Freddy Completed A Thing. Good Job, Freddy.

Not too long ago, someone mentioned to me that our own compatriot OG, Tavarish, would constantly start projects and never complete them. Now I agree that Freddy does this often. I don’t mind that he does it, but he does it. WELL TODAY’S THE MOTHERHUMPING DAY THAT HE FINISHED A THING. A very British, time-consuming thing.

BEHOLD, THE $11,000, FORMER TYLER HOOVER 2004 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT IS FINISHED!!

Now, if I did this, even though I wouldn’t/couldn’t, because everything car-related that I touch breaks, I’d keep it and drive the every-living HEEEEEELL out of it. But alas, I’m not Freddy. No no, Freddy is putting this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! For that price, you get a new-ish engine, new drive shaft, new fluids, new LED dash screen, new front brakes, and ALL NEW FLUIDS!! I expect Ed Bolian to come in and buy it for $9,000 after shrewdly negotiating the price down.

So congratulations, Of Irish! I hope your car lift is happier now since it isn’t constantly holding this vehicle 8 feet above the ground.

Yeah, I figured that would be the point that pushed the sale through.

Just finished watching it. A little bummed that he didn't swap out the head unit with a modern Android that seem to pair up nicely with VAG products (see his Lambo -- which still isn't complete only because the roof won't function correctly).

I;d keep it too, but maybe it’s better he get rid of it before something goes.

Didn’t Hoovie come across a photo that showed this car basically abandoned somewhere in Russia, all covered in dust from off road driving?

It lead a really hard life

How he doing, old mate Tav? I’ve migrated my Youtubing away from some of the click-bait-ier car guys. Frankly I’m surprised they’re still going!

I’d be interested in seeing what the verdict would be (but we all know that it’s not a $2,000 immaculate Miata, so it’ll be CP).

PatBateman > boredalways

But who’s the better Youtuber: Freddy or Tyler?!

PatBateman > ranwhenparked

$2,000 FINAL.

On the other side, this car has one hell of a story. Collectors like stories.

So, the same reason why I got rid of my CTS.

I hope your car didn’t have this kind of service history.

Wow, from the picture it looked like Covid-Doug.

This is how you want to buy one of these money pits - after someone else has dealt with it , and with the added bonus that when it comes time to sell, some drone would pay a premium via Freddie’s ownership .

For the price of a loaded Camry, you can look rich to people who don’t know much about cars.

I’m upset I can’t make jokes at his expense about this thing any more. Dang it.

He recently got an upgraded 996 Turbo, so that might be it’s replacement. That being said, he still has the old S600 he bought from Hoovie, so maybe two 12-cylinder fat Germans is too many.

That car is ridiculous. Forget the user-serviceable argument for a minute. That’s barely serviceable by anyone.

He still has that S class? Well good for him. I haven’t watched anything from him since he first got that car.

Watched that one, very interesting and well done. Not really all that interested in Bentley Continental GT, but that was a fairly compelling in this video.

When looking to buy restored British luxury vehicles, the first people I turn to are Youtuber Floridians from Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Nah. But I did touch it once, which is just as bad.

It’s best that way. I wonder when his Supra will go on the block?

Are you mad at him for being a conservative, or for monetizing certain far right beliefs?

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > PatBateman
05/26/2020 at 11:54

For monetizing the further division of our country and citizenry . I think he may have had a left-wing site, too (not certain).

PatBateman > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
05/26/2020 at 12:11

Pretty sure he had both sides of the extremes covered. It actually doesn’t bother me; the division has been around for decades.

My biggest problem is convincing my FIL and parents (all over 70) that Facebook is not a reliable source of information, and “they” are usually wrong.

To be clear, all three of them are raging liberals, which is fine, right up until they read Facebook.

I can’t remember what it was, but my mom recently cited a headline from a satirical news site... It’s a joke, Mom!

Unfortunately, most of the stuff they get swayed by is from people who are intentionally trying to deceive people, and they spend way too much time deep inside the echo chamber.

PatBateman > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
05/27/2020 at 06:41

Yeah, my FIL does that all the time. He literally quotes those fake inspirational stories like they’re real as PROOF that he’s right. Or my mom who always cites “they” to back up her point. “Well Pat, they say that global warming is going to cause the oceans to rise 30 feet in the next ten years” WHO THE HELL IS “THEY” MOM, BECAUSE I THINK “THEY” ARE SLIGHTLY OFF ON THEIR CALCULATIONS.

My dad shared the Plandemic video on Fb. [facepalm]

Are we all going to be like that when we’re 70? It’s a scary thought.
