Am telling u u can just bless me this way and let me have that truck would be amazing 🙏🏼
you need a better microphone!!!!
I've been told you can refinance a car loan through them but they treat it like a personal loan so you get the title to the vehicle. Not sure if that's true or not? Or if they just approve high personal loans. I want the title to my CTS-V
The key to getting out of debt is not making new debt. The key to getting out of debt is *paying off debt*. Take a second job, sell everything you don't need, eat beans and rice. Live like no one else will, so that you can live like no one else can.
Read Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover. That book changed my life.
@@Joeshomegarage That is correct, if they deem you low risk enough to give you the loan collateral free.
I'd honestly rather watch Hoovie spend $10k fixing a $6k vehicle than spend $30k fixing a $300k vehicle. It's more relatable to viewers and since I maintain my cars myself, I don't really worry about the labor cost for repairs
I AGREE,
Agree!
Something for everyone. I like both but prefer the cool collection of sports and exotics.
I watch his videos for crappy cars. Lol
This makes me feel better about what I spend on my own heep!
just proves that the wizard is a bro and really fair in deals. what a guy and really cool to see your interactions and sillyness.
Car Wizard is turning into Ripoff Wizard. It may be time for Hoovie to find a little local shop to work on his cheap projects where the owner isn't buying yachts and mansions and billing accordingly.
@@Christoph-sd3zi you clearly have no idea how much this shit actually costs lol
@@Christoph-sd3zi you sir need to know deals are about being fair and his work environment is expensive sir so sit down and understand how life work some more before you open your mouth.
@@Christoph-sd3zi Can almost guarantee that is all setup and Hoovie actually gets a way better deal. Everybody would expect the same deal
@@hamsandwich3989 I specialize in 99-06 trucks. They literally cost nothing to work on.
When Hoovie met the wizard. The wizard had a 800 sq ft shop. Now thanks to Hoovie, he has a 80,000 ft shop with five mechanics working just on Hoovies cars. He also has houses that he uses to hold his boats, is looking into buying an island and a jet. It was nice of the wizard to give him this one
typical mechanic... inflate the bill... then get busted and go nah its cool :)
What did the wizard give him? He purchased a vehicle from Hoovie that's worth at least twice what he paid for it. 5k for an excellent 4wd truck that's already been gone through.
@@rustyshackelford7651 Hoovie plays the dummie... but doubtful. I'd say if the Wizard got Hoovies money, he'd burn his own. Wizard fixes cars, Hoovie sells stuff you don't really notice he's selling. And it ain't cars..
Rust never sleeps. Here in Ottawa Canada, we use huge amounts of salt on the roads so we have lots of experience with rusty cars. The lesson is that it is NEVER worthwhile to fix any rust. The problem is not what you can see. It is what you can't see, and it is always far, far worse.
Yep.
I just finished getting my subaru repaired,
Started with the dreaded inner rear wheel arches (was the only job) then continued through replacing inner and outer sills rear panel behind bumper and numerous other bits to be repaired or replaced.(that add up quickly)
I now have paid for the car twice.😳
@@TATTIEPICKER I mean that's not bad depending on how much you paid the car. I see people buy like a car for 2k and freak out when they have to put double that or just 2k. The reason why the car is cheap in the first place it because it needs money to maintain it.
That’s the same here (Massachusetts) I’ve been restoring my car and you always find more under the paint. I also had a F150 that was a rust bucket in the cab corners.
yup, just spent a thousand getting rust repaired on my Miata. It was nothing major and the car has never seen salted roads but thill found a way to rust due to clogged drain holes. Proper rust repair is insanely expensive and rapidly exceeds the value of the car, major rust is never worth fixing.
