Smurrf Mustang GT Build 10 Years Later: From Broke to Boosted

My 2013 Mustang GT Smurrf is the car that helped change my entire life. Back in 2012 I bought this car with the thought of chasing the dream of being a car KZbinr. Thankfully with a very supportive audience, a ton of hard work, and great people along the way this car would pave so much of my life's path. This supercharged Ford Mustang GT has helped me make some amazing memories. Let's talk about it.

YOU’RE MY BOY BLUE!!!💙💙💙

[@ricardo1e93]

I still remember the demonetization scene like it was the other day, and the funny (i mean ironic) thingis that I was going through my first ever nasty depression fase too, it was also just a year of having my first bucket list dream car, which was the Renault 19 CHAMADE 16v (a very rare euro compact sports 90s sedan) but dude, you felt like a company man. I always kept coming back to kinda check on you, don't want sound creepy, I acknowledge that you don't know me 😅 but it just how I felt and thanks to your Smurf and thanks to my Red french bathtub, the world felt better. I also met so many nice people through that machine. I'm glad both our lives are going as we wish. Still wishing also to one day just compliment you in person and thank you for everything, for making the lives of your community have lots of Smiles per Gallon. Before I finish, I don't know if you remember, i did a replica of Smurf over Twitter on a game called TrackMania canyon. Anyways. I'll go to sleep with a huge smile. Thank you, take it easy 💙

[@Tstay352]

The first vid I saw was when you reviewed evens is300 and I have been loving your vids since then

[@timephire]

"I will never retire!" - Ric Flair & Smurrf.

[@danielmcintyre7405]

I think the first time I saw your video was when I was on the 9th grade when I was 15 and I'm 19 turning 20 soon

[@viktorbryce951]

Have you ever considered tracking down your Black Mustang? That'd be such a cool journey to go down just to see what happened to it. Heck, maybe even repurchase it and do something unique with it.

[@TheFoxyNixon]

“It was just me, and Smurf.” Man, that resonates with me more than you know. Almost teared up a bit.

[@efsf15]

Outstanding

[@derrickchristopherson2649]

I literally can’t believe I’ve been following David for so long!!! So freaking great! And yes, I do feel old! At 25 I finally bought my dream 2013 GT! Thanks for all the years of inspiration. Here’s to 10 more years of content!

[@dylan5590]

He also helped me decide to get my 2013 back in 2015. One of the best decisions in my life. So glad to have such a great person making great content.

[@joshuasterling2144]

God I can't even remember when I subscribed, its been forever.

[@joseluisvargas8234]

Bro me too 2014 I was 14 lol now I’m damn near 23 .. scary

[@joselorenzo3774]

Me too man. Been on his channel since 2012

[@paintballfntk]

I’m 25 too and I feel the same exact way dude, David really does it the best!!

[@garrettstout7809]

I never comment on KZbin videos, but this one warrants a comment - I started really getting into your content when I went to college back in 2015. I’ve watched the Smurf Saga unfold and watched you and your channel grow along with that car. You’re one of the realest, most humble dudes on KZbin - a lot of KZbinrs only share life’s highlight real, and you show it all. You share your mental health struggles in a way that’s constructive and relatable while also putting out some of the absolute COOLEST car content on the platform. Love your channel, love your cars and love your story, brother. Thanks for what you do - excited for the future of your channel and your future as a human 🤙🏻 Stay real, Blue

[@efsf15]

@thatdudeinblue .. YOU and SMURRF have been a constant in my life, through my divorce, and losing a house and some family, you have always there for that support and comfort.. you have let it be known really even without saying it, you have your car which is there for you.. and the people you meet when you go out of your comfort zone.. you have always been there and always will be.. thank you

[@efsf15]

i am honored that i have been seen by you, again.. thank you.. you have no idea, literal tears boss man.. really. :) @thatdudeinblue

[@simonmulder2032]

10 years and 1 day later (genuinely ironically, I ordered it in February) and I'm picking up a 2022 Mustang GT, grabber blue, manual, and have a roush catback sitting in my garage waiting to be put on (from a 2020 mustang that was totaled last year) You were the original inspiration! The future is bright *and blue*!

