with the last statements in this video, Hoovie touched on some of my feelings about the channel.... buying 6 figure cars was never what drew me to the channel and now I find myself skimming the videos just to get thru it to basically feel like I'm keeping up with what's going on but not really watching the whole thing like I used to. It was the real hoopties that he would buy. The everyday car (that most could easily afford) that he seemed to point out really cool features about it, which in turn, if you read the comments, it inspired the other sub's to either look for one similar for themselves or found it to be a cooler car than they'd thought. I hope to see the channel turn and embrace the original theme a lot more. To be honest, I tend to lean towards Watch JRGo's channel a bit more due to his more down to earth spending and choice of cars. With that said though, thanks again Tyler for the entertainment. It is appreciated.
I agree. I knew I wasn't the only guy skimming through the super cars videos. Yawn. I recently subscribed to watchjrgo when he bought the 67 camaro RS. That is what I want to watch. Other great channels are coldwarmotors, johnathan W, Mustie1, thecorvetteben, fuzzy dice projects, vice grip garage, Dylan McCool. Thanks for the memories Hoovie, it was a nice run. I hope you come back down to earth soon so I can enjoy your videos again.
Look at Tavarish... same thing, I watch even less of that channel because it's not actually stuff you can do in your garage. The orange clapped out Lamborghini I like but because it was such a basket case when he bought it.
I understand why you think like that, but some viewers like me watch hoovie for him, the commentary, dialogue with wizard, etc. The one fact that I don't understand is that he said some time ago that the more crappy the car is the more views he gets. Like the bentley or m5. Yet he still buys cars that are over 100 k. Maybe because he got alot more subscribers. Anyway, I like his videos and I will keep watching. Hope he will make videos which everyone can enjoy
Agreed; I've enjoyed his stuff like the Imperial, the Woodie, Delorean, Volvo art car, etc. I'm sure it's great driving a Lambo, but hell, its boring viewing, and don't talk to me about Car Trek. I guess everything has an arc ( wonder of Doug is going the same way, hence his auction site). Hoovie seems like a nice guy, I hope he works it out for his channel.
Hoovie, in his early 30s, living in a literal mansion, with a cathedral for a garage, that is full of six-figure cars that no longer excite him: "I'll never have a million dollars."
Ya I laughed out loud when I heard him say that. A TH-camr with over a million subs and pulling massive amounts of viewers on each video. I have no qualms about his success. But come on man!
He’s very likely talking about having a million dollars in the bank at any time. Imagine the overhead that he has. Definitely NOT paying cash for most of his nice new stuff
@@nickamalfitano3613 As much as hoovie likes to play dumb, he is a family man, and, I am sure, smarter than he likes to let on (it's counter to his image as the "dumbest youtube car channel").

@@mrpantur7280 you probably make that mistake in real life. Here’s some advice, take the learning and better yourself instead of sounding like you came off a council estate.
Modern day classic. All fingers point to a collector car. First car built ground up from AMG. Last NA V8. One off model with no successor. Only model with gullwing aside from 300sl which was 50yrs ago. MB will probably not have another gulwing model for another 50yrs to preserve its heritage.
The mere fact that Hoovie cares how people might react to his content in these times .. makes him one of only very few car TH-camrs who seem to worry for their audience. Very much appreciated. However I'd imagine the majority of viewers come for amusement and distraction for the daily routine. So it should be ok to keep going a little crazy ..
Wow, Hoovie has a heart. I can see your point, when you've owned 'everything' you lose touch with what's important about car ownership. All of a sudden the world is a different place and everything needs recalibrating. It's nice of you to notice.
I started watching Hoovy because I wanted to prove to people that 2000s and 2010s cars are garbage, but Tyler is such a charismatic guy I started watching just for him, don't care what car it is.
There are too many other people on youtube doing that now. In order to stand out, hes switched to much more rare and expensive pieces of crap to throw money away on. Im sure hes traded up over the years of doing this, so between what he sells the sorted cars for and the income from TH-cam, he comes out ahead. Besides, you can only watch him fix up a $300 jeep so many times before viewers lose interest. Kind of like BMW projects. You already know whats going to happen.
@@churchgest It's fine, but it's not as fun as the old stuff. It's not like there aren't a ton of hoopties still out. Where is the Alfa Romeo Milano/GTV6, the Isuzu Impulse Turbo, the XR4ti, Fiero GT, MR2 supercharged? Any of those will be more fun than a Mercedes gullwing.

