Hoovie has a rare talent and reminds me of a young Jerry Lewis especially the hitting a golf ball on the roof of the Jack Nicklaus edition Lincoln Town car it is still my favorite Hoovie video!!!!
Saw this video many times. That part with your grandma makes me emotional everytime. It shows the bond u had with her. I rarely comment on youtube but this time i had to. Came today(25 april 2020) to pay her respects after your insta post. RIP grandma!! Stay strong hoovie.
No...this guy is a fLLLLLng cllllnt...he is bullying his grandma for the LOLs of us M***unts watching this...the millennial little botch Hoovie seems to think grandma doesn't know what he's doing...she seems to. Bless this guy.
He's way better than Doug this guy is informative and has a style of presenting while Doug has an awkward way of presenting by telling stupid jokes or just nags about something.
Hey Hoovie, was scrolling your videos as usual and came across this old gem, I know your grand mother is no longer with you in person but she must be so proud of all your achievements. Keep up the good work and god bless your grandma
Your grandma reminds me so much of my mother that I lost a couple years ago. She was 89. I miss her dearly. Your video brought tears to my eyes! So glad you spend time with your grandma. People don't realize how important that is! It gets lonely in old age as friends and family pass on.
*That bit with your grandma at the end was sweet! wish mine were still around for moments like this. Appreciate your grand parents while you still have them people! if you don't you'll blink one day when you least expect it and they are gone and all you're left with is regrets that you can do nothing about*
RIP grandma...tyler's love and affection for you is oozing out of him in the video and makes me want to go into the next room and to give my 82year old grandma a hug
They are classics absolutely gorgeous to look at and drive that V8 was so smooth in both the way it ran and the way the torque came on. Works of art those cars are.
This brought a tear to my eye. I used to kid around with my Grand Mom the same till a couple years ago when we lost her. Enjoy your time with that lovely lady..and the car!
What an entertaining video, it prooves that you don't really need expensive gear to make nice videos. Sad to hear your grandma has past away, but the memories live on I guess. All the best from the Netherlands. Love your channel, I'm binge watching it right now.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos Tyler and always found you entertaining but my respect for you has grown immensely after seeing how much time you have for grand mother. Keep up the good work👍🏻
You have an incredible knack for making facts about cars of the past sound genuinely entertaining whilst having some humor often at your own expense thrown in and now you have an adorable grandma? Ok enough said. Subbed!
I guess I'm kinda of late to the party and just catching up on your videos. I am enjoying them tremendously and appreciate all your hard work, enthusiasm, and insight. I love what you're putting out there. I had to comment on this video because of your adorable grandmother. It's clear to see what a lovely relationship you two have. You can tell a lot about person by how he treats the older folks in their lives. More than anything you've done, this really impressed me. Looking at the comments below, it's obvious she has quite the fan base already. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
I remember those cars when they were new. I thought they were the coolest thing ever! And you're a good guy for taking your grandmother out and singing to her! (Also not a bad singer!)
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now, and this is the first time I've been jealous of another man's actions on RUclips. I'm jealous, not for the car you've inherited, but because you get to share moments like this with your grandmother. I wish I could share moments like this with my grandmother in my grandfather's Mercedes, but they've both passed. give your grandma a hug for us all, she's adorable!
If you want a beast Benz from that era buy a 1986-89 560SL (V8 5.6 liter) and install Euro lights and Euro bumpers. Leave everything else stock (except perhaps the turd brake light on the trunk of the 86/87 years). Beast of an engine, ABS brakes, airbags, central locking etc with the cool chassis designed in the late 60s.
Michael Broski I agree,The 500SL is a far nicer car to drive than the 560, the supension is SO much better, and faster to boot, this is why I own the 500, not a 560.
Super cool video and memory with your grandmother. From the elastic fail in her waistband story to car karaoke with her...priceless! Wish I could have that opportunity again with my grandmother.
I rarely comment on videos but I loved this one. When you and your grandma started singing Sinatra, I teared up. Made me miss my nana. You got your like and a new subscriber. Hope your grandma is doing well.
+Di Santos Various members of the Ewing family had SLs, but mostly they were '86-on facelift cars with the flat face alloys, Despite that, they're really good cars and getting to be worth a serious amount of money in Europe. It's only a matter of time before the values start going up in the US so if you want one get a good one now before the prices go into phone number territory...
gosportjamie yes BUT Bobby had a red 450sl 1980 in the 3rd or 4th season and even bfr that they had SLs. JR always had Sclass. I dated his granddaughter for a year in 2002!! She was very young and her father Preston(larry Hagmans son) called me and asked me to stay away from his daughter. We snuck around for another year! She idolized her grandfather. I NVR got to meet him sadly.
Hoovie! I’m buying a 1982 380SL and was going through RUclips looking for videos. Stumbled upon this gem. Hope all is well. I still get to watch your newest videos when I have down time. Looks like you and grandma had fun together
I would rather drive that car,on Wast coast Highway 101,than in Europe. Yes,for the most of the time,you can drive faster in Europe but it's usually very crowded.(And if you think that fuel is expensive in North America,...)
The pictures you should from your bowl cut days, shows a different MB. the lights are different, and the bumper is different and it's missing the square orange lights on the front, and the rims are different. In fact the one in the pictures looks like the 1983 SL you said was/is horrible. hmmmmm.... But you did do a great job on the video.
It has the skinny bumpers in those old photos. The car was federalized by adding us-spec headlamps, which I reversed a few years ago. I added some period correct AMG bits later like the lower valence, which might make you think the bumpers are different.
Wait, so I'm confused. You said that your grandma had the 500SL imported through the grey market in the '80s, but then all the pictures show it to have the U.S.-spec headlights.
Having owned several grey market Mercedes from the 70's and 80's the headlights were swapped with U.S. spec versions when imported. Also in many cases the park bench bumpers were also added. Though some importers were able to get away with welding a reinforcement plate onto the back of the european spec bumpers. Catalytic converters were also installed for post 1974 models as well on grey market cars when imported. What throws me off is the U.S. spec MB Tex interior instead of the velour upholstery. I believe it was an option on european models but very rare.
Cherish grandma, write down her stories, family history and recipes. My grandma just passed away unexpectedly, and while I had visited her that day, there is so much I wish I could have done.
It’s really great to see that you enjoy your Nanna’s company. I know a lot of people that just place theirs in the home and that’s it. Cherish every moment mate. God bless.
Just stumbled across this in recommended videos. Subbed. Like the video and the story behind the car. And your Grandma is cool :) Reminds me of my Nan who passed away a few months ago.
Love your cool videos! I must share this with a friend who works for the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Southern California, as he'll get a kick out of this video. Good stuff buddy!
wow...didnt think id have tears running down my face from this video. damn, I miss my grandmother.. hug your grandmother, hug her tight since i cant anymore
Your GMA is so sweet. Made me smile. Made her smile to see you singing Sinatra. Which, in turn made me smile. It was nice of you to show her off! Thank you for being a good grandson.
DUDE love your hillarious videos! I am also from KC and a passionate car enthusiast AMG too! Keep up the awesome work and you will keep growing exponentially! :)

