I Dumped $30,000 Into the World's Ugliest Car 

i would highly recommend not working with this company because they suck !! :) just do a little research on their controversies

doubt you guys see this but i had a x-90 that i turbod back in the day and it made it so much better. turbo that lil 1.6 and let it eat

Better Help is NOT a good company

don't sponsor this anymore, this company gives 0 craps about their "patients" (more like customers) and since they dont need to abide by HIPAA laws in typical Facebook owned companies fashion your information is now on the internet for sale, its better to look for therapy wherever you are, if you dont believe me just look it up

I don't need help! I have myself to talk to!!

can you chris fix a 1990 toyota corolla

The boss of soapy water itself

U r the boss 👌🏼

So glad to see you here! Love your channel!

Jesus ❤❤

seriously great work man

🐐

Your job looks absolutely amazing

awesome job there man

Robbys the MVP on this one

you're singlehandedly responsible for what made that car pop. amazing job.

Maybe only one day but that one day made it look amazing. Definitely took it up a few steps.

Fucking mind blown, you did an amazing job dude, wish you were closer to Michigan lol

i swear jay leno is bassically my grampa

I love the retro graphics, it really makes the car

I mean u can buy those with pretty good paint for less than 10. Bad paint for less than 5.

@@eddiedunfield7259that’s my Porsche 944 it’s all stock paint and motor I only paid 4K for it

I mean, technically if you wanna be pedantic, the x90 also wasn't done for under 30k either...

@@mikey_bb its still alot closer to 30K than a Porsche any day of the week. Technically speaking you are right.

Totally doable, there's multiple for sale near me for ~$10k in shockingly good condition.

Coming out? 💀🏳️‍🌈

@@YerbaLeonMatestfu u ain't funny bru

you guys did a impeccable job !

@@YerbaLeonMate 🌈gay donut!🍩

Not the best choice of words

I noticed they used a brake-drum puller, any reason for not using them for your brake changes?

@@palmerwoolworth4250then they wouldn’t have any content lol

@@palmerwoolworth4250 Southern car that was running and driving versus Northern car sitting for 30 years, rust is natures Arc welder 😂

seriously? wow... I will pass on those before it then. so much Discovery Channel - Airline disasters vibes. rewinding, rewinding again. like 10 min of footage, voiceover, and more rewinding

​@nabassu it was an amazing video. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Tehe ;)

I say he can’t brush his hair!!

Hoping to eventually be able to afford having them put a blower on my coyote in a few years

Except, if it wasn’t such a high profile RU-vidr project, nobody would have known the effort that went into it and they wouldn’t have won anything. The competition is still very much about checkbook. 🙄

Should of started at 29:00 😂

The amount of “money” that went into this project that didn’t count against the 30k is pretty insane though. Def a rule bender but I’m not Jay Leno so who cares what I say.

@@StevenHawkingsSpitrag no its not

@@StevenHawkingsSpitrag I agree, this was not a $30k restoration. However, I bet it was the most amount of effort put into any of the vehicles in the class. You can trip and fall over a 944 in great condition for under $30k, but people like a story, even if the numbers are fudged. The sad part is that some viewers might think they can tackle a rust bucket project like this on a budget while most of us know it's always better to just buy the best example you can afford and start there.

He’s also just a cool guy. Man helped me fix my brakes when I had to get home one time!

I need Jay Leno’s assistance

Scotty Kilmer too.

He is, it's a shame how the major networks did him

lowkey cheating ngl

​@@wietske3848not really, other contestants get parts donated, work done by volunteer, etc... it's not easy to completely restore a car for under $30k, it's pretty much always gonna require some donated funds or services.

You do lots of people participating do there own work meaning the parts and labor prices are different when diy and getting it done. They donated the paint job and wouldn’t overpass the budget

​@@wietske3848do you really think that Porsche would make it like that without someone donating?

I was thinking of it as cheating too, until I realized that if he'd said "my friend did the paint for me" I'd have no problem with it. They both mean essentially the same thing, but one I had a problem with, and the other I didnt.

Good for Donut for giving exposure to smaller car RU-vidrs.

@@nasilemak868ChrisFix has more subscribers than donut

Fr the soapy wooder should add the extra hps

@@westville1198 r/whoosh

@@westville1198 Isn't ChrisFix the biggest automotive youtuber?

dont forget the classic closing the doors from the glass

This is the comment I was searching for😂. I love that his build got the props it deserved but you’re totally right. Someone without the donut influence could not have put this build together at that price. Not to mention that 944 was sick.

