[06:54] me live for the end of

[07:02] my

[07:06] 4Runner

[07:08] auction and paste. There it

[07:12] is. And then if I'm

[07:15] smart, select it all. Copy it. Post. And

[07:19] we'll do that again

[07:22] for Twitter and Instagram. Although

[07:24] probably with Instagram maybe we'll just

[07:26] use a live video with that or excuse me,

[07:28] Tik Tok. Best of luck, Mr. Regular. Do

[07:29] you ever plan on doing another

[07:31] motorcycle review? Yes. In fact, I'm

[07:33] finishing it today. Uh the video that's

[07:36] going to come out on Monday is a

[07:39] motorcycle. We're returning to

[07:40] motorcycles. The motorcycle in question

[07:42] is a

[07:44] 1991 Honda

[07:47] CB750 that has been turned into a cafe

[07:51] racer. I have wanted a cafe racer since

[07:54] I started riding motorcycles. And I talk

[07:56] about a little bit about this in the

[07:59] video. Um, I started riding motorcycles

[08:02] in 19

[08:03] No, well, okay. My very first bike was a

[08:06] little scooter that I bought against my

[08:08] parents wishes with no title. It was a

[08:10] Yamaha Champ, I think it was also called

[08:12] the

[08:16] Chappie. And it that was back in the

[08:21] year

[08:22] 2000. And then in 2007, I bought my very

[08:26] first motorcycle, also against my

[08:27] parents wishes, but I wasn't living at

[08:29] home at the time. So that was a Honda

[08:31] CM250C. And around that time is when

[08:33] Cafe Racers started coming out. and uh

[08:36] were sort of the silver age of cafe

[08:38] racers especially in the United States

[08:40] and Canada and I really wanted one back

[08:43] then but then they were so cool and I

[08:45] think now we're in the bronze age in

[08:47] 2025 of cafe racers where they're no

[08:49] longer hip and they're returning to a

[08:53] style of like dirty street racers which

[08:55] I love because that was the original

[08:57] intent of a cafe racer. It was a

[08:59] standard or a cruiser that was turned

[09:00] into a race bike and they were nasty

[09:03] machines. So, the cafe racers that we

[09:06] have now are more in tune to what they

[09:08] originally were, a cheap way to go fast.

[09:12] And that's what I have uh down on my

[09:14] back porch right now. It's red and white

[09:16] with the checkerboard pattern on it with

[09:18] dropped bars and the race seat. Oh, it's

[09:22] fantastic. I'm in I'm in riding it

[09:24] almost every day when the weather's

[09:26] good. Uh Val Cat says, "Any plans for

[09:29] another meetup and car show?" Probably

[09:31] at Fidelia. Yeah.

[09:35] We've gotten too big for um too many

[09:38] games, so there won't be a car meet

[09:40] there, but uh there will be uh something

[09:44] at

[09:45] Philadelphia. Um

[09:49] uh buy my Jeep. When's the VFR review?

[09:52] Oh, I'd love to get my hands on a VFR.

[09:54] Um

[09:56] uh the Lion King says, "Bring it out."

[09:58] Not sure what that means. It's all about

[09:59] the adventure bikes. Yeah, I I see a lot

[10:01] of people with money still doing the BMW

[10:03] thing. Triumph also has one as well. Is

[10:06] that the Triumph Tiger? Uh Eric Bernard

[10:08] says, "Where is PA? Are you? I'm located

[10:11] in Sailorsburg." I'm in the Philly

[10:12] suburbs now. So that's where I am. Oh,

[10:17] and I need to go

[10:19] [Music]

[10:21] to

[10:22] [Music]

[10:23] Twitter X. Uh Matt, thank you for the

[10:27] donation. Says, "Are you the big lot?"

[10:29] No, I'm not the big lot. I'm not. I did

[10:32] talk to him on the phone one time. Great

[10:33] guy. If not, then they're heavily

[10:34] influenced by you. Yeah. Had to lay down

[10:37] from the clipins. I love that

[10:42] guy. Posting on

[10:52] X. Um, you're in the portaotti at the

[10:55] north end of campus. Yep. Andy says,

[10:58] "Did you ever get to choose? Did you get

[11:00] to choose your persona and how long how

[11:02] did it end up being a bird?" So, remote

[11:04] here

[11:06] is a tribute to the people who got me uh

[11:10] back into the fandom after a long ways

[11:14] who uh whose characters are also birds.

