I Quit My Job | Making The Jump

[@corifto1]

Here we are...a year later. Take a look back at the year you had, and be proud of the decision you made.

[@NappMotorsports]

Appreciate you more than you know

[@camphabenero]

Hey man I just want to say GOOD FOR YOU! As someone who followed the money and is now over 50, it caused me to leave my passions behind and now I deal with more job politics then anything cool. You have figured out a way to do both and that's amazing - congrats!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks man! I know it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows, but I don’t want to regret not having tried it.

[@evannoriega-thomas371]

Congrats my friend 🎉 I’m proud of you, you’re living the dream!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks Evan!!

[@watson6401]

The fact you worked on stuff that's went to space that I watched launch and will launch just made you so much more cooler.

[@NappMotorsports]

Haha I appreciate that

[@slodad]

I’m a software engineer and feel exactly the same way. This is super inspiring. Hopefully I’ll run into you at the gap next year 🤘

[@NappMotorsports]

I’ll be there!

[@travdripdrip382]

You got this brother. I slowly quit my day job as a financial analyst and now own my own home repairs business. Love it! Stressful yes. But once you get the hang of lining up jobs/work and spacing it out where you're not completely under the gun at all times it's great

[@NappMotorsports]

Really looking forward to it. Great to hear you’re doing well with yours!

[@matthewkummerfeldt9795]

it makes sense, all those skills you have and confidence in your fabrication skills. i'd never guessed it came from building freaking space stuff, that's cool. all those skills will surely come in hand with this new endeavor.

[@NappMotorsports]

Haha it’s a totally different field but engineering has definitely helped get me where I am.

[@mrforbi-pv8pi]

YOOO I’m so glad to have you back on KZbin and congratulations. I look forward to seeing more projects! You have been a huge inspiration for me!

[@NappMotorsports]

I’m glad to be back!

[@UnsponsoredBuilds]

Napp built an amazing engine for me and i will support anything he does!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks Eli!

[@ChromaticVideos]

Big congrats man!!! Hope to do the same in the future. Definitely nice to see people follow the happiness

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks! Just keep at it and it’ll happen before you know it.

[@EnfieldJoe]

Good Luck with your new adventure. I'll be following the 2.5 NC swap. Love the Miatas....had two NAs.

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks Joe!

[@dumbestoyster]

Well. I quit My 40+ hr/wk nice paying job, to take the plunge to work for Myself. 15+yrs later, I'm not a millionaire, but I'd never work for someone else again...good luck brother! Canada proud...

[@NappMotorsports]

It’s not about the money, I’m just looking forward to the flexibility of it all.

[@mostlyuselessgarage]

You sir are a legend in the Miata community! You got courage and determination, looking forward to what your'e gonna do next.

[@NappMotorsports]

I appreciate that!

[@antonyingram]

Congrats on making the jump and I'm sure it'll go great. I don't currently own a Miata but you're one of a handful of channels that have kept that flame burning for me and mean I'll certainly own another. As you say, it's a hell of a community and glad you'll be an even bigger part of it 👏

[@NappMotorsports]

I appreciate that!

[@AngryAnon]

It’s thanks to you that I managed to get the courage to do my VVT swap, I’d be happy to buy stuff ya make and hope you do well

[@NappMotorsports]

Appreciate it!

[@Bombavalusica]

Exciting! Good luck and can't wait to see what's next!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@konradgeorgeson]

Congrats! Highly interested to hear more about the 2.5 swap kit!

[@NappMotorsports]

I will definitely post videos around it!

[@networkmonkey837]

So proud of you! Nothing but amazing things for you in the future!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!!

[@scuderiapirata]

Buona fortuna per la nuova vita..è una bellissima storia e mi hai trasmesso belle emozioni..ti meriti il meglio!!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thank you!

[@cocohalcyon7722]

Glad to see you posting again! I ran into you at the Miata Reunion and we chatted a bit, I'll look forward to the stuff you're working on in the future!

[@NappMotorsports]

Hopefully I’ll see you there again next year!

