@@dekoldrick I thought the muscle car cornering weakness is more that the tires and suspension aren't (or weren't) conducive to it. Lots of 3500-4000 lb cars handle fantastically today, even 20 years ago. Even 50 years ago, when modded. I would've thought the Smart would be the one whose CoG works against it, with those van-like proportions. I didn't know short wheelbase is bad for cornering either.
Legit if I lowered my poor Turbo X, I couldn't use it for work or even get it home without scraping. Also, another thing. Most of the built not bought people really just paid a shop to do the work, they don't usually spend hours of dirty, tiring, and often times bloody work tearing through a shitbox. Built means your OWN hands did the work.

That "yOu'Re jUsT jEaLoUs" argument is incredibly annoying. You know those overused Land Rover jokes you find whenever a video contains even the slightest mention of a Land Cruiser? Those jokes are made ten times as infuriating when you see someone spamming stuff like "cAnT aFfOrd oNe hUh?" in the replies. You can just picture them grinning smugly in front of their computer while typing something like that.
I think I saw a sticker saying, "If you listen closely you can hear a Land Cruiser rusting in the distance". As you can tell, I'm a big Land Rover fan, but at least Land Cruisers don't break down every 4 minutes.
On the same note as modding vs stock, I knew a guy in high school that said “Why would I buy a Dodge Demon when I can mod my Eagle Talon to beat the Demon. Even if you did, how long will it last? How much maintenance will it need? How comfortable is it going to be? He was also one of those that said that he will never buy a Dodge Durango because he has one and it broke down. When I knew him, he drove a 2013 Mazda 3 and CONSTANTLY did burnouts in it. It’s like no wonder your Durango broke down because you abused the hell out of it
Buying stock performance vehicles is essentially sharing the engineering costs with everyone else who buys the same vehicle. Gaining performance is easy, but gaining performance while having good reliability is very difficult. I've seen so many car enthusiasts who haven't the slightest idea that pumping out more power with engine mods would require more than stock cooling. Most people who track their cars a lot are very conservative with power mods for this reason.
i really hope we all can be nice to one another and respect each other’s preferences. after all, we love cars and that’s the whole point of being part of the car community.
To some extent ribbing on people for their car/modding choices IS the car community, Ford vs Chevy rivalry IS the car community, RWD/AWD/FWD is the car community, Redbull vs. Merc vs. Ferrari is the car community... You don't have to be a dick but you have to be free to have opinions and a sense of humor or else there is no point.

I recently bought a 1992 Camaro 1LE and I know absolutely nothing about cars this channels so good for learning what to do and where to steer clear from. One thing I hate is all of the attention the car gets like I get tones of car enthusiasts telling me what to do and what to buy
this reminds me of a discussion me and my frends were having of me in my home state of NY. the way our mandatory yearly inspections are done absolutely requires being plugged into a OBDII port to read data directly from the computers. it pulls vehicle specific info (such as the VIN) which makes it difficult to impossible to fake. we were the first country to mandate OBDII in '96 and NY has changed the inspection requirements to end the 25 year exemption, now it's anything '96 or newer MUST always maintain emissions compliance. the exact point of discussion is if someone wanted to import either an R33 or R34 skyline once it turns 25. despite being legal for import, due to the fact Japan didn't have OBDII mandated at that time means the car would never be capable of passing an inspection here, thus would never be road legal, with no easy way around this.
The traditional definition was: Building an otherwise slow (or outdated) car to be faster than it's competitors for a fraction of the price. For example. Building an old Hot Rod to be as fast as a Supercar without spending the obscene price of "buying" the supercar but instead "building" your own car. Great definition isn't it? Now it's just "Yeah bro, I'm lowered and have rep wheels, BUILT. Bladed's Anime Corvette? Well it's not lowered, so it's BOUGHT."
@@BladedAngel I always knew that the built vs. bought thing revolved around the first definition, but never knew its meaning had devolved into something so stupid.

