RICER MIATA Chris Rudnick - past present and future

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2022
- @RicerMiata sits down with us and tells us all about his past, present, and future. What he does on his channel, gives us story time, tells us how he hates Haggard Garage, blah blah blah. I just want to say thank you very much to him for taking the time to chat with us, and do some trailer work for me with my S14 drift car on drift week! I didn't realize the Haggard Garage TH-cam channel appears to have been taken down or something, does anyone know what is up with that. I never watched it or know anything about it since I was just always a drifter influenced by Option Videos and other stuff.

Chris is a solid dude. You can tell he was raised right. I'm glad to see him finding his own way and not surrounded by assholes that wanna use him.
How many days bro is little willy at now? 🤣😂
@@xdirtycurtyx1155 came here to ask the same thing. We all family even if we are total strangers
OK lmaoo
@@adamstilldrives facts 💯
@@Justinhomii you obviously don't know... it's ok buddy... we welcome new comers to...
This guy clearly didnt expect Chris to answer these questions so positively. I dont understand why the questions had to be so backhanded. Chris is an inspiration for people to keep pushing forward even if sometimes you fail. He never let a blown motor or a dishonest friendship stop him. He always had fun with him and his friends no matter what they were doing.
out of all the car youtubers this guy seems to be the most genuine
Uh..Adam Lz Jimmy Oaks Cleetus WHISTLINDIESEL Diesel Brothers ..the most no...one of eh..sure.
Chris has no filter. I love it. Just says it
He's one of the best in my opinion! Love this dude go subscribe
I've been watching him since haggard. He is
Chris is a good dude.
Excited to see Chris start doing comp stuff!
Yoooo! wassup taylor
Dang, Taylor spreading positivity throughout TH-cam.
T-Ray for president!
Agreed
Hey, the real Taylordrift. Rofl
Watched him for the last 7 years good lad kids been through some shit and he's still always smiling
We've had a bunch of good laughs over the years thats for sure, will getting hurt is always gold. I'll never forget the time he got pole axed on the golf cart at Adams haha.
100% got me and a buddy into cars i owe so much to. him
Felt like you were trying to attack him the whole time but he’s just so genuine and nice they bounce right off him.
Yea I 100% agree man
Because he was the guys an ass hole he needs to rethink how he does these interviews and how he questions our guys n gals
Man, you're speaking the truth. Chris handled it like a champ, I'll bet we won't see another interview.
His questions were so annoying
I'm so proud of him! Maybe he'll be a role model for other people about how to handle negative situations once they smooth over enough to be on to the next thing. People beat a dead horse into the ground so much. Like they're not even focusing on the fact that he's having an amazing come up. I lost my best friend in a horrible situation where I was at present when dirt was thrown. He taught me everything about cars I related that towards him and Tom. Crazy they ended up the same way! Cars are about expressing yourself as much as they are about racing or making them better.
It amazes me how chris doesn't understand how interesting his whole story is, he is a super interesting person with a crazy interesting past
Dude he needs to do a pod cast
When you try look at it from his perspective, he was just a poor kid from a small town with a group of highschool friends doing questionable mods on cars that probably shouldnt have even been on the road.
Its abit easier to see why hes so humble about his story.
He's too humble, he just sees himself as some dood but doesn't realize he's the dood who helped get alot of kids into cars.
Say interesting more
@@viktorhardindyrvold4234 it's interesting how someone saying something is interesting is enough to piss someone off enough to comment on a random youtube comment......... that's really interesting.......
Ruddy was one of the highlights of Haggard Garage and really helped make the channel. Always comes off as a happy, good-hearted guy and he really deserves his success.
He was the channel, it sucked without him. And went by by.
@@brentforte5950 Nah, they each had their own part of what made haggard garage what it was.
And they all had reasons why the channel failed
Unfortunately I haven’t had the pleasure of watching the old old haggard garage. I started watching when they did that massive burnout in the garage of the house they were moving out of.
Anyway I can find um? All the haggard videos are gone.
Side note, what happened to cam? He deleted his TH-cam and never heard from him since
@@kalanisarpi4731 this person as a few og haggard vids uploaded -- www.youtube.com/@brightsidedavis1279/videos
@@kalanisarpi4731 www.youtube.com/@haggardgarage5217/videos
Thats like only 1/4 of the og haggard stuff. Youll find the rest here
www.youtube.com/@YiataMan/videos
Can still find Orion doing dumb shit on the "Life Od" channel with his newest friend group
Not sure what happened to Cam recently, i started to follow him when he started posting on this channel th-cam.com/users/CamCurriervideos
But it was also only about 6 months ago that Cam sold his bmw to Ruddy so it seems hes given up on the whole youtube thing
Aaron keeps trying to go negative, but you can’t bring Ruddy down 🤘🏻 The kid is genuine class.
