 Like, I do a lot of track driving. I'm a data engineer, too, for a professional race team, so I fly out to all the race tracks. Are you doing the race cars and shit? Yeah, yeah, that's like what I do. I do performance tuning, data engineering, track set-ups, track suspension, the whole nine, everything. I'm sold. The black market is open. Hit the shit, J-O-N, and I'm sold. I'm talking about Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and everybody who got two is. No, I love some Ferraris and Lamborghinis and all types of cars. But you know, I like old school muscle cars. But he out here tuning race cars. I know he can get down. So we have a point file. Old school tune out, don't get me wrong. I like everything. Once he got four wheels on, I'm cool with it. All right, man. First of all, I got to welcome you to the trap, to the black market. And you know this platform was created to, you know, to highlight and expose some of the people who are doing dope shit in the black market. Got my man there, Goshay, in here with us today. Goshay, Goshay, I have to be here. From foremost speech, y'all. Yeah. Where y'all located, man? In Bucket. You know, like, literally right next door to Mercedes-Benz in Bucket. Oh, OK. That's smart marketing right there. Literally. Well, you're a young dude. How did you get into this industry? So I went to school from Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Southern, you know, the real GSU. Just throw that out there real quick. But ended up coming back, need a summer job one time. And I used to work at the Whole Foods of Bucket on West Paces and whatnot. And it was like, well, we got, you know, we kind of fool, we already hired people like that. And I was like, all right, you know, big deal. I was driving out of the street. And I just kind of see this shop, like, to the right in my corner of my eye. They had a number of porters just sitting outside. And I kind of walked in there, you know, telling, like, you know, just kind of looking for some work. I like cars. I didn't work on them professionally or anything like that, but, you know, just did my own basic stuff, like, at the house. And it was like, yeah, you know, we can kind of see. So they didn't really give me a job. I showed up on Monday at 6 AM. You just showed up? I just showed up. And it was like, all right, well, we're just going to find something for you to do then. And I just stayed with it ever since. So then, start off as an office boy. Hold up, what did they find you to do? You'll find me, I literally, like, I never, the very first day, I cleaned out the office. That was it. OK. They was like, just reorganize all the papers, make the filing cabinet look normal, blase blase. What was the first car shit they put you on? Car stuff? They had to do an oil change for, like, a 9-11. You know, something simple. And they're real basic to do. If you ever do one someday, it's super simple. So you can't, like, mess that up too bad. And pretty much they just taught me everything I need to know. And I just kept going from there. And I got more involved, actually, like, running the business, you know what I'm saying? Because I was, it's a small independent shop. So you're kind of a little bit more hands-on and say, like, we're going to do a dealership, you know what I'm saying? Were you just kind of stuck to one role? Yeah. So I literally had to do everything, like, check people in, you know, run the, send out vendor payments, order stuff, you name it. I had to do it for the shop. And then, eventually, I ended up turning into working on the cars at the same time while doing all that same. So I ended up doing, basically, the back end, the front end, side to side of the whole business that got into it. You just took the initiative to show up at 6 o'clock Monday. Yeah, that show at 6 a.m. Hey, man, don't ask for the job you want. Take the job that you want. Show up at 6 o'clock on a Monday. Ain't nobody going to be there, but. Yeah, they wouldn't even open yet. Exactly. I'm setting the parking lot for, like, two and a half hours for anybody to show it up. Show up at 7.45. Save yourself some time. It was cool. I enjoy the experience. I love what I do. Every day, I get up, go to the shop, work on some car. Same old, same old, same old. Sometimes, it ain't really about the car. It's the people you deal with with the cars. And the portion market's just got that sweet level of people you deal with. You meet all kinds of people. You'd be surprised. What's up?

