
1:17:52
Yeah yeah, I was there, bro. She she was in the fishnet shit
1:17:56
with the yeah fucking. Yeah, I was not there for.
1:17:59
This. She was on the roof, I was
1:18:02
fucking. In elementary school, maybe, I
1:18:04
don't know what I'm like. A few years younger, I went to
1:18:07
Edgewater. It was.
1:18:08
Yeah, dude, I was. I was.
1:18:10
Front row for that shit dude. It was crazy.
1:18:12
But the, the dude we, I think the first, I think we were there
1:18:16
05/05/06. It was small because I remember
1:18:20
it was 05 because it was like I remember I was there the one
1:18:24
night and we were hanging out and my buddy John was like he
1:18:27
had a Mark 4 at the time and he was like, dude, he had a Mark 4
1:18:31
GTI. That was cool.
1:18:32
He had a Mark 4 GTI. He got an accident and he had
1:18:35
the insurance cover a paint job and he painted it Java Black
1:18:40
Pearl, the Subaru color. The best black.
1:18:42
And it was like, dude, hot. He had the RH, like the two
1:18:46
piece wheels on it. It looked so fucking good.
1:18:48
The yellow headlights like it was the car was a good looking
1:18:51
car. Yeah, and he had a Dahlbach
1:18:54
tune, Dollbach racing tune. I don't know if someone's going
1:18:57
to remember that. You don't remember Dollbach?
1:18:58
No, dude, they used to have the craziest shit back in the day.
1:19:01
The guy died. He had like A5 cylinder swapped,
1:19:03
like GTI, like a crazy shit. But he had like that tune
1:19:08
because everyone was doing it like GI, AC or APR.
1:19:10
And he got Dollbach, which was fucking badass.
1:19:13
So he's like, yo, he's like we, we were like we heard about H2O
1:19:17
and he's like, yo, you want to go?
1:19:18
I was like, let's fucking go. How he?
1:19:20
Literally. Then yeah.
1:19:21
Holy shit and I remember how. Did you hear just through this
1:19:24
one guy through? Like forums and stuff we knew
1:19:26
because we were on VW Vortex and he's like, yo, you want to go to
1:19:29
H2O? Like now I was like, fuck it,
1:19:31
let's go. Like literally like we went
1:19:33
home. We lived right over here.
1:19:34
We went got a bunch of shit and we drove down like literally
1:19:39
like right then and there. And I remember pulling in and it
1:19:43
was just like whole it, it, it was just like insane, like not
1:19:47
insanity. It was like there wasn't a lot
1:19:49
of people, but it was like the quality of cars.
1:19:52
And that's when the Mark 4R came out, the R32.
1:19:56
And it was just like, that's a nice.
1:19:58
It was like the best car. By the way, I'll make an
1:20:00
argument that's the greatest. Car.
1:20:01
I love that car. And it was just like Windows
1:20:05
down, just like VR everywhere, beautiful, like cars, like
1:20:11
nicely stance, like top quality builds.
1:20:15
And it was just cool, chill people.
1:20:18
What year was that 05/05? Jesus.
1:20:20
Yeah, I was still in high school.
1:20:22
I graduated 06. The Mark 5. 17.
1:20:25
Is so painfully. Accurate.
1:20:29
Yeah, it was accurate. I think that that is literally
1:20:32
when I started to not happen. The next year was like the
1:20:35
beginning of the Mark 5 and it was like and then like 07 was
1:20:39
like the beginning of like the stance.
1:20:41
But I don't think it's when you stopped having fun.
1:20:43
It's just we didn't realize that it was happening while it was
1:20:45
happening. Dude, no.
1:20:46
Now when you look back, you're like, yeah, that was.
1:20:48
Automotive people started to get a bad look, I think.
1:20:51
I'll actually add to that too the introduction of the GTR, so
1:20:57
it's. Like 35.
1:20:58
Or 35 ruined a lot of shit because that thing came and it
1:21:01
was so fast, so easily made fast and dude think when that car
1:21:05
came out it was 70 grand. Yeah, like it changed everything
1:21:10
and then it it became everything became like that was the
1:21:13
benchmark and it was a tuner car.
1:21:15
So then everything was like like the M threes are now dude, like
1:21:20
the. Oh that pisses me the fuck off.
1:21:21
They're so easily fast. So, and where do you?
1:21:24
Have to get M3 right now and you you get a regular B 58 or
1:21:27
whatever, which is cool. That's awesome dude.
1:21:30
It's it's, it's they're incredible cars and I and I want
1:21:33
to take nothing away from them. But it's like then everything
1:21:38
the GTR came in, everything had to be 1000 horsepower.
1:21:40
Yeah. And everyone like, wow.
1:21:43
So that is the reason. Why that happened, I never
1:21:45
thought about that, but that really is, it really is.
1:21:47
I'm kind of because I remember think I was like back then it
1:21:49
was like 600 horsepower was fast. 600 horsepower.
1:21:52
Was fast dude. Formula drip.
1:21:54
We had a a first Gen. I had a first Gen. still as fast
1:21:57
as fuck and I had 600 horsepower bro and I was fucking dude.
1:22:01
It's still fast as fuck but it's like.
1:22:03
Yo, Malcolm, can you see if Frankie's outside?
1:22:04
He's calling me. It's still fast as fuck but it's
1:22:07
like yo. Thank you, Malcolm.
1:22:09
What are you around here at least?
1:22:11
What are you doing with that? That so on top of that, it's
1:22:14
also just like I I was thinking of what other car in that budget
1:22:21
was even remotely near that nothing there wasn't there
1:22:25
wasn't a competitor. The competitor was a 9/11 turbo,
1:22:27
but and it was 150 K yeah, you couldn't get it.
1:22:30
You couldn't get it. So like the full?
1:22:32
Car The. Evo maybe Evo 9 was like the
1:22:34
fastest Evo 8 and 9 was like the fastest tuner car you'd.
1:22:37
See at those, yeah. With no wing.
1:22:39
No wing all the time. But The thing is it took effort
1:22:41
to get to that. Yeah, yeah, you have to build
1:22:43
your motor, build your trans like and it.
1:22:44
Would still have like 500 horsepower, yeah, but.
1:22:49
No, even if they made 800, but it was like there's an effort to
1:22:52
it, there's. Whatever.
1:22:53
But The thing is now every so right at that moment GTR came
1:22:58
out easily tunable dudes are making 1000 few years, they're
1:23:01
making 1500, whatever. By 2011, 2012, everyone's making
1:23:05
1200 plus. And it's just like they're these
1:23:09
dudes now are buying these cars. I don't really think they really
1:23:13
care about automotive like just like the feel of an of a car,
1:23:18
they. Just want to go.
1:23:19
Fast they just want to go fast from point A to point B and
1:23:21
anything that can't do it as fast as that is garbage.
1:23:25
So like everyone's like Subaru's trash.
1:23:27
OK, fucking you know, there's a bunch of cars like this is
1:23:30
trash. This is trash.
1:23:31
OK, but it's like, I don't really care to have 1000
1:23:34
horsepower. Like I, I just want to have a, a
1:23:37
car that I'm comfortable in that's decently fun.
1:23:40
Like whatever, you know, like it's like don't just because it
1:23:45
doesn't, it's not that fast, it's not trash and you're not,
1:23:47
it's not like you're, you can't have fun.
1:23:49
It's like, what do you, you really need 1000 + 2000
1:23:52
horsepower to have fun? I remember when the GT guys used
1:23:54
to. Show up also.
1:23:55
The water. But the GTR was also heavy as
1:23:56
fuck. Right?
1:23:57
It was like it was heavy, but it hit.
1:23:59
Its weight so good it was well balanced No, it was that car was
1:24:02
just it's it still is I I do like them.
1:24:05
I I always have a respect for R35I guess 'cause it when it
1:24:08
came, I remember when it came out.
1:24:09
'Cause it's automatic. Fire.
1:24:12
That's a fire. But it was faster, automatic
1:24:15
than what was on the market for the first time, the.
1:24:17
Only other car that was only other car out of DCT at the time
1:24:20
was a fucking GT. 3M3 had it I think, right or no?
1:24:24
I think M3S came later. I think at the time the M3 was
1:24:27
AV 8. No, the M3 did have this weird
1:24:29
thing. Oh yeah, the M3.
1:24:30
Yeah, D2. That was kind of ACT, did it?
1:24:33
Yeah, it was just. Like a G CTV8, the V8 ones at
1:24:36
DCT, Yeah, it was just everyone was doing it.
1:24:38
Those were hot, yeah. But they like after a little
1:24:41
while when I was getting my like fancy job and out of college I
1:24:44
don't have that anymore like the M3 and the GTR and all that
1:24:50
shit. Pre COVID that was.
1:24:51
Those were like sub M32 especially were sub 40K on ER
1:24:58
dropped. Fast.
1:24:59
For days. Dude, but even but they're like
1:25:03
you could find and M3 back then dude you could like I remember
1:25:08
the leases were like 7-8 hundred bucks.
1:25:10
Fire. That's literally a key. 14 lease
1:25:13
that's now that's insane. I know that's what's that's
1:25:16
what's happening by now. That's what's crazy.
1:25:18
Everything it's like now an M3 is like 1500 a month or what I I
1:25:23
might be wrong. You know, I don't know.
1:25:24
Oh my. But they're 100,000 bucks.
1:25:26
Granted you get the sticker is 100 grand.
1:25:28
Yeah, but like granted it they're Oh no, you mean like the
1:25:31
V8 ones? Nowadays, like the like a
1:25:34
whatever, I don't like the G80, so let's talk about F80.
1:25:38
I hate F 80s. Why do you like that?
1:25:39
Why do you dislike that F? 80 I do like G 80s I wish I.
1:25:42
Like anything G80. Can you pull up F80?
1:25:45
F80 is the one right before the new one with the big grill,
1:25:48
yeah. I don't like bring up a timeline
1:25:49
of M3 he. Has a smaller nose and the G80
1:25:53
has the bigger they're. Yeah, they just look like
1:25:55
regular traffic. Drill.
1:25:56
That's what I like. And then just it's like, not
1:25:58
for. 100 gay not 100 gay 100 gay I.
1:26:01
Don't want to? Yeah, I.
1:26:03
Ain't oh wait, oh, this is the the nostrils.
1:26:06
BMW blog has both of them I. Don't like grill?
1:26:09
I don't like this grill. I like the stock.
1:26:11
Like this bone stock I think is a good looking car to me.
1:26:14
I think that blue one right there looks kind of cool, like
1:26:16
if you just work too. I don't like that grill.
1:26:18
No, the light blue. I just like the light blue
1:26:19
fucking color. I think they're good looking
1:26:21
cars. I don't.
1:26:21
Know look, look at the look at the green and white Malcolm if
1:26:25
you can. It's like, I like this.
1:26:26
I like. Look at the bottom one.
1:26:27
Yeah, I don't. I don't care for this.
1:26:29
She. Looks sick.
1:26:31
I care for it. I.
1:26:31
Can't say the bottom one looks bad.
1:26:33
I can't say it looks bad. Do you like the bottom one?
1:26:35
It just kind of bled to me. The top one just.
1:26:37
Doesn't the top one is just insane like why would they do
1:26:39
that? You know when I like the top
1:26:41
one, when they when they keep the license plate and then it
1:26:43
like breaks it in half and I'm like, oh, OK now.
1:26:46
Either way, now, did they keep going with this?
1:26:48
I remember, I remember when they did that shit and I was like,
1:26:50
what the fuck are we doing? Did they make it?
1:26:52
Did they make it? They did it other cars too?
1:26:54
Or did they just do it with the No, I don't.
1:26:56
Think so. I think it's just that.
1:26:58
Dude, there's a there's an SUV version where the grills are.
1:27:01
I don't. Oh that's the XMI.
1:27:03
Had an X5 M comp. Like a 20.
1:27:05
Three but. I don't think it was.
1:27:06
That sounds awesome. It was awesome, but it was such
1:27:09
a waste of money because it's like I couldn't do anything
1:27:11
with. It I loved those.
1:27:12
Those XMS though, I loved those. You like those?
1:27:14
I don't know why. I don't care for them, like, but
1:27:17
I don't hate them either. Yeah, it's just like they're
1:27:19
cool. Dude, that truck, the the X5 was
1:27:22
awesome. It was fast, it was super
1:27:24
comfortable. It looked good.
1:27:27
It sounded good. It was just like, I need a
1:27:31
pickup truck. Yeah.
1:27:32
There's nothing. Yeah.
1:27:33
And then same price boom pickup actually a lot.
1:27:36
Cheaper. Yeah.
1:27:38
Boom, Denali. It was like way cheaper.
1:27:40
So dude but the newer trucks now have a six figure price tag some
1:27:44
oh dude like easily 6 figure price tag that.
1:27:47
Shit is. Crazy.
1:27:48
It is too much What? The.
1:27:49
Fuck, but they're they also have a lot of cool shit.
1:27:53
Yeah, yeah. Till it breaks, yeah.
1:27:55
Till it breaks. Yeah.
1:27:56
I'm so scared. Of when they do, if that were to
1:27:58
ever happen. I've been hearing shit about
1:28:01
those new GMC, the small one, the Canyon, the the screens they
1:28:04
have in that shit. Like fucking everything.
1:28:06
It just breaks. Oh no, I'm talking about like 1.
1:28:08
Piece Yeah, yeah, I hate anything with the screen.
1:28:10
I'm talking about like more like mechanically or like let's say
1:28:12
you had to replace a blower motor.
1:28:13
I mean, I know the transmissions are blown up the.
1:28:15
Transmitters, the 10 speed suck, yeah.
1:28:17
They're like, oh, it's a 10 speed Allison and like, that's

I probably was waiting in that line pissed as fuck.
1:29:18
Probably. I'm telling you the, the, the
1:29:21
thing that I'm still thinking about is I'm not going to name
1:29:24
any names because like that kid was actually really nice.
1:29:27
But like there's kids in high school that got Mark Fives and
1:29:30

That was a Mini Cooper. Because it was all.
1:30:13
Paramus kids, rich Paramus kids that were getting Mark Fives and
1:30:16
then just absolutely destroying him.
1:30:17
Yeah. And you know what else came out
1:30:19

