# Regular Friends: Dryane and Kei.

> Source: [Regular Friends: Dryane and Kei.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=wipjrLsX7Ew)

## Summary

In this podcast-style livestream of 'Regular Friends,' Brian, Drain, K, Holly, and Numis engage in freewheeling conversation covering personal finance advice, car purchasing tips, automotive knowledge (including Honda HR-V, Subaru, and the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo giveaway), a humorous debate about crepes, and behind-the-scenes stories like a van restoration saga and a visit to a convention. The tone is casual, comedic, and community-oriented.

### Key Points

- **Budget Car Advice** [01:58] — Brian advises someone with $7k to buy a $5k Toyota Camry from 2006 or older with 150k miles, as it will last another 100k miles.
- **Honda HR-V vs Civic** [03:36] — Brian explains the HR-V is essentially a 'Civic on stilts' – a tall wagon crossover with similar fuel economy, but the HR-V gets slightly better mileage.
- **Investment Advice for $100k Earner** [14:14] — Brian suggests splitting $50k liquidity: half into an IRA with Vanguard mutual funds (VO symbol), and buying Apple and defense contractor stocks (Lockheed Martin, L3 Harris, Rockwell Automation, Huntington Ingalls).
- **Lexus GX 460 Endorsement** [22:05] — Brian strongly endorses the Lexus GX 460 for reliability, saying 'Love it. Fantastic. Buy it.'
- **Crepe Dislike Dialogue** [29:16] — Drain recounts a heated argument with a friend named Jensen, who says he 'can't stand crepes' because he believes people only like the filling, not the crepe itself. The debate extends to sandwiches and tacos, eventually revealing Jensen actually dislikes the people he associates with crepes, not the food.
- **Suzuki GS450L Motorcycle Review** [42:33] — Brian describes the 1981 Suzuki GS450L as a 'grandpa bike' with poor handling and brakes, but notes the GS500 is a better, more modern version. He recommends it as a good first bike.
- **Toyota Starlet GT Turbo Giveaway Details** [63:23] — Brian announces the giveaway for a 1995 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo, a 165hp, 2,000-pound hot hatch with a 1.3L engine, banana exhaust manifold, and aftermarket intercooler. Entrants buy limited-edition merch at fanothem.com/regularcars to win.
- **Rental Car Swapping Lore** [78:00] — The group discusses urban legends of swapping parts from rental cars to fix personal cars, noting that during high-pressure times (like inclement weather at O'Hare), rental companies may not inspect returns thoroughly.
- **Private Jet Discussion** [90:44] — Brian talks about the Dassault Falcon 50X with three engines, the Honda Jet, and the PC12 turboprop, noting the PC12 can be flown solo with a private pilot's license and costs around $2.7 million used.
- **Van Procurement and Repair Story** [104:41] — Drain recounts buying a 2006 Ford E250 van from a friend who didn't deliver on time. After months of delays and extra rental costs, they flew to Georgia, diagnosed a rubbing wire harness, fixed it, and drove it back with a school chair as a temporary seat.
- **Zero Electric Bike Experience** [127:31] — Brian describes riding a Zero electric motorcycle from Wellington to Masterton, New Zealand. He enjoyed the torque and regen but faced range anxiety, needing to recharge at a public station. He argues electric bikes are overpriced for the range and that scooters are more practical for city commuting.
- **Starlet as a Driver's Car** [152:51] — Brian emphasizes the Starlet is meant to be driven hard—hit the limiter in every gear—and that it's more fun than high-horsepower cars like an R32 GTR. He encourages the winner to track it, not garage it.

### Conclusion

The livestream captures Regular Car Reviews' unique blend of humor, practical car advice, and community interaction, highlighted by the Toyota Starlet giveaway and the entertaining crepe debate.

## Transcript

How you doing?
>> How you doing?
>> I am car.
>> Yeah, that's me.
>> Talis.
>> Help me out.
>> Help me out.
>> Very tall red thing.
>> Very tall red. Oh, Palace. Okay. How you
doing, man? I haven't seen you forever.
I have to get my hands inside my fingers
so I can uh articulate them. Good.
Hello.
>> You're car.
>> I am car bird. Yes. Notice immediately
what I did when that person said, "Are
you car bird?" I immediately put my back
to the nearest wall because one of the
things I will never ever ever do
is block choke points. Like if I want to
stand and people want to talk to me, I'm
never going to do it where people are
walking. I'm going to go to a big open
area.
>> Excuse me.
>> How you doing?
>> You may if you follow me.
>> Yeah. See, the guy wants a picture. And
what I'm not going to do is be more
cholesterol in the artery of life. So,
uh,
>> so we're going to be going outside.
Thank you for coming outside. I just
wanted to be cool for a second. Right
here. Good
>> guy doesn't want me to be poor.
>> That's right. I don't want you to be
poor. I
>> car to get right now for like for
leasing.
>> You want to lease a car?
>> Why is that?
>> Because I don't have enough money to buy
a car.
>> How much money do you How much money do
you have to put down on a car?
>> Um I have like 7K in my account.
>> Okay.
>> And I have my too. So,
>> all right. Have your parents agreed to
help you buy a car?
>> Yeah,
>> they said that.
>> Yeah, they will help you.
>> They said that. They didn't imply that.
>> Okay. Well, then the answer is
to buy you put down two.
Your parents maybe put down two or three
if they can. And that gets you a $5,000
Toyota Camry from
uh any year uh pre207,
like 2006 and older, you find one in a
nice neighborhood and for one that has
like 150,000 miles, you just bought a
car that will go another 100,000 miles
for the price of a nice computer.
>> That's cool.
>> Yeah, that's that's what you buy. That's
what you do. Hello. I remember you from
Furry Weekend Atlanta.
>> Yeah.
>> And then I forgot about you later. You
We were talking out of suit or I was out
of suit. You were in suit.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. How you doing?
>> Good. How are you? We're all in that one
chat together. I see.
>> Yeah. That one deluxe chat together.
Hello. Who's this?
>> Uh silent suitor.
>> Were we in a video together before?
>> Did I talk to Did I reference you as a
silent suitor? You did. Ooh, powerful
arms. I like that. I like that. Thank
you. Wow.
Someone goes to the gym.
>> I have a 2012 Civic.
>> You have a 2012 Civic?
>> I play hockey.
>> You play hockey?
>> Yes. So, I need to have trunk space for
hockey gear. And I want good gas
mileage.
I'm thinking
the the HRV or one of the older CRVS.
>> Okay. So, you want a small SUV? Yeah.
>> To replace your Civic.
>> Yeah.
>> Um you are going to get worse gas
mileage no matter what you do.
>> Right.
>> Um when it comes to I I love that like
Door Dash delivery guy just looking at
me.
>> Sean the Honda HRV
is a Honda Civic uh wearing me up boots
and that is you know it's a Civic on
stilts.
>> Okay. So, the HRV, I believe, will get
better mileage. Um, it it's it calls
itself an SUV. It kind of isn't. Think
of it more like a tall wagon crossover
thing,
>> right? And that that's kind of what
we're looking for.
>> Okay. You So, you don't need like drive
in snow, drive over.
>> That would be nice cuz I'm the curb
killer, killer of curbs.
>> Um,
>> then like if you curb, you're going to
want an older tire that has more
sidewall that you can do that to and not
wreck your wheels.
um which would mean like an older CRV or
RAV 4. However, you go that you're going
back and you're not going to get the
same kind of mileage that you will with
an HRV.
>> This is going to require some homework
on your part.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Uh you're going to have to take all your
gear with you and talk to the owner if
you're doing Facebook Marketplace or
talk to the dealer if you're doing used
cars. Um and just and just be upfront
about it. I'm a hockey player. May I put
all my gear in the car to see how it
fits before we do anything? If they say
yes, great. If if they go, "Well, I'm
gonna have to ask my boss." Click, you
know. Okay. You're immediately wasting
my time.

other side of the camera right now.
Camera bird. I mean, Mary, if you want
to go and just like walk around a little
bit, I'm gonna I'm just going to stay
here. Oh, I feel bad that you're just
standing there and we aren't like
circulating or or doing
>> Like I said, I'll probably just be in
suit for like an hour total now,
>> right?
>> Oh my god.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, thank you.
>> I ever I see your videos, I'm like, I