@@TATTIEPICKER yeah also subarus can be absolute piles of shit if not maintained properly and they have expensive parts for anyone buying an old v6 variant of the outback, lessoned learned never buy an old subaru, the rod bearings man the damn rod bearings
What I can, as a 32 year life long Texan, yes when you get 20-30 year old Texas car, you’ll have zero rust whatsoever, but you’ll likely NEVER find one with original pain that isn’t shot. You have to trade the paint (Texas sun) to save the body from rust. It’s a win in my book lol
You should add pictures when you're talking about a certain generation of a car, so that we can know what you're talking about.
Only if the internet existed that you could Google images
@@Jhouse_01 We ain’t got time to google that shit
Yessss
There’s this thing called google lol

The GMT800 platform definitely was GM's finest work in the 1/2 ton truck category. My parents just recently sold their '03 Chevy Avalanche and it still drove great. As an unlucky owner of a '21 Silverado 1500 that shares its time 50/50 between our garage and dealership service department, I can definitely say they are a shadow of what they used to build 20 years ago and I can't wait to sell it. I also completely agree that the modern seats are rock hard; we have memory foam cushions on top of the front seats to make them bearable.
GMT400 were a better chassis. The "hydroformed box frame" were absolute garbage outside of Texas/Arizona. LS engine package was better though.
Terrible frame rust on gmt800!!!!
I have 291K oon my 2003 Avalanche! Still runs like new I love it so much I could never get rid of it. Best vehicle I ever owned!!!
@@lukeskypwner278 my 2005 is still good here in Ontario Canada, worst place ever for vehicles. Had the box off to do cab corners and rocker panels and painted and undercoated it while I had access. Frame was nearly mint. I think they improved after the first couple years. Also not sure if the Canadian frame factory was better than the other ones.
@@lovellmills7959 check the frame rail near the gas tank. i bought one to fix up and the frame was almost gone facing the gas tank!!! i could poke my hand through
First the Escalade, then the Silverado SS, and now the Suburban Z71 I absolutely love that Tyler has an appreciation for GMT800 trucks and suvs
Same. I have never owned one, I drove my parents old 2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L,and now I drive a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE ( 4 cylinder), but I see a ton of those GMT800 trucks where I live in Illinois. I have models of them, I have a 1:18 scale GMC Yukon Denali, a 1:18 scale Chevy Suburban 2500, 1:18 scale Chevy Silverado, and a 1;18 scale Cadillac Escalade, all are GMT800.
@@bradleymeyer9775 oh wow that’s pretty cool
My beater is a GMT800 Escalade EXT and it's rusted in all the usual spots due to east coast winters - in 6 years it has never failed to start, run and drive just like the day I bought it with over 100k on the clock. Aside from routine maintenance, the only thing I've ever had to replace was the fuel lines which had rusted to the point of trickling gasoline all over the ground when stopped. It STILL started and drove like normal for a week before its appointment to have them replaced. Quite simply the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned
@@bradleymeyer9775 you need to come to the Southwest United States GMT800s rule the roads still.
Shit I drive a 99 gmt330 (blazer) and it's got 262,000 miles on it 🦾
@@Pete_Finch well good for you 👍🏽
"Life long Texas truck" is the new "Riptide Blue" 😂
It appears that the Wizard has realized that it'd be a good thing for a mechanic's TH-cam channel to follow Tyler's formula (without the dumbing down part).
That road master is amazing! Cant wait to see how it turns out. My Mom had a caprice wagon in white while I was in middle school think it was a 96 with the LT1. I remember she was the coolest to ride with because I always got priority for riding in the 3rd row. Also remember she backed it off a driveway swail and had to have the tow truck pull her out 🤣 guess the heavy pig dug itself in to deep.
Wizard just wants the truck to use it as a bong 😂
Oh please we know whovee was the one hot boxing that truck
Lmao that's why he was rubbing his hands together! He finally found a vehicle to smoke out!
Please keep this suburban this time. It’s a beautiful truck. As a Minnesota resident, we have rust boxes here without driving past Iowa.
I’m in agreement with you. Those Suburbans are beautiful.