1:30:35
I'm not gonna lie to you. I.
1:30:35
Don't care, I thought it was pretty cool.
1:30:37
Never. But I've always hated it I've.
1:30:39
Always. I used it to paint my wheels
1:30:40
orange. Dude I mean you couldn't think
1:30:42
about all the things that were cool then like tinted tail
1:30:45
lights. How to be tinted would?
1:30:46
You trade the current world the way it is to go back to that for
1:30:49
with Plastidiv because I would. I probably would too.
1:30:51
I would. I probably.
1:30:52
Would dude it was so calm like. Yeah.
1:30:55
It was just because the Internet didn't take over yet.
1:30:57
Yes, yeah, yes. You know what I mean?
1:30:59
Like social media came out and you were like, what is this
1:31:01
Instagram thing? I don't know.
1:31:01
You have it. No, I don't.
1:31:03
Oh. Yeah, that's the thing.
1:31:03
It took me a while to get onto Facebook too, so it's like.
1:31:06
I remember I think I got Instagram in 20.
1:31:08
It was 10 or 10/11/12. I don't know.
1:31:11
I don't know what it was, but it.
1:31:12
Was around the same time. I know I was like a little late,
1:31:15
but and then I don't know, it was simple back then.
1:31:18
It wasn't a big deal and car. Instagram wasn't even that wild.
1:31:21
No. On forums, yeah.
1:31:22
All the stuff forums. Nissan stuff when I used to work
1:31:27
at sylvia.net. Yeah, Sylvia.
1:31:31
Oh, the best for so the best classifieds.
1:31:34
Yeah, I'm not even a Nissan guy, but they had the coolest.
1:31:37
No way they were dipping kids in. 13 sylvia.net had the
1:31:41
coolest. Shit, it was the best class it
1:31:43
had. Like so much cool JDM shit,
1:31:46
Yeah, And it was like it just like yeah, New York, like you
1:31:49
see like a skyline. It's like New York title
1:31:51
They're. Like yo I.
1:31:54
Was on all those forms. I was on B20BB13 SER back then
1:31:58
and it had the the the I was on the forums of that shit and that
1:32:02
shit too. I started 20 came with I start
1:32:04
20. I like the transition.
1:32:05
Yeah, I didn't know any of that shit.
1:32:07
I just either but the forum was cool as fuck.
1:32:09
That's. Funny, I was on the forums the
1:32:11
like talk about your builds. I was younger, so I couldn't, I
1:32:15
didn't have that car or yeah, yeah, I think that it was
1:32:17
remotely. Still got a build thread on
1:32:19
Sylvia I. Didn't think that was remotely.
1:32:20
The build could update it, but dude, the build.
1:32:22
Thread you would. Just see the threads.
1:32:24
Yeah, it would. Be like Oh my God, this person
1:32:26
did all of this themselves. But that's the problem now is
1:32:28
that like if you post on a Facebook group, it gets archived
1:32:31
so quickly and then it's like you, it's like hard to like keep
1:32:34
up with the shit on Facebook. No, it's so hard.
1:32:36
Back then, you could keep, you had a build thread and you could
1:32:39
update it or somewhat and you knew or some fucking famous guy,
1:32:42
whatever never had it and you could keep up with their shit
1:32:44
and you knew about it. And then you'd go to a show like
1:32:47
H2O and you were like, you're like, Oh my God.
1:32:50
There it is. Here.
1:32:51
Literally, dude. Cool.
1:32:53
I remember there was this, there was this fucking guy.
1:32:54
No one's gonna know him. His name was Jesse Ito and it
1:32:57
was on the Evo M forum. And I was like, he had an EVO
1:32:59
10. And it was like, right when it
1:33:00
came out and me and my buddy Dan were like, yo, we're gonna go to
1:33:04
fucking what was it, St. Wars or whatever?
1:33:05
Yeah, that that show, We're like, yo, he might be there,
1:33:07
dude. And it's like, it's just a
1:33:09
fucking evo with like some shit thrown on it.
1:33:10
And we thought it was so cool, but it was like, yeah, exactly
1:33:12
what you just said. Just like there was excitement
1:33:14
to it. Now it's like everyone's just
1:33:16
jaded with everything. It's so it's, it's hard.
1:33:18
It's like because you. It's just like.
1:33:20
Is it harder? Is it because we're older and we
1:33:21
don't care? I don't I maybe I don't know.
1:33:25
I feel like it's a little bit of both I.
1:33:26
Do think it's B? Maybe we're looking at the new
1:33:28
generation now and shit and we're just looking at that and
1:33:30
we're like, yo, that's so played out like.
1:33:32
You could do so much. Better And I always say that and
1:33:35
I see some cars and I'm like. Yo, you could do so much.
1:33:36
Better Nah, but to them. It's like, yo that shit.
1:33:38
Is dope and I'm like that shit. Looks like trash, yeah.
1:33:41
That's that's growth though, you know what I mean?
1:33:43
Think about like or. But like Brandon's car.
1:33:46
You like Brandon's car is it like I like brendans car now I
1:33:51
didn't like it when he had his slam when he has no no, it was
1:33:54
slammer. I liked it though I didn't like
1:33:56
driving in it, but if I liked the look yeah the look is good.
1:34:00
I. Find a photo of this on
1:34:02
Instagram. What's his thing?
1:34:05
No, it's before. Now it's like a it's like a
1:34:07
Volkswagen. Stand like he was fucking.
1:34:09
Like I thought it was cool super talked and he.
1:34:12
Oh, wait, wait, this is someone that works for you guys.
1:34:14
Yeah, yeah, Brandon, I think, I think he's been here before.
1:34:16
AWAWD dot B mill. Yeah, he brought his wheels here
1:34:20
or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:34:22
AWD dot B Mill. I feel like it's.
1:34:26
Yeah, we know this car. I like this.
1:34:27
Car. I think his car's a badass.
1:34:30
Because you're a fucking Volkswagen.
1:34:31
Actually this is this is super. Slow.
1:34:33
That's that's really. Low.
1:34:34
Yeah, but like, see, I don't mind that though.
1:34:36
So here, here's where I am with the stance shit.
1:34:38
I that looks good. I like stance cars that where
1:34:42
where the car where. They stay like, The thing is,
1:34:47
there's effort, dude, and he's and he's a young kid, like
1:34:50
trying his best and the thing's fucking cool.
1:34:53
Yeah. Yeah, that is, I'm not.
1:34:56
It looks cool like I got it like I have to give it to him like I
1:34:59
can't. Like even the car in the
1:35:01
background I think looks cool. The fact the worst.
1:35:03
Photos, even the these photos are reminding me of a better
1:35:07
time. But wouldn't this?
1:35:08
So that's cooler if he was on, if it was like nauseak and he
1:35:11
had a build thread, Yeah, he said.
1:35:13
Nauseak. That's the.
1:35:14
Thing, but that's. A build thread and photos are
1:35:16
like reminding me of that I don't really see.
1:35:18
Now you get into these like little hard.
1:35:20
Bullshit. Can you click the third one,
1:35:21
Malcolm? I like that.
1:35:23
Yeah, that looks. Nice, I get dude.
1:35:25
I think it's a good load. It's a good looking car.
1:35:27
Yeah, dude, for like he doesn't have an unlimited budget.
1:35:33
Yeah, that is what impresses me the most about when he.
1:35:36
Works for it, does it himself. Dude, he was, I went in there on
1:35:39
Saturday and I was just like, you know, just bringing shit to
1:35:43
the new shop and the he was there like learning how to
1:35:46
rebuild his trans. He's got a GD, you know, like a
1:35:49
six feet apart and like Dave was showing him like what to do when
1:35:52
he was doing it himself. Housing.
1:35:53
Like, that's cool. Like I feel like he's like even
1:35:56
though he's what, 18 years old, like there's like effort there.
1:35:59
Like it's more than just like he's not, he's not mommy's money
1:36:02
and fucking dad. Yeah, yeah.
1:36:04
Dude at 18 I would not have the taste or.
1:36:06
Capacity. Not at all.
1:36:08
To do anything like. No, I was retarded.
1:36:10
Like I I could not do any of that.
1:36:12
At 18 I had my fucking civic. EF24 daughter.
1:36:15
I feel like, I feel like I was like this, like I was trying to
1:36:18
do everything I could like I wanted to like, do.
1:36:21
Everything I had. What did I have at 1818?
1:36:24
I think I'd gotten my Mark one. I think I had a Mark 1 GTI.
1:36:30
Yeah, that's when I had Integra. I got out of the Audi and got to
1:36:33
Integra. That was a good move for me.
1:36:36
That was a fucking downgrade. I loved it.
1:36:40
I loved it because these. 2. DC yeah, I had a GSR VIN
1:36:44
matching every panel, everybody. Oh rich *** Not me, not me.
1:36:49
I mean, I just worked mad hard for it.
1:36:51
I know you want. One I worked mad hard so.
1:36:53
I got all the scream the Boston. Cream.
1:36:58
But moving from Audi to the Honda, I was able to like, teach
1:37:01
myself how to work on the car. It's easier.
1:37:03
I was like, oh, Audi. King like just in the.
1:37:06
Ass, I'll wrench in this. Yeah, Audi, I need to buy like
1:37:08
torques. Yeah, and.
1:37:09
Then as a kid, I'm like I. Got to buy.
1:37:11
I got to buy a tool. For this I didn't know which one
1:37:13
it was. It's crazy, just the amount of
1:37:17
growth. I think that's what it it is
1:37:18
really that we're all older now, DC. 2 is what I think.
1:37:21
It's the four I one. It was like.
1:37:24
The IT. Looked like a four.
1:37:25
Round four round. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:27
I like those. I thought that was sweet, Was
1:37:29
it? Cool.
1:37:29
I think it's like a mix though, cuz these kids you're talking
1:37:32
about the forums and everything, they now it's easier because
1:37:36
they got Instagram. So it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:37
Just go to that guy's page, you know what I mean?
1:37:39
Yeah, exactly. And.
1:37:40
Some people treat their page like a build.
1:37:42
We. We.
1:37:42
Thread. That's true.
1:37:43
So it's kind. Of cool, No, But I think the
1:37:46
excitement of seeing what somebody is bringing, We're just
1:37:48
fucking old. Yeah, dude.
1:37:50
Like expecting. Like here's an example.
1:37:52
Here's an. Example.
1:37:53
Like, yeah, I'm trying sometimes.
1:37:55
We sound really fucking old on here.
1:37:57
We. Sound boomerish?
1:37:57
Yeah. Yeah, so I got we got a three
1:38:00
foot easy, right. And I don't really know a lot
1:38:01
about how to make them look cool.
1:38:02
So I've been like looking up things and and doing this shit
1:38:05
and then like I see someone's it links me to someone's Instagram
1:38:09
page and it's like a page about his build.
1:38:12
Like all it is is his car. That's cool.
1:38:14
And I was like, OK, cool, this is, I guess this is what people
1:38:16
do now and like I'm going through the things and it's like
1:38:18
him showing you like how he installed a wing and like all.
1:38:22
This shit, That's cool. OK, maybe this is what people
1:38:24
are doing. Maybe we're just too boomer ish.
1:38:26
Yeah, we're just out of touch. Yeah.
1:38:28
So like, if you want to contribute, do you know how
1:38:31
fucking hard that shit is? Do you ever try to?
1:38:34
No, I don't know. You're not the one make you have
1:38:36
to have Malcolm or Eddie make this real.
1:38:39
Malcolm how? Long, but it's not all reals
1:38:41
though you. Know what?
1:38:42
But sometimes, let's say it's not a real, just any form of
1:38:44
media that's instructional right now.
1:38:47
If it's instructional and it gets traction, bro, that is the
1:38:50
most clearest set of direction ever.
1:38:53
Yeah. It's like this is it, this is
1:38:55
it, this is it, this is it. And in a minute reel you learned
1:38:58
something new. Yeah.
1:38:59
Yeah. That's pretty powerful, I think.
1:39:02
It is, yeah, but. Also dangerous, I guess.
1:39:04
I don't fucking know however you want to look at it.
1:39:06
The maybe it's different now, but like at the time, at the
1:39:09
time with like the Mark five thing, let's bring it back to
1:39:11
the Mark 5 and like the stands, like the beginning of the stands
1:39:13
thing. It was just like it put a lot of
1:39:15
people up front and like that the cars didn't deserve.
1:39:18
I don't think they deserved it. Like there was very little.
1:39:22
Like you see some shitty cars with like shittily done air
1:39:26
rides or you know, BS coils and whatever and cheapo fucking
1:39:31
tires and whatever and. And then drifting came into
1:39:35
this, the conversation. And then everything got even
1:39:37
worse because now everyone just thought they were a drifter.
1:39:40
Well, I think they had a one. Wheel drive car it.
1:39:42
Was like a. Cheap with the handbrake.
1:39:43
Drift thing, yeah. Like it was like everywhere.
1:39:46
A motorsport. Yeah, kind of.
1:39:47
But then it actually is not. Not it's not like it never is.
1:39:51
If I mean even. I got into off roading thinking
1:39:54
it was going to be a cheap call. Definitely.
1:39:57
Not dude long travel suspension or any type of.
1:40:01
The opposite of being low is more money.
1:40:04
I bought my, they're like, you know, I bought my Land Cruiser.
1:40:07
It was 1800 bucks and it was like, you know, like they're
1:40:10
everyone's like, oh, you know, how much money have you put into
1:40:12
it? I was like, honestly, dude, it's
1:40:14
like we're like Ferrari level territory of shit.
1:40:18
It's like kind of sucks and the thing's always broken and it
1:40:22
you, it's just gets worse. Well, you're a Land Cruiser, is
1:40:25
it? 96.
1:40:27
So it's a 80. It's an 80 series, yeah.
1:40:29
Hell yeah, I had an 82. I bought it for $800.
1:40:32
And it was exactly it was like it was.
1:40:34
A Lake George, it blew a coolant pipe, the heater hose from the
1:40:37
pesky heater hose or whatever it blew.
1:40:40
You're in Lake George the. Plastic tea pipes.
1:40:42
Dude it is so dumb but it lost all coolant and I drove it all
1:40:46
from Lake George totally fine. Carl.
1:40:48
This car is like dude, I had it running to charge the battery,
1:40:54
so charge the batteries. I have a couple batteries and
1:40:56
it's the so I had it running. I didn't know the coolant had
1:41:01
leaked out of it. It was like totally dry.
1:41:03
And Brandon comes up to me and he's like, yo, he's like the
1:41:07
anchors are just is, is is off with the key on.
1:41:09
He's like, did you leave it like that?
1:41:10
And I was like, no, dude, I go up to it and I, it wouldn't
1:41:14
start. And the I, I as I key on the key
1:41:17
back on the coolant needle just goes to the like right to the
1:41:21
top. And I was like, oh fuck.
1:41:22
I was like this shit overheat. So I, I was like, I was like, oh
1:41:27
shit, I think this thing overheated.
1:41:29
So I, I, I grabbed A rag and I put it on the rat cap and I like
1:41:35
slowly turn it expecting like explosion and the thing just go
1:41:39
like nothing in there. And I was like, Oh my God, this
1:41:42
thing, literally, I'm like, this thing's fucked.
1:41:45
I took like a retard. I took cold water and I just
1:41:47
started pouring fucking water into it.
1:41:49
And then I just crackling, popping like the whole like the
1:41:52
everything. I was like, Oh my God, I'm gonna
1:41:53
crack the block. So I just kept going.
1:41:55
I was like fuck it now. You're already here.
1:41:58
And dude, the thing I put water in, it fired right up and I
1:42:03
drove it. Literally a couple weeks ago I
1:42:04
had it, had it. My dad's got some property in PA
1:42:07
where he's got some sheep and shit that he plays around with.
1:42:11
So it's like weird. He's like help me move some
1:42:13
stuff around. So I grab it, turn it on, no
1:42:15
problem, didn't overheat, nothing.
1:42:16
Like perfect 230,000. Those are quiet.
1:42:24
Dude that thing if idling like you forget it it's so smooth
1:42:27
like you forget it's on sometimes and it's like.
1:42:30
That's how the Sequoia used to be before I developed this small
1:42:32
misfire. But I'll fix that.
1:42:33
I'll fix that. That's OK.
1:42:35
Do that header leak too? Dad and they all do that.
1:42:40
They all do that. It used to sound way worse
1:42:42
'cause it's like they rot out at the bottom like.
1:42:44
The collector. I think wait, there's some the
1:42:46
the O2 sensors too they. Sound worse for those like,
1:42:48
yeah, like, you know, it's got good power.
1:42:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's gotta be some fluid you
1:42:52
could get at AutoZone, they could fix that.
1:42:54
Beyond yo Studs all like to fucking ruin themselves and then
1:42:58
taking them off is like a bitch so I've just been living with
1:43:01
it. Just had fuck exhaust paste
1:43:02
everything. Oh.
1:43:03
God no. No exhausted man.
1:43:06
Yeah, exhausted, man. It'll probably work.
1:43:08
Carl lives and dies by Toyota. I love it.
1:43:10
Like that's his. I didn't like that at first.
1:43:12
So I was huge Land Cruiser, dude, I got the bug had bit me.
1:43:16
I still have my 9. I still have my 80, but he knows
1:43:18
how many Land Cruisers have come through my hands, way too many.
1:43:21
And dude, I've like, I was like, yo be honest, they nickel and
1:43:25
dime the fuck out of you. And they've like especially land
1:43:29
Cruisers, they they're not, you have to have money to maintain
1:43:32
them, especially as they get old, you know, like, you know,
1:43:34
obviously they've probably not been maintained most of their
1:43:36
life for 200,000 miles. And then you get get it dumped
1:43:40
upon you and you're just. Just that vehicle though, like a
1:43:42
lot of other Toyotas, are pretty fucking reliable.
1:43:45
They're 100. 1000 miles though. Yeah, but I never heard I don't
1:43:48
talk about Toyotas like this. I had a wait, I I, and if
1:43:52
they're reliable they rot out on you, huh?
1:43:54
Is my porn daddy here Frankie Welding?
1:43:57
Frankie. Is he here?
1:43:59
He's here. Oh bro.
1:44:01
He's working. He's working on Carls knuckles
1:44:02
for his eyes. Yeah.
1:44:05
Stay in here. Do not move.
1:44:06
So like, dude, they I like, I don't know, I've always been
1:44:09
nickel and dime and I was like, yo, I'm like, I'm kind of over
1:44:12
this Toyota thing. I was like, if I'm going to get
1:44:13
nickel and dime, I want something cool, like comfortable
1:44:16
and whatever. I'm like, what's the logical
1:44:17
thing to step on to next is like Land Rover, Range Rover.
1:44:20
Oh. No that.
1:44:23
Yo-yo, he picked up this one, the one that they see yo 1500
1:44:27
bucks or three. I mean, does it work good as
1:44:30
long as it worked? No, no.
1:44:31
No way better than any lane cruiser.
1:44:34
What it's got 230 K. That motherfucker drives it
1:44:37
every weekend to Indiana, that is.
1:44:39
And the only shit that's ever broken on it.
1:44:42
The only shit that's ever broken on it is was inflicted by myself
1:44:45
when I took it off roading. Like the gas tank that I fucking
1:44:48
I like literally like sat on a rock and it dented the gas tank
1:44:51
in and the exhaust. Remember, we're like, yo, this,
1:44:54
this thing like something's wrong, like the cats are clogged
1:44:56
or something, like they had no power.
1:44:59
You'd have to floor it to get anywhere.
1:45:00
And you're like, I was like, oh man, this things fucked up.
1:45:02
And then Raffi got underneath it.
1:45:04
He's like, I think I found your problem.
1:45:05
And the exhaust had the the exhaust from when I slammed onto
1:45:09
like a rock like completely shut like this.
1:45:14
Like dude, you saw LR3LR3? What year is that?
1:45:18
05/05 I don't. Dude, it's hard to believe, but
1:45:21
all right. We chopped the mufflers off and
1:45:23
that shit picked up like 2000 horsepower.
1:45:25
It was like a Top Fuel dragster after that shit and and this big
1:45:28
JC still uses that shit. There's.
1:45:30
Some Range Rover, Land Rover, whatever they will run until you
1:45:34
die and then the other one Dave's that will break R. 20 LR
1:45:38
two We have a black. We have a black.
1:45:39
Dave, now I don't. There's Black Dave and White
1:45:41
Dave, yeah. Yeah, Usually when you get both,
1:45:43
then you're like, all right, well, we got to separate and
1:45:46
differentiate. So black Dave, there's Black
1:45:50
Dave who? And then there's white Dave who
1:45:52
works, who we all work together. And then and then black Dave has
1:45:57
a friend that's Blacker Dave and another white Dave.
1:46:02
Why not call him Whiter Dave? Yeah, young Dave.
1:46:05
He kind of is whiter Dave. Yeah, yeah, cuz, cuz white.
1:46:07
Our white Dave is Portuguese, so he's got a little, he's a little
1:46:10
melanated, but the other one is like Irish or something.
1:46:14
So he's like, he's like very white Dave.
1:46:16
Yeah, that's white Dave. That's a white.
1:46:17
And then the blacker Dave, he's definitely blacker, but he's
1:46:21
like he's loud. You think I'm loud?
1:46:22
No, he's not loud, but he's he's a black white supremacist.
1:46:26
Oh yeah. So he's black, but he he doesn't
1:46:29
like black people. That's dude, I have a lot of
1:46:32
friends. I like that too, which is funny
1:46:34
as fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:46:35
So even though he's. Black.
1:46:37
White. The most racist friends I have
1:46:39
always end up being Korean. How?
1:46:40
Most. Racist what?
1:46:41
The fuck? How weird is that?
1:46:42
What about Malcolm? Korean people are racist.
1:46:44
I used to work in Policies Park. Yeah, and they are the number, I
1:46:47
think Asians in general, like like Chinese and stuff, aren't
1:46:51
they? I mean the older.
1:46:52
Generation of Filipinos we're they're old.
1:46:56
I bring a black friend over. My house, old generation, I
1:46:58
think that's just every that's. Just old generation, yeah.
1:47:00
That's that's normal. I just, we should probably steer
1:47:03
the ship in the right direction right now because you're right,
1:47:05
because we're going to get especially with him, we're going
1:47:07
to get into. All right, let's steer this
1:47:09
back. All right, So, yeah, we weren't.
1:47:11
You leave this shop. You're going over there now.
1:47:13
Now you're with, you're with Jr. You're going to you guys are
1:47:15
going to start tuning. You're working on Subarus.
1:47:18
That was the plan or it became the plan when you guys got
1:47:20
there. Yeah, kind of.
1:47:23
So it was like, it was like Vince was working with us.
1:47:26
He was kind of like, he really like held my hand 'cause I
1:47:29
really didn't know anything and I and he kind of he like helped
1:47:33
with invoicing and stuff like that.
1:47:35
Did you go to? Tech school or anything or no
1:47:38
dude, I worked. I was.
1:47:39
Diner boy dude, I worked in the diners.
1:47:41
He. Said he was Greek bro Wake.
1:47:43
Up I worked diners and then I left the diners because it was
1:47:46
just like, like my dad didn't want me in there.
1:47:48
Like he's just like, you need to go do your own thing.
1:47:51
OK. Yeah, this is my diner.
1:47:52
He knew you were going to end up doing this shit if.
1:47:54
He, yeah, he, he saw the, he's, he.
1:47:58
He always felt he was going to die in the diner.
1:48:00
So he got out too recently, luckily right before COVID.
1:48:05
So he's like, I don't want my kids in here.
1:48:06
This isn't the business for you. He's like, I want you guys to go
1:48:09
do your own thing. And my, my sisters, I have two
1:48:11
older sisters. They went did their thing and
1:48:14
he's like, I don't want you in the diner.
1:48:16
I remember like literally my mom, I, I'd overheard them and
1:48:20
she was like begging him because I, I had no direction.
1:48:23
Like I was, I always knew I was going to do something like I was
1:48:25
going to figure something out. I always had that feeling inside
1:48:27
of me. I was going to figure something
1:48:28
out. And she's like, she's like, you
1:48:31
know, show him the ropes, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1:48:33
And I knew how to run the place. Like obviously I was, I've been
1:48:36
in it since I was like 5, like fucking dishwashing and shit
1:48:40
like that and cutting string beans and whatever.
1:48:41
So I knew the insurance and outs.
1:48:43
But she's like, you know, like make him the heir apparent.
1:48:47
He's like, Nope. Like he needs to do his own
1:48:50
thing. My dad's like, like, not like
1:48:53
you do it your own. Like he's like your own.
1:48:55
He's like, you want a cell phone, you get your own cell
1:48:58
phone. You want your clothes, you get
1:48:59
your own clothes. Like he would did not give me
1:49:01
shit, but the so he was like, do your own thing.
1:49:06
And then I was like, oh, you know, like what?
1:49:10
Thank God, you know, So like after that, my sister who was
1:49:12
working IT, she had gotten me a job in IT doing like help desk
1:49:17
stuff. And she was like, you know,
1:49:20
teach you server stuff, all that, all that crap.
1:49:23
I hated that like the whole office thing, like big office,
1:49:26
big like work, like, you know, corporate shit.
1:49:29
It wasn't for me. And then in the meantime, like,
1:49:32
dude, I, I literally was in my cubicle.
1:49:35
I had my, I had my computer here and I had my laptop here where I
1:49:38
would do all like prime motoring shit.
1:49:41
So like as I was doing, you know, like the work stuff, you
1:49:45
know, like like an e-mail or something would come in or like,
1:49:48
you know, the dudes, whoever was working like my partner's at the
1:49:50
time. Were you doing that when you
1:49:51
were at this shop? Yeah.
1:49:53
Were you doing that when you were at the next shop?
1:49:54
Here. OK.
1:49:56
Just this I move. When we moved there, I was like
1:50:00
here was on phone. I did the full time thing.
1:50:03
It was I'd given I'd I to be respectful.
1:50:07
I was like, listen, I was like in a year.
1:50:10
It was like February like what I think forgot what 2013 or
1:50:13
something like that. I was like, yo, February because
1:50:16
we started here 2010 and then we moved there and I think it was
1:50:21
like 20. I was like, yo, February 2014,
1:50:23
February 1st, 2014, I'm I'm going full time there.
1:50:25
So I'm giving you a year notice. I'll find my replacement, all
1:50:28
that shit. I found my replacement the and
1:50:34
I, I remember it was like, and I was like, OK, I'm going to save
1:50:39
up some money as like, because obviously we weren't, we weren't
1:50:41
making money, but it was like a leap of faith, right?
1:50:43
It was like, it's got to happen now.
1:50:46
I didn't save up any money. And then dude, February came
1:50:48
like that and I literally walked out of there.
1:50:51
Everyone like, you know, buy whatever, they took me out for
1:50:53
lunch and all this stuff and I walked out and I was just like
1:50:58
what the fuck did I do? And I just started dude.
1:51:01
I signed my car and I just my R32, my mark 5R32 and I just
1:51:06
started fucking crying and I cried the whole way home because
1:51:09
I was like, what the fuck, dude? Because I had I'm like, I'm not
1:51:13
going back to the diner. I I like period Like I, I can't
1:51:17
there's nothing for me there. I could I of course, but I also.
1:51:21
No, there's a pride thing there. There's a pride thing and I also
1:51:24
don't. I couldn't do.
1:51:24
It and I don't, I also don't. I I saw how my dad worked and it
1:51:29
was at the time. It's rare now, but it was 24/7.
1:51:32
Like yeah, like I work nights too.
1:51:35
Like when people didn't show up. Yeah, get out of your bed,
1:51:39
you're going to work. Waiter.
1:51:40
Busboy. When diners were 24/7.
1:51:42
When diners were 24/7. So I was like, OK, I was like, I
1:51:49
really didn't prepare well for this let's fuck it.
1:51:52
Obviously I got to go to work tomorrow, let's see.
1:51:54
And I sat down, and then little by little, we just started doing
1:51:58
the you know our thing and you know the.
1:52:02
And you were at the new spot. Yeah, right here in 411 Railroad
1:52:05
Ave. Dinos tunes services, right?
1:52:08
Away, Yeah, kind of like it it it like once the dyno happened
1:52:12
like we started getting like there were some.
1:52:13
Then you're gonna get Subarus because.
1:52:15
We're getting them. Yeah, yeah.
1:52:16
And. And I remember Vince telling me
1:52:18
he's like, dude, he's like, you're fine.
1:52:20
He's like, he's like, because I was like the dyno payment was
1:52:23
like it's over 1000 bucks a month, which back then dude.
1:52:27
Like that's a shit load. That's a shit.
1:52:30
I mean, dude, of course. Then when you're not making any
1:52:32
money, that's. What I'm saying no, well that
1:52:34
that taken out of it back then $1000.
1:52:37
I I'll never forget dude. He goes, he's like Vince is like
1:52:41
don't stress it. He's like it's 5 tunes a month.
1:52:45
Yeah. He's like, that's all it is and
1:52:46
he's like, you'll see, He's like.
1:52:48
The tunes will then bring into installs.
1:52:50
He'll bring in pre dyno inspections.
1:52:52
Like all this stuff. He's like, he'll be fine, don't
1:52:54
worry. Little did I know if fucking you
1:52:58
know it was better than that, right?
1:53:00
Like pretty much off the bat, not like as it is like, you
1:53:04
know, in its last couple years. Well, you guys picked a good
1:53:07
brand. Yeah, it's a great brand.
1:53:09
You got it. You got job security.
1:53:11
Yeah, it's it's a great brand and it's like, dude, I thank God
1:53:15
everyday like how it worked out and like I'll never like
1:53:20
everyone's got their thing, but I like like I have to give Vince
1:53:23
his like Vince win his credit for that.
1:53:27
He held my hand. He was super patient when I
1:53:29
would have killed me if I was dealing with myself trying to
1:53:33
teach stuff. Junior 2 super patient with me
1:53:36
because he knew like, you know, like he's like it's a new
1:53:40
business. So there's times where I can't
1:53:44
pay him. Like he's like, dude, I don't
1:53:46
care. He's like, we're going to build
1:53:47
this shit. And I was like, OK.
1:53:49
And he's just like a lot of times he's like, I don't even
1:53:53
care. I was like, dude, you want to
1:53:54
get paid? I was like, I was like, what's
1:53:55
like the thing? He's like, dude like that
1:53:57

