James is like a politician. So many people said not to sell the Countach so he's decided not to sell it even though the reason he stated for wanting to sell it made perfect sense. The car does nothing for the channel but selling it would get everything he wanted to get done on the house done and would make a world of difference for the channel with an amazing Batcave finished.

I disagree. Strad has built his channel around lamborghinis and him owning all the flagship models is something that the majority of his viewers look forward to. Lamborghini Countach is only going up in value, especially the white on white model he has, so it doesn't make any sense to sell it. Batcave is a "cool" idea, but it wouldn't do much for his channel because he already has a GTA style looking garage that gives amazing overview of his collection. Even when batcave is ready, it wont get many use because it seems like a pain in the ass to store cars there and it takes away the wow factor when he films in his main garage. Not to mention that the batcave and car on the wall is another massive moneysink for the house

@@whaaa507 But it's still a car that he himself said he drives 10 times a year so really it does nothing to help the youtube channel. You might think the Indy car on the wall is dumb but I think it would be cool to walk by daily. Same with the Batcave that he talked about for over a year as something that would be so cool. You said his garage is already GTA style looking but he has to move cars out to get to some cars when he has a Batcave that would make it even more GTA looking with cool lights. And by finishing that he could have space between cars in the main garage and he'd never have to move a car out to drive a car. You said his house is a money pit for a better word but here is the thing about that. If the house isn't finished it is worth way less than if he finishes the house.

James, the tint was a ceramic film for heat. Houston probably put it on being in Vegas to block the IR heat while driving. Also, never heat the front windshield, if you get it too hot it will crack. Use a wallpaper steamer and it will get the tint off with all the adhesive. Or leave it out in the sun for an hour and peel. (I own a tint shop)
@ThePursuit83Ай бұрын
It’s blue because it is a ceramic based film. The clear ceramic film helps reduce heat induction and protects you from UV damage. You probably should’ve left it on. However, if you ever happen to be in Georgia with that car. I can put a completely completely clear Graphene film on there that does not leave the blue Hugh and gives you more protection than the Ceramic
