3:00 Im surprised you didn’t mention the actual legal loophole which is all giveaways need to be free to enter, this is why they all have a free entry option.
You kind sir, are one of my most favourite people to watch as your content always feels to be apart of 'normal life'. Not making it to be about ' best, fastest, most expensive...' but to make it real. Thankyou to being the best and most real UA-cam channel to watch. ❤
Let's be real. The point of giveaways is to benefit/profit for the company or individuals involved, having a bigger following of course will boost the market
Maybe just maybe, instead of starting the contest and figuring things out after, you should have done this type of research first, this isnt the first time people have had to cancel contest like these not to mention most of them are just for the U.S if its already that hard giving away a car to someone in a different state as it varies per state obviously its gonna be harder country to country, having followed and watched your videos for years, you have a habbit of following the trends without really doing alot of research or much preparation and ends up biting you in the ass. As someone whos been a fan I advice that moving forwards do your research and get someone who has experience to consult you, I get it you wanna do things on your own but bad decisions have been plaguing you recently not to mention as of late your video content is all over the place, it's very hard to keep up with your vision, sometimes it feels some of your videos are just following the hype, when everyone was doing shops, then supras, rx7s widebody and lost its somewhat orignality, yeah you did a wide body but you made it yours but now it feels like repetstive and somewhat predictable. sometimes you have to admit it and just ask for help and take a breather, im not a youtuber so I dont have much knowledge on how its like but as a fan it makes me feel like its 3rd-4th video I saw of the same type of content and direction, not hating on you but just giving out advice as a friend/fan, if youre gonna follow the trend of other youtubers be smart about it, not only does it affect you but us as uour fans I guarantee you every big automotive youtuber or group that does these giveways or follow in trends like building shops/teams/drift builds/giveways theres a team behind the scenes (support/legal purposes) and alot of research involved. Personally stop following the trend of others yes it gives you the views but theres not much life in the videos. Thats just my 2 cents, keep your head up youll find the way again
I'm just going to drop this bit of knowledge for those who are importing cars between the US and Canada... To Import From Canada TO the US: You need a letter from the manufacture's regional office where the vehicle originated from (with the VIN, make model and the Year of the vehicle) stating that the car meets US federal emissions and saftey regulations/standards and the HS-7 and 3520-1 form. The Importation application form, Local registration papers, the bill of sale, and the Title... YOU MUST HAVE THE TITLE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. Be Ready to pay all taxes and fees at the port of entry. That is the simple part of it all. This is if you are bringing the vehicle over yourself and USDM Developed... Not for a JDM or Euro car that is less than 25 years old and meets Canada's 15 year homologation rule. Now registering it in a state... Each state is fickle. West coast states, NY, and VT are the worse when it comes to importing. Please research your state's DOTD site for registering Canadian vehicles To import FROM the US TO Canada: You have to Export the car from the US (fill out a form and get a broker ID, it's simple but a process where there aren't many resources), bring your title, and bill of sale to Canadian border. If it's a car model sold in Canada less than 15 years old, you have to do an RIV form and the car must be inspected. Canadian tire is the only place that does that. If it is originally a Canadian car you don't have to get it inspected but you may or may not have to pay taxes. It depends on how the border guards are feeling that day. If the Car is Greater than 15 years of age, RIV inspection is waved, you will have to pay taxes (unless you are immigrating with it on your B4 form). The government will charge about 3-10% depending on the vehicle fuel economy and if it has A/C or not. Yes, I am serious. Canada taxes a vehicles with A/C systems. After that point, get it inspected by your local provence or territory that you wish to register the vehicle in and done... FYI NEVER GET IT INSPECTED BY A DEALERSHIP!!!! Full disclosure, I have imported my vehicles between the US and Canada multiple times since I am an American living in Canada.
Sold the Supra, and gained the RX8 back, Its cool! I think as much as Badbata was the KMR channel, it would be cool to see the arty and just daily life side of you man, I miss the old Birdy day in the lives and the PO Box openings and stuff similar! Would be cool to see both sides of you, maybe its just the artist in me wanting to see it, either way, loving the content bro, will always be a fan!!
I love behind the scenes business vidoes like this! Please make more! Also is there a way I can contact you for questions regarding business like this?
Why not make this car the new BADBATA brand promo car?? Take this an opportunity to rebrand this car and modify it further exploring a different direction creatively.
BROOO from Alberta! And I KNOW of this build, saw it when you were highlighted in a Hoonigan video. I was astounded someone built a twin engine mazda let alone a precida (my dream highschool car). PLease let me know if we can make this happen
(Early in the video) I think the warp stabilization kinda makes the smooth video worse than the lil jitter from hand holding imo. The warp shakes the entire screen
Wait cant you just get a letter from the car company saying there's a similar or literally the same car in the US that should make it really easy to bring the car into the states?
Yes, you are correct! In order to bring the car to the US, you need a letter from the manufacture office where the vehicle originated from (with the VIN of the vehicle) stating that the car meets US federal emissions and saftey regulations/standards.

