Hello everyone! I've been a lifelong car lover since I was 5 years old, when my Dad took me to see a Camaro Z28 in a dealership showroom. I stared at it in amazement and thought "Wow, what is this?" It was at that moment I fell in love with cars forever.
I've been detailing cars as a hobby for over 25 years. I own several cars but I get bored easily, so I rent cool cars to keep life interesting! I also like doing basic maintenance on cars and of course driving cool cars, and I want to share my knowledge, experience and adventures with you. Feel free to post any type of car question on my videos, or email me directly.
Welcome, and enjoy!

Porsche 987 Cayman S Review - The Best Sports Car Ever?
Is there a better car for the money than a 987.1 Cayman S? Values have risen, but a nice example will still only cost you about $30,000 and change. For what this car delivers, that's incredible! It has it all: looks, handling, acceleration, a great exhaust note, and so much more. This is not a car that is obsessed with 0-60 times, it's a car that does EVERYTHING well, a beautifully balanced and well rounded car that has pretty much zero flaws. Other than a stiff, choppy ride sometimes, which you'd expect in a light, short-wheelbase, mid-engine car, the Cayman S is as close to perfection as you'll get.
Buy one soon while they're still cheap! That's my plan, anyway.

2007 Aston Martin Vantage Review: An Affordable, Beautiful, Underwhelming Exotic Car
มุมมอง 1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Check out my latest video where I review a 2008 Porsche 987 Cayman S! th-cam.com/video/CfCJiaxbjAA/w-d-xo.html The Aston Martin Vantage is a sexy, cheap and wonderful sounding exotic car. So should you buy one? Not so fast. While it has many pros, it has many cons as well such as lack of power, a 6-speed manual transmission that is very notchy, and a 3,600 pound curb weight that makes it cumber...

How to Dry Your Car With Water - Ceramic Coating Required!
Hands down the best car i have ever owned. i'm holdong on to mine for as long as i can drive it.
Recently bought a 2007 Cayman S manual. Hard to convey how amazing these cars are in video. The manual shift in these are extremely forgiving, hadn't driven a manual in probably 20+ years and immediately picked it up in this car. Once I test drove it I had to buy it. Bought this vehicle for the Porsche brand, styling (looks amazing still), hydraulic steering, manual transmission and the 3.4 flat6 engine sound is amazing. Downshifting it to get revs above 4000 and punching it is intoxicating (upgraded soul exhaust).
Well said! A perfect description of the 987.1 experience. Congrats on your purchase! I might follow in your footsteps. The car is just too good to not own one.
I'm glad you didn't say to combine vinegar and baking soda like all the other vids i've seen from 'appliance professionals'.
Your review is spot on, we own a sr and lr model 3, quite different driving characters and personally I like the sr best for handling.
I think its trying to be the more luxurious version of the Avalon and considering how smoothly Avalons drive that is a hard bar to reach lol
@@axeandace7728 Great point.
@@marclovescars i do still think it looks gorgeous on the higher trims, i do miss the avalon though
Looks good!!!
I agree!
Do you still have it?
unfortunately no, sold it 2 years ago. it was an incredible SUV, but it was way bigger than my family needed, also the poor gas mileage was a factor. We got a midsize SUV with a four-cylinder turbo that just fits our needs better. The MDX was so great though.
Should you buy one? Absolutely YES is you want to spend double what you paid for it in servicing costs in the first 2 years of ownership.
Please find me an example of where this actually happened. $70,000 in service in the first 2 years? Even a bore-scored, IMS failed engine wouldn’t come close to that. I know dozens of people who own 987 Caymans with minimal service costs. But that’s for nice examples. To your point though, and I should have mentioned this, never buy a Porsche or any exotic car without getting a PPI. That has saved me multiple times.
I always keep in mind the cost to keep it on the road. The mid engine Porches cost a lot for everything. An oil change is 500+ and will take several hours. Any type of work cost a lot because of how hard everything is to get to. To each their own tho. They are nice.
I agree, maintenance gets pricey, but they are very reliable cars that can take a beating. There are tons of independent shops that can service them too. Compare it to my previous Aston Martin (for example) or other comparable sports cars (front, rear or mid-engine) and I think the maintenance costs are reasonable.
How the hell does it take several hours? I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
@@cartere9981 I had the same thought. It’s a drain plug and oil filter, both on the bottom of the engine I believe. Seems pretty doable.
@@marclovescars exactly, no harder then my Acura tsx lmao or really any car
@@cartere9981 Yep you nailed it. I’m sure if he’s taking his to a Porsche dealer though they tell him “It’s super difficult, you better let us handle it.” Dealers have been known to do that. 😂
Why is it smoking?
The car is running, cold start, so water vapor is coming out.

