The whole car KZbinr thing is like beating a dead horse. Bigger shop, more expensive cars, get into drifting, giveaways, buy merch, after ten years the market is flooded with the same thing over and over. The average person can’t relate to any of your content anymore, hence people tune it out. Hope you can find peace in life.

I know I’m a nobody to a KZbinr but I just want you to know that I feel you and what you are going through is so much like my life. Cheers brother and I wish you the best.

Just figured it was a good time to share. I am here just outside of DFW and had someone come to my house for my quarterly spray for bugs. When I answered the door I had a new technician, and he immediately noticed my shirt, your shirt, and he and I connected about cars instantly. We talked for 30 minutes about cars we have had, videos we have watched of yours, etc. Brought him into the garage and showed him my imported Altezza and it all started because of your channel. Now every time he comes to the house we update each other on our builds. Your channel here as a huge impact. Always count the small victories. Appreciate you.

Hi Evan, I found you and Victoria years before I was saved. Your Christian core message made me uncomfortable but your daily advice resonated. You bought the Miata and that video series motivated me to buy a Miata. Since the first house upgrade, it has felt disconnected. It casually transitioned from trust in God to trust in the world. I was saved last year and realized you were a part of that process too. You used to glorify God every episode and show your spirit and I believe God rewarded you with your platform. I’m so happy to see you talking so much about God and your trials in this video because that truly feels like a return to form. You and I share a lot of similarities in interests, personality, and struggles. I’m here to support Evan Shanks the child of God, not Evan Shanks the materialistic KZbinr. So happy for you and happy to see where this goes. God bless you and your family. ❤❤

First off, I want to say congrats on the comp stuff. It’s crazy to think you started around a year ago, and now you are almost able to be in FD. Secondly, I’m glad you’ve come to all this realization, and that you’ve taken a step back to evaluate. I will say that I haven’t been the most supportive viewer to you. Back when you first started doing racing and stuff I kinda stopped watching, but that’s because that wasn’t the content I wanted to watch. But I think now I might start watching again. And I’m glad you aren’t making content you hate, and that you’re not in a place you hate anymore. Happiness is key. And I hope from now on you are happy

Business became harder, and margins smaller. Relationships were distant and then Found Christ. Alot of the same realization you have come to in the last couple of years. I am super happy to enjoy my coffee and watch this. I am happy for you and your family. Praise God!

For me it’s the lack of follow through. Not just with you but a bunch of KZbinrs, it’s just build after build. I want to see those cars get used. Build a drag car, take it drag racing, with goals. Try to run 10’s, then make it faster and go 9’s, etc. build a track car, take it to the track, then add more stuff, run faster laps, etc.

Evan, Been watching for years man, thank you for being so vulnerable with this part of your life. It's crazy how much of what you said in this video parallels the sermon I just heard today at church. God is for us more than we can possibly imagine, which is why sometimes he has to oppose us & the desires of our heart since he ultimately knows us fully & better than we ever could, and also what his plan for us is. Thank you for all your words of encouragement over the years and I know God has such a big plan for your life in the future. I hope you know that there will always be some of us here watching and even though we've never met, I hope you know we're all right there with you celebrating the victories, and also mourning the lows! Best of luck on this new phase man, excited to see where God takes you and your family!

I feel like most successful youtubers go through this. People think being youtube famous is a glamorous life but in all reality, its a job that no longer has boundaries in your personal life. You become a slave to content. You start creating what people want, not what you want to keep the income rolling in. And then you start buying more expensive things. Ive heard so many children say they aspire to be a famous youtuber and its sad because they dont truly know what comes with that life. Many youtubers lose themselves. I cant honestly claim im still a part of Shanks Squad. Just never unsubscribed from 10 years ago. But im glad i saw this video.

My life has changed and career paths have changed many times since then but still love cars and that’s thanks to you. I also love seeing someone with your influence talking about God so openly and giving him credit for helping you in the hard times in life. He really does give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and the worst part is like you said you don’t realize he’s trying to just “nudge” you in a different direction.

I was left with a 300 dollar impound bill and a 700 dollar ticket and bills to pay with no foreseeable income stream. Even now im sitting in bed questioning how i deserved this scenario but im keeping calm and reflecting on everything ive done to directly cause wjat happened. This video was a sign. Thank you.

