Got a chance to sit down with my buddy Quan Tran who is a young aircooled owner. The reason that is so important is because you hardly ever see any aircooled owners under the age of 30, if not 40 years of age. The price of aircooled Porsches have skyrocketed over the last 6 years and it has priced out many young entrants into the marketplace.
So to see a young man with not only an aircooled 911 but one that is well modified and well driven. In the first 90 mins, Quan and I talk about his journey as an enthusiast. How he acquired it, the tragic story that happened the day he got it and how he overcame it. It was a long journey but definitely has made him much more wiser.
In the second half of the podcast, we talk more about life journeys and get a little more personal in conversation. I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode and hope that you get inspired yourself to follow your dreams and dream cars. The path is long and difficult but one that you will appreciate once you get to the end of the rainbow.

Big Mike has been an instrument of the JDM scene for close to two decades. Big Mike is known for building well recognized Hondas in the SEMA scene and have been judging car shows throughout the nation for a few years. In his journeys, he started to become a bit disheartened by the negative energy that exists in the automotive culture. So instead of just crying about it, he took the initiative to do something about it.
Enter The Think Bigger Project, which is a brand that started around his ability to make shifts to the mental state of the next generation. Big Mike talks very passionately about the control social media has gotten in our world and how we need to break free from the shackles. Who is controlling us today?
So much conversation in one sitting. This one goes over 3 hours but we cover a lot of topics. Where does this with you?
Thanks for listening!
Will Wattanawongkiri is a well known race car driver in the California region and has done well in his racing career. He is still a very active racer and recently has become a tuning shop for automotive suspension along with race prep. Today we sit down with Will and Colin (manager of the shop) to talk about Will's beginnings to where he is looking to take his passion on the technical side of things. Suspension tuning is an extensive topic so we will do a follow up that focuses more on the technical side of things but for now, a bit of background on the man himself.
Thanks for listening!
In this day and age, the "insta" culture has bled into the fabric of our society and almost has become the norm. To find a 20 year old with the experience and patience of someone in their 30s is a pretty rare thing. Darrien, being in his mid 20's has so much insight about the world and the world that surrounds his life on the daily. We talk about his career during the Covid19 pandemic and how he has been more busier than he has ever been, his career struggles and wins along with social media and combating mental health.
We know that almost all great things take time and overnight successes usually aren't overnight. Darrien also talks about his time in high school and how he spent most of his time alone and being a late bloomer. Always humbled and thankful for his circumstance, Darrien is definitely one to keep your eye on.
I wish you all the success Darrien. Kisses lol.

Had an amazing time conversating with Joey Lee from Stickydiljoe aka The Chronicles. We talk about his 12-year-old journey into becomes one of the oldest historians of Honda gatherings in the United States, his struggles to get the brand sustainable at the start and where his future lies for all of his endeavors.
Joey has done it all and he has done it all on his own terms. He did it because he didn't have a Plan B, he knew that this was his calling and he pushed even when he had doubts. Determination, discipline and dedication got him to where he is at now. So much to talk about and so excited to see where he takes things in the years to come.
Take a listen at how an old school does it. I hope you enjoy it!
