Yeah it is. Effspot did a shout out for my channel when my video helped him with hydraulic fluid and I got about 5k new subs that month.

Yeah, real shame he fell off though. He rarely ever comes onto my recommendations page, meaning I watch him less. But his S600 is mental!

@@therealrando not really. I talk to him all the time. His content was always focused on his video and photography of cars and car scenes. The s600 exhaust just happened to go viral but he had a big account before that so he needed to stick to what he knows

@@petescarport Not saying that I do not watch him at all, I just keep forgetting about him as he doesn't get recommended to me as often.

Tyler should just do 1 thing, put a custom exhaust on it

You are better with the 500. 😉

You seem to be a Hoovie copycat, judging by a quick glance at your videos. Best of luck with that.

@@procatprocat9647 Oh wow, his voice/intonations/word choices are a copy, and even his new house is a miniature copy. That is just... bizarre.

@@MikeLikesChannel 🤣 seriously? That's pathetic. I didn't bother clicking on any videos, just seeing a couple of thumbnails was enough. What a loser !

@@procatprocat9647 I just... by all means anyone can make a channel about their cars, no rules there -- but don't blatantly rip Hoovie or Doug DeMuro or some established creator off. Gotta make it original and unique. I review and do astronomy videos - one of my goals is not to be anyone else on YT already.

Double paned glass! And other tricks, I'm sure.

@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 I had an o6 xj jag years ago with double panel glass when someone called me on the phone they didn't believe I was driving and lying to them as they could not hear any other noise at all in fact it was so quiet you could hear the clock tick.

@@Sophiechic Knew a young man who bought one of these S classes used and his buddy would fall asleep in it whenever he rode in it. Nice to know Jaguar did it, too!

If you talk inside the car it actually sounds like you’re in an isolation chamber or something. It’s wild

Thats luxury

Urination Bob - you misspelled Urination Bob. Just a heads up.

I miss Tyler being able to say urination Bob. Come on Bob, sense of humour

@@ligmaballz1 theres a fly on my screen. Help.

not hard to find, and there is nothing existing as a mint s 600, the best gift you can give an enemy is one, as so unreliable...ive had 2 never again, and never again own a merc bmw or audi out of warranty

Wojak, Hoovie ended that joke last year

But it cost 12k Dollars,and it's made only in Japan.

it sounds brutal😂 sounds like you’re going million miles an hour when you’re driving normal speeds

it is just an open exhaust...

Watch the video until the end. 😉

It sounds lame when the car is driving slow

I don’t have a mechanic friend

I will take the SLS Mclaren. Don't think he has enough space for that

I want his bright red Cadillac CTS-V wagon.

Loool

I thought this would be legit street cars lmao

This car wasn't the least bit crusty lol

Bob gave him the car because he knows Hooves videos will pay for the repairs and restoration etc. Bob's videos wont. Then Tyler flips the car back to Bob some time down the track for a gift price and they're all happy.

Bobs asked for that nickname not to be used anymore, pretty disrespectful to keep using it if you don’t even know the dude.

@@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310 I'm sure he's crying about it right now in Kansas.

...where it's 'crusty'... 😏

100%. Buy the junkers, not the Lambos. No interest in Lambo problems.

Yes, more actual hoopties and less $300k vintage muscle cars please

Amen

Making bad decisions so we don't have to!

Wizard has discussed the challenges of filming in a shop, but it was worth it to him.

strange mention since his wedding ring disappeared in this video.

That is the sound of a very expensive starter. You can tell what level of car you're dealing with by that sound. NO American car of the era sounds even remotely like it up start up with their cheap as shit starters.

Disagree

Agree.

When the speed doesn't match the sound it's kind of silly. But it would be cool if the car had 800hp though.

That's not what an S-Class is about. If you want to swing your tiny dick around for attention, I suppose you can slap a loud exhaust on an S-Class. But, this is a car about luxury and silence with get-up-and-go.

@@PuerRidcully I don't think that's the point of what effspot did. He wanted a fun car that could still stay at safe speeds. Yeah, you could probably get big power out of the 6.0L V12's from these cars, but it's better to just let the car be reliable and still fast (and loud) enough to have fun, but not fast enough to put himself or others around him in danger by hitting on it. Besides, these cars are so absurdly heavy it's not exactly a great chassis to tune for speed anyways

Ayn stories to tell on the 600s you worked on, and what did the bills run in 2023 $$$$?

