Dan Martell - The Crazy Story of Daily Driven Exotics ｜ Damon Fryer on Bad Cops & Supercars

00:00:00.000 Do cops treat you different because you drive supercars?

00:00:02.880 100%.

00:00:03.280 My rule with cops is, look, you have to catch me in the act.

00:00:08.680 The car went sideways, they tried to correct it, it went the other way,

00:00:12.080 hit the light pole, and then hit the fire hydrant.

00:00:14.500 So how many times do you think you've been pulled over?

00:00:16.740 Oh, really?

00:00:17.540 I like you.

00:00:18.240 Because I've had other officers that are fans of the channel come to me and say,

00:00:21.300 hey, there's a clip of you in the National Police Training Database.

00:00:25.560 Police officers are on this pedestal that they should be on

00:00:28.540 because they do something that is extremely hard yeah i have tons of respect for first responders

00:00:33.340 firefighters police officers what's up everybody back here with damon from dde i've uh i have a

00:00:39.900 bunch of things i want to talk to him about this guy if you don't know about dde they're the channel

00:00:44.140 that literally started the whole daily driven exotics that's why it's called dde i first

00:00:49.100 discovered damon's stuff probably seven eight years ago and my first mclaren i drove it daily

00:00:56.220 and i'm talking like off road i mean i didn't abuse it that much but you inspired all of that

00:01:03.360 and i had so many other questions i wanted to ask and then we met here at august so we got

00:01:07.900 friends at august that let us uh host this conversation yeah i mean uh you guys are all

00:01:13.440 welcome just take it all in um a few of these cars i think one of those is at least mine and

00:01:18.300 you guys can figure out one of my old cars one of them i brought the diablo sv here and then matt

00:01:24.760 bought it off me and now I won't sell it back to me that's how it's gonna work yeah dude yeah

00:01:29.320 those are some really cool cars some of the the older Lamborghinis I don't fit in really and that

00:01:33.540 was actually a question I had for you because you used to have a Mercy gated I had that exact car

00:01:39.060 yeah yellow just yellow yeah and um I don't I've never gotten this story but what what was happening

00:01:46.420 with the car it needed some something need to get fixed and then you and then they had to try to

00:01:52.260 test something out and it didn't work out like that's a pretty i'd say yeah it didn't work out

00:01:58.300 um yeah it's an unfortunate story um i bought this car out of florida i came to the boys and

00:02:05.280 said this is like my dream car i know what the value of these cars is going to do this is the

00:02:10.260 last manual v12 lamborghini made and we have to find one an lp there's other pre-lp murcielago

00:02:18.100 so the very first iteration which is this yellow one here they actually have two of them and a

00:02:22.740 silver one over here but as any manufacturer develops a car they make it better and better

00:02:28.480 and they create improvements and the LP is the best version of the Murcielago short of a SV

00:02:35.200 but they made even fewer of those as we just spoke about in manual so I thought my shot of getting

00:02:40.940 one would be this LP car I found one in Florida it had a body kit on it so it looked like an SV

00:02:47.380 the guy even put the sticker on the side which i was like this is awful but i did my homework

00:02:52.440 hadn't been in any accidents which was my fear and i ended up picking up for 285 000 us dollars

00:02:59.140 dude and right now that car's worth a million yeah so i was never going to sell it and through

00:03:05.620 my journey of ownership i obviously maintained my cars i took my cars up to august garage and

00:03:10.820 they were doing services on it it's always gone great and i got to a place where my gearbox when

00:03:16.880 i would shift uh was just a little chunky even after it warmed up and i said hey maybe we should

00:03:23.400 just replace the synchros in a gearbox and they said yeah sure we can do that so we ordered them

00:03:28.480 they replaced them they said your car's ready i went to pick it up and everything was fine except

00:03:33.720 for in first gear when i'd accelerate and i don't accelerate soft like someone test driving your car

00:03:39.700 would i just i get into it a little more because i want to hear the car and experience it and it

00:03:44.400 popped out of first and i was like oh that's weird maybe i just didn't put it all the way

00:03:48.240 into gear like it was in gear and you just step on it and it would just pop into neutral yeah pop

00:03:52.360 into neutral and it'd rev up yeah so it did that three times and within the first three stops of

00:03:58.160 me heading home so i turned around and was like no there's something wrong you know they just did

00:04:01.820 the gearbox so it's clearly something's just out of alignment that's all it was and i took it back

00:04:06.520 to the garage and i was like i gotta drop this back off i have to go get my daughter from school

00:04:11.680 can i steal a car they gave me a car i went and got my daughter an hour after getting my daughter

00:04:17.440 i'm sitting at home i get like seven text messages of this vaguely fuzzy yellow lamborghini

00:04:25.380 from about three blocks away crashed into a pole and people are like is this your car and i'm like

00:04:32.740 i knew exactly when i saw it the area of not even a block away from the garage this open field it's

00:04:39.680 the only light pole and the only fire hydrant and there's no building you know there's a curb but

00:04:45.520 that's it and i immediately called and got the man we're so sorry like we went to take it out for a

00:04:53.220 test drive and as we were driving down the road and and mind you this is middle of winter there's

00:04:59.860 lots of sand and salt put on our roads it had snowed recently but it had dried up and it leaves

00:05:05.460 all that residue on the road and so they test drove it and first gear in that car is really tall

00:05:11.380 you can do about a hundred kilometers an hour in first in a mercy so they i told them too i was

00:05:17.140 like you got to get on it by the way that i i said you got to get on it to experience it popping out

00:05:22.420 yeah so i think they pulled out of the driveway and got on it and in that little bit of a curve

00:05:27.380 on the road was on it the car went sideways they tried to correct it it went the other way

00:05:33.540 and it hopped the curb decisions hit the light pole and then hit the fire hydrant so it basically

00:05:38.600 did in like three sides of the car it was a in the end it was not a total loss which was a headache

00:05:45.220 with insurance so i got the car back wrecked and a bunch of money not enough to cover really what

00:05:51.880 i needed but um i ended up just selling the car to a friend who was more interested in taking the

