[00:07] Wake up filthy. [Music]

[00:31] time we have eight cars. And it had been a long time since I showed you what you all know, I've been through a process of losses and gains, but I've recovered, which has allowed me to get my garage back and now a little

[00:45] better. And here's Irvin. I don't know if you all remember. He came to my house for a month and managed to make $1,000 in a month, and it turned out I liked him and we adopted him. Irvin is like a son to me, even though he's older than me. So,

[00:59] . He lost and he won back. Look at the level of recovery. We recovered, and a little bit more. And that's why today I'm going to show you the garage. So go check the keys. Here we have 1 2 3 4

[01:12] 5 6 7 8. The McLaren one is a little torn because McLaren always always have something wrong with them: one day the engine, one day the brakes, one day the key, but it doesn't matter. We won't see the cars at the top because

[01:26] you already know them, which are the McLaren and the Lamborghini Huracán. I've had them for almost a year now. We're just going to look at the new cars. I don't know if you remember this one, which is the Ferrari. This was the Ferrari I bought in Miami. This

[01:39] Ferrari was first black, then gray, then purple, now it's red and it basically a new car because I brought it to the Dominican Republic was here. And here is the wonderful Ferrari F8 tribute. Don't

[01:55] think that I'm going to be talking about how the speed is such and such and it runs at 1000 horsepower per hour. I don't know. I know it's a Ferrari, I know it's red, I know it's really tough, it sounds loud, and that's it . I don't know anything else,

[02:08] It's fast. And we have a lot of experience with this car. The bad thing about this elevator here is that usually when I get out of the car and go up, bam, I always bump my head on this thing. But come and see the Ferrari inside, I haven't had

[02:22] time to reveal it to you. This is my most beautiful acquisition. Inside it smells like Ferrari. It only has 1000 miles and I bought it with the Kid Novitech. I'm going to turn it on so you can hear it for a little while. I'm

[02:48] because we went out around 1 in the morning, started four cars and it was too noisy. But look, it's nothing super special, it's a normal Ferrari, a Ferrari, right? A regular Ferrari. Uh, a Ferrari.

[03:03] It's a Ferrari. It has a full carbon fiber interior. Let's see if it shows up carbon fiber. It has another little screen here. I don't know that screen is for, like for the Passenger Princess that doesn't exist yet, so that it can

[03:15] but it's coming soon, don't worry. I need the music to change. There is n't much space back here. This car surprisingly has CarPlay, which is that little screen here has CarPlay, I mean, it's a little screen like

[03:31] 6 inches, no, just kidding, like 2 inches, and it has CarPlay. I mean, I map comes up here, although it looks super small and the map is cut off, but it's cool. And

[03:43] I can say that this car has one of the best, I'm best sound systems I've ever had in a supercar, this one and the Porsche.

[03:56] Look at the hoops. I specifically bought this model because it has the complete Novitech kit, it has all these Novitech parts on the rims, it has the Novitech muffler, and I keep it here because I'm usually

[04:09] leaving the cars I use most often on the lift below . I mean, you had to see before, when there wasn't an elevator, it was one car here, another car here, another car here. Do you remember? But it should also be emphasized that it's

[04:22] difficult to put those cars up there. It's difficult, I mean, it looks easy, but come and see the system. to take it. Here in this area we have those ramps. Those ramps have to be manually attached to the

[04:36] elevator. There are four ramps because otherwise the car will hit the ground when we try to go up. So sadly, that's the downside of having an elevator. I would prefer not to have it, but the parking lot isn't that big and I love my house

[04:49] . I don't want to move right now. So, we have to lower it, put it here, thing is that it has to be 100% straight because the lift is exactly the size of the car. The elevator can only carry 5,000 kg, that is, only

[05:05] supercross. It can't carry the Rolls Royce or any of these because it doesn't provide enough. Millionaire problems I want to I was supposed to want a 10,000 kg lift, but they couldn't get it

[05:19] in time and I got this one instead. Then, we have a car that you haven't seen before, which is the Rollsroyce. This is a 2022 Hulinan. It has all black details, but the nice part of this car is obviously

[05:34] inside. Look, she has the umbrellas. I don't know if you know, but Rollroy owners usually remove the umbrellas and steal them before selling it, and it almost never has the

