Just wanted to say hellooooo
I see that rack behind u. Need some Tavarish licks in my life..... love u brother
Hey man you finally got the car we all been waiting for, keep the hard work, the most ambitious project ever!!!
@Tavarish I have a challenge for you. Find a 1977 Ford F-250 custom or a 1996 Ford F-150 inline 6 manual, do a Full Rebuild on either of them. There's my Challenge to you.
Dude… I lost my wife and daughter in 2021 and you kept me going.. we are all here for you no matter what. You find you… We are all here to support you in your time of need…. Just like you were here for us. Love you brother!
sorry for your loss
I feel so much for you bro. I lost my wife and I can't even imagine losing a child dude.
@@crimmer93069 ripped me to shreds. Still haven’t recovered. Thank you! I’m sorry for your loss!
@@nokuuu thank you!
Bro 🙏
Sending you all the love Freddy, it's going to be a great year ahead. You're one of the nicest guys in the world of cars, bright things are on the horizon!
^^^^^^
As you say, Bright things are on the horizon, Bright YELLOW Things !!!! Can't wait to see this !
thanks brother
@@tavarish please don’t leave KZhead
Good shout Tim. He is indeed.
Thank you for helping Mat achieve his dreams, I haven’t seen much of your content but this video has gave me a deep understanding of who you are, along with your wholesomeness in helping Mat. You’ve earned another loyal sub and fan base coming over from Mat without a doubt. ❤
And another one here, I'll be watching all your videos from now on, thank you 😊
Me too ❤
Me too
Same here. Sorry to hear you are struggling dude. ❤️
Same here
Can't believe I missed this when it was posted. As someone who has struggled with depression for a really long time, I'm glad you're following what feels right and meaningful to you, instead of chasing numbers or doing the thing you feel like you "have" to do for financial reasons. I'm glad you reached out and were able to find support. Wishing the best for you.
First KZhead video I watched in 2023 and it was amazing! You’re incredible dude and you got this. Everyone thinks this KZhead thing is cake but it’s far from that! Can’t wait to see what’s in store because I know it’s gonna be amazing!
Why did I read your comment in your video voice 💀
Completely agree. Many times viewers can't see what happens behind the scenes of what happens in the life of a youtuber. We only see people living the life that most of us only could only dream of. We never get to see the pain, the work, the hours, etc that goes into creating that life. Most of us have day-jobs. Most of us won't be brave enough to take the plunge into such a life. @Tavarish hang in there. You got this. It can only get better. You know your true friends when you see the ones who stand by you through the bad as well as the good.
😂😂he is is clown. And a fraud.
Says a guy who got big 7 years ago and is uploading just enough to keep the channel alive. Such a hard living
@@blazbohinc4964 not necessary there. Guy is trying to be supportive.
I'm a middle age woman who drives an econobox but I got drawn into your channel for your enthusiasm. You gave me encouragement to try to fix some stuff on my own car. I hope you find your drive again - from whatever it may be. Big life changes and losses are so hard. Good luck with everything!
Same!
Same! Take care of yourself Freddie! Be well. We will be waiting.
Just found out your channel because of Mat. Gotta say congratulations for what you have done for this channel, your audience and this particular video of opening up. Life has its ups and downs and you took a down like a champ. It is indeed in our lowest point where we truly find ourselves and you should be grateful for it. Which it looks like you are not only grateful but humble, caring and a respectful guy. I wish you all the best for your new adventures and cannot wait to see what you have for this year!
so proud of you. instead of losing it all, you're turning this around and will focus on yourself and be a better person, learn, improve and be the best of the best. focusing on yourself is super important and you taking this direct approach is so respectable. I look up to that. thank you and I wish you nothing but the best! be positive as you are.
Seeing a world famous you tuber, car builder etc open up, share his fears and failings, and show that he is just as human as the rest of us is an incredibly brave thing to do. Thank you for that Freddy. One day at a time dude. It’s all you’re given. Slow and steady and the rest will come. Thank you
The world ist bigger that 2m subscribers xD. I see this my first time.
