  1. Great video guy, fucking great. I tried explaining this to a kid who was looking to buy his first car. He wanted a Mustang. I was brutally honest with him and told him he'd most likely wouldn't make it pass 21. I directed him towards FWD or AWD first just to get used to being on the road, seeing signs, seeing people and understanding how to recognize driver patterns to see accidents before they happen. Distracted drivers, etc. Driving in the rain and snow. In MD we get ice. In certain areas you literally can't drive anything but a high clearance vehicle due to high tides where we get regularly 2ft - 4ft of standing water. Shit sometimes 5ft depending on where you're standing. Downtown literally just becomes a canoe zone or for lifted trucks with snorkel's. Young driver's at least use your first year of driving behind a fwd car, literally just to get your mental right. RWD cars are less forgiving to rookie mistakes. Tires, *****Gearing*****, Weight reduction, Fuel, Brakes, Brake fluid, Trans fluid & Cooling, Wheel size and removing energy drainers. Bigger wheels are slower. Anything 18" and lower. Tire profile is important for COMPRESSION. F1 literally only just switched to 18" from 13" wheels just for cosmetic reasons to build the fan base more. The fastest cars on the planet use HIGH PROFILE tires. Dragster, 6s Street cars, F1 cars, Nascar's, Trophy Trucks, Rally Cars that accelerate faster than every track car on the planet that's not on a dragstrip. Aside from bigger brake rotors, there's no reason for big wheels.

  2. Not to make it political, but there's a guy who wants us to keep our cars. Also EVs won't be fully efficient for a very long time while the technology matures.

  3. Wow, feels like you were listening in on my conversation with a valet. He thought he needed a turbo in his Civic. I asked had he changed tires? Nope. How about coilovers? Nope. Any weight reduction? Nope. Exhaust? Nope. Just a K&N air filter 🤦🏾‍♂️ Stock wheels? Yep. What about brakes? Nah I changed the pads. So you want more power with no way to really support it 😆 you know you'll need a tune right... Technically gearing will give the biggest change in performance but not as cheap as weight reduction, tires, brakes and coilovers.

  4. Oh shit this the dude 😳😳😳😳 omfg I saw this dude last weekend 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was just commenting about that hula bobble head 😅 I was driving right next to him down Rowe Blvd, that thing is tall too man it looked cool.

  6. Haha, I seen one last weekend during the Navy game in Maryland. Right hand drive and all. It was a Navy blue color so I'm assuming he was pro Navy. He had a hula bobble head up front.

  7. Modern cars would photograph well if y'all used the correct lens 🤦🏾‍♂️ 100mm or higher (90mm is ok)

  8. So you mean to tell me Tom Cruise was the best and worst thing to happen to America at the same time? 😭 This man increased the Navy recruitment by 500% and Harley complaining about Japanese inventory dump on the US.

  9. Lol you missed the Toyota Supra Mark IV 😆 that was a total flop. 3000GT/Stealth +140k sales Supra Mark IV barely over 11k 😭 In a down market I might add, the 3S still sold 12x the Supra Mark IV and out performed it everywhere while being heavier. For the incoming comments that may quote magazine's. Do your research first b/c many of the US journalist didn't properly review cars until a few years ago. So look up Best Motoring where the Japanese actually drove the cars with professional race driver's. Now a great video would be, why the 3000GT is so hated?

  10. Can you go over ALL WEATHER tires? Toyo Celsius, Nokian WR G4, Firestone Weathergrip. Also to explain why they are different from All-Season. I've been using the Nokian WR G4 on my E350 and so far so good. I think I'm creeping up to 30k miles.

  11. Thinking about F1 going full electric and I actually don't mind now. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Why, well it's about what we have already. We haven't seen teams having to fix engines during races for a very long time. Fuel stops no longer exist. When a engine goes or has an issue it's typically a DNF. So going E 🤦🏾‍♂️ does it change the history of F1?

  14. I celebrated Paul by arguing about how much of an impact he had on the Supra, R34 and RX-7 😅 loved guy. I think we all shed a tear during his last film, even made it meme 🤣 I still laugh very hard when he put on that bodysuit 😭😭😭😭 and was calling for Vin Diesel 😆😆😆😆 Tyrese was like you are not about tie me into this...Vin Diesel 😭😭😭 I can literally hear Paul. He's missed very much.

  16. Good energy (tone down maybe .5) You're a tad overexposed, set exposure to the highlight on your cheek. Love me a 3S. Thanks for making the video.

  19. I used that a lot until I lost it. I think they made a big one at some point.

  20. As for the Viper. They should've only made the Challenger/Charger automatic and the Viper manual with a sequential option. But that would have destroy the Challenger/Charger. Why they didn't put in an automatic makes no sense and why they didn't fix the exhaust heat issue really makes no sense. I think they should've asked Mercedes for ESP help and moved the exhaust out back with heavy heat shielding like use gold the way the old McLaren did. You make a tamed version so the damn thing sells. Then you make a limited run manual option so it appreciates in value much like the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 with its gated 6spd. One of the biggest issues for that car is the tires. You damn near can't drive that thing in the rain on a staggered setup yet alone with 355 rears 🤦🏾‍♂️ A few tweaks could have made this car sell. Namely a dual clutch. Could've kept the center shifter just with a auto manual option. Cost the same as a GTR, is faster (around a track) with a better interior, more reliable and in my opinion better looking. Damn shame

  24. Hey about the weight, ummmmm the Supra weight about the same. Weight Current R35 -------- 3800 lbs Current NSX ------- 3800 lbs (basically an new version of the 3000GT with a Honda badge) 3000GT --------------- 3700 lbs Supra ------------------ 3600 lbs 300ZX ----------------- 3500 lbs Current 370Z ------ 3200 lbs Current Supra ------ 3200 lbs R34 --------------------- 3100 lbs R33 --------------------- 3100 lbs R32 --------------------- 3100 lbs NSX -------------------- 2700 lbs

  25. Lol we had an eruption 🌋 recently. Talking to a Navy guy the other day he was saying the same thing about Yellowstone because the planet is in a heat cycle

  26. You guys should review the BullDozer the one where the guy built a BullDozer and wrecked a town, that was freakish.

  27. Just a response to the question. They more than likely don't know what they're doing. When it comes to cars overall VW (Toyota & Lexus) is about the only one that gets the auto industry. When you look at Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and realize the reason they are partnered with VW is they didn't know how to run profitable businesses after the economy changed. Key word PROFITABLE. Acura for years has been a bit of a confused child. Simply ask yourself, what is Acura known for? That's the reason they're failing, b/c they are known for NOTHING, other than 90s light weight, compact, sports car styled, reliable, 2 door, hatchback Integras LITERALLY. *Pretty accurate after watching the video.
