    This car rose out of the ashes like a rusty phoenix turd! I still remember it plastered everywhere on social media. I'm sure I speak for everyone that we'd love a dedicated video about Rusty Slammington!

    • @chriserz94
      @chriserz94 Před 2 lety

      Bawz, gtfo! You're my favourite WT youtuber and a fan of Rusty Slammington and Mike?! Small world! :)
      I agree this car deserves a video on it's own!
      I have a mostly original 85' Canadian 635CSi/5 that wears it's patina'd Alpin Weiss paint proudly because of Rusty!

    • @jayzcz4742
      @jayzcz4742 Před 2 lety

      Hey Bawz! I’m your big fan of yours and also happy that you like SW/Mike too. Kinda suprised that i have been on both channels from the start! Love the vids btw.

    Big yes for the Rusty only episode, seen rusty in Essen motorshow, and saw the model A cruising in belgium plenty of times

      Walks down memory lane make me sick... it screams im washed up and my glory days are behind me. My vote is not to waste your time on this... look only into the future and focus all your enegy into making progress and perfecting your present.

  • @adrianleblanc3389
    @adrianleblanc3389 Před 2 lety +35

    Literally the car that started my interest in bmws on Stanceworks, this is amazing. I remember how heartbroken I was to hear about the fire, glad to see the history all over again!

    • @chir0pter
      @chir0pter Před 2 lety +1

      Same, last I recall was it burned down..I had no idea he rebuilt it in such epic fashion

  • @imSchwaggy
    @imSchwaggy Před 2 lety +27

    buying an e28 as a daily while you s54 swapped your e36 in HIGHSCHOOL is crazy. goals to have my kids live a life like that, respect to your parents (and you for the passion).
    ~ this is sincere btw, i know people say things like this sarcastically but i really mean it.

  • @intelon3
    @intelon3 Před 2 lety +22

    Definitely would love an episode all about Rusty. I still remember reading your road trip diaries on Stanceworks with this car which is what helped get me into cars in the first place. Then I remember flipping out when I saw that it was resurrected in its current form. If the devil was a car, it would definitely be this one

    My greatest compliments

  • @-MacCat-
    @-MacCat- Před 2 lety

    I'm voting for the extended version of "Rusty". I don't think just one episode would do that much car, and it's full history, justice.

  • @samdoesdrifting
    @samdoesdrifting Před 2 lety

    There were a lot of people who followed rusty slammington and weren't aware of the community because back then the social community wasn't a big thing. I was one of them and closely followed rusty slammington's transformation. I never had the taste for slammed cars but something about rusty made me feel different in a good way. I followed each build upto the point where it got burned and tbh i am not going to lie but i was in tears. After many years of no update of the car i simply went to follow other car builds until rusty slammington news came in that its going to be something out of this world. And my lord i was out of words to describe what he created and simply cried all over again feeling relieved and happy to see my favourite build up on the website (yes i was poor and only could read on websites and wasnt aware of CZcams). I wish to see the full story of rusty slammington please. It would really bless my soul of how it all started and what it has became in details.

  • @jimmyprater7546
    @jimmyprater7546 Před rokem

    I like how you were able to turn the fire disaster into an ultimate build. My passion for BMW started when I saw an old school 02’ racing in a Nashville Tennessee mini stock race. Was stationed in Germany and brought back a wide bodied 02 that I had built. Presently building a 1973, the last of the roundies. Love you show!!

    @jonny.rollhard Před 2 lety

    Seeing some of those really old photos of Rusty, when he was still black brings back so many good memories of the forums. The news of the fire was a horrible one, but what came from the ashes took Rusty and you to the next level.

  • @DabKnowledge

  • @kalinkanev2373
    @kalinkanev2373 Před 2 lety +2

    As a fan for over 10 years,starting from the SW forum , i would say i love everyone of your cars, but Rusty is more than a car. Its more than a living legend. Rusty marked a whole generation of car tuning that we are currently living. Every car enthusiast on this planet knows this car (maybe they just didnt know it was yours) and if thats not the definition of GOAT i dont know what is.

  • @houstonbrown385
    @houstonbrown385 Před 2 lety

  • @redmaxor

    Please do carry on talking about Rusty! So funny that I had almost all of these cars as wallpaper on my computer back in the days without knowing it was the same guy that built them! Keep up the good work!