I am singing "That's what friends are for" - That SS would be a good truck, too bad it was not maintained well.
It was barely “kept on the road”
Yes. Obs and nbs are definitely the most comfortable seats. I’ve always said the same thing about the 2007+ seats. Especially the newest gen, they suck.
I didn't hate the "Riptide blue" thing, it was obvious you'd been intoxicated by it, so it was fun to watch like watching someone hopped up on gas.
Saying it several times was fine, typical Hoovie things.
What made it obnoxious for me was the edit, it felt really drawn out.
I guess he did smoked a lot of pot lmao. I love when the guy rubs his hands “oh I got a bill for you”
Tyler, absolutely perfect! as we say up here in Canada.... Save a Whale, Restore a Wagon. My brother still has our family 1969 AMC Rebel SST wagon. Mind you now it's 650 H.P.. But yes, always a wagon, you'll get your investment back. And as always, Cheers from Canada.
Stuart: "We have secrets" ... this, I cannot wait for. Awesome to see VanGo again... they are artists. Props to Wizard getting you out of the brown stuff too - I bet he'll pimp that SS up a treat.
I loved the R I P T I D E B L U E humor. I can't be the only one.
I miss the Riptide Blue, the Bermuda Blue is cool but just isn't the same...
I'm such a sucker for Roadmasters. Reminds me of the one my dad had in my youth. So fun and comfortable to drive.
10:30 I think it comes from the new seats having the cooling function, you can't have as much stuffing as in the old seats so the old seats if done well will feel SOO much comfier
Hell yes Tyler! A time capsule is right! So happy to see this on the channel. I have a ‘03 white z71 Tahoe. I got it 2005 with 18k miles. It now has 223,000k on it with the OG motor and trans. But it has more rust than your black SS Silverado thanks to Illinois winters. It’s been a great vehicle.
PS, Vango does some nice work! Wish I had a one stop shop like that near me.
The Chevy Silverado SS drives awesome, sad that we won't see it get fixed up the way you do usually. It's clear Wizard likes it too.
Damn! We were looking for a tahoe/suburban like that. They were all beat to hell though. We ended up getting an 06 escalade because they had been maintained better. My wife is SUPER jealous. That bermuda blue is the color she wanted.
Good taste brother. In trucks anyway.
I love my GMT800 suburban. My dad bought it used in '08, I passed my drivers test in it, took over the payments when i was in college, and I'm still driving it to this day.
Really nice to see a Suburban in such condition. My dad has owned a 01 Burgundy Suburban for the past 11 years and at 275k miles, it runs like new. And about the seats, we would go on road trips from Massachusetts to North Carolina and feel extremely comfortable. Love seeing more people appreciate these beautiful trucks
awesome! My 2003 Avalanche with 291K still runs like new too!! They don't make them like they used too!
Making me miss my old 04 Tahoe, such a reliable truck. Mine was rusting bad and I traded it in on an 9 year old F-150. It has had more problems in a few months than the two years I've owned the Tahoe. They don't make them like they used too.
291K on my 2003 Avalanche still runs like new. They don't make them like they used too.
I bought a 2005 new. First Silver Birch truck in my town. I had a webasto sunroof cut in. It was a great time with that truck. Of course, life with it in the desert southwest never taught me how rust prone it was. I think overall I liked my C1500 454SS a little better, because of not being nearly as complicated. Thanks for the video.
Has anyone else wondered where all that wtc steel went? Just sayin.
That last line lmao 🤣 who thinks of that
Wow, 2 absolute beauties!! We had a few of the box generation wagons as a kid before my parents bought an Astro. My parents had a 78 Pontiac, then an 84 Electra Estate, then an 87 Caprice wagon. Loved sitting in the 3rd row!!
So glad you're enjoying the "New" Suburban and sorry I didn't catch the paint flaws...guess I got excited / didn't want someone else scooping it up. Either way, I'm excited to see what you do with it!!
