Aw Crap, I Own 10 Cars Again. Here's a Tour!

Click to Subscribe! ► goo.gl/x9qFdW
It’s that time again! Let's take a tour of every car I own. All 10 of them! If you’ve been following my channel for a while, you probably know that I have a problem. I often spend my time browsing craigslist and Facebook marketplace, looking for cheap and unique cars that are in need of a new home. And as such, my yard has filled up with weird, obscure, and mostly broken vehicles. I had recently slimmed down the collection to 7 cars, but it has since ballooned back up to 10. Let’s go through all of the cars that are here right now, and I’ll give you a tour of everything. What makes them special, and what makes them terrible. Come join me!

I can see this guy playing gta and collecting random npc cars and hooking them up lol.

[@jennabeme7697]

I was sitting here thinking this lol

[@zachvantassel450]

that is me in gta bro, level 250 and never bought a car

[@terryorcutt8739]

Your collection is just the perfect amount of quirky. Love it. I, too, have a soft spot for the Nova Twin Can and the McLaren Pontiac. A shame about the lousy ABS system on the Pontiac. They really were cool cars back when GM didn't have much to boast about.

[@dom_xi-dzopa720]

McLaren Pontiac is titular only but the decal looks good on it ims

[@alphatrion100]

That prism was called Toyota corolla liftback in europe

[@p.informatico1320]

The Nova Twin Cam is also a Corolla...

[@kendrickmoody6699]

I want that Pontiac!! Always wanted one.. love the exhaust sound

[@RetroCarsForever]

Actually tearing the interior of the Pontiac apart and using it as a home office would be pretty awesome. Especially those seats. Also THAT PROBE WHATTT! If its a V6/5 speed...whew

[@DvdXploitr]

Put that Dodge RAM to use on Roadie! It's a package delivery service and some gigs pay pretty well for those that require a truck. Where I live, Tractor Trailer Supply pays $40+ for you to deliver 10-15 miles! Once this pandemic is over and you're in the mood to travel, you might could find a gig on Roadie that would take you somewhere interesting. Before COVID, I worked my way through Georgia, hit a lot of the Florida major cities (Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Key West) and got paid to do it. Over $1200 worth of trips, gas was only a few hundred, slept in the car and got to explore different bars, meet some awesome people. Once COVID is over, I look forward to doing that again

[@georgeperezchevez9639]

Wow this channel is amazing how is this not huge yet

[@nicholasmcelroy4766]

I am the same way as you Ethan. Back when I was 18, I bought a 1991 Eagle Premier ES as my first car. I looked for three years to find one and though I had a 1989 LX model, it was not the same. Now, though I found a 1991 Eagle Premier ES Limited that is the same color as my first car. I love it as it brings back all the memories as it has the same features my first car had; Floor shift, automatic seatbelts, luggage rack, graphic equalizer, I could go on. Paid $1100 for it. In that sense, I respect your love for that Geo Prizm GSi, one man's junk is another's treasure.

[@jazbuh1794]

Bro! My 04' Scion xA is the same way... just keeps on going and drives great on curvy roads!

[@zeke3919]

I had a 1992 Corolla and loved it. I now own a 1990 Camry All-Trac and love it too

[@markburley3418]

Been rolling through watching the RAD videos, thinking Australia would really appreciate something like that. So different & refreshing. Mind you, I’m not in the scene, even though I am a little like this bloke with my five cars (naughties & nineties), in which I seem to replace the one I just sold with another one almost straight away every time, including ‘that look’ (you would relate mr ‘hellocar’, I’m sure) from my wife.

[@TheHelado36]

I love that specific Pontiac !

[@WthaHatchet]

Love the video man! If you wanna get any bad smell out of a car. I learn this from the body shop I bought my TGP from in Wilkesboro NC. A Thunder chicken had mold in it bad and the car looked clean just smelled horrid. The husband and wife who owned the place told me you get one of those air freshener that grandmas have on the back of their toilet for the house and leave it in there in the hot sun for days and then all you'll smell is the air freshener and itll suck out all the smell into the goo in the freshener. remove and air out and you are golden! 👍🤘🙂🙃 Thatll take care of the pee smell for ya! hahah

[@notny411]

Fun video! Some of my favorite cars over the years are 1987 Honda CRX, 1996 Land Rover Discovery, 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo.

[@Staatus_Quo]

Bruh... I feel like you purposely ended the video before the PGT just to get me going. I feel personally attacked! Hahaha😂 Great video as always.

[@HelloRoad]

Haha! Had to build some suspense right???

