I talk about my Life Experiences such as doing 5 years and 3 months in Prison for a 1st time drug offense in 1990 to Steroid abuse after prison and having a mild heart attack going from 192 ponds to 296 pounds..and other health issues over the years such as Vertigo
I also talk about cars I buy and resell and what to look out for (common issues /Pros and Cons etc) Also I do local travel videos throughout New England showing our local tourist destinations to hiking and walking trails

Always felt like these things always devalued the Porsche brand. Nice car though it is im a total badge snob and feel that an SUV Porsche just doesn’t work for me.
Got a 2010 ES 350 in 2015 with 17k miles. Now 146k miles, no major repairs yet.
Thats great !Change the trans fluid?
Know a friend that has 230k no issues
Thats great!
Where do you sell the cars? Once you restore them. Just found your channel. I was looking at Honda fit and found your video…
Boston and New Hampshire craigslist /FB -
I know I’m late to the party but I’m currently deciding between an 06 4R, 140k for 12k or 18k for an FJ, perfect condition with off road package upgrades for 18k. Any advice in choosing? 😂
Go with your instinct!
If you can get the price down on the FJ.....But 2 doors vs 4 etc..I had both..FJ for me because I dont really need 4 doors ,no kids etc
Thank you Soo much for sharing. I was looking at a GTS BUT it is not for the faint pocket.
They can be expensive -it is a Porsche after all..but find a good garage that will treat you right and you can have a great car with repairs being fair..so it cost me $1300.00 for this service ..tires was $ 1000.00 alone
I got one and is leaking coolant crazy is hard to work on big motor and for a sedan and you don’t have to much space to work on but other than that is a good car to go to point A to point B IT IS A luxury car!!! Read the owners manual
good luck with that leak!
I just traded my 2007 with 216000 for a 2013 fj I love you to death
Thanks for sharing
If you punch a hole in the top of that filter before you drain the oil you get no mess.
No farting 💩 in that! Sweet ride!
Yes it is! You still have that VW ?
@@BaldadonisMike2021 yes sir! My daughter is driving it now. Just hit 170,000 miles!
@@MrSizewise awesome!
Thank you Soo much for sharing. Very detailed video. Very much appreciated.
Nice edit, but you honestly don't explain much (step by step, etc)
Dude it's crazy easy you must be someone without any skills or knowledge of cars? Im sure there are plenty of videos that do step by step..
@@BaldadonisMike2021 I’ll check other videos, thanks, yep, no skills
Wasn't being disrespectful when I said that....just wanted you to know that..But I understand where you are coming from!
@@BaldadonisMike2021 No problem, just am observation, looking for more substance and direction. Keep up the good work!
SOLD! 4 weeks after buying the GTS my Aunt and Uncle bought it! I did 2 more videos on it -great suv! I was just getting use to it and enjoyed while I had it
For all you people that says you're alternator failed put plastic bag around it before changing your oil filter
Great tip!
Thanks to the reply but can you tell me why my 6 bank pulls a code replaced coil and plug got this inspection coming.up
@@martycaldwell7197 maybe VVT solenoid ? run rough at all?
2013 with six speed manual transmission and 157k miles awd for $7500 is a good deal?
you have paperwork on repairs?
Cahs.
That's my water downed Boston talk! I been out of Boston for 21 years! lol
Beautiful car bro.
Thank you! I sold it 2 weeks ago, new owner loves it!
I have 2010 honda fit sport 60 thousand miles and works very well i love it i don't like jdm but jdm have power folding mirror smart Key and climat control best car this segment ❤
I did a drain and fill on my transmission at 240k. Probably the first time. Going to do another at my next oil change
Good man!
That “hold” thing is the “drive off assistant” it’s supposed to keep the car from rolling back on an upward hill. Wild. Beautiful car, but you already know I think that 😂
Can that be turned off? I did it to me a few times today its annoying ..
@@BaldadonisMike2021 so, I thought you could turn it off in the computer screen (the one next to the tach on the right), but now that I search the web I see a bunch of angry people saying it can’t be disabled.😂 It’s supposed to engage when you press the brake a second time when you’ve come to a full halt, or once you come to a full stop if you push the pedal down harder.
I love these 2nd gen fits. Currently have 2 one auto and mt.
miles?
@@BaldadonisMike2021 both are 19x,xxx miles close to 200k.