+1 for grandma. We need more of her
OCTO Manual94 she is dead
rc today no she's not...
the turtle method that is hilarious
Damn straight- grandma is cool. Much respect for the lady
We like grandma...she's cool
Cherish your grandmother while you have her :)
Yep. Missing mine about now.
Missing my grandma and grandpa right about now too...... I always miss them!
James Fig, that sounds a bit dark.
Lost mine in 2017 at age 70 due to 2nd Cancer. Still miss her.
Hoovie, the sing-a-long with grandma is priceless and is just another reason why you car videos are the best on RUclips.
Joe Farace Agree
your*
Hoovie has a rare talent and reminds me of a young Jerry Lewis especially the hitting a golf ball on the roof of the Jack Nicklaus edition Lincoln Town car it is still my favorite Hoovie video!!!!
That was by far one of the best “grandma hangouts” ever. I would go and see her every chance I had. I never knew my grandmother. Your one lucky dood.
You have a beautiful grandmother! Great to see the relationship you have, plenty of people take their grandparents for granted.
HirsiHD WTCH Amen!
plenty of people have terrible grandparents aswell to be fair
I used to take my 85 year old aunt for a ride n my white 86 560 sl with the top down
Aw grandma is so adorable :)
and she had a bad a$$ car in her day gradma in a german hot rod
Great video, and became even better by taking your grandma out for a ride in her old car. Props
Such a heartwarming moment when Tyler and his Grandmother started singing Frank Sinatra! ❤️
God bless you for treating granny like the queen she is. Btw....sweet ride.
"and she had QUITE the dramatic story to tell" - cars and good humour. What a great new channel I have stumbled upon. More more more!
Ed H agreed! Informative, too.
Nice - your grandma is a treasure!
Saw this video many times. That part with your grandma makes me emotional everytime. It shows the bond u had with her. I rarely comment on youtube but this time i had to. Came today(25 april 2020) to pay her respects after your insta post. RIP grandma!!
Stay strong hoovie.
such a sweet boy taking his gram out for a ride in her old hot rod. made me tear up, hardcore.
No...this guy is a fLLLLLng cllllnt...he is bullying his grandma for the LOLs of us M***unts watching this...the millennial little botch Hoovie seems to think grandma doesn't know what he's doing...she seems to. Bless this guy.
I rarely comment on videos but I had to this time. Your are like a tolerable Doug Demuro. Keep up the good work!
He's way more objective than Doug DeMuro, some of whose articles on Jalopnik really piss off car enthusiasts.
he's just cooler!)
I like Doug's videos but I have to skip past the bits where he goes full short bus.
He's way better than Doug this guy is informative and has a style of presenting while Doug has an awkward way of presenting by telling stupid jokes or just nags about something.

