[6:50] Uh,
[6:52] join
[6:54] me live for the end of
[7:02] my
[7:06] 4Runner
[7:08] auction and paste. There it
[7:12] is. And then if I'm
[7:15] smart, select it all. Copy it. Post. And
[7:19] we'll do that again
[7:22] for Twitter and Instagram. Although
[7:24] probably with Instagram maybe we'll just
[7:26] use a live video with that or excuse me,
[7:28] Tik Tok. Best of luck, Mr. Regular. Do
[7:29] you ever plan on doing another
[7:31] motorcycle review? Yes. In fact, I'm
[7:33] finishing it today. Uh the video that's
[7:36] going to come out on Monday is a
[7:39] motorcycle. We're returning to
[7:40] motorcycles. The motorcycle in question
[7:42] is a
[7:44] 1991 Honda
[7:47] CB750 that has been turned into a cafe
[7:51] racer. I have wanted a cafe racer since
[7:54] I started riding motorcycles. And I talk
[7:56] about a little bit about this in the
[7:59] video. Um, I started riding motorcycles
[8:02] in 19
[8:03] No, well, okay. My very first bike was a
[8:06] little scooter that I bought against my
[8:08] parents wishes with no title. It was a
[8:10] Yamaha Champ, I think it was also called
[8:12] the
[8:16] Chappie. And it that was back in the
[8:21] year
[8:22] 2000. And then in 2007, I bought my very
[8:26] first motorcycle, also against my
[8:27] parents wishes, but I wasn't living at
[8:29] home at the time. So that was a Honda
[8:31] CM250C. And around that time is when
[8:33] Cafe Racers started coming out. and uh
[8:36] were sort of the silver age of cafe
[8:38] racers especially in the United States
[8:40] and Canada and I really wanted one back
[8:43] then but then they were so cool and I
[8:45] think now we're in the bronze age in
[8:47] 2025 of cafe racers where they're no
[8:49] longer hip and they're returning to a
[8:53] style of like dirty street racers which
[8:55] I love because that was the original
[8:57] intent of a cafe racer. It was a
[8:59] standard or a cruiser that was turned
[9:00] into a race bike and they were nasty
[9:03] machines. So, the cafe racers that we
[9:06] have now are more in tune to what they
[9:08] originally were, a cheap way to go fast.
[9:12] And that's what I have uh down on my
[9:14] back porch right now. It's red and white
[9:16] with the checkerboard pattern on it with
[9:18] dropped bars and the race seat. Oh, it's
[9:22] fantastic. I'm in I'm in riding it
[9:24] almost every day when the weather's
[9:26] good. Uh Val Cat says, "Any plans for
[9:29] another meetup and car show?" Probably
[9:31] at Fidelia. Yeah.
[9:35] We've gotten too big for um too many
[9:38] games, so there won't be a car meet
[9:40] there, but uh there will be uh something
[9:44] at
[9:45] Philadelphia. Um
[9:49] uh buy my Jeep. When's the VFR review?
[9:52] Oh, I'd love to get my hands on a VFR.
[9:54] Um
[9:56] uh the Lion King says, "Bring it out."
[9:58] Not sure what that means. It's all about
[9:59] the adventure bikes. Yeah, I I see a lot
[10:01] of people with money still doing the BMW
[10:03] thing. Triumph also has one as well. Is
[10:06] that the Triumph Tiger? Uh Eric Bernard
[10:08] says, "Where is PA? Are you? I'm located
[10:11] in Sailorsburg." I'm in the Philly
[10:12] suburbs now. So that's where I am. Oh,
[10:17] and I need to go
[10:19] [Music]
[10:21] to
[10:22] [Music]
[10:23] Twitter X. Uh Matt, thank you for the
[10:27] donation. Says, "Are you the big lot?"
[10:29] No, I'm not the big lot. I'm not. I did
[10:32] talk to him on the phone one time. Great
[10:33] guy. If not, then they're heavily
[10:34] influenced by you. Yeah. Had to lay down
[10:37] from the clipins. I love that
[10:42] guy. Posting on
[10:52] X. Um, you're in the portaotti at the
[10:55] north end of campus. Yep. Andy says,
[10:58] "Did you ever get to choose? Did you get
[11:00] to choose your persona and how long how
[11:02] did it end up being a bird?" So, remote
[11:04] here
[11:06] is a tribute to the people who got me uh
[11:10] back into the fandom after a long ways
[11:14] who uh whose characters are also birds.
