Transcript
00:00:00.000
Do cops treat you different because you drive supercars?
00:00:03.280
My rule with cops is, look, you have to catch me in the act.
00:00:08.680
The car went sideways, they tried to correct it, it went the other way,
00:00:12.080
hit the light pole, and then hit the fire hydrant.
00:00:14.500
So how many times do you think you've been pulled over?
00:00:18.240
Because I've had other officers that are fans of the channel come to me and say,
00:00:21.300
hey, there's a clip of you in the National Police Training Database.
00:00:25.560
Police officers are on this pedestal that they should be on
00:00:28.540
because they do something that is extremely hard yeah i have tons of respect for first responders
00:00:33.340
firefighters police officers what's up everybody back here with damon from dde i've uh i have a
00:00:39.900
bunch of things i want to talk to him about this guy if you don't know about dde they're the channel
00:00:44.140
that literally started the whole daily driven exotics that's why it's called dde i first
00:00:49.100
discovered damon's stuff probably seven eight years ago and my first mclaren i drove it daily
00:00:56.220
and i'm talking like off road i mean i didn't abuse it that much but you inspired all of that
00:01:03.360
and i had so many other questions i wanted to ask and then we met here at august so we got
00:01:07.900
friends at august that let us uh host this conversation yeah i mean uh you guys are all
00:01:13.440
welcome just take it all in um a few of these cars i think one of those is at least mine and
00:01:18.300
you guys can figure out one of my old cars one of them i brought the diablo sv here and then matt
00:01:24.760
bought it off me and now I won't sell it back to me that's how it's gonna work yeah dude yeah
00:01:29.320
those are some really cool cars some of the the older Lamborghinis I don't fit in really and that
00:01:33.540
was actually a question I had for you because you used to have a Mercy gated I had that exact car
00:01:39.060
yeah yellow just yellow yeah and um I don't I've never gotten this story but what what was happening
00:01:46.420
with the car it needed some something need to get fixed and then you and then they had to try to
00:01:52.260
test something out and it didn't work out like that's a pretty i'd say yeah it didn't work out
00:01:58.300
um yeah it's an unfortunate story um i bought this car out of florida i came to the boys and
00:02:05.280
said this is like my dream car i know what the value of these cars is going to do this is the
00:02:10.260
last manual v12 lamborghini made and we have to find one an lp there's other pre-lp murcielago
00:02:18.100
so the very first iteration which is this yellow one here they actually have two of them and a
00:02:22.740
silver one over here but as any manufacturer develops a car they make it better and better
00:02:28.480
and they create improvements and the LP is the best version of the Murcielago short of a SV
00:02:35.200
but they made even fewer of those as we just spoke about in manual so I thought my shot of getting
00:02:40.940
one would be this LP car I found one in Florida it had a body kit on it so it looked like an SV
00:02:47.380
the guy even put the sticker on the side which i was like this is awful but i did my homework
00:02:52.440
hadn't been in any accidents which was my fear and i ended up picking up for 285 000 us dollars
00:02:59.140
dude and right now that car's worth a million yeah so i was never going to sell it and through
00:03:05.620
my journey of ownership i obviously maintained my cars i took my cars up to august garage and
00:03:10.820
they were doing services on it it's always gone great and i got to a place where my gearbox when
00:03:16.880
i would shift uh was just a little chunky even after it warmed up and i said hey maybe we should
00:03:23.400
just replace the synchros in a gearbox and they said yeah sure we can do that so we ordered them
00:03:28.480
they replaced them they said your car's ready i went to pick it up and everything was fine except
00:03:33.720
for in first gear when i'd accelerate and i don't accelerate soft like someone test driving your car
00:03:39.700
would i just i get into it a little more because i want to hear the car and experience it and it
00:03:44.400
popped out of first and i was like oh that's weird maybe i just didn't put it all the way
00:03:48.240
into gear like it was in gear and you just step on it and it would just pop into neutral yeah pop
00:03:52.360
into neutral and it'd rev up yeah so it did that three times and within the first three stops of
00:03:58.160
me heading home so i turned around and was like no there's something wrong you know they just did
00:04:01.820
the gearbox so it's clearly something's just out of alignment that's all it was and i took it back
00:04:06.520
to the garage and i was like i gotta drop this back off i have to go get my daughter from school
00:04:11.680
can i steal a car they gave me a car i went and got my daughter an hour after getting my daughter
00:04:17.440
i'm sitting at home i get like seven text messages of this vaguely fuzzy yellow lamborghini
00:04:25.380
from about three blocks away crashed into a pole and people are like is this your car and i'm like
00:04:32.740
i knew exactly when i saw it the area of not even a block away from the garage this open field it's
00:04:39.680
the only light pole and the only fire hydrant and there's no building you know there's a curb but
00:04:45.520
that's it and i immediately called and got the man we're so sorry like we went to take it out for a
00:04:53.220
test drive and as we were driving down the road and and mind you this is middle of winter there's
00:04:59.860
lots of sand and salt put on our roads it had snowed recently but it had dried up and it leaves
00:05:05.460
all that residue on the road and so they test drove it and first gear in that car is really tall
00:05:11.380
you can do about a hundred kilometers an hour in first in a mercy so they i told them too i was
00:05:17.140
like you got to get on it by the way that i i said you got to get on it to experience it popping out
00:05:22.420
yeah so i think they pulled out of the driveway and got on it and in that little bit of a curve
00:05:27.380
on the road was on it the car went sideways they tried to correct it it went the other way
00:05:33.540
and it hopped the curb decisions hit the light pole and then hit the fire hydrant so it basically
00:05:38.600
did in like three sides of the car it was a in the end it was not a total loss which was a headache
00:05:45.220
with insurance so i got the car back wrecked and a bunch of money not enough to cover really what
00:05:51.880
i needed but um i ended up just selling the car to a friend who was more interested in taking the
00:05:57.220
project on of rebuilding it but you've driven i mean the mercy gated what do you have now that's
00:06:03.660
gated you have the i have a first gen yeah gated mercy which is what i drove here you drive those
00:06:10.020
things like yeah everywhere there's no joke like and like give them though like that's the thing
00:06:14.700
when i drove that car matt was like hey let's drive that million dollar car i i drove as if
00:06:19.520
like every shift had to be perfect and all this stuff and well if you if you aren't familiar with
00:06:25.560
it it's very much a bit of a finicky car because the motor needs to warm up yeah but to what which
00:06:33.000
you can do by starting the car and letting it idle yeah and letting the oil and water temp and all
00:06:38.420
that so now the motor is going to run a lot better the throttle bodies and all that are going to
00:06:42.340
respond better but the gearbox cannot be warmed up without the car moving so you have to know for
00:06:48.100
the first probably 10 minutes of driving a mercy like gated mercy logo see that's where i do need
00:06:52.580
to go chill because it's going to feel really chunky you probably noticed going into second it
00:06:57.060
was like it almost stops you and then you have to like pull it in yeah and going into thirds the
00:07:00.960
same but after about 10 or 15 minutes of driving the car the gearbox warms up and then it starts
00:07:06.140
to get like buttery smooth so you cannot shift buttery smooth yeah you cannot shift fast in a
00:07:11.580
gated mercy until it's the gearbox is warm or else you're going to grind gears and wreck stuff i
00:07:16.720
might have missed that experience because everybody kept saying oh my gosh it's the best but i was
00:07:20.380
just so nervous and it felt very like mechanically tough yeah i'll take you on my car sometime i
00:07:25.080
would love that i think that would maybe give me a new appreciation yeah um i i want to talk about
00:07:30.560
cops okay because like obviously i don't speed um but friends of mine that do tell me they have
00:07:36.320
issues with um police um yeah so you don't you don't just so we're clear you don't speed ever
00:07:42.940
i don't speed ever unless i'm on a like i it has to be illegal i'm just not gonna do that
00:07:49.320
