The engine on my $2,000,000 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing catastrophically failed

Glad Mercedes Classic did such a great job restoring it.

Buy cheap, you get cheap. 😉 THANK YOU for the reassurance that you're going to put the proper wheels back on the 500SL. Really relieved.

Sad about the Gullwing. Glad you kept your son safe and you are lucky to have the Car Wizard and Daniel-Son at the ready. I get it about your 560. I bought my dad's Escalade from my step mom after his passing. Within a year I traded it on a pickup. Every time I drove it I remembered the last time he drove it after I walked my dad and step mom to the car after my son's wedding. This was not a happy memory. You have happy memories with your Grandmother, so glad those can live on for you.

Good to see you feeling well. Clear the deck and enjoy life. With or without a gullwing you are going strong.

The part that sticks out to me the most is that he continued to idle it to an exit so his son could be safe and not on the side of the highway. That shows his real character prioritizing family over his most expensive asset. Plenty of rich snobs that wouldn't have done that, Hoovie is still that same hardworking guy he has always been.

Fortunately, it was made during an era when things were designed to be repaired instead of thrown away. The clean top end is a promising sign

That’s such a „watch this” moment. Jetta driver must have been impressed.

When I feel overwhelmed by the stresses of life I turn to this YouTube Channel and it puts things into perspective. You should be able to bill my health insurance for therapy.

Now, you know why most these cars are parked, and sitting in a collection somewhere. I really like how Hoovie is crazy enough to use it as a car and not for purely investment purposes.

I love that Dakota! My dad had a black 01 SLT Quad Cab that I've got fond memories of so seeing yours makes me smile. Good luck on the Gullwing!

"I was not doing anything wrong?! Just wanted to pass someone and floored it...?" Engine hasn't been rebuilt in over 50 years and it was already leaking all over the garage floor... Hmmmm??

You’ve had a whole lot happen in a very short period. I’m glad you sat back and reflected on your accomplishments. Love watching your channel. I’ve mentioned, in previous posts, that I get more excited when you have a new video than I do when a new episode of reacher or Tulsa king comes out. You’ve earned it, Tyler

I really like how candid you can be. Glad you got your body dialed in, you're taking this about as well as you can!

"I hope your rod bearings stay in one piece" Literally something I think about every time I drive. Thanks Hoov! ❤

It was awesome to see Little Hoovie hanging with Dad! (for those that remember that channel before it was renamed).
