I am the same way so I understand. There is always someone more deserving. Don’t take it personal. ❤️
You are Awesome Alex, Merry Christmas.
A car is a commitment. Maintenance, insurance, registration, taxes, parking.... You should know, there's nothing more expensive than a cheap/free car.
Maybe he was thinking of someone else in need.
Because the guy thought it was an Impreza, and said: “Hell no! I ain’t no lezzie??!!” No? 🤷♂️
Linc's pride is amazing. Take a last go at him and if he keeps refusing the car, offer him to give it to someone of his choice that will need and use it. A guy like him that worked his way up, has troubles to take hand-out. Let's respect that and adjust it to his liking. We all love what you do, so don't change and keep up the good work!
I think this is the best way to go. You can tell he just doesn’t feel like he can accept it. Just goes to show his character!
Poor link, he’s not used to getting anything even though he’s done so much for others. He definitely deserves it. Great video!!!
You heard the stories from his friends and they picked the perfect person deserving of this car. It's not often you meet someone so humbled and proud that they would say please give it to someone else who needs it more. The problem is now I want him to really have it after his short time on camera. Link please take the car as your daily and put away your SVX! I'd be willing to donate funds if he needs a place to garage his beautiful machine.
May have picked the perfect person deserving of the car but did they pick the perfect car for the person? He thinks an SVX suits himself, how does the family wagon Outback fit with that style? How many enthusiast would drive something they didn't think suited them? "Hey my mom chose my car for me". For an enthusiast, choosing a car is not choosing to wear the sweater your mom sent you.
@@DiscoFang I didn't want a 06 Dodge Charger RT but my Neon finally died and I needed a different car that was reliable to drive. Lil sister made a deal on the RT she's had since new with 90k on it. Couldn't pase it up for 3k so now I drive one and I love the power. He probably is too proud to take it and doesn't want it to get destroyed in his parking lot. I would tell him he can put sweat equity in and earn the car for himself providing he's good with the deal.
Exactly the kind of incredible person this is. Anyone would take a free car all day every day. This guy is like, there are people more in need. This was like christmis special extra plus. Unreal
@@69Dartman Case in point. You were offered it, you said “yes, thanks.” He was offered it, he said “no, thanks.” He didn’t seem to think the Outback was anything special. Where does pride come into it?
@@DiscoFang Maybe he just doesn't think he wants anyone to think he needs that kind of help,
maybe he just isn't that excited about the car. It didn't seem he was a hard no, he just wasn't ready to say yes till he thought about it. Every one has their reasons and we'll just see how this plays out.
I don't really have room for another car or a great place to keep it safe here, plus everything else that goes with having it.
It sounds to me like he should take it. I understand how guys like that are. they are good at giving help, not good at taking help.
maybe he doesn't want the higher insurance payment. Maybe he doesn't have a place to park it, Maybe he doesn't want to drive an outback... I dunno.
That'd be me. He's probably kicking himself right now but still hopeful someone else deserving will enjoy it
I totally respect linc’s decision on refusing the car, he did the right thing and I hope someone else in even more need of a car gets this car.
Link is a stand up guy! Anyone rockin’ the 2-tone Ska life is 1st rate! Thank you Alex for your dedication and generosity. I’m sure you and link will work together to make this an even better gift to someone in need!
He’s a proud guy! Feels like he don’t deserve it! Makes him feel uncomfortable That people would do this for him! This is the true mark of a humble and selfless guy!
Alex: “I had to replace a $1 o-ring on this Mercedes… it took 50 hours of labor.”
Linc: “That makes sense.”
Very good advice! Alex ya get an "A" for effort!
I could tell he was embarrassed. He was probably fighting back tears inside.
He’s definitely an old school prideful guy. *But he DEFINITELY appreciated the gesture Alex!💪🏾😇*
i totaly agree he was trying not to cry, he's a got a big heart thats for sure
Or maybe he didn't want the burden of having a broken car and all the fees that come with it
Awsome job. I thought he was just camera shy. But I’m understanding the man is so genuine he’s willing to pay it forward? Wow what a guy. He deserves a blessing himself.
Super humble guy, I respect him.
Still deserves the car, let some time pass and it will all work out
Selfless giving is a real thing, my dad used to say if you give and expect something back then you've only made a deposit. I think Link is a guy who gives because its the right thing to do, he was not expecting anything in return.
It’s pretty amazing to see such a humble guy like Link. Nice to know there’s good people out there like that.
you have to convince him to take it. not only is he deserving, but like you said, he can keep it on the road opposed to another person or family who may not have the know how or funds for repairs.
