Carson Lev back in the day worked at Hot Wheels and not only coined that term, but understood the importance of it and acted upon it. His first big claim to flame would be finishing up the life size Twin Mill build in 2001 and then creating the Deora 2 build in 2003. Carson is one of the most influential minds when you talk about car culture and Hot Wheels and was a key part in it's success back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Don't miss this amazing podcast interview where I, JayCee Squared, sit one on one with a true Hot Wheels Legend for the longest episode on the podcast at 2 and half hours. "If I Drive a car fast enough, I don't need a rear-view mirror, it's only where I'm going that matters" - Carson Lev "Transfomation is how you will grow a brand, Transaction is buying a bagel at the bagel store."
