You Can Never Win | Power Broker LiveStream

[00:04] hello

[00:05] these people asked for it they got it

[00:07] they definitely did i'm just making sure

[00:09] our ever lovable chin face is ready yes

[00:12] and the other thing is we need to do

[00:13] make sure that uh everybody needs to

[00:15] sign sound off that our audio is within

[00:19] specifications can they can you lovely

[00:21] people hear us oh look at that they can

[00:24] wow there's one person again okay

[00:27] he said yes good i'm going to check in

[00:29] with chris or face

[00:32] and you can you can see what chin face

[00:34] looks like in our escalade v video

[00:37] that's right if you want to know what

[00:38] chris looks like

[00:40] watch the escalade v video and then he's

[00:41] also going to be in another cadillac

[00:43] video is this guy just only yeah he only

[00:45] likes gm's well he's he actually was

[00:47] designed by gm's ai division he's our

[00:49] new uh gm

[00:51] bot

[00:52] and uh it's not technically gm because

[00:54] we could get sued for saying that he's

[00:56] actually designed by gm but some after

[00:58] hours engineers that have worked on who

[01:00] also like nursing homes

[01:02] yep

[01:03] um

[01:04] all right so what do you want to talk

[01:05] about well so today's live stream is

[01:08] going to be treated like a traditional q

[01:10] a of course okay uh because people like

[01:12] that but i also want to bring up some

[01:14] topics in between

[01:16] so this can feel more like a podcast

[01:18] that it's actually starting to turn into

[01:20] where we talk to you about nothing for

[01:23] four hours in this case three hours

[01:25] because we are going to do a

[01:27] hard cut off at 10 pm central central

[01:29] time yes uh so cdt isn't it technically

[01:33] no it's cst right now and then it goes

[01:34] to cdt and the next time change it's

[01:36] very confusing perfect well so much for

[01:38] that engineering degree anyway all right

[01:40] nobody cares about time zones uh the

[01:43] what was the thing i was gonna tell you

[01:45] about that uh oh yes dj shrimp scampi

[01:48] couldn't be here today he had to pull a

[01:50] double at red lobster this week

[01:52] i mean nobody wants to work and i don't

[01:54] get it the cheddar biscuits are and you

[01:58] stood me up for a admiral's

[02:00] feast instead of going to the track with

[02:02] me where you could spend some time with

[02:03] a pro driver you were just like brit

[02:06] britt's got too much testosterone for me

[02:08] i got i gotta cool down with some

[02:10] lobster

[02:11] yeah this guy's like oh you want to

[02:12] drive a gr86 on the track i'm like yeah

[02:14] i think i'll just rather go to red

[02:16] lobster

[02:18] um so let's get into before we start

[02:20] that let's talk about some car stuff

[02:23] okay um

[02:24] because that's what people uh enjoy

[02:27] and uh so we got i got a whole list here

[02:30] oh wow

[02:31] i got a lot to talk about

[02:33] we did our comparison test which we

[02:36] somewhat talked about uh with the all

[02:38] the affordable poverty cars and one of

[02:41] the big questions was why do you didn't

[02:42] include mazda 3

[02:44] hatch

[02:45] and that's something that we are going

[02:47] to cover in

[02:49] the next video comparison that we're

[02:51] doing we have a couple comparisons

[02:52] coming that you guys uh clearly seem to

[02:55] like we're doing

[02:57] like every everyone in the world is

[02:58] doing this comparison test but it's uh

[03:00] supra

[03:02] and z

[03:03] with gr86 thrown in there to show you

[03:05] whether or not a modified gr86 can keep

[03:08] up

[03:09] with two cars

[03:11] with real tires we're putting both the

[03:13] supra and the z on real tires yeah and

[03:16] we're not going to talk about that but

[03:17] we're trying to neutralize some of this

[03:18] yeah and you already know that the gr86

[03:20] is going to be slower but i mean it it's

[03:23] just a show really between jack

[03:25] myself and brit casey who obviously is a

[03:28] professional driver we're going to show

[03:30] that and kind of what you expect and i

[03:32] think some of these comparisons like

[03:34] people ask well what about the lap time

[03:36] board and

[03:38] to be completely fair nobody cares about

[03:40] lab times especially on a track nobody's

[03:42] ever driven on there's no real benchmark

[03:45] of to saying okay this car's fast on

[03:46] this track and

[03:48] truth is that somebody could be fast on

[03:50] this track and then the car could be

[03:51] faster on another track that's more of a

[03:52] club circuit the other thing that we

[03:54] found when we did our testing we had the

[03:55] s2000 gr86 and i can't remember i think

[03:58] the elantra and out that day it was

[04:00] really cold it was cold and windy and it

[04:03] was the first time that i'm like holy

[04:05] these cars

[04:06] it wasn't just a little bit fast it was

[04:08] noticeably faster and the pavement

[04:09] wasn't rubbered in on the other tracks

[04:11] so we're losing a lot of grip so this is

[04:13] the point when you see lap times you can

[04:15] almost take them as a grain of salt

[04:17] unless you have somebody that is taking

[04:19] like 20 cars at once taking them out the

[04:22] same day like within the same hour where

[04:24] the sun is if the you know all that crap

[04:26] that's that's the only way lap times are

[04:27] typically accurate and i don't i used to

[04:30] put a lot more weight on that and now i

[04:31] put a far less weight on because it's

[04:34] more about how the car feels

[04:36] what the car is doing and what it's not

[04:38] doing that's important and i think

[04:39] that's going to be more of our

[04:41] focus going forward the mazda3 thing so

[04:44] watch your original video on the mazda3

[04:46] all-wheel drive turbo

[04:48] the car is not a hot hatchback i don't

[04:51] care what anyone says it has a torsion

[04:52] being rear end when you talk to the

[04:54] mazda engineers it was designed as a

[04:57] faux luxury car not once did they

[04:59] mention golf r gti

[05:02] i don't really think you launch around

[05:04] you launch ran

[05:05] the lunchroom wasn't even a velociraptor

[05:07] yeah none of those cars were out back

[05:09] then or sorry or even

[05:12] like benched luxury right right yeah so

[05:14] that's that's all one thing we can put

[05:16] it out here which we'll probably talk

[05:17] about in the video but that really

[05:19] changes your your perspective how can

[05:21] you compare it knowing that their car

[05:23] was never designed to be that fun car

[05:26] anymore yeah it's it's fast

[05:28] it's quick it's supposed to be like that

[05:30] everyday driver with refinement a little

[05:32] bit of enjoyment to drive um but you

[05:34] know what i'll counter that and say when

[05:36] you look at the integra of the civics

[05:38] and all these affordable cars they've

[05:39] become almost to the point where they're

[05:42] all over refined too i mean they're

[05:43] really refined compared to like the old

[05:45] boxes we used to love we're gonna

[05:47] be doing a video

[05:48] with the crx yes like two crx's and i

[05:52] told jack i'm like when we get this crx

[05:54] race car on track

[05:56] i'm almost i i would put money on it

[05:58] that it'll be the best car you've ever

[06:00] driven on that's like the formula cars

[06:02] yeah outside of like you know real race

[06:03] cars of course but street cars turn race

[06:06] car um and it's because those cars of

[06:08] the past were just so connected they

[06:11] they talked to you in every way that

[06:12] they possibly can

[06:14] um the byproduct was that car this was a

[06:16] best-case scenario yeah scott that

[06:18] that's true yeah yeah okay scott

[06:21] building probably

[06:22] one of the most dominant uh crx's in

[06:25] existence and racing in existence in

[06:27] racing here in the us yeah but the car

[06:29] was notoriously good but i'm just saying

[06:31] like that's a great example of the like

[06:33] long long ago approach of like having

[06:36] connectivity and that car was actually

[06:37] refined back in the day too that was

[06:39] like a big step forward but now

[06:42] we've we've gone to these new cars where

[06:44] they have to do

[06:45] like they have literally have to do

[06:47] everything and you're like you're

[06:48] driving like man this is great to drive

[06:50] me like god am i bored driving

[06:51] this thing you know so any anyway it's

[06:54] really hard

[06:55] um it's really hard to explain this to

[06:58] to people watching where they can kind

[07:00] of get a good taste for what these

[07:02] things are really like um and lap times

[07:04] again back to that point lap times do

[07:05] not tell you anything about any of that

[07:08] like literally well that's the problem

[07:10] with the internet though right people

[07:12] only care about bench racing like you

[07:14] have the gt3 rs that's coming out yeah

[07:16] that we will not be at the european

[07:17] launch but we will be at the u.s

[07:19] re-launch or whatever that that car uh

[07:22] whatever they're doing with that car

[07:23] here in the u.s but all anyone seems to

[07:25] care about with that vehicle is

[07:27] how it does around the ring what ring

[07:29] time it isn't yes for a car like that

[07:31] that's important but

[07:32] what i'm more interested in finding on

[07:34] this how does it sound and how does it

[07:36] improve on the regular gt3 and that's

[07:39] again that's not what anyone's going to

[07:40] be talking about right we're just going

[07:41] to talk about the lap time the same

[07:42] thing goes for the c806 when they do

[07:45] release a ring time on that that's all

[07:46] people are going to hear yep that that's

[07:48] true but i mean that's how else do

[07:49] normal like if you don't get to drive

[07:51] all these cars

[07:53] what's the easiest way you can tell a

[07:55] car is better than another one right

[07:57] from like a performance car perspective

[07:58] that's why like car and driver and all

[08:00] those were so dominant they focused on

[08:03] all these like static objective

[08:05] measurements

[08:06] um

[08:07] and that's how people got used to

[08:09] judging them and now like some of the

[08:11] trend is like what cars faster than a

[08:13] drag race which again is

[08:15] i guess there's some merit in it in a

[08:17] straight line you just read the spec

[08:18] sheet to find out pretty pretty much and

[08:20] that's why i said like we're going to do

[08:21] the gr 86 versus like a supra it's like

[08:23] there's no doubt you don't even have to

[08:26] do you know you don't even have to read

[08:27] anything to know that

[08:29] the the super is going to annihilate

[08:31] that car in any condition the question

[08:33] is is it in and that was the s2000

[08:35] argument like that's 2000 maybe slower

[08:38] but you're feeling a lot driving it so

[08:40] even though it's not as fast you're

[08:42] feeling like you're driving it you feel

[08:43] like it's faster because it's so

[08:45] engaging and that's that's where you

[08:47] can't judge cars uh object or

[08:50] subjectively and objectively anymore

[08:52] through any type of measured testing

[08:54] because those lines are no they're so

[08:56] blurred now

[08:57] the other comparison test we will be

[08:59] doing speaking of integra is integra

[09:01] mazda3 i feel like that's a pretty apt

[09:03] one they're both japanese pseudo luxury

[09:05] cars and we get to actually talk about

[09:08] our like our our ungarnished thoughts

[09:10] now that time has passed yeah integra

[09:12] and revisit the mazda3 they are very

[09:14] similarly priced but the one thing i

[09:16] will bring up is mazda 3 turbo all-wheel

[09:18] drive which is about 35 000 as a hatch

[09:21] or 36 does not come as a manual right

[09:24] yeah which this is another topic all

[09:26] together like what is it with the car

[09:27] manufacturers

[09:29] releasing enthusiast cars

[09:31] and putting manuals on only the top trim

[09:33] like is this like did did you get an

[09:35] explanation as to why so with ilx if i

[09:38] understand correctly i'm sure the

[09:39] comments will

[09:40] correct me if i'm wrong

[09:42] um the ilx the prior gen only the

[09:45] poverty trim level the cheapest model

[09:47] got the manual and people were upset so

[09:49] they're like all right you guys

[09:50] we'll we'll put it only on the expensive

[09:52] one i just think from an oem's

[09:54] perspective they can't win

[09:56] and i think they're just assuming that

[09:58] someone who wants to buy an integra

[10:00] who's already an enthusiast will just

[10:02] cough up the extra money for the manual

[10:04] i don't necessarily agree with it but

[10:06] i'm sure from a product planning

[10:07] perspective

[10:08] no one's gonna buy that car anyway once

[10:10] the original enthusiasts are done buying

[10:12] the manual batches they'll all go cvt

[10:14] i'm sure the manufacturing costs of

[10:16] having multiple trim levels with

[10:19] multiple different transmissions they

[10:20] just don't want to deal with and

[10:21] probably well didn't right now is

[10:23] different than historically right so you

[10:24] have a finite amount of production

[10:26] capacity that you can actually build

[10:28] cars and where

[10:30] is the margin right like where are they

[10:31] gonna make the most money of course uh

[10:34] on putting that manual transmission

[10:35] somewhere and how many can they actually

[10:37] build so dealerships are probably like

[10:39] just get us cars so like okay well we

[10:41] can crap out x amount of cars but trying

[10:43] to put a manual transmission in every

[10:45] trim level at this point

[10:47] is very very difficult to do and i

[10:49] understand that with the z2 they had

[10:51] limited capacity gr86 that video you

[10:54] just did about the long-term thing with

[10:56] the gre6 there there's comments on there

[10:58] like in europe we haven't had we haven't

[10:59] even had one delivery of that car yet

[11:02] that's how far behind they are so i

[11:03] think they're being very cautious about

[11:06] not over spreading yeah like trying to

[11:08] over uh well you know what i mean

[11:11] i mean that's the reality of some of

[11:12] these cars that they are putting manual

[11:14] gearboxes in like the gr supra you can

[11:16] forget about trying to get one

[11:18] of those cars yeah i'm sure it's the

[11:19] first year it'll be impossible yeah and

[11:21] that's the disappointment of this i

[11:22] think and you see

[11:24] doing the video stuff and you get to see

[11:26] comments you get to talk to people about

[11:28] it just like enthusiasm

[11:30] has gotten so

[11:32] um

[11:33] the enthusiasm for cars is like decaying

[11:35] it's like a cancer because

[11:38] price obviously is one huge one right

[11:40] huge it's just a really ridiculous and

[11:42] then the fact that the you can't get