[11:17] It's uh my friend uh who's an artist
[11:20] named Pulsar who also designed the RCR
[11:22] logo you see here.
[11:25] And uh another content creator, Adler
[11:29] the Eagle. You may know him.
[11:32] And who was the
[11:35] third? Who was the third person who also
[11:37] had
[11:38] [Music]
[11:41] a Maybe it was just those two. There had
[11:45] to be a
[11:47] third. Can't remember.
[11:52] Anyway, so I made a bird uh costume
[11:56] that's sort of a
[11:59] uh a tribute to them. I have no
[12:03] emotional attachment to Remote as a
[12:05] character. I see him simply as a as some
[12:08] people are very attached to to their uh
[12:10] personas that they make, but to me it's
[12:12] just a role that I play. Um uh remote is
[12:16] finance bird or uh
[12:20] um since since it's a blank character uh
[12:23] you can dress him up any way you like
[12:25] and sort of change his look. Um dang,
[12:27] I'm friends with Pulsar. You know his
[12:29] stuff. Yeah, he's a great guy. Also big
[12:31] into
[12:32] motorcycles. His bikes have been on RCR
[12:34] before.
[12:39] Um, uh, drove through Pennsylvania for
[12:41] the first time recently. Was suddenly
[12:43] very obvious and amazing how it would
[12:45] be, uh, uh, it would be like to drive a
[12:47] Miata. Yeah, a Miata in rural
[12:48] Pennsylvania is fantastic. How do we
[12:50] submit for a regular review? I have a
[12:52] you have a Lucid Air. Holy [ __ ] You
[12:54] live in Delaware, uh, but from Bucks
[12:56] County? Yeah. Uh, send me a DM just on
[12:58] on Instagram is honestly the best way.
[13:01] Send me a DM on Instagram. Regular car
[13:02] reviews on Instagram. And if you don't
[13:04] have Instagram, uh, just
[13:06] regularcars@gmail.com. Send me an email
[13:08] that way because we never I I see Lucid
[13:10] Airs. They're super weird. They're big.
[13:13] They're big. I like them from a
[13:15] distance, but I'd love to get my hands
[13:16] on
[13:18] one. Chris, if you're able, like, please
[13:21] do that now. We'll we'll talk after this

[13:38] $13,000. Uh, Christopher says, "You're
[13:40] doing it now." Thank
[13:42] you. I should go to
[13:45] Instagram and do a live on

[18:22] the
[18:29] [Music]
[18:32] auction. Share. Okay. Uh, didn't RCR
[18:36] review a
[18:38] lot? Did we do a lot? We did a Yugo and
[18:41] we did What did we do in Seattle? We did
[18:44] something.
[18:46] Am I like overexposed? I feel like I'm
[18:49] overexposed.
[19:19] there. Think the light I I need like
[19:21] it's weird like I have lighting there. I
[19:23] think I need like another studio light
[19:24] like right
[19:25] here. Uh when is RCR coming to Namibia?
[19:29] I don't know, man.
[19:31] Um, will RCR re review my sourdough?
[19:35] Like sourdough
[19:37] bread? Uh, Angry Shoe Box says,
[19:40] "Forrunner looks great. No peeling, no
[19:41] clear coat, no brake dust. Wheels
[19:43] usually see." Yeah. Well, thank you.
[19:45] That makes me feel happy. Current bid is
[19:47] still
[19:51] $13,000. That eagle is the most unique
[19:53] persona I've ever seen. I think you need
[19:55] an AMC.
[19:56] Oh, like that'd be funny. Just to get
[20:00] like an AMC tank top and wear it over
[20:02] it. You could do
[20:03] that. Um, if people would get that, you
[20:07] know, some people would probably see the
[20:08] AMC logo and they're like, "What? AMC
[20:11] theaters." Mike Maverick says, "I'm a
[20:13] bird and I want you to drive a reliable
[20:15] car, not a Dodge Nitro." Yeah. GH. Um,
[20:19] Matt says, "You have a following in
[20:21] Bangladesh." Funny enough. Really?
