Dude. Amy 1000% percent. Women know. My wife could have saved me TONS of money, time, energy and emotions if I simply did one thing: LISTEN TO HER. Happy wife, happy life.
Now this is what we call dynamic content! 1. Real Life Situations 2. No Bullshit 3. Production Quality is great 4. A mix of high production and vlog style 5. Just relatable practical stuff. Damn, I'm overwhelmed but please keep on bringing this stuff for us. This is the reason why we keep on watching, just the perfect balance of all aspects! That despite the worries of "cat life" we stiill enjoy despite the troubles 😂 Wish you all the best Kuya Vin!!
First, congrats to you and Amy! That’s huge and you two make an incredible couple. Second, Jolly’s laugh is uber contagious. Love it. Third, you have all the right in the world to be super pissed about wasting your time/money on a trip to Vegas for someone to not only lowball you but also insult you by trying to force a deal just because you were there… good on ya for not flaming him like many others would. Fourth, Scotto! Fifth, and last but not least, I’m really excited to see what replaces the wagon. I personally love those things and the manual swap would perfect it assuming the clutch wasn’t such a pain. Thanks for another great upload!
I HATE ads that don't list the transmission. As you might know, 90% of C6 Corvettes are automatic but you have to scroll through the pictures to find it.
@@vin_tra I thought I had one of those with a yellow Boxster and was *this* close to going out to buy an auto boxster with a bad transmission before I realized it was in fact auto. Luckily the seller also barely responded to messages lol
Vin I don't know how you do it but even an episode that has as simple of a premise as just deciding if you wnat to sell a car or not is so fun to watch and has great storytelling. So happy that you started this channel and have been enjoying the vids thoroughly
That's kinda sad, I've been looking forward to IS300 Sportcross build so much. But if you think you're not really into it anymore and it' be better to sell it, I'm ok with that
Well Vin my wife and I only had one car for many years and since watching your channel I have developed a problem. I bought a skyline r34 gtt, an Evo x, and an imported diesel Land Cruiser. My wife drives a Camry and asked for an upgrade so now I have find her something to drive. So thank you for bringing an old tuner back from the dead so I can waste my daughter’s college tuition on having fun. Hopefully we can catch up if you are ever in NC or New York when I’m in the Hamptons, I have a cool place for you to check out when it opens.
Vin, all your past cars / builds is what has drawn me to be a fan of yours, just keep building cars that you want to build and the cars that you are capable of building. That’s what will keep me watching. Hard to relate to some of these RUclips guys that have massive teams and shops. You will get there some day but just keeping building the cars you want, and we will keep watching. Love the vids, excited for what’s to come.
Man, that's so frustrating with that guy backing out and changing the agreed upon price. Super frustrating man, but good on you for just powering through it and rising above it. I recently went to go pick up a K24 for a swap i'm doing, but I got there and the guy walks me over to this Civic, motor mounted in the car and to the transmission, and goes "there you go". No communication nor description in the ad said I had to pull it. I drove an hour there and another hour back in my truck, and was so pissed, but you just try to forget and move on. Great work as always man!
Hey Vin! 🎉 Huge congratulations on getting engaged! When you asked her midway through the video what you should do, it was like watching a replay of my own life. My wife and I had the exact same moment, right down to the "you are so smart" comment. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world! Keep those amazing videos coming!
Congrats on the engagement sir! Excellent episode. Just a day to day vlog trying to figure out what to do with a car you really didn't want or need. It worked for me. Keep em comin
Normally, envying something or someone is not a good quality and I don't usually do it. But with Vin, you can get a little jealous. He lives in a cool place, in a really cool house, he has an adorable dog and a really beautiful wife. But above all, he has the best hobby in the world and can live it to the fullest. Just like you always wanted to as a child. The man seems to have done everything right 😊
Love to see the love from the community on this vid. At first i was unsure honestly, but i can say i havent really watched a vdeoo like this before style wize and ended up really liking it. I dig the buy/sell angle at the end because youre honest and good at it. Keep up the awesome work dude; so pumped for you in 2025
Congratulations Vinny!!! Happy you got your lady with you, I say so whatever makes you happiest and spikes the most enthusiasm. We'll just keep on following on
Congrats on the engagement. Thanks for making such likable content. I assume you want people to like it but I feel like you add something that everyone could like even if they aren’t into cars for some crazy reason.
Really appreciated the cost/financial breakdown in this video! I think its something that often gets overlooked in the car build RUclips space As someone that wants to get a second “fun” car it helps me understand what I’m getting myself into
Yaaaaaa buddy congrats on the engagement ! Loved the vid as always too brother , whatever your choice…. Just keep it Vin stay true to you, that’s why we’re here. Love and respect !
As soon as you mentioned the deposit and driving to Vegas I remembered you talking abt the situation on a podcast a few weeks ago and my heart dropped for a second