That was awkward. That was generous on your part though.
Yeah I cant even lie, that turned out super awkward. Linc wasnt even remotely interested and even looked mildly annoyed.
It easy rude, that's what it was.
I think he kind of does his own thing and loves his SVX, and was only saying it’d be a decent daily to be nice to Alex. But takes no interest in it
Lol. Funny how turning down something you don't want makes you the bad guy. People are weird.
You just learned a valuable lesson. Everyone not standing around with their hands out. Some have trouble trusting strangers . It fall back in what he’s been through during his life.
I think it’s an excellent idea for him to come help you finish the car.
It's clear he's overwhelmed - I also might have thought Alex was trying to sell me the car before realizing it was a gift. Either way a 2nd car is a lot to think about, especially since he already has his baby. Every dollar that goes into keeping the Outback insured, registered and maintained is a dollar that he could put into his SVX or a living situation with a garage for his cars. There's also just something great about dailying your favorite car - at the end of the day what's more important, actually enjoying the things in life you work hard for while you're young and have your health, or preserving a car?
These are the videos I love. It's not rehearsed or overly dramatic. It's awkward and genuine. People all have their own situations and reasons. You can tell he's a man of his words and not just someone who plays along to make good TV
I would love to have that Subaru, but technically I'm not really in need. Got too many cars.
What a absolute honest guy. And a lovely Subaru community !
Thank you Alex for all you do, congratulations on being full time CZcams! You've really worked super hard and earned it, Merry Christmas to you and yours! May the next year bring you all the joy you can handle! Keep the great videos coming!
This
If Link really doesn't want it, let him decide who gets it.
Nah. Some kid fresh of of Wyotech who needs a leg up and can learn from the car.
If a subaru club member doesnt wanted you know its fucked and should get parted out
@@Chris-hw4mq wrong its a good car with alot replaced. He didn't want it because it was free and on camera. I'd love it and drive it forever.
@@Chris-hw4mq take a look at 16:45. It's a flood car.
@@timewa851 that’s not necessarily true, some of my cars have developed that over the years it’s just a result of bringing salt into the cabin from your shoes for many years
Merry Christmas Alex. Thank you for all you do.
Alex, You are nothing short of a wonderful person! It appears you ran into another wonderful person. I am sure the two of you will find a way to make that car mean something good that will be far more than a Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone!
Running one expensive to maintain Subaru is more than enough for anyone's budget. He was smart to decline another in order to remain solvent.
This can turn out the best giveaway - letting Link decide who gets it will give the car a deserving home and Link the gift of giving which he truly deserves!
Merry Christmas to you too Alex, you sir are one of those salt of the earth type people, you just make things better.
All the best to you for a happy and prosperous new year
If someone offered me this car, I would hug them, and thank them. Then after receiving it, if I wanted, I'd find someone worthy to take it for free. I always thought it rude to refuse a gift. Pride can be a terrible thing at times. Find someone else who not only needs it but, appreciates a very kind gesture.
if he is someone known at the community then people would expect him to keep and show the car and guy probably have other things to pay and he calculated that inside his head
It's rude to assume someone needs to be gifted anything, and then put them on the spot for a reaction.
I’ll get in touch with you 😱 …don’t think the Link is feeling it!
Very cool story that you found someone so humble that he thinks there's a better candidate for a free car. I can tell he's a great guy.
I do admit that I'm confused by the comments around these cars being finicky. I have the 2005 3.0 H6 (same color) with over 140,000 miles and I rarely need to do anything other than normal maintenance. I know turbos by nature have about 100,000 miles of life before they need to be replaced (mine is NA), but aside from that and a front suspension bushing, I don't know of anything problematic in these cars. I'd be interested to hear what others were saying about it.
"Exfoliating" the headlights?? 🤣🤣 Anyway, thanks for being a great guy, Alex, with giving back the way you do. It makes watching your channel that much better. Merry Christmas! 🎅🎅
Definitely a Chicago thing, long islander here and I have heard this term from family members from the Chicago area lol
You have great intentions, and it is a little strange and somewhat disappointing when a worthy person rejects the gift. Anyway, keep up the great content and I hope you guys figure out a nice home for the Subaru.
"You have to have five owners" to afford the upkeep.
A ringing rndorsements.
Subaru enthusiasts, by default, can all be defined as "in need." 🤣
lol y u no like subrrraru?
