How do we do welcome to hoovy's garage the dumbest automotive channel in all of youtube, and today's video is going to be two steps forward and one step back. As you can see, my lamborghini countage is back in the garage after some fixes at the car wizard. The biggest one being a coolant leak, in addition, we'll be picking up the ferrari 458 from the car wizards my salvaged one with 86 000 miles. I just had a bunch of work done to it, so i'm not looking forward to that bill.

It will be expensive, but with those two coming back, one needs to go and well it happens to be a coolant leak. It's like the universe of the hooptie fleet, balancing itself out, because this one is fixed and now my 2001 bentley azure, formerly owned by jean-claude van damme, has sprung a coolant leak. So i'll drive it to the car wizards to pick up the ferrari 458, and i have some exciting stuff planned with the ferrari in today's video, as well as trying to clean up some of the well ugliness to it, make it look less hoopty, but then still Hoopty anyway, let's go well. The trail of goo has dried up a little bit, but you can kind of see it.

I'm also getting a low cooling warning on this car. Unfortunately, but man, i can't be too bad at the azure yeah. I can't be mad for the 25 grand that i paid for this thing, which wouldn't make a very good down payment on any new bentley. It wouldn't even offer even close to the same driving experience as this thing.

Unfortunately, though, with depreciation in age comes a lot more maintenance on these complicated mineral oil system, bentleys and uh. Well, actually, it's not the mineral oil system. That's leaking on this car, it's the coolant! So that's. Why he's heading to the car wizards now, but i mean just look at this thing from the town and country horns can't beat that wizard.

Oh i'm glad to see you. Yes, you've assumed your favorite position there. Yes, the bill collecting position. You were very kind yesterday to let me leave with the countach.

You hadn't made a billion, so i got to leave yeah. I wanted it out of the shop because it's worth so much money now that i don't want it maxing out my insurance. It's a little scary to drive in that sense nowadays, considering how much they've popped up but uh the bill. Wasn't that bad right yeah, it wasn't a big deal.

It was a small bill, so i didn't worry about it. Oh it's 1561.! That's a small bill! Huh! That's a smaller one: okay! Well, there were a few, pretty good repairs there, the slave cylinder that was leaking and then a hose as well, along with the water pump o-ring. So then there was that oxygen sensor that i drove for a year, basically with it dangling out because the uh the threads were stripped. So that's very hoopty of me, 1500 bucks.

I know the ferrari one's way worse right. It is way worse, it's three pages long. So we fixed the coolant leak on the countage it drove home beautifully and now the coolant's leaking on the bentley azure. Last time i drove it.

Low coolant light came on and uh it's it's on the floor, so yeah just trade one for the other. It really never ends, so i'm procrastinating a little bit because the ferrari ones it's three pages long. Okay, all right oil change, engine mounts battery window, switch cabin air filter, valvetronic, exhaust system bulbs, screws serpentine belt, adjust the suspension belly pans, removing installing the exhaust and then a small cut sustained from heat shields for a dollar 37. yeah.

I actually cut my wrist on one of the heat shields, so i made sure to get that on the bill all right. So that's that's nine thousand eleven dollars. It should be nine thousand ten dollars, but eleven dollars and seventy one cents. So grand total of over ten thousand dollars today, here's the grand total.

That's. Why you're in such a good mood? Yes, but with the fuel prices and it's almost in yachting season, that's like a tank nowadays yeah. I might fill up twice on that all right. Well i'll pay and then you'll release the ferrari i'll release the kraken there.

You go, oh, very, very good. Let's take a look at this thing i can already tell the ride. Height is much much better before it was slammed all the way to the ground, so that looks fantastic and then we saw the exhaust earlier. That's just it's a little obscene, but it is pretty cool the valtronic exhaust, oh yeah.

It sounds amazing yeah. When you hit a button, it certainly wakes up and beltronic you're able to do this for any car. So you can go online and if you have uh well just about anything they'll make a valvetronic exhaust for it to where you can hit a button, then it opens it up and makes wonderful noises. So i'm very excited to hear that and actually have the perfect way to do it, but uh inside all the broken buttons are gone.

