Good to know, I've never liked the guy (can't stand the way he speaks) I found he always came off fake and phony, which a lot of these hollow Trumpers essentially are.
Hoovie is still good in my books though, he seems to keep his politics to himself.
He's a successful car sales man, regardless of belief he's likely going to be fake and phony. His stories seem entertaining enough, if the guests he invites all seem more in the MAGA camp than anything.
Hoovie’s girlfriend has the Republican girl jaw contouring / shitty blending
Freddy also ran a Republican news site and bot network
Freddy seems more like a do whatever that makes him money type of guy regardless of morals and belief. His belief to me is money above all else, so whatever that makes him more.

The whole Freddy/Jared situation is still wild to me. Dude hooked up with the wife of the guy he did the Yugo collab with, which led to divorces all around.
It's the reason Jared wanted out after building the 3000GT, Supra, and SC300 for Tavarish. Yikes.
LOOK AT ME IM MIKE AND I HAVE A BIG HOG AND I DRINK TEQULA AND WORK OUT AND LISTEN TO CHARLI XCX ON THE BEACH IN BERMUDA
Grow up fuckin Peter Pan and get a good nights rest.
The whole world has gone down a road no one can recover from, and it's nothing to do with governments, it's because so much of the general public is so fucking stupid.
Interesting that Hoovie keeps his political views to himself, which I respect. Same along with one of his mechanics, The Car Wizard. I enjoy Car Wizard's segments. Sometimes, I find he's too practical; His infatuation for Toyota and hatred of BMWs annoy me.
I always called him The Car Grand Wizard... lol... seems like a nice guy

So these guys (strickland motor co)in the US are trying to build and sell a manual wagon. This is the latest update I got from them.
Quote:
For too long, us car enthusiasts have often been forced to choose.
Performance or practicality.
Driving excitement or family utility.
Weekend thrills or daily reliability.
We refuse to make that choice and we know you do too.
So we’re building the SpeedWagon – the perfect combination of everything you've been waiting for in a modern vehicle:
- A V8 or V6 with a 6-speed manual transmission
- Seating for 5 with generous cargo space in a wagon
- 0-60 in under 4 seconds for track-ready performance with daily-driver comfort
- An analog and simplified driving experience with minimal tech and no big screens
We've drawn inspiration from enthusiast favorites from the 60s through the 90s – timeless designs that still turn heads decades later.
We want the SpeedWagon to be accessible to enthusiasts too. While our initial Champion Edition SpeedWagon represents a bespoke, limited run, our Enthusiast edition is focused on being the alternative to luxury cars that enthusiasts have been looking for.
Champion Edition: Only 50 produced
SpeedWagon R (V8)
Estimated delivery: 2026-2027
Built on a modified BMW E46 chassis
Starting at $150,000
Enthusiast Edition: 800-1000 per year
SpeedWagon (V6) & SpeedWagon R (V8)
Estimated delivery: 2028-2029
Built on a new Strickland chassis
Est. price range: $60,000-$100,000
I'd love to hear what excites you most about the SpeedWagon. Reply to this email to share your thoughts or drop us a note at hello@stricklandmotorco.com anytime.
In our next email, Stone will tell you a bit more about our backgrounds and how everything we’ve done has been building to this.
Until then, enjoy the drive.
Silas Strickland
P.S. - We are in the shop building the prototype RIGHT NOW and could use your support. Click the link below to see ways to help, forward this to other car people or email us back if you want to help in other ways.

The E46 version has a shot at being real.
The Enthusiast Edition has 0 shot; they will quickly learn what Lotus learned with the Emira.
1) Even if you reuse a body, skip durability testing, reuse other manufacturers engines, the cheaper 6 cyl is gonna be like 5k cheaper, not 40.
2) Reusing electronics from Bosch means you still have to tune the ESC, airbags, etc. Fixed costs don't vanish.
My estimation is for a 6 year/6k unit run, the R&D & manufacturing cost per car is
6 cyl - B58: 79k + 15% markup for 90k MRSP.
8 cyl - Coyote: 88k + 15% markup for 115k MRSP.
Maybeee they can slash 15k to hit a 75k base price.
No LSD, no radio, front airbags only, single piston brakes, china tires/cast wheel, shit dampers, the worst possible column EPS (hydraulic is more expensive).
Source? I was involved in rear crash structure for a certain Cadillac with a bespoke engine & did some product planning at Nissan for an internship.
My math:
Quote:
assume
- reuse as much R&D & existing parts as possible
- no warranty
- use powertrain like Coyote crate that already has EPA cert
- no durability/fleet testing
fixed cost:
- crash cert: 18M
- emissions: 7M for two powertrains
- body R&D + tooling: 15M
- suspension r&d: 4M
- ESC, ABS, TC tuning: 3M
- random testing: 2M
per unit cost:
- body manufacturing: 9k
- engine/trans/driveline: 25k for crate american v8, tremec, mechanical LSD
- suspension/steering/brakes/wheels/tires: 13k
- interior/safety: 14k
- electronics/lighting: 12k
- assembly: 10k
Assume 6 year model run and 6000 units, all in cost would be
- B58: 79k
- Coyote: 88k
Add 5k warranty reserve and 15% gross margin.
I feel like we’re way more interesting than these wankers, dude spent like 5 minutes crying about driving on the other side screaming like a little girl
