Been working with/under Matt for about 4 years now. He's such a nice and humble guy. Always willing to teach and even take advice. Takes the time to be intimate and have real conversations with you.
@@jimmyconway8025 according to my research, he started a car lighting (headlights taillights) business when he was in school 2004/06, eventually the business grew to $100m+ revenue and he sold it to Wheel Pros group, that is the group that became HOONIGAN and went bankrupt in 2024. One of the brands that Matt created was Morimoto, under the driven light group umbrella in 2008. Hope it helps
That opening part, it's so beautiful when someone describe something so perfectly. When I goes for an analog side then even my cell goes off... my time, me and my church on wheels.
I grew up playing NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and the F50 was always my favourite car- I'd use it for every race - nice to see the owner actually enjoying the car and not leaving it parked up in a garage.
This almost bought tear to my eye. A real car guy living his life as he chooses. Not paycheck to paycheck and not on anyone elses dime. I wish we could all live this way. I would choose a low mileage AMG E55 or E63. Thats my dream
this sound mama mia 😭 no joke, the first thing i was thinking was need for speed most wanted in the first few secs of the video .. the leaf on a road with a yellow line, still remembering when i saw the game for the first time, with animated leafs and driving cars like the F50 .. idk if i will ever be able to afford a car like this, most likely not, but those cars of this era .. idk still can't put this into words really .. maybe it's childhood dreams and good old times . like he says in the video "this car is the most perfect one ferrari ever build" like times like in the 90s or like need for speed most wanted, it was just the perfect thing at the perfect time, and there will never again be something created like this . happy for your to be able to own a car like this .. hard work pays off ! huge motivation and amazing cinematic video, cheers man 👊🏽
HOLY COW this is the F50 I passed on 136 between Dahlonega and Jasper!! I passed you guys while you were photographing on that long straightaway right after the county line! My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw it because I'll never see one again.
This film is perfection…the videography, the road, the scenery, the down to earth owner and of course the car - expertly put together 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I can’t believe this content is free!
Sure, but what do you know about his starting point? The guy has millions on his garage, I find it hard to believe a young guy made all that by himself from the ground, but I guess it's possible. Sometimes I do some research on these automotive UA-camrs and they are basically from wealthy families, but of course everybody wants to sell themselves has the ultimate self made man.
The F50 was always one of my dream cars also since it was the first model car I got when I was a kid. I bet that thing is a blast driving through the North GA mountains!
Absolutely love the F50 ❤ thank you so much for sharing your beloved car with us. It’s also my Poster car back in the 90’s too. Congratulations to you brother 🙌🏻
I remember having a F50 diecast as my first Ferrari toy car when I was a kid, its etched in my brain as the first "red sports car" I loved. Personally I think along with the 550 Maranello, this is the Ferrari for enthusiasts to own.
I personally think this is the greatest car ever made and my unicorn. That na v12 is nuts. People say it isn’t beautiful and I agree and that’s a testament to how great I think it is, if you are actually a driver the beauty you would feel behind that wheel hearing that engine scream over rides everything else.
He said enjoy life in the moment... Remember to look within yourself, before you attach to the things around you. He is truly enjoying his life experience. ❤Gorgeous car.
This is THE ONE for me too! This car was on the cover of the first car magazine I got, gifted to me by my aunty when I was 8 years old. 🙂 I'm so happy for this guy to be able to afford one, and even more importantly - drive it! Don't give up on your dreams, guys! P.S. Amazing video production and atmosphere, I'm gonna subscribe until Petrolicious gets their shit together.
INCREDIBLE video... amazing car and the fact that it is the ONE that Ferrari used to unveil to the world with serial #2 makes it that much more unique and special. Really enjoyed the last minute or so of the video with just audio only of that V12 sitting right behind your head.