[20:23] Bangladesh? I'm flattered to hear that.
[20:26] Anyway, Darn says, "Third gen, best
[20:29] gen." Of course, it is. 19 minutes to
[20:32] go. People are hanging back on this
[20:34] auction. Uh, no one in the last uh
[20:37] moments are actually bidding on it, but
[20:40] you know, it all comes all comes down to
[20:42] the last 10
[20:43] minutes. How much would you hope to get
[20:46] out of the 4ERunner? I'd hope to get my
[20:48] money back, but again, I bought this
[20:50] car. I'll tell you how much I bought it
[20:52] for after the auction close.
[20:55] But I bought that a I bought the car in
[20:59] 2021, which is at the height of the
[21:01] pandemic, at the height of the over um
[21:04] the overpriceness of uh of used
[21:09] cars. But when I needed a new camera car
[21:11] and I knew I wanted a 4erunner and I
[21:14] knew I wanted a third gen because it
[21:15] would fit in my garage. And then I saw
[21:18] this one. When I bought it, it had
[21:19] 75,000 miles on it, man. So, it was
[21:22] nice. It was a really nice
[21:25] car. Uh, Proigan Porman says, "Where
[21:28] near Philly did you move?" I'm in
[21:30] southern Montgomery
[21:31] County. I'm not going to tell you my
[21:35] town but
[21:39] um, who and yeah, he hide the pandemic
[21:42] and Overlanding. Yeah, it it was it was
[21:44] a lot. We'll see how close it gets to
[21:47] that. And if and if it surpasses it,
[21:49] hey, fantastic. And if not, well, the
[21:51] truck the truck or SUV, whatever you
[21:53] want to call it, it made its
[21:54] money and uh I just don't drive it
[21:57] anymore. So, regulars should come to
[22:00] Northern Europe and drive some of the
[22:02] 90s runabouts that we have lying around
[22:03] here. Old Audi's, Astros, Vectors, old
[22:05] pat, old Ford Galaxies. Yeah, the Ford
[22:08] Galaxy minivan. I remember seeing like
[22:10] one or two of them in the
[22:14] UK. Which countries don't have a car
[22:16] culture? It's a good question. I mean,
[22:19] people like cars
[22:22] everywhere. Oh [ __ ] Amler cars and
[22:25] coffee has to be damn near home for you.
[22:27] Amler, little Amler has cars and coffee.
[22:29] I recognize Amler from uh the
[22:32] landline. When I say landline, I don't
[22:34] mean internet. That is the Lansdale
[22:36] Doorstown line that I take into the
[22:38] city. And by city, I mean
[22:41] Philly. What? Uh something something.
[22:44] For a couple grand more, you could
[22:46] almost get a new Hilux Champ with a a
[22:48] street food kitchen.
[22:50] Nice. Amler cars show was in May. Ah,
[22:54] okay.
[22:58] Uh oh, Mat with a uh super chat. Thank
[23:01] you so much. You should go to Katie's
[23:03] Cars and Coffee near DC. I've been to
[23:04] Katie's Cars and Coffee uh in before
[23:07] times. Uh I liked it. lot of lot of
[23:10] pricey stuff there and uh a lot of
[23:12] people. The thing I remember most about
[23:15] Katie's Cars and Coffee was there was
[23:18] this one guy making content. He was
[23:20] filming. He was using his
[23:22] phone. No, wait. I'm thinking of
[23:25] something else, but it's still Katie's
[23:26] Cars and Coffee. Um, at K's Cars and
[23:28] Coffee, someone wrote rode up there with
[23:31] a Ferrari F40
[23:34] EO and there was like a line of people
[23:39] waiting to pose and do this in front of
[23:42] it.
