For many of you who have been eagerly waiting, here it is - the video you've been asking for over the past year. It's hard to believe, but it's been a whopping 15 years since I first became the proud owner of this car. Reflecting on it now, that's practically half of my life!
Join me as I take you on a journey through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, that I've experienced with this trusty vehicle by my side. Too often, I've heard people lamenting, "I wish I had held onto that car..." Well, I made a vow to myself not to become one of them, and boy, have I stuck to it.
But let me tell you, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. I've faced my fair share of obstacles and tough times, yet through it all, my car has remained a constant companion. It's seen me through the best and worst moments of my life, and for that, I'm forever grateful.
So buckle up and join me as I reminisce on 15 years of memories, adventures, and the undeniable bond between a person and their car. Trust me, it's a journey you won't want to miss.

It's ironic the cars that we both share a history of owning. I had a CRX, a lot of Z's and have owned my 95 300ZX too for 15 years. They are timeless classics.
That's cool! I like to think that there's some wavelength/frequency of people who think alike that own certain cars 😅
@@Billy_Built agreed!!
I’ve loved the Z32 ever since I sat in one in the NY auto show in the early 90’s. I bought a ‘94 in ‘98 and have had it ever since.
That's incredible!
Man, I honestly think that inducing the slide in the CRX saved your life. Great story Billy, can't wait to see more content!
Definitely helped out with the impact! Thank you!
The Man, The Myth, The Legend...
Well Done, Billy.
Congratulations on all of it.
I'm only coming up to 2 years of ownership of my Z32 this June, and this is inspiring. I hope I can make my own 15-years recap one day. Congrats!
That would be awesome! Thank you!
Great video. I took the late 80s/early 90s CRXs (and other Hondas) for granted when I used to see them everyday. They have become a rarity.
You're not the only one! They were everywhere one day and everyone hated them, and the next thing you know EG hatches and CRX's are a scarcity and everyone is k-swapping everything!
Thanks for sharing Billy. And yes I had similar problems learning as I went with my z build 14 yrs ago. All the content for the beginners now a days is awesome! Sharing knowledge saves others from making the same mistakes. Maybe you should start a thread where others can share their hard learned lessons. I did a lot of leading so I have some tips to share.
Keep it up!
great story and very inspiring. building the Z is very overwhelming and i have yet to start but watching your videos help give me some direction thank you and i hope to see many more.
Love the story bro, keep em coming bud. Exciting build.
Great job on the video. The cars are important, but the stories, friendships, experiences and the journey is what matters most. Im sure most of us who watched the video reflected on our own experiences as you related yours, thank you for sharing Billy. Keep up the good work, and dont be afaid to share the journey, mechanical content is great but isnt the only valuable part. Great job on the merch I will be ordering soon!!
For sure! Thanks Dan!
Hey Billy , I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and amazed at your passion bro ! I’m 34 and rmeber when I was a teen and a neighbor had a 300zx turbo just sitting there and I rmeber I left a note in their mailbox to let me buy it ( I had NO money lol😅) but was so in love with the body lines and this was the fast and furious era! I just bought a widebody scat pack charger but will buy my two dream cars next ! 03 cobra and 300zx . You brought the passion back for this car! I also had a mod list for my dream cars ! lol much respect and love brother ! From Texas !
We're just a year apart! I totally get it! Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy to motivate so many through these videos! It keeps myself motivated as well.
Thanks for sharing Billy! I bought my Z in april 2010 too, just a few days later!😂 Greetings from Dominican Republic!
That's awesome! That was the best time to get one ! Lol
Great story, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video kinda going thru it with my z 😢, thanks to this video I have faith 🙏
Got my Z in 2019, I was 20 lol and didn’t know anything but I was an autobody apprentice at the time and thought it’d be a great project. It’s 2+2 TT RHD Manual. Love my z32 so much
Hell ya! Unfortunately the best way to learn is to throw yourself into it lol
@@Billy_Built oh yeah 100% people use to tell me I was too young to own a car like that but that only motivated me more
Yoooo Billy posted 😎
I forgot we tore down that engine at my work hahaha. Good times. And the late nights at your work.
Yeah dude, I had fun finding all these photos LoL found a few good videos goofing off at the house too
Inspiration to every Z owner
@@gilbertogutierrez1144 🙏
Hooray🎉💪
Billy, i commented on the wrong video of car i was wondering if you could have a current engine bay setup with your standalone ecu or at least a short on it. You replied to my last comment about your new supra.
Glad you went Z instead of Eclipse. Wouldn't watch an Eclipse video as eagerly😂
😅😅

Beat me to my own video.
