My Mustang GT is Officially Totaled...

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks for all the support guys, no matter what I do next.

[@frjhracing]

on smurf, since it was rear ended - check the harness that powers the rear license plate illumination for short to ground (if the radio doesnt show any change). You really need to get a multi meter on there and measure the amp draw as you unplug/plug different stuff for parasitics like that.

Same here. Altima drivers piss me off

[@americansmark]

Also a trucker, but I'd say it's altimas second behind diesel pickup owners. They weave in and out of traffic, blow lights, and pay no attention to other vehicles in their blind spots. And it's not the brodozers doing it. It's the work trucks driven by middle aged men.

[@Virgorilla]

@americansmark I'm limited at 65 so I don't see them too much. They fly right on by me.

[@genericsomething]

The other day, I saw an Altima blatantly run a red light. We were in the same lane approaching the red. I saw the white Altima, with a chunk taken out of the front bumper, in my rear-view, then pass me as I was braking for the yellow light. The Altima tapped the brakes when the light turned red, then proceeded to power through it. When I got home, I wrote "dash cam" on my shopping list.

[@saltybutsain6348]

Same thing happened to me at the end of february, I know your pain. I had a 2008 vw rabbit that I bought at the end of january last year. I put almost every hour of free time I had into that car. Redid the interior, fixed a ton of random crap. I got a short runner intake manifold, catback exhaust, stiffer motor mounts, coil-overs, some Audi wheels, and some cosmetic things. I was my first car, and I fell in love with it, the five cylinder in that car is literally the best sounding motor I have heard, and the N/A induction noises with the short runner manifold were intoxicating. I went to so many meets, kept up with cars that I had absolutely no right to with 210hp and no turbo. It was so much fun. I drove that car every single day. I had plans to put in a built six speed and turbo it, but now that will never happen, all because someone rear ended me. All the time and money that I put into that car, gone. Right when I was at a point where I was content too, I had fixed just about every problem on the car, and gotten all the mods I wanted, then this idiot in an old beat up Sentra rear ends me at a light. It really is making me asking myself if modding cars is worth it, all of this commitment, just to get it taken away because of someone else's incompetence. And now I am left without my car, and like half the money that I put into it. I hope things get better for you and you end up getting something positive out of this whole conundrum. I have loved your channel ever since I found it, when I found out you started out in VB I became an instant fan lol.

"like half the money that I put into it." Yeah .. that is a tough lesson. Peeps shouldn't put *all* their $$$ and love into a car. Enjoy it - but realize it can all be *gone* in an instant. Sadly, you can not control all the other people on the road.

I can relate my dude. Last December on my birthday, some lady rear ended my parked SS 1LE Camaro in front of my friends house and totaled it. Felt lost af. The car market right now is so weird and awkward, it takes a lot of soul searching and convincing to figure out what to get if youre not up for another project car. Ended up with something COMPLETELY different with a 8Y RS3 because comfy small 5 cylinder sedan is perfect (dual clutch is admittedly a lot more interesting than I thought it would be, but nothing compared to a manual). Really expensive, but perhaps an EU car could be a neat change of pace? If not, I really think a S650 (perhaps a Dark Horse!) could be right up your alley and feel like an "upgrade" from Sub Zero. Regardless, godspeed dude.

I really hope your luck turns around david! As for what car should be next, I really thing focusing on something that is relatable to people is important. I have been recently watching gingium's short series about turbo charging his honda fit and let me tell you, something about that being somewhat attainable for myself just makes it that more interesting. I think the next car should be something the average car enthusiast doesn't immediately think of but still respects and finds interesting. List: Honda CRV (1st or 2nd gen). Maybe some sort of challenge where you spend the least amount of money to beat some important super car of the 2000's in a drag race, say a lamborghini gallardo. Toyota Camry with the 2gr-fe aka the lotus evora engine. A series on supercharging that puppy would be sick and also I think surprising enough, "super car engine in camry", to get some clicks. Plus they sound sweet. Honda insight (1st gen). How cool would it be to swap in a motorcycle engine in this thing! Sound good and get good mpg. I'm sure there is more cars, but yeah. Again, hope stuff gets better 🙏

I learned to drive in my dad's Altima, but he sold it soon afterwards, so maybe I didn't give the Big Altima Energy enough time to infect me lmao Kinda hilarious personal anecdote aside, It's really sad to see you saying good bye to your Mustang.

Hang in there dude, we'll be here when you're back up and running. Sad about the Mustang but there are a bunch of great DD's that you can pick from when you are ready.

you're taking this better than I would that other driver would be in a chair or coma if I was in your shoes. But I would not get rid of that mustang keep it for spare parts or take a chain wrap it around a tree then around the trunk and get a com along and chain the front and start cranking you could straighten that frame back easily with the right tension and possibly some heat.

I'll be sad to see the integra go. I still go back and rewatch the build series over and over, it's been good motivation to work on mine. And the baltic blue ironically enough I considered painting mine well before I saw the series, I fell in love with that color when I was looking at getting an SC300. So that car's been my favorite for a long time

I have watched your past videos on the mk1 audi tt, what about doing a video with another mk1 or the other generations. Maybe even a mk3 ttrs? I have enjoyed watching all your videos and the effort you put into them.

Please do an S650 when the time comes. I'm actually in love with them and I think it would be a solid successor to the S550. Hope things get better moving forward. Hopefully after some time we can see the miata build moving forward.

Life is boring when it is too simple and nothing to remember in the future. It can be hard now but you gonna get it sorted, look back and notice how stronger you are now and how easier you can manage the next problem. Good luck!
