4-Wheel Balloon CarDesign Squad

Go, go, go, go, go, yay! I'm Nate from Design Squad
and I'm here with: All of us are designing
different balloon cars. It's got a carton for a body, a half a plastic cup, four foam balls for wheels. I think big DVD wheels
will roll really easy. Go! NATE:
When we release the balloon...

(Laughing) the rubber on the balloon
squeezes the air out... (Squeaking) which makes the balloon go... It goes everywhere
and it's crazy. NATE: Now we're going to add
a straw, because what it does is it makes the balloon go from
going in a crazy direction...

To a straight direction. The propulsion technology
we're using here is a lot like a jet or a rocket. When the balloon squeezes air
out the nozzle, it makes thrust in
the opposite direction that makes the balloon and
the car want to go that way. ANNA:
Racers ready.

(Panting) On your marks, get set... Go! NATE: I just can't get
mine to go straight. DESI:
I don't really think it was because it
would go like that. I think it was because
it would go like that.

NATE: I think you might
be onto something. This side to side motion
made it not go straight. So I took this front axle,
and I changed its angle just a little bit so hopefully it corrected it
and now it goes straight. A.J., I challenge you! Racers, get your engines pumped! Go! (Yells) Oh, now they're both going.

Good race. Go. Go, go, go, go, go! Yay! I won! I have an idea of how we can
scale this up a little bit. What I've got here is
a fire extinguisher attached to a tricycle.

Balloon car. But with a little more pressure
involved. So let's try this out. Go! NATE: Now, the balloon cars
used a jet of air to move.

There's lots of other things
around that use jets of air: a fire extinguisher,
a jet pack and a jet. Whoo! Don't try this at home. Just make a balloon car at home. (Kids cheering) NATE: Instructions to build
your own balloon car are on the Design Squad website..

1st place Mousetrap Car Ideas- using SCIENCE

This is a mousetrap car. They're common for competitions in high school physics classes. Just like the egg drop challenge or building toothpick bridges. The goal is to build a car that travels the furthest or goes the Fastest, but in either case the only power provide to move the car is from a single...

Mousetrap. So today I'm going to show you how to win first place by building some cars with the World-record holder. Then we're gonna go to the West Coast Championships to see all these principles in action, and wait don't leave! I know that 99.7% Of you have never, nor will ever make one of these, but I will break down in simple terms how I know this car will go twice as far as this one, and then I'll prove it. And then we'll discuss why you see these DVD wheels so often, but do they work? And why do some winning cars have wheels that look like this? But before we fly all the way out the Texas to meet the world record holder, I need to lay the foundation for the one overarching fundamental physics principle behind the mousetrap car.

It's called mechanical advantage and to do that I'm gonna need my niece and nephews. "Imma bet you guys I could lift my car off the ground using just my pinkies. If I can't do it, you can have this crisp Benjamin but if I can, you guys have to buy me ice cream. Deal?" "I said nothing else but your Pinky!" "I am using just my pinkies.

"No just your pinkies." "That's what I'm doing!" "This is really good you guys. Thank you." If you're willing to move a greater distance. You're able to reduce the amount of force and by a proportional amount. I can't lift 500 pounds worth of car one time.

But I could lift 10 pounds 50 times. A mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force over the input force. So in this case it's 50. That means my hand had to travel 50 times further than just lifting the car in one shot.

But the weight was 50 times less, so it was totally worth it. This principle of mechanical advantage is everywhere. Let's take a look at a few examples. If I have 4 pulleys that means I have to pull the rope down 4 times further than the dumbbell goes up.

But in exchange, it feels four times lighter, so this has a mechanical advantage of 4. For the ramp you look at the ratio of the length to the height. Your mechanical advantage therefore is 2.2. And that means I have to travel a little further, But the brick should feel 2.2 Times lighter pulling up the ramp versus just pulling the brick straight up.

And sure enough if you measure each with a scale This is exactly what you see. If you think about it a screw is just a ramp wrapped around a nail. So here you look at this has traveled around the thread and divided by the space in between the threads to get a mechanical advantage of 9 And as you know if you really want to multiply your force use a ratchet wrench Now that is since your hand travels for one full rotation is 300 times longer than the distance the screw moves vertically between one thread the total mechanical advantage is 300 It's like a really long short ramp So if this scale reads 6 pounds the actual clamping force would be 300 times more or nearly a ton And with wheels and axles it's the same story since this wheel diameter is twice what this one is as you could probably guess by now this weight weighs twice as much so now we're balanced with a mechanical advantage of 2 And you'll also notice if I move this [the bigger wheel] the lesser weight travels twice as far and finally we have levers Which is where we started with my niece and nephews, here if you compare the ratio of the distances from the pivot point we have A mechanical advantage of 4 which of course means I have to move this end four times further But it's super easy because it's 1/4 the weight on this side, and in all of these examples Which you see everywhere around us you trade lower force for more distance traveling This is how humans built amazing things before all these fancy machines with engines came around Human muscles are totally strong enough as long as you're willing to spend a little more distance to do the task, and so this principle Mechanical advantage is at play over and over again with the mousetrap cars only in reverse. It works both ways in other words I don't want the full force of the spring acting over this tiny distance to act directly on the wheels or they would spin out That would be a very inefficient Transfer of energy from the spring, so we use mechanical advantage and make the main lever arm 15 times longer than the spring lever arm, and in the wheel diameter is 24 times bigger than the wheel axle so then if we multiply them our total mechanical advantage is 1 over 360.

That means the force is 360 times less right here on the output at the wheels to the floor Versus right here on the input on the spring. It also means will travel 360 times further than the distance this spring arm rotates. All right So that's enough of a foundation for now let's go to Texas and meet up with my buddy Al, to build some racecars USA Not only is he the mousetrap car world record holder, but he also kind of started the whole thing, and he was Texas high school physics teacher of the year, and since my dream job is to one day switch from working as an engineer In the private sector, to go teach high school physics somewhere. I made him show me all his cool demos.

