AI Summary

The video is a live stream by Brian (Mr. Regular) of Regular Car Reviews. He interacts with viewers, answers automotive advice questions, discusses car culture, and promotes a giveaway for a Starlet GT Turbo. The stream is a casual, conversational hangout rather than a structured presentation.

[01:01]
Potential is wasted energy

Brian quotes his old marching band teacher, interpreting it as advice not to get comfortable doing nothing.

[10:37]
Starlet GT Turbo giveaway

The giveaway ends Monday. To enter, visit fanofm.com/regularcars and buy limited edition merch.

[17:22]
Financial advice on car ownership

For a viewer with a car loan, Brian advises keeping the car and paying it off. If owned outright, consider a private sale to maximize value.

[26:04]
Why modern cars have poor rear visibility

Strong A, B, and C pillars are required for rollover safety, plus higher seat bolsters to keep occupants in front of airbags.

[28:54]
Starlet vs SRT4 performance

Brian claims the Starlet GT Turbo is faster than a Gen 4 SRT4 Neon due to better power-to-weight ratio.

[47:12]
How to value a used car

Check actual sold prices on Cars & Bids, not asking prices. Condition, mileage, and modifications heavily affect value.

[82:00]
0–60 time of the Starlet GT Turbo

Standard is about 8.2 seconds; some claim 6.9–7.2 seconds. The tuned example may be faster.

[92:11]
Lifting a Corolla hurts fuel economy

Brian uses a friend’s lifted Yaris as an example: fuel economy dropped from high 30s to mid-20s MPG.

The stream is a low-key community hangout where Brian shares car advice, promotes his channel's giveaway, and reflects on the challenges of content creation and maintaining a healthy channel.

[00:01] [music]

[00:13] [music]

[00:35] Hello.

[00:37] [music]

[00:42] What's up? Just starting the stream.

[00:43] Thank you for jumping in the second I

[00:45] started to jump in.

[00:49] Tell me more about how potential is

[00:51] wasted energy, says uh Polo7767.

[00:56] That's something u my old marching band

[00:59] teacher used to say.

[01:01] Potential is wasted energy.

[01:05] I guess what he was trying to say was uh

[01:12] not to rest on your ass

[01:20] and not to get, you know, comfortable

[01:26] doing u

[01:32] kind of like not to get comfortable

[01:33] doing nothing. Does that make sense?

[01:40] So,

[01:42] I should have something on the stream

[01:44] other stream other than the fruit of

[01:46] your arrow,

[01:48] but

[01:53] I have to keep that going. I have to

[01:55] keep the fruit of your arrow going to

[01:56] have something going on in the

[01:58] background.

[02:00] Um, I'm going to be skiing on Tuesday,

[02:05] uh, with my dad at a place where I used

[02:09] to work.

[02:12] And, uh, I'm going to make sure I have

[02:15] the chat going in the background. Uh,

[02:17] uh, Fire Gaming says, "Uh, hey Brian,

[02:19] what is a good upgrade from a first

[02:22] from a first gen XB?" So, you're talking

[02:26] about a Scion XB.

[02:30] Scan KB. Uh, Scion XB.

[02:34] So, one of these things.

[02:39] Um,

[02:41] 2,00 uh 2,000 miles currently. 5-speed.

[02:45] Oh, you have this in manual. That's

[02:47] nice. Nothing really wrong with it. Just

[02:49] need something bigger. Uh, so you need

[02:52] something bigger than a four-door hatch.

[02:56] Um,

[03:01] my first suggestion would be a uh

[03:05] Gen One toy

[03:08] Yoda Highlander.

[03:10] I mean, that's

[03:14] that's definitely larger, isn't it?

[03:21] I mean, [music] that's essentially your

[03:23] Scion XB, just a little bit bigger. Um,

[03:27] then you get your all-wheel drive. Um,

[03:29] you can still put 87 octane into it.

[03:33] If you want to go like the SUV route, I

[03:36] think that's a good answer. Um,

[03:39] love the channel and the vintage house.

[03:41] Vintage house. What are you talking

[03:42] about? This is a Frutera. The stuff that

[03:44] sends me into a fugue state. Uh, good

[03:47] morning from Ireland. Love to see you

[03:49] all review a Mark1 Fiat Panda. We never

[03:52] got those in a Fiat Panda 4x4. We never

[03:55] got those in the United States, did we?

[03:58] 7. So, it's uh almost 8:00 at night. So,

[04:04] what is it in Ireland right now? Is it 4

[04:06] in the morning?

[04:09] I think we're what 7 hours behind you.

[04:11] Is that it? Uh, appreciate you and the

[04:14] content. Been following you for a long

[04:15] time. Have a good weekend. Thank you.

[04:17] Um,

[04:19] uh, Guy Beth Aabidia says, "I have a 5.7

[04:23] Hemi that just crossed 100,000 miles

[04:25] free. Pray for my lifters." You know,

[04:26] I'll pray for him. That's that's for

[04:28] sure, sir. Uh, Michael said, "Honda

[04:31] Element in reference to a good

[04:32] replacement." I like that idea, too. I

[04:35] mean, it's it's not that much bigger,

[04:37] especially on the inside, cuz it's only

[04:39] a four-seater, not a 5-seater. But sure,

[04:41] I mean, the thing about Honda Elements

[04:44] is that you will always buy one that's

[04:46] very high mileage because

[04:48] everybody likes them. No one really

[04:50] sells those things. Uh, if you need more

[04:53] cargo space, just get a Matrix. Well,

[04:56] that that is true. I I love the Matrix.

[05:00] If I ever had to replace my Kia with

[05:02] something really quick, it's probably

[05:03] what I'd drive.

[05:05] Um,

[05:09] for sure thought about that. Four-wheel

[05:10] drive would be good, but the mileage,

[05:12] uh, miles per gallon, I'd sure misses a

[05:14] Fire Gem J Gaming. You are right. That

[05:18] would not be fantastic.

[05:22] Um, I like your um,

[05:25] Gondola Gondola grips. 1674 says, I

[05:29] liked your Kia Barago video, but I think

[05:31] that you undersold their reliability,

[05:33] especially with the V8. It's essentially

[05:34] a 4ERunner. No, it's not for

[05:36] [clears throat] half the price. No, it

[05:38] it that that is not angry period Toyota

[05:41] build quality. Um that that that was

[05:44] that car's second engine. It is not a

[05:47] 4Runner by any stretch of the

[05:48] imagination. Mine's about to hit 40,000

[05:50] mi. Okay. Answer that question. When

[05:53] you're when you say mine's about to hit

[05:56] 40,000 mi, are you referring to you have

[05:58] a Kia Brago or you have a 4ERunner? I

[06:01] mean, tell me that a Kia Brago is still

[06:03] going to be reliable after 240,000 mi

[06:06] and then compare that to a 4Runner.

[06:09] Uh, Ivan Myrtle 5160 just says, "Gob."

[06:14] Yes go.

[06:17] You heard it everybody. Woo. I wonder if

[06:21] there's a way to simultaneously cast

[06:25] um from

[06:27] OBS to two different sources

[06:30] to have this going on Twitch as well.

[06:33] I figure I I should be doing more stuff

[06:35] on Twitch, but

[06:39] um

[06:42] but

[06:44] I don't really have a whole lot of

[06:45] followers on Twitch cuz I don't stream

[06:48] regularly. And when I do stream on

[06:51] YouTube,

[06:53] at least people on YouTube will um

[06:56] will watch.

[06:59] Um, you convinced me uh Killer Pillar

[07:01] 9622 says, "You convinced me to get an

[07:04] MR2 Spider. Hell yeah. I found one. I

[07:08] found one already. 2ZZ swap."

[07:10] Interesting. Been loving it so far.

[07:12] Thank you. Well, thank you for

[07:15] enjoying eclectic cars. Um,

[07:21] uh, uh, Stripe 1674 replied, "I have a

[07:25] Burggo. Most of the mo most of the

[07:27] models on Facebook have been between 100

[07:29] and 200,000 miles since it's before

[07:31] GDI." Well, that does make sense. Well,

[07:33] I take that back then. Uh, Pierton says,

[07:36] "Didn't know you were a bird in social

[07:38] in some social circles I am."

[07:43] Flo says, "What do you think of the

[07:44] Volvo 740 Turbo?

[07:48] The Volvo 740 Turbo.

[07:57] Ah,

[07:58] yeah. I really like these things.

[08:06] The box that rocks.

[08:14] Oh, Paul Newman's 1998 Volvo 740 with

[08:17] the 3.8 L Grand National V6 swap is for

[08:20] sale. So, that seems to be the modus

[08:23] operendi

[08:25] uh for all boxy Volvos is to

[08:29] interesting. Well, they fit it in. Did

[08:32] they have to pound these wheel arches? I

[08:35] like how they made uh their own little

[08:39] turbo heat shield there that says Volvo

[08:41] on it. That's nice. You got your ram air

[08:44] intake there. That's going to get nice

[08:45] and dirty, but you know what can you do

[08:47] when you're

[08:48] futzing it in here.

[08:51] This looks like a big vacuum canister.

[08:54] Your batteries down there. H

[09:00] I I don't know if I ever drove one of

[09:03] these things. Oh, wait. We did drive I

[09:05] think we drove a 740, but it certainly

[09:07] wasn't manual.

[09:09] And I'm also now wondering

[09:14] if the Volvo transmission

[09:17] is handling the Grand National

[09:23] H.

[09:34] Um, the car I learned in how to drive

[09:37] in. Yeah. As a Volvo V70 owner, they're

[09:40] peak. All brick wagons are peak. True.

[09:42] [music] That is. Yeah. Um I uh Shephard

[09:47] Chapel

[09:49] says,

[09:51] "I like my 1995 Durell. You can still

[09:54] get them with low miles for around

[09:55] $1,000 and I've been driving around for

[09:57] 30 years. Never le never left me

[09:59] stranded." And that's cool. Definitely

[10:01] is.

[10:04] Google says you need to plug in for OB.

