Done👍 Good on ya for supporting other content creators man! Community not Competition👍
Enjoyed your video. I'm from Lockport NY which is about 20min from Buffalo. Like some of the scenery.

YOu're funny..I live in Cbus and it's way too far south for you to be going through there. That's gotta be Cleveland and uhh.Toledo is a few hours from there.
Set a run by Cadillac read the badge on the Hood kid
That accident is a stark reminder of just how dangerous driving is--drive defensively! Wear a seatbelt! Wherever you're trying to go is not worth putting yourself or others in danger. Glad no one lost their lives, but obviously double amputation is life-changing. Stay safe out there 👏
those OLD GM keys bring back a lot of memories of grandmas old station wagon.
Did she have a 71-76 clamshell wagon?
I remember the first time I saw one of these, someone down the street had one when I was a kid. I had no clue these existed and all I could think was “who the F sticks Cadillac badges on a Cavalier?” Apparently the answer was GM LOL
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
gm is the king of rebadging
Everyone needs a friend like Jeb!
Does Jeb Ever go anywhere without getting Lost 🤣🤣🤣
i know i never do !
I heard he got lost on the way to his suburban from his house
In his defense Logan can be a brutal place to get in and out of, especially if you aren’t familiar with Boston and the Mass-hole drivers :)

I agree 100% I drive truck for a living I’ve been to Boston three or four times I haven’t been in the north east in the lash five years don’t care if I never go back
Hey it was the gps fault 😂 should have just read the signs
Its a 1000 miles to Wisconson
Weve got a full tank of gas
Half pack of slim jims
Its dark
And were wearing sunglasses
Hit it!!
road trip and car sale in ONE..PS you were getting mighty close to Canada...i bet the Canadian alarms went off..LOL
Bought a 1982 Olds X-body Omega new. I had to do a couple things over the next 15 years to keep it running and out of the junkyard, but I put over 170,000 miles on it and everything still worked on it when I sold it in the late '90's for a few hundred bucks to a single mom who needed transportation. These '80's GM cars were budget friendly and surprisingly reliable.
The older cars are the best i still drive older stuff daily. Sucks about the truck driver
17:39
Bet people were making angry wisconsin voices after seeing you do that
lol
I love how bad the road instantly turned when you crossed into NY. I see NY has universally bad roads no matter which part of the state.
You know how many cars ply that road on a daily basis ? Ever heard of the City that never sleeps ? Of course the roads gonna be f*vcked, NY is like a corridor state, pls tell us how many tourists come to NY annually.
Vice Grip Garage would be proud of this video. haha My ''newest'' vehicle is a 1990 Jeep Cherokee XJ as I refuse to drive anything newer that I can't repair myself. I feel 1990's was when combustion engine cars were at their peak. Anything now is over engineered with ''luxuries'' we don't need. Until electric cars are cheaper and charge stations more available, I'll continue to drive the older cars. Thanks for showing your trip, hope your knee feels better. haha
These are known as a "Glorified cavalier" around here, actually not a bad car if their in the condition as the one you have, Liked, Have a safe trip
I was about to say the same thing!! The Cavaliers were a pretty good car, But... the bodies Always rotted badly and quickly!
First thing I think of when I see the dash is "cavalier".. my ex-girlfriend from yeeeeaaaars ago had an old cavalier with that dash.
Thanks for the memories...
I was gifted one of these by a elderly neighbor that could no longer drive and was moving to a assisted living facility.
I had done chores for her for years and she knew I was saving for a car.
It was seven years old at the time but had less than 10k miles and had ALWAYS been meticulously maintained and garaged since new.
I drove it through my final two years of high school and all through college and veterinary school.
It finally died when it was rear ended at a stop light.
It had 256k miles and the only thing that didn't work was the cassette player.
It was incredibly reliable and durable.
Never failed to start or left me stranded.
Hardly the best car I've owned but wasn't nearly as bad as urban legend suggests.
Nice to see all those old GM J-Body’s in relatively great shape, I’ve only seen a handful in my life.
I’m already a subscriber of Brusters Beaters. I have one of his old cars 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport. Love your videos!
I'm glad you still enjoy that car. A lot of memories with that one, for sure.
I remember going to a supermarket, in Jersey City, in early 1982. Outside the entrance there was parked a shiny black Cimarron, obviously new, with a smart young man behind the wheel. Two elderly women, evidently known to him, and who would certainly remember the Cadillacs of the 40s and 50s and 60s, were loudly and determinedly telling him "THAT AIN'T NO CADILLAC!".
That is amazing. I remember always wanting one of those as a kid. Great work.
