Thank you for talking about your loss. I lost my wife and soulmate of 40 years to cancer 4 years ago. It takes a long time for the grief not to hurt as bad, and getting therapy is a good thing to help with these issues.
I want to applaud you for being real about the grief you've experienced and the help you got. Too often, especially with people who always seem to show a happy-go-lucky face to the world, suffering in silence so they can keep up the facade is all people think they can do even though they're in a dark place. Good on you for helping break down a stigma.
Except it was advert for his sponsor, I agree with you. But I think better help sponsors are fucked up cos people are profiting from other peoples medical struggles. Maybe in America thats no big deal, but where I am, it feels wrong
@@Emira_75 See what you mean there. So I do alot of freelance work including therapists.. you would not believe what kinda money crosses hands here. Absolutely beyond belief, like 200-400 euros for a room full of incense and dark clouds above your head fortune telling. Clients are anything from lawyers to primary school teachers.
@@Emira_75 It might feel morally superior to hang a shingle as a therapist and then never make an effort to publicize the fact and hope patients come your way but in practice, if they run their practice or a business connecting patients with practices in the real world, they need to make people aware. And he used their services so it's a user testimonial he got paid for. Everyone wins.
@@Emira_75 This sponsor enables people to receive therapy that might not otherwise have access. Rather than seeing this as the commercializing of Tyler's very personal experience, perhaps you might consider that his advocacy and this therapeutic platform may help others who might not know where to turn to process their grief.
No Hoovie, there is NO stigma for asking for help/therapy! Good for you to talk about it and even better with a sponsor! Sadly "closure" never comes when you lose a loved one. That big hole will remain unfilled. But you get to keep all the cool memories every time you look at that 85 Mercedes and drive it. She'd want you to keep on doing what you love...and you are...so do that. 1.44 million people want you to keep on doing it too. On that SLK32 AMG....the Car Wizard just got it running and you give it the Hoovie test. LOL This is why you can't borrow any of my rides. Haha.
I have a 2003 slk32 amg. She is well sorted out,all stock (except radio lol). I named her "Taschi" (short for the German words Taschen Rakete). She is my pocket rocket......a fun car 150K km !!! I think they will be going up in value more and more very soon.There were only 4,333 slk32 amg ever built... a rather rare car and drives and handles very nice. Tons of power 349HP stock,the twin hex supercharger makes her fly !
Same, silver with black and silver interior. It's an awesome little roadster, love this car, so does my wife. I just have too many, thinking about selling it. Originally from Tempe AZ, last three years in Sandpoint Idaho, heated garage kept. 100% stock though, untouched, even the stereo and cd changer. I did put a new headliner in it though, the only thing done to the car. Original owner is a friend, a doctor from Tempe AZ. He babied the car and so have I, these cars are terrific!!!
Tyler’s attitude towards car catastrophe always entertains! Never a dull moment. Buys a vintage jag that Keith Richards was probably born in and does big burnouts in it😂 I hope the wizard is also in your will. He should also be called magic genie wizard because he is always available and ready to go. I’d say he has a few favours in the vault waiting to be cashed in. Another great video Tyler. Your channel is one of the few that I get notifications about. Like Steve Tyler said: “I don’t want to miss a thing”
does burnouts in a vintage jag that was down 4 quarts of oil. He probably did more wear and damage to that engine in the days he owned it than the previous owner did in 10 years.
Hey Tyler, losing a loved one is very hard and I know your SL reminds you a lot about your grandmother; when you can take that car out for a spin. If you try and remember all the good memories you shared, this will pass and you'll be fine. I lost my dad in January of this year and he left me his prized possession, a 1994 Dodge B350 van with the 5.9L in it that he loved so much. I enjoy driving it and it will be my honor restoring it back to its former glory as the roof is rusting out and lots of parts that need to get replaced as well. Hopefully you're able to enjoy your car once again and we both shall remember our loved ones in the best memories. Always looking forward to seeing your clips
I have had a 2001 SLK 230 Kompressor (R170) and currently owning much newer SLK V6. I still think the little r170 series is more joy over my current R171! Love it!