Hes an asshole man hes done this with a few other guys aswell
It seemed a bit like an interrogation, Ruddy handled it well though.
@@GL0BETREKKER right...nobody can figure out why he was talking to him like that
Seriously Aaron needs to take it easy with this 100% Function over form influence the world stance.
The thumbnail is very clickbaity and slander. There are quotes that didn't even come out of Chris's mouth. Smh.
Rudnik is so genuine. I remember the haggard Days and the fire that was wild
Thanks for Ruddy's spotlight.. I'm a 49 year old motor head, and I do watch all the auto toobers, but I will admit watchin' ruddy over the last four years has been an absolute pleasure, many laughs and gut wrenching defeats. All in the growth of a young kids aspirations of being someone.. he is himself genuinely and this has him ranked as my favorite toober, for entertainment.
If I want camaraderie and family vibes I watch Jimmy oakes, for top of the line Apex celebrity status I watch Adam LZ.
for info, specs and highlights I watched Chen. for info, comps, highlights and interviews I like lone star drift (thanks for drift week by the way)...for japanese content I watch Sammit, for AU. Shenanigans it's got to be Fink... and Ireland content and 86 stuff I watch drift games, juice box. Among many others, TJ, DJnoway, Taylor, Chelsea, the hoonagans, cleetus, etc. Etc. But all that said I think Ruddy is my favorite toober.. 👍 thanks for the interview..
Yes, I am one of those old guy motor head. Been a mechanic most of my life, had my first car at 11. I have been watching Ruddy for quite a few years now. His channel has been through some ups and downs, But he still sticks with it and try's to do things better. Sometimes, I just want to help him by informing him that there is a better way to do things.
bro i feel like you just named off my sub list ha
If you're interested in the aussie content a suggestion for the next up and coming Australian toober, Rex H, very humble kind of guy working out of his home garage with his mates.
@@moneybag7559 I'll have a look brother..
Keep it Reet . )Worth a look boys. Another Aussie drifter number 2 in Australia. Funny as also . oooffff 🤙
The tremble and nervousness in Chris’ voice in the beginning showed his nervousness to just speak the truth. You can also see him feel attacked by the questions. Maybe the person asking questions should have done some research before hand. But as he got comfortable you can see him open up like a book. This was great as an OG haggard fan.
Chris is the only person that when I watch his videos, I genuinely feel like I’m talking to a friend in my inner circle. He treats everyone like family and with respect, and just wants to enjoy the whips. His luck has been shitty in a lot of ways but it makes him relatable to the average guy. Good guy Ruddy
The fact that he's still humble about tommy even after everything he's done just shows what kind of person Chris is
Damn. That “old friend tommy” line hit different :(
Look at Rudy go man. Let’s please get this man to 500k. He definitely deserves it.
bro has been at 400k for a while hasn’t he?since he was in florida ?
Yesss!!
@@jaidenharrison5846 Dudes channel is dying slowly
Starts like a glove! watching haggard garage religiously in high school, to then never missing a ruddy video since him starting his TH-cam channel, I have always love supporting his journey, awesome guy with an amazing vocabulary 😂
I bet he still can't hold a fish without terror
Chris is one of the realist OG automotive TH-camrs!
Yep!!
Thanks for interviewing Ruddy . Literally my hero in life . As funny as that sounds he has taught me so much . Not even about cars but about self confidence and taking the best out of a bad situation and just being a genuine person will enable you to live a much happier life
I’ve went through some deep depressions and one thing I always knew I could depend on was Chris posting and adding some positivity to my life . For that I thank you for simply being you
facts dawg hes done for so many of us and he don't even know
💯
He is THE goat when it comes to this TH-cam stuff
Don’t know the interviewer but he seemed like he was getting very hung up on negative topics or has some sort of issue with Chris. When he isn’t getting the answer he wants he just asks to the question again or rephrased it like a police officer. Also interrupts and argues with Chris. Ive never seen an interview like this before… Good on rud for not getting heated🤟🏻dude deserves a good interview.
I appreciated that he apologized for digging into the haggard stuff but right after tries to throw blame at him for others actions again😂
Chris is going to be a massive success. Plain and simple. Keep having fun and being genuine dude. I’ll keep watching it all unfold.
I agree bro!!
Respectfull how Rudy describes Tom like a dad
I randomly ran into him in a sushi train when he was in Australia, the dude was a legend! He was really humble and genuinely stoked to run into a fan.
