It was 10 years ago today that we uploaded the first episode of Mighty Car Mods. We never thought it would turn into this decade long adventure and we’re so grateful to have been able to share our stories with you.
It’s been an incredible opportunity to get to meet thousands of car enthusiasts from all over the world and what we’ve learned after 10 years is that everyone has their own story and their own reasons for loving cars. Ultimately it’s all these different reasons and backgrounds that makes this community so interesting.
To celebrate 10 years we have released a hard cover book 'The Cars of Mighty Car Mods' available from our website
mightycarmods.com/products/the-car-of-mighty-car-mods-hardcover-book
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged us, inspired us, shared our stories, come to our meets and supported the show in so many ways over the years - We’re so glad that you came along with us for the ride!
Marty & Moog
Mighty Car Mods Keep up the good work guys! ;)

Love you guys
Keep it up!
Killer video guys! You two were one of the pioneers for car channels on TH-cam and you should be proud of that, and for how far the channel has come today! Congrats on 10yrs!

I wish them satisfactory completion at another year of meandering in the garage. 4/5 Fanks.
ChrisFix paint the driftstangs calipers red for +25 kW :D
jakob razdevsek his engine isn't compatible with Kw do you know any hp mods
I just wanted to say thank you Marty and Moog. From the very very bottom of my heart. You guys inspired me to learn to drive stick. You inspired me to modify my car in a way that pleases me and not others. To do my own thing and follow the crowd. You are my idols and you make me so happy with your love of cars, the car community, and the people involved including your fan base. So on behalf of every MCM fan at least in Wisconsin and hell the whole USA. Thank you. For all the smiles and laughs you’ve given us throughout the past 10 YEARS!! Congratulations guys. Keep it up. Never stop. And as always
Stay, MAAAAD!!!
T0rt0is couldn’t have said it better my friend, the USA loves the MCM crew! That was beyond nice, we need more people like you in the comments section! Happy new year from California!
You completely forgot the 50s fairladys Datsun sports car.
Well said 🙏
Not to forget the tears of joy that have been shed because of these guys. I know no other TH-cam personality that ever made me cry for any reason at all.. And then there are these two dorks with a love for cars so pure.. it really touches my heart.
o3iquitous same! And I don’t cry easily. Just the passion and inspiration they instill in people is amazing!
I'm literally crying... Looking back and remembering watching your videos when I was in high school before I even had my first car. And now I have my JDM dream car (S2000) in my garage. It feels like I've grown with you guys. I can't wait to see what's to come.
You can keep you ferraris and lamborghinis, that's my kind of dream car right there!
Same :D
Those last 5 minuets though! straight in the feels. Here's to 10 more years guys.
yeah Jonathon.. i have to say to them thanks for the memories,, here's to the future
No one can name a more iconic duo. You two are legends that inspire all creators and bring out the best out of this platform. You deserve this success and much more. *CONGRATS!*
baia baia, fc autos es fan de MCM, quien lo diria? :D
What about an iconic trio? ;)
Well, I put them on the same level as Finnegan & Freiburger haha
FC Autos 100% they are great. Wish i would have found them years ago.
MachineFreaks right as i read this comment they were broke down on the side of the road... BECAUSE ROADKILL!!
the last 5 minutes sounds like a goodbye and i nearly cried!!!!!
feel that too bro
All of their film endings get me watery in the eyes lol!
When they first released this and didn't have the car in the thumbnail and title, I nearly cried when they pulled the tarp back for the reveal. My dad's the original owner of a 71 240Z, so that reveal really pulled at the heartstrings.
That Z is just perfect. The wheels, the wide arches, the mirrors, the front bumper... Would love to have one like that
Please Marty and Moog, don’t ever stop what you’re doing, MCM is the best channel by far on TH-cam! This channel got me into cars and took me
to Japan. Congrats on the 10 years, you both deserve the success! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Mighty Car Mods.
I love the moments in life when you know you're lost and you don't mind.
"Maybe we should just stay lost for a while..."
Amazing stuff guys!
Thank you so much Marty and Moog for all of the amazing content you two have made for as long as I can remember, many of us haven't been here since the beginning but you two are the reason so many of us have the passion and drive to take on the challenges we face not only in the automotive world, but also in our day to day. You guys always put a smile on each and everyone of your viewers and continue to drive the passion in each one of our hearts and minds. On behalf of your Canadian Fans (Especially the car scene in Vancouver B.C.), we thank you and hope you continue another decade and beyond of rad, hardcore, over-the-top, ridiculous, hilarious and inspiring content. We love you guys.
