10:41His conclusion: discounted entry-level supercars can offer a rewarding experience despite their quirks.

A McLaren that starts with only one dashboard error counts as a small victory in Ed Bolian's garage. In "Why was this McLaren just $26,000?", the engine runs, but the steering-column controls and manual-mode transmission behavior give him plenty to explain.

The review is nearly four months old and remains his busiest upload right now, narrowly alongside "Is this the WORST THING that can happen as a Car YouTuber?" Bolian says the 570GT survived the same flood as Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez's P1. An opening note makes the chronology clear: the footage was recorded the previous year, and the car had already been sold before publication.

What makes the drive interesting is the contrast between troublesome electronics and a chassis Bolian genuinely enjoys. He praises the steering and visibility, and welcomes doing without the expensive hydraulic suspension found on other McLarens. The video includes a sponsored segment.

There were no new uploads this week. Subscribers stayed unchanged, while the archive added roughly 4,800 views; daily viewing is currently running below its usual level. Nearby motoring channel omardrives had a much busier week, adding more than two million views.

Bolian's archive also offers the opposite end of exotic-car shopping: John Temerian from CURATED joins him to examine a Verde Ithaca Gallardo Superleggera with a rare factory gated manual. That older tour continues to attract a smaller daily audience.
