00:04
hello and welcome to this
00:07
carpod I'm filipo I'm Nick because Kenan
00:10
isn't here today very sad but we have
00:14
Nick instead he's got some car updates
00:16
for us and some other things and we got
00:17
a lot of car to talk about so let's go
00:21
should we get started with the S Nick
00:24
tell us about this all right so man
00:26
sarry and that's actually how it's
00:28
pronounced it's man the pause I think is
00:30
optional then sorry man sorryi has the
00:33
new Ferrari SUV should be sorry so I get
00:36
it and I've actually I've been digging
00:38
deep into this because as a car
00:39
Enthusiast I've spent a lot of time
00:42
wondering who's buying this stuff Doug's
00:46
great you won't not say man sorry okay
00:49
the Genesis of this is the Instagram
00:52
worst spec you know there's all these
00:54
people like oh your Speck is so great
00:56
nice spec yeah but there's an Instagram
00:58
called wor spec that looks at the worst
01:00
specs yeah I love this account it's one
01:02
of the great Instagrams and he refers to
01:05
Manser the company that makes horrible
01:07
body kits only as manari and Okla that
01:11
is how Mr mansari himself pronounces it
01:14
you're kidding I'm dead serious that is
01:17
how they pronounce it in Amsterdam or
01:19
wherever they're from well he should be
01:20
saying man sorry for this one this is
01:23
the ugliest thing I have seen in my life
01:25
do you agree it's what is your Deep dive
01:28
in the Deep dive is that's the point it
01:31
is supposed to be an entous display of
01:34
wealth so the uglier and more obnoxious
01:36
they make it the more distinct it is and
01:39
therefore when you were in Monaco trying
01:40
to flex on everyone that else has a
01:42
purong way there's no mistaking that you
01:44
paid $400,000 extra for the ugly version
01:47
you don't see a lot of them Monaco you
01:48
see them in the Middle East wherever
01:50
you're seeing them where that's the
01:52
point if it were subtle no one would
01:54
know that you spent double the cars
01:55
value on theost they are incredibly
01:58
expensive I will news though it has like
02:00
five more horsepower yep oh Little tune
02:03
little tun ex I think it's just a flex
02:06
on your buddies so the Matt Armstrong
02:09
rebuilt Marcus rashford's wraith and I'm
02:13
messing up all the names there but he
02:15
detailed the parts and it was like a
02:18
$1,300 a man sorry badge the hood would
02:20
be $144,000 like everything is
02:23
exorbitantly expensive but that is the
02:25
point is the company just kind of making
02:27
fun of their C like do you understand
02:28
what I'm saying like if if the point to
02:30
be over the toop ostentatious and
02:31
ridiculous like at some point are you
02:33
just making fun of it's a good question
02:35
people yes like do they exist to make
02:39
fun of their customers what does Mr
02:41
manery Drive himself uh that the
02:44
question Expos that but he's got a long
02:46
flowing white beard and a uh kind of
02:49
looks like a wizard but he's he's a
02:51
character he was uh had a lot of cush
02:54
words in the most recent Matt video but
02:56
um I will say he's like European so this
02:58
is the manari version of the Ferrari SUV
03:01
the P you know what this looks like is
03:02
the Juke R remember the Juke R the Juke
03:04
R was tasteful theuk tasteful it's got a
03:07
lot of can I would like to go to a photo
03:09
of the of the rear because we don't have
03:14
manery rear sorry spelled it right only
03:17
one R despite the pronunciation oh man
03:20
this is just aggressively bad so the
03:22
whole point is to be even shower than
03:25
like whatever like an Avent if if in
03:27
your community Aventadors are common you
03:30
get a man sorry event Ator the pator and
03:33
and it's not that he's trolling his
03:35
customers his customers are looking for
03:37
this so he's found a need and they're
03:39
filling that need and I will say the
03:41
craftsmanship actually appears to be
03:43
well in terms of like the fit and finish
03:44
like it doesn't look I agree with that
03:47
it always seems like it's it's not like
03:48
a cheap like body kit that's falling off
03:50
at 350Z and it's the interior they
03:52
reupholster every inch of the inside
03:55
like really they go all out but it is
03:56
hundreds of thousands of dollars that
03:58
you spend on top of the purchase price
03:59
agree that it makes it uglier I would
04:02
never do this in a million I wouldn't
04:03
buy the perang way to begin with but and
04:07
if Nick wouldn't do it imagine it man
04:09
sari all over the seat belts go back up
04:11
go back up man sari all over the look at
04:13
that Lit man sari on the seat man sarry
04:16
in the in the you saw what they're
04:17
calling this right the Pug natator the
04:20
what the pug natator pug natator
04:24
yikes yikes what other doesn't work what
04:27
other man's sories are there go back up
04:31
oh man they got a they got a whole wait
04:33
wait go I want to see the vesa oh man
04:36
911 Carrera facelift you want to see the
04:38
best these aren't so
04:41
bad the Golden Age of cars aka the 9s
04:44
and you had wings West Civics right the
04:47
idea again was to be like a Transformer
04:49
and look as different and wild as
04:51
possible right that's a design ethos
04:53
it's not for us but for the right typ
04:56
names they may have made the XM look
04:57
good the XM looks about the same
04:59
chopster that looks like a Cayenne that
05:01
is a Cayenne you want the chopster their
05:04
website has had some TR troubles here
05:06
and there yikes on a stick well that is
05:09
man sorry and man are we sorry we had to
05:13
look at that how many times you want to
05:14
make the joke you got to come up with
05:16
something more creative I love it the
05:17
dude named his company like what we
05:20
think you know it it would be like it
05:22
would be like I we'll have to think of
05:24
something yeah all right we we'll put
05:25
some thought to it okay next news story
05:28
there is a ketchup situation fipo tell
05:30
us uh yeah Volkswagen for some reason is
05:33
giving you bottles of ketchup when you
05:35
buy specific cars okay which cars and
05:37
why the why we will never understand no
05:40
it has something to do with they serve
05:41
this ketchup in their Factory or
05:43
something it's something made near their
05:45
Factory I I to be honest this is your
05:47
news story I I all I know is that
05:49
there's a press photo with a jeda GLI
05:53
with a tomato stem and a bottle of
05:55
ketchup all that's all I know this
05:56
ketchup is served in their factories to
05:58
their Factory workers and a apparently
05:59
we are supposed to know that and so now
06:02
they're serving it uh with cars you
06:04
could actually get it for free through
06:06
their parts catalog for a bit that's
06:07
what it is no way so you didn't have to
06:09
buy a car it's back now now you can get
06:12
it for free through their parts catalog
06:13
again and and uh not to make this
06:15
political but you have the shrink
06:16
flation movement it used to be you buy a
06:18
Jetta you get a pair of K2 Skis or a
06:20
Trek mountain bike now we're catch up I
06:22
mean come on are you just going to do
06:24
the '90s is this going to be a 90s
06:26
podcast that was the Jetta 3
06:29
well the 1996 the Trek Edition was a
06:32
great Edition somehow it's what they all
06:34
are this is 30 years ago he's it was a
06:37
great Edition green you know true story
06:38
about that my friend's dad owned a VW
06:41
dealer and for Christmas he took some of
06:43
the skis away from one of the vehicles
06:45
wrapped it and put it under the tree and
06:47
that's what he got for Christmas you
06:48
know speaking of '90s Volkswagen should
06:50
we talk harleyquinn for a second o pull
06:53
up a picture of a golf Harley Quinn love
06:54
those you know that you know how they
06:56
made them yeah of course different
06:58
panels from different cars right they
06:59
assembled it that's exactly right the
07:01
golf Harlequin was made Volkswagen for a
07:03
while sold this this multicolored car
07:05
there were four colors the color of the
07:07
car is the color the yellow it's the the
07:09
base color that can't really be changed
07:11
and so they would make it they made a
07:12
hundred of each in their Factory and
07:14
then when the car was built they
07:17
unscrewed the panels and I mean it was
07:18
way easier than trying to paint each
07:20
panel obviously right they unscrewed the
07:21
panels and they all had and and each car
07:23
had a thing like every yellow car had a
07:24