[23:47] Gosh, I remember someone posting a
[23:49] picture at the New York Auto Show next
[23:52] to a
[23:53] Rolls-Royce, but they were just there
[23:55] with their phone and poof, this bottle
[23:58] is a champagne flute. They got a
[23:59] champagne flute and just posted a
[24:02] picture of the champagne flute in front
[24:04] of the the flying lady on the
[24:06] Rolls-Royce. And I'm like, I'll bet you
[24:10] have I'll bet you're so not funny. I'll
[24:13] bet you're a boring guy at every party
[24:15] if you're gonna do
[24:16] that.
[24:19] Um, 80s and Morris says, "Hello from
[24:21] Athens Greece."
[24:24] Hello. Uh, can agree on overpaying for
[24:26] pretty much uh historic
[24:29] cars.
[24:30] Um, I bought two, one in 2021, one in
[24:33] 22. 10,000 for each dealership. At least
[24:36] there was a Crown Vic and a Sienna. Both
[24:38] around 70,000 miles. Cool.
[24:41] Uh, Ivan Ivan 2 says, "I grew up in
[24:43] rougher areas of the United States, but
[24:45] whenever I see fancy vehicles, it just
[24:47] seems like an invitation to get
[24:48] carjacked. When you drive nice vehicles,
[24:50] do you worry about the attention they
[24:53] attract?" I've never had nice nice cars,
[24:57] like really aspirational
[25:01] vehicles. Maybe my crazy
[25:05] taxi. I mean, the most expensive vehicle
[25:08] I own is my Kia, but that's just because
[25:10] I bought it new. So, and that's just a
[25:13] Kia.
[25:16] So, and the flashiest thing I ever
[25:19] had, the flashiest thing I have is
[25:22] probably Crazy Taxi, but that's not
[25:26] something I mean, it attracts a lot of
[25:28] attention, but it's never really
[25:29] attracted negative attention or or or
[25:31] jealousy.
[25:35] Um, I suppose the most Let me answer
[25:38] this. Super chat says, "Dave, the Primis
[25:40] Plangler freaking rules." You mean the
[25:42] Primly Plymouth Prowler? The Plymouth
[25:46] Prangler. I' How funny would that be if
[25:48] there was a real car called the Prim
[25:50] Plymouth
[25:51] Prangler? Um, what are you currently
[25:54] driving most as of
[25:56] late? Um, my Honda today. I don't drive
[26:01] it every day, but it's such a good car
[26:03] for Philadelphia. It It's I did an
[26:06] airport run in it. Now, I don't drive
[26:08] the Today every day, you know, it's a
[26:10] tongue twister. Prefer that car. Let's
[26:12] just call it the JA4. I don't drive the
[26:14] JA4 every single day, but um I mean, I
[26:18] still drive my Kia all the time. I mean,
[26:20] that's just the daily, you know, you
[26:22] plug in the car and it goes. Um, another
[26:24] super chat. Michael Rosenberg. I was
[26:26] supposed to answer some other question.
[26:27] Uh, Eric Buell is gonna be the host of
[26:29] Honor at Radner Hunt Club in September.
[26:32] Do you ever go to an event like that? I
[26:33] don't really go to car show events
[26:36] because I'm spoiled and I like to drive
[26:41] cars. Standing around them and talking
[26:43] about
[26:49] them. I'm not a big firearm guy, but
[26:53] it's sort of
[26:55] like imagine going to a range and
[26:58] watching other people practice
[27:00] marksmanship, but you just get to sit on
[27:02] the bench and watch with earplugs
[27:06] in. That's what a car show feels like to
[27:08] me.
[27:17] Um, Eric, if a Prangler came up on Cars
[27:19] and Biz, I would buy buy it immediately.
[27:21] Nice. Um, Prowler meets Jeep Wrangler.
[27:24] The all newer. I like
[27:28] that. Um, Honda every other day. Hey
[27:32] there, Birdhead. Yes, Remote is here
[27:35] being a
[27:36] co-host. We are at 12 minutes 47
[27:40] seconds.
[27:41] So far, we did someone uh the new high
[27:45] bidder. It is now at
[27:49] $13,100 with uh 12 minutes 36 seconds
[27:53] left. The firing range cucks share
[27:56] event. Exactly. Yeah.
