This man has a $2.2 million car garage, and while he loves each and every one of them, he admits it might be the world’s ‘dumbest car collection’.
Kansas-based YouTuber Tyler Hoover is the proud owner of 25 cars – each of which is used, very used, or outright broken.
What’s even crazier?
He funded the entire collection thanks to YouTube views – except for one car which was a special gift from his grandma.

Man owns the world’s dumbest car collection
Hoover documented the collection on his YouTube channel, Hoovies Garage, during which he said maintaining the cars was a full-time job, because many needed repairs or, at the very least, a jump-start.
From a 1985 Mercedes 500 SL, gifted by his grandmother, to a purple Porsche 911 picked out by his daughter, each car comes with a story.
And just like this collection owned by a woman in the UK, he admits it’s a bit quirky.
One of the wildest cars in the garage is a 1999 Plymouth Prowler, bought as the cheapest one in the US at just $15,600.
It featured a bonded aluminum chassis and some retro styling that made it both fun and affordable.
Then there was a high-mileage Ferrari 348 with a funky interior design and a restored 1966 Mustang Fastback packing a supercharged engine.
Tyler loves his ‘dumb collection’
Then there were some cars that had been sitting abandoned for months, while others, like a Porsche Cayenne S with a repaired engine, were slowly being brought back to life.
Tyler joked about being a ‘slave’ to his possessions, spending hours maintaining and trading cars daily.
After all, owning the ‘world’s dumbest car collection’ is not an easy thing to do.