Dude like literally driving it. Vince then pulls the motor, has
1:54:29
head gaskets in it the next day, like running like like nothing
1:54:34
ever happened. And this happened all the time.
1:54:37
Then he got his VA, he got the 15 when the fifteens just came
1:54:40

I took out a loan. I bought the car from him and
1:54:57
the I built it like to what it became eventually before you
1:55:01
know, and then it crashed. And you got that YouTube video
1:55:03

was like a streetcar and dude, the phone and that, that was it,
1:57:02
dude. The phone started.
1:57:04
The phone started going off. It literally went off and dude,
1:57:08
he was like, yo, we're going to go to this is before World Cup
1:57:10
was crazy. And it was like right after that
1:57:12
he's like, yo, we're going to World Cup and I was like, what
1:57:14
are we going to race? And he's like, he calls like
1:57:16
Robin FPS like send me an FP black, sends him an FP black,
1:57:20
throw it on, put like redo the piping for stock location, blah,
1:57:25
blah, blah, blah, blah. Dude, we're there.
1:57:27
We're sitting in lane, we're running the 10:50 index class
1:57:30
going ten 50s on an FP black in a full interior STI.
1:57:33
It's freezing as fuck. We're all sitting in the car
1:57:36
like this, like warming up after in the lanes when there.
1:57:40
This is when there was an index class back then like and posting
1:57:44
it up and just doing that shit and that was the formula.
1:57:47
So that shit really worked. Yeah, it worked.
1:57:49
It was literally dude. And then like, I never heard
1:57:51
this story though, really and it's fucking amazing.
1:57:54
Yeah, yeah. Never AMS had posted it up dude.
1:57:57
Like like it was on their site. Obviously AMS became crazy after
1:58:00
that. I mean.
1:58:01
I remember hearing shit about this, like, and we weren't even
1:58:03
like into that because I was already into drifting by that.
1:58:05
Yeah, yeah. So like, we heard about this
1:58:07
stuff too. I just wanted to show the video
1:58:09
of eggplant. To me, I didn't.
1:58:11
What we saw earlier. That's Christian's car.
1:58:14
I'm still I I'm still friends with him on Facebook.
1:58:16
Oh, there I am. Dude watching this thing almost
1:58:18
fucking lose it right off the front.
1:58:20
I'm like what? Dude to me.
1:58:21
You'll hear me scream because dude, it was like to to so this
1:58:27
was we went to every single test in tune.
1:58:32
Like my that ram literally was at every test in tune, English
1:58:36
town, island, whatever. And we couldn't get an 8 for
1:58:40
like over a year and the literally this was the day I
1:58:47
remembered that the day before. Hold on dude.
1:58:54
I never dude. It was like the biggest monkey
1:58:56
off my back the day before. So oh, that was Junior's
1:58:59
forester. We'll.
1:59:00
Play it after. The dude the, the day, the day
1:59:04
before, I think that was that had to been a Saturday morning
1:59:07
at, at Ako. The day before we were at E town
1:59:12
Friday night test and tune. The car was going 909-0909 O
1:59:16
blowing the rear bumper off. And I was like, and it was like,
1:59:21
it just kept hold. The bumper just kept like it was
1:59:23
like a parachute. So we went back and I'm like,
1:59:27
yo, put the fucking speed holes on 'cause I remember I kept
1:59:30
telling Rafi, I'm like, yo, can we put speed holes on this?
1:59:32
He's like, that's gay. And I was like, dude, I'm like,
1:59:34
I'm like, I feel like, you know, like whatever.
1:59:36
So he kept blowing the bumper up.
1:59:37
So we went back. He put the speed holes on.
1:59:38
It went from 9 up like literally 9 O nine O 9 O to 8 seven with
1:59:42
just the fucking speed hold. It's crazy.
1:59:44
Yeah. Dude so when I see a Honda Civic
1:59:47
like a EG with that shit, watch out man.
1:59:49
Yeah, yeah. And then the, and then the car
1:59:53
just went, you know, we started doing different, we started
1:59:55
messing around, doing different stuff with that car.
1:59:57
If you go back, I think go back to like the the page, yeah.
2:00:05
Or no, I guess like the search. Result Yeah, yeah, right here.
2:00:08
So this is like after that I started like fucking around with
2:00:10
shit. So this I put a a stock location
2:00:14
turbo on it. Oh, you got the real St. bag on
2:00:16
there too? Oh yeah, they're working with
2:00:18
you guys. Yeah, they had actually sent me
2:00:20
the the big precision the 7685 that I had on after this, but
2:00:24
this was just like a fuck around.
2:00:26
So I put a. This is like a literally a stock
2:00:28
location set up that you just put on any car.
2:00:31
And it ran nines. It went nine O 8.
2:00:33
That shit is crazy. It would have ripped.
2:00:36
Dude when he shifted right there.
2:00:38
Yeah, this was 2016. What is it?
2:00:42
I couldn't see. I'm nine O 8.
2:00:47
He's still saying that he's. Still saying that's even cool
2:00:50
that 9. O 8 is fucking.
2:00:51
Nine O 8 on his I like that's like the stock location stock
2:00:55
frame record for Subaru red and evo I think.
2:00:58
So I mean I. The only thing that I knew about
2:01:02
Subaru and tuning was prime for the longest time.
2:01:05
Yeah, because I didn't know a lot.
2:01:07
Like when I had the Integra, friends of mine were getting
2:01:09
like that Gen. Subaru, so whatever that is.
2:01:14
And they were like, oh, I gotta get it tuned, I gotta get it
2:01:16
tuned. I gotta go to prime, I gotta get
2:01:18
it tuned. That's all I knew from like, and
2:01:20
I was like on this side of shit, like nowhere near the Subaru
2:01:25
world. And then it was like prime
2:01:27
motoring. What the fuck is?
2:01:29
If people only knew there's only a few people that know like Dave
2:01:33
Black, Dave Raffi Lynn, like they know the shit we went
2:01:37
through to get to like like there was if we could be at a
2:01:43
test in tune, if the car, the car would get fixed.
2:01:46
We were at the test in tune. So we would like I said like the
2:01:49
night before we eat E town. We didn't get our goal.
2:01:52
Like we did this for like a year plus.
2:01:53
Like dude, I put on miles. On the Hemi.
2:01:57
Literally no, no, no, I had the Cummins.
2:01:59
I had the Cummins at that place. The Hemi wasn't gonna survive
2:02:01
that. But dude, we literally we put
2:02:04
miles on like to, to just get to the track to do it and it broke
2:02:08
so fucking much. And it was just like, yo, like
2:02:11
literally like and then after it was like it was his fourth gear
2:02:14
and still goes fucking 9th. That was the that setup was a
2:02:17
shame. That's what it crashed on.
2:02:19
If you like that one right there, you'll see the turbo is
2:02:22
now in the bumper. Raffi made that bumper like
2:02:25
completely molded it. Car was super fucking light.
2:02:30
It was with driver was 2540 with driver, but they've weighed like
2:02:36
10 lbs. They've weighed.
2:02:37
Yeah, it's super light. 20. This is on a 7685.
2:02:42
Those are some big ass numbers. I don't know anything about
2:02:44
turbos, I'm just thinking that. Loses 4th gear in coast to a
2:02:47
nine seconds. Yeah, it blew 4th gear here.
2:02:51
Fuck, man. Dude, this is the first time
2:02:55
we've talked about anything drag related where it's like, oh, we
2:02:58
would go back to the test and tune.
2:02:59
That's like going to like a a Friday night drift.
2:03:01
Yeah, yeah, but you're going to test and tune.
2:03:03
Yeah. Damn, that's actually
2:03:05
interesting as fuck. I just.
2:03:08
Yeah, When I was first in the cars, this is what we did, too.
2:03:10
We didn't. We didn't do nothing serious
2:03:11
like this, but we would go to these events.
2:03:13
Oh yeah. That was called Ratchet Friday
2:03:15

And then this was like his, this was upholstery only and then
2:06:55
this. And then there was this was like
2:06:58