Brought a tear to my eye, you guys have gotten me through some of my toughest times, all I can say is thank you I’ve been supporting y’all from the beginning and will be till the end
Same. I found these videos while sitting with my dad while he was getting chemo. These videos were an escape for me in an incredibly dark time. Marty, Moog, Mechanical Stig, Turbo Yoda, Tuning Fork, and everyone else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the content you have provided for the past decade.
Same here! Found them years ago, during some really dark times and watching them really helped me through it! Two of my favourite people on this planet, so inspirational, talented, funny and allround awesome! I hope they keep doing this for many more years!
And that, Logan Paul, is how you do a trip to Japan!
Ooh, shot's fired, but legit on target. Nice.
Gernuts Logan Paul? Never heard of her.
B737FLY Luckily the guy doesn't have anything below his belt, lmao
You just made THE Comment of The Month. Damn!
Pure. Gold.
After they built that Honda Civic as a joke but did it professionally I was hooked from that point on. I think Marty building Super Gramps is my favorite series.
I love the mad respect you guys have for Japanese culture and the awesome cars they make.
TH-cam should implement a super like, that you can give just once a year. This episode deserves one.....
Yes.
5nitcht that is a great idea
Oh my that Fairlady is a beautiful piece of machinery. Cracked a massive smile as the tarp came off
The ending of these features is always so amazing and emotional. You guys deserve every iota of your success, and I hope it only grows from here!
Loved this episode!! Patiently waiting for the next upload!!!
One of the best TH-cam Channels in TH-cam history in my opinion. Nothing like MCM.
mcm is only second to the mighty jingles for me
MCM got my through the passing of my mom, and I’d watch y’all when I was going through cancer treatment. The montage at the end really had me crying. Thank you, more than you will ever know, for what your content has done for me, and gotten me through.
Keylin Visockis I hope your okay, sorry to hear that, but always remember she may not physically be here but she is always around
Damn ninja's cutting onions here man...
Keylin, because you love MCM, we love you. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us fans! I hope your own healing & recovery has gone well. Marty & Moog we all love you, and thank you for a beautiful decade of glorious automotive content! But most importantly, thank you for the community you've built amongst us, your fans. Everything about MCM is my favorite success story in the car world.
Keylin Visockis good fortune to you, you deserve it.
Awesome episode, had a smile on my face the whole time!!!!
Its 2 years later and the ending still makes me tear up. I love you guys. Hoping you come back to america soon
Shout out to your Amazing bulletproof frienship , you never lost track from where you came from and now look MCM is now international ! Epic to see you both evolve over these 10 years congrats!! Respect for all the hours spent working all those late night ! Some Love from Canada
I think it goes without saying that MCM has greatly influenced the car scene over the last decade and has done so much for various charities. Without a doubt one of the most down to earth channels on the interwebs, ill definitely be still watching for at least another decade. Thank you Marty and Moog.
Truly Amazing!
I just got done rewatching all of your previous episodes up to this point for the 10-year anniversary!
What a journey it's been!
You guys are the best!! Amazing video!
The end almost made me tear up for some reason. :')
You cutting onions as well mate?
Music and memories.
Does it every time.
Same man damn
sameeee
I mean if it didn't make you tingle and tear up, you are probably a monster. :P
Amazing show, gentlemen.
Truly inspirational to so many of us.
Anyone who didn't get tingles during the final montage is dead inside.
I can't wait to see what's next.
Am dead inside.
Got tingles anyway.
i started crying :(
Omg 802 garage why are you everywhere?
Kuam Vwj We both have amazing taste in channels!!!
Kuam Vwj cause he is repping the 8022222222!
Found your channel(s) a month or so ago and can’t get enough of it! Thank all of you, even Cheryl, for all the hard work putting out the amazing content.
Congrats on tens years and awesome finale videos. Keep the awesome content MCM.
In 10 years there work on any kind of car, drift, track, drag, classic, factory fresh, crap, super, wagon, small, big,rust bucket, rice, proper, movie, Euro, JDM, American and IT'S ALL STARTED FROM $500 MODS ON DAIHATSU CUORE IN THE FRONT YARD.
