From First Rides to Top Drives: Our Favorite Cars Over the Years

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
The thing with me is I buy cars that I know I'm gonna like.
2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,600
Like I don't buy cars on a whim that I'm like, I wonder if I'm gonna like this.
3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:06,960
I buy cars I know I'm gonna like.
4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,240
If you're into, like if you're like broke, then probably want to get a Ford Escape S.
5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,560
But I've never lost money on a car so far, so we'll see.
6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,760
There's gonna be something.
7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,400
And then the guy goes to prison.
8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,760
It could go from 190,000 miles to 90,000 miles and like that.
9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,000
Because it was so ridiculously expensive.
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,960
It didn't make sense.
11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:38,000
My Tesla, for example, the all-in costs of my Tesla, including insurance and everything, are.
12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Car ownership.
13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,000
One of the biggest things in the world is a car enthusiast, right?
14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,880
Owning your own piece of metal on, well listen, I've owned that.
15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,040
But yeah, imagine getting your license 16.
16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520
You go outside, you see this new car on your driveway and you're like, yeah.
17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,640
Right.
18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,120
I did it.
19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,800
So we're talking about all the cars.
20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,720
We're gonna talk about all the cars we've owned today.
21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,480
And then we're gonna pick our top three.
22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,160
My name is Ivo.
23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,720
I'm Aiden.
24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,880
And you're watching the Accelerate Podcast.
25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,440
All right, Aiden.
26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Start off and tell us what your car ownership is.
27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,360
We're gonna start with all of them.
28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:15,600
All right.
29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,640
And then we'll go over our top three.
30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Cool.
31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Okay, so both.
32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,480
Seven I've owned since I was 16.
33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200
So six years of car ownership.
34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,800
That's because one car had a period where I didn't own it for more than a year.
35
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,920
First one I had was a 2015 Ford Focus SE Sedan, automatic.
36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,440
Oh, all the bad calls.
37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,040
Don't ever buy one of those.
38
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,000
That was horrible.
39
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,760
That was in the shop three times for transmission.
40
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,040
Like a dual clutch, right?
41
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,540
Yep.
42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Second car was a 2018 Ford Escape S.
43
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Like a base.
44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,000
But that car ran like just constantly like a workhorse.
45
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Like that thing never had problems.
46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Wasn't in the shop once and it was super easy to maintain.
47
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:06,000
So if you're broke, then probably you want to get a Ford Escape S.
48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Because those things never.
49
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,520
It had a 2.5 liter inline four.
50
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,320
That thing never had problems.
51
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:10,880
Sure.
52
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,080
The third car was a 2018 MT82 EcoBoost Performance.
53
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,000
With the 101A or the 201A.
54
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040
I don't remember the exact package, but it had the screen.
55
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960
And dual zone climate control.
56
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,040
That car was fine.
57
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,360
And this is the car I only owned for like six months.
58
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:33,520
Or it was eight months or something like that.
59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,160
No, six months.
60
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,760
I owned it from like June to November.
61
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,200
The transmission like inherently itself for that car was just weird.
62
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,560
I have never had problems driving stick other than in that car.
63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Because it was like the clutch was slipping, but the clutch life was.
64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,320
It was weird.
65
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,360
You weren't slipping the clutch.
66
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,860
No.
67
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,360
I mean, and I launched it maybe three times.
68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Because if you have a manual Mustang, it has long.
69
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,560
So you could set a predetermined RPMs.
70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,840
You just launch it.
71
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Yeah.
72
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,800
I got you.
73
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,320
So and then you got rid of it?
74
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Yeah.
75
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480
I got rid of it for a Mustang GT.
76
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,360
That was a 20.
77
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Same looking car, right?
78
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,200
2019.
79
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,400
It looked the same.
80
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Looked black on black, same car.
81
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,040
That one was a premium with every option though.
82
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,200
And I got it during COVID.
83
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,920
And I got it at a really good price because I worked at the dealership.
84
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,880
So I got it for $10,000 off law.
85
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,680
Damn.
86
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,720
And I got a 2.7% interest rate on a used car with like $1,500 to the interest rates.
87
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Yeah.
88
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,640
$1,500 down 2.7% on a $36,000 car.
89
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,140
Pretty good.
90
00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:41,700
My payment on that was like $500.
91
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,380
And I wish I still had that.
92
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:49,300
My next car was a BMW 330i.
93
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:55,940
I wanted to get into the European stuff, but I didn't want to go blow a budget on a European car.
94
00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:56,660
Okay.
95
00:03:56,660 --> 00:04:00,500
So I got a BMW 330 from 2019, which is the first year of the G20.
96
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:01,300
Right.