I was driving on the highway the other day and a high school kid had a stock 1999 Toyota Celica GT and I was driving my 2015 Dodge Challenger scat pack. I thought that kid has a pretty damn cool car so I pulled up and gave him a thumbs up and went on my way. I could see him and his buddy hyping each other up and giving the smiling harder than I've seen. It wasn't a fast car or in the best condition, hell it may have had over 100K, and he may have found it for dirt cheap. But it was his car, he probably looked back at it every time he got out of it and gave him an immense amount of joy. It reminded me of my first and second car, an '02 Ram 1500 SLT single cab and a '93 Wrangler YJ 4.0L Manual, we all start somewhere and this kid started at a pretty cool spot in my opinion.
I love me some fast ass wagons, got into them when a dude I went high school with slapped a turbo k20 A in a volvo 240 estate. Not the fastest car, sure as shit would shock the hell out of a few muscle heads.
Thank you for your words on Itasha wraps. I really want to get an Itasha wrap and drive around Atlanta but I am afraid of what people might say. However, the word "Itasha" literally means painful car, so some people who looks at your car are lowkey meant to cringe and you're right, you can't make everyone happy, and why should I?
people: * buys car and lowers it and calls it a build * me (when i get car): *R A L L Y T U N I N G* * does not call it build cause it's just bought and tuned *
I'm getting a lot of people getting mad for me on that entry saying, "It is a build, anything you do is a build" as they take their car to the shop and get it installed for them... Those are the same people telling me, "Anime cars aren't a build" despite the hypocritical "anything you do is a build" mentioned just above. They can't have their cake and eat it...either I'm also a build just like them, _or neither of us are._ Restoring a Classic, Tuning a Hotrod, Rebuilding an Old Engine. Making a Kit Car. Those are all builds. Changing wheels shouldn't be a build. Literally anyone with hands can do that. It may sound gatekeeping, but again, this stems from the stupid treatment I've gotten. They say I'm no ta build, but then proceed to have less mods than me....so what is a build then? it's all like how "Clean" used to be so overused and so convoluted before people finally gave up and said, "It just means cool" and soon "Build" probably will mean the same thing. It'll just mean a set of mods they think is, "cool"
@@BladedAngel It's not gatekeeping. People call my car a build, and it's just not. I have wheels, tints, a $40 EZ-Lip, a strut bar and an exhaust. That's not a build. Fuck anyone that says it's gatekeeping. The car community might be more toxic than the metal and punk communities, and I always thought they were hard to beat. Your video was 100% right bro.
Built vs bought - I respect both, but different kinds of respect. Bought cars I respect for having enough money, built cars I respect for having the skills and confidence necessary to build a car.
Most of the built cars drive like crap because the owner does not have hundreds of engineers and hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on advanced engineering. Slightly modifying on the basis of a good design is quite easy, but actually doing things like putting a LS engine inside a miata would not yield productive performance gains.
I build out of necessity. Any time I buy a car, even new, I ALWAYS get a lemon. I’ve just accepted a “fuck it” outlook, and I go through them from the ground up.
I'm not sure if it is a tremec t56 transmission, but if it is, I believe the highway cruising gear is 0.50, compared to a typical ratio of 0.67-0.75, tho some the new 8 and 10 spd transmissions are using 0.63 and such... but not 0.50. part of the reason for that is because you are reducing the torque multiplication by so much it becomes difficult to move the vehicle without lugging it, which is both hard on the engine and you actually don't get as good as fuel economy as you would expect. Fuel economy is a balanced bias between RPM and load, it is not purely based upon RPM alone. If that was the case you would get better fuel economy going uphill at 1,200 RPM then you would on flat ground at 1600 RPM... and that doesn't happen. His Corvette is light enough and aerodynamic enough that it does not put up much resistance to cruising at highway speed, and therefore an extremely low cruising gear ratio can be used, on top of the fact that his Corvette makes a lot of low-end torque which means that it's not struggling to make power either at that low of an rpm. As somebody who has only ever owned trucks & SUV's, I have constantly achieved better fuel economy by using a lower "towing" gear ratio than the base equipment "highway" gearing. 3.42 to 3.55 stock gears has always given me less performance AND less fuel economy than 3.73-4.10 gear. I've always gained about 1-2 mpg across the board going to shorter gearing. Now part of that also is due to old 90s tech engines without VVT, VVL, active this and that, etc. I'm sure having cam phasing optimizing the valve timing advance or retard would help offset that a fair deal, but still. 3.42 -> 3.73, 3.55-> 4.10, 3.30 - 3.73, and 3.55 -> 3.92 (& 2" shorter tires) has given me better fuel economy every time. Trucks put up a lot of rolling resistance through aerodynamics and just heavy overall curb weight and therefore makes sense they'd benefit from more torque multiplication thru gearing than a lightweight aerodynamic car would.
I saw a protest and they were basically saying “GiT RiD Of JaPaNEsE CaRS In AmERIcA” That means bye-bye Supra, R34, 370Z, GTR, RX-7, Evo, Wrx, and more.
bye-bye Toyota Camry, one of the highest selling and most popular cars in the world for the kind of people who just want a fuel efficient grocery getter/pseudo sport sedan (if XSE). Great idea.
Hope they like replacing an American car ever 5 years due to poor reliability. I'll hold on to my 28 year old Japanese car with over 300,000 miles on the original motor.
I one time built a 1932 Ford in car mechanic simulator 2018. I was originally going to paint it black, but then just to stick it to people, I painted it hot pink
I'm 20 and bought my 05 CLS 55 Amg at 19 and everybody says that its daddys money or illegal money like drugs and shit. I just work 2 jobs and safe as much as possible🤷♂️ (live in Germany)
5:45 bladed you missed the whole point. The reason people say that is so they can explain why a stock Supra lost to a stock Lamborghini. The only reason the argument is dumb is because that argument gets completely obliterated when you say “aight so add those mods to the Lamborghini to make it fair then see who wins for the 30th time in a row”. Then the 12 year old realizes fast and furious isn’t a reflection of real life.
That last part, I think it's safe to say that it applies to not only cars, but everything in life. People are gonna judge you, but as long as you enjoy being you, yourself, it doesn't really matter.
My 20 year old Opel Omega is technically lowered. Time and use has "modded" some new shapes to the chassi and bumpers. So I guess its a build then by some peoples logic XD
Those "built vs bought" guys are a pain in the ass. Lowering your car isn't a build. I'm in the middle of restoring my AMC Javelin SST. I'm proud to say she finally friggin runs again! Mostly. I got it going and the water pump went. Bit still, me and my buddy have been working on it for about 6 months. THAT is a build. A rebuild, but a build regardless. Just lowering a car and new rims isn't a build.
I love it when people downplay my G35 as a junk car but I’m not the one still making payments on a 2019 Kia Sonata. Also Update on G35. ITS CLOSE TO STARTING!
Isn’t kinda hypocritical to say someone else’s car is junk because they are leasing it but your car isn’t running? Not trying to hate but I feel like I know what you meant, but your comment doesn’t really make sense and seems more or less ironic. Even if someone is still paying off a new car in question does that matter? You’re putting money into your car, and they are putting money into their car. I just don’t see the insult to this not everyone wants a project car so ofc they will see it as “junk” and a waste. Most people can’t imagine the time and money it takes to build a car. Same reason I’m guessing you think leasing a new car is a waste. The interest, and depreciation you take on when getting a new car is immense, but at least you are getting a new car that you don’t have to worry about repairs mechanically, and internally at least for most new cars. (And no I’m not a 2019 Kia Sonta owner lol)
Dude…. This is the first video of you that I’m watching and i got to say three things: 1. I totally agree with this video 2. Your car looks fucking amazing. This is the style i want for my car and seeing this just makes me happy. 3. Subbed
Facebook: Hotbed of antivax conspiracy theories. Twitter: Cancels people for the smallest things and makes everything political. Reddit: Thousands of people who have never touched grass. RUclips: Nothing much wrong with it, except forr the ads.
Ok, I hear you. I personally don't want a new car for myself, but that's my taste. I'm nostalgic, and I like the simplicity. However, I will concede that new cars are better in almost every way. Safety, efficiency, comfort, power, handling, reliability... new cars win. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to trade their ride for mine. X3
for the record, that one about "builds" applies to expensive cars too. Just bacause you spent 30k on exhaust, wheels, and wing for a huracan or 720s doesn't make it a build either, even if you put them on in your garage.
I agree with you on the built not bought shit but imma respect a car built by the owner more than a bought car, provided its actually built like you said. Ill never put someone down for buying a car ive done it myself, but also having done the work of building a car putting the hours and busted knuckles in im just going to respect that grind so much more.
Dang it now im keeping my El Camino and gonna start and finish that build, gonna start with a carburated 305 sbc and work my way up to a 454 bbc or ls, maybe a 572 if im that stupid about the build but i wanna turn it into something that is a blast to drive, and possibly can handle itself on a track
You hit the nail on the head. So many good points. I’ve had nice sports cars since I was 22. I was a career firefighter and we make good money, so I was fortunate to be able to do that without college. I was told I was a drug dealer, used my parents money, won a lawsuit or lottery - all kinds of crap. Once I got my firefighter plates, folks left me alone and the rumors stopped lol. Far as mods go, all of my cars look 100% stock - wheels, body, suspension - however, I build the power trains soup to nuts. No one would suspect that my rather mundane looking sedan has somewhere north of 1000hp lol. Anywho, great video and your Vette loose sick 👍🏽
One meme I can't stand anymore is that over used Supra meme were if you mod a Supra it becomes the fastest thing ever, it's not and it's over used and annoying, I mean I like Supras but this meme is just over used

