So glad you're back making fresh content on UA-cam again. You, Scotto and Hert were the reason Hoonigan was such a great channel and this new chapter will be just as epic. Mk2 Vr6 project has me gassed up already!
Mann seing the old burnyard with the og theme song really brought back good memories! I really love the videos, you're putting a lot of efforts in to them and it shows! 💯
PRO TIP> New pickup / drop off strategy at LAX... Have them meet at the new economy parking lot, or drop folks off at the new economy parking lot. The shuttles are quick both ways and it's hassle free. We park there when flying out on shorter trips, there's also a tram being built there now.
Not gonna lie, I felt sad seeing you sell the FD because it’s an iconic car….BUT this is going to be an epic journey for your channel….. while I eat my popcorn watching you do your thing Vin. Excited for you!
the silhouette got me, glad it wasnt what i thought. i think this was a good trade up, hope to see you improve the DDE boys vids with some modena goodness soon
Man, this stuff makes me miss Ken. Although he’s gone, it gave everyone a chance to really do their own thing with their life! Cheers too all of you Hoonigan guys making your way!
I didn't think I would be following this series as close as I have been but it's really cool to see this channel organically grow and vin I genuinely having fun which I feel makes the whole channel.
Loving the content, I feel like you've been paying alot of attention to the production of your videos, the camera angles and all, just feels more produced than alot of other content, and i love it!
Dude, I love the community that you are "introducing" to us.. Can't wait to the common day/house/whatever episodes that are bound to happen Much respect from Brazil Keep it up ✌️✌️
Was a big fan of OG Hoonigan, and I'm not mad at the direction they are going in. Money is money. I'm a huge fan of this content though, Vin. Looking forward to the future of the channel.
So glad to see the Rx-7 go to another JDM lover, it will be cherished and fit well into his awesome collection. Loving your videos mate, keep up the good work!
I had the opportunity to drive a friend's stock power FD RX7 somewhere around 18 years ago. I still remember how different it was to drive than anything I had driven previously. You could feel how much less weight and resistant the rotary engine had over a standard ICE with pistons with how smooth it went through the revs. It's definitely a different driving experience unlike anything I have driven even up to this point.
I like the whole straight swap. I traded an 05 Toyota Camery straight for an 07 Honda Fit Sport. Also did a straight trade with a 2015 Toyota Highlander for a 2010 Toyota FJ cruiser. Even got title and tags covered on both and walked away spending nothing. Both at used car dealers.
Man who would have thought the 621 music would hit so hard? It probably sounds over dramatic but that was just better times. Pre Covid, Pre insane inflation of cost of living. I actually could afford car parts and dream about builds. Loved watching you boys back then living out the dream. Happy to have found you here.
621 hits you right in the feels. Specially with the DT intro song😮💨. Anyways badass video! Your anxious/happy/sad vibe for selling the Rx7 was hilarious🤣🤣🤣🦾.
That is a pretty unrepeatable CYM FD, gooooooosh man. The rollers look great though for your own memory of it tho, probably the best way to have a FD Only thing I'd change would be some streetporting for that c h o p but the noise is insane I hate to say it, searing hot take, I'd take the FD over the 360 but I completely get it on the other hand 👌
Love buying cars from people like you! purchased 2 cars 5 months apart in Pheonix e36 M3 guy was terrible didnt meet up till after noon was trying to drive to seattle was dumb. Other was a e92 Supercharged M3 and guy was beyond awesome had a temp permit and everything ready early in the morning, so we could leave for the 20 hours asap.
Love that Peebs the Prophet - Take a Moment instrumental in there as you got to LAX. Took me a minute to work out what song it was because I couldn't work out where I'd heard those strings before. But I knew the song in the back of my mind.
Something I have found true is that for you to really understand how important something is to you, you have to be willing to let the thing go. Once you’ve acknowledged letting it go even by just an understanding, you’ll end up learning more about it and love it all the more.
Gotta say it is super cool that it's going to someone so stoked about it. Made me smile, which I needed today. Been a rough few days. Thanks Vin. Keep up the great content.
The DT sound and seeing the old garage brought back the feels. Back when life was simpler, the internet was fun and I stayed up until 3am for videos sometimes.
This episode was quite emotional. From you selling the RX-7, to seeing the old 621 office. And can I just say how jealous I am that you've gotten to own 3 of the greatest JDM cars of all time! I guess the next thing you need to get is a Skyline GTR...right? 👀
I can't believe Vin you sold the RX7 (one of my Fav), I thought you liked it enough and that it was one of the cars you wouldn't sell, like the GT3RS, but I guess the build is stronger than the keep.
Yo, this episode feels especially relatable to me because the only car I ever regretted having sold was an FC. 😢 Much as it pains me to see your rex leave, I totally get what you mean about it not feeling right because someone else built it. Having said that, any seller’s remorse you might come to feel probably isn’t anything a nice shiny twin-turbo kit for the Ferrari couldn’t cure…! 😊