I came up with this idea back in 1991 and since that time I have literally built thousands and thousands of mousetrap cars myself I've seen every possible engineering design you could ever come up with There's lots of different variations for rules for a mousetrap car race. Let's talk about how to build the best Long-distance car first for our testing we started with three identical cars the only difference was the length of the lever arm So one was short one was medium, and one was long, and I've calculated each of their mechanical advantages Which you can see written here given what we know about mechanical advantage. What do you think is about to happen? As you might have guessed the short lever arm car takes a strong early lead this makes sense because it has the largest mechanical advantage therefore the highest force Where the wheels and ground meet the downside is that it's a short-lived burst and the medium and long lever arm cars pass it once? It's quickly used up all its energy In the end this is how far they each traveled with the longest lever arm car going the slowest but making it all the way to 30 feet this brings up the first principle for the long distance car to win you won the smallest possible force over the longest possible Distance in other words the smallest fraction for mechanical advantage possible you want your car to be barely creeping forward To waste as little energy as possible You think as a total energy of the spring as this amount of water in this cup and then this cup represents the amount of energy that's passed on to your car to move it forward if you just quickly dump it all the energy a ton spills and splashes out this will be due to losses from extra heat generated or even drag force from the wind which is proportional To your velocity squared, but if you do it slowly and more controlled much more energy Goes to actually moving your car forward the next thing we tested was adding Graphite to the axles on all three of the cars, and then we raced them This made a huge difference and now they went this far Again the longest lever arm car one because it was the slowest but this shows the importance of dealing with friction It's definitely your biggest enemy with these cars and the friction comes from two spots You have the rolling friction between the wheels and the ground and then the biggie is between their axles and the car body This is why we put the lubricating graphite powder there to take our testing a step further we took the long lever arm car and Added ball bearings and place at the graphite and that set a new record for us at 50 feet so if you only have one hour to make your car And you want to have a good showing you can use a long lever arm like this in conjunction with the CD wheels To give you a mechanical advantage of about one over 360 and then use ball bearings at the axles or just apply some graphite and you're gonna do pretty well Next we figured if long lever arms make it travel slower and therefore further. We should do a super long lever arm But it only made it to here which was worse than even the short lever arm car the problem was that it didn't Coast very Well because we had to make it really big, which means it's more.

Heavy, which means more friction You know this already intuitively because it's harder to push a heavy object on a table than a light object because there's more friction Resisting you so principle. Three is to make it lightweight I love this example though because it shows you need to balance these principles if you take any one of them too far Then another principle will creep in and start penalizing you. It's an optimization problem And that's what makes the mousetrap reasoner's such a great project That's also why testing is so important so tweaking and testing different things like Allen I did is critical for honing in on the sweet spot for your specific design next we tried this big wheel design which is a popular approach the Strategy here is the wheel is? 56 Times larger than the wheel axle so when you combine it with the lever arm you get a built in mechanical advantage of one? Over 840 and that's the equivalent of her arm That's two and a half feet long But without needing the big heavy car that seems like a good deal and as such it was our best car yet? And made it all the way to here the downside is that it takes energy to get a big wheel like that? Rotating it's called rotational inertia Here's a demo I built to showcase his principle these two wheels are identical except this one has the steel weights placed at the outer edge of the wheel Versus near the axle this means it has a higher Rotational inertia so when we spin them both identically the one on the right starts spinning faster And will reach a higher max speed, but the one on the Left will Coast for longer by having bigger Heavy wheels you're basically using them as a temporary storage for your energy And then you give it back during the coasting phase the problem with this is anytime you transfer energy You lose some going back to the cups a little splashes out each time you pour it no matter How slowly you do it? So instead of pouring your spring energy into a big cup and then eventually getting it back in the coasting phase. It's better Just to have reasonable size wheels and just have one slow pour directly near the final cup of making your car move Additionally big wheels like this can be hard to steer so principle four is to reduce rotational inertia This is also why you see people do this to their wheels sometimes It's an effort to keep the wheels large in diameter to get that built-in mechanical advantage But to make them wait less to reduce the energy given to rotational inertia so the final test we ran was Al's world record car which travelled an Astounding 600 feet when he set the record he did some crazy things like using jeweler's bearings on the axles But the real secret is this pulley here in the middle if we look at the ratios and calculate the mechanical advantage from the lever To the pulley to the wheels we're looking at one over four thousand six hundred and eight it's the equivalent of a 16-foot Lever arm or back wheel four and a half feet in diameter But without the downside of the extra weight or wasted rotational inertia This thing barely crawls along it's hard to even see the spring lever arm moving as this back spins It's really hard to beat a design like this And now we'll quickly go through the speed car principle since most of the same principles apply the biggest difference is this time we want To access all the energy from the spring in a short burst right at the beginning Because the finish line is only 15 feet away So it doesn't make sense to have a really small mechanical advantage like the pulley car here We want it much closer to the direct force of the spring itself Which would be mechanical advantage one problem is if we did that the wheels would slip so you basically want to incrementally Increase your mechanical advantage by making your rear axle thicker and thicker with tape until your rear wheels start to slip slipping is bad of course because that's waste of energy because your Wheel is spinning without actually moving your car forward It's helpful to zoom in and use the slow-mo on your phone to see if your wheels are slipping or not this means having good Traction on your rear wheels is important because means you can have higher forces Before you start to slip these squishy foam wheels work great I just like with the distance car Reducing friction by using bearings or graphite will definitely help as well making it lightweight because Newton's second law teaches us that heavier things are Harder to accelerate just like you throw a baseball further than a heavy bowling ball and Smaller diameter wheels not only help by keeping your mechanical advantage closer to one but you don't have time to give energy to these big Wheels and then get it back through coasting you want all that spring energy to go directly into making your car go forward Okay, so those are the basic principles before we head to the west coast mousetrap car championships.

I'll just mention I put a list of 10 practical quick build tips in the video description for example You should soak your bearings in WD-40 to remove all the grease the grease is useful if the bearings are actually seeing a lot of load But since these cars weigh next to nothing It's only gonna slow it down Iced also mentioned that my buddy al has an amazing website called www.Docfizzix.Com or you can buy all the parts I show today to experiment and come up with your own unique design. I also put that link below here we go For this competition the objective was to travel forward 15 feet And then returned back and stopped as close to the exact same spot you started in the least amount of time those moves may seem complicated But you can switch from forward to reverse by simply switching the direction you wrap up your axle halfway through and you can stop at a certain point by using a wing nut On a threaded axle so given the rules your design choices should foster both speed and precision about half the designs relied on Preconceived notions and use CD wheels which are a real bad choice here because you're not looking for distance They have more rotational inertia and poor traction The winning team car which I won't show here because the finals are next month really focused on precision They use ball bearings small foam wheels and they made their car body out of Aluminum it weighs more than balsa wood, so it did cost more energy to friction But there's plenty of energy in the spring for only traveling thirty feet So it was worth the trade-off for the extra rigidity and repeatability they also told me they tested and tweaked their design for six months They're just awesome to hang out and see all the various design approaches Hopefully you learn enough by now to give you a solid foundation for your own unique design So you can, build tests, tweak like crazy, and then dominate the competition I spend way too much time making these dumb videos But I can't help it since I sort of get obsessed because I'm passionate about the content Skillshare.Com not only help make this video possible But their site is full of people just like me except on any topic imaginable Take graphic designer, Aaron Draplin from Portland, Oregon, for example This guy is a savant who became famous for his amazing logo work and design philosophy He's a great teacher, and he's hilarious I learned a ton from going through his course.

1,000 Miles Across India In a $4,000 Car (With $4,000 in Options)

Let me tell you shooting conditions are
tough this is like Le Mans plus cows, minus a sanctioning body. Absolutely nothing
prepared me for what it's like driving across India I'm Alex Roy, I'm Ed Niedermeyer and
we're here at beautiful downtown Chennai on the east coast of India about to
drive this Renault kwid almost a thousand miles to the west coast to
Mumbai previously known as Bombay did you know that? -- I did know that. I usually
cover autonomous vehicles for the drive but there's no better place to
experience human driving than here in India. To an outsider it looks like
complete chaos something that at least today no machine could possibly learn.
Can two Americans who've never been to India actually make it cross country
given the incredible traffic the absence of any traffic law it seems and the
cows.

