You got a divorce Sam? I was assuming you were joking? If so sorry to hear that man!
😂😂😂 How many Ex do you have Sam sheeech
thank you for continuing to love, care for, and support your ex wife sam. till death do us part!
@@shortvidz9576 LOL, with a stepmom like he's got, he'll get a lot of ex's, other mens ex's.
@@shizzavip these things are always scammed designed to make money off of us. everything has a flashy app to get our personal info. if it truly saved people money then they would be out of business and have zero business model.
Excited to see the C7. Check engine is probably the o2 sensors or lack there of.
That’s what I was thinking too.
Congrats on the C7. I can't wait to see you work on it and improve it like you did with the C6 Corvette. Gotta love those GM performance rides.
C7 with aftermarket exhausts sound great, if he could procharge it that would be fire
I can't believe people were still pulling into the pump with all that smoke, if I saw that I'd definitely hit the next station lol
Welcome to Atlanta bro. Grab some waffles while you're here.
Look who was driving it. I have heard of that in North Minneapolis (equal to the Southside of Chicago) with people driving with just 3 tires on their car!?!? Yes the hop-a-long tires fails so they either just removed it or never had one to begin with!!
SAM!!! I just realized that you're going to be one of those guys that'll have those "barn finds" in the future when we're like 70+ years old 🤣🤣🤣
TRUE!!!
"Not for sale.... gonna finish it one day"
@@donaldcolbert8317 LOL! Hear it all the time!
The look on your face when you did the half throttle was gold😂😂😂and fear
Slow cranks can also be corroded ground wires, beyond the terminals that you replaced. I love simple fixes that are easily overlooked.
Sometimes even adding another direct power feed to the starter ( by means of a relay) solves a slow/ weak crank issue.
@@paulsz6194 Or rusty ground points !
Sam, speaking for myself, what I want to see is affordable, well supported cars that can be rehabilitated by a shadetree for not a lot of money. Which probably translates into domestic cars. I have neither the money nor the patience to deal with exotics. It doesn't surprise me that the Corvette videos did so well. If I watch your videos dealing with exotics, I watch it the same way I'd watch a comic dealing with a banana peel.
I must admit I watch for the smooth glide into advertising. Slicker than an Arkansas used car dealer.
We bought a repoed 2007 Chevy Trailblazer in 2009, it now has 150,000 miles on it and has been my wife's daily driver since we bought it (at a Chevy dealer, with the factory warranty still intact). Ever since GM silently changed the ignition switch design, it's been mostly trouble free (we went through about 5 ignition switches before that).
3:10 You Samcracced me up by tying in the poor SOB's damaged 4Runner to the Upside promo. LMAO!
I want to see the mustang boss 302 conversion project progress and this Corvette of course please retain the black on black don't change that!!
I like high mileage cars if I can try them first and they have been cared for. They often drive really smoothly and are cheap.
Ha Ha had to go back & check, when you flipped the vid it looked like a Right Hand Drive!
Hello form NZ. We dont really get cars like this down here.
The check engine light on the C7 might and I suspect, will be because the Ecu/O2 sensors are missing the catalytic converters.
The worst thing on a C6 could be the non mechanic door openers.
A friend of mine had one and because of this flaw only for a short time.
Sometimes the openers didn't work So he wasn't able to enter or leave the car in normal manner.😉
So he distrusted the Vette and sold it.
I think there’s an override in case you get locked in - a manual release somewhere near the bottom of the door? It should be in the owner’s manual.
Missing O2 sensors/cats were my first thought about the CEL…
I didn’t think an exhaust shop would touch cats… Thought it was illegal 🤷🏻♂️
@@stephen3164 yea it’s not that big of a deal lol, plus the replacement handles were only like $70
@@Knight21030 you can buy headers without cats. That’s what the cel on my c6 is for.
@@richardjameswellingtoniv9682 Yessir, but I think they sell that as an “off road” kit… at least they do in Maryland 😆
Very interested in the 2nd video of the gated shifter. 👍🏻
Also, what’s up with the 599? 😲
Congrats on the C7. Interested to see what trouble you got yourself into with that one. 😉😂
All videos coming very very soon!!!
@@Samcrac Thank you
@@dula1020 *jo
love the vette series thanks man
I bet the check engine light is the cats missing on the corvette if it runs okay at the moment.
The C7 is the first car in a long time I've actually cared about. With the other cars I just watched to support the channel till you got something I cared about, haha!
