    Matt, you're an OG. Whenever I think about who really deserves to be in this business, and who is an auto enthusiast to their very core, you come to mind. You have a genuine passion that's so rare in this industry, where despite all the access, you've never gotten jaded and just love what you do. It's super admirable; so happy we met and became friends through this YT journey!

    I don’t know how much a single view will help.. but this was one of the most honest videos I have seen in a long time.. you have a lot of courage to come out and say this and live a life of honesty. It would have been damn easy to skip over all this but you didn’t.. also it’s such a wise decision that I feel that this is just a small blip in your career and you will come through it because I can see how mature you are. I will try to watch your videos more often and I hope others too. Be strong buddy !! Some day the Bullit will be back !

    This video got me choked up Matt. I can really tell just how much you loved that Bullitt Mustang. I remember being at the Detroit Auto Show in 2018 and seeing just how excited you were at the Ford booth during the reveal. It was such a special car and myself and Rob are so sorry you had to part ways with it. I hope the new owner enjoys and takes care of the car as much as you did. KZread can be extremely cutthroat at times with the algorithm, but I hope you never stop doing what you're doing. Keep fighting and trying new things with content to get more views and your hard work will pay off. I am extremely grateful to have met and known you for all these years, there will be a silver lining underneath all this pain and we look forward to seeing you at more future events! 😊

You dont have to do what everyone else is doing, but you do have to at least try some new things and bring some new life to the channel. The same thing you’ve been trying for the last 4-5 years is just not working. We all want to see you succeed but if you keep doing the same review format and the same weekly updates, you’ll be working a regular 9-5 soon. Good luck matt dont be afraid to leave your comfort zone!

    Don’t get discouraged, I whole heartedly don’t believe you need to make rapid trendy content to succeed, I’m on my 6th video in a row on electrical wiring 😂 and own cars for 10 years+ on average. I think car reviews are difficult in general because they’re largely driven analytically by the vehicle itself, and the economy right now isn’t doing too hot with high interest rates and inflation. I know you’re not a mechanic by trade, but would you consider buying a high mileage New Edge Gen Bullitt as a fixer-upper? I think a lot of people would be interested in watching you learn along the way, take your time, and give an old Bullitt new life. Mix a video in every couple car reviews and keep it casual. Also, I cry literally every single time I part ways with a car, it’s totally normal! Hang in there!

The attention i got from it the sounds it made. Picking up my to be wife and mother of my 3 children in it for our first date. overall my baby. As i got older i had a family and a mortgage things were getting exspensive fast and i had to sell it. My heart still breaks when i think about it. I was driving it one night on a stormy evening lighting everywhere but no rain. The thunder of the v8 matching and echoing the energy of the lighting storm. I knew in that moment i was living in a very special time of my life and that one day it would all just be a distant memory. Il never forget that night.

After driving it for 2 summers I realized the same thing. Channel isn't justifying such an expensive toy. I recently bought a 2006 RSX Type S that i'm slowly building up and tbh with you it's been more fun than my stock mustang ever was! Consider getting a Miata or something! So much fun for the money and you can slowly build it whenever it's feasible! Good luck man!

I remember you were still called subaruwrxfan and the first video I watched from you was that 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP over a decade ago and the last video I watched was your 2020 Type R. Weirdly enough, I'm subscribed to you but the algorithms haven't been showing any of your videos. Its not that I didn't want to watch your videos anymore, its just that there's so many KZread channels recently (especially in the car industry) that your videos were buried by newer KZreadrs. I had to sell my BMW too. That car defined who I am and it pains me a lot to get rid of it but I had to do it to save my financial life. Especially when it only depreciated $10k CAD in 4 years/105k kms. Its ok to cry. I cried when I sold my Bimmer too. 😢

    As a man and car enthusiast, this video broke my heart. I too have had to give up cars that were special and was lucky to have. The rawness and honesty of putting yourself out there in this manner holds my respect any day. Best advice I can give is keep doing what you love. Money comes and goes, cars come and go and if you continue to do everything in your power and visualize what you want and how your going to get there good things will follow. Good luck on your next car journey, I know in the future you’ll have something slick!!!