It’s almost like literally everyone could’ve seen this coming or something when you buy something sight unseen
Probably because we all could!
Love the Suburban, the GMT-800 series is about the best. Everything you said is very true. The GMT-400 series are also quite decent. We have Suburbans , one a diesel 1996 and 5.3 2001. Both have recieved very dedicated and ongoing rust proofing treatments to keep them rust free. We wish for them to last a very long time. Enjoy your new Suburban, nothing else really compares to them in that segmant!
I love Hoovie..And his comment on the Gmt400 interior is exactly what I always say..The pre 95 "retro" square interiors..love it
This channel really scratches the car itch for me. Always a great variety of vehicles and ridiculous projects that I would never have the time or money to get into myself. Love it.
9:54 that's because the tyre wall is part of the suspension.
I almost bought a car yesterday because I liked how good it looked in blue.
I think I caught something from Tyler.
Hi hovie, that sound was the unmistakable sound of the new guy hitting a really soft bit of dirt in the trench they were packing. Thanks for leaving that in.
Love these types of videos, so nostalgic, I'm 43 and Moms drove these beasts. 83 Buick LeSabre, 85 Caddy fleetwood brougham
The Silverado SS will always be worth something, even with miles. Good to see it’s in good hands (not Allstate’s 😂😂). Hopefully Wizard fixes some cosmetic issues and install an ‘06 hood to make it look tougher 👍👍 BTW, that z71, as a Gmt800 fanatic, it’s gorgeous!! Good score !! 🙌🙌 Now you can ditch the Land Rover and still supercharge that Z71 !! Just talk to Alex from Legit street cars !!
190K was nothing for that SS. can't believe he gave it up.
Oh man, I have a love-hate relationship with this channel. I love Tyler's taste in cars, but I hate how I don't have access to anything like em in Ireland 😂. I'd love to experience that Roadmaster, it looks more comfy than my grandparents lounge
Would love Americans cars, but the gas price would kill you.
I live in the general vicinity of the wizard and I can’t help but feel they’re buying up all the good deals! 🤣
@@Dozav7 haha I wouldn't be surprised to be honest. They are forever buying cars it seems
I know what you mean. I have always wanted a big old Buick or Oldsmobile estate but you just don't see them in England.
I can guarantee it’s more comfortable than most house furniture. I drove many of these when I worked at a car wash back in the 90’s
YESSSS!!!! I'm so glad your giving the road master some love!
Commendable for wizard to take the truck of your hand! That's what friends are for! You support him and he supports you!
These Z71's have a roller on the back roof rack so standing at the back you can load wood, boards, or big items on the roof by yourself. I dont thing any other vehicle did this
This is one of the many great features. The console insert is removeable so you can wash it which I always thought was great.
We see so much of this in the upper Midwest love the content Tyler! Wizard you rock!
I'm still fan Gillingham out meeting you today at Barret Jackson in WPB. Thank you for all the content and being such a genuine person!
Glad to see the RMW's getting even more love. Luckily I got mine about 4 years ago, before it was "cool".
One of those rare win-win moments in Hoovie's Life
Hoovie: "Just look at the quality!"
Chevy SS: "Hold my beer and watch this....."
“Falls apart”
I love it how your viewers know that if they have a hooftie the need to unload, all they need to do is send you a message.
I love that the detailing-guy is happy to work on a car like this. A true car guy!
I bet he did remove the cladding to see if there was hidden rust
This is hilarious. I had a 2002 Silverado crew cab I had to pull the cord on cuz it was a rust bucket
Here in Canada with our winter salt we seldom see time capsules like those. Love the suburban but the roadmaster brings back memories of sitting in the back.
Totally agree with you about car seats have become uncomfortable compared to the armchairs in that Subarban
I'm a bit saddened I really wanted to see the SS come back to life.
Wizard will fix her up and post a video hopefully!
When wizard sees that he can rip off his friends and he can profit out of it. He moves quick
I'd take this truck any day love the silverado ss!!
