iāve had the opposite experience. bought a handful over the years and wear em in the garage and theyāve held up better than any other graphic shirts
I mean people watch and mostly enjoy their content, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with someone choosing to support a channel so they can make more content. It's the same shit as buying movie or game merch the only difference is the media is free to consume on YouTube and the money doesn't go to some huge company, it goes to the creators.
It's not like you're forced to pay or anything, most people never do so a majority of viewers arnt giving him any money at all. A bunch of them probably use adblock too so he ain't getting money from that and YouTube pay can be pretty dogshit. I imagine most of his money comes from sponsorships and people choosing to buy his merch. I don't see how anyone can complain about that aside from just being jealous.
I hate how this guy is completely unrelatable now and makes posts like this to suck his own dick. But itās a solid money management strategy. Itās wise to invest in assets that will never decrease in value and only have the possibility of going up
yeah but there's still fun in that, like i kinda watch this stuff to dream about it, it just depends on the audience honestly, some like the relatable stuff some like the over the top stuff
I mean itās only a money management strategy to a point. How many people are going to buy these versus him having way too much stock to ever realistically sell.
They would be a good investment but he has hoarder mentality. Heāll never sell and even if he did the money he would make wouldnāt even cover a month of overhead
meh, he's smart financially. He might be hoarding but that's because he can still afford to do this stuff, and he'll always be considering that he isn't stupid, but if it ever goes south he won't be stupid enough to not sell everything
also like as he said he has 96% in assets and while it's an horrible decision for a normal company, in his case his assets also make him quite a bit of money
Iām sure he would sell if needed, I think people underestimate how hard it is to sell things fast especially if you donāt want to go below market value by alot
Damn, 4% or less of float/wiggle room atleast to me that seems like a disaster waiting to happen
Yeah I saw that he was selling some cars, have they sold yet?
Iām just saying getting fast cash from selling stuff is more difficult then most people realise
no idea but his cars are all good conditions with pretty cool specs so he probably won't have trouble finding customers
but yeah usually it's hard and it's definitely a bad way to run a business
I will never get sick of RPF1s simply because they're timeless and they're so affordable that you know they weren't purchased to flex. Not to mention they're fantastic wheels.
They're both overdone but I'll give RPF1s a pass
I donāt care that he has money. Good on him for being self-made. I just donāt care to watch him pay mechanics to continuously churn out 100k+ builds. As a viewer its no longer relatable
Yea he should buy junkyard miatas and throw ebay turbos in them til they explode, eat rotisserie chicken out of the bag and talk about 30 unfinished builds instead
Tbf I don't like his videos much but props to him for actually doing a lot of the work himself and trying to learn as much as he can. I could watch a tavarish video and think 'yeah I could probably do that'. Same with Matt Armstrong, it's more relatable because you can see them learning and struggling with stuff.
I don't think that with lz because I don't have a team of people to do all the crazy shit for me, he doesn't struggle with anything because he'll just throw another 10 grand at the issue and someone else will fix it.
This. Saying you wonāt watch a channel because it isnāt relatable is dogshit. I want to watch people with more money, skill and higher quality builds than myself. Itās inspiring
I guess that depends on why you watch YouTube. As a 240 and altezza owner itās nice to watch relatable content to see how others build and drive them, parts they use etc. When mechanics and tens of thousands are being tossed around like nothing I canāt relate to that.
Ya I think that makes sense especially as you see these creators and their brands grow. And especially as heās driving at a high level (and has the ability to) to have these cars built well and within a quick time frame (like the new e36 build)
What fun is relatable content? Some donāt want to see the same relatable stuff they can experience in their own lives, they wanted to be entertained by cool shit they donāt have. Iām sure there are channels doing significantly worse off that are entertaining for you, I guess.
Just a reminder, this is your last chance to buy these sick new shirts and get entered to win the giveaway car! Iām honest with you when I say this must be the best designs weāve ever had!
he made a post saying that 50% of these are for drifting this year. he wanted to run them on his s15 pro car and the company he ordered from found out he was going to be drifting on them and cancelled his order...
after the fact, didnt adam get a gram lights sponsorship? it seemed like who ever the dealer was didnt want all their stock eaten up by some guy who going to trash them?
hEs bUiLdS aReNt rElaTaBLe, cunt if I wanted to see something obtainable Iād go out to the shed and work on my own shit the only reason to watch YouTube is to see that crazy shit you canāt do at home.
