Jared has got to be one of the few most genuine car guys in the youtube car space.

[@2020WRXSTI]

Can not agree more

[@absolutelynonameslef]

He's one of us. Except likeable...and with serious mechanical skills...

[@thagerdorn2009]

Jared and Derek. Not only are their colabs great, but they are the two most humble down to earth guys ever. They are just as nice and awesome in person.

[@christopherdavis8442]

Hell he joined as a fan of tavarish while working at speed for sale. Genuine intro for a genuine guy.

[@kirkkephart6615]

Agreed! So excited to see him and his channel growing even more.

[@Manofkp33]

Jared, the fact it means that much to you makes this series all that much more special. It also shows us one of the real reasons you and your channel are special. You're a real person. You're not afraid to show it and let us into your world. Not only are you the Professor. You're also one hell of a man. Good on you my friend.

[@RickLBZ]

Can't wait to see the series on the restoration. Thank you Valvoline for making this happen, Jared and Mrs. Jared are going to love cruising around again in her.

[@andres09jt]

At the beginning of the video I thought "This is gonna be a boring one" but let me tell you that at the end I just said I hope I had some memories as meaningful as you do. That's not just about a car but all the passion, effort and time with your loved ones. You can get it up and running so you can go with your wife and relive those precious moments.

[@SunikaSKVR]

Happy for you… my late brother left me an 87 grand national.. I tried 19 years ago to restore it… but I was 19 and knew nothing… didn’t even know cars used oil to run… and there I was with most guys dream car… it sat for 15 years and then I was challenged…here I am.. now wrenching myself thanks to KZbinrs like yourself. Thank you for the story. Thank you for all of the videos. I know you’ll finish your car with love and even more memories. Thanks bro..

[@organiccold]

You need to watch Legitstreetcars channel as Alex has been working in a Grand National

[@SunikaSKVR]

@@organiccold I also watch Alex’s channel… tbh.. it was vice grip garages video that coincidentally sparked my light again on my brothers car. I’ve always made sure it was garage kept until I bought my own house, and now it just feels right ya know… do I know exactly what I’m doing? No… but… I have determination and KZbin to help. I know it’s not the same sort of story as Jarrods.. but I know what it means to never want to part with a car because it’s way more than just a car… I got it running and recently upgraded the brake system to a hydraulic system. Our mom and sisters definitely love seeing the car running again… thank all you guys… more than you know i am eternally grateful for all of your videos and the comments as well!

[@Foxlawl]

@@SunikaSKVR Ironically, it was VGG's channel that made me want to work on restoring and bring back the 1985 Grand Prix that my Dad and I worked on back in my teenage year.

[@wpockl]

Your story about that supra almost brought a tear to my eye, no wrenching no matter. This is one your best videos ever Jared.

[@lordbungle6235]

Almost? It hit me right in the feels.

[@Fatluvin420]

Jared, I’m a long time supporter of you. Even when this wasn’t 100% your channel. Don’t feel bad about not having any “wrenching” in the videos. This is the questionable garage, not wrench every day. We love this channel because we love you Jared. We love hearing why certain cars mean so much to you and story videos are sometimes better than full on wrenching videos. Anyways I guess what I am trying to get at is that you have a really solid fan base that enjoys anything and everything you do, so don’t fear putting out a video when there is little to no “work” done on camera. It’s nice to have the back story and depth of a project past just horsepower and numbers for a machine. ❤

[@nasimwehbe8410]

Dude I almost got emotional especially watching you and the Mrs. driving away after the wedding. That was awesome. I'm more motivated than ever to get my car back on the road and done the way I want. Can't wait to see the build.

[@signdeals4972]

Sometimes when people say “things don’t matter,” I don’t think they understand what circumstances might be involved. I have a pocket knife from my grandfather, a Jeep that I restored with the few precious spare minutes I had at that time. I have a chisel that my father forged in high school. Things? Maybe. But they become artifacts of my family and the memories with them are priceless. Good luck on this build. I don’t think you’ll regret a thing.

[@willasrock1]

I SEE THAT EVANGELION POSTER, JARED! Now we all now Jared has a bit of weeaboo energy deep down, it's no use trying to hide that. Lmao

[@KirsiKitten]

Ha, glad Im not the only one that caught that.

[@daniesalex7073]

Do you mind posting a time stamp

[@chriholt]

Jared, you are simply a great guy, and both your lovely wife, and editor Duane must be so proud of you and love you so much!

