You being sad has nothing to do with the fact that they're human and everything to do with the fact that they're your special human. Just like why I love my car has nothing to do with the fact that it's a car and everything to do with the fact that it's my special car"

      I bought my first car ('84 Volvo 242 Turbo) and my dad drove it back from Cali to New Hampshire for me in 2001. I joined the military and drove it around the whole time. I blew the motor and it ended up sitting for 10 years making several moves. Over the last few years I've done a full rotisserie restoration and 1000hp LS swap. We both turn 40 this year. I've had it in my life more years than not. It's irreplaceable to me.

    I know how you feel, brotha. In my teens, I decided to purchase a WRX once I was older. That was back in 2000. 2022 comes around. I'm debt free, financially stable, and the doors open. I purchased a Brand Spanking New 2022 Limited Red WRX with 4 miles on it. Right off the dealership sales floor. STI short shifter stock.
    4 months later, 1 week after its 1st oil change. 3012 miles later, a GMC Sierra at 5 am on my way to work, T bones me and leaves me for dead. I was non responsive for 10 days. March 21,2024, marks 1 yr since the accident.
    My 22 WRX Gone. 31k in damages. The car I dreamed of I only got to enjoy for 4 months.
    Dude got away with murder. He got a ticket. That's it. No lawyer could do anything for me because I live in a no-fault state. The guy literally killed me. It's a miracle I'm alive today. He caused 31k in damages. Over 1 million dollars in hospital bills. Left me in a wheelchair. Almost paralyzed me for life. And he gets away with it. 0 accountability.
    I'm happy to say that today I'm walking again. Due to therapy and rehab. I live a life of pain. My WRX was stick. So my left ankle was destroyed. Today, 2 plates and 15 screws later, I can't run, skip, jump, or leap yet. It'll take time for all that. My road to recovery will take time.
    My dude, I totally understand the feeling of wanting something. Work day and night to obtain it. Blood, sweat, and tears. Finally, grasp it. And within seconds, it's all gone.
    Now it's the uphill journey to get it all back. First, my health and abilities that we all take for granted. Walking, eating, taking a shower, swimming, fending for 1 self. I lost it all, yet 80% of it I gained in less than 1 year.
    Possibly in 3 years, I'll get her back. Eventually, I will. That's what heavyweight fighters do. We win heavyweight fights.
    In the near future, I'll have my WRX back. In the same way, you'll get your 240 back.

      @beratsbuilds Life is about fighting. At least for me, it has always been a battle. I'm grateful for those individuals who never had to worry a day in their life. Unfortunately, there are some of us who woke up, and every day, we had to encounter a gang, someone trying to hold you up at gun point, your life constantly at risk, one way or another.
      When you live such life, trust me, you have lots of dreams. Staying alive till 18. Making out the hood and becoming educated. Enough to reach the unreachable.
      It really bothered me to listen to his story because I come from that life of struggle. Then, to actual amount to something in society, gain the status you work so hard for. Then the moment comes. Man, it's the Happiest day in the world.
      Then some Scrub decided to steal that which you worked so hard for. We're talking about endless hours. All it takes is 1 irresponsible action. Then, that which you worked so hard for is Gone.
      Then, the uphill battle starts again. Beratsbuilds, I highly appreciate the words of encouragement. I'll never stop fighting or dreaming big. Life is way too short to cry over that which has been lost.
      Our character is tested daily. Life always challenges you in order to find out how much fight you have in you. Will your character break, or will it become stronger?
      I had to fight to make it back. I thank God for giving me a second chance to live and be me. I'll continue fighting. I encourage everyone who's lost at something and suffered to continue moving forward.
      Once you hit rock bottom. Up is the only way left.

This guy literally killed me. If not for a machine breathing for me. I was a dead man. To the point that on day 6, they asked my family to brace themselves to make hard choices. Meaning unplug me. Thank goodness on day 7, I finally showed signs of brain activity. My sister saw the guy. She said all he had was a bump on his forehead. If not for (BCBS), Blue Cross Blue Shield, I would be well over 1 million dollars in debt. If not for my benefits, where would I be. No therapy, no funds for medication or appointments. I wouldn't have been seen by the best specialist. I would still be in a wheelchair. 2-4cm away from being paralyzed or crippled for life. Awful! Broken nose, jaw, c1 c6 fracture, 2 ribs fractures, punctured lung, 2 fractures wrists, 4 surgeries on my left leg, 2 plates, and 16 screws in my left leg. I literally live in pain. I'm still broken. I lost all my strength, grip, conditioning, stamina, endurance, etc. A hobbling wreck. That's my uphill battle. This has been my biggest challenge yet. Terrible. If I had enemies, I wouldn't wish it upon them. Worst experience of my life. However, I'm extremely fortunate, blessed, favored, to be alive.

