Back to Investing (No More Cars)

Added: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]All right, guys. We're going to move the 911. And then we're going to take the truck and I'm going to go wash it a little bit. Just clean it off cuz it sits outside.

[00:00:09]It sits outside so long. I don't want it to get the paint get messed up on it.

[00:00:14]Got it right here all nice and tucked away.

[00:00:20]I'm actually going to open the other garage door and I'm going to grab some of that VRP stuff cuz I want to put it on the tires of the truck. that rubber vinyl plastic stuff.

[00:00:31]It's awesome, I'm telling you.

[00:00:37]All right, now let's get this thing started up.

[00:00:41]Look at this big lizard on the front.

[00:00:43]Oh, he's about to go in the grill.

[00:00:48]Oh, I like the smell of this thing, too.

[00:00:50]You wouldn't really think if you were a 911 person that you would really like driving a F250, but I got to be honest, it is extremely fun to drive. I don't know if it's cuz I spent most of my life driving like ambulances and fire trucks and trash trucks and UPS trucks and stuff like that, school buses, but it reminds me the most of a school bus, a Freightlininer school bus, like a M2.

[00:01:15]That's what it reminds me of.

[00:01:18]Of course, I decided to go take this thing to a car wash. And look at the sky.

[00:01:25]Looks like a massive storm is coming. I got my old school DDP shirt on when I was making shirts on Printfly or whatever it was.

[00:01:38]I don't like the print on demand stuff though cuz you it's not in your control.

[00:01:43]I bought a shirt off there for fun for myself to see how long the shipping took. And no joke, I'm not exaggerating.

[00:01:48]I think it was like three or four months before I got the shirt. So, I was like, I can't sell shirts like that. So, I want to sell merch, but I want to make sure that if somebody orders it, they get it quickly.

[00:02:02]All right, let's swing in here. If this thing will fit in here, it's going to be tight. It is going to be tight.

[00:02:12]I'm going to back it up. I'm actually going to do like the front first, the front half, and then I'm going to pull it forward and do the back half.

[00:02:22]I actually haven't walked this thing since we went to Orlando to see the uh Timberwolves game.

[00:02:32]Damn. Looks like I'm taking a damn bubble bath over here.

[00:02:40]like watching a school bus when I was a mechanic and it was winter time and the school buses would be in the lot and they wouldn't start because they had a problem or they were in limp mode and the transmission so you're only in third gear or maybe the drive shaft was pulled out by the tow truck driver that towed it to the shop. You either got to get underneath it on a piece of cardboard >> and put the drive shaft back in >> or just we would air them up with an air compressor and then we would This thing's about to run out of time.

[00:03:14]I end up spending like $50,000.

[00:03:20]We'd air them up with an air compressor >> and then you'd put a fitting in the tank like like an air ch like an air chalk fitting. The same type of fitting you see on an airline and then we'd air them up and then we'd tow them in with a forklift. Well, when you tow them in the the entire top of a school bus would be full of snow and ice. And I'm telling you right now, that thing would drip on you for like five days straight.

[00:03:47]So, what we do is we tow them up to the shop and then we get a a ladder like a step ladder and a and a big um like shop broom and you try to knock as much snow off as you could.

[00:03:59]A lot of times you get a lot of it off but definitely not enough to where it's not dripping on you and you're not rolling around in water for a long time.

[00:04:06]It sucks too cuz as a transmission mechanic and we work on that kind of stuff. We used to use Gray, the company Gray, you can look them up. G R A Y. We used to use their jacks and those jacks you would put one underneath you would put one underneath each tire and then you use air to to raise it up. So a lot of times we would just raise up the front. So I wouldn't raise up the whole entire thing. We would if we we we did when I worked in Fort Myers at the at Florida DRA diesel and I worked there for a while too. We did that there. But we're in DC. Let me see. All right. What do we got here? I got to hurry the hell up. Got one minute again. 50 cells 25.

[00:04:51]>> All right.

[00:04:52]>> Come on. Give me something. I'm on the wrong damn thing.

[00:05:06]But we would raise them up and you'd roll you'd roll around on a creeper and your your dickies would be soaking wet in like the first 10 minutes.

[00:05:19]I was in one of these the other day and I had the Porsche all clean and perfect and then a guy was like doing like I'm doing and the the soap was blowing over on the car and I couldn't get it clean.

[00:05:30]I had to keep washing it.

[00:05:42]Thing's running out of time again.

[00:05:47]25 be like $600 by the time I'm done.

[00:05:56]>> All right, I'm going to pull this thing forward.

[00:06:27]I don't know if you guys have ever seen the steps on the F250, but you push this, slides out, and then you got this little handle.

[00:06:43]truck's like the kid family mobile. We take this thing a lot and we do a lot of stuff with it. So, it's uh it represents more to me than just a truck. You know what I mean? Kind of represents like memories with the kids.

[00:07:01]I can't make it perfect.

[00:07:05]I'm going leave that open. Let it air out a little bit and then maybe at the house I'll try to wipe it down. There's my buddy Matt.

[00:07:23]What is up, guys? Brand new day. Today's the day we're doing our workouts. I'm walking around the house with my shirt off covered in Vaseline because it's raining outside and I think it's going to be full-blown David Gogggins out there. I have no clue.