[@justinturner4850]

Your preaching to the choir my friend. We all understand. My “heart car” is an S13. I’ve owned three of them, but “the one” was a car I saved up and worked on for years. By the end it was a street legal track car. 380whp gutted, externally gated monster. It wasn’t very pretty, but it was sorted, and fast and so much fun. But I had so much blood and sweat and years of dreaming about what it would be like when it was done so when it finally was, it meant the world to me. I sold it when our track closed in 2005. But I wish I still had it. I loved that car so much.

[@robertsomerville320]

Hey Jared, I can truly say that as a "car guy" in the 35 year since I got a driving license, there is a car that is a heart car. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, and it doesn't matter what the trends are, the heart car is your soul on the road. I was moved to see the emotion you have for the Supra and every thing it stands for. Go for it brother build away, the viewers will watch and follow it for sure. Good luck on the build!

[@BastiaanOlij]

Jared, your passion for this car made it well worth just hear you ramble on about it for 20 minutes. This is why we are car guys, making great memories.

[@nicolasarenas8988]

I truly enjoyed this episode. Actually way more than the normal wrenching which I quite enjoy! I think it's because everything you said here was so real and meant so much! Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great content!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrBillsfishin]

Actually teared up a little hearing how much the grey Supra meant to you and your wife. My Grandma sold my Grandfather's Saab 900 Turbo after he passed away in 1985 and purchased a new Supra in 1986. She brought it up to my house in the High Desert because she wanted to know what the top speed was and wanted me to take her for that ride. It was about as much fun as a 16 year old kid could have. She yelled ok at 130 mph on the speedo. My love for those cars was cemented.

[@cliffwebb3002]

Don’t tend to comment on KZbin videos but been watching a long time, no need to apologise about no wrenching most people are here to watch you because of you dude and to see something so genuine and wholesome just makes it like chatting to your best friend keep up the good work and just keep being you man 👍

[@MFStuffNinja]

The concept of the heart car hit me hard. My heart car wasn't even one I owned. My dad picked up a "little old lady owned" 1984 Buick Skyhawk in around 2005 for his daily driver. When my car blew up and I needed something to drive to college, he let me drive it. It was so small and "quick", and I loved it. He blew the engine about a year later, but I still think about that car nearly 20 years later.

[@Justindobb1984]

Good for you Jared, doing what your heart wants, even if it took the Valvoline team to kick your butt into gear to do it. It for sure sounds like a child you and your wife love, bring it back better than before so you two can enjoy it and make even more memories with. Keep up the great videos and work!

[@doctorlarry2273]

Good video, Jared. I remember when you were working on my 1994 Supra, I would get to see and hear a bit about the silver MKIII you had. I recognize the feelings you and your wife have for that car because I and my son have the same feelings about my MKIV. Everyone in my family knows that it will always be my "favorite" and it will go to my son when I am no longer able to drive it. I hope one of his boys gets to understand how we are so attached to it, and possibly they may inherit a real special car some day. 😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@basicallyedward]

The heart car or moped, or what is it. That's the one you will always remember back to. It is the car that you love, but the other cars you may love them, but they don't have the same meaning as the heart car. It is heart warming to someone open up finally about their car. Everybody just got one of those cars, and everyone knows what it is.

[@iamelcapitan]

Follow your dreams man. I keep coming back to the Subaru SVX which was my first real “sports” car in my early 20s and am currently working on a dual restoration project between a 93 for show and a 94 for a daily.

[@hobozeus676]

Jared, you are by far one of my favorite KZbinrs. The love you have for cars is unreal. Your an inspiration and someone people strived to be. Thanks for being you and all you show. Hope to meet you one day man!

[@bobadam7021]

I don't have a car like that. I loved my 86 Firebird through high school and into college, I wrecked it and the love affair ended. I loved my GTP unit it slowly dissolved, but still ran onto the trailer pissing raw fuel everywhere when the jack pushed through the lift point and crushed the fuel line. Then I wasn't in love with it anymore. I loved my 06 GTO, until I wrecked it. When I made the decision not to repair it, I felt bad that I let the car down, but I wasn't in love with it anymore. I've never had that lasting love affair with anything. I'm glad you have yours and I look forward to seeing you put your passion into that car.

[@BillConnelly813]

I remember how excited & proud you were to show me the R when I was picking up my Supra from the shop. It's a fabulous example & a great, rare car for the lucky enthusiast who snags it. Eager to watch your build on the '89!!! I'm sure it's going to be amazing.

