Check out EUROasian Bob's first Vinwiki story about the death of salvage yards across America. Please watch and leave a nice comment with his name spelled correctly!
ua-cam.com/video/bcO_NgP17kI/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing my friend!!!
Yeah, but Euro Asian is not how YOU pronounce it. I am pretty sure you change the word, you rascal.
I truly love this channel! Been watching since he Apolo 911! Keep up the good work Mr Hoovie
Yes. The first episode I watched listening to Tyler talk about Bob, I thought he was calling him Urination Bob. When he showed his sign, that fixed it.
Just watched it!!!
Thanks to Hoovie and Ed for all they have done for me!
That was a great video on Vinwiki.
Liked the VinWiki video, I fully agree with you on the part of constantly needing to adapt and never fall for the "too good/big to fail" trap
I think you and Tyler should go in partnership on a venture called “Euro-Nation Bob”… at least that way he’ll get the name right after all these years🤣🤣🤣
engine swap the X5...........
Thank you, Bob for sharing the behind the scenes of secondary car market dealing.
The blue Touran has an Irish registration as you can see from the letters "Irl" on the licence plate. The 04 on the license plate means that it was first registered in 2004 and CE means it was registered in county Claire. The 3040 at the end of the number means it the 3040th vehicle or motorcycle registered in that county in 2004.
Are we sure it doesn't just mean that the car exists in real life?
Where Trump has a hotel 🙄
Clare is a nice place! It's interesting that the car keeps this number regardless of owner, unless exported.
@@boatMatthias i think when you register it you have to change the plates to your hometown
@@boatMatthias In the Netherlands a car also keeps it's plate number it's entire life. Should it get exported and re-imported it gets it's original number back.
I have an 8 pound sledgehammer waiting on that thing.
$3500 and it's yours .... cheaper than therapy.
Ate you talking about the X5 David? We all know your deep and affectionate love for all things BMW?😀
Hello Wizard!
Get it wizard!
Wizzzzzzzzard!!!!!
I have a 2001 x5 3.0 every day driver and I love it. I paid $2999 for it, put brakes and oil change and it runs and looks just like your's. I have a 04 x5 4.4i e53 too that is my project car and I paid $2500 and put a new transmission and doing some body work, but I love the x5 e53 and I'm demented.
the 3.0 pretty solid that v8 is doodie
Tyler doesn't give himself enough credit. This isn't the dumbest automotive channel on youtube..
it's the dumbest automotive channel anywhere.
Where else are there automotive channels?
@@TheBowerbird TV and other streaming services...