Congrats to you and Amy. Good move talking it over with her. There is nothing more important than that relationship, and if you can’t work together on these types of things you would be married to the wrong person. Good episode
@@vin_tra wouldn't be surprised if it's because you've put chatgpt in the title, youtube titles are weird like that. Zach from TST mentioned having a GR Corolla vs BRZ video underperforming and they changed the BRZ bit to GR86 for shits and giggles. Added like 20% more views to the video within a week or so lol
Congratulations on your engagement. Also if you have your heart and mind in for a build, I'm sure us RUclips watchers will watch. Can't wate to see the future of your channel.
Congrats on the engagement! Also unironically, the two people with the most practical opinions happen to be the people you're around(on the channel) the most. Two sides giving you solid options. On to the next project, a second ferrari (cuz Amy approved)
Keep it up Vin, glad to see you in the RUclips scene. Super likeable guy, well spoken and just all around good vibes. Your videos bring a smile to my gloomy days, so thank you for that.
These are so interesting to me. it's really common for car YT'ers to showcase what it's like to own a car, but not necessarily what it's like to buy and sell a car. I think that this niche is what ChatGPT missed haha. I just went throught this whole process with my new to me car. Bagged myself a '23 Elantra N (if you're in TN, let's go to Tail of the Dragon some time. Or..... Corvette Museum's racetrack in KY? They have open track days literally every day of the week). Have it on 17's with a beefier tire and a cold air intake. Loving it as a daily driver. Cheers, mate. Keep pressing publish. I'm a fan.
2UR-GSE swap into the IS. Go take a listen to the Novel Japan equal length/titanium full exhaust equipped cars. GLORIOUS, would be even more so with a proper transmission behind it. Well….the 8 spd auto in the Lexus is actually a fantastic transmission, especially for its time and that it was shifting almost as fast an an 8HP back in 2008. But a true manual behind that engine would really do the noise the justice it deserves
Good decision Vin, I’d have done the same thing. Looks like you got yourself a good one there, always great when they want to join in the hobbies cuz us boys need our hobbies! 😆 Now you need to get that VW going!! I had an ‘89 and wish I could have another one! Can’t wait to see more on that!
Keep the story telling, and the refreshing video ideas that set you apart. I watched through the whole 24 minute thing. Nice to see Amy in a vid every once in a while.
Some people just plain suck at life. I wouldn't have sold that first dude the car either...surprised you even sent him the full deposit back. You are nicer than I am 😅 Keep up the solid content. Love it 👍👍👍
Great ep! Felt really organic going to talk to the boys (and girl). Also like how you directly addressed what happened with the fool in Vegas. Classy that you didn't name names or keep his deposit. Seems like the right decision re: the car. If you're engaged and excited, that's going to come across to your audience.
As slightly bummed as I am about no 1J Lexus content, your engagement/marriage announcement more than makes up for. Congrats you two! So happy for yall!
Congratulations on the engagement! I think you made the right choice on the wagon. As cool as wagons are, I'm not sure if the views would offset the build cost.
You’re a good dude because I would’ve kept at least $60/hr out of that deposit for my time spent on that. Closer to $100/hr for that kinda work tbh. Now more 360 content please😬
Nice work Vin, very entertaining and hits home! Unfortunately I feel like we all get too practical with age when it comes to projects cars, I miss being dumb and naive haha
Like you, I'll never understand people who are SELLING something that costs multiple thousands of dollars, and don't bother to take a little time to just clean the damn thing. I sold a car and took more care to actually clean it, make it look as best it could, take clean pictures of it, HIGHLIGHTED all the flaws so there would be no surprises at time of arrival, and sold it for $1500 TWICE (long story) and NO QUESTIONS ASKED both times! Both times, they saw the ad, looked at the car, said they'd take it, no haggling or anything.
Keep the is 300 wagon 🔥 it’s so good. You can load all your spare tires in the back drive it to the track have a blast while looking good and the car’s already got the manual swap the wheels and suspension
Vinny! Congrats on your engagement! "About Damm Time" Lebron voice lol. Anyway, liked this reality show-style vlog! Keep it up. As for the IS, 1500 is not a bad loss. everybody knows sometimes when you modify, you might not get your money's worth. Stay cool ✌️
There is NO WAY I would have given that guy his whole deposit. I would have taken some for my time and gas. Excited to hear about the car you're picking up. I literally yelled "REALLY?" when you said we had to wait for a different episode to know what the car is. HAHA
Such a good video! Opening it up to the homies and the AI robots for guidance, haha.. Ultimately human intelligence won out! Props to Amy! (...and for green lighting another Ferrari) 🤘🏼⚡
Let it be known, we have recorded proof that Amy agreed Vin can get another Ferrari.
pinned so she knows
Dude. Amy 1000% percent. Women know. My wife could have saved me TONS of money, time, energy and emotions if I simply did one thing: LISTEN TO HER. Happy wife, happy life.
Don’t Fix It, VR6 It - These words never let me down…wait?!?
Twin VR6 it, has enough boot space for a second VR6 then you got a killer all wheel drive VR12 Lexus
You need to put this on a shirt
Just one? you are getting old
If you gaff tape a SM7B to your chest can you be convinced that finishing the AEVR6 is actually podcasting?
says the guy who has like 40 cars STILL not running!!!!!

