- @jimmyoakes shares his stories with us about how he got started, why he drifts, why he came to the Adam LZ event, stuff like that. Thanks for showing us your S13 240SX, thanks for having fun with us and entertaining the crowd, nice to see you again!

Jimmy is a humble dude that he doesn’t want to acknowledge that him and all the east coast guys are carrying the car community on TH-cam
Facts, between him, lz, ricer miata and Tommy f yeah and probably even others I’m not as aware of they really do carry it. TJ has went downhill and all the other west coast guys all just try to copy each other. Item b up in the north east though and a few others are pretty good. More Skids had a really good thing going for awhile but the glory days unfortunately are gone because they never truly blew up and moistboys is very underrated if you don’t know about them. They’re really or were I guess in terms of the skids boys were holding down the north west side of things.
@@SaabStory636 Quentyn and DJ are amazing people, I love their channel and have met them in person multiple times. They're channel just never gained the traction they were looking for it to and it sucks.
However, spreading the name of smaller channels like they are is a good way to help those channels not suffer the same fate. I reccomend you check out I'm Joel. His videos are very in depth and personable and the car is sick. I learn a lot on his channel.
Taylor Ray also deserves mentioning.
The best part about Jimmy is he knows every inch of a car now, after years of learning the hard way and being stubborn and wanting to know how everything on a car worked, so he didn't have to look up guides to fix something, he can just fix it by experience, His story he told recently on LZs podcast of how he got into Tuning was a perfect expample.
@@joshc9846 I’m a fan of his too, e30 build is crazy
@@joshc9846 I wish I could meet them, they were so down to earth in the videos and cool
Jimmy is by miles my favorite TH-camr. He’s so humble and all of his content he creates feels “attainable” which Is cool for the average car guy to watch. Just a dude building cool cars himself and learning as he goes
+1
Exactly!! Jimmys channel is the one channel that I watch and check for every single day... The vibes are the best and seeing him and the crew is just super cool.
Also now that DJ is making videos all the time it's like the whole other opposite of the vibes from the crew... For sure some of the coolest channels on YT.
Lone star's videos be like: *We gona wrap it up* and then another 40 minutes of interview.
Jimmy is my Number 1 inspiration to start a channel and media business revolving the car scene and drifting 🤙🏾🖤
Great interview Aaron! Next time you bring Adam to Ebisu you should have Jimmy tag along. Would make for some awesome content!
That would be fucking awesome. Ebisu really helped Adam. Would love to see how much it would help Jimmy. The ultimate seat time. Him and Adam would tandem for days, literally.
Love Jimmy and his Mom is the best
Thank you for interviewing Jimmy O!!!
Nice shout outs to Taylor Ray!!!
Great job with a huge event that turned out so well
years for sure. i'm 3 years into my 180sx build and the pandemic made it incredibly hard to get anything. waited 12 months for tail lights to come in. Jimmy is right come for the cars and stay for everything else. i enjoy the content around the car life almost more then the driving.
Keep doing the interviews man its wicked to see everyone talking about the culture they are creating.
100% agree with what jimmy said about coming for the cars, staying for the personality. The cars are cool but the people behind them make them come alive and build the community
Take Jimbo to Japan.
Jimmy da coolest! Them CT boys got the car and TH-cam game on a lock! Love it
Jimmys coupe is so beautiful and sounds amazing!! 😮💨 jimmy build my s13!!!
Ive never met jimmy but he feels like a close friend.
Jimmy is probably the most genuine TH-camr out there, I remember watching his very first videos of his LS swap in the 300zx even though he only uploaded like once every couple months 😅 definitely glad he has grown, well deserved
God jimmy is such a vibe. Litterally humble to the point of getting awkward even though he runs one of the best car channels on youtube
Jimmy is soo humble when you meet him. im happy i came out to e-town. the whole gang is dope
I see Adam as a hype beast in the car community sadly I used to watch him but he didn’t know much, I follow jimmy now he shows and teaches everything “he” has learned I respect that
Everything she owns is loud he says. That's a big compliment from Jimmy. Keep it up Collette
it's really cool hearing about how people come into youtube and how. Also cool how they think of themselves (in a good way) and thought processes through their career.
Aaron is very forthcoming where Jimmy is a tad more reserved. It was great to watch Jimmy on LZ podcast, now this is the cherry on top.
Jimmy is the best all around automotive vlog style TH-camr it’s not even close
I would definitely say I’m part of the generation where TH-cam is the new cable tv, and TH-camrs are the people that I look up to. Even though I’ve only met him in person a few times, Jimmy Is 100% one of my favorite humans. Just a genuinely good dude building cool cars with his friends
I can attest to that. I literally don't even have cable installed anymore. Grew up on TH-cam and that's pretty much how I've learned English . Here in Hungary, most people into the culture just simply don't have the funds to support this lifestyle. A lot of the rest is just flex. For that I feel like we're kinda behind so it's entertaining and super inspiring to follow the East Coast scene.
