I am so grateful for your well wishes!
This was the craziest Hurricane I've lived through, but we made it out amazing all things considered. We had non stop pouring rain for what felt like the entire day and I've never seen water this high in our area ever! The cars were at one of the highest points of the property so Milton didn't stand a chance. We have a lot of uprooted trees some light damage to the house but nothing flooded, nothing catastrophic! Again thank you so much for all the messages. I wish the best to everyone else in Florida.
Give me a few days to clean up then I gotta finish my manual swap 😁

My Friend OJ Uncovered that this "Mint" Z06 Corvette I Bought is a Fake: https://youtu.be/1Hfmmf0NvNw?si=k0lka...
This Z06 Corvette had a PERFECT Auction Grade along with an Auction Guarantee. When I sent a Transporter to pick it up, the dealer said it no longer would drive because "The Transporter Burned out the Clutch while Jump Starting it." 😵😐 I got very suspicious so I had it towed to Fluid Motor Union, and wait until you see what they found. Check out their video 👆👆👆. And when I questioned the auction about it, they started backing off the guarantee. It's a mess!

The DMV Confiscated the Title of Sage's Corvette: https://youtu.be/BAMSZE4sCk0
There were a few questions in about the last video and what I meant by "title washed."
This Corvette is a 1998 model year, sometime between 98-2000 it was totaled by an insurance company. We're not sure how or why, as there's no obvious out of the ordinary body or frame damage.
When we were sold the car we were told the title was clean, and the title we received WAS clean! After Sage got it running (the first time) and while it was being painted he went to register it at the DMV. They went through all the motions and came back telling him that the title he brought had a discrepancy and that it was a prior salvage prior to when the title was last issued (which was around 2000). They took the title he brought!!! Then issued him a salvage certificate 😪
They will NOT register the car until we can get a record from over 20 years ago as to how the car was totaled!
There might be a few workarounds but is this thing really worth it? Let us know in the comments 👇

Everyone told me these will make the Turbo Kit Porsche feel Like New (New Video): https://youtu.be/ch_qaIKnngk?si=168xR...
I feel real bad that someone spent $12,000 for the turbo kit in this car as it's plagued with issues. In our latest video we try and solve these issues with a few parts off Amazon and a bit of Shadetree Ingenuity.
This car currently is riding on its original shocks and lowering springs that have over 100k miles and it feels like riding in a wooden buggy. So I took your advice and got some of these slick Bilstein Coilovers. I've had a set of these on an old a Audi and they ride really nice, and handle amazing with a ton of adjustability.
Up next we'll finish up this Porsche and in the meantime save an old relic from across the pond. Swipe 👉 for a lil sneak and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

A lot of you have asked me what's happened to the V12 Ferrari 599 Project: https://youtu.be/-YpV_9tR-pQ?si=guz8Z...
Well, it's cost a small fortune to track down parts that are no longer made, a squirrel got into the engine bay and ate a few wires, and now it won't start.
I'm probably losing a few hundred dollars every hour but the major savior of this project is @Vtuned
Hit the link ☝️ and check out his latest video on it. Once we get it running it's a paint job away from being done, but who knows how much more that will cost 💸💸💸

This Cheap Junk Corvette Showed Up in Nearly New Condition with just 4,500 Miles: https://youtu.be/uoSIcb1zY-o
ICYMI, I bought a Dead Flood Totaled C4 Corvette that ended up being a near Mint 4,500 Mile Car (video link 👆).
I've received a lot of backlash about the idea of parting it due to its Junk Title Status. I sincerely would like to see the car be owned, and used, but this is a very tricky topic because of the laws regarding this. Currently, I have offered everyone who emailed me the opportunity to buy it (with a few restrictions).
The best solution would be to export it, as the rules seem to be substantially more flexible outside of the US when it comes to these situations. If you're wondering why a near mint car like this is issued a junk title, here's my best way at explaining:
During any major natural disaster, like our recent hurricanes, if anyone in a general vicinity of these storms calls up and says that flood water got into their car, they are pretty much guaranteed a total loss by insurance. First off, it's impossible for the insurance staff to put hands on every single car that is called in during one of these major storms, second off they are under a lot of pressure from “higher beings” to “protect the consumer.” Because of this, you will see most big insurance companies blanket total EVERY car with a “Junk Certificate.” Which designates the car to be used for parts only. You will even see extremely expensive exotic cars with these titles. Even though it would warrant the insurance company more money at auction to put a Salvage Title on a car like my C4 Corvette, they just don’t do it because of the reasons already stated. In some rare occasions, like with small insurance companies, they will treat every case as an individual and issue “Salvage Titles” instead (My Aston Martin DBS was part of the big storm, and was issued a Salvage Title by a very small specialty insurance provider).

Did you guys see the Fire Totaled Ferrari Rebuild: https://youtu.be/IOFivQSzeiI
If you haven't, hit the link 👆 to see the entire restoration from beginning to end.
And get this! The previous owner of this car JUST Emailed me, and gave the entire story. The crazy thing is, the Fuel Pump that caught fire was apparently NOT the original... The story is pretty crazy, and the owner sent me 8 boxes of accessories that he had for this Ferrari. I'll be making a follow up video shortly, in the meantime, let me know your thoughts on the rebuild in the comments 👇
