Before I went to Venice Beach and visited my old store I went to the Culver City call show right in the heart of Culver City. The Sony studios are right next to it over 600 cars were displayed from movie, cars, classic cars, hyper cars, all timers and low riders on the beach itself, it was really overcast and cold. It is such a weird feeling not to have that store anymore.

Happy Mother's Day GIV's Mom!

[@irishgip71]

Now that you’re “unemployed”, you can travel more and take us with you. Much respect sir.

[@h3agler]

Do some videos from other Cali towns

[@chrisrickiy5023]

Thank you G,I,V your videos always make my day. I'm going thru really bad P,T,S,D & depression & anxiety watching you makes all my crazy thoughts go away thank you.

[@heatherwhatever7714]

Good idea.

[@lilia2985]

​@@chrisrickiy5023I feel the same way at the moment and this is also why I really enjoy watching G.I.V., because he and his voice calm me a lot from my intrusive and anxious thoughts. I am with you emotionally and send you a hug from Cologne:)

[@Stephen-lx9nm]

F.california 😂

[@Gamesso1slO0l]

there is just something about Mike that is welcoming and real and its why I just keep coming back.

[@teresaalford5978]

I LOVE LOVE CAR SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!!

[@1029db]

You’re a free man now, you can let your creativity flow. These videos are Awesome and bring me happiness regardless of when they are nostalgic, sad or happy. You have a great soul that is why people enjoy you and the videos.

[@LabourPartyFan]

Exactly - well said.

[@paulasantiago2621]

Happy Mother’s Day to your lovely mom !!

[@FolkatKaatClove]

Mike, I was researching an early 20th Century author the other day and ran across this quote by her. "Not every day may be good, but there's always something good in every day." Ain't it the truth. Hang in there. You have brought smiles to so many people. The universe's return on that will lead you to an unanticipated blessing. Something good is just around the corner. Suddenly, the answer to what you want to do will pop into your brain when you're not even thinking about it. GiV in Venice is a cultural institution. Thank you for being you.

[@crystalmorey5548]

There should be a Venice walk of fame, and a big Star for the GIV. Your star shines bright always Mike , keep doing what you do. ❤

[@rosegardenia8588]

Great Idea

[@Mickcotton]

What a Joke 😂

[@theresa_lili]

I don't think people would complain about anything you film. Well, except Daisy. Your videos are so enjoyable no matter what you film. I think there's been one that I wasn't really interested in, I still watched it. You are such a personable person, people are simply drawn to you. Please wish your mother Happy Mother's. Number one mom right there. Bless you

[@gstevens6948]

Happy Mothers Day to Mom in Deutschland .. 💐💐💐 🇩🇪🇩🇪

[@debraparker833]

First, "Happy Mother's Day to your lovely Mom in Germany". Don't be sad Mike about not having your store on Venice Beach, sometimes change is good. As one door closes another opens. You are the real deal, very kind, generous and humble heart. I enjoy your videos ( I am a subscriber too), so interesting and fun to watch. Good luck on your new journey life brings you. You have a good heart. Take care.

[@MrJojo2go]

I use to work at Sony Pictures for 5 years as a Security lot patrol and I had full access to everything and sometimes all by myself for hours. Now I which I would take some pictures. 👍🏻😁👍🏿🇵🇭🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@aaphotofilm]

We love you Mike, you may of shut down the store but you still come back stronger and stronger on youtube

[@iinezlee6534]

I used to live in Culver City in the 70's. Thank You for the showing of what it looks like now Mike. ❤

[@princessmarlena1359]

I miss those car shows, sometimes I would see an occasional celebrity, and I enjoyed the restored or replica classic and iconic makes and models.

[@justAmy51]

You can be the new Huell Houser! You are so nice like him and your love for California is real!❤

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Don't get low. Back in the 80's I was homeless, living in a storage unit before they banned that practice. But now I'm high and mighty, might be broke but not broken. ❤

[@docevans8500]

Mike, you are so loved.!!! You have made your mark, and no one will forget it. ❤

[@nathanwebster2383]

That little white convertible is an Austin-Healy "Bugeye" Sprite.

[@rollinblackout8201]

A friend of mine used to autocross one of those.

[@user-zq1tu1xz6f]

Here in Europe we call the car ''frogeye''🐸

[@soloracer1]

​@@rollinblackout8201 a friend of mine still autocross one. Has a 400 hp turbo rotary .It's so modified. Multi champion in SCCA EM

[@PaulR-lk9ry]

Very cool bugeye

[@sherriandranigian8998]

Good Sunday evening, Mike, One door closes, and another opens. California has many beautiful and interesting areas, for you to video & share with your subscribers from around the world. May Peace be upon us all.

[@jomarielopez2229]

Great video GIV! I love when you interject a photo, giving us a snapshot of the past and present. You are a great commentator and I love your eye for details!

