0:00
Hello, hello, hello everybody. Welcome back to another episode
0:03
of the After Hours podcast. On today's episode, we have Alex
0:08
Goldstein on the podcast. Alex is a friend of mine from a
0:13
while ago, actually probably probably 2012 era, I would say.
0:20
I met him while I started getting into drifting and
0:24
hanging out at a buddy's house over in Pequannock, New Jersey.
0:28
They, him and some other friends were really into the Stance
0:32
community back then and they had like BMWs and stuff like that.
0:36
And back then with driftings, drifting and the Stance
0:40
community were really tied together.
0:41
So we kind of intertwined car community groups and I got to
0:46
meet a lot of cool people. And Alex stopped by about a
0:49
month ago and basically told me he's importing cars now and
0:55
selling them in the States. He's importing them from Europe
0:57
and selling them here. So I was like, we definitely got
1:00
to get you on the podcast and we got to hear about this whole
1:02
whole thing you got going on. So I hope you guys enjoy this
1:05
one. It's kind of different.
1:06
A lot of Porsche talk on this, but it was actually one of my
1:10
favorite podcasts we've ever done.
1:11
So enjoy this podcast is sponsored by East Coast Drift
1:16
School. East Coast Drift School is a
1:18
driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
1:20
conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
1:23
the United States, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
1:27
Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
1:29
options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
1:32
Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
1:34
your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
1:37
If you are more of a seasoned driver, E Coaster School is also
1:40
the place where you can get some extra seat time.
1:42
Chris allows private track time but no instructing as well so
1:45
that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
1:47
event or competition you have coming up.
1:50
Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
1:52
boys, consider signing up with East Coast Drift School the next
1:54
time they release their schedule.
1:56
Chris releases the schedule on the 16th of every month through
1:58
Instagram. Make sure to check them out,
2:01
give them a follow and shoot over a direct message when you
2:03
are ready to set up a date. You can find them on Instagram
2:06
at East Coast of school. Chase Bays has been a household
2:09
name in our industry for over 15 years, supplying us with tons of
2:13
fluid power products such as power steering cooler kits, oil
2:16
catch cans, engine oil coolers, hydraulic handbrake kits, and of
2:20
course they're dual piston brake booster delete kits which fit a
2:24
wide variety of vehicles. The core values of Chase Bays is
2:28
function, simplicity, quality and aesthetic.
2:31
All of their products are user friendly and easy to install
2:34
while of course looking the part.
2:36
The quality of their products has only increased over the
2:38
years and now with Front Street Drift Club being a sponsored
2:41
team of Chase Bays, you can guarantee the products are
2:44
stress tested as well. I'm currently digging their
2:47
compact intercooler sprayer reservoir kit.
2:49
This kit includes a pump and pigtail to wire it up to any
2:52
switch you want. I've been a big fan of sleek
2:54
looking OEM style intercooler sprayers ever since Subaru had
2:57
one on the STI and this kit provides you with what you need
3:01
to get started. If you need any more info on any
3:04
of their products, make sure to take a look at their product
3:06
descriptions. They have some of the most
3:08
detailed descriptions I've read with tons of information.
3:11

3:13

This podcast is also sponsored by Automotive Specialty Wraps.
3:27
Automotive Specialty Wraps is a company specializing in paint
3:30
protection, film vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings, and window
3:33
tinting located in Fairlawn, New Jersey.
3:36
Owned and operated by car enthusiasts and Drifters, their
3:38
technicians have over 10 years of experience in the industry.
3:41
Ceramic coating is one of their specialities and is the service
3:44
they offer that caught my eye first.
3:46
In the 60s, NASA and the US military formulated a ceramic
3:50
coating to be used on spacecraft and planes.
3:53
This coating would be able to protect them from harsh
3:55
conditions. Following that, in the early
3:58
2000s, ceramic coatings were revamped to be used in the
4:01
automotive industry. These coatings give your cars
4:04
paint extra protection while also making it shine.
4:07
Wax only last for a couple of weeks at most, but ceramic
4:10
coatings last for a year or longer.
4:13
They perform a full 2 stage Polish to the car beforehand to
4:16
make sure the vehicle is in perfect condition before
4:18
applying the coating. This service can also be applied
4:21
to wheels, which would be the best thing you can do to a new
4:23
set of wheels you just picked up if you are looking to protect
4:25
them for years to come. As mentioned, they also offer
4:28
window tinting and paint protection film installations.
4:31
Now everyone knows what window tinting is, but these guys offer
4:34
carbon or ceramic tinting depending on your needs.
4:37
Paint protection film or PPF is a great idea for those new
4:41
vehicle owners that want to protect their paint before it
4:43
gets chipped up driving down the highway.
4:46
I always suggest having at least the front end done in PPF like
4:49
the front bumper, fenders and hood.
4:52
ASW is now offering mobile detailing and this is no basic
4:55
car wash, it's more of a 2 hour spa session for your car using
4:59
special soaps designed to extract toxins out of your
5:02
paint. And the best part is they will
5:04
come to your house, job or even our shop when your car is being
5:07
serviced to get the wash done. From protecting your toe rigs
5:10
exterior to full delivery installations on your drift car,
5:13
they have you covered. You can contact them at
5:15
automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure to mention our
5:18
podcast. They are currently offering 10%
5:21
off mobile washes and tinting services for our listeners.
5:24
Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication shop and retailer
5:27
located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
5:30
cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
5:33
community. We started selling their
5:34
products earlier this year and have heard nothing but great
5:37
things since. Limitless bash bars are honestly
5:40
the industry standard right now. Fabricated from inch and a half
5:42
mild steel tubes, these bars are designed to take the impact of
5:46
light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your
5:49
body or frame. My favorite part about these
5:51
bash bars is that they are designed in a way that helps
5:53
hold most aftermarket bumpers up at the correct height, unlike a
5:57
lot of other aftermarket bars that require you to either Weld
5:59
additional brackets on or install those big foam rubber
6:03
pieces to raise the bumpers up to avoid bumper sag.
6:06
This is a huge pet peeve of mine when installing bash bars at the
6:09
shop, so I'm really glad about this feature.
6:13
Gone are the days of trying to keep your rusty rear factory
6:16
crash bar because you are worried about bumper fitment
6:18
issues with an aftermarket one. Their bars also come with
6:21
jacking points and optional license plate brackets, so
6:24
everything you need is right there from the start.
6:26
Limitless Auto also sells catch cans for a handful of specific
6:30
models. These cans are built in house
6:32
and chassis specific. We have used these cans before
6:35
in the shop with no issues and they look great as well.
6:38
The guys over at Limitless are on social media as well at
6:41
Limitless under score Auto under score Fab.
6:44
So please make sure to check out their Instagram and give them a
6:46
follow. They post photos of all the
6:48
drift cards using their products from Front Street Drift Club to
6:51
Animal Style. If you are in the market for a

That's true. Well, we're live now, by the
8:14

8:16
Welcome, everybody to the Faction AFTER Hours podcast.
8:18
We're here to bring you another episode.
8:20
Tonight's guest, we have local Porsche connoisseur and provider
8:24
Alex Goldstein. Give give him a warm welcome.
8:26
You, everybody. Appreciate the live audience.
8:29
Yep, there we go. I see them outside the.
8:31
Window. I know they're they're literally
8:32
clawing at the window trying to get in.
8:34
We had to lock the door. Oh.
8:35
My God, Alex. Oh, my God.
8:38
Happy holidays, everybody. We got a fireplace in here.
8:42
Yeah, thanks for coming on the podcast.
8:43
You are into the Porsche scene. I said provider because that's
8:49
kind of what you do like so far. I would say you provide a lot of
8:52
people Porsches. Yeah.
8:54
I mean, the goal is free, Yeah. I mean the goal is to provide,
8:57
you know, more of the enthusiast driven person over really the
9:00
collector at the end of the day. Because I do agree and like that
9:02
these cars are better to be used and enjoyed versus kind of just
9:05
sitting in a garage. But you know, I also do feel at
9:08
the same point that there's like a collector can have a, you
9:11
know, collection that sits and also a collection that they
9:13
drive. So I think it's just like kind
9:15
of depends on your variation and your focus.
9:17
But for me, what I bring in is really all things that people
9:20
can enjoy and I try to avoid the low mileage stuff, although if
9:23
someone's looking for it I can help them find it.
9:25
But for me, unoriginal but still to the roots of how a car should
9:28
be is really the focus of what I buy.
9:30
Is that so? If I was going to tell somebody
9:33
what you do, would you say like, Oh yeah, Alex deals drugs?
9:37
No. With Alex Blank, what would I
9:41
tell them? I would say Alex hunts for like
9:43
the rare unique birds that you normally can't find if you just
9:46
want to go search on your own. When you say search earlier we
9:51
were talking about the hunt. Yeah.
9:53
The hunt, Did you get that? That's crazy.
9:54
The hunt, The hunt. The hunt for me occurs between
9:57
1:00 AM to 4:00 AM on Facebook Marketplace.
9:59
The hunt for you occurs between every hour of every day.
10:03
No. I just show, can you confirm?
10:06
I just show Malcolm some Harleys ads.
10:08
Like, yeah, yes, you send us stuff all day.
10:12
No, just late at night. Okay.
10:13
When I'm. When you relate, when is a hunt?
10:16
When's a hunt for you? So look, the hunt realistically
10:19
late in the night is probably the best time for me to hunt.
10:22
Why is it called? Why are we like that?
10:25
Why are we like that? That's when you can go in with
10:27
no distractions. And like the only plus for me
10:29
about also hunting late night is when I find something in Europe,
10:33
they're all awake. So for me.
10:35
That's lucky for you. But like, my goal is like
10:39
efficiency. So if I find something within 48
10:42
hours, I'm buying that car and I'm getting it to the port to
10:44
bring it in. Jesus fuck.
10:46
Yeah, you're, you're a finisher. Yeah.
10:48
So for me, you know, I've kind of yeah, yeah.
10:52
So for me, it's one of those things where you got to find it
10:55
once you find it. Some things I'm buying, the
10:58
sellers are not, you know, really fully open to selling at
11:00
that point. But if they agree on it, that
11:02
timeline could be pretty short where they're going to want to
11:04
sell something. And it's not that like, they
11:06
don't want, you know, like they don't want to sell it because a
11:08
lot of people then, you know, they sit at home when their
11:10
wife's not with them and they're just sitting there by
11:12
themselves. And they're like, I don't know
11:14
if I should sell this car. And I had a situation like that
11:16
happened on one car recently that I did find a 2 in the
11:18
morning and within 36 hours it was bought and on its way here.
11:23
But it was funny because I really was dealing with the
11:25
wife. I wasn't dealing with the
11:26
husband. The husband owned the car, but
11:28
he had to sell it. And when it came to working out
11:30
the deal, it was not me talking with him, it was me talking with
11:33
his wife. Oh, she was fucking with you.
11:35
For real. They were playing like good cop,
11:37
bad cop side on me. It was like pretty interesting.
11:39
What? The fuck?
11:41
Did they have a pineapple? No, I'm just kidding.
11:42
Whoa, what do? You know what that is?
11:45
Do you know what that is? Look at me.
11:46
Look at me. Look at me right now and tell me
11:48
you know what that is, because I'm not going to give you a
11:50
chance. To know.
11:51
What that is OK? But it sounded sexual.
11:54
Yes, it was. OK, OK.
11:56
What are you going to do with the pineapple?
11:58
I think you I think you like display it somewhere.
12:01
Alex, I'm sorry that this wasn't what you thought it was going to
12:03
be. Do you know what I'm talking
12:04
about? You must.
12:06
You must know what I'm talking about.
12:07
I Malcolm does because he's on Reddit and confirmed he's a
12:10
redditor. I understand, yeah.
12:14
See. So Frankie's the only one in the
12:16
room right now that does not. Understand.
12:18
I think it. Means but if you went back to
12:19
the episode before this, apparently I'm a redditor so I
12:22
don't. Know yes, you are too.
12:23
I'm not. It's you gotta be.
12:25
I'm not. You know a lot.
12:26
Apparently you are. You know, a lot of things I'm
12:29
trying to learn. There's a lot of.
12:30
But what is the pineapple thing? Tell the it's a.
12:32
Swinger. It means you're a swinger.
12:34
Oh, I have heard about this. Is that why you were wearing the
12:36
shirt the other day? With the pineapple, No.
12:39
OK. Yeah.
12:39
So if you have a pineapple, I mean, that's like a signal,
12:41
right? Yeah.
12:43
OK. Wow.
12:44
That's way different than where I thought that was gone.
12:46
Yeah. You ever see that think in your
12:47
head? If you've ever seen that, like
12:49
think. No, I have not.
12:50
You have not. Now he's going to go hunting
12:51
for. It now he is.
12:52
Now it is He's going to walk out of his apartment at 1:00 AM.
12:55
Just start walking every floor looking for a pineapple.
12:57
That's weird. OK, wow.
12:58
You. Want to know what's crazy?
13:00
At my previous job my one of my like superiors had asked me to
13:04
go check out an apartment for him.
13:05
Superiors. And yeah, that's what you call
13:08
them. That's weird.
13:09
Yeah, it's they. Think it's the military it.
13:11
Honestly felt really odd to say right now.
13:13
What did you want me to say? But.
13:15
That's weird like. Me as a subordinate was showing
13:17
my. My boss, my boss, my manager.
13:22
Yeah, a A place to live, and I didn't know about that at the
13:25
time. And then like I got home that
13:29
day and for some reason, obviously my phone listened and
13:32
like, it showed me something. So now I'm going to get some.
13:35
Pineapple maybe? Maybe that's that's that's your
13:38
calling. I hate that shit, man, with the
13:39
cell phones and it's just listening to everything and
13:41
we're all just OK with it. We're like, oh, it's cool.
13:43
Yeah, I kind of wanted that anyway.
13:44
Where are you from, Alex? So I grew up in Wayne, so in New
13:47
Jersey, not too far away. Yeah, like that's.
13:50
Literally how I know him because of Justin and that's.
13:53
What we were talking about, yeah.
13:55
And then he just walked in one day.
13:56
He's like, hey, I'm selling cars over here.
14:00
Of course, at the compound. I'm going to call that the
14:01
compound from now on because. What the fuck is this compound?
14:04
It's really prime motoring. So.
14:06
Private you oh it's like every they're they're taking over that
14:10
whole little area so it's pretty cool and they're all friends so
14:14
it works out but. That's where the I'm not going
14:18
to say that people that come here don't have money, but over
14:20
there they're you guys are dealing with a different kind
14:22
of. Well, yeah, I mean.
14:24
Like. Subaru people are maybe are not
14:27
super rich but. What's what's something crazy
14:29
you got over there right now? So for me right now, you know, I
14:32
got like 2 built 96 fours that are like kind of similar but
14:35
also kind of different. One's been like kind of not cut
14:38
up, but it's been, you know, converted to a wide body car,
14:41
but it's been using olfactory Porsche.
14:43
Panels both layers. So complete turbo quarters and
14:46
complete turbo front fenders down to the bumpers head like,
14:48
you know, down to the Fender liner, like every little detail
14:51
has been converted. Frankie is.
14:54
As he was saying this, Yep, I was like I should have brought a
14:56
notepad. No, no, no, no.
14:58
No. So I could like keep track of
14:59
all this. No, no, no.
15:00
All like. I'm gonna compare it for you.
15:02
The turbo flares on a 911 on like.
15:07
Gold ones, They're fucking yeah. When they the turbo models they
15:11
made them wider. But they had like, they have
15:13
kits for them too. Like don't, don't they make,
15:15
they make kits of like aftermarket flares.
15:17
So like you were showing me like earlier, like, you know, your
15:19
dad's car from back in the day, Yeah.
15:21
And those cars, they really did like 3 different types of flares
15:23
back in the day, OK? They would do like Rs, like RSR
15:26
flares, St. flares, which is some like very special portion
15:29
from back in the day. They would do St. flares,
15:31
sometimes they would just do turbo flares.
15:32
So those were kind of like the three converted, you know,
15:34
things they would do. I mean, in a sense it's not like
15:37
an over Fender for like an S13, but you think about it's very
15:39
similar concept, although they would all be molded, you would
15:42
never really notice the difference.
15:43
Yeah. So by the end it just looked
15:44
like a finished product that came from Porsche.
15:46
And at the end of the day, it did come from Porsche, just in
15:49
whether it was the race car variant or a different Street
15:51
car, people would kind of just hodgepodge and put them together
15:53
in different ways. Out of those 3 without being
15:56
obvious like the original 1 being the most valuable, is
15:59
there one of them that's most that's like more desirable than
16:02
the other? Like in terms of you were going
16:04
to do like a conversion. I guess like if you were one of
16:06
those builders that which a lot of us do think about like a
16:11
value afterwards. Yeah, so back in the day, it was
16:14
funny. These things were worthless.
16:16
So when people were doing all these conversions and all these
16:18
different flares, the cars were already not even worth, you
16:21
know, none of these cars were cracking 10 grand.
16:23
This is, you know, 1520 years ago even.
16:26
So it was one of those things where kind of making the car
16:28
your own originality and doing what you wanted was not really a
16:30
problem. It was just it didn't really add
16:32
to value. It didn't really do anything
16:34
versus now to the, you know, right, specific buyer, a car
16:37
that's done up a little bit different with some proper parts
16:40
is worth more in the market because trying to go build those
16:42
cars today is very difficult. And also it you know, it gets
16:46
down to like the minor details, like, you know, there's a lot of
16:48
replica parts out there that people can use as far as flares.
16:51
But if you do stuff with the right stuff and you do the right
16:53
prep work, the cars, you know, you'll never even notice even 10
16:56
years later that they were ever really converted.
16:58
Like the one car I have was done in 2010 and you know, you can't
17:02
even tell to the slightest bit that the car came factory as a
17:04
narrow body car. So but not but Porsche did that
17:08
themselves to some of these cars.
17:09
Yeah, Porsche had different variations with different
17:12
fenders. Then over time as cars would get
17:13
crashed or people could get OEM panels because Porsche would
17:16
sell you, you could buy quarters back in the day.
17:18
Now did they? Were they metal quarters?
17:20
Yeah, they're all everything for the most part, was metal.
17:22
Okay. Is the whole.
17:23
Chassis made out of what the fuck is the because my dads
17:28
wasn't like the greatest example Yeah, but it was they like
17:32
didn't have any rot like crazy. Rot on it.
17:35
They're honestly they're like galvanized bodies yeah.
17:37
So for the most part, like they don't really rust out the early
17:40
year ones if you went like pre 74, those can be pretty rough
17:44
right now, you know, but it depends on like where the car's
17:47
kept conditions wise. I would say you never really
17:49
have any frame issues, but you have, you know, a lot of rust
17:52
that ends up happening around like windshields and, you know,
17:54
and and rear glass. But really aside from that,
17:57
that's the only areas that really rust on the cars.
17:59
Everything else stays pretty solid that.
18:01
That thing was cool, man. He drove that in the snow, drove
18:03
it. What year was that?
18:05
Like the car? The car The car was at 84.
18:08
So that's a 9/6. 4 right? So 84 is a is an older G body.
18:12
Yeah, G Body 911, but it had a motor from.
18:15
Wait, what's 964? So what's a 964?
18:18
What year is that? So 964 started in 89 and Porsche
18:22
was like kind of funny with it. So like every single time they
18:25
came out with a new body style, they would still make the old
18:27
like in the crossover year. So you can either get an 89, you
18:31
know, G body, or you can get an 89964.
18:33
It was a funky time. What was the one before A964?
18:37
So, but that was G body. Is there another name for it?
18:39
Like a number so. I mean, 911, yeah.
18:42
Well, not that number, the other number.
18:44
So I'd say G bodies were all the NA cars.
18:46
That's what people kind of coined AG body.
18:48
And then if you had a turbo back in the day, you said you had a
18:50
930 turbo that was like, it was like your.
18:52
Balls were big, yeah. You're you had a, you had a car
18:55
that could fucking move. Like all the they'd kill you.
18:57
Would it have 200 horsepower? No, they made, they made like
19:00
over three really or like close. To it, it would kill you because
19:03
it was the the spooling matter of it.
19:06
It was like literally boom turbo technology like it would just
19:09
like spool. And then, yeah, I just feel like
19:10
everything before the 90s was just slow, yeah.
19:14
Right. I've been slow, but you had a
19:16
lot of people that started to modify them once the 90s hit and
19:18
they start to become just wild, like even like in Japan, all
19:21
like the, you know, all the highway cars, like there's a lot
19:24
of older, you know, 930 turbos out there that were built by
19:27
like TPK and like all like the wild garages out there and they
19:30
were fast. So the first turbo 9/11 was the
19:32
early. 80s was it? Yeah, it was actually 70s
19:35
started like like around 7675, if I'm right.
19:38
OK. What's that?
19:39
Big Body Supercar 1950 9. The the newer.
19:46
One no, no, no. It's like a old one where the I
19:48
don't know, I've seen of one whether it was a kid or not,
19:51
but. What a 959?
19:52
959. Where like it had like a
19:54
clamshell. That the trunk is like you've
19:57
you've had a Hot Wheels of this car.
19:58
Yeah, probably. You've definitely had.
20:00
You definitely, definitely had. 959.
20:03
Porsche 959, please. Little please right there.
20:08
He's, he's working. That's.
20:11
But this thing, so that thing was like one of the top speed.
20:15
Car looking? Yeah.
20:16
This thing made power back in. The day, yeah, that was it was
20:18
like that was one of the record breaker breaking car right there
20:22
and those wheels were the lightest fucking.
20:24
Yeah, but that looks like that looks like a 90s car, right?
20:27
So they basically at this point, it's in a sense like A993 front.
20:31
So 993 started in like 94 in Europe or 95 here in the States?
20:34
Yeah, there's like no more, but yeah, yeah.
20:36
Yeah, the headlights are the same as a 993.
20:38
You know, it has like the similar like if you put this
20:41
next to A993 at least in the front nose and like didn't look
20:43
at the back, you would see, you know, a lot of.
20:45
Similarity. That photo of this car looks
20:48
like shit to me. It looks.
20:49
Bad. So it's.
20:50
Not, it's not the most pretty car.
20:51
It's not, but it's cool because when you see it, you know what
20:54
it is and you know at this point.
20:57
Malcolm, what about that? That looks good.
20:58
That one right there, You're hovering over it.
21:00
Look at that. Yeah.
21:01
It kind of looks good from the back 'cause it looks it looks
21:02
weird, like the the trunk is obviously longer.
21:05
Yeah, they elongated the whole car out for just like
21:07
aerodynamic reasons, trying to make it as solid as possible.
21:09
Oh, so the engines not like bigger or something?
21:11
No. So the engine's still a three
21:12
six. You know, it's just, it's, you
21:15
know, it's turbo, so it's going to make some power.
21:16
Was this like their supercar? Yeah, this was their supercar
21:19
basically back in the day. That got the top speed record I
21:22
think. What do you think something like
21:23
this would be worth, Alex? Something like this.
21:25
I mean, they're, they're well over a million right now.
21:27
Closer to two than. One, these are not numbers.
21:29
But yeah. But the but the wild thing is
21:31
you have you have companies out there now that are taking these
21:34
cars and fully restoring them and building them and making
21:36
them more powerful with modern. Technology.
21:37
So they weren't that rare I guess.
21:38
No, they're super rare and there's just yeah, there's just
21:42
yeah, this is one place in California that's absolutely
21:44
doing insane builds, but they're keeping them still to like the
21:46
factory looks so you. When you look at the car.
21:48
Company called. Canepa Motorsports, they're in
21:50
like Northern California. That green one, maybe a green
21:54
one is something like you're talking about right there.
21:56
Yeah, so if you so actually Malcolm, Google, Google the
22:00
Kanapa cars, you'll see. There, how do you spell Kanepa?
22:02
CANEP. A Oh, that white one.
22:08
These are restored. So these are restored what they
22:11
still keep the roots to it. They just do like really nice
22:13
interiors, really good paint work and they do a lot of modern
22:16
technology to the engines. That green right there?
22:18
That dark green above that? I know the green below that
22:22
signal green. But that right there looks
22:23
fucking. This is crazy.
22:25
So they're buying these $1,000,000.
22:26
Cars I know. Right, let me fucking.
22:29
I mean. Put some H cash in on it and
22:31
sell it. If, if, if, if, if that wasn't
22:34
if you pulled the word Porsche out of it, you're literally
22:36
doing the same. Exact no.
22:37
But these are like the very rare, like, you know?
22:40
Yeah, well, you got people chopping up their teens that
22:43
that, yeah, that's like. Cutting up a 9/11.
22:45
It's worse. That thing is.
22:47
To me. To me, if I mean I'm not too
22:50
much more on like the Canepa side of things, I'd more so if I
22:53
ever had one of these, I would keep it factory.
22:55
I would just keep it and that's what I would drive around and I
22:57
would just be that guy to be like.
22:58
This is what I got dude. You would be the guy in your
23:01
town that would be a hero to all the kids around there.
23:03
I'd hope you know that like you'd a kid would see that and
23:06
be like. What the fuck?
23:07
I like the back of it, it's cool looking.
23:10
You're a butt guy. It looks a little bit like an
23:12
old ass and Martin. Or something.
23:13
No look, if you take your left hand and cover the half of that
23:16
photo, it literally just looks like a 9/11 with a crazy.
23:18
Yeah, side skirt on it. Yeah, I like looking at stuff
23:22
like this. And, and this car too, it was
23:23
built, you know, off of car, off of parts from like 3 different
23:26
cars. See this is the reason I
23:28
actually do like Porsche 9 Elevens is because the card
23:32
doesn't really change much. Yeah, that's why people.
23:35
I like it. That's.
23:36
Quite literally why people talk shit about it.
23:38
But that's why I like it. That's fine, they stayed true.
23:40
Yeah, I like thing. I don't like change.
23:42
So like this that that is perfect for me because it's.
23:46
Boo, that is the I'm sorry I don't boomer Frankie.
23:50
I'd like to build whatever do just leave it the way it is.
23:53
Like build it one perfect the. First time, Yeah, that's what
23:56
I'm all. Yeah, one time.
23:57
The spirit of Motorsports for that Porsche had for like the
24:01
longest entire time. I don't know if it's still same,
24:04
but like that movie we were watching little clips of earlier
24:07
No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen.
24:09
Oh yeah, you guys don't know what that is.
24:10
It's a movie about stealing Porsches and Charlie Sheen's in
24:12
it it. Looks like a good.
24:13
Movie 1987. So you get to see the cars
24:18
there, right? And we like not that, but then
24:22
you see stuff like that and you're like, damn, how do we?
24:24
Take bring up the car that well, you showed the scene you showed
24:27
me. How do we take that and embody
24:29
it into something that we like? Yeah, like that's what I like,
24:33
you know, like that's a 13 hatch.
24:35
I would like that color interior combo on a 13.
24:39
Not the black wheels though. The color's cool.
24:43
Look at that. Imagine a 13 with that interior
24:45
and and little bomax. I don't know.
24:47
Yup, brown interior for me. I don't know, just.
24:50
Just open your mind a little bit onk.
24:52
No, what do you focus on? Just black interior.
24:55
Car I like For a German car it's fine, but a Japanese car I don't
24:58
know what's. Different about.
24:59
That. How would you feel about, like
25:01
funky carpets like something wild in like an S13, but that
25:04
was still like all one, one color.
25:06
Yeah, like true. Like no crazy.
25:08
What do you mean funky carpets like?
25:10
Like the Denver airport, All right, so like.
25:12
That's actually, you know, in in the 9/11 world, there's like
25:14
some very funky builds that are out there that Porsche made from
25:17
the factory. I'm too boring for that, yeah.
25:18
So like you could find you could find some like like one for
25:21
example, like while back I was like trying to chase an oak
25:24
green paint job car on a Sherwood green interior with
25:26
like the special wood grain that they did.
25:28
How do you chase? That.
25:30
How do I chase that? Where do you find that?
25:31
Yeah, when, when you're saying Chase, are you quite literally
25:34
like? Yeah.
25:38
Like where do you like? Finding a car, messaging the
25:41
owner? Yeah.
25:41
Yeah, so I work with basically like my head cut off and I have
25:44
fun with it. And it's just basically it's a
25:45
full on hunt. So like I'll find maybe one that
25:48
was for sale somewhat recently. I'll call that place like what's
25:51
going on with this thing? And they're like, oh, we sold
25:52
it. And I was like, where'd it go?
25:54
They're like, tell me, you know, oh, it stayed in the country.
25:56
If it stayed in the country, you know, I'm like, is he try and
25:59
get any information I can? Is it still around?
26:01
Is it around you? Go to Instagram DM.
26:04
Instagram's hard with these because a lot of the people that
26:06
own these, they don't really post much.
26:07
Like they're not yeah, they're not really out there.
26:09
So yeah, yeah. But.
26:12
But. My yeah, but my whole thing is
26:14
if they did the, you know, not all the cars were like one time
26:17
runs. So like if you found a oak green
26:19
over Sherwood interior car, there's another one out there,
26:22
you just gotta go find it. And then basically I just put
26:24
that in the back of my head the second I find one, it could be,
26:27
you know, the next day, could be the same day, could be six
26:29
months from them. And then you drive to their
26:31
house. I mean.
26:32
That's what I see something. So not.
26:34
No, that's, that's that's. Where I'm at, I'm like and so.
26:37
What's what's going to come next?
26:39
They're going to show up to their house and take it, right?
26:41
No. So what I'll do is, you know,
26:43
you can reach out. I kind of built like a circle of
26:45
people I trust out there. If I can't get out there in a
26:47
moment's notice to go check something out, I'll make the
26:49
phone call, call my buddy, be like, look, I found this, you
26:52
know, I'm look, I'm taking care of you to go check it out.
26:54
You know what my eye is because we've looked at so many cars.
26:57
So just go, if you tell me it's a good car, the guy's getting
27:00
the money within 24 hours. You tell him that likes all
27:02
good. You go back and pick up the car
27:03
the next. Week How do you come up with an
27:05
offer? So as far as like at this point
27:09
now I know where the price points really should be on a lot
27:11
of these cars, especially with the effort that I'm doing to
27:13
bring them here. So for me, it's more so not
27:16
always driven by price with these cars.
27:18
Sometimes it is if you find like a car to dealership that's like
27:20
a funky spec car, you're typically kind of fucked.
27:23
You're not really going to be able to get something that's
27:24
going to be like opportunistic. But sometimes if you're chasing
27:27
for the hunt so bad and you want it, you're going to buy it
27:30
because of what you feel the value is.
27:31
And when it gets here, you may make money, you may just sell it
27:34
for break even, you may even lose.
27:35
But like for me, sometimes it's bringing in something special
27:38
that otherwise you could not find.
27:39
This seems like a passion. I was going to totally.
27:42
You know, this whole business basically started full of
27:44
passion and now it's become just like passion, obsession and like
27:48
very big desires to find special shit.
27:50
Because you don't even want to own them, you just want to get
27:53
them here, see them, drive them for a bit and sell them.
27:56
Yeah. I mean, that's kind of it's hard
27:58
because a lot of things up like when I first bought them, I'd be
28:00
like, I'm going to sell them. Then I get them.
28:02
I do a road trip out in Europe with it.
28:03
I fall in love and I'm. Like you mentioned that earlier.
28:05
I'm like every. Car he does this with it it's.
28:08
It's like if it's anything super special I'm flying out, picking
28:12
it up, finding a way to like have the.
28:14
But that's fine, yeah, because you're still selling.
28:17
It. Do you have a YouTube?
28:17
For this stuff, no. So like, I'm, I don't know, like
28:19
I always, damn it, Alex, you know, like people have always
28:22
said to me, they're like, oh, like, you know, just when you go
28:24
out on these trips, bring a camera with you, see What the
28:26
fuck? You really should.
28:27
And I'm always like, you know, I, I probably should.
28:29
I'm just like a little indifferent about it.
28:30
A lot of times the trips come together like literally in a
28:33
moment's notice, Like, I could leave here tonight, go home,
28:35
find a car and I'm on a flight tomorrow.
28:37
That's the type of work, you know.
28:38
That's how I work. When you tell me your this
28:40
little adventure where you let's say, let's say you're picking up
28:42
a car. Let's say you're in Europe,
28:44
you're picking up a car. It is like another step, but for
28:48
some reason everything you're describing to me and now kind of
28:52
getting a gauge of like who you are.
28:53
This is the kind of picture or video I see always, right?
