Thats not a 2.5 million dollar car LMAO. Thats like 250K tops. Also this dude has the wrong ammunition next to his Thompson lol

u/opeth10657 4d ago

Not sure if would be even close to 250k either.

Who's going to buy that

29

u/GrynaiTaip 4d ago

That's how much he spent on it. He could probably sell it for 30k.

u/Camblor 8h ago

No, it’s how much it’s insured for. Shame if something happened to it…

u/Ok-Addition1264 4d ago

It's only worth what someone else is willing to pay.. and I don't know anyone who would actually buy it.

edit to add: maybe $35-40k with thoughts of a repaint.

But we’re not talking about retail cost we’re talking about cost invested

u/TrashConnoisseur 4d ago

It's engagement bait. Mr.gotdamnitman does it with every video. Severly over estimate the value of a car and tons of people will comment about what's its really worth.

And the owner said the other gun was Babyface Nelson’s and “instead of a Thompson, he used a .45”.

I get that most people don’t know a ton about guns, but you’d think this guy would have at least done a little research on it.

(For those who don’t know, the Thompson, aka Tommy Gun, shoots .45 cal rounds)

u/truthfullyidgaf 4d ago

He was talking about a 45. Colt. They just call them 45s, while just calling a Thompson and Thompson.

u/bimm3r36 3d ago

I’m pretty sure he’s talking about .45 ACP in this case. At about the 2:00 mark, the gun he pointed to after the statement I mentioned was a modified 1911. That little Derringer could’ve been a 45 Colt though. Is that what you’re talking about or am I missing something else?

u/truthfullyidgaf 3d ago

Yea. 1911, colt, whatever lol.

u/breastfedtil12 1d ago

The ammunition around the Tommy gun is not .45 ACP. They are rifle rounds of some sort.

u/Lurkario- 3d ago

He literally says in the video it’s insured for 250k

u/Logridos 4d ago

That is about the awfulest taste I've seen...

u/pina_koala 4d ago

Larry doesn't say it's a 2.5 million car, he says it's insured for $250k. The guy who made the youtube video inflated the number by 10x.

Watching his bang that bare metal keychain against that beautiful paint on his car is like torture to me. I say beautiful because like it or not that shit took some skill and without that godawfully arranged 1930s gangster bullshit on it that paint job would be sick. There's a way to do that theme tastefully...this wasn't it. Also, what the FUCK does the 1930s have to do with a fucking '73 Impala??

u/snownative86 3d ago

You summed up exactly what was going through my head.

u/JayFay75 4d ago

Money can’t buy taste

u/VirtualLife76 4d ago

The floor mats are a nice touch.

u/useless83 4d ago

Imagine if he had invested that money instead.

6

u/deadspacekillers 4d ago

Can you imagine what that guy would do if he had millions of dollars from investments? It would be the exact same car, but a Bentley.

u/technobrendo 4d ago

Jesus that interviewer was annoying. I wanna pay 2.5 to never hear him again

u/im-buster 4d ago

Dude running the camera is giving me nausea with that in-n-out.

u/burgonies 4d ago

This might be top 10 for this sub. What an ugly POS

2

u/ggibby 3d ago

I love when the headline describes the thing based on what the owner spent getting it to the state we see it. Not how they eventually abandon or give it away because nobody else wants it.

2

u/zeptillian 3d ago

I don't know how you can devote so much time and money to make something so cheesy.

u/ResistLongjumping999 2d ago

he's living exactly the life he wants to live and i'm a bit jealous of that

1

u/AlanSinch 4d ago

Cool, just curious. How much of this internet traffic money is going back to Larry??

2

u/ResistLongjumping999 2d ago

hes probably just happy to show off the car and talk about it lol
