Everything to promote the cars for sale on his vehicle auction site, go figure

His name is Douglas?

Douglas La de Muoro 😂😂😂

What is the time stamp pls?😔

@@benjaminrivera4585 watch video plz

@@benjaminrivera4585 21:19...pay attention to the left side of the screen. You'll see it as soon as he turns the corner.

@@bradley163 lol.. later! 👋

458 and laferrari are gorgeous also, c'mon!

@@Psych0technic LaF was nice, sure, but 458 never did anything for me personally. I still maintain the 599 was my personal last favourite modern stallion!

After this Ferrari really got into the "look at me!" styling. Their grand tourer cars used to be classy and just subtle enough, now they're going after the "look at my Ferrari!" crowd.

​@@whitebuffalo4904 100% agree. I feel the 599 and GTO is waaay underrated. The design is so timeless

Agree on the 599 GTO! Wouldn’t mind a 458 though. That sound!

I'll Second this!

He needs to sell cars on his auction website now, unfortunately no time for research anymore.

I remember being intrigued by this car when it came out. Now it has definitely grown on me.

One of my first hot wheels cars was a yellow one of these

They were supposed to build only 80, but in reality they made at least 140 SA Apertas.

I’ve seen 1 Aperta in Blue with the B pillar in silver. It’s so beautiful in person. It been like 10 years ago since I’ve seen it but I won’t forget. Saw here in Redmond, WA (Microsoft HQ is located) There is a car show called Exotics@RTC (Redmond Town Center) on every Saturdays 9am-11am from Spring to early fall and only cancels when it rains. They have special days like Bugatti Day, Ferrari Day and Lamborghini Day etc. I even got to see 3 Alfa Romeo 8Cs at once and 3 Ford GTX. It’s a crazy show. Should check their website. It’s crazy

I know the feeling too. A dual-clutch may be faster but if I'm driving a sports car, I want the engagement of rowing my own. I want to feel the connection between the engine and the wheels. Flipping a paddle on the back of the wheel isn't the same as coordinating all of your limbs to change and not stall the engine or dump the clutch (unless you want to dump the clutch).

Agreed. I've got a 2013 civic si with a 6 speed. She's not the fastest, but she always brings a smile to my face when I drive her. Going through all of the gears, blipping the throttle to rev-match the down-shift, all of it still makes me smile. I will always own a manual. The fact that 95% of people in the States aren't able to drive a manual makes it even better.

He should have been a Volvo mechanic. Volvo customers are generally wealthier than they appear. They are trying to hide their success,not flaunt it.

sounds about right, damn idiots with $$$ and they can't drive nor respect maintaining such performance-spec cars.

Knew a guy that had a shop that worked on nothing but bmws,Mercedes etc...he got burned out and sold the buisness...

@@777jones Yeah I second that. I know a gentleman in my town who run multiple Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant chains and daily drives an old volvo estate. He's definitely a low key wealthy guy.

@@metalpiston1212 i also know a guy with a pontiac Aztek, he doesn't seem rich but i think he is

yeah c'mon a car that everone wants to ride but noone paying for, that's reality.

exactly, F12 all the way here🙋

Same, the 812 is the only car in Ferraris current line up that interests me. The 458/speciale are the only V8 mid engine ferraris since the F40 that interest me these days. I used to lust after any ferrari but with time I become more discerning in my tastes.

Agree, F12 Tdf for me it's going to be a gem in the future. That car is insane.

812 GTS and Lusso are my favorites lol

550/575M

How's it holding up in Europe/ Germany?

@@rajgami8893 good enough to consider buying Ferraris.

@@rajgami8893 All good here, just a bit too cold but i live in the Alps. Hope all is good for you too!

Yeah, if you actually do it yourself and not pay 90 grand.. 😂

@@careunit6939 I think what he meant was close to ''Ferrari got this wrong, let me get it right''. If you get the money out of your perspective, then maybe you'll understand better. It's all focused on the desire. The idea of getting the joy of the manual back.

@@careunit6939 you realize only $30k of that was labor, the rest was cost of parts...

@@Melanie16040 not seeing your point. It's still 90,000$ for a conversion. If you think this is chump change then you're delusional/ loaded with a disgusting amount of money.

you know how many used manuals exist right?

@Blunt they do buy them… people complain that they aren’t available stock in a lot of cars

@Blunt What the hell are you on about? M5 and M6 were only available with a manual in the US, and the last manual sportscars are still american. Camaros, Mustangs and not so long ago the Viper and the C7 Corvette.

@Blunt No, that's not really the case. It's a catch-22. I am a European living in the US now and the ratio of manuals available here is really small. I have never owned anything but a manual, 4 and counting (2 used, 2 new). I bought 2 new manual ones (2018 Accord then traded for 2019 Bullitt). The catch is, manufacturers offer manuals only in sport cars or strip-down lowest trims, for the most part. So lot of times if you want heated seats, forget about manuals. And then manufacturers say "see, nobody wanted a manual." No, nobody wants cheap plastic interior without features, for the most part. That's why the Accord was awesome, pretty loaded 6spd. Used market obviously is the way, but that supply will run out eventually. And importing less than 25yo car from europe is extremely impractical.

