Thank you NAPA, that will save us from listening to a series of horrible lies about how great MVMT watches are.
I love Tyler and his videos, but I agree
Lol
Oof
If it means watching someone fulfill my dream of having a fleet of highly depreciated luxury cars, then I'll gladly watch the ad for those shitty watches
Tehgziz Lauw SAME
At least the sunroof switch broke with it closed, not open ;-)
Don't know about the Rolls, but my S class Benz hads a manual winder in the truck to close the sunroof if the power failed.

@@sb-ant6457 well this is 2005 rolls royce and your s class is i guess most modern? They didnt think like that in 2005
@@locasenior8229 of course they did back then. I run a few cars of around 2002 age and all of them have manual winders in the roof somewhere to close when the motors fail.
My 2002 BMW M5 has a manual winder to close the sunroof if the electronics fail
I have made a few auto mistakes in my day but after watching this poor guy I dont feel near as bad.
lol poor
Jeff You seem to miss the point of his videos. And he is far from poor.
He doesn’t mean poor as in financially struggling, he means unlucky/unfortunate you DUMB FUCKS
Mitchell Murdoch omg thank you. I didn’t want to have to explain it
jeff richardson
Fuck you, ass wipe
Try to do Uber in this car
jhkkjhk luxury rate but premium gas is too much
It's too old for Uber. Has to be a newer vehicle.
too old correct
Not true. Uber will let you run an older vehicle IF it's something classy/special. I was allowed to run my 1999 Audi S4 for Uber because it was "classy."
Richard_AKL facts
The child seat in the rolls just made my day! Love it when people actually use luxury stuff in their everyday life instead of admiring it and being all too careful about it.
Deathignator Mind you that his daughter is royal toddler.
I was driven around as a baby in a 1930 Essex with a child seat during the 90s haha so I totally agree
My grandma has a 1954 Bentley. Whenever my brother and I were picked up in it from elementary school, all of the parents were saying “that’s awesome”. I felt like royalty in that thing.
Lies.
I picture your daughter being very upset about you not picking her up in the Phantom. "Do you mistake me for a commoner Father?"

What about the umbrellas!?
He said they're 900 bucks for OEM. Would you pay that for 2 shitty umbrellas that will probably never get used?
And the delaminating rear window?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH yes
yeah
wait why are there only 16 likes on a verified comment?
I'm really curious to see how long this car can hold up as a daily driver. I personally believe this is one of your best decisions. That last thing TH-cam needs is another Ferrari or Lamborghini. EXCELLENT JOB Hoovie.
Thumbs up for Barney in the back seat.
say whaaaaaaat?...
Barney should be strapped to the Spirit of Ecstasy
Barneys gonna get him more problems with that seat belt check light on.
Not Microsoft's tho
$7,000 to completely repair a used Phantom sounds like a really great deal!!
Conor McGregor So he's going to buy groceries and make TH-cam videos in a rolls Royce.
I think it's cool.
Conor McGregor Just let Porker borrow it and collect the insurance money again.
@Conor McGregor khabib is going to turn you inside out.
You really need to fix your terminology. A rim is the metal rim, a tire is the rubber over the rim, and a wheel is them both assembled together....
@@gabrielcollazo6835 sorry wrong.. 99% of people call a "wheel" a rim and a "tire" is the rubber part.. worked in a few different dealerships over the years
Hey Hoovie, you made a great purchase. I want to see the switch repaired, the paint polished and buffed. You got a a half million dollar car for less than $90 thousand. I want another final scene on this amazing purchase.
Now with the gorgeous rims if you upgrade to the new Phantom headlights no one would be able to tell that’s not a brand new $500k one. Unreal!
yes‼
Cip Dumitrascu he’d have to get rid of the ugly ass fog lights too
I dig the new rims too.
David M .... Therefore if you say not, “you” must be joking??🤔🤔
Ah, the old 39th car dilemma.
Shout me out since I'm the only one who' noticed u
An age-old classic
He should get a falcon
How do you know it's the 39th?
@@bench175 last one was 38th.
This is awesome marketing on Napa’s part and hoovies’ not shameless shilling but actually informative and improves my opinion of Napa for making smart decisions and carrying stuff. A little bit of sugar always helps the marketing medicine go down
In UK its cheaper to shop on-line for car parts and as you say awesome marketing on Napa's part, with all the expense he needs all the help he can get, so they are both winners.
cheap chineese crap. I avoid those stores like the plague. I dont think Ive ever had a part last more then 10k km that I bought from the likes of napa, auto zone, auto value ect.