[@st4ck4tt4ck]

Touching video - you can really feel the love for that car and its obvious sentimental value to Jared and the Mrs. Can't wait to see the dream of having it back on the road come true. Gotta have dreams! -- mine is that someday I will get up to meet the GRC guys who are so helpful to me on my Scout and someday meet Jared and get him to sell me that Scout he's leaning on in the beginning of this video! 😁

[@markkistner1431]

Thanks for the story! I own an 83 and 87 Supra Turbo. I was mainly into MKIIs until I rode in a slightly modded MKIII at a Toronto Supra Club meet and then immediately fell in love kept my eye out for one and got mine for a great deal. 15+ years later I still own them. I dont drive them much (1-2k mikes/year) but still appreciate them and turn heads and have a lot of memories with. Ideally I always wanted an 84 and an 89+ and a TT-R Green Mica was always on the bucket list especially since they were allowed in Canada earlier than the states which I'm in Buffalo, NY so would occasionally go up and see one in person. Good luck and looking forward to watching the build!

[@dan725]

I can relate to you SO HARD on this. I've followed you since the channel started (after Tavarish's earlier few videos). I recall you momentarily talking of this car as it sat in the background every now and then. Thanks for giving us the full full story of this car! I know EXACTLY what you mean. That one car where you've spent so much time in. My 2013 Audi A3 hatchback which I've owned for 10 years now, is the car where I took my now wife to our first date (which I combined with several errands I had to do and she happily/begrudgingly tagged along LOL) and drove off from our wedding, the car I picked up my cat in, the car we took to many road trips in and is in so many pictures in the background, the car my wife learned how to drive in (she lived in Tokyo before so she never had to learn how to drive until she moved out for me to the US hahaha). This car is my heart car for my wife and I and we both love its practicality and fun character. We have so many firsts together on this car and it means so much to us. I've recently done some work on it to preserve it now so it can last as long as possible; replacing gaskets, plugs, coils, oil separator, filters, etc etc.. with more robust ones and newer revision ones that came out for later iterations of the engine. You are seriously my inspiration to do all that by myself. Thank you so so much. --- Also, you're doing such a service to the community by selling it to another enthusiast to be their "heart car." That was such a beautiful statement. And seriously, Duane the Editor is the bro'est of total bro's. Lending $2500 to Kid Jared and future Son-in-Law which has now lead to their current career in KZbin. I bet he did see something special in you and it has paid off in spades. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!!!

[@calebmcdonald8458]

Jared I totally get it. There are sometimes just those cars that become part of the family and mean more to you than a lot of people can understand. I’ve had a ton of cool cars, Porsches, Astons, a Ferrari, but my old Buick from high school is the one that brings a tear to my eye to think about. I had it for nearly 20 years and followed me through 7 states and a lot of ups and downs in my life. Sadly that one is gone forever as it burned to the ground on the side of the highway. I had let it sit and rodents built a nest under it that caught fire when I tried to pull it out of storage. So build the Supra my friend, and keep those memories alive. We will all enjoy watching it come back to life!

[@bosistak7632]

When I lived in Japan from 98-02, I had an 89 toyota soarer with the same twin turbo setup. I loved that car so much and when I left, I was able to sell it to another young car guy who loved it as much as I did. I'll never forget the insane times in that car!

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

As a fellow car guy, I totally get it. I have my late brother's Chevelle. He would sometimes pick me up from school in it and now I sometimes pick up my son from school in it. Floods of memories come back every time I drive it.

[@mattbaker5364]

I knew that outline from the thumbnail and was about to get really angry, but it makes total sense, and I'm extremely jealous. My parents got me an 89 NA for my first car, had it a few years and traded towards a black 91 Turbo. I've had lots of fun cars throughout the years but my 91 Turbo is still the one that got away. Can't wait to watch more on this car!

[@breezytuesdays]

Such a heartfelt video!! More power to you man!!

[@daviddundas4140]

Dont know if you guys ever watched, but at the end of Supernatural, they were talking about Deans Impala, sitting up front with Dad driving, Sam putting his little toys in the ashtray cars become a part of our life, I guess you need to be a car guy to understand that, but I wouldnt want to be anything else.