[10:07] need a plugin for OBS to stream multiple

[10:10] platforms. [music] Okay, cool. Then I

[10:13] will then I will definitely do that.

[10:19] And I could also change remote's

[10:21] expression there.

[10:24] So that'd be neat to just uh stream from

[10:28] here to Twitch.

[10:33] Oh, and by the way, uh since you're all

[10:35] here,

[10:37] the giveaway for this Starlet

[10:40] is ending on Monday. Uh go to fan of

[10:43] them.com/regularcars,

[10:45] buy some limited edition merch, and

[10:46] you're entered to win this Starlet GT

[10:48] Turbo. This is a hilariously It's so

[10:52] much fun to actually have a Toyota that

[10:54] I can do fun stuff with all the time.

[10:58] And I've been driving it like a regular

[10:59] car except uh right there when I when I

[11:02] straight a little bit into that lane.

[11:03] You can see me there driving this thing,

[11:08] you know, or actually was it our

[11:10] volunteer driving at that time?

[11:12] But these if that's me, I'm doing a bad

[11:14] job. And if it's a volunteer, he's doing

[11:16] a great job staying in your lane. When

[11:18] you drive a right-hand drive vehicle,

[11:20] the tendency, and you can see with my

[11:22] mouse, is to

[11:24] drive on the left hand side of the lane

[11:27] because that's where your eyeballs are

[11:28] used to be or used to be looking down.

[11:31] Your eyeballs are used to looking down

[11:34] the left side of the lane,

[11:38] but

[11:42] you getting far away. Oh, this is the

[11:44] good shot right here.

[11:46] Oh, wait. It is me driving it. Yeah,

[11:49] this is the good shot where we got nice

[11:50] and close and I got right uh close up to

[11:54] the camera car [music] and uh I think I

[11:57] smile at the camera car. This thing

[11:59] drives so well. [music] It's ridiculous

[12:01] how how how reliable this thing is and

[12:04] how fun it is. Um I hope whoever wins it

[12:07] loves it as much as I do. And these

[12:10] giveaways are are what's keeping Nick

[12:12] and I employed to be honest. Um YouTube

[12:15] isn't what what it was. Um so we need as

[12:18] many people to enter these giveaways as

[12:20] we can. You're helping us out and then

[12:22] you know someone is going to get very

[12:24] very lucky is going to get very h and

[12:27] happy too. There's me smiling. Um having

[12:32] these fun little cars. I can't thank

[12:34] enough can't say enough nice things

[12:36] about uh uh Burn Ash and uh fan of them

[12:41] for helping me out all these times and

[12:43] helping me do these giveaways. Let me uh

[12:50] change the

[12:55] color here.

[12:57] There we go.

[12:59] Now, you still can't see that.

[13:02] I need a black background

[13:11] there.

[13:17] Um,

[13:19] still a wonderful and underrated little

[13:20] forbanger. Totally was.

[13:24] I've driven an old postal Jeep

[13:26] right-hand drive. It's odd, but you get

[13:27] used to it after a while. No, you get

[13:28] used to it after a week. You just drive

[13:30] it for a week and then it becomes second

[13:31] nature.

[13:33] Has anybody installed a Futamo oil drain

[13:35] valve on this car? No. No. It's just

[13:38] normal underneath.

[13:40] Um, does filming with the DJI Osmo

[13:44] require your target car to be

[13:45] exceptionally close to the camera car?

[13:48] Yes, it does. I've tried using the GoPro

[13:50] Max to avoid needing a cameraman, but

[13:52] past but anything past 10 to 15 ft looks

[13:55] small. It does. It's still a DJI Osmo 3

[13:58] doesn't have the super wide angle that

[14:00] GoPros and other action cams do. Um, but

[14:03] it's still pretty darn wide.

[14:06] The good news is, you know, you can

[14:08] always zoom and crop. We get around that

[14:10] by doing that.

[14:14] Um,

[14:16] I recently bought a 1995 Saturn SW

[14:20] wagon. I think they're very underrated.

[14:25] Saturn SW wagon

[14:35] S SW2.

[14:37] Oh, those. Okay.

[14:41] The one with the flip up headlights or

[14:44] is it the square? God, those things.

[14:47] God, I like that.

[14:53] Thanks for supporting Kelly Blue Book.

[14:56] Turn off your ad blocker.

[14:59] Get rocked.

[15:03] Someone's selling one for $11,000.

[15:06] But again, you know, it is kind of It's

[15:10] not GM slop.

[15:17] Damn.

[15:19] Allow ads on this side. There we go.

[15:26] Yeah, I I enjoy looking at these. When

[15:28] you get inside, you realize everything's

[15:30] super cheap inside these things. Um, but

[15:33] man, people had them. People love the

[15:35] idea of a pointed front, you know? It's

[15:37] I I get it. It is from GM's European

[15:40] division and it's kind of opal based,

[15:42] but uh that was mid9s. It is so perfect.

[15:51] Riding in one of these things

[15:54] felt like

[15:57] getting all your homework done in study

[16:00] hall so there's nothing to do but play

[16:03] video games when you get home. That's

[16:06] what I remember about those things.

[16:12] Um my s sister had a Saturn coupe. Loved

[16:15] the car. Uh, why won't Ford make an

[16:19] affordable Corvette competitor? They

[16:21] have no interest in it. You

[16:25] Ford doesn't have anything to sway

[16:28] Corvette people away from Corvette

[16:29] people, away from Corvettes. Corvettes

[16:32] are institutions like Harley-Davidson's.

[16:36] So, they're not going to waste R&D.

[16:39] Yeah, they had the Ford GT, but that was

[16:41] a supercar. And yes, they have the

[16:44] Shelby GT500

[16:46] that meant to sort of say, "Hey, this

[16:48] makes more power than a Corvette." Sure,

[16:49] with its supercharger, but

[16:52] but uh no, they're just it's it's a

[16:55] market they're not going to waste their

[16:57] time

[16:58] putting

[17:00] putting money into. And speaking of

[17:02] money, Alex asks, "Finance Birdman, do

[17:05] you recommend holding on to my 2019

[17:07] Alantra GT Inline DCT with under 50,000

[17:11] mi or trading up to a Honda Civic hybrid

[17:13] for

[17:16] I mean [sighs]

[17:22] the next question I have is that are are

[17:25] you trading it?" The next question is,

[17:27] do you owe money on that Alantra? Is

[17:29] that a lease? Do you have a car loan? If

[17:32] the answer is you have a car loan,

[17:36] the answer is no. You just keep driving

[17:38] that Elantre

[17:40] and you pay that off. You just keep

[17:43] saving money and you pay that off. If

[17:45] you own that Elantre GT endline

[17:49] outright, that is your car. You don't

[17:51] owe any money on it.

[17:54] Then

[17:56] sell it privately if you want. price it,

[18:00] you know,

[18:02] $2,000 less of what any dealership

[18:04] around you is selling on a Nline 4

[18:08] and then buy then sure buy your Honda

[18:12] Civic Hybrid. You're going to make more

[18:14] money in a private sale than than you

[18:15] will trading at a dealership.

[18:18] Uh Steven Haggle says, "Your bird is

[18:21] looking at my coffee a bit too hard." Is

[18:23] it?

[18:26] What's remote doing? He's just standing

[18:28] there.

[18:29] That's really it.

[18:35] Um,

[18:37] I don't really see a Civic hybrid as an

[18:39] upgrade from a GTN line. I mean, the GTN

[18:42] line is faster. Honda Civic is, you

[18:44] know, better made, but you know, that's

[18:46] a true economy car and what you have is

[18:48] is a is a sports sedan. The two

[18:51] different types of vehicles. Alex says

[18:53] you own the car. Well, then, you know,

[18:55] great. private sale and

[19:01] buy a used Honda Civic Hybrid, I guess.

[19:05] Nathan said, "I leased I leased a Honda

[19:07] Prologue 2 days after your video came

[19:09] out. I wanted to try whatever EV I could

[19:11] get. You mentioned great lease deals and

[19:12] got a great lease deal." There you go.

[19:13] Well, thanks, man. And thank you, Alex.

[19:21] Oh, got nothing in the background right

[19:22] now.

[19:26] There we go.

[19:34] Uh, there's nothing on the docket

[19:36] lately. Um,

[19:38] I have been working on a video of a

[19:41] Lexus

[19:43] CT 2000H,

[19:47] one of these John's.

[19:50] And

[19:54] It is a European car in the It is a

[19:57] Honda Prius. Honda Prius. What am I

[20:00] talking about? Toyota Prius

[20:03] with a variation of like a matrix body.

[20:07] And it's no faster than a Prius. And in

[20:10] the United States, there was no

[20:12] performance options. They they made an

[20:13] F-S Sport, but all it was was a

[20:17] appearance package, nothing else.

[20:20] But I was positive on it. Um, just

[20:23] because it's different. It's not another

[20:26] blob shape. It's an interesting little

[20:28] hatch.

[20:34] Um, a lot less ugly than the Prius.

[20:36] Yeah, the new Prius obviously is an

[20:38] improvement. Haven't got my hands on a

[20:39] new Prius yet.

[20:44] Yuzi Razer says, "Hey ho, I wanted to

[20:46] ask you something special.

[20:49] Uh, do you know ask you something

[20:51] special? Do you know special bikes like

[20:52] Rickman, Steelely, Eggs? I don't know

[20:54] what those names mean. Uh, wanted to ask

[20:57] if those stuff is a thing over in the

[20:59] United States. Uh, when you say bikes,

[21:01] do you mean bicycles? Stuff that you

[21:03] pedal with your feet? I don't know too

[21:05] much about bicycles. I have a trek.

[21:09] I ride around a little bit. That's it.

[21:12] Uh, the one Kia. There's a familiar

[21:14] face. Uh, greetings finance bird. What

[21:16] are your thoughts on using money market

[21:17] accounts as a place to store liquid cash

[21:20] for emergencies? No, I don't think

[21:21] that's a good idea. A money market

[21:23] account

[21:25] is just a place where your money sits

[21:27] before you buy stock with it. That's it.