really no i'm just kidding i am i'm gonna hold you accountable to that no no don't i can't i
00:07:54.100
can't have that one hold i speed i think the misconception though isn't it i want to talk
00:07:59.080
about this real quick before we get into the cop side of things people think because they see our
00:08:03.360
videos that we're speeding all the time it's not all the time there are times when i'm just cruising
00:08:11.340
and ironically when we are speeding or driving spirited i do have rules i'm not gonna and my
00:08:19.880
rules have changed as i've matured both in my business but as an adult and being a family guy
00:08:25.500
so i have rules where i won't speed or i won't do the more risky dangerous stuff that i know is is
00:08:32.420
wreck considered reckless so i think sometimes when i when we get into the cop stuff when i get
00:08:38.640
pulled over and i'm like hey man i wasn't doing anything wrong to the cops people think i'm lying
00:08:43.260
but i don't post cop videos where the cops have caught me doing something and i deserve it
00:08:49.600
those videos actually never get posted i get pulled over more than what people see on the
00:08:53.840
internet and those are the ones where i take the l i take the ticket and i'll pay it the ones you
00:08:58.540
see on the internet are the ones where i was actually driving with a group of cars and i was
00:09:02.640
actually the one maybe with a few other guys doing the speed limit and we had chilled out and been
00:09:07.120
doing the speed limit and obeying laws for the better part of 10, 15, 20 minutes or 30 minutes
00:09:12.740
or an hour, even if we're on a rally, like in an eight hour day, you're not flat out for eight
00:09:16.800
hours. So my rule with cops is look, you're a police officer to become a police officer. You
00:09:24.620
took an oath. It's like going to court. You took an oath to follow the law to a T, which means it's
00:09:31.340
cat and mouse you have to catch me in the act you have to have evidence just because you saw me
00:09:38.060
ripping around or you knew i was ripping around in a video from a week ago doesn't mean you get
00:09:42.380
to come out and give me a ticket like a week later you have to be able to prove it right like that's
00:09:46.540
the world we live in so um yeah sometimes people get in the comments and like oh you weren't
00:09:52.140
speeding it's like no i wasn't speeding when i got pulled over for that that time period and i've had
00:09:58.220
had a few videos recently where the police pulled me on they let me go because they knew they had
00:10:01.660
nothing yeah i had a double header one day actually like pull over twice yeah in the morning on the
00:10:06.960
way to a car show they let me go do cops treat you different because you drive supercars you think
00:10:12.340
like do you think they'll more likely to pull you over 100 100 um also over the years of doing
00:10:22.060
daily driven exotics and filming these police interactions where police are wrong or they
00:10:27.360
don't know the law and i kind of hold up for them that that's not correct and i've gone and filed
00:10:33.780
complaints on certain officers that have gone too far with it that's changed the way police also
00:10:39.320
interact with me and everybody because they took one of my early videos from about five or six
00:10:44.380
years ago and they put it into the national database because i've had another other officers
00:10:48.900
that are fans of the channel come to me and say hey there's a there's a clip of you in the national
00:10:55.840
police training database for like a certain type of i don't know if it's for all officers but for
00:10:59.760
like a certain type of police officer what is it that you feel they've changed how they
00:11:06.020
interact with people who are filming them and i think they just probably reiterated what was
00:11:14.240
already told to them which is you're trained you're supposed to be calm collected and in
00:11:19.660
control of the situation not the other way around yeah right so if a police officer walks up and
00:11:26.220
starts being uh verbally aggressive yeah and that only that can just simply be like talking really
00:11:32.980
loud or maybe not talking right if they're if they're manipulating the situation on purpose
00:11:39.020
that's not a good thing so you know i've had videos where the officers lying stuff like that
00:11:46.920
you know i pulled you over for running a stop sign like in beverly hills and then never brings up
00:11:51.920
the stop sign thing again and never gives me a ticket for that and gives me a ticket for not
00:11:56.640
driving in california on a california license yeah and tells me i can't drive here on a canadian
00:12:00.780
license well that is completely wrong yeah right i filed a complaint on him and i've seen that
00:12:06.320
never had an issue with beverly hills pretty much ever again ever again the cops yeah what um so how
00:12:12.220
many times do you think you've been pulled over if you just had to throw over like i know are you
00:12:16.440
over like 150 no below that okay i would say i've been pulled over probably you know probably like
00:12:24.800
60 to 70 times and and for you getting pulled over in a decade plus of doing this yeah but you
00:12:30.800
and and a lot of time and seats so like that's so we're talking like in a 12 month period you know
00:12:36.300
maybe five or six times okay and for you at this point lights go off you're just like no big deal
00:12:41.580
pull over ready to go be calm yeah ask questions yeah well and this is this is my follow-up right
00:12:47.980
because for my friends that do drive and speed not me but those people they want to know the
00:12:53.640
questions like because i've watched like it seems like you have this logical kind of like question
00:12:58.820
question question question is it because you're trying to get them to admit to certain things
00:13:02.940
like what's your thought process around what you ask a cop to essentially um prove your innocence
00:13:08.260
or set up a framework for you to be able to dispute a ticket sure well first of all you got to know
00:13:13.140
what you did so that goes back to what i just said yeah if i was caught yeah and i know okay
00:13:20.860
you go by a guy i go 100 and it's a 50 zone and he spins the lights on turns around you're like
00:13:25.960
i'm like i already have my license registration for him because i already know what he wants
00:13:30.340
yeah and i hand it to him and he asked me what was i doing i just i first of all i never admit
00:13:37.740
that i'm speeding on on site you don't want to admit you don't want to admit anything
00:13:42.320
right because you never know where the pullover could go yeah you don't know if this is a like
00:13:48.380
a really aggressive officer something bad could happen that then i need to go to court for
00:13:52.660
but if it's just a traffic violation usually a hand i say i got license registration and my
00:13:59.020
insurance card and don't say anything and then if he goes what were you thinking going that fast
00:14:05.960
i just say reserve the right not to answer any questions you'll say that yeah and then at that
00:14:11.240
point they usually just walk away you guys stay here and they usually walk away and come back
00:14:15.720
and either sometimes give me a warning because they know who i am recently or they come back
00:14:20.940
with a ticket and they say sign the ticket i sign the ticket because i know it's required
00:14:25.280
i take my ticket and i go on my way and don't argue don't don't ask a bunch of questions now
00:14:31.340
if i've genuinely been not screwing around and i know there's no way this officer is it's not
00:14:39.900
saying they're lying but let's say they their information is based on maybe another car
00:14:44.940
right there's lots of where i drive a lot of time there's lots of supercars and most people have no
00:14:51.180
clue the difference between a mclaren a lamborghini ferrari they'll just see a car and if it's red
00:14:55.500
they'll call it a ferrari right just subconsciously so if he pulls me over and says um
00:15:02.860
license to registration i said what would you pull me over for he goes your speed or whatever
00:15:07.500
they're gonna say oh you were with a group of people everybody was reported i say okay uh do
00:15:12.780
you have any evidence do you not the people who called you and do you have any physical evidence
00:15:18.940
that i was breaking the law i'll say that sometimes and the tricky part is by law they
00:15:26.540
in california now as of january 1st 2024 they do have to tell you what they pulled you over for
00:15:32.460
now that's for california but there are places where they don't really need to engage with you
00:15:36.780
at all other than just giving you the citation if that's what they want to do and i've had that
00:15:40.780
experience which really doesn't lead anywhere other than then you gotta go get an attorney so
00:15:46.380
So, but if they do engage, they might say, well, I got you with radar, right?