Looking at a clean ass jeep, “needs bolt on fender”
“NOPE 🏃♂️”
@@michaelcole7162 yup the rattling sound the crv made was the VTC solenoids and can be fixed for around $200. Takes 20 minutes
I just about died when Bob heard $7,500: “You did what?”
Is it too high price vehicle? Or it's due to the failures it has
@@martinkulik9466 Both factors.
Those gens of X5s loved coolant & chew through timing chain guides… BMW never learned how to build a V8 correctly… the new ones have the “hot vee” with the internal turbos… they love oil and coolant 😂. But they are realllly fun when they aren’t needy (which is always)
@@MiaFins haha no, they learned!!! They are in automotive business!! They test each part under freezing Antarctica, or burning Sahara while putting it through millions of revolutions and stress tests, they would make it to last a century if they wanted!! They make it on purpose to fail! Various hoses, parts on my bmw were literally made to last or be tight for couple of years or 4 until warranty and then to Feed their service and parts division. Little detail last time I wanted to change small pipe, same part made by same factory costed 1.5$ and with bmw sticker 45$!!!! Exactly this difference!! I can supply evidence if you think I exaggerate. Anyhow, it's all made to fail and ppl tolerate it so that's what you get
@@sleepyhollow783 ok but here in Europe second hand cars gained on price for some reason
CRV Startup rattle is due to the VTC actuators failing, which control the variable valve timing. Brother’s Honda did that for like 120k miles though, and nothing serious ever came from it. Still ran when he sold it at like 260,000 miles
This is exactly what it is^
They make some noise until the oil pressure builds, it’s not them failing, all the K20s of that timeframe do it.
I was coming to say the same thing. VTC actuator.
Yeah definitely VTC actuator. My 2012 does the same. Honda bulletin about it
Nahh just dry chain guides🔎🔍
Didn't happen on the 2nd key crank so vtc is fine
This should be a series. Watching you go through the auction cars is super entertaining.
I agree. I used to work at a dealership, and one of my responsibilities was going through the wholesales before they went to auction. It was always such a random grab bag. I never knew what I was going to get. I considered making videos of it, but was afraid I'd get yelled at.
Agreed
Make a deal with the Wizard to have a desk in the corner then get the dealer plates.
Its not like he doesn't always have a supply of cars at the Wizards anyway. The wizard could supply the commercial address and has staff for business hours enquiries.
I was a BMW dealer employee once: This X5 4.6is is one of the best sounding BMW’s. Such a great deep rumble - pure bimmer
My 2000 BMW Z3 6 cylinder has a nice sound to it
I was behind a 645 ci yesterday and it sounded amazing
That was actually a pretty cool episode!!! I think Hoovie should do a couple more like that. It's a very interesting used car market right now!!!!
i agree this was a lot of fun to watch
I remember when the X5 first came out as the E53. BMW hired a bunch of movie directors to make short films using the X5 and other models like the 5 series. They drove the X5 through a river, that was pretty cool. They starred Clive Owen, who played a driver for hire. They were so popular that the driver for hire thing was reworked and turned into the movie The Transporter with Jason Statham playing the driver instead of Clive Owen.
The fact that you call him urination Bob and he still trusts you to spend his money when he's busy, is a good indicator of your car IQ. You do stupid things by choice but are savy with Bob's business. Good friendship you have there.
That's the Correct Kansas pronunciation!
I thought it was Euro Asian Bob
I could have sworn I heard Tyler Urination twice 😁
@@RichRotorhead In the New car wizard video it's titled euro Asian Bob
That Corolla is a gem! And it will probably still be running down the road after the rest of those rigs have been recycled into Kias
@Martin it’s only 2wd. Who wants a 2wd truck?
Yeah that car will outlive euroasian bob AND his kids.
I had a Diesel version of that car. Stick shift. Came from the lower profile wheels than the entry models (advanced spec). Best car I ever owned.
@Martin Yeah and the Corolla is not a "truck". It's a sedan or a saloon, depending on what part of the world you are from 🙂
In my part of the world (South Africa), a "truck" is the same thing as a "lorry", three metric tons and up load capacity.