  • @bennybaldwin2627
    @bennybaldwin2627 Před 2 lety

    I had to do some digging.. I joined VWVortex in August of 2001. As an MK3 guy, there are a couple other cars I remember making noise.. Powerhouse Mike's S13 build was so clean.. and then Rusty. I feel like the entire automotive community followed his life. I can still remember seeing the posts after the fire. It was heart breaking. What is cool about this video is that is adds some details I may have not known or forgotten.. a VAC motorsports built motor? I'm sure it was ballsy. Thanks for the update, and continued content.

  • @michalsoltisik3706

  •  Před 2 lety +53

    I remember when you called me while the garage was burning. Was so relieved that everyone was ok. It truly sparked a new phase of your life with cars. A look back always feels good when you can draw upon such fantastic examples of personal success. So happy about your present and couldn't be more excited for your future. We are all so thankful and excited to spend the 20 minutes a week with you watching these ideas you have come to life.

    Rusty is the car that I always think of when reminiscing about the Nashville car scene back in early 2010s. My most viewed photos from those meets. Would love more videos on it

  • @Logankampa
    @Logankampa Před 2 lety

    I remember seeing pictures of Rusty when I was a junior in high school and getting into cars, and especially e30s and e28s. It was my hero car, and I loved every single second of it. When it burned to the ground and turned into a literal race car, it was like seeing a nightmare scenario turning into perfection. I’ll always have a place in my heart for that car, and I’m so glad you had the dedication and perseverance that all of us wish we had.

    My favourite episode, I've been waiting like 10 years to see the full story, I think it's been 7 years since I saw the car in person at SEMA. I believe this one ranks as one of the coolest BMW's every modified

  • @KingJerbear
    @KingJerbear Před 2 lety

    Brings me back, I remember reading the saga of this car on R3v and BFc from the very start. I even remember when you first got the chassis because I had been following your E36 build at that point. When it first started R3v was pretty "purist" with lots of OEM+ cars, so yours stuck out like a sore thumb. Nice to see a timeline of everything compressed, and great to know that it has an S38 powering it nowadays. Thanks for sharing

    @plmarshall30 Před 2 lety +2

    Those cars are amazing. I can only imagine when you think of how you used to do things and how you do them now with more knowledge and tools, you must smile a bit. I realize how many hours go into editing and I am sure that has become so much more refined too. I will say it again, I really enjoy your honest approach and transparency.

    @Classy_Chris Před 2 lety

    Rusty inspired me when I was in high school. I used to surf through all the forums and see it pop up. Definitely demanded attention. I help you one year at SoWo to remove the hood off of it. It was when it was running the 3 piece AC Schnitzers. Then I remember seeing it at H2Oi with the chop top and the gold Ronal’s and I was more in love! It was the last year at the Horse Racetrack. Brian Henderson had the B8 wagon out there in the blue NUE’s. Then the news came out on the Stanceworks forum of the garage catching on fire. It hit me hard, too. I was sad to see it go. I waited for years to see the resurrection and when it finally did, it did not disappoint. Keep at it Mike! I admire all your builds and they inspire me. I remember when the Ford Model A was still a concept in your mind. You, Matt Crooke, and I were having lunch in Big Bear for #OccupyBigBear and you mentioned doing the skinny RS’s for it. I thought it was a fantastic idea that hadn’t been done yet. Love your crazy ideas man. Cheers! 🍻

    Rusty is an icon and deserve a full series, it really has the greatest story of any car out there. I know of you because of it and I’m sure most people do as well. Rusty owned the internet back around 2010 and seeing it rise from the ashes was so memorable and to this day is one of my favorite builds.

    Damn this brings back a lot of good memorys! I remember reding stanceworks articles with a crappy browser extension translating words i hovered over to german, as i was just learning english in school. Tbh i think i learned more english from your articles than from my teacher.
    And to your question, hell yeah i wanna see more content of Rusty and your other old builds!
    Crazy seeing how time flys and how manny cool cars you've build over the years, always improving and learning new skills. Keep up the good work

    Full rusty episode for sure!
    I remember always ready the Stanceworks build thread in 2010 & being so excited for all the updates as they came over the years.
