Don’t you dare apologize Dan! You will always have ignorant haters. You guys know your audience and know what your doing. Your just waiting on the inevitable blessing from the algorithm. Your content is top notch, and it’s awesome that anyone brought a destroyed 458 back to life! It’s sad to see them not drive. You can drive this one like you stole it🤙
Thank you for posting this. Follow up brother Dan I don't usually complain about things but the two other associates have such a horrible and cocky attitude if they weren't striving for that they were, and if they were striving for that, they excelled in it you on the other hand, bring a serious"real guy" view to this whole situation. I always say, jealousy is a horrible emotion, and if your associates intention was to make them look bitter they to achieve that again thank you so much for your post. Thank you for your humbleness and your education. I am supportive of everything you do!
Your straight forwardness about what you sell is top flight! Most dealers don't offer your level of honesty. If I was ever in the market I would totally consider purchasing from you guys. Hope you guys continue to grow your dealership!
Dan, great explanation, and in my opinion, not necessary. You said it best, It is a salvaged title 458 with 90k miles, it is what it is. This is a testament to Ferrari for building an incredible car, and to shut up the haters for constantly putting down these cars and calling them unreliable! Kudos to you, Hoovie, the Wizard and the rest in the chain of owners for keeping her alive and not parting her out! Craig from Indy
Thanks for the back story, most of us were speculating at best. I think it’s great a guy bought it and put it together in his driveway. Think of what he learned doing that. What surprises me is how it’s changed hands after that. Usually cars like this only get worse. I totally got what the previous 2 videos were about, but I’m a normal guy subscriber. I actually started watching this channel before I started watching Hoovie, and I only started watching Hoovie because a friend of my niece knows Hoovie somehow and was telling me about him and his channel, yes I’m from Kansas and live somewhat near Hoovie but don’t know him. It made total sense why Hoovie bought the car, fit in with the dynamics of his channel content. I initially was confused why Dan bought it but the explanation in this video answers that question. But I recall thinking before that video of you picking it up was over wow I can’t wait to hear what Josh has to say. I wasn’t disappointed. Then was highly amused with the second video of them driving the hell out of it. I wonder if a lot of the folks that were offended were carryovers from Hoovie and Wizards channels. Wizard and Josh aside from being knowledgeable mechanics are nothing alike. I think if some of those guys watch your content with an open mind they will get the entertainment those 2 videos gave us long time subscribers. Thanks for the update Dan
Love the channel and your no nonsense approach to each vehicle you acquire and sell. I look forward to a future purchase letting you vet my first Ferrari Purchase! I trust your evaluation over any hired PPI inspection. Kudos!
That's a great story and it's nice to be able to find out the history and also get pictures and video on it... I think that would've been great on the devaluation tour 2022
In terms of content, it's way more interesting for a bigger audience to follow this build process of the 458, than some video about polishing the headlights of a spotless 458.
Everything that your channel found wrong with the car , The Car Wizard said the same thing. Like screws from Lowe's etc.. That car would make a great track car. Also I still like to see a Walmart or Jiffy lube oil change. lol
It seems the damage is not so bad that the chassis was bent anywhere, just the panels that attach to it which in my mind says this car can be repaired to perfect condition if you want to. This poor thing deserves a second chance. Its like a badly treated dog but with so much potential still. And I love that its high mileage...thats awesome.
The way you describe things understandable, reasonable, polite and nice. One guy on the previous video was acting like a privileged jerk and his tone and profanity was what turned me off. Maybe it did others as well.
If you know a couple of previous owners, why not get them on the channel interview them and get them to point some highlights of the car that they sorted out? Especially the driveway guy. That would be fun!
That is the perfect driver's car. That is the Ferrari I would want to own. Something to beat on have fun and at the end of the day you still have a Ferrari.
@@normalguysupercar Just had a look thought my old owners manuals. The ratios are very different. 458 Cali 1st 3.077 2.822 2nd 2.185 2.053 3rd 1.626 1.379 4th 1.286 1.079 5th 1.028 0.966 6th 0.839 0.788 7th 0.693 0.651 Final 5.140 4.444 So not only are the ratios themselves very different, but the final drive ratio difference is huge. Would you consider mentioning in a video where you drive it, at what speed the car drives at say 2500 rpm? Would be very interesting.
