Between the seats wasn't a navigator port, it's a Cd player. This car has 160 hp [probably 180 modified] compared to the previous iterations that made about 90. it is way more fun to drive than most MX5's. The 'Skyactive' allows for higher compression ratios and more HP. And 100 thousand miles on a Mazda 2.0? Barely even broken in......they go regularly 300 thou plus!. You have to at least drive one of the 'New' ones. you'll be amazed.
Randy, hope you doing good. We have been praying for u none stop. Let me say Randy that Corvette got my vote 100%. That car is amazing, for that price is insane.👍
I had a 2003 Mazda MX5. It was also a special limited edition in cerion silver with a lovely blue ragtop. Manually operated and a full convertible. Only 100 were imported into Australia. I sold it 2.5 years later with only about 25,000 kilometres on the clock and bought a 2005 Subaru Outback. Yeah, I know WHAT WAS I THINKING! I still miss it 21 years later. 😀
Hey randy im 19 and my girlfriend just gave birth to my first son and im in the hospital watching your vids man while she relaxing i hope you feel better soon man.
Bro! I’m on my 2nd 10th Anniversary Edition Miata First one was #0695 and now have #1850. Just drove it from Boise to Walla Walla yesterday. Zoom Zoom! I hope you’re healing up well!!!
A good friend had an older version from the Chevi Trax as a diesel 1.7l and manual but the rust ate the hole car away😢 get well soon randy 🎉 greetings from Germany
Dang Bro... You got the get well wishes by the boat load ... That's awesome ... Says A LOT !!! So my turn... Get well soon Bro and don't push too much... I had the same surgery.. it takes some getting used to even after healing.... Without your body producing bile... Just watch what you eat !
Hey Randy, glad to see you’re feeling better! Skyactiv is just Mazda’s brand of fuel efficient technology. It includes features like direct injection and cylinder deactivation, though some features are dependent on which variant of the engine you get. I have a 2.5L Mazda3 and she gets really good gas mileage for how sporty and fast she is. Also, I see a lot of hail damage on your channel - I’m from up north where we don’t get hail like that. Other than cosmetic damage, does hail pose other issues to cars? Like functional or mechanical issues? Just curious.
Skyactiv is a brand name for a series of automobile technologies developed by Mazda that increase fuel efficiency and engine output. The initial announcement of the Skyactiv technologies included new engines, transmissions, body, and chassis, which appeared in Mazda products from 2011 onwards
Hey randy sory to hear you not been wel man and been at hospital, wel i realy do hope your getting better bro take care randy and take your time man looking forward seeing you back doing your rounds at these auctiond its my favourite copart channel man hope you get better sooner randy take it easy buddy! 💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🏴🏴
I would not doubt that hr-v had the security system on, my Malibu had the same problem but I needed my other vehicle to boost it to fully start it. It turned over but didn’t start before that.
Hey Randy a couple of things. On that Miata if you just replace the hood and maybe the trunk lid with one the same color you would have a lot less PDR work. Also on that Chevy Trax I have a Chevy Cruze that did the same thing it wouldn't start. I also lost the power steering. I disconnected the battery for about an hour and reconnected it and it started right up and power steering was back.. Had to have been some kind of glitch in the computer. After it was reset it was fine.
Only thing to note about that corvette is that it is a very base model, so that decreases its value a bit. The 2lt and 3lt have heated and ventilated carbon bucket seats.
Just a good guess on the Chevy traxx, I've seen that exact issue when security chip in key would get deprogrammed and or lose programming and it would prevent starting just like the honda you tried.
Definitely under Corvette. If you can get it for what you think but make this one a quick turnaround. I would send it through an auction house when you are done fixing it and cleaning it up
Heya Randy, that Miata looks like a really fun little car to bring to the channel. Also that Corvette Stingray is apparently owned by another youtube channel called CrashedToys
I just watched one of your videos and you’re absolutely right new cars suck too much technology for guys like you and me and a toolbox to fix things, I’m so happy you’re OK my brother when I saw that video yesterday I was praying it wasn’t a heart attack or something that would stay with you, I keep telling my wife whenever she watches me looking at your video that you’re one of the most honest guys you tell people how much you paid for a car where you got it the amount of money you put into it I would buy a car from you for sure. In a matter of fact, you should give me your email. I’m in the market of buying a second car please do. Thanks.
Skyactiv makes a gas engine combust like a diesel. At first it uses the spark plugs like any other gas engine, but when it warms up, it's able to rely just on compression to combust
My mom got the same car and we had to change the engine but the warranty covered it and we bought it brand new from the dealer my mom was the one owner but it’s still good and driving
Hey Randy, just wanted to let you know that I saw your car parked walk around video with the Corvette today I hope you win the correct cause I would like to see it on your channel and by the way, how are you feeling cause I saw your last video that you had a gallbladder surgery because basically you had a major problem with your gallbladder. I was curious how you’re feeling I hope you’re doing well and I can’t wait to see your next video on whatever you have planned, but either way before you start making videos, I would them take it easy. Cover before you really get back to working because I do care about you and your family and you recovering is more important right now than videos so but anyhow, I just can’t wait to see whatever you have planned next for your next video. I’ll be looking out for it whenever you get to feeling better. Talk to you later man have a good day. Tell Nick and Jessica I said hi Sia.
Not sure if someone else mentioned it, but the Mazda Miata is supposed to sound like that at cold start up. We have a CX9 and it’s just the cold start and after 15-20 seconds it goes away.
Hyundai's and KIA's had some serious motor issues....car wizard chanel said you can't get motors rebuilt and dealers have lots of new replacement motors in stock ready to sell.
The reason that Miata sounded so bad when it started is because they actually retard the ignition timing on those engines for like 10-20 seconds on a cold start to warm up the catalytic converter faster for emissions. It's part of that 'Skyactiv' technology that's supposed to get you better efficiency, sportiness, and reduced emissions. My 2016 mazda3 does the same thing
That Miata, with the mileage and the header/exhaust mods is probably a $14k-$15k car retail without the hail damage. Not knowing the condition of the brakes and clutch, and keeping in mind it was likely drove hard and put away wet, you would probably be at least $5k into PDR and repairs. So if you can get it for under $8k it might be worth the gamble? Oh and as said that is an RF model with the retractable hard top. There is another model that is the traditional soft top.
Hopefully you are feeling better randy
Hope your slowly healing. Remember don’t push yourself. Wow that’s insane price for the vette.
Good morning Randy hope you're feeling even better today and just love the fact that you still have videos coming out which always make my morning
Honda was road hard & put away trashed lol. Thanks for the walk around 🎬🚘💯🤘. Hope your feeling better today dude 🫡
Welcome back and get well soon

