If you believe in the sort of thing, it starting right up is kind of a sign. Your grandma gave her blessing. Those of us that have watched you over the years know how much this car means to you. It's heartwarming to see you finally driving it again. Happy for you Hoovie!

Tyler letting April drive his pride and joy shows how much he loves her

Nothing better than a story from the heart. Tyler, never sell yourself short. You're an authentic and genuine enthusiast, and April knows what she has. You guys deserve to be happy.

Hoovie: "She's a dirty dirty girl with lots of power" April: "are you talking about me again" Me: 😳 😅

There are those of us that have been waiting for this moment. It's time for life... Gma Hoovie would be proud. (They never leave us.)

Thanks for sharing your Grandma's Car with us Hoovie.

April looks good in that car, fits her quite well.

We weren’t watching another Hoovie car KZfaq video. We just watched a true love story. You’re a good girl April - Tyler really loves you. He let you drive Grandma’s Mercedes. You’re the one. So happy for you guys.

An extra thumbs up for Grandma 👍

I’ve never clicked on a video so quickly before, Hoovies’s 500sl was my inspiration to get a 1987 560sl as my first car, and I even converted it to have the euro spec bumpers and headlights! Thank you for finally talking about this car!

You can tell Tyler really loved his grandma... The video at the end made me lose it. So sad for your loss. I know it's been a few years now. I'm glad to see you are beginning to accept it. Memories are the greatest things we have. Great video! Hello to everyone!!!

I was a Grandma's boy too. Brought back all the memories. Thanks for sharing.

Long time watcher of Hoovies garage here. It’s incredibly heartening to see you take the Benz out again, and that you have April there to share these new experiences with. Really happy for you, Tyler; your happiness is well deserved.

This one hit hard, I lost my grandmother last year at 99 1/2 years old. She was an incredible mentor and inspiration in my life.

This might be the best video on this channel thus far. Wholesome and so glad you can use it again. Your Grandma seemed awesome

April, the level of respect you show this car, Tyler’s grandma, and his emotional connection to this car, makes to the most beautiful person in Tyler’s life, since his grandma, and I would say well earned respect in return.

Hoovie, This is awesome……..anyone who’s watched you for any length of time, knows your deep deep deep, feelings for this car. And for you to let April drive it, is truly a great step forward for you, and I’m sure your grandma is shining and smiling down on you both.

So glad that you decided to dedicate an entire video to your 500 SL. A truly special vehicle and touching story. Never sell it!

I was teary eyed this whole video. Lost my cheerleader in 2019. Thanks Hoovie

From another Grandmothers Boy to you Hoovie, that was very touching and can easily bring on the tears....I get it entirely. Glad you ended the video with your Grandmother on board . I remember that video well .

Brings back memories. My grandfather helped me buy my first car. A 1969 buick wildcat convertible. Just seeing you take your grandma out for rides is so commendable. I wish more people didn't ignore their grandma and grandpa when they're in care homes. Hopefully we all make and have good memories from our grandparents.

And now just like Memphis Raines in Gone in 60 seconds you will be a connoisseur driving the classic Mercedes rather than a self indulgent weenie with the new cars. In all seriousness I love hearing the stories of you and your Grandmother. I lost my Mom in 2021 on Mother's Day and she was my biggest cheerleader and loved driving in my cars to go shopping. Especially in my 1985 Porsche 928. To this day I still have her listed on my PCA membership. I can't wait to see the videos of you and April getting the Mercedes detailed, new tires installed and the Wizard doing a complete service.

Hoovie, I totally understand how you feel. My granny passed in 06 and I still think about her and miss her every day!

The end . . . thanks for sharing your Grandma with us. Seriously. Great video on a super car. But Grandma is making me tear up a bit. Love you guys!!

This beautiful car your grandma gifted you is the reason i started watching your channel. Your grandma would be proud of your success.

My dad fixed Mercedeses all his lifeHe passed away nine years ago. Our relationship was rocky but I miss him. I have most of his tools and manuals. Bought my first Mercedes 13 years ago just to annoy him, because he hated them.

She literally reminds me of my grandma, we lost her at 94 two years ago, I do believe that she was the sweetest and coolest grandma there is, the same as yours to you

I didn't expect to get so emotional watching a youtube video but here we are. Awesome to see the 500sl back the road again. It deserves to be driven. I'm sure your grandma is looking down smiling.