Really like the hard top convertible on the 458.... Richards looks incredible especially in that unique color red....i understand why Ferrari owners are always smiling... looking forward to being in that club....
Subframes for a 458s are cheap relative to valuation. So are better than original body parts, and someone wasnt that well versed on this market when attempting repairs. The 458 parts market runs deep for rebuilds, and that is where i would start.
I think one of the main issues with this purchase is that because it was Hoovie's car your video got a huge amount of views. Lots of new viewers is terrific for NGS, but a lot of those new viewers aren't familiar with how Dan and NGS role.. Of course those who know Dan knew he wasn't being rude to Hoovie, but the new viewers found something to get butt-hurt about... No apologies needed Dan, your honesty about each car is rare nowadays, and that's why everyone loves NGS, and keeps coming back. Just my 2 pennies, for what's it worth...
Very true. In general it’s also worth noting that Dan’s and Hoovie’s channel have very different viewers and demographics. Many of us who follow Dan’s channel are part of the exotic car community, and thus many have some insight to what is being talked about. This also means that it is easier to understand some of the jokes and why some things are viewed upon as they are. Hoovie’s channel cater to a very different crowd. A mix of car guys who think the DIY aspect is interesting but with no experience from the exotic car community, and then a lot of viewers who just like the whole Hoovie thing and Car Trek. The latter will not only have a harder time understanding where Dan is coming from, but also fiercely defend their idol. This was a clash of two different demographics. Dan, don’t let it get to you. It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t- you can’t win when you are dealing with fans who are personally invested. Keep doing what you are doing. 👍😎
For me this is my type of Ferrari, cheap, healthy drivetrain and can be driven without fucks given. And regarding the first owner i actually remember some Robs videos with a crashed 458 years ago, so its possible is this one.
Pleased you cleared that up, was about to un-subscribe, based on previous comments and insinuations towards Hoovie and wizard. You also work in your garage.
this looks like a fun toy you could actually park at Wallyworld without too much worry. Hoovie and Wizard are doing great (heck your ferrari came with doors!!) it is hilarious people don't understand YT after all these years. Does the guy who rebuilt the front end have a youtube channel?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Rob Rental. His rental company seems to have the tragic misfortune to draw customers who are goons, idiots or criminals the way the honey draws flies. I don’t know how the guy manages to stay in business.
@@normalguysupercar That is something I thought I heard Enzo Ferrari say about the stereos in Ferraris - all you need is the exhaust - or something like that.
You pretty much said it like it was. It is a good driver car that is not perfect but the other guy flipped out. I thought that is because he is likely a purist and has to have everything perfect OEM like the crazy Ferrari people. Hoovie and the car wizzard are not that way they purposely make vehicles that have been "well used" into good driving cars that you get to enjoy without freaking out over the small things like rock chips
I would love a car like that beat the crap of it pull up to DD and get coffee drive it the throw it in the track with boys then stop at Walmart then race home park it next my hellcat 😂
Don't worry Dan. I think most of your channel viewers understand your humor and those who aren't doesn't matter. All of you are doing fantactic job and you need to be proud what you achieve. You, Hoovie and Car Wizad knows this car history and that's what matter the big picture.
Yeah, but that first video was pretty brutal though. I don't think I have heard that many swear words in one video EVER. lol I get it. That's your shtick. It was hilarious.
You dont need to explain yourself. If his fanboys are upset or hoovie, pound salt. You have established who and what you are and what you do. Hoovie , for pete sakes , does videos of " cheapest supercars" and then beat them into the ground. You are a dealer, he isnt. I cant imagine walking into a dealer or even personal party and not point out things that i see then looking at the asking price and either accept or negotiate. You've always have been the same person since i saw your first videos. i can't say that for hoovie and "others" .
Sounds like Hoovie and someone else got their noses out of joint for no reason...it's like buying a camaro expecting a ferrari like expierence nuff said.
@@normalguysupercar I have no doubt he is knowledgeable but you can be knowledgeable without being a complete ass. It’s fine. I’ll just skip the videos he’s in from now on. Like you said he isn’t in many.
Don’t you dare apologize Dan! You will always have ignorant haters. You guys know your audience and know what your doing. Your just waiting on the inevitable blessing from the algorithm.

