Thank you for the support and helping me climb over the 50k subscriber mark! Huge thanks to my Patreon Supporters and to Garage 42 for taking care of my E39 M5

You get to drive sick cars for a living now, not sitting at a desk. That's already a win.

Good luck bro ! Theres nothing better in this life than living off the things that make you happy. Trust me , you made the rite choice

One of the first comments I've written. This episode semeed so genuine and I'm very excited to see where this channel goes in the future! Congrats on 50k man!

👏👏👏

Honestly, the luckiest people on the planet are those who love their Jobs and look forward to going to work every morning everyday.

This is easily a multiple hundred thousand subscriber KZfaq channel. It just needs a little time to get there. Keep it up!

Hey man, I felt the need to tell you this: I found your channel a loooong time ago, high as hell with my buddy at the time, hypothesizing if there's anyone out there named Tedward. You are that man. But God damn I didn't expect you to align your channel with my interests, too.

Its great that you're able to tease me with the car, and keep me with the intuitive and personal commentary. Love the videos man and keep up the grind!

I’m a first year mechanical engineering uni student lol

Can’t wait for Cars 7 to come out!!

Congrats! I've seen this channel grow so quickly. Thats my goal too. To full time film videos and create content.

Congrats Tedward on 50k! I'm excited for the future of the channel. Keep up the weird car POVs

As much as I like your usual car content, I actually really like these videos as well. I find it really interesting to hear your story and how you feel about leaving a “good” job and it’s security for something that actually makes you happy. Also I really like the format you do as well. No face camera or crazy reactions for the viewers. Just a POV of driving a cool car while you talk about it and also life. It almost feels like going for a ride with a friend

This channel really deserves to have a millions subs. It has the quality of a million sub channel all by one guy who has honest, respectful and good enjoyable content.

100% with you on the "Project Management" title. What a soul-sucking occupation.

I can't wait to see where this Chanel goes im glad i foind you in my recomended

Junior EE & CE in University, I work for a fortune 500 as an EE, operate a managed IT business on the side, I've felt like I have it made at my work, but I really appreciate this video, great food for thought. Love your vids! Thanks! Chase

Hey man great video. I can tell you have the A1 mindset. Fellow East coast mechE Porsche lover and owner. Just finished my masters in MechE. Did a couple startups in my early 20’s. Kick ass dude, you’ve got the POV nailed and good conversation. Excited to see more of your videos. Really wishing you all the best.

Your story is so interesting to listen to! I actually am doing the same thing as I recently graduated with a film degree in a time when the industry isn’t full of jobs. It’s fun to build your own brand!

This was an honest, heart felt, self reflective introspection of one's goals, dreams, and hurdles. I could really relate to this. Thank you and best of luck on the next 50K.

You definitely drive your own cars harder, nice to see these kind of vids once and awhile. Congratulations on 50k.

Love watching you whip around on roads i grew up driving

Great channel man, and a refreshing take on an automotive approach. Love the simple, genuine, conversational style. Keep it up. You will make it work!

honestly this interior is that perfect i stared at it for 11min straight

I think a life of doing something you love and the feeling of happiness and fulfillment of that is more important than living a life of focusing on getting the biggest paycheck.

Love seeing friends do what they love to. Especially when it's such a risk as KZfaq and content creating. You are providing a value to others with these reviews and having them appear in the most random places proves that! Keep it going!

I know nothing and have little interest in cars, but I love your confidence, enthusiasm, video style and just your overall joy at what you do, it’s wonderful and for that.... I have now subscribed.

Man this spoke to me on a deep level. I'm a student at ASU and in my management class we're working on a project where we interview managers about motivation. Across all the interviews I've conducted the common theme is finding a sense of purpose. Many are significantly happier doing something that fulfills them and pays less vs something that pays much more but left them feeling empty. As someone who wants to have time freedom and loves cars, this video was exciting but also realistic. I've watched a few of your videos today and enjoyed them all. You've earned a new subscriber my friend.

I fully understood your position. I was also a mechanical engineer, designing stuffs for a Japanese motorcycle company. Even R&D job that seems to be fun and creative, it was actually not. Left all that and making small bicycles for my own as I exactly want to is much more joy and pride and peaceful. Making less money doesn't mean less happy if you have no debt and not chasing the crowd.

You seem like a legit car guy and that makes all the difference. You can’t fake the enthusiasm that comes through as you drive. Keep it up!

I really appreciate you making a video like this.. As a guy that also quit his job 7 months ago to pursue my passion(game dev) that is dealing with the ups and downs of it, while being happier than ever, you really made my day. Push on sir!