This is great! I love getting to hear Jimmy's journey 🔥🔥🔥
What jimmy should have said about the 5 year comment was TUNING!! My god jimmy you’ve came such a long way. Dude your like me one of them guys who don’t know how we look to the general public but we’re on our way in our own lanes! But jimmy’s progress with his builds and tuning are gonna be his niche in 5 years not his amount of cars or builds!! It’ll be what he does with them mark my words! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Greetings from Southwest Texas 🇺🇸 Great interview with Jimmy I've been following him for about 3 years the crew he has in his friends around the shop. It's in the future to have the All-Star of Drift Week and Drift Masters get together and have a event in Japan with their All-Star Drift Crew of legendary drivers to their new school. Because you know when you have American cars in Japan with American drivers it is going to be unreal and then to add European drivers to the mix with their cars is going to take the drift community into the big boys playground and keep taking steps to making it a world wide LZ event ×100% this will get Jimmy out of the shop. Keep up the hard work on these amazing interviews thank you Arron
great interview! Jimmy and the CT homies are a blast to watch.
All around nice guy with good knowledge on these cars. That's why i was drawn to Jimmy's channel. Great Interview.
Very cool. ant wait for more. Jimmy is rad man
Love Jimmy and his crew!!
Love Jimmy's car. I keep wondering if Dave Egan's after telling him how much Jimmy's build inspired his S13 build
Jimmy's such a cool guy. Great to see him thrashing the S13
So I finally got to meet Jimmy at the event and considering we talk on IG all the time he was exactly as expected. Aaron said he's in full work mode, and I actually saw him getting in his car and said "Hi Aaron!" And instead of a "hey" *drive off* he stopped and was like "Hey! How are you? Good? That's great. Are you having fun? Thank you for coming out man, it means a lot" and it actually threw me off because he was literally busy af and stopped to talk. Haha
Aaron I think you have some of the best interview questions of anyone I've ever watched on TH-cam. I feel like they could be their own channel alone, but life is busy enough right? You can tell most people you interview (many who have given quite a few interviews in their lives) have never been asked some of things you do because the answers actually take a moment of thought instead if the the almost pre rehearsed answers I'm sure they spit out almost every time. Way to be unique and props for putting some real thought and effort into these. They may not hit for some people as much as the driving footage but I feel like they're awesome for helping us get to know the people we all follow even better. Thanks for the great content! Keep it coming
Good guy Jimmy :) Glad I was able to meet him at the last Sema
Oh no its Jimmy O lol! Nah Jimmy is definitely one of my favorite youtubers out right now , him and all the Connecticut boyz and Papa Tom!
Just having a rough couple months lost my license for awhile but man love your videos I'm from upstate NY would love eto get into drift front wheel drive guy now this is mine
NEED more Jimmy O content!
Def stayed for brian, setvie, you and ant, and all the fun stuff you guys do. Also prosp to aron for doing these interviews and everything else. ✌✌✌.
This is a good freaking video. S/o to both of you
Jimmy needs to go to Japan and do some drifting at the famous courses
Love it!
Great talk Great show ✌
Awesome video. Please do wout next. Love to listen to this guys rants
Love these youtuber interviews
I put Jimmy and Taylor Ray in the same category. Both build hood cars, hood fab work ad style mixed in. I’ll admit I don’t watch Jimmy as anymore but his channel
Is one I go to for good content.
Convince him to go on the next ebisu trip
Getting the crowd involved? Must be nice. This is what happened at Thompson CT? Crowd was hella involved huh
Cool event! If I would have know you guys were going to NJ I probably would have went. I did buy another Z in NJ saturday and he told me about your event. But I worked on that Z the whole weekend. I usually hear you saying you are going to texas and stuff, didnt think you would go here. You should check out Drift Evergreen in Drums PA. Its not that bad of a track. It is kind of small but that is because there is like 100 drivers or so at an event
Yessssssssssss
It's interesting I've seen him, asking this question to several TH-camr.
"what are you going to do for the community with your influence"
"Why not build a track with your easy reach"
7:30 is another moment.
i hope we get a ricer miata interview
That would be dope
I started with a 90 s13 240sx ka24e the original race engine n/a 55th
Jimmy should do a meet and greet one day
Thank god for Texas!
Just a heads up, i'm not able to understand what the offer code was and so putting it in text in the description is a really good idea because lord knows how many people may have used it but didn't because it wasn't brainless and easy :P
There's a very interesting observation I have on the youtube drift scene. Generally speaking the drifting scene is very united and there isn't any hard feelings had between youtube drifters and the grassroots scene, everything seems coherent, every drift fan likes watching people like Adam LZ or even upcoming good drivers like Hoons Garage. Or at least most of these youtube personalities aren't considered cringey. Doing youtube itself in the drift world can only be a bonus to you and this is why the biggest names in drifting like James Deane, Ryan Tureck, Vaughn Gittin Jr, Piotr Wiecek, Chelsea DeNofa and many others have their own channels. In other words, there isn't a seperation between the pro stuff and youtube, or the grassroots and youtube.