blue door like they all had place they
07:26
were supposed to go here's a story for
07:27
you in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics the
07:30
golf Harlequin was like the car it was
07:32
like drove around the athletes there
07:34
were like dozens of them and at the end
07:35
of the Olympics the golf Harlequin went
07:37
to the local Volkswagen dealership in
07:40
Atlanta and I knew the people who worked
07:42
there and they told me that after that
07:43
they had four or five of them left on
07:45
their lot like a year later nobody won
07:47
this multicolored Golf and so one night
07:50
they swapped him back they took it
07:52
back cuz it was the only way to sell
07:54
this track was there no special badging
07:56
or anything to say like harle there was
07:58
the interior you think you need a
08:00
you I'm sure you could a little fish
08:01
wire you could take it off the interior
08:03
had this multicolor pattern which was
08:05
only on the harlequins they did a polar
08:06
Harlequin in Europe too I think it's the
08:08
coolest thing in the world but at the
08:09
time you could see that maybe you
08:10
wouldn't want to spend like 25 Grand on
08:13
a rainbow you know the biggest highlight
08:16
here is they sold the golf in great
08:17
colors now it's the was not offered in
08:20
these colors only the harle Quinn was
08:21
offered I think one of these colors was
08:23
on the golf but the rest of them were
08:25
all to the Harley Quinn like chagal blue
08:28
I don't remember the color names all do
08:29
we have it in ginst yellow ginster
08:32
yellow Bas okay that's your green
08:34
tornado red shagal blue well done anyway
08:37
back to the ketchup Volkswagen does
08:38
weird things and now they're offering
08:40
ketchup and unfortunately you cannot get
08:41
a Jetta with a tomato St wait is that
08:44
what the new jeda Jedi looks like the
08:45
post faft who knew I yeah I was just
08:48
thinking the other day like what
08:49
manufacturers are not selling cars
08:50
anymore and Volkswagen came in mind I
08:52
was like no they still have they still
08:53
have it but they they don't sell the
08:55
golf here anymore right it's just the
08:56
GTI and the Golf R right things are
08:59
changing yeah the whole new world it's
09:00
not the you in Europe Volkswagen sells a
09:03
convertible SUV called the t-rock
09:04
Cabriolet and they have for years yeah
09:08
frontel drive only though right I
09:09
believe I don't know that sounds like a
09:11
good car for you to import give
09:13
us here's our next news story it's the
09:16
new Ram heavy duty has been released and
09:18
it has an absolutely ridiculous Grill
09:21
there are lines everywhere now it's hard
09:23
to see the resolution of our camera but
09:24
there are Lines line line line line line
09:27
line line line line it like a bailing
09:30
whale it looks like it's going to be a
09:32
lot of fun to clean but it's a truck
09:34
who's cleaning trucks we're going to try
09:35
to find new photos uh you don't think
09:37
anybody's cleaning truck I mean not to
09:38
the like obsessive Kenan and felipa with
09:40
the Fiat 500 thank you for watching our
09:42
video you know I will say also the
09:44
interesting thing about these trucks
09:46
with the grills um there you go you can
09:48
kind of see it a little bit better look
09:49
at all those lines there's up there's
09:51
vertical lines there's horizontal lines
09:53
uh there's normal line that's fine those
09:56
Vehicles kill people do we agree oh yeah
09:59
100% okay there's no pedestrian
10:00
regulations for vehicles like this they
10:02
can have grills I mean this Grill's got
10:03
to be four five feet high yep they will
10:05
murder children it'll be very tragic wow
10:08
well you you get the cyber truck also
10:10
known for comparatively lower harder
10:13
doesn't deform but compar it's fine what
10:16
what why why are we talking about this
10:17
can you because it's a
10:19
facelifted I think it real design has
10:21
jumped the shark this is yet another
10:23
manufacturer trying to I remember years
10:25
ago I did a review on the Superduty and
10:27
the the Ford badge was the size of
10:29
license plate and it was that was crazy
10:31
and now I mean my Toyota badge on my
10:33
Sequoia is the size of fipo I'm not
10:35
exagger he lie down right that Ram badge
10:38
might as well be the size of a child
10:40
right it's kind of disappointing but
10:41
that's the world we're living in now but
10:43
it's a lot of plastic which is
10:44
interesting give me another news story
10:45
give me a robot M oh yes this is an
10:47
interesting one go ahead uh inos is
10:49
pausing production of the Grenadier and
10:50
Quarter Master which is their pickup
10:52
truck uh for they say about a year due
10:55
to some part delays now it is
10:57
legitimately apparently driven by part
11:00
I heard they don't know how long but
11:01
months they're pulling a Jaguar so they
11:04
they do say that it's solely due to like
11:06
some key part they haven't said which
11:08
one from A supplier that's not available
11:10
but you got to assume they're kind of
11:11
happy about this well okay so I don't
11:13
think it has anything to do with a
11:16
part inos dealers are loaded with inos I
11:21
likei I think they're cool but they are
11:24
not hard to find they are not hard to
11:27
buy they are very oversold right now
11:29
over produced and at dealers and so I
11:32
have a susp whenever an automaker says
11:35
Parts there's a parts delay we're
11:37
pausing production you don't pause
11:39
production you got to sell in order to
11:42
continue to make I mean to generate they
11:44
are certainly content with their not
11:45
being additional inventory at their
11:47
dealer Lots one wonders what the real
11:49
story is I'll put it that way I could be
11:52
a little bit of both I don't if you tell
11:54
your supplier stop producing the part
11:55
well yeah then there's a shortage of the
11:57
part listen I'll tell you this I'll tell
11:58
you this if you're in a position where
12:00
your car is doing incredibly well you
12:02
find a way you get a part you get the
12:04
part you don't pause production for 6
12:06
months you find another supplier or you
12:08
have your suppliers signed cont I mean
12:10
there's suppliers generally can't get
12:11
out of this kind of stuff this is an
12:13
interesting thing situation can I note
12:16
there are a lot of in SC around which
12:18
it's stunning I I'm surprised by how
12:21
much adoption there has been in wealthy
12:24
Coastal neighborhoods on nuet this
12:25
summer where just a big four-wheel drive
12:29
they were I don't know I saw 30 of them
12:31
it's like here in San Diego yeah I got
12:34
three neighbors who have them literally
12:35
within a few blocks of my house it's
12:36
like the thing you know what you will
12:38
never see a Quarter Master do you know
12:40
how do you know how much the pck cost
12:41
well it's subject to the chicken tax it
12:43
is do you know how much it costs well
12:44
25% more than it should correct it's
12:47
like it's 95 Grand if memory serves for
12:49
the base pickup Grenadier the chicken TX
12:52
scuzi it always has that's the problem
12:54
they need to they need to pull a Ford
12:55
Transit Connect and assemble it here
12:59
well take take the seats in and take
13:00
them out it's it's a pickup thing though
13:02
it only works that like that with Vans
13:05
they do have uh lease specials I've been
13:06
seeing Facebook ads for it and that's
13:08
like a investment hypothesis I have for
13:11
like a family offices figure out who's
13:13
pushing the best lease deals on Facebook
13:15
and then short those
13:16
stops it's a great point it was it was
13:18
the canary Canary and the coal mine for
13:21
the future of of inos unfortunately it
13:23
is every car right now if you're running
13:26
the Johnson and Johnson family office
13:29
here is a great idea for you um what do
13:32
you think the Johnson Johnson family
13:33
office is called cuz I doubt it's
13:35
Johnson and Johnson no they got some
13:36
name um Pig Johnson Toyota and Lexus are
13:39
not in short in Long except for the bz
13:43
4X which is the worst car on sale do we
13:46
AG can we just say that as a as a
13:49
podcast can we take a position as a
13:51
podcast I will ponder we'll come back
13:53
next week and I will is Thea worse do
13:56
you think the b4x is uglier
13:59
yeah agreed so it's slightly worse I I
14:02
will put some real thought over the next
14:04
week worst car on sale yeah you're
14:06
thinking about the Volkswagen Atlas
14:08
crossback or whatever it's called those
14:10