Samcrac the king of the ad tie-in
Excited for the 599, my favorite Ferrari as it looks and performs better than a 550/575, can be had with a V12 that can produce an unearthly howl when paired with a Technical Garage Sasaki headers/exhaust, plus a manual can be easily swapped in
Lower ball joints are the known Achilles heel on many different Toyota models. This isn’t one of them but it looks like that is what happened.
Was going to say the same thing, super common on the Sequoia & Tundra
Ow look the mysterious "Whompy Wheel" is still happening.
I thought you had learnt your lesson with Range Rovers
Sam you're crazy good at working in sponsors. 🤣🤣
There's way too many of them in this video.
Glad to see you’re now all in with gen v engines. The 6.2s are just a blast!
I always think about repos: Can't make their payments? Definitely no service history.
Seen many repo BMW M Cars which are ruined.
YOOO SAM ive been watching for a long time HUGE FAN!!
Okay, the C7 was DEFINITELY SUPER UN-bearably Loud!!!!!! but that's a simple fix! ;) Heat wrapped, Long-Tube-exhaust headers with High-flow cats and a nice X pipe! Maybe you ALSO get the 3" dual cat back Electric-dual-mode Exhaust that had the big nice Black or chrome or polished center exit dual exit mufflers with either 2 or 4 Slash-cut (angle cut) tips. How does her Surgery turn out?? When you put your foot down and She immediately sounds like a purpose built racing machine!
it's true what they say: fire is more fun with friends and so whenever my car is pouring out great clouds of smoke, the first place i think to pull over is always the gas station!
If you are on fire, you will get plenty of help at a gas station!!😂
I've owned a C6 and currently own a C7. I love my C7, but C6 is my favorite Corvette of all time... Technology wise, C7 is amazing, but the fun driving and modability, C6 is hands down your best bet.
That forerunner had the common lower ball joint failure that was typical of that era Toyota.
He "did a little spit shine in it"... Bet he learned that from his step mom... Lmao 😂😂😂
Meant to mention on that Porche video, seen ChrisFix's long term head sealant test? Its worth watching if you've not seen it.
Well done on getting the ramps installed
Lower control arm ball joint took a vacation, and the wheel followed.
As far as exhaust for the c7 check out corsa performance exhaust they typically have some of the BEST exhaust in my opinion
I know you're a super car kind of guy but the American Vintages are my favs!
Just when i’m about to give up hope for a new video, you come back and redeem yourself. Really good video, thanks sam!!!!👍🏿🔥😂😂😂
Lookinf forward yure work on the C-7, good luck
Keep great work up sam love from Australia 🦘
My vote: Any Corvette video over anything else :) I'm sad to see the C6 go but also excited to see what's going on with that C7.
I don't remember, did you fix the hood opening stuff?
I can confirm Sam. I bought a 2011 Ram single cab short bed sport years back. Slick looking. Quick truck. It was a repo and had problem after problem. After problem. If you can't afford the oil changes, don't buy the car
I'm bidding on this. If I win I will fly to Florida and drive it back to Detroit, recording the entire trip.
Bid in LOW increments! I want the new owner to really enjoy it.
@@Samcrac I failed to mention, I might have to steal step mom for the trip back. 😁
A small note on your L405 Range Rover , remember that it was , as all LR products , built in a haunted house !
Low-restrictive mufflers diver more horsepower. I put two on a Crown Vic cop package I had and got an extra 10 horsepower!
It will be good to see the C7 have its issues ironed out.
My hobby is photographing vehicles with non-compliant exhaust and sent it to the EPA.
I would expect the check engine light is down to the cats being cut off without the management being remapped to ignore the exhaust O2.
2:25 I had a similar issue the other day, I can send a picture to your Social media, it was a complete failure of the control arm, not as dramatic but felt like I lost a tire, pulled into a store, everything was fine (kicking the tires), so I tried to move it about 50 feet up the road and the whole tire jerked back and off the broken control arm. Broke a few other components but she’s back in shape for the most part.
After auction, the high milege Corvette confirm a good deal!
Not surprised at the 250k mile Corvette. I think modern engines will easily achieve more than 250k and most people sell cars with loads of life left in them. This was not always the case.
Sam, those "new" battery terminals will leave you stranded. You need a good crimped connector. Those will corrode and cause you grief.
Years ago, I saw someone in a chrysler sebring making a slow right and the left side strut exploded and the wheel was hanging off the car like that SUV.