[@brydonrowley2093]

crazy to think u watched this get built 10 years ago! awesome channel and always will be

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

Hearing the backstory like this is so cool. I’ve been watching fun the beginning and it’s been such a great journey watching you AND your channel grow over the years.

[@Humanimal117]

Damn 10 yrs already. Geez does time fly by quick.

[@JankyMocha]

Wow, this video made me strangely emotional. I can't believe it's been 10 years already! I was somewhere in the first 600 subscribers, and plan to stay for many more. Thanks, David for all you do.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Talk about a throwback! Its been awesome watching you grow over the years and getting to talk to you at various events. We have always loved watching you succeed and appreciate all of the hard work you did for us. Keep up the great work and let us know if you need anything else! - Tyler R.

[@imSchwaggy]

Wtf i been subscribed to u for 10+ years? Thats crazy. Im the guy from the first boston subscriber meet who told his job he was going to the bathroom and came to the event.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

You were seriously an MVP lol🔥

[@JamesSmith-gx3uc]

Man, started watching you when you got the car. I had a love for 5.0s and started consuming your content as quickly as you have provided it. Thanks for all the entertainment and smiles over the years

[@robp.1995]

My son showed me your channel back when I had my 2013 gt 5.0 and I’ve been following you ever since. Always great content and I especially like when you review high hp cars, it always makes me smile when you react to the pulls. Keep it up buddy and congrats on 10 years!

[@theninethrees8044]

Been following since 2013 lol crazy to think its been a decade

[@ahenson4297]

Dude I've been subbed for 10 years?! I was 15 at the time... This brings back so many memories for me alone, let alone all of us on this journey with you! I've been itching for a mustang ever since I found out about Smuurf, and now at the age of 25, I'm about to get my first GT! Congrats on 10 years of this beautiful car, and thank you for all of the memories, David!

[@steveafanador6441]

You gave us a shit ton of entertainment for a long time David 👍👍

[@xaviacostaamaro5392]

Dude, you're one of the biggest reasons I want to own a mustang in the future. Can't believe I've been with you for like 7 years. Here's to you enjoying smurf for many more years and to you being able to continued making content

[@Unknown-xv8lj]

I started following you when you got this car because I got my 2014 5.0 Gotta Have It Green around the same time and I still have mine as well, only 60k miles.

[@hatch450sx3]

We miss Smurf we demand Smurf!

[@bloatedgoatfpv]

Now I know what thatdudeinblue means. I've been watching for less than a year and I've pretty much only seen you drive other cars. From one smurf to another (Mariner Blue Miata here), that's an awesome story. Glad you still have it and hope you get it running soon.

[@quickdrive3488]

Smurf if literally one of the main reasons I wanted a Mustang so bad in high school. I’m 2013 I use to watch your videos repeatedly living vicariously through them. It’s crazy to see how far Smurf has come over the years.

[@38tech]

6years ago....I happened to stumble on a vid, thanks algorithm, and I've been here since. Can't remember which one it was....but you seemed to be charismatic and really enjoyed driving and being in the car scene. Between you and others I've been able to keep up on things as I have not been very active in the scene, but that is changing.....thanks! Keep up the good work.

[@DailyDrivenProjects]

I feel like every enthusiast has that strong connection with their vehicle, and it's perfectly normal where some nights that's all you need

[@HelenKellerDenier]

Found you on KZbin my Sophomore year of college 2014. This channel pretty much started my love for cars. I also learned a lot from this channel. To this day you're the one car KZbinr I still look forward to new videos. Love your work brother 🤙 Keep being you.

[@control2791]

Can't believe I found you towards the end of 8th grade! I absolutely loved the vlogs, your first s14 240sx review! It really showed me the automotive landscape in a new light and formed my positive opinions on the car scene and the sense of brotherhood it created. Afterward I would watch fast and furious after I turned 13 as It's PG13 🤣. Nowadays all these years later I'm almost 22 in university studying engineering and my passion for cars is as large as it's ever been! It's truly amazing to think that as I eventually buy a vehicle and live my automotive life as passionately as you!