@@clausbacher World famous means you are known in many countries, it doesn't mean 100% of people in the world know who you are 😂. If that was the case no one would be world famous, and that's clearly not the case as the phrase exists. There are people who have never heard of some of the most famous people in exsistance, this doesn't mean they aren't still known across the globe by many others and aren't world famous.
Tavarish has been a inspiration since I was a kid, I'm now 16 with a 91 rx7 because he inspired me to jump in and fix them. Wouldn't be the man or car guy without him. Prayers for you always, always supporting you!
But you are still a kid xdd
@@user-ni7gk5tg5jhat was the lamest troll I have ever seen on the Internet

Those rx7s are fun, just be careful
@@joshrepik rx7s lame
Freddy, thank you for being so open and sharing your story. You have no idea how your video resonates with me. Love your work, love your channel! I am so glad you have hosted Mat in your garage too. I think you have a new legion of Mat fans watching you now. Keep your chin up and go do it! You're a legend!
A massive thanks for helping Mat out, you’re an awesome guy and jumping a GT3 on casters, mad but absolutely epic! I will be watching you’re videos now so keep em coming! 😊
Best of luck on everything in 2023! I love watching your videos, no worries posting consistently - next time you're in Vegas, please reach out!
Would you ever invite a fellow subscriber?
Graham when will you take responsibility for what you've done? You just hoard cash and never donate to the community. Weird. Do something positive. That FTX news put a bad taste in my mouth and you still haven't admitted that you are in the wrong. You made 100's of thousands from them and can't seem to make it better. HMMMM
@@OnlyTheFinest125 he would, just not you.🤣
thanks dude
Graham is a hell of a dude. Glad to see you here sir
As someone that's gone through a rollercoaster of hitting my rock bottom, to landing my dream job in less than 4 years, support systems are literal lifesavers. Your videos got me through a tough time in my life, take all the time you need. Watching you try to wire a lambo while I was hospitalized made my days better. Cannot wait for your next project, it's gonna be insane!
Such a heartfelt video, there are lots of people like you suffering. Your content makes a difference to people so never think you aren't making a difference even if you're not happy with the content you have produced. I've loved it all. Looking forward to 2023 ❤
Saw this after watching the P1 video, before I was thinking that might be too difficult a job to fully complete in the proper way, but after this, I hope you take more steps outside your comfort zone and we know you'll do it better than what people expect! Because you have proven so in the past and if anyone can do it, there is no better candidate than you Freddie! Looking forward to you smashing all the projects out the whole park 🙌
Coming from a guy who has been at that bottom point twice, I can understand the emotions. Picking yourself back up from there is the hardest thing you will ever do. I’m glad you have a good support system, even if the close ones are small in number. Please know you are never alone and we as a community are with you. Much love Freddy.
We are here for you Tavarish. The strength you’ve shown in sharing your struggles is incredible. Thank you
Tavarish, I’m new to the channel but I love your content and completely understand your feelings, you nailed it on the head about the guilt from feeling purposeless, aimless, and from going through the motions. I’ve been battling this myself. I wish you the best man and hope you continue to improve!! Godspeed!
Im just a small body shop owner in Texas, and it warms my heart to hear a guy on your level say things like you have said here! i stumbled on your channel a few years ago and have been with you since! You dont have to work on the most expensive cars on the planet for us to want to watch you. Look at Vice Grip Garage!! Look at Roadkill and all the others.. We watch You, we dont watch the cars. We watch to see how someone else works and how much pride they are willing to put into something they love doing. Seeing how you are with what you do, i can say that i would kill to work along side you on some, if not all of the cars you work on brother!! Work on yourself first and get yourself back to where you want to be! We will always be here to watch as you progress in this life and this wild industry us gear heads love!! I hope for a chance to turn a wrench with ya on a project some day!
I'm not going to lie, the concept of this video legitimately made me cry. This past 3 years has been such a struggle for so many people and sometimes we forget that even those that we look up to, those that have found success, still struggle the same ways. Tavarish was one of the first Automotive KZhead channels that I found, and it's led me to find the likes of the Car Wizard, Tyler Hoover, Ed Bolian, The Car Ninja, Jared and countless others. My dad's a 40+ year HD Mechanic, so engines, shops and the like have been my life-blood my entire life. Freddy, people like you have made me love the hobby even more, getting deeper into repairs, restoration and rebuilds. Your content has single-handedly been in the forefront of helping me through mental illness, job losses and breakups through this past three years. I love your personality, your attitude and how forthcoming you are to your fans, followers and sponsors. Keep up the good fight wrenching everyday!