These things are so good!!! upper and lower pulleys, exhaust, intake, injectors, ported blower and send the ECU to Renntech in Florida to be tuned. Not sure if there is a valve body upgrade for the trans and a tune. This would get the car up to like 475 to the crank. You'd stomp Scatpacks being 1,200+lbs lighter. Super sleeper. Would probably beat a stock E63 (1st gen) too.
Losing someone so close is so hard when you don’t have a chance to grieve properly. I went through hell losing my grandpa. Im glad you are seeking the peace you deserve my friend, I hope it lifts some weight off your shoulders 😇
Tyler, I lost my grandmother about a month before the shutdowns started. I couldn’t imagine not having a funeral. I appreciate your honesty about your issues.
I lost my dad, in 2020, he was in the hospital and we were not allowed to see him, so he died alone. We couldn't have a funeral and his cremation was delayed by 3 months because of everything being locked down.
@@volvo09 Same happened to me. Lost both my parents within 3 months in 2020. Wasn't able to visit in person with either one of them. During that time I couldn't help but wonder if the people who put the mandates in effect would be denied visiting a dying loved one. I have a feeling they would have been able to visit them.
@@12yearssober sorry man, that just enrages me... Hope you have been able to cope with it. Seeing that the folks pushing mandates and lockdowns were the first to be seen partying and eating out, I guarantee they would have been able to see their loved ones. It's inhumane and disgusts me.
Forget the cars on this video. Tyler, I want to say thank you for opening up to your audience about your grief - and most importantly your efforts to get past it. Far, far too many people battle personal demons of all kinds in the silence of their own minds. (I do as well from time to time) Getting the courage to seek help for yourself is a big step, and reaching out to others to encourage them to do the same is even tougher. So kudos to you for promoting a very worthy message, and I wish you all the best success in your own journey. Be well, Tyler.
Thank you for talking about this. I know that as a Gen Xer we were taught just suck it up and get through it. That you were less of a person for talking about things.
I'm sorry for your loss, it looks like you were very close. It's hard to process and get over the loss of loved ones to whom we are so close. I lost my Dad in early 2016 and I still miss being able to speak with him. Like your grandmother he was a big presence in the lives he touched. May her memory be a blessing for you and your family, may she rest in peace.
Thank you for opening up about your mental health and seeing a therapist. It has been a long two years for a lot of people and there is no shame in getting help for your mental health!
Why did the mechanic go over a list of repairs mostly not needed to actually drive the car but completely doesn't mention the huge exhaust leak that will probably kill you when the top is up and is the only priority repair?
Thanks for being honest with the therapy. I didn’t see it as an ad saw it as someone who honestly got help with the app. Nice honest review/ showcase of Better Help.
Betterhelp has kind of a reputation, though. They can't guarantee that the person you're speaking to is actually a licensed therapist and it's happened more than just a few times that users weren't talking to someone who was licensed, and found out later.
I have a Therapist and he is the most awesome person to me! Get yourself some good help if you need it. It's 100% worth it. And Tyler, the clip of you and your Grandmother absolutely warmed my heart. You and I are in the same boat my guy. Peace, Love & All the Good Things
We have the SLK230 and it’s so fun to drive for how small it is! Make sure to keep an eye on that plastic interior, it likes to fall apart when you just look at it!
I had one of these and it was excellent, never had any issues and went through its MOT every year with nothing to do. I only sold it as I now have a 2yr old and need a 4 seater convertible
Would you ever think of doing point of view videos where you take one of your cars out occasionally and talk about the history of the car you’re driving? Basically it’d be a way for subscribers of your RUclips channel like me to be able to see the cars that we like that you own more often.
Reaching out for help can be really hard, I lost my younger brother at the end of 2020 in a car crash and I wouldn’t be anywhere near as together as I am today (with a long road still ahead) if I hadn’t reached out to a grief counsellor. I can’t thank him enough for the help he has given me, not just with my brother but other things in life including helping with unresolved issues from the last nearly 30 years. Glad to see the SLK going as well, I adored my CLK55 AMG back in the day, can’t be an AMG.
