  • ‪@JimmyOakes‬ shares his ideas on the future, his plans, what he is currently working on, etc in this video. His channel focuses on JDM cars, drifting, 350z, S15, JZX100, lifestyle and living the dream for car enthusiasts. I thought it would be fun to chat with him since we were on Drift Week 6, and share some insights about him with you guys as I learn them for myself. I don't get to watch as much UA-cam stuff as you guys do!

      jimmy is my role model. started “what would jimmy do” kinda mentality to build my car. Clean. shave the bay. take my time etc. Spend money where it matters because the car matters to Me. i’ve learned lots from jimmy like life positivity and car knowledge, he’s more than mildly educational to some

    What makes jimmy successful is in my opinion not so much the cars, but the friendship on the channel. The friends he has brought with him on his success, and continued success is what keeps him relatable. Jimmy shop is just a nicer shop with nicer cars than others but with the same or attainable vibe

    Been watching Jimmy and Adam for nearly a decade. They taught me how to ride bmx, build cool cars and learn mechanics while i’m at it. i’m 24 now and grew up the guys basically. I had a 240sx before they even had one together (cream car) and just got hooked even more.
    Jimmy here is my role model. started “what would jimmy do” kinda mentality to build my cars. Clean. shave what doesn’t matter in the bay. take my time etc. Spend money where it matters because the car matters to Me. i’ve learned lots from jimmy like life positivity and car knowledge, wiring isn’t so scary etc.
    My girl reached out to him and told him how big a fan i was and wanted a quick message from him for christmas etc etc. He was busy in Florida so i never got it but his reaction felt like he couldn’t believe people looked up to him like we do. I hope he knows he’s a pillar in this small community to many

    Adam’s channel is great if you want to see a wild build or his professional driving but we don’t get to see much of his life these days, Jimmy’s channel is great if you want more down to earth content along with detailed videos on high level builds, DJ (DJnoway)’s channel is great if you want to see the uncut/unfiltered version of Jimmy (and occasionally Adam) and their friend group haha

    Taylor rays channel has over 100k more subs, the idea of running a successful UA-cam business with a 1 man team is very obtainable. It really comes down to the style of content created. Jimmy oakes very chill and fun (also very informative) Taylor Ray on the other hand is VERY VERY informative but not as much fun as he is working in the shed on his own. He also would be loosing alot more money by not investing/pushing his merchandise the same as Jimmy oakes does.
    Both absolutely incredible UA-cam but still very different.

      Taylor’s channel has a very special vibe where you feel like you’re in the garage right with him. Even though he has Josue now it’s not like Josue is full time wrenching while Taylor is sitting back and running other things, they still work together and a lot of the videos it is just Taylor working on something alone
