IโM A DAD!!!! After two miscarriages and a lot of trying and wishing and hoping, my son is here! And his first car ride is a fittingly awesome wagon bringing him home from the hospital! Iโm so excited!!!!!
Ten years ago today, I decided to quit my job and write about cars. This decision was criticized by almost everyone I knew. I earned $51,000 a year, I had a Porsche company car, and I had health insurance. Leaving that job was the single biggest risk of my entire life.
THIS... is amazing. The Carrera GT video is #1 on YouTube trending, which has never happened to me in 10 years on YouTube.
It's been truly amazing to hear so much support and positivity over the last 24 hours. Thank you to so many people who have said so many wonderful things!
I bought a Porsche Carrera GT, my dream car of more than 17 years!
Here's the story of my Carrera GT, and how I got here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZDXWUGโฆ
Today, nearly two billion views on YouTube. More than four million subscribers. And one successful car auction website. The last ten years have been filled with difficulty, anxiety, and uncertainty โ but theyโve also been tremendously rewarding. I wouldnโt change a thing.
HUGE news for me: @carsandbids has taken a significant investment from The Chernin Group to grow and improve. A major milestone for me and for the business, and I couldn't be more excited!
I will be on @TheSmokingTire podcast later today to discuss this and many other things.
I drove 300 miles through the desert today in the Carrera GT, on some amazing roads โ and through rain and a sand storm!
Itโs still intimidating, but Iโm getting more acclimated to it every dayโฆ