[11:44] things which really puts a damper on if

[11:47] you're working hard and you want

[11:48] something and you want it like now now

[11:50] is like six months for a regular car

[11:53] that is that's infuriating and it just

[11:55] takes the air out of the room for the

[11:56] whole like enthusiast marketplace and

[11:59] cars in general it's not just enthusiast

[12:00] cars like if i wanted to go buy a rav4

[12:03] like a rav4 hybrid right yeah you can

[12:04] forget about it i mean yeah i mean it's

[12:06] just it sucks

[12:08] and i mean i get it from all sides even

[12:10] from like the uh

[12:12] it's bad for

[12:14] some journalists like us you know we're

[12:16] lucky and that some of the oems will

[12:17] offer us cars or not it not for free but

[12:20] hey you do want to buy one of these even

[12:22] then

[12:22] like the the gr corolla i'm desperately

[12:26] trying to get one to do another

[12:27] long-term series for you guys because i

[12:29] imagine that's a car that people are

[12:30] excited about and i'm genuinely excited

[12:32] to buy one they're like good luck

[12:34] right well and that's the same thing we

[12:36] we have this conversation and i'm in the

[12:38] process

[12:39] uh i don't want to get into the personal

[12:41] side of it but i'm in the process of

[12:42] going to be moving to a new place in the

[12:45] next like three weeks and you're moving

[12:47] as well and i'm like i'm looking at

[12:49] money i'm looking at the numbers for the

[12:50] year and i'm looking at how everything

[12:52] is like

[12:53] you know i mean it's just it's it's the

[12:54] economy and everything and um like

[12:57] gas prices are a great example you know

[12:59] you go from

[13:01] last year to this year and it's like

[13:03] maybe two something a gallon yeah it's

[13:06] over double it's over double and then

[13:08] like uh i just want to go switch over uh

[13:11] utilities for this new place so gas

[13:13] electric

[13:14] um

[13:16] i don't know all the other utility ship

[13:17] but when i got on the phone to switch

[13:18] over gas i'm like just out of curiosity

[13:20] can you tell me the historic prices

[13:22] of previous months she's like well i

[13:24] will tell you all that but i want to

[13:25] precede it by telling you that the cost

[13:28] for gas has doubled from

[13:31] 0.68 therms or whatever the unit is to

[13:34] uh it's just double that like a dollar

[13:36] 36 a term so the gas bill is literally

[13:39] going to go from 200 to 400 to 400 and

[13:42] then the wins are 800 a month

[13:44] just just for that and that's excluding

[13:46] like the expense of everything else so

[13:47] you throw all of that in there and that

[13:50] i round about way of saying this jack

[13:51] wants to get a gr corolla and it's bet

[13:53] people have been asking are you going to

[13:54] get a new civic type r and i told them

[13:56] you should buy one but at the same time

[13:58] it's it's

[13:59] more money and it's not cheap anymore

[14:01] right like talking about a civic si back

[14:03] in the day oh twenty two thousand

[14:05] dollars or twenty four thousand yeah i

[14:06] could i think i can work that into the

[14:08] budget when you're talking about like 45

[14:09] and then when the dealers get a hold of

[14:11] you ten to one that thing is going to be

[14:12] fifty thousand dude that the car is

[14:14] gonna be like 60 grand yeah so it's like

[14:16] you're our and at that point i'm done

[14:17] with it like literally i will not even

[14:19] consider it and go why would you buy

[14:21] that when you can get a super or

[14:22] whatever it's like i if i wanted a civic

[14:24] type bar i can't even get one probably

[14:27] and that's just it man cause that so

[14:29] frustrating well mikey h is asking if

[14:31] you're moving to the villages in florida

[14:33] where you can review golf carts

[14:35] villages that's in lady lake

[14:38] yeah lady lake and uh and actually i

[14:40] love the the great biscuits and gravy

[14:43] and all the nursing home meals that we

[14:45] have there but jack that was one of your

[14:47] least it has nothing to do with obsessed

[14:49] garage that was his least favorite trip

[14:51] you and i have been to a lot of lovely

[14:53] places and also not lovely places as

[14:55] well some parts of california are

[14:56] horrible um

[14:58] that by far is the worst place i've ever

[15:01] spent time is lady lake that is like my

[15:03] version of well okay outside of like

[15:05] you know

[15:06] gary indiana

[15:08] yeah of doing a trip for work that was

[15:10] my least favorite location south boston

[15:12] where tmi was built i enjoyed more than

[15:15] ladylake and i think some of it and like

[15:17] i was trying to think about like jack

[15:18] because it like lady lake is just

[15:21] it's like every cardboard like you could

[15:23] look at it looks like every other suburb

[15:25] to be fair to it

[15:26] it it looks like every other suburb so

[15:28] you go down a street applebee's chili's

[15:31] like every chain it's so hard the

[15:33] average age is like 75. well i thought

[15:36] because there were a lot more of an

[15:38] older generation that there'd be more

[15:39] like diversity in terms of like stuff to

[15:41] do people would be more interested in

[15:43] like oh local business like all of that

[15:45] stuff was just like crazy amount of just

[15:48] the same thing and then the traffic was

[15:51] held up by golf carts i remember that

[15:53] that's what really pissed you off uh

[15:55] matt matt mormon was kind enough to let

[15:57] me drive the gt3 rs that he has and then

[16:00] the first thing i get behind after i

[16:01] blow by you guys like an is a

[16:02] golf cart yep yeah they're like 25 miles

[16:05] an hour oh yeah that we just got out of

[16:07] dinner and i don't oh wasn't it bone

[16:09] fish yeah yeah and at lea you looked

[16:11] outside the bonefish uh window to go to

[16:13] our car in right across from bonefish

[16:15] was a walgreens drive-through with two

[16:17] golf carts lined up to go through the

[16:19] the walgreens to pick up prescriptions

[16:20] and i'm like it's so weird i mean i get

[16:23] it i i mean i i guess i don't get it but

[16:26] it's just yeah i can see why you weren't

[16:27] really that charmed with it what other

[16:30] car topics do you want to discuss uh

[16:31] yeah let me look at my list jack before

[16:33] we start answering these people's

[16:34] questions no and to be fair uh benny b

[16:37] just said not that illinois is great it

[16:39] is not no

[16:41] it is not excellent this is not about us

[16:43] being in a better place i mean i'm just

[16:45] in general

[16:46] all right give me the next topic

[16:48] uh the toyota sienna jack

[16:53] i told you you should buy one of those

[16:54] too all right so the the story with the

[16:56] sienna was i got an x7 and i already

[16:58] explained that in a previous video

[17:01] um and i have no regrets about that

[17:03] choice other than it is a lot of money

[17:05] and

[17:06] i look at it and i think what would be

[17:09] the replacement for that because there's

[17:10] no way i'm keeping it outside of the uh

[17:12] whatever 95 000 mile warranty that i

[17:14] have

[17:15] um

[17:16] and i thought like okay what is going to

[17:17] do everything and the sienna

[17:19] because of its fuel economy not because

[17:21] of anything all well no i mean it's

[17:23] completely usable it's a total appliance

[17:25] on wheels and now i have one that we're

[17:27] kind of doing some long-term stuff on

[17:28] because i really want to explore what

[17:30] it's like we're going to detroit

[17:31] tomorrow to do crv watch the ottomans

[17:35] who just kicked it in the camera

[17:36] there it is um

[17:38] yeah so like we're going to detroit from

[17:40] illinois tomorrow on a day trip and just

[17:42] on my like 200 mile drive already i'm

[17:44] getting almost 40 miles per gallon not

[17:46] even trying in in a boat that big

[17:49] and you know

[17:50] like there's a lot to be said and i i

[17:52] thought it was like man this engine is

[17:54] dog holy crap is it slow and then i

[17:58] realize all i'm doing is sitting in

[17:59] traffic so who cares

[18:01] exactly and i'm not wasting money and

[18:03] it's completely usable so i i don't know

[18:06] like i think i'd just love to get back

[18:07] to a place where i just have some

[18:08] ridiculously fun car and then have a

[18:11] total like appliance that wants to suck

[18:13] your soul out

[18:15] i think

[18:16] one of the reasons why i don't think

[18:17] you'll mind is i actually really enjoyed

[18:19] our long-term benzo that thing as an

[18:21] appliance to go to and from iowa in was

[18:25] amazing it was comfortable it's quiet

[18:26] the lane keeps assist works all right

[18:28] yes the the uh

[18:30] infotainment of this gun is garbage yeah

[18:32] but you just plug in your phone anyway

[18:34] it's a total and i didn't give two shits

[18:36] about it well yeah yeah i think that's

[18:38] the other thing too driving the sienna

[18:39] around like as much as

[18:41] you lose like pretty much any like

[18:44] it's a refrigerator it is it is driving

[18:46] a refrigerator around but you're so

[18:47] stealth and incognito people like you

[18:49] roll past people and you just disappear

[18:52] like you're you're like a bot comment

[18:54] and like oh you're an npc yeah you are

[18:56] the police yeah you become that bc which

[18:59] also makes it great because i've been

[19:01] able to do some stuff in that

[19:02] thing can you drive by people go hey

[19:04] there

[19:08] i mean nobody's gonna give you hello

[19:10] nobody's even gonna well actually okay

[19:11] i'm gonna tell a story about this sienna

[19:13] i took my dad through the walgreens

[19:15] drive through pharmacy drive-thru

[19:17] yesterday and um i had an incident with

[19:20] somebody but before i get into that wait

[19:23] for this commercial

[19:25] there's no commercial i was just saying

[19:27] that because i wanted to delay this

[19:29] story and really drag it out for people

[19:31] to sit here for that i thought you're

[19:32] going to show them the amazing business

[19:34] opportunity that old spice and arby's do

[19:38] that do do it right now go on

[19:41] youtube and type in old spice and go

[19:43] look up their videos they have a

[19:45] partnership deal with arby's

[19:48] called uh

[19:50] what it what's that something about the

[19:51] meat sweat the meat sweats they they

[19:53] have a thing where somebody's eating

[19:54] like a triple decker arby's and you got

[19:56] the meat sweats and you got to get the

[19:58] old spice meat sweat edition deodorant i

[20:01] mean you want to talk about brand

[20:03] perfection right there

[20:05] i mean are you going to sue them for

[20:06] stealing your idea that that if i worked

[20:08] there that's exactly what i would have

[20:10] done so somebody's genius i hope that

[20:12] guy that guy's going to get promoted to

[20:13] vp after that

[20:15] or fired one or the other

[20:18] all right so tell them your story about

[20:19] how you're no let's do some let's do

[20:21] some questions first then we'll get into

[20:23] more like

[20:24] vlog or whatever this is so we've

[20:25] been inundated by questions already okay

[20:28] um i'm gonna bring up two two upcoming

[20:30] projects and this will answer one of the

[20:32] questions that someone asked already um

[20:34] oh my god chris we have a lot of

[20:36] questions bear with me

[20:38] oh where does this begin chris

[20:41] oh god

[20:43] oh perfect all right so we have a c606

[20:45] which is being led to us

[20:47] by a viewer and i think that's happening

[20:49] next week okay uh and we have

[20:51] engineering support from gm

[20:53] now that i've broken the seal with gm

[20:56] uh i will say i've spent a lot of time

[20:59] with various engineers and they are

[21:02] actually

[21:03] now my favorite american car brand to

[21:05] deal with from a technical level they

[21:06] may not necessarily build all my

[21:08] favorite vehicles but you you've now sat

[21:11] through a bunch of the interviews it's

[21:12] pretty amazing the kind of information

[21:13] will go to you if you ask

[21:16] i know that that kills you on the inside

[21:17] it does pain me but it's it is true at

[21:20] least right now the stuff that you've

[21:21] been doing there's people that are

[21:22] actually engaged and not just engaged

[21:25] from a marketing perspective they want

[21:27] to talk about why and how they did stuff

[21:29] now that that's completely different

[21:31] than the end result of how the product

[21:33] is yes so i i want to make that very

[21:36] clear of you know it's great to tell a

[21:38] story from our perspective because it's

[21:40] a new product we can't really judge it

[21:42] other than okay this is how it was like

[21:44] the lyric and the escalade v so the

[21:45] lyric the embargo is lifted like the

[21:48] lyric to me for i think the launch

[21:49] versions were 60 grand

[21:51] and i compare that to the gv60 you just

[21:54] drove the lyric has more range it has a

[21:57] more usable interior it rides better

[22:00] i think it's a better car and i mean the

[22:02] fact that i'm saying that about a gm ev

[22:04] is

[22:06] it's double wishbone front and rear

[22:08] where that thing isn't like it's a

[22:09] better car

[22:10] on the surface i i think there's real

[22:12] truth to that it's it's hard because

[22:15] you know you look at doing this stuff

[22:17] and you can probably everybody that's

[22:18] watching this can it can speak to this

[22:20] based on your own experience with cars

[22:22] or your own experience in life you know

[22:25] there are biases 100

[22:28] so how do you

[22:30] get through some of that to just like in

[22:32] our case just talk about what something

[22:34] is

[22:35] versus like what you feel about it you

[22:38] know you don't like korean cars

[22:42] okay and other than the launcher which

[22:43] is the best front-wheel drive car driven

[22:45] and i mean to be fair like the g80 is a

[22:47] really good car some of these cars are

[22:48] really good but you don't no matter what

[22:50] they do

[22:51] inherently you're gonna have a problem

[22:53] with them and

[22:54] this is coming from a korean person yeah

[22:57] so yeah i thought you were

[22:58] singaporean this dude changes my eraser

[23:02] because he's like he's playing the asian

[23:03] girl he's like i'm going to be every

[23:04] asian so i can fit in every group

[23:07] i can't do that i literally i'm just the

[23:09] stud

[23:12] yeah whatever won't go into that um the

[23:13] other project that's coming up i'm

[23:15] filming greg's from chicago auto pros

[23:18] 987.2

[23:20] cayman s which means nothing to him but

[23:22] it's the the cayman that everybody's

[23:24] been asking for just keep throwing out

[23:26] the numbers yeah i'm gonna bring out my

[23:28] spreadsheet i'll tell you

