- This is Episode number 217 of Mike Finnegan's Garage and I'm so excited about it because not only is my new t-shirt design making me laugh my butt off, but its also live right now at www.fsmgarage.com
And you the new postal box is overflowing with letters and random gifts from you guys and girls! Every day feels like a Christmas when UPS sends me a text letting me know that the mailbox is crammed with stuff for me to open. As usual, everyone who sent me something that I opened on this video will get a cool FSM shirt or hat from me. If you want to send me something this is the address to the box:
Mike Finnegan
P.O. Box 238
3330 Cobb Pkwy
Ste 324-238
Acworth 30101
Thanks for watching and as always, thanks for the support!

Mike, love how you hit that feel good moment when you read that 12 yr kids letter stating he watches your channel with his father. I could tell the sense of pride man, you're a great dude, and an inspiration to all .
that kid made my day!
Agreed on both
@@FinnegansGarage that was pretty dang cool.
The 3D printed Blasphemi image is called a lithophane, it's just been lost in the mail by the look of it. I've printed loads of them, it's basically like a photograph printed in plastic, the thicker layers of plastic create the darks and the thinner layers let through more light, so they make up an image that you can only see when light is shone behind it.
@@Carl-wb9bz adding a comment to move it up maybe?
Do you mean printed in multi colored layers of gel-coat
@@tatertots-n-soup No out of either PLA for an FDM printer or resin for a UV cured resin printer ;)
You basically run a photo through some software that turns it into a file a 3D printer can understand. Similar to CNC machining, but in reverse.
@@TalkieToaster. Oh; Just I thought you were trying make an analogy of an image of how it is suppose to look if we could of seen it. But I get it now. Thanks
That so cool mike sold sell them on his store
Mike this is Chris Rolke, I will reprint the 3d printed picture and send it to you again(packaged better)
lol. so there was another thing in the box or was it the letter that i was supposed to see the picture on?
@@FinnegansGarage There was something in the package, I will print another one and send it to you
I really hope the guy that made the 3d print resends in and it doesn't get lost because they can look awesome.
"Notificate" is now a word in my vocabulary.... right up there with beesechurger.
Would love to be there to see Mike's face when he realises the "Jet Boat" the one guy built was not your traditional "JET" boat lol.
FRUITCAKES FOR FINNEGAN!!!
this should be a nationwide movement...🤠
I just ordered him one off amazon
Right!!!! Hilarious 😂!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't do it. ;)
Man Fin gonna be broke, everyone wants hats and shirts for the whole family for free! Send him a keychain and get $100 worth of autographed merch!
I was thinking couple stickers would do ..would sending the dogs size be too much?
I was thinking the same thing... Go bankrupt giving all that merch away
I know right? People send him a couple stickers and want free shirts and hats for the whole fam including their dogs.
I was just thinking that
Yeah, stickers for everyone, except maybe the kids who send stuff in and can get a shirt or hat
I don’t know what’s crazier, that random people are sending random stuff to Finnegan or that I just sat here and watched him open it all!
I enjoyed that more than I ever thought I would, or should!
Yeah I know right 😂
More stuff he doesn't need,but its nice that people take the time to write and send him items.The laser art is amazing. But I do take exception to those people that send letters asking Mike for free stuff.How about buying a shirt, poster and asking Mike to sign it.If these people knew what these race events,fuel, engines and transmissions,etc cost they might support Mike with a small purchase.Lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ = racing,car,truck projects
Fruitcake scented socks!! Now that's awesome! 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing says "it's time for dinner" like taking off your fruitcake-scented socks after a long day at work. Yum!
I have got to buy that for my old man.🤣🤣🤣
The Jet Boat link is worth a watch! Easily one of the least fuel efficient tooners ever.
AWSOME YOU OPENING FAN MAIL ON YOUR CHANNEL. HOPE YOU CONTINUE THIS SEGMENTS
Been watching since the roadkill days and wish I had determination to wrench on my own car in all types of terrible weather. You're an inspiration Mike, don't stop doing what you do!
