[00:31] dizzy man I'm in like right in

[00:34] projectile vomit range you that I just

[00:39] sprinkler go the other way recalibrate

[00:42] your equilibrium there this is cars and

[00:45] bids podcast or video

[00:47] live and uh we have hooie today hovie

[00:50] tell us hello I have a YouTube channel

[00:52] called hoovies garage how many Subs you

[00:55] got now

[00:56] 1.54 million how many monthly views you

[00:59] get I don't know four four to six

[01:02] million views a month yeah something

[01:04] like that four or six four to six

[01:06] usually depends on how much I post

[01:07] because I don't I used to post twice a

[01:09] week religiously like you I've gone down

[01:11] to about six a month so sometimes I

[01:13] don't post twice a week why because I

[01:15] feel like the videos need to be longer

[01:17] and have more in it to keep up with

[01:19] today's you know watch time longer

[01:20] videos seem to do better so where I used

[01:23] to be able to do like the buy and then

[01:25] everything that's wrong and then do

[01:26] something fun and then you know I have

[01:28] to sort of combine that if there's not

[01:29] enough meat do you are you doing Tik

[01:32] Tock no are you on the the Tik Tock

[01:35] there with all the young kids no you're

[01:38] not doing Tic Tac you're not doing are

[01:39] you doing YouTube shorts it's not

[01:40] because I'm worried about someone is the

[01:42] Chinese getting my stuff it's just

[01:44] because I don't understand it I guess

[01:45] I'm old are you doing YouTube shorts uh

[01:48] I've done a few shorts but no I haven't

[01:51] no what is happening here I I don't know

[01:55] what is going on they're trying not to

[01:57] show that is my brain weak or no signal

[02:00] check your input connection all right

[02:01] there we go it was so good before that's

[02:04] the sad part right huh um so you're not

[02:07] doing any of that no is that bad yeah I

[02:10] think that I think that they promote you

[02:12] more if you do the shorts because they

[02:14] want people to do shorts so badly that

[02:16] they they push you up they're desperate

[02:17] because of the Tik Tok yeah well how are

[02:19] your views nowadays they're fine yeah I

[02:22] mean still month by month yeah you you

[02:25] just sort of run out of like the really

[02:27] crazy cars like the F40 you do the F40

[02:30] and you're done if there were more then

[02:31] you would get 10 million view videos

[02:33] there was a time when I got more views

[02:35] but I think that's true for most of us

[02:37] based on what I'm saying yeah I think

[02:39] that Tik Tok has come and really pulled

[02:41] away some audience and I think YouTube

[02:44] is desperate to try to catch up right

[02:47] with shorts which has not been as

[02:48] successful it's certainly not as

[02:50] successful for creators and the other

[02:51] real issue is that shorts is not easy to

[02:57] monetize have you no the screen is not

[02:59] easy to get work apparently either but

[03:01] uh there's some sort of issue with our

[03:03] production we Have No what's no idea

[03:04] what's going on I I suppose you're right

[03:06] but and when you get a hot new car you

[03:09] still blow up the internet when you do

[03:12] your your cars and business I always

[03:14] love the older weirder stuff and I'd

[03:16] watch those a lot more but I was in the

[03:17] minority with that stuff and you would

[03:18] sort of shy away from it before cars in

[03:20] business because you're like oh no I'm

[03:21] not going to get the views with this car

[03:22] but now you're sort of free because it's

[03:24] also a promotional tool for cars and

[03:26] this is I think what people don't

[03:27] understand I got complaints for so long

[03:28] you don't do enough weird cars you don't

[03:30] do enough quirky cars you don't stupid

[03:31] cars and now I'm able to do them all

[03:33] because we run them on the site but now

[03:35] people are like you're just promoting

[03:36] the it's like well no win you can't on

[03:39] the internet there's none even when I

[03:41] remember you used to complain that I

[03:43] spoke too slowly so I started speaking

[03:44] faster you know about the Genesis of

[03:45] this and so and so then yeah you made

[03:48] fun of me in all these videos are you

[03:49] speaking too slowly I I don't recall

[03:53] ever doing that are you confusing me

[03:54] with someone

[03:55] else I don't even know what the problem

[03:57] is it seems fine to me yeah it'll fix it

[03:59] mhm god um and so I started speaking

[04:02] faster and then I started getting

[04:03] complaints I was trying to fast so then

[04:05] I started slowing it down again and got

[04:07] more complaints that I was trying to do

[04:08] slow even though there's like a 1.25x

[04:10] and stuff I I think I made fun of you

[04:12] for over enunciating some things but but

[04:15] it was funny I like in a in a not like

[04:17] stop doing it but in a you know you

[04:19] thought it was funny but it still haunts

[04:20] me to this day I'm sorry I'm sorry what

[04:24] is the issue kipo give us give usup give

[04:27] us a tech update here kipo what's going

[04:30] we go to the screen for the live show

[04:31] viewers that has that's having some

[04:33] issues that I supect connection related

[04:36] so don't go to the screen just say here

[04:38] this is fine right instead of instead of

[04:40] running through the live show for the

[04:43] last 40

[04:44] minutes because yeah I know but we you

[04:48] you you it's impossible you have no idea

[04:50] how distracting is we're trying to have

[04:51] a conversation and he's out here blowing

[04:53] on the USB courus did you hear that like

[04:56] an old Nintendo like NES yeah I suppose

[04:58] now is a really good time mentioned that

[05:00] we will be taking a break from the L

[05:02] while we're going to be switching to

[05:03] podcast format this is our last live

[05:04] show for a little while we're going to

[05:06] start doing podcasts after this but

[05:07] because hooie is here can we click

[05:08] because that's I'm here 40 seconds

[05:11] there's bidding right now on my M6 H's

[05:13] M6 is Indianapolis red why do you they

[05:18] call it that I have no idea because they

[05:20] try to name all their like Special M

[05:22] colors after racetracks so Indian 500

[05:24] that's where from we learned something

[05:27] I'm happy to share the knowledge yeah

[05:29] Marina blue

[05:30] yeah yes Marina Circuit of course right

[05:33] Imola I went to Y Marina Dakar water I

[05:37] didn't see water that

[05:38] blue saw a lot of human rights

[05:40] violations I knew that's exactly where

[05:42] you were going to go with it okay all

[05:44] right what do you got here they've got a

[05:45] battle here going on so I bought this

[05:48] car with the intention of doing a

[05:49] six-speed manual swap on it and um when

[05:53] I got the wrong car I actually bought it

[05:55] on cars and bids a 645 or 650 thinking

[05:59] that was the right transmission it was

[06:00] the wrong transmission I was supposed to

[06:01] get an

[06:03] M3 first but my my friend is also like

[06:06] the national expert on the conversions

[06:08] and so like his friend is like the lead

[06:10] he he's converted like 50 SMG m5s to it

[06:13] was fine I was reluctant to do it anyway

[06:15] I was scared like I once I got the car

[06:17] and realized like this thing is such a

[06:20] museum piece even though it is an SMG

[06:22] but it's 20,000 miles and the color of

[06:24] the spec and everything I felt terrible

[06:25] about doing it and then I it was just I

[06:27] took it as like a sign I was like okay

[06:29] I'm not meant to do this I'm not meant

[06:32] to do the swap and so I left it alone

[06:35] and enjoyed it for a bit and bidding is

[06:37] strong it is going yes yes I think it is

[06:41] uh on the low well so it's a few grand

[06:44] less than what I paid for it at this

[06:45] point but uh when did you buy it last

[06:47] year um yeah quite a year I've had it

[06:50] the market has changed

[06:52] mhm yes the market has changed I

[06:55] remember here's a hooie story I remember

[06:58] back when I was younger

[07:00] two years ago three years ago you had

[07:02] all these cars and I thought you were

[07:03] insane for spending all your money on

[07:05] cars and I remember you every dime I had

[07:06] in debt and more it was laughable I mean

[07:08] every year you'd be like I can't pay my

[07:10] taxes because you'd bought spend all

[07:11] your money cars and then there was a

[07:14] year where you looked like an absolute

[07:15] genius because every car you remember

[07:17] this of course he was holding when when

[07:19] the pandemic happened and car value shot

[07:21] up he was

[07:22] Holdings a k and Dia and suddenly he had

[07:26] like quadrupled his money he and

[07:28] stradman looked like they were the smart

[07:29] people in the room MH but things have

[07:31] changed a little since then except the

[07:34] Kos except the K that keeps going that's

[07:37] what did you pay for that that is the

[07:38] deal I will never be able to replicate

[07:40] ever because I bought the Diablo and the

[07:42] coou at the same time from the same

[07:43] person it was every di I had shaken

[07:45] myself upside down for $250,000 for both

[07:47] cars and he just wanted what he paid for

[07:49] them 8 10 years ago man and um he had

[07:53] gotten into tank he'd opened a tank

[07:55] Museum this is a neurosurgeon a single

[07:56] guy and he has this big mansion that's

[07:58] on a dirt road he two countes a test

[08:00] Rose every time he got depressed he

[08:02] would buy an old exotic car but then he

[08:03] switched to buying tanks lost interest

[08:05] in the cars they sat forever like he had

[08:07] this beautiful mahogany bar you know all

[08:08] that stuff just full of reptiles and

[08:10] then like drawing because he was a

[08:12] surgeon you delicate H he was drawing

[08:14] action figures you know the Warhammer

[08:15] and stuff and like that was his chill

[08:17] out thing to do and that was his whole

[08:19] house decorated with it so I bought

[08:20] those like I needed to take the cars

[08:23] moment he said the price we make one

[08:24] full call this deal is going away I'm

[08:25] sure so I I took the cards got the check

[08:27] got the titles got them out was able to

[08:29] hang on to the Diablo for 6 eight months

[08:32] before like I I pay taxes like I'm

[08:34] barely in the yeah and sold that for

[08:37] just under 300 and so I have and I

[08:40] didn't spend more than 50 Grand fixing

[08:42] both cars so it was I have a free

[08:45] kage guys got a free free sitting over

[08:47] here with a free Co pretty so I couldn't

[08:50] be sad if this thing sells for $1,000

[08:52] because of that that deal will always

[08:54] make up for it right yeah what do you

[08:55] think that what are the particulars how

[08:57] many miles are on your your mine is 19

[08:59] 18,000 km about to go over 20 and it's

[09:01] an injected anniversary injected so like

[09:04] 13 14,000 miles right uh pearl white

[09:07] which is sort of unusual Bianca prata U

[09:09] which is beautiful in person scary to

[09:11] drive because any scratch on it I'm

[09:12] repainting the whole thing it would

[09:13] never match you know like the white

[09:15] diamond TR coat on Cadillac when they

[09:16] repay in a corner yeah so that's like a

[09:18] 400 car uh I've turned down from a guy

[09:22] who flips them 450 at this point should

[09:24] have taken that then no mean no like in

[09:28] the last month you should take

[09:29] no I want the car I'm keeping the car

[09:31] yeah yeah it's it's still going special

[09:34] yeah it's special do I have Curry right

[09:36] here no you're just that's just such an

[09:38] amazing what a beautiful thing okay

[09:42] sorry bding still going

[09:44] $28,000 so that's the thing tell us

[09:46] about here's what I want to know from

[09:48] you you put cars on our side all the

[09:49] time yes how does that what's it like

[09:53] the last minute are you nervous oh I

[09:56] mean early on I think the first one with

[09:58] the Phantom where was no Reserve with

[10:00] you know like that was the second big

[10:01] auction for you it's like is going to

[10:05] happen right we all wondered that as you

[10:07] risk a less expensive car your E63 wagon