97
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:04,420
That car was amazing.
98
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,380
I still have him in contact with the person who owns that car.
99
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:07,880
Nice.
100
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,620
Yeah, because I sold it private party.
101
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,900
My next car was a 2022 BMW M4 xDrive competition.
102
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:17,380
Fabulous car.
103
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:18,740
I wish I never sold it.
104
00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:22,660
There's days I'm like, I need that car back, but it was amazing.
105
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:31,940
And then my next one was my current one, which is the 2024 Model 3 Performance,
106
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:34,980
which I know what everyone's going to say, but I love that thing.
107
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:37,860
And it's, it performs very well.
108
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,220
The charging is a little annoying.
109
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:41,140
It's very comfortable.
110
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:44,500
It feels well built for only being two months old.
111
00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:49,380
But that car has been pretty good so far.
112
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:51,460
And it's incredibly fast and technologically advanced.
113
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:52,420
So I love it.
114
00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:53,700
But what about you?
115
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:56,500
I'm going to stick to a rule.
116
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,700
I'm going to disclose this because I'm going to go five years only, like five years back.
117
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,820
Because if I go, I've owned cars before I even had a license.
118
00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:03,320
Yeah.
119
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Like I've, I've had too many cars where this video is going to turn into like an hour and a half.
120
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,480
And just me going through cars I've owned.
121
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,920
So I'll start in 2019, which was like, gives us a good little base.
122
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,720
So 2019, one of the first cars I officially bought myself that when I had my license at
123
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,920
that point, everything, yeah.
124
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,040
It was my 2019 or not 20, 2007 Mercedes S550.
125
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,880
First year of the W221 in the U.S.
126
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,320
I technically didn't buy the car.
127
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,920
It was more, my dad has a shop and this guy brought the car in.
128
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,560
He had taken it to some shop that only works at night, which definitely not sketchy at all.
129
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,120
They put some 22 inch Asante wheels on it and only held it in with two lug bolts.
130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,000
So the wheels fell off while he was driving.
131
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,180
Yeah.
132
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,920
And then, yeah.
133
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,680
So the guy brings the car in.
134
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,640
It needed everything.
135
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,400
Rear knuckles, suspension, whole, whole everything.
136
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,280
New wheels, obviously.
137
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,440
And then the guy goes to prison.
138
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:02,940
Yeah.
139
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,040
And he's, you know, he's like, can I pay you 30 bucks a month or some?
140
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,480
I'm like, dude, your bill is like five grand.
141
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,480
No, I'm, I'm going to charge you more in storage.
142
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,440
So then we just leaned the car and that was my first car.
143
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,880
My dad told me if you pay for the parts and fix yourself, the car's yours.
144
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,480
I did it.
145
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Cost me like 800 bucks for everything.
146
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,800
So I fixed the car, drove it around for about a year.
147
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Yeah.
148
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,480
About a year.
149
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,080
No, maybe year and a half.
150
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160
It might be the longest time I've ever kept the car.
151
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,800
Year and a half.
152
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,720
And then in June of 2020, COVID and everything.
153
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,120
I barely drove the car from March to June because I didn't go anywhere.
154
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,840
You couldn't go anywhere.
155
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:35,400
Right.
156
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,040
Sold the car.
157
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,480
Bought my 2003 Porsche Boxster S.
158
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,240
Salvage from the auction.
159
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,080
It was wrecked and I bought it, fixed it.
160
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Drove that for less than a year actually.
161
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Sold it in May of 20 or late April, early May of 21.
162
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,160
And then I bought my most infamous automobile, which I still own to this day, which is a
163
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,280
purse, but, uh, bought my 2004 E55 AMG Mercedes.
164
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,400
The OG Hellcat.
165
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Collector.
166
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:01,800
Collector's edition.
167
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,000
Like perfect car.
168
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,280
No blemishes, no nothing.
169
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:05,480
Never broken down ever.
170
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Yeah.
171
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,360
Most of the time.
172
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,200
I have not been broken down for a week now.
173
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Again.
174
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,720
And it can't pass smoke.
175
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,680
And it can't pass smoke.
176
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,000
Um, yeah, that car, it was vandalized.
177
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,360
Somebody had poured acid all over it.
178
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280
I got to repaint it, but we'll get into that in a little bit.
179
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,920
And then I, while I started the E55, it broke down again.
180
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,600
So I bought another car as a daily.
181
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,480
I bought a 2012 Mercedes CLS 550, which is a great car.
182
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,920
You could see a pattern here.
183
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,480
You could see a pattern on the real time of automobiles I own.
184
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Um, I've never had a problem with that CLS ever.
185
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Like the car was bulletproof.
186
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,800
I bought it with like 98,000 miles.
