On a side note, it's interesting to me that some of these cars were made pre-soviet collapse and some were made post.

What has the sovjet (russia) to do with german cars silas, maybe you ment the fall down of the berlin wall in 89?

Or maybe it's because we weren't born Into it with a dad that already had a wrecking yard But most times the people who are in charge are not smarter than the people who are pulling Parts.Most of the time they're stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime and that's what silas does

They made double windows in the s-class to reduce noise. That is the reason behind the double windows. If you had one to break, at least you still had the other window.

When my younger brother was in high school he had a beat up chevette. He took the housing with the pull rope from the top of a push mower and mounted it on his hood. He would have a friend get in the car. They had it all worked out that when my brother pulled on the rope his friend would start the car. He said they freaked a lot of people out and got lots of laughs. What fun!

@americanrambler4972 13 күн бұрын

The fastback 1980ish Oldsmobile Cutlass in the background is the car that got my attention. Simply because of its odd body style and that nobody hardly bought any of them when they were new. Then saw that mid 50’s Buick in the deep background. You’ve got a bunch of interesting cars there.

Howdy Silas! Nice video again. I learned to drive a Mercedes 300 TD in the early 90s. A nice car then, but now I wouldn't want it. What car did you guys learn to drive in? And the negative comments... oh well, ignore it. People always have to have something to complain about it seems sometimes. Who knows, maybe the car that got crushed yesterday will be your new refrigerator in a few months. Metal is recycled after all. I wish you a great week, and look forward to your next video. 🚙👍
