True story: When I go to car shows, if your car is there, and you have crusty, dull milky looking headlight lenses, I'm likely to polish only one of them to make your car look like it's been wrecked. I'm mean. I do it to force you to have to polish the other one. I've done it at DSMCA Get Togethers, Dyno Days, and if I hadn't dropped my last bottle of metal polish and broken it open right before the trip... I would have done it for sure at the shootout. It's premeditated. I've been doing it to people for a decade. Don't be a victim of oxidized headlights. Use tape on the body around the lens if they're on the car so you don't have to be so careful about your paint.
See I just leave the headlights in my car and use 80 grit. Lol nah I detail at work and buffed my headlights to a new life. Love the glass lenses on my corrado.
Jafromobile glass headlights FTW 😉😁 cool trick though. Couldn't help but Wonder, you think White Diamond metal polish would be gentle enough, yet adequate on my tail lights? 🙄
Thanks for the great video Jafro! Riding along with you made me miss the old FWD traction issues. Enjoy your car and I'll be looking forward to your next video as always!
I went and bought some Holden Commodore V8 wagon ultra low rear springs for my BMW E36, they fit the same, but were way thicker and stiffer! and the car sits at a regular height, with less rear squat and transfers the body roll to the front, which is handled by a thicker front sway bar, im a firm believer of using what fits, my cars are all made from random parts, if you have a good grasp of engineering and physics, and can apply it to your part choices, then go for it, heck thats how most prototype cars are made. cheers for being suck a great bloke Jafro! i realy enjoy your informative content! keep up the good work.
I really enjoy watching these videos. Also like the no nonsense honesty too with your R&D as well. A previous Elantra videos of yours massively helped me to do a gearbox swap in a similar Mitsubishi platform based car. A Proton Satria GTI. Had a thought, sometimes a cheaper tyre is not always a bad thing. As they'll break traction, before something more important breaks. Fair enough at the strip switch out to a much better and grippier tyre. Sucks when stuff goes bang when you're just trying to drive the car and not even leaning on it.
I've been binge watching your channel for two days, and this is the first one that I laughed out loud multiple times at. I actually made my wife watch the part where you smashed the headlight box on the ground. Keep up the good work!
I had to show my father this video just for the fact of the rear springs. We have a 2001 Chevy van with 280000 miles and he thinks the front suspension doesn't need to be changed. After showing him this video and how collapse those springs were, he ordered new springs for it and can't wait to see his reaction when installed. We experience bump steer like crazy with every little pot hole it send the steering wheel to the left immediately after a hit
Hey Jafro! I found your channel only a few days ago and man I wish i've found it earlier.. Already watched most of your videos, love your creativity about approaching a problem and solving it instead of buying loads of expensive parts. Thanks for all the knowledge and "how-to" stuff you're sharing with us in these videos. Although I'm a motorcycle technician, I'm starting to convience myself that I need to build a racecar just by spending hours on your channel :D Keep up the good work! Cheers from Hungary
wow Jafro, your state is tuff! In jersey we only have emission"s..heck my 25 year old Toyota just doesn't even need to get a tag ever again cause they got rid of the old sniffer test for 25 year cars and older.
I'd like to see you rig some narrower coilovers on the front from another car and put some wider tires on. I love your rear suspension idea. Ingenious.
I would too! Except that I couldn't turn if I did. :( It's not just the spring diameter causing this. The drag slicks that I have rub the inner fender and frame (prior to the front end fix I performed in the previous video), so I'd have to cut away the frame and replace it to pull it off safely. On this car if I want to go wider, I have to go outward or else re-engineer the unibody front end.
If you really want to keep your mods cheap, then try a fender roller. Check out how much this guy flared out his fender with a roller: ua-cam.com/video/dF5uA1u7Mts/v-deo.html If you aren't attached to that little flat lip around your fender, you could contour that sucker with the surrounding body panel and add between 0.25"-0.5".
Came here to say this. Did my wife's forester(01) and my legacy(95) at the same time. Used the 3m sealant for hers, and clear coat for mine. Guess which one I have to redo a year later? Hers. Mine's like new
literally got giddy overseeing a new Jafro vid :) Got ya going in my garage right now as I sort the headlight issue in my mustang. She likes to burn out the switches and my stereo dims them big time; some relays and more direct power is going to do the job nicely.
Grounds were fine, but for my winter project on this car I've been doing a wire tuck on it because the wiring on the Fox body mustangs is hideous. Charging harness did end up having alot of green death on it, so im replacing the lethargic 90 amp alternator with a newer gen 130 amp alt and all new wiring for it. New alternator and wiring mod should stop the headlights from dimming and the car nearly stalling under heavy bass (loud exhaust + no sound dampening= sub woofer.....apperently, got the car this way). She's an on going project to take someones beat up track pig back to a more drive-able state while not losing any of the performance.
I love that you're still soldiering on with this tired old and now obscure chassis. It would so easy to swap it out for something more popular and newer but half the appeal of your videos is the schadenfreud that comes with you suffering the obscurity of bespoke performance parts. Would that make it a "triumph in the face of obscurity"? Ok ok i know, im done. 😋
I got lucky and found BC coilovers on an 06 lancer at picknpull and got them for $50. I've adapted them to fit my talon and will finally have decent suspension.
Literally laughed out loud when that box hit the concrete. And I don't ever want to hear you say "3 fingers in the rear" again. It sounds like a demented proctology exam.
ive got a big smile on my face because i just discovered a new creator to watch. love the pace of the video. love the cheesy jokes!! love the attention to detail. and I love old beaters!!!
Jafromobile is my favorite, but a very partial list of similar channels include Tom's Turbo Garage, Velocity Labs, Bad Obsession Motorsports, Boosted Beaver, Joe Wrenches, and several more good channels that hopefully will come up in the suggestions list when you start watching some of those videos.
Jafromobile- send me a list next time your looking for something- I’ll check the yards down here for ya! 👍 got like 4 within a 20 min drive. So cal yards are HUGE. Seen plenty of Hyundai’s😉