00:15:53.080
Well, if I know I haven't been speeding for the last 15 minutes and I was genuinely following the law, I know this cop's full.
00:16:15.840
and if they answer the questions well you can take all that and use it as a defense i've had
00:16:22.820
a bunch of different scenarios where the officers told me something that i'm like there's no way
00:16:27.260
so at that point i just basically ask them more questions about you know how long he's been an
00:16:32.500
officer for get doubt in them that you like is that kind of yeah how long they've been an officer
00:16:39.180
is it because you're trying to let them know that if they if they decide to give you a ticket that
00:16:43.320
there's a hundred percent chance you're going to dispute it because you have the questions
00:16:46.860
no at this point i'm just being a youtuber and the longer i can get them to talk the longer this
00:16:51.360
police interaction is on the side of the the highway yeah the better the uh retention rate
00:16:58.280
of the people watching the videos all for content so at a point at this point i'm just like hey you
00:17:02.780
know it's legal for you to film the police so if if the officer is telling me i did something wrong
00:17:09.280
and i know i did nothing wrong well i'm going to monetize it so now it's just like drag it out as
00:17:14.200
long as i can ask as many questions as possible you know but be polite be calm um it's not going
00:17:21.860
to serve you well if you're aggressive especially i mean not even with the cop i mean just like
00:17:26.000
the internet's not going to like you so just be calm cool collected be educated on what are the
00:17:31.720
laws you know especially about vehicle code so things like your car right i've been educated
00:17:37.280
that you know just because um from canada doesn't mean that my car being allowed is you know they
00:17:46.320
can't give you a ticket for noise because there's noise ordering ordinance that they can give you
00:17:50.960
tickets for within a certain city so that's when you just have to take a bit of a slap on the wrist
00:17:55.420
now it's not going to hurt your driver's license or give you points or anything like that if you're
00:17:58.780
a foreigner but um you you don't probably want to argue too much about that i've learned that one
00:18:03.660
the hard way yeah but then there's other things where i got this one recently on on the senate
00:18:08.020
in the double header pull over with the senate just the other week the first officer told me
00:18:14.020
i had to have a front plate because that's the law in california and i was like hey bro let me
00:18:20.540
educate you quickly i'm from canada and i'm from a province called alberta and they issue one plate
00:18:26.020
i physically don't get a second plate to put on the front well i'm not going to argue about it
00:18:32.320
says on the side of the road uh you have to follow the laws of california when you're here
00:18:37.580
and i'm like well that's where you're mistaken that's where the officer's wrong yeah you know
00:18:41.580
as a tourist you need to follow certain rules when you enter the states right but there are
00:18:48.640
certain things that are local to the state local to the state yeah vehicles coming through the
00:18:53.840
state can't be stopping and putting stuff on a car every time i've gotten a no front plate ticket
0.96
00:18:58.740
which is dumb. It's a $25 ticket. It's like a fix it ticket. Yeah. I've just sent that to my
0.79
00:19:04.660
attorney. I've never paid one. Yeah. And, and would you recommend that anybody that gets a
00:19:10.020
speeding ticket or noise violation or window to whatever they get a ticket for that they should
00:19:14.360
fight it? Again, I think if you're in the right, yeah. Okay. Right. I mean, you gotta remember
00:19:19.780
police officers are on this pedestal that they should be on because they do something that is
00:19:24.440
extremely hard yeah i have tons of respect for uh first responders firefighters police officers
00:19:29.640
because not just the the physical aspect of it when it comes down to a physical altercation
00:19:36.680
but then it's really more a mental game yeah but at the end of the day they're human beings
00:19:41.440
just because they have like a badge and a gun and a uniform they're just people and there's good
00:19:46.960
ones and there's bad ones yeah right so you have to treat them with respect when they walk up to
00:19:52.820
your vehicle and if they're disrespecting you it's better to walk a line of integrity and just
00:19:58.440
ask lots of questions and keep them talking and let your camera do the rest you know take your
00:20:04.240
cell phone and put it up on your dash and just film the whole thing protect yourself i never
00:20:08.640
thought about that yeah i've always you know i'm canadian so it's just like i'm you know i'm so
00:20:13.060
worried yeah i say that too a lot yeah it's uh it's one of those things where obviously you know
00:20:21.280
one time i had my windows tinted and i literally switched lanes at night driving at night which i
00:20:25.720
never did so it was kind of funny that i i didn't realize how the tint i couldn't see and he pulled
00:20:30.880
me over and he was like because i almost hit him i literally changed lanes i almost hit him and he
00:20:33.900
said what are you doing and he looked and he's like dude that's not legal i'm like i'm sorry
00:20:36.800
um and he probably thought you're drunk yeah probably uh he gave me literally the the fix
00:20:43.140
it ticket or no he said uh if you come tomorrow i'll rip it up so i took the tint off went to
00:20:48.780
see him he was he was cool dude that was here in no that was in new brunswick brunswick yeah
00:20:53.100
other part of canada but definitely canada yeah um you just got back from driving one of my favorite
00:20:58.680
cars yesco oh yeah like dude what how like out of all the other cars and i know you've driven a lot
00:21:08.120
of them but i mean a it's chris right they had the the shop is it chris no what's this guy's name
00:21:15.360
who owns the youtuber the guy that had the your buddy that let you oh james james yeah mr jww
00:21:22.460
jww right jww anyway so i mean he must really like like you i mean that he does i think james
00:21:32.140
likes me it's so crazy i'm like i know a guy that's driven a yesco like dude that the koinig
0.93
00:21:39.960
is for me i think it's one of the coolest hypercars because he's like you know christian is
00:21:46.160
essentially the elon musk of supercars for sure like for legit engineering i'm a big big big fan
00:21:52.980
of all the stuff they build and man the sound oh it's insane the theater of it like just even the
00:22:01.320
the spec of that one specifically in london like yeah yeah london's not a fun place to drive for
00:22:07.460
the record no no it's just a great place to go be goo goo gaga over in three million hyper car
00:22:12.440
so have you ever driven or ridden in any koenigsegg no they are all surprisingly very different
00:22:19.860
versus if you drove a lamborghini diablo from 1999 and then drove a first-gen mercy and then
00:22:28.100
an lp and then drove an aventador there are similarities where in the koenigsegg model
00:22:35.420
lineup i've had the opportunity to drive in a ccx i've actually yeah with a manual gearbox i've
00:22:42.420
actually driven a regera i've actually which has no gearbox in the context of its final drive it's
