As a member of an older generation it is painful to see you let that car go.

Loved that car, sad to see it go but I get it - you can't have everything and you need to follow your priorities, never let others dictate your values!

[@Djuztin]

Man I'll miss that car on the channel. One of my favorites from the past years. Excited to see what the money goes towards! Maybe the batcave 😎

@@TsundzuXboxing Not hating, we love the egg but he has like 20 cars and half the cost comes from the egg. In another video he said his costs are so high that he thinks about selling the house, but we would much rather see him keep his house and sell the Koenigsegg, would be a much more responsible financial decision, also it would make room for other cool project. The Koenigsegg barely gets driven and doesn't make any content, won't be modified obviously, etc.

@@TsundzuXboxing its financially dragging him down so much so he’s looking at selling his DREAM house just to keep the cars. Cars can always come and go but a home?