[@Staatus_Quo]

@@HelloRoad You're killing me! Hahaha

[@mattnorris6240]

Ford probe! Hope it's a GT!

[@HelloRoad]

Mayyyyyyyybe

[@mexicanspec]

You can tell from the front bumper if it is or not.

[@rolexmasterpiece9477]

@Jose Martinez * Volkswagen Bus has left the chat

[@robd4286]

One car I owned when I was 17/18 year's old (2000/2001) was a 1985 Merkur Xr4ti with a 5spd manual and was the most fun to drive car I ever owned and definitely the one that got the most looks.

[@michaelgilbert2357]

Wow I'm 42 I remember all these cars not a lot of people care about these cars I want to keep your collection going I'm an A tech and can bring those cars back to life

[@pontiackween4592]

I think the tour and radwood videos are my favorite. Anything with your personal cars in general are amazing haha. Definitely hang on to some of those! But then again if it's breaking the bank it might be time to let some go 😅. I know the feeling too well of only being able to have so many unfortunately

[@HelloRoad]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed this vid!!

[@felixf5211]

Your T-shirt with a B210 reminds me of my childhood. A neighbor bought a brand new, white B210. I was in high school. Over the next few years I watched the car's body rust in a manner I have not seen since. I mean, the body became a gaping hole of rust within about 3 years. Rust holes everywhere: doors, hood, fenders, quarter panels. Everywhere. And not just surface rust. I'm talking oxidation that completely enveloped the body.

[@lincolnguy1991]

I admire your love of the rare cars that were not well liked or known.

[@SeptemberWhite]

I own 2 of the fifth gen Nova's, I rebuilt one of the engines and they both run so well!!

[@HelloRoad]

Nice!!!

[@SeptemberWhite]

@@HelloRoad do you still have your Nova??

[@radstayathomedad9178]

Looks like a bunch of people beat me to it!! That unmistakable body line and pop up headlight of a ford probe and why am I not surprised it’s purple??!!

[@HelloRoad]

Very 90s color!!

[@HeavyTanker-vx4oq]

It seems like you prefer weird cars. Lincoln LS is for you. Jagaur based Lincoln. I own one and love every second of driving it, it fells fast as hell. Yet it does 0-60 in probably over 8 seconds.

[@lincolnguy1991]

Hahaha.....lol love that pun description of the subaru......lol "the poobaru" I think I laughed for a minute straight

[@lightning95sc]

I only clicked on this video because I saw the NUMMI cars in the thumbnail. Was pleasantly surprised by your eclectic collection. If you find an FX-16, you'll have the NUMMI twin cam trifecta.

[@okjeffy6581]

All these cars, except for the 2005-20 models, bring back memories. !

[@diablow1411]

A 1990s time capsule, you say? Daihatsu Mira L500 is all about that! This was my first car, by the way. Really nostalgic to drive

[@jdiluigi]

Holy Sh!t. I had a 98 SER from 2000-2003. Loved it. Handled so nice. kept up with equal aged Civic SI etc in my areas little street race scene. We did more of a time attac/rally on back roads style rather than drags. Jeez we were crazy in our early 20s.

[@danielreigada1542]

I think I have somewhat similar taste in cars to you. I currently have 7 vehicles (5 cars, 2 bikes). At a certain point it becomes a challenge to give all of your vehicles regular use. There are some weekends when I think about going out of town somewhere but I'm like "nah, I have a couple of vehicles that I haven't started all week and need to drive." Also, my main dd is also the car that I would most trust on a road trip and I don't want to drive it all weekend, in addition to having given it a lot of use during the week. First world problems . . .

[@Ronnybue]

You own four Toyotas, just like me!

[@drake5557]

This makes me want to fix my Conquest

[@Karmy.]

Makes me wish I could afford to sort out my '06 xB

[@stephenbartram7377]

Do it fix that conquest I can't tell you the last time that I saw 1 - now after typing this comment I'll see 300 of them

[@kesando84]

You could basically host your own Radwood 😎

[@hullinger]

Is it weird that I like each of your cars for so many of the same reasons - nostalgia, era styling and performance and being unobtainable when I was a teenager! I did however have a '93 Probe GT that my wife bought new. Ahhh, good times!