    My younger brother: You have brought so much joy to guys like me who've watched you for years, going on journeys with you and hearing you laugh and get the huge giggles when doing accelerations. It totally sucks to see that the youtube algorithm has not made things better for you and your family. It would hurt anyone going through the loss that you are, as a car guy like us. But allow me to tell you this. I've been in your position already a couple of times. These incredibly angular cross roads can be very powerful for personal and financial growth. Sadly we always lose a massive level of that something that we love at the time of pressing the brakes, but later on you'll make the observation that you did exactly as it was supposed to be. When you get there, you'll know it and recognize it, and what you've lost will re-appear and ask you if you want it back. I know this sounds absolutely stupid or incredible but it's so true. I was told this and didn't believe it at the time, but now I know it's been true, twice. I'm confident enough to let you know about this. Meanwhile, the universe has presented this opportunity for you to focus on your path that you want to chose. None will be wrong, but different. Don't think about which one you want too much. Pick one and go; at first driving at night, it will be hard to see your destination, as your head-lights illuminate only a short part of the road never travelled. Take things 1 stop sign at a time, and as the giant entrance gates become clearer from far away, never lose focus of them no matter what the daily loser demons are trying to do to distract you. Next thing you know, you're looking back and smiling about all the awesome experiences during the trip. Most however do not take the trip, and hence never get to any destinations for that matter. For all the fans: 1- If you are not subscribed to this absolutely amazing channel, please do so, but firstly make sure you have a youtube account, or else you won't be able to. 2- I ask you kindly, turn off your ad blockers. This is utterly disrespectful to channels that bring you so much joy. Matt has brought so many of us good times by watching his car reviews over the years. Not only that he deserves a hell of a lot of money for what he does, but it's not a big deal to watch a few ads during his show. Cheers and looking forward to more journeys ma man. Let's take this road and see how it handles! M

I’ve been there and I would never wish it on anyone but the lessons I learned have stayed with me and made me stronger. It will be the same for you.

    Bro you are hands down my favorite car reviewer. Keep your head up though bro. It’s going to work in your favor! Last July my wife abandoned me and our two kids and things seemed to fall apart but I kept trusting God and doing my best. I had to sell my hellcat for my lawyer and that was the cherry on top of the crap Sunday. Things are WAY better for me now though. I even ended up getting a 22 GT500 that I never thought I could get. To me the GT500 would always be out of reach and just a fantasy. The 500 was a new one the dealership never sold with every feature I ever wanted and I got it at a cheaper price than I ever could’ve imagined and I love this car more than the hellcat. Also I’m killing it as a single father and yes it’s frustrating but it will work out. Tough times don’t last but tough people do.

    Don't think of the downtrend as your failure. The car content market is saturated and less viewership doesn't mean you're a failure. Long form podcasts suck up potential viewers and cars are losing their cultural importance more each year. There are strong headwinds out there and they say nothing about you personally. Please think about this challenge positively and be curious about what the future will bring. It will be an interesting journey! A chance for further growth.

    Met you at indy when you were there for the shell sponsored trip. It was obvious to me you were super genuine and really cared about your fans. You even did the old subaruwrxfan intro for me. Things will turn around for the channel, the algorithms will change. I've definitely been frustrated with youtube not showing me content I want to see from channels I would regularly watch. It sucks that the formula that's hot right now isn't really your thing, but I'd consider you among the best car reviewers on the platform. You bring so much charm and genuine excitement to your reviews.

    You've inspired me since I was a teenager during the WRX days. Don't let it detract from the fact you've always made great content and have an amazing personality that's brought you so many subscribers and good things. KZread wants to mold you into being flashy or extreme, and it's unfortunate that an algorithm really controls the spirit of your channel - but I'm glad you've never let that spirit die. Even if we've reached the end of the book of the Bullitt, there's always gratitude left that the story happened - and the opportunity left to begin another. I hope you continue to enjoy doing what you do as long as you choose to, and that nothing holds you or your family down financially. You're the man Matt. Lot of respect.
