This $1.3 million Mercedes 300SL roadster made me cry tears of joy (I LITERALLY CRIED) 

Nice I didn't even catch that.

Awsome guy

And Hoovie, with the classiest reply "I don't want to take up any more of your time."

That's like if you just got home from a date with Jennifer Aniston and you were walking her to her door and about to bid her goodnight and she says "you don't have to leave".......

@@muskokamike127 You NAILED that one!

He had no clue what Tyler was saying 🤣

I love how no matter what class of car, you can't say VTEC without the Yo

Yessss

I can bet money that none of you have ever driven one, despite the fact that you'll lie and say you have, but Tyler has. I'ma trust his words over y'all's

@@aeroboozt9455 I’ve definitely driven a VTEC bro

Cars are not just cars. They can be to those who want that. But underneath, it _never_ is

What car was it?

Non car people will never understand the emotion it brings

I totally cried when I traded one of my cars in.. It was the first time I had bought a car that I actually wanted and not just what I could afford. As I'm looking at them taking off the plates while waiting on my new car to be ready, I start crying. The man standing beside me said: "Are you crying?" All I could say is: "I really loved that car!!" (btw, her name was Lafawnduh Lynette, she was an 05 Dodge Magnum in Inferno Red and I used to still see her around for years afterwards). I know I'm going to be a puddle of goo when I tried in my current vehicle. I bought him brand new 8.5 years and 176,000 miles ago.

I bought my "affordable dream car" last year. Both Carmax and Carvana right now will give me more than I paid for it. I got a very good deal during the panic part of the pandemic and now with the used car market being what it is, I could take the opportunity to have been paid for driving it for a year, but I just can't. I live in a high rise condo building. Between not having the expense of the car AND being able to rent my space in our parking deck to someone else, my cash flow would improve by a few hundred bucks a month. It's totally the wrong practical decision to keep it, but sometimes the heart beats the head.

I think Doug has that same appeal.

Unlike Shmee, who is a wiener who doesn’t know Mercedes existed before 2010

@@maxivy I don't enjoy his style at all. I can't even put my finger on why. Stradman is less informative but far more authentic.

@@maxivy Agreed. I respect him for his work ethic, but a very narrow automotive interest

@@joep4224 Yeah but he isn't into thrashed cars

He got the brand advert out to 1.3 million subscribers ... Definitely did his job well ...

It goes to show you how men can apply emotions to "things".....In 1990 I picked up my $100,000.00 boat from the marina....I shed a tear, not necessarily because of the value, or my love of it, but partially because here I was, a guy who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a boat that cost 20 times what my parents paid for their house.

Fantastic comments Scott, we need more praise for these’s guys who do work really hard, it’s a nice change from the usual negative opinions from the peanut gallery

So weird to see you here im subbed to you both and I know your channels..

Absolutely magical.

@@dashtesla Me too.

Unbelievable, the price starts making more sense when you hear it

Same, that was my exact thought

First road car with mechanical fuel injection.. I think

The body shape of a 300SL is better looking than many "modern" supercars, none of which have the racing heritage of the Merc.

The intake manifold and direct injection looks very clean and modern indeed...i noticed that too...and better looking than post modern plastic covered everything, LOL

In the near future, the Car Wizard is slowly becoming Poseidon. Amassing a fleet of battleships, cruisers, submarines, and other expensive to maintain vehicles - funded by Tyler Hoover buying up all the hoopties around the world. I'm not sure if he'd have an evil cat or an overly friendly dog though...

@@JosiahGould I feel like the Wizard would have a dog but at the same time it could go either way

Lmao love the comment

He’d make less money on this than he did on the leaking bentley

The Wizard, buys Karl Stromberg's place.

Hoovie driving a million dollar car with one hand while holding a camera!

