    • @leograndthio5074

    Car is not only a machine. Its almost like a living life for us who loves cars. Maybe more like a friend to some people. Car can help people go through hard and sad things. And also can have a lot of fun and good memories. I understand what I’m saying can be insane and crazy but I at least like to think and respect the fact it saved someones life including me in a way. And I hope you guys can relate too.
    Edit: Wow, I never thought a such a comment would get this much attention! Thanks to you all and I hope you have a good day.

      Totally agree with you Hiiro Seino. My first bmw saved my life and getting into mechanics; how cars and trucks work. Driving in general; whether that's performance driving, daily commutes, or steering an 18-wheeler. I'm glad and appreciative that this gentleman shared his story with the fight with cancer and what a great mentality. I miss my lovely close family friend who didn't make it. Give anything a fighting chance.

      +Bhong666 I'm a fan of most cars, I do have my favorites like everyone, but as long as you put the time and money into your car, I don't care if it's a Micra or a Impreza, you've earned my respect. Being into cars isn't about buying a stock Impreza and gloating about it, it's buying any car and making it your own, bonding with it, having memories in it. In some ways cars are like people, you find the ones you like and stay around them, spend money and time on them, bond with them.. That's just my 16 year old view on it. PS. But if you dare spend money modifying a Prius for looks and not dropping a proper engine into it, don't ever talk to me.

      +ryanbhoy88 well said its not the specific car, its what you make of the car and who you do it with. Hell I had a grand am that had a torque converter blow out to the point i had metal shavings in my transmission pan, I had the oil sending switch blow out causing me to lose all my oil while driving down the highway and collapsing every lifter in the engine, I had ignition control modules go and leave me limping home on two or three cylinders while the car bogged it way down the road, I've had the intake manifold gasket leak and send coolant into my cylinder heads nearly wiping the motor, and also leaked on my crank position sensor burning it out and causing two engine bay fires, but you know what I loved it and never had more fun in a car.

Just shows that every one around a patient is affected but ofc the patient is affected the most. Good on you for making it through such a tough time

      I don't have cancer, hopefully I never will, But my best mate did and he lost a good few years age 16-20 and again age 22-24. He's all clear now.
      I remember when he first got cancer, A mutual mate came and told me at work and I just cried, honestly, we both cried. Like a little bitches. Cried and cried. Calmed down. Got in the car, went to see him.
      I gave him a 20p pack of paracetamol. I crossed out paracetamol and wrote cancer cure. It warms my heart that he keeps that on his desk at all times. Something worth 20p meant the world to him. And knowing it had that effect. Means the world to me. He still has it to this day. Love you brother.

They go what's the point of making a car fast you never get to use it, but not only statement false. To just take it around the country bring around your make them crack a smile even to the sound of the engine, petrol engines will never properly go away because of car guys, all your city cars will be electric but they don't give you joy anyway so who gives a shit. Petrol will never disappear and Diesel for that matter, there some huge Jeep lovers (not the company jeep, jeep is another name for SUVs but I don't like SUV because of crossovers) my father has this old Nissan Patrol 1988 I think maybe 89 he has nothing for it except a chassis the body which missing all the doors and the best engine ever created in his mind unkillable, the 4.2. He loves telling stories about it and you see the joy in him and it's nice to see. My cousin had a Skyline r32 and he totalled it, un fixable earn a bit of money for scrapping it and selling the engine or buy another and engine swap, he still has the car though because it became part of him he adored it

    • @evand3514
      @evand3514 Před 9 lety +9

      +George Wilkins All of those cars look exactly the same as the car on the assembly line next to it. This evo is a physical manifestation of the owners personality and is unique and beautiful because of that. Not because its made in limited number, outrageously expensive, or an antique.

