    That Camaro is a steal. You've got people selling those in that condition or worse for over $4k. The fact that it's mechanically sound enough for what it went through, makes it the real winner for me.
  • @isaac24
    You guys are lucky to be down south. Here in Michigan, a $500 car would be unsafe because of the amount of rust it would have.
  • @hpdodge2894
    Honestly, this was a lot of fun to watch. It’s has really good editing and clean shots. It is also nice to see normal people out having fun. Everyone was genuine. My only advice would be to simply how you present the points system. Explaining it multiple times isn’t necessary. Maybe a chart you can display to show everything. Either way, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up
  • @partyguy9
    Wow props to the film/editing crew for the BEAUTIFUL shots of these hoopties. And for making it feel like an old top gear challenge
  • I love these cheap older car challenge videos except when one of the cars is the same make and model as my daily driver. And four years newer!
  • @themanguy2110
    When I saw the thumbnail, I was like, “Wait a minute…” The vehicle lineup has to be a reference to the top gear alabama episode!
  • @AndreMarek64
    Watched for the camaro, subbed for the hijinks. That looked like a blast!
  • Radiates Top Gear energy in a good way. With a classic YouTube spin to it. Lovely content.
  • @Pete_Finch
    This is a pretty damn good production for fewer than 10k subs. I think that number is gonna be jumping by a bunch - cheers from NY Edit: that Z28 could be seriously nice with a good restoration, I love the spec
  • You guys deserve way more subs then you have.. let's hope 2023 gives you guys a huge growth! This was amazing fun to watch and very good production as well!
  • As someone who owns a 2004 lesabre I hope it wins just because how reliable it's been for me (besides the cursed air suspension)
  • @deathpunches
    As a 3rd gen specialist allow me to correct you that is a L98 not an LS or an LT. The Lt was available in the 92 corvette but not the Camaro until 1993. However it’s a nice car for 900
  • @blazed85
    That Camero is still awesome. Having it on the streets, no matter what shape it's in, is a win to me. 😎
  • @stoneyonscene
    Man i love all yall's personalities, a rare find in the auto community! keep killing it!!
  • I loved that Buick I had a Bonneville with the 3800 and I can personally vouch that they can take a beating
  • @mikelyons9971
    That 3800 in the pubic le-saab-ray is a bullet proof motor that gm rode on until emissions and fuel economy restriction made it obsolete
