The Camry brought the biggest new audience, but a turbocharged Yaris and a welding tip are keeping Mighty Car Mods' workshop busy too. Marty and Moog posted eight uploads, with their used-Toyota-versus-new-EV comparison approaching 300,000 views.
That comparison has also become a small gathering place for Camry memories. One viewer recalls borrowing a showroom car for prom and checking outside the window to hear whether its quiet engine was running. Another remembers childhood school pickups in a neighbor's Camry. Between those recollections, viewers keep pointing to Moog's Prince-style guitar appearance. Practical family transport does not usually come with this much musical discussion.
Elsewhere, "WAGON SUPREMACY" makes the useful case that a wagon can carry an engine, while "Welding Vision Tip" puts eye protection on the short-form agenda. The welding upload is now drawing more daily views than the Camry comparison. Just above it is "How We Killed a YARIS with a TURBO," whose description fondly calls the engine-swapped, boosted project Yaris Hilton.
Across the channel, daily views are running about a third above their usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby in motoring, Jay Leno's Garage is enjoying a stronger-than-usual daily audience, while TheStradman is quieter than its norm.
For MCM, the week's range remains pleasingly specific: testing a cheap daily driver, finding room to haul an engine and remembering what happened when a high-mileage Yaris got a turbo.

My uncle worked for Toyota when the Camry came out.. On my prom night, he arranged a brand new metalic blue Camry from the showfloor for me for the evening... I remember sticking my head out the window to make sure it was running... it was so quiet!
@poepflaterSee it on YouTubeAre we going to pretend we didn’t see Moog dressed as Prince?
@caban755See it on YouTubeThe XV10 V6 Vienta was my first car ever. V6 Toyota's have a special place in my heart.

My folks have a camry. They purchased it from the neighbour. The neighbour got it brand new as a company car. I remember the drives in this car when i was 7 years old. My neighbour picked us up from school. That was 32 years ago. Magic!