I also lost my grandmother recently, though I've written her off as "living" because she was lost to dementia. Still, the sadness and impact she had on me are there. She nurtured my appreciation for puzzles, which I've been trying to do with my niece.
I am sorry for your loss Hoovie- losing a loved one is very difficult. I think of my grandmother everyday. I use cars as a way to help ease some of that grief as strange as that sounds.
The parts thing in the VW-AG is the best thing ever. I can fix my Audi with cheaper sensors from Skoda and VW, and also fixing my S7 with a few parts from the A4/A5 and some parts from other VW cars.
Still low volume in your videos. Always low volume. Tyler, it doesn't cost anything to raise the volume level of a video before posting it. It's completely free
Leaking oil is a feature on old British cars. It forces you to top it up constantly, which means it's always fresh and that means you need to service the car less.
No one needs to face things that life throws at us alone. Mental Health is just as important and seeing a primary doctor. Just because a person has Mental Health problems doesn't mean that you are broken or worthless or any other negative label. You are worth the time and effort and the energy !!!!
there's a recall on the brake lights on the SLK. The brake light socket would get hot and warp and then wouldn't make contact. I would assume thats why they were taken.
They put that motor in the SRT6 too and underrated it saying it only had 330 horsepower. Plus the crossfire version has better cooling. motor is also in the c32 AMG
SLK's suspension is extremely robust, nothing flatter and falls apart, drove it for 2 years as daily, and what I love especially it's steering box with damper
2002 WRX. At about 105,XXX miles was messing with a Charger RT on the freeway then BOOM! Sounded like a shot gun went off in the back seat. My rear diff grenaded so violently it blew the broken teeth out the side of the case.
park the jag with the rear wheels on oil change ramps its the only way to keep the oil in the engine. my neighbor had an old jag and thats how he had to park it. they used rope as a rear main seal
Hey Tyler, I know this was years ago but I'm sorry for your loss. And you are doing a great job with the videos and they are very entertaining! Keep up the great work👍👍
I wanted to let you know that there was a factory recall on SLK tail lights due to the sockets overheating and melting the plastic. You should be able to contact Mercedes through your local dealer to identify the vehicle by VIN and see if it is eligible for a free replacement set.
SLK32; Replace the Relay Control Module (RCM) and Crank Position Sensor just because it sat to prevent no start/no run issues. Parts under $200 (FCPEURO).
I always wanted Hoovie to buy an old SLK so I could live through him vicariously and not have to worry about fixing it. But I should have realized that when he did it would make me want to buy one. Maybe I’ll just wait until he’s done fixing his and offer to buy it…
I have a 2003 SLK32 AMG, silver with black and silver interior. I was thinking about selling it. The car is from Tempe AZ, I am friends with the original owner. I am the second owner, the car is outstanding! I just have too many cars/trucks. The car has been garage kept in Sandpoint Idaho for the last three years, the lowest temp in our garage is 55 degrees regardless of outside temps being below zero. It's a warm weather runaround for us and rarely gets used. Fast? OMG this car is fast! My wife and I are the only ones to drive it, I won't let my kids use this car at all because of the speeds it can generate in seconds. If I don't let them use it, they can't screw it up or end up killing themselves or others. Definitely NOT a car for young people that think they are invincible! If you think you may be interested or anyone else in the area,,, just send me a response here. No big deal one way or the other, I don't need money, I don't need the car either. Just something to think about, maybe you or someone else would be interested,,,,, who knows... Fun to drive? You bet!
I want to think that my ‘18 GTI benefits from VW having been involved with the supercar development. Cheaper parts for your Lambo and my econobox is surprisingly well refined
I completely understand, as I have one myself a 97 XJ6L same color to with the prince of darkness, electrical system known as Lucas wiring and also owing a Jaguar is like having an unfaithful bombshell girlfriend you know she will hurt you, but you endure it for the good times
RV Bus?? I love it. (I need to watch more wizard stuff... and thank you to the er, ...Hoovster (fall weather, convertibles, seemed a fitting liberty to take... at least before I typed this) for being a class act and showing love to other awesome channels too). Yours sir is my personal favorite automotive related channel.
