This is why I love this channel “The Ben’s” are just legit and transparent. Average guys with an idea and they have fun. So happy Ben is back since that Covid scare glad to see you are doing well and looking forward to the future of the channel.
100%. that's one of my big gripes about mighty car mods. we see the car, they mod it, and it just dissapears. feels good to feel like we're on this journey with ben and ben.
@@chrizyzz1008 Yeah, I totally agree with you. That's why i enjoy their channel - they are real, practical, and explain to you exactly why they do the modification to cars, that they choose to do!
@@chrizyzz1008 what? MCM brings back cars all the time. You could make an entire UA-cam channel off of just supergramps
True, that why i love this channel. It's not about the carzy build or the race cars it's about the passion behind building those cars and the love of automotive in general.
This was my leasst favorite gears and gasoline video...!!!! i mean this one seemed so just random and pointless
I love UA-camrs being transparent about the reality and how hard it is to have a car collection, makes everyone who has the dream but can’t afford it feel so much better 😂😩
Unless he has a gigantic team to pay out, the guy has over 1M subs…money isn’t the issue…need for space might be but money isn’t…that’s just a boat load of crap…
@@Bennoit007 He probably makes 50-60k a year from youtube. He might make more from other stuff, but it's easy to spend over 6 figures on a house, retirement and 3-4 cars
@@skoparweaver7692 don’t kid yourself…1M subs on a car channel yields at least between 30/50k a month…tons of “real transparent” UA-camr have shown how much they make with x amount of subs and that’s without sponsorships/merch etc…come on now 😂😂
@@Bennoit007 it's not about subs tho, it's about number of videos a week, the views on each video, and the average watchtime of the video. You could have 10m subs but if you only post once a week and that video only gets 100k views with an average watchtime of 2 mins, you ain't getting paid shit.
@@ZenthisGaming yes but nonetheless this isn’t the case right now 🤷♂️ guy got millions of views, puts out 2 vids a week etc…he’s lying if he says he makes 60k a year doing what he does….
The transparency is refreshing. This channel is way more relatable than other channels where they just buy whatever they want whenever they want. It makes it very enjoyable to watch
Agreed 🫡
It was tough for me to even get a 2014 Mazda6 GT, and I am overpaying for it due to bad credit, $560 monthly payments it's just horrific. I want a Honda Civic Type-R or a Mazda RX-8, or Nissan GTR but I can never afford them.
1:27 struggling to not crack a smile after a little pull with turbo flutter is easily the best part of the whole video.
EXACTLY. HOW COULD YOU SELL THAT?????
I KNOW RIGHT!
The fact G&G have only a handfull of cars makes me feel more connected to it. The way you care about your cars, the details you show us and the info you share makes me feel part of the group. If one day G&G can afford expansive supercars, I would feel happy for them, but in some way, the channel would lose the "crew feeling" i got from it
Taking money out of your retirement account to buy a car is not the move! Glad to see that he's going to put it back.
Hopefully (and it seems like) he took out a loan from it instead of cashing out some out. Nothing like throwing half your money away.
@@clutchthepearls3062 No loan, he paid cash. There wasn't one reported on the CarFax.
@@Blox282 I wasn't talking about an auto loan. I was talking about taking a loan from his retirement account instead of cashing some out.
Scrolled down to find the Captain Obvious comment and you didn't disappoint.
It felt like you bought that car yesterday. Time flies so fast and I feel like you could've kept it a bit longer knowing that you spent a lot of time and money on that car to restore it. I hope the new owner loves the car the way you do.
I don’t think he ever bought the car to keep. Most UA-camrs buy cars knowing they will not stay. Just use as a prop for their content then when they are no longer useful off they go.
Same tells like it’s been a month at most but it kinda makes sense he did everything he could with it
@@therealpofo he didn’t buy it to keep we’re just sad because G&G are a every personal channel so we kinda feel them
@@therealpofo Ultimately, he had no real intentions of keeping the car long term. During either the video when he bought it, or one of the first restoration videos. He said he was most likely gonna sell it, hopefully giving it back to the owner who had it before him. Or someone within the G&G family so it stays in the picture.
