so true he cant say its stupid till its sold and lost money imo. pretty sure he still has it!? and if he sells in 10+ yrs i dont think he'll lose a cent.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

Well you figure he was going to EV swap it, the paints shot, the bodywork was ruined, he had to spend a ton of money to get it right, so it was a failure in that sense, granted in 6 months time he might not think that, as you forget he has the RS up there getting worked over right now and we havent seen the targa in a while neither actually he's kinda gonna have atleast three generations of 911 by the time he's done, two of which were basket case hoopties and another was a super custom with a 930 widowmaker turbo engine in it.

[@rustler08]

It was stupid, because for the price he could have had a nice one. "Breathing Life" into a piece of junk for the same price as a good one is stupid, and the only reason he did it is because it makes money on KZbin. If you did this on your own without YT supplementing, you're wasting money and he's absolutely right.

[@jesper1406]

From a financial standpoint, as you could have had a nice one for the same price, it was stupid. But a nice example wouldn't have generated as much views on KZbin. So not a bad decision after all...

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

One of my former coworkers had one of those Benz Diesel SUV’s, for whatever reason he had the rear bumper cover off, and while it was off he noticed the factory trailer hitch support beam was NOT WELDED on one side to the plate that bolt the beam to the main SUV’s frame. Luckily he never towed anything substantial with it prior to noticing the major, potentially fatal, manufacturing flaw. Luckily we are both pipe fitters and plumbers, so welding it together wasn’t an issue, but to find something like that on a car is terrifying to me.

The E63 AMG brings back memories. In 2010 I was stationed in Germany and had to go to Stuttgart. On the way back I had my 2010 Grand Caravan opened wide up doing about 100mph when I hear this high pitched motor scream and glance up to see a Lamborghini Gallardo fly by like I was standing still (perhaps 150 mph). While watching that beautiful rear end disappearing into the distance I hear a low pitched guttural roar and glanced in the mirror just in time to nearly get my doors blown off by an E63 that was chasing down the Lambo. Yeah, good times.

I think that Lebaron video is what brought me to this channel. So it wasn't that bad a buy. What amuses me is these expensive cars that quit on you and some of them are absolute junk, while here I have an '88 Chevy van and a '93 GMC truck, both TBI, both sat like five years, the truck rusty as all get out, the GMC fired right up with a hot battery. The van didn't want to fire in the cold, so I dumped some fuel system cleaner down it, let it sit, and on a warmer day with a shot of ether away it went. I think with fresh gas it would be as reliable as ever. Both need some attention to the brakes though.

[@Zundfolge]

I don't think the 911SC was a dumb purchase ... it may not have been a super smart investment, but you've got an awful nice 911 now. Honestly out of all of the cars you bought this year, its the one I'd probably take if you were giving them all away. But then look at my name :p

The starter is why it would not start for Hoovie as it would not turn over fast enough. Finally gave up completely.
