She is definitely pulling the plug when you are on life support.
nah, she´ll connect him to a tesla fast charger which will eventually slow charge when they found rich has now a salvage title.
Why would she wait that long?
Preheating that DNR immediately after uttering “It says hot pizza”.
- I will sell the car after that comment, proceed to invite relative to use any “Mercedes bus available” in town for transportation purposes. End of sentence.
😂
*1:19** A man of quality i see...*
that and the "unpaid balance" for tesla supercharging...
I wonder how many people saw it
Timothy Stark 🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️ I saw it.
I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to see this comment LOL
He zoomed on it to😂
just like pimp my ride, "we noticed you like pizza, so we took out the back seat and added an oven".
jo davg jo. ve notised jou like driving, so ve put a kar in jour kar, so jou kan draiv vile you draiv.
only actually driveable
When pimp my ride added a fish tank🙁
1:18 gotta renew that my dude
I bet the daughter would have liked it more WITHOUT the pizza oven.
What's up cutie! xx
Nah because she could cook pizza in it.
8 bit guy!!!
Hey surprised to see you here! I love your videos they are extremely informative and suprisingly help me calm down. I love your content!
I'm surprised you watch this. It sure is quick
She is not springing for the “deluxe package” at the nursing home.
She'll give him the keys to the nursing home, but the front desk will hand him the keys to the shed.
Nursing home? Nah, old winnebago out back with no engine. A single 120v extension cord for power and a small space heater for the winter.
It’s going to be an old port-a-potty in a field with a sink, some bread and water in the floor, an extension cord and a kitchen knife. “Yeah...’REBUILD THIS into an old age palace you cheap b@$+@rd.”
Nursing home? Nobody can afford a nursing home these days. At 9000-11000 dollars a month, any savings or investments that are available will be burned through very quickly with most exhausting an entire retirement life's savings in the first 1-4 years.
Jesus, back when I was a teenager my parents made me earn my own money to buy my own car. Listen to all these entitled assholes!
I admire Rich's bravery, installing anything in the grass is incredibly brave.
1:15 "I received Idk how many invitation for blah blah..." and one very suspicious account renewal email
The catholic church would excommunicate him
I was going to like this but it’s at the nice number so I’ll leave it
I’ve owned one for 3 years. I only recently learned that for the best 0-60 performance you should put the pedal 50% down until you hit 18mph, and then floor it. This is stated in the users manual.
Maybe he knows someone that can kill the low speed torque limiter in the ECU.
Jason Hall make a mini Tesla lol.
I love the porn hub Easter eggs he is leaving everywhere lmao
Where?
At 1:19 lol
Maybe its not an easter egg. If you have an account the algorithm learns what you like much better.
This is such a dad thing. “No these are just the keys to the next car which is also not your car.” 😂
Off camera,
Rich: It’s a pizza car!
Daughter: More like a pizza shit!
( she didn’t seem too impressed)
seriously though, I would love it because of the pizza oven
We love that Rich Finishes his builds unlike some others (Sam) jkjk still love both channels
He is Sam-CRACK you know.
Alexander Zerka * unlike
@@alexanderzerka8477 thanks :)
@@neovenom9833 *Sniff* TODAY'S VIDEO WE WILL FINISHING 1/8th OF THE FERRARI lmao
He's should uhmm,.. double check those ball joints. ☑️🙄
LMFAO!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your account is up for renewal.
You're fracking hilarious Rich.
And unpaid supercharging lol
😁
I caught almost immediately and laughed my ass off.
So say we all
1:17
Rich: "That's takin all of it."
Me screaming at the screen: "Check the floor!"
Another great video!! Loved it!
1:17 Dont forget to renew!
Omg just noticed that pn hub add lol
😂😂
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Jesus, halfway through the commercial I'm not even sure if I'm still watching a commercial. You the man. You should give a master class advertizing.
I checked, you got lucky halfwaythroughthecommercialImnotevensureifImstillwatchingacommercial.com
is still available.