[11:17] It's uh my friend uh who's an artist

[11:20] named Pulsar who also designed the RCR

[11:22] logo you see here.

[11:25] And uh another content creator, Adler

[11:29] the Eagle. You may know him.

[11:32] And who was the

[11:35] third? Who was the third person who also

[11:37] had

[11:38] [Music]

[11:41] a Maybe it was just those two. There had

[11:45] to be a

[11:47] third. Can't remember.

[11:52] Anyway, so I made a bird uh costume

[11:56] that's sort of a

[11:59] uh a tribute to them. I have no

[12:03] emotional attachment to Remote as a

[12:05] character. I see him simply as a as some

[12:08] people are very attached to to their uh

[12:10] personas that they make, but to me it's

[12:12] just a role that I play. Um uh remote is

[12:16] finance bird or uh

[12:20] um since since it's a blank character uh

[12:23] you can dress him up any way you like

[12:25] and sort of change his look. Um dang,

[12:27] I'm friends with Pulsar. You know his

[12:29] stuff. Yeah, he's a great guy. Also big

[12:31] into

[12:32] motorcycles. His bikes have been on RCR

[12:34] before.

[12:39] Um, uh, drove through Pennsylvania for

[12:41] the first time recently. Was suddenly

[12:43] very obvious and amazing how it would

[12:45] be, uh, uh, it would be like to drive a

[12:47] Miata. Yeah, a Miata in rural

[12:48] Pennsylvania is fantastic. How do we

[12:50] submit for a regular review? I have a

[12:52] you have a Lucid Air. Holy [ __ ] You

[12:54] live in Delaware, uh, but from Bucks

[12:56] County? Yeah. Uh, send me a DM just on

[12:58] on Instagram is honestly the best way.

[13:01] Send me a DM on Instagram. Regular car

[13:02] reviews on Instagram. And if you don't

[13:04] have Instagram, uh, just

[13:06] [email protected]. Send me an email

[13:08] that way because we never I I see Lucid

[13:10] Airs. They're super weird. They're big.

[13:13] They're big. I like them from a

[13:15] distance, but I'd love to get my hands

[13:16] on

[13:34] going to go for. Right now it's at uh

[13:38] $13,000. Uh, Christopher says, "You're

[13:40] doing it now." Thank

[13:42] you. I should go to

[18:29] [Music]

[18:32] auction. Share. Okay. Uh, didn't RCR

[18:36] review a

[18:38] lot? Did we do a lot? We did a Yugo and

[18:41] we did What did we do in Seattle? We did

[18:44] something.

[18:46] Am I like overexposed? I feel like I'm

[18:49] overexposed.

[19:19] there. Think the light I I need like

[19:21] it's weird like I have lighting there. I

[19:23] think I need like another studio light

[19:24] like right

[19:25] here. Uh when is RCR coming to Namibia?

[19:29] I don't know, man.

[19:31] Um, will RCR re review my sourdough?

[19:35] Like sourdough

[19:37] bread? Uh, Angry Shoe Box says,

[19:40] "Forrunner looks great. No peeling, no

[19:41] clear coat, no brake dust. Wheels

[19:43] usually see." Yeah. Well, thank you.

[19:45] That makes me feel happy. Current bid is

[19:47] still

[19:51] $13,000. That eagle is the most unique

[19:53] persona I've ever seen. I think you need

[19:55] an AMC.

[19:56] Oh, like that'd be funny. Just to get

[20:00] like an AMC tank top and wear it over

[20:02] it. You could do

[20:03] that. Um, if people would get that, you

[20:07] know, some people would probably see the

[20:08] AMC logo and they're like, "What? AMC

[20:11] theaters." Mike Maverick says, "I'm a

[20:13] bird and I want you to drive a reliable

[20:15] car, not a Dodge Nitro." Yeah. GH. Um,

[20:19] Matt says, "You have a following in

[20:21] Bangladesh." Funny enough. Really?