[28:02] There's always the one little kid at the
[28:04] uh at the at the range trying to hold
[28:08] the uh ear protection that are too big
[28:10] for his ears to the side of his head. He
[28:12] doesn't know why he's here. He can't do
[28:14] anything. He just has to sit there and
[28:16] be
[28:18] good. Uh pro wagon performances. Lots of
[28:21] Pennsylvania is depressing. Not wrong,
[28:23] but there's plenty of good and great car
[28:24] culture. Oh yeah, for sure.
[28:26] Yeah. I mean, the joke is outside
[28:29] outside of the major cities. It's all
[28:31] just
[28:33] uh you know a car show was just a
[28:36] million
[28:38] Corvettes. Andrew Oven says Allentown is
[28:40] my hometown. I would love to move back.
[28:43] Would you
[28:44] know? I'm thinking this a is that my
[28:46] audio levels okay? I feel like it could
[28:49] be a little louder. What do you think? I
[28:51] don't want to have too much audio hiss
[28:53] coming through the ATM, but what do you
[28:55] think? Based on the old cars and bids, I
[28:57] think 13,000 is pretty close to the
[28:59] price these days. Fingers crossed for
[29:00] 15.
[29:02] Yeah.
[29:04] Um, is he going to say how much he paid
[29:07] for it after how little he paid for it
[29:09] after it sells? Uh, I don't think I'm
[29:12] going to do that.
[29:14] Um, audio is lovely. Okay, I'm a little
[29:17] quiet. Okay, let me up this a little
[29:20] bit.
[29:32] There might be a little uh analog
[29:35] hiss. That was three taps on the
[29:39] ATM. Some hiss, but it's fine. Just eat
[29:42] the
[29:44] mic.
[29:46] H. This probably peaks it. This is
[29:49] probably way too much
[29:51] audio. Way too much gain. It's in the
[29:54] red. Yes. Very minimal hiss. That's
[29:58] better. Am I blowing out the mic by
[30:01] doing this? Peak content. Okay.
[30:05] Yeah. Yeah. Too loud. Okay. Down it
[30:19] goes. So there we go. This is pro. Well,
[30:21] this is almost pretty much what we had
[30:22] before.
[30:24] If I peak the Oh, I see. I see what's
[30:27] going on. The ATM is doing its own
[30:30] modulation.
[30:32] Interesting.
[30:35] Okay. Too much
[30:37] again.
[30:38] Yeah. Interesting. Interesting.
[30:41] Interesting. Volume is better.
[30:44] Okay. Em uh Ransom says, "Are you going
[30:47] to regret selling
[30:49] it?" Yep.
[30:53] I'm going to miss the
[30:54] 4Runner. I miss a lot of the cars I've
[30:57] had. I don't
[30:59] miss the
[31:01] Falcon. It
[31:04] was a big headache at the end because it
[31:07] had so many weird parts and when
[31:10] something went wrong, uh, you had to
[31:13] remember what type of part you put in
[31:15] there. I don't really I don't miss it.
[31:18] No, cuz I realized that that car was
[31:21] just too much modification for it to be
[31:23] a fun
[31:26] car. I
[31:28] miss Yeah, I miss my Honda
[31:33] Fit, but that started getting
[31:35] uncomfortable for long
[31:37] trips. I miss
[31:40] my Subaru Forester. That thing was
[31:44] everything. It did everything great
[31:45] except for gas miles, but that thing
[31:47] just sort of rusted
[31:49] away. Uh, I missed my MR2 a lot, but
[31:53] also I didn't drive it because it was
[31:55] too nice. I was afraid of uh getting it
[31:59] banged up and also intimidated
[32:04] by Is the audio synced on
[32:12] this? Are we synced?
[32:14] Or is this not
[32:18] synced? Let me know if this is
[32:21] this I'm watching
[32:24] my levels and I'm not sure if this is
[32:27] it's close enough.
[32:29] Okay. All
[32:37] right. Not very sing. Anyway, now great.
[32:40] Your hair off. Great.
[32:44] Wonderful. Um, off by about a quarter of
[32:47] a second. That's That's a ton. I'm so
[32:50] sorry. Video is slightly ahead, which
[32:52] means audio is lagging
[32:56] behind. So, we have two different
[33:00] sources. We
[33:10] have so the video coming out of the
[33:13] camera. Well, we're going to use
[33:15] different cameras eventually. Maybe
[33:16] that'll fix the sinking problem. I don't
[33:19] know. Uh, what are you going to replace
[33:22] the 4ERunner with?