2:07:05
like body and fab and all. This stuff.
2:07:08
Fuck and he would like dude, he had like there's like template

not like that's like a, that's like you're talking.
2:08:27
He's making like the like he's taking like a frame and making a
2:08:30
car. He's building a car.
2:08:31
He's building panels and stuff like that to come up the IT goes
2:08:35
on subframe in the back. Oh, that's on my Facebook.
2:08:37
That's on my personal Facebook. But the like subframe, a rear
2:08:40
subframe, there's a frame, yeah, sitting in the back with the
2:08:43
hubs. But dude, he's yeah, like, dude,
2:08:45
he's, he's left like a ton of stuff, so.
2:08:47
Legit. That's a legit shot.
2:08:49
That's like a factory. Yeah, literally.
2:08:51
I like that everything is by design 'cause you know, you had
2:08:54
to think about all that shit. Why is the pain body in the back
2:08:57
bro 'cause it's the messiest shit and you put it back there
2:09:01
and now that's that's thinking ahead and like.
2:09:03
I didn't so like when you walk to the second warehouse 'cause
2:09:07
he obviously was added. So there's like the main one
2:09:09
like which was the front. And then there's like there's a
2:09:11
like a drive in door to go to the back.
2:09:14
And there's like the heater up there, like a like an air, like
2:09:17
a fan or something like that. And on it is like an old classic
2:09:20
car and there's like a guy standing on it.
2:09:23
And he had made a comment about it like, oh, that's so and so
2:09:25
whatever. So when I was there and then
2:09:28
like, people keep stopping. Like they're like, oh, you, you
2:09:31
guys are like, you know, like you bought it.
2:09:32
I was like, yeah, whenever they're like, oh, Congrats,
2:09:33
blah, blah. And like the one guy was telling
2:09:35
me like, he's like, he's like, are you?
2:09:38
He's like, are you keeping the Clark Gable picture?
2:09:42
And I was like, yeah. And he's like, I knew who Clark
2:09:46
Gable. I know who Clark Gable was
2:09:48
obviously like, you know, Hollywood, blah, blah, blah.
2:09:52
And then he's like, yeah, he's like, he's like, he did.
2:09:55
So it was a picture of Clark Gable with his Deusenberger like
2:09:58
roadster, like hanging out on it.
2:10:01
And then they, so that car they I guess went like missing for
2:10:05
years and was found as like just a frame, a motor, like, and a
2:10:10
steering wheel. And the dude literally drove it
2:10:13
to him like that like got pulled over and everything and drove it
2:10:16
to him and it was like AI don't know, $3,000,000 restoration.
2:10:21
Oh my God, that took like I don't know how many years to do.
2:10:24
And then it was a car that Clark Gable owned.
2:10:27
So it had a history of like someone super famous owning it.
2:10:32
Yeah, that picture right there, top left, top left.
2:10:35
Yep. So he, so he restored this car
2:10:39
to like this with just the frame motor and whatever they, you
2:10:44
know, they bought what they could, they chromed what they
2:10:46
could, they replicated what they could.
2:10:49
And then the car sold at auction in like 2012 for like 10.3
2:10:53
million or something like that. Like that's what he did.
2:10:56
What like that's the shit this guy did like crazy.
2:11:00
And it's like the, and, and he's like, the only reason he like
2:11:04
gave it up was 'cause he, he's like, he's like, I'm like
2:11:09
working under a, he's like, he's back too.
2:11:11
But he's like, I'm working under a car and he's like my hand lock
2:11:13
up. He's like 75.
2:11:14
He's like, I literally he's like, and they'll just do it
2:11:17
randomly. So like I'll be working under a
2:11:19
dash, my hand locks, and then it's like a while for it to
2:11:22
unlock. So it's like his body just
2:11:24
started. Failing, he's like actually
2:11:26
cannot do this. Actually cannot do.
2:11:28
It and he doesn't have anyone to like take on the.
2:11:30
His kids went on and did their own thing, you know, like they
2:11:33
moved to different parts of the country.
2:11:35
Dude that building is everything.
2:11:37
Yeah, man, so. There's like pictures of this
2:11:39
like everywhere and every like they're like, oh, you're gonna
2:11:41

Day but like how can I say I'm a car guy and then not not like
2:12:18
not appreciate it look at the. Side that.
2:12:20
Shit is crazy, dude. That's just so big.
2:12:22
Yeah. Dude, it's fucking, it's so
2:12:24
cool. It's like there's so much
2:12:27
history there and he's left so much cool shit through like
2:12:29
parts and stuff like motor parts, trans parts, frames, blah
2:12:34
blah blah like. Deals.
2:12:35
Do you all that shit? Do you feel like this is
2:12:39
probably like one of the biggest accomplishments in your
2:12:43
business? I guess.
2:12:45
At least I could say your business.
2:12:49
There's a big move. The fact that we're even here is
2:12:52
like a fucking accomplishment. We're talking about me like, you
2:12:55
know, that we're that we're accomplishing stuff is an
2:12:57
accomplishment. Like I never like, dude, I was
2:13:00
like, I was doing this. I was like, I never thought it'd
2:13:04
be like that. Like we've done some cool shit.
2:13:08
Like it's gotten me everything I've ever wanted and like not
2:13:12
wanted. And then it's just like, dude,
2:13:15
I'd be I was like years ago. I'd be like I remember like
2:13:18
sitting at like I'd be like, yo man, I mean it's like 70 KA year
2:13:21
and like I'd be happy and stuff like that.
2:13:24
And it's just like. Me right now.
2:13:26
Yeah, it's like. That is definitely me right now.
2:13:29
I've bought some cool fucking cars that I've always wanted.
2:13:32
I don't have them anymore because I just fucking a lot of
2:13:35
money, but I had them. I could say I had it.
2:13:38
Gina Taste. Yeah, it tastes.
2:13:41
Good. Yeah, Yeah.
2:13:42
And it's like. Cuz I remember talking to you,
2:13:45
well, I guess it was like two or three years ago and I was like,
2:13:48
are you guys going to buy a building or anything?
2:13:49
And you're like, yeah. Honestly dude, I was ready to
2:13:53
fucking just quit. I yeah, I remember the
2:13:55
conversation. Yeah, we were.
2:13:56
There was one point that I will say that we all.
2:13:59
We all felt. That in the shop that Dee was
2:14:01
ready to like, I was going to quit.
2:14:02
Like what? What?
2:14:03
What? Brought you back.
2:14:05
What brought what brought you to that point?
2:14:07
What brought me to the point was probably.
2:14:10
That's a good question. Just like there is no love for
2:14:15
it anymore. Like it was just like it.
2:14:18
There's no excitement for cars. I don't know, dude.
2:14:27
It was just like, it was just like everything was like dead
2:14:30
inside and it was just like just a lot of stress.
2:14:33
And that was, and do you know what it was, dude?
2:14:35
It was probably the fact that we were, we were busy and then
2:14:39
like, obviously when you're busy with like there's a lot of good
2:14:44
because you're making money, but there's a lot of bad, you know,
2:14:46
bad reviews and fucking difficult people to deal with on
2:14:50
a day-to-day basis. And then a lot of overhead,
2:14:52
which I this is. Literally when we met, you were
2:14:55
going through that because probably everything you're
2:14:57
saying right now is exactly how you.
2:14:59
Were it was the yeah, like it was just like so much shit on a
2:15:02
day-to-day and every week required me to like dude to make
2:15:07
payroll like, you know, all these guys.
2:15:09
Like it's just like it took a lot out.
2:15:12
It takes a lot. And that's why I was like
2:15:14
telling you I was like, yo, do you want to do you?
2:15:18
Do you do you? When you were talking about
2:15:21
moving, I was. Like brought him over here and I
2:15:24
was showing him everything and I'm like his honest opinion.
2:15:27
And I was like, dude, like it's when it's awesome, when it's
2:15:31
when, when, when the, the, the, the overhead is low and the, the
2:15:36
rent isn't fucking $17,000 a month.
2:15:40
And or you know, 5 digits and it's like 3000 or 5000 or
2:15:46
whatever. It's easy.
2:15:47
You do a, a build or two and you're, you're good dude.
2:15:50
You do 2 builds, 3 builds a month and you, you cover
2:15:52
everything. Now you have to do it weekly to
2:15:55
cover everything because and then you take the big, you got
2:15:58
to heat it and cool it and you have to do, you know, like
2:16:01
there's so much more shit that goes to it.
2:16:04
And it was just like every week was just like, dude, it was like
2:16:09
a chore and it, it just was not fun.
2:16:12
And then it just it zacked all the fun out of me and I thought
2:16:17
I would, I would fix it through caught like buying nice cars and
2:16:20
having whatever. And it just made it worse.
2:16:23
And it was, it was just like I was like I was exhausted
2:16:28
mentally. And then the I think as I was
2:16:32
like, fuck all this shit. So and I just simplified my life
2:16:35
again. And this is part of it too,
2:16:38
believe it or not, this is part of simplification.
2:16:41
It it the mortgage on this is half of my rent.
2:16:45
It's in a way easier fucking. It's an it's in an area that I
2:16:49
can that's like easily like you can afford.
2:16:52
So like I could get a nice house there that's not fucking
2:16:55
millions of dollars and you know, bajillion dollars in
2:16:58
taxes. And this isn't that.
2:17:00
Do you know what actually do you know what fixed a lot of it.
2:17:02
I'm not even going to lie, the I, I, I would go home and I
2:17:06
would start gardening. Yeah.
2:17:10
I, I like a pretty, I got pretty crazy into it.
2:17:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I once I started touching
2:17:15
the ground, dude, it was like like people say that like, you
2:17:19
know, you got a hit back into nature and.
2:17:21
Yeah. Yo center you back up like a
2:17:23
shit like that. I got a pretty for being in like
2:17:26
an urban environment like I got a pretty crazy like set up like
2:17:29
I got really into it and then that like really like calmed me
2:17:32
a lot. So it was that was nice too.
2:17:35
So it was like, yeah, that's probably, that's probably what
2:17:39
got me back into like, just like going back into work at like
2:17:43
kind of like, OK, cool. Like.
2:17:45
I have a theory too. I barely know you, but when John
2:17:50
started coming around with you, it seemed like things started
2:17:53
changing a little bit. Yeah, because John.
2:17:55
So I've known, dude, John. I've known since I was, what,
2:18:01
18? He was 17.
2:18:04
He's mark 5 John. He had a mark 5 on R s s but not
2:18:07
Stan. He's probably kind of fast.
2:18:09
He is part of the problem. No, John's GTI was actually
2:18:12
fast. John.
2:18:15
Dude, we used to John and I used to hang out all the time like he
2:18:19
used to work. He you know Frankie Otto.
2:18:24
Yeah, Frankie Beans. Frankie Beans and John used to
2:18:26
work at Stilettos Valet. Of course they.
2:18:30
Did and of. Course, of course, because I
2:18:33
could see John parking. That's where we and I would hang
2:18:36
out with them like there every night there.
2:18:38
And like, that's like, we went back like that and John started
2:18:42
coming back around. And John, do you know what's
2:18:44
cool with John is I could be like, yo, you deal.
2:18:47
Like, and we're not even like, in the same business.
2:18:50
Yeah. But it's like, we're also in the
2:18:53
same business. Yeah.
2:18:53
Sometimes he drives me crazy too because he puts shit on me that
2:18:56
I don't really have time to do. So to explain a little bit, he
2:18:59
is basically you guys are selling cars together and yet
2:19:01
he's also running like a he's. Doing the soapbox, soapbox,
2:19:04
Yeah, so, and he's coming with me to hack it stuff.
2:19:06
Yeah, you told. Me.
2:19:07
So we're yeah, we've been friends, even though sometimes I
2:19:11
want to strangle and we've been friends forever.
2:19:14
Not forever for 20 years. And yeah, he's so he's.
2:19:18
Maybe it was a timing thing, but it seemed, it seemed like, you
2:19:21
know, he came by, you guys started that.
2:19:23
That cock sucker dude, he like cuz I'll get pissed off and
2:19:25
he'll just sit there and laugh and I'm like and it drives me
2:19:28
nuts and then like I'd be like, I literally be like fucking like
2:19:32
kill yourself. He's like, OK, you do it first
2:19:35
and then I'm like. Yeah, you got to meet John, bro.
2:19:38
He's like just a happy guy. He's always happy.
2:19:41
It pisses me off and he's so. Happy it pisses him off, it
2:19:44
makes. Me so mad that he's fucking
2:19:45
happy like to make her miserable and he's just like because I
2:19:49
literally he'll call me and I'll be like what he'll be like
2:19:51
that's not nice yeah yeah I would like to see he called you
2:19:54
he's like at the end of the day he's.
2:19:56
Like what? He's like, that's not nice.
2:19:57
And I'd be like, Oh my God, dude.
2:19:59
So he. Yeah, like.
2:20:02
I'm not gonna say he's helped a lot of it.
2:20:04
He's sometimes made me go fucking nuts.
2:20:06
But it's like, it's nice to have a friend, like a close friend
2:20:09
there, yeah, that you can also talk to and whatever.
2:20:12
And he's. Normal.
2:20:13
Like kind of normal. And he can and he's now sees
2:20:17
like I was like he sees like some of the shit.
2:20:19
And I'm like, you see why I'm pissed off all the time, John
2:20:21
And he's he gets like, like, you know, he's super happy all the
2:20:25
time. And now he gets like you see
2:20:27
someone getting pissed off all the time.
2:20:29
Like you get it right. Like whatever.
2:20:31
Sometimes imagine, like, imagine like not making money, like
2:20:35
there's stretches. You don't make money.
2:20:37
And then like you, they want expect you to be happy and you
2:20:39
just can't, dude. Like it's rough.
2:20:42
And like it's, it's different too than a couple years ago.
2:20:45
Like, you know, I had kids, everyone's like, oh, you know,
2:20:49
with the kids are going to like, dude, the kids, they didn't,
2:20:51
they didn't make the thing better.
2:20:53
Because it's like now I would. Say, make it more stressful.
2:20:56
Yes, it, but it gives you it gives you something nice to go
2:20:59
home too. It gives you like like there's,
2:21:01
there's like. And a reason to leave the
2:21:03
fucking shop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
2:21:06
But it's like, you know, like that's what I used to tell him
2:21:09
because when, when he. With his first kid, with his
2:21:12
daughter and stuff like that, I was like, yo.
2:21:14
I used to tell him I was like, yo, you're gonna be.
2:21:16
He was just like asshole at the shop all the time.
2:21:18
This fucking macho. Man and shit and I was like.
2:21:20
Yo, this little kid's gonna come around, bro, and he's gonna whip
2:21:23
your fucking ass. He's like, yo, it's not gonna go
2:21:25
fucking all this shit. Hold on.
2:21:27
And then? The little girl comes.
2:21:28
Around but I'll never take her to Disney World.
2:21:30
Oh my God, I'll never go to Disney.
2:21:32
Oh my God. Yeah, but she'll tell you.
2:21:34
Daddy go rub a bank for me. I'll rob a bank.
2:21:36
I'll rob the fuck, I'll rob the bank.
2:21:38
But she ain't going to Disney World.
2:21:39
She gave fuck. I didn't go to Disney World.
2:21:41
She don't need it either. The.
2:21:44
Definitely inflict the trauma on the child.
2:21:46
That's like the what you're supposed to do I.
2:21:48
Think I'm gonna inflict the trauma on my son, but not on my
2:21:50
daughter. She's she's too.
2:21:53
She's such, such like a sweet soul.
2:21:55
Like I can't. My son's gonna get trauma then.
2:21:59
How old are they now? She's 5 and he's two OK, but
2:22:02
he's a, he's like a, he's a wacko.
2:22:04
He's like, he's like, he's funny.
2:22:05
So you he's. Funny he's so you had her
2:22:08
personable during COVID. Literally COVID.
2:22:10
I was in the fucking hospital with a mask on.
2:22:12
Oh my. God, I remember how.
2:22:14
Stupid nuts. That did the lot.
2:22:15
I couldn't leave the hospital room.
2:22:17
Yeah, that was a weird time, dude.
2:22:19
Literally, I was like, dude, we had her and I'm like, I stayed
2:22:22
the night and I'm like, listen, I'm going back to work.
2:22:24
Like you're on your own now. Like call me if whatever, 'cause
2:22:26
once you leave, they wouldn't let you come back.
2:22:28
Oh. My God.
2:22:29
So I left like I'm like, dude, I, I, I have shit to do.
2:22:32
Like I can't like, you know, sorry, like I don't do this
2:22:35
paternity leave. What a bad father fucking guy.
2:22:38
Sorry, I went, I'm going to, you know, make a living for you.
2:22:42
But that's the other thing too. It's like I also with it was a
2:22:46
lot of stress also coming on to me because my wife was working.
2:22:50
So then I was like, listen, you know, once it was like I got to
2:22:55
go to work. I was like, how about you don't
2:22:57
go to work, but you stay home with the kids, Like be like,
2:23:01
fuck the work thing. And she's like, I really want to
2:23:02
work. You know, you she has student
2:23:05
loans and whatever. And I was like, yeah, but you
2:23:09
know, like I'd rather the kids have their mom all the time and
2:23:13
like, I'll take a hit on the, on the, the, you know, like the toy
2:23:18
aspect of it. Like I don't need a Ferrari.
2:23:20
I don't need, you know, crazy big house.
2:23:22
Like we're good here. You know, like, you know, it's
2:23:24
like I don't need a, a commute and all this other shit.
2:23:28
I don't wear nice clothes, Like what?
2:23:30
I don't buy expensive shoes and all this other crap.
2:23:33
So I was like, how about you stay home?
2:23:35
And that's what she did. And but at the same time, it's
2:23:38
like it's great for the kids. Too.
2:23:40
It's great for the kids, but now where I didn't have to pay for
2:23:43
groceries and utilities and all this other stuff and it was
2:23:45
like, now I'm paying for the groceries and the utilities and
2:23:48
the other stuff and the cars and the fucking this and blah, blah
2:23:50
blah and hold. On easy now.
2:23:52
Now you're freaking me out and bro that.
2:23:54
All happened right before all this.
2:23:58
You, you started hitting your breaking point.
2:23:59
Yeah, it all makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:24:01
Sounds like yeah, you just have a lot.
2:24:04
Yeah, there's. A lot.
2:24:05
It's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot.
2:24:06
There's a lot. So it's like now it's like I
2:24:10
like, I was like, OK, let me get my mind off some.
2:24:12
Yeah, let me reassess. The situation, so it's like,
2:24:15
let's get rid of all the expensive stuff.
2:24:16
We don't need this stuff. And in the meantime, and at the
2:24:18
same time I was like getting kind of douchey with it too.
2:24:21
So I was like, you know what, like, you know, like I don't
2:24:24
need this. I don't need to have super, you
2:24:26
know, like expensive cars. Like let's get back to the
2:24:29
basics and like what kind of hobby?
2:24:31
I was like, you know, like I just started, like, you know
2:24:33
what, dude? I'm like, let me plant this tree
2:24:35
and I'm like plant this tree and then another tree and then
2:24:37
another tree. Went from the eggplant car to
2:24:39
the eggplant. Literally then I grew some
2:24:41
eggplants and then like some tomatoes and whatever and it
2:24:44
gave me something to do every day.
2:24:45
And then like I started like propagating and doing like, you
2:24:49
know, starting seeds and whatever, but like.
2:24:51
Found another hobby? I found another hobby, me down,
2:24:54
and then it's like, so I have that and then my hobby at that.
2:24:57
Yeah, that's what you think. Yeah, he probably found a way to
2:25:00
make it expensive. That's what you fucking.
2:25:02
Think the whole. Ecosystem going outside of that
2:25:04
garden it really. Is he's got like the best, like
2:25:07
little garden hoe you got? I don't do not a little perfect.
2:25:10
Yeah, my, this is the best hoe right here.
2:25:13
Just just fucking. But yeah, just like that.
2:25:16
It was just like, it was basically like simplifying my
2:25:18
life. And that's what I was telling,
2:25:20
telling you. Like, dude, this shit's fucking
2:25:21
rough, man. Like your shit's crazy right
2:25:24
now. You have a lot of stuff going
2:25:25
on. It's like but you also don't
2:25:28
dabble in the Super expensive shit.
2:25:30
We talked about that too when he came here.
2:25:32
Yeah, he's. Like I did, so it's like, but it
2:25:34
was an itch I had to scratch. Those were the only two
2:25:37
differences between us. It was like you had your you had
2:25:40
a family and you had expensive cars and you enjoyed that shit.
2:25:43
And I was like, I drive AO1 Silverado.
2:25:45
I guess I'm, I was like, I guess that's the only difference
2:25:48
between me and you. And I was like, I guess I'm just
2:25:50
going. I didn't have a choice.
2:25:51
I was like, I'm either going to do this or we're going to have
2:25:52
to find another shop. And I was like, I really don't
2:25:54
want to fucking move. I really don't want to.
2:25:56
I was like, let's just try it out.
2:25:57
Should move, get a nice mortgage.
2:25:59
Much cheaper than rent. Yeah, you own it.
2:26:01
I mean, now you got me thinking, but you got we got to be here
2:26:05
for a little. Bit the.
2:26:06
You just did all of this bullshit.
2:26:09
You got it like, yeah, but you do it like him.
2:26:12
When he moved to that shop, I'm pretty sure you know, it all
2:26:14
took time from a little shop to a big shop.
2:26:17
You went from a little shop to a big shop.
2:26:19
Now you got to fucking work into it.
2:26:21
And then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I mean, my
2:26:23
the reason I asked you that original question about do you
2:26:26
feel like you accomplished 1A a a big goal of yours is because
2:26:30
one of my goals forever is that I want to own.
2:26:34
Do you know what's? Crazy dude, I'm not even going
2:26:36
to lie. You can ask my wife too.
2:26:37
We we signed the paper. We are the lawyers signed the
2:26:40
papers and she's congratulations.
2:26:41
I was like, OK, yeah. It was just like.
2:26:45
She got to go fuck. I really just.
2:26:46
But that's how that's how most business owners are with
2:26:48
decisions and like stuff. Yeah, like accomplishments.
2:26:51
It's like we don't really think about it.
2:26:52
We just keep going. What?
2:26:53
What's the only thing that probably gets me excited is like
2:26:56
if I buy some like shitty car, like shitty comes out when it
2:26:58
comes out fucking banging. You know?
2:27:01
I got AV 70 RI fucking love it dude.
2:27:04
It was like I was like 2 grand. I was.
2:27:06
Like dude, get a good deal on a cheap car.
2:27:08
Yeah, yeah, that's the only thing that kind of like, and
2:27:10
that's the other thing when I got rid of the fucking nice car
2:27:12
is it was like I bought like I forgot what I bought something
2:27:17
cheap and shitty and I just had such a good fucking time with.
2:27:20
I think I bought the Cayenne, the white Cayenne and I was just
2:27:23
like drove it everywhere. It was a three.
2:27:25
It was like supposed to be blown up, but it's not.
2:27:27
That's how I felt when I had AI, had ASTI like AO5, STI, and
2:27:31
every time I would drive it, it was mint.
2:27:34
It was like mint condition, original paint, everything.
2:27:37
And every time I drive it, I'd be like careful and yeah, yeah,
2:27:39
yeah. And I was like, I'm fucking over
2:27:41
this shit. Fuck this.
2:27:42
And I got that 01 Silverado and I was like, this is the best
2:27:45
decision of my fucking life. I can park it anywhere I want,
2:27:48
leave the keys in it. I don't fucking give a shit.
2:27:50
Like whatever, let people. Cruise nice too.
2:27:52
It's like maybe you go on a fucking like cruise and you're
2:27:54
just like, yo, this is nice. But just not having to worry
2:27:56
about some dumb shit like why did I have a Subaru STI?
2:27:59
I didn't even need it. A nice one, yeah.
2:28:01
Yeah. If I were to own 1, they'd have
2:28:03
to be a turf. Yeah, like I didn't need that.
2:28:05
I was drifting. I was doing this.
2:28:06
I was like, I don't need this. I need a truck so I can fucking
2:28:09
put my drift car in the back of it and go, yeah, across the
2:28:11
country. Like I don't need.
2:28:12
In the end, it's simplification. It's just going back to like the
2:28:15
basics and it's like the even like the building.
2:28:20
Honestly, it wasn't even in my radar up until like a couple
2:28:24
months ago. Like I went on vacation this
2:28:26
year. I didn't think I was going to
2:28:27
come back and like, find a building.
2:28:28
Yeah, it was just problems with the landlord and parking and
2:28:31
stuff like that and got in a fight.
2:28:33
And then I was like fuck this shit.
2:28:34
And like went online and like I saw it and I was like, oh shit.
2:28:38
Like I had looked at other ones too.
2:28:40
Like I went to see head masters like on 46.
2:28:43
Yeah, shit. But dude, I was like 2.48
2:28:47
million. Like I don't want to be a slave.
2:28:49
To a building either for the. Rest of my life like that's and
2:28:52
I don't have that fucking commercial mortgage down
2:28:55
payments 35%. Yeah, it's like, that's why I
2:28:57
was just like, I don't know when that's. 35% of I don't have that
2:29:00
shit. Yeah.
2:29:02
Dave, I was just trying to do some quick math, that is.
2:29:06
A So commercial mortgages are crazy 'cause they don't.
2:29:09
So it's it's a balloon payment. So it's a big down payment and
2:29:13
then it's, it's amortized over a certain amount of years, but
2:29:17
then the the loan is called due in a smaller amount of years.
2:29:21
So it might be amortized over, it's like a 15 year mortgage
2:29:25
schedule, but then it's due in five years with a huge balloon
2:29:29
payment at the end. But what people do is they just
2:29:32
refi. So every single time.
2:29:34
So like 5-7, ten years, you have to refinance.
2:29:36
So you're like, you're always in a perpetual cycle.
2:29:40
So with this building, I wrote the letter, I met them and I was
2:29:43
like, would you, would you hold the, the, the loan for me?
2:29:47
And they were all about it. And they with like a reasonable
2:29:51
down payment, a reasonable schedule, like an affordable
2:29:55
payment, an affordable interest rate, No jumping through hoops.
2:29:59
They met me. I was super honest about what my
2:30:01
business was like. They saw what we do and I was
2:30:04
like they saw my you know, I was like, I have good credit, like
2:30:07
I'm not a slob, Like I do shit right, Like, you know, like and
2:30:11
I you know, I have collateral if you need.
2:30:14
So it's like at my home, whatever.
2:30:17
So like they were all about it. Like they just wanted it to go
2:30:21
to someone that would use the building like they did and like
2:30:26
would continue it and like had a family and it'd be like they're
2:30:30
going to be working here one day too for child labour.
2:30:35
That's why you had two kids. Oh, there's going to be more
2:30:37
kids. Yeah, Child labour.
2:30:40
Exactly. That was like meant to happen.
2:30:42
Yeah, it was 100%. Like I'm super religious.
2:30:46
Hell yeah, there we. Go like the but yeah, it's.
2:30:51
That's cool dude. Ohh cool man.
2:30:52
I'm I'm upset you guys are leaving.
2:30:54
Like it kind of sucks. You're not.
2:30:55