I have 4 vehicles and just got me a 2007 FJ with 107k miles for 10 grand....i love it...4x4 woman owed since new. She kept super clean...i feel i stole it...but i gave her what she was asking....
that's great! you have many many miles of happiness ! Enjoy
148K is still new for a SC430. Scotty Kilmer has a video with one over 700,000. Yours is a peach you’ll probably get a million.
I seen that w Scotty he didnt like the car lol..it did look like it came from a junkyard ,it was beat looking! lol..I just sold it last week! New owners love it! ( I buy to resell)
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Somebody has a great car. It’s not for everyone.
Can i ask if the gearbox fluid was changed? And if not , when are you planning to change them ?
If my uncle dont buy the GTS I think the rear pads/trans fluid /walnut blasting(valves cleaned) fix the bent rim..its not that bad Im just anal on my wheels being smooth! I ll know soon.....thanks for the comment!
I got a 13 GTS with 120k miles, very nice car but i feel its a little underpowered.
Well I just got it so I really havent driven it too aggressively -yet- I think you have to be in the RPM to get it moving..but for the size and weight I thinks its ok..Im not impressed myself to be honest -but it's a nice cruiser for sure! My BMW X5 Diesel (tuned) I think was faster ...again I havent driven it aggressively ...
I've own a 2010 Black & white w/83K miles 100% dealer service only & have all recipes W/front & rear off road bumpers & K02 tires plus Warm winch and light bar.. Over all it is super clean. Love it and not for sale. I'm from So. Cal.
You have a long way to hit 300k lol .. enjoy it!
Been leaning on getting the 6sp M/T, but only 10% of them were produced. So much easier to find a nicer auto FJ, but all my cars currently are auto and boring to drive. You might be right about using the clutch in traffic (grass is always greener on the other side). It's been 10 years since my last manual transmission so my memory might be a little faded ;)
Its fun if its not a daily in traffic ..but back when I was younger I didnt mind ..But still fun truck..but for me..I would grab a auto on the next 1 (unless I get a great deal w a 6 speed lol)
Boyght a flawless 2003 bmw 330i on Bringatrailer 2 weeks ago. 50k on odometer and paid 8400. Drives like a dream!! Timmy C Arizona
Sport Package ? auto or 6 speed? Send picture! [email protected]
I just googled it..looks nice ! Enjoy!
Would have been a better video without the weird music...more talk about what you were doing...
Thank you for not only your input, but also for your aud. dealership gear head's (his input may have been a touch more helpful and relevant, but your brought his comments to light, so you're both all aces behind / regarding your '14 a4 models with 3 pedals insightfulness. Good times, actually).
Last but not least I subscribed to this KZread channel of yours after checking this vid out. Frankly, I did in fact want to search for this make and model w/ an mt driveline on y.t. Did a search a tiny bit ago... and Boom! Luckily this vid popped up. Cheers.
thanks for the kind message! Are you looking to buy a 6 speed or you already have 1?
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Hi. To answer your question: (a) no, I don't own a 6 speed (either auto or 'sticker' [my nickname for manual rides] . ). Have I ever owned car that featured a 'standard' trans ? Yes siree bob. 1. a green 94' Acura Vigor w/ 5 speeds and 3 pedals. Trouble free until it hit 100,000 miles. Then it became a "moneypit" (I heard the stick shift version of a 2001 Honda Prelude type SH (the top of the line prelude versions exclusive to it's final year or so for that generation, and period, also become unreliable after 100k miles. The Honda Vigor/Acura Vigor stick shift after that many miles or so may be a ghost that decided to haunt that Prelude version (?). Anyway, someone hit my vigor from behind and damaged it wicked-faulty style, so I sold it for parts. I was actually semi willing to pay for any and all repairs because I cared for it. However, now I have an anti money pit acquisition attitude because of 2. my next car: _ a 2008 suburu imprezza wagon with a 5 speed gearbox. That one's dealership (independent) had added a different subu engine, actually. Anyway, whereas my vig's shifter kicked azz all day long in many ways, that one was not a good shifter at all. I sold it after 2 years of owning. I am interested in getting a different sticker, however not one where Tons of people claim it's bad for x, y, and z reasons (although even then I am actually still willing to see if I agree). For example, literally lots of buyers (plus major car magazine writers for several magazines) say the manual tranny's in Volvo C70 coupes are faulty for a variety of reasons. The Lexus 2006 to 2013 Lexus IS250 man. gearbox is sourced from Toyota Tacoma small-ish trucks and wasn't overly modified for car duties, let along a vehicle who's sights were set on cars like BMW 3 series, Merc C classes, Audi A4's, ect. Long answer, I admit. I promise I don't always "talk a persons ear off" here or in person, actually :-).