I watched this video a year ago because I like the stuff you guys do. Based on this and other Spark EV videos convinced me these cars are a great intro to the EV experience for little money. I now own a 2016 for over 9mos now and love this little thing. It is a perfect errand car for old retired folk like me whilst still providing a lot of grins especially when I can leave many loud cars wondering what happened in those stop light gran prix.
Daughter: can I keep my car?
Rich: aww, what a good dad I am (slams door)
Priceless xD
Normal people: Get a rear NORMAL door.
Rich: Leaves the oven to get that chicken made!!
If you have a normal door then how do you keep your KFC warm??
@@common_c3nts don't forget Costco roasted chicken
20:47, 35 miles range 😅 I can understand why ther is a scooter in the car😂
And it looks like the battery is nearly full?!? Is that normal for this car?
@@truthsmiles no he said in a previous comment that the range is 80 miles and the battery was just no properly set
Hell, our Volt has 38 miles EV range before the range extender kicks in.
Nice job Rich, the only thing I would do differently is buy a new coolant bottle and the proper plastic line fitting you scabbed together.
In warm weather it’s more around 85 miles.
Great idea, you are such a caring and thoughtful father
9:56 you literally just got a bunch of plastic pieces inside the coolant reservoir
I was shocked...
I don't think it's going to kill the car
It adds character and a few hps
@@bigcountry7096
It actually might, if this uses the same liquid cooling design in the battery pack those pieces of plastic are going to get clogged up inside the cooling tubes and you'll end up with a battery failure. If that particular cooling reservoir is only for the inverter and motor then probably it's fine. Still was kind of a dumb thing to do.
It will be fine.
"Teenager's come out here to have S** don't ask me how I know"
Lol
Here is video on how the car was painted that nobody watched ruclips.net/video/M9UyoBHnDZE/видео.html
I could have called you the worst dad ever, but I have no relatives at all, so who the hell am I to blame you in not giving your daughter a Bugatti Chiron🤔
John Perry if you pour gas into the water it gets spoiled. If you put an EV into the water, you may be called an asshole. What’s worse then, boomer?
Nice paint job Rich :). I really enjoy your videos
Hey did you figure out how to extend the sparks battery?
That's nobody +1 ...I watched it. Didn't you see my comment about the professional painter trying to teach a guy who works on his car w/a butter knife? LOL!
1:18 , you actually bought this car to moonlight as a pizza delivery guy and film it. Makes total sense.
Uber eats!!! Skip the dishes
Well he's gotta to pay the bills somehow
7:56 I thought my headphones were broken because I kept hearing "K..." 😂
Lmao
"I would bully myself." 🤣
the "ok" thing had me dying XD
codeman017 same here
oh yeah, same here too! :D
ok
I've got a fever, and the only cure is more PAN FLUTE!
*prescription
*pan pizza
*shitty flute
It's actually a recorder.
19:55 "You think you hate it now, but wait'll you DRIVE it..."
Rich and his family are so much fun! LOL. Love the joking around with his daughter.
Other youtubers would take 20 videos to complete this build
And 10 of the 20mins of those vids would be all "whats up youtube!! Back again with another video" while they ramble on in their driveway
ya a lot of stuff was skipped here
"Someone took all the bulbs from both sides who does that?!"
*shows a picture of Sam Cracc*
I watched that part too
Walter Cranston those play by plays for the video we all watched are mind blowing comments 😂
@@BT_aka_PET_ROOSTER I don't really understand how getting likes on a youtube comment is so rewarding for people but yet they're too lazy to think of something with any amount of creativity or originality. I don't even know why I scroll down anymore. There's never one thing that isn't a copy paste or a quote from the video I just watched.
Walter Cranston lol I didn’t copy and paste any comments tho
I worked at a Chevy dealership for several years, we had one as a chase car. It was an absolute blast to drive back and forth between auxiliary lots. I'm glad it's getting a little love. Always thought it would make a good donor drive train for an autocross ev build.