This is such a bad idea. Here in the beautiful downtown Chennai about to
go to Renault dealership to see what it's like to get a new car. Oh wait who's
this. One of the best things about India is that if you're an animal lover
especially a lover of cows you get this cows everywhere everywhere this is something else I'm the principal
of Renault children meet the delivery coordinator
so what you first see is that they'll first unveil the car so we'll have like
a gray satin power which is covering the car and then we'll do a small which our
ceremony and which is basically to welcome the new member of the family so
it's basically to give good luck and prosperity to the family and under each
of the tyre you see and lemon so basically our sellers we start the
engine they'll run the lemons over till dedicate all the bad omens and bad eyes
and all of that so that's a belief of Indians and a'right after that what we
did was we cut a cake for them to welcome into the Renault family and then
there's a service advisor who give us a brief about how to drive the car and
about the service of the car and so on you ever get that feeling like these
chicanes exist only so the police can sell advertising on the chicane
barriers.

-- I would rather cops work off the
advertising business model than the traffic ticket model. What makes
the Kwid great, value meter absolutely 100 percent absolutely and so, the Tata
Nano is a $4,000 car -- That looks
like a $2,000 car -- Which of course was what its price point was supposed to be at a
certain point when you imagine what a car that starts at $4,000 would be like
you don't imagine this your imagine is gonna be jump but actually try yeah I
mean like a Tata Nano exactly which we have seen some of those on the road here
and let me tell you I would be terrified let's talk about what you get for $4,000
so you get open an 800cc motor for the manual transmission five speeds and a
truck and four wheels it's more like a big hacker has twice as much cargo
capacity as like the other cars in its price range and this is the option of
primer edition is that it has a 1 liter engine
yep I think spelling nineties if I lived in India I would absolutely
be happy on in this car yeah and that's the thing is you know
the person we're driving is about $8,500 so quite a bit more and honestly
everything I like about this car you can get with two option boxes as the 1 litre
engine is is the option box I've acknowledged it I check first and then
AC. Let me tell you shooting conditions are
tough the GoPros are all overheating it's well over 100 degrees the in-car
power is well it's got one power plug we have a long way to go literally any time
we make to Mumbai will be a record at this point I just want to get there in
one piece Check Point to somewhere a few hours
west of Chennai I can't say it's been a tough Drive I'm suffering some kind of
ailment and Sweetie Meyers taking over we are getting coconut water which is
probably very hygienic it's 5:40 p.M. Local we're less than halfway to Hubli
which is less than halfway to Mumbai which means that we're barely a quarter
of the way and we've been on the road for 10 hours every electronic device
I've got has overheated the kwid is an amazing car but it has one problem it
only has one 12-volt outlet and one USB.

Port and it charges devices very very
very slowly other than that it's one of the best cars I've ever driven that's a
good thing because I'm gonna be spending the next 20 hours in it arriving at
least 12 to 15 hours behind schedule in Mumbai somewhere between 1/2 and 3/5 the way to
the halfway point ooh bleep we're gonna have to stop tonight there's no way we
can go all the way to Mumbai in one shot the traffic in India is just absolutely
too terrible luckily our convoy which includes our
support vehicle and another quit is with us I grew up in New York City I thought
I'd seen everything I've been in Mexico Thailand Morocco absolutely nothing
prepared food for what it's like driving across India 9 o'clock 13 hours after
leaving Chennai we're so far behind I've lost track we're gonna stop in Hubli
overnight which is halfway of the entire distance I thought I could drive alone
before I arrived in India thank goodness Peter Meyers here and we've got support
vehicle and a guide car this is like l'm all plus cows - a sanctioning body
indian drivers are the least law-abiding but possibly the best in the world definitely feels like the middle lane is
the safest doesn't it laughs lane has people with like tractors with no lights
people and the right lane has tractors with no lights
oncoming cars and people on scooters yeah we literally just had someone help
me tell you the driving I just saw him do absolutely terrified me I kilometers
which is 70 80 miles an hour which is about the maximum comfortable speed in
this car when I say comfortable I mean I. Would have I've been sleeping through it
I would have been happy that was which you were earlier by the way let's let's
end this conversation I'm awake now so just like the freeway
thing I was I'm so done with that this is fresh machine learned that a fight hey is this it
it is Wow we've arrived in Hubli Niedermayer
did an incredible job of driving that last stage especially we saw it
especially after the support team lost us and took off or disappeared and we
now have game of Google Maps which was pretty hairy that that last thing I've
been to Morocco and Thailand and Baja let me try I've never seen it a fight
break out in the street that almost in Kolff the car that was some hairy hairy
intersection with absolutely zero signage no lights or nothing just kind
of go out into it you kind of go around giant bus and someone coming let's just
say I'm really glad you were driving here in whom Bali India they're many
amazing things to see all of which I've missed because I've arrived five hours
ago and I've got to leave from Mumbai however there is this Treat in the
penthouse of the president hotel taxidermy as you know I love taxidermy
there's no higher love of nature than taxidermy and now it's just a big plush
toy let me say it is not a modern country
this is a real superhighway in here like I figure in sentence 200 kilometers from
Mumbai and I couldn't help but notice this gas stations lovely architecture
also that this is the petrol side that's the diesel side all you meiotic
drivers are slow car fast momentum car use every bit of speed in road
you're talking about you've driven anything in India on an open I can't go back to racing I cannot
believe we're actually racing what is going on in India literally everybody is
basically driving their cart the South Country the last stretch
before reaching Mumbai is no less intense as the roads improved but the
car continues to perform without so much as a hiccup it's clear this is a car
designed and marketed to the very specific needs of India tough minimalist
and affordable and definitely not autonomous this is what ever a no-quit
looks like after driving a thousand miles across India the car in perfectly
but nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me us to automotive
journalists with racing experience but what it was like to drive from Chennai
to Mumbai between the cows the jaywalkers the road conditions the other
drivers the monsoons this was absolutely the most difficult thing I've ever done
in my life in a car and it could not have been done without this Renault kwid
but the real hero of the story is actually the driver of the second
Renault kwid the car that actually beat us at every stage all the way across
India to the finish line of Mumbai and the driver of that car is Sen seal Kumar
and let me tell you a sense he'll know rain Karthikeyan is a coward absolutely
without a question the greatest driver in India has to be you I've never been
beaten in a head-to-head chase like this one all my respect all my respect
brother seriously the man after two days in almost a thousand
miles of barely contained chaos I've never been so sure about how good human
drivers can be in the words of yuan Musk humans are underrated Silicon Valley is
investing billions of dollars in self-driving cars some think they're
inevitable and I completely agree the problem with self-driving cars are
the edge cases the things you cannot predict things like a row of ducks in
the Sahara 48 hours in India made it very clear to me that this entire
country is an edge case you could even call it an edge country however long it
takes to develop self-driving cars for the US market in India add 20 years
actually add 50 based on what I've been told by people working on the problem
here it could be a hundred you.