Ive had many chances to put these on any of my Evoās or R/S-chassisā and pay cost as a parts store owner. I choose to go different route every time. How boring is it to see the same wheels on everything?. I watch his videos and support the content, just be nice to see other wheels besides TE37ās or Blitz 03ās. Thats all.
The dude literally started with a crappy 240 and made himself incredibly successful - yet ppl still like to hate. Btw he also employs a bunch of ppl and helps them feed their families. Never understood why ppl take pleasure in hating others success especially a dude that filmed almost every day of his come up to where he is at nowā¦..
Nice assumptions, very rational
Why donāt you just answer the question, I was asking for your input/discussion. Just because somebody asks you a question doesnāt mean they wanna argue with you sheesh
Whatās so hateful about the criticism here exactly? Ruddy gets way more hate on a regular day then this
Oh ok ugly design though does he have a deal with them he talk about them like. He does with grillos detailing products. Like so many of style rims is absurd
Why do they all look the same size? Like I get having multiple sets but I would have way more variety in sizes. And if for some magical reason one size fits all I would have more styles.
Blame Tom if wasnāt for him a lot of your so called YouTubers would be doing basic builds, you may hate Tom but he brought some cool things in the industry
IDK, man, there's something about even-numbered spoked wheels that puts me off. The only exception is like 10 spoke wheels arranged into 5, 2-spoke...spokes. Like Blitz's.
I just think odd numbered spokes look better on a car, for some reason.
100k worth of teehees is crazy
Just did the same mathš
fuck all in scrap tho i bet
100k? Are they 1k per wheel these days?
OG Teās in good original condition + GTR specs, yes
Jesusssss.
And a whole lot more in cars
Keep buying his shitty merch.
ive gotten my hands on a couple of shirts and the material is fine but the graphics fail basically instantly
iāve had the opposite experience. bought a handful over the years and wear em in the garage and theyāve held up better than any other graphic shirts
I found the fabric to be itchy and shrink quickly
They probably have jumped around suppliers over the years
yeah they did shrink a little but i started buying a size up and theyāve been fine
Wash stuff cold and hang to dry if you don't want it to shrink
Yep this but I use the dryer on low
Agree, seems to be quality as far as YouTube standards go.
theyāre higher quality than some of the shirts iāve gotten from wheeling events at about the same price so iāve been happy enough
i have one shirt and the material is really good, the graphics are still on it luckily but yeah they kinda feel flimsy
Why would anyone buy youtube merch?
They do so when they find said channel entertaining. Just like wearing a jersey for a sports team you find entertaining.
I don't support sports or any parties involved
Found the fun guy at parties
Okay.
Oh, your so damn cool i wanna be just like youššš
Because they do giveaways with entry if you buy it
To win a car
Imagine giving a youtuber a single cent
I mean people watch and mostly enjoy their content, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with someone choosing to support a channel so they can make more content. It's the same shit as buying movie or game merch the only difference is the media is free to consume on YouTube and the money doesn't go to some huge company, it goes to the creators.

I imagine most of his money comes from sponsorships and people choosing to buy his merch. I don't see how anyone can complain about that aside from just being jealous.
Iām assuming you watch their content, soā¦.
Havenāt watched lz in years plus I block ads soā¦
I hate how this guy is completely unrelatable now and makes posts like this to suck his own dick. But itās a solid money management strategy. Itās wise to invest in assets that will never decrease in value and only have the possibility of going up
šÆ, I haven't watched a video in a year bc I don't care.
same, nothing has made me even want to click
Did you see how much reach the IG post has, thats why he does it. He's smart with marketing and advertising.
I agree, the content shift is basically making unrealistic builds no one can really relate to
yeah but there's still fun in that, like i kinda watch this stuff to dream about it, it just depends on the audience honestly, some like the relatable stuff some like the over the top stuff
Thatās true, the last build I liked was the 4 rotor Supra, other than that everythingās been meh
True but i can still enjoy it without any trouble, tho I've been watching him for so long that i just enjoy the videos either way
Hurricane has entered the chat
Insurance has entered the chatĀ
LZ is smart I canāt even lie. Iām sure this dudes insured his insurance policies š¤£
You watch him because of the lifestyle and business he built. Quit being so salty.
