I’m the owner of that 1990 ford probe 🙋🏽 my dad found it and got it for me as my first car still in hight school and unfortunately I got rear ended by a charger at a red light
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds yeah it was 2020 i believe or close to it, he didn’t break so the car took all the weight a force and my car burly moved. Definitely messed up the frame bad and I dotn have the money to fix it so I had to just give it up.
@@josephracicot4443 yeah I love the probe so much too, I was able to hit 125pmh on mine but it did need a lot of work. Had to replace the water pump, power steering pump and a/c pump literally brand new in the car right now
I had a 1989 V6 automatic for a short time. It had a digital dash. It was given to me to get it out of a ladies back yard. It had sat for a long time. Transmission was slipping 2nd to 3rd. I let it go to a title pawn place when I found out that the title had been pawned. They wanted almost 2 grand and I wasn't going to pay that and fix the transmission.
I have seen those people at the truck stops both on the diesel side and the gas side. I don't know how people do it. I repo'd a truck for a carrier that was dumped and I put on a Tyvek suit to drive it back.
Hey man, know you’re not the biggest fan of Honda, but that Fit that’s behind the i3 would be a great car for Nick providing it’s not crashed. Fun to drive, great fuel economy and quite safe. I’ve had one since I was 16 and haven’t had any issues with it what so ever and I get 43 mpg on the highway.
Probe brings so many great memories. I had a 1999 4 cylinder automatic and a month later trade it in for Dark Red 1993 V6 stick shift fully loaded Probe GT. Till this day Probe GT is still by far one of my favorite cars I had.
HHR all the way, my friend had one that went to 300K. Drove horrible was falling apart and she had tape over the CEL but the damn thing is still running today! Original engine and transmission 100% agree with the cleanliness. it’s a choice. People just take different paths. Dollar tree sells cleaning stuff for $1 I’d love to see that Black Civic, only seen the back but looked pretty clean
You are absolutely right. It's not about being rich or poor. This shows who you really are as a person. "Cleanliness/ toxic fumes" I always make sure to take sometime out and write "clean me" on dirty vehicles. I feel bad for the poor thing 😔
Hi Randy, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years, your videos have inspired me to become a mechanic. I love working on vehicles. Your videos are great, and make me laugh. Thank you for making videos all the time.
Even years ago Randy - you kept a pretty tidy "ship" - you're absolutely right too - you always can find a way to keep things clean - it's a reflection on how you perceive yourself and the things in your life - you don't need to be a millionaire to have pride in your stuff....
PT Cruiser! The HHR is like driving in a cave. Randy, you should get the ‘90 Regal. It will sell for nothing and will make great content. Everyone wants their first car back, at least untill they get it!
that lexus is a tank.. the lo n hi on the dash is for the height control, has air ride, probably been swapped over to coil springs.. ive seen those with over 500k miles.. have a 08 myself with 108k
Dude, when i was 15 i bought '71 mustangMach I(this was 40years ago) as my 1st car. That was that gateway to me falling in love with the car scene and becoming a car guy! Let the boy have the Fox body!
Congrats to Nick .... one suggestion, get and teach him manual. A couple reasons: he can then drive anything; it will make him a better driver; its likely his friends won't know how so he'd never be pressured to lend his car to his friends; better on gas; cheaper to maintain and one less thing to go wrong.
Hi Randy. Great 👍 video with great variety of "possibilities". Like that little BMW hybrid and that 1990 Ford Probe. Take care and keep up the great work.
Reasonable decision for Nick. He's got to prove he can be respponsible driving a car. Like my father once said to me when I was 16 and looking to get my drivers licence. '''Look son, a car has two big eyes, but they can't see''.
I was stuck living in my car (1989 Mustang LX hatchback) and I still kept my car as clean as I reasonably could. There was only so much being me and my dog but I showered every other day at least, and kept garbage in cans and not in the road or on the side of the road. It has everything to do with effort. It's been well over a year now and I keep my room as tidy as I can I don't get other people.
