Jared has got to be one of the few most genuine car guys in the youtube car space.
Can not agree more
He's one of us. Except likeable...and with serious mechanical skills...
Jared and Derek. Not only are their colabs great, but they are the two most humble down to earth guys ever. They are just as nice and awesome in person.
Hell he joined as a fan of tavarish while working at speed for sale. Genuine intro for a genuine guy.
Agreed! So excited to see him and his channel growing even more.
Jared, the fact it means that much to you makes this series all that much more special. It also shows us one of the real reasons you and your channel are special. You're a real person. You're not afraid to show it and let us into your world. Not only are you the Professor. You're also one hell of a man. Good on you my friend.
Can't wait to see the series on the restoration. Thank you Valvoline for making this happen, Jared and Mrs. Jared are going to love cruising around again in her.
At the beginning of the video I thought "This is gonna be a boring one" but let me tell you that at the end I just said I hope I had some memories as meaningful as you do. That's not just about a car but all the passion, effort and time with your loved ones. You can get it up and running so you can go with your wife and relive those precious moments.
Your story about that supra almost brought a tear to my eye, no wrenching no matter. This is one your best videos ever Jared.
Almost? It hit me right in the feels.
Happy for you… my late brother left me an 87 grand national.. I tried 19 years ago to restore it… but I was 19 and knew nothing… didn’t even know cars used oil to run… and there I was with most guys dream car… it sat for 15 years and then I was challenged…here I am.. now wrenching myself thanks to RUclipsrs like yourself. Thank you for the story. Thank you for all of the videos. I know you’ll finish your car with love and even more memories. Thanks bro..
You need to watch Legitstreetcars channel as Alex has been working in a Grand National
@@organiccold I also watch Alex’s channel… tbh.. it was vice grip garages video that coincidentally sparked my light again on my brothers car. I’ve always made sure it was garage kept until I bought my own house, and now it just feels right ya know… do I know exactly what I’m doing? No… but… I have determination and RUclips to help. I know it’s not the same sort of story as Jarrods.. but I know what it means to never want to part with a car because it’s way more than just a car… I got it running and recently upgraded the brake system to a hydraulic system. Our mom and sisters definitely love seeing the car running again… thank all you guys… more than you know i am eternally grateful for all of your videos and the comments as well!
@@SunikaSKVR Ironically, it was VGG's channel that made me want to work on restoring and bring back the 1985 Grand Prix that my Dad and I worked on back in my teenage year.
Jared, I’m a long time supporter of you. Even when this wasn’t 100% your channel.
Don’t feel bad about not having any “wrenching” in the videos.
This is the questionable garage, not wrench every day. We love this channel because we love you Jared. We love hearing why certain cars mean so much to you and story videos are sometimes better than full on wrenching videos. Anyways I guess what I am trying to get at is that you have a really solid fan base that enjoys anything and everything you do, so don’t fear putting out a video when there is little to no “work” done on camera. It’s nice to have the back story and depth of a project past just horsepower and numbers for a machine. ❤
Sometimes when people say “things don’t matter,” I don’t think they understand what circumstances might be involved. I have a pocket knife from my grandfather, a Jeep that I restored with the few precious spare minutes I had at that time. I have a chisel that my father forged in high school. Things? Maybe. But they become artifacts of my family and the memories with them are priceless.
Good luck on this build. I don’t think you’ll regret a thing.
The first non Questionable decision in a long time, easy. You'll love every moment of this build, and so will we.
Hey Jared, I can truly say that as a "car guy" in the 35 year since I got a driving license, there is a car that is a heart car. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, and it doesn't matter what the trends are, the heart car is your soul on the road. I was moved to see the emotion you have for the Supra and every thing it stands for. Go for it brother build away, the viewers will watch and follow it for sure. Good luck on the build!
Jared, you are simply a great guy, and both your lovely wife, and editor Duane must be so proud of you and love you so much!
Dude I almost got emotional especially watching you and the Mrs. driving away after the wedding. That was awesome. I'm more motivated than ever to get my car back on the road and done the way I want. Can't wait to see the build.
No reason to apologize, many of us have similar stories of cars that are just part of who we are. The wedding video brought back memories as my wife and left our wedding in my 87 Supra back in 1991.