00:22:49.120
just it doesn't shift gears there's no way to shift gears it just goes um i've driven an agera rs
00:22:56.700
which shifts gears very aggressively very much like an svj but has double the horsepower
00:23:04.540
um and then i've driven the esco which is this modern the newest technology from konings egg
00:23:12.000
like you said christian's a just an engineering genius and they've got this brand new gearbox
00:23:19.180
that i will not even come close to attempting to explain automatic and manual right not no
00:23:25.220
that is now that's the cc 850 okay sorry that that even that i know it gets really confusing
00:23:31.660
And then there's also this Agera that they converted where they took the Agera motor out of it, put a Yesco engine in it, and put the gearbox from the CC850 in it.
00:23:43.880
But then you can also switch it over so that it runs off paddles as well.
00:23:51.900
But we'll get to the point that I was going to make, which is the Yesco is, again, so different from anything else.
00:23:57.660
else like every car that i mentioned that they've made other than the windshield looking like the
00:24:04.060
same way when you look through it they all drive completely differently they all feel really
00:24:07.820
planted that would be one similarity when you're driving uh koning's egg it's very confidence
00:24:12.080
inspiring but the yesco first of all it's got like no flywheel or something like that i don't
00:24:19.180
know if that's right or wrong or if it's just super light but i think it's got no flywheel
00:24:22.600
this new gearbox they engineered and so when you touch the throttle it's like the closest thing i
00:24:28.740
could guess what an f1 car would be like because f1 cars are already idling at several thousand
00:24:33.660
rpm and then they rev up to like you know 15 or 16 or 17 000 rpm you could literally barely touch
00:24:41.680
the throttle and it was just like wow and i've never experienced that before in any car and i've
00:24:46.940
driven just about everything factory exhaust it's completely like it's rare to experience
00:24:52.560
an exhaust sound through the camera and watching that video and seeing everybody's reaction
00:24:57.600
you could feel yeah well we were driving i was driving the yesco there was a regera following us
00:25:04.660
so right there you can tell the difference between the two cars through sound and then i love james
00:25:11.580
james uh says driving the regara is like driving like marine equipment like it's like driving a
00:25:18.780
submarine it's like oh it's like it's got this really deep tone you don't hear any gear shifting
00:25:24.220
when it drives by it's just a completely different beast but all made from the same manufacturer
00:25:29.980
yeah and then on top of all that just the the lightning quickness of the shifting in the esco
00:25:34.860
the sound we talked about because of this new engine design and then the looks of it i mean
00:25:39.900
it looks so much you know crazier the arrow when you see one in person it doesn't do the photos
00:25:47.500
justice you know and i was driving an attack which has the crazy wing that's floating at the back
00:25:53.180
yeah it's all active it all moves that's the crazy part that it's just come straight across
00:25:58.140
it's so fast i only got through first second like ripping on it on that one part in london that was
00:26:04.700
like a side road there was nobody around and it was like yeah thank god it's got adequate brakes
00:26:10.460
it flies what what were the quirks and features that surprised like what what did you think was
00:26:15.500
neat about the car it's really it's really endless um inside's pretty classic uh koenigsegg except
00:26:23.180
for it's got a new display that's attached to the steering wheel i'm still undecided i don't know if
00:26:30.060
if i like it it's cool is it so when you turn the wheel itself itself writes it's like self levels
00:26:36.440
yeah um yeah it's really neat i think it's cool i've never seen any car ever do that before i
00:26:41.360
mean it's like mclaren when they came out with the whole the dash flips up and down yeah that
00:26:45.080
was really cool really cool i actually thought when they first introduced that i was like oh
00:26:48.520
it's gonna be the first thing to break break yeah and i don't know anybody that's ever had
00:26:52.200
an issue with that thing flipping out and i turn it on and out every time right yeah sometimes i'll
00:26:55.920
put it up if i want to even in track mode other things that were really unique about the yesco
00:27:01.100
were just the little subtle things so like the new headlight design the new taillight design
00:27:06.740
because when you look at konings eggs they kind of again have a different theme to each model
00:27:15.160
there's certain things that hold true like the windshield's always yeah the design language
00:27:19.780
of the windshield yeah yeah crazy arch to it wouldn't even want to know what one of those
00:27:24.820
would cost to replace but um but then this car is just like so new from the ground up
00:27:30.980
and i've always loved the koenig's eggs like whatever you want to call it like open body
0.92
00:27:36.100
look like if you hit the button and everything just like transformer style yeah the doors the
00:27:41.140
doors will open up dude the front opens up and then the rear clamshell opens up and exposes
00:28:07.400
like Regera's I think they made 80 in the world
0.79
00:28:15.220
two days after i left london or drove that car uh a fully exposed carbon body yesco unfortunately
00:28:23.100
caught fire and burnt to the ground in greece that went real viral everyone saw that yeah they
00:28:28.360
immediately looked into what caused that i don't know what it was maybe that's been released now
00:28:33.580
but um you know those cars are hand-built take years these guys have got their yescos and only
00:28:40.960
25 or six have been delivered out of 125 and they've been waiting three plus years for their
00:28:47.620
car so this guy who had his car burned down they're going to build him a new car wow yeah
00:28:52.720
instead of being like well you got your one of 125 and it burned to the ground because obviously
00:28:57.400
it was a manufacturer defect yeah so yeah dude that that watching you experience that car was
00:29:04.260
that was like and just so you know konings egg london the dealership that just opened yeah
00:29:10.080
is and is that james's dealership james is involved in it james's business partner okay so that that
00:29:17.800
car belongs to the dealership and they were very fortunate to be able to get that car because they
00:29:23.000
actually so i was gonna ask that wasn't their car they got that because of other circumstances i
00:29:28.380
don't know if i can explain okay or if i'm allowed to say how they got that car but that car belonged
00:29:33.180
to someone else they no longer could take it um and the factory offered it to them that's how they
00:29:38.480
got it basically okay it wasn't like a dealer they didn't inspect that yeah that was someone
00:29:42.480
else which is why in london it's left-hand drive which made it easier for me to drive
00:29:46.640
yeah it looked so cool what let's talk about ferraris because i know you're a big ferrari
00:29:54.740
well i've got the pista and then my neighbor's got a four five eight mensuri kit it's one of the
00:30:02.160