And now they have 2,5 million subs! But, like always. Something is missing now, mcm doesent feel like i use to be :(
You are right, these two awesome guys now bring happiness to more people with their fortune and fame, and they worked hard for it, every day waking up and bringing their best, days they didn't want to, days they wondered if they would be more than a couple hacks, days they probably wished they had a safe and secure life and job, and now its their life and they are providing a glimpse into the world they created, and its amazing.
I disagree, they've worked hard to keep the magic alive.
X Blocky not a diesel doe
No. Just no.
As soon as I caught the headlights, my heart stopped.. guys.. god dammit guys....
phsyco123 same. I’m a muscle car guy but I have always had a major soft spot for these.
I shited myself when i saw that it was a S30 :p my favourite car of all time ❤
Well done fellas. The film, the trip, the car(s), and the TEN YEARS. Thanks for sharing your approach to automotive good times with us. They have added to my automotive good times and influenced me to add a certain nugget to my collection. Many thanks and God bless.
Thanks for your amazing channel guys. Happy Anniversary and may it long continue! I've enjoyed every minute.
That ending.... it’s right in the feels❤️
You've got that right. I already felt complete before that amazing ending. :)
I import cars from Japan to Australia as my business. I too, gamble by buying all my cars unseen with only an auction certificate. The thing is that the Japanese are such an honest people it is more rare to ever get a car thats worse than stated, than to get one that isn't. 9 times out of 10 the car is even better than what the photos show.
Love it. This channel helped me get into cars back in the day. Cant wait to see more!
Such an awesome episode! Congrats MCM on the decade of epicness and here's to many more!
Those last 3 minutes montage were absolutely beautiful. And great for you to include footage of you playing instruments, as I think to few people realise it's just as DIY as the cars.
AccAkut1987 yesss
First, LOVE the 240Z. Underrated in Canada, and so worth it.
Second, I found myself calling out episode and car project names during the montage. MCM has had a big impact on my life as a car enthusiast and one who loves to drive
Third, but not least, congrats to Marty & Moog on 10 years of greatness. From the show car, Blue Turd, Street Cred, and beyond to Lend Us a Ride, and do many great full length features. LOVE Miss Daisy and the 9 second Cressida. The crossover with Road Kill was AWESOME, as I’ve also been a fan of them for years.
All in all, thank you both for just being you, and sharing what you love with us. We’re lucky to have you.
Mike Gould it's a FairladyZ, I believe it's a little different to the 240Z. I believe the 240Z are more powerful and maybe even faster (not sure) but the FairladyZ had a 5 speed and the America spec 240Z was a 4 speed. Sorry I'm a bit of nerd to the early Zs. I think it you put a 5 speed in the America spec 240Z you'd have a cool all Nissian Z with the best of both worlds. The 260Zs and 280Zs use more liters of oil but are less powerful because regulations. How I see it is you keep the 240Zs stock and if you want to mod one you get a 260Z or 280Z because they use the same chassis and body but are less wanted.
Mike Gould they're not underrated here in Canada, there are just not many that run and drive/make their way over the pond. The snow and salt in the winter destroys them because they're not made for it. They had less than par rustproofing, if you look for any that have been driven in Canada they're more than likely going to have a rotten frame/chassis and floor... unfortunately
And as a side note; they stopped being datsun and became Nissan in 1985, when Nissan bought the company and rights to the name
Good on ya guys, keep up the good work, been watchin since season 2 and loved every episode, yous have come a bloody long way
Thank YOU guys! Thank you for always bringing a good and happy mood with your videos. Always being inspiring and encouraging to your fans! The last minutes of this video really gave me a tear in the eye. I look forward to alot more MightyCarMods so keep doing what you are doing! :)
I've been watching your guys' stuff for like 8 years now. I always wanted to be a mechanic but after finding your channel, you inspired me to actually go out and get a job at a shop learning stuff. That was 6 years ago and i've learned so much since then and even had a lead mechanic position. Thanks for all the time you've put into this channel. Myself, and everyone else appreciates it.
That was the fastest 35:00 mins.
And 1 second
Chopped
Juiceinmybox 203 didn’t know there was a chopped vid?
Ten years... wow. With all you two have put into this channel, you certainly deserve your success. Thank you for ten years of awesome entertainment and inspiration! Please keep it coming!
Well done guys amazing video as always!!! 10 years of great filming!
I shed a tear during the recap montage.
jmelzer the make a wish episode made me cry, had to go back an rewatch it.
