*Slaps hood* "You can fit SO many tarantulas in this baby." Honestly, as a mechanic, I think you will greatly enjoy learning how vehicles work. You have the mind of a tinkerer, and this is the perfect type of thing to stimulate it. It can sometimes be frustrating, but there is no better feeling than finally finishing the project that was giving you a problem and driving away. And by the way, many of us Americans still prefer manual transmissions.

Thanks! It is good to see that there are mechanics watching. I'll just ask in the videos when I need some advice :'D

Agreed. My daily driver is an automatic, however, I do have a car in my garage with a manual transmission . It's my weekend ride.

Hello fellow Canadian! From Ontario, Canada.

This is actually a really cool idea for your bonus videos. I don't even care about cars and whatnot, but this should be a fun watch.

I really like the bonus video on Fridays. As for Petcos auto repair videos, the more the better. I think alot of DarkDen subscribers like myself will be watching. Keep up the good work and best wishes from northern Indiana.

Man, I can't wait for this series!! I'm glad you're finding new things to keep you busy and happy. Don't forget this series please!! Keep us updated on this beauty.

Man, didnt expect to see a car review from you, love it. Nice quirks and features

The Lada Niva is a classic. a lot of Hunters in Germany drive them. They have a problem with rust and the engine is kinda underpowerd BUT its still one of the best offroad cars ever Made. Simple yet Working soviet technology.

Honestly I don't really mind what kind of bonus videos you put out, your enthusiasm and happiness from whatever you do makes all videos 10/10! Can't wait to see your journey with this new project :)

Aww dark den out in the nature's an stuff looks absolutely beautiful out there were you are😊

OMG! You are so right about the front lights, totally a surprised face and really cute lol

Awww man as much as I love the dark den stuff I’m actually excited to see you give this a makeover. As someone from the uk lada hasn’t been here in years and never this thing

I absolutely love the excitement you have and portray through the whole video/review. It genuinely made me excited about it too! Awesome little project, good luck 🤞 💜🍀

Love the reference to Doug! Hope all goes well with the new 4x4!

1:01 the music fits well!!

Petko, you did make me laugh but I like to see your enthusiasm for something new. Looking forward to seeing your progress on it.

I'm an American and I absolutely hate that I have to drive automatic cars most of the time lol my dad taught me how to drive in a manual and I love it also a mechanic here too and very excited to watching you learn this new skill!

That actually started pretty well. The little odds and ends that need fixed? Well that's the fun part of it lol. I find it insanely satisfying working on and fixing a vehicle. Cheap obtainable parts with few electrical components makes a great choice for a learning experience

You are like a kid with a new toy! Your enthusiasm is endearing. Look forward to watching this story play out!

This mkes me soooo fkn happy! Happy to have ya in the 4x4 community Petco!

Very cool and I love seeing you all excited. Can't wait to see you fix it up.💓💓

Wow! You know so much about so much. I wish I had some of your skills! My house was built in 1948, I have a whole list of projects, but unfortunately not the know how and not the time. Although I have tackled several. Usually, when I get far enough in that I'm pretty committed I find myself wondering "What was I thinking!!?!?". 🤣 This is gonna be so much fun to watch! Congrats on your new vehicle/project! Yay!!!

I am an automotive tech here in the states, this cars SWEET! I'm excited to watch you learn with this rig! PS battery light on is likely an alternator or if applicable, voltage regulator good luck buddy!

Looks like fun, nothing like a project car, Good luck have fun!!!🚙🚙

I love your videos and will really enjoy these videos about cars ❤️

That's a cool little 4x4 your going to have some great fun driving her around, I'm looking forward to seeing the restoration and the offroading.

Love the techno music during the walk around of your 4X4 and the cars surprised look!

Cant wait to see updates and upgrades to it! From its current state to a new improved one

I'm really happy for you! I hope you have a lot of fun with it :)

Great car dude! I’m hyped - it will be awesome

Great job Petko! I think your new car will be an excellent project! I've never heard of this car but I was born in 1977 so I like it!

Omg a restoration video, LOVE IT

Congratulations! I like your new vehicle. Will be looking forward to future updates!

I think your thirst for knowledge and learning knew things is what attracts me to your videos, Im much the same. Im so scared of spiders and bugs but to watch someone so passionate makes them less scary to me. Excited to see the progress on your 4X4 ! Its a cool looking vehicle! Love from the UK 🇬🇧 💙

Yes! Need more Dark Den car videos!

Ya know what? More Petko shenanigans is exactly what I need so thank you for also daring to do something out of your usual content. Can't wait to see you learn a bunch of new stuff along the way!

Didn't expect to see a review on the car from my cancer country.

Oh yeah, taking the den off road. Love it

I like how this video show something completely different and new for this channel while still fitting the general theme. Good luck with working on that oldie :)

I watched all videos so bring them on and I will watch them. Good Luck with your new car/SUV!

I love your description of this vehicle: It looks like it's surprised!

Thank you Petko. Have fun.

So great to see you being so happy about the car :D It´s realy a good offroadcar! Gratz

Oh yes, I'd love to fix up the old Lada with you. That would be fun. Learning new stuff. Sounds great to me👏👏👏

My Dad had one, but a 90 something. 80 hp, and very heavy! Most if my memories are digging it out if sand, mud, and snow.