i think his instagram says one of one in canada which i'm the white one yeah alan uh he's my
00:30:07.520
neighbor and then uh but i've heard i've never i mean i'm new to ferrari but they don't like people
00:30:14.400
messing with their cars why and like are they calmed down lately or what well there there's
00:30:20.800
some myths around that yeah there's the infamous and us youtuber automotive youtubers love to take
00:30:25.840
advantage of this myth, the whole Ferrari cease and desist letter. The thing Ferrari doesn't want
00:30:32.020
you to do, any brand wouldn't want you to do this. You can appreciate this being an entrepreneur and
00:30:36.440
building companies, is you don't want the brand you work so hard to build to be tarnished in any
00:30:43.080
way. So Ferrari doesn't want you modifying something that they built and then calling it
00:30:49.320
Ferrari they don't care if you modify their cars just don't call it Ferrari right so and they also
00:30:56.260
don't want you to tarnish their brand so if you try to um force a brand collab so you go buy a
00:31:03.840
Ferrari right and you have a company selling uh designer shoes and clothing there's a true story
00:31:09.360
by the way Philip Pline and you take your shoes and put them on the back of your Ferrari near the
00:31:13.820
ferrari logo and take a bunch of photos and try to use for like ferrari's likeness to promote your
00:31:19.480
products you'll probably get a cease and desist in fact ferrari sued him and won yeah so he took
00:31:25.920
a pair of his designer shoes put them on the back said ferrari took photos of it and ferrari was
00:31:30.840
like no that's your brand is bringing down the value of our brand because of what your brand
00:31:36.800
stands for and and they won in court so so is the cease and desist letter not real or they oh it's
00:31:44.640
real okay i know people have gotten them over what over modifying something and then so for example
00:31:51.600
if you were to modify um a ferrari and you modify the front fenders and you put a body kit on it
00:31:59.760
and you take the shield let's say your car was specked with a shield you take the ferrari logo
00:32:05.240
you take it off you put a completely new fender on which has nothing to do with ferrari and put
00:32:10.140
the shield back on that ain't gonna like that because that is no longer an original ferrari
00:32:14.480
part that you're putting a ferrari logo on and i know that for a fact because my friend james
00:32:19.340
mr jww just released a car called the evoluto i think i'm pronouncing that right and he took the
00:32:25.460
ferrari f355 chassis and they retro like uh modded it yeah to be all modern and they reinforced the
00:32:34.300
chassis with carbon and made it more rigid and drive really good and redid the whole motor and
00:32:38.960
he and i asked him this question like you're actually gonna build a car based off of a ferrari
00:32:45.020
and then you're gonna sell it like singer like porsche was singing yeah yeah or brabus and i said
00:32:49.620
what what can you not get in trouble for and he said he hired attorneys to basically pretend like
00:32:56.760
they were working for ferrari and they reverse engineered it if we were ferrari's lawyers what
00:33:01.660
would we sue you for that's cool and they came up with a list of 18 things or something like that
00:33:05.940
and so basically nothing on the car that they touched could have the logo back on it except
00:33:11.340
for the front grill because the front grill on the car stayed original and it had the prancing
00:33:16.300
horse on the front of it so they think they could put that back on and that's okay but it doesn't
00:33:21.140
say ferrari anywhere on the car because everything else in the car was modified new paint new
00:33:25.340
everything so it's just a chassis anybody looking at it would they think it's a chassis in a body
00:33:29.040
but they modify the body it's a full carbon car it's like psychotic how they built this car it's
00:33:34.760
overbuilt it's amazing it's beautiful manual gearbox now i can show it to you that's so cool
00:33:40.020
yeah what what do you think having been in the supercar industry for so long now
00:33:45.360
what do you think most people wouldn't know about the industry that you've learned
00:33:50.180
like they'd be surprised to learn like a normal person like just they they understand the super
00:33:57.880
cars but they're like what like what would they be surprised i would just go to the the basic um
00:34:04.440
again myth that they're really unreliable and expensive to maintain modern supercars are not
00:34:11.000
that they're a lamborghini huracan any model of it anything from the first one they built
00:34:17.780
to an sto to a technica their final edition any of those cars are daily drivable bulletproof to
00:34:25.500
the point where i actually probably have more confidence daily driving one of those cars than
00:34:30.080
some than some toyotas that's a big statement they are so good i promise you if you were to
00:34:37.240
go buy a huracan even a used one with 20 30 40 000 kilometers on it which in fact my street car
00:34:44.600
i bought with 40 plus thousand k who is they're selling their car through august they were actually
00:34:49.820
a dd fan and i bought that car and i've driven the living daylights out of it plus supercharged it
00:34:56.300
no problems nothing whoa and it's mine's like at the one of the most modified hurricanes on
00:35:02.240
planet level you did all the stuff you're not supposed to do full race body kit yeah super
00:35:06.900
charger that's the actual snorkel roof scoop that's from the race car actually is connected
00:35:12.560
to the engine with the race car filter in it which all had to be tuned i don't have a single
00:35:17.240
engine light i don't have a single light on my dash i have a handbrake in my car from like a
00:35:23.680
drift car we got rid of the paddles deleted the paddles i have the paddles now hooked up to a
00:35:29.080
rally style carbon style shifter so shifting up his back shifting downs forward i'd be and i dude
00:35:35.020
i have my own private little area in la that i beat the hell out of that car third geared burnouts
00:35:40.820
to the point where i'm doing a burnout in third gear the wheel speeds like 100 miles an hour
00:35:44.620
so much smoke you don't know which way is up it's like being lost underwater in a cave and uh
00:35:51.320
car starts no issues never problem no issues i don't even do the oil change man people are
00:35:56.320
worried to put like exhaust on cars worrying that it's going to mess it up there are certain cars
00:36:00.520
depending on the manufacturer that if you don't do certain things in the right order it will
00:36:04.960
create little little hiccups yeah but usually nothing detrimental to a modern day yeah they're
00:36:09.780
built to protect themselves now ironically that diablo is so good i just picked a really good one
00:36:17.620
but let's say diablo generation even murcielago generation early 2000s if you don't get the right
00:36:24.400
car the accessories the motor itself is pretty bulletproof the gearbox especially
00:36:28.700
manual is going to hold up really well the e-gear because it's robotic can have depending on how
00:36:36.340
you drive it if you do a lot of reversing out of a long driveway reverse really chews up the clutch
00:36:40.980
in an e-gear mercy but if you avoid the things you know to avoid and do oil changes and services