You forgot a package shot

@andrewy3711 why did you have to remind us 😂
First, congrats to you and Amy! That’s huge and you two make an incredible couple.
Second, Jolly’s laugh is uber contagious. Love it.
Third, you have all the right in the world to be super pissed about wasting your time/money on a trip to Vegas for someone to not only lowball you but also insult you by trying to force a deal just because you were there… good on ya for not flaming him like many others would.
Fourth, Scotto!
Fifth, and last but not least, I’m really excited to see what replaces the wagon. I personally love those things and the manual swap would perfect it assuming the clutch wasn’t such a pain.
Thanks for another great upload!
tytytyty!
I love that Vin is openly trying to justify owning multiple vehicles, just like the rest of us.
"All right boys and girl" - underrated line of the video.
I know my audience
@@vin_tra the girl is just a dude logged into his girls/sisters account while watching
we exist 💮✨
I HATE ads that don't list the transmission. As you might know, 90% of C6 Corvettes are automatic but you have to scroll through the pictures to find it.
Even worse is when they list a paddle shifted automatic as a manual.
I found that e46 m3 are also awful because the auto is still somewhat a manual so I also need to look through the photos
but when you find the one listed as an auto but its not.... MONEYYYYYY
@@vin_tra truth!
@@vin_tra I thought I had one of those with a yellow Boxster and was *this* close to going out to buy an auto boxster with a bad transmission before I realized it was in fact auto. Luckily the seller also barely responded to messages lol
Vin I don't know how you do it but even an episode that has as simple of a premise as just deciding if you wnat to sell a car or not is so fun to watch and has great storytelling. So happy that you started this channel and have been enjoying the vids thoroughly
this dude is super talented! I would clown this as a filler episode by any other creator (except Cleetus), but it’s super entertaining
thanks man!!
@@PlaneJaneCars haha hell ya. my whole life is filler. But i try to make it fun for you guys
@@vin_tra mission accomplished bro
Love how 'Champ Hauler' is a classification. And congrats!
That's kinda sad, I've been looking forward to IS300 Sportcross build so much. But if you think you're not really into it anymore and it' be better to sell it, I'm ok with that
its on to a good owner!
Congrats to you and Amy!!
Solid advice from Ron, sell it and buy an Evo
It's always the answer
Let’s go vin loved this episode and how it was set up og hoonigan vibes keep it up my guy I feel like your crushing it 24:25

Loved this episode! It had it all...a monster evo, a Porsche and THREE BMW's. Plus Ron and Brian and Champ. So much good.
I recall hearing the Vegas buyer story on the TST pod. Still so wild.
that dude sucks. I wanna out him so bad but i wont
@@vin_trado it,save others from the same issue
@@vin_tra it’s ok, you can admit Kikawa moved to Vegas and lowballed you
And for those of you who are dumb and find this comment: this was a joke.
You're nicer than i would be, lol @@vin_tra
Congrats on the engagement sir! Excellent episode. Just a day to day vlog trying to figure out what to do with a car you really didn't want or need. It worked for me. Keep em comin

Bro, this is one of my favorite videos you’ve put out. I hope it gets the love it deserves. You and Jolly are killing it.
I’ve watched every ep of your vlog. This is my favorite. I really enjoyed you polling your crew
Dude your taste in cars and mods are perfect. Not cookie cutter. Unique. I love it
I woulda taken the gas bill out of his deposit!
Stoked to see whatcha got, Vinny! Gotta do what ya gotta do to do what you want to do! Lol Love what you’re doin, man! 🤘🏻 Much love and luck! 🤙🏻
Damn man, your killing it. A+ video, and congratulations on the engagement!