2:31:19
I'm way less patient than you If I've kept him around for what?
2:31:23
No. It would have been eight years.
2:31:24
The the problem is I know he knows his shit so that's that's
2:31:27
why I'm like it would be it would be a smart idea but I
2:31:30

2:35:18
milk, their own meat, their own produce, their own things.
2:35:21
They have trampolines, they have fucking everything.
2:35:24
And we're just sitting there and like, I'm, I'm literally like,
2:35:27
we're sitting there. I forgot.
2:35:29
Just like I think we, she got ice cream or something.
2:35:33
And it was like people passing by, like you see nice cars pass
2:35:39

2:35:58
playground, the pumpkins, the fucking this that everyone, it's
2:36:02

calm and, and you're just like, yo, I can live here.
2:36:11
That's. What I want?
2:36:12
Super fucking nuts. It's it's you got to leave this.
2:36:16
Area like you got to leave by the tri-state area that people
2:36:19

2:36:20
'S I wanna live in PA bro I want big magazine.
2:36:23
I looked in PA, dude. Yeah, I looked in PA too.
2:36:26
I went to see a few places in PA and it was just like a little
2:36:29
kind of too out of the way. Not for me.
2:36:33
I like thought of like he's having a hard time he.
2:36:37
Thought of you. JD.
2:36:38
People. But I thought of all of them,
2:36:41
dude, because they're all like. NAV is fucking in.
2:36:44
Queens is 3 1/2 hours, he's at 3 hours, so.
2:36:46
What's his deal? Yeah, what's gonna happen?
2:36:48
So actually conveniently Navs mom sold the house, selling the
2:36:53
house, they're moving to Long Island.
2:36:54
So now he's going to actually, he's looking to move into this
2:36:58
area 'cause this girl still works into in the city until
2:37:01
they find something closer up. But he's looking like he's
2:37:04
looking to move out this way. So, but I, I was like, I want to
2:37:10
think of everybody too, but I also have to think of the shop
2:37:13
as well. And I was like, I got, you know,
2:37:15
like I knew there was going to be collateral damage in the
2:37:18
whole move thing. It's like you got to kind of
2:37:21
like some of these guys, it's like the commute's the same for
2:37:24
them. Like they live a little further
2:37:25
that way. Raphael's like, I actually was
2:37:29

2:37:51
No choice. Yeah, you guys are pretty much
2:37:52
like tied together. He's.
2:37:55
Got no choice. But yeah.
2:37:58
Yeah, it's it's a big, it's a big move.
2:38:00
You know, it's not like if once you do, I've done the the trip
2:38:03
like dozen times, like it's not that bad, but like it's
2:38:06
initially I've done it a few times on the weekend, I've done
2:38:10
during the week and shit like that.
2:38:11
But I've done it on the weekend here, even on the week I've done
2:38:13
it a couple times. It's not bad.
2:38:15
You're just like around here, you're just like you're going
2:38:17
like you're just like moving with like the congestion, like
2:38:21
the congestion is there just moving.
2:38:24
But then once you hit like past like Parsippany, it starts
2:38:27
opening up a little bit, and then once you pass 35, it's
2:38:30
like, wow. It's open, yeah.
2:38:31
Dude, it's right where that cop sits.
2:38:34
In between where? Yes.

Everybody knows that. Fucking that one.
2:38:47

2:39:04
see when you're flying back the. Other thing is the 287 traffic
2:39:08

2:40:50
It's not like. Did you have you seen the MG
2:40:52
shop? That place is funny as fuck.
2:40:54
No, you'll like one of these days you'll take like a wrong
2:40:57
turn. That's how I saw it.
2:40:59
But like you take a wrong turn and it's literally just, I don't
2:41:03
know what they do with the MGS or if they're all his or if
2:41:05
they've never been cycled around.
2:41:07
So like just a line of like MGS and you're just like, what does
2:41:11
this guy do with these? This guy just live in the That's
2:41:13
you. That's literally you.
2:41:14
That's gonna be. You.
2:41:14
Yeah, hopefully, which is Subarus.
2:41:16
Which is Subarus, yeah. And like a multitude of other
2:41:19
like flavors of cars. Mark two Yeah, Volkswagens.
2:41:22
But like that's, I think like when you go to those places
2:41:25
where life's a little more slowed down, like in the, we're
2:41:27
gonna call that the countryside. Jersey of.
2:41:29
Course, like those are the people that still will work on
2:41:35
their own shit. They will go out to like places
2:41:37
where they need yeah, I'm good. But like, they'll get they'll
2:41:42
they'll do the things that they're that's you.
2:41:45
It's us. Yeah, yeah, that demographics.
2:41:47
I hope that works out for you in the long run.
2:41:51
Maybe I just need that slow down for a while.
2:41:53
A little bit, yeah. It might be good just to get
2:41:55
your brain. I think your.
2:41:56
Customers are going to follow you.
2:41:57
I think you're 90 to 95. Just bad.
2:42:00
Super there's. There is.
2:42:02
I think so too because we do get a lot of customers from like.
2:42:05
Far away, Everett. From Florida, we're going to I
2:42:08
know for a fact and I know for a fact we're going to lose a lot
2:42:10
of New York City guys because they don't travel because they
2:42:14
they really don't because they they look at New Jersey as like
2:42:17
far away as like far like it's all like this right here is like
2:42:21
that's. Farm.
2:42:22
That's the sticks. What the fuck?
2:42:23
They really do. So they're just like, wow, one
2:42:26
hour. Because they don't.
2:42:28
And they're think about it, dude, if you live in New York
2:42:30
City, you're riding in traffic 24/7.
2:42:33
You're going sub 25 all the time.
2:42:35
It's hell. So when you get out here and you
2:42:38
have to do 80 and you could do 80, they'll never go drive with
2:42:41
Nevada, dude. The speed limit is like Mach
2:42:45
fucking 10 to them. So they're that's why you see
2:42:47
them just like in a row in the left lane, terrified.
2:42:51
So they're not going to make that trip.
2:42:52
I kind of like understand that they're going to have a hard
2:42:55
time. Some are, but.
2:42:56
Dude, there's the the Pennsylvania Subaru group is
2:42:59
going to be nice, I think from that side of because now you're,
2:43:04
you're opening that. Yes.
2:43:05
You're opening up a whole nother.
2:43:07
Lot of it, but those guys do travel and they come here.
2:43:09
We do get a good amount of PA guys, so it's just gonna be
2:43:11
easier for them. But we'll see.
2:43:13
We'll see. What?
2:43:14
We'll see what happens. Dude, it's gonna be sick.
2:43:16
We gotta get the faggots from. Faction to come up.
2:43:18
I was gonna say we're gonna have to start building Subaru engines
2:43:20
over here or something. Not.
2:43:22
Stay in your lane. Stay in your lane.
2:43:26
You want me to come over here and you fucking take your
2:43:28
client? Does motherfucker say hey, what
2:43:29
do you do? That's why he's going to offer
2:43:31
you. That's why, dude.
2:43:32
That's why he wanted you to stay and stick around because he's
2:43:34
going to offer you out and. You know something about these
2:43:36
pewers, right? Dude, they got a pain booth over
2:43:38
there. I might.
2:43:39
Not have a podcast with the pain booth down?
2:43:42
Damn it hot too. Is it is it way smaller or is it
2:43:46
just? It's not way smaller so.
2:43:50
Like square footage wise I guess.
2:43:52
No, it's like almost the same. The there's now an actual where
2:43:56
like the stone barn that I showed you is like the engine.
2:43:58
There's a finally like an actual engine room.
2:44:01
So now there's like away. Will that remain then like
2:44:05
that's and that? Will remain the engine room fire
2:44:08
there's already like you know like oh that's the clean where
2:44:10
all the machines are right yeah yeah yeah that's.
2:44:12
That's. Shit.
2:44:13
There's so then the center section where it's kind of it's
2:44:15
low ceiling, so you couldn't put a lift in there or anything like
2:44:18
that. That's gonna that's actually
2:44:19
gonna be Gearbox soapbox stuff. Cool.
2:44:22
So that he's renting that from there.
2:44:24
There's we have two offices upstairs.
2:44:26
It's gonna be 1 for me, one for him.
2:44:28
Still offices upstairs. Still offices upstairs, but
2:44:31
actually the waiting room is downstairs now.
2:44:33
Oh, it's actually getting yes, it's it's getting built
2:44:36
downstairs in the other shop. So now the other shop is like
2:44:40
it'll be like 123 lifts waiting room here that you can access
2:44:44
from the front. And then there's the back where
2:44:46
there'll be another lift, a dedicated fabrication area, and
2:44:52
then one drive in door for alignment, another back drive in
2:44:55
door for dyno. OK.
2:44:57
And then in the back it's all fenced in like for cars.
2:45:03
Yeah, we got to come by. Yeah, check this place out.
2:45:05
That's gonna end up moving there.
2:45:07
Walk away. Yeah.
2:45:08
Back to. The property next.
2:45:10
Door. No dude, I know we were joking
2:45:11
but I'm. Shocked though for that.
2:45:12
You like, that wouldn't be on your radar over there because
2:45:15
you do drive bikes. So it's like kind of like.
2:45:17
Yeah, while you were talking about it, that's all there's.
2:45:20
A lot of cruises up there, a lot of cruising up there.
2:45:23
So it's like, it's almost like, but you guys are made.
2:45:26
You guys talking about that fast life and all that stuff, I
2:45:28
actually enjoy that. I was about to say, you're a
2:45:31
freak of that nature. I did too.
2:45:33
Yeah. I was like, but I did too.
2:45:34
And then I guess like, you know, like, I guess just like the fat,
2:45:37
like you're still good here. Like, and also you, you don't,
2:45:41
you don't have kids and stuff too, so this is your baby.
2:45:43
So it's like you can still tolerate this stuff.
2:45:45
Like I have like once life gets more complicated with stuff, I
2:45:49
needed to like, I need to slow my brain down a bit.
2:45:52
So it's like, that's why I was like, I, I loved it here
2:45:55
forever. I've been here my whole life.
2:45:57
So it's like, and I, I never thought I would actually leave.
2:46:01
And even when I almost left in 2018 to go up that that route,
2:46:05
it was like, like kind of like I.
2:46:08
Don't know. Yeah, you're fighting yourself.
2:46:09
I was fighting, so it was like, wait, man, it's going to be
2:46:11
fucking quiet this fucking night.
2:46:12
You don't need to like. That's.
2:46:14
What I mean, you've always lived by 21, you're a PPP.
2:46:16
You know, like, I mean, I like I remember this one time we went,
2:46:20
me and my girlfriend went to this cabin like up in New York
2:46:22
State, whatever. We spent like a week in there.
2:46:24
Fucking awesome time. It was nothing like this.
2:46:27
And then once we get back down here, I just, I was like, I
2:46:32
guess I should be mad right now, but I'm like, don't feel mad.
2:46:35
I'm like, oh, this is better. Now there's like people fucking
2:46:37
getting in car accidents. I'm like OK, this is good.
2:46:39
It was like, how do you say that?
2:46:40
Because. I felt like I grew up.
2:46:41
I grew. Up in New York, I grew up in the
2:46:43
Bronx and stuff like that. I was in the Bronx until I was
2:46:45
16. Years old, you grew up in that
2:46:47
chaos. And when I moved, you know, I
2:46:49
understand you people. When I moved to Jersey, I
2:46:51
couldn't sleep by night for a while because I didn't hear the
2:46:53
fucking, the cops, the fucking, the gunshots, the fucking.
2:46:56
Yeah, like that noise in the background always make.
2:46:59
There's always some kind of noise in the background.
2:47:01
Then I got used to it. And then over time I was like,
2:47:05
no, actually quietness. Is a little.
2:47:07
Bit, yeah, yeah, yeah. Even before I get older, you get
2:47:09
older with kids and stuff like that, you know, But even before
2:47:12
I had kids, I think I, I, I, I was a hot mess before I handed
2:47:16
my kid out because I was in clubs and, you know, whatever,
2:47:20
doing the stupid shit. I had my first.
2:47:22
Child, I wasn't in her life, but I was still getting like I was
2:47:25
like, all right, I'm done with the club life and shit and I
2:47:27
started liking the quiet life. Yeah.
2:47:29
Like you get to a point, you get to a point, it's just maturity
2:47:32
at that point. You know, something hits you and
2:47:34
and you're like, all right. Like I enjoy, I enjoyed being
2:47:36
there for sure. Like, I, it was so nice.
2:47:38
It was like, oh, it's so different, you know, and it's
2:47:40
quiet at night and the fireplace and all the like.
2:47:42
I'm like, yeah, I really enjoy this.
2:47:44
Could I live like that? I don't know.
2:47:47
I would love to live where I rent.
2:47:48
I've been there for so fucking long.
2:47:50
You've seen where? He lives in a, he lives in like
2:47:53
a middle ground where it's like he's pretty close to.
2:47:56
I live like in Watchung, like near Watchung or like Morris.
2:48:01
County. Yeah, it's nice.
2:48:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gets to get there, but he's
2:48:04
still. It's kind of like quiet.
2:48:06
That's nice. Yeah.
2:48:06
It's like 40 minutes, 50 minutes from everything.
2:48:10
It's like. You're in the middle of.
2:48:11
Everything Packetstown. 50 minutes to here, Yeah, fucking 2
2:48:15
hours to South Jersey. 40 minutes to E Town 40.
2:48:17
In the middle of everything, it's good.
2:48:19
But growing up in the Bronx is a different story.
2:48:20
Yeah, that's that's another level.
2:48:22
Like if I, if I was, if I, if that was me, I'd probably be the
2:48:25
same way you are right now where it'd be like, OK, I'm kind of
2:48:27
over this shit, you know what I mean?
2:48:29
Like that makes more sense. So.
2:48:30
Dude, like being where Alex is, like in the PA area, yeah.
2:48:33
Like he's like right over the Delaware.
2:48:35
That's nice that I love it. Yeah, that's where, that's where
2:48:39
my brother-in-law and and sister live, like right over the
2:48:44
border. Yeah.
2:48:45
Like he's on the Delaware. It's so nice, dude.
2:48:49
They have such a nice house and like it's such a nice
2:48:51
neighborhood and it's like it's like 2 minutes to hop back over
2:48:56
the Delaware and just like you're in New Jersey and it's
2:48:58
like, yo, what a perfect spot. I just like I don't even it's
2:49:03
the property there. I I didn't think that I would be
2:49:06
such a big fan or have such a yearn to have land, but just to
2:49:11
have land so that I can do things that I like to do.
2:49:13
I can't walk out of. My.
2:49:15
House right now in my underwear to go start my car.
2:49:18
You could definitely do that now.
2:49:20
Now I will, yeah, once. But I'm saying I'm still here, I
2:49:24
thought. You meant like at your?
2:49:25
Yeah, but until I move there, it's fully like I'm here, like
2:49:30
my whole life. It's like, oh man, I gotta.
2:49:33
There's always someone watching. That's what I always said, put
2:49:35
my clothes on to fuck. Well, he said like he has like
2:49:37
the opportunity to go like what He's saying like, oh, I can't
2:49:39
come out of my house in my underwear, turn my car.
2:49:41
And he has you know, he's like he said he's in the middle
2:49:43
ground, like he's in a good and battery and stuff like that.
2:49:46
And I'm like I. See that?
2:49:47
Because. You know, I want to be in the
2:49:48
backyard with a bonfire going and.
2:49:50
Yeah, yeah. You know, or or just having.
2:49:52
People come over and barbecue and just whatever, just chilled
2:49:54
in the bag I have. Yeah.
2:49:55
I want to barbecue my shirt off. Yeah, yeah.
2:49:57
You know it's fucking hanging you.
2:50:00
Know you could do that. Man, you do that fucking know.
2:50:02
I could, yeah. You know I can't.
2:50:03
Do it yet? But I.
2:50:05
I will be. I always say it's like, it's
2:50:07
like when you live here, it's like someone can always be
2:50:10
watching you one. 1000. Percent.
2:50:12
That would always. Like someone could always be
2:50:14
watching you. There's not.
2:50:15
There's not a moment where you're outside and you know no
2:50:20
one's there. There's never that moment.
2:50:22
Yeah dude, sometimes I'll just the spot that I'll take a piss
2:50:25
in like at night outside of my garage.
2:50:27
You cannot do that with the daylight, but at night you can
2:50:30
cuz there's nobody. Yeah, like for some reason now,
2:50:33
the night, the silence of the night, like when you go to your
2:50:36
new spot, the farm. Yeah, it is on.
2:50:41
But I, I know of it too, because we, dude, we go to like when I
2:50:46
go back home to Greece, like when I go there, I'm.
2:50:49
Oh, silent. It's.
2:50:51
Yeah. And we're on the island.

