Insane Purpose-Built Garage of our Dreams: Matt Farah’s Westside Collector Car Storage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2021
- Matt Farah is an automotive renaissance man. Car journalism, podcasts, vlogs, and now - construction?? Matt’s new venture, Westside Collector Car Storage, looks more like a Gran Turismo garage than real life. But the path to get there was not easy, ranging from out-of-code sidewalk reconstruction, to damn near getting a moat installed (that he didn’t ask for). But the end result is a drool-worthy collection of cars, from weekenders to long term storage cars.

Hoonigan SidewalkFocus... i'm so disapointed
When matt point to things, the camera should follow and film what he is pointing at, c'mon man!
Thank you!! Especially from Larry! Come'on Larry!
Okay you guys were not paying attention to the intro, the cars are irrelevant in this one, its all about the crazy building lmao
@@sendjamin 13:16 You were not paying attention sir/ma’dam
@@MyMostBeautifuCinema building/sidewalk/ramp/basement/office
@@sendjamin What is your response? I time-stamped where he references his neighbor and the camera did not pan over.
glad Larry got to see everything because the viewers didn't see shit
Foreal I'm so disapointed so many cars and we just got to look at a sidewalk...
Alot of people don't want you to see the cars. The storage has to offer client privacy
As far as the camera missing everything else yeah that's poor camera choices
That's because alot of the cars are private cars and they don't want there car photographed
The video was about the garage not the cars they are private cars and he photoed what he could
POINT THE CAMERA AT WHAT HE'S POINTING AT. DAMN!
Literally the whole time i watched this i was like "gee it would be nice to actually see what the hell he's pointing/talking about".
Yea really. And dont do interview with a lip full of chew. Might as well be eating the whole time
@@jhershy1381 Why does him chewing bother you so much LOL. Be different if he was spitting all over or you couldn't understand what he was saying but neither of that happened. So don't be such a whinny lil viewer. OR simply don't or stop watching. It's that easy.
Matt: points and motions over at something that he considers to be an object of interest to the potential viewer.
Larry: ZOomS iN ON mATt'S FAce InsTeAD
Love how he's excited about fire suppression and seismic sway bracing
Have to be in the natural disaster capital of America. Sure, the area is beautiful, but it’s constantly trying to kill you.
When he paid that much for it, he has to be excited!
i would be too if i had that many cars
Rich people shit lol
I'd really like to see how it would handle a 7.1 mag quake like the one that hit Ridgecrest in 2019.
Does anyone else see the irony in "Hoonigan Autofocus" and Larry's "Spasm Cam"?
The focus is hooning. Seems like they named it perfectly hahaha
When someone says “look at here” or “look at this” you’d think you’d pan your camera to that direction lol.
I love how Matt's like the cool uncle everybody wants to have.
Not like your uncle. The one that touched you.
@@helbergalinda9141 prob y I’m g3y
Everyone wants to have, but is full of shit most the time. He is making it sound like an engineering marvel. LOL It isn't. You can look up the plans online.
I like how at 14:30 Matt is picking up litter. That's an owner with pride.
Almost didn't click on this one. Actually turned out to be one of my favorite episodes. Even with Larry's poor camera work. Love you Larry! You're living my dream and I appreciate you sharing it!
The outro for autofocus is still literally the best thing ever edited and put together. I’ve watched the outro alone about million times. Wishhhhh I knew the song at the end.
I need it. Shazam doesn’t have a clue :(
always have to lower the volume on that one.. keep waking up the dogs and cats!
@@hungryalien 😂🤣👍🏼✌🏼
2:30 - That tradecraft farms pen just sitting there 😜
Gotta love California.
Trade craft sponsors Matt's podcast, it's the official cannabis of the smoking tire
@@100proofcrew having a weed sponsor is life goals tbh
Damn near all Porsche, I approve.
I work with a lot of exotic cars and their owners. I can say for certain that the ones that give the biggest shit are typically Porsche people.
I watched this video from start to finish and I couldn't stop thinking about how great of a level this would be in a first person shooter
O man,especially if you could interact with the lifts
@@WhuDhat yassssssss
This place is so awesome and extremely interesting to hear about
No hate, but can you point the camera at what he is pointing at so we can see what he is talking about!
Several times Matt paused to let Larry marvel before continuing when he was back in frame lol
LET US SEE THE CARS :(
they would probably need consent from the owners
Westside Porsche Car Storage
*and Audi TT
@@timotheus2003 bruh who put their audi tt convertible in there? is that someones daughter's car & they grounded her from it so they stored it there? lmao
@@von... If you're going out of town for a week or two and only have street parking.
