    You nailed the Ford RS. I was actually looking to get one and the dealers in the SF bay area were marking it up almost 200% even before the car hit the dealer. At a dealer I got into an unintentionally heated argument when I said "well, for that price I can just walk across the street and buy a Cayman GT4". He said "well then do it". I did, no regrets.

    The vipers death was the saddest thing to ever happen to dodge Rest In Peace GOAT
  • @harvardford8752
    the death of the Focus RS was incredibly unfortunate. the ST had a chance of survival, as well as the RS but the dealerships really fucked Ford over
  • @SICMICKSIC6
    There is someone in my hometown that has a focus RS. They caught me marveling at it in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. The dude was excited that someone even knew what it was, all he had to say was "thanks man, its nice to get a reaction from someone for what i pad for it".
  • @TheGardenSnake
    “If you wanna know more about hell read the Bible” 😂🤣 I wasn’t expecting that and it killed me
  • @Th3R4junC4jun
    "- and it kinda had head gasket problems." All subi owner laughed at this one.
  • Experienced the same "No, you can't test drive it," with an STI. I was young-ish (late 20's), but could afford it. Sales slug looked me up and down and declared, "Yeah, we don't really do test drives because people are hard on the vehicle." I was happy to agree that I didn't want to drop my hard-earned cash on something too delicate to test drive. I spent all of 10 minutes in that dealership, and it was 10 minutes too long. I ended-up buying a G37 X which the sales person encouraged me to open-up on the test drive. It was a great vehicle for the years that I owned it. Pro tip, car sales people - know your buyer persona.

    I had the contour svt for about 2 weeks before it was totalled from a street sweeper. The car wasn't in that bad of shape, but insurance considered it totalled because of cost to repair
  • @nb7466
    I love how marketing always makes a car that is for young people but priced it for retired people
  • @jamieweeks1531
    Every UK viewer seeing the contour is like "wow that mondeo is sick"
  • If I could afford an LFA, I’d buy it without question. Thing sounds beautiful. I had to settle for an LC-500. Planning to put an Artisan Spirit body kit on it as soon as it comes in.
  • @avliardi
    I appreciate this style of video so much more. It's real, with no unnecessary fluff. Well done.
  • @nicknsb1064
    "It also had headgasket issues" Subaru Guy: Yeah, I feel that
  • @MikeDion94
    The viper's not only in hell...it's ruling it!
  • @dudechunky
    i was trying to look for the chevy ss, pretty hard to find a use one and back in the days i didn't want to buy the mark up price at the dealers
  • @AudreysKitchen
    The Chrysler Airflow history is cool, glad that was included Good list, cool cars. Nice video
  • @DaveyKnavey
    One of my neighbors has an SS. I appreciate hearing it drive past the house.
  • @chaseteter
    178mph in a 1963 Avanti. Whoever verified this has the brassiest of balls. The thought of hitting 90 in that car on those tires is scary enough.