Tyler, I appreciate your candor regarding the whole "I bought yet another supercar". I truly believe it is a turnoff for many people and the reason why I simply cannot stand watching some of the more popular automotive YT channels anymore. Childess is the word I feel best describes these folks, their audience and their content. You manage to keep things light hearted and relatable without all that. Cheers, Michael in Toronto.
How long before we see the following from Hoovie: "I just bought the cheapest Gulfstream G550 business jet in the USA. The Air Wizard says it needs $1.2M in repairs and maintenance. Poor me!!"
What's funny is there's a ton of jets out there for bargain prices... But all the parts needing to be replaced on them? Far more than the planes are worth.
@@ab-cn7ki Thanks. It only makes sense Hoovie wouldn't buy a nice plane for his first one. He also doesn't have a good track record with a lot of his purchases. His first plane would make his K car LeBaron look like a sound investment lol.
A friend of mine had one. He actually returned it under Lemon Law provisions. It was nothing but trouble. Last straw was when he was on the highway the air suspension failed, and when the flatbed came to get it, the angle of the lift bed was enough to trigger the door release. Literally blew the doors off while sitting still. He said he and the driver heard a bang and then the doors just fell off onto the ground.

The SLS AMG is Thanos. Buying this car was inevitable. Hoovie, your channel is a great escape from what’s going on in the world. I can’t relate to the expensive cars, but your adventures into automotive stupidity are fun to watch. Growing up in the automotive business and having my own career at the factory level made me feel rather blaze about cars for the most part. Meh, they’ll all get you to where you need to go... But the oddball car with unique features (thinking of the Previa for example) intrigues me. I never gave some vehicles a second thought, let alone the first, but seeing them through your eyes (along with some dumb Hoovie fun) is a blast! Keep up the good work and I’ll keep tuning in. 👍🏻
He's living the dream. But with a new baby, he's going to have less time for this stuff. Hope he doesn't forget about us and puts out some occasional content when he can!
I agree. I like seeing tbe 90's or mid 2000's "cheaper" cars that were special like the Buick he did. Would love to have him find an early 2000's Pontiac Bonneville SSEi if he can find one. Kind of the wolf in sheep's clothing type of cars like the Previa or whatever. No need to spend big bucks Hoovie.
@@AlexBerberian Earlier in the week I watched Doug Demuro's video on a 1991 Honda Civic. There were loads of positive comments about the video as it was a popular car people could relate to that you just don't see these days. Do a Nissan Sunny Coupe and you would make my year. My daily driver for 11 years. 2100 on the road in 1995 and now just 4. www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/nissan_sunny_coupe
You're a good man, Tyler. You're learning a great lesson that possessions ultimately don't make you happy. It's all part of growing up and having "ah ha" moments along the way.
Yep. Spoke to my family the other day who are in lockdown atm. I was going out for a simple pub meal with some guys I used to work with and they were very envious even though they usually dine out way more than we do. Amazing how even the simplest thing can look incredibly good when you can't have it any more. How many wake up to that fact when it is too late to do anything about it?
Tyler, don't feel guilty for your success. You are where you are because of your effort. You identified a niche and turned into something you can be proud of. Thank you for providing endless hours of entertainment to all us car nerds. Have fun, branch out, explore new ideas, but never feel guilty.
You did good, Hoovie. The SLS is definitely one of the best looking cars period. Not just for Mercedes, but regarding all cars. It's so pretty, and I think the new AMG GT is a bloated, step backwards of a design.
The numbness of living out a dream is understandable. I did that with some jobs and life experiences in the past. I've never been able to do it with cars like ive always wanted,and some injuries and other issues keep me from solid work now to facilitate that ,but it is what it is. Your channel and others like you help some of us share in your joy. But if giving back still gives you that thrill,thats a great thing,and good on you for doing it. A hooptie for many of us still brings alot of joy :3
You should talk about that or share that. I think that is something people really never realize one they are there and then do so many things to fill that numb feeling that leads to some kinds of spirals.
I wasn't wrong when I've subscribed to Hooptie and Wizard for a while now. I have no intention of unsubscribing. I like that you where honest and self aware but not subject yourself fakery and pondering to people. It is a business after all. I'm glad I'm having fun watching you guys.
Don't you dare quit making videos, I watch every video you put out and you're the only channel I do that with, no one else do I watch everything they put out, always excited/curious what car you will get next. I guess it could be more fun if you started buying cheaper cars again but I'm happy to watch regardless if you buy a 3-cyl Geo Metro or your dream M-B 300SL Gullwing, keep making them and I'll keep watching them
@@lastfewtokes To be fair most of his cash is probably tied up in investments and not liquid to spend, but I'm sure he could loosen up $1 million if he tried. You don't own multiple Lambos, Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls Royce and Mercedes if you aren't at least worth $1m :D
I’ve always love the SLS AMG. You can’t deny this: THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. Very handsome with beautiful lines and an imposing character. Gorgeous, one day I will buy one. Congratulations Tyler!!!!

