I watched this video at the age of 15, when it released, and it sparked an obsession in me with the c4 corvette. One year later, commenting on this video I am the proud owner of a 1994 c4 corvette with the manual transmission. Dreams can come true guys, all it takes is a bunch of hard work and diligent saving!
Same thing with me. I’ve had my 95 corvette 6speed for a year now (I’m 18) I love it but I don’t love looking on the 10 year old forums or trying to fit into tight spaces in the engine bay. But it’s worth it when you get to rip it around
Is your 350z Manual or automatic? Not auto shaming here, I am just curious. I typically only drive manual just because it means fewer trips to the shop, but that's not always accurate.
@@OGPea I drive a 1999 Mustang GT, my dad's been driving a 2001 Mustang GT since 2001, we live in Canada. Deep snow, slush, ice, black ice, rivers when it melts, etc. Never drove a 350z, but you can drive anything in snow. I got a boy who drives an NA miata year-round. The only thing is if they salt the roads it'll obviously eat away at your car. I have 2 New Edge's and thinking about getting a third, because I'd like to keep one my entire life and that's not possible driving year-round in Canada, so I keep one stored.
We love you homeboy, if you need a break take it man, we can tell you’re going through it, n that’s okay most of us are rightnow, go get yourself right my guy
When I was a senior in High School back in 2003, my Dad got a new Lincoln LS that had a factory 8 inch subwoofer in that. I used to take it when he was outta town and RAG that V8 out. Caught air in it once. lol
Guys isn't it obvious? He's a little emotional because he just finished filming the Up To Speed Episode on his dad! Jokes aside I hope everything is ok bro. We love you. If something is going on in your life you don't have to keep filming. Take some time for yourself!
My first car was a 95 sn95 with the 5.0. I but bigger cams, headers, intake, coil packs, MSD distributor, straight pipe with a single car out through the drive and passenger front wheels. Made just about 400 hp and was the best car I have ever owned