[@DigitalDog_]

You make great parts! I'm a happy customer! Good for you man!! Rock on!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks dude!

[@BoostedPhotowerks]

Big moves man! Love your ambition! Keep chasing the dream 🤌🏼

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks papi!

[@josephrago3270]

Congratulations man! You're visibly lit up with excitement and jitters and that's cool to see. I just bought an NA with a built motor gone wrong. Tearing it down I found the head is cracked at the port runners. Bad porting job is probably to blame. Thats how I stumbled on your engine build video and then immediately hit subscribe. You nailed it with that video and I'm glad that's brought changes to your life!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks man, I’m really looking forward to it. I hope my video can help with your rebuild!

[@MotorBlades]

super happy for you to be pursuing your passion, keep it up my g

[@NappMotorsports]

Appreciate that!

[@Haywa11]

Congrats on living your dream and breaking out of the corporate grind! You love to see it!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks dude!

[@stantheman5163]

Congratulations! You may not realize it, but you have a talent for being in front of the camera so don´t give up on your YT followers. I retired a few years ago and everyone always asks how I am doing without a place to go every day. LOL. Doing only what you love to do seems to be a foreign concept to them. Live the dream man.

[@NappMotorsports]

Thank you so much!!

[@noryia]

Good luck! It was nice meeting you at Miata Reunion a few weeks back. I'm excited to see how this next journey goes for you!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks man! Hope to see you there next year.

[@EMentz]

Way to take a risk, never a perfect time. Will be watching, best of luck man

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!!

[@jerrynickell3613]

Good luck - if anyone can, you can do this!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks!

[@MiataMoney]

Wishing you nothing but the bet on your journey! I am looking at getting an NC and maybe the new FM kit for it too...

[@NappMotorsports]

You definitely should. That kit looks great too

[@pedernordberg5573]

Good luck to you. Looking forward to learning about the 2.5 swap.

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks! I’m excited to learn it myself haha

[@yakhunt9424]

Fair play to you for following your dreams, mate. It's all too easy to settle into the 9 to 5 and rot away. Hope it all goes well

[@NappMotorsports]

Thanks man!

[@malkionx]

I would love the same kit idea for the 1.8 engine, one stop shop for everything

[@NappMotorsports]

I can probably do something like this!

[@malkionx]

@@NappMotorsports I’ll order one !

[@thebox5986]

Good luck on your journey!

[@NappMotorsports]

Thank you!!

[@Frog_man007]

Let’s go…..! I can’t wait to meet you at Miata at the Gap!

[@NappMotorsports]

I’ve got room for it!

[@Corona_Paul]

[@bvward]

[@NappMotorsports]

[@oldschoolamerican7775]

[@jasonbonenfant1430]

Hey Stefan. I also have a 2008 NC PRHT and live in Rochester. Any chance we can connect and meet up?

[@NappMotorsports]

Sure! Mine is away for the winter but we can probably get something set up come spring time!

[@MarkKruegerMotorsports]

Who would have thought this would have been the result of bringing my NC to your place 3 years ago.

[@NappMotorsports]

Crazy to think about haha

[@mirandaowen8913]

WOOO HOOOO 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@NappMotorsports]

SLAYYY

[@scmiata99]

Where you guys located ?

[@NappMotorsports]

Rochester, NY

[@ema1671]

We need more NC content on YT, they have great power potential without going K or V8.

[@NappMotorsports]

Agreed!

[@BoostedNDMiata]

Congrats. 2022 “quitter” myself. I still have a few years before I can be considered “retired.” 😂

[@NappMotorsports]

Congrats to yourself! This is hardly retirement haha.

[@scmiata99]

[@NappMotorsports]

Me still!

[@malkionx]

Only Stefans? coming soon

[@NappMotorsports]

[@NappMotorsports]

NC for life!

[@thetechniqueviking1053]

Man that’s crazy, who even does that?❤

[@NappMotorsports]

Nobody in their right mind!

[@saintkupo7164]

If you need a secretary let me know. I'll even wear a skirt!

[@NappMotorsports]

Tempting!