Well Josh is a self proclaimed asshole but he's a good guy to have on your side and I personally love his brutal honesty.
Great video. Apparently not everyone watches all the videos. It’s been a great series of videos. Keep up the good work.
For sure. Even if they watch a video they don't watch all of it

Yes I think you got it spot on.
I get it, but, it’s the context of how it was said, and click bait, to anger, lure drama.
Like the Friend of your niece knows hoovie in real life?
Love the channel and your no nonsense approach to each vehicle you acquire and sell. I look forward to a future purchase letting you vet my first Ferrari Purchase! I trust your evaluation over any hired PPI inspection. Kudos!
Thanks!
Would be cool to get all 5 past owners on a Thursday night live to discuss their ownership experiences while having owned the car.
Lol oh man
@@normalguysupercar Ok this needs to happen!
That's a great story and it's nice to be able to find out the history and also get pictures and video on it... I think that would've been great on the devaluation tour 2022
Oh yeah it would have been perfect on the tour

Great video - enjoyed this one !!!!
Best of luck with the 458
Thank you

Haha thanks
It's all good Dan keep up the good work!
Thanks
Totally understand that you weren’t trying to be malicious. Glad you got this car - it’s definitely in the right hands!
Thanks

Yes indeed
The way you describe things understandable, reasonable, polite and nice. One guy on the previous video was acting like a privileged jerk and his tone and profanity was what turned me off. Maybe it did others as well.
Same here. The car was below his standard he said. That says more about him than the car.
Eh Josh is Josh. He's a pedantic asshole and honestly that's why I appreciate him. He knows more about these cars than most people can imagine
If you know a couple of previous owners, why not get them on the channel interview them and get them to point some highlights of the car that they sorted out? Especially the driveway guy.
That would be fun!
Interesting idea
That is the perfect driver's car. That is the Ferrari I would want to own. Something to beat on have fun and at the end of the day you still have a Ferrari.
Yup!
From crash to salvage to Hoovie’s Garage… 😵💫
Yup
Wow. That Cali transmission is interesting. That would probably account for why Josh thought it lacked power. Totally different gearing.
Could be true
@@normalguysupercar
Just had a look thought my old owners manuals. The ratios are very different.
458 Cali
1st 3.077 2.822
2nd 2.185 2.053
3rd 1.626 1.379
4th 1.286 1.079
5th 1.028 0.966
6th 0.839 0.788
7th 0.693 0.651
Final 5.140 4.444
So not only are the ratios themselves very different, but the final drive ratio difference is huge.
Would you consider mentioning in a video where you drive it, at what speed the car drives at say 2500 rpm? Would be very interesting.
@@AB-80X this explains the crazy mileage I got driving to Phoenix
@@normalguysupercar
Lol. That would do it. You should do a side by side race with another 458 or with one of those Dragy things. Would be fun to see.
Really like the hard top convertible on the 458.... Richards looks incredible especially in that unique color red....i understand why Ferrari owners are always smiling... looking forward to being in that club....
Yes indeed

You can get parts from other wrecked cars often for much cheaper too
I like it just like that! You can ride it without any worries!
Yup
That car would be a perfect candidate for a track car. Build a turbo setup, make it crazy, and drive the absolute hell out of it.
Yes exactly
I think one of the main issues with this purchase is that because it was Hoovie's car your video got a huge amount of views.

@@AB-80X thank you. I appreciate this
Should rename it the Ferrari 458 NFG(No Fu...) . That would look cool as a badge on the back.
I like that
@@normalguysupercar 458 NFG Iturdia. Lol
geez had no idea so many people were butthurt by the last video.. even wizard asked why you would want to buy it lol
Yeah we upset some people. It happens more often than you'd think. Lol
If no one is offended after I show up...I failed. Someone should check me into a care facility.
At the end of the last video Josh (mechanic) said that he would buy it and drive the bleep out of it, so I don't see why anybody would be offended.
Exactly
But I wouldn't take it to the Country Club, that I'm not a member of anyway.
That's a badass car. Video Bob farted in that car. LOL. Great videos and story.
Lol yup
The 458 Iturdia was born a poor red child.
Lol
Great video. Couldn’t stop reading the “Attention 6000 lbs”
Haha yes

Pleased you cleared that up, was about to un-subscribe, based on previous comments and insinuations towards Hoovie and wizard. You also work in your garage.