I started driving first car (a 2003 civic si) a bit over a year ago, and I absolutely love it. Sure everything that you'll ever need to fix is all crammed into a very small space, but repairs are few and far between. Also vtec
I was expecting something like this. And then my dad handed me the keys to his z71 2011 suburban with every comfort and appearance upgrade they offer. Still so grateful, I dont care that I get 11mpg feels like a driving couch and I can haul my friends and a few hobos we pick up along the way as well as all the luggage. Also, I know for a fact, if I ever do get into a crash, I'm not the one getting hurt
I know Americans are not very familiar with the car cult of old Europe, but driving an ocean liner as your first car is torture. If you want to get around comfortably with a few friends and be safe, take the train. Cars are made to feel the adrenaline as you drive on the limit and risk crashing, but that's the beauty of it, and that's the only reason why you do it. Get an old Yaris or some other wreck instead: you spend a lot less, pollute a lot less and have a lot more fun Edit.: I would also add that the Suburban is likely to be petrol-powered, which is a crime against humanity for vehicles of this kind: they are made to be propelled by a diesel engine, so that you can at least feel the power of the turbocharger; and the automatic gearbox is another thing that should never exist in a first car, but I know Americans do not particularly like automatic or sequential gearboxes
@@pe-peron8441 We can tell you are European because most Europeans don’t understand that the US has little to no transportation except in a few big cities. We all have to drive everywhere.
Would love to see “Best 2nd car”. Aka, you’re out of highschool; college student but you got a bit more cash in your piggy bank. Looking for a fun car that’s a bit more modern in safety and practical but still is a speedy boi
Without knowing it this video picked out my exact first car: a 2004 330ci. And yes, it lives up to all expectations. Highly recommend and thank you Donut for aligning the stars to make my first car my favorite car
He had a couple heart attacks the most recent being in December. He had a life saving operation. Seems like the medication is making him off. He said he’s turning his life around for the better. You got this James.
As an sn95 owner, I SAY THAT ITS GREAT FIRST CAR!!! It has its weird quirks like the gas kill switch in the trunk, the HEAVY ass clutch (compared to bmws, MB, etc) and etc. The car is pretty slow but it’s pretty easy to make orettt fast !! It also does burnouts and drifts very very easily too!
I didn't have a car till I was 19. I had saved up a tiny bit of money but I spent it on a guitar and amp, because my buddy had a 70 Chevelle for his first car. I would rather sit as a passenger in his car than most cars I could afford. I did finally get a 1996 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6). Had it for about 8 years, it was pretty fun (for me), but I don't recommend anyone own one longer than 4 years, because the suspension goes to trash and replacing it will cost about half what the car is worth.
James is fucking killing it right now okay? Don’t try to slow him down with the “oh I’m worried for you baby” bullshit. James, if you can hear me.. I love you
@Flat knees Playz Its free real estate laughs in noises go brr so you have chosen death im boutta end this mans whole career durrrrrr maymay coommintz r fun.e
@Hunter Gaming i love that car but it's 22 years old and is the most frequently stolen véhicule. I would go with a 2005 si, if you are on a budget. You'll get more hp and more room in the rear seats
My first car was a Black 2013 Suziki Swift Sport. Was deam fun in corners. And you had to work the gears to go fast. Fun gokart. And cheep to maintain.
I'm almost positive he is beyond tired of these shaved James comments lol. 99 percent of them are about his beard and 1 maybe actually about the video.
My first car was a 2003 G35 sedan 6-speed. Picked it up for $6k with some miles on it. Pros: 260-280hp, one of the best sounding engines ever made, rear-wheel drive, optional 6-speed manual, sedans have great insurance rates, room for more than one friend, decent safety ratings, Nissan parts are abundant, big trunk for woofing sound system Cons: No pop-up headlights
My first car was a 1980 1.4l chevy chevette with 52hp and 4 gears! Now that I finnished paying the installments I can finally save up for the transfer fees!
my parent had bought me an accord as my first car and i have to say that it isnt fast but you can still have fun with it. I got it before I was into cars but as soon as i started driving, i realized that I have a passion for it. Not only that but if you know how to drive it well then some people would think you have a turbo even though its stock.
@@spinnmotion9704 Not true. Title would only say "1996 Chevrolet". Old car. Cheap insurance. Insurance companies don't really charge based on what it is if it's old. If you tell them how much you paid or the miles, then you messed up. If you're making payments, you basically have no choice but to pay full coverage. Most of the time, it's required. When you're getting insurance on an old car say like a 79 Camaro ("1979 Chevrolet"), just be like "yehh It works sometimes. It's a real beater. Just gonna drive it locally down to barber every couple weeks." On my '68 Pontiac which wasn't even running yet, I told them how much I paid for it and the miles were 38,000, and they were charging me over 300 a month and it wasn't even full coverage. Big mistake.