[20:23] Bangladesh? I'm flattered to hear that.

[20:26] Anyway, Darn says, "Third gen, best

[20:29] gen." Of course, it is. 19 minutes to

[20:32] go. People are hanging back on this

[20:34] auction. Uh, no one in the last uh

[20:37] moments are actually bidding on it, but

[20:40] you know, it all comes all comes down to

[20:42] the last 10

[20:43] minutes. How much would you hope to get

[20:46] out of the 4ERunner? I'd hope to get my

[20:48] money back, but again, I bought this

[20:50] car. I'll tell you how much I bought it

[20:52] for after the auction close.

[20:55] But I bought that a I bought the car in

[20:59] 2021, which is at the height of the

[21:01] pandemic, at the height of the over um

[21:04] the overpriceness of uh of used

[21:09] cars. But when I needed a new camera car

[21:11] and I knew I wanted a 4erunner and I

[21:14] knew I wanted a third gen because it

[21:15] would fit in my garage. And then I saw

[21:18] this one. When I bought it, it had

[21:19] 75,000 miles on it, man. So, it was

[21:22] nice. It was a really nice

[21:25] car. Uh, Proigan Porman says, "Where

[21:28] near Philly did you move?" I'm in

[21:30] southern Montgomery

[21:31] County. I'm not going to tell you my

[21:35] town but

[21:39] um, who and yeah, he hide the pandemic

[21:42] and Overlanding. Yeah, it it was it was

[21:44] a lot. We'll see how close it gets to

[21:47] that. And if and if it surpasses it,

[21:49] hey, fantastic. And if not, well, the

[21:51] truck the truck or SUV, whatever you

[21:53] want to call it, it made its

[21:54] money and uh I just don't drive it

[21:57] anymore. So, regulars should come to

[22:00] Northern Europe and drive some of the

[22:02] 90s runabouts that we have lying around

[22:03] here. Old Audi's, Astros, Vectors, old

[22:05] pat, old Ford Galaxies. Yeah, the Ford

[22:08] Galaxy minivan. I remember seeing like

[22:10] one or two of them in the

[22:14] UK. Which countries don't have a car

[22:16] culture? It's a good question. I mean,

[22:19] people like cars

[22:22] everywhere. Oh [ __ ] Amler cars and

[22:25] coffee has to be damn near home for you.

[22:27] Amler, little Amler has cars and coffee.

[22:29] I recognize Amler from uh the

[22:32] landline. When I say landline, I don't

[22:34] mean internet. That is the Lansdale

[22:36] Doorstown line that I take into the

[22:38] city. And by city, I mean

[22:41] Philly. What? Uh something something.

[22:44] For a couple grand more, you could

[22:46] almost get a new Hilux Champ with a a

[22:48] street food kitchen.

[22:50] Nice. Amler cars show was in May. Ah,

[22:54] okay.

[22:58] Uh oh, Mat with a uh super chat. Thank

[23:01] you so much. You should go to Katie's

[23:03] Cars and Coffee near DC. I've been to

[23:04] Katie's Cars and Coffee uh in before

[23:07] times. Uh I liked it. lot of lot of

[23:10] pricey stuff there and uh a lot of

[23:12] people. The thing I remember most about

[23:15] Katie's Cars and Coffee was there was

[23:18] this one guy making content. He was

[23:20] filming. He was using his

[23:22] phone. No, wait. I'm thinking of

[23:25] something else, but it's still Katie's

[23:26] Cars and Coffee. Um, at K's Cars and

[23:28] Coffee, someone wrote rode up there with

[23:31] a Ferrari F40

[23:34] EO and there was like a line of people

[23:39] waiting to pose and do this in front of

[23:42] it.