I am only at 16:58 of the video at the moment and i just wanted to say you can hear the hurt in rudnicks voice and i just wanted to say i am glad he's staying positive and getting through it and being the best that he can be with his life and just enjoying the ride as he goes. (if you happen to read this chris i and i am sure many others are proud of you keep being you)
Why so many jabs ? Ruddy has make leaps and bounds since the haggard days ! I've watched him since the haggard LEXUS vids .... And I just wanted to say this it's not a TH-camrs fault for anyone's choices in life.. what someone does is on them so next time ask more questions about HIM and not continuously trying to accuse him of being irresponsible and "Making" People do silly stuff to they're cars and go broke ... This was a good interview aside from the wierd questions about things other people are doing that he doesn't even know. Ruddys an OG when are people going to start giving him recognition and respect for the dedication hes had to his veiwers still after like 7-8 years he is STILL my favorite person to watch on TH-cam!
Underrated comment. 100% agree. Have also been watching since the early haggard days. Best thing Chris ever did was start his own channel. I subbed and pretty much stopped watching haggard other than trying to check in with the highlights
Aaron, is kinda an asshole. I mean he does this to alot of drivers..seems to talk down to other drivers and people that may not be "on the same level" as him
Interesting questions around that. Little critical in some ways...
Yeah interviewer is weird
I can completely agree with everything this comment said. I thought i was the only one that noticed Aaron targeting Chris the whole time with that same questions. Unsubscribing to Aaron channel after the video
Good old Rudnik you gotta love him man. I remember the old haggard days I was there from the beginning so nostalgic.
Me too man crazy how far Ruds came an the journey him an other automotive TH-camrs have been on
"a friend, well.. my old friend now, tommy" man it sucks so much to hear that but at the same time glad ruddy is moving away from that situation.
Man, Haggard Garage. I was into cars and drifting really young but around 5/6th grade I discovered the channel, when they were doing the turbo protege build, absolutely skyrocketed my love for cars and drifting and I’m now turning that into my career. I have a lot to thank for haggard and Rudnik
Same lmao. I was in 7th grade. That car was what got me watching me them. Made me wanna WORK on cars. Not just own and drive um
I'm glad he was honest about how much influence Tommy had on him even if it ended badly. Neither of them would be where they are right now if they hadn't met at the kent chop shop
Chris deserves more love - never lose your legitimate and sincere attitude bro, never be the advantage that's taken of you - stay a pupil
, teach by example, and watch the waves - love you man, best of luck!
Have followed Chris from the beginning and he is always the most interesting channel to watch, he may not have the most expensive builds compared to others but he is not afraid to get his hands dirty and I like the fact you see the fuck ups. Seeing his early builds and now to his high quality builds really shows how he is amusing but he's still the funny guy you can see being in your friend group and everyone hangs with
Chris and his story has been seriously slept on in the community he’s been around longer than almost anyone and he’s been screwed around and deserves the best
Chris, great job giving Tommy his credit! I honestly hope you two can sit down when the time is right.
“Old friend Tommy” 😢
Out of all the TH-cam people, Chris comes across as the most genuine person that actually respects and super appreciates his fan base…..the content isn’t as polished as others but that also keeps him super relatable
Aaron, you don't know how much this video means to me! It's like my universes have collided. Haggard got me into cars as a teenager. I was the same age as them and I discovered the channel one summer break. I followed Chris ever since. They got me into drifting... And in turn, I found Lone Star Drift! Both of you have been incredible influences on my car journey. I even met you at a Club Loose event and you took notice of my crappy Lexus GS. I'll never forget the experience I had and I hope to get back into it soon. You guys freaking ROCK!
This dude seems like he’s Lowkey trynna throw shots, lil shady, but ruddy always holding it down. He too humble
Ct boys for the win
Yessir Country Boys for the Win 🏆
Hey rudnik, out of the ‘drifting’ channels. What I love seeing is the progression. I watched LZ in his cream 13 learning a corner and progressing. I’d happily watch you progress from fucking up over and over to nailing something. I love seeing progression and personal achievements
Rudnick is a wholesome guy, but nobody is copying Chris's builds, what people learn from his cahnel is what not to do.
😂 Perfect! I agree Chris is a good genuine guy but I still facepalm and don’t watch all of his vids sometimes because stand the dumb stuff he does sometimes (err most times)
@@42green I watch because of the dumb stuff he says sometimes 😂
Come on, the hardcore fans at least have a few forza creations of his Miata’s 😂
him talking about Tommy made me a bit sad.
Between the attitude from the guy asking the questions to the guy answering the questions I can 100% see why Ricer Miata has way more subs then Lone Star Drift
Sooo it all started from a freacking Diamond Camo!