I got my GT86 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Reliable fun at reasonable speeds with cheap tyres and brakes. Also great fuel economy for a sports car, not to mention the fantastic looks and massive aftermarket. Highly recommended 10/10 would buy again. I know they can be a bit pricey for a first car but if you can afford it, you can't go wrong with a BRZ or a 86
My first car was a 1 liter Seat Arosa (prefacelift btw.). The car cost £900, the insurance cost £2500. Madness. Had the little shit lowered so low it bottomed out on potholes. Fails it's not, turned out the whole underside was fucked and dead hahaha.
Insurance for is expensive everywhere in the world. I pay 2600 euros a year for full possible international coverage on 2017 audi s8 and I am 22 years old. Tried to insure my 991 911 GTS in germany and it was like 7000 euros a year and in my country it was 3200 euros a year with even better insurance. So yeah everywhere else is expensive for me.
@@Chromastoma I mean part of the problem is your age, and the type of car your using as an example. It wouldn't ever be cheap for someone your age, anywhere, ever.
1992 Ford Escort Pony manual. Thing was so bare bones didn't even come with passenger side mirror. Parents bought it new and handed down to me. Put over 400k miles on it before it got sold. Won't ever forget the "pony"
Wow!I bought a 2000 escort zx2 5spd manual n every 2 months the master cylinder would go out on me, tho the reason I bought it was cuz of the bullet proof motor. To end the story , once hf a yr went by nd after I put good part in the master cylinder, someone slashed my tires n put water in the gas tank so once I got new tires it blew the head gasket n didn't run on 2,3 cylinders. Rest in peace red zx2. 😢
dad still has his ‘06 sequoia and the only problem is that the electric locking mechanism on the left door doesn’t work. that’s it. drives it every day.
My 07 EL Eddie Bauer only has 120k but she's a champ. Threw a level kit on it, f150 20s with Wranglers, and an insane sound system. My 04 got up to 140k before it was totaled, my 99 did 250k before I sold it and my 01 did 175k before I sold it
"what if you have a Miata and more than one friend" Pff James doesn't realise, you can't have friends AND a Miata, it's either the one or the other, there's no in betweem
@@SuubiVII hardtop don't need it. I daily drove one for like 4 years part of that was in Oregon and I had a baby. Now 7 years later it sits in the garage. It's let me down twice in that much time and i beat on it. First was when I got it the radiator cracked but it was 13 years old and the second when I blew a fuse and it wouldn't start. Easy jobs. 2000 Miata.
As a e46 owner (although i have a 325ci) I cannot stress enough how fun they are to drive, just make sure your subframe mounts are in check and make sure you do a cooling system overhaul and it'll take anything you throw at it
Curiously, reading what you have written, made me remember that I feel almost the same. I get sad when the nostalgia from cars at their times pop in my mind.
I needed this. I am 14 and am planning to start saving for a fun, affordable and rather beginner tuner-friendly first car. My parents think it is unbelievable to think about the fact in 2 years I’m going to be driving full size vehicles.
Every time my personality is muted, I have a far off look in my eyes, i keep touching my face, i struggle putting sentences together without trailing off, and seem i'm on the verge of falling asleep or crying at any point...... Then its time for me to go to rehab again. Hope you are ok man.
I had a 91 LT1 Corvette as a 2nd car at 18, and yea check the insurance on a 2C1 driver it was 2100yr for liability (what I had in 1998) or 10,000yr full coverage awesome 1st car get alot of girls your age asking questions
I own a MK4 Golf GTI and James is right its super reliable, I have driven it over a million kilometers and till this day, he's still running, FUN too, The turbo makes it all the more exciting and more pleasing to drive. Show it love and it will love you too.
Donut Media: The Corvette C4 is a good first car Me: Yeah, I kinda agree My 2006 Corolla: You sure bro? check your wallet. You cant even afford my maintenance
A+ broski! u can't beat a good panther body. Most comfortable car I've ever rode in. You don't feel potholes as long as the air suspension is in good shape
Congrats. I sold my 2011 Towncar last year and bought a 2013 Prius. It's a plug in hybrid and my commute to work is short so I haven't had to purchase fuel in months now. In legitimately was mad that fuel prices tanked because I couldn't take advantage of it. Prius guy problems. I also put a bumper sticker that says I used to be cool on the back since I used to have a C6 Z06 Vette about 10 years ago. My friends think I've lost my mind. I'll likely be getting a Tesla P90D soon as well. 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds.
My man had a 12 hour heart attack and that wasn’t the first time he had one. Get well bruh! Please take your time with recovery, your people have been holding it down
MY dad got the 2004 honda accord when it came out, 500k+ miles later, still hasn't broken down, this is one of, if not THE MOST reliable car you can buy
C4 corvette was my first car. I fixed it up, 6spd manual for 5k. Convertible, green and was is still fast. I now own another. I will always remember the first day i tamed that car.