187
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:44,120
I owned it for seven months, sold it with 105, made like four grand off of what I bought it for.
188
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,120
And I bought it from a dealership.
189
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:54,040
So sold that car and then I got the one I'm driving right now, which is my 2008 Mercedes CL63 AMG.
190
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,160
So that one I've had since about January, December.
191
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Yeah.
192
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,200
And it's going to be on the chopping block in about a month, maybe less than that.
193
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600
So it's time.
194
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,440
So yeah, I've, uh, I've had some interesting cars, but let's go into the top three.
195
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,280
Let us always start.
196
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Okay.
197
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,040
Number, number, uh, number three.
198
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,360
We're going to go three to one.
199
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:21,240
So number three, and you can probably guess my list based off of what I gave you, but number three is of course going to be the Mustang GT.
200
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,740
Sure.
201
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Um, that car for all it's worth.
202
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,720
Ford's aren't the best built cars out there, but it's cheap power and it's a lot of fun.
203
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:40,680
I had a 10 speed roaring V8 over 450 horsepower, 460 horsepower.
204
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,920
Supposedly it was probably less.
205
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,720
It's not like a German.
206
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,200
So 460 horsepower, um, incredibly fun.
207
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,760
I remember that was the first car with real power that I had.
208
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,760
And I remember doing the line lock feature and destroying the poor P zeros on the back.
209
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,360
The, um, the, we drifted it.
210
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,880
We raced it.
211
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,360
That car I had for about a year and a half and we drove the living crap.
212
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Me and my friends, one of the best cars I've ever owned.
213
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Uh, never had a problem.
214
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,280
No, no.
215
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,960
I mean, it was a performance back pack, so the brakes were kind of expensive.
216
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,120
The brakes were kind of expensive, but like, other than that, that car never had issues
217
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,480
and it was cheap to maintenance.
218
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Like very cheap to maintain other than the brakes and the performance specs and all that.
219
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Cause it had Brembo's massive rotors.
220
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Um, but it looked great.
221
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,240
It was a very pretty car and I just had an absolute blast with it.
222
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,560
I mean, there's days I actually regret that I don't still have it because I think it would
223
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:52,200
still be running.
224
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,640
It would like have like 75,000 miles on it by now because I bought it in 2020.
225
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,360
2020.
226
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,120
I bought it at the end of 2020.
227
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:03,800
So I'm no, you didn't.
228
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:04,760
Yeah, I did.
229
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,560
No, you didn't.
230
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,080
Because when I got my 55 and 21, when we went to driving, you had the EcoBoost.
231
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,040
When Jacob had his red Mustang and your friend had the focus with the
232
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,480
I bought it in November of 2020.
233
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,840
No, no, no, no.
234
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Cause about the 55 and 21, I promise you, I have a video of it.
235
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,400
You had the EcoBoost Mustang.
236
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,400
I promise you, this was like July of 21.
237
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Was that maybe I bought it in November of 20.
238
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Probably.
239
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,920
Yeah, maybe it was November at 21.
240
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:36,040
Anyways, the, um, that car was just insanely good for the price.
241
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,040
I mean, if I could go back to paying 500 bucks a month for a car and have that one
242
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,240
and have all the power and do all that stuff and just have like, I'm really fond of it.
243
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,800
It's a Mustang.
244
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,680
It's just reliable.
245
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:45,800
They're fine cars.
246
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,000
There's fun cars to drive.
247
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,640
It's just like, as long as you're not buying the electric version of it.
248
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:51,160
Yeah.
249
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,800
Um, but yeah, that's my number three spot.
250
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,200
What about you?
251
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Me, it's going to be my CL, uh, 2008 CL 63 AMG.
252
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,160
I've, like I said, I've had the car for about seven months.
253
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,240
The thing with me is I buy cars that I know I'm going to like, like I don't buy
254
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,840
cars on a whim that I'm like, I wonder if I'm going to like this.
255
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,280
I buy cars I know I'm going to like.
256
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Yeah.
257
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,680
And I buy cars for a specific reason.
258
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,280
I buy them essentially to flip them.
259
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640
Like I've never really lost money on a car, which is why I've never sold
260
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,240
a car, which is why I've never sold a five.
261
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,040
Uh, but I've never lost money on a car so far.
262
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,840
So we'll see there.
263
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,520
There's going to be something eventually.
264
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Oh yeah.
265
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,960
But I've so far I've done pretty good and I bought the CL for dirt cheap
266
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,080
paid like nine grand.
267
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,160
It's got 76,000 miles on it.
268
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,200
I bought it with 71.
269
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,920
That's really your, your number three spot.
270
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,520
Really?