are cheap though it's not the the Q4
14:13
rron and honestly so does infinity Q60
14:16
or 50 whichever one is still for sale
14:18
dude yesterday I asked him and Sam to
14:20
name all the current
14:22
Infinities got half the lineup and they
14:24
both said products that don't exist
14:26
anymore no oh yeah fipo still
14:28
nonetheless I would like credit for
14:30
getting them all correct just not all of
14:31
them okay so anyway inos pausing
14:33
production no surprise uh they are they
14:35
are over supplied whether or not they
14:37
say it's the supplier there's been talk
14:38
maybe it's ricaro because of the seats
14:39
that could be true but other
14:40
manufacturers aren't having that issue I
14:42
suspect it's an issue of oversupply yeah
14:45
regardless even if it is part part
14:47
related they're probably pretty content
14:49
there are cars that are early adopter
14:52
cars and this is one of them like I
14:53
think the early people get it they're
14:54
excited they pay sticker they pay over
14:57
it's hard after that to find the segment
14:59
and once I started seeing how many of
15:00
these are showing up at the inos
15:02
Steelers I was really surprised this is
15:03
never production because I mean in India
15:05
is like a legitimate company I'm not
15:07
surprised they had the supply chain part
15:08
issue aside mostly figured out to get
15:10
cars to Lots but it maybe hurt them too
15:13
yeah and I I think they may be over over
15:17
oversized over decided how many people
15:20
would actually want to buy they named it
15:21
after a pubit England made the decision
15:24
to create I think the whole thing's a
15:25
little silly uh I think they're cool
15:27
though I wish there was a conver British
15:29
to do all of the above correct correct
15:31
and I am I am impressed by how much it
15:32
looks like a Defender yeah it looks cool
15:34
as hell you see him around it
15:36
legitimately looks cool as hell and I
15:37
will say regardless of the current over
15:39
Supply situation they have kind of
15:41
proven to Land Rover hey there were
15:42
people who were interested in this like
15:44
if Land Rover had done it and done it at
15:46
to on on their terms I bet it would have
15:48
been a successful car and instead they
15:50
left it to somebody else and they've
15:52
done okay I don't think the powert train
15:54
works I think a lot of the tech is wonky
15:56
but like they've shown hey there
15:57
actually are people rich with real money
15:59
willing to buy this car and maybe
16:01
Landover should have given that a
16:02
thought before making the defender like
16:04
a Suburban transport vehicle if you want
16:06
to learn more about it Doug does have a
16:08
full review on his YouTube Channel full
16:11
review right we're going to move on to
16:12
the next topic which is gr cor the gr
16:14
coroll it's now available with an
16:16
automatic transmission you seen this how
16:18
much you you can get get I believe an
16:20
8speed automatic now how much do you
16:23
think it is cheaper or more expensive
16:25
than the regular jur Corolla to do so
16:27
I'm going to go with no cost option no C
16:29
option that's what it should be instead
16:30
it's 2 Grand more so you could buy a Zur
16:33
Corolla with a manual or you could spend
16:36
two grand which is 5% of the sale of the
16:40
MSRP to get and it's not it's going to
16:43
resell worse oh no doubt so much and so
16:46
the question so you're you're paying
16:47
more you're going to lose more period I
16:49
mean there's no question about that and
16:51
it's just it's just a torque converter a
16:53
yeah here's my question they have some
16:55
BS name for it sure my question is are
16:58
they going to sell it any is anyone
17:01
going to purchase it well so keep in
17:02
mind that people put man automatics in
17:04
first gen vipers because they were
17:06
Boomers who really want an automatic it
17:07
was it was an aftermarket option but you
17:08
see them pop up sometimes really maybe
17:11
yeah I was going to say people that you
17:12
know either had a disability or had a a
17:16
legitimate need to not they're not
17:17
buying a jerk Cora I agree I think that
17:20
those people will do it so that's the
17:21
small portion of is anyone else going to
17:23
do it people who don't want to sit in
17:25
traffic I guess in why buy a j Cora well
17:28
you want to have some fun but you got to
17:30
you got a long commute do you think
17:31
they're going to get buyers that just
17:32
want an all-wheel drive Corolla like
17:34
hashack it's the only Corolla hasback
17:36
available with all wheel drive that's
17:37
interesting I was behind a a Focus ST
17:39
today that was going very slowly and I
17:42
was thinking to myself did does this
17:43
person just want a stick focus and it or
17:46
a white focus and it was like at the
17:47
dealer and so the seats look cool so
17:49
they did it you know maybe you get a
17:51
good deal on it you probably will that
17:54
so that'll apply to the felipo and I
17:56
category never buy the automatic version
17:58
of this car ever what if it was really
18:00
cheap no half off no half off half off
18:04
in free oil changes for
18:07
life you would do it and you get a
18:09
Toyota bee and lion I I do wonder if the
18:12
market is like like
18:14
you and your your wife have a Ford Focus
18:16
that's an automatic despite that being
18:17
the worst transmission known to man The
18:20
it just was it is yeah it's bad would
18:22
you if if you want a jerk roller but you
18:23
want your significant other who can
18:25
drive manual maybe you would buy the
18:26
auto Jer yeah again it like it should
18:28
only be my sign why is this so rough why
18:32
what is going why did this cost
18:34
$48,000 you don't tell her it's the gr
18:36
you I got you a Corolla it's a basic car
18:39
No Frills just like you I once had that
18:41
idea I was going to get my wife a Grand
18:44
Cherokee SRT do you remember this I was
18:45
going to pull the badges this was a
18:47
legitimate idea that I had and I kind of
18:49
took it to some conclusion but I didn't
18:51
do that but I really really really
18:54
thought about it it would be a little
18:55
loud she she may not that she would
18:57
notice the noise I really don't she's
18:59
around my loud cars all the time she's
19:01
probably like normalized noise like I
19:03
think it would be fine but my wife now
19:06
notices things that I don't expect but
19:07
that I would never notice for example
19:09
there's a Honda prologue parked in front
19:10
of my house CU that's what getting
19:11
picked up she I had not noticed that the
19:13
badge is a different Honda spelling on
19:15
the you didn't notice that's like the
19:17
only cool thing about the exterior I I
19:18
was I was busy admiring the color uh and
19:21
the Blazer and she hates it apparently
19:23
but like she came in and said I can't
19:25
believe this looks like that I hate that
19:26
I think it's cool it's futuristic but
19:28
you maybe your wife would notice the
19:30
color or she'd notice like the giant
19:31
breakes or the color but not the I think
19:34
we we'd get away with that I am
19:36
surprised at how many TRD Edition Camry
19:40
that I see around and you're like it's
19:42
just a body kit so the person wanted an
19:44
automatic practical car that also looked
19:46
like a little sporty so if you are like
19:49
I want a Corolla but I want a sporty
19:51
looking one but I also don't I'm not a
19:53
the bass Corolla hatchback is like
19:54
sporty looking and they offer a sport
19:56
one that isn't the gr also you know what
19:58
I Iz about those Camry trds I was in New
20:00
York city where the Avalon is like the
20:02
main car for the Ubers and like I saw
20:04
like 12 Avalon trds and it hit me those
20:08
those guys showed up at the dealer there
20:09
wasn't a regular Avalon so they were
20:11
like all right I'll take the TRD and I
20:12
bet that's a lot of the Camry TRD buyers
20:15
probably yeah there's one I know in
20:17
particular that I'm like I know this
20:19
person and they're not a TRD buyer I
20:21
think they're just what was available I
20:23
will say I found five more buyers I
20:24
think there's five people in Vermont who
20:26
bought an STI when it was new cuz they
20:27
wanted an allhe Drive hot hat drive
20:30
those yeah but like now they're they're
20:32
ready for auto they will buy those and
20:34
we found all 10 buyers right good job
20:37
okay moving on to the talk cars segment
20:40
where we are going to talk about about
20:43
cars uh and I want to start with a topic
20:45
that I think is really important uh