@@slimjym4396 Yes, but what's *SAD* is when you have to re-start at 40-something. Retrain and start as a rookie beside a bunch of 22 year olds'. And yet... there is no choice. You have to.
That's what it must feel when rich people already have everything they want... Any new purchase is just meh... And that's a great lesson for us all... Buying and having cool nice things is awesome... But it can't be the reason of one's life!
When someone buys things to show off - to hell with them. When someone does well and buys things to share how cool they are - that's different. When someone talks about giving back after he/she's done well - that's even better.
Jeremy clarkson gave an old car away in new orleans after katrina, they sued him for 20k because it wasnt the exact model he told them he was GIVING them.
@@christianbuczko1481 That's because you have to report gifts like cars to the IRS for taxes. Gifts count as income. Those people got fined for reporting it as the wrong car, registering it as the wrong car, and having an incorrect title. THAT'S why they sued.
When a good person realizes their dream , their next logical thought is how to help others realize theirs too. After all, we're all on this big spinning ball together.
@chris younts Not particularly. It's a noble fantasy, but at the end of it someone has to tell them how to operate. Human biases are irrevocable, and unable to be divorced from the process of telling something how to think. You aren't unique or special or unbiased. You may think your biases are more justified, but, so does everyone else when asked to appraise their own.
Man...this has been my dream car since I was a little kid. Ive watched the prices go way up and these become unattainable. The first time I saw one with the long nose and the gull wing doors I was shocked and instantly fell in love.
I saw this upload a few days ago and refused to watch it at first because this is the first car that Mr. Hoovie has had on the channel that is truly a dream car for me... I have literally 100s of models, posters. brochures, even Race panels and my prized posseion of my AMG collection a single SLS Black rim mounted on my lounge wall. Well done Mr. Hoovie on all your hard work and effort it's paying off and thanks for all the entertainment... especially in 2020... I'm Australian and we started our year with devisating fires and I've been in isoloation for nearly 6 months.
Firstly THANK YOU for doing the Facebook live to announce this car. Secondly, Mercedes still has what AMG used to be. I hear so many people lament about how those cars are gone. However BRABUS are now to Mercedes as AMG used to be. Lastly, I like the idea of the channel pivoting, the one constant in life is change. Thank you for the content
Tyler, you have done a great job and entertained and educated us all. You’ve done what we would all like to try but are too chicken to, so it’s fun to see how it all plays out. You have earned every penny! It would be fun to see you help families in need to find amazing inexpensive cars they never thought they could afford and help them to fix them up.

