i bought a mclaren 720s at 20 years old...

Jesus Gabriel Mendez, 20, picks up a McLaren 720S he bought through entrepreneurship. He credits the car to leaving behind laziness and drinking for discipline, goal-setting, and building wholesale and e-commerce businesses. His 13-year-old brother Matt comes along for the drive.

Shit, open the gate.
Bro, this is comfort zone. Imagine when I'm in fucking sporty duds with—
supercar at 20 years old.
This is a fucking surreal moment that, you know, you only get to experience a couple times in life, and I'm experiencing it. What's up, boys and girls? It's January 3rd, 4:13 in the morning, and we're gonna head to the Atlanta airport. Well, no, we're gonna head to DFW, and then we're gonna be en route to Atlanta airport. We're gonna go check out this car that I purchased around a month back. It's my first car in this caliber. It is my dream car that I've had for a couple years. I wouldn't really consider myself a car guy since I don't really obsess over cars that I don't currently have or that I can't afford at the time. But a test drive of this one, I decided, hey, this is the one. And a couple months later, we made it happen. It's kind of crazy at 20 years old what's possible. And that's mainly what this video is for, for to— not only to document my journey of, you know, going up the ladder, but also to show you guys that, hey, this shit's possible. There's nothing special about me. I just work hard and stay consistent. But yeah, it is pretty early in the morning. I'll see you boys at the airport and let's see where this goes. It's been a crazy story about this car and I'll let you guys know about it throughout the video. So we're here. We made it through the flight. It was pretty good. First class, they only give us fucking chips, which is crazy for that much that you're paying for a ticket. But we're here in Atlanta. I might just start a clothing brand while I'm out here. Go say hi to Quan. But we're here. Let's look at the fucking car, bro. It's low-key feeling like fake almost. Like, it was cool on the way here. Buying the car was cool. Everything done online. But like, being here in person, seeing these cars, it's like, okay, like, this shit's real. All right, let's go inside.
Damn, this shit looks amazing.
I wanted a similar car, like a Sierra Silverado. Who are you, Luke, or what kind of jet is that?
Jet?
It's a Gray 720. My first time seeing that.
570? No, 720. 720. Oh, okay, cool.
How you doing? Good, man. Really nice to meet you. No, Chandler's out sick. Chandler's out sick?
Okay, cool. Can I— you're Jay?
Yeah, I'm Jay. Oh, nice to meet you, man. Rocho, right?
Yeah.
How are you, man? I'm good. Yeah, you too.
You ready to go see this thing?
Let's go see this thing. I'm excited.
You got your photographer with you?
My little brother, man.
How old are you?
13.
Y'all have a good trip from Texas?
Yeah, we did.
Nice. Is this one Yeah, what you think?
Congratulations, man.
Appreciate it, man.
Design. Yeah, long time coming. Yeah, you got the key? Oh, here we go. There you go. Thanks, man. All right, don't take it out.
It's crazy. Damn, there you go.
You having an emotional moment at the time? You fired up? Let's hear it, let's see what you got. Shit, take it for a spin. You got the tag on it, y'all can blow out of here. That's crazy.
All right, let's look at it from the outside.
Oh, that's going to be tough. Good, bro.
You hear those paddles? It's like Sounds nothing like that, but you good. Yeah, I hear that. This car is fast, bro. I'm not even pushing it. Like, I'm going like 5% of the throttle.
Shit.
Oh shit, bro, this is comfort mode.
Comfort mode.
This is comfort mode and I'm not even going 5% of the throttle. Imagine when I'm in fucking Sport mode. Damn, this is a fucking surreal moment that, you know, you only get to experience a couple times in life. And I'm experiencing it. I got my little brother with me. This shit's fucking crazy, bro. Supercar at 20 years old. That's me. That's who I am. Look at the fucking interior. Look at the fucking interior on that shit. McLaren 720S. That shit's fucking insane, bro. I love the fucking car. It was everything that I expected. It is everything that I expect, you know, and it doesn't feel anything special, if I'm being honest. I wouldn't want to sit here and just lie to you guys and say, oh my God, this is a crazy moment I never thought would happen. No, that's bullshit. I knew this was going to happen. Every single inch of my body, I knew this was going to happen. I knew I was going to have a supercar before I'm 21, the same way that I knew I was going to close a wholesale deal, the same way that I knew I was going to make $100,000 in a month. These are goals that I set out for myself, and I backtrack them to understand what it needs to take place, what needs to take place for me to get there.
Right?
And I just simply did the work, you know. There's nothing special about me. Obviously, I'm, you know, I'm handsome, 6'2", I speak amazing, I'm great, but I'm nothing special, you know. All the great attributes that I think I have that I've built over time, you know, because this, this was definitely— I wasn't born like this, you know. I used to be lazy as fuck, smoke weed all the time, I used to drink all the time, I used to bullshit all the time. Spend my time all on social media, just wasting time. And it came to a moment where I started having this urgency of like, what the fuck am I doing? I need to make a fucking change. Otherwise I'm going to keep living the same year, you know? And these past 3, 4 years have been fucking amazing because I've just had that goal in mind. Do not have the same year, you know? Multiply your efforts and do it the smart way. Don't just work blindly. Thinking you're going to get to your goal. Be smart about it. Build a team, right? Find different strategies. Find different ways to do what you're doing right now for you to make more money. You know, it is a dream come true, but it's at the same time, it's— I worked for this shit, you know? I 100% deserve this. I more than deserve this. You know, this is expected of me. This is what I expect of myself. And this is what I tell you guys about habits. Is if you have consistent habits, you have consistent wins, you have great days, you have great weeks, you have great months, you have great years. Shit like this is natural. Shit like this is normal, you know? What do you think? It's my boy Matt, my little brother. What do you think about the car? What do you think about me getting the car?