271
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,000
Yeah.
272
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920
I mean, what am I going to talk about my E46 M3 that blew up two months in?
273
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,760
I don't know.
274
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,960
I mean, like the CLs.
275
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,680
I love the CL.
276
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:43,400
It's so much fun.
277
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,280
I would have thought you was always the boxer at number three, not the CL.
278
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,960
Now the boxers at four, you'll see, but, um, I love the CL.
279
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,200
It's got, it's got a bunch of power, 520 horsepower from 6.2 V8.
280
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Got a bunch of torque.
281
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,680
It's so comfortable massaging, it's cooling seats, heated seats.
282
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,120
It's got, it'll park itself in a parking spot.
283
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,760
That's nice.
284
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,880
From 2008.
285
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,320
It's got dystronic cruise control where it'll come to a stop, continue on.
286
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,280
Basically a Tesla before Tesla was a thing.
287
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,200
Like it's, it's such a nice car.
288
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,640
I love driving that thing.
289
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,920
And it's just, I don't know, the big, it's a big body Benz.
290
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,680
Like the car just has, you know, the new trend has aura or whatever it is.
291
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:21,080
Yeah.
292
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,800
It's got aura.
293
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,840
The car's got that aura.
294
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,960
Like it's, it's like, when you see it on the road, it's got presence.
295
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,080
Like the thing, imagine being, you know, in my wall street right now, it looks like it
296
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,720
has presence.
297
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Perfect.
298
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,240
And there you go.
299
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,560
Imagine being a wall street banker or something in 2008, the financial industry is crashing
300
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,320
and you walk into Mercedes and spend basically 200 grand into these money.
301
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:41,960
Yeah.
302
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,400
It's just the depreciation.
303
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,920
No, that thing is insane.
304
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
What's depreciated like over 90%.
305
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,200
Well, it's got every option aside from like the design interior.
306
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,360
So the car stickered at like 160, which is probably like 210, 220 today's money.
307
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,520
And somebody really walked in there and bought that car while the financial, like the whole
308
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,640
world is crashing.
309
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,600
Like that's crazy.
310
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,440
But that's my number three spot.
311
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:03,720
Okay.
312
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,680
My number two.
313
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,560
Can't hate a guy.
314
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,520
Or I'm going to hate you.
315
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,480
I'm experiencing new friends and new technologies and everything.
316
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,440
But number two is going to be my Tesla.
317
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,880
That's what I think of you.
318
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,800
That car, I don't own the 20, the first gen.
319
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,720
I own the second gen, which just came out this year when it doesn't look like an ugly
320
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,920
piece of garbage.
321
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,200
This new one is far better looking.
322
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:43,320
That car is for everything I was worried about Tesla, I was wrong.
323
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,560
Because that car is, it's a given.
324
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:46,360
It's fast.
325
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,360
But it's not just Tesla fast.
326
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,200
That car pulls a faster quarter mile time than my M4.
327
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,840
That's not an exaggeration.
328
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,520
It's faster in the quarter.
329
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,360
It was just faster on a straight line.
330
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,480
You would be surprised to see it around the track.
331
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360
It's got now magnetic.
332
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,000
It's got now magnetic adjustable suspension and all this really crazy stuff now in their
333
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,560
track apps.
334
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,960
But the car is very comfortable.
335
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,040
It's insanely fun when I want it to be fun.
336
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,720
It gets a little boring because I miss having the engine and transmission.
337
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,760
I do miss that.
338
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,280
As a car guy and enthusiast, I miss the transmission in the engine.
339
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,640
I miss the sound.
340
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,960
But when I just as a daily driver, the speed, how comfortable it is, the technology, and
341
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,000
now I don't think they look bad and I think they look pretty decently cool.
342
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,400
I think it's this complete package.
343
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,720
If you're wanting an electric car to try one and you have some money to spend, of course,
344
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,760
get the performance.
345
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,680
I don't think you will regret a decision like that unless you just absolutely can't see
346
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,960
yourself in an electric car.
347
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,800
But I wouldn't knock it till you try it.
348
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,200
Just go test drive because it was funny.
349
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Jacob drove it last week.
350
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,720
We hung out and he drove it.
351
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,440
This thing's awesome.
352
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,880
He loved it.
353
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,720
And then he went to the Tesla dealer the next day and drove a long range because he wants
354
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,400
to get a daily driver but he didn't want to spend the money.
355
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,440
What?
356
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,320
What do you mean he wants to get a daily?
357
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,520
What about the RS3?
358
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,480
Oh, he sold it.
359
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,200
He sold the RS3?
360
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Yeah, he talked about it after.
361
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,520
What?
362
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,240
But he sold it.