One thing I never want to hear Larry Chen say:
"We have to go into this bathroom"
One thing I never want to hear Matt Farah say:
"You want to close the door if you really want to make it quiet"
Showing off the coolest parking garage/art gallery in California and he's like "check out that Geo metro convertible over there." Why I love Matt Farah
So crazy the hoops the city makes a builder go threw but you could put a tent on the up to code side walk and live there!
Seeing that 80s Countach poster again after all these years and then to hear Zwart took the shot and where it was originally from had my jaw open. Thanks Larry/Matt!!
This place is mind blowing! I could spend hours just looking at the wide variety of vehicles!
Matt is so chilled 👌. Thank you Larry
Matt Farah’s such a cool dude, met him once at a super car Sunday out here in LA years back, very nice and humble man. Glad to see him doing well this is one crazy ass facility.
I think using the extension cord reels is a great idea for getting power to the upper levels, but they definitely should conceal it within the frame of the lift for a cleaner look!
So proud of Farah. This is fucking awesome and he totally deserves it.
Give me a break man....
Why?
Love how Larry always shows what they are talking about. Oh wait.
"Now, where would you like to get high?"-Matt Farah 2021 @41:13
I remember watching Matt's videos years ago. Such an awesome building and you can tell that a lot of thought went into this place. Love the video!
Awwwww the Conrad pillow in his office made me smile. RIP brave Warrior, Valhalla awaits.
Matt seems like such a nice guy.
He's actually a massive D bag. I was a fan of his for years. Regret. He's one of those people that think politics define humanity and that anyone with different perspective should be shunned from society
@@Shakshuka69 dont be that guy too, he may come around
@@Shakshuka69 rofl
@@mcspikesky I agree. And I tried to hang on for years. But he kept saying such ugly, ignorant things on the podcast. And then he started bringing guests that have nothing to do with cars like that twitter employee he brought on to talk about how twitter doesn't censor conservatives like wtf Matt? This is the smoking tire podcast.
@@Shakshuka69 Twitter guy awkwardly dancing around some touchy subjects for his career.. pretty hilarious. I value alot of his opinion but know the bubble it comes from.
I'm proud of you guys!! Keep it going!! I'd love to pay y'all a visit when the regulations allow to store a vintage or two.
The dab pen @2:30 is all I actually seen in this video. Matt Farrah be high LOL
Evo 2 cosworth is my fav in that storage facility
Wow. What a great video....and two pros conversing....amazing.
Love when you go into the office and that's the first time he gets protective......spend millions on one of the best garages in the world then only worry about wonky art.
Great video and superb presentation
These guys are both very successful, but still so humble and friendly!👍
Matt needed to build a basement, for parking, for the parking garage😂😂👍
(All these building codes. Sounds like Sweden. (Not the earthquake regulations though))
I’ve watched several videos of Matt’s new garage. This one was pretty cool with the stories behind the art and fun facts about Matt ... very cool. Good job.
larry seems like a cool dude but point the camera at what he’s pointing at! absolutely infuriating
45:00 "Bend your knees..." close your eyes and open the mouth. 😂
They getting real high at the end 😂 I'm weak
Matt Farah;s garage looks so nice
I followed the build of this place and it's shame more of us don't apply the same single mindedness that Matt, and his crew, did to the problems we come across.
Maybe he was just in so deep that there was no way of backing out.
Whatever the reason was that he ploughed ahead I'm glad he did, as this place is an astounding monument.
I hope it's a ripping success, as it deserves to be.
This whole building is amazing. Definitely worth checking out the details over on Smoking Tire.
Worked for an LA company that was constantly expanding and something i learned with all this "up to code" stuff is the inspectors for the most part just want to be bribed and i always thought because of this that bribery is how you get a business running in Los Angeles glad to see Matt took the hard way out and actually spent the money to fix all their dumb requests I never seen this approach before.
I think Larry was just distracted by all the stuff in the shots including the cars but Im sure he will learn from this for future non car storage related shoots where someone is pointing at stuff. Then again this is his job so Larry just look at this as a job performance evaluation Or "Opportunities for improvement" as they say in Managerial-speak
Came back after revisiting this video. Add on to opportunities for improvement " Larry you need to get a camera gimbal "
Well, his job is shooting still pictures.
It's funny that everything that has been done in the building was always a first or has never been done before. This guy is Picasso of our time. The Steve Jobs of buildings. The da Vinci of collector car storage. All hail the king
I watched this whole video Larry. Glad you did this.
Larry... that outro gives me chills EVERYTIME. Great ending to a great tour.
Farah is the Man great building ii like that you are showing the varied aspects of car culture
That was more fascinating then I expected. Super cool!!
Forget your once in a lifetime photo shot , look at my book shelf..😂😂😂😂
Your outro gives me goosebumps everytime! ❤️🔥
Matt is living the dream.
