I actually had never heard of this guy before until I saw this. I don’t own a car (yet) but if I ever want to try my hand at tuning something up I might need to give him a YT follow. Love the commitment to transparency–much needed when you’re making that big of an investment.
This is really fascinating, I appreciate how much he prioritizes transparency. The automotive industry is riddled with bias, making it genuinely difficult to feel confident that you’re making the right choice or evaluation.
I love the talk in the comments about his transparency with users and peers. It truly is an important part of Alex’s entrepreneurial style: letting others see the REAL, the grass roots, and not being afraid to see it.
