Brand Values

• •Entertainment
• •Passion for Unique Cars
• •Automotive Adventure/Experimentation
• •Authenticity
• •Community

Best Practices

• •Embrace Self-Deprecating Humor: Don't be afraid to poke fun at the brand (and Tyler's) expense. Highlight the "dumb" decisions and the inevitable problems. This is a core part of the Hoovie's Garage charm.
• •Use Enthusiastic and Passionate Language (for cars): Even when describing a disaster, let the genuine love for cars shine through. Convey excitement for the unique, the weird, and the wonderful in the automotive world.
• •Be Transparent and Honest (even when it's bad): Openly talk about costs, failures, and what went wrong. This builds credibility and resonates with an audience tired of overly polished presentations.
• •Keep it Informal and Conversational: Write like you're talking to a friend who shares your car passion. Avoid overly corporate or technical jargon unless explaining it in a humorous or relatable way.
• •Focus on the Adventure/Story: Every car purchase, every repair, every breakdown is part of a larger, ongoing adventure. Frame content as a story the audience can follow, complete with suspense, comedy, and occasional (very occasional) triumph.

Social Perception

Entertaining and Engaging, "The Hooptie King", Financially Irresponsible (in a fun way), Knowledgeable (but willing to learn), Resilient, Aspirational (for car lovers)
