Tyler should be awarded the Medal of Honor for buying the cheapest version of cars and showing car enthusiasts that it is not a good idea to buy those cars, therefore he saved billions of dollars for car community.🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🏅🏅🏅
Lol, yeah, probably 75% of the time it's a big money-losing proposition, especially since he has to pay someone else to fix them. But, still tempting for those of us with lesser means to still try it. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
Car Trek is one of those watershed moments that really showed the age of big networks holding the keys to the culture is over... Guys like them and Throttle House have proved it can be done from the bottom up and with a quality that's easily on par with anything the network oligarchy can put out there.
Our gopros and phones all record excellent video... That was a big part of it. No longer need to pay 6 film crews with hundreds of thousands in equipment
@@robertstahl8835 yep... Now almost anyone has access to the necessary production and broadcast resources. That doesn't mean everyone can make something work from it though. As with any field of creative endeavour, only a very small percentage of productions will always make up the majority of the audience demand. Because the demand does have its limitations, but for the first time in history the means to produce effectively does not. The trick now is going to be making sure as many people as possible get the opportunity to put their work out there and being vigilant about the ever present threats posed by intervention of state and/or corporate interests. Obviously this is something that I see as a huge opportunity, particularly in the field of performing arts and theatre, where I spend my days working. However nobody in that space has managed to crack the nut, quite like automotive channels have done. But boy have I been able to learn a lot from that well developed ecosystem of content creators. This is something I've been working on obsessively for the last few years and I think I see a way to make that work. It's an exciting time, but it could go either way from here.
I don't think he ever is. Seems like a simple country dude who's good with people - and weirdly, there are pretty few of these among car guys - people like Daddy Doug, Whistlin Diesel and many, many others are just genuine look-at-me lords. Tyler is not - for some reason, which is why I'm watching most of his videos since the birth of his channel. Either way - great interview, greetings from Latvia.
I don't comment enough because I'm always listening on Spotify but I'm always loving the podcasts especially with fellow creators and infrastructure specialists! - Yuri
I am so happy to see Hoovie back on TST after so long. You guys and Tyler are my favorite content creators. Cannot wait for tomorrow’s commute to listen.
We owned a CL Type S. It was a blast to drive, was a great daily and one of the first cars we ever owned with factory GPS (primitive by today's standards, but great for its time). My wife totaled it and it became a 2011 Mustang GT convertible, the first year with the Coyote motor. That one was a blast.
The Jean-Claude story remind me of a story of mine. I was working for a company and one of the executives had a gorgeous white e34 535i with a manual and grey interior. I told him if he ever wanted to sell it. I would like to buy it. I kept waiting. I ended up buying a more luxurious car than I had before. Right after, someone told me that he just bought a new car. so there was a Green E39 in his parking space. I never did get his car. Which reminds me of another thing, I had a friend who got t-boned. his car was going to cost more than the car was worth to repair. I told him at the time that it was going to get totaled. I found a beautiful Ford Probe GT. We looked at the car, but he hadn't been paid by the insurance company yet. He had enough money he could have bought the car. Afterwards he told me that the insurance company declared a salvaged and they were going to give him a check. he went to me and said do you still have the number for the probe owner. This was before most people had cell phones. I go, no man. He probably already sold it. Then I found him a third generation Toyota Supra turbo, that had a ton of work done to it the car was clean as can be. I was tempted to buy it. I went and looked at it. Then I took him over to look at it. He didn't like that it was a manual, cloth interior, and red. He ended up buying a much worse Black 3rd gen Supra. which he threw a lot of money into and sold it cheap
Got a kick out of the 100K Tahoe rebuild, I still have my wife's perfect 04 Tahoe, and it IS basically the best daily driver on the planet, without all the modern tech crap. Love Tyler, very real, honest and comes off as a good guy, not to mention April, WOW!
11:55 i bet they still would do seats for that Mclaren. MSO was still doing development on that car recently as seen on Harrys garage channel. The price for something like that is another story.
I think the beauty of the SLR McLaren is that to most regular non car people, it just looks like a normal Mercedes SL. It's very under the radar, probably a big part of the appeal for someone like Jay Leno.
15:50 the EOS roof is the same as the Ford and Renault one. The main challenge is the weight, imagine trying to touch a latch 2m away with 2 TVs weighing it down
I looked at an Eos new at the dealer. It was so loud with the top down, I was like no thanks. I had a Jaguar XK8, such an elegant car. I used to want a 2011 XKR, but now I think I would rather have a XK, they are easier to maintain.
Nissan is the top 90’s brand, fight me. You had great drivers cars from Senta SE-R to Pulsar GTI-R to 240sx to 300zx to Q/M45 to the Patrols/Pathfinder to the freaking GT-R. That’s an amazing lineup without even covering all the JDM specific stuff
@@tstret3104 Nissan's never been a luxury brand, but as a performance brand their history is as strong as any other. And tech? How about gyroscopic all-wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, progressive twin turbocharging, adjustable suspension, and auto rev matching? Nissan was developing all this in the 90s so yes, they were very innovative too.