28:56
Like he's there's really no like, hey guys, we're picking up
28:59
a car, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
29:00
No, I feel like Porsche content, not like that.
29:03
See, I was. Picturing Porsche content.
29:05
Porsche content is what I'm picturing is like Alex is
29:09
looking at the car, but there's a the camera is just right there
29:12
and it's a static. Camera and Alex.
29:14
Is just looking at the car he's. Going to make this a movie.
29:16
Yeah, I'm just going to need you to bring a production.
29:19
For Foggy and it's Foxy. Every time, I mean, with these
29:22
trips, like nothing is planned. So like, I get off the plane and
29:26
I'm winging it right then and there.
29:27
Perfect, you know. I'm thinking vlog style.
29:30
It would be it would be vlog style because we, you know, like
29:32
the last trip, for example, like it was car focused.
29:35
We did a lot of car stuff, but we also had a lot of fun and
29:38
doing other things that kind of it, you know, it's a change of
29:41
life from what you can do here in the states as far as like
29:43
what experiences wise. So it's cool going out
29:46
somewhere, not having a plan and just being that American.
29:49
Just walking around being like, I don't know where the fuck I'm
29:51
even at, but like, what's going on?
29:53
Trying to make friends with people at gas stations.
29:54
And alecs and I know you don't. Want to carry a camera around
29:57
the whole time? Maybe you could film some of it?
30:00
I like the B roll ones where like nobody's like yeah, like.
30:04
But it'd be really good for your business too.
30:06
And if you need someone to edit it, we got Eddie.
30:08
He would definitely do it. So.
30:10
OK, first of all. Eddie needs volunteer shout out.
30:13
Eddie needs more work, so. Volunteering.
30:15
I'm waiting for my my Casino Royale video.
30:19
Oh, I think he's still editing that.
30:20
I saw that. Oh, well.
30:21
Well, it sounds like he doesn't need more work.
30:24
Well, yeah. I mean, it was months ago.
30:27
God. I think he's looking for
30:29
payment, I don't know. He's got like I don't.
30:31
Know why he's why he's not doing that.
30:33
Like 9. He's not.
30:34
Making that video I think. He he was doing it the other
30:37
day. He's just.
30:38
Caught up in other stuff because I think, Nah, today he was like
30:41
roaming around like. Well, he wanted to help you out,
30:43
maybe. Have you ever thought of that?
30:45
Eddie's a helpful guy. He is very helpful, but today he
30:47
was roaming around like he needed something to do.
30:49
Give Eddie a break, he he probably did have something to
30:52
do. You just were yelling at him.
30:55
Good cap backup. That's how it is.
30:59
HR you got to. I dealt with that literally
31:01
yesterday with some guy trying to buy a car for me and he was
31:03
like all about it. And then the second you hear
31:05
about someone's wife, you're like deals done.
31:07
You're not lying. That's one of the.
31:10
That's one of the that's. What happened yesterday to me
31:11
and it's, it's always like I've yet to have someone ever consult
31:14
their wife and ever say yes. I almost think it's just a cop
31:17
out. They don't even need to talk to
31:18
their wives. They just use it to basically
31:20
let them gather the thoughts overnight and then they wake up
31:22
and they're always going to have a different thought.
31:24
Yeah, I mean, that would be an easy cop out.
31:26
Oh, let me talk to the wife. Oh, she said no.
31:29
Yeah, that's. Actually now came to my senses
31:33
and now I'm going to blame it on my I.
31:35
Had another question about. So you, you go to Europe to get
31:39
these cars. Well, there's two questions
31:40
here. Now you have one.
31:43
First of all, why do you go there to get the cars?
31:46
So for me, the other side of the hunt is like that.
31:49
Some of these cars are very like intimate buying experience.
31:52
So some of these people may have owned the cars for 10 plus
31:54
years. They've been track cars of
31:55
theirs, you know, they've taken them on long road trips.
31:58
They've had experiences with their family.
32:00
There's all different variables to every car.
32:01
And with the Porsche community, at least from what I've learned,
32:04
is these owners care about where their cars go.
32:07
They care about the history they wanted to, they want to know
32:09
that something's either safe. So for me, a lot of.
32:11
So it's like the. Opposite of S chassis owners.
32:13
Yeah, I mean depending if they. Will sell that to.
32:16
Anyone what about what about like those still those really
32:18
rare birds that are like the one owner cars that have just been
32:20
sent that's. What I was?
32:21
Saying yeah, it's just a different calibers.
32:23
No, no, they don't even care. They don't give a shit.
32:25
All right, you've probably had the experience where like I
32:27
would say this is like a rare bird you find like a stock S13
32:30
in the mall parking lot. We've seen that happen, yeah.
32:33
When someone brought one recently, yeah.
32:35
Are you the type of person that if you saw that and saw the
32:37
owner, would you go up and say something to them?
32:38
And not trying to buy it, but just trying to basically be
32:41
like, this is the coolest thing I've seen all day, all week, the
32:43
last, you know, six months, 'cause sometimes with me, when I
32:45
see a car out in the middle of nowhere in Europe or something,
32:48
I freak out. I just lose my mind.
32:49
See, there's. My buddies on the trip that I'm
32:53
with just like, what the fuck are you doing right now?
32:54
And I'm just like, look like we're in some random country,
32:57
you know, not random country, some random town in Estonia
32:59
right now. Why is it 911 to sit in here?
33:01
So right when you said that, my first thought went to I would go
33:04
and try to buy it from that person, okay?
33:06
Because I would try to put it in a garage somewhere and save it.
33:09
Yeah. But but see, so this is where
33:12
you guys are different. So the takeover kid?
33:14
So the takeover kid wouldn't go get it?
33:16
No. Which if I, if I found no, but
33:18
if I found something like that, there's stuff I keep that not
33:21
everything's for sale at the end of the day, there's things that
33:23
I'll keep. That's true.
33:24
You know, I have. Do you?
33:24
Do you keep? These cars, I feel like you
33:26
don't have any of these cars. Do you have you have like your
33:28
own? You have like so you have like
33:29
39 elevens in. Or so over there right now I got
33:32
like inside the space right now I got.
33:34
What's that? Are you allowed to disclose
33:36
this? You, you, you, you want to
33:37
disclose this information? Is that right?
33:39
You got a good security system and all that.
33:41
Yeah, yeah. I mean, look at the end of the
33:42
day, 911, they're all insurance. 911 is in my business.
33:44
So like, yeah, I, I'm a big believer that you can't sell
33:47
something you don't own yourself.
33:49
OK. And if you own it, it doesn't
33:51
mean, it doesn't mean in the moment that you have to own it.
33:54
I try to keep it that way. So I always keep basically like
33:56
my personal stable. We'll always have a 964IN it,
33:59
we'll always have A993 in it. We'll try to always have a GT3
34:02
or some variation in it. So what you do have?
34:05
Yeah, which I do have Fire, you're the 1st.
34:09
Person now friend that I know that has a GT3.
34:12
So I have it. Bro he has a GT3 like a .2.
34:16
Yeah, A. 997.2 But you know, it's a it's a bit of a fortunate
34:19
but unfortunate story in the sense of that I just don't drive
34:23
it. Oh.
34:24
Well, that's a personal. Yeah, it's a personal choice.
34:26
It is a personal. Choice.
34:27
But is there anything bad like you acquired it in a bad way?
34:30
No, so I acquired it, you know, in a that was the first Porsche
34:33
I ever bought was my 2010 Guards Red GT3.
34:36
The fucking GT3 was number one. Yeah, it was number one.
34:41
What the fuck it was #1 and it happened in like a very.
34:44
Like that was like a. Boxster No.
34:46
It was like a, it was a crazy, no, it was a crazy situation
34:50
where there was a collector that I was friendly with and we would
34:52
talk all the time on Instagram. Never met in person, never had
34:54
his phone number. And you know, he has a lot of
34:58
cars at the time. And I was just like, we'd always
35:01
shoot the shit. And I was told him I was like,
35:02
you know, I'm going to get a Porsche one day.
35:04
Like I want one like soon, but I don't know what the fuck I want.
35:08
Then I did like a little bit of research.
35:09
I was like a GT3 Makes sense at the time.
35:11
The pricings was not where they were like right now.
35:14
And he was a big collector and he kind of just, he goes, sorry.
35:17
Like a GT3 makes sense is a. Wild ass, yeah.
35:20
Well, it's the coolest one, right?
35:21
What? Gabe, Korea and Hector are
35:25
somewhere punch in the air really hard.
35:29
Wait GT3? That's that?
35:30
Is the NA1 or? That's the NA so OK the one I
35:33
ended up buying. GT2 is the.
35:35
GT2 is the turboed one. Yeah, those.
35:38
Are the Gabe and Hector love? GT3 I like GT3's.
35:41
But specifically GT3 and that's why Gabe's in school so Hector
35:45
can get a GT3 is his return on. But GT2's are like.
35:49
GT2's are wild. That's on my hit list to
35:51
eventually. Buy Are they more desirable?
35:52
So it's funny, I would almost say they're least desirable.
35:55
They're worth a lot in the, in the in terms of like, they're
35:58
worth more. But I would say if you talk to
36:00
people and they're like, what are you looking for?
36:02
Not a lot of people on a GT2. I always say to people, if you
36:05
call me and you're like, I'm looking for a GT2, I'm like not
36:07
saying you have a death wish, but how well do you drive?
36:09
Because not that they're like crazy powerful, but they're rear
36:12
wheel drive. The turbos come in really
36:14
fucking hard and there's really no, if you're on the, you know,
36:17
if you're on a back Rd. RIP in and you get off the gas
36:19
at the wrong point, you'll lose the rear end in a matter of
36:21
moments. So there's actually more crash
36:23
GT twos out there probably than there is clean ones.
36:25
Dude. I on the older ones after like
36:28
after basically the 997 variant, they started to become like not
36:31
as driver focused. A lot of people just tend to buy
36:33
those more for just, you know, they want the appeal or they
36:36
want to have one versus the older ones are more rugged like
36:38
the 996GT2, like super rugged car, probably the most rugged
36:42
car they made, you know, in recent time.
36:45
I had felt, dude, when you get oversteer in those cars, it it
36:49
does not. Deal.
36:50
Especially if it has like 500 horseback.
36:52
Well, not, not, not even like in not, not at that, just that
36:55
scale. Like I'm talking like down here,
36:57
like in those in the G body. 9/11 dude drifting.
37:01
So weird. So.
37:03
Never imagine drifting, it is so weird.
37:05
The weight is over the wheel, not.
37:06
Yes, but the weird thing is, is that the wheel it it like
37:13
doesn't talk short. It doesn't.
37:15
It doesn't. You don't rotate it the same
37:16
that an S13 would. Like.
37:17
I'm just picturing like like. Anything similar?
37:20
No, you almost just like you, you walk the wheel because like
37:23
I if I feel like if you let go of it, just gonna fucking whip.
37:26
So yeah, fucking dude. So weird.
37:28
And but again, I'm not an expert so maybe I just suck, but like,
37:30
that thing was fucking. Yeah.
37:31
I mean like the driving characteristics, if you're in
37:33
one a lot, you start to learn kind of how they are.
37:35
And the brakes. Brakes are always good in every,
37:38
even the old 911. As old as you can go back, they
37:40
still stop well. Fucking crazy they were.
37:42
A German technology yeah, they were ahead.
37:44
Of it dude, and I didn't know I was pretty young like I didn't
37:49
know like what non booster or or whatever was in my dad's car 84
37:55
So what is that non booster and like the pedal came out like
37:58
this. So there's a little the clutch,
37:59
the clutch pedal. No, the brakes.
38:01
So all the the pedal box on on basically every air cool with
38:04
911 is very different from like a normal car.
38:06
Yeah, that shit locked up crazy once on the highway and it was a
38:10
learning experience for me. I was like, Oh my God.
38:13
Like fuck yeah. Sorry Dad.
38:16
Yeah, I mean, the craziest thing is like the clutch pedal
38:18
probably on those cars. They come on.
38:19
Floor and they're like a. Super long throw that kind of
38:21
like goes down but then goes back up.
38:23
Yeah. It's a funky, like it's always
38:25
funny. Like if someone's like, Oh yeah,
38:26
like, you know, like come in, like, you know, if they want to
38:29
go drive one, they just want to like feel it out the 1st.
38:30
And they always say when they get in, they're just like the
38:32
clutch pedal. And then if you have an old one
38:34
like 387, basically it's how the fuck do you even shift this
38:38
thing because you don't know what gear you're in because the
38:40
shifter is that sloppy. Yeah dude, like your dad's that
38:43
before that little new shifter thing yeah when he had it before
38:46
when he first taught me how to drive it, you would put it into
38:49
first and first of all like there's we were talked about
38:53
he's seating position earlier, but 911 seating position in my
38:55
honest opinion, you got it's a it's a desired taste 'cause
38:59
you're kind of like sitting like in it like on I don't know it's
39:03
weird it's weird to explain you're.
39:04
So offset too like. Yeah.
39:06
The steering wheel is further. It's it's like further.
39:08
It's like a little. I guess I never noticed that,
39:10
but yeah, when you say that, I guess I'm picturing it in my
39:12
head. But when you grab the shifter,
39:13
it's like low down here. So my dad would shift it like
39:16
this. Yeah, like he would like.
39:18
Yeah, yeah. It was so weird.
39:20
Yeah, yeah. And the throw.
39:21
'S. Probably so.
39:22
I've seen that though, yeah. And.
39:23
And the throw's super long. Like, yeah, yeah.
39:26
And when even in gear you'd fucking you can swirl that thing
39:30
around. 84. 84 Can you bring this up, Malcolm, so I can see
39:35
this? I need, I need to like, I wanna.
39:36
Send Malcolm a picture. Where should I send it, Malcolm?
39:38
What's like a 2003? Is that A993?
39:40
So 2003 is 99699. That's right.
39:43
Right now, like the like the real like.
39:44
That's about like a 2000. So 2000 was still 996.
39:48
OK. And if you're looking at like,
39:49
yeah, and if you if someone's looking at like 99 sixes, like I
39:51
recommend you get a 99, it's you know, it's not a electric cable.
39:55
So it's I. Drove A996.
39:57
That's the 1911 I really. Drive by wire I should say.
40:00
Yeah, I don't know. I think it was like 2000 one or
40:02
two or something like that but wasn't really a fan of it.
40:07
I feel like you would not like it, so you would be underwhelmed
40:11
and be like this. Is it?
40:12
Yeah. And then I got in my STI and
40:13
smoked the shit out of it. So I was like, I don't know,
40:15
they're not bad. So like, I mean, I get it but I
40:21
don't know. I feel like I like an older one.
40:23
Yeah, you would so. Like I want an air cooled.
40:25
When when I came here to get those tires balanced and I said
40:28
to it's like take one of the cars back like just I was trying
40:30
to get you behind the wheel. Yeah, trying to get one.
40:32
I just want, I just were trying to get because you seem like
40:35
you're not like a believer in it, but like it's completely
40:38
different for you. The reaction.
40:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you.
40:41
Start your YouTube channel. Yeah, call me, we'll go.
40:44
Yeah. Because I feel like you would be
40:45
the most unbiased opinion getting into it.
40:47
Maybe your opinion would be like, it can't be this good or
40:50
it can't, you know, Why do so many people grab it?
40:52
You know what? It is though I I don't really
40:54
tend to gravitate towards German vehicles.
40:57
I I usually don't like all the things that people like.
41:00
Like the? Way the doors close and open.
41:02
I usually don't like it. So you don't like the way like
41:05
a? Like the notchiness?
41:07
So like like the door closed is like probably like the best
41:10
part. Yes, it's.
41:11
Solid. That's the problem.
41:12
It's like, it reminds me of like, you know, like kind of
41:15
like older style trucks, like. That's my dad.
41:17
So when I see that I think 964, is that not a?
41:19
No, that's not a 964. Okay, no, so his, his daddy car,
41:22
you know, was kind of like had different parts from different
41:25
cars. It was a hot pot.
41:26
Yeah. That's like a, that's like what
41:27
we would do to it. Like if he chopped that thing
41:29
up, he would just do random shit to it.
41:32
Like I feel like it was not. And it would never and basically
41:34
they would never not work. Even if they're leaking like
41:36
literally like a quart of oil a day.
41:37
I like the head. They're always gonna work.
41:39
Nuts amount of oil goes in there.
41:41
Did you know that? Like 9 1/2 quarts?
41:43
Eight amount of quarts. Is it a DRY something?
41:45
Yeah, they're so they're dry, something like going way, way
41:47
back. Yeah.
41:48
Dude, that's the car I learned stick in right there.
41:50
The only reason I would like one of these because it's air
41:51
cooled. I think that is awesome.
41:53
Yeah, that's. All you would like.
41:55
Yeah, that's like my favorite part about.
41:57
I mean, a lot of these like you, you basically buy for the engine
42:00
and you buy for the steering feel.
42:01
That's the two things. And like he was, you know, Carl
42:04
was talking about seating position, seating position with
42:06
like a, with a bucket seat in these, if you set them, like a
42:09
lot of people tend to sit them too high.
42:10
It's like my biggest gripe. I like not that like I go
42:13
around, you know, at shows and like always will nitpick
42:15
problems with people's cars, but there's a few details to me that
42:18
like always jet out about cars and to me it's like seating
42:21
position. You see so many people get a
42:22
bucket seat and they don't understand that you can cut the
42:24
mounts. You can do a little bit of
42:26
custom modifications and stuff to make it fit for you
42:28
perfectly. There's so many times I look at
42:29
9 elevens and they're basically their seats are like this close
42:32
to the headliner. They're about to touch it.
42:34
Yeah. So for me, it's like, you know,
42:36
every single time I get a car, if it has bucket seats, I always
42:38
look, I'm like, did the owner already chopped the mounts?
42:39
If you didn't chop the mounts, I'm going to chop the mounts.
42:41
I think my dad made mounts for these.
42:43
Yeah, they are not. No, like hell yeah, yeah, no,
42:46
no, no. His are sitting like at the
42:48
proper level like, but we're short we're.
42:50
Short so like I think he like that was that was an accident, I
42:53
think. What was the car in the movie
42:55
that you? A slant nose one can you show?
42:58
That Malcolm. So a slant nose is just that.
43:01
It's a slanted nose. What year?
43:04
You could just go that they made it for a long time they'll.
43:07
That shit is sick. You fuck with that, it's that.
43:09
That's a 240. That's a 13 hatch.
43:12
No, go back up that angle, that shit.
43:15
That's a 13 hatch from car modify wonder.
43:18
And that color is good. That's Tom Nazaro.
43:21
No. That is literally Tom's car.
43:23
Absolutely not. Look at it.
43:24
Look at it again. It kind of looks like a.
43:26
Ferrari, rub your eyes a little bit and then look at it.
43:28
That car looks sick. It's Tom's car.
43:30
Show me that in black, Malcolm. You're just bossing Malcolm
43:34
around. Thank you, Malcolm.
43:36
No, with the with the rough, whatever wheels or whatever
43:39
speed line, whatever those are. So these are.
43:41
Those are like roofs. Yeah, those are roof wheels.
43:44
So these are turbo? There was one of those in white
43:47
at Ramsey and Ramsey for a while.
43:49
Yeah, yeah. So The funny thing is, like with
43:51
these cars, once you get into like the Slandos category and
43:54
stuff, like a lot of them are converted cars.
43:56
So they could be turbos, they could be NA.
43:57
A lot of people just had a lot of fun back in the day.
43:59
Are those? Is this a more desirable thing,
44:02
the slant nose? It depends on, again, it's like,
44:04
it's cool because some of these cars have different oddities
44:06
that people will attract to. More now go back up.
44:08
You ask me, you know I'm not about a slant nose.
44:11
I'm more about the purest look with the original.
44:12
Headlights I do like. I like that.
44:14
Yeah, to me, that's just the look that I've come accustomed
44:16
to and I get attracted to more. But you know, they're out there,
44:19
people like them. Yeah, you got a real hard on for
44:23
this fucking one that I'm. Comparing that's the angle of
44:25
it. That car looks sick.
44:29
So that's a converted Slando's car.
44:31
That looks like too much. And it's got like vintage car.
44:34
It's got like it. Looks JDM, that's what I like.
44:36
Yeah, that's what. Look at the wings.
44:37
It's like a Wong gun. It's like a Wong.
44:38
Gun car. Yeah, that's.
44:39
Probably what that is. I do want to bring this up since
44:43
it's kind of a hot topic lately. The RWB cars.
44:46
All right, so are you a fan? I'll put this on the record.
44:48
I you could say what you want. US build's not a fan of old
44:53
Japanese race builds that did back in the day.
44:56
I can get down with those I like.
44:59
For me it's just basically is it a stance car or not.
45:03
You know it's. Not all of them were good.
45:04
Yeah, because that's what I've seen with the American cars.
45:07
They've been. It's like what they do with it
45:08
though. Like what are they doing?
45:09
With them lately, it's just like I got a 9/11 and it's on bags
45:14
and then has big wheels cut it up and make it RWB and then
45:17
you're like, well, what are you gonna?
45:17
Yeah, what are you gonna do with it?
45:18
My dad. I mean, I would say the only
45:20
positive I would say to like the USRWB scene is they've really
45:23
built like a solid community. The people that the people that
45:27
you know that buy them, it's become more of like a social
45:29
thing in that like they're in their own group in a sense.
45:32
Like would I ever have crossover with a lot of the you know, the
45:34
US build guys? No, and I'm pretty like
45:37
straightforward to people when I talk about it, even to their,
45:39
you know, even to an owners face.
45:41
At the end of the day, I'm like, look, I can it's a nice you
45:43
know, I appreciate it, cool. It's but it's not something that
45:45
I'm going to go home and be like this shit was sick.
45:47
I'm never going to think about it again.
45:48
It's just in the moment. I'll look at it and you know,
45:50
some stuff is cool, like some details, but a lot of times the
45:54
US builds are just missing that raw factor that when I look at
45:56
like the Japanese RDB builds, you know, they're proper cars.
46:00
I also like that that dude, they raced them at scuba like they
46:03
had a little class of them. That shit's sick.
46:05
Like that is dope. And I like, I like how they
46:08
look. I like the wing and everything.
46:10
I think it's sick. Yeah, I like they're crazy.
46:14
They look crazy. So they have a presence on the
46:16
road that's like unmatched at the end of the day.
46:18
I mean, it's easy. It's easy to see one the whole
46:21
lane. Let's say this is the.
46:22
Lane take up the lane plus a little bit.
46:25
Takes. The entire lane I do.
46:28
Find it a little funny though, like you have a fucking NA964
46:31
and you have this car that looks like it's should be OK.
46:33
So it's honestly mic ripe isn't even that summer.
46:35
NA mic ripe is just that, you know, and the big thing people
46:39
like to say is they're like, OK, I just I just did the kit.
46:42
I'm worried about the engine later.
46:45
I always say to people, I'm like, no, you worry about, not
46:48
with that kid. No, no, you worry about the
46:49
engine first. Yeah.
46:51
I mean, both are equally expensive.
46:53
I mean, for Nikki to come here, it's I don't think it's cheap by
46:55
any means. I don't know exactly how much it
46:57
is, but it's definitely expensive.
46:58
And to build a Porsche engine in today's time, it's expensive if
47:02
you want to go make power on an NA set up.
47:04
And by power, I mean you're not really cracking like much power
47:07
out of. It like 250.
47:08
No, so like on like a 964 like I have, I have one right now
47:11
that's an NA 3.8 build. So from a three six, it's still
47:14
stroke. Yeah, yeah.
47:15
And it makes like one makes 290 wheel horsepower 275.
47:19
Yeah, that day he's probably so rowdy.
47:21
But then I have another one that, you know, again, dyno
47:24
sheets. People could talk about dyno
47:26
sheets forever and say like, are they right?
47:27
Are they not? It depends on the dyno it's on.
47:29
European dynos tend to be like a little bit, I would say, like,
47:32
you know, they inflate the numbers a little bit.
47:34
And it says. Kilowatt.
47:35
What is a kilowatt? The torque.
47:37
The torque numbers are. Horsepower.
47:39
Brother no. So they do horsepower, but it's
47:41
the torque that's a that's some different way.
47:43
And I always go, what is the portion table?
47:45
I forget the. What is a kilowatt?
47:47
I forget. What it is?
47:48
Maybe not where where you're doing the visit, but you know
47:50
what I'm talking about, right? The kW what is I don't know what
47:53
that. Is something like.
47:55
Damn, that's a pretty high number.
47:56
Or when it says. PS.
47:57
Yeah. So what is the PS?
47:59
That's that's what, that's the torque.
48:00
Number. What is it?
48:01
Shit, I thought that was the horsepower.
48:03
No. So horsepower is horsepower, but
48:05
they do some weird. Yeah, God.
48:06
Damn, So what was I got a. Lot to learn.
48:08
So the number on that car is 3/30 wheel out of bullshit.
48:11
No, I'm kidding. Which is no like.
48:12
I really don't so look. NA as well.
48:14
NA as well, I talked to the guy that tuned the car we've you
48:16
know, we've had a lot of conversation you know at the end
48:19
of the day, they tune with a little bit better gas out there
48:21
so they get like you know like. You said 380.
48:24
No 33330. OK, No, no, no, no, no.
48:27
I need Malcolm. To try Oh Malcolm PS is for
48:29
horsepower. Malcolm, can you say what that
48:31
word? Said PS stands for.
48:36
For darts, Ford, Ford the Ford, the Stark.
48:43
A German word that translates to horse strength.
48:45
Horse strength. That was awesome, Malcolm.
48:48
We didn't need the horse, but no.
48:50
No, no, no, no, no. The German language is.
48:52
Tough. The German language is tough,
48:53
yeah. I think he did a good job.
48:54
Do you know it? Do you know it?
48:55
No, I don't know it, but you know, Google Translate helps a
48:58
lot when I need it. Or honestly I just, I lean on
49:01
the people in Germany that I'm friends with to be like, hey,
49:03
like can you get on the phone and help with this because we're
49:06
fucked right now. The seller doesn't know what I
49:08
mean like. Forget Malcolm Horse.
49:13
Oh, he's going to try to find someone.
49:16
Let's see. I think you could have.
49:18
Just. The Google Translate, yeah,
49:20
Google Translate. You could just click the button
49:22
and it will like it will speak it for you.
49:23
Yeah, just rewind. That's correct.
49:24
Hit the rewind. OK, go back again.
49:26
Yeah, yeah, yeah. To the and then yeah, that word
49:32
translate and then read it. Here we go, Fadistaka.
49:40
You. Were you were so No, he was.
49:42
Pretty close. You were very wrong, Fadistaka.
49:46
You know my name's Karl with AK, right?
49:47
Yeah. Come on, chill out.
49:49
So Germany I hear is a beautiful place.
49:53
Could you confirm or deny? I would say it's a nice place.
49:57
Food is probably the worst country of anywhere I've been.
49:59
Really. What, you don't fuck with
50:00
Schnitzel? Must be.
50:01
It's probably healthy. So I don't like Schnitzel.
50:03
What? Yeah, Yeah, I don't like
50:05
Schnitzel. I.
50:06
Love it. I don't know.
50:07
I fucked with it, yeah. No, I remember we were at like
50:10
back in March, I was out there with my buddy and like the first
50:12
thing he went for, we were like out of spot and he's like, I'm
50:14
going to get Schnitzel. And I looked at him.
50:15
I said I don't even want to eat here.
50:17
I said I gotta go somewhere else.
50:18
The only positive is they got. What do you eat?
50:20
Hold on, hold on. Here we go, Hold on hold.
50:22
On what in general, what do I? Eat.
50:23
Yeah, I guess. So I know we get in general
50:25
you're of like an Asian diet more than anything, so.
50:27
What, rice Every day? Yeah.
50:29
OK, OK, OK. I thought with you.
50:31
Dumpling, sushi, Chinese, you know it all rotates.
50:33
OK, but you're importing European cars?
50:36
Yeah. So when I go out there, you
50:37
know, and aside from like, you know, your German food out
50:40
there, a lot of like donors huge.
50:42
So like kebabs or gyros, that's a huge thing outside.
50:46
Yeah, McDonald's is really good in Germany.
50:48
We should probably stop talking about this.
50:49
Yeah, I'm going to get very hungry.
50:51
What's that McDonald's in Germany that you can't get here?
50:53
Shut up Frankie, I need to hear about.
50:54
That they got different sauces. Sauces.
50:57
They got yeah. That's what you're going to
50:58
bring up to me right now, not like a limited edition Big Mac.
51:00
No, something like that. They got different stuff too,
51:02
like the. And what the meat quality is,
51:04
What's it's better? It is, yeah.
51:06
You can get like snack grabs still out there.
51:07
You can get different. Stuff, see, I went to, I went to
51:10
Japan and I was, I had McDonald's, I had everything on
51:12
the menu. So I don't want to hear anything
51:13
from anyone. And no one, no one was Brexit.
51:17
And I'm going to go with America's way better than that.
51:21
What I'm going to say that's probably way healthier for you.
51:25
Yeah, that's why it's also way worse.
51:27
Germany, what did you miss? Everything.
51:30
I'm just Nuggets. The Nuggets don't taste as
51:32
poison, so they don't taste as good.
51:33
You're missing the gristle. I'm missing the poison, that's
51:36
what it is. I don't know.
51:36
What it is. But the food here is poison,
51:39
yeah. Yes.
51:39
Like I don't actually want it. We all want a little bit of
51:41
funnel. But you're driving down the
51:42
highway and you look in their corner and they're like shit.
51:45
You see like a Taco Bell, a Wendy's, a Burger King.
51:48
And like normally at the Taco Bell you'll try and say no, The
51:50
Wendy's, you're like debating it.
51:51
And then you may turn into the Burger King, but you.
51:53
May go to the Wendy's. Fuck yeah, that's the.
51:55
That happened to be yesterday, so I've I've been through it.
51:58
McDonald's is like crack for me and luckily I don't eat it a lot
52:05
but like. Shut up.
52:06
Yes, you. Definitely do.
52:08
When was the last time you had it?
52:09
I probably only eat McDonald's with Malcolm, so Malcolm
52:12
probably knows the last time. Last time I it's been a.
52:15
Like two months, a couple months.
52:16
Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
52:18
I don't need it on like. A lot right now.
52:20
But like I God it's so good. I caved yesterday and had to get
52:24
Burger King chicken. Fries I got.
52:25
You got Burger King yesterday too, but except I got the I got
52:29
a Whopper 'cause there was a deal on it or something in my
52:31
town. God.
52:32
But I heard Germany is like really clean.
52:33
It's super clean cities, super nice, the people are pretty
52:36
friendly. I heard the women are freaks.
52:39
So just overall people are freaks out.
52:41
Yeah, that's just yeah. I'm not even no, no, no, no.
52:46
I wish I was no part part part of the last trip.
52:49
We ended up, we were my buddy and I, we were at Old Race in
52:51
Poland. We did one day of the show.
52:53
We were hanging out by the drift track, having a good time, just
52:55
hanging out. Explain old race just.
52:57
Breathe. Yeah.
52:58
We don't know what that is, but yeah, yeah.
53:00
Yeah, So Old Race is by far like the craziest show anyone can
53:03
ever go to and probably their life it would.
53:05
You know, if anyone watching this goes back to like H2O or
53:07
any of those days, like blows that shit out of the water.
53:10
The town gets rowdy at night. People are either, you know,
53:13
also partying at the stadium where the show is.
53:15
You have the craziest builds you'll probably ever see in your
53:17
life. And what I mean, like quality, I
53:19
mean, like actually quality shit.
53:21
And like on some weird, like random cars that you'll never
53:24
normally see and you look and you're like, hell yeah, oh fuck,
53:26
they're crazy. And then you go to the drift
53:28
track and then you see, you know, you'll see your S
53:29
Thirteens, you'll see, you know, your typical drift cars.
53:32
But then you'll see like a Mercedes drift car with like an
53:33
OM6O6 turbo diesel in it. And the guy fucking sends it
53:36
with four people in the car. Yeah, if he could do 5, someone
53:39
in the middle seat, he'll do five.
53:40
Yeah, yeah. You know, like it's crazy.
53:42
And where? What track is?
53:43
This so is that not on a track? It's at a stadium and they kind
53:45
of, they make a track on the side using some of the roads.
53:48
But you're, you know, Drifters or, or drivers are basically
53:50
driving. They're doing pavement, then
53:52
they're doing like brick cobblestone setup and then it
53:54
goes back to pavement. Whoa.
