Buying a lambo at 18

Okay, so I've been back and forth for the last— oh my gosh, Mackie's terrible— but for the last few weeks for getting a Lambo. I just sent over the invoice. It was supposed to come like next week because the wrap was gonna take a while, but I told them I wanted it faster because my brother's going to camp in a week. I wanted to drive him around. I have a prom tonight, wanted to have the Lambo, would be really cool. I really gotta fix this. I gotta take a shower, I just woke up. We're getting the fucking Lamborghini today. We're in the Uber right now. Do you want to say something to the vlog?

I am just I cannot believe this moment is happening, and I'm so excited to be along for the ride, literally.

All right.

Yeah, it looks like a toy.

It was really cool. Started— whoa!

Careful with the car. Make sure, like, literally the key's never in the car when you leave.

Did y'all boys not get the memo?

Just got on the train. Friend is picking us up from the train station, then we'll go. So still going to be late, but hopefully it's not too bad. It is now Sunday. Went there on Wednesday, had to leave early because the wire didn't hit in time. Did not hit Thursday because it was a holiday. Still did not hit Friday. I actually was stressing out a lot because for a few hours my bank thought it was settled in their bank, but they hadn't received it. So I thought I lost over a quarter million dollars. Apparently I sent it as an ACH, which takes longer. So I got it reversed to me. Should be hitting on Monday. It's all I can think about. I'm watching a video right now. Let's hope we could pick it up tomorrow. All right, it is Monday. You gonna pull it out for me? We are in the car. Wow, it's beautiful.

Look, I just flipped the switch.

Flip, flip.

I don't know nobody else that's doing this. Body start to drop, hey.

Hit the floor.

Now they wanna know me since I hit the top, hey. This a Rollie, not a stopwatch. Don't never stop. This the flow that got the block hot.

Super hot.

Yo, so I've been driving this car around. For a while now, and this thing is just so sick. It's finally hitting me that this is actually my car, just me at the wheel. 18 years old, I'm able to drive a Lamborghini around my hometown before even graduating high school. That is insane. Probably gonna go pick up one of my friends right now, guys. All day with the Lambo, we're super successful. It's a fucking sick car. All my friends got super excited as well, including the one behind the camera, Enon. Hi!

No, I'm good.

It's fine.

Well, this is the first fill-up of the car, and yeah, let's see if I can figure this out. All right, we got the tanker. Yo, should I close the hood, or is it like Can someone just jump in? I guess not. Someone tries to jump in, we'll jump them. The question is, can you pay for gas? The question is, what color is your Bugatti? Okay, we're gonna look at them. How do I open this?

Question.

All right, capitalist gas. That's how they do it. That's how you know it's fancy. Okay, high octane. We only take the nitro. Fuck, I'm a terrible cameraman. Nah, you're good, bro. The first step to anything is to believe in yourself, man. Thanks, Zach. Let's do it, baby.

All right. Oh, maybe, maybe we stop the video.

Maybe we stop.

All right, I don't think I was Either. I don't think so either.

Was there a stop sign there we didn't see? No, I don't think so, cuz I've went this way before. Hello, license, registration, insurance please. Sure. Guys, first stand, we're already pulled over. I'm recording for my safety. It's cuz of the front license. It wasn't on, but I showed him. We have it right here. We're putting it on tomorrow. I'm going to open the seat.

You stole it. Shut up, Zach.