Man, as someone who has followed you since back in the ol’ Jalopnik days… and who has also gone through divorce… This is the best content you have ever made. Thank you for the honesty and vulnerability. This is probably incredibly relatable for a lot of people. Keep your head up brother, and THANK YOU. ❤
Truly great words Tavarish, you're an absolute champ. It's never easy to start telling people what you're feeling or going through. I found the more I talked about it, the better and lighter I felt. I'm coming out the other side of the very same thing. Just do you for awhile mate and stay strong.
I just wanted to let you know that I still think you’ve done plenty for the channel. The Car Treks included, posting the content you did while going through something like that shows how much you care about your community and channel. I’m excited for what this year brings, and keep doing what you’re doing!
Never commented on here before, but I wanted to thank you. Thank you for everything you've done. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for being real, no b.s. That's why I watch this channel. I'm not even a "car guy". I can change a tire and switch out wiper blades and that's about it. I fell into your channel after stumbling onto Hoovie's and never regretted it. And moreover my kids, who are also not car geeks btw, absolutely enjoy watching your channel, especially the Car Treks. If I pop a new video of yours on, my ten year old boys immediately yell out, "Tavarish!" And then they settle in to eagerly see what you are up to. So do what you have to do to get in a better healthier headspace. It was brave to make this video. And while you're thanking us, thank you, Freddy. Thank you, sir.
Good luck. You don’t need to do the maddest builds. We’re mostly here to see you and your passion for cars, whether it’s fixing a Miata window switch or rebuilding a Mclaren. It’s about seeing you. Keep it up. You’re not alone you’d be surprised how many of us face similar mental and life challenges on a daily basis.
110% respect to you for making this video. Know that you're also inspiring other people, and other men, to speak up about their own experiences.
Well that was probably one of the most honest heartfelt videos I've ever seen. Dude that was amazing and I have been watching from the beginning and honestly not as much lately because of some of the content. But after that very nice explanation by a wonderful human, I will be back on track with you. Good luck Tavarish. You're awesome.
When you're focused on being a creator, big or small, it can be the loneliest job with the most friends ever. Big respect for you and thank you for updating us all. You're getting through the hard times, and that's the best any of us can do. Can't wait to see what you have in store next!
This expresses my thoughts better than I did! Well put.
@@CarsSimplified Thanks buddy. :)
Sending good vibes your way! Life happens outside of being a creator and making time to cope with situations is difficult on top of the need to be constantly creative and challenge yourself. Looking forward to what’s in store for you in ‘23.
I absolutely love your videos man. Started watching you a couple years ago around cartrek season 6 and you’re honestly one of the main reasons I decided to go into the industry. Thank you for everything you do and I’m so excited for what’s to come
I got to know your videos when you helped Mat, soo much love shared on his builds, nothing was too much. You absolutely deserve your success and you will pull through where you are with help from your amazing friends and colleagues. Time is a healer and you have now moved forward, the way forward with you is so exciting. Hat off to you Tavarish, you deserve everything and more. Keep the amazing content coming. Big man hug 🤗
Don't let anything get you down , I love what you do and you always been my favourite
Raw and honest. We're all human, Tavarish. We appreciate everything you do. I wish you all the happiness possible in 2023 and we are here to watch and enjoy everything you share with us. Thank you for what you do.
The only reason I work on my 2003 M5 is because of you. Your channel led me to LSC and Hoovies. You, Alex, and Tyler give me inspiration in car stuff and every home project I take on. Vamos! Vamos!
Your honesty really touched me. Bless you Freddy. Put everything on the line for your happiness. I saw what you did for Matt. Just awesome, make yourself as happy 😎
I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles and your marriage, Freddy. So many of us are going through similar things, and your transparency here means the world to us. Also, remember that you are never alone. Ever. Cheers to a great 2023, man!