20:48
which is road rage it hit me the other
20:50
day not not not not theory of mine yet
20:54
best Doug Theory I've heard was watching
20:56
YouTube videos with road rage
20:59
uh as I do r.com roadcam no no on
21:02
YouTube I I it now recommends me road
21:04
rage videos all sorts of things like
21:07
that I I my YouTube is is road rage
21:09
compilations and weird things that
21:11
happen in Major League Baseball games
21:13
that's like it like like the guy hitting
21:15
a bird yeah stuff like that I I I watch
21:18
a ton could actually happen on either
21:20
video something for the audience to
21:21
think about here's my road rage
21:23
contention a lot of people out there
21:25
seem to enjoy getting in road rage and
21:28
so my is if you're going to get in road
21:30
rage you should do it you should engage
21:32
with a driver of a first generation
21:34
Nissan Leaf because those cars initially
21:37
12 years ago only had 64 miles of range
21:40
and these days they're probably down to
21:41
about 30 miles of range and so my
21:43
thinking is engage in a road rage
21:45
incident with them they can't chase you
21:47
so if you're out of the road and you're
21:48
thinking I'm mad and I really want to
21:50
rage at somebody seek out a Nissan Leaf
21:54
first generation and it's a brilliant
21:57
idea they're also statistically less
21:58
likely to be gun owners I would imagine
22:01
which having lived in Arizona a while
22:03
that is calculus you do before you road
22:05
rage on someone sure is the calculus
22:08
what you see you see an NRA bumper
22:10
sticker or pickup you don't mess with
22:12
them on the same level you would a leaf
22:14
owner it's true for so many reasons but
22:16
if you the same argument could be made
22:18
about imv owners yeah well you can find
22:20
one they're so pathetic right that you
22:23
don't want to that's true no off I you
22:26
have to say hey you've had a bad year
22:28
year decades two decades but first least
22:31
and you got to assume if they're driving
22:33
they've already so let's say the 64
22:34
miles range in 2012 now they're down to
22:36
like 35 you can tell by the way if you
22:38
ever want to buy any Leaf the ways you
22:39
know doesn't matter they're now down to
22:41
35 miles of range right yeah but if
22:43
they're driving they've probably used at
22:45
least use three or four miles of range
22:46
already if they're on the highway
22:47
they're at one mile regardless of how
22:49
long they've been on the highway and if
22:50
they do try to chase you at the very
22:52
least you can take solson knowing they
22:53
won't have air conditioning for it
22:55
because if they turn on their air
22:56
conditioning they'd lose like 10 more
22:59
and so that's a little road range tip
23:00
for you and they look like a frog yeah
23:03
it's weird looking car um okay Nick that
23:06
is an excellent takeaway for entire
23:07
audience thank you thank you it's going
23:09
to be hard to for some people to find to
23:11
first gener you're also assuming
23:12
someone's doing calculated premeditated
23:16
which don't you just want to do road
23:18
rage sometimes I think just rage I do
23:20
have this fantasy that if I won the
23:21
lottery and had infinite money like I
23:24
would rear end people if they weren't
23:26
quick enough at the lights and like kind
23:28
of just nudge them off not to harm them
23:29
but just to like penalize them for being
23:32
too slow when I'm trying to get
23:33
somewhere you are like one step away
23:37
owning oh yeah yeah like a Rani would be
23:40
a great card or the Tera whatever right
23:42
the gerka it's not up yet it's not g
23:44
it's not up yet okay um okay Nick update
23:47
us about your Maserati quatra Porte all
23:49
right so the qp5 is I've gotten it it's
23:52
been a a whirlwind already but we we
23:54
have all seen it outside of one spot it
23:56
looks great yes I pulled the paint
23:59
removing paint protection film but I've
24:01
done some good things too I changed the
24:02
oil so on pressure wash the pressure
24:04
wash the engine had a little issues
24:06
there but the big issue was the title so
24:09
the guy sends me the title and this was
24:10
after a lot of back and forth with a
24:13
very sketchy person with a with a person
24:15
where we we called off the deal twice I
24:17
canceled shipping it it was like a whole
24:20
thing and uh the title finally arrives
24:22
and it's missing a signature so now I
24:26
to uh you have possession of the car
24:28
that's n910 of the law no I said look
24:30
the title's missing a signature the guy
24:32
is sketchy just sign it yeah dou Nick of
24:36
does not actually advocate for I was a
24:38
good A Good Samaritan and I I sent it
24:41
back to him because I didn't want to be
24:42
accused of title fraud but he already
24:43
has the full payment for the vehicle So
24:45
in theory he could have taken that title
24:47
and said hey some guy in California
24:49
stole my car here's the title here's the
24:51
proof of ownership and I it would I
24:53
don't know if it would work or not but
24:55
he could try course he also sent you the
24:57
title before he sent you the car so you
24:58
could have done the same thing you
25:00
already shown that you're and that was
25:01
why this deal took over a month was we
25:03
were both running those hypotheticals
25:05
assuming the other guy was going to scam
25:06
each other and and we just came to
25:09
stalemate so many I thought Nick was
25:10
going to scam him because Nick's the
25:12
type of guy who's buying a used quator
25:14
the problem is that Nick's buying the
25:15
car from the type of guy who's selling a
25:16
used quatro Porte and and you know
25:19
earlier in the transaction when I sent
25:20
proof of funds he's like I got more
25:22
money than you like they kept being like
25:25
this weird contest and then what did you
25:26
send him what what photo we talked about
25:28
this lastek we talked about it so so
25:30
anyways the story continues that he said
25:33
all right I will have the the title
25:35
signed but I want extra money for the
25:37
inconvenience even though the guy
25:39
himself wasn't the one he didn't sign
25:41
the title correctly in the first place
25:43
he asked for more money from Nick for
25:45
the inconvenience of him having to sign
25:47
the title correctly didn't you
25:49
previously send him more money to
25:50
overnight you a title that he then just
25:52
pocketed I sent him $30 for overnighting
25:55
he showed me a picture of the $5 postage
25:58
he pocketed the 25 bucks and it took it
26:01
took like weeks Som got lost and it took
26:03
a week to go from Texas to Montana to
26:05
where Nick California I think you said
26:08
yeah yeah of course um but anyway so I
26:11
which county though I decided not to
26:14
explain to him how I was the one being
26:16
inconvenienced I drove the car without
26:18
it being registered for a week and
26:20
thankfully that the title actually did
26:21
arrive back we are Bros now we're
26:24
exchanging photos and like what are the
26:26
new photos of his Audi seven and I'm not
26:31
than uh the only one that I know of the
26:35
first one he doesn't know what color is
26:36
it latest one uh Nardo gray n gr is he
26:40
sell would you recommend him as a seller
26:43
I was so weired because we talked badly
26:45
upon him on the last podcast before the
26:47
title had been received and I'm like oh
26:49
my gosh if he listens I have a feeling
26:51
he's going to keep this
26:53
title at least now we can say the
26:55
transaction is done and the sketchiest
26:56
man in the world has sold the the second
26:58
sketchiest man in the world a quatro
27:00
officially we're both all right people
27:04
some very fine people on both sides
27:06
thank you that's exactly what I was
27:09
for oh I'm glad that you got it done
27:11
Nick and I'm so excited to see the qu P
27:13
start to appear on the channel when are
27:14
the videos start to go live soon I've
27:17
got about three half filmed here it is
27:20
currently having the wheels redone in
27:21
silver which I know will make you very
27:23
happyy they were Factory black but it
27:25
wasn't a oh they were Factory black yeah
27:26
oh well it looked bad cuz I think blue
27:28
wheels on a black car with blue black
27:31
wheels on a blue car look stupid it's
27:32
like wearing a blue shirt and black pant
27:33
like it doesn't match but it was end of
27:36
the run and Maserati was trying to find
27:38
a way to make the product no one wanted
27:39
a little more exciting black wheels were
27:41
really in should have tried was selling
27:44