@@useless3596, I had a new '13 Outback that drank oil like a highschool freshman at a kegger. That thing burned through enough oil in the sump on a 180 mile highway drive to trigger the low oil light. Fool me once and all that. 😅
@@mphilleo it was NEW? Good grief...
@@benzlover55, yep, a brand new lease. This would've been included in that class action suit/recall/extended warranty Subaru had to comply with. The dealer would monitor oil consumption and if you met criteria, you got a new short block. I called the purchasing dealer from out of town, and they said it was probably a faulty oil light and keep driving. I topped it off at a gas station, but my trust was gone.
After awhile, I got oil-related range anxiety and the above option didn't exist yet, so I turned in the lease early and took a bit of a bath. In retrospect, I'd have done things differently.
Lol
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!!!
He didn't say no, he really appreciates the thought but wants to put his spin on it. Having him come in and help work on the car is probably what was meant to happen. I believe you indirectly gave Linc something worth more than a car, and that is the possibility of working on the Subaru(s) in a dry and warm place with all the tools he needs at his disposal.
To some people having a dry and warm place to work on their car(s) is like paradise on earth.
😅 When even someone who loves Subarus run away from them when they can.. 😅
$ 1500 a year not bad especially when you have a good mechanic like I do Who I trust who probably would do it for less. Honest garages are becoming a Rare thing.
I believe, Lincoln loves the idea of finding a new owner other than him, don't feel bad about. Alex you're doing great, Merry Christmas to and everyone out there.
I can appreciate that you want to give it away to someone who really needs it. Some of us are so busy, working 50-60-70-80 hours a week that we don’t have time to go to car clubs. Some of us have had so many hundreds of thousands of medical bills that we have had to sell our project vehicles we’ve worked so hard on just so that our family can eat next month. Maybe, there’s someone deserving like the one you gave the Lexus to.
I THINK HE WANTED TO SAY YES,BUT HE THOUGHT OF ALL THE EXPENSES THAT COME WITH OWNING 2VEHICLES.Keep up the great work ALEX and stay safe brother.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.🎄🎄🎄⛄⛄⛄
Especially Subaru's...2 headaches instead of 1...he's had bad luck with them. Maybe he's thinking Honda or something not another pain in d ass
U a big man wit a big heart thanks bruv for the entertainment and doing amazing work!
I’ll take it!! My 93 needs some serious shit done, would be nice to have a car that has the shit gone through and wasn’t sitting in a field somewhere for 200 bucks, that’s been my daily for 6 months now🤷🏻♂️
I have exactly the same car and same color. 2005 Outback XT Limited 5EAT with 177,000 miles. I bought it used at 95,000 miles and had to replace the turbo. Other than wear and tear items, it has been pretty reliable although not as reliable as my Hondas and Toyotas. I had to replace 5 bent valves a year ago because timing belt broke at about 65,000 miles. I pulled the engine out and other than the 5 valves, everything else was fine. Hopefully I can get another 100k miles out of it. Good luck to the next owner. Merry Christmas, Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone.
If you ever need to toss out another Subaru, shoot me a message. I'd never refuse to take it in and give it a good home, lol.
What's so special about them?
Home for Subaru: Junk yard. Lol. Jk
Wow. The lol is a big red flag
@@webfreakz boxer engines hard to fix lol
Alex, thank you for being humble and hard working with a huge heart. While your channel is great, please, please, take care of your family first. You obviously have been blessed with a passion and gifts but remember our passions can also be our downfalls if not kept in check. A very Merry Christmas to you, your family, viewers and associates.
He bought his wife an Escalade last year
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 I don't think that's what he means
Hey Alex...geez man Link was so overwhelmed by this. Thats really humble. I think you handled it well and hope you get the desired outcome in time...
This might be my favorite giveaway because you gave it to someone with so much Christmas spirit that he wanted to pay it forward to another enthusiast.
aww man it was a good idea but you guys will find another person who really needs it, your heart was in the right place mate full respect, keep up the good work
I understand and honor his pride. I sure hope Link sees how much effort his friends and you've made to get this car to him. His beautiful and super rare SVX does not deserve a winter in Chicago.
Pride = ego same thing
He ain't prideful lol. I wouldn't want that pos either.
You and Jason did a great job in a short period of time detailing that Subaru. I will definitely check out the products and pay the detail shop a visit next time I'm in Chicago. Would be cool to see you and Link and maybe some others from the local car putting the Outback back together and maybe donating it to another enthusiast of his choice.
I respect the guy for not excepting it. Who needs to take on a money pit like this and then have to pretend to be grateful.
