Matt is throwing some shade on the VINwiki warehouse. It's ok. We forgive you!

Matt’s transparency is the reason I watch every minute of his 3 hour videos. I hope we get more from him here!

Matt and I have very different takes on acceptable standards of car cleanliness but I love his stories and I am so glad that he has used this medium to help so many people who think and work the way he does. Thanks for sharing Matt and congratulations on the success of your channel.

I love that he can actually call himself "crazy". I don't scrub the baseboards in my garage, but I can relate to the part about not letting people in. Thanks for sharing, Matt.

To be that obsessed, he is into the right cars. Porsches seem like the best built sports cars today.

I just realized no car channels were included into KZfaq rewind

Wow, this guy has a battle within that he has to fight.... I wish him the best and he keeps making progress he's been making with his OCD. Very interesting video and guy, and I am glad he "made himself" show up to VINWiki!! We all appreciate it.

VinWiki helps me procrastinating

I’ve never related to someone more in my life. The “You don’t know that I know you think I’m dumb” comment resonated. Keep at it, your best practices have made me want to be better at my car keeping practices.

Glad to see Matt on here. Always a pleasure listening to what he has to say. It's almost always story time when he speaks.

Really really interesting video; probably most interesting video on this channel so far. Kudos to VINwiki and Matt for making this. Great job to Matt to making it to self-realization and giving us an interesting look into people with a condition like this. May you're journey to clarity and happiness continue sir!

VINwiki makes we wanna wake up every morning. Thanks again Ed

Love this guy. Genuine. True Enthusiast. Not afraid to be himself and show what's going on in his life. Great example for fellow entrepreneurs even. Can't wait to see the Obsessed Garage Resort when it's done!

Did Matt ever buy a Vantage, take it home, find some imperfections, wrap it plastic, drive it back to Ed, trade it for another Vantage, find out it was exactly as bad as the first one, then get told he was not allowed to by anymore Astons?

Mad props to Matt for opening up. It's hard to be this candid in front of a camera and share your struggles. Continue to have him!

dont let material stuff own you

I wanna go in your garage and turn all the bottles where the labels are not facing out. lol You truly take it to that next level sir, And it shows beautiful garage and Porsche . Great Channel!

Automotive Youtubing increased my OCD

This guy needs the real cure. Hang out with Ed and his dirty cars.

This guy is one hell of an inspiration!!!!!

I love his attitude and honesty and self discovery and self acceptance and his smile wow!

I....wow! That was a lot different than what I was expecting. His OCD is really apparent, practically screaming through the pictures of his garage. That must have been really hard to have let himself allow himself (if that makes any sense) to be open enough to show them.

Actual humility. No fake BS. Willing to admit he is intelligent and knows his stuff... but also his flaws. Respect from a fellow OCD individual.

Wow, blown away by your openness, honesty and humility, despite your obvious high intellect. Despite me not understanding why a machine would not be used for its intended purpose I respect your outlook and your attention to detail. Thank you.

If my garage doesn't smell like gasoline and tears and frustration I freak out

One of the best groups on Facebook is obsessed garage! I joined about 2 years ago and the people there have been great help in the ownership of my toys! Thanks guy's!

OCD, an imperfection which drives you to a perfection breaking point. Tough battle, glad to see he's using it to his advantage. Thanks for sharing your story :)

I didn't know i was obsessed with the overall outcome and process of everything life has to offer until i started watching Matts channel. That's the reason i watch every video he post.

Exactly like my dad. Has a huge tool box like that full of tools that never been used. Truck that’s never been off-roaded. I grew up thinking he cared more about his stuff more than his kids because he spent so much time obsessing over his stuff. Soo this guy doesn’t think it’s a big deal, it’s just the way he is, but his kids will one day.

I can relate to this on so many levels! Back when I was in school for engineering I can remember having the feeling I was better than everyone else. I was the OCD guy that had to have everything perfect, from school projects to keeping the car clean. I bought a brand new WRX when I was 20 years old and went overboard looking after and worrying about the car that it affected the other aspects of my life. From parking in the furthest spot in the parking lot to avoid door dings to then be worried I parked so far in the middle of nowhere that it would be an easy target for vandalism caused me to have anxiety. The only time I could enjoy owning the car was when I was driving it. I made the decision to sell the car for the sole reason that it was consuming me and I bought an older Subaru that was worth 20% of the WRX and already had some miles and use. I am now happier than I ever was. This switch applied to everything in my life and has been a humbling exercise in finding what life really is all about. Material possesions should be a bonus in life, not the priority, and the people, time, and opportunities are the things to really look forward to.

What he is explaining is exactly how I feel, except not having a Porsche or even a decent garage. This channel always gets me. Thank you!

