Your collection is just the perfect amount of quirky. Love it. I, too, have a soft spot for the Nova Twin Can and the McLaren Pontiac. A shame about the lousy ABS system on the Pontiac. They really were cool cars back when GM didn't have much to boast about.

I had a 1992 Corolla and loved it. I now own a 1990 Camry All-Trac and love it too

Put that Dodge RAM to use on Roadie! It's a package delivery service and some gigs pay pretty well for those that require a truck. Where I live, Tractor Trailer Supply pays $40+ for you to deliver 10-15 miles! Once this pandemic is over and you're in the mood to travel, you might could find a gig on Roadie that would take you somewhere interesting. Before COVID, I worked my way through Georgia, hit a lot of the Florida major cities (Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Key West) and got paid to do it. Over $1200 worth of trips, gas was only a few hundred, slept in the car and got to explore different bars, meet some awesome people. Once COVID is over, I look forward to doing that again

Been rolling through watching the RAD videos, thinking Australia would really appreciate something like that. So different & refreshing. Mind you, I’m not in the scene, even though I am a little like this bloke with my five cars (naughties & nineties), in which I seem to replace the one I just sold with another one almost straight away every time, including ‘that look’ (you would relate mr ‘hellocar’, I’m sure) from my wife.

Actually tearing the interior of the Pontiac apart and using it as a home office would be pretty awesome. Especially those seats. Also THAT PROBE WHATTT! If its a V6/5 speed...whew

One car I owned when I was 17/18 year's old (2000/2001) was a 1985 Merkur Xr4ti with a 5spd manual and was the most fun to drive car I ever owned and definitely the one that got the most looks.

I am the same way as you Ethan. Back when I was 18, I bought a 1991 Eagle Premier ES as my first car. I looked for three years to find one and though I had a 1989 LX model, it was not the same. Now, though I found a 1991 Eagle Premier ES Limited that is the same color as my first car. I love it as it brings back all the memories as it has the same features my first car had; Floor shift, automatic seatbelts, luggage rack, graphic equalizer, I could go on. Paid $1100 for it. In that sense, I respect your love for that Geo Prizm GSi, one man's junk is another's treasure.

Looks like a bunch of people beat me to it!! That unmistakable body line and pop up headlight of a ford probe and why am I not surprised it’s purple??!!

Fun video! Some of my favorite cars over the years are 1987 Honda CRX, 1996 Land Rover Discovery, 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo.

I admire your love of the rare cars that were not well liked or known.

You could basically host your own Radwood 😎

Your T-shirt with a B210 reminds me of my childhood. A neighbor bought a brand new, white B210. I was in high school. Over the next few years I watched the car's body rust in a manner I have not seen since. I mean, the body became a gaping hole of rust within about 3 years. Rust holes everywhere: doors, hood, fenders, quarter panels. Everywhere. And not just surface rust. I'm talking oxidation that completely enveloped the body.

Wow I'm 42 I remember all these cars not a lot of people care about these cars I want to keep your collection going I'm an A tech and can bring those cars back to life

I think the tour and radwood videos are my favorite. Anything with your personal cars in general are amazing haha. Definitely hang on to some of those! But then again if it's breaking the bank it might be time to let some go 😅. I know the feeling too well of only being able to have so many unfortunately

All these cars, except for the 2005-20 models, bring back memories. !

Holy Sh!t. I had a 98 SER from 2000-2003. Loved it. Handled so nice. kept up with equal aged Civic SI etc in my areas little street race scene. We did more of a time attac/rally on back roads style rather than drags. Jeez we were crazy in our early 20s.

Love the video man! If you wanna get any bad smell out of a car. I learn this from the body shop I bought my TGP from in Wilkesboro NC. A Thunder chicken had mold in it bad and the car looked clean just smelled horrid. The husband and wife who owned the place told me you get one of those air freshener that grandmas have on the back of their toilet for the house and leave it in there in the hot sun for days and then all you'll smell is the air freshener and itll suck out all the smell into the goo in the freshener. remove and air out and you are golden! 👍🤘🙂🙃 Thatll take care of the pee smell for ya! hahah

This video is so damm awesome! The interior on the Stanza looks strikingly similar to my 86 Hardbody D21 4x4. Even the door panel, didn't know they recycled that many elements in 86

I own 2 of the fifth gen Nova's, I rebuilt one of the engines and they both run so well!!

I had a '87 Stanza wagon. Same color, but is was 4WD. So Nissan also threw that at it. It worked great in the snow. Drove it to California from Wisconsin and back. Took a pass for fun at the Bonneville Salt Flats. It was a cool car.

On my 87 Nova I got it for $1,500. I've only replaced a few engine accessories: alternator, starter, water pump, timing/serpentine belts, valve lift/lash adjustment, and for the final touch all new exhaust pipes-nothing fancy but replaced them due to rust/leaks, besides that it's in decent shape and when I bought it had 68k miles, now it has 105k and still runs like an old clock. The other Nova is an 1988 (carb) engine and I got it for $200 but had to tow it home, the previous owner had blown the head gasket due to overheating, but I replaced the head gasket, piston rings, rod bearings, (4A-LC engines don't have cam bearings) and all valve stem seals along with new timing belt and timing cover gaskets, after about $1,000 of parts (also including new exhaust pipes) it was cheaper than buying the first Nova, but I'm happy to own two weird almost unknown/forgotten cars. Thank you for showing them, it's nice to see others own old cars, and take care of them!!

The Stanza is of the group of cars I called high hat wagons. There was a Tercel and a Mitsubishi Colt sold as a Dodge. I took, and was failed in a driving test in a borrowed Tercel wagon in 1990. I passed later that year in my friend's Mom's 1988 LeBaron sedan.

