Quick note: Sandro *does not* need to introduce himself anymore. This is _his channel_ (and Angelina's). Justin and Jer are just guests.

sandro is the peoples mechanic. all the homies love him

I like how Sandro said "they'll run dry" when talking about civics. I had a extreme oil leak that caused my civic to run out of oil when driving to work and I was able to still drive it home and a year later the car still runs.

"I don't like watercars... I don't like boats" legendary

Daniel & Justin : *in depth analysis and explanation* Sandro & Jerry : *shxtting and giggling around*

The way the Top Gear chaps explained it is that the Veyron and Chiron tires can handle top speed for like 15 minutes before needing replacement. But that doesn't really mater since you'll have guzzled down a full tank of gas in 10. And your brain will have melted at that speed in less than 5.

7:00 Supercars are effectively like aircraft and the parts are made like aircraft parts and the maintenance is like aircraft maintenance. This is all expensive because the components are engineered within an inch of their life, like aircraft parts made of aluminum and notoriously prone to fatigue failure under normal loads for excess time.

"F-150 all day because after that you can go to work" And this is why Sandro owns this channel lmao

So I googled why the Bugatti oil change is so expensive. Apparently there's 16 oil plugs and you have to intricately remove parts of the underbody to reach them and its a dry sump system which basically means multiple pumps and a large reservoir. Plus multiple coolers.

More Michael please, the guy is super intresting. Another great addition to the lineup!

Sandro is and always will be an absolute delight.

Fun fact. Bugatti uses the same air filter in the Veyron and the Porsche 928. They just use 2 of them. For a 928 the filters are $50, for a Veyron, over $400 each. OEM numbers are your friend when maintaining expensive cars.

Another thing about the Dubai cars, sometimes they aren’t actually abandoned. They just had a sand storm and they parked for pickup later, instead of driving them and destroying the intakes.

Priceless "Because after that you can go to work" That was great xD

All guys are great in this channel but the chemistry of Jer and Sandro together is really so good!

Jer: *Rich guy* I am rich. I piss gold. I am a golden goose Sandro: Here's a little cup sir. 😂😂😂 This is why we love Sandro!

My favorite part about Sandro is you could tell at first he didn't wanna say the wrong thing when he first showed up, now he is cracking jokes like he is in his own shop. We are simple people we see Sandro we click

non-car person here... LOVED this video... loved the breakdown of WHY people spin out in super cars.. now I'm off to regurgitate this information to someone as though i already knew this. excuse me.

5:16 apparently the reason why Bugatti oil changes are so damn expensive is because there are about 13 oil drain plugs hidden throughout the engine bay of the car. You need to completely disassemble the rear end of the car just to drain all the oil out, then you need to replace the oil filter (which I’m sure was developed exclusively for this car, which is more money), then you need to reassemble the rear end of the car refill the oil before you can even get going again

At 17:17 you can see the breaks glowing red hot. Hand break is still up. That's why he cooked the clutch also.

The reason that nobody takes these cars that are abandoned in Dubai is because they have a very strong anti-theft law. The cars, even if they're abandoned, still belong to someone and stealing them with the intention of even restoring them can result in amputation of hand.

“Buy old Toyotas.” Wise words my friend.

Where’s the “I see Sandro I click” comment with 5K likes this time? It’s in there somewhere 😂

Sandro is the homie! His attitude is contagious!!

$8k for tires… ehh but $25k for an oil change is nuts!

19:18 "after that you can go to work" 😂😂 underrated joke and VERY true

I literally know nothing about cars but I got into Donut because of this channel. It's interesting and entertaining hearing people talk about things they're into.

16:48 hahahaha THIS GUYS JOKES always hits man, Sandro stay awesome bro. hahaha

Fun fact: with a full tank and brand new tires, you'll only get 10 minutes at top speed. While the tank drains to empty in 13, the tires only last 10 minutes before becoming fully worn out and dangerous. the Bugatti oil change is partially that high due to it taking 2 days to do, requires a partial engine drop, and mechanic having to reach something like 20 drain plugs. the tires are bespoke Michelin tires designed to keep grip and not explode at speed, you're paying for the R&D and being the only tires for the car. the rims share a lot of DNA with F1 rims, which only last a single race before having to be scrapped and remade. the brakes are bespoke as well, and made of a lot of exotic materials. Basically, Bugatti's are designed to be looked at, maybe taken to its limits once and then put away, more than actually daily driven.

omg, Sandro's comment about Jeremiah @12:20 made me spit my coffee on my monitor...

10:35 reminds me of driving my 94 honda accord with no motor oil, transmission oil, and coolant, and it stayed like that for a month. Fr was the best saving😂😂

Sandro: “The F100.” Exactly. Given the prices of upkeep on those cars, I’d take the one that you can use anytime.

Sandro needs his own channel guys, I desperately want to know what content he’d produce. That dude is the embodiment of real auto men.

