Online automotive personalities Ed Bolian, Tyler Hoover, and Freddy ‘Tavarish’ Hernandez share their adventures with more than 3.8 million YouTube subscribers.

Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 2, 2020 – AutoTempest.com, the innovative car shopping website that scours the most popular sites and conveniently compiles your search results for easy and simple browsing, has partnered with the popular YouTube show “Car Trek,” challenging hosts Ed Bolian, Tyler Hoover and Freddy ‘Tavarish’ Hernandez to find the best-depreciated supercar.

According to AutoTempest.com CEO and Founder Nathan Stretch, this extends the “Car Trek” relationship that dates back to the show’s first season when AutoTempest challenged the hosts to use AutoTempest to find and purchase their dream cars without spending more than the price of the all-new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette.

This new five-episode season officially kicks off on Monday, Oct. 5, 2020, when the first show will appear on the Tavarish YouTube channel. Episodes two, three, and four will appear on the Tavarish channel on Oct. 7, 9, and 12, respectively, with the hosts revealing the most successful depreciated supercar in the fifth episode, the series finale, on Wednesday, Oct. 14. In advance of the season two release, fans can watch a feature-length recap of the first Car Trek season on the Hoovies Garage YouTube channel.

After the hosts reveal the ‘winner’ of best-depreciated supercar challenge in the “Car Trek” finale, the ‘losers’ will put their steeds up for sale via the AutoTempest.com shopping site. After the conclusion of the first “Car Trek” season, Bolian’s for-sale listing on AutoTempest for his 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder garnered more than 50,000 views.

“In the end, no one really loses in this competition,” Stretch said. “The two cars that aren’t selected as the best-depreciated supercar will most likely find new owners who will enjoy each car’s unique histories, the show hosts will have had a brief but very memorable period of ownership, and the viewers can follow their trials and triumphs, and hopefully learn a bit about AutoTempest.com too.”

Las Vegas, supercar track testing, interesting challenges, and good fun

The new season takes place in Las Vegas and begins with the “Car Trek” hosts introducing the supercars they found through AutoTempest: Bolian’s 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish, Hoover’s 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, and Hernandez’s 2003 Maserati Coupe GT. Following AutoTempest’s direction, they put each car through various track tests and challenges, deal with issues uncovered before and during testing, assess each car’s build quality, and expose their rides to ‘person on the street’ opinions and professional appraisals.

Bolian, Hoover, and Hernandez share a love for cars and car culture and chronicle their passions on their respective YouTube channels. Their fans obviously approve, as evidenced by each channel’s immense number of subscribers. Combined, the “VINwiki,” “Hoovies Garage” and “Tavarish” YouTube channels reach more than 3.8 million subscribers.

“We’ve worked with each of these guys individually, sponsoring solo videos on each of their YouTube channels,” Stretch said. “So, when they came to me with the idea of a collaboration, I was immediately excited about what we could do. And, if anything, it’s exceeded expectations. They have great chemistry and are often hilarious – just what we need right now. And I love that we can be part of creating this awesome series, while hopefully demonstrating how AutoTempest can help people find their next dream car – whether it’s a heavily depreciated supercar, a daily driver, or something in between.”