$3000 Turbo Car Challenge - Moog's Car

In this episode of Mighty Car Mods we are
going to check out this guy's car which I can pretty much guarantee will have
nothing on my mad Evo. When you got $3000 in Australia Martin, and you want to buy a car with it that's turbo and manual there ain't a whole lot of choices But occasionally you look down and sitting right there at your feet is a nugget Isn't it,  just a big brown nugget but in it thats not corn, it's gold isn't it Martin and when you pull that apart and you look at that gold and you stretch it out and you realise you can wrap yourself in it and then look through it's glistening face what's on the other side of it is a
world of untold fortunes, discovery and magic and that is exactly what happened
when I found this car so in this episode I'm going to introduce you to the car that is going
to annihilate. Annihilate, decimate, what's the word when you poo? Desecrate? Desa defecate it's going to my car's going to defecate all over Marty's car. That's basically whats going on so here it is ladies and gentleman I
introduce to you his lack of vocabulary the defecator Hello Martin, Hello Mate How you going mate I'm good, that looks exciting, what's going on there? How weird is Australian money Currency you know Australia money they made it like this way because its  unbreakable like you can't rip it Did you just rip it? Na, na I didn't And look at this Martin, I'll show you what else you can do.

It's waterproof and unbreakable. But Martin. There is holograms on it Oh no sorry I got distracted by how nice that thing is behind you. There is a see through thing on it.

So that's Aussie wet money Umm but Martin. The budget challenge continues Of course last time we saw your umm he is going to be wondering why his money is wet. Ahh last time we saw your incredible 2SEXY Evo how's it going mate? It's the Mitsubishi Evo stancer Is it, oh the stancer Yea Yea, it's a stancer someone called it a stancer the other day and I'm like that's brilliant, I'm borrowing that at the lights the TRD Evo how much was it again $2700 have a guess how much I've got here Martin 3... 3 Grand? No, less $2700? $2700 No, Really? Yes.

So I have brought a car also sight unseen off the internet It's been driven 10 hours umm from way way up north
it's $2,700 With Rego? With rego for six months That's pretty good, that's worth like $700 by its self. So, I could tell you a few things about the car if you want Martin No Ok I don't want to know Alright. Well umm, can you give me a ride to Maccas Yea. Is that where you're getting it from.

Yea Isn't that where you buy Isn't that where you buy and sell cars from, from Maccas? Sure Need that RTA form, computer, monies Let's go buy a car make sure you check the dude's ID. That will dominate all Evos Awesome man Turbo No, no, not your car - mine. Turbo Manual Registered And running by the sounds of it, I don't if my Stancer would make it Two Door Yea see, thats the good thing. When you buy a car and they have to drive it 10 hours then you know it actually works Unless their mate just tipped them off the back of a tow truck.

Remember when I bought my GTI-R. That sucked. He drove it to me and said "Yea, Yea the cars totally fine. And then we got about 2 kilometres before it just blew up Overheated.

That sucked Man, let's go Yea let's go man Ohh, Sorry I'm a bit distracted by how I actually do gotta meet him in like 10 minutes Oh, OK , alright because he had to drive a long way to get here there is
some saving grace in that I've literally only seen a photo of that big on the
Internet haven't seen interior photos haven't
seen any details about all I know is it's registered, turbo and manual and there it is Wow Wow Thanks Darren This is Darren I've just purchased his car He drove down from. Where did you drive down from? Ahh, Byron, Byron bay Byron Bay, wow! Yes How long did it take you to get down here? 11 Hours 11 hours And a seedy hotel Wow What, you'd be used to seedy hotels in Byron bay I've got some crazy stories about Byron Bay actually It's probably for another time Umm, but thanks for driving all this way thanks for the mad car it's just there sitting right there I'm very excited never owned one never driven one don't
know anything about it and now you're getting a bus back to the airport that's
me bus and planes now also thanks man and the car works Beautifully It's going to start and drive? For days and days Is the car going to be faster than a turbo Lancer? What year? 2000 Just front wheel drive? Yes. She should be close Close She'll do her best. Now does it do burnouts? Yes, yes it does.

In second even really Yea yea, first to second Wow Now apparently its zero to 100 in eight seconds from the
factory. Is that correct? Some horses may have fled the paddock Wow, OK. But it's got a new turbo, so New turbo? Yea yea. Now I do understand how much money do you spend on this
car so far? I've put nearly 8 grand into this thing 8.

8 Thousand dollars You won't even notice where it goes. Wow but it's in there but the turbo alone was 1000 bucks Yea And when was that changed? Ummm Less than 6 months ago. 6 Months ago. Wow Yea So Marty's Lancer is going to get thrashed thats what's going to happen and Darren give me the key, and see you later Ahh yes there it is.

So he is on his way with his car It's just ahh I just wanted to take a moment to say it doesn't
matter what he brings nothing will ever chop the Mitsubishi Evo Stancer It just, how could it It's turbo it's just heavily... A heavily modified vehicle
that's what it is like to see a modified vehicle somewhere you go to a car show
you got to like, Autosalon or something is what you gonna see that is what a
modified Mitsubishi Lancer Stancer Evo should be *tyre chirps* Whaaat?! Awwww yess, no you didn't That's awesome! You bought an old Saab That's what i'm talking about dude You're gonna to get chopped hard, but that is so cool man that is what I'm talking about Martin that is so cool I'll just turn the key off that is down here in the middle I legitimately looked up these cars the other day The goosebumps are real I looked up these cars the other day cause I saw how cool they were This is a Saab 900 Turbo 16 valve, an
iconic European performance vehicle that features numerous design elements taken
from Saab's extensive experience with aircraft With a 2L intercooled turbocharged engine
the Saab 900 turbo is capable of reaching speeds of well over 200 kilometers an
hour Ahh I brought it from Byron Bay which is like the hippie marijuana capital of Australia The furthest, I think one of the furthest east most points of the country. Ahh a guy called Darren, he's a bee keeper, but he plays with lathes for fun Umm so this is a 1993 Saab 900 Turbo 16 valve I'm just going to stop you right there I love it Ohh, do ya? I love it so much Thank you Martin. That colour, anyway sorry I interrupted go on tell me more.

