Despicable levels of cheating here. Despicable I say.

Loving the series this season. Good stuff

Ed cracked me up when the said “That’s the second most popular car in California next to a UHaul truck!” Love it

“Freddy you bought a car that was engineered by people still working up the courage to try flavored water” No idea how Ed comed up with these but keep them coming lmao

Imagine Ed being the only person who followed car trek budget rules lmao

Now this could be the next TOP GEAR, great chemistry between the hosts, awesome content, original ideas and most importantly dad jokes.

Tyler’s internet browser being stuck on xvideos most underrated part of the video 😂

"The number of error lights in this car is about as reassuring as blood in your stool" literally made me laugh out loud!!

Tavarish dropping truth bombs about Elon Musk! Nothing but a hype man.

First off, love the show. I know it’s kinda fun and funny when the “rules” are broken but it’s been multiple times over 2 seasons that it’s not even been close with the target price. Enthusiast watching the show like myself like to see what deals are out there from experts like you guys, not 30k Tesla’s or 100k Ferraris. 3 cars under 30k is an awesome idea and so far, oddly enough Ed is the only one that’s managed that.

The ls400 is literally my dream car 😂, as Ed and Hoovie go "nobody dreams bout that car" and I was like mannnnn

34:58 I love how Hoovie has slowly been losing his cool as the Car Treks go on.😂

Looks like I forgot to clear my browser history. How embarrassing!

Let’s just appreciate how much the Wizard has grown on camera.
Quite the enjoyable character to have in these videos!

When I found Car Trek: “what kind of BS Top Gear knock off is this”
6 seasons deep: “is the new Car Trek episode up yet?!”
Who else loves this show and can’t stop watching?

I love that Tavarish always goes the Toyota \ Lexus route.
Respect dude 🙏🏽

After seeing the sportscars I was expecting the "luxury" cars to be complete basket cases.
After seeing the sportscars and the "luxury" cars I'm expecting the off-roaders to all be Power Wheels.

M113s are damn reliable, especially these na ones, the entire car will fall apart, but the engine will keep going, no matter what

You have no idea how hot 5 rolls of aluminum foil is as clothing.

A running and driving ls400 for $1 is my ultimate dream car. A 720s has nothing on that car when that Lexus is putting out at least 170horses per dollar

I love how tyler bought a car for the luxury sedan category that's neither sedan or luxury😂

24:41 look at Tyler’s screen in his Tesla😂😂

Let’s just point out that Ed always has the shoes on point

My god the wizard is next level he’s tested so many fluids he can tell the difference between oil, power steering fluid, and coolant all by taste

$40,000 spent on a $30,000 budget and only 2/3 the way through? Sounds like every car build ever.

I now look forward to every CarTrek episode just as much as the next episode of The Grand Tour. Freddie, Ed, and Tyler are the only group (other than TGT boys) to make this automotive enthusiast get excited when notified of a new episode being dropped. I can't wait to see the next episode! Keep up the great work, guys!

Might be my favorite season so far. Couldn’t have come at a better time, can’t get back to the garage, or drive, for at least another week or two due to surgery recovery. Thanks for the distraction!!

This is my first CAR TREK episode and man I am loving it. It just reminds me of the golden days of old TOP GEAR. Great work guys

34:55 first time I’ve ever heard Tyler swear in ANY video and it sounds so genuine I love it

YES!!! you guys are awesome! I've seen the comparison before, and I'm sure you guys get it a lot, but this is 100% the version of American Top Gear that we all wanted! It come through clearly that you are occasionally paying homage to the classic BBC Top Gear in your rapport and challenge concepts. Love it, and hope you keep doing challenges like this!

Tyler: "I'm driving in absolute silence. I can hear myself thinking"
The silence must be deafening.

CarTrek makes me so damn happy, thats for making the series, it scratches a horrible itch thats was left behind by lack of TopGear and the infrequent release of Grand Tour

"The only car more popular in the state of California than a U-haul truck". You guys got me hooked now!

Ed made car trek exciting, the concept of the challenge was awesome but too much "rule bending" if the rules were followed through out it would have been more exciting
But I love you guys , your awesome!!

Ed's laughter when Wizard is telling them the cost of repairs for each cars... eeeeepic!