Man, what kind of preventative maintenance advice would you give to the Porsche owners? The maintenance, drive it. Like, drive the shit out of it. Word. Like, I mean, like... That's the best advice. Like, they build it to be driven. You know, like, a lot of people are like, oh, I got like this really rare car only put like a thousand miles a year. I'm like, those are cars I see the most that have the most issues because they just don't get... They sit and everything and just tears up. Like, you don't have to be like a baby to car. You can drive it around and beat the shit out of it. And I promise it'll be fine. Like, that's what it's built for, to take that kind of abuse and stretch his legs. Like, to me, I'm not soft on any car because any time I want to touch a car or I build a car for somebody, I want to make sure when it leaves my hands and it goes to the customer hands that they can do whatever I would do to the car to make it run this accent. You say you specialize in, like, hat-end motors, like, ferrars and Porsche and things of that nature, but what are some of the other stuff that you work on, other vehicles? Oh. Because I'm about to start bringing some old schools up there. You're not just about to be working on expensive shit. No, I mean, why we still... Money, car, loads and tons of this shit, too. Give it to him, my shit. Man, I got a guy that's going to send me a short bit of C-10 pretty soon, full LS swap in it. You do swap? Yeah, I can do something with that. You know, it's not good, dude. We got... I'm putting me a Porsche model in a Monte Carlo. We're building right now, so we're running a E46 M3s with, like, you know, 6.0 LS's in them. Yeah. You know, G-Force Trans, the whole nine winners, quick diffs. You're losing them. You're losing them. It's all the big technical stuff, but essentially, you know, they're full-blown, like, drift cars, essentially. Word. I got an 840 BMW that I'm bringing back to life. 840? 840. What year? Little something. What? I'm going to come and get in tune. What you want to do to it? Man, I'm just bringing it back to life, man. I stayed away from the V12, so I just kept on doing that. Like, paid in full style, you know, with those V-basses? Exactly. Okay, yeah. Exactly. Yeah, I know that. Yeah, bring it back to life. Give me a nice little sporty tune, get on out of there. Man, that ain't no big deal. I got you. That's what's up, man. Drop the location one more time so they don't know how to find you. Located at 2711, Piedmont Road, Northeast, Atlanta, Georgia, 30305, up there in Buckhead. I said, literally, right out the Miami Circle, before Mercedes-Benz and Buckhead. I'm not going anywhere. I plan on staying there for a little while. I like it. Man, it's just dope to see somebody, a young black man, in that industry, because usually it's just some old, old white guys. For sure. Yeah, I can get to it in five, six months. I'm definitely on the parts. The only, probably like Blackhurst you're going to meet. I would say there is one other Porsche Black Tech in Atlanta, but he's a real old school guy. I mean, the guy is like, damn your genius. I mean, but you talk to him in a lens. He knows a lot of things. He don't get a lot of recognition just because he's in real old school with it, but he gave me a lot of insight, a lot of things he was telling me about like in the past, about how he used to go into racing and the guy could just build anything you could think of. So, I would say there's some people out there, but for sure when I'm out at the racetrack, I'm like maybe one or three, maybe. If I'm lucky, I might be the only person there at the same time. So it just depends. Man, give me your top five cars of all time. Top five cars all time. Jay-o-way in my door right here, he like many man. Many man. Many man and weird shaped SUV. The little Odyssey's be pushing, man, but I guess top five easily. Honda NSS got me number one for me. Dream car for sure. You don't have one? Who said I didn't? I'm asking. To say. I got Brooklyn Green 195. Very, very love the car. Never drive it because it's terrifying to drive. Is it? Well, it's not like it's dangerous. It's just everybody else around you is terrifying. That's what makes it really complicated. Cause you're like, man, somebody hits this thing, it's one of 34 cars. It's gone at that point, you know what I mean? You don't really want to like mess the originality. The car is all original. Like nothing's ever been touched, no paint work, no nothing. So it's spotless. Number two, nine out of six GT3. Love them to death. There's like like cars that scream, you know, real loud reverbs and whatnot. Number three, split bumper Camaro. Trying to find. If you got one, I would say, if you got a split bumper Camaro, send me a message, cause I really want one. Just make sure it's not completely rustic. I just want to build the motor and put it in. All right, but I need another. I just dropped it off at the interior shop today. I'm looking for one for sure. Okay. I know a few more. Number four, 2021 GT500. That's a bad car. Word. Ooh, that thing nasty. Ooh, you got to get your hands into one of those. Those things is nasty. I love them. And number five, like Mercilago. I always wanted to kind of like being like that. He's the Mercilago Diablo. It's really between the two cause I haven't driven either one. Yeah. So I just kind of want to see what they like. That Diablo was the one that made every little boy want to fucking. Yeah. Man. Diablo is nasty. Just to go to the book fair and buy the posters of them bitches. I still got one too. Word. I got a post at the crew. Man, I want to find that company that used to make those car posters, man. This thing is crazy. They got so much of my money going through school. They do cars. I love that. Man, I love some fucking cars, man. I'm definitely going to have to pull up on the shopping. Should at least just shoot the breeze, man. I don't have no high ends yet. That ain't never, that ain't my bag. I like old school. Yeah, it's a stepping stone. I'm going to get one though. Just because now I know I got a reliable tech that I could bring it to. Yeah. I mean, I know how it is for your old school guys. I mean, y'all be having like some real money putting some old schools. I know how it is. You