00:05:57.220 project on of rebuilding it but you've driven i mean the mercy gated what do you have now that's

00:06:03.660 gated you have the i have a first gen yeah gated mercy which is what i drove here you drive those

00:06:10.020 things like yeah everywhere there's no joke like and like give them though like that's the thing

00:06:14.700 when i drove that car matt was like hey let's drive that million dollar car i i drove as if

00:06:19.520 like every shift had to be perfect and all this stuff and well if you if you aren't familiar with

00:06:25.560 it it's very much a bit of a finicky car because the motor needs to warm up yeah but to what which

00:06:33.000 you can do by starting the car and letting it idle yeah and letting the oil and water temp and all

00:06:38.420 that so now the motor is going to run a lot better the throttle bodies and all that are going to

00:06:42.340 respond better but the gearbox cannot be warmed up without the car moving so you have to know for

00:06:48.100 the first probably 10 minutes of driving a mercy like gated mercy logo see that's where i do need

00:06:52.580 to go chill because it's going to feel really chunky you probably noticed going into second it

00:06:57.060 was like it almost stops you and then you have to like pull it in yeah and going into thirds the

00:07:00.960 same but after about 10 or 15 minutes of driving the car the gearbox warms up and then it starts

00:07:06.140 to get like buttery smooth so you cannot shift buttery smooth yeah you cannot shift fast in a

00:07:11.580 gated mercy until it's the gearbox is warm or else you're going to grind gears and wreck stuff i

00:07:16.720 might have missed that experience because everybody kept saying oh my gosh it's the best but i was

00:07:20.380 just so nervous and it felt very like mechanically tough yeah i'll take you on my car sometime i

00:07:25.080 would love that i think that would maybe give me a new appreciation yeah um i i want to talk about

00:07:30.560 cops okay because like obviously i don't speed um but friends of mine that do tell me they have

00:07:36.320 issues with um police um yeah so you don't you don't just so we're clear you don't speed ever

00:07:42.940 i don't speed ever unless i'm on a like i it has to be illegal i'm just not gonna do that

00:07:49.320 really no i'm just kidding i am i'm gonna hold you accountable to that no no don't i can't i

00:07:54.100 can't have that one hold i speed i think the misconception though isn't it i want to talk

00:07:59.080 about this real quick before we get into the cop side of things people think because they see our

00:08:03.360 videos that we're speeding all the time it's not all the time there are times when i'm just cruising

00:08:11.340 and ironically when we are speeding or driving spirited i do have rules i'm not gonna and my

00:08:19.880 rules have changed as i've matured both in my business but as an adult and being a family guy

00:08:25.500 so i have rules where i won't speed or i won't do the more risky dangerous stuff that i know is is

00:08:32.420 wreck considered reckless so i think sometimes when i when we get into the cop stuff when i get

00:08:38.640 pulled over and i'm like hey man i wasn't doing anything wrong to the cops people think i'm lying

00:08:43.260 but i don't post cop videos where the cops have caught me doing something and i deserve it

00:08:49.600 those videos actually never get posted i get pulled over more than what people see on the

00:08:53.840 internet and those are the ones where i take the l i take the ticket and i'll pay it the ones you

00:08:58.540 see on the internet are the ones where i was actually driving with a group of cars and i was

00:09:02.640 actually the one maybe with a few other guys doing the speed limit and we had chilled out and been

00:09:07.120 doing the speed limit and obeying laws for the better part of 10, 15, 20 minutes or 30 minutes

00:09:12.740 or an hour, even if we're on a rally, like in an eight hour day, you're not flat out for eight

00:09:16.800 hours. So my rule with cops is look, you're a police officer to become a police officer. You

00:09:24.620 took an oath. It's like going to court. You took an oath to follow the law to a T, which means it's

00:09:31.340 cat and mouse you have to catch me in the act you have to have evidence just because you saw me

00:09:38.060 ripping around or you knew i was ripping around in a video from a week ago doesn't mean you get

00:09:42.380 to come out and give me a ticket like a week later you have to be able to prove it right like that's

00:09:46.540 the world we live in so um yeah sometimes people get in the comments and like oh you weren't

00:09:52.140 speeding it's like no i wasn't speeding when i got pulled over for that that time period and i've had

00:09:58.220 had a few videos recently where the police pulled me on they let me go because they knew they had

00:10:01.660 nothing yeah i had a double header one day actually like pull over twice yeah in the morning on the

00:10:06.960 way to a car show they let me go do cops treat you different because you drive supercars you think

00:10:12.340 like do you think they'll more likely to pull you over 100 100 um also over the years of doing

00:10:22.060 daily driven exotics and filming these police interactions where police are wrong or they

00:10:27.360 don't know the law and i kind of hold up for them that that's not correct and i've gone and filed

00:10:33.780 complaints on certain officers that have gone too far with it that's changed the way police also

00:10:39.320 interact with me and everybody because they took one of my early videos from about five or six

00:10:44.380 years ago and they put it into the national database because i've had another other officers

00:10:48.900 that are fans of the channel come to me and say hey there's a there's a clip of you in the national

00:10:55.840 police training database for like a certain type of i don't know if it's for all officers but for

00:10:59.760 like a certain type of police officer what is it that you feel they've changed how they

00:11:06.020 interact with people who are filming them and i think they just probably reiterated what was

00:11:14.240 already told to them which is you're trained you're supposed to be calm collected and in

00:11:19.660 control of the situation not the other way around yeah right so if a police officer walks up and

00:11:26.220 starts being uh verbally aggressive yeah and that only that can just simply be like talking really

00:11:32.980 loud or maybe not talking right if they're if they're manipulating the situation on purpose

00:11:39.020 that's not a good thing so you know i've had videos where the officers lying stuff like that

00:11:46.920 you know i pulled you over for running a stop sign like in beverly hills and then never brings up

00:11:51.920 the stop sign thing again and never gives me a ticket for that and gives me a ticket for not

00:11:56.640 driving in california on a california license yeah and tells me i can't drive here on a canadian

