Sung Kang played Han Lue in five movies of the Fast & Furious franchise. He's also a deep dude with a garage of cool projects, an appreciation for 914s, and an incredible sense of humor. He works on his own project cars, runs a blog called Suns Garage, and just loves to drive. This was an incredible show. sungsgarage.com/

Han had one of the best quotes in Tokyo Drift. Loved his character ever since. "I have money, it's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. One car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of? That's a price I can live with." - Han

Han in the movie: Go 200 mph in an LFA with Gal Gadot on his lap for fun Han in real life: Drives a 100hp Datsun cause "I gotta get home, gotta wife", that's all he needs They need to stop adding explosions to fast and furious movies, all of it was always unrealistic but it's become a joke, that LFA scene however is sort of a bucket list item which inspires peoples ambitions

@@ams914 true, you can only laugh about it because it's ridiculous but they can always go back, they can make something like tokyo drift 2 or just return to their roots. the reason they don't is because they claim the BS movies are more successful than the original ones, it's easy to make these claims because they never actually tried making the movies about cars instead of explosions (again) so you can't tell if the BS is more successful than the car stuff.

@@aftrnoon_ac Yeah I thought so, so they were just joking about the HP, but go and tell someone your car has 200-300 hp today, they won't be impressed even if it's plenty for a lightweight car. Point is he could buy something much faster and base model luxury cars come with more HP than that nowadays. Obv. the power/weight ratio is more important than HP but Idk how many are aware of that. The datsun is about fun and handling, not speed.

Han's quote from Tokyo Drift is one of the more important in my life. Sure its cliche, but somehow it made an impact on me and will stay with me til I die. 'Life's simple. You make choices and you don't look back.' Not to mention it follows another great quote by him that someone else commented.

13:20 this story reminds me of a car story my dad told me about. My parents had a mustang2 as a extra car. It was an old car that they wanted to get rid of but didn't really have the time to deal with it. They parked the in front of their house for the winter in Chicago before a major snow storm (kept the new car in the garage). The day after the storm there was a giant snow pile in front of the house and assumed the car was under the snow. no worries, they never drove it anyway. Snow melts, no car. check the mailbox and inside was a ticket and info for where the car was towed. In the paper work was a date for when the car would be crushed, set for a few days prior.

My buddy had a '91 Tercel and that thing was unstoppable. He bought it with 90k miles and put another 200k miles on it. All he ever had to do to it was change the oil and it was so light he only replaced the brakes once while he owned it. It probably would have done 500k miles easily, if not more, if it didn't start to rust out.