If you ever want to sell the GTI I’m all for it!! my best friend and I started our friendship at 18 over our 1992 Jetta’s in 1994. Still going strong to this day. I have 2 in the Garage both rally cars. It’s a real story and parts and pieces in our main car have been part of our friendship from the beginning!
Awesome content. Keep it up Vin We just want to see your daily car adventures tbh. One thing that I would love to see is you and Jamie Orr on VW adventures in Brazil, maybe do a local build
If you could have back your grey Silvia S15 and the FD at the same time, which one would you choose to keep and why? For me they are pretty similar in experience and for what they offer (I think the S15 was one of your best cars to date). Love your content, keep it up!
We would all love to hold on to every car that we have loved & enjoyed but some times it is not practical as it is in this case & to see and meet the new owner, it is definitely going to a good home. Great vlog and really looking forward to the future content
Bro, the way you decorated that house, front yard, garage, the street entrance to the house is awesome! Kudos to you and your wife on a really well done project.
Mannnnn I would NOT have got rid of that yellow FD! That car is so perfect! But ill trust your process and hope to see whats in store for your channel in the future!
Thanks for letting me shoot the RX7 on one last drive around town! 💘
Full episode: ua-cam.com/video/ntQV_O5jQ3o/v-deo.html
Does the S in Sam stand for swag? Killer work man 🔥
cant wait to do the RS next!
621, the golden era of Hoon, daily transmission, moments that can’t be replicated.
That was a moment for sure
Man I miss Golden street
Such a frikken time man. Insane
Basically what kicked off the Hoonigan UA-cam channel.
What an Era. I need a Manline Tshirt!
7:40 the nostalgia of that music and that location hits hard. Man, I miss those days.
Sure do
😢
The music with 621 hit me hard, didn't expect that!
...also, all the doggo footage please.
It literally gime me the chills
So glad you're back making fresh content on UA-cam again. You, Scotto and Hert were the reason Hoonigan was such a great channel and this new chapter will be just as epic. Mk2 Vr6 project has me gassed up already!
More to come!
Deffo needs to collaborate with Hert 😎
Hahaha Epic Time!!! Thanks for the hospitality, definitely glad it worked out and I was able to add it to the JDM collection. 👌
You sure are photogenic 😂
@shdwrcr 😂💁♀️
Trying to tell you that you’re made for YT! Congrats on the FD again bro!
@@dLEARiousZ haha Thanks man! HGTV knew it too lol
Perfect new owner! Well done 👍
Mann seing the old burnyard with the og theme song really brought back good memories! I really love the videos, you're putting a lot of efforts in to them and it shows! 💯
Glad you enjoy it!
that scene hit me right in the feels 😶
PRO TIP> New pickup / drop off strategy at LAX... Have them meet at the new economy parking lot, or drop folks off at the new economy parking lot. The shuttles are quick both ways and it's hassle free. We park there when flying out on shorter trips, there's also a tram being built there now.
Vin should have been gifted a million subs since he has started back up .. such a good vibe when watching . Yo vin your an OG homie .
Not gonna lie, I felt sad seeing you sell the FD because it’s an iconic car….BUT this is going to be an epic journey for your channel….. while I eat my popcorn watching you do your thing Vin. Excited for you!
the silhouette got me, glad it wasnt what i thought. i think this was a good trade up, hope to see you improve the DDE boys vids with some modena goodness soon
15:24 the Mk2 singing the song of its people ❤
Man, this stuff makes me miss Ken. Although he’s gone, it gave everyone a chance to really do their own thing with their life! Cheers too all of you Hoonigan guys making your way!
I was so sad to see the fd gone but I completely got you when you said that it didn't feel like it was yours. I know I'd feel the exact same.
Totally makes sense. While the FD is a gorgeous machine, the Ferrari is just another level.
This scratches the old hoonigan itch, love the content.
I didn't think I would be following this series as close as I have been but it's really cool to see this channel organically grow and vin I genuinely having fun which I feel makes the whole channel.
Vin I gotta say you are four videos deep, your channel is an instant hit. Loving these vlogs keep up the awesome job!
Love the rage because of traffic! These Vlogs are real!
I think the 360 will be a great fun to build and customize!
I love hearing and seeing the care you take in the stories of your cars. It's admirable and not seen enough with a lot of car UA-camrs. Keep it up!
My buddy had an FD back in high school, still one of the best cars that I've ever been in, love how light and driver focused it is....solid sell/buy
Loving the content, I feel like you've been paying alot of attention to the production of your videos, the camera angles and all, just feels more produced than alot of other content, and i love it!
This getting quickly one of the best channels on the old UA-cam! Compliments! 👏⚡️
Dude, I love the community that you are "introducing" to us..
Can't wait to the common day/house/whatever episodes that are bound to happen
Much respect from Brazil
Keep it up ✌️✌️
Man can't wait to see what happens with the 360..doing great honestly you bring back old hoonigan vibes
Was a big fan of OG Hoonigan, and I'm not mad at the direction they are going in. Money is money. I'm a huge fan of this content though, Vin. Looking forward to the future of the channel.
Thanks man I appreciate it
So glad to see the Rx-7 go to another JDM lover, it will be cherished and fit well into his awesome collection. Loving your videos mate, keep up the good work!