Your preaching to the choir my friend. We all understand. My “heart car” is an S13. I’ve owned three of them, but “the one” was a car I saved up and worked on for years. By the end it was a street legal track car. 380whp gutted, externally gated monster. It wasn’t very pretty, but it was sorted, and fast and so much fun. But I had so much blood and sweat and years of dreaming about what it would be like when it was done so when it finally was, it meant the world to me. I sold it when our track closed in 2005. But I wish I still had it. I loved that car so much.
Jared, I know you may not see this, but this video means the world to me.
I feel the same way about my 82 Supra.
I’ve had many Supras over the years and other projects on the go right now. But my 82 was my highschool car and the one that I’ve owned off and on the longest. I really appreciate this video and it helping me make some choices coming up soon here. Love the Supra content. This channel rocks. ❤
Good video, Jared.
I remember when you were working on my 1994 Supra, I would get to see and hear a bit about the silver MKIII you had. I recognize the feelings you and your wife have for that car because I and my son have the same feelings about my MKIV. Everyone in my family knows that it will always be my "favorite" and it will go to my son when I am no longer able to drive it. I hope one of his boys gets to understand how we are so attached to it, and possibly they may inherit a real special car some day.
😃😃😃😃😃😃
I can relate to you SO HARD on this.
I've followed you since the channel started (after Tavarish's earlier few videos). I recall you momentarily talking of this car as it sat in the background every now and then. Thanks for giving us the full full story of this car! I know EXACTLY what you mean. That one car where you've spent so much time in. My 2013 Audi A3 hatchback which I've owned for 10 years now, is the car where I took my now wife to our first date (which I combined with several errands I had to do and she happily/begrudgingly tagged along LOL) and drove off from our wedding, the car I picked up my cat in, the car we took to many road trips in and is in so many pictures in the background, the car my wife learned how to drive in (she lived in Tokyo before so she never had to learn how to drive until she moved out for me to the US hahaha). This car is my heart car for my wife and I and we both love its practicality and fun character. We have so many firsts together on this car and it means so much to us.
I've recently done some work on it to preserve it now so it can last as long as possible; replacing gaskets, plugs, coils, oil separator, filters, etc etc.. with more robust ones and newer revision ones that came out for later iterations of the engine. You are seriously my inspiration to do all that by myself. Thank you so so much.
---
Also, you're doing such a service to the community by selling it to another enthusiast to be their "heart car." That was such a beautiful statement.
And seriously, Duane the Editor is the bro'est of total bro's. Lending $2500 to Kid Jared and future Son-in-Law which has now lead to their current career in RUclips. I bet he did see something special in you and it has paid off in spades.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!!!
I knew that outline from the thumbnail and was about to get really angry, but it makes total sense, and I'm extremely jealous. My parents got me an 89 NA for my first car, had it a few years and traded towards a black 91 Turbo. I've had lots of fun cars throughout the years but my 91 Turbo is still the one that got away. Can't wait to watch more on this car!
Jared, your passion for this car made it well worth just hear you ramble on about it for 20 minutes. This is why we are car guys, making great memories.
Jared, these stories strike a chord with all us car guys. I really appreciate the story and insight to your life. It really felt like letting a friend vent and talk themself into something near to their heart. Can't wait to see the finished product, and hope to see you in Bristol again this year.
I truly enjoyed this episode. Actually way more than the normal wrenching which I quite enjoy! I think it's because everything you said here was so real and meant so much! Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just found my old college car on Facebook - a 96 Camaro SS. My dad and I flew from PA to NC and I learned to drive stick on the way home. I never wanted to sell it but did to help my brother start his business…in 2004. It’s now in my driveway getting restored. I get it. We all get it.
Jared, love this video, and man if I hadn't bought Valvoline before I sure will now! Anyway, I can't tell you how much I understand the emotional attachment to a car. It's the memories that make you so emotional, going back in time and thinking of the good things and bad things in your life that kind of swirl around car ownership - maybe some viewer's cars were the only constant in an extremely turbulent life, maybe they're attached to a friend, a wife, a lover, a new job - whatever it may be. Car guys get it.
I agree with so many people here that you're not only one of the most genuine people on RUclips, you're extremely skilled and personable and it's so nice to watch your channel. I can see why you and Tavarish are friends.