This building was a nightmare to build but he did it. Lots of respect.
Nice place. Good job. He knows his stuff very well.
As a vest wearer I can appreciate that Matt is truly a vest enthusiast!
For a professional photographer, this guy does not know where to point the camera. I enjoyed the video nonetheless.
It’s almost like he’s not a videographer, who would have thought!
You don’t have to be a cinematographer to known where to point a camera. It’s just common sense.
Idk the focus was the building and not really the cars so I kinda get it
@@ikram12345able True but they stood talking about the entrance ramp for nearly 5 minutes and I have no idea what it looks like...
@Eighty Baby oh yes and which one was in a video game as well
Amazing 👌🏼👌🏼 thanks for sharing
What a fuckin video. Two of my favorite people bullshitting and showing off that beautiful ass garage. Cool to see Larry take some pictures with your gallery of lighting
Larry Chen and Farrah. Enjoyed listening to him on the podcast a few years back
So many things in that building are very satisfying!
Absolutely Love the details. I am an engineer who built Buildings and machines for a living, so the details of construction are very impressive and I can totally relate to dealing with Government types who just follow rules irrespectively of logic. Hopefully one day when we humans grow up we will have governments that can think for themselves. The turbo CX 500 Turbo is interesting because I had a 1983 650 Turbo Yamaha at that time, so I'm not so sure the CX was first but if it was it was by weeks or months. Kawasaki came out with theirs several months after I got mine and it had 112 hp, so Yamaha did a recall on my bike and modified it for extra boost to bring my power from 85 HP to about 112 HP. Lastly I am are major car guy as well but unfortunately am not in the money league of most of the cars there but instead I built it all myself. I bought a 1975 Formula 400 Firebird brand new in Feb 1975 and still have it but I turbocharged it in 1979, drove it for 10 years breaking everything. In 2005 I took it out of storage and rebuilt everything to handle 1000 Hp reliably so it wouldn't break this time. Check it out at "Johns 1975 Formula 400 Firebird" on facebook, the whole story is recorded. The car has also been totally rewired to be controlled by an industrial Computer (PLC) that integrates with a FAST fuel injection system etc. Maybe an interesting shoot? (That is Henry Winkler with me at the 2013 Local car show with the firebird).
I love this 😀 ❤ I would live here every day
This was great to watch!
Lmfaooo the mystery Dali in the bathroom is by far the best part of the video xD
Amazing! Love Matt and Larry. Too bad the fire inspector screwed Matt, stupid codes...
Beautiful guys, amazing garage.
Great vlog Larry, big fan!
man, thats a really cool business to own... matt really figured out his life
"This my wife" fuckin killed me 😂😂
How can you talk about an entrance ramp for nearly 5 minutes, have Matt point to it multiple times, AND NOT SHOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
and that's why Larry's a photographer and not a filmmaker haha
This is awesome, I was just recently wondering how this project was progressing. Cheers for the upload!
You had to fund the fire department to create new regulations for your building? That's nuts. Well done and fair play.
Love the Talking Heads reference, yes, dating myself.
Amazing content as always
Love the green Landy!!!
Long time coming, 🔥
In term of engineering sophistication, this garage is like the Panama Canal of automobile storage.
The basement is basically the bat cave with those lights.
My Guy with the Pamplemousse 👍😜
when hes on the lift ...."now where would you like to get high hahaha" rags off hahaha
YESSSSS!! Matt is such a cool guy - he came up to me in Malibu a few weeks back and I didn't even know it was him. Down-to-earth guy with loads of personality. Great episode!!
I love the studio chairs
Matt. You`re an awesome guy.
Acoustic sound dampening sheeting on the undersides of the catch-pans of the lifts would have to be the first thing I’d do in that amazing garage. The sound of a vehicle’s engine is like music. But when reflected off of numerous wavy metal surfaces............
It just seems...........
Best Honigan channel of them all.
I work for a company which builds similar facilities, although rarely to such a high spec. All I can say is that there must be a hefty line of credit behind it all. Sweet setup though
Whatcha estimate for this build?
I'm sure the monthly cost for a spot is expensive enough that the business plan makes sense!
His dad is loaded VP of Ralph Lauren so I doubt he’s hurting
I needed this!
What a very cool place. Life goal achieved
im glad you got my painting bro, forgot to put my name it
Sniffed up once again, lol
love this place.
Missed these kinds of videos man!
Great work :)
Oh look, saw that on Emelia's page. What's ThiS?? a Hoonigan page I've missed???? Subscribed! -ringed bell-
That bookshelf really nice
Awesome
Hella inspirational this guy is super cool
Epic toy room!
