4 Stupid Things I Did as a Car Guy!

[@shahidraushad9608]

I can agree with daily driving the most car guy car kinda takes the fun out of it

[@BladedAngel]

Yeah, I had lots of ppl try to tell me this 5 years ago, but having finally spent time away from the "Main" car, I actually appreciate it more when I do drive it on weekends.

[@Noodlez_]

I tried daily driving my 1999 Honda civic, it broke down 50 times a month :D

[@JohnDoe-fp2gv]

My biggest regret with my car was, that I went to a mercedes dealership for a repair. I didn't realize how much you can fix yourself with youtube and Amazone

[@BladedAngel]

Bro...we've all been there! I'm glad you worked up the courage to work on your own car. My first Mustang Dealer visit wasn't the greatest either. I figured a toolbox and jacks would be cheaper, been wrenching since!

[@BobBob-et9io]

Sometimes having someone do it right the first time is the right call tho. Tried to do a head gasket before I had ever done anything else, 2 years and multiple thousand dollars later, the car is still not running 🫠

[@a1phamalestud]

John Doe same

[@unbakedsub]

God I have a friend who has a blown head gasket on a car worth around $1000 and he refuses to fix it and wants to get a new WRX. I offered to even help him for free and he still refused. He just got out of high school, he works a part time job, and plans to pay for college with his own money. Sucks seeing people wanting to look rich rather than working towards true wealth.

This is the same like saving on doctors and using self-medicine following advices from KZbin and using Amazon's medicaments.

[@arctictheweeb4111]

I’d say my biggest regret with my car is cutting corners, I don’t recommend it for anyone especially when working on your own vehicle. The job may be simple but it has to be done by the steps for a reason as everything relies on each other in order for your vehicle to function properly.

[@BladedAngel]

[@Trismo15]

I remember the day you posted a video about your 40 dollar sticker on your car. All about that Americana. ;) It certainly shows quite a bit for how much you've changed in the past 3 years. If I had a big regret, it was not doing more research on what car I was buying. I had no idea about trims or what the differences are between V6 and V8. I only cared about the look of the car really, and the yellow with the black burnout strips on the sides drew me in. Luckily I hear the V6 dodge challengers are made to last for quite some time. Over 3 years of driving my car and 40,000 miles later, I've had no mechanical issues whatsoever. So I really lucked out on my choice for my first car.

I'm trying to stay away from the car guy mentality, I personally love my 4cyl eco mustang, yes it's not as quick as the V8 ones but it makes me smile every time I drive

[@ElysiumsJourney]

Good! Stick with that mentality. What matters is you enjoy it, not other's opinions of what you like. I bet the 4cyl handles better than the v8 version (assuming same features) and still has plenty of performance. I had the v8 version ('16), and it would make me car sick. Did not like it for that reason, but it was a great car!

[@TrojanRabbit521]

To me ‘car guy’ mentality is just love of driving or cars. Drive what makes you happy when driving. I took a lot of crap for my Abarth 500. Don’t care it was an entertaining commute every day. F what others think.

[@glackinator_0459]

[@Wbfuhn]

I use to own a crappy 3rd gen 86 Camaro IROC. I loved that car more than I hated it. I loved it where I didn't hate it but was disappointed in its issues. It wouldn't always start. It didn't have AC. It had an electric fan for the radiator, which didn't work. Driving it had to be short because that thing had to drive on the freeway to get cool or drive relatively fast. The drivers door had a wobbly window and loose mirror. There was no muffler. The car had drag radial street tires. But driving it was enjoyable despite the stiff suspension. The sound of the engine was pleasing. I had to sell it because we had flooding that made leaving home a risk. I bought a 99 F150 with the 5.4L. It was nice to finally have a truck for when flooding happens and if there's snow. I have a 15 Mazda3 and it's my daily but on weekend I drive my truck. The only expensive thing I spent on my truck was the AC getting fixed. I bought a tool chest and a replacement foam seat. I need to get seat covers though.