[23:30] i need like a decoder ring to figure out

[23:32] all these porsche numbers that you're

[23:33] always throwing around

[23:35] i do i honestly i have gotten better at

[23:38] it uh brian dogs thank you for the five

[23:40] dollars thank you everyone for that uh

[23:42] 0gn thank you for the 20. uh hey you

[23:45] guys supporting us always i was the guy

[23:48] buying the house you asked what truck to

[23:50] get elsa tacoma who owns the six speed

[23:52] thank you guys for the arby's update of

[23:55] june keep up the good work

[23:58] zero i don't know if you bought the taco

[24:00] yet but if you didn't it's still a great

[24:02] truck and if you did congratulations on

[24:04] your bridges congratulations and uh just

[24:07] congratulations when you make a million

[24:08] dollars on it in like 10 years

[24:11] when you sell somebody selling it more

[24:12] than 500 000 miles on it and you'll

[24:14] still make

[24:16] uh captain goof thank you for your 10

[24:18] donation imagine you're now a product

[24:20] planner please pitch me

[24:23] uh please pitch for me a total

[24:25] butchering of an old name plate let me

[24:27] suggest the new honda c2000 cuv except

[24:31] segment busting feature heated and

[24:33] cooled armrests

[24:36] man i don't think i could pitch one

[24:37] worse than the eclipse cross like that

[24:39] one is pretty amazing

[24:41] yeah that's really hard

[24:43] that that's like i mean we've talked

[24:45] about this before like with that with

[24:47] the name plates i was actually at

[24:49] portillo's okay and they have all this

[24:51] old-timey stuff all these advertisements

[24:54] on the wall and they had a

[24:56] and i i can't remember it was a ford it

[24:59] was like grand deluxe or some like name

[25:01] and it was showing the marketing

[25:03] description it was for the the active

[25:05] mother this car

[25:07] and it had all the luxury features like

[25:09] mahogany wood trim uh mohair carpet like

[25:13] all like real materials because there's

[25:15] no like plastic composites and i was

[25:17] sitting here thinking i'm like

[25:19] you know these are all the names like or

[25:21] more popular names that you could reboot

[25:23] into some cuv but i mean they're also

[25:26] cookie cutter you could just basically

[25:28] take any name and i don't think anybody

[25:29] would care anymore the only people that

[25:31] care are the people that have like some

[25:32] automotive like knowledge which

[25:34] apparently like the blazer is a good

[25:36] example everyone hates that

[25:37] thing on the internet yeah but they

[25:39] sound like a jillian kajillion of them

[25:41] yep that i mean because the normal

[25:43] person the corvette suv which is coming

[25:45] yeah my understanding

[25:46] i hate everything about that product

[25:49] and i'm sure they're gonna sell everyone

[25:50] they make so i can't pitch to you

[25:53] anything worse than it's already out

[25:54] there i don't know like some of that to

[25:56] get it getting off topic a little bit is

[25:58] we had that conversation with uh i think

[26:00] uh acura about that and

[26:03] uh like the one movie that comes to mind

[26:05] recently was ghostbusters the not the

[26:08] new one but the all-female cast one

[26:10] where people

[26:11] literally buried that movie

[26:14] just from just negative press and like

[26:17] like fake reviews and all this just

[26:19] literally buried it and i i think

[26:21] that's different because cars you could

[26:23] never bury because the number of people

[26:25] that are enthusiasts about cars are so

[26:28] minute compared to the actual people

[26:30] that buy them um i don't think people

[26:32] even care anymore about rebooting names

[26:34] they're like oh that's a cool name i

[26:36] have no idea what it is

[26:39] anyway it's depressing

[26:41] not really it's just business you should

[26:44] like that well

[26:45] bullying boy over here

[26:47] um

[26:48] kyle patton thank you for your ten

[26:50] dollars been waiting a while for the new

[26:52] tundra i hope it's worth it

[26:54] it's your your no no like it's i feel

[26:57] like it's hot as hell in here but i know

[26:59] it's not it's just the heat that you're

[27:00] putting off it's your laptop dude this

[27:02] thing is like

[27:03] it's probably my legs like my legs are

[27:06] sweating from being really close yeah

[27:08] it's probably the stupid because i don't

[27:10] ever turn this laptop on it's my backup

[27:12] and every time i turn it on of course

[27:13] microsoft anti-malware runs in the

[27:15] background and even when i disable the

[27:16] service somehow it comes back alive in

[27:19] five minutes and runs the cpu at a

[27:21] thousand percent for 50 hours uh kyle he

[27:25] said he's been waiting for the new

[27:26] tundra he hopes it's worth it he's got a

[27:29] tundra on order i'm assuming i assume so

[27:32] i i yeah i mean there's here there's

[27:34] nothing not to like about it honestly

[27:36] compared to the last one which is the

[27:38] question mark of reliability but it

[27:40] probably will be reliable because it's a

[27:41] toyota that i i mean anyway on the

[27:44] surface you're gonna get it and if it's

[27:45] working right you're gonna be like yeah

[27:46] this is good we have uh we're closing

[27:48] out the tundra videos with a tundra trd

[27:51] hybrid uh we get it next week or the

[27:53] week after

[27:55] um

[27:56] jdm flip-flops thank you for the ten

[27:57] dollars thank you sir thank you jdm flip

[28:00] flops you guys have a lot of love from

[28:02] mazda and porsche on the other hand are

[28:04] there any brands that have made it a

[28:06] royal pain in the ass either get a press

[28:08] car for them or get their engineering

[28:09] support yes lots of brands are a major

[28:12] pain in the ass to do both of those

[28:14] things we had a discussion about

[28:15] throwing the rep under the bus about a

[28:18] certain american oem that isn't gm or

[28:20] isn't

[28:21] dodge

[28:22] volantis you mean oh yes

[28:25] uh that isn't either those brands you

[28:26] can talk about tesla yeah i'm talking

[28:28] about tesla no um talk about another

[28:30] american brand you see what the tesla's

[28:32] doing by the way they're looking at

[28:33] people's badge swipes and seeing who's

[28:35] not coming in the office i don't know if

[28:37] that's true but if it's true it's

[28:38] amazing like they're they're actively

[28:40] sending eddie they're sending out emails

[28:41] we noticed you haven't been swiping in

[28:43] you're not showing up to work when

[28:44] you're supposed to you're done

[28:47] that's like the power move anyway go

[28:49] ahead uh certain brands they just don't

[28:51] value it right and i think some of it's

[28:52] the reps too like uh drew carey at mazda

[28:55] the head of mazda pr is amazing he

[28:58] really values engineering the whole

[29:00] porsche team and a lot of our toyota

[29:02] reps value the technical side of cars

[29:05] and they believe that is what should

[29:06] sell their product they're different

[29:07] than the typical marketing arms and even

[29:10] i know you hate gm but look what they're

[29:12] doing with z06 i don't hate gm well

[29:14] right you don't hate you don't like all

[29:16] not all of gm but the the gmz06 whoever

[29:19] is running their internal marketing for

[29:21] that putting out all those little

[29:23] corvette academy videos they're putting

[29:24] the engineers first which

[29:26] while i agree a lot of the videos are

[29:28] quite dumbed down

[29:29] they are they're making an effort to

[29:32] prioritize engineering in the mainstream

[29:33] sometimes that's the most important

[29:34] thing to go back to actually answering

[29:36] the question because this is a big one

[29:39] i had a discussion with jack about this

[29:41] person specifically and this person has

[29:43] been around the block like literally her

[29:47] oops

[29:48] the entire career

[29:50] has been at multiple different companies

[29:51] at multiple levels this is not somebody

[29:54] that's just like doesn't know what

[29:55] they're doing so when it comes time to

[29:57] actually approaching this person

[30:00] i just don't think they don't value

[30:02] they've been around too long it doesn't

[30:03] even factor in this is just we are a

[30:06] thorn or we are an obstacle for this

[30:09] person to do their job it's too much to

[30:11] ask

[30:12] at that place in that person's career

[30:14] and they do not value us trying to get

[30:17] more information request conversations

[30:20] with engineers to learn how their

[30:21] products work they don't literally it

[30:24] could be just this person but it could

[30:25] be the company mentality they do not

[30:28] care about that and they flat out said

[30:30] this is not a good use of our time is

[30:32] providing you this information now that

[30:34] could be loaded there could be more to

[30:36] it but when you look at somebody's

[30:37] career which you can and see i've

[30:39] already done everything i don't need to

[30:41] bend over for this of this outlet or

[30:43] whoever this is to give you all that

[30:45] information because it's not a good use

[30:47] of my time and that from our side is

[30:50] really telling about what companies

[30:53] really value trying to get information

[30:55] out there which are or those that just

[30:57] all they give a about is

[30:59] controlling the narrative and the

[31:00] marketing part um and many companies are

[31:03] that way and that's that's how business

[31:04] runs they don't need really they don't

[31:07] really need marketing it's just an

[31:09] exercise for them we got to do this

[31:10] let's get it done and over with that's

[31:12] all it is and there's nothing wrong with

[31:14] it um

[31:17] i mean there's a lot of businesses that

[31:18] are run like that and to be fair you

[31:20] know we are nothing and nobody in the uh

[31:22] yeah yeah i mean we're fully aware of

[31:24] that

[31:24] hopefully that answers your question

[31:26] i've been trying to tell jack that

[31:27] because he takes it personal when he's

[31:28] like trying to do a good job and trying

[31:30] to get information and he expects

[31:32] companies martin is another good example

[31:33] yeah

[31:34] i think you have an expectation that

[31:35] companies care about this stuff as much

[31:37] as you do and that

[31:38] that is just not going to be the case

[31:41] and you're never going to get

[31:44] your

[31:44] response you're never going to be happy

[31:47] if you have that expectation of people

[31:48] utility right now you're going to be

[31:49] vastly does it's worked for the brands

[31:51] and i built good relationships with

[31:53] certain brands that regardless of the

[31:55] reps and i are best friends i have a lot

[31:57] of respect for them yeah and that's the

[31:59] counterpoint right but you also chase

[32:01] those people that respect what you're

[32:03] doing that appreciate what you're doing

[32:04] and trying to go to that you take the

[32:06] next step to get you that information

[32:08] that you're desperately seeking because

[32:10] i think a lot of those reps know that

[32:12] it's more work to do what you're doing

[32:14] and they they're like this guy is

[32:15] actually trying so it elevates their

[32:18] performance and elevates the stuff and

[32:20] our reps have also learned a lot that

[32:21] they didn't know about their own

[32:22] products just from us digging deeper

[32:25] into some of the questions and while it

[32:26] might be useless knowledge i think they

[32:28] do appreciate that there's somebody out

[32:30] there trying to push them but you know

[32:32] it gets exhausting i think that's long

[32:34] it's exhausting i'm sure some of the

[32:36] engineers after some of these uh

[32:38] questions or at least the rapture like

[32:39] god i hate this guy no no i know

[32:41] we said that before like you you know

[32:44] that in the background they're like god

[32:45] damn i don't want to be dealing with

[32:46] these guys again it's like always 10

[32:48] times more work than if i just talked to

[32:51] some like influencer who just wants you

[32:52] know like a couple pictures

[32:54] yeah yeah exactly uh cool stuff one two

[32:57] three

[32:58] thank you for your 10 donation i'm cross

[33:00] shopping the gr86 premium and c8 1lt

[33:04] coupe i have deposits on each at msrp so

[33:07] dealer markup isn't an issue is the c8

[33:10] worth twice the price in this case

[33:14] if

[33:15] the c8 is about it's a better car than

[33:17] the gr86

[33:20] is it

[33:21] objectively worth twice twice the price

[33:24] yes

[33:25] if you're it's a and i say this a

[33:27] hundred times all these videos what are

[33:30] you doing with the car so if you're

[33:31] gonna preface a question let's just put

[33:33] this out here because if you want a real

[33:35] answer you're gonna have to preface this

[33:36] by saying this is what i do with my car

[33:39] i take it to the track i hard park it in

[33:42] the garage and wipe it with you know a

[33:44] diaper or my girlfriend's like 10 year

[33:46] old underwear

[33:47] you i need to know we need to know like

[33:49] what you're doing with these things so

[33:50] we can help you better understand

[33:52] because you know the corvette

[33:54] and the 80 the 86 is most fun when

[33:56] you're actually driving it flat out on

[33:58] the track yes that's a car that's

[34:00] engaging to drive but if all you're

[34:02] going to do is park it around and you

[34:03] want something

[34:04] speed excites you that's the wrong car

[34:06] you know what i mean so you see it is

[34:08] better interior it rides better it's

[34:09] faster it's more sophisticated it's just

[34:12] more right news to drive fast it's not a

[34:14] good driver's car as it it's not a good

[34:16] driver's car as it stands as a stock

[34:18] vehicle it's set up to understeer like

[34:20] crazy it's overly safe it's not really

[34:24] that connected feeling you have to do a

[34:25] lot to it to make it that way it has

[34:27] full alignment capability day one if you

[34:28] get the z51 package there are a lot of

[34:30] things you can do to negate some of

[34:32] those issues and the other question is

[34:35] is double the money a big deal to you if

[34:37] thirty if sixty five thousand whatever

[34:39] holding costs

[34:40] is no

[34:41] no real difference to your day in and

[34:43] day out life versus a thirty one

[34:46] thousand dollar e6 get the c8 yeah that

[34:49] i mean unless you're just going to go to

[34:50] the track there's more to say about it

[34:52] but i think you you know where we're

[34:54] coming from

[34:55] uh

[34:56] dan smith thank you for the 20

[34:58] donation hey guys thanks for the

[35:00] fantastic videos quick question i'm a

[35:01] bigger guy six

[35:03] six foot four a larger frame i'm looking

[35:05] for a luxury compact suv any

[35:08] recommendations under 55 000.