@@jpkatz1435 my experience was years ago, parts cost and availability these days are a different animal all together. They are stoutly built and most were used as executive cars, so low revs, and smooth usage. They weren't Hoovied much. Brakes and Suspension were the biggest issues that was encountered as they are heavy beasts. Also they would carbon up and have idle issues from puttering in town about versus spirited driving. Coil packs would crap out, especially when it was a humid day and the hairline cracks would arch against the intake. Leaks were more common on lower mileage cars as the seals would dry up some. Changing the trans fluid usually requires a pan replacement as they would warp and leak over time. Window regulators would have issues from the weight of the double pane windows fairly cheap fix, motors held up just the regulator itself would cause problems. They are lovely to drive, like surfing a wave of endless torque versus the on off punch of most cars.

Yep I was about to say he needs to put the 5 spoke AMG rims on it

sweet! I bought a SL600 outside of Detroit like 5 years ago. Such a hidden gem !

Van gough will make this car look like it has half the miles

Love how he optimistically says "minor issues" when the hydraulic suspension is rooted. That's probably going to cost thousands upon thousands to repair properly given the age of the car, it'll mean replacing dozens of seals that will all be perished by now, possibly causing distribution blocks that could take many hours to diagnose and repair - even Mercedes master techs often struggle to get them working properly again. Then there are the V12 oil leaks... nightmare... Good content though so he'll probably do fine out of it regardless.

Why did you stop watching him

@@denitipuric1130 Just too many new cars and the projects kind of slowed to a boring pace.

@@StefanD67not wrong this channel is hard to watch lately

Of course the cool thing about the power rear view mirror was that it was tied to the key fob, so my key fob set the seats and ALL of the mirrors to my settings, while my second key fob did the same for the other driver.

I had the suspension go out on my S600 about 20 years ago and it was $3500 for just the rear shocks to get replaced at a non M-B garage. I don't miss the $200 (back then) oil changes either.

He's well aware of the pitfalls. This isn't his first rodeo.

@@Hotlog69 Oh I am aware. I was just pointing out how quick these cars can be effectively " totaled"

@@turnne That's not shied away Hoovie before.

Probably enough to put a downpayment on a summer house. The hydraulic suspension fix could cost as much as the car.

Agree, Pat. In case you don't see my comment, I bought Bob's dream pair new in 1992 and have owned most of the great luxury and sport cars - this is by far, hands down, the best car ever made.

It doesn't

@@LaidBackDeveloper Yes it does need the $12,000 Sasaki exhaust.

It does.

@@vincedibona4687nt

Needs a bod with a welding kit and a bit of nonce about them. So not you then .

I'm guessing the bill from the Wizard will be in the 10K-15K to cover everything they find wrong. Belt service, air suspension, electronics for starters.

@@danm3359 at least.

I have the same car as you and i spend 14000 euro in more than 1 year

As much as I miss my '92 (bought new) for sentimental reasons, I kind of knew that this would be the case.

Nothing like the W140 leather/ leaky evaporator smell! MB tech since 2000. I still own a 1999 S320.

@@mbjasondify that dash 😵‍💫 🤦. Never again!

ha what you think the sticker is on that ?

Uh.. ok…

W140s were the peak of MB in my opinion. I own a 1987 W126 420SEL and a 1992 W140 300SE and the W140, although it feels less 'traditional', is soooo much better built! They feel night and day when I drive them back to back, the doors on the W140 are like a bank vault in comparison...

He had a few sl600s

That is my favorite Mercedes Ever, then it is the SLR McLaren right after.

@@CB12345 can't forget the CLK DTM.

Eh, I want a blacked out 91 560sec,4 doors are ok for hoors but I like the 2 door for style

@@MrTheHillfolk I agree

Other way around. The Zonda has a Mercedes engine.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH 😂

why would you want to have anything to do with it, i'm happy someone likes it but i wouldnt touch one with a 10ft pole

Be glad you didn’t!

haha 🤣

Yeah, it's the side mouldings and lights design the main exterior difference to tell a first restyle from the original model. The early 91-93 are the best for me because of many details that were then lost for costs saving. Specially the 91 has some exclusive details that the rest lack. The big problem with the early versions was the biodegradable wiring.

Text⬆️I've something special for you

Super fun to drive!

So Bert Crysler is now in the car business.