Thanks for watching!
Quite a few great gifts. But those socks take the cake (pun intended).
Hey Mike, I believe a paddle in your boat is a coast guard requirement if I'm not mistaken. I know back in the day when we had a couple of our hot rod boats we always had one. Our hot rod Boats were a little different than yours. We always had a small boat with a V6 Black Max Merc hanging off the back where all the weight should be on a boat. The craziest was a 1973 Carlson CV16 with a 1980 150HP Black Max Merc hanging out back. That might not seem too impressive only 150 horsepower but we were out running plenty of jet boats in our day. 70MPH in a little low profile 16 foot boat with power trim, a chopper stainless steel prop and 6 gallons of gas was one hell of a ride. That one would try to kill you. Those kind of speeds back in the '80s and '90s over here on the East Coast was flying and we were usually one of the fastest boats on the lake.
Finnegan's Fruitcake Garage 🤣🤣🤣 Its got a nice ring to it lol
Cleetus McFarlands Freedom Fruitcake Factory
Faster with fruitcake
David Fruitburger
...theres room for allot of alt accounts.
Finnigans fruitcakes
There really is lmao
Finn you're a real dude. The genuine appreciation you have for your fans shines through!!
Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
You mention it, and somebody will send it. 🤣
Just proof we all love and appreciate Mr. Finnegan! You rock my man! Love all you do!!!!
I am buddies with Doug Verstuyft's nephew! When were in elementary school, he would always wear drag boat shirts and I could never remember the name of it until now. He said he still has a diecast model of his boat still. That's too cool. TX for the win!!
4:34 oh man, that was comedic genius.
Man, I have to say, I enjoyed this, The sharing of your mail on camera and seeing the thoughtfulness of what folks sent was pretty darn cool, I appreciate you sharing with us.
Christmas morning is writing itself at the finnegan household, mike with his log of fruit cake and his dog Bo trying to eat the fruit cake scented socks he’s wearing while wifey is all hopped up on fan brewed coffee!!
Mike you need to check out the jet boat build from that guy with the QR code, you will be really surprised, it is not what you think. I have come across his videos before it is a crazy build!
For sure, did not expect that kind of jet!
Its my first jet boat build. Am I doing it right? It's technically a jet boat. 😆 Mike saw it the other day and left a nice comment.
Hey Mike, u gotta check out that guy's "jet boat" build that sent u the sign! Its an actual jet turbine in a pontoon boat!
Mike I like the fact that you are giving back to the people ,who sent you stuff .
But send them something that is not going to break your bank but will still make their day 🙂
Back in the 80's my mother sent my wife one of her famous (infamous) "Pork cakes", yes pork, made with pork suite, I.E. fat. According to Mom it is a Welch Delicacy and their version of a fruit cake. As far as I know, Mom was the only one in the family that liked it. Anyway, this one got lost in the mail for some months and was thoroughly petrified when we received it. As a joke, I regifted it to my sister the following Christmas, after using it for a door stop. This continued for some years, going back and forth between my sister and I, till my wife got disgusted with it all and threw it away. I hereby promise to never send you a fruitcake. Welch or otherwise. Thanks for giving us good stuff to watch young man. Grooveyness Abounds!
The big box before the boat got cut off just curious what it was definitely getting some cool gifts an awesome see the 12 year old sending something in 👍🏻👍🏻 an really good to start seeing everybody on CZcams come together to try to help keep the stuff alive 👍🏻👍🏻
Really cool that you done a video of unpacking everybody’s packages they sent, keep up the good work.
You’re going to LOVE that Tortuga Rum Cake. Ate them fresh in Bahamas. They just get better with a little age, too.
Perfect timing for the plaque of Game Over. It's a remembrance token. Well played Jeremy 🤘😎
This was an amazing video! To me it’s a demonstration of how much Mike Finnegan is known and loved!