53:55
And it's rowdy. They don't, you know, a lot of
53:57
cars go out at one time and then you look in the top corner and
53:59
you'll see like 10,000 people looking down at you.
54:02
Yeah. So if you wreck, you know,
54:03
everyone's seeing it. You know it's a cool.
54:05
Time. What town is this?
54:06
In So that's in Warsaw. I'm going to pronounce this
54:08
wrong. It's certainly Rokla, but it's
54:10
Wartsov. I was.
54:11
Like, I don't know, I've never been.
54:13
Yeah. So that's cool.
54:15
You know, good time. We were out there for a bit.
54:17
And then you got dead dead. So no, sorry, get.
54:20
Ready to elaborate on how you are actually a closet?
54:23
For. No, no, no, no.
54:25
So I'm more so. Get.
54:26
No, not a not a closet freak, but what I always say to people
54:30
is like, you got to experience like what life is and like when
54:35
you're in some places that you normally will never be too
54:37
fucked up. No, no, no, I didn't do anything
54:39
crazy. No, no, no, no, I did nothing
54:41
crazy. Now my buddy and I basically we
54:43
were, we were at old race. We had a really good first day
54:46
there, but at the end of the day, there was just so many
54:48
people that we couldn't even look at the cars anymore and
54:50
enjoy that. And we looked at each other like
54:53
the show's going to be the same tomorrow.
54:54
The drifting's going to be the same tomorrow.
54:55
And we're like, we only are do we did a 3500 kilometer road
54:58
trip over five days. We were driving like maniacs.
55:01
And I, you know, I looked at him.
55:02
I said Berlin's a crazy party scene.
55:04
Yeah, Yeah. I was like, do you want to go?
55:06
And he was like, I was waiting for you to say this.
55:08
He's like not and not and not me and not in.
55:11
Your him right there. Yeah, and not in the sense of
55:13
going there and partying and being a part of the madness,
55:16
more so just seeing it first hand because I'm not a big
55:20
partier. I don't really club much.
55:21
But for me, if you look up club scenes, you look up anything,
55:24
Berlin is in a world of its own as far as like what goes on
55:28
there. And you just hear stories
55:30
because when you go into these clubs, your phones are covered.
55:32
They put stickers on both sides. You can't.
55:34
You literally you're in there and you're in your own private
55:37
world. That's cool that are there.
55:38
Yeah. So it's.
55:39
Yeah. So if you think that's cool, you
55:40
may actually have fun in Berlin just going and just hanging out.
55:43
And you honestly, you party there.
55:44
You don't get to the club till 2:00 AM.
55:45
And when you go, people typically stay for the whole
55:48
weekend. So they're not leaving.
55:49
Literally once you walk into the club, if you want, you know,
55:53
we'll say if you want drugs, you want to go party, they literally
55:55
have a station for you to go do that.
55:57
It's all technically legal. They have food in there.
56:00
How is it like they legalized? It's if you.
56:02
Look up, like kind of like Berlin strike.
56:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Berlin, Berlin club, yeah, is
56:07
super, like super, yeah. Basically, if the city was built
56:10
on it, barely. I mean, it's crazy.
56:12
It's to the point. It's to the point you could be
56:13
at a club. And like this one spot we were
56:15
at, there's a massive courtyard and it kind of connects all.
56:18
Like basically they're very small, like a DJ will go on set
56:20
and like the room could be half the size of this and it's filled
56:23
to the brim with people and everyone's like half naked.
56:25
Like it's a little rowdy. But like for us, we weren't
56:28
going and they were kind of seeing it from the outside.
56:30
Like what the fuck is going on? That's what we went for, to try
56:31
to figure out what this place is like.
56:33
Half naked or naked? Like half naked.
56:35
Some are probably naked. Like are they just have orgies
56:37
in these? Honestly, Yeah.
56:39
OK, yeah. Another question for you.
56:41
Wait, so drugs are legal in Berlin?
56:43
Is that the thing I heard? So yeah, drugs, maybe not full
56:46
blown, but. Maybe a Gray area Maybe?
56:49
Is that what I want to? Say I would say like a Gray
56:50
area, whatever. Happened.
56:51
I know weed was illegal in Berlin for the 1st.
56:54
But. Whatever happens in those clubs,
56:56
they're kind of allowed to just run on their own and do it.
56:59
But what's wild is like the city's been building up over the
57:01
years, so these clubs all started out kind of annex
57:04
places. And like warehouses and.
57:06
Shit. But now it's kind of like, OK,
57:08
you could have, you could be at the club and you could walk into
57:10
their courtyard and then look across the street, like
57:12
literally like just 20 feet away and it's an apartment building
57:15
and you could look up and be like, oh, like that person's
57:17
like in their bathroom right now.
57:18
Like, it's like, very weird how like, the city has kind of grown
57:21
around the culture, but the culture still hasn't been kicked
57:23
out yet. So it's a very, yeah.
57:26
I mean, that was seeing some shit.
57:27
And then also when we drove through like Estonia and Latvia
57:30
at like middle of the night with no cell service because Verizon
57:33
had an outage. While we were out there.
57:34
Oh, great. Convenient, yeah.
57:36
We got a, we were coming from Finland into, I believe we were
57:39
in Estonia or Latvia at that time, or Lithuania.
57:41
No, it was Lithuania. Where else?
57:43
What other countries did you go to?
57:45
So out there, you know, I've been the last road trip was was
57:48
Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Germany,
57:52
Belgium. Was there a hot spot where you
57:54
were like, I'm going to look over there because there's a lot
57:57
of G bodies over here or I'm going to?
57:59
That whole trip looking at sales.
58:01
Data from back in the day. Like there's a lot of fucking
58:03
9/11 sold in this area. I need to go here.
58:05
No. So that trip started because
58:06
there was a really funky, wild 964 that I found in Finland.
58:11
And when I found the build and like looked it up, I was like,
58:13
damn, this guy built a fucking really special car.
58:15
I don't want to just pay for it and just have it shipped here.
58:18
I want to go meet the guy and I want to go on a massive road
58:20
trip in some countries I'll never normally go to with no
58:23
plan. What was special about it?
58:24
What drew you to it? The car.
58:25
Yeah, yeah. Could we see this car in here or
58:27
is that impossible? Is it on your Instagram?
58:29
It's on my Instagram, yeah. What color is it?
58:31
So Malcolm King? Yeah, it's glazed quickly.
58:33
Or maybe you could put it over. Here.
58:34
Damn, he had that shit up there fast.
58:35
Yeah, for really feel. Like had it ready to go.
58:37
Yeah, that was good. So.
58:38
Scroll down to like 1 bar because I just posted it for
58:40
sale. Shout out somebody buy that
58:42
thing. The one on the bottom right.
58:45
Oh, so still for sale right now? Yeah, still for sale right now.
58:47
Yeah, I got a couple people. On this is the road trip car.
58:50
This is the road trip car. Yeah, yeah, this.
58:53
And when I bought this shit, the the owner was like, yeah, I've
58:55
never really driven it further than like 200 kilometers from
58:57
home. I was like, well, just know
58:59
where this thing's going. And I told him, I told him on
59:00
the plan and he was like, he was a mechanic.
59:02
So he's like, I'll make sure it works.
59:04
And I was like, please make sure it works, yeah.
59:07
Wow, we actually really. Yeah, we drove 3500km / 5 days,
59:11
had a little bit of track time with it, didn't do anything too
59:13
crazy, but got it out on the Nurburgring for a little bit.
59:15
That's cool. Do.
59:16
You know who that person is right there who commented do
59:19
work on the bottom. Yeah, I've followed him for mad
59:22
long because he had a a Volkswagen, a Rabbit for Yeah.
59:25
Wow. I had an Audi.
59:26
Shot, Jason. That's his name.
59:28
I never even knew his name. I've just been following him for
59:31
fucking like 8 years. He's got quality.
59:32
Nine years he's got. Quality tastes.
59:34
You see he's never met him. See a CRX build.
59:37
I I think I might have recently he does.
59:38
Some, you know, he's like he's like a funky guy who like
59:41
connected from yeah and he. Yeah, So what exactly is a
59:44
964RS38IS? That all right, so this car is
59:48
if it was an Rs 3.8 it would be wild.
59:50
It's a tribute car that basically just goes to it with
59:53
all factory stuffed, you know and the engine build is
59:55
basically the mirror image. The factory car, the factory car
59:57
is worth like $1.2 million at a minimum right now.
1:00:01
So, you know, that car's basically, you know.
1:00:04
Impossible to get. So it's it's a bigger motor and
1:00:07
what's the Rs is like stripped? Version or something.
1:00:09
So the Rs 3.8 was basically like a it was built motor stripped
1:00:14
down, full cage, basically like a race car, yeah.
1:00:17
And they made and that wing, that wing comes.
1:00:19
Yeah. What the fuck?
1:00:22
Look at how wide that big. Gap, yeah, but you know this car
1:00:24
between the build, the colour like everything.
1:00:26
Was just red about it. And it was olfactory like the
1:00:28
colour was that car originally so.
1:00:30
That's a PTS. No.
1:00:31
So back in the day, this was just, there are certain colours
1:00:34
that were like just undesired by the world at the time.
1:00:36
Wow. This was an undesired this.
1:00:38
Was actually, so it was a part of the original catalogue in
1:00:40
nine in like 1990. You could just go in and order a
1:00:43
velvet red car. But a lot of people ended up not
1:00:45
doing it. So you don't really see this
1:00:46
colour as often as like honestly you should.
1:00:48
Yeah, yeah. You see a lot more just like
1:00:50
their, like their, you know their bright red colour that the
1:00:52
colour's red. Yeah, this one's nice.
1:00:55
So. So would this be considered like
1:00:57
a turbo body? Yeah.
1:00:58
So this is a complete turbo body converted so you know using
1:01:01
olfactory parts. Because that's why you said.
1:01:03
Body funny, just that turbo body I.
1:01:06
Think I say everything funny, Carl?
1:01:07
Yeah, I do. I do.
1:01:08
So when they sold this car it was basically a turbo body car
1:01:13
with an NA 3.8. So it started out as a narrow
1:01:15
body C2. But I'm saying when the real. 10
1:01:18
the real one, yeah, the real one they would basically did a a
1:01:21
naturally aspirated motor with a turbo look factory.
1:01:23
OK, Yeah, God. Damn.
1:01:25
But then they stripped it out, gutted it, made it a wild, you
1:01:27
know. Yeah, that's cool.
1:01:29
So this is like, yeah, this is like me putting A180SX window in
1:01:31
my car. It's a tribute.
1:01:33
Yeah, that looks honestly the color is just hitting so.
1:01:36
Far but like what's cool is you know what jetted out to me just
1:01:39
about this car was special build motor you know motor makes a
1:01:42
good amount of power it's very usable yeah and the car's
1:01:45
friendly to take on road trips and I mean not that not.
1:01:48
A radio in there. No SO.
1:01:49
This car, this car we get. The full 3500 kilometer road
1:01:52
trip with a full radio delete. We had working AC so that was
1:01:56
nice. Oh, that's kind of.
1:01:57
Sick. Yeah, the car came Machine for
1:01:59
this car. Yeah, the car came with no AC
1:02:00
from the factory. The previous owner was like such
1:02:03
a maniac. He took a factory AC unit, found
1:02:05
a way to put it back in the car and it and it functions.
1:02:07
Well, that's so. Weird that my dad's car also had
1:02:10
AC actually, now that I think about it, but yet I feel like it
1:02:13
didn't look like it would have it.
1:02:16
Like it's fucking weird. Yeah, yeah.
1:02:18
So it had, you know, it had AC, no radio, and we, you know, we
1:02:23
had no cell service for like 8 hours of the drive, which was
1:02:26
probably the sketchiest drive I'll probably ever do.
1:02:28
Hey, but you have a, you have a 911.
1:02:30
So like you're you're kind of set.
1:02:31
That's cool, man. You're cool.
1:02:32
You're cool one. So do you like older cars than
1:02:36
this or do you focus on? Cars like my, you know, like I
1:02:39
would say like where my attraction goes the most is
1:02:41
stuffing from the 90s. Oh, OK.
1:02:44
Yeah, anything kind of older, I start to lose touch with it, but
1:02:46
I lose touch with it from like my perspective of what I like,
1:02:49
but also from like the driving perspective.
1:02:52
The older ones take a lot to make really good.
1:02:54
These cars, although like this car is very rowdy and it's
1:02:56
probably as far as you can go and still keep it like a factory
1:02:59
looking car. The older cars require a lot
1:03:02
more love to make fun to drive. But you can buy, you know, you
1:03:05
can buy a stock 964. You could do a couple mods of
1:03:08
the car and it will completely change the characteristics
1:03:10
without really going too far. The car is still just as
1:03:12
reliable as it was. What do I got at home for one of
1:03:15
these? I think I have like tension
1:03:16
rods. What like my dad just gave me
1:03:19
his bin of shit, car shit and he was like just take this.
1:03:21
I got nowhere to do with it. I think I'd have tension rods
1:03:24
for one of one of these. I'm going to try to get my dad
1:03:26
to listen to that. Color.
1:03:27
Is he likes the older ones? Yeah, he likes like 60s, maybe
1:03:31
70s, but I think he likes 60s nine elevens.
1:03:33
That color is talk. Do you see that velvet?
1:03:37
I like it. Imagine Lexus IS300 in that
1:03:41
motherfucking colorway. Not an orange amber corner on
1:03:44
that thing. They're all clear.
1:03:47
Yeah. You, you see what I'm doing,
1:03:49
Frankie? I am.
1:03:50
I am. I am like learning here.
1:03:53
Yeah. I'm.
1:03:53
Learning a lot, yeah. And like, and the cool thing is
1:03:55
like with this car too, like it's kind of like a bunch of
1:03:59
parts from different 9 elevens. Like the brakes are from A996
1:04:01
Turbo, so they're from a, you know, off a 2004.
1:04:04
So then it makes it serviceable? Kind of.
1:04:05
Nah, not. I mean not kind of.
1:04:07
Like I mean like you can order, no getting the parts are super
1:04:10
easy. And the thing I like about
1:04:11
Porsche is like the older stuff is easy to fit on the old like
1:04:14
or the newer stuff is easier to fit on old cars.
1:04:16
It's not really like too much of a problem.
1:04:18
A lot of stuff just ends up holding straight up.
1:04:21
So it allows you to kind of, you know, you can modernize a car
1:04:24
but still keep the roots to what it was.
1:04:26
Give me an example of what people what an easy bolt on
1:04:29
upgrade that's new right now. Brakes.
1:04:31
I guess so. Brakes is easy, but even the to
1:04:34
the engines they I mean they bolt like what your dad?
1:04:36
Yeah, that that swap. When you could swap right away
1:04:38
and you're making way more horsepower and with a way more
1:04:40
reliable motor in a car that's really light.
1:04:42
So you make something, but it's still in the terms of like going
1:04:45
to sell that car, it doesn't really affect the value to the
1:04:48
right person. They're going to pay more.
1:04:49
And there's so many people looking for a Porsche right now
1:04:51
that everyone's tastes are different, so.
1:04:54
Now, OK, fast forwarding up a little bit car without that I
1:04:59
would drive right now that I would like is a newer one that's
1:05:01
a hodgepodge of stuff is if you took a Cayman like a 987.1, so
1:05:05
like the round one still and then you took the 9/11 engine
1:05:08
and put it in that. I think that's a thing though.
1:05:12
So the newer ones, they started putting the four liters in like
1:05:14
a newer like Spider or you can get it like the newer ones.
1:05:17
But and the older stuff, no ones really doing it.
1:05:19
They did do 6 cylinders back in the day.
1:05:21
Or like you know, Chelsea Donova has got like his turbo set up,
1:05:23
one that he's been drifting with recently.
1:05:25
Yeah, but but no, no, I'm talking like just a drive.
1:05:29
I wouldn't want the. I saw a video of that and seeing
1:05:33
that drift is so wild. Do you ever see it?
1:05:34
It looks so effortless, like just going.
1:05:38
Now, is that rear engine? No, it's mid.
1:05:40
That's mid engine. OK.
1:05:41
There is a there's an old 993GT2 that was a race car that
1:05:46
somebody converted to a drift car in Japan and drove it.
1:05:48
There's videos out there of that thing that's like the only rear
1:05:51
engine thing I've like ever seen RIP around but mid engine seems
1:05:55
to work. Yeah, Tyler.
1:05:56
Yeah, that's Chelsea's car is the same as Tyler's car.
1:06:00
You have you ever seen Tyler? 'S record, yeah, yeah.
1:06:02
And what year is that? 14, I think 15.
1:06:07
I'm one of those people that like if it's on 9/11, I don't
1:06:09
look at it. So that's how I was for a while.
1:06:12
You you would think, OK, madness.
1:06:13
You yeah, you would think I would be a Porsche guy, but I
1:06:15
really, I'm not. But like, if it's not 911, I'm
1:06:17
just like, yeah, I. Mean, I just had the yellow one
1:06:19
here that was a different Porsche.
1:06:21
Yeah, see, I didn't really look at it.
1:06:22
No, I was building shit. But yeah, like to me, I'm just
1:06:25
like, it's not 911 then. See, but that gives you the feel
1:06:28
of like a lot of like your Japanese stuff that you'd
1:06:30
probably you'd like that car, that car you know to.
1:06:33
Force. You got to open, you got to
1:06:34
force it. Yeah, I have to like.
1:06:35
You have to drive it. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:37
You got to force it a little bit and then he will get it not.
1:06:40
Get it 'cause I guess I don't feel that way about like a GTR.
1:06:42
Like I see a four door, yeah, but my mind goes to, oh, I can
1:06:45
drift that one 'cause it's not a GTR.
1:06:47
But maybe there's something you might learn so you.
1:06:49
Wouldn't you wouldn't drift the GTR and like convert it to
1:06:51
drift? No, if it was a GTRI would leave
1:06:53
it a GTR. Yes.
1:06:55
Yeah. So keep all-wheel drive.
1:06:56
Yeah, let it. Roll.
1:06:57
I would race it somewhere else, like I would do what the GTR
1:07:00
maybe was more meant to go do when you go do the racing.
1:07:04
But I saw like a four door R34. I'd be like, we got to destroy
1:07:07
this thing. Yeah.
1:07:07
Beat it up. Yeah, we need to, yeah.
1:07:09
So what's your thoughts R swab? I know you have a 2 door drift
1:07:11
car but if you if you could go back in time or right now if you
1:07:16
ever start it's fresh. Same car for me.
1:07:19
He would, he would. Get the same car.
1:07:20
I would, but the only other one I do like is an R34 four door.
1:07:23
I think that would be cool. Is it Frankie?
1:07:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him real
1:07:28
quick. Will you guys keep going?
1:07:29
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:07:30
I have a four door drift car and I would get a different car
1:07:33
right away. Yeah, Yep.
1:07:35
You heard it here. Yeah, I would get a 2 door,
1:07:38
maybe not AZ, but I would get an FRS or a BRZ, mainly because of
1:07:44
that shape. Earlier I made a big deal about
1:07:46
the fact that that has the shape.
1:07:47
Same with the 9/11 has the shape.
1:07:49
It's like a short butt, but it's like a fat butt.
1:07:51
Like it's just like. Yeah, and it's got boxy.
1:07:53
Fat and long front. Yeah, long front.
1:07:55
That's like A and. This car's funny 'cause it's a
1:07:57
long front for no reason. It's got a 4 cylinder front.
1:07:59
Yeah, yeah, it's not even. Dude, the room is.
1:08:01
Not. Hang on, that thing in the front
1:08:03
is you got a lot of room from there to the front of the
1:08:08
bumper. God, that's probably like a one
1:08:09
of the better looking. Yeah, I mean it's. 968 I've.
1:08:12
Seen this is like an oddball car.
1:08:14
It's this one is a factory race car for Porsche, like they
1:08:16
built, you know, about like 1300 units back in the day that were
1:08:19
like very race inspired. That looks like a pace.
1:08:21
Car someone actually you know the car just no sold on bring a
1:08:24
trailer. But in the comments someone gave
1:08:26
me some interesting information most likely that this car was a
1:08:29
part of like when they launched the car at the Nurburgring
1:08:31
during like a Porsche classic event back in 92.
1:08:34
This was one of the three cars that was ripped around the
1:08:36
Nurburgring. We don't know of 100%, but it's
1:08:39
cool that a lot of these cars, you know, have Porsche history
1:08:41
because this is, you know, aside from, like, that is it?
1:08:43
Yeah. I mean, you know, the wheels are
1:08:44
changed. It's got a different exhaust,
1:08:45
but everything else on the car is a, you know, the factory
1:08:47
looked the way it came. The seats are original like.
1:08:50
That thing is fucking next level clean and I'm sure that that's
1:08:54
just like little example of what you fucking got.
1:08:56
Yeah, I mean, this was one of those just like some cars are
1:09:00
hitless cars that I don't really.
1:09:01
God damn it, I can't. I can't.
1:09:03
I can't look at the headlights. Malcolm.
1:09:04
Next photo. Next photo.
1:09:05
Next photo. Next photo.
1:09:06
I never really tried. So odd.
1:09:08
It's so odd to me. They.
1:09:09
Pop up like that. It's cool though.
1:09:10
You you flip the switch and you just watch them go and you hear,
1:09:12
you know, you just see them pop. Up dude it's so odd I when I
1:09:15
first saw one do it I was. Yeah, and then when you RIP in
1:09:17
like any back rows with them up, you just feel like you're way
1:09:19
back in time. It's actually pretty cool when
1:09:20
you're driving at night, but I don't like the way they look
1:09:22
when they're up. Look at the Yeah, hold on,
1:09:24
Malcolm, leave the next photo. Look at the.
1:09:26
Look at the you know what this reminds you of?
1:09:28
It reminds you of of of DeWalt racing.
1:09:36
Oh yeah, that is cool, Yeah. Yeah, dude, that thing is
1:09:38
fucking sweet. So 9. 60 You know why?
1:09:41
Because I feel like it looks like a 240.
1:09:42
Yeah, it has the feel of like, and even when you're in it, like
1:09:46
it's not, it's not a 9/11 feel. It's different.
1:09:49
It's in its own spot. But like, they're special.
1:09:51
The materials and like the tactileness is like of that era,
1:09:56
like it feels like the other cars.
1:09:57
So that's why I'm like. It's hard not to appreciate that
1:10:00
car. That thing is clean.
1:10:02
But like if I saw that stock, I'd be like, oh, it's not on the
1:10:04
IT was. Funnier, yeah.
1:10:05
You wouldn't even know what it was so stock.
1:10:07
This car came with color match yellow wheels from factory.
1:10:09
That's cool. That's a stock set up like a 5
1:10:11
spoke. But this thing is like really
1:10:13
clean. 120,000 miles, Yeah. Still for sale?
1:10:18
Still for sale, honestly. Don't.
1:10:20
No need to. Still for sale but I don't even
1:10:21
know if I should sell it honestly.
1:10:23
What's up with? These lights, do they stay like
1:10:25
that? They pop up like.
1:10:26
That they go like that, yeah. That's fucking.
1:10:30
You just missed our whole conversation about.
1:10:32
This so he likes that you don't like that I do like.
1:10:34
Look at the wait, wait, wait, wait, look.
1:10:35
At the look at the overhang, look at the overhang of the
1:10:38
engine, engine. Sorry, Malcolm, I did not mean
1:10:39
to look how far back that thing is.
1:10:42
That's good. Yes, 5050 weight balance like
1:10:45
these cars were basically like back in the day and even still
1:10:48
now they're probably the most confident.
1:10:49
Transferring the back. Transmissions in the back,
1:10:51
Jesus. Okay, yeah, cool.
1:10:54
Very funky car. Funky as fuck.
1:10:56
Wait there's another one they made though right?
1:10:58
That was like front engine rear drive that no one really likes
1:11:02
is an 80s car. So they did so.
1:11:04
That is that 1-924-944-9519. So the one, the one, yeah.
1:11:09
So the one people like a little funky on like I mean 924 is like
1:11:12
they're they're cool. 92 eights had a big V8 up front.
1:11:16
Yeah. The guy from like apparently
1:11:17
like the there was like a designer from Corvette that got
1:11:20
involved on the car. If you ever look at like a 928
1:11:22
front, just think of a Corvette now like an older Corvette, like
1:11:24
a Stingray and you'll. Can you pull up a 928?
1:11:26
Malcolm? You, you're gonna hate this
1:11:28
thing. I'm sure I would.
1:11:29
They did. Really wild interiors on these
1:11:31
though back in the day. Like the most wild interiors you
1:11:34
could go. Where do these lights go up?
1:11:35
Oh, they go up a different. Way No.
1:11:37
They do the same thing they do. They do the same thing.
1:11:39
But I'm looking at that grey one, it doesn't look the.
1:11:40
Same. Nah, they do.
1:11:41
Look. Click that Grey 1, Malcolm.
1:11:44
Oh, okay. Boat Mobile.
1:11:45
Yeah, you're right. The lights do look bad, Carl,
1:11:47
but it's cool that they pop up like.
1:11:49
That my dad had one of these as well.
1:11:50
That he flipped, which was weird.
1:11:52
Not, not not rolled over. Like that car looks pretty sick.
1:11:56
What? And that's stock, right?
1:11:58
Yeah, that's fully stock. It kind of looks.
1:12:00
But I believe and they built. This car for years that's.
1:12:02
A big lifted one, that's a newer one, right?
1:12:04
Yeah. That's not the one to the right
1:12:05
of that is is is booty. But I don't like that.
1:12:08
One, I'm thinking of something else that people, people always
1:12:10
have this car and they're like, Oh, yeah, I got a Porsche and
1:12:12
I'm like, oh. It's 944.
1:12:14
It's probably 944. 2:40. Yeah, it's that.
1:12:17
Yeah, yeah, kind of like RX7 like.
1:12:19
Yeah, I'm good on this thing. That is what you like.
1:12:23
That is your car right there. The one to the left is your car.
1:12:27
What engine does this come with? So these were similar motors,
1:12:30
just a little bit like older in time.
1:12:32
So it's still a 4 cylinder. 2.4. KA see, when I see that I'm just
1:12:36
like you could have bought a 180SX and then you would have
1:12:38
the right car not. AKA but it was a 2.4 I think
1:12:42
think. Don't do the lights on the other
1:12:44
one. I'm not sure about and they were
1:12:45
pretty durable I think. No, they they were.
1:12:48
No, they hold up. They.
1:12:49
Were only out motor the. The same issues happened with
1:12:51
these as 960 eights. A timing belt service is like
1:12:53
the biggest thing. Boosted 1 so I almost got a lot
1:12:56
of people put. LSS in these though this is a
1:12:58
new thing that's. Probably why I hate them I've.
1:13:01
I almost got one of these as my first car, the one to the right
1:13:04
of this one. Cool.
1:13:05
I guess that one. So I was looking at this one in
1:13:08
Vermont at the time, and it looked a lot similar to this
1:13:12
same color. S2 front bumpers.
1:13:14
Yeah, but it wasn't a turbo. So I had that Yeah, facelifted
1:13:17
front and the rear wing was paint matched.
1:13:20
Yeah. And I was like.
1:13:21
Fuck, I need it. And then I found out what a 240
1:13:24
was. The car reminds me of something
1:13:25
but I don't know what it is. Oh I know what it is, it's AZ.
1:13:28
You think it's AZ like AZ? Whenever I look at this, I think
1:13:31
more. RX7.
1:13:31
I do think of an RX7. I'm with you.
1:13:33
I think that 80Z. Yeah.
1:13:37
Malcolm Z 30, yes. Damn, that was quick.
1:13:42
That was good. That was quick.
1:13:43
Impressed. Like that?
1:13:45
That looks that that specific one right there is that.
1:13:47
No, that shit's sick. That one's sick.
1:13:49
But I've never fucking seen one like that top.
1:13:52
Left top left another angle of the same car.
1:13:54
Yeah, that one's kind of. Cool.
1:13:55
God damn. But.
1:13:57
Project Z 31432 are the long road to completion.
1:14:00
Wow, speeding of completion. I'm going to go to the bathroom.
1:14:03
OK, yeah, I don't know how that. OK go down, Malcolm.
1:14:09
Why didn't none of these cars look as ugly as I remember them
1:14:11
looking? Damn look at that Z32 drifting
1:14:14
Damn you got yo people listening y'all are fucking up.
1:14:17
Get AZ 32 man can someone start drifting this car?
1:14:20
Like I don't know why no one is. Look how sick that thing looks
1:14:23
so. What right now is probably like
1:14:24
the most like entry level affordable, nice car to look at
1:14:28
to drift. It's hard to say right now
1:14:30
because like, it seems like I don't know.
1:14:34
Malcolm might have an opinion on this too.
1:14:35
I usually I say 330 Z but. I'll say FRSFRS.
1:14:39
Is what I would. Yeah, that's probably what I
1:14:41
would. Yeah, but 350Z, to me, like if
1:14:44
you're going to compare both of those, I'd be like the Z is
1:14:46
still the better option because you could literally get in that
1:14:48
car and it's got 300 horsepower, you know?
1:14:52
Yeah, it's got enough. You need a seat and that's
1:14:55
probably it, and you're good. Can you get away with like a
1:14:57
simple angle kit on them and like?
1:14:59
You can do all that if you want, but yeah, there is a simple one.
1:15:01
There's like a some kind of a knuckle modification piece that
1:15:05
just like sandwiches in between and you can just do that.
1:15:09
That's what I would recommend to people.
1:15:10
And then and then, yeah, the cars got enough power.
1:15:13
Like you can have fun in that car for years before you're
1:15:16
like, oh, I need more the FRS. It's like a different
1:15:20
experience. Like, yeah, I you could drift
1:15:23
that, but it's not fast, so you might get bored quicker, you
1:15:27
know what I mean? So yeah, that's kind of how I
1:15:30
feel about that. I don't know.
1:15:31
But like, that's Z32I fucking love Z30 twos.
1:15:34
You don't see a lot of them anymore.
1:15:36
You don't. I remember you don't.
1:15:37
See. Cool ones pretty much ever.
1:15:39
Years ago I was in some like built in turbo and they made
1:15:41
power and I was like I'm fucking scared of these things now after
1:15:44
that. Yeah, I love the way that car
1:15:46
looks. I don't know why especially, I
1:15:48
mean that's the best angle to see a drift car in action, but I
1:15:51
know the bumpers like floppy and what not, but I really one day I
1:15:56
want to get one of these and build like a highway car like
1:15:58
that blue one right there. This one, I actually know this
1:16:01
car, Yeah. Yeah.
1:16:03
Yeah, this car sold pretty recently.
1:16:05
Really. Yeah, dealership in Miami, my
1:16:07
buddies spot. I don't really know much about
1:16:09
these cars like I know. This was like a built Japan
1:16:11
build, like special one. Like, I don't know, I saw the
1:16:13
car a couple weeks back and I actually, when I looked at it, I
1:16:15
was like, actually this shit's fucking sick.
1:16:17
Yeah, it's cool. Yeah.
1:16:18
And they're, dude, they're the engine's sick.
1:16:19
It's VG30 twin turbo. Like it's.
1:16:22
Oh. Yeah, no, they're, they're
1:16:22
different. Pretty legendary engine, you
1:16:25
know, I mean, I'm not AV six person, but like I if you have
1:16:28
twin turbos on it, it kind of changes it a little bit for me.
1:16:31
I'm like, OK, we can let that slide.
1:16:33
But yeah, I don't know. It would just be cool to like
1:16:36
see another thing is like in high school, there was one of my
1:16:38
friends that had he had a twin turbo Z and it was like everyone
1:16:44
knew like yo, he's got that car, but he never drove it, but it
1:16:47
was at his house and we were like, yo, we got to work on that
1:16:49
car and like get it running right.
1:16:50
And every he said, yeah, it runs.
1:16:51
I don't really drive that much and was always just like this
1:16:53
legendary thing. So.
1:16:56
Yeah, you rarely see them now. Yeah.
1:16:58
But I saw every time going to club I see two of these.
1:17:01
And to be honest, the car kind of sucks when you're when you're
1:17:03
really breaking it. Down.
1:17:04
Are you able to set them up well for drifting or is it like it?
1:17:06
Seems like no one really wants to.
1:17:07
I mean the front suspension I think is double wishbone or it's
1:17:10
like an R32 type thing, which kind of sucks.
