Car Guys aren't exactly the most financially responsible group of people, as they love endless money pits, but it only gets worse from there. A lot of noob car enthusiasts have a really strange sense of priorities, that is often a result of modern internet and clout culture. There was a time 20 years ago where it was well known knowledge a house doesn't depreciate as quickly as a car, but straight up, millenials and Zoomers really out here thinking Exotic Cars are, "investments". Funniest joke I've heard in a while. Thanks for making this jaded boomer laugh, now sit down and listen to the lecture this ol mid life crisis weeb is gonna throw your way.
Also while making this video, I searched for Astolfo photos to make that trap joke, only to get straight up distracted to the point I spent the next two hours looking at some nice sauce of him. Yo, he's hot asf, no cap.
Also, no bromo.

8:36 onwards was a jab at one of my Personal friends in ATL, I even say, "Expensive apartment in Downtown ATL" Yet people somehow think I'm firing shots at Stradman???? A RU-vidr I've only spoken *positively* about on this channel yet some people out here trying to put words in my mouth??😂 Stradman owns land, his cars are a tax write-off (Since he's a content creator), and his videos make back more money than the depreciation the cars suffer. Y'all must not understand his special case if you think he's in any way shape or form, qualified to make this list. He's not falling for any money traps anytime soon! His check only goes up BAYBEE!!!

So this is about one of Bladed's points, buying obscure cars to be cool. My dad recently bought an E36 M3 because he had a couple when he was younger, and wants them again. The previous owner told him that someone wanted to buy that E36 for their TEEN SON. He said that he wasn't gonna sell it to him, even though he was offering a pretty high price to buy the car. He knew that the kid couldn't take care of the car, so he didn't sell it to him.

@mrribba3122 3 года назад

Yeah, a lot of people does that. But Bladed Angel clearly don't know that much about the physics behind cars. Because decreasing the weight of the wheels isn't so much about decreasing the overall weight of the car, but first and foremost to decrease the weight of the unsprung mass. So yeah, you can easily reduce the overall mass of the car by removing sound deadening, removing the spare wheel and a lot of other ways that you would decrease the weight more then if you only put on forged wheels. But your unsprung mass will still be the same, with all the disadvantaged that will give you. So lighter wheels will make your car handle better, accelerate better, it will also be more comfortable and it will also reduce wear and tear on the suspension. And those are benefits that you will experience in you daily driver as well as you track day car, even if it's debatable how noticeable that benefit will be. But if it's worth it, well that's another matter. So I don't completely disagree with Bladed Angel overall assessment, but he missed the point about weight saving.

RIGHT??? And you'll get a much more noticeable gain in performance. Forged Wheels are deadass the last mod people should be doing on their build. Where they've already stripped their interior, deleted the back seats, added Carbon Fiber everywhere and are like, "Well fuck I guess it's time to finally lose weight on wheels". Like I fully understand why a track car would get Forged Wheels. Every single pound counts to them and also the strength of Forged is very noticeable after endurance sessions. But even short Auto-crossing or Drag Race events taht most car guys do, we're fine with just normal Cast Wheels or Flow Formed Wheels. Like Flow Formed is so underrated, and such a good budget middle ground!

@DrEtzor 3 года назад

The idea behind forged wheels is that your losing the weight that matters most, the weight that directly is in touch with the road and the weight that has an effect on your drivetrain, there's a reason why an old Alfa Romeo had the brakes on the sides of the transmission at the front and at the sides of the rear differential, it was to remove weight from the far end of the drivetrain, causing less wear and made the car also more agile if i don't remember wrong, however that is the only car that i know of to have that style of braking system and it was very expensive to design and build, likely. I'm not going to go full on engineer on the specifics of it but yeah, there is an actual benefit for having lighter wheels and it makes more of a difference overall than having weight off of the rest of the car. Drivetrains are very, very inefficient to begin with anyway, the loss to simple friction stacks up quite fast when you start thinking that how many parts the power goes through and then you multiply that by the fact is it a four wheel drive or a two wheel drive and is it a FWD or RWD, is it a FR, FF, MR, RR car et cetera.

+1 for getting a garage first. Also like your advice on making sure you can take care of the "cool car" you buy. I bought my 95 M3 with a lot of issues for 4500 bucks. I'm probably into it for another 7k now but I've made it nice enough that now it want to nip its couple of rusty spots in the bud. Goodbye more money! Not modding for a while seems like good advice for newer cars, but I got a lowered suspension out the gate with my M3 since it had 3 blown shocks and 2 broken springs...

Sprung weight is VERY different than unsprung weight. The 10lbs+ of weight saved on the wheels is equivalent (performance wise) to MUCH more sprung weight.

There are a lot of dual abbreviations so it’s acceptable, most people argue whether it means actually buying a Japanese car vs a Japanese manufacturers car

My friends consider me "quirky and unique" because even though I'm a car enthusiast, having a running Honda Accord will never not be my #1 priority. I talk up my Accord as though it were a V12 Lambo. In fact, if I had a V12 Lambo, I could sell it and buy like 10 more Accords.

Are you half the population of my town? You could see almost every gen of accord at least twice before you make it to the other side of town, all running of course.

@GeeFreshman 3 года назад

6:20 so I would actually like to defend the forged wheel bois. The difference between static mass and rotational mass are completely different. Those 10-15 lbs of weight savings on rotational mass = better mpg’s, faster acceleration, and shorter braking distance.

The earliest pitfall you can land in: thinking you need to buy a car with much hp. You can tune the engine, switch it out and more. This is why pure hp and other stats don't matter.

@dom-cx1dk 3 года назад

6:00 that's where I might have to disagree. Rotating mass is roughly 300% harder to accelerate than unsprung weight. This means if you were to drop the 5 pounds listed in your example, you would actually be losing an equivalent to 60 lbs. I do, however, agree that forged wheels are incredibly expensive and buying them is (for the most part) somewhat unnecessary. That being said, build your car to be YOURS and Merry Danksgiving!