363
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,440
But he drove it a long range the next day and he was like, yeah, I don't like the long
364
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:28,680
range.
365
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,040
He's like, it's not the way it looks.
366
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,080
It's not the way it drives.
367
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,560
It's fine.
368
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,160
He's like, I just don't like it.
369
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,760
And I was like, so you like the performance?
370
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,520
He's like, yeah, but he'll be in the same situation if he goes and buys a performance
371
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,240
with the RS3.
372
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,880
It's just a car that he'll never drive because he is the imp too.
373
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:49,080
So Tesla Model 3 Performance for the new gen, the new one that came out like three or four
374
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:49,560
months ago.
375
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Awesome car.
376
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:57,800
I highly recommend checking him out if you're open to the idea of switching from gas to
377
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,320
electric for a little bit of time.
378
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,760
But I think it's an amazing car.
379
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,320
OK, your number?
380
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,200
Yeah, my number two.
381
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,320
My number two is my Boxster.
382
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Yeah, so like I said, 2003 Porsche Boxster S. I was the third owner of the car.
383
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,840
I bought it from the auction from Copar in 2020, July of 2020.
384
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,160
Went to go pick it up myself with the trailer and a truck from U-Haul.
385
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,880
Yeah.
386
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,520
To LA.
387
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,960
I bought it in Van Nys in LA.
388
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,760
And then I went to go pick it up, brought it home.
389
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:29,800
It had been rear-ended.
390
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200
So everybody was like, you bought a Boxster that's been rear-ended, are you dumb?
391
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,320
Because you know, the engine's been damaged.
392
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,640
So like all the engine's damaged because the car didn't run.
393
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Like the auction couldn't get the car to start.
394
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,720
Yeah.
395
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,640
And they were like, you're dumb, you're crazy, you're going to lose money, needs a motor
396
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,040
and all this.
397
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840
And I was like, bro, like the car's got 80,000 miles on it.
398
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Like, how bad can it be?
399
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Right.
400
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,840
And I was like, I'm going to gamble.
401
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Well, you know that meme of let's go gambling.
402
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:53,880
That was literally me.
403
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,240
I was like, oh, let's go gambling.
404
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,120
So I bought the car.
405
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,080
For how much?
406
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,000
I paid 2,700 bucks.
407
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,360
That's not much of a gamble.
408
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Before all the Copar fees.
409
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,160
So it came out to like $3,400, $3,500 total.
410
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:05,660
Right.
411
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:07,240
With taxes and all that.
412
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960
So I bought the car, got it, went to go pick it up, brought it home.
413
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,720
It was just hit in the rear passenger side.
414
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,640
Like something had just, it almost looked like it hit a pole because it was just caved in.
415
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,320
So I was like, I'm sorry.
416
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,440
I was like, okay, I don't know what could have happened.
417
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:24,760
It's weird.
418
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Maybe like a motorcycle hitter or something.
419
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,200
But the whole car had to get, I had to take it to a shop to get the frame, not the frame,
420
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,560
but to get the like the trunk pan or whatever pulled back because it was all crunched in.
421
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:37,160
Bought a new tail light.
422
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,920
Actually, I just replaced the tail lights with like smoked tail lights and new bumper
423
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,640
and everything.
424
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,920
Bumpers are those cars are expensive.
425
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,560
And but I found one in San Jose in California.
426
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Some guy had the same car as mine, which is on the rear bumper because it needed paint.
427
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,920
Got it, got it repainted and it was perfect.
428
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,800
I paid like a hundred bucks for it because it had a bunch of paint chips.
429
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:55,320
Replace the bumper.
430
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,640
God, it all sorted.
431
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,920
It never, this is on me because I cheaped out.
432
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,360
I should have got a better shop to do the job because the car you could tell it wasn't
433
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:05,160
aligned properly.
434
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,200
Like when the trunk closed and everything, there was like some of the lines were just
435
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,800
off the body lines because it wasn't done right.
436
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,080
It wasn't pulled far enough.
437
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:11,320
Yeah.
438
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,280
So I should have got a better shop.
439
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,920
Well, that's on me.
440
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Whatever.
441
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,920
The car was painted fine.
442
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
And it didn't run, like I said.
443
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,960
So first thing we did was we popped the frunk, which was, it had already been open.
444
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Thank God.
445
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,200
Because if you, if the battery is dead and you can't open the front and let's jump it
446
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,080
from like this weird area down in the foot well, you got to pull out this like thing,
447
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,480
but whatever we pull it.
448
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,680
We know we popped the frunk and we there's a battery in there and I'm like, okay, this
449
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,080
is weird.
450
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,120
So we tried jumping the battery and you, when you turn the key, it just goes, it would just
451
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:40,920
clunk.