This is the most transparent i’ve seen almost any car youtuber be; not gonna lie i stopped watching consistently every video as i used to because it was very evident that you weren’t fully “into it” anymore and that you had somethings in the background going on along with all the setbacks that you and Vic had to endure while also trying to navigate being great parents; it’s a lot to juggle and many don’t realize social media let alone youtube is like having many different full time jobs wrapped into one. Thank you Evan for all of your’s and Vic’s efforts and work i don’t think you’ve given up at all and can’t speak for everyone but i think it’s safe to say those of us watching will be here to support you for many years to come just as you pushed yourself to push out content and made sacrifices to give us something to help whatever we were trying to escape or to motivate us in the way you have 💙 Keep persevering Evan

Third, OG youtube was destroyed by Google. As someone who works in tech, I want you to know the back-end algorithms destroyed your channels progress for reasons they will never let us see, but that should not lead to destorying peoples livelihood and happiness.

I still believe that the day will come that you’ll come out and enjoy the world again with your cars with your friends and family. I’ve been watching your vlogs for 7 or 8 years now and to be honest you’ve been helping me and probably a lot of people also with all the positivity you’re sharing. So I really hope you find that peace you need Evan. sponsors, views, subscribers may be dropping but there’s still thousands of people who still believes in you and I’m one of those people. I know it’ll be difficult Evan but keep going we’re with you 🙏🏻💯

My brother, I appreciate you pouring your heart out and being so vulnerable and transparent. You may feel like a failure, but I think the epiphany you have had is worth its weight in gold. I feel like Christ at times will burn something to the ground remove the impurities from the top and build something new that is far greater and for his Glory. Do it all for the glory of God my brother.

Right there with you man. On a smaller level, and with a little less personal and mental issues (but some) - it has occured to me after years of grinding with KZbin, I still felt empty and learned that my family is the most important thing, and cars can really set you back. So much time devoted to them when I could be making memories with the family and not stressing over them. It's hard as a solo creator to plan all this stuff and you kinda end up being materialistic. Add in parenting on top of that. I took a step back recently and am in the process of downsizing and readjusting priorities and it feels great, though many don't understand it. God bless dude

Man this was fantastic to see you double down talking about Christ and the easily misunderstood situation. I dare say I've noticed your feelings towards the past lifestyle, and to hear the full explanation and God's conclusion on that rough season gave me hope because thats a really scary spot. Keep going deeper with Christ and living out what he as for you, I wouldn't be suprised to see you win FD in the coming years. You may not have the views but the impact is what matters and though it isn't sexy its real and real is needed not wanted. So thank you for showing up bro, I'm excited for what God has planned for you and your fam, be safe!

Crazy the path life takes us. I think this is evidence that material possessions don’t make you happy. If you aren't happy for what you already have then what makes you think you will be happy with more. I know I haven’t been happy with what I have, never having enough. I have a condo, can’t afford a house, or the cars I want, but have a wife, and two great kids, money will come with time but those are the real things that matter.

It’s the food you are eating and the frequencies in the air from all devices. Research heavy metals in the brain. The whole younger generation is suffering from the same exact thing. I came down with massive panic attacks in public about a year and half ago. I get it. It’s as real as it gets. But if you research how to beat it I promise it will get better. DO NOT LET THEM DRUG YOU!! You can beat it. It took me going into certain places feeling like I was going to die. But it showed me I was okay and I learned how to control it. Well not control it but realize it’s not real. It’s the fear of it and fight or flight reflex. I promise you that you’ll be okay. Unfortunately you have to put yourself in the places you fear. It’s scary as hell. But you’ll see your okay. Eat real food. No processed anything. Parasite cleanse. Look into it.

I’m trying to write a comment and can’t put the words together 😂 I’ve been going through a very similar journey, being pushed to the point of finally letting go of all your desires. What’s in your Heart is and will always be there. But YOUR need to get x,y and z, yeah we need to let go and let God take control. All the way. I grew up very distant from my Dad and only when I understood that God was working on me all along behind the scenes, and felt that love, things turned around and I learnt that there was so much he did for me that I simply wasn’t aware of… this is something I never saw happening 5 years ago… happy you’re back man. Keep pushing

Not sure how I missed this video but you now seem so much more relaxed. It's a lot to do by yourself. It's pretty wild to see what you've done without a massive crew like most! I t's clear you want to enjoy life without having to always have the camera out to please the masses. It's like going to a concert and focussing on recording it on your phone to upload to Instagram to show the world vs just sitting there and enjoying the moment. Good on ya Evan! Looking forward to the future!

