I've given up Hoovie's Garage after my mechanic plans to move 700 miles away

I bought the cheapest Rolls-Royce in the USA, and it was not what I expected.

The McLaren GT was a major sales failure, and it's now depreciating rapidly!

I seriously regret burying my $100,000 BMW X6M for 2 years. Will it run again?

After a rough week of BAD mistakes, I had to fire sale my 1962 Corvette.

With Tesla prices crashing, I sold my Model S Plaid for a HUGE loss, and bought a real luxury car.

Never let your friends buy a cheap Audi R8, bottomless money pits

I bought an abandoned 100 year old Packard, and got it running again, BUT I COULD NOT STOP IT!

Buying the cheapest car at Barrett-Jackson is a fun game (if you know what you're doing)

I traded-in my Cadillac EldoRodo, and the dealer flipped it for $40,000 more. I feel so stupid!

I bought a Ram 2500 Cummins super cheap at auction because of so many illegal mods: BIG PURPLE TURBO

The HUGE MISTAKE I made on my $14,570 monthly Bugatti Veyron lease after 6 months of "ownership".

My mechanic charged $7500 after I stupidly told him to FIX EVERYTHING on my 320,000 Chevy Avalanche!

Half of my cars were sold after discovering my tax bill is way worse than I thought. I owe $500k...

I have to stop this before my hooptie house of cards comes tumbling down.

Parts were STOLEN off a cheap Chevrolet Avalanche Z71 that I bought at auction & I found the thief!

A careless person damaged my Bugatti Veyron, and I didn't want to tell you!

My "bargain" Audi R8 was dumped at auction because of a MAJOR $8000 problem (and multiple leaks)

Buying the "Iron Man" Audi R8 nearly 20 years later, for less than a new Toyota Camry!

Nobody wanted this RARE "Saab" Trailblazer SS, and I HATE MYSELF for buying it! ( Chevy 9-7x Aero)

Here's why the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is the DUMBEST electric vehicle ever made.

TEARING APART my cheap used Tesla Model S Plaid, and discovering that it's not safe to drive.

I bought a Tesla Model S Plaid for $100k off, and it's faster than my Bugatti Veyron???

I bought a RARE diesel BMW 335d, and it's mechanically totaled! Emissions parts cost $5000???

My Bugatti was part of a massive Ponzi scheme SCAM, and I found a serious design flaw.

The seller said this SUPER RARE Imperial Frank Sinatra edition "runs & drives great!" That was a LIE

YouTube forced me to buy too many hopeless project cars, and I'm in a DEEP HOLE.

FIXING my Bugatti Veyron with a $10 VW Jetta part (and a zip tie)

I bought an infamous V10 diesel SUV that you should NEVER EVER BUY! Harder to fix than my Bugatti?

Shippers did $1800 worth of damage to my cheap Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X! (I regret buying it)
