- Let's talk about satisfying car guy things.
You know like when you are parking at the parking ramp...
I don't park in a parking ramp, I park in like a normal spot
like a normal human being.
But when you parking in the park and then you get outta
your car and look back and your like, damn,
that's my hunk a junk.
That's like a satisfying car guy thing and we all have those
things that we do or things that we have done to our car
that have made us look back with a big smile on our face
and we're like damn, that was totally worth it.
This is one of those things we're talking today about.
In this video are some of the most satisfying car guy things
that hopefully you can relate to that we all so relate to.

I guess, I'm not sure.
I didn't know where I was going with that,
don't forget to hit the little bell button.
Let's get right into it.
So, the first thing I would say is probably one of the most
satisfying things that car guys do
is when you have the old high foam soap.
So I don't know about you guys.
We filmed a video one time, a long time ago
that was like slow-mo, high foam soap
it was all sexual and it was like beautiful and
slow mo (squirting)
and you got the gun and ya know what I mean.
And then your sitting there...
At first thought, high foam soap is only for like light grit
and dust, its not for like a hard clean.
So if you're using it for a hard clean your doing that.
But, your sitting there and its all like sudsy and you're
just looking at it and your just like....
Literally, just like that, like...
I don't know why high foam soap is just like one
of those things that we just thoroughly enjoy
that we use, but it's one of those things that we just enjoy
when we use it and it's not always actually needed.
I feel like sometimes you just use high foam soap
because it's like the thing to do and you take a picture
you throw it on instagram because it looks ya know.
It just looks cool.
And then you actually wash it off and the changes are
actually pretty minimal unless you ya know have a really
dirty car and you just high pressure wash the entire gosh
darn thing, anyway.
It's just one of those things that I find super satisfying.
The only thing I'd say is when you install your exhaust
for the first time and you go under a bridge or into
a tunnel and you just like you rip on it for the first time.
(car engine roaring)
The first time you go on YouTube, you watch all the videos,
you spend the $700 or whatever it is.
You're usually like this is your first exhaust purchase.
You don't know what to expect.
You put it on, you turn it on and your like oh my gosh
this sounds incredible.
You have to go find the tunnel and you go find the tunnel.
Windows down, it doesn't matter if it's ten degrees
or 90 degrees.
Windows are down so that you can rip through the tunnel
and just hear your exhaust for the first time.
Probably one of the best feelings in the world.
That's one of the things that I would say
is incredibly satisfying because there's like
there's such a big change and it always sounded so good.
You couldn't help but smile.
Then every single time your up to revved it afterwards
everybody got mad at you.
But the first time that you revved it, the first time
you went through the tunnel was probably one of the most
satisfying car moments in any person's life.
I'll say another satisfying moment which is also probably
one of the scariest moments in any car builder
or car enthusiast's career is when you finish a build
and you start it for the first time.
I don't how many times people out there have rebuilt motors
or have done anything in terms of trans or suspension work,
but a lot of times when you start going into the intricacies
of what actually makes the vehicle run, it actually
is pretty risky.
And if it's your first time doing it, your more than likely
gonna make a ton of mistakes.
So when you do it for the first time or you do it
for the tenth time.
No matter how many times you do it, when you start that car
after a fresh rebuild or you start that car after a motor
swap or something like.
It's probably one of the most satisfying moments.
Now it can quickly get deteriorated if something isn't
working, but for that ten seconds of it just turning on
and running it is one of the most satisfying experiences
in your life.
Because you spent so much time and you finally
got to hear it start.
And really nothing else matters for that ten seconds.
Now, if smoke starts coming out of the exhaust or you have
gas starting to pour out of the carburetor, you have to
deal with some other issues, but you know it's like for
those ten seconds or less, I'm free..
You know like Vin Di...
That was a terrible impersonation, I feel like Max
was that a pretty pretty...
Alright, nevermind we're moving forward.
Another thing that I find pretty satisfying is the fact
of when you actually get your suspension installed
or your wheels installed for the first time and you get
to see it low and ready to roll.
It's one of the coolest things.
We've always touted that like the suspension is one of
the first mods that you need to do.
Which if you didn't get it at fitmentindustries.com
just...
a little bit of a guilt trip.

But if suspension is your first modification, it's one of
the coolest things because it lowers your car and makes
it look so much different, so much better in my eyes.
We absolutely love any single car that's lowered and
it is an incredibly satisfying feeling when you get the
car lowered and then you drive it.
Things will feel so much different than when it was stock
and then if your driving and if you got a buddy that's
willing to hang out the window and take some rollers of
your car that's now lowered.
That's probably another pretty satisfying thing actually
seeing rollers of your car.
Now, if you're a photographer out there, I feel like a lot
of people have cameras these days.
A lot of people take really great photos and
aren't pros anymore.
A lot of people have I-Phones or Samsung S9 Pluses
because ya know there's a couple of us.
Ya know there's a couple of us, not everybody
has Apple, alright.
Not everybody needs an I-Phone, but people that are willing
to go out there and take pictures of your car, especially
when their doing rollers is probably one of the most
satisfying things for me.
I absolutely love taking photos.
I absolutely love taking photos of other people's cars.
When people are able to go take photos of my car when it's
rolling down the street or when we're rolling down the road
and people are just hanging out of the window to grab a few
shots, I love it.
I absolutely always re-share re-post, all that sort of stuff
because I appreciate it.
It's one of the most satisfying things when people are
willing to take pictures of my car.
It's a pretty satisfying moment for me.
And I would say this last one falls
into like a two-sectioner.
Number one, massive burnouts.
So, if you have a rear-wheel drive car and you manage
to decide that you're gonna do a burnout for the first time
and your not scared of putting a little rubber
on the rear fenders.
Good burnouts, best thing to do in a car.
Hands down, burnouts are the most fun thing to do
in your car.
Because it's the most common thing you can do in your car.
You can go to autocross events like once every other week
in the summertime.
You can go to drag strip events that if unless you really
wanna pay every single week, like once a month.
You can go to HBD events and if you're rich your probably
still are only going once every six weeks.
Burnouts, burnouts you can do like everywhere.
Now, we're not sanctioning it because our legal officers
and lawyers are going to get mad at us.
But like burnouts you can do like anywhere.
You can do 'em like at a stop light with your friend,
you can do 'em like at dead end.
You can do at old Nan's house, you can do it anywhere
and its so much fun, it's so much fun in a little
drift car and your just doing a burnout.
Your holding the front brake and then you let go and
then you just like coast away.
It's something that I enjoyed when I was 16,
it's something I enjoy now.
And I really don't think it will ever change, but that
actually goes into another thing that I absolutely adore
which is extremely difficult to do and if you watch my
last vlog where we went to the drag strip you'll know why.
It would be perfect launches.
There is nothing better than a perfect launch on your car.
So if you understand your car you know how it works.
You know if your car is actually like wants to do launch
control or if just doesn't exist and doesn't
launch in general.
But getting a perfect launch in a car is probably one of
the most satisfying feelings in the world.
Bonus points, if it's when your racing a buddy
because everybody loves it when you get a perfect launch
because then you get to rub in their faces that you beat
them and you had a good launch the same time.
Perfect launches are harder to come by and great burnouts
even harder to come by because nobody likes
to do burnouts anymore.
But at the same time if you do it in somebody's private
property, that just makes you kind of an asshole.
So just make sure you're doing it at the right places.
That would be our most satisfying car moments, car guy,
car gal.