Umm, so, umm He is fastidious like he's absolutely fastidious I can tell it's been waxed dude He cleaned it before it got here Umm this it the bit that might frighten you Martin Actually I'll tell you that bit later Let me show you some of the really awesome things inside because there is some really really cool things one of, one of the really rad things is right so normally when you park your car you lock your steering wheel for security right Yea? There is no key So how do you lock your steering wheel Ahh with a bit of wood? Naa, you can't so instead the car when you turn it off the car goes into reverse and the key
won't come out until it's in reverse then you click again and pull the key out,  the car is now locked in reverse Ohh, Thats cleaver. So you can move the steering wheel but
your cars in reverse, no matter what. Which is pretty cool. ABS, heated seats,
air conditioning, stereo The paint is perfect dude 5 speed manual and look at this big chunkyness, now I'm gonna put the bonnet for you Martin It couldn't be more different than
mine I know You've been dropping all these weird hints I thought you were gonna rock up in a starlet or a mirage or something kinda weird like that Now Martin, I'll just pop the bonnet for ya mate You just stay there Martin Ahh, so good You ready? Yep.

No. Ahahahaha What the hell is that? So in here, ahh 2L turbo charged, 16 valve Ahh, new Garrett turbo, just installed. Umm, it's had $8000 spend on it so far by it's owner Umm Intercooled, turbo, fully serviced Wait, I'm going to sound like an absolute newbie, but I know nothing about these cars Yes? That motor is going that way Yep, so the motor is facing backwards, then chain drives down and then reverses and goes back the other way via a chain or something. Is it front or rear wheel drive? Uhh, front.

Yea, I know cause thats Except that's backwards And then it, it it it it goes via a chain and kinda diferential I don't understand Just because Sweden but it's backwards This is Sweden right? Ahh yea. Some really cleaver things though Marty. Like if you if you undo these two bolts here and here that whole thing comes off so I can work on the car eaiser right. Undo these two and drop that out the whole of the front of the card is comes off so you can work on the engine like it's really smart it's really cool.

So it is two door, look at the fuse box like it;s just everything is really clear
everything you need to know right there even the wiring, even what they wrap the wiring in is that high quality cloth tape it's just quality man. This is an expensive car back in the day. Very expensive car Now in the boot. I love the paint man, I can't believe how neat it is You ready for the size, because this blew me away Oh what.

Flat pack and the rear seat goes up and down making that completely flat aswell Look at the condition it's huge man I'm freaking out over the
condition $2700 Martin It's so neat Let me tell you abit more about the owner and how much of a legend he is. I've spent like a total of three minutes with him He just goes "I've also just packed for ya a couple of spares" In here we have Another cv joint, it doesn't even need it done but he needed to do one so he bought two and then left it in there for me in case I need it Oh man, I love car owners like that All of the things the car needs are in here umm in case we need them. Spare parts, documentation, original Saab Toolkit. And look how smart they are, they know that's going to sit like that so this here I expected it just to fall but no, it is just sitting on a thing like that so you can use that as a tool case, which is awesome this is just unreal and the question
everyone wants to know "is it slow?" From the factory zero to 100 in eight seconds that's fast, that's like Golf GTI.

Isn't like a corolla like 10 seconds? Yea but it's heavy too right? Garrett turbos, awesome turbos, plural, but no. Just one In here Martin, how about a complete service history for the last 15 years is that how long he has owned it for? Ahh, no but it was owned by a friend of his Ohh cool and he's got the whole thing and so he has the whole thing all properly done so much money had been spent on from here he's owned it for 2 years and in that time he's spent $8000 on it so why can you only get them for like, why is it $2700 because Saab as a company don't exist anymore it's like
it's not relevant people are not  interested in They got brought by GM. But I've always been interested in them. Never driven one don't know anything about them everything I'm telling you I learned in the last five minutes before the owner had to hop on a bus and leave Um so there is Martin and
it's gonna chop your EVO hard isn't it Do you want to go for a drive? Yea I do, I really really do I love it man I I'm like I'm having like a
nasty thoughts Martin about I'm having two nasty thoughts, one thing just going keep it it's nice and whatever and the other one is telling me what I'm
actually going to do to it and i said to the owner I said if you want to keep it stock then just don't sell it to me like if you if it's going to upset you
cause some people have that feeling and I feel a little bit of
sympathy about what I'm gonna do it or what we gonna put it through and i also have to remember he's had it for sale for months I think he said 8 months.

No one wants it, no one was interested he had people waste his time so I said look I'll take I'll give it a life or a death go out with a bang Umm but, umm dude, you got a neat one though. How good is it buying neat cars this is the opposite of my EVO. I mean my EVO is still going to chop you but it's the opposite experience of my EVO. Which is just grot this is just nice you know what this is Martin, Ill tell you what it is its Saabstantial Are you ready to feel the Saabstantial Power Do it, do it Revs nicely doesn't it feels good hey It's really like really smooth and refined feels like, revs like sake doesn't it Smooth on the I just remember being really smashed of sake you wouldn't remember much I reckon back in the day I may not know the actual figures  - there is a Golf GTI next to us - I reckon back in the early nineties I reckon these would have pumped Golf GTIs.

What do you reckon? Well this was considered a fast car like you go back a long time ago back 25 years or something Yea Umm that wouldn't be slow. What I think is incredible is it's so quiet exactly and 400,000 Km
400,000Km I wouldn't believe that. If I couldn't see that I'd say it had 150 - 200. Like there are some things like wear and tear like roof lining and stuff but overall.

Yea and mean I think everything works your electric window works my electric window works It's your toolbox falling out Saab - "S double A B" - is like Saab aerospace in Swedish. How do you know all this? Dude, I love Saabs Do ya? Ahh, not really the legacy of expensive cars alot of people say I hate Mercedies or BMWs all
these different things I think we have to remember that the R&D that those companies put in they float down down to all the other brands like airbags, like seat belts, I mean these things were not invented by Toyota. It's like that night I came from someone else that were premium items eventually dribble their way down to all these other cars They are building to a price point, it's the same as this it wouldn't have been cheap No way, I mean i don't know the original price, I'm sure someone out there would but when you getting a car that's turbo, intercooled, air conditioning, ABS, heated seats like it's a premium vehicle I think this was
actually kind of Saab's heyday in a way, like these were really really popular I remember as a kid seeing them everywhere. I mean I guess they have died out You every been in one or driven one? No never been in one It's not slow when you look on the internet for turbo cars under $3000 that are manual see the fan speed doesn't control the fan How do you do just face That but that doesn't make any difference
you control it with this Oh that's nice, that's really nice I don't understand it Um but yea when you do a search online for turbo manual cars for under $3000 not much comes up It's one of those things I think now not many people are into them and by not many people I'm talking relative to if you're into Skylines or Minis or Bugs or any of those cool cars Front wheel drive, imagine if this was rear wheel drive Oh they would be all over the place But it's hard to get parts in Australia - you have to get them from ebay or you have to get them from overseas there's a place down in Melbourne that supplies parts for them it's not easy but also the people that are really really into them and those
three guys have a bit of a monopoly on parts which is probably why this one's so tidy cause if you're gonna be into a car that much like, you're gonna look after it aren't you? Yeah, that's right.