[10:11] I I was I was a riskier well you could

[10:13] have put your Ford GT up there and

[10:14] really didn't did the thing I wanted it

[10:16] I still have it I know but um yeah mine

[10:19] was a little bit more expensive and I

[10:21] wondered what would happen and so it's

[10:23] sold for like 70 GS to some like

[10:26] influencers husband 69420 something like

[10:28] that yeah just like some influencer's

[10:30] husband in South Carolina and it worked

[10:32] out they bought that and they bought the

[10:34] db7 and when the db7 showed up I guess

[10:37] his wife was like what the heck like

[10:39] this needs to be now a onein one out

[10:41] policy right now because they live in

[10:43] South Carolina and they have the cars

[10:45] outside like a phantom sitting outside

[10:47] with two other Phantoms and stuff like

[10:49] really crazy and so he's like I've got

[10:51] this John CLA vanam Missour that this1

[10:53] aour that was owned by John Claud vanam

[10:55] and I need to get rid of it now it's

[10:57] hasn't hasn't moved in a while but it

[10:58] runs and drives for 25 Grand oh okay

[11:01] yeah like yes and that turned into

[11:03] that's how you bought that bought that I

[11:05] I mean spent probably five grand on it

[11:06] but then $

[11:08] 28,250 so um yeah that's I think that's

[11:12] good money yes that's that's I'm not

[11:13] that's good money for a pair I'm uh with

[11:15] shipping I'm I got to enjoy that car for

[11:17] free for almost a year so that's about

[11:19] purpose you didn't really drive it a

[11:20] whole lot so it didn't break all that

[11:22] much I don't no so it had the SMG p63 M6

[11:25] is here E63 this is the other E63

[11:29] the Lesser

[11:31] known okay so where we where are we

[11:33] selling these things how many click on I

[11:35] mean this your low miles in a cool color

[11:37] a manual for 27 I mean that's pretty

[11:40] good if it sticks for the same money 35

[11:42] 26 for

[11:44] 2 correct 35 is 26 yours is I suspect

[11:49] these cars will become like coveted

[11:52] someday they're relatively known

[11:54] especially the the manual ones obviously

[11:55] but like I it's just like was say

[11:57] shorter wheelbase M5 same engine it

[11:59] weighed I think 240 lbs less yeah but

[12:03] but it does look like a parrot it's

[12:04] uglier it does look like a parrot it has

[12:06] not aged as gracefully as the E60 have I

[12:08] don't think it's that bad and that so

[12:10] that's 21,000 Mi is still enough to be

[12:12] low enough to be a collector grade car

[12:13] with a cool spec so I think that's a

[12:15] good buy for someone to just put a

[12:18] thousand or two miles a year on it for

[12:20] 10 years and it's a special occasion car

[12:22] MH yep because you're just too afraid to

[12:25] use it and wear out those rod bearings

[12:26] and those throttle accur and all that

[12:28] well this one had yeah no rod bearings

[12:30] or the yeah the uh the vano stuff but

[12:33] the SMG pump had been replaced on this

[12:35] car just the fellow who bought this car

[12:37] also bought that Ferrari California from

[12:39] the other day H that was that was a buy

[12:42] wasn't it it was a crazy buy it was a

[12:45] $52,000 purchase of a Ferrari California

[12:48] yeah absolutely wild he's been on a ton

[12:50] of stuff but then he got that I mean

[12:52] that's a car may I don't know if if

[12:54] there's if you advertise it really high

[12:56] maybe one person's crazy you sit on for

[12:58] years but not no this is this is easier

[13:00] it's done immediately it's sold so yeah

[13:02] thank you well done good job good job

[13:04] guys there's two more H cars left today

[13:07] correct that we're selling which is in

[13:09] 15 minutes we have the million mile

[13:12] Ram which you just told me and it it

[13:14] really burst my bubble that because it

[13:16] is tmu it is not officially your highest

[13:19] mileage vehicle ever sold on cars on

[13:21] this Ram kenon so here's the deal all

[13:23] right we are we are very scrupulous

[13:25] unlike some people I'm not going to name

[13:28] names because I don't want bar hooie but

[13:29] we are very scrupulous and um so what

[13:33] happened was it hit a million miles the

[13:35] odometer stopped correct tmu if the

[13:40] odometer has stopped yes well it

[13:42] actually goes to 99,9 that's even more

[13:44] of and and it's funny cuz I took it to

[13:46] CarMax for an appraisal and they're like

[13:48] wow this truck has pretty low miles on

[13:50] it and I was like I need to tell them so

[13:53] I I did tell them that hey you know it

[13:55] turned over a million and that's that's

[13:57] where it resets to but then I I immed

[13:59] when it happened I reset the trip

[14:00] odometer to where it has 2,000 mil on it

[14:03] since so we know it's at a million two 1

[14:06] milliion 2,000 miles but I guess if the

[14:07] battery ever goes dead like that's what

[14:09] happened to Matt far's million mile

[14:10] Lexus like the battery went dead and the

[14:12] the trip odometer went away so we don't

[14:14] know how much over a million it is it's

[14:15] it with tvarish now that Lexus had a

[14:19] digital gauge cluster except for the

[14:21] odometer right the early ls's did but

[14:24] not that one not that one okay got it

[14:26] mhm um this truck has a million miles on

[14:29] it yes I mean come on three or four

[14:32] Transmissions original engine that's

[14:34] never been aart though it has a tune on

[14:36] it last year took it to the dyo 900

[14:38] pound feet of torque on the dyo with

[14:40] thaton on the Carfax let's see what's

[14:43] going it's the it's the what's the most

[14:45] Pages you've seen on a Carfax cuz this

[14:46] one I think is 27 W look how tiny the

[14:48] cursor is in the corner I think it's 27

[14:50] 28 pages of Carfax because they took it

[14:52] for maintenance a dealer like because

[14:54] there was some point where they were

[14:55] doing a th000 miles a day so so it's

[14:59] starts life in October of of 03 it's

[15:01] purchased it's purchased October 13

[15:04] within a month that already has 7,000

[15:06] miles right so they just were like we're

[15:07] just going to do it by the end of that

[15:09] year it had 23,000 miles correct oil

[15:12] field Hot Shot truck so you need parts

[15:14] really fast to get this oil pumping out

[15:16] of the ground they're

[15:17] paying dollars a mile to get it

[15:20] immediately put it in the truck and go

[15:22] and that's what this thing did isn't

[15:24] fast enough and I've done like both of

[15:26] us have done 1,000 miles in a day

[15:27] driving but imagine you're doing it

[15:29] every day this is your life me almost

[15:31] here's a 90day jump 30,000 yeah yeah

[15:34] exactly almost 10,000 miles a month wow

[15:38] holy crap here's here's a 19-day jump

[15:41] from 86,000 Mil to 101 15,000 m in 19

[15:44] days and the that's 1,000 miles a day

[15:46] the crazy thing about it it's perfectly

[15:48] fine perfectly usable I bought it

[15:50] there's barely $1,000 worth of stuff to

[15:53] fix it to make it perfect mechanically

[15:55] but they quit driving it 94,000

[15:57] MI so I this for sale like how could you

[16:01] not like one more month and you would

[16:03] have been the guy to drive it over a

[16:04] million like how do you stop doing and

[16:06] so I bought it it's like it's the

[16:07] easiest you know pick up the car the

[16:10] ball L one y I'm not sports car one yard

[16:12] line basically picking up doing the

[16:13] touchdown it was it was so easy have you

[16:16] reached out to this craus Motors in Utah

[16:19] in Lon Utah well I picked the car up in

[16:21] person because I just had know uh no no

[16:23] it was a dealership that knew the guy

[16:25] and I just like I had to like figure

[16:27] like what's the story on this and it it

[16:30] it's a shame you never you never called

[16:32] these guys I mean they knew this dude

[16:33] came in every 3 weeks for noral change

[16:35] he was L way that I mean transmission

[16:37] fluids like he was doing he was doing

[16:38] everything yeah but he wanted it to run

[16:40] forever the transmission Replacements

[16:41] they told me it been done several times

[16:42] but that's not someone that would

[16:44] reported the Carfax I don't know how

[16:45] many miles it is on the current

[16:46] transmission but that was a thing that

[16:48] would go um you know every not qu

[16:51] million miles or so there are periods

[16:52] where this truck is doing a th a th000

[16:54] miles a day regularly in a month we're

[16:56] only a quarter of the way through this

[16:57] Carfax by the way like well the crazy

[16:59] thing is every single service was done

[17:02] at this Kraus Motors in Leighton Utah

[17:05] there's a few exceptions they sometimes

[17:07] would get uh yeah so men love Toyota

[17:09] there at 339 but wherever they were um

[17:12] oh yeah yeah they there were some some

[17:14] modball ones in there they were in Woods

[17:15] Cross they couldn't make it back Toyota

[17:17] Toyota cion Bountiful where is this so

[17:19] this is just in in the in the north of

[17:22] Salt Lake City saltan City Y wow 350 350

[17:26] no then then they left craus Motors they

[17:27] were like you know what

[17:29] right so I bought they're back I bought

[17:32] this for

[17:32] $11,000 and I thought I was being crazy

[17:35] um and I thought they were crazy for

[17:36] asking it but just for the story and the

[17:37] videos I had to buy it you paid 11 I

[17:40] paid 11 what did you do to it um so

[17:43] leaks was just thing it was like about

[17:44] ,000 to get it perfect and then at 99 or

[17:49] 99,8 miles I'm in Oklahoma going this is

[17:51] filming for my motor Tren show car

[17:53] issues we're going to the track to howad

[17:55] I'm towing a car dies won't restart the

[18:00] entire fuel system has let go where it

[18:03] overpressurized everything like blew out

[18:05] the injectors the injection pump is

[18:07] ruined and they're like if you want this

[18:09] thing to see a million miles it's going

[18:10] to cost you

[18:12] $4,000 200 miles short I was like okay

[18:17] maybe the people who abandoned it 994

[18:19] weren't so stupid after well there was

[18:21] it was just some catastrophic failure

[18:23] that was just random and it and it

[18:25] happened so it didn't hurt the the motor

[18:27] at all and I did it so it has a whole

[18:30] new injection pump injectors everything

[18:31] which is sort of a wear item on these

[18:33] I'm not sure if it was original or not

[18:35] but that was that was tough just short

[18:37] of the finish line so that means 11 I

[18:40] drove it back th in repairs another four

[18:43] so you drove back from Utah from Utah so

[18:44] you're like 16 but you never thought

[18:46] you'd get 16 out of it no this I mean

[18:48] the story of it and the enjoyment like

[18:50] it it was you did the thing you hit the

[18:52] million that's already gone not only did

[18:55] you do it and and and that probably

[18:57] eliminates some of the value in good to

[18:59] but you also the odometer is now broken

[19:01] and so right but it's still the one of

[19:05] the last pre-emissions diesels without

[19:07] all the engineered crap like nowadays I

[19:10] don't feel like a diesel is worth owning

[19:12] in comparison for if you're doing this

[19:13] oil fit Hot Shot stuff because the

[19:15] maintenance and all the the crappiness

[19:17] where they don't last as long and the

[19:18] maintenance is much higher you're better

[19:19] off getting a gasing having the lower

[19:21] mile per gon I think now than a diesel

[19:23] because of all the restrictions with the

[19:25] missions and just the engineering is not

[19:27] the same they're not invincible so

[19:28] that's why

[19:29] taken a uh political and environmental

[19:31] stance it's not political it's just it's

[19:33] just a fact that hovie hates diesels

[19:35] well it happened before with like the 73

[19:38] versus the 60 Power Stroke where they be

[19:40] fair auto makers there was an incident

[19:44] with the Diesels right and so that kind

[19:46] of put a stop to all that you may recall

[19:50] yes well even even the aftermarket with

[19:52] the guys who were deleting all this

[19:53] stuff off of it got in big trouble um so

[19:55] so it's it's tough like even deleting it

[19:57] is a risk now an existing truck and it's