Wow, the Stanza Wagon that used to be the Nissan Axxess. I always tell my friends Dodge actually didn’t have the first four door minivan in ‘96; Nissan did with the Axxess.

Ps I wouldnt ever get rid of that TGP! If you love it drive it man! Everyone Inknow who's had one and sells them ends up wanting them back in a couple years and regrets it dearly and it costs them! Yours is low miles and that's an harder thing to find. I'd Paint it again and you'll soo fall in love for many reasons. Also get that thing out to some car shows when everything is back to normal! You'll be amazed at how many people come and look and wanna ask questions and talk to you about it! Great way to send people to your KZread and Podcast too! 💜🤘

I think I have somewhat similar taste in cars to you. I currently have 7 vehicles (5 cars, 2 bikes). At a certain point it becomes a challenge to give all of your vehicles regular use. There are some weekends when I think about going out of town somewhere but I'm like "nah, I have a couple of vehicles that I haven't started all week and need to drive." Also, my main dd is also the car that I would most trust on a road trip and I don't want to drive it all weekend, in addition to having given it a lot of use during the week. First world problems . . .

I only clicked on this video because I saw the NUMMI cars in the thumbnail. Was pleasantly surprised by your eclectic collection. If you find an FX-16, you'll have the NUMMI twin cam trifecta.

Love the videos by the way!

U got a stanza! Nice collection! Haha, my style

It seems like you prefer weird cars. Lincoln LS is for you. Jagaur based Lincoln. I own one and love every second of driving it, it fells fast as hell. Yet it does 0-60 in probably over 8 seconds.

That Pontiac and Porsche tho🔥

Turbo grand prix...I always kinda wanted one...very cool unique car they were. I'd LOVE to do a big turbo build on one

I think an early 90s chevy lumina z34 would blend in nicely with your collection! I had a mint 1991 black one in 2000 that I bought with under 5k miles on it. Took it to shows and gained alot of attention cause I added some Dale Earnhardt special touches and he ended up getting killed in 2001. Made money selling it to a Dale fan.

17:38 dont worry,that flying piston is stuck in that floating tesla roadster in space

I would have the same problem if I had the money lol. I daily a 89 F-150 manual 4x4 with the 351. Everything works, even the Cruise control works. It’s mechanical sound at 300,203 kms. But that’s a 80’s ford for ya. You should buy a 80’s pickup. Change it up a bit. Great video

I recently junked a 1990 Chevrolet Corsica hatchback. That was rare.

Dude props on Nova and the Grand Am Turbo. However, you and I certainly have a similar interest in the rare/weird/rad late 80s early 90s. One car I have been searching for ever since the moment I passed one up (probably to only one I'll ever find) is the Hyundai Scoupe LS Turbo. I love the styling of both the generations but the second gen notches out the first by just a hair. Give them a look when you get a chance. The one I was looking to by at the time only had 105k clean body and interior black paint for only $1300. I only had $1100 and needed a car that day to which I went 90 Integra Gs (which ended up being great and I got 125k miles out of it myself). The next car on my list is a 90-93 Isuzu Stylus preferably 1992 as it had the 1.8l DOHC. If you look into these they made turbo awd 4ws JDM versions. 140hp for a '92 mini sedan that weighed 2253lbs. While we are on the Isuzu line up I also have to mention my favorite hatchback ever created (coming in at a very close second would be the Mazda 323 gtx) is the 1989 Isuzu I-Mark RS. You'll love them as well I'm sure! Well hopefully you actually read and maybe respond to this message as I'd love to talk 'OUR' cars with ya some more! Take care man, Cody

You need to find a 1986-1989 Chrysler Conquest or Mitsubishi Starion. Those are really sweet and scream late 80's styling.

I want that Nissan stanza wagon. The Nissan stanza wagon, Nissan axxess, and Mitsubishi expo are my favorite oddball minivans.

Are there not any car washes near you? Lol. I would like to see that Nova cleaned up.

what do you want for the turbo grand prix and prism gsi?

Saw the 944 before he even said anything. I actually find them for super cheap (n/a usually) all the time. Not into German cars, personally, but i love a cheap rwd fun car with pop ups. Just wish there was a mod market for cheap mod and replacement parts.

I initially didn't think I wanted it, but I really want to restore that Geo Prizm GSi...

I always wanted a Pontiac Grand Prix McLaren always thought the dashboard, electronics, interior and outside was amazing and so cool, just wish it came with manual, also functional coupe would love to buy it

Meanwhile I have a 2006 xB with 172,000 miles on it and it fails me a lot lol It's also got major rust issues ALSO HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER SEEING MEMES OF YOUR LIAM NISSAN A FEW YEARS AGO!

Just how do you afford all the costs of keeping all those cars? Serious question. It gets expensive paying all these registration fees, even if the cars are old. In addition, you also have to pay to smog them every two years. And what about Insurance? I keep minimum coverage on mine, and I receive the low-mileage discount, and I still pay thru the nose for any additional cars I put on the policy. Explaining to the insurance companies that I am the only driver in my household and that my annual mileage exposure to risk doesn't change regardless of how many cars I have doesn't seem to make a difference to them. So how do guys like you and Hoovie handle this aspect of car ownership? I really want to know.

wasn't expecting you to buy a probe lol

What about the Mitsubishi Chariot? That was bigger and was released earlier than that Nissan minivan?

The blue Nissan scars the shit out of me just thinking about driving it!! That is a death trap on wheels.

Our suns rays are worse here in Hawkesbay. My 2002 Corolla hatchback has a long split in the dashboard above the clock and heater controls. Thankfully my car is white, so only the bonnet has sun damage

How much does it cost to renew your license plate tabs, smog and insure?

How much do you spend in insurance every year?

What? Those look like pretty fine cars to me