[@ltmedic3]

My wife recently asked me of course while I was driving, " why don't you sell the Chevy (57 4dr that I am restoring) so you can do other projects. As tears boiled up in my eyes all I could tell her is it was a piece of my heart. It was to be a project that my kids helped me with. Maybe not as much as I would have liked but they did. They are leaving for college and careers all with a love of cars. I totally feel for you when you say the car is a heart car. Can't wait to see it done.

[@laytonwhip]

My EVERYTHING car is a 1979 Chevy Stepside pickup. Ive had it since the day it was new. My dad was older and always in poor health, so we didn't do a whole lot together. But he bought me this truck when I was 17 and I grew up in it! When he developed dementia I would come over about 1-2 in the morning and drive him around in it. It calmed him as nights for him were tough. Gave my sainted mother a break too. It's sitting out in the driveway and hasn't run in about 8 years. Time for me to also start to work on the vehicle that means the most to me!! It will also go to my son one day, who loves it too! Just wish I had your skills..... Enjoyed your story, and I "get it"!!!

[@bretr427]

This is why I love watching your videos, even when the choices are questionable you're still putting your heart into it.

[@CrappyCar]

The first non Questionable decision in a long time, easy. You'll love every moment of this build, and so will we.

[@SurferSandman]

Great story time Jared. Thanks for sharing this and Valvoline for supporting Jared's channel.

[@jnordjr4]

Man this hits me in the feels! My first car was an '88 Auto/7MGE.. then I upgraded to the '91 5spd 7MGTE! Had so much fun with that car sold it when the family started to grow and miss that car, I hope to someday own a MKIII again!

[@distantcomets]

I've been watching your videos for too long because I figured out what car you were talking about before the reveal! Which says a bit about how long your subs have seen this car in the background! Looking forward to this loving restoration!

[@whytalkwhenyoucanyel]

My dad had one. He speaks very highly. I love that kept yours. Please build it.

[@josephlovell6951]

I feel you buddy my first car was a 1972 chevy Malibu. 4 door white Swivel bucket seats not the most desired car but the memory I made in that car can't be replaced...

[@unfinishedbizniz]

This restoration will be the greatest series since your heart and emotions are so into it! Can't wait!!!

[@legoman786]

I have never posted on your videos before, or may I have, I don't remember. Watching and hearing you choke up while talking about your baby, made me choke up. I sadly cannot find mine (not a Supra), because I sold it some time ago, but it holds the same soft spot in my heart. I know that you're going to put up a phenomenal series with this car.

[@anthonyshelton6786]

that's going to be so sweet to see you drive I know a little about heart cars thank you for taking us along on the ride as you bring this beast back.

[@Mltemple8333]

This will be a favorite of mine just knowing the connection between you and this car. I have a "keep forever" car that I could never get rid of so I can understand how a car can be tied to tightly to a person.

[@taylorroberts2690]

As a diehard A70 fan, I was pretty bummed out by the beginning of the video. But by the final ad break, I was so excited to watch the journey of you restoring your 89 Supra.

[@LJ_Jeff]

Damn Jared. Got me all in my feels watching this video and looking out at the 72 cutlass in my driveway. It was my dad's car and he finally let me take it off his hands last year after it sat in his driveway for the last +20 years.

[@xtremesnipes98]

man hold your head high because your putting your mind back on saving the car that holds memories for you and thats the best thing ever. i have a 2005 renault clio called eva that my mum found for me after my corsa 1999 died my mum had only passed her test a couple years and loved the look and feel of the clio and knew it was perfect for me, i came back from a trip to find my new car sat and i couldnt believe it i still have eva and plan of resotring her because in 2018 my mum passed away and this car means too much to just go to a scrap yard yeah probs waste of money but doesnt matter.

[@benjamindavidson632]

Probably the best video yet. I don't like the waffling except when it's a heart filled story. Build it, don't make it much better, just build it. We've all seen rthe monst builds. Goodnight Jared.

[@ajames8200]

Truer words have rarely been spoken. Now if only my family and friends understood this. Keep being a gearhead we are a dying breed.

[@pete2072]

100% get the heart car, as every car nut does. Just got my heart car running again today after 5 years of sitting, so the timing of this video is impeccable! Still a bunch more to do but hearing it run was one of the happiest, in the moment experiences I've had recently.

