The BMW i8 is the Prius of the supercar world... if you consider it a supercar. It has a carbon fiber chassis, doors that go up, insane good looks, but all of that is coupled with a hybrid system powered by a 3 cylinder range extender. Whether you think it's a supercar or not, I bought this one from ‪@RichRebuilds‬ because I've wanted one since I drove it 3 years ago!

The door struts are not expensive at all provided you replace them yourself. I did my own for about $100.00 each after the local BMW dealer quoted me $1,000.0 with installation. I think they are less than $100.00 now from FCP Euro. Pro tip: Have a friend hold the door up while you do it, or prop it up with something sturdy. I used a stick that I thought was strong enough, but when I removed the strut, the stick snapped and the door came down and whacked me on the head. Luckily, a padded part hit me so no damage done except that I felt like an idiot. I have had my i8 for 5 years now and still look forward to driving it. There is nothing else quite like it.

[@samhuntley344]

The banter😂 Rich took the man's camera! Everyone needs an uncle Rich crossover event

[@DuggleBogey]

Who else besides me wanted to see the Harbor Freight shopping trip?

[@scottcol23]

NGL I was looking forward to a trip to HF. It could have been great comedy. But we weren't invited I guess.

[@tony_25or6to4]

Probably weren't allowed to record in there.

[@lucaswl5692]

naw we don’t care

[@juiceplanet147]

You can record in HF.... some KZbinrs don't understand what retention means!

[@JK35280]

"Look at how clean these seats are - never farted in." Always a good selling point. 😂🤣

[@Cartier_specialist]

If the struts weren't bad something terrible would happen. So tell Rich thank you.

[@WatchJRGo]

True that, I’ll send a thank you note 😂

[@zenmark42]

yeah, the thing that's wrong with your car has to be visible and annoying or it doesn't work at keeping the other gremlins away.

A WatchJRGo video not dropping in the middle of the night - what is this sorcery?

[@sonofhalver]

You and Rich have a great banter for youtube. I'd watch you both knocking some hybrid back into life.

[@aftonline]

That i8 has history. Hopefully JR can fix whatever lurks inside that engine compartment.

[@brian5o]

I did not expect that. Congrats, JR. I love the i8 and I am glad this one is going to a great home.

[@Zundfolge]

And here I figured Hoovie would be the one to buy this.

[@StrangelyIronic]

5 minutes away, it might end up Hoovie's if he gets the urge to spend more money than he should for the inth time lol.

[@Czechbound]

Great back and forth there lads. Very funny. I *LOVE* how these cars look. Though Samcrac's experience gave us all pause for thought ...

[@phatcowboy76]

The C8 corvette ERay is a hybrid. Electric motor drives the front wheels. Engine in the rear of course. It's does zero to sixty in 2.5 secs. Low 10 sec quarter mile. It's very very quick. The i8 is also a mild performance hybrid.

[@organiccold]

Will not be a John Ross video without broken struts 😆. Good to see Rich around, and anyone that thinks a car that does 3.9sec 0-60 is slow, needs a brain check. No Chickens Involved in the recording of this video! 😂

[@mschmitz57]

Rich's videos are always a comedy sketch within a car video. I'm waiting for the punch line.

[@NormanStansfield1]

Ha ha. I was going to say it was bogus. Rich is a stranger!? Ha ha. Sketchy? I was hoping for more yo bro dialogue or some more really sketchy behavior. Ha ha. Aspiring rapper from Kansas! If Rich and his team fixed it then it is in good shape. I wish i would have bought it. Rich should try to find a wrecked i8 and put a gas powered BMW engine in it and pull out the hybrid stuff. I would love to see BMW do an i8 with one of their smaller V8 twin turbo engines. The i8 is mostly carbon fiber and with a twin turbo ICE it would scream.

[@blackcountryme]

I like rich, he was one of the first KZbinrs I started watching, when he was trying to get a broken Tesla to work. top bloke

[@jamesmccormack3229]

Such an unundertated car, awesome machine, love the i8.

[@bmc5108]

That is a beautifully sculpted car body. Saw one when they were introduced. Very cool.

[@stuartburgess2409]

Rich is sharp & needs to be with you on more collaborations , it's been said already but no Harbour freight trip, that'd been cool & funny with twin gold rapper ratchets 😂

[@supericeman1]

This is Awesome, JR never fails to amaze me with his purchases

[@starkyslp16]

i8 has always been cool. Still looks good to this day while being unique and futuristic but not in a tacky way. Super cheap for only $45k. I haven't watched much of Rich, but he's hilarious

Great purchase Rich is such a character, hilarious.

Now Rich can pay for Steven's Legal and medical bills....
