I can relate to a lot of this man. Things will get better brother. You’re awesome for being real and transparent.

[@NotJanine777]

In business, you’ll probably fail more times than the average person even tries. Roll with the punches.

[@yawaydatruth6595]

Well said

[@DonSeldum]

I like this statement. Well said!

[@jackdiamondss]

Keep a stiff upper lip.

[@smashingbrandon]

Mental health is more important than worrying about uploading a car review . When you feel up to it we will all still be here supporting you man!!! I just know everything is gonna work out 😀

[@ObsessedGarage]

Mike, I can certainly relate. I think this is why it is so important you start thinking about building a business. Providing a service as a sole practitioner is not really a business. It is more like providing a service or selling insurance. Business is an excuse to be in relationship with others utilizing their combined talents to create organized leverage. If you go down for a period, your time invested in those people that work for you will allow your organization to keep going. You don't want to create mini-yous, but instead a group of people that combined can replicate what you do. If something happens to you, it probably won't do as well, but it should be able to keep generating.

[@maga5381]

Reading between the lines, it appears that he was trying to "build a business" of some sort, and it didn't work out.

[@fishhead90]

Very well said 🤝

[@RuthandBen]

Sorry to hear what you're going through Mike! Unfortunately it happens sometimes and you come out better on the other side! You're one of my favorite KZbinrs since you are very transparent and real about everything. Take all the time you need so you can come back refreshed!

[@Rob91981]

[@rickyhenagan7165]

Hello Mike, I’ve been a business owner (happily unemployed) for over 18 years. Unless you’ve gone through what you’re going through, you can’t understand for sure. You are an incredible storyteller and content creator or you wouldn’t have the committed following. I still have times when I think “what have I done?” but keep plugging along. I’ve had some interesting business dealings that drained me mentally but woke up after I got over the shock and realized it was a blip in the road. Life is great my friend. You have incredible vehicles and following supporting you. Looking forward to the excitement coming from your future videos. Take care my friend. You’re not alone.

[@thorntonbarrow1103]

Mike, in a world of fakes, it’s refreshing to here someone who is real. Thank you for always being transparent and real. I’m confident you’ll come thru this being ‘stretched’ and successful on the other side, as others have stated as well. Hang in there brother….we stand with you.

[@BenJames_76]

Sorry to hear you're struggling dude. I am too, lost my family and my main source of income all on the same day with not backup. That was January but somehow I am pulling through, you can too. I've enjoyed your videos now for a couple of years, keep going dude.

[@MHG507]

Keep going my man !! 💪🏻

[@jamesx7408]

sorry to hear that my dude, it will and does get better

[@olatunjiajilore5345]

Keep your head up Man

[@Lucid-Visions]

You are absolutely the realist most humane person I watch on KZbin the one who I can genuinely connect to that doesn’t make me feel like everything is scripted. You are an absolute gem and whatever you’re going through you’re gonna be fine you will make it through. Just hang in there.

[@thehuntgray]

Going through it too brother. Keep your head up. You put a lot of smiles on people’s faces

[@Shono731]

I have followed your channel for years! I have always loved your videos! I hope things get better with the struggles you are going through! Sending much love and prayers!! We are here for ya!! God bless ya!! Keep being the great person you are! 🙏🏼🚙😀

[@codyv8737]

Hope all gets better for you, Mike! Absolutely love watching your videos, and I know you’ll come out on top again! Much love, my guy… thanks for keeping it real!

[@harisqureshi7469]

Really sorry to hear about everything, a good guy like you doesn't deserve this. Wishing you and your family better days ahead.

[@tafawarw]

Best to you brother! Routing for you and the family!

[@coreyfinch6512]

Glad you’re making a comeback wishing you a wonderful turn around hopefully soon I get to see more of your videos

[@DrivenPetrolHead]

Been following for years, love the content. Stay positive and you will come back stronger.

[@Davit_Archvadze]

Dude, I've been constantly googling what happened with you for the past 2-3 weeks. Glad to see you in good health. You need to feel the strength of the KZbin family. Give us cases(you can change fields and names obviously) where you need help or advice, you still can't imagine how diverse your community is and what it can. ))

[@justbroadcast]

This is why I watched this guy since 2017. This guy is so honest, so down to earth, I wanna give him a hug.