I mean, it's one of those things as well you gotta be resourceful, you gotta learn how to fix it yourself and, um, for me, my thing again as usual you know, is I've had a mild interest in them and the thing is, it's so cheap to give people an understanding of, you know, what this is I think, you know, in Australia average wage is what, $700 a week or something like that? Thereabouts. So, you know, save up for a month and you could get one! It's kind of, you know, they're cheap - for what they are. But then they're expensive cause I'm sure upkeep and keeping them running is gonna cost a lot. What I think is hilarious about all this you bought the car I thought I would buy and I bought the car I thought you would buy? Yeah, isn't that funny? Like, you know what I mean? I was like, I coulda gone on something like this something weird and obscure and like, really nice.

But instead I went the complete other direction and got something I'd never buy. Which is good. I'm really happy about it . Well, I also got something that, in a way, I would never buy.

Like if we weren't doing this challenge there's no way I would've bought this. Thing is, I'll go faster cause everyone I drive past just like, loses their mind and just falls off. Oh wow. Men and women.

Everyone I drive past they're just "OH LOOK!" And there's just undies flying everywhere. Sex spec man. That's true. I may win the race but you will definitely get more offers of sex.

Isn't that why you build a sex spec car? I don't know why they do it. I'm sure they call it sex spec for a reason. I remember at Autosalon a few years ago someone had done a sex spec Hiace van and the inside of it they'd turned into a strip club including a pole. Do you remember that one? I do.

We now have the battle of the turbo sex spec Lancer versus Saab 900 Turbo. Like, literally an old man - like a dentist's car. What a battle. Isn't that awesome? And, honest, if mine works, like if I actually make mine work cause currently I don't think it works.

Like, it drops its guts and stuff. If I can get just to the point where it works again I think they'll be - it'll be very interesting. Very, very evenly matched. So I might have to fix my car.

So there it is. That is the mighty Saab. The dominator. The defecator.

It is a race car. It has pure European JDM cred. And it is going to destroy Marty: that is the definition of nugget.
Moog: my man's Evo right here. Marty: and not a nice nugget, a gold nugget
Moog: Oh good.

Nuggets are awesome. Marty: that you find in a river, or dig up from the ground.
Moog: we love nuggets. Marty: it's just an old
Moog: so you're basically gonna get a thing that's held together with tek screws Marty: dentist's
Moog: that doesn't even work, versus something that is engineered Marty: weirdo car.
Moog: by companies that make jets. Moog: that's what's gonna happen Marty: They don't...

They
Moog: ladies and gentleman. You're gonna have a Marty: failed
Moog: fridge on the ground versus a jet in the sky. Marty: They failed so hard that they
Moog: What would you rather ride on? Marty: that they don't even exist.
Moog: do you wanna ride on logs or flyup there? Marty: They don't even exist any more, you can't even buy one.
Moog: With a couple of nice hostesses, and a good pilot. Marty: How many Mitsubishis can you go and buy these days?
Moog: and off you go.

Moog: We could stop talking over each other if you want to listen to me? Marty: I don't wanna listen to you at all? Marty: I don't wanna look at your crap, ugly car either.
Moog: So... So there it is. Moog: So there it is, it's gonna be a Saab vs.

An Evo. Isn't it? Marty: Not really, it's not a real Evo. Marty: and it's not a real good car.
Moog: It's the Saab vs.

The Lancer Moog: and the Lancer will get dominated of course Marty: Nah. It won't. Power to weight,
Moog: Next episode we begin the mods. Marty: JDM, turbo.
Moog: and, um, with minimal budgets for modifications Moog: we'll pull together what we can find around the place Moog: And there it is, thank you for watching.

Moog: It gets real next episode. Martin, thank you very much, your car sucks arse man. Moog: But you're still a nice guy, I still like you anyway. Marty: Can we go out right now and buy a Saab? Moog: ...

Yeah I just did it. Marty: Can you...
Moog:  I just bought one? Marty: can you go buy a brand new Saab?
Moog: You don't need to. Marty: Ohh, you can't go and buy a brand new Saab because they went out of business because they're rubbish. Marty: I'm just going to go to the Mitsubishi dealership
Moog: Nah.

Nah nah, it's cool. Marty: I'm just going to grab myself a new Mitsubishi.
Moog: Have fun with that man. Moog: Yep. Have fun with your fridge.

And I'll be flying in the sky with all the beautiful ladies..

2 Weeks In Cuba Taught Me five Things About The World's Most Unique Car Culture

Cuba, whereby Ladas and conventional Chevys reside facet through facet.

My first automotive records in Cuba changed into range of damn disappointing. I had arranged to be picked up from Havanas Jose Marti International Airport and driven to my casa precise (a perfect primary authority-regulated AirBnB) inner town. The journey takes virtually 25 minutes and I anticipated to make it in a conventional American automotive. What else is there to rigidity(with Car DVD) in Cuba, correct? Fun statement: Cuba has Hyundai econo-boxes as smartly! Instead of the use of in my grandma's preceding conventional I changed into throwing my luggage into the again of my ex-female friend's beater.

So my first view of Havana came from inner a cramped Korean four-door with an indoors that gave the influence of it doubled as a wolverine enclosure. That records changed into eye-establishing, and there have been many greater to come back as I made my way for the time of a united states of america whereby the clocks stopped sometime inner the early 1960s. I spent 17 days in Cuba, and beneath are 5 problems I placed virtually the realm's perfect gratifying automotive custom. 1. Ladas are the automotive image of Cuba: They without difficulty outnumber the cooler American classics in equally colossal and little cities. These no-frills Soviet-made boxes on wheels dominate Cuban roads and serve as as each element from taxis to cop autos.

All greatest/new autos are for vacationers: The cleanest classics take travellers on town excursions. The nicest new autos are continually rentals. 3.Customization doesnt flip up below the hood: I at as soon as placed to cease asking taxi drivers virtually what changed into below the hood as they didnt incredibly care. The autos ran and that changed into enough. However, persons take great delight of their automotive's exterior and indoors. Car DVD participant weren't bizarre, nor have been flashy ice cream paint jobs. 4. Classic American autos are conventional in looks prime: The exteriors and interiors are (a lot customarily) legit alternatively whats below the hood fullyyt is admittedly now not different. The embargo and espresso wages (see beneath) observed to that.

Cars are the head thanks to make physical cash: Cuba has two currencies. CUC, namely used through vacationers and greater outlets, is pegged to the USD (1 CUC = $1). CUP is what Cuban salaries are paid in, and it takes 24 CUP to equivalent 1 CUC. Salaries standard virtually 20 CUC/month. The a lot reasonable approach to get physical cash is through driving vacationers circular. Fares and solutions at as soon as add up without reference to the money of defense and govt taxes on gains. I took a four-hour journey to the mountains and paid 50 CUC (two months salary!). My driving force changed into a tender university graduate who very imperative to lower your expenses for when he as a consequence made the swap to operating achieved-time as a instructor. If examined an Android Car Stereo, which shall be customarily great

$25,000 Car Vs. $503,000 Car

- Oh, what is this? Evan, are you serious? BMW, bro? You fancy, bro? - Why are you filming me, man? - Hold up. (Engine revving) That's what you need
to drive, Evan, there. (Laughs) How much was this car? - It costs don't worry about it. - It cost mind your own business? - Yes.

