The owner of that Mitsubishi was named Noah and he referred to his car as his Ark. Noah bought his tires 2 by 2, usually right before a REALLY big rain. I also happen to know Noah was into animal rescue. He’s actually quite famous!

It’s cool that you found one of those monteros ! I’ve always loved those because my dad had a few so I came to like them as well , a lot of people don’t know about them but they are pretty underrated , sucks that one is pretty much toateled cuz of that engine

That brown late 80s G20 Conversion van is nice next to black dirty Cadillac Escalade.

Mike's been saying "I need something to tow with" for so long that it has just become a catch-phrase now. That Escalade is on its last leg and Mitsu needs a new engine,so I would have to say we struck out this trip.

Hi Mike I like the Montero and the Caddy 👍
@dannyvdstreek8 ай бұрын
Nice to see a Montero. I drive the european version, called the Pajero with a 3.2 Diesel. Great trailer hauler and capable off roader. Sadly you didn't get the diesel version in the US, apart from the diesel pump issues, they are great engines.

I bought a 2011 Escalade Esv a few months ago for cheap with the same sound. Turned out to be an AFM collapsed lifter. It's in a machine shop now getting rebuilt with AFM delete. I had emailed Randy about it. So yeah Mike its much deeper than an oil change 😅

That Escalade with a flashlight engine light was probably due to an active misfire.. needs a engine.. and probably the transmission an differential was never serviced.. wait for a better one to pop up

Please start caring more about the milage, anything north of 120,000 you should leave well alone. Both these today.. I like the ford ranger personality for towing & all that nice room at the back too. Or how about a land rover, defender etc. If you spot anything in there low mileage that needs some engine or body work I think you should start focusing on getting them and flipping them for maximum resale value. The low mileage premium.