[33:24] Nothing. No, I'm thinning the herd. I
[33:28] want to get down to two cars. Right now,
[33:30] I have four. I have the 4ERunner.
[33:33] 4Erunner right there. I have my daily,
[33:37] which is the Kia. I have the other
[33:39] daily, which is the which is the Honda
[33:42] today. And then I have the fun car, the
[33:44] crazy taxi, even though the the the
[33:46] Honda today is also the fun car.
[33:49] So, this we use the Kia now as the
[33:52] camera car. So the old camera car that
[33:56] just
[33:57] sits and it's not financially wise to
[34:00] hang on to it.
[34:02] So says do not sell the taxi. No, it's
[34:04] going to be a long time before I sell
[34:08] crazy taxi. That thing's a
[34:10] delight.
[34:14] Um and then the next thing to sell would
[34:17] be the uh Honda today.
[34:23] Um, I like it.
[34:25] It's if I feel like driving somewhere
[34:28] where I know I'm not going to get public
[34:29] charging, then I just drive the Honda
[34:31] today and it's fine. Um,
[34:35] and but eventually I'm not I'm not
[34:38] married to the Honda today because it
[34:40] was just sort of a yeah, I guess
[34:42] purchase. It's it's a lot of fun because
[34:44] I don't really care about the car that
[34:46] much. I just sort of shift it and drive
[34:48] it and I don't dole attention onto it.
[34:51] It's fun.
[34:54] Um, did you solely buy the 4Runner to be
[34:56] a camera car originally? Yes. And the
[34:59] reason it was because it has that
[35:00] rolling rear window that goes back down.
[35:03] And that was the original way we filmed
[35:05] stuff. We ratchet strapped a tripod. In
[35:07] fact, the camera that's filming us right
[35:09] now, the the Canon XA60 was our uh the
[35:13] camera that filmed the show.
[35:18] So,
[35:20] uh, we filmed out the back window down
[35:23] with the back window down. We got some
[35:26] nice depth of field. The one limitation
[35:29] was you couldn't really pull the car up
[35:32] next to the 4Runner. You were sort of
[35:34] limited to where it could because you
[35:36] had to keep the camera's field of view
[35:39] within the back
[35:41] window. And also Nick who operated the
[35:45] camera for the ro roll rolling shots. He
[35:48] had to just live with whatever weather
[35:50] was outside the car and also the wind
[35:53] that would come in. Nick and I couldn't
[35:55] talk to each other even though we were
[35:57] only a few feet away because all the
[35:59] noise that would come
[36:01] in. Once DJI came out with the Osmo 3
[36:04] Pocket, that thing you just vacuum cup
[36:07] to the outside of the car with a mount
[36:09] and that thing films backwards to the
[36:11] side. It tracks. Nick can be inside the
[36:14] car in the cold and he can be inside
[36:16] enjoying air conditioning in the hot.
[36:19] So, a $800 camera did the job of a
[36:23] $13,000
[36:25] SUV. So, why am I holding on to the
[36:29] car? Someone else deserves
[36:31] it. Um, yeah. Andy says, "We're down to
[36:35] the last four minutes. Let's see if
[36:36] there will be a bidding war in the last
[36:38] three." In fact, I should
[36:41] uh get on Tik Tok and tell people we're
[36:44] doing this
[36:53] here. Jake says, "Do you think that the
[36:56] mention that a car was reviewed and
[36:57] owned by RCR has a noticeable effect on
[37:00] cars and brid's auction price?"
[37:04] If it's I think so because if it's
[37:07] enough that the people at Cars and Bids
[37:11] will mention
[37:12] that it has it's it's a nonzero
[37:17] percentage and I think
[37:19] uh I think that's fair to say. I think
[37:22] it's making a difference in a positive
[37:24] way, but we don't know uh how much
[38:01] Okay, we're uh telling Tik Tok to get in
[38:05] here. Will you review some Jaguar XJS
[38:08] like the 1994 1998 X3? I think we did
[38:12] like a million years ago.
