This Was A Huge Risk

- Last time I posted a video like this you & I had two businesses being ran out of my garage and celebrated wins with Pizza Hut big dinner boxes for Dakota, Gels, and Mario as my cats accidentally peed on Gels' winter coat. That was six months ago, how wild is that? I found myself questioning how things were going so I figured I should just go back to what I told you we were going to do this year..
Our 2024 goals were to 1) get a shop for the boys 2) drift at Ebisu 3) Continue making big videos and 4) blow up MartiniWorks and 5) start a family
I always want you to know how things are going, both good and bad. Here's how you & I are doing!

Alex feels like he lets us down because the algorithm doesn't like him as much as Mr. Beast, while we're just wondering when his hair is going to be crazy enough to be out of frame
The man is married. This hair theory is unlikely 😂
Looks like a bird's nest lol
He has great blocking technique
I cant recall a single memorable moment from this channel.
There is a direct correlation between hair organization to life organization, just a clear FYI for ya'll.. hahahahahah
dude the
reason i watch your content is because its like a sunday drive, fuck being loud and crazy, just being chill and impartial is what a lot of us look for in a creator. dont change. keep doing what your doing.
I agree 100%. If Alex builds something massive and can't contain himself and is runnin around yelling like a school girl, I am freakin here for it.
Alex, build your hype for you. We relate here because you guys are real.
Mannnnnn 4:20 Alex what are you on about brev. We literally enjoy anything and everything you've put out. Doesn't matter the company you have or keep. I personally trust you with my hobby and interests in cars. Looking forward to all ya new projects. Keep it balanced and keep it comin.
Dude your videos are chill and that's the reason a lot of people including myself watch your videos more consistently than most other creators.
Yep. Can just turn them on and chill.
Ever since street cars magazine were absolete I never found someone/something remotely closed to a genuine car enthusiast place were I felt that I could relate to or enjoy, you are one of the only real car enthusiast out there with that touch (most car youtubers are now only for clout and click bait tbh) Im glad someone like you exist and share with us the car enthusiast life and be real about it! I wish you only the best, keep being real!
You were a breath of fresh air in the automotive community when you arrived on the scene, and you continue to deliver to this day. You are you, so be you. I am still trying to find my on voice on camera and I would love to talk with you about how you did it (either on camera or off). Keep it up man!
Initially I was drawn in by Iron Lungs Martini shorts but I stuck around because of how down to earth and honest you and you’re friends are. I’ll stick behind whatever you want to do. Don’t kill yourself trying to be something you’re not and we’ll love all the more for it. Keep it up big man 🫶
I think you got the right idea separating MartiniWorks and your own personal channel. My suggestion is to keep MartiniWorks with content that helps the car community, providing us with tips and tools on how we can enjoy our rides. With the personal channel, give content like behind the scenes and share em like you would as a story. Your fan base would appreciate them a lot I think, since they can know you in a "personal" level while MartiniWorks still provides educational content. Just my opinion.
The best content is the content you wanna make. You’ve take the leap a lot of people won’t. Keep it up
Wisconsin is proud man keep it up my guy
Thank you very much, we're trying our best
I'm here for the ride, no stress. You were a big part of inspiring me to do my build back at fitment and now I'm the proud owner of a C5 corvette building it into a C5-R esque time attack car. I'll continue to support your work, don't let the numbers make you feel like you aren't enough
Great stuff man. You’re killing it and you’re doing it right. Love seeing the evolution and love seeing you and the team do well.
You make great content. Its the reason were here. We left the other channel and followed you here. Keep up the great work. Just keep it authentic like you have and youll have recipe for success. Too many more years of great content from you in the future 🎉
I honestly love seeing how far you've come from when I watched you on FI. I can't wait to see what all you do, and how you continue to grow. (I absolutely love the shirt btw, super comfy)
keep pushing bro and this kind of videos is cool so don't worry about it
Thanks man
I think you belong in this space as a personality. Super relatable with genuine interests. Clear delivery of information and relatable humor is a hard combination to come by, and it’s something that I don’t let go unappreciated. That being said, it does seem like the videos are slipping through the algorithmic cracks. Who knows why, but I wouldn’t beat yourself up over it. I believe it will work out.