Well said mate.
Who’s sorry? He’s a loser
What happened
We’re all here for you. You inspired me to restore a neglected Saab 9-3 a few years back. Went way out of my comfort zone because of watching you and your crew. The past few years have been tough. I work in an ICU and there were times where it got very dark during those years. It was channels like this and as you mentioned, friends and loved ones who helped get me through it. Still not always happy but I know I have it pretty good and need to remember that. Hang in there….can’t wait for the next chapter.
Thank you for your service Jim. I know it can be tough for all of you in the ER and ICU, but the patients and families of your patients commend you!
All the love Freddy. Damn that made me tear up. Thank you for having the courage to be honest - with us, but most importantly with yourself. That shows your strength. I am sorry you went through everything you went through, but sometimes we have to go through hard times to grow and evolve. I am so excited to see your new stuff, I know anything you do will be worth watching, and I, and I know so many of your other fans are behind you all the way!
hugs out to you mate, i have watched your shows for several years now and your an absolute legend and an inspiration for others, even for myself if it was not for you hoovie and ed (all 3 of you i have watched for many years) i would not have had the confidence to do the work i do to my own cars including full engine replacements, i hope all the best for you and for you tohave a great future going forward
Thank you for this heartfelt video Freddy. It takes a ton of courage to do what you’ve done here. Take care of you and I know you have tons of awesome people in your life, but call me if you ever need someone to talk to.
Thank you so much!
@@tavarish Also want to thank you for this, that must have taken a lot. Also, thanks for your content to date, I personally like the build montages, and I'm looking forward to what's coming. Greetings from a fan from Cape Town.
I was just thinking last night, as I was watching Speed Academy show their lineup for 2023, including some Mitsubishi's, and immediately though of Tom's Turbo Garage. I had this idea of how cool it would be if TTG came back with some sort of legendary Mitsubishi build again. And this is coming from a old gear head that was into Muscle Cars in high school because they were hip, but eventually reclaimed his childhood love of rally cars (thanks Herbie) which in turn, into a person who became a Subaru guy because of Colin McRae, who actually respected and loved the old rivalries with the likes of Tommi Mäkinen and his amazing EVO's. And your channel, years ago, was one of my fav places to find pure Mitsubishi goodness, and also back when I discovered Tavarish's channel because of that old 3000GT. In fact, a 3000GT would be a perfect "Tom's Turbo Garage" resto/mod project car!!! 😱 Regardless, good to see you around Tom, and goodluck with your prospects this year, Tavarish. ☺
This really hit home. I think at the end of the day, everyone here wants to see you genuinely happy and loving what you're doing, even if its house repair or music. Whatever you got planned, we'll be there. Thank you for being genuine and I'm speaking on behalf of everyone, hopefully we can all get to meet you at some point. I think for a lot of your subscribers, you're what got us into builds and cars in general
heres the video summed up... wealthy kid, making millions of dollars, while having several million followers, in his newly bought mansio, whines about ''working'' too much, while he travels the world, buying handfuls of exotic cars, driving them over beautiful states and countrys, to go home to his massive shop where he has hundreds of thousands of dollars of tools and equipment and vehicles, all while living the dream of millions of people around the world........... really though.. and you ' cant do this anymore' .........shit like this is mind blowing. tavarish, you literally do not know just how GREAT you have it.. if you are thinking that you are mentally struggling, fucking look around where you are and be thankful of all the opportunities you have, what you have and done, how many people care for you and love you and give your head a shake.. come on man, im sorry but i cant possibly feel bad for you.. ive struggled a great amount, and then i too had to give my head a shake.. you are literally living an american dream... you have to fuckin sack up and quit being a little bitch boy.. sorry but in this situation, tough love is what you and MILLIONS of other people need.
@@bigdogblast It's not all about money and valuable things. Mental wellbeing, which you seem to not have ever had an issue with, is just as important as physical and monetary wellbeing. I wish you well, that you don't have some challenges in life to deal with, but jeez some things you really need to not write down whether you think they are true or not!
Bro, we love you man. Your Gallardo episodes were awesome and seeing you tear up actually struck legit emotions in me too. You listen to us and we're here for you.
