That’s a very tough question to answer, only because I’m not an expert with every manufacturer. BUT I can say from what I’ve experience, researched, and seen first hand, it has to be Toyota. Which is wild because I don’t even like Toyotas. But Toyota has gone downhill significantly in the past few years, which is why I’m doing a video on them soon. My personal favorite brand is BMW or anything German. I say that purely based on how they drive and the fact that BMWs aren’t as bad as everyone says. It took me owning one for me to realize that. What do you think brother? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy I'm guessing you don't like Toyota because compared to most German made cars they're a little boring to drive. I'm a Japanese car fan. I own a 2019 Forester a 2021 Tacoma a 2000 Civic and a 1967 Mustang.

Absolutely correct there brother. I have driven them when deployed and they worked, yes, but nothing beats the drive performance of a BMW M Series. And your cars are awesome too btw, they will last forever. How’s that mustang holding up? I’m a sucker for 60’s mustangs. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy Not running right now. It was involved in the NW Iowa floods this pass June. It's in storage until we get our house rebuilt and can get some money saved. I've owned it since 1982. Lots of good memories.

Heck yeah dude it’s no problem at all. I enjoyed our conversation and I see more coming! I’m sure we’ll have tons to talk about. When I get back from Europe we’ll chat. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy I hope you enjoy your trip! I know I’d love to hear all about it!

How do you think it’s gonna go? And what will happen to Ford if a specific candidate wins? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy Harris will definitely bail them out and trump probably wont they are gonna 100% need a bailout tho lol

Oh absolutely brother, I actually made a video specifically about this topic. I’d love to hear your opinion on that video since it seems like you are very aware. How have your dealership experiences been? Seems like the whole thing is getting so much worse? I look forward to hearing from you brother. -Brandon

i work at one at bottom to work way up i learn its almost like been back school andnway theyll work or act , na not for me i work few place on fleet and need take a vechile to a dealer and the only reason y i b in one i came from a area and family was mechanical and carpentry included it broke u fix u either learn found someone that coukd help or know how and trade or help them so all good and far

Tell me how you really feel lol 😂

You think EV’s are less maintenance? I can’t say for sure because I’ve never owned one but from friends and people I’ve seen online, the maintenance is slightly less but you still pay for other things that almost makes it about the same in ownership costs. Again, not my experience. I think hybrids are honestly the way to go if you want to be “green”, which nothing about cars are green but it’s the best imo. Do you own an EV brother? I’d love to hear your thoughts. -Brandon

Paul, that’s one way to rid yourself of the Chevy shake lol! 😂 I’m actually very surprised more people are buying them. Once Chevy switched to Mexico production, that sealed their fate I think. And to top it off, they didn’t even discount the product for the consumer. I’m not normally one to throw out the phrase corporate greed…but come on lol…what do you think brother? -Brandon

My Tesla Model 3 is a great sedan and it's American made.

@@That-Guy_ Tesla's with the exception of the Cybertruck are great American cars but they are still kina few compared to others and they are getting cheaper but still not vary cheep.

Yeah they’ve just made too many terrible ones and people remember that. Especially when it’s their hard earned money essentially being taken away. It’s really sad to see. Dealerships don’t help the situation either, it’s why I made a video on them as well. Honestly, they are one of the biggest reasons for some of the issues the car market has. What do you think brother? -Brandon

Ironically I did do that 🫣

@@A-BombEnergy I watched them after I made that comment 😅

Haha thats awesome brother! Thanks for watching them, I really appreciate that. Did you like them? Have you seen the dealership one I did recently? Also, I for the life of me couldn't figure out why your username was familiar...then I watched a rerun of Seinfeld 🤣 Thanks again my friend. -Brandon

I think they did, I was just late on responding. Been traveling internationally and 4 flights in a row got cancelled...guess its time to do a video on the airlines lol. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy nice 👍 yea make series how every brand is trying to kill you.