Haven't dealt with the stores you mention, like every country UK is flooded with Chinese stuff - I stick with known brands that have good QC
Kolin Stallman bro hate to burst your bubble, but in this world until tarriffs take and MAGA finally arrives it’s the world we’re living in unless you want to risk trusting eBay or pay dealership markup and guess what drumrolll more often than not that stuff is made in China too just costs more. Your comment doesn’t help Hoovie out much though
It's better then Rob Ferretti pitching underwear
I lived in Wichita from 1965 to 1969. Back then it was a really fun place for a kid who loved to go to air shows and tours of aircraft assembly plants. In my neighborhood there were giant subterranean storm drains we used to ride our bikes through.
There should be a large NAPA sticker on this car.
Is buying a 39th car ever worth it?
yes
If they go up in value then yes
no u
he's owned more cars in the past few years then I have owned in a lifetime. I'm at 40-something
just bought my 2nd woooo
Ignition coil for this Rolls Royce 2 times cheaper than for my old Volvo. Man, I knew it! I should've gotten a Rolls Royce.
Rolls Royce is basically a BMW
djvasforever lol
Coils for my truck are $125 a pop. I guess I should ditch the truck, and get a Rolls to save money. ;-)
Sakatoki91 BMW never has a chance to stand beside rolls
Sister in law had the brick station wagon needed a new Fuel pump f'ing thing was $400.00 I asked for one for a Delorean $75.00 lol. Same damn Bosch part number on them no difference. Other then the Item number for stock.
Thank you for fixing the trim in the back window. My OCD is okay now
I never get tired of watching your videos. Your real, and honest! You have a great personality and it’s captured in all your videos. (I too appreciated Barney in the backseat, that truly increases the value). Keep up the great work. :-)
Those rims look so much better.
I agree, its WAY WAY WAY BETTER than the previous rims
Agreed
previous rims muuuuch better looking.. but it is how it is
I actually prefer the original ones. The new ones doesn't look right in this car. It's weird. But it doesn't look bad also.
the old ones looked classier
Hoovie will make money when the TH-cam channel stops producing and he cashs out. Since he buys mostly hoopties, thecars are pretty well depercaited and he can sell them out at probably near what he paid, so the paid equity into the cars will be his when he sells them off. Since TH-cam pays for most of his payments, it's like a rental where he buys a property and then rents out, just its a car and he renting it to TH-cam viewers. I'm happy to pay my time to watch :)
Sounds like a high risk financial lifestyle. Limited liquidity and most assets held at depreciating assets that have holding costs (ie insurance,parts,repairs etc..)
@@videosuperhighway7655 indeed, but this is just a hobby that he does in his spare time. With all those burger joints he runs, I doubt the car thing is his livelihood.
this guy just leases cars and makes videos about it, autotrader put him and doug up to try to best motorweek but failed.
Always enjoy your videos! Your ups, and downs. Your honesty and delivery is entertaining! Keep them coming please👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love your channel, I'm from the UK and your videos are way more entertaining than anything you can get on terestrial or satellite TV. Best wishes and thanks.
I think this guy is secretly rich and we are totally oblivious
Hennessey Viper Venom he is, his father owned a series of restaurant franchises. that white Mercedes convertible was his very first car. he is old money, I still love his videos tho
I wouldn't say rich by todays standards but he does come from some money.
The Hoover's own and operate " Freddy's frozen custard and Steakburgers" big in the midwest and Canada.
He also lives in the mid west where land and property is significantly cheaper
Those burgers are the bomb. Tyler did a TV spot on our local news when they opened a new store here. If I had known I would have been at freddy's being a fan boy.
Someone do the math: How rich would Hoovie be if he just bought a Corolla and put the cost of the Hooptie fleet into stocks?
or a 1992 toyota celica for that matter
rev up your celica
Well if he did that then he would only have a handful of subscribers.
Broke very broke
Owning stocks dont't get you many TH-cam views.
At 40ish, I'm on my 7th car and the wife is on 2nd. This dude is definitely "winning" the game.
I’m 18 been driving for 6 months and already had 6 cars 2 golfs 2 maxi caddies an Audi A3 and a Passat wagon
Joshua Maxwell you bought shitty cars lol 6 months
Joshua Maxwell they didn’t even last so you had to keep switching ?