[23:47] Gosh, I remember someone posting a

[23:49] picture at the New York Auto Show next

[23:52] to a

[23:53] Rolls-Royce, but they were just there

[23:55] with their phone and poof, this bottle

[23:58] is a champagne flute. They got a

[23:59] champagne flute and just posted a

[24:02] picture of the champagne flute in front

[24:04] of the the flying lady on the

[24:06] Rolls-Royce. And I'm like, I'll bet you

[24:10] have I'll bet you're so not funny. I'll

[24:13] bet you're a boring guy at every party

[24:15] if you're gonna do

[24:16] that.

[24:19] Um, 80s and Morris says, "Hello from

[24:21] Athens Greece."

[24:24] Hello. Uh, can agree on overpaying for

[24:26] pretty much uh historic

[24:29] cars.

[24:30] Um, I bought two, one in 2021, one in

[24:33] 22. 10,000 for each dealership. At least

[24:36] there was a Crown Vic and a Sienna. Both

[24:38] around 70,000 miles. Cool.

[24:41] Uh, Ivan Ivan 2 says, "I grew up in

[24:43] rougher areas of the United States, but

[24:45] whenever I see fancy vehicles, it just

[24:47] seems like an invitation to get

[24:48] carjacked. When you drive nice vehicles,

[24:50] do you worry about the attention they

[24:53] attract?" I've never had nice nice cars,

[24:57] like really aspirational

[25:01] vehicles. Maybe my crazy

[25:05] taxi. I mean, the most expensive vehicle

[25:08] I own is my Kia, but that's just because

[25:10] I bought it new. So, and that's just a

[25:13] Kia.

[25:16] So, and the flashiest thing I ever

[25:19] had, the flashiest thing I have is

[25:22] probably Crazy Taxi, but that's not

[25:26] something I mean, it attracts a lot of

[25:28] attention, but it's never really

[25:29] attracted negative attention or or or

[25:31] jealousy.

[25:35] Um, I suppose the most Let me answer

[25:38] this. Super chat says, "Dave, the Primis

[25:40] Plangler freaking rules." You mean the

[25:42] Primly Plymouth Prowler? The Plymouth

[25:46] Prangler. I' How funny would that be if

[25:48] there was a real car called the Prim

[25:50] Plymouth

[25:51] Prangler? Um, what are you currently

[25:54] driving most as of

[25:56] late? Um, my Honda today. I don't drive

[26:01] it every day, but it's such a good car

[26:03] for Philadelphia. It It's I did an

[26:06] airport run in it. Now, I don't drive

[26:08] the Today every day, you know, it's a

[26:10] tongue twister. Prefer that car. Let's

[26:12] just call it the JA4. I don't drive the

[26:14] JA4 every single day, but um I mean, I

[26:18] still drive my Kia all the time. I mean,

[26:20] that's just the daily, you know, you

[26:22] plug in the car and it goes. Um, another

[26:24] super chat. Michael Rosenberg. I was

[26:26] supposed to answer some other question.

[26:27] Uh, Eric Buell is gonna be the host of

[26:29] Honor at Radner Hunt Club in September.

[26:32] Do you ever go to an event like that? I

[26:33] don't really go to car show events

[26:36] because I'm spoiled and I like to drive

[26:41] cars. Standing around them and talking

[26:43] about

[26:49] them. I'm not a big firearm guy, but

[26:53] it's sort of

[26:55] like imagine going to a range and

[26:58] watching other people practice

[27:00] marksmanship, but you just get to sit on

[27:02] the bench and watch with earplugs

[27:06] in. That's what a car show feels like to

[27:08] me.

[27:17] Um, Eric, if a Prangler came up on Cars

[27:19] and Biz, I would buy buy it immediately.

[27:21] Nice. Um, Prowler meets Jeep Wrangler.

[27:24] The all newer. I like

[27:28] that. Um, Honda every other day. Hey

[27:32] there, Birdhead. Yes, Remote is here

[27:35] being a

[27:36] co-host. We are at 12 minutes 47

[27:40] seconds.

[27:41] So far, we did someone uh the new high

[27:45] bidder. It is now at

[27:49] $13,100 with uh 12 minutes 36 seconds

[27:53] left. The firing range cucks share

[27:56] event. Exactly. Yeah.