[21:31] I mean,

[21:34] you can get your money out of stock in

[21:37] about two weeks. That check can arrive

[21:40] from the brokerage house. So if whatever

[21:44] emergency that you have you you can wait

[21:47] 2 weeks like for instance a hospital

[21:50] bill. You don't have to pay the hospital

[21:52] bill right away. You can just say I have

[21:54] to sell stock and I'll pay it and it's

[21:56] like whatever. That's really it. No, you

[21:59] would you would put that in like a um

[22:03] you would put that in

[22:07] in like Vanguard V SP. This this thing

[22:11] never steered me wrong.

[22:13] Um, this particular ETF.

[22:24] Come on. Where's my table?

[22:26] 10 years. Look at that. That's Vanguard

[22:29] ETF,

[22:32] man.

[22:34] It's beautiful, isn't it?

[22:37] Just keeps going up and up and up.

[22:40] You can't even really find where the

[22:42] Where's the pandemic? Where is it?

[22:45] There it is. Little dip. There it goes

[22:48] back up.

[22:51] That's it. You want to store money in a

[22:53] safe place? VO Vanguard S&P 500.

[22:59] It is rock steady.

[23:07] Look at remote surprise. Yep.

[23:17] Um,

[23:21] basically superbikes before superbikes

[23:23] existed from the 70s to the 80s. Most

[23:25] Oh, the bioda. Okay, so we're talking

[23:27] about motorcycles. Well then, well, you

[23:30] have my answer. I didn't really know too

[23:32] much about them. So, so that is your

[23:35] answer.

[23:38] Um, small pants says, "Do you consider

[23:40] restoods that significantly change the

[23:43] shape of the body as sinful?"

[23:46] Um,

[23:48] what I consider sin uh sinful are all

[23:51] the Well, but I don't care about pre-war

[23:54] stuff, like all the ZZ top um you know,

[23:58] 40s cars that were shaved, chopped,

[24:01] dumped, rad, whatever. Those cars don't

[24:03] resonate with me, so I don't really

[24:05] care.

[24:06] I have a 1985

[24:08] Oh, okay. A 123 that I got on Craigslist

[24:11] that I plan to hammer entire new front

[24:13] end for. 85W123.

[24:31] Yeah.

[24:34] Yeah.

[24:37] hammer on a new front end onto that.

[24:41] Well, [clears throat]

[24:44] I don't know how you're going to improve

[24:46] on those looks.

[24:48] A front end from what?

[24:55] Yeah, honestly, I do think in the case

[24:58] of a W123, the last of this generation

[25:03] >> [snorts]

[25:08] >> Maybe like the only thing I could I

[25:10] could legitimately see as like not

[25:12] sacrilegious is shaving off the the hood

[25:15] ornament and just putting a little plate

[25:16] there. Nice tasteful little machine

[25:18] piece.

[25:20] But other than that, no, you don't touch

[25:22] that. Look at the Look at the beauty of

[25:24] those wheels and the center caps and

[25:27] just the slightest bit of chrome in the

[25:29] strip. It's a thing of beauty. Yeah.

[25:32] Don't Don't touch that. Unless your

[25:34] thing is just a rat rod, like an

[25:36] absolute cheap dumped

[25:40] [Β __Β ] example of one of these things,

[25:42] then yeah, sure. I guess do whatever you

[25:44] want. But if it looks okay, then no, you

[25:47] wouldn't touch that.

[25:50] Uh

[25:52] uh Storm Crash says, "Why is rear

[25:54] visibility so bad in modern sports

[25:56] sedans?" Well, that's easy. Uh because

[25:59] cars

[26:04] You know, let's use this the

[26:08] vitamin D little

[26:14] imagine this is a actually I'm not going

[26:15] to turn that upside down. My white out.

[26:18] The idea is

[26:21] let me look at my monitor here for a

[26:23] second. The idea is if this is a car,

[26:29] the idea is you're supposed to flip the

[26:32] car upside down and have it land on its

[26:35] roof and not collapse.

[26:38] To do that, you have to have very strong

[26:39] A, B, and C pillars.

[26:42] So you have big strong A pillars and

[26:44] then whatever B is sort of okay and then

[26:46] C are huge. So there's more car in a car

[26:49] now. You cars today have like the

[26:52] equivalent of roll cages from like

[26:54] racing roll cages from the 80s. So

[26:59] you have less less windows and also your

[27:01] seat bolsters are higher. They have to

[27:03] keep you stop frowning remote. They they

[27:06] have to keep you in front of that

[27:08] airbag. And now we can talk about, you

[27:11] know, freedom and blah blah blah, but

[27:15] ultimately it's a good thing. Like you

[27:17] you can survive crashes and in and in in

[27:20] a modern car that you can't do obviously

[27:23] like with this W123 from 1985.

[27:29] That's why it's it's it's safety and the

[27:31] compromises somewhere.

[27:34] Good question though.

[27:38] Uh, small pants says, "Nah, it was a

[27:40] wreck when I got it, so the W123 was a

[27:42] wreck when you got it." Okay, so there's

[27:44] your answer. Do whatever you want with

[27:46] it. Uh, should should I import a

[27:49] Chrysler Neon to Australia? No.

[27:54] So, if you're going to get one from the

[27:55] US, there won't be a Chrysler Neon. They

[27:58] never made one here. It would either be

[28:00] a Plymouth or it'll be a Dodge.

[28:03] I mean, same thing, but different

[28:04] badges. Um,

[28:07] the only neon

[28:10] the only neons I think that are are

[28:12] worthy of uh

[28:16] um

[28:17] importing from the US would be the Gen

[28:22] One Neon Highline,

[28:24] uh the Gen 1 Neon ACR,

[28:28] and the Gen 2 SRT4.

[28:31] Now, with the Gen 4 SRT4, you have a lot

[28:34] of Mitsubishi parts in there. Everybody

[28:36] likes the Gen 4 SRT4.

[28:41] Uh, it's it makes good power. It makes

[28:44] great noise. Um, but to be honest, and

[28:48] I'm not just let's talk about the

[28:50] giveaway, this thing's faster.

[28:54] A Gen 4 SRT4 Neon

[28:58] is a heavy car and it's a big car. It

[29:02] would have a hard time running away from

[29:05] a Starllet Turbo. So, if you're in

[29:07] Australia, you know about these old

[29:08] cars. Oh, that's a good shot looking

[29:10] right back at the Acura there. There we

[29:14] go.

[29:15] There you go. it would have a hard time

[29:18] pulling away from a Starlet Turbo, you

[29:21] know, power to weight and everything.

[29:27] And by the way, for people watching in

[29:28] the US, you can win this Starllet

[29:31] GT Turbo. Go to fanm.com/regularcars,

[29:35] buy some limited edition merch. The

[29:37] giveaway ends on Monday. Uh, please

[29:39] enter the giveaway. You're helping RCR

[29:41] continue and someone's going to win that

[29:43] fun car. Thank you so much.

[29:47] Uh

[29:49] Cham Stranding uh 1382 says, "I've been

[29:52] daily driving an MR2 for 9 years now,

[29:55] and I'm ready to get something

[29:56] practical. Can't deny that." Uh I'm

[29:59] ready to get uh see what By the way, is

[30:02] my mic too loud? Is it Is it just fine?

[30:05] Is it good?

[30:07] And I'm ready to get something

[30:08] practical. I'm wanting to get something

[30:09] new or gently used hatchback. Thoughts

[30:11] on what to get? Thinking Mazda 3,

[30:13] Corolla, or Civic? um Honda Fit. That's

[30:17] what you'd want to get. Like you don't

[30:20] want to spend a lot of money and you

[30:21] want something that's fun and you want

[30:30] Yeah.

[30:36] You want something like like these.

[30:41] Does this guy actually show the

[30:42] interior? Uh, it's an automatic. Boo.

[30:46] Now, you want a manual transmission.

[30:48] Second generation Honda Fit.

[30:51] Most of these things are automatic. Or

[30:53] this is a modern one.

[30:57] Is this call for price? $17,000.

[31:03] Wonder when they stopped offering the

[31:05] manual and the fit. But you buy one of

[31:07] these things, they will be they're fun

[31:10] to toss around in a way that your MR2

[31:15] would be as an auto tragic. These things

[31:18] it's a shame most of these things are

[31:19] automatic, but you know, you got to sell

[31:22] them.

[31:24] But fits in and manual transmissions are

[31:26] just a delight. They are so good.

[31:39] Hey, Mr. Regular. I'm looking to get a

[31:41] new car to replace my Money Pit Mini,

[31:43] and I'm looking at a GK Impreza 5MT H.

[31:55] Okay, it's fine. Yeah, good.

[31:59] You get it in manual, you'll have fun

[32:00] with this. Um.

[32:06] Oh, Carvana. Boo.

[32:09] Boo. Boo. Boo.

[32:15] Hey, look. It's one of my videos coming

[32:17] up

[32:23] again with the ads.

[32:26] Hey, there's another one on my video.

[32:32] No the

[32:35] you will have fun with this generation

[32:37] GK GT um with this generation of Subaru.

[32:42] As far as other things to look for, like

[32:45] the trouble is when when someone brings

[32:47] Subaru into the mix, it's it's hard to

[32:50] dissuade them from it. Um, the manuals

[32:54] are good. The engines people, all the

[32:57] problems are known. You're going to be

[32:59] fine. I mean, we can go back to manual

[33:01] transmission Civics if you want,

[33:06] which I would prefer, honestly. But if

[33:08] if you know driving through snow matters

[33:11] to you and being an absolute hoon dick

[33:13] in the snow, then yeah,

[33:19] let's go down on the rabbit hole on the

[33:21] father and son who own Carvana. Look, I

[33:23] dumped that stock the second I broke

[33:24] even on it. So, uh, Yuzi Razer says,

[33:27] "Sorry if I spam. I'm just not sure if

[33:29] my messages come through."

[33:31] Uh, Uzi Razer, I don't see you there.