2:50:53
So it's like all you hear is like the owls, like, wow, like
2:50:58
whatever is going to be quiet. So I'm used to it and I love it.
2:51:01
And it's like you look up and you actually see stars.

2:52:12
You'll do something with it. Yeah, I started throwing it
2:52:14
through. I've done a fucking number on

2:52:19
last month. Like I was just like stressed.
2:52:21
I was like literally I think it was like a Saturday.
2:52:23
And I'm like, like we haven't closed on the building or
2:52:26
nothing. And I knew it was like the move
2:52:28
is imminent and I'm like, oh, like I'm like stressing out.
2:52:30
And I was like, dude, that's a fucking big ass move.
2:52:32
Yeah, of course I just started. I literally, I was like, I got
2:52:35
my car, I drove here and I just started throwing like back and
2:52:38
forth to the dumpster, throwing shit, throwing shit out,
2:52:39
throwing shit out. You got a liquidate some shit,
2:52:42
get rid of it. Yeah, so 'cause I and I bought
2:52:45
the dumpsters for scrap, so I've got like I got the dump.
2:52:48
Yeah, you tell me about that. I've been going, yeah, that
2:52:50
should've been that came in clutch.
2:52:51
So have were you, were you doing that like on the side too?
2:52:54
Like scrapping shit for other people or no?
2:52:57
Or is it just for years? Sometimes I like I put if I see
2:53:00
scrap in like the side of the road for garbage, I pull over.
2:53:02
I take that. OK.
2:53:03
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 'cause you were like you like.
2:53:05
Barbecues and stuff. He's like, you got any scrap

2:53:39
profession. It's the I love doing it too.

find the garbage routes like the garbage days of certain towns
2:53:48
especially like Rutherford where just like hoity toity like and
2:53:51

