Hoover is known for purchasing cars he refers to as "hoopties," typically originally high-priced sports cars that have heavily depreciated and vintage luxury vehicles in questionable operational condition — then repairing, demonstrating, and eventually selling the vehicles.[2][dead link]
Hoover often jokingly refers to his channel as "The dumbest automotive channel in all of YouTube" at the start of videos.
