'04 Rich Dream Garage! Doug and Friends Build Their Ultimate '04 Rich Car Collections!

Nick is the only one who understands the concept of 04 Rich.

Fillipo did as well. Doug and Kennan, not at all.

Nick, Fillipo, Kennan, and Doug, in that order. Nick crushed it, though.

[@bandagraph]

Yes - nick easily wins.

[@MrJeepmarine]

​​@@swampfox984, I agree, but I think Kennan described it. Succinctly.

[@jish8681]

cant believe no one picked an escalade or navigator, those are like exactly what i think of when i think of over the top 2000's bling and hip hop culture

Gotta be whatever they called the Escalade version of the Avalanche, ultimate bling with limited utility

[@christophertupuola5450]

I think that is the definition of rich in 04 really. Specifically the Escalade EXT.

[@Ikaikaalika95]

Rankings: 1. Nick 2. Filippo 3. Doug 4. Kennan 3 & 4 are basically swappable though.

[@Petrospect]

You need Hoovie for this, three times a Hummer variation? Come onnnn, you need an Escalade on chromie wheels.

[@blackshadow7192]

Hoovie would just be every variant of the GMT800 platform.

Great thing about Doug and his friends is they are actually friends. Not youtubers collaborating. So you get good chemistry and banter with the occasional roast

[@nahlolurough]

I am appalled and disappointed that the Escalade EXT was not mentioned.

[@derekschipper8721]

Ok five minutes in Nick won, game over

[@EdDale44135]

I think of 04 rich as being able to buy an expensive set of cars from 04 because of the depreciation. Only Nick got the assignment.

[@KNRS927]

I think Nick won this, and Filippo finished in second place. They both understood this assignment the best, and made great picks. The E55 AMG was a nice callout.

[@hunterbrown4585]

Kennan not picking an E39 feels sacrilegious

[@lordwalker71]

Surprised he didn't pick 3 of them.

Not even a contest! Nick's choices were spot on! I'm old enough to remember 04 very well.

[@GreenBeats11]

Nick blew them out of the water. They have to be heavily depreciated cars how do they not understand that? Otherwise there's no point in saying "I'm '04 rich" if you're just plain rich. The goal was not to just pick expensive cars in 2004 era good grief.

[@mikeLOL45424]

This is such a fantastic prompt. It would be awesome to see this same series for 2010s, etc

[@gavihacohen]

How did nobody choose the Cadillac Escalade EXT or the Chevy Avalanche?

My brain immediately went to CL600. Glad I’m not alone there.

[@HiHoSilverAwaaay]

[@grunkohlaktionar7474]

Nick's choice is the best (quintessential 04-rich), Doug's is the coolest

Loving this type of content. You guys are getting toward a bit of a Top Gear chemistry and vibe.

[@pokecat6122]

Hummer, Escalade , navigator, Gallardo spider, 7 series, Bentley

[@kyleking3087]

I think the biggest car missing from this list is a Saleen S7, it was the coolest car in its day that you never see talked about today

[@gus628]

Yes! I always forget about the Saleen even though it was so damn cool at the time. The SSC Ultimate Aero too was in that era, another mid 2000s special car lost to time

[@artsohc]

Parroting what others have said. 04 rich is having a somewhat reasonable budget NOW and using it to buy cars from the 2004 era that would have made you look rich BACK THEN. For a 3 car garage I would get some sort of combination of off-road capable SUV daily, grand tourer, & sports car: I'd get a 2005 Hummer H2 for $15k. I'd get a 2006 Aston Martin DB9 for $40k. I'd get a 2006 Dodge Viper for $45k. That's about $320k worth of 2004-ish cars for $100k today.

[@blackberrymw]

This is such a smart video to make. I haven't even watched it yet, but the concept is genius. I don't know if Doug thought it up or someone else. But wow! What a great idea for a video, I hope it lives up to the potential.....

[@django8987]

As soon as i saw the title of this vid i immediately thought 996 gt2. My dream car glad it got a mention!

[@eaauto6182]

I got a twin turbo CL600 and found a kids private school card from somewhere expensive-sounding in California dated 2008 under the rear seat. Pretty cool

[@8ird1ov3r]

Doug and Kennan were dead last by a longshot, they just picked their favorite kinda funky three car garage from that era. Nick is the only one who picked three cars that were on theme - gauche expensive cars that have depreciated enough to now be accessible by us poors

I had a neighbor in ‘04 who had Nick’s garage exactly. Biggest house on the block. They also had a pool and a boat perpetually parked in the driveway. Don’t think they ever used it. Just sat there projecting wealth.

[@lcalvom]

I think Nick is very knowledgeable of that 04 rich persona so I think his picks are the best 😆although I would pick the Filipo's SUT instead of the yellow H2

Nick was interesting, keep him on the pod. 04 rich is people with money watching Cribs, Pimp My Car, rap music and putting glitter and chrome all over already flashy cars after Y2K.

[@MikeBMW]

You forgot the Cadillac XLR. In my area, it was a rich person's car. As well as many versions of Lexus cars. If you were seeing Lambos and Ferraris, well, your definition of "Rich in 2004" is way different than mine. Y'all are talking millionaire rich, not the guy down the street making great money.

The mid to late 2000s are coming back haha!! Awesome.😎

[@FreemanJameZ]

This year's problems will certainly be more difficult. Looking back, I realized that I was so preoccupied with my portfolio that I made bad financial mistakes throughout the previous year. I had to decide between boosting my investments and buying a house. After deciding to sell my investments, I learned that the home I had purchased needed more maintenance than I had anticipated. Trying to figure out how much longer I can tolerate this is becoming more difficult

To diversify your portfolio, invest in companies with observable cash flows. I've earned money in over 500 different markets in the previous 10 months since employing a planner to help me strengthen my portfolio at the end of 2023. If 2023 teaches us anything, it's that good fortune is temporary. Even in good times, we should put in more effort to prepare for the worst case scenario

[@AdamWright8fool]

How can one locate a reputable financial planner? I wouldn't mind searching the professional who served you. I'll be retiring in two years and may require some assistance managing my considerably larger assets. Don't want to take chances

Nick got the memo, but I want Kennan's cars right now. Doug lost me at the Switchblade, because in 04 I didn't even know these existed. The head attorney, where I worked in 2004, drove 2,(!), H2s. The 550 was sophisticated 04 rich, and is still the connoisseur choice today. Fillipo got the memo, the Maybach was the rapstar choice. This video needs more variations!!!

[@Tyler97GSX]

The correct answer based off of rap music videos of the time: Yellow H2/Escalade on 26’s (spinners are a bonus) Maybach 62/phantom Lambo Murci

Nicks picks were the best but that’s not necessarily the idea. Like Filipos bright orange merci fits the 04 rich perfectly even if it’s still expensive today. 04 rich was about being flashy and show-offy as much as possible and that lambo perfectly fits the narrative