[20:00] very hard it's very backdoor thing to do

[20:03] now so this is the last of an era and

[20:05] people are buying these they're buying

[20:07] 73 Fords um they're buying the Duramax

[20:09] the gmt800 Duramax Chevys and they're

[20:12] just keeping them forever if they're not

[20:13] Rusty find ones with Miles that are okay

[20:17] is tough yeah what's going on here you

[20:19] that's just a little bit of bubbling

[20:20] there the undercarriage is actually

[20:21] pretty good otherwise it's a very usable

[20:24] reasonably clean truck which for Utah I

[20:27] it's astounding it's very considering

[20:29] like they couldn't have been washing it

[20:31] every day and they're putting a thousand

[20:32] miles on it a day but look at that your

[20:34] Land Cruiser spent two years in net and

[20:35] looks like it was with the Titanic at

[20:37] the bottom of the ocean the land CR a

[20:39] couple things first off the Land Cruiser

[20:42] didn't look as bad as you think it

[20:43] looked okay you didn't see those

[20:45] pictures you

[20:46] wrong secondly uh Utah is not a state

[20:50] where they like go crazy with salt and

[20:52] brine like in the Northeast it's not

[20:54] cold every day proper Winters though and

[20:55] it's just yeah but it's not cold every

[20:57] day Here's the the the trick to

[20:59] determining whether a car is from Rusty

[21:00] place is you look at the average January

[21:02] high temperature in the place if the

[21:04] average January high is over freezing by

[21:07] a few degrees you're probably not going

[21:08] to have a rusty car if it's freezing or

[21:10] less it's going to be rusty that's the

[21:11] trait if it's if it's 40 or so you're

[21:14] all set They Don't Really salt all that

[21:16] much then because the it stays warm

[21:18] enough that they don't really have to do

[21:19] it that's why Denver is an okay place on

[21:21] cars it's not perfect and salt lak's the

[21:24] same well they yeah and they don't

[21:25] really use salt Northeast Ohio on the

[21:27] other one yeah although things are

[21:29] changing you know in terms of climate

[21:31] there it certainly gotten working a

[21:33] political stance here on the podcast

[21:35] it's got War out car spotting in Chicago

[21:38] is just fun because of the rust I've

[21:40] been going to Chicago a lot lately it's

[21:41] like oh my God that car's still driving

[21:43] with that hole in it you know I had an

[21:44] E46 330xi where the rear quarter panel

[21:47] started with a little bit of rust the

[21:48] next year it fell off like it just like

[21:51] just like completely I got to work and

[21:52] it was gone rust be quick it does

[21:54] surprise me when I am in Chicago or

[21:56] Detroit um

[21:59] the modern cars have rusts you'll see

[22:02] like a three-year-old car that's like

[22:04] already Rusty and it's like oh my God I

[22:06] can't believe how fast this happens I

[22:08] don't spend any time up there you know

[22:09] except when I come and get hit with that

[22:11] like holy crap this is amazing why have

[22:12] you been spending a lot of time in

[24:07] in the other screen 86 Grand 86 mhm so

[24:11] they're still fighting you ever get into

[24:13] any of these modern Audi RS cars not in

[24:16] the slightest no really no I just like

[24:17] oh that's expensive you like Audi's I do

[24:19] like Audi's yes that's expensive they're

[24:21] going to get cheap I know that's when

[24:23] I'll probably be interested right wait

[24:25] would you do so when what's going to be

[24:27] the first one to get under 50 is is it

[24:28] going to be an E I think this one's

[24:30] let's see what happens is it going to be

[24:32] the the e63s wagon or is it going to be

[24:34] this that gets under 50 Grand uh under

[24:37] 50 mhm when it gets into used car you're

[24:40] talking about the RS6 wagon yeah do you

[24:42] think that was an RS6 what I say idea

[24:44] that was oh sorry I'm sorry but you know

[24:47] what I mean I just don't follow any of

[24:48] that but yeah you but you do eventually

[24:50] what is the price cap you know you say

[24:52] that by the way you have like5 $300,000

[24:54] cars what is the price cap but I don't

[24:56] buy I don't buy the new ones and ride

[24:58] the depreciation like that I I don't the

[25:00] expensive cars are not something that

[25:02] are depreciating right I try to tell

[25:04] that to everybody I got a neighbor who's

[25:06] got I'm not going to say what a car it

[25:07] is because it's a they'll you know but

[25:11] people are like oh he got this whatever

[25:13] like now he's and I and I'm like that's

[25:15] a crazy thing to buy a car an $130,000

[25:18] brand new SUV and people are like well

[25:20] you have your cars right and I'm like

[25:23] you don't understand I can afford that

[25:26] more than I can afford a new G L S63

[25:29] right whenever the game show that we did

[25:31] comes out cuz you've been filming a lot

[25:32] of them it'll be weeks or a month or so

[25:34] but uh yeah we were talking about the

[25:35] 456 and people were paying 264 new for

[25:38] an automatic 456 inflation adjus you got

[25:40] to figure like that's probably a 400

[25:43] number today and it's now worth 40 how

[25:45] do people crazy I can't that's that's

[25:47] real wealth you can just write off be

[25:49] like eh see the B who are the bids on

[25:52] the ram right now because they're kind

[25:53] of going back and forth it's at 11 so

[25:55] it's that what I initially paid for it

[25:57] um are they new here we go see who looks

[26:00] like they're new new biders am I

[26:02] bringing some new people to side no

[26:03] there's some other people there's some

[26:04] repeats this West Power 13 West power

[26:07] was uh has been in it for days but I

[26:09] don't know if he's out so are you got

[26:10] 100% Jake watching this one he is he is

[26:13] paying attention and watching the uh

[26:14] comments just in case I miss anything so

[26:16] Jake I brought on to edit the good

[26:18] morning YouTube but he's also another

[26:19] YouTuber in town yeah do I know 100%

[26:22] Jake I don't think you've met him no no

[26:24] why not um well his he's personal life

[26:27] probably is normal enough to where it

[26:28] doesn't interest you to ask all these

[26:30] questions right checking for 11 very

[26:33] nice okay that's reasonable that is

[26:36] about what I expected I was like the

[26:38] bottom on those is 10 grand if they're

[26:40] not Rusty and that's yeah and that's

[26:43] going to be the bottom car yeah a

[26:45] million miles exactly miles right this

[26:47] person asked a question earlier in the

[26:49] auction you know everybody gets annoyed

[26:50] because there's a lot of questions

[26:52] throughout the auction people like this

[26:53] guy's not a bitter he's just asking

[26:54] questions yeah um but this dude actually

[26:57] asked a question he is this truck

[26:58] running the factory lift pump mhm I

[27:01] don't know if you answer it or not I did

[27:02] I believe it is he actually bought the

[27:04] truck so okay well fantastic it's always

[27:06] nice when that happens my 355 guy was

[27:08] asking questions I answered him he

[27:10] bought car yeah I didn't really know

[27:13] because I sort of looked up what an

[27:14] aftermarket lift pump would look like

[27:16] and I was like oh that's definitely not

[27:17] in there so yeah because it's it's all

[27:19] it's all Factory so you lied to the man

[27:21] no I I think I said I don't believe I

[27:22] believe it is on the factory I don't

[27:24] know if it's original uh you have a lot

[27:25] of cars it is interesting people ask

[27:27] detailed questions about is if you're

[27:28] going to be able to specifically know

[27:30] the anwers I mean that's the kind of

[27:31] question that you ask if you're into

[27:33] these trucks and you really know them

[27:34] and that kind of thing wonder what he's

[27:35] going to do with it one use it right

[27:38] next million miles maybe certainly

[27:40] possible there's there's ones with two

[27:42] three million miles on them so it's not

[27:43] that unusual is that true two or three

[27:45] million like semi- trucks yeah well not

[27:47] semi- trucks no just no but like semi-

[27:49] trucks do yeah you know semi- trucks

[27:51] when you buy them come with a one year

[27:52] 100,000 mile warranty that's crazy M you

[27:57] can up it to two 200 3

[27:59] 300 amazing so you got two cars sold

[28:02] here today thank you nice work gentlemen

[28:05] yeah no Reserve have you sold anything

[28:06] today have I sold anything today no I've

[28:08] not sold any of my one Cars yeah there's

[28:11] one more the bell of the balls ending in

[28:13] a bit you know the rarest of the rare

[28:14] right there but uh yeah all right let's

[28:17] do questions okay okay all right uh I'm

[28:20] just going to go down the list here and

[28:23] we'll see what

[28:24] happens um what is the difference

[28:26] between cars and bids live and this car

[29:28] it looks like a puffy 911 I think it

[29:30] looks like a a yeah a G Series 911 stung

[29:33] by a puff marshmallow man at1

[29:36] specifically this Fell's standing by

[29:37] this thing like look at my marshmallow

[29:39] car yeah if we just I've got a

[29:40] marshmallow car right here in our friend

[29:42] group we just call it puffy we call it

[29:43] puffy the 911 I like it I mean do they

[29:45] seem undervalued to you this here is no

[29:48] cuz what do they sell for they million

[29:50] for a 911 that's puffy

[29:53] oh like this compared to getting a 993

[29:56] Turbo S N puffy yeah that's like a 600

[30:00] car or just get a regular 993 turbo or

[30:02] regular 93 none of those cars are puffy

[30:04] only this one is Puffy there're felt

[30:05] this one

[30:06] is I suppose you bought you bought the

[30:09] right car obviously the 918 hyper car

[30:12] Holy Trinity it's cool but there there's

[30:15] it's it's technology that's going to be

[30:16] topped over and over again forever with

[30:18] the hypercars and crer GT is is not

[30:21] something that could ever be topped D so

[30:24] I feel it I feel okay next question from

[30:26] Mark Johnson which sounds fake hovie I

[30:29] love good morning YouTube where did the

[30:32] idea originally come from well

[30:37] um I think it was just what could we do

[30:40] together um because she comes from a lot

[30:43] of Television Broadcast movie background

[30:46] and she never wants to admit that she's

[30:47] a YouTuber April it's just I I'm not a

[30:50] YouTuber I'm a broadcaster I'm an actor

[30:53] I'm and so YouTuber is a dirty word to

[30:56] her well so she doesn't respect our

[30:58] she's from the I get hired to do this

[31:01] job and I do it where we YouTubers we

[31:04] were well we wrote for auto trader or so

[31:07] we were making videos Can companion

[31:08] pieces to our videos but we started

[31:11] doing videos with no intention of really

[31:13] making money it was just like it was

[31:15] just a thing to do and it was it seemed

[31:17] like a crazy thing to okay you're going

[31:19] to have to work for years and make no

[31:21] money right you know building this up

[31:23] and um but I I the format idea I didn't

[31:27] see someone doing sort of a YouTube

[31:30] Morning Show where they're talking like

[31:31] not really the view but sort of that

[31:34] sort and the initial thought was to do a

[31:35] longer form sort of like a podcast where

[31:37] it's a general topic sort of like a a

[31:39] news show but then we realized people

[31:41] don't want to commit to a really long

[31:42] one so we just would film five 15 20

[31:46] minute episodes and uh just just put

[31:48] topics out obviously it wasn't supposed

[31:50] to be as car focused as it was but the

[31:52] car videos tend to do better so usually

[31:55] every other video is about cars and I

[31:57] just wanted to broaden my palette as far

[32:00] as other things to talk about on YouTube

[32:01] CU which you don't you don't really do

[32:05] much of when you do the one thing your

[32:06] your y thing you get just absolutely

[32:08] annihilated but yeah he did he did a

[32:11] couple of those house reviews which were

[32:12] awesome that's true that was great your

[32:14] house you certainly can here's a

[32:16] question from um Don DeMarco uh hovie

[32:21] when are you guys getting

[32:23] [Music]