You know...I think you are right there my friend. AMC was an incredible brand in my opinion and the fact that they failed before I got to enjoy their products is a shame. I will add them to my list and look at doing a film on them. And yeah...what is Chrysler lol...they are so far gone its not even relevant anymore. It's quite sad because it was such an iconic brand in American history. But this is what poor management and leadership does to a company. Always a pleasure to talk to you, my friend. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy the AMC Eagle was far ahead of its time, being the first crossover SUV. The 4.0 that jeep used was their best engine once AMC was bought out by chrysler, and their last car the premier lived on under the eagle brand. They should be considered a warning to the remaining American Auto brands

Brother you are so right. I would love to have an AMC Eagle too, I know some people think they are ugly but what that car represents is amazing. And I think American car companies won’t look at them as a warning, just look at GMs EV Silverado…almost 100k for a truck that can’t do truck things…this is easily the most interesting time to be alive and if I were a wealthy dude or dude-et, I’d do everything I could to build a car company and fill the eventual vacuum. -Brandon

Hello fellow BMW owner! Your BMWs are really awesome by the way. How are you liking the i7? I have an M340i and good lord...its the best vehicle I have ever driven and so darn practical too. I can throw the car seat in the back and also track the car. Amazing. Thank you for the kind words and subscription, my friend. I'm really trying my best to put out the best quality content for you guys for no charge. I really hope you enjoy the other documentary films that I have on here, I had a lot of fun making them. The next one is going to be on Toyota and how they are essentially falling as a brand. I'm going to try to have that one out this month. I look forward to our future conversations brother. You seem like a really cool guy and I love talking to people like you. -Brandon 🫡

@@A-BombEnergy I'm excited you replied, thank you. I'm going back and watching all your videos. The quality is A1. I had a M340i back in 2020 and I loved it. Unfortunately it developed a oil leak early on and BMW Lemon lawed it. I'm still considering picking up a M440i GC. I absolutely love the i7. I ironically didn't buy it to save gas, I bought it because it has a lower center of gravity, the quiet powertrain is as close to RR as you can get and it has a hefty feel with the added weight. I know that's the opposite of what a BMW is however I drive approximately 300 miles a day. The i7 is a treat to cruise in. The down side is our charging infrastructure. Electry America is always broken or far and inbetween, it's extremely difficult to find DC fast charging and it's made this whole experience unbearable. I'm trading both cars for a 740i xdrive and a M440i GC. Looking forward to your video on Toyota. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and look forward to speaking soon. - Bernard

Of course brother, its an honor to talk to you guys. I have never met a group of people like this, literally legends you guys are. Sorry to hear about the issues you had with your 340i, I hope that was just a one off because that machine is absolutely incredible. Anything 40i really is imo. Thats awesome you are so happy with your i7 and that amount of driving you do is incredible. Do you ever get any range anxiety? And the charging infrastructure is joke and I am sorry you are having to put up with it. My friend has a Mach E and sometimes I catch him sleeping in his car while charging because he can't get home. Is the charging infrastructure your main reason for trading them in for the 740i? Always a pleasure Bernard, feel free to hit me up anytime on social media. I have become personal friends with a lot of people. -Brandon P.S. Don't rip on me too hard for my lackluster social media profiles haha its my first time 🤣

@@A-BombEnergy The honor and pleasure is mine. The issue was isolated to approximately 1,000 units thankfully. I've had a few 40i models since (740i, X6 xDrive 40i, and a 840i xDrive GC) and they were flawless past 50,000 miles. I take care of my grandmother (Cook, Administer Her Medicine) daily and I don't live in the same city. I don't want someone from the outside to do it when I can. At least ill know everything is done right and she trust me. She's 98. I don't get range anxiety in the traditional sense. Mine comes in if i'm home and forget to charge. I have a fear of needing to abruptly leave from a earthquake or rushing to the hospital and having a low charge. Driving, i'm fine. In the beginning, I always had to have 100% charge because it's free. Now I fill up at 10%. The charging infrastructure is the main reason i'm giving up electric. Aside from the notorious Electrify America issues, i've run into people who cut the line, will unplug your car or cancel your charge if you're at a certain level, I had a woman key my car because I wouldn't stop charging so she could. I never seen a group of adults act a certain way over 30 minutes of free charging. It's not worth it to me. You do the same, hit me up anytime, about anything. Honor to have you as a friend. My social media is about my cars and my poodle so you're good lol