@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 That's a good looking car. My buddies brother had one in great shape and I, repeatedly, tried to buy it from him. Unfortunately, he gave the car to his new step-son and he wrapped it around a pole shortly after receiving the keys. Sigh, I would've kept that car for life. RIP GP!
In June we had a big storm that caused a tree to fall and total my baby. The Challenger I loved for 9 years. Due to everything going on in the world, I was unable to get a replacement. Now I’m using a loner car (a pink 96 mercury cougar that runs horrible). Though I’m in a tight spot, I still love your videos and your car collection. And I’m always sad to see you sell a car. I know it’s not possible to keep them all, but don’t change too much. We love your videos and use them as a way to escape the crappy world as it is. I don’t know any of us who wouldn’t love to do what you been doing! Keep up the great work!
He drives it around corners like Jeremey Clarkson wit the ass end swinging around.. There is someone in England yelling “POWWWWWEER!” As Hoovie drives it...
Reading the title i thought "oh god this won't end well" But it actually seems you bought something working. I guess you needed a break from the constant anxiety all the other ones give you 😂
@@MOE-db8oc Less than 100HP/L in modern high dollar n/a cars is nothing special. Plenty of power and surely enough to suit the car but far from special. Porsche, bmw and honda were already doing 100+ hp/l in the 90's. This is working out to 91hp/l.
The hinges have a "shaped charge." They explode outward. Your head could literally be against the roof interior, and the charge detonating would do little more than give you a headache...
Personally this is the way I feel. Don't feel bad Hoovie. Yes the economy is a four letter word right now and people are struggling but I like watching your videos. It never gets old for me because I don't have any of these cars. There is no pinnacle. There is always something special you can share with us around the corner. And doesn't have to be a six figure car. It can be a $100 piece. Also without going too in depth I really have a hard time with charity videos. They usually feel too contrived. Honestly when is the last time you saw James Bond saving puppies? Nah he drove undeniably shitty but beautiful cars that were usually more satisfying on a poster than they were to drive. I do get what you mean about charity but I hope you won't stray too far from the hoopties. Love the random finds and hope you find more. Don't care about supercars that much. Too inaccessible in so many ways. Thanks for the great vids!
@@godchi1dvonsteuben770 well I don't speak from experience and yeah I bet they are very visceral feeling but I just mean performance wise today they don't stack up. Some of them never did even back then.
I think maybe he doesn't 'flex like the other youtubers' because he obviously has a solid family foundation, and you can tell that when he speaks of his grandmother. It's a joy to see video of the two of them together!
COOL Grandma..................:) I had to laugh when you down shifted with the truck behind you - lots of noise but the truck did not get left behind!!!!
You've officially reached the point where you're so rich that only making other people happy with your charity and seeing their serotonin release gives you one. Thats definetely a life goal. I started off rich-hating your channel but the more I realize how much you alone help the economy and all the people around you changed my view entirely. Wizard has a nice boat for his family to enjoy because of you and thats just the 1st example of many I could think of from my short time watching a few of your videos.
Awesome at the 13.00 minute mark - your humility and logical reasoning on your feelings was one of the highlights of all the videos you've made. I think only people who have been successful in whatever field they are in, whether it be intellectually or in business will understand 'that point' you get to. Let's see what Hoovie mk2 (? or 3 or 4 ??) can bring :)
Yeah, watching a multi-millionaire buy another exotic car is about as exciting as watching granny play golf. Hoovie's not even excited, so what's the point.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Exactly, seeing him flaunt cash on exotic cars isn't what this channel was built on. It's plain obnoxious, and has been done dime a dozen by other TH-camrs.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH This video would have been more fun if the cheapest SLS had been a (badly) body-kitted Fiero, with panel gaps, wheels that aren't centered in the wheel-wells, gull-wing doors that just fall off when you exit the car, etc.
My first thought was "wow, he's really got away from what made his channel so popular..." only to have him address that later in the video. That's why I will keep watching, he seems like a genuinely kind person who tries to keep himself in check in spite of his success.

Hoovie, your channel is a great escape from what’s going on in the world. I can’t relate to the expensive cars, but your adventures into automotive stupidity are fun to watch. Growing up in the automotive business and having my own career at the factory level made me feel rather blaze about cars for the most part. Meh, they’ll all get you to where you need to go...
But the oddball car with unique features (thinking of the Previa for example) intrigues me. I never gave some vehicles a second thought, let alone the first, but seeing them through your eyes (along with some dumb Hoovie fun) is a blast! Keep up the good work and I’ll keep tuning in. 👍🏻
Yep. This. I live vicariously through Hoovie and Friends. Jealous and thankful for the escape.
He's living the dream. But with a new baby, he's going to have less time for this stuff. Hope he doesn't forget about us and puts out some occasional content when he can!
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 I think making car videos is part of his job. Child will not change anything here I think.
I agree. I like seeing tbe 90's or mid 2000's "cheaper" cars that were special like the Buick he did. Would love to have him find an early 2000's Pontiac Bonneville SSEi if he can find one. Kind of the wolf in sheep's clothing type of cars like the Previa or whatever. No need to spend big bucks Hoovie.
@@AlexBerberian Earlier in the week I watched Doug Demuro's video on a 1991 Honda Civic. There were loads of positive comments about the video as it was a popular car people could relate to that you just don't see these days. Do a Nissan Sunny Coupe and you would make my year.