I know I’m 2 weeks late brother but your videos have helped me through rough time over my deployment to Iraq to being able to fix and build my truck. Your videos have more positive impact that you could imagine. Sending prayers your way brother and hoping for a better and more blessed 2023 ❤️
I’m sorry Freddie. I can’t imagine how hard it is, you’re a hero to a lot of people, myself included. Showing people that it’s possible to rebuild a super car, or even just work on your car. I may not being working on an exotic car, but a lot of your videos have inspired me to keep my small project going. I think I can speak for the majority of people here, when I say, your happiness is important. I’ve watched your channel grow, and have loved every minute of it. Thanks man, thanks for what you do.
We appreciate everything you have done for the car community. Thank you for all you have done and I hope to see you doing more incredible stuff in the future
Tavarish, I’ve stayed a fan for a long time because I like the person, yes I love the cars and builds but you’re a great person, we all loved how you were so kind to Matt from the UK on his Porsche and the kindness you’ve show others. Thanks for sharing your hurts in life, we’ve all had our share of heartbreaks and can appreciate what you’ve been going through. Thanks for letting us be a part of your life my friend 👍👍
Brother, as someone who can’t even afford a drivers license. Please do not apologize for the amazing dream job you’re having. We all love to see the projects. I always watch you’re video’s with joy and it gives me so much motivation to push myself harder to get the license. So maybe one day I can own a fraction of what you have. Thank you for opening up so much to us. That speaks with so much volume. 👊🏻
Freddy. Man. This hit deep. I'm so sorry for how things have gone for you. But dude. I'm so damn proud of you. What you do is SO much more than recording and uploading. Your work and dedication is admirable. You're a hell of a guy and I will constantly send positive vibes your way. Keep it going. Keep your head up. I always got your back man. God speed
Freddy's always been pushing the envelope in the automotive content space. Whenever a car looked like it was impossible to give a second chance, Freddy showed us it could always be done. If you can do that Freddy you can make it through the hard times too. You will always be supported by us and we're glad you made it this far. Wrench Everyday 💪🏼
Freddy you were one of the guys I looked up to before starting my channel. Your attention to detail on builds is truly amazing. I cannot wait to see what 2023 brings, no matter what I support you 100% you've definitely gotten me through some tough times much love brother
I am so glad that you are still here. You make such a difference in my life and so many others. These videos make me forget about all the pressure and pain of this world. It is so motivating because of my love for cars and my goals for my life. Stay safe love you man
Freddy, I’m one of your viewers to who you think you don’t do enough for. I hear many of your friend and other youtubers say, “thank you so much for watching”, “thank you for making this possible”. Just don’t ever forget how much you give back to all the people watching your channel, giving them a moment to get out of their lives and come along with you to fix these cars. You help a lot of people through difficult times so what you give back is worth more than any of the cars you have inside your garage. Take care of yourself and whenever you’re in Belgium I’d love to run into you somewhere ;)
Watching your channel gave me the utmost confidence to start wrenching and (little by little) working on my cars. For what it's worth your inspiration to me goes beyond the hood of my cars and carries through multiple facets of my life. Not only was your content so entertaining that it kept me going through some super dark times, but I'm always learning something new here and slowly becoming a better person. I couldn't be anymore thankful, except to band together with all your supporters and keep backing you! I see some guitars in the back so if there's any space for music somewhere down the line I'm totally there! Till then, much love to you and everyone
Excited for what’s to come Freddy! Been watching since before the Gallardo build, in reality - to do what you’ve done, you have such a great work ethic & those early Gallardo/Murcie build videos are great with the detail & explanation. It was a great format. Happy to see you are happy & all the best for ‘23!
Holy shit dude, didn't know it was that rough. You kept a smile on your face and kept making content as much as you could. That takes some real strength. We all appreciate you powering through this. Can't wait to see what's upcoming. And if you get down, just remember that we all have your back.
