  • During ‪@HooviesGarage‬ Christmas Special I was busy buying my own Christmas present... this 1997 Chevy Corvette completely setup to offroad from ‪@scraplifegarage‬. After I got it home I let everyone else play with it and two days later she no longer moved. We thought it just needed a clutch, then I thought it might have broken the diff... so we're going to tear the car apart and figure out what went wrong. It won't be going back together though, the comments hated this car so much I decided to part it out.

      I've had videos on channels where I saw the description and was like "I'm going to wait for the next one". that's acceptable I'm sure. I don't know if I've done that with JR though, even the truck ones that have zero appeal to me I watch just to see things get fixed. that all said, what JR wants to buy and drive is his business. I don't understand why people are mad about this Corvette, it was obviously a wrecked car. it won't be a whole Corvette again. the buggy thing kind of amuses me. I wasn't aware these eat differentials.

    While I disagree with the choice to chop a Vette up like this, you have a great channel, JR! I’ve watched you for a long time. It’s a simple logic: if you don’t like a video, don’t watch it, and come back for the next one. You don’t need to bring down the channel by giving out negativity.

    • @makpsv
      @makpsv Před 6 měsíci +7

      It's a wrecked Corvette, the chassis is bent, the rear was probably destroyed.

      Same. If I really don't like a vehicle. I skip the video. Rarely I do. Most off-road chopped up cars I don't care for. Not gonna say mean stuff.
      I only really hated the Audi R8 Because you could tell it was hindering his performance. Because it was a waste of time going back and forth with the computers. So that's a rare case of trying to help him and tell him to get rid of a project.
      Usually when it's Audi or BMW stuff. I tune out. Nightmares
      And I'd like him to switch to more mopar's. Can be old stuff. I don't respect Ford after around 1997/2002.
      Mustang is the only actual last Ford vehicle. And supposedly they are getting rid of that too.
      I'd also welcome Toyota content regular Toyota's and trucks and maybe even modified Priuses for mpg.

    Wow, I love that you read the comments here JR, really makes you one of the cooler YTer's because not only do you read them, you act if you think it makes sense. On this one, I wish for a different fate for that cool Corvette. Yes, I know, it's a garage hog, and without body panels, even harder to keep clean/drivable, and of course it's not road worthy. Still, I loved seeing you whip around on those dirt hills and roads with it. The tires looked cool and ridiculous at the same time. Oh well, it had a good to great run, first as one of the coolest sports cars and then as one of the coolest off road sports cars! Haha. On to the next build/rebuild/repair!!

    I know it's too late but I would have loved to see this as a ute, like a Holden. Imagine building a truck bed and attaching it so that it looks original to the car

    I find it hard to believe with all the runs you made to Mexico you never found an offroad place to run that beast. .......

    That was one rad Dakar off road vette. It would of been awesome if it had a dually rear end.

    Although it’s only plastic, at least it’s a work bench.

    I wouldn’t unsubscribe over this vette but I definitely would skip the videos and wait for another vehicle video.
