14:55 "really reliable" 15:20 "blew it up last week" lmfao atta boy 🤦
Chevy! LIKE A ROOOOOCK
Lol I said the same damn thing. Ive worked on a lot of those 2.2l 4cyl. I hate em lmao Trailblazer 2.7 (I think? Can't remember) and the 2.2l S10 motors are two Chevy engines I freaking despise.
Spoken like a true project car owner lmfao
Turns out my oil pump just decided to head out!
It was reliable until it blew up...
I LOVE seeing the boys get they bags (BUT also remember that BetterHelp sold clients’ personal information for profit and had to settle IJS)
They don’t care. No one who gets a sponsor by them does.
@@mrtandemslidessbtt That's because you'd have to be an idiot to buy anything that's exclusively advertised by KZheadrs. If a company pays a KZheadr to advertise their product, I automatically put that company into the "do not buy crap from them" pile. KZheadrs know this too, I can't remember who it was, but there's a clip of some big Minecraft streamer laughing his ass off because Manscaped paid him $10,000 for an advert that generated exactly $0 in referrals. I promise you that the more money Donut can screw out of advertisers the better they feel, they just aren't allowed to say that because if they did the money would be cut off and we wouldn't have anything to watch It's a win-win - they get a ton of money to make quality content that we can watch for free by simply skipping past the adverts instead of sitting through KZheads unskipable ads. They even add in a time bar to make skipping the ads easier.
@@oliverrugg3732i’ve enjoyed my ugreen chargers
Honestly if they didn't do the selling thing and just said "this is not therapy it's counseling but can help people who need an ear to listen and bounce ideas off of" I think they would still be successful.
@@oliverrugg3732I agree with u mostly but ur missing out with the manscaped stuff. I've been using them for yrs and they are actually really good. Don't know about anything else cause I've never bought anything else that I can think of from seeing an ad from youtubers.
They're using actual magnets on the Dlist! Merch must be paying off!
Selling out to unethical and borderline criminal sponsors like BetterHelp must be paying off.
Maybe they finally made a magnetic monolith. Was the old one just wood with metal looking wrap over it?
Thanks for allowing me to submit my 180sx! You guys are super sweet and absolutely amazing!! Keep churning out these bangers and thank you all for everything you do for the fans, subscribers, and the community 😁
Bro fellow Kentuckian here, Hands down my favorite car on the list. I'm such a sucker for Nissans of that era. You got a one of my kind gem my dude, Can I ask how much it costed you just to purchase it and get it over here in the states?
Prolly my favorite on the list, one of the cleanest builds I've seen. The 90s nissans are some of the best, my buddy has a 240sx with a RB26 swap and that thing absolutely flies
That 180 is tidy! Running CA18 or SR20?
@Cwayne1989 ayyee what's up!? I appreciate it my man, it's definitely something I will always cherish and still can't believe I own lol. But after shipping, taxes, fees, etc. I spent roughly $29,000.
@MarshallBurrell I appreciate it man! And yes they are, you can never go wrong with any 90s Nissan lol. But hell yeah dude, I bet that 240 rips!
Wow this is awesome!!! Thank you so much for highlighting my car! Supercharged 3800 in a Corvair on a s10 frame coming soon!!
Man that's a sick engine choice I have a 1989 buick electra park avenue with the n/a 3.8 but someday I definitely wanna put a supercharged model in. 👍
Wish I could’ve got my 64 Impala on there. We LS1 swapped it, redid the wiring on the engine and body harness. Every bit of brakes has been redone with disc brakes and new lines and hoses. New digital dash, on airbags with 14” dayton wire wheels
make a vid of u ripping it and send it in
That sounds sick. You should post a vid of it
Sounds like every other 64 impala build ngl.
Way better than a fucking POLO! Or Suzuki. Or Grumman.
@JeffKopis to be fair how many polo builds do you see vs 64 impalas? It's played out
They say they think all cars are cool, but they sure love 'em a good shit box
Who doesn't love a good shitbox? I have a 2010 f150 with 72000 miles on it. Runs like a top. Has LITERALLY NEVER FAILED ME. You think I'm not looking at 99 Subarus on marketplace for $1200?? Bro I want a thrasher

