Although I don't like the yellow Proto Z, holy crap that's ignorant to take a 1/240 car and bastardize it. Yeah, yeah, I know it's his money, but damn, 1 collectible version immediately ruined.
The question is though…is it his money?
One of very few delivered in the US and just happens to go to a b grade you tuber …more likely someone paid for it for him, to do exactly this…and what’s worse, genuine enthusiasts have no chance

I could understand why most of you wouldn't like him, but gotta hand it to him. He's built a brand and a following. Him getting anything sought after is going to garner envy. I'm interested to see what Dustin Williams will do with his when he gets it. Maybe that'll push him to finish his wife's S30.

the guy does come off as a d-bag. however, in order to get his build ready for SEMA he needs to start asap. sadly this means a Proto Z has to be sacrificed.

iirc he used one of the limited editions for that build
With the J29 LE I think there were like 1,500 units and the only differences were red mirror caps, black wheels and a stupid plaque on the dash

As much as I understand his content is for dopey children who unironically yell "is that a Supra?!" at every coupe they see, I have no issues with him butchering a Proto. We know half of those cars are about to spin into traffic and get totaled exiting the dealership lol, plus they happen to be the only ones available right now and guys gotta do his thing to feed content to his audience.

Kids these days don’t want intellectual material…they want mind numbing ridiculously stupid material …..it dosent bode well for the future
There are five kids in my wife's 5th grade class this year, unable to tie their shoes. Things seem to be getting worse in terms of behavior and abilities. (To be fair, I'm not sure yet if it's due to some demographic changes in the particular school community, or a general larger societal degrading.) But anyway it's concerning.