If ya know ya know lol
Ruddy is a true positive influence on the community, in his own unique way. Most genuine dude.
rudnik deserves so much more recognition man hes been my favorite youtuber in the car scene for years now
I started watching Ruddy just around near the end of haggard days. Been a journey and a half but I still watch and enjoy most vids. Cheers fellas!
Man, it broke my heart when he caught himself and said "old friend" about Tommy. I sincerely hope they find their way back to each other. I've followed Ruddy since the Haggard days, and Tommy since the chop shop days. They were a good duo. Really sad to see their friendship end.
What a weird ass energy in this interview. And 100% not from Rudnik.
..you aaron is an asshole. Not the first time he has done this to other drivers or youtubers
Agreed
He doesn't understand Rudniks style of making content at all.
I really appreciate how Ruddy does his own thing, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. In basically every instance, he means well and just wants to help everyone have a good time. Even the infamous Acura fire was rooted in him wanting to help Will experience the same joy that he finds in cars.
At first I thought this felt more like an interrogation but after continuing to watch, Aaron’s just trying to get to know Chris more and more…and hearing this side of Chris is nice.. he needs for sure to be on a podcast.. his story can go on a lot longer. He’s a great fuvkin dude and such a nice guy. He’s like this in person too…
Great video!!!!!
I feel like we can all relate to ole ruddy more than anyone on the tube. What a good dude
I am glad to see Ruddy maturing. He is such a kind person. The way he handled Matt after the drifting crash was very touching. His mom raised him right.
Mat got a totally different treatment than Parkus Marks did
“My old friend tommy” 💔
I thought I was the only one 🥲
When did he say that?
@@LordFarrquaad @13:18
Tommys gange I could tell a while ago by his character and his attitude is about getting a bag by any means whether its legit or not
I’ve been watching since he branched from haggard and started his own channel and he is still my favorite youtuber. Such a genuine dude
Ruddy is one of the good things to come out of early Haggard days. I’m glad he’s doing good and is successful. Way to go Ruddy!
So stoked to have you in my life now Christopher! Super excited for the future!
"My frie... my old friend Tommy"
Damn...
It sucks Chris has had so many "friends" who only care about their own personal gain in his life. Thats why when I watch Jimmy Oakes videos, they are awesome, he is constantly trying to support his friends move up in life.
I've followed Chris from the very beginning of haggard garage until present day, the realness and humbleness and not scared to show his flaws or mistakes makes him awesome to watch. yea hes not making any super badass cars and all that but thats not why we watch. hes genuine and relatable. there's 100 other youtubers out there that do all these crazy builds in their big nice shops with a whole mechanic team and they just copy each other and it gets repetitive. not knocking any of them cause i still watch but chris just brings something else to the table. and most of the guys i watch i actually found through Chris. the Connecticut boys are killing it right now but Chris is hands down the one i look for when i jump on the tube.
damn the way he talked about tommy. that just feels bad
16:35 😂😂 “i’ve never really been a normal human” ☠️
chris handled the interview well, aaron was grilling him the whole time
very weird vibes when they talked about the LZ Invitational, very weird
Been watching Rud since day 1. I have never missed a video of his. He has totally helped me in my life in such a positive direction. I love how genuine this kid is. His attitude, his integrity, hes so relateable. He’s so easy to watch because I know if I ever met him, he would be so chill… chug a beer and bullshit. No fake shit.
Cant agree more bro!!
Chris Rudnik is GOLD, he deserves everything he got and more
Always motivating his friends, he's a good influence.
Don't change Chris!
Chris gives me so much inspiration to make content and enjoy working on my cars. Sounds like such a genuine dude
Been watching Chris for many years since he had a purple civic coupe that didn’t even have a starter. Cool dude always keeps his head up, despite the drama.
Having followed rudnik for almost 7 years, this interview made me think back. All the things me and friends did because of haggard garage. Crazy to see how time flies
Same thing bro!!!
I didn't expect Chris to be the same off camera as on camera, but tbh he's a really good guy and exactly the same IRL. I stood corrected, great guy.
been watchin chris for like 5 years or more and love how real he is
It’s been good to see rudnick grow and see where he is headed.Keep going.I remember being hyped that ricer Miata channel started.
Rudnik and his channel are so genuine he's almost like family. So many of us have watched him for Years!
Go Rudnik!! Years of success and more to come!
Wow, all these stories really bring it back. It's crazy how quickly time rolls on, but he has evolved so much
props for having chris on, hes one of the realest. been following him since the first day haggard posted and all the way through. truly one of the best/ most interesting stories in the whole youtube car scene
Bruh!!! Yeah Ive been following him too since the haggard and subway days!!! He seems like a great guy!!!
