    Rob, I haven't always been your biggest fan because you sometimes seem more focused on how you'll be perceived than on the build. This video - especially just after the burnout - is pure, emotional, real, and the exact opposite of that. Congratulations on this build, and massive respect for having the self-confidence to be vulnerable in public. Thank you for sharing your joy and overwhelm with us. That experience - that fear leading up to the thing, that adrenaline rush of doing it, and that massive fucking dopamine hit afterwards - is why we build interesting cars, and it's why we like to watch other people do it. Nice work. You earned every bit of that joy and adrenaline. This is an amazing car. You and your crew have done an amazing thing.

In any case after 65 your Thymus stops working and you have no more T-cells to fight off infection. So how does a Yogi live to be 300? Hemp seeds and Tea. The hemp seeds feed your body and introduce nothing else in the way of contaminates and Hemp seeds are the only complete source of human nutrition. The tea introduces pytochemicals that take place of your failing Thymus and lacking T-cells. You could eat Cannabis buds too to get the Phytochemicals.

    Kudos to you, Rob! I know you've been at this for a long time so I went back to check out some of your older videos. Just over 10 years ago you posted 'Help me make the best automotive CZcams channel
    '. Your videos about RX-7's don't seem so 'internet dorky' now, huh?! Such an inspiration to see you keep doing what you love and the passion involved. Thank you!

    Man if it survived that, it is SOLID. You were on sticky-ass, rubber coated concrete with wide, sticky tires and AWD. And it handled a 7,000rpm (probably 600-700awhp) clutch drop like a boss. Well done on making an amazing car. I’ve never built anything as ambitious as your RX-7, but I’ve built a lot of things in my life. Days like this, when it all comes together and works as intended are priceless. Congratulations!