Dude, I've been rootin for you since the early FI days. What you've accomplished since then is nothing short of fkn amazing. I for one, will be rockin with you, Gels, and Dakota til the wheels fall off. Then we'll put them back on and keep going. ❤🔥🔥
Dude, you guys are doing it and we truly appreciate all that you’re doing to pave a new way. Y’all are truly an inspiration.
I haven’t been a subscriber for long, but I am subscribed so you’re doing something right. The followers will come you just haven’t hit your peak moment. Don’t lose faith dude. Try doing like a DIY junkyard build or something
Realest content creator out there, your content stands out from the rest because how genuine your personality is, not a lot of people have that in content creation, no matter what you choose to do or not do you have my support as well as the support of other loyal followers who enjoy and appreciate and love the things you do
I think you’re doing great Alex, you and the boys are making a real fist of it and that’s great to see, and not being in the pocket of big brands is massive for me because it means that what you bring to the table is genuine and not controlled by a puppet master, I have everything crossed for you guys and hopefully you guys keep growing carefully like you have been 👍🏻
Hi Alex, it's great to see things are going pretty well for you and your new adventures. I know I was excited to run into at SEMA many years back when you were apart of Fitment Industries (I highly doubt you'd remember). Keep up the great work and I wish and pray for your continued success!
Keep the vids coming 💯🔥🙏🏾
Been watching since I came across you years back in fitment industries
We love ya vids, it is funny asf and knowledgeable
keep killing it !!
I love this channel and everything it stands for I love building and learning to work on my WRX and these guys and their down to earth nature inspires me! Good stuff
Sunday drives are the best. Keep doing what you're doing, algorithms be damned. 👍
Good to see good things happen to good people, love to see you 3 guys together.
Great video brotha man. You speak from the heart. ❤️
My dude just keep on doing what you're doing. You've got a vision and living the partial dream you're doing an amazing job
I feel in love with cars a lot from the so you want series you did and I love the information you guys share and they fun way you display it wish you guys the best
I love everything you do and wish I could do more! I love Martiniworks so much I want to buy solely from you guys where I can! I look for every single podcast and video you guys put out because you guys are so passionate. Keep up the wonderful work
If you could down the line, talk about the quality of brake rotors, calipers, and pads. As well as talking about what is worth upgrading versus keeping OEM depending on drivers needs. Keep up the great work you got this.
My 2 boys and I watch your videos religiously. We love your content on both martiniworks and Alex martini, we've watched your videos since back in the fi days.
I want to see the history of the Ronal Teddy Bear rims and see if you can find a decent set.
Keep up the great work, I've always liked the info you talked about and your presence on screen. For me at least it is always entertaining and engaging.
Dude I hope you become the greatest automotive youtuber in the Industry. You guys are great!
Really cool to see how much youve succeeded in your endeavors. Well done! AND.......Still waiting on a video on the pros and cons of water methonal injection.😢
I love your open honesty and everything you do, dont ever give up.
I like the Sunday drive approach. I think what I like most is that this channel just feels like a normal dude and his friends just doing car stuff. You’re not a massive brand like Donut (no shade I love those guys too), and that’s sort of what I like most. You and the dudes at Gears and Gasoline are some of my favorites to watch. I’ll never own a sick looking basket case of a Ferrari (I’m a McLaren fanboy though and through), but an S2000 track car is something I could see myself building if I didn’t have an evil HOA who gets mad that I park my Honda Passport in the street. All that to say keep doing what you’re doing, I’m all for watching the success you’re doing something I think car culture really needs and I appreciate it.
I mean... I just watch for Dakota and his shenanigans 😂 Nah, but I kid. Keep doing what you're doing boys. We love the content, love what you're doing and trying to do, and love what you stand for! Looking forward to meeting you guys and purchasing more from the store once I'm able too. And I'm MORE than happy to rep y'alls name on my car show shirt and on my cars.
KEEP. IT. UP MY GUY. We're rooting for you
Alex bro you’re killing it you pivoted and started fresh with your own capital and brought your friends with you. Everyone knows this ain’t easy wll always support bro keep going !
