My Garage: Combination Of High Performance, Unique Colors, Transmissions and Purposes
In this video, I'll go through the residents of my mancave aka garage. Each of these cars represent a different era while achieving a different purpose. Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and Toyota 4Runner represent the 1990's. They're different cars for different purposes but have their rare manual transmission as common factor. 2008 Lexus IS-F represents Japanese version of a muscle car that wanted to answer its German competitors (E90 M3 and W204 C63 AMG) and did so while being a reliable well engineered car. 2023 BMW M3 and 2024 Audi RS3 are today's high performance cars that are the last strong ICE cars before Hybrids or EVs take over.

UNFORTUNATELY, I am selling my Japanese Muscle Car aka my 2008 Lexus IS-F
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 8 měsíci
After 9-months of owning my 2008 Lexus IS-F, I have decided to sell my Lexus IS-F on Bring A Trailer. I had intention of keeping this beautiful, well maintained and accident free car, however due to buying another blue car, I am selling the Ultrasonic Blue Mica IS-F.
2023 Ford Bronco Raptor: The Ultimate 4x4 SUV From A Venerable Brand
zhlédnutí 631Před 8 měsíci
In this video, I'll review my very own Ford Bronco Raptor. I waited for a long time (16 months) to get this bad ass SUV, and the wait was well worth it. It is by far the most offroad and Baja capable SUV that I've driven so far, and it has no competition since it's in a category of its own. However, it's still a very comfortable and practical SUV for everyday driving.
One Owner 1997 Toyota 4Runner 5-Speed Manual 4X4: I Am Selling this Rare Boxy SUV On Bring A Trailer
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 8 měsíci
I found another 3rd Generation Toyota 4Runner that comes with a rare option of 5-speed manual and 4x4. This one is even more rare than my previous 4Runner because it is owned by the same person from 11/1996 until last month when I bought it. It also comes with a clean CarFax report (no accidents) and has not been modified. I did spend a decent amount of money to make it look more presentable fo...

This 2008 Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG has the venerable M275 engine that pumps out 604hp and 738lbft tq. This engine was detuned because Mercedes reputation of luxury and performance would have been compromised. This car, although it's 15 years old, still has a lot of power that can...

Can’t go wrong with either, and TRX
@noodletitan9086 I agree. I'd get a '24 TRX since it's the last year of it (future classic), and a Raptor R is great to have too.
What happen to the update
Actually those 2 side vents do work with both heat and air if you know how to set them to work.
@tommyturner2196 that's interesting. I'll let the owner of it know. I thought they were for cosmetics.
dont forget the w208 clk55
@@hEXordo how could I forget that? I've always loved the W208 CLK55 AMGs...
Windshields are readily available for about 3 to 5 hundred bucks.
@@sjbonadonna good to know that they can still be sourced.
12:53 that's called the cupholder mod from 99 to 02 models.
There is no contest here
@@CZcamsuser1aa it depends. Some like the F150 Raptor and others Tundra TRD PRO

Where’s the modified BMW M4 hood scoop at???
Pls can you send me one Alpina b7 please I don't have a car and I like this alpine b7 please can you bcos I love I'm from Nigeria thank you
ditto I love black as well but the gunmetal grey is great for a change!
@frankwaynefrank4081 I see your point, but I don't personally like black
As I said 2011 isf 60,109ks.
@@frankwaynefrank4081 nice. I love that it's barely driven
gunmetal grey!
I love that subtle color.
I just love these! I have a 2011 ISF with 60,109 ks
That's awesome to have one with such low mileage/kilometers... What year and color is yours?
liked the video because: 1. Beautiful Car 2. Stevie was waiting and jamming on that radio =)
@errolrice9405 lol. I know brother. I miss that exhaust sound after 3800 rpms... Yes, great band and can't go wrong with them
You got rid of a gem for unreliable trash 🤦🏾♂️
@@carlbrooks90 thank you for your feedback.
What’s a good mileage to buy for this yr? I always wanted one.
@RickTv631 as with any European car, I'd definitely stick with lower mileage (under 80K). However, I would do a pre-purchase inspection and even get a good aftermarket or dealer certified warranty. Best wishes on your search for one of these!
Spins rears like it's on ice.❤🎉
How does the front end maintain any traction..
@1986Mr.Flores I really don't know but it was very planted and didn't notice anything out of ordinary with all of that power.
I have same 4Runner bought it new in ‘97. Won’t let it go. Only difference is mine has the rear elocker which is a rare.
WOW! That is a true unicorn and you are sitting on a gold mine since it's has the V6, 5sp, 4X4 and E-Locker. Keep driving that beauty as it will only increase in value. I would insure it with Hagerty at $25K or more.
Is this a good buy in 2024? If yes, what common issues should I look out for. Thanks
Hi, I think buying a low mileage example or one that has a warranty through an MB dealer is a good idea. They are considered solid engines, but cam adjusters and cam position sensors are some of the common issues with these.
