Interesting evolution of this thread.

Initially it was mostly cynics/doubters (myself included). The OP has convinced most of us that he is legit. Now its reduced to haters.

Well done OP, you deserve your success. Move on people (unsubscribing).

Yes I look very young, which made it a lot funnier when I walked into the Chevrolet dealership and purchased a Stingray off the showroom floor. I told everyone I used my own money because MOST people assume my parents bought me these cars. But the truth is what I have stated above. That girl in the photo is my girlfriend who I have been dating since high school, we are both 20 and in college. There is your answers to all your questions.
Congrats on the cars man! Best of luck with your business ventures. I'll be checking out your youtube channel haha.

Haha. I was 52 before I could afford my V6 Camaro, and got a lucky promotion 18 months later just to upgrade to an SS. And I bought my first home at 22 for the price I paid for my SS.

I know I could make some seriously stupid videos. Maybe I should just go for it. OP you have inspired me.
To me, an adult, his videos are beyond stupid... but I feel the same about Frozen and look how much money that makes.

From what I can tell, OP seems to have invented the plush toy video genre and judging by how many views they get he is wildly popular. Go figure.

But I have complete and utmost respect for someone who can take Mario stuffed dolls, add some creativity and hard work, and turn it into at least two really nice cars.

F***ing awesome.

It rubs people the wrong way when a kid gets a 1LS camaro given to them as a gift yet when a younger person is able to buy nice cars with their own money they are ridiculed the same. Can't please anyone on here.. Smh

Nice cars OP. The C7's are absolutely beautiful.

Indeed... on the videos.
HOWEVER, do a little bit more homework on all this. Then, common sense. I'll leave it at that.

Some of you should seriously lighten up. If the kid didn't expect to get some ribbing after his original post then he is very naïve.

The fact that you can make that kind of money making plush toy videos reinforces another saying. "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public"

I was a bit doubtful at 1st till I read further. Congrats to the OP. I had my 1st paying job at 12 (maybe 11) cleaning snake cages. Saved up enough so at 16 I bought my 1st car. (1969 Camaro) was only $3k so I guess I was not as successful as the OP at my 1st job.
Glad that he came on and explained without a childish comments or getting angry.