[32:25] married that's Don we haven't dat yet

[32:28] you haven't set a date we haven't set a

[32:29] date yet uh here's a followup from Don

[32:32] dearco

[32:36] thinking uh will you be inviting

[32:38] colleagues not this year but we are

[32:40] going to do an engagement party when the

[32:42] house is done and we're going to throw a

[32:44] big party for everybody and I can set up

[32:46] basically I have five acres to set up a

[32:48] concore I even have a pond that people

[32:49] can pull around and do all this stuff

[32:50] here's a question from Dave Del Monaco

[32:53] um are you going to host one of these

[32:55] parties in San Diego no not likely

[33:00] no so you would have to travel you would

[33:02] not go because witch's a connection Doug

[33:04] does not travel to somewhere if there's

[33:06] a

[33:07] connection unless it's International

[33:08] he's mentioned this to all my friends he

[33:10] said unless you get married in San Diego

[33:11] I'm not coming oh so you don't even do

[33:12] that anymore no if someone if if listen

[33:15] or his house on or the place on N if

[33:18] I am the officient I will go also if as

[33:22] long as the wedding is LA area or South

[33:25] so three-hour drive but maybe if to

[33:28] someone really special if it's a direct

[33:29] flight you might do it but otherwise no

[33:32] I I get it m if I got married in San

[33:34] Francisco to somebody there there's it's

[33:37] a 5050 chance no I would go I'll tell

[33:39] you this if Ed Bolan did a vow renewal

[33:42] I'd go to that because I love Atlanta

[33:43] you think they have snakes in it

[33:45] incorporate that into the V does it ever

[33:47] talk about snakes with you no I mean his

[33:50] his snake died and I think they replaced

[33:52] it with a lizard I thought he had a

[33:54] collection like a number of no he just

[33:56] had the big the big one yeah it was very

[33:58] sad I got a couple I got a couple other

[34:00] ones I got a couple other ones okay all

[34:02] right um this question comes from

[34:07] uh you're making up the names so it's

[34:10] this be real this is going to be a real

[34:12] question this is going to be a real

[34:13] question all right um blank marry or

[34:17] kill the McLaren F1 the Lexus LFA or the

[34:20] F40 okay kill the LFA yeah that's an

[34:23] easy yeah I would say so kill it dead

[34:26] mhm that's all the rest I didn't want to

[34:28] I didn't even want to do the rest of the

[34:30] question I just wanted to do that yeah

[34:32] I'd blank the F1 and marry the F40 right

[34:35] wouldn't you no you marri the F1 well

[34:39] just from the value standpoint or like

[34:40] you're married you're stuck with it for

[34:41] the rest of your life so you have to

[34:42] maintain it the only person who's going

[34:43] to benefit from the value at the end is

[34:44] is the person who's dead um or you're

[34:47] probably not you because you're dead the

[34:48] Next Generation so John feny who wrote

[34:52] that question in he didn't say I was

[34:53] stuck with it for the rest of my life

[34:55] using it as an opportunity to kill

[34:59] you really hate that car you love the

[35:01] way it sounds I liked it at 400 no you I

[35:03] don't even think you a million is a lot

[35:05] hard as well especially when you have to

[35:07] go from neutral and then you pull the

[35:08] little ear to go in reverse and back up

[35:10] then you have to go back in the neutral

[35:11] and then in the first M it's a have you

[35:13] ever driv one no I it's so annoying

[35:15] don't okay but man the sound is

[35:17] exquisite and it does REV so fast and

[35:19] there went all of your LFA cars and bids

[35:21] listings till the end of time right

[35:24] there well I'll do a video on it if you

[35:26] guys want to okay um um Doug when are we

[35:28] going to get a Cars & bids HQ video tour

[35:30] very soon we filmed one and it's going

[35:32] to come up here in a couple of week it

[35:34] is lovely oh here's a great one oh thank

[35:36] God I got this question from

[35:38] Kyle dear hu and dog I've wanted to

[35:41] start a car centered YouTube channel for

[35:43] many years mhm and I'm not really sure

[35:45] how to go about starting my channel do

[35:46] you have any tips on what to do and what

[35:48] not to do have you had any failures what

[35:50] worked for you now be careful because Mr

[35:52] Beast got in trouble remember did you

[35:53] see this headline where got taken out of

[35:54] context where he said people are

[35:56] quitting their jobs to do YouTube and

[35:57] they shouldn't like it was something

[35:59] like that where he's like people don't

[36:00] chase your dreams you can't be me was

[36:02] taken out of context for that oh I'll

[36:04] say that in context don't quit your shot

[36:07] to YouTube but no the way that it was

[36:10] taken out of context I did this like

[36:13] this can't be replicated or something

[36:14] can you provide us with

[36:17] some information about he got mad at me

[36:20] for banging on the table so I decided to

[36:22] can you provide us with some information

[36:24] about what would you say to this to Kyle

[36:27] here does he have a unique angle and can

[36:29] he do it

[36:30] consistently yeah you have a unique

[36:32] angle with the cirks and features I had

[36:34] the unique angle with the cheapest in

[36:35] the USA they've both been copied a lot

[36:37] but we're The Originals with that what

[36:40] is the next angle with someone else whin

[36:44] diesel burst on the scene because he's

[36:46] just completely destroying the things

[36:47] like that that do you agree that

[36:48] Whistlin is the greatest living person

[36:51] oh he has the same thing of you where

[36:53] the the I don't care kind of stuff I

[36:55] mean it's it's amazing we actually we

[36:57] have a his G wagon which was crushed we

[36:59] have a box of it oh you did buy one of

[37:00] his things my buddy Nick bought it for

[37:02] me as a thank you because I took I had

[37:03] him take his Mercy logo to the racetrack

[37:06] and so as a gift he got me that which

[37:08] honestly is the finest gift someone can

[37:09] give me because I am obsessed with

[37:11] whistle and Diesel MH but as you think

[37:13] of someone else that has bursted on the

[37:15] scene that's really eclip us so that was

[37:17] the question I was going to ask do you

[37:18] think it's even possible anymore we got

[37:21] started about the same time I started 13

[37:23] when did you start 16 yeah so but in

[37:25] that era 13 14 before that that I didn't

[37:30] I you had some guy an animator yeah mhm

[37:33] yes 13 14 15 that era you could do this

[37:38] is it even possible anymore it'd be

[37:40] tough it would be really hard um it's

[37:43] working with good morning YouTube Just

[37:45] because I have the existing and she has

[37:47] way more followers than me on other

[37:49] things so it's that's a easy way to jump

[37:51] started but if I I obviously I nowhere

[37:54] near the level you guys are but I think

[37:55] one thing I would consider is exploring

[37:57] other platforms too uh like really

[37:59] maximizing on Snapchat and uh CU they

[38:01] seem to be paying the most right now and

[38:03] then you know really playing a lot more

[38:04] with short form that seems to be like

[38:05] the the future I don't know if it'll

[38:07] always be that way it's nice that Tik

[38:08] Tok has like lengthened the like they

[38:11] realize people are watching videos

[38:12] longer so like you have to be over a

[38:13] minute to be monetized you're exactly

[38:15] right there's probably it's probably

[38:16] there's all these opportunities you just

[38:18] have to like figure out what it is and

[38:19] then like you said also bring something

[38:20] you need to yeah people are making you

[38:22] know really engaging shorts on yeah on

[38:25] Instagram on uh Snapchat there's all

[38:29] these Tik Tok guys Tik Tok who I didn't

[38:31] even know about M who aren't the usual

[38:34] it's not like stradman just goes on Tik

[38:36] Tok and is then the biggest right

[38:37] there's there's separate Tik Tok people

[38:39] and they kill it and then they have no

[38:40] YouTube following but it's harder to

[38:41] monetize I will say the thing that the

[38:43] one of the big benefits of of Tik Tok in

[38:45] particular is like especially if you're

[38:47] newer and trying stuff out it won't

[38:48] punish you the way that YouTube does if

[38:50] you try something and it fails it won't

[38:51] punish the algorithm doesn't punish you

[38:53] every video is analyzed individually

[38:54] when I did when I did the mamia um and

[38:56] Mercedes me out to drive the go Wing in

[38:59] in the race and all that stuff I was the

[39:00] only YouTuber the other ones was

[39:02] instagrammer and big Snapchat Tik tocker

[39:05] and all so I was I was the grandpa of

[39:07] the group oh that's the YouTuber but you

[39:09] know what you know here's a funny here's

[39:11] a funny anecdote for you that I have I

[39:13] haven't shared with the audience and I'm

[39:14] now going

[39:15] to we we had a Tik tocker we called them

[39:17] up we have we've talked to a bunch of

[39:19] them for like tips and ideas on how to

[39:21] launch a Tik talkk Channel or whatever

[39:24] and uh we said we've said to a few of

[39:26] these people what is your dream

[39:28] what are you trying to do what are you

[39:29] trying to go from this and you know what

[39:31] they say they want to be a YouTuber

[39:33] right and same with old school

[39:34] broadcasting guys with that have been

[39:37] done TV forever and like I I meet all

[39:39] these people at barar Jackson because

[39:40] there's a lot of celebrities there and

[39:42] they're just like man we really I really

[39:44] want to do a YouTube channel make a

[39:45] YouTube video and there's plenty of

[39:46] celebrities that have tried it and like

[39:48] big big names and it will Smith YouTube

[39:51] channel they right he like made a huge

[39:53] thing out of it yeah it it just doesn't

[39:55] take off realize that the YouTube has

[39:57] has the most earning potential and has

[39:59] the most sort of longevity tail it's

[40:01] certainly I'm not saying it's dying I'm

[40:03] not going to say that it's certainly

[40:04] slowed compared to wear it it's

[40:06] saturated I would say is is the there's

[40:08] just so many compared to us where five

[40:11] years ago where there was a much smaller

[40:12] pool of right million plus subscriber

[40:14] YouTubers right oh I used to get so many

[40:17] more views simply because you wanted car

[40:20] content it was either you or me and it

[40:23] was

[40:24] me well we didn't compete cuz you did

[40:26] Tuesday Thursday and I did it Wednesday

[40:28] Friday your videos were always better

[40:30] this is the thing I don't know about

[40:31] that when I was doing f40s that was

[40:33] pretty cool okay but hooie you could see

[40:36] him every day in Kansas like living like

[40:38] living it your subject matter I felt

[40:40] could change to be something much more

[40:42] entertaining like once you figured out a

[40:44] format you were married to the format

[40:46] and particularly when it started to

[40:47] reward you for new cars you were married

[40:48] to that whereas you could buy anything

[40:50] and be something stupid and like awful

[40:52] like a horrible car yeah you say that