Hoovie with what you say at the end about people calling it not a real lamborghini isnt because of the volkswaggen group ownership, its the design, and part of the use of materials, as around this time when that car was new I looked at a special edition turbo beetle, an orange turbo S, which saabkyle actually has a video on its using the same seat material as that, and Leonardo Fiorvante didnt add any color accent details to the car, as one of the tricks Marcello Ghandini used on the countach was actually black lining strips around the flare to break up the body and to give it some definition when the VW group took over it was like someone took all those specalist details and introduced a blow torch to it, like the closest I've seen the VW group come back to that was with the 50th Aniversary version of the Aventador with solid colors and a two tone paintjob that finally made it look italian. and the latter versions of this car do reintroduce some of that italian flare to it, which could be put on with a body piece or two or some choice color accenting but its just that its like the passion was gone in the styling and the design, like what is the most noted thing about italy and rome its lineage, its design, and art, the germans were just too static about it, and what made it worse was the V10 models which really drove forth this point take any audi R8 of this period and put it against a gallardo, blind fold someone and then show them the interior, and ask them, which one is the lamborghini, and which one is the audi and I guarantee you every single person will say the audi is the lamborghini.

My dad had one of those slk’s in silver, and was such a fun little car to drive. Was like an obnoxiously fast go-kart 😂 sadly when he got rid of it to hop in something new, i didn’t have the money to buy it off of him. Would have loved to own that thing. Not really a car I would go out looking for, but if you want a fun weekend hard top convertible, and come across one for a ridiculously good price, 101% buy it.
Nothing wrong with getting some help about fixing mental health. Sometimes going to friends and relatives to talk about stuff isn’t the way to go. It’s hard to say certain things bc you may get thought of differently. I found this out when going through my divorce. God forbid if you talked to the other side’s family or friends about an issue & you don’t want to bother your own families also. We went and tried counseling and after she said she was done bc she couldn’t take what I had to say I stayed in the counseling bc I had a lot of stuff I had to get off my mind. It helped to make me feel like I was normal again and didn’t have to clam up to talk to someone bc I thought it was just going to get into an argument. But sorry for your loss. The pandemic didn’t help anyone deal with grieving for anyone who passed.
After a fair few years of watching Hoovie, it amazes me we have never seen an A3/RS3 A class. Maybe even an old Costa but that may be slightly too much UK
Hoovie be sure to get the right replacement Bosch intercooler pump and check on the supercharger oil, didn't hear the supercharger whine so I'm wondering if it's in limited mode. Car still moves quickly in that mode but it heat soaks quickly.
I had the 5V fuse on my SLK32 compressor keep blowing, and seriously reducing the power. It took a while, but I found out that Mercedes recommend a 7.5V replacement! It worked fine after that.

He's not doing burnouts, he's running down the flat spots
I thought he was going to tell them he just needs front tyres as he’s sorted the rear flat spots 😂
That rv conversion is pure genius.
No one needs to face things that life throws at us alone.
Mental Health is just as important and seeing a primary doctor.
Just because a person has Mental Health problems doesn't mean that you are broken or worthless or any other negative label.
You are worth the time and effort and the energy !!!!
there's a recall on the brake lights on the SLK. The brake light socket would get hot and warp and then wouldn't make contact. I would assume thats why they were taken.
They put that motor in the SRT6 too and underrated it saying it only had 330 horsepower. Plus the crossfire version has better cooling. motor is also in the c32 AMG
SLK's suspension is extremely robust, nothing flatter and falls apart, drove it for 2 years as daily, and what I love especially it's steering box with damper
Do you have an automatic garage door opener for the wizards shop?