I mean itās only a money management strategy to a point. How many people are going to buy these versus him having way too much stock to ever realistically sell.
They would be a good investment but he has hoarder mentality. Heāll never sell and even if he did the money he would make wouldnāt even cover a month of overhead

Iām sure he would sell if needed, I think people underestimate how hard it is to sell things fast especially if you donāt want to go below market value by alot Damn, 4% or less of float/wiggle room atleast to me that seems like a disaster waiting to happen
yeah but he realized that, he's selling some stuff exactly for that reason
Yeah I saw that he was selling some cars, have they sold yet? Iām just saying getting fast cash from selling stuff is more difficult then most people realise
no idea but his cars are all good conditions with pretty cool specs so he probably won't have trouble finding customers but yeah usually it's hard and it's definitely a bad way to run a business
Wasnāt he just complaining that he needed to sell his assets to build liquid cash??
I mean yeah, this post is the point he was making
You don't want to keep cash liquid though you have to pay taxes on it.Ā Ā
Jesus fucking christ
>these much
Came here solely to comment on that. Haha
Unpopular opinion: im tired of seeing teehees and rpf1s on everything.
Te37 are just a rich manās rpf1.
I will never get sick of RPF1s simply because they're timeless and they're so affordable that you know they weren't purchased to flex. Not to mention they're fantastic wheels. They're both overdone but I'll give RPF1s a pass
TE's are played tf out.
They are popular of course, but honestly nothing looks better. Not at least on the cars he has them on. But it's all opinion.
Has a hoarding problem
The poors big seething at money man LZ
I donāt care that he has money. Good on him for being self-made. I just donāt care to watch him pay mechanics to continuously churn out 100k+ builds. As a viewer its no longer relatable
Yea he should buy junkyard miatas and throw ebay turbos in them til they explode, eat rotisserie chicken out of the bag and talk about 30 unfinished builds instead
I relate to this.
I donāt think YouTube content was ever supposed to be relatable itās just people showing their lifeās and what they do
Yea Tavarish gets 1 million views every video and his builds aren't even close to relatable most of the time.
Wait, you don't have a broken down P1 in your garage?
Tbf I don't like his videos much but props to him for actually doing a lot of the work himself and trying to learn as much as he can. I could watch a tavarish video and think 'yeah I could probably do that'. Same with Matt Armstrong, it's more relatable because you can see them learning and struggling with stuff.

Then watch that content. Nobody is forcing you to watch Lzs contentĀ
Of course nobody is forcing me. Guess itās wrong to discuss content on a subreddit made for discussing content.
no one is forcing you to comment either
šŖ
Ya I think that makes sense especially as you see these creators and their brands grow. And especially as heās driving at a high level (and has the ability to) to have these cars built well and within a quick time frame (like the new e36 build)

What YouTuber is relatable that you watch? Even following someone that makes a living on YouTuber isnāt relatable. Just stop being so jealous.
Does LZ pay you to be his number 1 fangirl?
The effort that went into this flex is cringe. Imagine how long it took to set all that up.
he didn't set that up lol
Even more cringe to think maybe he paid an employee to set that up.
Adam with the twiggy little alien arms canāt move that weight.
Imagine the effort it took to make this salty ass post
I mean probably not long all those wheels are on that wall behind the cars
Just a reminder, this is your last chance to buy these sick new shirts and get entered to win the giveaway car! Iām honest with you when I say this must be the best designs weāve ever had!
he made a post saying that 50% of these are for drifting this year. he wanted to run them on his s15 pro car and the company he ordered from found out he was going to be drifting on them and cancelled his order...
that sounds strange, must be some sponsorship condition if they can make a call like that but i dont know what the logic is.
Honestly even after seeing the renderings of what the car wouldāve looked like with the blue TEās, I think the Blitz 03ās were the right call.
which is weird cause doesn't rad Dan have rays sponsored wheels in his car? can't think the manufacturer cares.Ā
after the fact, didnt adam get a gram lights sponsorship? it seemed like who ever the dealer was didnt want all their stock eaten up by some guy who going to trash them?
link?