Yoo thanks for sharing my Kubvan! It might be time for some new wheels after seeing the RS’ 🫣
That van gave me French countryside vibes i love it. Deserved a spot higher on the list imo
E30 bbs wheels would look sick
Def keep the original wheels tho
Get them rims bro. It’s the only mod you need to go from quirky to show stopper. Paint looks great btw.
Big Green is the same truck I grew up with, except ours had the two tone paint with cream. We still have it, non driving of course.
You have to fix it someday 🔧
Welp, time to get it back on the road
I learned to drive in a green 2 tone 79. Best looking trucks ever
Big Green is mine! That’s awesome you grew up with one!!
I just saw a Nissan Frontier ad with NOLAN narrating the advertisement! Congrats!
THAT REALLY WAS NOLAN?? I saw that in the theater for dune 2 and thought "that sounds like nolan... probably not..."
I got it to!!
In a world of everything being ‘roasted’ and negativity it’s so fresh to watch a video of positivity. All awesome cars 🍻
Yes!!!!!!!
Lol you must not have seen their videos of roasting subscribers cars
That green monster the F-250 hits me right in the feels. The old man's first vehicle was a 76 that he had lifted on 37's. That he passed on to me when I was able to drive in high school that I then passed on to my brother after I graduated so he can have it for high school. After he graduated three of us were going to restore it, we had it in the barn getting it all prepped and ready then one night during a storm the barn got struck by lightning and burned everything to the ground and we lost the truck.
Thanks for liking the truck so much! I’m sorry to hear you lost the truck to a fire, that’s super sad
“My car was ranked on the monolist and all i got was this lousy t shirt”
For the record, I do not own speedgems, I worked with them to develop the adapter kit! Thanks for the feature!

When i was a teen my parents had a early 70s F-250. It was built to be a farm truck, manual transmission geared for pulling. It maxed out on the highway at 50 mph just screaming lol
That’s my truck! It screams going 50 too haha
@@UpNorthRevivals ill never forget the time we pulled down a big dead tree with it lmao my parent abused that truck and eventually sold it
I'm restoring a 67 chevelle. Almost finished, going to replace the interior. Kept it stock looking but upgraded the 350 to 388, added a tr6060 , 373 gears. Great companion to my 6speed 18 challenger t/a

This is the equivalent of getting your car in a magazine back in the day! Awesome and y’all need to see my collection of cars even if you want to roast them!
Hah Drew Peacock reviewed that 180SX aswell! Immediately put it on the top of his list too, its tastfully done. Interior and exterior, absolutely amazing.
Cars that are built by their owners deserve to be higher on the list than cars that are bought, or, built by checkbook!
Built is built
@@MarlonSolisFallaskeep telling yourself that.
You should see the shape my De Danctis showed up in: three wheels no engine, no transmission, half the body work was missing, and rust throughout the frame. It was a 8 year project
Yeah, that lambo does not belong. And neither does the 2024 Porsche.
@@TheRealWilliamWhiteregardless of how they end up with the vehicle, the hard work they put in to earn the money to afford ANY of it should be enough. No need to gatekeep. 🙂
This has OG B2B vibes from back in the day, I always loved seeing people's builds, please do more
Thanks for featuring my De Sanctis lads, stoked to have it shown off.
Should've been at the top of the list
REALLY solid cars!... The Swift included! I own a 5spd 2000 Chevy Metro with 225k miles on it, and no indication of stopping any time soon, even after my son wrecked it twice. I'd be proud to own any of the cars on that list.
They really need to sell a swift/metro fridge magnet. I'd buy that thing in a heartbeat.
They sent it to me and I'm going to put it on the A pillar because the plastic is missing
Thanks for the feature donut! Glad I got the chance to interact with yall again! :)
When you send the shirts over to the people who sent in their cars, you should send them the magnets of their cars
15:28 Thai guy had us all going with the “reliable” talk The. Goes into how you should 100% turbo the inline 4 Just to end with, I blew it up. 😂😂😂😂

