    The Phaeton is a dressed down Bentley Flying Spur. I know someone who owns one. Brand new it was close to $100,000. You should still get this one Randy.
    Lexus...its worth repairing

      The story of why it exists is pretty interesting too. It was a project lead by the VW group CEO at the time. He was determined to make a “luxury car for the people”. Although the price was only a little less expensive than the A8, it ended up being a sales failure. People didn’t want a luxury car with the VW badge.

    Go for the Phaeton!!! she may be very collectable soon, she has an interesting story involving Ferdinand Piech and his sick obstination to create an impossible S-Class 'killer'. The cool factor about the Phaeton is that never pretended to be cool (in my opinion).
    Would be great to watch you putting her in the road again.

    The Phaeton isn't a bad car at all and has tons of cool features but I would get the Lexus especially because that actually runs just got to fix the smoke coming from it and should be good. Maybe some paint correction and it would be pretty slick and look nice. As always Randy love the videos keep them coming. Nice stuff.

    Randy you just got my upmost respect sir. As a 26 year, now unfortunately disabled, over the road driver it brings a tear to my eye that finally someone with a large listening audience spoke the truth if ever told it. Thank you Mr Randy for speaking on the behalf of my fellow drivers thank you. In 97 I lost a dear friend and a hell of a co- driver because an idiot was in a hurry causing a major accident by passing us on the right shoulder and clipping our front passenger wheel which at 70mph 80,000 pounds makes a sudden movement guess what happens next. Long story short he just took over his turn 15 mins in and lost his life and it took them 1 hour and 45 mins to cut me out of the carnage was the longest time if my life because when I opened my eyes I was face to face with my friends face and I'm leaving that there. Yes it's a hard life and yes it's dangerous. But if you make it through a career you get to see some of the most beautiful sunsets, mountains, fields, canyons, God had ever created. THANK YOU!

    What's with the cars at the end by the semi trailers? There was one on it's side. You'd think Copart would at least take one of their forklifts and knock it back onto its wheels.

    Randy by far this is the best information you have given out there especially for us truck drivers I've been doing this for 20 years and believe me I've had my ups and downs going down the highway thank you sir for giving that great advice to all those people that had never had family members as truck drivers or even come across and talk to one and listen to their side of the story my respect to you my man things that you said people don't understand why is it so important to get the heck out of our ways people don't know that when we're driving it's not our decision stay in the lane for a long period of time our trucks are governed our trucks are heavy they don't move like a normal vehicle and people just don't understand thank God I've never had any confrontation with anybody but I've heard stories of truck drivers being shot at for staying in a lane for a long period of time because idiot people don't make up their minds on what they're going to do but I sure appreciate it you taking your time and saying all those wonderful things at the end of this video 🙏💪👍