I’m gonna learn to fix my own cars like my dad and then just get this beauty and then fix it myself. Like 99% of Aston owners keep their cars well maintained so like… I only have to change the fluids and also fix some parts. And it should be cheap

Great video. FYI 997s have over 2” shorter wheelbase.
Wow, you’re right! That seems crazy, but it makes sense. Rear engine vs. mid engine. Maybe shorter overall length is what I was feeling. And a much lighter car too.
@@marclovescars yup! I was shocked when I found that out too. Less mass behind you.
Hello ❤
It's not real miles. 20 miles actual to get home. 47 miles tesla😊
Just use the steamer done ✅
Tried that with my McCulloch steam cleaner, with various scrub brush attachments. Didn’t do much, the black stains were too set in.
Why would you not go to a 10G 20A extension cord?
I did, bought one soon after this video. Safer, and the increased gauge, conductivity and thermal management got me to 6 miles per hour of charge.
I so would love a Tesla if insurance rates didn't cost as much as the payments.
Fair point, very high insurance costs. Though even my gas cars’ insurance costs have skyrocketed (I live in CA) but the Tesla is my highest, even though it’s my least valuable car (lowest market value).
I hope that’s not the only way because it would be nuts
Agreed. You can name the sensors to something you’d recognize, I’m just showing how to locate a sensor if you didn’t give them custom names, basically the way the system comes from the factory. Naming the sensors is the logical choice.
very cool - so just to confirm... a 110V plug can give me 5 miles of charge an hour... x 12hrs charging session = 60 miles of range?
That’s correct. I actually get 6 miles an hour @110V so 72 miles after 12 hours. Not too bad! When I’m in a hurry I charge on 240V and get 26 miles an hour.
@@marclovescars crap... I just uploaded my Short saying 36 miles... but 60-72 miles is impressive! I may have to make another Short about this... thanks for getting back to me bud!
Still have it? Any update? Just seeing this now. Thanks for this review.
Sold it a year ago, it was great but too big for our small family and weren’t driving it enough. 14 mpg was starting to annoy us too. Otherwise it was bullet proof, handled and rode great and we loved it.
19 roadster and i love it.
Congrats! The roadsters are sweet!
What we need is a Long Range with a LFP battery that can charged to 100% every time.
Yes! Amen. Hopefully one day. Would be incredible to get 363 miles on every charge without degrading the battery.
That’s the cost of another used car man lol
Yep don’t remind me, haha. The Aston is long gone thank god, got a BMW M2 Competition to replace it, great car!
I leave the door open 100% of time after doing laundry. Problem solved
Agreed, it’s the best option for keeping the seal clean. In my case leaving the door open blocks our actual laundry room door, so I only do it for an hour.
i think the 60kw LFP the best option for range and battery 3x last long because lifepo4 and simple built packs ,more safety not fire up easy
Agree 100%
I think the reason for the warning not to use extension cords is that most people see one and think they are all the same. As long as you use one that is rated for the power you are trying to use you should be fine. Thicker gauge wires (smaller numbers) carry more current and won't have as much resistance so there's less loss converted to heat.
Agreed, and I tried to call this out in the video. Using a standard extension cord would obviously be a disaster. Fire risk, not to mention slower charging speeds.
Older models better
Like the 16s
Nice
A similar video got super popular, but didn't mention the ceramic coating, thanks for saving a little more water in this world.
Im watching this in July 2024 after I just bought a 2011 MDX with 121,000 miles for only $6,500! It is so great to drive, interior is in pristine condition, exterior has some scratches but i can buff out. so happy with my commuter purchase.
Wow, what a deal! You scored. Enjoy it! They are great.
Buy the manual Vantage then! I love mine
I did! See my other videos. Sold it quickly though, the shifting was too stiff and notchy for me. I replaced it with an M2 Competition.
Do not hype these please
Is this el dorado hills lol
No, I’m several hours south of there.
@marclovescars looks identical and then you mentioned Tahoe which is nearby
Fabulous video! I'm about to register my Aston vantage 2006 tomorrow (UK to Bulgaria where I live) absolutely the info I needed after 20 years of BMW 👌 thank you 🙏
Are you still currently enjoying your Acura MDX? My wife and I are thinking about purchasing one.
Sadly no, I sold it. I loved it, but it was a bit large for our small family and we found we weren’t using it much, especially during the COVID years. We only truly needed a 7-passenger SUV 1-2 days per year. So we sold it and got something smaller. If you’re OK with a full-size SUV you won’t do too much better than a 2nd gen MDX!
@@marclovescars thank you 🙏🏿
What a load of bla bla blab!