[33:35] Typically super chats well super chats

[33:37] always get priority over everything else

[33:39] and it also saves it. So um

[33:44] razor I'm looking up for your question

[33:50] and that's one thing about streaming

[33:52] sometimes razor says ah now seems like

[33:55] my messages don't come through huh well

[33:58] Mr. Yuzi Razer certainly wants my

[34:00] attention and now you have it. The only

[34:02] thing worse than those old mercs are the

[34:04] pen and wheels or BBS's.

[34:08] Okay. Was that your question? You're

[34:09] talking about wheels. How could you?

[34:12] Fluffy the Griffin says, "Look at this

[34:14] quality bird." Well, thank you.

[34:17] Um,

[34:21] right.

[34:23] Hey, Mr. Regular, would you please

[34:24] review a Super Cub? And by Super Cub, I

[34:28] think you mean

[34:32] You mean one of these these guys? The

[34:34] Honda Super Cub. I would love to.

[34:37] I would love to have one of these

[34:39] things.

[34:41] Um

[34:46] I think it only works in God. It's such

[34:49] good such a good looking bike.

[34:52] If only they were a little faster.

[34:55] That's the thing.

[34:57] I mean, in the city, this is for a city.

[35:02] I couldn't get to Philly on this. And

[35:04] why would I want to get to Philly on

[35:06] this? Because I would just take the

[35:08] train.

[35:12] And where would you park this in a city?

[35:14] You You'd still these things are so

[35:16] light, they're easy to steal.

[35:19] This is a this is a weird thing right

[35:20] now with like uh small displacement

[35:23] motorcycles because

[35:25] scooters are almost as good,

[35:28] right? And you don't have to insure them

[35:30] or anything. I'm sure legislation is

[35:32] going to come in for them at some point.

[35:38] Gosh, I would I I would love to tool

[35:40] around on one of these things. Just a

[35:43] little bit.

[35:47] Every summer I get the bike itch, but

[35:49] I'm up to four cars again, so it sucks.

[35:54] How about an 81 Super Cub?

[35:58] You know, an older one. H

[36:01] back roads, highways, maybe interstates.

[36:02] Yeah. Could this thing go 70? Probably

[36:04] not. No.

[36:06] 68. Uh, you can take the engine right

[36:08] off the frame in 10 minutes. Well,

[36:10] that's cool.

[36:12] You like the Trail 17 Trail 125? It's

[36:15] just based on that with knobbyby wheels.

[36:17] Yeah.

[36:19] Hey, Mr. Regular, did you miss your MR2?

[36:21] I miss mine. Not anymore cuz I bought it

[36:24] back. It's downstairs in my garage. Uh,

[36:27] we're going to make a video how I bought

[36:28] it back so I own it again.

[36:32] You'd have to take Ridge Pike. Hey,

[36:34] someone from Philly. You have to take

[36:35] Ridge Pike all the way to the city.

[36:37] Something like that. Yeah. And if you're

[36:38] going to like go that way into the city,

[36:40] why not just get on a bicycle and ride

[36:43] the Skooko River Trail?

[36:46] Yeah, I have a fourc car problem right

[36:48] now. Yeah. Now, one of them is a

[36:50] giveaway car. So, which is what [snorts]

[36:54] giveaway car is it? Well, I'm glad you

[36:55] asked. The giveaway car is this. The

[36:59] Starlet GT Turbo. Go to

[37:13] edition merch and someone's going to win

[37:15] this this JDM 5-speed manual

[37:19] transmission turbo frontwheel drive.

[37:22] Look at the size of that intercooler on

[37:23] that thing. It's a blast. I drive it

[37:26] every day. I love this thing. Oh, good.

[37:29] Just in time for the money shot. Here I

[37:31] come.

[37:32] Look how f Look how good that [music]

[37:34] thing looks.

[37:37] You You see the intercooler is way down

[37:39] here. So that little hood scoop up there

[37:41] is doing nothing but just letting just

[37:43] letting air out of the engine. Now these

[37:46] little things had intercoolers similar

[37:48] to Subarus where they sit on top of the

[37:50] engine, but this has the intercooler has

[37:52] been relocated to the front of the car.

[37:55] So this thing that the the turbocharge

[37:58] in this is always perfect.

[38:02] The only thing I wouldn't have done to

[38:03] this car I even don't I don't hate the

[38:05] wheels. I don't hate the coilovers. The

[38:07] only thing I wouldn't have done is the

[38:08] bride racing seat. Racing seats. I mean,

[38:12] the seats that this car came with is

[38:13] look at that smile. I am so happy

[38:15] driving this thing. The only thing I

[38:17] wouldn't have done is then did did the

[38:19] racing seats.

[38:23] So, enter the giveaway.

[38:24] Fanofm.com/regularcars.

[38:27] And to prove to you it's real, I'm going

[38:29] to pull up the website.

[38:37] fan a them slash regular.

[38:46] No, wait. I just loaded my own website.

[38:49] Fan aam.com.

[38:54] There I am.

[38:57] There. There it is. It ends on Monday.

[39:02] So you pick some merchandise.

[39:05] We have mugs. We got other stuff. And

[39:10] the thing so like it's small but it's

[39:12] mean looking. Like this was okay. So the

[39:14] last year of this generation

[39:17] of the Starlet GT Turbo, you look up

[39:20] other ones, they had solid lights. And

[39:22] these aren't covers. Like I took these

[39:24] covers off and looked underneath. No,

[39:26] it's two it's two individual headlights

[39:29] that are in the same housing. So, there

[39:31] is glass in between these little frames

[39:34] for the headlights, but taking the

[39:36] frames off wouldn't do anything because

[39:40] look, this is 1995 and they're already

[39:42] running projectors. Your projectors are

[39:44] on your outside and then the uh

[39:46] reflectors on the inside are high beams

[39:48] and these are your Euro style yellow fog

[39:51] lights. Um

[39:53] the and also because it's a JDM car, you

[39:56] can run these fog lights independent of

[39:58] your headlights. You can as long as the

[39:59] parking lights are on like like these.

[40:01] Oh, also these have city glow lights.

[40:04] So, there are little tiny secondary

[40:07] light bulbs inside the housings that

[40:09] make the housings glow if you just turn

[40:12] on your parking lights. So, you can run

[40:14] those and your fog lights. Now, you

[40:17] still you're not going to see very far,

[40:19] but that's just for like dusk and

[40:21] something where you really don't need,

[40:22] you know, headlights going down the

[40:25] road. You can see in this little picture

[40:27] right here, those are where the mounting

[40:29] points would have been for the tiny

[40:31] little intercooler.

[40:35] So, fan of them.com/regularcars.

[40:39] It's easy. It's just one click. Any one

[40:42] of these right here, and you're entered

[40:45] to win, and you really help out this

[40:47] channel doing this. Thank you.

[40:51] Oh, and why why is remote sad? Be happy.

[40:53] There you go.

[41:01] Oh, a super chat came in. No question,

[41:03] just ample sum. Thank you for the

[41:05] dollar. Appreciate it.

[41:07] Uh, Pocky GT says, "If I win the

[41:09] Starlet, do I get to pick it up from you

[41:11] directly or does it have to be

[41:13] delivered? I'm just in Connecticut and

[41:15] the ride would be well worth it." Um,

[41:17] that would be a question for Bernach,

[41:19] like when uh fanofthem.com gets in

[41:22] contact with you. And by the way, they

[41:24] they don't email you. Um it'll it'll be

[41:27] a phone call because some people automat

[41:30] some people already like people try to

[41:32] scam and and and say you won and you

[41:35] didn't, you know. You know, scammers are

[41:38] they're they're quick to try to

[41:42] Yeah. And they're never going to ask you

[41:44] for any money. Whether you want to pick

[41:46] it up or not, I don't know. Uh,

[41:48] typically a car carrier just shows up at

[41:51] my house and it's delivered to you. Um,

[41:56] you know, Connecticut to Philly, it's a

[41:59] ways. So,

[42:01] plus the car is being delivered to you

[42:03] for free. [music] So, why why would you

[42:05] just not take that? I need to take off

[42:08] those vent shades.

[42:11] Vent shades?

[42:13] You mean in the back? Oh, the smokers.

[42:16] Yeah, you could take those off if you

[42:18] want. There's just clips that hold them

[42:19] on. It is kind of neat.

[42:24] Having those

[42:27] eraser says, "Finally, my question came

[42:29] through."

[42:35] Where's Roman? He's at home. We don't

[42:37] live together.

[42:39] Oh, there's Nick says, "I'm at my weekly

[42:42] family dinner." Well, thanks, Nick.

[42:44] [music]

[42:46] Uh, Sombre House says, "It's always nice

[42:47] to have vents in general." Yeah, they

[42:50] are neat. Like in those times in the

[42:52] summer where you just need some fresh

[42:54] air, you can crack them, but it's

[42:56] raining and they keep the rain out.

[42:58] Really, the joke is that so many people

[43:00] in Japan smoke. So, they're just there

[43:04] for cracking the window so you can ash

[43:05] out the window. This car wasn't smoked

[43:08] in. It doesn't have that smoke smell.

[43:21] Um, what are your thoughts on a 2009

[43:23] BMW? Oh, super chat came in. Uh, thank

[43:26] you for your donation. Hey, Mr. Regular.

[43:28] I own a 2013 Ford Focus ST.

[43:36] One of these guys.

[43:40] Yes.

[43:46] How much can I get for it in this

[43:48] market?

[43:49] Well, okay. Here's how I answer that

[43:52] question.

[43:58] This is how you get the upper trim of

[44:00] any.

[44:04] Let's see what sort of auctions have

[44:06] closed right now. All right.

[44:10] How much what was your mileage on it?

[44:14] You have $134,000 miles.

[44:18] Uh

[44:21] well, here's one that sold for $6,000.

[44:25] Here's one that sold for 15.

[44:28] Yours is a 2013. Here's one that sold

[44:31] for 12. One, six-speed manual.

