RCR isn't a car guy. I wouldn't listen to what he has to say. Check out the X5 though.

The guy should have stuck to teaching. Used to watch him religiously but ever since he came out of the closet he's become so fucking smug. I like DeBoss Garage, Car Wizard, and 2StrokeTurbo

He's on the same vibe as guys like Lowtax, Ethan Klein and the other young Gen X/OId Millenials who think they can be the left leaning version of Dennis Miller by throwing out absurdist jokes anchored by a historical or literary reference to make it seem smarter than it actually is. His eventual embarrassing suicide will make for a great throw away joke for someone in the RIP thread, atleast

You know it's getting bad when he makes so many mistakes that you start feeling like you could be an automotive journalist. At least I know the cylinder configuration of a Jeep Wrangler

I have great disdain for what passes as "automotive journalists" these days. 99% of them read off a spec sheet like MKBHD and make some vapid comments on the look and feel of interior materials used. You almost never get any insight about the car, even if it's a sports car being reviewed.

Hoovie is pretty good. I'm not much for luxury cars but he makes it pretty fun

He's alright, but I don't see him as a journalist really. He's more of an entertainer/blogger who happens to produce informative (sometimes) videos on older cars.

If I have to hear some dipshit complain about hard materials on the top of the dashboard as if anyone gives a flying fuck about something they'll never actually touch save to dust it, it'll be too soon.

Very specifically, all I want from the top of the dash is that it's not reflective. Harder plastics everywhere else wear better and are preferable, particularly on door cards.

I missed out on getting a cheap 4x4 Mitsubishi mighty max locally. I feel like the pic below

The XJ my buddy bought on trail went back together surprisingly easy. The engine didn't blow up, it vapor locked and had a bad leak on the head gasket and water pump that made it look worse than it was. Some new gaskets, new filters, fresh oil, new belts and a coolant flush have it running decent. We're gonna throw new plugs and wires on Saturday and start getting it ready to hand over to my buddy's 15 year old son

Anyone here ever buy a car off Copart or similar car auction site? I almost did a few years back wondered if anyone had a positive experience buying a an as-is car?

It's insane to see you yanks writing about huge trucks and gas guzzlin' v8s. I'm here stuck in Europe, seeing the prices on cars climb higher.
I've been looking for a project car for so long and now all the prices are skyrocketing it's insane.

It's pretty funny cause I've seen some Copart auctions won by Euros on cars that sold for under $10. I guess they deem it still worth it even after the shipping fees across the ocean.

I always see the Georgians (the country not the state) bid on BMW's

Yeah, but that shit is a death trap where I live.

Funnily enough, the cheapest cars I find here are imported American ones.

Typical case of subpar trash GM quality. Some models are good and have a following like the LS1 powered G8, Trans Am, and Fiero. The Vibe is basically a rebadged Toyota Corolla hatch.
