- čas přidán 8. 02. 2024
- When I left Motor Trend's Hot Rod Garage at the end of 2021, after 6 seasons hosting the hit TV show, I heard a million wild theories and accusations about what happened. Here's the real honest truth about why I quit my dream job, and started my next dream job, hosting Stay Tuned! Hope you like it, and it felt really good to get this info out there once and for all!

I haven’t even watched the video yet I’m just glad you’re here on CZcams!
Thanks bud! Glad to be here!
Well, two of my favorite car tubers in the same place... Life is good.
I do miss the Lucky / Tony dynamic duo.
Yes sir. Not the same. Had to move on to faster with Newbern and Cotton
Lucky did get a Typhoon on his channel, maybe something will happen?
Thanks for sharing Tony. I'm glad you're still friends with your ex wife. My daughter's Mom and I weren't good as a couple but became best friends raising our daughter together after splitting up. 30 years later we're still family. I'm happy your daughter is doing better too
Same here, but I totally understand why Tony left. I would have done the same. I'm just glad he's here on youtube.
Lucky and Alex are both super talented, knowledgeable plus is just hilarious. But their chemistry together just doesn’t work. Could be the age difference but not sure.
Anyone can be a dad but takes a real man to be a fully devoted father. You sacrificed a lot to suit your children’s needs not just a pay check in the post. Hats off to you sir
what are you on about? if he is divorsed because he was abusive, you don't know. Shut up.
@@User0000000000000004 hahaha you jumped up prik if was true he wouldn’t be happy co parent and associating with his ex plus over clear factors if you have any life experience but either way it’s non of our concern or business. The man’s just expressing himself and I cast my own opinion simple. Don’t need numpties like you having a dig
agree with the sentiment, but it's the other way around. anyone can be a father. it just comes down to sperm production. being a dad is an entirely different ball game. There are a lot of men who are dads to kids who they are not biological fathers of, and there are plenty of fathers who aren't dads.
In like 2018 you helped me locate my old 66Cutlass after seeing it in the background of the El Camino Ice drag episode then Fast forward to March 4, 2020 like 2 days before Covid went crazy you offered to meet me at the Motortrend office and even after the filming manager guy kicked me out you came out and grabbed me and invited me in. That moment will be one of the coolest car moments of my life and really cemented in my mind how cool of a person you are. You are just one of the most genuine people I think I’ve ever met.
Since then I’ve seen lucky at Summits car show in McDonough GA then went back to my hotel that night (because I was traveling for work) (which my work had nothing to do with Power Tour) and there he is at my hotel with his truck parked right out front under the canopy).
Super greatful to have met you!
Oh wow, thanks for sharing that. Sounds like an awesome story just from that short bit. Glad you found the Cutlass, and not just finding it, but finding it in that manner/story as well. That's double the cool factor lol
Covid didn’t go crazy. People in positions of power went crazy.
How was it like 2018? In what ways???
@@vincedibona4687he never said it was like 2018.
"WE'RE GONNA LOSE THE SHOP!!!" Never gets old.
I say it constantly in my everyday life
A 30 minute talk-to-camera-no-wrenching episode, and I did not feel cheated at all. Thanks for sharing the story, Tony. Work-life balance is really important. I'm really happy for you and the other stay tuners that the channel is working out so well and that you are able to - as I've commented before - to churn out such high quality content.
schill episode, pointless. You have been duped!!!
Sorry to hear of your personal troubles. I didn't quite know what to make of you at first, but by the time you and Finn won Drag Week I had decided that you were truly the real deal. I wish you success in the future.
15:30 You benchpressing that trans back into the Blasphemi is the greatest moment of Motortrend TV, any show. Not only was it just cool AF, real guts and grit kinda moment.
Tony, I had no idea. I don't know you, but my heart hurts that you went through all of that, stayed a total professional and just made life work without publicly complaining.
You are a beast emotionally and I'm even more proud to be a fan than I was before. Thanks for sharing.
renal artery dissection (any major arterial dissection) is truly not a joke either. complications, especially from blood clots kill ppl every single day at every single major hospital around the nation... beast is ... understatement. hey everyone reading this: do you know the signs and symptoms of stroke? and what to do? everyone is familiar with basic heart attack stuff... but ppl should familiarize themselves with early signs and non-typical signs of heart attack and stroke .. especially in women bc many times its not as quickly recognized.
I was going to do my own comment but this here says what I feel for sure!
Being a father is your ultimate job and you did that! Respect...