I know I really enjoy whatever I get to watch Mike do! I will miss 12 Volt Dave in the garage, but Mike, you git this!!
Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe Mike and family!!
Fruit cake socks crack my ass up!😂😂😂😂
Good watch! So cool to see the reactions to what you find in the packages. The socks were a surprise - and then some. Good times.
Great segment, keep it going, love seeing some of the interesting stuff people send in.
I have several interests\hobbies that I enjoy. Cars being at the top. I watch a lot of YT channels pertaining to all of them. It's tough finding quality content with quality presenters that are worth subscribing to. Your channel is by far at the top of the list for car related content...and there's endless competition in that category. Thanks for just being real and gracing us, young and old, with quality content. 👏
i want a die cast of the roadkill ramptruck!
Don't worry Finn, make these vids as long as you can mate, we're all going to watch till the end. Funny and ❤️ warming. Cheers mate
im not even gonna lie, you could post a video ab repairing a refrigerator and id watch it to the end the second i got the notification. love the channel and all the content, your a real inspiration to me man
thank you very much!
I throughly enjoyed your excitement watching you open packages for some reason. Keep up the great work 🍻
Fin just show's you how much we people truly appreciate your blog's and your content 👍🤘 Aussie Fan 💪🇦🇺🆒
I love these episodes it’s like Christmas for all of us 😂
It's fun wstching you open your mail!
Some cool swag from the fans. Cool to see and well deserved.
That is THE GREATEST SHIRT EVER. Hell yeah brother!! Keep on keeping on.
Fun to watch.
Man what a great episode. watching you open and enjoy it is just like watching a little kid at Christmas. but yes you've created a monster!! FRUITCAKES FOR Days!!🤣🤣🤣
Mike great video! Like everyone says your content is amazing! Keep the video’s coming and enjoy life to the fullest! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Another awesome video. And today when I got from the road I actually got the Winnebago 454 running it idles roughly so I hope the Holly 4 barrel is easy to rebuild. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
My Nana Croll actually used to make her own fruitcake and it was amazing. She didn't put any nuts in because of her allergy but it had all kinds of fruits in it that made it so delicious. Definitely better than any kind of store bought stuff. So that recipe always has a special place in my heart around Christmas time.
My grand aunt made fruit cakes and best of all JAM cakes. They would takes several different homemade jams and then you soaked it in like a fifth of rum for a month. It would take forever to eat since you could not handle more than a thin slice. But they were fantastic. Forty years later I can still taste it. I have her recipe, but it wouldn’t be the same without all the homemade jams (blueberry, peach, pear and a couple of others) and a ton of her love. Miss her greatly.
Great video Mike. The Tortuga rum cakes are really good.
Would be fun to see Mrs Finnegan do the unboxing with you just for reactions 😂
Lots of good people out there!
Super generous Mike Finnigan giving back to your fans! 👍
Well, you had to know fruitcake was coming.
The new boat looks great and the headers look sick!
i don't know why but get excited watching you you open boxes lol 😂 😂
You are truly a CLASS ACT.
V drive guys call that little paddle "REVERSE"!
This was awesome! I mean you kinda set yourself up for the assortments of fruit cake flavors but at least nothing jumped out of a box at yeah!
How many other dummies held their phones up to the TV like reading that QR code was gonna happen! Haha I sure did! 3 different times!
I'm glad someone sent you a dvd of 2 Lane Blacktop, I was going to order one and forgot and this just reminded me. 2 Lane Blacktop blueray dvd will be here tomorrow!
You have created a monster. And i love it. Glad you enjoy it like christmas
I love the package opening!👍🇨🇱
Those rum cakes are the bomb!
eating that log of fruit cake like a candy bar 😂
What do you do? Slice it at an angle slather on a 4x thick slab of margarine. Then heavenly dust it with a heaping spoon of powdered sugar?
For anyone that doesn't have a phone handy, the YT channel is Live & Learn. I won't spoil the boat... but just looked it up and definitely worth checking out.