I’m excited!

New series I’m in love

Hey hey! I’m a mechanic here in America and I also love going off road with my truck! And all the stuff that’s wrong with your SWEET new ride is perfect for beginners. Doing research and watching some good ol KZread videos is the perfect way to learn, just follow everything step by step and with your common sense and building ability I have 100% faith you can do all those things

I loved the Doug DeMuro lines at the start

nice touch with the music, really put a smile on my face. :)

Love it! My wife is Croatian I had a green one over there. I loved it!

I too love maintaining my vehicles. Can’t wait to see your updates. KZread will be a great tool when you need help. I took my 2004 F150 all the way down to the engine block to replace some seals and did it by watching KZread with no help from anyone. Good luck!!!

Yeah, but unfortunately not that much videos on english language in regards to this car!

I fucking loved this video! And I love that car! Good luck my friend, can’t wait to see where you and it takes us.

Lada is, as lots of Russians said me while I was there few years ago, THE DIY car. There's always something broken or that is falling apart ahah

Love the look of the new buggy, never seen that here in Canada

Congrats Petko! 🥳 Talk about being fulfilled! Working on ur own vehicle is a RUSH! Enjoy 😁👍

I actually really love this vehicle. I would have it painted or wrapped in camo and have the inside all Army green. Can't wait for more videos of this beauty.

Very cool little ride 😎 👌It's strange to see a spare tire on the engine!😂 How many cylinders? Very cool Lada my friend! I would like more videos of you working on your ride. Thanks for the sweet video! 😊

Haha yeah, It's a 4 cylinder engine of course xD

Sweet ride, Ladas have never been common in Canada, have always thought the Nivia was a cool little 4x4. The European Suzuki samari.

I spent a lot of my teenage summers in the central italy countryside, this car really reminded me those times (we had even worse car!)!!! Thank you so much, I can't wait to see new videos about this bad girl!!!

Its like a mini early 80s bronco. Cute and cool.

Congratz on the New car petko!!!

Looks like a fun project

You’re a cool dude! I enjoy your videos.

I know I've said it before, but Petko, you are so damn likable! Can't wait to see how you fix up your Lada!

Ooh a Dark Den Car video. Nice~!! I could get used to this kind of content.

Love that Lada!

This will be an amazing new series....

Always fancied one of those for belting around England’s farm roads.

That’s a cool ass little Buggy I love it

I love how Slav this video is

Can't wait for the Dark Garage.

If it was any other channel for sure the last part about learning stuff would have transitioned into a skill share advert, I was so ready for it🤣

Lada? This gets the Boris seal of approval for sure, especially in combination with the hardstyle music! 😁

awesome car, much of joy with it!

Speaking of skate boarding, try land paddling! Its like Stand Up Paddling that you do on the ocean but you can do land paddling any where, fun and many tricks not done yet ;)

I’m still so excited because we do more than repeat the same actions on this channel.

Dark Denmobile! Lada Niva, perfect car for making love in the nature. Suspension is perfect for it and there is no squeeks. But that still dont stop sudden bystanders to realize whats happening in the car:):)

Dark Den gets an automobile restoration channel??? LETS GO!!

New channel: The Car Den 😁 Reminds me of my old 1979 VW Beetle, I had a lot of fun driving it. Of course it was high maintenance, with things breaking every month or so, but I have fond memories of that particular car. Have lots of fun with this one!

Oh boy, I feel like future outdoor and car content is gonna be lit. Petko on adventure time, hihi.

Great vid,also ex skateboarder and current Lada owner,drive often!😊

I absolutely am in LOVE with that car. Also, Americans have stick shift (manual transmission) vehicles lol. I still drive manual to this day.

Sounds like you have the right vehicle for a novice DIYer. All mechanical, and parts cheap and available. Don't most fellas secretly want a project car. Looking forward to the content.

I can't explain it but I LOVE YOU!

I remember your video with toyota 👍🏼

Hell yeh, its so beautiful!

I love it!

You need to put bigger tires on her and get a big roof rack so you can haul stumps and logs up there . Absolutely love it and can’t wait for more videos on this beautiful piece of machinery

That lada is super awesome!!! I would not drive it at all without the water pump belt. It can blow the head gasket very easily if it overheats

Love the cheeky Doug references 👀😂

oooh yea .., that thing has ALOT of potential .,.,. looks cool ., that would be a fortune in the states , every one wants something like that here .,

My dream car

First lesson: its called a crank shaft. The drive shaft runs under the vehicle between the transmission and rear end differential. The next lesson will cost you tho ( im kidding). But for real im excited for this. The only channels I watch on youtube are tarantula related or car related, so this will be really cool to see both of my favorite subjects on one channel! Keep up the good work, love your content!!

Lada hype!

I wish I could get a Lada Niva so easily, and more importantly, so cheaply! But no such luck here in the US. Looking forward to see what you do with it!

Seriously Petko when are you going to Terraplaza this year? I would really like to finally shake your hand and thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of inverts.

this was always one of my dream cars 🥺 someday i will own one ❤️