I love you’re videos bro keep it up, can’t believe Ive built car in fitment industries and on martini works from following you! I deeply appreciate your content and we got this! Martini works all the way
I followed and watched you from Fitment and thats when i got hooked on this alex martini guy. I then heard that you started your own thing martiniworks and i have been following the podcast as well. You bring such a unique voice to the automotive industry, that i think most of us here can relate. Sure there’s a lot more other creators out there but i personally don’t necessarily relate to them unlike how some of us do to you.
Please keep going at this you have an incredible knack for this
Alex you and your team are so personable, I binged the whole podcast and by the end of it I felt like I was best friends with you Dakota, gels, and Lars. The quality of content you bring matched with the down to earth, approachable style, is what drew me in. Definitely one of my favorite channels and 100% my favorite podcast! Just keep doing your thing and the pieces will fall into place.
Agreed.
Hey man, for what its worth, as a guy who is 30 now, I enjoy more laid back channels. Being shouted at and treated like a zoomer gets tiring pretty fast on a lot of other automotive channels. Some of the most influential car channels on youtube are very low key. Don't try to be something you aren't. Embrace who you are, make good stuff, and people will watch.
" So you want a haaaandaa s2000, im Alex from [thatothercompany] " -first video I watched and now im gonna go shop in your store. Excellent!
Been watchin ya for like 5 or so years I think. I watch the videos for ya, idk what the content is. Keep at it man.
I love watching your channel with my son
We enjoy them together thankyou !!!
Momma didn't raise no beotch. Keep doing the damn thing and we'll be here. You and the boys are why we are here.
If you read this I want you to know you are doing an amazing job. You are the one of the best role models of our Appleton area in the vehicle scene. Just a guy trying to make our group not have such a bad wrap. You are particularly responsible for me and my family hosting vehicle meets in Little Chute now on our business property. Just like you we want to bring people together for a nice family friendly experience. Just talking to others about what they have done and what they plan on doing is enough. Automotive enthusiast are such a hated on group from some bad apples but not everyone is like that. just like you we are trying to get people to connect in a positive way and make human interactions since so much has gone online. Keep up the good work and maybe one day we’ll see you and your friends join us at our meets.
Oh my love. I’ll always be here to remind you to be proud of yourself. You are doing incredible things and you are doing it the right way. Thank you for showing the vulnerable side of things and being honest always. 🖤
I came from the FI channel where I liked you as a person…
I had a vibe that you were a good person to follow.
As long as you tell us the truth, keep your vision and don’t sell out, you have a subscriber for like in me.
I don’t care if it is a video per month 😅
Do what makes you happy and don’t burn out!
Next time you are in Japan, send me a message. 👍
Love your approach man, love the honesty and the passion behind what you do. Keep going, keep inspiring us!
I can relate! I'm trying to get some things going and I don't have a unique voice and crazy personality... sometimes it gets hard, but you're doing good. Keep it up! I'll keep trying too lol
You make sure you take care of yourself Alex, you push yourself hard as fuck, we’re the same age bro and I push myself to the point of exhaustion and you’re over there doing more. You take care of yourself dog forreal.
If you want 100% honesty, I come to RUclips for the long form video documentary. If I want shorts I'd go to TikTok. Which would mean downloading& making any account on TikTok
Outside of that, I enjoy what you bring
Speaking on behalf of all of us subscribers, you were the favorite brother from Fi 😂 just keep doing you and we'll watch
Mad respect to you man!!! Stay true and love your honesty!! Don't sell out ❤
I personally love all your content, and I love your story telling. I do kind of miss the "so you want a ____" type videos but I understand if Fitment has a monopoly on that type of video.
I would think its cool to see some short from content for the cars and coffees you guys host
Dude been watching you from FI all the way till now, haven't disappointed yet your on to something here so i am going to keep flowing like a puppy flowing its owner around the house lol, keep up the good Works Martini
Keep doing what you’re doing Alex. You , Dakota and Gels is the reason I watch your videos because you guys keep it real.
Got to make your way to Road America sometime, lots of content that can be unlocked every summer!!!
Y'all doing it big!! Building it for yourselves not the next man is huge! HUGELY!!! Gotta be scary af taking that risk. Y'all genuine people n that shows
My favorite thing about the martini boys - integrity. 💯
You’re a bright spot in the car world. Thank you 🫶
Keep up the good work and keep staying real. We love you man!