Not a single wasted second,,
Best Job Ever!!..
Cheers from Orange County California...
Did he? Proof?
When I watch Tony and Lucky ..... I feel like I'm in MY shop at home... Pure comedy and badassery... I'm glad you're still kicking em out for us to watch.
Thanks for the transparency. We keep you and your family in prayer!
Hi Tony, hearing about your daughter bought me to tears as I know what you have been through. In 2018 having just turned 4 my daughter was diagnosed with Bone cancer. After a whole year in hospital, multiple surgeries, and a spinal fusion I thank the lord everyday that she is still with us. She is my warrior princess.
Family First!
Much love to your daughter and the rest of your family from New Zealand.
Prayers for healing for your daughter sir believe God's in control ❤
Prayers for your sweet warrior princess! I have a 10 year old daughter myself, and I cannot imagine what it was like seeing your baby girl go through that. Stay strong!
Tons of respect for airing "the laundry" to all of us. I love how it feels like youre just building cool stuff with the boys. Keep it up man!
Thanks for watching! Just wanted to hopefully get the story straight.
@@StayTunedTA - I know how you feel Tony. My wife and I were super involved (upfront on stage) in a large church in our city. For our own personal reasons we left and the rumors as to why we left flew fast and rampant. People are people and part of that is feeling a deep need to know inside stuff and to start rumors about what they think they know. 🤷
Thanks for the update. We are very lucky to have you.
Thank you for posting this video!!!! It takes big balls to put your personal life and your privacy out there. It explains a lot and puts the rumors to rest. You are a great man for wanting to be with your family and be there for your kids!!!! I'm sorry that you had to go through everything that you went through! I'm subscribed to "Stay Tuned" and will be as long as you are posting content. You are extremely talented and very entertaining and wish you much success and prosperity!!!! Thank you for all the sacrifices that you have made to keep us educated and entertained!!!! You have succeeded!!!! Much love brother!!!!!
HRG with You & Lucky was Lightning in a Bottle. My Favorite Car-Show Ever
100%. They had a uniquely chemistry for sure. I’m thinking Lucky must miss it. He and Alex flat just don’t seem to jell. Alex seems to be trying too hard to be someone or something that she just isn’t.
I'm warming up to Alex , but I wasn"t sure at first.
Her and Lucky have the niece and crazy uncle vibe going on that's kinda fun to watch.
Haven't watched an episode of hrg since Tony left
You guys obviously have zero idea how to read people's mannerisms. They're getting along very well, and have stated as much. She's more like his little sister, or a granddaughter dynamic if anything.
@@MrStacy1974 I can see the crazy uncle dynamic too. Alex is representing the younger generation of hot rodders.
Because we're family- Dominic Toretto
Damn straight!
We're building relationships this week.@@DocHolliday3841
@@StayTunedTA I feel like you addressed this in an early video. Guess as new people come in they can't be bothered to go back to those videos when it was just you.
Hope the best for you and your family bro
Love stay turned. An I'm a even bigger fan now knowing you chose to put your family first
I found your channel today and love it! Just became a subscriber and am making you part of my favorite shows rotation now.
Thank you for the story of your past I am grateful 🙏 to hear you kids are doing great and how involved you are. Kids are so important and it is wonderful you can make.this show and be so involved with family.
Keep it up bro and I am a new supporter and fan!❤
Thanks for letting us know what is going on. Sounds like you have a lot going on. Glad to hear that all is doing good with you and your family. Now that I have found your channel, I look forward to following you. Thx.
From a single dad of 15 years, mine are 17 & 19 today, you're killing it. Keep up the good work. I love your content, Power Kraut especially.
Single dads unite my dude. 15 and 18 over here. You are the man.
My father had made it pretty high up in his company when my brother and I were born. Brought in a decent salary, but he was gone for 3 weeks out of the month on the road or overseas. He gave it up and took on a consulting role instead when my brother and I were 6 and 3. It didn't bring in his upper mgmt salary, but we were still comfortable. When I asked him about that years later, he told me that nobody is going to remember the extra hours you put in at the office, but your kids will remember you not being there for them. That has stuck with me since. Good to see you recognizing that early on and prioritizing the time with your family. You're all doing an incredible job with the channel, Tony & Gang.