I bet he will love any car you get him. In 1983 my 1st car was a 4 door 1966 chevy impala. It was the oldest, ugliest car on the high school parking lot. I would drive my sister to school, and she would make drop her off behind the school so no one would see her getting out of it. I rocked that car for 3 years and loved it
My first car was a V8😂😂back in the 70s and 80s we kids had it made most times anyway. But in today’s times safety is a must out here. Keep up the good grades Nick
"You should probably have experience blahblahblah" I learned in a Datsun 210, 5-speed. I taught my sister in an 86 plymouth turismo, another 5-speed. My best friend learned in a Farmont with a 4-speed (ALSO a fox body, and a 302, iirc). Learning a stick gets people more in tune with the health of the car. No traction control teaches you how to control a vehicle without relying on the neat little helpers that can stop working.
my only thought on two cars stinking that bad is what if they both were flood cars, flood waters have all sorts of nastiness in them and when that gets stuck in the carpets / low points in the car and then bake all closed up in these lots can make for horrid smells when you are checking them out
I got my daughter a '92 Ford Probe for her 1st car. It was a 4 cylinder Mazda engine with automatic transmission. I had to drive it a few times and I really liked it. It was driving until she got married and ended up getting something more baby seat friendly.
Not all kids are the same. My first car was a 1974 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland engine, 4 speeds on the floor, Holly 4 barrel carb, Hooker heads... etc. I respected my car and I cherished it and drove it very safely. Nick is a very responsible kid with a good personality who deserves better than a PT Cruiser or Chev HHR. (both are known for transmission & head gasket failures). I would rather give him a Honda Civic, Acura Coupe, Hyundai Veloster, etc. If Nick were my son, I would give him the Fox body Mustang for getting Straight A's~ Good job Nick, and keep it up! Maybe you will get the Fox body Mustang for college.
My daughter has that Mercedes e350 coupe and it’s great. Drives incredible and made in Germany. You could undo the crap and it would be a great car for him. No turbo too.
i would want the pt cruiser. even though its visual a worst looker, that 2.4L srt turbo engine platform for the turbo models makes up for the looks. with an exhaust and a tune they are really fun cars.
My 17 yr old brother has a 78' malibu classic with a tunnel ram and all setup with dual carbs making over 400hp for his first car but now he is tearing it down to put into a lil 87 hardbody truck lol.
4 месяца назад+1
Buy that I3 for sure :) I want to see it fixed on your channel
Randy, I would pick the HHR. I am a GM fan & have owned many Pontiac cars over the years. You were thinking of plastic body cladding that Pontiac was known for in the 80's & 90's. I daily a Yellow 2007 Pontiac G5, & also own a White 2009 Pontiac G8. I really miss those older cars. When was the last time you saw a Oldsmobile Alero? Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥
I grew up with nothing as well rob petter to pay paul and it makes you appreciate what you have i detail vehicles for a living and its damn sick what you see and I definitely know what you mean keep it real and carry on my friend rooting you on from dayton Tennessee
I saw one of those BMW i3' that had a small fuel cell put in the fronk and they ran a fuel to the fuel filler tube for the gas tank. The original gas tank acted like a siphon to the fuel cell. The car had a much better range after that. The new fuel cell was something small, like 9-13 gallons.
hey randy, i always called them the cheesegrader doors, they remind me of a cheesegrader. but i also love them. cars had soul and style back then. also love the probe, the pop up headlights are amazing. im looking for one here in germany to buy, bud sadly they were always rare here even in the 90s. germans didnt like the styling or whatever. my hopes are still up to find one that is not completly rusted through. awesome video as always randy thank you.
I have driven 5 different HHR and put over 1.2 million miles on them. The HHR is far easier to work on. The PT has to have the motor removed to replace the water pump, and that water pump goes bad way too fast. Because of the number of cars that use the same engine and transmission in the HHR, parts are easy to find.
i was homeless two months ago living in my lil golf city and i've always been one to put hygiene above everything and thanks to that i was offered a place to stay for a bit because the lady loved how i smelled lol no joke now i am doing better i have a nice brand new apartment and got a new card few days ago life is finally feeling decent i'm still stuck on oxygen fulltime and in dire need for a double lung transplant but feels good to have a home, one thing i've learned after being homeless is your appearance and clensiness makes a very big difference on how people interact with you if people see that you respect yourself even in low times they are more likely to offer a hand
I had a Subaru GL wagon once that I had to drive through a dump truck full of paper plant waste spilled out. It didn't smell at all and I didn't think to wash it right away. It started making the inside of the car smell horrific when the temp out got to the mid 90's or higher. No washing the under side of the car would cure it, only the temp outside cooling off did anything. It was in Central WI though, so the temp hasn't that bad very often. The transmission was already going bad and someone bought it for parts.