[@asiancracka242]

Hey Mike, you have a loyal fan base that will always follow you and support your channel. Hope this moment in time of "bumpy roads” is short lived. Hang in there and take care of yourself and your family. Much respect for letting us know how you are and hope all turns out for the better!!

[@neilsharp3915]

Keep strong Mike, life always has ups and downs. It’s great to see you share this on your channel as many others will relate and understand that ‘it’s not just them’ that’s having a tough time

[@ivanhoe64]

We got you and appreciate all you do! Get yourself back on track and in the right space... We'll be here for you brother!! God Bless.

[@jeffmcguire2194]

Good to see you again on the channel Mike! Hang in there and rooting for you as you weather this storm. Thanks for always being authentic. Your followers will be here looking forward to your next uploads. Be strong big guy!

[@Rickster1965]

Just come back when you feel you’re ready!! Thanks for the update.

[@seanbrownell7609]

Love your content man and I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time. Your mental health is very important and I hope you start feeling more like yourself soon!

[@lshvartsberg]

Hi Mike. I’ve been watching your channel probably from the time you started. So glad to see you back! Hold on, man, the bad times will pass. Everyone goes through this from time to time and I’m sure things will get better for you. Keep on going and happy to see you back again.

[@danmackay3480]

Hi Mike......I'm 64 and I am battling mental illness as well. You video hit home with me. Regardless of what you hear, people just don't understand or except when you go through a tough spell. I really do enjoy your videos and yes I miss them, but what's more important is you. I hope you find your passion once again and not only tell you story but feel good about telling it. Thanks for sharing and take care of yourself.

[@MrOutPerform]

Have always appreciated your honesty on everything. I am sorry to hear what has been going on behind the scenes. You're a genuine person and i'm always rooting for you.

[@hansstorm1120]

Damn! You are my favorite KZbinr, Take the time, regroup and do what you do best. You are an awesome storyteller, honest and very transparent. You are truly unique and a huge inspiration and a joy to watch.

[@shamannoyhalder7422]

Thanks for updating man but we are all there for you when you’re ready again! Hopefully everything gets better soon

[@deanm72]

Take your time brother. You'll get through it. Love your videos man. Be well!

[@laurenhansman3447]

Thanks for the update and I look forward to more great videos.

[@ronnie24.8]

Thank you for sharing and being transparent. Keep pushing forward. 💪. This too shall pass. Wishing you all the best. From California. 😊

[@jerryhuffine9255]

Hi Mike, you’re a good man, stepfather and husband! I wish you happiness and please also know we are here for you! I really appreciate your videos, not just for the car content, but how good of a family man you are and how kind you are to your friends. A very genuine person! I don’t see that kind of quality in a person very much.

[@LivinWith3M]

Mike. Keep your head up and remember that at the end of the day we are all here for you. I started my channel a few years ago because of you. Thanks brother and can’t wait to see your next upload. 👍🏻🍻👊🏼

[@Emadavid]

I hope things get better for you, your honesty is appreciated.

[@TobinTwinsHockey]

Sorry to hear about this. I look forward to the next video and wish you the best.

[@benjones3437]

Hope everything is ok def have missed u my guy

[@RobertEaves]

Don’t stress Mike. You’re real and that’s why I watch your channel. All your fans will be here when you’re ready. I hope I can shake your hand one day if I ever get to visit your home town. Chin up mate it’s never as bad as you think, lean on your family and friends they will always be there to help.

[@jaydevine35]

Mike I love your videos man. You are genuinely a sound person and fair play on you being so open, BRAVE. Reset and get back to doing what you do best, clear the head keep at it. My son loves the videos also. Peace from Ireland.

[@zache3818]

I subscribed to your channel because you always seemed like a genuine guy and kept it 💯. This is just another video that shows that. It’s tough to show vulnerability and tell people when things don’t work out. But just know a lot of us out there can relate and it’s ok to feel like 💩 for a bit and take time for yourself. You don’t owe us anything most of us will still be here when you are ready to make videos again

[@codylucier4688]

I've been mentally struggling since covid. Everyone goes through struggles some people worse than others. I hope you get happy again mike. Your loyal fans will always be here . Get well brother

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Wishing you all the best. As a fellow creator I wanted to share that this video popped straight up on my notifications the second you posted It so KZbin does not mind you taking a break.

[@keneason775]

Prayers up for you, Mike. Enjoy your content and the fact that you're genuine.

[@DefinitelyNotYouThankGod]

I really hope everything works out man! We all love the vids and the dude behind the camera! Keep your head up brother.