[28:02] There's always the one little kid at the

[28:04] uh at the at the range trying to hold

[28:08] the uh ear protection that are too big

[28:10] for his ears to the side of his head. He

[28:12] doesn't know why he's here. He can't do

[28:14] anything. He just has to sit there and

[28:16] be

[28:18] good. Uh pro wagon performances. Lots of

[28:21] Pennsylvania is depressing. Not wrong,

[28:23] but there's plenty of good and great car

[28:24] culture. Oh yeah, for sure.

[28:26] Yeah. I mean, the joke is outside

[28:29] outside of the major cities. It's all

[28:31] just

[28:33] uh you know a car show was just a

[28:36] million

[28:38] Corvettes. Andrew Oven says Allentown is

[28:40] my hometown. I would love to move back.

[28:43] Would you

[28:44] know? I'm thinking this a is that my

[28:46] audio levels okay? I feel like it could

[28:49] be a little louder. What do you think? I

[28:51] don't want to have too much audio hiss

[28:53] coming through the ATM, but what do you

[28:55] think? Based on the old cars and bids, I

[28:57] think 13,000 is pretty close to the

[28:59] price these days. Fingers crossed for

[29:00] 15.

[29:02] Yeah.

[29:04] Um, is he going to say how much he paid

[29:07] for it after how little he paid for it

[29:09] after it sells? Uh, I don't think I'm

[29:12] going to do that.

[29:14] Um, audio is lovely. Okay, I'm a little

[29:17] quiet. Okay, let me up this a little

[29:20] bit.

[29:32] There might be a little uh analog

[29:35] hiss. That was three taps on the

[29:39] ATM. Some hiss, but it's fine. Just eat

[29:42] the

[29:44] mic.

[29:46] H. This probably peaks it. This is

[29:49] probably way too much

[29:51] audio. Way too much gain. It's in the

[29:54] red. Yes. Very minimal hiss. That's

[29:58] better. Am I blowing out the mic by

[30:01] doing this? Peak content. Okay.

[30:05] Yeah. Yeah. Too loud. Okay. Down it

[30:19] goes. So there we go. This is pro. Well,

[30:21] this is almost pretty much what we had

[30:22] before.

[30:24] If I peak the Oh, I see. I see what's

[30:27] going on. The ATM is doing its own

[30:30] modulation.

[30:32] Interesting.

[30:35] Okay. Too much

[30:37] again.

[30:38] Yeah. Interesting. Interesting.

[30:41] Interesting. Volume is better.

[30:44] Okay. Em uh Ransom says, "Are you going

[30:47] to regret selling

[30:49] it?" Yep.

[30:53] I'm going to miss the

[30:54] 4Runner. I miss a lot of the cars I've

[30:57] had. I don't

[30:59] miss the

[31:01] Falcon. It

[31:04] was a big headache at the end because it

[31:07] had so many weird parts and when

[31:10] something went wrong, uh, you had to

[31:13] remember what type of part you put in

[31:15] there. I don't really I don't miss it.

[31:18] No, cuz I realized that that car was

[31:21] just too much modification for it to be

[31:23] a fun

[31:26] car. I

[31:28] miss Yeah, I miss my Honda

[31:33] Fit, but that started getting

[31:35] uncomfortable for long

[31:37] trips. I miss

[31:40] my Subaru Forester. That thing was

[31:44] everything. It did everything great

[31:45] except for gas miles, but that thing

[31:47] just sort of rusted

[31:49] away. Uh, I missed my MR2 a lot, but

[31:53] also I didn't drive it because it was

[31:55] too nice. I was afraid of uh getting it

[31:59] banged up and also intimidated

[32:04] by Is the audio synced on

[32:12] this? Are we synced?

[32:14] Or is this not

[32:18] synced? Let me know if this is

[32:21] this I'm watching

[32:24] my levels and I'm not sure if this is

[32:27] it's close enough.

[32:29] Okay. All

[32:37] right. Not very sing. Anyway, now great.

[32:40] Your hair off. Great.