[@shaneomatic9188]

David, congrats on the 10 years. I want you to know watching your channel and that racing channel gave me motivation to start my own. I’m about 10 months in and I’ve almost got the required watch hours to get monetized. Subs are about 700ish. I’ve had a couple videos shared by haltech and Kozmic motorsports. That was pretty exciting for me. I review cars as well. A few cars I’ve recorded have also been on 1320. Actually last week a Eagle talon that was on their tx2k video that everyone was amazed by I recorded the same day or maybe the day before. He’s a friend of mine. I think you may know the owner too. Summer time is slower for me living in Houston because of the heat so I may record some vlogs about my 2014 5.0 mustang in the time being. Going over the mods and some tech footage. I’ve always been kinda ehhh about recording my own cars because I don’t wanna seem like I’m showing off. I’m gonna give it a go tho.

[@ap1dot988]

Dude I can’t believe it’s 7 years I’ve been watching u. First video was the gen 1 mazdaspeed 3 because I had just picked up one. Congrats bro

[@fullthrill7314]

Such a cool story. I remember seeing Smurrf at a Best Buy in Chesterfield and you were showing off the exhaust to someone. Still wish I went over to say hi.

[@gordydexter2615]

Great video David. Been watching you for a few years now. I have 4 kids all older than you. I am a car guy and I ordered a Dark Horse on 6 April. I have been driving German cars & Corvettes for over 4 decades. The DH will be my first Mustang. I like both your your boosted Mustangs. Keep on growing your business. I am a fan!!! 👍💪😎🇺🇸✝️

[@saimonetonga3899]

Man its cool to see how far you have come with smurf and that its still puts a smile on your face Love your stuff David 🙂

[@R3AL-AIM]

Dude. This car started your channel. Film school days. High school for me 😂 I have as many memories I can remember by seeing your car as I can with buddies who's cars I've taken road trips in. Awesome video man!!! Buddy just sold his absolute show quality 2v vert after years to move on to bigger and better. You have been a huge influence of the community man 💪 Keep doing you

[@steelwill78]

This car is a classic! Never get rid of her!

[@timharper1035]

Happy anniversary! Hopefully smurf will be back on the road soon and it's a small issue 🤞 Thanks for being one of the most stand up dudes in the automotive community! I've been around for quite a while and will be a regular viewer and subscriber till the end. Thanks for all you do brother!

[@SeansHangar]

First video I saw of yours, you were talking about the new S550 Mustang that hadn’t yet come out. I think it was 2013 or ‘14. I went back and watched all of your Smurrf videos at the time and I’ve followed the whole journey since! We actually met once at the end of your first rally in Pueblo Colorado, my dad and I drove our 1966 Mustang down to meet you and we went and got Wendy’s with your friend Brandon. I still have that car to this day and I feel the same way about it as you do with Smurrf! Also, I just want to say, I really appreciate how real you’ve always been with your viewers. As others have said, you’re one of the most real and humble creators on the platform. It’s been a pleasure following you for these past nearly ten years, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! God bless!

[@Mansimran24]

Really awesome to hear a backstory like this. Emotionally attached to a car is something only car guys can understand. Loved the vid. Keep up the good work

[@SupraBdub]

I've been with you for a long time David, like Woodward TV but longer, I forget what videos got us started but it was like ten years and a couple KZbin accounts ago. Thanks for everything especially your deduction and being real always.

[@ZomKP]

Crazy to think this car is ten years old now! I remember the first time I saw it when you review my gray focus st back in 2017. Inspired me to sell the focus and get a 19 5.0 PP1

[@TheRedStang227]

Started following you eight years ago when I was about to purchase my ‘14 mustang. Looking around for some S197 content and stumbled across the channel, been a fan ever since. 👊😎

[@normangarland6558]

I started watching about the time you became Smurf's caretaker. I said here is this kid who is trying to make a go of it on youtube and his channel is about one of my lifelong ambitions automobiles. I watched your Vlogs and it gave me an insight to what my children (your age) might be going through. The Vlog you did with your dad really hit home. Now here it is 10 years later and I have finally moved up from a foxbody to an S197 Coyote engine car. I still catch the videos that are about cars and events I relate to but have enjoyed watching you grow and handle life's road-bumps. Keep up the great work while staying honest and you will continue to flourish!!