00:12:00.780 license well that is completely wrong yeah right i filed a complaint on him and i've seen that

00:12:06.320 never had an issue with beverly hills pretty much ever again ever again the cops yeah what um so how

00:12:12.220 many times do you think you've been pulled over if you just had to throw over like i know are you

00:12:16.440 over like 150 no below that okay i would say i've been pulled over probably you know probably like

00:12:24.800 60 to 70 times and and for you getting pulled over in a decade plus of doing this yeah but you

00:12:30.800 and and a lot of time and seats so like that's so we're talking like in a 12 month period you know

00:12:36.300 maybe five or six times okay and for you at this point lights go off you're just like no big deal

00:12:41.580 pull over ready to go be calm yeah ask questions yeah well and this is this is my follow-up right

00:12:47.980 because for my friends that do drive and speed not me but those people they want to know the

00:12:53.640 questions like because i've watched like it seems like you have this logical kind of like question

00:12:58.820 question question question is it because you're trying to get them to admit to certain things

00:13:02.940 like what's your thought process around what you ask a cop to essentially um prove your innocence

00:13:08.260 or set up a framework for you to be able to dispute a ticket sure well first of all you got to know

00:13:13.140 what you did so that goes back to what i just said yeah if i was caught yeah and i know okay

00:13:20.860 you go by a guy i go 100 and it's a 50 zone and he spins the lights on turns around you're like

00:13:25.960 i'm like i already have my license registration for him because i already know what he wants

00:13:30.340 yeah and i hand it to him and he asked me what was i doing i just i first of all i never admit

00:13:37.740 that i'm speeding on on site you don't want to admit you don't want to admit anything

00:13:42.320 right because you never know where the pullover could go yeah you don't know if this is a like

00:13:48.380 a really aggressive officer something bad could happen that then i need to go to court for

00:13:52.660 but if it's just a traffic violation usually a hand i say i got license registration and my

00:13:59.020 insurance card and don't say anything and then if he goes what were you thinking going that fast

00:14:05.960 i just say reserve the right not to answer any questions you'll say that yeah and then at that

00:14:11.240 point they usually just walk away you guys stay here and they usually walk away and come back

00:14:15.720 and either sometimes give me a warning because they know who i am recently or they come back

00:14:20.940 with a ticket and they say sign the ticket i sign the ticket because i know it's required

00:14:25.280 i take my ticket and i go on my way and don't argue don't don't ask a bunch of questions now

00:14:31.340 if i've genuinely been not screwing around and i know there's no way this officer is it's not

00:14:39.900 saying they're lying but let's say they their information is based on maybe another car

00:14:44.940 right there's lots of where i drive a lot of time there's lots of supercars and most people have no

00:14:51.180 clue the difference between a mclaren a lamborghini ferrari they'll just see a car and if it's red

00:14:55.500 they'll call it a ferrari right just subconsciously so if he pulls me over and says um

00:15:02.860 license to registration i said what would you pull me over for he goes your speed or whatever

00:15:07.500 they're gonna say oh you were with a group of people everybody was reported i say okay uh do

00:15:12.780 you have any evidence do you not the people who called you and do you have any physical evidence

00:15:18.940 that i was breaking the law i'll say that sometimes and the tricky part is by law they

00:15:26.540 in california now as of january 1st 2024 they do have to tell you what they pulled you over for

00:15:32.460 now that's for california but there are places where they don't really need to engage with you

00:15:36.780 at all other than just giving you the citation if that's what they want to do and i've had that

00:15:40.780 experience which really doesn't lead anywhere other than then you gotta go get an attorney so

00:15:46.380 So, but if they do engage, they might say, well, I got you with radar, right?

00:15:53.080 Well, if I know I haven't been speeding for the last 15 minutes and I was genuinely following the law, I know this cop's full.

00:15:59.200 Yeah.

00:15:59.860 So then I just go hard.

00:16:01.040 I'm all in.

00:16:02.200 I'm like, cool.

00:16:02.760 You got the radar.

00:16:03.660 You got the radar gun?

00:16:05.300 Yeah.

00:16:05.860 Cool.

00:16:06.200 Can I see it?

00:16:06.960 When was it calibrated?

00:16:07.920 Yeah.

00:16:08.340 Right?

00:16:10.220 Where were you positioned that you got me?

00:16:14.360 Right?

00:16:14.780 All this stuff.

00:16:15.840 and if they answer the questions well you can take all that and use it as a defense i've had

00:16:22.820 a bunch of different scenarios where the officers told me something that i'm like there's no way

00:16:27.260 so at that point i just basically ask them more questions about you know how long he's been an

00:16:32.500 officer for get doubt in them that you like is that kind of yeah how long they've been an officer

00:16:39.180 is it because you're trying to let them know that if they if they decide to give you a ticket that

00:16:43.320 there's a hundred percent chance you're going to dispute it because you have the questions

00:16:46.860 no at this point i'm just being a youtuber and the longer i can get them to talk the longer this

00:16:51.360 police interaction is on the side of the the highway yeah the better the uh retention rate

00:16:58.280 of the people watching the videos all for content so at a point at this point i'm just like hey you

00:17:02.780 know it's legal for you to film the police so if if the officer is telling me i did something wrong

00:17:09.280 and i know i did nothing wrong well i'm going to monetize it so now it's just like drag it out as

00:17:14.200 long as i can ask as many questions as possible you know but be polite be calm um it's not going

00:17:21.860 to serve you well if you're aggressive especially i mean not even with the cop i mean just like

00:17:26.000 the internet's not going to like you so just be calm cool collected be educated on what are the

00:17:31.720 laws you know especially about vehicle code so things like your car right i've been educated

00:17:37.280 that you know just because um from canada doesn't mean that my car being allowed is you know they

00:17:46.320 can't give you a ticket for noise because there's noise ordering ordinance that they can give you

00:17:50.960 tickets for within a certain city so that's when you just have to take a bit of a slap on the wrist

00:17:55.420 now it's not going to hurt your driver's license or give you points or anything like that if you're

