    Imma be honest with you Mike, you vs Randy I watch you more because you are into normal people cars and older stuff most of us know and can afford, Randy just buys expensive electric cars and new stuff you see everywhere on the road, nothing special. And you Mike have a really cool attitude and are very lively. Sitting here watching you on my lunch break in my 1990 Lexus LS400 😁.

    I also found you because of the Lexus. I am an old man (78) and I wanted an LS 430 Lexus for over three years and I finally found one in decent shape within 50 miles of me and I went and looked at it and bought it. I had to pay a lot more for mine than you did ($11,700.00) out the door price but, I did not have to do any body work but under body needed some work that totaled to just over $5,600.00. I now own a $16,000.00 2006 Lexus LS430 and I love it. I was looking at buying a 2002 Kia Telluride but when I found out they would not come with a CD changer or even just a CD player from the factory I decided I would not be interested in the KIA Telluride afterall. This Lexus may have some years and miles on it (164,610 today) but, it is the best car I have ever owned.

  • @steveosgood9182
    @steveosgood9182 2 месяца назад +1

    People watch Lexus videos like this because they are such quality cars that last a long time. Some models have a cult following. You may not have drivetrain problems to fix, but there will be other things to attend to. You and Randy looked at a high mileage Lexus GX about a year ago, and Randy said nothing goes wrong with them so video views would be low. But as you can see, you can get video views. Would I get an old Mercedes ?, probably not for most models, or how about an old BMW, probably not again. An old Lexus? Heck yeah I would.

  • @garyashdown5376
    @garyashdown5376 2 месяца назад +2

    Hi Mike, as they say , variety is the spice of life 😊 , now have you ever thought of heating the dent. Probably the best way is boiling water, pour over the panel getting it hot, while it's still hot use the football and inflate. By being hot the metal gets all excited and it's memory comes into play, so when you inflate the ball the metal becomes more eager to spring back into shape. Keep up the good work chuckles.

    Should have tapped down those high spots with a light weight rubber hammer while the football was inflated. Or lightweight hammer with soft rag around it. That would have set the rest of the dent in place
