    I have to say i like him filming himself better I know its probably easier for him to have a cameraman but it feels more like a flying wheels video with him filming and I just love that closer connection thats one reason i love this channel

    When you bring your scan tool to the auction, check to see if the monitors are set. If they're set, nobody has cleared a code. If the monitors are not set, someone recently erased a code.

    I am glad the Subaru buyer is happy! I may or may not have crashed my fathers 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi turbo. Automatic, maroon and silver two tone, cloth seats. I learned what under steer in the rain was the hard way. What is funny is my dad paid $6500 for it from a local Nissan dealership and he was paid out $12,000 by insurance.

    I owned a 1996 Subaru outback manual transmission for a short time once. It needed a lot of work, but the AC was COLD, heater was HOT, and all the gears worked at 218,000 miles. It was so much damn fun in the snow. Love Subarus. Sold it to a guy in a brand new Dodge Ram who I think was buying a family member a beater car. Told him all the problems I knew of in complete honesty but he was just super excited about the specs of the vehicle lol.

      At the start of the video he announces he has a cheque for $27735. Maybe that's the sale price plus on road costs ??
      At the end of the video he says he sold it $25050. (26k - $950 delivery)
      In the comments he says the repairs were $650.
