Jimmy Oakes chats about his future plans and his life

[@MTNorville]

Adams content is cool and all, but if you want realistic, chill AND mildly educational, Jimmy O is where it's at

[@aftrnoon_ac]

The Jimmy oakes vibe imo is my favorite

[@master_yoda_drifts]

Jimmy O is the way to go

[@parkd240]

jimmy is my role model. started “what would jimmy do” kinda mentality to build my car. Clean. shave the bay. take my time etc. Spend money where it matters because the car matters to Me. i’ve learned lots from jimmy like life positivity and car knowledge, he’s more than mildly educational to some

[@unheimliche9410]

i think adams is still mildly educational

[@123aaxz]

And then if you want pure stupidness but also funny as fuck to watch, Djnoway

[@captainawesome1597]

What makes jimmy successful is in my opinion not so much the cars, but the friendship on the channel. The friends he has brought with him on his success, and continued success is what keeps him relatable. Jimmy shop is just a nicer shop with nicer cars than others but with the same or attainable vibe

[@nevrlow]

As a semi new jimmy oaks sub I’ve also noticed that and noticed it so much that I wanted to know the history so watched all the older videos to catch up on everything over time.

[@Welander_]

It might be a simple video but the lighting makes this video very aesthetically pleasing

[@parkd240]

Been watching Jimmy and Adam for nearly a decade. They taught me how to ride bmx, build cool cars and learn mechanics while i’m at it. i’m 24 now and grew up the guys basically. I had a 240sx before they even had one together (cream car) and just got hooked even more. Jimmy here is my role model. started “what would jimmy do” kinda mentality to build my cars. Clean. shave what doesn’t matter in the bay. take my time etc. Spend money where it matters because the car matters to Me. i’ve learned lots from jimmy like life positivity and car knowledge, wiring isn’t so scary etc. My girl reached out to him and told him how big a fan i was and wanted a quick message from him for christmas etc etc. He was busy in Florida so i never got it but his reaction felt like he couldn’t believe people looked up to him like we do. I hope he knows he’s a pillar in this small community to many

[@darkprinceknows]

Jimmy! Love this guy! Still think he should have wayyyy more subs than he has ! He keeps it relatable with what car he works on!

[@andrewilliams3406]

For the life of me I can’t understand why he does have that many subs. I first learnt about him watching Hoonigan when he help with the sr20 swap. I found out who he was and subscribed right away.

[@als5995]

@@andrewilliams3406he’s been my favorite car KZbinr for a long time

[@toddbrown4185]

Adam’s channel is great if you want to see a wild build or his professional driving but we don’t get to see much of his life these days, Jimmy’s channel is great if you want more down to earth content along with detailed videos on high level builds, DJ (DJnoway)’s channel is great if you want to see the uncut/unfiltered version of Jimmy (and occasionally Adam) and their friend group haha

[@D0CT0RD00M]

I watch him because it’s the realest content out there. He talks to you like a real person. Makes me feel like I’m the one filming.

[@jakenothanks307]

Only youtuber I watch every upload of

[@imFrawst]

Been lucky enough to see jimmy grow from his first videos building the red z with rj to now. It’s been amazing watching him grow his business. Would love to do fab work alongside spoon to contribute.

[@diliganfc3s510]

I remember watching jimmy on haggard back in the day and it used to be a joke to, "like, comment, and subscribe" to jimmy's channel. Sick to see him grow from the start and continue to snowball. Hats off to Jimbo! 🏆

[@downbadapparel]

Love it! Big Jimmy fan. Like he said, knowing he’s just as hyped as the viewers to see a build come to sight makes it that much more worth it. His channel is the best.

[@edicius907]

Jimmy has been my favorite youtuber for the past 4 years

[@stevennewellproductions]

As big as Jimmy and his channel is, he is the most kind, humble guy to talk to in person.

[@GearedToSlide]

it was a memorable experience to meet and chat with jimmy at grandsport. not sure i ever would have if it weren't for drift week. thank you for that aaron

[@TheGreatBabyPigs]

i hope jimmy continues to do well, his videos are genuine and he seems to enjoy what he is doing

[@xdsandis]

Such A suiting “film set” for a jimmy interview, the sun and shade ,in the grass just amazing

[@damianfitzgerald3444]

Maximum respect for Jimmy . Definitely my favorite KZbinr jimmy must youv keeped me watching KZbin automotive community. Your the man iv learnt so much 👌

[@Alex-yb1kt]

Great interview and unbelievably simple setting, love it. Jimmy O is such a ledge nice honest down to earth guy. I wish him and his crew nothing but the best in the future. 👌

[@evgenynikitin8796]

Thank you, Aaron. Sometimes it seems to me that there is some internal dialogue, whether you want to become a million KZbinr or keep on living your life :)

[@fixitcorrectly7301]

You may think your channel is boring Aaron, but I’m not even a drifter and I stay up on all your interviews and videos you put out. You got great personality and your interview game is on point. You do a lot for the automotive community and are appreciated by anyone who sits down with you.