[35:12] and i'm six foot so it's hard for me to

[35:14] visualize i think about mike

[35:16] mike doesn't fit in anything at that

[35:18] size mike's even taller isn't he's like

[35:19] six five or something yeah mike is mike

[35:21] makes me feel like a little dwarf when

[35:23] it's that next door he doesn't fit in

[35:24] any car so he's like man why don't they

[35:26] make these big i'm like dude you're just

[35:28] you're in the 90th percentile of size so

[35:30] you're on the outside part of what these

[35:32] car designers are looking at and

[35:33] probably this gentleman as well is going

[35:35] to be on the outside of that so it's

[35:37] going to be really tough uh let's just

[35:38] say our favorite luxury suv is under 55

[35:41] grand we're going to say i'm going to

[35:42] say gv70

[35:44] um look you said compact gv70 x3 imagine

[35:48] the x3 will probably fit you germans are

[35:51] tall

[35:52] um i'm i'm discounting rdx out of the

[35:54] list now because it's so old

[35:56] and that's not big on the inside yeah

[35:58] that's not big what else do you like i

[36:01] like the but that's that's again that's

[36:03] not probably not going to fit him as the

[36:04] the

[36:05] lexus pile the rx oh the rx but the rx

[36:08] is getting refreshed yeah yeah which

[36:11] you know i mean i don't know that's a

[36:12] four popper only now too i would look at

[36:15] personally uh if you want a luxury

[36:19] uh

[36:20] compact suv x3 or gv70 and i'm a ton is

[36:23] in under 55. what else are we missing

[36:25] there's got to be some other brands

[36:26] there glc i didn't like

[36:29] mercedes yeah what other luxury brands

[36:31] are there i don't like lincoln's i mean

[36:33] the corsair is fine but i wouldn't tell

[36:34] you to buy a new lincoln right um

[36:36] the small catalog suvs are crap uh what

[36:40] about the dodge piles or the g piles

[36:42] what are they

[36:43] they have no good small ones

[36:46] yeah all the small ones are like the

[36:47] garbage cans yeah so you're basically if

[36:49] you want and he wants luxury so yeah

[36:51] basically my mind the q5 is small and

[36:53] it's old but it's it's a good car an sq5

[36:56] is great yeah well that's all over that

[36:58] sq5 is what like that's got to be like

[37:00] 65 000 is that

[37:02] yeah around 60 you know but

[37:05] no okay yeah well the q5 is great it's

[37:07] just very vanilla yeah x3 man if you

[37:11] honestly i mean i hate to say that but

[37:13] it's rear-wheel drive architecture

[37:15] you know it's still 50 50 weight

[37:16] distribution out of an suv it's just not

[37:19] luxury kind of to me it feels very gv70

[37:22] has a nicer interior it does one hundred

[37:23] percent we'll leave it uh let's just

[37:25] leave it at that gv70x3 take a look at

[37:27] both of those i think you'll hopefully

[37:28] fit in one of them this guy's just

[37:30] saying genesis because

[37:32] to make up for the fact that he's really

[37:33] trash they have a predator drone outside

[37:35] of this house they're gonna drone strike

[37:36] me in my escalator when you see monday's

[37:39] video or friday's video uh when it's the

[37:41] gv70 or whatever sorry gv60 you'll see

[37:44] that it's all shot by me and made by me

[37:46] aside from jack making a minimal

[37:48] appearance in the shop yeah it's like

[37:50] all for jax jack calls me he's like man

[37:53] i'm done with this thing

[37:55] i spent three minutes under here

[38:29] gonna bring up something that came from

[38:30] the hawaii trip that will always did you

[38:33] tell this one already maybe

[38:35] you're going to retell it sorry so we

[38:36] are

[38:37] now that people have seen like the five

[38:39] people moral that have watched their

[38:40] hawaii video

[38:41] um

[38:42] one of the stops we did was at a uh

[38:45] basically like a laboratory essentially

[38:47] that worked primarily in water

[38:48] laboratory what do you for a laboratory

[38:52] what do you what country are you from um

[38:55] oh that goes into go back to yeah dude

[38:57] i'm like 40 countries go back to your

[38:59] planet

[39:00] no yeah sorry about jeff goldblum or

[39:02] girls are easy oh yeah

[39:04] um

[39:05] man that was a that was a throwback

[39:07] that's throwback to what year probably

[39:09] 80s

[39:10] 90s birth girls no that's probably

[39:11] you're probably gina davis is in that

[39:13] one too maybe it's all right anyway back

[39:15] to the story we're at this place

[39:18] um

[39:19] for science

[39:20] and this lady who is trying to show us

[39:23] what you can do with sea salt water salt

[39:26] uh was like are you guys brothers you

[39:27] guys have the same eyes

[39:29] and uh bark and i are obviously not the

[39:31] same ethnic background and have no uh

[39:35] are we do not share the same parents

[39:36] yeah but we have the eyes because we

[39:38] both have squinty eyes so apparently

[39:40] that means that we're both born she

[39:42] didn't see race i'm gonna give her that

[39:43] the like the late oh that's why you

[39:45] didn't like lady lake because somebody

[39:46] said something right not even it's not

[39:48] racist i guess it's like speak really

[39:49] good english yeah what would you call

[39:51] that like it was like i don't know it

[39:53] was

[39:54] what would be the like the it made me

[39:56] laugh no the derogatory term the

[39:57] foundation

[39:59] no there's a you speak really good

[40:00] english no that's like what do they call

[40:02] that backhanded compliment no

[40:05] what is it when you

[40:07] talk about like a gender or a race and

[40:09] like put stereotypes on them

[40:13] somebody's gonna pick it up like

[40:15] oh like if a movie came out and they had

[40:17] a white person playing it uh like what

[40:19] was that movie with emma stone she

[40:20] played my favorite movie ever

[40:23] i know aloha yeah she played like an

[40:25] asian bradley cooper in it and emma

[40:27] stone plays a half korean league okay

[40:32] anyway whatever like yeah you

[40:35] jack came back to the hotel that night

[40:36] he's like you'll never believe this

[40:40] the water works to come and he wanted me

[40:41] to hold them

[40:43] it was like uh it was like uh casino

[40:46] royale i got in the shower i was crying

[40:48] and you came with

[40:50] oh poor jack all right anyway back to

[40:52] the questions um

[40:55] oh god all right where the am i in

[40:56] this i'm sorry guys we're trying to tell

[40:58] stories

[41:00] uh

[41:01] nope nope

[41:04] too many too many questions all right

[41:06] andrew thank you for the five euros any

[41:08] insight to why colors like the recent

[41:11] mdx you've viewed aren't more commonly

[41:13] offered here's some petrol money for one

[41:16] of your small us gallons

[41:18] oh the mdx yeah why aren't more

[41:20] interesting colors put in press fleets

[41:22] or purchased i know i i'm pretty sure i

[41:24] said this on the last live stream about

[41:26] the the design one of the designers or

[41:28] product liners for the old civic the

[41:30] the civic that everybody hated when it

[41:32] came out like i think the 9th gen

[41:35] yeah i think it was the 9th gen so it

[41:36] was like super bland and she fought to

[41:39] get that lime green and then an orange

[41:41] color and the dealers didn't want it and

[41:44] it was a huge backlash against her

[41:46] because she went to bat for interesting

[41:47] color so none of the dealers wanted it

[41:49] and they complained and complained up

[41:50] the corporate chain and then they didn't

[41:52] sell a lot of them that was the the the

[41:54] knife in it and she said afterwards i

[41:56] will never do that again in my career it

[41:58] was just not worth going to bat for

[42:00] those extra colors and i think that's

[42:02] that's part of it is people don't buy

[42:04] them people don't buy them in in mass

[42:06] and bulk and just that again it's about

[42:08] tying up production to have these

[42:09] one-off colors and the dealers are a big

[42:11] part they want the mainstream movers how

[42:13] can they move the most amount of cars

[42:15] possible and the mainstream colors will

[42:17] sell way more than the obscure ones and

[42:19] it's weird when you meet people who buy

[42:21] mainstream color choices they say it's

[42:23] because it's eloquent or elegant or

[42:25] sophisticated yeah all the adjectives to

[42:28] describe but on the counterpoint is like

[42:30] you look at some of the audi products

[42:32] like now you can it's not paint to

[42:33] sample it's like you can see them going

[42:35] the spectrum colors you can choose i

[42:36] think there's like 30 of them they're

[42:38] outside the box that of course you have

[42:40] to wait for it takes away the rs3 gets

[42:42] crazy colors and we are doing an rs3

[42:45] video and we will be taking it to the

[42:46] track oh boy i can't wait for that no

[42:49] dude my tent will be pitched no no

[42:51] that'll be a product that'll actually be

[42:53] fun anyway the paint to sample stuff

[42:54] like where you can choose specialty

[42:56] colors i think that that would be a good

[42:57] way to offset some of the cost like if i

[43:00] really wanted a car color

[43:02] like some of the badass colors that you

[43:04] should be able to choose on cars that

[43:05] you're spending now like what fifty

[43:07] thousand dollars on anyone i would wait

[43:09] a couple months to get a special color i

[43:11] wish they would do that but they don't

[43:12] have the they don't have it set up and

[43:14] they're manufacturing this someone's

[43:16] comment dodge the however does do a good

[43:18] job with colors all the chargers and

[43:20] challengers like i guess plum crazy that

[43:22] yeah they use is amazing

[43:24] um one of my friends always comments

[43:26] like why is it always the box cars

[43:28] that have the cool colors you see a

[43:30] chevy spark and like teal and purple and

[43:32] like the renegades have like crazy

[43:34] colors it's like it's weird that they do

[43:36] it on like the base like like i just

[43:39] think it's a dodge thing i will say i

[43:40] mean porsche if you pay twenty thousand

[43:42] dollars you can paint your car however

[43:43] yeah that's true yeah exactly what a

[43:45] deal

[43:46] well no that's that's what's the there's

[43:48] two levels of pts there's uh there's

[43:51] like there's pts and i think pts plus

[43:54] this is hyper nerdy and yeah spreadsheet

[43:56] up but if you do pts there's a list of

[43:58] colors i think it's only seven thousand

[44:00] for the list of colors and then to do

[44:01] the full blown one where you pick the

[44:03] color like you could just take a paint

[44:05] twenty degrees it's 20 grand yeah

[44:07] um all right anyway daniel oh bendy gave

[44:11] us 420 420 4.25 yeah oh

[44:15] is it 420 today

[44:18] no it's not

[44:19] well if somebody's watching this after

[44:20] the fact it could be well if you watch

[44:22] this next year on 420

[44:23] bendy yeah then you can really celebrate

[44:26] uh daniel hellner thank you for the ten

[44:29] dollars is there no room in the kingdom

[44:31] of heaven for automatic transmission

[44:33] enjoyers yeah there is

[44:35] hey i used to be all down on the auto

[44:37] and in certain cars we've said it like

[44:39] the elantra and conant while the conan

[44:41] doesn't come with anything else but the

[44:42] veloster in it's better as a dual clutch

[44:45] i will say like that's a perfect example

[44:47] if you're if you're an automatic hater

[44:49] you go back five to ten years and go

[44:52] drive a hyundai or kia all their

[44:54] automatics and what do we say to every

[44:55] single one god these things are horrible

[44:57] or like the cvt piles like oh man i

[45:00] would never get one of these and then

[45:02] just see the turnaround literally from

[45:04] their first dcts and like the first gen

[45:06] d cts that were blowing up and people

[45:08] like these are horrible to what they did

[45:10] in the new cars to convert you over to

[45:12] being like i would rather have the dct

[45:14] that's how good it is that's a huge step

[45:16] forward um and obviously the future cars

[45:18] we're not even gonna be well i guess

[45:20] porsche has a multi-speed uh ev but who

[45:23] knows if they're gonna do that like all

[45:24] these car companies i and i think too

[45:26] like certain vehicles

[45:28] like the gt3 so we're

[45:30] we're doing another gt3 video this

[45:32] summer

[45:33] big big shock there but it'll be more

[45:35] digestible and artsy and fun

[45:37] and you know the our rep is a coat

[45:40] doesn't matter i'm like i don't care

[45:41] what your box is in that car it's

[45:43] amazing that's a good point when you

[45:45] literally could not care what what

[45:46] gearbox is in the car because the car is

[45:48] so good the engine regardless of what it

[45:50] is

[45:50] you can't lose with certain cars yeah

[45:52] there are still some really shitty

[45:53] automatics out there yes there are but

[45:55] there are some bad automatics if you buy

[45:57] an automatic you can still go to heaven

[45:59] daniel uh stephen thompson for five

[46:01] dollars thoughts on the previous gen g80

[46:04] v8 it seems like a great use value in