Every ride is cracked .... Cause they're the Donut fam 😂❤
I love how they went like: this guy should befriend this guy and that other guy should befriending that other
Love that corvair. At first I thought it wasn't gonna be as cool as the one from Matt's off-road recovery. But that thing is as cool. They're both equally cool in their own respect.
Thank you! Matt and I get tagged in each others content all the time lol
Yeah lot of work went into that, and it's unique and different from what everyone else is doing. I like that, and it's awesome that you daily drive it. In my opinion, your car should be on the top of the list.
Crazy Cars in this community. Props to all!
The 91 Swift was a legit sporty car for the class. Lotus suspension, and a light as hell chassis. Even the 3-cyl Chevy Sprint Metro felt agile at the time. It (along with the new body Sentra) stacked up favorably to the the same year BMW 318 in all their respective sport-trims (GTI/SE-R/IS)
Gotta love how they get active with their subscribers man- they could just make their own content and go to home but they get engaged. Love you guys
take out a rotary engine - where 3 strips of metal wear out (eventually) replace with a Maserati engine - known to grenade itself in oh so many ways. brilliant!
seriously I really pray to god that rotary was already in UNREPARABLE condition or it was an already ls swapped shitbox that hurt my soul if he straight up took a rotary out
It's probably a "company" car where the guy can show off his skills or practice to improve his skills, like the guys mentioned He made the adapter plate for their truck also. Not very practical for normal car guys but I'm glad someone's doing these crazy builds.
Talk about unorthodox bad decisions.... don't get me wrong, cool, but bad. I saw somewhere that "bad decisions make the best stories..." - that is definitely true
Right on. Not to mention that for the cost of an RX8 and the Maserati motor, you could just *buy* the Maserati. (Not that I would ever be that dumb.)
Same!!!
Some sweet cars in the mix. I’m not really a Civic guy, but I dig the EP3. I almost bought a blue Si when they came out but I had to buy a 4 wheel drive so I went with 99 Tacoma TRD. I’ve had 5 full size Fords ranging from 66 to 93. One was a 75 with a 6 in lift with a 428 4 speed. When I graduated in 99 I bought a cherry 91 240 SX SE hatchback with Super HICAS for $2500
The fact that you would put that GORGEOUS lovingly modded Civic below a stock Lambo some rich dude just bought speaks a lot about your channel as a whole.
Absolutely 💯