That HHR and your reaction reminds me of that Impala that literally made you sick from whatever was in the trunk. I don’t know if you remember that or not
A 2011-2014 Honda fit is a second GEN that doesn’t have the horrid CVT trans! The 1st gen and 3rd gen has the CVT in USA market! But 2nd gen is a reg 5 gears transmission auto or manual! U get 40mpg and it’s a 12 gal tank! So cheap to fill and gets 400-450 miles per tank! And very handy u can fold back seats down and load so many things like mini van! And the butt part of rear seat folds upwards so u can hold things parallel And the 1.5l non turbo doesn’t have the oil consumption that the other engines have and turbos have! I loved mine and u can get them cheap! Less than 5k miles with 100k miles or less!
One of my classmates got an HHR in 12th grade. Looked cool at the time, but he complained that the A-pillars were super thick, so they created quite the blind spot
Hey Randy, I just watched your Copart walk around that she posted this morning. I liked all the cars that you looked at today which I have always liked all the cars. Did you look it doesn’t matter what video that you have out I will always like your content because even though we haven’t met I feel like I’m a part of you when I watch your videos better now I can’t wait to see your next video. Talk to you later bye
pick the HHR over a PT Cruiser - doesn't the front passenger seat fold down? you could get a small air mattress in there and have a fun time on a summer night ;-) Just trying to help you out Nick - you'll get a car with little or no back seat now....
You should try looking at 97-03 f150 I remember the red one and the Harley Davidsons you had years ago, that’s when I started watching your channel ⚡️⚡️
Those hhrs have a problem with the butyl patch rotting and it lets water in thru the blower motor it’s kinda hard to tell unless you feel the passenger side carpet I know because I own one put almost 30k on it in the past 2 years and haven’t done anything but rebuild the front end suspension rack and all when I bought it and nothing since but a starter and normal maintenance
Hey randy, long time viewer, comment rarely but! In terms of a first car for nick, if you ever found one, maybe an 80's Chevrolet chevette? They only made maybe 90 hp still rear wheel drive no antisocial brakes but they weren't the fastest cars out there, good fuel economy too (similar to the Chevrolet Citron that you had on the channel) but maybe something to consider if ever found :)
You use to have one of those so you’d know them well. Foood cars are so interesting especially electric cars, the batteries could be fried. Keep up the heat work randy, love when you walk through! Hope Nick gets a nice car!
I agree with you 100%, you spend money on a car and you don't take care of it. Especially when you have a loan on it and you treat it like a garbage can.
just wondering would they let you fly a drone over the lot to pick out what you want to look at and save you from the rear end and other hidden external surprises?
My 04 pt cruiser gt turbo was fully loaded I loved the car but the electrical issues were the killer of that car. The reason I got it was one it was free and two my friend had an hhr and I loved hers she had a ss in red
Hey u can find a 4 cyl 2 dr rear wheel drive fox body coupe mustang! I had a 1995 box body 4 spd auto 2.4l non turbo It was a heavy car since most of it was metal except for the fiberglass front fenders! But it was a nice reliable car for couple years even not bad in snow and I’m in Hilly CT Snow can get up to a foot or two in 1 storm! But the pos traction kept the rear end straight going up hills! Now down hill was tricky Had to be in lowest gear and not lock up brakes But the weight of car would speed up the car If u didn’t ride the brakes lol.
Hybrid Cadillac would have been a great first car, Randy is funny enough alone but with Monkey wranch Mike the humour between the two complement each other ✌🏽
Randy, when I was Nicks age, I would have taken anything. However, I'm 30 now, and kind of want what I want within reason. No, no one is getting me a 911 or a Gallardo, of course, but I do want exactly what I want now that I'm older. I always got A's and B's in school, I did pretty well for just barely being diagnosed with Aspergers in high school, again, when I was Nicks age. I'd pick the HHR over the PT Cruiser. The HHR I thought was a better built vehicle than the PT Cruiser was. I thought the PT Cruisers were junk in contrast to the HHR. More issues with the PT Cruisers than the HHRs mechanical wise. I don't know if I'm biased towards the HHR or what, But I like them more than the PT Cruiser for sure. We have a 2016 Elantra, a base SE, and we love it. Also check out a 2000-2007 Ford Focus, great cheap cars, and you don't have to worry is something happens to it.