Well you did mean well. Like I said the needy person would just put in gas and oil til it stopped. It would end up in the impound and then the boneyard.
Cars can make the Needy, even poorer. This car Would give them a headache.👍
Yayyy!! Merry Christmas LSC family!!
Giving a car to someone in need or is simply deserving of being rewarded for their generosity is a super nice gesture. But a car is also an expense for the recipient between registration, any state/local taxes, insurance, and ongoing routine maintenance. Not to mention ongoing repairs on a car that's known to require some TLC. So I can understand why Linc may have had several reasons for not wanting to accept it. Either way, your generosity (along with the other companies and folks who donated parts and/or their time) is awesome and I'm sure you'll find someone who is a good fit for the car in the end.
24 years with two different SVX's and neither has burned to the ground. Yet.
Just my experience.
Love where your heart is my friend, always enjoy your work.
You are welcome to come to Scotland and refresh my Outback. Strange reaction to turn down a free car. Happy Christmas and thanks for all the work making videos for us to enjoy.
Anyone buying a car with a turbo, needs to follow the maintenance recommendations religiously or face the consequences.
Give the car to someone who would actually be grateful. Don't understand most of the comments on here I really hope you can find someone more deserving.
Alex what a heart warming video during the holidays. I love Chicago and miss it. Yes it gets cold but the people are amazing. I got to live in Barrington and Aurora and dine with gregarious Palistani cab drivers downtown, and eat some amazing food!!!
❤️🎄❤️
Give Link a detail kit and give the vehicle to that family after all! Giving is better than receiving and Lincoln has that charitable heart too.
subaru says that 90% of their cars are still on the road.Probably parked and with for sale signs
Yeah I know thats one of their sayings, but I have a really hard time believing that.
That wasn’t pride, that’s someone who was about to go buy a Toyota or Honda. Lol 😂
Just kidding but you could tell he did not know what to think.
🤣
lol i was thinking the same...he's had bad luck with Subie's
People who do not exhibit any sign of greed are just so awe inspiring. Realizing that everyone else feels that you deserve something is testament to your good acts. I am sure no matter the outcome it will be good.
Looks like he lives about a mile from your house. How convenient. Merry Christmas.
There's always a first time for everything. What a great guy. He's right that he doesn't need the car, since he has one already, but hopefully you two can figure something out.
Wow, that thing looks amazing. I might actually have to pick up a few of those products too, my Subaru has the tan leather, not black, so the kids got it all dirty, and the side of the driver's seat is blue from blue jeans. And of course the Saturn could use a little spruce up.
And Link seems like quite the solid good guy. I don't blame him for being a bit shy on the camera with the big surprise. I'm sure he's worked for everything ever in his life, and he's seeing what looks like a brand new car when it's really "saved from the crusher" and still not fixed.
Thanks for trying to give it away. Second month on a brand new Subaru Ascent and my sister had to have a brand new transmission. I think Subaru's may be overly mechanically complicated like Volvo's are with their electrical systems. Too many things going on at once, some of them will break over time. Or a lot of them.
Not complicated at all. Just poorly and cheaply engineered.
At least volvos wont rust in to the ground in a 5 to 10 years period of usage on salty roads 🤣🤣
Guess I lucked out. My 2013 Outback has never been in the shop, only thing I've had to replace is the battery.
Find a 2500 silverado without the HD badge and the vortec 6.0 gas engine in it they are awesome
Well, I didn't see that coming. At first, I thought that he thought you were trying to pressure him into purchasing the vehicle. Kind of uncomfortable.
You have to understand that this is a man who has if ever not been given anything and doesn't know how to take. And allow someone to just give a man who bad luck is his only luck "on video" non the less is difficult.
First of all, Merry Christmas Alex to you and your family!
Second of all, your buddy from Chicago Auto Pros did a bang up job with that detail, that thing looks almost new again
And as far as Linc, he seemed to have that look on his face like that line from the old Cosby/Noah routine: "Am I on Candid Camera?" 😅
It's Xmas day, so Xmas things with people you love
This stuff can wait till tomorrow 😁
Enjoy your day
Some people don't like being the center of attention regardless if it's receiving a well deserved gift, it's all good he'll come around 💙
Under an hour and under 600 views?! It is a Christmas miracle!
Merry Christmas, Alex!
Hey Alex, Merry Christmas to you & your family!! 🎄🤶⛄
I've done some research and can make that car last ( hint : has to do with oil )
I'm a fan, & gypsy that lives in my RV in the southern Arizona desert in winter and tent camp in the summer.