I wanted to stiffen up and lower the front suspension of the my ford courier. My initial theory was to cut mustang II springs. Thinking that by cutting the springs that it would raise the spring rate yet lower the the truck. It should have (in my mind) raised back up to factory Courier spring rate since they were a softer spring). Well it lowered the truck alright but the ride was way too soft. It would bottom out terribly. I calculated spring rate incorrectly. Anyway, I ended up going with 81 mustang springs and cutting a few coils. It worked perfectly. The ride is great and it handles so much better. Next is a larger sway bar in the front and adding one in the rear as well has a panhard bar. Love your videos and how you use parts from different vehicles for you builds.
I found a chart on the Moog website with all their OE replacement springs, sorted by ID/Length, said, "OMG, those are 510 lbs! Oh look, one end's squared, one's tangential. Those will be 'perfect'!" :)
Hi jafro, about your car pulling to the right, you should adjust your front right chamber to be more negative. Let say your left side chamber is at - 0° 28'', your right side would be about - 0° 33''. Because our road isnt flat. In your case is left hand drive vehicle. In my country is right handed vehicle. So i done it opposite way.
get yourself some zestino semi slicks for daily driving their medium compound (thread wear 180) is genuinely amazing . their soft would be a bit too much for daily but medium is a nice compromise
Good job glad to see progressing know where their is a still runnig stock Gallant auto trans but i loved driving it hugged the road and was quick. a nefew has it now its in Calif.
I use a soft cloth wheel in a drill and drywall mud and a water hose running a little water over them while buffing . takes about 2 minuites . when glueing plastic take ot to an rc shop and they will give you the proper glue for the plastic its kinda like welding where you want to use the proper rod.
Talk to some folks on DSM web sites such as dsmtuners before you send it to a junkyard. Not all the parts in a '90 Mirage are of interest to them, but for any of the parts that do fit, you're much more likely to get a better price than the pittance you'll get from a salvage buyer. Or just watch videos from Jafro and Velocity Labs and Project Binky and friends until you have an unstoppable itch to fix it up yourself. :-)
Make sure your LCA bushings are good. That might be a spoiler alert... but... while you're at it... If you're having traction issues, scrutinize the sway bar bushings and end links as well.
The only good thing with the headlight detailing kits, or restoration kits is they come with a UV treatment to prevent them re fogging as easily or as quickly since you've removed the outer treated layers of the plastic.
Cool, more Jafro. It's been a while... Springrate and damping are matched from the factory and in well-designed aftermarket and custom setups. Are you concerned that the Aztek springs are going to be way too much for the stock shocks, particularly their rebound damping?
Maybe the tires are causing the pull. Sorry if you've already tried rotating them in a previous episode. She's coming along. It'll be a beast once it's dialed in.
i've got to do something similar for my 90s accent, got a custom trailer hitch on it so i can tow my boat, tows fine but with all the stuff i have in my hatch i got sag for days, got subs, extra battery, spare tire, rolling floor jack, toolbox etc lol
Hi Jafro, I really enjoy watching your videos and I have been checking in over the course of 4 years. I had a couple of questions maybe you could answer for me. I have a 1998 eagle talon tsi with 178k and it blows blue smoke at idle. The car is totally stock and I can't figure out why it does this. The second question is for a 97 tsi 1G built motor 18k, 80K original miles on the body of the car. Currently there is a leak coming from the water pump. I think this may have happened either because I put on a stock radiator cap on an aluminum radiator or it was because the car was just running with water for about a month after it was swapped to an aluminum radiator, not done by me. Anyway, I'm lost as what to do and hopefully maybe you have some advice on how to proceed? I appreciate your time and help in the matter. Thank you kindly
I'm winging it just as fast as I can! Think about where I'm coming from... I make half-hour videos, and the average hour of video I shoot ends up being 48 seconds. lol. It's... I mean... 'talk about minimizing your efforts. But I get it man, upload days are my happiest, too! :)
How much power/traction do you think the transmission can handle? I really want to see some aftermarket rims that have an offset that will support some wider tires. I've had more fun running wider street tires than thinner slicks. Not a slick fan over here...too poor ;)
It's a shame those cars are disappearing so fast. Not that they were all that good to begin with, but they make a great sleeper with the right mods - as you know. Unfortunately, people in the US don't generally go in for the sleeper style - in-your-face style (aka R.I.C.E.) seems much more popular currently. PS: I think you're right about Blackhurst. But as Richard once said...he's also a colossal f***trumpet. :-D
I'm thinking I need to dial out the overlap out of the camshafts and increase the lobe separation angle. It's at 103 right now, and I think a 107-109 would work better. I'm not sure I can even achieve that with these cams, but it's where I'm heading next if the tune doesn't work.
Hi Jafro. Is there any way I can listen to Rojo del Chocolate's music? I have searched at Deezer and also in YT but no luck. Thanks for sharing all your great work!
This is complicated. I've suggested he produce an album, and his reply was... "No, because then UA-cam will suck you up in a copyright filter and demonetize all your videos." While money can't buy friends like that, I believe he deserves money for what he's done for me, and should do it. I really do get this question a lot. People love him or they hate him, but 95% of the comments and questions are clearly from fans, and prove he's an enormous underground success.
hi sir，need your help about outboard motor。i buy a used 2002 suzuki df115 four stroke EFI，four cylinder 16valve fuel inject engine just like a car engine，15 years ago，some strange noise from inside when the motor running in idle speed but disappear in 1000+ rpm and over，it sound like a diesel engine （da da da da da）what do you think of this sound come from？may be crankshaft bearing？ if i rebuild this motor and replace all the parts which is out of service limit（all new parts was oem parts），and do this following the Suzuki service manual step by step，pay attention with the clearance、journal and torque 。when the job done，the motor can be running as 80% quality as a brand new one？what about the durability and stability after rebuild？
Your a smart guy but I have a kind of opposite problem of what you have and why its a problem. I have a great looking car. Lotus Esprit SE. But the power is just not there. Sure itll toast a subaru but I bet your elantra would smoke me. I have an old journal bearing turbo a cast manifold. Gm batch fire injection and an intake plenum that is 2,000cc too small. I started making a new plenum but what should I do next? Exhaust turbo or fueling? I was thinking about a chinese GTX3076R ball bearing with a billet wheel. 500$ or a haltech elite 750 for 1000$
That freaking headlight spring bounce clip induced one of the loudest spit take shout laughs this year.
Nice work as always dude.
Happy birthday to the GROUND!
That's not my dad!

