No offense Vin, but this video is better than anything Hoonigan has put out in a long time. As far as the vlog style is concerned, it's interesting to know your take on the enthusiast market imo and I know you're passionate about it too so it's not forced. It could be cool to see you discussing it with other industry people. Cool to see the local scene as well. Whatever happens on the channel, thanks for sharing!

I hope so too. Hoonigan was special because they had corporation-sized budget but made content like a bunch of knuckleheads who love cars. We probably won’t see that happen ever again, but if the former Hoonigan and adjacent KZreadr hosts could all build a new culture of content in the same vein (but on a smaller scale) then the value given to the global car enthusiast culture will be immeasurable. I think if anyone can pull it off, it’s Vin.

People want to watch someone who’s authentic, someone they like. Let viewers guide you on what’s valuable, but know that a good chunk of the appeal is just being authentic about the stuff you dig. A crispy edit doesn’t hurt either.

probably means nothing to most watching this video but the fact that you’re sitting next to a mk4 while recording this makes my heart happy and shows the world goes full circle in life.

Vin is keeping the spirit of Hoonigan alive. We don't care about brands and corporations and all that other bullshit. It's just car stuff for car people by someone who actually cares about cars. Thank you Vin. It's great seeing all the fellas looking happy and well.

As one of the older guys here (probably), giving advice to help get people in cars so they can get out driving I feel would be a good thing. There are a lot of people that look to people like you, Hert, Zach, and even Scotto for what to do on their cars. Not a lot of info out there on how to get a car, how to make the most of your money to get on track. All the hidden cost to get on a track event is a surprise to most, they think they can just show up, pay an entry fee, and let it roll... Help keep car culture alive!

This vlog style is what is needed in the automotive community, as you said there are so many amazing KZread channels that cover great builds but the average person can’t afford to build those cars without sponsors etc etc. you idea of talking about what it would take to buy/afford cars from a low to high scale would hit the nail on the head IMO

I was about to comment this on the Goodbye to Hoonigan video but I was afraid it was gonna get lost and figured I had a better chance of you reading this here so.. I never really cared for Hoonigan but I saw you appear in the DDE video so I decided to watch this and man, you seem like one of the most genuine, down to earth, sensible, full of emotion guys I’ve ever come across and even tho I don’t know you all that well, I wish you all the best on your journey and I hope you achieve everything in life that you desire and wish for. And whatever happens I’m sure that, like me, a lot of people will stick along for the ride brother. 🙌🏻

Basically you're right. They were sold to Wheel Pros and after that things've changed. You have to understand that before that it was Ken and Brian that defined the kind of crazy content that we know for years. So now that they sold the company they have to follow rules put by the buyers that don't want the "Hoonigan" kind of content. Is more "arbitruary" and "responsable". And for the worst they started to doing the worst brand deals with huge car companies in the "This vs. That" like that Kia EV vs. Ferrari. We don't even have the crew working on cars anymore. So the guys that were part of the series basically quit and started their own things. What Wheel Pros didn't realized is that Hoonigan is not only a brand, is the people behind the scene and in front of the camera. @@Harry_Gersack

@@ADSImagens hmm responsible is not the first thing for me that comes to mind when thinking about how the content has changed. For me it feels like the videos are lower effort and more for the broad masses and not for the real car guys anymore. I know renting an airport or building a dirt track is not the least effort you can put in a video. But I see it like that: they rent the location and then they do the races and in one day they can get content for like 10 videos or so. I think compared to the hoonage and scumbaggery we know from years ago, that this is a easy way for them to make content. And from a technical perspective the videos have gotten really shallow. Not the true car guy content anymore. Probably helps to reach more viewers.. On the other hand I've recently rewatched a view daily transmissions from the donut garage and some of them had much more views than the videos from now

This video is refreshing, it's not about the same thing everyone else is doing. Straightforward, honest information, without all the bs.