it for $177,000 or $113,000 or whatever
27:46
you paid oh it is worth every penny I
27:49
love this car for 14
27:51
Grand I'm sure you do and it's been
27:53
reliable yeah he came down to my son at
27:55
a birthday party the other day he drove
27:56
his whole family to the party in it
27:59
wife kids made it we made it round trip
28:01
they all show up in a maera port with
28:02
fictitious license plates cuz at the
28:05
time the title hadn't come in yet so
28:06
you're doing great Nick apparently
28:08
pretty soon we are all going to be going
28:10
to the desert in cars that are cheap and
28:14
the quator is one of them and there will
28:16
be others and it's going to be a video
28:17
series we'll have more on that on the
28:22
youtube.com it's going to be quite an
28:24
exciting series give us a talk cars
28:26
please yeah I want to talk about a kind
28:28
of a preference thing so went live today
28:31
on cars and bids so we're filming this a
28:33
little bit early yes uh there are two
28:36
very green cars yes that that just went
28:38
live on car one is an AMG GTR Coupe in
28:41
green hell Magno yeah YouTube Don't
28:44
demonetize us that's what Mercedes
28:45
called it yeah uh and a Huracan Evo in
28:48
um Verde mantis before you got here he
28:50
was like would either of you drive ever
28:51
drive a car in these colors and I was
28:53
like I wouldn't get one of these two
28:55
cars if it wasn't in these colors
28:58
Huron cool car but it this is just such
29:00
a I I can't that's what they are I can't
29:03
that's what they are I just can't do you
29:06
agree it's like the mansari that's the
29:08
point the point to be obnoxious I
29:09
actually love this the greenell Magnum
29:11

29:13
anything but green hell Magnum that's
29:15
the color it's it's such a color it's so
29:18
color yeah but that's the that's the
29:19
point blue blue on your 4GT looks
29:21
wonderful this guy has seven cars and so
29:24
when he wants to go crazy he drives this
29:26
when he wants to daily he's got Escalade
29:28
were either of these the Press color
29:30
this was yeah cuz I think of so think of
29:32
the Verde Etha with mercio Lagos there's
29:35
a lot of cars where like the green is
29:36
Iconic so I think this being the Press
29:39
color yes on the Huracan I don't know
29:41
Huracan but you got to have it in some
29:42
loud color yeah like people who get
29:45
black I don't get at it totally hides
29:46
what the color of herc who sold that
29:48
looks cool that that Orono Argos looks
29:51
really cool Roso I'm Into You know I
29:53
really like lizard green on the GT3 rs's
29:56
you're trying to put there's certain
29:57
cars it works I want my cars to all be
29:59
silver you're try to put a classy color
30:01
into a non- classy car the Huracan isn't
30:04
classy and never will be it's a it's an
30:05
in yourface crazy thing so you get an in
30:08
yourface crazy color when I was looking
30:09

30:13
and gray and it was like you guys don't
30:15
get the point of a Lotus Elite no I want
30:17
my Lotus El to be gray no yeah I wanted
30:21
Krypton green which was this but I
30:22
couldn't afford it yeah and honestly
30:25
shopping for my qp5 I said I will not bu
30:28
a silver black or white it has to be a
30:30
color I honestly don't care beyond that
30:32
but it has to be a color I don't want a
30:34
gray scale have you seen the Bentley
30:36
there was a Bentley in here in which is
30:38
purple on purple and I'm not saying it's
30:40
like some purple on the interior the
30:42
carpets the whole thing it's a Bentley
30:44
press car that I have and they call the
30:47
damson damson all right that's what I
30:49
said Damon you got a purple P so I'm I'm
30:53
alone you are alone if you get a car
30:56
like this that's what you want you're
30:57
crazy not the market for uh later on I'm
31:00
going to sell you a automatic gr Corolla
31:03
in lizard green real good deal I would
31:06
only bu to thr transmission fluid
31:11
flushes that's enough for he knows
31:13
you're incred the fluid a little cooling
31:16
you don't have to change it it's it's
31:17
fluid by the way speaking of this you
31:20
know what do you know what the Genesis
31:22
the endup Genesis of that Sequoia oil
31:24
change thing was remember I said on the
31:25
podcast I have to drive cross country
31:27
and get my oil Chang you remember what
31:28
you know what happened uh I I took it to
31:31
the dealership in hyanis Massachusetts
31:32
and they said the oil change is actually
31:34
not until 10,000 miles the 5,000 m
31:37
service I swear to God he said it's
31:39
going to take us an hour but he said we
31:41
rotate your tires we check your floor
31:43
mat positioning and we check your fluids
31:45
and I said sir can I have my keys back
31:47
and I left and I drove the car at $3500
31:50
I will say I you told me this and then I
31:52
looked it up it does say that if you're
31:53
driving in more difficult conditions
31:55
such as maybe on the beach every single
31:58
exclusively on 3,000 mil at a time yeah
32:01
you should probably I'm going to get the
32:02
oil change to 8,500 miles to compensate
32:04
for that what are you at right now 8500
32:06
I'm going take it to I was worried you
32:07
were at 8,000 and it would take you a
32:09
year to get the last 500 I'm also a
32:11
little bit of an orphan with this seoa
32:12
because I bought it from Toyota Long
32:13
Beach shout out to my guys I actually
32:17
did the whole transaction over text
32:19
message when I was sitting Washington
32:20
Square Park in Manhattan I swear to God
32:22
including the wire and so I I bought it
32:25
at Long Beach Toyota and so they don't
32:28
accept me at the other Toyota the first
32:30
thing they say is did you buy it here
32:31
and I'm like no and they're like well
32:34
sir they don't need to ask you that they
32:35
haven't sold a TRD Pro seia years I
32:38
would have bought here if you had one um
32:41
anyway so the Sequoia is going to get it
32:43
oil change it's getting cleaned right
32:44
now wow it's it was rough it was so
32:48
rough you should have seen how much sand
32:49
was in this thing I bet I mean it was so
32:52
bad and like shells and crab pieces and
32:55
it was just a lot of the trunk was
32:56
shells shells was a lot of the trunk I
32:58
meant to take him back to the beach but
33:00
I I forgot to be honest can I mention
33:03
one talkar SL news topic before we move
33:06
on oh are you familiar with the Civic
33:09
the Honda Civic yes there are many trim
33:12
levels there's a regular one there's a
33:13
hybrid one and there's the Civic SI yeah
33:15
it's also a Civic type bar but we don't
33:17
one which do you think is most
33:20
powerful can I go with decompressed
33:22
national natural gas they still make
33:24
that one they still offer them no they
33:26
they haven't you would assume the SI is
33:29
the most powerful that's a fair
33:30
assumption not correct so the hybrid has
33:32
200 horse the SI has but the hybrid has
33:36
something like 40 more pound feet of
33:37
torque than the SI the hybrid's torque
33:40
is2 and the Si's torque is 192 wow 40 40
33:45
more pound feet in the hybrid the hybrid
33:47
is more powerful and it has a faster 0
33:49
to 60 time than the SI do they still
33:50
offer the hybrid with three Peds no Nick
33:52
and I are three ped guys what can I say
33:54
right so like the the SI makes sense I'm
33:56
sure it's lighter put three pedals right
33:58
now Dia no you don't oh no that's true
34:02
automatics that was true before too when
34:05
was the last time you had a manual car
34:06
oh that's so true yeah the
34:09
R8 RS4 no R8 was the most recent Years
34:13
Years uh me and you at least so if you
34:14
want the fastest Honda Civic get the
34:17
hybrid get the hybrid if you want if you
34:18
pull up in a Civic SI next to another
34:21
Civic don't drag race them because
34:24
they're faster well what if it's a type
34:26
R if you're you're in the type R no no
34:29
no the is f fastest the Integra Type S
34:33
is but but the hybrid gets you the best
34:34
fuel economy the best zero 6 time and
34:36
the most torque something to consider
34:37
it's crazy then you could go road rage
34:39
against a leaf and outrun them with your
34:42
that including in a CN yeah you could do
34:44
that in any car that's another benefit
34:46
actually you can do that in like a moped
34:48
if you try hard enough the new Civic
34:49
Hybrid 50 m per gallon combined 49
34:51
combined and I think you get a hatch is
34:53
there any drawback to this car no okay
34:55
we've said that the Toyota bz 4X is the
34:58
worst car on sale the Civic Hybrid is
35:00
