Picking Up the Supra
After a long wait, it's finally time to pick up the Supra. The narrator is excited to get the car and take it to a car show later in the day. However, he's a bit tired from not sleeping well the night before.
The narrator needs to go to the gym for some cardio first before heading to the dealership. He's hoping the Supra is ready, as the dealership had promised it would be done today. The narrator isn't a big fan of the C7 Corvette he's been driving and is eager to get back in the Supra.
Once at the dealership, the narrator is relieved to see the Supra is ready. He drops off the Corvette and takes a quick look at the Supra, noting it needs a quick wipe down. The narrator is happy to have the Supra back and is excited to take it to the car show later that evening.
Before heading to the gym, the narrator spots a new Supra with a nitrous system that sounds crazy. He's glad he went with the standard Supra, as he doesn't think he'd feel safe driving a car with nitrous.
After the gym, the narrator plans to meet up with his friend Cedric at the car show. He's looking forward to showing off the Supra and potentially doing some marketing by finding cars with Instagram handles to collaborate with.
Preparing for the Car Show
Preparing for the Car Show
We're heading to the Pavilion car show today, and I'm excited to take the Supra. I haven't heard back from the dealership yet if the car is ready, but I'm assuming it is since they said it would be done today. If the Supra isn't ready, we might have to bring something else, but I'm really hoping to take the Supra.
Before we go, I need to do some cardio at the gym. I make sure to do cardio every day, so I'll get that done and then we can head to the car show. I think the car show is a great opportunity for some marketing. We can try to find cars with Instagram handles and shoot some videos to post on our own profiles, tagging the owners. This can help us get some shoutouts and grow our following.
I also want to show you how you can collaborate with people at these types of events. There are all kinds of meetups and events on platforms like Meetup.com, from coding to crypto, and you can network with people and leverage their social media to grow your own. The key is bringing in attention and traffic, which is more valuable than just knowledge these days.
Once we have the Supra, we'll give it a quick wipe down to clean off any handprints or dirt. Then we'll head to the gym, do our cardio, and get ready for the car show at 5pm. I'm looking forward to seeing some cool cars and trying out our marketing strategy. Let's do this!
Interviews at the Car Show
Interviews at the Car Show
We started by trying to find car owners with Instagram handles on their vehicles, as that would allow us to collaborate and get shoutouts on their profiles. However, we quickly realized that directly asking "what do you do for a living to afford this car?" was a bit too forward.
Instead, we decided to have a set of standard questions to ask each person:
- What do you do for a living to be able to afford this car?
- What is your ultimate goal?
- What is the best advice you would give to the younger generation?
This provided a more structured approach and allowed us to get consistent responses that we could use for the video.
We interviewed a few different car owners, including the owner of an modded BMW M2 and the owner of a Hellcat. While some were more receptive than others, we were able to get some good footage and information to include in the vlog.
One key lesson learned was to try to get the person's direct contact info, like their phone number or email, rather than just their Instagram handle. This ensures we can reach them directly to coordinate any further collaboration, rather than relying on them seeing a message on social media.
Overall, the interviews at the car show provided some valuable content for the vlog, while also giving us ideas on how to improve our approach for future events.
Dinner at Dominick's
Dinner at Dominick's
We just got done at Dominick's, and I think it was a great experience overall. The food was lovely - everything was tender and cooked well, except for the steak which was a little overcooked. The service was a bit slow, but that's understandable given how busy the restaurant was.
While we weren't able to sit on the rooftop patio as we had hoped, we still had a good time. The atmosphere at Dominick's is always fantastic, and the 1,200 bill was worth it for the quality of the meal.
Next time, we'll be sure to make a reservation ahead of time so we can enjoy the rooftop view. We managed to get a short clip of it, so we'll be sure to include that in the video.
All in all, it was a fun night out and a great way to cap off the car show. We're looking forward to the next adventure!
Conclusion
Conclusion
We had a great time at the car show today, despite the hot weather. We were able to interview a few car owners and get some interesting insights into how they were able to afford their impressive vehicles.
The highlight was definitely getting to see the Supra that had been modified with a nitrous system - that thing sounded insane! Even though we were a bit jealous, we're still really happy with our own Supra and can't wait to start modding it.
After the car show, we headed to Dominic's for some delicious Italian food. The service was a bit slow, but the food was fantastic as always. We were a little disappointed we couldn't sit on the rooftop patio, but we still had a great time.
Overall, it was a successful day of content creation and networking. We got some good footage and interviews that we can use for our channel. And we made some new connections that could lead to future collaborations. Can't wait to see what the next car event has in store!