I bought a neat truck recently from copart. Minor wreck damage. Anyways it's a 05 B4V silverado. Known as VHO. Basically a 2wd SS in a regular Silverado. Pretty rare too. Neat truck tho. Regular 1500 extended cab with a LQ9 6.0, 4l65e and 14blt rear end. I threw some maintenance items on it and been driving it over a year.
Best of luck Tyler! Reminds me of my 124 wagon, please keep the SD!
Yeah, when you said that SS was from the east coast, I was thinking RUST. Glad you got out of it. I'm sure Wizard will be able to get that SS up to standard without spending a fortune.
It's not a 1-Owner anymore! I share your love for GMT800 and used to live in rust country. Hard to find one worth buying without travelling to the desserts.
Old Chevys (s10/Silverados) are still plentiful here in socal. While it's expensive to live here and the political ideologies are bonkers, not having to deal with rust makes it worth it
@@samholdsworth420 I wouldn’t mind finding a super clean 2WD OBS S-10 for an engine swap project.
@@GoFastGator damn my friend just sold his single cab short bed 88 S10 mint condition. They're still out there!!!
Back in 2008 we bought a 2004 Suburban Z71 with 65,000 miles on it. It was our family hauler until last year when we sold it. It sure felt like we traveled a lot but the odometer had 167,000 when we parted ways. Looking at Hoovie's 05 Z71 was like looking back in time.
I think I saw that SS today when I dropped off my 2004 XJR with the Wizard!!
I don't see how you can lose on the Roadmaster, especially when those issues are addressed. It's so bad, it's cool!
I agree. That cars an instant classic!
Patch it to where it's safe and reliable doesn't need to be a show truck and rip around imo. Patch the frame where it needs
you can't patch a frame
I'll rephrase cuz I know someone's going to say something, you shouldn't patch a frame
Repairs were beyond the frame… if the frame would’ve been an issue, the Wizard wouldn’t bought it… repairs didn’t make sense for him, however the Wizard can get the repair cost out of his channel and he’ll do all mechanical work.
There's nothing safe & reliable when it comes to patching the frame of a car. This car needs a new/used rust free frame.
Love the Roadmaster. Dad had a Buick Estate Wagon, first radials in town. Everyone said we had flat tires.
Hey, you can't lose 'em all! Good for you Tyler! (I doubt he'll make this a habit.)
The trend now is to make everything "sporty" - seats, ties, wheels, suspension - and the result is poor ride quality and a lack of comfort on a vehicle that was never supposed to be "sporty". I am waiting for Recaro's and summer tires to be an option for minivans.
Yes! Low profile tires murder your ride quality. That's part of why the Buick Roadmaster and Dodge Diplomat ride so nice.
Why can't they be GT sporty - fast but comfortable? I'd give up 10% of the speed for 100% more comfort.
Even econoboxes - lol, back in 2019 I hired a Hyundai Accent Sport...I assume its called a "Sport" because the suspension is calibrated to send your spine out through your skull. Horrible thing to drive on crap Aussie roads.
I am so excited to see how the roadmaster turns out!
I have a 99 Sierra and an 07 Saturn Ion Redline, the difference between the seat quality is outstanding
"My Big black mistake" i've read that line in the tittle of some porn video somewhere
I really don't understand how GM went from having comfy seats in early 2000s to very uncomfortable seats now 🤷 they are the worst seats out of the 3 American brands
Also how did they decide that the 80s era let's watch the fenders rust before the damn thing is paid off supposed to make you feel your getting your money's worth
The seats in those trucks are great. Especially the cloth ones.
Every car now has gone to hard "sport" style seats.
Remember the 80's gm's with the super soft pillow like velour seats? Those were a DREAM.
Absolutely true. I bought my first GM vehicle since the 70s and the leather seat is so hard I have to use one of those rubber honeycomb seat cushions to keep my tailbone from causing screaming pain, even on shortish trips.