[@wauliepalnuts6134]

I hope you hit 1 million subscribers this year.

[@parislove616]

GiV - Roadtrip up the California Coast !!! 😎🍿🌴🌊

[@gcrauwels941]

Happy Mother's Day to your Mom, Mike. Cherish her while you can. 🙏 Thanks for showing us the car show.

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Not long after I retired at 66 years of age, I felt like, "yahoo, I don't have to go to work today!" That was just over a year ago and yet I only sort of miss it. Great coverage of the Culver City car show. I knew that you'd pass by your old shop as soon as you mentioned Venice. Thanks for this nice video.

[@toddweierke9065]

GIV Thanks so much for the free car show!!! And for closing your store? Remember better things will come TRUST ME.

[@DanO530.8]

You made the right choices mike plus your mom is getting older and she will need you from time to time for support hopefully your you tube channel gets a million subs who knows you may have another idea for something else change is a good thing…

[@user-fe3vp1xq7h]

So you came from his place ,so very sad about Suki s passing Roxy is a blessing for him So sad about your store ,maybe another one in the future??? Love your videos 😍 Have a wonderful day or night whichever!!!!! 😊

[@APERSON2POINT0]

Hey another vlog chatting in the car. Love it. I hope to see daily videos from the GIV. 🎉❤

[@MashaT22]

Happy mom’s day to the GIV’s mom. We love what you’re doing, Mike. Change takes time to sink in, but you did the right thing. The right thing is often tough to let go, but if you were losing money, it made no sense to hang onto it even though you loved that shop so much. You never know what the future brings, and this KZbin channel leaves you free to be your own boss from anywhere in the world. Keep at it. You are an amazing person.

[@dianelambert7072]

LMAO! I love the tray of stuff on the dashboard of the Breaking Bad RV. I wish they would've let you inside!

[@gstevens6948]

Tico just has such a beautiful, calm spirit about him… ❤

[@cooldesertbreeze23]

That Pug hat was Hella cute

[@died4us590]

You did make me smile GIV, you're to funny. I love seeing the old car's, and the movie car's are pretty cool to. They should have let you film the inside of the RV, i would have liked to have seen it. Sometimes they are nice inside, but some are torn up from filming, or if they had more than one. Say happy mother's day to your mom from me. My mom loved gone with the wind, it was her favorite book and movie. I sure miss her, she died in 2016 from cancer in less than five day's of finding out she had it. Getting older is a bummer when your parent's, grand parents, and aunt's and uncle's pass away. I really like your mom, she seems like such a good mom. I hope you find a way to sell your art, because you make some cool stuff. Much love to you, and thanks for the video. G-d bless.

[@rogivokgel]

i miss cali ... keep up the good work & showing us cool places

[@Tom_Emody]

Man that Citroen is such a classic beauty…. Thank you GIV…you are the gift that keeps GIV-ING. ….Tom

[@josephrapisardawizzardmast2919]

GREAT VIDEO MIKE THANK YOU ❤ You made the right decision on your shop 💯 👍

[@jackcakeblack]

Very nice car show thanks for sharing.

[@CACendrillon]

Aww...wowwww great video!!! Love you man. Love how so many people recognized you everywhere. You're a celebrity.

[@CHIKaur1111]

Imagine 20 years from now a young Ytuber ( or whatever is fancy then ) standing on the boardwalk in Venice , with a printed still from the Barbie movie , of course the scene where the store is visible . Telling their viewers about the famous GIV …. And recreating the view with the „I heart Venice „ mural on the door .

[@whoisharo4689]

Happy you're following your path brother. Don't be sad about the store.

[@angusorvid8840]

It's a very weird feeling not to work anymore when you've been working for years at the same place, whether for yourself or as an employee. I've had this experience three times in my life and for me they were more significant experiences than my high school or college graduations or any weddings I've ever attended. My grandparents had a store and when it closed after thirty-one years it was an absolutely surreal experience. I was there the day it opened in 1975 when I was a kid. When I quite a retail job after twenty years I had to pinch myself. I couldn't believe I didn't have to get up the next morning. I got up anyway and spent the day in a haze. Then, after five years of rideshare driving I quite because the pandemic made it too dangerous to work but I was going entire days without a ride request. I got the message. I started working from home, then did started to do delivery work for a construction company. I can't imagine ever working any job again for twenty years, never mind ten. The world is just too topsy-turvy.

[@Ay-B]

Aw, Mike! It's normal to grieve a loss. Take your time. I loved the car show - it was different because of all the movie cars. Thanks for your hard work!

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

When we go the museum or car shows they are all parked. It was nice to see these old cars driving nicely still. Upkeep and passion needed for sure

[@BUGZYLUCKS]

Sad times no greater childhood memories for me than the old Venice beach .

[@jefferymorris4644]

Smile and happy mom day to your wonderful mom. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@queserasera1674]

First time to Culver City! I always love to see the old cars and interesting people and of course you GIV.