[46:06] the mid 30s

[46:07] yeah and i i was gonna buy a g80 v8 um

[46:11] and that engine like there wasn't a lot

[46:13] of good and i didn't to be fair i didn't

[46:15] know a hyundai uh hyundai mechanic at

[46:17] that time so i was really nervous about

[46:20] it but i think the only thing from my

[46:22] research back then was

[46:23] certain engines had a shitload of oil

[46:25] consumption issues like oil consumption

[46:28] was the biggest what else would you buy

[46:29] used in that price range the luxury suv

[46:32] uh the uh

[46:34] the v8 pile and the gs the gsf gsf is

[46:37] not 30 grand oh it's got to be 30 in the

[46:40] mid 30s oh god there's not much not with

[46:43] a v8 like you'd have to go to like old

[46:45] like legacy yeah that's hard to pick but

[46:47] just saying regular what would you buy

[46:49] use as a luxury sedan on that price did

[46:51] you get a gs or an es on that price

[46:52] range i'd personally i get an es i know

[46:55] that's that's like boring as hell but it

[46:57] does it's so well

[47:00] to get a used es in this generation is

[47:03] going to be impossible for 30 000 so

[47:05] that would lead you back into the old gs

[47:08] with a v6

[47:09] the previous gs and then probably an old

[47:12] ls500 you could probably find an old

[47:14] ls500 for maybe 40. yeah that thing

[47:17] would be amazing yeah just above the

[47:20] boat i mean that that's a tough one man

[47:21] that's not a lot of money to work with

[47:23] if you want luxury yeah purely if you

[47:26] want a luxury car right there's a lot of

[47:27] great options in the 30s oh yeah yeah

[47:29] you always buy a used five series with a

[47:31] long ass warranty yeah that that's true

[47:33] you'd have to i think so people ask this

[47:35] a lot i've seen a lot of questions like

[47:36] what extended warranty would you buy

[47:39] and i've had to do a lot of research

[47:40] because i was doing this when i bought

[47:41] the x7 used because bmw doesn't do their

[47:44] own aftermarket warranties so um

[47:49] the one of the best aftermarket

[47:50] warranties is fidelity right now so if

[47:53] you're if you're looking to get a used

[47:54] car and you're looking for an

[47:55] aftermarket warranty fidelity is really

[47:57] safe and they're fair if you sell the

[47:58] car and you get your money back and all

[48:00] that so

[48:01] that's just a tip for you

[48:03] uh all right back to the questions and

[48:05] this one made me smile earlier

[48:07] robert patrick has assured that you can

[48:09] get girl drink drunk

[48:13] have yourself a round of chocolate chew

[48:15] chews on me

[48:16] i currently have decently optioned 718

[48:20] no lsd or ptv but i enjoy driving it is

[48:24] a gts 4 liter really worth the upgrade

[48:27] i'd see track days and road trips

[48:30] it would see track days and road trips

[48:32] absolutely the 4 liter is amazing

[48:34] yeah it is

[48:36] yeah i'll i'll leave it at that it's a

[48:37] special car i mean it's not the the old

[48:40] you know

[48:41] it's not

[48:42] gt4 rs

[48:44] but the 4-liter i mean it's it's got its

[48:46] roots that they're all very have

[48:48] similarities to it so that's a

[48:49] no-brainer if you're going from the four

[48:51] popper yeah to the flat six yeah and you

[48:54] don't care that you're gonna have a lot

[48:56] of money

[48:57] absolutely worth the money get it as a

[49:00] manual too that's a car i think yeah

[49:02] it's not it's not fast enough yeah and

[49:04] the the pdk and the for the the non ar

[49:08] or the non gt products are slightly

[49:10] different the way that they're tuned

[49:11] they're not as juicy i'll just put it

[49:13] that way

[49:14] uh gregory ames no arby's oh thank you

[49:17] gregory for the five dollars no arby's

[49:19] tonight thoughts on the audi e-tron well

[49:22] we're getting an e-tron press car so you

[49:24] can uh

[49:25] feel free to wait for that i guess in

[49:27] the market for a family hauler hate the

[49:29] model y waiting to see a pulse r3 price

[49:32] range

[49:34] yeah you know i'm i've after seeing all

[49:36] the volvo stuff it's like i i'm really

[49:39] pulling for them to to fix their cars

[49:42] with the ev part of it but it's so hard

[49:44] because you know it's not like

[49:46] they're gonna take probably two more

[49:48] generations to get evs that are just

[49:50] like amazing and they're they're close

[49:52] now but

[49:53] i i'm looking forward to seeing their

[49:55] cars in 2030 and let's just put it that

[49:56] way i'm going to answer about six more

[49:59] questions and tell your story then i'll

[50:00] go back to answering questions

[50:02] yeah uh motive engineering for two

[50:04] dollars still planning on a c606 video

[50:07] if you're tuning in i have spoken to the

[50:10] small block team who designed the ls7

[50:12] and we are getting a c606 2009

[50:16] next week from a very very kind viewer

[50:19] named dan can you explain a little bit

[50:21] like about your call just so people

[50:23] understand yeah sue i worked i had a

[50:25] call with probably five or six members

[50:27] senior members of the gm small block

[50:29] team

[50:30] so the way gm works obviously you have

[50:32] your individual engineering teams for

[50:33] different products then you have your

[50:35] product line engineers as well chief

[50:37] engineers blah blah blah i spoke to some

[50:40] of the gentlemen who have worked for gm

[50:42] for like 30 years and this specific team

[50:44] designed the ls7 and the new lt6 they've

[50:48] worked on basically every iteration of

[50:50] v8 you can think of from last 20 years

[50:52] there were five of them it was a pretty

[50:55] just normal conversation more

[50:58] they let me ask some difficult questions

[51:00] about lifters and all that other

[51:01] nonsense and you know valve train issues

[51:03] but as well they explained what their

[51:06] process was to design the ls7 what the

[51:08] leadership wanted what the corvette team

[51:10] wanted and they walked through why they

[51:11] loved that motor so much still and how

[51:13] did you what was your impression of

[51:15] talking to them like did you feel that

[51:18] they were still passionate that they

[51:19] watched to talk about it after this long

[51:20] they um

[51:22] it's a corny phrase but i think after

[51:24] meeting more and more gm engineers and

[51:26] i'm going to say this about gm here in a

[51:28] second next too but um

[51:30] they said that they they basically do

[51:32] the sports car stuff for free oh really

[51:34] that's what it is that's that's that's

[51:36] how they treat their job so like they

[51:38] know they're there to design v8s for

[51:41] tahoe and silverado and all other

[51:44] nonsense but

[51:45] they'll work on the uh sports car

[51:48] products like the ls7 after hours

[51:50] because they want to because that's

[51:52] that's like what they're passionate

[51:53] about they're not just doing like a

[51:54] cookie cutter you know the car the motor

[51:57] is badass have you ever if you've ever

[51:58] heard an ls7 as you're about to drive

[52:00] one and i will too i'm really excited

[52:02] because that motor

[52:03] i don't think a lot of gm v8s have a lot

[52:05] of character that commodore has a donut

[52:07] i'll be interested to drive it like i

[52:09] like i say this all the time like i

[52:10] don't really get excited until i'm

[52:12] actually driving it and you'll catch me

[52:13] like caught off guard where i'm like oh

[52:15] my god this is actually amazing and it's

[52:16] pretty genuine

[52:18] uh

[52:19] bradley berry thank you so much for the

[52:21] fifty dollars thank you and thank you to

[52:22] everybody who's donating to ask a

[52:24] question and i'm trying to answer

[52:26] regular questions as well

[52:28] um

[52:29] barry

[52:30] sorry bradley uh said i just wanted to

[52:33] say thank you guys for the amazing

[52:34] content you guys are hands down the best

[52:36] review channel out there well thank you

[52:38] uh bernie mac for five dollars it's nice

[52:40] to see that you're you're back from the

[52:42] dead yeah yeah thanks bernie

[52:45] no question just one event that i

[52:47] absolutely hate the amazon alexa

[52:49] commercial for the buick enclave thanks

[52:51] guys that'll lead me back to my gm thing

[52:53] so gm has three divisions in my mind

[52:56] that i've spoken to or

[52:57] three three levels of teams you have the

[53:01] truck team which have unlimited

[53:03] resources and limited money and trucks

[53:06] are hard to debate whether they're good

[53:07] or not because everybody has their own

[53:09] opinions it's like religions you have

[53:10] the sports car team who make things like

[53:12] the zl1 the corvette and like the black

[53:15] wing those guys make amazing cars and

[53:18] then you have the shitbox gm products

[53:20] like the tracks yeah the encores of the

[53:23] world it's like the b team stuff the b

[53:25] team stuff that's

[53:27] uh blazer equinox all that crap

[53:31] that's one of those products the encore

[53:33] okay yeah i mean i i i would agree with

[53:35] you i think doing this more you have an

[53:37] enclave sorry i wouldn't say a better

[53:38] respect but you understand that like

[53:40] okay you're not gonna put your senior

[53:42] level people on cars that are just like

[53:44] they out right they're just trying

[53:46] to fill that hole and we we i was

[53:48] talking about this with bmw

[53:50] like why do you have an x one two three

[53:52] four five six seven eight and nine and

[53:54] it's like they're literally just trying

[53:55] to plug holes so they have that in

[53:57] between well our customers want this we

[53:59] don't have it so we got to fill the gap

[54:01] and like how is that cost effective but

[54:02] it's also a way for engineers to cut

[54:04] their teeth on like products that are

[54:06] far less important

[54:08] so the the young workforce can come in

[54:10] screw that up and then actually work on

[54:13] a product that matters so some of it is

[54:15] that too

[54:17] all right and two more and then we'll

[54:19] tell your story okay real stories

[54:23] for ten dollars thank you

[54:25] uh some of the elantra and models are

[54:27] broken from the dealership missing a

[54:29] pedal

[54:30] huh

[54:31] with time the six speed will be more

[54:33] sought after than the dct enjoy your

[54:35] automatic

[54:36] suckers you're probably not wrong your

[54:39] launch ran as a manual be worth more

[54:41] money

[54:41] that's i mean that's the reality of

[54:43] manual cars in general i mean

[54:45] so you just don't get me wrong i i don't

[54:47] want to on the automatic stuff

[54:50] because certain people cannot drive

[54:51] manual that that's totally fine my point

[54:53] is that automatics have gotten so good

[54:55] that in some cases like you really can

[54:58] still get that much enjoyment there's

[54:59] not it's not a dirty word however

[55:01] because there's so little manuals and so

[55:04] it's harder to find them in terms of a

[55:06] long-term investment if you can drive a

[55:08] manual you're almost better off doing

[55:10] that because when you go to flip it i

[55:12] mean you're certain cars of course it's

[55:14] gonna be gone you're gonna have like 10

[55:15] offers on it in two days like oh my god

[55:17] i can't find this as long as you take

[55:18] good care of it um it's always going to

[55:20] be easy to sell

[55:22] that's the truth right all i mean like

[55:24] c7 is a good example i keep looking at

[55:26] prices because i don't know what to do

[55:27] with my car if i get what i'm trying to

[55:29] get

[55:29] um the automatics are worthless in

[55:32] comparison to the manual yeah old

[55:33] porsches are that way no one wants a

[55:35] manual i mean a pdk

[55:37] not nobody but less people want the the

[55:40] manual gt car i mean the automatic gt

[55:42] cars uh torledge thank you for your five

[55:44] dollars thank yous morgan s thank you

[55:46] for your fifty dollars oh

[55:48] what are we doing here what are we what

[55:50] he's asking about the chevy spark mark

[55:51] oh is he yeah for 50 bucks he's asking

[55:53] about the chevy smart don't worry i'm

[55:55] ready mentally for this one uh would you

[55:56] guys consider reviewing a chevy spark

[55:58] the cheapest new car in the u.s doesn't

[56:00] seem like doesn't seem to be a total

[56:02] pile and it's getting discontinued in

[56:04] august

[56:05] the chances of us actually getting a

[56:07] spark from from gm why they would even

[56:09] spend the money the 600 plus dollars to

[56:12] have it

[56:13] glowed out when they're killing it off i

[56:16] mean i honestly uh a friend

[56:18] wanted to get one i did a test drive and

[56:21] one of them and i was biting my tongue

[56:23] the whole time i was in it and by the

[56:25] end of the test drive i'm like

[56:27] it wasn't it's bad how cheap is it

[56:30] well what they wanted to sell it for was

[56:32] like 25 000 they had they were like

[56:35] trying to mark it up what yeah because

[56:37] there was it was hard to find at that

[56:39] time there wasn't a lot of them but i

[56:40] mean i think the base prices

[56:42] don't quote me but somewhere around like

[56:44] 16.