The bot gave you the bird lol
2002 WRX. At about 105,XXX miles was messing with a Charger RT on the freeway then BOOM! Sounded like a shot gun went off in the back seat. My rear diff grenaded so violently it blew the broken teeth out the side of the case.
We love our r170, ez car to fix, park, drive, and can be made a hard-top coupe or a convertible in less than 30 seconds, and no storing a hardtop.
Thats the burnout we been waiting for :D Every new car should be put down like that
Wizard is imitating Tyler and buying his own hoopties! Grasshopper! Snatch this pebble from my hand!
park the jag with the rear wheels on oil change ramps its the only way to keep the oil in the engine. my neighbor had an old jag and thats how he had to park it. they used rope as a rear main seal
Also he needs to change the diaper. How come Hoovie didn't change the diaper? He's got two kids I think? No excuse for not knowing!
Sorry to hear about your grandma. Talk to who you need to my man!
That AMG I would buy for a hooptie as it is.
Dude that open of this video was excellent! The he slide😂😂😂
I briefly had a AMG C32 with the same engine and yes, it definitely roasted tires for days. Granted so does the w209 CLK500 I replaced it with.
On the Jag, before changing the rope seal check that the PCV isnt blocked!!
another great video from Hoovie, thanks
Your best promotion yet, still struggling with some trauma from 1998and I think it’s past due for me to get some help
Hey Tyler, I know this was years ago but I'm sorry for your loss. And you are doing a great job with the videos and they are very entertaining! Keep up the great work👍👍
I wanted to let you know that there was a factory recall on SLK tail lights due to the sockets overheating and melting the plastic. You should be able to contact Mercedes through your local dealer to identify the vehicle by VIN and see if it is eligible for a free replacement set.
props to hoovie for not promoting gambling instead
SLK32; Replace the Relay Control Module (RCM) and Crank Position Sensor just because it sat to prevent no start/no run issues. Parts under $200 (FCPEURO).
I just had a brake light switch strand me. 2000 Silverado. It failed to actuate the ignition/shifter interlock solenoid. $20 fix.
That jag is beautiful! And I like the wizards xlr!
"Never let the Meth Come Down... I'm gonna let shine, gonna let shine.... Come on and shine..."
Good Old Collective Soul,.............
Back to hoopty roots with that Merc...love it man
The start of the video gave me Good Eats with Alton Brown vibes. Throwback!
It’s also getting to b really good weather for boost! My car is loving the cold night weather
I always wanted Hoovie to buy an old SLK so I could live through him vicariously and not have to worry about fixing it. But I should have realized that when he did it would make me want to buy one. Maybe I’ll just wait until he’s done fixing his and offer to buy it…
I have a 2003 SLK32 AMG, silver with black and silver interior.
I was thinking about selling it.
The car is from Tempe AZ, I am friends with the original owner.
I am the second owner, the car is outstanding! I just have too many cars/trucks.
The car has been garage kept in Sandpoint Idaho for the last three years, the lowest temp in our garage is 55 degrees regardless of outside temps being below zero. It's a warm weather runaround for us and rarely gets used.
Fast? OMG this car is fast! My wife and I are the only ones to drive it, I won't let my kids use this car at all because of the speeds it can generate in seconds. If I don't let them use it, they can't screw it up or end up killing themselves or others.
Definitely NOT a car for young people that think they are invincible!
If you think you may be interested or anyone else in the area,,, just send me a response here.
No big deal one way or the other, I don't need money, I don't need the car either.
Just something to think about, maybe you or someone else would be interested,,,,, who knows...
Fun to drive? You bet!
If you think that SLK32 hauls, then you should try the SLK 55 version.
Will need another diff..lol✌️
I lost my grandmother 22 years ago.the only grandparent I got to meet..I miss her everyday.
I want to think that my ‘18 GTI benefits from VW having been involved with the supercar development. Cheaper parts for your Lambo and my econobox is surprisingly well refined
I completely understand, as I have one myself a 97 XJ6L same color to with the prince of darkness, electrical system known as Lucas wiring and
also owing a Jaguar is like having an unfaithful bombshell girlfriend you know she will hurt you, but you endure it for the good times
Two cars, two wins! I like it when things go well for Tyler !