Really liked Michael's input. It's funny (and usually appropriate) to point fingers at large corporations and laugh about their greediness, but it's also neat to be reminded of the very real technical reasons behind certain compromises. Like the bit about the McLaren engine placement for example. Obviously there's a financial incentive to making it difficult to work on, but the architecture of a midship supercar also just makes it inherently difficult, as you'd have to compromise on cooling, weight distribution, drag etc. if you wanted to make it more accessible.

"Let's send you to the, give us more mo ey department " lmao the best line I've heard about these cars

McLaren : We don't want you to service your own car Tavarish: Hold my beer.

Justin's Advice is gold "Buy old Toyotas" 😂

Sandro asking for a cup had me laughing.

"2 grand a tire. That seems alright." ..."Is that alright, man?" LOL 😂😂😂😂😂

Worked on an older rolls. The power steering pump was the same one they use on a 70s El Camino

If I'm ever in LA I'm going to Miranda's just to see Sandro.

Great combination. Sandro goes without explaining and big fan of Michael - great interesting analysis of the situation.

Please bring Michael back. I could listen to him talk about this stuff all day.

Sandro would look great in the role of Count Dracula with those canine teeth.

Sandro should have his own channel. A day in a life of sandro

“I piss gold! I’m the GOLDEN GOOSE!!” -Jerry

That's exactly what so many people don't understand about owning cars like this-- you don't just stop paying big money at purchase, you're going to be spending it the entire time you own it for upkeep and almost none of it can be diy unless you have a full garage with lifts and hoists and even then you probably aren't going to have access to the maintenance procedures and software you'd need.

You guys are making me glad I drive a Honda that probably can't go over 120. Full synthetic oil change:

Watching this just made me realize: supercars are built and maintained like airplanes. It's more about the preventative maintenance. We've all seen videos of wheels flying off at freeway speeds. Imagine a composite wheel disintegrating at 4x freeway speeds. The loss of control comes after the wave of shrapnel.

I hope you guys gave Sandro a raise cuz 90 % of us just watch for him and you might as well throw Angelina a bump in pay too 😂

This video is very nice, please bring in more of these. Love them!

Jay Leno used to say of his McClaren (an F1, back in the day): If my Corvette breaks, I can fix it with a hammer (which was not really true, but hey - funny guy). If this thing breaks, I gotta send it to a doctor in England.

The reason there are so many abandoned expensive things (not just cars, yatchts and luxury apartments are also very common) are abandoned in Dubai is because going into extreme debt is considered theft and what they call "aggravated theft" (We in the West call it grand larceny) is a death penalty crime punishable by firing squad. Fun fact, this also extends to the abandoned property of debtors as it is still considered owned by them even if they couldn't afford to take it with them into exile. So attempting to repo those abandoned cars would be considered "aggravated theft" (grand larceny) and get you put in front of a firing squad. The UAE is a massive human rights violation.

what tavarish is doing with the mclaren is INSANE and i highly recommend everyone checks it out if they haven’t already. in one of his videos, im pretty sure he says that the most difficult part of this rebuild thus far was getting the sand out bc that shit got EVERYWHERE. like they had the car down to the frame and sand was still falling out. i also really love the series because there’s not many other ways to see what goes into a car rebuild

Amazing episode !! All 4 were just perfect !!

Wind the clock back. My great uncle used to work in the petrol industry in the 60s,70s. Coming from a UK Motorbike family he used to pick up old BSAs Triumphs and Harleys for free, ditched all over the middle east because the locals found it cheaper to dump them. He would ship them back to the Uk and fix them up for pennies. They all still run today.

The Rock is the people’s champion and Sandro’s the People’s mechanic

You can tell this is right in Michael's wheelhouse. That dude had so much information. Love it

Test driving supercars... I took my 16 year old son to Italy back in 2007. We spent a few nights in Florence and for one of those days we took a day trip north to Maranello (train from Florence to Modena, bus from Modena to Maranello). The long straight portion of the Ferrari factory test track was next to the highway, and we spent some time watching through the fence... every few minutes a new Ferrari would emerge, wind around the turns and then roar down the straightaway. All I could think was "who has that as a JOB??" Luckiest bastard in town. (Although we crossed paths with some of the factory workers as they were leaving at the end of the day, and they seemed like a very happy bunch also.)

$2k a tire, that seems alright....Sandro: " Is that alright???? " 😂

That 488 clip at @12 minutes brought me back to my childhood, and I I could hear was “learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to….”. My buddy had just gotten a Camaro with some extras that was way too much car for him. Took it out with my buddy right after he bought it and got into a sick fishtail that ended in the car wrapped around a tree. All either of the could remember (thank god either of them could remember anything) was that Tool’s Aenima was playing and the fishtails were in sync to the chorus.

I've always liked Sandro, and now my guy has a Mastershake pin on his hat??? I think we just became best buds

I learn a lot from this channel about cars. I appreciate this because I do need to know about this

I think the fact tavarish is posting a lot of the rebuild process might aid in its higher resale value. Sure the damage was significant, but the worst part with rebuilt titles is the purchaser doesn’t know the history/how it was repaired. The p1 rebuild process has been great to see, we wouldn’t have any idea what the p1 had in common with other models/build structure etc. I think he’s rebuilding it right.