It is so sweet to see your grandma here! I started crying because it reminded me of my grandma who passed away last month.
*That bit with your grandma at the end was sweet! wish mine were still around for moments like this.

RIP grandma...tyler's love and affection for you is oozing out of him in the video and makes me want to go into the next room and to give my 82year old grandma a hug
That's nice of you to spend time with your granny I wish mine was still around.
Good comparison on those two Mercedes
Went back again to watch you sing along with grandma.... My grandpa recently passed and this was super cool to see...
+1 for grandma! I like your videos! Keep up!
Liangshuo Xu *FUCK!!!!!!!*
Love how you were singing with grandma , that made me smile and she's a tear about my own grandmother. Thank you for that wonderful memory .
I wish i had gotten to spend this kind of quality time with my grandmother. She died when I was young. Enjoy every second you got
"I take it easy when I do take it out" *does a couple burnouts and floors it around corners*
those were the best looking Benz cars, and they still look great to this day
They are classics absolutely gorgeous to look at and drive that V8 was so smooth in both the way it ran and the way the torque came on. Works of art those cars are.
Grandma was just toooooooo adorable, loved the sing along at the end 😍
That was a sweet video, you singing with your grandmother. You can feel the love. Thanks for sharing. Makes me miss my grandmothers.
This brought a tear to my eye. I used to kid around with my Grand Mom the same till a couple years ago when we lost her. Enjoy your time with that lovely lady..and the car!
"The turtle method" - I was dying XD
Priceless...you and your grandmother singing together. Cherish every moment!👍🏾
New fan here. Wizard sent me. You made me miss my grandmother with this one. Great stuff.
Hey, anyone who serenades his grandmother in her old Merc is AOK in my books. Great vid dude!
awesome story! I was very scared you were going to scratch the top putting it back on, but you made it look easy lol
What an entertaining video, it prooves that you don't really need expensive gear to make nice videos. Sad to hear your grandma has past away, but the memories live on I guess. All the best from the Netherlands. Love your channel, I'm binge watching it right now.

Nice grandmother. Good Sinatra's song.
Subbed, and notification squad. Your videos are the best. I look forward to all future ones.
Such a great story about your great little car. I just love 500sl and
you shown some real interest. Your grandmother is so sweet. Thank
you
Wow! What a "golden moment " that was, spending precious time with your Grandmother. Priceless!
Great video! Keep it up, you're killing it.
rolling wid grandma I Love it keep up the good work
You have an incredible knack for making facts about cars of the past sound genuinely entertaining whilst having some humor often at your own expense thrown in and now you have an adorable grandma? Ok enough said. Subbed!
awesome cars, and love your grandma! over the past few weeks your channel is quickly becoming my favorite hoovie
Love this video. Benz and Sinatra!
My dad was one of those importers... oops LOL
lol the days are gone
The good things in life dont last.
Well then your dad was a true american patriot that we need more of.

Just started to watch your channel. By far this is my favorite one. Nice ending and very touching moment between you and grandma.
Just so you know, most of that "old mercedes" smell actually comes from the horsehair seat pads not the leather:)
Do R/C! yep. I love the smell of my brothers '70 beetle
Do R/C! I thought the same think. Volkswagen did the same thing. Had a very distinctive same, espically in the summer..😮
I love the deluxe horse's ass smell!
Great videos! loved seeing your grandmother. What a sweet lady!
I remember those cars when they were new. I thought they were the coolest thing ever!