That's why I like the glass headlights on my cabby, to keep strangers from polishing them. :)

Jafromobile glass headlights FTW 😉😁 cool trick though. Couldn't help but Wonder, you think White Diamond metal polish would be gentle enough, yet adequate on my tail lights? 🙄
I would be honored if you polished half the lenses on my 90 TSi at the shootout.
"Sweet Project Cars" likes to use Mothers Aluminum polish, I tried it, worked good.
Thanks for the great video Jafro! Riding along with you made me miss the old FWD traction issues. Enjoy your car and I'll be looking forward to your next video as always!
Tj hunt... adam lz.. mcm.. and fuck! I only get excited when Jafro uploads!!!! Hail for jafro and for always keeping it technical!!!
Tsikriteas Spyros if you're watching TJ hunt you're going to have a bad time
gonzostwin1 hahahahahahahhaha its car stuff :p when nothing else to watch.. i go there. Anyways, good content like Jafros dont get uploaded daily.
I went and bought some Holden Commodore V8 wagon ultra low rear springs for my BMW E36, they fit the same, but were way thicker and stiffer! and the car sits at a regular height, with less rear squat and transfers the body roll to the front, which is handled by a thicker front sway bar, im a firm believer of using what fits, my cars are all made from random parts, if you have a good grasp of engineering and physics, and can apply it to your part choices, then go for it, heck thats how most prototype cars are made.
cheers for being suck a great bloke Jafro! i realy enjoy your informative content! keep up the good work.
I had to replay a part of your video when i noticed the St. Chaos shirt. Yet another reason to love you and your videos. Rah
This is funny, finally some garage self made sleeper videos that are actually watchable
Always great when jafro puts up a new video ! The sound effects at the "finger test" almost killed me hahaha !
If they’re springs they should bounce lmfao. Literally laughed out loud! Thanks for that man!
This video actually had me laughing my ass off for the better half of it. Christ Jaffro, I love your work so much.
Came here from BadObsession recommendation, Great channel!!!!!! keep up the good work,
cheers from Israel
I loves me some Project Binky! If I were Prime Minister, I'd make B.O.M. Day a national holiday.