You are doing the thing already. You are a part of the automotive cultural phenomenon that was Hoonigan. You stay connected with your friends from there, you buy cars because of your passion, you have your own unique perspective, and you're used to talking to camera. My deepest hope is that the lot of you guys all figure out that your contributions to that entity are valuable on their own as well and deserve their own deep dives. The "Oh, that's just Vin being Vin" or "Scotto being Scotto" brush offs to keep to the Hoonigan format doesn't apply anymore. You've got the content built in, and people will either stay because they enjoy it or not. Stop caring about what you think people want and just do you. And bring a camera. The rest will sort itself out. The happiest content creators are the most genuine ones. Hell, we saw Suppy smile today.

The point about mileage is so solid. Cars that have been driven have had some attention paid to them (especially older enthusiast cars). Plus, leaving a car sitting without taking care of it is potentially one of the worst things you can do to it aside from actually wrecking it.

Dude. This is the type of car content I live for! Just chillin, shooting the shit, and looking at cool cars. That's all i want!Keep it up!

The fact of flipping car has always been fun for me. And finding new cars to buy. Keeping up with the Cali car scene is always great to watch. Thanks for coming back online!

Cool cars, always. What I really enjoyed was the community and social aspect of it. Dropping in to see what others are up to, going to cars-n-coffee, driving, while your main story was talking about the financial risks of expensive cars. I guess that would be called the "B story". A lot of other KZread channels out there seem like they are working in isolation because it never shows them interacting with the larger community except to do collaborations that feel too staged.

I live for the community. Without it I’d have nothing to do 😂

Glad to see you doing your own shit and happy to see it taking off, keep up the good work big dawg!!

Personally I find that following someone on the inside of the car scene, watching them meet people, see their cars and share their opinions makes for the best content. I really loved Hoonigan's Carcain Abroad series and Scotto's Van series, and this video reminds me of those. Something about simplicity and honesty and real life setting makes it enjoyable. I would gladly watch more vids in the similar format, and if you go on a road trip, make sure to film it aswell.

So i only discovered you with the recent DDE vid and have to say your vlogs are perfect for where you are at. It gives you momentum and freedom to grow in certain directions, and you are naturally really talented at talking to camera and sharing your enthusiasm. Keep going!

You are in a unique position compared to other KZreadrs and that is, your viewers are invested in you as a person. Your time on Hoonigan gave us all a chance to get to know you and feel as if you're a "friend" so to be honest, most of us are just curious what you're doing on a day-to-day. KZread viewers are a voyeuristic bunch and we enjoy living vicariously thru the lives of people we relate to, & the same is especially true for car guys. We can't afford all the cars we really want so we enjoy watching others do it. Unfortunately for you that means you should just be a vlogger. Show us what you're doing. Even if it seems boring and mundane to you, it's a distraction from our own boring lives to watch how you live yours. I'm sure I speak for a lot of your fans when I say, we're just curious how you make a living playing with cars since that's all any of us really want to do ourselves. The other thing I'll say is, take advantage of your relationships with the OG Hoonigan crew and introduce us to your other car guy personalities. There are 2 keys to a successful KZread channel; being good at what you do (I think that counts you out as a car builder ;-) sorry) and being an entertaining personality (that's your bread and butter). Jimmy Oakes channel does well because he's pretty good at both but where he really shines is his crew of friends that all seem to be having a good time playing with cars. Show us you and your friends having a good time playing with cars. We'll watch that, promise.

Vin’s ramblings are exactly what you’d do with a buddy just shooting the shit, it makes for great engaging content, keep it coming.

Doubt I'll ever own a super car but i dig leaning anything i can automotive wise. I'd like to see videos on all the stuff you mentioned, especially how to flip cars successfully. Also, you're killing it cinematicly IMHO. I've enjoyed all the videos so far, keep it up man.

In terms of content ideas for the channel, I think a bi-weekly/ monthly podcast with literally anyone interesting of your choice would be pretty cool, sitting back, relaxing and just talking about cool cars, good times, and having some laughs. Very enjoyable content dude, glad you’re doing your own thing!

I love this kind of content. Hearing about how to flip cars and make money is definitely something I'm interested in. I suffer greatly from scope creep and can't leave anything not perfect, so I feel like I always spend way too much on a project.