A light commercial vehicle that has a load bay is called a pickup. In the local vernacular it is a "bakkie", from the Afrikaans for "bak" (load bay) and the suffix "ie" which makes it diminutive: Small load bay. Distinguishes it from a lorry that has a large load bay.
But a Corolla is not a Bakkie. It's a sedan, a passenger vehicle. And I know the world is fond of beating on the Corolla for being boring, but there are some true gems if you dig a little. Back in the day Toyota frequently did that: Put a large engine into a smaller sedan. We used to have a hatchback known as the "conquest" (a continuation of what was originally the starlet in Japan), with the 1.8 liter 4A-GE engine. 85kW in an 800kg shell, back in the 80s. This Corolla is to me an example of that same sort of recipe, with a stick shift too boot.
(Stick shifts are standard where I live, but apparently in America it is rare enough that people consider driving stick a skill 🙂).
The Corolla is definitely the best of the lot. We purchased a new S model in 2010, and gave it to our son for a college car in ‘14. He still drives it every day and loves it. Great little car.
These are fun videos. Do this style again if you get the chance.
That Corolla was a steal. I'd love to find one with a manual in that condition for that price.
Me too!
Especially if gas (heaven forbid) goes to $5.00/gal.
I currently have a same vintage XLE…no major problems whatsoever and I have a bit more than 191k mikes on it
@@BenjaminInLosAngeles Toyota's are awesome vehicles! I currently have two Siennas and the newest one (the one I drive) has 248,000 miles and runs and drives like new!
Bay Area is already at 5.00 a gallon
Tyler, you are the purest form of an ideal capitalist I have ever seen in my entire life. Not only do you see and find incredible chances to turn a buck, but you proactively support every person in that chain to get a chance to succeed and you have a great nose for talented people, hence making your success snowball even bigger and making the entire process perpetual.
Never thought about it like that, but you're absolutely correct. He is.
Welcome to NOT communism...
@@aerykhurley8236 communism is all about using your labor to build up others around you. Which is diametrically opposed to capitalism, which is every greedy individual for themselves, even if Hoovie is the exception.
Well, free-marketeer would be closer.
He is the catalyst for the Wichita YT mafia. There's at least seven successful channels that he promoted or chivied into being. Amazing!
Looks like the Alfa might need some new ignition coils and/or plugs with that flashing engine light at high load/high rpm conditions.
Yup! Was actually taking it to the dealer after moving the X5.
I love how when you rev the Alfa up a bit the check engine light comes on.
It was on it’s way to the dealer for new coils.
@@euroasianbob9268 was it not worth paying for the coils to do it yourself? Or is there programming that's needed for it?
@@alexpetree2038 it is under warranty.
@@euroasianbob9268 fair enough, warranty work is the best kinda work in that case
The noise starting the CRV is a well known issue. The variable timing cog, has a pin so it starts cold in a fixed position until the oil pressure builds up. This pin gets stuck, usually because owners do not change the oil as frequent as they should. At most this problem is solved changing the variable timing cog. It does not harm the car driving it like that but it might stretch the timing change a bit in the long term
My girlfriends Toyata makes the same noise on start up the dealer said the same thing dont worry about it.
Worked at Acura for 10 years. Came here to say exactly that about the CRV. You summed it up perfectly.
I have a 2013 CRV that has the VTC actuator problem. Mine started later than usual because I change the oil every 5k. But it doesn’t really hurt anything
My Dad’s 2008 Accord makes that exact sound on cold startup, came here to say he’s been driving it for years with that sound no issues. 230k miles running strong
We’ve done every oil change, 54k. Still does it.
Lets be honest, Hoovie can afford this and we love his adventures with classic wrecks, keep doing it bro!
he can afford it because his dad was rich
Are you telling me that after all these years I’ve been watching Hoovie, he was actually capable of doing a comprehensive inspection BEFORE actually buying the car?? lol
Hey Hoovie hope you see this in time that cr-v is a vtc actuator . The noise sounds bad but according to Honda techs I talk to its pretty harmless. That thing is definitely sellable