You have a great dad!! Say hallo to him from me in Norway 🫡🫡🫡
In my own way I am doing this.. I am 36 and trying to swap to part time work whilst my kids grow up.. seen too many people work for big money to enjoy it later in life...when they then get sick and the kids are all grown? Don't make sense to me... ❤
This is why my mom quit management. The 50+ hours a week, missing dinner every night, not getting home til we were in bed wore on her. Then having to stay super late on Christmas Eve, that was the final straw. I still remember that night, I think I was 5 or 6, I'm 37 now. Long time ago now my parents told me, most companies you are a just a replaceable number to them, your extra time won't be noticed for long, but missing out on life with family and friends, they will not forget.
As someone who is dealing with liver issues I can relate and my heart goes out to you and your family. Just heard about your show on here so now I got something to watch while I’m in the hospital.
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate for including us in your personal life. Got a new channel fan!
That was gracious: you didn't owe an explanation to anyone. Another reason I love this channel: your honesty and personal courage. Wishing you and your family the very best of health and happiness!
Tony, its been a blast to watch you grow as an on camera talent. Your charisma and humor compliment the wrenching skills. Thanks for making great shows for us to enjoy!
I appreciate that! Really, a lot! I'll keep making them if you keep watching.
Great video! Had no idea you were an extra on that many shows! Looking forward to your future projects. Best of luck in anything and everything you do bro.
Thank you Tony. You are a blast to watch and listen. Appreciate hearing the real story. All the best to you and your family!
WOW!! When Mike Finnegan did this same type of video to explain to his fans why he left MotorTrend, I commented to him the same thing I'm going to comment to you. FAMILY FIRST❣️ I sincerely respect you both for your choices. I'm retired now & my former work partner has a teen son that went through a liver transplant that is also autistic. I kept thinking how he & his wife were able to keep it together with this young man going through all of this medical trauma! But, everything has been working out, such as your family is by the grace of God! You & Lucky were like peanut butter & jelly together. I had suspicions there was something unseen happening for you to leave. Thank you for sharing with us! Best of luck to you & yours!!
Mike was with motortrend too?
Mike didn't leave Motortrend.
Mike left Faster with Finnegan to be with his kids and David Newbern stepped down from Finnegan's CZcams channel to also be with his kids
@@whiskeytangofoxtrotover9651 NO, he left Faster with Finnegan. Newbern & Cotton took his place. You'll find his explanation on CZcams, also.
@@deathcab4booty Correct.
He’s just another guy having a human experience, may god bless us all
Love the transparency! Praying for you and your family and your continued successes!
Awesome...Fridays aren't complete at our house without some stay tuned! My son and I love ur show bro🤙
Awesome! Thank you!
Tony is the best! I took a dream job AFTER getting divorced. Six years later, traveling 2-3 weeks a month... I left and moved back to Idaho, 2.5 miles from my kids. Probably the best choice I ever made. Don't lose the Shop! : )
Appreciate the openness. This hit me hard in my current life situation. Gave me a lot to think about as I move forward. Thanks for being real!
If you hadn't made that call before heading home, most of us wouldn't know who you are. That would have sucked. I'm glad you did. Years of awesome content. Thank you
Crazy how life turns on a dime...
I think Alex and Lucky are great together. I miss the old show but life doesn't care about your plans. I know this all too well. I absolutely love your channel and all the guys involved. Keep up the good work, and keep being an amazing Dad!
Alex and Lucky are terrible together. She definitely knows alot about cars but she is a bit dry. Also, Lucky went from a funny guy to a simp for Alex and it's painful to watch. I cancelled my subscription because of that show alone lol
@@jondanimalhrg has got better in the second season. They were a bit awkward together at first because it felt like they didn't really know each other but they seem to work well together now. Motortrend has slipped a lot since the heydays with dirt every day and other shows getting canned but I hope they will bounce back.
@@jondanimal It's a 60 min show that drags out 20 mins at best of content.
@jono6379 I watched 5 min of a recent episode at a friend's house and had him turn it off because the simping is still going strong. He also noticed it after I pointed it out. Him and I both hung out with Lucky at SEMA in 2019 and know he isn't like that all the time. Plus Alex seems like the kind of person who wouldn't laugh at a dirty joke and only does missionary lol
@digitaldoc100 it wasn't always like that but I agree it's definitely that now.
I remember this whole era and its cool to hear your behind the scenes experiences of it. I loved catching the shows on Saturday mornings. Glad to see you more often here on YT also. thanks for sharing!