Oh boy, I am an engineer, I struggle letting people in, and the overheating brake illustration just hit home hard.

Glad he snapped in a weird way the self therapy lead to greatness and helping like minded people

Such a genuine dude. Been watching his videos for two years now, he's great.

You should be proud of yourself, that level of self-reflection isn't easy. It's not about where you started, but about how far you've come.

Hands down the best interview with Matt from obsessed garage I have ever watched. Nice to know that someone who had it all found out that you don't have anything without being able to share it with others and allow others to enjoy it with you. At the end of the day its the moments you share that make your life full.

This is by far my favorite VINwiki story thus far. Matt - you've touched many through your courage. Amazing stuff!

I can see Matt walking around the VINwiki facilities going “GOSH DARN IT! What are you guys thinkin’!? Freakin thing sucks!” In a loving way, of course haha.

Big thank you to Matt, Ed and the team at VinWIKI for opening my eyes to a struggle I didnt know existed or even understand. Very eye opening. The fact that this channel is constantly suprising us is fantastic. Greetings and salutation from across the pond in Oz.

Last time I was this early, the 919 was just for track use. Happy Friday everyone.

Well spoken Matt. 32 years old and just starting to realize some of the things you mention in here.

See this is what I can appreciate. Raw honesty and self improvement. Cheers sir.

I LOVE this guys garage... I live with my father who is a horder and will collect everything, and too many of the same thing... I have no where to work on my car, and have to do it outside. For someone that hates to lay on the ground and get dirty... it keeps me from fixing my car that sits out right now with a broken timing belt. His tools are not sorted, just piled into a drawer of box ends, and a drawer of sockets, and a drawer of pliers, and screw drivers. To me that is not organized enough.

This is really a lot of us. This video is trully eye opening. Amazing video fellas, hats off for sharing your story

Great to hear Matt talk about his story. Seen him on Adam LZ's channel and never knew any of this. Great to get an inside peak to his life and see what led him to do the garage stuff. Wish you all the best Matt

Matt has the nicest car wash bay at his house, I didn't even know I needed half the stuff I want until I started watching his channel. He regularly gives a new layer of insight you can't normally find.

It takes a lot to admit you are flawed and to let people into your life like this guy has. God bless. I hope you continue to use your OCD to uplift others.

6:45 - Absolutely - "Be the host for the party you want to go to" has been the hardest lesson I've learned in my 50 years. I know avoidance can be a bitch - thanks so much for coming anyway, Matt. Subscribed. :-) EDIT: 8:24 - You're not wrong.

Thanks for doing something different that we can all learn from Vinwiki and of course huge thank you to Matt. I'm sure this was incredibly difficult but you've given someone like me a different perspective. You seem to live a life that every car guy dreams about so it's hard to imagine that you wouldn't be happy. This is the reason why we should be as kind to each other as possible, especially in this awesome community that unites all kinds of different folks. Never seen your videos Matt, but I'll definitely check out your channel

Loved hearing this story. I find that no matter how different or strange something is most people can understand and accept the TRUTH. Kudos for sharing.

Stories like this and the incredible content you deliver, is why this is the BEST channel on KZfaq. Thank you for sharing!

His reason for him being HIMSELF with a special condition AND to not have a care in the world to impress people or let people tear him down is THEE justified reason why i can relate to all of his lengthy videos. Im not by any means OCD but just having the life to live in ways of being clean and complete, and be at peace with myself is worth it. Thanks VinWiki! #salutefromOhio

"I dont wanna meat another person ... but when I do it - its amazing" Thats me every day trying to figure out how to overcome anxiety...

Matt, thank you so much for sharing! What a powerful message!

First KZfaq video I can relate to as an Automotive Enthusiast. I'm not OCD about the floor and all that other nonsense but OCD about the Mechanical part. Making sure all the pulleys are clean of dust so it doesn't get to the pulley bearings, Alignment perfect, tire PSI even, headlights leveled, ball joints greased, ensuring repairs are done the proper way with OEM parts, radiator is clean and Bug free etc etc etc

Matt, I appreciate what you've done! This video is helping me realize I may need to let more people in much like you. I love your videos and watch them religiously!

Villanova - now a prestigious university lol

Matt’s a good guy, bought a bunch of his micro fiber a few years ago and he shipped it all the way to Hawaii for me. He got me started in detailing for sure

Thanks Matt, I have mild OCD and good to hear a story from someone who really understands that perspective. The "People think I'm stupid, but they don't realize that I know they think I'm stupid" part really hits home. Being very reclusive and also OCD, I feel that in general, people just can't understand the way I see the world.

I know what you are going through. That's amazing that your doing so well. It's extremely brave of you. Thank you for sharing. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable is hard to do.

