After 25 years as a news anchor, I'm switching gears and becoming the next UA-cam sensation! Okay, that's an overstatement, but I am focusing on my UA-cam channel showing viewers the "funner" side of automobiles. I'm going to buy, fix, improve and probably destroy a few cars.
My main interest is Mercedes and European autos, but I'll be sure to throw in some good ole American vehicles, too. I'd really appreciate your subscription and watching a few vids. You never know what's going to happen in my videos!
Together we'll get through engine repair, changing transmissions, repairing suspensions (hydraulic and air), painting body panels, and interior improvements. Be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you like and don't like. Be sure to make suggestions as to what vehicles you'd like to see me working on!

i own a 2006 VW Beetle 5 spd manual, love my little bug .
The most timeless design Lexus has ever produced
Looks old and rough.
Regarding the mileage you can try this it worked for me, if you buy a new cluster, remove the back and take off the first circuit board behind the cover when you open it up, then do the same with your original cluster circuit board and swap them over, that has all the info and data of your car stored on it so everything should transfer over
Awesome
Over 55k subscribers! Congratulations!!! Great video.
hey mike, you know where i can pick up a 76 drop top caddy for cheap? LOL willing to bet that wear on the seat is from where they wore their concealed carry
Have you realized Mercedes older car or a piece of junk they always give you a lot of problems engine problems that’s why people get rid of them because they don’t last over 100 hundred thousand is what I see on the Internet with the people that buy these Mercedes they all have problems
I got the same helmet, but grey
Mike, that'll buff out.
Mike, I'm a Lexus guy (LS400), but for some reason, I want to try a Mercedes. Call me whacky. Can you make a recommendation to get started? $5-10K range.....
Love that Miata convertible in front of that Benz
The smart is cool and actually has some get up and go
Mike we need to see that duck alittle more on your videos, believe it or not but I’d bet you’d double your subscribers if you do that!
If ya like Swedish please find a Saab!!!! I know GM ruined the brand but still I love them!!!!!
Yes Buy it
I have an 2001 SLK 320. It sat in my friends back yard for a few years and I am trying to restore it on my fixed income. My question is, I've been trying to figure out how to remove the old gas. I was wondering would siffling the old gas out from the opening where the gas sending unit is placed be a worthwhile idea. As well as following your advice about cleaning the unit. The cost of a new unit as of yesterday was $420.00. Any good sound advice would very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Do the new engine with Randy at his shop!
I have a Toyota Avalon that just turned over 325,000 miles the motor just now blew up now I'm getting ready to put a new motor in it it's only going to have 70,000 on it that they are really good for mines are 05
Most Toyotas seem to have the chip paint problem.
Stolen Hyundai....for sure.
Maybe take a chance not sure
Congratulations 👏🎉🎉🎉🎉 Mikey on 55k
Thanks!!
I agree with the earlier comment. Toyotas are common to running for many miles like over 300,000. They offer very reasonable rates for servicing or replacing parts. That are not your typical domestic vehicle. But I do know do your research. The one thing you can’t change is it’s older and features may look and feel dated.
Fabulous cars. How much?
My 06 sl65 was in the shop literally all the time .. when the battery is low it turns off all the " convince features "
I bought a New 06 sl65 in December of 05 .. my favorite car of all time.. a few years later, I went through a mid-life crisis and traded it in on a 911 turbo.. it wasn't half the car that my SL was..
Ur not dumb. We all have put an antenna in a gas tank because we ran out of gas.
You would be a great GAME SHOW host. "What's the first item up for inspection...A Little RED Lexus." I got kinda excited to see what it was like.
I always wanted to be the next Regis Philbin… lol
I love them all and you wear them very well. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮you are royalty and don't let anyone say different. You are so sexy and beautiful. I have to watch again because I was focused on you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love these old Lexus vehicles. Reliable through the roof, powerful, and luxurious to my liking. I wanted heated and ventilated seats and my first search was for an LS430. When I realized I couldn't afford one, I looked for an ES350. They were all ridiculously high mileage so that leaves me confident that if I ever do buy one, it will last me a long time.
Decent whips. Give the interior a dry ice bath
Hey Mike have not seen Benzo the wonder Duck is he with us? Mike you have some video of you at work show us mike the star.
I got lots of complaints about his quacking so I put him in his crate when I film
The 3.5 in the Avalon/Camry/Etc is fantastic.
In the North America ( USA & Canada ) Avalon is " Top of the line " of Toyota unlike in Japan or Asia region you will find Toyota " Crown " or " Corona " series etc ....
These cars run forever and are actually very luxurious in XLS / limited / touring trim
Avalon looks searched, like the cops searched it
I'd be all over that Avalon in a heartbeat. Grandparents had a 2005, so pre refresh, and they loved it.
We know is a Skyrim reference I think which is a video game.
Wow, never knew you were a news anchor! That is really cool, no wonder you’re so good on camera!
Aww thanks!
Randy introduced him to auto auctions
Great car but if the tranny is gone nah
You should buy Randy’s Volvo man he’s lucky 🍀 lately find one like that mike
It looks cool 😎
High heels???
My cousin has 1 just like it.. probably a 2008-2012 im not sure but its blue
Do the silver 2019 Hyundai Elantra
Thats the low end cheap Passat! RUN!
I agree Mike, that interior damage is gross cigarette damage all day
I know I drive a BMW and we are a bit more picky when taking care of our cars. With that said, how in the world can someone let a Lexus get in that shape?!? I bet the insurance company totaled it as soon as they opened the doors! WOW
Hey Mike! Thank you for another awesome video!!!!!