2:54:43
most. Dude, I had my dually my 3500
2:54:46

2:54:49
It was not delete was factor deleted.
2:54:53

2:54:54
Bought it like that our concerns I think I.
2:54:56
Bought it like that the the but dude I I would load.
2:55:02
He knows, dude. I would load up, yeah, see you
2:55:06
later. It it would take me like 40
2:55:08
minutes to get there. I'd unload by hand. 40 minutes
2:55:12
back. I'd fucking load up again.
2:55:14
Like that was like. But I love doing it.
2:55:16
Was you think United is fair with the prices?
2:55:19
You know, he's actually better than them.
2:55:20
OK, good. Yeah, United's very fair.
2:55:22
He actually the other day he was like, and he's like, he's like,
2:55:25
dude, he's like, what the fuck? He's like, he's like separate
2:55:28
this shit. And I was like, I don't have
2:55:29
time right now, dude, I'm moving.
2:55:30
I'm like, and he's like, you make more money.
2:55:32
I was like, yeah, I know, but I, I, I'm, I don't have time.
2:55:35
Like I gotta leave, dude. Yeah, yeah.
2:55:37
Merry Christmas, dude, I'm dumping this shit.
2:55:38
Yeah. And he's like, OK.
2:55:40
And he and he actually changed my rate to like, give me more.
2:55:44
So it was like, they're super nice.
2:55:46
Yeah, yeah. But like, you know, you see
2:55:47
dudes there all that with like air conditioning and stuff like
2:55:50
that pick up truck make a quick buck.
2:55:52
And just tons of shit. There's no excuse not to dude
2:55:54
fucking pillage your shit. Yeah, and then they come here
2:55:58
and they fuck us in the ass and yeah, here's 20 bucks.
2:56:01
Oh. Fuck no dude, no way.
2:56:03
They come and they come come pick up your side.
2:56:05
Get the fuck out of here dude. And that's what I've been doing
2:56:08
for the last year because I've been just fucking lazy.
2:56:10
I'm like. That get a little dump trailer.
2:56:12
Yeah, I mean, we, I could use my truck.
2:56:14
We've been using my truck for a long last.
2:56:15
But I'm saying like you can have a little dump trailer that fills
2:56:17
up, hook up, go dump, come back, dump it that that way like you
2:56:23
have like somewhere instead of it.
2:56:24
You know how it like piles up in a corner sometimes?
2:56:27
Yeah, that's the problem around. You don't want to drive around
2:56:29
in your fucking. Truck No.
2:56:30
No. Fucking shit in the back.
2:56:31
Yeah, just get a cheap little dump trailer we have.
2:56:33
Like a corner over here where we just put aluminum and fucking
2:56:36
metal and it just, it fills up so fast and you're like, fuck,
2:56:39
yeah. Go and go.
2:56:40
I got some toe worms I got to throw in there today.
2:56:42
Yeah, yeah, throw them in. They're.
2:56:43
Fine, they're dying. Pennies.
2:56:46
It's like I'll be like a dollar maybe.
2:56:49
It all adds. Up dude, it adds up.
2:56:51
I just need. Somewhere to put it where it's
2:56:53
not my garbage can, my garbage people are.
2:56:54
Really nice. It's honestly like I would I
2:56:57
would love if I had the time, I would do it like all that.
2:57:01
I would start a business and it was just like pick up people's
2:57:04
just junk that's. What your son's going to do when
2:57:06
he gets his license. I honestly, I'm going to make
2:57:08
him. I've said it to, I've said it to
2:57:09
my parents, my wife. I'm like when they get a like he
2:57:12
has to get a truck. Yeah, like he has no option.
2:57:15
He has to get a pickup truck and he's going to be scrapping.
2:57:17
Like I don't give a fuck that you like it's the it's humbling
2:57:23
that you like when you dude, and I was doing it when I had my
2:57:27
nice shit too, like I was put like, how do you I paid for the
2:57:31
there's times where payments were made with scrap, with scrap
2:57:34
money. Like I fucking I moved shit, I
2:57:37
moved literal weight of metal. So the it's like people are just
2:57:43
lazy dude. But like you see a refrigerator
2:57:46
go literally put in your you have a pickup truck, put that
2:57:48
shit in your truck and go to United and just dump that shit
2:57:50
off. Make 20 bucks.
2:57:51
Like, it's easy, yeah. So I mean, it's good advice,
2:57:54
honestly. Trying to think where I have.
2:57:56
I think a buddy of mine has a little fucking single axle guy.
2:58:00
I'd fill that shit. If you had a little fucking
2:58:02
trailer like that, you just throw shit on like.
2:58:04
Yeah, yeah, I got fucking big gooseneck and I got 3 dumpsters.
2:58:08
It's a rollback, it's a roll off.
2:58:09
So you fucking hook them up, pull them up, wow, go over
2:58:12
there, hit the button, goes yeah, fucking dumps it out.
2:58:15
Yeah, it's nice and easy. I used to do it by hand.
2:58:18
That shit sucks. That's exactly where I'm at.
2:58:20
That's what that's. What I would fucking do you.
2:58:22
Guys at a time. That's why I'm like, that's why,
2:58:24
yeah, I gotta look at Malcolm. I'm like, yo, we gotta do scrap.
2:58:26
And it's like, fucking just wait for that guy to come by and just
2:58:30
give me the 40 bucks. Dude it's funny cuz like the
2:58:32
other like he pays you $40 and he makes like 300.
2:58:34
Because it'll take us like, a fucking hour to do this, and
2:58:37
then the phone's ringing, no one's answering it, And then we
2:58:39
get back and we're like, yeah, we made 60 bucks.
2:58:41
Like, this is fucking retarded, you know?
2:58:43
Like, I don't know, It depends on how much you have.
2:58:45
You know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah.
2:58:46
If you have a good place to store at all.
2:58:48
Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, but.
2:58:49
I'll make one of these fucking two 40s hit the wall and then
2:58:52
cut them up and scrap them like like I took like I threw out
2:58:56
like a shit ton of like engine harnesses, those engine
2:58:59
harnesses, the. Other day.
2:59:00
Oh, there's like copper in there, Yeah.
2:59:02
Now do you have to strip it though or?
2:59:04
Would you just do that whole engine harness?
2:59:05
I don't fucking have time. Yeah, that's what I whole engine
2:59:07
harness dude, 200 bucks. They're just all bad harnesses,
2:59:12
some good, but I don't get fucked.
2:59:13
Just extras like. Yeah.
2:59:16
And just got those skylines there.
2:59:17
You were digging for the which skylines I don't.
2:59:19
Remember going there once you had skylines in the back?
2:59:21
I got nothing. Dude, no, they're empty.
2:59:22
Yeah, yo. There's no skylines there.
2:59:25
I remember the first time. I went there.
2:59:26
I was like, oh, it was a Subaru shot.
2:59:27
Then we went to the back or some or I think we someone was
2:59:30
getting tuned and I'm just walking around.
2:59:33
Yeah, right. Along and I was like the fuck?
2:59:34
GTR back here. Like what the hell that.
2:59:37
Was Raffi's that had a 2J in it? Is that the one I saw on your
2:59:39
YouTube? No, but that one was silver or
2:59:42
something. Silver.
2:59:43
Oh, that's Gens. Gens still has that.
2:59:45
That thing had like 900 horsepower or something on
2:59:47
there. It's like AT50H K ST51R kit like
2:59:50
shit built motor it's nice. I wanted to talk about that a
2:59:52
little bit, but I know we're getting pretty, it's getting
2:59:54
pretty late, so. We get questions.
2:59:56
Oh shit, RIP through some of these questions.
2:59:57
So we could. Send her home.
2:59:59
I totally forgot about. That my pack of cigarettes at
3:00:01
home is calling me bro. This thing is that my pack
3:00:04
parlance? Lucky strike right now, OK?
3:00:06
If you smoke parlance, I was gonna.
3:00:07
Say I don't smoke. Parlance What did?
3:00:09
You use to smoke Marlboro red Marlboro actually.
3:00:12
So my first cigarette I ever had was a Newport.
3:00:14
Big I had my Newport. Everybody had a Newport.
3:00:16
You know how I fucking? Started smoking.
3:00:19
I they someone had they're like, yo, a snowstorm, a nor'easter is
3:00:23
coming. Do you wanna plow at the ports
3:00:27
in Newark? It was like 20 bucks an hour.
3:00:29
It's like, fuck yeah, dude. Hell yeah.
3:00:31
Donuts, coffee all night. Yeah, no problem, dude.
3:00:34
We all go there as like a group of people.
3:00:35
It never snowed, but they paid us for the whole night and there
3:00:39
was some dude there. He's like, you guys want a
3:00:40
cigarette? I was like, fuck it, sure.
3:00:42
How old are you? 18.
3:00:43
Young man, something like that. No dude, I didn't cough.
3:00:47
I love that shit. It was awesome.
3:00:50
It was immediately. Everything I thought it was
3:00:52
gonna be, it was like fucking. It was like God reached down
3:00:55
from heaven and pet me. Yeah.
3:00:57
And I was like my. Bitch, yeah, and I was.
3:00:59
Like yo, this shit's great and that was it.
3:01:01
And then I started smoking Marlboro Reds and then after
3:01:03
that I became a pussy and I started smoking Marvel
3:01:07
Ultralight one hundreds because I was trying to like.
3:01:10
Ultralight. Ultralight one hundreds.
3:01:13
That's like what I did with. When Newport came out, because
3:01:15
Newport Medium you want from Newports to Newport Mediums and
3:01:17
I'm like there's no different. My girlfriend at the time would
3:01:20
smoke ultralights so we would and for us to make economy like
3:01:27
and not spend a lot of money we would share.
3:01:30
So it's like I need like a happy medium.
3:01:33
She wouldn't do lights and I didn't like lights because
3:01:35
lights always stunk after. I feel like that you smelt worse
3:01:39
with lights for some. Reason I fuck with Marlboro
3:01:41
Light a little bit, they're OK. They're OK, but I was like, she
3:01:46
smoked ultralights. I was like, okay, but I need
3:01:48
like an ultralight 100. I need a little extra length to
3:01:51
this stuff so I would smoke ultralight.
3:01:54
Probably burned for fucking ages bro, and you had to probably
3:01:58
pull on that motherfucker. Nah that shit was sweet,
3:02:00
ultralight and you can smoke more of them.
3:02:03
Okay. So it was like I just enjoyed
3:02:06
the process of smoking. And you enjoyed this, the old
3:02:10
fixation I was. Just I was just a smoke enjoyer
3:02:14
and so I didn't care what I was like, oh, you're gay?
3:02:17
I was like, I don't give a fuck honestly.
3:02:18
Like you still drink fruity. Like I still like Malibu rum,
3:02:21
that shit fruity as fuck. It's nice.
3:02:23
Like the Malibu room is good. Yeah, that's something funny.
3:02:26
But people tell you like, yo, you're gay.
3:02:27
It's like, OK, I'm gay. I drink like Malibu, my Malibu
3:02:30
fucking Bay Breeze, and I smoke my Ultra Lay 100.
3:02:33
What's the problem? Yeah.
3:02:34
I had new I'm. Doing a good all the time shit
3:02:36
I. Don't know why all.
3:02:38
Right, We got a lot of people in here congratulating you on the
3:02:41
new. Show.
3:02:41
Thank you. That's versus live, no.
3:02:42
No, no, I'm looking at the questions that we put up on
3:02:45
Instagram. Oh, OK.
3:02:47
So you got that a. Lot of people like fuck that
3:02:49
guy. No no no, actually almost none
3:02:51
of that. Almost.
3:02:55
Someone says I missed the RB26 swap, Subaru and R33 and those
3:02:59
are the videos. Well I saw me and Malcolm saw
3:03:01
the Subaru 1 today. That shit was crazy.
3:03:04
Which one? Can you just bring that up
3:03:05
Malcolm on YouTube? It was a BRZ or something.
3:03:08
Oh, my FRS, yeah. What the fuck I didn't know
3:03:10
about that shit. Really.
3:03:11
No, it was literally you swapped the whole drivetrain from a
3:03:15
thing from a GTR in there. Carl, look at.
3:03:18
This you're at the. Bug.
3:03:21
You still have this. No, no, I So after this I've.
3:03:25
How many views does this have by the way?
3:03:28
20K. What the fuck?
3:03:30
That's a lot. Where do you see 20K?
3:03:33
Right around. Oh, there's another 10620K Bam
3:03:37
20 bam, no. So that's all-wheel though?
3:03:41
All-wheel, yeah. The full Tesla drive line in it,
3:03:45
so it's like R33 everything. Like we cut out the floor, like
3:03:49
boxed it out. That's so.
3:03:51
Crazy. That thing drove like shit.
3:03:54
So so it was so hard to drive. And do you know what was the
3:03:59
worst part? The stupidest thing I ever did.
3:04:01
So the I couldn't I couldn't roll down the window because if
3:04:06
I do a pull the whole all the exhaust would come into my face.
3:04:09
Oh yeah, yeah. So I fucking was miserable.
3:04:13
Oh, this was the first time it it was working.
3:04:15
This is when we moved in there. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
3:04:20
I remember that. And no one was so clear.
3:04:22
Did anyone do that before you guys said that?
3:04:24
No. No, they were the first one.
3:04:26
Yeah. And then so after this, I
3:04:28
actually I was like, I want this to dry.
3:04:32
I wanted it to be light like I was on AI.
3:04:35
I'm always of stickler with like lightweight stuff.
3:04:37
I was like this thing drives heavy, drives like shit.
3:04:39
I hate it. So I put AK series in it.
3:04:42
Turbo K series. We put we did a Raffi welded a
3:04:45
new floor plan on it, floor pan on it.
3:04:47
I think if you X out, go all the way up to the like the to well,
3:04:53
to be done, to be done. Oh no, it's RB.
3:04:56
Yeah, I did AK Series A Turbo K in it and that show was awesome.
3:05:00
That was good. It made like 450 on pump gas and
3:05:04
it was like I think it weighed it was like 2400 lbs like around
3:05:06
there. Did you when you did the RV, did
3:05:08
you use AFRS subframe or what did you it?
3:05:12
Was like a modified FRS subframe, Like it was a total
3:05:15
bastardization. It was everything.
3:05:16
It was Rappy's engineering. Because yo, you bring up that
3:05:20
card to Rappy bro and he's static.
3:05:22
I hate that card. Like he wants this.
3:05:24
He's like, I fucking hate that car.
3:05:25
It was cool, but it went right in.
3:05:28
Really. The rear diff was the easiest
3:05:29
thing. It was super easy, yeah.
3:05:31
A lot of these Japanese cars, the diffs are pretty.
3:05:34
It's changing. The back was that's like
3:05:36
started. We were like, this is easy,
3:05:37
Yeah. Then the rest was just like,
3:05:39
hang on. Yeah, I don't know that shit.
3:05:40
Blew my mind. When I opened that up, I was
3:05:41
like, did I? Give you that intake manifold.
3:05:44
Probably. Did it have a slash in the back
3:05:46
of it like it was cut? Shorty.
3:05:48
Wait, maybe I was looking at. Another I give you like a yeah,
3:05:50
yeah, I give you like a billet. I think it was.
3:05:51
Yeah. Yeah, it was that one.
3:05:52
Yeah. Well.
3:05:53
That's crazy, dude. What?
3:05:54
The fuck? There you go.
3:05:56
Yeah, remember that? I was like, I was like, I'm
3:05:58
definitely not scrapping this. I was like, yo, go give it to
3:06:00
faction, Yeah. Maybe we could find A use for
3:06:03
it. Yeah, that.
3:06:04
Thing is crazy. Put it on the wall or.
3:06:06
Something. Yeah.
3:06:07
It's sweet, yeah. Literally, dude, it was like, I
3:06:09
remember when he machined it, it was just like, like a huge piece
3:06:12
of fucking yeah. Yeah, someone looked at it the
3:06:14
other day. They're like, is this billet?
3:06:16
Like, yeah, they're like what the fuck?
3:06:19
What was I gonna say? Oh, who does your paint work and
3:06:22
shit? That engine bait look pretty
3:06:23
good. Fuck.
3:06:24
The whole GAR looked great. He's boy did it in his bait in
3:06:26
his, in a pop up tent in his in his backyard.
3:06:30
It's funny. So I was talking to Raffet.
3:06:32
Today. And we were.
3:06:34
On his Instagram and he's like, yo, I haven't posted in like
3:06:36
fucking forever and shit, Rafi. So we were going through his
3:06:40
fucking Instagram and he was showing me all his VWS and shit
3:06:43
like that, and that car popped up.
3:06:45
So that car was white? Yeah.
3:06:47
Oh, OK, it. Was a full colour change.
3:06:49
I like that colour. Like.
3:06:50
Everything and he was showing like Grabber.
3:06:52
Blue the new one or. FJ Cruiser Blue.
3:06:55
Oh, really? Yeah, like the.
3:06:56
Yeah. Oh wow, it looks exactly.
3:06:58
Like the new one and the and Rafi's like it's not really
3:07:02
hyper blue. And I was like, what color is
3:07:04
it? He's like, it's Toyota blue.
3:07:05
And then he like gave me like a thing of the paint and then had
3:07:08
like the thing on it and I was like, oh, it's that FJ Cruiser
3:07:11
blue. And I'm like, it looks good.
3:07:12
Fuck it. Yeah, I love that color.
3:07:14
I'm kind of glad it was that because then they came out with
3:07:16
a hyper blue, so I was like, oh, they probably got it off your
3:07:19
fucking design. Yeah, they.
3:07:20
Could have. Yeah, they probably got it off
3:07:22
this fucking car. That was the one I wanted.
3:07:24
I saw the GR86 in that color. I was like, I kind of like that
3:07:27
blue. Yeah, it was nice, but I did it
3:07:29
before then, so. Things I trust.
3:07:33
Think this is not a comment. Things I trust less than my
3:07:36
ex-girlfriend. Boxer engines.
3:07:38
Yeah, sure, you got it. Sure.
3:07:41
I get it, dude. I get.
3:07:42
It I'm going to go to another Subaru thing.
3:07:45
Best H6 Subaru motor EG or EZ 'cause I know you guys swapped.
3:07:52
We did easy 36D stroked with a three liter crank so it's like a
3:07:58
3/2. I don't know Raffi's.
3:08:01
EZ 30 was good 'cause stock motor was awesome man.
3:08:03
Like 700 stock motor. Yeah, yeah.
3:08:07
Rafi, Rafi, Rafi. Built the he built that.
3:08:11
He and he built the he did a built motor.
3:08:13
It would always blow up. So he would put a junkyard stock
3:08:15
EZ 30 in it and it would make on a 6870.
3:08:17
It would never blow up. And no, that sold the car.
3:08:19
The dude fucking still drives it like it never.
3:08:21
He was like he's like it's on low booze.
3:08:23
Like what's low booze? Like a $900 motor never blew up.
3:08:26
Yeah, EG is cool. EG is a great motor, but the
3:08:32
it's like what you what are you going to do with it?
3:08:34
The problem is it's also too long.
3:08:36
It's longer, so it's very hard to make it fit and it's also
3:08:40
old. So it's like getting parts for
3:08:42
it is is harder. Easy is easier.
3:08:45
It's timing chain. The like AI don't know.
3:08:49
It really depends on how much power you want to.
3:08:51
I would personally go with like an easy.
3:08:53
I would I I would I would love if I go turbo I'd probably do an
3:08:59
easy 30 if I would do if I were I would.
3:09:02
I would also love to just swap like do an NA easy 36 build with
3:09:06
like like I TVs and like something like that.
3:09:10
I think would be really cool probably make like 300 something
3:09:12
wheel fun. You guys should it sound like it
3:09:15
was something sounds so good like that Outback the other day.
3:09:17
It was sounded so fucking good yeah the wagon the little wagon
3:09:20
I think the header with like a single like exit exhaust sounded
3:09:23
so fucking. It was surprising.
3:09:24
We were like. It sounds it was quiet.
3:09:26
It was like it was loud, but it was comfortable loud.
3:09:29
It like howled. Yeah, it was nice and I posted a
3:09:32
video of it, but it wasn't as in person it was sounded like I was
3:09:35
like yo. I never think about NA Subarus
3:09:38
like that. But flat 6.
3:09:40
Point. Yeah, yeah.
3:09:42
Yo, even the regular Imprezas like like a like a O6O7 Impreza
3:09:47
like man like 5 speed like you put it on a set of coilovers
3:09:50
like you and good brakes like you.
3:09:51
Have fun. Yeah.
3:09:52
Oh yeah, definitely people again.
3:09:54
People chase power. Yeah, someone said.
3:09:58
Can a Subaru Steelership tell you attuned tell you, I think.
3:10:02
I think he's trying to ask can they tell if it's if you tuned
3:10:05
to VASTI if you flashback to stock after?
3:10:09
Yeah, yes, they can. They're they coded and
3:10:12
supposedly the new ones 100%. So the new, new ones like the
3:10:16
VBS, they actually, they literally have like a snitching
3:10:20
system inside of them to tell you every like high SRPM.
3:10:24
Like, so like, we had a dude that actually like, money
3:10:27
shifted his car and it said like, oh, the white, the white
3:10:29
one, right, Yeah. Yeah.
3:10:31
I was like, yo, you fucking wanna shift this shit?
3:10:32
He's like, yeah. And he's, I was like, when he's
3:10:34
like, so and so I was like, yeah, the car's telling you like
3:10:36
it tells you like everything it. Sounds like a black box in.
3:10:39
There. Yeah, pretty much.
3:10:40
Yeah. Jesus.
3:10:42
Christ. Dude, the VA, listen, the VA you
3:10:44
can get away with it because they kind of check with like key
3:10:47
cycles. So there's like times we put
3:10:49
cards back to stock for customers that have gotten
3:10:51
warranties and it's like, listen, dude, you got to like
3:10:54
cycle the key a bunch. Like you turn it on, turn it off
3:10:56
if it, if it's turn onable, like if it turns on and shit, it's
3:10:59
like, you know, try to make it look like it just you didn't
3:11:02
just and I'm like reset the ECU or something like that.
3:11:06
And if they do just say like all the battery was dead and they've
3:11:08
gone away with it. But a lot of times they can
3:11:10
tell. But you can.
3:11:12
You just got to put stick to your story.
3:11:14
Yeah. Don't fold.
3:11:16
Cobb tuning or ECU tech? Which one would you recommend
3:11:21
for what? No, nothing added.
3:11:23
It depends What Car the but Cobb.
3:11:29
Yeah. It depends on the car, on the
3:11:31
setup, but Cobb, dude, Cobb. Going for some crazy shit, maybe
3:11:35
ECU tech or no do a. Stand alone at that point, Yeah,
3:11:39
you're. All crazy, yeah.
3:11:41
Would would Dimitri ever build a drift Subaru chassis?
3:11:45
Not I, I'm I'm sorry, dude, I. Don't I?
3:11:48
There was a guy. Back in the days that had.
3:11:49

Was a lot. There's a lot.
3:11:51
There's a. Lot of them in Connecticut.

3:12:13
Saw Dave has one white Dave this is what.
3:12:15
We're gonna do. You guys are gonna build the
3:12:17
engine, we're gonna build a car and we're gonna come together.
3:12:20
Oh, the Subaru, yeah, we could do that.
3:12:23
It's you. It's honestly a downgrade over
3:12:25
to like an SR20 or something, but we could do it.
3:12:28
No, no, yeah, don't build me no crazy 800 horsepower.
3:12:30
I want to. Get an 86 I.
3:12:32
Mean if you want to do something like that, yeah.
3:12:34