Morning drag race after a wild Sunday night, some coffee and a nice cruise to work after you show this city slicker a what for. Sandro is laying down FACTS. EDIT; 'old ford, old ford, old ford'

I was wondering about that Countach; Would they know about Dubai's... Yep, Sandro knew! That dude knows EVERYTHING!

I work at an auto parts counter. I see so many guys who can finally afford something fancier than a six-year-old Camry who come in for parts only to find that, despite getting a killer deal on a CTS, or a 328i, or any elderly Jaguar; the economy ended at the purchase. I have a regular customer who got a BMW 3 for about the same price as a similarly aged Civic. The infernal HID bulbs for the headlights are about $150 each, which is about ten times the price of headlights for a Civic. The PCM crapped out about two weeks after he got the car. A salvage replacement wasn't outrageously expensive, but he ended up having to tow it about eighty miles to the nearest BMW dealership to convince the new PCM that it wasn't stolen. The dealership did not do the job for free. If you can afford a fancy car, you'd better be able to afford a fancy repair. It's the way the world works. I love my old Dodge.

11:58 you know what the fun part is, that is a test drive lisence plate

13:29 "free ride to the curb" haha hits home with a slide i did in my truck this winter, punched it too hard round a corner, let off and was just along for the ride.

11:58 those green plates are dealer plates, odds are pretty good thats not even their car

6:06 we do have a 300mph street car. That car is the Badd GT :)

“Oh, Im Sorry, Lemme Send You To The Oh, You Give Us More Money Department” 😭💀

Thursdays are Real Mechanic Thursdays

That’s great to see into the world of expensive cars with Daniel. Great info!

Most Gallardos were delivered with the E-Gear transmission, which is basically an electrically actuated manual. If you use the like a normal autobox while maneuvering, they'll burn up the clutch. I've also seen that with early dry clutch DCTs.

so funny watching them talk about the service costs to be able to go 220 mph yet there are like 100 old dudes in vettes hitting that in the 1 mile. I think the fastest right now is 238 in the 1 mile.

Love these videos especially when Sandro is here 🎉

I love this new guy, all facts and stuff to back it up.

Oof.. that Ferrari at 11:56.. Bro was testdriving so he hasn't even bought the car yet. You break it you buy it 😂 Green plates in The Netherlands -> dealer/trader's plates

as someone from dubai i can tell you that it is true that some people abandoned their cars to escape the debt payment this is certainly not one of them, this car is parked in front of i would say most probably a salvage yard or a scrap shop as you can see a Rolls-Royce in the back also collecting dust so my guess either a shell or it cant pass safety regulations for some reason. and for the abandoned cars the are usually towed to an impound then after a certain amount of time (3 months i guess) of no one claiming them they are sold off in an auction

I always click on a new Real Mechanic Stuff video, thanks for making this other channel, it's so enjoyable!

I heard the Bugatti wheel replacement with maintenance is because the tires have to be "glued" on the rim otherwise the rims would rotate inside the tire.

My favorite part about doing Mccleran oil changes is keeping more bolts that I started with.

Funny thing about the crashed Ferrari, that's a green Dutch test drive plate. So that guy just got into a car he can't handle and crashed the dealer's car

5:08 That's a bunch a cool civics ... one of the truest truths 😆

8:45 Tavarish: And I took that personally

I can’t drive, but I watch this for the quality content and Sandro. Great entertainment

If only people who really cared about their cars could own these pieces of art 😭

14:11 Tavarish bought that car and is doing a series on rebuilding it.

Tires are shoes. Wheels are feet. Control arms are leg and arm bones. Axles are muscles. Intake air filter is nose hair. Cabin air filter is snot.

I watched top gear once and Jeremy brought up the fuel consumption on those. I hadn’t even thought about that before but he said it was going through the whole tank in like 2 mins or something crazy. lol.

That guy Michael had some really good knowledge about this stuff. I learned a lot. Props

I see SANDRO I CLICK 👍

11:52 It's important to note that this is the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, which is the offroading variant. A normal Lamborghini would probably get totaled by a jump like that.

That Rover clinate control reminds me of selling an old Rover 45 that was too rusty to keep. They were built when BMW owned Rover and shared the same stereo as BMW models of the same years. Once you figured out how to remove the rover decal that stereo was worth more on ebay than the rest of the car was in scrap!

Bet Miranda is holding the camera in one of these

Can confirm on Dubai, people can get loans based on their salary (which tends to be a LOT higher than your respective home country) and they will simply take out the loans. When it comes time (fired, moving, or deportation), they'll just leave it all behind and never come back.. simply a "hey here are the keys, gotta split!" to the bank.

So for educational purposes: I have little to know knowledge about cars. I can drive them but everytime I watch your videos I can really say that I learned something.

[16:25] Aaah!

Did I really get here 14 seconds after posting 😳