@Blunt people buy them depending on the car. No one wants a manual Kia. Anyways, the reason we don’t use them here in America is simple. Our cities are large and the distances we travel are farther than that of other countries. We are also more advanced than countries like South America where long travel is still required. Living in Europe for a year showed me that Europeans are willing to use more environmentally and economically sound options when compared to America. People are lazy here sadly

Completely different presence in person for sure. I went to go see one recently and oh my god. It’s a small but beautiful rocket.

Joke over move on dork

The type of comment that suck

@@alexm1046 Actually no. I was thinking the same, watching the video and seeing him resting on his arms all over the trunk and hood...

​@peterkater4292 But the comment still sucks. Nobody eats off a hood...THAT would be poor manners.

@@joelspaulding5964 OK. So you don't get it, because you actually don't want to get it. Would this GTB be yours, would you like someone (try taking Doug out of the picture, please) to just elbow it and lie over it?

It's 85,000$ hack job on 1,300 miles Ferrari.

@@Tomislav_B. edit: (it's not from the factory) that's from the factory like that....they don't refinish the carbon fibre on the console....they just replace the F1 shifter with the manual.

@@muskokamike127 Nope that's an aftermarket piece that fits terribly. The factory automatic piece is completely different, and even the factory manual cars look nothing like this

@@vipergtsr I don't know that the factory ones look nothing like this, but you are correct: the conversion kit from eag says it includes a custom console.....I stand corrected.

That console sticks out like a sore thumb.

It's turd inside a leather interior of a 1,300 miles Ferrari

who cares??

Thanks for watching my videos, and congratulations for being my shortlisted winners, Telegram me for your gift🎁📩📩

The carbon fiber they used to build the trans center console looks terrible. They didn’t use enough resin or clear when making it and it looks bumpy as hell. Doesn’t look anywhere close to the carbon fiber used in the rest of the trim.

I just made a similar comment above, but you beat me to it. They should also be using something nicer than those disgusting Phillips-head screws.

They used all factory parts. That is how it would be from factory.

@@hughmac13 To be fair, Ferrari used the phillips screws from the factory

Makes you also wonder about other cut corners in the transformation😒

I'd be happy with a loaf of bread

@@Clarkeisawesome You do have some serious life aspirations.

Ull get there

or red w/ stripes

Same....

Ferraris look classy and sophisticated in dark colors. Red and yellow are overplayed.

What you need to understand is that this is one of the first 599 cars EAG did many years ago. They are very different now and they now also use a cable system rather than the shitty rod link shift system. This is a bit of a prototype so to speak and not at all indicative of what EAG do now and have done for a quite a few years now.

I mean there's people that daily drive manual myself being one of them. Not a big deal

you dont drive this car in traffic fam

@@strangeclouds7 My ex Inlaw had a converted 73 Vette, the clutch was a bitch but fun as hell to stomp on the gas 😁

Who's driving a one-of-a-handful manual 599 in bumper to bumper traffic?

This car is mid-engine

The 599 is also equally as beautiful imo

@@TheCarKrazeOfficial Yup, the 599 is amazingly beautiful. Just a slight bit on the large (especially tall) side.

Yes, I would've enjoyed the hell out of driving it if I spent 85k on a manual swap

You got into super legal speeds? What? You can't get it out of 2nd gear without getting a ticket? How about you take it out of 2nd gear and put it into 1st? Or just keep the revs low and drive it in 4th gear...

@@pistonburner6448 Duh! The comment was meant to say that you couldn't really enjoy it on US roads because you would be going way too fast to actually enjoy the performance of the car on the streets of St Louis. Seriously, if you were doing 100mph in 2nd gear on a regular basis (which is what I'd do if i had that ability I'd do at every stop light) I'd be ridiculous to own the car. On the other hand, the interior, like Doug mentioned, was fantastic. The seats were incredibly comfortable and the quality of the leather on every surface was beyond any other vehicle I've ever been in.

@@pistonburner6448 dont be a pedant. It is unbecoming. You obviously knew what he meant.

It doesn't. Ferrari dealerships got caught reprogramming the mileage. A MAJOR embarrassment to Ferrari. Can't believe any Ferrari mileage.

Nah he's the type of guy to take his wife to CNC Motors for their anniversary

Paid $85k so he could shift his own gears for a grand total of 45 minutes.

@@axe2grind244 he may have paid 85k but the car is also worth 100k more now

@@axe2grind244 and those 45 mins were probably more fun than having the F1 trans

Joke over move on dork.

I guess Hoovie didn't care about what Matt said about EAG. He sent his car up to them to get it converted.

@@freddaniali Which one?

@@shingoose6197 How many 599s does Hoovie have?

Right?? I wouldve driven the hell out of it, enjoying it!! Never get how rich people can spend so much for a car and let it sit.

I thought the same but then remembered what he said about finding the oem parts for the rest of the swap. I bet the column and plastics are even harder because how often do those need replacing?
