      Well you figure he was going to EV swap it, the paints shot, the bodywork was ruined, he had to spend a ton of money to get it right, so it was a failure in that sense, granted in 6 months time he might not think that, as you forget he has the RS up there getting worked over right now and we havent seen the targa in a while neither
      actually he's kinda gonna have atleast three generations of 911 by the time he's done, two of which were basket case hoopties and another was a super custom with a 930 widowmaker turbo engine in it.

    • @rustler08

      It was stupid, because for the price he could have had a nice one. "Breathing Life" into a piece of junk for the same price as a good one is stupid, and the only reason he did it is because it makes money on TH-cam. If you did this on your own without YT supplementing, you're wasting money and he's absolutely right.

    • @jesper1406
      @jesper1406 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      From a financial standpoint, as you could have had a nice one for the same price, it was stupid. But a nice example wouldn't have generated as much views on TH-cam. So not a bad decision after all...

    One of my former coworkers had one of those Benz Diesel SUV’s, for whatever reason he had the rear bumper cover off, and while it was off he noticed the factory trailer hitch support beam was NOT WELDED on one side to the plate that bolt the beam to the main SUV’s frame.
    Luckily he never towed anything substantial with it prior to noticing the major, potentially fatal, manufacturing flaw.
    Luckily we are both pipe fitters and plumbers, so welding it together wasn’t an issue, but to find something like that on a car is terrifying to me.

Well after a numerous amount of wobbly pops, they went on to tell me just how crappy BMW's are and all about their mechanical issues.

You certainly proved their point with your BMW Alpina.

    The E63 AMG brings back memories. In 2010 I was stationed in Germany and had to go to Stuttgart. On the way back I had my 2010 Grand Caravan opened wide up doing about 100mph when I hear this high pitched motor scream and glance up to see a Lamborghini Gallardo fly by like I was standing still (perhaps 150 mph). While watching that beautiful rear end disappearing into the distance I hear a low pitched guttural roar and glanced in the mirror just in time to nearly get my doors blown off by an E63 that was chasing down the Lambo. Yeah, good times.

    Great compilation and thanks for inspiring automotive masochists for the last six years (myself included). The Lebaron, what good memories, the talking voice and burying it. The Alpina B7, what a machine but what a disaster. The Tesla and its battery, has depreciated to the point where the battery is worth more than the car, like the original Nissan Leaf in Japan (it keeps company with all the deadly sinners, the DSG Volkswagens, Valvetronic 4 cylinder and V8 BMWs, Powershift Volvos, CVT Nissans to name a few).

    I've been lured to your channel first with the Rolls Phantom videos, but then stayed and subscribed for the LeBaron, because I wanted to see what will remain of it after the 1 year, when you're gonna unearth that poor thing. That year passed by like a minute, and I've got hooked on your channel by then. It was a great move by hindsight.

    I'm so glad that you do this craziness, and admire how calm you are while throwing mountains of money at those trashed hoopdies! As an old optimist, I can share this wisdom (?) with you: the more exclusive a car is or was, the less practical it is for doing donuts. Just saying. If I had the budget you have, I'd find a couple of AMC Hornet's or Gremlin's to make LS-swapped and suspension upgraded drift cars out of. After I trashed one, I'd offer to let you buy it! Keep on truckin', I think you're going to be fine

    You are doing a fantastic job. I have a technical question(as I am a Service Engineer):What was the mileage(s) on the various vehicles upon all the failures during your ownership??? I am especially interested on the Mercedes's models, Bentley and BMW.In this way your viewers/subscribers would know what expect and when??? Keep up the great work!!!I will always be a subscriber to the channel.

    • @bryduhbikeguy
      @bryduhbikeguy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The mileage of each is usually mentioned when he buys them,and sometimes when they're discussing them for repairs.I subbed when he traded for the Bentley Turbo.I don't recall the miles either..89k-ish.That's part of the fun.'It got how far before self-destructing?'edit=It turns out the LaBaron is when he drew my attention and I started watching.Subbed later when I saw the fun wasn't going to stop.

    I think that Lebaron video is what brought me to this channel. So it wasn't that bad a buy.
    What amuses me is these expensive cars that quit on you and some of them are absolute junk, while here I have an '88 Chevy van and a '93 GMC truck, both TBI, both sat like five years, the truck rusty as all get out, the GMC fired right up with a hot battery. The van didn't want to fire in the cold, so I dumped some fuel system cleaner down it, let it sit, and on a warmer day with a shot of ether away it went. I think with fresh gas it would be as reliable as ever. Both need some attention to the brakes though.

    Have you considered buying an interest in the Car Wizard's shop? It might be more economical than paying walk-in rates for the crazy amount of work you have done there. You may also want to start a scrap yard to part out some of these stinkers.