the best yeah faster than the Civic SI
35:03
50 MP gallon what else do you
35:09
agre okay uh filipo give us our next
35:12
topic please oh the market report it's
35:14
time for the market report where we talk
35:16
about the car market and who they
35:17
brought to you by brought to you by cars
35:19
and bids the finest car Marketplace in
35:21
the world selling and buying cars has
35:24
never been easier than on carsand
35:27
free listings for sellers I really wish
35:30
you had said that part into the mic but
35:35
fine okay all right what we got some
35:37
market report topics one topic I want to
35:39
talk about Model S signature can we can
35:41
you pull up a Model S signature yeah
35:45
please that one pull that one up no that
35:47
one for the folks stuck in the 90s
35:50
what's the signature edition okay the
35:52
Tesla Model S comes out it is obviously
35:55
one of the most important cars of our
35:57
lifetime I mean you can't say anything
35:58
other at the time we didn't know that
36:00
though right like it was just another
36:02
startup BS car right they made the first
36:05
thousand of them were the signature
36:07
model which was red with these gray
36:08
wheels they were signed by Elon Musk
36:11
they true and they were all I don't I
36:13
don't remember this like the foundation
36:15
series it was like the very beginning
36:17
well sort of except the foundation
36:18
series turns out to now be the first
36:21
year but yeah this is like legitimately
36:23
the first thousand vins I have a theory
36:25
that these are going to be valuable
36:26
cards meanes everybody 53 Grand in 2022
36:29
for for a super low mile one but I
36:31
really think when you think about the
36:33
Tesla and the impact it's had and will
36:35
continue to obviously have on the car
36:37
market this is like where it started the
36:39
the Roadster is where it started but
36:41
that's kind of a compromised car that
36:42
doesn't really fit in with any of the
36:43
ethos of any car they made later this
36:45
was like the very beginning 2012 the
36:48
very first cars I have a suspicion that
36:51
in 20 years we look back and say I mean
36:55
they the door handles be broken and the
36:56
scen ETC ET we look back and say this
36:58
was the beginning this is a special car
37:00
you're next thing you're GNA talk about
37:01
is the same thing for Nissan leafes no
37:03
those cars had no impact then volt and
37:06
the leaf the first gen Leaf had an
37:07
impact it had a very small imp 64 miles
37:10
of range um I couldn't get from one end
37:13
to the Dallas metro area to the other I
37:15
don't disagree with you I mean like the
37:16
second sh is things that help it limited
37:20
defined by the VIN which I think does
37:22
help for like collectibility mhm um
37:25
limited production and they they were
37:26
truly special cars they had their own
37:28
color their own wheels like it was there
37:29
something to identify them I don't
37:31
disagree with you and like we saw
37:32
Roadster values go up a lot in the last
37:34
few years those OB are different
37:36
different body style I think it hurts it
37:37
that the model S still I don't think
37:40
this happens anytime soon but I agree
37:41
with you I think it'll be important but
37:42
I think as we look back and as other
37:44
Model S's sort of are just normal cars
37:46
we're going to say what was where did
37:47
Tesla begin and when you look at the
37:49
beginning of some really important cars
37:52
some of them have really become like
37:54
valuable Commodities like the original
37:55
Ford Explorer you can get one of I mean
37:57
those are 6 Seven Grand now no but
37:59
really I I truly think about this car
38:02
like someday well preserved Model S
38:03
signatures are going to be valuable cars
38:05
the beginning of this generation in 2012
38:07
and the end of this generation in 2050
38:09
will will both like the very end and
38:11
very beginning will both be desirable
38:12
that's so true this is a good point good
38:15
Insight I also think it looks really
38:17
cool like I'm not a big model S guy I
38:18
think it's kind of a boring looking car
38:20
but specifically the signature this red
38:23
color is cool the wheels are cool it
38:25
actually had kind of like a a special
38:27
effect to it um and it really was the
38:30
beginning of a whole new world like that
38:32
has not stopped since then do you
38:34
remember seeing them out for the first
38:35
time I remember when I was walking
38:36
around I lived in Atlanta when this car
38:38
came out and I remember walking down the
38:39
street in a nice neighborhood and there
38:40
was one in a driveway I was like what
38:41
somebody bought one of these stupid cars
38:43
a stupid Tesla like what an idiot and it
38:46
was a signature like this and I still
38:48
remember that that was in 2012 it was
38:50
the first really of like the real we
38:53
have actual range it's a normal car
38:56
doesn't look like a leaf yeah the leaf
38:58
came out for the 10 model year this came
38:59
out for the 12 model year come out
39:01
around like 111 12 but like this was
39:03
this Tesla obviously is the company that
39:05
changed the e space forever also you of
39:07
course remember this doesn't have three
39:09
rows but the model S early you could
39:11
have we're facing yeah they offered it
39:13
for a long time I don't think they've
39:15
had it and no longer the model S
39:17
signature such a cool looking car okay
39:19
Nick give us a market take please all
39:21
right another car I'm interested in
39:23
although it would continue my shameful
39:26
record of automatics is a clk63 black
39:29
series we just sold one you sold an
39:32
amazing one okay I would only want it in
39:34
silver contrary to our previous
39:36
discussion work what black they offered
39:38
them in black white red there are Reds
39:41
around but silver was like perfect it it
39:44
really showcases the the fenders and the
39:46
wide B what makes it not a $8,000 CLK
39:49
base Bas correct yeah um it's a gorgeous
39:52
car and during Co I remember sitting
39:54
around our car group and we all said oh
39:56
we miss the mark they're they're now
39:58
going for 110 120 they going up they're
40:01
gone Y and not just this one this one
40:05
actually was a good result they're all
40:06
now selling in like 80 you can maybe buy
40:09
to like 100 buys maybe an extremely low
40:12
mile one but they've come down and I
40:14
just think that's such a buy for bu it
40:16
is such a special car they only made it
40:17
for what one or two model years they're
40:19
really rare they look really really
40:21
really cool 700 Global so it's like a
40:24
real thing and it's not 700 Global of
40:25
some trim level it like actually
40:28
it's a very special car and at car week
40:31
this year you know what car got the most
40:32
attention CLK GTR okay well that's it's
40:36
slightly different it's a little more
40:38
modified but I'm just saying like there
40:40
is like a the heritage of this car the
40:42
specialness it's not like this you're so
40:44
right vaporware car yeah same car
40:47
completely it's actually the different
40:48
generation that's the second the comp
40:52
which which one is this I can't tell
40:53
it's a newer one the the the headlights
40:55
are conjoined instead of separate
40:58
jok I I do it's not an as Park owl it's
41:01
not some like vaporware car like it's
41:03
for 91 this is cool I believe it or not
41:05
I actually wrote on my list separate
41:06
from you that the CLK GTR is kind of a
41:09
deal yeah it is when you think about the
41:10
production level and when you think
41:11
about how cool it is and also not to
41:13
toot our own SES horn this is the one to
41:16
get and I really really was interested
41:18
in I was kind of hoping it wouldn't make
41:19
reserves so I could pop on in but it did
41:21
but this car had miles but not so many
41:23
that it was crazy but it had 46,000
41:25
miles so you could use it and it wasn't
41:26
stupid modified weird number of these
41:28
were stupidly modified which is it
41:30
didn't make sense nobody's modding
41:31
Mercedes but that happened and a lot of
41:33
the wheels get changed and these are
41:35
beautiful the perfect Wheels people
41:36
change the wheels it makes no sense this
41:38
looks like a touring car and those look
41:39
like touring car wheels like it's so
41:42
cool it is such a cool car it is an
41:44
automatic and it did have basically the
41:46
same interior as a regular CLK from that
41:47
era that's the only things that have
41:48
stopped me from doing it I reviewed one
41:50
and like you can get the tail out by
