I also wanted to come back and say that this article is awesome. More stuff like this please Jalopnik!

Thanks!

...wait...

The bearings are bad on your 90% rust jeep.

Let’s not throw stones. Who among us hasn’t overcooked it in that exact tunnel multiple times?

Not sure if serious...?

Tell me how much damage you think those itty bitty little hybrids are doing to the roads? Very, very little. Medium duty and larger - i.e. Semis - do more damage in one trip that 10 dozen hybrids. Which pays more per mile? Why the big trucks because they use more gas. We already pay road use taxes per mile traveled…

I could hack your ride with a coat hanger and flatblade screwdriver

Oh that is my worst nightmare. A world populated primarily by FCA vehicles.

Damage fully repaired with salvage title you aren’t looking at 40k. You’ve already seen how this guy drives. It also looks like he kept thrashing it after wrecking it. Even if you own a shop this is pretty crack pipe.

Not the same car, unless they removed the sunroof too and re-skinned the roof.

I think it’s a different one. This has the base wheels, is missing a dealer badge under Focus on the rear and it appears the curtain airbags aren’t deployed. Perhaps another drift mode gone wrong?

This article is a good explanation of why I sold my old musclecars. The dream of cool old cars != the reality

Sorry to spoil the fun but chances are the seats come to the assembly line with a white synthetic cloth cover over them, it probably had a valid barcode on it to tell the guy to install the seat. The seat maker is the real idiot.

Any car with a dog in the passenger seat will attract more women than a Ferrari.

God bless you. I’m at work and can’t view the video. And, regardless of where i am, i can’t stand lazy “journalism” that only links to someone else’s video and hard work.

Mainly three things, Money, Time, and motivation. And on another note there needs to be more shop classes in this country.

“Love, it’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru”...more like “Blown head gaskets, it’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru.”

YouTube keeps suggesting Vehicle Virgins videos to me. Every time I check one out, I end up wanting to punch him in the face. The smarminess is just overwhelming.

Between the kid who has a ton of family money and makes terrible clickbait videos about why he hates cars for awfully minor details and the guy who actually builds, or at least commissions builds, I’ll go with the actual gearhead every time.
