Kennen smugly asking if people don't understand depreciation last week while spending over a grand a month to keep a $20k car on the road is incredibly funny.
The spouse is delusional and thinks he will eventually change or that she deserves the treatment. Kennan knows exactly where he stands with that car and has decided it’s not even worth a second thought. The car is worth every penny and far more to him. I spent many years in law enforcement and it’s not really something that I personally would ever joke about after witnessing these relationships play out. They go both ways more often than people realize. I’m not saying you should not joke about it. Just that you may consider it one day. God Bless.
BMW fanboy logic. “My car is perfectly reliable! You just have to do this, this, this this….” that inevitably adds up to $10k per year. No. Just no. These people are either in denial and/or insane.
If your primary concern is just keeping the car running then you can probably get away with it for a fraction of what he spends lol. But when you start chasing perfection, and when you have a specialized shop working on your car, and when you are talking about a 235k mile car, then you start getting big repair bills. A lot of it is a matter of the owner’s personal tolerance for imperfection. Some people are just happy with a car that runs and drives.
@@NickM-qi4sq And then you have the crowd that says that if a car is reliable, it's boring. Do you remember how Jeremy Clarkson deduced that reliability makes a car boring?
There is a maintenance logic about replacing parts every M months or K kilometres (not just oil, at 6 months 10,000km) but belts, hoses, bushings, cleaning intake (direct injection), and exhaust valves every 5 years 80,000km. Diligent maintenance may look excessive to the uninitiated when you replace a plastic water pump every 50,000 km 'as a precaution'.
For the love of Doug, edit the video with the local feed instead of the zoom feed. Up your game and have Doug film local and send the video after and sync it in post.
The Mach E is sold in Europe. The Explorer is not the ID 7 but is based on the platform which underpins the VW ID 3, ID4 and Enyaq. The Capri is basically the VW ID 5 with the Capri body on top.
981 Base Cayman owner here. Its extremely sad to see the future 718 going fully electric. It also means GTS 4.0s, GT4 and RS models will essentially never come down. Such a shame.
@garythecyclingnerd6219 it does seem like the logical car to move to. Especially if the Emira has good reliability and parts aren't an issue. But I personally cannot afford that tier of car. A GTS, GT4 or Emira is well over double the price of my base 981 or 4cyl 718. And I think once the current crop of performance coupes die off. The segment will essentially die off completely.
@@ForgetfulFoot We’ll see, but Lotus Emira prices will drop. You’ll be able to find a clean one for $50k in a few years. However, mid engine, manual, ICE, will only be getting more expensive. For us brokies, eventually only front engine options will be available for relatively new cars.
Doug and Cars and Bids are making the best car content on TH-cam right now hands down. Cars and Bids as a company is incredible and is doing so much for the car community. I check all of the listings every day its amazing.

I saw a fisker ocean in Kentucky yesterday. It's one thing to roll the dice on that thing in California but I bet there's no one to work on that thing within 500 miles in any direction from here lol
Glad the pod has an ev owner in the rotation. Enjoy the R1T Sam. Also, someone needs to convince Kennan to save the M5 for weekend use and lease an R1T (or honestly any other car).
Porsche will poker face it out for as long as possible, but they'll have top secret plans to slot an ICE into next Boxster/Cayman at the last minute when sales tank & the brown stuff hits the fan.
The EV Macan will sell very well. All the rich SoCal moms will happily buy one. The EV Cayman…I’m sure will drive well but I don’t know about numbers. The EQS though, I cannot believe anyone buys. It’s aggressively ugly.
@garythecyclingnerd6219 Base EV Macan is like twice the base price of the ICE. Idk if the moms will be able to justify the $800-1000 lease payments lol
As a Brit, the Capri is very well loved over here and the response to the new Capri has not been particularly warm indeed 😅 My Uncle had a late model Capri in black, it was bloody fast I thought it was the coolest thing on four wheels, he's probably rapidly rotating in his grave upon seeing this new Polestar look-a-like
Most underpowered sportscar? How about a base spec 3rd Gen Firebird. Like 90hp with a huge body and huge engine. Or second gen Mustang or any late 70s base spec muscle car really
1) the video lag makes this a hard watch. 2) Kennan, sell your M5 for a lower mileage one for the money you’re spending or stop putting that much money into it.
