  • Buying my Dad his dream car and surprising him with it out of nowhere was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I surprised my dad with a new car and he did not expect it at all! We saved over 75% off of MSRP by not buying it from the dealership!
    With luxury cars it's better to let someone else buy it new and take the huge depreciation hit first. Then you can buy it at an amazing price with low mileage and just a few years old. We wrapped the car with an Indulgent Blue wrap to make it look amazing and we learned how to change the oil in an exotic car to save a ton of money!

      Wow, what a response time ! Just want to let you know I found your channel a while ago but didn't have a car to work on yet. About a year ago I bought an 18 year old BMW E46 to a complete scam of a garage. The car looked fantastic from the outside but the garage had cleared the codes on the dashboard right before giving me the keys and I didn't know what clues to look for when buying my first car... Shortly after buying it, I got a quote from BMW to get it back in decent conditions (3000 euros).
      I never meant for this car to become a project car but it did. Your videos are the reason I got the motivation to start learing how to fix this car. I'm almost done getting my now favourite car into amazing shape for about 800 euros (including buying the tools). And that doesn't even count the money my dad could save when I started doing all the maintenance of his Saab 95. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all your work, for saving me from bank ruptcy and giving me one of the most rewarding hobby I ever had !

    10 Years ago I lost my dad to cancer, for 10 years I had this feeling inside of me that I couldn't identify.
    This video made me realize what it was, I never had the chance to give back to my dad for everything he did for me in life.
    Wow, 10 years and bam it gets clear as water. Heart warming to see this Chris, one day we do not have our parents left, even if we want the to be eternal.
    I was 23 years old when my dad passed, now I am 33, take care all!

      Thanks. Much appreciated. He was the first person in his family to graduate from high school. He went on to put in 80 hours past his master's degree of further education. He was a career-long public school educator and administrator, athletic coach, community anchor, and family rock. But, he wasn't a DIY guy. It just wasn't his thing. However, it is my thing.
      I buy nothing new. Cars, dirt bikes, street bikes, household appliances, power tools, welders, and anything else, in great shape, but used. I also hold out for the absolute minimal cost.
      Dad was always stunned at the unbelievable prices I paid for my finds. At every phone call, he'd be dying to know about the latest acquisition. It's not like I have to buy used (high-end IT career), I just can't stand the unnecessary waste in addition to the challenge to get more for less. He really did beam when I would fill him in on the most recent score.
      This whole last year, every single time I uncovered a new dirt-cheap find, I'd think, "He's gonna love this one." Then, I'd catch myself...
      I really can't complain. Very few have someone in their life like my Dad. But, damned if I don't miss him terribly.

I joined the Marine corps after HS and while serving overseas it was stolen from the garage I had it in behind my dad's house. It has never been found in all these years. So for the last 28 years I have been looking to replace that car and have yet to do it.

      Previous month I was able to withdraw my first five figure check ever!!! I've been working for this company online for 24 months now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about that is the fact that I am not that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard awareness of internet and elementary typing skill...Great thing about this work is the more time I got with my family. I am in a position to devote quality time with my relatives and buddies and look after my children and also going on holiday break with them very consistently. Don't miss this chance and make sure to react quick. This is what I do... *acttoday48­.­c­o­m*
