The Joe Rogan Experience that [ __ ] vehicle that you have built is the most ridiculous thing I've ever been inside in my life I can't believe how fast it is like we only did the speed limit today right yeah but we got there very quick we got there very quickly yes 1817 horsepower and uh 3 000 pounds so you got some power weight ratio to work with there that's like 700 more horsepower than a Tesla plaid yeah it's like taking a McLaren 765lt and adding a thousand horsepower to it something nobody needs but we've sold 36 of those the Venom F5 what is that what happened to you in your life that you needed to make these Preposterous cars well you know like what what is going on yeah how did you get to be this guy like what did uh how did this start out where you you're making these 1800 horsepower it's probably kind of like you know the pool hall deal when we were younger like I didn't have a good relationship with my old man he was a car guy but we didn't get along and I don't know maybe 60 years later you know I'm 60 now I've got you know I still feel like I got a little chip on my shoulder or something to prove maybe a little bit less now but but for sure isn't it interesting that you would never want that to your for your son no but boy is that a great motivating factor oh for sure for sure yeah I'd live up you know grow up in a kind of an abusive situation and neglect and uh you know now all of a sudden I've got all this motivation I've had all this motivation for the last you know 40 Years of my business career so it's been good it's funny because you would never want that for your children no I mean it's amazing how well it's worked out for people like you or for me yeah I mean I I you know I don't think everybody out there that has some level of success has not necessarily been abused and motivated by negativity but I can definitely see with our five kids with the nurture mainly from my wife hope they're going to turn out just fine and they'll be plenty successful but you know that's just I don't know your story but that's that's my that's my road now I got here it can lead you to be very ambitious and very successful but it can also just [ __ ] your life up oh sure and you can be very ambitious and very
successful and also be like happy like that's absolutely that's possible too yeah you don't have to have a tortured childhood for sure no very very blessed I mean you know to have an opportunity to build toys for people you know whether it's a you know a seven eight hundred thousand horsepower pickup truck or a Venom F5 uh you know we're talking earlier is about first world problems right yeah something nobody really needs Nobody Needs to Go to comedy show or MMA but they do it for entertainment I tell people all the time we're more and there's Stars up there yeah why am I running a little Choice after the Rick for flare gummy bear and they're going to really start flying yeah yeah so uh now feel very blessed and we're definitely uh you know people come to us because they want to entertain themselves with their vehicles that's a great way of looking at it too because that's really what those kind of cars are like when I try to describe my love of old muscle cars for people because you know they kind of are not super reliable yeah they're not so great at handling sure and you know so I turn them I get them done into Resto mods but still they're but when I drive them the experience is entertaining it's like a ride like I'm not just in a Corolla I'm not just in some quiet Subaru I'm gonna ride but does it take like when you drive your Land Cruiser you drive you know one of your older cars does it take you back to that time either when you had that car you aspire to have that car you knew the guy or the girl that had that car kind of growing up and you wanted it back then but you didn't know how you're going to get it oh yeah for sure with my Chevelle definitely because my Chevelle I have a 1970s uh black with the White Stripes The Tuxedo Chevelle sure what's that you got the calendar on the hood yeah well it actually is uh a 454 under the hood and uh Colvin Casey colvin's you know yeah okay big Viper guy yeah [ __ ] love that dude yeah he hooked up the cow so that it when the ignition those vacuum hoses that get old and crack and yeah it's uh when I was a kid when I was about 16 years old one of my friends picked me up his friend had a 1970 Chevelle we were going somewhere and uh I just remember getting in the backseat of the car going how is it
possible that this kid owns this car yeah this is crazy yeah it was the best looking car I'd ever seen in my life
