Speeed

In the spirit of the New Year and New Year’s Resolutions, I’ve put together a list of habits that I wish I would have started doing years ago. It’s never too late to improve your life and yourself. It’s 2025, the perfect time to start working out, eating healthy, leave behind all those past mistakes and look towards the future! The world is pretty wild right now; all we have control over is how we treat ourselves and other people. Let’s start the year off right with some good ol’ self improvement. I love you!

It's 2025, which means we (USA) can now legally import cars made in 2000 from anywhere in the world --JDM, European, wherever! We already have access to the likes of the Nissan R34 GT-R, Silvias, etc, so I had to dig a bit to find some interesting ones. Lmk you what think, and what you think I missed. And as always, I love you!

I got my mk3 VW Golf back from Donut! And it's finally time to get it back up and running as the first Speeed build series / project car. I'm so excited; subscribe to follow along.

The elusive cool daily driver. Finding a car that is fun, reliable, comfortable, economical and practical while also contributing a net positive to your overall vibe and aesthetic is…a tricky pickle. That's why I made this list! I obviously couldn't include everything so lmk what I missed!

What went wrong with my 5 cylinder 07k engine in my mk3 VW Golf? Today we find out.

What health trends actually work? We've seen them all over TikTok, they all claim to improve your life. We decided to try them all. For 30 days we packed our schedule with the most insane, most viral health trends we could find.

Volkswagen used to make cool cars for weird little guys like us. GTIs, TDIs, Sciroccos. Cars with soul. Now they seem to be just another boring corporation chasing crossover sales. In this video, we dig into how VW lost the plot, why their recent cars feel so lifeless, and what that means for car culture going forward. From dieselgate to design-by-committee, here's how the people's car stopped caring about the people.

Ever wondered what car logos actually mean? From the Chevy bowtie to the Ferrari horse and Toyota’s “sombrero,” we break down the history, hidden symbols, and wild stories behind every famous car badge. Learn why brands like Ford, Porsche, and Lamborghini chose their logos—and which ones are just totally made up. Car logos, explained.

Do they really not make ’em like they used to? We tested the same products from 1975 and 2025: Craftsman tools, Gillette razors, Old Spice deodorant, Hanes t-shirts, Converse Chuck Taylors, Stanley thermos, Rawlings baseball glove, and even Coca-Cola -- to see if they really “don’t make ’em like they used to.”

I’m finally getting a drift car. But after spending time with some of the most obsessive drifters in the world… I want _all_ of them. We ranked the best beginner drift cars — Miata, 350Z, AE86, RX-8, Skyline, BRZ, BMW, all of it — and somehow I left more confused than when I started. This is what happens when you try to make a smart decision and end up falling in love with the dumbest car on the list. Which one should we actually buy?

Nissan went from GT-R legends and Silvia icons to losing $40B in market cap and slashing jobs worldwide. In this video, we ask: Can Nissan be saved? James explores three plans—go back to the golden era, copy other carmakers like Toyota or Hyundai, or reinvent the brand from scratch—and compares them to Nissan’s actual turnaround strategy, RE:Nissan. From the R32 Skyline to the new Z, this is a car guy’s deep dive into what went wrong and what could fix it.

Is college a waste of time? According to the Federal Reserve, 35% of graduates regret their field of study. So in this video, we break down the Top 5 Most Regretted College Degrees --and the Top 5 Least Regretted, to see which majors people wish they’d skipped, and which ones actually paid off. We talk to some of our friends who are real grads, compare experiences across majors like education, law, business, computer science, and engineering, and try to make sense of what makes a degree feel “worth it.” We also try to decide whether Zach was wrong to go to art school.

We’re doing a simple engine swap in 48 hours. Our Mk3 VW Golf “Norman” (or "Normie") makes about 100 horsepower, so we’re dropping in a 2.5L 07K five-cylinder from a newer VW to double the power and finally make this thing quick. It’s a full weekend of pulling the old motor, prepping the new one, wiring, and trying to get it running before time runs out. What should we do next??

What happens when you go camping with 100 years of gear? We spent three days in Yosemite testing out camping tech from 1925, 1975, and 2025 — hiking, cooking, freezing, and slowly losing our minds — to see how much of a difference a century of innovation actually makes. From wool blankets and hardtack to freeze-dried beef stroganoff and titanium sporks, this was the ultimate test of comfort, suffering, and friendship. Part history lesson, part gear torture test, and part reminder of how ridiculously good we have it now.

We tested viral “time-saving” products to see if they’re actually worth it or just tech-shaped clutter. Paint roller that pumps paint directly to the brush, inflatable automatic shirt-ironing robot thing, 20-second toothbrush… even the legendary Slap Chop. We timed each one, compared them to the normal version, and found out which inventions actually save time and which ones only save effort in theory. If you want to save time, this video will not help. But if you want to waste time efficiently, you’re in the right place. Products we tested: • Wagner PowerFlow EZ Roller (auto paint roller) • Bellairon Hands-Free Ironing Machine (inflatable dude lol) • Feno Smart Brush ("20-second toothbrush") • Slap Chop • Universal Socket • Instant pop-up tent
