An ounce of prevention is worth a gallon of cure. Btw, the fact that you are proactively prevents issues rather than wait for problems to happen is why I certainly respect you as a car enthusiast, I imagine most others feel the same way too and because you are a public figure who has a lot of other car enthusiasts that also like cars and many unlike me might actually be able to afford your high-end cars, you have established that your cars are taken care of and will need nothing if you decided to sell them. In other words, if you decide to sell any of your cars, the meticulous way you take care of your cars and your public reach will guarantee your cars will command significantly higher prices than other comparable cars.

Keep driving your cars Doug! I'm living vicariously through you

Dude, Doug already went to a lot of detail in a previous video when he first purchased the car. He actually explained it much better in that video than this one. Sure, there was some quality-of-life mods, but the wing and suspension work were definitely a service visit.

That's a lot, but considering what you had installed, I consider those mandatory upgrades to keep the value high. It also makes it more manageable. The lift should be on ALL valuable cars.

I do understand it's cooler at the ocean, but it doesn't snow. Totally unnecessary, I'm against this one adding weight. Use the dang custom luggage and keep a couple scarves and light but effective jackets for him and his wife. If you know the weather in advance, just wear some Merino layers. Soft, light, thin, good for cool and warm. All you need is some light layers.

The fact that you *drive* these cars is what I like the most about your collection. They're all designed to be experienced on the road (and the track!), not just sit around and be admired. Although, I've got to admit, I'd do a lot of sitting around and admiring if I had your collection. 🙂 Glad to hear they're all doing reasonably well so far. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your videos.

The best of all possible 'spoiler' alerts. Were I in your position, I'd have made the same decisions you did and for the same reasons. Now let's have some _extended_ driving videos of that CGT with a fully-mic'ed exhaust!

Actually, any of your videos can always go on longer because they are that solid Doug, so never apologize and keep up the great work! :0)

Thank you for your trust in our suspension system and also this awesome feedback on it. 💛💜

You are right that a Countach is the best kind of car to evoke emotion and passion. Now the question is are we getting a track day video with it when you get it back? 😅 Also, at least you don't need to ship it to Italy for servicing!

Would be nice to have a tour of the garage itself, definitely seemed to have moved up to something bigger than your house garage