00:17:58.780 a foreigner but um you you don't probably want to argue too much about that i've learned that one

00:18:03.660 the hard way yeah but then there's other things where i got this one recently on on the senate

00:18:08.020 in the double header pull over with the senate just the other week the first officer told me

00:18:14.020 i had to have a front plate because that's the law in california and i was like hey bro let me

00:18:20.540 educate you quickly i'm from canada and i'm from a province called alberta and they issue one plate

00:18:26.020 i physically don't get a second plate to put on the front well i'm not going to argue about it

00:18:32.320 says on the side of the road uh you have to follow the laws of california when you're here

00:18:37.580 and i'm like well that's where you're mistaken that's where the officer's wrong yeah you know

00:18:41.580 as a tourist you need to follow certain rules when you enter the states right but there are

00:18:48.640 certain things that are local to the state local to the state yeah vehicles coming through the

00:18:53.840 state can't be stopping and putting stuff on a car every time i've gotten a no front plate ticket

00:18:58.740 which is dumb. It's a $25 ticket. It's like a fix it ticket. Yeah. I've just sent that to my

00:19:04.660 attorney. I've never paid one. Yeah. And, and would you recommend that anybody that gets a

00:19:10.020 speeding ticket or noise violation or window to whatever they get a ticket for that they should

00:19:14.360 fight it? Again, I think if you're in the right, yeah. Okay. Right. I mean, you gotta remember

00:19:19.780 police officers are on this pedestal that they should be on because they do something that is

00:19:24.440 extremely hard yeah i have tons of respect for uh first responders firefighters police officers

00:19:29.640 because not just the the physical aspect of it when it comes down to a physical altercation

00:19:36.680 but then it's really more a mental game yeah but at the end of the day they're human beings

00:19:41.440 just because they have like a badge and a gun and a uniform they're just people and there's good

00:19:46.960 ones and there's bad ones yeah right so you have to treat them with respect when they walk up to

00:19:52.820 your vehicle and if they're disrespecting you it's better to walk a line of integrity and just

00:19:58.440 ask lots of questions and keep them talking and let your camera do the rest you know take your

00:20:04.240 cell phone and put it up on your dash and just film the whole thing protect yourself i never

00:20:08.640 thought about that yeah i've always you know i'm canadian so it's just like i'm you know i'm so

00:20:13.060 worried yeah i say that too a lot yeah it's uh it's one of those things where obviously you know

00:20:21.280 one time i had my windows tinted and i literally switched lanes at night driving at night which i

00:20:25.720 never did so it was kind of funny that i i didn't realize how the tint i couldn't see and he pulled

00:20:30.880 me over and he was like because i almost hit him i literally changed lanes i almost hit him and he

00:20:33.900 said what are you doing and he looked and he's like dude that's not legal i'm like i'm sorry

00:20:36.800 um and he probably thought you're drunk yeah probably uh he gave me literally the the fix

00:20:43.140 it ticket or no he said uh if you come tomorrow i'll rip it up so i took the tint off went to

00:20:48.780 see him he was he was cool dude that was here in no that was in new brunswick brunswick yeah

00:20:53.100 other part of canada but definitely canada yeah um you just got back from driving one of my favorite

00:20:58.680 cars yesco oh yeah like dude what how like out of all the other cars and i know you've driven a lot

00:21:08.120 of them but i mean a it's chris right they had the the shop is it chris no what's this guy's name

00:21:15.360 who owns the youtuber the guy that had the your buddy that let you oh james james yeah mr jww

00:21:22.460 jww right jww anyway so i mean he must really like like you i mean that he does i think james

00:21:32.140 likes me it's so crazy i'm like i know a guy that's driven a yesco like dude that the koinig

00:21:39.960 is for me i think it's one of the coolest hypercars because he's like you know christian is

00:21:46.160 essentially the elon musk of supercars for sure like for legit engineering i'm a big big big fan

00:21:52.980 of all the stuff they build and man the sound oh it's insane the theater of it like just even the

00:22:01.320 the spec of that one specifically in london like yeah yeah london's not a fun place to drive for

00:22:07.460 the record no no it's just a great place to go be goo goo gaga over in three million hyper car

00:22:12.440 so have you ever driven or ridden in any koenigsegg no they are all surprisingly very different

00:22:19.860 versus if you drove a lamborghini diablo from 1999 and then drove a first-gen mercy and then

00:22:28.100 an lp and then drove an aventador there are similarities where in the koenigsegg model

00:22:35.420 lineup i've had the opportunity to drive in a ccx i've actually yeah with a manual gearbox i've

00:22:42.420 actually driven a regera i've actually which has no gearbox in the context of its final drive it's

00:22:49.120 just it doesn't shift gears there's no way to shift gears it just goes um i've driven an agera rs

00:22:56.700 which shifts gears very aggressively very much like an svj but has double the horsepower

00:23:04.540 um and then i've driven the esco which is this modern the newest technology from konings egg

00:23:12.000 like you said christian's a just an engineering genius and they've got this brand new gearbox

00:23:19.180 that i will not even come close to attempting to explain automatic and manual right not no

00:23:25.220 that is now that's the cc 850 okay sorry that that even that i know it gets really confusing

00:23:31.660 And then there's also this Agera that they converted where they took the Agera motor out of it, put a Yesco engine in it, and put the gearbox from the CC850 in it.

00:23:43.880 But then you can also switch it over so that it runs off paddles as well.

00:23:47.500 Like, just Google it.

00:23:49.560 I don't want to confuse the people watching.

00:23:51.900 But we'll get to the point that I was going to make, which is the Yesco is, again, so different from anything else.