I’m the owner of that 1990 ford probe 🙋🏽 my dad found it and got it for me as my first car still in hight school and unfortunately I got rear ended by a charger at a red light
I love that car and I’m so sorry it ended the way it did. Always those dang MOPARs isn’t it?
I had 93 Ford Probe manual 4 banger... great car. I love it. so hard to find them without like 250k miles, lol was also my first car.

I died at Randy's comment:" How do you not know you're driving the ass of an elephant down the f**king highway!" 💀💀💀💀🤣
I was waiting for this I died as well😂😂😂😂😂
Yep. He never curses, but sometimes it just calls for it 🤣
Oh, that was F’ing brilliant!!!
I have seen those people at the truck stops both on the diesel side and the gas side. I don't know how people do it. I repo'd a truck for a carrier that was dumped and I put on a Tyvek suit to drive it back.
Congrats Nick on the straight A's!
GO NICK !!! Straight A's🎉
Awesome
Nick is a good kid looking forward to seeing his expression when he gets his first car
It took me a second about the Mazda 6… I just picked myself up from the floor laughing! Dude, you need to go on stage!!!
Bad mood Randy,,, 🤣Funniest video u ever uploaded.. I swear you had a few brewski's for this one 😛
Hey man, know you’re not the biggest fan of Honda, but that Fit that’s behind the i3 would be a great car for Nick providing it’s not crashed. Fun to drive, great fuel economy and quite safe. I’ve had one since I was 16 and haven’t had any issues with it what so ever and I get 43 mpg on the highway.
and they come in manual. fits are awesome
Mine has 670k km and still in the first engine and original transmission (manual)
Probe brings so many great memories. I had a 1999 4 cylinder automatic and a month later trade it in for Dark Red 1993 V6 stick shift fully loaded Probe GT. Till this day Probe GT is still by far one of my favorite cars I had.
HHR all the way, my friend had one that went to 300K. Drove horrible was falling apart and she had tape over the CEL but the damn thing is still running today! Original engine and transmission
100% agree with the cleanliness. it’s a choice. People just take different paths.

Unless you are mentally ill. Believe me, I know.
Congrats to Nick on straight A's.
😂😂😂 do you not remember your last experience with that BMW i three you loved it every last little bit of it😂😂
They say, anything you smell the particles have to hit your taste buds in order to decipher what it is, Randy... 😆 🤣 😂
PT Cruiser! The HHR is like driving in a cave. Randy, you should get the ‘90 Regal. It will sell for nothing and will make great content. Everyone wants their first car back, at least untill they get it!
that lexus is a tank.. the lo n hi on the dash is for the height control, has air ride, probably been swapped over to coil springs.. ive seen those with over 500k miles.. have a 08 myself with 108k
Nice walk around randy that Ford probe brought back some memories of when they first came out with the probe I wanted one of them back then
I had a Probe ... best highway cruiser I've ever had.
@@danm2144 its the cheap version of the Toyota Supra 2 😂😂😂

I drove the Fully Electric BMW i3. Great car. Only traded in for a Ford lightning because of range. I also had the HHR and used with Uber and Lyft.
Great Job Nick! Hopefully Randy will find you something super cool. My first car was a 1990 Mercury Sable wagon LOL
It’s like the fabreeze commercial “You’ve gone nose blind “.

I’ll pick the Chevy HHR. My big sister had a 2006 Chevy HHR LT and they ride great and it saves on gas to. Congratulations nick on straight A
Hi Randy.
Great 👍 video with great variety of "possibilities".
Like that little BMW hybrid and that 1990 Ford Probe.
Take care and keep up the great work.
I owned an HHR and would buy another one in a heartbeat. It got 30-32 mpg religiously, it was really comfortable and looked good too
Reasonable decision for Nick. He's got to prove he can be respponsible driving a car. Like my father once said to me when I was 16 and looking to get my drivers licence. '''Look son, a car has two big eyes, but they can't see''.

What a great speech Randy…you were correct on so many levels! BTW…the last A6 I drive had a 4 cylinder but it had 263HP!! 😮

The 1st gen and 3rd gen has the CVT in USA market!
But 2nd gen is a reg 5 gears transmission auto or manual! U get 40mpg and it’s a 12 gal tank!
So cheap to fill and gets 400-450 miles per tank!

