I Cried After I Drove My McLaren For The First Time

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

It was so fantastic seeing it go down the road, and then driving it out of the show. We actually managed to get it together

[@lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1]

One of the best feelings in the world when you finally see your project drive under its own power, especially a McLaren!!!

[@markopolo945]

Jared I was hoping to see Hondarousey there :( Please get her done for next year.

[@autotempest]

Huge congrats! Looks and sounds absolutely incredible.

[@nickwarner8158]

No project car is ever truly done, but when its good enough to take to SEMA without you feeling ashamed its good. You put a lot of work into this. When you finally get a project you've done a ton of work on on its first true drive its either going to be a day of celebration or a day you should've worn the brown pants. I love seeing the end of my projects just like you do. Just your projects are further up the financial chain. You guys have every reason to be proud. If you want a real repair challenge, buy a vehicle more than ten years old from WI. Make sure your torch tanks are full, you will need it.

[@hkrsescort]

Never heard Jared mentioned sadly

[@customclonesinc2010]

Freddie pausing his emotional cry to get excited for an underpass is the most “car guy” thing I’ve ever seen. Big congrats. This car is insane.

Awesome build. Jared was the silent force. He deserves way more credit.

I love how Tavarish has no fear to show his true emotions. No fear to shed a tear on camera. Proud of you man you earned. You will also appreciate the vehicle even more since you with Jared's assistance built that car from ground up. Literally every nut & bolt you replaced and touched .

Everyone whose followed this build has shed a tear of joy and relief along with Freddy as no one can believe it’s done let alone looks sooooo fantastic. When they had to fabricate the engine castings on a completed engine I thought this car was to far gone. After the drag race resistance from McLaren I can’t believe he hasn’t received pushback from McLaren. The car is beautiful, sounds and runs great!!!! Can’t wait to get my companion blue McNugget T-Shirt to go with my white one. Total props to Tavarish and Jared, way to go guys!