1:17:13
But there's other cars that are like that, and they, they and
1:17:15
they. Find it would work, yeah.
1:17:17
But the real problem is they're really heavy for no reason like.
1:17:21
Every No, they've been made. What year were?
1:17:23
Those. This this car is like a 9093.
1:17:29
I mean 96 is what I think of but.
1:17:30
That one said 90. Three think they stopped at 98
1:17:32
in Japan maybe OK yeah oh 2000 in Japan that's sick so 89 to 96
1:17:38
so it's like an almost like an S13 or S13 S 14 and then in
1:17:42
Japan it goes to 2000 that's. Cool, it just seems like it
1:17:44
would ride better. Dude like like strong?
1:17:47
It will ride better because it weighs 9000 lbs less.
1:17:50
Thank you. It would be like that door
1:17:52
sound, although as unimportant as you think it is, but like if
1:17:54
you close the. Door.
1:17:56
There is you. It's heavy and it makes a better
1:17:58
sound than 13 where it's like. I would rather hear that three.
1:18:02
OK, here. Here's another argument that
1:18:04
could be brought up. My favorite door closing sound
1:18:06
is a GDSTI. It sounds like you're closing an
1:18:08
aluminum little door. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
1:18:11
And you can hear the rattle, too.
1:18:12
Yeah, I'm like, perfect. That means it's a lightweight.
1:18:15
Like that's where my head goes. My you cannot get lighter than
1:18:19
that door. I had 1A WRIAGT, you know.
1:18:22
What I'm talking about no. They're the lightest doors.
1:18:24
It's it's like you can no frame. But yeah, I'll tell you no frame
1:18:28
too. I'll tell you what my IS door is
1:18:29
lighter than that. No, it's not.
1:18:31
I promise you we'll weigh them, Yeah.
1:18:33
We're going to break out the scale.
1:18:34
Promise. You got scales here.
1:18:35
Yeah, we got. To do it, they they put it.
1:18:37
No, not those. Anything you need, they got it
1:18:40
here, I promise you. Hey, come get yourself vapor
1:18:42
honed. They vapor honed here now.
1:18:44
Yeah, we're going to insane. I got a motor coming out of a
1:18:47
car. We're going to bring some parts
1:18:48
over. I feel like Porsche people like
1:18:50
that shit. Because now you can.
1:18:52
Save it. You could.
1:18:53
Save. Without fucking like.
1:18:56
You know, you don't need to. Yeah, like, you know, like some
1:18:58
people got the dry ice right now on cars, too.
1:19:00
Yeah, I'm about to have that done on a car.
1:19:02
Just, I mean, that's cool. Yeah.
1:19:04
The dry ice. Thing Yeah.
1:19:05
So Malcolm brought up the the weight.
1:19:06
So it's 3300 lbs basically. That's heavy.
1:19:09
Not even that bad. So 3300 lbs is how much a GDSTI
1:19:13
weighs, and it's all-wheel drive, yeah.
1:19:15
OK. And it's.
1:19:16
Faster technically. So when I when I.
1:19:19
A full other front subframe like.
1:19:21
Division Axles. So when I think 3300 lbs.
1:19:24
I in my head, I, I always said it needs to be all-wheel drive
1:19:27
and if it's not, it's too heavy. Yeah.
1:19:29
That's like if it's over 3000. Pounds R 33 is not a wheel drive
1:19:32
right? Aren't they like like R33 GTR?
1:19:35
Let's look at yeah. Yeah, what's an R33?
1:19:37
Weight R33 GTR is going to be around that much is.
1:19:39
Everyone's biggest gripe but these are they're just too
1:19:41
heavy. Yeah.
1:19:42
See 34. Yeah, it's and you.
1:19:44
Feel it when you're you could feel.
1:19:45
Yeah, definitely. I haven't driven one, but I've
1:19:46
been in the passenger seat of a bunch of them.
1:19:48
You just can. You can feel the weight.
1:19:50
Some of them though feel real solid and you can like kind of
1:19:52
get around it but. Right off the rib, I'm taking
1:19:55
out them seats. Those electronic seats on the
1:19:57
90s weigh a good. Dream or so cool.
1:20:00
You could probably save like me their bounds.
1:20:02
They're my favorite. Now, now, now, it's almost like
1:20:04
nothing's going to surpass it or 34 for me, but it's.
1:20:06
For me, it close, it passed it for me, yeah, that's.
1:20:09
Crazy. Only because I'm, I'm really
1:20:11
starting to like a little bit more oddball stuff.
1:20:12
Yeah, yeah, me. I look at like.
1:20:14
Do you like this more? You're saying?
1:20:15
Yeah, I was. I would put this over to 34
1:20:17
yeah. And honestly, like I've tried to
1:20:18
look at a couple to buy them like I've gotten like, you know,
1:20:20
like in my mind, I've gotten close.
1:20:22
I will get into one at some point.
1:20:23
You're. A fucking wild card bro.
1:20:25
Like you could. You could buy a GTR tomorrow and
1:20:27
I honestly wouldn't be shocked. No, I mean like sometimes.
1:20:30
Like sometimes my taste will change.
1:20:31
Conversations sparked. Yeah.
1:20:33
Like, I mean like, you know, I'm getting rid of my daily driver
1:20:35
truck out of nowhere for, you know, an old G wagon because I
1:20:38
got obsessed out of. Nowhere.
1:20:39
Yes. Whoa.
1:20:41
Weeks ago? No way.
1:20:42
I went down a rabbit hole once and learned a lot about these.
1:20:45
No, there, there's a lot. Of what year?
1:20:47
I had a 99. I already bought it, yeah.
1:20:49
Oh, you already have it? Yeah, it's not here yet.
1:20:50
It's what's the? Oh oh.
1:20:52
That's why I ended up like, I don't know, just to keep with my
1:20:55
like kind of funky approach at everything.
1:20:57
I I was like when I looked, I was like, yeah, I could get AG
1:21:00
Wagon and they started here in 2002 in the States and I could
1:21:03
get one. I was like, but all the colors
1:21:04
kind of suck. I was like, what color is yours?
1:21:07
So mine technically the color is called Almadeen black but it's
1:21:10
really purple. Malcolm, you're on fucking
1:21:13
point. Yeah, that's all I'm going to.
1:21:14
Say yo actually click. This one I was bidding on this
1:21:17
fucking one and the seller was so mean.
1:21:21
Seller was so mean. Yo, it's got some wild family
1:21:25
Crest on the front. So this was all right.
1:21:27
So this one was not a technically not built by
1:21:29
Mercedes and milk by built by pooch.
1:21:32
So pooch is like the military division of Mercedes?
1:21:34
Fire, fire. You're you're in there.
1:21:36
That's. Sick.
1:21:36
So they built very few G500 pooches.
1:21:39
This was one that I found and I was just like, I don't know, I
1:21:43
was. How much are we talking?
1:21:45
So honestly this thing, I was like unsure where the hell this
1:21:47
thing was going to go. Maybe not this.
1:21:49
One, yeah, no, no, this one, I mean, I figured, look, I've
1:21:51
been, I've been hunting a lot and I was while I was trying to
1:21:54
buy this car, I was, I found a, a 99.
1:21:57
It's technically AG55 AMG, but it started life as just a normal
1:22:00
G500. But Mercedes owned it as a press
1:22:02
car for three years and they put a, they put the AMG package on
1:22:05
it before the AMG even existed. And they use the classic GS like
1:22:10
the 20th anniversary, which is the purple.
1:22:12
And they came with like a 2 tone interior black and purple.
1:22:15
But this car, I was already working a deal on the one I
1:22:17
ended up buying. And then I found this pooch and
1:22:19
I was like, fuck, this thing's sick.
1:22:22
So what's the deal with these things?
1:22:23
Like is this thing like bulletproof because.
1:22:25
It's so no, this one's not bulletproof.
1:22:26
They pooch did make bulletproof trucks.
1:22:27
This one was just they honestly pooch.
1:22:30
What? So like I dived into like
1:22:32
research on this one because. Mopeds pooch.
1:22:35
Military, just full on military out there.
1:22:37
They're in Austria, so it wasn't even built in Germany.
1:22:40
This is the H. And Ki know, but the brand I'm
1:22:43
trying to think of like, you know how like Mitsubishi makes
1:22:45
TV's and fucking. Yeah, gosh, I got AI, Got AVCR
1:22:48
by Mitsubr. I'm trying.
1:22:49
To think of like pooch, I'm like, did pooch?
1:22:53
If it's military, did they make like the mopeds too?
1:22:55
Because that's a big factor. Maybe.
1:22:57
Maybe like that almost pooch moment.
1:23:00
I don't. Know this car though, when I
1:23:01
like was diving into it, I don't I've never seen a pooch from 99
1:23:05
that is this car. So like it was a weird 1.
1:23:09
So I tried to buy it, but it was on some like weird website and
1:23:13
the deal ended up like the seller was just not caving on
1:23:15
his price at all. It didn't hit reserve.
1:23:16
I was a high bid, tried to work a deal, but like the auction
1:23:20
house wouldn't let me talk direct to the seller.
1:23:22
And they were, I was going through them and I was like,
1:23:23
this deal's never going to happen.
1:23:26
If I have to tell you to talk to the seller for me, like if you
1:23:28
put me on the phone with the seller, I don't care if I have
1:23:30
to pay you a fee, whatever. I want the truck and I have a
1:23:32
way to get it. And they were just like, we
1:23:35
can't really help you. Like their price is their price.
1:23:37
And I was like, their price might be their price.
1:23:38
But like, you know, if I have a conversation, maybe I'll be more
1:23:41
open to paying more because a lot of times if you don't talk
1:23:43
to the sellers, a lot of these cars, I mean, I learned on my
1:23:45
first car that I bought, like the first car imported in,
1:23:48
seller told me it was like a rebuilt engine, All this nice
1:23:50
shit, like car comes off the boat.
1:23:53
And I was like, no, it's not. What happened?
1:23:56
I mean, I ended up selling it, I got out of it and like it all
1:23:59
worked out in the end. And like the guy that ended up
1:24:01
buying the car, like, you know, he did what needed to do to get
1:24:03
it back on the road, even though it was really, it drove fine.
1:24:05
It just needed a bit of love. I don't think the engine was
1:24:07
ever rebuilt. So like at a point it had some
1:24:09
oil leaks that like as soon as I was driving it started to notice
1:24:11
some stuff. And for me, I learned real
1:24:13
quick, like early on that like that was a huge learning
1:24:15
experience. I want to avoid the cars that
1:24:17
need work. So I figured out the best way to
1:24:19
go research a car before you even buy it.
1:24:21
And that's kind of like my process now.
1:24:23
So I have a certain way in motion about how I do my you
1:24:25
know, like how I check my cars and then I just buy them sight
1:24:28
unseen, send the money, move on. I'd want to know the owner.
1:24:31
I'm going to psychoanalyze though.
1:24:34
No, you have to. No, you have to.
1:24:36
That was because then I'm going to be like, is this somebody who
1:24:38
changes their oil every 5000 or are they like me?
1:24:41
And if I get along with them, then I'm like, oh, I don't want
1:24:43
I'm I'm. Good.
1:24:44
Yeah. I mean, because in the Porsche
1:24:45
world, like there's a lot of like fraudulent shit out there,
1:24:47
like just people like. That that is an example right
1:24:49
there. Are you built engine?
1:24:50
Yeah, like, like, like, all right.
1:24:51
So like in Europe, all these cars come with like, a like a
1:24:53
service booklet and it comes with like the vintage Porsche
1:24:55
stamps from back in the day. So when the dealer would finish
1:24:57
the work, they put in the miles, put in all this, and then they
1:24:59
would stamp it. And what ended up happening is
1:25:02
like out there, people learn to make stamps.
1:25:07
So at the end of the day, if someone thinks they're buying a
1:25:09
car with 50,000, you know, miles on it or even lower miles.
1:25:12
And at the same point, it's a different book that they had
1:25:15
reprinted that they re put different booklet stamps in.
1:25:17
They changed the odometer in the car and nobody knows what they
1:25:20
bought. So, you know, out there, booklet
1:25:24
stamps are kind of meaningless to, at least to me.
1:25:26
Some collectors are like, oh, like we want to see the booklet
1:25:28
stamps. Like most booklet stamps are
1:25:29
fake. And when you tell them that,
1:25:30
they're like, there's no way they think you're crazy.
1:25:32
But at the end of the day, these cars have gone up so much in
1:25:34
value that there's people that are trying to make any way
1:25:37
possible to get hoops because if you have a lower mileage car,
1:25:39
unfortunately in the way the world works today, it's worth
1:25:41
more money. You just don't want to be better
1:25:43
than the other guy. I feel like that's it.
1:25:45
You want to have the best out of the out of the.
1:25:48
I try to always say to people, I'm like, I want to go find the
1:25:50
car that, you know, looks a little beat up at the show.
1:25:52
That like when you go look at the odometer, you're like, OK,
1:25:54
this guy's fucking driven this thing.
1:25:56
I like those. Yeah, sometimes you can.
1:25:58
Get lucky and it's not destroyed.
1:26:00
Yeah, it's not destroyed like my, you know, one of my one of
1:26:02
my cars that I drive, you know, a lot.
1:26:04
I mean, the engines finally coming out after three years of
1:26:06
not needing it to really come out, but now it's leaking too
1:26:09
much oil where I'm like, she's got to come out.
1:26:11
My it's. Got 150,000 miles on it.
1:26:14
It's been driven like 15,000 miles a year since I bought it.
1:26:17
What's which car is that? That's my 993 targa. 993 I want
1:26:21
to own My brother has a Did I tell you this?
1:26:26
No Who? Your brother.
1:26:27
Yeah, well, he has a cave. He bought a Cayman, my brother
1:26:30
bought a Cayman. He's a car salesman.
1:26:33
And one of these days my goal is also to own some sort of P car,
1:26:38
but I wouldn't want it to be that.
1:26:40
Wait, what's AP? Car.
1:26:41
Porsche car. Oh, OK, that's like a thing.
1:26:45
I don't know, my friends and I say it.
1:26:47
Oh. We're nerds.
1:26:49
Fuck you, Frankie. Well, you do say a lot of your
1:26:51
own thing, so I don't know if that was a normal thing or if
1:26:52
that was a you. Thing.
1:26:55
That one's me, but one of the because Porsche holds that brand
1:26:59
for me because I I again, as I mentioned earlier or has that
1:27:02
space for me because I mentioned earlier like I don't know, I
1:27:04
feel like it's usable. It's that usable lux deluxe
1:27:08
brand, like they rally it, they do this, they do that, they do
1:27:11
that and then it's like. Yeah.
1:27:13
It looks sick. They're fucking sick.
1:27:15
But then I don't know if I'll ever be able to own that.
1:27:19
But if I were to buy one for to just thrash around and RIP
1:27:23
around some track days, it'd probably be a high mileage
1:27:25
Boxster. See, this is where me and Carl
1:27:29
don't. So you lose me a little bit on
1:27:30
the boxer feel, yeah. But the high mileage theory?
1:27:33
Here's my highly mileage theory. Maybe not the boxer.
1:27:35
Maybe just any Porsche behind mileage, right?
1:27:38
If it was going to blow up. They would have.
1:27:41
So what I've learned is they really don't blow up.
1:27:44
Hell yeah. Now you're so lit.
1:27:46
A fucking try. I have tried.
1:27:49
Now we're putting the Boxster word.
1:27:50
Back No, like not really that I've tried, but like my 993 it's
1:27:54
needed basically an engine out service for the last three years
1:27:57
and I've driven a 15,000 miles a year.
1:27:59
I've taken on road trips, you know, 10 plus hours away and the
1:28:02
car will not die on me. I always said I was like, oh the
1:28:05
motor will pop. You know, why am I going to do
1:28:06
the maintenance now and pull the motor?
1:28:07
The motor is just going to pop in a year.
1:28:10
Would you be? Scared of like a like a like a
1:28:12
like a bearing or like like I don't.
1:28:14
I don't even really know what would.
1:28:15
Yeah, I mean, so like a lot of times they just end up getting
1:28:18
like too much cylinder loss. They drop compression and
1:28:19
they're done. They don't really like they
1:28:21
always still work. That's the crazy part.
1:28:23
Yeah, it would probably still be running at that point.
1:28:26
When you're like, yeah, like I just had a car inspected that
1:28:28
actually like came back like low compression, like, you know, a
1:28:31
high cylinder loss. But like the guy swears and
1:28:34
like, I'm going to fly out there maybe and find out he swears the
1:28:37
car drives as if it what didn't have those results.
1:28:40
And I'm like, but the results are the results.
1:28:42
He just built a motor a couple years ago and this is not a not
1:28:45
a result you want to see. And he's like, no, it drives
1:28:47
great. He's like fly out here and see.
1:28:49
And I'm like a lot of times I'm like, no, but I probably believe
1:28:52
the guy. Honestly.
1:28:53
It's just like, you know, and it's, it's a wild thing, but his
1:28:56
compression was really low. Like how low is low like?
1:28:59
I've never seen it this low. It's like.
1:29:02
Maybe the test was. I think they did the test
1:29:03
improper because they were doing it at the guy's house and like,
1:29:06
I don't think they had like a proper compressor.
1:29:07
So I was going to say. Like it just seemed in like in
1:29:10
the videos he'd send me, like I'd hear like a leak of air and
1:29:12
I'm like, I don't know if this is sealed properly.
1:29:14
So I told him I sent a message today.
1:29:15
I was like, you know, car's cool.
1:29:18
But I'm looking at two ways here.
1:29:19
Either you did the test wrong, which I hope you did, or the
1:29:22
motor needs to come back out of this car and it's going to cost
1:29:24
like 40 grand to get this thing back to speed.
1:29:26
So that's a problem. It's like a big, you know, the
1:29:29
motor health like on these it matters because if you do go
1:29:32
inside to do an engine build, you're in real steep.
1:29:34
But the results it's worth it. I mean you have a motor that
1:29:36
will last for a long, long time. Specialty shops for 9 elevens
1:29:40
just charge an hour. Do you know do you have a?
1:29:42
Lot of yeah so I mean you know probably if you're doing like an
1:29:45
engine build you're probably paying like well over 200 an
1:29:47
hour my. Dad had a. 2 like you know, but
1:29:50
probably normal mechanical work, I would say like around like 200
1:29:53
is typically like probably the norm on it.
1:29:55
It depends. And there's not a lot of people.
1:29:57
No, there's A at this point. I think there's a lot of.
1:29:59
There's more than. There more now.
1:30:01
But I think at the end of the day, it's like you got to find
1:30:03
like the the gap between like really good quality work.
1:30:05
I always say to people like it doesn't cars are cars.
1:30:09
If you have an enthusiast person, you know, that's like
1:30:12
that enjoys learning, doesn't matter who works on the car,
1:30:16
they'll figure it out. So you don't always need to go
1:30:18
to the Porsche shop. You're going to, you know, to
1:30:19
spend, you know, the big bucks. If you're doing an engine build
1:30:22
shore like don't cheap out on, you know, who's doing your head
1:30:24
work or don't cheap out on like that, you know, But in terms of
1:30:27
like, you know, if your car's got an oil leak, like you don't
1:30:29
need to go to the Porsche shop, have your car sit there for a
1:30:31
couple months. You could go the simpler
1:30:33
approach of, you know, if you've got a friend that is
1:30:35
mechanically savvy that wants to get into it, let him get into
1:30:38
it. Because at the end of the day, a
1:30:39
car's a car. And then the nice thing is too,
1:30:42
like if the motors got to come out and you're that person's
1:30:43
really going to learn real quick, but they'll get the motor
1:30:45
out really like they'll get it out quick.
1:30:47
And then they'll be able to do it again.
1:30:48
Yeah, and honestly, if they fuck up the first time, you know,
1:30:51
it's like there's a lot of these motors love to leak oil.
1:30:52
Like even after you fix everything they'll still leak
1:30:55
after. Yeah, it's.
1:30:56
Like a one, you know, kind of kind of problem with them.
1:30:58
But you know, overall that's why I always say to people, I'm
1:31:01
like, you're never really going to find your perfect 9/11 if
1:31:02
you're looking old because like one day the car could drive
1:31:04
fine. The car will still drive fine,
1:31:06
but you may have an oil leak. You may come out to a couple
1:31:08
drips. Like don't panic about little
1:31:10
shit. But at the same point, a lot of
1:31:12
people that are buying these cars.
1:31:13
There's been a lot of money. They worry.
1:31:14
About little shit. But at the end of the day, I
1:31:16
always say to people like you're buying something 30 years old.
1:31:19
What do you, what do you, what would you expect?
1:31:21
Like look, you know? There's a reason they made a new
1:31:23
version of this car. Yeah, or even like I always say
1:31:26
to people in like, you know, just like look at like your like
1:31:27
your normal life, like think if you just had something set out
1:31:29
for 30 years, even if you kept it inside, what would happen to
1:31:32
it? That and like it like as you're
1:31:34
saying, like everything you're describing to me, an oil leak.
1:31:37
OK, So like I'm gonna have a quart of oil in the car in the
1:31:39
boot. Yeah, in the boot.
1:31:40
Like or like the little, I mean literally the spirit of that
1:31:45
that car was from, again, like a lot of people, a radio, windows
1:31:49
and oil for the back. So fuses you would carry, yeah,
1:31:53
like a little, maybe a screwdriver and like.
1:31:56
Engine hoist. Yeah.
1:31:58
And they have so much oil in it, though, you could leak out a lot
1:32:00
and still be over. Like, like, look, yeah, if you
1:32:02
put the dipstick in and like check like it's gonna be low on
1:32:05
the dipstick, but it's technically not low for the
1:32:06
motor. Like, you're still good.
1:32:08
Not, not that that's the right, it's not the right thing to do.
1:32:10
But they were built in the aspect of drive the fuck out of
1:32:13
them and worry about it later. My dad dropped that engine with
1:32:15
like he would use the fucking skate.
1:32:17
My two skateboards in the garage he would just like.
1:32:21
He would pull that motor out and like work on it and.
1:32:24
Yeah, he for a little while he was doing it.
1:32:26
Then he got a little older. Your dad's a legend.
1:32:28
And then he. Seems like yeah, he seems like a
1:32:30
cool guy. Is a chill guy, Yeah.
1:32:32
He got like some one of the final things that he did because
1:32:36
he couldn't, like, work on it on his own anymore.
1:32:38
Was like a crazy amount of Labor at some shop in Denville.
1:32:45
Power stop. I think it's called power tech.
1:32:47
Power tech, Yeah. It's so funny.
1:32:48
Someone just sent me a a car trying to get me to buy it.
1:32:51
I went through the build sheet and I was like, went to power
1:32:54
tech. Yeah, but I keep like a, I'm a
1:32:55
weird guy. I keep like a database of cars.
1:32:58
So I could see that I knew the car from four years ago and not
1:33:01
a buy. Not a buy, not a buy.
1:33:03
I mean, they were, they were cool people in there.
1:33:04
I. Got a good mug?
1:33:05
They do. They do great.
1:33:05
They got like a mug. They they, when I saw the, I
1:33:09
don't know what, what their situation is over there or if
1:33:12
they're still flourishing, but there was like a lot of
1:33:14
Porsches. No, they're still there.
1:33:15
The guy kicked on my. Daddy's car.
1:33:16
And I was like. Holy shit.
1:33:18
Yeah, no, they're one of like the the older shops around
1:33:20
that's been working on the cars. For a while and like it's a
1:33:23
shop, like it's a functioning shop.
1:33:24
Like it doesn't it does not look like in there like it is.
1:33:28
It's it's like no, no, no, no, no.
1:33:29
I'm talking like this place is clean.
1:33:31
This place is like hospital clean sometimes.
1:33:34
And it shocks me, yeah, because of how much work goes through
1:33:36
here. But I'm talking like this place
1:33:38
like it's a bunch of Porsches and there's still like a lot of
1:33:42
it's like it's a shop. Yeah, you're saying it's like,
1:33:46
no, I don't. It's still the traditional
1:33:47
looking, yeah. Yeah, walking.
1:33:49
You'll see like old memorabilia. Around.
1:33:51
Like there's flutter that probably hasn't moved in.
1:33:53
Yeah, many years old, still there in the corner.
1:33:55
Well, they got a lot of work going on there too.
1:33:57
That's a. They do, but at the same point,
1:33:59
a lot of these shops and it's not to like building a Porsche
1:34:01
sometimes takes time, long time. So like a lot of these shops
1:34:04
could have a car for, you know, your.
1:34:06
Tooth and that's I mentioned the customers for Porsches are
1:34:08
probably like things are almost done and take it out.
1:34:11
I want to change this a little bit.
1:34:13
I want to say I want to do another one.
1:34:14
I'm trying to think of what my dad got done there.
1:34:16
Anyway, a lot of times people end up starting a build and then
1:34:18
they're like they they add a lot to it and then they don't
1:34:20
realize at the time that they're adding the.
1:34:23
Car sitting there it's. Going to take a while to do it
1:34:25
and like, you know, I know we were talking about a little bit
1:34:27
earlier about like, you know, build a car once.
1:34:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But a lot of people can't.
1:34:32
A lot of people don't know what they want when they get into.
1:34:34
It Yeah no, what I always tell people is like, you know, if you
1:34:37
are going to build a car start from scratch, figure out how you
1:34:40
want to build it even if that's a long term plan and then
1:34:43
honestly wait a little bit yeah, it's cool.
1:34:46
Some people want to tinker, so they want to do stuff in, like
1:34:48
in levels, which, you know, is is cool.
1:34:50
But if you really want to have something to enjoy, you want to
1:34:53
throw the kitchen sink at it one time.
1:34:55
You know, like, that's how I'm big, like, even back in the day
1:34:58
to like my old cars, Like I'd build them right the one time.
1:35:00
Maybe I'll change the wheels, do some small stuff.
1:35:02
But overall, the bones of the car will always be the bones of
1:35:04
the car. Yeah.
1:35:05
Like, you know, if I ran the same bumper, same front lip on
1:35:08
the car and I shattered it, I'm going to put the same part back
1:35:10
on the car. What's the hoops that you got to
1:35:14
cuz like as I mentioned earlier, a lot of people are doing what
1:35:17
you're doing just JDM. What are the hoops like for
1:35:22
Europe? Let's say you wanted to like
1:35:24
get, I don't know, you found a car over there at turn around
1:35:27
time, I guess too is what I'm curious about.
1:35:29
Like is it? Do you know the differences
1:35:32
between the two? Yeah, so I mean, because I've
1:35:35
learned the two differences because I've dabbled in Japan
1:35:38
trying to figure it out, because for me, it's like everything's
1:35:41
like a learning experience. So like, you know, I, I was
1:35:43
looking at old GS out there trying to find one, you know,
1:35:47
but then you're looking for the auctions.
1:35:48
You put your Max bid in and it's like you may hit, you may not.
1:35:51
You don't know until you wake up the next day or like the guy
1:35:53
shoots a text. You got it.
1:35:54
They're not sleeping for that. Dude.
1:35:56
I know you bro. You're literally probably like.
1:35:59
Now they're, yeah, I mean, no, you got to go to sleep because
1:36:02
at the end of the day, like the Max bitch shit, the way I look
1:36:04
at that is it's a complete gamble.
1:36:06
You don't know you're, you're putting the value on a car
1:36:08
before it even hits the block. So like, it's a, you know, it's
1:36:10
a hard thing. And if anyone thinks it's even
1:36:12
$500 more than they're going to get the car and there's no
1:36:14
bidding more back and forth, you have no time to think.
1:36:16
It's done in seven seconds, basically.
1:36:18
I'm not sleeping, dude. Oh my God, do you?
1:36:20
Really want the car, maybe my. Car.
1:36:22
There was one car. There was one car a couple
1:36:24
months back. It was a 964 that went up on the
1:36:26
auction block and I got the text like last minute in Japan, in
1:36:29
Japan. And I was like, oh, fuck, this
1:36:32
thing's sick. I was like, I put a Max bid in
1:36:34
that I thought was steep. I was like, I'm going to take a
1:36:36
gamble, buy this because I just want to add it to, like, my
1:36:38
resume of special shit. If I don't sell it and make
1:36:41
money, totally fine. Let me just get it here.
1:36:43
I lost that shit by like 20 grand.
1:36:46
Yeah. It ended up though it was weird.
1:36:48
It said sold, but then the car ran across the block again a
1:36:51
month later. And typically, I don't know if
1:36:53
you've heard about the way the Japan shit works.
1:36:55
If the car goes across the block a second time, you never touch
1:36:57
it. That's the that's something I
1:37:00
learned from some people that. Why is that?
1:37:02
Because like there had to be a reason for the transaction not
1:37:04
to happen. And like either bad juju or bad
1:37:07
energy or maybe the car's a bad car.
1:37:09
It could just be like an aura around it or it could be a bad
1:37:11
car is. That only a Japan thing or is
1:37:13
that? I mean I would say it's a Japan
1:37:16
thing. It also happens on like sites
1:37:17
like Bring a Trailer in the States where like a car will
1:37:19
transact but someone doesn't buy it.
1:37:21
You know that that definitely happens a good bit too.
1:37:24
I had a question before I forget the cars in Europe, do they tend
1:37:28
to be better conditioned than cars here?
1:37:31
I say conditions. Rust.
1:37:33
Rust wise, probably worse. Yeah, probably worse because I
1:37:37
would. Just say the answer I was.
1:37:37
Expecting, no, yeah, I would just say the conditions wise
1:37:40
like if you know like I would say, but it's pretty similar
1:37:43
like cars here will have the same rust spots that will happen
1:37:46
out there. Just faster or more severe?
1:37:48
Yeah, Like, you know, out there, I would say like it's not like
1:37:52
uncommon to potentially find a car that probably had rust
1:37:54
repaired on twice in the same spot around the windshield.
1:37:57
It's a pretty common thing because the way the windshields
1:37:58
press in, it's a different style than like a lot of other cars.
1:38:01
So it tends to water can get into a crack and once it gets in
1:38:03
the crack you're pretty screwed. But the you know, so condition
1:38:07
wise it's, it's probably a little bit worse.
1:38:10
Do they like I know in Japan they have like ratings and
1:38:13
whatever. Yeah, So when I buy, I mean,
1:38:15
since I'm buying for the most part full private unless I find
1:38:17
something at 2:00 in the morning on some random site.
1:38:19
So for me like I don't know the grades.
1:38:20
So like everything is really. You got to talk to that.
1:38:22
It's. Complete Wild West, as I say.
1:38:24
Wow. I don't.
1:38:24
Know what the fuck? 'S going on.
1:38:25
And sometimes like I'll land. So like when I landed in Finland
1:38:28
to buy that wide body car. I'll be honest with you when the
1:38:31
guy had it listed for sale with edited photos.
1:38:34
Edited photos like he, just like like XX Pro and Valencia on
1:38:38
that. Just like, you know, just the
1:38:39
paint looked cleaner, the car looked better then you get out
1:38:42
there and like the car wasn't bad, but it you know, it just
1:38:44
had it's typical shit that A964 will have.
1:38:46
Imagine you're having your customer fly out from another
1:38:48
country and you don't even clean the car.
1:38:49
Yeah, no, I mean, he cleaned it, but I, you know, I picked it up
1:38:51
and had like a cracked windshield when I picked it up.
1:38:53
He didn't tell me about it. I get there.
1:38:54
I'm like, dude, like this windshield's 2 grand.
1:38:56
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, what are you going
1:38:59
to do about that? That's.
1:39:00
Crazy. And he's like do about it.
1:39:02
Like what do you mean? Like we agreed on a press ago,
1:39:04
we definitely agreed on a price 100% and deep down, like I'm
1:39:09
already out there. Yeah, like what are you gonna?
1:39:11
Do that completely fucked like yes, but the only thing that's
1:39:14
how it is in the moment. Something like like buying a car
1:39:18
in Germany's tough. The Germans like to kind of like
1:39:20
tread lightly. They like get you on the hook
1:39:22
because they think you love it and then they'll leave out some
1:39:24
details. Great, So you kind of got to
1:39:26
like dice through it. Like my G wagon had a little
1:39:27
surprise. There's nothing too major so
1:39:29
far. But you know, I messaged a guy
1:39:31
today. I was like, I was like, you
1:39:32
know, it was like, dude, why won't you just tell me the tie
1:39:34
rod fucking bushings were shot. It's not expensive, I don't
1:39:36
care, but just let me know. It's like, oh, you know, that's
1:39:38
just normal GI and shit. I was like, yeah, but just let
1:39:40
me know, you know. So like they'll have that random
1:39:43
shit go on like this. So this guy, you know how to
1:39:46
crack windshield. Not really a major thing at the
1:39:48
end of the day. It's easy to fix.