I have a friend who just bought a 2020 Kia Forte GT and he was so excited about it until the guys at his local car meet that had 90s Hondas crapped on his car and he stopped going to car meets. This video resonates with me.
Thank you Bladed Angel. I think suvs and cuvs are so popular right now is because people follow trends, I personally hate them. Give me a hard to get in and out low to the ground sports car any day of the week
The main problem with kids having sports cars/muscle cars is immaturity and irresponsibility, though that can be helped with responsible parenting. Otherwise, "daddy's money" really just seems like bitterness and jealousy that the kid was raised by a wealthy (or at least well-off) family. They didn't ask for it, it's just what they got, and expecting rich/well-off kids to not enjoy their financially stable upbringing is dumb. Long as they aren't assholes to the 'poor kids,' who cares?
I love when I could just talk with other people about there cars, and not really have one or the other judge. I also love it when people just share ideas around. Some customization you probably didn’t of doing until you saw them or someone recommended it and it inspired you to make that customization. That is what I enjoyed more than anything.
How to stop the built vs bought thing: Gallardo/Huracan: send to ugr. Viper: send to Calvo motorsports. GTR: send to alphalogic/real st. Get car back and beat the living daylights out of anything at the meet.
Bought a '21 6spd Mustang GT in Grabber Yellow & Black at the age of 25. Every statement you've made in this video I've experienced in just over 3 months of ownership. None of it matters though, as long as you enjoy your car and you're content with the decisions you've made. To be honest, my greatest excitement is coming from the fact that it's going to be super cool driving my kid around in it. I was blown away the first time I heard a V8 when I was a kid, so I'm hoping mine will eventually share my enthusiasm for car culture as well!
4. Is true, I bought my first car at 18, it was a 2009 c63 Amg with 80k miles for $17K. I invested my money and got a part time job at 16 and got my dream car.