      Dammn I went through basically the exact same scenario in my early 20s I was a technician at a Lincoln dealership a customer traded in a c5 Corvette that only had 50k miles on it in 2015 I took it a couple days later roughly 5 or 6 months later tboned at an intersection woke up a day later, car was damn near split in half. Guy that called insurance company when I told I wasnt taking responsibility for nothing I didn't see a person police nothing, he told me you guys with these damn sports think you run shit. Smh only good thing that came was the manager over the used car department slipped a GAP insurance policy in with the financing without telling me because he knew 24yr old me would've turned it down. Crazy to hear that a story so similar happened to you. Took me a while to ever get back behind the wheel of a sports after my dream car almost became my coffin

    Small world man, I live in Colorado but did some work in Bakersfield, Cali. I met some guys who were buddies with that Prius owner. You probably know this already, but it's rocking a Ford Barra engine now. I never knew he had a 1JZ in it before.
    I just finished the video, I'm sorry for your loss brother. People suck... I have a 1985 300ZX I picked up for $300 from knocking a random door in New Mexico. I'm about 50 hours deep into rebuilding the engine. An immense amount of blood, sweat, and tears go into reviving these older cars that were once destined for a scrapyard. I don't know what I would do if someone stole my Z when it's all said and done. Money can buy back another car, but there is no replacement for that connection you built while building your car. I wish you the best man. All we can do is be the change we want to see in our society and hope for the best.

My car was also appraised at 7500 bucks, they only gave me 4k, I’d kill to have that car back man😭

    I went through the same thing, but I live in Brazil, and cars here are incredibly more expensive. Since I lost mine (and found it scrapped) I planned and created a theft prevention system, unfortunately I can't share this, because the biggest asset of a system like this is just knowing how it works. In case everything goes wrong, there is a secondary system that is fatal, and this was the one that took me the most time to develop, as I had to think of all the possible variables to prevent it from shooting at me or my family.

    So great to see someone so young, having worked so hard for something only to have it stolen, come out the other end of that experience with such a positive attitude. That mentality… it will serve you well throughout your life. Sorry you went through that (I, too, had the same experience many years back), but again, your mindset is admirable.

      I also wonder if he'd ever added mods like a kill switch or something that cuts off the gas pump. If he had the money to be putting that much into it he should've added mods that give thieves a hard time while also having maybe a tracking device of sort if he has to actually put his car outside. Like I know adding these mods doesn't necessarily guarantee his car will not get stolen again but it should give enough time to either know your car is getting stolen or make them give up eventually.

    I feel your pain, my mom’s car got stolen it was a Acura RDX the whole bumper and the front was destroyed to the point you can see the medal frame of the bumper and only a bit of foam. You could only see one headlight the other on was gone and the left side was destroyed to the to the rear of it. The inside the air bag was popped and mostly all the parts were just ripped out. I only got the A-spec logo of the cause because the cars behind were parked in trees. We did spent a lot of money. My mom had night shifts so that’s where it was stolen. I’m just grateful that my mom didn’t try to stop them cause they had two guns. My family wasn’t sad we still enjoyed life. That car was really fast cause it had sport mode on it and another sport mode that makes it super fast I think it was called Sports XS mode. It was stolen June 19 and recovered on July 19 I’m sure. Thank you god for keeping my family safe.

    Growing up my father used to to dump so much money into cars that he genuinely liked & there would always be a hater , he use to have 3 vw’s (mk2golf, mk3 cabrio & mk1 golf) one golf was hit while parked& totaled, they left the scene. The other golf was stolen & the cabrio kept getting the soft top cut & stuff stolen out of it. He stopped project cars all together. It sucks cause I remember the smile he use to have whenever something would come in the mail or he’d complete something on those cars. He’s still happy these days but I haven’t seen him smile like that since his project car days.

But yes the engine didn’t work. Whole pandemic I sorted it perfect learnt so much. Spent ages on it. I remember my first sketchy drive too even recorded a vid.
    Planned to save a put a v10, n55/n54 or even a v8 in it. It never ran 100% perfect but when I had it at its best no Christmas tree dash. 2days later someone hit into it wrote it off. I’m grown, but I even cried that day. The car symbolised time and effort and work hard.