1:39:50
Like you can get another one still if you can get factory
1:39:52
glass if that's the way you want to go.
1:39:54
But at the end of the day, so a lot of times they become nice
1:39:57
guys. So like in the moment out there,
1:39:59
if you bring it up, you know, obviously I'm going to buy the
1:40:01
car either either way, but. And if I say it to them and you
1:40:05
know, because basically we built a relationship before I fly out,
1:40:07
we're talking a lot, You know, a lot of times they're either
1:40:10
picking me up from the airport like it's a little bit more of a
1:40:12
different experience. So by the time it's come time
1:40:13
for the money aspect, we're already friends.
1:40:16
Yeah, so one goat for you. Yeah, and if we're and if and if
1:40:18
we're not friends at that point, it's almost like you really try
1:40:20
to walk away because something might be, you know, a little
1:40:23
shady about it. Yeah.
1:40:24
Yeah. Because like they they they
1:40:26
should be. No, I mean not should be I the
1:40:27
way I am when I sell a car on forthcoming about everything.
1:40:30
I have no reason. Like my reputation's on the
1:40:31
line. So like, I'm not.
1:40:33
Going to fuck with it, especially them.
1:40:34
It might be a little different because it's like their personal
1:40:36
car. Yeah, yeah.
1:40:37
So this guy, you know, he was like about the windshield.
1:40:38
He like kind of stuttered. I was like, I go to my go, what
1:40:41
are you going to do? You know, like, what would you
1:40:42
do for me with the situation? I was like the windshield's 2G's
1:40:45
for sure. And he's like, well, you know, I
1:40:47
could get it out here. He's like, cuz we have
1:40:48
windshield insurance out here. I'm like, why don't you do it?
1:40:50
Before I got here I was like, cuz tomorrow I was like in two
1:40:53
days I'm leaving with the car from this random, you know, city
1:40:55
in Finland. I was like, I'm leaving, leaving
1:40:57
from here and we're going on a massive road trip with no plan,
1:41:00
with no tools, with nothing. So like, what else are you
1:41:03
hiding? If he didn't want to, if he you
1:41:05
know, he was very forthcoming on it.
1:41:07
He said, look, man, like, you know, when you get there, you
1:41:09
know, he's like take the price off, get home, you know, get
1:41:11
yourself windshield. I was like, you know, that's
1:41:12
cool. I mean, you know, to me meant
1:41:14
that like he's a stand up guy. The car is definitely a good car
1:41:17
to go to the road trip and it made it it survived the road
1:41:19
trip without a single problem. Hasn't had a hiccup since the
1:41:21
car's been here. It's actually like my favorite
1:41:22
car to drive probably that I have right now.
1:41:25
But you know, it was bought, everything was all good till you
1:41:28
get out there. You look at the car and you're
1:41:29
like, fuck. Yeah, it's a gamble.
1:41:30
You know, yeah. Did you?
1:41:32
It's cool though. Did you have did you help Mike
1:41:34
at all get his? Cozil, yeah.
1:41:36
So and I saw he got a car as well.
1:41:38
He has a 960. Four as well.
1:41:40
No, he. Had a 9/9.
1:41:41
No, so he had a 993 for a while. He had a black 993.
1:41:43
Yeah. He just sold it recently and
1:41:45
picked up AG body. They made a special in I think
1:41:48
his is an 80. They made a special special year
1:41:50
of variant, basically the same car, but they made a special
1:41:53
color. It's it's like the Wysock
1:41:54
package. So it's like kind of like a gold
1:41:56
color car with gold color match face wheels.
1:41:58
So even cooler than yeah. Yeah, funky cool car, but his
1:42:01
993, I did help him by that. I found that car on on the
1:42:04
rental. Car I knew I.
1:42:05
Fucking knew it. I fucking knew it.
1:42:07
I was like, yeah, who do I? I think Mike had a Porsche.
1:42:10
I wonder if he. Yep.
1:42:12
Yeah, we found that. We found that car stateside.
1:42:14
I found it on Renlist. It was just like locally posted,
1:42:16
but I found the ad within 30 seconds of it going up.
1:42:19
I was the first guy to hit him up and I said car's not for me.
1:42:21
My friend's buying the car 100%. He's like, how do I know?
1:42:24
And I was like, he will call you in like 10 minutes.
1:42:26
I called him and then picked up the car a couple days later, did
1:42:28
a, you know, did a road trip across.
1:42:29
So you still do look at US cars. For the end of the day I won't
1:42:34
buy AUS car for myself. Why?
1:42:37
So I'm big on color, I'm big on different variations.
1:42:40
So for me, color's huge colors in the states are generally
1:42:44
like, not special. You're looking for unique.
1:42:46
Stuff, yeah. So for me, like I have to look
1:42:49
in Europe to go find the unique stuff.
1:42:51
Like the car, like the weird patterned interior?
1:42:54
Yeah, would be in Europe. Yeah, you're not going to really
1:42:56
find them. Here.
1:42:56
I mean that's just like how JDM shit is.
1:42:58
Like no one bought a AWE tech S14 here, not only because it
1:43:02
wasn't available, but probably because no one would have.
1:43:04
Bought. I mean, I don't know enough
1:43:06
about like expensive JDM cars, but like GTR people that import
1:43:09
them, I'm sure there's like a million different fucking
1:43:11
options, yeah. Yeah, let's take it down.
1:43:13
It's like old, like I've seen like the nurse and all the
1:43:15
different. Yeah, I'm going to be honest
1:43:17
with you. I don't know.
1:43:18
Anything I lose my mind but one day if I'm ever attracted enough
1:43:20
to go look into them, like just like how I did G wagons, I
1:43:23
figured out G wagons in a matter of five days and found like 5
1:43:27
off market that were sick. Fucking GS where they may be a
1:43:29
little bit pricey maybe, but they were fucking sick.
1:43:31
And I was just like, I need to have one.
1:43:34
One of my friends is telling me I'm an idiot for buying it.
1:43:36
But I was like, dude, it's purple.
1:43:37
It matches like my I have a 964 that's a track car that was
1:43:40
built for the Nurburgring. That's like my personal it was
1:43:42
built in Sweden. Built for the Nurburgring.
1:43:45
Yeah, like built is like a kind of like a touring car that he
1:43:47
could drive. He never trailered it.
1:43:48
He would drive it from Sweden is.
1:43:50
This the one we were talking about earlier.
1:43:51
No, so this is a, it's a car I have in Florida right now.
1:43:53
It's like a it hasn't really actually only spent like 2 weeks
1:43:57
in New Jersey before it left New Jersey, but it's actually been
1:43:59
in a bunch of countries. No, no, I sold that one.
1:44:01
Scroll more. I haven't posted it in a bit.
1:44:04
So this is in Prague. This is in the middle of Prague.
1:44:06
On a road trip when? We bought the car.
1:44:08
This this shit is in. Prague.
1:44:09
Yeah, in the Center City, just pulled up, took some photos.
1:44:13
I mean, like, is it that unheard of that it's in Prague?
1:44:16
Like, I guess it's not that weird because you bought the
1:44:18
car. We got friends that do this shit
1:44:20
like just at a different country.
1:44:22
This. Was this Prague wasn't a part
1:44:24
of? Foreign to me, I guess.
1:44:25
I'm just like, Oh my God. Yeah, Prague wasn't a part of
1:44:27
the initial plan, but it ended up Prague's a beautiful city,
1:44:30
and we weren't too far away. And we were like, it's raining a
1:44:32
lot in Germany, so let's go a little bit away and, you know,
1:44:35
try to get some decent weather while we were out there.
1:44:37
But this car was built for the Nurburgring.
1:44:39
You know, it's a setup track car, but it's also streetable.
1:44:42
My dad had. Drops at those wheels.
1:44:44
So that's in California because when I bought the car and
1:44:46
brought it stateside, I was there was a really special event
1:44:49
happening in Northern California.
1:44:51
And I said to myself, I was like, I want to get out there.
1:44:53
And my dad was cool. And he was like, I want to come
1:44:55
out and see what this shit's all about.
1:44:56
So we had like a weekend at the track for three days and like,
1:44:59
oh, I, I ended up, I didn't drive.
1:45:01
Out there looks like how good that looks like How?
1:45:02
Good. Yeah.
1:45:04
So how do you like driving out in Europe?
1:45:06
Driving in Europe's fun, Germany is like the Wild West because
1:45:09
you've literally, I mean people always said like before I went
1:45:12
out there, they like talk about the Autobahn and they're like,
1:45:14
oh like you know, there's like 1 Autobahn.
1:45:15
No, there's like hundreds of autobahns.
1:45:16
Every highway has different sections on the highway where
1:45:19
you can just do whatever you want.
1:45:20
When you get to the centre of Germany, it could be no speed
1:45:23
limit for 30 miles. OK.
1:45:26
So you know, these cars are fun 'cause when you're out there,
1:45:29
like they're pretty stable at 160 hundred and 70 miles an
1:45:31
hour, you wouldn't expect it, but they're stable and you could
1:45:34
just RIP. That's crazy.
1:45:36
Dude, I've gotten pretty fast in that little.
1:45:39
Sorry, are they like, sorry, these, these German cars,
1:45:41
they're like geared different. Depending upon the country they
1:45:43
came from, yes. So like the best gearboxes if
1:45:46
you're looking like not at. So like like we'll focus on 9/6
1:45:49
fours 'cause it's mainly what I focus on and buy 96 fours.
1:45:53
If you bought, if you bought a Swiss car, so original delivery
1:45:56
for Switzerland best gearbox they made as far as like normal
1:46:00
Carrera twos. If you bought a 964RS, it had
1:46:03
the shortest ratios possible. So that's the best gearbox you
1:46:06
can do, but the best gearbox on a more affordable car, a more
1:46:08
usable car, it's. 50 or. Something it's.
1:46:12
Like 5 variations that. You've got.
1:46:13
That's what I was about to ask. It's actually, yeah.
1:46:16
So yeah, so many, yeah, but the Swiss one is the fucking one.
1:46:20
Why they got special cheese? Gears like real short gears
1:46:23
cause made for like just the Swiss Alps and shit so they just
1:46:26
had. Power and see, I was thinking
1:46:27
it'd be like a long final drive or some shit.
1:46:29
No, no, no. Porsche gears are long.
1:46:32
Though US spec Porsche gears are.
1:46:33
Long. Just for the Autobahn, I'm
1:46:35
thinking like it's. So 5th, I mean 5th gear in these
1:46:37
like I mean that like that velvet red wide body car.
1:46:40
We got it up to like 176 miles an hour and 5th gear.
1:46:44
It's fine. Crazy fire.
1:46:45
You know, but there was one car that I had out there that we got
1:46:48
into like like one 80s, like one 85186 and that was a took a long
1:46:52
time, but it had a 6 speed from A993 in it so we could boogie
1:46:55
and it had a built motor so we could really go and it was and
1:46:59
it's fun. You know, it's fun going out
1:47:01
there with a friend too. That's like, you know, like,
1:47:02
yes, I've experienced it, you know, and it's fun every single
1:47:04
time. But it's fun when you go out
1:47:05
with somebody and they're like, you look at them, they're behind
1:47:07
the wheel and you look and you're like, Oh, you're you got
1:47:09
no speed zone. And that's like the first time
1:47:11
they look at you and they're just like, what do you mean no
1:47:12
speed zone? I'm like go flat out right now.
1:47:14
They're like flat out right now. Like to what?
1:47:16
I go to whatever the fuck you want.
1:47:18
I'm just alone for the ride, like whatever, you know, But
1:47:21
people out there, they everyone gets out of your way driving out
1:47:24
there, Yeah. No, it's it's actually.
1:47:26
Yeah, like you could like if, I mean, you could be coming up.
1:47:29
No, like everyone moves out of your way out there.
1:47:31
So there's no stress or worry really of like, you know, if you
1:47:33
want to go 150 in the fast lane for, you know, 30 minutes
1:47:36
straight, as long as you know, you could do it, people will
1:47:39
typically always see you coming up and always get out of your
1:47:41
way. So the left lanes typically
1:47:43
always open. If you're in the middle of
1:47:44
Germany, go really fast for really far.
1:47:47
That's cool man. So do people ever have you hunt
1:47:52
for a specific car? Yeah.
1:47:53
So the hunting like it depends on the circumstances.
1:47:56
I'm trying to grow this out of my business more now.
1:47:59
Yeah, I feel like that would be your like goal if I, if I take a
1:48:02
guess. What a lot of people Nah, not
1:48:04
really. I like touching everything I
1:48:05
like actually physically being the one to bring it.
1:48:08
But at the same point you're. Responsible for.
1:48:10
That yeah, I like being the responsible one because I've.
1:48:12
I've had so much time around these all that I'm so like
1:48:15
comfortable with them that for me it's like it's almost better
1:48:18
to like for me to go pick and choose the proper ones to bring
1:48:21
in to then sell because then I like, I know it's a good car
1:48:24
Versus sometimes if you just go for normal consignment stuff
1:48:27
like you don't always know, you don't always know.
1:48:29
Especially like people that want to buy some cars in the US, like
1:48:31
you don't always know. Some owners will say like the
1:48:33
car doesn't have this issue, but it does.
1:48:34
Have this issue so you'd rather. I'd rather buy it and sort it
1:48:37
out myself and then deal with it later.
1:48:39
Yeah, generally, but there is, you know, but but I would grow
1:48:42
the consignment game. I you know, I've helped like,
1:48:44
you know, you pulled up like I think when we sat down, like,
1:48:46
you know, Brendan Schultz, how he just picked up his 9970.
1:48:49
Yeah, yeah. I didn't help find the car.
1:48:50
I was more so like just like his soundboard where he was like I
1:48:53
found this car. What do I do, you know, and him
1:48:55
and I have been friends for a while.
1:48:56
So I helped him out with it, you know, definitely.
1:48:58
Like, you know, that's not the normal circumstance.
1:49:00
Normally I'll go hunt and find the thing full on.
1:49:02
But I helped him with transport. I helped him with what to look
1:49:04
for in the cars. Was that to?
1:49:05
Pass on. European car?
1:49:06
No, Sir, he bought AUS like 997, but I just know the car as well.
1:49:09
So for me it was like easy to just help, you know, spend 5
1:49:12
minutes on the phone with him a couple days, you know, just kind
1:49:14
of sorting through it. But normally for me, I tell
1:49:17
people I'm like your eye. I'm trying to go buy an air
1:49:19
cooled car. Not that your eye's wrong, but
1:49:21
you're if you think like a lot of people always say like, oh,
1:49:23
like I'm going to buy my dream car.
1:49:25
Whenever I hear that you're going to buy your dream car, I
1:49:27
tell people pump the brakes. They're like, what do you mean
1:49:29
pump the brakes with my dream car?
1:49:30
I go, it's your dream car. Yes, but your dream car doesn't
1:49:33
need to be here tomorrow in your dream car.
1:49:35
You should learn what a proper dream car is.
1:49:38
So like, yes, if you want a 964911 that's awesome or you
1:49:41
want an S13, that's awesome. But focus on like not just the
1:49:45
thought of like instant gratification where you find it
1:49:47
and buy it. Focus on buying the right one
1:49:51
and buying the right one either takes time or what I tell people
1:49:54
is like I can buy one without taking time.
1:49:56
So a lot of people that end up trying to buy one of these cars,
1:49:59
they'll lose the car because they're taking a couple days to
1:50:02
make the decision or a couple weeks or for me, I just find it
1:50:06
and my first thing is I'm just buying it.
1:50:08
I can ask 5 questions and buy the car and move on.
1:50:11
Most people can't do that. And also I have they're very.
1:50:14
Emotional too. Yeah, yeah.
1:50:15
And I have no emotional. I mean, I do have emotional.
1:50:17
I was about to say there's. No, no, no, no, no, no.
1:50:20
I want to get something. Cool, I want to get something.
1:50:22
Cool, I want to get there's emotional attachment but I've
1:50:23
but like when you find it. When you it's different from
1:50:27
when you find your dream car, you know.
1:50:29
What I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like for, for that, you know,
1:50:31
like a lot of people will over, you know, the, the like they
1:50:35
won't think about some of the problems.
1:50:36
They'll say, Nah, man, we can sort it out.
1:50:38
And like most of the time you can as long as you are OK
1:50:41
spending the money. And like a lot of people, the
1:50:43
worst thing to do is you buy something and the car sitting on
1:50:46
the lift for the next three months.
1:50:47
But the name of your game is more like let's find a really
1:50:49
good starting. Point yeah, let's find the prop
1:50:52
like what are your needs? What are you looking for?
1:50:54
And let's find you something that actually fits the build.
1:50:57
And like that, you know, the goal is to not break the bank.
1:51:00
Although some of these cards you have to, you know, they're going
1:51:02
to be expensive to buy. But I always tell people too,
1:51:04
I'm like, if your budget is 100 grand for a car, you should look
1:51:08
a little bit higher than your budget.
1:51:09
At the end of the day, if you need to borrow money from
1:51:11
somewhere for a little bit, it's even safer.
1:51:14
Even if you're losing money on like paying interest for a
1:51:16
little bit on something, it's safer going that route than
1:51:18
spending less, unless you're technically mechanically savvy
1:51:21
and you could handle your own shit.
1:51:23
But a lot of people buying these cars, you know, it's no
1:51:25
different than me. Like I'm, I can mechanically
1:51:26
look at stuff and see what's wrong, but I can't really fix
1:51:29
these cars too much. I could do some, you know, if I
1:51:31
broke down on the side of the road, I can figure it out.
1:51:32
But you know, and I know what to look for it.
1:51:35
So if it's a major thing, I can point it out to someone
1:51:37
literally right away off like one photo of, you know, a couple
1:51:39
of things like stay away from this car for this reason.
1:51:41
They look at me, but it's but I need it.
1:51:43
I go. He's like, you see a little bit
1:51:44
of oil dripping from the right, I think.
1:51:48
I'm trying to remember what Porsche Jimmy has.
1:51:53
Probably 964. Who?
1:51:55
Jimmy. Oaks, Jimmy Oaks has a 964.
1:51:57
He also has a G body that he's building with.
1:51:59
I think he's putting some V8 in it.
1:52:01
Yeah, of course. He is.
1:52:02
I was gonna ask how much does like A964 not in like perfect
1:52:06
mint rare condition go for? All right.
1:52:09
So there's levels to. This I know.
1:52:11
I'm sure there's plenty of. Levels so right and ask.
1:52:13
Me questions, Ask me questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 40.
1:52:15
So are you talking like project car?
1:52:17
Rusty motor? Doesn't really.
1:52:18
I'm not talking Rusty. Or something that just turns on
1:52:20
and works. Turns on, works.
1:52:22
The guy drove it around, has tons of miles, but it works.
1:52:24
It runs. OK.
1:52:25
So like you're looking at like an all-wheel drive 964 at that
1:52:27
point and your price point realistically is like it varies,
1:52:32
but it's like on the low end like 70s to the high end, like
1:52:35
100 in that range, you can get a project, which is going to sound
1:52:39
crazy how much, how extensive a project is.
1:52:42
Is it really 70? I'm sorry, I'm baffled.
1:52:44
Right now, I mean, look, you could find sometimes you could
1:52:46
find them in Europe for like, you know, 60, but by the time
1:52:49
you import it here, you're in 70.
1:52:50
So it's like, you know, at the end of the day, it's not really.
1:52:53
Look at Carl. He's like. 13 grand bro in
1:52:56
Vermont for A-964-C2 when I was in high school and I was like
1:52:59
dad I need this really fucking bad 964C2 in high school OK I
1:53:05
need it how? What year was that?
1:53:06
It was like 2011, yeah. 2011, yeah.
1:53:08
So, OK, so that's back. 12 grand.
1:53:10
Yeah, that's back when they were nothing.
1:53:11
And I'll never forget like right out of right, you know, right in
1:53:14
high school, like the first car I had, like I was into BMWs and
1:53:17
I so I got a BMW and started modifying it a bit.
1:53:19
And I'll never forget like my landscaper that did the work on
1:53:22
our house and all the design work, the guy that owned the
1:53:24
business, he would always, he would always work.
1:53:26
He was, you know, he was a guy that would be, you know, like he
1:53:28
would be doing everything that all his, you know, that all his
1:53:30
employees did. He never wouldn't do that.
1:53:32
But he would always come over. He'd see me in the garage as my
1:53:34
young kid and he'd just be like, you're an idiot.
1:53:37
And I'm like, what do you mean I'm an idiot right now?
1:53:39
He's like, why? Why is that not a Porsche?
1:53:40
And I looked at him, I was like, what?
1:53:43
I was like, what do you mean? He goes, you're doing it all
1:53:46
wrong right now. It's like you just paid a lot of
1:53:48
money for this BMW when in reality you could have bought a
1:53:50
nine. He's like, at the time, he's
1:53:52
like, you could go spend 13 grand, 15 grand on 9 on A964 and
1:53:56
have the time of your life. And then I just remember like I
1:53:59
was just an idiot back. Then was he just a big fan?
1:54:01
He's huge. I mean he had this guy has some
1:54:03
of the the craziest like 9 elevens and he's but he's a low
1:54:06
key guy. You know, he was been in the
1:54:08
hobby forever, but he told me long ago he was like, he tried
1:54:11
to plant the seed early. I mean, he did plant the seed
1:54:13
because eventually I got there. But like, if I did it back then,
1:54:16
I would have been spending nothing.
1:54:17
I would have filled a garage filled, you know, and I'd be
1:54:19
like, you know, I'd be like all the Bitcoin winners right now
1:54:21
that are killing it in the world.
1:54:22
So, so you just said the one we were talking about before would
1:54:27
be like 70 to 90,000 right now. What would that have been?
1:54:31
Same condition? 2011 yeah, 12 grand what I just
1:54:35
told you. So my friend paid.
1:54:36
My friend paid 17 grand for AC4 back in like 2010.
1:54:42
That's how much the that black car that I showed with my dad's
1:54:45
car 17. Grand, at the time was
1:54:47
expensive. Yeah.
1:54:48
So this is like a little bit more than 10 years ago.
1:54:50
On eBay too, they were all over the place.
1:54:52
My dad got that one 'cause he bid on it late at night.
1:54:55
Yeah, so. Yeah.
1:54:56
And then just. Woke up and was like oh shit oh
1:54:58
fuck I don't want to get a bad I don't want to get a bad review
1:55:01
and ban from eBay. I like buying shit late at
1:55:02
night. I can't do I gotta buy this now?
1:55:04
When did the price jump significantly?
1:55:07
What year? COVID.
1:55:09
COVID they jumped even before COVID.
1:55:11
They were still, even before COVID, like they were still like
1:55:13
they were getting into the, you know, 50s for like what we were
1:55:16
talking about. So they weren't like too far
1:55:18
off. COVID kind of blew it up just a
1:55:19
bit in the sense of like. Do you think this is due to like
1:55:21
Magnus Walker and RWB and stuff like that?
1:55:24
So I would say, I would say no. You know, Magnus Walker's a
1:55:27
great guy. He does great stuff, you know,
1:55:30
but at the end of the day, he's been the one thing I like about
1:55:33
him is he's been a die hard Porsche guy before Porsche took
1:55:35
well. The only reason I bring that up
1:55:36
is because, like, I'm not a Porsche person.
1:55:39
But that's what you. That's who you.
1:55:40
Think Magnus Walker almost changed my life.
1:55:42
OK, Yeah. And I'm like, if I was a Porsche
1:55:44
person, like I would have bought all of them when when I saw that
1:55:48
video, that first video and RWB, same thing.
1:55:50
Like watching his stuff was just like memorizing.
1:55:55
I was like, this is awesome. And it's all about Porsche, you
1:55:59
know? So I feel like I don't know, to
1:56:01
me, I'm like that shit probably inflated the market like it.
1:56:04
Did it, did it, did it did affect the market?
1:56:06
Like anything is like, you know, but also like there's been a lot
1:56:10
of like terms of value points that like kind of, in my
1:56:13
opinion, kind of raise the value of like a stock 964 or something
1:56:16
that's like lightly modified is like you have like the brands
1:56:18
like Singer, some of the bigger brands that are doing like full
1:56:20
on builds of these cars and like they're sick builds, don't get
1:56:22
me wrong, but they're taking away all the soul out of these
1:56:24
cars the way they were initially intended.
1:56:26
We're making them like new cars, yeah, which is cool.
1:56:28
You know, you look in, you see some, you know, some baller
1:56:31
interior that looks sick with some really cool fabrics and
1:56:33
materials. But like it's I, you know, my,
1:56:36
my big thing is you never see anyone now look all great to
1:56:38
people that can spend the money on those and appreciate them.
1:56:40
And when I look when I see them out, I'll look at them 100%.
1:56:43
I'll dive in all the details, look at all the things.
1:56:45
But at the end of the day, for me, it's like you never see one
1:56:48
with miles on it. Yeah, see, one trip.
1:56:50
I mean, a few people out there will drive them, but.
1:56:52
No, I like when there's miles. On yeah, but they're but so
1:56:55
like, you know, they're messing with the values because some of
1:56:56
these companies just have, you know, yards filled with, you
1:56:59
know, 102 hundred, you know, and they're building a lot of them
1:57:02
each year. So that's affecting the values.
1:57:04
But also at the same point, like there wasn't a lot of 96 fours
1:57:07
that were made, at least if we're focusing on that body
1:57:08
style. It was a shitty time for
1:57:10
Porsche. Nobody wanted A964 for a long
1:57:12
time. They were literally when like
1:57:14
when your dad had his 96 fours, if you had if you had a 964,
1:57:17
they were like get the fuck out of here.
1:57:18
Yeah, that's shit. Is not.
1:57:19
Now they're like you, we. Need a cut boxer?
1:57:21
Yeah, No, no, not not that bad, not bad, but but.
1:57:26
I do know what you're talking about.
1:57:27
It wasn't like AG body, but it wasn't like a, it wasn't like a
1:57:31
993. So it was like, I don't know,
1:57:33
Yeah, like. 993 is always have we're always like held pretty
1:57:36
solid value now they're pretty strong too. 96 fours are
1:57:38
actually more the most expensive 9. 93 was always 9. 64 is the
1:57:41
best. 993 is the last air cooled.
1:57:43
Right. Yeah, last air cooled.
1:57:44
That's the one everyone loves, but I like the 964 I think it
1:57:47
looks. Better 96, Totally.
1:57:48
Alright. If I handed to the keys and you
1:57:50
drove 993 and then you drove 964, you would go 964 all the
1:57:53
way, but you'd feel that the 993 has that cruiser feel that you
1:57:57
can't. That's unmatched.
1:57:58
It's the most comfortable car just to sit in for long, for
1:58:01
long hauls. And it's just when you look at
1:58:02
it, to me, I look at it and I'm like, this is a cruiser.
1:58:04
And that's what I tell people like MY993 Target, like that's
1:58:07
my cruiser. Like if I'm gonna go on a long
1:58:08
road trip, I'm gonna take that. But if I'm trying to drive, I'm
1:58:10
taking my 9/6. 4964 the way it looks, just looks a little bit
1:58:14
more old school with the headlights.
1:58:16
It has the bowl. They're like, it has those, it
1:58:18
has those like hip things in the front that still go like this.
1:58:23
So to me, that's Porsche. It's still the same, Yeah.
1:58:25
And the fenders and the fenders are actually like pretty much
1:58:28
the same as AG body, Fender, front Fender.
1:58:32
So much info man. I'm trying to just think in my
1:58:36
head where I went wrong there 'cause I was like.
1:58:40
Can't believe. It's 12.
1:58:41
Grand. Oh, we all fucked.
1:58:43
Up man we it was like it was on Pelican parts it was white it
1:58:47
was in Vermont. I think it had tan interior.
1:58:50
Yeah, you know, manual and. You were like 13 grand.
1:58:53
That's 13. Grand, but it would be as a kid
1:58:56
that can't do that the transmission alone now for like
1:58:59
a for like a 5 speed G50 from like a 964 even in like shit
1:59:03
gearing like US gearing. Don't say it, don't say it.
1:59:06
What do you think? How much are you thinking?
1:59:07
I'm gonna, I'm, I'm just gonna guess 15 because it's.
1:59:10
Yeah, it's like it's like 10 to 13 and like, but who knows if
1:59:13
they're rebuilt or not. You're looking at those on eBay,
1:59:15
like who the fuck knows? And then you look into how
1:59:17
expensive the gear. I had a scare recently in my in
1:59:20
my in one of my 96 fours. Like my personal actually my
1:59:23
personal personal car. Did you money shift it or?
1:59:25
Something no. I was just cruising and I have
1:59:27
the car down in Florida right now and like there's really not
1:59:29
much fun you can have in Florida at all.
1:59:31
Driving No. I've heard.
1:59:33
It's fucking, it's just all, yeah, it's just, it's a it's.
1:59:36
But it's so big, so I'm. Like flat and boring.
1:59:40
It's just a grid pattern and there's no and there's no
1:59:42
elevation changes, so you're kind of just dealing with it.
1:59:44
But I shifted from. Second, boring.
1:59:47
It's the worst. We got some friends down there
1:59:49
shout out Risky Business, yeah. I shifted from 2nd to 3rd felt
1:59:52
like a pop in the rear was not sure what the fuck it was, but I
1:59:56
I mean my flyway was just chattering like a motherfucker
1:59:58
and I was like I had no power. I couldn't put anything down and
2:00:01
I was like, I just coasted and I remember like.
2:00:04
I called my buddy where I broke down.
2:00:05
He was like, you're in a terrible neighborhood.
2:00:06
And I remember saying to him, I'm like, I feel safer here than
2:00:08
being broken down on the side of 95.
2:00:10
Like whatever the fuck it is like we'll get sorted out.
2:00:13
And everything I researched was like, oh, like it's your, it's
2:00:15
your your opinion in your trans or it's something wrong with
2:00:18
your fork. But if I.
2:00:19
Was going to say those. Yeah, but they were like, if
2:00:21
it's your opinion, all your gears are gone.
2:00:25
And I was like, I was like, this is the worst thing in the world.
2:00:29
And he's like, well, what's the noise sound like?
2:00:31
I was like my flywheel. I have a really lightweight
2:00:32
flywheel on the course, which chatters a lot to begin with.
2:00:34
But I was like, all I hear is marbles and he and he was just
2:00:38
like, all right, he's like, you're not going to like this,
2:00:39
but go look up gearing when you get home.
2:00:41
He's like, the only positive is you can go Rs gearing.
2:00:43
You're going to have short ratio.
2:00:43
It's going to be sick. If that was worst case.
2:00:47
And I was like, I don't think it's that.
2:00:49
I was like, I was pretty sure it was an axle, which is weird on
2:00:52
those cars, if you break an axle and the inside, you almost won't
2:00:55
even tell that you broke an axle.
2:00:56
Like if you go like visually this.
2:00:58
So when it happening, it was an axle.
2:01:00
I got lucky as fuck. Hell yeah.
2:01:03
But the axle broke in the boot snapped.
2:01:05
Yeah, yeah, but didn't break the boot.
2:01:06
Yeah, yeah. So it was just spinning.
2:01:08
There it was a low speed. It happened.
2:01:09
He loves breaking nose. Yeah, so when it happened, I
2:01:12
mean, look, I was happy the part.
2:01:14
Luckily I changed that axle like six months prior and it was
2:01:16
warrantied. Yeah, so I got a free axle.
2:01:19
Yeah, yeah. There you go.
2:01:20
Yeah, What Car was? This that was in my my purple
2:01:23
964 track car that was like, yeah, it was in my one.
2:01:25
That's my, that's my baby got. It's got really cool history.
2:01:28
Really. I've seen the photo.
2:01:29
Yeah, the photo. It's got like a wild interior
2:01:31
too. It's just a really funky car.
2:01:32
It's purple with purple interior.
2:01:33
Kind of like my G Wagon's going to be the same setup.
2:01:35
That's going to be the tow rig for it.
2:01:36
So it's going to be pretty. Cool.
2:01:37
That's going to be cool, yeah. I'm excited for you dude.
2:01:40
I fucking this is kind of like one of these.
2:01:42
Days. It's a complete new passion
2:01:44
project that like I'm. Where is this?
2:01:46
It's right around the corner right here.
2:01:47
Why the fuck? Don't we just, is it walkable?