- Was it worth it? - For sure it's worth it. - This show is worth it. But your car? - Worth it. - [Steven] Welcome to worth it lifestyle, a new show based on worth it, where we're trying different experiences at different price points.

Each episode I'll have
a different co-host, and today we have my
good friend Evan Gang. - Yo. - So, welcome to my car. - Thanks Steven, is that
why you washed your car? - Just for you.

We are on our way to
try three different cars at three drastically
different price points, to find out which one is the
most worth it at its price. - Worth it. - You drive a fancy car, but what is the point of a car? - It's an appreciation, but also a way to express yourself. It's like fashion.

- No, it's to get you
from point A to point B. - I disagree. Clothes, is it a thing
that's just to keep you warm? Or is it a way to express-- - It's a way to cover your body, yeah. - You care a lot about your fashion.

- I care about jackets. - You want pretty jackets. - No I want jackets to keep me warm. - You're a big liar.

So where are we going for the first place? - Wait, should we go here? - What fell? - Oh my gosh! I just got this freaking car washed. Are you serious? You! - My name's Orlando Gonzalez,
I'm a sales manager here. And today, we're gonna be
talking about the 2017, very unique Toyota Prius. - You're already throwing out
adjectives at me right now.

- What I meant by that is
it's the 20th anniversary of the Prius right now. You can have the opportunity to see the first Prius right there. It's the one that started
the Hybrid evolution. - Give us a run through of the specs.

- I mean let's just start with the MPG, which you get an average about
52 miles per gallon this car. And the tank capacity
is around 12 gallons. Close to 600 miles on a full tank. - How far can you go with that? - You could go to Las Vegas and come back.

- You would think Vegas. - It has around 130 horsepower, it's equipped with front and back, side or back, curtain air bags, so it's a very, very safe car. - What's the selling price? - The selling price,
starts at around $24,000. - My issue with the Prius, I'm not gonna lie.

- I know where you're going
but I like your sentence. (Laughs) - I would own a Prius right now
if it wasn't for the design. - We get that a lot. From day one when the
Prius came on the market, that was the biggest
question that everybody, "I'm not to sure about the design." The design obviously has to be a design that gotta go with the concept.

And the electric system
combined with gasoline. In my opinion, it's kind of
like the car of the future. - So you're saying-- - You gotta know what's
inside, my friends. And once you get through (laughs) You and I, we're gonna sit
down after this, you know.

We're gonna talk about business or ... - [Steven] Alright, let's drive the car. - Well, the way you start this car is you, first you step on the brake, and then you hit the
power button right there. - Is it on right now? - Is it on right now, yeah.

- [Evan] it's very confusing almost. - It's just all about getting used to it. - [Steven] it's the future,
that's what we're doing. - [Orlando] It's the future.

- Look at that, it looks like a game. (Laughs) - [Steven] So when it brakes,
it's charging the car. - [Evan] is it the more you
stop the more battery charges. - [Orlando] That's one of the nice things about this car, guys, like
when the traffic is like this, you're not using any gas.

- Yeah, how's your leg
room back there, Alex? - [Alex] It's pretty good. - I'm gonna pull out a
little bit for you, sorry. It looks like it's good. - You know, even a giant will
have no leg room in the back.

- I want to see how fast it can go. - Just don't be afraid,
just step on the gas, you should be okay my friend, let me know. - Oh you can hear the engine. - Just be honest, that's
part of the power.

- It's pretty fast. - See? 70 Like nothing, right? - [Both] Yeah. - If you want to turn on the AC, you know, getting a little hot right here. There you go.

- I got you. - I think one thing about newer cars... - Yes sir. - Especially the Prius, is like, they give you so much information.

Knowing all your trip,
how much gas you're using, how much battery left you have, it allows you to really take
care of your car better. - Okay. - Which I'm all for. - You know what this car reminds me of? A very caring mom.

(Laughs) You know what I mean? - Really? I like that. - It's trying to, like, take care of me in the best way possible. - You have a caring mom? - I do have a caring mom. - You guys wanna say hi for
me, to my wife, to my kids.

- Hi. - Hi OG's wife. (Laughs) - You're gonna ask me why I didn't make any money today, well here. (Laughs) - Overall, $24,000 for a new Prius.

- It definitely felt like a toy car, but in a good way. There were so many buttons
and a lot of technology. - Before we go to car
number two, Car fact! - Sorry. I totally missed it.

- [Both] Car fact! The Honda Accord has been the most stolen car in America since 2008. - What? No. - I'm sorry, man. - My baby.

You know, I will say I
have never named this car. Should we name it? Or should we leave that up to the viewers? - Do people actually name their cars? Did you name your car, Alex? - What should we name this car? - Comment below. - Now we're on our way to car number dos. Where we're gonna try a luxury vehicle.

- How luxury? - I think we'll show a BMW. - Really? - Maybe I'll turn into
a fancy boy, we'll see. That's why you're here,
Evan, here to change my life. (Modern music) - Evan, Chris.

- Nice to meet you. - Steven. - Steve, it's a pleasure. I'm the general sales
manager of Century West BMW.

- What vehicle are we looking at here? - Right behind us we have a Daytona Violet 2017
M4 competition package. - How much is the starting
price for this car? - [Chris] M4 is gonna be in
the mid to high 70s to start. This particular one has
$5,000 worth of factory paint, and then it's got a carbon
fiber exhaust system that makes this car sound
absolutely fantastic. - What's the difference between M4 and just like, a regular four series? - I don't want to say it's
a four series on crack, but that's kind of what it is.

The four series in it's own
right is an amazing car. The M car takes that to another level. BMW's probably more renowned as a brand, but the M is a subset originally
intended to be a track car. But because of European racing rules, they had to produce a certain
amount for the street.

- How much horsepower is it? - 444 In the competition package grade. 435 Foot pounds of torque. The suspension, brake, the software, the programming, fuel components, have all been upgraded to higher capacity. - How many seconds does
that, from zero to 60? - Safely say somewhere
between 3.8 And 4.3.

- That is really fast. - You're tingling here. You're, like, excited. - I'm so excited.

- [Chris] This car has been engineered to be driven at triple digit speeds every day of its life on the Autobahn, and as a result when you give
them their care and feeding, they last forever. It's an everyday road going vehicle, that you could take to
the track on the weekend and annihilate everything
that's on the track. It's really something
special, it really really is. (Engine revving) - Woo! - I am so excited to drive this car, man.

This is crazy. I have never driven a
hundred thousand dollar car. - Can you do sports mode on this? - No, the car is kind of
naturally in sports mode. You just need to mash your foot down and know exactly what
you're getting yourself into when that happens.

- Bro you want to? - Mash that foot down? - Mash the foot down. (Car engine revs) - Oh shoot! I felt guilty doing that. - The car is capable of so much more, that was just, that was a sample. - Do you hear this noise? - This car is mad.