00:36:46.180
on time they're really not gonna let you down i just drove my my mercy with my wife boston to
00:36:51.040
boca raton dude eight hours a day not an issue that rally i will say that car the interior is
00:36:59.060
so bright yeah you have to wear polarized sunglasses you have to it does reflect off
00:37:03.280
the windshield holy cow like put put that interior like show everybody like I'm and I love blue it
00:37:09.160
was like honestly that blue and you guys did the blue uh it looks very similar to your shirt yeah
00:37:13.720
like a little lighter yeah lighter a little bit more neon poppy but man I'm watching videos I'm
00:37:19.260
like how do you see like it was yeah it reflects and that I can't take credit for that concept of
00:37:24.920
a blue interior on a white exterior car I was really inspired to do that when I met a guy by
00:37:30.560
the name of mike in la who owned a one-off agara r it's called the agara rs1 and it's white and
00:37:38.960
carbon on the outside with a little bit of blue detail and then the interior is that blue and i
00:37:43.640
saw that car and fell in love with it and i was like one day i will do an interior mod and it'll
00:37:47.980
be that blue color and turned out really good minus they always have to have polarized glasses
00:37:52.460
so sharp yeah what else about the supercar industry i mean there's the whole fiasco i think
00:37:57.620
i've heard with like just allocations yeah i mean what like ferrari your favorite brand yeah i would
00:38:04.260
say mclaren's my favorite brand but is it slowly yeah i i'm a diehard mclaren because they're
00:38:09.860
they're the first it was my first car non-pretentious didn't make me feel like i had to
00:38:15.220
jump through hoops ferrari's just the sound in the engine the theater of the pieces specifically
00:38:20.020
that's the only car i've owned um just has made me really happy but yeah i've just the allocations
00:38:26.340
i'm trying to get gt3 rs right now the like yeah so i was gonna say porsche and ferrari are the
00:38:32.940
top of the tier for the they really um reserve the right to reward the longest standing clientele
00:38:42.480
list based on what very politically beautifully way to explain what you've owned previously or
00:38:48.460
what you're willing to buy right now that is the not special cars and i know lots of guys
00:38:55.820
i have lots of friends that have gone out and bought plenty of the portofinos and the
00:39:02.460
lusos and the you name it to get like the or to get you know whatever's coming up next
00:39:10.300
lamborghini um never really made you you know kind of like the ford gt behind us over in the
00:39:16.220
back you won't see it but the newer ford gt the those cars there's only five had to apply yeah
00:39:27.140
But every single one, you had to apply online on Ford.
00:39:33.980
Yeah, send all your social media and yada, yada.
00:39:38.360
And then if you own the car and got an allocation, you also sign that you could not sell it for 18 months.
00:39:46.500
But now, with the V12 replacement of the Rovalto, that now is the car that came after the Aventador, it's a naturally aspirated V12 with hybrid assist, 1,001 horsepower.
00:40:08.320
But that car, it wasn't that you had to apply to get it.
00:40:12.840
they picked who were going to get them early on but you did have to sign something saying you
00:40:16.840
couldn't resell it right away okay so if you want to sell it has to go back to the dealer
00:40:20.020
and i've already seen some people playing games on the internet where they're saying we have a
00:40:24.920
revolto for sale and it's like well that's impossible yeah and i can guarantee you lamborghini
00:40:30.680
knows exactly based on where you are your goip and the spec of the car they'll know what client
00:40:37.640
that is right i haven't even delivered that many of them so that's kind of a ballsy move
00:40:42.620
of a dealership to be like hey hit us up we have a revolto for sale it's like no you don't is it
00:40:48.060
but i mean that person's in trouble what what is the game that i've seen people play where they're
00:40:52.940
selling allocations sometimes it's fake i mean that's a whole thing in itself fraud yeah you
00:40:58.300
gotta watch over fraud like wiring 50 grand for an allocation and then which seems dumb because
00:41:04.140
when i've seen that it's like really big ticket cars yeah you know i've actually saw that a lot
00:41:08.620
with the yesco i saw guys saying they had yesco allocations really yeah i didn't think it happened
00:41:14.460
like the middle east level that's what i saw huh yeah and the porsche gt3 rs is selling for
00:41:21.820
it was for a while there was like double when they first came out yeah yeah don't buy don't
00:41:27.820
don't buy that car for double no it's going to come down everyone has yeah what what other stuff
00:41:33.820
do you think the who's who's doing it best in the supercar space because there's some new ones
00:41:39.020
coming out right these new electric yeah it depends on if you're a fan of that you know
00:41:42.880
i feel really old saying this but i i hate electric cars okay yeah i just think it's too premature
00:41:50.640
i think that uh the electric cars are and this is my opinion are not the thing that's gonna
00:41:59.220
remotely even put a dent in the you know problem of why they're allegedly here it's very interesting
00:42:07.180
to me why the governments are pushing for manufacturers to be full electric by 2035
00:42:13.480
yeah um now especially low production numbers like the supercars yeah like hybrid assisted uh cars
00:42:22.580
i don't have that big of a problem with like look how cool the p1 is i was just talking about how
00:42:26.320
the p1 out accelerates the senna and that's only due to the electric motors yeah you know so that's
00:42:33.520
cool but let's keep the combustion engine around and let's make cars sound cool and keep that soul
0.98
00:42:39.540
and that enthusiasm that we like and because electric cars just lose it you know it just it
00:42:45.280
loses the theater it does so when you look at the because you said you drove the revolto revolto
00:42:51.260
revolto yeah and when you pronounce it i was like well done sir because i'm not going to get it
00:42:55.560
usually i pronounce everything wrong well you got that one i think nailed um compared to an sf90
00:43:01.140
how do you feel like man you can't compare them yeah lamborghini is such a different beast and i
00:43:09.260
love i used to love doing this when i was uh you know not into owning and driving exotics pre-dde
00:43:16.940
i used to be like oh i had the lamborghini this versus the ferrari that it's like they are apples
00:43:24.400
and oranges yeah they are so different they're not even on the same trajectory for what they're
00:43:29.680
both trying to accomplish yeah so comparing them is impossible kind of silly it's silly it's goofy
00:43:36.320
now an sf90 is a wickedly fast cool car i think it looks cool too i mean is there a point where it
00:43:44.560
going from zero to what the hell am i doing like that that's where does it stop i mean that's the
00:43:50.160
thing with the electric assist like the p stuff for me is a lot of power i couldn't imagine having
00:43:55.040
some torque filling where it literally goes from like zero to 1.4 seconds into a tree at warp speed
00:44:00.960
