[@swadings]

There is almost no KZbinr out there besides Cleetus that is truly wholesome, cares about his community, his employees, his family and anyone whose around. Been a fan since the early 2016 days and watched Cleetus grow over the years and the man is still the exact same man he was nearly 10 years ago let alone almost 20 years ago at his point. Never ever let the glory, fame and riches get to his head. Never ever see that in a human ever. Forever a Cleetus McFarland fan.

Garrett, Adam LZ, Derek (VGG) and many more, but these three in particular will always stand close to my heart as the most humble and non dramatic content creators of this era.

And that is a great feat considering what they are doing and how much content they have put out!

[@LRSNRCNG309]

I used to be a big lz fan but his attitude with people started putting me off and the way he always framed his videos as him always doing all the work, buying cars clearly for views n clout, using nicole for easy views, and alot of stories of fan interactions with him being a douche. I started watching just at when he started drifting n stopped when he was getting ready for pro 2, n since then ive always dubbed him as the chad kroeger of the car community cuz he acts nice on cam but hes a doucher behind the scenes from what all ive seen from his videos and fans

When Cody was on his grandpa's farm,.doing stupid sht in videos with Freed on camera, Those are still the best videos he has ever done. He used to make fun of Stradman for pushing merch, said he would never use fancy editing as it would take away from what the channel is about... Annnnnd then he started making big money... Money and fame change people. And while its understandable, and he is amassed quite the following now, and you have to change in order to grow.

Always great to see somebody that hung it all out there on a full send find success !

[@joshuamartin7443]

Always awesome to hear back story to the big timers of my time and see them grow. To know that at even the larger scale they have worries still and push past and strive. Thank you for the videos and entertainment we get on the regular. Makes me day to sit back and watch them do what they do

Cleetus, I have watched your channel from very early on and your channel has taught me so many things and thank you for that. Your savvy to stay in the groove and your support group to keep you from total insanity has been a blessing. Many videos one could see the the horrors you had tormenting you. I am so glad, as well as millions of others, you keep on moving forward. Bless you for paying it forward as Kyle has. Feel free to contact me anytime for my bucket list since retirement. Also God bless your family.

I love this dude's success. So well deserved, and a great, wholesome back story.

I’m just happy to have been along for the ride cleet, I’ve been here since your garage days with the turbo whistles.

The first video I noticed Cleetus could really drive was when he hopped in Sketchy Vert's T/A and dropped 1/2 second of his best et.