What gorgeous SL. Those older SL will always be more elegant than current models

Tyler, I hope you realise how lucky you are with April. I wish you the best and long life with her, never take her for granted. She is a great gift from the universe

So today is my 69th birthday. Tyty...BUT you just couldn't leave my day alone. The beautiful closing of your grandmother and you had my grown ass in tears. Ty for sharing. (I mean you have me fked up) Honestly ty

Tyler plays April like a priceless violin. Sharing his grandmother's and his first car with her...masterful. Take notes, gents!

I get it Tyler. I got a cup from my grandmother. I just started using it after all these years since she passed. I was, am, and always be a proud grandma's boy. May your car and my cup last as long as their memories.

This had me sobbing. Tears of joy and of sadness. I lost my mom 10 years ago and our bond was like you and your grandma's. When you lose the most important woman in your life, you view women and relationships differently. You seek a woman to not only be a romantic interest, but also to replace your lost loved one in a weird sort of way that's almost impossible to explain or understand unless you know. Hoovie, you found the one. She's very hard to find, but you pulled it off.

Love it Tyler! We still keep my grandpa’s Volvo 760Turbo he bought new in 1984. He passed away 1 year before your grandma at 96 yrs of age. He’s the one who got me interested in cars in the first place. We have a picture of me sitting on the hood of his Volvo 164 when I was like 2 yrs old and one with me behind the wheel by myself with the BIGGEST smile there is. Whenever I bought a new car, close to thirty ex now, one of the first drives was always a 1,5 hr drive to my grandpa to take him out for a spin in my new toy and we have an awesome picture from his last year with me in my 964 cabriolet. The drive was epic and of course I floored it in the first two gears with grandpa holding on to his sixpence😊❤

Ive seen this car since 2019.. i love that tyler keeps it. It reminds me why in fell in love with hoovies garage. From hoovies garage 1.0 to 3.0.. i love the journey tyler has undergone. And to be sincere, i hope to continue see hoovie for many and i mean many years on my screen!

Longtime subscriber here. I’m so glad to see the old SL out. Wishing you and April all the best. Glad to see you so happy and living the dream!

What a treasure! The car is beautiful, of course, but the relationship/memories with your Grandma are the real treasure. I think probably very few of us really have such a gift, and I'm glad that you are finally getting to a place in your life/psyche, that you can simply remember and appreciate those, with gratitude, rather than focus on the loss. Having April appreciate it as well, just doubles the blessing. Be well, Tyler.

I must say it again. Hoovie has made a significant upgrade

I was keeping it together really well as I knew what this car means to you as I have followed the channel for quite some time. I was even smiling and seeing you towards the end saying that April should drive it really made me smile. Then at the very end the room all of a sudden got really misty.. . . . I miss my Grandma so much. . . . Thank you Tyler for just being you. . .

That SL is such a special car. On its own, it is a wonderful car from the golden age of Mercedes (in my opinion). This one has such a special story and memories tied to it. Never let go of it, take care of the car, and drive it more. It is what your grandmother would have wanted, for you to enjoy the car and be happy. And it was so sweet of you to let April drive it. This was a very special video.

Loved this video. I also adored my grandmother and when my family went to Florida when I was 15, I stayed with my grandmother and drove her from CA to OK with my learners permit in her old 58 Buick roadmaster coupe. She died when I was 18, and in the Army. I got married three years later, and it was my mom who told me that I married a girl like my grandmother. You know what? I did. We are still together 51 years later, and I she still reminds me of my grandma. Nothing wrong with that, Tyler, nothing at all. It is about the personality and core of the woman. Best of luck to you.

Hoovie you're one of the most down to earth and sweet people on youtube, never quit! You too April, never quit!

What a great video! It’s obvious how great of a person your grandmother was, and how great of a person April is! When April said she was honored to be compared to your grandmother, that’s how you know you’ve got the right one. How blessed are you!!!

I knew a family growing up who would go to Germany for “vacation,” buy their new Mercedes, drive it around and then bring it back as a “used” car. Saved tons of money and taxes.

I’ve watched since almost the beginning with this car in the background and this story is something special. Tyler’s grandmother was a legend. I look forward to seeing it in the background for years to come. Thanks for sharing Tyler

The last two minutes… best video you’ve ever showed! Much happiness to you and April.

This 100% PROVES how much Tyler Loves & Trusts April! She looks even more perfect in that car, like it was made for her. Reminds me of seeing a beautiful Italian girl in all white full leathers on a pearl white Ducati. Gorgeous! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

My first car in 1985 was a hand me down all black 1966 Morris Mini Cooper 1275S. It was also my father’s first type of car in 1962. My brother found our mini and when he went to college,I was handed the keys…keys I wish I still had today as I HAVE never been able to duplicate the fun I had with that car ever. It became a rusty, non-runner by the late 90s and my dad sold it, which at the time we all supported but now regret. My dad is in his 80s now and my brother and I are looking to purchase back an original Mini S to hold onto, this time forever! Between us we have owned several dreams cars including: Mercedes’, BMWs, GTRs, Bentleys, Alfa Romeos, Z28s, Jags but still our heart is with that all black 1966 Mini Cooper S. Enjoy all the memories of a great car and amazing grand parent.