[@WonkOfWonkyness]

The fact that he's driving a supercub makes it a LOT more fun.

[@seporokey]

Having a normal car to daily drive, and then your "fun" vehicle for the weekend or the occasional drive is the way to go. I used to daily my motorcycle, but I wore full gear so it would take me like 10 minutes to get ready to go anywhere, and then I would always worry about someone stealing my bike while I was at work. Getting a comfortable car that's good on gas, and if you can afford it, has advanced cruise control for traffic? That's the big brain move.

The thing I get irritated the most is when there is a post or forum entry of someone asking "how can I get 1,2,3,x more HP out of my small engine car" or "how can I make my budget car sportier and good sounding" and the answer of all the people is always to "buy a bigger car hur dur" and that "you should have thought of that before". This disgusting behavior led me to never ask such questions myself, as it would just be pointless. This sucks and seems to be a problem for car people. Cause when I see a forum on 50cc or 125 cc bikes they do give genuine advice.

for about 10 years my one and only car i owned was an e46 m3. it's been an absolute joy, but also bladed is right. there does come a point where it feels less special and the constant maintenance really starts to take a toll (150k-1750k miles was a NIGHTMARE. just flushing money down the toilet). however..... for me it's also "swung back" to the point where i've put so many miles on it (up to 195k) and i've made the car "perfect" to MY OWN standards and i fell in love with it all over again and now it's a life long commitment. i really do appreciate every moment of it now, highs and lows.

[@ShortThrowShifting]

As much as I loved dailying a '21 Mustang, the constant attention sucked and it was vandalized twice. There's such a stigma around them now, that it doesn't matter if you're a safe and respectful driver. People just love to hate, and I got sick of not being left alone to just enjoy my car. There was always a comment or criticism. As I said above too, after it was vandalized twice, I decided that I needed to let it go before I lost any more value or sanity. I daily a Tacoma now and I love just being a grey man. I think in the future, I'll definitely choose more wisely. I do miss it though.

Biggest thing I've done that was stupid, was working on something that time has forgotten. I own a Triumph TR3A from 1960 (Yes, same company that still make motorcycles) and even just looking at parts shakes me too my core as just things like gauge cluster replicas run up 1-2 grand. Along with that there's normally a reason time forgot them like in my case weak frames and the flywheel wanting to kill you. (On another note mine doesn't have overdrive and as such has a different transmission and it is impossible to find them thanks to those transmissions being made for 2 days.)

[@CorollaChronicles]

Buy a daily shitbox and drive it to work and back, if you wanna go out and get something to eat or it's a day off, drive the cool car - don't rely on it as your main and only form of transport.

I think ur sticker looked cool on the corvette tbh. I use window peekers cuz i definitely don’t wanna commit to my car looking like that. Subtle sticker is a good convo starter because theyll know you like anime. Thats how a girl that was into anime started talking to me.

Okay, I just had to comment on the Scarlet Nexus music throughout the first part of the video. Good shit! I can't agree more with daily your "carguy car". '00 WS6 Formula until I blew up the engine. I'm now putting in a 416ci LS3 in, and hopefully will be in by this Summer. No way in hell will I daily that again, lmao. Then I bought another similar car for my daily ('95 Z28) as I built mine back up and that became a project. Wonderful. I'm actually at the point where I'm selling the Z28 and looking to just buy a new reliable daily.

My 5.8 is for road trips and show trips, my Civic/Saab is for in town errands and winter.

I dailied an older american car guy car for a year. Then I found out it's better to daily a more recent, more durable, Japanese car guy car instead.

Absolutely love the background music

I love the way you think I know way too much about cars and have been around cars since 4 or 5 yo But never owned a sports car and never modded any of my cars because i know it is waste of money People around me with 500 to 800 hp cars always complaining about having to buy parts or rebuilding stuff and having no money , no house of their own and way too much debt made me realize that. I just want to own a house a Z06 or Gt3 (not both) someday be debt free and live a happy life.