[44:36] How many miles were on this thing?

[44:40] 53,000. Okay, so 53,000

[44:44] gets you 12. And a car like this looks

[44:47] unmodified,

[44:48] which is what you want. That's what gets

[44:50] you your highest price. Modified cars,

[44:52] unless they're like overlanders or

[44:54] something, are not going to make a whole

[44:55] lot of money. Um,

[44:59] here's 10, 8, 15, 7. Notice the modified

[45:04] one doesn't get a lot of money. Here's

[45:05] another modified one. Wait, is that a

[45:08] realist? That's a real list.

[45:10] 14 15 6 5 You're hovering somewhere

[45:15] around the

[45:18] Why'd that one sell for 20?

[45:23] You're looking somewhere around the

[45:25] $8,000 to $10,000 range.

[45:29] There's your answer. And it's a good

[45:31] question. And I always go to cars and

[45:32] bids like these are ones that actually

[45:35] sold, not what someone's trying to get

[45:37] for [music] it. These are these are real

[45:40] world numbers. And then you can look at

[45:42] the condition of these cars and compare

[45:44] it to yours.

[45:48] Mhm.

[45:50] Race red, clean title, no accidents.

[45:53] Well, that's the bare minimum to sell on

[45:55] one of these things. I bought it back in

[45:58] 15. I bought it back. I bought it for

[46:00] 15. No one gives a [Β __Β ] Mark, listen to

[46:03] me. No one cares what you bought it for.

[46:06] W This is what I bought it for and this

[46:09] is what I want to get out of it. Grow

[46:10] up. I'm just being mean to you to be

[46:12] funny, but no one cares what you bought

[46:14] it for and what the mileage was. They

[46:16] care about what what car the condition

[46:18] is in now. And now it's a car that's tw

[46:24] 13 to

[46:26] All right. It's 10.

[46:29] It's 13 years old with 134,000 miles.

[46:34] Okay, let's let's be realistic

[46:38] about what that gets you.

[46:43] There's a

[46:46] What's the mileage on this? 129. Okay,

[46:49] so this is about 130,000 miles. Clean

[46:51] title, manual six-speed. Looks like

[46:54] that. Maybe you're going to get a little

[46:56] bit more because

[46:59] because yours is red.

[47:02] Be honest. Do your seats look like that?

[47:04] Do your seats have like all the the

[47:06] cracking there on the leather or are

[47:09] they clean? That's why I tell people,

[47:12] buy cars with cloth seats. They hold up

[47:14] better.

[47:16] So, that person got what? Eight. [music]

[47:18] Here's a red one. Uh, extensive

[47:22] modifications. Nine. Here's a an older

[47:25] one. These are modified ones. Sub eight.

[47:28] Eight and sub eight. Here's a 2015.

[47:32] Some modifications in red. Seven.

[47:37] Nine.

[47:39] Uh, red with a different hood. 11.

[47:41] That's your best one. Southern owned.

[47:44] That's another thing. What part of the

[47:45] country you live in?

[47:47] Bid. See, this guy had a reserve price.

[47:49] He didn't get that price. He wanted 18.

[47:52] He got 18,000 wasn't enough for this

[47:55] guy.

[47:56] Dynino tuned to 397 horsepower. Okay, so

[47:59] that thing's probably a terrible to

[48:02] drive. Heavily modified. 14. All right,

[48:05] but these things are outliers cuz they

[48:07] were sold during the pandemic when

[48:08] everybody went crazy. Yeah,

[48:12] I mean 10 seems reasonable

[48:15] for you.

[48:18] Um,

[48:21] 2002 F-150 4.6 5-speed four-wheel drive,

[48:25] 260,000 mi. Opinion. Oh, it's a truck.

[48:32] I mean, the 5-speed manual makes it

[48:34] cool. I mean, I love that. Yeah.

[48:40] I mean, to be honest, this era of Are we

[48:43] going back to Kelly Blue Book again? And

[48:45] they're going to want me to turn off ads

[48:47] images.

[48:55] Want better picture?

[48:58] There's a 4x4. Hey, that's good looking.

[49:01] I like it. And of course, this is the

[49:04] Fords that I grew up with, right?

[49:11] And I think, you know, it has the

[49:12] modular engine. Where's the engine?

[49:22] Buried in there.

[49:25] Well, is it the 46 modular in here?

[49:27] Probably is. Better not be the Triton.

[49:30] If it's a Triton, it sucks. If it's the

[49:32] 46 Oh, 5.4 L Triton. Go [Β __Β ] yourself.

[49:36] Don't care. [music]

[49:38] Yeah, I like your engine better.

[49:45] And thank you for the super chat. I

[49:46] appreciate it. Single cab? No. Long bed

[49:50] with some KC roller bar. Fine. Um, do

[49:54] you use fluid film? No, I don't. I don't

[49:56] use fluid film.

[50:03] This is what I use.

[50:06] P15.

[50:09] Now, you got to get the underside of the

[50:10] car clean. You got to buzz off all your

[50:11] rust and then paint this on. And then

[50:14] you need PR

[50:16] 15 top coat. Then once that you put that

[50:20] on, you put this on. So you put your P

[50:23] you slop your P15 in. And then you put

[50:27] this on on top. So the two together.

[50:31] That's what my 4ERunner that I no longer

[50:34] own. That's that's how that was rust

[50:36] proofed. And I'm if I can find somebody

[50:39] with a lift, I'm going to do it to my

[50:40] Oh, he's remote sat again. There you go.

[50:42] Um

[50:44] I'm going to do that to my

[50:49] uh crazy taxi as well. And if there's

[50:51] any left over, the MR2 gets it cuz the

[50:52] MR2 is already like coated underneath.

[50:55] Mr. Regular. Waw wa for sheets. Waw wa

[50:57] for food. Sheets for getting gas.

[51:01] But I live in the Philly area now so

[51:02] it's all Wawa. No more sheets.

[51:07] The two valve Triton was actually good,

[51:08] says WHO. Oh, before they put in like

[51:10] cam phases and stuff like that.

[51:15] Uh, Z4 says, "We do it the same way at

[51:18] the shop." GGS. I guess you're referring

[51:21] to um

[51:26] PR15.

[51:34] Those Ford trucks had the ugliest

[51:36] dashboards. I mean, they they were hold

[51:38] overs from the '9s. What do you want?

[51:41] They're just they they were still stuck

[51:43] in the very appropriate Fruger Arrow era

[51:46] era where there has no there's no angles

[51:49] anywhere. It's just blobs.

[52:06] Same dash as windchar. Uh, how do uh GI

[52:09] Joe car says, "How do I submit a car for

[52:11] review?"

[52:13] That's easy.

[52:15] Uh, you can just send an email to me,

[52:18] which is

[52:21] regular [email protected]

[52:26] and I will put that in text.

[52:30] email.

[52:35] We had a form and now we don't have it

[52:37] anymore.

[52:51] And you can't see that, can you?

[53:05] Yeah, right here.

[53:08] Send an email to this address and um

[53:12] give me your year, make model of the car

[53:14] in the subject headline.

[53:17] It helps if you're willing to drive to

[53:19] Philly or you live in the tri-state

[53:21] area. That helps. Um, I have no travel

[53:25] plans as of this time, but you can

[53:27] submit it to uh that email. Bing bong

[53:29] bing bong bing bong bing bong bing bong

[53:31] bing bong bing bing bong bing bong bong.

[53:35] Thank you for asking. Um, you didn't

[53:38] review an old El Dorado. Nope. Never

[53:40] did. Never did an El Dorado. Quick trip

[53:43] for the win. Yeah, I like their cookies.

[53:45] I like Quick Trip cookies.

[53:48] Uh, Frug Arrow. Uh, Lullabi. Oh, thank

[53:51] you for the super chat. Uh, says Somber

[53:53] Hambo. If I wanted the public to just

[53:56] see how silly it is to daily this a 2,2

[54:00] E transit,

[54:03] do I drag it

[54:05] 130? Let's have a look at this.

[54:13] Just every sort of like uh

[54:17] delivery truck.

[54:20] one of these guys like people mover.

[54:23] Airport shuttle van. If Tony's in the

[54:26] chat. Airport shuttle van. There it is.

[54:29] I still like Tony's impression of every

[54:32] airport shuttle driver. If I wanted the

[54:34] public to just see how silly it is to

[54:36] daily. Like what are you doing dailying

[54:38] an airport shuttle van? Do I drag it to

[54:41] 1,300 miles to Anthrocon 100 miles of

[54:44] charge? Oh, you have the electric

[54:48] version of this.

[54:52] Oh,

[54:54] no.

[54:57] Yeah.

[54:59] I remember seeing someone at the

[55:00] Plymouth Meeting Mall having to wait for

[55:04] a place to charge one of these things

[55:07] up.

[55:10] Something like with only a 100 miles of

[55:13] R. That sucks cuz these things it's

[55:16] like, "Oh, just drive it around the

[55:17] city." Nah, but you're driving all day.

[55:21] Vans like these go like this would only

[55:24] make sense at an airport.

[55:30] Yeah. 100 miles of range. This sucks.

[55:34] I get it. And very limited.

[55:38] Do you seriously own one of these

[55:39] things?

[55:42] Um,

[55:48] uh, Kilo says, "Yo, RCR stream tonight.

[55:51] Got kebab for dinner and just finished

[55:52] crash repairs on my [Β __Β ] box. Shaping up

[55:54] to be a good night." Well, thank you so

[55:55] much. I I need to go get another drink.

[55:58] EV Transit van AC would be funny as hero

[56:00] sounds miserable. Yeah.

[56:03] Has anyone from Slate followed up to set

[56:05] you up with a prototype or early

[56:06] production car to drive? No, that I mean

[56:08] production is still who knows when

[56:10] they're going to make it. So, no.

[56:15] Uh, this music is so Fruterero. Yeah, it

[56:18] is Fruterero.

[56:21] It's the Fruterero playlist.