As someone in the UK I can't even think about modding a car because my insurance will make me financially instable, xd but getting a nice factory car is so much better and practical for some people.
My dad has a BMW 135i track build, a lot of the weight has been stripped from it, there’s a roll cage, multiple engine mods including a larger turbo and dyno tunes. The car looks almost completely stock from the outside, the only thing that makes it look different is it’s a bit lower, there’s 2 functional cooling vents, and it sounds a lot better. And if you see this Bladed, have you ever watched Naruto? Btw great video.
About that "build" part: my Beetle isn't actually restored, just used with care. So, it is not a build, even with different tires and paint. A real build is something like my all-terrain kart. I wanted something cheaper, but as good as regular karts, so i bought an engine, some used parts in the scrapyard, some metal and started actually *building* it (This was the only comparison i remembered right now)
Those sorts of people are never worth making friends over or spending your time on. Just make something that fills you to the brim with joy (so long as you're not doing anything illegal or dangerous) and nothing else matters!
In my opinion the impressive thing with builds, be that built builds or bought builds, is they way all the parts come together. Choosing cosmetics that go well together, choosing performance parts with the right priorities for the use case. If the same person who figured it out payed for and bolted them on or not I personally don't care for
Funnily enough the people that use the "you're just jealous" statement are also the people that haven't worked a day in their life and just sit there on their arse all day.
When you talked about young guys with nice car I literally thought : I worked in a military base and a lot of kids there had nice mustangs or big dodge or Chrysler and Subaru BRZ. And that was just before you talked about friends you had that were in the military.

