Living In My Car || Spring Cleaning || A Few Deliveries || Cracker Barrel For Dinner

In today’s video I take you with me through a full day of self-care, including going to the gym, doing the laundry, cleaning my car inside and out and treating myself to some dinner at Cracker Barrel. The plan was to sleep over there, but there was a mysterious person in the parking lot. Will I stay or will I go? Watch and see!

Hey Bren! I would usually never comment on videos, but I really felt compelled to add this. At first when I started watching your videos, I thought it was sad that you lived in your car. I can't lie, I thought it was ridiculous. However, watching your videos over a longer period of time has shown me a different side of your experience. Your mental fortitude and resilience is in full display in all of your videos. I know that I wouldn't have the mental strength to be able to rebound like you have. You leave me inspired every time you post a video. From being a critic to a fan, every day you continue to inspire with your fortitude, resilience, and general upbeat attitude.

[@brenpgrace]

Wow. That means a lot. I appreciate your perspective and your honesty. Thank you!

[@bladisaveur9691]

Salut et bonjour Ben je suis nouvelle abonné votre vidéo m à touché et je vous souhaite que d ici la fin de l année vous reprendrez une maison ou apoart et que vous soyez heureux votre courage et votre mentale va vous aider à vous en sortir un grand salut de BELGIQUE ET JE ME SUIS VITE ABONNEE COOL VOS VIDÉOS ET MERCI😊😊❤❤❤❤

Agree

[@mga7600]

Oh Bren I was a little worried on that guy at Cracker Barrel - and you notice him which is good - cos you don't know if was scoping out other vehicles or just chilling all day? Only thing I notice when you start to put your window pads is that you don't cover your windshield? So far nothing has happen but having someone like the guy at Cracker Barrel - you never know if there a person scoping out vehicles walking by and looking in thru the windshield? So a suggestion - have your front windshield cover you know like a sun shade to cover the front - just don't want anything to happen to you - your a cool guy - I like that about you. 😊 be safe.

I know Ben hasn’t posted in a while. In the meantime let’s continue binge watching all his prior videos to show our support for his channel so that he continues receiving revenue! Ben, if you read this we got your back! We love you man! Don’t give up ❤️

[@gavinsnana]

I love this suggestion! I did binge watch during the time. It’s great to know that there are so many people that truly care about and support Bren. Bottom line he’s so easy to care about. It’s his authenticity, unique sense of humor, work ethic, determination, honesty…a real inspiration and example of how it looks to be a good person. I wish there were more people in our world.

[@Kyla94934]

I couldn't stop watching his videos if I tried. I've already re-watched a few and I haven't worked my way through them all yet

👊my dude, thanks.

[@claycarpenter8625]

Fellow car sleeper here. I had a great day today. Rare Saturday but had a lumber delivery and worked a couple hours. Then I went to wafflehouse for breakfast and then to the PF. I finally upgraded to the black card and decided to try out the massage chair and hydro massage. Took a shower. Washed my car then took a long walk along the river downtown and had a cup of coffee in one of those hipster coffee houses. Came back and just finished watching "King of New York". This life has its moments sometimes but still loving it for what it allows me to do and save.

Uh oh ... escaped orange!!! One day I got in my car and was hit in the face by the most noxious smell --- I couldn't figure out what it was. After a lot of searching, I found a large stalk of broccoli that had escaped a shopping bag a week before. It had rolled under one of the seats and while it wasn't moldy or soupy, it was pretty wilted and smelled like death! LOL

[@brenpgrace]

Oh yeah that gross!

From my limited experience, the reason some places object to car campers is they are concerned about people relieving themselves, putting up a tent, and also people setting up cooking facilities outside the vehicle. When you have all of those on-board, it's not such an issue.

Bren, (aka. My honorary Asain Brotha), everytime I watch your vids I realize how much of a lazy MF I am. You get so much done in one day and with such discipline. I used to be a spoiled guy who's parents gave him everything and one day I woke up and worked for a living. I literally wear a blue collar for a living and I can tell you how much happier I am. I couldn't imagine myself stuck at a desk doing what I got a degree for. One thing your videos remind of is how blessed I am to enjoy things that so called well to do people take for granted. To those people, a Jersey Mike's sandwich is just a cheap quick meal to hold them over for a fancy dinner . While people like us savor every bite. Keep up that disapline and constructiveness! I know you definitely are destined for bigger things! Oh, and don't stop playing with those action figures. I'm over 50 and I still pull out the star wars toys from time to time! Can't wait to see your future plans to make sight seeing vids when you eventually get your place. 👍

[@brenpgrace]

Thank you so much my Asian brother! 🙇‍♂️

[@annajustice7620]

wow, those subs are climbing SO fast. I was here when it was less than 3k (not so long ago.) Congrats on 24.5k subs! I met a homeless couple having so much trouble finding an apt because they did not have the upfront $ they all require, so they were in their car. I told them about you/your channel and the extra cash you told us you were able to make having a channel and sent them a link. I hope they are watching. (Hi Tracy!) : )

Hi Bren. I have been watching your channel for awhile now. 1st video was probably your infamous "Snow Day Deliveries" that earned you a lot of subscribers. Your positive growth and overcoming some difficult personal challenges is awesome to watch. Congrats on KZbin earnings and making big inroads on becoming financially stable. I know your son is so proud of his hard-working dad! Cracker Barrel was my husband and l and our two daughters' favorite place to eat down home country fixin's. There are a lot of sweet memories of stopping at one off the interstate on family vacations or eating at one in our hometown for Thanksgiving or anytime. The girls loved their famous peg game, checkerboards and cozy fireplaces. Your meal looked delicious and those mouth-watering buttermilk biscuits do make you want to kick up your heels. I love a clean vehicle although my currect car has been neglected since l am older and don't take it to the car wash as often as l should. But thru the years, l have washed and detail cleaned a Chevy Conversion van with a hightop roof (even climbed up the ladder and scrubbed said rooftop with a long handle brush) and a 4 dr. F-150 truck and sedan cars and jeep. Next time l will tell you my Starbucks story. There is a Dunkin Donuts near my church but it has a low rating and receives bad reviews so l don't go there which is a shame since it is cheaper than Starbucks. Shucks, every place to buy coffee is cheaper than Starbucks! Have a blessed day! God Bless!