[32:44] Wonderful. Um, off by about a quarter of

[32:47] a second. That's That's a ton. I'm so

[32:50] sorry. Video is slightly ahead, which

[32:52] means audio is lagging

[32:56] behind. So, we have two different

[33:00] sources. We

[33:10] have so the video coming out of the

[33:13] camera. Well, we're going to use

[33:15] different cameras eventually. Maybe

[33:16] that'll fix the sinking problem. I don't

[33:19] know. Uh, what are you going to replace

[33:22] the 4ERunner with?

[33:24] Nothing. No, I'm thinning the herd. I

[33:28] want to get down to two cars. Right now,

[33:30] I have four. I have the 4ERunner.

[33:33] 4Erunner right there. I have my daily,

[33:37] which is the Kia. I have the other

[33:39] daily, which is the which is the Honda

[33:42] today. And then I have the fun car, the

[33:44] crazy taxi, even though the the the

[33:46] Honda today is also the fun car.

[33:49] So, this we use the Kia now as the

[33:52] camera car. So the old camera car that

[33:56] just

[33:57] sits and it's not financially wise to

[34:00] hang on to it.

[34:02] So says do not sell the taxi. No, it's

[34:04] going to be a long time before I sell

[34:08] crazy taxi. That thing's a

[34:10] delight.

[34:14] Um and then the next thing to sell would

[34:17] be the uh Honda today.

[34:23] Um, I like it.

[34:25] It's if I feel like driving somewhere

[34:28] where I know I'm not going to get public

[34:29] charging, then I just drive the Honda

[34:31] today and it's fine. Um,

[34:35] and but eventually I'm not I'm not

[34:38] married to the Honda today because it

[34:40] was just sort of a yeah, I guess

[34:42] purchase. It's it's a lot of fun because

[34:44] I don't really care about the car that

[34:46] much. I just sort of shift it and drive

[34:48] it and I don't dole attention onto it.

[34:51] It's fun.

[34:54] Um, did you solely buy the 4Runner to be

[34:56] a camera car originally? Yes. And the

[34:59] reason it was because it has that

[35:00] rolling rear window that goes back down.

[35:03] And that was the original way we filmed

[35:05] stuff. We ratchet strapped a tripod. In

[35:07] fact, the camera that's filming us right

[35:09] now, the the Canon XA60 was our uh the

[35:13] camera that filmed the show.

[35:18] So,

[35:20] uh, we filmed out the back window down

[35:23] with the back window down. We got some

[35:26] nice depth of field. The one limitation

[35:29] was you couldn't really pull the car up

[35:32] next to the 4Runner. You were sort of

[35:34] limited to where it could because you

[35:36] had to keep the camera's field of view

[35:39] within the back

[35:41] window. And also Nick who operated the

[35:45] camera for the ro roll rolling shots. He

[35:48] had to just live with whatever weather

[35:50] was outside the car and also the wind

[35:53] that would come in. Nick and I couldn't

[35:55] talk to each other even though we were

[35:57] only a few feet away because all the

[35:59] noise that would come

[36:01] in. Once DJI came out with the Osmo 3

[36:04] Pocket, that thing you just vacuum cup

[36:07] to the outside of the car with a mount

[36:09] and that thing films backwards to the

[36:11] side. It tracks. Nick can be inside the

[36:14] car in the cold and he can be inside

[36:16] enjoying air conditioning in the hot.

[36:19] So, a $800 camera did the job of a

[36:23] $13,000

[36:25] SUV. So, why am I holding on to the

[36:29] car? Someone else deserves

[36:31] it. Um, yeah. Andy says, "We're down to

[36:35] the last four minutes. Let's see if

[36:36] there will be a bidding war in the last

[36:38] three." In fact, I should

[36:41] uh get on Tik Tok and tell people we're

[36:44] doing this

[36:53] here. Jake says, "Do you think that the

[36:56] mention that a car was reviewed and

[36:57] owned by RCR has a noticeable effect on

[37:00] cars and brid's auction price?"