[38:15] Ian says, "Once the car is sold, will
[38:16] you tell much how much you originally
[38:18] bought it for?" Yes, I
[38:21] will. So, we're I'm filming Tik Tok now.
[38:25] So, Tik Tok, you um I'm just filming the
[38:28] chat. So, so the chat itself is live on
[38:30] Tik Tok. Um when this is over, find the
[38:34] best uh car for that amount on cars and
[38:36] bids. Well, I'm being responsible with
[38:39] the money that this auction uh will
[38:41] bring. It's all going to get thrown at
[38:43] the principle of my mortgage because
[38:44] that's a responsible thing to
[38:47] do. Hello Tik Tok. Yes, hello Tik Tok. A
[38:51] bunch of people are joining on Tik Tok.
[38:54] Um, take a brown says Castanza. What you

[42:48] Okay. Well, it looks like I get to call
[42:50] a guy named Mild Chart. Shart for the
[42:54] win. Yep. Yeah. I hope it's not a joke
[42:57] account. Well, what happens is if
[43:00] someone welches on the
[43:03] auction, their credit card still gets
[43:05] pinged for the uh uh winning fee. So,
[43:11] it's they're not going to get pinged for
[43:12] like

[44:00] completing your sale shortly via email.
[44:02] Please let us know if you have Okay, so
[44:04] I don't have his uh his info right about
[44:07] now. Andy says, "Are you going to
[44:09] disclose the price now or after?" I
[44:11] will. I paid $16,000 for that. So, I am
[44:15] taking a loss of
[44:18] $3,000. So, I took a loss on it, but
[44:21] again, I bought this car at the height
[44:22] of the pandemic in 2021.
[44:25] So, I wasn't really expecting to make my
[44:29] money back, but you know, that's that
[44:31] car has produced more than $3,000 worth
[44:34] of content for me, so it's
[44:37] fair.
[44:39] Yep. Yeah. Ask him if he found this
[44:42] because of my YouTube channel.
[44:44] Yeah, 3,000 after five years of
[44:46] ownership. Not too
[44:50] bad. Brent R. State says, "I paid 16,000
[44:53] for mine as well."
[44:56] Yep. The reason I paid 16,000 is because
[44:59] that was the asking price at the little
[45:01] car dealership where I originally found
[45:02] this thing and I didn't feel like
[45:05] negotiating with him because I knew what
[45:06] it was and I knew I wanted it. And yeah,
[45:10] Steuart show says a $5,000 pre-
[45:12] pandemic. Don't you know that? Yep. How
[45:14] many miles did I put on it? Uh, what?
[45:18] 75
[45:21] 75 8 75
[45:25] 8593. So, I put
[45:27] on like 1,00 like I put on like 13,000
[45:31] miles in four
[45:34] years. It's the Castanza says, "Yeah,
[45:37] you're OG. You remember the Red Falcon
[45:38] on this channel?" Yep. the Vagabond
[45:41] Falcon. Money goes, but memories stay. I
[45:43] said it was worth it. Yep. All right.
[45:46] All right. That's our live stream. Thank
[45:48] you for watching. I'm going to go back
[45:51] to work and uh finish editing
[45:55] the Cafe Racer video because that needs
[45:58] to get done. and then possibly tomorrow
[46:02] uh record my narrative
[46:06] uh for the next the video after next
[46:08] which is we we got our hands on a Ford K
[46:11] or Ford CA the Ford KA someone imported
[46:15] one of those from the UK into the United
[46:17] States and we got to drive one because
[46:19] we missed it when we were in the UK we
[46:21] didn't get to get one like we did like
[46:24] and people were like yelling us when we
[46:25] did the UK trip like how could you come
[46:27] to the UK and not do a Ford car
[46:28] everybody remembers those things
[46:29] Everybody's driven on them like no one
[46:31] offered one. So, or maybe someone did or
[46:34] we couldn't fit it into our schedule,
[46:35] but now we got one and it's even fun
[46:37] funner to drive one in the United
[46:39] States. All right, guys. Have a great
[46:41] day. Thank you for watching. Thanks for
[46:42] liking RCR. Bye.