Thanks for this video, so excited to see the restoration!
You're 100% valid for having feelings about your car, Jared. I cried for a week when I totaled my "heart car."
I feel your pain brother. I was always a big Need For Speed fan and when the 2005 version of Most Wanted came out, I fell in love with the GTO. Fast forward to the summer of 2009 and I was the proud owner of a 2006 GTO. I went through hell with that thing learning to mod cars. I put on long tube headers, exhaust, over the radiator cold air intake, tuning, a sound system, painting the interior pieces. Not to mention the blowing out a radiator, having a blowout on the highway, MAF sensor issues, AC issues. I loved that car. I traded it and a truck I had at the time in for a nice shiny 6” lifted Toyota Tundra, and I regret that decision every day of my life.
I found the VIN in my history on my insurance one day adding my most recent truck to it and I googled the VIN. Turns out the thing was smashed up and sold at an auction and my heart sank.
I wish you luck on your future endeavors, non-car people just don’t understand what we go through with our “first car love” and parting ways or talking about them.
I SEE THAT EVANGELION POSTER, JARED! Now we all now Jared has a bit of weeaboo energy deep down, it's no use trying to hide that. Lmao
Ha, glad Im not the only one that caught that.
Do you mind posting a time stamp
As much as it must be hard to say goodbye to the TTr. I totally get it. The story behind the other gen 3, is so much more than the teenage Jared dream car. Can't wait for the build, because the story behind that cat, and your connection with it, will make for a really amazing series of videos.
Good story. Mine is a ‘95 Deep Jewel Green mtx SHO. Left our wedding it it back in 2007. Hit a deer later that year. It’s been in storage since then. It’s been partially repaired, but life has interfered with my motivation to complete it and get it back on the road. Thanks for helping me remember how special it is, and how much I want to take my wife out for a date in it again.
Don’t tend to comment on RUclips videos but been watching a long time, no need to apologise about no wrenching most people are here to watch you because of you dude and to see something so genuine and wholesome just makes it like chatting to your best friend keep up the good work and just keep being you man 👍
The heart car or moped, or what is it. That's the one you will always remember back to. It is the car that you love, but the other cars you may love them, but they don't have the same meaning as the heart car. It is heart warming to someone open up finally about their car. Everybody just got one of those cars, and everyone knows what it is.
Touching video - you can really feel the love for that car and its obvious sentimental value to Jared and the Mrs. Can't wait to see the dream of having it back on the road come true. Gotta have dreams! -- mine is that someday I will get up to meet the GRC guys who are so helpful to me on my Scout and someday meet Jared and get him to sell me that Scout he's leaning on in the beginning of this video! 😁
Good for you Jared, doing what your heart wants, even if it took the Valvoline team to kick your butt into gear to do it. It for sure sounds like a child you and your wife love, bring it back better than before so you two can enjoy it and make even more memories with.
Keep up the great videos and work!
Jared, you are by far one of my favorite RUclipsrs. The love you have for cars is unreal. Your an inspiration and someone people strived to be. Thanks for being you and all you show. Hope to meet you one day man!
As a car guy myself. I heard you loud and clear! I made that same promise to my son about our project car. Its brought us closer then I could ever known. To most people its just an old honda. But to us, its so much more then that.
Actually teared up a little hearing how much the grey Supra meant to you and your wife. My Grandma sold my Grandfather's Saab 900 Turbo after he passed away in 1985 and purchased a new Supra in 1986. She brought it up to my house in the High Desert because she wanted to know what the top speed was and wanted me to take her for that ride. It was about as much fun as a 16 year old kid could have. She yelled ok at 130 mph on the speedo. My love for those cars was cemented.
The concept of the heart car hit me hard. My heart car wasn't even one I owned. My dad picked up a "little old lady owned" 1984 Buick Skyhawk in around 2005 for his daily driver. When my car blew up and I needed something to drive to college, he let me drive it. It was so small and "quick", and I loved it. He blew the engine about a year later, but I still think about that car nearly 20 years later.
Follow your dreams man. I keep coming back to the Subaru SVX which was my first real “sports” car in my early 20s and am currently working on a dual restoration project between a 93 for show and a 94 for a daily.
