Make a ball shape at one end of the rag and wet it with the paint.

My first thought when I saw the “this is better than a minivan!” video was that a windshield replacement probably costs more than my Honda Odyssey… and I feel pretty confident that it is.

[@wingracer1614]

Maybe, maybe not. I used to be in the glass business and yes, many low volume exotics like this had very hard to find and very expensive windshields. But not only are such windshields expensive to replace, they are expensive to have manufactured so when they can, they will use an off the shelf windshield from an existing model. This may very well have a standard Merc windshield you can get from any glass supplier for a couple hundred bucks. Or it may be a bespoke item now unobtainable and you would have to track down the one warehouse somewhere that had the sense to buy a whole crate of them before they stopped production and would be happy to ship one to you, for a couple grand of course. The real expense will probably be those door glasses as those are probably bespoke items. Possibly the backglass as well since even standard Mercs tend to have very expensive backglasses.

Ñice looking car Hoovie. To me it looks nicer than the mean looking new Rolls. Kids and luxury cars don't mix. I remember selling my Daimler sovereign in the 70's because I could not stand what my 3 daughters were doing to it in the rear. The old E Type straight 6 engine on the bench is tall because it is a long stroke. This motor in its time was very fast but could cruise at high speeds for 24 hours at low revs. I love this motor and the modern version AJ16 would be good enough for me in the Maybach. So many modern cars are over engineered but the luxury cars are even worse and most of it is for status. By the way I would only put this car up on a four post. The weight balance of such a long car could be a big problem on a two post. Lift it only 6" and try to tip it before you lift it further.

I'm 20 seconds in this video and it's already weird. Love Wizard 😂😂😂

[@nekite1]

The Wizard is always really funny on Hoovies' videos! As a Brit, thank you Wizard for your service.

[@dannysublett1014]

I love the 456. Yes it does remind me of a Probe and that's one of the reasons why I like it.

[@michaelangeleri4633]

I’m excited to see what the third car is! I’m hoping it’s the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle “Herbie” Re-Creation he showed in the video when he was at Barrett Jackson Houston!

[@bobbinbob]

Kudos for flying a drone through the rear door openings 😂😂

[@rubenbraekman4515]

The price of the alternator is the price of my car lmao

[@mjmikaelson]

The partition and the curtains make this car so awesome!

[@thomasallen6980]

It is not a house, it is a grocery getter.

[@ivannarvaez367]

The sound of the 456! I love it!

[@TRDOffRoad2020]

I bet the wiring skematics for that car are very user friendly 😎

[@alexbrown1995]

Volumes 1-23......

[@johnsonrepp]

The alternator is water cooled. I just had mine rebuilt instead of buying a new one.

[@mangore623]

“Okay, I’m ready.” The Wizard is the perfect comedic foil. These two are hilarious together.

7:30 I love you man for saying that - That „Grosser“ in London Episode burned into my mind, too!! 🎉😂

I will forever be indebted to you, you’ve changed my whole life, I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear. You’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thank you so much Mr Abbreu John

[@adrianyates9879]

Mr Abbreu John changed my life, he has been amazing, ever since I met him, my life took a positive turn because of the passive income through him, he really is a professional trader and awesome person

You can hear the fear in Tyler’s voice during the inspection 😂😂😂

[@619guy202]

Well yeah they both went under a car with no jack stands…..

[@23ofSeptember]

I remember Sex and the City 2 had these 62 Maybachs. I had never heard of a Maybach before that movie.

[@umbertoyltp]

Those Amtrak horns sure draw some attention! The Car Wizard's face was priceless for the first few seconds.

[@nathanadams1332]

Wizard: "we just need the extra 6 inches". Don't we all

[@will89687]

Then Hoovie goes for a crotch shot of the Wizard...

[@Life_and_Love]

I bet it would look so much better with the updated wheels on it.

[@davidroth231]

Nice video, thanks Hoovie!

[@herculesrockefeller8969]

Good luck, Hoovie! 🙂

[@neeko460]

Wish we knew the history of this car. I bet the previous owner was an interesting person!

[@wingracer1614]

Hoovie talks about that in the first video. Some sort of business owner in Houston if I remember correctly.

[@mobster2]

The fly on hoovie's shoulder at 5:50 is classic 😂

[@akashchahal5894]

came to the comments to see if anyone else saw it😂

[@619guy202]

It’s full of cockroaches 🪳 lol

[@gunnarmh]

This is such a genuine fun video

[@JeeperZJ]

lol, all i gotta say is you got a GOOD deal deal on some of these parts. Maybe mercedes is making more of these parts but last time we quoted an alternator for a maybach 57 it was approx $20,000 and the last COMAND unit we quoted ended up coming in at $40,000.....which is quite ridiculous to say the least. I've been "fortunate" enough to get to work on/drive a few 57's and just being in the car is an experience.
