This channel is dedicated to all things auto! I can be reached at Autohound411@gmail.com with any questions.
My goal is to provide unique content with test drives, car shows, auto parts, best movie cars, model cars, and so much more. I post every Wednesday and Friday @ 11am and always look forward to your feedback and comments.
If you want to see something, I will be more than happy to hear your suggestions. Please keep it respectful, please be kind, and please, be an Autohound like me. Remember, It's about the DRIVE!
@@autohound7099 well I don't have $250 to spend on car. But I sure like to watch them. Since back in the later 80s mid-90s somewhere in there. I bought two Porsche 914s. Still have them. Over the years I've had 911 & 944 as well. The 928 we're selling so cheap back in the 90s. Tell about 10 years ago and people started buying them. But back in the 90s, they still look great and they were selling for less than a Ford of the same year. Well I can only stuff so many of them in the barn anyway
@@autohound7099 I'd watch you drive it but I think those days are a little behind me now. NOT 🚫! I'd love to drive it to. Just not as aggressively as I once would!
Who cares. It's your car. If it gets swirl marks you can do a paint correction and it will look new again. My 2004 E63 has been through hundreds of car washes over the years and I just buff it out every 4-5 years or so.
Never really understood both having the money to buy cars like this, but then not pay for scheduled detailing or even missing maintenance intervals. But hey I don't own a porsche and never will, unless I find a reasonably priced 944 🤷
Ok, well. I always perform the maintenance on the car. The previous owner deferred the spark plugs and it cost me 1700 bucks. So I will always take care of that. As far as detailing, I used to be able to do that, but blew out my back and it’s challenging. The car has full PPF on the front and a three year ceramic coating. As for affordable Porsches. The Boxster 986 is about 12-14k for one in nice condition. The 944’s are actually higher and that is my next purchase if the wife allows it. But I do thank you for the comment.
@@autohound7099 oh well that's totally understandable, I suppose my original comment was made thinking about young guys that had that kind of money from easily secured positions. I especially understand the physical aspects of vehicle care because although I am young, my job certainly beats me up well enough that getting up and getting out on my off days doesn't always occur as it should. Enjoy it however it brings you the most joy, some people never enjoy their cars when they get too obsessed over details. I'll be getting my first new sports car soon and building a garage to keep it as well as doing a post purchase paint correction and ppf install. Some may say that's overkill for an MX-5 but it's what makes the most sense and within reason for my income so I want to treat it with as much care and respect as it deserves for something so relatively expensive.
@zenkoz3158 hey there. All cars deserve love and a Miata especially. They are what brought back the little convertibles and had it not been for them. Porsche never would have released the Boxster. Share pics. Put it on line and drive it every chance you get. My car will never be a garage queen and I make sure of that. If you’re ever in Boston. Lmk. You can take it with me on a drive.
@@autohound7099 absolutely, Im way down east Alabama but my wife and I certainly look forward to taking it around most of the US so I'll probably make it there eventually. It will be pampered when it comes to maintaining it mechanically and visually but I'm definitely not going to be shy about mileage. Luckily I'm in good hands with trusting Mazda that It'll last as long as I could ever want it to.
Still have to deal with left over water marks, doesn't spray under the car where the most dirt is, and your crazy if you don't think a high powered pressure washer doesn't spray around all the dirt in the place and scratch the surface of the paint.
Some argue that the chemicals used in those no-touch car washes are a lot harsher to the paint and other materials on the car compared to regular car washes, simply because these can’t rely on a brush scrubbing the dirt away. So I am still not so sure about it being a good solution. Plus, I enjoy hand washing my car!
Two different collisions then because there is no white Mercedes changing lanes in the first video and different cars getting hit. I think the first part of the clip shown is the second collision and the rear view clip is the first one.
I did not have any issues with it. I did wind up selling it because I wanted a new car though. I highly recommend one though for the reasons mentioned in the post.