James, it's quite sad that it's like that now. Brand loyalty I think can be a really good thing if it's a solid company and they actually care about their customers but car companies don't care about their customers at all. Unless of course, you are a high-end purchaser... There are a few brands that I am loyal to and that's because every time I've had an issue they've taken care of it in the quality of the product is incredible. But they earned that loyalty. What are your thoughts on that James? -Brandon

You liked the hybrid Maverick? Not saying thats crazy at all btw, I drove one for a week with the military and I did not like it at all. The constant turning the motor on and off and brake assist thing made me nauseous. How much were they wanting for the pick up truck? I'm kind of shocked they wouldn't negotiate on it. Did they give you a reason? It sounds like you had a typical dealership experience and I am sorry that you had to deal with that and wasted your time. The fact that they were trying to charge you 1695 in a fee that isn't your fault nor should you have to pay is ridiculous. Every dealership seems to be doing this now and if they keep this practice up, they are going to seal their own fate. I had a BMW dealership, tried to charge me around the same price because they put new tires on the car. I told them to put the tires on and I'll get my own tires. Needless to say, they dropped all the ridiculous fees. It sounds like you need to find a new dealership or try to find one from a small town dealership. I have been looking at Facebook marketplace and that seems to be a decent place to buy cars. I have had subscribers tell me that it worked out really well for them too. Maybe that's the future of car purchasing. Or online purchases. If you need any help finding a vehicle, you can hit me up on Instagram. I can take a look online for you if you want. I know the process is really frustrating. Thanks for commenting my friend and I hope you have a great upcoming weekend. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy So my story actually has a pretty happy ending. After I left the dealership and went home, my wife and I were like "someone's gotta have a used one somewhere." So we looked all over our state at dealerships and found a 2023 Maverick XL with 17k miles on it. Single owner, clean carfax, no issues at all. Seems like we got really lucky. Took it for a test drive the next day, and much to our surprise, they were all about negotiating. Their dealership's slogan was something like "3000 below the competition guaranteed!" so after we told them about our experience at Ford, it gave us some wiggle room. Helped that I took a picture of the paperwork Ford brought me too. That's another thing, the guy said we couldn't take the paper work or they charged him $50 per page? No idea if that's true, but at this point, I sort of believe it. Anyhow, we ended up signing and getting a 6.49 APR (wife has immaculate credit lol) and driving it home next day. 24k. Oh, it also has the tow package included. I know the hybrid can only tow about 2,000 lbs, but for our house and yard projects, it's perfect for us. To your points though, the brake assist thing was nuts, I actually found out there was a button to turn it off right by the traction control buttons, so I instantly turned it off. The Ford dealership was asking 27k for the USED Hybrid I was interested in (no tow package, XL), and 33k for the new (base XL), but they'd have to order it so we would need to wait a few months. Also, they wanted either $1,055 a month for a lease, or 10% APR for financing. No wiggle room, even with my wife's incredible credit. I was floored, dude. My last daily driver was a 2019 Hyundai Kona that I got in 2020, my credit was around 670 at the time, and I got locked in at 4.89. It's insane what dealerships and banks are charging for interest on loans. My wife lives and dies by her Subaru dealership. She's been buying and leasing cars from them for 10 years, and they actually recommended the Ford dealership to us because we wanted either a Maverick or a Bronco, and the Ford was part of their "dealer family." Well turns out, being part of the family meant absolutely nothing. We actually called the Subaru dealership after the experience and they were floored by what I told them, and they even offered to let us check out a Ranger someone had traded in, but it was just a little too pricey for us. Though, we probably would have gone with it if we didn't find the Maverick. I appreciate you offering to help me find a good deal though man! My wife and I love your content, and we hope your channel keeps growing.