I've had multiple 1st gens, currently have a 1980 with JDM factory fuel injected 12a turbo swap. Love rotaries
So true everyone should experience it once
Man, the times of 1 inch drag races and jumping the Miata on the sketchy ramps will always be missed.
Love the early morning release!
For the east coast peeps
Love the content bro, one of the best automotive channels on youtube at the moment.
Thank you so much! That means a ton
So gratifying to see one of your cars go to someone that will love it like you.
I like the whole straight swap. I traded an 05 Toyota Camery straight for an 07 Honda Fit Sport. Also did a straight trade with a 2015 Toyota Highlander for a 2010 Toyota FJ cruiser. Even got title and tags covered on both and walked away spending nothing. Both at used car dealers.
Literally how i got into my RS. Gotta start somehwere
Man who would have thought the 621 music would hit so hard? It probably sounds over dramatic but that was just better times. Pre Covid, Pre insane inflation of cost of living. I actually could afford car parts and dream about builds. Loved watching you boys back then living out the dream. Happy to have found you here.
Keeping the GT3RS was the right call.
I agree!
I got my whole family watching your videos together Vin! Love that your uploading man! Keep killing it !
Thanks!!
Those FD's are really going to go down as one of the most timeless designs ever made.
100%
621 hits you right in the feels. Specially with the DT intro song😮💨. Anyways badass video! Your anxious/happy/sad vibe for selling the Rx7 was hilarious🤣🤣🤣🦾.
It's awesome how excited you get about the cars and projects. It shows your passion for cars and makes the channel fun to watch👍
That is a pretty unrepeatable CYM FD, gooooooosh man. The rollers look great though for your own memory of it tho, probably the best way to have a FD
Only thing I'd change would be some streetporting for that c h o p but the noise is insane
I hate to say it, searing hot take, I'd take the FD over the 360 but I completely get it on the other hand 👌
Yeah I think the next fd will be a street port and probably not cym but something I can make mine without feeling bad.
@@vin_tra Eyyy, that'll be great whenever you get around to it! Big single+streetport would make for epic noises 👌👌
Scotto needs to cameo on the GTI build. I always look forward to Spikes Car Radio on Wednesday's and now Vin's Vlog makes my Thursdays. Keep it up!
Yeah I’ll get him on the vlog
Glad to see it come to FL, hope to run into it one day down here.
Tampa area
It’ll be out and about for sure ❤
Love buying cars from people like you! purchased 2 cars 5 months apart in Pheonix e36 M3 guy was terrible didnt meet up till after noon was trying to drive to seattle was dumb.