I genuinely couldn’t tell if Tyler’s reaction to the yoke was genuine or scripted, by the er phrasing it seemed natural lmao

You just can't beat a depreciated AMG car!

This is such a good season. I hope I get to watch these for years to come. Absolutely classic, thank you guys

Regarding the ABC suspension, I would just replace the one leaking strut, all the accumulators (including pulsation damper), the ABC filter, and inspect the ABC hoses for any chafing or damage in the transmission tunnel area. This should be doable for around $3000 USD by an independent mechanic, $2500 if you use a reman ABC strut from Arnott. Spend another $800 or so parts and labour doing valve cover gaskets, motor mounts, and transmission mount. The W220 should then be good to go for under $4k.
You don’t need to replace everything on ABC if one part fails, it’s only an issue where continuing to drive with faulty parts can cause other parts to fail. You don’t need to replace the pump if it’s pumping fine and not making noise or leaking. You don’t need to replace struts if they’re damping fine and not leaking. Accumulators are an inexpensive wear item, so I would replace those, and a bad accumulator would be the cause of the warning light over bumps.
I’ve owned two ABC-equipped CL classes, and love the suspension system. It handles way better than Airmatic. It’s not too bad to maintain either if you understand the system, keep on top of preventative maintenance, and fix little issues before they become big ones.

Having a mech evaluate each car with the show hosts is a crazy unique idea that once you see it you wonder why no other car show has done it! Great stuff!

And let's leave it to a tesla to take the entire budget to even make it on the show. Good job hoovie

I love Ed's enthusiasm when it comes to his terrible cars. Makes me want to be more positive

CarTrek is all I wanted for Christmas this year, and I'm so happy we have it!

Another outstanding Christmas Car Trek, thanks to AutoTempest and Freddy, Tyler, and Ed -- You 3-guys rule Auto Clip-Share

"What a vessel of brooding, existential dispair..." I LOVE Ed's one-liners!

I LITERALLY dream of owning an LS400. No joke lol I want to manual swap it and turbo it. I love the 1UZ engine

The production the editing the camera work is just phenenomal we really are getting tv quality production for free on Clip-Share thank you car trek

I've always loved the looks of the '99 - '02 AMG S55. I used to really like the 1st gen LS400, too.

Hoovie went through the first 3 stages of grief in about 10 seconds when he saw that yoke, 😂😂

This show is getting better and better!!

Love to see wizard and jarred build a car together someday 🙌

You guys are killin’ it! Take it from a top gear and grand tour fan. After patiently waiting for Carnage e Trois, their last special. I can tell you Car Trek is way more engaging to watch. Happy holidays everyone!

Such a great show. Love these guys. Keep up the great work

Ed's honesty about how broken the S55 is just made my day. "Ed, Do they all work? and I would answer 'No they do not.'". HA

Nothing like an early Christmas present in the form of Car Trek!

Ed at 12:25, “The number of error lights on this cars dash is just about as reassuring as some blood in your stool” had me laughing so hard.

When Ed said “Freddy, you brought a car that was made for people still working up the courage to try flavored water”4:40
I busted into tears laughing, that’s such a roast if I’ve ever heard one!🤣🤣🤣

I’m really loving this season of Car Treck! But damm Freddy what you and the Wizard did to Tyler’s Tesla was downright dirty!🤦🐟

Tavarish and Ed giving Tyler crap because of "overspending" is pretty ironic considering this is the first episode Ed didn't stretch math, and Freddy literally brought his own car not even participating in the challenge of buying a car to compete. If you ask me, it's about time Tyler gets a pass!

Thank you for showing me that you cannot get 3 cars on AutoTempest for 30k.

This is exactly what American Top Gear should have been. This is a great episode. I like what Tavarish was thinking with the Tesla mod at the end. I'm very excited to see how this turns out. Thanks.

Tavarish cheating AGAIN!😂😂 this show is awesome. Really fills the gap that top gear and the grand tour left in my life. Can’t wait for episode 4

I would love to see a restoration on that Lexus giving it back the love it’s given to its owners over the years fresh interior fresh body work maybe an engine rebuild if possible

Hopefully you folks take this as a compliment. I am a big fan of Top Gear and the Grand Tour. You three are about as entertaining as Clarkson, Hammond and May. Great content, lots of entertainment and laughs. Love it!