FINALLY HOOVIE HAS BOUGHT HIS DREAM CAR!!! SO HAPPY FOR THIS GUY!!!!
REALLY BRO
YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON!!!
Well he said his dream car was the 300SL, and even stated that this is sort of a compromise as the cheapest 300SL is still $1 million plus.
@@Jens_Roadster OH REEEALLY?😏
Lol get a life
You're a good man, Tyler. You're learning a great lesson that possessions ultimately don't make you happy. It's all part of growing up and having "ah ha" moments along the way.
Perfect. This is essentially what I came here to say.
@@NikMoline Me too.
Yep.
Spoke to my family the other day who are in lockdown atm.
I was going out for a simple pub meal with some guys I used to work with and they were very envious even though they usually dine out way more than we do.
Amazing how even the simplest thing can look incredibly good when you can't have it any more.
How many wake up to that fact when it is too late to do anything about it?
Fatherhood is kicking in
Well said
I appreciate the honestly when he mentions being numb about buying these expensive cars
Even not knowing you personally, I can tell you're a guy with a good heart! Congratulations for the car, the channel and keep up thriving!! 👏👏
Since when does Hoovie do Karate in his intro? LMAO
He's been binging Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, looking for a Bentley Azure in the background somewhere...
Nah, member of the ministry of silly walks
Since now
since when he watched cobra kai :)
Probably a bet like on old U.K. TopGear
Hoovie never stopped being a used car salesman, he just changed his inventory layout and holds onto cars for far too long.
And bad one, at that.
@@AkarZaephyr bad one at that. he makes his $ $$$ in youtube views. smart guy.
Tyler, don't feel guilty for your success. You are where you are because of your effort. You identified a niche and turned into something you can be proud of. Thank you for providing endless hours of entertainment to all us car nerds. Have fun, branch out, explore new ideas, but never feel guilty.
So, now Hoovie will be MrBeast Jr. instead of daddy Doug Jr.
Hoovie will always be Doug's little baby boy.

Mercedes-AMG: "We did it in 2019 with a GT R"
I was watching that last night
truuuu
You did good, Hoovie.
The SLS is definitely one of the best looking cars period. Not just for Mercedes, but regarding all cars. It's so pretty, and I think the new AMG GT is a bloated, step backwards of a design.
I'm right there, Angel
Actually every mercedes supercar since the clk gtr (excluding the one) was a step backwards if you think about it
I think they said the AMG GT was not meant to be a true successor to the SLS AMG, even tho it's faster. It's also cheaper.
@@azertyaltin36 SLR was a step back?
@@yahstino the clk gtr was a homologation special not a super gt it was more exclusive and way more expensive
This is actually a pretty smart car to purchase, I predict this car will sky rocket in value in the future
As Clarkson once said, "Blind people can drive, just mostly into things."
🤣😅😆🤣😅😆
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yet they put brail on the drive-thru ATM's.
Wait Clarkson who?
I heard "SLS giveaway"
Probably the purple 911.

That's what i heard too.

Hoovie buying a car: "Just throw it on the pile."
Wizard jumped the shark in his last video as well. Sadly.
I just got a e60 m5 with 43k miles I couldn't be more happier!!!!
The numbness of living out a dream is understandable. I did that with some jobs and life experiences in the past.
I've never been able to do it with cars like ive always wanted,and some injuries and other issues keep me from solid work now to facilitate that ,but it is what it is.
Your channel and others like you help some of us share in your joy.
But if giving back still gives you that thrill,thats a great thing,and good on you for doing it.
A hooptie for many of us still brings alot of joy :3
You should talk about that or share that. I think that is something people really never realize one they are there and then do so many things to fill that numb feeling that leads to some kinds of spirals.
This a why we watch you, humble & down to Earth - Keep doing what you are doing!!!

Hoovie: "There's absolutely no way I'll lose money on this car. "
Mrs. Hoovie: "Ha! Save that bs for your subscribers."
I wasn't wrong when I've subscribed to Hooptie and Wizard for a while now. I have no intention of unsubscribing. I like that you where honest and self aware but not subject yourself fakery and pondering to people. It is a business after all. I'm glad I'm having fun watching you guys.
Did he just causally say that if the transmission went out it would be "about $30,000"?
Also, did he just say "German reliability"?
Yes, yes he did
Thats not actually that much in super car circles..
He probably wipes his ass with 30k
That m5 that he had, those transmissions can be up to 40 to 45k to replace.
Love the story behind your first car. Your grandmother always sounds so wonderful. Enjoy the new purchase
So, basically Hoovie gonna start Hoopties and Bids.
Doug Demuro... how can i make a ton of money... I can rip off Bring a Trailer! those guys are getting rich!
Don't you dare quit making videos, I watch every video you put out and you're the only channel I do that with, no one else do I watch everything they put out, always excited/curious what car you will get next. I guess it could be more fun if you started buying cheaper cars again but I'm happy to watch regardless if you buy a 3-cyl Geo Metro or your dream M-B 300SL Gullwing, keep making them and I'll keep watching them

I’ve always love the SLS AMG. You can’t deny this: THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. Very handsome with beautiful lines and an imposing character. Gorgeous, one day I will buy one. Congratulations Tyler!!!!
AMG GT look so much better than the SLS. This one is to long at front...