Joshua Maxwell why? that’s just dumb 😂. theyre although they’re cheap cars you couldve just sticked to one
I love how he’s just causally talking while driving with a Barney chill’n in the back seat😂
You'd think a $2,000 window regulator would last a bit longer. You can buy a Civic with original regulators still working for that price.
arthur kitchen Yes, yes, he is.
arthur kitchen You see plenty of people in their 20's and 30's driving around in Civics. You are entitled to your opinion, just don't expect others to agree or follow it.
@@Ethan7s yeah, but how about a 2000$ civic, not that many grown adults driving those
Hell, he could buy a civic with working regulators, replace those working regulators twice (just for the hell of it) and it would STILL be cheaper!
One broke in my VW Phaeton (Bentley chassis) and it cost 700 dollars. Car only had 30K on it at the time. This seems to be a common problem with Rolls-Bentley cars. The part that held the glass at the bottom was plastic and it broke, if you can imagine.
Last time I was this early, Dougie was still marveling at the Mercedes parts on an Aston.
Habu12 you mean ford...
Not even mad about the Nappa ad. Happy to see you on the come up good Job.
I'm glad they sponsored you. You and your hoopty fleet are perfect advertising of their brand.
Shout out to Barney in the back.
That's Sir Barney of Grey Poupon.
The car needs an "I Hate Barney" bumper sticker like I had on my car in High School. It got me many compliments from suffering parents.

If a switch breaks when you push it the wrong way it's a crap switch (and a crap UI).
Most things about this car are crap, except for its stature.
I blame plastic where there should be metal. Rolls never used to use plastic anywhere.
I think it's because he used glue to fix it
The new wheels look lovely!
As for escalating up to more and more expensive cars... I actually REALLY REALLY enjoy your cheaper, more atainable cars and I think buying more cheap gems would be great fun! Yes they'll invariably cost you money in repairs, but the initial outlay would be far less.
Perhaps buying a turbo petrol Audi would get great views, you could bling it up to the max to make it look mean but point out how all the parts are pretty much Passatt bits
Road trip to Colorado in phantom: this episode brought you by AAA.

I love that your videos are short and to the point. I don't have time to get bored watching them. Dougs videos start out interesting, but they're just toooooooo freaking long and I get bored watching them.
Keep up the good work guy 👍
Thos wheels TRANSFORMED the car, it looks 3 times as expensive now
I assume you're being sarcastic. If not, get your eyes checked. The consensus here is that they look like cheap dime store ricer knock-offs.
I agree they look so much better than the originals.
I miss the w123 videos :( because of those beauties i started to watch your videos
True, I would love some videos going back on to his classics!
I've thought about making some (better) videos on my two w123's

@@trunksbriefs8434 yeah but I feel like a die a little bit every time I drive it depression is definitely taking hold
Honestly, as tough and as costly as it's been, I admire the work you put in. By fixing these things, you've actually added value. You should be able to sell it for as much (more maybe) than you paid because you freed it from the encumbrances on its valuation. Drive it an be happy. I would love to see it in person if you make it out to Denver.
So glad to see your update. And most grateful for your tip...NAPA auto parts as I have an 87 Silver Spur. I've owned and loved her for 12 years but I cringe when I get spark plug cables etc. My only consolation of going to the dealer is they treat me like Royalty either because it is a Rolls or because they want my yo buy a new one,lol.
I wanna see if he can find the cheapest yacht.

I'm so glad Fam you got those panels fixed! She looks Great! 💯
I love how he called it his hooptie fleet! Dude I just subscribed simply because he said that. It made me happy

Or just drive around in jeans and a ratty looking T-shirt.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH he already is lol
Bet he's on food stamps already with all these cars and repairs..
I never believed it but my dad told me about this guy who used to park his Rolls a block away and walk to get in line at the Soupateria. Maybe that's all he could afford after paying for maintenance on his car.
Today hoovie admits he has a problem and is barely affording his addiction
Not really he's from old money so he can totally afford it
Very interesting to watch the progress! Keep it going 👍🏻
NAPA auto parts has never let me down!
You have to hand it to him, when he goes in he goes balls and all.
