Car Issues — Season 1

Jun 2019

Tyler Hoover goes all-in when he buys a surprisingly inexpensive 2007 Audi, equipped with a Lamborghini V10 engine as well as a classic beater--a 1988 Ford Bronco. Will these rides be keepers? Or will he decide they're not worth the effort and flip 'em?

Jun 2019

Tyler Hoover finds a rare "Saabaru" -- a Saab with a Subaru WRX engine -- for a great price, and takes it on a dream grand prix course. For his second adventure, he picks up one of the first "sport trucks" produced by Chevy -- a 1990 Chevy SS 454, known as the king of the burnouts. Are either of them keepers?

Jun 2019

Tyler visits Houston to pick up a Mercedes Benz SL500, which he gets for an insanely low-price due to damage stemming from the hurricane. Does it still hold up? He then also buys an "old lady" car, only this beast comes from the brief period in time that GM was putting Corvette engines in the Cadillac Fleetwood. He may be in for a major surprise. Will either car make the cut for his collection?

Jun 2019

For only $6,000, Tyler finds a well-maintained 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer--the first production year of the first luxury SUV ever built--and nearly drives it off a cliff on Colorado's Skyline Drive. His second discovery is a late-night impulse buy of an insanely fast 1989 Ford Mustang Saleen--one of only 500 made--but with the low price comes the fact that it's a salvage title. Will either of them make the cut to stay in his ever-growing collection?

Jun 2019

Tyler finds one of his bucket list cars -- a 1975 Chevy El Camino, born from a gimmicky time when the cars had swiveling bucket seats. Trying to up his sophistication game, he also buys a cherry red 1971 Jaguar XJ6, one with a Chevy 350 Engine swapped in. But the Jaguar's reliability and authenticity repeatedly gets called into question. Will either of these legendary rides make the cut?

Jun 2019

Tyler gets lured down to Shawnee, OK on the promise of a 1987 BMW 325i with only 69,000 original miles on it, but when he arrives he finds out why the seller is only asking $2,000. His second trip sets him off on a mission to Wynne, AK to prove that the Porsche Boxster isn't the "lesser Porsche" so many people think it is. Do either get kept? Or will they both get flipped?

Jun 2019

Tyler finds a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo in what looks close to mint condition--but the car apparently has an axle to grind. He also finds a great deal on a ridiculously fast, supercharged pickup truck made famous by The Fast and The Furious and decides to take it up a few more notches from there. But will either car make it home?

Jun 2019

Tyler would spare no expense to get his hands on a replica Jurassic Park Jeep, and luckily he finds one that the seller decorated himself for only $6,500. But is this monster actually built for power? Tyler also heads to Denver, CO to pick up the cheapest 1991 Corvette ZR1 being sold in the country. Is either ride worth the trip?

Jul 2019

Tyler finds a (mostly) demilitarized Humvee in Oklahoma for only $15,500 and tries as hard as he can to completely destroy it. He also gets to live out a childhood fantasy when he finds a decommissioned police car, complete with working light bar, PA system, and sirens. But do either of them make sense as daily drivers?

Jul 2019

Tyler finds the best of both worlds when it comes to Buicks--the guts of a Grand National with the plush interior of a Regal Turbo. He decides to race it against a modern Regal Turbo to see if things have gotten better or worse with age. He also finds a Mitsubishi 3000GT for $10,000--a steal for a car that was once considered in league with Japanese supercars. Will either car hold up to their counterparts?

Jul 2019

Tyler finds a ridiculously fast, RENNTECH tuned Mercedes CL600 and attempts something he's never done before--get the car up to 150mph. His next trip is to Colorado to pick up a Range Rover for the suspiciously low asking price of only $3,000. Instead of carefully ushering it back home, he decides to find out what it's got left in it by driving it straight up the side of a mountain. But will he make it down?

Jul 2019

Tyler finds a 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT and threatens to make station wagons look cool as hell. He also picks up a 1995 Dodge Viper, which breaks before he even has a chance to pay for it. Luckily the seller is able to fix it on the spot, but will the fix hold all the way to Kansas?