[@SeptemberWhite]

On my 87 Nova I got it for $1,500. I've only replaced a few engine accessories: alternator, starter, water pump, timing/serpentine belts, valve lift/lash adjustment, and for the final touch all new exhaust pipes-nothing fancy but replaced them due to rust/leaks, besides that it's in decent shape and when I bought it had 68k miles, now it has 105k and still runs like an old clock. The other Nova is an 1988 (carb) engine and I got it for $200 but had to tow it home, the previous owner had blown the head gasket due to overheating, but I replaced the head gasket, piston rings, rod bearings, (4A-LC engines don't have cam bearings) and all valve stem seals along with new timing belt and timing cover gaskets, after about $1,000 of parts (also including new exhaust pipes) it was cheaper than buying the first Nova, but I'm happy to own two weird almost unknown/forgotten cars. Thank you for showing them, it's nice to see others own old cars, and take care of them!!

[@mexicanspec]

If your buddy is still half owner of the 944 then you have 9 1/2.

[@rolexmasterpiece9477]

472

[@jdrancho1864]

Just how do you afford all the costs of keeping all those cars? Serious question. It gets expensive paying all these registration fees, even if the cars are old. In addition, you also have to pay to smog them every two years. And what about Insurance? I keep minimum coverage on mine, and I receive the low-mileage discount, and I still pay thru the nose for any additional cars I put on the policy. Explaining to the insurance companies that I am the only driver in my household and that my annual mileage exposure to risk doesn't change regardless of how many cars I have doesn't seem to make a difference to them. So how do guys like you and Hoovie handle this aspect of car ownership? I really want to know.

[@HemiChrysler]

Not many 1980s vehicles in my collection : 1981 Dodge Aries K-Wagon, 4 speed manual 1984 Volvo 240 sedan, manual, factory diesel 1988 Ford Cargo-7000, auto, 6.6 turbo diesel

[@tomfrazier1103]

The Stanza is of the group of cars I called high hat wagons. There was a Tercel and a Mitsubishi Colt sold as a Dodge. I took, and was failed in a driving test in a borrowed Tercel wagon in 1990. I passed later that year in my friend's Mom's 1988 LeBaron sedan.

[@WthaHatchet]

Ps I wouldnt ever get rid of that TGP! If you love it drive it man! Everyone Inknow who's had one and sells them ends up wanting them back in a couple years and regrets it dearly and it costs them! Yours is low miles and that's an harder thing to find. I'd Paint it again and you'll soo fall in love for many reasons. Also get that thing out to some car shows when everything is back to normal! You'll be amazed at how many people come and look and wanna ask questions and talk to you about it! Great way to send people to your KZbin and Podcast too! 💜🤘

[@decayofalberta1520]

I would have the same problem if I had the money lol. I daily a 89 F-150 manual 4x4 with the 351. Everything works, even the Cruise control works. It’s mechanical sound at 300,203 kms. But that’s a 80’s ford for ya. You should buy a 80’s pickup. Change it up a bit. Great video

[@kaiokendo]

17:38 dont worry,that flying piston is stuck in that floating tesla roadster in space

[@donteadoss]

Wow, the Stanza Wagon that used to be the Nissan Axxess. I always tell my friends Dodge actually didn’t have the first four door minivan in ‘96; Nissan did with the Axxess.

[@BarlowJacob]

Calling a Jeep a truck is really throwing me... Haha

[@HelloRoad]

Yeah I guess I've always referred to body on frame SUVs as trucks. Not sure why...

[@stevenzeletski1730]

I think an early 90s chevy lumina z34 would blend in nicely with your collection! I had a mint 1991 black one in 2000 that I bought with under 5k miles on it. Took it to shows and gained alot of attention cause I added some Dale Earnhardt special touches and he ended up getting killed in 2001. Made money selling it to a Dale fan.

[@adamgronvold8608]

My favorite thing about this, No lambos, no Ferraris, just cars I've owned and cars I can own.

[@outdoordinsmore]

This video is so damm awesome! The interior on the Stanza looks strikingly similar to my 86 Hardbody D21 4x4. Even the door panel, didn't know they recycled that many elements in 86

[@Karmy.]

Meanwhile I have a 2006 xB with 172,000 miles on it and it fails me a lot lol It's also got major rust issues ALSO HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER SEEING MEMES OF YOUR LIAM NISSAN A FEW YEARS AGO!

[@user-ov7wv6fd3d]

Saw the 944 before he even said anything. I actually find them for super cheap (n/a usually) all the time. Not into German cars, personally, but i love a cheap rwd fun car with pop ups. Just wish there was a mod market for cheap mod and replacement parts.

[@gsxss3741]

That Pontiac and Porsche tho🔥

[@JamesDavis-hs3de]

My first car was a 97 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo. The only thing that actually worked was the only thing that was worth a damn, the turbo lag. At my community college, we had a 10 level parking deck and just hear that spool...