VIN!!! Please keep the uploads coming. Your fans still need a dose of Vin in their lives

I recently sold a low mileage E46 M3 6MT coupe. All original paint, no accidents, no scratches, lots of nice OEM+ extras... I enjoyed driving the car, but only for joyrides and not on the track, because I didn't want to take the chance of getting it damaged. Knowing that the car would have been practically impossible to replace and a lot of its value was because of the mileage and condition took the fun out of owning it. I bought a 2020 M2C and I'm finally having fun behind the wheel.

This was such refresher for me. Thank you for sharing some knowledge, I can’t even begin to explain how well this video was able to grab my attention and keep it. Already these couple videos have been great to watch, I’ll definitely always be quick to watch any more to come when I see them.

These types of videos are exactly what we want, car based videos but with the social aspect of car life and making money with cars, driving cars, the dogs, everything, even the editing is top notch. Keep up the great work

LETS GO VIN!! Excited for your page my man!

Dude do a trade up series or something. Find a cheaper entry level car, mod it, sell it, do it again. Scale it up tell you get into something super sweet. All car KZread’s talk about the price of stuff kind of vague. Be clear about it. Your good at explaining that stuff. You’ll be crushing it soon dude.

Love this type of video - might be my favourite automotive content I’ve seen in a long time. As someone who’s just entering the automotive market to buy like actual performance cars now (beyond my civic with an exhaust lol) these are the type of topics I wanna hear. Really refreshing and most of all helpful. For me at least these practical type of videos on being an enthusiast are important. Don’t really have anyone to talk to about it so videos like this (that are rare) are super informative hearing from an experienced enthusiast like yourself. Keep doing what your doing!

Hit the nail on the head on multiple fronts. The struggle is real with having the car and having to think about the "what ifs" before every drive or having to think about if there is safe parking near your destination. Makes jumping in a Raptor or overland Cayenne Diesel the decision 9 time out of 10.

Definitely making videos on how you buy and sell cars. Just the things you look for such as resell value or just a car you have been wanting y'know. I think that would be cool seeing you go through cars for sell online and what you think of them and which ones you would buy to flip. Keep up the great work man!

Happy to watch you drop any type of knowledge I think you've done things a lot of people aspire to do, whether that's flipping cars up to your dream car, your job at Hoonigan or simply just owning tastefully modded cars. I think casual / honest conversations about any of this is great content

I love this Vin, the transparency you give to explain why, or why not you do things is so important now, as so many people and channels only show the 'cool', 'interesting' or 'amazing' parts of owning or having incredible cars and lifestyle. It's nice to know just because you have all these things it does not make your decisions easier. Keep these videos coming through! Im enjoying them alot as well as others!! ❤

Love your honesty coming from the viewpoint of an enthusiast who's worked hard to get to their dream ride. I got mine last year (although not to the same scale - '19 rs3) and reality and stress of ownership has tainted the pleasure somewhat. The financial worry and having to think twice where it gets parked is tiresome.

DDE army popping in.. love the content Vin. Knowledge is content and your knowledge has always been appreciated both in the past and now bro. Keep it fresh as always. It’s good to know that others also buy there dream cars but also go through these mental hurdles. It’s not about the getting the car but keeping it! Haha

I rate this man, its a good take, finding things to talk about that most other youtubers/car owners don't talk about. If you can find interesting things to discuss that I haven't heard 100 times I'll tune in 👌

All videos have been fire Vin I think we are all here for it dude!

Longer format, no click bait, rad dudes and chicks, sweet cars, honest and open talk and most importantly…….dogs, these are the reasons I’m loving your channel already. I think being able to show the stuff that you find interesting that partners previously didn’t see value in is a great way to do something fresh, I see threads creep into each channel as they start to fallow the add/stat route which I completely get as it’s how you stay afloat, but I feel like there is defiantly some value in deviating from that and developing a fallowing around more wholesome content, not sure if that helps but just know we are here for you, not because of what car you have, or what you are getting next, we are here for you and enjoy seeing how you do. Much love from aus.