Thanks and congratulations! Before knowing any of this I always had a feeling everyone & everything was good to go with you & those around you. I plan to watch more when I can. I definitely want a sweatshirt about loosing the shop. My sons and I say that a lot working on our Pontiacs & Chevys. I too am a loving devoted father of 3 boys, & our niece I have know as my daughter since she was born. 2 of my boys are special needs so my wife and I understand fully about sacrifices & being committed. Juggling it all and making it work while building a brand like you have is something very special we feel you deserve a lot of wonderful credit for! You should be very proud, we are. I always knew in my gut you are definitely one of the good ones, keep up the great job! Best of luck, your friends, the Brekke’s
We hope to see you sometime, perhaps you may make it to Minnesota. I run in our QA1 Autocross at Street Machines Nationals if you’re ever interested. I’m in the CNC Machinist Department, since 2016/17. We would be honored & proud to have you & yours.!!
Regardless of why, it doesn't change who YOU are! Glad you're back HOME and seem to be enjoying life MUCH more man! Cheers!
I really really am stoked to be here.
@@StayTunedTA you GOTTA save Lucky from Cali. You 2 together were flippin' GOLD! That's prolly the biggest part of HRG that I miss. Although, Alex is GREAT and adds a new fun twist to the show too.
@@StayTunedTA unfortunately, due to the VERY strange warm weather we've been getting in Wisconsin, the Merrill Ice Drags have been canceled this year... urgg!
@@SSThomas84the mention of the Merrill Ice Drags just makes me think of the time a buddy of mine lost the brakes in his Mustang and got some air over the snow pile out there!
@@NFSgadzooks #MustangThings…. 😂 Gittyup tho! Yikes!
What an absolute humble, unselfish and empathetic human being !! You give a first hand account on what having an open mind and willingness to do whatever it takes to learn, craft and enjoy your passion - while having a blast doing it !! You raised the bar on how integrity is practiced ! Not once during your explanation did you complain about anything or anyone. Will you succeed in whatever you do- that's a given, but to put your homelife first and be the best dad you can, speaks volumes !! Congrats on remaining teachable !
Besides, Alex Taylor is very hot in my eyes and don't even know what she's saying or building when she's on the show 😂 ( I kid )
Godspeed Tony !
Some of the best car shows ever produced. I'm glad you shared your hardships. All of your fans can better appreciate what you went through. My son and I are doing our own adventures with a 54 Chevy and a lot of inspiration came from your shows. I hope the best for family. Keep up the great content. CMW
Tony props to coming out telling it all, I can tell your a stand up dude and I wish more people came across this honest on youtube. You're the best brother you tell it as it is, and it shows through your ups and downs over the years, you've made it out alive and well.
Hey man, full support Tony. I had a dream job playing in a band, touring all over the world, doing exactly what I thought I was put on this planet to do. Had 1 kiddo I missed most of her childhood, went through a divorce, bunch of other heavy stuff requiring me to be close to home, then kiddo 2 came along and I had to make a choice as a man. Be selfish and keep doing my dream while my kids lost opportunities and lost time with their dad, ask my wife to essentially be a soldiers wife, or compromise with myself and take 1/3rd or maybe 40% of my dream away so that 4 other humans I care about most in this world could flourish. Choice was hard at the time but looking back, it's almost shameful to me that the choice was hard to me at that time. I was raised where if you commit to create life, you commit to that life and raising that life. Period.
I commend you for doing what you did. There are a lot of guys still that don't have that in them.
I never thought conspiracies, I figured it was family related. End of the day, HRG is still decent but we also get an extra thing with your channel. That's a solid net win for us enthusiasts not to sound overly pragmatic
3 most important things in life...
1) family and loved ones
2) Your Health
3) Time.
when we lose any of these , we never can get them back.. Cherish them
Solution: dont have kids
@@arielatom03 sounds like wife ( not sure about the behind-set but she wouldn't have pressed the nukes buttons if she wasn't being selfish/unloyal to tony and her kid's as sometimes as a husband you're forced into working and or golden handcuffs like the gig Tony had of okay paying and somewhat stability-ect job but flying ect as a downside to it ) or court or both = Basically getting fired or forced to quit, yep knowledge 1st handed and also going from working to my first 100k-net-worth to homelessness/poverty's at 25yo~ ect and 5+ more years of drudgery and hoping i can restore my lifestyle and then upgrading from there
This has to be my favorite channel now, please try to keep it the three of you working in the garage together on reasonable priced builds.
Tony, thank you for all the content you’ve provided us in the past and for what you’ve yet to do. Sucks about the family dynamic, but great to know things are well enough to be co-parents and clearly the kids matter the most.