[56:24] Uh, Mr. Regular, why do you think

[56:25] American car companies suck at

[56:27] manufacturing cars to compare to Japan

[56:30] and China? Well, I've never driven a

[56:32] Chinese vehicle. Um, we'll see in the

[56:35] next in our lifetime if they're going to

[56:38] hold up

[56:39] if they ever get to the United States

[56:41] and and we'll see if, you know, they can

[56:43] go 30 years like a Japanese car can.

[56:48] Um, I don't think American manufacturers

[56:53] are interested in competing with Honda,

[56:56] Subaru, and um, Toyota. I think American

[57:00] manufacturers like this Ford van um

[57:04] they're not competing at that price.

[57:07] They have to underell.

[57:09] So why don't you just build better cars?

[57:11] cuz I don't know if

[57:14] like the market

[57:19] expectations

[57:25] American manufacturers could

[57:29] make a car as good as a as a Toyota.

[57:32] They could implement the same sort of

[57:35] quality controls.

[57:37] But would Americans care? Like the

[57:39] people who buy Chevys and Fords,

[57:43] would they be willing to pay the price

[57:46] difference for a Ford? I don't I don't

[57:49] know. I don't think so.

[57:52] Um,

[57:55] uh, US manufacturing sucks right now

[57:57] because we're kind of in the Malays era

[57:59] 2.0. I agree very much. No changes

[58:02] beyond make it bigger, flashier, and the

[58:05] most of them if we can, but as cheap as

[58:07] possible. Yeah.

[58:09] Um,

[58:14] okay. I need to get uh I need to re-up

[58:17] my beverage. Uh, I'll be right back.

[59:37] Okay.

[1:02:21] Okay, I'm back.

[1:02:23] I wonder if the microphone heard you

[1:02:26] heard me eating when I was uh eating

[1:02:30] leftovers in the uh in the kitchen.

[1:02:43] Testing the mic. Testing the mic. Can

[1:02:45] you hear me? Okay. Testing my mic.

[1:02:48] Testing my mic. Can you hear me? Okay.

[1:02:50] You did. You did hear me eating. Okay.

[1:02:59] Uh, Kilo UK says, "I'm on garage Santo.

[1:03:02] Hey, for relaxing times, make it some

[1:03:04] Tori times. Dreading running the ship to

[1:03:06] alignment rack next week." That's cool.

[1:03:08] I do have a bottle of Santoi down at the

[1:03:11] bar, but I'm not touching it right now.

[1:03:14] Mic works. Okay, sounds good. When you

[1:03:17] come to Germany, you want my to ride my

[1:03:19] Kawasaki? Yes, I looking forward to the

[1:03:25] the day I can u

[1:03:29] come to Germany.

[1:03:32] I think to be honest uh

[1:03:35] was that a fart or your pet duck? I

[1:03:38] don't know. You heard everything. You

[1:03:40] heard every slurp.

[1:03:50] realistically

[1:03:52] like the next big trip and this isn't

[1:03:54] really going to happen until like 20

[1:03:57] 2028

[1:03:59] um when finally we have a change of

[1:04:01] administration.

[1:04:03] I'll return to uh

[1:04:07] uh Australia, but it will be a solo

[1:04:10] trip.

[1:04:12] And I want to stay for a month and hang

[1:04:15] out with people. And of course, I want

[1:04:17] to go to uh furry down under which is on

[1:04:22] the Gold Coast somewhere

[1:04:27] because uh my experience of Australia

[1:04:29] was not this.

[1:04:31] It was

[1:04:36] It was Brisbane,

[1:04:39] which I guess is a version of like

[1:04:42] Portland. I guess that sort of vibe.

[1:04:48] What people tell me about the Gold Coast

[1:04:51] is that it's their Miami.

[1:04:55] Certainly has that vibe.

[1:04:58] the skyscrapers right on the uh right on

[1:05:00] the beach there.

[1:05:06] Whereas uh Brisbane, which was where we

[1:05:08] were in Australia, way down or what do I

[1:05:13] I keep saying Brisbane, [Β __Β ] it's

[1:05:14] Melbourne. Uh was down here

[1:05:18] and we did it in November.

[1:05:23] So, they're beginning of summer

[1:05:26] and we didn't go to the beach or

[1:05:27] anything like that. It was still kind of

[1:05:28] cold.

[1:05:42] Um, Portland with real beaches sound bar

[1:05:45] sounds like a bargain. Yeah. Um,

[1:05:49] garbage time. Yeah, I as I recall

[1:05:52] garbage timer are in uh Adelaide

[1:05:58] way over here which we thought about

[1:06:00] trying to make in the trip but that's

[1:06:03] like a 9h hour drive or something like

[1:06:05] that and a 2hour flight going there and

[1:06:08] back. We were only in Australia for a

[1:06:12] week and a half and like two of those

[1:06:15] days were filming. One of those days was

[1:06:17] the was the uh

[1:06:20] um

[1:06:25] was the

[1:06:30] was the meat. It wasn't long enough.

[1:06:42] Um, Australia is like a cross between

[1:06:46] California and Europe. I didn't get that

[1:06:49] Europe feel. I mean, I did get it with

[1:06:51] the size of their car parks. That that

[1:06:54] was very slow. That was very small. It

[1:06:56] was hard to find a place to have an RCR

[1:06:58] meet. Um,

[1:07:00] no. Australia is the most with the

[1:07:03] exception of Canada, but Canada is just,

[1:07:06] you know, it's you guys. It's just up

[1:07:08] there. Like I don't call Canada a

[1:07:12] foreign country

[1:07:16] in the same way as

[1:07:19] Australians wouldn't wouldn't really

[1:07:20] call New Zealand a foreign country. New

[1:07:23] Zealand to me felt like a foreign

[1:07:25] country. That felt different.

[1:07:28] Um, totally different vibe. Um,

[1:07:34] uh, Austral Melbourne just felt like,

[1:07:38] and I've used this line before, it just

[1:07:40] felt like America with all the edges

[1:07:43] rounded down.

[1:07:45] It was a nice place to just, and we went

[1:07:47] there to just avoid the election. We

[1:07:50] mailed in our ballots and we're like,

[1:07:51] we're going the opposite end of the

[1:07:54] planet. And it was great. It was great

[1:07:56] for me. It's just all right. The orange

[1:08:00] man is back. Whatever.

[1:08:03] We're in Australia right now. It doesn't

[1:08:04] doesn't matter. I don't care. Yeah.

[1:08:11] Um Whoops.

[1:08:18] I'm going to be taking a trip to

[1:08:19] Harrisburg soon and stopping in

[1:08:21] Kutztown. Any stops you recommend? What

[1:08:23] are you going for? Motoramama. It was

[1:08:25] going uh going on right now.

[1:08:30] Um Charles Guam is in Harrisburg right

[1:08:34] now, but I got stuff I've said yes to

[1:08:37] and it's like Harrisburg to Philly. It's

[1:08:39] like uh [sighs and gasps]

[1:08:41] it's like uh

[1:08:44] either I go down to King of Prussia and

[1:08:46] go over I go from here

[1:08:50] over 422 to Reading all the way there to

[1:08:54] Harris.

[1:09:03] So, uh, you want to go to Kutztown.

[1:09:08] Ring baloney once, ring baloney twice.

[1:09:10] We're from Kutztown. Ain't that nice?

[1:09:13] So,

[1:09:17] um,

[1:09:20] Kutztown doesn't really have spots.

[1:09:24] It's it's it's a college town. That's

[1:09:25] that's what it is.

[1:09:28] There's a university.

[1:09:30] Um,

[1:09:32] you can go see the Keith Herring statue,

[1:09:34] I guess, in the park.

[1:09:37] It's uh, is it over here? No. Where's

[1:09:41] the Keith Herring stat? Oh, there it is.

[1:09:44] Cuz he's Keith Keith Herring lived in

[1:09:46] Kutztown for a little bit. There's the

[1:09:47] Keith Keith Herring statue in Kutztown.

[1:09:51] That's something.

[1:09:53] Um,

[1:09:58] is there a place to eat?

[1:10:00] Um,

[1:10:05] I mean, there's the center of town in

[1:10:07] Kutztown. There's a tavern. It's our

[1:10:11] fanciest restaurant. Ooh, you can go

[1:10:14] across the street right there.

[1:10:17] Ktown pub.

[1:10:20] Oh, they're calling it a tap house now.

[1:10:22] No, it's the [Β __Β ] pub, you know. Get

[1:10:24] a cheese steak. I guess this was the

[1:10:27] nice middle of the road bar to drink at

[1:10:29] at college. We ended up there a lot. The

[1:10:32] tavern that was where Whoops.

[1:10:37] The tavern is where you bring your

[1:10:38] parents.

[1:10:40] Excuse me. Tavern was where you bring

[1:10:42] your parents.

[1:10:45] And then

[1:10:47] I never went into the doughnut shop. It

[1:10:51] was the Frying Dutchman. Oh, now it's

[1:10:53] something else. All right. Just another

[1:10:55] bakery. The vape shop.

[1:10:59] It's Ktown is just this main drag.

[1:11:02] That's it. It uh bagel bar is nice.

[1:11:04] That's a nice coffee shop. Nick and I

[1:11:06] wrote some episodes of regular car

[1:11:07] reviews there. You get a bagel, you get

[1:11:09] a coffee. Pops Malt Shop. That's that's

[1:11:13] like cafeteria style food, but it's a

[1:11:15] place to get ice cream in the

[1:11:16] summertime. And I think it closes in the

[1:11:19] winter.

[1:11:20] Uh, China King will never go out of

[1:11:22] business.

[1:11:24] There used to be this place called Spuds

[1:11:26] that did excellent burgers. I guess it's

[1:11:28] an Indian joint now, which is nice, I

[1:11:30] guess. Uh, oh yeah, Betty's. Betty's. Go

[1:11:33] to Betty's. Go here. Go right here. This

[1:11:36] little narrow triangle shop on the

[1:11:38] corner. If you go anywhere, go here.

[1:11:40] Really good. Really good burritos.

