In my opinion, you should keep the Chevelle. Having it in your fleet shows how much you've accomplished throughout your life and where you started. Plus it's a big memory to keep.

[@BigKrimbo]

It's also not tying up any capital, just a spot in the garage, it should 1000% stay.

[@hemanshubahl3785]

I love how Steve Hamilton (and his team) are always honest about his cars and how he manages his wealth and doesn’t waste money. He is frugal where he needs to be and spends lavishly where he feels it makes sense. Many people should learn those life lessons from him!

@@JackBettey 100% agree!

[@thisisnotrealasdfasdfasdf1704]

I agree to an extent. Hard to say that owning 30 luxury cars isn't a 'waste of money'. He himself says that its too much upkeep and he isn't even enjoying them all. Isn't that almost the definition of being wasteful? Millions of dollars of cars you don't even enjoy/want? Buying a $750,000 rolls royce (and a bunch of other new cars) only to sell them off after a few months/years is basically the epitome of wasteful, he's just so wealthy that it doesn't seem that way. I see people giving normal people shit for buying oversized trucks they don't need with money they don't have. If that is wasteful then I don't even know what to call this.

Not the way they drive and modify them it won't be. All if you have to do is look at the dramas he is having trying to sell the Bugatti, now multiply that by all these additional cars. I do wish him the best with all his sales. But since he said he isn't in the cars for the money if he looses on them, as he mentions in the video, he isn't worried.

I was hoping Tavarish would build his own battery pack and sort of "hot rod" the hybrid system using cells from LG or Rimac. Battery technology is way beyond what the p1 had 10 years ago in voltage and heat management

[@joshazie5296]

@@amazin7006idk i could be wrong, but hot rodding a super complicated hybrid engine system just sounds like a terrible idea. Batteries are way more combustible and dangerous than an engine imo lol

[@amazin7006]

​@@joshazie5296 It's a very simple system, McLaren's hybrid system is actually more mechanical compared to say Ferrari's SF90 system due to being RWD. Most of the complexity is handled by the transmission. You can swap out the motor, battery pack, and the BMS, and the car would still run very well just due to the way the transmission works. So theoretically you'll get a system that's safer, lighter, faster and much less risk of fire (maybe even water-cooled?) The fact that a few P1s have actually caught fire (and Tavarish's actually DID burn itself and discharge underwater) makes me think a new DIY system would actually be safer. How many Tesla plaids do you see go up in flames?

yea he keeps talking about a 2 million dollar car yet it will have a old battery a certificate of destruction,, weather he washes it or no everyone knows the history and to sell he have to drive a good bit of mileage so that if he was to sell they know there was no issues coming up after several thousand miles

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

If I was Tavarish, I would talk to Tesla or Rimac engineers about a custom battery.

[@lttlejordan23]

I mean, when you look at the fleet of supercars/hypercars you have on the way, it makes selling the current stock easier. Nothing wrong with rotating out the cars in the stable to keep the enjoyment fresh. Especially since you aren't worried about the monetary value, selling for profit, etc. Buy and keep what you enjoy, sell what you don't. Can't wait to see the Jesko and Gemera show up next year!

[@17blaqsho52]

Not the LAF! And the Rolls? Haha. Anyone that watches this will appreciate the honesty. We attended the A Pint For Kim on Saturday, my daughter was lucky enough to start/rev the LAF. Thanks again for the experience, we were thrilled to see the blood drive did so well! 🤙🤙

[@kizmvp777]

Love seeing other KZbinrs helping out Tavarish🙏

[@d3adlyxasian]

Crazy I’m seeing this video. My family and I had around 12-19 cars at a time and taking care of those cars were such a pain in the ass. From maintenance, tires, service, keeping track of warranty along with watching the market before any values of the cars were diminished. Was a full time job for the 4 of us. We also sold most of our businesses as it takes too much time. After Covid, business has become so difficult in the USA and the profits aren’t like they used to. We have always been in real estate but recently have been mostly in single family as well as real estate development. As of now my wife and kids are so burnt out with cars, especially with the new EVs coming to the market making a lot of new releases boring for us. We’ve gotten mainly more into offshore boats and trophy trucks. Hopefully soon, we can get into cars again. Enjoying the break from all the EV stuff with 1000HP Offroad trucks and 3500HP boats 😊.

[@alizee6605]

Steve, I love the honesty about everything and how transparent you are.. Not many KZbinrs or Wealthy people talk about these issues and or how to be successful.

