    Fast and Furious Style Car Meets

    Well drifting is a core driving skill, any good driver should know how to put his car into a controlled drift :) Not saying we should do it on public roads obviously since it's a massive public safety hazard.

    Fast and Furious Style Car Meets

    Yeah maybe it was an ignorant question :) I'm just basically looking to do car-related stuff weeknights, and weekend evenings since I don't drink alcohol. Not as big of a fan as "sponsored" events with vendors, looking for impromptu meetings but with a good crew of people. Don't care what kind...

    YouTube F#cking Youtube money - 16 yr youtuber Tanner Fox getting his 2nd GT-R.

    I don't know how he does it, that's what he told me. He has 15 or so different corporate entities, not sure if that's what the trick is. He buys his Ferraris used, drives them less than 1,000 miles and sells them for basically the same price he bought them for. That may have something to do with...

    In reality, I'm sure those cars are being written off as business expenses :( I have a friend who does this. He makes about $500K a year doing a small business, good money but not enough to support the 458, 488, Range Rover, Escalade and the M3 he has. All tax expenses, and he basically flips...

    I think she got out last year. There was too much BS for her to put up with: 1) Dozens of copycats. Everytime she would put up a vid, you'd have dozens of imitators putting up the same exact outfit and video style 2) Actual real life stalkers. You had the "fan" stalkers who would stalk her and...

    It takes an insane amount of work, talent and/or luck to have a video hit 1 million views. To actually make a living as a Youtuber you need consistent and frequent content at a minimum generating tens of thousands of views for each one. Very few people can pull this off. I challenge anyone here...

    She was basically a fashion blogger. Chose different "OOTDs" and told her subscribers where she bought them from, etc. She had A LOT of fashion retailers reach out to her to push their products. A lot of them offered a good amount of money too. Two big downsides: 1) Subscribers tend to hate...

    At least you acknowledge that youtube is indeed very hard work and very difficult to succeed and even harder to stay successful for a long time. Youtube thrives on trends, and it's a constant struggle to be "trendy". The thing that I appreciate most about youtube is that it's a grassroots...

    Lol too dangerous. She has something setup where basically any mention of her online gets tracked. She was a "fashion" guru, let's leave it at that :)

    Just gonna throw in my 2 cents. My ex-GF was a youtuber several years back. Was pretty good at it and successful, over 500K subscribers. Back then it wasn't the silly money you see now, but she still got paid and was flown around the world by various sponsors and was offered all sorts of...

    I'm more of a Japanese tuner person myself, so I'm still coming to grips with not really being able to tune my car unfortunately. If there are any 370Z, Celica, Supra, BRZ (86) owners, lol I'm going to stalk you at car meets.

    Looks very nice. We should meetup at a cars & coffee event soon, would love to hear your exhaust. I've been going to FuelFed events and they are alright. I went to a PCA event here...lol never again. Well maybe I'll check out their AutoX, but they probably think I'm a ricer given my age and...

    Thanks for the welcome! So far only Borla exhaust and a set of BBS winter wheels. Thinking of other stuff like clear markers, possibly a wrap. You? Would love to hear suggestions and ideas!