a lot of cars have the inertia/kill switch in the trunk
Hey James, Whatever you’re going through we’re here for you!! Mowwpawaaa baebhe!!!
Everyone’s asking about his beard but has anyone asked about him. He seems different, like somethings wrong. You good James?
I think it’s just for humor purposes
No he's not good at all......He shaved his beard!
Check his insta
Martin Totev I did there’s nothing?
@@martintotev4508 checked this insta, what did I miss???
James looks like he’s about to cry throughout the video
Are you ok James?
I've been searching for this comment...
He's in mourning for his beard
been scrolling through the comment section looking for something like this/
I didn't have a car till I was 19. I had saved up a tiny bit of money but I spent it on a guitar and amp, because my buddy had a 70 Chevelle for his first car. I would rather sit as a passenger in his car than most cars I could afford. I did finally get a 1996 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6). Had it for about 8 years, it was pretty fun (for me), but I don't recommend anyone own one longer than 4 years, because the suspension goes to trash and replacing it will cost about half what the car is worth.
I feel like he is trying to burp and cry throughout the whole video
Why do I agree lol😂😂😂
Hi, same pfp
Well he does cry an awful lot in his videos so you aren’t wrong.
Yes he is cause he’s drunk af
James: "Don't get an Integra it'll definitely get stolen"
Me: *looks through window* "yup still there"
...you probably look out the window to see if it´s there all the time, like I do.
Still not stolen, phew : D
Cool! U have an integra!!!!
don’t make me nervous like that👀
Lol I always wake up and check if my GSR Integra is still there. 😌 shes a real beauty.
Don't worry. The Manual Transmission will keep your Car away from thieves
*(Dead joke but I DON'T care)*
Why does James sound like he is afraid of something or is about to cry ,what happened?
he shaved
James is fucking killing it right now okay? Don’t try to slow him down with the “oh I’m worried for you baby” bullshit. James, if you can hear me.. I love you
i see it to somthing aint right
He almost died.
@@tyliogghio4741 he's killing it but he looks f'd up while doing it
My buddy bought a 1986 iron camero. Its vin says it has a V6. But original owner put an LT1 in it. What a beast.