2:01:51
Is it like that around the corner?
2:01:52
Yeah, it's like. Almost walkable.
2:01:54
I mean, it's right now. Right now, no.
2:01:55
No, no, not now. I'll.
2:01:56
I'll be over there sometime. I would love to.
2:01:58
Maybe I would like to mess. Up when you got a lot of shit
2:02:00
over there and. So like I'm about to have like a
2:02:02
bunch of, I mean, as of right now, like, well, like I'm not
2:02:05
really selling anything around the holidays.
2:02:06
Now I'm kind of just taking a step back because there's not a
2:02:08
lot of people out there that are like at least on the auction
2:02:10
platforms. I'm not really using them.
2:02:11
So I'm kind of just chilling. Got a couple interest on a few
2:02:13
cars, but I got, I got a really funky BMW coming in right now.
2:02:16
If you like BMWs. I'm not, I was just going to
2:02:18
bring my dad to see some like. Yeah, no, but I have all
2:02:20
Porsches in there. But I'm also like, I'm, you
2:02:23
know, I have some like kind of like fun gamble cars right now
2:02:25
that I ended up buying. So 1 is this.
2:02:27
I bought a clown shoes E3 M It's like an interesting car and I
2:02:29
was chasing a very special color.
2:02:31
One day it popped up and I was like, I need this fucking car.
2:02:33
So I bought it and then I got my G Wagon that's showing up in
2:02:35
like 3 weeks too. So like, place is going to be
2:02:37
pretty full. And then I got, you know, I'm
2:02:40
supposed to fly out to Europe in the beginning of January to go
2:02:42
buy something else. So we'll see what ends up
2:02:43
happening. But yeah, the flow is going
2:02:46
right now. I think actually I'm going to
2:02:47
have Jimmy Oaks as defender inside the space for like a
2:02:49
couple days, yeah. What's he doing with that she's.
2:02:52
She's planning at the. Point you have a fucking
2:02:54
defender. Coming in, What the fuck are we?
2:02:57
Doing here Jimbo maybe? No one knows that yet.
2:02:59
Yeah. Oh, sorry.
2:03:00
No, I don't know. I think he's.
2:03:02
I think yeah, I. Think he made he made a YouTube
2:03:03
video. Yeah, yeah.
2:03:05
Cool. He always doing.
2:03:07
How'd you meet Jimmy? Jimmy's just Jimmy's Jimmy.
2:03:10
Jimmy, I'm honestly like, you know, Jimmy's just from what
2:03:13
I've seen. Like, I don't really look at a
2:03:14
lot of YouTube stuff really at all, like in the car world.
2:03:18
But you know, he's just a genuine dude and you feel it
2:03:20
when you watch shit like so smart.
2:03:22
And at the end of the day, like, you know, a bunch of mutual
2:03:24
friends were close with him. And then I was at like alt race
2:03:26
in Poland. Like saw him like briefly out
2:03:27
there 'cause he was driving out there and then randomly at my
2:03:31
buddies like car show back in like October, he was there and I
2:03:35
said to him, I was like, you know, like we've, we've talked a
2:03:37
little bit on Instagram here and there and it's kind of, you
2:03:39
know, we're not like friends, friends we're, you know, we're
2:03:40
friendly, you know? Yeah, it's, you know, it's cool.
2:03:43
I like what he's doing. That's good for he doesn't even
2:03:46
reply to my shit. Crazy.
2:03:47
That's crazy. He doesn't.
2:03:49
Jimmy, you got to answer. He doesn't ever respond to
2:03:52
nothing. Is he really not?
2:03:53
No. I bet if I put a fucking Sr.
2:03:55
transfer sale for fucking $300.00 he's going to write to
2:03:58
my DMS quick. You know, we talk about like,
2:04:02
you know, some Porsche stuff and, you know, yeah, it's cool.
2:04:04
He's just, he's all around here. Like he's just a guy.
2:04:07
Yeah. Like, the fact that we're
2:04:08
bringing him up in the in a Porsche conversation is like,
2:04:11
yeah. And it's cool too, 'cause like,
2:04:13
you know, like his, like his platform, not, you know, I don't
2:04:16
know the exact age demographic that like, we don't even know
2:04:19
anymore. Yeah, like, who knows?
2:04:20
But I mean, at the end of the day, like a Porsche is probably
2:04:23
a new thing for people to look at if they're really focused on
2:04:25
like a drifter channel. But there's a lot of crossover
2:04:27
that's been happening recently. Yeah.
2:04:29
And I think at the end of the day, like it's like the good
2:04:31
intentions and like the proper people out there that end up
2:04:33
like I don't like the drifting community super tight knit.
2:04:36
The Porsche community is pretty tight knit and just overall
2:04:38
people right now even that aren't in like the Porsche world
2:04:41
or the drifting world, They like watching it.
2:04:43
I think they. He's going to, I think it's like
2:04:45
a taste thing, like if you got good taste, like it's going to
2:04:48
show on everything that you do so.
2:04:51
And I think Jimmy, he's got good.
2:04:52
Taste. So he's going to build something
2:04:54
sick, and if not, he's just going to drive it around or
2:04:56
whatever he likes doing with it and.
2:04:58
They only build like, yeah, no, they, no, they've.
2:05:02
Been some wild shit. I mean, it's cool though.
2:05:04
I think like his 911, like you know, when he found the his 964,
2:05:07
it was like it wasn't planned. He wasn't really out there
2:05:10
hunting for it at all. That's someone in Ireland, just
2:05:13
one of his buddies that's offered in the car and he was
2:05:14
like, OK, fucking deal. Like that shit's cool.
2:05:17
Like that's but that's honestly how it works.
2:05:19
Like, you know, like a lot of things that I buy or find, I'm
2:05:22
not finding it because I'm sitting back here.
2:05:24
I'm finding it because I, yes, I bought something already
2:05:27
predetermined out there that I found to start the mission.
2:05:30
But while I go, I find other shit.
2:05:32
Yeah, it's like the last trip. Yeah, the last trip out there I
2:05:35
bought, you know, like I bought two or three cars and then I
2:05:38
helped like a client get 2 cars too.
2:05:39
But like only one car was the initial plan for the trip.
2:05:43
It just kind of grew into more. You just getting them as you go.
2:05:46
That happened to my brother once.
2:05:47
He bought a meow on the side of the road.
2:05:49
We usually have questions here. Do you want to funnel into
2:05:51
those? Yeah, yeah, I'm taking a look at
2:05:52
them right now. We got a few.
2:05:53
I saw. I saw Malcolm scroll through.
2:05:55
1st, I saw some earlier. Yeah, they were pretty
2:05:58
interesting. Really.
2:06:00
I thought so, But we're going to start with the ridiculous ones.
2:06:03
Yeah, we knew it. We knew it.
2:06:04
That's the best. We knew it.
2:06:05
I knew it. I was like, not like weird ones.
2:06:06
And there they are. No, no, some of these we already
2:06:09
talked about, like one of them he mentioned.
2:06:12
Any thoughts on RWB? We kind of covered that.
2:06:16
Yeah, we, yeah, we covered that. Yeah, you were talking about the
2:06:18
the Japan builds and all that, Charlie Sizzix says.
2:06:22
Why is this dude on a drifting podcast?
2:06:24
Charlie. So you know Charlie too.
2:06:26
I know Charlie, I've only I haven't seen him much recently.
2:06:29
I saw him like randomly one time, like right before he got
2:06:31
married, which is pretty cool. We just ran into each other.
2:06:33
So I love Charlie. Charlie's the man, yeah.
2:06:35
I fuck with that when that happens with like an old friend
2:06:37
of yours. The best part?
2:06:38
Is run into him in like a fucking that's what.
2:06:40
Happened with us. Yeah.
2:06:40
That's what happened here. Yeah.
2:06:41
Yeah, literally. Like while you're at Stop and
2:06:43
Shop, both of you reach for the ring Dings because that's what
2:06:45
Frankie Buck. Needs or the Oreo dude.
2:06:47
This one was even better. Someone goes, yo, there's some
2:06:48
crazy fucking 911 outside or something.
2:06:51
I was like what? And I go outside and I'm like,
2:06:53
did that happen like that or did you hit me up?
2:06:55
No, I think I just, I just showed up.
2:06:57
Yeah, you showed up. I just showed up.
2:06:58
That's. How I am I just show up and I
2:07:00
was like. Dude, what the fuck?
2:07:01
And then we caught up and yeah, he's like, yeah, I'm around the
2:07:04
corner. I'm like, oh, this is sick.
2:07:06
So. But I mean, we were talking
2:07:08
about earlier before I was like, I remember you from the the
2:07:10
stance days, the good old stance days, Yeah.
2:07:13
What Car? What what was the what was the
2:07:15
shit back then? What?
2:07:16
What was that BMW driving back? Then BMW sort of like my thing
2:07:20
back then. Like so I you know I had a 92M3
2:07:23
for like 9 years right? Right.
2:07:24
Love that car actually. Like I don't own it anymore but
2:07:27
I sold it to a good friend of mine.
2:07:28
Still has the car the exact way I sold it to him.
2:07:31
Fucking cool. Automotive specialty wraps, they
2:07:33
said, yeah. Hi, Alex.
2:07:35
To see if they had anything else.
2:07:36
Shout out Kyle. I know he had another one.
2:07:40
It's weird. I don't know where it went.
2:07:43
That kind of upsets me because I remember their question was
2:07:45
really good. I already had one, right?
2:07:50
Oh, is that what I'm thinking about?
2:07:52
Oh, I see it here. OK, so I already said would you,
2:07:55
oh, to me, would you rather visit Japan again or visit
2:07:58
Normandy and visit World War 2 history places?
2:08:00
Definitely Normandy and World War 2.
2:08:02
Places you would. Love that shit.
2:08:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should do that.
2:08:05
I wish one day that's why I kept asking you about Europe.
2:08:08
Yeah, so like, you know, in Poland we, we touched on like a
2:08:10
bunch of like, you know, war history because Warsaw was like
2:08:14
really messed up during it. Yeah, going to Poland would be
2:08:17
awesome. Yeah, Poland.
2:08:18
Poland's really. Yeah, Poland's a sweet place.
2:08:20
It's actually like a really slept on country.
2:08:22
I recommend people to go. What's the like if I went there
2:08:28
like? Are you trying to say are they
2:08:30
racist? Is that what you're trying to
2:08:31
say dude? Because some places I don't
2:08:32
think. They are no no some places.
2:08:34
Are like kind of weird like that in Europe.
2:08:36
Not getting lying like a buddy. I don't know of any.
2:08:39
I forgot where but he like did not have a good time.
2:08:42
Really where it was. Asian, not some Asian hate going
2:08:45
on. Maybe.
2:08:46
Dude, I'm not trying to get socked in the face like I'm
2:08:48
going down. Yeah, now you're good out there.
2:08:51
OK, I bet they don't fuck around in Germany they accept everyone
2:08:54
now they don't. I just need.
2:08:57
Schnitz. They don't want any of the
2:08:58
sauce. That's all you want.
2:08:58
Drink a beer, Schnitzel. Maybe a blonde woman to tell me
2:09:01
I look good. This.
2:09:03
Is some crazy maybe a 964 for 12 grand?
2:09:06
How I would love that. Right now, if that.
2:09:08
Right now. Right now dude, that shit is
2:09:11
really bothering me, you said. 50 to 70.
2:09:14
OK, there's a project 9. There's a Project C4 floating
2:09:17
around with like mismatched fenders, like color wise and
2:09:19
everything and the motor barely works and the guy's still asking
2:09:22
for like €42,000. For it.
2:09:26
Very it's hard to buy these in the aspect of thinking.
2:09:29
You're going to be on Pelican parts dude.
2:09:31
You could sell a form. You could sell like, yeah, yeah.
2:09:33
Yeah, I know that one, that one like it was literally just on
2:09:35
there 129995. Yeah, that's the best.
2:09:38
Yeah, Yeah. Here's a ridiculous one
2:09:40
everything would you rather have a takeover son or an Instagram
2:09:43
model daughter? Holy.
2:09:44
Shit takeover son. Let me see that shit swinging
2:09:48
bro. He's going to total your car.
2:09:49
Alright, so I would say this might sound crazy, but I would
2:09:52
say takeover, yeah, because there's only a, there's a
2:09:55
shorter timeline that they're going to be doing that.
2:09:57
That true? Malcolm.
2:09:57
That's true, you know, And it's, it's at the end of the day, it's
2:09:59
not positive press, but it's just there's less.
2:10:01
Malcolm's buzzed. Over there.
2:10:04
I, I said. Instagram model daughter What?
2:10:07
Because she's making money? You didn't say only fans
2:10:11
daughter, you said Instagram model.
2:10:13
Who said you were getting some of the money?
2:10:15
She's getting money for herself. This takeover kid is just going
2:10:19
to kill somebody. You're not going to.
2:10:20
Takeover kid is going to total your car you, your car your.
2:10:25
Car and if he and if he hits anybody he's hitting another
2:10:27
takeover idiot so. Malcolm's over here trying to
2:10:30
prop. So then you're going to have to
2:10:31
get him out of jail and you're going to have to get a new car.
2:10:34
Yeah, but he's being, he's propositioning being a pimp dad.
2:10:37
No, I'm not. That's what you're, that's what.
2:10:39
You're doing Frankie, which way would you go?
2:10:43
Take over, son. Your son drifts.
2:10:45
Not really, but kind of is a step away.
2:10:48
He's like, maybe he's going. Daughter.
2:10:50
Yeah, you're gonna go, daughter. Yeah, yeah.
2:10:52
Right, well, let's split down the middle.
2:10:53
Because you got to accept what's going on in this situation.
2:10:57
So like I would like if I had a son and he was getting into
2:11:00
that, I would just beat the shit out of him.
2:11:02
So it would. Never.
2:11:03
It would never happen. You're out.
2:11:04
OK. But we can't.
2:11:06
But you can't change. Yeah, we can't control like, I
2:11:08
mean, I see, like, I don't know, I feel like Cali's just the
2:11:11
state for just shit that makes no sense.
2:11:13
Like Grand Theft Auto. You're.
2:11:14
Right. Yeah, right.
2:11:15
I mean it kind of, yeah. How many times you see a fire
2:11:17
when you land in California? All the time.
2:11:19
Like we kind of fires. Yeah, I.
2:11:20
Constantly, a lot. There's everything's on fire.
2:11:22
There's a guy right now making money off Snapchat because he
2:11:25
just goes around all night following the police scanner to
2:11:28
see what goes on. And it literally just looks like
2:11:29
Grand Theft Auto all night. Yeah.
2:11:30
That's crazy. That's awesome.
2:11:32
No good for him, Yeah. But like using.
2:11:33
Money. That's like vigilante clicking
2:11:35
R3 vigilante mission. So you see, you know, like you,
2:11:38
the shit you see out there, like at the end of the day, like
2:11:41
someone's got a card and they're out and they're not with their
2:11:43
dad and they're with their friends.
2:11:44
Yeah. Think about what we used to do
2:11:46
back in the day with, you know, having fun.
2:11:47
We used to do wasn't even removed.
2:11:49
No, it wasn't. It wasn't.
2:11:50
But at the end of the day, I feel.
2:11:52
Like a wimp when I. Hear about what kids are doing
2:11:54
now and. I'm like fuck I.
2:11:55
Was fucking like Ding Dong ditching.
2:11:57
I don't. Feel like a wimp.
2:11:58
I feel like thank God we are not this generation.
2:12:02
But think about like, all right, even if we were like if you were
2:12:04
drifting in a lot back in the day, in a cop roll day, Yeah,
2:12:06
yeah, yeah, they lose their shit back in the day.
2:12:10
You say now it's not as bad I. Would say now it's I.
2:12:13
Got in trouble the other, well, not in trouble, but like I got
2:12:15
like A and I was already gone. I would say like if what if, you
2:12:19
know, if you're just in a lot like one or two people just
2:12:21
hanging out late at night, like, yeah, they're going to be mad,
2:12:22
but at least they can control the chaos versus like a takeover
2:12:25
situation. I.
2:12:26
Have really good experiences with most.
2:12:28
Most good experiences with drifting.
2:12:29
Yeah. The cops would come in and they
2:12:30
wouldn't know what's going on. See I have like the opposite
2:12:32
view. Where would people?
2:12:33
Drift back in the day, didn't they drift like near like Route
2:12:35
23 near the mall? We can't really drop any.
2:12:38
We can't really drop anything on this podcast, but.
2:12:41
Yeah, no, wait. No, I remember.
2:12:43
No, it was. It was at Willowbrook Mall back
2:12:45
in the day. I wasn't from around there, but
2:12:47
I know because of Justin. I mean, we would just hit exit
2:12:49
Rams, I remember. I know I still remember your
2:12:51
Christmas. Video.
2:12:53
Way back in the day, yeah. I know the spot that you're
2:12:56
talking about, and that was definitely yeah at that.
2:13:02
I don't think that goes on there anymore.
2:13:03
Though no, it was behind built up the area.
2:13:05
Now it was behind where Dicks. Was.
2:13:07
It was behind Dicks. It was a huge, you know why?
2:13:09
Because I've drifted there as well.
2:13:10
I had a family party at a buffet that was right by there and I
2:13:15
was like, all right. See, I got to go.
2:13:17
And then took my ass over there behind Expo.
2:13:19
Yeah, it just drifted for a little bit.
2:13:22
Damn, that's why I had to drive a 240.
2:13:24
So now, I mean, now I think like, oh, the cops right away
2:13:28
they're like, oh, there's cars doing Donuts or something.
2:13:30
It's more known now for sure. They're like, oh, let's go
2:13:32
arrest all of them, like. But what if it's just you?
2:13:35
Maybe it's like if it's just you and you're doing Donuts.
2:13:38
I think it's called. Fashion.
2:13:39
They're going to be like, they're going to be like that
2:13:41
guy's, that guy's practicing. Nah, they're fed up now.
2:13:44
They got they're going to. Admire the hard work ethic.
2:13:48
Dude, these guys go to like. Sports Authority?
2:13:51
Oh no, A lot of people drift at Sports Authority.
2:13:53
Easy as shit dude. Like completely destroy them.
2:13:56
I have. AI have a friend that fucking
2:13:57
slides on the street a lot or like a lot around here.
2:14:00
Not in like always drift cars, but.
2:14:02
Like mom talking takeovers. Is it Bobby SR20 Bobby?
2:14:05
Is he a Crown Victoria? No.
2:14:07
Can I shot him out here? God.
2:14:08
Maybe you shoot it. Maybe you should know.
2:14:10
People know. People know, though.
2:14:11
People OK if. People know.
2:14:14
They will know. That's all.
2:14:15
Yeah. But but hey, we should go back
2:14:16
to that spot. I've I've.
2:14:18
Been. Propping you to go let's let's
2:14:20
go back no. Everyone has their OG spots, no?
2:14:22
No, no, I've never. I didn't.
2:14:23
I wasn't friends with Frankie really when they were drifting
2:14:26
that spot and like, I want to go drift that spot and I think we
2:14:30
could do it. Yeah, I agree.
2:14:34
Do you know what I'm talking about?
2:14:35
That was a Wiz wheel I heard on the shop.
2:14:36
You know what I'm talking about. That sounded crazy.
2:14:38
Work never stops here. Let's do it.
2:14:40
Yeah, thank God. Trying to think of how.
2:14:43
Best winter beater question mark?
2:14:46
Toyota Sequoia. Like I said, I saw one for 2500
2:14:51
the other day. I was like, how could you get
2:14:52
better than this? No, I mean, he's probably
2:14:55
honestly pretty spot on with $2500.
2:14:58
You really think about it, it's a Toyota.
2:14:59
It's never going to die, never going to die.
2:15:00
You don't have to really worry about rust as I mean Toyota rust
2:15:03
you have to worry about, but it's.
2:15:04
Easy to find. It's like.
2:15:06
It's right there. No, like I'm not.
2:15:08
And you could go pretty much anywhere with that thing.
2:15:10
Yeah, yeah. How do you pronounce Porsche?
2:15:17
I think it's Porsche because we've all been saying it like
2:15:19
you. Just pronounced it right, but
2:15:20
some people say Porsche. I've been I was saying Porsche
2:15:22
all my life and then my dad's friend yelled at me one.
2:15:25
Time. That's all it.
2:15:26
Is I just let people say what they want to say, but like I
2:15:29
always say Porsche. Yeah, but props to us.
2:15:32
Were actually pronouncing that right whole podcast.
2:15:33
Should I be saying it like? Porsche.
2:15:37
Like fucking like, my name is Hans.
2:15:39
I don't know. And I drive a.
2:15:40
Porsche I. Saw Ethan would do it.
2:15:42
There was this guy at the bar once that had like a like, you
2:15:46
know, like the inside of your sleeve, like your cup, like your
2:15:48
when you unbutton it, it had like a print on it.
2:15:51
And he had him rolled up and he had like some fucking bright
2:15:54
blonde hair, dude. And he had like every button
2:15:56
undone at the bar. My boss used that voice and that
2:16:01
voice clip of me doing that just now to describe him.
2:16:06
I wonder how he's doing, dude. He was a great boss, really.
2:16:10
This is a good one. This is for Carl.
2:16:12
If Carl adds Pington to the end of another word, I swear I'm
2:16:16
going to lose my shit. Dude, why don't you fucking find
2:16:19
another Pottington? Because that's not stopping.
2:16:23
Any pington? Any Dayington P car man here?
2:16:30
What is your favorite P car? I guess that is the thing.
2:16:33
Did we talk about your favorite portion?
2:16:35
No, we didn't. But I mean we.
2:16:36
Didn't talk about that once. I would say it's kind of clear
2:16:38
though. It's where I always try to steer
2:16:40
people. Is it the 964 track car with the
2:16:42
purple outside of purple? Really, really at the end of the
2:16:45
day, like an attainable car I would say for anybody and also
2:16:47
included myself, A964, as long as you don't get all-wheel
2:16:50
drive, avoid all-wheel drive altogether.
2:16:51
If you can go with a 2 wheel drive Carrera 2 and it's the
2:16:55
best all around her, you can have the most fun with it, you
2:16:57
can modify it, you can enjoy it, and honestly your value you're
2:17:00
not losing. But I can't.
2:17:01
But I don't have $100,000. Eventually you'll find one that
2:17:04
will make sense. All right, fair enough.
2:17:06
I'm trying new school or old school Porsches.
2:17:09
Old school. All right.
2:17:11
Old enough where there's. Not a lot of people.
2:17:13
We'll, we'll go a little further on it.
2:17:15
Yeah. After basically 997 variance.
2:17:17
So we're talking like some of the later 99 sevens or like 20
2:17:20
elevens, 20 twelves, a little bit old.
2:17:22
Yeah, like right around there. Everything after that.
2:17:25
Not it. When was the final Mets?
2:17:28
Final Metzger ended in 2010. OK, so that's where I'm done,
2:17:30
yeah. I think you could consider like
2:17:32
old school, new school like. Air, he's probably talking,
2:17:35
yeah. I would go, I would go, I would
2:17:36
go air cool or I would go, I would go air cooled over water
2:17:39
cooled if we're going to go that way, OK.
2:17:42
Just there's way more soul and way more heart in the cars.
2:17:44
They give, you know, the feedback.
2:17:46
Everything you put into it, you're going to get out of it.
2:17:48
Yeah, in the streets. Shut up, Josh kind of fucking
2:17:52
buzzed. 3IN no, you're 2. What are you about two?
2:17:57
2 1/2 not even just two and a neck fuck.
2:18:02
Why do most people prefer to travel 300 plus miles to
2:18:05
different tracks than spend $1000 on a weekend at Club
2:18:08
Loose? Who is asking?
2:18:11
That's an interesting. 1. That's like.
2:18:12
Who is asking that? N.
2:18:15
Condos. Beans.
2:18:16
Oh, Nick Kontos. Why do most people prefer to
2:18:19
spend 300 miles plus? I mean, I can answer that
2:18:22
because it's nice to experience different tracks and get.
2:18:25
Away from the house. And go to different places I'm.
2:18:27
Depressed. But I think I'm missing this
2:18:29
question. Wait, why why why?
2:18:32
Most people prefer to spend 300 miles plus just to to 300,
2:18:36
travel 300 miles plus to different tracks, then spend
2:18:39
$1000 on a weekend at club loose on tires because of the track
2:18:43
surface upside down :). I don't know if it was a
2:18:46
question or a statement, but you know.
2:18:48
Complaining about something right now.
2:18:50
He might be complaining about something he.
2:18:52
Was he complaining about track condition?
2:18:53
No, no, he's complaining about somebody else complaining about
2:18:56
track conditions after they drove.
2:18:58
Very right. Yeah, that's what I think.
2:19:01
But. I'd say there's two.
2:19:02
I mean, I don't drift. Hey, man, look, that's none of
2:19:05
our business, but if you want to make it ours, we could talk
2:19:07
about this. Has anyone ever been interested
2:19:10
slash 1 into any other Motorsports besides drifting?
2:19:14
This probably. I mean, this is all of us I
2:19:15
guess, but I. Auto crossed for a little bit,
2:19:18
it sucked. You do that shit, you're dumb.
2:19:22
It was perfect. That was the best answer.
2:19:24
They make you work. They make you work to chase the
2:19:27
cones. That might be.
2:19:28
Yeah. And if they put you in a section
2:19:30
where people are fucking knocking that cone all day,
2:19:33
you're AB. You're AB.
2:19:35
There's only one positive to Auto Cross that I actually can
2:19:37
fuck with. Yes, if you get a new car,
2:19:39
something that you're not comfortable with, yeah, you
2:19:40
could just go to a parking lot and go figure out the car.
2:19:43
But Auto Cross is a very Safeway to get your feet wet to learn
2:19:45
the car. That's true.
2:19:46
And on a track you'll you'll push harder at the auto cross
2:19:49
track trying to figure it out. Then you're willing to track any
2:19:50
day 'cause you're worried about a wall or worried about going
2:19:52
off in a weird spot that's. Very, I think.
2:19:54
And it's also, you know, but it depends, like there's people
2:19:56
that kind of get into shit and then they don't really graduate
2:19:58
or they don't really kind of look for levels to go like and
2:20:00
kind of change their minds a little bit.
2:20:02
So like if you're A1 dimensional auto cross guy, that kind of
2:20:04
sounds lame. I will.
2:20:05
No longer believe in it when after I went to an auto cross
2:20:09
where they were like no drifting and I had a 240 there and I had
2:20:13
ball tires and they and the guy literally at the literally at
2:20:16
the drivers meeting was like, and where's that ball tire?
2:20:21
We're going to be watching you. And I was like right away, what
2:20:24
the fuck? And then I get an instructor in
2:20:26
the car and he we get some oversteer for like 1 sweeping
2:20:30
corner and I held it instead of like catching it, which is what
2:20:34
they want you to do. Instructors having a fucking
2:20:37
ball in the passenger seat. Oh yeah.
2:20:39
And then he tells me not to do that when we get to the.
2:20:41
End. They're always gonna, they're
2:20:42
always gonna be smiling, having the time of their life when you
2:20:45
when like you're doing what you're not supposed to be.
2:20:47
Doing because it's. Fine, when you're drifting like
2:20:49
what we have is the best. They're like, we haven't had
2:20:51
somebody come through here in a couple years that have been like
2:20:53
this and this is fun for the this is for the one lap and then
2:20:55
look at you're like never again or you're off.
2:20:57
That was at Baderfield. I like that organization though,
2:20:59
down in Atlantic City. That was a.
2:21:01
Was an interesting at. Baderfield, I wish we could
2:21:03
drift. I only know Baderfield for other
2:21:05
reasons. Not for drifting heroin.
2:21:07
No. If I remember right, that's
2:21:09
where some painful Hornets would be back in the day.
2:21:10
Oh yeah, they did heal, yeah. Relax.
2:21:13
Girl. Yeah, paintball.
2:21:14
Yeah, paintball. Yeah, paintball.
2:21:15
That's where the you knew what the spelling salt out earlier.
2:21:17
I was like, I know these things. Dude, dude.
2:21:19
We're. Trying.
2:21:20
To but this shit's fucking. Wild he did not like.
2:21:22
You did it. I mean, I'll rock it again right
2:21:24
now, but like he did not like. 'Cause he used to the tube.
2:21:27
The tube. The tube is did you stick?
2:21:29
Your whole nose in the no, give it.
2:21:30
A shot. Let's see what's up.
2:21:31
Oh God. Bader Field had a lot of
2:21:34
concerts. They had a lot of concerts at
2:21:36
Bakerfield. Alright, Alex, whipping out the
2:21:38
smelling. Sauce.
2:21:38
You know what you know. You know what they used to call
2:21:40
me back in the day. Be careful.
2:21:41
This. Alright.
2:21:41
When you open this shit, it's already fucked.
2:21:44
Dude, you've got to be careful. With the eyes, I'm going to be
2:21:46
careful. I got glasses.
2:21:47
We got a little protection. Like it went in my eye before
2:21:50
and I could barely see. You can't get closer.
2:21:54
Yeah, no, it hurts. It it's in your eye like you
2:21:56
feel it in your. Eyes.
2:21:57
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at you.
2:21:59
I'm not that. I'm not doing that right now.
2:22:01
Maybe. I'm no honestly.
2:22:02
Maybe I might I'm. Curious about the warning labels
2:22:05
on this shit, yeah. It does say.
2:22:06
It says with it. It's pretty serious, but they
2:22:09
got to understand like anything in life, it's like you could put
2:22:12
the instructions, but there's plenty of people that.
2:22:14
Push it. I mean, you should saw Carl the
2:22:15
first time he put his nose inside.
2:22:17
Of the I told him don't do. That does that actually break
2:22:19
down in the bottle over time or like how old is that bottle
2:22:22
that's been he'll. Tell you right now if it does
2:22:24
okay. He went for it, yeah.
2:22:28
Carly, OK. His reaction's strong.
2:22:30
I kind of held. It you had a nice calm react.
2:22:33
Carl does not enjoy this stuff, but he does it every time.
2:22:35
It's almost like he's in. Yeah, no, when we walked in
2:22:37
here, but when we walked in here right away he went for it.
2:22:39
He was like, you know about these?
2:22:40
And I was like, yeah, I know about, but this bottle looks
2:22:44
different. He goes.
2:22:44
That's why we like. This, this shit's wild.
2:22:46
I was like alright. This is the shit they have on
2:22:48
Rogan. Yeah, This is why we like
2:22:49
drifting, because it fucking hurts.
2:22:51
To. Do did you want?
2:22:53
It. No, I'm good, Carl.
2:22:54
Yeah, but thank you. Did you enjoy it?
2:22:59
Just now, yeah, no 'cause that one was a sneaky.
2:23:02
Did you feel like it was like, powerful?
2:23:04
Because I have a little bit of like a blockage in my nose
2:23:06
'cause it's getting colder out and I had to like push through
2:23:10
that and it just like. It's actually feels like it's
2:23:13
pretty good for sinuses, yeah. It it worked real good.
2:23:16
It's like a, it reminds. Me of.
2:23:18
Vick's vapor rub. It just feels like blood is just
2:23:21
pouring out of my nose. Simple.
2:23:23
Smith asks. What got you to jump from BMWs
2:23:26
to Porsche? That's a good question.
2:23:29
So I would say it was it was my taste for like uniqueness for
2:23:33
me. You look at a lot of BMW specs
2:23:35
out there that even came out like the cars, they're just a
2:23:37
little bit more cookie cutter. Some of them give you a lot of
2:23:40
good driving feel and they're nice.
2:23:41
But like, I feel like it's a kind of like a positive
2:23:43
migration where you start to get into Porsche as you just really
2:23:46
if you you know, if you're an enthusiast that cares about
2:23:48
driving and cares about like a lot of feel aspects.
2:23:51
Like for me, the only BMW that could ever feel like anything
2:23:54
like a Porsche, and this is like a kind of wild one, but it's an
2:23:56
E36 M3 gives you a lot of good feel feedback.
2:23:59
In fact, then I really, I had one for a couple years.
2:24:02
I really enjoyed that car and I really liked it.
2:24:04
But for me it's the mechanical feel.
2:24:07
Once you get into that and you feel that you're, you're kind of
2:24:10
screwed forever because there's not many cars out there that
2:24:11
will give you that. But I do still like BMW.
2:24:14
It's like I just bought a BMW recently.