Bro change the name back. Bad atta sounds bad, doesn’t roll off the tongue, and is super cringy. I’ve been subscribed for years but this change is killing it
I remember sitting in your car planning to put it on a u-haul truck & trailer and one-waying it so we could chill in Vegas, didn’t realize there was so much stuff to go through in order to give it away Also you know who to hit up for installing coilovers 😏
Essentially it's fear to be seen with a wing and body kit, if it's allowed by a law as htacess - I don't know. Probably it's best to find local guys for a job like this, who will improve over the time beginning with fitting basics. Must do something with a jewellery robbery escape car and throwing a gas through the air went. Rokiškis rally, but then it is not what I wished it to be with all the suspension and other side is obviously Lee bikers hired by the boss to do operation Statue Jade Serpent, because it's not tied tu some Xamarin power point presentation. This is that long missed The Night Agent sniper fight. Everybody has some mortal combat.
I know this one was coming wondering how is it gonna end up. Cash equivalent is fine. I mean if somebody from US expect the car prize they should be prepared to sort out customs and registration. Honestly.
Damn thats unfortunate man. This is not so much the "giveaway" being the problem but rather importing the car for use in a different state/country thats making it a difficult situation. And i guess this is an NA thing?
for the future have a friend in the us buy a car that is going to be the giveaway and do the modifications in the us? That way you dont have to worry about importing the vehicle to the US? sure not the best way but i mean who would be the wiser
Basically what you're trying to say is you like designing of the car because it's close to the art stuff it's basically his art you're trying to make the car look as what you wanted to look And that's the way I look at it because I'm an artist and what I do to my car I do it with no one else has I don't care what they think is what I like 👍💫✨️💫❤️🔥💯😎
i was wondering what was the deal with the rx8 when i saw it in the back of one of the other videos, but glad you and the winner came to an agreement, and dam i cant wait to see the next car!! #staydriven
Man, this car is how I found your channel as I was planning on doing a similar build. Sucks that the winner won't receive it, but you're truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work!
But LZ's isn't US only - From the T&C's his organization uses every time: (c) be a legal resident of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, (excluding overseas military installations and other U.S. territories), Canada (excluding Quebec), United Kingdom, New Zealand, Finland, France and Switzerland.
I know this won’t matter to you but i’m cutting loose of your channel due to the weirdly style of content. You lost your foundation to why you made your channel about your passion of cars and more vlog self reflections. Again this small comment is worth nothing to you but really; been with you since your start and i’ve just become uninterested in your content now. Sayo nara

YESS i forgot about this too, i also had this option as a "mail in entry" but youre right!

really appreciate this homie!

yes its purely for marketing and sales

preach, bro just decided to do a giveaway (to the US no less) without costing it out first? how stupid
Solid advice man.
to be honest, I thought it was the cost of the shipping. And nothing more. But yea, my stupid innocent young mind, sorry if that offends you guys
I agree on you. Specially about doing content. He was all over the place. Just finish one thing before start one thing. Like the XB camper build.

Hey birdy would you possibly be coming to this years SEMA?
(Early in the video) I think the warp stabilization kinda makes the smooth video worse than the lil jitter from hand holding imo. The warp shakes the entire screen

it'll grow on ya buddy =) but really appreciate the honesties
I remember sitting in your car planning to put it on a u-haul truck & trailer and one-waying it so we could chill in Vegas, didn’t realize there was so much stuff to go through in order to give it away
Also you know who to hit up for installing coilovers 😏
There are no complications of not sending a 200$ order out and then ghosting on email though!
Damn. Wild I actually pertispaited in this ! No stresss man beautiful thing about life always learning

I own an rx8 but its cool to see you have it back!
Sounds like you scammed everyone that bought merch to win this car. 😂😂😂
I know this one was coming wondering how is it gonna end up. Cash equivalent is fine. I mean if somebody from US expect the car prize they should be prepared to sort out customs and registration.
Honestly.
Damn thats unfortunate man. This is not so much the "giveaway" being the problem but rather importing the car for use in a different state/country thats making it a difficult situation. And i guess this is an NA thing?
Reving before turn off is the biggest myths about this car xD
for the future have a friend in the us buy a car that is going to be the giveaway and do the modifications in the us? That way you dont have to worry about importing the vehicle to the US? sure not the best way but i mean who would be the wiser

The most I could spend is 1000 bucks for the Mazda please bro please!!? I need a car man!!
i was wondering what was the deal with the rx8 when i saw it in the back of one of the other videos, but glad you and the winner came to an agreement, and dam i cant wait to see the next car!! #staydriven
$3000 cash and i'll come pick it up in Edgemont! dream upgrade from this 03' corolla with crank windows hahaha!
Man, this car is how I found your channel as I was planning on doing a similar build. Sucks that the winner won't receive it, but you're truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work!
I want to buy the car bro!!!