MikeDLA exactly what I did. But tbh the 500SL r107 is still faster. Although the 560 had a lot of torque
Michael Broski I agree,The 500SL is a far nicer car to drive than the 560, the supension is SO much better, and faster to boot, this is why I own the 500, not a 560.
you have an awesome grandma!!!
The Mercedes brought me here, him and his grandmother singing together has me subscribed.
Hahaha, I love that song, what a great moment captured with your grandma, that's love 💕
Please include your grandma in more of your videos.
1985 is a great year for Mercedes Benz.
Yah they kind have gone to crap in recent years.
not really late 90s to mid 00s were the crap years.
The early 200's sucked. My family has lots of past 2010 benzes and they're great.
we have to go back
For sure!!!
Very recently discovered your channel (through RUclips's recommendations) and I'm liking the content so far. Keep it up!
Super cool video and memory with your grandmother. From the elastic fail in her waistband story to car karaoke with her...priceless! Wish I could have that opportunity again with my grandmother.
love grandma!
This is freaking hilarious!
how am I your first like in a 3 year old comment

I’m literally binge watching all of Hoovies’ old videos. And it is, freaking hilarious
I rarely comment on videos but I loved this one. When you and your grandma started singing Sinatra, I teared up. Made me miss my nana. You got your like and a new subscriber. Hope your grandma is doing well.
just fantastic - thank you and your grandmother for a lovely ride down memory lane !!

Thanks for not bursting into tears and sparing us that scene when you lifted the top.
Dude, you could have totally gone on for 10 more minutes.

I wish I had my grandmothers.

Hoovies Garage Great channel. Keep it up
Hoovies Garage reality debunked.. or something like that lol
Looks like the same steering wheel are in the old pics too. Maybe he swapped everything over?
or maybe your just an idiot that doesn't realise you can change bits over?
My first time watching you. I like your interaction with grandma. You are golden!
Good stuff man, this channel by far has some of my favorite videos. Keep it up 👍
My grandmother had a 1985 german-spec 280SL. It was a dog.
More grandma
First time I've commented in years on ANY VIDEO, but you got me with Grandma. Well done. Your character is on full display and you WIN. Nice one.
So much fantastic about this: big fan of mercedes benz, hilarious/heroic effort to put on that hardtop, and sweet drive with your grandma. Subscribed
Wait, so I'm confused. You said that your grandma had the 500SL imported through the grey market in the '80s, but then all the pictures show it to have the U.S.-spec headlights.
@GSR 01 I think it's far more likely they were damaged and the only replacement parts they could find were from a us spec
Having owned several grey market Mercedes from the 70's and 80's the headlights were swapped with U.S. spec versions when imported. Also in many cases the park bench bumpers were also added. Though some importers were able to get away with welding a reinforcement plate onto the back of the european spec bumpers. Catalytic converters were also installed for post 1974 models as well on grey market cars when imported.
What throws me off is the U.S. spec MB Tex interior instead of the velour upholstery. I believe it was an option on european models but very rare.
@@spoonified52 Thanks! I was wondering why the pictures didn't match the current car. It looks better in the non-US spec for sure.
It's surprising that Hoovie didn't explain in the video why the old photos with his grandma show a US spec car.
my c63s wagon is kind of a terrible Grand touring car bc I live in Switzerland and I can't open the top..... I really want a c63s convertible

+Justin Wong As the (former) Top Gear boys would say: "You bought the wrong car..."

+Justin Wong Oh well, at least you're brave enough to admit it...
Iv watched all your videos but this one touches home the most!
Blues you for Loving your grandmother and I thank you for sharing that video singing with her, wonderful.
I know I'm in the vast minority, but I prefer the look of the US spec cars. I just think the Euro ones kind of lacked character.
So do I
jwatwater I always thought that too. I liked the US bumpers and ridges below the door. That's just me...
Cherish grandma, write down her stories, family history and recipes. My grandma just passed away unexpectedly, and while I had visited her that day, there is so much I wish I could have done.
It’s really great to see that you enjoy your Nanna’s company. I know a lot of people that just place theirs in the home and that’s it.
Cherish every moment mate. God bless.
Watching your videos make me smile everytime. Keep up the good work & never change!..
drove a 560sl few years back a Mercedes from when they really made well built cars, great channel by way absolutely love it !
Double plus video Tyler, big points for being so sweet to your grandma!
Just stumbled across this in recommended videos. Subbed. Like the video and the story behind the car. And your Grandma is cool :) Reminds me of my Nan who passed away a few months ago.