I don’t think there is much wrong with the MKZ. Biggest issues ford has is with their EV division and poor models that are still on the road like their Fiesta. Cool car but they went too cheap on it. Do you have an MKZ? What kind of gaming are you in to? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy dont have one but I like the Lincoln Brand after owning a Town Car

Nice, yeah they aren’t too bad. Town Car was an awesome model. I wish they still made them because it honestly was their best model. You still own the town car? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy no because it looks too much like a taxi but it was very reliable

I feel you on that. I have an 09 charger and don’t drive it much because it looks like a cop car and people drive slow when I get behind them. Drives me insane lol 😂

Yeah it’s a problem sometimes lol. 😂 The market isn’t looking good for them either…so they need to get their tail in gear and tap into that ungreedy side and start problem solving. -Brandon

Hey brother, I believe I did in the main video, this is just the response video to the primary film. And I don’t think anyone will hop on you for being a fan boy, 99% of the people on here are super respectful to people’s purchases. And yes, the way Tesla sells their cars should be the standard and they are leading the charge right now…let’s hope it takes effect. Check out the main video and I bet you’ll like what I say about Tesla. -Brandon 🫡

Reuben, a diesel hybrid would be very interesting to see. Idk if they exist in other countries but I think they would do well in the US for a niche market. They would get crazy good fuel economy, I would wager somewhere in the 70's? What do you think? I used to think Toyota could do something like that but not so much anymore...they have really fallen lately...they ironically are going to be the subject of my next documentary. What draws you to the Big Three over foreign brands Reuben? -Brandon

Mathias, I think you are really going to like the video based on this comment. While I’ve never owned a Toyota and don’t plan on it, they used to be the no brainer purchase for straight reliability. Now? Not so much…unfortunately. Look forward to hearing from you when I post it 😁 -Brandon

I think it always just depends on the person and what they want. I am like you, a sedan makes a heck of a lot of sense to me and my family. While I own an SUV I almost never drive it, burns so much extra fuel to do the same thing my sedans do. And yeah...American sedans are close to some of the worst with a few exceptions. Glad you guys got Toyotas...ironically, they are going to be the subject of my next documentary. Would love to hear your opinion on that when it releases since you are what I would consider a devout Toyota guy (nothing wrong with that either btw). Thanks for commenting my friend. -Brandon

lol American side is still ran by Americans and Americans destroyed the brand. That’s more of what I was getting at but I hear what you are saying. And bringing AMC back would make every jeep enthusiast need new underwear lol…including myself 🤣. Are you a Jeep guy? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy Big jeep guy and an AMC guy lol, I have an 02 Wrangler and a 79 AMX. I love American cars in general but I also agree with really all your videos on the current state of the American auto industry. As a lifelong mechanic I usually tell people American manufacturers haven't really made anything worth buying in the last 15-20 years

Nice man so we are essentially of the same opinion. I only have shifted as of recent to foreign cars because I’m tired of the poor quality put out by American brands. On my next podcast I’m going to go into detail on this very topic because it’s something that needs to be addressed. I would love to hear your thoughts on American brands and the poor quality they have been putting out. Would you be interested in talking to me about it on IG? What’s the worst brand in your opinion or from your experience what breaks the most? It’s such a fascinating topic to me. I used to want to be a mechanic then I realized how bad people treat their cars haha 🤣-Brandon

Right!? Too bad I’m not in Aussi land where I can get a Land Cruiser! 😂 -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy haha also arabs love the land cruiser

Yes they do! The Land Cruiser I had in Africa I think was from the Kingdom and it had the call to prayer function in it and always had a spot on the compass showing where Mecca was. -Brandon

Man brother I’m really sorry you guys had a bad experience with your challenger. Those used to be awesome cars and while they weren’t the most reliable, you could get decent use. What kind of issues were you having with it? What engine did you have brother? -Brandon

Man brother I’m really sorry you guys had a bad experience with your challenger. Those used to be awesome cars and while they weren’t the most reliable, you could get decent use. What kind of issues were you having with it? What engine did you have brother? -Brandon

I’m glad my videos are providing value to you my friend. It’s the main reason I make them, too many are wanting the sponsorship of the brand. I’m my own brand so I have zero issues slinging the truth out there lol. And yeah I don’t understand why people would defend a system that is actively working against them. Dealerships think it’s working for them but that’s just not the case anymore. I’m happy you got your fiesta! Assuming it’s a manual too? That’s one thing I miss about Europe, aside from the architecture, is the fact that I can rent a manual transmission vehicle. I’ll be in Europe in a few days and I’m totally renting a manual BMW. Cheers my friend. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy Many thanks for the response. It's an automatic though, perfect for long roadtips! I hope you have a wonderful time in Europe, take care!