[@dhibbitt1948]

Thank you for the update…Remember brother all of this is temporary…we try so hard to make our lives better and sometimes things just go south. But hang in the we are all here supporting your well-being

[@avfabs9068]

Stepping back for you is not a weakness. There’s so much pressure on a solo YT’er. You’ve done so well to be where you are, you have that talent, stick with it.

[@ViperGT2288]

Thanks for sharing your struggles. It’s easy for us to think KZbinrs have it easy and nothing ever goes wrong because we only see the good parts. But these videos help everyone realize we all have struggles and can relate to you better.

[@donaldfleming3161]

Thanks, and I hope everything works out for you! I totally understand what you may have gone through.

[@CJr_M]

Yeah I understand you Mike. I've been broke the entire year, because I went through a breakup from a 7 year relationship, right in the beginning of January. It affected me so badly that I wasn't fit to teach. I teach online, so I can't exactly work if I'm not in a decent enough state of mind. I'm way better now, so I've been back at it for the last 2 weeks. Hope you get better too and to anyone else who's going through it.

[@Mike-dd8bd]

Females are usually the causes of most problems in a mans life.

[@S550Luke]

Hope you feel better. The power of prayer changes things no matter the significance of the issues you're going through.

[@joshmathie6437]

Keep your head up!!! We all can relate in one way or another and I’m sure I speak for most people when I say thank u for being honest and giving an update.

[@kiddiedemzmaggz]

Mike God bless you! I have never been a car lover if it wasn’t for you and your crazy stunts on the RangerDanger! Keep your head high up and keep fighting in life. All your subscribers and fans are here for you! God bless you and your family.

[@mikedee42]

We all go through it. Take your time brother.

[@daddacooper1981]

Keep your head up champ, look after yourself and your family, look forward to seeing you back online. Big respect for opening up. Nuff love from England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@ImmortelAssassin]

Sorry to hear things haven't ben going as planned. I can say you are one of my favorite KZbinrs to watch. Keep your head up and keep on pushing. We are behind you. You will always have our support.

[@Baserati]

I have been here since the beginning and enjoyed and always appreciated your real genuine you. Take care man. There are no highs without lows. I know it is easy to say but as a business owner and went through the lows i hope you clim up again. Stay positive, meditate, get rid of negative influences and stay true to yourself. I hope we can see and enjoy the new and improved version soon

[@scottmiller3815]

Dude , we will always be here waiting for you !! Take your time. I really enjoy your videos especially since I’m from the same part of town.

[@ep3468]

Going through it myself brother I know the feeling.. it can’t rain forever hang in there! You got this 💪🏽

[@Steelbee]

Hope you feel better Mike. Been an OG follower since the dealership days. You do you. Stay positive! Looking forward to more videos.

[@velizardell6136]

We're here for you man! Long time follower. Love your content. Take care of things and come back stronger!

[@paul33ify]

Mike, It takes a robot to continuously put out videos consistently for "YEARS"! It takes a real man to reel it back for a moment and regroup. Happens to the best of us! Take your time brother. I'm rooting for ya! 🤘

[@dsilver378]

Its not what you did meaning how many videos u put out but how you made people feel🙏god bless brother😉

[@andrewlund5343]

Thanks for explaining, and being transparent. Your mindset is what drives your home life, business, and our entertainment. So, thank you. Have a great day! Hopefully, everything will work out and you’ll stay ahead.

[@MrHellz609]

Hang in there Mike we missed ya! Godspeed brother from a fellow business owner! Stay the course 💯💪🏾

[@richardm6]

Things will pick up mate, business (and life in general) is about how you bounce back from setbacks. Krya på dej!

[@Chip_33]

Brother I admire you for being so honest and a similar thing happened with me last November and I have been in a dark place too for months but things are starting to look better for me now and I’m sure the same will happen with you… Love your channel and take your time your health is your wealth and these are strange times we live in now so I wish you all the best and take care of yourself and come back when your ready and you will smash it again soon!!!

[@bobleone1381]

Prayers for you. We all have things to deal with in life. We all have a cross to carry. I wish you the best and pray you can get refocused on whatever it is you love. God Bless and stay well.

[@hanscom0790]

Bro we ❤ you. Always remember you come first, take care of yourself and the faithful will always be here for you. Your mental health is important and that is for everyone. We will be here when your ready.

