Team Gutty strikes again -- Wagon Attack 2

Wow, that is flat out the best vid I've seen. It may not be as fancy as KB's Gymkhana vids, but it tells a story and in my view is much better. These guys should be employed to make the mythical American Top Gear. I'll offer myself up as either James or Jeremy :)

Couple of Q's. How strong is the trans and transfer case in those old Honda's, that's a lot of abuse they were handing out.

As for the test hill at Silver lake, a bone stock 93 Geo Tracker with 110k mile on it can make it up with two adults and two kids, but not at the right hand end they were referring too. It doesn't need good conditions though, I only have about a 50% success rate.

why did i watch that video? Now heading over to Craigslist to look for a Civic Wagon. Thanks!

video made autoblog

Damnit. I like your wagon, but I have been trying to find a reasonably priced Realtime wagon for over a year now. Now it will never happen.

Really trying to sell it for $800? I'll buy it today! (serious )

Wait one more week for more 1nt4rw3b acclaim. Put car on eBay. Profit.

In reply to poopshovel:

Sell to Ken Block for use as a cameo appearence in his next video.

Very, very nice footage/editing. I second the Top Gear comments. Cool to see somebody do something unique/different using what is obviously a lot of talent. We need more of this focused on automotive-type shows! All the ones I watch now are from the UK (TG, Wheeler Dealers, etc.)

so proud of my lovely buddies.

my brother and i had the priveledge of running too much boost into that stock motor. (18 psi). i cant believe it took it as long as it did. HOURS AND HOURS of boost. it burns all 4 from a standstill. its not a light car.

matt did SUCH a good job with the video too. (the silly booze swilling buddy that organized the 40 man cannonball at the Challenge)

Great video, your Honda put Ken Block to shame!

that is very cool...now you guys make me want to find a video edioting class and learn how to make asome videos also..... but the way this has to be menyioned in the magazine. this video is just really cool.

Thats an awesome video. Its too bad those wagons are already beyond what a normal person would pay here ($3k for a 250k miles 2wd automatic is normal). Otherwise i think that would have convinced me to get one. And I dont even like hondas at all. lol

Awesome, simply awesome.

Your E36 M3ting me? Where are you, that's just nucking futs

Please see the page before this and you will see a craiglist ad for $1,600 a 180k mile 5 speed version.

The word is spreading. I just did a google search on "wagon attack" and a huge amount of pages show up. Mostly auto-forums but seems like some film making stuff as well.

Go Wagon Attack!
Go Gutty!

I remember somebody on this forum told me my $300 LeMons Impreza was bogus because Imprezas cost $4k where he was at (?!?). I think some people just remember the highest they've seen one priced for sale and assume that's what they go for. It's important to remember that seeing something for sale for X price does not mean that it will sell at X price.

+1. Another example- my GTV (the gold one you see in my avetar) is worth somewhere around $10-15k, but I know where I can get a '71 for $1000. I've seen GTV's sell for $25k, and I have had two shells given to me.

Based on Gutty's team performace, not only do I belive the cash outlay, I also am still amazed by the quality of work on both the video and the car. Very awesome.

Excert from the first add..."I put in more than $10k in the car over the past few years. The car is very reliable"

Must resist calling Eric, must resist....... AARRrgggghhhhhhhhh

That video is on par with work coming out of large studios. I'm incredibly impressed. You guys should be doing that type of work for a living.

Seriously.

Um, you guys should also be telling me if you're serious about selling it. I'll move my Focus tomorrow if that's the case. Tho' I imagine the magic of the intronets has made your original $800 offer pretty well moot at this point.

Not selling the wagon any more.

Need to make Wagon Attack 3.

Damn. Well I'm going to keep looking for a wagon, and if you need others in the next attack video I'm there.

Great vid! I've now seen it pop up on just about every forum I visit.

Makes me miss my old wagon a bit.