I live on WPI's campus lol (I live with my girlfriend who's a Community Director. I work full time in Marketing & web design) I'm always hearing from her about the pains of mechanical engineers. I'm so glad you're doing your life the way YOU want

i would have done the same if only i had a job

1:49 the noise of that starter, the engine shaking the car a little at the first revv and then the door clanking shut with a mechanical noise just took me back over 15 years to when my uncle took me on a ride in his convertible of that era. A 911 is just so much more than its classic skin.

I made the exact same move couple of months ago. Left the dead end job to pursue happiness. The best way to describe it is you basically start over again, like from the bottom. You make less money, but you have more time. I also had to move back in with my parents, also just breaking even every other month and also working my butt of trying to get my company off the ground. In addition to the new challenges, my project car broke down BIG TIME - I basically need a new engine as the damages sustained would cost more to fix than a low mileage import motor. But it's like you said, if you don't find any pride in what you do life becomes dull. I have no idea how this will work out for me, but seeing someone else do it is inspiring.

I just graduated from a mechanical engineering program. Luckily after spending every summer doing classes ahead of time, I graduated right before the pandemic hit and I’m still a teenager. I see myself taking the same path as you Ted, I don’t want to do CAD work for the rest of my life. I love the way you review cars as it differs from other automotive channels. Keep up the good work, great things are coming for ya!!

I love the realism of this guy, wish you the best of luck in your career man!

Congratulations Tedward Glad you and TheTopher got together to make videos.. Love both channels.. Here's to more Success and Longevity!!!!

I saw a few videos of this guy. I really liked the content and i looked at the subs. I felt this guys is underrated. This video shows he's a hustler. So i subscribed. I hope your channel grows and we get to see more unique are rare cars. 😀❤️

Great choice. You are now actually living because you do what makes you happy, not just surviving from one day to the other. Good luck

I love the raw content you put out. You definitely have a place in the successful KZfaq car culture. Hoping to one day be where your at myself...

What a beautiful car! I love your videos, the length is just right and especially the sound quality is nice! Additionally, you´re commenting is interesting, rather then annoying Thumbs up

Your channel drew me because of your personality and your videos give the same feeling as the smoking tire one takes did in their prime. Keep it going!

Lots of people in their 30s moving back home these days. You wont be getting laid anytime soon but it beats being homeless or stuck in a miserable job. At least you have a vision and a goal you're working towards. Good luck man.

I respect your story man. I’m in a similar position (engineer for 2 years) but I’m super into cars and looking to make my passion into a profession and frankly don’t know where to start.

You'll be successful man. You just have to keep being honest with yourself, and ALWAYS be optimistic!

Great vid - truly. Love the honesty too. Having just launched my channel I’m already seeing it’s one hell of a hustle. Amazing to see the people ahead of me who’ve put the work in.

It’s so great watching your channel grow. You are a breath of fresh air amongst the automotive KZfaq culture. I think your genuine nature and views heavily contribute that. Thank you for making videos like these; they are very inspiring! As an engineer looking for a creative outlet, what you have done really speaks to me. Keep up the great work!

You and TheTopher are the best out there. Always informative and fun to watch. The variety of cool/interesting cars is awesome, let alone the great POV footage with pristine sound quality as always.

A friend of mine had one red a few years ago. The body panels metal is of extreme good quality. He walked all over the hood and it got any dent. Very strong construction.

Ty so much for the intro as to your bio and how you have started this channel. That really sets you apart. I wish you success.

Love hearing your side of things and enjoy the driving experience. The video I really felt I could relate to and got me into your videos a few years ago was with the title " if I'm Honest .." ,Keep going man!

So awesome to see your success!

You made the right choice my man. Do what you love and makes you happy, money doesnt bring happiness. And, better yet, if you keep focusing on your videos (which are great btw) one day you'll probaby be back to a comfortable financial level.

All those roads look awesome!

I've just started my youtube channel because I was getting fed up with the 9-5 work life. I want to drive to places, continue taking photos of landscapes and cars, and just be free. I work in the aerospace industry and it's just not for me. I'm hoping to grow my channel and stay consistent to it. Your video is helping me to just keep going on doing what I want to keep doing.

Congratulations, man! You are already a winner! I was just recommended your channel and already love it. Greetings from Brazil!

You’re a super great dude and I hope this channel grows to be massive. You’re living the dream of a lot of us right now and I hope you succeed!

Last year I barely knew your channel and now it's one of my favorites and one that I enjoy and look forward to. I appreciate a lot your positive attitude toward many types of cars, be they tiny or huge, you always see why they're special and that's something I really like.

I have been watching your videos for like a month and i really enjoy your videos I always thought that your channel is really big due to the high quality videos much love brother from syria ❤️

This just makes me appreciate your videos even more and I'm excited for future content. Keep it up!