[40:55] but then you know there's Scotty Kilmer

[40:56] that post two videos a day just ranting

[40:58] in his driveway andew and he gets views

[41:01] I mean he dies every month and quits

[41:03] YouTube every two weeks you know like

[41:05] all this stuff and it's been the same

[41:07] formula forever and he the who watches

[41:11] him I get people come up to me the only

[41:12] people I watch are you and Scotty and

[41:14] I'm like are you mentally unwell like I

[41:16] don't know I don't know how that could

[41:19] be right how do you watch this new so

[41:21] there yeah there's definitely the

[41:22] formulaic and and the success with that

[41:25] and then you can see like tvarish P

[41:27] pivoting to when he posts it's an event

[41:29] where he used to be more consistent and

[41:31] then it works with cart Trek that's why

[41:34] carart Trek's not on my channel it's not

[41:35] Wiki and Wiki posts five days a week

[41:37] small stories but and you know sometimes

[41:39] they'll blow up a little bit more than

[41:40] others but over time five days a week

[41:42] it's consistence the views are higher um

[41:45] so that's why it's on his channel

[41:47] because it could it it could potentially

[41:48] blow up on my channel it happens

[41:50] sometimes it's an event on his his every

[41:52] time he posts oh my God I got to drop

[41:53] everything and watch a tar video and

[41:55] when tar posts I know crap I shouldn't

[41:57] post a video The Day toar post because

[41:59] it really does take away from mine yeah

[42:01] yeah um

[42:05] nonetheless the thing I always tell all

[42:07] of my YouTuber colleagues when I meet

[42:08] them in person from the radies rides guy

[42:12] to the throttle house guys to you to

[42:14] everyone start a business that isn't

[42:17] YouTube how you doing on that well I was

[42:21] sort of doing it before with uh you know

[42:23] Freddy's I was there oh no I mean I was

[42:26] just saying like I no take your YouTube

[42:28] audience to a business like cars and

[42:30] bids that isn't YouTube right well I did

[42:32] get an email from a guy who wants to

[42:33] start something called uh uh gears and

[42:36] gabbles gabbles and gears and they want

[42:38] me to be the figure out and I'm not

[42:39] joking it sounds like a joke but it's

[42:40] real Tyler the number of people who have

[42:42] who have seen us do this and be

[42:45] successful at it cars and bids and

[42:47] therefore think to themselves hey this

[42:49] complete idiot with his stupid

[42:52] t-shirt if he can do that I can do it

[42:56] and so the number of

[42:57] of competitor auction sites that have

[43:00] launched has been absolutely insane over

[43:02] the last we used to keep track we used

[43:04] to have like do we still keep track are

[43:06] you still paying attention fipo when

[43:07] those come up yeah yeah our director of

[43:10] operations is always keeps a tab on it

[43:12] but yeah there there was like a list of

[43:14] one point I don't remember it was like

[43:16] 85 like I think or something I want to

[43:18] tell people don't do it start a podcast

[43:20] instead mhm befriend

[43:22] hoovie F find an inroad find something

[43:26] that's it is hard this was a great pivot

[43:29] for you although talk about idiots I

[43:31] remember you wanted to code the you

[43:33] wanted to learn to code to build the

[43:35] website yourself originally you out your

[43:37] mind I know complete idiot and thank God

[43:40] you did I think I took one class in

[43:42] middle school and C++ or I don't know

[43:45] build the most basic website terrible

[43:47] I'm learning c yeah I I still edit

[43:50] iMovie which you did you kind of an

[43:52] editor now I think but you you were

[43:54] doing it forever so I have Nick over

[43:55] there he edits the videos he's a king

[43:58] and uh yeah I don't do thatmore despite

[44:02] having a like a lifetime now like on

[44:04] digital format and playing with

[44:05] technology really to make your stuff

[44:07] you're one of the most Technologic

[44:09] internet people I've ever seen like when

[44:10] our I'm not much better yeah are like

[44:12] Google meets we used to have to do for a

[44:14] company when he figured out he could

[44:15] change the background to something he

[44:16] picked a picture from my Facebook

[44:17] profile and made that the background

[44:20] giant you know what embarrassing is I

[44:22] didn't know the difference and Doug had

[44:24] to tell me what live images were when I

[44:26] was was texting him photos I would send

[44:28] him a picture of something and it was

[44:29] alive and it would just jumble for a

[44:31] second and he would like oh wow alive

[44:33] and then then finally he had to like do

[44:35] you know explain what you know what a

[44:36] live is and you can turn it off and oh

[44:38] to actually send a real photo and not

[44:40] like a brief little video thing and I I

[44:42] didn't know laughably Tech unsavvy this

[44:45] is the realities of Kansas um okay

[44:47] here's a couple of interesting other

[44:48] questions from Jared this one's for you

[44:50] I assume because the question is

[44:51] Peterbilt or Kenworth and you would be

[44:53] the only one who would know the answer

[44:54] no idea really honestly you all your

[44:57] time on Interstate 35 probably and you

[45:00] don't know what the answer to this is no

[45:02] idea Peter builts still look old school

[45:04] they look cooler I think they're more

[45:06] boxy still where the more aerodynamic

[45:08] looking right yeah no I have absolutely

[45:11] no idea but uh you know the Peter Built

[45:13] to run a little longer cabin's a little

[45:15] more comfortable they still have the

[45:16] flat nose like a you know Big Mac kind

[45:18] of we literally have no idea okay yeah

[45:21] yeah um don't have a stance How come

[45:24] every summer I drive across the country

[45:26] how come you've never visited me on that

[45:28] drive well do you do Interstate 40 70 or

[45:31] 80 which one you do where are you yeah

[45:33] so I'm uh I know where you are why don't

[45:36] you come down I'm 5 hours from

[45:38] Interstate 40 and and an hour and a half

[45:40] from 70 and 3 hours from 80 so no I know

[45:43] all this why you come visit me well you

[45:45] used to do the cross country meetups

[45:46] with fans when you drive across country

[45:47] why don't you do that anymore I'll tell

[45:49] you why I did it I did five of them mhm

[45:52] that's where I met kenon did you know

[45:53] that no I did not yeah I met kenon

[45:55] September we have probably a photo of

[45:56] the first

[46:57] of my dream car the 2006 Bugatti

[47:00] Veyron this is the person asking the

[47:03] questions dream car mhm I I don't know

[47:06] how you could own one unless like with

[47:09] strz man's documentation of it and like

[47:11] chipping the ceramic Brak and the cost

[47:13] of all that it just just seems crazy but

[47:16] it is the coolest car of the mid 2000s

[47:18] that everybody was talking about I mean

[47:20] it is it is the car is it going to do

[47:23] what a McLaren F1 did with15 million I

[47:25] don't think it ever will but but we'll

[47:28] see I mean yeah I I don't disagree

[47:30] because they did they I agreed

[47:33] wholeheartedly that it's a very

[47:34] difficult card hence why the Chiron

[47:36] exists they wanted to make it a a little

[47:37] bit easier um but yeah I totally agree

[47:40] it's a Concord moment that car for the

[47:42] automobile historically speaking it's s

[47:44] such a it just transforms things I think

[47:47] that it may someday be worth 10 really I

[47:49] would not be surprised I just if you

[47:50] look back at like the cars that were the

[47:53] most iconic icons of Iconia they all

[47:56] became really valuable and that car for

[47:58] all of its issues is you remember when

[48:01] we were that age yeah oh yeah it was the

[48:04] I me of its decade Captain slow going

[48:07] 230 miles hour whatever it was and that

[48:10] burned into my brain forever right like

[48:12] all of those things yes yep um and I

[48:15] just I agree it would be hard to own it

[48:17] would be tremendously expensive but none

[48:18] of well none of the other icons are easy

[48:20] to own either like they're all terrible

[48:22] there are days I wonder if if it's a

[48:24] better Financial play than K GT and if

[48:26] it's just was like Bugatti Veyron like

[48:30] that was the car yep I remember the last

[48:32] time I saw one just driving around uh I

[48:34] think it was for Monteray and it was

[48:36] just like man especially if someone just

[48:38] grows up it's just like you're kind of

[48:39] Star Struck you never see them ever

[48:41] especially on stock wheels I was at a

[48:43] Bugatti dealer filming and one pulled

[48:45] into the parking lot and I lost it and

[48:47] I'm like there but it's just like wow

[48:51] yeah I I don't know I have I have a

[48:53] suspicion that that car becomes really

[48:55] really really I think it's a great car

[48:57] keep going after it it's it's quite a

[48:59] machine I I'm not going to get one but

[49:01] you should I'm not saying you I'm saying

[49:03] Sebastian here should keep going for it

[49:05] um maybe hoie uh stradman I want to talk

[49:08] about stradman um you know him I like

[49:13] when that Dodge I picked it up in Salt

[49:15] Lake two years ago we hung out that day

[49:17] oh yeah you went to like a little Frozen

[49:19] y he filmed he went because I think they

[49:21] just opened they had a Lamborghini

[49:23] dealer just open a month prior and in

[49:25] Salt Lake and so we went there we went

[49:27] to lunch where' you go to lunch a burger

[49:30] get I don't it's two years ago yeah um

[49:34] what do you think of that stradman

[49:37] fella um I I think to do what he does

[49:41] and because he's still sort of vlogging

[49:43] and day in the life and posting as much

[49:45] as he does it's just exhausting like the

[49:47] the the work ethic there um the house to

[49:51] go a million over budget because

[49:52] everything was at the top like the and

[49:54] that that was the thing when I'm doing

[49:55] my place you know I get the same size

[49:57] garage cuz I can put up a steel building

[49:59] for cheap because it's Farm country you

[50:01] know where he had to do a really high

[50:03] build code requirements out in sure do

[50:06] you have to apply for permits yeah I did

[50:08] get a permit but it's an it's an a

[50:09] building there will be a tractor in

[50:11] there my Lamborghini tractor that I have

[50:14] um yes but like who you there's like a

[50:17] town that you apply to permit I had to

[50:19] drive to el doro Kansas yeah dides

[50:20] someone come out or do you just kind of

[50:22] what would stop anyone you from just

[50:24] building this building well they

[50:25] actually kind of screwed me up a little

[50:26] little bit because I put one garage on

[50:28] the far side and it was supposed to be

[50:30] on the other side or stick out enough

[50:32] far enough from the 1940s Barn in front

[50:34] of it to where say I had like a big

[50:36] trailer that I could back it straight in

[50:38] and they said no because of the easement

[50:39] with the property line you need to be 30

[50:41] feet off or something like that of the

[50:42] property line with a with an a building