You made me think of the cars and bikes, that I drove and loved in my 46 years of motoring. Choked me up and pulled on my heartstrings. Good on you , for the "less is more" approach.
Videos like this are why I love your channel, every car guy has that one car we absolutely love and the reasons can be many.
Mine was a 1981 Cutlass Supreme, besides all the great high school memories with the car it was also the fact I busted my butt as a young teen mowing grass, raking leaves, shoveling snow, and detasseling corn to buy my first car.
It was the car where I learned how to wrench and my auto tech teacher Mr. Milford was a great guy who inspired us to learn, the day I sold it was emotional to say the least.
It's so hard to explain to none car people what a car can mean to someone. It's a passion. It's being a fanatic. It's raw emotion. My dad used to tell me stories of how disappointed he was in selling his first car. And from that I told myself I wouldn't let myself do that.
This video...... As we say in the UK "I'm not crying, you are." hit me right in the feels.
Go for it big man. With you all the way.
My brother died in a car accident 25 years ago, at about this time (3/14/98 1am). He was 21, I was 23.
I still have his 1987 S-10 4x4. There's nothing special about it except for that it was his. I kept it going until 2008, then, for a stupid reason, I let it sit. I've already started the process of bringing it back to life. It'll take more money than what it's worth as far as monetary goes, but to me, it's priceless.
Looking forward to seeing the progress Jared.
Boy do I get it! My first car back in 84 was a 68 mustang. I paid $400 for it and after rebuilding the little 302, took it to the track at least once a month. Then in 88 I was offered $4000 for it and couldn't believe someone was willing to pay that much for it. So I sold it, and instantly regretted it. After that life happened and now that I'm disabled and unemployable I'll never own one again and it kills me every time I see one. Good on you for holding onto your heart car and recognizing it's value to you. Also, don't apologize for a video that shows other car guys like myself that we're not the only nuts that have genuine affection for our vehicles. Should be a fun video series.
I hear you, my childhood was growing up with my parents 78 suburban, when I was old enough to drive, it was my first car I ever drove, have been in love with square body suburbans since and recently I bought a 79 big block 3/4 ton suburban, and I have had a smile on my face ever since
You have a huge heart and don't change. Cars become family members, we name them, Love them and drive them. Time to bring the Supra back to life. P.S. Dwayne you rock for giving him the money
When I lived in Japan from 98-02, I had an 89 toyota soarer with the same twin turbo setup. I loved that car so much and when I left, I was able to sell it to another young car guy who loved it as much as I did. I'll never forget the insane times in that car!
My wife recently asked me of course while I was driving, " why don't you sell the Chevy (57 4dr that I am restoring) so you can do other projects. As tears boiled up in my eyes all I could tell her is it was a piece of my heart. It was to be a project that my kids helped me with. Maybe not as much as I would have liked but they did. They are leaving for college and careers all with a love of cars. I totally feel for you when you say the car is a heart car. Can't wait to see it done.
Jared I totally get it. There are sometimes just those cars that become part of the family and mean more to you than a lot of people can understand. I’ve had a ton of cool cars, Porsches, Astons, a Ferrari, but my old Buick from high school is the one that brings a tear to my eye to think about. I had it for nearly 20 years and followed me through 7 states and a lot of ups and downs in my life. Sadly that one is gone forever as it burned to the ground on the side of the highway. I had let it sit and rodents built a nest under it that caught fire when I tried to pull it out of storage. So build the Supra my friend, and keep those memories alive. We will all enjoy watching it come back to life!
My heart car is an oddball car that’s unloved like your car, but it always comes back to the memories every time.
I had an ‘89 Supra Turbo 7MGTE MKIII 5 speed in white with targa top and blue interior. Miss that car too, but it was overweight and ran lean once needing a full piston rebuild… 💰💰💰 Beautiful bittersweet memories 😢 I used to want an MKIV at the time (1996) but they were too expensive
I don't have a car like that. I loved my 86 Firebird through high school and into college, I wrecked it and the love affair ended. I loved my GTP unit it slowly dissolved, but still ran onto the trailer pissing raw fuel everywhere when the jack pushed through the lift point and crushed the fuel line. Then I wasn't in love with it anymore. I loved my 06 GTO, until I wrecked it. When I made the decision not to repair it, I felt bad that I let the car down, but I wasn't in love with it anymore. I've never had that lasting love affair with anything. I'm glad you have yours and I look forward to seeing you put your passion into that car.