And don’t forget about us little guys that truly enjoy watching all of your videos no matter what it is. It’ll be Dustin Williams and you as my all time favorite KZbinrs.

Evan - I have been watching your channel since the Scion TC days, even before you bought your STI hatch. You inspired me to also get an STI sedan. You mentioned life has had many recent challenges and honestly we are living a parallel life it seems. God works in mysterious ways. I can see the past pain in your eyes you have been though and believe me I have been there. The past year of life has been the most trying year I have ever been through. But even through the complete mess it has been, having faith and praying every day has brought so much light in what seems like total darkness. Stay strong. Once the door to inner peace is opened, it cannot be closed again. Take the leap of faith and open that door.

I stopped watch about 2 years ago because i bought a family car and gave up the car life, but i came through my subscribe list and seen your name and clicked into this. ill make sure to keep checking back once a week. cheers buddy!

I found your page while you were at your old place and what caught my attention wasn’t only the content, but the fact that you were open about your faith and willingness to share and be vulnerable. Everything you mentioned and are going through is relatable. We all have these dreams and set our sights high but when we do that we aren’t focusing on God first and foremost. We lie to ourselves that we are, but we aren’t. We seek this happiness that only God can provide. He does that in so many ways. A loving and supporting wife is extremely important as well. We are all so truly blessed and take it for granted. If we step back and look at what we have that isn’t materialistic, we will realize that we are richer than we think.

Dude this is HUGE. You may not realize this but holding yourself accountable to things is something most people can’t and won’t ever do. I’ve always supported you, even when I wasn’t always watching. I share a lot of the same “issues” like depression and anxiety and I had full on break downs telling God “I can’t do this anymore”. Change isn’t easy, change really sucks sometimes but when you’re backed into that corner and it’s either fight or flight, eventually you can’t fight it anymore. God has been working in your life for a long time, he will continue to share his blessing. All of your content may have been for a lesson but the reality is even though you were struggling on the inside. God really has blessed you with so much and you have so much to be thankful for and I’m not even talking about the material things. I’m talking your healthy wife and children. Your family, the people who truly support you. I realize that I’m pretty much a nobody but I hope you read this and I hope that you realize that there are people that will support you no matter what and I’m one of the few that will. I think your lessons can change people’s lives and will. I think maybe doing some sort of preaching and or sharing the gospel could be a great way to share new content and giving God credit for all he’s done for your life. We owe Jesus everything. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next Evan and Victoria. Love you both and God Bless.

I’ve always seen you as such a lowkey down to earth KZbinr that’s kinda slept on. Watching your videos apart from people like Jimmy, Randy etc your videos have always hit me differently because I go through what you have been dealing with too. Life can kick your ass legit but there’s always a bigger picture with high faith. It sucks to see things go down hill but that should never mean there isn’t another way. You’re an amazing KZbinr and have always seemed at least to me an amazing person out of this content world. I hope to meet you again once things are all set and well! Always wish the best for you man. Thank you for what you do and keeping this going❤️

Evan, I am not sure you will see this but I hope that you do. I’ve been watching your channel for around 7 years now, I have watched you grow not only your channel and brand but yourself and your family. Your videos never fail to put a smile on my face and the face of so many others. I have loved watching you build so many amazing cars but I am so happy to see you sharing this. I am sorry that the flamboyant life was not fulfilling and I pray that you find peace in your new path. Psalms 34:18 “The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves those crushed in spirit”. He is not interested in your past, but your future, as I hope many of your viewers can be. Wishing you and your family all of the best. Thank you for the years of smiles, I hope there are many more to come! I am excited to see your success and passion in drifting, good luck!

I'll be honest, I haven't watched much KZbin lately, but this is one of the first videos I've watched of yours in a long time. I've always enjoyed your content, as a family man and a Christian as well. I've always hoped the best for you, because you guys seem so genuine. I think what started to turn me away from watching your videos was the luxury cars. You got away from relatable content and it just didn't have the same vibe as it used to and I started watching when you had the red sti hatch. You've always got a great message at the end of each video and I think that's what I loved most. I really do hope you find the path that God wants you on. God sometimes puts us through meaningful suffering to get us to be where he wants us. If everything was going smoothly, what reason would there be for us to change? You got this, Evan. Time to do even greater things.
