[@ernestroman2842]

Congratulations !!!! I am a Dr so I know how that moment when you graduate feels!!!! Enjoy and I hope you have a lot of success in your next chapter!!!!

[@TrucciSpeed]

Keep up the good work. I wish I would have had this outlet when I was your age. Cars were always my passion and a the only way I could keep up on the knowledge was to buy the auto magazines. Makes me sound old but I’m in my late 40’s and have my channel for a hobby and put out videos when I can fit it in with my job. Again keep grinding and sky’s the limit for you. Congratulations on your graduation 👍

[@joeg9810]

Congrats. Best of luck in your future. I would also like to add you have a good perspective on what it takes to go into your next part of life and I expect you will be very successful.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much Larry! I really appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the channel. Thank you for the kind comment.

[@316racingchannel9]

Congratulations Austin!! Well done buddy. Honestly you inspired me to get the Shelby GT350 6 years ago in 2018. I've been having a blast with it ever since thanks to you!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much! I'm really happy to hear that. The GT350 is such an iconic car... I think in the years to come we will definitely be looking back at that car with even more praise... I miss mine!

[@316racingchannel9]

Mine is the standard GT350 but at this point is better than an R. It has been gutted and a full roll cage installed, FP350s rear wing, MCS coil overs and is supercharged now putting down 775 rwhp on 93 and 834 rwhp on e85. I'm a member at Road Atlanta so I run there a lot. I also take the car all over to various tracks to run it. VIR is my favorite track. You can really open her up there. So much fun man.

[@kerryjager6672]

Congratulations, very inspirational, yes get that gtd coming.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much! I hope we get it! I'm excited to share track performance with everyone! :)

[@carguy7627]

Congratulations on graduating! Now it's time to take your collection to the next level. Let's see where you can go. I look forward to watching the journey. I suggest you do a roadmap video describing what you want to achieve and how you think you'll achieve it. It'd be good content, but better than that you can look back at it in twenty years and see what you were thinking then and where you ended up.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much. I think that's an exciting idea. I'm currently working on putting together a rapidly accelerating plan... I'll keep you posted! Things will be getting FAST soon!!! Thanks again! :)

[@johndalton1447]

Congratulations Austin on your graduation!! Love the Chanel, all the great content and your unstoppable attitude!!

You're too kind John! I really appreciate it! I'm excited to share what's next!

[@stephenr115]

I certainly remember the entire story Austin. Hope in some way I helped you. Looking forward to finally meeting you and keep in mind my suggested trip to Colorado where your new beast can get some fantastic mountain exercise! Keep up the great work my friend. And remember put me number one one any list selling Raptor R. It is perfect given my name!

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you very much Stephen! Yes, I really appreciate your kind thoughts and feedback over the years. I'm looking forward to swinging by Colorado when possible!

[@TheWolfMatt]

Hell Austin, I'm in my 40's now and am still going through school to earn my next degree. The point is to never stop learning, keep pushing yourself, always look towards the horizon with your eyes on the prize. Take every day as a learning experience and you'll go far. This Engineer and US Navy Veteran solutes you sir. Congratulations on the degree.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Thank you for your service. You nailed it! I think having a growth mindset is important for shaping your life. Seek opportunity and build from it!

[@williamgray3802]

Congratulations Austin, awesome you deserve everything good that comes your way you have worked hard for it.

[@SpeedPhenom]

You're too kind William! Thank you!

[@smsunder]

Austin, I've been following you since the beginning and I have to say this is your biggest accomplishment as your degree is all yours that you persevered over the last 6 years! So happy you stayed the course and now you are a college graduate in Business that no one can take away from you! Hopefully you cash flowed your education from KZbin! Way to go and congratulations on your achieving your goal. BTW, it took me 8 years working full time where I earned 2 degrees that propelled me to the "C" level executive in healthcare as well as starting my own financial management consulting business.

[@SpeedPhenom]

It is great to hear your story! Congratulations on your success! I know it is a long journey, but in my opinion the journey is the most exciting part! I'm anxious to continue forward to embark on what's next. Thank you for your kind words.

[@smsunder]

@@SpeedPhenom So looking forward to your next steps in the growth of your channel.

[@F8Tributo]

I shared my life experience, coming from a lower economic class, working and studying hard, building a business, etc, and all the challenges and heartaches associated with that, and ultimately, success. So this young guy on YT responds that I "had it easy", and there's no opportunities for young people now, you know that kind self-defeating attitude. For sure, he's not going anywhere, cuz he already shot himself in the foot. Now here's Speed Phenom, a young guy who will have none of that. Already done better before he's 30 than most people do in their lifetime. As long as young people dream, and dare to "do", there will be opportunities. It's never easy. But always possible. Austin proves that.

[@SpeedPhenom]

I love hearing about your journey! I honestly believe the journey is the most exciting part... Moving from a starting point and have a strong feeling of knowing where you want to go! Thank you for your kind comment!

[@stokeswait1984]

Congrats man! Well done, keep doing you! No time for the negatives, just the positives 💯

[@SpeedPhenom]

Austin, you appear more insightful and cognisant of trade offs. You've passed one of life's bigger tests known as focusing ~ staying the course to forge forward more successfully. Good work! Do what you're doing and an even brighter more successful person will find you. He or she will want you in his/her life for each others' embetterment with roles quite possibly switching over time