[@youtubetest386]

You have the best backdrops for these interview videos. Also the audio is perfect

[@JP-mg1xc]

Enjoyed this interview! Very aesthetically pleasing composition, also.

[@95ef2mmjguy]

Jimmy's just living Forza motorsport real life and we love watching it lol jimmy you deserve all of this

[@ratsquad]

Really love this videos man, thank you!

[@complexsetup3204]

These videos are sick I hope you do more interviews like this hell yeah man!

[@aaronpoweruser]

I love your style of content, behind the scenes content with familiar people, who may make content but are rarely interviewed .

[@tommallory4841]

Difference between Aaron and other youtubers is Aaron was doing all if this before he picked up the camera so he ain't as dependent on it.

[@luckyrazors]

I love this setting. Jimmy is a goat straight up.

[@Burley_Bert]

The next 5 years for Jimmy is going to go quick. He's got a solar system of content he's a part of, with every flavor a kid could imagine all orbiting around each other. I'm just sittin here licking my fingers giggling

[@shannacollins4741]

Jimmy is just a awesome guy !

[@TomAbramoff]

Understandable to use Adam as the benchmark. I love seeing how much a few guys from CT have influenced YT and car culture

[@controlfreakfpv4281]

I watch almost all of your content, and almost none of Adams content. Real recognize real. Never chance the viewers your a leader like Chelsea, quality content gets quality views. Thanks to the whole crew it takes a village. 🤙🏼

[@aftrnoon_ac]

Adam LZ is real too

[@JasonRothman]

Minecraft with shaders on

[@rushious1]

Says “I hate to keep bringing up Adam”. Continues to do so in every single interview. Aaron has mad man love for LZ

[@angeloah]

Team Losey, I had a Team Losi rc buggy way way back. Anyway good interview, not super surprising but good to see you getting more folks to talk off their channel, ad wasn’t as strong but I am a fan still. Much love happy new year Aaron and Texas drifting.

Jimmy, love the content, keep doing what you are doing

[@jvstmo]

Props to whoever color graded this.

[@95ef2mmjguy]

Love jimmy he's amazing just like lz

[@dannyDC2]

4:55 I feel that, but I think it's time to put some effort into what the world wants to see vs what I wanna do. Maybe then I can do more of what I wanna do with the rewards. Worth a try

[@SouthSeaGolf]

I love Jimmy

[@danielmac9838]

shout out to big yellow for the epic setting.

[@jaredgrant4846]

Taylor rays channel has over 100k more subs, the idea of running a successful KZbin business with a 1 man team is very obtainable. It really comes down to the style of content created. Jimmy oakes very chill and fun (also very informative) Taylor Ray on the other hand is VERY VERY informative but not as much fun as he is working in the shed on his own. He also would be loosing alot more money by not investing/pushing his merchandise the same as Jimmy oakes does. Both absolutely incredible KZbin but still very different. Just my 2c

[@TexasDmax_2k]

Taylor ray isn’t by himself he has a wrencher that helps him with everything

[@jaredgrant4846]

@@TexasDmax_2k yeah I do understand that but was more meaning from the merch/sales side of things

[@coreystrandberg9087]

Taylor’s channel has a very special vibe where you feel like you’re in the garage right with him. Even though he has Josue now it’s not like Josue is full time wrenching while Taylor is sitting back and running other things, they still work together and a lot of the videos it is just Taylor working on something alone

[@ThaFKINman]

13:57 he said "people of influence" 😂😂😂

[@Blk3fifde]

Whole lot of comparing in this interview, Adam this Adam that. Jimmys his own person as a whole completely different people and style and goals.

I really want to see one of these KZbinrs build a low rider

Jimmy oaks be the dude that sr swaps a corvette

😂 that’d be really cool

If you plan 5 years in advance you are nothing but a dreamer nobody knows what will happen to derail plans

[@stanleymcmillan7128]

I’d find that insulting that he hasn’t seen the civic 👀

Jimmy could throw his own drift event right now and itd turn out just like LZs probably hes just as known only thing different is he doesn't drive in FD !