😂🤣 Thought I was the only one who noticed that

He's European. Over here we don't do anything else while driving, only focus on driving. Phone users and people who apply make up are shunned on our roads, even picking up a chocolate bar or drink is discouraged even in normal cars. I wasn't too far behind him when he did that, and it isn't my head on the block if something goes wrong. :)

@@michaelcollins9210 and talking about it lol

So weird to see you here im subbed to you both and I know your channels..

Michael is great at his job!

Thank You for watching... Coukd you also do more video on channels dvr please

He was in an episode of UK's Top Gear.

Gear shifting with other!

Disrespectful and kinda moronic

@@BobbyDazzler888 Yaa, and Mercedes Guy very cool. I'd be "Hay 'dumb butt', drop the f...... camra and get both swetty paws on that steering wheel of my $1.3M car!"

and not wearing seatbelts

@@krimpet100 I don’t think they had seat belts, and definitely not shoulder belts

not 10, not 5, exactly 8 min ;)

Yeah, probably a part of our German culture. But not the worst... Interesting, I have dozens of clocks and watches in the house and love it.

It took precisely 17 seconds for me to read these comments.

i'm sure part of this was him/the dealership not wanting Hoovie to take that 1.2m car out joyriding for too long

@@Erikimo if that was the case he wouldn’t have invited him again

Hopefully you meant 'Lore' and not an edible dormouse....;D Completely Agree tho...

@@danstewart8218 Well, obviously lol!

I am amazed how easy the 190sl's are to drive!

Don't discredit your 190SL, it is a truly beautiful car.

@@TheWorldHasGoneNuts i would never!:)

@@FriendsChaser yes. I also own a 230 SL Pagode. Drives 10 times better. But the 190 is 10x cooler😅😄

@@Privatprofil aaah that sounds lovely! Ive yet to drive a pagode. Are the seats as comfortable?

you know that car would probably nuke itself anyways :D

Cheating on a Countach is like cheating on an italian girlfriend. She says she don't mind but...she mind and she's got revenge on her mind.

‘What have you got in your apron?’💍💄📿⛑🧢🎓🎩💎

and when she went 🏸🏓🏒🏑🏏🎳🎱

Oh it watched him do it, it knows.

@Dominick for once.

I wouldn't be mad at all. he even cried after driving this car. go live your dream Hoovie!!!

But then he wouldn't be able to make all the videos, and would lose income.

Honestly, instead of a bunch of supercars, I think a bunch of weird hoopties and then one extremely desirable halo car is a much better fit for him.

Have u considered mercedes sales? Car sales aren't crazy hard to get into. U don't really even technically need college education for most

My grandfather had a few dealerships in Nova Scotia and I picked through all the old dealer catalogues from the 40s and 50s. There was nothing else to do over there lol. Amazing designs.

Have you considered just buying one?

@@wesleybarnett6671 I'm too nerdy to be able to hold a job where you don't sit in a chair all day browsing memes :)

​@@DoctorSkillz It's way too expensive even as a replica. Even if I managed to cobble together the money somehow, I doubt I'd be able to drive it much due to depreciation and the fact that a collision with even the smallest modern car will turn it into a pancake. Plus, my country has 100+% import duty on foreign cars. My achievable dream car is an e39 or a Citroen C6 or maybe even a 190E or an SEC if I get lucky.

When Tyler took the camera to film the steering wheel I could feel Michael clench up through my screen.

When he said it was the perfect daily driver, I was like "Yeah I totally want some uninsured chick on her cell phone in a Ford Focus plowing into the back of this thing at a red light"

@@rwdplz1 Yeah, but he probably meant how it was designed to be. As in during the era it was made. Or also just as a statement that it still would be if not for other factors such as that, value, etc.

Ya i wouldnt go past 2mph

the dude looked like a nervous wreck the entire drive

I was smiling the whole time with him. And I hate Mercedes....

@@mgabbard lots of people hate Mercedes but almost nobody hates this one, it's the greatest car they've ever made and his reaction says everything 😌

*all-time

Very cool guy.

I don't know why I can't stand Shmee150. Maybe it's his voice or maybe I'm just jealous. Seems like a nice enough guy, must be me lol

@@SavedbyHim Boy, can I relate to that. Maybe it's also what comes across as ZERO humility.