[@joshrepik]

I like story time with Jared. Don’t fret about it. I recently was one of the ones hoping you’d build this, and I’m all the happier to know you are going to do it and the sacrifice isn’t much of one when you get to keep the one that really embodies the most. I’m here for every questionable choice

[@1leggeddog]

Right in the feels Jared Right in the feels. You get that 89 running right. It deserves it. And so do you

[@7mgte490]

Like the story behind the 89 you and your wife it's really wholesome 👍

[@endlessrage4062]

The footage of your wedding, driving away with your new wife in the Supra was fantastic. Very emotional, I totally understand where you’re heart is. Gotta say, without the beard, I could’ve sworn you were Jason Pohl. The resemblance is uncanny! ☺️😉

[@rcadd1ct]

Tearing up thinking about your story as I am listening while working on my project car that has my name on the title and the previous owner was my Dad who passed away in the late 80’s. Projects have a life of their own. Your project will be perfect in the end. Why because you built it for you and your family. Notice I said perfect, not flawless. They can be a driver and it be perfect. Just do it!

[@cooky842]

I know thr feeling. My hard car was my 2011 golf 2 doors gti. Tuned, dropped. My first born son arrived in June. I sold my purple peanut to afford time off to be with him. I drove that car 10 years and I miss it every day, but it was worth it.

[@jterry211]

Heart cars are a real thing man. I had an 84 Datsun pu with the z24 motor and it was my senior year project in auto shop. But before that me and my friends had so much fun in it.

[@echoman6358]

You mentioned Dart. My Great Aunt had a 1970 Dart Swinger. Like Metallic Pumpkin with a white vinyl top. Wish I had that car today. In the condition I remember it.

[@forresttm]

I could spend hours listening to jerad talk passionately.

[@PathosBedlam]

I'm so glad you are able to share these stories with us and I can't wait to see the Heart Supra on the road again bringing back all the memories for you and your wife and extended family. I'm sure the green twin turbo Supra will find a great home from someone who hopefully just watched this episode. That would be just perfect. 👍👍

[@codypk5111]

It’s also more exciting to watch since every single bit of work is gonna be done as perfect as humanly possible

[@HammerWrench]

You’re hitting us in the feels. Making me think about my favorite car. The 89 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. If I could find it, I’d get it back.

[@drewunderwood2859]

1968 C/10 sitting in my driveway, for 35 years i put off working on it, started to sell when my oldest son ( then 10 years old) asked when we were going to go riding in it..... 5 years ago I started the trip of from the ground up, new suspension, period correct 350 motor, building the 400 auto, one piece drive shaft, new rear gear with positive unit, lowered 4/5 inches. All that time my wife knew I put off my truck to raise kids, home, dogs, family. When I started, she has never questioned the money I spend( well she knows I cheap so chances are I did not spend a lot) But not long ago, she said lets go for a ride, Boxer in the middle her at the door we rode in my truck. Now I say we rode in my truck, 480 lift/230 duration, new vortec 5.7 heads, 10.1 compression, Eldebrock intake, HEI distributor, the first full throttle pass was her screaming and laughing as it spun thru second and part of 3rd, and I realized it had been 40 years since burned a tire in this same truck. Dreams only die when you give up, fix the car, give your wife the keys and let her remind you how she won that race, my wife's first car was a 72 SS Chevelle so I had big shoes to fill.

[@puttitat2851]

Never knew what an amazing story teller you are. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@JRs-Garage]

Great video Jared ! I agree about the car that has a meaning…. We still have our 1992 EG civic si in my driveway that I brought my son home from the hospital as a baby in 1992 🤷🏼‍♂️ Doesn’t make sense to keep it but it’s the heart car 😁, and we still drive it every summer and laugh and reminisce 🤷🏼‍♂️🥰

[@kevinflott8613]

Car people definitely understand. For me that car is my numbers matching '57 Chevy 210. It's not my first car but it means more to me, than most people will ever understand.

[@joannaatkins822]

Having talked to you on twitter about this, I am so, so glad you're getting to your heart car finally. I have one myself I completely understand, and it is absolutely time to do it, and do it right. I say make everything what it is supposed to be from paint to engine to interior and then *use it*. Every car gets dents, wear, needs replacement parts, but your heart lives in one place. Don't get all Ship of Theseus, it's all there in that shell. My heart car is also my wedding car. It's a silly, awful little european city hatchback with no real value to anyone. My heart car is going to have to be scrapped in the next year. My parents in law have to sell their house for complicated reasons, and I literally can't afford to move it from their shed where they've piled trash bags filled with rubbish all over it, to my house, where we're banned from having any "project" cars.