It annoys me to no end you guys still get our small cars while we are stuck with trucks and SUVs.

@@tony10980 As far as Ford goes, we no longer have the Mondeo (Fusion's Spanish cousin) or Fiesta and Focus is at its last model year. They used to be models like KA+, B-Max, C-Max - cute cars all killed due to low sales. While there are different brands still offering small, relatively affordable city-cars (ex. Stellantis, Renault), the roads are getting dominated more and more by SUVs. Although they are arguably smaller than their American cousins (compare the Escape crossover with Expedition SUV).

Of course, I cannot tell you how awesome it is to talk to you guys. And yes, Belgium and France will be nice 😁 back to the homeland 😁 -Brandon

Yeah man I can only imagine how irritating that probably was. The sense of entitlement. I used to work sales for a tech company and dealt with this issue all the time. It’s why that reference was easy for me in this video lol 😂 problem though is some dealers complied. It’s a tough game to be in and why I think the model needs to go away. Dealers would benefit more than they think…what do you think brother? Especially since you worked in the industry. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy I went back to working as a tech. Working on cars is much more rewarding. Sales gives you no life. I commend the folk that do sales.

Yeah idk how they do it. 6 days a week and for what? It’s not like they are building a business…glad you are working on cars brother. What brand do you work on?

@@A-BombEnergy Been doing Hyundai and Kia my entire career. I took a brief stint to do sales, a year ago. Wasn't my cup of tea.

How are those vehicles holding up brother? I’ve heard horror stories but honestly idk how true they are. I love Scotty Kilmer but he does over embellish things and claims all the Korean brands are bad. What’s your take my friend? -Brandon

Thanks Randy savage, you are such an incredible supporter and friend. -Brandon 🫡

It’s not a good business practice to outsource labor when you are getting American tax payer funds. It might save them money in the short term, but everyone knows that cars built in Fords Mexico plant are nowhere near as good as the ones built in the USA. There are so many other ways to cut costs, the problem is they don’t want to get uncomfortable. Think about it, workers in Mexico plant make like 7 dollars a day and yet the car price is still the same price. That’s an insane amount of profit, which okay great. But why do you need federal funding then? It’s unethical and businesses that operate that way will fail, they always do. I do agree though, the costs in the US and really the West is too high. I could tell you why but then it would be a conversation better had in person over a few drinks. Thanks for commenting Daniel. -Brandon

That’s awesome! That’s the kind of respect we need to get back to as an industry and really as a world culture. Give respect when it’s due. Thanks for sharing that my friend. If you are interested, I have a few more videos like this and the failure of American auto brands. Since it seems like you are very astute, I would love to hear your feedback on them. I hope you have a great weekend. -Brandon 🫡

I have heard this too and experienced it actually when I bought my first and second wrangler. What I’ve found is it depends on the car but if this is becoming a trend…then it’s going to backfire on them I think. They are already charging so much for the vehicles and people that are remotely inclined on getting warranties will only do so if the price comes down. Some Toyota dealers are knocking off 10-15% off MSRP on new vehicles because sales are slowing hard for certain models. It’s the only way to move the metal. I can’t imagine what sales would be like if they didn’t do that… Idk if that answers your question but I hope this practice doesn’t become the norm. Carmax and a few others are the only ones I know that don’t negotiate, but there is a reason for that. Sounds like those other dealers are trying to train customers not to negotiate too… What do you think brother? -Brandon 🫡