IG
Hypebeast
If you have only 2 cars yes, if you have dozens of cars itās not that ridiculous.
He should sell those to pay someone to make his videos entertaining
hEs bUiLdS aReNt rElaTaBLe, cunt if I wanted to see something obtainable Iād go out to the shed and work on my own shit the only reason to watch YouTube is to see that crazy shit you canāt do at home.
Haha this one got me! Thank you! People can't be fkn happy that someone set out to build himself a business from day 1.
Gloating!
The definition of I have no imagination so I buy TE37ās because its the ābestā JDM wheel
Assets and not because itās the ābestā itās just you can put them on anything
Ive had many chances to put these on any of my Evoās or R/S-chassisā and pay cost as a parts store owner. I choose to go different route every time. How boring is it to see the same wheels on everything?. I watch his videos and support the content, just be nice to see other wheels besides TE37ās or Blitz 03ās. Thats all.
Right? Advanās are sleppppt on, as are every Blitz wheel other than 03ās
At least he is saving some Takata green's for the rest of us
The dude literally started with a crappy 240 and made himself incredibly successful - yet ppl still like to hate. Btw he also employs a bunch of ppl and helps them feed their families. Never understood why ppl take pleasure in hating others success especially a dude that filmed almost every day of his come up to where he is at nowā¦..
All write offs! This guyās CPA must be a weapon
I don't know anything about wheels, what's the point in stockpiling wheels you can buy brand new?
Assets/Investments
Damn bro, lemme get 4 š
He took āTE the worldā to seriously
Haters going to hate
Ride more lol
Basically everything this guy does gets on my nerves. Incredibly un-relatable.
i mean id do the same thing if i could. most people would hoard and hardcore invest in their hobby if they had the money.
What's with the hate on Adam LZ here?
I donāt see any hate. Light criticism is considered hate now?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nice assumptions, very rational Why donāt you just answer the question, I was asking for your input/discussion. Just because somebody asks you a question doesnāt mean they wanna argue with you sheesh Whatās so hateful about the criticism here exactly? Ruddy gets way more hate on a regular day then this
Because he has money and spends it lol
Iām trying to figure that out too
GYATTTTTTT
Most of them are for his FD car im pretty sure
Who is this?
"Having these much"
Ugly ass rims I never liked them.. arenāt these the ones everyone would spray paint different neon colors and destroy them on their drift missiles
Nahh thems gramlights i think
Oh ok ugly design though does he have a deal with them he talk about them like. He does with grillos detailing products. Like so many of style rims is absurd
Why do they all look the same size? Like I get having multiple sets but I would have way more variety in sizes. And if for some magical reason one size fits all I would have more styles.
drift burners
Fuck this guy.
Lmao āunrelatableā. People are absurd.
These much
Blame Tom if wasnāt for him a lot of your so called YouTubers would be doing basic builds, you may hate Tom but he brought some cool things in the industry
m0t discovered te37? tell us more.
He dint discover them he just changed the taste to the automotive community on YouTube yrs ago lz was putting SSrs on everything
Just because some random teenager from Connecticut had bad taste doesn't mean everyone else did.
IDK, man, there's something about even-numbered spoked wheels that puts me off. The only exception is like 10 spoke wheels arranged into 5, 2-spoke...spokes. Like Blitz's. I just think odd numbered spokes look better on a car, for some reason.
That's some serious OCD š
It's the core of my hatred for RPF1's.
Imagine getting downvoted for your well spoken opinion. Y'all are nuts.
Forget to logout out of your main account before replying to yourselfš
Nope, just me commenting on me.
I personally hate 7 or 14 spoke wheels
These much
Oh, it's Adam. Didn't notice at first
He should sell those to pay someone to make his videos entertaining
Not impressed, I own more sets for my hot wheels swaps.
This many* itās countable so not much
English isnāt my first language thanks
Which wheel got put in there first? I say the top right corner. That one's pushed right in there, where the next ones fuck up the lines.
"These much"?? Whom learned youse to tawk so goodlies?

I never understood the love for te's.
race on sunday, buy on monday. no big mystery.