SkyActive is Mazda's version of a GDI engine. 😊
HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER RANDY IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU OUT AND ABOUT PLEASE LOOK AFTER YOURSELF 👍
Goonzquad did a great job restoring one
Hey Randy hope you’re feeling better!
Randy, hope you doing good. We have been praying for u none stop. Let me say Randy that Corvette got my vote 100%. That car is amazing, for that price is insane.👍
I like that Miata.
It could be a cool car for the channel.
Skyactiv is Mazda's direct injected engines. There are different prefixes and suffixes that mean other things, but regular Skyactiv means DI.
OH man you back in action glad you feel better man I enjoy your car videos.
Hopefully you're feeling better! 28:49 Have to correct you, the Stingray is still a push rod V8, its the Z06 that's the flat plane crank.
Hope you are feeling better. Thank you for all your work I so enjoy
Been praying for you Hope you're getting better May the best come your way Randy
Great video Randy ❤❤❤
Hope you’re getting better Randy. We love the grind and hard work. Keep it up Randy

Hey Randy, can you please take a look at some rental cars and Minivans next time you are at the auction? Thank you, keep up the good work!

This Miata doesn't look that bad at all. I would definitely get one of those. I miss my Mazda 3. I Thank this model is either 2016 to current design.

Healthy living from now on Randy 👍health is wealth dude 😊
Hey randy sory to hear you not been wel man and been at hospital, wel i realy do hope your getting better bro take care randy and take your time man looking forward seeing you back doing your rounds at these auctiond its my favourite copart channel man hope you get better sooner randy take it easy buddy! 💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🏴🏴
When they redesign in 2016, it's a target top. The 2015 and earlier generation is a convertabile.
indiana copart looks nice there. Chrysler aspen looking great. those cadillac escalades are nice. it's copart 1000$ for c8 corvette.
Wow Randy.. at 35k that Vet I think is a steal.. I hope to see you buy it if you’re feeling up to it.. Take care.
I would not doubt that hr-v had the security system on, my Malibu had the same problem but I needed my other vehicle to boost it to fully start it. It turned over but didn’t start before that.
Yes sir on the Vette and the Miata....and for $32000...keep the Stingray
Hey Randy a couple of things. On that Miata if you just replace the hood and maybe the trunk lid with one the same color you would have a lot less PDR work. Also on that Chevy Trax I have a Chevy Cruze that did the same thing it wouldn't start. I also lost the power steering.

