Mini-Bago! The 70's style motorhome built on a golf cart chasis at #SEMA2023 was too cool!
We haven’t met anyone yet who hasn't geeked out over this mini-Winnebago that is parked at the Mothers booth at the 2023 #SEMA Show. This golf cart-based toy was built by Travis Moore, the owner of Toy Factory Fabrication, to “inspire kids to get off their devices and go out and build cool projects.” It has the chassis of a Yamaha G29 golf cart underneath and the design is based on the classic square-faced Winnebago motorhomes of the 1970s. From the outside, you can get a sense of the golf-cart chassis it is built on, and you can see the little details like the sewer-pipe storage in the rear bumper, slab-sided aluminum body, and supraorbital ridge that made the original Winnebago unique. On the top is a squirt gun system with some cameras that can be used to squirt victims and can be used as a backup camera. Inside, it has a golf-cart seating position and excellent Formica-like counter tops with maps of the United States. On the rear is an electric minibike for short trips outside of the campgrounds. There is not a lot of sleeping space on board, but we don’t care. We’d take it camping anyway.

Worlds First #BMW M4 Truck Ever Built? #M4Maloo #SEMA2023
Known as the “#M4Maloo”, this high-performance bakkie began its life as a stock standard #BMW G82 M4 coupé before having pretty much everything behind its B-pillars chopped up and rearranged to take a load bed.
This crazy creation is the work of DinMann, whose owner reveals that he
initially wanted to build the world's first #M4 pickup on the preceding #F82 platform. But after concerning himself with what "haters" might say and worrying that these internet trolls would assume he had built a pickup from a salvaged F82, he decided to wait for the G82 to arrive.
After taking delivery in the middle of April 2022, he and his team have begun work on the project which appeared at the 2022 #SEMA show first.
Finished off with choice carbon fibre bits and pieces hand-picked from the extensive #Dinmann catalogue, this one-off creation took about six weeks to put together originally.

Only 701 of these #Porsches produced | Porsche 911 RS America #SEMA2023
Only 701 of these #Porsches produced
The Porsche 911 RS America
The RS America was a decontented and lighter weight version of the 964 #Carrera 2 Coupe and was offered in the 1993 and 1994 model years. It was offered in limited colors and with the only options being a sunroof, A/C, stereo, and LSD.
The RS America was the only normally aspirated version of the 964 to have a fixed ''whale tail'' rear spoiler in place of a retractable one.These US spec cars were assigned the name “RS America”. The intent was to create a basic lightweight, no frills 911 with minimal luxury options. The standard US Carrera 2 brakes, engine and gearbox were used. The RS weighed 2,945 pounds so it was almost 80 pounds lighter than a standard Carrera 2.

Seized Engine Audi A6 3.0T With No Title For Only $1000. Would you buy it?
While looking for a good engine for the '09 Audi A6 in the last video I stumbled across this silver '11 A6 listed for only $2,000. I definitely didn't need a whole other car, but at this price I had to check it out.
The ad listed stated that there was no title. This is always usually a huge issue; however, the owner had the payoff letter from the credit union stating that she had paid it off. So, I figured I'll figure that out later.
The owner said it was probably just a bad battery.... we know that's never the case.
This time I was smart enough to bring the crank turning tool with me. After discussing the car and wasting 3 days and multiple trips to look at it I ended up jacking up the front of it on the side of the road. I told the owner, "If the engine turns, I'll buy it." Do you think that engine turned??
NO! IT'S LOCKED UP AND SEIZED JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE!
So, I said I didn't want the car and wished the owner best of luck. Their response was "I'll drop this Mf'er to $1000 if you buy it."
Hmmmm...... My wife is going to kill me.... I'll take it!
"Hey honey I got another Audi for $1,000" she hears as she picks up the phone lol.
Her first question, "does it run?"
No, it doesn't...
The things I get myself into...
So, say hi the newest addition to the channel, a 2011 Audi A6 3.0T with 130K miles, no title and a seized engine.
But hey, it's got brand new tires at least!
Life often throws curveballs, and car ownership is no different. Join me as I navigate these unexpected hiccups in the world of automotive repairs, learning and growing along the way.

Oil Separator Replacement for Mercedes Benz C230 & SLK230 | DIY for '98 - '00
In the last video with the #W202 we had oil all over the MAF sensor. This is usually due to a failed Oil Seperator. On top of that the lines that are supposed to be soft rubber were so brittle I had to break them off to replace this part.
So, in today's video we will be replacing the oil separator on my 2000 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor. This is a relatively easy DIY job, just make sure you have all the parts beforehand. As always, I have compiled a list of all the parts and tools needed below.
Parts Needed:
Crankcase Ventilation Oil Separator - https://ebay.us/8FYn30
Oil Separator Hose to Valve Cover - https://ebay.us/Mv0Vxt
Oil Separator Hose to Lower Tube - https://ebay.us/DUtbQL
Oil Separator Hose to Air Intake Box - https://ebay.us/g33Zmp
Mann Air Filter for 1998-2000 Mercedes C230 - https://ebay.us/9Z2umd
Tools Used in the video:
Milwaukee M12 Cordless 3/8" Ratchet - https://amzn.to/44VKYzK
GEARWRENCH 8 Pc. 3/8" Drive Long Ball End Hex Socket Set - https://amzn.to/3ZpS6TR
Hose Removal Pliers - https://amzn.to/45UXMI6
This is a very easy replacement that pretty much anyone can do themselves. Taking your car to a shop for this simple of a job is silly and can waste your hard earned $$$.
Don't have a way to reset your engine light? Use this OBD2 scanner that hooks up to your phone for under $20 - https://amzn.to/43xW8dt
Or hit your local Auto parts store and use their free scanner to reset the codes.
