Anyway he makes money of of this?

For those that don't watch, he started buying bizarre somewhat undesirable cars. He now has been buying older luxury cars (which present him with tons of maintenance problems).

I think the YouTube channel, his Autotrader column, and his yet unreleased TV series are the income opportunities.

Part of the premise of his YouTube channel is he went broke in the car business and has a restaurant or two.

I believe he was like an opening manager (traveled around for launchs) for Freddy's Frozen custards.

He mentioned it in the video of about his Sierras. Having said that I think he may have mentioned not working that job anymore.

Just wondering if youtube ads pay that well since he losses big bucks on a lot of his cars.

He’s great. His channel and VINwiki are the best car related channels on YouTube. Sucks that influence will ruin my plan to buy for affordable 996 Turbo due to his recent purchase.

He also recently threw a wrench into someone’s G-wagon sale on Bring a Trailer. The g-wagon had been exported in and out of Finland. Due to Hoovie’s Bentley, people now know that is the front to get cars to Russia and likely has a suspect history. I’m sure the seller was not happy. Auction ended at $32k which would have been $50k any day of the week.

Didn’t realize he was connected with a fast food chain at one time.

Not sure where he gets the money from but he certainly has a fair amount of money tied up in the hooptie fleet.

I think his channel does pretty well but hard to believe it finances all the cars and maintenance.

Almost 500K subscribers and videos with 1mil+ views on some of the videos can earn a good sum of money.

Enough money to float his debacles? I do realize he has other sponsors (like the watch company).

He mentioned in one of his latest videos how he planned for the income from his videos to cover the repairs on one of his hoopties.

He's obviously not losing money with his multiple revenue streams.

Anyone checked out the channel started by the Car Wizard that works on his stuff? Holy shite, that dude has no business in front of the camera all on his own. Talk about awkward.

But yeah, Hoovies great. I look forward to his stuff and also Ed Bolian's Vinwiki videos. And Demuro, of course.

Some of the stories in these seem to be far fetched.

I felt bad for him when his f355 went up in flames. The funeral was funny.

The Chrysler Le baron with the wood grain was hilarious.

I used to watch him regularly until he let Vehicle Virgins destroy his Ferrari, which was either stupid or a scam.