Looked for these comments lol they literally paid $0 labor on everything there isn't a person on earth doing all that for nothing

@@F32_PDXI think every one else can do all this by themselves, and has more than 2 weeks, and has more good looking car from the factory

Imagine winning a boxing match so you can share the belt with the loser. Fanboys will excuse anything.

I think it was only a tie for the sake of the video/Donut connections. If not for that, it would have just been the sweet ass Porsche 944. And did you see the other cars there? I bet the X90 wouldn't have been top three.

I Swear I am going to go insane if you actually reply to this I love your channel so flipping much!

Give the man his reply @rcdriftok

^^Make this guy go insane, I wanna see it!😤

100% more road trips

Omg you’re so right, it does remind of those classic too gear specials. Cant wait till they have the money to back a trip across Africa in town cars.

Fax

More caryoutube gramps:)) Hes appering in more and more channels lately.

Agreed! Keep the colabs coming!

I liked how they worked in their shops colors in to the paint in a damn tasteful way

you literally can with the right editing xD

bro its so cringe lmao

This dude is obviously forcing everything.

@@jeremiah9913yeah bro got little man syndrome when the dog jumped on his car 😂😂😂

Absolutely! All of the collaborators on this project deserve mad respect; that car came out looking majestic! =D

Guess they’ll just have to fire Justin haha

He's one of the producers or directors I think so I don't think he has the time, but I'd love to see more of him as well. He's energetic and a good wrench!

This guy doesnt fit donut imo he has terrible vibes

You heard the boy, Donut don't fail!

Knowing that a minimum of 1m people will see your work is an easy sell tbh. Either way tho I love this

"colab" aka get a lot of work / parts for cheap/free LOL

Not much honor to be had when it was *given* to him because of who they are and who they represent. If this wasn’t a donut media video, Leno wouldn’t have even known who he was and they wouldn’t have won. We all knew he was going to win before the first 60 seconds of the video was up 🙄

@@StevenHawkingsSpitrag that's not really provable but it could be correct. We will never know

"Jay Leno is THE name in cars right now." As he has been for decades. "Right now" would imply Jay is some sort of fad in the automotive world.

@@jonshellmusic you know what I meant

@@StevenHawkingsSpitragit’s okay dude, you have really nice Porsche 944. Don’t be salty you had to share the win.

I’m a Honda Del Sol man myself

@@quintrapnell3605a del sol SI is a car id like to own some day

I remember when they were doing the Buy a Sidekick get a x90 Free promotion. Totally underrated for the time.

I live in Canada. I had a 4x4 maanual x90. Well it was my GF's but it became mine. Changed suspension, put some big tires. This thing was INCREDIBLE in the snow. Everyone would get stuck and i would just be on my merry way. This was in the earl 2000 and me and her were big on rave parties. We had black lights and neons inside, and they would flash following the bass. Installed a super big sound system in that small thing. It was our party machine. Such good memories. It will for ever be one of my most favorite car. Right next to my s12 200sx.

You need better dreams

You're putting it a lot better than I could have. I was done with this video after I heard the words, "it's free." One of the hands down most labor intensive parts of this project with ZERO inclination as to what it would cost, even to a fellow RU-vidr kinda makes the whole "budget" a wash and a cheat. And I'm reading through the comments that he won?? That's like cheating the numbers and winning a Lemons Race. NOT IMPRESSED.

​@@IndieBuildieyou do know part of the lemons race culture is to bribe and cheat right?

​@@IndieBuildie At the same time though, almost everyone who restores their car tends use the avenues they have available to them to make things cheaper. At some point we've all accepted free help and been the beneficiary of someone's generosity. When it comes to Lemons racing, anyone who competes in them would have to use a ton of freebies in order to stay "within the rules," and I'm sure half of the other people in that competition had well over $30k worth of parts and labor into their cars. That being said, getting a paint job as nice as the one he got for free is a level of generosity that most people will never experience, so I do see where you're coming from with your disdain. However, just like the Lemons cars, I think that the majority of people feel that the importance lies more in the "spirit of the competition" than it does in saving every receipt so that you can prove you've spent exactly $29,998.67 on your build. A lot of people probably feel the same way you do about this kind of thing too though so who knows which way is the right way to look at it.

​@awaffa2003 @Shortstuffjo Don't forget he had a rust-free body in tow to swap out before the paint job. To properly paint the original body would take weeks to complete & could've cost $20k easy.

@@LeonaLinscott-cy6dz Yeah it's hard to argue that he didn't get the RU-vid discount for sure.

That thing is dope af.

​@@m1germsy784let me slide an eXXXtra DOPE.

True

I've laughed to tears watching Donut videos before... but I think this is the first one that made me feel... feelings.

So true. Everything!