Yeah the window switch, isn't exploding in my hands, that's nice yeah and we have underbody panels, which is good. I have to worry about parts just flying off of this car all right. Well, thank you, wizard, no problem. Thank you for the nice paying of the bill.

I got ta put gas in my yacht, all right! Well, fire it up. I got ta hit that mountronic button here. Oh i heard the valve open. Yes, that'll do first off the ride.

Height makes an enormous difference in this thing and the way it rides and feels, and also the mounts, the motor mounts feel so good. I didn't realize how bad it was before the wizard actually sent me a picture of the mount. It was completely shredded and torn apart. Now it feels so much smoother.

Oh yeah! Listen to that noise yeah! This valvetronic exhaust is doing the job as we go into the tunnel. That'll do that'll, do really nicely, i'm so happy with the way this car came out. I mean i don't have to worry about it now. It has all the miles on it, so i can drive it as much as i want with the body panels on underneath.

I don't have to worry about parts falling off now. The buttons are not all sticky and breaking and all that the stereo is working as intended. So it's sorted, and now we can find out how healthy this ferrari actually is, because our friends over at bg have a dino. They invited me down to bring a few cars and, of course, i had to see how this ferrari is doing after 87, 000 miles.

So, let's head down there all right dino time. Am i going to clear that so in order to get it up on the dyno, we had to take the underbody panel off that was just put on and it's uh showing that it's leaking a little goo, so typical hoopty life, it's always leaking mbg. Here i mean it looks like a hospital or cleaner than a hospital these facilities, and they got it all hooked up now now, from the factory he's put about 450 horsepower a little over 315 pound-feet of torque, but now we have 88 000 miles on this thing. It's been wrecked, it's been abused, so i'm very curious what it'll do so far so good.

How do we do well? Not that i'm making excuses already but uh they're saying that dyno runs really low and they're doing it in third instead of fourth, so that probably explains the number, because there's no way it's like 130 horsepower off of what it's supposed to be so anyway sounds fantastic, Though well, i'm going to respectfully disagree with those dyno numbers for a couple of reasons: number one. They ran it in third, when they should have in fourth and they're, saying their dino race low. So well, there you go but bg a fantastic company based out of kansas. They make oils and additives to bring life back into your injectors into your engines, really really needed today with cars, modern technology, emissions and crazy stuff, so they're doing quite well for themselves, and they have that dyno and lots of other equipment for science, because they're testing Everything out it's not some snake oil type of business where they sell things based on.

Like a pyramid scheme, i mean it's the real stuff so check them out. If you have time, it's not a sponsored video by them just to thank you, but now we're gon na try and make this ferrari look a lot prettier than it actually is on video. It looks just fine, but then you get up close and it has a lot of little defects and things, and i have an idea to make it look a lot better and pretty cool stuart. I'm back.

I see it man, i could hear it when it pulled up well, hopefully you can make it look better because it's hard to show on film, but this thing has a lot of weirdness to it in the paint being salvaged title there's like a overcooked job here. It's kind of easier to see in the shade than in the sun. Ah i just got my my shade. Oh yeah be careful yeah.

I won't do that again, um! Oh, i see it though, so a little bit deeper, there's another spot in one of the fenders and then up front. I mean, i think, the way to do it and i've seen you do this on some cars before where you do the full ppf. But then you can do it in matte and it'll be a matte finish, but then it's translucent. What do you call it translucent right? Yes, oh this would just be killer yeah.

This would look so good yeah. So hopefully it can hide a lot of the sins or cover them up. Quite a bit. Yeah, we'll have to we'll have to touch all these up first, but that's no problem we'll get all these touched up, we'll we'll kind of go over the paint real, quick um.

You know before we put it on. We have to prep it anyway, but um. Oh, it's tyler, that's gon na be so cool. It will be, i think so it'll be different.

I mean i already have gold wheels and blingy tailpipe and the interior is so red and really cool could use a clean as well so yeah. Just oh. I like this, go nuts, i mean not, don't go road master nuts i mean was a little but yeah yeah, you know have fun, i should say yeah yeah, we'll uh, we'll get it. It'll look amazing and then you'll have and then you'll have two of my cars at once.