There is nothing compareable to the connection a man has with his first car. I got in an accident in my first car (1987 Supra) back at the end of 2021. Since then, it’s been a slow process getting it all fixed up. I don’t drive it much anymore since it’s still not finished, but whenever I do take it out for a drive, she fires right up like I just drove it yesterday. Sometimes I go 6 months without driving it. I saved the car from going to the junkyard when I originally bought it in high school. I restored it with my dad. It protected me in the crash, and I walked away without a scratch. In return, I once again, saved it from going to the junkyard. I have now had to “save the car” twice, but it also saved me in more ways than one. There were times I was battling depression, and one of the few things keeping me going was being able to take my Supra out for a drive. Right now she’s all fixed, but just needs repainted because a few body panels are mismatched colors. Sadly it has kinda been put on the back burner since I also bought a matching 1987 Porsche 944S.

Special episode! Really great moment between you and april and the story behind the car. Very heartwarming!

Wow Tyler. One of the best videos you’ve ever made. Love April and I know your grandmother is looking down happier than ever for you.

My first car was a 2002 chevy trailblazer ltz. 22 years and 200k miles later she´s still with me. Tyler I get you, that car, that first car is just a keeper.

I was tearing up by the end. Thank you for making this beautiful video and making new memories with your favorite car. I hope this new girl sticks around, she’s such a sweetheart

It’s great to see you out enjoying this SL again! That generation was just classic, a Mercedes that still looks baller so many years later. Nobody can tell you how to process grief, but getting this Merc back out on the road is such a good sign. She’d want you to drive it, Tyler

My favorite video you guys have done to date! Don't let that go to waste. Nice touch at the end too.

My grandpa had a 1978 450 SLC. Lot of memories as a little kid. Unfortunately it was too far gone to save and we sold it for parts before he passed.

Hoovie, this may be the best video you have ever made. Thanks for sharing.

This was the best episode yet of Good Morning KZfaq. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I'm sure it wasn't easy but it was just so genuine and emotional. I sincerely hope that we get to see this incredible machine get restored on Hoovie's Garage.

Please drive it more on the channel and keep us updated on it! Grandma would be proud of you Hoovie and she would have loved April too. It’s nice to see you’re finally happy ❤

I miss my grandma so badly!! Wish I had video with her. Thank you Tyler for sharing a bit of your heart with us. April, you did good!!!!!!

Your best video to date. Enjoyed the throwback photos and the priceless video of you and your grandma.

Not gonna lie. The end of that video gave me a little lump in my throat, a first from a Hoovie video and I think I’ve seen them all. Your grandma was AWESOME!!

When Hoovie hit the side of the car and scared April I almost choked from laughing!!!!! Ornery!!!! Tyler, you're doing Grandma a service by driving the car, not letting sit and dry rot. The fact that she started right up is testament and proof that both grandma and the car want the car to be driven! You must have been an amazing grandson to receive such a special gift!

Tyler I think this is best video you have made I think it's the sweetest way you feel about your grandma, good bless you you are a great human being

I understand your feelings Tyler. I'm still missing my mom after 10 years of her gone. But they will want us to move ahead and it looks like you have. And you have a very good companion to do it with.

Hoovie: not creepy at all. I am close to my grandma too. She helped raise me and I always talked to her about my love for Mercedes. When I bought my very first Mercedes I think she was more excited for me than I was for myself! Fortunately she is still around, but dementia is slowly taking her away. Cherish the memories and cherish that car!

This video just sorta gets you in the feels. Grandmas are awesome; mine are gone. Memories are what you have, and they're great. I'm glad you can enjoy some of yours again.

What a great video! As a “Grandmas Boy” myself, I love how u are sharing this with April and bringing the 2 together!

This was a really great video. You can see how much Hoovie loved his late grandmother and how much the car means to him. It's obvious the sentimental value of the car is priceless and I hope he continues to enjoy it with his loved ones and makes new memories.

15:10 in your video. I've been watching your videos for years Hoovie. My grandma passed away only a few weeks ago and I'm really struggling, but hearing your story of not being able to ring your Grandma really hit hard as I feel exactly the same now. And I just feel alot of comfort in seeing you deal with the mourning process and taking her/your old car out for a drive, like she would of wanted you to. So thank you for this sensitive insight into your life. It's really helping some of us out here :)

Great to see you driving your grandmother's car again. I know you have sentimental attachment to it being your first car and it being your grandmother's. I've watched you for about 7-8 years now and I really don't blame you for not driving it.