GM's J car was sold in Europe as the Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Ascona. The modern equivalent is the Vauxhall/Opel Insignia. GM ended up selling the Vauxhall and Opel brands to Groupe PSA so the new models are basically rebadged Citroens and Peugeots.
Those 60 degree GM V6s were fantastic engines! So underrated compared to the 3.8s but I think equally good and reliable…Plus good mpgs!
Thank you for the video. Great trip.
That's long trip cleaned out the entire fuel system and sludge in the engine. I had an 88 for 12 years. Only issue was at the end when the entire electrical harness fried. I would get another in a heartbeat.
Not often you hear about Wisconsin on UA-cam... so this peaked me interest :D
Wiping down old wipers with WD-40 on a paper towel will make those old wipers work fine for a while.
I respect your work ethic and skill. I also appreciate your chill attitude .
Just subscribed to bruisers beaters as I have a beater myself I’m trying to put back to original. Both of your channels are awesome and I thank you first and foremost for your videos and content as well as your time invested in making these videos and as well as introducing me to bruisers beaters. Cant wait for the next car/ video. Have a great day. 20:44
Just found you and this video through a recommendation watching some Vice Grip Garage, Restored, and Junkyard Digs. I spied a Cimarron!? Hell yea! Unusual car for these videos, great trip! New subscriber here!
Love from London, Ohio!
Amazing as always. Kudos for the great job in this channel
tasty cassette AM/FM for the Cimmie! Sweet!
Great trip. It was hilarious to get a repair kit from the new owner for the trip. ARV delivers.
Awesome video. Nice little Cadillac. One of my uncle’s all he drove was Cadillac’s from the 70’s and 80’s. The land yacht’s.
nice Video Bud, I'm glad it wasn't you having an accident, thank you for sharing your Trip!
Very nice video:) I do wish the video , like all of them was longer tho but looking forward to your next one! I love your road trip videos keep it up:)
This V6 60 degree and the general electrónics off the engine are soo good and reliable. Here in Mexico have a lot of Cavaliers, Cutlass Ciera and Buicks with that mechanics without mayor issues prior the age of the cars
I been waiting for this video for weeks, great job.
Mobil 1 is all I use for both filters and oil. Love to see it!
I have an 2.8 1988 s10 with the EFI and it also has a stiff Gas Pedal. The throttle bodies are just made with a certain way of spring tension so a lot of people have that complaint. Changing the decant cable and the throttle cable did not do anything so after that I found two solutions to save my right knee. 1. I was able to add a solid state cruise control from an 89 c body GM truck (not the older vacuum kind) . I found it in the junk yrd. I did a few attempts and a lot of research on s10 and other gm truck forums before I found the exact right one that could take the VSS signal from the OBD1 wires, and the 88 s10 had a specific optically generated speed signal relating to the speedometer since that was one of the first years they transitioned to electronic generated speed signals for the cars computer and speedometer operation. So it works great except that the cruise thinks the truck is 1/2 the speed it is really going so therefore the cruise can only turn on a speeds of 50 MPH or greater than 50 (most cruises are set to work at 25mph or more). #2. I added a spring to counter the tension of the throttle body spring. So it pulls in the opposite direction. I had to find just the right spring so that this did not make my idle speed increase. Now I can drive and it feels like a normal gas pedal and i have cruise on the hwy.
You and Jeb are glued together lol
I love the Cadillac CIMARRON and also love the 2.8Liter V6 engine 😍😀
Great video. Great surprise to see a clean looking A-body Celebrity, haven’t seen one on the road in at least 5 years. Another car that once was as common 25 years ago on the road as a Camry is today.
PS - I’m a lifetime MA resident and still can’t get to Logan without taking at least one wrong turn :) I fly in and out of Manchester NH whenever possible.
RV, glad everything worked out....had my fingers crossed the whole trip. Good vid!
Wow his Celebrity is awesome! 2dr's are so scarce now and its beautiful, my 86 is a 4dr but the only one around in WNY! Nice vid!
Keep doing what you're doing man youre going to have a good life... and yah what someone else said, keep friends like Jeb around you too. Cheers!
“Cimarron always gets the finnest”
😂😂😂😂
Cool vid man! I kept waiting on a "side of the road" shot. Never happened kudos GM.
Keep putting these rare vehicles on the road. Great job
I had a 1989 Cavalier Z24 with the 2.8 V6 - have to agree with Bruisers Beaters that the bigger engine makes for a fun J-body!
Wow. Wait you’re at 45k subs!? Dude I’ve been watching you for almost 2 years, I think you were at like 11k when I started. Huge respect🙏
Man this is a dream come true !, Who doesn’t like a cimarron! I want it! But it’s sold I see!