452
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,160
Yeah.
453
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,360
And I was like, is the motor locked up?
454
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:43,000
Like what's going on?
455
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,560
This is crazy.
456
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,200
So I'm like, you know what?
457
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,720
I'm going to do another little gamble.
458
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,000
I'm going to buy a new battery.
459
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Pulled the battery out of it, took it to O'Reilly's, bought another battery.
460
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,840
And the guy was like, hey, you know, just he goes, what kind of car?
461
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,360
I was like, oh, it's a dozen three boxed ran.
462
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,240
He brings in this battery and then completely different looking battery.
463
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,000
I was like, this is how you start it.
464
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,680
I was saying, I was like, this is crazy.
465
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680
And he goes, well, you guys have the wrong battery.
466
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,800
Like this, this battery is way bigger than what you need for this car.
467
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,240
The one that was in the car.
468
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000
So the one that they gave us was the right one.
469
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Put it in, put it on, start it right up.
470
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,920
Turn the key and it fired right up.
471
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,360
Apparently Porsche has a thing where if the battery is too big or too much amperage,
472
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,800
it won't let the car start.
473
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,200
I don't know.
474
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,000
I'm like guessing.
475
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,200
I'm guessing.
476
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,240
I don't know.
477
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,120
But it just, we replaced the battery and the car fired right up.
478
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:24,840
It ran great.
479
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,480
No problems.
480
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,120
And I've never had a problem with that car.
481
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:33,880
I replaced, it's like this PCV thing where the car has a little oil smoke on cold start,
482
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,840
but it's like this PCV valve that basically it's a, like a catch can from
483
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,720
Porsche is designed by the intake.
484
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,080
The one thing I got to say though for it being a mid-engined Porsche, like sports car,
485
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,360
it was so easy to work on.
486
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,680
Like on the engine because the engines, basically the car is built around the engine.
487
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,840
So to do anything, you either take the motor out or it's just a whole complicated thing of
488
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,520
lifting the roof and this crazy stuff.
489
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,560
But once you got the car in like service mode, it was so easy.
490
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,960
I did spark plugs in 45 minutes at my house.
491
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Just jack the rear end of the car up, take the wheels off and the spark plugs were right there.
492
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,000
So easy.
493
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,560
That was one, that's probably the best driving car I've ever owned.
494
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,280
Like that car drives, it drove crazy well.
495
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,320
It had a whole front end put in by Porsche Beverly Hills right before I bought it.
496
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,640
It's just so accurate.
497
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,080
You'd point the car in the direction transmission was so crisp.
498
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,280
The clutch was amazing.
499
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,240
I wasn't, it wasn't the fastest thing in a straight line.
500
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,240
I mean, it only has, it doesn't have, it doesn't know.
501
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,920
It only had like 270 horsepower because it was a, it was the S model.
502
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,000
So I had a 3.2 flat six.
503
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,120
Sounded so good though.
504
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,840
Like it sounded really good even with the stock exhaust.
505
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,320
And it was just, I missed that car.
506
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,400
So the reason I got rid of it was because I got a kick for, I wanted like an E55.
507
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,000
And then also the car was just small.
508
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,640
Like it was my only car, my only daily driver.
509
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,800
If it wasn't my daily, I probably wouldn't have sold it.
510
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,720
But it just, I couldn't do it anymore.
511
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,080
Like, cause I'm, you know, I'm a bigger guy.
512
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,680
It's hard to fit in it.
513
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,480
You know what I mean?
514
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,560
I had the seat pushed all the way back and everything.
515
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
It was just, it was kind of annoying at times.
516
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,200
Getting in and out of the car and whatnot.
517
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,000
But yeah, it was a great car, great car.
518
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,600
And I sold it for what?
519
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,080
Nine.
520
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,920
So I, all in all, I had about six in it.
521
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,160
Sold it for nine, made like three grand profit.
522
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,360
And then I bought the other one.
523
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:17,560
So nice.
524
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,240
Well, I think my number one makes, you know, it was pretty clear.
525
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,200
My M4 was a dream car.
526
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,400
It was like a fever dream.
527
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,480
I had it for nine months.
528
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,960
Agregious payment, egregious insurance, egregious cost for everything.
529
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Service wasn't, it was actually free because the previous owner,
530
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,640
the guy who first bought it had a maintenance package on it.
531
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,760
And that transferred to me.
532
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,600
So it was, I got services for free.
533
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:54,760
Tires were, everything on that car was just ridiculous with the cost.
534
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:02,520
But that was like, if there's ever a reason for you not to become complacent in life,
535
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,560
it's so you can own an M car from BMW.