[37:04] If it's I think so because if it's

[37:07] enough that the people at Cars and Bids

[37:11] will mention

[37:12] that it has it's it's a nonzero

[37:17] percentage and I think

[37:19] uh I think that's fair to say. I think

[37:22] it's making a difference in a positive

[37:24] way, but we don't know uh how much

[38:01] Okay, we're uh telling Tik Tok to get in

[38:05] here. Will you review some Jaguar XJS

[38:08] like the 1994 1998 X3? I think we did

[38:12] like a million years ago.

[38:15] Ian says, "Once the car is sold, will

[38:16] you tell much how much you originally

[38:18] bought it for?" Yes, I

[38:21] will. So, we're I'm filming Tik Tok now.

[38:25] So, Tik Tok, you um I'm just filming the

[38:28] chat. So, so the chat itself is live on

[38:30] Tik Tok. Um when this is over, find the

[38:34] best uh car for that amount on cars and

[38:36] bids. Well, I'm being responsible with

[38:39] the money that this auction uh will

[38:41] bring. It's all going to get thrown at

[38:43] the principle of my mortgage because

[38:44] that's a responsible thing to

[38:47] do. Hello Tik Tok. Yes, hello Tik Tok. A

[38:51] bunch of people are joining on Tik Tok.

[43:05] pinged for the uh uh winning fee. So,

[43:11] it's they're not going to get pinged for

[44:02] Please let us know if you have Okay, so

[44:04] I don't have his uh his info right about

[44:07] now. Andy says, "Are you going to

[44:09] disclose the price now or after?" I

[44:11] will. I paid $16,000 for that. So, I am

[44:15] taking a loss of

[44:18] $3,000. So, I took a loss on it, but

[44:21] again, I bought this car at the height

[44:22] of the pandemic in 2021.

[44:25] So, I wasn't really expecting to make my

[44:29] money back, but you know, that's that

[44:31] car has produced more than $3,000 worth

[44:34] of content for me, so it's

[44:37] fair.

[44:39] Yep. Yeah. Ask him if he found this

[44:42] because of my YouTube channel.

[44:44] Yeah, 3,000 after five years of

[44:46] ownership. Not too

[44:50] bad. Brent R. State says, "I paid 16,000

[44:53] for mine as well."

[44:56] Yep. The reason I paid 16,000 is because

[44:59] that was the asking price at the little

[45:01] car dealership where I originally found

[45:02] this thing and I didn't feel like

[45:05] negotiating with him because I knew what

[45:06] it was and I knew I wanted it. And yeah,

[45:10] Steuart show says a $5,000 pre-

[45:12] pandemic. Don't you know that? Yep. How

[45:14] many miles did I put on it? Uh, what?

[45:18] 75

[45:21] 75 8 75

[45:25] 8593. So, I put

[45:27] on like 1,00 like I put on like 13,000

[45:31] miles in four

[45:34] years. It's the Castanza says, "Yeah,

[45:37] you're OG. You remember the Red Falcon

[45:38] on this channel?" Yep. the Vagabond

[45:41] Falcon. Money goes, but memories stay. I

[45:43] said it was worth it. Yep. All right.

[45:46] All right. That's our live stream. Thank

[45:48] you for watching. I'm going to go back

[45:51] to work and uh finish editing

[45:55] the Cafe Racer video because that needs

[45:58] to get done. and then possibly tomorrow

[46:02] uh record my narrative

[46:06] uh for the next the video after next

[46:08] which is we we got our hands on a Ford K

[46:11] or Ford CA the Ford KA someone imported

[46:15] one of those from the UK into the United

[46:17] States and we got to drive one because

[46:19] we missed it when we were in the UK we

[46:21] didn't get to get one like we did like

[46:24] and people were like yelling us when we

[46:25] did the UK trip like how could you come

[46:27] to the UK and not do a Ford car

[46:28] everybody remembers those things

[46:29] Everybody's driven on them like no one

[46:31] offered one. So, or maybe someone did or

[46:34] we couldn't fit it into our schedule,

[46:35] but now we got one and it's even fun

[46:37] funner to drive one in the United

[46:39] States. All right, guys. Have a great

[46:41] day. Thank you for watching. Thanks for

[46:42] liking RCR. Bye.