[50:44] so you but it's probably they said you

[50:47] at least has to be even with your

[50:48] existing Barn that was built in the 1940

[50:51] so that's I had to do but you you live

[50:53] out in the middle I mean they're not

[50:54] driving past nobody's is going to affect

[50:57] nobody forever but because that's my

[50:58] property line that's what they said but

[50:59] why didn't you just not tell them and

[51:00] just build it in you build you can build

[51:02] a metal Barn in like an afternoon me and

[51:04] Ken could knock get out in an afternoon

[51:05] with a couple of cold ones right but

[51:07] then whenever the the urban sprawl grows

[51:10] into my area and I piss off Karen over

[51:13] the fence that building was there when I

[51:15] bought it I don't even know about that

[51:16] building do you have any idea how many

[51:17] times I've said

[51:19] that for stuff I built yesterday well so

[51:22] you're fighting your own garage build

[51:24] right now so for six cars and you'll

[51:27] spend four four cars and you'll spend

[51:29] quadruple probably what I spend or

[51:30] whatever on a 6,000 foot building so

[51:32] that's true

[51:35] mhm

[51:37] okay

[51:38] um okay here's a question from Parker S

[51:42] Parker s to you okay hoie I'm gonna go

[51:45] back to that stradman question actually

[51:46] but I want to ask this now Parker S as

[51:48] some hovie as someone from Kansas do you

[51:51] still enjoy living here even with no

[51:53] crazy car scene there's a good car scene

[51:55] in Kansas The Cars and Coffee will get

[51:57] over they in Kansas City no not in the

[52:00] slightest I bet all the Chiron are in

[52:01] Kansas City I bet the McLaren f1s are in

[52:04] are at Arrowhead Stadium every Sunday

[52:06] none no not a one it's like can you

[52:09] imagine

[52:11] though the autocross after the football

[52:13] game or maybe before I I don't know how

[52:15] any of that works yeah you'd be

[52:16] surprised I go in and it's just

[52:17] surprising what's tucked away in there

[52:20] and it's not just you know Boomer muscle

[52:21] cars and things there's a lot of

[52:22] interesting cars there it's it's very

[52:24] easy place to drive around do ever

[52:26] consider moving out of Kansas not the

[52:28] slightest no now you have kids there

[52:30] you're kind of R there if I would if I

[52:32] didn't I mean maybe Arizona would be on

[52:34] the list I think would be would be one

[52:36] that I would I think I would do why

[52:38] because I don't have to deal with

[52:39] traffic and congestion here the traffic

[52:42] I'm not I wouldn't expect you to move to

[52:44] here but why Arizona over just because

[52:46] of weather because the the weather's

[52:48] warm and I don't mind super hot weather

[52:50] um and I think the car scene there is

[52:53] really good and it's just not congested

[52:55] and you're not on top of of everybody

[52:57] all the time and I being from Kansas all

[52:59] my life I just can't I can't do this I

[53:01] can't there are how many hundreds of

[53:02] people are above us right now I can't do

[53:03] it like no

[53:06] no they're not going to hurt us it's

[53:09] still

[53:11] it's okay let's go back to the stradman

[53:13] question okay who else do you know what

[53:15] are these I don't know any you car

[53:17] YouTubers I've never any them you know

[53:19] them yeah right fine okay I mean I've

[53:22] met I've met a lot of them yeah I mean

[53:24] tell me what you think you got any juicy

[53:25] stuff no

[53:27] yeah let's start a feud right now

[53:29] with hovie hates who's a big car

[53:33] YouTuber that I can name um

[53:36] DDE no no who you got who else you met I

[53:39] went at one time I tried to get you to

[53:40] take um Parker under your wing right no

[53:44] Parker has mellowed out considerably

[53:47] from when he was young but it's just

[53:48] like normal guy progressing through his

[53:49] 20s and into his 30s it becomes a much

[53:52] more mature person and and and Parker

[53:54] definitely did that you know we all had

[53:56] our phase where we went and that was

[53:57] your influence because you took him

[53:59] under your way I did not take he did

[54:00] burn your car though it was an accident

[54:02] and it was my fault for not doing the

[54:03] recall before mon car week that is true

[54:06] yeah I thought it's lasted for 25 years

[54:09] it's going to last mine was done and

[54:10] even I triple checked it to make sure so

[54:13] the first thing I looked at when I

[54:14] pulled it off the truck I put a iPhone

[54:15] up there to look he's like I'm going to

[54:16] Shi this thing to La drive it a thousand

[54:19] miles it was fine catches fire it's fine

[54:22] yep anytime yeah anytime someone

[54:23] mentions 355 that's like the picture

[54:25] that comes up is that

[54:27] yes yes I have hurt 355 owners I have

[54:31] hurt it hurt V Bri McLaren 12C owners I

[54:34] hurt a lot the truth hurts you know

[54:37] people get mad at me too the truth hurts

[54:40] yeah hey what do you think of the Cyber

[54:41] truck I want one really MH you yes you

[54:45] know it's all electronic mhm I know the

[54:47] steer by wire thing is scary and all

[54:49] that stuff I just I just like we l it it

[54:51] was great it made so much it makes so

[54:53] much more sense just one turn and you

[54:54] turned y that's it we did parallel

[54:57] parking challenge with one and I'm not

[54:58] going to give away who won but filipo

[55:01] lost uh big it was great mhm you should

[55:06] see when you drive that around how

[55:07] people respond I can't imagine in

[55:08] Witchita a guy came up to me I was in

[55:10] the parking lot at the zoo because

[55:11] that's where I shoot and the guy came to

[55:13] me and was like I'm from Oklahoma and we

[55:14] don't have these here and what is this

[55:15] thing and how long have you had it I am

[55:17] very annoyed right now because there are

[55:19] people I was a day one reservation put

[55:22] down the money I got the invite December

[55:24] 29th that to to configure to pay the

[55:26] th000 deposit to get it it said

[55:28] delivered January to March I still don't

[55:30] have a VIN on the Tesla Facebook

[55:33] cybertruck Facebook groups there's

[55:35] people that have gotten the invitation

[55:38] after me got their Vin got the car well

[55:40] I've been waiting in Kansas did do but

[55:43] that's not really I I was in New York

[55:44] last week I saw several so and they

[55:46] build them in Texas if anything it's

[55:48] benefit you well and I that's the thing

[55:50] I I don't know because and because I had

[55:52] Rich rebuilds on we're talking about

[55:54] other YouTubers and we did a talk about

[55:55] how sometimes they can do little petty

[55:57] things like he was supposed to get a

[55:59] free or allocation or reservation of the

[56:02] Roadster the new Roadster with all the

[56:04] referrals that he sold because if you

[56:05] did referral you could eventually get

[56:07] things and he did enough with his

[56:08] YouTube channel to get one and they took

[56:10] it away and the reason they gave was

[56:12] because his videos and the quote is

[56:15] annoying I could see how Tesla would be

[56:17] annoyed with his videos I love his

[56:19] videos and I'm just wondering if they've

[56:21] gotten annoyed with me because like I

[56:22] had the one where I was making fun of

[56:24] Tesla is where I'm hugging the tree and

[56:25] kissing the tree and then the one where

[56:26] the battery blew up on a car trek and

[56:28] like it was not blew up but it just

[56:30] failed and it so I've had good and bad

[56:34] videos with Tesla and I wonder because

[56:35] I've had any negativity that they just

[56:37] have me in this Purgatory did you build

[56:40] a did you order a beast or a reggy so I

[56:42] did two day one reservations and so I

[56:46] have one as a beast and one as a regular

[56:48] whichever one comes first is the one

[56:50] that I will take and if the Beast comes

[56:52] away later then I can say hey Tesla you

[56:54] can take it on trade or or you know I'll

[56:57] give them the opportunity to take it on

[56:58] trade to get that one but either way

[57:01] you're not you don't have one they're

[57:02] pretty around have you seen one since

[57:04] you've been on first time I had never

[57:05] seen one ever and then I've seen 10 here

[57:08] they're around they're like not they're

[57:10] not common yet but they're like around

[57:12] but showing up to Cars and Coffee and

[57:13] being cool is way over it's over yeah

[57:15] it's happen now and wit top perhaps and

[57:18] the downfall quickly of prices has been

[57:21] I mean like everyone's too scared elon's

[57:23] going to soo them so the first one ever

[57:25] sells for it was wholesale dealer only

[57:28] auction for 244 and then that sort of

[57:30] opened the floodgates and like in two

[57:33] weeks there's a correction of 100 Grand

[57:34] or so which I don't think I've ever seen

[57:36] before so um tell us

[57:40] about other YouTubers oh man you just

[57:44] keep going like rattle one off or what

[57:46] you know people re suddenly you pull

[57:48] them out of that out of a rich rebuilds

[57:49] happen to be in Kansas because we have

[57:50] this whole witcha YouTube Mafia now all

[57:52] these like all these friends I said hey

[57:54] I want to be a YouTuber or they were

[57:55] doing it before and we've all just sort

[57:57] of built each other up to where it's

[57:58] there's there's about eight uh big

[58:02] bigger car YouTube channels in wi talk I

[58:05] can touch him some drama for him if you

[58:06] want so uh you don't have to talk about

[58:08] this so uh you had your 599 converted by

[58:10] eag oh yes lot going on there down in

[58:14] Texas tell us about hello tell us about

[58:18] that hello so um Dan normal guy Supercar

[58:24] bought some cars from me uh incl

[58:26] including my orange Mercy logo which he

[58:28] sold he bought that he bought that from

[58:30] me and sold it on cars and bids and he

[58:32] sold it for about what I paid for it so

[58:34] he got to enjoy the car for a while so

[58:36] um but um I sold it for what I paid for

[58:42] the car or another little more whatever

[58:44] it was but manual transmission he had a

[58:46] a spot for a conversion for a 599 and I

[58:50] discounted the car to get the conversion

[58:52] and I got his early spot in line so I

[58:54] fly down um they or drove down with the

[58:57] car and they were going to do it on

[58:59] video in a Day within 24 hours they were

[59:01] going to convert the car and it was

[59:02] successful the product was amazing I

[59:04] left it down there just so they could

[59:06] finish some things out and then came

[59:08] back and drove it from Austin to Amelia

[59:11] Island so Jacksonville area M Flawless

[59:13] they did say because it's the early car

[59:15] and we had to make cables by hand

[59:17] they're going to stretch and it's get a

[59:18] little weird so that's perfect when

[59:20] you're done with the mil ship it back to

[59:21] us because that'll be th miles we'll

[59:22] adjust the cables and by the end they

[59:24] were right like the reverse I had to

[59:26] sometimes roll the car to get it in

[59:28] reverse and like the the one two or the

[59:29] 2 three I don't remember exactly was a

[59:31] little bit harder but still easier than

