    James is the definition of pure dedication, he worked everyday just to get few views, even know where he has 14 supercars/hypercars he never flexed about it or wear fancy clothes or Rolex, James is just a simple classy hard working man and I have so much respect for him all I can say to both of you guys is hats off to ya, being humble and working hard will get you far in life and you both have proven this and that’s why you guys grew so much. Keep it up yall I have a lot of respect for you guys!

    • @stealthhtm23
      @stealthhtm23 Před 5 měsíci +3

      exactly. we all know that one CZcamsr that was on top of the game, started flexing, abused drugs and alcohol, said/did horrible things for everyone to see, and his followers abandoned him because of it. used to have millions of views, now cant even hit 10,000 views a video. so kids, stay humble, don't do drugs, and you will make it in life!

      @@ian-gj8mc Parker @ Vehicle Virgins. 2.3M subs and he has 3 videos in the last two weeks, all under 10K views. I don't follow YT drama much, but he came off as a rich kid spending money he didn't earn, still got some fame/views/subs, but then seems to have had a period where he was on something, drugs, alcohol, who knows. Plus there seems to be a lot of people who talk bad about Parker in terms of his attitude and such.

      @thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Im sorry but the "he never flexed about it or wear fancy clothes or rolex" just doesn't make sense when he's sitting in his multi-million dollar house, surrounded by luxury cars with his previous video being about moving out of state and buying a new property.
      Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but he isn't the next Warren Buffet thats lived in the same house since the 60s and drives a shitty old car. He lives a life of pure luxury, just because he doesn't waste money on designer clothes and doesn't like watches doesn't mean he isn't flexing that wealth to the max. He's just very humble about it, talking more about the costs and how it was done rather then bragging.
      He's just a good guy with a lot of money, not an asshole with a lot of money. Huge differences in persona and obviously a lot more likeable, but not wearing gucci or a rolex doesn't take away from the fact that almost his entire channel is based around wealth (expensive cars, nice homes etc)

    • @chrislira6680
      @chrislira6680 Před 5 měsíci +4

      ⁠@@thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704he’s quite literally spoke skit that in the video but he’s not living pure luxury. All he really shows are his cars. His house is average. That’s an average house in a decent neighborhood. He doesn’t flex money, clothes, jewelry. He’s not some rich guy. His whole channel is about cars. So of course he’s gonna buy cars, sell cars, get multiple properties. But that’s literally his life as a business owner and CZcamsr. He makes money showing the nice cars that people want, nice house that he definitely deserves from all his work. Stop being so miserable

      Watch his earlier videos, when he was mellow people were tuning out. He was just another car vlogger. When he started allowing the little kid enthusiasm in his videos out, he views increased accordingly. There are a lot of great car creators out there content and production wise that are so mellow I scroll to the fun parts and then click off.

I recently sold my C8 after a year, loved it and I can say Stardman you were a huge part of my motivation to pull the trigger. I plan on buying a used Lambo or Mclaren in a couple more years to enjoy a true exotic in my retirement. Hope to meet you guys if you ever come to Dallas. Keep Grinding Men it is appreciated!

      So you'd rather a boring chill person to watch than a person that is loud an energetic I feel like if he wasn't the way he is on his channel he wouldn't have as much success as he has now but besides there are probably most likely little kids that watch him so he wants to be fun and exciting

      James is a control freak and he thinks he needs to be over the top with everything he does. Just like He could've had Luke Terry film while he drove or Sophia film when she is with him but he won't give up that control

    You two are some of my favorite youtubers. I love the cars, the passion, and the personality that you bring to the car community. I lost my dad in 2017 as well and I remember telling him in the 90's that we could have a Lamborghini Countach for around $85,000 or a Lamborghini Jalpa for $25,000. Maybe someday I will get to drive or own one but I will forever have those memories of that and of him taking me to car shows as a kid because he knew that was my passion. Keep up the great work and content.

I remember being 16 yrs old at my first job as a porter at a car dealership learning to drive stick on my bosses 88 BMW M5, it was AWESOME. I got to drive 90's 8 series, 635 CSI, AC Cobra Replica, 90s Mazda RX-7s and 67 Corvette Stingray convertible. Then when I moved to California and got a sales job found out Carroll Shelby was my customer and got a walk through of his collection in the city of _ _ _ _. I've always loved cars and appreciate you guys sharing your passion.

    I've been watching and subscribed to James's main channel since it was only around 46K subs, and I totally love this less hyper version of him. His energy is great on his videos, but I've always thought after the intros he could tone it down a few notches. Either way, I'll keep watching him live his dream, and appreciate seeing him enjoy the things I'll never get to own.

    My young kids LOVE cars and Strad is one of few CZcamsrs I’ll let them watch, just because his enthusiasm is infectious and I can always trust it’ll be family-friendly.