because like it's just so much you'd be shocked so driving the revolto thousand horsepower brand
00:44:06.800
new lamborghini yeah it didn't now i'm a bit jaded i have a lot of thousand plus horsepower cars
00:44:13.120
and various different engine trims and stuff like that yeah so i'm used to it but i was expecting it
00:44:21.200
to be more violent it's not that's what i was asking you could hand the keys of a thousand
00:44:25.840
horsepower volto to your wife and she could cruise around not a problem okay so that's quite different
0.99
00:44:31.440
it's not like the snappy instant gonna shoot you like a rocket into a tree yeah yeah no yeah it's
00:44:38.880
amazing you know there was a time when 400 horsepower was like the big thing godly yeah
00:44:43.680
well then and then i jump into the gt3 which is from a driver's experience just so fun because
00:44:49.920
it's not overly powered so it means you really get to play with the car at the upper limits without
00:44:55.760
again without getting in trouble with the law right you get that 9 000 rpm and it's just the
00:45:00.000
audio of it yeah um somebody's debating because like this is i remember i went through this
00:45:05.280
struggle when I bought my first car around trying to make it about what I wanted versus I was taking
00:45:11.940
a lot of opinions from other people yeah I've been I've been down that road it's just it's tough
00:45:16.200
because you're like I don't know so I'm not going to not listen but the same time I don't want to
00:45:19.920
buy something for somebody else like I want the car color I want I want the car what do you if
00:45:24.900
somebody was buying their first supercar regardless of what they're spending how would you tell them
00:45:29.580
to approach the decision of what kind of car they should get for them that's a really good that's a
00:45:35.180
good question i i do get that question and i tell people to go and test drive cars and get a little
00:45:41.780
bit of experience under their belt before they go and just drop their money on something drive
00:45:46.360
drive all as many as you can and through that experience just like anything in life you're
00:45:52.680
going to come out with an understanding of what it is you liked over something else and then at
00:45:58.920
the end of the day if you're buying used just try to buy something in your favorite color right
00:46:04.900
because you're going to be staring at it every day for a long time yeah if if you kind of have a
00:46:09.420
little inkling like oh i want something really loud but that's not really something you've ever
0.98
00:46:13.800
done before don't do it because it'll just bite you in the butt like if you get a lime green
0.95
00:46:18.660
porsche and you take it home and that's the rest of your house is pretty muted it's going to stand
0.80
00:46:24.420
like a sore thumb you're also going to get a ton of attention so you definitely need to buy a car
00:46:29.840
based on your current situation personality you know don't get in over your head don't try to
00:46:37.760
buy something and even that don't buy something by the price yeah just because a car is more
00:46:42.360
expensive doesn't make it cooler yeah everybody watching you drive around your car honestly no
00:46:47.080
one cares everybody's thinking about themselves don't buy something by the price is that what
00:46:51.520
you said yeah don't don't don't go and get an exotic car just for attention right like don't
00:46:58.760
go out and be like i think you know uh verde scandal aventador is going to be the best car
00:47:05.720
because it's going to get me a ton of attention right a lot of people don't like driving
00:47:10.900
aventadors like they're kind of clunky it's you got to get into how that car drives to appreciate
00:47:15.940
it even the svj which is the best version of that model line and i have people who are like i hate
00:47:22.520
the svj and i'm like that blows my mind because i love it one of my favorite cars of all time that
00:47:28.400
I've ever had right but that's the difference between people your experience what you do so go
00:47:34.720
out buy something that is definitely within your budget and buy something that you've done the
00:47:41.640
homework on based on maintenance because there are cars that require more maintenance like you
00:47:45.940
buy a Bugatti Veyron this is a little over the top but to some people Bugatti Veyron is still
00:47:51.240
you know it's only in that one one one to one you know call it two million for a rare spec but like
00:47:57.640
they're a million dollar car like I could have got that instead of a Senna here's a good example
00:48:02.000
I could have got a Bugatti Veyron for the same price I paid for my Senna do you know what the
00:48:08.120
service the service scheduling on a Veyron is well first of all the tires are glued to the rims
00:48:14.420
is that why they're so that's one reason or something yes yes you change the tires which
00:48:19.820
by the way you cannot take to any tire shop no it has to go car goes to the to Bugatti they take
00:48:26.320
that they used to take the rims and tires off i think there's a machine in north america that
00:48:30.020
does it now but they used to take your rims and tires off send them to back to france they'd take
00:48:34.640
your tires off they put new tires on for 55 000 usd you do that three times then you need to also
00:48:42.520
replace the rims because they're glued to the rims now you're like at a hundred plus thousand dollars
00:48:47.320
after three tire changes the oil change in that car is like 25 000 because they have to go in
00:48:55.740
take all the body work off i mean that car is ridiculous and then they made the sheer on which
00:49:00.000
has none of those issues it's normal tires you can put them on but if you don't understand what
00:49:05.660
you're getting into that's where you can get into hot water yeah and as you go into the later years
00:49:10.040
of supercars some of them have more maintenance like a murcielago i love this car but you got
00:49:16.140
to stay on top of the maintenance because it's got older tech it's the accessories that are going to
00:49:20.320
let you down it's like a belt or a pulley or you know your aco go out or the petcock valve on your
00:49:26.680
mercy radiator those are things that fail not the motor not the trans most of the time that's so
00:49:31.440
cool yeah i want to ask about gumball because i mean rallies again i was watching rallies it seems
0.72
00:49:38.780
like you guys are creating so much content you're meeting fans i mean your fans are ridiculous i
00:49:43.000
messaged you while you were doing i was like dude dm don't mess around they are passionate i love it
00:49:48.800
and the way you guys support them and give them like you did the the key things and you're just
00:49:52.780
always trying to just love on them um what if somebody's considering because i've never done a
00:49:58.460
rally the people that have supercars have never done a rally what would you say to them kind of
00:50:03.240
like buying a car start small okay right even if you could afford to go on gumball the next gumball
00:50:09.140
by the way is southeast asia we start in vietnam did you find the car because i know you came here
00:50:14.560
looking for one did you guys get the car that you're going to ship there i so in the end we
00:50:19.640
got my car done like no way literally by the last hour it was my eventador svj which i've already