The Car Ninja said he could square it away "for around $3k." If that's the case you'd have an easier time selling it for $7k with everything addressed or maybe you could sell it with the understanding that the Car Ninja will do the fix for the new owner. That timing chain issue would worry me the most along with the blue smoke out the back when you accelerate hard.
CRV’s are hot sellers & it’s hard to find one for a reasonable price with low mileage. Every auction I’ve been to they sell for top dollar in pretty much any running condition.
I had a -03 X5 3.0d. It was the best car I have ever had. No issues. I regret that I sold it.

Yanks don't do diesel German cars which is the crux of the problem. The petrol versions are shite.
@@NaNa-wj8tw That is true. Also that German cars are many times seen as "exotics" in the states, I think?
So the service and parts prices are exotic too.
Many times it's the same in Europe with American cars; there's not too many of them and many shops don't like to touch them.
And no, I'm not an BMW fan. I have had a couple of them, but not a fan in general. I've had American cars too, and many Germans.
Best hoovie video in ages. Down to earth. Time with friends. Much enjoyed. Keep up the good work Tyler.
That European country is Ireland for the VW Touran, Year of registration is 2004 (04), Registered in County Clare (CE). The last four numbers represent how many cars have been sold in that County at that time, looks like 3640
Was waiting to see a comment about this.
@@Offensivebeast You're welcome dude 😊
This was actually a very informative video on what is going on rt now in the car market most people have no clue what covid has done to us with everything in this country what a shame
Here in Europe it’s been like this for the last 7-8 years, customers are completely bonkers. They all want a car for a Hoovie price but nobody wants the hoovie problems, buying a “good market value” 8k car for 4-5k and then complaining that’s not a collectors car in mint condition. I quit the business after 15 years. At first you got 90% normal thinking customers and 10% idiots who does not know how the world works, nowadays it’s the other way around and there just simply isn’t money to be made anymore when you want to sell decent good cars.
That CRV-noise is normal. My grandmother has a 50k mile 2013 CRV and the VVT phasers do that on startup.

@UCy4614yvXfE-NZtkSh7-Fvg not normal but it doesnt really hurt anything. its the VTC solenoid rattling, pretty cheap and easy fix but it gets neglected pretty often
@@bigwasabi7552 if it’s happening at 50k with a car that always got oil changes at 5-7k, it’s normal.
I bought an 2018 X5 in August 2018 and it had been to Mannheim auctions 11 times in 2021 before it sold. Prior to that it sat with a wholesale dealer in PA for 3-4 months, before they sent it to auction (foir the first time). It had a clean CarFAX, and no rust or damage. ...... When I got hold of it, it was 100% fully functional - _everything_ works, and other than 1 tiny stone chip on the hood and some minor rubs on the front bumper, it is totally clean. I took it to a local non-franchise BMW specialist, and they confirmed that it is 100% fully operational, no issues, no concerns.
Six months later it is _still_ 100%, no issues, and just about to get it's first service, at the non-franchise BMW specialist.
Why did nobody want it? Dunno, beats me. The only think I can think is that it's the more thirsty V8 version, but that is what I was looking for, and it drives _very_ nicely!
They get a bad rap for very expensive repairs so people are a bit gunshy to try.
@@aussie2uGA I understand .... which is why I paid $2,000 for an add-on, 5-year, 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. It is the first time I have ever paid for an additional warranty of _any_ sort for _anything, but fugured that in this case, and at that price, it would pay for itself with a couple of minor issues, or one moderate one, and in the event of one major issue the warranty would prove to have been the bargain of the century!
7:20 Standard "Dog lover's" car: Not even smokers destroy a car interior as badly as people who keep their dogs in the cabin.
So true. You're literally devaluing your vehicle every single time you transport a canine in it. Ever detail a car interior that carried one for a few years? They're never the same- buyers can always tell.
Guess I was just really meticulous with my car or the interior just held up better. I had a dog for 14 years and he lived through two cars and neither one looked anything like that. I put a towel down in the seat he sat in so that probably helped a lot. Plus I vacuumed it twice a month usually.
Hoovie, when you’re looking at Dodge Neons of that generation, “only” and “106k miles” should not go in the same sentence together.
The xrs doesn’t have a Camry , or scion engine . They made them for 1 year only , it has the 2zzgte engine , it’s a 1.8 liter vvtli engine . It’s the only engine Toyota made that has cam lift , it kicks in at 6000 rpm’s . It’s the same engine that’s in the Lotus Elise . Only the Elise adds a supercharger .
That’s the first generation XRS, the one in the video is the second generation which has the Camry/tC motor
Interesting fact on the Honda four-cylinder from that year. There was a class action lawsuit against Honda for failed VCT actuator. Honda out of kindness offered to rebuild the problem motors at no cost. I know this because Honda rebuilt my motor in my 2008 Honda Accord four-cylinder, that I bought used from a vw dealership. Honda gets a huge thank you from me. my car also had 100,000 miles on it when they offered to rebuild it only thing I had to pay for was a new timing chain because I stretched it from low oil
Out of kindness...lol. No car manufacturer does anything out of kindness. Either they fix the problem or they have a PR nightmare on their hands, simple as that.
Glad they did though, that's awesome.
Stretched timing chain from low oil? Don't you think the other failure by any chance had something to do with driving around with too little oil in the engine too? LOL.
The X-5 sounds like a Ninja special. He can probably fix it for cheap and use it to pick up parts.