I think most of us get the emotional outpouring you have for this car. My memories include a 1972 Datsun 240z, and my first car a 1966 2 door, hardtop Galaxie which I have so many memories driving everywhere with my 8 track, and graphic equalizer listening to Zeppelin, and a lot of disco. Had I the spare cash, those two cars would be in my garage, if I had a garage! 😁 I can't wait for the rebuild? refurb? frame off restoration? Whatever you do to the car, I'm certain she will look as new again ready for more memories! 👍😎✌
I have that same connection with my 89 Honda Prelude. There are MANY cars that are better than that car in every measurable way, but nothing can replace the 20 years, 200,000 miles and a lifetime of memories made with that car. I'm so glad I kept mine, and I'm really happy to see you still have your Supra!
Hi Jarad,
I rarely comment on a video but felt compelled to do so on this one. Firstly, it seems to me that you have a very special opportunity to do something totally great here. By selling your dream car you can allot all the funds from that to your heart car. It seems to me that you could meld the two and have them both in one package. If it were me I'd make it the ultimate sleeper. Make the outside a beautiful remake of the original supra and make the inside the twin turbo on steroids... Either way I will be watching and wish you the best with your decision.
Dont know if you guys ever watched, but at the end of Supernatural, they were talking about Deans Impala, sitting up front with Dad driving, Sam putting his little toys in the ashtray
cars become a part of our life, I guess you need to be a car guy to understand that, but I wouldnt want to be anything else.
As a guy who grew up in the 80's, I totally get it, Jared. My first car was a 1972 Chevelle and I rebuilt the engine in it with my Dad. After finally realizing it was not worth all of the effort I put into it, as it had been crashed and rebuilt, I sold it and bought a 1986 1/2 Supra. It was a dream come true for me and, amazingly, my wife and I drove off in it for our honeymoon and experienced the same shoe polish issue you described! My wife loved that car as much as I did but when our family outgrew it, it was sent down the road for a 4 door 1991 Accord that was easier to use with car seats. I loved the 93 and beyond Supra's and the genuine powerhouse of their engines but there is something about the classic lines and pop-up headlights of the previous generation that makes them timeless and more beloved to me. That said, they were underwhelmingly slow. Conclusion: put your vast knowledge to work and make your Supra what YOU want it to be! It doesn't need to impress anyone else--except maybe your wife--so built it to YOUR specifications. It doesn't need to be the fastest, flashiest, or best by other peoples' standards, just stick with your gut and "build it better." Godspeed in your effort! You are a true inspiration to us all.
She deserves a lot of attention some people don't understand the relationship between the car and the owner my parents force me to sell my car and they keep telling me it is just a piece of junk but I told them I have memories with my car that I can't simply sell it.
As a fellow car guy, I totally get it. I have my late brother's Chevelle. He would sometimes pick me up from school in it and now I sometimes pick up my son from school in it. Floods of memories come back every time I drive it.
I understand what you mean Jared! No matter what, that’s always “THE” car!
My dad gave me a 1992 Toyota pickup (us aussies call them hilux’s), and although it’s every shade of white, it’s still my “THE” car and nothing will ever compare, I’ve learnt so much just from working on it, and it will forever be in my possession.
Very keen to see the series of the comeback for the supra, in the end it’ll be everything you have wanted.
Valvoline made a good decision choosing to sponsor you. Your are one of my favorite You Tubers. You pocess more skills than most.
Wow, thank you!
Jared, you couldn’t have said it better and your audience gets it 100% Make it run man.
Memories mean a hell of a lot more than dreams. Memories take you back, dreams are what drive you and the “heart cars” or memory cars aren’t always about being the fastest, loudest, or craziest.
Sometimes it is a simple car that means the most.
This is why I love watching your videos, even when the choices are questionable you're still putting your heart into it.
I remember how excited & proud you were to show me the R when I was picking up my Supra from the shop. It's a fabulous example & a great, rare car for the lucky enthusiast who snags it. Eager to watch your build on the '89!!! I'm sure it's going to be amazing.