As a fellow car enthusiast that lives in Virginia.... I feel the whole need to get inspected problem...

Love watching your videos Mang. You are definitely one of my favorite creators I "support" on Patreon. You deserve way more subscribers too.

@22:25 I was in tears when Nich mentioned cheap tires and called them "Wu-tang Ditchfinders" lol.

Before you wax the headlight buckets a few minutes with a rattle can of clear coat to seal the lens helps a ton

Nice Avatar! I see that yours is bigger than mine...
Jafromobile Lol! Sadly, it doesn't count anymore... went to a good friend. It was to go on my 89 Dodge panel minivan. So much firewall room! 3.0 6g72
Literally laughed out loud when that box hit the concrete. And I don't ever want to hear you say "3 fingers in the rear" again. It sounds like a demented proctology exam.
ive got a big smile on my face because i just discovered a new creator to watch. love the pace of the video. love the cheesy jokes!! love the attention to detail. and I love old beaters!!!
axwapples you're in for a treat jaff is the best you've for allot of catching up to do get watching
Jafromobile is my favorite, but a very partial list of similar channels include Tom's Turbo Garage, Velocity Labs, Bad Obsession Motorsports, Boosted Beaver, Joe Wrenches, and several more good channels that hopefully will come up in the suggestions list when you start watching some of those videos.
"rub it like Nanook" - jafro you killin' bud!
I loved the box spring, and drivers rear. Ended my week on a high note, lol! Keep it up!
Jafromobile- send me a list next time your looking for something- I’ll check the yards down here for ya! 👍 got like 4 within a 20 min drive. So cal yards are HUGE. Seen plenty of Hyundai’s😉
I enjoy this build so much, it's turning out perfect. If you ever need some parts there's a few more parts here in Europe too.
I wanted to stiffen up and lower the front suspension of the my ford courier. My initial theory was to cut mustang II springs. Thinking that by cutting the springs that it would raise the spring rate yet lower the the truck. It should have (in my mind) raised back up to factory Courier spring rate since they were a softer spring). Well it lowered the truck alright but the ride was way too soft.

Love your videos and how you use parts from different vehicles for you builds.
The humor is a nice add, thanks for the laughs.
Great job. The stance looks great. I’m sure it will settle in time. How did you lookup the springs by size?
I found a chart on the Moog website with all their OE replacement springs, sorted by ID/Length, said, "OMG, those are 510 lbs! Oh look, one end's squared, one's tangential. Those will be 'perfect'!" :)
Love the sound effects!
Great video as always.
Hi jafro, about your car pulling to the right, you should adjust your front right chamber to be more negative.