[1:11:42] That's all they do is burritos. Get a

[1:11:44] burrito at Betty's.

[1:11:46] Yeah.

[1:11:48] and then I guess walk around campus.

[1:11:52] But it's it's just a university. That's

[1:11:55] it.

[1:11:57] Happy memories here for me though.

[1:12:05] Um, how likely is it for you to go visit

[1:12:08] Europe? Likely, but I don't know when.

[1:12:13] Me going to Europe. Uh,

[1:12:17] what I want to do most,

[1:12:21] and this can really be combined into the

[1:12:23] same trip.

[1:12:26] Um,

[1:12:28] I want to go driving in Germany and I

[1:12:29] want to go skiing in Austria. That's

[1:12:32] what I want to do.

[1:12:36] Don't think that's too much.

[1:12:40] Where's Vienna?

[1:12:47] Is it on the border? Oh, it's way over

[1:12:50] there. Okay. So, all the skiing is on

[1:12:52] the east.

[1:12:54] So, I would love to just go skiing

[1:12:58] somewhere in Austria.

[1:13:02] That's what I'd like.

[1:13:04] Look at that.

[1:13:06] I would very much enjoy this.

[1:13:16] Look at that. Going down that.

[1:13:20] We don't have this in the United States.

[1:13:22] Not these kind of mountains.

[1:13:26] That's a bucket list for me. Skiing in

[1:13:29] Austria.

[1:13:31] I mean, I'd need to have meet someone

[1:13:33] there who could translate cuz I mean, I

[1:13:35] get it. Germany, Austria, there's

[1:13:37] probably there people who speak English,

[1:13:39] but uh

[1:13:42] you know I I'd like to have someone to

[1:13:43] at least help me out. God, that is

[1:13:45] beautiful.

[1:13:49] Um

[1:13:51] did you see that Sniders of of Berlin?

[1:13:53] No, Sniders. I thought it was Sniders of

[1:13:56] Hanover,

[1:13:58] but no, the pretzel thing. Um Mr.

[1:14:01] Regular, what made you major in English?

[1:14:03] Because I'm not a very good artist. I

[1:14:05] wanted to go to Kutztown to be a comic

[1:14:07] book artist of all things. And I'm like,

[1:14:09] well, let's be honest, you're not a very

[1:14:11] good artist. Um, what else are you good

[1:14:13] at in school? I was good at English and

[1:14:15] professional or English and creative

[1:14:18] writing. Oh, there you go. There is a

[1:14:20] there's a major if there ever was one.

[1:14:22] English. It was done and during

[1:14:24] orientation. Just another form to film

[1:14:26] out.

[1:14:28] Tony Airlines says, "Come with me on a

[1:14:30] JFK to BER flight." What What is BER

[1:14:33] airport? B E R.

[1:14:37] Oh Berlin.

[1:14:41] Berlin. Brandenburgg.

[1:14:46] I would like that.

[1:14:49] I would like Berlin.

[1:14:55] That would be fun.

[1:15:01] The thing is that

[1:15:06] Where's the airport?

[1:15:08] Is that it?

[1:15:10] Is that it? No, it's a old airport.

[1:15:16] There it is. Okay. So, that's a ways

[1:15:18] from the city.

[1:15:22] Nice way down there. Where do they Tony?

[1:15:26] Where do they stick you for the airport?

[1:15:28] Do they do they get you do they send you

[1:15:32] downtown?

[1:15:37] Dark matter. What is dark matter?

[1:15:42] Large scale. Oh, it's an art museum.

[1:15:48] You know, if you asked me what a Berlin

[1:15:50] art museum looked like,

[1:15:53] this is what I would picture.

[1:15:57] Yes.

[1:16:07] When does my passport expire?

[1:16:16] You can party in Berlin for sure. Uh

[1:16:19] Tony says, "We lost BER to Airbus last

[1:16:22] year, but we restart service there on

[1:16:23] the 767 for the summer." Neat. Someone

[1:16:26] says, "Use racer says come to

[1:16:28] Frankfurt." All right, so there are RC

[1:16:30] people in Berlin somewhere. Yes, we

[1:16:33] stayed downtown right near the former

[1:16:34] wall. Damn,

[1:16:40] I remember some German tourists were

[1:16:42] laughing at the Amtrak train when I

[1:16:44] traveled from Seattle to Portland.

[1:16:47] Yeah, our trains aren't great.

[1:16:52] Thank you for the reply. It's a TDI in

[1:16:55] Europe. I hope to be fun and practical

[1:16:56] hauler riding MTB and stuff.

[1:19:30] And after that, this Starllet GT is

[1:19:32] gone. There are there are not a whole

[1:19:34] lot of these things in the United

[1:19:36] States. I've only seen one other

[1:19:47] Yeah.

[1:20:03] And make this a better color. There we

[1:20:06] go.

[1:20:12] Um,

[1:20:14] names Golden says, "I consider the

[1:20:15] entries a donation to RCR. So, I'm glad

[1:20:18] to support you all. Just uh just noting

[1:20:22] uh just nothing things that annoy me."

[1:20:25] Just noting things that annoy me. Oh,

[1:20:27] okay. Um,

[1:20:31] can you chat can I chat about you about

[1:20:33] the rabbit hole of my RAU Kawasaki

[1:20:36] somewhere else than here? because that's

[1:20:39] too much traffic here. I don't want to

[1:20:40] distract you too much. Um I mean, yeah,

[1:20:43] DM me on, you know, Instagram is

[1:20:45] probably the best way.

[1:20:49] I doubt many people know what that is.

[1:20:51] Um the one time I was stopped at a pump,

[1:20:54] someone knew it was different, but

[1:20:55] you're like, "What is that?" Cuz it

[1:20:57] doesn't say Starllet GT Turbo. Not that

[1:20:58] that would help. Every time I've owned a

[1:21:00] JDM car, even though it says what it is

[1:21:02] on the back, people still say, "What is

[1:21:03] that? What is the 060 of that Starlet?

[1:21:06] It's quick. Gosh. Uh,

[1:21:10] you have to like not spin the front

[1:21:12] wheels, which is tough.

[1:21:17] You know what? Well, let's figure this

[1:21:19] out.

[1:21:24] And I'm not going to do the AI one. So,

[1:21:28] Starllet GT Turbo.

[1:21:30] Uh, and it's not going to be 0 to 60.

[1:21:33] It's going to be 0 to 100K.

[1:21:39] Oh, there's 60 time. Oh, they say 8.2

[1:21:43] seconds. If you This one's been tuned,

[1:21:45] so it's probably faster than that.

[1:21:53] Someone trapped at 9 seconds at 147.

[1:21:59] All right, they're saying eight uh

[1:22:02] standard. Here's someone saying 6.9

[1:22:04] seconds. Here's another one saying 7.2

[1:22:08] H.

[1:22:15] It'd be neat to try to do a real life

[1:22:17] pull on the highway and see how fast you

[1:22:19] get to uh um 100 km an hour, which is

[1:22:23] really 62 mph.

[1:22:27] and then just uh look at the

[1:22:30] uh the timestamp on the video and that

[1:22:31] would give you a real world answer from

[1:22:33] the time I hit the gas. Um, thank you

[1:22:36] for the $10 donation says uh ISC Isgaan.

[1:22:42] Uh shout out to the Volvo 240. Yeah,

[1:22:45] shout out to the Volvo 240.

[1:22:51] I'll never forget that was one of our

[1:22:52] very first videos we did.

[1:22:59] Yeah, they still are the king. The the

[1:23:01] ultimate in uh

[1:23:10] the ultimate in like brick cars. I love

[1:23:13] them. I I considered almost buying one

[1:23:17] when we did our review, but realizing

[1:23:19] that these these are not

[1:23:23] it's not Japanese stuff from the8s. It

[1:23:25] is Swedish. Um, you are going to be able

[1:23:28] to repair everything, but you will be

[1:23:30] doing a lot of repairing. They're

[1:23:32] reliable. Yeah.

[1:23:35] Um, and remote has the lean going on

[1:23:38] again.

[1:23:42] 9:09 p.m.

[1:23:48] Uh, amend your search with minus AI to

[1:23:52] never get Google shitass III summary.

[1:23:54] Oh, cool. Didn't know you could do that.

[1:23:56] If I win, I'll record the 0 to 60 launch

[1:23:59] just to figure it out. Droid, I like the

[1:24:01] way you think. That's That's definitely

[1:24:04] something to do.

[1:24:07] Let me um

[1:24:17] let me see if I can uh

[1:24:27] let me crop right a little more.

[1:24:34] Yeah, that's good.

[1:24:54] It's kind of rough doing streams like

[1:24:55] this by yourself.

[1:24:58] I suppose it's different when you're

[1:24:59] someone like Chai and you're actually uh

[1:25:02] uh doing work while you're streaming.

[1:25:10] Maybe this music isn't helping, but it

[1:25:12] is later at night. Any new or current

[1:25:14] cars that you like? Any that you would

[1:25:16] actually buy? Well, that's a good

[1:25:17] question. Um what I would like is a

[1:25:23] Yamaha

[1:25:25] SR. I think I talked about this last

[1:25:27] year

[1:25:29] is a Yamaha SR400 motorcycle. They're

[1:25:33] not expensive. They come up for sale on

[1:25:35] like Facebook Marketplace from time to

[1:25:37] time.

[1:25:39] Uh there was one for sale down here in

[1:25:41] Monco County.

[1:25:44] People made videos about these things

[1:25:45] before. It's the bike that Yamaha keeps

[1:25:49] forgetting to stop making cuz it's

[1:25:50] kickstart only. It's kickstart only, but

[1:25:53] it is fuel injection. And it's something

[1:25:55] that I could just roll around like Monco

[1:25:57] County and drive into the city.

[1:26:00] It's one of these bikes I'd buy on a

[1:26:01] whim cuz I don't have a motorcycle

[1:26:03] anymore, but it would have to live in

[1:26:06] like my shed or something like that or

[1:26:08] live under the porch.

