How I Fixed My Lexus LS430 With A Cotter Pin And A Football!!

[@dgpaliza]

Watching the football fix the door dent was so satisfying. Great job Mike!

[@darylkik777]

Actually its not the Lexus or any car that keep many of us coming back over and over. Its you Mike and your personality. From: Your far away fan in Wichita. lol

There is not much Lexus content, yet we love them. So happy you decided to post this up.

[@jondavis70]

Love my Lexus GS350! You really got a deal on that LS. I also owned a black ‘92 900 turbo 3-door back in the day, and a ‘97 Mercedes S500. You’ve got great taste.

[@jackcrisci2957]

Watching the football trick is nothing short of impressive. Good on you for giving this Lexus some needed love!

[@edwardtc8129]

Excellent work Mike. The LS430 is still to this day my favourite model they have made. Simply stunning styling in my opinion

[@LSnium]

Imma be honest with you Mike, you vs Randy I watch you more because you are into normal people cars and older stuff most of us know and can afford, Randy just buys expensive electric cars and new stuff you see everywhere on the road, nothing special. And you Mike have a really cool attitude and are very lively. Sitting here watching you on my lunch break in my 1990 Lexus LS400 😁.

[@bobbyr8071]

Awesome content Mike. So much better than that auto auction rebuilds guy who is always trying to show off and compensate for his insecurities.

A Lexus will "break" just like any other car. Great fix on the door mirrors!

[@DavidSmith-bt6qe]

I also found you because of the Lexus. I am an old man (78) and I wanted an LS 430 Lexus for over three years and I finally found one in decent shape within 50 miles of me and I went and looked at it and bought it. I had to pay a lot more for mine than you did ($11,700.00) out the door price but, I did not have to do any body work but under body needed some work that totaled to just over $5,600.00. I now own a $16,000.00 2006 Lexus LS430 and I love it. I was looking at buying a 2002 Kia Telluride but when I found out they would not come with a CD changer or even just a CD player from the factory I decided I would not be interested in the KIA Telluride afterall. This Lexus may have some years and miles on it (164,610 today) but, it is the best car I have ever owned.

[@rustysuperbeetle3064]

What an excellent idea with the football to get that dent out of that door! Amazing job on the mirror as well with the cotton pin.

[@stumleee]

Cameraman Mike is getting better by the minute 🪿

[@davidkinson6610]

Great purchase Mike. About time you bought a Lexus to the channel.

[@locotrucker46]

Lexus cars are so awesome and reliable and almost trouble free. They're just as nice as a Mercedes and way less troublesome.

[@garyashdown5376]

Hi Mike, as they say , variety is the spice of life 😊 , now have you ever thought of heating the dent. Probably the best way is boiling water, pour over the panel getting it hot, while it's still hot use the football and inflate. By being hot the metal gets all excited and it's memory comes into play, so when you inflate the ball the metal becomes more eager to spring back into shape. Keep up the good work chuckles. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@GodsGunsGlory777]

I own a 09 is250 and I love all the 275xxx miles that it has. Served me so well for the 10 years I’ve owned it.

[@diegocalderonneco]

Well done Mike. Love that car coming back to life

Good job Mike. That Lexus LS 430 looks good on you 😎😎👍👍 Excellent job 💯💯

[@1995RangeRover]

430's are superb!! Great vid my friend!!

[@lorddiablo8575]

Its my 1st time watching pop-up a dent with a football in video, though I heard this method long time ago. Good Job, Mike ! 👍👍

[@robertvance1873]

Good Job 👍 Mike The Mirror looks tricky.

[@freddycastillo7841]

Mike, I love the videos you're making with this Lexus model. I'd like you to leave it as good as possible mechanically and aesthetically. Ideally, after you put new tires on it, you'd do a complete detailing.

[@MikeInBendOregon]

That's cool you got the mirrors fixed. Nice easy fix, and cheap too...The dent in the door definitely looks better.

[@nedear88]

Kudos to the mirror fix contents👋👋, the football trick is very awesome, you will be appreciated once it fixed up and running, I enjoyed driving every time on my 2005 Modern Luxury with barely over 137k+ miles on it. I spent 2+ years to find my LS430 from the local Lexus dealership back in 2016 that had only 2 previous owners and 86k+miles. Keep up posting more contents about your LS430. 👍👍

[@nayyeriqbal7142]

Always enjoyed watching all your content Sir . Love the road trips with Mr Randy and u . Oh that was always a pleasure and enjoyment. Thank you Big time both of you for making such a good content for us day In and out. Stay blessed Mr Mike

[@ianmitchell1594]

Congratulations on passing 60k Mike 🎉keep up the great work 👍

[@steveosgood9182]

People watch Lexus videos like this because they are such quality cars that last a long time. Some models have a cult following. You may not have drivetrain problems to fix, but there will be other things to attend to. You and Randy looked at a high mileage Lexus GX about a year ago, and Randy said nothing goes wrong with them so video views would be low. But as you can see, you can get video views. Would I get an old Mercedes ?, probably not for most models, or how about an old BMW, probably not again. An old Lexus? Heck yeah I would.

[@shawongarrett5506]

The Lexus is looking better Mike. Keep it going

[@805NAVE]

[@andrewmaina5449]

I thought you were joking when you said that you're going to use football to pop the door out😂😂😂much love from KENYA 🇰🇪 EAST AFRICA

[@jefnf]

Should have tapped down those high spots with a light weight rubber hammer while the football was inflated. Or lightweight hammer with soft rag around it. That would have set the rest of the dent in place

Hey Mike! So glad you finally got a Lexus! And you got one of the best Lexus models ever made and for many one of the best luxury sedans ever built! Like the Mercedes 126 the W140 these cars were so over engineered and in my opinion even better built. While unlike its German rival there is t as much to fix love love watching you getting this amazing car back to its former glory for someone to love and enjoy
