Zack's having fun too but I feel like he's stretching the "insane yelling Zac" vibe a bit much, and the burnout yard streams haven't been as interesting to watch (last one I watched every car lasted a short time and broke down) vs say watching burnouts at the freedom factory). But! Nothing negative to all of them, just as long as they're out having fun!

That pickup was a massive win when I heard you got it, and the reason its more valuable now is because everyone else wants what you already have. They want that dream. Shit, I WANT THAT DREAM. I couldn't afford that car then, I sure as hell can't afford that car now. Vinny, from the bottom of my heart, I can't afford to see you sell that car without saying something. Keep it man.

    Don't blame you for getting rid of the e36 race car. One of the more regrettable things I did was go fully built 1000whp on our e36 328i. Car definitely wasn't as enjoyable afterwards. Didn't help it was 2007 so that much power was unheard of. So wasnt too happy with the trans, ecu, clutching and lag (engine is a 8:1 old school big boost build with an 80mm) Car was more fun when it was making 6-700whp with the stock engine.

We were the first to 4,5,6,7,8,900whp and 1000whp lol. Everyone told us to just build an s50/s52 cause they thought they were better but we made more on a stock m52 (715whp) than stock s52 (600whp) . HPF i remember seeming a little shady. Especially with their hp claims and reliability.

      @@vin_tra yea we felt pretty much untouchable. Even better was that the car is a sedan so street racing packed 5 deep was always fun. my only build ill probably ever do to that extent. It was stressful towards the end worrying about what's going to break next and how much will it cost. Thankfully alot of the one off parts we had sponsors like driveshaft shop made the first run of e36 axles and driveshaft for us, UUC made a few custom turbo cams and ICS in Stamford CT gave us free labor and dyno time for life. It was just me and my pops. I was still in high-school and he was in the elevator union. Slept in the 95 Tahoe we used to tow the car plenty of nights. But also stayed at multi million dollar estates and guest houses in Greenwich nextdoor to 50 cent/ Mike Tyson. Some of the people we met up there were insanely wealthy it was a culture shock to me. One time I rode with the guy we stayed with to get a b day present for his dad and come to find out he bought him a brand new Z8 that we beat the crap out of for a couple hours. He was only 17 at the time also but guess he had access to his parents accounts. Everyone up there called us "The Rednecks" and said we had an accent. Was an awesome time in my life that ill never forget.

    Stay the course, thin the herd, recoup your storage $ and space. Daily the Raptor, manual swap the Ferrari. Less cars less stress and anxiety about keeping them all up.

    Click video then immediately hit that like button. Every piece of content has been A+ since the start. Sad to see the M3 go but I completely agree with you as to why. Would love to see a 4 door build come to the channel next. Also I would hold on to the RS for a little while longer but if the money talks 😬 💰 ✌🏼

    I agree with Vin here. The E36 never felt right on this channel. Building an insane race car in one go is cool and all. I just enjoy the slow development of a race car. It’s fun seeing a car and a driver develop together rather than a driver building an insane car that they now have to learn to drive. Much like the guys over at gears and gasoline. They seem to have the formula down for good story development, pacing, and just fun in general. Not sure if Vin will see if but as I get older and realize that I won’t realistically own as many cars as a RUclipsr, his approach to thinning out the pack feels more grounded and realistic. Which I find refreshing in the RUclips landscape these days.
    I also work in architecture so I fucking love seeing his house 😂 that that place is a dream. Garage and all

    Awesome video today, I looked at your face when you said you going to sell a car. Everything you said about the E36, I have watched you build it, mod it, have track days in it, and it’s a part of your life as a part of the Hoonigan family/crew. The guy you sold it to has one of the coolest cars in the world and it is one of the mechanical sound and it sounds great on the street. You have some space back and make $. You made good decision. A new car project is creating a new vibe, more positive energy and the fans of this page want to see what you are doing next. And I’m one of them. Keep doing what you’re passionate about. And big ups to your camera and editor, awesome job and keeping the story going.

    I fully agree that the Hunt/Buy/Mod/Enjoy saga is very engaging and enjoyable content. Even this episode was very fun and exciting in a special way.
    If you decide to do any sort of turbo 4-door Toyota build, I highly recommend you team up with Serialnine for your drift suspension parts.

    Vin!!! Already spoke to you once in the 997 GT owners group on FB once, pleaaaaaase keep that 997, it's a gem and it will always be interesting, it's like the first Aventador from Stradman, just keep it brother and enjoy it to it's fullest, track it from time to time and enjoy it!

    PLEASE go Aristo or Stagea 260rs. Everybody overlooks them for chasers, soarers, cimas, Presidents, and skylines so you can almost guarantee you won't see another one in the wild outside of big events. (and most will be all VIP, whereas yours, from what I can see of your style, will be a driver's car.)

    If you're thinking about Chasers, R34 sedans, etc now is a GREAT time to import straight from Japan. With the Yen recently crashed to like a 35yr low or something like that, cars are getting pretty cheap (relative) over there compared to recent years. Im sure theres prob already a bunch in Cali, but food for thought.

    Even if you don't drive it all the time, and have to store the RS, the appreciation will easily cover the storage cost. I'm sure it's tempting to think about all the cars/projects/investments you could make with that money, but... like you said, rare cars just get rarer. It's irreplaceable. Plus, if you ever REALLY need the cash, you'll have a nice nest egg in that car.

    I can’t overstate how big a mistake it would be to sell the GT3RS. It was your self stated dream car and is an actual goat of the sports car world. Nothing can replace it. That’s a legacy car right there. Same with the 360 I think.
