Car Issues

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?

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.

Tyler visits Houston to pick up a Mercedes-Benz SL 500, which he gets for an insanely low-price due to hurricane damage. He also buys an "old lady" car, only this beast comes from the brief period in time when GM was putting Corvette engines in the Cadillac Fleetwood.

For only $6,000, Tyler finds a well-maintained 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and nearly drives it off a cliff on Colorado's Skyline Drive. His second discovery is a late-night impulse buy of a salvage-titled but insanely fast 1989 Ford Mustang Saleen.

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.

Tyler gets lured to Shawnee, Oklahoma, for 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. Then he's off on a mission to Wynne, Arkansas, to prove that the Porsche Boxster isn't the "lesser Porsche" so many people think it is.

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 to pick up the cheapest 1991 Corvette ZR1 being sold in the country.

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.

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.

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 also finds a Mitsubishi 3000GT for $10,000 -- a steal for a car that was once considered in league with Japanese supercars.

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?