This is in stark contrast to skateboarding on youtube, which is considered somewhat cringe by the core skateboarding crowd. People like John Hill, Geroge Poulos, Braille and many other channels are viewed as cringe and silly to core skateboarders. In other words making it on youtube as a skateboarder is not as well respected as making it through being a a great skateboarder and pursuing the classic path to sponsorship and fame. However in drifting is not looked down upon to do youtube. It is rather cool as hell, since all the big names in drifting do it in order to promote themselves. Definitely find this dynamic and difference to other sports quite interesting.
I think about the differences in BMX and skateboarding vs drifting sometimes, and drifting is so expensive that it is common place for everyone to have to figure out the sponsor game and it is extremely hard for people to go around it without stickering up their car with company names.
Any kid can play a sport, but not any kid can operate a race car, money has to come from somewhere.
Woah the beginning of the questioning was heavy. I mean I get what you mean but I don’t think he is responsible for what anybody else does or what industry they are gonna take a part off
Please do a interview with nightride
Jimmy oakes youtube channel is 🔥
This guy tripping on the steering boat references..
I'm really a low key jimmy fan boy
Big Jim needs more seat time
Couldn't agree more. I know he hates wrecking his cars though and I get that. He has had a few issues with rando tandos and damaging his pretty cars.
I work at a drift track, please put a muffler on your NA cars. There are too many Karens out there and our tracks are under constant threat of being shut down.
best buddy jimmy o
I would love to see jimmy join in on the Japan content
Jimmy loves the straight PIPE
🤙
Jimmy is sitting there thinking …. “Holy shit Im fucked, I’ve never driven a boat before…”
These interviews are such amazing content. You need to be doing the TH-cam thing and coming up with more catchy titles and better thumbnails
I think Aaron is in live with Adam. All he talks about lol
LETS BUILD SOME TRACKS!
I didn't build a turbo Ka because of nissonda 👀👌
Jimmy builds cars! Then drives them, some of them.
I’ve meet jimmy a couple times and I still get kinda start struck but he always stops and talks to fans
When’s the thompson event
Jimmy's such a good dude. I still think an s13 with any iron block straight 6 is kinda like a middle weight boxer with a massive beer gut but you can't knock results. Great vid
Same, I fully believe schassis need a 4 cylinder. They just look “heavy” especially on transitions with straight 6
Bruh 1:27 😂 Aaron is a clown for that lmao that was great
It's nothing but love and Jimbo is always a good sport
@@Katsinum Oh for sure. Just caught me off guard and thought it was hilarious lol
Jimbo is the best.
" I'm about to get stabbed " 😹
#CommentForTheAlgorithm
whens the thompson event
It is a private event, we cannot have anyone but drift week drivers there, no spectators
@@LoneStarDrift dang
Start getting your representatives, and Congress people out to see, the epa is going to shut all this down if we don't push back
26K view talks like hes the god
Comment 👍
aarons got a point jim!? oakes world wide?
So your saying Jimmy is why all Silvia are stupid money
Does Interviews at race tracks.
Gets annoyed when loud cars are idling.
Dood interviewing him like it’s an interrogation. Trying to lead him into answering.
Jimbo kimbal
13:33 Ask Luke about southern australia. We're still fucked here. I was in the CBD of melbourne today and it was FUCKING QUIET at lunch time on a saturday.
Jimmy is a great dude. I don't agree with his nascar statement. The thing that plagues nascar is teams. They took nascar away from individuals. Changes rules that only benefits those team. If drifting does this it will follow the same path. Judging shows already that it has its favorites. Teams can be good. Not in it's current state. It's suppose to build up but it really forces some to take back seats. Adam moves the needle for drifting and TH-cam. I still think it needs to be kept as a individual.
@jimmyoakes if you hate the ae I'll take it off your hands
Sadly a large portion of population in this world are followers sad no ones leads there own way sad truth
What kind of questions are these? Putting Jimmy and Adam against the wall with these "what ifs" just because they are popular youtubers...we all make our own decisions anyone who does something simply based off TH-cam builds and TH-cam personality need someone close to speak with them.
When the person answers a question. Let that be the answer.
you keep pushing it as if you want them to give a different answer.
You did it like 4 times 😂 man that was annoying
People need to make financially reasonable lol. Not your fault if people go 30k in debt to have a cool car
Question 1: why do you hate blacks?
Wtf
@@stylepoints.180 u must not know his history.
Jimmy Oakes is a poser. OG's from Haggard Garage and Ricer Miata's videos will remember Jimmy had zero interest in anything until he realized he could make money.
He's was never really interested in modifying cars until he saw the 300zx and that was it, he talks all about how he didn't care about them in Adams podcast until then
There was a point after school in the shop next to haggard where he was burnt out, looking depressed and he said on video that he would be quitting at some point to get an engineer job unless the youtube money picked up. He had a ls 300zx and sr20 300zx and s13 and and drove a wrx after the saturn. Car stuff the whole time. It's not full poser to speak on needing an adult income. Thsts growing up and paying for life.