00:23:57.660 else like every car that i mentioned that they've made other than the windshield looking like the

00:24:04.060 same way when you look through it they all drive completely differently they all feel really

00:24:07.820 planted that would be one similarity when you're driving uh koning's egg it's very confidence

00:24:12.080 inspiring but the yesco first of all it's got like no flywheel or something like that i don't

00:24:19.180 know if that's right or wrong or if it's just super light but i think it's got no flywheel

00:24:22.600 this new gearbox they engineered and so when you touch the throttle it's like the closest thing i

00:24:28.740 could guess what an f1 car would be like because f1 cars are already idling at several thousand

00:24:33.660 rpm and then they rev up to like you know 15 or 16 or 17 000 rpm you could literally barely touch

00:24:41.680 the throttle and it was just like wow and i've never experienced that before in any car and i've

00:24:46.940 driven just about everything factory exhaust it's completely like it's rare to experience

00:24:52.560 an exhaust sound through the camera and watching that video and seeing everybody's reaction

00:24:57.600 you could feel yeah well we were driving i was driving the yesco there was a regera following us

00:25:04.660 so right there you can tell the difference between the two cars through sound and then i love james

00:25:11.580 james uh says driving the regara is like driving like marine equipment like it's like driving a

00:25:18.780 submarine it's like oh it's like it's got this really deep tone you don't hear any gear shifting

00:25:24.220 when it drives by it's just a completely different beast but all made from the same manufacturer

00:25:29.980 yeah and then on top of all that just the the lightning quickness of the shifting in the esco

00:25:34.860 the sound we talked about because of this new engine design and then the looks of it i mean

00:25:39.900 it looks so much you know crazier the arrow when you see one in person it doesn't do the photos

00:25:47.500 justice you know and i was driving an attack which has the crazy wing that's floating at the back

00:25:53.180 yeah it's all active it all moves that's the crazy part that it's just come straight across

00:25:58.140 it's so fast i only got through first second like ripping on it on that one part in london that was

00:26:04.700 like a side road there was nobody around and it was like yeah thank god it's got adequate brakes

00:26:10.460 it flies what what were the quirks and features that surprised like what what did you think was

00:26:15.500 neat about the car it's really it's really endless um inside's pretty classic uh koenigsegg except

00:26:23.180 for it's got a new display that's attached to the steering wheel i'm still undecided i don't know if

00:26:30.060 if i like it it's cool is it so when you turn the wheel itself itself writes it's like self levels

00:26:36.440 yeah um yeah it's really neat i think it's cool i've never seen any car ever do that before i

00:26:41.360 mean it's like mclaren when they came out with the whole the dash flips up and down yeah that

00:26:45.080 was really cool really cool i actually thought when they first introduced that i was like oh

00:26:48.520 it's gonna be the first thing to break break yeah and i don't know anybody that's ever had

00:26:52.200 an issue with that thing flipping out and i turn it on and out every time right yeah sometimes i'll

00:26:55.920 put it up if i want to even in track mode other things that were really unique about the yesco

00:27:01.100 were just the little subtle things so like the new headlight design the new taillight design

00:27:06.740 because when you look at konings eggs they kind of again have a different theme to each model

00:27:15.160 there's certain things that hold true like the windshield's always yeah the design language

00:27:19.780 of the windshield yeah yeah crazy arch to it wouldn't even want to know what one of those

00:27:24.820 would cost to replace but um but then this car is just like so new from the ground up

00:27:30.980 and i've always loved the koenig's eggs like whatever you want to call it like open body

00:27:36.100 look like if you hit the button and everything just like transformer style yeah the doors the

00:27:41.140 doors will open up dude the front opens up and then the rear clamshell opens up and exposes

00:27:46.980 it actually opens up this way

00:27:49.240 and exposes the motor

00:27:51.080 and everything's carbon fiber

00:27:52.580 everything and branded

00:27:55.080 like the titanium nuts have the logo

00:27:57.820 like everything

00:27:59.820 yeah

00:28:00.380 it's an incredible car

00:28:02.700 they made

00:28:04.200 more than they've typically made in the past

00:28:07.400 like Regera's I think they made 80 in the world

00:28:09.740 that's it

00:28:10.360 they're making 125 yes goes

00:28:13.340 unfortunately

00:28:15.220 two days after i left london or drove that car uh a fully exposed carbon body yesco unfortunately

00:28:23.100 caught fire and burnt to the ground in greece that went real viral everyone saw that yeah they

00:28:28.360 immediately looked into what caused that i don't know what it was maybe that's been released now

00:28:33.580 but um you know those cars are hand-built take years these guys have got their yescos and only

00:28:40.960 25 or six have been delivered out of 125 and they've been waiting three plus years for their

00:28:47.620 car so this guy who had his car burned down they're going to build him a new car wow yeah

00:28:52.720 instead of being like well you got your one of 125 and it burned to the ground because obviously

00:28:57.400 it was a manufacturer defect yeah so yeah dude that that watching you experience that car was

00:29:04.260 that was like and just so you know konings egg london the dealership that just opened yeah

00:29:10.080 is and is that james's dealership james is involved in it james's business partner okay so that that

00:29:17.800 car belongs to the dealership and they were very fortunate to be able to get that car because they

00:29:23.000 actually so i was gonna ask that wasn't their car they got that because of other circumstances i

00:29:28.380 don't know if i can explain okay or if i'm allowed to say how they got that car but that car belonged

00:29:33.180 to someone else they no longer could take it um and the factory offered it to them that's how they

00:29:38.480 got it basically okay it wasn't like a dealer they didn't inspect that yeah that was someone

00:29:42.480 else which is why in london it's left-hand drive which made it easier for me to drive

00:29:46.640 yeah it looked so cool what let's talk about ferraris because i know you're a big ferrari

00:29:54.740 well i've got the pista and then my neighbor's got a four five eight mensuri kit it's one of the

00:30:02.160 i think his instagram says one of one in canada which i'm the white one yeah alan uh he's my

00:30:07.520 neighbor and then uh but i've heard i've never i mean i'm new to ferrari but they don't like people

00:30:14.400 messing with their cars why and like are they calmed down lately or what well there there's

00:30:20.800 some myths around that yeah there's the infamous and us youtuber automotive youtubers love to take

00:30:25.840 advantage of this myth, the whole Ferrari cease and desist letter. The thing Ferrari doesn't want

00:30:32.020 you to do, any brand wouldn't want you to do this. You can appreciate this being an entrepreneur and