Probably. All right, let's lock in. Mom, first day with the Lambo and I already got a ticket. What are your thoughts? Hi, Porsche. Here in my garage— no, I'm just kidding. It's been a couple of days though. It's been pretty awesome having this, honestly. I had my graduation today. Throw up a clip. Pretty fun time. And I drove it there and it was sick seeing kids from my school, everyone just, you know, look and kind of be wowed by the fact that I came in a fucking Lamborghini, left in a Lamborghini. It was really cool. I mean, parents, adults, kids, parents, kids, everyone was just coming up and congratulating me, saying they really liked it. People I'm not friends with, people that honestly I don't like from my school, and it was just really cool. There's definitely negative and positive attention that comes from it. Definitely makes me feel like James Bond, makes me look cooler, gives me more social status. It's really fun to drive, honestly. It feels like a go-kart on the road. When I'm in it, I honestly feel closer to being on an electric scooter or a bike than a regular car. Just feels so much different on the inside. So that's super interesting. I mean, honestly, it's— it feels so surreal for me to be driving this around my hometown. It's just nothing I would have ever imagined. It feels like a toy. It doesn't— honestly, like, from the outside it looks sick, looks super cool. On the inside, I mean, look at this, it looks sick as well. But it's, it's definitely a lot smaller, I guess, than I would think. Like, from— I think the biggest thing that I enjoy about it isn't actually the inside, because on the inside, yeah, it's fast, it's really fun to drive, that kind of stuff, but definitely not the most convenient car. That's not why we drive it. We drive it to look cool. Driving, and it's, it's been really fun so far. Everyone gives good reactions. My friends love me driving them in it. I spent most of my liquid net worth on this car that I've earned so far, just because we haven't paid ourselves for that long. And do I regret it? Not really. I listed out everything I would want to buy, assuming I had all the money in the world, and there were only 5 things I could actually list, and a car was one of them. And the rest were things that, one, I didn't want as badly, and two, could wait until I was older. Like, they wouldn't have diminishing returns. Something like a Lamborghini, the older I get, the less cool it becomes. And so that's why I ultimately decided, fuck it, let's get the car. I really enjoy it so far. I mean, it's been great this week. I think the only cons so far, one, that it's a two-seater, and the other one is that it doesn't have a lot of space, so hard to bring stuff into. Other than that, it's pretty amazing all around. I think those are the only two complaints, and like, yeah, first world problems. I mean, not even first world, like rich problems. These aren't, you know, I'm not like crying over them or anything. It's overall really cool. It's not like— it doesn't really change me. I think it has been a confidence booster the last few days, just to know like, yeah, I own a Lamborghini. It's made me— I kind of felt like young Bruce Wayne going to graduation today, and that felt great. It gave me a lot of confidence, and, uh, my garage— I wasn't worried about what anyone thought about me. I only needed my own validation, and that's something I think everyone should get by themselves. Having that because of materialistic things is not good. It's not good. So maybe I need to do some more soul searching to really find that deep down. But I mean, hopefully this lasts permanently and it's not just a temporary thing. The coolest thing about this car is that it's a very clear manifestation of the last 10 years of hard work for me grinding on so many different companies. It's all manifested into this one expensive purchase. And, you know, numbers on a screen, that's something where, I mean, you could imagine like, wow, millions of dollars on the screen. It's like, it just doesn't hit as hard as seeing something that takes up an entire room that you could sit in and drive and feel the force, the acceleration on you. The thrust, everything. Cars even have thrust. I don't know, I think that's like a planned term. So that's my favorite part, is just seeing it and then realizing, yeah, like, I worked for this, I earned it. Because honestly, before this, it's like easy to just think— it's, it was, it's been kind of easy for me to forget that I'm doing more than other people are. Or let me rephrase, the last few weeks I was dealing with a bunch of high school things— graduation, the last weeks leading up to high school ending with tests, and then a bunch of high school parties. And it really made me feel just like a normal high schooler, especially because I'm in a community of all high schoolers. But every time I take a trip to San Francisco all of a sudden I realize like, wow, okay, everyone thinks I'm super impressive and what I'm doing is actually really cool, especially at a young age. But around all these people, I just feel like I'm normal in high school. But then getting something like this, this is like a constant reminder that what I'm doing is not normal, that I am doing something better. And I think that feeling is empowering, inspiring. It's a confidence booster. It, it also just encourages me, I think, to want to do more work because now I see what the lifestyle gets you. I mean, if I wouldn't buy things anyway, then I would just like— there's kind of a cognitive dissonance. I'm making all this money, but I'm not spending money. So what's the point of even making it and working so hard anyway? So yeah, it's been really fun so far. I genuinely think that anyone could do this. So I was speaking to a mentor of mine earlier this week and was talking to him about the car, and And I was asking about how he spends his money. And he told me the framework he uses is that he spends as if he knows he's going to keep making the same amount of money indefinitely, that he's not going to start making less money. And I questioned him on that. I was like, isn't that where most people go wrong? There's so many stories of young, successful people who just blow all their money, never make it back. He made a very good point. We are entrepreneurs. We are businessmen at heart. These— the people that do that kind of thing are usually young athletes. There may be musicians, people that rise to fame overnight and then they drop off. But the skills that we have, skills that I have and that I've been building, that I already have built they apply to really anything in business, and it's not really tied to my personality at all. I can go anonymous and build up another business with the same skills and make a lot of money, be very successful. I don't need to worry about falling off because it's just a skill set It's a mindset and something that I will hold forever. As long as I stay low to the ground, as long as I don't get complacent, I'm not going to lose my ability to build companies. I'm going to always be able to, as long as, you know, I stay in the game. Honestly, I thought I would have gotten a lot more hate for getting the car, but everything has been super positive. I don't know if behind my back people are hating on it. But to my face, at least in everything I heard, I haven't heard one negative thing from anyone. So here we are. I'm officially done with high school and moving on to real life. Even though I'm committed to college, I'm trying not to make any decisions with that being a blocker because I only want to go there for a semester and it is an experiment. I honestly don't know if going there for the sole purpose of making friends is a good strategy to actually make friends, because those friendships would be pretty contrived. I think the best friendships are stemmed from really not trying to go after friends. But we'll see, we'll see how it goes. I don't know why, but my gut is just pulling me to go to Japan. And I went last August, it was super fun, it was an awesome trip. I learned a lot. I went to the rock garden in Kyoto where Steve Jobs actually would go and meditate. He allegedly came up with the idea for the iPhone there. I want to go back there. I want to meditate, listen to an audiobook there. I don't really meditate, but I do listen to audiobooks and do have— I go into really deep thinking sessions. So I would love to just go to Japan and do that, maybe alone honestly, or maybe with someone, most likely with someone. I haven't traveled alone before, especially not to a In life, I've traveled alone but not to a foreign country. I think it'd be cool. I'm thinking of going sometime mid-July. And you know what I really love about Japan is how clean it is. I think it's also like Japan is just a place where I don't know why, but I feel like if I'm trying to discover the soul, discover the next step that's the place to be. Maybe it's something in their culture that I've learned, or their philosophies, because a lot of philosophers I feel like came out of there. Stoicism, for example. I'm saying good night to the huracán. I'm really trying to just document my life as an 18-year-old who's building a company while doing a lot of cool shit. And I'm really just learning. The biggest things I want to just pass on is the message that, one, you can do anything. It's not like I'm some super genius. I just spend more time than the average person actually thinking and trying and working. I also want to pass the message that there are no rules to anything. There are truly no rules besides the laws of physics. You can really do anything. People will try to pass all of these frameworks and rules on everyone in the world, try to bound people in boxes, saying like, you can't be these at the same time. Like, this guy was telling me that the founders and the visionaries can't also be the CEO. They can't have organization skills and visionary skills. And I truly believe that no one can say that. There are always exceptions to the rules. You can truly just do anything. Yeah, guys, I'll catch you later.
