[JawaThomas]

Linus spending hundreds on makeup for his disguise and then driving his wrapped car to the meetup is iconic

[TorqueTestChannel]

This is all an elaborate excuse for linus to cosplay as an old man on the clock

[Iamimgainary_sqrt-_i]

Imagine selling an old computer to some grandad that is always trying to get your price down and he then pulls up in his Porsche Taycan

[Nbec]

Idea for next season: both teams get an identical used system as a budget and have to sell or trade it for better parts

[SeanGreezy]

Old-man-Linus stripping a computer in a tree-lawn while his assistant sells parts off the purple Porsche was quite a sight to behold. Wheres a renaissance artist when you need one?

[MoonlitChris]

Love how subtle the first guy was with the LTT screwdriver before being like "Oh yeah, he looks just like you!" great timing

[AdamHaas]

1:39 "he's a door-to-door salesman?" I almost spit out my coffee.

[anphaam]

the way the first guy recognized Linus right away lmao

[darthgameryt]

Mans got the most obvious car and expected not to he spotted miles away lol 2:25

[danielchristie]

SO glad scrapyard wars is back! I understand why it’s been gone, but I’m overjoyed it’s back. This series is what originally got me into pc gaming

[ashutoshsolanki]

The screwdriver was in the box, it was his prized possession. That was hella cute ngl :)

[Maquenaz]

Love how you can drive to the middle of nowhere and the guy will be like "oh thats Jonh Jackie from linus tech tips!!!"

[lakebreeze]

Linus: *hires makeup artists to try to be incognito*

Also Linus: *does everything possible to be immediately noticed (car, lanyard, being a little too interested in the screwdriver)* 😂

[nsp]

Linus: goes undercover with an intricate makeup, also Linus : huge LTT lanyard hanging from the pocket.

[lllMithrandirlll]

I love how the camera guy and the editor came together to do David dirty like that. Poor guy didn't deserve to have that clip of him, spilling coffee on himself, added to this video.

[piersonm]

Next challenge:
Build the worst pc setup you can. Worst aesthetics, worst performance, worst acoustics, worst ergonomics, and highest price wins. Underclocking isn't allowed and all money has to be spent on the components, so you can't just get a $1000 tungsten cube for your setup, though a loud speaker as a diagnostic speaker is allowed for example. It will be a challenge to find parts that are both terrible and expensive

[dannymartial]

WHY did they response with "Nice try, Luke"???! They had the perfect opportunity to send the opposing team on a wild goose chase.

[CarMake]

Sammy is such a great character and perfect team mate for Linus. Very natural in front of a camera too. Should definitely be in more LTT videos!

[blindsniper]

Dude scrapyard wars should be almost like a part of "initiation" for new staff. Like "ok, you've passed probation, now you've gotta do scrapyard wars" so that could be kind of like an annual initiation ritual for newer staffers. That way, it doesn't get stale because you have new personalities every series, and it comes like a tradition that helps bring them into the LTT family, like a bonding exercise.

[MrSofazocker]

4:31 so contagious laughter, couldn't even keep take a sip of his coffee without spilling it on himself.
