I didn't realize how old this was until hoovie started talking about buying the farm.

[petersc]

Talk about waiting FOREVER to post a video. Crazy ridiculous

[tokkiM]

How long have you guys been sitting on this?

[rennen]

So this is roughly a year old recording? starting the divorce, hasn't bought the farm yet, no fisker, recording BJ which hasn't happened this year yet. Also a bit harsh transition to the outro

[donschiffer]

Ironic that you have an ad for Range Rover on a video with Hoovie. Range Rovers have been the bane of his existence for years.. initially I thought it was a joke!

[MDchaz]

Watching Hoovie’s Garage has saved me so much money. I love to live vicariously through him.

[nts_nathaniel]

Feels weird watching this if you regularly watch Hoovie... Had to double check if this was a new or a year+ old episode!

[corychecketts]

Hoovie is one of the few YouTubers that is actually still worth watching after all these years.

[ZeD]

bro married a scammer who stole half his shit and got lots in child support

[Cole_Childs]

@EdBolian from VinWiki would be a great guest. He knows finance, cars, & story telling

[henrysboy]

Nice interview. Enjoy Tyler and it was nice to see him in a longer more structured interview format. He covered a lot of old stories but also added some detail and additional color that was a lot fun. Thx.

[moparlifescatpack]

I was so excited when I saw Hoovie video just posted. Unfortunately the events are far in the past but at least watching Hoovie never gets old! 😎

[Bobcostas]

Appreciate all of the pictures of the cars being referenced since I don’t know most of these off hand

[woodrowbunopaddle]

1:05:05 Mecum is scummy.They Chandelier bid cars up all the time.People have no idea.They pay 29K for a car by outbidding "someone", only to find out no real money on the car above 20K

[NYCS]

I felt old when they asked what a gray market car was? Hoovie should have mentioned that the 500SL wasn't available here and neither were the 500SEL and 745 BMW. We had J Frank Motors in Indianapolis who primarily brought in Mercedes Benz cars. Across the street from William's Rolls Royce in Cincinnati the Lotus dealer ran a gray market place. First BMW M1 I saw and a bunch of 500SELs and the big engined 745i. All with headlight wipers! One thing though is that most of the big MBs had cloth interiors and often the basic heater control instead of climate control (a plus in my opinion) and some had hubcaps instead of alloys. It was an interesting time. But he's not joking about prices, these cars could be at least a third off a 380SEL and sometimes more.

[Hobbsthetiger]

Doug, Tavarish, and Hoovie are my big 3, in terms of car content that’s not racing, so glad you got them on. Ed from vin wiki gets an honorable mention. You should try for cleetus haha but that man doesn’t leave Florida much, he is an entrepreneur genius himself.

[idokwatcher]

There's no dark side when your daddy is a multi millionaire that can bail you out from any failure 200 times over.

[reedM]

Holy ads, I pay $20 a month to YT to not have ads. Either put them first or last. Holy shit

[juanzingarello]

I’m sure it wasn’t Hoovies intention. But I always found his channel educational aside from entertaining. There is this common misconception that buying an old European luxury car at such a low price is a great deal and Tyler Hoover here is showing you it never is a great deal. There is a reason these cars depreciate so much. Thank you Tyler for showing us the financial challenges of owning a European luxury car beyond the lease and warranty period where they then become endless money pits and for showing us what we could be potentially getting ourselves into.

when was this show recorded ?? hoovies got him self a fiska this year at BJ palm beach and just 3 weeks ago Fiska is for the 2nd time bankrupted