What a find on the Corolla! I owned a 09 XRS 5 speed too except mine was silver wth less mileage. I sold it for around $5-6K ish before the pandemic (Should've waited) but it was to a friend of a friend which means I probably could buy it back in the future if I wanted to. Yup those front skirt get scraped up easily but luckily there's tons of Corollas out there with them so glad Bob was able to find them cheap.
Yep that was a steal!
Hoovie the first Honda that you heard the rattle on the cold start was the VTEC actuator . it probably needs oil or possibly a new actuator installed

When you went into that Jeep Grand Cherokee and almost threw up. It remained me of your first video of you going to a dealer auction, and finding a trashed Dodge Caliber with the same stains on the seats.
As the rarity and cost of cars go up, the value of collecting cars and stripping them for their still useful parts will go up as well.
I love that boxy style of the element, much like the soul , the scion and the 500L, problem is they were out of my budget when they did make them, and now they are out of my range used

21:19 No its not a Camry motor, I think the XRS model got the 1.8L 2ZZ-GE engine from the Celica… Rare !
I had an X5 4.6 IS, it was an Absolutely Superb...piece of hot garbage. Excellent to drive, horribly unreliable. It just sat there in the driveway, plotting and waiting for the most inconvenient time known to man to break down.
That's why they're called the Ultimate Driveway Machine! They sit broken in your driveway increasing the value of your home.
Both of the Chevy trucks (Colorado, and Silverado) were the best vehicles you looked at by far (even with their flaws), Hoovie, and worth every bit of the sale price paid.
It's so fascinating for me that USA market see's BMW's as a horrible repair issue while Eastern Europeans drive them a lot and is quite cheap to repair (as much as I know.)
They actually get maintained in Europe

16:55 that little pull tripped the check engine light lmao
I’d probably buy it. I love the E53.
Hoosier after 25 years of being an independent used car buyer you should always check the oil before you ever turn the key. It tells a great story.
BMW's don't have any dipsticks or methods to see the actual oil other than try to look down through the cap.
The Honda's noise is probably valve clatter. Valves on Hondas need to be adjusted still to this day doesn't mean it's a bad engine
Great to see Hoovie in real everyday Hoopties…had Auto Auction Rebuild vibes
Love this vlog this so cool to see the auction cars u have to do this more often
Ya know, as great as Toyota’s cars are, the wheel issue has been a thing with them for like 20+ years. Like the Chevy cab rot, they just can’t seem to figure that one issue out lol.
What are you talking about with the Chevy cab rot, that is just the way they are supposed to look. Think of it like a beauty mark.

My daily is 2012 BMW X5M ....it's wildly fast, has mad grip in the twisties and looks every bit the 73k new car it once was. Lots of cache in a properly maintained X5...but...if you come across a mistreated or under maintained example...run...don't walk away! Financial time bomb!
That Stick XRS is a gem. It's got the 2ZZ motor I believe, unless the newer ones are different.
Edit: Checked, no 2ZZ, but still a 2.4L with good power and torque.
I would say the Touran with the sticker is from Ireland. The blue corner of the plate has the country designation in it. IRL.
All BMWs I've owned had electrical issues. I will say, the 2003 X5 we had was built like a tank. Rode so nice.