I'm so glad you did this ep, and I'm gladder still that it crossed my feed. I wondered what had happened.
So you picked up another subscriber. Thanks,
Your kids will look back and appreciate your sacrifices to be a good father.
Nothing but respect for you Tony, some things are just more important
Tony.....I'm a 64 year old geezer.
All I can tell you is that family is everything.
Take care of your family and everything else will fall into line.
Please don't say Geezer.,..jeez, I'm 65😢
Except when they are garbage.
^ My father taught me that a true measure of a man's wealth is his family. I'm a father of two today and couldn't agree more. Always loved Tony in HRG and it's still my favorite era of the show, but him talking about his kids and being so happy that he has that right work-life balance that he's been chasing... man it just made my day. :)
Not a lot of folks that became as famous/popular as he did given the momentum of the show would have done this. More than too many broken homes and families in showbiz.
WOW TONY... SORRY FOR ALL THE DIFFICULT CHALLENGES WITH FAMILY HEALTH... MAJOR RESPECT FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO YOUR FAMILY...
Thanks for sharing Tony. Sorry you had so many tough times. Hope it gets way better. I enjoyed your HRG days. I will start enjoying Stay Tuned more. Best wishes and Godspeed!
I’m glad to hear your daughter is doing well ! Most of us miss you on HRG ,but your family is more important ! I hope that you were able to make a full recover! Love the new platform and staying tuned in!
Family first, always. You did what you had to do. A real stand up guy. A good job doesn't kill you.
Did not even know your channel existed here I do apologize. Great explanation and timeline. I’m looking forward to diving into your channel. God bless you and the family Tony.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is really great that you are so involved in your kids lives.
HRG kept me going through the pandemic and inspired my friend and I to restore a V8 Jeep CJ-5 in my suburban garage. I really appreciate all the work you put into that show. Thanks for sharing more of the story!
That is awesome! thanks for watching!
You'll never regret putting your family and health first. I have even more respect for you now. I'm truly sorry for the price you've had to pay. Best of luck to you and yours.
It's crazy to me that you have to put to bed so many wild theories and rumors. The internet really does suck when it comes to stuff like that. That said, thank you for opening up to a million strangers about what transpired behind the scenes! Been a fan here since day 1, and will continue to follow. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing all of this. I have even more respect for you.. You got your prioritys in line and know how to make the hard right decisions. Nobile!
definately miss you on MT.. hope someday that works out.. where you can stay in PA.
Its called life. It happens. I'm here for the duration. Keep doing you. It'll be fine. You'll never lose the shop, or us
As a Jersey guy that can see Pennsylvania across the River and a father of a son that needed care, I’m so thankful we have CHOP in Philly to care for our kids. I love what you do. My son and I have bonded over your old and new show for years. Thanks for keeping us in the garage.
Sweet back store! Keep pushing forward man! Love your stuff
Great video, dude ! You did a great job of telling us all the details of your colorful journey from your drifting days all the way up to today's gig in PA. Congrats on upholding your "Dad-life" with your girls (family first); and keep up the good work on your present show !
I think you found your real place to be on youtube. The scripted quick snippets of builds on tv don’t do justice to your ability. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing some pretty intimate details. Nothing but respect, Tony.
HUGE respect Tony! I’m a transplant recipient also . Mad respect for being there for your kiddos! You definitely made HRG cool AF! Thank God yer lil girl is doing well and praying for you and her !
Wow!! That's a lot to have gone through!! Glad to see you're doing better. God bless my man.
Life is hard, I'm glad you happy now. I'm retired Army and I was so rapped up in those stupid wars I lost my whole family. I'm proud of you. Thanks. I did and still love HRG.
I had read about your daughter, but hadn't heard about the accident in the Desert and very sorry to hear about the seperation from your wife. The stresses of a sick child, twins, immense pressure on even the strongest of marriages. I was hoping your favorite was TwinPala, what an effort you guys put into that one! I remember the first episode of HRG you were on, I thought you looked like a L.A. Gangster!
Bro your awesome! Being a Dad is the best thing that can happen man. the fact you realize that makes you a great man!! Good luck my friend. I will "stay tuned!!!"
Tony, THANK YOU so much for THIS video. Your family trials break my heart, but it sounds like you're over the hump and that makes me very happy. I always figured the magic you and Lucky had couldn't be faked, because you two were the best show on MT , no contest. The episodes with Finnegan were also amazing, Drag Week is probably my most remembered, followed by your hillarious stupidity with the crown hick. I hope you have continued home-life bounty and gain a metric butt-ton more subs very soon. Or views. whatever puts the cash in the kitty.
