Tony's Cars
Tony's car is currently a blue Pontiac Montana van.[1] The exact year of the van is unknown, but it is undoubtedly several years old. Tony often records his rant videos from this vehicle while driving, and at other times, he films himself singing along to his car radio. He has claimed that he is entitled to limousines that his parents once owned, but he has yet to receive these.[2] While some may question whether Tony is mentally fit to drive, he does have a valid Indiana driver's license, and at one point, he even held an Indiana CDL. However, Tony failed to renew his CDL after flunking a CDL refresher course when the Satellite Man interfered with his power steering.
Maintenance
As Tony's car is fairly old, it is prone to frequent breakdowns. Remarkably, Tony has a decent understanding of vehicle maintenance and is able to change his car's oil, alternator, brake pads, and serpentine belt, among other things when necessary.
In August 2021, Tony encountered an issue where his car's battery light continued to stay on despite several attempts at changing his starter and alternator. He documented this in a series of videos.[3][4][5]
In January 2023, the van began leaking fluids. Tony posted videos documenting his attempts at repairing the leak, which he initially believed to be from a faulty radiator hose.[6] However, it turned out to be power steering fluid, as stated by Tony in the comment section of one of these videos.[7]
On October 22, 2024, Tony's Montana van caught fire in his driveway, which was captured on film by his home camera.[8] Although Tony exclaimed "call the fire department," he reported in a subsequent video that he put out the car fire himself with Coca-Cola.[9] Tony's Montana van is currently broken down, and it is unknown if he will be able to fix it.
Vandalism and Alleged Sabotage
There have been at least two incidents in which Tony's car has been vandalized.[10][11] In both cases, a window was smashed—the back window and the right rear window. It is not known whether the vandals involved were trolls or simply ordinary criminals. Tony has yet to properly repair either of the windows and has covered the back window with plastic wrapping. He has claimed that the identity of the vandals has been covered up by local police and federal government agencies and believes they may be tied to the Satellite Man.[12]
Vanity Plate
Tony has purchased a vanity plate for his Pontiac Montana, which reads "BALETS." This is likely a reference to his fondness for ballet and rhythmic gymnastics or a reference to his Ballet Pizza company. Interestingly, his license plate is one of the Indiana BMV's "specialty" license plates, which commemorates Indiana public media and Indianapolis's NPR radio station WFYI.[13]
Allegations of Government Sabotage
Tony has frequently alleged that his car troubles are the result of intentional sabotage by government entities or individuals he refers to as the Satellite Man. In his videos, he often describes incidents where he believes his vehicle has been tampered with or damaged as part of a broader conspiracy against him.
In one of his videos, Tony stated:
| “ | Those government people broke down my vehicle and caught it on fire even when I had my ballet license plate on there. You know that, right? It's more violations against government and them attacking somebody in the ballet industry and fine arts. | „ |
On October 23, 2024, Tony uploaded a video titled "20241023-crimes of government and fatal attraction crimes and 7 deadly sins," in which he elaborated on his belief that the fire and other damages to his vehicle are part of deliberate attempts by government agents to harm him.[14] He attributes these incidents to what he describes as "fatal attraction crimes" and the "seven deadly sins," suggesting motives of jealousy and malice behind the alleged sabotage.
He has expressed frustration over what he perceives as a lack of action from authorities regarding these incidents and claims that he has not received any assistance or communication about obtaining a new vehicle. Tony has mentioned that he believes various rights organizations, such as the human rights office or women's rights groups, could have helped him acquire a vehicle:
| “ | I haven't received any phone calls or any emails or any text messages about anybody telling me what car dealership I could go to. Because my human rights are being violated. The human rights office could have bought me a vehicle. And it would have been a write-off. Or the women's rights or the lesbian rights association. I haven't received nothing, no letters, no emails, or text messages at all. | „ |
He attributes his vehicle problems to the actions of the "satellite man" and government agents who he claims are targeting him. Tony believes these actions are part of a broader pattern of harassment and attempts on his life, which he associates with jealousy, hate crimes, and "fatal attraction" crimes. He has also mentioned physical attacks, stating:
| “ | And that satellite man's been hitting me in the throat. And they've been hitting me in the nose, too. | „ |
Tony often mentions that the "satellite man" is attacking him physically, causing harm to his teeth and body.
