    Screw what everyone else says, and just do you. What would be cool is if you could sell those cars online, and let us by them from you. My Mom had that exact Chevy Citation, and I would actually buy it off of you just for the memories. In the end, all that matters is what you think about it all. Love your show. ❤️

      Hey Randy, I love your channel! Don’t allow what people say to control what you do! Just do what you do! Don’t let it stop you from giving your cars too needy Appreciative people! I figured you must have things going on behind the scenes with monkey wrench. Mike for all he’s done! But on the surface all people see On your channel is what he’s doing for you, and not all of what you’re doing for him!

      You could sell car like the Citatiom Matket Place. I know blah blah about Matket Place but in places like my neck of the woods where car lots are 70 to a 100 miles away that's how we buy cheep cars some one might need it for work

    This Citation puts a huge smile on my face. The memories I have of this car. Randy, if I didn't live all the way in Michigan, I would love to buy it, but I know there's no way I could bring it out here. Just keep it. It's has no cash value, but the memories and nostalgia is worth more than any dollar amount. You never respond to my comments, but I hope you read this. Keep it man. Hold on to it.

    Randy those are your friends. I don’t see why you have to explain your relationship to people. What you are doing is called friendship. You can’t buy friends. Your friends hag around not for what you can give them, it the quality time off camera they all enjoy the best. So keep doing what y’all are doing putting out enjoyable content.

  • @amadeo_serrano
    @amadeo_serrano Před rokem +2

    To those who feel Randy should give you a car like the Aston Martin, here's an idea. He will give you the $24k car BUT you have to give him something of equal value. It doesn't matter what so long as the appraised value is equal to the value of the car to be given. A speed boat, an RV, a summer cottage or high-value box seats to a sporting event. So long as it has the SAME value as the car, otherwise, check your entitlement and appreciate him for his content, NOT as a one-man Salvation Army.

  • @SethDunn
    @SethDunn Před rokem

    Randy, first of all I wanted to say that I appreciate your channel and the love that you have with these older cars. You mentioned how attached you are to your cars and not wanting to let them go. I have to say I felt that on a personal level.
    I’ve got a 1992 Chevrolet K3500 that I’ve had for about 5 years now. I kinda fell into the deal because I wanted a truck but really haven’t had (nor do I still have) a reason to have a 1-ton truck. I just drove it the other day after it sat for almost 6 months and it still puts a smile on my face. My new “truck” that I bought last year is more economical and makes more sense, but theres something about a 30 year old truck that feels different (better?).
    I’m at the point now that i’m having to make the difficult decision to send it down the road because all it does is sit. I love the old truck but it’s not fair to let it rot either. The thing is so rare because i’m the second owner of it and it only has 72,000 miles on it. Mechanically, she runs good, not perfect as you would say because it’s 30 years old. But cosmetically she needs help. The paint is original and the clear coat is all but gone. I just started to notice bare metal in a few spots. She’s got a little bit of rust as well but for s PA truck that i’m sure has not been a “garage queen” (at least since I’ve had it), I really can’t complain about it. Also it’s rare in that it has the 454 engine and a manual transmission. I hate to let it go but don’t want to see it live the rest of its life rotting away. Rather see it go to a good home and get used.
    Love the channel Randy and look for ward to that is in store for your channel.

    That’s the problem with social media in my eyes is it’s normally what people don’t see is what they seem the need to comment on, I’m sure if Mike and Santa (mike and mike seemed weird lol) thought they were getting a raw deal they wouldn’t help or work with you. As for the citation, I am jealous of you. My dad had one for years and I’ve looked a bit but where I am I believe they are just gone.

    @edwinaponte7295 Před rokem +2

    28 years ago I had a 1984 chevy citation with a busted thermostat and no power steering when you turn left but power steering when you turn right. Great car it took me from point A to point B then to point C. I had two radios in the car when my dad brought it for $200. The other radio was in the glove compartment crazy right. So we donated that car to the local school and it was a $500 tax write-off if you're thinking of getting rid of the vehicle. Just a idea.

    @Leon-uj7pc Před rokem

    I am glad to see the Citation getting some love. I think this Citation and the Ford Tempo are my favorite cars on your channel. Perhaps it is nostalgia as growing up in the 1980's and 1990's, these cars were everywhere (I have a friend that is a retired cop and he told me the calls he hated the most were ones where the suspect car was a Ford Tempo as the area was thick with them). Perhaps it is because these were pretty much point A to point B cars that did not get much love. I will say the only real thing i hated was the radio location in these cars. the irony is that in 1985 the interior was redesigned and the radio move to a new place in the dash where it was facing the correct way only to have GM discontinue the car at the end of the 1985 model year
    I am happy it was saved from the scrap yard.

    500 is a steal for the car you so much and you are so under apreciated much respect and for power tour the Vette or the Caddy Allia.

    I worked at a GM dealer in a small town from 80 to 90. As service manager, I was allowed to drive a used vehicle. My go to was an 81 Citation V6. Great car in the Western NY weather. Just wish I could find something like it for a new driver in my family.

    I was just born in November of 84. That was definitely a good year and I remember when all you saw in the 90s was those cars
