This is one of my favorite episodes of Hoovie's garage in a long, long time. I have gotten a bit tired of seeing the unobtanium (for me) that has populated more recent episodes.

This is absolutely gold KZbin content. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I think what makes it so perfect is that nearly every one of us can relate to it.

I once bought a 1988 Honda Accord in Montreal in the early 2000s. The body didn't look that bad, but the underside was rusted out like this Subaru Baja. I tried jacking it up at the jacking point and heard that distinctive crunching sound as bits of rust fell to the ground as the jack went right through the unibody frame/platform.

[@alexsmall6850]

Being in the UK, I only ever jack from suspension , or subframe mounting points.

[@BeardedFrog]

As a fellow Michigander, this just looks like a typical vehicle that made it through a few Michigan winters. Most people here would just run it. #itllbefine. My winter beater t-ruck is worse than this in ways. This is why you get winter beaters in Michigan if you have a vehicle you care about.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

Based off what’s still good on that car you might be able to minimize the financial damage. You’ve got 4 good doors that might be worth 500 bucks. You’ve got a good drivetrain that someone might be willing to buy. The engine and trans are worth a few grand, the interior has good seats and trim pieces. I would suggest gutting the car for any good parts that are worth money. Then after your done haul the hulk to the local scrap dealer and that should get you a few hundred bucks

Also, good job proving you're a newfan, Tyler wasn't always a millionaire, and episodes like this where he bought a cheap, trash car for a video were the norm, it's literally no hassle at all to have a wrecker tear this junker apart and dispose of the rest, he's done it before, especially to recoup on a total loss, you seem to not understand how money works, you can't stay a millionaire if you lose your entire investment, he has to recoup at least some of the money, which, even for millionaires, doesn't grow on trees.

Then start the engine before the auction starts get there a few hrs. early, go find another one, start it up, then go ack to the first car after 10 minutes and run it thru it's paces, normally on auction grounds. you can do about 6 cars per hour before the auction starts.

I hate it when a seller posts photos and leaves out damage. Like when they conveniently don't show the driver's seat right where the leather is shredded. Or only one side of the car and then the other side has a trash bag taped over the broken window. If I do not see pics of every square inch inside and out I move on.

This reminds me of when in 1987 my stepfather came home with a 1978 Ford LTD two door coupe. Had traded some stuff for it and said “Well, here’s your new car”. For what you could see if you didn’t go underneath it wasn’t bad. Lived in Alabama, but, the car came from a Midwestern state notorious for heavy salt usage on the roads. Knew it was originally that beige-ish mustard yellow that was popular at the time based on the interior, and, where you could see it through the dark brown metallic repaint. It also had gold faced “bullet hole” mags, air shocks and glass packs so it had the typical late 1970’s “trying to look tough without anything under the hood “ look. Started driving it and noticed things didn’t feel right. Turns out the underside was so rusted things would start falling off in metal chunks including pieces of the frame. To try and get some of his investment back stepfather sold it to one of his brothers, but soon after that it went to the junkyard. Thank you for the notification that I was not the only one to ever get burned by the rust monster.

[@mickm5097]

That's like a throwback to the Subarus of the 70s, the era when Subarus were guaranteed to rust out. As a little kid, I recall my father's tan Subaru wagon rusting to the point where 2 bars had to be welded to the front struts to keep them from flopping around- the spare in that era was stored over the engine and that had to be removed. The front fenders would flap in the wind because a line of rust would eat a hole from the headlights to the door. And the front floor pans had holes rusted in them so you could see the road going by, feel the winter wind coming in, and on wet or slushy days, get sprayed by whatever was on the road. I think the old man's car was worse than Hoovie's when he finally took it off the road. It was under 5 years old, and around 80,000 miles. Still ran great. I think it had the 1.4 engine.

That’s very unfortunate luck! This reminds me of my first car, a 2002 Ford Taurus. I live in Ohio so cars get rust, but that thing rusted worse than anything we ever owned. The back wheel wells were nothing but filler by the end of it. My sister also had bumped the plastic piece under the doors and it fell off and created a trough of rust lol.

I had a 97 Sable with an unseen rust hole that tried to kill me. I knew about the hole in the exhaust but I didn't know about the hole in the floor in blew straight into where the spare tire carrier was. The *stink* of that melting tire... I'm lucky it didn't explode!

I live in the northeast and still am surprised of this, especially how rusty the front sub frame is. Looks like it spent most of its life parked somewhere very damp/wet.

[@michaelflaherty69]

Yeah, I'm in NJ and I've never even seen "beach" cars this bad. It must have been kept in Salt mines lol

[@StromBugSlayer]

I'm thinking someone liked to drive it on an ocean beach.

[@carolinacars739]

Yeah, it would be interesting to know where it came from!

[@Iowaclass65]

I live near Buffalo NY in the snow belt and rarely see something this bad! Water ingress from the wheel wells and maybe if it was parked over tall grass and left for a year or two. Jeez

[@michaelflaherty69]

@@StromBugSlayer I'm thinking they like to drive it under the ocean 🤣🤣

I always thought these were cool. I always love seeing one, especially in the bright yellow. They could 100% bring it back, but won't. Also, it's sad how many cars out there that are not taken care of, but because of the shortage are going well over their actual worth.

Hoovie's greatest hooptie EVER. My 1st car had a case of rust that was far worse. The only place a jack or similar was the front & rear suspension. Anywhere on the body and the jacking device would just go right thru, like a hot knife thru butter.

[@GiordanDiodato]

that's why you gotta get it inspected every so often in the northeast.

Living in Vermont you see this on every car and truck after about 12-15 years, sometimes sooner. Especially Subarus. Oil and fluid film undercoating in a necessity as soon as you drive it off the lot.