I own a 2005 SLK55, a 2006 BMW Z4M roadster, and a 2009 Porsche Boxster S with PDK. What an era for roadsters! The SLK is the muscle car of the lot. All are different enough that they really don't overlap. The SLK and Z4M are really rare, but prices don't reflect that yet. I would say to buy the marque that appeals to you the most, you really can't go wrong. Enjoyed the video.
Man, that's awesome that you have all of those cars. I agree with you 100% that the era of putting V8s and V10s in the cars was probably one of the best. I think in 3-5 years, the prices of Z4M and SLK55 will increase as they definitely meet the requirements for rare, classic, and stylish cars. I own 8 cars, but my favorites are my '23 M3 6speed, '24 GR Corolla 6speed, and my '97 C36 AMG big turbo. I'm also looking for a 2001-2002 Z3M that has the S54 engine (same as your Z4M). I hope to snatch one soon because I really like those. Thank you for watching the video, btw, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 lol, You have me by 1 car. I also have a 68 Camaro convertible, a base 2004 Boxster manual, a 2011 Mustang GT convertible 6 speed Brembo brake car( 1 of 1according to the Marti report.), and a 2016 GLA45 AMG. If I had more space I'd buy a Z4M coupe and a2004 Boxster 550 Spyder. Happy collecting.
@nornibres lol. You have me beat by a BUNCH since you have a fine collection of performance/classic oriented cars. I have 3 2024 Siennas that I rent out on Turo, and they're great money makers but definitely not a cars & Coffee type of vehicle. I will get there one day, hahaha
I love the Boxster s from the same era, but I purchased an 07 SLK55 for one reason: no IMS
I agree with you. Plus your badboy sounds AMAZING with that NA V8.
THIS IS NOT A CL65, ITS A CL600!!! Front Bumper, Grille and tail pipes are not AMG! Seat pattern is incorrect, no chrome paddle shifters, no IWC clock, Wheels are not stock nor from this era CL, and most incorrect of all is the Engine... thats not an AMG engine u bozo. The speedo in the short 0-60 clip is not even from this generation CL. CL65's dont have V12 badges on the back, it has AMG... the gauge should be 200mph.... If you gonna review cars go do some research instead of sticking your finger up ur ass
Nice review bro
Thank you so much
Nice Review
Thank you.
good overall review, I have a Silver one, only thing you missed was rear seats, they fold down and up to give you soo much rear storage.. but nice job.
Thank you. Yes, I should have spent more time on the rear seats. Are there more silver or white Pajero Evos?
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 There are 2059 Automatics, of those, 62 in Red, 914 in white, 1082 in silver and unicorn in greyish.. Then in Manual ones, 634 were built, of those, 25 in Red, 314 in white and 295 in Silver, so slight more in silver were made than white, but not by much.
Do they come with A/C?
They did come with AC
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 Thank you
One great feature about the Tundra is it designed to run on 87 octane, you can use higher but there is no point. All the other performance trucks require high octane gas and that adds up over the life of the truck.
It’s a great car that’s the one I’d like to have but the v6 350 is still a good engine
The V6 is goof and has enough power but can't be comparable to this badboy.
I have a 2012 SLK350 with the 3.5L V6 and 302 HP. Love it!!
@@RustyCar that's a good amount of power for that small car. Keep enjoying it.
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 - Oh most definitely! Vroooom vrooom!
The roll bars don’t have plastic stitching, that is the parting line for the two cavities that mold the plastic cover for the roll bar. In any injection molded application, parting lines will be present, especially on a part that is hollow
I see. Actually, the more I think about it, you're absolutely correct. Thank you for letting me know.
I’ve the only Ultrasonic Blue one in Ireland, I love it, only four in the entire country. Road tax a year is 1800 euros, just to tax it, not insurance. I tax it for six months, 1003 euro, then it goes into the garage for the winter.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. That's really awesome to have the only one in your country. I feel bad that you have to pay a lot of taxes.
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 thanks, it’s not so bad, once it’s paid it’s paid. Sore at the start but, after that you get used to it. I love the car, everywhere you go there’s M3, M5, Porsche, Mercedes, never ever another ISF., great car, only thing I’ve ever changed was the boot (trunk) gas struts.
@@gary5717 I see. I totally understand. I have several perfomance cars but the IS-F was something else especially when the 2nd intake opened up after 3500rpm. They are definitely very reliable.
I live up here in Sacramento recently bought my friends 2013 ISF off him in ultrasonic blue I have the white leather seats, the mods on the car Hayward and Scott exhaust Apex intake tube,swift Springs I have 65,000 miles on the car
That is the ULTIMATE spec. What a beauty! I bet it sounds mean as heck too with the mods. I already miss mine. God bless!
