Hert FORGOT he owns this JDM Legend.

What do you give Hert when he already has a shop full of cars? Hunter, Smith and Sebastian settle on getting one of them running again, secretly taking on his dormant Toyota AE86 Levin for his birthday.

In "Hert FORGOT he owns this JDM Legend.", the job means removing a damaged custom Hasselgren-built Beams engine and transferring parts onto a stock replacement. Flashbacks show the coupe losing power at a driving event. Back in the shop, Hert walks in before the surprise is ready: "You guys went to my house?" Soon he is marveling that he hasn't driven the car in two years. Chairslayer's visit adds another birthday reunion to the engine work.

The upload has reached roughly 122,000 views, the largest audience of the channel's two new posts. Viewers are picking out the familiar shop friendships, Chairslayer's return and the distinctive clutch sound. There's also some affectionate amusement at Hert describing thoroughly built cars as simple.

The other arrival, "It's truthfully taxing work. #nappyboyauto #tpain #hertlife", joins the Levin video among the channel's busiest uploads right now. The older "T-Pain & Hert Takeover The CRAZIEST Airbnb in the COUNTRY!", built around a racetrack stay, continues drawing views too.

Nappy Boy Automotive added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently a little below its usual level. Nearby in the motoring group, Driveway Finds is enjoying a much bigger viewing surge, while EVENFLOW is closer to its normal rhythm. Here, the week's most substantial project is personal: friends putting Hert's long-parked coupe back together.