[05:46] selling it, and it almost never has the umbrellas. And here, turn it on to Irby. Here, look, we have the stars. Comfortable back here. This one doesn't have a mini fridge. I have a little stick that I had

[06:00] a while ago and here I have a screen where I can change the music as if I were driving me. I can change the music from back here, raise or lower the volume, super convenient. This car is comfortable both for you to drive and for someone to ride in the

[06:16] my problem with Rolls Royces. I always thought that owning a Rolls Royce or a Mayback was only for you to drive, but like this one and like the Ghost I have in Miami, you can. How's it going there? Forward. This one is super comfortable, even

[06:29] to drive. Look, these are made of small mattresses, that is, they are not like normal rugs. Oh. But which one do you like more? This one or the one you have in Miami? I think luxury is different, isn't it? The one is a little different. The one in Miami

[06:42] is like more of a car. This one is much bigger, but it's almost the same inside. , because the other one has the refrigerator here. Oh, it has a refrigerator. It says ghost over there. But for the

[06:55] Dominican Republic, obviously, this one is better because it's super tall. I mean, look at the space between the hoops and the floor. If I bring the Ghost from Miami here it's going to be very difficult because it's a car and here it's much better to drive an SUV.

[07:09] Oh, but show him the doors. Oh, look at the doors. Obviously, like here. You never have to be careful there, you never have to pull the door again. Look, this is the other one. It failed you in the middle of the video. This.

[07:22] I think it has a button around here. Dale. Now it's because it detects people. Well, supposedly, n't know what happened, it got messed up in the video, but they're supposed to close automatically. Let me

[07:37] but they're supposed to close automatically. Let me see if I can hit it here. It does touch and they close by themselves. This is my second Rollroyce. Well, the

[07:52] this is also a Rolls Royce, but from 1984. This Culinan here in the Dominican Republic cost about $450,000 more or less. In the United States it would have cost about 350, 340,

[08:08] but coming here with taxes, pesos, all that it's about 450,000. And the Ferrari in the United States cost me 400 for the Novitech kit, the Novitech muffler, and the rims, which are like add-ons, but bringing it here already costs around 500.

[08:23] . I prefer to buy cars in the United States and bring them over rather than buying them here. So, those are the two new acquisitions. You hadn't seen the Porsche either. That's the same Porsche I used to have. It turns out

[08:35] bought it from me, the dealer who bought it from me, resold it back to me because they couldn't sell either the Porsche or the McLaren. The Gwagon C could have been sold, which was actually more or less like a trade for that Rollsroyce

[08:48] Schoolland, but they couldn't sell it because you know we're in the someone comes with money to give me the supercar, it's not financed, there's no way to rent it, it's buying it complete or nothing,

[09:01] only the Alfa. Well, the Alfa is on another level. So, this is the Porsche. Look closely, it has a creamy color, it's not white like before. It used to be white, we changed the color to

[09:13] sand and combined the sand with the red hoops. I've already shown the Porsche in other videos. I bought that one in November when I set my goal of making the biggest trade in a single day. I made a withdrawal and we bought the Porsche. Then

[09:27] here we have the McLaren, which you already know. It's a 2021 McLaren 720S Spider , I think, 2022. We brought it from the United States when I moved here to the Dominican Republic. We have the Lamborghini Huracán, which I already showed you

[09:41] United States when I came to the Dominican Republic. And one that I haven't shown you, but that you have seen in my stories, is the Lamborghini Urus. Look, I'm going to be honest with you, and Irvin is a witness. There is

[09:54] no better car for a third world country than a Lamborghini Urbus. In other words, it doesn't exist. I swear. It's not the most expensive car. This costs about $300,000 here. But it doesn't exist. It's big, it's fast, it's a

[10:08] Lambo, it sounds great, it can go through potholes without any problem. I mean, go through without any problem, but look here, I've already stripped all the And how much does it cost to fix that? Every time it gets damaged, it costs about

[10:25] $500 to repaint, but I usually just glue it back on because I think I'm driving a Yon. In the Ywagon I can get in anywhere, unlike in the Urus where I can't. But come, let's see the Urus inside. That's my favorite. Every

[10:37] day I drive the Urus, even though you can see that I have all these cars there. I don't usually wear them every day. There's too much traffic here every day . There's no way to spend 45 minutes, an hour in a

