I’m not a mechanic, but I do get to have a lot of fun by pretending to be one and buying cool but throughly questionable vehicles and failing my way through fixing them.

Welp, temptation is a hard thing to say no to. In this episode I buy a bike I totally didn’t need but absolutely wanted. And one that’s full of problems to boot. I guess Mecum got more under my skin than I thought.
What Did I Buy At Mecum? And Other Controversies. My Mecum Jan 2024 Las Vegas Wrap Up
Переглядів 2,3 тис.4 місяці тому
Well, Mecum 2024 Las Vegas is in the books and what a ride it has been (pun intended). The big thing everyone is talking about is the 1974 Kawasaki Z2 with a frame number that asks more questions than it answers. But there were some other controversies as well. All in all it was a good time. Plus I bought something…..

Thanks for capturing our group of Mopars (and friends) while at Scott's house.
My pleasure!
Great videos but PLEASE learn how to correctly pronounce "Moto Guzzi" - it''s actually Moto Goot-zee 😊
🤣especially since I’ve owned 2. However I feel like this is one of those Porsche vs Porsche-ah things where it’s subject to regional accents
@@MechanicalAdvantageGarage Yeah I don't think its regional - and my family is from Italy 🇮🇹 But I gotta say you totally nailed the pronunciation of those Termignoni exhaust! Molto Bene 👍
Ruined via LS
🤣
Love those BMW to VW engine conversions. I wish they would offer the engine adapter.
To be honest, the engine adapter isn’t the hard part, it’s cutting the frame and stretching it about 2 inches in each direction.
To slow on the shift!!!
He wasn’t racing just going for funsies
An electrical nightmare !
Yup
Falcon is burning some fuel running at 3500 ? Needs an overdrive , that fan is working hard too 😅
Old cars struggle with new traffic
dream car
Mine too
still a 4 door
🤣
IN 1957 they would have told you that a coup is where chickens live...this is a coupé. We had a copper colored 57 Chevy. It was in near mint condition... and my father traded it in as he always did. We also had a 67 Mustang. Fortunately, my brother rescued that one.
Great memories
The traction bars man I remember
👍
Carrying a 4th Gen glock, keeping it real.
🤣
Miss the good days just riding around and listen to real music and love the old cars
That is my 1962 Corvair Greenbrier that you staged behind. Air cooled flat 6. 22.95 seconds @ 58 mph. Mine stayed cooler by leaving it running. Peace.
Air cooled means it has a fan blowing on it, so of course it stayed cool by running. My GTO isn’t that lucky - the mechanical fan doesn’t work as well.
Nice!!!!! My dream car ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s so pretty it is a dream
Damn that thing is beautiful my mom had one
It really is, your mom was very lucky
Great video ...
Thanks! First time adding music, so what was in the editing software ended up being too loud in UA-cam. Also discovered the mics pick up the ignition system in the car after the footage was shot was a wake up call. Still in try to do my best.
That A hole in the white kia clearly has no concept of drum brakes.
Would love to see more GTO videos this season!
Gonna make it happen!
Sorry I missed you! Was hoping to meet. Ran in to Austin and he said you’d made some runs. I might have you on video too.
Yeah, it wasn’t a good weekend for the GTO, an ailing fuel pump made it hard to start, hard to idle when hot, and bogged every run into the 15s. I would have liked to have met, I spend most of the day there but was bopping around. Maybe at the next event, the season is just warming up and there are still good guys, roadkill nights, and other events coming up.
I know how it is. Made the whole power tour so we weren’t there a super long time. Oh and there’s the Pontiac Nationals coming up too!
Eye fuckin another man's ride is like eye fuckin his woman.
Are you on power tour this year?
Not the whole thing, no. I couldn’t get the time off from work. But NTR is 40min from my house so I took the day off the joint the tour and head over.
Great music choice
very nice hopefully i will be their next yr if they have the bikes i want how far in advance do u know what they will have at auction will be my 1st
Usually you will know 6 months out. Sign up for Mecum’s website and they will tell you when they listed the lights
@@MechanicalAdvantageGaragethank you appreciate the info
Haha. Not even close to Road Runner horn
Sure looked like one with the hood up
Yay...the cassic Webley Vickers 50/80...can the Old Poop be far behind?
Finally someone that read cycletoons growing up!
@@MechanicalAdvantageGarage Yup...part of my mis-spent youth
I swear I used to see town cars pulling airstreams when I was a kid.
Yeah but those were big old American boats. Even a 1st or 2nd gen Firebird has more in common with a truck than this car.
AND
And nothing, it’s awesome.
Who cares. It’s like 800 pounds.
You see a lot of sports cars towing stuff?
That's a beautiful ass bike
It’s cool.
I bet he getvso much box's...nice
I bet you are correct
@@MechanicalAdvantageGarage NOW THATS BOSS!!!!!!
Again, filmimg while driving..
I have to give you something to comment on 😉
I always admire a man that knows what he wants and how to get the job done.
Exactly
Ever see drag week? 1000+ hp cars pulling trailers. Not that uncommon
Yes, they drove through Columbus last year.
Well if it works
Kind of how I feel
If they make a hitch for it then it’s designed to tow
True
Tell me you're from Florida without telling me you're from Florida.

A crappy little Yamaha at that lol a 250cc Virago.
Meh, a bike is a bike
Trans ams are cool RIP BURT REYNOLDS
RIP
RIP BURT REYNOLDS
RIP
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing at all!!!
Had a guy in my town , he hauled a snowmobile with a C6 Vette. Ya use what ya got
What a hero!
I would say that towing anything with a Firebird is a shame, but it's a motorcycle! A motorcycle and a Firebird just go together so well!
I think trans ams are cool RIP BURT RENOLDS🤙🏼🤴🏻
I agree
America!
Eff yeah!!!!
Had a 76 LTD Brougham Landau and I made the same mistake with the tires so when I went through water, talk about slippery, I was all over the road.
👍
legit never seen anyone go anything cool in this car jus creeeeepin around
It’s cool for sure, dude drives the heck out of it too.
Thank you for doing this video it helped a lot
I’m glad it was helpful.
Good info on the impeller clearance. Here's another trick to keep your Poncho cool. ua-cam.com/video/9ou2GKZFf3Q/v-deo.html
Good info!
Hey, at least you dont have to ride the bus !
🤣
How do I reach you? I now own that bike. Love to talk about her history
mechanical.advantage.garage@gmail.com I assume you mean Mike’s old VW?
Let's go!
I mean, neighbor offers you a ride in a 350 4speed real SS, you take it!