This is his best video yet and will be the most watched video he's done so far. Love the content keep it up.
I’m actually sharing this to friends - which I never have. The part where he’s pissed about the Vegas trip is sooooo real!
@@PlaneJaneCars you could definitely see it in his face and expression. Usually he's happy and smiling but that was pissed Vin for real
lowest performing video though crazy

Congrats on the engagement! Can't wait to see the next project!
Love the content, the house design, the cars, the insight &or knowledge also video flow. Kinda like old Hoon ish, DT episodes.
Good decision Vin, I’d have done the same thing. Looks like you got yourself a good one there, always great when they want to join in the hobbies cuz us boys need our hobbies! 😆 Now you need to get that VW going!! I had an ‘89 and wish I could have another one! Can’t wait to see more on that!
Vin has officially mastered the RUclipsr voice and energy
Champ is a good boy
Congrats to you and Amy!! Also, Champ's opinion is the only one that matters really, just sell all cars and buy 3 more Raptors.
Great as always! Hopefully Champ can come along on some speed hauls on the next build.
Keep the story telling, and the refreshing video ideas that set you apart. I watched through the whole 24 minute thing. Nice to see Amy in a vid every once in a while.

The production on this was impeccable. Thank you for all your hard work.
I want to see a video on importing parts. Where, how, what, etc. It could be a nice touch to the GTI build!
Great ep! Felt really organic going to talk to the boys (and girl).
Also like how you directly addressed what happened with the fool in Vegas. Classy that you didn't name names or keep his deposit.
Seems like the right decision re: the car. If you're engaged and excited, that's going to come across to your audience.
Love this type of content. This is literally my friend group to a T. Keep up the good content 🔥
As slightly bummed as I am about no 1J Lexus content, your engagement/marriage announcement more than makes up for. Congrats you two! So happy for yall!
Haha same but I’ll have 1 better soon
What a G! Keep up the great Teamwork.

Just bought an is300 myself! So need some tips as well! Gonna be following along brotha
the shopify sock in the start is foreshadowing to the sponsor, love these little hints in recent uploads
i love these socks tbh!
Nice work Vin, very entertaining and hits home! Unfortunately I feel like we all get too practical with age when it comes to projects cars, I miss being dumb and naive haha
Sameeee. If I had more time and energy I’d be down
Thanks for the upload Vin! Nice one keep up the awesome work much love from the UK ❤
Congratulations to Vin and Amy! Best wishes to the happy couple and Champ the dog on his choice of vehicle.
Congrats on the engagement Vin and Amy 🎉
Congratulations on the proposal!!! What a giant leap in life. Proud of both of you!
Dude congratulations. We just hit our 5yr anniversary and going strong!
Les gooo🔥🔥🤙finally some more drivers era merch🤙🔥sick video as always vin
Like you, I'll never understand people who are SELLING something that costs multiple thousands of dollars, and don't bother to take a little time to just clean the damn thing. I sold a car and took more care to actually clean it, make it look as best it could, take clean pictures of it, HIGHLIGHTED all the flaws so there would be no surprises at time of arrival, and sold it for $1500 TWICE (long story) and NO QUESTIONS ASKED both times! Both times, they saw the ad, looked at the car, said they'd take it, no haggling or anything.
bro i saw a dude trying to sell a gt3 with 1 potato pic and i was like how
@vin_tra the question is, did he?
Keep the is 300 wagon 🔥 it’s so good. You can load all your spare tires in the back drive it to the track have a blast while looking good and the car’s already got the manual swap the wheels and suspension
I liked it bro, kept me in suspense the whole time 😂
I'm so happy any time Scotto makes an appearance haha. Can never get enough of the ballast boys.
Ogshaefchen just put ZF8 transmission on the supera and its kinda rowdy
Love Ron. "Get an Evo!" lol Congrats on the engagement too my dude :) Cant wait to se what's next
Congrats to you and Amy!
Vinny! Congrats on your engagement! "About Damm Time" Lebron voice lol. Anyway, liked this reality show-style vlog! Keep it up. As for the IS, 1500 is not a bad loss. everybody knows sometimes when you modify, you might not get your money's worth. Stay cool ✌️
actually forgot i bought a swap harness for 1k that i cant return so hopefully i can sell it
Dude you did champ dirty! Teasing him with a walk like that
Awww... congrats Vin (and Amy)!!!
keep up the awesome content Vinny !
Love the content! Very unique my guy.
I love that this is really a secret highlight of all your homies cool projects.
The whole ex hoon crews vids are amazing. Please keep em coming!
Wait up where’s Vinny, Vinn, and all the guys? Lolol
slackers
That was an awesome idea bro.
There is NO WAY I would have given that guy his whole deposit. I would have taken some for my time and gas. Excited to hear about the car you're picking up. I literally yelled "REALLY?" when you said we had to wait for a different episode to know what the car is. HAHA
Storyline and production last few videos has been top class!
I always enjoy your content man!
Such a good video! Opening it up to the homies and the AI robots for guidance, haha.. Ultimately human intelligence won out! Props to Amy! (...and for green lighting another Ferrari) 🤘🏼⚡
Unique content and always great to watch . Thank you