2:24:15
So like I still hunt, but I but the hunt list is way smaller on
2:24:19
the BMW side than it is for Porsche because there's just a
2:24:22
lot there's. Porsche went more on the funky
2:24:25
side, especially in the 90s than BMWI.
2:24:27
Feel like there's so many unique 9 elevens.
2:24:31
Yeah. And then you look at like as
2:24:32
chassis and it's like, yeah, that one's black.
2:24:34
Yeah, you're comparing a fucking.
2:24:36
No, but. Like a dragon fruit to an apple.
2:24:39
But the I would say the biggest thing is this, like we were
2:24:42
talking about it earlier, you were like, you're not going to
2:24:43
see like a 240 with some wild interior.
2:24:45
You're not going to see that's exactly.
2:24:46
What? Yeah, versus like a Porsche.
2:24:47
Factory or some shit. So like a Porsche or like a BMW
2:24:50
for example. Like sure the E36 is if you know
2:24:52
like the M rain interior that they used to do with the funky
2:24:54
inserts. Well, that actually brings me to
2:24:55
my next question. Favorite BMWM cloth?
2:24:59
Did we talk about this recently? I don't think so.
2:25:02
Yes, we did. M Rain came up in another
2:25:04
conversation. Last week's pod, I'd probably go
2:25:07
with M Marine, but that's because I had it at a point when
2:25:09
I bought an E36. It's like I got to get an M
2:25:11
Marine interior and I found one locally one day and I bought it
2:25:13
and that's like what I wanted. But the problem is with the BMW
2:25:15
is like if you put some funky fabric in that car, it's never
2:25:18
going to flow. You could do it.
2:25:20
You could go put it in 9/11 and you're going to look and be like
2:25:22
that could have came from the factory like this.
2:25:24
Well, because it could be because it was funky like that.
2:25:26
Yeah, yeah. It was like interesting.
2:25:29
It was like an appeal. There was just like AI don't
2:25:31
know. There was a what the fuck do you
2:25:34
call that pop something art? Art pop up, I think.
2:25:40
What's the What's the what's the Porsche?
2:25:42
Yeah. Pepita No, no, no, they did.
2:25:45
Just the way that they execute it.
2:25:46
It's just more of like it has like an art, yeah, type of.
2:25:51
Sounds like there's a word for that.
2:25:53
Fuck, it's. Not.
2:25:54
Autistic, that's where I am. But like, it's interesting that
2:25:59
they had so many unique different options.
2:26:03
Yes, it seems like. And if you were really like,
2:26:06
like if you had the real like now people always talk about
2:26:09
like fucking PTS colors this and that, that shit honestly today
2:26:12
means nothing. It just means that you had a
2:26:13
connection with the dealer to get something that basically 90%
2:26:17
of the world had the ability to get you if you were just
2:26:18
spending money. Versus back in the day in the
2:26:21
90s, if you had some funky interior car, you either either
2:26:26
Porsche built a car for themselves and you got offered
2:26:28
the car somehow luckily, or you were just such like a connected
2:26:31
person with a brand that they would let you do whatever the
2:26:34
fuck you wanted they would find a way to do.
2:26:35
It so it wasn't normal to like be able to get these options.
2:26:38
So there's options like there's one car that you know that I've
2:26:42
been on for a bit, but it basically it's like a leather to
2:26:46
sample everywhere, like the even the vents down to like even like
2:26:49
the stock on the cluster, like all like the turn signals,
2:26:52
they're leather wrapped and it's got carbon from like back in the
2:26:55
day. That's perfect still and like,
2:26:56
but every single thing is leather on the car and
2:26:58
everything is red. Like nothing is has any
2:27:00
variation to it. It's all special and like that
2:27:03
shit, back in the day you couldn't get that if you went
2:27:05
into the, you know, went to deal.
2:27:06
It was like, I want a full red interior with the with the AC
2:27:08
vents and everything. You weren't getting it maybe.
2:27:12
You know, 2 like less than 10 cars a year were built.
2:27:14
Going to be very wild and out there like that.
2:27:16
And then when you look at the option code list, if you go into
2:27:18
it, there's like 50 options because every single little
2:27:20
leather piece, it's like a separate option for those cars.
2:27:23
But they would do that. They would do it and there are
2:27:26
cars out there, yeah. But but to me that to me they
2:27:30
had, they just had a lot of swinging power just like you.
2:27:33
Said like like like. PTS you just got a big, you got
2:27:37
a, you got a big wallet. You had to have a big wallet
2:27:40
portion of cars or you bought it and then and then yeah, yeah,
2:27:43
but it's, but it's different back then, like one car I have.
2:27:46
I mean, the interior has been changed now, but it was, it's
2:27:48
my, it's my track car. It's it's amethyst with a, with
2:27:51
a magenta interior factory. But it's not just they did
2:27:54
magenta. You could order magenta back in
2:27:56
the day. You get a purple dash and
2:27:57
everything. But what they didn't do a lot of
2:27:59
time was they would 2 tone it. So this car was a factory grey
2:28:03
and magenta interior, not a combo.
2:28:06
It's like a funky combo. But now all the all the Grey's
2:28:08
been ripped out and now it's all black and purple.
2:28:10
But but it's got funky like Mexican with Sony fabric seats.
2:28:14
But these you think most of these cars were custom ordered
2:28:16
or they were built that way hoping people will buy them?
2:28:19
Custom ordered the most part unless Porsche built them as
2:28:22
like a funky press car just to show off what they can do and
2:28:24
like that. Which does happen.
2:28:26
It does happen like the car that I've been after.
2:28:27
That's what the car is. The car is just something that
2:28:30
Porsche wanted to show off what they could do.
2:28:33
So they said here's, you know, and then they basically built
2:28:35
into like, but nobody can really get.
2:28:36
This now do they still do things like this today?
2:28:40
Some cars have like some wild CXX options, which in today's
2:28:43
world, it's like they're out there.
2:28:46
They're not as rare as with what they were back in the day.
2:28:48
But you know, there is, you know, you can get it done.
2:28:51
You can do you know, you could pick you could pick your
2:28:53
fabrics, you could pick your leather color and.
2:28:55
Get it to work. But you could do it.
2:28:56
You could. But it's very it's like it's
2:28:58
hard. Could.
2:28:59
You go on the website and do this, yeah.
2:29:01
You could go fuck around on the website, you could do it any
2:29:03
color you want. They're the only brand right now
2:29:06
that you can basically go build a car that you probably can't go
2:29:08
buy. And then you could, I mean, if
2:29:10
you had. Just click.
2:29:14
No, no. So at the end of the day, the
2:29:15
the problem with Porsche, at least in today's world, is like
2:29:18
so many people want the new cars and like a lot of people have
2:29:21
the money to buy them. But Porsche has such they don't
2:29:24
even have such limited allocations.
2:29:25
It's just like a it's a pissing match at the dealers.
2:29:28
It's not. It takes, in my opinion, the joy
2:29:31
out of buying. You ever seen Nikita?
2:29:33
Do you know who that is? He drifts one.
2:29:35
Yeah, yeah, he fucking drifts the shit out of that thing.
2:29:38
I wonder what that allocation person thought.
2:29:41
Wait is that wait is that the dude in Cali that drifts the
2:29:44
Rubystone GT3? Yeah, a transformer fell on it
2:29:48
at first. Or like a telephone pole like.
2:29:51
When I first. Got it.
2:29:53
And then, Malcolm, do you mind pulling it?
2:29:54
Up this guy's. This guy's fucking out of his
2:29:56
mind. When I met him, I met him.
2:29:58
You met him. I I met him because when I first
2:30:01
knew him maybe a decade ago, he him and a friend, him and his
2:30:05
friend were doing 240 stuff. His name was Abel.
2:30:08
His name on YouTube I think was offbeat garage on Instagram.
2:30:13
You have to like search it. Nikita.
2:30:15
Nikita 240 no NI sorry. It should come up IT 240.
2:30:28
Yeah, that one. Yeah, yeah, this guy.
2:30:31
I'm out of control. So I met him at final bout and I
2:30:34
was like dude I know you from so long ago but now I know you
2:30:37
because of doing this crazy shit.
2:30:40
I just saw Ilya in one of the photos.
2:30:42
Yeah, no, he drifts with the Ilya and stuff.
2:30:44
Yeah, now there's some wild. But look at this, look at this,
2:30:46
look. Watch him do the reverse entry
2:30:48
with it. Yeah, that, yeah.
2:30:49
Valcolm go, exit out, go to, go to.
2:30:51
There's a there's a wild one where he comes in like full
2:30:53
like. It might be No, no, no.
2:30:56
It's one of the more recent videos.
2:30:57
It's not going to be further back.
2:30:58
It the the blurry one underneath Ilya's.
2:31:00
It's yeah, I think. Is it this one?
2:31:03
No, he just always drift in this one corner.
2:31:05
Go to the. Reel He's had to post this as a
2:31:07
reel because I would get all the views.
2:31:10
It definitely went. Crazy.
2:31:11
It was nuts though. Any.
2:31:12
Streets this thing ranky look at this.
2:31:15
Maybe it's. Mike and Sebastian definitely
2:31:17
know this person. They do.
2:31:18
I think they went to his birthday or something like that.
2:31:21
I don't know. They're all friends over there.
2:31:22
I feel like anybody who does anything cool over there, like
2:31:25
just knows anybody. Where is this video?
2:31:28
Why is it not here? Anymore you guys are so focused
2:31:30
on maybe it's maybe got taken down.
2:31:32
Maybe I don't know. All I know is that it's a Ruby
2:31:36
GT3 and does. Things does crazy.
2:31:38
Stuff and. You've seen the drones.
2:31:41
I haven't seen one personally. I kind of want.
2:31:42
To if we go outside right now, you'll see one so.
2:31:45
You live in Wayne. No, I don't live in Wayne right
2:31:47
now. Yeah, I live in Edgewater now,
2:31:49
so I'm done by the. You're not seeing it, so I'm not
2:31:50
seeing it. I can't even see if you were if.
2:31:52
You don't see a. *. By one, if you go out here right
2:31:54
now, I say all. Right go.
2:31:54
So what's your All right, they're looking.
2:31:57
We got to get. We got to get.
2:31:58
They're looking, they're looking for a nuke because somebody
2:31:59
fucked up. That's it I think.
2:32:02
OK, that's not. It that's what you think?
2:32:04
I mean, what the fuck? Else they're going over like
2:32:06
military base. They're going over everywhere.
2:32:09
I live really close to Picatinny, like maybe in 30
2:32:12
minutes. So like I see them every like
2:32:15
not every other night anymore. Now it's like every night I can
2:32:18
like go out and go find one and like I our one.
2:32:21
Our faction group chat is like AJ and Wags.
2:32:24
I think live in Wayne or AJ lives in Wayne.
2:32:27
What's AJ's last name? Latosa.
2:32:29
I went to school with his younger brother.
2:32:31
Oh. Yeah, he has a younger.
2:32:32
Brother. Yeah, I always think his
2:32:34
brother's older than him, but he's younger.
2:32:36
Yeah. I don't know why.
2:32:37
Yeah. But anyway, like all right, the
2:32:40
other night I told you this. Did I talk about this on the
2:32:42
last? I don't think we talked about
2:32:43
the drones on the podcast. When I I went outside as a joke,
2:32:47
I was like, I'm going to go find some drones, go outside, have a
2:32:50
cigarette, see nothing if Carl's looking.
2:32:53
He'll find it. Clear drones are are clear of
2:32:57
any drones. Clear sky.
2:32:59
So then I'm like, I'm just fucking now I'm just going to
2:33:02
bullshit. Turn around and look at the
2:33:04
Sequoia. Make a mental note of some
2:33:06
things I got to do in the coming weeks because it's winter and I
2:33:08
suggest you all to do the same thing and because the daily you
2:33:12
should be maintaining maintaining your daily better
2:33:14
than the sports car, like the race car.
2:33:17
So I'm looking at it. I turn around, I look up that
2:33:22
motherfucking there's like a It's usually red and green.
2:33:25
Yeah, that's what I saw. So red and green, it's like
2:33:29
coming towards like, let's say I'm standing here.
2:33:32
Looks like a plane to me. It's coming.
2:33:33
No, it's not. Do you hear the?
2:33:35
Metal. Can you hear the metal?
2:33:36
I can. You can hear like I have been
2:33:37
close enough to you that you've been able to hear.
2:33:38
It everything's been loud when I've been looking.
2:33:40
Yeah, it's too much, but it's it's not.
2:33:43
It just does not look like a plane.
2:33:45
So then what do I do? I drop my cigarette.
2:33:48
I'm running across my fucking front and I run inside.
2:33:52
I get Daryl and Joe. They're as comfortable as you
2:33:55
could be on the sofa. I wish I could see what the.
2:33:57
And you're just like, freaking out.
2:33:58
I'm like, I'm like, yo, because I need, you know what I need?
2:34:01
I need another set of eyes. To see what you saw to.
2:34:04
See what I'm seeing Daryl Joe, get the fuck up right now.
2:34:08
There's a drone outside. I know it's fucking around.
2:34:10
I'm not fucking around right now.
2:34:11
Let's go. Come on, let's go.
2:34:12
Get up. I need you to see this.
2:34:13
I need you to. They get outside.
2:34:16
We can't see it. It's pretty dark.
2:34:17
You just see the red and green. I mean, it can't really do
2:34:21
anything. It's a.
2:34:22
Full moon? Is it hovering there or is it
2:34:24
moving? It's moving at a pretty rapid
2:34:26
rate. So then the rate the the moon is
2:34:29
full and then Joe, like is saying like, yeah, I can't
2:34:33
really see it. I'm like, yeah, I can't really
2:34:34
see. It flies over where the moon is.
2:34:37
Now we can see I saw X, Yeah. And Joe, as soon as you seen the
2:34:43
X, she was like, Nope, ran right inside.
2:34:46
She was like, I feel like I wasn't supposed to see that.
2:34:48
We didn't see that. We didn't see anything.
2:34:50
We didn't see anything. Carl, I'm like, Joe, you saw it
2:34:52
though. And she's like, we didn't see
2:34:53
anything. I saw three of those
2:34:54
motherfuckers on the way home one night.
2:34:55
No, I'm good. They're looking.
2:34:57
Are you spooked by them? Not really because of what am I
2:34:59
going to do. Something, but yeah.
2:35:02
Can't do anything. But there's, you know, like.
2:35:04
Frankie. I think it's the federal
2:35:05
government, yeah, that's what. Yeah, yeah.
2:35:06
But I don't know what they're doing they're actually doing.
2:35:08
Something I mean. I mean, it could be.
2:35:11
It's it's it's but everyone. 'S going to have their
2:35:12
conspiracies about what they think.
2:35:14
What do you think? If you just put me on the cuff
2:35:16
just so like I didn't have a lot of time to think like right now,
2:35:18
like what came to because every single time I think about it,
2:35:21
different shit comes to mind. What?
2:35:23
Just came to mind right now is maybe they're testing like some
2:35:24
facial recognition shit trying to maybe, maybe they're not
2:35:27
finding a specific person. But if we if they knew that they
2:35:30
could send drones out that would just they had people's faces and
2:35:33
then they would know where people live.
2:35:34
They would know whatever ideal theories do because you know,
2:35:36
there's a lot of people that you know, have committed crimes that
2:35:39
they can't find. No, I don't.
2:35:41
Thinking of it. From you think it's different
2:35:43
OK, because, because. I'm thinking it's like, let's
2:35:45
just see if we could do this. That's what I'm thinking.
2:35:48
Too, I think. I think so.
2:35:49
For that reason, for that, it could be for that reason.
2:35:51
But I think, no. I think at the end of the day,
2:35:52
like right now, some shit's going on.
2:35:54
People are trying to see what they can push boundaries wise
2:35:57
and AS you know, people living here, we can't do shit about
2:36:01
anything so. I just hate it because for
2:36:03
months, months of this year, I was like, yo, I feel like
2:36:09
something weird is going to happen.
2:36:11
Well, it's. Also and then I always.
2:36:13
Have. Yeah, but it was even before
2:36:16
that. It was even before that.
2:36:17
And the fact that it's like, it's so fucking close to my
2:36:22
house. Yeah, but why is it New Jersey?
2:36:24
Why us? We that that is.
2:36:26
Close enough. You know why the fuck?
2:36:28
Does it have to be the state that I happened to be in after I
2:36:30
brought this like at? Least if they did California,
2:36:32
they would not they would have a lot of they would be my more
2:36:35
about people. My original theory was that
2:36:37
maybe in New Jersey, because no one will probably shoot, shoot
2:36:40
it down or shoot at it. Because we can't.
2:36:43
We somebody in Long Branch. Already tried to do that.
2:36:46
Concealed carry like 3 years ago.
2:36:48
So no one even really has guns here.
2:36:50
No one knows anything about guns so.
2:36:52
They. Do everybody I feel like.
2:36:54
Some more people are getting them though.
2:36:56
Oh yeah, tons of people have known, but for the majority,
2:36:58
like people around here, this area, if you bring up a gun that
2:37:02
they're like. I was at the car wash and a
2:37:04
guy's fucking like gun fell out of his holster on this and I and
2:37:07
he's talking to me about my one of my cars.
2:37:08
And I fucking I looked at the guy.
2:37:10
I go, what the fuck is wrong with you?
2:37:12
And he looks at me. He goes, you didn't see shit.
2:37:14
And I, I go to him. I'm like, I'm like just please
2:37:17
get away from me. Like I don't like, I don't know
2:37:19
how to react to this. I'm just trying to wash my car.
2:37:21
Yeah, like. I would just say.
2:37:22
You didn't see? Yeah, yeah.
2:37:24
I was like, I was like, do I'm ahead?
2:37:25
I'm like, do you have your concealed carry?
2:37:26
Do not Yeah, you don't know 'cause you have it.
2:37:29
He literally had it on his waistband.
2:37:30
And like he's talking to me and I see this and I'm like, I don't
2:37:33
really want to be next to this guy right now 'cause And then to
2:37:36
me and then he. Drops it like that I'm going to
2:37:38
hopefully assume and the fact that you haven't pointed it at
2:37:41
me just if you point it at me we're gonna we've.
2:37:46
Experienced those people though, the people that find the need to
2:37:49
flaunt that they have a concealed carry permit, which is
2:37:51
literally the exact opposite. Way, I mean, I'm looking at the
2:37:53
guy, I'm like, you got shorts on and you're wearing like a shirt
2:37:55
that like you, you could clearly tell what you have underneath.
2:37:58
Yeah, like, why are you doing this right now?
2:37:59
No, just it's fun. It's just that happened, that
2:38:02
happened at the Hackensack car, right?
2:38:04
About this shit. That's why I kind of like that
2:38:07
there's a process to get that because it will rule out a lot
2:38:11
of people that won't. Yeah, effort to get, yeah,
2:38:14
you'll get it. But some will get through the
2:38:15
cracks and then you end up with situations like that.
2:38:17
Yeah, I mean, but who knows? He probably had it, you know, he
2:38:18
probably had his concealed. He might have.
2:38:20
He just, I just, I kind of spooked him a little because I
2:38:22
was like, dude, like I'm all. Like how the hell are you
2:38:24
dropping the blink? How the fuck does that happen?
2:38:27
Don't they have like, isn't that like a big no no first?
2:38:29
Yeah. You're not.
2:38:30
Supposed to thank God that's not a what?
2:38:32
What the fuck is that gun that we were talking about that that
2:38:34
they made a joke about it and there's a lot.
2:38:36
The Other Day, P320. No, that that when you drop it,
2:38:38
it shoots. Yeah, P320.
2:38:39
What do you got? A sig?
2:38:41
Yeah. That sounds scary.
2:38:42
Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of problems
2:38:44
with. That, yeah.
2:38:45
Like I'm Yeah. I don't want to cheddar Bob
2:38:46
myself. Like that's all.
2:38:48
Cheddar, Bob. But I definitely would like a
2:38:49
gun on me. I'm small, I don't.
2:38:51
I can't fight like I'm. I'm pulling a gun on you.
2:38:53
That was my theory, though, Originally, yeah.
2:38:55
And then I was like, what was another reason for New Jersey?
2:39:00
Well, new. Jersey, the most dense.
2:39:02
The New Jersey is the most densely populated state, and we
2:39:06
do have a tendency to be pretty vocal about how we feel.
2:39:11
Yeah. So maybe they're like, let's do
2:39:13
it here and see what happens. So let's see how people react.
2:39:17
Yeah, and. Guess what?
2:39:18
They're getting a lot of chatter, but nothing's really.
2:39:20
Happening. Guess what?
2:39:21
No one's doing anything about it.
2:39:22
They're they're, they're flying their drones every night and
2:39:24
none of us are doing a damn thing about it.
2:39:26
Spooky thing I felt the other day.
2:39:27
This is maybe last night or two nights ago, but like it was
2:39:31
midnight and it was not windy. No storm power goes out.
2:39:36
I was like, I've lived at this house now for five years.
2:39:40
That doesn't really happen. So I'm like.
2:39:43
First thought drone. No, my first thought was like, I
2:39:47
need to look up in the sky right now.
2:39:50
So did you see a drone? No, I couldn't look.
2:39:52
I couldn't go outside. I was fucking scared of shit.
2:39:54
What the? Fuck I was.
2:39:57
Carl is afraid of the dark. It was late at night.
2:39:59
It's the fact that like. I want to prevent anything that
2:40:03
I can from getting to me and since I'm since I'm like
2:40:06
stripped of that. I dealt with, I dealt with a
2:40:09
situation where we I was full on panic mode.
2:40:11
For like 4 hours I can't do that.
2:40:13
When we were in Europe on this. Because it's dark.
2:40:15
But anyway that it it was it was dark power out.
2:40:18
It's late. I look at the outage, I go to
2:40:22
Jersey power and light. I don't know if if you're PSE&G
2:40:24
or? Not what they say.
2:40:25
There's no outage. No.
2:40:26
So I report the outage. No, no outage reported.
2:40:29
And then I'm now I'm like bugging out.
2:40:31
So I'm like Facebook group, like I go to my town.
2:40:34
Facebook Oh, you're like the mother, like the mothers of the.
2:40:36
Worst place to go man. I look it up it says somebody
2:40:39
has a outage here how much how the town is affected here here
2:40:42
here here here now the next post drone watch here here here here
2:40:45
here I'm. Like.
2:40:46
Oh my God. Fuck, like I'm freaking myself
2:40:49
out. You've heard of the Citizen app?
2:40:51
What the fuck is that? It's like, it's like a
2:40:53
California thing, but I, I wish it was out here.
2:40:55
Oh, I. Think I heard of this?
2:40:56
Is this like ring neighbors? So alright, it's like if your
2:40:58
power went out and you lived in California, you would go on your
2:41:00
citizen app and they would literally be like 10 posts
2:41:03
probably in the last 30 seconds telling you everything that's
2:41:05
happened within. No, but you set like the radius.
2:41:08
So it could be like, you know where you're at within a mile.
2:41:11
You could even get it down to like.
2:41:12
So my neighbor. You could get it down to like
2:41:14
1/4. 'Cause I saw.
2:41:15
I get you could get real spooked like my buddies in California
2:41:19
used to always like joke. They'd be like this shit popped
2:41:22
up. I'm freaking out.
2:41:23
And it's like you read and it's just like, you know, it could be
2:41:25
like a shooting could be like a fire, but like, but like it
2:41:28
tells you it's like 200 feet away.
2:41:30
You're just like, what the fuck do I do now?
2:41:33
But like, you know, that's again, like, yeah, but that's
2:41:36
like The funny thing about, like, curiosity of people.
2:41:38
Like even though you don't want to know about that shit, if
2:41:41
you're sitting there bored at night, you might want to fucking
2:41:43
know. That's a good way to like,
2:41:44
really fuck people with anxiety problems up.
2:41:47
Oh, it's me. It's bad.
2:41:48
And then you become obsessed with checking it probably.
2:41:50
And then you're just, you're screwed forever.
2:41:51
Yeah. It's like, oh, you wake up and
2:41:53
other people like, oh, like you got anxiety.
2:41:55
You're like I do everyday and they're like, why?
2:41:56
And you're like citizen app. Yeah, fucking me.
2:41:58
Well, I got. All these apps that tell me when
2:42:00
every single thing is happening around me and.
2:42:01
Then no one can put their phones down.
2:42:02
So it's just, you know. When, when that power, I'm
2:42:05
telling you I couldn't check, it wouldn't give me a reason for
2:42:10
the outage. It just kept saying
2:42:11
investigation. But then it gave me an ETA of
2:42:13
3:00 AM and it still said investigation.
2:42:15
Why were you freaking out so bad?
2:42:16
For some. Reason.
2:42:17
Just late at night, you were just diving in.
2:42:19
I had a weird feeling so I did end up going outside and then
2:42:22
the moment I went outside every hair on the back of my neck like
2:42:26
went straight up and I was like. Did you think someone was coming
2:42:29
after you? No, it's just like, I don't know
2:42:32
what's happening. Like someone's in the back, they
2:42:34
cut the power. Just like.
2:42:36
No, no, I think that I live really close to Bedminster and
2:42:41
Trump mentioned Bedminster the other week and I'm really
2:42:45
obsessed about it and I'm really fucking.
2:42:47
Pissed about it, he said. Apparently they're above
2:42:49
Bedminster. I don't want to.
2:42:51
Maybe. Maybe I won't go to Bedminster
2:42:52
this. Weekend I'm like.
2:42:54
Fuck I live mad close to Bedminster.
2:42:58
Yeah, fuck. Yeah, I don't know.
2:43:00
I think if the drone and then if you went outside and the drone
2:43:02
saw you. I was I.
2:43:05
Was waving at it. A big reason why I went outside
2:43:07
is because once the power went out, I, I feel like I heard at
2:43:11
least two to three planes like fly over.
2:43:13
And I was like, that's weird. Like all night, there's no
2:43:15
planes. And you're telling me right now
2:43:16
there's planes. Let me go outside.
2:43:17
Quan's like do not as your black friend go outside.
2:43:22
And I was like, well, that's why in the movie.
2:43:26
Yeah. You know, I got to go.
2:43:28
I need to go outside. I need to be the first to die.
2:43:30
Yeah, would you ever do a sensory deprivation tank?
2:43:33
No, I have a lot to add about this, Yeah.
2:43:36
Have you tried this? Tried.
2:43:38
I used to be a part of my weekly routine for.
2:43:40
A long, long. Time.
2:43:42
Big recommendation here. Shout out go to a sensory
2:43:44
deprivation tank, spend the hour and 15 minutes or it's an hour
2:43:47
and 30 that they'll typically give you for a time slot and go
2:43:50
into your mind a little bit and figure out in a natural way.
2:43:53
No, no, no trust me, trust me, trust me.
2:43:56
It's better than like you know, everyone has their different
2:43:59
ways. Some people like to get
2:44:00
something out. Acupuncture.
2:44:02
You're not going to freak out. You're.
2:44:03
Not can we explain actually you said people.
2:44:05
Alright, so you got the most experience?
2:44:07
Might freak out. You actually would because we
2:44:09
talked that you don't like darkness, but there's a few ways
2:44:12
that you can work around that. So a sensory deprivation tank is
2:44:15
basically, you know, designed to, I guess get rid of
2:44:19
distractions And you basically, you know, there's it's a pod
2:44:23
looking thing, you know, the night, like the ones that are
2:44:25
allowed all the places they look like a pod.
2:44:27
The door opens up and it opens up.
2:44:28
There's basically just water that's the same temperature as
2:44:30
your body. So it's not too hot, not too
2:44:32
cold. It's got a lot of salt in it.
2:44:34
So you float. Then when mixed floating with
2:44:37
you are in pitch black darkness. You wear earplugs and there's
2:44:41
also no sound in the room. So it's just super quiet and
2:44:43
peaceful. So you have no distractions.
2:44:45
Oh my God, this is Carlsberg. The longest I've sat, I've sat
2:44:50
in, I've sat in one for four hours.
2:44:51
I did a serious so I used to like and I still do it now but.
2:44:55
Fall asleep. On my own bro.
2:44:57
Yeah, so at a point, so when you first go in, you'll be freaking
2:45:00
out normal. But if you keep it a part of
2:45:02
your routine, like after you go a couple times, you'll start to
2:45:04
relax quicker and you'll start to kind of get into flow.
2:45:06
But basically. Oh my God.
2:45:08
I would say, you know, I dive into YouTube a lot of different
2:45:11
shit on YouTube. I like looking at interesting
2:45:13
stuff. And years ago, Vice put out a
2:45:15
thing for forever ago on sensory deprivation tanks, and I
2:45:17
decided, you know what? I'm fucking curious.
2:45:19
I'm gonna go watch this out. I like Vice.
2:45:21
I'm gonna go check. That and I and I, you know, I
2:45:23
watched it. I first saw the video on Vice.
2:45:24
The guy's in like some sketchy looking pot.
2:45:26
It looks like a little like, you know, like really like, all
2:45:29
right, you're in it. But he sat in a tank for like 12
2:45:31
plus hours trying to figure it out.
2:45:34
So at the end of the day, but like, I would go in there.
2:45:36
If I had a lot on my mind, I would go in there and I'd work
2:45:38
it through and then I'd come out and I'd feel refreshed.
2:45:40
It was better than like a massage for me at the end of the
2:45:42
day. Do you know the Saw movies?
2:45:44
Yeah. You know the premise, like, you
2:45:46
know they he does like the worst thing or like something like,
2:45:50
yeah. Yeah, like he does something
2:45:51
bad. So he they put him in a in like
2:45:53
a sketchy situation, Jake. Saul would put him in a sensory
2:45:56
deprivation tank. And contrapt.
2:45:58
And honestly, you may not even. Have to stay still for four
2:46:00
hours or you will die last. Nightmare I can't even the other
2:46:03
night like I don't know it's like freaking me out.
2:46:05
Maybe I have to like stop smoking weed, but then I smoke
2:46:08
weed and I. Feel, and it feels better.
2:46:09
And I'm like like, which one is it I think.
2:46:12
I'm trying to. Be healthy.
2:46:13
I recommend sensory deprivation tank for anybody out there that
2:46:16
just is down to just like in life today.
2:46:19
It's so difficult to avoid distraction in anything like,
2:46:22
you know, like. It's like hardcore meditation.
2:46:24
Yeah, it's, yeah, it's it's, I would say to it's.
2:46:26
And it and it's. Fear of being in the dark for me
2:46:28
when we're. Talking about it right now, but
2:46:30
not but, so here's all right. So, but not it's not even really
2:46:33
you could. Feel you could put the light you
2:46:34
could put the light on in the pod, there's a button you could
2:46:36
put the light on yeah, but it's. Not blue light.
2:46:37
You could put the night light on.
2:46:38
Yeah, you could. Put it on No.
2:46:39
But but here's. Tough it out, I need to.
2:46:41
I need to elaborate because at the same time that there I am
2:46:45
afraid of the dark a little bit in that aspect, I guess I was
2:46:50
alone in the dark and there's a fucking raccoon in the a fat
2:46:52
raccoon in the garbage can and I'll since I know I need to go
2:46:56
scared away. You'd freak out.
2:46:58
No, he gets the job done. I.
2:46:59
I run over and I kick the shit out of the can and I'm like,
2:47:03
yeah. And I get out of here.
2:47:04
Hey bear, get out of here. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
2:47:06
raccoon, hey, raccoon, get out of here, get out of here.
2:47:08
Like, And then that, that's fine.
2:47:10
But then if I stand there and I just let my thoughts get to me,
2:47:13
I picture 1 shadowy figure at a distance and I'm going to be.
2:47:17
Like why do you think that is? Fuck.
2:47:19
But I don't know, I'll just. Try, yeah, that's something, but
2:47:21
just, but just know when you're in the tank, like, I don't know,
2:47:24
a lot of towns in New Jersey are pretty safe right now and
2:47:26
nothing really goes on. The last thing someone's going
2:47:28
to do is go into a sensory deprivation place and be like,
2:47:30
I'm going to fuck this place up that.
2:47:31
Would be a good idea though it. Would be easy targets.
2:47:34
Yeah, fuck. Basically like a trance like
2:47:36
sleeping state in there. Like, yeah, it's pretty cool
2:47:38
though. I would say hairy dryer.
2:47:40
I would say, though, you're dead.
2:47:41
It's probably the best natural high you can get.
2:47:42
Oh. God.
2:47:44
Maybe I should? Do it.
2:47:45
I recommend. Seriously, I'd be scared.
