    The comments here are truly amazing -- I am honestly overwhelmed by all of the incredible support. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels. I know a lot of UA-camrs buy a lot of exotic cars, so I wasn't entirely sure how this would go -- but I'm so, so thankful that everyone understands just how truly meaningful this is to me. Truly, truly, thank you -- for your support today and over the last 10 years.
    By the way, something I forgot to mention in this video: every single year on July 15, I call my friend Brett to commemorate our Carrera GT sighting back in 2005 and to catch up. Every year, for 17 years, even on my wedding day! :)

      You can tell it's even more than that. It's well beyond his dreams. Hopefully this happens for everyone. I don't mean a supercar. Just something happens to you that is so far off your radar, you didn't even dare dream it. Whether it's getting that girl, that car, that house, that job, that trip, whatever. Just be sure you get out there and do something, everyday. Try new things, get out of your comfort zone. You never know where it's gonna take you.

      That smudge is literally one of the best things about this video.
      It's evidence that at this moment everyone, else in the world is invisible to him. That he transcended to a higher state of being where undeveloped people resemble rattlesnakes-angry little animals making senseless noise and who want to spite you, just for not being them, as he drives past them in a Carrara GT. This is nothing to burden yourself with, that's just the nature of the world. And he's just Doug. The remaining fucks he has to give to people he can't see or hear is a precise zero.
      In case anyone was wondering.
      The pure freedom in his heart and spirit is beautiful to see in his smile. (p.s. this post was more for me than anything but I'm posting it instead of deleting it so if it helps someone else then that's great too)

      Obviously, it's very good to be Doug. One thing i've noticed in life is that once you obtain the title, degree, home, wealth benchmark or mechanical item you seek, you soon realize that it was the pursuit rather than the attainment that was really the enjoyment. To this day I think there's a lot of new Corvettes sold off the showroom to people that say to their friends "I could afford a new Corvette if I wanted too..here hold my beer".
      Then months down the road the shine starts to wear off and some of the warts start to show so the pursuit often begins again. I'm happy for Doug, its big jump from a $150K (ish) Ford GT, to a 7 Figure Carrera GT.

I really enjoyed to listening story of your dream car and seeing that you achived that dream. You are a grown man but your eyes, your face, your sound perfectly reflects that 16 years old kids passion and excitement. Hell of a story, hell of a road. Congrats man and thank you for years of car reviews and passion, good, detailed and educational content about cars.
    I got a little, short story too, i don’t know you could read or anyone care but i just want to tell.
    I’m a petrolhead / car enthusiast too. My passion is about Ferrari. I’m from Turkey. In first month of 2008, Shell decided to gifting Ferrari toy/model cars again. In those times; i’m 9-9.5 years old and i didn’t know so many things about car. But i did love cars and my favorite color was red, still red. I see that Ferrari commercial with Schumi on TV. I wasn’t know what is a Ferrari but i was excited and i wanted that toys.
    One days my father bought some gas in a Shell station. I wanted a toy and he said “Okay go and get your toy”. I went to the Shells market and i told that man I want the black Ferrari.
    He said “Unfortunately we don't have any black Ferraris left. But you can take this one. This one is a brand new and succesful Ferrari too”. It was a Ferrari F430 Challenge and it literally directed my life. In that day i met with the meaning of my life, Ferrari. I loved Ferrari and i learned about Ferrari. With years, Ferrari become the very thing that defines me and shaped my life. My all time dream Ferrari is F40 because she is the most Ferrari Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari’s last love, build for only race feeling, performance on road. I never even see one because my country is not really into cars. My feelings about Ferrari and F40 is just like your feelings about Carrera GT. I want to own my beautiful F40 some day. And i’m working for it. But not only F40. F40 is my favorite Ferrari road car all time, so far okay. But my life’s meaning is Ferrari word’s definition. Racing passion, dream cars, feeling, freedom. Ferrari is not a race team or a brand or a surname. Ferrari is the passion about four wheels. Ferrari didn’t designed first roadcar or racecar. But gave them soul. Ferrari is my life’s meaning and purpose.
    Right now i’m 24 years old senior Engineering Student. My only purpose is became a succesful engineer in Ferrari. Making Ferraris better. Making Ferrari great again in people’s vision. Inspiring chields with dream cars and racing success. Dream racecars. I hope some day i can succeed just like you and show everyone that true car enthusiast’s sparkle in my eyes. Congrats again, i’m really, truely happy for you.