Shout out to Bob for making the Great White Hype reference. That movie is sadly underrated.
My 2005 Corrolla had 225,000 and I LOVED it. Then a guy took out the left side door and the insurance totalled it for 2800 and I had to let it go...I cried. But I "lucked" into a 2014 Corolla for 2800 an hoping for at least another 125,000. I was unaware that the value of these cars had jumped I probably would have kept my 2005. Hope someone picked it up and replaced the door...the car was still running fine.
How in the hell did you get a 2014 for 2800? That car is easily 10-15 grand here in Australia.

He wouldn’t be able to get any video content with a 3.0.
This reminds me of watching home flipping shows right around the time the housing bubble popped, when the only houses left to buy were the ones that had been lived in by hoarders with 57 cats.

In GA you pay a lump sum on the “market value”, I put that in quotes because nobody knows where they arrive on said value. Every vehicle I’ve registered here has had an absurdly inaccurate market value that I’ve had the misfortune of paying taxes on rather than the true purchase price.
It's more common in Republican states because they have lower average income and need the tax money more. When I lived in NY I didn't pay it and now in NC I do.

Reminds me of when I got in the back of an acquaintance's car with the bloke's dog. I nearly chundered, but fortunately I could wind down the window an stick my head out (like a dog*). So watching Hoovie in the barf-mobile "shed": fun? Hell yes! * see Superfast Matt driving his Ejag without mirrors.
I love the fact that old BMWs that require lots of maintenance are still such a shitshow that even in today's market you can't sell them. I mean that's really saying something.
Meanwhile, look at e39 M5's market value...
well there's a difference between old, well maintained BMWs and old POS kicked around in the dirt, 15k mile oil changes BMWs
You base that off one anecdotal video?
Lol
@@papa_pt While you are absolutely correct about that, you can get an old kicked around never maintained toyota or honda and get it fixed up nice for little cost and effort. But that's not what BMWs are made for, they are made to be an amazing vehicle for at least around 100k miles as a luxurious sporty experience. If you want a car that can go high miles and last forever and are cheap to maintain that's what toyotas and hondas are for. They each do what they were designed to do well, if you can afford a nice vehicle like that, chances are you aren't trying to squeeze 300k out of it with minimal costs along the way. That's where people make the mistake of buying old high mile ones that need some work just because they love the car so much, but they really can't afford to maintain and fix it. Unless they are lucky and get one well maintained that never has any serious issues for many years even with high miles, which does happen, it's happened to me, then they end up with a nightmare that slowly eats their money and can never stay fully maintained that maybe the average person wouldn't realize if all they knew was BMWs are cool and fast and hey look I can afford that high mile one for only 5k, I guess I can afford one! They don't understand what car guys know, that just because you can buy an old bmw doesn't mean you can afford one.
And I know my original comment was a little harsh but to be perfectly honest I saw the opportunity to leave a comment early after the video was posted and knew that if it was engaging enough that I might get some reactions because I know it is a sensitive subject and painting all old bmws as money traps is over generalizing because there are many excellent old reliable bmws out there. When I said old what I really meant was not classics, but "modern" old cars like ones that have recently been hitting end of life from miles and years, so ones from the last 10 or 15 years that have a lot of miles and need maintenance. Because everybody knows how FUN it is to work on modern BMWs c: just ask the Wizard he will let you know what a rewarding experience it is to service them xD
I owned a 2009 Corolla XRS and it was a good car. Not super quick but was super reliable. Had 200k miles on it when I got rid of it and had never had one mechanical problem with it.
Those Honda Elements are selling for CRAZY money right now, even with a crapload of miles.
Really? Elements near me go for $800 to $1500 when they need an engine or transmission. I gotta think about this.....🤔
@@joeblack007 Anything in decent shape with under 150k miles is like $6k-up. Under 100k miles is $10k-up.
@@MiataChannel In which state? I am about to retire early. 😅😅
@Joe Black Those are the cheapest prices I see nationwide. If you live in the rust belt probably a lot cheaper. Where I live those prices are low.
@@MiataChannel There is a 2003 near me now for $1500 with 150K miles. The two front doors and the hatch is dented. Needs a good detail but runs and drive. I am in NJ. What is this car worth fixed in your state?
timing chain rattle is an easy fix hoovie!
Man, I'm looking at what that X5 needs and it'd about have to be free to be able to sort it out without exceeding its worth, even if it goes to a shadetree mechanic that can do most of it. The E39 I got back from the brink had fewer obvious things wrong than that X5 and I'll be lucky if I break even on that! I really hope the X5 can be put back together, it's a bit rare, but I bet it'll still be a tough sell.
Hoovie, buy an Alfa, they are good driving machines. You couldn't buy the ones I was driving a while ago, the Alfa 156 and 145 cloverleaf, great little cars abd cheap over here in England. The Guilia 2 litre 4 cylinder has nearly 300hp and is ahoot to drive.
If I've learned anything from watching Hoovies Garage, it's not to buy a used BMW.
No, just don’t buy a bmw that wasn’t maintained. Those are the only ones he gets because he looks for cheap ones. Buy a bmw that was taken care of and the mileage is irrelevant.
I learned that a long time ago by buying a used BMW.
@@johnnychimpo7539 Yep, if any owner does proactive fluid flushes, BMW's can last a long time.
@@aussie2uGA there’s a few that were very unreliable but after 2006, the base models became extremely reliable. The reason they had some unreliable cars is because they are constantly innovating and figuring things out. Toyota are reliable because they don’t innovate mechanically. BMW has stopped innovating so much with internal combustion engine so they became more reliable.
He buys the absolute worst examples available to him. It's the whole point of the channel.
Buy hoopties, repair them, sell them.
Buy any car used car that wasn't maintained well enough and you'll be sorry. Yes, even Toyotas.
I have the trim piece for that Element. If you buy an Element, make sure to buy an Aerogenics catalytic converter guard. The Elements are targets for cat thieves.
$1000 over MMR in a sealed bid auction? Oh how times have changed.
I will always defend the Neon. Wife had one 20 years ago and I enjoyed driving it. It was actually fun. Nice Alfa Bob. I have one and I love it. You are now a petrolhead!
This video reminds us that there's always new technology out there that we are always going to spend our money on, I wonder how many people are financially capable to keep up with the waves of new technology coming up
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks.
Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy. People who are optimistic investors earn consistently.... Others will just sit and watch!.