[@SlimWhittman]

I have a 2014 Mustang GT premium track pack in grabber blue but I have taken a different route with mine. After 10 years it has 2500 miles, still has every original part except the oil filter. I change the oil annually despite averaging around 224 miles per year. Even has original tires. Never been washed with water, never been rained on, never spent an entire night outside, garage is heated and cooled just like the rest of the house so it lives in an environment very similar to my living room. I love it!

[@Dafwog2013]

I will say, watching you since 2015 has definetly distracted me from my bad thoughts a lot. Whenever I was down on myself, your channel popped up with a new vid and put a smile on my face. Thank you David, for helping me and others through tough times.

[@andrewelliott6577]

I remember being in high school watching everyone of your smurf/mustang vids just waiting on the chance to get mine. Bought my dream 2013 grabber gt at 19 shortly after graduation and haven’t looked back. It’s been 5 years now. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@gigasourus]

It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. I’ve been following this channel since I was about 16 in highschool and was looking to buy a 300zx and saw your review. From there on I loved the channel and all the reviews you did. Honestly can’t explain how good it is to see a KZbinr as genuine as you are. Everything works out for a reason and man am are we glad you stuck with it. Congratulations on all of your success and keep up the great work!

[@alexturnqest6202]

I was 14 when I first started watching you David. Now I’m 23. What a crazy 10 years it’s been. Thank you for being my YT therapy when I didn’t have much else. 🤙🏾You and Smurf are the goat

[@atvmx46]

10 YEARS AGO I remember the first night you brought it out to wing command.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks to you awesome people that night I felt right at home.

[@atvmx46]

Maybe one day I will put the hellion back together.

[@allanon93]

Thanks for 10 years of amazing contents. Been watching you since you started the KZbin channel. To think it's 10 years is mind blowing. But you are an amazing creator, and happy 10th anniversary of Smurrf

[@dylanmesser3957]

Congratulations on ten years with Smurrf! I always enjoy seeing Smurrf as the focus of a video. The trip down memory lane was awesome as well! I really wish you would go back to those driving style vlogs like the old days. The topics were always relatable and they helped me get through some issues I was facing in my personal life. It's hard to believe some of those vlogs are nearly ten years old!

[@ryangilliland8947]

So I've been watching your videos since basically the beginning, and early 20s me just wanted to see the cars. Being in my 30s now looking back through the good and bad times I've went through, I can really appreciate your story, and enjoy hereing what you a genuine car enthusiast and good person has to say. Also I finally subscribed to your channel. Sorry it took 10 years ✌️

[@whalehands]

The fact you have kept that car and not traded or sold it for something else is props 👏🏼 Way to many people want the new shiny toy. A person who is happy with what he has and takes care of it, like that old man who drives a pristine old truck that everyone asks if it's for sale.

[@Autizzo]

Smurrf really is a beautiful car, I understand the point in having a deep connection with a vehicle, ever since I got my Honda I treat it like if it were my kid, it’s something I worked hard for and was able to acquire, buying new parts and just seeing them on the car really makes you appreciate your ride even more, a stock car is like a blank canvas you should be able to do what you want to it and appreciate it more and more along the way and develop that connection with it almost as if it were a living thing, a love for a car is really something else, I hope that I will be able to soon get a 2014 GT or a Boss 302 and have the kind of money to take it on a boosting journey too

[@ponypwr]

So I was 22 bought a new 11 gt manual and noticed your videos. Became a regular viewer and over time caught myself noticing we had simular taste in mods etc. Needless to say a white 13gt with red leather became available and I bought the car and continued to watch the videos until the 240 took over, and I would come back to watch fast car reviews lol! Congrats on the 10 year anniversary and your youtube and life SUCCESS, to GOD be the GLORY!

