Build Your Own is a car channel for people who want clear, detailed, no-fluff automotive information before they buy, build, compare, or customize a vehicle.
I break down new and used vehicles, trim levels, standard features, specs, engines, colors, options, pricing, owner’s manual features, build-and-price tools, and real-world ownership details.
My goal is simple: help you understand the vehicle before you waste time at a dealership, miss an important option, or buy the wrong trim.
You’ll find videos on trucks, SUVs, sports cars, luxury cars, classic vehicles, RVs, Chevy/GMC trucks, Porsche, Corvette, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai, Mercedes, Cadillac, and more.
Subscribe if you like detailed car research, practical buying advice, and straight answers without the hype.

My 2026 Hyundai Venue trim level video is live.
This one is interesting because the Venue may now be the cheapest new vehicle in America, starting at just $20,550 before destination.
For 2026, Hyundai simplified the lineup to three trims: SE, SEL, and SEL w/ 2-Tone Roof. The SE is the budget play, the SEL is the smart value trim, and the SEL w/ 2-
Tone Roof is the style pick.
My choice would be the SEL.

Most people think the "Base" Porsche 911 Carrera is just an entry-level car, but after digging into the specs, I found out it’s basically a 992.1 GTS in disguise (with Standard 6-piston brakes and GTS turbos!).
Question for you: Does the 911 losing its analog tachometer for a 100% digital dash ruin the soul of the car, or is it a necessary upgrade?

I just published my complete 2026 Ford F-150 hub.
If you’re shopping the 2026 F-150, I broke everything down in plain English: trims, engines, price/MSRP, towing/payload, MPG, interior/colors, release date, changes, build strategy, and how to shop listings near you.
Start here: www.buildpriceoption.com/2026-ford-f-150/
If you tell me what you’re towing (or what trim you’re considering), I’ll point you to the right page.

Quick question: Do you know the MAXIMUM car price you can actually afford?
Not what a dealer will approve you for...
Not what "feels" right...
But what financial experts recommend based on YOUR income?
Most people don't. And that's how they end up "car poor."
I built a free calculator that shows you exactly what you can afford using the 20/4/10 rule (20% down, 4-year max loan, 10% of income for payment).
Takes 2 minutes. No email required.

Know your budget BEFORE you shop. Your future self will thank you.

Which one would you run—and in what build? Let me know in the comments.

📘 New Guide Just Dropped – And This One’s Personal
A few months ago, my wife Amanda came to me with an idea.
She said, "What if we created a guide for people who don't know where to start when buying a car? Not gearheads, not experts—just everyday folks who don't want to get played."
So she sat down and started writing.
What came out of that process is now The Smart Car Shopper’s Playbook—a brutally honest, easy-to-read guide that walks you through everything before you ever set foot on a dealership lot.
I helped shape it, added my best tips from years of experience, and we published it together.
This is the same real-world advice we give friends and family behind the scenes—
💡 How to figure out what you actually need
🕵️♂️ How to avoid getting tricked by dealer “extras”
⏳ The best times to buy (and when to walk away)
💬 What to say, when to stay quiet, and how to negotiate like a pro
It's not another fluff-filled checklist. It's a full-on playbook—and it's only $5.
This was Amanda’s first book—and I'm beyond proud of what we created together. If you're planning to buy a car soon (or even just thinking about it), grab it. It’ll be the best five bucks you spend this year.
👉 Download it instantly here: carspecsandtrims.com/the-smart-car-shoppers-playbo…
Let us know what you think. This one means a lot to us.