41:52
just thinking yeah it was crazy so much
41:55
fun the V8s in these cars just it's a
41:58
muscle car it sounds amazing it's got
42:00
tons of torque like it is it is not your
42:03
Grandy's uh Mercedes here and by the way
42:05
something a lot of people don't know
42:06
this was the only clk63 Coupe they
42:08
didn't do a regular clk63 Coupe they
42:10
only did a regular clk63 convertible so
42:12
it's not like there's the same engine in
42:14
a lesser I mean the convertible I guess
42:16
you could make that argument but like
42:17
they did a clk55 coupe on the previous
42:19
engine but it was way less power cuz it
42:22
wasn't it was never super and 4 500
42:25
whereas the the other the 55 was 362 cuz
42:28
they didn't know if the supercharg in
42:29
this car this is this is at 91 at the
42:31
very least you won't lose money on it
42:33
yep it's so cool why don't you have
42:36
one maybe after the qp5 this would be a
42:39
good consideration I've been trying to
42:40
talk him into a Diablo I'm I'm uh we I'm
42:43
watching two of them very closely he bit
42:45
on that one last week on this podcast
42:47
remember that's right something to watch
42:49
I've since been out bed but you know
42:51
we're we're watching that one um
42:52
speaking of 63 Mercedes I have a topic
42:55
that I think you will be interested in
42:57
we want to talk about our most of the
42:58
car we're most excited about being live
43:00
on the site right now and my answer is
43:01
the pteridine girka o Road r car this
43:06
car is a ridiculous vehicle it's based
43:09
on the Superduty Ford FS series uh and
43:13
it's a just absolutely massive absurd
43:15
thing Ford F550 and it has stuff like
43:18
road flares look at this aren't you
43:20
excited to have this oh and the crazy
43:22
part about this terter gerka oh sorry
43:24
the all of it isn't the crazy part no
43:26
believe it or not you know what the
43:27
craziest thing is the mileage but don't
43:29
look don't look don't look I was just
43:30
about to note that cuz that is wild okay
43:33
this thing I mean you've already seen
43:34
but this thing you it's absurd but it's
43:37
been driven 44,000 miles somebody like
43:39
daily a pteran and girka and what year
43:42
is it 17 it's only years old 2020 it's a
43:45
20 but it's oh it's a that's right right
43:48
so that's some serious mileage in not a
43:50
lot of time someone drove this thing
43:52
like a like it was a daily driver just
43:54
around that's wild it's got a Georgia
43:56
truck play like a like a like they only
43:58
put those plates on like semis and stuff
44:01
but it is that the pter but the thing I
44:04
was going to say to you about 63 amgs
44:05
the very next car live is something that
44:08
I think you would appreciate what is it
44:10
it is this ml63 this is the only car I
44:14
have ever seen with a widebody kit that
44:16
looks good and honestly I kind of think
44:18
this looks better than Factory I'm kind
44:21
what insane look at this this isn't so
44:23
bad I don't know I have no
44:25
idea heard of them does this not look
44:28
too terrible it weirdly looks it looks
44:31
nice right it looks decent for sure it's
44:32
kind of a tasteful wi bu I don't hate it
44:35
and I was thinking when I was looking at
44:36
I was like Nick this is a Nick this is
44:38
some Nick stuff I adore the ml63 for the
44:42
same reason we talked about that the the
44:44
motor itself sounds and looks amazing
44:46
you got 500 plus horsepower in a family
44:49
SUV and you can buy these I don't know
44:51
about the the widebody version but the
44:53
non- widebody versions everyone's afraid
44:56
of the the head stud issue but it's
44:58
they're pretty affordable power this one
45:00
does not have the original AMG V8 this
45:02
is a twin turbo V8 so it doesn't have
45:03
the headbolt thing um it's the nextg
45:05
model uh so it's got even more power and
45:07
I had this motor in an E63 it's
45:09
perfectly reliable but I think that this
45:11
screams you it's also in Portland Oregon
45:12
maybe a Cayenne replacement for your
45:14
family car that's pretty cheap
45:17
shipping yeah you want to buy my
45:19
958 yeah kind of all right all right we
45:22
can make desert challenge this is a
45:23
great opportunity for us oh all they C
45:26
through the this would be like selling
45:27
getting your wife into the SRT8 Jeep oh
45:31
yeah it's just a quaint little Mercedes
45:33
SUV that's so true it's just what it
45:35
looks like the fenders yeah because they
45:36
want to be sporty uh okay we're going to
45:38
move on now to questions questions
45:41
questions now remember you too can ask
45:44

46:16
however I have never collabed with
46:19
whistling and that is one of my life
46:21
great regrets you know we could fix it
46:24
it's like how astronauts are like yeah
46:25
but I never made it to them moon like
46:29
Whistlin opportunity might still strike
46:32
Whistlin is my hero and a lot of people
46:36
don't feel this way like a lot of car
46:37
enthusiasts don't like whistling diesel
46:39
because he blows up cars but that's why
46:41
I like him I mean I would say like like
46:44
if I were to put like top reason why I
46:46
like him it's that he blows up cars sure
46:48
um you know the dude launched a
46:50
helicopter in a building right and
46:53
that's rare that's rare that's good
46:55
content and I who review cars and I'm
46:58
very careful with them I've always
47:00
wanted to blow up them right like like
47:02
how cool would it be if for the damson
47:04
Bentley to just be blown up um but I
47:08
can't do I can't do that and so I
47:11
idolize whistling and so I have done
47:13
videos with other YouTubers but
47:15
never the Pinnacle never the Pinnacle
47:19
well if he's listening I think you got a
47:20
great idea with the Nissan Leaf road
47:22
rage experiment it's a good durability
47:25
test concept remember when you got us
47:26
that whistling diesel uh gift yeah yeah
47:29
it's over here somewhere yeah he had
47:31
already sold out of the Ferrari so that
47:32
was the G wagon that had been destroyed
47:34
but Nick whist and Diesel at one point
47:36
destroyed a G wagon and he sold parts of
47:38
it to finance his channel and his
47:40
existence and Nick bought me as a
47:44
present part of it and it's the greatest
47:46
present I've ever been given totally I
47:48
knew you'd like it and it was uh little
47:50
spendy for what it is but what was it
47:53
how C like 300 bucks way are you serious
47:55
maybe it was 200 but it was it was like
47:57
more than the usual impulse number that
47:59
I am comfortable with like your M
48:01
already popped collar shirt was 100
48:02
bucks Dam not spending money for a gag
48:06
gift and I like that
48:08
nope so anyway that's the answer to that
48:10
question uh Whistlin if you're out there
48:12
please I actually have his number I
48:14
texted him once or twice I don't think
48:15
he cares about me like he he gets so
48:18
many more views and he blows up stuff
48:20
that I think he's like that guy right I
48:23
need to watch a review what the car was
48:25
original right he's like I don't care
48:26
about looks I care about how it looks
48:28
when I push it down my Hill you know
48:31
right when I on fire in a corfield I
48:33
feel that dude different okay next
48:35
question from also from core to ran same
48:37
person who asked first question wow lots
48:39
of uploaded questions maybe upad create
48:41
like 20 accounts upload what are when
48:44
you should do that by the way what are
48:46
the group's thoughts on the new Scout EV
48:49
that will finally be released on
48:50
September 24th was that released today I
48:52
thought it was October I haven't seen
48:54
thing about itday we're we're recording
48:56
this on September 24th I'm familiar of
48:58
course with the the Scout EV well it's
49:00
made the wave so much that none of us
49:02
are aware that it's launched well I will
49:04
say October 24th is a reveal day October
49:06
24th that's what I thought um I it seems
49:09
like it might be cool but honestly but
49:11
it says Volkswagen is seeking 10% of the
49:13
US truck Market by 2030 did you hear
49:15
that because Volkswagen owns the Scout
49:16
brand now well I'm familiar with them
49:17
owning the Scout brand the that's an
49:19
ambitious goal for a company that has
49:22
never as a brand come anywhere close to
49:25
that zero or maybe they're counting
49:28
Atlas and stuff well they have an amarok
49:30
cab Cabriolet in Europe right t- a
49:33
totally different I feel like I should
49:35
show you the tck Cabriolet actually he
49:37
doesn't know what the amarok is he
