We're going to Wide Body and Pirelli Edition Roadster and Not the Orange Coop: Why I Got a Great Deal on My New Car
I recently purchased a car that's already been through an accident, but I got a great deal on it. The reason I'm excited about this purchase is because it's already had some damage, which means I can add to the story with my own wide body kit from Liberty Walk. This way, the car will have even more character and personality.
My new car is a Pirelli Edition Roadster, but I also considered buying an Orange Coop. However, I decided that the roadster was the better option because it had already been in an accident and needed some repairs. The coupe on the other hand was clean, but only needed a couple of turbos to make it special.
I have to admit that I've never bought a salvaged car before, so this experience is a little nerve-wracking. When you're driving the car and you feel something a little off, you wonder if it's because of the accident or if you're just overthinking it. But in reality, the damage was only cosmetic - the hood, front bumpers, headlights, windshield, and front fenders all needed to be replaced.
The photos of the car are from Copart, where it sold for $163,000 as-is. I'm not entirely sure who bought the car and had it repaired, but I bought it from them with a new wide body kit in mind. The airbags did deploy during the accident, which is a dead giveaway that something serious happened.
One of the main signs of the accident was on the front bumper and hood - if you look closely, you can see that the alignment isn't perfect. The panel gap on the passenger side is also slightly off, but with the new wide body kit from Liberty Walk, it won't matter as much. Another sign of the accident is the warping on the seats, which I'm sure a upholstery shop could fix.
Overall, I think I got an amazing deal on this car - $120,000 less than its original price. The only thing I have to worry about now is that maybe I'll want to sell it someday. But for now, I don't think that's going to happen because I love my old car and never want to sell it.
To put the purchase into perspective, I also wanted to buy a twin turbo Liberty Walk Roadster, but only if it was an original coupe. This way, I could have the best of both worlds - the wide body hips of the roadster and the twin turbos that I've always wanted.
I want to give a shout out to my friend TJ Chapman at Auto in Utah, who helped me buy this car. He specializes in rebuilt cars and got me an incredible deal on this salvaged title. If you're looking for a new car, check him out!
I'm also excited to be doing one panel a day on this project, which is taking longer than expected. However, I won't let that stop me - I'll keep working hard until the job is done.
One last thing that happened recently was when my Aventador Roadster ran into a police car in downtown Chicago. Looking at the police reports, it doesn't seem like the driver was drunk, but rather speeding and reckless driving. It's crazy to think about how one wrong move can change your life - or at least your car.

bad i was assuming worst case scenario we're going to have to replace it but to my surprise it only had two millimeters of wear which is hardly like anything whatsoever the transmission is also in very very good condition the problem with the car the reason it was slipping so bad is the eager pump is leaking so we had to replace that and that part is very very very expensive oh my gosh you're

nine dollars we had an additional radiator installed to the car for thirty seven hundred dollars it's the race radiator kit my car was overheating last summer it broke down at least what two or three

moment of silence for my left foot because well r.i.p it's crazy what a difference these shoes are now my left foot is absolutely frozen but i'm telling you guys these vesses are incredible my right foot is completely dry what now the moment of truth i already know that my left foot is frozen and as you can see well there's the proof right foot completely dry how amazing is that i'm completely

