Go out there, buy the cheapest piece of shit E36 compact that passed inspection and go crazy with it. Thats what they did in Japan 20 years ago to those Corollas you love so much now. Underground culture is the same as always, you just aspire for ancient shiboxes that rich fucks turned into trophies on wheels. Make your own underground culture, theres tons of cool cars out there within that price range. Get something thats not completely rotten and hammer away, until your project car becomes cooler than that shitty Integra some generic collect paid 80k for. Underground culture is alive and well, but it needs YOU to carry the legacy. Buy a shitbox and make it yours, make it special! You dont need an AE86 to be the cool.

I bet Saab 9-5's are going to increase in price in the future as well due to how odd that car is. The 2010 generation MazdaSpeed 3 I guess is also going to go up in price if it hasn't already due to it being one of the last analogue hot hatches without a bunch of diffs and electronic gizmos in there.

Hey Donut, i love your equipment testing vids, what about if you do test on motorcycle gear. Jackets, gloves or helmets, anything. Can you do the test between cheap vs expensive. Riders need some content too :)

[@know-body2519]

Different channels! This is car stuff, that's why WE watch it for the CAR STUFF!

[@igork9691]

@@know-body2519 no its not, look older vids, you have trucks, bikes, tools, physics, anything related to motorsport...

[@know-body2519]

Let me rephrase, I won't watch Donut Media vids on anything involving less than 4 wheels. & if they keep calling Mustang LXs "GTs", I will stop all together.

[@igork9691]

I distinctly remember an early ‘90’s NSX for sale asking $25k about 20 years ago. I still kick myself for not grabbing it.

[@user60521123]

I like this game. It’s fun! Also, the ad at the end of the video is awesomely ridiculous. Very funny!

[@G59METH]

BRO WHAT I JUST GOOGLED JAMES AGE AND HE IS 37??? I THOUGHT HE WAS 30 AT MOST

[@MegaRobbieDobbie]

Oof. To be in the financial position I'm in now, 20 years ago........I'd have had alot more "cool" cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Donut crew!

[@JDSol]

Hey love the videos! But I have to say... Cars are too damn expensive I'm gonna have to do some shady stuff to get what I want now

[@SuperSucc69]

Well, you only need 1 kidney and part of your liver to survive, so technically....

[@williamhawley6579]

This was a clever change up but it’s safe to say we ALL miss your old videos! Y’all are awesome and I know you have a lot of people to pay but I think you could bring back the old ways in full swing and people would LOVE it. We love you. We miss you as you were boys seemed more fun for y’all anyway

[@carsandkicks]

Shoutout to whoever came up with this sick original video idea

[@DG_427]

I had GTS-T R33 8 years ago, paid 6000 euros for it. Now the prices are over 25,000 euros. 😢

[@maxwellquigley6101]

I’ve been watching KZbin videos for 18 years and this is the very first channel I have ever subscribed to. It took me thinking I had to subscribe to leave a comment to commit to that! I wouldn’t ever regret it, I love the content you guys produce. You make it entertaining for those who know about cars and even more so for those who don’t (I’m in the middle and the Donut Media channel helped me commit to my passion which is working on cars). You guys will always have my love and respect, follow your passion and others will feel confident enough to follow theirs! Once they find MO POWA BABEEHH!!! 🍩😈😎

[@isaaclanier1507]

Agree with everything you say. But you don’t have to subscribe to comment lol

I bought my literally mint condition 91 240sx hatch back in 2012 for 900 running, bone stock, never drifted, uncracked dash, still had all interior pieces and nothing was broken, manual also.

[@Vok250]

I'm still kicking myself for not importing an S15 Spec R or R34 GTR into Canada back in 2010. You don't want to know how cheap it was back then.

[@Ikuorai]

Please do more of these. It hurts.

[@getfitzd]

My only issue is that people go by KBB when pricing their cars now and days. When people search for their value of the car, they click on excellent when in fact the frame is falling apart or theres a rust spot the size of texas on the rear quarter panel. Normally in some situations, yeah lower milage and car in good shape you can get away with.

[@23ofSeptember]

I actually bought a 1990 964 Porsche C2 manual with 90k on ebay in 2008 for $15k, sent the seller a check, but then backed out because I didn't have a stable job. During the financial crisis (2007-2011) era you could get almost any car for under 25k.

[@brandonnufer3670]

I remember being 16 in highschool and buying my first car, 1994 Catfish Camaro Iroc Blue paint. All of those cars that were mentioned are ones i wanted bad, but i was to broke for any of them. Finally turned 19 and bought my Mitsubishi 3000gt for like 3000 dollars. I knew all the cars were gunna be worth alot soon, i just didnt have enough money back then, or the knowledge to work on them. Once the 3000gt broke and i couldnt pay to get it fixed, i sold it and started to learn to work on cars. Now that i know how to work on them, I cant afford any of the cars anymore because theyre all going for 15 to 30 k

[@bsti112590]

My biggest automotive regret is passing on a Mk. IV Supra that a local dealer had listed for $7600. Not $76k, $7600. This was in 2011.

[@atticusspontaneous]

Very interesting. Good choices for the guys.

This video made me more angry at how ridiculous used car prices are right now. Thanks a lot fellas!

I remember my family had a mitsubishi Galant VR4 when i was 4-5yo i really liked that car but never knew what its capable of and the history of it in WRC. Parents sold it for $3k USD

I bought my S13 in 2001 for $1,200 shiny original paint, no rust, no dents, 5spd, cold A/C those days are long gone:(

[@Murgledoo]

Not a single Impreza from NASIOC? Don’t sleep on that forum in the early 00’s, it was a wild place 😆

[@mantelmann13]

I bought my 200SX S13 in 2007 for a little over $2000. 55k miles, accident-free and no tuning at all, all original. Nowadays I would get 20k for this car. Unfortunately I sold it a few years ago. :) Still dreaming about it. It's haunting me.

[@80PercentAshamedOfU]

I paid $2k for my running and driving E36 328 two years ago. Non-Ms are going for $6-8k these days. I can’t imagine 10 years ago.

[@rubikdrummer1]

Duuude that ad was hilarious! Keep it cummin with the ads

[@hopefulllee4519]

Well part of the reason these cars are worth more now is that they are so much rarer. I would say almost all those cars are scraped now, due to use, accidents, rust…
