My thinking on whether YouTube changed car culture for better or worse actually needled more towards worse after watching that video than when I just thought about the question before I watched it. There was so much focus on people and personalities. I really couldn’t name one YouTube car influencer except for Leno, I…

Buying them when they’re worth nothing is kinda the point... well, maybe not nothing, but you understand. 5 years ago I bought my current 2011 Acura TSX 6 - Speed with 95K miles for $14,000. Been a great car. If I do get a G70 it’ll be when they dip below $20k. Cars last a lot longer these days. I don’t mind buying…

What lesson? Big 3 are still there and pumping giant trucks and SUVs everyday with different badges and 10,000 variants of each. Looking at you: Chevy/GMC AT4 Traiboss, Z71 X31

and yet, cities have no trouble putting parking meters up 

You willing to cut through a live power cable flowing 100's of volts and 10's of amps? Please have your next of kin record it and post it on youtube. How do you know if the power cable is live or not?

Police thievery ... what an interesting concept.

[Guy with an oversized lifted pickup with truck nuts who constantly rolls coal on cyclists]: I’m just like Rosa Parks.

I honestly don’t get this comment.

“It looks expensive, feels expensive and is every bit as comfortable as its German rivals.”

They’re lights

That’s the corollary to “this job is only going to take me 45 minutes, an hour tops.”

In the GR Corolla forums, one person in particular is convinced that only RWD and AWD cars can be performance cars while FWD cars are only just econoboxes.... Despite the fact that the new FL5 Civic Type R beat the GRC Morizo in Lightning Lap 2023 while the FL5 has a full interior, no weight reduction, AND a lesser…

“This motor swap will be cheap. I can use mostly junkyard parts”

“Literally, no one needs this car.”

Flash forward 40 years when the 1 of 2 Demon 170s with optional sunroof and 5miles on the odometer sells for 10 billion dollars.

So the Laffer Curve, but for fines and penalties instead of taxes?

I guess when you lived in the era when these were new and you were unimpressed, it’s pretty tough to look at them now and feel any different. Add in a $9,500 ask, so almost what the MSRP was in the first place, and it’s just a hard ND. 

That water damage is a major red flag - imagine a wet car sitting in a cool, damp garage for years. Any long ride with the windows down is going to be a mold & mildew adventure.

There was no good reason to buy it new. There’s even less reason to pay nearly $10,000 for it now.

Hold on, I think we missed the lead.