I'm loving the praise for the Element. Ours just clicked over 200K, and other then Hondas of this vintage having an appetite for brake pads, it has been extremely reliable. The wife loves it and doesn't want to get rid of it 12 years later, so that's a bonus for me.
@Edward - Get the Akebono ASP914A and the Akebono ASP536A (the sport pads) from Tire Rack. Seems to solve the brake wear issue.
It’s crazy how inflated the used car market is.

Tyler the face you made in the grand Cherokee has to be the absolute funniest I have ever seen you make. I know exactly how that vehicle smelled.
Bob with the perfect roast at the start there
The CRV is probably safe. It’s the dreaded VCT rattle. It can do that forever and not Hurt the engine.
i have an imola red 4.6is and it is a beautiful car. i've caught people taking photos of it in parking lots after i washed and waxed it. it's definitely worth fixing up if you are into that
Those xrs stick corollas are so FUN.
Can’t believe they stopped making them.
Super reliable as well.
Long term fan here - LOVED this video! Different and fun and your perspective was cool. Do more!
16:55 Ah, the light of doom as Hoovie floors it. All that is missing is Jake's scream.
0:24 Hoovie always likes to do some kind of sporadic attention getting motion when he walks into his videos. It's funny that now it's just the arms doing it after he hurt himself jumping into frame that one time xD now he just plays it safe with the arms
Im fixing up an X5 at the moment here is Australia. It's a great car now. I bought it with a few problems for 2000aud and have spent around 1000aud on repairs and have a nice driving example now. It usually always comes back to maintenance