Totally agree, but it’s Ben. Another notch on the belt lol
Buy car, make a few vids, sell car.
That's the vibe I'm getting from this channel lately.
"Doing More Road Trips"
You may have heard a HELL YES all the way from Virginia Beach at that point in the video. That was both me and my girlfriend screaming that. Hopefully we may see G&G when we go to Skyline Drive and the surrounding for our yearly mountain run.
ChesVa cosigns "Doing More Road Trips".
Skyline Drive is hella fun, I try to run it a few times a month during the summer. I have seen them on several occasions just in passing around here, so its definitely possible.
It is not at all surprising that you decided to sell it. And at exactly the time I thought you would as well. It stood out among your other cars, and I never expected you to keep it over the Subie.
That being said, I think it was still a worthwhile endeavour. You have given this car a new vitality, freshened it up so it can continue its life and bring a lot of joy to its next owner. I think that is beautiful, and I am sure the car is immensely happy about it as well.
this always felt like more of a content car. there's no hiding true enthusiasm. we can see it when you're working on the cars you're more into, you're a pretty transparent guy (both in what you say and how you portray yourself). glad to see it go, rather see you be more passionate about the things you are working on and filming, the content is better that way.
The way most of the big youtubers afford cars, is investnment and loans. Its easier to finance a car, then sell it and recoup some/most of the cash. Notice the cars they buy, are cars that rarely lose value. If you have 100 grand and you have a big enough youtube brand, you could probably pull off a loan and pay less to finance it than outright buying an evo. Once they sell it after a year or two, they recoup most of that value. In other words, they don't actually SPEND more money, they simply take out more loans and have someone to help them manage them. And by investment, I mean shady ad deals with watch makers than rebrand alibaba watches and such.
Its all about leverage. If you are a cash only guy, at least you are more genuine, which is why I like this channel. Its so much more realistic.
The opening was filmed like an indie movie when they were at their best. 💙
That opening sequence was so well planned out. It must have taken a while to shoot.
The next owner of this can be a instant youtuber just upload this car and we will watch it for sure we love what he done to the car
I appreciate the openness! I love this channel
This is probably most genuine UA-cam Channel I have seen, love the content and honesty. I hope it stays forever this way.
It was nice to see the evo come back, brung back a lot of nostalgia and now that you guys freshened it up. I hope whoever the new owner is takes care of it🔥
Bro This is probably one of the best car channels out and I know the feeling.. thank you for the way you put it into words.
Yeah, more roadtrips coming soon, I really love your guys roadtrips! They're the best to watch!
Appreciate you guys for showing a small clip of our interviews we do on our channel 🎉
Happy to see Ben bounce back from covid and share their stories / videos with us! Your guys videos are so different than most other car UA-cam channels, feels like I’m watching a high quality production that’s unique everytime! Thank you guys!
I appreciate the transparency. Thanks for what you guys do and for keeping it real
cannot wait for the next series with charles! always a hoot! good luck with the sale! im sure someone will snatch it up.
Been a rough couple months personally & following this build defo brought me some peaceful entertainment. Glad your making the best choice for you dawg, to the future. Thanks man🥂
1:30 I love how cars give us these wonderful emotions... keep it up guys with these content! You are the best!
Being honest about finances and available time is a rare thing.
Good on you for bringing this to light for others who don’t understand the the ‘real costs’ of car/hobbies.
I love the transparency in this channel.
It shows what it actually is like owning more than 1-2 cars. It makes me feel so much more connected to the channel.
I've never managed to understand other youtubers with 8-11-20 cars. Like, I can't remember them for 1 day, and usually they sell it the next day and buy another supercar or something.
Please tell me I'm not the only one on that :D
Thanks for the feedback. You ve been selected among the shortlisted winners of our giveaway. Contact the number above for more information. Goodluck.