00:30:36.440 building companies, is you don't want the brand you work so hard to build to be tarnished in any

00:30:43.080 way. So Ferrari doesn't want you modifying something that they built and then calling it

00:30:49.320 Ferrari they don't care if you modify their cars just don't call it Ferrari right so and they also

00:30:56.260 don't want you to tarnish their brand so if you try to um force a brand collab so you go buy a

00:31:03.840 Ferrari right and you have a company selling uh designer shoes and clothing there's a true story

00:31:09.360 by the way Philip Pline and you take your shoes and put them on the back of your Ferrari near the

00:31:13.820 ferrari logo and take a bunch of photos and try to use for like ferrari's likeness to promote your

00:31:19.480 products you'll probably get a cease and desist in fact ferrari sued him and won yeah so he took

00:31:25.920 a pair of his designer shoes put them on the back said ferrari took photos of it and ferrari was

00:31:30.840 like no that's your brand is bringing down the value of our brand because of what your brand

00:31:36.800 stands for and and they won in court so so is the cease and desist letter not real or they oh it's

00:31:44.640 real okay i know people have gotten them over what over modifying something and then so for example

00:31:51.600 if you were to modify um a ferrari and you modify the front fenders and you put a body kit on it

00:31:59.760 and you take the shield let's say your car was specked with a shield you take the ferrari logo

00:32:05.240 you take it off you put a completely new fender on which has nothing to do with ferrari and put

00:32:10.140 the shield back on that ain't gonna like that because that is no longer an original ferrari

00:32:14.480 part that you're putting a ferrari logo on and i know that for a fact because my friend james

00:32:19.340 mr jww just released a car called the evoluto i think i'm pronouncing that right and he took the

00:32:25.460 ferrari f355 chassis and they retro like uh modded it yeah to be all modern and they reinforced the

00:32:34.300 chassis with carbon and made it more rigid and drive really good and redid the whole motor and

00:32:38.960 he and i asked him this question like you're actually gonna build a car based off of a ferrari

00:32:45.020 and then you're gonna sell it like singer like porsche was singing yeah yeah or brabus and i said

00:32:49.620 what what can you not get in trouble for and he said he hired attorneys to basically pretend like

00:32:56.760 they were working for ferrari and they reverse engineered it if we were ferrari's lawyers what

00:33:01.660 would we sue you for that's cool and they came up with a list of 18 things or something like that

00:33:05.940 and so basically nothing on the car that they touched could have the logo back on it except

00:33:11.340 for the front grill because the front grill on the car stayed original and it had the prancing

00:33:16.300 horse on the front of it so they think they could put that back on and that's okay but it doesn't

00:33:21.140 say ferrari anywhere on the car because everything else in the car was modified new paint new

00:33:25.340 everything so it's just a chassis anybody looking at it would they think it's a chassis in a body

00:33:29.040 but they modify the body it's a full carbon car it's like psychotic how they built this car it's

00:33:34.760 overbuilt it's amazing it's beautiful manual gearbox now i can show it to you that's so cool

00:33:40.020 yeah what what do you think having been in the supercar industry for so long now

00:33:45.360 what do you think most people wouldn't know about the industry that you've learned

00:33:50.180 like they'd be surprised to learn like a normal person like just they they understand the super

00:33:57.880 cars but they're like what like what would they be surprised i would just go to the the basic um

00:34:04.440 again myth that they're really unreliable and expensive to maintain modern supercars are not

00:34:11.000 that they're a lamborghini huracan any model of it anything from the first one they built

00:34:17.780 to an sto to a technica their final edition any of those cars are daily drivable bulletproof to

00:34:25.500 the point where i actually probably have more confidence daily driving one of those cars than

00:34:30.080 some than some toyotas that's a big statement they are so good i promise you if you were to

00:34:37.240 go buy a huracan even a used one with 20 30 40 000 kilometers on it which in fact my street car

00:34:44.600 i bought with 40 plus thousand k who is they're selling their car through august they were actually

00:34:49.820 a dd fan and i bought that car and i've driven the living daylights out of it plus supercharged it

00:34:56.300 no problems nothing whoa and it's mine's like at the one of the most modified hurricanes on

00:35:02.240 planet level you did all the stuff you're not supposed to do full race body kit yeah super

00:35:06.900 charger that's the actual snorkel roof scoop that's from the race car actually is connected

00:35:12.560 to the engine with the race car filter in it which all had to be tuned i don't have a single

00:35:17.240 engine light i don't have a single light on my dash i have a handbrake in my car from like a

00:35:23.680 drift car we got rid of the paddles deleted the paddles i have the paddles now hooked up to a

00:35:29.080 rally style carbon style shifter so shifting up his back shifting downs forward i'd be and i dude

00:35:35.020 i have my own private little area in la that i beat the hell out of that car third geared burnouts

00:35:40.820 to the point where i'm doing a burnout in third gear the wheel speeds like 100 miles an hour

00:35:44.620 so much smoke you don't know which way is up it's like being lost underwater in a cave and uh

00:35:51.320 car starts no issues never problem no issues i don't even do the oil change man people are

00:35:56.320 worried to put like exhaust on cars worrying that it's going to mess it up there are certain cars

00:36:00.520 depending on the manufacturer that if you don't do certain things in the right order it will

00:36:04.960 create little little hiccups yeah but usually nothing detrimental to a modern day yeah they're

00:36:09.780 built to protect themselves now ironically that diablo is so good i just picked a really good one

00:36:17.620 but let's say diablo generation even murcielago generation early 2000s if you don't get the right

00:36:24.400 car the accessories the motor itself is pretty bulletproof the gearbox especially

00:36:28.700 manual is going to hold up really well the e-gear because it's robotic can have depending on how

00:36:36.340 you drive it if you do a lot of reversing out of a long driveway reverse really chews up the clutch

00:36:40.980 in an e-gear mercy but if you avoid the things you know to avoid and do oil changes and services

00:36:46.180 on time they're really not gonna let you down i just drove my my mercy with my wife boston to