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Say Mike _ I have a question for you it's a car, 2 part answer trivia question/ pop quiz deal. Without internet searching for the answers, simply put, can you name world's first and second cars available with a 7 speed manual transmission?
Just picked up a 2008 es350 with 135,000 miles. Drives smooth and very quiet. Hope it lasts a long time.
Congrats on your new Es350! Change the oil sooner then later(4-5k miles) and change the trans fluid -then enjoy!
Yeah, this is decent
what struts and coils did you use?
I think 1A Auto parts quick struts TRQ- Old video now and off hand I think TRQ
Beautiful car !! looks great !! looks new !! have you ever considered updating the steering wheel ? something newer ? It woudl top this beauty off ....and instantly modernize the interior. Either way, great car !!
No I think the wheels looks great but I ll be selling it..thats what I do ..buy and resell -make videos on the cars I buy
Best cars...in the world!! :) Ours is a 2005 with the (in my opinion) a nicer dash. The car just goes and goes and is like our best friend.
how many miles you have on it? I heard those years water comes in through hatch etc ..that true?
That one is a keeper. Beautifully spec.
She is a beauty! Thanks for the comment !
Mean looking ride 😎
Thanks! Yeah she is sharp!
Your best drone photography yet! I loved how you were able to perfectly frame the lighthouse in the video. The sunset portion was spectacular! I still can’t fathom how you take such an expensive device and send it on its way out over water…..I would be freakin out thinking that it would ditch in the water. They stay all the videographers get the cute girls…..now I know that’s true! Well done on both accords.
GPS keeps it from crashing unless I make a mistake..Love my drone..DJI Mini 4 Pro!
i had a 2007 5spd and i bought it with 485 km"s with the original clutch. got rid of it at 585 km's still getting close to 40 mpg but the body was going. i'm definitely getting another manuel
You should change the title you made it seem like you were naming pros and cons after owning it for 185k miles 😂😂 be like “Pros and Cons buying a Lexus RX with 185k Miles” 😅😅
"Wintuh" I grew up in East Boston, I know that accent.. Great car, drove one for the first time a few weeks ago, I'm buying one for the helluva it.. The interior is comparable to a Bentley. Yep I said that.
Interior is nice! Everett I grew up ! Thanks for the comment my man!
@@BaldadonisMike2021 I'm in Ca. now, what I would give for some Newbridge Cafe and Kelly's R.B. on the beach.. You are 8th owner of that Lexus? I came across one for $6,500 with 210k miles. It looks brand new.. Figured what the heck..
I have a 2003 Camry LE, almost exactly like yours without the wood interior. It has 292,000 and it runs beautiful. Smoooth. I love it. Uses a tiny bit of oil but expected for it's age. Only thing is the evap and I diagnosed it to the canister, but it rins great and it's my things to do. I do all the mentaince on it.
Thats great to hear ! I think this video is 3 years old now..but Im glad to hear yours is running strong!
❤❤❤❤ love it bro!!! I have a 2003 lexus sc430
Thanks my man! How many miles on your 03?
And they recommended a whole new pan too lol
I went back..cost me $120 for them to tell me it was not leaking but said it was cam seal leak-crank seal leak..I was like really?? Where is that video showing that from the Tech? Dont' have it ..But you had video showing the lower pan gasket needing replacing .. I sold the lexus the other day so I didn't get a chance to make another video on it but in the next car video I will talk a little about it..This dealership didn't have this repair in their records but when confronted with the receipt of work done..OHHHHH thats weird..I wouldn't trust this dealership ...
Mike, this is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. It's been a long. time since I was up in Maine. I lived in OGT and Wells for many years.
Thanks for reaching out,did you see the last video? that was fun in York
sold! July 13,2024

Hey @baldonis,it’s been a long time! Any idea when the Fall Kanc Cruise will be? Gotta bring the Fiat on a comeback tour!! LOL
What Fiat is that? I think it's on Oct? I think I will go again ,not sure..
@@BaldadonisMike2021 The red Fiat 500 Abarth. Black stripes & black mirror caps. It's been a few years (life got in the way). Sometimes I would wear the "Ghostface" mask around Halloween.😁