536
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,680
Specifically of the G generation where they're all wheel drive and everything like that.
537
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,360
It wasn't the best sounding car because it's twin turbo and the S58 sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
538
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,720
The transmission is incredible.
539
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,760
Like it just is on a dime quick.
540
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,640
It's smooth.
541
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,280
It changes basically how you want to drive it is the way that transmission acts.
542
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,680
Of course there's step tronic and everything or whatever it is.
543
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,680
The steps in the transmission or how violent it is when it shifts.
544
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,320
My old E46 I'm through, the SMG had that.
545
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,600
Yeah, they've all had it since I think the E46 was first.
546
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,720
Well, no technically there was an E36 with SMG, but it's rare.
547
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,220
Yeah.
548
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:50,920
The S58, man, that thing makes more than 503 horsepower.
549
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Because that car was stupid fast.
550
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,600
It's just incredible.
551
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,600
Drifting that car is a challenge because of how much power it has.
552
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,440
Because it's got full real world drive mode.
553
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,880
So you can just flip to real drive, turn off everything and just spin it around in a corner.
554
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,380
Right.
555
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:14,760
But you got to be careful because it makes so much work that you can lose it really quick.
556
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:15,560
It's not light.
557
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,920
It's like 38 pounds.
558
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,920
It felt light when you were driving it.
559
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,640
I had carbon fiber buckets, so it wasn't the most comfortable in the world.
560
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,440
But I drove that thing 1200 miles from Texas back to Vegas without any problems.
561
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,640
The tech in it was good.
562
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,160
Completely reliable the entire time I owned the car.
563
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:38,600
It did this weird thing where it had done it since I bought the car, but it would be sitting and idling.
564
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,280
And then every once in a while would raise the RPMs up to 1000 and it would drop them back down.
565
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,560
I've read on forums that that's like something that just happens with them cars.
566
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,160
Nothing bad with the car.
567
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480
That car just overall it handled amazingly.
568
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,080
It was built, the build quality that physically was just awesome.
569
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,120
I think it looked cool.
570
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,520
Regardless of what people say about the kidney or the new kidney girls.
571
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520
Not new anymore, but new compared to the rest of the cars out there.
572
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,920
I don't mind them.
573
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,280
I think the car looks super aggressive.
574
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,680
I didn't mind that I didn't get an M3.
575
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,800
I didn't need the sedan.
576
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,680
I had a Sao Paulo yellow one.
577
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,800
In real life, that color is sick.
578
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,000
And I had a blue interior.
579
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,520
The Yass marine blue interior, which is even cooler paired with Sao Paulo yellow.
580
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Carbon fiber, everything.
581
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:31,800
They come standard with a carbon fiber roof.
582
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,680
A wicked quarter mile time.
583
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,480
The shits were violent.
584
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,880
Like a Ventedor violent if you wanted them to be.
585
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:49,000
And it just overall was a completely fantastic car.
586
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,120
I lost money on that car when I sold it.
587
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:54,040
I just didn't want to, I just couldn't do it.
588
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,960
Because it was so ridiculously expensive.
589
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,240
Just it didn't make sense.
590
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:04,040
My Tesla, for example, the all in costs of my Tesla, including insurance and everything,
591
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,360
are half or less than half of what the M4 cost me to operate every.
592
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,160
Financially, I just I couldn't be stupid anymore.
593
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,280
And I was like, I can't do this.
594
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,880
So I private party sold the M4.
595
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,640
It went to a good home.
596
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Someone who actually BMW purists who just wanted an M4 that badly.
597
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,680
I paid 82 in mid 2023.
598
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000
So this is when the x drives were like expensive.
599
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,680
This is before they started to crash.
600
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,760
So x drive for the first year for the competitions to get x drive was 2022 for the M4.
601
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,320
So that's the first year they had.
602
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Came with x drive.
603
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240
Before that, it was a competition, we will drive or a manual, we will drive.
604
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,280
But I sold it.
605
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,840
Well, I bought it for 82.
606
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:49,880
And then I sold it for 70.
607
00:25:50,760 --> 00:26:00,040
So, you know, cost of like paying for it, the insurance, the depreciation, I spent a
608
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,960
lot of money, lots and lots of money.
609
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,240
But I had a really good time with it for the entire time I was driving it.
610
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,880
So it was just, it's all that matters at the end of the day.
611
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,600
It's all that matters.
612
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,360
So what about your first car, Yvo?
613
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:28,120
So my first, my top number one car, first car, my 55.
614
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,600
Crazy to say, because that car has been nothing but headaches since I bought it.
615
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,200
Garbage.
616
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,680
Yeah.
617
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,840
The great cars, it's just, I bought the worst one, like the worst one you could buy.