[@lewisjones4175]

The amazing content you and smurrf having giving us over so many years is amazing, it feels like looking back at a family photo album :'(

[@jackc5293]

I just went back and checked, of all things my first video was your "How to use Plastidip" which thinking back on it was a totally obscure video but back then it was a new thing and I think the algorithm (which was much better back in 2013) took things from there. I don't think I subscribed until the "330 hp sleeper civic" episode tho IT WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO what the hell 😭... I love everything, keep being you because that is why people keep coming back.

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

Awesome story, awesome car, cool guy. I’ve been following David pretty much since he got this car and I’ll never get enough of hearing about it.

[@MammothZ06]

been watching since the beginning and finally got my own 2019 10spd GT! you are truly an inspiration man thanks for the content and all the good reviews

[@civichatchman10]

It’s funny being there for this long. Glad beyond belief that you got this far. Also glad to see that you are achieving even more. Best of wishes as always

[@904Saleen]

Its stories like this that give me the motivation to push through the issues I face with my car. This was such a nice walk back through time and looking back on how you, the channel, and Smurrf have grown and evolved. Hope to see it back on the road soon.

[@adammada3418]

My first time seeing Smurf was in 2014 when you came to Mt sterling Kentucky for a cruise. I had a red 2008 3v. It was my first mustang and only had it about a year when you filmed the video. I will always love that car. But about 3 years later in 2017 I bought my gotta have it green 2013 and I love that car just as much, I still have my 08 and my 13 and hope my kids get to enjoy them one day. Seeing Smurf always made me want a 13-14 mustang, still to this day they are best looking mustang ever made. It’s just nostalgia from that point in my young adult life where mustangs was my personality. I wasn’t a social butterfly but cars was my freedom and escape from everything.

[@DailyDriver.]

I really enjoyed this! So cool to see how long I’ve been watching. I joined the subs around the jasmine days or so. I love the stories like this. Keep it up David!

[@shawnprickett4099]

My first time seeing Smurf was 10 years ago I was young and dumb looking up KZbin videos on cars and stumbled across your channel with the black mustang then you posted a video the next day of Smurf and I was like this dude has my DREAM car right now and I’ve been watching and enjoy ever since I’ve gone through many of the same troubles but 3 years ago now I was able to get my own dream car it’s a 17 GT in grabber blue and it is 100% my forever car sure I’ll probably have 6-7 other cars but this will stay forever with the great people and memories I have in it and working on it. Buying material things might not bring happiness but the feeling I get being able to floor this thing and track it sure does bring a big smile to my face.

[@cinnygames]

David, I’ve been subscribed since 2012 when I was learning how to drive manual and your video was one of the first that came up. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. You helped me through a really dark time and I remember being super stoked whenever a new video was dropped. Here’s to 10 more!

[@justinturner4850]

I didn’t realize I’ve been subscribed for over seven years! I remember seeing you procharge Smurf and I didn’t realize that was almost eight years ago. Man time flies, and you deserve all of your achievements and successes David.

[@oconnr5328]

Congrats David and Smurf on the anniversary! David I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning. Your videos of smurf inspired me and in November 2014 I purchased my dream car a 2015 mustang GT. Like your car my car has gone through so many changes and holds so many special memories. I blew a rod on my car in 2020 and it sat for over 2 years. I just got it back this year and I decided to go all out and decided to get a vmp gen3r for the new motor. I know it must suck to not be able to drive smurf on such a special day. But trust me, when you get back on the road it’ll be the best feeling in the world. Thank you for sharing your journey over the years. Its been amazing to watch you grow.

[@phillirofl]

Amazing content as always, been a fan for many years. You are the reason I own a 2004 Terminator. Thank you for being a KZbin creator and reviewing for so long!

[@IanBrundige]

I can't believe it's been so long already, lots of memories watching this channel grow. I remember watching your review of jasmine and freaking out over how cool that evo was :') It makes me so happy to see you where you are today, keep it up david!

[@jackmooney6570]

first video i saw was you reviewing the boss 302, thought it was so sick. then fell in love with the 2013-14 gt. working towards getting one now😁. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@NoComp600]

10 years later!! Unreal! I started watching you when I was 13, I’m about to be 22 in September so when you said “feel old yet? “ I was like DAMN 🤣 safe to say Smurff is definitely the Goat when it comes to your channel. I still remember seeing all the driving reviews and all the videos of Smurff. You’re a true Gem to the car community I just hope you know that. So many awesome memories from this channel and all it’s videos.