[10:50] supercross. It's uncomfortable. So that's why I'm always driving this one, the Gwagon before when I had it and now the cool one, they're like the two they use. go, for example, the McLaren, the Porsche and the hurricane through

[11:05] remember. The problem is that the damn Waz, when you use W, it wants you to save time in traffic and sends you through neighborhoods with

[11:17] lots of potholes. The last time that happened to us, we went into the W, we picture with the cars, we were going to be in all the cars, we went into a neighborhood and a lot of people came out saying, "Sensei, a washing machine, sensei, I need

[11:32] a blender." And my God, all the cars were going one after the other and they couldn't get through . The neighborhood was filled with people, there were about 60 or 70 people help me. Motorcyclists and everyone else.

[11:44] only go out in cars at night. Let's take a look at the Urus. This is honestly my Here it is. Look, that's honestly my favorite.

[12:08] like that. It's comfortable inside, it has a massage function. The best music. What you see rising up here is the sound system. It has a 3D sound system and it rises every time you start the car. It has CarPlay, it

[12:23] literally has everything. In other words, the Urus has everything. It's comfortable, tall, and fast. Listen to how it sounds, for example. [Music] [Music] And it can sound better. I

[12:42] perfect that it sounds like that. It doesn't consume as much fuel as many of you racing fuel is expensive here in the Dominican Republic, but cheaper in the United States. It is have anything I want to change, just the glass that

[12:58] n't know if you can see the camera. It's strange that it broke, really. Yes, we were in Puntacana the other day and we left it parked somewhere window was broken, I don't know what happened, but you know this Urus is special, it's not

[13:13] common. I'll go that way. This Urus is not common. Urus vehicles typically have three seats in the back. This one only has two. I mean, if you look closely

[13:25] , it only has two seats. It seems the configuration we chose only allows for two seats. There's supposed to be another seat here, but look what's here. There's this like a drawer, a cup holder, and there's the

[13:39] space to put a refrigerator here. They left you with space for a refrigerator, and there are only this; they have a seat in the middle, but this one doesn't. This one is much more comfortable in the

[13:52] back. Even the back seat can be reclined. I can lie down here without any problem. If I want to come back, I can push that seat forward and lay it down like a

[14:05] Mayback. It's not normal for the back seats to recline. That never happens with the Urus. The one I had in Miami wasn't like that, but it's the perfect car. The wasn't like that, but it's the perfect car. The only bad thing about the Urus is

[14:18] only bad thing about the Urus is the trunk, because the trunk is very small. It 's not that small, really. In other words, compared to a hurricane, you can only fit in section B. And look, it's

[14:31] almost full. Look, I want to be very careful, you know because look, all the plastic parts still have their protective coverings. Look. Ah, but that's because I forgot. Let's take that thing off him.

[14:44] that thing off him. Oh, I'm telling you that like its plastics. You buy a new iPhone. But this color is obviously not the original. We painted it

[14:57] red, mimicking the other Lambo, so they would be sisters. This is the older sister and here is the younger brother. Let's turn it off.

[15:17] And I didn't show you this one, which is also important, but it's not like my main car; it's the car we use for carrying it, for trips, for security, because look, it has police lights here. Those are all

[15:31] always behind us when we're driving. And it's the 2023 Cadillac Escalade driving. And it's the 2023 Cadillac Escalade Platinum. This Cadillac is like the . It's supposed to be the cheapest car

[15:45] Sensei has, it's supposed to be the cheapest car. This one supposed to be the cheapest car. This one goes for about $170,000 here, uh, because of super cool. We put that space back here because we thought

[15:58] less of a problem with the garage, but it wasn't like that. We had no less of a problem with the garage. We still have a garage problem because the cars don't fit properly. So, the idea was like this. This was the smartest idea we could come up with.

[16:13] smartest idea we could come up with. First the Rollroyce there. That Rolls-Royce, First the Rollroyce there. That Rolls-Royce, because it's hardly ever used. Em, he's the oldest, we have to take care of him. And the roof is leather, that is, the roof is 100% leather. It's

[16:26] getting ugly because the roof, this roof is made of leather, so the more it rains, the sun and all that, the more it gets old. Also, remember that it's a 1984 car. How old is it? almost 40 years. 1984.

