I've Achieved the Perfect 2-Car Garage... But One Is Broken!

[@hamsterbrigade]

I applaud the commitment. If you think about it, you guys are making the financially responsible choice. All the extra parts people run into when maintaining a sports car now have a home.....in the other car.

[@AlanisKing]

Yes! Exactly! And we have a blueprint for putting the car back together

[@markjohnson5250]

Lol, I did something similar. My Dad passed his old commuter onto me 5 years ago, a 2nd gen manual CR-V. When I started having knee problems from driving a manual 20,000+ miles/year, I got another CR-V, an automatic one! Congratulations on the two car solution

[@AlanisKing]

Love this. Thanks for watching

[@kurtstephan7039]

Once again, you've come up with best video to start Thursday with. Congrats on your beautiful new Mazdaspeed! And oh heck yeah to a comparison video between the two. If you find a place to do it, how about an informal drag race, braking test, autocross challenge, etc.? (P.S. As owner of an ND2 in Zircon Sand, the shot at 12:50 is appreciated!)

[@AlanisKing]

Love these ideas. Thank you so much for watching 🤠

[@Francisco.Alvarez98]

Hi Alanis! I really enjoyed this video. It's a great addition to your car review ones. I grew up helping my dad when he worked on his cars, so it's something I enjoy watching. Thank you for posting and I hope there are more like this in the future! 🔧

[@AlanisKing]

This made me smile. Thank you so much, Francisco. I’m glad you have nice memories of working with your dad ♥️

[@tedadamgreen]

Finally rewatched and read the description… so awesome that is a family car. That adds so much more to it for me. Great work on the PPF and the red car maintenance as well! Glad to see the special guest star drop by as well. Congrats and keep it up. Alan Is King!!!

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you so much for watching! We’re thrilled with the PPF and maintenance!

[@GSBarlev]

I can't believe how many Miatas are in this family! I still remember the old _Jalopnik_ article from when Alanis failed to buy her mom's '08.

[@ronincamera1328]

Congratulations! What a cool 'new' car!! Can't wait for future videos!

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you 🤠🤠

[@BlackbirdProductions]

That grey one has to be the cleanest 04 Miata I've seen. The headlights on the red one also came out very good. Nice job!

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you : ) It has to be one of the cleanest in the world now, especially with the PPF and ceramic coating!

[@mekg5430]

Expel did a fantastic job on that ppf install!! Your grey Miata looks like it came right off the assembly line!

[@AlanisKing]

RIGHT? Thank you 🤠

[@josephkelly4893]

What a stunning pair of NBs. The new one is in such amazing condition, what a perfect garage, one to beat on, one to pamper. Love the ‘how to’ type vid too Alanis and Mr Alanis. Peace

[@AlanisKing]

Awwww thank you so much Joseph. We appreciate it

[@RunEmDownTony]

Hey Alanis, this is the 3rd video I've watched from you. The very 1st video I watched was your review on the Gensis G70 because I have an interest in that car. I never knew your channel exists until I started looking for reviews on the G70. I must say I love your videos, you give off an exciting fresh vibe that keeps folks interest. I'm hooked. I am now a subscriber. Excellent work, keep em coming!

[@AlanisKing]

This is such an honor. Thanks for finding me, and thanks for continuing to watch!

[@LScottBoyes]

Really enjoyed this. Like the change from the car reviews and definitely want to see more like it

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you so much. Still a lot of reviews, but planning more stuff like this too!

[@MarcTheWatchman]

Congrats on the XPEL sponsorship and Mazdaspeed Miatas! Would love to see more videos with both cars, keep up the good work!

[@AlanisKing]

Omg thank you! We are soooo happy with how the gray car turned out

[@kramer8865]

Really been looking forward to more Miata content. And a huge congratulations on the new Miata!!!

Genuinely chuckled seeing the second car after your intro.

[@AlanisKing]

I’m so glad. It means a lot to make anyone smile

[@alfredaflatooni]

Great video Alanis! Miata's have always been a favorite of mine. Any upgrades planned for the future?

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you! The only upgrades would be on the red car - we’re keeping the gray one fully stock

[@DrummerBoi1993]

I quite enjoyed this one, Alanis! I thought you were gonna go one car, one truck, but it's so cool that you got two Miatas! How about a cat back or fart can exhaust on one of them, nah, just joking! Lol! Great video as always and congrats on the new Miata!!!

Watching y'all replace the alternator makes me thankful that the only times I ever had to replace one was on a 90s Dodge truck, and a Subaru. So simple

[@AlanisKing]

Honestly it seems so simple and becomes so consuming

[@crunkburger9279]

🙌🏼 great way to bleed brakes! And yes, the correct amount of new fluid needed is *more*

[@AlanisKing]

So true

[@bandtish]

PPF is great! I got a 24 turbo Mazda3 & got the front half & roof wrapped. Also, I want to wash a Miata after seeing that clip, that might be the easiest vehicle to wash.

[@AlanisKing]

That’s awesome. Nice choice on PPF

When I first saw the title, I thought must be a GTI and an AE86... but this is just as cool😊

[@AlanisKing]

Love that thought

[@someperson7]

I just did an alternator. It doesn't matter what vehicle you drive, that bottom bolt is a Royal pain in the neck. Had to take off the wheel, remove the fender dust cover, buy a new telescoping ratchet to reach and then with the bolt halfway out there wasn't enough friction to allow the ratchet to backswing and it just sat there moving back and forth. I fought with that thing for longer than I care to admit and my neighbor walked by with thinner arms/hands reached right in and handed it to me🤦🏻‍♂️I wasn't even mad lol.

The bottom bolt is nuts!

"this is our practical car" ROFL! The wife and I like small sedans, so that's what we have. When we want to haul stuff our cars can't handle, we borrow our daughters RAV4! I applaud you for prioritizing your garage for cars! Too many people have their garages full of junk.

@@AlanisKing ur welcome!!!! ur so nice

[@Matt-ex4ex]

Applause applause. Miata is always the answer, I guess. If we ever got a Miata, I would want the Mazdaspeed edition. By the way, are your 2 Miatas small enough so that you and your husband can fit a third car in there? Next video idea - the perfect 3 car garage!

[@AlanisKing]

I wish they were small enough! We have a pretty modern build house, so the garage is very small

[@Matt-ex4ex]

@@AlanisKing garage goals! By the way, I was proud of you guys for doing all that wrenching on your own. Changing that alternator was no joke. Our son and I installed a new clutch slave cylinder on his '88 E30, but we weren't able to bleed the line afterwards. We probably could have used that bleeder gadget that you broke out during this video.

[@AlanisKing]

That sounds like a LOVELY car

[@kdjunkins]

I was always advised to bleed the furthest brake from the reservoir first and then do the next closer. So the rear passenger side, then the rear drivers side and next the front passengers side and lastly the front drivers side. Not sure if you followed that procedure

[@AlanisKing]

We did not! I’ll look this up

[@robinjack3531]