@@SavedbyHim I think it's the persona that he presents. He's made a point of separating Tim from Shmee150, and it has worked quite well for him. Personally, I feel the same way as you. I sometimes watch Shmee150 but not much 🤷‍♀️. There's just something that I don't like watching much. Tim is a different story though. I quite like watching stuff where he's not doing the whole Shmee150 stuff

Shmee is a prick 😂

Agreed. Search American cars party tricks. Old Tech is so Rad!

Till it breaks.

We once had an old Toyota Corona sedan with the same horn ring turn signal switch assembly - Toyota must have copied Mercedes-Benz!

Really great cars. Ridiculously priced, but awesome.

Pagoda Benz for the win. Not too exotic that you can't enjoy it but a feast for the eyes to behold its lines. And has that same husky straight 6 snarl. I can't watch Intersection for what they did to that car. I can only hope it was a dressed-up turd.

Yep, buy the damn car Hoovie. As car people, we understand…

Honestly though. You can only drive so many cars at once - may as well get that one you want

And I would be ok with that. Just seeing the joy on his face when he drove it made me smile so much.

And the video after that, "Here'$ everything that'$ wrong with my Mercede$ 300SL."

Wonder what the hoovie price is.

And none of us would mind!

It's important to note that there is not one flat surface on the body of the 300. Put that in context of the 1940's-50's....simply amazing.

Good idea

This is the best idea

acutally yes but instead give me the money

I'm down for that.

was nothing that she would 🙄🤗😍😄

Damn I love that bro

This 26 mile drive an the coastal drive are the best in the world. It's like driving in a painting.

@@craighearn747 "some of". Here are a couple more that I've experienced. Blueridge Parkway - international award winning Skyline Drive - Shanandoah Valley vistas Barcelona to Carcasonne across the Pyrenees Gaspe Penninsula Riff Mountains on the Mediterranean Coast of Morocco

Yeah I just can't be the average car owner even when I try. I bought a 25 year old car for $700 and I told myself I am NOT going to care for it, just drive it until the wheels fall off! Fast forward 3 months later and I have fixed everything on the engine, done a tune up, fixed all the broken trim on it, fixed all the rust, done a full detail, aaaand I'm planning on doing a full engine rebuild so it doesn't burn oil. How do people just run their cars into the ground? I can't bring myself to do it.

To be honest, I'd rather have the gullwing but even before that, the 280...in offwhite, blue top, white interior.

That's why paint protection film was invented.

If a pebble hits it, take it like a man : ) I can understand the collector mindset but I'd never restore a classic car to level 1 concourse for this reason. These cars should be driven with gusto.

Oh cmon it's not like you would daily drive it and you can protect it even further with a wrap

New mercedeses unfortunatly look the same like all cars do sad

Ehh, I think the W211 is still pretty special. I drive a W203 wagon which is just about one of the easiest cars to drive, very comfortable, reliable (with the M112 V6) but the interior quality is outpaced by the same year Toyota Camry, W211 is much nicer materials wise. At least W203 parts are similarly inexpensive like a Camry, my brother's E500 wagon has some pricey parts. I can't really comment too much on the other newer models as I haven't driven them but my parent's 2003 Sprinter they got new has been pretty good. My favorite Mercedes is a W201Sportline but I also adore the W123 (prefer a 240D to a 300D for weight balance) and W116. Also have a W124 which I have a love-hate relationship with due to the HVAC system being annoying to service and parts are getting harder to find.

How will he buy it? He said he was broke and needed our $12.69/month so he can buy shitty old BMWs while sitting in his mini mansion with 30+ cars in his garage and friends hangar. Don't you understand how tough things are these days??

@@drags666 oh dam i forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. Suppose i better buy some more merchandise of the poor guy, i don't like the thought of him going bankrupt or his wife and children having to give up their daily dose of smoked salmon. 😁