Great job and awesome driving the 1987 Cadillac CIMARRON
That is one fancy Cavalier!!!
That oil filter never coming off . Loll 😂😂😂.
Cool Journey..I drove Big Rig many years back .I miss it
New subscriber and I’m loving the content! Let’s get you the subscribers you deserve.
I'll give you a fun little clue for removing oil off of the floor use the dust from a charcoal grill after it's all burned out the powder of the charcoal dust absorbs the oil like a magnet
Great video wow so much thought into it cant wait for next journey
We got these as the Opel Ascona C. There was a sporty SRi and a 'luxury' trimlevel Berlina, 1.3L, 1.6L, 1.8L and a 1.6 Diesel. Also in 5dr hatchback.
Decent cars back then.
Nice. I use that same cookie container for zip ties and bungie cords😁
3:15 Nice tour of Brattleboro VT! 8:10 Rt 7 Troy NY...famously known to locals as 'Troylet".
awesome.... In 2003 I drove a 1989 Mercury Tracer from SC to NY, and it overheated within 15 miles...LOL but I just keep a 5 gallon jug of water in the car and stopped to refill the radiator and allowed it to cool a couple of times, replaced the water pump the next week and it ran like a top till I traded it in 2007.
19:13 ahhhh KSHE radio. I live in Missouri. That’s my favorite station right there.
Nice video.. Tempo and road music great...
I stayed at that 1st stop off the thruway in ny, the plumbing was less than stellar no water pressure, ac barely worked, on to the next car adventure 👍🏼
"There's nothing else to it, but to do it!"
Some bumper sticker/t-shirt slogan there.
That Cimarron went to a great home! Sucks about the truck driver, be thankful you didn't leave 60 seconds earlier 😬
Glad u made it and the car didn't break down
It has cruise control I saw the switch for it on the turn signal stock, that's where they are on a lot of old cars.
Good to see it went to a good home
I think its cool you traveled near my hometown. Im about 30 minutes away from Canandaigua
and i've watched a shit ton of youtuber's w/ their fixer up cars and trucks, but fixing a Cimarron is a top 10 move my dude.
2:45 when your on the toilet and that one plop just gets that water everywhere. 😭😂 sry I had to.
So glad the Cimarron is at a loving home! Hope it'll serve Bruiser Beaters for many years to come!
Damn I hope the truck driver is doing okay mentally without his legs...
But I think Jeb has done well getting to Logan, it's not an easy place to navigate so I've heard!
Can't believe it. No check engine light. Good job.
Great video ,man I hope that Truckee is ok .👍
The Cavalier from this generation also had a V-6. The 3.1 V-6 could really move the Cavalier. I had one.
RV, you ain't scared to get dirty! That's for sure!!!
Was Jeb driving in Wisconsin? He went straight in that turn lane by the gas station.... lol
Lol
You’re an inspiration!
My heart goes out to that truck r and his famley and friends. Nice cavaler.
VSS probably has CE light on too. Also TCC lockup solenoid on the THM125 Trans are junk. Some would intermittently lock, fail to lock, or stay locked up causing engine to stall when coming to a stop. But again lockup needs speed input to ecm to work.
Holy crap I did some research on that truck accident and the 53 year old guy driving died, he was with his 12 year old son who thank god is alive and well now. They think it was distracted driving. So crazy.
Where did you see that story?

That was an awesome road trip.
That was a nice trip. Jeb i lost?! Thats not possible hahaha
hahaa
Love your vids
Chevy Citations had the thermostat right, remove the radiator cap and there it was, no tools required.
I can't remember the last time I saw a Celebrity 2-door in such good condition. I'm guessing sometime while Reagan was in office.
9:00 imagine being a delivery driver in a old manual transmission with a stiff clutch 😂😢😩. I know that pain
that whole generaton went away fast. the iron duke 4 banger hung on for the little cooler it ran. More engine bay room, and it is skinny. I worked at a quick lube 93-94. Thousands of these.
older the car the better, more simple and built with quality
Makes me miss my old 87 cimmarron.
Love your videos
8:16 Troy NY - you drove right by my street a couple miles back. Sorry about the traffic lol!
Got good taste in cars.... Merry Christmas...........
Great video ⚡️👍
Great video and you can always count on a GM. Awesome memory for me, I took my Driver's Ed course in a 1986 Chevy Celebrity. Jeb, is always the co pilot in the travel videos.
Good trip well prepared
Thing started up like a champ 3:57
At least you didnt get too messy when the filter dropped. Lol
At 2:50 I thought that was the bottle jack giving lord forbid
I see you were driving down Hoosick st in Troy, NY. That street is almost always horrible with the traffic on it.
