Randy was a buyer of junky cars and started struggling to move them, which became a predictable and boring theme to me. At least with you, you're actively doing fresh and different things to vary the channel's content and engage viewers. And now you're purging to make room and proactively clearing out some stuff. I see no problems here. No one's perfect, but at least you're pushing and grinding, and I, for one, appreciate it. You go brother.

    Dude, I've been there, right where you are right now. I'm a Florida native. I was always in the auto business, body shop, auto glass, and sales.I cut out my first windshield when I was 10. I couldn't afford a car when I got my drivers license, so I found a POS 1977 Dodge Aspen 2 door, paid the guy $700, and got the thing running. I drove that car from 1986 to 1992, and my friend I sold it to still has it today. I also owned 3 bars and restaurants, and by 2003, I was burned out. I was going in ten directions and couldn't focus on anything, so I did what you are doing. I sold everything, house, vehicles, toys, everything, and moved to the midwest. It took a year for me to decide that restaurants and bars were where my heart was, and I opened a small place in the big town 40 miles away. It was great. I felt like I could breathe again. Well, one led to two, then two led to three locations, and then I started all over again with cars, and I was back in the same situation I moved away from to Florida to get away from. By 2013, I was exhausted again. I woke up on a Saturday and told my family I was selling everything again and we're going home to Florida. By 2014, we were back in Florida, and I'd returned to the service industry with a small beach adjacent spot. I did that for another 8 years, and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was working at our family shop on my days off just because I can't be without some grease under my nails. I can't help it. I love cars, everything from repairs to sales. I can talk cars with a total stranger until they just walk away, and they have, believe me. I've been in another Southern state since 2022 doing basically nothing, mostly car appraisals when I can to kill the boredom. Last week, I looked at a nice corner building with three bays, a waiting area, offices, and forty parking stalls. I've got the fever again. There is something about the smell of a service bay and the banter with the customers and mechanics I am addicted to, apparently. My point is happiness comes in all forms, and in business it's better to know when to get out, step back, and remember why you do what you do and ask yourself if you still want to do it and if you do, what will you do different. The alternative is to keep on spreading yourrself too thin and ruin everything you've worked hard for to build. Vent on, my friend. I've been there too. You'll figure it out and feel like a new man soon. I'll still be here watching and liking.

My property had about 1/4 miles of driveway. No way was a shovel going to cut it. On bad days the rural gravel roads would turn into an ice sheet and I lived up a small hill. It was a great property, miserable in the winter. That's why I ended up staying in the South, well below the snow and ice belt.

      F that! We moved several times when I was a kid, and never under the best of circumstances (Under adverse conditions or escaping those conditions).....and as much as I hated the idea of leaving my original childhood home, I have to say the moves were great blessings and opportunities to experience different things, and they gave me a true education and made me much more versatile and wise. The initial resistance to a major move wears off in a matter of days. It's a GREAT opportunity for the kids...to have to learn how to handle not being comfortable for a brief period; to make new friends; experience new things, etc. And it gives them perspective...maybe they'll really miss their best friend..or maybe they'll realize that there are even better ones out there and they were just friends because of physical proximity. It's a true growth opportunity. Kids who have had to move a time or two always have a leg up in life.

      The only solution is keep a vehicle stored during the corrosive season, replace the vehicle every few years or move to an area that doesn't see snow and ice.

    I started watching your videos when you bought the auction boat. I’ve learned a lot about what was once a dream of mine from you, flipping cars isn’t any different that the business I own or should I say the business that owns me. It has inspired me to make what I have the best I can be. Enjoy your family and looking forward to seeing what’s next. Thank you for having honest content and know that more than most enjoy the movie quotes!

    You provide great content and you seem to have a real grasp on how the videos have been perceived over the years. The early buy, fix, sell is what got me hooked and then the flipping for a Ferrari series. It’s obvious you love the 90’s cars that I do as well so I understand the trap. Same with Audi’s, I had a great driving bmw 530i so know how incredible German cars are when they are available. I know Toyota’s rust up there but they are available mechanical wise in Florida. I’m a fan. Best of luck in your future endeavors!! Can’t wait to see it unfold!

    It was nice meeting you at Barrett Jackson Saturday and chatting with you for a bit. I’ve been watching your videos since Covid and what’s kept me watching is that your videos are…real. Although watching someone daily drive a supercar, or watching a tour of a $100 million dollar yacht are cool, I find your videos much more entertaining because they’re real and relatable. Do what makes you happy, like I said…I moved to south Florida 12 years ago and my only regret was not doing it sooner. I sold everything I had in Ohio and came down here without knowing anyone or anything. I built a life, met an amazing woman, and started a great family…this is what makes me happy (year long beautiful weather helps tremendously). You and your family will LOVE it here. As for your cars, maybe try and do like a giveaway or raffle, or something. Maybe it will give/inspire others to get into flipping cars that couldn’t otherwise do so. If you’re ever in or around Palm Beach and need a hand or wanna grab a drink…let me know.

    Craig - we also became so SICK of the cold among other things in NY - sold off around 50% of belongings (family of 6) that sat within a 3900 sq ft house. I’m like you - “collector.” I should say, was. We moved and my one piece of advice - if you think you sold enough - sell another 25%. lol. After arriving in sunny Florida - we realized how little we needed as you are always out and about. Not hibernating/collecting. Good luck - we moved 3.5 years ago and never looked back…. best decision ever.

    i have to say i relate in a way. i used to buy dirt cheap darn near free bmws and fix them up, and move into mercedes more recently, however when i started to work on them and fix them up, i could care less. i dont have the desire to turn a wrench like i used to, and then add into the mix the cost of gas, and insurance over the last few years and its not a fun hobby anymore. theres a point when saying "gotta pay to play" turns into gotta be a slave to play.
    in terms of "stuff" well this is what happens when people make money and keep spending spending spending and using kids and happy wife happy life as an excuse. in the end you are never going to be satisfied. im happier making a little less money, and also cutting out buying anything that isnt a NEED anymore. its pretty rare i "treat myself" with material items. to have an entire dumpster and still not done means yall buy too much crap.

      But he'd rather set them on fire than sell them for what the market says they are worth. "It's only worth what someone is willing to pay" feels like his passion has made him lost sight of that. Like the skyline that's not a gtr. Yes during covid it was a $40,000 car well times have changed gtr's are everywhere. The r34 became legal and the r33 is the least wanted model and there is nothing about it that sets it apart or makes it rare production anymore. It MIGHT be a $20,000 car now on a good day. The paint job which I know was expensive actually hurt the value because everyone knows it's not a real MNP. R34 gtt turbos can be had for $30-40k now all day.