This is definitely my new favourite car channel, great videos dude. Keep up the great work my friend!!!
Love that Peebs the Prophet - Take a Moment instrumental in there as you got to LAX. Took me a minute to work out what song it was because I couldn't work out where I'd heard those strings before. But I knew the song in the back of my mind.

Got to see that rx7 in person this past weekend. It's in great hands and wow that paint is awesome in the Florida Sun!
She bright 😂
Channel just started but the quality is amazing. Keep up the good work
The best part of that was seeing the joy on your face seeing the joy on the buyers face.
Vinny u rock man! A pillar of the car community for years to come 🫡
The DT sound and seeing the old garage brought back the feels. Back when life was simpler, the internet was fun and I stayed up until 3am for videos sometimes.

Soon with Tommy
Love how organic your vlogs are. Keep it up with the fresh content
Let go Vin. Thank you for doing this channel. Such good OG hoonigan vibes. Keep it up bud.
This guy is a genuine car guy
I can't believe Vin you sold the RX7 (one of my Fav), I thought you liked it enough and that it was one of the cars you wouldn't sell, like the GT3RS, but I guess the build is stronger than the keep.
Yeah. It was the car I was least connected to but still hard to let go
Well I'm out. Never sell an f.d.
Yo, this episode feels especially relatable to me because the only car I ever regretted having sold was an FC. 😢
Much as it pains me to see your rex leave, I totally get what you mean about it not feeling right because someone else built it.
Having said that, any seller’s remorse you might come to feel probably isn’t anything a nice shiny twin-turbo kit for the Ferrari couldn’t cure…! 😊
Loved every second of this. Keep this up!!! Super stoked for the future of this Channel.
If you ever want to sell the GTI I’m all for it!! my best friend and I started our friendship at 18 over our 1992 Jetta’s in 1994. Still going strong to this day. I have 2 in the Garage both rally cars. It’s a real story and parts and pieces in our main car have been part of our friendship from the beginning!
Love the channel Vin!
YESSS
Love the "vibes" of your videos, this in particular. Very cozy and chill! Keep it up Vince' 😉
Man seeing the long beach spot. Rip hoonigan never been the same. Daily transmission was the peak. First thing i did every morning.
I hope my life is as cool as Vin's one day. Manifesting this energy.
That’s all it takes. You got it!
Great video. Love when you talk about trading or selling cars. From NJ and also love to start trading n flipping to what I want to own.
Loving your channel and your energy. Don’t burn yourself out making content, your so natural in front of the camera.
I’m enjoying it. 1 a week works for me to be able to make complete concepts for you guys
Good story telling and managing content. Respect man keep hitting it you doing yourself justice
Dude. I remember picking up my rx7 years ago. Same feeling. Wish I never sold it. 👊🏼
Sam’s such a cool dude, he shot one of my cars back in the day at wolfsgart with my then new born son. Some of my favorite pictures to this day 🙌

Just some wholesome bro content. My heart is happy on this Good Friday. 👍🏼
Dude, love the channel. It’s just the best. Your energy is amazing.
Awesome content. Keep it up Vin
We just want to see your daily car adventures tbh. One thing that I would love to see is you and Jamie Orr on VW adventures in Brazil, maybe do a local build
Get after it man. Really cool build. Glad to see you kicking it with dde
Pretty sick vlog. I love the audio too. The rx7 turbo whooshes were so crisp

@@vin_tra hell yeah, and it’ll be your own which is cooler
Loving this channel. Get it Vin!
If you could have back your grey Silvia S15 and the FD at the same time, which one would you choose to keep and why? For me they are pretty similar in experience and for what they offer (I think the S15 was one of your best cars to date). Love your content, keep it up!

We would all love to hold on to every car that we have loved & enjoyed but some times it is not practical as it is in this case & to see and meet the new owner, it is definitely going to a good home. Great vlog and really looking forward to the future content
You’re fine my friend 🎉I love your content ❤ a SUBSCRIBER AND DDE fan keep up the amazing content 😊
3 things bro: 1. Never ever ever sell the RS. 2. That RX7 was dope, but it was cool to see how happy that dude was. 3. Subscribed. 🤙🏼
Your videos are sooooooo much better than hurts! Keep it up!
Keep it up Vin! Good to see some Hoonigan projects being buttoned up
Bro, the way you decorated that house, front yard, garage, the street entrance to the house is awesome! Kudos to you and your wife on a really well done project.
thanks man. it was a fun project. also why i sold my s14 back in 2020 :(
Beautiful FD! 👌
Anyone who sells a car like that is invested in producing great content. Fair play vin you sir have continued the OG car scene spirit
Vin doesn't skip a beat. Absolutely love the content. ❤
Fresh content weekly is the best, good work Vin
vin seems so genuine and likeable. This is a great alternative to hoonigan.
The Brock Berrigan music. Hell yeah. Awesome vid bro.
Vin love that your back man good vibes miss the early days of hoonigan
Mannnnn I would NOT have got rid of that yellow FD! That car is so perfect! But ill trust your process and hope to see whats in store for your channel in the future!
It’s so dope to sell something to someone so stoked on the purchase! It takes away the pain of losing a love
Really enjoying all of the content you've been putting out. Can't wait to see the progress on all of the projects as well as the Raptor story.
From 1 Long Islander to another..... Noooooooo! Not the FD 😢
Nassau baby
Great Vid Vin, keep them coming. I was freaking out it was the 911 you where letting go... LOL
Can't wait to see the new build. Great video good work.
I stoked to see you with your own channel and to see you build a car .
Love these videos, definitely my new favorite channel. Please film a Volvo.