@Hunter Gaming these are very different cars. If it's your first car go for the civic
@Hunter Gaming i love that car but it's 22 years old and is the most frequently stolen véhicule. I would go with a 2005 si, if you are on a budget. You'll get more hp and more room in the rear seats

My first car was a Black 2013 Suziki Swift Sport. Was deam fun in corners. And you had to work the gears to go fast. Fun gokart. And cheep to maintain.
I'm almost positive he is beyond tired of these shaved James comments lol. 99 percent of them are about his beard and 1 maybe actually about the video.
Am I gonna buy this $45,000 AE86? No. Three weeks later: “I bought an AE86”
Was it really 45k?
UR84N my new BRZ was $26 G’s. If your 86 cost 45 bones you got royally screwed my sweet lord.
Ispeedymg yeah that’s a lot lol.
@@TehClassifiedEagle I bet a pristine AE86 with low mileage could probably go for like 40k to 50k. you'd be surprised how much people will pay for one
@@Ispeedymg uhh, not the the 86 that's new. The one that's from 1986. And is a corolla.
My first car was a 94 accord... totaled it twice and it still ran great. Love that car..
the beard was keeping James's mind in order.
My first car was a 2003 G35 sedan 6-speed. Picked it up for $6k with some miles on it.
Pros:
260-280hp, one of the best sounding engines ever made, rear-wheel drive, optional 6-speed manual, sedans have great insurance rates, room for more than one friend, decent safety ratings, Nissan parts are abundant, big trunk for woofing sound system
Cons:
No pop-up headlights
That’s the problem with all cars now
2nd con: 4 doors
My first car ( i still own it) was an e34 m5. Bought it used for 10k with some miles on it. Tuned it and modded it to 489hp.
@@surfalcatraz9770 lucky basterd I wish I could get a m5 as my first car
My first car was a 1980 1.4l chevy chevette with 52hp and 4 gears! Now that I finnished paying the installments I can finally save up for the transfer fees!
Is James like hung over or something he seems a little off
It’s the cocaine
Maybe it's cause he isn't hungover...
Really it's just losing the beard...
It’s just the beard
I think he shaved his face or something
The beard
my parent had bought me an accord as my first car and i have to say that it isnt fast but you can still have fun with it. I got it before I was into cars but as soon as i started driving, i realized that I have a passion for it. Not only that but if you know how to drive it well then some people would think you have a turbo even though its stock.
Honestly looking into a c4. Parents are okay with literally anything if it has airbags. So anything after 85’ lol 😂
Get a 04 c5
Dude same
Don’t forget about insurance on a c4 if it’s your first car after you get your license insurance can be up to 400-500$ a month
C5 vette, 1997-2004.
Around 9k+.
C4s are just like 3rd gen Camaros. It's obvious to just not buy those. Very ugly and weak
@@spinnmotion9704 Not true. Title would only say "1996 Chevrolet". Old car. Cheap insurance. Insurance companies don't really charge based on what it is if it's old.
If you tell them how much you paid or the miles, then you messed up.
If you're making payments, you basically have no choice but to pay full coverage. Most of the time, it's required.
When you're getting insurance on an old car say like a 79 Camaro ("1979 Chevrolet"), just be like "yehh It works sometimes. It's a real beater. Just gonna drive it locally down to barber every couple weeks."
On my '68 Pontiac which wasn't even running yet, I told them how much I paid for it and the miles were 38,000, and they were charging me over 300 a month and it wasn't even full coverage. Big mistake.
This was my first donut video, now it’s an addiction
same, I didn’t even know he always had a beard
Sameeee I’m rewatching it now
My first was the one where they ranked all of the Lambos, and I'm addicted too lol
I felt “what my mom used to drive” on a spiritual level
My mom used to drive a 240SX but it sadly got wrecked on a fateful rainy day
I’m getting a 2004 Ford Explorer v6 😂
So, sports car? My mom mostly had sports cars/motor cycles. Except those 3 Jeeps and Dakota that she had.
@Freezy Lizard bit weird m8
I got my GT86 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Reliable fun at reasonable speeds with cheap tyres and brakes. Also great fuel economy for a sports car, not to mention the fantastic looks and massive aftermarket. Highly recommended 10/10 would buy again.
I know they can be a bit pricey for a first car but if you can afford it, you can't go wrong with a BRZ or a 86
Until it spins a bearing
“Julius Caesar’s favorite wheels..... salad shooters” haven’t heard a joke that made me laugh out loud like that in a while
Lol it got me too 🤣😂

*I'm going to end this video's whole career*
Accurate XD !
That part
Underrated comment.
a 98 c5 for me at 17 is cheaper than the 96 that i have currently
I got a c4 corvette and its cheap to insure because its antique and still has airbags
for some reason i keep re-watching this expecting there to be more cars lmao. can you do a part two

Yes more pls

Why does James with no beard just look like he’s very sad
We can now see his depression. The beard could only hide so much...
he looks like that dad in movies that have a house, a family, a fine income, but is just missing something...
He's sad about being beardless.
I think we was drunk, his eyes are glazed, cheeks are rosy, he mumbles and slurs, maybe im wrong

Is it just me or does James look like he’s trying not to cry all the time.
He's cried a few times on the channel.
in this vid he does seem a little down.
hope he's okay
So, according to Donut, the best first car:
1. Is the one that starts
2. Doesnt get stolen
So you have chosen a Renault.

Dude, are you okay? Some high level fidgeting going on in this video.
Glad im not the only one who noticed. Hes not as spunky and off the wall as many of his other videos.

slight pallor, kinda worried due to your previous health condition
When I was getting my first car I settled with a chevy cobalt 5speed manual and I love it