They found out concrete was cheaper than seat foam.
@@rogersmith7396 😂 I'm dying
one of your better vids lately! thnx!
I had a rid in the second row of a recent generation Suburban, and I could feel that behind the thin cushion was a piece of plastic that would go from convex to concave if I relaxed into the seat. Even in a work truck of the older generation, the seats were more comfortable. I guess that by cheaping out on the seats, that are wrapped in leather, GM is probably supporting the rest of the company on the profits gained from the new Suburban.
No! I had high hopes for this beast of a Chevy.
I don't understand why he wanted too get rid of it after he had all the rust fixed. Only other thing it needed was a new hood. he had 11K into it those SS's are worth 15 20K all day long. He said it had high mileage 190K aint high mileage for a 6 liter lol. Hell my 2003 Avalanche is pushing 300K.
I doubt most people struggling to pay their credit card debt have excellent credit
Yeahh.. I kinda didn't like that sponsor
Yea!!! Hoovie's got my dream truck. I love the suburbans. Especially that trim level, in that color.
@10:29 It's not just the seats, it's the tires. People underestimate the effect of tires, specifically the size of the sidewall. My dad and I both have late model Dodge Challengers - mine (AWD) with 235/55-19, his (RWD) with 245/45-20. Mine rides MUCH nicer despite being nearly identical. Seats are super comfortable too.
Wiz doing Hoov a solid.
QUESTION: How much of a comeback do you have if someone just outright scams you on a sale? (I'm assuming it depends on where the deal was struck? Like, if it's through a legit website then you have more chance of getting your money back, whereas if it's through something like Craig's List you're effed in the a.)
Did you buy it "as is"?
Let's be honest there's no getting your money back from a private seller
If you bought it “as is” your really just out the money even if it’s from a real dealership. A reputable dealership is more likely to work with you to maintain their reputation but that only goes so far.
It depends. Like others have said, the simple phrase of "sold as is", can kill any chances of getting money back. For private sellers, if they forget that important phrase, than its a civil matter so you can take them to court. Which can be expensive, but depending how much money in involved you can take them to small claims court. (where you most likely will not need a lawyer, some states do not even allow lawyers for small claims cases) Small claims varies place to place tho, in my city its max monetary value is 12k, while others can max out at 2k. But its significantly cheaper than a full court case/trial type of deal. SCC is usually under $1000 total in costs. (depending on your area and court system ofc)
@@Philip_J_Hill I've been through small claims. It wasn't hard. The hard part is collecting, some people are professional deadbeats.
@@Philip_J_Hill In some states "as is" isn't the end....if they purposely did things to hide issues and you could prove say they knew the engine was shot and didn't divulge it to you. (like if they purposely put 50W oil in the engine to quiet it down). If the seller knows of an issue they have to, by law, tell you.
One way to prove they knew about an issue is if they had an estimate from a local garage that told them it needed an engine, they doctored it, sold it to you and a week later the engine is shot.
I live in a small town and a co-worker bought a used car from a local honda dealer...literally 2 weeks later the engine seized. The dealer said "you refused the extended warranty, TFB" well, when the Mayor, lawyers, and local newspaper got involved, the dealer gave them their money back.
Please get a Lightning
Even as a Ford guy, I'll admit the SS trucks look a lot nicer, but I feel like you need a red Lightning, like from the first f&f lol
Which engine did the lightnings have though?
Okay it's not the three valve...sall 👍🏻
I’m in agreement with you! Definitely need a red lightning.
I'd love a station wagon. It'dhelp out so much when u need to move stuff, and won't need a tarp like a truck and its not huge like a van.
I remember going on a road trip in one of these when it came out.. lol they still have it but we drove through a ditch at like 20 mph and she was good after that I was in love with them
VanGo needs his own channel. Love to see how he does exterior restoration all in house.