[56:46] i think i think 16 grand for a new car

[56:48] 16 18 probably whatever i don't know i

[56:51] could be totally wrong but i know it's

[56:52] cheap and it really other than knowing

[56:55] that it was like kind of a box and

[56:58] you remove yourself of it it was

[57:00] actually good to drive

[57:02] it was not bad to drive it's not mini

[57:04] cooper like you get a mini coop you're

[57:05] like holy this thing's way better

[57:07] for like a micro car but

[57:09] i don't know if you're on a tight budget

[57:10] you need a small car

[57:13] not the end of the world someone says

[57:15] it's starting thirteen thousand six

[57:16] hundred dollars okay so by the time you

[57:18] probably get one option with a couple

[57:19] things that's like 14 or 15 grand they

[57:22] wanted 25 grand yeah because this that

[57:24] was like a weird color combination and

[57:26] like it there was none in like a 400

[57:29] mile range

[57:31] like like a geography what a deal

[57:35] all right last one before your story

[57:36] that's dealerships man forgetful foot

[57:38] for five dollars thank you can't wait to

[57:40] see you guys do a 987 or 987.2 cayman

[57:44] boxster video well as i mentioned

[57:46] earlier we are doing one all right mark

[57:48] tell your story uh so i wanted to go up

[57:50] the beaten path a little bit jeff all

[57:51] right tell me about it you know i think

[57:54] about these these live streams and

[57:55] people come here to watch and listen to

[57:57] us about car stuff

[57:59] um but after a while you get a little

[58:01] bit uh tone deaf about things that are

[58:03] going you're talking i'm gonna grab my

[58:05] bottle yeah this guy's talking out on

[58:06] this one yeah i'm just gonna leave um

[58:10] i i kind of wanted to say this as like a

[58:12] positive thing

[58:14] because i think at least in the united

[58:16] states and a lot of people like message

[58:18] us like what the going on with

[58:20] your country and all that and i don't

[58:22] want to get in any of the politics of it

[58:24] um

[58:25] but i think there's a lot of people that

[58:27] are not doing well right now with

[58:28] everything going on and

[58:31] i i see it i see things on both i try to

[58:34] like it's part of doing these videos

[58:35] right you have to connect with a lot of

[58:37] people i can't just go out and trash

[58:39] something because somebody might

[58:42] actually really like that um and it's

[58:44] hard to balance that so you have to you

[58:46] have to watch and be

[58:49] uh no it's not just careful it's it's

[58:51] appreciate the fact that other people do

[58:53] not share the same mindset or feelings

[58:55] as you do so it's kind of trying to

[58:57] understand both sides and it makes you

[58:58] better at talking about things and

[58:59] understanding

[59:01] um

[59:02] so

[59:03] i saw something recently that somebody

[59:05] had sent me on instagram dms

[59:07] and it was like a personal question like

[59:09] what do you think about it and i think i

[59:11] talked to you about this it was uh

[59:14] donald trump jr

[59:16] talking about like all he does is post

[59:18] memes on his instagram profile and i've

[59:19] never seen it before but it was all like

[59:22] basically baiting like teasing the

[59:24] monkeys i thought you know with this

[59:26] much power why would you want to like

[59:28] make people feel even more uncomfortable

[59:30] even know if you didn't do it and that

[59:32] very night

[59:34] it was just on hulu chelsea handler took

[59:36] over uh what's his name jimmy kimmel

[59:38] show

[59:39] holy it was just the opposite it

[59:42] was like taking a piss on the other side

[59:45] like these two polar extremes people

[59:47] that have

[59:48] huge voices

[59:49] huge voices like you're talking to

[59:52] millions of people and you all you want

[59:54] to do

[59:55] is put a wedge between people and

[59:58] it made me think about like how could

[1:00:00] you do this better like how do you find

[1:00:02] a middle ground where you're not just

[1:00:03] pissing people off all the time

[1:00:05] trying to bring people together more and

[1:00:08] like it made me think about my own self

[1:00:09] like the i did when i was younger

[1:00:11] like i didn't give a i didn't think

[1:00:12] about that the fact that you could say

[1:00:14] something it can really bother people or

[1:00:16] hurt people's feelings and you you

[1:00:18] divide like the group and it's like a

[1:00:20] inner circle of fighting and that's what

[1:00:21] the internet's become and

[1:00:23] i i don't know if it's age but i'm i i

[1:00:26] thought about what we're doing how do we

[1:00:28] bring how do you even though this is

[1:00:30] cars i mean cars and technology it's

[1:00:33] like the seemingly most meaningless

[1:00:35] thing but there's clearly people here

[1:00:38] there's people that are interested in

[1:00:39] not only car opinions but other stuff

[1:00:41] there's companies we work with who

[1:00:43] value and respect some of your opinions

[1:00:46] how do you get everybody together where

[1:00:47] you're like trying to

[1:00:49] to learn from them

[1:00:51] learn your stories hear your side of

[1:00:53] while also trying to balance out

[1:00:55] our side and not be hyper biased and

[1:00:57] bring people together and i wish there

[1:01:00] was

[1:01:01] and again it goes back to these

[1:01:02] questions that i get people are looking

[1:01:04] for community i think yeah

[1:01:06] you know a lot of people find community

[1:01:08] there was a interview that i listened to

[1:01:10] recently there's a guy he works for the

[1:01:12] daily show it was

[1:01:14] the comedian's name he was talking about

[1:01:16] going to all these uh like very far

[1:01:18] right um

[1:01:19] the growlies for our former president

[1:01:21] and one of the things he said regardless

[1:01:23] if i agree with him or not i'm not

[1:01:24] trying to get political on this but

[1:01:26] these people are looking for community

[1:01:27] just like people on the far left look

[1:01:29] for community and hopefully

[1:01:32] by doing car stuff or technology people

[1:01:34] can find a community in a more

[1:01:36] constructive way versus

[1:01:38] now you can like you can be on either

[1:01:40] political spectrum yeah yeah and like

[1:01:42] cars and technology and that'll be your

[1:01:44] common ground because if you find common

[1:01:45] ground with someone right you're more

[1:01:47] likely to

[1:01:48] uh

[1:01:50] hopefully view them as a human being

[1:01:52] versus you see something else yeah and

[1:01:53] that's kind of what i was getting at is

[1:01:55] there's there's a level of humanity that

[1:01:57] i feel like is being lost right now and

[1:01:58] all this and even people with a lot

[1:02:01] of power

[1:02:02] and a lot of like influence and there

[1:02:04] there's some really really insanely

[1:02:06] smart people and i know you know this

[1:02:08] and it it's whether you agree or

[1:02:10] disagree i think certain people

[1:02:12] that have this power don't know

[1:02:15] the the actual effect

[1:02:17] or the power they wield and they don't

[1:02:19] know when to shut their mouth like

[1:02:20] literally don't know when they've

[1:02:22] crossed the line where not only are they

[1:02:24] alienating other people but they're also

[1:02:27] like hurting them like hurting

[1:02:30] everybody that's in this community by

[1:02:31] like driving a wedge and i need

[1:02:34] personally that that's what this is

[1:02:35] about i want to try to do a better job

[1:02:37] of being more accessible

[1:02:39] to to teach people and not like make it

[1:02:42] like not posting or all

[1:02:44] over somebody because i don't agree with

[1:02:46] it and i've done a bad job with certain

[1:02:48] cars and certain topics that we discover

[1:02:50] and i don't want it to come across like

[1:02:52] i don't care like i i'm not the i'm not

[1:02:55] a pretentious person i do expect the

[1:02:57] level of quality of course i have high

[1:02:59] expectations that people actually do the

[1:03:01] work and put the effort in with a lot of

[1:03:03] the stuff um but i don't want to be like

[1:03:05] being divisive i will bring up i like

[1:03:08] that there's a nice like angle of just

[1:03:09] some of our crotches in this and this oh

[1:03:10] yeah yeah i mean it's huge

[1:03:13] and part of this is just like trying to

[1:03:15] trying to we got to get more sponsors

[1:03:17] this whole pitch is to get more really

[1:03:19] what my point was is i need sponsorship

[1:03:21] money to get inflated down there and uh

[1:03:23] i need to turn back the clock 20 years

[1:03:25] so i can connect with the new

[1:03:27] demographic that i'm losing out by on by

[1:03:30] aging out jack that's what this really

[1:03:31] was about okay good i mean i've been

[1:03:33] working hard on our rogaine sponsorship

[1:03:35] so what so the question is then game of

[1:03:38] thrones conversation is how do you

[1:03:40] do stuff and even in your own lives how

[1:03:42] do you connect like either at work or

[1:03:45] relationships how do you hear

[1:03:47] and listen to alternating opinions and

[1:03:49] the automatic transmission versus manual

[1:03:51] one is a really good debate because

[1:03:53] there's a lot of people that like hate

[1:03:55] this discussion because it's like

[1:03:57] pitting two groups of enthusiasts

[1:03:58] against each other because the the

[1:04:00] manual crowd like the save the manuals

[1:04:02] thing gets real pretentious about oh god

[1:04:04] if you drive an automatic you're a piece

[1:04:06] of or that that line from the boys

[1:04:09] did you see that the guy's like

[1:04:11] did your brain

[1:04:12] did your stupid brain the id or did

[1:04:15] or you did your idiot brain the

[1:04:16] stupid part of it or something like just

[1:04:18] derogatory that's what people hear when

[1:04:20] you talk about automatics in a bad way

[1:04:22] so like how do you do a better job of

[1:04:24] like trying to just don't speak down to

[1:04:26] people about it or just don't talk about

[1:04:28] it yeah ignore it and get back to the

[1:04:29] car questions perfect all right let's go

[1:04:31] back to the car questions mark

[1:08:26] don't blame them at all i mean honestly

[1:08:28] there's no interest in it it's no

[1:08:29] interest and it's hard to get excited

[1:11:40] um

[1:11:44] on w uh for five dollars hey guys what

[1:11:48] are your thoughts on motorcycles as a

[1:11:49] hobby i recently got a yamaha

[1:11:51] access yamaha

[1:11:55] xs rs 700 and absolutely loving it

[1:11:59] i love bikes

[1:12:00] god that would you is that the bot

[1:12:02] answer yeah hey i love i love bikes i

[1:12:05] used to be an adventurer

[1:12:07] let me check your code real quick okay i

[1:12:09] just adjusted motorcycles i've had like

[1:12:11] four four four bikes i still have my

[1:12:14] street triple r i love bikes you're just

[1:12:16] out here

[1:12:17] i'm gonna get run over by somebody and

[1:12:19] there's nowhere to ride