1:20 said your porn hub account is up for renewall 😂😂
Secretly placed advertisement.
I bet he already renewed that lol because it’s important to him 😂
He Got me, when he opend the Pizza Box, and there were just cold leftovers. lmao
1:18 someone like the naughty side of the Internet...
Chilled_Paradise he def did it on purpose but that makes it funnier
@@jffffff Maybe it is a scam? Very likely if he didn't.
now you gotta shoot a video delivering pizzas in 30 mins or less... and add a pizza launcher on that door... then also deliver a pizza to my all of our faces
I find it useful to use a deck of cards to mask off wheels. Simply slot them in between the rim and tyre, deflating the tyre helps with this too.
Does that speaker cable you unplugged run by the inverter and pick up the PWM noise?
Bruh when she said " It says hot pizza" I lost it lmao
Wink wink "you gotta work now my darling".
Wheel spraypainting tip: slightly deflate the tyre, then protect the rim by using a deck of cards
😂 22.12 The Pizza! OMG that was too funny!
I love how much of a kid Rich turns into when gets it right!
"I spent my stimulus money entertaining you"
Rich: Oh look there's one right there.
Also Rich: proceeds to floor the car.
it's ok the police would never be able to catch him!
A teacher in my HS built an electric car out of a Honda...….in 1992 lol
I love your work arounds! I've always made do with what I've got on hand to fix, repair, or modify things. My friends have always given me flack for it but when they don't have the right part you know who they call! Lol! Great video!
I actually have the petrol version of this car in the same colour and I'd love to have had the EV version. Too bad Chevy went belly up in my country. It would have made a great city runabout with a good bit of fun thanks to the torque.
Yeah it looks like it's A lot quicker than the beep beep barina
That flute music kills me every time
Your videos are amazing. I'm 'hardware challenged' so your repair work is equal to magic for me.
This is the only channel I let all commercials run through without skipping 😂
nice meeting you and seeing the i8 at that rest stop in CT
Put the frame from a model 3 under a Chevy S10 body!! That would be a real Tesla truck!
Well, it's more doable than a replica S-10 EV with an EV-1 running gear, and yes, GM made a small run of electric S-10s around the time of the EV-1.
Nah Tesla would remove supercharger privileges as soon as they saw who registered the vehicle.
Model 3 doesn't have a frame
15:31 I was wondering what the hell was that, I was thinking maybe that's new way to change the battery if you need it... but no, instead is an oven
Are you being serious 😂😂😂😂💀
I’m soooooooo dead. 🤣🤣😂💀💀. He got old pizza in the freaking car oven!!!
The lotion God's please answer Rich's prayer 🙏 for godlike non ashy hands please 😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one to notice that.... it’s the coffee/tea/chocolate skinned curse... beautiful skin, ashy texture.
Real men dont have soft smooth skin...unless they use "Palmolive, it softens hands while you do dishes. Its Palmolive, you're soaking in it."
6:50 surprisingly legit job
Doing donuts with the pizza oven door open is just amazing. I didn't know the Spark EV was so much fun.
Had me cracking up when you guys were peeling out with the pizza door open!!! Nice one Rich :) Fun and interesting video as always
great job , rich. I need to laugh , My Mom just passed .she was 97
john stubbe I’m so sorry, man.
@@grahamstrouse1165 Thanks
Delta9 Chicano sorry for your loss bro stay strong achieve your dreams in his name I believe in you and feel your pain
Sorry to hear that, may she Rest In Peace brother 💙
May she rip🙏 god gained a angel
I love how the car looks exactly like the gas cars
"So you think Im fat" man that got me in 'nam flashbacks. that was too real haha
I had my spark ev for 7 months now and the torque this thing has is a best kept secret. Seeing Rich's reaction while driving it was priceless. Please make some more videos on this. I interested in some of the kids you would do with it.
I thought it was an LS V8 starting when you pressed the accelerator at 10:49
"Nope!"
