You are correct. We disabled all the airbags before we started.

Missouri requires state inspections too. I managed to get my Trabant to pass despite that fact that it had no working headlights, no warning lights, a barely visible blinker, a dragging front brake, and only one functioning cylinder. The mechanic was afraid to even drive it.

I am Robert, the maker of the video. I don’t really have anything to say. I just felt like saying I’m here.

I just assumed it was because I was garbage.

I agree with you on this one. He’s one of the few providing genuinely useful information.

I was shooting for awful. I almost did my pointless, substance-less upbeat voice, but I went with uninterested instead.

This is how I imagine a big block Saab 96 (2 stroke) would sound

I hear people more often than seems possible that think a car’s dimensions make it safer. It’s not terribly maddening when someone says a Crown Vic is safer than “all the jelly beans” they have today, but I’ve heard more than one person take it to extremes. “Oh yeah. You could hit someone, and walk away with only a…

Just the adrenaline rush of falling through the ice at any random moment would make it worth it. Also, I really, really want one.

This is easy. I have a Trabant. Easily the weirdest car I’ve driven. As for the story, I’m planning to string that out over the year with a series of videos starting with this super short one:

He did say he was “working on a new project which [he] hope[s] to be able to tell you about very soon”. Unfortunately, he also said, “It will involve me making videos on the internet which you won’t have to pay for”. So I just don’t know. Whatever he does, I’m glad I could support him until now so he can go on to make…

I have a Trabant. I can confirm

I’m glad to see you make this video. I put out a video several months ago called “Everything Wrong with [insert car name]” (I’m not here to advertise). I wanted to see if the commenters on your video were just as mindless and rude as they were on my video. They were.

I just saw this video posted by CarThrottle on Facebook after reading it here first. I’m not sure why, but I looked at the comments, and I have to say I’m shocked. I didn’t know people could be so hateful. They’re even hateful by internet standards!

I have not checked these notifications in a while. Just to give some of you an update, I resigned a couple days ago. I’m taking this time to not only look for better software development jobs (gotta pay the bills), but also expand my horizons. I’m taking this time off to make more videos, and I’ve even applied to a…

I did not know about the rubber clutch in 944s. And now that I know that I will be even more of a hypochondriac about my 944’s health. I can easily make the car buck. It also tends to sort of bounce at low speeds. I always thought this was normal as it doesn’t actually feel like driveline slack. I drove an A60 Supra…

As a recent college grad who’s having a bit of a career identity crisis, this was good to read. I graduated in computer science, and I have a software engineering job. I’m having a bit of a career crisis right now because I’m not a very good developer, and I just don’t have the developer passion anymore. That, and…

Well Tavarish, you scared me initially with your statement about buying cars sight unseen because that’s exactly what I’m doing tomorrow. But then I read the whole thing and felt relieved. Also, my purchase is substantially cheaper than your fancy Japanese car. In fact, it’s a little East German.

I find it a little more disappointing when you’re browsing for a vehicle that was rarely made in auto form, find an example that looks perfect, get all excited, and then the bubble bursts when you see “Autotragic trans”. Examples of this include VW Type 3’s, classic minis, and 944s.