49:38
doesn't know what either of them the
49:39
amck they sell in Mexico it's a cool
49:40
Volkswagen pickup I want one of those
49:42
they sell The t- Rock in Mexico too I
49:44
think I love the Press photo for this at
49:47
this woman she's got to have like a b a
49:49
Shaw cuz she can't cuz her hair is
49:50
getting blown around it's a reminder
49:52
that your hair could get blown around
49:53
unless of course you don't want OS tigan
49:57
basically that's exactly what it is but
49:59
it's it's much smaller it's smaller it's
50:02
it's an EOS it's house it's an EOS to
50:05
it's actually not related it's an EOS to
50:07
it's actually not related to the to to
50:09
EOS I I'm really sorry but it's not
50:11
actually related to the EOS to the the
50:15
the the to are related to an SUV that
50:17
they sell in China not not to the The t-
50:20
Rock just like alphabet soup that's how
50:22
they're naming their cars now they're
50:23
all winds the tck famously wind oh they
50:26
used to do that but they're all gone
50:27
golf was my favorite win um okay the
50:30
answer to the question is I excited for
50:32
the Scout I imagine Volkswagen will
50:33
screw it up don't you think they usually
50:35
screw things up but like how hard can it
50:37
be how hard could it be to create the
50:39
bring back the bus and yet they gave us
50:41
the long wheelbase one five years after
50:43
they first announced it no they're not
50:45
on sale and it cost $75,000 they screwed
50:48
it up they screwed up the bus but there
50:50
is a different brand doesn't count they
50:52
going to screw this up too it's what
50:54
they do the thing that Volkswagen does
50:55
best is other brands scoda great brand
50:58
now SE not but closer to being great
51:01
maybe that's all they can accomplish the
51:03
um I'm I'm am excited for the Scout but
51:06
I don't have High Hopes it's like the
51:09
right move on they're flesh with all
51:11
that tomato sauce money now ketchup
51:14
ketchup you say ketchup I say tomato
51:18
sauce my God you're so problematic okay
51:23
next question from CJ Jeep rollover a
51:26
Jeep lover I am very weary of if I
51:29
should just buy a scout in 26 two Scout
51:31
questions or wait for another electric
51:33
jeep hybrid um also why hasn't BMW even
51:36
tried to make an off-road or truck or
51:38
SUV I'm actually going to skip the first
51:40
question because I don't know anything
51:41
about the Scout yet nobody else does and
51:43
also you should just go to your local
51:45
Jeep dealership and say I'll pay you
51:47
$100 a month if you let me take your
51:49
regular 4 by and they will yeah I got
51:51
100 a month what do you got and they be
51:52
like will be literally any of our
51:54
products they'll be like well sir do you
51:55
uh you want to get into the Jeep you
51:57
want to own the deal do you want to own
51:58
the dealership for 100 a month I think
51:59
that buys you the the last time I rented
52:01
a car I rented like a midsize or
52:03
something they offered me a Wrangler 4
52:05
by and then I heard them offer Wrangler
52:07
4 by to every other person that came in
52:10
a bad sign okay the other part of this
52:11
question though was interesting why
52:12
hasn't BMW even tried to make an
52:14
off-road or truck or SUV okay here's
52:16
don't pretend they haven't they never
52:17
did they did no I'm so sorry no no the
52:20
original X5 had a crawler gear first
52:23
gear was a crawler gear yeah but the
52:24
point was the crawler he's asking CW
52:28
it's a question about the G wagon does
52:29
youro have a crawler gear it's an auto
52:31
the G wagon the GW and it does have a
52:34
low range so yeah the G wagon is very
52:37
successful and popular the Lexus LX is
52:39
an off-roader type thing thanks for not
52:42
say successful popular because we we all
52:43
know there are periods where it was
52:45
other luxury brands have made off-roader
52:47
SUVs Lamborghini lamu hey yep trans
52:51
Siberia Cayenne trans Siberia Cayenne
52:54
Huracan stado how about that we're we
52:57
off-road res SUVs are so popular we're
52:59
making sports cars into them Raptor by
53:02
the way anyway luxury it's like 90 grand
53:05
I don't know the raptor r is like
53:08
$200,000 the inos Grenadier inos
53:11
Grenadier yeah how about every Land
53:12
Rover Defender that new Defender the
53:14
OCTA have are you familiar with the
53:15
discovery sport you know Defender still
53:17
selling like crazy the D suppli is like
53:19
two anyway the point of the question is
53:21
why hasn't BMW competed in this segment
53:23
and I think it's a great question and I
53:25
totally agree and you know what the
53:26
thing of it is that that makes it such a
53:28
topical question the XM was intended to
53:30
be that the XM was trying to rival the G
53:32
wagon they were like okay BM Mercedes
53:35
has This SUV at the top of their product
53:37
range that's actually less practical
53:38
than the less like the G wagon is
53:40
smaller than a GLS but more expensive
53:42
and yet they sell every one of them so
53:44
BMW was like why can't we do that and
53:46
they they so they came out with the XM
53:48
they're thinking Mercedes has this
53:49
off-road thing locked down what does BMW
53:51
do well this off this this performance
53:53
thing and boy is that failed I I think
53:56
they saw the G wagon and realized no
53:58
single human has ever taken one Offroad
54:00
a new one and like oh people don't care
54:02
about that yeah but they misunderstood
54:03
the image they understood the a huge
54:05
component of the G wagon is the fact
54:07
that it looks like it's tough and the XM
54:10
the XM looks like you got talked into
54:13
something that's such a great point it
54:15
really really really does I mean like
54:18
look at this and that one's black black
54:20
like that's okay that's the best color
54:21
combo yeah and and and it's also just
54:24
bad like the performance isn't that
54:27
I've never seen one on plates and
54:29
including that one which I deal plates
54:31
here here's a good XM there's the XM
54:33
that you want uh anyway it's a great
54:35
question and I think that realistically
54:37
if automakers want to have a a um
54:40
Flagship SUV the whole thing about an
54:42
SUV is it has to you want it to have
54:44
capability Land Rover has made a ton of
54:46
money selling people capability they'll
54:48
never use and so is the G wagon and so
54:50
is the Raptor and so is Jeep honestly y
54:53
the only successful Chrysler brand etc
54:55
etc and like BMW should I I think that
55:00
they wanted to do the products correctly
55:02
like if they did an off-road they want
55:03
us to be good off-road nobody cares
55:05
nobody cares they misunderstood they
55:06
should make it look Bron Toyota TRD Pro
55:09
right people I mean those are those
55:10
every TRD Pro ever made has sold at
55:12
sticker except the original no Camry
55:14
TD's ever gone Offroad so I I just it
55:16
just there's such a market right now
55:17
there's such an image thing off-roaders
55:18
people are spending $300,000 on Offroad
55:20
sprinters etc etc you could take this
55:22
all the way down um BMW should have done
55:24
it and it's it's I think it's a missed
55:26
that they didn't and they did this
55:27
instead what a stupid car you know what
55:29
I just realized a friend of mine was
55:30
mentioning off hand they were they were
55:32
behind the BMW that didn't have any BMW
55:33
badges it only had them on the window
55:35
and it's just in this moment that it
55:36
clicked this is it they were behind an
55:38
XM and that's the biggest surprise of
55:40
all of this that somebody in the wild
55:43
was behind an XM random person and I'll
55:45
say to to bring it all together the XM I
55:48
think followed the manari
55:50
brief it does which is make it
55:52
ostentatious even if it's ugly people
55:55
will know you spent 200
55:56
on a car that's worth about half that
55:59
and now it's worth 70 grand grand that
56:01
was the brief and they nailed the
56:03
assignment yeah they so did it was like
56:05
cuz they wanted to compete with the gag
56:07
in the like crazy money like just Rich
56:09
look at me and boy did they and boy do
56:11
people look at them and yikes needless
56:14
to say whistling diesel ain't taken
56:16
apart of BMW XM but he should he should
56:18
he should so much cheaper but then
56:20
people would love him for it that's I
56:22
think part of his brand is based on hate
56:23
right okay that's our podcast the
56:25
greatest podcast we've ever done Nick
56:27
any parting thoughts man am I
56:30
sorry all right goodbye everyone
