Dropping $10k into this Hellcat isn’t really that bad cause you could have bought more expensive $40-$50k version and still have the Hemi tick . At least this way you’re getting a rebuilt motor that will last a while. Almost every hellcat you buy is going to be beaten up.

[@darkred1686]

That's a good way to frame this, especially on a car that is either going to be a well-kept example with a huge price premium, or abused with issues. Ngl, compared to labor rates on the west coast, $10k for all of that doesn't really sound like a lot (I'm assuming parts are included in that 10k).

TRUE STORY: A year or so ago I was driving home from work when the guy in front of me, very gently and very slowly, drove off the right hand side of the road at highway speed and without any brakes drove down into the culvert and then, yes, just like you stated, he "Dukes of Hazzard'ed" it off the edge of someone's driveway and launched his Buick a good 20+ feet into the air before tumbling three or four times, landing on his roof. All because he fell asleep at the wheel. So, yes, people do actually hit driveways edge-on via the ditch. EDIT: Being the first one on the scene, I found him uninjured hanging from his seatbelt. He released it (against my recommendations) and fell head first into all the broken glass. But he was panicking so... He was also too large to fit out the now squished side windows. After confirming he wasn't injured I pulled him out by his feet. He was a BIG boy. He sat against a tree while we waited for 911 to respond. He said he had fallen asleep. I have video of our conversation and the wreckage after the accident.

Beautiful house Tyler!! I've been collecting old pictures of my mother's childhood home and homestead from the 1940's in Campbell Missouri from relatives and got a copy of the original blueprints of the remodel adding a bathroom on the main floor from the 1930's. It is my desire to rebuild the house as it was in 1955 when my parents graduated from high school. My grandparents raised 9 children in that house from the late 30's till the late 70's when my grandfather passed and the house was too big for my grandmother to keep up. My grandfather's family had a old groceries and sundries outpost in Campbell Mo. from the late 1870's until the 1970's when my grandfather passed.

[@lcloutier1000]

The gap is technically public land. Depending on jurisdiction, a corridor of about 1 to 3 feet off the road or sidewalk is part of either the city public right of way, or utility easement, so the municipality can dictate the surface material and prohibit temporary structures if there is another access point to the property. He moved the main entrance of the property, and needed to get approval for the new culvert because they're illegal to build without such permit. Reenforced concrete is actually the 'best' building material you can get, so he surely was easily approved. The problem is that citizens complained about potential road safety issues after it was built. Even if the county had built it themselves (using the owner's money), the owner would still have had to pay to make those changes as long as they were based upon already existing laws. The culvert would've had to be covered in earth on the sides anyway, what they did is forced it (and the drain pipe) to be extended with a lot of earth into some kind of mound. Someone in the area is definitely not happy Hoovie moved in.

You should not have to traverse the berm in4WD stuff to get in and out of your home because of his horseshit. As for the Hellcat engine, get it built into a stroker. Get a bigger camshaft for it as well. Probably the same cost as a stock cam or barely more. And go ahead and send in the clutch to McLeod. Let themgive it a once over and a cleaning before putting it back in. You will NOT regret it. Those cars are a LOT of fun when they are done right and worth WAY more than a "good" example.

Right thing to do for a hellcat. Now you're breakeven keep it or just cash out 32K. They always should be brought up to spec if they are rare and worth saving.

[@petescarport]

Strange thing is outside Miami we don’t have those crazy take overs in Florida. And than this last weekend we had two in tampa where I live and they were busted quickly. I’m all about fun but can never support putting a ton of people’s lives at risk doing a take over.

Yeah Wizard, some cars make people act strange. I just sold a '14 Mustang GT/CS Race Red That people either loved or hated. Doing tricks for me on the street ... Popping wheelies on their motorcycles or Rolling Coal in their trucks and throwing things at the car. We still have the ZL1 and get none of that??? Go figure! Thanks for the videos you guys are very interesting.