For your number 4 here, i can relate to this. Im 16 and i have a 2015 lexus is350 f sport AWD. My dad has a 2020 Supra (fbo tuned) im not going to get into that. What im trying to say is that since i just got my license i have all my (now fake friends that i dont care about) essentially being mad that i own my car, so they keep saying “daddys money” and too many things along the line of it. Im extremely fortunate to have this start in life and I realize that. But the fact that we all cant just enjoy eachothers cars is behond me. My friend just got a fusion for 14 grand and im not over here making fun of him, im happy that he finally got his first car. Respect everyone for who they are, not what they have.

Legit if I lowered my poor Turbo X, I couldn't use it for work or even get it home without scraping.
Also, another thing. Most of the built not bought people really just paid a shop to do the work, they don't usually spend hours of dirty, tiring, and often times bloody work tearing through a shitbox. Built means your OWN hands did the work.

On the same note as modding vs stock, I knew a guy in high school that said “Why would I buy a Dodge Demon when I can mod my Eagle Talon to beat the Demon. Even if you did, how long will it last? How much maintenance will it need? How comfortable is it going to be? He was also one of those that said that he will never buy a Dodge Durango because he has one and it broke down. When I knew him, he drove a 2013 Mazda 3 and CONSTANTLY did burnouts in it. It’s like no wonder your Durango broke down because you abused the hell out of it
Buying stock performance vehicles is essentially sharing the engineering costs with everyone else who buys the same vehicle. Gaining performance is easy, but gaining performance while having good reliability is very difficult. I've seen so many car enthusiasts who haven't the slightest idea that pumping out more power with engine mods would require more than stock cooling. Most people who track their cars a lot are very conservative with power mods for this reason.
i really hope we all can be nice to one another and respect each other’s preferences. after all, we love cars and that’s the whole point of being part of the car community.

"they may live in a country that doesn't even allow modding" *cries in french*

@@BladedAngel oeuf!
this reminds me of a discussion me and my frends were having of me in my home state of NY. the way our mandatory yearly inspections are done absolutely requires being plugged into a OBDII port to read data directly from the computers. it pulls vehicle specific info (such as the VIN) which makes it difficult to impossible to fake. we were the first country to mandate OBDII in '96 and NY has changed the inspection requirements to end the 25 year exemption, now it's anything '96 or newer MUST always maintain emissions compliance.
the exact point of discussion is if someone wanted to import either an R33 or R34 skyline once it turns 25. despite being legal for import, due to the fact Japan didn't have OBDII mandated at that time means the car would never be capable of passing an inspection here, thus would never be road legal, with no easy way around this.

2:11 I thought that argument was about buying a car that was modified, anyways I learned something new today
The traditional definition was: Building an otherwise slow (or outdated) car to be faster than it's competitors for a fraction of the price.
For example. Building an old Hot Rod to be as fast as a Supercar without spending the obscene price of "buying" the supercar but instead "building" your own car.
Great definition isn't it? Now it's just "Yeah bro, I'm lowered and have rep wheels, BUILT. Bladed's Anime Corvette? Well it's not lowered, so it's BOUGHT."
@@BladedAngel I always knew that the built vs. bought thing revolved around the first definition, but never knew its meaning had devolved into something so stupid.
@@BladedAngel I have an idea.
Those guys with lowered Accords who say their car is a bUILd, the only reason they allow themselves to say that is because they know no one would challenge their logic
My idea? Test their knowledge. The next guy in a clapped out Accord who says your Vette is 'bought', say to them you like their 'build' and you want assistance from them to complete a build you have in mind. get in contact with them