I was aiming much higher than a Fox body I wanted a first Generation Viper 😂 death wish 🎉
That BMW is too complex
pick the HHR over a PT Cruiser - doesn't the front passenger seat fold down? you could get a small air mattress in there and have a fun time on a summer night ;-) Just trying to help you out Nick - you'll get a car with little or no back seat now....
Definitely a pt cruiser for nick get him the pt gt you won’t regret it
Would love to have a pt cruiser actually. But that hhr hell nahh
You should try looking at 97-03 f150
I remember the red one and the Harley Davidsons you had years ago, that’s when I started watching your channel ⚡️⚡️
Those hhrs have a problem with the butyl patch rotting and it lets water in thru the blower motor it’s kinda hard to tell unless you feel the passenger side carpet I know because I own one put almost 30k on it in the past 2 years and haven’t done anything but rebuild the front end suspension rack and all when I bought it and nothing since but a starter and normal maintenance
Gotta say I’d rather have an HHR than a Part Time Cruiser aka pt cruiser but I’d probably prefer a bike over both lol 13:01
Hey randy, long time viewer, comment rarely but! In terms of a first car for nick, if you ever found one, maybe an 80's Chevrolet chevette? They only made maybe 90 hp still rear wheel drive no antisocial brakes but they weren't the fastest cars out there, good fuel economy too (similar to the Chevrolet Citron that you had on the channel) but maybe something to consider if ever found :)
Randy, have you thought about a 2006 to 2010 chevrolet silverado 1500 ext cab pick up truck , would be safer on the road . just a thought
HHR for the Win!!!! I always wanted one but never got to buy one… I did have a 2002 Cavalier and a 2005 Cobalt!!
You use to have one of those so you’d know them well. Foood cars are so interesting especially electric cars, the batteries could be fried. Keep up the heat work randy, love when you walk through! Hope Nick gets a nice car!
The HHR looks like someone had a backside blowout in that driver's seat 💺 😳 😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with you 100%, you spend money on a car and you don't take care of it. Especially when you have a loan on it and you treat it like a garbage can.
My first car was a '70 Chevelle SS. I'd choose the HHR over the PT Cruiser all day.
9:09 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the video again Randy
just wondering would they let you fly a drone over the lot to pick out what you want to look at and save you from the rear end and other hidden external surprises?
Love watching your videos I'm also in Oklahoma your so awesome
ACTUALLY I don’t have the capability of picking up a vacuum because I don’t have arms and legs sooooo 😂❤
My 04 pt cruiser gt turbo was fully loaded I loved the car but the electrical issues were the killer of that car. The reason I got it was one it was free and two my friend had an hhr and I loved hers she had a ss in red
Hey u can find a 4 cyl 2 dr rear wheel drive fox body coupe mustang!
I had a 1995 box body 4 spd auto 2.4l non turbo
It was a heavy car since most of it was metal except for the fiberglass front fenders!
But it was a nice reliable car for couple years even not bad in snow and I’m in Hilly CT
Snow can get up to a foot or two in 1 storm!
But the pos traction kept the rear end straight going up hills!
Now down hill was tricky
Had to be in lowest gear and not lock up brakes
But the weight of car would speed up the car
If u didn’t ride the brakes lol.
Randy, have you ever heard back about the dealers auto auction outfit recently. About if you can go back there
Hybrid Cadillac would have been a great first car, Randy is funny enough alone but with Monkey wranch Mike the humour between the two complement each other ✌🏽
18:52 I see you have the noco battery jumper. If you use the thing it must be good. I've been looking for one for myself.
Randy, when I was Nicks age, I would have taken anything.
However, I'm 30 now, and kind of want what I want within reason.
No, no one is getting me a 911 or a Gallardo, of course, but I do want exactly what I want now that I'm older.
I always got A's and B's in school, I did pretty well for just barely being diagnosed with Aspergers in high school, again, when I was Nicks age.
I'd pick the HHR over the PT Cruiser.
The HHR I thought was a better built vehicle than the PT Cruiser was.
I thought the PT Cruisers were junk in contrast to the HHR.
More issues with the PT Cruisers than the HHRs mechanical wise.
I don't know if I'm biased towards the HHR or what, But I like them more than the PT Cruiser for sure.
We have a 2016 Elantra, a base SE, and we love it.
Also check out a 2000-2007 Ford Focus, great cheap cars, and you don't have to worry is something happens to it.
9:02 I just can't with you man 🤣🤣
