    Since watching him on RUclips. I have learned a lot of what he does. For me. I like cars. Why I say " Cars my thing." Not just the cars themselves. But the business and cars shows, etc. So much about cars. So watching Flying Wheels on RUclips helps myself.
    Being a autistic adult. I have graduated high-school. Some college. Worked many places. And interviews and fitting in isn't easy. But autistic people not just myself are smart. "Unique."
    So watching Flying Wheels on RUclips is great to watch, learn and let's me continue to learn about cars and the automotive industry. Everyday I continue to learn something about cars. Never stop learning. I have been to car auctions ( public ones). Never done what Flying Wheels has done but always want to stay in the automotive industry.
    So I just watched this video you have about Flying Wheels. I learned even more about how cars are bought and sold thru auctions. And more about Flying Wheels.
    Very good choice to do a story on Flying Wheels.
    I will continue to watch Flying Wheels on RUclips. Never myself have done what Flying Wheels has done. But I've owned many vehicles myself since twelve. Took one apart at twelve. ( school not easy and found since little I like cars).
    So again. Great choice to do a story on Flying Wheels.
    We live in a digital age now. I say: " If you can't keep up with technology, technology won't wait for you."
    And also. Autism. At times it seems hard to do things. But don't give up. And be proud of yourself. We have strengths, skills and great ideas.
    Again. Great video on Flying Wheels CNBC.👍

    I went to a car auction with a dealer friend in my early 20s in Manheim PA. It was a great experience, one that I still fondly remember today. It's hard work. You have to do volume to make a good profit.

    It’s almost mandatory at this point.

    That Ford Focus at 2:18 was mine. I traded it in for a 2012 F150. Craig said 4x4 works good but it did not and it still does not. Fortunately with better all-terrain tires I bought, it does just fine snow until I can try and fix 4x4. Craig did help me out with an airbag light since it can't pass inspection in Massachusetts. His mechanic wasn't able to fix it, so he went to others until someone did prior to trading Focus in. End of the day, I got somewhat a good deal considering it's a rust free truck from Virginia and I have posted some videos with it in snow last month. Craig, if you're reading this, I hold no grudge despite 4x4 not working, and I wish you nothing but the best with Fly Wheels! And I hope someone enjoys that Focus because I made memories with that car.

    It was acknowledged briefly but these big sales numbers are so misleading since that’s not even close to take home pay after the significant expenses of running it. “100% return on investment” is bogus.

    Thanks for sharing...Every he said is 100% spot on. I own a Auto Repair Business (main business) and I also have a dealers license. I use my dealers license to mainly buy and sell with my Repair Customers! From my experience people prefer to buy/sell with repair shops. In the city I'm in 3 other repair shops also have their dealers license. With that license I'm able to help my customers 3 different ways. 1. Selling them a Quality Used Auto...They know with in 30 days if something is not right I make it right! 2. I buy vehicles off my customers that I can repair and feel good about reselling! 3. I get customers who have a derelict vehicle that we don't want to retail...Instead I'll sell at dealer auction 'AS IS"

    I am trading in my truck that I bought from him 6 months ago. It had nothing but problems. Was told 4x4 works, it doesn't. Brakes were so bad and it unsafe. Constant misfires. And the cherry on the top was it needs a new timing chain and solenoids which is a $4000 job. At 2:16 in the video, was my Ford Focus in the background. I traded that in for the truck I bought from Craig. The worst part was he doesn't even know the vehicle history because we had to do the carfax ourselves at that point I should have never bought the truck. He needs to be honest and provide a carfax you can't just buy vehicles at auction and then just sell it the next day.