[@malikchams3932]

The comeback is always stronger than the setback! keep your head up Mike!

[@TheSaintshockey03]

I always look forward to your video's, Ive been watching your channel since day one.. Its just one of the glitches in life that happens from time to time... You have a great following and being truthful as you are it will only get bigger.. Hope to see your next video's whenever they come out, I'll always be looking for your channel ... Godspeed you and your family, success and good fortunes...

[@epicon6]

Wish you all the best Mike! Patience will go a long way.

[@sasa.radovanovic77]

Kör på, jag gillar dina videos. Det är skönt att ha en svensk i denna youtube djungeln. Kämpa💪🏻

[@josephwood6112]

Making a video about why you’re not making videos.. modern humans

[@kubyoindiya3269]

what

[@PCgamestech]

Crazy just the other day I was on youtube trying to find a new video from Autovlog and I could never find one so You were being thought of and I hope all is well and hope it gets better.

[@MrKLenning]

Hey Mike, wishing you the best with your situation. Take all the time you need. I'm a loyal subscriber and will always enjoy your videos!

[@MJmusikstix]

Get well soon man. There’s not much more important than your mental health. We’ll be here when you get back.

[@jochenheiden]

I almost forgot about this channel!

[@richardmorris7063]

There's a few that quit altogether. I sub to about 10 car created videos & when they're trying to do it all on their own its difficult. Coming up w/ fresh content, the camera work, you're literally producing a 10 min movie!

[@jeremyspain6234]

Keep your head up! Sending positive vibes your way!

[@juelzsantana211]

I’ll never forget when I found your YT and you had the first W205 C63 and your reactions after you got your car back was priceless. However glad to see you’re still alive and well. Do what you gotta do. Take care of yourself and personal life.

[@akashk911]

Guy got famous for shifting a ford fusion in reverse while driving forward at 70 mph. Gave up job to do yt fulltime. Running outta juice is bad for everyone if you got only one formula to make videos. Makes a vid after 5 weeks and has a sponsor too? How convenient!

[@trbstang]

Been missing you man! Take care and do what you can, when you can. It's always a good day to see a video from you.

[@goaliepro1996]

Love you Mike ! Started watching your channel when you tossed the key fob out the window of your fusion!!!❤ do what you need to do

[@pebu8120]

Ive been following you for long time. I like all of them. Hope your situation gets better soon and always waiting for your new video in the near future!

[@russdogg2119]

It all becomes overwhelming sometimes. Good for you for recognizing. Just keep going, that’s all any of us can do! Love ya!

[@dobie25fan]

You are not alone mike, thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family. We are here for you

I hope you feel better and resolve your problem. I understand how you feel mentally. Special when things don’t turn out how you hoped! God bless you brother!!

[@smoovy07]

Strong 💯👊🏾. We learn and move on . And just remember you healthy smart so you will make it back .

[@Funexpected]

You're a down to earth guy, and I like seeing your videos appear in my feed. One of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@campnansen]

Honest videos are the best! Sad to hear that things haven't worked out the way you were told. Love the positive attitude! Take care, can't wait to see more content in the future 😊

[@scottvernon2258]

Good to have you back for a bit. Sorry to hear about the troubles. There will be high moments on the horizon through

[@KenBowtie]

Keep your head up and persevere! The old saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is very true. You’ll learn a lot from whatever it is you’re dealing with, and you’ll be smarter/stronger moving forward as a result of this experience. Keep your head up an take another step forward - good times are on the horizon. This is always the case for those who have been truly successful.

[@smsunder]

Sorry to hear this, Mike. Thanks as always for the honesty partly why I like your channel. Stay strong and we look forward to seeing more videos.

[@MusicandTractors]

Your honestly is one of the best qualities about your channel. You are just real and down to earth. It’s never forced or fake.

[@Diazjohn27]

god bless you mike, thank you for always being transparent. We are here for you!

[@mikemcbeehtx]

Keep pushing Mike and focus on you and the family . You are the best man and you have our support through thick and thin.

[@RD-wm3fo]

Youve been awesome so far I think we all have been there. I hope you take some time for yourself and come back stronger than ever!

[@matthewjacobs7123]

I respect your honesty with your personal life and the reality of trying to make interesting videos everyday and trying to live in the real world too. This should be talked about more....

[@DNF666]

We totally respect your honesty, part of why we watch your videos 🙂 Hope you get well soon, better days are coming. Grtz from Belgium.