[@user-tl7mu1rf5v]

I love watching you every day .

[@OkinInc]

Just dropping ❤ for the GiV! 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇳🇿

[@lynaebailey]

Great video! The car show was nicely filmed and It's especially fun seeing so many of your subscribers and their reactions to seeing you!

[@oliviasoliz5983]

Happy Mother's day to your mom 🌷 hope she had a great day.

[@mikeneidlinger8857]

I lived right by the boardwalk in 1998. They had a great Mexican Burrito Spot that did a lot of business. I went to visit my mom in 2004 and it was gone. Amazing. One of my favorite Boardwalk People was the Yoga Dude. I went to his house a bunch of times for lectures. The first time he offered me food I was fasting. I told him I had fasted 45 days in The Redwood Forest of Santa Cruz, California.

[@stephenvanpoortfliet1473]

GIV, Stay strong and keep your head up. The struggles you are going through now will not last. You are a beautiful human being and this current situation will not last. Keep fighting and moving forward brother, all will work out just the way it should.🙂

[@virginiawestcot3111]

Love the cars love even more so many people say hello and watch your video's that's fabulous ❤

[@CynthiaGuarnotta]

I really enjoyed that car show Mike!! Wow those car s were so cool, I love your comments too. sometimes the best stuff are not planned. Thank you for that and Happy Mothers Day to your Mom too. Keep up the great work. Venice will always be there for you, dont worry about that. Be well and God bless you. Ciao bello!

[@alliekuma4234]

I love your humor through this. Good things are coming your way.❤ Keep your head up.

[@RyanBromhead503]

Even though Mother's Day is over in the UK Happy Mother's Day to GiV's mum Even though the store is gone, the memories will be forever.

[@cronixs0o]

When one door closes another opens. :-) Keep up the great vids. Viele Grüße aus Niedersachsen!

[@courtneesdad]

Mike. The car shows are my favorite videos. Ask the owners about their cars next time. Car owners love when you ask them about their cars. They treat them like they are their children. And we love hearing about them ❤️ And that truck was my favorite too

[@ralphl8055]

Very enjoyable ,nice seeing all the different sites,thanks Mike, 💯🇺🇲👍🙏

[@lorainefabricius3824]

Good video GIV. It has been a sad weekend here too. Mom’s now resting beside my dad. Dad was from Berlin and mom from Brazil. I know you will find great things to show us. I love the roller skating park. Wish I had one here in Huntsville Ontario Canada. Best of luck.

[@lilia2985]

Condolences to you, dear Loraine, may you be able to heal from the pain and sorrow soon and be protected by your beautiful angel parents. Never give up on your joy and happiness in life.💛

[@rosepetals3752]

Great video! It will get better. Great tjings are ahead for you. Bigger things. 😊

[@JWjalone]

Try watching you daily, today was Mother’s Day and my son called me from Germany, was so nice! Seen the photo of your store on outside.. still looks cool, i think that you will always find some more interesting vlogs on your channel , you have a good voice and a very creative talent that most of us don’t!!

[@MikeKelly-ku6rq]

GIV thank you for the video. Loved the Batmobile. Still have my 1960's Gorgi toy Batmobile that has the quick release front blade and three rocket launcher tubes behind the seats. Lost all the plastic rockets that came with the car so now I use broken up tooth pick pieces to launch when I play with my grandchildren.

[@steveaustin-tatorcrusader]

Great videos aren't always planned. I enjoyed every minute of it.🙂 Keep being cool 😎 Thanks

[@w.arning]

My favorite art is the functional stuff.😊

[@user-rx9lx7ry8i]

Greetings from Tijuana México, Víctor Mendoza here... It broke my heart that you lost your store.. I've been a follower since basically the beginning of your channel... I feel so sad, I got my visa to go to USA and had the illusion that I would go to visit and meet you personally at your store in Venice.. Now I guess it will never happen.. So devastating. I wish you the best in your future endeavors 😔

[@OkinInc]

Me too from 🇳🇿. Was hoping to go to Venice and hopefully met Mike. 😢

[@patrickbraae762]

I would definitely buy a bundle of your artwork. Stickers and post cards!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Always enjoy a good Car Show!!!!! 🤜🤛 🙂

[@smueller77]

Don’t be sad Mike :( And even though you didn’t plan anything this video turned out great! I love watching all your videos. I’ll always support you 🙌👍

[@derekthomas4166]

Great video Mike. Love the car shows. Keep them coming buddy.

[@michaelross7853]

There is a common misconception that the mansion house was used as the site of Tara, the home of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. The building was seen in the film credits but Tara was a separate building constructed on the Forty Acres backlot

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY GIV MOMMA ❤🎉. I Loved the car show.. so many neat cars and I love you telling us all about them. Black n Yellow... camaros are my favorite 😍 💕.
