I blew my f90 m5 motor the same way. Had a stage 2 tune and put no name gasoline in it. Bent a rod, and bmw wanted $55k to fix it. They brought it down to $47. I had it fixed somewhere else for $10k.. warranty was gone so I just sold it back to bmw dealership, without their knowledge of blown motor, which I’m sure they saw later. Anyways, glad to know I’m not the only goof to do this. Godbless u Matt, gf, and pops! I feel like I know u personally. From greater Los Angeles .. holler if u ever need help from a local!

[@DANIELRow-j9w]

I swear, I started watching your videos and then I realized 1 day that I just had to click on your site and there were all your videos and I started watching them. One after another and I knew that I had watched these videos before when you first started in the first year and I thought I have seen this guy before and I just started watching you again over the last few weeks. I knew I had watched you before. I had spoken with my brother about you and he knew all about you. It's a real pleasure watching you. Also, the quality of your videos is really fantastic. Your ideas and your shots are just incredible.

I usually don't sit and watch whole rebuilds from start to finish especially short ones. You got me for 3 1/2 hours. Bless mate! Great Content! explaining everything in depth for people who don't know but are interested. Keep it up!

[@DANIELRow-j9w]

Watching you truly is magnificent.I have never seen a young man such as yourself.Who's only been a mechanic for 3 years?Be so detailed and so thorough and know exactly what to look for in these cars. When they are so high tech. Now the Audi may not be as high end as the Ferrari McLaren or GT3. But that's what I love about you. Because you will work on anything. You are already a master and you don't even know it. Can you imagine going up against a guy who has been working on cars for 40 or 50 years. When I listen to you, solve a problem or go to plan B or plan C. It's like watching a conductor with a huge symphony and he knows exactly what to do with that particular part of the song. You automatically points at a specific musician. Or an area of musicians. Raises his stick and his hands. The entire area either heightens their notes or emphasizes them. That is why conductors become famous. You are famous in 3 years.Imagine where you're going to be in five or ten years. You are going to be bigger than you could possibly ever comprehend. I am a musician from Vancouver BC Canada. I have done a little bit of acting. But I never made it to the big time. I live in a building with a bunch of people that have been in the entertainment industry all their lives. I have to tell you this new thing with KZbin is off.The hook the things that you can get accomplished and the money that you can make with this is absolutely astounding. I love watching you.Achieve what you're working on and look on your face and the smile and your charisma and your father. Oh my God, I love it when he laughs and when you laugh. You guys are great together. It's so cool that you can have your father alongside of you. Doing things with you every step of the way, and he's like your best buddy.

[@DANIELRow-j9w]

You take these cars that are so extravagant. They are worth $250,000 to $350,000. They are so intricate and so complicated, but they never outsmart you. Somehow you always come out on top. So I said to myself.What about a car worth like a 7th or 8th or 9th of what kind of cars you're working with? Maybe you could or would be willing to look at an iconic car like a 1956 Ford Thunderbird. It is truly a jewel of a car. But I need a man like you with your heart and your vision to see this car looking like no one else could ever have imagined. I look at these old cars and I just think that they are so amazing. Because I'm 63.I'm old school.I don't care to drive a car that goes 240 miles an hour or a 190 miles an hour. I have always been scared to death with speed.

I had a drum kit back in the 90s.That was worth close to $10,000.00. But something happened to that one. I also owned a baby grand piano because I play piano. I had waited all my life to get one.This piano was worth $25000 and within 4 to 5 years. I wanted to see my girlfriend. I had known her since I was 18 years old.I am 63. She was 1700 miles away, and I was broke, and I sold the piano for $5000. It's sold in four days. At the time I was 56. I will never get another opportunity to buy piano like that. So it was a big mistake. But the heart wants what it wants and I wanted to see my girlfriend so badly. I love her so much and I'm still with her.