[00:07:38]I might be more like Richard Simmons, but up early. I'm making the kids breakfast cuz my wife was up all night with the baby. I only did about two hours of it, but I'm exhausted from it.

[00:07:48]She was up the whole night. So, you can see it's raining outside. I'm making them breakfast and then I want to make sure I eat some carbs so I got some energy and then uh dropping them at school and then I think we got about seven people coming back to my house to to do this workout. So, we'll see. My buddy Matt's the one who's throwing all the workouts together.

[00:08:13]Chef Boy RD.

[00:08:18]All right, I got the tag for the 993 hard tag now.

[00:08:26]Holy hell, it's hot in here. Says it's 88, dude. It feels like 110.

[00:08:32]Today, you're going to be seeing me drive the E30, the red E30, not the white one. That's not here yet. and we're going to be he's still doing some awesome stuff to that one. Today he ordered an AC solutions air conditioning kit to modernize the AC from R12 to R134 and give it a new condenser, new lines, new compressor, new fan. So hopefully that E30 will have decent air condition.

[00:08:57]So my son's is so hot cuz those E30s are like a big fishbowl. We're going to do ceramic tint. So, we're taking the car over to Veto today. Going to get the ceramic tint done. All right, guys. I'm pulling up to the Starbucks. I got to find a parking spot. Oh, I saw one.

[00:09:14]There's no way I can get back there unless I do a little UI. They're not going to like that, though. I have to pull in here. Let the truck go by. Oh, that person got it. I know they got it.

[00:09:23]Know they got one.

[00:09:26]So, a little update. You guys know if you've been watching the channel for a long time, I've been pretty much hard at work and investing for most of my adult life, young my young adult life. And then I got a little bit off track, you know, with the cars, which I love. I love cars and I like investing, but I love the enjoyment I get out of Yeah, they got it. But this girl's leaving.

[00:09:50]Let me try to get this spot.

[00:09:54]But enough's enough. Sometimes you need to know when enough is enough. I read a quote. It said, "The man who has little is not poor. It's the man who craves more but has enough." I botched the quote, but you get what I'm saying. It's like the gain the world but lose your soul.

[00:10:15]Getting the 993 was, I think, something I needed to do because I sold that one and I just regretted it, man. I really have regretted it. I thought I had an aircooled 911 and I sold it.

[00:10:26]And now I've got one back. This girl probably thinks I'm filming her like, "Are you going to let me get the parking lot?" I'm putting you on the news. After getting it, it's in the garage and realizing all the stuff I got to get done and I got to find somewhere to keep them and the insurance and everything else. You quickly remember more things come with more responsibility.

[00:10:48]So, I had to put myself in check and just remind myself that enough's enough. You got to get back to investing and being smart. I've got the two cars. I've got the modern 911. I've got the old school aircooled 911. Enough is enough. They're both paid for.

[00:11:08]Now I got to get back, put my head down, get back to work.

[00:11:13]We haven't even had the E30 arrive. I'm not even mentioning that yet. That car is going to be fun as hell with a turbo on a M20. Well, it's going to be a 2.7 stroker. So, it's going to be really like an M20 B27 kind of. Right now, it's a 2.5.

[00:11:29]So, just wanted to let you guys know that sometimes it might steer you guys in the wrong direction, especially if you're young. And it's good to remember, you know, I didn't get a car until I was like 38. I was working and I was saving money and investing, trying to live smart all the way up till I was almost in my late 30s. Then I pulled the trigger. So that young money invested over time is super powerful. The power of compounding. So just keep that in mind. It's way more powerful than dollars invested in your older age. So look up the story of brother A and brother B from the book Unshakable or Money Master the Game or just that's a investing story in general. You can just look up brother A, brother B investing. just the power of compounding and that it's more about time in the market than it is about the amount or even the annual rate of return. Those matter, but the time is one of your secret weapons that you only have once.

[00:12:26]Once it's gone, it's gone. That's why you wouldn't trade Buff places with Buffett, even though he's a billionaire.

[00:12:33]Maybe if you're his age, you may be like, I'll switch with him. Last two years, I'll go balls to the wall. Who knows? All right, we're getting the laptop. We're going in Starbucks and we're going to start stacking this cash.

[00:12:47]We're going to figure out a way to get income, not to buy possessions. Enough is enough. Got a decent house, got the cars I dreamed of. I can say that the the life I dreamed of as a kid, I've achieved. I guess you could say it's good to just remember that instead of I'm collecting 911s, I'm getting an industrial unit. You know what I mean?

[00:13:09]It's all overkill, dude. Oh, unless you're got some big YouTube channel and you're fixing up cars and whatnot.

[00:13:16]Oh, throw this in here. Oh, man. That workout killed me.

[00:13:29]All right, guys. Just finished working in Starbucks. We're half back in the 911. We're going home and we're switching to the E30. So, we'll get a different POV than we're used to.

[00:13:45]All right.

[00:13:47]This is light work. Come on. Spill the T.

[00:13:52]All right.

[00:13:54]This is light work. Come on. Spoo.

[00:13:59]All right.

[00:14:01]This is light work. Come on. Spoo.

[00:14:06]All right.

[00:14:08]This is