Another fantastic film to round off another fantastic season. Great work Marty and Moog, can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the next season!
awesome video guys. glad I've been here for these mad 10 years
You guys are really fun, thanks for all your work to bring us these awesome experiences. Keep it up, we will also keep on watching.
I was 12 years old in 1970. The local Datsun Dealer was driving the first 240z we had ever seen around town. Bright yellow... what an impressive sight for a kid. Still a very cool ride that has lost nothing in all that time. Glad to see you out of the box.
Rake loves it...
Too few people will get this
Haha. I had that sticker on my car.
I wonder what happened to him
I read in one comment section that rake moved to the us to work for Tesla. Could be false
...
Cheers to 10 or more years to come MCM! Your Japan episodes really make me miss Japan 😊
So so good guys! Thanks so much for all the effort over the last 10 years. Smashed it!
So thats what that skyline motor in the corner of the garage is for...
Personally, I can't wait to see it in the Beat.
Hopefully not... a modern engine in that would take away much of its character. A built 280ZX motor (L28) would suit it much better.
L30 with triple side drafts more like it
Ryan Hillestad lol
Daniel Simonds but the rb is so good....
Guys, this video is more emotional than you probably ever thought. Keep it up! I'll keep watching you along with me new born son!
Leszku yesss. A lot of guys like myself basically spent our teen years growing up watching mcm.
i think what is most amazing to me is i went back and watched some of those old ep's and the fact that you guys are exactly the same and haven't changed at all really shows how passionate the both of you are about this. thanks for all the content
congrats guys have been watching for the last 4 or 5 years and enjoyed every minute. Thanks again and cheers.
Best car show to ever exist on this little floating rock in space.
hear hear
YES! I almost fell of my chair as soon as I saw the 240z. I dream about owning one some day, such a beautiful piece of art of a car.
Martins Noname I might have even shed a manly tear.
JAPAN is ❤️Thank you Mighty Car Mods! This episode brings tears to my eyes every time!
Happy anniversary guys, it's been a pleasure watching over the years you both deserve all the success, your vids should be on Netflix.
The montage at the end had me in tears! Can believe its be ten years
Maybe that's where that RB26 we've been seeing in the background of videos is going ;)
Ohh Slothyy that would be nice
:O
Mind blown
Nooooo. L series with carbs sounds way better than an RB
NA RB26/30 With individual throttle bodies. That's what I'd do.
So this is what you've been working on. Thanks guys. I love your channel so much.
My favorite channel and always will be my favorite. Thank you for putting out the content you guys produce. You guys really show that just about anyone can achieve their dreams. Excited for what's to come! Keep it up!
Omg. Goosebumps when you uncovered the car!
Thanks Roadkill for introducing me to MCM i never miss a show now. Miss alot of roadkill thou. Such humble mates. Thanks for keeping it real.
the Z vs the rotsun!
Big congrats on 10 years guys ...truly enjoy every episode and can't wait to see what the next 10 brings
2 thumbs up from Canada !!
Thank you. Thank you guys so much for this great episode and having my dream project car featured. I love the s30!
Marty and Moog and the MCM crew. Thank you for 10 years of amazing laughs cars adventures and wonderful memories. I haven't been around for all 10 but the past 4 have been incredible. And I think a huge thank you for your guys great personalities and fun attitudes is needed. No one else could have made this show the way you guys have. Lets get go in for another 10 and more NUGGETS!!!!!
One of the very best channels on all of youtube, without a doubt...I may look forward to a video from another channel, but I actually get excited when its an MCM upload. Plus, the vintage Mini and the 240 happen to be two of my dream cars, so its obvious these guys have phenomenal taste lol
Happy birthday mcm. always a treat to see you guys upload. here's to another 10 years of automotive fun. much love to you both.
Amazing documentary. Thank you MCM.
Fantastic guys, keep it up! Absolutely love it!
So, I'm going through a tough time and it's hard for me to feel good about something, but this video make me happier, make me understand that nothing is Impossible but you have to work and work hard. You guys are my favourite channel and I wish someday travel to Australia and meet you. Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina!
Hey mate, from someone who is also going thru tough times, and have been for many years, I just wanna say I hope things get better, stick it out until it does, never give up hope. I too find this channel and these guys truly uplifting. Best of luck in the future man, from some guy in the UK.