[@0liverGM]

Not shocked because I saw them up for sale but was waiting for an answer to why.

[@Poofesure]

the way rates are rn i don't blame you one bit for liquidating to have more cash to buy the new cars outright, frickin like 7% is the lowest you can get, big yikes. oh well, grow the company more and buy the ones you sell back because you are so rich it doesn't matter what you do you will never run out of money!

while yes the main reason for selling the cars is to raise capital for better cars, i feel like its also wise that the new cars are high spec too and replace “lower spec” cars. It’s almost along the lines of Manny’s collection which is a line i love so much. cars are truly an art and while yes their fun, they are beauty on wheels. p.s. keep the chevelle, like how another comment said, its a testament to steve’s success not to mention a great american muscle car.

[@nickmoore1649]

The only one i’d say to keep is the Chevelle. If you get rid of it you will try tracking it down years later out of regret and can only hope the new owner would sell it. Everything else is easily replaceable.

[@iceslayer777]

I find it interesting how you're willing to replace the battery on your P1 for a Speedtail whilst giving Tavarish a new battery for a fraction of the price. That's very nice of you to hold onto the car just for him and it really shows how much you care about other people. The most shocking car that you're getting rid of to me would be either the P1 or LaFerrari but I can't blame you on that decision. Getting new cars in this garage is key to success and you'd be able to grow the other businesses you've got.

[@sam997TT]

From all the new collection’s youtuber, Hamiltons are my favorite one you’re a real petrolhead and really give the luck to many passionates to drive hypercars. I hope you will be successful in all your business like that you’ll be able to continue your car philanthropy.

[@Whatiffitness]

We'll support you no matter what, but I think you should consider keeping the Chevelle. It would be the hardest to replace because of the nostalgia and would bring very little income in comparison to the other cars. Just bought from fitment for the first time, hope you keep getting new customers

[@thytransporta2212]

La Ferrari is my dream car. Sad to see it go

I live in the area and would love to talk about an internship or find away to where I can provide value to you guys. Have a great day! Best Regards

[@wingman123]

This all makes perfect sense. Not only some out, some in but getting rid of or not wanting them for their reasons. The exotic vs hyper statement is true too. I've always told myself I'd be happy with one daily and one fun car. Give me that and an open house with space to stretch out and I'm happy. I wouldn't need a15,000 sq home on each coast and 50 cars. Too much mentally and physically. So I totally get the wanting to simplify your life, Steve.

[@dinukagamage]

It is non of that. Purely a financial decision. If you listen closely, he said at the end once he's back on track, he'll buy everything back again.

[@codyschlenker6821]

I feel that the SF90 is a good replacement for the whole trinity, the gt3, and the other cars leaving. It's not Bugatti level, but it beats everything else you're replacing. I feel the 765 will also leave once you have it because again, it's just better. So not ultra hyper track focused like the Senna, not as fast as Bugatti at top speed or luxury, but a very nice in between both of those cars. So you get exactly what you want depending on your mood that day. Which achieves your goal of simplicity. I am curious to see if the Jesko will be a better version of the SF90 though. It'll be faster, but will it be too rough and track focused to make you want to pick it over the SF90 every day? Interesting indeed.

I don't think Manny drives his Merc' that much since most of them are investment cars. That being said he is way richer than Steve and I don't know for sure but most probably a Billionaire too so I doubt its too difficult for him to manage the collection.

[@MikeRaskovic]

My boss just got his SF90 Spyder Stradale last month and it’s just insane. You’ll love yours and hopefully you put an exhaust on it. Definitely keep the Chevelle, and you should put a Martini Racing Livery wrap on the 918 after it gets fixed. Maybe you’ll change your mind on it especially since it’s probably the easiest hyper car for anyone to drive. Great content again guys thank you!

1. Really happy to hear you are helping out Tavarish. 2. Out of all the cars you are selling, The hardest for me is going to be the Ford GT. Second the Countach and Testarossa. That's my personal Holy trinity. But at the same time I understand why the C and T are going. I've driven a Testarossa, and it's hard to fit in it. I've heard the Countach is even worse. But selling the Ford GT...You might want to rethink that one. I mean, how much is it truly costing you? Isn't that one one of the lowest cars you own to insure? Plus the value has gone up in it so really you has been more of an investment. Maybe it's one of those cars you don't need to drive and turn it into a show car(I honestly can't believe I just said that).