Y'know I had a feeling the Wizard was totally into Bus stuff. Will he finish before Robert Dunn? Well... yeah, probably, He's got a big honkin' bus.
Hoovie did the impossible,
He took a lambo home from the mechanic with no bill!
Funny, Tyler really looked like Dan Ackroyd in "Grosse Point Blank" when doing the AMG burnout.....
RV Bus?? I love it. (I need to watch more wizard stuff... and thank you to the er, ...Hoovster (fall weather, convertibles, seemed a fitting liberty to take... at least before I typed this) for being a class act and showing love to other awesome channels too). Yours sir is my personal favorite automotive related channel.
Absolutely love the Crossfire SRT with the same engine!
Hoovie with what you say at the end about people calling it not a real lamborghini isnt because of the volkswaggen group ownership, its the design, and part of the use of materials, as around this time when that car was new I looked at a special edition turbo beetle, an orange turbo S, which saabkyle actually has a video on
its using the same seat material as that, and Leonardo Fiorvante didnt add any color accent details to the car, as one of the tricks Marcello Ghandini used on the countach was actually black lining strips around the flare to break up the body and to give it some definition
when the VW group took over it was like someone took all those specalist details and introduced a blow torch to it, like the closest I've seen the VW group come back to that was with the 50th Aniversary version of the Aventador with solid colors and a two tone paintjob that finally made it look italian.
and the latter versions of this car do reintroduce some of that italian flare to it, which could be put on with a body piece or two or some choice color accenting
but its just that its like the passion was gone in the styling and the design, like what is the most noted thing about italy and rome
its lineage, its design, and art, the germans were just too static about it, and what made it worse was the V10 models which really drove forth this point
take any audi R8 of this period and put it against a gallardo, blind fold someone and then show them the interior, and ask them, which one is the lamborghini, and which one is the audi
and I guarantee you every single person will say the audi is the lamborghini.
3:08 to skip the ad. Thanks
get sponsor block extension, it skips it automatically
This is for people that do not have enough money for the service suggested.
@@victorbaird8220 its free, its a chrome extension or firefox plugin. Much needed. I also recommend ublock origin as an ad blocker. Makes the internet enjoyable again.
My dad had one of those slk’s in silver, and was such a fun little car to drive. Was like an obnoxiously fast go-kart 😂 sadly when he got rid of it to hop in something new, i didn’t have the money to buy it off of him. Would have loved to own that thing. Not really a car I would go out looking for, but if you want a fun weekend hard top convertible, and come across one for a ridiculously good price, 101% buy it.
Nothing wrong with getting some help about fixing mental health. Sometimes going to friends and relatives to talk about stuff isn’t the way to go. It’s hard to say certain things bc you may get thought of differently. I found this out when going through my divorce. God forbid if you talked to the other side’s family or friends about an issue & you don’t want to bother your own families also. We went and tried counseling and after she said she was done bc she couldn’t take what I had to say I stayed in the counseling bc I had a lot of stuff I had to get off my mind. It helped to make me feel like I was normal again and didn’t have to clam up to talk to someone bc I thought it was just going to get into an argument.
But sorry for your loss. The pandemic didn’t help anyone deal with grieving for anyone who passed.
After a fair few years of watching Hoovie, it amazes me we have never seen an A3/RS3 A class. Maybe even an old Costa but that may be slightly too much UK
Hoovie be sure to get the right replacement Bosch intercooler pump and check on the supercharger oil, didn't hear the supercharger whine so I'm wondering if it's in limited mode. Car still moves quickly in that mode but it heat soaks quickly.
I had the 5V fuse on my SLK32 compressor keep blowing, and seriously reducing the power. It took a while, but I found out that Mercedes recommend a 7.5V replacement! It worked fine after that.
Er, how is the burnout done? Looks like the front brakes are on & the rears off? Me no understand- could someone explain please. Thanks
That Jag is awesome!!! … can’t wait to see more video
