It's crazy how many memories you can create with an automobile and just how attached to these inanimate objects we get over the years. The only bright side is that you have the memories to look back on through photos and video. Life can be incredibly unfair and random at the best of times. I wouldn't know what to do in a situation like this, especially with a car you've had for so long. I've been following the blog and the MK2 since the early days of the blog posts and loved seeing it or pop in Banzai or Dortien. Never give up on the dream of building that badass JZX100. I would love to see another example down the road. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. ❤️

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

We eventually have to part ways with all of our cars man. We can only create and hold on to good memories, which is good enough for me.

[@apIthletIcc]

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h Amen bro, cuz tbh the bad memories can drag on us. The good is what makes it all ok. It was worth it

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

@@apIthletIcc Exactly, why should you focus on the negative when it's an insane privilege to have owned and drifted a car like this. I guess that's at least part of the reason our boy didn't have a mental breakdown, he seemed mature about this. I like it, I had to move on from cars that I spent half my life with and didn't cry about it either, mine didn't burn down but I didn't have any replacement, so having to sell my one car is comparable to having one of your several cars burn down I guess.

[@apIthletIcc]

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h Dude ngl i cried a bit when i had to sell my s12. I was forced into it by the HOA in my neighborhood. They didnt like seeing my work on my car I guess. Had 1000 dollar fine for it, couldnt pay and they only way out was to sell it before a strict deadline. That almost really feels like it was stolen from me tbh... I feel for the guy though that def was a rough way to lose a car. and whether or not he knows it, it def became a part of alot of our life as well. Cant tell you how many times I scrolled yt and had my mind taken off the bs of life for a while watching this car. It's truly a loss for the motorsports community

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

@@apIthletIcc True, even as viewers we get attached to the car seeing it perform, change, crash and getting fixed and so on. But I didn't even shed tears for every single of my relatives who passed, so I literally tell myself to stfu if I get emotional about material goods which includes cars. I know cars mean more to us than material goods, but in that case we can use them differently than others and create memories that last. But it stays an emotional subject I want to buy a C32 AMG just because my first car was a similar C class and I learned to drift in it, even had a police chase in it and drove it across multiple countries. Other than that it has absolutely no appeal to me given the price point, but that's actually enough to make me consider buying one if I make a lot of money.

Almost a decade ago a friend of mine had a really nice, low KM R32 GTS-4. It had a bunch of rare parts on it, and he just spent somewhere in the area of $6000 getting it refreshed. One day when he was in the basement someone was pounding on his front door. It was a police officer telling him to get out of the house because the garage was on fire. After the fire was put out, his car was totaled. The only thing salvageable from it was his turbo sock. Apparently someone in his area was going around setting fires and had already burned down someone's house and a small business. It's always a shame to see something like this happen.

Ah man, a legend has left us forever. I hope you can keep your head up, that at least some of the damage is covered for you and all of it for the poor shop owner, and that you can find much joy in your next project, even if this one is irreplaceable. You're a source of inspiration for many of us, Alexi.

Sorry to hear about the loss of the mark 2. Breaks my heart to see the car in that condition. Keep your head up and be strong Alexi. How bout building a JZX100 Chaser next?

I was looking forward for the mark 2 restoration this is devastating... stay positive

Sorry about how this all went down. I can’t imagine what it must have felt like with the project being that close to completion. Definitely looking forward to the next project though! Also, please wear a proper mask or respirator if you’re going to work around that fiberglass any more! You can see tons of particulate in the video.

Ah geez sorry for the loss. Life just hits hard sometimes. The house attached to my house caught fire recently and we are still cleaning up just from the smoke, soot and water damage.

this one hits the feels...All the memories with this amazing chassis. All the amazing content! So sorry for the loss brother

About 2 years ago some of my old friends had the same happened to them. Their whole workshop burned down with cars inside and it's horrible. I was always afraid of that happening to me. The financial loss alone is insane, but the amount of effort and time been put into the car, and the memories are irreplaceable. I feel very sad for the workshop owner as well.... :(

[@k-willyy733]

Your mentality is everything! Truly an inspiration for alot of others. My deepest condolences for your loss and i hope your comeback is even better than before!

Sad to see something you've put blood and sweat into go up in a puff of smoke. I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost my dream car a few years ago to someone wanting it more than I. Found in Mexico, cut into multiple pieces and ready for scrap, it was identified by the vin stamp found on the cut up firewall. A lot of time, memories, blood, sweat and tears go into these cars. Best part though, you are still around to create another awesome vehicle. Vehicles can be replaced, you can not.