I drive a C5 corvette , i love this thing to death i used to drive it everyday and found myself getting physically tired even tho i love the way it feels , but i got a job thay provides me with a work truck so i only drive it on the weekends and it's made me value it so much more. Everything u address here is so true if i could afford another car I'd buy something nice and normal like a Toyota Tacoma or a Honda accord .

[@Perondini]

What to do when my only car is my "car guy" car? hahaha i daily my Lancer Sportback Ralliart (to go to the gym and other stuff, at least i work from home) and i love dailying it, cars are meant to be used! But ofc if i had a econo car (Dacia Sandero eg), i'd daily it instead of the Lancer for sure, i just don't have the option to do so xD At least the Lancer is a pretty usable daily, just not very fuel efficient.

7:40 as someone who does wine tastings, yea some people can be pretty pretentious but I'm just there to drink some wine and say "damn this shit good" and thankfully there are more people with my attitude now too. pro tip champagne and mac-n-cheese is a fire combo along with Riesling and hot wings. (don't drink and drive, nap off the wine in the back seat before you try and go anywhere)

My biggest regrets are 1. Assuming that everyone with a sports car is about THAT LIFE a lot people are in for the looks not racing. 2. Complimenting peoples cars , because their response to me feels like (“eh thanks, why is this guy bothering and saying my car looks cool ,leave me alone”) they act like they I’m the 1000th person to say they have a nice car and their sick and tired of it or something. 3. Getting excited when the exact same car pulls up next to me or when another sports car pull up next me and nothing happens. 4. Getting excited when I see the exact same car next to me or we both heading the same direction and nothing happens you’d think there be like some type of brotherhood when you see someone with the exact same car you got and both are modded you’d think y’all say what’s up to each other or something but NOPE bro could care less if y’all got the same car. 😢 5. Assuming people know how to properly race , like why is hard for someone to LINE IT UP, HONK 3 TIMES then go ? And they don’t even say good race or anything by flashing the hazards or throwing up the peace ✌️ out the window …. No proper communication So because of this I mind my own business , I don’t complement peoples cars , I don’t race anybody no more , I don’t get excited if I see the exact same car next to me or anybody sports car

[@SR388_Zebes]

I've definitely been guilty of getting excited about seeing people in the same car or in another car that is labeled as a "car guy car". Had to learn that most people see it as just a "insert brand" unless it's an exotic

[@lndintw]

@@SR388_Zebes yeah I had to learn the hard way as well , basically, everyone around me with their car guy car is stuck up and weird of some sorts , nice to know I’m not the only one, so thanks for the comment.

I’ve had largely good experiences with other car guys, most recently an amazing race with a corvette C4 vs my E36 M3 vert. Dead even to 100+. I’m still smiling about it. The ole boomer said he was out testing his newly rebuilt trans and was all smiles and thumbs up afterwards. Another time an E36 325i vert merged on the highway behind me and we had miles of fun comparing the two. Again it was another boomer, gave approving head nods and the respect was there. The old timers seem to have more experience in how to race… not sure why, but has been my experience so far. And, perhaps it’s your area? I live more rural so another cool car/car guy is more rare and appreciated. Like the local car meet has 40 cars max lol. So, I wouldn’t give up hope entirely :)

[@SR388_Zebes]

@@ikaros4203 I had some of those experiences but you're probably right about my area. Unfortunately for me I'm in squatted truck and straight pipe v6 land so seeing anyone who actually wants to talk about cars is quite rare

[@codmw2nooblet]

I had an r34 pull up next to my r32 and i went to being a little kid in the span of a second

[@sambrown6426]

Not exactly sure how much staying in the right lane'll help when you drive an exact 1:1 scale replica of a Porsche 917LH, but I'll give it a shot.