It's why they think poor people are buying $9 coffees. Its what it means to be out of touch.
When someone buys things to show off - to hell with them. When someone does well and buys things to share how cool they are - that's different. When someone talks about giving back after he/she's done well - that's even better.

He has given away a couple cars, I believe. One was a Lincoln Town Car, and another was a Lincoln MK VII.
Jeremy clarkson gave an old car away in new orleans after katrina, they sued him for 20k because it wasnt the exact model he told them he was GIVING them.
@@christianbuczko1481 That's because you have to report gifts like cars to the IRS for taxes. Gifts count as income. Those people got fined for reporting it as the wrong car, registering it as the wrong car, and having an incorrect title. THAT'S why they sued.

Man...this has been my dream car since I was a little kid. Ive watched the prices go way up and these become unattainable. The first time I saw one with the long nose and the gull wing doors I was shocked and instantly fell in love.
Right I would love one of these
Since you were a kid? How old are you again? The SLS hasn’t even been around a decade. Unless obviously your talking about the 300sl

Bo Sun ok I may have exaggerated on being a "little" kid, but I was definitely still a kid 10 years ago. 10 years is a long time.
I saw this upload a few days ago and refused to watch it at first because this is the first car that Mr. Hoovie has had on the channel that is truly a dream car for me... I have literally 100s of models, posters. brochures, even Race panels and my prized posseion of my AMG collection a single SLS Black rim mounted on my lounge wall. Well done Mr. Hoovie on all your hard work and effort it's paying off and thanks for all the entertainment... especially in 2020... I'm Australian and we started our year with devisating fires and I've been in isoloation for nearly 6 months.
Can Hoovie be more humble and aweoseme as a person and content creator?!
Its so humble to see someone buy car for the amount most people wont see in a life time
Adrian Balboa then show it off on his TH-cam channel for more money. But he’s poking fun at it and self aware so it must be ok right!? Lol.
Firstly THANK YOU for doing the Facebook live to announce this car. Secondly, Mercedes still has what AMG used to be. I hear so many people lament about how those cars are gone. However BRABUS are now to Mercedes as AMG used to be. Lastly, I like the idea of the channel pivoting, the one constant in life is change. Thank you for the content
Coming up: Here's what's broken in my cheapest dream car.
LOL problably. I saw it at the Wizard's shop last week but it was parked out front like it was just his mode of transportation that day.
Tyler, you have done a great job and entertained and educated us all. You’ve done what we would all like to try but are too chicken to, so it’s fun to see how it all plays out. You have earned every penny! It would be fun to see you help families in need to find amazing inexpensive cars they never thought they could afford and help them to fix them up.
Definitely one of the coolest cars to ever wear the Mercedes badge.
Last time I was this early Tyler still had the Apollo 911
He has bought one of Jeremy Clarkson's favourite cars, even though he is not a fan of the Gulwing doors.
Hahaha it's cuz Clarkson is old and fat "his words" haha it's to hard to get out of , probably why he sold his 05 GT to xD
at least say how much the cheapest SLS was....it truly is a dream car!
He hinted it was under 150k. Him being who he is, probably got another 10k knocked off that.
Celebrating 1 million subs with this car? You could not deserve it more, Hoovie. Keep up the awesome work! Been an avid fan for years.

Ugh this is one of my favorites on my grail list. Reminds me of Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up"
In June we had a big storm that caused a tree to fall and total my baby. The Challenger I loved for 9 years. Due to everything going on in the world, I was unable to get a replacement. Now I’m using a loner car (a pink 96 mercury cougar that runs horrible). Though I’m in a tight spot, I still love your videos and your car collection. And I’m always sad to see you sell a car. I know it’s not possible to keep them all, but don’t change too much. We love your videos and use them as a way to escape the crappy world as it is. I don’t know any of us who wouldn’t love to do what you been doing! Keep up the great work!
He drives it around corners like Jeremey Clarkson wit the ass end swinging around.. There is someone in England yelling “POWWWWWEER!” As Hoovie drives it...