I'm glad you are being honest about hoovie, and acknowledging that hoovie didn't jack you
Of course he didn't! I never said he did.
@@normalguysupercar thank you replying I appreciate it. And thank you for making it clear that you and your crew were not shifting on hoovie or wizard
this looks like a fun toy you could actually park at Wallyworld without too much worry. Hoovie and Wizard are doing great (heck your ferrari came with doors!!) it is hilarious people don't understand YT after all these years. Does the guy who rebuilt the front end have a youtube channel?
Thank you. I don't think he does but I'll ask
Incredible!
Thanks
Dan - when did the interior get swapped for red? In all of the other photos/video you show the interior is tan...
I'm not sure honestly
That dude who has the Indy Ferrari shop should buy this and use it as a loaner
Lol
I wouldn't put my clients in it. But I'd let the guys use it for errands and parts runs and picking up lunch.
Hoovie has a rabid fanbase that will defend him no matter what, even if it's joking. Local people I know aren't his biggest fan, I'll just say that
Interesting. Well I like him
Show us the Meglaren!!!
Haha we will
Paint it or wrap it that would up its game a lot. the gold wheels paint them also or get another set.
We plan to paint the wheels
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a Rob Rental. His rental company seems to have the tragic misfortune to draw customers who are goons, idiots or criminals the way the honey draws flies. I don’t know how the guy manages to stay in business.
Yeah
Great story.
Thanks
I’ve watched a few of your videos now, and I can tell you this: I really like your style. 😊👍👍
Well thank you!
How were the brakes on it? Since its using brakes from 2 different cars that aren't Ferraris
Well given they are steel and not carbon ceramic they certainly don't stop as fast but they are decent.
What a great shop car ..you should fit a tow bar so you can trailer parts etc..not something you'd see ever 🤣
Damn keyboard warriors and their feelings. Stay strong Dan the Man.
Lol thanks
Yea, I want to see the MegLaren!
You shall
The chevy study the engine design as well
Yup
That video just disappeared while I was watching it? Did you take it private? That wasn't necessary.
I felt it was the right thing to do to show contrition.
Isn't the exhaust sound the best stereo possible? ;)
Yeah no complaints there
@@normalguysupercar That is something I thought I heard Enzo Ferrari say about the stereos in Ferraris - all you need is the exhaust - or something like that.
All well said.
Thanks
Are you going to sell or keep it as a shop car?
Sell
I remember the days when NGS said if you don't like it go F yourself.
Who cares what people think YOUR A NORMAL GUY ! keep doing YOU DAN we LOVE YOU !
LOL I still feel that way. :)
You pretty much said it like it was. It is a good driver car that is not perfect but the other guy flipped out. I thought that is because he is likely a purist and has to have everything perfect OEM like the crazy Ferrari people. Hoovie and the car wizzard are not that way they purposely make vehicles that have been "well used" into good driving cars that you get to enjoy without freaking out over the small things like rock chips
Basically
I am pretty sure ppl associated with this car is on the FERRARI LIFE TIME BAN LIST..
Lol Justin Bieber owned it then?
You will be lucky to turn a profit on that.
Possibly
can't you check carfax to see if rob ferretis company owned it
Yes assuming it's not under some LLC name or whatever
I dump all my cash into property and then you come up with a Ferrari I can afford. Dang.
Lol
I would love a car like that beat the crap of it pull up to DD and get coffee drive it the throw it in the track with boys then stop at Walmart then race home park it next my hellcat 😂
Lol
Fix the ac and send it.
Agreed
Could make a great track car
For sure
This was sweet indeed. lol
Thanks
Don't worry Dan. I think most of your channel viewers understand your humor and those who aren't doesn't matter. All of you are doing fantactic job and you need to be proud what you achieve. You, Hoovie and Car Wizad knows this car history and that's what matter the big picture.
Thank you
I laughed and laughed and laughed, a sense of humor is an endangered species these days it seems
Yes indeed
I never got the impression you dissed hoovie or the wizard. I think you referred to the guys before them
Even then we weren't necessarily crapping on the owners, just the condition of the car
Yeah, but that first video was pretty brutal though. I don't think I have heard that many swear words in one video EVER. lol I get it. That's your shtick. It was hilarious.
Josh is just a foul mouthed asshole and that's what's great about him. Lol
imagine getting mad over a video opinion...lol
Happens all the time.... Sadly
I'll take it for 50k.
No thanks
You dont need to explain yourself. If his fanboys are upset or hoovie, pound salt. You have established who and what you are and what you do. Hoovie , for pete sakes , does videos of " cheapest supercars" and then beat them into the ground. You are a dealer, he isnt. I cant imagine walking into a dealer or even personal party and not point out things that i see then looking at the asking price and either accept or negotiate. You've always have been the same person since i saw your first videos. i can't say that for hoovie and "others" .
Thanks!
People gunna be butt-hurt, get over it.
Yup
Don't be sorry if people are "offended" now a days
Everyone loves being the victim
True
Sounds like Hoovie and someone else got their noses out of joint for no reason...it's like buying a camaro expecting a ferrari like expierence nuff said.
Lol
Load of fuss about nothing! It's all just entertainment, isn't it?
Well yes but there's actual people behind it all
I get the point of this video but I just can’t watch any more videos with Josh in them. He’s not funny. He’s pretentious and annoying.
Well he's only in our videos occasionally. I think if you saw him working in cars you'd appreciate his knowledge
@@normalguysupercar I have no doubt he is knowledgeable but you can be knowledgeable without being a complete ass. It’s fine. I’ll just skip the videos he’s in from now on. Like you said he isn’t in many.