2:47:47
I'd go yeah, if you don't, if you, you know, if you need like
2:47:49
if you like support support, but I would like obviously we'll go
2:47:52
to, you know, you're going to your, you're going to your
2:47:54
separate tank in your separate room.
2:47:55
But like, you know, it's not a bad like way to because like,
2:47:58
you know, it's, it's a sick car. I'll go in the tank.
2:48:00
You know what I want, you know, You know what I feel like I.
2:48:02
Need that is the. Is the mud one?
2:48:04
Because then I feel compression on all my shit and I can't move.
2:48:08
I'm like ah. You want compression on your
2:48:11
shit? Yeah.
2:48:12
Compress on my shit. Nah, but like, you know what I
2:48:16
mean? Like a weighted blanket,
2:48:18
there's. One.
2:48:18
All right, let's see if this scares.
2:48:20
You like weighted blankets? Yeah.
2:48:21
Does how do you feel about like tight spaces?
2:48:25
I mean, is it dark? Yeah.
2:48:28
Yeah, I'm freaking out. Not not too dark like you have a
2:48:31
light, you have lights like all right, like so all right, I'm
2:48:33
gonna. But we need to get out.
2:48:35
All right, so I was watching. I watched random shit on YouTube
2:48:37
when I'm high. I love, I love it.
2:48:39
It's a great time. Yeah.
2:48:40
Yeah, found a video of these. They were basically, you know, a
2:48:45
group of like adventurer guys that had a plan where they were.
2:48:48
There's a cave that apparently is the deepest cave in the
2:48:51
world, but it's never been fully explored.
2:48:53
It's been to a certain point. I've seen this movie The
2:48:55
Descent. So the Descent, but this is a
2:48:58
YouTube video that's actual based on true story and yeah,
2:49:01
yeah. And like, I don't know, man, you
2:49:02
see the squeezes these guys do and oh, that shit's.
2:49:04
Fucking. And I'm just like, I'm done,
2:49:06
man. I'm I couldn't even get down the
2:49:07
front. But I remember when I was
2:49:09
younger, like when I was a kid, you would do it.
2:49:11
I would do that shit. No, but that's but.
2:49:12
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's another level.
2:49:14
It is another level but but I don't like squeezes like that.
2:49:17
Actually, when I look at that shit I freak out for the fucking
2:49:20
guy. Like.
2:49:21
All I think about is the rock moving and to decide that day
2:49:25
it's going to move one. Inch or what if it what if it
2:49:27
moves just a little bit that you're stuck?
2:49:29
Yeah, that you're getting. And I've seen that movie, too.
2:49:32
It's the getting stuck for me, see?
2:49:34
Yeah, and like I so. And now people visit that.
2:49:37
There's a little difference. I feel like we.
2:49:38
Went to that. Place where the guy goes on cut
2:49:40
off. That's a difference in like
2:49:41
phobia, but nonetheless a phobia because was like, I wouldn't say
2:49:45
I'm like claustrophobic. I had dated somebody who was
2:49:48
claustrophobic and we watched this movie called The Catacombs
2:49:51
and there was a. Scene in that movie.
2:49:53
Where? Look, I didn't know there was a
2:49:57
scene in that movie. Where they're like squeezing
2:49:59
through like some bones and it gets thinner and thinner and.
2:50:02
Thin. Oh, you saw them.
2:50:04
That was a good movie. Yeah.
2:50:05
In France, yeah. Yeah, so I'm watching it and
2:50:09
it's getting thinner and thinner and I'm scared because it's a.
2:50:11
Scary Movie. That's the name.
2:50:13
Yes, yes, that actually is. It's a good movie, but it I'm
2:50:17
getting afraid because it's a scary movie.
2:50:19
But like my ex was getting afraid because she was getting
2:50:23
claustrophobic just just watching it and she had to like
2:50:26
get up and leave. And I was like.
2:50:29
Pussy. I mean like I've known people
2:50:30
that are scared of Pickles. No, I didn't say pussy, but like
2:50:34
I it was I. Got a buddy that scared of cream
2:50:35
cheese. I just fuck with him every time
2:50:37
we're at a bagel spot. I'm just like, dude, like jumps
2:50:40
out of the place. He's like bread around.
2:50:42
Like dude, it's just fucking cream cheese.
2:50:43
I'm sorry. It wasn't Pickles.
2:50:44
It was bananas. Bananas.
2:50:45
Yeah. If you put bananas anywhere near
2:50:47
him, he'll throw up. He'll run away.
2:50:48
He'll. It was the funniest.
2:50:49
Thing I had to it was weird cream cheese.
2:50:51
Way more funny cream cheese. Phobia like that to somebody who
2:50:55
was feeling that. The best thing is we never knew.
2:50:56
The best thing is when you get him a bagel, you don't put a
2:50:59
butter on it, you put cream cheese on it.
2:51:01
But. You tell them only put a little
2:51:02
amount of cream cheese on it. So it's the most psychic butter
2:51:05
I've tried. He always catches it.
2:51:06
He always catches. It that's like so he like opens
2:51:08
it and checks. He just knows, basically.
2:51:10
I think like he smells it right away and he's done.
2:51:12
That's immediately. The first thing I'm doing is
2:51:14
like fucking with you if you're telling me if it's a non.
2:51:16
Lethal if it's not. You're not allergic, you got no
2:51:19
problem. Yeah, like that's not like me
2:51:21
saying like, oh, Lewis, I'm going to here, here are these,
2:51:24
here are these. Fish oil free.
2:51:29
Fries. And then one fry has fish oil in
2:51:33
it. And he's that's it.
2:51:33
He's done. But like, on the On the
2:51:35
contrary, that same, that same girl, when she told me she hated
2:51:39
spicy stuff, I dropped one spicy Dorito and I would give a bag of
2:51:43
Doritos. And I sat there patiently.
2:51:46
I was like, Oh yeah, I'm going to wait.
2:51:49
I'm going to wait. You're.
2:51:50
Fucking. Sick.
2:51:51
And then eventually it hit, it hit and it was like, it was like
2:51:54
A and I'm like. You are sick and twisted.
2:52:02
That's kind of fucked up. OK, Carl can't be trusted, but
2:52:07
yeah. Don't have a peanut allergy
2:52:09
around me? You might not.
2:52:12
Damn man, this podcast has been. Amazing.
2:52:14
Is there any more questions you? Need to stop.
2:52:15
There were a couple because I I wanted to hit some of these
2:52:20
favorite wheel. Holy Grail wheel.
2:52:24
I guess I'm talking about wheel on a car, not a steering wheel
2:52:27
or something. Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty
2:52:29
good one. I've rent a lot of wheels over
2:52:31
the years. Those were tech arts on those.
2:52:33
You were. You were in the stands.
2:52:34
Community so I was in the stands community wheels still are like
2:52:37
the biggest piece. But now I'm a huge.
2:52:38
I used to be all about mesh wheels back in the day.
2:52:40
Used to love like BBSRS, twos, LMS back in the day, any of
2:52:43
those, anything that. But now I'm a 5 spoke guy, like
2:52:46
die hard 5 spoke. I won't own a mesh wheel period.
2:52:48
No way. That's very easy, so I would
2:52:50
I'm. Saying in the ass to clean for.
2:52:52
Mesh, Yeah, yeah. So I would say they're on my
2:52:56
target. They're the HRE 520 fives.
2:52:59
They're that one might go up that one.
2:53:01
Yeah. So those are probably my
2:53:03
favorite. That's a target top.
2:53:04
That's a target top. Yeah, that's cool.
2:53:06
Look at the back. Look at that.
2:53:07
Keep going. Keep going.
2:53:08
Yeah, there we go. Wait, so like what does it come
2:53:10
off? How does this work?
2:53:11
The So the roof, the center of it, slides back like a just some
2:53:14
glorified sunroof, but it's all glass.
2:53:16
Big as hell, big roof that shit is.
2:53:19
Fucking almost. But yeah, these wheels, probably
2:53:21
my favorite really like, I don't know, I feel like 5 spokes have
2:53:23
very minor details as what makes some kind of special and
2:53:26
different. You know, if you look on the
2:53:28
surface, a lot of times 5 spokes all look the same.
2:53:30
But these are just like a very simple like style to them.
2:53:34
They don't need a wild finish. They typically everyone that
2:53:36
runs them, if you have them, you run them just in silver.
2:53:39
But I like them too because these wheels, you could, you
2:53:41
could do silent lips. So it's pretty nice.
2:53:44
Cool car man Target top. Wait, hold on.
2:53:46
Stay right there. That that door into the Fender.
2:53:53
The top. No, the color it's different.
2:53:56
No so the. It's unless it's a lot of blue
2:53:59
hue to it. Oh, is there so?
2:54:01
Depending upon the way the lighting hits, it's going to be
2:54:02
blue. That almost looks different but
2:54:08
then I saw the PPF so I was like oh OK.
2:54:09
No, there's no PPF on this car. What about just a back quarter
2:54:12
on the back? Door just.
2:54:12
Like the factory, like little strut.
2:54:14
Like I don't like I have a hit or miss thing with PPF.
2:54:18
I'm like, I don't know if I really liked.
2:54:19
So I got AI, got one car with full PPF on it.
2:54:22
It's cool if you do the whole thing.
2:54:23
A lot of effort though. I can only imagine Jesus.
2:54:26
I'm about naked cars though yeah I like I like seeing some rash
2:54:29
seeing some use yeah this car is you know no perfect car, but
2:54:34
this car was bought from a a buddy of mine that ascended up
2:54:36
his friend was selling it it was sitting in front of his house
2:54:38
for like 3 years those stumbled upon this car we.
2:54:40
Are a looker for. Yeah, they're, they're just like
2:54:42
the pair. Yeah, the backs.
2:54:43
And like, you know, it's like slant lips.
2:54:45
As you get like a little bit more lip on it, you start to see
2:54:47
the little difference. So like, I like slant lips.
2:54:50
And they kind of look old schooly, which I.
2:54:52
Think yeah, they look like they like to me it's like almost like
2:54:54
the car could have left the factory this way and it all
2:54:56
would have been OK yeah, maybe not as low and like a different.
2:54:58
Cap you wouldn't have. Even.
2:55:00
Yeah, yeah. I feel like if the aliens came
2:55:03
down from the UFOs or drones they would like 9 elevens.
2:55:07
They'd be like, yo, that's all right.
2:55:09
Dude, they might already be behind the wheel of some of
2:55:11
them, who knows. Yeah, well, I was looking at the
2:55:13
back of this car and I was like, that's.
2:55:14
What they're doing, they're hunting with the drones.
2:55:16
Brad, looking back at this car, doesn't look so weird.
2:55:20
It's the targa we end up and then.
2:55:22
We and we cut and we like took off like they have like a third
2:55:24
brake light like basket handle. They call it off the back.
2:55:28
We deleted it and like shaved it.
2:55:29
And so with the, with the Targa roof, it's a lower roof line
2:55:32
than a coupe. So it kind of it kind of fucks
2:55:34
with your eyes a little bit. So it gives it like a more like
2:55:36
a much different look. Yeah, it's cool.
2:55:39
But again, it's all about details.
2:55:40
Like this car is like, you know, parts from different cars.
2:55:42
It has a turbo front bumper. You'd never notice but like it's
2:55:44
got little shit. All right, I got one more
2:55:46
question that's not really family friendly.
2:55:49
If you had to do a line of coke off a stripper's ass, What Car
2:55:53
would you do it in? Points for style.
2:55:56
I stay away from hard drugs. Yeah.
2:55:59
But if I. But.
2:56:00
But if I had the drinks a cup of tea with her, What Car are we
2:56:05
doing that in? I got the car in mind.
2:56:08
Go for it. No, you got to go first because
2:56:11
this is going to marinate. LS400 Ultra Luxury So the tea is
2:56:15
cold, it's iced, and it comes out of the back center console
2:56:19
while my legs are up in the air getting massaged.
2:56:22
Oh, because they do have massage chairs.
2:56:24
Ultra Lux, My roommate put me onto those.
2:56:28
Like literally $6000 and you're telling me you could have that?
2:56:31
Fantastic. That's actually pretty good.
2:56:33
I I'm the I don't know if I could beat that trying to be
2:56:35
reasonable. You could say G wagon G you
2:56:38
could. Maybe not the Pooch 1.
2:56:40
Not the pooch, maybe the one I got coming though.
2:56:42
Yeah. I feel like Carl should have won
2:56:44
last. Nah, that was crazy.
2:56:46
You were prepared for. That he was.
2:56:48
He's been thinking about it. It's like kicked out back there.
2:56:51
I looked at 1:00 today. Not an ultra low.
2:56:53
I don't know What Car like you gotta pick like a there's a
2:56:57
certain car for this kind of question.
2:56:59
I mean honest, I I know what I would actually I got what I
2:57:01
would do. I think I'm going to be in a
2:57:03
Ferrari like if, whatever. The fuck yeah.
2:57:05
See, I would say some old Mercedes, like 560 SEC.
2:57:09
OK. That's like the coupe with the
2:57:10
no. It has to be European, that's
2:57:12
all. It's got an V. 12.
2:57:13
It's the one that's got no pillar between the glass,
2:57:15
between the between the and. It's the coupe.
2:57:17
They're cool. Is that the V12 they had AV12V8
2:57:22
SL 5 or? SSL 600 that was AV 12.
2:57:27
I think that's the one that I'm talking about.
2:57:29
I don't know. I think some like, I think some,
2:57:30
I think some like big body coupe.
2:57:33
That's what I think about. And then if we're going, you
2:57:34
know, we got to stay with the with the European vibes.
2:57:37
We got to stay with Mercedes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:57:38
But gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Well, guys, that completes the
2:57:41
questions. This is fun.
2:57:44
This is a great podcast. Yeah, No, I appreciate you guys.
2:57:46
This is the first one I've ever done, but you know.
2:57:48
Well, you're, you're a natural. I told you, yeah, we was outside
2:57:51
and he was like, I've, I've never done a podcast before and
2:57:53
I'm like, we literally just did a.
2:57:54
Podcast This is not going to be the last podcast we do.
2:57:56
No, this is. Great, Yeah, yeah.
2:57:58
And we do Patreon podcasts and stuff too sometimes.
2:58:00
So and you're so close that we're just going to, you're just
2:58:02
going to be on the list you want.
2:58:03
To pull up. No, I mean we.
2:58:05
Don't just go. Over there we got to do.
2:58:06
That well, you got to do that, but it's cool talking and this
2:58:08
you set this room up sweet. And you know, look like I have
2:58:11
to say, like, you know, I would say real quick before we close
2:58:15
out here, like coming up in the New Jersey car world and like,
2:58:19
you know, a lot of people doing it like they do it as a hobby
2:58:21
based level. They don't normally we'll take
2:58:24
the risk to step up to say, fuck it, let's see what I can make
2:58:26
out of this. And you're making it with a team
2:58:28
of people. You got good people with you
2:58:30
that I'm pretty sure you consider family, close, close
2:58:32
friends and that shit. Like that's what life is about.
2:58:35
You know, I used to have a job that I worked more of a nine to
2:58:38
five. I didn't really have a, you
2:58:39
know, I didn't have a warehouse. I just basically had to go to a
2:58:41
desk every day. If you can make your life work
2:58:45
not doing that route and doing what you love passion wise,
2:58:47
especially in your situation when you have your friends
2:58:49
around you doing it, there's nothing fucking better than
2:58:50
that. So coming in here, you know,
2:58:52
initially just pulling up and seeing the spot and like seeing
2:58:54
what you know, 'cause you explained to me the phases
2:58:56
started with what you're growing to now.
2:58:58
This is real good shit. This is the shit that like it's
2:59:02
not, you know, sure, different, I would say different states,
2:59:06
like we have our pockets of friends that are doing similar
2:59:08
shit. But over here it's cool because
2:59:10
like seeing you over here and then knowing I'm down the road
2:59:12
and it's a night, it feels like, you know, obviously we're not
2:59:15
family, we're not super close. We're getting closer again after
2:59:17
a long period of time, but. Technically, we grew up together
2:59:19
in the car scene. Yeah, and for me, it's, it's
2:59:21
cool seeing other people chase their dreams and their passions
2:59:24
and, and finding a way to make it work because this is the
2:59:26
shit. This is real life shit.
2:59:27
Like this is not, you know, like, yeah, you could go take
2:59:29
the 9:00 to 5:00, but we're taking the risk here and fully
2:59:31
on our own. And it's, you know, it's a fun
2:59:33
time to see and it, it gives me the confidence too, because I
2:59:35
just started out with getting my warehouse space in the last
2:59:37
couple months. And you know, it's it's cool to
2:59:39
see other people doing it and like you feel like me.
2:59:41
And when you go home, if you have a shit day, think about the
2:59:43
other people. Do you feel like you're not
2:59:44
alone in this shit? Yeah, and it's cool.
2:59:46
And you're like, well, if he can do it, then we can.
2:59:48
We can do this. We can make this happen.
2:59:50
With it, you know, and there's no, and there's no perfect
2:59:52
fucking recipe. Yeah, at all.
2:59:54
But you have to. But what I learned is if you
2:59:56
want to do the shit, you got to try.
2:59:58
You got to push it. You got to push the envelope.
3:00:00
If it's going to, you know, break the bank a little bit to
3:00:01
get started. Sometimes you may not be able to
3:00:03
make rent work. You got to fucking try.
3:00:05
Because if you try, you're not going to fail it.
3:00:07
You're not. But if you just sit back and
3:00:09
continue to sit at your desk and be like, I'm going to do this,
3:00:11
you're never going to fucking do.
3:00:11
It I agree with that. That's what I always tell
3:00:13
everyone when they say, oh, what is your advice?
3:00:15
I just go, start, just go. Do it.
3:00:17
Yeah. Like, I mean, I was doing the
3:00:18
car shit out of my garage and out of my friend's house, just
3:00:20
keeping cars there. That's a hobby level.
3:00:22
You got a space, even if it's not a beautiful space, because
3:00:25
it would be. Two parking I agree with.
3:00:26
That, you know, but if you have a desk somewhere in an office
3:00:28
environment that's pulling you out of your typical comfort
3:00:30
zone, that's when you start living and breathing it.
3:00:33
And that's when your mind starts really thinking in the most
3:00:35
positive ways to really spearhead your, you know, to
3:00:37
spearhead your life. I always tell people like
3:00:39
because for some reason, everyone who always asks that
3:00:41
question, they always have this thing where they're like
3:00:43
stopping themselves. Yeah, because I stopped myself
3:00:45
for a while. It's not perfect, you know, It's
3:00:47
not what? You want 100% and I will admit.
3:00:50
That I had a little bit of that I didn't.
3:00:52
I didn't stop myself from selling parts and doing all that
3:00:54
and like the Instagram stuff and doing all that.
3:00:56
But I stopped myself from like working on cars or anything
3:00:58
until I really had a space because I didn't, it didn't feel
3:01:01
right being like, oh, come to my parents garage, you know, I
3:01:04
didn't want to do that. So I did.
3:01:06
I did like, I guess kind of didn't take my own advice on
3:01:09
that part, but but once you find that spot where you can do
3:01:13
stuff. You and I are like very like
3:01:14
minded and like I would say like you saw the vision of this space
3:01:17
and like you knew what you could turn it into with, you know,
3:01:19
with with, with the right, you know, with like the right
3:01:22
thought process, the right team. You figured out a way like
3:01:24
Myspace. I got I got pretty lucky.
3:01:26
The space was beautiful when I found it, it was just.
3:01:28
It's nice. I waited.
3:01:28
Three plus years to find something you know.
3:01:31
Dude, I, I told. You and I worked and I work in
3:01:33
real estate. I could find that shit for
3:01:34
clients all the time. But when it came from my own
3:01:36
self, yeah, I was, you know, the most difficult critic.
3:01:39
And how long as you look? I, I looked like here and there
3:01:42
over like the last three years looking for something.
3:01:44
Initially I was going to do a much larger platform.
3:01:47
I was going to take like a 30,000 square foot building to a
3:01:49
massive storage concept. I had a partner on the space and
3:01:51
we were going to do shit and was going to be sick.
3:01:53
And I still have aspirations and goals to get there because I
3:01:56
don't really like the delivery of what the storage places
3:01:58
around are starting to do. But I decided at a point, if I'm
3:02:02
looking for the perfect fit, I'm never going to find it.
3:02:04
So I said, you know what? A small space works.
3:02:06
Yeah, I could start selling some cars.
3:02:08
I actually. Like your space?
3:02:09
Too. No.
3:02:09
I like the space and I have my office set up there.
3:02:11
I'm there all the time. It's a nice change of pace for
3:02:14
me from what I used to do. Yeah, and me and Justin were
3:02:17
looking for a shop for five years.
3:02:18
Yeah. So yeah, it does.
3:02:20
And we obviously were looking for something we wanted, but we
3:02:25
were getting pretty desperate. Yeah, at a point, No, at a point
3:02:28
you have to sacrifice a bunch like.
3:02:30
And we got real lucky with us. Not lucky.
3:02:32
It was in luck. We fucking worked our asses off
3:02:35
and found the spot. But it took a long time.
3:02:37
No. And the second I came here and
3:02:38
walked in, I was like, I would have saw the potential in this
3:02:41
place right away. Yeah.
3:02:42
And then when this whole opportunity came, it was like,
3:02:45
that was the only really, really scary moment where we're like,
3:02:47
Oh, yeah, I guess we're going to do.
3:02:48
This no, but you got but you have to like at the end of the
3:02:50
day, you got to trust your gut because this is shit.
3:02:53
I know you're I know you're no different.
3:02:54
You think about shit a lot before you deliver on it.
3:02:57
Now you're probably quicker at it because you're just more
3:02:59
comfortable, but taking this leap, you were thinking about
3:03:02
the right vision for it. Yeah, Malcolm could tell you it
3:03:04
was about six months, dude. Yeah, every day in the office.
3:03:07
Every time we was having a pod, I'd be outside.
3:03:10
I'd be like, yo, are you gonna do this leap or what?
3:03:12
Yeah, yeah, but you were to go back to your original thing.
3:03:16
Yes, it definitely is because of the team of people we have going
3:03:19
on here. Yeah.
3:03:20
And without Carl, this podcast wouldn't exist.
3:03:22
So he's a massive. He invested into it for sure.
3:03:26
I'm an idea guy. Yeah, yeah, Carl without Carl
3:03:29
podcast doesn't exist. This room, it isn't here.
3:03:31
We might not even. I don't know what the fuck this
3:03:33
room would have been. It probably would have been a
3:03:35
lunch room. Some boring shit it.
3:03:38
Would have been better. I think you would have split the
3:03:41
wall down and you would have. Made it.
3:03:42
Yeah, that would have been yeah, that.
3:03:44
Would have been a bigger office and then that way Malcolm hasn't
3:03:46
had to look. Like, dude, everything,
3:03:47
everything. Like, yeah, Malcolm would love
3:03:49
that, Yeah. Look at him, look at him, look
3:03:50
at him. He's so happy, he's so happy.
3:03:51
He's. Like, but yeah, man, I
3:03:52
appreciate the kind of words. It's really.
3:03:53
Awesome. Yeah.
3:03:54
No, no, this is awesome. And I'm really stoked for you,
3:03:56
yeah. Appreciate it.
3:03:57
Thank you so much, dude. You got anything else you wanna
3:04:00
end off? That was kind of fucking.
3:04:02
This was like 1. Not like that was a really solid
3:04:04
end, solid end right there. It kind of went full circle back
3:04:07
to like kind of how this place, you know, how it started, how it
3:04:09
came back to connecting with you after a bunch of years, you
3:04:11
know, like that's. I'm glad it all worked out man
3:04:13
this is great. And even from like the
3:04:15
sidelines, I was watching, you know, faction videos and kind of
3:04:18
seeing what goes on and like, everything, you know, just like,
3:04:21
yeah, no, but it's funny. Like there's some people that
3:04:23
came on the podcast that I know, like Derek was on here.
3:04:25
I know Derek from Mycozial fucking years and years ago.
3:04:28
Great, dude. We like to bring everyone.
3:04:31
Yeah, just like everybody. Who's just been around the area
3:04:33
like this is the. People that have the podcast
3:04:36
like, yeah, no, I love it. Yeah.
3:04:38
And I like bringing on shop owners and stuff.
3:04:39
We still got to have Dimitri on. And like other people like we,
3:04:42
yeah, we got to bring more shop owners on.
3:04:44
I know that for sure. But yeah, thanks again.
3:04:48
Where should people contact you if they want one of?
3:04:50
Yours, so the best way, you know, I have a business name.
3:04:52
I have all that. It's kind of more so people know
3:04:54
me for Goldstein. So the best way if you want to
3:04:56
reach me, reach out to me on Instagram, Goldstein a nine.
3:04:59
That's the best way to get in touch with me.
3:05:01
You know, if you're looking for something special, I can help
3:05:03
you out. If you're just looking to shoot
3:05:04
the shit, I like shooting the shit too, and not everything is
3:05:07
always about making the dollar. It's also about just, you know,
3:05:09
giving people some positive feedback and energy.
3:05:12
I'm and you know, I'm always there to help kind of push
3:05:14
people through the confidence line of going to buy something
3:05:16
wild or do something rowdy. I typically like to push and
3:05:18
kind of help out because sometimes you need a little bit
3:05:20
of a push to make the jump and then you know, but I see the
3:05:23
envision so I try to help people out.
3:05:24
So if you're not looking for a car and you're just looking to
3:05:26
chat, hit me up. And if you all trying to go to a
3:05:28
sensory deprivation tank, hit us up.
3:05:31
Yeah, we're doing that. We're all doing that now.

So, all right, peace. Peace later.
3:06:03
Dude. Porsche.
3:06:51
OK. You know, I met Magnus Walker
3:06:54
one time, and that's what he would say whenever he'd take a
3:06:57
picture. Hey, can I take a picture with
3:06:58
you? Yeah, sure.
3:06:59
Say Cheese Porsche. Wait, you actually met him?
3:07:02
Yeah, that Bear Mountain. What the fuck?
3:07:04
When? 2018 maybe?
3:07:11
Yeah, at the yeah. It was like a parking lot.
3:07:15
Yeah. And there's a whole bunch.
3:07:16
Of cars there. Oh, OK.
3:07:18
The bottom. Yeah.
3:07:19
Yeah. I think maybe Carl met him once
3:07:21
too. No, he would have.
3:07:22
It wasn't at the bottom though. It was like Midway.
3:07:25
Probably at the top of the tower now.
3:07:27
Maybe. Yeah, I think I've heard of him
3:07:29
going up there before. Porsche.
3:07:32
Porsche all. Right guys?
3:07:33
Well, I hope you enjoyed that one.
3:07:34
It was one of my favorite ones for sure.
3:07:37
Yeah, a lot of Porsche talk, but it was very enjoyable.
3:07:40
Very informative. I learned a lot.
3:07:42
Alex knows a lot about those cars, so that was really cool to
3:07:46
learn everything about that car. I'm going to.
3:07:48
I already told my dad to listen to that one, so hopefully he
3:07:50
does if he can figure out how to, you know, find a podcast.
3:07:54
To be honest, European car culture is just as cool as
3:07:58
Japanese car culture in like, different respects, you know?
3:08:02
Yeah, It's like kind of totally different.
3:08:04
I feel like I don't know anything when he's talking about
3:08:07
stuff. I'm like, I really don't know
3:08:08
anything about any of this. But you guys got a lot of
3:08:11
interior options. That's all I know.
3:08:13
Like Japanese cars, you just, you got one.
3:08:15
Yeah. And then in the 90s you would.
3:08:18
You've got brown maybe, and black.
3:08:19
Maybe we'll throw leather in it. Yeah, maybe you get blue once
3:08:22
and it's going to look like shit in five years like that.
3:08:24
That was the Japanese. Yeah, European is like we'll put
3:08:27
the M rain on the. This one has goat skin.
3:08:34
This one is the scrotum of a goat.
3:08:36
Like, yeah, it's just crazy shit.
3:08:37
This is Queen Elizabeth's. This is Queen Elizabeth's pet.
3:08:45
We call this the Royal Interior. Yeah, yeah, anyway.
3:08:49
That was a bit rude, but moving on.
3:08:53
Moving on guys, we got a Patreon.
3:08:56
If you don't know about the Patreon by now, you must be a
3:08:58
new listener. We have two tiers.
3:09:01
Well we have 3 tiers. The first tier is the $5 tier
3:09:05
gets you access to pretty much everything.
3:09:07
The next tier is the you're feeling a little generous tier,
3:09:09
it's a $10 tier and you get everything again.
3:09:12
And then the $15 tier is the one where you get the merch bundle.
3:09:15
Anytime you release a new product, merch specifically like
3:09:19
clothing, you'll be getting a bundle.
3:09:22
Usually comes with the most, most not the newest T-shirt,
3:09:29
sorry. Yeah.
3:09:30
And like a sticker that'll come along with it usually.
3:09:33
Yeah, I tried to throw a decent amount of stuff in there, but
3:09:35
obviously I can't be giving away, you know, jackets and
3:09:37
hoodies. But yeah, we try to try to make
3:09:39
it worthwhile. Yeah, we we try to make our
3:09:42
T-shirts very nice, so it's worth it, you know?
3:09:45
Yeah, what else we got going on? Well we got our new sweatshirts
3:09:51
in the Embraced Temptation sweatshirt, so me and Eddie
3:09:54
started shipping those out today.
3:09:57
So those people who bought the Devil Worshipper bundle, as
3:10:00
Frankie called it. Why you got to say that?
3:10:02
They will be getting their bundle very shortly and if you
3:10:06
just ordered the hoodie you will obviously be getting it soon
3:10:09
also. Dude, devil worshipper bundle
3:10:10
was the best name. You have the cricket bucket
3:10:13
button on there. Eddie, don't you agree?
3:10:16
Devil worshipper package? Yeah, it's a bit harsh.
3:10:19
What do you mean? That's what it is.
3:10:20
There's a devil on it. Yeah.
3:10:22
OK, Live a little. All right, all right.
3:10:24
What else is new? It is we are offering free
3:10:28
shipping on orders $350.00 and up for the rest of the month.
3:10:35
So give you a little holiday incentive.
3:10:37
Free shipping over $350.00. Awesome.
3:10:40
And we have some new products. What do you got?
3:10:46
As I look to you to tell me what you put on the website, well, I
3:10:49
don't know. Well, Origin Lab, as you know,
3:10:53
they discontinued the aggressive line body kit, but they replaced
3:10:58
it with the drift line body kit. And a few months ago, about six
3:11:03
months ago, they released it for the Cokie S14, but recently they
3:11:07
also released it for the Zenki S14.
3:11:10
So if you like the drift line look and you have a Zenki S14,
3:11:13
go give it a look we. Also got one for Chaser 100.
3:11:18
Yes, and they also released it for JZX 100 Mark 2, so there's a
3:11:24
drift line kit for that also. Damn, which ones do we have here
3:11:28
though? We only.
3:11:28
Have we only have the chaser 1 here?
3:11:30
Chaser. But guys, a bunch of parts just
3:11:32
landed, so shoot us an e-mail if you want anything, if you're
3:11:36
looking for anything specific and we will make sure it's here.
3:11:39
And for all new orders, you're going to be looking at like 4 to
3:11:42
six months if it's not in stock right now, so.
3:11:44
Yeah, and also Origin released a new version of the FRS trunk
3:11:50
wing. It is the FRS Type 2 trunk wing.
3:11:55
The Type 1 was more of like a duck bill look.
3:11:58
So they made this one. It's a bit flatter, almost like
3:12:02
a like a new age drag wing almost so you could say, but it
3:12:06
looks cool. I like it is.
3:12:07
That like the one they made for S14.
3:12:08
It's like goes it's flat. Yeah.
3:12:11
Like go straight back. OK.
3:12:13
No, really. I got to check that.
3:12:15
Out to it. And another reminder, as always,
3:12:18
we ship parts direct from Japan. So if you guys are looking for
3:12:20
wings or fenders that aren't in stock in the States and you
3:12:23
don't want to wait four months, you can just hit that ship from
3:12:25
Japan option and you will. You'll have them shipped
3:12:29
directly to you from Japan. Yeah.
3:12:32

3:13:14
final Belt podcast of the series.
3:13:18
Yeah, decided to give ourselves a break and release that, but
3:13:20
it's a, I would say what, top three episode.
3:13:26
Oh yeah, it's definitely a great episode.
3:13:27
Yeah, it was Carl. The reason we want to do this
3:13:30