I was driving on the highway the other day and a high school kid had a stock 1999 Toyota Celica GT and I was driving my 2015 Dodge Challenger scat pack. I thought that kid has a pretty damn cool car so I pulled up and gave him a thumbs up and went on my way. I could see him and his buddy hyping each other up and giving the smiling harder than I've seen. It wasn't a fast car or in the best condition, hell it may have had over 100K, and he may have found it for dirt cheap. But it was his car, he probably looked back at it every time he got out of it and gave him an immense amount of joy. It reminded me of my first and second car, an '02 Ram 1500 SLT single cab and a '93 Wrangler YJ 4.0L Manual, we all start somewhere and this kid started at a pretty cool spot in my opinion.

I'm getting a lot of people getting mad for me on that entry saying, "It is a build, anything you do is a build" as they take their car to the shop and get it installed for them...
Those are the same people telling me, "Anime cars aren't a build" despite the hypocritical "anything you do is a build" mentioned just above.
They can't have their cake and eat it...either I'm also a build just like them, _or neither of us are._
Restoring a Classic, Tuning a Hotrod, Rebuilding an Old Engine. Making a Kit Car. Those are all builds. Changing wheels shouldn't be a build. Literally anyone with hands can do that. It may sound gatekeeping, but again, this stems from the stupid treatment I've gotten. They say I'm no ta build, but then proceed to have less mods than me....so what is a build then? it's all like how "Clean" used to be so overused and so convoluted before people finally gave up and said, "It just means cool" and soon "Build" probably will mean the same thing. It'll just mean a set of mods they think is, "cool"
@@BladedAngel It's not gatekeeping. People call my car a build, and it's just not. I have wheels, tints, a $40 EZ-Lip, a strut bar and an exhaust. That's not a build.

Built vs bought - I respect both, but different kinds of respect. Bought cars I respect for having enough money, built cars I respect for having the skills and confidence necessary to build a car.
Most of the built cars drive like crap because the owner does not have hundreds of engineers and hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on advanced engineering. Slightly modifying on the basis of a good design is quite easy, but actually doing things like putting a LS engine inside a miata would not yield productive performance gains.
I build out of necessity.
Any time I buy a car, even new, I ALWAYS get a lemon. I’ve just accepted a “fuck it” outlook, and I go through them from the ground up.
Anyone else infatuated by the fact that Bladed's Vette is basically idling at highway speeds. He must get suprising gas mileage
I'm not sure if it is a tremec t56 transmission, but if it is, I believe the highway cruising gear is 0.50, compared to a typical ratio of 0.67-0.75, tho some the new 8 and 10 spd transmissions are using 0.63 and such... but not 0.50. part of the reason for that is because you are reducing the torque multiplication by so much it becomes difficult to move the vehicle without lugging it, which is both hard on the engine and you actually don't get as good as fuel economy as you would expect. Fuel economy is a balanced bias between RPM and load, it is not purely based upon RPM alone. If that was the case you would get better fuel economy going uphill at 1,200 RPM then you would on flat ground at 1600 RPM... and that doesn't happen.
His Corvette is light enough and aerodynamic enough that it does not put up much resistance to cruising at highway speed, and therefore an extremely low cruising gear ratio can be used, on top of the fact that his Corvette makes a lot of low-end torque which means that it's not struggling to make power either at that low of an rpm.
As somebody who has only ever owned trucks & SUV's, I have constantly achieved better fuel economy by using a lower "towing" gear ratio than the base equipment "highway" gearing. 3.42 to 3.55 stock gears has always given me less performance AND less fuel economy than 3.73-4.10 gear. I've always gained about 1-2 mpg across the board going to shorter gearing.
Now part of that also is due to old 90s tech engines without VVT, VVL, active this and that, etc. I'm sure having cam phasing optimizing the valve timing advance or retard would help offset that a fair deal, but still.
3.42 -> 3.73, 3.55-> 4.10, 3.30 - 3.73, and 3.55 -> 3.92 (& 2" shorter tires) has given me better fuel economy every time. Trucks put up a lot of rolling resistance through aerodynamics and just heavy overall curb weight and therefore makes sense they'd benefit from more torque multiplication thru gearing than a lightweight aerodynamic car would.