One of your best moments as a creator. Sharing your passion for what means the most to you is awesome. Love the direction the channel is headed and love the stuff you've done with VGG. You two guys inspire all of us to get out there and get back to what we love. I hope to one day get my son and daughters to help put together something that means as much to us as the Supra does to you and the Mrs. Look forward to the build series. Keep doing what you're doing and keep being true to yourself.
Thanks for this video. I don't care that there wasn't a single spanner in it, sometimes we need a reminder of why we love the cars we do - even if they appear a bit questionable to 'normal' people.
Never apologise for making videos like this. It's rare to see the genuine channels run by people who are genuine. I can't stand the overhyped super commercialised channels.
Never change mate. I'll be interested to see what you do to the old rig.
Such a heartfelt video!! More power to you man!!
Thanks for the story! I own an 83 and 87 Supra Turbo. I was mainly into MKIIs until I rode in a slightly modded MKIII at a Toronto Supra Club meet and then immediately fell in love kept my eye out for one and got mine for a great deal. 15+ years later I still own them. I dont drive them much (1-2k mikes/year) but still appreciate them and turn heads and have a lot of memories with. Ideally I always wanted an 84 and an 89+ and a TT-R Green Mica was always on the bucket list especially since they were allowed in Canada earlier than the states which I'm in Buffalo, NY so would occasionally go up and see one in person. Good luck and looking forward to watching the build!
Thank you Valvoline… there have been earlier episodes where you have discussed this car … and when you talk about it, you can see the passion, and the regret that it is not running … get after it!!
What I love about and why I would get/keep certain cars, (and bikes, boats, plans, etc) is the stories behind them. Your story pulled on the heart strings a bit. Excited to see how it comes together.
Happy for you Jared. You are one of, if not THE most authentic car RUclipsr and you deserve any happiness and blessings that come your way. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Tears in my eyes with this one. Can't wait to see how this goes. Still catching up on all the videos Jared but it's story time videos like this that make you my favourite personality on RUclips.
I like story time with Jared. Don’t fret about it. I recently was one of the ones hoping you’d build this, and I’m all the happier to know you are going to do it and the sacrifice isn’t much of one when you get to keep the one that really embodies the most. I’m here for every questionable choice
Totally understand the sentimental meaning for the car that on paper, might not be as special to someone else - but means the world to you. I cannot wait to see this come back to life, not just because it'll be a cool car, but because you'll get to enjoy it again the way it should be.
Beautiful memories, and can't wait to see the progress. I also have an 89 (pretty much the same color too) that I bought from my dad a few years ago as he liquidated his fleet of Mk3's. I've been sitting on a half finished long block and every morning I see the car and kick myself as i work on my other projects. Thanks for the inspiration and best of luck on the build.
I've been on the fence about getting rid of my "heart car" lately. A 1993 Accord EX. It was the epitome of what I wanted as a young teen. It was my grandmother's back in 1992 before her son took it over. He sold it to my mom in the early 2000s. She drove it for a long time before my pop ended up using it as a commuter car for work (all the while still having 17" wheels, pretty big for the time, a full eibach kit, a custom kicker/Blaupunkt system, and full white leather interior) and finally going to my sister as her college car before being passed on to me. After watching this video I've realized the connection I have with that car and I cannot bring myself to get rid of it. I found myself getting emotional right along with you as I thought about that car and how it's been sitting in my garage for a couple of years as well. Looks like we both have a 2023 "heart car" goal that we will both be getting back on the road.
Probably the best video yet. I don't like the waffling except when it's a heart filled story. Build it, don't make it much better, just build it. We've all seen rthe monst builds. Goodnight Jared.
It’s not the cat bro. It’s the memories that car was apart of and continually brings up that makes you emotional. And that is not stupid at all.
Jared, I absolutely agree with you following your heart. It means a lot that you carry those memories and that they are that special to you. Don't ever let that get away from you my friend.
My EVERYTHING car is a 1979 Chevy Stepside pickup. Ive had it since the day it was new. My dad was older and always in poor health, so we didn't do a whole lot together. But he bought me this truck when I was 17 and I grew up in it! When he developed dementia I would come over about 1-2 in the morning and drive him around in it. It calmed him as nights for him were tough. Gave my sainted mother a break too.