No fault of mine, I was born in a Rolls family. My favourite: Camargue ...I am 80 ..I would touch neither the Rolls nor the Bentley with a barge pole. They are BMW and VW emblazoned with glitz. Who wants a twinkling starry ceiling and for what? Times have changed, so have people and their mode of transportation. Those who bought these cars have graduated to Private Jets, Helicopters and Very Fast Trains. Japan and China have taken these to new heights. I live in London. Paris to Brussels 1:24 hours, to London 2:26 hours ... centre to centre. They have beaten short flights.
VW Phaeton beats Bentley and BMW 760 beats Phantom ...I have a fully loaded BMW 750iL V12 ...The only change I made was to put a slightly low profile tyres on front wheels for cornering at high speed. She is a dream in 'Sports' mode.
Wow..great insider's perspective!👌
You are star in the making. Brilliant vids Hoovie.
Really enjoy the way you cover all the issues of this story. Hope you get a lot of pleasure out of driving it.
I think that I might’ve started with a ‘mint’ Silver Seraph. As impressive as the Phantom is... the cost of entry probably would have saved you $50 grand in itself. And I can’t imagine the maintenance issues would be as ‘Lethal’. Best of luck! And as always... Thanks for the video.
Constructive criticism: your intro/outro music sounds like it was lifted from a training video for rookie insurance adjusters circa 1992. But maybe that is on purpose (?). Other than that, love the vids!
I'm so glad the back trim piece was mentioned. I'm not normally OCD but when I am god help us all.
Yes, you are right, "I found a place in Arizona that can rebuild ..." is
the best solution when the manufacturer quotes some looney price for
some $5 item.
Being able to find generic parts is as good a
solution. Pity that whenever I call places like Napa, the call dies
completely immediately I mention Rolls Royce or Bentley. They claim not
to list or know about any parts for these cars. They won't look it up,
cross check or do ANYTHING to assist. Even when I try to say that the
part is exactly the same as a (for example) Saab!
I stopped keeping track of what I spend on my project until I’m done. It’s just too painful to keep going if I know how much I’ve sunken into my hobby.
This guy needs more subscribers
you're right , this channel is better than most of the shit on TV.
I grew up in Wichita, I keep watching the scenery as you drive
So glad you have sponsors :)
While i will likely never be in the rolls royce market, it amazes me just how poor the quality is in these ultra-expensive vehicles. So many things that needed to be glued back on etc. Sometimes, you *don't* get what you pay for.
You are paying for the name and for fancy gadgets. There is far more on these cars to go wrong.
General Zod yes; Since it went to BMW
Ive owned a bentley before and loved it...but you have to ask ,why are they such shit engineers??? Why does everything break on a 10 year old car at that price point???? My lexus LS430 is pretty much pristine after 17 years...the lexus would only not start once since ive owned it and that was because it ran out of petrol...lol
because they are built for rich people and they dont want the likes of peasants being able to afford such luxuries so they designed to last until the elites have finished with them and then thrown away, they could make them last if they wanted to.
i have a 93 LS400 over 350,000 miles on it Still runs good just the pump went out on the air ride and steering pump some hose is leaking into the engine and smoking when i fill it up so I just went to Manual steering and for the Air ride went over to shocks. and only time it wouldn't start on me was -6 f and the battery was dead.
They're designed to be the best of the best for the first five to seven years of ownership, at which point the average Rolls/Bentley/SClass/whatever owner would most likely upgrade to a newer model anyway. I thing they really are the best of the best for the first few years, but. I have so much respect for Toyota/Lexus, you drive one thats been maintained normally for 250k, still drives like new. You pay a premium for being "just" a Toyota, but you're given quality and reliability, I can't imagine the cost of pushing a rolls that far, you would need to BEG for parts and probably have to have many of them custom made if you want to have your car on the road more than its in the shop.
it would have been interesting if Toyota bought Rolls Royce instead of BMW. But if you look at the Lexus 600H with an 8 cylinder engine and hybrid drive, perhaps mechanically it might be superior to the Rolls, but without the "cache" of the Rolls name & heritage!
Great and funny all at the same time! What an adventure with the big Roller. Liked
Been waiting for this forever!
you should buy the 1986 cheapest hyundai pony on autotrader.
Mike Dancy Imagine if Hoovie bought the most expensive Geo metro.
They all rusted away
Mike Dancy was the Hyundai Pony ever sold in the US? I don’t believe I have ever seen one here in California
That'd be awesome.
I want to see a 1970's Pinto blow-about!