00:50:27.240
done two of my three gumballs in so now it's going to do its third i shipped that car to europe and
00:50:33.080
back now that car is in a container on its way to vietnam so yeah i mean that's the big boy pants
00:50:41.640
rally right like that is on different continents than you live in your cars on there are and it's
00:50:48.080
how much is it to go to gumball like all said and done expenses travel shipping that depends on the
00:50:54.840
person okay so the entry fee for this one i believe is about a hundred thousand dollars usd
00:50:59.740
that doesn't include you getting your car to and from the event the events in vietnam so pay for
00:51:07.120
all that you pay for all your own gas you have to get by special insurance which is through gumball
00:51:12.740
so we're talking 100 i'd say i i will be into this with dave for dde as 175 000 usd expense
00:51:22.300
by the time we do the rally get back now dave and i are middle aged we're middle aged we're fun guys
00:51:30.440
to be around but we don't go to clubs you don't have a support team i don't drink yeah um and
00:51:36.400
when dave drinks he doesn't drink a lot he has a couple of drinks we don't do anything else we
00:51:40.420
don't do any recreational drugs gambling we don't uh i gamble a little bit but not like i don't like
00:51:45.560
some guys go like 20 50 grand in yeah i'd go and spend a few hundred bucks at a blackjack table
00:51:51.360
because it's fun but like that's where your expenses are going to add up if you're like
00:51:55.280
the person and there are guys that come out and do this who want to do like bottle service at the
00:52:00.640
club every night on gumball right the flex uh that gets i mean forget about the entry fee these guys
00:52:07.460
are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a week doing crazy stuff and i've seen it because
00:52:12.500
you can go to the club and watch someone and some of them you said like because of the the trunk
00:52:16.780
space we were looking at it's some of them have support vehicles they don't have to worry but
00:52:20.180
they'll do the sto yeah right sto there are people who are breaking there's a lot of sto's actually
00:52:25.440
on this year's gumball and the sto has zero this is the smallest frunk i've ever seen in my life
00:52:29.300
yeah it's only meant for a helmet it's like the barely fits a helmet it wouldn't fit a double xl
0.86
00:52:33.100
correct so yeah these guys are these guys are bringing support vehicles like escalades and
00:52:38.520
stuff that are wrapped to match their car some guys bring three vehicles and what's crazy is
00:52:44.180
in the middle east in europe you could rent an exotic car and do gumball you cannot rent a car
00:52:50.360
in asia so every one of the hundred plus supercars that are coming it's between 100 or 120 they have
00:52:57.680
every one of those cars is the person's actual personal vehicle so we call this like the big
00:53:04.240
boy version of gumball because you can't just you can't get out of the shipping fees and just rent
00:53:09.440
a car for 25 grand for no no you got to be all in you're all in let's go but if you're going to do
00:53:14.540
a rally i would suggest north america there's plenty of good rallies you go do gold rush rally
00:53:18.940
which i just did with my wife tons of fun you start in one location in north america drive eight
00:53:24.520
or nine days and in another location they have events planned all along the way um i really
00:53:30.120
believe that it's a lot of fun and that's why i did it you know so so wrapping up on that specific
00:53:35.960
theme what are your philosophies for people that like what would you tell somebody that owns a
00:53:42.800
supercar or is thinking to get one in regards to the ethos of sharing it with the the people
00:53:50.140
because like i you know like man you came to my office and you parked out front and we came out it
00:53:54.940
was a car show like literally and you were so kind letting people take photos and be around and
00:54:01.580
like do you is that something that you're like hey if you have these kind of cars you should share
00:54:05.820
versus trying to keep people away and get mad because they take a photo what was your what are
00:54:10.380
your two cents on that yeah again i think it comes down to your personality if it bugs you to have
00:54:16.780
that type of money invested in something and you take a lot of pride in it which I get you know
00:54:21.820
and you are nervous because maybe you've got some scar tissue from another experience or something
00:54:27.600
like that's on an individual basis I'm all about sharing I really believe what you put out to the
00:54:33.600
universe is what you're going to get back I always try to put out tons of positive energy I never
00:54:38.200
think about people hurting my car or having a door ding because people ask me all the time how
00:54:42.360
are you barking the santa amongst all the other cars they call me you know the regular cars when
00:54:47.360
you go to the grocery store when you're at the hotel and i just say well i don't know i've never
00:54:51.140
had a door ding i don't put that out there i don't think anyone's gonna hurt my car right i think it's
00:54:56.180
i think it's the mentality um i love sharing the car if i can i'll let people get in it if there's
00:55:01.960
a lot of people i say no because that you let one person in i try to you're done i try to be fair
00:55:08.180
right so if i let someone sit in it it's either going to be a child where i can be like oh i let
00:55:14.720
the kid sit in it you know and then i can say no to the you know 19 year old teenager and all the
00:55:19.140
other adults at a car show because i'm like i just let the kid sit in it for a sec and they're like
00:55:23.120
i get it but um yeah if you're around in a gas station i put plenty of people in my car so i've
00:55:28.000
had a few people just like again last week i was driving to senna i had at one gas station a young
00:55:33.340
kid get in and then i like had another gas stop the following day i had like probably a 65 year
00:55:39.680
old woman who was just losing her over this car and i was like i was like this is so cool
00:55:43.880
i don't normally get older women who appreciate the car you want to sit so i was like you want
0.90
00:55:48.640
to sit in it i was just pumping gas but yeah yeah i like it dude no one's gonna hurt the car more
00:55:54.220
than me right that's my opinion i'm like get in it kick kick the carbon on the way and it's all
00:56:01.740
ppf protected at all you have yeah damon i appreciate you on so many levels and um well
00:56:07.960

00:56:16.940
to buy supercars no man i uh you inspire as you know there's the people that you get to meet and
00:56:23.040
then there's bazillions of people you'll never know about that you've definitely inspired on
00:56:26.700
this journey and um i called the mclaire mindset like to your point what you just said the philosophy
00:56:31.240
of what you put out you get back to me i had this mindset that i didn't want to be too showy and to
00:56:37.880
you know i'm canadian i just i don't even wear a watch like i didn't want to be that guy i used to
00:56:41.560
i got rid of him yeah and then i realized i was depriving myself and everybody else because i
00:56:46.600
wanted to use my car to inspire to show them so i do stuff with that rescues we do we always bring
00:56:51.560