[@_The_Worst_]

Them Pontiac Grand Prix still look damn good...👌🏼💯✔ Outta all 10 of your cars, that one is my favorite, fo sho...👍🏼

[@twinturbomatt]

You need to find a 1986-1989 Chrysler Conquest or Mitsubishi Starion. Those are really sweet and scream late 80's styling.

[@randallbrown2263]

I had a '87 Stanza wagon. Same color, but is was 4WD. So Nissan also threw that at it. It worked great in the snow. Drove it to California from Wisconsin and back. Took a pass for fun at the Bonneville Salt Flats. It was a cool car.

[@HemiChrysler]

I recently junked a 1990 Chevrolet Corsica hatchback. That was rare.

[@ecvdub07]

U got a stanza! Nice collection! Haha, my style

[@minimanadam]

Turbo grand prix...I always kinda wanted one...very cool unique car they were. I'd LOVE to do a big turbo build on one

[@chrisgreen67]

Wow, I love the variety and the bravery to just plunge in with all these crazy cars! I have never had enough space to do that, which is probably a blessing. Just one thing, though: It's high time for you to try a Honda!

[@HelloRoad]

Yes, too much space can be a problem!! :) Yes, I can't believe I've never owned a Honda!!

[@tonyjones7372]

the 944 turbo, my favourite car of all time!

[@adamgronvold8608]

That stanza scares me... And nothing scares me.

[@aspiringaspie3280]

Our suns rays are worse here in Hawkesbay. My 2002 Corolla hatchback has a long split in the dashboard above the clock and heater controls. Thankfully my car is white, so only the bonnet has sun damage

[@metsrock15]

I always wanted a Pontiac Grand Prix McLaren always thought the dashboard, electronics, interior and outside was amazing and so cool, just wish it came with manual, also functional coupe would love to buy it

[@jennabeme7697]

The blue Nissan scars the shit out of me just thinking about driving it!! That is a death trap on wheels.

[@spletest8977]

I want that Nissan stanza wagon. The Nissan stanza wagon, Nissan axxess, and Mitsubishi expo are my favorite oddball minivans.

[@oriondurdaller3349]

What? Those look like pretty fine cars to me

[@axtran]

I initially didn't think I wanted it, but I really want to restore that Geo Prizm GSi...

[@eganfo]

Your Stanza reminds me of my girlfriend’s Nissan Maxima wagon. That car was fast and had rad gauges.

[@Slocusfocus]

A 944 turbo? Holy beans! I want one so bad!

[@HelloRoad]

It's sooooo much fun

[@flyingfish2]

No, you don't have a problem but a very cool and expensive hobby, I only own 1. 1992 Mazda Miata NA. I need to catch up to you, next ride will be a 90'sToyota Hi Ace or Town Ace Van, what do you think?

[@HemiChrysler]

I tried Bring-a-Trailer with my 1973 Chrysler New Yorker, and was told : "we feel that your car isn't a good fit for our site". OK, I will never offer them any other vehicle again. !*!* those guys !

[@HelloRoad]

Sometimes I don't understand why they select the cars they do.

[@cartwheels4amile]

I just purchased a 1988 Subaru GL wagon sight-unseen to add to my collection of old weird cars. I feel like I understand you. We have a disease.

[@HelloRoad]

Sweeeeet!!! Yes, it is a problem... 🤔

[@OMthree28]

Are there not any car washes near you? Lol. I would like to see that Nova cleaned up.

[@vassa1972]

Hi Ethan I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada and no offense but I think that you need to get a real job and forget about the crappy cars lol, I'll be 48 years old in July and I'm a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor and don't drive anymore which I miss very much, would love to drive again without getting seizures which is a side effect from the stroke. I was born with a whole in my heart. Good luck with everything Sir and don't buy crappy cars anymore lol

[@xstr8fncodx]

Dude props on Nova and the Grand Am Turbo. However, you and I certainly have a similar interest in the rare/weird/rad late 80s early 90s. One car I have been searching for ever since the moment I passed one up (probably to only one I'll ever find) is the Hyundai Scoupe LS Turbo. I love the styling of both the generations but the second gen notches out the first by just a hair. Give them a look when you get a chance. The one I was looking to by at the time only had 105k clean body and interior black paint for only $1300. I only had $1100 and needed a car that day to which I went 90 Integra Gs (which ended up being great and I got 125k miles out of it myself). The next car on my list is a 90-93 Isuzu Stylus preferably 1992 as it had the 1.8l DOHC. If you look into these they made turbo awd 4ws JDM versions. 140hp for a '92 mini sedan that weighed 2253lbs. While we are on the Isuzu line up I also have to mention my favorite hatchback ever created (coming in at a very close second would be the Mazda 323 gtx) is the 1989 Isuzu I-Mark RS. You'll love them as well I'm sure! Well hopefully you actually read and maybe respond to this message as I'd love to talk 'OUR' cars with ya some more! Take care man, Cody

[@MacTechG4]

Since you like “quirky” cars, and wanted one that gets great fuel mileage, you should’ve gotten a VW Golf/SportWagen TDI instead of the execrable Prius, you’d have a fun car that gets great mileage ( yes the Prius still gets better mileage than the TDI, but the TDI is *fun*) and wouldn’t have to turn in your Man Card for owning a Prius Plus, the TDI is also available with a manual transmission, the Prius has a fun-destroying CVT.