If I had a little more ground clearance I could get to some great spots.
I was disabled by an , uninsured,drunk driver and live off a small insurance check each month, watching your show has inspired me more than once to repair my rides.
No worries if ya don't but that outback sure would make me happy.
If Link doesn’t decide to take it, I will gladly take it, as I am a Subaru enthusiast that knows how to work on this model Outback, the reason I would gladly take it is to give it to my mom, as her previous car had engine failure. Right now she has to rely on me to take her to and from work, and run other errands. Please consider my mom.
Thank you.
i puffed ur comment 😁
Love this channel: Thanks Alex.
Jason’s knows he’s stuff, and you are good man, keep up your great community work🇳🇿
Way cool Alex. I’m sure he’ll take the car maybe, or you’ll find the right person. Been watching your channel growing since about 5K subs, and because your heart for car culture and people is unsurpassed, it’s been fun seeing the channel explode man. Merry Christmas and Happy 2022!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Alex . Your doing a great job really
Enjoying each video . Hug the family. Best wishes buddy
there he is!
Boy did this get really weird really fast. And I feel really bad for Alex. He really put himself out there for the guy. The least Lincoln should of said is thank you. But lets find another person. This was not just a generous offer. It was a major act of 'good faith', sweat equity, including time/materials/money Alex could have spent elsewhere. Alex, your really a equal parts generous as well as decent guy all around. A thank yu was in order here.
Well, lets be honest here Alex is a great guy but he is also benefiting financially from the video and channel growth. Its not always easy for people who are down on their luck to take freebies. Especially not in public. Especially not a male infront of a bunch of his peers. People want to be treated as equals. I guarentee if you had a race for the prize -and he won- he would of been over the moon excited. I know this isn't your fault. It's just human psychology.
@@SalTarvitz
i think its more of expectation of keeping and paying for a car he didn't choose himself 😁
you making it seem like alex did this specifically for the guy, like he asked for it. you dont put a man on the spot for something like this. you ask him behind closed doors, let him know whats up. THEN you record for the sake of the reactions. its nice what alex has done, but the man needs to learn nuance. now link has people like you here on youtube judging him simply because he didnt give you guys the reaction you was looking for, tarnishing his character. if anything id say this was down right scummy of alex to upload. but hey, this is CZcams right? gotta have that drama!
Had a Legacy 3.0rn for five years. All it needed was servicing and Tyres. Most reliable car I've ever had.
Some Subaru’s look so nice yet so unreliable like this one. I personally will never touch one due to notorious head gasket issues but my hats off to those who maintain these beasts 👍🏼
98-01 had gasket issues and not the turbo models stop pretending to know what you're talking about
Merry Christmas to you and your family Alex!!
You and Linc are both good guys. It will all work out!
Alex, you are a class act. I think most youtubers would have put a negative spin on it to add some drama and load up on the comments and visits. I do hope he relents and accepts it, and I would like to see the two of you work together to sort out the remainder of the mechanical issues on the car. It seems an ideal car for him, and he an ideal owner for a car with reliability issues such as this one. I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion of this story.
Wow yeah super humble guy. I think he's just blown away... Try and get him working on it with you, maybe he will form an attachment.. If not, maybe ask him who he thinks should really get the car? Maybe he has a family member that needs it? That way he can always help them if something breaks?
Merry Christmas Alex 🎄🎁
Wow I’m impressed with Link. Solid character
I have to stop at 30:00 to say this - hey Linc - please accept this gift. Between watching you in the video and hearing everyone's opinions of you, you definitely deserve this. It's a nice gift, but one that comes with a little responsibility as well - but we're all sure you're up to taking decent care of this thing while also getting good use out of it. I'm sure you're going to watch this, and I hope you see this comment, but please accept the gift everyone around you feels you deserve. Yes, it's a whole car, but it's only a cheap used car - but one that keeps a very nice other car out of the midwest winter slop. For the rest of us enthusiasts out here that want to see it happen, please accept the gift.
And to all involved and watching/reading, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
That man is blessed. He has what he needs and doesn’t want more. That’s a respectable response imo.
Great thing you do helping others.
Merry Christmas Alex
I had an ‘09 Legacy Sport Special Edition in that color (essentially the same car as this in sedan form). It was my first new car, and there’s still a large part of me that misses that car to this day.
I wouldn't mind showing up to Link's next monthly meet.. my Subaru is 82 KID. Where is it?
Alex + Family will have a great day as good Karma is on the Way to your doorstep today! Merry Christmas Good Givers!
Merry Christmas!