That's right! Oh! You want to see the other one it's kind of like in transition so, but it makes it look like a hooptie, it's kind of cool. Yes, please please yeah. Some folks mentioned this in the last video that people don't run out on bills with you for obvious reasons, so yeah there's nothing to see here so anyway, the wizard doesn't have a rifle at his desk, at least hey here's, the vpf. So this is the translucent mat yeah, it's a it's a mat um.

Of course it's on the carrier. Let me get it off this carrier. So the cool thing about this tyler is it's. It's a paint protection film.

So it's very strong, so you won't get rock chips. Okay, um, like you, can see this, i mean i can't even get that through there wow and see the grin on my face. I mean this is real. Oh you're, you're, really flexible yeah all right now.

I can do it, of course, if i put a razor of course i can, but you know like a screwdriver or rock chip, i mean that's, isn't that crazy wow. So it's very, very strong. This is self-healing. So when it's um, that's that's cool yeah like say you put it on a glossy finish.

You know now you won't have all this great stuff right, but um it'll look it'll! Just it's gon na look! It's gon na! Look amazing and the red will look crazy. Well, speak yeah, something that doesn't look amazing. What it's lost its eyes. Yeah the 928 trademark is the fact that its eyeballs kind of pop out of its head and and well now, they've they're gone so yeah.

This is just for a bumper spray yeah. You know to get the bumper off properly you have to you have to get everything, so we had to move the the bug eyes: okay, but yeah, just uh that a little touch-up and the interior yeah. So we got the interior done um. So once we get the bumper uh finished and put back on, then we'll we'll do the outside and it'll be ready to roll nice.

Okay! Well, the ferrari's gon na have quite a transformation, it's already incredible to have it back and have such an amazing transformation in the driving experience. But now it's going to look very different and a lot better. So thank you stuart as usual van gogh, they're the best! Well, i'm back at the garage now ferrari listened uh stewart gave me a little funny quip after the video off camera. He reminded me how much wraps cost, and this particular ppf doing it on the entire car is quite expensive.

It'll be more than the roadmaster. So you know he's not going crazy, i mean that's just the going right for it. I didn't realize and well i'd already shot the video and sort of said yes to it so anyway, that leads me to this decision. I need to get rid of one of the ferraris.

I currently have four, which is absolutely insane. Three of them are mid engine v8 cars that all do sort of the same thing. So it's not going to be the 456 with the v12 and the gated manual to be impossible to replace for any kind of money close to what i could get for it and it's my only family ferrari, so that leaves the 348 the 355 and the 458. The four five eight makes sense because it's higher mileage it's worth the most and keeping it long-term, though it makes no sense as a salvage title ferrari.

It's not gon na go up in value with the mileage and the history on the thing, but it is really cool really fun to drive. But if i did sell it for say what it's worth, which is basically what i paid for it replacing. It would be really hard and it would cost about 60 or 80 thousand dollars more for the next cheapest one for sale. So that's kind of a tough decision there.

The 355 makes the most sense as an investment. It's lower mileage, like 30 000 miles, a yellow convertible. Those things are going up and up and up and up, but it is the most needy of the three cars. Probably when it comes to mechanics the 355's, not very reliable uh.

They had a tendency to burn to the ground, as i saw on a previous ferrari, and there is the steering issue the 355 steering is so over assisted and vague, which is why i like the 348 so much better. It has normal unassisted steering, but the power i'm getting used to the 355 and the beautiful engine under there. That sings like to 2500 rpm past, where the 348 goes. The gated manual on the 348 feels like a dinosaur in comparison to the 355 and the fact that 348 has a hundred thousand miles on it.

Another car - that's not a very smart investment to keep long-term. It's been repainted badly. It has house carpet inside of it bus seats. That's not going to be a really big collectible down the road.

That's going to see rapid appreciation like a nice car would like the 355.. So i'm in a bit of a pickle here i am going to sell one. I am going to sell one soon and i need the money to pay for all these other cars, but i'm not sure which one you all can certainly help me make my decision by leaving a comment in the comment section.
