5:16 apparently the reason why Bugatti oil changes are so damn expensive is because there are about 13 oil drain plugs hidden throughout the engine bay of the car. You need to completely disassemble the rear end of the car just to drain all the oil out, then you need to replace the oil filter (which I’m sure was developed exclusively for this car, which is more money), then you need to reassemble the rear end of the car refill the oil before you can even get going again

I work at an auto parts counter. I see so many guys who can finally afford something fancier than a six-year-old Camry who come in for parts only to find that, despite getting a killer deal on a CTS, or a 328i, or any elderly Jaguar; the economy ended at the purchase. I have a regular customer who got a BMW 3 for about the same price as a similarly aged Civic. The infernal HID bulbs for the headlights are about $150 each, which is about ten times the price of headlights for a Civic. The PCM crapped out about two weeks after he got the car. A salvage replacement wasn't outrageously expensive, but he ended up having to tow it about eighty miles to the nearest BMW dealership to convince the new PCM that it wasn't stolen. The dealership did not do the job for free. If you can afford a fancy car, you'd better be able to afford a fancy repair. It's the way the world works. I love my old Dodge.

God forbid they put all the fancy non-mechanical stuff on a car with inexpensive mechanical stuff. Everything nice about a 328i has _no reason_ not to be on a car as durable and inexpensive to maintain as a Civic. I've asked.

[@mephdlop]

Fun fact: with a full tank and brand new tires, you'll only get 10 minutes at top speed. While the tank drains to empty in 13, the tires only last 10 minutes before becoming fully worn out and dangerous. the Bugatti oil change is partially that high due to it taking 2 days to do, requires a partial engine drop, and mechanic having to reach something like 20 drain plugs. the tires are bespoke Michelin tires designed to keep grip and not explode at speed, you're paying for the R&D and being the only tires for the car. the rims share a lot of DNA with F1 rims, which only last a single race before having to be scrapped and remade. the brakes are bespoke as well, and made of a lot of exotic materials. Basically, Bugatti's are designed to be looked at, maybe taken to its limits once and then put away, more than actually daily driven.

[@ryanfitzgerald9833]

@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive Yeah But those Cars ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DO THAT. as a mechanic I gotta tell you thats like saying why thain to be a boxer when a man on sarms and angel dust can hit just as hard in half the time. for one no they cant go that fast. no street car is really likely to match those speeds. they are maybe able to accelerate like that with enough mods. but again this can be fatal even if you are a good driver. if you forget or miss one upgrade you needed parts of your care can explode. not just the ones dealing with combustion. like tires, drive shaft, diff. and again most wheels and tires except those cant take that.

[@unkindled6410]

Heres the thing; those numbers are for top speed, but what about operating at other conditions? You wont really ever get these 400+ top speeds even in a private race track because at that point they could only get those at controlled enviroments, even if you race this thing on a normal racetrack, assuming you have the skill for it, you probably wont reach much more than a little over 320KM/H. (Which is about 200MPH for you american measurement weirdos) and even then yeah, after a lap or 2 you will want this thing checked but it wont be nearly breaking down bad but just roughed. And if you drive it around normally inckuding some leisure driving maybe flooring a little but never going crazy? I heard the engines are designed to be able to last for 30 years if properly maintained. Thats a lot of money on maintanences since i heard the warranty if for about 24k miles every 2 years so yeah.

[@notamouse5630]

7:00 Supercars are effectively like aircraft and the parts are made like aircraft parts and the maintenance is like aircraft maintenance. This is all expensive because the components are engineered within an inch of their life, like aircraft parts made of aluminum and notoriously prone to fatigue failure under normal loads for excess time.

Really liked Michael's input. It's funny (and usually appropriate) to point fingers at large corporations and laugh about their greediness, but it's also neat to be reminded of the very real technical reasons behind certain compromises. Like the bit about the McLaren engine placement for example. Obviously there's a financial incentive to making it difficult to work on, but the architecture of a midship supercar also just makes it inherently difficult, as you'd have to compromise on cooling, weight distribution, drag etc. if you wanted to make it more accessible.

[@InvisibleSquids]

Not only is it the in-depth inspection of _literally every structural component_ on the car that savagememes873 mentioned, but the Buggati's have multiple drain points and inspection ports that have to be serviced every single time. Take a new Ford F150 with a 5.0L to a Ford Dealer for just an oil change, it's $100 and a 30-minute wait because it takes 15 minutes just in drain time. On the Cherion, half the underbody gets disassembled. That truck just gets a felt panel removed.

The reason there are so many abandoned expensive things (not just cars, yatchts and luxury apartments are also very common) are abandoned in Dubai is because going into extreme debt is considered theft and what they call "aggravated theft" (We in the West call it grand larceny) is a death penalty crime punishable by firing squad. Fun fact, this also extends to the abandoned property of debtors as it is still considered owned by them even if they couldn't afford to take it with them into exile. So attempting to repo those abandoned cars would be considered "aggravated theft" (grand larceny) and get you put in front of a firing squad. The UAE is a massive human rights violation.

I watched top gear once and Jeremy brought up the fuel consumption on those. I hadn’t even thought about that before but he said it was going through the whole tank in like 2 mins or something crazy. lol.

[@kevingrant2326]

Man those are some high strung , fragile cars , fast ? yeah ! Fun for a little while until it breaks . I like old American cars , Model A with a 327 Chevy. Or a little more exotic ? How about a 55 Austin Healy with a 327 Chevy .

[@daveydeboer2542]

I heard the Bugatti wheel replacement with maintenance is because the tires have to be "glued" on the rim otherwise the rims would rotate inside the tire.