Yeah he will probably have his own TH-cam channel up sometime this year if he doesn’t already, it’s the fate of all who cross paths with Hoovie
How the heck did you find a one owner z71 for 11k?
Hoovie- You and Wizard have the best chemistry I swear. You should talk with FYI about a five episode series called "Hoovie and Wizard." Make it a sitcom and include your families and friends. It would need a story arc though, something like you negotiating a good deal on a deposed Russian oligarch's 300 foot yacht for Wizard.
Best seat I've owned was my 40/60 bench seat in my 94 GMC 1500. Haven't been able to sit in a newer car and matched the comfort and support
When it comes to broken vehicles it's better if you work on them your self, that's why wizard and hoovie both won in this deal. Right on.
Crazy that the previous owner passed away. I wonder if he knew, and that's why he unloaded the truck.
I’d love the Car Wizard too if he paid me 5k to take the Chevy 😂
Which was a $5,000.00 loss to Hoovie.
@@rogersmith7396 actually it wasn’t. He didn’t have to pay the bill to the Wizard so he basically broke even.
@@thomasgodfrey758 But he went out of pocket $5,000.00 to get it in the first place. He cut his losses not broke even.
@@rogersmith7396 if he paid $5k and sold it for $5k…..
😂😂😂what’s going on here?
The crossmembers on these are easy. Bought some on ebay for my plow truck, cut the old ones out and welded in new. Replaced 2 and undercoated the whole frame for under $1000
I'm glad The Wizzard got the SS, instead off EuroAsian Bob's junkyard! Also glad you're keeping the Buick!! Beautiful Suburban Z71!! I just bought a beautiful 49k mile '04 Buick Park Avenue and it's awesome & so comfy!
Wizard got a good deal, free delivery , you have all the headaches and stress, now he gets a descent truck!!
I don’t know why I think he rips everyone off 😂
Because if he did his job correctly from the start, his cheap estimate would have been - "This is a lost cause rust bucket."
@@BA-gn3qb because you can't say that to someone who creates content. More money to be made repairing the rusty truck than buying it and tossing it if it's too far gone. Besides, kind of cool that people that can afford to restore cars like that are doing so
@@trashbandit2449 - A real mechanic would immediately notify a customer if required repairs would exceed the estimate.
Not tell them it was more than double afterwards.
@@BA-gn3qb maybe he did, I don't know. All I know for sure from the video is that $1000 for half an exhaust is a scam
@@trashbandit2449 - How about the $15,000 exhaust he talked Hoovie into, to solve a moaning problem on his Lamborghini? And it didn't solve anything.
Repaint everything riptide blue. The wagon (minus the wood), and the Tahoe.
Growing up my dad had an 06 Suburban. So many family trips. Almost 200,000 miles and he still daily drives it!
I just sold my 1996 roadmaster, the previous owner failed to advise me of the salvage title on the car until it was too late. It was cheap with only 68k miles, but it sold fast and I can't complain because I made money on the car.
My best analogy on driving the car: its like driving your grandmothers couch.

@@BudMasta Apparently, exhaust repairs have skyrocketed since I had it done in 1996.
@@muziklvr7776 Everything also has shop overhead, if they order a muffler for 280 dollars, you will pay 350, if they have to recut something or weld on a hanger, each time theyre charging you another hour of work, which for Wizard is 125 an hour, which is crazy, but, the muffler shop could be adding anywhere from 60-90 dollars per hour added on. Wizard is also taking the fee the exhaust shop charged him and adding overhead to go get the vehicle and adding on time it took up shop space or working hours or both.
Love the channel, such a nuisance having to skip the adverts however!
My mom had the Pontiac version of the Roadmaster with rear racing seats when I was a kid. I think it was a 1987 Pontiac Safari. I remember looking drivers in the eye when they were stopped behind us at a red light. Not many cars have that anymore! Maybe the 2012-ish Tesla Model S was one of the most recent? Then I got to the age when I started getting motion sick