[@dmacthetruth22]

So much to go from and the first video i seen that drew me to your channel was your review of the unicorn! I had a 07 mustang gt at the time and always wanted a newer mustang and after i seen the unicorn mustang review i went and seen that you also had a mustang yourself and it was history! Lol seen all the videos before and than ever upload after it and your channel was the one constant on my youtube subscriber list. Some came and gone but your channel i have been always subbed with! Keep up the great work David! Smurf will be back up and can't wait for it! 💯

[@RobRabonPhotog]

Such a great vid! Happy anniversary! That RTR party was such a great night! Glad that I got to meet you because of these cars, and you're one of the coolest/most awesome/nicest/humble car dudes I've ever met. (and that clip of my car is still one of my favorite moments in my car) First TBIB vid I watched was the one of Brett's car. The first time seeing Smurrf was at the 50th anniversary in Charlotte. Cheers to the next 10 years my dude!! Maybe we'll make it to the 100 year Mustang anniversary some day!

[@660NA_C6Z]

This video is crazy to me just to reminisce how long I’ve been watching you now, was so cool to see a video like this I feel like it really brought us all back in touch to a time that seemed way more simple than now, don’t really get to see Smurf too much anymore if feels but this video made it feel at home again

[@austinphelan6374]

Started watching not long after you got started. Loved your mustang and also your reviews of other modified cars. Really happy to see how things have progressed for you and to this day, still enjoy watching your videos.

[@jqonthego]

Such a beautiful video! I’ve been watching and liking your content for years. Best of luck moving forward.

[@hennessyviper]

Man that means I've been following you for at least 10 years bro you've always had great content I remember those crazy reviews with the evos lol they were insane

[@Billyissilly_]

Found this channel 9 years ago the day my dad bought his 2012 5.0 it’s been crazy to see the growth of the channel and the car scene as I’ve grown up. Hoping to buy a S197 of my own when I’m done with college.

[@FunkyMustang1998]

This essentially how I felt when I bought my Infiniti G37 back in 2019. As my first car with no money to my name, she was the fastest and comfiest thing I could afford, and taught me so much about how cars work and just the modding scene in general. The statement you made with Blue about you and your car hit hard with me as I used my G to escape my problems as I really enjoyed driving. Sadly my G was totaled due to a Tornado that hit, but now I get to be a part of the S197 Coyote squad and definitely going to make her as badass as Smurff was.

[@Camjuice]

Crazy! Been here since the beginning it’s so cool to see you follow your dreams

[@RealArria]

Crazy how long it's been! I remember you uploading the SVE wheels back then, which was around the same time that I got my own '14 Mustang. Thank you so much for the education and entertainment all these years and heres to 10 more! 🍻

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

I can't believe its been 10 years already. Almost in tears. Thank you David

[@rich515_dsm_ia9]

I first watched the LS S2K hardtop, and I've been hooked and committed since. I love the person you are and you inspire so many. You have helped me through some very dark times in my life. Thank you so much for being you and keep going David!

[@BloodyRiot7]

I started watching at the end of 2013 beginning of 2014 and I been a view since. I love your content and honestly because of you I learned more about cars than I ever thought I would (I'm a casual car person honestly) but I'm glad you have been around and Imma keep watching. Keep up the good work my dude, GG!!

[@EnriqueVelett]

You’re the best brother been watching since the smurf vlog days! I still remember the wrx collab and how hype I was for the both of you guys, I was in high school at the time nd it’s so nice to see you doing so well and thriving the way you are throughout all of life’s challenges, your a close friend to a lot of us bro. Much love! 💯

[@ImTheDoctor]

The first video of yours I saw was you putting on the axle back. You're one of the few things that's been a part of my life for ten years and I'm genuinely happy about that.

[@SubterraneanBruh]

This makes me want a S197 even more lmao. I also cannot believe i’ve been following you since like 2014-2015!!