You mentioned a few times, and I would love to see your perspectives on buying/flipping cars. In general I feel like I have pretty realistic expectations, I know I’m not gonna roll in money within months, but I want as much of the real, nitty gritty shit to know about the process, the things to look out for, negotiation methods; whatever you can share. Separately, enjoying the vlogs, and would love to see more about the raptor obsession too 😂

Loving this style of content from you. Lots of solid info and easy to watch. It’s pretty clear it was the people like you who made the shit from Hoonigan so fun to watch. I don’t have any ideas for future videos but I will definitely be along for the ride while you try and figure this out!

So glad you’ve gone your own way, you just know your content is going to be 10/10. Love it

its nice watching these videos and getting excited about getting out there in your own car ,wrenching or whatever.

very cool vlog vin! spontaneous and interesting to see the exposure of other people's lives that is curious to many on the internet. In my humble opinion, I don't think you need to ask what the audience wants to see. Your daily life, as you just showed, is interesting enough for us to follow. Just continue with the car projects, which is already a lot of fun to follow! Looking forward to the next one, abs!

Honestly this was a work of art. I enjoyed the whole video. Keep it up! And yes I would like to see a video of you ranting about your raptor choices. Lol good stuff man. Also that pan in of the old guy watching you pull in the drive was classic.

I like this style of content aswell as out and about stuff, I'd like to hear about the raptors and other things! Honestly it's really cool to see you being your own person without the previous brand surrounding you. Keep it up man!

I’ve never been afraid of high mileage, as long as there are good service records. One of my best used car purchases was maintained by a DIY mechanic that had clipboards with dates, mileage, what was done, etc, hanging in his garage for each of his 3 cars. I was very comfortable buying his C63s with 135k miles over 5 years. He did most of the maintenance himself, but every 6 months he brought it to MB to do an inspection - which was on the Carfax. I sold the car at 180k, and it was still running like a champ, and I adopted his record keeping and inspections for all my nicer cars.

love your videos bro. just keep doin what you’re doin. and just remember, the first take is always the best

I’m so stoked you’re making content. 🤘🏽

Vin, I subbed to this channel because, like top gear or grand tour, it didn’t matter the channel name or the content i came here because one your lifes journey is very inspiring and gives me hope that being independent can still be achievable. Two the cars that can be thrashed will likely be thrashed and not unnecessarily destroyed for content. I wish you only the best and i hope you find the best balance of enjoyment to work ratio on your content creation.

This video was dope. Hearing your ideas and your transitions and storytelling skills were all something I'll stick around for.

Great video, Vin! Seeing the old crew will always be a hit with me. You're two videos in and already on my short list of favorite car KZreadrs. Be you! 11/10 on the video thumbnail too. 😂

Im stoked for more content, this actually made me think about my 996. Id like to see more on the financial end of owning higher end / performance oriented cars and how to save cost and maximize the experience

Love just seeing more of you on camera Vin. Also really like the editing style, not overdone but still fun. Keep it up!

Love the content. Also huge W having Amy & champ in the Vlogs, because they're a huge part of who you are/what you do.

Thank you for keep the spirit alive. It was always about family. Much love Vin & the boys.

The way this video is structured is really good imo. Talking about stuff while having little tid bits of action in between. Keep it up, super excited what the future hholds for you. Ill be following

Man you are doing great! Awesome seeing the old crew and hearing your thoughts. Keep it up!!

...it's Vin Diaries! Appreciated the insight on high dollar car ownership. Also great to see some of the old crew. Keep it up! I always enjoy your content.

Vin you're making all the right decisions by being prudent about what you do with your RS3. Its my bucket list car, but who knows. Great video because you're just being honest and you're being really focused on your audience. As a "new" content creator, I think you're killing it! I feel the same way as you about creating valuable content. Keep up the great work. I am following you and appreciate the inspiration on just making videos on what you love.

also this was a fantastic video the cuts and editing were great literally did not have to skip any of it, which i have to do in alot of car videos these days.