​@@A-BombEnergyI think it's great. Just like you mentioned buying a MacBook at Best Buy. You see the price and that's what you pay. Can't get easier than that

@@A-BombEnergy if it helps when talking about the dealer being firm on the sticker price being dependent on the car, we experienced it when my wife bought her used 2017 Ford Fusion SE from a Honda dealership a few years back and my 2015 Ford Focus ST from a Ford dealership a few months back. We both also sprung for the warranty just in case. It’s still fresh in our minds when my parents did the same for their truck and ended up getting a brand new engine for free because they sprung for the warranty. Big mistake on my part. My ST started having issues going into reverse and 2-3 people at the dealership experienced it too. When I tried claiming it on the warranty they said “it’s an ‘adjustment’, not a ‘repair’”. I just said “to heck with it” and paid it. It was “only” a few hundred bucks and I didn’t feel like fighting them over it.

Oh I wish it were so with cars and they were priced ethically…

Dang man sorry to hear about the issues you had, I know how frustrating that stuff is. I had something similar happen to my first car I ever bought and thank heavens my dad bought me a warranty and didn’t tell me. He saved my butt. How are the current rides holding up now brother? Hopefully no more issues? -Brandon

Brother I think you are really going to like the Toyota video. Sounds like you have a really good hold on Toyota and their history, which is perfect because I won’t be going over their history too much, like at all…maybe I’ll do a dedicated video in the future though. It’s crazy my dad had a Rav 4 and was upset when it died, he was mad because it got 300k ish and he said it should have gotten 500k. Do you own any Toyotas brother? I personally don’t and can’t ever see myself driving one but I can certainly give the respect and credit where it’s due. Thanks for commenting brother and it’s good to see you again. -Brandon 🫡

Hey brother, good to see you. Sounds like you are a smart guy, not buying a car from a dealership since 2008. I really think Tesla is changing the game on how cars are sold and I hope they continue to push the envelope. The dealership model is actually hurting the dealerships as well because if they had more competition, it would push them to improve. But there’s none and so they just think they can take people for a ride. Which is exactly what they’re doing. I feel bad for your coworker too, and I understand his pain. Dealerships can be intimidating because it’s a professional environment, where people are pros at reading people. Unless you do it every day, I understand why you’re intimidated. Sounds like you had a really really good dad growing up and my dad did the same thing. Looking back I think he just wanted me to change his oil in his car, but that’s OK. I still learned a lot. Even bought an old beater Honda when I was 18 just so I could learn how to take it apart and repair things. I think I will always own a car though because I am a massive enthusiast. I hear you though on the pricing in the cost of ownership. And it’s getting more expensive too. My insurance actually just went up and I don’t know why. Did yours go up? I’ve had other subscribers hit me up and tell me their insurance went up. Thanks for commenting brother and I hope you have a great week. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy mine went up last year. The excuse from the insurers was all the hurricane and fire destroyed cars.

That’s their excuse? That’s insane. I claimed property damage from this last hurricane and food loss because power outage but it wasn’t that much to warrant such a skyrocket in price. Sometimes I seriously consider just dropping it all and doing liability…is it worth it anymore? -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy I live at ground zero for hurricane Ian, there was a constant stream of tow trucks and flat beds hauling salt water flooded cars out of the barrier islands and from the Iona area for weeks. One guy I know his family lost all 5 of their cars to it, and the interior of their house destroyed. the local car dealers made a killing for months afterward, flooded with ins checks.

Guessing you are in Florida. Sorry to hear about such issues down in that area, I can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with that kind of devastation. I live in NC and we got hit hard but nothing like you guys. I bet those dealers were RAKING in the coin from that, lets just hope they didn't take advantage...but we all know the truth. -Brandon

Hey man thanks 🙏 I appreciate that. I felt so bad, but I have learned never to film or record a video when I’m tired or not in the mood. People sense it and if you fake it, it comes off disingenuous. I ALWAYS want to provide the highest quality content to you guys. Thanks for being so supportive my friend. -Brandon