[@clausschuchmann118]

I remember finding your channel searching for brz videos, obsessing over cars as a teenager. I left my first ever facebook comment on one of your posts about a new video. Crazy how time flys. Thank you for all the good content and all the memories

[@Jvilleman400]

You were one of my first car KZbinrs I’ve ever subscribed to buddy! You reviewing my Golf R was one of the highlights of my life bro! Had the time of my life. You legitimately are just like one of us. Thank you so much for not getting a big head with the fame. Cheers fam!

[@Wooley689]

My son got me in to watching you way back then because I've been a Mustang fan since the 1960's. Hard to think it's been that long you have been doing this.

I want you to know I met you at Caffeine and Octane last year in September 5th. You took time out to speak with my friend Dalton, Nick and I. Invited us behind the ropes to stand by Smurrf with you and I want you to know how much that meant. You were the first KZbinr I had ever meet IRL and it meant the world seeing how genuine you are in person. Thank you for the years of entertainment and thank you for taking time out that day to spend time with your fans.

Congrats on the anniversary/milestone! You were definitely an OG inspiration for me starting my own channel a little while back now! Keep up the great work and I hope to see the car again soon! Maybe at the final mustang week?

Grats on the 10yrs bro. I've been subbed quite a few years, couldn't tell you when I started watching, I remember the vid about the de monetisation though. Despite not being what you'd call a 'regular', I always find your videos again from time to time and it's like I'm catching up and listening to an old mate again. Keep at it man, congratulations on all you've achieved.

Congrats on 10 year anniversary, started watching in 2014 and kept coming back to see what you and others were doing with their cars, plus I liked the way you speak, clear, simple and professional.

Been here only a year or two but videos like this make me wish I was around for your whole journey. You’re an inspiration David, thank you!

[@HDmanzano1995]

The vlogady-vlogs will always be my favorite. Man I really did spend so much time watching your content. Thinking about it I’ve been subbed and watching for close to 10 years. Thanks for everything, David!

One of my first subscriptions ever, been watching since the first 3000GT review forever ago, crazy seeing how far you’ve come 🙌

[@Monsteris2g4u]

I’ve been watching you as long as I can remember, the first video I saw that absolutely set me on my car addicted path was your terminator and review I’ve actually lost track of how many times I watched it. Long story short I would watch your video day in and day out and told all of my friends and myself “I Will” get one of those and two years later ended up buying an 03 Redfire Cobra. I remember seeing your Svt Lightning review and it set the thought In stone and I knew I had to have one in my life. Well another long story short I’m currently typing this in my 2nd gen Lightning lol. You’ve reached out and actually wished me happy birthday on Facebook several times, I remember thinking how crazy it was that ThatDudeinBlue was actually reaching out to say hello to me and wish me happy birthday. You have one of the best and most humble personalities for KZbin and I love that you haven’t changed into someone you aren’t. You have influenced so many people in a positive way and I for one know the world needs more people like you spreading the positive mindset and posting and just being yourself. David I don’t know any other KZbinr in the car community who deserves it more than you, you are seriously killing it and I love seeing the channel grow and you hitting these crazy milestones.

This video really makes me realize how long I've been watching David's videos. What a cool journey, so glad you get to do this as a career

[@jakedubbs1685]

I’ve been watching your channel probably right around the time you did your first review when I was (and still am) obsessed with mustangs.. my favorite review still to this day has to be jasmine.. thank you for the great content and memories 😁👍

[@gangstagoose4028]

My first video of yours was when I was Subaru obsessed as a teenager. I would watch your review of that silver Hawkeye STI at my first job and see you just hoon the heck out of it. From there it was a gateway to your other videos, mostly the Subaru ones. I was 15 at the time, and now I am 24 still watching all your videos. I never ended up getting a Subaru, but in two months time, I technically will lol. Getting a GR86, I already have the vin! Thanks for all the memories David. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

[@kaiju_king1895]

I bought one last month happy to see you are still working and building on her. Makes me wanna do more

[@jman42s]

I can’t believe it’s been a full decade of entertainment and education from you and Smurf David! I was 14 when I started following you and now I own my dream mustang all because of the video you did on the black terminator all those years ago!
