Give Rob some support

Maybe this has been posted already, but I felt like Rob Dahm deserves some support from us. It really sucks what happened to him, just more problems added on top of his struggle to get the 4 rotor on the road. So everyone please give him some support be it a like or a sub, maybe someone can even sell him a new hood, I'm sure there is someone here with one for sale .

For info refer to

Thanks everyone - Spriggs

Well, I will say this, I've sat there and made a few people upset when I told them the rule for how I determine if someone can drive my FD. In addition to trusting them to be able to drive it safely, I straight up tell them that unless I think they can pay for any repairs on my car (up to rebuilding me another one) without blinking then it is a no go, only rich guys allowed, hahaha. This, for some reason, has genuinely upset some people.

That being said, I have been a fan of Rob's videos for a while (both car vids and business mindset vids) and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Not knowing him at all, the vehicle virgins guy does come off as kind of a douche and pretentious. Glad he called the dude out.

has anyone wondered if maybe the whole thing was a plot by both of them to cause drama and get more views on both chanels?

probably not the case but just a thought, these people make their money off clicks and views, what better way to get more of them?

^^You're new here so you may not realize that Rob is pretty well known around these parts. Not that I know Rob personally, but he really doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Especially given the mass coverage he has had over the 4-rotor.

I"m just wondering why he waited months to bring it up?

All stemming from vehicle virgins talking ****: I would guess that Rob was feeling betrayed so he retaliated.

I enjoyed Jalopnik's "coverage" of this event.

Shitstorm Of Drama Engulfs Two Popular YouTube Channels Over Busted RX-7

As usual, comments are the best part.

The Vehicle Virgins guy is a world class tool. I wanted to slap him just watching the review, hood nonsense aside. He spent the entire video nit picking the car, then repeating himself 4 more times on every little bitch he had about it. Then after Rob tells him about the 4 rotor 4WD, he mocks him for shooting for more HP in another RWD car, dumber than a brick.

Never mind that you are using his car for free to make click bait money, why not be as snot nosed, and belittling as possible to reward him for his trouble, then back out on your agreement to pay for the hood.

Can we all agree that this is the dumbest thing we have ever had to endure?




Seriously, does anyone actually give a ****?