00:36:51.040 boca raton dude eight hours a day not an issue that rally i will say that car the interior is

00:36:59.060 so bright yeah you have to wear polarized sunglasses you have to it does reflect off

00:37:03.280 the windshield holy cow like put put that interior like show everybody like I'm and I love blue it

00:37:09.160 was like honestly that blue and you guys did the blue uh it looks very similar to your shirt yeah

00:37:13.720 like a little lighter yeah lighter a little bit more neon poppy but man I'm watching videos I'm

00:37:19.260 like how do you see like it was yeah it reflects and that I can't take credit for that concept of

00:37:24.920 a blue interior on a white exterior car I was really inspired to do that when I met a guy by

00:37:30.560 the name of mike in la who owned a one-off agara r it's called the agara rs1 and it's white and

00:37:38.960 carbon on the outside with a little bit of blue detail and then the interior is that blue and i

00:37:43.640 saw that car and fell in love with it and i was like one day i will do an interior mod and it'll

00:37:47.980 be that blue color and turned out really good minus they always have to have polarized glasses

00:37:52.460 so sharp yeah what else about the supercar industry i mean there's the whole fiasco i think

00:37:57.620 i've heard with like just allocations yeah i mean what like ferrari your favorite brand yeah i would

00:38:04.260 say mclaren's my favorite brand but is it slowly yeah i i'm a diehard mclaren because they're

00:38:09.860 they're the first it was my first car non-pretentious didn't make me feel like i had to

00:38:15.220 jump through hoops ferrari's just the sound in the engine the theater of the pieces specifically

00:38:20.020 that's the only car i've owned um just has made me really happy but yeah i've just the allocations

00:38:26.340 i'm trying to get gt3 rs right now the like yeah so i was gonna say porsche and ferrari are the

00:38:32.940 top of the tier for the they really um reserve the right to reward the longest standing clientele

00:38:42.480 list based on what very politically beautifully way to explain what you've owned previously or

00:38:48.460 what you're willing to buy right now that is the not special cars and i know lots of guys

00:38:55.820 i have lots of friends that have gone out and bought plenty of the portofinos and the

00:39:02.460 lusos and the you name it to get like the or to get you know whatever's coming up next

00:39:10.300 lamborghini um never really made you you know kind of like the ford gt behind us over in the

00:39:16.220 back you won't see it but the newer ford gt the those cars there's only five had to apply yeah

00:39:22.540 No, they made more of them in the end.

00:39:23.840 Oh, did they?

00:39:24.340 They kept adding more and more.

00:39:25.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:25.840 I don't even know what they're at now.

00:39:27.140 But every single one, you had to apply online on Ford.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, write something up.

00:39:33.060 Ford Performance website.

00:39:33.980 Yeah, send all your social media and yada, yada.

00:39:36.960 So Ford would do that.

00:39:38.360 And then if you own the car and got an allocation, you also sign that you could not sell it for 18 months.

00:39:44.060 18 months.

00:39:44.580 Lamborghini was never known for doing that.

00:39:46.500 But now, with the V12 replacement of the Rovalto, that now is the car that came after the Aventador, it's a naturally aspirated V12 with hybrid assist, 1,001 horsepower.

00:40:01.300 I recently drove one.

00:40:02.960 Beautiful car.

00:40:04.000 Actually sounds pretty cool on the interior.

00:40:05.840 Can't wait to see somebody straight pipe one.

00:40:08.320 But that car, it wasn't that you had to apply to get it.

00:40:12.840 they picked who were going to get them early on but you did have to sign something saying you

00:40:16.840 couldn't resell it right away okay so if you want to sell it has to go back to the dealer

00:40:20.020 and i've already seen some people playing games on the internet where they're saying we have a

00:40:24.920 revolto for sale and it's like well that's impossible yeah and i can guarantee you lamborghini

00:40:30.680 knows exactly based on where you are your goip and the spec of the car they'll know what client

00:40:37.640 that is right i haven't even delivered that many of them so that's kind of a ballsy move

00:40:42.620 of a dealership to be like hey hit us up we have a revolto for sale it's like no you don't is it

00:40:48.060 but i mean that person's in trouble what what is the game that i've seen people play where they're

00:40:52.940 selling allocations sometimes it's fake i mean that's a whole thing in itself fraud yeah you

00:40:58.300 gotta watch over fraud like wiring 50 grand for an allocation and then which seems dumb because

00:41:04.140 when i've seen that it's like really big ticket cars yeah you know i've actually saw that a lot

00:41:08.620 with the yesco i saw guys saying they had yesco allocations really yeah i didn't think it happened

00:41:14.460 like the middle east level that's what i saw huh yeah and the porsche gt3 rs is selling for

00:41:21.820 it was for a while there was like double when they first came out yeah yeah don't buy don't

00:41:27.820 don't buy that car for double no it's going to come down everyone has yeah what what other stuff

00:41:33.820 do you think the who's who's doing it best in the supercar space because there's some new ones

00:41:39.020 coming out right these new electric yeah it depends on if you're a fan of that you know

00:41:42.880 i feel really old saying this but i i hate electric cars okay yeah i just think it's too premature

00:41:50.640 i think that uh the electric cars are and this is my opinion are not the thing that's gonna

00:41:59.220 remotely even put a dent in the you know problem of why they're allegedly here it's very interesting

00:42:07.180 to me why the governments are pushing for manufacturers to be full electric by 2035

00:42:13.480 yeah um now especially low production numbers like the supercars yeah like hybrid assisted uh cars

00:42:22.580 i don't have that big of a problem with like look how cool the p1 is i was just talking about how

00:42:26.320 the p1 out accelerates the senna and that's only due to the electric motors yeah you know so that's

00:42:33.520 cool but let's keep the combustion engine around and let's make cars sound cool and keep that soul

00:42:39.540 and that enthusiasm that we like and because electric cars just lose it you know it just it

00:42:45.280 loses the theater it does so when you look at the because you said you drove the revolto revolto

00:42:51.260 revolto yeah and when you pronounce it i was like well done sir because i'm not going to get it

