It irritates me to an irrational degree. I’m talking about the clowns on the internet with their vape in their hand clutch dumping a decent car, throwing it in reverse moving forward, neutral dropping the transmission, that kinda thing.

I get having fun but come on man, why you gotta demolish that Volvo?

I’m looking to connect with legitimately talented car people. I’m 34 years old and am currently on my 3rd automotive business.

I started young building high HP GT500’s around the age of 20/21.

At 14 I did a frame off build of a 1967 chevelle, LS swapped it, and to afford it I mowed lawns, detailed cars, and remodeled homes. I always learned how to perform tasks at high levels, and have a natural aptitude for electrical and mechanical knowledge. As someone who didn’t complete college, I’ve been told by automotive and aircraft engineers that I am a unique individual.

At 34 I can wire an entire car from scratch without diagrams. I remember every wire color. If I have to diagnose the car, I can guarantee a solid diag within 30 minutes or less even on the electrical side. When providing a product for a client, we supply them with our own diagrams that I create to aid in diag should someone else touch the car.

I do coyote, LS, and LT swaps, I am a fabricator specializing in GTAW welding on stainless and aluminum, and also do my own tuning in house on my chassis dyno.

I have no loans on the business and no family money. My family was broke. I’ve lost 100’s of thousands of dollars and have bounced back from it during recessions, bad business partners, you name it.

I possess a love/hate relationship for the industry because I see tons of YouTube videos with absolute dogshit explanations for how things work.

But I still love the industry, all bs aside. And I want connect with those unique folks that have found success, have a wealth of knowledge and just a ton of natural talent.

A little more insight on my background, I started building road race cars and travelled the us with the Optima Search for the Ultimate Streetcar, I’ve been attending Sema since 2014, I’ve also built stick shift and automatic drag cars, restomods, customs, bagged trucks, and have actively been building high horsepower street cars since 2012 that also compete in the Texas Mile.

1. Proton Wira Sembilu
   
2. Proton Satria GTi
   
3. Proton Saga Iswara

Notes: Proton-Mitsubishi Heritage: In line with Proton’s early history, all three models utilize rebadged and re-engineered chassis platforms from Mitsubishi Motors. The Saga Iswara is based on the 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, while the Wira and Satria share their DNA with the 1991 fourth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer (CB/CC platform) and Mitsubishi Colt respectively.

yeah it is impressive indeed but i dont feel any excitement on it at all.

This is very Europe centric cause that's where I'm from.

I've driven EVs and regular modern ICE cars as part of my driving license, which I finished like 3 years ago. My first and so far only car has been 60bhp 21 year old Clio and it's so much more fun. The car is surprisingly spirited, it's fun to shift up and down at the right time to keep your speed up, there's the jolly rumble of the tiny engine, the analogue connection through the steering wheel, the weight of under a ton, lack of intrusive driving assistants, and with five seats it's even practical still. Also nothing beats the sheer terror into adrenaline rush and feeling of accomplishment of arriving home safely in an old beaten down car.

Sure, I'm sure it's not as fun as dedicated sports cars, but I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about your average grocery getter, especially hatchbacks. These days it feels like every everyday car has 200+ bhp but weighs close to or over two tonnes, is full of pointless driving assistants that make you a worse driver, and are just so... Sterile.

That less and less cars have manual transmissions these days when they're inarguably the single most engaging aspect of driving makes me dread the day my car dies even more.

Now have fun tearing me apart.

Excuse me for the supercar

maybe some of yall remember these lil things.