[1:12:21] unless you want to ride in a straight

[1:12:22] line there are a lot of npcs out here a

[1:12:25] lot of npcs

[1:12:27] so i'm going to go back i'm going to

[1:12:28] recover my conversation that i kind of

[1:12:30] botched earlier i didn't have a full

[1:12:31] thought so that's conversation about the

[1:12:33] sienna that i started talking about i

[1:12:35] came out of the drive-thru at walgreens

[1:12:37] with my dad and

[1:12:40] it's just one way out

[1:12:42] you know all you can do is go forward

[1:12:43] and then it cuts over to like a stop

[1:12:45] sign and i'm like go to the right and

[1:12:47] there's a car coming the other way so

[1:12:48] we're like this and then there's a guy

[1:12:50] behind this guy in my lane right in

[1:12:53] front of me so i'm like i stopped there

[1:12:54] because clearly this guy doesn't

[1:12:56] understand that it's a two-lane road and

[1:12:59] he looks at me and pulls up and rolls

[1:13:01] down his window and is swearing at me he

[1:13:03] literally is going off the deep end at

[1:13:06] me because he thought i was going the

[1:13:09] wrong way

[1:13:10] even though i just came out of the

[1:13:11] drive-through which there's a sign there

[1:13:13] for that

[1:13:14] and i'm thinking to myself this guy is

[1:13:15] completely

[1:13:16] ir i mean he's got to get a 10. he's out

[1:13:18] of 10 and he's in the wrong and he

[1:13:20] doesn't even know it i'm sitting here

[1:13:22] thinking my first reaction was like

[1:13:25] like i was actually in an okay mood but

[1:13:27] if i was at the wrong place in time i

[1:13:29] probably would have created a

[1:13:30] provocative situation like sean connery

[1:13:33] and i thought to myself like why is this

[1:13:34] guy getting so amped up when he's so

[1:13:36] wrong

[1:13:37] and

[1:13:38] i'm like i guess

[1:13:40] some part of me wanted to escalate that

[1:13:43] i wanted to like i really wanted to roll

[1:13:45] down the window and be like

[1:13:48] just

[1:13:49] just go off and then and i'm like my

[1:13:51] dad's in the car i'm like because you

[1:13:52] were driving a minivan you watched

[1:13:54] unhinged yeah that's true you're in a

[1:13:56] sienna like russell crowe i mean i don't

[1:13:58] think it would i thought like 100

[1:14:00] because i was in a minivan this guy

[1:14:02] would have just been like just okay this

[1:14:04] guy's got no life i'm not even gonna

[1:14:06] yell at him

[1:14:07] um and there was something else that

[1:14:08] happened right after that it just it's

[1:14:10] the instantaneous anger of people on the

[1:14:12] road even when they're in not like it's

[1:14:15] questionable that they shouldn't be

[1:14:17] angry about it but why is like always

[1:14:19] the first reaction anger

[1:14:22] like i mean i think it's just a base

[1:14:23] human reaction when people get scared or

[1:14:26] they get bothered in any way they go to

[1:14:28] attend for no reason did we talk

[1:14:30] about we i know i brought it up last

[1:14:32] time this last video about carton arcs

[1:14:36] okay so greg my buddy greg he posted on

[1:14:38] our one of our chat things about carton

[1:14:40] arcs and it's this dude who goes in

[1:14:42] parking lots and looks for people that

[1:14:45] left their cart just look it up on

[1:14:46] youtube if you haven't seen it

[1:14:48] this dude goes to parking lots with like

[1:14:50] a wand and like a vest and he looks for

[1:14:52] people that literally do not put their

[1:14:54] cards back in the cart corral or

[1:14:56] whatever you want to call it the cart

[1:14:58] storage leave it right next to their car

[1:15:00] because they're so lazy and then he

[1:15:01] calls them out on the fact that they

[1:15:03] left their card out and i mean obviously

[1:15:05] he only posts the most

[1:15:07] you know ridiculous ones where people go

[1:15:09] off on them but it's unbelievable to me

[1:15:11] that you could go through all these

[1:15:13] videos and see how angry people get one

[1:15:15] of the comments said someone one of the

[1:15:16] videos he got a gun pulled on them i

[1:15:18] didn't see that one i i know nothing

[1:15:21] about what you're talking about okay but

[1:15:22] the immediate reaction is yes he's

[1:15:25] poking the bear which i get right that's

[1:15:27] the only way he'd have views on the

[1:15:28] internet if he was poking the bear but

[1:15:30] the fundamental principle is

[1:15:32] if you're approached by somebody in a

[1:15:34] parking lot that says hey can you return

[1:15:36] your cart i'm gonna put a magnet on your

[1:15:38] car saying that you're a lazy bones he

[1:15:40] calls people lazy bones it's stupid um

[1:15:43] and it's like he's trying to tell them

[1:15:45] by you leaving the cart here somebody

[1:15:47] can't park here or you can damage

[1:15:48] somebody else's property that's that's

[1:15:50] the overwhelming thing other than

[1:15:52] telling people they're lazy for not

[1:15:54] returning the cards and these people

[1:15:55] they do not unders like they literally

[1:15:57] cannot process that thought of a lot of

[1:16:00] the excuses are i pay people i pay to

[1:16:03] shop here they should move the cart

[1:16:04] forward i was i was talking to alex my

[1:16:06] buddy alex about this and nothing new

[1:16:08] carton arts but he was saying like one

[1:16:10] of the societal tests that you're a good

[1:16:11] person or not is you put away your

[1:16:13] shopping cart because you aren't you

[1:16:15] aren't incentivized to put back your

[1:16:16] shopping cart but you're doing it to be

[1:16:18] a good

[1:16:19] just to be a responsible human being and

[1:16:21] people who don't do that or but these

[1:16:23] the the people that are freaking out

[1:16:25] obviously are being pushed to the limit

[1:16:27] right they're they're like being pushed

[1:16:28] to have this reaction more

[1:16:29] idiots to begin with but to the again

[1:16:32] it's about the de-escalation you have

[1:16:33] that choice of like this guy's nuts he's

[1:16:36] actually standing out here with a wand

[1:16:37] and a vest to get me to return my cart

[1:16:39] out of just out of the pure funniness of

[1:16:42] it i'm gonna return my cart and like

[1:16:43] de-escalate it and laugh and then he

[1:16:45] doesn't have any content but the people

[1:16:47] that will literally chase him or create

[1:16:49] like calling the cops or going into the

[1:16:50] store to complain to the manager that

[1:16:52] somebody asked them to put their card

[1:16:53] away it's that

[1:16:54] i i don't think they look at the

[1:16:56] property part like you and i think the

[1:16:58] cart is going to damage a car right just

[1:17:00] the property damage part is enough alone

[1:17:02] to do that but okay you rule that out

[1:17:05] you don't care about other people's

[1:17:06] property what would be the incentive to

[1:17:08] get somebody to return their car in some

[1:17:10] airports they give you like a penny or

[1:17:11] something but wait i mean the little

[1:17:13] trolleys

[1:17:15] do people are

[1:17:16] it's weird like again it's about the car

[1:17:18] part like this dude freaking out about

[1:17:20] me and even though he was in the wrong

[1:17:21] way but he was yelling at me like it's

[1:17:23] the same mentality with people in cars

[1:17:26] do you think cars embolden people to

[1:17:28] become more like i think people forget

[1:17:30] it's like the cars are kind of like the

[1:17:31] internet yeah or in that there's a

[1:17:33] community who said this it's like you

[1:17:34] know if you were if you were in line at

[1:17:37] the store and somebody cut you off or

[1:17:39] you were in an elevator and someone

[1:17:40] bumped in front of you

[1:17:42] you there's no way you would say what do

[1:17:44] you you know what you would in a car you

[1:17:46] want to like flip them off and scream at

[1:17:47] them right that's true cars embolden

[1:17:49] people and i think it's like the

[1:17:50] internet right you think they they think

[1:17:52] they can hide or be shielded by it it's

[1:17:54] that's a good point like and that's some

[1:17:56] of the stuff with the internet that's

[1:17:57] become more prevalent and i thought

[1:17:59] about this today on the way here because

[1:18:00] i really screwed up my point earlier but

[1:18:03] the the the thing with

[1:18:05] um the internet in social media is

[1:18:07] really interesting because it in the

[1:18:09] past i would say when do you think

[1:18:11] social media really was prevalent like

[1:18:13] 15 years in the past 15 years

[1:18:15] realistically when it's become real

[1:18:17] i think the last 10 years is where it's

[1:18:19] just been supercharged okay so 10 years

[1:18:22] you've created a fundamental new global

[1:18:24] language like it really is a new

[1:18:26] language for people they have to learn

[1:18:28] how to not only interact without

[1:18:30] interacting to your point like you could

[1:18:32] not go into the office in a major job

[1:18:35] and get away with saying half the

[1:18:37] that we say on the internet you would be

[1:18:39] without a job there's there's no

[1:18:41] standard for internet like communication

[1:18:44] for a lot of people and it's because

[1:18:46] it's these two separate worlds i feel

[1:18:48] like the car thing is very similar like

[1:18:52] you couldn't go up to somebody in a

[1:18:53] store to your point like if there was

[1:18:54] some lady that like literally walked in

[1:18:56] front of me i would have to have some

[1:18:57] couth about coming up like ma'am you

[1:18:59] just cut me off or a guy it doesn't

[1:19:01] matter i'm not talking about i'm not it

[1:19:03] could be anybody like you literally

[1:19:04] stepped in front of me and took my spot

[1:19:06] you know and that you'd have a normal

[1:19:08] dialogue hopefully where the person

[1:19:09] would be like oh go yourself i'm

[1:19:11] gonna kill you i'm gonna kill your

[1:19:13] family but on the internet or in the

[1:19:15] cars people go from like normal human

[1:19:17] beings to like pure ape like pure

[1:19:21] silverback style and it's just the

[1:19:23] psychology behind it fascinates me and

[1:19:26] also why i was so triggered i was ready

[1:19:28] to turn into an ape with my dad in the

[1:19:30] car you know what i mean like why is it

[1:19:32] so like because you're i don't know man

[1:19:35] anyway back to questions mark

[1:19:37] uh

[1:19:38] oh one of them one of the non-paid

[1:19:40] questions that came up like five times

[1:19:42] is why are you okay with the challenger

[1:19:45] scat pack or whatever the hell the v8

[1:19:47] model is and not the kia stinger

[1:19:52] because the scat pack

[1:19:55] has a v8

[1:19:57] and a zf transmission and double

[1:19:59] wishbone suspension

[1:20:01] uh no that's that's that's a fair

[1:20:03] question the stinger

[1:20:05] i i think fundamentally what bothers me

[1:20:08] about the stinger and i know you will

[1:20:09] probably agree because it's a korean car

[1:20:12] is they took a really great platform

[1:20:15] nerfed it and then tried to over market