Tyler shows us how to live. Do things you love, do them in integrity and a cheerful mood, and all the best things will fight to be on your life's path. Doing Top Gear and carble TV on his own terms, RU-vid on his own terms, and his girlfriend is THE most bubbly and gorgeous woman in cars on the planet. Daddy Doug is much the same. Good vibes, his own terms, says yes to a good opportunity, great success.
That's why I support any channel copying this concept. It's cool to see these cars be saved. He also shows how sometimes the depreciated luxury cars aren't really all that bad, but people are just scared of them
Great podcast - really enjoyed it. And I was really surprised to hear Hoovie mention the GranSport! I believe they are one of the most underrated and misunderstood cars out there and offer a huge amount of bang for your buck. Very limited RU-vid content on them though and feel both Hoovie and EuroAsian Bob missed an opportunity for some cool content.
90's Toyota was pretty strong. Celica GT4, Supra, MR2, 4Runner and Land Cruiser on the off-road side. You can even add Cressida/Mark II, first gen Avalon, Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC and I'm sure some other great global models. Even the Camry. Build quality and Reliability across the line is legendary. Might have to go Toyota for the 90's
I have no desire for modern exotic cars… even if I had more money then these two.. Bugatti type 35 or Alfa Romeo 8c from 1932 would be my exotic cars just wired different I guess
@@jaksonmz No, Tyler is a franchise owner in a Freddy's Frozen Custard franchise, several. I assume that is how he funds most of his life. His dad was into that and then Tyler has been or is a partner with his Dad.
I really appreciate how many cars that otherwise would have been junked have been given a second life due to Hoovie’s strange RU-vid business model. If I ever meet him I’ll tell him thanks for that.
I've got a 94 blazer/tahoe 2 door that I hardly drive but when I do it's such a comfy ride.. I tell myself to sell it because of other cars I have.. but now forget it.
AM Vanquish is a future investment and we’ll look back and say they were 50k once. A Bond car. Super handsome and first of the new alu body construction.
Definitely. Even the vantage has been a great car to own for the last 10 years. They've been in the 35k-60k range. It seems like you could own one for a few years for free basically
On $300k Ferrari, my money picks a nice 512TR with money leftover for maintenance! On best manufacturers in a particular decade: I'm slowly experiencing the gamut of cheap early-2000's Audis... had the B5 and B6 A4 Avants, C5 A6 2.7T 6spd, C5 RS 6, D2 S8 (converted to 6spd), and now the MK1 TT. Not the pinnacle of reliability, but love the driving experience! Made some money selling some, lost on some, it all comes out in the wash. Would love to get an imported B5 RS 4 or C5 RS 6 Avant someday!
The Omni GLH is bad ass, it is such a light car that the power it puts out makes it seem amazing. At the same time, it was one of the scariest cars I've driven, killer traction and feels tall and top heavy. I've never driven the GLH-S but I can't imagine.
Lol @ Tyler's story of the Turo host knowing nothing about cars. That's been my experience with pretty much every one of the 20+ cars I have rented, and they were all enthusiast cars.
Yes Kim drove a black CL65 on one of the gumballs. All his mercs were black back then. Matt is thinking about the weird music video with Kim on the ring with 2 coupes and a cabrio with F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen
Tyler the type of guy to sell a Countach and lose $25,000 because someone sharted on the interior... Don't even get me started on April Roses "video tape" 😉
Very simple, I watch longer video content when I'm doing things. Short videos mean I have to stop what i'm doing to find another, which is annoying. Hour + videos are perfect for me.
I see cyber trucks in traffic fairly often now (being outside Austin). They look so different than regular traffic, that it's almost a caricature of a truck. I've seen pinewood derby cars with more design language than this visual abomination. It's weird to think that the Aztek owners get to poke fun at somebody now.
AEG did one car for daily driven Exotics and it needs to go back for reprogramming and touch ups and then they sold them just a kit so that they could install it themselves and it seems like it's missing some parts
Felt like Matt really tried hard to go negative in the beginning and it was awkward because Tyler is more of a glass 1/2 full kinda guy - Matt kept slamming with the negative - then once he figuring out Tyler wasn’t gonna go down that road / and finally he shifted. Overall really enjoyed the interview and all the topics they covered.
I'm starting to think they're both industry shills/plants cuz at 1:11:36 When Hoovie says "they can't build enough Mavericks to keep up" and Matt Farah agrees and says "yeah" instead of calling out his bull$hit that it's not that Ford can't but won't.
I bet that the push towards longer RU-vid videos is related to the popularity of smart TV's. Assuming you're home, sitting at your computer or your phone to watch a 30 minute youtube video is not that appealing. But sitting on your couch in front of your TV to watch a 30 minute "show," well we've been doing that for decades.
Cars like Turbo Rs are meant for car enthusiasts, I drive a p38 rover as a daily, its ok for us, we can handle it and benefit from it, it is important of course to buy a decent one with good bones
