Some of the Hoonigan content was great, but what you're making is better than MOST of what Hoonigan put out.

thank you!

I agree, most of the Hoonigan stuff was a bit too... hectic for me. Whereas this just has a nice vibe.

I didn't know that the Hoonipig was going to be on display at the inaugural Arizona RADwood show last October. I was so shocked and delighted to see it in person. It's just incredible.

Your talent was being wasted at Hoonigan. I am really enjoying your vids. Also glad to see Ron too. All the best to the old Hoonigan crew and glad to see all of you doing other things.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Yeah, the NSX was, and still is the underrated Sportscar. Not because of it's performance, but it's longevity and the focus it has on the experience.

[@toddrose5638]

Larry Schumacher’s purple and white GT2 Porsche 911. One of the greatest race cars in the 90s. Plus how about that sick Lexus ES350 in the background, lol looks just like mine 😂, yeah Ron evo is kinda cool.

Man, such great content for only 17 eps in. You're on your way to the top Vin, so sick, particularly the driving content at the end. That Mitsubishi is on fire.

[@ewingfox6459]

Killer as always, you tell a great story and every episode I'm learning something new without wasting our time with "so, after you watch me eat breakfast" filler. All my toys are slow, old, or old and slow - but you have gotten the wheels turning about setting up another car!

One of my favorite things about the NSX is the way the engine sounds, and how it completely changes tone once you reach the VTEC changeover (I got to drive a 93 NSX back in 08 or 09)

[@vin_tra]

Funny cause the vtec is so smooth and subtle in the nsx

[@ForOdin]

@@vin_tra it was more of the tone of the engine that changed, it went from a normal V6 growl to almost a shriek. Mind you, this was also about 15 years ago, and I’ve suffered a few head injuries since then.

[@wooloongabba]

Vin you have quickly become my fave Car channel on youtube , great work my friend . The passion is real

[@dailydriven991]

I literally laughed out loud when you were talking about the 997 engine access/view. My 991 requires the bumper, electric spoiler, and probably airbox to come out to see what you see hahaha.

[@MISTERZACHARY]

The universe doesn't want us to have nice things.

[@jass2085]

As a dealer tech…I’d rather work on a late 997 engine than a 991 or 2. They just get progressively more buried😭😭😭

Guess it's time for some higher compression.

Soooo nice when a car breaks it turns into a super easy fix. Not a sole goes through "repair anxiety", when a car breaks, is it major? Is it minor? Immediate stress relief when a repair is super easy.

Nothing better than the top floor target parking at Angeles crest.

[@megansuefry5408]

Having driven dozens (maybe over 100?) cars worth six figures, which ones would you say are the best driver cars. Maybe pick three. If you wanted one street car, one track car, and one show car, which three would you choose? Another question, do you ever get super uneasy driving other peoples’ cars? I’m ALWAYS anxious, be it a car worth $10k or $80k. My cars are my babies and I think of everyone else’s cars the same way. I’d feel terrible if it got destroyed. Thanks for another great video! Here for the long term. 😁

[@vin_tra]

This car is easily the best to me. It is so solid and robust. When i drive other peoples cars im like 10000% on edge and pretty careful but always thankful.

[@megansuefry5408]

@@vin_tra yet another reason to desire a M6 GT3 RS. Haha. A buddy of mine let me take his M6 Jungle Green VF (Chevy) SS to PowerCruize in 2021, and it was one of the most nerve racking experiences at first. I expressed that to him, and he told me that it’s just a car and worrying about crashing it would most likely result in doing so. To focus on driving it and have fun. That’s what I did, and that weekend is to this day one of the best experiences of my life. Being towed around the campgrounds in sex swings (aka hitch hammocks) hanging from the back of an atomic green VE Ute was icing on the cake.

[@skylerbruner3065]

I had the same reaction when I first seen one of those hose clamp tools😂

Sounds like you really dodged a bullet with the GT3RS. Glad it wasn't anything worse. You've got some proper nice driving roads round your ends 🤩 looks like they're a whole lotta fun!

[@AmeerAli-ex6ms]

heya! Strongly disagree on the 360 comment but the steering is due to a quaife quick ratio rack :)