My thought: you work your ass off and use this platform to promote really well. I stoked the site is performing and I look forward to making my next car part upgrade purchase from you guys.
Btw, I love your voice, personality, and analogies.
Yeah he's adorable lol
Alex you did not fail us! You went straight into innovation! But we need more stance coverage and stances builds.
You mean less stance and stance coverage. Making cars perform worse is not ideal.
What vinyl did you get for the S2K, trying to get the same color for my G sedan.
You're doing an awesome job dude. Been watching since the FI days.
You're doing the right thing in the right way. Carry on, you got this 😎👍
Just like a 1 on 1 conversation. Dont give up, you can take this thing to the moooon 🚗💥💨🔥
I've been watching you since the fitment industries days. Never watched content that didn't have you or gels or Dakota in it. Once you left fitment industries and started this channel I knew I was following you and unsubbing from them.
Whatever content you end up making my dude I'm here for it. One day I'll get my Focus ST up on martini works in the build section. It's nothing special but I've got plans.
I'm just happy to see you grow 🖤
Love the content!
You stand out to me Alex. For the simple reason that I am here, naturally, for just about every video. I catch up on y'all like boomers watch the news. If I need wheels they will come from you. Keep shining.
Scared money don't make money. keep it up bud, you're on the right track.
We all watched Fi because of you not bc of Fi, trust me we’re here bc of you we support you Martini works only going up from here
Alex, I’ve been watching you for a while, your video about the focus ST was fascinating back in the day when I was buying one. I appreciate beyond words your intentionality and priority to be true to yourself but also the car scene. I have the utmost respect for you and the bois unrelenting decision to be honest no matter what. God will honor that. And finally it is a great tragedy that man people today sell their souls for a greater profit margin. Never settle man and keep the content coming. I’m stoked for what’s in store! 👊🏼
Voice? You do have a punchy voice and legit forward charisma on camera don't worry about that man! For the record Linus was a terrific host in his earlier years his voices higher pitch was only an asset and I think its the same for yours. Deep monotone voices put people to sleep. Love your content, reminds me a little of the awesome channel mighty car mods when your messing with your own car.
Means the world man, thank you so much! I'll keep that in mind hahaha
Love this Alex, supporting you every step of the way!
Living the dream, man.
Appreciate that man
I ordered a injen intake and some tein flex z's for my ep3 civic. Great customer support and best price on those coil overs.
Also my build in on the build threads.
Well said as always!
I'm never going to own a Ferrari for myself to the next best thing is watching you work on yours
i feel this. it hits hard.
Alex, every beginning is scary and sometimes frustrating, but you have managed to keep up with people that might be more talented. The success in every project is determined by discipline and not talent... Keep going with your channel and projects, I KNOW you are going to accomplish a lot in the future.
Followed you from FI.
I appreciate you're genuine attitude towards everything, while you don't have a crazy Mrbeast video every video, I love your stories and vlog style on this channel. I'm a car person and always appreciate more knowledge and opinions on things... And the videos on the martiniworks channel are stellar 👌🏻
Keep doing you Alex, If I could support you more from Canada I definitely would! I'll keep watching to help as much as I can ❤️
Alex Car Tips channel when
You should contact Matt Moreman from Obsessed Garage. He could give you some tips and tricks for managing business, you tube channel and personal life
I’ll be ordering parts from y’all soon
would love more s2k content
8:51 Nah It's Cool I Have Weird Attachment Issues As Well. Look, It's All Going Great My Guy! MartiniWorks Is A Staple, It Will Be Huge One Day! With Torque Out Of The Way, I Say Take That Time You Was Putting In That And Push Every Second Into MartiniWorks, And You Will Reap The Benefits Of That! Anyways Your Doing Well, Keep That -Shit- Up For The Next 4 Years And It Will Be Massive! (1 Year Down + 4 More = 5 Years lol)
We love you Alex like watermelon ❤️ Love the journey
Hell yeah I dig it
Ok that's funny... I just paused The WAN Show over on Linus Tech Tips to come watch this video...
I like your energy. Good enough for me.
We support Alex and his team!
Means the world
Ebisu trip
Love It
My little Sentra made it in another video. 1:39 😂