[@kolejnipolscykrakersi]

Nice example is a nice example when You are about to buy it. If it was neglected, it will look the same in a week. Rebuilt one is fresh after the rebuilt, and it was less than having to rebuilt the "nice one" soon after purchase. Have that in mind..

Boy, I don't have a super car, but the way he feels about the repair bill on that car is the EXACT SAME WAY I feel after I bought a used car. I worked GREAT when I bought it. About a week of driving, I discovered it needed a new head gasket. I had the work done, and everything on my engine snowballed into other issues. A year of owning the car, and I'm still working on rebuilding my engine gradually. I'm learning patience by all means

[@danieldravot341]

@@mattd1755, if the previous owner is young and a ‘get me done’ on the paper it’s very possible he drove the stuffing out of it, without doing the proper maintenance, before it could be repo’d. As cars rise in age and fall in value they’re bought by younger and poorer guys who cannot afford the maintenance costs.

Buy some steel plates to cover that couple feet by the road. That will solve your problem until the asphalt gets installed.

You know, it might work out to be a good deal still! No wonder it was so cheap. Also: Buy some wooden boards to fill in the driveway gap missing asphalt in the mean time. It'll work better than mudding to get home. That's how some of the railroad crossings are constructed where I live.

"Bad attention from the county" is a funny way of saying the driveway was not built to code & was deemed a hazard. The justification also makes total sense, though is not something I would have thought of (though I don't work in the construction industry). I wonder if a permit is required for this kind of work and if one was pulled (no idea what the local/state laws for this would be). Fingers crossed everything else Hoovie has done has been done correctly to code with proper permits and this goof didn't just throw up a bunch of red flags for the county to start poking at the rest of his home reno.

Cars that young people buy are famous for having the snot beat out of them .

[@CJDiecast]

Not necessarily. I had a used 2009 Challenger R/T back in 2016 when I was 19 and it ran like a top. No HEMI tick, serviced with Royal Purple synthetic oil changes every 5000 miles and no accidents. When it was in my possession, I took very good care of it despite having the ability to drive it like hell. But I didn't, I knew better than that. It was my daily driver and it was comfortable, sounded good and looked the part. Eventually, it was sold at the dealer that we purchased it from and still lives on to this day by an older couple that drive it from Colorado to Florida and back.

[@Gentleman...Driver]

There arent many young guys that can afford a new Hellcat, tho.

[@sm_flys]

@@CJDiecast Unfortunately that's the outlier, every single car I've ever bout from a young person has been beat to heII or riddled with problems. I'm in college and live in a pretty big college town so naturally a lot of the sub $20,000 cars for sale are/were owned by a college students. Whenever I have that itch to buy something, I actively avoid buying cars from young people, for whatever reason, a lot of us just don't maintain things.

[@joe6096]

This is a result of two very simple and basic principles: 1. The previous owner beat the living snot out of this motor and probably bounced it off redline many, many times - Wizard may want to check the code history 2. The previous owner did NOT do oil changes in accordance to how hard he drove it. When they recommend you follow the "oil life monitor", that's for driving normal, like a normal person. And even then it's too long. You really should never go more than 5,000 miles on an oil change. This guy needed to change the oil every 3,000 - or maybe at the end of the day sometimes!!!

[@bubba99009]

Even then you don't follow the computer since the computer tends to be very liberal with their oil change intervals... it's not in their best interest for the motor to stay intact much past the warranty expiration. Never go more than 5k (with full synthetic) even if the book says 10k. And yea this guy probably needed to go 3k and even then - just too much abuse.

[@Alfadragon17]

Ouch! Thats gotta sting! Bad lifter ate the cam and now the bearings. Always remember the rule of bearings, if you look at them, they're automatically bad. No matter how well the engine ran prior. So, the lesson here is dont look at the bearings! 😅 I'm going through that on my project car. Pulled the motor apart and looked at the bearings. Now I gotta replace them all.