Thanks brother! I’m excited to get it to you guys. Tons of research is going in this one because talking about Toyota…especially in this light, it has to be done with precision or the Mongolian hoard will come after me 😂-Brandon

Yeah brother that’s really the only way to buy cars from dealers these days. It’s like a literal battle when you go in there and you have to look at it that way. They love to play the games but you can’t play them back. I did that once and boy will I never do that again lol! And I’ve taken that test before, in SOF you get tested like crazy. I consistently score as a INTJ T. It’s like an architect and strategic thinker. Also good to see you again brother 😁 -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy INTJ's are like the top of the personality food chain followed by ENTJ. Funny how you got the T as the Identifier, LOL! You chaotic young man! Yeah, you'd be the Architect, I got the Commander, what's interesting to me is I also scored a 256 on the EIQ but my personality type is somewhat emotionally devoid. I think what it gives me however is the insane accurate ability to "size people up". I used to have my own house painting business and I sold every single bid I put out there, I was so good at closing the deal I had other contractors bring me in on deals they couldn't get signed and I close all of those too. And all I did was read the slightest changes in facial patters to determine which way to pitch my approach from. Later I realized that it doesn't matter what you're selling or what service you are providing. It wasn't that I had lower prices because I didn't. It was me they were buying, the confidence I instilled in them that I was the only man for the job who was not only going to do the work as prescribed but I would be accountable for anything that went wrong and treat them right. That is the number one intangible that if harnessed will be the biggest contributor to your success. It's not what's being sold, it's whose selling it that people buy. And I to am always glad to ear from you too, although I have no stake in anything you do. I do want for you to enjoy great success, because I know you will appreciate it and find ways to help others as well. It's getting nuts out here so I hope you are strapped up and got the situational awareness switch flipped up. And remember, while we may not be the biggest and the baddest out here. We can more than make up for it by being the meanest and the nastiest. God keep you and yours close by his side brother.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll take a look at it. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy ya like why is it that it's so difficult to find a toyota hot wheels but ford raptors, rams rebels, and chrysler PACIFICA of all cars are just so EASY to find?? But when I find a toyota it's like a shocker! And most toyotas mattel makes are old old land cruisers and vans trucks etc Once in a super blue moon you find a 2020 Tacoma. Smells like mattel is getting their pockets filled by the big three to advertise to children dog food domestic models. Excuse my French🐶🇨🇵

Oh man I was being a fatty…I hate to even admit it but I would skip breakfast and lunch and then only dinner…and that was usually a Korean BBQ bowl and a Cuban sandwich. Then two nights I ate pizza and ice cream…I did a two fast after that to clear my system lol. I might do another lol…-Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy be careful a surprise hight and weight maybe around the corner!

Haha new standards are so easy to beat, you just have to score 580 on PT test. I think I got a 585 last time. That dang ball toss gets me every time lol

Yes sir, you are 100% correct in this statement. I’m also really glad you got a good deal. Too many people are getting ripped off and I hate hearing about it. It’s always a blessing when I hear stories like yours. How many miles does your KIA have? I love Asian cars, I’ll never own one but they are easily some of the best out there. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy Around 23k, bought it with 18k. Put 6k miles on it in 2 months because it’s so fun to drive. How come you won’t ever own an Asian car? I’ve also seen that you own a few Jeeps, always thought they were cool as hell. It’s a shame what’s happening to the brand

Thats a lot of miles for 2 months! Wow! You must be having a blast driving it, my friend has one and he LOVES it. I won't ever own an Asian car because they just don't do it for me unfortunately. They are super reliable but I'll admit and they are changing how they do business when it comes to style/flare. Many of the ones i've driven were just boring to me and didn't fit my style. However, it sounds like your Forte GT is rocking and rolling and maybe I need to look into it. My current daily is a BMW M340i and I like you have a blast every time I drive it. Still have my jeeps though, won't ever get a new one though because what they are doing to the brand. Always a pleasure my friend. -Brandon

Thank you my friend, and I love your support. It’s ALWAYS a pleasure reading comments from you guys. -Brandon

@@A-BombEnergy you are the best
