I feel like half the people in here are those weirdos that hover 10 feet away from you at events and never say a word, then they get home and post about it.

Except max, max is cool.

...as opposed to...? Telling him he fucking sucks and giving him more video content?

And then when it's finally time to hear the exhaust they play music that sounds like distorted white noise with rhythmic squeaking and some shrunken woman singing. I should have taken a clue when the thumbnail of the video consisted of the dude pointing to his car with his hand over his mouth..I can usually tolerate about 2 minutes of this fuckery before I leave confused and angry. Get your shit together people.

This is so spot on it hurts. I understand the YT algorithm but I also just want to get to the fucking point...especially in videos you're watching when trying to troubleshoot.

I think I've gone to that extra step of blocking his content from my accounts.

As with most things in life, if you do something purely for money it just ends up sucking. Put the fucking thing on and then talk about it. I'd much rather listen to specs on the exhaust, fitment, loudness in db, you know-useful information and not filler. And if you decide to use a potato to record the exhaust sound you should be exiled from this country.

I am so glad I'm not the only one asking people to post up POV driving/racing videos with no music, no passengers screaming, and no talking.

I find race media on youtube very helpful at work. Long videos, just cars with in cabin footage, non stop engine noise to tune out annoying coworkers, and beautiful sounding engines.

Here's a few

is this more along the lines of what you guys would want out of a "car video" in terms of a product? like actual footage and explanations about whats actually being featured instead of seeing bullshit "filler"?



im new to the whole "car vids" thing. just been trying to document product development for those interested.

I stumbled across this recently. His whole channel is full of exactly this, not to mention he's a good driver to boot

I remember this one! This comment had me ROFLing once

"it's hilarious to me that you could be driving along a nice countryside, take a wrong turn, and end up merging onto a gosh darn racetrack"

At least he has his soda with him. I couldn't imagine doing that thirsty.

I'm not sure about other people, but I would love to watch the development. My kind of car videos are more along the lines of bad obsession and more of the technical centric car channels. But for some reason people really love tj hunt and Adam lz style car vids. Even tho it's usually just them kinda working on a car (usually just a basic swap) and vloggingish style. Plus lots of money flaunting.

[OBEEWON]

Driftworks channel is good, Papadakis too. Anyone who is just themselves and not a forced version of themselvesI can fool with, but everything gets stale after a while and I need a break. I'm not mad at anyone making loot off youtube regardless though.

[SupaDoopa]

I don't knock the hustle but I also don't appreciate the filler content about the breakfast you had, what you're wearing, when the last time you cut your lawn was, what you got at Starbucks or how your feet feel against the cold floor when the video is about the fitment of your new hood from _____ in Japan for your _____. Like, shut the fuck up already.

I enjoyed it. I really hope you are wearing a respirator when you are actually working. I dont know if the bits in the video were just to show your face or whatever but I was coughing, sitting at my desk seeing all that fiberglass dust flying around.

A gallery of painted cars with your aero would be nice to see. I understand why your site has them in the gel coat so people can actually see the differences in designs, but some final product / "Here's what your pos could look like if you painted it" images would be icing on the cake, in my humble opinion.

We are all mad at you. Stop trying to sell your Lexus. Keep it. Love it. Caress the steering wheel.

unfortunately im reliant on my customers painting their cars. most folks buy my parts and never send me pics. i usually only discover painted pics months later when i accidentally stumble on their posts via FB forums or IG. and honestly, i dont have the patience or time anymore to really keep tabs on everyone either between my day job and getting shit done or keeping things in line with DorkiDori is basically 2 full time jobs. i prefer posting pics of my aero in all its different states. paint or in gel coat because to me it shows not everyones cars are perfect, and regular people just like you and me run my parts, not just the folks that have pristinely painted cars whole reason i havent painted my hatch is because of how often i have to swap aero parts on and off my car for fitment, fixing or prototyping. dont want to screw up $3500+ in body work and paint.

and no, i wasnt wearing a respirator. usually just pulled my shirt up over my nose and mouth when things got annoying. ive also learned to hold my breath when working as well. i can usually go 2-3 minutes hold my breath without an issue when im zoned in on what im doing.

2-3 minutes? 'Sup, Michael Phelps.

you should. one of the neighbors at my shop, who works at a body shop, told me as soon as you smell the fiberglass dust, it's already in your lungs and that shit will be there forever. unless you smoke, then you're fucked anyway and can disregard hahaha

eh, whatever... if i die, i fucking die. i gave this planet some cool apparel for a while and then some cool old school aero parts. also rescued a kitten (now a full grown asshole) and made some cool music, plus toured... i think ive done my part on this planet. was never interested in having kids so im not really worried about that.

the only thing i ask for is a klingon funeral when i die

[spooled240]

We just assumed those "things" were only for the honeymoon lol

In other news I just bought an evo 9! Im gonna start a YT channel where every video starts with me taking a shit, brushing my teeth, showering, eating cereal before I talk about how excited I am about this car. Seems to be working for a lot of these cats and Im all about that hustle. Stay tuned!

Being someone who’s owned six EVO’s - two which were 9’s - I hope for your sake it isn’t a MR. Or at least a MR with the five speed GSR swapped in. Those six speeds were ass.

It is an MR. Im aware the 6 speeds are weaker, but its stock and I plan on keeping it stock so it should be fine. I've seen guys run 450hp with them with no issues.

After all the custom BS I've done with the 240, working on a 100% factory engineered vehicle is refreshing and not really intimidating for me.

No one buys one and says they're going to leave it as is. You're on this forum. You have the itch. You'll get bored fast - especially because the stock suspension is ass by now, the transmission probably has JBWeld holding it together and chances are you didn't check the front and rear subframes for rust yet. This means you'll be tinkering. No one tinkers to stay OEM.

I live in CA so we are pretty limited on what we can do under the hood here. It's just going to be maintenance and replacing worn parts for this one. I feel like Dizzariot now, "sTocK iz LyFe!!" lol