[59:32] like a 348 or tester Roa you know it's

[59:34] still very SM and shipped it back it was

[59:37] great and um the I had to send it there

[59:41] one more time and I had no idea all this

[59:43] drama was going on because I got the car

[59:44] back about a week

[59:46] before all this went down my cluster was

[59:48] going crazy and they had the oh so you

[59:50] sent it to them recently I sent it to

[59:52] them recently I got it back like a week

[59:54] before all this went down oh so my my

[59:57] cluster needed to be rebuilt and I

[1:00:00] wanted them when they did the second fix

[1:00:02] they did a tune one tune gave me a

[1:00:04] little bit of a REV hang so I could

[1:00:05] drive it normal cuz these cars are so

[1:00:08] quick Revy that um like the factory

[1:00:10] gated cars are not very good because

[1:00:12] there are shift rods that Rattle and

[1:00:14] it's so hard unless you're shifting

[1:00:16] really quickly you know just getting the

[1:00:17] Rev match and all that stuff is kind of

[1:00:19] hard um but they changed it and they

[1:00:20] gave it a bigger tune and they got rid

[1:00:22] of the Rev hang and I kind of liked it

[1:00:23] that way like can we do something in

[1:00:25] between yeah and so they did that for me

[1:00:27] they gave me the latest uh shift gate

[1:00:30] that was a little bit better um just

[1:00:32] because as they were doing they did 30

[1:00:34] cars and they sort of refine the process

[1:00:35] a little bit and then I so I get the car

[1:00:37] back I'm like it's perfect this is

[1:00:39] amazing this is the best thing ever for

[1:00:42] like I'm into this car for well because

[1:00:45] the mercy L CR but it's still way under

[1:00:48] 170 6050 something like into this car

[1:00:51] that is perfection and then yeah all

[1:00:56] this drama goes down which I'm sure you

[1:00:58] guys have been following but so you

[1:00:59] you're not you didn't participate in

[1:01:00] this you don't know any more than what's

[1:01:01] been said publicly no so everything was

[1:01:04] noral when has always been okay and

[1:01:05] everything is normal well so when I was

[1:01:07] down there it was doing the conversion

[1:01:09] it was very scary because they had 10 12

[1:01:13] 599s lined up with their torque tubes

[1:01:16] and Transmissions out so these people

[1:01:18] were stuck like they couldn't still I'm

[1:01:21] waiting for 6 months a year for my car I

[1:01:23] want it back now and they come back give

[1:01:24] me my car well there it is is right

[1:01:26] there there's the transmission it's

[1:01:27] marked there there's the transaxle so

[1:01:29] they're like oh crap so then these

[1:01:30] people were stuck waiting they they did

[1:01:33] the whole backlog of cars they got it

[1:01:35] all caught up and from what I understand

[1:01:37] and what I was being told by Art was

[1:01:40] that they were going to shut down their

[1:01:42] production their conversions and focus

[1:01:44] on R&D with doing Mercy logo conversions

[1:01:47] which would be a big deal because the

[1:01:48] Delta between cors huge but I think that

[1:01:51] they were telling him that so that they

[1:01:53] could get through all the work get all

[1:01:54] the customers satisfied and then they

[1:01:56] realized that there was a bleed of money

[1:01:58] somewhere whether it be fraudulent or

[1:02:00] not where this they they were done it

[1:02:02] wasn't working but I think they told

[1:02:03] them that we're going to quit doing

[1:02:05] customer CRS for this reason and then in

[1:02:08] the middle of the night I guess they

[1:02:09] hired a couple of the people who work at

[1:02:11] eag you know behind just behind Art's

[1:02:14] back to clean out the shop entirely

[1:02:17] every piece of equipment they had a very

[1:02:19] expensive CNC machine that you normally

[1:02:21] would want to run 24 hours a day making

[1:02:23] equipment for everybody but they weren't

[1:02:25] and they kept breaking it was like 00

[1:02:26] Grand to fix and so so all those that

[1:02:29] expensive stuff maybe this is a million

[1:02:30] dollar machine I'm not sure five access

[1:02:33] Yeah clean out expensive gone and so he

[1:02:35] comes in the morning and it's it's an

[1:02:38] empty garage and this is according to

[1:02:39] Art his no no this is this is the um and

[1:02:42] there's business partners talking about

[1:02:43] it too but it was it was basically like

[1:02:45] a in there because he got partners and

[1:02:47] there was somewhere where he can do they

[1:02:48] can do an asset seizure when it's

[1:02:50] something whatever and so that's what

[1:02:52] they did and Dan's done a series of

[1:02:53] videos kind of covering so Dan was a

[1:02:55] part

[1:02:56] with eag and um he you know propped up

[1:03:00] did a lot of promotion with the business

[1:03:01] but he sort of got himself out of it to

[1:03:04] you know when they got he got other

[1:03:05] partners he was able to get himself out

[1:03:06] but he's supposed to get a commission on

[1:03:07] every single sale of a m conversion

[1:03:09] because he started the m conversion

[1:03:10] company so he's out money but I don't

[1:03:13] think he ever expected to get it

[1:03:14] honestly yeah I think yeah I think he he

[1:03:16] mentioned he so what's the latest you

[1:03:17] have you heard anything L lately are you

[1:03:19] worried to own this car now that it's

[1:03:20] been no I'm so I I really think that

[1:03:23] somebody so somebody has all the

[1:03:24] existing versions uh somebody has all

[1:03:28] all the IP someone will continue it and

[1:03:31] and there's a what is it Dr s who's

[1:03:33] doing 36 and 430s that are cheap V8 and

[1:03:35] then there Min whatever the other one is

[1:03:37] I can't remember there are a couple

[1:03:38] there's got to be somebody that's going

[1:03:40] to pick it up because it's it's already

[1:03:42] there it's already existing there's

[1:03:44] still a demand for it so well it's such

[1:03:46] a shame they could have owned that space

[1:03:47] if they had executed better but like

[1:03:50] given time for people to catch up there

[1:03:51] was real opportunity there yeah yeah MH

[1:03:53] but at least there will still be manual

[1:03:55] for

[1:03:56] about but regardless you don't have any

[1:03:59] specific Intel Beyond kind of what

[1:04:02] what's no not not really I mean little

[1:04:04] bit a little bit with art because art

[1:04:06] was texting me about it but no not not

[1:04:07] at all because he had you know he made

[1:04:09] his videos that got taken down and

[1:04:10] things so it was it was lot of drama

[1:04:12] that I was not associated with but and I

[1:04:14] actually you know paid for a spot I took

[1:04:16] over somebody's spot so it wasn't like

[1:04:17] oh let's give this influencer a free car

[1:04:19] and everybody wondered about so you you

[1:04:22] you you already had you took over his

[1:04:24] existing spot in line and I paid that's

[1:04:27] how you leap

[1:04:29] FR yes um I think DDE didn't I think

[1:04:33] they just got slotted in that got some

[1:04:35] drama because they got two cars done I

[1:04:36] think by eag so daily driven Exotics so

[1:04:40] you throwing some throwing some shade

[1:04:41] now no no I'm not at all I'm just i s

[1:04:45] the pot enough here I think but put down

[1:04:47] the ladle now um so two things what this

[1:04:50] I can't believe this 996 turbo it's a

[1:04:52] tip tip yeah 35 so I have one that that

[1:04:55] I'm almost done making into a safari

[1:04:57] that was a tip X Las Vegas ryal 146,000

[1:05:01] Mi I bought it I bought it in the 20s

[1:05:02] somewhere but the paint it had faded in

[1:05:04] the Las Vegas Sun and then they

[1:05:06] repainted it and they wanted to attract

[1:05:08] customers to rent their Las Vegas

[1:05:09] portion of1 turbo so they put glitter in

[1:05:12] it like bass booat glitter or stripper

[1:05:14] glitter in it to just attract people and

[1:05:15] that's faded it's horrendous so it's

[1:05:18] tough yeah do you have any explanation

[1:05:20] for this car why it exists no I do not

[1:05:24] uh-uh I saw it and I I saw it in an

[1:05:26] inperson you know live auction and I was

[1:05:29] like okay well I just have to own it and

[1:05:31] see what this is all about even though I

[1:05:32] had 190,000 mies this is a tip mhm they

[1:05:35] did sticks though right they did sticks

[1:05:37] yes they did stick panels I I think

[1:05:39] there are some stick panels out there

[1:05:41] how much time we got left on this

[1:05:42] auction what do you four minutes or

[1:05:44] whatever this is already a little more

[1:05:46] than what I paid for it but I'm sure I

[1:05:47] have more than this into it with repairs

[1:05:49] and things so mhm see yep I did one I

[1:05:53] reviewed one it was great the fact that

[1:05:55] the panel door

[1:05:56] a exist and B can be open from inside I

[1:05:59] mean like this thing is an insane

[1:06:01] automobile MH rear cup holders rear air

[1:06:03] conditioning I think for no no

[1:06:05] passengers yeah yeah it's very odd the

[1:06:07] door poppers which is that what's what's

[1:06:10] the is that is that the last car that

[1:06:11] has poppers probably I forgot about that

[1:06:13] on your key fob right on your key fob

[1:06:15] for side doors probably cuz it doesn't

[1:06:17] have exterior door handle cu the pan

[1:06:19] makes no sense why they just put door

[1:06:20] handles in it CU it looks cool so I did

[1:06:24] the whole Top Gear trick with it as a

[1:06:26] tribute to uh James May and there's a

[1:06:29] friend of mine in Kansas his last name

[1:06:30] ISM and so the door when you open the

[1:06:33] door it was old Meers cocktails but then

[1:06:35] when you open the door it said o

[1:06:38] and so I I did a play on it with

[1:06:40] the door I so decided to take it off for

[1:06:42] the sale like I thought people could

[1:06:43] Envision their own name or business on

[1:06:45] the side or whatever but that was that

[1:06:47] was the joke um 190,000 miles on it and

[1:06:51] I know when I bought it I had I think I

[1:06:53] had a receipt for the engine replacement

[1:06:54] they announced it as having the replace

[1:06:56] because they they love to pop the timing

[1:06:57] chains on these two L eotechs but I

[1:06:59] don't I can't find I can't find that

[1:07:00] receipt anymore yeah they're not very

[1:07:01] durable um when I was working at the

[1:07:04] Chevy store Chevy Cadillac BMW Cobalt

[1:07:07] SS's that year these which we we had

[1:07:10] some panels but no SS's and Chevy

[1:07:12] Cadillac BMW so the Cadillac store had

[1:07:15] the Northstar problem the BMW store

[1:07:19] had I mean the hottest car was the m6

[1:07:22] and we had the C6 Z6 and those were the

[1:07:24] two like

[1:07:26] and the sales guy says hey man you want

[1:07:28] to look at a Cobalt or a 760 LI right it

[1:07:31] was a fun place to be a Salesman but the

[1:07:34] ones we sold the most of obviously

[1:07:35] because were in Kansas in trucks and 07

[1:07:36] that body style the 800 had just gone

[1:07:38] away and they moved on so the new 07

[1:07:39] trucks the new 07 Escalade you were

[1:07:41] there 07 07 was my first year so it was

[1:07:44] a big year and GMAC was still V10 BMWs

[1:07:47] yes you had uh yeah the new new Tahoe

[1:07:51] had just come out right new Tahoe yeah