Very much enjoyed watching your pure analog king of the road Ferrari F50 supercar, but what I truly enjoyed the most was the essence of your achievement, the road of many of sacrifices and hard work that it took to make it to this point! It took me more than 35 years to achieve my own goals this year, now living in Malibu and buy my self a First Edition Lotus Emira V6 Manuel, a pure joy to drive! The roaring sound of your engine is very intoxicating!!! Thanks.😎
When I was a teenager I had a poster of the F50 in my room. Seeing it now really brings me back to that time. Thanks for that ending, never really heard a good clip of the F50's engine sound, it's glorious!
F50 is my dream car. It's the only Ferrari I have any type of affinity for. Salute to you sir for this achievement. I love seeing people reach their dreams.
I remember having this as a little toy car in the 90´s. I fell in love with the design of the car and i still remember that on the bottom of the car it said 0-100km/h in 3,9 seconds. That was so impressive to me that i never forgot it 😂Beautiful video and indeed a very beautiful car. Nowadays my dream is a Jaguar F-Type and i will buy one next year 😊
To wiggle the gear lever, to make sure it's in neutral in a gated shifter is ridiculous thing to do, as you clearly see where the lever is. And frankly, I would do the same. :D What a great short video, happy to see people attaining their dreams. :)
What a lucky man to own such a car. I'm sure you put in many long hours of hard work, so that wasn't the lucky part, the lucky part is knowing there's a limited amount of these on the entire planet, and they likely will never make a car like this ever again, to live in the only time period where this is possible, I mean wow, not many get to live that life. Congrats on owning such a beautiful and timeless machine, I would do anything to experience and know what its like being behind the wheel of the F50.
Awesome job! My first Analog car was a 1990 honda crx 5 speed and no power steering. Miss that car. That car was also a balanced car. Light and quick and felt the road.
I like Diablos. I like the old BMW 8 series. But nothing, I mean nothing comes close to the F50. And seeing it owned and driven by someone with a true passion for it... Beatiful! Thank you.
Perfection. Manual transmission, the glorious sound and thrust of an N/A V12, RWD. Open-top style has cues of classic 1950's sports prototypes; closed-top style has cues of 1960-70's sports prototypes with some F1 cues thrown in for good measure. Fantastic. Pierro Ferrari guided this project to perfection.
They are built in two pieces the front half and cockpit and the rear half with engine and transmission. The two halves have to be taken apart for a clutch service. Look it up you won’t believe seeing a $5 million dollar car split in half.
@@christopherbellisario9195 I was around 15 years old in '96 and my dad took me to "Ferrari of Dallas." They had a red one like his, and a baby blue one on the showroom floor. They were around $500k at the time I think. All I remember was that I couldn't believe I got to see two of them, and they looked insane in person, especially at that time. That, and the Ferrari dealer wanted us to just leave. Lol.
3:13 Need For Speed 2 top car was the McLaren F1, NOT the Ferrari F-50. Not to diminish it. It’s an unbelievably awesome car. But the NFS that had the F-50 had all the best cars of the 90s including the Jaguar XJ-220, Isdera Commendatore 112, et al.
Took me almost 3 decades to meet my hero at a Cars & Caffe event finally 2 years ago and hear it's music. It had been this white whale that kept eluding me at every car event-never around when I was. That alone was an out of body experience for me, having obsessed over this machine since I was a kid, but I can't imagine finally getting to own it! Amazing video and massive props for Matt actually enjoying the car to its fullest like we all dream we could. Such a rare thing to see. For me, it was Automobili Lamborghini on N64 that solidified my game obsession with the car.
Its my absolute dream car as well.. the fact that its number 2/349 is insane, since its probably the very car from our bedroom posters. Anyway not envy just very happy for you and please give me a ride if I ever come to Georgia ;-)
I rarely write on yt, but if by any chance you read this: You make us believe we can do it also! This car was MEANT to be yours and you deserve it. True petrolhead love story. Keep driving it and please never worry about the millage

not really. Miura, Ferrari 275 GTB, AM DB5, even Corvette '63 stingray and many others have something to say about it.

how is the f50 underrated? its right up there with the best of them. 🤷♀

This car, CLK GTR and McLaren F1 from NFS HP2 made me fall in love with cars
Matt is the man; I worked for him for 3 years. He is a stand-up guy.