[@michaelf.2449]

Which is just ridiculous because ugr Lamborghini seems to do fine with double the power without all that effort

[@medler2110]

@@michaelf.2449 Which Lamborghini has double the power of a Chiron?

Where’s the “I see Sandro I click” comment with 5K likes this time? It’s in there somewhere 😂

[@LauweJoster]

Funny thing about the crashed Ferrari, that's a green Dutch test drive plate. So that guy just got into a car he can't handle and crashed the dealer's car

[@Odder-Being]

My neighbour has a green plate on his car but he is driving the car daily for a month now.

[@PeeJay13101980]

It was the owner who was driving it. He was importing it, hence the green plates. The driver, Strous, is an ex Indy Light racer. When hitting the throttle, a part on the left rear side snapped, making it slide out of control.

[@Odder-Being]

@@PeeJay13101980 Yes, thats what i would tell the world also.

[@milescarter7803]

The high end Hondas have an oil temp light. The S2000 has bars above the Tach, as you warm it up they turn off in sequence so you can rev it higher. Physics doesn't care what car brand you have. And you can always install a block heater (or coolant thermos like a Prius has) if you wanted a faster warm up. In fact F1 engines can't even be started until hot fluids are circulated through the engine and it's pre heated.

[@nthgth]

Lots of road cars have oil temp gauges. It's apparently fallen out of vogue because of cost cutting, but it used to be common. See it a lot while window shopping on Bring a Trailer. Oil pressure too

[@kacperkacper8817]

1:56 in Berlin there are also abandoned cars (mainly polish) and u can't just take them mainly for some legal reasons (like the car has an owner ) and the car will be just sitting there until the city will just take it (it takes about a month)

[@nthgth]

Poland has an auto industry??

5:08 That's a bunch a cool civics ... one of the truest truths 😆

[@patxusko4898]

Yup

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

You guys are making me glad I drive a Honda that probably can't go over 120. Full synthetic oil change:

[@nthgth]

This. And if you wanted Lamborghini performance, there are videos of super cheap Civic builds beating those in acceleration. (And you know with the weight difference it'll out handle it too)

[@n085fs]

Tires are shoes. Wheels are feet. Control arms are leg and arm bones. Axles are muscles. Intake air filter is nose hair. Cabin air filter is snot.

[@nthgth]

Haha, nice. I like that intake air and cabin air are the same air here but with different filtration systems that happen to be concurrent. Coolant is blood? Nah, oil is, and we're fully oil- and air-cooled. And oil-fueled. The radiator is skin. Stability control is the inner ear, and the ECU is the medulla.

[@medler2110]

I work as a transporter driver moving prestige and historic cars in covered trailers, quite often move cars for people who have collections of super and hypercars, the I find most of them are real petrolheads, care about their cars and drive them, although they don't tend to pop to the shops in one. but no doubt there are those rich kids who see them as nothing special and will get rid of them just to keep up with their peer group.

Trying to figure out why everyone loves Sandro when he doesn't say anything worth a damn, while Michael is over here explaining everything in a way a 5 year old would understand.

[@Telogor]

11:52 It's important to note that this is the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, which is the offroading variant. A normal Lamborghini would probably get totaled by a jump like that.

[@ulrickts]

My dream car is a 1980's-era Toyota Hilux with the Browning M2 and tripod trim.

[@nthgth]

Might be kinda hard to register that in places like California

[@donpepeho4534]

Some people can't afford to even maintain their expensive cars. Working at a Jiffy Lube when I was a teen, I changed oil and transmission fluid on a Viper and a few Porsches. Couldn't believe they wouldn't take it to the dealer

[@wilson2455]

pretty sure Bugatti's run a 'dry sump' with multiple oil tanks, filters & coolers for the 1000hp quad turbo V12 engine. Something like 5 hours for a oil change..

[@nthgth]

It's a V-16 But anyway, some people build engines with that power in their garages and they work great. _Without_ that immensely complicated oil setup.

[@Boules99]

Please bring Michael back. I could listen to him talk about this stuff all day.

[@dimasakbar7668]

Morale of the story: You like speed? You better be train-pilled or public urban transit in soul

[@leg-twitch]

as someone from dubai i can tell you that it is true that some people abandoned their cars to escape the debt payment this is certainly not one of them, this car is parked in front of i would say most probably a salvage yard or a scrap shop as you can see a Rolls-Royce in the back also collecting dust so my guess either a shell or it cant pass safety regulations for some reason. and for the abandoned cars the are usually towed to an impound then after a certain amount of time (3 months i guess) of no one claiming them they are sold off in an auction

[@JulesPerkins-e8q]

So when the rich Dubai boys come again??? The rich bois???.or rich rich Chevy or ford buys

[@douwevdw]

Oof.. that Ferrari at 11:56.. Bro was testdriving so he hasn't even bought the car yet. You break it you buy it 😂 Green plates in The Netherlands -> dealer/trader's plates

[@RoketEngineer]

Donut, you said and now you need to do it. Go to Dubai, grab a super car, ship to Cali, make it RUN.

[@nthgth]

I would totally be here for that video adventure

[@heikkiremes5661]

So happy I love 90's Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans. Not the fast ones, but the very unexceptional ones. Never really cared about supercars, sleepers are my thing.

[@nthgth]

💯 same. Plus anything with 8 cylinders and 3 pedals, most of which are _relatively_ affordable to buy and maintain. 80s to 2000s, same golden era as Japanese cars mostly

[@HONDA_CULTURE]

I been going to Miranda’s for about 8 years now. Solid ass work, thanks for fixing my rim