👏👏👏🙏🙏💪💪
Putting a video like this in the public domain takes guts. Well done in admitting what you've been going through. Hopefully this will help other people realise that it's OK not to be OK. Your content is great, it's fantastic to watch someone who has a passion AND technical ability work on their own cars. The passion in your rebuild videos has been fantastic and is what keeps me coming back to your channel. Keep up the good work Freddie, I can't wait to see what you've got in store. Just remember, it's 100% OK not to be OK. Keep your chin up my friend.
Oh boo hoo poor me my wife left bc I cheated
@@4321watts 😆
Am sending you love for all the smiles I’ve had watching you during good times and tough times. Take the rough with the smooth, this isn’t life or death, your very talented and will always find your way. It’s time to focus on you xxx
Thank you Freddy for you open and heartfelt sharing, I'm sorry to hear things have not felt so great of late. Take the time you need to heal and recover. I love everything you do, you are such a lovely big hearted guy. ❤
I've never commented on one of your videos before but I have to say, dude, that was pretty moving. You are one of my favorite people on YT and I'm so glad you are hopeful and motivated. You're a brilliant mechanic and an amazing entertainer. I wish you the all the luck and I (and a million or 2 more) will be here to cheer you on. Godspeed, my brother. ❤️
It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like this. Ive been watching your channel for a while now and appreciate the way you have done things. I do understand the direction you want to take this and look forward to seeing what you are going to do. No one can ever really know what is going on in someones life especially a content creator. You are human just like everyone else and have issues like everyone else. All everyone sees in the nice cars and the lifestyle and just assume that everything is ok. One of my favorite channels to watch with a good dude behind the camera, keep wrenching everyday my friend!
I love that your a regular car guy like the rest of us. You have been given a gift to touch millions of people's lives and your trying your best to do so. We are all here for you
Hey man. Just seriously know where you've been, personally, and wanted to say thank you for sharing. I'm still working through my issues and the CarTuber gang keeps me lifted, You and Hoovie in particular, so I'm grateful for being able to continue looking forward to that duo! I'm SO GLAD you have those friends in your life, Tavarish(Would that be appropriate use of the term, in context?)! Looking forward to... More and Better Things! Cheers
It’s so refreshing hearing you let this out. Your videos have made a huge impact on so many people. The Gallardo project came to me when I had just moved out of my house and during the divorce these videos as well as automotive KZhead in general helped me get through the days back then. Take whatever time you need to get your head right bro! We are here for you. So excited for this next project!
You are the best. Absolutely inspirational. Your collaboration with Derek from VGG was a perfect match of you both showing how it can be fun. I hope you find the fun again.
You're one of the few channels I still watch as much as possible. There were times when your motivation was down (which is perfectly fine, especially given the circumstances), but your content feels so authentic and enthusiastic. Your passion keeps me going on my projects, and your selflessness gives me hope for the influencer community. From one car guy to the next, you got this! But also make sure to take care of you.
You are a great energy. We need more people like you in this world man. You keep my vibes good. Thanks for all you do. Keep pushing man, life’s full of pain. We understand you
Thank you Freddy for the ramble. I’m coming from Mat’s 911 GT3 rebuild and landed on your channel. I’ve been slowly working my way backwards in time to this video. It’s been awesome watching the sandy P1 build. Sending much love and support. Thank you for doing what you do and taking us along for the ride!
Thank YOU for having the courage to be so vulnerable and sincere, it means more to people than you know! As a car guy who works in mental health, I know first-hand how many people struggle with the very same emotions and challenges and I know how HARD it can be to go through and to talk about it so openly and honestly! Nothing but respect and admiration for you Freddie! Keep the faith, lead with hope, and never forget just how much joy and meaning your videos give to people. And most of all, NEVER forget that YOU MATTER GREATLY as a person, whether you take KZhead by storm or never do another video. Much respect my friend, you are an awesome person!!!!
You, Tyler, and Derek are the most enjoyable car guys to watch. Be strong and do what you love.
Edd now feels left out!
Yep, props to Edd China too ;)
just gained a new UK sub direct from the Mat Armstrong channel.. Already I massively respect you and feel for the shit that you have clearly gone through. Wishing you the very best for 2023 buddy. Im sure you will make all the positive steps you need in life and I think you will grow from the last years issues. Best of luck :)
Huge props on talking about and taking care of your mental health! Lesson for everyone (not just us car nuts) that happiness in life has to be actively pursued and takes similar problem solving to rebuilding super cars! Thank you for sharing and can't wait to see what you do next and be a part of that journey!