Much respect tony, as a father of 2 little girls I understand how hard it is to balance work and home life as a hot rodder. Keep up the channel for all us little guys that don't have the unlimited budgets! Love the show and the vibe!
The Drag Week special is also one of my all time favorites. I've watched it a couple times... still raises the hair on my back. All the best to your daughter, Tony, did not expect this episode to get this deep. Much love, brother!
Thank you for letting us into your life. You were always my favorite host and didn’t owe anyone an explanation but appreciate the update as fans we care and you made the right decision family first always I have even more respect for you now than I did before thank you Tony and good luck with your family and future
Wow man, I had no idea. Glad to see you keeping on keeping on !!! Wishing you and you're family the best 🙂
Thanks for the transparency, you rule, dude. Your story is inspiring. Glad the 250 made a cameo, too!
Tony always like you I really appreciate you coming forth and telling us the truth so we can set all the rumors to rest God bless you man you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do in life we all want to be Superstars but family first
Never could have guessed you had all that going on you’re always such a pillar of positivity and good vibes. Glad you’re able to make those moves and look after yourself and your family you deserve all the success!
Tony, you are not just a great host and a great hot rodder, but you make the kind of content I really love and you've shown yourself to be a great dad and a true man of integrity. I'm very happy to be one of your fans.
I’m glad I found this video, I am a fan and happy it was for the reasons you listed. Hope everything works out for you and your family.
Thanks for taking the time to clear the air and here's to the continued success of Stay Tuned. 💪❤️🌈🦄
As the father of a BA child I feel your struggles😢, my daughter is ten years post transplant and is absolutely amazing. I hope yours continues to to thrive, keep the episodes coming. You guys are doing great!
You did not have to step up in front of the camera and tell this story to your fans but you did. Thank you for keeping it very real and caring enough to fill us in. I wish you and your family all the good health and happiness in the world. You have a fan for life.
Staying REAL with Tony. Nice work spreading the stoke!
Glad to hear you dispelling rumors, you’re the best bro, keep up the great work.
Tony, I’ve said this before about you and your show. You are us, you are ME, you are the normal guy, with the normal family shit. You are giving us hope that it’s possible to live through it all and still love cars. You’re doing more for us normal guys than you may know. Please, just keep being you and we’ll keep watching. My family used to live in Allentown, brother still does, totally dig the PA vibes!! Thank you!!
Tony. From one dad to another: My hat is off to you. Family comes first.
Much love to you and your family!
Inspiring story overcoming challenges in your family life. Family always comes first. Miss you on HRG. Thank you for sharing your story and wishing you the best in your future endeavors. Subscribed.
What a great story and tremendous/positive attitude. So much of the negative side of things in this world today, honest opinions with a majority of positive spin is great to hear and earns your respect in my book, I'm sure many others too! Not sure how I've missed your channel, but looking forward to binging on old episodes.
You and lucky had great chemistry and it made HRG awesome.
Edit : hearing about what your family went through was heavy duty, man. Stoked to hear she's doing well now, Tony. God bless
And this is why Stay Tuned is quickly shooting up to be one of my favorite channels! Thanks for keeping it real 😀
Love your work and you'll never work a day in your life. Thanks for all you do for the rest of us while you're having fun.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. You're doing it right man!
I love how you've always been open and honest. Just a genuine dude that is a gear head.
I'm so glad your daughter is doing well!
I have become disabled with health problems and watching videos made by down to earth good people gives me a welcome distraction from the hell my life has become. I'm truly thankful for people like you and I wish you all the success and happiness. I would enjoy seeing more driving content. Drift EVERYTHING lol
Wow, I am touched and impressed. I am subscribing, turning on notifications and liking this video, and I will never turn it off. Stay strong, brother.
It's great to see you doing what you love. At home and at work!
Makes no difference to me where you work my dude. As long as you are happy and having fun, I'm happy to watch. Keep waking up determined, and going to bed satisfied! Thanks for doing what you do.
Really sorry to hear about all your troubles. I don't know how you you did that show under the circumstances. May God bless you your health and your family.
One love Tony, you gave people an explanation and didn’t have to. I’m still here watching, keeping doing you! 🤙🏻
Thank you for putting the rumors to bed. Glad you are still able to do what you love while getting that quality family time. Hope everything continues to work out