This car has an 8 speed zf automatic transmission not a 7 speed dct
I see. You are 100% correct. I appreciate the correction.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 I have 2 Toyota trucks which I’ve owned for going on almost 20 years now. The first is a 1983 long box 4x4 manual hubs , with a 20r carbureted motor and 4spd manual . It’s in great shape , was restored right before I bought it and has been garage kept and driven every other weekend. Love it!!! My daily is indeed a Unicorn… a 2000 4 Runner SR5 , 5spd manual, 4x4 with heated leather seats and sunroof … It’s pretty near mint as well…. I am 45 and doubt I will ever need to buy any other vehicle ever again… Simple maintenance and treated with kindness has taken me a long long way. 😎
354 hp for the e55 not 349! 349 hp it is the e50!
Thank you for the correction as you are 100% correct Emmanuel.
I'm on my 6th TVR, a 2006 Tuscan Convertible 4ltr Speed6. Of all of the otthers, I miss my 4.2ltr Cerbera Speed8 the most. It was awesome. There are still quite a few TVR's in the US and Canada supported by the TVR Car Club North America.
Thanks for sharing. That's what the consensus is that Speed8 is a better engine choice to have. I didn't know that TVR Car Club NA existed.
This guy just misses the point, Merc SLK are mile munchers, good GT cruisers, a great badge to own. I suppose he hates all US cars not supplied with 6 speed manual.
I think you're missing the point. I do love my C36 AMG and my RS3 with auto. However, manual cars have a much better feel to them, especially in spirited driving.
What do you think of the 2024 Terra?
I am not a big fan of its color. Having said that, 5th gen T4R are very capable machines in the off-roading scene
The Cerbera and Tuscan are my favorite models. When I had my Lotus, I would have it serviced by TVR in Cullompton UK. Always enjoyed going there and seeing all the TVRs. They had a GT40 once that was in for a gearbox rebuild. It's such a shame they're gone....
Yes. I love those in addition to the Sagaris and Griffith. It must have been exciting seeing all of those cars, especially seeing the legendary GT40. I couldn't agree more with you on that and wish we could bring back some of those models.
Have the EXACT same Runner, minus the sidesteps. Original Owner. :) Epic Adventure Truck. Epic! - AB in Santa Barbara California and Sabah Borneo
Nice. The best and greatest generation of 4Runner to be ever made plus ours both have 5speed 4x4. Thanks for sharing!
I wish mercedes would bring back the SLK. The 2007 to 2012 were the best looking.
Yes. That would be great. Unfortunately, the era of the big V8s in small cars is long over. Sad times!
It’s so pretty… I couldn’t sell it lol
Thank you. It was definitely a hard decision to make.
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 was it worth it ?
Still can’t believe lexus created this
is part 2 out yet? thanks
The car's unfortunately still in the shop. When it's done, then I will do part 2
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 OK. Got it. Good luck and hope it's done soon. I assume the turbo install is complicated?
@yellowjoe.2000 thank you. I hope so too. It's quite complicated as you guessed.
@@radridesbyehsanshirazi8779 may I ask which standalone ECU you install?
@yellowjoe.2000 I believe it's Mega Squirt. However, the company that sold me the full turbo kit (Turbobandit) wasn't honest, and we had to do a lot of modifications.
Why does the raptor have less pulling power than the basic f-150? Because the basic f-150 can pull 14,000 lbs
Raptor is a performance based Baja truck with long travel suspension and bigger wheels that is different than the regular F150. This makes it not being able to tow as much.
Is the car sold already?
Yes. It was sold on Bring a Trailer 2 months ago
Widziałem kiedyś to auto w Polsce...
DOES THIS GUY LIVE IN A DEALERSHIP???????????????????
Lol. I don't but I'm a wholesale dealer.
The 5.7 is a proven million mile drivetrain! Talk to me when you get a million miles on your V6 turbo / hybrid which you won’t get close too btw ! No thanks I’ll stick with my 2021 Platinum CrewMax with all the luxury!
I absolutely agree that the 5.7 and 4.7 V8s are million mile powertrains. I'm glad that you have a solid truck. However, the tech, mpgs, interior... was way overdue for a change. The V6 TT had some issues at the beginning with its wastegates, but Toyota has worked out the bugs. Will it reach a million miles? I'm not certain, but we have to give it time.
Might have been better to back the truck on for less tongue weight. Also why the raptor if you have a Tundra?
I was told that Adam, but I'm not a professional hauler. However, I had the sales representative at Ford, who towed a lot double-check everything. It rode without any hiccup back to California. I wanted to experience both trucks. I made a comparison video as well. Thank you for your comment, and I apologize for the late reply.
Here's the comparison video: czcams.com/video/yP_vxPu9wyM/video.htmlsi=Xva-OIKosf5UpDcf