[1:20:17] the hell out of it into something that

[1:20:19] it wasn't and then when you drive it

[1:20:21] knowing that they were essentially

[1:20:23] trying to copy a mercedes

[1:20:25] audi bmw to try to become a german car

[1:20:28] and then you drive it and realize it's

[1:20:30] nothing like the german cars that it's

[1:20:31] trying to be it's like a budget

[1:20:33] rear-wheel drive car that doesn't have

[1:20:35] the great dynamics and to be fair the

[1:20:37] scat pack does not

[1:20:39] either but the scat pack

[1:20:41] makes noises it has a great automatic

[1:20:43] transmission

[1:20:45] or you can get it doesn't matter and a

[1:20:46] real manual that's great and you can go

[1:20:49] sideways

[1:20:50] with no electronics hampering your

[1:20:52] driving experience and if there it's a

[1:20:54] real like muscle car feel whereas

[1:20:57] the stinger is hyper confused that it

[1:20:59] was trying to be something it was what

[1:21:01] they were trying to do they were not

[1:21:02] honest about that's why i don't like

[1:21:04] it's not an honest card that doesn't

[1:21:06] mean it's bad because like you can make

[1:21:08] the same argument about like the audi s

[1:21:10] whatever pile it is the copycat

[1:21:13] someone's already answered your question

[1:21:14] for you red wine is fine just said

[1:21:16] because the stinger never won at

[1:21:18] wrestlemania

[1:21:19] [Laughter]

[1:21:20] okay leave it at that

[1:21:23] the the people the people on the

[1:21:24] comments of people watching this are

[1:21:26] infinitely smarter than we are combined

[1:21:29] so now you need to pool your ai like all

[1:21:32] your consciousness i'm gonna upload you

[1:21:33] into the matrix yeah you can answer

[1:21:35] these questions change your code and

[1:21:36] i'll just be as smart as everybody on

[1:21:38] here uh

[1:21:40] alex t for five dollars is someone

[1:21:42] planning to learn manual soon will the

[1:21:44] civic si slash integra be the best daily

[1:21:46] driver option of all things considered

[1:21:48] probably

[1:21:50] i mean i don't know about the integra

[1:21:51] because of the cost excuse me i have a

[1:21:53] business meeting i have to attend to

[1:21:55] answer a couple questions look

[1:21:58] i know you hate me already it's okay

[1:22:02] i'll be back you're gonna meet your mic

[1:22:03] this time no it's not i'm not actually

[1:22:05] going to the toilet

[1:22:08] um

[1:22:09] gideon loveland thank you for your 10

[1:22:12] donation

[1:22:13] i'm going to circle back alex the

[1:22:15] for the five people still watching

[1:22:17] we did a comparison test with all of the

[1:22:21] what's called affordable subcompact cars

[1:22:24] while the si was probably my least

[1:22:26] favorite out of the bunch from a purely

[1:22:29] performance perspective

[1:22:31] you get a lot of car for your money i

[1:22:33] think it's like in the

[1:22:34] mid-27s

[1:22:36] and it comes with everything you could

[1:22:38] possibly want as a daily driver it has a

[1:22:40] good gear box

[1:22:42] in between rev match

[1:22:43] and the fact that the actual pedal box

[1:22:45] and the shifter are great and relatively

[1:22:48] easy to use should be a perfect car to

[1:22:50] learn how to drive manual on and it's a

[1:22:52] car that you will enjoy driving

[1:22:54] um

[1:22:56] gideon again thank you for the ten

[1:22:57] dollars miss am for ten dollars thank

[1:23:00] you guys for your work and please keep

[1:23:03] producing and more instagram posts

[1:23:05] please well mark and i are attempting to

[1:23:07] step up our instagram game for what

[1:23:09] that's worth so we are trying kevin

[1:23:11] pearson for five dollars i'd love to

[1:23:13] know who picks the music for transitions

[1:23:15] in each video so the breakdown of work

[1:23:18] um

[1:23:19] i run the business out of this i deal

[1:23:21] with trying to get cars all of the other

[1:23:23] aspects of this and

[1:23:24] we do some professional work as well

[1:23:26] um and i do most of the filming day in

[1:23:29] and day out for many of the regular cars

[1:23:31] the bigger projects mark and i work on

[1:23:34] together or if it's a project mark is

[1:23:36] particularly passionate about and i

[1:23:37] don't care mark will do it himself the

[1:23:39] editing is all mark so uh the

[1:23:42] transitions are him even though here and

[1:23:44] there i have suggestions

[1:23:46] um

[1:23:49] hectica for five dollars uh

[1:23:52] g20 m340i x drive or 2018 f 80 m3

[1:23:56] assuming the m3 is only five grand more

[1:23:59] m3 dude

[1:24:00] yeah uh the m3 is probably a worse daily

[1:24:04] driver the interior doesn't have all the

[1:24:06] latest toys but the f-80 is a really

[1:24:09] special car and

[1:24:11] you you should not be afraid if you buy

[1:24:14] the f don't buy the f-80 if you're

[1:24:16] worried about putting miles on it

[1:24:18] because the f-80 does have certain value

[1:24:21] at this point in time and i'm sure as

[1:24:23] you pile miles onto it the value will

[1:24:25] plummet but that car is best used day in

[1:24:28] and day out and then you get to enjoy

[1:24:30] the fact that at any moment's notice you

[1:24:32] can turn off your action control and go

[1:24:33] sideways

[1:28:19] um hazel green for ten dollars

[1:28:21] 2008 porsche cayman s

[1:28:24] tiptronic versus

[1:28:26] 2010 nissan 370z manual what are your

[1:28:29] thoughts is used car purchase

[1:28:31] what do you start tommy

[1:28:34] tayman from 2008

[1:28:36] good going chief um and a

[1:28:40] versus a 2010 um

[1:28:43] nissan 370z

[1:28:47] i'd probably go 370z i know that's

[1:28:49] sacrilege but

[1:28:51] i think you're going to get you can get

[1:28:52] a lot more into it and a lot more out of

[1:28:54] it just by tinkering around if that's

[1:28:56] what you want to do if you're going to

[1:28:57] leave it alone then cayman

[1:29:00] i hate the 370z

[1:29:02] like i mean people now from

[1:29:04] but he's probably not wrong the

[1:29:06] tiptronic part i can't remember if the

[1:29:08] 2008 was a pdk car or not i think the

[1:29:10] dot 2 was the first pdk

[1:29:12] um

[1:29:13] i wouldn't get a cayman as an automatic

[1:29:15] man if you manual came in versus

[1:29:18] um

[1:29:19] 370z

[1:29:21] i would probably get the game i can't

[1:29:24] believe you do this you have a family to

[1:29:26] worry about

[1:29:28] they're up

[1:29:29] they all left me

[1:35:34] m3 cooper convertible review um i'd love

[1:35:38] to do one

[1:35:39] uh i'm made a mistake of not taking up

[1:35:42] one of the owners earlier he then

[1:35:43] proceeded to modify the e46 into

[1:35:45] oblivion one day i will do an e46 m3

[1:35:48] video and i promise it'll be amazing

[1:35:50] yeah the thing with the e46 stuff is one

[1:35:52] we're not going to be able to get any

[1:35:53] support on it from like x people that

[1:35:55] worked on it the one place uh eag is it

[1:35:59] eag yeah yeah yeah eag um

[1:36:02] even though that sadly the original

[1:36:03] owner passed away his brother took over

[1:36:06] i'd probably reach out to them and get

[1:36:07] some support like they helped us for the

[1:36:08] z4m video yeah i guess that would be

[1:36:10] that would be a way to do support but we

[1:36:12] wouldn't have manufacturer support on

[1:36:13] nope zero

[1:36:15] um

[1:36:42] total them out be like all these cars

[1:36:43] were just defective and then

[1:36:45] have a question mark in the the

[1:36:47] thumbnail where

[1:36:48] i'm grabbing my head in your head and

[1:36:50] i'm like sitting there on the phone

[1:36:51] calling my insurance company in the tow

[1:36:53] trucks in the background and i have six

[1:36:54] million views and then i buy your family

[1:36:58] i become the biggest mogul on the

[1:37:00] internet um chris for seven dollars

[1:37:03] canadian where is dj shrimp scampi i

[1:37:07] thought we were going to be serenaded by

[1:37:08] some nice artisanal beats well

[1:37:12] i said this at the beginning of the live

[1:37:13] stream if you're if you're too uh deaf

[1:37:15] to hear it

[1:37:17] uh

[1:37:18] look he didn't make it

[1:37:21] what more do you want from me dominic

[1:37:24] for five dollars mark in your final

[1:37:25] thoughts the alpha 4c you call it one of

[1:37:27] the most fun rewarding cards you've

[1:37:28] driven in years does that hold up today

[1:37:30] yes

[1:37:31] now mark was bought out by alfa romeo

[1:37:33] they they gave they took him to his

[1:37:35] favorite italian restaurant the olive

[1:37:37] garden

[1:37:38] yeah they they sent over their remember

[1:37:40] that was the only time in the car show

[1:37:42] that i just shook my head and was like

[1:37:44] what the hell is happening they because

[1:37:45] they're the only ones that had like the

[1:37:46] models by their booth by the alpha cars

[1:37:49] and i'm like the girls looked horribly

[1:37:52] uncomfortable

[1:37:53] like because you had all these sweaty

[1:37:55] lonely journalists who finally saw

[1:37:58] in in chin faces word words femoid

[1:38:01] spotted

[1:38:05] poor women no no

[1:38:07] yeah anyway that regardless of that um

[1:38:10] yeah it's a special car i mean it's it's

[1:38:12] highly highly flawed

[1:38:14] one of my one of the more entertaining

[1:38:17] uh podcasts i've listened to had chris

[1:38:19] harris talking about his launch program

[1:38:21] of the four scene how he got thrown out

[1:38:22] of it

[1:38:23] because he made fun of the 4c for having

[1:38:26] uh double wishbone front strut rear he

[1:38:29] said it was like an rc car that you the

[1:38:31] engineers didn't see humor and then they

[1:38:33] kicked them out

[1:38:35] it has really weird stuff i get i get it

[1:38:37] i mean i understand it and the the

[1:38:39] mindset was they

[1:38:41] for what they tried to do with it there

[1:38:43] was not enough room that's the packaging

[1:38:46] same problem so i mean they just sit in

[1:38:47] the front instead it's not a great car

[1:38:51] objectively it's not particularly fast

[1:38:53] in a straight line nor is it like a

[1:38:55] lotus a lease or an exegen it's not as

[1:38:56] good to drive as the lotus elites er

[1:38:58] siege but you really do it's a wonder

[1:39:00] what other carbon tub car can you even

[1:39:02] name

[1:39:03] that was in that price right it doesn't

[1:39:04] exist

[1:39:06] uh

[1:39:07] a lemon 570s yeah right but you know

[1:39:10] what i mean like there was something

[1:39:11] very special about driving that you

[1:39:13] couldn't put your your finger on

[1:39:15] i think it was a lost opportunity not to

[1:39:16] fully develop it but i'm sure they ran

[1:39:18] out of money i would have loved to see a

[1:39:20] manual on that car i could have used it

[1:39:22] yeah i think so i've never actually

[1:39:23] driven one so i'm probably the wrong

[1:39:24] person i think you'd really like it if

[1:39:26] you fit in it

[1:39:28] you'd be like man this thing's horrible

[1:39:29] but it's amazing

[1:39:30] texas are for 28 dollars canadian thank

[1:39:33] you for the 28 canadian i'm a field rep