Isn’t kinda hypocritical to say someone else’s car is junk because they are leasing it but your car isn’t running? Not trying to hate but I feel like I know what you meant, but your comment doesn’t really make sense and seems more or less ironic.
Even if someone is still paying off a new car in question does that matter? You’re putting money into your car, and they are putting money into their car. I just don’t see the insult to this not everyone wants a project car so ofc they will see it as “junk” and a waste. Most people can’t imagine the time and money it takes to build a car. Same reason I’m guessing you think leasing a new car is a waste. The interest, and depreciation you take on when getting a new car is immense, but at least you are getting a new car that you don’t have to worry about repairs mechanically, and internally at least for most new cars.

It's pretty much always daddy's money when teenagers have mustangs
The main problem with kids having sports cars/muscle cars is immaturity and irresponsibility, though that can be helped with responsible parenting. Otherwise, "daddy's money" really just seems like bitterness and jealousy that the kid was raised by a wealthy (or at least well-off) family. They didn't ask for it, it's just what they got, and expecting rich/well-off kids to not enjoy their financially stable upbringing is dumb. Long as they aren't assholes to the 'poor kids,' who cares?
I love when I could just talk with other people about there cars, and not really have one or the other judge. I also love it when people just share ideas around. Some customization you probably didn’t of doing until you saw them or someone recommended it and it inspired you to make that customization. That is what I enjoyed more than anything.

About that "build" part: my Beetle isn't actually restored, just used with care. So, it is not a build, even with different tires and paint. A real build is something like my all-terrain kart. I wanted something cheaper, but as good as regular karts, so i bought an engine, some used parts in the scrapyard, some metal and started actually *building* it (This was the only comparison i remembered right now)
Those sorts of people are never worth making friends over or spending your time on. Just make something that fills you to the brim with joy (so long as you're not doing anything illegal or dangerous) and nothing else matters!
In my opinion the impressive thing with builds, be that built builds or bought builds, is they way all the parts come together. Choosing cosmetics that go well together, choosing performance parts with the right priorities for the use case. If the same person who figured it out payed for and bolted them on or not I personally don't care for

I hate the daddy's money argument so much man , since when did we live in a world where having a loving father that is willing to spend money on you, let alone get you a nice car, and make you happy is a bad thing. Like wth man
Definitely wasn’t expecting those cars to have an anime build😂 your corvette is heat tho, keep being you Bladed🔥
Are you talking about the 904 banditz at 7:50 ? I’m in Jacksonville and we constantly clown these guys because they make the car scene hot af and it’s bad to the point where it’s on the news
what im constantly tired of hearing is others trying to dunk on NA powered cars (usually having 6-10 cylinders) with their 4cyl turbocharged cars. like yea i wouldnt be surprised that a turbo'd car has a higher power output than NA--its TURBO'd.
My style of modifying a car is based on improving its abilities or mitigating or eliminate weaknesses so others see it and think theres not much done.
I usually just keep replying "so?" to the point where they just insult me, my mom, the race that I'm not, and then i say "so?"
5:54 Here we can't even swap an old original part for a new original part (like literally the same part) without passing inspection, because it is seen as a "modification that can affect the way the car handles". Pretty sad actually.
For your number 4 here, i can relate to this. Im 16 and i have a 2015 lexus is350 f sport AWD. My dad has a 2020 Supra (fbo tuned) im not going to get into that. What im trying to say is that since i just got my license i have all my (now fake friends that i dont care about) essentially being mad that i own my car, so they keep saying “daddys money” and too many things along the line of it. Im extremely fortunate to have this start in life and I realize that. But the fact that we all cant just enjoy eachothers cars is behond me. My friend just got a fusion for 14 grand and im not over here making fun of him, im happy that he finally got his first car. Respect everyone for who they are, not what they have.
*Built, bought, it doesn’t matter. What matters is if you know how to drive it like it’s supposed to be driven.*
Very well spoken. You are spot on every point. I'm more then 2 decades older then you, and you give me hope that there will a positive, common sense- having car community in the next generation. ...STAY OFF FACEBOOK, it'll only bring you down