[1:07:53] and the Z71 Taho over there too the

[1:07:55] Escalade had just been redesigned it was

[1:07:57] a big seller oh and it was a cataly

[1:07:58] store too yeah mhm they were they were

[1:08:00] this range was 60 to 70 grand on the

[1:08:02] Escalades depending on options and then

[1:08:03] you also had the STS you had the STS we

[1:08:06] had the xrv how does a dealership like

[1:08:08] that prevent those trash cars from just

[1:08:11] piling up while you're just making money

[1:08:12] Handover fist selling trucks it was you

[1:08:14] know what I mean it was so I know that

[1:08:17] um the owner of the dealership who had a

[1:08:18] home in Arizona gave up on the xrv and

[1:08:21] just shipped it to his

[1:08:22] house um I remember that um I not that I

[1:08:26] worked for the dealership but I remember

[1:08:27] the witcha Lexus store had an LFA for

[1:08:30] almost two years and couldn't sell it um

[1:08:32] but speaking of sales oh is going $7500

[1:08:36] I mean they jumped the bit of grand and

[1:08:37] got it so all right that's dude that's

[1:08:39] the move did that on my Land Cruiser and

[1:08:41] he killed it I thought it was insane

[1:08:43] like nobody else everybody big buck con

[1:08:46] y uh what else that all um met or

[1:08:51] exceeded my expectations so thank you

[1:08:53] very much gentlemen for the sales yes

[1:08:54] all right I got a couple other questions

[1:08:56] before we go let's round this off with

[1:08:58] some final hooie questions hovie next

[1:09:00] thing to change at the farm this was

[1:09:02] from Vlad your Russian fans are watching

[1:09:04] all right next thing to change at the

[1:09:06] farm after the house garage and pond

[1:09:08] next thing to change out there um in

[1:09:11] addition to yeah everything and what

[1:09:14] else that's what they wants to know I

[1:09:17] think yeah just liveing it and finishing

[1:09:19] it out and I really and thinking about

[1:09:22] lighting and and you know how like Jay

[1:09:23] Leno has his drop light show light in

[1:09:26] the middle and stuff like that I just I

[1:09:27] really want to make that space seem

[1:09:31] special and cool and just fig figuring

[1:09:33] it out because it's I feel like it's my

[1:09:34] forever place but you want to be like a

[1:09:36] Kansas J Leno no I'm just talking about

[1:09:39] the lighting like he pays attention to

[1:09:40] the lighting and things and and it's so

[1:09:42] nice as you have this now to not like

[1:09:44] find a parking lot outside to film right

[1:09:46] right now you've talked about that the

[1:09:48] hell of the distractions and the noise

[1:09:50] and things and starting over boy isn't

[1:09:52] that the truth uh here's a question

[1:09:54] here's a hoopy question for you from

[1:09:56] John D do you have any view on the 1992

[1:09:58] Lexus

[1:10:00] SC300 no I mean not really everybody

[1:10:03] talking about super tuxedo 2JZ one with

[1:10:06] the manual they're very rare but I I had

[1:10:08] one on my dealership uh 29,000 miles

[1:10:11] that had BBS basket weaves and for OE

[1:10:15] yeah and it uh I sold it for next I it

[1:10:18] was it was still under 15 I remember

[1:10:20] this is over 10 years ago and you know

[1:10:21] what they never really went anywhere

[1:10:22] after that despite despite the fact that

[1:10:24] people talk about them like they're mhm

[1:10:26] oh here's a question from Mark what do

[1:10:27] you guys think of regular car reviews oh

[1:10:30] I love RCR yes

[1:10:32] and well I've texted him a few times

[1:10:34] I've never met him in person Nick the

[1:10:36] Roman uh is actually one of our he

[1:10:38] writes for us on cars and bids he's an

[1:10:39] auction writer for us a really wonderful

[1:10:42] person they're both I think just

[1:10:44] brilliant writ he writes the jingles he

[1:10:46] writes writes and does the jingles but

[1:10:48] they're both brilliant Brian is is great

[1:10:50] too yes he was wanting to come to Kansas

[1:10:52] and and do videos he's he's looking for

[1:10:55] collab and that so he's been reaching

[1:10:56] out to people um for that and I really

[1:10:59] hope he comes to Kansas we've talked

[1:11:00] about it brilliant writer brilliant

[1:11:02] writer Chase writes where does your

[1:11:04] obsession with gmt800 Escalades come

[1:11:06] from that was Prime season for me I mean

[1:11:10] of course the Escalade or the H2 wasn't

[1:11:12] in every episode of MTV Cribs my dad got

[1:11:15] an H2 brand new thought it was stupid it

[1:11:17] wouldn't fit in the garage the the third

[1:11:19] row seat was only one seat they didn't

[1:11:21] tell him that when it showed like what

[1:11:22] am I going to do with this did you know

[1:11:23] that so the H2 row because the spare

[1:11:26] tire took up so much of the cargo area

[1:11:28] the H2S third row was only half the

[1:11:31] cargo area the other half was the spare

[1:11:33] tire we've sold I this is I'm dead

[1:11:36] serious I was nearly in tears no that he

[1:11:38] was getting rid of that cuz I thought it

[1:11:39] was so how long did he have it less than

[1:11:41] a month because it it wouldn't fit in

[1:11:43] the garage and then the Third Road thing

[1:11:45] because we had you know by the time

[1:11:46] grandma and the kids and the dogs on the

[1:11:48] road trip like it it didn't work yeah

[1:11:50] and so he switched that forg picture a

[1:11:53] 2003 Escalade I'm getting there and then

[1:11:55] he got an Escalade Platinum this doesn't

[1:11:58] have it but you can see the track for it

[1:12:00] I see it I see exactly so you had all

[1:12:02] these cards so the Escalade Platinum was

[1:12:04] the one that that he thought okay this

[1:12:06] is the coolest thing ever was it like to

[1:12:08] grow up around such fine automobiles

[1:12:10] well he didn't realize that the they did

[1:12:11] the Platinum because the uh 07 was

[1:12:14] coming out so he bought that one uh the'

[1:12:16] 06 and paid 70 grand for it and then

[1:12:20] less than two years later they offered

[1:12:21] less it was under 30 he was like this is

[1:12:23] the most he didn't realize there was

[1:12:24] going to be a new Escalade

[1:12:26] when I didn't think that the

[1:12:27] appreciation would be that bad he said

[1:12:28] it was the most money ever lost on a car

[1:12:30] was was that one you had an SV Platinum

[1:12:33] ESV Platinum which I had eventually a

[1:12:35] rip tide blue ESV Platinum he had cool

[1:12:37] cup hold those wheels that almost looked

[1:12:39] aftermarket cuz they were so big back

[1:12:41] then of course they probably 20s my

[1:12:42] current is the factory accessory 20s

[1:12:45] that are on it that are on mine a 2005

[1:12:47] but I like the short wheelbase better

[1:12:49] just because it's so much easier to park

[1:12:50] and just get around I'm going to ask one

[1:12:53] final question okay one final question

[1:12:57] oh boy

[1:13:00] uh this is a tough one one final

[1:13:07] question are we still

[1:13:09] live

[1:13:14] okay

[1:13:16] dear

[1:13:19] hooie uh what car do you miss the

[1:13:23] most H that you've sold

[1:13:27] the SLS was a tough

[1:13:29] sale it was it was a tough sale happed

[1:13:31] why did you sell that car did you get

[1:13:34] yourself into another another Financial

[1:13:36] dog it's it's a it's a lot to redo a

[1:13:39] house and had a barn and all that stuff

[1:13:41] and uh April 15th is coming up which I

[1:13:44] do have to write a check that's H's

[1:13:45] nightmare every year so I have to write

[1:13:48] a check to the government he's making

[1:13:50] some cash doing this and it was just

[1:13:53] like oh but here's here's the thing I

[1:13:54] got I got the SLR or SLS in 2020 I got

[1:13:58] the SLR in 2022 I spent so almost two

[1:14:02] years with the SLR now I'd go into the

[1:14:05] garage the two are right next to each

[1:14:07] other I'd go in the SLR nine times out

[1:14:09] of 10 and that's what I'd realized even

[1:14:12] though they're very different and you

[1:14:14] know one's a lot more cross country

[1:14:15] usable the other one's like a it just

[1:14:17] felt so much more special to get in the

[1:14:19] SLR why did you not I made you a very

[1:14:23] reasonable offer to buy your SLR

[1:14:25] there's a here's an interesting uh a

[1:14:27] half price yeah yeah half price for a

[1:14:31] for a 5,000 mile SLR yeah didn't it have

[1:14:33] an electrical fire it has a car it's not

[1:14:36] an accident on the Carfax but it says

[1:14:38] like damage reported because they turned

[1:14:40] it in on insurance when the battery

[1:14:41] shorted out in the trunk so that does

[1:14:43] not make it

[1:14:45] $150,000 that that's like a salvage

[1:14:47] title price this is like every one of

[1:14:48] our sellers who submits a car to us and

[1:14:50] it's like hey man there's four accidents

[1:14:51] on the Carfax and it's got a it's got a

[1:14:53] salvage title dude no it was just a Hal

[1:14:55] storm and we got them all they got all

[1:14:56] the dents pulled out it was really no

[1:14:58] big deal everything's good there was a

[1:15:00] fire admit there was a fire it the the

[1:15:03] the fire department was

[1:15:05] called and the fire was out before they

[1:15:08] showed up there was some damage to only

[1:15:12] the wiring harness and that was a big

[1:15:15] deal because they had to replace the

[1:15:16] wiring harness in the car so it was it

[1:15:18] was a take the car you got a you got a

[1:15:20] bad you got a bad Carfax fire damaged

[1:15:23] SLR with a wiring harness replacement

[1:15:26] after the fact yeah but what did I offer

[1:15:28] you 150 maybe 127 you should have taken

[1:15:31] the 150 wonderful but salvage title high

[1:15:34] mileage coups bring 150 so like you're

[1:15:38] on the same Planet so is that true yeah

[1:15:41] I can get a bad title one for 150 there

[1:15:44] was one that I could have B and I was

[1:15:46] kind of frustrated because I got this

[1:15:47] Roadster and then oh you're months three

[1:15:50] months later I I got that was offered to

[1:15:53] me like oh that would have been perfect

[1:15:54] but it's okay yeah you why didn't you

[1:15:56] offer it to me I didn't think you'd want

[1:15:58] it you never you don't buy bad history

[1:16:01] cars as far as I know I want an SLR but

[1:16:03] I don't want to spend what they cost cuz

[1:16:04] I don't think they're worth what they

[1:16:05] cost really you still think that cuz

[1:16:07] it's a tip it's a tip SL with some

[1:16:09] Wheels torque conver like my Roadster

[1:16:12] was a almost $500,000 uh sticker on dude

[1:16:15] your Bentley aour was a 400 sticker and

[1:16:18] and it's worth get but the Bentley aour

[1:16:20] wasn't um you know in every magazine

[1:16:22] cover with a next to an F50 or you know

[1:16:25] like they were talking about all covers

[1:16:28] there's the SLR the Bugatti vron the

[1:16:29] crer GT this is the only one of those

[1:16:31] like oh my God this is the most amazing

[1:16:33] halo car ever of the mid 2000s that's

[1:16:35] not a million plus well all the other

[1:16:37] ones were better but that fairness right

[1:16:40] but but but the market reflects that

[1:16:42] it's his point and to your point if I

[1:16:45] saw one driving down the road like you

[1:16:46] made I would lose it just never ever see

[1:16:50] yeah see those I used at Aon had a white

[1:16:53] one he used drive around all the time