    • @sammoon2906
      @sammoon2906 Před 9 lety +1

      +Evan D
      No Ferrari 250 GTO is exactly like the next one, they were hand built, and each is unique, from the factory. Same with the Miura, and MB 300sl gullwing.
      This car looks very similar to every other Evo I've ever seen; CF hood with obligatory vents, giant wing, huge turbo, a raspy exhaust, and spindley wheels with excessive negative camber.
      Yes, this guy did a good job building his car, but it's certainly not more impressive than a 250 GTO, and in no way is this car more unique. In the US, an Evo is not really hard to afford, and those aftermarket wings and hoods are everywhere, so this car isn't at all unique in Colorado, whereas a 250 GTO is unique everywhere. In all likelihood, you've seen a similar Evo in person, but never even seen a replica of a 250 GTO.
      I understand what you're saying about the car being more personalized, but how much on this car is a one-off, made for the car? Because, I have to say, only custom fabricated parts will set this Evo apart from any other.

    • @RatchetGamingNation
      @RatchetGamingNation Před 9 lety +3

      +Sam Moon While logically you're correct, I still agree with Evan D. The parts may be easily acquired, as may the car itself. This man's heart and soul was poured into this car while he was dying, only to survive his illness in the end. Unless every craftsman on a 250 GTO was on their death bed and pouring their heart and soul into said GTO, your statement is false.
      While the actual Ferrari may be much more of a rare car, how many Evo's have this story? What you're failing to see is that it's not about the car, it's about the story.
      To clarify, by no means am I trying to sound offensive to you or assaulting you, only pointing out what I believe and what my interpretations of Evan D's comment was. Not everything's a debate :)

    • @sammoon2906
      @sammoon2906 Před 9 lety

      Ratchet L. That's the thing, the man's 'heart and soul' were poured into the car, meaning that was his personal coping mechanism to deal with illness. Since I actually have personal experience with how much cancer treatment costs, it's remarkable this man was able to afford the parts in the first place.
      While I accept you are just agreeing with Evan, I've only stated my opinion about this car, as well as facts about hand built cars.
      I'm sorry, nothing about this Evo, or the owner's story is exceptional to me. Many people have, or beat cancer. My coping mechanism was my dog, because I didn't have the money to pay for treatment and build a car. So, no, nothing I said was false, as my dog having saved my live doesn't automatically make her better than any other dog, especially as MANY dogs are used as therapy animals, so again, there is nothing exceptional about my dog, she's just mine.
      That being said, I can then move on to my impressions of the car itself, and I find it boringly similar to too many other cars I see daily. As a custom car ALWAYS has a story, there are a lot of cars built as coping mechanisms for tragedy, the next Mk4 Supra you see may very well be a tribute car, we are then allowed to give our opinion/impression of the car itself, and I apologize, but this Evo is pretty much identical to a lot of the Evos in Denver. I appreciate the story, but I don't find the car nearly as impressive as a Ferrari 250 GTO. To that end, please look up the 250 GTO yourself, it WAS a labor of love for the craftsmen who built them, as it was for Enzo himself.

The amount of time you spend on customizing your car, making it your own, feeling every aspect, every edge, every detail of your car, that is the thing that makes you fall in love with it. In case you were wondering"how, even without a car", the credits go to video games, especially NFS series.

    This is why I love cars to some people they just be machines that can get people from A to B. But, to me it shows passion and beauty to be able to overcome near impossible odds by just focusing on something you love. Respect my man I hope you live a long and prosperous life.

    Shit man. I was diagnosed with a Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma when I was thirteen. Been through a lot of shit as well so I can relate to this guy. Over five years with no relapse of the cancer so I'm quite grateful for that.

    I can't imagine what he's been through. All I can say, is that I am happy for him, the friends he had, the focus he had, the support he got.
    I mean, wow, thanks to all of them for helping him.
    Whether it's fysical or mental, you need that kind of support when you need it.
    A great story, hope he's still fairing well

    This car is perfect from the build to it's story, and this mate has my respect for dealing with cancer with strenght and humour while working on his dream build, and the guys who helped him out with the car are real friends. He is very lucky not only for escaping from something like cancer but for the people around him and that lit Evo too.