Doug the kinda guy who tells the editor to sync to his zoom screen cause the people need to see his audio synced to his video while the team at the office look like dog cheeks xD
It's so funny how people give E60 M5 such a hard time but when E39 M5 requires just as much money to maintain it's ok😂 And that's coming from someone who owned both, still have the e60
Evoluto Ferrari looks like one of the tuners from Cars 1, i very much like that vibe, but i think she lost some of the goregous lines (like how the rear fender wraps around the back of the car, now its weirdly straight cut, you can see that especially when looking from the side)
Serious question, is there anything on the E39 M5 that’s not a “common failure “? Holy crap-mobile Batman.. People crap on Alfa for reliability, but mine has been more reliable than my (younger) Lexus so I always just assumed “car rookies don’t do standard preventative maintenance and only change their oil “
Kennan, please accept that your incredibly lovely M5 is also incredibly unreliable if you intend to keep it in mint condition. I understand your love for it, I really do, BUT... I'd also suggest that it has reached the point where it deserves to become a 'high days and holidays' car, something you don't use every day. Ignore values when you love a thing so much, but do so with your eyes wide open and not through rose-tinted lenses. If you drove the car only infrequently, any service or general upkeep would be spread so much more thinly over the years. If you accept you have the epitome of gas fuelled cars in the form of your M5, consider jumping the generations of later gas cars and investigate, in depth, the next generation of vehicles that are now driven electrically. There are MANY to choose from. Start with that early Tesla Roadster. THAT will only go up in value, a genuine investment I suggest. A Porsche EV... going cheap right now? Even a VW Buzz is a very rapid thing indeed!
Early Tesla Roadster will go up in value? Probably, some, but only some. Its appreciation will probably be somewhere between a DeLorean and convertible Nissan Murano. Being a an overweight Lotus that lost most of the stuff that made the Lotus one good, with low battery capacity -- it's s a weird niche car that only a small number of diehards car about, kind of like DeLorean, except with less appreciation from the general population because it has never been in a movie (hence the reference to Murano)
When I hear Kennan describe his issues with his M5 I legitimately have PTSD from my e46 ownership. It has given me more issues, cost me more money, and broken on me in more different ways than any vehicle I have ever owned or any vehicle anybody I know has ever owned. The way BMWs rip your heart out is that they are pretty fun to drive when they are running correctly. Which is like 2 weeks out of the year. The rest of the days it is either broken, being fixed, or the warning lights are terrifying you. And the problem is that even when you do fix it, you get this pit in your stomach every time you touch the key or drive the thing because you’re just trying to predict all the ways in which it is going to leave you stranded or devour your savings yet again. It has really ruined me on the BMW brand. I can honestly say I will never own another one again until I make at least 6 figures a year and can afford to have a spare car and also pay somebody with knowledge to fix it
Im gonna have to disagree with the Evoluto 355. There are people who do the same thing to classic muscle cars, and those sell quite often. They update the comforts and features to being it into the modern age to make the car more manageable, but the car still retains a lot of the classic styling. There’s definitely a decently sized market for this kind of car.
Kennan just have this car as a weekend cruiser. Spending 20k on a year on a 25 year old series production mass produced vehicle is crazy. Tbh its probably better to sell this one and just buy a mint one but i know you’ll never do that so meet in the middle at limit the mileage to like 5000 - 8000 a year. Get an actual beater daily driver that you can swap out every year
I don’t see electric cars ever holding their value. It’s sad but people just see them as appliances at this point and I don’t see that changing. The only ones I could see being worth something in the future is a certain style or platform that can be retroactively upgraded down the line. An RC Restomod of sorts.
This is the second time they brought up "Naturally Aspirated" for electric cars and no one has explained to Doug that the "Aspirated" part of the phrase by definition requires air to function.
355 Evoluto is ugly, but his Vanquish kit looked great. The Callum Vanquish actually addressed a lot of the issues with manual and ZF auto swap options.
It's a big mistake for Porsche to go full EV on Cayman/Boxster. First EV sportscar on the market - I can see the appeal, but what are the chances of them getting it right the first time? What are the chances of them doing what Kia did with simulated sound and gears? Porsche is probably where Jason Camissa was BEFORE he tired the EV Kia N: thought simulated gears in an EV was useless gimmick. Yeah, Taycan was their first EV, but that was just a sedan, not a sports car. They should've been more conservative and done an EV sportscar along with an ICE one first.
Don’t ban me, but- as a recent EV purchaser I’ll always have one in my life. Former 911 997.2 4S MT (profited 32k after 3 yrs in top of market) and Cayenne Diesel owner.. I’m sold on EV. Our next vehicle will be Rivian R1 S or Cayenne E-hybrid plug-in. And LC500 for wkndr long term.
"Update came and now I have blindspot cameras all of a sudden" - what, cameras just appeared out of thin air? The cameras were there on car when you bought the car and the fact you didn't have the video fed to your infotainment is either a trick on the carmaker's part to make you feel like software updates can make anything happen, or them rolling out a halfbaked product.
Keep the Porsche and get something crazy. You will regret not keeping the Porsche, specially now that all new ones will be EVs.

by kennans logic, any car is reliable as long as you spend 5x its value repairing it