Always love to see what’s going on with a Range Rover
The thought of you and a Range Rover is terrifying! Lets see what happens with the C7,... I trust you can straighten out the issues... 👍🏾
I can’t wait for a follow up to the c8 and the Range Rover.
This Corvette project is so exciting :D
Sam might be surprised about how that car was driving with 1 wheel but if you come down to El Paso TX you’ll see something like that just about every week 😂
Okay avoiding El Paso
My first mustang was a 1995 GT. It had many electrical issues. One of them was 40 ohms of resistance between the battery post and the battery terminal! I couldn't understand how 2 parts that were literally tight and touching could have so much resistance.
I would like to get a complete fleet update on ALL vehicles! Thanks SAM
Every time my wife and I pass by somebody with a broken suspension like the guy at the gas station I tell her; 'Never ignore suspension noises darling'
The 4runner in that gas station had its lower ball joint fail on him. That's exactly what happens when they go.
Don't ignore your balljoints! I've seen a couple let go, thankfully it doesn't look like that 4-runner was at speed.
Toyota lower ball joint failure. Super common on these older Toyota SUV, TRucks.
Definitely looking fwd to the C7 project. Give it the same love you gave the C6 & looking fwd to those Vids!
The C7 is by far my favorite Corvette, I can not wait to see what you have in store for your new C7 .
Love that C6 so much and most excited for the C7 for future videos
"Came on like a Heart Attack... Hey Baby..."
This corvette is proof that if you buy one built on a wednesday where the people cared about how they built it they can last much longer than others.
Thanks for the update on the Porsche.
That C7, when you go WOT, you should be put back in your seat. That thing is slow. Cut the cats and muffler will kill the engine performance.
Wait. Weren’t you the one who hated the sound of your Aston Martin too? I.. it’s the red on my neck that makes me love the sound of a loud car. I am guessing your Harley is as quiet as your moped
You have that check engine light because those catalytic converters were removed from the c7. Nice c7 by the way.
thank you sam carlegion
Nice to see Sam buying more hooptie cars again, this is my cup of tea! Range Rovers are ostentatious piles of doo-doo.
Honestly just get a used NPP exhaust off the c7 groups for cheap and hook up the npp valves again. Make your own mild 2 wild exhaust controller with a $20 relay and add some headers and high flow cats. Then you have a loud car when you want and a very quiet stock like car when you need it. That's what I have on my c7 and it's perfect. I have debated throwing 2k at a corsa npp exhaust but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Doing such a super job on everything Sam keep it up = I wish I knew you for the help I need = great job
Thank you Armando. I appreciate you watching!
Love the Crac..Awesome content, good job Sam A++
Hope you shut down that active fuel management.
I love how the cheap Chinese battery analyzer said TESTTING
The c8 definitely 02 sensors are the reason that check engine light is on
Tire didn't pop off the suspension did.... Wow...
I have a 95 and a 02 corv conv and the 02 was my favorite !!Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 know /see👨🔧Samcrac
Love the channel. That car is way better than the video that Tavarish posted. The “Lamborghini” he bought in the UK and has to ship over here !
Pretty sure the check engine light is the cats being gone. I don't know why people do that to a street car. I cut my mufflers off but left the cats and the sound is great.
You need to wear some white New Balance running shoes when driving it . The spongy bottoms cut the drone. All middle aged men know this. If this doesn’t work you just have to ride your riding lawnmower more often to lose a bit of hearing .
My man was like, let me drive in the gas station and check my tire pressure, im sure it'll be fine.
I am for moving out of a lane BUT... A "$50" repair can become a "$500" repair fast if you keep going 😐...
100 bucks says they didn't code out the straight pipe mod . That's why the check engine light is on
The only time you've got more inquiries @Samcrac is when you have Step Mom on.
I'd say the CEL is for emissions
Finally a car that is louder than Sam
Looking forward to the C7 videos
Can't wait to see more brotha! Bring back step mom
It's a shame to see the C6 disappear from your channel. A high mileage vette would be great to follow.
The C7 is the best looking Corvette ever
Me being a guy who loves cars buy doesn't work on them has no idea how that big American car should sound like. To me it sounded sweet. All powerful and V8 sounding, maybe V12. To me being untrained it sounded sweet but to the men there who are trained in engine tuning picked up a problem straight away.
The ball joint broke for sure 😭😭 just look at the way the tire is
The C7 is definitely a good-looking car. Looking forward to seeing you work the Magic (?)...