Thank you for coming out of your comfort zone and opening up about this. I appreciate you letting us into your life and sharing your passion for cars.

Subbing to Matt.. his honesty is unbelievable and I respect it more than I can explain!

dont know about anyone else but i love watching Matts vids, its awesome knowing he channeled his OCD into something so positive!

Nothing but respect for this guy trying to push himself out of his comfort zone. Keep it up!

Of course the engineer with ocd has his soul connected to one of the most wonderfully over engineered brands. Loved this though.

i like this guy's honesty and his efforts towards humbling himself...cool video and cool story...thanks for sharing i appreciate it

I was diagnosed with OCD a few years ago although my OCD has nothing to do with cleaning. I also used to post on forums right after I was diagnosed as a way to cope as well and I just finished my first semester as an engineering student. Glad to see engineers with similar conditions.

Its such a shame that more people have not seen this video, its such a game changer for so many people who have never heard differently from what is in their head, just like Matt said he was the first 34 years of his life. The intro hook to this video is one of the best ones of any vinwiki video, to this day

Vinwiki helps me wake up every day, because of the stories like this. Everything from Ed saying "you need to slog through some crappy jobs just to make it to your dream" job that help me get through my crappy job on burr bench just so they will pay for my schooling to become an engineer, to this guys stories helping me understand how ocd affects different people in different ways and helps me understand my girlfriend's ocd and better help her get through life. I dont know if anyone on the vinwiki team will read this but I just want to say thank you to everybody who is involved in putting these videos out.

Hands down the best one Wiki has done yet. Powerfull!

Nice to see a story about being human. Really struck a chord . Thankyou

Love watching his channel.. Super excited to see him on VINwiki!!

Your garage is SICK!

Love the vid. His honesty & knowing he's deeply flawed as he puts it is great (we're all deeply flawed, but the self realization is what makes life worth living) great vid, awesome guy, tremendous channel.

Hey man great video. Thank you for your honesty and putting yourself out there. This inspires me for my KZfaq videos. Can't wait to see more!!!

I could do with a little of your type of obsession! I love cars too, but am so darn messy! Thanks for opening up, much appreciated.

Dude, that track tape photo at 6:48 just makes me happy..... Matt has to be one of the most relatable people in car youtubers for me. Savagegeese is another one, you guys should get him on the show!

The magic of life is sharing. Thanks for sharing your story mate.

Damn Matt, Stay strong bro! This is one of the most engaging stories on this channel yet. Deep story

Matt and Ed, my two favorite automotive personalities. This might be my favorite VINWiki video yet.

I love this video. We all have things we’re working through. We all want to be our best selves and continually over analyze what’s the best way to do that. There’s always hesitation.

Matt, your videos ARE long but that's ok. You being you should always come first. Well, after taking care of family, and friends. LOL. Don't change. Trolls on KZfaq will tear you up from time to time - they even get to me when the attack my posts like this - but being a troll is not a good thing, so if someone reading this is a troll, just know you're the one with the problem and get help. Ed, thanks for having Matt on. Another great video.

good for you man, and your honesty.

People like him are the ones that inspire me

I've been watching Matts videos for years and this one really hit home, thanks for this.. even tho i dont have any friends, seeing someone else in the same shoes makes me feel somewhat normal again. i'd love to hang out with matt for a day or two. not for youtube publicity obviously but just to hang out with someone that's cut from the same cloth.

Awesome story Matt, I appreciate you sharing! Going to check it out.

I love this guy. I hope he feels better today, than he did yesterday.

Hats off to that guy for just being in a video and getting out of his comfort zone!

Matt's the man! Been watching his videos since he started and never thought at any stage that he had "OCD". Then again, maybe I have it?

Matt Should Be On Here More Often😛

If there weren't guys like you we wouldn't have showroom cars 60 years after first production.

Thank you vinwiki for having Matt and thanks Matt for sharing your story. Always been interested in the way you think when I first saw u on adamLZ channel.

Been watching since somewhere under 20K, but I think this is one of my favorite videos.

Amazing story! I have OCD myself and sometimes it is a blessing that can get you to the places, but sometimes it is a curse that could make simplest things impossible to deal with. Really enjoyed the story and how that man learns the whole new world about himself at his 30+ years. In my case I had to fall at the bottom to realize such things.

Thanks for letting us in!

Impressive level of honesty! Great work Matt!

Wow, Mike, your story resonates with me man. Much respect bro!

I have OCD I’ve accepted it and made it a part of my life. As a side note, this is the garage that I dream of having. God it’s perfect ! Clean and every product and tool has its place. Beautiful garage/ man cave !

I feel the exact same way it's a relief to see someone else like me

Matt just from this clip your work seems outstanding. Applied obsession creates legends.