It's technically a jet boat...
I love watching you on roadkill and I love your CZcams videos!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoy your builds and videos
I can't believe I'm watching a video of a guy opening mail! But I'm enjoying it!
Love good fruitcake that is warmed and a rum sauce is poured over it. I don’t drink and the alcohol is usually burned off but it definitely adds to the flavour of a good fruitcake. 👍👍🇨🇦
Your laugh cracks me up!
Mike, as an international viewer. Sending you stuff from Amazon or similar is way cheaper than the weeks it takes for posting.
That rum cake is the bomb!
Mike, those paddles are really cool. You might check out their build videos. It’s real craftsmanship.
Up The Creek from 1984 with Tim Matheson is one of my favorite movies of all times😀
Watching from sweden, this could get legendary with all the fruitcake and packages. Keep up the good work!
I knew you were kind of my spirit animal when you said "I don't drink coffee". Now there are two of us in the United States. You are no longer the only one mister. Lmao... Thanks for over a decade of entertainment. I appreciate you.
I don't even like to walk down the coffee aisle in the grocery store.
@@lunkydog looks like we are going to have to start a new group. Lol
I'm 68 and never had coffee
@@IEchuckie I have bought 2 cups of coffee in 64 yrs and verified I didn't like coffee with the first, which I barely sipped and the 2nd was to have something to keep my hands warm at a cold sporting event!
@@lunkydog I tried it when I was young and by the time I got the 3 or 4 creams and sugars in it to make it tolerable I felt I had defeated the purpose and created something different. Lol
You never eat a fruitcake, you re-gift to someone else. Some fruitcakes have been out there years.
we have family tradition to regift the same 20+ year old fruitcake. it's a brick now, you could beat someone to death with it but it's my sister's time to get it
Mr. B . Here ! That’s love Fruitcake is not atop of my list you love the fan that sent a cake ! Mr. Finnegan enjoy your cake ! Hope you and Dave do something together , have a good day with your cake LOL !
I've been told fruit cake also makes really good polishing compound!
Thanks for posting the awesome car contact. That’s pretty much the only thing besides music that I watch on CZcams. Going to be sending you something special it’s been in my closet for a while but I know you’ll appreciate. Just have to figure out how to safely packet first. Thanks again for the video.
After apocalypse only cockroaches and fruitcake will survive.
You make some killer content! Keep up the great work.
You did name the boat apropriat Game Over, parting with the boat simply says, It Is GAME OVER time...
Finnegan and the Fruitcakes could be a potential band name 😂
Boogie Man has a CZcams channel where you can follow his build progress. Looks like he's already come a long ways and should be ready by the time February rolls around.
Mentioning this in case there are any other gasser fans out there. Not affiliated, just throwing out a PSA.
this videos are fun to watch, even if nothing gets done
Fruitcakes are the bomb! Love your content over here in Cherokee county.
Well...We KNEW this would happen! I'm'a' watch the video now....
Those Rum Cakes are the bomb!
Hey Mike
We want to see you open more stuff. It’s like watching the kids open their gifts at Christmas!
Keep up the great content.
You'll love the Tortuga rum cakes! My son sent me one from a trip to Jamaica. It's not a fruitcake!!!
Next year in August you should come to Marble falls Tx for the DRAG BOAT RACES, and I'll take ya out wheeling at our "run what ya brung" off-road park. About an hr outside Austin. Started watching you and Friebuger on ROADKILL from the get go. Hope ya come. Be safe brother!
Awesome episode
MIKE you need to go look at the “jet boat” video. From the person that mailed you and you showed the QR code. Just go watch it. 😂
Merry Christmas
you have great fans for sure they send good thing to you and well targeted !
Alright so you're the mystery driver with Jack Stand Jimmy! Sweet!
start tradition of sending fruitcake to the roadkill team. Frieburger would love it. or send it to Foose 😅