I have been a viewer right since the turbo Lamborghini days, being a mechanic myself you were always something to aspire too, you gave me motivation in times I had none in those dark days you know all to well, this is my virtual arm over the shoulder to tell you thank you for everything, and I so look forward to seeing what the future holds, love from Ireland ☘️
Freddie, big respect for being open and honest. Having stability and good positive friends around you and a good mindset is priceless. I wish you the best of luck for 2023. Can’t wait to see where this journey will go
Freddy, a few years ago, I lost everything and almost myself. What got me going again was finding my sense of humor while enjoying your videos among others. You have purpose and tremendous value. I’m now thriving again partly because of you. Find what makes you happy, take care of yourself, and know we’re here for you. Blessings.
Hey Freddy, I've been watching Mat Armstrong for quite a while now, and with what you did to help him out was awesome. To me, it tells me that you're the kind of guy that most people would love to have in their corner, so I have subscribed, and I'm looking forward to your new start and your uploads. I wish you all the best. 👌
Dude no matter what you feel, you are inspiring. You're such an amazing person too with an energy many others don't have. Your personal life is yours and yours alone but remember that your whole community is here for you too, not just for the cars, but for you as a person. I've been where you are to a point and I promise you it does get easier. We care about you 🥺. Thank you for what you do and remember failure is always part of success
Thanks for sharing this with us. Do what makes you happy and take us along for the ride when you can. We love you bro. Wrench everyday ✊🏾
@Tavarish, I have been watching your channel since you were working on the 3000GT VR4 on your parent's driveway. You have accomplished a tremendous amount since then. You have taught and entertained countless people. You are a great, positive contribution to the world. I know that times can get very tough sometimes but we will be here to support you through the ups and downs. Take your time and make sure to do what makes you happier. I look forward to whatever you bring to the channel. If you are more passionate about it, then we will enjoy it more. Don't worry about trying to predict what folks want to see. You being more excited about whatever you work on will translate to more happy viewers. Most of your repeat viewers are here because of you and not because of Car xyz. I know that I equally enjoy your house and garage videos as your exotic car videos. Honestly, the variety is fantastic. That said, you do whatever you want to do. Your fantastic persona will make it great content. I wish you great success and happiness for 2023 and many more to come. Take care and thank you very much for everything you have done. Cheers...
Really looking forward to this year. You've got no idea how much positive influence you've had on others, myself included. You're one of the people that got me into wrenching and dream big. Keep things going, I'm sure everyone here has loved watching everything you've accomplished over your time here on KZhead!
Opening up about where your head is at is the best thing you can do!! Its a brave move and I really hope it helps you get to a great place. You have worked damned hard for what you have. make sure you enjoy it, you deserve it!!
I feel your pain dude. Be kind to yourself and continue to be you. I love your channel and all your projects. Keep looking forward ❤
Freddie for what it's worth im a trucker your videos gives me a sanity break sometimes the road can be a long and lonely place I love catching up with the car builds. I rebuilt a jetski because of videos just like this. I believe life shuts doors so it can opens new ones. We have grown to love you and we are all here to help you through this hard times.
Stray strong! Even in the toughest times, you will be able to get through it. Look at yourself, how far you have come, you still have so much to offer. You have been an inspirational to so many, thank you for all you do. I am very exited to see what you have next for us Товарищ!
i’ve been following your channel ever since like 2016-17. you are an inspiration for me bro, loving this P1 content!! rooting for you man 🫡🫡
Hang in there brother. It’s tough I know from experience. I love you and your channel. Watching you encourages me to try and wrench everyday. Hang tough do what you need to do for yourself. I’ll keep you in my prayers. The world needs more beautiful souls like you in this world.
Freddy, truly one of the most real things I've seen all day. I think it's awesome that you're willing to put yourself out there, and remind viewers that you're human, with real challenges like everybody else. Thank you for putting yourself out there despite it not being easy. Guaranteed this is touching and helping more people than you know.
