The CHEAPEST Supercar I Could Afford! ITS A NIGHTMARE

Video summary

Press to jump

0:00Dan traces the returning Bricklin's journey through Tavarish, Derek, himself and his father.
2:05The rear hatch reveals a disassembled interior and a missing battery.
5:58Fresh fuel and a jump pack begin the attempt to get the engine running.
9:12The carburetor spills excess fuel, and opening a door causes the engine to stall.
14:48The Bricklin reaches the workshop lift for cooling-system troubleshooting.
18:22An underside inspection reveals replacement suspension bushings, brake lines and the door system's air tank.

Can a gull-wing sports car become Dan's winter beater? That is the wonderfully modest ambition behind the returning Bricklin: forget exotic performance, he wants it reliable enough to fetch groceries.

The white SV-1 has passed through Tavarish, Derek from Vice Grip Garage, Dan and his father before landing back at DD Speed Shop. Its welcome-home inspection finds a disassembled interior and no battery. Fuel and a jump pack coax it into life, but the carburetor spills fuel, opening a door makes it stall, and a later garage start brings steam and boiling coolant. The doors provide the theater; the cooling system supplies the work.

"The CHEAPEST Supercar I Could Afford! ITS A NIGHTMARE" was the most-watched of seven new uploads, drawing about 64,000 views. In the comments, viewers remember Bricklin posters and childhood ambitions to own one; others recall this particular car as their introduction to the channel.

Winter preparations took an equally unconventional turn with "THE ULTIMATE WINTER BEATER. How Canadians Prepare For Winter." Dan's description explains that an El Camino he tried unsuccessfully to sell is becoming a workhorse, with a backhoe attachment on the agenda. Meanwhile, "HARD START. Something's not right here..." returns to an LS installation after removing the supercharger setup. That upload is attracting the most daily views on the channel right now.

Subscribers stayed unchanged across the week, while the channel added roughly a quarter-million views. Daily viewing is currently above its usual level. Nearby in the motoring group, omardrives had a particularly busy viewing week, while Halfass Kustoms is running quieter than usual. Dan's own schedule also made room for live wrenching and two Duct Tape Drags wrap-ups, a change of scenery from cars that resist even a grocery run.

What viewers say

When I was a kid I dreamed of owning a Bricklin one day! I even had a brochure poster on my wall. Love seeing it come to life. Not sure I would want one now but hey I'll enjoy your adventure.

You are seriously good with the wrecker, backed that thing right onto the lift!

Return of the Canadian supercar! The original Bricklin series is one of my favorites on your channel. Yes, they cut corners, but who didn't in the mid-70s? I hope this unique vehicle gets back on the road before you pass it on.