[16:40] So, we put this one there that hardly moves. The two that are most commonly used here. I use the McLaren a lot, it's one of my favorite cars, but we put it upstairs for now because we have to fix something on the door. These ones

[16:56] that leave daily go here because that way they can leave through that door and this one can leave through this door too, and the cars can leave without having to move any other cars. And the Cadillac, as usual, goes out if we have to go to the

[17:10] boys go to the gym or whatever, has its own exit with its own door and this was the garage. So, what else am I cars? Nothing, let them decide which one is their favorite. I may

[17:26] , but if we start adding up all these cars, this collection is worth about 3 million or so. But if we have million or so. But if we have 450 here, 300 makes 750. Over there we're going to

[17:41] put 200, here 70 would be 1.20, 450 + 550 is 1,000. So 2.20 + 550 is 1,000. So 2.20 Here we have uh 350 350 is 2,720.

[17:57] And how much did the elevators cost you? The elevators cost $9,000 each, but that doesn't count. I'm leaving the garage. So, basically, we have about 2,800 here

[18:14] bringing that one here in this garage. There's not even room for a fart, I mean, there's no room for anything. There's no room for anything. A golf cart that you might want to put there, but there's no room for anything. It would be a 3,000-euro garage living in the Dominican Republic. None of these

[18:29] cars can be rented, none of these cars can be financed. None fully insured to cover everything that might happen to the car. In other words, everything that happens to the car has to be paid for by me. You have to buy them whole, pay the

[18:42] taxes, and maintain them. Because maintenance Gasoline is more expensive. For example, I filled up the Ferrari's tank the other day, it cost 19,000 pesos, which would be like $320,

[18:56] here and it's expensive, it's expensive to own. Uh, I had to make the investment in the car lifts so I could have all the cars here in the garage, but it's

[19:08] worth it, I mean, I love them. I've become passionate about cars. I thought I did liked the experience, but I do like them , I like going out in the Ferrari, I like going out. The four of them drive differently, meaning none of them

[19:21] right? They are all completely different. I could even say that the ones I like the most, which I haven't driven much, are the McLaren and the Ferrari, but that's because they accelerate faster, because the GT3 RS's handling is unique.

[19:35] Exact. If you look closely, this one is better for curves, it's perfect. This one is curves. Fer isn't bad on the curves. The McLaren is very good for The Lambo is very good at making noise. It's like a heavy cart.

[19:49] That one is very good for coming comfortably. This is a hybrid between a car and an This is a hybrid between a car and an SUV. And this is a classic. And I think that garage is perfect, it's balanced. I'm not going to buy another

[20:02] car for the next 2 years. You won't see me changing anything. I'm going to stick wants to buy them, I'll sell them to them. Just send me a DM. I'll sell them to you. Sure, "Look, I'll give you a ton for this one," I'll

[20:16] another one. I don't have any attachment to these things. Even today, I'm recording this video, and in a few hours, we're going to Miami. We're training the cars. I mean, this car just arrived. This car just arrived. I just got the

[20:30] because I didn't have any of these cars here. And we're going to Miami. None cars here. And we're going to Miami. None of these cars are super special, like they don't own me. We have the cars, but the cars don't

[20:43] own us. I mean, we're going to Miami without thinking about the car, to live in the present moment, and the material stuff stays here, no problem. If it crashes, fine, it crashes and gets fixed. Don't worry, but I don't crash

[20:55] crash, and that's why I never crash. I mean, you'll never see me crashing, just chipping rims and... Yeah. drive, I mean, almost everyone here knows how to drive a

[21:07] Exactly. Here at my house we have the whole team. Ibrin is here, the filmmaker is here, Delvi, my assistant, Robert, my security guard, Daniel, another security guard, and they all know how to drive the cars. So, all that's left is for us to

[21:20] enjoy it. And if you like these kinds of videos of my day-to-day life, let me regularly. I hadn't gotten around to blogging before, but believe me, my life see me more on Instagram, what I post, the stories, all that, but you almost never

[21:35] see my day-to-day life on the blog. If this video gets a lot of comments saying "blog," I'm going to dedicate myself to blogging and sharing my life with you all the next video. I hope you liked my almost $3 million garage

[21:48] in the Dominican Republic. I'm sending you a kiss and goodbye.