Hi Randy. I look inside the fuse box whenever I look at a used car. I also have a box of fuses in my pocket.
Just a good guess on the Chevy traxx, I've seen that exact issue when security chip in key would get deprogrammed and or lose programming and it would prevent starting just like the honda you tried.
We're riding with ya.
Mazda and Vette on watch like a hawk list.
Iirc, these miatas came in a soft top and an "RF' targa top version (Retractable Fastback)... Those 2.0s are quite lively...
Hello Randy. The Chevrolet Trax is a good looking SUV. The Honda CR-V is a good looking car.
Sky active is a whole bucket load of efficient engineering for the engine and drive train,, :-)
That Mx-5 pop up for sale now, you should check it.
Take it easy randy no heavy lifting
Yes! I love an MX-5
The vett is a gamechanger! Depending on whats under neath? It is sitting in a salvage yard for a reason. I
I hope this video was before your surgery. Please take care of yourself.
Like to see the MX5 and see cost to pdr. But.... Corvette YES!!
Hey Randy Mazdas usually sound like that on cold starts it’s so normal 😂 high compression af those engines I think it’s like 14:1
Definitely under Corvette. If you can get it for what you think but make this one a quick turnaround. I would send it through an auction house when you are done fixing it and cleaning it up
not with a salvage title the auction house will not accept it

Targa top. You got it.
Goon squad is giving one away right now beautiful blue one

My mom got the same car and we had to change the engine but the warranty covered it and we bought it brand new from the dealer my mom was the one owner but it’s still good and driving
That Trax probably has a seized engine from gm's famous timing chain failure on those engines. Some broke as early as 40 k
The diesel version was much better had around 400.000 Kilometers but the rust killed the car😢
I'd take that LT-1over the Z06. Not a fan of all the tacked-on aero pieces.
Hope you're doing well Randy!
Tough choice! Vette or Miata? Get well soon!
Hey Randy, just wanted to let you know that I saw your car parked walk around video with the Corvette today I hope you win the correct cause I would like to see it on your channel and by the way, how are you feeling cause I saw your last video that you had a gallbladder surgery because basically you had a major problem with your gallbladder.

I’ll be looking out for it whenever you get to feeling better. Talk to you later man have a good day. Tell Nick and Jessica I said hi Sia.
I liked the Vett and the Miata
I have a Mazda CX 5 and it has skyactive, well l9ve the car but if you hit standing, water,it will go everywhere but straight
Hi Randy. Have you been able to find a 2009 Pontiac Solstice coupe? They're rare to find. They look a lot like the targa Miata featured in this video.
You should def grab that Miata!
Miata nice car for Nick
Get that c8 it's so nice
The Honda CRV has potential Randy 😎😎👍👍
You should make a best of video of the cars that stunk the most since you're unable to work right now.
Randy can't you get the Honda for a mom in need, that thing still has life in it
Great video!!! You’re the best!!
Hope you're feeling better now and East and West Randy And Monkey Wrench Mike Is Always the best
Not sure if someone else mentioned it, but the Mazda Miata is supposed to sound like that at cold start up. We have a CX9 and it’s just the cold start and after 15-20 seconds it goes away.
Hey Randy hope you getting better
You need to get a ford fusion sport I just got one
Hyundai's and KIA's had some serious motor issues....car wizard chanel said you can't get motors rebuilt and dealers have lots of new replacement motors in stock ready to sell.
Hope u can get the C8 😊
I like the grey Dodge Avenger

It's part of that 'Skyactiv' technology that's supposed to get you better efficiency, sportiness, and reduced emissions. My 2016 mazda3 does the same thing
I would put a bid on the Corvette C 8 😎😎👍👍
I really would like to you get a Honda.

So if you can get it for under $8k it might be worth the gamble? Oh and as said that is an RF model with the retractable hard top. There is another model that is the traditional soft top.
That Miata looks familiar, I think it was at IAA and Mike reviewed it?
I like the Chevy Trax.
remind me what the outcome was with your hail damaged Mustang? was it repaired? Thanks
What’s the app you were using in addition to the copart app to see the pricing difference, etc?