[@p.informatico1320]

Have you thought about adding a high flow cat to the exhaust of the Chevy Nova to reduce the emissions? It may pass the smog test that way, and it won't have almost no effect on the behaviour of the car.

[@Al-un2un]

Love the videos by the way!

[@trabertgraneau3323]

He inspired to be the next Hooves. 🤣🤣

[@alphatrion100]

That guy only has expensive cars now

[@Pau_Pau9]

You are a Rich man.. I wish to have collection like yours someday. I too have possessed Geo Prizm and drove Nissan Stanza in the past. Mmmmm 944..

[@kippaseo8027]

Keep the Nova keep the prizm, Keep The Prius And XB. Get rid of the Pontiac get rid of the Jeep get rid of the ram get rid of the Porsche and by either a side kick JLX or a Geo tracker LSI. Look for a Geo metro drop top. Another cool hot hatch is a Suzuki swift Turbo Or a Chevy Sprint Turbo. If you want another car that is probly gonna be next to impossible to find but would definitely be a conversation piece you should look for a Hyundai Scoupe.

[@Jonmc511]

Wow.. you made me think of my 91 Geo Storm gsi..I loved that car .

[@aspiringaspie3280]

I am seriously shocked that turbo Porsche is still running after all of these years and extreme mileage.

[@worldhello1234]

If 10 cars per Murican becomes the rule, you Murican dry up the supply on classic JDM cars in a jiffy.

[@kenlichtig8024]

How much does it cost to renew your license plate tabs, smog and insure?

[@chrislemaster2695]

The first minivan was the 1984 Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager

[@lowlifeangler]

I didn't think those vehicles , then I saw the Dodge Ram truck..... nevermind

[@michaelgilbert2357]

It's me again sounds like you need a technician that loves your collection of poor cool designs of 80s 90s

[@aaronmoss3158]

I love the stanza

[@Sublimer79]

Buy a pro Ozone generator. Run that baby for a few hours (without you in it). And than air it out. (Should kill anything, including smells). And clean it.

[@tuanh_duong]

Renault Alliance if one ever comes up for sale , I'd take one lmao

[@feltongailey8987]

I've got some weirdos in my collection too...is Dodge Rampage.

[@jjjustinjl]

The best thing to get rid of smells inside cars is a ozone generator or maybe some vinager and some baking soda.

[@HelloRoad]

I will try that with my Stanza :)

[@grantmills4184]

Aight you got great taste in cars

[@sethminskey]

LOVE THE VIDEOS AND CONTENT but it drives me nuts when people call a jeep a truck an others SUVs and then the call a truck (RAM) a car lmao ahhh

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Your driveway is like 711. So much good stuff!

[@HelloRoad]

Thanks!! :) :) :)

[@jamesstaggs4160]

Damn 944 Turbos have gotten way overpriced. As an 80s kid I've always wanted one but 7k for one with that many miles? They're not that great.

[@fatman1288]

what do you want for the turbo grand prix and prism gsi?

[@markythelarky6948]

You need to buy yourself a 2000 - 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio. It is one of the worst lemons ever. The engine, mechanically, is great, but that's where it ends. This car is like something you buy at the dollar store. Its great the first couple of times you use it, but quickly falls apart. These cars have an infinite number of electrical, mechanical, body, and replacement parts issues. What's worse, they are based on the previous MK3 platform, but with added MK4 electricals and trim so its a Frankenstein of a car. So parts are sometimes hard to find, and you end up with a non functioning anti theft system, windows that roll up or down on their own, throttle body isues, and even failing 5 speed transmissions.

[@shadowgb]

Apparently the chevy nova was popular enough to be mentioned in ninja turtles.

[@ecvdub07]

I loved my scion xb the engine blew up on the freeway 3 4th of julys ago, 1 day after getting a oil change at valvoline instant oil change, they claimed no responsibility and I been struggling ever since.

[@HelloRoad]

Bummer!!
