While the specifics of that declaration is not in this episode, Nick steps through his life and how he got to this point of being that 25 year old that is flown across the country for custom work. Find out why being behind the wheel of 1-2 million dollar dream cars at times is not enough to counter the demons of his personal life. This is Nick's journey, this is Nick's story.

EP273 – They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To
This episode has full video on the YouTube channel @HardParking
Have you done the “Tesla Challenge"? Chances are, “No”. This is a made up challenge of seeing how many traffic lights you can go without seeing a Tesla. How many Tesla’s are on the road in the United States?
A man was arrested for vandalizing as many as 6 Tesla’s causing over $21,000 in damages but was NOT charged by county attorney Mary Moriarty, yet she did charge a 19 year old first-time offender for allegedly keying a co-workers vehicle (non Tesla) upwards of $7,000 in damages.
How disciplined are you on social media when a friend or colleague makes a post you fundamentally disagree with? What is the real deal with the Trump administration threatening to remove Harvard University’s “tax-exempt” status? The All-In Podcast covered this discussion and Jhae plays some of the opinions and responds to them in this episode.
What is the real deal about the popular phrase “They don’t make them like they used to”?
How close are we really to seeing the next generation of the Honda / Acura NSX?

269 - Tesla Under Attack , that is right, the people have waged war on Tesla but is that a smart move? Is it basic protesting or domestic terrorism when people try to set Tesla dealerships and charge stations on fire? The Tesla's camera's are catching unhinged people doing damage and most are arrested days, sometimes hours later. Was it worth it? Is our economy on the brink of failure due to all the tariffs? Would you rather buy a used Honda Civic FL5 Type R or an Acura Integra Type S?