Looking forward to your future work. I think there’s a bunch of auto enthusiast niches on KZfaq that are just waiting to be filled with thoughtful, well-informed content. People do fail but a lot of people also don’t try to create something that stands apart. Every car guy I know that watches KZfaq is wide open for more great car channels/content, there’s plenty of room for more.

Love your honesty and realness!

I love the way these old Porsches sound!

this is so cool man follow your dreams never give up, you have the personality and drive for this cant wait to see your journey

Good job tedward. I’m very glad the channel is really gaining momentum. I’ve been watching you since you were putting out those road trip videos Keep up the good work!!

Great video! Wishing you nothing but the best man! Keep up the great work 👍

thanks for this channel man. im just now getting my license and watching you drive comfortably gives me a lot of confidence. love the cars too obviously :)

Congrats on your new endeavor. I was just recently thinking about how KZfaq reviewer’s like you, and the Topher, are able to do this full-time. And what a blast it would be to be doing something you love doing like this. Interesting discussion about your work experiences. Thanks.

Love your videos! Just keep it up and surely you´ll be fine and driving great cars forever!

Good luck buddy. Love your videos, and yes, the 3.2 is one of my favourites cars. Miss mine sometimes.

Hey man, you're gonna be fine. Keep doing what you're doing. This is probably my favorite channel now because of your enthusiasm and genuine personality. (It's also fun to watch since you're local) Anyway, I respect the hell out of your decision because I don't know if I could ever do it myself

loved this video, i think ur extremely passionate and talented at what you do and i respect you 100% for pursuing what YOU wanted in life

I genuinely want things to work out for you my man. I'm in the same boat, almost identical situations, and believe me this has crossed my mind before. Never quit brother

I'm studying Mechanical engineering too! Love from Barcelona, Spain ;)

Congrats! Excited to see this channel grow!

Been watching you for a while now. I like that you're articulate and concise, I feel that I'm able to really grasp the driving experience by watching your vids. I have faith that your channel will take off if you continue to put in the time and effort that you have been. Maybe collabing with more large car youtubers would help you gain some subscribers and exposure as well. We're with you on this journey!

I like all of the content you've posted so far and I hope you go far, keep it up.

I've been around since this channel was pretty small, so glad to see it grow. It feels so organic compared to other things I've seen on youtube. Also insane to see that from when this video was released, you already have almost 5k more subs!

I can hear it in your voice - your career change was a good one. Congrats on 50k and here's hoping there are thousands more waiting to discover your channel!

love tedward pumping out new videos. Fastest video i've clicked on.

Great channel! Keep giving it your best! Big up!

I wish you nothing but success for this channel. I found it about a week ago and your videos are really unique and interesting.

I can’t wait to see where your channel goes bro!🤘💪

Super genuine, and I love the “Respect the drive” quote. Dropped a sub, and I hope you keep doing what you do. 👍

awesome vids one of my new fav car chennels

I understand everything, I just respect the work you do for this channel. Good luck with everything and be careful! :3

Just earned another subscriber :) that's the right way! Chasing our dreams :) and finally to get to do just what we want :) Keep it up!

you’re definitely my favorite pov channel, keep up the good work👌🏽

Keep it up bro, just started watching your vids but the quality is A1

I just realized how local you are to me. I'm from merrimac massachusetts. It's nice to see some local youtubers around me since there aren't a lot in mass. I also just found your channel and really like this kind of stuff. Now I'm starting to binge your videos ha ha.

I really hope the best for you man and that you can drive many other cars because I love your vids man

big congrats on 50K! loving the recent content, 100K soon!

Wow, I never really thought to check your subs. The quality of your 'show', I just assumed that you had a lot more. Keep it going. You make great content. Congrats on 50K!

Really digging the channel, best wishes dude

This is gonna grow, no doubt. Your idea is perfect, the execution is great, the cars are amazing(the lancer evo 1 was amazing to see). I was also currently in a situation where I had to decide whether to pursue what I love doing or a secure job and life, so I definitely understand the fear about it and the dedication required to follow through. This was really inspiring, keep it up man, I'm subscribing after 3 videos and I'm here for the ride.

Props to you for taking this leap of faith. Recently gave up medical school to follow my genuine dreams. Time is such a valuable asset in life and if you’re not happy doing the work you’re doing, what’s the point? Do what makes you happy and you won’t regret it one bit. Nothing worth having comes easy.

Thanks for this. I needed it.

Dude, im happy for you, you get to do something I hope one day I can, I love cars any and all and I love driving, im actually getting ready to do my drive test here soon and once I get that ima be on the road as much as possible. Drive till you can't then drive another 5 miles.