My grampa had a 77 ford F250 ranger high boy. With the 440 big block.. I miss that truck.
Hey donut, I just wanted to share a little bit of my story on my vehicle history I am 14 years old and currently own 3 trucks, my first ever truck I bought when I was 12 for $250 was a 2001 Ford Ranger it ended up having transmission issues and a transmission costed more than the entire truck was worth so I sold it for $500. eventually, I decided on buying my dad‘s 2004 Ford F-150 that he bought in 2005 and has been the best truck we’ve ever owned with never breaking down or having issues before, up until about two months ago, he has used that truck and worked it by pulling campers boats trailers, tractors other trucks etc. And it has been a great. I bought it from him for a good price since he got a new 2020 Ford F-250 and I am now going into high school and I worked three jobs one is a large lawn care business I have in my town and second is a vehicle detailing business Where are my friend and I rented out a shop and detail, cars, boats trucks and basically anything we can, third is on the weekends in a campground that I camp in I do maintenance around it. Because I’m trying to save as much money as possible to build that F150. My first real modification I’m gonna be doing to it is actually to the engine, which is a 5.4L Triton V8 with a K&N cold air intake exhaust from the cats back to a Flow Master Flow FX 4 inch exhaust with stainless steel dual side pipes like the ford lightning’s. But it already has that done to it so what I’m doing is putting in COMP Cams and a whole timing set and rocker assemblies and heavier valve springs to accommodate the bigger cams in which, of course I’m gonna get it tuned professionally for those cams. Both my second and third trucks are Ford rangers, The first is 1983 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a carbureted 2.8 L V6 and a C4 transmission I picked it up for $800 a beater/project truck and come to find out the way that truck sits right now it’s worth $7000 pick up a parts truck which is a 1985 Ford ranger with no motor or transmission it’s nothing special but anyway, my dad and I are working on fixing up the 83’ Ranger. Sorry for the super long comment, but I thought I’d just give a little back story on my history of vehicles.
Having the shifter on the dash is the CORRECT position. Any manual drivers out there, put two hands on your wheel at all times (as you should racing, or any other driving) and you'll quickly realise this is exactly where you want it. Please see rally cars for reference
14:09 this would be the kind of car that would dominate everybody in a demolition derby
Yep :) bust out the windows add a roll cage and a mud screen. Good times.
I feel the same way about FD RX-7. I love those cars, I’m so glad they exist. I do not want one.
Love the Corvair.
This was such a wholesome video. You guys see the value in pretty much every car, and every fan. It’s such a huge part of your guy’s success. Keep up the good work!!
My oldest best friend is a car guy and had a VW wagon back in high school and swapped in a 5.0 motor from an old Mustang. That thing scooted.
I have yet to work on my car with anyone else but myself, it’s real frustrating being a car guy with no car friends to help you out or like invite you to any meets, going to a meet on my own is really tough, I just wish I had some car guy friends 😭😂
As a former mechanic I can safely say that Suzuki swift has at least another 200k miles before its next oil change, and the pinch welds’ll be fine, most of that rust can just be welded back in in 30 minutes
I had a 1.0 metro for 100k. Suzuki really earned my respect, that thing would get shifted once the valves started floating and went though more power shifts than it should have been able to survive. It did develop an oil leak from one the seals up top. Any friend who trashed it, I challenged them to let me drive their cars like I did mine. Would you believe everyone said no? Oh, I also accidentally shifted into 1st going for 3rd once at +40mph when the ABSOLUTE top of 1st was 25mph.
I had an ep3 and I miss it A LOT. That things was a riot.

Re: 18:05 Adjustable cams are a real thing. They're cans where the timing gear can be rotated slightly to adjust valve timing.
Dude i got a nissan ad from nolan on this video i felt so happy to hear nolan in a nissan ad its insane especially being that it was randomly put onto a donut video as well what are the odds (ik how the algorithm works im just exaggerating due to my happiness that nolan is in the ad)
I like how they took a guy who already owns a Porsche to the Porsche experience
It sounds like he got the porsche after the experience, thats why he said James was his inspiration
1. Homemade Franken-Corvair 2. '73 F250 3. The done-up mail truck 4. The Mercedes E230 5. The swapped Miata--cool, and about as good a decision as Acme rocket skates. 6. 180SX Race cars are disqualified unlesss they're 24 Hrs of LeMons builds. So are "write a check" cars. I love my Cayman, but it doesn't take much imagination or "cool" to buy a Lamborghini/Porsche/Ferrari off a showroom floor.
true! that is definitely some Wile E. Coyote shit
my fav was the 180sx, looked clean asf and wasn't a "write a check" car like u mentioned.
i can think of very few things more boring than "i went to the porsche dealership and now i'm at a cars and coffee talking about how unique the spec is" 💀
I’m honored you put my car in your number 1 🫡
best part, the Miata is an Ohio car. he'll be at the IDRC Shootout at Summit Motorsports Park this September. he runs the Time attack + drag class there. it's an absolute weapon.
On the point of a mail truck, the smaller (LLV) trucks are s10 chassis with about 90 hrspr and the larger mail trucks (FFV) are an explorer chassis with 200+ horsepower.
BRICK LOVER Nothing beats SWEDISH METAL. That Euro spec 245 is beautiful.

im glad the 3800 S/C is finally getting some love. Super reliable engine that came in many cars, like the Bonneville, Grand Prix, Le Sabre, Century, and the Monte Carlo. Fun, zippy engine that will run without one of the idler pulleys for the supercharger as I found out. I was so upset when my brother traded his in, I told him I'd buy it from him if he wanted to get rid of it. But, I've got an 06 Charger R/T and a 5 spd yaris to practice manual. (My brother's car was a super cool '99 Grand Prix GTP with a factory HUD and digital boost gauge, mpg, maintenance reminder all in one, pre 2000s gms are pretty cool inside)