It's sitting out in the driveway and hasn't run in about 8 years. Time for me to also start to work on the vehicle that means the most to me!! It will also go to my son one day, who loves it too! Just wish I had your skills.....
Enjoyed your story, and I "get it"!!!
Jarod you are a true inspiration to men. Your ability to be authentically genuine while being vulnerable defines what it means to be a man or in your case the man
It’s alright man. We all know how you feel. There’s always those memories with a car that means the most to a man (or woman). We all understand and are rooting for you to do all the work to her and get her on the road again screaming!
I have a 1986 supra that i bought with a blown ge, almost finished with a turbo 5.3 swap with t56, these mk3 supras are what turned me onto jdm cars and is the first car that im properly building, in my eyes they are thee absolutely best looking cars and i plan on holding onto it for a lifetime and understand your love for it!
My most memorable car was my 1996 Nissan Hardbody SE. Although it was my 3rd vehicle, it was the first I really learned to work on. I lowered it with the help of a friend and a Minitruckin magazine. Traded the wheels it came with for a then brand new set of bigger Pathfinder wheels. Redid the interior myself, learned how to sew in boy scouts. Istalled two systems and was on the way to repainting it when I lost it to a really crappie decision. I still love that truck to this day. I was 19 when I had it, in my 40s now lol!!! Love your channel sir!
16:45 you had me in tears 😭 soon as I saw the wedding 💒 video ❤
Please don't apologize for being real and open. I really appreciated your heart and vulnerability.
Right in the feels Jared
Right in the feels.
You get that 89 running right. It deserves it. And so do you
I wish I would have never let go of my 1st car:
1979 Chrysler LeBaron V8 sedan. Sometimes I find myself looking for another LeBaron of the same bodystyle to bring back the nostalgia. I totally get what you mean Jared by this video. Thanks for sharing this with us and thanks to Valvoline for their continued support.
I have never posted on your videos before, or may I have, I don't remember. Watching and hearing you choke up while talking about your baby, made me choke up. I sadly cannot find mine (not a Supra), because I sold it some time ago, but it holds the same soft spot in my heart. I know that you're going to put up a phenomenal series with this car.
This video makes me think about my dad's 1984 Nissan 720. It was his first and favorite vehicle, and now after your video I want more than ever to find another for him because that truck had a lot of stories with my family
I've been following this channel for years waiting for a MK3 supra build series! I've been searching for another clean enough MK3 supra myself to put my 1jzgte vvti into from my s13 coupe. I regret selling my clean manual N/a white package when I was younger but will definitely own another one! I love these cars and am super excited for this build series!! Thank you Valvoline!
100% get the heart car, as every car nut does. Just got my heart car running again today after 5 years of sitting, so the timing of this video is impeccable! Still a bunch more to do but hearing it run was one of the happiest, in the moment experiences I've had recently.
This is the right call. I understand completely. I let my Heart Car go, and I have regretted it ever since. Get this thing running and make more memories in it!
Thanks for sharing your heart car story. I have owned nearly triple digit amount of cars in 21 years, and there are less than 5 I would do almost anything to get back. It's definitely something we as car guys understand.
My man got me all choked up.. I look forward to what's next with your ❤️ car
I know EXACTLY what you mean sir. I still have my "heart" car. My first, and only, Mustang. An authentic 2000 Saleen. Now with a 2003 Terminator and all the fixins. It means the world to me. Still drives great. I'll never sell until I can't drive it anymore.
Wow. Just, wow. I almost shed some man tears here. I think all real car guys have a "heart" car. It will be really enjoyable to see you build this car.
Truer words have rarely been spoken. Now if only my family and friends understood this. Keep being a gearhead we are a dying breed.
The footage of your wedding, driving away with your new wife in the Supra was fantastic. Very emotional, I totally understand where you’re heart is. Gotta say, without the beard, I could’ve sworn you were Jason Pohl. The resemblance is uncanny! ☺️😉
Jared, so excited to see the Supra series. I too understand the car being a part of the family. The memories are what drive us to do what's only in our dreams. It'll be awesome to see you and your wife drive it and relive those memories. God speed my friend!!