There we go.
>> Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome.
>> How do you stay warm? Where is it?
>> Dude, what what do you mean how do I
stay warm?
>> You don't wear anything under it?
>> Oh, I'll wear um I'll wear the normal
base layers while skiing in fursuit. And
then I'll put on some like hiking like
real like like synthetic hiking track
pants to help cut wind. And then
underneath this, I'll wear just like a
fleece because this is pretty much the
top is pretty much the jacket. What I
mean, I could sometimes I'll put a
puffer jacket on underneath it. That
makes it very very warm, especially at
the base of the mountain. I'm actually
start sweating is bad. And then once I
get on the lift, it's like correct
again. Um, but yeah, the only really I
mean I told Mary the only really parts
of this particular suit that get cold
when I'm skiing is just the area between
here and the top of the boot. So that
area around the knee gets a little
chilly. But yeah,
>> birds
carak
nuzzles.
Can I get a picture? Of course you can.
Yeah.
>> Perfect. Thank you so much.
>> Thank you.
>> How you doing?
>> I have a question.
>> Yes.
>> What do you think about the Lexus GX
460?
>> Love it.
>> Love it.
>> Okay.
>> Fantastic. Lexus.
>> Reliable, right?
>> Yep.
>> Okay.
>> Great. Good. Buy it.
>> There's something right there. Thank you
very much.
>> Hi.
>> Huge fan of your content.
>> I'm a huge fan of your content, too.
Dude, is that guy over there? Like, look
behind you really quick. Is that guy the
shadow?
>> Black.
>> Oh, wait.
>> I think he was a mysterious stranger.
>> Oh, okay. Are they a sparkle dog or a
sparkle cat?
>> Oh, sparkle dog.
>> Sparkle dog.
>> Okay. Is that a real perfecto jacket?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Hell yeah. Awesome.
>> That's phenomenal. I got to wear it out
to special occasions.
>> Do you ride?
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah.
>> Oh, cool. What do you have?
>> Uh, Indian FTR 1200. But I I do want to
say you have been a positive influence
in my life. I did not finance a fursuit
because of the video you made.
>> Thank you for not financing one of these
things.
>> I like to think I'm a good person. Um
but when you see an opportunity in the
market to like make money off of things
that are going to happen anyway.
>> Yeah.
>> Buying like like betting on oil futures
in the current political climate.
>> Okay. Futures. Now we're into Now we're
into advanced stuff. Yeah. Um,
>> I know nothing about futures. Like I'm
just I people at work are yapping about
oil futures and I'm like, "Oh, that
sounds kind of morally unethical." But
like I do also like making money
quickly. So it's like
>> Yeah. When you get into futures, th this
is where the people who say that
investing is gambling.
This is where they can kind of make a
point because when we're talking about
futures,
we're deep into speculation. Now, I've
given this answer before. What do I
think about futures? I wouldn't
>> Okay,
>> for again, not a financial adviser. I'm
a guy in a bird costume. Don't play with
more money than you can shove up your
ass and pull out again and just throw
away.
>> Yeah.
>> Um you can
>> liquidity like
>> if it will How much sleep would you lose
if this just disappeared?
>> Yeah,
>> because that absolutely can happen
>> because I'm trying to keep like 10 to 20
liquid out of my portfolio.
>> Great. Great.
>> And like the they keep yapping. So, I'm
like, "Oh, I really want to like
>> I mean, if you want to take that chance,
I've took a lot of chance. I made I made
some great moves to to be honest. I I
don't mess with futures. I I don't do
it. I I'm in it for the long term."
>> Yeah.
>> But a nice compromise would be to
whatever security these are attached to,
like just
>> I'll be with you a sec. Say, let's talk
Chevron or any sort of Exxon Mobile.
Yeah. You're talking about oil. Well,
even though that's refining, buy some of
that as a hedge against what you're
doing, the actual security and the rest
of it. Take whatever amount of money you
are about to do and cut it in half. Take
half of it, buy that security, and then
around with the rest.
>> I already did that.
>> You rule. You rule. You're smart. As my
friend's dad said, "Hey, that ain't no
hat rack."
>> Appreciate it.
>> It's good stuff. Thanks for holding the
camera. Yeah.
>> Hi.
>> Thanks so much.
>> Hello, silent suitor.
>> Uh, help me out. Uh, anybody can
translate this?
>> Are you playing the music or is that
someone else?
>> Oh, that's it.
>> Oh, that is
all right. Respect TBS. Awesome. I'm New
Jersey right?
>> New Jersey. No. Go Birds. No, I'm
Pennsylvania. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> But yeah, Jersey Devils. But in
Pennsylvania, we wholeheartedly
recognize the sovereign state of New
Jersey and their weird uh gas laws that
I that I hate. Pump your own gas. But
generally, yes, New Jersey, I like. And
uh I spent a lot of happy summers in OCJ
down there down there on Cape May.
>> Yeah.
Yep. And also, yeah, it's my favorite
pizza down there. The Mano Manco pizza.
It's nostalgic for me, but I love it.
And also, to be honest, my my friends in
the five burrows will hate me for say
this, but honestly, New Jersey pizza is
better than New York City.
>> Thank you.
>> You're welcome.
>> Thank you. Hope
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Oh, watch the beak, dude.
>> I'm so sorry.
>> You're You're good, man.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Yep. I need to make a finance bird thing
where I really break down the basics of
what futures are and the risks
associated with that. Um,
>> how you doing?
>> Photo of you guys.
>> Of course, we can have a photo together.
Yay.
>> Can I put the light on? It's a bit
bright. Is that okay?
>> Yeah, go ahead. It'll be fine. All I
have to do is close my eyes. It's not
like these eyes closed.
>> I wonder if he has like a lens on that.
>> A lens for that. The purple light.
Or maybe he's just getting like creative
with it.
>> Oh, that's so cool.
>> Oh, do you have like a filter on that?
>> Uh, no.
>> To compensate. Oh, YOU'RE JUST
>> IT'S RAW.
>> OH, LOOK WHO IT IS.
>> HELLO.
>> HELLO. OH, HEY.
>> We're doing this like this. Stream is
starting now.
>> Stream is starting now. And we are
pausing.
We are pausing. A&E. Uh, welcome
everybody. Thank you so much for
watching stream on cruise control. We
were downstairs uh fixing ourselves some
beverages.
We have a whole crew here.
and some of us are on the floor. We got
two mics to work with. So, around the
room, uh there's myself, uh Brian. I run
the show, uh Regular Car Reviews. Uh
immediately on the floor is Kay, our
resident mechanic for everything. Uh,
one of the only people I know who knows
how to work on rotaries.
Um, next to K in the yellow hoodie that
is Drain, the chair of Furry Delia and a
number of times out of the year my boss.
Um, and then our new friend that we met
last night,
>> Numis.
>> Numis or Conan from Charlotte, North
Carolina. So
>> from Charlotte, North Carolina and
rounding out uh on the far out of frame
a little bit. There you are. Uh Holly or
Halit depending. So
>> Holly Kate.
>> So uh we need to get I'm just going to
I'm just going to keep this rolling up
there.
Now, as we go through this uh show, um
as because we're on YouTube and we have
to abide by YouTube's rules. We can
curse as much as we want, but
uh we cannot show porn. So, when it
comes time to pulling stuff up, we have
to make sure we know what we're pulling
up. I usually just default to Instagram
because you can't put porn on Instagram.
U Mr. E says, "No, Roman." No, Nick is
uh Nick is working on his video that's
going up next Sunday. So, he's not here
right now. And also, he lives a ways.
It's been a while since Nick and I have
done a podcast together, but we will
again. Oh, and Tyler Pres. Already a
question for K. Um, can you ask Kay if
he knows my why my Lexus ES 350 vibrates
under acceleration? I had my CV axles
looked at, but they're straight inner
and outer. My My first thought is just
start with tire balancing. What do you
think?
>> Well, it depends. If it's
>> you got to you got to put the mic up to
your mouth.
If it's specifically under acceleration,
then it's probably just something with
the drivetrain. Unless it could be ES
350 would be like the Silera V6. Those
things chew motor mounts up.
>> Oh. So, if the motor's rocking forward
and like contacting anywhere or like
binding the exhaust against the body,
>> but if it's just a general vibration,
then it's tires.
>> Okay.
>> Most likely.
>> Yeah.
>> Going up and down. So, when we were down
at the bar fixing our drinks for the
show, we were talking about the crepe
crash out that was happening over at
your house earlier today.
>> Yesterday. All right. Yeah. So, I was
asked to provide context and I said, "Do
you want to save this for the podcast?"
And the answer was yes. So there's a new
there's a new thing that occurred uh at
my house which is now referred to as the
drain crepe crash out.
>> So I had kind of a long and stressful
weekend. Uh, I'll spare you all the
details, but it was Sunday. The snow was
coming down and I was trying to relax
and I was just a little bit at my wit's
end,
>> just trying to decompress. And people
started talking about uh I have no idea
how it came to be, but we started
talking about
food and breakfast food. And it was
mentioned that our friend Jensen
>> Yeah,
>> Jensen is a guy, by the way, who looks
like a thin version of Andrew WK.
>> He looks like Neo
>> if Neo
>> Neo worked If Neo worked at GameStop.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> He looks at Neo. He looks like Neo if
Neo uh worked for um Geek Squad.
>> Yeah. So, the words out of this that
came out of this man's mouth were, and I
quote, "I can't stand crepes."
>> Uhhuh.
>> And for some reason
that just like baffled me.
>> Baffled me. Sent me into a tizzy. I was
like process. So, to me, words and word
choice are something that I think about
a lot. Mhm.
>> And when people say things, I like to
consider the weight of their words that
they said. So, it wasn't, "Oh, I don't
like crepes or like, I'm not a big crepe
fan or this or that." No, I can't stand
them. I cannot stand them. And I just
was like sitting there like, and I just
got really mad. I was like, not like
mad, it was very funny, but I was like,
I was like, let me get this straight.
Mhm.
>> Whole world of horrors and atrocities
going on. And the thing that you can't
stand
>> is a [ __ ] crepe.
>> You're in a restaurant, someone orders a
crepe, you got to leave.
>> You your vision turns red and you want
to murder them because they ordered a
[ __ ] crepe. And I'm sitting there
like, I need you to explain to me why
you can't stand them. like and everyone
at this point everyone in the room is
laughing because when I get mad it's
really funny and he's just explaining
he's like he the the reason he doesn't
like crepes he's like I don't like them
because no one likes the crepe itself
they just like the stuff that's in it.
M.
>> And that explanation just made it way
worse cuz I was like, "Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, hold on, wait. Do you
like sandwiches?" Cuz that's like
saying, "I don't I don't like I don't
like sandwiches because no one likes a
sandwich because of the bread. They just
like the stuff that's in it." Or like,
"I hate tacos because no one likes
tortillas on their own. They just like
the stuff that's in it." Mhm.
>> Or like, "Oh, I don't eat anything that
with baking soda because baking soda by
itself tastes nasty and so you don't
like I'm like, so let me get this
straight. Like every if you're eating
food, every individual ingredient of
that food has to taste good to you
>> or else even if the end result doesn't
finish." And then he's just like, "Well,
people just people just get it. They
they put it's the stuff they put in it.
Like all they don't actually want a
crepe. all they want is a strawberry or
all they want is Nutella or all they
want is this or that and I was just like
the the more he tried to explain it just
the worse it got and cuz no I was like
there's no way you're for real there's
no way you're serious about this.
There's like an extended video of I'm
like yelling at him at the top of my
lungs. He's yelling back at me at the
top of his lungs. Everyone in the room
is just laughing. Calypso's on the
window sill not looking at
>> I think Calypso was like upstairs
knocked out. But so the the funniest
thing was like
>> he had it explained to him eventually
that like not all crepes are just like
strawberry crepe. Like not all crepes
are dessert. There's savory crepes.
>> Yeah.
>> There's salmon crepes. There's chicken.
I had chicken marsala crepes one time
that were really good. But it's just
this idea that like, oh, I the the fact
that the shell the the transport
mechanism isn't good on its own, which
by the way, crepes, empty crepes are
good on their own.
>> The fact that it's not good by itself
makes the whole thing not good.
>> At the end of it, I'm like, Jensen,
like, come on. Do you like don mustard?
And he's like, yeah, I love stuff with
don. I'm like, "Do you like like ham and
don sandwiches?" Ham and cheese. He's
like, "Yeah." Like, "Okay, well, pretty
much the only crepe I get is a ham,
cheese, and don crepe. It's like a
savory." He's like, "Oh,
they can be savory."
>> And I was like, "Yeah." He was like,
"Oh, yeah. I probably like that." And
that was like the end of it. That was
just
>> that was that was that was how it ended
because at that point, I was just tired.
>> It was like as you were walking
>> I was just like tired, dude. But oh my
god, I was just sitting there just
astounded. And the more he tried to
explain it, the worse he got. And
everyone was freaking out at him because
the explanation just didn't make sense.
And and again, I I just kept going off
about I'm like, you can't stand it. You
can't stand it. Crepes make you see red.
Crepes make you want to kill people. You
look at a crepe and it's like it just
kicked your puppy, stole your
girlfriend, and burnt your house down.
Like, that's how you feel about [ __ ]
crepe. And I I just got to the end and I
was like, "You must have such a simple
life. You must have such a simple life
that like the thing that you cannot
stand in this world is a [ __ ] thin
pancake." And then that just made him
worse because he was like, "Yeah, it's
literally just a thin pancake. Pancakes
are better." And I'm like, "You know
what? Pancakes are better is a valid
opinion. You're allowed to be like,
yeah, I prefer pancakes. I'm not going
to fight with you about that." But to to
not be able to stand them was just
insane. So, the moral of the story is
when you're speaking, choose your words
carefully.
>> Yeah.
>> And mean what you say because if you say
some [ __ ] around me, I will make you
explain your position and your
explanation better be good.
>> Yeah.
>> It's I'm just imagining him in West
Reading, Pennsylvania at those little
shops like next to that one bar that
where you just put that little like Dave
and Busters card into the tap and you
like select things and there's a crepe
shop there. He just goes in there with a
seeing a bunch of moms with those like
scarves around their necks and he just
starts throwing hands like uh like Bart
and Lisa fighting just like this.
>> Yeah.
>> Why he described he didn't like crepes?
Actually, he like almost used those
exact words.
>> Did you mention West Reading people? He
said he doesn't like the people.
>> He said mall like West Reading Mall,
white women going shopping and getting
crepes specifically. Yeah.
>> And I was like, "So, you don't you don't
you can't stand It's not that you can't
stand crepes, it's that you can't stand
human beings."
>> Mhm.
>> And that that was what we got to at the
end. Oh. Oh, well, well. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Yeah. That's what I thought.
>> We love Jensen.
>> Jensen's funny. Shout out to Jensen.
Stop being a hater of all the things
that are good.
>> Corner. Those are people who watching
the video. Uh uh that's Jackpot that um
make my thing a little better. Uh that's
the 3D artist that's making uh my VR
chat model for remote. So, um, and they
were also did a bunch of the art for,
um, uh, Anthro New England. Like that,
for those of people who went to Anthro
New England, up here in the corner, you
can kind of see an animation playing on
the big screen. Like, that was one of
the artists who made the animation.
Good. Good people. But yeah, crepes. I
love crepes.
>> And everyone loves crepes. Yeah,
>> everyone does.
>> Yeah,
>> I get like But I need like five of them.
Yeah. They never give you enough. No.
>> Yeah.
>> Um,
>> but ever since we've just been, everyone
has just been jump scaring Jensen by
like texting him pictures of crepes.
>> We printed out We Frey. Yeah, Frey
printed out a photo of crepes and was
shaking it in his face.
>> We have an excellent photo of him like
cowering in horror.
>> Off off Mike, tell me where it lives.
I'll go get some crepes and just put
them in his mailbox or something like
that.
>> That would be great. That'd be great.
You actually that would be insane. We
got to do that. We got to just We gota
>> He gets creped on the job.
>> Yeah. And we got to put a little note
that that's like we just creped on you.
>> Yeah. Watch out. This is creping Jensen
on the job.
>> Throw crepes at him out the window of a
vehicle.
>> I I wonder how much my DJI drone can
lift. Can like one one little binder
clip and like one crepe.
>> One crepe. Drop it on his head.
>> On his head. Drop it on him.
>> Yeah.
Oh, if this keeps going until um at if
this keeps going until furry like like
something will happen.
>> It'll roll.
>> Yeah. If
>> No, this is generational lore.
>> Yeah, we will be talking about Jensen
hating crepes for eternity. Hey, it was
exciting enough that Habs Habs was
videoing. That's how exciting this was.
>> True.
>> It was big.
>> Big news.
>> Habs doesn't doesn't whip out the camera
often.
>> And that was what was happening
yesterday while it was snowing.
>> Yep.
Uh Matt says, "I'm getting creped out."
Uh hello Maddo, our fixer from
Australia. Hello from Melbourne. He's
watching in Melbourne. Uh someone says,
"Crepes by mail. crept out uh crepe jump
scare address label and stamp on a well
done crepe straight in the US mail
system like freeze dried or something
like that.
>> No, he he lives local to us. We're just
going to leave them on his doorstep.
>> Nice.
>> My brother and I had a crepe making
competition. What' they say? My brother
and I had a crepe making competition on
New Year's Eve and they tasted the same.
Hard to [ __ ] up a crepe. Yeah. Yeah. All
you All you
>> The only way you can [ __ ] up a crepe is
by making it too thick because then
you've just made a pancake.
>> Yeah. You know what you do with a [ __ ]
up crepe? You eat it. Yeah. Uh, what's
up, Mr. Regular? Any opinions on the
1981 Suzuki GS450il?
I know what the 450L is. That's the
predecessor to the to the GS500. It's
the same engine that So, Suzuki, what
they did when they made the GS500 is
they bored out the 450 engine to like
487 cc's and called it a 500.
But the big thing about the GS500, it's
still like a very 80s design with like a
twin constant CV carburetors, but it has
a twin spar frame, like a hydroformed
great frame and an old style engine
that's, you know, whatever. But the
450il, I mean
I mean it it's it's a grandpa bike. It
the 450L is like fine, but it's like who
cares? It doesn't handle really well.
It's kind of It's got shitty brakes. The
GS500 is the better version of that.
>> What's What are you looking at?
>> I don't know. It's probably a really
good first bike. That sounds like a
first bike question to me.
>> Yeah. Uh someone else take my mic.
>> I'm gonna hold up what they're talking
>> like at your mouth. Like
>> it's about time I
producing hair.
>> I'm not a guy.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. The IIL sounds like a very area
specific like one of those weird
spin-offs.
>> Yeah. I mean, this is a bike.
>> This is a bike that I like so much I
bought it twice
just like my MR2.
Um, it's one of This is one of the first
Let me grab my mic. This is one of the
first videos I ever did for regular car
reviews. Um, this was my second
motorcycle. It's an air cooled twin. Uh
I've had the that engine apart. It was
the first time I ever did head gaskets.
The first time I ever rehoned cylinders.
Um I bought that little, you know, anal
expander thing with the not the one with
the balls on it, but the ones with the
the the three three chucks. I just
sprayed it up with the with lube and
just put him some uh and you know what?
When I was done, it ran exactly the
same. Like, all right. I guess my head
gasket was weeping oil. So, I'm like,
"Okay, change that." But, um, the the
[ __ ] up thing about this bike is that
since it's an 80s, it this type of
engine is meant to be is not meant to be
cradled like this in between a twin spar
frame. It's uh made to sit in sort of a
mono frame that goes over the top and
the bottom, kind of like your um your
radical death. And uh so, in order to
get at anything, you have to keep taking
that tank off. And the tank, you know,
sits in there. You got to lift it up and
then you got to get in there with half
of it up, turn the other. There's two
petcocks. There's one on the tank and
then there's the one you can actually
reach with your hand. So, there's two
different ones. The ones on the tank you
got a long screwdriver in and then just
turn it off there. So, then you can take
the tank off. It's not going to spill
anything. So, weird. Um, but it's a
fantastic handling bike. Super cheap.
Hard to find now cuz they all just
destroyed. They turned that thing into a
fairing version of itself, but they put
the fairing on, but still kept the
handlebars
and the uh the clamps. So, it's one of
these, it became one of these fairing
motorcycles where your gauges still turn
with your handlebars. And that's weird
on a fairing bike in my opinion. It's
like it's like if you're trying to do
bench press or something and and the
bench isn't aligned with the ceiling
tiles and it's off a little bit. So,
you're like lifting the bench at an
angle so everything is correct, you
know? So, that's kind of the thing.
>> I don't think you're supposed to be
lifting the bench when you bench press.
>> I'm at the bar. Yes. Yes. The bar.
>> Well, now I'm imagining you laying on
the floor
>> with the bench itself.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I had a I had a Joey Beism
there. And
>> that's some [ __ ] you see on New Year's
on January 2nd.
>> Yeah. Like uh that one artist um who um
>> Oh, I'm a Comfy Spot.
>> Yeah.
>> Comfy Spot.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Oh, what's that artist?
>> H it it'll come to me.
There was some uh artists who used to go
on uh
I used to watch all the time who every
every year they did a um New Year's Eve
or or New Year's Eve uh New Year's Day.
Everybody at the gym kind
>> everyone at the gym. Yeah.
>> Um
>> it's it's always January 2nd.
>> Yeah.
>> No one goes January 1st. They're too
hung over,
>> right?
>> Um I know ebikes aren't your thing.
They're not not When you said ebikes,
you mean electric motorcycles? Cuz I
rode an I rode a Zero once. I like it.
>> What did you think?
>> The second you get over like 40 miles an
hour, you forget that it's an electric
bike because the sound of wind just
normal. Yeah. I rode it uh from
uh Wellington to Mastaden. So,
um what was that? Don't worry about it.
Secret lore.
>> Real fart. Um
>> that's my name. The only two things that
I there's two things I can't get past
with electric bikes. The first is the
fact that or specifically with Zeros,
but all electric bikes. The first is
that I really don't want to spend
$25,000
>> on it and new.
>> Well, and second of all, the range is
like 80 miles.
>> Oh, it's [ __ ] It's total [ __ ]
>> So, you're going to spend 25 grand on a
bike that can go 80 miles? Like, what's
the point, you know?
>> Yeah.
All right. Like the thing I the thing I
don't understand about electric bikes
are motorcycles. Now this is like some
people are an exception but generally
for I feel like what 80% of the
motorcycle owner population a motorcycle
is not your everyday vehicle. No.
>> Right. Especially not in the US in the
east coast where we have winters.
Anywhere that has a winter motorcycle is
not your everyday. Yeah.
>> Unless you're
>> an outlier.
>> It's a So then it's a toy. Yeah.
>> Right. It's a non-essential mode of
transportation.
>> Yeah.
four four the people who dress up in
their special motorcycle clothes and the
Harley guys who get into the fake gang
clothes and right
>> I haven't thought about this
>> so like
so anyway but to your point drain
uh
>> this you're going to say
>> it's like you're taking a whole big
chunk of like part of riding a
motorcycle out of it part of it is like
getting gross on it,
>> you know, hitting [ __ ] having to
maintain it,
>> getting smudge on your left boot shoe
all the time,
>> breaking stuff, fixing it, like that's a
huge part of it. So, when you take that
out of something non-essential, it's
just like
>> it's like turning your toy thumb down.
>> Yeah. This was the route I took on the
zero from Wellington. In fact, it was a
little bit farther. The guy lived down
here by the airport, so it was more like
45 miles. And I drove it around
Wellington up through um
uh Patone
and then this was [ __ ] amazing. The
Rumataka pass
>> that ruled. Now that is where the
electric regen of the bike was amazing.
We're having torque. It was just corner
torque torque torque torque torque all
around.
Wait here. Uh,
oh wow, that that is what I wrote a zero
on.
Um, God, that was one of the best days
of my life, honestly. But then then I
got all the way to Mastaden.
Um, and then I'm like, "Oh [ __ ]
I need a charger. I'm not getting home."
So, I think we ended up at a Yeah. at
Woolworth or is there a Bunnings out
here? No, it probably was. They have
Woolworth and it but those it's like
it was somewhere around somewhere around
here and I had to go find a public
charger and and then I charged it up and
then I went to my friend's house who
lived near Carter and then yum yum yum
yum yum. I go back and then I got
ranging anxiety somewhere
I guess somewhere around here. Somewhere
after I got off the pass,
>> I had to go find a public charger,
charge it, then walk around for a little
bit for like an hour.
>> Yeah.
>> And then get on it back and then deliver
it back to the guy's house who lived uh
Yeah. He lived all the way he lived
around here by the airport.
I feel like
the building on what you said about
bikes being, you know, the like toys and
not being a commuter. I feel like
electric bikes to your point are the the
people that would most benefit from an
electric motorcycle is someone who is
using it as a commuter. And in my
experience, people who use motorcycles
in as commuter vehicles usually live in
cities.
And that is why the range being 80 miles
round trip doesn't matter because if
you're on your bike, the most that
you're really doing is going from, you
know, your apartment building. You're
wheeling it into the elevator of your
apartment building,
>> going down, going, you know, going three
miles
>> at the most through urban streets to get
to your job and then you go to the gym
and then you go to the grocery store and
then you go home and that's fine. But in
and and and and so I definitely think
that electric motorcycles as a concept
have their place. But in that condition,
I feel like these motorcycles,
specifically like Zeros and other sport
bikes that are electrified, you're
marketing the wrong thing to the wrong
person
>> because those people, you're going to
want your bike to have some kind of
storage,
>> which this bike doesn't. And you're not
going to want your thing to cost 25
grand. the fact that it costs that much
money, you are kicking yourself out of
the market that's going to want to buy
it. And also, finally, finally, there's
no reason that these bikes need to be
able to go 180 mph if you live in a
city,
>> you know?
>> Well, then that brings up the point like
just [ __ ] get a scooter, guys. Just
get a scooter. Get a [ __ ] scooter.
>> Just get a scooter. And and and and at
that point like, oh, I want an electric
bike. I want an electric bike. Dude, at
that point I a scooter is going to make
90 miles to the gallon. A 100cc scooter
is going to make a 100 miles to the
gallon. So So how much are you really,
>> you know? So the what I will say about a
motorcycle versus this is if you are a
city person, right, you live downtown in
Philadelphia and you use your electric
motorcycle to get around. If you have to
go to the suburbs, like, okay, I'm going
to the King of Prussia Mall or I'm going
to the airport.
You're not getting to the airport. If
you live in center city, you're not
getting to the airport on this thing.
>> No.
>> But you will get to the airport on your
on your motorcycle.
And that's all well and good except your
motorcycle costs 25 grand. And the
amount if you went and bought a $5,000
150cc scooter,
the amount of money you will spend in
that vehicle's lifetime on gasoline
would never amount to the 25 grand that
you spent on that bike.
>> Probably, you know.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And that one of the weird things
is like, okay, like these things go like
40 miles an hour, the the GT3, which is
plenty for center city, but this sort of
like getting to the I was looking at it
earlier today. The um the Honda K. And I
you you saw um one of these at uh uh
Monco Cycle Center. The
>> Trail 125.
>> The Trail 125.
>> Those are cool. And then we have the DAX
in the states now, which is like there's
the Dax on the right and then the trail.
>> Oh, the D where
>> the DAX is the blue thing.
>> Down up
>> that
>> that monkey. Yep. You can't get those.
They're all auto clutch now.
>> E,
>> they're all auto clutch, but they share
the same It's the same motor as the uh
with the the Grom.
>> Okay. When you say auto clutch, does
that mean it operates like a
four-wheeler where it's like slam
shifting?
>> It's Yeah, it's centrifugal. So, it just
comes on with RPM.
>> Oh. Oh, you don't shift at all.
>> No, you shift. It's a four-speed.
>> Okay. Four or five speed.
>> Four speed. No, it's a four-speed. But
you just get on the throttle and like
what? At like [ __ ] 2,000 RPMs, the
clutch starts to engage. Just slips
itself.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Okay.
>> It's perfectly fine if you're like,
>> "Yeah, those that's awesome. That's
awesome." And you know what? You buy
that thing, you buy that Trail 125, you
put 5,000 miles on it, you sell it for a
hundred bucks less than you bought it
for. Like they just don't depreciate.
>> No,
>> but you can't. But the but those things
um
>> so awesome.
>> Hunter, is that some different variant
on it? I mean,
>> these look like ripoffs.
>> I'm looking at ripoffs, aren't I?
>> I want to mess with one so bad.
>> Next.
>> Oh, plastic. Oh, it's a model. It's a
toy.
All right, top speed. What? What? What
do you got for me? And I'm not going to
read the AI.
Really? Really? We're getting nothing
here. Nothing.
>> On them.
>> Whoa.
>> 60.
>> Okay.
>> They'll get you anywhere you got to go,
especially in Pennsylvania. Well, you
can get them anywhere in the Atlantic
coastal plane, but these things wouldn't
work
uh back in Skooko County because the
second you see a hill, you're not going
60.
>> You're going like 45. And this guy's got
like a Pelican case on the back of his.
>> I don't know what he's think. Oh, he's
got two.
>> This guy is going somewhere.
>> Yeah,
>> that's kind of cool.
>> I mean, sick.
>> This guy's played Death Stranger.
>> The Oh, that You know what? He's not
wrong.
But for something like that, like that's
part of the fun of it. Like being
sometimes the limitation is the fun on
this kind of stuff.
>> True. Well, this you'd have to get to
Phil. You're not using the highway.
You're getting you're going maybe 20
maybe 202
>> down to city.
>> What makes you slow down and enjoy your
time?
>> That's true.
>> Stuff like this.
>> Stay in the right lane.
>> Just stay in the right lane and no one
has to get hurt.
>> If you ever have to spend some time on
something like this, it'll teach you a
lot. If you
>> if you put this thing in the left lane
of 202,
>> I'm running you over. I'm just running
you over. That's just happening.
>> Huh?
>> Me, too.
>> Yeah. I'm running you over, too.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Would you do it if I if I uh
>> I would especially do it if it was you.
>> If I got on this, got in the left lane,
and did the speed limit?
>> Ran over.
Ran. I'm running you over. I'm throwing
it in reverse. I'm backing over you and
then I'm throwing it into drive. I'm I'm
putting my rear wheels on your body,
pulling the parking brake, and just
revving it until there's nothing left.
I had I had in um college when I lived
off campus, I had a I'm I'm sure I'd
talked about this before. Um I don't
feel like watching this guy's video.
>> Zero just so we can see it.
>> Yeah, go ahead. You can just use it.
Yeah, I'm gonna tell a story. my um
uh
I had a Honda Elite 80. So they made the
Elite 50 and the Elite 80.
>> Cool ass scooter,
>> right? Cool. Fairing.
>> They they designed it in like ' 86 and
it ran until the 2002. Never designed
never change anything about it. Yep.
Yep.
>> So, um
>> 223 miles.
>> The funny thing was since mine was an 80
now, I already had a motorcycle license.
It didn't matter. But I'm like, "Oh,
people would have bought this." And like
if if a cop really wanted to have a bust
someone, they could say, "You need a
motorcycle license cuz it's over 49cc."
>> It had these little passenger
>> like little not really even foot pegs,
just like little plastic tabs that would
come down. I put my buddy on it once.
That thing was
two people up on an 80 cc scooter. Me
and my buddy John Waters when he had
his, we called it the chop shop. It was
a single bay garage he rented out behind
some lady's house. We
>> That thing has a twooost band pack lift
in it now. We lifted the ceiling of it.
But we had a
>> we had two different elites as like shop
run scooters cuz the shop didn't have a
bathroom.
>> And those were like the [ __ ] runners.
And we would
>> Dude, we would be going down the street
three people at a time on that thing. No
plate. Like I think we got it for like
250 bucks with no title.
>> Mhm.
>> Cool. Cool scooter, but yeah. Super
wiggly. Didn't they have those like
pressed wheels? They weren't like rims.
>> No, they were they were like wheelbarrow
wheels. And the front fork wasn't a
fork.
>> It was half of a fork.
>> Yeah. The mono and it just it just bent
thin wall steel that just went around.
>> Oh my god. I remember looking at that
thing when he was like, "Dude, you got
to come to the shop. I got something
great. I got a big addition." Mhm.
>> I remember seeing the front fork of that
thing and imagining like some of us
taking an inevitable spill on it.
>> Yeah.
>> So spooky. But
>> No. And the uh the spring is inside the
fork tube.
>> So weird cuz you can't see anything like
>> how does this not how does this
>> Yeah. How does this
>> um but I loved it little trunk. It's
frunk that opened in the front.
>> Like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Our latch
was broken. So you'd hit a speed bump
and it would go
Yeah. Oh gosh, I miss
>> Oh, I missed that thing.
>> I just want to say I like this. As far
as Zero Motorcycles go, I like this
thing. It It's It's looks super tiny.
>> It weighs 140 lbs.
>> Uh, can you give me a Blizzard hops from
the bar fridge downstairs? I think
there's one can left.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Thank you. And a bottle of water.
>> Okay.
>> Curb weight 140 lbs. Oh, really? Is that
Oh, that's dirt only. Yeah, but I think
it's cool.
>> It is cool.
>> I think it's cool. 140 lb, 50 mph top
speed.
>> God damn. Oh, that's
>> 4,400 bucks.
>> Yeah. 275
>> pound feet of torque.
>> Yeah.
>> No. 275 lb feet of Holy [ __ ] Okay. Cuz
it got a big [ __ ] sprocket in the
back. That's why. That's how you got
that. But
>> I like this thing. I think it's cool.
This thing's neat. I wonder I mean, so
that's the XE. So the FXE. Here you go.
Here's the street version.
>> Yeah.
>> Here's the street version of the same
thing. But look, I This [ __ ] pisses me
off so much. You threw mirrors on it and
multiplied the price by three. Gay.
Like, are you kidding me? You're like,
"Oh, the mirrors. Those are the world's
most expensive mirrors. $8,000 for these
mirrors." Gh. And the body kit. $8,000
for the body kit. And it's annoying
because this isn't bad. It's a cool
design. I dig it. But this is
objectively
a cooler design.
>> Put mirrors on this.
>> Yeah.
>> Give it mirrors. Give it turn signals.
>> Yeah. Look at it.
>> Oh, now the price is up. Now the price
is sick.
>> I hit I hit Oh, this is a different one.
>> Different one. 468 pound of God.
>> What?
>> What did I What did I click? What did I
do wrong?
>> It's like pointless.
>> Did I break it? Oh, this is it. The XB
versus the XE. So, the XB. So, this is
this is the uh this is the street
version of this thing.
But even still, now it's now it's
fighting me.
>> Now it's fighting me. But this thing
still 65 $6,500.
>> $6,500. It weighs 200, right? I It looks
so cool.
>> Mhm.
>> $468
footpounds of torque at the rear wheel.
Insane. throw turn signals and mirrors
and a license plate on that. Increase
that price by $100 for those things. And
I would buy a fleet of them. But yeah,
but you know, in order to we have to
know, we have to put a body kit on it
cuz everything has to look like a racer.
Everything has to look like it's a race
bike cuz if it doesn't look fast, then
it's not cool. And if you don't look
cool, then you're a loser.
>> And then uh in you know, double the
price.
>> Yeah. Casually.
>> Yeah.
>> Mad.
>> There's nothing to that. I I would love
to ride one of those things. Yeah.
>> Um, so hell classes are in three minutes
for me, so it's possible. Honda Cubs,
people talking about Honda Cubs in chat.
Sorry chat.
>> Rock.
>> Honda Cubs. Fukugen rock.
>> Honda Cub. Yes.
>> Okay.

taking this thing tomorrow going skiing.
>> It's a lot of fun to drive.
>> Yeah. Uh Drain drove it. Let me see.
>> K drove it.
>> Let me see that.
>> Yeah. Whoever gets this vehicle, I will
be jealous of them. It is very cool.
It's like I know there are some firstg
Speed 3 owners out there. Imagine a
firstg Speed 3.
>> It's cool. It's actually cool.
>> It handles just as well. way easier to
work on.
>> Just as quick because it weighs [ __ ]
two tacos and a feather.
>> 95 pounds.
>> Two tacos and a feather.
>> Yeah.
>> Um,
>> it's sick. It looks cool. It is cool. It
sounds good. What? It probably [ __ ] all
the time.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's a 1.3 L engine and
which is the stroked version correct
side drive bride racing seat uh tune on
it.
>> Uh mini disc head unit. Uh
>> multiple turbo gauges.
>> Yeah, two turbo gauges. It's got a stock
one and whoever modified this in Japan
has a aftermarket one.
>> Good vehicle. It's got a little banana
manifold which is sick.
>> Oh yeah,
>> the banana manifold is sick. It has a
different
>> You can't forget the banana. Can't
forget the banana
>> exhaust manifold. Uh, some people wanted
to be cute in the comments where I did
the comparison with yours. They're
saying, "Oh, with the Starlet, you put a
big intercooler on that. Now you now
it's not going to build boost as fast."
[ __ ] It builds boost.
>> No, the manifold makes up for it.
>> Yeah,
>> it's frontwheel drive. However, if you
were born with two arms, it doesn't
torque steer. Just hold the [ __ ]
wheel. No, that thing is super cool.
That is such a cool car. I will be
continuing to enjoy this every single
time. And uh although I do not know uh I
am not privy to who's going to win it,
but when I do, I will make an
announcement.
>> Starjet.
>> Team Starjet.
>> Little piss piss.
>> Little piss piss.
>> Team Starjet.
>> Uh thank you so much. Uh, and that is
going to end in well, honestly, it ends
in 6 hours because,
um, the giveaway is ending at 11:59 p.m.
Pacific Standard Time. So, uh, you got
time,
>> but uh, please enter this giveaway. It's
how Regular Cars keeps going. You're
helping out the channel and you're also
and someone's going to win, you know,
one of the coolest cars ever made.
>> I'm on a boat now. Uh, Nargle Fargo
says, "Thank you. But for real, this is
probably the coolest giveaway car you've
ever had." I think so as well. People
really like the uh Miata we did, but
everybody likes a Miata. That was last.
This thing on would eat a Miata a lot.
>> It's fast. It's fast. Like it's actually
It is actually genuinely fast. Like
weight matters so much more than people
think.
>> The thing is it's more than enough to
get you in trouble
>> or hurt you,
>> which is good. Which is cool.
>> Yeah. Yeah. that there is a feeling like
when you like whoever wins this when you
build boost for the first time with this
>> and you realize that it's building boost
at 4,000 RPM and this thing red lines at
seven and up there once it's screaming
at like Jesus
it goes it it's the classic like you
crest a little peak in it
>> and the front lifts up and you just like
tap limiter for a second and it plants
back down super stable it's just that
>> that is it's it is a classic emotional
>> driverbiased
Japanese car. It is why it is
>> if you haven't driven anything like it,
you just you have to understand it. It
is an emotionally driven vehicle. It
will make you feel things. It is not
it's not it's not the appliance we're
used to nowadays. So much fun. So
>> this thing and like I I I just made a
video that I sent to uh Nick cuz he's
doing a video about uh Toyota. It's half
of like how did did Toyota lose its way?
And like now Toyota like they do still
do weird stuff. I mean the the GR
Corolla, yes. Yes. 300 horsepower. Yes.
Funky three-cylinder engine,
but there's still all these nanny state
things going on. They just smoothed out
the the the uh the rawness of this. When
the turbo lights in in the starlet, it's
like good [ __ ] luck. like your Supra
once it now the Supra takes a while to
wild to while it's like, "Oh, we're
going now. Okay, good luck, Chuckle.
Boost."
>> Yeah. Yeah. Suddenly boost.
>> It doesn't care. The Starllet doesn't
care if there's water on the ground, if
you're on gravel, if you're on dirt.
>> It's going to make the same power. It's
going to want to kill you the same ways.
The brakes are going to
>> They're going to work. They're going to
work.
>> Four-wheel brakes. And as four-wheel
discou
brakes, better have four-wheel brakes.
>> It's going to If you hit the brakes,
it's going to slide in the rain. It's
going to stop in the dry. It's
>> right
>> going to do what you tell it to. Whether
>> that's good or bad.
>> It's not up to the car. It's you
>> in that thing. Driving something driving
something like that. My closest like
>> comparison honestly is like piloting a
mech suit because it's it's it's
literally it's all you. It will do
>> way more
>> than all this [ __ ] with computers
nowadays, but you have to do it. You
have to understand the balance of the
chassis, where the rear is going to lift
up. That thing I would I would kill to
have a weekend with that at like Summit
Point.
>> Just I just want a go-kart track,
>> man. How much money do I have to pay
you? Uh oh, you pointed at something.
>> Yeah, the backyard.
>> Oh, my backyard. Well, we already got it
stuck in the backyard once. We got to
push it out.
>> That's cuz you don't have the go-kart
track bill again.
>> Okay.
>> Get the Starlet. Get the Starllet. The
Starlet's awesome. And then come and let
me drive it again, please.
>> Track. Is that what you were going to
ask me?
>> Well, first of all, that Yes. And then,
but now we got drainage. Got to worry
about like that was a thing like if I
ever like if I ever had like like real
YouTube money, owning a piece of
property, and just building a track on
it. But that's more like a Texas sort of
thing. There's like rules in PA. You
can't really do that. Um, uh, Washington
Circuit at Summit is a go-kart track.
Lots of people host events on it. Okay.
Yeah.
>> Okay. A mini A min
excavator is $1,000 per week to rent.
>> So, rent that.
>> Washington Circuit is sick.
>> Rent that for $1,000.
We can bang out a go-kart track, a dirt
go-kart track in your backyard in about
six of those hours. And then we have a
whole week minus one day to film Miniax
content for the show.
>> Regular regular construction equipment.
>> Yeah, new special.
>> If this turns into a new episode of
Clarkson's farm,
>> yeah, I was looking at mini skid steers
on uh
>> That's my specialty. I'll I'll be the
partner for regular construction
equipment.
>> Today we're doing a Liber 500 crane
>> 40. We're tipping it over
>> $40,000 for a piece of like uh farmland
every now and again up near Delaware
Water Gap and then just have that
>> How many hydraulic lines can we blow in
one day? Today on regular construction
equipment, we're trying to lift a
container full of bricks and the crane
fell over.
>> What to do when my K Cabota 4x4 mini
tractor starts burning coolant.
How to how to return a rental that's
burning coolant.
>> I
I knew a
What was that? There was someone who uh
who what engine swapped a a uh a 46 LS
out of a U-Haul van cuz they uh they
blew their own.
>> Should be a thing. You would
>> y Don't yourself.
>> All right. Don't incriminate. Okay. All
right. Okay. So
>> people people
used to do this thing. People that we do
not know used to do things.
>> When you when you have a uh tired old 46
LS and you need a new one,
>> people could rent could rent from U-Haul
for $19.99 a day
a Chevy Express van that had the 46 or
sometimes it was a 53
>> 6. [ __ ] off. had six. So
>> now and all LS's use the same motor
mounts and use and use the same
transmission mounts.
>> It's all the same thing.
>> It's all the same thing. You put a 46
back into the van that had a 60 in it.
>> 60 for you. So, when you retired of your
48, which the 48, the LR4, honestly,
like my favorite LS, but
when people I know who are 16 and they
were tired of their cheap
>> Vorttec 4800s getting gapped by people
with Escalade 6's down in Dundock,
Maryland,
>> you would hit up the U-Haul the next
day, and the U-Haul didn't give a [ __ ]
as long as it came back moving.
>> Yeah. So,
if it leaves with eight and it came back
with eight, it was fine. But nowadays,
and you know, I just heard this off the
street, but uh they they do serial
number check those blocks now.
>> It became that big of an issue down in
old
>> Dundalk, Maryland.
That that is a watched thing. But that
was a very real thing. That was like
>> you could just rent a U-Haul.
>> You would
>> an engine swap.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, dude. It would it would take it
would take like
>> it would take people who did that who we
don't know
>> six realistic hours to have a motor out
of an industrial hauler and back in.
>> Mhm.
>> And just like that 24 you need to swap
the ECUs.
>> No,
>> no,
no. You just like drive them around
until it clears.
>> That's
>> Hell no. That That's like That's like
the um the 2010s version of GT40 heads.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
GT40.
>> Yes. Yeah. The Explorers had them. All
the Mustang guys. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay. People at chat. Um so when
we're talking, we're talking about
Windsor Block Fox bodies.
>> Mhm.
>> You had a regular Mustang GT Fox body
that had the Windsor block the 50
engine. Their heads were okay.
And then there were like trick flow and
other like cylinder heads, but there was
a head called the GT40
that they would sell you for a lot of
money. But what they didn't tell you is
that certain Explorers, Mountaineers had
them too, I think. So Mountaineers,
>> okay, Mercury Mountaineers, certain Ford
Explorers with like a tow package or
something had the GT40 heads on them cuz
those motors lived a lot longer in all
the SUVs. A lot of SUVs in that era got
like the spicy motors of earlier eras
that just carried on. Like the
Pathfinder has the has the best version
of the VG30 in it. They just cuz it was
cheap. They already made it.
>> Oh, okay.
>> So, move it on. That's
>> Yeah, but the junkyards Yep. Yeah. And I
have a friend of mine who hated this one
junkyard owner
>> and because he wanted to come in and
just like pull some heads. It's like you
can't pull heads. You got to take the
whole motor. He's like, "Okay." So he
came in like at 4 in the morning with
like a bunch of hand tools and then just
just stole 50.
>> Yep. Yep.
>> Blanket over the fence and just started
pulling heads and he said, "I walked out
of there with eight of them."
>> Y
>> and they're like, "Fuck him."
>> I've had a lot of friends that have done
activities like that.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, at the end of the day, dude,
it's like a It's a [ __ ] shitty
>> piece of junk. It's all junk. You're
just having fun like
>> Yeah.
>> No, people get so like bent up over
stuff but
>> you know,
>> I'm just on I'm just on Instagram right
now because I know there's no chance I'm
going to pull up porn.
>> Also reminds me of the GT350H's back in
the 60s.
>> Reminds me of the GT350H's back in the
60s, too. When people would
>> Oh, the one that Mustangs and stuff.
>> Yeah. They would take them from Her uh
Hurst.
>> That's what I was going to say.
>> Yeah,
>> it's what I was going to say. And It
doesn't. It could do anything. You could
do that. You could do that with
anything. Like, oh, you have a Corolla.
You have a Corolla and like you need new
tires. Just go rent a Corolla from from
Enterprise and just swap the wheels from
that onto yours. Like, oh, did your
catalytic converter get stolen? like
just go and take the one off of a rental
and then go to Atlanta and then come
back and be like, "Yeah, someone stole
the catalytic converter. Call
insurance." You know, it very illegal,
but I mean, you could do that with
anything. You could do that with seats
on the inside. Like, oh, did you have
burnt up like worn out seats? Go rent a
car that's the same of yours. Take the
seats out of it. Put your old seats in.
Yeah, you can do those seats. You could
do that with like chipped up, nasty
steering wheels. You could do that with
anything
>> and take it back. Take it back to an
enterprise where that wasn't the
original one.
>> Yeah. Different enterprise.
>> Like go to like if you got like one here
in the Philly area, [ __ ] drive to
Harrisburg airport.
>> Oh no. If you got it in Philly, you can
just bring it back to Philly cuz they
don't give a [ __ ] about that. But if you
get it if you if you pick it up in
Westchester,
>> bring it back to Philly. Bring it back
to Philly. Drop it off. Drop it
somewhere. Yeah. drop it at the airport
or drop it some even better if you can
return it during inclement weather
>> because what happens is they start cuz
with and again I don't know this from
experience I just heard about this
>> when there's inclement weather all of
the flights start getting cancelled so
people start renting cars and then the
the car rental agencies they start
loosening their restrictions they don't
do car inspections because when you drop
something there. They're fueling it and
sending it right back because they've
got 150 people in line. This happened to
me at O'Hare airport. I got a car that
hadn't been inspected. It was disgusting
on the inside because it was O'Hare.
>> Yeah. Yes. Like 60 like like 60% of all
flights. O'Hare typically did something
like 250 takeoffs an hour. They were
doing 20 takeoffs an hour because of the
snowstorm. and the ATC
>> shortage that they had because this was
when Trump uh shut down the government
or when they shut down the government uh
there was no air traffic controllers and
there was a snowstorm. So her was doing
20 takeoffs an hour. Almost every flight
was substantially delayed or cancelled.
There was a line out the door for rental
cars and I was like wow you could just
return anything
>> to to to Enterprise right now and they
would send you out the door with it. So
Yep. Yeah.
>> Are you sure you guys gave me a 2016
Elantre? I thought it for sure was this
93 Metro.
>> Yeah.
>> LIKE JUST
>> WHAT?
>> You can do anything, bro. Swap the
wheels. Swap the engine. Swap the
interior. Swap the ed Oh, I need a new
radiator. Well, guess what? A new
radiator is $300, but that rental's only
70 bucks.
>> [ __ ] If I had a If I had a If I got a
Kia, I would have taken the cabin air
filter for myself
>> and then just have a new one for myself.
And by the way, none of this is advice.
We are not telling you to go do this.
We're just talking about a thing.
>> We're talking about a thing that
criminals do.
>> Don't you do this cuz that's bad.
Someone in the comments said, "Some kids
I went to school with were so dumb when
it came to crimes, they stole a school
bus and tried to scrap it without the
title."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Did some people
>> That's funny. When I was a substitute
teacher, we had a um 2-hour delay one
time in May near the end of the school
year. And it was really weird to like
wake up the next day and at the at this
time it was far enough into the future.
This would have been like 2007.
No, it was been in 2009
8, no nine. And I just get an email like
on the way or a text and it says uh we
are operating on a 2-hour delay
schedule. I'm like it's May. Why are we
on a two-hour delay? And it turned out
someone had gone to RNJ Bus because we
the school I worked for um uh just
outsourced to, you know, a busing
company. They didn't own the buses
themselves and
put a bunch of golf tees in the valve
stems of like a whole bunch of school
bus and let all the air out of the
tires.
>> Was there like a test going on or
something? Yeah, I I think it was just
like it was a out of all the senior
pranks, that's a pretty shitty senior
prank. But then again, a two-hour delay.
That's all.
>> We see this.
>> So when I was
>> But we didn't know if it was people from
Blue Mountain School District.
>> [ __ ] yeah.
>> We didn't know if it was Blue Mountain
School District or Skook Haven School
District because they both use RJ tours.
So h who knows? So, I'm I'm originally
from Maryland, and the high school,
Kaitensville High School, good old
Kaitensville High, was a mix of like
southern Maryland white kids and just
like like everyone everyone mixed,
big school, big high school. Oh, there's
Kay right there.
>> What is this?
>> Oh, wait. That's your When we were
driving the Miata when my Miata, my MR2.
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Oh, it drives so well. we talked about
before. I got to drive it again. It
drives so good now with all new rubber
and all new bushings and stuff like
that.
>> It's another one of those very emotional
vehicles.
>> Yeah,
>> really. It reminded me the
>> I don't I don't know what exactly
reminded me of the RX7 so much. But
>> yeah,
>> I really like this the angled the I'm
watching your levels. It picks me up
good. Uh I really like the angled um
shifter.
>> Yeah, the pistol grip. Yeah, that was a
very Toyota thing. Like it's it's so
like third gear is straight and then
everything else.
>> That's how the Supras are, the Mark II.
Do you still have You have the original
shifter in yours, right? No, I was I was
talking
>> like that.
>> I was talking to um the guys from uh I
was mentioning the angle uh to the guys
at RT Tuning and they said, "Oh, you if
you want that thing straight up and
down, you can fix that. You can just
adjust the the cables in there. You now
you don't like you like it? Hell no.
Leave that. Leave that as it is, dude.
It's like riding a fighter jet.
>> The CRV.
>> It's Hotass, bro. You got your hands on
throttle and stick.
>> Did you see that? There's someone I got
to find him on Instagram. Um, there's
someone with a SW20 uh second gen MR2
who is running the boosted 2GR engine in
it, but the way he's boosting the engine
is not with the engine in the trunk.
He's [ __ ] running an APU.
>> Oh, I have seen that guy.
>> Yes. Okay, that guy is insane. That is a
board engineer.
>> When you say APU, that means auxiliary
power unit,
>> turbine.
>> That is a jet engine. You know, when you
look at um uh uh an airplane parked at
the gate and if you see it from behind,
it has the butthole in the back by the
end of the wings. So, most jet engines
have two main jet engines. There's a
third one, a little one way in the back.
And all that's jet, all it is is hooked
up to a big [ __ ] alternator. And that
you start the little one that starts
your alternator that makes a whole bunch
of electricity that starts that hits the
starter motors for the main ones if
you're not connected already to ground
power. This is all stuff uh Tony
Airlines uh taught me. But those little
APU units, people do dumb fun [ __ ] You
can get them cheap at a government
auctions. That's one of my favorite
things about like
the late 80s, mid 80s, late 80s like
small Toyota community is that there are
so many entirely way too bored engineers
that just dump so much time into those
things. The APU guy is one. That car is
crazy. There's a guy somewhere over in
the UK that has um Oh yeah, there it is.
This is [ __ ] insane.
There's a guy who has a um an MR2
Spider, like a newer one
>> that
has like a continual anti-lag system
with like an afterburning chamber that
you can just switch on and it'll just
sit at like 20 pounds of boost.
>> [ __ ] off.
>> And that's that's actually a track car.
Like this is some guy's project, but
that guy actually tracks his thing. This
guy, they didn't link to the actual uh
guy's uh uh Instagram channel. I forgot
what it is. He has some night shots here
that that guy did put a extra um um he
made his own little afterburner for an
APU. They say it's a helicopter engine.
It's not. A helicopter engine would be
>> Well, okay. Depends. Yeah. What it is
>> like the R like the Robinson R66
>> Mhm.
>> Um has a tiny little jet turbine that
runs that helicopter. So maybe I don't
know.
>> Chat, um I haven't ignored you. Um, we
are taking super chats if you feel like
being uh generous. Um, but someone says,
"Check out Ryan Mitchell from uh KC Max.
He uses a giant compressed air tank to
booth boost his drag car Firebird." So
Ryan Mitchell
CK Maxx. Okay, that's a big thing that
KC Max Kansas City.
>> I think we can kind of think that from
the diesel world. M
>> a lot of diesel guys
like in the mid200s started using
compressed air to spool up these huge
uber massive turbos.
>> The Firebird
I love. Keep trying weird stuff.
Yep.
Egg.
>> Yeah, that's it.
>> Let's see this thing. Let's see this
thing.
>> We get a peep of this.
>> All right. So, Oh, we can uh
>> body panels are for losers.
>> Scuba Steve, let's go.
Oh my god.
Wow.
Okay. Is this somebody's video that he
made about this video?
Aka Scuba Steve. Mhm.
See, it's like that stuff is really
cool.
all the stuff around it like actually
managing that power.
>> Yeah.
>> To have it actually have it grip not
spin.
>> Yeah.
>> You got to think like the rest the the
classic
>> like supercharging, turbocharging,
nitrous. There there are so many
automotive specific controllers and ECU
functions and
>> whatever for that. There is nothing to
control
>> compressed air boosting a motor in an
automotive application. And so all of
the control scheme for that thing that
guy has also had to figure out. So it's
not even the initial layout. There's so
much more constant coming in. It's not
going to ramp with uh
>> well you had to figure out I guarantee
you we had to figure out a way to ramp
it.
>> Like that's what really impresses me
about that stuff is like there's the
initial idea, but then everything to
actually make it work smoothly is just
>> Mhm.
>> So awesome. So awesome. I guarantee
talking to that guy is probably so cool.
>> Yeah.
H.
Um, I've seen the day where pilots were
successful in demanding two people in
the cockpit. Apparently, airlines are
trying to only get one. [ __ ] No,
no no.
>> That'll never fly.
>> No pun intended.
>> Yeah. Union unions would would never
allow that. my my favorite uh thing that
we do with planes uh instead of having a
tiny engine. Uh
my favorite is when we just say [ __ ] it
and just put a third engine on top.
Yeah, the the tri jets. Uh T Tony can
speak uh more to
>> more to length about that. Originally
like we had the four the the um the quad
jets your 747 and there was another
version of that and those are for
crossing the Atlantic and as as jet
engines became bypass jet engines and
then high by high bypass they thought
you know we don't need four two is fine
we can do cross the Atlantic we can
cross the Pacific fine and the
regulators were like I don't know what
happens if you lose one I'm like it
doesn't matter. They're they're huge
now. Like
you better have at least three. So then
they came up with the trijet just
>> it's like a midway.
>> It was just to make the regulators shut
up. Like they didn't need a third jet
engine at the time.
>> Although these ones right here, these
are not that these are not high bypass.
These are older ones. So maybe they did.
I guess
>> I know it's such a nerd thing to have a
favorite private jet, but my favorite
private jet is the Dissult Falcon 50X
just because it's just such a cool
concept. They're they're like, "Nah,
screw it. Just like shove a third one
right on top into the and like right on
top of the fuselage.
>> Just forget about it."
>> In vehicle. Yeah,
>> it's Dude, you pull up in this,
>> everyone's turning and looking and being
like,
>> if you are not Austin Powers walking out
of that [ __ ] thing, then who are you?
Actually,
>> yeah. Huge big dick walk coming out of
that.
>> The windows are circular.
>> Tony's probably flying today. Our
resident pilot like there is like he
he's been trying to get he's going to be
flying to Germany again. He's like,
"Hey, do you want to go to Hamburg for
like a And I'm like, I kind of do, but
at the same time, when I if I would ride
on his buddy pass, and this is me just
being a YouTuber, that means I got to
fly economy over the Atlantic.
And I know I'm flying for free.
>> [ __ ]
>> [ __ ] [ __ ]
>> It's like that guy at the gym that I was
talking about, the guy at my gym who's
trying to win the sauna. He's he's a
younger guy and he's just a guy in the
sauna and I go in there from time to
time. He's a nice guy. I talk to him.
But he's just sitting there. He'll be in
there for an hour. He'll come out. He'll
like jump in the shower, get back in the
sauna. And you'll go into the sauna and
he's just there in like booty shorts or
whatever, just covered in sweat. And
you'll be there in silence. And
occasionally he'll be going
just to let you know he's been in there
for six.
>> Damn.
>> It's like It's like a It's like a
[ __ ] clock tolling. It's a damn an
hour.
>> Oh, [ __ ]
I've been in here for so long.
>> Feels good. I swear to God, I drop like
seven pounds a day in here. Oh my god,
>> dude. It's Yeah. As far as private
aircraft as far as private aircraft go,
like they're pretty cheap.
>> Mhm.
>> You know,
>> $4 million.
>> Okay. All right. All right. Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Time for the context
hat.
>> Yeah.
>> Here we go.
>> Were you going to look up a golf stream?
>> No. Bombardier. Bombardier.
No.
We're not looking at We're not looking
at Gulfream. You know, before I bought
this house, I was honestly considering
not honestly considering more gooning
considering
buying a twin engine prop plane and
saying, "Hey, Tony, fly me around."
>> All right. Well, there's none on
controller. But
>> you're not just trade a plane.
>> You're just on trade a plane.
>> Uh
>> $8 million.
>> Yeah, just get that. I can't afford it.
>> Global 800.
>> Global 8500.
Uh, by the way, uh, Taylor Swift has two
of these.
>> What the?
>> They they retail for $90 million. They
have three rooms.
>> Oh my god. It's landlord [ __ ] gray
over gentrification white.
Are you [ __ ] serious, dude? How
boring can we get as a [ __ ] society?
Actually, oh, good. It looks like an
Airbnb inside.
>> Jesus Christ.
>> Moving on. You know, I'm on like what?
Looking at this, I kind of understand
what the Saudi princes are about.
>> Oh my god. Yeah.
>> 8,000 nautical miles in.
>> There's a third color.
>> Beige.
>> Mhm.
>> Dang.
>> But no, you're not you're not you're not
you're not you're not getting it with
the stock interior. Come on. You're not
you're not getting it with their
interior.
>> You're you're you're specking it. You're
calling them them up and they be like,
"No no no.
>> Oh, you got the poverty option."
>> Yeah. No, you only spent you only you
bought the base model for 90.
>> You bought the base model here.
>> No, you didn't buy You didn't buy You're
not buying the base model
>> just on principal.
>> I could be wrong. Someone someone could
correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty
sure that this the Global 8500 is the uh
has the longest range of any private
>> on principal.
>> Uh Tony's in the chat. He says, "My
flight to Lisbon got cancelled, so I'm
off the next three day next three days."
Damn. Now, Tony, I'm going skiing
tomorrow. Wait. Oh, no.
>> Have you seen the Honda Jet?
>> No.
>> Tony. Okay.
>> Kay has not seen the Honda Jet.
>> All right. Apparently, there's a Honda
Jet.
>> Dude, this thing was Is it a 150?
>> This thing was like Yeah. Yeah. It's a
150cc scooters. Look at that thing. The
necessels are not attached to the
fuchsilage. They're attached to the
wings to put vibration into the wings
and not the fuselage. Really? I saw one
of these. Tony and I were there with my
friend Greg and we went to
>> Wow.
>> Tony and I got to got to uh I don't know
if if Tony and I did we get to go in
this
>> because that we didn't get to fly in.
>> Let me see the interior.
>> The interior is very uh
cramped.
>> Oh wow.
>> Yeah. It's it's a tiny plane.
>> This is like Okay. If this was a car,
it'd be the Lexus LC 400.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it's tiny. It's tiny, but
it's like the grand tour to
horror.
>> I like that view.
If anyone If anyone tries to complain to
you by telling you or tries to insult
you or offend you by telling you that
your private jet is too small,
>> Yeah.
>> you've made it.
>> Yes.
>> Uh,
>> this thing is cool though. It's like
>> Tony Airlines says
>> Tony Airlines says it's cheap because
the annual the annual inspection is six
figures in this.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Cool little plane.
>> Yeah,
>> you would like it.
>> What a funky little thing. Yeah,
>> you would like it a lot.
>> Um
>> tiny tiny.
>> It's overpriced just by a TBM at one.
Yeah, that was something that Tony was
telling me like the new uh the new Dr.
Killer. And by this I mean the doctor
killer, you know, like a doctor who owns
like a bunch of doctors. And by that he
owns a bunch of practices. He's above a
Sirrus SR22. Uh Tony was telling me the
new like dumb rich like nature trying to
kill the rich is uh is this plane.
>> Yep. This
>> not this. Well, real real quick just
before you get off of this. These are
expensive for the same reason that K
trucks would be expensive if they were
sold by dealers in the United States.
Oh, it's small and you want it because
it's small, therefore expensive.
>> As you as you were saying,
>> that is sexy from that angle.
>> I I need I need both hands. I have to
look up uh
this is a two-hand job.
It's a two-hander.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Pilates.
>> Okay, so me and Allan Me and Allan are
buying an Evo 6. Me and who was it?
Me and you, Drain, can buy this [ __ ] ass
little Honda thing.
>> The Honda Jet.
>> Yeah, the Honda Jet. Something something
>> for like a few mil.
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> A million from you and a million from
me.
>> Yeah.
>> Cool. Easy. What? Done.
>> What? That's like down payment. We need
to put up a little bit more than that.
>> No, that's I'm not trying to make a bare
minimum down payment.
>> Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. All right.
Okay. All right. Fair enough.
>> And then who else was I? What? There was
the the Evo 6.
>> Hold on.
If you actually wanted a jet, you can
get little like Cessna jets uh for like
less than a house,
like 200,000. I mean, they're from the
70s, so your engines might just blow up
and you might just die in the middle of
the air, but that'd be a cool way to
die. Okay. Used. Oh, half ownership.
Half ownership of Nope. Oh, you're
buying a time share.
>> Nope.
>> One 1.7 million gets you this. This is
bigger than a Honda Jet.
>> Yep. It is as fast as a That's the thing
they don't say. Honda jets aren't that
fast. This is a turbo prop. So, it's a
jet engine driving a propeller. So, tons
of torque. And I rode in these when I
was a teacher in Alaska.
>> You've been in a turbo jet?
>> I turbo prop.
>> Turbo props.
>> I I was in this. This was the nice one
that you get. Now, ours was outfitted
for like cargo area. This is not stole,
but this thing can take off from shorter
land rates. It can land on dirt.
>> So, our runway was dirt in my village
when I was teaching in Alaska. So this
this John um flew smooth like a jet but
also could fly slow like a prop. So and
the FAA says you can fly this thing
solo. You don't need a co-pilot.
>> Awesome.
>> So
>> these these rich [ __ ]
>> my [ __ ] turbo prop.
>> Yeah.
>> These rich [ __ ] like Oh, you mean I can
I can This is what Tony was saying if
Tony's in the chat. Uh he was telling me
that people can fly this, get their ILS
rating and then just uh go [ __ ] turn
[100:01] themselves into a Kennedy, you know, off
[100:04] of Martha's Vineyard in one of these
[100:05] things cuz they don't know what they're
[100:07] doing in something like this.
[100:09] >> So dude, those Honda jets you can get.
[100:11] >> Yeah, we can get I'm I'm looking at a
[100:12] 2017 Honda Jet for $9.95,000
[100:16] >> located in Hammond, Louisiana. What What
[100:19] a share of a Honda Jet.
[100:20] >> Nope. the full the thing the the full
[100:23] Honda jet
[100:24] >> for one third interest. Yeah. Yeah.
[100:27] >> I mean, to be honest, that's the way
[100:29] most people own planes these days.
[100:31] >> These things are cool. They have the
[100:34] freaking um like adjustable
[100:37] they regulate speed with, as I
[100:40] understand, I'm sure it's different
[100:42] across the board, but those things
[100:43] regulate speed with the prop pitch,
[100:47] which is super cool. I just think that's
[100:50] so neat. Tony just said, uh, you don't
[100:53] even need an instrument rating to fly a
[100:55] PC12.
[100:57] Just a just a private pilot's license.
[100:59] So just VFR, visual flight rule, high
[101:02] performance and complex endorsement. You
[101:04] do not need no. So you can fly a PC12
[101:09] without knowing how to land in low
[101:12] visibility and use the instruments.
[101:16] >> Scary.
[101:16] >> Hey, Frey. All right, hold on. Hold on.
[101:18] Wait, let me let me just hold on. Let me
[101:20] just do it. Let me do an enactment here.
[101:22] >> All right. 3 months in the future.
[101:25] What's up, Frey? You got to move the
[101:27] boat. The PC12 needs a spot.
[101:30] >> Yep. It's coming. It's on the way right
[101:32] now. We're an hour out.
[101:36] >> Here's one that we can just own
[101:37] ourselves for 2.7 million.
[101:41] >> What is
[101:43] >> Pretty sure we could buy an F-16, too.
[101:45] >> Buy an F-16. Yeah, that would be
[101:47] >> dude. With enough money, you can buy
[101:48] anything you want.
[101:49] >> Yeah, this
[101:50] >> that's that's where we are.
[101:51] >> So, hello chat. Thank you for um
[101:54] >> thank you for watching through all this.
[101:56] Uh we are taking super chats if you want
[101:58] to. Honestly, the Cessna Aerostar is
[102:01] [ __ ] cool, too. Yeah. Um
[102:04] >> the Honda logo on the wheel.
[102:05] >> I love that.
[102:06] >> That's why it's called Honda Jet. It's
[102:08] made by Honda.
[102:10] >> It's only called a Honda Jet because the
[102:12] Honda logo is on the steering wheel. You
[102:14] will notice. Yeah,
[102:15] >> the steering wheel is made by Honda.
[102:16] >> Uh, thank you so much for watching while
[102:19] these guys uh decide what we're going to
[102:21] talk about next. Talk once more about
[102:23] our giveaway. This is a two is a 1995
[102:28] Toyota Starlet GT Turbo. This giveaway
[102:31] is ending tonight and I don't know when
[102:33] we're going to get our hands on
[102:35] something this beautiful again. This is
[102:37] a 165 horsepower car that only weighs
[102:41] three tacos above 2,000 lbs. This thing
[102:45] will outrun most average cars on the
[102:48] road. It makes boost. It has an
[102:50] aftermarket intercooler.
[102:52] >> Uh banana K called it a banana banana
[102:56] exhaust header.
[102:57] >> Um uh two inner probably a boost
[103:00] controller because the limited boost.
[103:02] There it is. There's the side shot. Me
[103:03] smiling. And I smile all the time when I
[103:05] ride this coilovers. It handles like a
[103:08] dream.
[103:09] >> It's on works.
[103:10] >> It is on on works.
[103:11] >> It's on works.
[103:12] >> Nice. The the um
[103:16] I'm going to miss it when it goes. We
[103:17] will announce the winner when when we uh
[103:20] find out who the winner is. Again, with

[104:19] they had a tax limit at 1.3 L. After
[104:25] that they like the surge charging or

[106:30] come into this.
[106:31] >> Oh my god. It was Okay. So, I bought a
[106:34] van and um back I b Okay, I bought a Why
[106:38] do only two people have a mic? Because
[106:40] only two people are cool enough to have
[106:42] mics.
[106:42] >> No mic.
[106:43] >> Okay. Uh I don't know. That's a Brian
[106:46] question. The mics pick up anything
[106:48] anywhere. I'm watching the audio levels.
[106:50] The mics pick stuff up from anywhere.
[106:51] Anyway, so I bought a I bought a uh
[106:54] about a year ago, I bought a 2006
[107:00] uh E250 Econoline 54 Triton
[107:05] uh van. It had 149,000 miles on it and
[107:11] it was purchased in Georgia.
[107:15] >> You are right.
[107:16] >> [ __ ] ass Georgia
[107:17] >> for So this guy was selling it. All
[107:22] right. So I bought it from a guy I knew.
[107:26] I essentially I essentially commissioned
[107:29] a friend of mine to build who who lived
[107:34] in Georgia to procure me
[107:39] to procure and fit out a van for my
[107:44] business needs. And so this dude, he was
[107:48] like, "I found," and he had a real deep
[107:51] southern accent. "I found a van." He
[107:55] found me a van. It w it had it had it
[107:58] had low miles. It had no rust on it. It
[108:01] was previously used as a detailing van.
[108:03] So, the dude that owned it just drove it
[108:04] around Georgia local distances just
[108:07] detailing cars out of it. So, it was low
[108:09] mileage, light use, real good shape.
[108:13] vanapped.
[108:14] >> So he
[108:16] So the thing is this guy that I bought
[108:19] it at, he convinced me that I could buy
[108:22] a van off of him by showing him or he
[108:27] showed me pictures of other vans he had
[108:31] built. And what I found out through this
[108:36] process of working with this guy is that
[108:39] he was very
[108:41] good.
[108:44] I won't say very good. He was very good.
[108:47] I was I was going to say he's very good
[108:49] at doing vehicle interiors. He's very
[108:52] good at taking goodlooking pictures of
[108:54] his vehicle interiors that he did.
[108:57] >> Very sociable and convincing.
[108:59] >> Very friendly. Very convincing.
[109:02] So, basically what he told me was, "I
[109:04] found you a van. The guy doesn't know
[109:07] what's wrong with it. I know what's
[109:10] wrong with it." So, what this guy
[109:11] thought was wrong with it was that it
[109:13] had an aftermarket
[109:15] uh it had an after No, it had an
[109:17] aftermarket anti- theft device in it.
[109:20] And so what would happen was the guy was
[109:23] drive, he would drive it, he would drive
[109:24] it, he would drive it, and it would die
[109:26] on the road, and he would have to
[109:30] pull over, put it in park, turn it back
[109:33] on again, and then it would start up,
[109:34] and he would be able to drive it from
[109:35] between 20 and 30 minutes, and then it
[109:37] would die again.
[109:39] And so the guys And so the guy I'm
[109:41] buying it from is like, "I know exactly
[109:42] what's wrong with this thing. The seller
[109:44] doesn't know. I took one look at it. I
[109:45] know exactly what's wrong with it." He
[109:46] wants $2,000 for it. It's a steal. And
[109:49] then he wanted everything else for it.
[109:52] And uh he he uh he charged me um a
[109:55] reasonable amount of money. It was it
[109:57] was a reasonable amount of money um for
[110:01] uh an interior retrofit. It had it had
[110:04] plywood paneling. It had era. It had um
[110:07] new uh LED lighting. It had it had a
[110:11] wood floor or LV. Yeah. It had wood
[110:14] floor, which the wood floor is great.
[110:15] The wood cargo bed makes it real easy to
[110:17] slide stuff in and out of there. And so
[110:21] I paid for this for this guy because at
[110:23] the up till this time for my business, I
[110:25] was renting cargo vans from Enterprise
[110:29] Commercial and every time I rented a
[110:31] van, it was $1,000.
[110:32] >> Damn.
[110:33] >> So because they charge you for after a
[110:35] certain mileage or whatever. Okay, I'm
[110:37] going to a trade show in
[110:41] Atlanta or
[110:44] Orlando.
[110:45] I need to drive, you know, $1,800 round
[110:50] trip. So, I'm I'm getting this van and
[110:52] it's it's it's a it's more than $1,000
[110:55] just to rent the van, let alone the fuel
[110:59] costs on top of that. And I was just
[111:01] like, do you want your chair back?
[111:02] >> No. And I was just like, at this point
[111:05] it's more economical cuz I did that like
[111:07] seven times in one year. And I was like,
[111:08] at this point it's more economical for
[111:10] me to just buy a vehicle. So I went to
[111:13] buy this vehicle and the dude told me
[111:17] that upon payment I would have my
[111:21] vehicle within
[111:24] >> like six weeks. Yeah,
[111:25] >> like six weeks. just in time for a show
[111:28] I was doing in um I bought it in April
[111:32] of uh 20 uh 2024.
[111:35] >> Yep.
[111:35] >> And he was like just in time just in
[111:37] time for this show that I was going to
[111:39] go do in May. So anyways, as you may get
[111:42] the gist of that did not happen.
[111:44] >> Did not happen. Did not get the van.
[111:46] >> That did not happen.
[111:47] >> I didn't get the van in May. I didn't
[111:49] get it in June. What was August
[111:51] September?
[111:51] >> It would take me four weeks at a time to
[111:53] get back to you. Yes, it will take it
[111:55] will take me six weeks to return your
[111:57] text messages.
[111:59] >> Just as aside, just like some guy in
[112:02] Philly just driving the snowmobile on
[112:04] the sidewalk
[112:04] >> like you do.
[112:05] >> Absolutely. As is
[112:06] >> tradition. What is it?
[112:08] >> Oh, it's a triple.
[112:11] >> Oh yeah.
[112:12] >> Oh my god, dude. I want to hang out with
[112:15] that dude.
[112:15] >> And I will have you know that my 54 has
[112:17] not blown up.
[112:18] >> Get me this man's phone number. Yeah. No
[112:19] spark plugs. Ejeto.
[112:22] Not yet. So,
[112:24] so I I'm trying to get a hold of this
[112:26] guy. I'm trying to get a hold of him.
[112:27] And every time I reach out to him, he
[112:29] has some kind of reason that the van's
[112:32] not done yet. And it's and so finally
[112:37] after a year after a whole year of
[112:40] chasing this man down and while I was
[112:41] waiting for my b van I spent $8,000 more
[112:45] dollars on rentals
[112:47] uh over the course of I was supposed to
[112:50] get it in like by like May of 2025
[112:54] through the rest of 2020 or uh through
[112:56] the rest I spent in May 2024 through the
[112:58] rest of 2024.
[113:00] >> It's cold now. It was
[113:03] I spent $8,000
[113:06] on other rentals.
[113:09] Thank you, Nargle Fargle, for the $10
[113:12] contribution.
[113:13] >> Thank you, Nar Fargo. Have some dollars.
[113:15] I challenge others in the chat to do the
[113:17] same. Thank you for doing your thing.
[113:18] Yes, thank you so much. Thank you so
[113:20] much uh for the super chat. It means a
[113:22] lot. We will spend your money very
[113:25] wisely. I'm not opposed to doing a
[113:26] quadifer again. I just need to find a
[113:29] more efficient way to get there than
[113:31] renting my own rental car. Uh because
[113:33] that was like a $500 rental from Madison
[113:36] airport.
[113:37] >> Um I had someone who said they were
[113:39] going to pick me up and then they didn't
[113:40] answer their phone because [ __ ]
[113:42] furries. And let's drive. Let's just
[113:44] drive all the way there.
[113:45] >> We flew to O'Hare and I will return to
[113:48] the van story momentarily. We flew to
[113:50] O'Hare. Our tickets were about $110 each
[113:53] round trip and my rental of that Elantra
[113:57] was 300 bucks and me and two friends
[114:00] split it three ways. It ended up being
[114:02] $220 each for roundtrip flights out of
[114:06] O'Hare and all of the driving that we
[114:08] did that entire weekend.
[114:10] >> I like that idea, but I'm not a transfer
[114:12] guy and Philadelphia has that one flight
[114:15] that they do from Philadelphia to
[114:16] Madison and it just talk about transfer.
[114:20] I'm not.
[114:20] >> Oh, cuz you went to go.
[114:22] >> We flew to
[114:22] >> We flew to O'Hare and from O'Hare, it's
[114:25] only a 2 and a half hour drive from the
[114:27] airport. So, we landed in O'Hare at 8:00
[114:30] a.m. local time, hopped in an uh an
[114:34] enterprise rental and we were at Madison
[114:37] by 11:30 in the morning and that was
[114:39] with stops
[114:42] and we were all in. The total cost for
[114:44] three people with the rental car, three
[114:46] plane tickets and the rental car was
[114:47] like 650.
[114:53] No,
[114:55] >> I didn't want to fart.
[114:57] >> Give me that one. I don't want to put my
[114:58] I don't want to put my face in Brian's
[115:00] butt mic.
[115:04] >> Here you go.
[115:05] >> You get the butt mic.
[115:08] >> Now you can fart in that. Now you can
[115:10] fart in that.
[115:11] >> How was Hawk set at the party? Does that
[115:14] someone who
[115:15] >> Hawk set at the party? Oh, probably up.
[115:18] Yeah, Uproar is is something.
[115:21] >> Park is awesome.
[115:22] >> I'd love to show pictures from Uproar,
[115:23] but this is

[115:26] set was amazing. Definitely come to

[115:32] >> What was Yeah, there was. Um, what was
[115:36] uh Do you know our final count attending
[115:39] number?
[115:40] >> Hella. I have to crunch the numbers and
[115:43] admittedly I've been just resting um the
[115:46] last two days but uh we g based on the
[115:50] number of wristbands we gave away I am
[115:54] pretty sure we were at around 350
[115:57] >> okay
[115:57] >> for this uproar
[115:59] >> which is awesome uproar has been
[116:00] consistently pulling between 3 and 350
[116:03] people 300 and 350 people which is like
[116:07] >> psychotically awesome

[118:57] What's up, chat?
[119:00] >> Going back. So anyway, uh a year I
[119:03] finally the to to to to cut through the
[119:07] fat, I finally um
[119:09] >> got to a point where I sent the student
[119:11] ultimatum and I was like look like
[119:14] I managed to get like his location from
[119:17] a friend of a friend and I was like look
[119:19] I'm coming down to your place in 3 weeks
[119:22] and I'm bringing one one of two things
[119:26] is happening. either I'm driving that
[119:28] van or towing that van away from your
[119:31] property or I'm handing you a lawsuit
[119:33] and it can be whichever one you want.
[119:36] And it was unfortunate. I don't like
[119:38] having to do that kind of thing. Um he
[119:40] did let me come down and it was oh man
[119:43] oh man like I I've I've uh
[119:47] this I've had this thing I've had this
[119:49] thing through three different Ford
[119:50] dealerships. We can't figure out what's
[119:52] wrong with it. This goddamn thing just
[119:54] don't want to run no more. like it's at
[119:56] the end of its life, blah blah blah. I
[119:58] don't know what's going on. Blah blah.
[119:59] And this. So, I was telling Kay about
[120:03] this and I'm going to hand you the mic
[120:05] in a second. This is the trans. This is
[120:07] the the pass off.
[120:09] Excuse me. I uh I'm telling Kay, I'm
[120:13] like, "This guy says this and this and
[120:15] this and this and this." And Kay says,
[120:17] "I can have that van running in probably
[120:22] about 4 hours.
[120:27] and he said, "Let's go to Atlanta." So,
[120:30] me, Kay, and Lance went to Atlanta.
[120:33] >> You're missing a key part.
[120:34] >> There There is my wheelchair. There's
[120:37] Lance in a wheelchair, and there's my
[120:39] fake electric Mustang SUV that haters
[120:41] tell me isn't real.
[120:42] >> That thing had like so many recalls,
[120:44] right?
[120:44] >> Yeah. Yeah. Did you know that the Maky
[120:46] has recalls? Did you know that the Maky
[120:48] is the only car to ever have a recall
[120:49] ever in the history of vehicles?
[120:51] Actually yeah
[120:52] >> it actually is the only car that has
[120:53] ever had a recall.
[120:55] >> Ford's never recalled anything before
[120:56] the Mach E.
[120:57] >> No.
[120:58] >> And no other manufacturers that
[120:59] >> has ever recalled anything.
[121:01] >> World's first.

[121:06] car show the I just first of all, I just
[121:10] had my Maky parked there. I wasn't even
[121:12] in the car show. The car show just
[121:14] happened
[121:15] >> around my Maki
[121:17] >> and people started and and so I was
[121:19] like, "Oh, all right. So, we're hanging
[121:20] out." The only comment I got about the
[121:22] Maki was the guy said, "Hey, you know
[121:24] there's a recall out for this."
[121:26] >> Mhm.
[121:27] >> And I was like, "Yeah, I do." And he was
[121:28] like, "Okay." And then he walked away.

[123:27] >> Um, so maybe I just posted this. This
[123:29] was when I
[123:30] >> the crazy taxi for two years.
[123:32] >> Yeah. I had this. Okay. So, I've been in
[123:34] this house for a year.
[123:36] >> Yeah.
[123:37] >> And then Yeah. I think I had it for
[123:40] >> Oh my goodness. I had it in stock form,
[123:42] then wrapped form,
[123:44] >> then
[123:46] uh fuel inje fuel injection, and now
[123:50] thanks to K, it has So now I can go
[123:52] back. This was when when I drove it to
[123:55] um
[123:56] >> time needs to stop doing that. It moves
[123:58] forward.
[123:59] >> Yeah. No more of this. No more that.
[124:00] >> Yeah. No. 200° 205 204. Now it's normal.
[124:03] >> Welcome to the future.
[124:04] >> Yeah. So now I could take this back to
[124:06] AC and not have to worry about the thing
[124:08] overheating. That was one of the funnest
[124:10] times I've had at a furry convention,
[124:12] just picking up people and driving them
[124:13] around. Um, if I go back to AC, I'm not
[124:16] even taking my head. I'm just going with
[124:18] the taxi and [ __ ] it. Um, got a super
[124:21] chat coming in uh from Mr. 186 something
[124:25] or other. Uh, just financial support for
[124:27] the love. I love you. Thank you so much.
[124:30] I appreciate that.
[124:34] >> Slick top superiority. Just got to put
[124:36] that out there. Furries taught me that
[124:38] Afrin addiction is a thing.
[124:40] >> What's Afrin?
[124:41] >> Afrin is a
[124:42] >> What's Afrin?
[124:43] >> I'm so glad you asked.
[124:44] >> What's Afrin? Well, let me educate you.
[124:47] It's a short-term nasal decongestant
[124:50] that's like very mentholy.
[124:52] >> Okay. I
[124:55] >> $500 for a target top seal kit.
[124:57] >> Oh my god.
[124:58] >> Oh [ __ ] Yeah.
[124:59] >> So, my Supra stopped leaking. Anyway,
[125:01] Afron,
[125:04] >> how much am I telling that story? We
[125:06] know.
[125:06] >> Oh my god. Okay. Yeah. Halfway through
[125:09] the V.
[125:09] >> It's a nasal decongestant that like
[125:12] >> it basically like takes your symptoms
[125:14] and scoots them forward so you can just
[125:15] ignore them, but they will come back.
[125:17] >> Oh, so cyberpunk with the uh the immune
[125:20] suppressants for cyber psychosis.
[125:22] >> Yeah, it'll just come back as soon as
[125:24] you you stop. And I ended up at this
[125:26] dude's house that like
[125:28] >> it was basically like decor.
[125:31] What the [ __ ] is going on here? Yeah.
[125:33] And then I didn't know he like gave me a
[125:35] bottle of it and I was I was little old
[125:38] me in the daily picked someone up and
[125:41] then like holy [ __ ]
[125:44] what are you doing with Afrin? I was
[125:45] like I don't know some guy gave it to me
[125:48] dude that stuff is so addictive and like
[125:51] I was like
[125:56] anyways. All right so back up a little
[125:59] bit in the van story before we decided
[126:01] to go out. this man. Many like quiet
[126:04] conversations about like what we were
[126:06] going to do about this situation because
[126:07] at this point you're a few grand deep
[126:08] into this van.
[126:09] >> What's $7,000 into this?
[126:11] >> Godamn.
[126:11] >> A few
[126:13] >> $7,000 deep into this van. Um, and
[126:19] having a hard time getting into contact
[126:20] with this guy. And I told Drain, I was
[126:23] like, "The next time you do get in
[126:24] contact with him, just [ __ ] call him
[126:27] and be like, "Hey, man. What's up? We're
[126:29] going to be there on Friday." And he's
[126:31] like "Ah
[126:32] eventually what it's like a some larkin
[126:35] party on like a Thursday, a Wednesday or
[126:37] a Thursday, right?
[126:39] >> We were we're standing by the back glass
[126:41] sliding door and somebody got him on the
[126:43] phone."
[126:43] >> Yeah.
[126:44] >> And I don't I think Did you take Allan's
[126:46] phone? Like
[126:47] >> I think so. I think.
[126:48] >> Yeah. So he calls another dude in the
[126:50] house and Dra takes the phone. I hear
[126:52] he's talking.
[126:53] >> Where my van at? He's
[126:55] >> like, "What's up, man?" Oh, it's I'm
[126:56] sorry. It's not. Drain looks at me. I'm
[126:58] like, "Dude, tell tell him we're going
[127:00] to go pick it up. Tell him we're going
[127:01] to be there over the weekend." And he
[127:03] like looks at me. He's like, "Can you do
[127:05] that?" I'll, "I'll never forget this. It
[127:08] was so [ __ ] funny." He goes, "Can you
[127:09] do that?" I was like, "Yes."
[127:12] All right, man. Here's the deal. We're
[127:14] We're getting a flight and we'll be
[127:16] there this weekend. We'll be there to
[127:18] pay. He's like, "It's not going to
[127:19] drive. It's not going to move. Cool.
[127:20] We'll see you then."
[127:22] >> Yep. I don't care. At this point, I just
[127:25] want to see that the van even exists,
[127:26] dude. Like, let me make sure that you
[127:28] didn't.
[127:29] >> Our little asses hop on a last minute
[127:32] flight to Georgia. Um, really cool fur
[127:35] and a
[127:35] >> Frontier Airlines.
[127:37] >> Frontier baby. We got a little airport
[127:40] pickup and some like
[127:42] >> Gilbert.
[127:43] >> Gilbert picked us up in his Mercedes
[127:45] thing.
[127:45] >> Manual E300 thing with like
[127:49] >> crazy car.
[127:50] >> The blown head gasket of time.
[127:51] >> The most blown that a head gasket had
[127:54] ever been. I don't know how that thing
[127:55] was idling, but
[127:56] >> And we went to Waffle House.
[127:58] >> We went to Waffle House, smoked an
[128:00] analog and then slept. Boy, what a crazy
[128:05] night. And then um
[128:06] >> I have not seen the Kia PV5 cargo. What
[128:09] is that?
[128:09] >> Made the drive out. Made the drive out
[128:11] and we show up and this guy said he had
[128:14] a conversion van business, right?
[128:18] >> Um yes. He said that he does Well, not
[128:21] conversion vans. it specifically. He
[128:24] does commercial, but he does cargo vans.
[128:27] Cargo vans.
[128:28] >> He converts
[128:30] >> He converts vans into cargo,
[128:32] >> right? So, we show up and this is like
[128:35] >> we pull up to this property in like god
[128:37] knows where, Georgia,
[128:38] >> TV.
[128:40] >> It's basically like a field
[128:42] >> of like dead Americana. M
[128:45] >> and the van is sitting with the hood
[128:46] open in front of this garage
[128:49] >> or this guy's dad's garage actually
[128:52] >> and
[128:55] he greets us. We walk up like no no no
[128:58] no hard feelings, nothing weird. We're
[129:00] checking it out. The thing runs for like
[129:02] two and a half seconds on like four
[129:04] cylinders and then dies. And we're
[129:07] trying to figure out how we're going to
[129:08] get this thing out. There's an auto zone
[129:10] right around the corner down the street.
[129:11] So lit. No, not even. It was at there
[129:13] was an autozone at the end of his
[129:15] driveway.
[129:16] >> Right. Right. Right. So, no. Literally,
[129:18] literally driveway autozone to the right
[129:21] of the driveway.
[129:22] >> This guy's like, "You're never going to
[129:23] get this thing running. You're never
[129:25] going to drive it back. It's not going
[129:26] to drive back. You get your flight now."
[129:28] >> You know, we had to do to get it to
[129:30] drive. It didn't drive great, but you
[129:32] know what we had to do to get it to
[129:33] drive? Rip out the math.
[129:36] >> Well, okay. Yeah. So, unplugged the math
[129:38] and it would run for like 3 seconds
[129:40] longer. So, it was like
[129:43] start on throttle, throw it in reverse,
[129:45] start on throttle, throw it in reverse,
[129:47] back and forth, limped it out of this
[129:49] guy's driveway. It's likeund and [ __ ]
[129:52] trillion degrees out. It's [ __ ]
[129:54] brutal. And
[129:56] >> in thick,
[129:57] >> all tired because there was like no
[129:59] sleeping
[130:00] uh
[130:01] >> from the previous night.
[130:02] >> Yeah. Provisions were morale was morale
[130:06] was tough.
[130:07] >> I was in a bad mood.
[130:10] It was rough.
[130:12] All of All of the bits were like
[130:14] secondhand. The Etracks were like might
[130:17] as were like cokehan thin.
[130:20] >> No, they're good.
[130:21] >> The the floor
[130:23] >> the floor was installed roughly, but it
[130:26] was installed durably.
[130:27] >> The lighting was like vape shop window
[130:29] lighting that had moss on it previously.
[130:32] >> I have no issues. I I I have I have for
[130:35] the amount of money that I paid, I have
[130:37] no complaints about the van other than
[130:40] that I then had to spend instead of
[130:42] spending $7,000 on a van, I spent $7,000
[130:45] on a van and then 8,000 on additional
[130:47] rentals while waiting for the van to the
[130:50] point that I could have just spent
[130:51] $15,000 on a better van. It ended up
[130:55] being the harness. Ford wraps the engine
[130:58] harness up and over the motor like under
[131:00] the firewall up and over all this EGR
[131:03] [ __ ] on them and the harness had
[131:05] rubbed through what we were getting fuel
[131:07] just pouring out of the exhaust,
[131:09] >> right? So, an injector was hanging open
[131:11] >> and the main
[131:13] >> like it was the MAF and injector harness
[131:16] that came up and over the motor to go
[131:19] wherever the [ __ ] it goes rubbed through
[131:20] on the EGR pipe and it was just all of
[131:23] those all of the injectors in most
[131:25] modern EFI things are ground controlled.
[131:27] They're constant hot. So, if you get a
[131:29] ground, you're just going to be turning
[131:31] something on.
[131:32] >> So, like two of these injectors were
[131:33] just constantly hung open and there was
[131:35] no math signal. But what we ended up at
[131:38] this guy Duke's place. What a lifesaver.
[131:40] >> Yeah. Duke limp this thing
[131:42] >> real quick.
[131:43] >> Real quick. So it was funny too because
[131:45] he the last time before we decided to go
[131:48] down there, the last time I had actually
[131:49] gotten him on the phone to talk was a
[131:51] couple months before and he told me, "I
[131:53] fixed it. I got it fixed. It was the
[131:56] throttle body. The throttle body was the
[131:59] problem." So he had replaced the
[132:02] throttle body. He said, "I replaced the
[132:03] throttle body and we started I drove it
[132:06] around and it drove great. It drove
[132:09] amazingly." And then I I was like,
[132:13] "Great." He's like, "I just got a couple
[132:15] finishing touches. I'm going to call you
[132:16] next week and we'll I'll bring it up to
[132:18] you. I'm going to drive it up to you." I
[132:20] said, "Great. No problem." And then I
[132:23] didn't hear from him for two months.
[132:25] Calls, texts, everything. Nothing.
[132:27] Finally got it back again. He's like,
[132:28] "The damn thing stopped working again."
[132:30] Blah blah blah. So, the the running
[132:31] theory the running theory is that when
[132:34] he went to replace the throttle body, he
[132:37] moved this bundle of wires like out of
[132:40] the way
[132:42] >> and it was keeping it from contacting
[132:46] anything
[132:47] >> be just by the nature of he had moved
[132:50] the wires to replace the throttle body
[132:52] because then we were like the only
[132:54] reason we found it is because we were
[132:56] like let's check the throttle body that
[132:58] this guy installed cuz it some like
[133:00] cheap ass block. We pulled the throttle
[133:03] body out and it was like bam, there's a
[133:06] rat's nest of like frayed exposed wires.
[133:09] So basically the dude the thing had
[133:11] never run on all eight cylinders ever.
[133:13] Cylinder I cylinder six and eight were
[133:16] like had been dead for a minute.
[133:19] >> Yeah.
[133:20] >> So he had like he had like replaced the
[133:22] throttle body and then it was running
[133:24] fine because the harness was away but
[133:26] overdriv it. It just vibrated itself
[133:29] back towards and so these wires were
[133:31] just grounding
[133:32] >> cooked cooked that new throttle body. We
[133:34] had to put another throttle body in it.
[133:35] >> Yeah,
[133:36] >> we had to put another throttle body in
[133:37] it. Another
[133:38] >> 200 bucks or whatever.
[133:39] >> Another not Matt Matt.
[133:41] >> We saw the we saw the crash out of a
[133:44] lifetime in the Auto Zone. Remember that
[133:46] guy who came in and started freaking
[133:47] out? We went into the AutoZone and there
[133:49] were three people in line and this this
[133:52] guy walked in and wanted immediate
[133:54] service. He wanted to jump the line and
[133:56] get immediate service. They told him he
[133:58] had to wait for the three other people
[134:00] that were in line. And the dude just
[134:02] started freaking out. I need service
[134:04] right now. And his like wife was with
[134:06] him or something. The wife was like,
[134:08] >> the wife left.
[134:09] >> The wife is like, oh my god. The wife
[134:12] like walked out the door. She's like,
[134:14] uh-uh. I'm like, oh my god. You know,
[134:16] this guy's doing this all the time. So
[134:17] that was funny.
[134:18] >> That was super funny. And the guy, I
[134:20] remember the the employee, it was just
[134:21] some like 16-year-old kid like looking
[134:23] at us and we were like [ __ ] cackling.
[134:24] He was like, I made it enough for this
[134:26] [ __ ]
[134:27] >> Yeah, literally the kid was he was like,
[134:29] I don't
[134:29] >> and then he just like cowed it up with
[134:31] us and I left him a sick ass review and
[134:33] like name dropped him so [ __ ] so his
[134:35] store manager would see it.
[134:37] >> But um yeah, [ __ ] We did that I did
[134:40] that harness at what was it like 3:00 or
[134:42] 4:00 a.m. at place?
[134:43] >> It was freaking late.
[134:44] >> It was rough. I had the iron out like
[134:47] halfway in the bay.
[134:49] >> I want to give a shout out. Thank you so
[134:51] much. Uh Gatsby dead. I drive a
[134:54] 5-year-old RAV 4 hybrid and barely know
[134:57] car specs, but you all make great stuff

[135:16] doing it. Uh, by the way, what's going
[135:18] on here in Instagram is just uh our
[135:21] drive back with um with I think yeah,
[135:26] this is when we drove crazy taxi to
[135:28] Cincinnati
[135:31] um where it had fuel injection in it,
[135:34] but it still had the mechanical fan and
[135:38] the copper radiator in it. So, we were
[135:41] still doing about 205°
[135:45] on the highway. So, but now, you know,
[135:48] all that thing's got to go to Miller
[135:50] Mountain High Performance. Shout out to

[136:10] never broken.
[136:12] >> True.
[136:13] >> It's one of those like Toyota picked
[136:15] that up in the 90s. You just ignore it
[136:17] and eventually it'll go away or not.
[136:21] >> Oh man, that was such a fun trip. That
[136:23] was so crazy. I bought an air mattress
[136:25] and like

[136:41] AC the AC dude was like breaking up with
[136:44] his girlfriend in the back of his van as
[136:46] we're driving. The AC only blows barely
[136:50] cold and only out of like the defroster
[136:53] vents. The front ones don't work.
[136:55] >> The blend door the blendor vacuum line
[136:57] is broken.

[137:09] trillion degrees for the rest of time.
[137:11] >> And then I got home. We got home smooth.
[137:13] That thing drove great back, man.
[137:14] Perfect [ __ ] bang on alignment.

[140:27] you something. I was like ah we'll put a
[140:29] better we'll put a better seat in the
[140:31] middle. Well, let me tell you, one of my
[140:32] favorite slogans is there's no there's
[140:34] nothing more permanent than a temporary
[140:37] solution. That seat is still in my van.
[140:42] >> Still being used.
[140:44] >> Still is used to illegally transport a

[141:28] reliable fuel injected vehicle.
[141:31] >> That car did not have a bad head gasket
[141:34] because of the usual issues. It was in a
[141:36] frontend collision that shifted the head
[141:39] back on the block
[141:43] enough.
[141:44] >> Oh, here we go. Here's K passed out
[141:48] in the back of this thing.

[143:08] stuff.
[143:09] >> Dude gave you a ton of stuff.
[143:11] >> Um
[143:12] >> this is on Instagram. This is when I was
[143:13] on
[143:15] This was when I was on Vin Wiki and I
[143:17] got to take a picture like there's
[143:19] nothing in this room other than all this
[143:22] [ __ ] in the background and then they
[143:25] just light it really well and then
[143:26] there's a microphone like right on top
[143:28] of you where where I just and there's
[143:31] like some headers his like $10,000
[143:35] $10,000 10 thou $100,000 follower thing
[143:38] and a bunch of other stuff. But
[143:40] everything else in this room, this is
[143:42] like an Opair suite at uh
[143:47] at at his house, like on the top. And
[143:49] there's me just [ __ ] around doing a
[143:51] contortionist bit in front of a Spiker
[143:53] C8 that he had. Yeah.
[143:57] Yeah. Ed Bolan. Nice guy. I mean, you
[144:00] got to climb over like a lot to get into
[144:03] the Spiker C8. Oh, yeah. And I was at
[144:06] the time, this was like right after I
[144:07] came out of the closet. So everything I
[144:10] would do, I would just get in the cars
[144:12] like I I'm in a Spike Cy8 and I'm gay.
[144:18] We got off this one character like 1930s
[144:20] guy.
[144:21] >> What is going on with the side window?
[144:24] >> Half windows, right?
[144:25] >> Yeah. So it's like a Delorean
[144:27] >> or because you can't because the way the
[144:31] door is and there's all that linkage is
[144:32] in there. They can't have a full window
[144:34] going down. My Sarah was the exact same
[144:36] way. Am I telling you, Sarah?
[144:38] >> Just the bottom.
[144:39] >> Just the bottom half goes down.
[144:41] >> There's so much [ __ ] in that door that
[144:43] it doesn't have room for a full window.
[144:45] >> It's like that. It's like that kind of
[144:47] on a XJ Cherokee. XJ Cherokee, right?
[144:51] The Cherokee Classic. The rear windows
[144:54] are only kind of like 3/4 windows.
[144:57] >> That's I think that was a safety. The
[144:58] Pathfinders like that. SUVs from town
[145:01] does to a
[145:02] >> [ __ ]
[145:05] like
[145:07] your chat so we can see.
[145:08] >> Okay.
[145:09] >> Yeah, they're referencing I was never on
[145:11] technically I was never on Cometown but
[145:13] I was on the Adam Freeland show. Um so
[145:18] >> and I don't have a a picture of uh I
[145:21] have it on my old computer which is in
[145:22] my room. Like there's a bit Oh, there is
[145:25] the story. That's a story one time where
[145:27] I got freaking screwed out of the
[145:28] original galaxy that Lance and Muzzy was
[145:30] on. This guy, the guy who sold me, not
[145:32] Bruce, he he's in there. Um, but the guy
[145:35] who I bought that from total total like
[145:37] white supremacist like he's saying I'm
[145:39] living leaving Allentown. There's too
[145:41] many Mexic not Allentown. Wils or uh
[145:43] >> Wilsbury.
[145:44] >> Uh, no. Uh, Hazelton. He's leaving
[145:47] Hazelton. There's too many Mexican
[145:48] there. Now I I kind of st I thought I
[145:51] got a great deal. $7,000 for like a um
[145:55] what was it? A 6065 or 66 Galaxy um with
[145:59] a small block in it and headers and like
[146:01] that. But the whole frame was rusted and
[146:02] I ended up selling on a guy to uh who
[146:05] redid it and uh if any of you guys are
[146:08] not in the East Coast and into like old
[146:10] [ __ ]
[146:13] Lucky you. Yeah, this was a giveaway
[146:15] that we had one time. A freaking
[146:16] lightning
[146:17] >> wild. Yeah, these were like when we were
[146:19] kid like right before inflation, our
[146:22] giveaways were amazing
[146:24] and like Yeah, like Z28 Camaro. Like I
[146:29] got a little bit tired of like American
[146:31] V8 stuff. Um, but Oh yeah, here's the
[146:36] original concepts when I was designing
[146:38] Crazy Taxi just making like really bad
[146:41] >> uh Photoshops of stuff trying to make
[146:44] it.
[146:45] >> Stance Nation. Okay, that's that's
[146:48] incredibly ironic. My green E36 M3, I
[146:52] don't think you ever knew that car, but
[146:54] that was the original Stance Works car
[146:56] >> that 1552 debuted the five they're like
[146:59] classic [ __ ] Focus ST five-spokes.
[147:02] >> Yeah. On.
[147:03] >> Yeah,
[147:04] >> that was one that that was an older RCR
[147:07] um video,
[147:09] >> man. We got screwed on the E36 M3.
[147:12] >> We did. Yeah. Um, oh, shout out Foxbody.
[147:17] It was like the only time I had a legit
[147:19] celebrity on the show, Ian Fance. Uh,
[147:22] uh, from now he's got a show, uh, Ian
[147:24] Doo.
[147:24] >> Did you slide that thing around?
[147:26] >> I kicked it sideways, but he had never
[147:28] been in a car going sideways.
[147:30] >> You know, honestly, like he's pretty
[147:31] good at driving stick. Uh, shout out to
[147:33] Ian Fance. Um, that thing had a built
[147:36] uh, T-56 uh,
[147:39] >> transmission. Yeah. Yeah. A really
[147:40] grabby one instantly. I would stall it
[147:42] like every second time I drove it. He
[147:44] drove it for a full day. Didn't do
[147:46] anything. What I feel bad is that he
[147:47] asked, "Can I do that?" And I'm like,
[147:49] "Yeah, I guess." And then he didn't get
[147:50] a chance to like whip it around the
[147:51] parking lot. But at the same time, maybe
[147:53] it was better because that was when I
[147:55] was filming at my old gym and I had a
[147:57] good relationship with him
[147:58] >> and I didn't want to just have people
[148:00] just like uh
[148:02] >> beating on [ __ ]
[148:02] >> Yeah. I'd like to find a new place where
[148:04] I could just hoon around on cars.
[148:05] >> Spot.
[148:06] >> Yeah. Um Oh, yeah. There's him. It's
[148:09] funny thing like that picture right
[148:12] here. Uh I don't know why it's doing
[148:14] that. Uh is downstairs in the bar where
[148:16] he was with uh
[148:19] Is it going to reset it to the top? No,
[148:21] there it is. where he was with uh um
[148:26] Greg, my uh guy was uh my friend back in
[148:29] Orsburg and his uh 69 um Mustang and 69
[148:35] fastback, but not a GT 390 or or
[148:39] anything. It just had the um it just had
[148:42] a 3 302 in it and a four barrel. That
[148:46] was it.
[148:47] >> They're cool.
[148:48] >> Yeah, it made a good noise. But the
[148:49] thing is that this particular car, even
[148:51] though it was the Fox body, even though
[148:52] it had a trim with like the stock air
[148:54] dam in the front and the driving lights,
[148:57] >> still had the top loader 3-speed manual.
[149:00] >> So, whoever o whoever bought that,
[149:04] whoever ordered that car wanted the 302
[149:07] small block, wanted the fastback,
[149:09] driving lights, spoiler, did not care to
[149:11] have a four-speed.
[149:13] Wanted the base toploader 3-speed.
[149:16] >> It's the dumbest. I want a Mustang.
[149:20] >> Yeah, it's like first gear and that for
[149:24] those of you who never don't know what
[149:25] I'm talking about with a the top loader
[149:28] Ford transmission, it's a 3-speed
[149:30] manual. Now, most of these were found on
[149:34] column shift cars like the Grandpa, you
[149:36] know 100.
[149:37] >> Yeah. Yeah, just [ __ ]
[149:39] >> your first gear is just put it in first
[149:42] and then second immediately second
[149:46] and then third at like 30 25 m an hour
[149:50] and then it's go go go go go go go go go
[149:51] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:51] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:52] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:52] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:52] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:53] go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[149:53] go go go go go go all day long you only
[149:54] go back down into first at a stoplight
[149:57] so it's literally you're throwing it
[149:58] from second to third as you drive
[150:00] >> I love seeing like the newer generation
[150:02] get those [ __ ] like grandpa 3-speed
[150:04] trucks and just like like power shift
[150:07] the column
[150:08] It's so [ __ ] funny. Every time like
[150:10] our little reel comes up on my Instagram
[150:11] of some dude just this motion this like
[150:15] >> go. Yeah.
[150:17] >> And you don't have to They're just tiny
[150:20] like they're the lightest lightest
[150:22] shifters you'll ever have.
[150:23] >> I had a I had a 59 Mercedes 180D diesel
[150:29] and that was a four-speed column shift.
[150:33] >> Uh someone said had a 3-speed on a 65
[150:36] Falcon. That was the one. Yeah.
[150:38] >> Oh, that's cool.
[150:41] There's no real way to search
[150:44] through. Oh, and by the way, I should do
[150:46] another shout out for the giveaway. Um,

[152:12] has to get so bad.
[152:14] >> It has to get like cable TV. It has to
[152:16] get like to like reality TV in like
[152:19] 2006. It has to get so disgusting
[152:23] no one cares anymore. And then there's a
[152:26] resurgence sort of like new Hollywood in
[152:28] the 1970s.
[152:30] You know, I think YouTube finally killed
[152:32] reality TV. Like honestly, like people

[153:22] K was touching himself while driving it.
[153:25] He had a third hand. I don't know where

[156:03] Theodore Dryer, Sister Carrie. Thank you
[156:05] so much. And now back to Drain. And the
[156:08] So when we left the story of the van,
[156:11] >> it is now running. You replaced the
[156:13] wiring harness. Oh, we were at the
[156:14] story. It has the school chair in it.
[156:17] >> Oh yeah. I mean that that's the
[156:19] conclusion of the story really. We got
[156:21] it back and and for what it's worth
[156:22] because I I saw all of the 54 haters in
[156:25] the comments asking me when it was going
[156:27] to explode. I'll have you know it runs
[156:30] like a freaking tank.
[156:31] >> It does. It has been
[156:34] >> I do really need to change the oil cuz
[156:38] >> it's a [ __ ] economy.
[156:39] >> The oil that it's in has been to from
[156:41] Philadelphia to Reno, Nevada, back to
[156:44] Philadelphia, then to Wisconsin, then
[156:47] back from Wisconsin, then to Boston,
[156:49] then back from Boston, then back to
[156:51] Wisconsin, and then back to
[156:53] Philadelphia.
[156:54] >> Hey, a very responsible Russian man has
[156:56] been driving it. That [ __ ]
[156:58] >> That's true.
[156:59] >> Yep,
[156:59] >> that's true. True. That oil is probably
[157:00] [ __ ] crystal clear.
[157:02] >> Probably. I mean, I do pancakes in the
[157:04] morning. I do check it. It does not burn
[157:06] oil and the oil still looks good even
[157:08] 10,000 mi later.
[157:10] >> I'll be honest, my stepdad, he's got a
[157:12] like an O2 F-150 XLT uh 54 that he's had
[157:17] since like 50,000 miles. It's got over
[157:20] 300,000 miles on it now. They're pretty
[157:22] damn solid, not going to lie. They'll
[157:24] last forever.
[157:24] >> Yep.
[157:25] >> Maintain your [ __ ]
[157:27] >> Crazy concept. Crazy concept. Maintain
[157:30] your vehicle.
[157:32] >> But that thing that thing's been really
[157:33] good. It had a problem once. I'll tell
[157:35] you about a problem it had once. Drain
[157:37] pulls up. It's like, "This shit's making
[157:39] a [ __ ] crazy noise.
[157:41] >> I'm going to drive it forever in two
[157:43] seconds."
[157:44] >> Uh, a lug nut fell off. End of story. It
[157:47] went back on and it's still on the road.
[157:49] It's good. The
[157:50] >> log nut fell off into the dog bowl. I
[157:52] got the dog bowl wheel covers. Every
[157:54] time Every time that thing goes
[157:56] anywhere, it's a a conol line that the
[158:00] the panels are intact.
[158:01] >> Uhhuh.
[158:02] >> It's an East Coast like basically a
[158:05] crypted.
[158:06] >> The underside is super clean.
[158:07] >> Yeah, it's got the stickers on the frame
[158:10] still.
[158:10] >> The the the suspension doobie sounding a
[158:12] little some kind of way.
[158:14] >> Just ignore it.
[158:15] >> Just ignore it.
[158:16] >> Turn up the road noise.
[158:17] >> Didn't you find like crazy ass like
[158:20] headers that we could put on it? like
[158:22] some insane like header kit that we
[158:25] could put on it. I think I think like
[158:27] the Chinese company OBX makes a [ __ ]
[158:29] $90 header kit for it.
[158:31] >> Yeah. Yeah. We got to like So, we got to
[158:34] we got to
[158:34] >> render exits.
[158:35] >> We got to maybe I'm going to I'll see if
[158:38] I can convince uh
[158:39] >> Dude, I'm sorry.
[158:40] >> I'll see if I'm in his chair.
[158:43] >> I'll see if I can I'll see if I can I'll
[158:45] see. Yeah. Well, you know what? I just
[158:47] always end up in charge of stuff, don't
[158:49] I? All right.
[158:50] >> Uh, I'll see if I can convince Brian to
[158:52] do a van series as we as we bling it
[158:54] out.
[158:55] >> Oh, yeah. We I did um
[158:58] >> You ever
[159:00] >> I don't You know what? Here, let me just
[159:02] search RCR's thing to see if we did we
[159:05] did a uh Chevy Express that belonged to
[159:08] >> uh Matt's dad.
[159:10] >> No, the Chevy Express is cool.
[159:11] >> The Do you know this the story? Oh, let
[159:13] me pull up the Chevy Express. There's I
[159:15] got to hand you the mic a second.
[159:18] Uh,
[159:22] RCR
[159:25] RCR realistically the random madness of
[159:28] cracks in the pavement is a is a funky
[159:31] comment.
[159:32] >> Yeah.
[159:33] >> What did they say?
[159:34] >> I don't think AI could realistically
[159:36] random madness of cracks in the
[159:37] pavement. Yeah. Okay. So this this um
[159:40] this Chevy Express belonged to my uh
[159:42] friend's dad and he he was a uh Finnish
[159:47] carpenter and his specialty was just
[159:51] like uh blinds just like custom blinds
[159:55] >> 5 years ago.
[159:56] >> Yeah, that's a cool color.
[159:58] >> Now this was his work van. Yeah, rust.
[160:02] Constant rust over
[160:03] >> again. East just ignore it. This thing
[160:08] was running
[160:08] >> will go away.
[160:09] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[160:10] >> The rust will go away on its own.
[160:12] Nothing about
[160:12] >> the the thing about this is that it had
[160:15] and I guess I'm talking about, you know,
[160:18] other countries in their vans like,
[160:20] yeah, this is what we deal with. This
[160:22] thing would not pass inspection, but at
[160:24] the time it had fresh inspection on it.
[160:26] So, we wanted to sell it for $1,000.
[160:28] That means whoever could buy this could
[160:30] get a year's worth of work for a $1,000
[160:32] van.
[160:33] >> Bucks. I was getting it for $1,000 for a
[160:35] week.
[160:36] >> Yeah. Now, there's something very Philly
[160:40] specific about this van. Why
[160:44] would a carpenter want the passenger
[160:46] van?
[160:49] And it's something so specific to Philly
[160:53] because commercial vehicles are not
[160:54] allowed on Kelly Drive.
[160:56] >> Oh my god. Really? But this now this is
[161:00] a this is he knows where everything is.
[161:03] >> So you know that's the same reason
[161:04] because commercial ve you know about New
[161:06] York
[161:07] >> commercial vehicles are not allowed on
[161:09] any of the parkways in and around New
[161:12] York City which is why uh
[161:17] now if Matt's dad had the cargo version
[161:19] of that van
[161:20] >> that's why this became a thing.
[161:23] see these cargo vans that have these
[161:26] little like single port hole in the side
[161:29] of it. That is because in the state of
[161:31] New York, that one little port hole
[161:34] makes this a non-commercial vehicle and
[161:37] that makes it that you can drive it on
[161:39] all the parkways in and around New York.
[161:41] >> Did not know that.
[161:42] >> That's what that's for.
[161:44] >> [ __ ] off.
[161:44] >> We were talking about that at some
[161:46] point. I remember you telling me that.
[161:47] Yeah, because I was telling I' I tell my
[161:49] guys when we go to Boston and
[161:50] Connecticut and whatever for these shows
[161:52] that they can't drive they can't drive
[161:54] my van on any of the parkways because
[161:57] even though my van is registered to me
[161:58] as a person, it's still considered a
[162:01] commercial use vehicle. That little
[162:04] window, the description says, "Oh, if it
[162:06] has a window, if it has a side passenger
[162:08] window in the back, then it is not a
[162:10] commercial vehicle." So, they put the
[162:13] smallest window allowed by regulations
[162:16] in the back.
[162:18] >> I just had a vision.
[162:20] >> I just had a vision of me having to
[162:23] [ __ ] install
[162:24] >> to cut a port hole window in the side of
[162:26] the van.
[162:28] >> You're not the only one that knows how
[162:29] to use a sawzaw.
[162:31] >> Biggest hole saw on eBay.
[162:33] >> Is this your generation? Cuz this is
[162:35] Dylan's old hot shot van. I think he
[162:37] still has.
[162:37] >> Yeah.
[162:38] >> 2006.
[162:40] >> Yeah. Yeah. Look at the underneath of
[162:41] that.
[162:42] >> Mine looks awesome compared to this.
[162:44] >> Yeah. Well, I think
[162:46] >> I think we already covered then the
[162:48] Econoline van. Sorry.
[162:49] >> Well, that is a E350, I will say.
[162:52] >> And yours is a
[162:53] >> 250.
[162:54] >> Oh,
[162:55] >> 250.
[162:56] >> It's a different tow rating.
[162:57] >> Completely different. Completely
[162:59] different vehicle. No, it's the same
[163:01] [ __ ]
[163:01] >> Okay.
[163:04] He's not He's not doing hot shot stuff
[163:05] anymore. I forget what he's doing.
[163:08] I really I really want to know what the
[163:11] ridiculous thing that you found was K.
[163:13] Like you found like 2006 E250
[163:17] headers
[163:19] >> like he K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K
[163:21] K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K
[163:21] K K K K K found like this ridiculous
[163:23] like
[163:23] >> Wait, wait, hold on.
[163:26] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[163:27] >> No, no, no. That's F250. Hold on. I
[163:29] swear to God they were like OBX and they
[163:32] were like 90 bucks.
[163:36] >> Oops. job.
[163:42] >> Flow tag shorty headers.
[163:45] >> Yeah, there we go.
[163:46] >> Uh, this is the econ 100 200.
[163:50] >> Yeah, E2003. What?
[163:52] >> No, dude.
[163:53] >> Is that That's different.
[163:54] >> That's older. That's way older.
[163:55] >> Yeah,
[163:58] >> that's for whatever reason. Whenever I
[163:59] get some shitty [ __ ] vehicle, I'm
[164:02] just immediately curious if this
[164:04] ridiculous vehicle
[164:05] >> do it.
[164:06] >> Who Who's putting headers on an Econaut
[164:08] line?
[164:09] >> So, this is like this is this is like we
[164:11] said, this is for a 250, but it was
[164:13] imagine this. It was basically this like
[164:15] for
[164:18] >> But the thing we saw was like a complete
[164:19] kit. There was like an exhaust and
[164:21] everything.
[164:22] >> It's so funny.
[164:24] I mean, hey, it's got a motor and it
[164:26] burns fuel. People mess with it.

[164:42] transmissions.
[164:45] >> Shilling the head.
[164:47] >> We got all the gear lube you could ever
[164:49] want.
[164:52] >> Come on. I got 3D 3D printed window
[164:55] cranks. Polished billet aluminum.

[170:39] >> Yeah,
[170:42] >> but yeah, we're we're talking about the
[170:43] same thing.
[170:45] >> That that alone is funny. This man here
[170:48] is teaching me what's cool about
[170:50] American cars because I still am
[170:53] struggling
[170:54] to figure it out.
[170:55] >> It's you have you have you have to
[170:58] embrace the suck like okay my love of of
[171:02] of 60s American cars is well known. Um
[171:06] I've only owned American cars from that
[171:08] era. Well with the exception okay my
[171:11] very first car was a year 2000 Dodge
[171:13] Neon. So that even though it was, you
[171:16] know, you know, partly Mitsubishi.
[171:19] >> No, wait. That one was running the
[171:20] single jingle uh
[171:25] American 4 engine of some sort.
[171:27] >> Yeah.
[171:28] >> Yeah.
[171:29] >> And even then, it was still made in
[171:31] Canada those years. Those were Canada
[171:33] assembly uh Dodges. So, but yeah, that
[171:36] was the only other like non-classic '
[171:38] 60s car I've ever had. Um,
[171:41] >> what what terms do I search to find
[171:42] someone who like ridiculously modified

[173:24] >> Oh my god. Goodness gracious.
[173:28] This thing is geeking me, bro. I love
[173:30] this.
[173:30] >> There's a [ __ ] Tik Tok. What is that
[173:32] [ __ ]
[173:32] >> But I look kind of
[173:33] >> No, they're weird, but they're like
[173:35] cool.
[173:35] >> Yeah, I love them.
[173:38] >> It was on the left.
[173:40] >> That's the That's the super long john.
[173:43] >> Super
[173:43] >> extended wheelbase.
[173:46] And then the mini wheelbase.
[173:48] >> The super short Jimmy.
[173:52] >> We scrunched it.
[173:54] >> This
[173:56] I love that.
[173:57] >> Okay, but here's the thing. That's what
[173:58] you expect. That's normal. That's what
[174:00] I'm saying. People are going to put
[174:02] ladders on these. They're going to put
[174:03] giant wheels on them. They're going to
[174:05] make it No, you're going to make it an
[174:07] off-roader. That's the obvious solution.
[174:10] That's an obvious solution.
[174:12] >> You know, that photo was taken in the
[174:14] back of like a Walmart out in the west
[174:16] where the ground just turns into
[174:17] nothing.
[174:17] >> Dude, I'm talking about taking All
[174:20] right. I have a dream that I really want
[174:22] to do where I want to take I want to
[174:24] take I I think doing like doing like low
[174:27] rider mods to massive vehicles is a
[174:30] hilarious concept. I and this is I'm I'm
[174:32] copyrighting this right here right now.
[174:35] I really want to get a uh a used
[174:38] ambulance. I want to purchase it, drop
[174:41] it to the floor, neon under it, spinners
[174:44] and all that. And I want to replace all
[174:46] the lights with party lights and call it
[174:49] the slambulence.
[174:50] >> That is a good name.
[174:52] >> That dude in Maryland, he used to rock
[174:54] up to H2Y and he had the X police
[174:57] explorer
[174:58] >> and that thing was like on the ground
[175:01] and he called it the um [ __ ] what was
[175:03] it? It was like the
[175:06] It was something super clever. I don't
[175:08] know. It was like stance police or
[175:09] whatever, but he used to get pulled over
[175:10] all the time in Ocean City with it and I
[175:12] thought it was so funny.
[175:17] Yeah. Yeah. Exactly like this. Is that a
[175:19] real image?
[175:20] >> The second page.
[175:24] >> Oh god.
[175:29] >> Do this to Jay's ambulance.
[175:31] >> Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? This
[175:32] would go so hard.
[175:35] >> Imagine Imagine you're having a heart
[175:37] attack and they're like, "We'll be right
[175:38] there." When you can feel the base
[175:40] thumping in your chest, that's how you
[175:42] know we're getting close. Did I love
[175:44] like
[175:51] >> Yeah. More like they see me rolling,
[175:54] they hating.
[175:55] >> Yeah, dude. Yeah, this is the move for
[175:57] sure.
[175:58] >> Pull up to that. Pull up with that.
[176:00] >> I'm seeing more cars in Philly running
[176:02] purple LEDs on their tail lights.
[176:07] Yeah, just like their their like normal
[176:11] like non-break lights. to replace them
[176:12] with purples. And I guess that's maybe
[176:15] in some weird way a throwback to those
[176:17] Harley-Davidson guys who put the little
[176:19] purple lenses on their tail lights to
[176:21] get like a tiny little hole saw because
[176:23] apparently that's more visible. I didn't
[176:25] see anything.
[176:26] >> I lowered my van so it works less.
[176:28] >> Yeah. Yeah.
[176:31] >> Yeah. I'm on the Okay. Function over
[176:34] bandwagon.
[176:37] >> Yeah.
[176:37] >> I need a new chair. I've been rocking
[176:40] this chair for a few years.
[176:42] >> I can send you an amazing
[176:43] recommendation.
[176:44] >> Yeah.
[176:44] >> Yep. I got a chair on Amazon. It was
[176:46] like a hundred bucks. It's awesome.
[176:47] >> Oh, damn. Cuz the one I Let's look at my
[176:50] Amazon order.
[176:51] >> All right, let's look on slammed office
[176:54] chair. Look it up right now.
[176:57] >> In my uh
[176:58] >> slammed office chair on 22s.
[177:00] >> What? Let's put like a motor on like a
[177:03] on like a fivewheel like
[177:05] >> Dude, I I want I want to build a [ __ ]
[177:08] like a motorized keg. $1,500 was the
[177:11] chair I was looking at.
[177:12] >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[177:13] >> Okay, let me let me let me provide I
[177:16] have a degree, Bachelor of Science in
[177:18] Interior Design.
[177:19] >> Yeah,
[177:20] >> I can tell you this right now.
[177:21] Steelcase.
[177:23] >> Yeah,
[177:23] >> just be adding a zero to the end of
[177:28] everything.
[177:28] >> Oh, really?
[177:29] >> That you could that has a whole
[177:32] additional decimal place more than it
[177:35] should.
[177:35] >> Oh,
[177:37] >> like why? No. Why? Why? Tell me actually
[177:41] why you would spend $1,500 on an office
[177:44] chair. Because
[177:46] I have, you know, the that curved back.
[177:49] It's always hurting me. It never my back
[177:52] never is not really hurting unless I'm
[177:55] at a convention and I'm going up and
[177:56] down stairs. Like I have a difficult
[177:58] time standing for extended periods of
[178:01] time. Now, if I'm jogging, if I'm
[178:03] running, if I'm walking, no problem. Ask
[178:05] me to stand still. It's like
[178:07] >> I'm the same way. Yeah. No, I completely
[178:09] understand that.
[178:09] >> I need to I need to do like Jonathan
[178:11] like Commander Riker from Star Trek
[178:14] NextG and I need to be putting my leg up
[178:16] on something
[178:17] >> from Star Trek.
[178:18] >> Oh my god.
[178:20] >> What did the act
[178:21] >> Don't worry about it.
[178:22] >> Oh, because he always the character just
[178:25] gets [ __ ]
[178:26] >> There there was a there was a there was
[178:27] a like Charlie the Unicorn skit where
[178:29] someone mentioned like Riker and they
[178:31] were like, "Who's Riker?" And the guy
[178:33] just goes, "The rapist from Star Trek."
[178:35] >> Oh, okay.
[178:36] >> All right. No, like
[178:39] in regards to this dude, like the the
[178:42] Okay,
[178:45] this works on the same principle that
[178:48] like take take liquor for example. Okay,
[178:52] >> liquor is when it comes to price is
[178:55] diminishing returns.
[178:56] >> Mhm.
[178:57] >> When you buy, let's take like whiskey.
[179:00] >> Mhm.
[179:00] >> You buy a $10 bottle of whiskey, it is
[179:03] going to be bad.
[179:04] >> Yeah. You buy a $20 bottle of whiskey,
[179:06] it is going to be good.
[179:08] >> $50 bottle of whiskey, real good.
[179:11] >> A $100 bottle of whiskey, great. A $200
[179:16] bottle of whiskey, excellent.
[179:20] >> A $1,000 bottle of whiskey, just as good
[179:23] as the $200 bottle of whiskey.
[179:25] >> You reach a price point where it's like
[179:27] above this. You're paying for something
[179:29] else other than the quality. And when it
[179:31] comes to steel case, the main thing that
[179:34] you're paying for is like a warranty
[179:37] >> and just a name brand. At this point,
[179:42] chairs like this have been
[179:43] deconstructed, rebuilt so many billions
[179:46] of times that you can get a chair just
[179:48] as good. In my opinion, the most money
[179:50] that you should spend, in my opinion, as
[179:52] a person with a bachelor of science in
[179:54] this stuff, the most money you should
[179:56] ever spend on a chair like this is 500
[179:59] bucks. And anything more than that, you
[180:01] are just wasting money on something.
[180:03] >> Okay. All right.
[180:05] >> In my opinion,
[180:06] >> I will confer to you later when it comes
[180:07] time to replace
[180:09] >> this chair. Yeah.
[180:10] >> Yeah. I like the chairs that when you
[180:11] sit on them, the gas cylinders explode
[180:12] and impale you.
[180:14] >> They really keep it fresh. It's happened
[180:17] a few times.
[180:18] >> This is my
[180:21] third computer chair since
[180:25] moving back from Alaska. That's my
[180:28] first. This is my second. That'll be it.
[180:32] So, I have No, no, excuse me. There was
[180:34] one. This is my fourth. There was one
[180:36] just like this, but it was the leather
[180:37] one, and it was really bad leather. It
[180:40] was fake leather, and it just started
[180:41] peeling apart. So, I just got the same
[180:43] chair in fabric.
[180:46] >> But now, this is like slouch magic 9000.
[180:48] And honestly, this beatup chair is
[180:50] really bad for my back. I should really
[180:52] be sitting when I'm doing my work.
[180:54] Probably in one of those folding chairs.
[180:56] It probably be better for me. Oh,
[180:57] >> this thing's kicking my ass, dude.
[180:59] >> Oh, hell yeah.
[181:00] >> What the [ __ ]
[181:02] >> Look at the wheels on that. Hold on.
[181:03] Show him that,
[181:05] >> dude. In the cinema.
[181:07] >> Do you have to have a CDL to sit in that
[181:09] thing?
[181:10] >> A E R R O N.
[181:13] >> It's got the wheel.
[181:15] >> Let me Let me in big
[181:19] >> The hell is that thing?
[181:21] >> That's the future Mr. regular chair,
[181:24] bro. That's it.
[181:27] >> Oh my god.
[181:28] >> He's telling you to pull up a Herman
[181:29] Miller Aeron chair.
[181:30] >> That's what that is.
[181:31] >> Too much money.
[181:32] >> No, that's not an Aeron chair. The
[181:34] Aeron. Just look it up.
[181:36] >> All right. Don't look it up on Amazon.
[181:38] Look it up on Google.

[181:40] >> A E R O N

[181:43] >> That's an S A alpha.
[181:48] >> Yep. Aeron chair by Herman Miller. This
[181:51] is like this chair. This this chair was
[181:55] made in like the '60s for the first
[181:58] time. And this just like this was the
[182:02] great grandfather of the this is like
[182:05] the the alpha office chair.
[182:08] >> All office chairs of time have stemmed
[182:11] from this chair
[182:13] >> more or less
[182:15] >> and they still make it.
[182:16] >> They
[182:17] >> but obviously modernized.
[182:18] >> Okay. So it's like a [ __ ] it's a
[182:20] Herman Miller price. So many of them out
[182:22] there.
[182:23] >> Yes. Look up original. Just out of
[182:25] curiosity, look up original Aeron chair.
[182:29] >> I'm just going to look up on Facebook
[182:30] Marketplace. Now, for people for people

[183:20] >> I'm sorry I uh O N
[183:23] >> should clarify the Aeron was introduced
[183:25] in 1994 not the 1960s. Uh I was thinking
[183:29] of something else. I was also the
[183:32] development began in the 1970s but the
[183:35] chair was released.
[183:36] >> Now my question about all these mesh
[183:38] chairs I was also released.
[183:40] >> The mesh is going to get worn out,
[183:41] right?
[183:42] >> No, it's it's pretty resilient.
[183:46] >> It's pretty they're pretty strong.
[183:48] They're like the de facto corporate
[183:51] [ __ ] office chair.

[188:14] fan of them.com/regular cars. That's how
[188:15] you get in to win this. This car is
[188:17] wrapped. This is a black wrap.
[188:20] Originally, this car was white on
[188:24] silver. It's a decent wrap, but this is
[188:26] that they they wrapped it black on
[188:28] silver. A more two-tone. They came like
[188:30] that. I I'm pretty sure.
[188:32] >> I'm pretty sure like Yeah, they they
[188:34] Ford Ford. What am I talking about? I
[188:36] got Galaxy on my brain. I have uh the
[188:39] the Toyota uh they did offer black. So,
[188:42] it is a canonically accurate color. And
[188:46] also, because it's wrapped, you don't
[188:48] have to worry about it.
[188:49] >> It's a driver car. It's a perfect driver
[188:51] car.
[188:52] >> Oh, you get mud and stuff. Like,
[188:53] literally wrapped cars are the easiest
[188:55] thing. I have never washed my Galaxy
[188:56] since I've owned it. All I do now, I
[188:59] mean, obviously I'd spray the underside
[189:01] and get salt off of it, but all I do is
[189:02] hit it with detail spray, wipe it off.
[189:05] >> I'd put a mesh over the intercooler so
[189:07] you don't get like a head to um
[189:11] >> head to Tractor Supply, get some chicken
[189:13] wire.