Lol that's how I about my Fiat 500e. It's my daily driver, I always crack up at people's reaction when i beat them off the line. The most hilarious was beating a riced out 90s V6 mustang lol
That's impressive! Great job! How long does it take to get the job done (conversion)?
Quick tip on spraying wheels. Cut a piece of card app 6in high and just longer than the circumference of the wheel, then tape it together making a 6in wall that will fit on each wheel as a barrier to stop the overspray. Will save you loads of time instead of using the masking tape.
Frequently urinated had me dying 😂😂
Best part was ur daughter’s surprise🤣🤣🤣...u had me dyin lol
One of my favourite parts of these videos is the sarcastic trash/not-trash talking the haters/not-haters. Good humour
"What a good Dad I am." I died there! XD Good stuff Rich.
"I'd bully myself LMAOOOOOOOOSUAHAAHAHA"
Damn Unlce Rich is the paid promotion ninja assassin. I almost fell off my chair when he transitioned into the Squarspace promo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:05 Most likely a safety interlock, but you never know.
The weather tech mats for the spark are awesome. You can usually find them used in fb marketplace for cheap. No need to clean those carpeted mats again 🤣.
"Noise generator, nope" 👌
Chevy is the only company I've seen that gets mad at you for removing their plastic engine cover.
I suspect it's a litigation reduction thing. If people can run their cars with the covers off, then they'd be sued for all the fingers the belts eat.
@@samurphy So many belts on this car huh :P
If that's what that sensor is for, it would more likely be an effort to thwart third party repairs. GM doesn't care if people get hurt or die because of the safety of their products.
It's covering high voltage cables (orange=high voltage). It's most likely a safety thing...I'm betting that's the inverter below the plastic cover.
@Trashkov It's a safety interlock, a low voltage loop that disables the Inverter while the cover is off for servicing.
Take a shot every time Rich says “actually.” 😂😂😂
"Somebody took all the bulbs. Who does that?" That was funny! Great build by the way!
I know how my daughter must have felt/must feel when she's dealing with me and my shenanigans (I once convinced her at dusk to search for a carrot patch that I'd planted just outside the kitchedn window so I could watch her look for it in near-darkness without having to go to a different room). The sad part is that I *almost* had more sympathy for Rich's daughter than I do my own, then my "parental instincts" kicked in, and I was cheering for Rich.
"Hear that it needs some loving right there"
Can someone more knowledgeable give their input on this, but as an industrial mechanic I've always heard it's bad to run fluid pumps dry.
Your daughter is great! Its also great that you use your skills and drive to include your family and share it. Thank you!
@9:55 Not worried that plastic bits would circulate in the system and might clog it?
With you and Elon being so tight, i'm surprised he didn't invite you down to the launch.
Dude you are so funny. That part with your daughter was hilarious. I hope she wasn't too disappointed after your triple cross
Nice build. I was surprised by the torque. Pretty nifty.
6:40 wow!!!! Genius !!!!
Loved that bait and switch. XD
She said exactly what my wife would’ve said, “so you think I’m fat?”
I bought one.
Putting together front end. I think you need to have all temperature sensors and coolant working and that cover switch bolt connected before it gives you power. Also. I have to reset system. Right now says power system fault. Lightning bolt.
I have questions ...
Ki could use more details about how you fixed things, like the tee where the hose attached, that was very good work. Nice.
6:48 I like when you do this $hît, not so much when my body shop does it.
17:26 best part of the video... I laugh so hard 😂
lol fast turn signal is the chevy way of saying you have a problem without using a warning light
I built another one! - ruclips.net/video/eRnFzklXi4o/видео.html
There's electric bikes that cost more than this car lol 🤣
There are normal bikes that cost more than this car
All of my plenty bikes costs more then this car 😉
Wait 'till your grandkids get to watch your old videos.
Really enjoying your builds and I would love to go hybrid/electric for my commuter. Hoping you find yourself working on an ioniq at some point.
Those winter tyres never stood a chance!