I feel like everyone knew the luxury Japanese sedan was going to be an ls400

Had covid in October, and have a cold now.
Seems like whenever I'm home sick there's Car Trek to watch. I don't watch a ton of YT, so when I have the time, I love catching up on these 3!

You should do a bigger budget “fast and furious” like car trek where you guys basically buy a base model car for “street racing” and get to fine tune them and customize them to a point they look like they could be in the movie. Keep in mind 2F2F had literal PT Bruisers in em and even my old Sentra.

I think the comradery is really growing. I love the the car idea as well

I don't think I've ever heard Tyler get bleeped from swearing in a video. It's just so good! Well done XD

thats amazing lexus engineering right there .. 1mill miles , and the only thing needed is basically maintenance work

The Tesla would be the perfect car to throw in a set of coils on the lowest ride height. You could be dragging that frame all the way around the world and it wouldn’t break

I love caR trek!! You guys are making great content!!! Keep up the good work! 💯💯💯💯😎😎

I love the driving loafers that Ed wears. We need more loafers in our lives

Tyler bending the rules here is an understatement, he's got the rules in a crippler crossface!

You guys are the best the three new top gear boys for America. Merry Christmas also to car wizard and fellow Clip-Sharers thank you for the videos keep them coming love from Massachusetts.

I love this show!!!!! I loved top gear so much and this fills my heart just as much

Ed so proud of himself for having not (yet) cheated in this edition of CarTrek.

Well, I can say that I respect Tyler in one way: he's got great taste in adult websites ;)

you guys are hitting your stride! Nicely done.

This is your best series to date! You guys are great!

I discovered this channel 3 days ago and gives me sort of old top gear vibes.. way to go guys

Really loving this season!

Hearing Tyler say “WEEZARD” at 8:56 might be one of the greatest things ever

Hoovie dropping the f bomb was the highlight 😂🤣

"I am riding in absolute silence, I can hear myself think and uh... Man, I don't like these thoughts."
You doing alright, Tyler?

I repaired the entire ABC system on my CL600 for less than 3k, the most expensive part was the pump which was $1600, then all the ABC lines where under $400 from the dealer and I rebuilt the valve blocks with a $12 o-ring kit from harbor freight.. boom haven't had a problem since.

I think the comradery is really growing. I love the the car idea as well

As reassuring as blood in your stool 😂😂😂 Ed’s best line yet

I just now noticed the car sitting next to the lift the Tesla when getting the numbers is on is the 308 from a previous season of Car Trek. I don't know how intentional that was, but if it was planned it's a nice touch!

Hoovie spending $200,000 at The Wizard's over the years? Mr. Bolian I think you're lowballing that by A LOT

Jarrod is a awesome driving bot!! Nice work man!

I couldn't finish the video for a whole day due to Tyler's very amazing explicit reaction to his new steering wheel lmaooooo!!! Currently stuck on replay till its not funny anymore and im on replay 20 something now 🤣

First off, I absolutely love the Car Treck series, so much fun! Secondly, sorry to disagree with Ed and Tyler, I would most certainly love a (nicer) LS400 and a Supra (although I like the Mark 3 version better) in my garage! Now, I could tolerate the Mercedes and Porsche, but the Tesla and that other “thing” are a very hard “No”. I have owned multiple BMWs and still do but my favorite car to drive right now is a Toyota 4Runner with the venerable 2uz-fe. 😉

I've said it before and I will say it again: Quit your day jobs! The chemistry you 3+1 (Yes, You too Jared) have is amazing. The content is fantastic. Keep up the great work!!

Hoovie how dare you! LS400 would definitely have a spot in my dream garage, Tavarish’ choice is on point!

I love the CarTrek series....but it is pointless to have a budget if each season someone goes over it :p

The Car Wizard can't even hide how much he loves Lexus 😂

I wonder how many takes it took for them to get a shot of the Tesla bot seen for them to get it without them losing it as Jared dances away XD

With how the budgets have been it feels like Ed would be the only one not riding a pushbike at this rate. 🤣 And that's saying something since he's usually the cheeky one with the budget. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅
