[1:24] question and answer as you can see the
[1:26] title of this is extreme
[1:28] q a making deal and automotive lifestyle
[1:33] so apparently it was translated from uh
[1:36] different interests
[1:37] yeah our interns and uh overseas so if
[1:40] you want to make deal
[1:43] all right so let's start this off
[1:46] we're we're going to kick this off by
[1:48] shin face says we sound incredible
[1:50] like master recording levels incredible
[1:52] okay now that here's the deal
[1:54] everything is battery powered
[1:57] so our mic packs the receivers the
[2:00] camera all of that
[2:01] is battery powered so you know that
[2:03] you're going to make eventually this is
[2:04] going to die
[2:05] and that's when we're going to end it uh
[2:07] chin face
[2:08] just said gamesrock22 sent us ten
[2:11] dollars and he just wanted to show us
[2:13] her
[2:13] his support now gamesrock22 thank you
[2:17] thank you thank you very much
[2:20] we like that i i just did some power
[2:23] saving measures so hopefully that didn't
[2:24] affect the stream
[2:26] um let's start off with talking about
[2:28] current events jack we had some patreon
[2:30] questions
[2:31] we did but there's very quickly i wanted
[2:33] to ask fresh till death 50 answer fresh
[2:36] till death 56's question
[2:38] because he's a young 24 year old and
[2:40] he's looking at a new mazda 3.
[2:41] should he buy one yes contact james
[2:44] orton
[2:45] at crystal lake mazda anderson
[2:48] crystal lake mazda if you have any
[2:50] questions he will make sure that you
[2:53] he's not a dick and he's not going to
[2:55] try to sell you something but he does
[2:56] work at the mazda dealership but if you
[2:57] have any questions he
[2:59] he's like one of the nicest guys we've
[3:00] ever met and he's stuck around for quite
[3:02] a while
[3:02] alphabet broccoli for for two dollars
[3:05] just said you should you should take
[3:06] those two dollars and treat yourself
[3:08] mark because you set up the audio
[3:09] oh yeah i just set the audio up with
[3:12] about twenty thousand dollars worth of
[3:14] equipment here
[3:15] that barely
[3:18] for an hour and a half gabriel young for
[3:21] five dollars i'm glad you bought a new
[3:22] kia stinger gt2 congratulations
[3:27] so it's so we have to say we bought one
[3:29] now because oh is he talking about
[3:30] one yeah no no he bought one
[3:33] oh man we haven't driven it yet then he
[3:35] won i'm sure it's amazing it's a kia
[3:38] it's
[3:38] just because he donated it means it's
[3:40] amazing it's the best car
[3:42] fault so if he's better than a gt3 rs no
[3:44] nobody we're not talking about expensive
[3:46] cars
[3:47] uh how far from molina uh illinois are
[3:50] you mark
[3:51] oh that's pretty far actually let me do
[3:53] a quick search while you ask the next
[3:55] or answer the next question jack so we
[3:57] have a bunch of patreon questions we're
[3:59] going to answer we're going to answer
[4:00] about five of them really quick before
[4:02] we get into your paid questions
[4:04] because whenever we do this this hour
[4:06] and a half live stream
[4:08] turns in like five hours and i take
[4:10] years off my life
[4:11] so it's an hour and ten minutes from us
[4:15] to answer the molina question all right
[4:17] so here are some good questions
[4:18] that i thought you would really enjoy
[4:21] and i wanted to start off with a
[4:22] viewer's question
[4:23] a patreon question about the dbx
[4:28] and why instead of a dbx we did
[4:31] a buick encore gx video instead
[4:35] so andy the lab is getting uh
[4:38] a dbx to review while the geese are
[4:42] doing buick encore videos
[4:46] how do you plan on competing in the new
[4:48] animal-led market
[4:51] i can't compete in the animal-led market
[4:52] i don't have pets
[4:54] and the pets that i do have are the
[4:56] creepy crawlers
[4:57] that i've somehow had managed to harvest
[4:59] in my underwear so
[5:01] but you're never truly alone mark that's
[5:03] true so i i'm not gonna be able to pitch
[5:05] a major manufacturer on the fact that i
[5:07] have crabs
[5:08] and uh can i put the crabs in their dbx
[5:11] that's not gonna work
[5:12] i mean hermit crabs oh yeah okay yeah
[5:14] hermit crabs yeah i got hermit crabs
[5:16] i've had them since i was a kid they've
[5:17] lasted
[5:18] 74 years this is a true story i've
[5:20] always wanted to buy like one of those
[5:22] turtles that lived for hundreds of years
[5:23] to traumatize like one of my
[5:25] great descendants somebody like some 12
[5:27] year old kid who gets a 300 year old
[5:28] turtle and then dies
[5:30] yes on their watch last night yeah you
[5:32] have the turtle on life support just so
[5:34] you can scar the kid for life the first
[5:36] day they get it
[5:37] so the you know this is a not serious
[5:40] question but it is a serious question
[5:42] and i think i wanted to talk about this
[5:44] from the pure perspective of
[5:46] where we're going because there was
[5:47] another question about where do you see
[5:48] this going in five years
[5:50] yeah we'll both be dead pretty much i'll
[5:52] have i'll be
[5:53] in the hospital for sure or in a nursing
[5:55] home
[5:56] but here's the thing that we've i i've
[5:58] been trying to tell jack this for a
[6:00] while
[6:00] and he's it's a good balance because i'm
[6:04] on one extreme and you're kind of on the
[6:05] other side you're just like it yeah
[6:06] you're like a go-getter like dude i'm
[6:08] gonna work hard i'm gonna make this
[6:09] happen i'm not gonna quit i'm gonna show
[6:11] the value and i'm like
[6:13] these guys you know what i mean
[6:16] like
[6:16] i'm on the other extreme of why are we
[6:19] putting so much effort
[6:20] in for no reward or like somebody that
[6:22] doesn't care so really
[6:23] where we're at is like the aston was a
[6:25] good example jack wanted to do advantage
[6:28] and he was able to get in contact with
[6:29] the rep and the rep
[6:31] kind of him didn't hot and we finally
[6:33] got one and then
[6:35] it was just kind of like oh pretty cool
[6:37] pretty cool that was it
[6:38] so well then when you asked for the dbx
[6:40] like nah we're probably not gonna have
[6:42] one in the area thanks for reaching out
[6:44] like the most generic answer and jack's
[6:45] trying so hard
[6:46] to like build these relationships which
[6:48] is exactly what you should be doing
[6:51] you're taking care of the business side
[6:53] and i'm like
[6:54] dude we need to stop wasting our time on
[6:56] companies or people that don't value
[6:59] what your strong suits are
[7:00] if they don't value it and they don't
[7:01] want to work with you don't chase them
[7:03] because there's plenty of other
[7:05] companies and people now that we've met
[7:07] that really want to
[7:09] feed into it be a part of it you know
[7:11] and that's where i want to spend my
[7:13] energy it depends on the brand rep and
[7:14] that's what i mean
[7:15] literally these last two weeks have
[7:17] probably been the most eye-opening
[7:19] experience i told you when we or at
[7:20] least when i went to the toyota
[7:22] headquarters event
[7:23] seeing the fact that they appreciate
[7:25] what we're doing
[7:26] from an engineering perspective and on
[7:28] top of that actually from a production
[7:29] quality perspective
[7:30] and the stuff with porsche we are doing
[7:32] a
[7:33] fairly substantial documentary with
[7:35] porsche on the gt3s
[7:37] and they're all about supporting us on
[7:39] this project and there are certain
[7:40] brands where
[7:41] you will do you will show them your
[7:44] worth as far as work goes
[7:45] jlr is a good example of that and
[7:48] the reality is these people don't get
[7:50] paid or to do
[7:51] extra work all they care about is the
[7:53] base right minimum amount of work so
[7:56] from our perspective working with us
[7:57] means more work you got to talk about
[7:58] yeah
[7:59] it's that more work money was usually
[8:01] well they're not paying us
[8:02] but it's more work to provide us with
[8:04] the resources to cater to like the
[8:06] technical questions which means they
[8:08] have to send 20 more emails and call
[8:09] this person that person and that person
[8:11] actually
[8:12] has to do work and then it's like dude
[8:13] why would you if they have no incentive
[8:15] why would they do it right yeah and
[8:16] there are certain brands with certain
[8:18] reps like mazda as well
[8:19] drew carey the guy who runs their pr
[8:22] marketing side
[8:22] is amazing because he cares about the
[8:25] cars he cares about the engineers
[8:26] working on it and he
[8:27] values the perspective that you know at
[8:30] least in our case we know what moves
[8:31] product
[8:32] people get excited et cetera et cetera
[8:34] but so it's finding that balance between
[8:36] me
[8:36] like dude i don't and you're maxed out
[8:38] yeah i just don't care like if you're if
[8:40] you're not gonna put the resource
[8:41] because it's really at the end of the
[8:42] day it's it's kind of helping them
[8:45] and that's kind of where i'm at like
[8:46] you're giving us a car
[8:48] you might actually get somebody to buy
[8:50] it and we don't get anything out of it
[8:52] other than getting a car
[8:53] and then trying to you know just tell a
[8:56] story about it
[8:57] it's not our own car so why are we
[8:58] trying so hard but aviation and autos by
[9:00] michael does
[9:01] does this mean we get a buick
[9:02] documentary featuring the marketing team
[9:05] yes absolutely if you uh if you're
[9:07] watching this uh
[9:08] live stream all 500 of you i highly
[9:12] suggest
[9:13] you watch the buick encore grande video
[9:16] that's not grand
[9:17] it's gx no it's the encore gx you that's
[9:19] not the title
[9:20] is it a grande i don't know it's an
[9:22] american master
[9:24] oh yeah there we go then we're gonna
[9:26] follow it up with the envision
[9:28] yeah buick should be like lose my number
[9:32] uh so here's the next question this is a
[9:33] serious one as well
[9:35] what's your vision for ev and car person
[9:38] electric vehicles
[9:40] how do you preserve the soul of a
[9:41] driver's car in the modern world
[9:43] is it only about drive train are there
[9:46] other key components that make a car a
[9:48] driver's car
[9:49] and this is from igor um
[9:52] i i don't i don't think at this point
[9:54] they have a good idea of it you
[9:56] kind of have like porsche and audi doing
[9:58] their evs
[9:59] which that's a car company going
[10:01] electric so it'll
[10:04] right now i don't see it kind of in that
[10:06] regard i think it's going to take some
[10:07] time before we get these like pure
[10:09] sports car evs and it's going to be
[10:11] way different it's not going to be like
[10:14] how it was
[10:14] so what makes a driver's car let's strip
[10:16] that back one because you know for me
[10:18] right it's the theater and it's the fact
[10:20] that the machine is super competent and
[10:22] it does
[10:22] everything you asked to to to do in a
[10:25] like
[10:25] a performance setting you don't fight
[10:27] the car it aids you in becoming a better
[10:28] driver but it's just
[10:29] not driving yourself and obviously the
[10:32] theater element of having a tremendous
[10:34] engine is also a part of that and with
[10:36] the ev part of it you lose
[10:38] other than the speed you lose some of
[10:40] that theater but you can tilt the
[10:41] dynamics
[10:42] i think you have to go to an extreme
[10:44] level before you start to get some of
[10:45] the fun back
[10:46] what makes a good car really is balance
[10:49] across the board right
[10:50] yeah like it has to do everything really
[10:52] well and i think generationally
[10:54] all of us grew up with cars that
[10:57] typically the best cars are a little bit
[11:00] louder they have a sound character to
[11:02] them
[11:02] they have this typical like internal
[11:04] combustion sound and now in evs
[11:07] you lose a lot of that and we haven't
[11:09] got the rawness from evs yet so the only
[11:11] thing i can compare it to is like carts
[11:13] you know if you get an electric cart or
[11:15] a go-kart they don't sound good it just
[11:16] sounds like a buzzing bees hornet's nest
[11:19] so there's not really you still get the
[11:20] sound there but
[11:22] you can see how a car that may not have
[11:25] the sound at all
[11:26] can still be a great driving experience
[11:28] we're just it's going to take a while
[11:29] before we get to that place so for you
[11:31] it's dynamics
[11:32] it's dynamics and you're the way to fix
[11:34] a lot of the problems in dynamics is
[11:35] also weight
[11:36] battery packs are super heavy so to get
[11:38] enough
[11:39] power and battery capacity to run a lot
[11:42] of these sports cars on a track at least
[11:44] you know you're gonna drain packs down
[11:46] in like 20 minutes probably i would
[11:48] think
[11:49] in the modern cars so i don't know i
[11:52] think they have to be lighter
[11:54] i think they have to be more
[11:55] purpose-built for the function of
[11:56] driving and we don't really have an ev
[11:58] that's like really purpose-built sports
[12:00] car type thing
[12:01] what did you drive the tesla roadster
[12:04] the original one
[12:04] yeah yeah i did it was not good it was
[12:07] weighed way too much
[12:08] so it's like you're taking an elise or
[12:10] an exige
[12:11] platform and then hacking it up to fit
[12:14] the batteries in there and
[12:15] while it was interesting it just it
[12:18] lacked
[12:19] it just felt more cumbersome to drive so
[12:22] it felt compromised
[12:23] for sure uh let me pull up the
[12:26] next question sorry i'm uh
[12:29] for our five viewers who are watching
[12:31] today
[12:32] i'm i'm gonna pull there's six million
[12:34] jokes oh perfect
[12:35] six million they're all we're all
[12:37] broadcasting from my boat right now
[12:41] um there's a good question about
[12:47] this is a john question should we all
[12:49] start hoarding gas-powered sports cars
[12:51] now that the
[12:52] that we're gonna do an electric future
[12:54] yes
[12:55] let's just answer that right now you got
[12:57] about 10 years
[12:59] we've seen all most of these
[13:00] manufacturers timelines for what they
[13:02] want to do
[13:03] and if there's some like stupid
[13:06] naturally aspirated car with a manual
[13:08] for sure buy that
[13:10] if there's some ridiculously high
[13:11] horsepower car that has a horrible
[13:13] emissions ratings
[13:15] like a one i like the gt500 yeah and the
[13:17] hellcats
[13:18] you should buy one basically anything
[13:20] like that you're that window's closing
[13:22] so if you want it do it now before they
[13:24] get ridiculously expensive
[13:27] uh there was a question about mazda that
[13:29] i found on the patreon side i'm trying
[13:31] to pull it up
[13:32] find it i'll answer another question
[13:33] while you're doing that right somebody
[13:34] asked
[13:35] uh is now a good time to buy a new car
[13:37] and the straight answer is now is a
[13:39] horrible time to buy a used car
[13:41] and it's not such a great time to buy a
[13:43] new car because you're ha
[13:45] you have to buy it for msrp or higher
[13:46] with those kind of the shortages
[13:48] so if you're planning on buying a new
[13:50] car the only way to do it is if you have
[13:51] a really solid trade-in
[13:53] that they're going to overvalue that's
[13:55] going to make up for the fact that the
[13:56] msrp
[13:57] might pay that or a little bit above so
[13:59] it'll balance it out but you're
[14:00] essentially going to go in and have to
[14:01] order the car you want that's that's the
[14:03] best way to buy right now just with what
[14:05] everything going on
[14:06] light to that my girlfriend's older
[14:08] sister
[14:09] she is getting rid of her tuxen that we
[14:11] told her to buy a couple years ago or
[14:13] tucson for people who are yeah
[14:17] and um they're i'm sure they're going to
[14:19] give our monster trade and on tucson
[14:21] given that it is a in-demand market
[14:23] segment something to help
[14:24] now that she's a big girl and she wants
[14:26] to grow and not grow she wants to go to
[14:28] colorado and she wants to grow
[14:31] me like 500 pounds move from being like
[14:33] 130 pounds
[14:34] i thought she was like 70. yeah yeah
[14:38] yeah um but she can't see they're in
[14:40] washington state
[14:41] or she is and she can't find a tacoma
[14:45] zero i thought you said she was getting
[14:47] a crv she wanted a crv
[14:48] hybrid and then for some reason she's
[14:50] moved to trucks because she's a truck
[14:52] girl
[14:52] okay now yeah okay but she's looking for
[14:55] a tacoma and they'll
[14:56] go there are none i bet you could find
[14:58] her a nice hhr if she needs it oh man
[15:00] that would be
[15:01] sssr she would look good yeah out in
[15:04] colorado with her ssr
[15:06] but here was a question you have any
[15:08] educated speculation
[15:10] on the upcoming rear wheel drive mazda
[15:12] platform and their inline six
[15:14] and this is from michael glenn uh
[15:17] i don't have any knowledge that is
[15:21] shareable um and most of it is
[15:23] speculation i'll be honest
[15:25] the the mazda toyota factory that is
[15:28] being
[15:28] met built is supposedly and this is
[15:31] straight from toyota that joint venture
[15:33] is a suv they are making an suv there
[15:38] they won't say what but the development
[15:41] is completely
[15:42] separated they may be sharing workforce
[15:46] but they are not going to be sharing a
[15:47] platform
[15:49] uh so it's not like a combined it's
[15:51] combined workforce but not combined
[15:53] product
[15:54] so they will have two separate
[15:56] manufacturing or they might go on the
[15:58] same line i don't know
[15:59] but that's as much as i know in terms of
[16:00] the mazda6 getting killed off i think
[16:03] um mazda has some announcements later in
[16:06] the year
[16:07] uh and i don't know one of them is can't
[16:09] be is that under embargo the one that
[16:11] they emailed us about
[16:12] i don't actually remember one is already
[16:14] known in other markets
[16:16] the other one we don't know what it is
[16:18] it could be an announcement for the
[16:20] mazda6 but
[16:21] it again it's speculation it is coming i
[16:24] just don't know when
[16:25] so the one thing that people seem to
[16:26] forget um as well
[16:28] is toyota is mazda's bank as well
[16:32] toyota financial does help provide from
[16:34] one understand based on my week there
[16:36] and this is public knowledge
[16:37] a lot of mazda's financing and mazda
[16:39] dealers will now have access
[16:41] to toyota financing moving forward which
[16:44] is a
[16:45] huge benefit for their customer base and
[16:47] as many people may or may not know
[16:49] toyota's the largest holder of
[16:51] automotive loans
[16:52] here at least in the united states well
[16:55] they're one of the biggest banks in the
[16:56] world and that's because
[16:57] they also give out loans for other
[16:59] companies so
[17:01] you know they everybody talks about
[17:03] toyota being an enormous
[17:04] entity in terms of cars but they also
[17:07] are an enormous entity in terms of
[17:08] loaning out money
[17:09] in a company like mazda which james
[17:11] actually asked a question about this
[17:13] like how do these dealerships stay alive
[17:16] right now
[17:17] when he typically had 60 used cars on
[17:19] the lot and they're down to 10.
[17:21] you know that's one problem and then the
[17:24] financing is going to become another
[17:25] because you have this inflated
[17:27] this infl i don't you know i'm not going
[17:29] to get into the john business part of
[17:31] this but you know you have the inflation
[17:33] and then you have the inflated prices
[17:34] which are two separate things
[17:36] and what what point do banks get spooked
[17:39] and stop loaning out the required money
[17:40] people are going to be defaulting on
[17:42] their loans and you you just need to
[17:43] talk to a good financial advisor it's
[17:46] one of the bigger banks at the risk of
[17:47] sounding like john business
[17:48] they know all these people who are
[17:50] taking out loans and cars they can't
[17:51] afford
[17:52] because for whatever reason they want to
[17:53] buy them and they're buying at these
[17:54] inflated prices people are going to
[17:56] start defaulting on cars
[17:57] that's if it comes back down but yeah if
[17:59] you're if you're loaning out money on a
[18:01] car that's like
[18:02] fifty thousand dollars and it really
[18:04] should be 40
[18:05] and then somebody's stuck with that high
[18:06] payment there's no incentive really to
[18:08] to pay it back if the market like it
[18:10] cools off so
[18:12] it's kind of a weird position to be in i
[18:14] don't know how the dealerships do it
[18:16] like to james point
[18:17] you know if you have an inventory of 10
[18:18] cars you're cutting head count
[18:20] they're they're laying off people and
[18:22] sending people home
[18:24] so you don't have product people can't
[18:26] have jobs and then the products that
[18:27] they do have
[18:28] are way overpriced and then it's it's a
[18:31] vicious cycle so in terms of cars
[18:33] i don't know i think it's a wait-and-see
[18:35] game as soon as production comes back up
[18:38] people are going to be like
[18:39] going nuts yeah and that might drive
[18:41] prices down too so
[18:42] it's the market's gonna be flooded yeah
[18:43] you're gonna have like all these cars
[18:45] coming in people are gonna be clamoring
[18:47] so hopefully it recovers my guess is it
[18:50] will
[18:50] so i'm gonna ask answer a question
[18:52] that's been asked like nine
[18:53] times by alberto canderlo
[18:58] why don't you i know my my ability to
[19:00] pronounce names is
[19:01] horrendous how does a youtube of the
[19:03] small channel get
[19:04] press cars review well alberto your best
[19:07] bet in the way mark did it is make a
[19:09] connection at a press company
[19:10] so at a car company one of the pr
[19:12] managers
[19:14] and uh if you can pitch someone either
[19:15] your value your production quality or
[19:17] something they'll give you a chance
[19:19] and that's the way you you start is just
[19:21] through that and through referrals
[19:22] through other manufacturers
[19:24] and building a i don't know a reputation
[19:28] and a value that
[19:29] you're going to add to these oems you
[19:30] need an angle and right now there's two
[19:32] of them
[19:33] either you're a journalist and media or
[19:36] you're an influencer and that's kind of
[19:38] how they're dealing with this when i
[19:39] started the influencer part was like
[19:41] really tiny now it's like they're
[19:43] bringing influencers on trips so if you
[19:45] have a huge following on
[19:47] you know generationally i mean i'm not
[19:50] going to get into what i feel about it
[19:51] but if you're if you're huge on tick
[19:52] tock
[19:53] and you have a following on tick tock
[19:55] and instagram and you can prove you have
[19:56] a lot of followers regardless if you
[19:58] make content that could be enough to get
[19:59] you a press car
[20:01] counter point is like if you're good on
[20:03] youtube or whatever you're more the
[20:04] journalist side that will help you if
[20:06] you have
[20:07] nothing then the next suggestion would
[20:09] be you have to join a press guild
[20:11] that's about it you need to join a press
[20:13] skill but you have to have content to
[20:14] show
[20:15] so that means that's why a lot of these
[20:16] guys get started whoring themselves out
[20:18] at dealerships
[20:19] getting every dealership to give them a
[20:21] car whether the content's good or bad
[20:23] it's building up
[20:24] something but i'm telling you right now
[20:26] everybody's doing that
[20:27] because that that bar to entry is so low
[20:30] to churn that out you have to have a
[20:33] differentiator
[20:34] and if you're not doing something
[20:35] different then you're just going to get
[20:36] lost and you're going to be beating your
[20:37] head against the wall
[20:38] yep that's that's probably the best
[20:40] summary of that last patreon question
[20:42] and those on patreon i will
[20:44] like i've been doing so far answering
[20:46] the i'll answer the questions via text
[20:48] um takeaways from the toyota no no
[20:51] that's not the question i want to ask
[20:52] well here takeaways from the toyota
[20:54] event do you know
[20:55] when you're getting a gv70 and do you
[20:58] have any recommendations for genesis
[21:00] products as a whole uh i'll
[21:03] talk about the genesis stuff we will be
[21:05] getting a g70 and a g
[21:07] we'd already did a gv70 no the gb 70's
[21:09] not the junior gb8 we'll get a gv70 and
[21:11] a g70 i know that's on
[21:13] the list they're just filling the fleets
[21:15] out in the regions
[21:17] so far what i've seen is it's just going
[21:20] to be a better
[21:21] previous generation g70 and the interior
[21:23] and exterior
[21:25] they're going to make some subtle
[21:26] improvements but overall it's not going
[21:27] to be that much different of a car
[21:29] because it's on the same platform
[21:31] uh they've updated a few things but i'm
[21:33] looking forward to it
[21:35] yeah and the takeaways from the toyota
[21:36] events the stuff i can talk about or
[21:38] kind of allude to as the embargoes get
[21:40] lifted
[21:41] the future is pretty bright for the
[21:43] brand um
[21:44] it is also uh certain things that we
[21:47] love about the brand
[21:48] specifically the v8 even though they
[21:50] haven't publicly announced it and it's
[21:51] been brought up a lot
[21:53] you can probably assume that's going
[21:54] away and the iso 500 is going to be at
[21:56] swan song
[21:57] yeah no that's well known we talked
[21:59] about it last year when we did our lexus
[22:00] video that the v8 is dead
[22:02] now it is dead it really i mean at least
[22:04] the naturally aspirated version
[22:06] now they're they you know the thing is
[22:08] this toyota japan and twitter america
[22:10] don't particularly connect on every
[22:11] single topic they do not if it's a
[22:13] purely japanese project
[22:15] high up in the ranks america is going to
[22:17] be kind of the last to know about it
[22:19] so they have patents and stuff and all
[22:21] this crap's come out for twin turbo v8s
[22:23] and we've seen things from japan where
[22:25] they said those v8s are going to be
[22:26] reserved for cars well in excess of a
[22:28] hundred thousand dollars
[22:29] so my belief is there will be a twin
[22:32] turbo v8 and some
[22:33] high-end product but everything that
[22:35] toyota america and toyota lexus says
[22:37] in america is that they're going ev they
[22:40] don't really have
[22:42] that information or they don't know they
[22:44] think they're going in a different
[22:44] direction but i think japan is going to
[22:46] have some like swan song like crazy v8
[22:48] cars also knowing how akio runs the
[22:50] company
[22:51] is getting that perspective and talking
[22:53] like talking to people like ken gucci so
[22:56] a project and this is a question that's
[22:57] been asked like nine times now in the
[22:58] chat
[22:59] thoughts on the gr86 we are confirming
[23:02] some stuff with
[23:03] toyota and lexus usa logistically but
[23:06] we're doing a pretty big video
[23:07] on the 86 obviously no journalists drove
[23:10] the 86
[23:12] or at least was allowed to drive the 86
[23:15] but we all got to ride shotgun and i
[23:17] probably did the most slaps
[23:19] with ken gucci there out of anyone just
[23:21] because no one wanted to ride with him
[23:23] for some reason
[23:24] um the 86 feels remarkably similar to
[23:28] the prior generation vehicle
[23:30] um you know if you like the prior car
[23:33] this one's better
[23:33] and basically talking you can it's
[23:35] better in every conceivable way
[23:38] um and it's it's really really
[23:39] impressive and hopefully they keep the
[23:40] price to a
[23:41] you know affordability range and you
[23:43] know it's proof that toyota lexus and
[23:45] the story about akio toyota is true he
[23:47] confirmed that
[23:48] akio basically went to a bunch of near
[23:50] engineers a couple months ago
[23:52] and went this is horrible fix it but
[23:54] what that's the problem what was
[23:56] horrible about it
[23:57] okay so i mean really it's it's an
[24:00] evolution of the last car
[24:02] more power more torque better power band
[24:04] um
[24:05] what was the other i don't see i don't
[24:07] know how much stuff we can actually talk
[24:08] about i wasn't there so i don't yeah the
[24:10] embargo is kind of like a murky thing so
[24:11] i don't want to bring up too much but at
[24:13] least that is a publicly recognized
[24:15] story
[24:15] yeah it's one of the things that is so
[24:16] interesting about the company is akio
[24:18] toyota
[24:19] because of the new driving philosophy
[24:20] associated with lexus
[24:22] supposedly signs off on every car
[24:24] dynamically at least the cars he cares
[24:26] about which
[24:27] at this point yeah um which is i mean it
[24:29] is really really impressive
[24:31] it's the gr cars because gr is his yeah
[24:34] he started that so
[24:35] i i can understand why he would want his
[24:37] his hand yeah you're not having like
[24:38] maribera drift around in a c8 that's not
[24:42] something you're getting but you are
[24:43] getting that with lexus which is amazing
[24:46] uh sorry toyota so let's uh let's get
[24:49] into some of the paid questions so uh we
[24:51] don't
[24:52] uh miss all of these and i apologize let
[24:55] me
[24:56] pull up or you want to
[24:59] answer some of these questions
[25:03] all right paul for five dollars thank
[25:06] you so much paul for the donation
[25:07] what are your predictions on what trucks
[25:10] and cars from the 90s will be
[25:11] collectible classics 30 years from now
[25:13] trucks and cars from the 90s
[25:16] uh i think we already know a lot of
[25:18] those right that's 2000
[25:19] nsx a lot of the japanese uh
[25:23] like love rx 8 or rx7
[25:27] uh some of the german cars that aren't
[25:29] too disposable or tech based
[25:31] like the 996s have just skyrocketed in
[25:35] price
[25:37] what about the bombers e36s are going up
[25:39] e46s are crazy e39
[25:42] m5s are insane i don't really see that
[25:43] for the mercedes products
[25:45] i just think cars that were automatic as
[25:48] well
[25:48] will not appreciate the same rate as
[25:50] manuals because the automatic gearbox
[25:52] even an enthusiast car dates it so
[25:54] heavily yeah i think like i started to
[25:56] say this before if you get anything
[25:57] that's naturally aspirated
[25:59] and a manual transmission i mean that's
[26:02] you're already set up if you get
[26:03] something clean
[26:04] and it may not have a value now but if
[26:06] you get something clean that's not
[26:07] totally beat up those are those are the
[26:09] ones that target in terms of trucks i
[26:10] don't really know
[26:11] i mean you're talking about like
[26:13] cyclones and stuff like that
[26:15] and yeah srt10 i mean that's just like a
[26:17] lot of these things
[26:18] really clean tacomas like yeah yeah yeah
[26:21] yeah
[26:22] like some of the toyota trucks the clean
[26:24] tundras and obviously the stupid things
[26:26] like srt-10s and all that other nonsense
[26:28] i todd messaged me or messaged like the
[26:31] group about some japanese cars that are
[26:33] playing cruisers
[26:34] well he sent first he sent uh
[26:37] film props which you can't really see
[26:39] here but he wanted me to get in
[26:41] the uzi from uh casino from the scene
[26:44] for that for four hundred dollars
[26:46] um but yeah there's a website called
[26:49] japanese classics llc and they sell all
[26:52] the imports
[26:53] and websites like that are really a good
[26:55] way to kind of see what's
[26:58] going up in price and what you could buy
[26:59] as a collectible there's a lot of cool
[27:01] stuff out there but i'll leave it at
[27:02] that
[27:03] yeah i think the most of the market's so
[27:06] crazy right now i was talking to
[27:08] uh uh someone on instagram who's uh like
[27:12] sort of a journalist i think her channel
[27:14] is now called torque
[27:15] it changed what was it before uh hot
[27:18] dogs yeah hot dogs dogs
[27:20] but she was uh being like can you
[27:22] imagine waking up and telling yourself
[27:24] that you just bought a 996
[27:25] convertible used like non-turbo nothing
[27:28] for 50
[27:29] 000 yeah and that's just the proof the
[27:31] prices right now make
[27:32] no sense but i'm sure cars like that
[27:35] because it was manual blah blah blah
[27:36] blah are going up crazy in value
[27:38] hopefully that answers your question
[27:40] paul here's one i back on the patreon
[27:42] said what's your opinion on bmw's bet on
[27:44] the new comic style front grille this is
[27:46] a huge uproar amongst existing and
[27:48] potential owners
[27:49] why do they insist on using the new
[27:51] grills
[27:53] you're john bmws not that john bmw
[27:56] dude you're probably got three on order
[27:58] just the grills
[28:00] yeah i just ordered front ends of m3s
[28:02] and regular four series
[28:04] so from my understanding a lot of that
[28:06] was done for the chinese market
[28:08] genuinely it was a request that they had
[28:11] the big grill
[28:12] look is something that a lot of people
[28:13] seem to like and it also
[28:15] you know the it's their overcompensating
[28:18] for the fact that people used to think
[28:19] they were boring so now i gotta look
[28:20] like i've got
[28:21] money so money equals big grill we joke
[28:24] about this all the time
[28:25] manufacturers should have the narcissist
[28:27] package which just shows your net worth
[28:29] in the back window
[28:31] yep but i i just i don't see it aging
[28:34] well i think though
[28:34] i don't really care so much about the
[28:36] grill because all that those trends kind
[28:38] of evolve over time and they
[28:39] get normalized and you're just like
[28:40] everybody starts doing the same thing
[28:42] and you're like okay now that's normal
[28:44] for that time period or that
[28:45] five win five year window to me what's
[28:48] more disgusting
[28:49] is that m4 i hate the way the car looks
[28:53] i don't even care about the grill it's
[28:54] like proportionately it's like a mustang
[28:56] mixed with like yeah it looks well
[28:59] tiburon like i don't know i see so many
[29:01] cars in it
[29:02] and it's just i don't know it's just not
[29:04] that attractive of a car to me but then
[29:06] again
[29:06] i don't look at it as seriously as like
[29:08] a bmw enthusiast because to me they're
[29:10] all like
[29:11] i think i've i've started to move away
[29:13] from liking bmws more and more because
[29:15] as you said they're getting more and
[29:16] more soulless and i am starting to agree
[29:18] with that
[29:18] though i will say this we are getting a
[29:20] new m3
[29:22] and m4 uh viewers giving us his m3
[29:24] manual
[29:25] and we're getting an m4 competition from
[29:27] the press fleet which is automatic
[29:29] um it'll be interesting you know it
[29:31] still makes me excited that they still
[29:32] make a rear drive
[29:34] manual sports car that revs and isn't
[29:38] going to like a four-cylinder like
[29:39] mercedes
[29:40] or has stripped away any of its dual
[29:42] personality sportiness like an s4 or rs5
[29:45] well these manufacturers have it good
[29:47] now because instead of everybody
[29:49] complaining
[29:49] about their cars now we're at a place
[29:52] where we're like
[29:53] well we better not complain about it
[29:54] because there's nothing left and you
[29:56] know so like everybody's now making
[29:57] excuses for that fact well at least
[29:59] they're making something it's like
[30:01] yeah i know the lowest common
[30:02] denominator like thing
[30:05] and that's just the way it is i think
[30:07] what what's the car that we just did oh
[30:08] we're doing the tlx type s
[30:10] yeah and that was kind of the argument
[30:11] in this car is
[30:13] you know there's nothing wrong with it
[30:15] everything that's wrong with it
[30:16] is just because of the era that it's
[30:18] made in you know
[30:20] they have a dozen it has a box that it's
[30:22] trapped in because of what they have to
[30:24] do to make a card today
[30:25] and those requirements to make that car
[30:27] successful today
[30:29] including all the regulation stuff is
[30:31] what is makes that tlx
[30:33] an issue not the car and that's to me
[30:36] the biggest disappointment of doing this
[30:38] but there are certain brands it's still
[30:39] and here's my problem with the car
[30:41] in retrospect we're actually just about
[30:43] to film the shop segment on the tlx type
[30:45] house we're going to do that tonight
[30:46] after this
[30:47] one of my issues with that car is
[30:50] you know you are an old-school honda guy
[30:52] and the people who are going to be
[30:53] buying it
[30:54] are people like you right old school
[30:56] honda guys and what is the thing that
[30:58] people love about hondas it's their
[31:00] engines and you could take that three
[31:02] liter
[31:03] again so if people who don't know the
[31:05] tlx type s motor only robs a 6200 rpm
[31:08] you can put that in an audi you put that
[31:10] in a bmw an infiniti
[31:12] not a lexus because they don't make
[31:13] anything modern but you know you could
[31:14] put it in another car
[31:16] and it would feel at home in that car it
[31:19] doesn't feel like a honda engine
[31:21] and yes it is turbocharged but other
[31:24] turbocharged powertrains
[31:26] wind out they still have something like
[31:28] the b58 which is a generic ass engine
[31:31] from bmw revs to 7000 rpm
[31:34] and you know if you drive a modern
[31:35] porsche engine the three liter
[31:37] it's incredible even with turbos yeah
[31:40] it's a it's a tough call honda and acura
[31:42] are big
[31:43] on doing their own stuff um and we
[31:46] always say this some of the things that
[31:47] they do are to their own detriment
[31:49] i i respect the fact that they want to
[31:51] try to do this on their own
[31:52] um and they have their own path and i
[31:54] think that's what's unique about these
[31:55] cars is it's
[31:56] it's very uniquely acura and honda and
[32:00] that's why i like it and there's so much
[32:01] that you connect with something that's a
[32:03] bad car
[32:03] no no it's a very good car i'm just
[32:05] saying that it it does feel like a honda
[32:07] and acura
[32:09] but the engine and transmission are no
[32:11] longer what made them
[32:12] great and memorable like what you're
[32:13] saying it's now become
[32:15] kind of a victim of where we're at in
[32:18] terms of
[32:19] development and everything else what's
[32:21] impressive about the car is
[32:22] the dynamics it is one of the most
[32:23] impressive sports sedans
[32:26] not track sport ends you can buy from
[32:27] handling perspective right it's amazing
[32:30] and that's that's something we'll talk
[32:31] about in the video like i when i do the
[32:33] final thoughts for it one of the big
[32:34] things is is
[32:36] the tl type s or the old honda and acura
[32:38] products
[32:39] you know they were very memorable in
[32:41] their time periods because they were
[32:43] special
[32:44] they had a unique thing that didn't mean
[32:45] they were the best and that's something
[32:47] we talked about lexus and toyota too
[32:48] they're very unique but they didn't they
[32:50] didn't have the specs they didn't have
[32:51] the numbers game they didn't have the
[32:53] alt-right performance they didn't have
[32:54] some of the crazy engineering
[32:56] this new tlx type s has more of that
[32:59] than it used to
[33:00] and it's way better than their old cars
[33:02] and it looks good and it looks good
[33:04] it's just not what they used to make and
[33:07] i
[33:08] i don't know that people that are a huge
[33:10] enthusiast of these cars are going to be
[33:11] able to accept that and move on to this
[33:13] next phase
[33:14] i'm struggling with it because of what i
[33:17] grew up with
[33:18] i'm struggling with this changeover that
[33:20] we're going through and a lot of it is
[33:21] not for the better
[33:23] um in terms of fun factor and i don't
[33:26] know
[33:26] you know that everybody's gonna have to
[33:27] suffer through this i think it's gonna
[33:29] be interesting to me
[33:30] to watch real honda people again like i
[33:33] said in the tlx video i grew up with
[33:35] acuras for a little while my dad had
[33:37] like three legends he had a first gen
[33:39] nsx and
[33:40] he had the very first model year tl type
[33:44] s when it was first offered here in the
[33:45] us
[33:46] so i grew up with these things and what
[33:48] i remember about those cars is
[33:49] objectively they were dynamically worse
[33:51] right yeah than the germans but had a
[33:53] very special motor
[33:55] you know despite not being an m car or
[33:57] whatever right and
[33:58] now it's the exact opposite dynamically
[34:00] it's really really impressive
[34:02] you're right you could do things in the
[34:04] tlx type s you couldn't do in a three
[34:06] series yeah not an m3 but like a yeah
[34:08] like a lot of cars
[34:09] i mean you really you really could but
[34:11] you're losing the
[34:12] that's what i'm saying in the video
[34:13] you're losing something
[34:15] with with losing the engine and that
[34:17] goes back to that ev question
[34:18] is you know how do you make these cars
[34:21] feel special when you have
[34:22] basically electric motors electronic
[34:25] control
[34:26] torque that's not even torque vectoring
[34:27] it's electronic control of where that
[34:28] motor puts down power and all these cars
[34:30] are going to start to run together when
[34:32] you don't have like a sound signature
[34:33] you don't have vibration you don't have
[34:35] all you're doing is like do i add more
[34:36] power and torque or do we take it away
[34:38] and how do we electronically control it
[34:40] and this last generation of these
[34:42] internal combustion engines
[34:44] is very much in that same boat you have
[34:46] all the complications of ice ice
[34:48] but then you have all electronic
[34:49] controls of it
[34:51] so it's like it's lost a huge huge part
[34:54] anyway all right so we'll get back do
[34:56] you have another question you want to
[34:57] answer
[34:57] all right so i'll pull this next one um
[35:00] this is from taylor robertson and taylor
[35:02] thank you so much for the 20
[35:03] donation supporting you guys has always
[35:05] missed your live streams i've settled on
[35:07] getting a veloster and getting one in
[35:09] two weeks
[35:10] any ideas on track deficiencies do i
[35:12] need a catch can a big brake kit
[35:14] will be dailied and tracked what pile
[35:17] was this
[35:17] of waste oh yeah that's what i thought
[35:20] no just
[35:22] do the um do a catch can if you're gonna
[35:25] drive it a lot and you're gonna track it
[35:27] that's just direct injection it's for
[35:29] your own benefit
[35:30] um and then just drain the thing every
[35:33] month
[35:34] or every oil change usually you'll know
[35:35] just check it more frequently
[35:37] drain the can if there's nothing in
[35:39] there and you just did attract date well
[35:41] you know you don't have to check it
[35:42] that's cheap insurance that
[35:44] the velociran has almost no serious
[35:47] cooling issues
[35:48] it doesn't have a lot of issues to begin
[35:50] with
[35:51] depending on how hard you are you're
[35:52] probably going to need real pads yes
[35:54] you're probably going to need real tires
[35:56] and real brake fluid like the typical
[35:58] stuff that you're going to do you're
[35:59] going to do on this car
[36:00] tires brake fluid and then plan for pads
[36:02] as you get better at driving it
[36:04] um and then you're going to want to i'm
[36:06] telling you right now
[36:07] i don't know what i think it's 530
[36:09] that's in there you don't want to use a
[36:10] high-end oil you're going to redline
[36:12] you're going to have this a group 5 oil
[36:14] doesn't matter which one you use a group
[36:16] 5
[36:17] synthetic and you're going to want to
[36:19] probably go up a weight
[36:20] if you're in a hot climate and you're
[36:21] tracking a lot so if it's i don't think
[36:23] it's 0
[36:24] 20. i don't remember but if it's 0 20
[36:26] you'd want to go up to a minimum of like
[36:27] 530.
[36:29] if it runs a 530 by default you could
[36:31] probably go to a 1030 because it raises
[36:33] the upper end
[36:34] temperature on the track uh before it
[36:36] thins out
[36:37] so like even though the the lower number
[36:39] like this is something i'm just gonna
[36:41] i don't even know why i'm saying this if
[36:43] you run a 530
[36:45] and you run a 10 30 even though that
[36:48] 30 is the same that the oil will thin
[36:51] out on the 530 at a higher temperature
[36:55] then the oil will thin out on a 10 30
[36:57] and that's because there's a trade-off
[36:59] in that base
[37:00] for cold weather that affects the high
[37:02] in temperatures and that's something
[37:03] that people don't get so
[37:04] if you're tracking it you're in the heat
[37:06] just go up get rid of
[37:08] get rid of that winter number bump that
[37:10] up so you have a higher temperature at
[37:11] the top
[37:12] and then protect yourself in the summer
[37:13] and if you're in a cold climate then
[37:14] move it back to like a 5
[37:16] 20 or a 5 30 in the winter that's all
[37:19] you know yeah and congratulations on
[37:21] your purchase
[37:22] yeah the velociram was a huge yeah it's
[37:25] hard to drive that was a lot of fun
[37:28] bataran 998 for five dollars hey y'all
[37:31] this is a question for you mark it
[37:32] involves lc 500 oh god
[37:34] i'm looking into buying an lc 500 used
[37:37] maybe
[37:37] 18 or 19 any options uh
[37:41] or do i need to be any any options i
[37:43] need to be looking for in one
[37:45] uh so it depends on what you're going to
[37:46] do the the straight answer is
[37:49] stay away from the 18s that's why
[37:51] they're so cheap
[37:52] there's nothing particularly wrong with
[37:53] them other than the suspension was
[37:55] messed up on them
[37:56] i said it in the video it rode like
[37:58] and i've had people contact me on the
[38:00] side
[38:01] like i've had a lot of people contact me
[38:02] on the side about this car
[38:04] i told them like look they're like how
[38:06] much of a deal
[38:08] is it the 18 to the 19 the suspension
[38:10] change i'm like go in it if you can go
[38:12] side by side that's when you'll
[38:13] appreciate it so i had one guy's like
[38:15] dude
[38:15] i couldn't believe how much of a
[38:17] difference it was in damping like
[38:18] softness and compliance between the 18
[38:20] and 19. the 18 felt like it was concrete
[38:22] the 19 is smoothed out so if you can
[38:24] find a 19 or a 20
[38:26] that's great the 21s are way way more
[38:28] expensive and it's even softer
[38:30] um but the only options are the
[38:33] performance pack which they just changed
[38:35] the dynamic handling package they
[38:36] rebranded it for 21
[38:38] but the performance pack on the 19s and
[38:40] 20s gives you rear wheel steering
[38:42] and then it gives you the carbon roof
[38:44] and a torso
[38:45] standard the performance pack is a huge
[38:48] difference if you're getting a coupe
[38:49] obviously you're getting a coupe at 19
[38:51] and 20. it makes a huge difference at
[38:53] making the car feel smaller than it is
[38:55] which means when you turn the wheel
[38:57] because it's got vgrs too so
[38:59] you turn past a certain point and the
[39:00] ratio changes it feels quicker
[39:02] that combined with the rear wheel
[39:04] steering it shrinks the car in about
[39:05] half
[39:06] and it just makes it way more nimble to
[39:08] drive if you're not beating the out
[39:10] of it like me
[39:11] like i don't ever drive that car normal
[39:14] you can get away with not getting that
[39:15] because you're going to save a lot of
[39:16] money and it's harder to find a
[39:17] performance back if all you're doing is
[39:19] going straight you want to listen to the
[39:20] engine and cruise down the road and
[39:22] you know just flog it you don't need the
[39:24] performance pack so that's
[39:26] that but if you're already spending the
[39:27] money i feel like just get the
[39:28] performance yeah if you can find it
[39:30] just spend the extra five grand or six
[39:32] grand or whatever the premium is now to
[39:34] get a used one
[39:35] um your it'll have a better resale value
[39:37] too i think if you go to flip it because
[39:39] there were more rare
[39:41] so the next question and again thank you
[39:43] for uh
[39:44] for asking then thanks for the donation
[39:46] um
[39:47] brian monroe for five dollars thank you
[39:49] for the donation
[39:50] paul 2k hey guys met you at audubon a
[39:53] few weeks ago on track
[39:54] would you rather have a modified s2000
[39:57] or a stock gt350
[39:59] driving the s is worse than my back but
[40:01] i'm worried i will regret selling it
[40:04] so you're an s2000 owner and i adore the
[40:07] 350.
[40:08] um you know the s2000s now are worth an
[40:11] unbelievable amount of money
[40:13] yeah yeah this is the problem that i had
[40:15] because i just tracked the s2000
[40:17] like what am i probably at the strategy
[40:20] yeah and i
[40:20] i drove it and i instantly felt bad
[40:23] i felt bad because i know it's harder to
[40:26] get these cars now i never thought like
[40:27] this
[40:28] the car is in such good shape you know
[40:30] it's like everything is finally set up
[40:32] on it it feels good it just
[40:34] it's such an enjoyable car to drive and
[40:36] then i'm sitting there like we were
[40:37] doing it we did a 30 minute session
[40:39] and the clutch failed at the end of it
[40:41] because it's something but it was also
[40:43] so old it's not even the car's not even
[40:45] modified the clutch is just tired and
[40:46] i'm sitting here thinking i just drove
[40:47] this thing for 30 minutes beat the
[40:49] out of it
[40:50] i'm like for what i mean it's fun to
[40:52] drive but it's not like i'm racing or
[40:54] anything and it just like
[40:56] that to me now that car has become a
[40:58] collectible to me and yes i enjoy
[41:00] driving it's one of the best driving
[41:02] cars on the track
[41:03] modified it's even better but there's
[41:06] this progression
[41:07] to get that car to be fast you have to
[41:09] go through the suspension
[41:11] the tires and once you get to that place
[41:13] where you have all that set up then
[41:14] you're doing bushings
[41:15] alignment stuff ball joints you're doing
[41:18] reinforcements and then the biggest
[41:19] problem is is arrow
[41:20] you'll hit a wall and that's where my
[41:22] car is at you get in higher speed
[41:24] sweepers and no matter how much grip you
[41:26] have that car is
[41:27] lifting and that back end is kind of
[41:28] always moving around and it's slowing
[41:30] you down and you're like
[41:32] now i got to do a splitter now i gotta
[41:34] do these big ass wings i gotta do a hard
[41:36] top all this and really at the end
[41:38] of the day
[41:39] it's not making it that much difference
[41:41] unless you're really going out there to
[41:42] compete in some type of time trial
[41:44] and it just
[41:45] to me it's not worth it if you're going
[41:47] to go out there and you're going to
[41:48] want to go fast just get a gt350 if you
[41:51] want to keep the s2000
[41:53] keep it don't really ruin it with stuff
[41:55] because it doesn't make it
[41:56] all that much better and your the value
[41:58] of it's going to be much higher
[42:00] so he currently has and has 2 000.
[42:03] and i would keep it dude if your s2000
[42:05] isn't totally just
[42:07] annihilated or ruined yeah if it's
[42:09] totally if you already have it screwed
[42:10] up and it's got like 150
[42:12] 000 miles on it just just go go for it
[42:15] just modify the hell out of it but i
[42:16] mean if it's in a
[42:17] if it's a really good example and
[42:18] there's hasn't been just keep it and
[42:20] hold on to it it's going to be worth a
[42:21] lot of money
[42:22] yeah just stuff it make the peace with
[42:24] the fact that it's going to sit
[42:26] and you're going to keep it as an
[42:27] investment and then go and spend the
[42:29] money on a gt350
[42:31] and drive that because that car has a
[42:33] lot of the specialness
[42:34] of the s2000 specifically great engine
[42:36] good gear yes no it's amazing
[42:38] uh long block for ten dollars hey guys
[42:40] just letting you know i bought an nc
[42:42] miata because of your documentary i want
[42:43] to autocross any suggestions to get into
[42:46] it
[42:46] love your work don't overwork yourselves
[42:48] and stay safe well thanks long blog
[42:50] um thank you i guess do you want to
[42:52] start off with just tires and alignment
[42:54] and listen to people listen to people go
[42:57] out there to a miata club and you're
[42:58] going to get
[42:59] an earful and you're probably going to
[43:01] be like why did i do this
[43:02] but they will tell you exactly what
[43:04] works and doesn't work and it's been
[43:06] the thing is with the miata is
[43:08] everything that could possibly be done
[43:10] has already been done to that car so
[43:11] don't
[43:12] reinvent the wheel you can go out to
[43:13] autocross and find national drivers that
[43:15] can get
[43:16] a lot out of nothing and it's a
[43:18] different mindset so if you're expecting
[43:20] this is something we've experienced
[43:22] when you have some hardcore miata set up
[43:24] for autocross it makes a really shitty
[43:26] street car or track car because all it
[43:28] does is wants to loop
[43:29] itself to be fast in an autocross the
[43:31] car's got to rotate
[43:32] unnaturally rotate and you've got to
[43:34] figure out how to get that through these
[43:36] tight corners
[43:37] so by making it a great autocross car
[43:39] often makes it really shitty and
[43:40] unstable or ride bad on the street
[43:43] and makes it like sometimes outright
[43:46] dangerous on the track so
[43:47] find a balance and find out what you're
[43:49] happy with driving it but really
[43:51] tires in an alignment are just that's so
[43:53] simple and you can get a lot out of that
[43:55] and your best investment is actually oh
[43:58] suing yourself
[43:59] so yeah you need you need real tires
[44:01] autocross to have any kind of yeah
[44:03] but once you start modifying the
[44:04] suspension everything you know
[44:06] i almost feel like now having done that
[44:09] to two of my cars in the past my
[44:11] my brz was you know modified and so was
[44:13] my mustang
[44:14] in retrospect at that age i rather spent
[44:17] the money going to a driving school
[44:19] or x y and z because i learned way more
[44:21] at a driving school than i learned after
[44:23] a certain point just auto crossing right
[44:25] yeah yeah you need that that
[44:27] professional help from someone who isn't
[44:28] just some guy who's good at auto
[44:30] crossing to get you to the next level
[44:32] understanding car control and
[44:33] all that other fun stuff so yeah and
[44:34] this gets preachy and
[44:36] you know it just depends on who you are
[44:38] and where you're at in your life and
[44:39] some people really like to tinker
[44:41] they just want to mess with stuff just
[44:42] to mess with stuff and i think for me i
[44:44] went through that part and i know
[44:46] exactly what i can tolerate in terms of
[44:48] suspension setup on my cars i know what
[44:51] will make a difference
[44:52] and make a noticeable difference without
[44:54] that diminishing returns
[44:56] so if you take an older car and it's 20
[44:58] years old
[44:59] and you have 20 year old dampers on it
[45:01] let's be honest
[45:02] those dampers are old technology they're
[45:04] that in terms of oil it might have leaks
[45:07] the steel stiction might be bad in it uh
[45:09] getting a new set of dampers is going to
[45:11] help that car a lot
[45:12] you know so there's there's ways to
[45:16] modify
[45:16] by being smart and i think a lot of
[45:18] people go to this extreme and get caught
[45:20] up in the
[45:21] like matt from obsessed garage he's like
[45:23] oh dude i got to just buy this and
[45:24] it's like
[45:25] dude what are you doing he's just buying
[45:27] it for the parts and that's fine
[45:29] if you know what you're doing with that
[45:30] but if you're buying parts hoping that
[45:32] it's going to make some
[45:34] huge like uh change in your life
[45:37] it's not no and it's just you're going
[45:39] to go out there and some guy with a
[45:40] stock car that's rolling
[45:42] all over the place is going to be faster
[45:44] than you work on
[45:45] the basics first and work from there uh
[45:48] next question
[45:50] uh from kevin c and this is actually i
[45:51] like this question a lot thanks kevin
[45:53] for the five dollars
[45:54] do you have a top three favorite funny
[45:57] comments from youtube or instagram saved
[45:58] in the archive
[45:59] if not all good i i don't and this is a
[46:02] video that i wanted to make just as a
[46:04] stupid one maybe a wednesday video
[46:05] because
[46:06] our viewers or obviously you guys
[46:10] and girls and in between are really
[46:14] amazing intelligent in a lot of ways
[46:16] there's i mean if it's like anything
[46:17] like social media there's going to be
[46:18] like garbage can stuff but
[46:20] there's a high level of perception of
[46:23] reality
[46:24] self-awareness sarcasm and some of these
[46:27] comments are hilarious
[46:29] yeah for some of these comments and i
[46:31] really appreciate them even if they're
[46:32] like
[46:33] horrifically offensive to me or like you
[46:36] know
[46:36] degrading yeah they make you guys tear
[46:38] us new all the time yeah
[46:40] and it's amazing it is so funny you and
[46:42] i will send us stuff
[46:43] yeah send each other stuff and we always
[46:45] laugh about it we're so lucky
[46:47] yeah no and i love a great dig
[46:50] that is well thought out like if you can
[46:52] really think out a way to make well
[46:54] not just to make fun of somebody but to
[46:57] make craftfully dig at something that's
[46:59] wrong
[46:59] or like a problem you know that that
[47:02] shows
[47:02] great initiative
[47:04] [Laughter]
[47:07] um yeah no actually that came up while i
[47:10] was at this toyota hq event so last week
[47:12] i went to uh plano texas mark had to
[47:15] play you know
[47:16] had dad duty family responsibilities and
[47:18] we can do back-to-back trips
[47:20] so i went and i talked to some of the
[47:21] other members of the press and even from
[47:23] some of the other outlets and
[47:24] shout out to matt moran motoring even he
[47:27] brought up like man you guys you have a
[47:29] you have an amazing viewing audience
[47:31] because you you guys are funny genuinely
[47:33] a better sense of humor than you than we
[47:35] do mark i
[47:36] i i would say that's probably the case
[47:39] i i think some of it is doing this
[47:43] when i started doing this i wanted a
[47:45] channel
[47:46] or videos that in my
[47:49] sensibilities so part of making these
[47:51] videos was
[47:52] i subbed to savage keys and my iq went
[47:55] up to 70. nice room temperature iq
[47:57] yeah your credit score went up to 340.
[48:00] um
[48:01] i i wanted something that was like
[48:05] funny and relatable and grounded in
[48:07] reality
[48:09] so i wanted to do that when i started
[48:11] this but of course when you start trying
[48:12] to do something for real or a business
[48:15] you have to to kind of like scale it
[48:17] back because you know
[48:18] like you couldn't get away with this
[48:19] in a real job i couldn't just be
[48:21] like
[48:22] oh you larry you know like you go
[48:24] to your boss slap him on the ass
[48:26] like you have to be smart about how you
[48:28] make the content and i like the fact
[48:30] that a lot of the viewers can come in
[48:31] the comments
[48:32] and say stuff that i can no longer say
[48:34] tactfully so it's fun
[48:37] uh next question from low strike for
[48:40] five dollars
[48:41] how are inventories at dealers out by
[48:43] you my local chevy
[48:45] had zero new cars on their lot toyota
[48:47] had 10 camry's and a couple of ravs
[48:49] thoughts well we started talking about
[48:51] this james who works at the mazda
[48:53] dealership us and he brought this up
[48:54] he's like how the hell are we going to
[48:56] survive
[48:56] that wasn't really his comment but like
[48:58] what are dealerships going to do
[49:00] if they don't have cars to sell and i
[49:02] mean it's the same problem that a lot of
[49:04] markets are having right now with supply
[49:06] and supply chain
[49:07] issues um and the straight answer is
[49:10] like our inventory is really low it's a
[49:12] low everywhere ours is low
[49:14] um i think our lots like certain
[49:16] dealerships like the ones in the smaller
[49:18] areas
[49:18] like mchenry dude like you went by
[49:21] i think it was sunny side or sun
[49:23] sunshine uh
[49:25] dodge i was like where i bought one of
[49:27] my first cars yeah they had decimated
[49:30] decimated so if you're a big dealer
[49:32] you're going to survive because you're
[49:33] going to get allocated more and little
[49:35] dealers
[49:35] like yeah yeah exactly
[49:38] this is from exhaust sports auto so you
[49:41] know it's going to be a good question yo
[49:42] bro
[49:42] should i sell my yacht for a v12 ferrari
[49:45] in this market
[49:47] well we have we have a lot of business
[49:48] contacts you owe us favors like we just
[49:51] shot
[49:51] the tlx video on a helicopter yeah i
[49:54] shot the
[49:55] so i have a buddy who flies helicopters
[49:58] and i pulled him out of some deep debt
[50:00] like 25 years ago so i basically
[50:03] subsidized his family
[50:04] you know i helped his wife have a kid so
[50:08] he owes me a lot of money so we filmed
[50:12] out of his helicopter with my iphone
[50:14] and uh we got some great shots it was
[50:15] just incredible and he was
[50:17] he couldn't say anything you know i ran
[50:19] him out of fuel a couple times because i
[50:20] wanted him to fly me over some of the
[50:22] the local lakes
[50:23] there was a beach that was near there
[50:25] and there was a lot of people on the
[50:26] beach and i'm like i was with my
[50:27] binoculars i'm just like just hover over
[50:28] here i want to have a look at
[50:29] the sand and he's like dude we got to
[50:31] refill again it cost him like six grand
[50:33] i'm like
[50:34] you know there's a lot of other things
[50:35] i've done for everybody so
[50:38] yeah this is only about three things
[50:40] helicopters
[50:41] beers boats and bands sorry four things
[50:45] boats and babes and beaches
[50:49] there's a place by us and i told jack
[50:51] about this the other day
[50:52] and it's like uh so let's preface this
[50:55] you and i have come from a much
[50:56] different background
[50:57] and you're trying to culture me we went
[50:59] to a place called wonder lake recently
[51:01] not that recently a couple months ago
[51:03] it's like jack i gotta take you to this
[51:05] place
[51:05] of course this per usual
[51:07] whenever we go to a place that is
[51:09] interesting we always go in a hyper
[51:11] expensive car
[51:12] that's not why i wanted to go there but
[51:15] it just happened to be like hey we were
[51:16] driving around filming in that area i'm
[51:18] like dude we're right here
[51:20] you've never been here before i want to
[51:22] show you like
[51:23] the what real people like lit like how
[51:26] this area is out here so picture like
[51:28] flint
[51:29] uh flint michigan from like mike
[51:32] whatever that documentary you know like
[51:35] decimated little town no it was it's not
[51:37] that bad dude it's just a world
[51:39] it's not robocop's detroit but it wasn't
[51:40] great it's not like an industrial it's
[51:42] just a small like rural town
[51:44] in the town where that they would call
[51:45] me the oriental like that kind of thing
[51:47] yeah exactly so
[51:48] you drive in and there was an outdoor
[51:50] wrestling match and of course this guy
[51:51] and i are this lc convertible
[51:53] looking like two douche bags yeah do you
[51:55] have that picture uh
[51:57] uh let me find it uh yeah so like i'm
[52:00] like jack you just have to see this to
[52:01] understand the area that we live in
[52:03] and it's not a negative thing it's just
[52:05] the reality that
[52:07] you know we get in this zone of the
[52:10] things that we do
[52:11] and you you lose connection with the
[52:13] people around you a lot of times
[52:15] and like we know i've know people that
[52:19] have lived there and
[52:20] it's one of those you live in this town
[52:22] and you don't get out and the people
[52:23] like jesus i'm never gonna get out of
[52:25] this town i went to school with them and
[52:26] i'm like dude
[52:27] they taught me early on in my teenage
[52:29] years i'm like i can't do this
[52:31] i can't do this dude i'm like i'm not
[52:33] gonna be that i'm not gonna do that
[52:35] and i don't i it's so crazy to me
[52:40] that people like this stuff is like
[52:43] going on still
[52:44] and that's all that's like that's the
[52:46] main and this answers our question about
[52:48] why he should sell his yacht
[52:50] why for a v12 ferrari right like getting
[52:52] this back to
[52:53] exhaust sports autos questions sorry
[52:55] yeah
[52:57] all right we'll go to the next question
[53:00] just sell your yacht
[53:01] buy a couple ferraris yeah uh dominic
[53:04] mitri thank you for the five dollars
[53:07] uh uh ecorp
[53:10] for ten dollars what are your thoughts
[53:12] on the cts ct
[53:14] 5v blackwing for find hellcat fun m5 or
[53:18] something else also
[53:19] why can we get the cattle why can the
[53:21] cadillac have a manual but not the
[53:22] corvette
[53:24] all right mark tell me you're a caddy
[53:26] man uh
[53:29] it's a good question yeah i know you've
[53:32] given like
[53:32] zero percent thought right when that
[53:34] thing was being released i
[53:36] messaged you the cadillac's not met
[53:37] engine yeah i know i mean obviously
[53:40] the first part of it what do you think
[53:41] about the car is it exciting that gm
[53:42] made a manual v8
[53:44] every time cadillac makes a v8 rear
[53:47] wheel drive car
[53:48] everybody's excited for five minutes and
[53:50] no one buys it yeah and then it
[53:52] we we have it on the channel like five
[53:53] years later when the car is like 25 000
[53:56] and you're like wow that's a pretty good
[53:57] deal i mean they they could have
[54:01] the thing is the reason why they
[54:03] couldn't fit a manual trans and the
[54:04] the vet is just they didn't want to
[54:06] spend the money to package it there's no
[54:08] return for them to do it with the
[54:10] cadillac it's
[54:11] it's the only thing that's going to get
[54:12] it to sell yeah a differentiator
[54:15] i had this conversation with you about
[54:16] supra and a couple other
[54:18] cars and i got in disagreement with the
[54:19] journalists so sports cars exist
[54:22] for brands particularly brands that
[54:24] bread and butter is in sports cars like
[54:26] toyota
[54:27] to get people excited and go to their
[54:29] dealership that's just a marketing tool
[54:31] so for cars like that
[54:33] um the corvette they sell so many of
[54:35] them they're gonna sell them with an
[54:36] automatic or without one
[54:38] so it doesn't really matter but smaller
[54:39] boutique cars i think it makes sense to
[54:41] have a manual option
[54:42] because this is a pr win you can't
[54:44] advertise it so i'm sure that's what
[54:46] cadillac is doing it's like look
[54:47] not only did we build a super sedan we
[54:49] built one with the manual and then no
[54:50] one's going to buy it with a manual
[54:52] but i think that's why they did that
[54:53] well yeah i mean some of it's probably a
[54:56] test
[54:57] you know to see what the market is since
[54:59] there's not a lot of manuals left maybe
[55:00] the take rate will be higher
[55:02] i don't know i mean personally it's i
[55:05] need to drive it like that's
[55:06] i don't get excited for cars until i
[55:07] drive them and the take right
[55:09] to his uh his point for the corvette was
[55:12] abysmal
[55:13] i had to fly i live we live in the
[55:15] midwest and when i bought my corvette
[55:16] new i had to fly all the way to new
[55:18] jersey to find
[55:20] one with a manual and you would want it
[55:22] you didn't want just a regular
[55:24] poor man c8 or c7 you had to have the
[55:26] grand
[55:28] the grandy sport but you know what i
[55:30] mean like the take rate was so low
[55:32] yeah so and now people would kill for
[55:35] that car yeah those cars have gone up in
[55:37] value like crazy for no real reason
[55:39] uh will matt for five dollars thank you
[55:41] will what's the best high performance
[55:43] suv
[55:44] with the germans and without the germans
[55:48] huh so what's that suv my brain just
[55:52] went blank uh so what's the best high
[55:54] performance suv
[55:56] probably a porsche or porsche
[55:59] thanks for stroking yeah i agree yeah i
[56:00] mean what else what you got to go to
[56:02] like the
[56:02] see the thing is all the best performing
[56:04] suvs are on the same
[56:06] architecture so it's the same car mlb
[56:08] evo
[56:09] yeah so it's like the eris the what is
[56:12] it the
[56:13] cayenne sq7 sq7
[56:16] is different because that's a three row
[56:18] personally if it was me
[56:20] i would have an sq7 500 horsepower
[56:23] ton of space great v8 great v8 great
[56:27] transmission it just doesn't look all
[56:28] that great
[56:29] so that's your best usable one and then
[56:31] you get into like the dodge piles like
[56:33] the durango
[56:35] and the hellcat that would be amazing
[56:37] the i will say the durango hellcat
[56:40] yes if you drove it like you were going
[56:42] to go to jail like literally doing 100
[56:44] miles an hour in a 55 zone driving like
[56:46] an everywhere like you have no
[56:47] penis
[56:48] just totally trying to get you trying to
[56:50] grow a penis
[56:53] then it's it's incredible you can drive
[56:55] that thing like a baboon
[56:56] and it's so satisfying it's the most fun
[57:00] but it's also a total piece of well
[57:02] i i wouldn't say it's a piece of
[57:03] but i mean it's like
[57:04] it's in a different class of vehicles
[57:06] karen my girlfriend got into this thing
[57:08] and you were
[57:09] we were in your driveway we were talking
[57:10] about like why the hell would you buy
[57:12] this thing and you and i are like
[57:13] giggling like idiots well i don't know
[57:16] that it's it's definitely a testosterone
[57:18] infused and that's what makes it fun and
[57:20] different i mean
[57:21] every other like we talked about if you
[57:23] want a performance suv you're trapped in
[57:24] that german web
[57:26] yeah something from bw right
[57:28] because the x3m isn't good
[57:29] that's too stiff uh the stelvio is
[57:32] interesting but it's never going to work
[57:34] yeah right you're going to be getting
[57:35] that thing fixed a lot the quadriplegic
[57:37] yeah the x5m
[57:40] that's probably pushing one of the
[57:42] better ones too but it doesn't have the
[57:44] personality i don't think
[57:45] i i don't know i mean i can't believe
[57:48] we're talking about this dude
[57:49] performance suvs apex i mean but there's
[57:51] so many now like you
[57:53] you talk about the rdx for a suv that's
[57:56] sporty
[57:57] under 50 000 is the best driving yeah
[58:00] it's amazing
[58:01] and it like you think about these cars
[58:03] and i
[58:04] had this problem with the tlx when we
[58:06] drove at the type s i'm like you know
[58:08] back seats are small not that i put
[58:11] anything what do you like 75 years old
[58:12] but the back seats are too small
[58:15] you're like my dad the acoustics of this
[58:16] cabin yeah i can't listen to my master's
[58:19] subpar the reflections off the
[58:22] hard plastic and the upper dashes
[58:24] beneath me
[58:26] no i'm just sitting there driving this
[58:27] thing i'm like i just could use a lot
[58:28] more space and i'm like why i don't put
[58:30] anything here
[58:32] and that's that's what's happening you
[58:34] know that's that's the reality
[58:36] well this guy gets hot in bothering when
[58:37] he sees minivans the pacifica s
[58:39] i have kind of i've cooled off to that
[58:41] recently you were the biggest boner over
[58:43] those things
[58:44] when we went to the gladiator launch i'm
[58:45] like oh man oh god i mean
[58:47] let's be real would you get more excited
[58:49] about pacifica s or a gladiator and for
[58:51] me it's like i'd rather be in the
[58:52] minivan
[58:55] um all right sentience psn thank you
[58:58] very much for the five dollars
[59:00] master the hell's that
[59:03] mikeder miketer for five dollars thank
[59:05] you very much
[59:06] use trucks what's going on crazier than
[59:10] insane used cars prices i will have to
[59:12] expect to pay
[59:13] 28 000 or more for a used tacoma with 90
[59:16] 000 miles yeah it said
[59:18] uh greg just in the chat he posted
[59:21] his uh offer on his forerunner and it
[59:23] was like crazy
[59:24] like his offer for it was like really
[59:27] high and the thing's like five years old
[59:28] i mean this is what's happening so
[59:30] if you have to get a car you're
[59:33] basically stuck buying one
[59:34] you're gonna eat right now i mean
[59:36] if you can wait if you have something
[59:38] you want to sell and sell it and then
[59:40] stuff the money for when prices come
[59:41] back down to earth
[59:42] that's what i would do but i wouldn't be
[59:44] actively trying to buy something
[59:46] yeah that's again that's what i told her
[59:49] sisters like don't buy right now just
[59:50] hold on to the tucson
[59:51] yeah so next question for united newbies
[59:55] what's the most reliable fun luxury
[59:57] sports car under 30 to 70 thousand
[59:59] dollars that's a huge range
[60:00] what do you mean by msrp is too high
[60:11] oh man dude that's 30 to 70 is a
[60:14] big big price yeah you're looking at
[60:16] like the
[60:17] uh i think you're looking at the
[60:18] quadrifoglio you're looking out he said
[60:21] reliable oh reliable and fun you can
[60:24] count alfa romeo out immediately yeah
[60:26] well yeah
[60:27] i mean fun probably g70
[60:30] g uh g80 is not all that great
[60:34] um f80 m3 with the warranty final manual
[60:37] final years that car is great here's my
[60:39] choice
[60:40] and i'm not a bmw person but that's it
[60:42] let's just leave it at that f80 m3
[60:44] manual transmission just get the crank
[60:45] up issue fixed and it's pretty bomb
[60:47] proof
[60:48] and then just put seven thousand pound
[60:50] lowering springs on
[60:51] that that drop you buy make sure it's
[60:53] white yeah make sure it's white
[60:54] yup with some type of like matte wrapped
[60:57] panels or something carbon fiber
[60:59] splitter
[61:00] just go full slav mode yeah only play
[61:02] eurobeat yeah subwoofer mounted on the
[61:04] exterior of the car
[61:06] um hopefully that answers your honestly
[61:08] the new fa the f80 generation bmws
[61:11] are pretty reliable and they're way more
[61:13] fun than like a gsf
[61:15] you're good oh yeah i mean the gsf is
[61:17] like they're that's
[61:18] you're going to pay up the ass for a gsf
[61:20] we were talking about that the other day
[61:21] i'm like that's like a 60 70
[61:23] 000 car i'm sorry like i was in the
[61:25] market for one i'm like nah
[61:27] not paying that kind of money for it i
[61:28] mean it's a great car it's gonna last
[61:30] forever yeah that car was forty thousand
[61:31] dollars
[61:32] sorry tell me about isf prices they are
[61:34] insane right now
[61:35] for no reason right now but that's every
[61:37] car
[61:38] like i mean that's the thing is
[61:39] everything's inflated so it's like yeah
[61:42] not happening yeah one of our
[61:45] our viewers said gsf or f-80 i'm like i
[61:47] agree with you the motor sounds way
[61:49] better in the gsf but
[61:51] objectively if you strip away the engine
[61:53] can't you get an f-80 for cheaper than a
[61:55] gsf right yeah you can
[61:56] so that's that's the thing if you're
[61:57] looking for the here and now not to keep
[61:59] you know you have it for three years
[62:00] with a warranty you're gonna have a lot
[62:02] more fun with the f-80
[62:03] but if you can get a gsf which you're
[62:05] not gonna find one for like a reasonable
[62:07] price
[62:08] i mean unless all you're doing is
[62:10] cruising and you want that v8 and you
[62:12] want the toyota alexis reliability but
[62:14] if you want to go out and have fun
[62:15] you're gonna have way more fun
[62:16] you're not gonna take a juice off to
[62:17] attractive no you're not you're
[62:19] definitely
[62:20] not and someone mentioned 2016 is no
[62:23] different than the 2020
[62:24] yes and no they did do running
[62:26] reliability changes to the
[62:28] uh gsf you said what year do they have
[62:29] diff problems no that was the rc
[62:32] the original torsions and the rcfs had
[62:35] problems and then they fixed it later
[62:37] the gsfs really didn't have that much
[62:39] changes other than the suspension
[62:41] i think i did a video on the 2019 the
[62:44] only gsf video i have i talk about the
[62:46] running changes that they made and i
[62:47] think it was like suspension tuning
[62:49] because that's what they mostly evolve
[62:50] larry lampshade for five dollars what
[62:52] are your thoughts on the haldex
[62:53] all-wheel drive systems golf r seems to
[62:55] check a lot of boxes for me
[62:57] but i'm concerned about it being so
[62:58] front wheel drive centric i am not
[63:00] a vw person at all i'm not a golf person
[63:04] but i appreciate the golf r it is way
[63:07] better than the gti
[63:08] because it gives you that ability to
[63:10] just stop
[63:12] terminally understeering when you're
[63:13] driving like a dick it doesn't
[63:16] completely remove it but it makes it at
[63:18] least
[63:18] 50 to 75 percent better so if you want
[63:21] better dynamics you get the golf r and
[63:23] you'll be happy you did it
[63:24] um and i drove the out of both
[63:26] those cars you can't get rid of the
[63:28] understeer stuff with the golf r but the
[63:30] only time you're gonna notice it is like
[63:31] in an autocross does it feel super front
[63:33] wheel drivey
[63:34] in in autocross when you're in a tight
[63:36] stuff but when you're on a real
[63:37] road back roads or like you're not gonna
[63:40] take it to a track but
[63:41] anything that's not like oh i'm turning
[63:43] over the wheel
[63:44] if you're just making subtle turns
[63:45] sweepers like regular road stuff it's
[63:47] amazing to drive you feel like you're
[63:49] god in it
[63:50] it is a very competent system it is and
[63:52] the extra horsepower helps it just
[63:54] it's a great car all the way around it
[63:56] just obviously to me that's not my style
[63:58] of car it's too
[63:59] uh plain vanilla for me is it better or
[64:02] worse in the system that's in the sh
[64:03] all-wheel drive
[64:05] because that's another front-wheel drive
[64:06] based uh all-wheel drive system that's
[64:09] similar
[64:10] the acid the sh is better because you
[64:12] have a torque vectoring differential so
[64:14] you can
[64:14] send power to the left or the right
[64:16] where the hell decks can't
[64:18] it can't do that to that level you know
[64:21] you're dealing with wet clutches instead
[64:22] of having a clutch and a
[64:24] you know be able to send power to each
[64:26] wheel like in the sage so the sh
[64:28] feels can feel way more rear-wheel drive
[64:31] in some cases
[64:32] than the hell decks can but again it
[64:34] depends on how you drive if you're not a
[64:36] monkey
[64:37] you might not never notice it yeah if
[64:38] you're not genuinely going
[64:40] flat out rj cam for five dollars mark
[64:43] what model number of your ray-bans
[64:45] what's the model number of your ray-ban
[64:46] frames
[64:47] i have no idea uh i'll look and write
[64:50] tell you right now if
[64:51] there's even anything on here
[64:55] well i honestly i don't know
[64:58] but they're carbon one of the carbon
[65:01] frames
[65:01] so there's probably only like a handful
[65:03] of them just
[65:05] take a picture and take it in your eye
[65:09] glassware and what i told you i'll tell
[65:11] you another story about
[65:12] gregart this is classic and i'm sorry
[65:15] nobody knows who he is but uh guy's
[65:17] amazing he needed glasses
[65:19] so he went into i think the lens
[65:21] crafters it doesn't matter oh is this
[65:22] the story that i'm thinking yeah
[65:24] so he's like getting fitted for his is
[65:26] like getting fitted and
[65:28] she's like oh have you thought about
[65:30] frames do you have any designers you'd
[65:32] like and he's like
[65:33] yeah i want to try the jeffrey dahmer's
[65:36] she's like oh i don't think we have
[65:37] those
[65:38] it's she goes and asks her manager and
[65:40] then she didn't come back
[65:41] and then the manager the dude came over
[65:43] and helped him because he thought he was
[65:45] a total
[65:46] serial killer
[65:49] obviously he wasn't serious he was just
[65:50] being sarcastic but it didn't go over
[65:52] while i'm like some 19 year old girl
[65:58] yeah so all right next question
[66:02] uh mopar 92 for 20 dollars since
[66:05] stolantis has
[66:06] given all the former fca brand 10 years
[66:08] to figure themselves out
[66:10] do you think the next pile from dodge
[66:11] will be a performance suv or can we
[66:13] finally see the next generation of
[66:14] charger and challengers
[66:16] i don't know i honestly i don't know
[66:18] either i don't know that that's a tough
[66:20] one for me dude i think
[66:22] um i think they were originally gonna do
[66:26] it on the alpha platform and now
[66:28] you thought that they were gonna scrap
[66:30] it i had heard rumors
[66:32] from stalantis internally and i can't
[66:35] verify this and
[66:37] uh but something about the julia
[66:39] platform not being able to be
[66:41] fully e-vehified
[66:44] or is hurting the chances of them moving
[66:47] the charger challenger to that
[66:48] architecture
[66:49] so i don't actually know also if you
[66:51] think about it
[66:53] from the viewer's perspective and just
[66:55] internally we know how company
[66:56] corporate cultures work now you're
[66:58] adding the french
[67:00] italians and americans all work together
[67:02] on a global platform
[67:03] i have no idea what they're gonna offer
[67:05] but you know that project's gonna be a
[67:07] nightmare
[67:08] i don't know what they're gonna do and
[67:10] frankly i stopped caring
[67:12] i mean yeah a little bit i feel like
[67:14] they they've delayed the inevitable for
[67:16] so long
[67:17] when they talked about the challenger
[67:18] and charger getting updated
[67:21] they they like we're not gonna do it
[67:22] because we're not ready to do it
[67:24] we can't do it like they've had a long
[67:27] time to evolve their stuff and they've
[67:28] chosen
[67:29] to stick with what works and even when
[67:31] we talk to the engineers they're like
[67:33] well you know we're different and we're
[67:36] gonna stick with what we're good at
[67:38] but now the hellcat motor is no longer
[67:40] emissions compliant
[67:41] and you and i both love hellcat powered
[67:44] stellantis vehicles
[67:45] they're incredible they're right they
[67:47] they're able to do certain things
[67:48] amazing and
[67:50] i wouldn't trade it for anything once
[67:51] you strip that away but from a business
[67:53] perspective when you don't evolve your
[67:55] products
[67:56] outside of that box or you either i
[67:59] don't know what it is i don't know if
[68:00] it's money it's management it's
[68:02] called corporate culture that's blocking
[68:04] it but they
[68:05] they should have evolved into a
[68:07] different framework by now and we
[68:09] haven't seen it
[68:10] so i don't know what they're going to do
[68:11] i'm sure they're going to have they're
[68:13] going to like they said they're going to
[68:14] ev everything
[68:15] how they do that good luck
[68:18] you know what i mean yeah they're making
[68:20] brand images
[68:22] horsepower loud va yeah you know
[68:25] why people love their cars i i think
[68:28] they're going to have a soul-searching
[68:30] identity crisis here really shortly
[68:32] and it's not for the lack of trying the
[68:34] new durango interior is great
[68:36] no they're updated i mean i will give
[68:39] them that
[68:40] it's just in terms of the costly stuff
[68:42] they they were going to move the
[68:44] chargers and challengers to that alpha
[68:46] platform that was the plan and
[68:47] they put it off they like they had that
[68:49] opportunity like five or six years ago
[68:51] so i i don't know i don't know what
[68:53] their long-term game is
[68:55] and again i think it's suvs like every
[68:57] brand oh yeah i mean if they can ev
[68:59] a ram or ev some of their suvs
[69:03] i don't think that's a problem but are
[69:05] they going to be able to do that do they
[69:06] have the resources to do that
[69:09] most of the other brands are already
[69:10] tied up within exclusivity contracts on
[69:12] battery packs
[69:13] all that other stuff and i haven't heard
[69:15] anything about them doing that yeah but
[69:17] either that's not ideal for them but
[69:19] oh well moving on sadly uh five windows
[69:22] for 11 54. thank you five windows thank
[69:25] you five windows
[69:26] overall do you find mid-engine
[69:28] performance car suspension more refined
[69:29] than front engine equivalents
[69:31] i've heard this due to the fact that
[69:32] there's more space for better suspension
[69:34] components around the wheels true or not
[69:37] well there's one that comes to mind that
[69:39] didn't
[69:40] that was the 4c they ran out of room in
[69:42] the
[69:44] i can't remember it was the front the
[69:46] front they ran out of room in the front
[69:47] suspension to do
[69:49] the geometry the way that they wanted um
[69:52] i think packaging wise it's harder to do
[69:55] suspension
[69:56] in a mid-engine car because you have
[69:58] less room in the back
[70:00] and you have all the weight to manage so
[70:01] that's an expensive platform to do
[70:03] because you can't scale out a med engine
[70:05] car
[70:06] engine cars that dynamically are better
[70:07] than front engine cars technically yeah
[70:10] yeah i mean they should be if they're
[70:11] done right do you think they ride better
[70:14] as a general rule
[70:15] the problem is all mid-engine cars other
[70:16] than the c8 well we don't have
[70:18] mainstream mid-engine cars
[70:20] you know all we have is sports car
[70:21] mid-engine cars so like how do you judge
[70:24] that against
[70:24] like if you had a mid-engine luxury car
[70:27] versus a mid-engine
[70:28] like sports car or the equivalent i mean
[70:31] we don't have a basis for comparison
[70:34] yeah i'm not talking about like ferraris
[70:36] and like that you know like the
[70:38] bigger ferraris and
[70:40] sports cars are like what sport that
[70:42] this that 718 still sports car i don't
[70:44] know
[70:45] yeah i don't the i don't either i know
[70:48] for example
[70:49] like kinematically like the the gt3 is
[70:51] something i had to do a lot of homework
[70:52] on for upcoming project
[70:54] they doubled the spring rates because
[70:55] they could go to double wishbone but
[70:57] double wishbone isn't
[70:59] inherently found on all cars that are
[71:01] mid-engined
[71:02] well most of them are but like the seven
[71:06] or the seven one eight isn't it the 4c
[71:08] isn't and the 718 isn't either right
[71:10] so anyway yeah i don't i don't have a
[71:13] straight answer i would say
[71:14] you can make any car ride properly would
[71:16] mid engine make it better
[71:19] maybe maybe if you if we had
[71:22] if you had the money to do it i think
[71:24] anything's possible trent schaefer for
[71:26] five dollars are you guys planning on
[71:28] reviewing a buick regal tour x
[71:30] if so i hope so i thought about buying
[71:32] ones a daily a buick doesn't have them
[71:34] in the fleet anymore
[71:35] i don't i know one person with one and
[71:38] you know
[71:38] it is his daily driver it's not like i'm
[71:40] gonna ask him for the car to do a video
[71:41] on i have spent time in the buick regal
[71:43] tourx
[71:44] it has it's not bad because it's not you
[71:47] know
[71:47] i view it i think it's great yeah it's
[71:50] just in america
[71:51] like people don't care about wagons like
[71:53] they do every well not everywhere else
[71:55] but
[71:56] it's not a big hot segment here so you
[71:58] don't see a lot of them but i thought
[71:59] they that was a good direction for them
[72:02] yes but again it's
[72:03] like you we always joke around about the
[72:05] whole wagon thing is like everybody says
[72:07] they want it and then
[72:08] they never buy it yeah and this has come
[72:11] up a couple times here it's like why do
[72:12] journalists love wagons and i've talked
[72:14] to you about this
[72:15] i don't think i get it because i don't
[72:17] like suvs i don't like big buildings and
[72:19] it gives me the space
[72:20] of an suv with the most of the dynamics
[72:23] of a sedan that's because it's that no
[72:25] compromise thing
[72:27] but you know you're right if you want a
[72:29] hauler most people are just going to be
[72:30] like what has the most space and they're
[72:32] going to get an suv
[72:32] i think it didn't used to be that way i
[72:34] think this has you have to put things in
[72:36] perspective of
[72:37] we didn't have all the choices in suvs
[72:40] like 10 years ago it's not
[72:41] like it is today where you have the some
[72:43] of the best products or suvs
[72:45] because they put so much money in them
[72:47] before if you wanted a really good
[72:49] hauler you had to get a wagon because
[72:50] they were
[72:51] developed they were cars it was easier
[72:53] to make now it's not so much the case
[72:55] you have better choices in the suv world
[72:57] than you do in the wagons and
[72:59] i mean i don't know would you rather
[73:02] have more it depends on what you want
[73:03] you want more performance you want more
[73:04] space
[73:05] and in a hauler what's better and i
[73:08] think
[73:08] most of the people are going to choose
[73:09] more space um
[73:11] oh so andy the lamb joe and deb say
[73:14] hello
[73:15] hi andy and joe hi
[73:18] deb and their dogs say hello to you not
[73:20] me so we visited them in person
[73:23] let's talk about this uh they are a very
[73:25] nice
[73:26] couple who made us dinner and the food
[73:28] was excellent yeah until i was sick for
[73:30] the next week
[73:31] she ground up the dog's food and put it
[73:34] in my food
[73:34] and she was hoping that i would
[73:36] transform into a dog person and it
[73:38] didn't happen
[73:39] uh my so i have two dogs mark is not a
[73:42] dog person i very much so
[73:44] am and watching abby and andy
[73:47] absolutely savage you every chance they
[73:51] got
[73:51] was amazing abby mauled me
[73:55] bit me scratched me scratched me every
[73:57] place i came home with like
[73:59] scars on me i had to get plastic surgery
[74:02] on my muscles
[74:04] those dogs were beasts that's because
[74:07] that's the typical smell of fear
[74:09] they they knew that i was not like all
[74:11] into them
[74:12] so it was like oh who's this cool dude
[74:15] that doesn't want me
[74:16] so they want me even more and if i did
[74:20] that to a cat
[74:21] that would be the same thing you ignore
[74:22] a cat they're like oh this guy's cool
[74:25] so anyway yeah are you a real fawns type
[74:27] i'm a real fonz guy
[74:29] with especially with a feline i love
[74:31] those pictures where it's like some
[74:33] little kid holding some like 500 pound
[74:35] cat like this and it's just like
[74:37] oh but yeah andy and joe are
[74:40] or andy i keep calling andy deb the
[74:43] curator of andy and abby uh get
[74:47] nasty on their uh channel they are
[74:50] the best people in the world i give them
[74:53] a 10 out of 10.
[74:54] you know right people now yeah that's it
[74:56] we're gonna be we're gonna do people
[74:57] reviews after this
[74:59] um long block again for five dollars on
[75:02] long block thank you for the donation
[75:04] uh nissan z's date is getting closer and
[75:06] closer do you think it'll be up there
[75:07] with the m2 in terms of specialness to
[75:09] drive
[75:11] i don't know probably not
[75:15] i mean i mean we're
[75:18] we're supposed to do uh i mean maybe
[75:21] maybe and it's like time
[75:22] we're supposed to do a z retrospective
[75:25] of all the z cars and then launching the
[75:27] 400 or whatever it is yeah so we have
[75:30] that
[75:30] worked on with toyota or not toyota
[75:32] nissan and their their game for it
[75:34] it's just time i i don't know what how
[75:37] else i can
[75:38] pull more time out of my ass and when
[75:39] you tell me that it's like oh that
[75:41] sounds great yeah maybe like five years
[75:43] ago when i had nothing to do but
[75:45] pick my nose like i thought about this
[75:47] recently imagine doing the miata
[75:48] documentary again
[75:49] oh god it wouldn't happen i mean it
[75:51] would i would not i'd be like dude i'm
[75:53] done after the first day
[75:55] i'd be like i'm out of here dude i can't
[75:56] do this
[75:58] so i don't know it's anyway it's about
[76:01] the car
[76:02] the car is gonna be good and it's going
[76:05] to be affordable
[76:06] i'm just kind of waiting to see how they
[76:08] put the manual trans
[76:10] all that power and how they manage it i
[76:13] think it's going to be
[76:15] probably crazy it's going to be like a
[76:17] tire like
[76:19] annihilation machine yeah if it doesn't
[76:21] have real
[76:22] rear tires it i want it to be like the
[76:25] uh
[76:26] the base mustang gts where they come on
[76:27] 235's
[76:30] i don't know i think it's going to be
[76:31] really good because the motor makes so
[76:33] much power
[76:35] that car is going to be a rocket yeah
[76:36] and it's got a i mean it's double
[76:38] wishbone
[76:38] yeah i mean it's an evolution of what
[76:40] they had before with a manual so i think
[76:42] people are going to be like
[76:43] yeah people are going to eat that car up
[76:45] and in many ways if it's good
[76:47] it's going to hurt toyota on their 86.
[76:48] and this is a question that's been asked
[76:49] a bunch of times what do you think the
[76:50] new 86
[76:51] we talked about it briefly in the
[76:52] beginning i wrote in one mark did not
[76:56] you know if you look at the numbers it's
[76:58] basically an evolution of what's
[76:59] currently in the market and they've
[77:00] solved some of the problems so if you
[77:01] like the car as it is today
[77:03] you're getting the same thing but just
[77:05] well what is it is like 25
[77:07] better than the last one i didn't drive
[77:09] it uh but i mean like overall
[77:10] what do you think is it like 25 better
[77:13] okay
[77:14] the the motor alone having torque and to
[77:16] come down lower in the rpm band
[77:20] it's a big deal big deal it still sounds
[77:22] like a garbage can though
[77:23] well that's what do you expect um
[77:26] next question uh will there be an audi
[77:29] tt video
[77:31] uh or review in the future and this is
[77:33] for ecorp for two dollars
[77:35] uh if probably maybe unlikely unless a
[77:39] viewer gave us one
[77:41] we're never getting one from audi i
[77:43] would love to do a ttrs
[77:45] five cylinder turbo high horsepower
[77:48] you know haldex weird car they just
[77:50] killed that guard yeah i know that's why
[77:51] we'll never get one all right
[77:53] so unless it's a viewer i would love to
[77:54] do a video on it i think it's a neat car
[77:56] but unlikely matt from patreon said i
[77:59] have a 370z i use about three
[78:01] track days a year i've done the diff oil
[78:04] cooler and a few other mods the last
[78:05] thing i'm missing to get it ready to be
[78:06] around the track is a big brake kit
[78:08] it's a large investment with the 400 z
[78:10] coming out i'm considering waiting and
[78:12] upgrading to that car
[78:13] any thoughts on whether the upgrade to
[78:14] the upgrade the brakes and stick with
[78:17] the 370 or upgrade to a 400 in a year
[78:20] just do pads and rotors for now
[78:23] kill the pads on rotors every time you
[78:25] go out in the brake fluid
[78:26] and wait because of uh like you said a
[78:29] brake a big brake kit's going to cost
[78:30] you about a good one
[78:32] it's like a 3 000 a 3500 investment
[78:35] so just do the pads and rotors for the
[78:37] three track days a year
[78:39] and then see where you're at in the 400
[78:41] z probably with a real set of tires
[78:43] it'll be faster than the car he's
[78:44] currently oh yeah for sure well it's the
[78:46] engine a lot
[78:46] that's what i mean yeah and you get the
[78:48] same basically architecture
[78:50] so what you like about your car plus
[78:52] another at least hundred dollars
[78:54] yeah all that other fun stuff it's gonna
[78:56] be a much much better car uh calvin w
[78:58] for ten dollars
[79:00] ignoring the subaru outback the only
[79:03] wagons available in canada
[79:05] cpo or vw audi mercedes and volvo
[79:08] do you you have opinions on which brand
[79:10] would outlive their warranties the
[79:12] longest
[79:13] yikes volvo i would never buy your car
[79:16] without a warranty i would never buy a
[79:17] volvo
[79:18] you're weak yeah this guy oh my volvo
[79:21] was fine to replace
[79:22] the head super trigger i replaced the
[79:24] whole car
[79:26] oh that's that's the key with the vulva
[79:28] right if you get a warranty you actually
[79:29] get a new car
[79:30] because they just replace everything
[79:32] yeah you or by 150
[79:33] 000 miles everything's new that's
[79:35] assuming they want to fix it that's the
[79:37] other problem
[79:38] what about vw audi mercedes out of those
[79:40] two mercedes or vw audi group
[79:42] vw i would too yeah vw audi there you go
[79:46] get a a6 wagon or anything yeah
[79:48] something that's
[79:49] produced that's shared across a large
[79:52] amount of vehicles is always a better
[79:54] bet
[79:54] the more esoteric and the more like uh
[79:58] you know unshared it is the lot more
[80:00] parts cost all that crap
[80:02] and we got a couple questions about why
[80:04] we didn't do a video today and it's
[80:05] because we ran
[80:06] out of time you know it's bad when i
[80:10] can't get something out
[80:12] i think it's just it's got to that point
[80:14] now where and we get the car to be fair
[80:16] the car we got that we've been reviewing
[80:17] is
[80:19] weirdly with certain brands they'll just
[80:21] tell us we're getting something
[80:22] last minute literally days before and
[80:24] it's a take it or leave it opportunity
[80:26] the tlx is a prime example of that they
[80:29] told us we were going to get it they
[80:30] didn't tell us one and then it showed
[80:32] up and you can't say no no you can't say
[80:35] no
[80:35] so that's friday's video the tlx type us
[80:38] and then what are we doing for monday
[80:40] like okay so we're going on a what are
[80:42] we doing this week we're going to
[80:44] road atlanta to shoot a part of our
[80:46] documentary with porsche
[80:47] so we're doing the gt3 stuff the 992
[80:51] so we leave on what tuesday or wednesday
[80:53] wednesday so we leave wednesday morning
[80:56] we go there we film wednesday night
[81:00] wednesday thursday all day fly back
[81:03] friday
[81:03] have a car that's two cars that are
[81:05] sitting here we have to film a car in
[81:07] two days
[81:08] so i have a video to release matt was
[81:09] supposed to drop off an is350 f sport
[81:11] today oh that never happened
[81:12] did it get pushed off i have no idea did
[81:14] you push it off i don't know i don't
[81:16] remember nothing i gotta call matt
[81:17] but anyway i mean anyway so we're gonna
[81:19] come back from a trip
[81:21] and i have to literally come back from a
[81:23] trip drive a car
[81:25] film a car in like one day and then edit
[81:28] it
[81:28] so i don't i work weekend so does mark
[81:31] mark's
[81:32] got more family obligations than i have
[81:33] so i can i can pull the seven days thing
[81:35] but
[81:36] put this in perspective every week
[81:39] for the next month and a half one of us
[81:42] will be traveling for work
[81:44] every week there's a bronco launch
[81:46] coming up we're doing this thing
[81:48] uh what the hell are we doing next we're
[81:50] doing oh and then we have big projects
[81:52] but thankfully for our viewers
[81:53] if you like cars the car quality of
[81:56] what's coming out
[81:57] has increased exponentially
[82:00] yeah and so the byproduct of this
[82:02] personally is
[82:04] work it's it's a drudgery so in order to
[82:07] do this
[82:08] play this game but now we have the
[82:10] corporate stuff
[82:11] which is a whole other yeah which we're
[82:13] not going to get into yeah we can't get
[82:15] into that but the corporate stuff isn't
[82:16] a massive amount of pressure
[82:18] because you have to you know it has to
[82:20] be amazing it's no joke yeah
[82:22] this isn't just your own personal thing
[82:24] this is somebody else's stuff
[82:25] so you have that then you have the
[82:27] obligation to feed the beast which is
[82:28] what i call it
[82:29] and you have to feed it you have to or
[82:32] you get killed on it
[82:34] and it has to be good it has to still
[82:36] follow what you're trying to do
[82:38] you have to make people happy with it
[82:40] and then your love for what you're doing
[82:42] starts to dissipate
[82:43] so i mean this is peak for me for the
[82:46] next two weeks i was thinking about
[82:47] driving here
[82:48] so we are doing the gt3 which that video
[82:51] and we're doing a 991.1 and then 1.2
[82:54] like documentary yeah
[82:55] it's the past two generations of the gt3
[82:58] and the brand new one
[82:59] yes and the cop car stuff and it'll be
[83:01] like the lfa video
[83:02] you're getting the head of 911 to be on
[83:05] camera patrick long
[83:06] lead keen the cars are going up in the
[83:09] air it's a full technical retrospective
[83:11] it's not just it's cool and it's fast
[83:13] this is a real video and it's a
[83:15] nightmare too and not getting paid to do
[83:17] it and we're doing it for free
[83:18] we're probably gonna lose money doing
[83:20] this yeah so at least in our time
[83:22] and on top of actually all the money
[83:25] associated with going all these places
[83:27] flying blah blah blah blah blah but
[83:29] you're getting that video and then once
[83:31] we come back from this
[83:32] we have an e63s wagon and a 911 turbo s
[83:37] then the week after that we get a mark 8
[83:40] gti one of the pre-production euro spec
[83:43] cars
[83:43] then the week after that we have a
[83:46] right up your alley we get one of the
[83:48] only mugen
[83:49] civic type r's in the united states
[83:52] built by the supplier from eugene japan
[83:54] it's a from king and we get a original
[83:58] mugen-specked
[84:00] uh integra type r that's all this month
[84:03] yeah there's a lot of cars
[84:04] and there's not enough time in the day
[84:07] so
[84:08] you know like it's hard to try to
[84:11] do the stuff and be in the moment
[84:13] because like
[84:14] obviously the people that are watching
[84:15] this if you're into cars you have this
[84:17] in your mindset what your dreams would
[84:19] be
[84:20] and right now i'm literally getting to
[84:22] live
[84:23] the dream of me 15 years ago getting
[84:25] access to all these cars
[84:27] but i'm no longer enjoying the access
[84:29] because it's the pressure because if i
[84:31] told you 15 years ago like me yeah
[84:33] 15 years ago it was like 10 but yeah
[84:34] right yeah you were like you weren't
[84:36] even
[84:36] born yet but you know if you told me in
[84:40] high school like jack you get to meet
[84:41] patrick long
[84:42] you're going to interview him and then
[84:44] you're going to get to drive a gt3
[84:45] by yourself at rhode alana chasing
[84:48] patrick long
[84:49] it's a dream and all you oh you and i
[84:51] are thinking about oh we got to get
[84:53] on a plane
[84:53] yeah no it's it's not just that it's
[84:55] like you have to do a good job
[84:57] you know like it's the pressure that i
[84:58] have on myself not to
[85:00] to to do this stuff and to to evolve
[85:03] it's got to be
[85:04] great yeah it's it's got to be good and
[85:06] that's the only way to survive in this
[85:08] game that we're trying to do
[85:10] to making free stuff that people
[85:12] continue to watch
[85:13] and like the subscriber thing it's
[85:16] really starting to get
[85:17] i i've always said this the subscriber
[85:18] number i don't care about
[85:20] but to see the numbers so bad means that
[85:24] i have to ask because people are not
[85:26] doing it or
[85:27] we've maxed out that small amount of
[85:29] people you know we're a very
[85:30] niche group of people who are willing to
[85:32] sit through a
[85:33] 20 40 15 minute video about engineering
[85:36] right yeah no you're right
[85:38] so it's hard though i need those numbers
[85:40] to improve
[85:41] to continue that algorithm to keep
[85:43] showing the content
[85:45] and then when we go to do these projects
[85:47] you have to have the numbers
[85:49] to be like we want to do something big
[85:51] for you for this company we're not
[85:52] asking for money we want to showcase
[85:54] this we want to tell a story give us the
[85:56] people that made it give us the access
[85:58] and they're like
[85:58] well you only had a 100 subscribers this
[86:02] month
[86:02] you know like that's the that
[86:04] you're up against in this game
[86:06] and obviously we have a large body of
[86:07] work now it's not as big of a deal as it
[86:09] used to be
[86:10] but those numbers are more important to
[86:12] the business than they are to me
[86:13] personally
[86:14] and now i'm getting pissed off because i
[86:17] have to ask for it because people are
[86:18] not doing it
[86:20] um and you know i have to figure out
[86:22] creatively
[86:23] how i'm going to do it in a way that's
[86:25] digestible not only to the viewers but
[86:26] to me
[86:27] to constantly ask the the stereotypes of
[86:30] asking and all that so
[86:32] all right moving on from us complaining
[86:34] i feel like and i apologize
[86:36] for those just who watch this complain
[86:37] but it's there there is some catharsis
[86:39] in it for us
[86:40] uh kj ballin 14
[86:44] for 10 for the valium reliability what
[86:46] will compete with the tlx type s is the
[86:49] upcoming is500 a direct competitor
[86:51] where do you think they will price the
[86:53] lexus so there is no pricing released
[86:55] unofficially or officially and you and i
[86:58] have this conversation again mark
[86:59] so the tlx type s will be a
[87:01] mass-produced car they'll sell a lot of
[87:03] them and it'll be what fifty three
[87:04] thousand dollars thereabouts
[87:06] i think so the is 500 lexus has
[87:10] said it'll be a limited production car
[87:12] so even if it's like 55 or 60 thousand
[87:14] dollars the dealers are going to
[87:16] annihilate you
[87:17] there's no way you're getting that car
[87:19] for under 60. no way
[87:21] if they're going to make it limited
[87:23] people are there
[87:24] the dealers are going to absolutely
[87:26] scalp you to death on it
[87:28] and that car is going to be worth a lot
[87:30] i mean it may not be the best car but
[87:31] it's going to be worth a lot of money
[87:33] yeah and so i got to ride in it um but
[87:36] yeah that one was modified yeah the one
[87:37] i wrote in has no bearing and you have
[87:40] they had one of their pro drivers so i
[87:42] got to meet uh pruitt
[87:44] scott who put me in a fuji with him and
[87:46] i don't
[87:48] i have no idea who drove the the other
[87:49] one he drove it like a madman
[87:52] and obviously you have a pro level
[87:54] driver
[87:55] the dynamics in the passenger seat
[87:57] particularly had turn downs it had
[87:59] lowering springs and a wing and all this
[88:01] other garbage so i have no idea but it
[88:02] sounded great
[88:03] yeah i'm sure so what else competes with
[88:06] the dlx type s
[88:07] is 350f sport but yeah those are the
[88:10] most direct cons
[88:11] direct competitors the two kind of
[88:12] japanese cars
[88:14] those would be the two and it just i
[88:17] guess it depends on what you want the
[88:18] tlx is going to annihilate
[88:21] the is350 and that's just because of the
[88:23] motor
[88:24] it doesn't have what it takes to keep up
[88:26] i think dynamically
[88:27] the is is going to be more connected
[88:30] to drive but
[88:34] the tlx is going to be a much better car
[88:36] oh no doubt the tlx
[88:38] so i drove the is350 on track the f
[88:40] sport and all the other journalists
[88:42] hate the motor though this is garbage i
[88:44] will say it does two things better than
[88:46] the
[88:47] is-3 than the tlx the gearbox doesn't
[88:50] auto-up shift
[88:51] so if you are driving on the track you
[88:52] can bang the limiter in certain corners
[88:54] and not put you in the wrong gear
[88:56] and it is still rear driven which means
[88:58] it's a car that will trail brake
[89:00] and it'll under braking rotate into a
[89:02] slide you can't just give it gas to get
[89:04] it to rotate but it's impressive
[89:06] dynamically it's a really really good
[89:07] car it's just not fast
[89:09] right and the motor is not good by
[89:11] modern standards
[89:12] yeah it's it's a new dated car but again
[89:16] you're not the people that are buying
[89:18] the is350 and the tlx type s are not
[89:20] somebody
[89:21] that's like oh i've had like 10 audis
[89:23] and 5 bmws
[89:24] unless they got burned by those birds
[89:25] right right that's it they're not going
[89:27] to appeal to that
[89:28] so i guess you have to look at it
[89:30] differently i would say
[89:31] right now the tlx would be a better car
[89:33] to have and own long term because it
[89:35] does everything better
[89:36] really overall the whole scope of it but
[89:39] the is personally i would rather the is
[89:41] because i like the way it looks i like
[89:42] the style of it i like what the kind of
[89:44] the ethos of what they're doing
[89:46] rear dry platform and naturally
[89:48] aspirated motor that it will never have
[89:50] a problem
[89:51] ever and i'd be willing to make those
[89:53] trade-offs that that's me
[89:54] so yeah you just objectively from a
[89:56] reviewer's perspective tlx is like
[89:59] that's the best
[90:00] cool sedan you could probably get for
[90:02] the money for the money
[90:03] absolutely i think the germans do a
[90:05] better job but they are way more money
[90:07] [Music]
[90:08] uh and they have weight loss character
[90:10] and are not as reliable
[90:12] but for a lease well you don't know
[90:14] reliability
[90:15] this is the first motor that they were
[90:17] i'm sorry the first
[90:18] engine with a twin turbo v6 that they
[90:21] made so who knows
[90:23] uh adrian q what current future 2022
[90:27] electric vehicle excluding tesla's due
[90:29] to their charging network
[90:31] do you believe has a chance for mass
[90:33] adoption and where's the arby's
[90:35] so i made him not get arby's today yeah
[90:37] i'm like dude
[90:38] it's live stream day let's hit arby's
[90:40] he's like well
[90:41] maybe it would be a good idea if we did
[90:48] so then i punched him now we didn't get
[90:50] arby's
[90:51] um what was the other part of that um
[90:54] all i heard was arby's dude and
[90:56] everything went black what uh
[90:58] what brand or company you think will do
[90:59] mass adoption ev
[91:01] other than tesla ford ford has a really
[91:04] good chance of doing that now with the
[91:06] f-150
[91:08] toyota's behind the eight ball they know
[91:09] it but once toyota figures out a way to
[91:11] build infrastructure and
[91:13] infrastructure has to be worked on with
[91:14] a local government as well
[91:17] realistically that's the only way to do
[91:18] a massive infrastructure yeah you're not
[91:20] kidding like the
[91:22] that is huge but that's at least five
[91:24] years out
[91:25] the kia and hyundai keep pushing this ev
[91:28] thing
[91:29] and personally to me the whole eevee
[91:32] thing
[91:32] with kiana hyundai i do not believe them
[91:35] i don't believe them from past
[91:36] experience with dealing with them
[91:38] every time i asked them questions they
[91:40] were not serious about evie now all of a
[91:42] sudden they're serious about evie
[91:44] until i see these cars on the road like
[91:46] really on the road not just in
[91:48] california i i
[91:49] definitely i'm gonna wait and see on
[91:52] that one but
[91:53] yeah i think ford is in the best
[91:54] position they're the first one to ev a
[91:56] truck
[91:57] and that's like the perfect place
[92:00] groundbreaking yeah i mean i i don't
[92:01] care about it but i mean
[92:03] you know you can do that to the biggest
[92:04] volume seller in the world and make it
[92:06] work
[92:07] then it's just and ford has the
[92:09] connections with the local us government
[92:10] to build
[92:11] infrastructure if i was ford and i'm
[92:13] sure this is what they're doing i'd work
[92:15] with my local
[92:16] government in this case detroit and
[92:19] subsidize them and help them build an ev
[92:22] infrastructure for my trucks so not only
[92:25] is it a marketing one
[92:26] it's an engineering one as well yeah
[92:29] i mean i sounds good to me so
[92:33] give me some of that money so i'm i'm in
[92:35] local government i want some of that
[92:37] money how do you give it to me
[92:39] i'll put whatever you want up i'll put a
[92:41] sign in your face on
[92:42] every charger if you want if you give me
[92:44] a couple hundred thousand a year
[92:45] are more oh seven are there any makes or
[92:48] models thank you for the five dollars
[92:50] with genuinely connected feeling
[92:52] electric power steering
[92:53] who is doing the best eps
[92:57] affordably oh no well you just said best
[92:59] porsche
[93:00] [Music]
[93:02] i don't know all right what's the best
[93:05] what's the best
[93:06] steering car you've driven anything that
[93:08] doesn't have an assist
[93:11] i mean honestly i i don't know all the
[93:13] electric power steering racks feel
[93:15] almost completely the same to me and the
[93:17] more they tout the marketing that
[93:19] they're amazing the more i'm like i
[93:22] don't know we talked about it so like
[93:23] the the 86
[93:24] it's still rack mountain the 86 is
[93:26] probably one of the best
[93:27] and then the 992 yeah then
[93:31] probably i would say honestly the 86
[93:33] that's a really good one
[93:35] it's it's but then again it's subaru
[93:38] who has historically amazing steering
[93:41] feel
[93:41] on their older generations yeah the s209
[93:43] well the draw stiffeners on the front
[93:45] was incredible yeah
[93:46] i mean one of the best steering cars out
[93:48] there aside from you know like real
[93:50] hardcore sports cars so
[93:51] the 86 is always good but they have that
[93:53] foundation obviously that whatever
[93:55] they're doing with mounting in front
[93:56] subframes and all that
[93:57] how they have it set up it just
[93:59] translates well into an eps and i think
[94:01] the problem we talk about this a lot
[94:04] their found their goal in making cars is
[94:07] not to transmit anything through the
[94:08] steering wheel
[94:09] so by design to start you're already
[94:13] numbed everything out so when they go to
[94:14] make a sports car version like oh
[94:16] we started everything by numbing it out
[94:18] now we got to take things out and it's
[94:19] not like
[94:20] pure so you don't get a lot of feeling
[94:22] back no matter what you do
[94:24] so i don't know buy an 86
[94:27] yeah and the new 86 as well it revises
[94:29] the bushing in the steering rack to make
[94:31] it even more direct
[94:32] that's something they talked about as
[94:34] well well direct is different than
[94:35] feel right yeah you can have a direct
[94:38] steering rack like you can make any car
[94:40] direct steering rack you just make it
[94:41] yes
[94:42] yeah yeah i mean but you don't feel
[94:44] anything so
[94:45] it doesn't load up yeah uh hopefully
[94:48] that answers your question in that
[94:49] regards i know that one's a little tough
[94:51] uh but a super donkey for 20
[94:55] canadian i bought a 20 20 super on every
[94:58] hyundai accent driver
[94:59] wants to race me and why a supra yeah
[95:01] he's a he's a
[95:03] cool dude he bought a supra why does
[95:06] every hyundai accent because they're
[95:07] jealous brah
[95:09] now i think a lot of it is curiosity of
[95:11] people wanting to see
[95:14] what it is the car can do they want to
[95:16] hear it they want to see it go by they
[95:17] want to see it accelerate i found that
[95:19] that's what a lot of people do when they
[95:20] stop me
[95:21] and when i'm in like the kia rio
[95:24] especially
[95:25] like i'll roll down my windows like man
[95:27] is that a kia rio i'm like okay i'm like
[95:29] can you can you do like a
[95:30] cbt dump so i just get that thing wound
[95:33] up and they're like wow
[95:35] on a serious note it's amazing you know
[95:38] if you remove
[95:39] yourself from like the the weird
[95:41] subculture
[95:42] that is the internet when it comes to
[95:44] cars regular people
[95:46] don't think of the supra as being a bmw
[95:49] or whatever no no
[95:50] they think it's a cool sports car the
[95:51] looks i mean there's nothing else that
[95:53] looks like it
[95:54] yep so it does have that huge wow factor
[95:57] um that somebody stopped me the day i
[95:59] was in the car and they're like man that
[96:01] car looks so cool what is it you know
[96:02] what is it like and like
[96:04] is it loud is it fast i'm like this is
[96:06] at a stoplight i'm like
[96:07] you know you're trying to give them a
[96:08] history lesson on this car without
[96:10] sounding like a douche but they were
[96:12] more excited about it than i would
[96:14] pull out your monroe and be like well
[96:16] now i
[96:17] paid so much money you know you can't
[96:19] even make this in three years
[96:23] um next question from nick dion
[96:26] for twenty dollars uh i have a 2016 audi
[96:30] s6 with 87 000 miles have an expensive
[96:33] cleaning engine out service at 100k and
[96:36] then turbo screen service every forty
[96:37] thousand
[96:38] is it worth keeping to a hundred fifty
[96:39] thousand miles realistic slash
[96:41] reasonable uh no i would not keep that
[96:45] car to 150 000 miles
[96:47] why not an engine out
[96:51] engine out that's that's nothing i don't
[96:54] know man i mean
[96:54] the the 16 s6 still had the twin turbo
[96:57] v8 if i remember
[96:58] it's a really cool car i just i feel
[97:00] like a lot of these cars
[97:02] particularly automatic luxury sedans
[97:04] that have even you know
[97:06] super sedans like that is they're not a
[97:08] car you keep long term they're like you
[97:09] here and now purchase and then
[97:11] sooner or later they go to they go off
[97:13] to live their life at a buy here pay
[97:14] here a lot
[97:16] i saw an s eight not an s8 a uh a8
[97:20] in woodstock at like one of the buy here
[97:22] pay here lots
[97:24] the thing like it literally it looked
[97:25] like it was about eight years old and
[97:27] the thing was listed for 17
[97:29] 000 and i'm like
[97:32] like hey maybe i should stop in then i'd
[97:35] be making those videos hey man i got
[97:37] this cool car for 10
[97:38] 000. and i put 50 000 here's my journey
[97:42] and my girlfriend she's got a bikini on
[97:46] oh that's sorry that was your plan no no
[97:48] that's that's what i plan on doing when
[97:49] i buy a new 86.
[97:50] when you buy your bmws i bought all the
[97:53] cheapest m cars and now women want me
[97:56] they they want me when it's on the tow
[97:58] truck driving by they can ride on the
[98:00] tow truck it's cool the horns are loud
[98:04] we got to do a speed round so we said
[98:05] we're going to end at 6 30. it's already
[98:07] past that and we have to shoot the tlx
[98:10] tonight
[98:10] all right so please stop donating yeah
[98:13] don't donate
[98:14] whatever you've done so far is way more
[98:16] than expected you're gonna get a lot for
[98:18] your money i promise you
[98:20] and subscribe like follow me on every
[98:22] single multi
[98:23] or social media platform oh we've
[98:25] got a lot of questions how many
[98:27] a lot like what's a lot like half a page
[98:29] is worth
[98:30] to define numbers do you have numbers
[98:32] one two three
[98:33] four five six seven
[98:36] probably like 20. so i'm gonna speed
[98:39] through these okay so
[98:40] we're getting close to battery being
[98:42] dead so we'll
[98:43] speed through it oh my god
[98:46] all righty then uh
[98:51] i having a lx 470
[98:54] ls 530 and i will use gs350 that i can
[98:57] electronically make
[98:58] and mechanically maintain do you feel
[99:00] the the newer ownership experience of
[99:03] of cars benefits and outweighs the cost
[99:08] that didn't actually make any sense to
[99:09] me the the new the
[99:11] so he has an lx470 yeah ls430
[99:14] and now we'll use gs350 okay he can
[99:17] service them and maintain them
[99:19] but do you feel like the ownership of a
[99:21] newer car ben if
[99:22] the benefits of owning a newer car out
[99:24] weighs the cost of not being able to
[99:26] work on the the
[99:27] whole problem with the new cars is
[99:29] they're expensive and they're way more
[99:30] complicated
[99:31] and they're more complicated for a
[99:33] multitude of reasons which we talked
[99:34] about a lot
[99:35] so not only are you paying more but your
[99:37] costs to keep them long-term are going
[99:39] to be
[99:40] way more excessive as they get broken
[99:43] and are difficult to fix
[99:45] we saw that with the the ella the new ls
[99:47] 500
[99:48] the head mechanic who's been working on
[99:50] lexus cars for 20 years
[99:52] said the worst car he's worked on the
[99:53] worst lexus was the new
[99:55] twin turbo v6 the engine is so hard to
[99:58] work on
[99:58] everything's hard to get at that's a
[100:00] perfect example of
[100:02] even from one of the most reliable
[100:04] companies how complicated has gone
[100:06] and that's that brand you can times that
[100:07] by
[100:08] a lot more with the other companies so
[100:10] the whole point is i don't want to get
[100:11] caught up on this old shit's better but
[100:13] old old things
[100:15] were more simple because they could be
[100:17] now they are no longer because
[100:19] they have to be complicated to meet all
[100:21] these regulations so you keep the long
[100:23] long term stuff and anything new you
[100:25] have to lease and that was from
[100:27] daniel for ten dollars moving on okay
[100:28] next question carlos for five
[100:30] what luxury suv would you put money on
[100:32] thoughts on a three row coming from
[100:34] lexus there is a three three-row what's
[100:35] called the rx 350 l and it's terrible
[100:38] i don't think it's terrible but though
[100:39] the third row is adjustable that's what
[100:40] i mean it's terrible it's a three row
[100:43] yeah it's just there for the sake of
[100:44] having something on on sale it's not
[100:46] particularly usable what luxury suv
[100:48] would you buy
[100:49] real luxury suv three row yeah xc90 with
[100:52] a huge warranty i think it's one of the
[100:54] best three rows you can get it's
[100:55] enormous
[100:56] it just you're gonna have it in the shop
[100:58] a lot and then the q7
[101:00] yeah to me it's bmw x7 because the same
[101:02] thing as the x5 that's two
[101:04] that's too much money how much is that
[101:06] thing it's a lot of money i
[101:08] think it starts at like 90.
[101:09] oh all right never mind then if i'm
[101:10] unless i'm mistaken
[101:12] i think the q7 starts cheaper so the
[101:15] volvo's the cheapest price of entry then
[101:17] you get to the q7 and then
[101:19] x7 uh women respect her for five dollars
[101:22] hope this pays off your gold chain from
[101:24] the bentega video
[101:25] yeah man i'm still on that thing was on
[101:27] layaway they'll let me borrow it for a
[101:29] day for the shoot but i gotta bring it
[101:30] back and pay it off joseph for two
[101:32] dollars can we talk about the new mazda
[101:34] cx-5 coming out
[101:35] we talked about it briefly in the
[101:37] beginning of the stream with a factory
[101:38] between lexus and
[101:39] and toyota and mazda who knows i don't
[101:42] know what it's going to be like i have
[101:44] no idea what they're going to pump out
[101:45] of there but my guess is it's a cx-5
[101:47] it's going to be
[101:48] some cx-5 variant because that's their
[101:50] highest volume car
[101:51] and they need to have it locally so
[101:52] they're not eating shipping it out
[101:54] of japan with the conversion
[101:56] uh i'm i'm gonna butcher your name i'm
[102:00] sorry man
[102:01] pranay uh for ten dollars thank you for
[102:04] your donation buying my 19 raptor was a
[102:06] lesson in checking the mechanical design
[102:08] for corner cutting
[102:09] in his car's case the intercooler fan is
[102:12] low and eats sand off road
[102:14] what's the best resource for finding
[102:15] finding designs before buying a car
[102:17] honestly
[102:20] this one's tough as like a member of
[102:22] public and not the press corps
[102:23] trying to read any of the engineering
[102:25] briefs or product
[102:26] releases they do ahead of time but ford
[102:28] is a good example they don't really
[102:30] share any of that information because
[102:31] they don't think their customers value
[102:33] it
[102:33] so again that's kind of like our job to
[102:35] talk about it but even then the
[102:37] engineering
[102:38] most outlets don't talk about it so it's
[102:40] hard to know anything right
[102:42] so i'm sorry that's not a good good
[102:44] answer for you but that's just the
[102:46] realities of this
[102:47] um or you know buy a car that's been out
[102:51] for a long time that is an enthusiast
[102:52] product people are going to talk about
[102:53] the
[102:54] defects pretty quickly yeah no
[102:55] absolutely so forms yeah
[102:57] uh allen park for five dollars
[103:00] uh one high performance daily e63 wagon
[103:04] rs6 versus a two-car garage which is an
[103:07] suv and sports coupe what would you do
[103:11] let's say that again would you rather
[103:12] have two cars like an suv and a sports
[103:15] car yes
[103:16] i agree i think unless you're already so
[103:18] rich you can afford an e63
[103:20] and you can also have your sports car if
[103:22] you only have two cars you gotta have
[103:24] the real car
[103:25] you gotta have the fun car that's it and
[103:28] to to make that real car do everything
[103:29] it's gotta be the hauler it's gotta have
[103:31] the space it's gotta have all the
[103:32] practical stuff
[103:33] so you're not sacrificing that one and
[103:35] then having to get a third one
[103:37] you can only do two if you get a three
[103:39] cars then you have the tier of it you
[103:41] have a gt car you have a hauler and then
[103:43] you have a pure sports car i mean that's
[103:45] or to be fair as well if you never have
[103:48] time to drive your car like the
[103:49] like chris the guy who owns the gt3 and
[103:52] your only little bit of fun is going to
[103:53] the work
[103:54] going to work then have your one sports
[103:56] car in his case he's a mcconnen turbo
[103:58] that's the problem because you're
[104:00] talking about a totally different issue
[104:01] he doesn't have the time for even his
[104:03] sports car so he probably shouldn't have
[104:04] the sports car
[104:05] i agree well maybe i don't know i mean
[104:07] it's just it's like a garage jewel it's
[104:09] garage jewelry and i know
[104:10] i'm sure he hates it he hates it like i
[104:12] do in some cases like doing that
[104:14] but i don't know there's no right answer
[104:16] it's it's based on what you you want
[104:17] booty blasted for five dollars wish your
[104:19] bidet video got more views recently got
[104:21] a cheap one that's changed my life
[104:23] there's not anybody that i know unless
[104:26] you get a staph infection from the bidet
[104:28] that has anything negative to say about
[104:31] having your
[104:31] your b hole sprayed clean or if you're a
[104:35] whatever gender if you don't have a b
[104:37] hole if it's just
[104:38] butt cheeks or just do you wash your
[104:41] face with it it's going to change you
[104:44] um my god moses for 5.00 let's be real
[104:51] um if andy the labs video played on your
[104:55] channel it would do better
[104:59] uh what video yeah any video
[105:03] deb makes some of the genuinely i we
[105:05] were talking about this today
[105:07] it kills me that deb's videos don't get
[105:08] more views sometimes because
[105:10] her cinematography and her perspective
[105:11] is unique and very very good
[105:13] i'm not going to comment too much on
[105:14] that i think there's ways that she could
[105:16] get more views
[105:17] but it will work required to do things
[105:19] that she is not currently in the place
[105:21] to do
[105:22] she has to feed the beast way more she's
[105:24] to release more videos
[105:26] and it's it's a grind that i don't think
[105:27] she could possibly do
[105:29] nor could she want to do that um yes
[105:33] i think her videos would do better as
[105:35] maybe like
[105:37] collaborations but what's the value to
[105:39] her to do that
[105:40] that's then it's not her own stuff like
[105:42] you're right if i put like her dbx video
[105:44] on my channel and i just
[105:46] put myself in it for like two minutes
[105:48] probably probably do great
[105:49] she needs that exposure but she's also
[105:51] playing to a different market
[105:53] like the people that watch my want
[105:54] to know technical stuff they want to
[105:56] know like engineers hers are for like
[105:58] real people that are buying these things
[106:00] and women and there's
[106:02] probably 90 percent of well i don't know
[106:03] what her statistics are but it got to be
[106:05] a lot more women that watch her stuff
[106:06] than watch me
[106:07] watch me and i mean like i got three
[106:09] girls that watch and i have to pay all
[106:10] of them and the rest are bots
[106:12] [Laughter]
[106:13] uh mr physical for five dollars when
[106:16] will you review a chevy celebrity
[106:18] oh my god uh
[106:22] if if i if i could get one i would
[106:26] but and they're they're all only the
[106:28] boneyard out here dude
[106:29] like if you found one be a miracle
[106:33] yeah good luck uh j mac for five dollars
[106:35] we've already asked answer this question

[106:56] totally screwed um
[107:01] wow doge hi mark currently waiting on
[107:03] the bronco reservations my second
[107:05] vehicle what's your opinion on them well

[107:15] what do you think about the price tag on
[107:16] the 718 gts 4 liter
[107:19] what do i think about the price tag of
[107:20] it it's high but it's good
[107:22] it's amazing wait you said it was like
[107:24] if you don't have the gt4 money
[107:26] you're not really losing that much with
[107:27] that not as a street car not as a street
[107:29] car
[107:29] i think it's i think it's appropriately
[107:32] priced it's a value
[107:34] um oh my god uh mr alastair we're almost
[107:39] through these mark don't worry
[107:40] uh when do you think car prices will
[107:42] come back to normal i sold my car and i
[107:43] don't feel like buying one at its
[107:44] current prices next year
[107:46] yeah probably after winter uh
[107:50] han w for five dollars nd mx5
[107:54] 2019 toyota 86 and a 2018 m2dct not
[107:59] competition which one would you sell
[108:02] 86 86 yeah the nd and the m2
[108:05] fulfill a more interesting segment um
[108:10] adam e 52 for five dollars more rtok not
[108:13] daily anymore just gonna sell my 18 golf
[108:15] r and just find a cheap
[108:17] fun uh fun used car for a few years
[108:20] not a good idea than right now because
[108:23] of use prices yeah i wouldn't buy a car
[108:24] right now because you use prices
[108:26] but if you want to sell one like your
[108:27] golf r it makes sense if you had to
[108:29] if you had to buy one then you have
[108:31] you're getting you're going to pay a lot
[108:32] more that's it
[108:34] uh daniel art for 10 hey guys i wanted
[108:36] to talk to you and thank you for all
[108:38] your videos
[108:39] i recently bought an nd2 as my post
[108:41] divorce midlife crisis car and
[108:43] absolutely love it
[108:44] coming from a domestic car guys your
[108:45] vids opened my eyes daniel
[108:47] congratulations on the nd2 that car's
[108:49] amazing
[108:49] yeah you're i mean i don't see it as a
[108:51] divorce midlife crisis car i think it's
[108:53] just a fun car
[108:54] yeah he bought the wrong car for divorce
[108:56] car that's a c5
[108:57] automatically a c5 pace c5 pace car with
[109:01] like the harley livery on the back
[109:03] no i think that's a car that opens your

[111:22] i wouldn't say what it is yeah but it's
[111:25] something that's never been done before
[111:27] and it's extraordinarily
[111:29] involved um i think it will open up a
[111:32] lot of doors i don't know how many
[111:33] people are going to watch it but it's
[111:35] definitely something
[111:36] any viewer on here is going to learn
[111:39] so much that you've never heard or never
[111:41] seen before and especially for future
[111:43] stuff
[111:44] and it's one of those that you could
[111:45] easily share out and get people to be
[111:47] educated on the topic so it's i'm
[111:49] excited for it i just know
[111:51] it's not going to pay off for the amount
[111:52] of work that we're putting into it
[111:55] babygravy969

[112:28] what's your best u.s car currently in
[112:30] production i'm a european who fell in
[112:32] love with american cars
[112:34] mach 1 and c8 even though i hate the c8
[112:38] gt500 well yeah i guess michael i feel i
[112:41] feel like the mach 1 is the car that you
[112:43] would buy and you wouldn't have to worry
[112:44] about
[112:45] it having a problem yeah probably
[112:48] uh friscoism where's the beef and
[112:51] cheddar
[112:51] this is a live stream did arby stop
[112:53] sponsoring you so i had a problem with
[112:54] corporate arby's this week
[112:56] really yeah i did i like i talked to joe
[113:00] who handles their beef and cheddar mix
[113:02] and last time i'm like dude the cheddar
[113:04] ratio is like
[113:05] all off like it took me it just tasted
[113:08] dry so i'm like dude joe what are we
[113:10] gonna do about this and he's like
[113:12] i'll tell you what you can go
[113:13] yourself so he cut me off of the beef
[113:16] and cheddars he does not want bad pr
[113:18] on this channel so um i'm gonna try to
[113:21] work
[113:21] work my magic with him this week
[113:23] probably slide into his
[113:24] uh his house he'd just get drunk and
[113:27] drive right through his front window
[113:30] where's my fifa cheddar joe uh
[113:34] evio 67 for ten dollars really
[113:37] appreciate all the work you do have you
[113:38] ever reviewed a
[113:39] bmw 1m i have one since new was
[113:42] considered selling it for an m2cs before
[113:44] it was gone but decided to keep the 1m
[113:46] at the end
[113:47] i drove a 1m a long long time ago
[113:50] and it was amazing but it's like the m2
[113:52] it's basically the same i drove a
[113:53] one um
[113:54] i just hate the way those cars look well
[113:55] you like the way the m2 looks too
[113:58] do i like the one i'm too i hate them
[113:59] too you hate both of them i just feel
[114:01] like it's like
[114:02] honda civic dude it's like to me i look
[114:04] at it i'm like yeah
[114:06] no they're they're actually one of the
[114:08] better cars to drive i just i don't know
[114:10] what it is i don't like the way that
[114:11] they look they look all like distorted
[114:15] i think the 1m will always be a special
[114:17] car and the m2cs will be special for
[114:19] different reasons
[114:20] you got to be a bmw person to really
[114:22] like those we're doing an mtcs this
[114:23] summer too
[114:24] uh we're working with a shirt yeah yeah
[114:26] congratulations i told you about this
[114:27] we're working with the charity we're
[114:28] talking to the track
[114:29] i blacked it out no i mean i'm sure it's
[114:32] i'm sure it's amazing
[114:34] john dara for five dollars any word on a
[114:36] patagonia sponsor so i
[114:38] looked into it they don't sponsor anyone
[114:40] yeah they can sponsor the most
[114:42] wasteful industry okay man we talk about
[114:44] disposable cars that's
[114:46] they spend billions of dollars on
[114:48] creating waste
[114:49] can you sponsor us the guy would
[114:51] probably be like joe from
[114:53] arby's dude he'd probably drive his his
[114:55] hang glider through my one
[114:57] when you shield with a bayonet on the
[114:58] front of it
[115:01] this locally sourced hang glider it's
[115:03] his hand-built hand glider that he
[115:05] he flew across the country on the wind
[115:07] tails i
[115:08] hate uh shysters for five dollars you
[115:11] think government's mandating
[115:12] only zero emission vehicles for the
[115:14] future is realistic
[115:18] i don't know dude you have five years
[115:20] four years it could be like we're going
[115:22] coal-powered cars and then
[115:23] then all of a sudden we're getting rid
[115:25] of emissions and we're gonna we're gonna
[115:27] block everything
[115:28] i don't know i i'm tired of thinking
[115:30] about it i don't think it's realistic
[115:32] short term no the infrastructure is the
[115:34] problem yeah
[116:53] just let me know if it's back it's not
[116:56] bad yet
[116:57] is the audio back uh it says it's the
[116:59] next oh
[117:00] hello we're back look at that
[117:04] all right so there might be audio delay
[117:06] now i have no idea
[117:07] i mean it depends but really we need to
[117:10] can't we need to get
[117:11] kill this so what i'll do is we're going
[117:13] to how many more questions
[117:14] other back can you hear us is there a
[117:16] delay as well
[117:18] in our voices to video
[117:22] it's back yeah we know that we have five
[117:25] questions left okay fine just get it
[117:27] done all right i'm going to the bathroom
[117:29] [Laughter]

[117:36] mic in like your
[117:37] uh yeah frank drebin i'm gonna put my
[117:40] hands on the wall
[117:40] [Laughter]
[117:43] all right so it's just me and you now
[117:45] this is this is real fun
[117:47] all right so i'm gonna go back to the
[117:49] question so
[117:50] what youtube asked was is there a
[117:53] better car for the money
[117:55] for power output than the supra right
[117:57] now that's brand new
[117:58] probably not um it's a great car i just
[118:01] drove it on track
[118:02] for like a quarter of a day recently at
[118:04] toyota headquarters
[118:06] dynamically it's wonderful it rotates
[118:09] into breaking great it's really well
[118:11] balanced
[118:11] you just if you're a taller person
[118:14] like i am your head's going to hit the
[118:16] roof and it doesn't have a lot of
[118:17] visibility
[118:18] obviously there is the wind buffeting
[118:19] thing which is annoying when you have
[118:20] both windows down and
[118:22] if you're really a toyota person and you
[118:24] like real toyotas
[118:27] it might the bmw nest might bug you it
[118:29] doesn't bother me
[118:30] but oh well uh hamid

[118:35] afraid to ask
[118:36] for subscribers i will tell mark that uh

[119:15] i'm you believable um
[119:20] the first gen uh jeep srt8 rising in
[119:23] value seems like
[119:25] um honestly if you've driven one the
[119:29] gearbox is so horrible
[119:31] and that car all it did was get
[119:32] mechanically better throughout the years
[119:34] the styling change so
[119:35] i don't know it doesn't make a whole lot
[119:36] of sense to me uh jd tech and gear for
[119:39] ten dollars

[120:29] um uh jd tech and gear for ten dollars
[120:33] uh have you ever considered doing a
[120:34] video topic on engine tuning and
[120:36] affecting the drivability
[120:38] of effects on the drivetrain and
[120:40] suspension stress blah blah blah blah
[120:41] blah we are
[120:42] planning on one day doing a fine print
[120:44] video on ecu tuning
[120:46] yeah we we had a plan but uh you know i
[120:50] i schedule too many cars yeah jack
[120:51] scheduled too many cars and projects
[120:53] where i can't physically uh go to bed
[120:55] anymore
[120:57] on for five dollars canadian hi guys
[120:59] asked a while ago about releasing rs3
[121:01] video
[121:02] i would love to do an rs3 but we're
[121:04] never going to get one at this rate i've
[121:06] asked local viewers no one has them and
[121:07] they still make it right audi ain't
[121:09] giving us squat they're like oh we have
[121:11] five
[121:11] five cars in all of north america put it
[121:13] on the list email them because i emailed
[121:15] them three cars i emailed them i wanted
[121:17] the sq7
[121:18] the r8 and like two other cars like oh
[121:21] we don't have
[121:22] either of them but they're in a model
[121:23] changeover so we'll put that on the list
[121:25] you're right i mean we should have this
[121:27] stuff honestly there's no excuse why not
[121:29] to
[121:29] so between the new brz and the nd2 this
[121:32] is for 20
[121:32] for wood and steel i live in the
[121:34] chicagoland area and love the content
[121:35] well thank you wooden steel 92.
[121:38] uh if you need to use the car every day
[121:40] then you end uh the new
[121:41] brz right yep over the nd
[121:45] yeah yeah absolutely it's more usable
[121:48] uh farooq shahib for five dollars
[121:52] canadian oh we're so close mark we're
[121:53] almost done
[121:54] can you do a uh fine print video
[121:57] explaining suspension components
[121:59] sure we should do that yeah we'll get
[122:01] well because
[122:02] i know a lot but i'm not an engine i'm
[122:04] not obviously an engineer so we'll get
[122:06] somebody on the engineering side that is
[122:09] competent to talk on camera and we'll
[122:11] walk through different things
[122:12] to explain like the differences of it
[122:14] and that's something i've wanted to do
[122:16] again it's just the fine print ones take
[122:18] the most amount of time to do them right
[122:20] and often don't have a lot of reward no
[122:22] they they typically don't
[122:23] because it's so obscure um
[122:28] sean for 20 canadian recently bought a
[122:30] lightly used gt350
[122:32] partially influenced by your opinion i
[122:34] consider it a low spec c8 but there's no
[122:35] manual and i figured the gt350
[122:38] was a better driver's car do you do you
[122:39] think i made the right choice
[122:42] 350 or c8 350. 350. it's amazing car
[122:45] yeah it's always the right answer still
[122:47] blows up yeah
[122:49] uh kyle hernandez what do you think
[122:51] about the best grand tour for 30 to 40

[123:04] i'm talking about gt cars like
[123:07] we're talking about like that xf jag are
[123:09] we talking about like that type of stuff
[123:11] let's say sports car something that's
[123:13] fun in the twist season doesn't look
[123:14] like a turd
[123:19] slightly used mustang or camaro
[123:23] you can't get an rcf for that price you
[123:25] can't get a bmw that's reliable
[123:26] nd is too small brz isn't a great gt car
[123:30] it's a good daily it's not a good gt car
[123:33] what about like an a6 or something is
[123:35] that a gt car no because it's not fun on

[124:14] per week per year per year uh
[124:18] hater man for five dollars canadian do

[124:30] more that that dies the more there's
[124:31] going to be a market for it people are
[124:32] going to want it

[125:39] unfairly critical
[125:40] criticized in the the prior q a first
[125:44] oem to realize the future of combats

[125:55] stolantis the durango is great you want
[125:59] a three-row
[126:00] muscle suv the wrangler and gladiator
[126:02] are unique that's why
[126:04] ford had to copy them with a bronco i'm
[126:05] sure toyota
[126:07] someone is pushing for something like an
[126:08] fj a jeep
[126:11] i mean they're very focused products are
[126:13] very good
[126:14] and they're that's why people love them
[126:16] so much because they're focused on what
[126:18] it is
[126:18] their customer is and all that um i
[126:21] would disagree
[126:23] on the caliber i'm sorry that i have to
[126:26] disagree but i have a magazine
[126:28] in my uh box over there when the car and
[126:31] driver reviewed the caliber srt versus
[126:33] all the other cars
[126:35] and while it certainly had some decent
[126:39] performance
[126:40] that thing was built like a ship

[126:53] love it why don't people
[126:54] love volvo sedans well because it's an
[126:56] obscure brand
[126:58] you agree yeah yoshi for ten dollars is
[127:01] mark passing a kidney stone
[127:03] i was perfect uh
[127:07] javier all right legitimately last like
[127:09] three questions javier
[127:11] what's your process for creating youtube
[127:13] content meditating in the chili's
[127:15] bathroom or
[127:16] until the amphetamines are made
[127:20] are made on the car or topic
[127:24] what's your process creatively mark
[127:27] simply
[127:28] it used to be getting absorbed in the
[127:30] product
[127:31] now it's it's the same like i don't
[127:34] really want to know anything about a car
[127:36] until i get it
[127:37] and drive it and get absorbed that way
[127:39] and pretty quickly because every car is
[127:41] the same now
[127:43] there's not a lot of excitement because
[127:44] they're so similar
[127:46] uh so i relish the idea of okay picking
[127:49] out who this car is for
[127:51] what it's good at what it's not good at
[127:54] and then trying to make it appealing to
[127:56] watch
[127:56] and that's that's about it that's as
[127:58] deep as it gets right now
[128:00] or a p auckland for 22.23
[128:03] how about a peeing savage geese t-shirt
[128:05] in the merch shop
[128:06] yeah peeing on myself like missing the
[128:09] car that i'm hanging on like
[128:11] i just burnt i just burned the bridge
[128:13] and i peed on myself
[128:15] uh we are doing new t-shirts though yeah
[128:17] so let me
[128:18] i know there's like not i mean there's
[128:20] not a ton of people watching this so
[128:22] uh chicago auto pros is still gonna ship
[128:24] the shirts but i made a switch because
[128:26] as it turned out the original shirts
[128:28] that got designed
[128:30] were made in the us with foreign
[128:32] materials
[128:33] and that's my fault because i didn't
[128:35] supervise the entire part of the process
[128:37] i just thought it would be like okay i
[128:39] want to i want a u.s
[128:40] source t-shirt wasn't that way so i've
[128:42] contacted
[128:43] the owner of a company that controls the
[128:46] supply chain
[128:47] not only do they make their own shirts
[128:49] physically they dye their own shirts
[128:51] with their own
[128:52] solutions their own dyes that are made
[128:54] here they
[128:55] work with the local farmers that process
[128:57] and make their own cotton
[128:59] they make me work in the sweatshop yeah
[129:00] they make jack work and they make the
[129:02] shirts for
[129:03] a dollar an hour everything is
[129:05] controlled made in america and that's
[129:07] what these shirts will be made on
[129:09] um 100 and that's going to be the next
[129:12] batch and that's going to be the final
[129:14] thing going forward and there might be
[129:16] like a different logo on one versus
[129:18] the other but right now because they
[129:19] don't sell a lot it's five thousand
[129:22] dollars for one batch
[129:23] so if i want to do two colors it's 10
[129:25] grand and that's putting up a lot of
[129:26] money for some
[129:27] for merch that i don't care about so
[129:28] eventually if they sell a lot then i'll
[129:31] do different designs but
[129:32] we're gonna have two american made
[129:34] shirts initially with one logo the other
[129:35] one will be
[129:36] uh a different color that's it joel
[129:38] jason just quickly claims
[129:40] it's gonna be a new language or 300
[129:42] reveal tomorrow
[129:43] i knew nothing about it and i was just a
[129:45] toyota headquarters so
[129:46] okay maybe is it not america i have no
[129:48] idea is it
[129:50] it might be outside of the u.s so have
[129:52] no opinion on it because i don't know
[129:53] anything about the car well
[129:54] we'll sit back and watch like you and
[129:56] then pretend like we knew it happened
[129:57] because you told us yeah yeah we knew
[129:59] about that
[130:00] uh m4 comp imola red six-speed for five
[130:04] dollars
[130:05] what do you think of the 440 grand coupe
[130:07] and the m550i
[130:08] the 440 grand coupe is hideous looking
[130:13] you you don't even care about the bmws
[130:15] you like the m550i you're like man this
[130:16] car is great i can listen to my bowers
[130:19] the 550 though is more like what you
[130:21] expect the 5 series to be
[130:23] i feel like that's just it's a luxury
[130:25] car it's got a v8 it rides good it's
[130:28] fast
[130:29] everything works in it and it doesn't
[130:31] like stand out like you're a douche
[130:33] i just feel like it's a classic 5 series
[130:35] that's why i like it it's not trying to
[130:36] pretend to be anything else

[131:38] bucks billy we really really appreciate
[131:40] it
[131:41] i'm sorry guys we can't stay on longer
[131:42] to answer more questions
[131:44] we've already gone over by almost an
[131:46] hour and we have to go film the shop
[131:48] segment on the tlx type s
[131:49] that video comes out friday yeah so
[131:51] we're gonna do that i'm going to answer
[131:53] one last question
[131:54] uh this is from a viewer uh k brewster
[131:59] and the question is what is the fr
[132:02] rating of this couch this is your couch
[132:05] so this couch just to explain this to
[132:07] close this out
[132:09] originally when i was in my early 20s i
[132:11] had an innovative idea for a business
[132:14] and this is this didn't pan out but it's
[132:18] something i still want to do i want a
[132:20] patent for an fr rating for
[132:22] furniture like couches explain what you
[132:25] fr
[132:26] i know what it is okay it's a flatulence
[132:29] rating
[132:29] and this rating gets sent to us as a
[132:32] certifying body
[132:33] we test and certify every type of
[132:36] seeding surface
[132:37] and then you will pay a licensing fee to
[132:39] get a number placed
[132:40] underneath the couch so somebody could
[132:43] learn before they potentially have a
[132:45] flatulence event
[132:46] how well it absorbs well 10 is just like
[132:50] a block of wood like literally the most
[132:53] sonic
[132:53] and there's a whole bunch of like we
[132:55] have like 10 acoustical engineers that
[132:57] are gonna
[132:57] to kind of work on the the different
[132:59] criteria one is like
[133:01] completely absorb absorbed you're safe
[133:03] to do anything including like a
[133:05] full-blown like
[133:07] liquid event a 10 is like you know
[133:09] you're you're skating on thin ice
[133:11] but if you're like in a store or in a
[133:14] restaurant you're like oh i don't
[133:15] know what to do
[133:16] you could drop your phone and then just
[133:18] poke your head under the
[133:20] under the chair to take a look at what
[133:22] the number is before you make a
[133:23] conversation mistake
[133:25] so that's that's what this new company
[133:28] that i'm trying to spin up is so the
[133:29] question
[133:30] is what is this couch and i would i we
[133:32] haven't had the engineers on this one
[133:34] but i would say it's like an eight or a
[133:36] nine because there's just so much
[133:38] like i don't know the material that's in
[133:40] here it's probably
[133:41] well this couch is also from bob's yeah
[133:44] it's from bob's
[133:45] so you know god knows what's in here but
[133:48] it's pretty absorptive
[133:50] the absorption rate is excessive so now
[133:53] you know about the fr rating and i think
[133:55] one of the few videos i brought up the
[133:57] fr rating for the seats on the car
[133:59] was the um
[134:03] pt cruiser the pt cruiser got an fr
[134:07] rating so check that out
[134:09] well with that said thank you all for
[134:10] watching and we'll talk to you guys soon
[134:15] thanks
