Tavarish Reveals The Truth About His Income, Divorce, and $2,000,000 McLaren P1 Rebuild

[@damecuscroom4966]

The conversation regarding lending cars to friends shows how pure of heart Tavarish is. He cares more about people than he does about things. Graham on the other hand, not so much. The contrast at this point of the conversation is eye-opening. Tavarish, I hope you can see this comment. You’re one of the good ones dude! I hope you become all that embodies the automotive industry!

I'll add to the myth about getting ladies with cars. Tavarish is right. If you like dudes, cars will get you tons of attention. If you like girls, get a dog and train it well. Simply taking your dog out in parks will open up way more opportunity than what a car can do.

[@kafklatsch3198]

Yes, they tend to really like the "higher end" car when sitting in the seat... But the attention it gets externally is only a small percentage... I find that typically it's a lady that already has experience with the car..... The real easy winner is appealing to them physically and then having the nice ride....

My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience

His friendship with the down-to-earth and talented Matt Armstrong is no accident. Life is full of ups and downs, and we all navigate these highs and lows. Tavarish’s openness about a particularly painful and challenging chapter in his life reflects tremendous courage. It serves as a reminder that even those who seem successful have their own struggles. His honesty is a powerful testament that, despite life's difficulties, we can all find strength and resilience. ❤️👍🏽

1.Love my man Tavarish work BUT I think he is wrong about how women think about men and cars. Cars DO attract women. Women like nice cars mainly for 2 reasons: 1. They think that if a dude has a nice car that means he has MONEY or Resources which means that SHE has MONEY and Resources! 2. IF a guy has a nice car, they want to be SEEN in that nice car by OTHER women as a way to say I'm better than YOU because women are ALWAYS in competition with each other. 2. Much respect to Tavarish for discussing all the things that happened in his personal life. Very valuable information was given here. 3.Giving cars away? WOW! What a different refreshing and interesting mindset.🤔 4.Another great interview! 👍🏾

Virgin energy comment. 99.9% don't care.

[@nobody_2221]

He's not wrong because the reasons you just listed are liking status and money. The car is just a physical representation of having those things. She would have to be interested in what the car is not what it brings.

Caring about others is noble but caring about yourself first so that you can better serve others and build a solid foundation takes guts and earns respect.

Can't imagine watching another episode of this podcast. The one dude just worships money.

this guy has such an incredible vibe, i couldn't care less about anything cars, but man, such a vibe...

[@laupstad]

I've known of Tavarish since his start on Jalopnik. Can confirm that he's been a car guy at least since the first car he bought. It was mostly questionable choices which I did question a few times and that led to my comments getting greyed out on his side of Jalopnik. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings back then though. You've done a lot better than I thought you would! Most people regardless of how enthusiastic they are couldn't do what you have done over the years. All these years later you have my full respect and I bow down to the greatness you have achieved.

[@shaleplays536]

He skips a big chunk of how he got the money to start. He had a big house and 64k cash to buy the lambo. He didn't get that from writing articles for $50 a piece.

[@DJV94022]

Yeah but you dont understand when your a car guy and rep goes up in the city you get all sorts of deals.yes some are hella sketchy that are sketchy.others seem sketchy but it is legit afterall so risk is all worth it .etc etc..alot of people like to trade and thru crazy offers

If you watch his early videos I believe he was a software developer or had some kind of web based business

Yeah, I never trust these videos when they’re telling it all. He clearly isn’t telling where some of his income came from.

My car life revolves around Tavarish and I really miss his videos when he does not upload. Thank you so much for sharing as I feel I have seen so many changes over the years from Tavarish. I am watching for England, UK (Bentley 1936 owner plus many more new sports cars)

[@DailyElectrician]

So much more respect for Tavarish as a person now because of watching this.

The most shocking part of this video is Tavirish being Russian. I always thought he was Indian or black

[@Darx97]

Or Mexican, or Puerto Rican, anything but Russian 😂

[@myp0h]

the most shocking part about your comment is you think he is indian. No. He looks latino.

[@mcearl8073]

Yea I wouldn’t have guessed Russian, I never really knew what he was. I also always assumed Tavarish was his last name and since it’s not spelled right that didn’t really give me any indication of where he was from.

[@m3ntal2k]

You can be black and Russian...

[@albertocarrillo9574]

I’d really enjoyed this episode and it is the one that made me subscribe. I had the pleasure to briefly meet Freddy in the past and looking at a more personal level interview that almost feels like a chat that will happen in a shop while fixing cars with a fellow enthusiast you are getting to know do to a shared passion really has raised the level of sentimental respect towards him. I can only wish him success and also thank you for your take on your previous relationship with the ex. It sure base put some fresh thoughts in my head as I struggle similarly to see my self worth.

[@LiviuXSA]

marriage isnt about happiness, marriage is about staying together and building a family, a framework of safety for everyone involved, having someone to take you to the hospital at 3 AM, having someone to call after an accident, having some emotional support, a kid having a family with both parents to grow up harmoniously, having someone by your side in old age, building something together. if your partner is untrustworthy, not supportive, a bad parent, not there in a time of need for real stuff, then yeah find someone else but just 'happiness' leaves it open to whims, ebbs and flows. youll end up in the same spot with the new woman after the honeymoon wears off having learnt nothing

[@briandstephmoore4910]

Exactly this, to each their own but this mentality is childish if it’s how you feel there’s zero need to marry. Weird seeing such an immature side of him

He made wife changing money

[@EA40]

Not true. Of course there's a lot that won't be shared here, but your statement isn't accurate. Ironically his ex-wife drove a Hyundai Elantra, and she insisted she didn't want anything different even though Freddy wanted to give her a cool luxury project.

As far as I see it (when it comes to the P1) it’s about the journey of that car and I personally wish him well!

Freddies story about how he got $64,000 dollars doesn't add up? I think it's more likely he was given money 💰 by a family member perhaps? He stated he barely earnt any money, but he managed to save $34k for the Aston, then another $30k on top to get the Lambo.. huh? Some magic economics at play?? His take on Lambo values back in the day are way off... pricing is relevant to the times.. back then a lambo was more than a house!!!!

Unfortunately, lost interest in the build once he left out the hybrid component. No matter the excuses, it’s no longer a P1 just a shell and with a 720s engine swap.

but he isn't 'really' calling it a P1 anymore... he know what you mean and eventho he has all the reasons for it on paper and insurance wise it's still a OFFICIAL P1