“Thank you for watching this train wreck of a life that I have. *hops in Rolls Royce*” 😂
Ha
NAPA is the only place I can find parts for my Military Deuce and a Half. I have no idea why they stock an air filter the size of a whisky barrel but I'm glad they do.
You got off cheap on your repairs. You know your stuff. Thank God you have people that treat you rite on the repairs. Good niche channel you have

That car and the Vette? He’s been ignoring them
@@thelastmemphian he sold the vette
I really like these new wheels. Good choice, to me.
Yeah, except they look like cheap knock-off ricer wheels from the back of a car magazine.
For some reason they remind me of Bentley wheels from the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
I 've been waiting for this video long time, so I guess need to wait for next video much longer!
Man we get the biggest kick out of your videos.....love'em......
Scotty Kilmer calls it a endless money pit for a reason ;)
that reason is clickbait
Well, it doesn't take a genius to know that a Rolls Royce is well over a money pit. Usually why only multi millionaires own them for not even a few thousand miles.
And why the deprecation on a new Rolls is something like 4 dollars a mile that you drive it.
Love Scotty, but he needs to borrow Darth Vader's voice machine for his videos
It's fine good things cost money
It's not a Toyota or course he hates it
Tyler, you keep mentioning how expensive the window regulators are. But people in the comments were constantly saying they're just out of a 7 Series. Can you give us a definitive answer on that?
Looks like the same design as a 7 series, but different enough to be Rolls Royce specific?
Ok, fair enough. Rather unfortunate.
Thank you for making this video outlining your ridiculous expenses on the Rolls. I am watching this with the volume up sitting next to my wife. Makes the costs associated with my e39 540i seem very affordable.
Actually, you have done pretty well with this Phantom all things considered. Honestly I think you you received a better deal than the dealer intended. The drive train is solid, and it is really a beautiful car. Now that most of the common wear and engineering glitches have been fixed you have a fine automobile that you can keep long term. There is no better road car for comfort and driving enjoyment. Just be sure the Wizard gives it a thorough check up before you head to Colorado just to be on the safe side. I'm looking forward to your reporting from the road. Please do several. Have a fun trip.
Get that Napa money, and buy the cheapest R8 or GTR in the country.
I can picture a video with a GTR with this title, "I HAVE TO REBUILD MY GTR TRANSMISSION"
frostshock13 The R8 YES
V10 R8!
Oooooooo
TheAKBUDDHA1 lmao
so what we've learned is Rolls Royce's are expensive to run and maintain, who knew!
rabbitss11 Huh, I always thought gaudy luxury German cars would be reliable. Silly me.
just one big learning curve all round
and garbage that breaks very easily
I love this reality show for hoovies cars
You fixed the rear window headliner!....good job!
The wheels look absolutely awesome! Btw, I didn't catch the name of that auto parts store. (c;
Don't be a dumbass fool. Those wheels look like shit, and everyone with an inkling of taste, knows it.
I wonder how many watches he's going to have to sell just alone to pay off the repairs for the Phantom... in two months it's going to be two minutes car video plus eight minutes advertisement just to cover the interest payments caused by the other two minutes.
A beautiful motor vehicle. I've just subscribed and look forward to more quality content. Hi from over here in England.
Just love your train wreck life and car madness. My fave channel on TH-cam 👍🏼😎
Way to come through, Napa Auto Parts! 👍🏼
You should add a saab 9-3 to your fleet.. they’re quirky and to some people are expensive to fix but it would be nice to show people that Saabs aren’t money pits as society believes..
NAPA Auto parts stores were always way better than the other chain stores. Like, the people behind the counter know what they are talking about. Saved me many times.
I liked the idea of doing the old XJ8 Jag. A CL600 or other MB V12 cool to do too. Old BMW.
Train wreck of a life??
And how many guys out there wouldn't trade their situation for one that centered on traveling all over the place buying cars and making money just for mentioning Napa. In other words just being on cruise control day after day???
I don't call that a Train Wreck. Would be a dream job for most..
99% Isopropanol should do the trick to clean the hood from glue.
Sure like the 2017 Wheels.
I bought a $15000 1997 Rolls Spur Turbo last month with 68000 Kilometers.
Just love it! Having fun fixing stuff.RR's are such a special experience to drive.
Man, I love NAPA Autoparts. It is my go to auto parts dealer. I just wish there where more locations