[@joannaatkins822]

If anyone reading this wants to know what my Heart Car is, it's a 1993 facelift Fiat Panda. Not a 4wd like the one Doug Demuro reviewed, but very similar. I've tried to scrap it twice and failed both times being a sentimental fool. I've owned it since just before my 19th birthday. My grandad helped me repair the head gasket, and he's now passed and this is the only thing I have left that he touched. As I said it was my wedding car. I've owned this car for fifteen years, and because I've become disabled, a full time carer for my disabled husband, and a home school teacher for my eldest child I haven't got the time, money, nor physical ability to fix my car any more. It was also put away with a bunch of small and big issues that would make getting it on the road even more problematic. Don't do what I did and what Jared was in danger of doing and leaving it until it's too late.

[@undertone2472]

Jared, Thanks for sharing with us why the 89 Supra meant so much to you. Your decision to build it totally makes sense and sale the twin turbo R. I really enjoyed you sharing about your wife driving it in mode B. "Well the important question is did you beat 'em?" 🤣 Like a true care guy.

[@802Garage]

Literally the exact same game and reason my dream car for a long time was a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo AKA 3000GT VR-4. It isn't anymore, but still one of my favorites for sure. Fix your Supra!

[@subrosa.photography]

I'm right there with you, Jared! Working on the engine for my 87 right now. I want her on the road this year, too!

[@MrColdIce83]

Love your choice! The best choice is to follow your heart.

[@chasbarnes3425]

Awesome man, I got my childhood dream truck. My dad sold it when I was young and I was able to buy it back from the guy about 6 years ago it’s a 450hp sbc short bed gmc i put a brand new engine in it that has the same horse power and torque but a bigger cam so I have to change the converter out to a 2800 stall… anyway I’ve been planning on getting it up and running this year and you have helped me to work even harder in getting it running sooner thank you and I will be watching to see you get your dream car running as well!!

[@marcmann982]

I know the feeling man and it was the same way for me. I've owned multiple supras in my lifetime through all the generations . And none spoke to me more then the mk3 . I've always wanted a twin turbo r or just a jza70 in general. All the 6 ma70 supras I've owned have been my babies. But it's always hard to give up one of your loves but getting to keep one of them in the family, especially ones that has so much sentimental value usually means the most. Whenever you do list it for sell definitely be one of the interested parties tho. Keep up the good content man were all here with you

[@Life_and_Love]

Truer words have never been spoken 🙏 on this channel. You are a true car guy and we are here for you and everything you have planned. Can't wait to see this get back on the road and all off those memories come rushing in.

[@justasmith1235]

Good for you man, giving me inspiration to revive my "heart car" now.

Love that this car means so much to you. Looking forward to seeing it drive. I can't find my car that means that much to me, mainly because it has a 10 digit VIN and I can't find a way to search for it online.

[@jameslionheart9757]

I know that was a hard call to make, but I think I agree with you that its the right one. You got this bro.

[@bretr427]

This is why I love watching your videos, even when the choices are questionable you're still putting your heart into it.

[@rayenfernandes8447]

Finally! I always wondered when he would wrench on his heart car. I remember him sharing stories abiut the car in one if the episodes. Can't wait for the series!

[@WildDigger]

You are doing the right thing. That Supra is sweet. May never be the fastest but it is awesome. That generation Supra got me to really like them. A guy at work in Atlanta had a dark gray manual one with the targa top.

[@veryrancid3128]

Love hearing these stories, this is why we are car guys.

I completely understand! I sold my 16th chapel car and regret it every day. For most a 1995 Saturn SC2 is not what you would call amazing or a car guys car. It was my wife's first brand new car. 1 year later I became a Saturn tech. over time I learned how to build a Saturn to fly. This was all done by taking stock parts from different years. Like pistons out of a 1999 twin cam and run with the lighter 91-98 crank, or taking the head off of a 91 twin cam due to it's bigger valves. I did both when the car reached 200K miles. My wife got a 2001 special edition Yellow 3 door SC2(We still have this car with 298k miles with original clutch and untouched motor . Our daughter who started out in the back seat in an infant seat is the driver) and the 1995 SC2 became my daily driver so it had to get fast. I also swapped out the auto trans with a manual trans. By the time I was done the Saturn went from 124hp to close to 300 hp. Being an honest tech and not up selling jobs on every car that came into the shop, funds were tight when it was time for our son to start driving. I figured it was too much power in a small car for a new teen driver. We could not afford to buy another car and keep Sweet Pea. ( My wife named it) I sold it with 300k miles and we purchased a more responsible vehicle that would fit 3 hockey bags and sticks in the back.. I left Saturn and became a Police officer. My son now drives a 1990 Nissan 240SX and a 2003 Lexus GS300......Like a turtle. He did not get his parents lead feet. I have searched for that car but can not find it. Both my wife and I have moved on to Jeeps. You can see this 1995 SC2 on my IG car page @skittlesgarage. Let me know if you find this car.