Hope things get better mate. Keep positive and best wishes to you
may the force be with you
hang in there. tough times are just part of life. life is a gift for us to love, learn, and lose until it ends. you dont get the day you just had back but you get the next for free. make it count!
I can relate, and wish you well.
This is just a car channel, why am I crying after this video?
Same dude
Its been an amazing 1o years, thank you for all the great videos. I've loved watching your videos evolve over the years.
Congratulations guys! Love and look froward to every episode. You're positive energy is contagious. Thanks for sharing the cars, laughs and fun! Beautiful video, I'm already looking forward to the next one. Here's to another 10 years of MCM!
I have an idea MCM fairlady z vs Roadkill Rotsun. That will be fun
ding dong gaming rodsun will never work
RoadKill just doesn't have this level of passion......this would win simply because it's gonna NOT break.
But if the rotsun did somehow manage to not break, it would be way faster. I mean, 500hp in a 2500lb car is ridiculous.
Anything for another Roadkill collab!
The Rotsun never fails to fail. :)
I would like to Thank you Martin and Blair (Marty and Moog) for the great 10 years "I still remember watching your first video I was around 8 years old now 19" It was you guys who got me into cars all those years ago. I can't thank you enough for your hard work and dedication you put in to the show. We all as humans go through some pretty hard times in life and I can proudly say your videos as a kid got me through alot of hard times. So from and on behalf of all New Zealand MCM fan's Thank you Marty and moog ❤
Awesome work - congratulations on the ten years!
Yeah we're here... and there's a Volvo... Thanks for 10 years awesomeness
Twenty 20 or a 240
Found the fellow Volvo enthousiast.
Haha same here, And that´s even Volvos Original Bodykit for the 740 ;)
240 gtl or glt or whatever it is, my dad had one for around 25 years lol, was awesome and kept on going.
OMG YES I WAS EXPECTING LIKE ANOTHER KEI CAR OR LIKE A GTR BUT NO THEY FINALY BOUGHT AN ACTUAL Z CAR😭😭😭 THANK GOD. What a way to celebrate your ten year, really congrats guys your content has inspired me to love cars of all shapes and sizes and you really gave me the will to get into this amazing culture that I now love and call my own. So from me and all of your other fans all across the world, thank you thank you for inspiring us to love our cars because there ours and we look forward to seeing another ten years of you.
Happy anniversary guys love the new car can’t wait till next season and all the sick mods to come keep up the good work
2 years go pretty quick. This was still an adventure and what a journey. Going back to some of the content I haven’t watched fully. Epic. Thanks gents.
Absolutely amazing to see how much you've grown, and how much the channel has evolved! Never thought to guys in a driveway would turn into this! Please keep it up, and looking forward to the next 10 years!
These types of videos makes me happy and sad at the same time. It just really hits you in the feels.
I bet when you hit up Tempe Tires 10 years ago, you had no idea how much joy you'd bring to all of us over the next decade. You guys are the jam, and I think I speak for all of us when I say we can't wait to see what the next 10 years bring. MAAAAAAAAAAAAD
Great job with narrating and music on this project. Killer work dudes.
Fantastic show lads! Been watching for a few years now, and can't wait for more! Congratulations on your accomplishments! Cheers
It feels like it was only yesterday when Marty was always suggesting to jack up your car for non underbody upgrades, thru thick and thin we fans are with you guys for life!!
I'm not gonna lie. There were some tears.
Almost. I had to suck it in... A man that I am xD
So So much love for these guys ! Simply amazing watching them for the last 10 years. Awesome every episode. Where to start. Gotta get to meet Marty and Moog. One for my bucket list ! Big Love MCM!
Great recap and blessed years to come
This actually had me cry a little. It's such a cool thing to get to feel like i have experienced all of this with you guys. I hope one day I can meet you two and share story's. You guys are by far my most favorite channel to watch and that will never change. Thank you for the inspiration to do anything and everything you set your heart to do. Btw that fairlady is beautiful. I'm American but cheers mates.
Greetings from Estonia.
Same here... Shed a tear.
mike dejong also American, will call them zeds now because of this

Awesome stuff. Wish I started watching them ten years ago. Great work gentlemen, thanks for doing this!
This is what i have been wishing you guys would get for many years now.........have fun and thanks for all the hard work!
Welcome to the club!
I just want to say that one best moments of Mcm (imo) was when Moog explained what people in the Honda forum thought you should do when filling up your engine with oil. That "wtf" look from Turbo Yoda made me laugh so much.