ain't got to like kick the bush with me. I know how it is. You got to be putting some real brands. But you're going to have to put me up on some game, man. Give me a nice sports car, man, over there in your lane. I build it right. I do the whole suspension and everything. Get a good chassis setup. And you get into it. You're like, man, this car is transformed from the first time I bought it. I'm trying to think. That's like, that's my niche right there. Like, transformer cars for people. Hey, man, why are those Porsche SUVs? Like, why is the resale value on them so low? Are they just shitting? Which one, the Macons or the Cayans? The Cayans. The Cayans? Ah, it's just because they make so many of them. That's it? And then it depends which version it is to. It's like, the base model, they're just not super desirable because they don't really have that much options. And Porsche is all about option codes. You can deck the hell out of a car. And they even have what they call an exclusive program, where they'll put leather on the air vents in the car. Or they'll put a custom size seal, whatever you want to do with Porsches. Literally, they're like Ferrari. You can do literally anything you can think of. But it depends on which version of the Cayans. I always tell people to get an S or better, that bare minimum, because you're just going to want that little bit oomph behind it. Turbo. Or the turbos. The turbos are nasty. They are? Yeah, you two are right. Man, that's a lot of power. It's scooting around. You're talking about, like, 6, 700 horsepower. On the V6? Or the V8 or 4.0 liters? Yeah. Ooh, man, that's a lot of... It kind of surprises you because it's this big old SUV. You think it weighs a lot, and it's just like, launches. Yeah. Like, it'll put you in the back of the seat. Hell, yeah. The Panamera turbos are the same way, too. Yeah, my boy Chico got one, and that shit's sick. Shout out to Chico, man. He ain't got the turbo. Turbo push, gang, man. That bitch is nasty. Black on black. Yeah, that's a nasty looking car. I love them, though. I just love the cars and the adrenaline, you know what I mean? But like I say, it comes with the people. The people is what's up with it. Who are some of the strangest people out here? The strangest? What's the nice ass wires, man? Man, I mean, I don't work on everything from, like, I remember I had, like, one guy was a defensive tackle man for, like, the Lions at one point. You don't like sports, man? You said a defensive tackle man. Really, defensive? What the fuck is a defensive tackle man? Defensive tackle, you know. Had to weigh in weighs, 9-11 turbo at the shop. Shout out to D-Wave, man. He's a real one. Stylish car, too, man. Where? Very nasty. It's a weight, like, on the side sill and everything's custom made. It's crazy car. I mean, like, I've had people that are just, like, your normal, regular day people. And I had people that were like, yeah, anything that's less than, like, 75 feet for a boat, it's not considered a yacht to me. Man, I'm about to buy a Porsche just so I can get there with a couple of heads. Like, it's the network of people you just deal with, because they're all of them. It's like Porsche Returns is, like, an enthusiast brand, you know what I'm saying? Let's get one jail in. Cat, what you got on it, man? I got one with him. Come on, though, he's all right. Man, we're fucking with it. We can find some. We got the tech. They don't have to be new. I got some for you. I got a couple cars for you when you're ready. Tell me what you like. I'll find it for you. Ain't no problem. Say no more. Just tell me, like, what I'm looking for. Give me a couple of options. Cat's trying to get the Grand National tune, man. And the Grand Natty. I love a Grand Natty. My boy got one, too. Only one? Well, he's got eight Grand Natty. Cat, we're going to bring up some business up there, man. Leave the back door open, man. A little sad, though. We ain't going to park our shit in the front, mix all the Porsche and shit. Back gate, huh? Shout it. Man, drop your social media, man, because we got a lot of. I was like, you will bring me the weirdest things. So I have kind of made my name as a point where I can kind of work on anything. I can fix any little problem you could think of. People, other shops, call me all the time because I can just figure out a car. Like, it's a puzzle to me, you know what I mean? Cat, we in there, bro. Fuck that. We got to keep our spot open. Drop your social media, man. So you can follow me. I'm going to follow you right now. Leo Go on Instagram. Leo Joe, LeoGo3 on Twitter and stuff. FormalSpeed, it's my IG for the shop. And, you know, I'm on socials. SimeonMessage, whatever. LeoGo3? So LeoGo, so L-E-O-G-O-U, it's my personal IG. And then FormalSpeed, it's the shop's one. We in there. We got to get some Wi-Fi around this joint. What else you want to tell them before we wrap this up, G? Anything else I want to tell them? What's your availability, man? People going to want to know when they can bring their shit. What's the wait time right now? Availability. Wait time? Kind of like two-month wait, really, for engine bills and stuff. We work on this. And Leo? Shit. Hey, man. I was hoping you was like, shit, we got a little spot open right now. So I'm all about perfection. If I give it back to you, it's got to be perfect. I don't want to. I'm not going to BS nobody by anything. You bring me something, it's going to give it back to you the way I tell you. So right around the end of February, we can start flooding with that shit. I mean, my racing season starts back up in January. So be a little mindful of my schedule. It gets a little hectic round then, too. Really, just bring the shit in April to end, man. Just sit it in. It don't really matter. Y'all don't want you. Just send y'all shit after me and Kat. Send that shit, though, man. Just tell me what you got. I got you. We'll figure it out. Because Kat got a convertible. Volkswagen, he want to pour your engine in it. Oh, yeah. Been done before. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, look, man, I guess we found us a new spot to go take our cars to, Kat. What you think? Hey, man, well, there you have it. The black market is still up there. One more speed shot. Keep that shit real player.