You were a big reason i got into my turbo mk3, just got the car back on the road last week after sitting for 9 months. You got this Jared ez work for you 😃

[@americanrambler4972]

I totally get your attachment to your family member Supra. And your trouble deciding what to do with it. My input. Sell the Twin Turbo, and get after the real important family member, and rebuild its soul back to the long term family car it is. No need to make it what it’s not, make it what it is but only better. And that does not mean cranking it up to the point of un drivable over the edge of control speed and power. Keep it in the family and keep it lovable and enjoyable. For both you and your wife. Do it right. Don’t over do it.

[@neekovturbo]

Loved this Episode brother man! "Heart Car" yes buddy, we all have one. Can't wait to see you driving by the end of the year man. PS I saw the Evangelion poster in the background from your young days. Man that 2 seconds of seeing that poster brought be back to a good time. Thanks bud! Keep on Rocking J!

[@danielsmith9500]

This I y I watch. Ur a amazing guy Jared!!!! Can’t wait to see u put her back together

[@MariuszChr]

That completely makes sense Jared. Restore the hell out of it.

[@christopherelrod8788]

I feel you Jared. My first car I had and learned so much in it. Taught my wife to drive in it. Hell my daughter (at 2y/o) drove it around the parking lot. All the dumb things I did in it i had it for 10 years I was never going to get rid of it. (Been offered 2k just to put it up for sale I refused) sadly about three years ago some lady in a 2019 4runner slammed into it doing 40.....my dog and I walked away with no injuries. I wasn't even sore it hit so hard my seat broke. She was still able to drive home. But she would never be safe again without serious time space and money. Which I had none of so I had to get rid of her😢 that opal metallic green Honda refused to die (my profile pic before wheels and suspension I have on another now). I still get choked up when I think about the car. I'll always own a 90-93 accord.

[@Ghosty-RC]

Loved that Video! It's not about the rare Car, it's about the car that's special to you. For me, that's my 94 SC400, wich I fall in love with years and years ago. No I've got one and it's my forever Car!

[@ihatedietcola7920]

What a great story!!!! Looking forward to the build!!

[@tylerhill1438]

I really appreciate the video, I'm newly stationed in Japan. Searching for my 1JZ a70 dream. Wish me luck!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Best of luck!

[@jrbuch]

The 1J is such a sweet engine. My car is a series 3 Toyota Soarer JZZ30, but instead of using the R154, I'm using a Getrag V160.

[@esteban1973]

I feel you Jared. Had an 4 door S15 GMC Jimmy 20 years ago. It was the first car I bought with my own money. It had blue smoke coming out the tailpipe at the used car lot, but I knew it was an easy fix. Some gaskets later and it turned into the most reliable car I ever owned. Kept it for 6 years until it started giving me ignition switch issues and needed a new set of tires. Although it was in great condition, It wasn't worth much at the time($900).Felt irresponsible to put money into it. I wish I could get it back. Now these suckers are selling for over $10k again. If I had the space, I would have kept it forever.

[@guymanicone7921]

Love the story, car guys get it. I so wish I had the VIN number of a Vanagon Westy that we owned when my first son was a baby. I would track it down and see if I could buy it back.

[@evasesh6585]

I know all about hart cars. Mine was the car a 1965 Mustang given to my by my Mom, who got it from her dad. I made the mistake of selling it to a friend at the time because he needed a car. I told him, if he ever wanted to sell it to let me know because I would buy it back.. not even a month later I found out he sold it to someone else across the state. I have been looking for it for the past 25 years.

[@justingarrard]

Jared, these stories strike a chord with all us car guys. I really appreciate the story and insight to your life. It really felt like letting a friend vent and talk themself into something near to their heart. Can't wait to see the finished product, and hope to see you in Bristol again this year.

[@wolfdart42]

I understand completely. I have an 86 Camaro with a lot of memories and unfortunately they have to do with my now ex-wife. It has been mothballed and I can't even look at it anymore.