[1:26:16] That's the only thing that's been

[1:26:17] catching my eye because I got my MR2

[1:26:19] back. So,

[1:26:21] what are we doing here? And the MR2 is

[1:26:24] almost a motorcycle anyway.

[1:26:27] Um, you own an SR500. Awesome. A nice.

[1:26:33] What's the best car to camp in? I'm I've

[1:26:36] never slept in a car overnight. Wait,

[1:26:38] that's a lie. I slept

[1:26:43] in

[1:26:45] my friend Melanie Remington's

[1:26:48] Chrysler Concord

[1:26:50] one night

[1:26:53] because everybody else was snoring at a

[1:26:55] sleepover. But it was like, you know,

[1:26:57] sleepover at that point. It's just like

[1:26:58] parties and it was summertime. So I just

[1:27:01] went out and just slept in the backseat

[1:27:03] of her car. Left his car unlocked cuz

[1:27:06] that was the biggest, comfiest car that

[1:27:08] any of us had.

[1:27:10] And it was actually not too bad. I think

[1:27:11] I slept with one of their door. I I made

[1:27:14] sure their dome light was off and I just

[1:27:16] opened one door, let my feet hang out

[1:27:19] the rear, hang out the side and remotes

[1:27:22] leaning again and kneeling. Um, that's

[1:27:25] what I did. So, that was the one time I

[1:27:27] slept in a car, but it was at somebody's

[1:27:29] house and in a driveway in the suburbs.

[1:27:31] So, I've never camped in a vehicle. It

[1:27:33] sounds very sketch to me. Are we getting

[1:27:35] a video about the MR2 coming back? Yes.

[1:27:38] Um,

[1:27:40] uh, in fact, I

[1:27:42] emailed the guy. I'm trying to get, uh,

[1:27:44] free retro brightites from Holly

[1:27:46] Performance. They said they would, but

[1:27:49] they haven't delivered them yet. I want

[1:27:50] a pair, um, for that, and I also want a

[1:27:53] pair for

[1:27:55] um, uh, my friend Drain to put him in

[1:27:58] his A70 Supra. So, yeah, I am going to

[1:28:00] make a video about that.

[1:28:02] Um,

[1:28:05] uh, emailed about the Etransit to follow

[1:28:08] up. I've owned it for two years and it's

[1:28:10] in the progress of my camper van. I live

[1:28:11] in part-time. Okay. I'm not going to

[1:28:13] open your email on stream, but thank you

[1:28:14] for emailing me. I mean, if you live,

[1:28:17] you know, in the Philly area, then I

[1:28:21] would very much I'm very interested in

[1:28:23] an electric van.

[1:28:25] And there is I think well well I mean

[1:28:29] there is I think um Electrify America

[1:28:33] chargers near where we film near the

[1:28:34] King of Prussia mall. So if you are able

[1:28:38] to come to us there's there's going to

[1:28:40] be public charging right nearby.

[1:28:48] My wife has reoccurring nightmares that

[1:28:50] I will get killed in my MR2. I think

[1:28:53] your your wife will have nightmares no

[1:28:55] matter what car fun car you buy.

[1:28:58] You heteros are just like that. You have

[1:29:01] to negotiate your fun. It's very strange

[1:29:04] to me.

[1:29:06] I own a VL800 Suzuki Intruder. Cool.

[1:29:10] You know, my voice is uh starting to

[1:29:12] wear out a little bit. Um I'm happy that

[1:29:16] you all

[1:29:19] Why did that go away? I'm happy that uh

[1:29:22] all of you are sticking with me

[1:29:26] and

[1:29:31] maybe wrapping this up. Oh no, the super

[1:29:33] chat came in. Ask enough questions for

[1:29:35] free. Uh well, thank you for the super

[1:29:37] chat. I appreciate that. Am I stupid for

[1:29:40] lifting and putting 12.7 in tires on my

[1:29:43] 2017 CorollaLE?

[1:29:46] Um you're you're ruining the car.

[1:29:50] Now, my buddy Ben Wright did lift his uh

[1:29:57] I'm going to show him on Instagram here.

[1:30:10] Uh

[1:30:15] where is he?

[1:30:30] the bed show.

[1:30:32] Uh yeah, this is a friend of mine who

[1:30:35] lifted his I want to find a better

[1:30:38] picture who lifted his

[1:30:42] Yurus.

[1:30:49] No. When When did he I need a picture of

[1:30:51] him where he put the Mickey Thompson's

[1:30:53] on it. Did he have Mickey Thompsons or

[1:30:55] he had something else?

[1:30:58] Where's pictures of

[1:31:04] He works for Pit and Paddock. So,

[1:31:06] there's a lot of stuff here from work.

[1:31:09] Uh

[1:31:12] uh

[1:31:17] Maybe it was just stories and and

[1:31:22] where he had pictures of the Yurus. Huh.

[1:31:27] Well,

[1:31:29] oh well. Well, he lifted his Yurus

[1:31:33] and his M his fuel economy went to [Β __Β ]

[1:31:36] like really bad like mid20s

[1:31:40] down from high 30s. So, you can expect

[1:31:45] the same thing to happen to your

[1:31:48] uh

[1:31:51] your Corolla if you do the same.

[1:32:00] Oh, there it is. Lifted. There's a

[1:32:02] lifted Yurus. That's what a Yurus looks

[1:32:04] like lifted. It does look cool. You get

[1:32:07] terrible mileage.

[1:32:11] Oh, big super chat coming in. Hey, if

[1:32:13] the super chats come in, I'll I'll keep

[1:32:15] uh I'll keep streaming. Maybe I'll get

[1:32:17] myself a beer from the bar downstairs.

[1:32:19] Oh, another super chat.

[1:32:21] Um, absolutely. Huge ties on normal cars

[1:32:23] will never not be funny, I think. Yeah.

[1:32:25] Um, Z Force, thank you for the generous

[1:32:27] donation. I appreciate that. It'll be

[1:32:29] put to good use. I'm not stupid if

[1:32:30] you're so high up I can't see you. Face,

[1:32:32] no case.

[1:32:36] I'm not stupid. If you're so high up I

[1:32:39] can't see you. No face, no case. I'm not

[1:32:41] sure what you're saying. Are you

[1:32:42] referring to lifted trucks?

[1:32:48] Um, no question. Just thanks for 12

[1:32:50] years of geeky joy and laughter. Well, I

[1:32:52] appreciate that. Well, if you're doing

[1:32:54] super chats, I'm going to keep I'll keep

[1:32:57] doing this

[1:32:58] because it helps out the show.

[1:33:01] But I will go grab a beer from the bar

[1:33:04] and I'll be right back.

[1:33:07] Let me put an away message here.

[1:34:50] What?

[1:35:33] I think these are Tony's beers from the

[1:35:35] last party we had.

[1:35:38] This is Trogue's Blizzard Hops.

[1:35:43] I haven't had a beer really since I

[1:35:45] started my diet.

[1:35:49] Or I think I had a beer at like the

[1:35:50] Super Bowl party. I had Justin Super

[1:35:53] Bowl party.

[1:35:55] Different Justin.

[1:36:03] Um,

[1:36:05] small super chat. Thank you. Peers

[1:36:08] doesn't have a question. Just thank you

[1:36:09] for the $5. I appreciate that.

[1:36:12] Having this channel still be kicking

[1:36:13] around after a decade is really a

[1:36:15] blessing. Well, thank you. That means a

[1:36:16] lot that we're able to keep this silly

[1:36:18] show going.

[1:36:22] RCR is something that's been has been a

[1:36:24] bright spot that when I went through my

[1:36:26] divorce. Thanks, RCR. Well, thank you.

[1:36:29] Thank you so much. It's a classic

[1:36:31] channel as at this point. Yeah. And

[1:36:33] we're still here. Haven't really changed

[1:36:36] a whole lot.

[1:36:38] Hey, Tony says he's got Troganator. Love

[1:36:41] Troganator.

[1:36:42] Thank you, Tony. And I think were were

[1:36:44] these your beers that you brought? The

[1:36:45] Blizzard hops for the the uh the longest

[1:36:48] night party.

[1:36:51] Our next party's coming up.

[1:36:54] You may miss it, though. I still don't

[1:36:56] know if I'm going to have it on the 13th

[1:36:57] or the 14th. A sushi party that's coming

[1:37:00] up in two weeks.

[1:37:02] RCR mukbang

[1:37:06] probably. Yeah.

[1:37:10] There's still like some jinglings left

[1:37:12] and I think there's one like winter ale

[1:37:14] and then that's it for the beer. We got

[1:37:16] plenty of liquor though. Might have to

[1:37:19] give a Miller High Life. The ch the

[1:37:21] champagne of beers. I think some people

[1:37:22] from the party did bring Miller High

[1:37:24] Life.

[1:37:28] Man, I uh I weighed myself this morning

[1:37:30] at the gym. 171.4.

[1:37:34] My goal of 1699 is in sight. Of course,

[1:37:37] drinking a beer isn't going to help, is

[1:37:39] it?

[1:37:50] Oh, we got another super chat.

[1:37:52] I was subbing at a school today. Oh,

[1:37:54] substitute teacher. Very cool. And I

[1:37:57] overheard a conversation between faculty

[1:37:58] about how they usually have good luck

[1:38:00] with GM products. I mean, if they're

[1:38:02] talking about trucks, fine. you know,

[1:38:04] blah blah blah cam phasers.

[1:38:08] They're not completely wrong. I mean, if

[1:38:11] I had to buy a truck and I had to buy a

[1:38:13] domestic, it would be a General Motors

[1:38:15] product.

[1:38:17] They're usually good about their

[1:38:18] recalls. I I I wouldn't buy any Ford

[1:38:21] right now.

[1:38:24] I used to love when PT Cruisers would

[1:38:26] come in for service just for a change.

[1:38:28] That's neat.

[1:38:30] You [clears throat] get to take off all

[1:38:31] that plastic to get to the battery.

[1:38:37] out of all the channels, out of all the

[1:38:44] for those of you who don't know, uh this