So i done it opposite way.
Still...the best auto content on YT!
Great movie as always. Waiting impatiently for more...
Good job! Its great! I would take 5 min to respray the wiper arms though, it makes a big difference for no work.
Bad Obsession Motorsport whoop whoop! Awesome video as usual Jafro!
get yourself some zestino semi slicks for daily driving their medium compound (thread wear 180) is genuinely amazing . their soft would be a bit too much for daily but medium is a nice compromise
Can't wait until the next video, your vids are so informative and great to watch very detailed next jafro.
Good job glad to see progressing know where their is a still runnig stock Gallant auto trans but i loved driving it hugged the road and was quick. a nefew has it now its in Calif.
I use a soft cloth wheel in a drill and drywall mud and a water hose running a little water over them while buffing . takes about 2 minuites . when glueing plastic take ot to an rc shop and they will give you the proper glue for the plastic its kinda like welding where you want to use the proper rod.
What should I do with a 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage that has been wrecked in the rear-end motor and transmission is good
Talk to some folks on DSM web sites such as dsmtuners before you send it to a junkyard. Not all the parts in a '90 Mirage are of interest to them, but for any of the parts that do fit, you're much more likely to get a better price than the pittance you'll get from a salvage buyer. Or just watch videos from Jafro and Velocity Labs and Project Binky and friends until you have an unstoppable itch to fix it up yourself. :-)
OMG how have you not cleaned up those window wipers! =p
Hey jafro....I was super stoked when you were mentioned on Project Binky... BTW.. Any news on the Galant?
fun project. I love stuff that is different that nobody would ever think twice about.
Reminds of BulletDsm 2gnt racecar he used stock sebring/avenger rear springs with kyb agx.
Thanks for your videos I'll be doing the springs on my 90 GST😎
Make sure your LCA bushings are good. That might be a spoiler alert... but... while you're at it... If you're having traction issues, scrutinize the sway bar bushings and end links as well.
Jafromobile. There are brand new except for the sway bar thanks for the info
The only good thing with the headlight detailing kits, or restoration kits is they come with a UV treatment to prevent them re fogging as easily or as quickly since you've removed the outer treated layers of the plastic.
Jafro, you got those headlights from my state. Yay Iowa did something right for once in its boring life.
Holy shit when you bounced the "new" headlights off the garage floor haha
Hey @jafromobile as a United States Marine I highly approve of that shirt. Mattis 20’
Cool, more Jafro. It's been a while...
Springrate and damping are matched from the factory and in well-designed aftermarket and custom setups. Are you concerned that the Aztek springs are going to be way too much for the stock shocks, particularly their rebound damping?
19:21 I own and daily an E39... they have infamously fragile plastic adjusters :( Parts are plentiful though.
Would longer bump stops not have been an option? My old mk3 jetta had about 120mm worth, sort of a cheap progressive spring.
also the turn signal in my 96 bronco has had the bulb held in by the same piece of duct tape for almost a decade now.
6 minutes was a bit of a trip seeing Walter White and Saint Mattis in the same frame.
They're both patron saints of chaos! You know... RojoD.C. said the exact same thing about that fleeting moment! lol! Thanks for paying attention!
The joke at 5:28 worked. :-)
Blame RojoDelChocolate for that. It was totally his idea. :)
When are you going to work on your gvr4? Just picked up a 92 #470 would love to see what you would do with it? Keep boosting.
Richard Williams ditto!
Maybe the tires are causing the pull. Sorry if you've already tried rotating them in a previous episode. She's coming along. It'll be a beast once it's dialed in.
With newer Chevy Malibus, you have to pull the bumper, fender liner, and partially remove the fender to change a headlight bulb
i've got to do something similar for my 90s accent, got a custom trailer hitch on it so i can tow my boat, tows fine but with all the stuff i have in my hatch i got sag for days, got subs, extra battery, spare tire, rolling floor jack, toolbox etc lol
Nice St. Mattis shirt!
Hi Jafro, I really enjoy watching your videos and I have been checking in over the course of 4 years. I had a couple of questions maybe you could answer for me.

