All Things Parker (Vehicle Virgins)

[Flyn]

Funny episode today. "Cooking with Parker". I gotta admit, this episode made me laugh.

Parker believes he can fry a steak on his Lambeau engine. Will it work?

Cant stand this guy. Born into money. Very full of himself.

Rob Dahm and him had some disagreement a ways back. Porker seems rather immature.
*tried to find Rob's video, but he took it down after it got enough attention.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, Parker's an over the top kid who lucked into working his way up from regular car reviews into premier automobiles. He still uses a handheld camera.

Makes a good income from it.

 

[kyesburrell]

And i think its that over-the-top i dont like. Seems less relate-able. idk, I dont have much tolerance for flaunting affluence.

 

[IDAFC21]

Id totally eat a lambo steak Although that one looked a bit overcooked for my tastes.

 

[Flyn]

Parker beats the crap out of his E63s AMG. Includes top speed on a salt flat.

Any guesses on how fast the Mercedes tops out at? 100 degree day.

Just literally got done watching that. Next video: "I RUINED THE $4000 MATTE PAINT JOB ON MY AMG!!"

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Based on the splash screen of the video 184.

 

[Flyn]

Ha Ha, yeah. That was an easy one. Parker is asking himself later in the video if his car may still have a speed limiter. He doesn't even know. Has to call the mod shop to find out.

I actually enjoyed the more regular car reviews with the Asian guy when they were in Michigan.

Eddie X? He still has his own channel where he does "normal" car review things.

 

[IDAFC21]

This just reconfirms to me that the 355 is the best sounding road going ferrari of all time.

SPOILER ALERT: It's not HIS Ferrari. But Hoovie is being a good sport about it in the comments

It's not click baiting! We had an intense negotiation of a 1 month lease, and he beat me down to zero dollars a month, with a bumper to bumper warranty. I'm a great negotiator.

 

[Flyn]

The click... click of the shifter is so sexy.

 

[Flyn]

Parker thinking about putting a Hellcat motor in his ice cream truck.

[IDAFC21]

Soooooooooo, that Ferrari of Hoovie's that Parker was "looking after"......it burned to the ground. While Parker was driving it. He's ok, but the car is toast. Literally.

Man. Thats so rough. Even tho it TECHNICALLY was not Parker's fault, and hindsight being 20/20, if it were me, and A) I lifted the hatch and saw power steering fluid billowing out all over the hot engine and even hotter exhaust manifolds, B) was driving a car thats well known to try and flambe itself any chance it gets, and C) its NOT my car, I don't care what my mechanic or anyone else would've told me, I wouldve called a tow truck. I don't care how "gingerly" you drive it, in Cali it was probably over 100 degrees ambient that day, and I'm taking no chances with a combustible liquid coating my entire engine bay.

But I guess that's my 36 year old brain working. Who knows what my 24 year old brain would've done. Poor Hoovie.

 

[Flyn]

Wow. That sucks. Parker isn't any kind of expert. He's a well traveled kid.

Hope the guy had insurance.

 

[Flyn]

Looks like Parker is doing OK. 1.7 million viewers must earn some big bucks because Parker is buying a couple mil. worth of cars. Here's the first one.

I havent watched all the vids yet but ive been keeping up. He's gone completely insane. But I'll watch.

Really wonder if it was bought or rented/leased. I mean, it's not like he couldn't sit on it and/or flip it if he got it for a good deal.

 

[Flyn]

He's trying to pick cars that will either increase in value or not decrease much.

Gets to drive them, make money from them and then sell them to make a profit or take a small loss.

 

[Flyn]

Parker drives an F1 car!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq-4cJuWpg8

 

[IDAFC21]

Definitely cool, but not REALLY an F1 car. Maybe an F1 chassis, but that V8 definitely wasn't bolted in there in 2001, that technically wouldve been a V10. and he did mention the suspension components were changed out from carbon fiber to steel ones, and if I had to guess, it probably has steel brakes too. BUT, that said, it is about the closest thing to a real F1 car any of us civilians will ever have the chance of driving. Still kinda cant believe they're running that old of a chassis and letting people just rip them tho. The seating position in those cars looks SO high now Him and Paul's head were almost blocking the air intake. No side protection for the head. No hans device. Also surprised they're running full slicks on those things. Parker did flat spot the SHIT out of those tires into the last corner Still jealous tho.

 

[Flyn]

Parker removes the wing from his Lambo. (He needs help, LOL)

Look! Parker can remove bolts and change bits! I literally could not watch this without laughing.

[Ti28]

I didn't even make it 30 seconds into the video.

 

[Flyn]

What do you think of his Lambo wrap? I like it better than the lime green.