Hard work pays off 👊🏾 GG makes my day, thanks Ben(s) 🙏🏽 Keep on keeping on 🔥🔥🔥
Your rodtrips rock, i saw all of them :D ! Can't wait for the next one !
I mean the car is fast and all, but with it looking that good I’d be worried to drive it.
Cars are meant to be driven.
Cars are meant to be driven.
Cars are meant to be ridden
Cars are meant to be Idol
Driven are meant to be cars
You guys are amazing 👏 can't wait to see everything coming in the future! I knew you weren't going to keep the evo being a subie guy, I'm trying to collect as many subarus as I can to keep the rally history going because it's fading and I know what you mean with too many projects, so just do what you can and everything will work out
Just found this UA-cam channel a week ago. Wow all the great videos I have missed. So great to see a UA-camr being honest and open about the realities. Relatable. Often times people have several cars at once and at least one is in the stable just because they love it. It males no practical sense. I'm one of those people. I own 4 vehicles and 2 motorcycles..... and I'm the only driver. All insured, registered and fully operational and roadworthy. Yes, it makes no sense to many, but I can afford it. If I couldn't, I'd have a lot less.
It seems as your chanel is heading back into the right direction.
Love it!
I loved this series I am not an EVO guy but I have mad respect for you and focussing on the other builds. There are way to many youtubers just buying more cars and having forgotten builds.
i said before and im saying it again, please be a YT channel that inspires us the car enthusiasts with average wallet size. We don’t have deep pockets like most of the UA-camrs And thanks for admitting how its like to be a owner of multiple project cars. Hope you get the best price that it deserves. Eager for those upcoming road trip videos ❤
Planning a new road trip? 👀 I'm super excited to see that when it happens, I love the road trip videos and have watched each of them more times than I can count
I just want more Civic goodness! Love all these cars, but man.. that little nugget is mean! :D And love the racing, and how successful you have been doing it! Super cool! Keep it up!
Love the closing piece of this video
Love your channel and your delivery and story telling styles which instantly draws in the audience into the content. Appreciate the fact that you concentrate on the content and not on the merch or side hustles. Keep it up, it will all pay off!!
I like that you frame the cart stall sign that says “don’t forget your reusable bags” - and immediate forget your reusable bags lol. Your daily driver should have some in it, right? :-)
good luck on the sale Ben!
dude the part where you’re riding the cart that is so wholesome 🫠
Had to sell mine a couple weeks ago too and it broke my heart. They're great cars but very high maintenance... Thanks for the great content and good luck with the sale!
You do you! Best youtube channel out here.
I saw it on Cars and Bids this morning, it was a great series!
good luck with the bid !!!
I absolutely love how honest and real you are. Still the best UA-camrs -Ethan from Richmond
I'm pretty satisfied with all the red evo videos! Pretty perfect timing on letting it go as well. Would love to see roadtrips and gridlife action too soon.
Just know this my man..no matter what..your living a dream of a lot of people out there and ur having fun doing it..congrats
Hello, Dear Subscriber! Quickly TEXT the above number to acknowledge your awards, Because I've a great package📦 for you Cheers.....
I have said it before and I will say it again. The track footage from the camera on the front bumper of the Civic is so awesome! More more more!
I love how you can relate to the average person who is not loaded with money and deals with money issues all the time.
Saw this on Cars and Bids yesterday and said... uh oh vid incoming. Good work with build, Ben. Been here the whole way. Good luck with sale! -2016 STI GUY
I just hope whoever the next owner is, maintains the good work Ben has done to this!
Its good to see you around town man! My dad did some work on your new garage! Small world huh? Its crazy seeing all the shots in the video and knowing all the places here in town. Even down to the food lion. Good luck with the car!
Reminds me of a bit of one of Bad Obsession Motorsports' videos on their 4WD MINI Cooper that they've been working on for years: in one of the videos where they're working on adding extra bits for running the turbo, their blowoff valve setup has components that I personally built. I had no idea they were even doing it, either!
When you opened the trunk for the groceries and I knew it wasn't going to hit the rear glass, but it still made my heart skip a beat.
Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊!
You almost motivated me to get one. Glad I didn't.
I wonder what that secret protect is?
Great video, glad you got to reconnect with that car, as car people I think we all want every sports car ever made to experience, I’m just grinding to make my bank balance big enough to accomplish that
Love how you guys always keep it real! Normal people can [somewhat] relate!
@GearsandGasoline-. thanks for responding !
I feel like the trips to the gas stations have become a thing on this channel. Idk if I'm late to the party but I find it pretty amusing lol. Good luck on the bid!!
Sad to see her leave but I love to watch her go
I hope whoever gets your Evo takes as good care as you did beautiful looking car
You mentioned the protege 5!! I wish mine was as clean as the one on the video but I’m getting there !
And that's how ben was able to afford a gc8 to build his dream 22b
It would be nice to see a road trip with the Evo X and other Ben's Evo
Dustin hit us with the side hustle 😆
Basically scalp
@@mengx94 not really considered scalping. It’s just reselling
His Legends drop/merch is his big bucks🤣
please another roadtrip,, i miss that content
Every time I was on my way home in my STI and saw this sitting in your drive, I thought it beautiful and had wished I could afford it. But just like you, I'm all about Subaru's.. Hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it and drive it like it deserves.
The opening of the video was soooo good
Damn I love the content on this channel I wish you could’ve planned just one road trip with the evo it will surely be missed ❤
They did a short road trip to Minnesota
@@sooyster4033 yeah I meant like Alaska one featuring both ben evos
Keeping a car only because you like it… literally the basis of a first no budget car video I wanted to do on my FTO… but I’ll stick to watching these awesome series
Do road trips videos! Love them haha
your roadtrips are the reason I am buying a WRX and looking forward to start a channel dedicated to roadtrips
Soon as you guys did the state of garage review video, I knew this was coming. Doesnt make it hurt any less… wish I was in a position to take advantage of this sale though
I saw it on cars and bids yesterday, before I saw this video, I was like “what!?! That’s ben’s car!” Good luck with the sale, I wish I was bidding.
Good little project!
That Civic front bumper stabilised camera. 😍
Reminds me of "C'était un rendez-vous", although is a completely different thing.
Dustin holds up Gamera, Calls it a Godzilla toy, might as well call the Lugia a Digimon card while he was at it lmao
I’m saying this because I notice it everytime but your video quality is so much better then 99% of channels in my opinion
So now we know the answer to "STI or EVO?".
Good call and there is a sense of accomplishment even by me by just watching, how you rebuilt it to your spec and knowing it will be enjoyed by someone else. Hope you get top dollar for it! Btw anything about the MR2? I feel like it's going to be a buzzin cricket.
awesome editing
Was expecting this video any day now
When you get to the @2:46 timestamp, and wake up everybody in the house cackling with laughter. Well played Ben. Well played.
Happy 1Million subs
Proud owner of a Australian spec Mazda protege. Appreciating the shout out
I remember when you bought the car, been part of the journey all through,
YESSSS MORE ROAD-TRIPS!!
We all knew the day was coming when the Evo would go. But I'm really looking forward to more content on the other cars we love! The Civic, RX7 and STi!
Fantastic intro...
Glad you are going back to the RX7 I think that is one of my favorite cars between you two
Great explanation
This is my dream car, basically any evo. Have a collection of 1:64 diecast models. I don't have enough resources to buy a 1:1 right now, but someday I'll get to own one.
The Uncle Bens rice was a nice touch! Stick with the Subie!
It's always a good feeling to clean out the garage.
Makes me sad. Been really loving your evo 10 videos. Hopefully you continue to make these style of videos with other cars, the sti would be awesome
It's a beautiful car but definitely a smart move to lean out the collection and focus on the next chapter, I do miss my Evo X but glad to have experienced that chapter in my life.
Whoa. I saw the title while I'm working my job at advanced and clicked immediately. Love you guys🥹
That car is only going to keep going up in value.
You gotta side-hustle them Girl Scout cookies in the off-season.
