    I will never forget being in 9th through 12th grade in computer class endlessly watching some of the first firepunk videos over and over year after year. It definitely molded me into loving diesel trucks. I loved the last transmission build y’all did for me, and I can’t wait to bring another one!

    I remember watching the diesel power challenge videos around 2014 and seeing you guys and just going “Plain city? The quiet town my grandparents live at?” Not knowing you would become one of the biggest names in diesel performance. Awesome to see how far you guys have come!

    I've been watching the progression of your successful journey and it has been absolutely amazing, success doesn't come easy with family home and sacrifices that are taken when your focus is on your business. In the end it is completely worth it. Dream chasing becomes reality if you never give up. Very impressive how your team has come together with your leadership. Absolutely 💯 Dedication!!

    Congratz on the success! How has hot rodding as a hobby and now as a profession changed your outlook on the hobby? I love to hot rod but am worried a career doing such things would ruin it for me or atleast make me lazy in pursuing my own projects.

    • @FirepunkDiesel
      @FirepunkDiesel  11 дней назад +3

      I think my age and change of priorities change my outlook more then turning hobby into business. I still enjoy horsepower, racing, and hoodrate activities as much as anyone, but I would rather do it with my kids then stay up til 2am with the guys.
