I bought too many cars in 2025… Here’s what happened!

2025 has been absolute chaos, so here’s my full year recap. In this video, I’m looking back on everything that happened in 2025: engine rebuilds, project cars, wins, setbacks, bad decisions (obviously), and the friends that made it all worth it. We’re starting this wrap-up right here in my garage: the same place where I rebuilt my Volvo 340 engine at the start of the year, and where I’m now ending 2025 rebuilding the engine of my Volvo V70 2.5T. Full circle. This year included: Rebuilding my Volvo 340 engine and taking YouTube seriously with weekly uploads. A Renault 5 GT Turbo engine rebuild for a friend Buying (and slightly regretting) my Volvo 850R project Adding a cheap & rusty Honda Civic to the fleet Welding, sanding, painting, learning new skills Way too many cars (nine… yes, nine) Trips to Japan and Austria Paint disasters, exploding clear coat, rain during paint jobs Feeling overwhelmed, but never giving up Even though not every project is finished yet, 2025 was the year I learned the most. Welding for the first time, prepping a full car for paint, rebuilding engines (my favorite thing in the world), and spending countless hours in garages with friends. Most importantly: you guys kept me going. I read every comment, and the support on this channel genuinely means everything to me. Thank you for being part of this journey and for making all the chaos worth it. Looking ahead to 2026: Get the 850R back on the road Finish the Civic and BMW E28 Do more engine rebuilds Fewer cars, better projects (hopefully 😅) Thanks for spending 2025 with me. See you in 2026 — and happy new year ❤️