3:14:16
Talking about we got to get crazy.
3:14:17
That's nice. Yeah.
3:14:19
Like this is what it needs to be crazy if we're going to do this.
3:14:21
I see. That's what that that's Hawkeye.
3:14:23
That's Hawkeye. Yeah, yeah, but the hero sport.
3:14:26
Hawkeye with 0 sport body kit. OK, that probably, yeah.
3:14:31
Yeah, type in Hawkeye STI 0 sport body kit.
3:14:44
The first one, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
3:14:46
This the best front end? Yep.
3:14:48
Yeah. Incredible.
3:14:50
That dude, that grill is taking in all the motherfucking hair.
3:14:54
Holy. Put a front mount on that bitch
3:14:55
though, dude, you on the right set of wheels like it's got a
3:14:58
you got to put like a nice set of wheels on it though.
3:15:00
But then it looks fucking see, like I love the.
3:15:02
Voltex, the Voltex with that, Yeah, those are that white one
3:15:05
up there. Malcolm, go up.
3:15:07
Yeah, that's that's nice too. Oh wait, is it?
3:15:10
Minus the fenders. Yeah, minus the.
3:15:11
I like the charge speed one, that orange right?
3:15:14
There, Yeah, Charge speed was another option.
3:15:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know.
3:15:17
We'll figure something that looks.
3:15:18
Too. No, not that one.
3:15:19
There's one below the Hawkeye. 10 Go to that, go to that white
3:15:23
one right there. You just love that big ass
3:15:25
fucking groom. Hot dude, that front mount is
3:15:28
the size of a baseboard heater. That is.
3:15:30
The Oh yeah, I. Don't know if we're going to
3:15:34
agree on that front bumper. This is a huge the probably the
3:15:37
largest front mount I've ever seen.
3:15:39
And the back end's fucking fired the back.
3:15:41
End is sick. I like the.
3:15:43
I like the rear, yeah. Bro OK we got to figure this
3:15:46
out. One day when I have disposable
3:15:47
income, we'll circle back around do.
3:15:49
Yeah, new GDS is nice. 05 Cooper S 1st car.
3:15:54
Trust me, I don't. Anymore at the time too, $40,000
3:15:58
fucking first car. Yeah, no.
3:16:00
No, no, it was like a $20,000 car.
3:16:02
That looks good. Wait, go back to that white one.
3:16:05
The only one was fucking nice. I like the legacy I I agree on
3:16:09
that body one. Yeah, I like that one.
3:16:12
That legacy lowered on some like nice 18 inch wheels like a flat
3:16:17
compromotive style. Yeah, would look sick.
3:16:19
With like a with A6 cylinder on IT BS would be insane.
3:16:23
Would be perfect. That's the perfect car for me.
3:16:25
I'm cool. With that, we're going to need a
3:16:27
turbo for a drift car, though. That's fine.
3:16:29
Yeah. All right.
3:16:30
Let's see thoughts on the FB 25 C swaps.
3:16:36
Yeah. What is that?
3:16:37
Man the so you're taking it so you do in on an FA20 like a
3:16:44
WRX15 whatever 15 to 21 WRX. You could do an FB25 block out
3:16:51
of an Impreza out front sells like a closed deck.
3:16:55
They do closed decking for them and they do like custom Pistons
3:16:58
rods for them. So it bumps displacement up to
3:17:01
from a 2 liter to 25. They work really.
3:17:03
So you get, yeah, if, if, if you're in the market for like,
3:17:07
if you're going to build your FA 20, that's a great option
3:17:12
because it's it, it literally plug and play.
3:17:16
OK, I'm looking at some crazy question right now about a
3:17:19
horse's Dick at H2O. Yes, so that the horse's name
3:17:22
was Benson. So I was arrested.
3:17:25
That was the last time I went to H2O.
3:17:27
What? Wait, wait.
3:17:29
Let me hear this story. What the fuck is going on?
3:17:32
Yeah. So the I was coming out the
3:17:35
secret when you grabbed it. No.
3:17:37
Let. Me tell you the exact story.
3:17:40
What? I heard the story.
3:17:41
He grabbed it. No, no, no, no.
3:17:44
We were coming out of secrets. Obviously I was drunk.
3:17:46
The, and they were, it was like the last year I'd gone H2O.
3:17:51
This is I think 2014. So it's mayhem, right?
3:17:55
So they had the cops out on the horses and shit and Benson
3:17:58
dropped trout on everybody. Benson is the horse.
3:18:00
So he just fucking laid out his shit.
3:18:03
So I went to take a picture of his Ding Dong.
3:18:06
Like it was fucking massive. So I, I like literally like
3:18:09
reached like that and the cop grabbed me by the shirt and,
3:18:13
and, and literally grabbed me by my shirt and like tossed me to
3:18:16
his boy who handcuffed me. So as that as I'm going away,
3:18:22
obviously I just like, I, I was like, I threw my phone to Lynn.
3:18:26
I was like, yo, take it. And I was like, I'll I'll see
3:18:28
you because I don't want them to take my phone.
3:18:29
I was like, yo, I'll see you tomorrow.
3:18:31
Because I remember like from the diner, we used to get the call,
3:18:35
like the cops would call you be like, Yo, I need a happy meal.
3:18:38
So that it was, it was the morning.
3:18:40
It was it was eggs fried egg sandwich with like a coffee or
3:18:47
in the afternoon or at night. It was like a a hamburger with a
3:18:51
coke. So I was like, I'm good, dude,
3:18:54
I'm just going to go to the drunk tank.
3:18:55
I'll see you in the morning, whatever.
3:18:56
So I'm fucking sitting there and they put me in like they put
3:19:01
like I, I could hear everybody in the drunk tank and I was by
3:19:05
myself. So I was like, why am I by
3:19:07
myself? So I'm sitting there like all
3:19:10
night and I'm like the rest of the night.
3:19:12
Actually it was like what, 2-3 in the morning, something like
3:19:14
that. So I'm like at like 6:00 in the
3:19:16
morning, I'm like assuming they come and he gives me these
3:19:20
papers and there was like charges for assaulting a police
3:19:25
animal. And I was like, what the fuck,
3:19:26
dude? I'm like, I didn't salt
3:19:27
anything. I was taking a picture of his
3:19:28
Dick, like what are you talking about?
3:19:31
So he's like, well, you got to, you got to, you're going to
3:19:33
speak to the judge tomorrow, whatever.
3:19:34
I was like, what time does the judge come in?
3:19:36
And they're like, if she comes in, 'cause it's a Sunday, Yeah,
3:19:40
What? I was like, I'm like, you mean
3:19:42
I'm going to be here till like Monday?
3:19:44
And he's like, I don't know. So she didn't come in until like
3:19:49
noon that, that she did come in on Sunday.
3:19:52
She came in at like noon. And she told me your charges and
3:19:55
this, this and that. And they finally let me out.
3:19:57
But I was by myself and I had to shit really bad too.
3:20:00
And they put the bed right next to the toilet so I shit and the
3:20:04
thing wouldn't flush. So the thing, fuck dude.
3:20:08
So I slept next to my fucking turd the whole night and there's
3:20:13
no water so you don't fucking drown yourself.
3:20:16
Fuck. It was God, it was hell.
3:20:19
It set me straight though. No, that shit.
3:20:22
I went home. I'm like no more.
3:20:23
No more, no more H2O, I've never gone back.
3:20:26
No more bullshit. Like I'm serious, no more
3:20:29
drinking, no more getting drunk. No.
3:20:31
Damn. Dude, it really, it like really
3:20:33
straightened me the fuck out. Benson Benson really helped you
3:20:35
out. Benson hooked me up, but the I
3:20:37
ended, so they ended up on that *** real great in the end.
3:20:41
I had to get a lawyer. I got 10 hours community service
3:20:45
and the I had to do community service.
3:20:49
I had to paint curbs. Broke.
3:20:51
Yeah, all you did was take a photo.
3:20:53
But they said I, I punched the horse and I was like, where did
3:20:58
you see me punch the horse? First of all, you punch a horse,
3:21:00
A horse probably gonna like react.
3:21:02
I'm assuming so, but yeah. He did.
3:21:04
He's fucking. She would.
3:21:05
Have been like here's the photo. Yeah, that's the other thing
3:21:08
too. But like the photo was like my
3:21:10
Note 3 and it was like blurry and shit.
3:21:13
And it's like as he's like, I was like, so it's like didn't
3:21:16
get anything either. Fuck.
3:21:18
Dude. Yeah, good H2O story, though it
3:21:20
might be one of the better ones I've.
3:21:21
Heard Jesus. I've never heard of anybody
3:21:23
trying one. That's crazy.
3:21:25
That's a. Picture of a horse Dick is kind

3:23:36
of a horse Dick. Oh my God.
3:23:39
All right. Well, like I said in the
3:23:40
beginning of this episode, this was a long time coming.
3:23:43
I don't know. I I said two years.
3:23:44
Do you remember when we started thinking about this two years,
3:23:47
probably two years ago. And I said in the beginning, the
3:23:50
intro, I said it was because I was nervous and I was nervous.
3:23:55
I don't know why. Really.
3:23:57
Yeah, I don't know why I I said in the beginning of the episode
3:24:00
I was like, because I kind of look up to Dmitri in a way.
3:24:03
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
3:24:04
Or he's one of my, you know. Yeah, he's in the same industry,
3:24:09
same, got the same goals, got the same mindset, kind of, and.
3:24:13
He's like, you know, a few years ahead of me so.
3:24:16
Yeah. It's I don't know, I don't know.
3:24:18
And I was very nervous yesterday, the whole day.
3:24:21
Really. Yep.
3:24:22
Leading on the night before, yeah wow.
3:24:24
Which I do get nervous for some podcast anyway, but this one was
3:24:29
annoying. Wow, I I didn't expect that.
3:24:32
That's just. I don't know what it is, but
3:24:35
that all went right out the fucking window the second this
3:24:38
shit got started because it was so much fun.
3:24:40
Yeah. He's just a normal guy, man.
3:24:42
And we used, I mean, the first time we thought about it, we
3:24:44
were like, yeah, we got to get Dimitri on the podcast because
3:24:46
he can just talk and. Yeah.
3:24:48
He just goes off about subjects and and you know, you learn a
3:24:52
lot about whatever he's talking about at that moment.
3:24:54
Yeah, and having JD there was fun too, because then they
3:24:57
could. Yeah.
3:24:58
Dimitri had was comfortable with somebody of his own there also,
3:25:02
so he's just. Which I think Dimitri would have
3:25:03
been fine alone too, but I I like that JD stop by.
3:25:06
I was like, I was like, let's just get JD on here because
3:25:08
they're going to be able to bounce stories off each other.
3:25:10
So it, it worked out pretty perfectly.
3:25:14
And it was. I love when he told the story
3:25:17
and then JD was like, I've never even.
3:25:18
Heard this before. Yeah, that was what the fuck?
3:25:21
So yeah, guys, if you have a Subaru, if you need tuning or
3:25:24
anything like that, check out Prime Motoring.
3:25:27
There are literally our neighbors right now.
3:25:29
They're right down the street. We've been working with them for
3:25:31
a while. We used to do their alignments
3:25:33
and tire mounting and balancing. They are known nationwide.
3:25:36
They are one of the best Subaru shops, tuner shops, yeah, and
3:25:41
you could go to. Junior is probably one of the
3:25:44
best Subaru tuners in the country.
3:25:46
Yeah, did he? From what I hear.
3:25:48
He and Dimitri have definitely made a name for themselves in
3:25:51
the Subaru community. Yeah, it was interesting to hear
3:25:53
about that whole drag strip thing.
3:25:55
And like, yeah, so that was cool.
3:25:57
This might be one of the podcasts that I actually do go
3:26:00
back and listen to out of all the podcasts we've done.
3:26:02
I think I might actually go back and listen to this because
3:26:06
there's like things that he said in here where there's some good
3:26:10
advice in here, too. Oh.
3:26:11
Yeah, definitely. Especially yeah, towards the
3:26:14
second-half of the podcast, it started getting real.
3:26:18
It really got into his mind and how he how he thinks, how he
3:26:22
acts. Yeah, so I and we didn't even
3:26:25
get to cover a lot of the stuff I wanted to cover.
3:26:26
So I I think he's going to have to come back.
3:26:28
We're going to have to do this again.
3:26:30
Yeah, or I know they're moving, but.
3:26:31
Maybe we'll go to Hackettstown, yeah.
3:26:33
We definitely got to go there anyway and just check out that
3:26:35
shop. That shop sounds amazing.
3:26:36
So yeah, yeah, man, I can't thank those guys enough for
3:26:40
coming on. Dmitri made that very easy.
3:26:43
He's like, oh, yeah, whenever. And you know what we're going to
3:26:45
do, too. I'm going to hit up John today
3:26:47
and get him on here. Oh yeah.
3:26:48
So that we can have like, you know, right after another.
3:26:51
Yeah. And then because I, we've wanted
3:26:53
to get John on the podcast too, and they wanted to do it
3:26:56
together, but I was like, I was like, Nah, I want a prime
3:26:58
motoring 1. So we're going to have John come
3:27:00
on. He's he's he's Dimitri's
3:27:02
business partner with where they sell cars.
3:27:05
What is it called? Gearbox.
3:27:07
Yeah, he's his business partner with Gearbox where they sell
3:27:10
cars. Check them out too.
3:27:11
But John also has his own other side business called Soapbox,
3:27:15
where he washes and details these cars, luxury cars.
3:27:19
We'll try to get him on hopefully next week for you guys
3:27:21
so you can hear more about this craziness that goes on over
3:27:24
there. But yeah, if you got a Subaru,
3:27:26
check them out. They're going to be moving to
3:27:27
Hackettstown, NJ, which is kind of on the PA border.
3:27:30
So if you're over in PA, you know, make make the trip and
3:27:34
check them out. Yeah, Damn, that was, I don't
3:27:39
know. That was one of my favorite.
3:27:40
I know I say it all the time. That was one of my favorite
3:27:42
episodes, man, I, I can't, it was weird that whole day.
3:27:45
I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. What are we going to talk about?
3:27:48
Do we? I don't know what I'm going to
3:27:49
do. I don't know because it's all,
3:27:51
it's all going to be business because I don't know Dmitri that
3:27:53
well. It's like, I don't know what I'm
3:27:54
going to do. And then right away, boom,
3:27:56
fucking weight lifted off my shoulders.
3:27:58
And it was just the most chill, fun podcast we've had in a long
3:28:02
time. So.
3:28:03
Yeah, and it's it always helps when a guest is a a talker and
3:28:08
Oh yeah, true. They, they're a good
3:28:10
storyteller. They have great memory of the
3:28:13
things they've accomplished and how they've gotten to places.
3:28:17
Yeah, let let us know how you guys have viewed this podcast
3:28:19
because we we obviously enjoy it very much.
3:28:21
I mean, I I was looking over at you, you were fucking dying.
3:28:24
What what was that 10, the fucking world pack guy, the
3:28:26
delivery guy? Yeah.
3:28:27
I was like no way. Like, shit these guys deal with
3:28:30
the same shit we deal with every day.
3:28:32
So yeah, let us know what you what you guys thought about that
3:28:36
episode. And yeah, just give us some
3:28:39
feedback on it. It's November.
3:28:43
Almost the end of November. It's almost the end of November,
3:28:45
So what does that mean? Couple things.
3:28:47
First thing is our giveaway is almost over for ORC Clutch.
3:28:53
Every $5 spent on our website gets you an entry to win an ORC
3:28:56
clutch up to $1500 value. So make sure you check that out.
3:29:00
More details on the website as well.
3:29:02
So yeah, ORC has just basically launched their US based
3:29:09
division, I guess for ORC clutches.
3:29:12
So yeah, they just wanted to give something to the, to the
3:29:16
community and, and help support us.
3:29:18
So we're we're I'm excited for for this, a partnership, if you
3:29:23
want to call it that, but I'm pretty excited for it because I
3:29:26
love ORC clutches and I just like the brand in general.
3:29:28
So it's cool that they are here in Jersey too.
3:29:31
So it's local. We're going to be able to get
3:29:33
like any clutch we need. So if you guys are looking for
3:29:35
clutches, make sure to hit us up or check out the website as
3:29:39
well. We got everything on there right
3:29:40
now. Yes, a whole bunch of ORC
3:29:42
clutches on the website. They have a good variety of cars
3:29:49
that they support. Yeah, and they have a lot the
3:29:51
like that that chart they had with the power values or
3:29:54
whatever that that helps out a lot.
3:29:55
So you can see. What number?
3:29:57
Transfers over to how much power you make.
3:30:00
So the other thing being November is Black Fridays next
3:30:04
week. Yes, I mean we have not
3:30:07
announced any sales that we will be doing yet.
3:30:11
We have. Not announced anything yet, but.
3:30:13
There's going to be, there'll be signs.
3:30:14
Yeah, there will be signs this coming week.
3:30:18
Wait. I, I think we're going to wait.
3:30:19
I think we're going to hold off till Monday.
3:30:21
So we're just going to start announcing everything Monday,
3:30:23
the week of Black Friday and we most likely are going to be
3:30:28
doing the majority of our sales Friday to Monday.
3:30:33
Yeah, we're old fashioned here, guys.
3:30:35
We we're not doing a black. Black November.
3:30:39
They call it Black November. November.
3:30:40
I saw that black November. Yeah, I'm like, dude, this is
3:30:43
this is getting crazy. Like, you all seem kind of
3:30:46
desperate right now. Yeah, it's Black Friday, bro.
3:30:48
It's Black Friday, Black Friday weekend, Cyber Monday, you know,
3:30:51
that's that's what we're doing here.
3:30:53
So but I will say our sales are either going to meet or beat the
3:31:00
competition. So you might want to wait, but
3:31:03
meat or beat meat or meat beat or meat beat your meat, whatever
3:31:08
you want to say that we're gonna, the competition has no
3:31:12
fucking chance. That's all I'm saying.
3:31:14
All right, so you might want to wait for that or you might not
3:31:17
want to fucking wait for that because our dude Origin's been
3:31:21
selling this week. Yeah, we've been getting a lot
3:31:23
of calls, a lot of inquiries, a lot.
3:31:25
Of people come and picking shit up.
3:31:27
So. Maybe you want to wait for the
3:31:29
sales. Maybe you'd want to make sure
3:31:31
you're getting your parts this year, you know, like you have to
3:31:34
make a decision. So you know, if you want to, if
3:31:37
you want to wait for the sales, that'll be great, but if not,
3:31:40
you might just want to grab it now before it sells out.
3:31:42
Also, we will be open Black Friday.
3:31:45
I'm going to say 3:50, so 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
3:31:50
We're going to be open here in store.
3:31:51
We're going to be doing some in store sales.
3:31:53

3:32:14
Thank you so much. I decided this year would be
3:32:16
closed. No, Yeah, we're going to be
3:32:18
closed on Thanksgiving, so. But yeah, next day we'll be here
3:32:21

3:32:25
Parts are getting out of the website every day.
3:32:26

3:32:37
And if you don't have the money you need to buy the parts you
3:32:39
want, a firm's got your bag. We got a firm on the website.
3:32:43
So they'll be they'll be your financing option for those high
3:32:46
dollar parts you are looking for merch.
3:32:52
We're waiting for we're waiting for next season, to be honest.
3:32:55
Yeah, we're kind of waiting till next season to up on update the
3:32:57
merch just because, you know, we've been a lot of bills to pay
3:33:00
over here. So yeah, merch is a very
3:33:03
expensive endeavour for faction Motorsports, I guess.
3:33:08
Yeah, it used to not be when it was like we had one shirt
3:33:11
design, but now we have like. Maybe we should go back to that.
3:33:14
I don't know. Like 11 release like just one
3:33:19
shirt and try to sell as much as you can of it and then on to the
3:33:22
next design. I mean, some some things we we
3:33:24
drop for a bit and then bring back, but I don't know.
3:33:27
I never really, I was never really a fan of that whole like.
3:33:30
Exclusive, Yeah, limited supply. Yeah, I'm not like cuz then cuz
3:33:33
then the shirt go and you're like dude, I wanted one.
3:33:36
It's like well I can't get one now.
3:33:37
It's like, well. Gotta be quicker than that.
3:33:39
Yeah, but it's like we could make money, but it just sucks
3:33:41
because it's really this the you know who we use Panther
3:33:45
printing. They they, they're big time.
3:33:48
So like we need to order a lot of stuff in order to meet the
3:33:52
minimum. Yeah, so we don't.
3:33:54
Yeah. So we don't pay $1,000,000,
3:33:56
Yeah. But we do spend a lot, but we
3:33:58
have to get a lot. Merch is expensive these days.
3:34:00
It's not like it was five years ago.
3:34:02
So yeah, but thank you guys for your patience.
3:34:05
We do have stuff still in stock. We have a lot of stuff in stock.
3:34:08
It's just, you know, I don't know what size is and whatnot.
3:34:10
Yeah, and a lot of the stuff that people love and they, they
3:34:15
bought it all already. So we run out of sizes and.
3:34:18
Yeah, but that the one thing we do have is that crew neck.
3:34:22
Yeah, the crew neck and maybe we need to advertise.
3:34:25
What is the name of that crew neck?
3:34:26
The pit crew neck. You got check out the pit crew
3:34:28
neck on our website that that crew neck is fucking one of the
3:34:32
coolest things we've made and. I'm gonna take one for myself,
3:34:36
yeah. Yeah, you got a discount, but
3:34:41
yeah, check, check that thing out.
3:34:44
I love seeing that crew neck out in the wild.
3:34:46
Like that's my favorite, Yeah. It does look good on people,
3:34:48
yeah. I'm just not a crew neck person.
3:34:50
Me either, but like seeing that maybe was wearing it that night
3:34:54
was a Carl. I think, yeah.
3:34:56
That that thing looks so weak. And then Ron and Eric came here,
3:35:00
