"Nothing is real, money is fake, why are we even grown ups right now?"
I feel you James and ask myself the same thing.

[k-peezy]

I feel all the hurt the guys went through watching this. Especially when they started with the E30 M3 example. Makes me want to throw something.

[OddBawZ]

This video was equal measures funny and painful to watch. Shout out all my JDM gang that sold a 100k car now for less than 5k back then! :'(

[ZZZRG]

“You used to be able to buy cars for not much money, if you had good taste”

quote it, the most accurate quote of doughnut 2022

[ricky]

"Why are we even grown ups now?"

Man, that really hit me. I love cars. I make around $70k annual. I have no debt. I should be able to afford my dream car but prices are so high that I fear I may never be able to afford something like a nice integra type r.

[happymask]

If only we could pay 2010 prices right now.

[nobeliefisok]

You should have been using "closest to price" all along. Please keep it this way moving forward, makes for a much more fair game, and keeps you trying to actually get close.

[sebz]

This is why I loved when JDM and tuning culture was so underground. Now you turn 16 and have literally no options for a tuner car between the $1-3k range.

[gidmonkey]

I was trying to avoid this video because it's soo painful to watch.

[DriftingMunki]

“You used to be able to buy nice car cars, for not much money, if you had good taste” that sums it up pretty much

That S13 actually was a later car with the "sharknose" or "chuki" bumper. Pignose was on the '89 and '90 US model years, which had the KA24E SOHC. '91-'94 US model years had the KA24DE DOHC.

Love the video as always!

I remember being in high school between 2012-2016, and always looking at my dream cars (rx7, s2000, etc…) and they seemed so… attainable. But now even with a good career most of my dream cars are “unrealistic”

[JMSTT]

The amount of cars I've owned that have increased in value ten fold or more is ridiculous.
Back in 2001 I bought a 1989 E30 320 in fairly good condition for £450, I had a Vauxhall Astra GTE 16V I paid £300 for, a Nova GTE I gave around £100 for (body was shabby, I bought it for the engine) an 2000 E36 325 was £750. If I had all the cars I've owned in a garage I'd probably have enough to retire early 🤣

[warrentranquada]

I love that you guys can put a sponsor video at the end, with the confidence that no one will stop watching. Love your channel. Glad you switched to closest to the pin. Even better would be a blind reveal. The prices in this video made me sad, but the delivery made be happy again.

[lloyddsouza]

I remember subscribing to these guys when they were around 500k subs and I always knew they will take off and go huge. Proud of you guys ❤️

[donywahlberg]

I've never bought anything from your sponsors or your merch store but you guys are genuinely funny with the skit writing on ads. Thanks for the laughs!

Day 475 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back

[christophercastillo]

I remember looking at 5000 dollar s2000s when I was in middle school.

Oh how the times have changed

[abcthings]

Love you guys! Bring money pit and science garage back too! Great content as always.