Freddy, I know you mean more to a lot of people than you think. You produce great content and are as heartfelt as anyone I know. Keep your chin up, what doesn't kill you will always make you stronger. You have a tremendous amount fo support out here. Love ya Brother.
Appreciate the heart felt update. We are all wishing you the best not just in your personal life but in what will make you happy moving forward. Looking forward to the new content.
I came across your Channel, from Mat Armstrong and now watching all of your previous content to catch up. Thank You for sharing this as right now your’s and similar channel’s keeps me going. I’m going through what you experienced right now and have fallen out of love with building and working on cars which is what i have done my entire life. I tried the youtube thing but lets say my mechanical skills don’t cross over to editing talent 🤣🤣. Watching your content really makes me realise I do enjoy these amazing vehicles and gives me a reason to keep trying to achieve what you have. Thank You for opening up as it has really helped me realise that I can achieve something my son can be proud of.
Dude, i can't explain how hard this hits home. It's raw and vulnerable and is incredible. I appreciate you sharing with us and I can't wait to see 2023. Stay strong, you've got millions that stand with you.
👏👏👏💪🙏🙏
I’ve got nothing but respect for you being this upfront with what’s going on with your life. Your Gallardo build is what got me hooked on your channel. I remember anxiously waiting for the next video on what was happening. Specifically when the clutch plates were rusted together. I felt that sense of accomplishment on figuring that out. Here’s to a great new year, nothing but love for you buddy. Loved seeing the Mclaren and Supra the last two years at SEMA and I can’t wait to see what you bring this year buddy! Let’s go my man!
Keep your head up and thanks for the great content! We all struggle at times and its important to reflect and move forward in a positive way. Good luck in 2023!
Lots of respect to you. It’s not easy to talk about these type of things. I’ve been their too. The good news you recognized what you are feeling and doing the necessary changes needed in your life. You are the real deal (authentic) and that’s what separates you from everyone else.
Sorry to hear shits going rough, but we all want to see you happy. Do whatever makes you feel the best and we will be here supporting you. My dad and I never got along very well, but we've bonded over your videos; so even if you feel like they're not impactful or significant enough, they can be life changing for us. Thanks for your years of content, and helping rebuild my relationship with my father.
Oh yeah, his life is so hard. What a loser….. he’s got the easiest life AND HE EVEN PUT AN AD IN THIS SOB STORY. I hope he loses all his subscribers.
You’re one of the most real and down to earth KZheadrs out there, let alone car KZheadrs. Never pretentious and always willing to put in the work. You inspire us all no matter the time schedule of your videos. I know times are hard and the ending of a serious relationship is always difficult, don’t be afraid to reach out to people for help and stay up brother, you’re a legend forever and always.
A very brave and honest video, the more people who talk about these things and the realities of life away from the camera the more we understand that KZhead is just a snapshot into someone’s life. Depression hits everyone and anyone no matter their success. Take care of your MH and well-being first and foremost, you have a loyal fan base, keep doing what you do and hopefully you will fall back in love with why you started the channel in the first place. Wishing you much love and health for the future and looking forward to what 2023 brings you 🇬🇧👍
Im a new Subscriber i came over from mat armstrong channel in England. This is the first video I've seen of yours. Keep your head up, Freddie. A lot of other KZheaders have said you're the nicest bloke they've ever met, so keep doing what you're doing. I'll look forward to seeing what you get up to this year👍🏻
Freddy, it takes guts to be vulnerable and to admit when you are struggling. Thanks dude. All I can say is you have my very best wishes in whatever direction you choose to take with your channel and your life. Do what makes you happy. I'm sure that your natural charisma and the fun you have with cars and other stuff you do on your channel will continue to make it successful, and if people don't like certain aspects of it then so be it. You will never keep everyone happy and nor should you try to, just do what is best for yourself and your mental health and everything else is secondary. You've got this bro!
Freddy, the reason we are all drawn to you and your channel is our mutual love and passion for cars. Whether it’s a random rebuild or it’s cartrek or it’s a collab or whatever other amazing challenge you give yourself, we will be here to support you brotha! You have all of us behind you cheering you on.