618
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Bought it for four grand.
619
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,440
Ran and drove, that should say a lot.
620
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,640
How much have you put into it?
621
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,520
Don't ask.
622
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,560
No, I want to know.
623
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,160
I want the internet to know.
624
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,560
Like dead ass, I don't know.
625
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,160
I have no idea.
626
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,120
Probably over 20 grand.
627
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:53,640
Serious.
628
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,000
Bought it, had to get it repented because it was vandalized.
629
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,440
Somebody had poured acid all over it.
630
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,960
It was an insurance job.
631
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:00,440
Yeah.
632
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,840
The old mechanic of the car told me.
633
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,040
The car had a junkyard transmission and so I ended up rebuilding it.
634
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,560
My dad rebuilt the transmission.
635
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Then I, when I hit the car, my dad rebuilt the motor.
636
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,520
So it's got a new motor.
637
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240
I put four rods and pistons and everything in it.
638
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,040
So it's got all that.
639
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,760
But it's just been a nightmare, dude.
640
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,360
That's your favorite car.
641
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:23,000
Huh?
642
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,280
When is your favorite car?
643
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,520
Because when it runs, it's just so fun.
644
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,600
Fast, sounds great.
645
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Looks great.
646
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,600
It's silver originally and now it's wrapped.
647
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,880
I wrapped it China blue.
648
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,680
You sure did.
649
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,160
Because of, I just didn't want to paint.
650
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,680
I had a replacement for my front.
651
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,200
I just didn't want to paint it so I just wrapped it.
652
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,720
It looks great.
653
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,320
It's been sitting outside my house again.
654
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,840
The fuel pump's been out last week.
655
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,840
So I'm doing bigger pumps now.
656
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Bigger wall burrow pumps.
657
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,800
In terms of what, you know, it sat outside my house for seven months at the beginning of the year.
658
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Where electrical issue, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
659
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,360
It started up, the gas pedal didn't work, throttle body didn't work.
660
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,880
Replaced the ECU, fixed it.
661
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,840
So now it works.
662
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:05,960
I don't know.
663
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,960
It's been a, literally this car's like this.
664
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,760
It's like the stock market.
665
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,880
Like, yeah.
666
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,240
But I love the car.
667
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040
I've got sentimental value with it and I'll never sell the car.
668
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Partially because I don't want to admit I've taken a loss on it.
669
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,080
But I just don't want to sell the car.
670
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,080
One day when it's worth millions, I'll sell it.
671
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,240
The thing is with cars is they're never going.
672
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,280
Most of the time.
673
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,120
They appreciate, this one has been appreciated.
674
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,240
If you look at values of clean E55s, they've appreciated it.
675
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,920
Now this one is the worst E55.
676
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,920
But if I take it back home to Bulgaria, there's no such thing as rebuilt salvage titles.
677
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,200
Or a credit card.
678
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,080
It could go from 190,000 miles to 90,000 miles and like that.
679
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:42,760
No, I'm kidding.
680
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,280
But realistically, if I take the car back home.
681
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Don't buy a China blue wrapped E55.
682
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,440
It's going to have an odometer rollback.
683
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,600
But yeah, the car's, what do you call it?
684
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
If I take it back home, I could get like 60 grand for it.
685
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,840
Their currency, which is about $30,000.
686
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,800
That's not bad.
687
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,880
No, and people don't care back home about titles.
688
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,960
They have titles, but there's no such thing as a rebuilt or salvaged title.
689
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,840
It's not a thing back home.
690
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,800
And it's a great looking car.
691
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,240
I've shown a bunch of people where I'm from.
692
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,360
My city, the car, and they're like, oh, you're looking at selling.
693
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,640
I'm like, well, first off, you can't afford it.
694
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,200
But yeah.
695
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,200
Well, first off, you can't.
696
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,160
They can't because they're like, they're like, oh, three, four grand.
697
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,120
I'm like, I don't know.
698
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Like the car's worth like, you know, I mean, the engine alone, now that it's rebuilt,
699
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,360
it's worth about seven grand with all the parts I have on it and all the bolt-ons and all that.
700
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,320
It's worth about seven.
701
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,520
Transmission's rebuilt.
702
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,800
I put a bigger, my dad put a bigger clutch back in it, so it's rebuilt.
703
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,560
I mean, it's great.
704
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,520
I love that car, but it's just got so many electrical problems now, partially because
705
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,960
it's old and partially because it's just, I think I'm like the eighth owner.
706
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,120
Like the car's just been, it's been through the wringer.
707
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,000
Like it's bad.
708
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,240
But that's it.
709
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,680
That's my top three cars that I've ever owned.
