  • - Yes I did.

  • I just bought a new supercar.

  • Now, if you are a fan of my work,

  • if you've been following on social media,

  • I wanna see if you could guess what car I just bought.

  • Comment below.

  • Now, did I buy a Ferarri?

  • Did I buy a Lamborghini?

  • Did I buy another Bentley?

  • Maybe a Rolls Royce?

  • I don't know.

  • Comment below.

  • See if you know.

  • Let me give you a few seconds.

  • By the way, if this is the first time

  • you're watching my video,

  • make sure you click on the subscribe button

  • and turn on the notification.

  • Every single day I upload a new video for you.

  • So, what did I buy?

  • Now, let me give you little bit of a hint.

  • I've been wanting this car for a long time.

  • It is very, very difficult to find.

  • It is almost a collectible,

  • and it's extremely, extremely valuable.

  • Do you know what this car is?

  • Are you ready?

  • Are you really ready?

  • Here we go!

  • And that is, dun-na!

  • Ford Escort,

  • a white Ford Escort.

  • Now, you may be thinking,

  • "What the hell Dan?"

  • "What is this?"

  • This is actually the exact same model as my first car.

  • The first car that I bought when I immigrated to Canada,

  • when I got my driver license,

  • when I was old enough to drive.

  • Now, at the time, I bought this exact same model

  • from my aunt for $2,500.

  • It was a lemon.

  • Right, with like 100,000 miles on it or something like that.

  • It's very, very difficult to find.

  • So, when I found this car,

  • I had my team, Desmond, negotiated with the owner

  • and I bought this for $800.

  • Now, the problem was, when I bought this for $800,

  • the car doesn't run.

  • So, we had to put in another few hundred dollars of work,

  • just to make sure the thing would run, right?

  • So, why did I buy this car?

  • I bought this car

  • because I want to always remember where I came from.

  • This is where I came from.

  • Lok 1st.

  • Dan Lok's very first car,

  • when I had no money.

  • (sniffs) You can smell it.

  • It stinks.

  • There's no new leather smell, right?

  • This is so old, you can see this,

  • follow me, right?

  • This actually brings back a lot of memory, right?

  • 'Cause I remember my windshield actually

  • didn't work very well.

  • It would make a lot of noise.

  • I don't know if you've had that experience,

  • like with old car, it would go

  • gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee,

  • and like when it's raining in Vancouver,

  • believe it, it rains a lot,

  • and then we have this,

  • and then the brake.

  • Now, what's very interesting is the car,

  • at the time, that passenger door actually doesn't work.

  • So what would happen is my mom,

  • I would drive my mom to get groceries.

  • Every single time, my mom to get on and off the car,

  • she had to come on this way.

  • She had to go on the car first on the driver's seat,

  • and she had to climb over

  • and actually do this, right?

  • to do this in order to get on and off.

  • Now, this car, it's better 'cause

  • it actually works on this side,

  • so I could get out, but this,

  • this was my first car, this.

  • (smooth jazz)

  • So, I want to put in my garage and always,

  • remember how far I've come,

  • how hard I've worked

  • and always remember, all of you watching this,

  • that it doesn't matter where you came from.

  • It doesn't matter the mistakes that you've made.

  • It doesn't matter the roads you've been down.

  • It doesn't matter.

  • I don't care where you are

  • because your past does not equal your future.

  • You could change it

  • because sometimes, when it's so far away,

  • when it happens so long ago,

  • when you're living your life, day to day,

  • you don't remember these things,

  • but every single time I see this car now,

  • I'm like, wow,

  • this was who I was.

  • This is what I was driving,

  • and also it teaches me

  • how to be humble, right?

  • How to be humble and appreciate more

  • of what I have today

  • and the people in my life.

  • So, no, I have zero interests

  • in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and things like that.

  • This is my supercar.

  • I am more excited getting this,

  • than a supercar,

  • and I'll put it here front and center in my garage,

  • and I want people to know,

  • and even my friends they see it.

  • They came here.

  • I said, "This is what I came from",

  • from this to the Bentley,

  • from this to the company,

  • the brand that we have today.

  • So, share with me what's your first car?

  • What is your first car?

  • And what's your dream car?

  • What is the car that you would get

  • if price is no object?

  • What is car that you would really want to buy?

  • Comment below.

- Yes I did.