This guy really want to fight right here? Just raise this up. Oh it's like, you want to fight me? - He wants to race. - Yeah you could take that guy here. - The car could, but I
don't know if Steven could.

(Laughs) When it's running, it
sounds like a mad beast. But when it stops, it's like a library. - So we were in the hybrid, right? And I was like, impressed
with all the features here, but now I'm like, I'm using
the car for what it is. Alright, I'm gonna gun it here.

- Woo! - It's just so difficult to
articulate what it feels like, if you're in the driver's
seat and you're doing that. I don't want to say religious,
but it's right there. - Evan. You want to try it? - Get out.

- Can I trust you? - That's fast! Did you see that? I thought I was on a
rollercoaster for a second. - That was fun. I was trying not to drink
the beemer Kool-Aid, but. - If you look at the footage, I'm just smiling the whole time.

(Choir music) - Car fact, in 2015,
Mercedes-Benz announced that they would be providing self-driving, luxury cars. You know how amazing
self-driving cars are gonna be? - If all the cars on the
road are self-driving cars, then there will be no accidents. But if there's that one
person, that's messing up. - That's gonna be you, Evan.

We're about to finish off this video with almost a half a million dollar car. - Half a million dollar car? - Whoa! - Is this where we're going? - Yeah, baby. - It's very intimidating. - Should I park my Honda
Accord next to that Lambo? - You should.

(Modern music) - I'm Thomas Hodges, I'm sales here at Lambourghini North LA. Today we're checking out
the all new Aventador S, it's the coup version, 740 horsepower, seven speed transmission, naturally aspirated V12, all wheel drive, it's a beast. - [Evan] How many seconds in zero to 60? - This one should be 2.6. - 2.6? That's like...

- That's the Usain Bolt of cars. - Yeah. - How much is the car? - [Chris] $503,000. - See, that's a house, right here.

Like, right in this here thing. I could live in a house. - Someone told me once,
you can live in a car but you can't drive a house. - Alright alright.
- That's true.

- I'll take that. - [Chris] I think a lot of
it is the emotion of it, I mean the doors, you know
people come in, they say, "Hey we want the one with
the doors that go up." 'Cause a lot of the
guys that buy these cars are guys that started their own business, and so this was kind of
always something that they had that they were like shooting for. It's pretty cool to see someone get one, who's been working for
it for twenty years. - It's a reminder to
yourself that you made it.

- Well, if I crashed this
car while test driving it, that's not okay right? - Yeah, I would call that not okay. - Can you drive for us? - I can drive it for you. I think you'll get a good feeling for the power sitting shotgun. - Oh yeah.

(Engine revs) - Whoa! - What is that noise? - Engine. Sounds cool, huh? - It's very clean and
very easy on your ears. (Engine revving) - Woo! Oh my gosh! (Engine revving) - That's insane! Where did they go? Where did they go? - I'm lightheaded right now, to be honest. - I know, I'm a little worried about you.

- I bet everyone just stares at you. - Yeah, it's too much. - And it's also very
motivational to be in this car. - Right? - Like hey, I want this
experience every day.

- Cool, right? - Dude, it's awesome. I will say like, it's
not a waste of money. (Laughs) - This whole thing was great. The only thing I'm upset about it is, we didn't get to drive this.

- Dude, I got you. (Rock music) - I'm gonna smoke this fool. - In his dream. - I'm Chris, welcome to
exotics racing Fontana.

This is a 610 horsepower Lambourghini, so this is gonna turn much quicker than anything you've driven before. It's gonna accelerate more quickly, and it's gonna brake a lot harder too, so. Biggest benefit you'll get is
to be as smooth as possible. Nice and easy, just
step on the accelerate, and you want to use all the
track to get you momentum.

Now, accelerate. - [Steven] Full throttle? - [Chris] Full throttle, go for it. - Here we go. - Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Brakes now, brake harder once. Harder, harder, much harder, much harder. - Sorry about that. - Yeah, that's okay.

- I got carried away with the speed. - Yo! That was awesome. - I almost fell asleep. - Now start accelerating, all the way the outside of the track, unwind the wheel, full throttle.

Let it rev, let it rev. We're catching up to the RDRA, let's get it. Let's go ahead and pass. Look where you want to go, good, good, good.

Now you can start giving me the throttle. Full throttle, up shift. Well done, well done. - [Evan] Thank you.

- Let's see who was quickest
between you and Steven. - Who do you think won? - We were both beginners, so you know, the result's kind of bad, I think it was a little bit the same. - [Man] 1.10.75, That was your best lap. Your best lap was 1.07.54.

That's quick. - As I was being driven in the Avantador, I was like I want this
for the rest of my life. And that motivated me so much
to do better things in life. - End of the day, I'm a nice driver, I try to keep it chill, but a little part of
me was awakened today.

A little part. This freaking Subaru just passed me, here hold up, hold up. - See? - Woo! Zero to 100. - This video turned you into a beast.

- What, my friend, is the most
worth it car in your opinion? - Which one did I have the most fun in? Of course Lambourghini. But, since we're talking about
which car is most worth it at it's price, Toyota Prius. - Whoa! This is the only competition in which a Prius will beat a
Lambourghini in Evan's mind. You know how close I am to
choosing the BMW right now? I have priorities right now in terms of, I want to buy a house and for me, a car is not as valuable as a house.

My worth it winner is the Toyota Prius. Alex, do you have a winner? There's our true fancy boy in the back. Lambourghini. How do you say it in Italian? - Lambourghini.

(Laughs) - Oh my gosh. There's nothing that compares
to the smell of a new car. Other than a gas station. - [Evan] What? - [Steven] I don't know.

You don't like the smell of gasoline? - [Evan] No. What? - [Steven] Is that just me? - Do you like it? You like, what? So I'm the weird one here..

Your top tips for buying and running a car

Come up with a budget that you're comfortable with in the first place and stay with that budget. Try and determine before you purchase a car how much you feel you can afford. The less you finance, the better. We needed a decent car.

It would have cost us too much money. The car loans from work are quite cheap in relativity so we went via that route. We've always gone for used, but the cars we've had,
we've generally gone for a car that's a couple of years old because they drop their value quite a bit and then actually you've got a fairly new car but you're not paying an extra five, 10 thousand pounds
on top of that for a brand new car. Probably try and put as much of a deposit on the car as possible even though you wouldn't want to, sort of, let go of your money.

It might mean that you end up paying less in the long run. You've got to tax it, you've got to MOT it, service it
and there's all those things but one of the things that I found with my car
that I hadn't realised is kind of the extra jobs where, you know,
the general maintenance of the car... To have a pot of money for those, you know, situations. When you decide you're going to buy a car you actually research what the insurance is going to be in the first place.

We will shop around, so if our insurance company
then puts the premiums up we will make sure that we shop around. People just think about petrol but, you know, all the time the servicing
and everything else and surprise things that come with the servicing
and that sort of thing. I think never underestimate what a car ownership... The costs that are involved..