Really enjoyed watching Chris tell his story. He's gonna live a great life because he's genuine and has a great heart.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 love it! He always crack me up can’t wait to see you shred a lot more love the vibes
I appreciate this. Rudnik is such a good dude. Been through some bs in life and now is making it big in life.
Damn, this is pretty good, should do these often with other drivers across the globe
And as for the whole content side of things, watching a youtuber base all their content simply on one particular topic doe's become repetitive, great to see many branch out and mix it up alil, colabs, car feature's on others vehicle's and interview's such as this, day in the life etc.. really keep's thing's interesting
I love this dude. He's been through all the shit. followed him all the way from the start.
I gotta try and catch up with him since he's so close lmao.
I cant wait to see what's next. GL bro.
Great vid man!
Don't know bout this interviewer but I was here for you Rudnik, followed you from the haggard days, but tbh not as much these days, need to check you out again more often! Much love dude! Keep doing what you do!
Chris is such a mentor to me because you always see the genuine aspect of his life
What a horrible interview. I keep sensing this from Aaron for some time now watching his youtuber "interviews", but I feel like he resents or has some negative feelings regarding "youtubers". His path wasn't the same as the massive success Adam, Jimmy Oakes, and Chris but that's not their fault.
I didn't appreciate him putting Chris on the spot, you can see him get uncomfortable. He kinda shit on him (shamed him) on what he/they did 7+ years ago. Kids are replicating Adam's Z, who cares. He could've brought it up once but he doubled down again and I like how Chris as humble as he is defended himself and said I've evolved and now I'm doing things that people can be stoked about. Kids will be kids and they were literally kids. This interview was rough to be honest, the first 25 minutes are definitely not laid back and easy going. Feels like Chris was being grilled by a Karen. At 21 minutes in he's still pressing Chris on influence its like damn give it a rest dude. The entire drift culture is doing sketchy and dangerous shit since it's inception in Japan. I think Aaron's vibe comes from a place of envy.
100%
Thank you...hands down !
Aaron's a muppet
Agreed. Chris is anxious and a little Shakey, interviews are supposed to be comfortable and relaxed
Great to get a Ruddy episode, he’s doing some great stuff and his content is always reasonably relatable, a lot of respect for what he does
My favorite one of these you’ve ever done I’ve been watching Chris since day one since I was 15
Chris Ricenick, the goofiest car guy on driftweek
been watching ruddy from the start and will continue to do so
i’ve been watching chris since the beginning like prolly 12k haggard subs and he underplayed that car on fire story so much that was insane when that happened hahahaha! he’s come so far and downplays himself he seems like such a genuine person who’s helped (and made) a few careers for sure
Chris is a awesome guy, been watching his channel for years and have absolutely loved it. Hope he just keeps on keeping on because he's defiantly going places.
I've watched Chris since the haggard days and he's never changed. Always been a hoot to watch. Cheers man!
Rudknuckle is my favorite influencer by far. Everything he does is 1000% genuine and he does what he does to please him, not anyone else. Much love ruddy. And thank you for doing this interview. 🤙
Chris is definitely genuine and good hearted!!
i honestly see chris as a older friend of mine, since i've been watching him since the og haggard days (i was like 14 and had no knowledge of cars and as time progressed thanks to him i learned a SHITLOAD of stuff and am in the process of building a touge weapon mk4 golf gti, since its the cheapest good platform here in europe. e36's are getting mad expensive here) and i really liked his personality. the australia/nz vids were absolutely insane, my fav probably wasn't even the drifting, it was the rotorua luge vid hehe. keep doing your thing chris we luv u
One of the best TH-camrs out there. Solid guy and entertaining as hell. You always feel like part of the crew watching g a ricer Miata video. Treats his friends well and cranks out fire content. Ruddy and the gang will show you the truth of car repair and mods. Watch Wills BMW video if you're thinking about rebuilding a BMW engine he will show you the truth of what you have to deal with.
Man rudnick is a respectable guy even after all the drama his gone through he doesn’t have a bad thing to say about anybody so cool
That's the reason why I like watching Chris channel he just seems authentic all the time
Much love Ruddy, good job man, keep doing you.
Rudnick really is the best TH-camr.
Down to earth, wholesome, honest, realistic & brings his friends with him!
Ruddy is a Good Lad. I’m glad y’all were able to sit him down for this hahaha
i have been waiting for this i have a miata because of him hes huge to me im proud rodnock
Been watching rudnick for over 6 years now. Funniest channel
I love Rudnik. So much good memories... All the videos