He had to make changes due to heart issues .. he looks like he's IN shape and he's progressing his health!!! KEEP IT UP JAMES 😁🙌
I can’t imagine trying to get insured on anything this cool in the UK...
That's what I was thinking, the cars are cheap but the insurance definitely isn't. USA must have cheap insurance
Trust me bro I’ve got a 1.6 and it costs me 6k a year to insure it’s fucked
My first car was a 1 liter Seat Arosa (prefacelift btw.). The car cost £900, the insurance cost £2500. Madness. Had the little shit lowered so low it bottomed out on potholes. Fails it's not, turned out the whole underside was fucked and dead hahaha.
Insurance for is expensive everywhere in the world. I pay 2600 euros a year for full possible international coverage on 2017 audi s8 and I am 22 years old. Tried to insure my 991 911 GTS in germany and it was like 7000 euros a year and in my country it was 3200 euros a year with even better insurance. So yeah everywhere else is expensive for me.
@@Chromastoma I mean part of the problem is your age, and the type of car your using as an example. It wouldn't ever be cheap for someone your age, anywhere, ever.
James, we love you, hope you are feeling good, man.
1992 Ford Escort Pony manual. Thing was so bare bones didn't even come with passenger side mirror. Parents bought it new and handed down to me. Put over 400k miles on it before it got sold. Won't ever forget the "pony"
Wow!I bought a 2000 escort zx2 5spd manual n every 2 months the master cylinder would go out on me, tho the reason I bought it was cuz of the bullet proof motor. To end the story , once hf a yr went by nd after I put good part in the master cylinder, someone slashed my tires n put water in the gas tank so once I got new tires it blew the head gasket n didn't run on 2,3 cylinders. Rest in peace red zx2. 😢
I had an Accord that got stolen twice. I got it back both times 😂
Damn how’d you get it back
Län _ found abandoned on the road once and an apartment complex had it towed the next.
Was it a stick
Even robbers don’t want an accord(no offense)🥴😂
name surname lol! Neither did I but some of us have times in life where we get the car we can get no matter what our wants are.
Best first car: handed down family suv, 08 Ford Expedition that’s an absolute animal and refuses to quit, with 253k miles and still cookin
I had the same thing
dad still has his ‘06 sequoia and the only problem is that the electric locking mechanism on the left door doesn’t work. that’s it. drives it every day.
stagenine only thing that doesn’t work on mine too is the power lock on the drivers door
My 07 EL Eddie Bauer only has 120k but she's a champ. Threw a level kit on it, f150 20s with Wranglers, and an insane sound system. My 04 got up to 140k before it was totaled, my 99 did 250k before I sold it and my 01 did 175k before I sold it
I had a 04 xlt with the 5.4. I totaled it but it was one of the best cars ever.
Why is James looking like hes going to cry doing this video?
He's sad because the beard is gone
The Beard Shaved Blues
that's drugs. he's on something. or going thru some shit lowkey.
Eef he’s on medication due to him having a heart attack back in December and it brings his usual energetic self waaay down
He has been super emotional lately. Shit I guess we all kinda have
can confirm that c4's are cheap and lots of fun, bought one for 3200 when I was 16 and I still have it. Love it to death.
James you sound so sad man. I hope you're okay. You've got this❤️
James dodge tattoo now says “powered by Gillette”
"what if you have a Miata and more than one friend"
Pff James doesn't realise, you can't have friends AND a Miata, it's either the one or the other, there's no in betweem
You can still have friends but it is a byom (bring your own Miata) friendship
use a dog sack
What if you have a friend that also has a Miata?
That's why I don't know if I should go for a miata or not , 2 seats + buying the hardtop at first scares me a little.
@@SuubiVII hardtop don't need it. I daily drove one for like 4 years part of that was in Oregon and I had a baby. Now 7 years later it sits in the garage. It's let me down twice in that much time and i beat on it. First was when I got it the radiator cracked but it was 13 years old and the second when I blew a fuse and it wouldn't start. Easy jobs. 2000 Miata.
As a e46 owner (although i have a 325ci) I cannot stress enough how fun they are to drive, just make sure your subframe mounts are in check and make sure you do a cooling system overhaul and it'll take anything you throw at it
I just recently got one , I already know I want another or an m3 e46
James sound like he’s tearing up over the memories of all these cars
Curiously, reading what you have written, made me remember that I feel almost the same.