Love the sound effects. Laughing even the Third time i watch this video. thanks
You need a milwakuee M12 ratchet. Tightening the top hat bolts would have been so easy :)
How about some weight related mods? Maybe saving some weight in the interior and the rear and put something in the front?
We need another vid jafro... im in withdrawal already!
I'm winging it just as fast as I can! Think about where I'm coming from... I make half-hour videos, and the average hour of video I shoot ends up being 48 seconds. lol. It's... I mean... 'talk about minimizing your efforts. But I get it man, upload days are my happiest, too! :)
Best video man. Looking forward your more videos!
Just subbed man. Keep them vids coming love em.
How much power/traction do you think the transmission can handle? I really want to see some aftermarket rims that have an offset that will support some wider tires. I've had more fun running wider street tires than thinner slicks. Not a slick fan over here...too poor ;)

Unfortunately, people in the US don't generally go in for the sleeper style - in-your-face style (aka R.I.C.E.) seems much more popular currently.
PS: I think you're right about Blackhurst. But as Richard once said...he's also a colossal f***trumpet. :-D
your vids are so informative and i like it. please keep it up.
I'm a simple man I see jafro I upvote then I watch
Thanks man! I always up vote you, then read your comment!
Jafromobile I do want you to know every time you post I lose a couple of hours rewatching my favorite vids love ya jaff keep it up
Wonder if some of that on/off switch behavior can be improved with further part throttle tuning.
I'm thinking I need to dial out the overlap out of the camshafts and increase the lobe separation angle. It's at 103 right now, and I think a 107-109 would work better. I'm not sure I can even achieve that with these cams, but it's where I'm heading next if the tune doesn't work.
Can you recommend any of the aids plus the spring
for stability in the front and back
Ride the stabilizer
or the original
send with the video
That headlight bouncing bit was gold!! Hahaha
Jafro, where did you get those bit holder straps that are wrapped around your drill?
Can you use any parts from a 94 Elantra 4g car? My local yard has had one for years. Untouched clean interior.
Hi Jafro. Is there any way I can listen to Rojo del Chocolate's music? I have searched at Deezer and also in YT but no luck. Thanks for sharing all your great work!
This is complicated. I've suggested he produce an album, and his reply was... "No, because then UA-cam will suck you up in a copyright filter and demonetize all your videos." While money can't buy friends like that, I believe he deserves money for what he's done for me, and should do it. I really do get this question a lot. People love him or they hate him, but 95% of the comments and questions are clearly from fans, and prove he's an enormous underground success.
Stiffer motor mounts, r888 toyos 225/50/15, full coilovers, traction bars
"If they're springs, they should bounce." *YEET*
should've left the springs as is for the Mad Max rake ;)
St. Mattis shirt! Love it!
have you considered longer wheel studs with a weld in spacer ?
I like your videos. Would you ever get an Evo or STI? Would love to see you work on those platforms
Saint Mattis!
SAAA-LUTE!
Saint Mattis of Quantico !! Love the shirt :-D
I noticed it also lol, nice
It is possible to change the dongle behind the Elantra
Can you explain how it works
Please tell me you used an actual slide whistle for the sound effects
Yah! New Jafromobile video ... Awesomesauce! :o)
hi sir，need your help about outboard motor。i buy a used 2002 suzuki df115 four stroke EFI，four cylinder 16valve fuel inject engine just like a car engine，15 years ago，some strange noise from inside when the motor running in idle speed but disappear in 1000+ rpm and over，it sound like a diesel engine （da da da da da）what do you think of this sound come from？may be crankshaft bearing？
if i rebuild this motor and replace all the parts which is out of service limit（all new parts was oem parts），and do this following the Suzuki service manual step by step，pay attention with the clearance、journal and torque 。when the job done，the motor can be running as 80% quality as a brand new one？what about the durability and stability after rebuild？
Your a smart guy but I have a kind of opposite problem of what you have and why its a problem. I have a great looking car. Lotus Esprit SE. But the power is just not there. Sure itll toast a subaru but I bet your elantra would smoke me. I have an old journal bearing turbo a cast manifold. Gm batch fire injection and an intake plenum that is 2,000cc too small. I started making a new plenum but what should I do next? Exhaust turbo or fueling? I was thinking about a chinese GTX3076R ball bearing with a billet wheel. 500$ or a haltech elite 750 for 1000$
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING!!!!!
I fucking love your videos. Great to just listen to your commentary. Hilarious.
Smashing those headlights made my life
Yey!!! Jafro is back!