It's crazy.
Talk to the camera, bro. Don't talk to me.
Happened in 6 months. This guy worked worked for 6 months and got this car.
Yep.
Surreal, bro. For me, I've never seen this type of car before. This guy, he worked for this shit. This is surreal, bro. I'm proud of him. I look up to this guy.
When do you think you'll get a McLaren? What age?
18.
18? I believe that. I believe that. Remember I told you about the McLaren 6 months go. And then I was like, fuck, bro, they didn't approve me. They want more money down than I wanted to put down. And then it was like, bro, everybody was— everything just not necessarily went wrong, but it was like it just wasn't the right time. And I kept working, I kept working, and I made it fucking happen. And I'm not necessarily a car guy. Like, I don't— I don't— I love cars. I'll tell you this, I love cars that I can afford and like that I can— that I have. That's one thing. Like the M5, I've I fell in love with that car since the moment I laid my eyes on it. I bought it, I fell in love with it even more, right? I did all the work to it, I got another one, right? But I'm not sitting here just glazing over cars, going to car dealerships and just looking at, oh my God, look at it, look at the new M8. I'm not doing that because I see that as a waste of time, you know? There's a difference between manifestation and just being a bullshitter, right? Just plain being a person that's just dreaming, you know? Manifestation is just understanding your goal, understanding that it's possible, right? With this car, I test drove it multiple times and it wasn't this specific one. It was one in Dallas and I test drove it. I listened to my music in it. I daydreamed about it in the car. I drove it. I saw people's reactions. I stepped foot out of it. You know, I did everything with the car for me to understand, hey, this is fucking possible. I touched it. You know, if you can touch it, you can make it a reality versus me just going to a McLaren dealership and just being like, oh my God. Look at it. And then just going to car shows. I've gone to one car show and I told myself I'm never going to come back unless I'm coming back in a crazy car. And well, I'm gonna start going to car shows because now I have the crazy car, you know. Now I'm going there, I'm building relationships, people, you know, I'm getting known locally now and stuff like that. It's gonna be definitely a stepping stone. This car is gonna, gonna make life a little bit happier, a little bit more joyful, because, you know, you work so hard, you have to treat yourself at some point, right? A lot of people overwork themselves. A lot of people believe that they don't deserve something even though they work for it, even though they get great financial results. They just have this limiting belief in their mind that they don't deserve a car like this, or they don't deserve a watch, or they don't deserve the clothes. In my opinion, right, me personally, I deserve the whole fucking world just because of my beliefs, just because of my work ethic, just because of the type of person I am. I'm a very positive person. I give a lot, you know, not only financially but also with my time. You know, time is very valuable, and I'm not opposed to giving my time to somebody that I know they see it as worth it. You know, for everybody that's in my group, it's like, I love having those one-on-one calls because it shows me, hey, this person is willing to listen to my advice, take it, and get results, and willing to change their life. Because it's, it's not easy going from You know, your parents have worked 9-to-5s their whole life. Your brothers and sisters, they have regular jobs and they're okay with being mediocre. And, you know, that's not to shit on them. That's— that's 99% of people live that way. And you can live a very comfortable lifestyle, very happy lifestyle. Happiness doesn't come from money. That's another thing. Happiness won't come from the McLaren. Happiness comes from the inside of you being fulfilled and specifically as a man and being capable, being capable and providing, you know, being there for my little brother, showing him that this shit is fucking possible. You know, our dad works very, very fucking hard. You know, he's in a position these days where he doesn't have to work as much, you know. But one thing is, you know, coming to this country without limited opportunities and making it fucking work. And one thing is being born here, having all the opportunities of going to college, getting a regular job, and, you know, being successful that way. And just taking that fucking risk and making yourself the person you need to become to be successful, to be a successful entrepreneur. And now he knows that it's fucking possible, you know. We're still trying to figure out if he wants to do wholesale or not. He's looking into e-com. I want him to do wholesale, but it's whatever he wants to do. But I know he'll be fucking successful at it just because he knows. I know he'll be successful because I'm gonna fucking make him successful. He has no option. But the thing is that if he wants to make it happen, he will., you know, without me or with me. Because at the end of the day, nobody's going to do the work for him, and nobody's going to do the work for you, right? Nobody did the work for me. Nobody came to fucking save me. It came that moment where it clicked, and I said, fuck this. I don't want to live this life anymore. I don't want to drive a Honda Civic anymore. I don't want to be high all the time because my life fucking sucks. I don't want to be drunk all the time because my life fucking— you know, I don't want to be looking over my shoulder because what I'm doing isn't the right thing to do. I don't have to be in jail and call my mom and say, hey, I fucked up, come bail me out, you know, with money that you don't have. I didn't wanna be that person. So I made a fucking change and it didn't feel right. It felt fucking uncomfortable 'cause it was, I had to talk a certain way. I had to put my focus in something that I didn't know at the time if it was gonna work out or not, you know? That's with any business, you know, you will fail and you'll win. And that's just the name of the game. But you have to make that fucking change. You have to be urgent about it. You know, we're in 2025. I decided to take that step very, very young, you know, because I grew up very fast with all my friends that have always been older. I was always in a tougher crowd, you know, and I saw the way they were living life and saw the way they were heading. I said, I don't want to live that life. So I made the fucking change. I made the sacrifice. I wasn't cool for those first couple of years. I'll tell you what, I wasn't cool. But now I'd say I'm pretty fucking cool, man. I tell you what. Am I cool? Pretty cool, right? Pretty cool, pretty cool. Let's go for a fucking drive. This is so fucking cheap, bro.