an early black friday deal check it out link below or using my code strad man get 25 off your first pair boys your feet your feet are going to appreciate it check out the link below we have to get the raptor out of here we got to get the event store roadster on the other bendpak the veyron also on the bin pack really for no reason whatsoever except it just looks sick and i want to get an instagram photo because finally the cars are starting to come home this is just so incredibly cool we are just racing cars to the sky right now so we gotta raise the event to a roaster we gotta get the bugatti underneath it we're really doing this for no reason whatsoever other than it's just cool and we're going to get some instagram photos and yes yes yes i should be working on unwrapping the ferrari but this is just a lot more fun these bin pack lifts they just like open up the possibilities then we need to talk about this car because this car was in an accident it has a rebuilt title and that's why we're wide bodying it and not that car just going to push this button right here and let it raise to the sky it's so cool to see the aventadors next to each other i think that's the coolest view we've ever had on the channel what what it looks so sick as a nine-year-old kid i would have never imagined this scenario the cars look so cool stacked like this and yes forget the ferrari it's like my arch nemesis i said it was gonna take three weeks and i'm pretty sure it's been four and we still got another week this right here was like my childhood dream to have supercars stacked to the sky wow girth nation we got some girthy girthy curls this is such like i just like i'm i'm just taking a moment to appreciate the view wow if only everything was that easy as a wise man once said this is a representation of my life and my future july 29 2019 i'm reading this article on zero2turbo.com this past saturday around 4 a.m in chicago illinois the driver of this white lamborghini of venezuela roadster pirelli edition collided with a police officer at high speed that is my car which is downstairs police say that the event ran a red light it struck the police cruiser which was driving through the intersection the officer involved was sent to the hospital where he was treated and eventually released the police detained the driver of the lamborghini for questioning eventually releasing him at the scene as well officers then issued two citations to the driver of the lamborghini for speeding and disregarding a traffic signal on july 27 2019 my aventador roadster which is downstairs crashed into a police car and i knew that when i bought the car i factored that into the decision and that's why we're wide body a pirelli edition roadster and not the orange coop and i got a great deal on the car i just did a quick search on auto tempest for pirelli edition roadsters this one right here 369.99 that's a coupe this one for 360. i paid 240 000 for my come on oscar let's go let's go come on and this is why we're going to twin turbo the coop and we're wide bodying the roads because the roadster has already been in an accident it's already been cut up it's already been repaired we might as well go full send on it whereas the coupe is a clean car it just needs a couple turbos this is the first time i've ever bought a salvaged car so kind of sort of nerve-wracking when you're driving the car and you feel something a little off you're wondering is that because of the accident or am i just overthinking it now obviously the car did not sustain heavy damage it's purely cosmetic damage up front you can see the hood the front bumpers the headlights the windshield the front fenders all had to be replaced the roll bars did deploy but mechanically the car should be hopefully in pretty good shape these photos are from the copart listing so at copart it sold for a hundred and sixty three thousand dollars as is and then i'm not entirely sure who bought the car and repaired it um but obviously i bought the car repaired uh let's see airbags did deploy you can see right there now overall the car is in very good shape but there are a few signs here and there that the car wasn't an accident and that's why it's the perfect wide body car because it's already a storied car might as well add to the stories maybe no yeah but we're doing it so i guess it doesn't matter now the main dead giveaway is right here on the front bumper in the hood if you look super closely you can kind of see that the alignment is not perfect i don't know if you guys can see that right there the bumper almost looks a little sunken down compared to the hood the panel gap right there is not perfection but with the wide body kit from liberty walk we're getting a new front bumper and a new hood so it kind of sort of didn't matter and also on the passenger side if we get on inside the airbags did deploy and you can notice it right there we got the warping right here those are the only two things though i mean for a hundred and twenty thousand dollar discount you can't beat it i'm sure i could find an upholstery shop to fix that and then the front bumper the hood we're gonna replace but 120k like twin turbo it just makes sense because then we can have the best of both worlds it's just always been my dream to build a liberty walk eventually roaster it has to be a roaster because of the v12 to open top the visceral experience with those wide body hips but i love my coupe i never want to sell that car so i couldn't trade it for a roadster this opportunity presented itself and i mean i've always wanted to build a twin turbo as well but i wouldn't want a twin turbo liberty walk car and so it's really the best of both worlds i also want to give a shout out to my boy tj chapman auto here in utah i bought the car from him awesome to work in work with he specializes in rebuilt cars i got a screaming deal on this car so check it out i'm going to link him below so yeah twin turbo event store wide body event store that is a rebuilt title i'm a little bit nervous about the day when i want to sell this car but i don't think i'm ever going to sell it so it doesn't really matter but maybe it will but i don't think it's going to matter i don't know who cares i know this process is taking way longer than it should but the goal is to do one panel a day so two days ago i did the hood yesterday to the driver door and today and voila i know this is taking way longer than it should in every single video i have a bunch more excuses but it's nine o'clock i have another meeting here in 15 minutes i just don't have the time to do it also how crazy is it that my aventador roadster ran into a police car in downtown chicago looking at the police reports it doesn't appear that it's a drunk driver because he got ticketed for speeding and reckless driving and yet at 4am you'd kind of sort of assume but not the case anyways as always i hope you