Grandparents approval has a tremendous effect on us. Being able to stay close to her and share those great memories is what we love about you.

I am so happy for you! Sharing this car with April really is the next step in your relationship. What an emotional moment!

Watched you for years Hoovie, this is my favorite video by far.

Tyler, years ago I commented on a video you posted with your grandmother where I implored you to cherish those moments. At the time my grandmother had been gone for a few years and her loss was one I never thought I would survive. I too was a grandma’s boy, she was my best friend in the entire world. I both enjoyed your interaction with yours but hurt by how much it reminded me of her. Truly, from the bottom of my heart I feel your pain and wish you only the best. I’m happy to see you take this step. I hope you find comfort in the memories, sharing them keeps her close. Best wishes my friend. ❤

Tyler thanks for sharing about your grandmothers car but man i will tell you how much i started to tear up at the end of the video it made me think about how much i miss my grandma.

Hoovie dont focus on negative feelings. This car should bring pure happiness. Dont feel bad if you didnt visit your grandma as much as you feel you should have. Im sure she understands

The best upload I've seen from anyone in a long time. You were a good grandson Hoovie.

This is such a heartwarming video guys. Grandma would want you both out using the old Merc as much as you can. Enjoy it. It’s what it’s there for and you’d be honoring her memory in doing so. And by goodness, April will look hot as driving down the street.

Keep going guys. I knew it’d take time to get the vibe up and running but it’s building and growing. Do it right and the people will come

I absolutely love you guys I've been a fan for years btw I'm not crying you are I'm honored that you are willing to share your story and emotional connection to your cars especially that one. Thank you!

Well done. I really enjoy watching the two of you. Thank you

That white SL is still my favorite part of Hoovies garage fleet. It was kinda sad watching it sitting for very long time. I still remember Hoovies old videos with talking Le Baron (Never gonna give you up dance in gray coat and later burying it in the ground...), cheap mini van, apollo 911 etc. But that white 500SL started his "car fever" and later "hooptie lifestyle" which led to his dream "job" I guess. So, big thank you to Tylers grandma for giving him that SL. Tyler, I think that April is your "personal cheerleader" now. I hope, that both of you will enjoy good old white SL in years to come.

This is my favorite car in your collection Tyler and the video when you told us that your Grandma died made me cry because I knew how close you were to her! I love seeing April driving it. Your Grandma is smiling because you are happy!

Aww Ty. Beautiful clip with Grandma at the end. Sweet story and glad you've got the Merc back on the road. April is certainly a keeper. She knows what that car means to you and it is perfect trust and love insisting that she drives it. Keep the content coming!

Absolutely love this. You guys for sharing!!

The sentimental value and emotional connection attached to cars like this can never, ever be measured in monetary value! What a gorgeous car and a testament to the engineering of that period that it still holds up well today. And not to mention, I'm sure it was blessed by your grandma as well. Deciding to use it more is definitely the right thing to do, after all, that's what it was born to do!

If there's one thing I'm taking away from this video, it's that April is good for Tyler.

I cried thinking of my grandfather and my dad. Go Tyler.

My grandfather died in 1997 and to this day I can't go near the cemetery he was buried at. It was across the street from a high school and I wouldn't let my kids go to that high school because then, 20 years after he died, i still can't go near that cemetery without breaking down.

Thank you, Tylor. Thanks for sharing that moment. Thank you April. Both of you, deserve each other (I mean that beautiful lady you are and that gorgeous piece of car (and Hoovies) history). Tylor is a good guy and great man! Cheers.

One of, if not the best video, you’ve ever done.

Thanks for sharing such a personal experience. Nothing better than a car attached to a great personal memorial.

I woke up in a terrible mood today but you guys fixed it. Luv you both ❤

@GoodMorningKZfaqAT Tyler, thank you for the clip of your Grandmother at the end. I was very connected to my own grandparents and it was a real treat to see you with her.

I love that you have started driving this Tyler. I hope I see it driving around Wichita one of these days. Safe travels you two!

Your grandma is so sweet in this video.🥰 April seems to be a really nice person and you guys are a great match. I like that you’ll let her drive this gem.

Last clip from April to Grandma in the seat, yeah we all teared up. Great stuff Tyler and April

Grandma is smiling down upon you as you make new memories with someone else so important to you. She would be immensely proud of you.