Still quite impressive for a naturally aspirated motor.
And it's not turbo charged.

@@MOE-db8oc Less than 100HP/L in modern high dollar n/a cars is nothing special. Plenty of power and surely enough to suit the car but far from special. Porsche, bmw and honda were already doing 100+ hp/l in the 90's. This is working out to 91hp/l.
"LOOK AT ME, I'M COOL!" *(spoiler whirs like a dying robot)*
Why did I hear that in a Jeremy Clarkson voice😂😂😂
Ironically, that was the MOST un-cool moment in the entire history of youtube....
The hinges have a "shaped charge." They explode outward. Your head could literally be against the roof interior, and the charge detonating would do little more than give you a headache...
Personally this is the way I feel. Don't feel bad Hoovie. Yes the economy is a four letter word right now and people are struggling but I like watching your videos. It never gets old for me because I don't have any of these cars. There is no pinnacle. There is always something special you can share with us around the corner. And doesn't have to be a six figure car. It can be a $100 piece.
Also without going too in depth I really have a hard time with charity videos. They usually feel too contrived. Honestly when is the last time you saw James Bond saving puppies? Nah he drove undeniably shitty but beautiful cars that were usually more satisfying on a poster than they were to drive.
I do get what you mean about charity but I hope you won't stray too far from the hoopties. Love the random finds and hope you find more. Don't care about supercars that much. Too inaccessible in so many ways.
Thanks for the great vids!
Absolutely agreed, he should not feel guilty as he is down to earth and super smart guy, he never flexed like the other youtubers😃
Yeah, no. Most bond cars were fun to drive. Most certainly the famous ones...
@@godchi1dvonsteuben770 well I don't speak from experience and yeah I bet they are very visceral feeling but I just mean performance wise today they don't stack up. Some of them never did even back then.
I think maybe he doesn't 'flex like the other youtubers' because he obviously has a solid family foundation, and you can tell that when he speaks of his grandmother. It's a joy to see video of the two of them together!
Great turning point Hoovie. Can't wait to see the new stuff. I understand where you're coming from on this one.

You've officially reached the point where you're so rich that only making other people happy with your charity and seeing their serotonin release gives you one. Thats definetely a life goal. I started off rich-hating your channel but the more I realize how much you alone help the economy and all the people around you changed my view entirely. Wizard has a nice boat for his family to enjoy because of you and thats just the 1st example of many I could think of from my short time watching a few of your videos.
You say "when this car flips over" like it's an inevitability.
Actually Mercedes fits explosives into the door fasteners that will detonate if the car flips. They have thought of everything
The "lOok aT mE im CoO" at 6:49 was unexpected even for hoovie
Honestly at the rate things are going, hoovie will end up buying “the cheapest Bugatti” in the US
Awesome at the 13.00 minute mark - your humility and logical reasoning on your feelings was one of the highlights of all the videos you've made. I think only people who have been successful in whatever field they are in, whether it be intellectually or in business will understand 'that point' you get to. Let's see what Hoovie mk2 (? or 3 or 4 ??) can bring :)
I’ll never get bored of you buying cars, I love it! Since I’ve started watching your channel I’ve bought 3 extra cars much to my wife’s dismay 😆
"This is kind of a turning point"
I hope that means he's going back to hoopties and builds, because for me, that was more fun.

Yeah, watching a multi-millionaire buy another exotic car is about as exciting as watching granny play golf. Hoovie's not even excited, so what's the point.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Exactly, seeing him flaunt cash on exotic cars isn't what this channel was built on. It's plain obnoxious, and has been done dime a dozen by other TH-camrs.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH This video would have been more fun if the cheapest SLS had been a (badly) body-kitted Fiero, with panel gaps, wheels that aren't centered in the wheel-wells, gull-wing doors that just fall off when you exit the car, etc.
Said this months ago. Miss the old days of him buying an Buick from a grandmother in rural Kansas with 20,000 miles on it.
This SLS is an elegant beast... a beautiful monster. Love it!
My first thought was "wow, he's really got away from what made his channel so popular..." only to have him address that later in the video. That's why I will keep watching, he seems like a genuinely kind person who tries to keep himself in check in spite of his success.