00:42:55.560 usually i pronounce everything wrong well you got that one i think nailed um compared to an sf90

00:43:01.140 how do you feel like man you can't compare them yeah lamborghini is such a different beast and i

00:43:09.260 love i used to love doing this when i was uh you know not into owning and driving exotics pre-dde

00:43:16.940 i used to be like oh i had the lamborghini this versus the ferrari that it's like they are apples

00:43:24.400 and oranges yeah they are so different they're not even on the same trajectory for what they're

00:43:29.680 both trying to accomplish yeah so comparing them is impossible kind of silly it's silly it's goofy

00:43:36.320 now an sf90 is a wickedly fast cool car i think it looks cool too i mean is there a point where it

00:43:44.560 going from zero to what the hell am i doing like that that's where does it stop i mean that's the

00:43:50.160 thing with the electric assist like the p stuff for me is a lot of power i couldn't imagine having

00:43:55.040 some torque filling where it literally goes from like zero to 1.4 seconds into a tree at warp speed

00:44:00.960 because like it's just so much you'd be shocked so driving the revolto thousand horsepower brand

00:44:06.800 new lamborghini yeah it didn't now i'm a bit jaded i have a lot of thousand plus horsepower cars

00:44:13.120 and various different engine trims and stuff like that yeah so i'm used to it but i was expecting it

00:44:21.200 to be more violent it's not that's what i was asking you could hand the keys of a thousand

00:44:25.840 horsepower volto to your wife and she could cruise around not a problem okay so that's quite different

00:44:31.440 it's not like the snappy instant gonna shoot you like a rocket into a tree yeah yeah no yeah it's

00:44:38.880 amazing you know there was a time when 400 horsepower was like the big thing godly yeah

00:44:43.680 well then and then i jump into the gt3 which is from a driver's experience just so fun because

00:44:49.920 it's not overly powered so it means you really get to play with the car at the upper limits without

00:44:55.760 again without getting in trouble with the law right you get that 9 000 rpm and it's just the

00:45:00.000 audio of it yeah um somebody's debating because like this is i remember i went through this

00:45:05.280 struggle when I bought my first car around trying to make it about what I wanted versus I was taking

00:45:11.940 a lot of opinions from other people yeah I've been I've been down that road it's just it's tough

00:45:16.200 because you're like I don't know so I'm not going to not listen but the same time I don't want to

00:45:19.920 buy something for somebody else like I want the car color I want I want the car what do you if

00:45:24.900 somebody was buying their first supercar regardless of what they're spending how would you tell them

00:45:29.580 to approach the decision of what kind of car they should get for them that's a really good that's a

00:45:35.180 good question i i do get that question and i tell people to go and test drive cars and get a little

00:45:41.780 bit of experience under their belt before they go and just drop their money on something drive

00:45:46.360 drive all as many as you can and through that experience just like anything in life you're

00:45:52.680 going to come out with an understanding of what it is you liked over something else and then at

00:45:58.920 the end of the day if you're buying used just try to buy something in your favorite color right

00:46:04.900 because you're going to be staring at it every day for a long time yeah if if you kind of have a

00:46:09.420 little inkling like oh i want something really loud but that's not really something you've ever

00:46:13.800 done before don't do it because it'll just bite you in the butt like if you get a lime green

00:46:18.660 porsche and you take it home and that's the rest of your house is pretty muted it's going to stand

00:46:24.420 like a sore thumb you're also going to get a ton of attention so you definitely need to buy a car

00:46:29.840 based on your current situation personality you know don't get in over your head don't try to

00:46:37.760 buy something and even that don't buy something by the price yeah just because a car is more

00:46:42.360 expensive doesn't make it cooler yeah everybody watching you drive around your car honestly no

00:46:47.080 one cares everybody's thinking about themselves don't buy something by the price is that what

00:46:51.520 you said yeah don't don't don't go and get an exotic car just for attention right like don't

00:46:58.760 go out and be like i think you know uh verde scandal aventador is going to be the best car

00:47:05.720 because it's going to get me a ton of attention right a lot of people don't like driving

00:47:10.900 aventadors like they're kind of clunky it's you got to get into how that car drives to appreciate

00:47:15.940 it even the svj which is the best version of that model line and i have people who are like i hate

00:47:22.520 the svj and i'm like that blows my mind because i love it one of my favorite cars of all time that

00:47:28.400 I've ever had right but that's the difference between people your experience what you do so go

00:47:34.720 out buy something that is definitely within your budget and buy something that you've done the

00:47:41.640 homework on based on maintenance because there are cars that require more maintenance like you

00:47:45.940 buy a Bugatti Veyron this is a little over the top but to some people Bugatti Veyron is still

00:47:51.240 you know it's only in that one one one to one you know call it two million for a rare spec but like

00:47:57.640 they're a million dollar car like I could have got that instead of a Senna here's a good example

00:48:02.000 I could have got a Bugatti Veyron for the same price I paid for my Senna do you know what the

00:48:08.120 service the service scheduling on a Veyron is well first of all the tires are glued to the rims

00:48:14.420 is that why they're so that's one reason or something yes yes you change the tires which

00:48:19.820 by the way you cannot take to any tire shop no it has to go car goes to the to Bugatti they take

00:48:26.320 that they used to take the rims and tires off i think there's a machine in north america that

00:48:30.020 does it now but they used to take your rims and tires off send them to back to france they'd take

00:48:34.640 your tires off they put new tires on for 55 000 usd you do that three times then you need to also

00:48:42.520 replace the rims because they're glued to the rims now you're like at a hundred plus thousand dollars

00:48:47.320 after three tire changes the oil change in that car is like 25 000 because they have to go in

00:48:55.740 take all the body work off i mean that car is ridiculous and then they made the sheer on which

00:49:00.000 has none of those issues it's normal tires you can put them on but if you don't understand what

00:49:05.660 you're getting into that's where you can get into hot water yeah and as you go into the later years

00:49:10.040 of supercars some of them have more maintenance like a murcielago i love this car but you got

00:49:16.140 to stay on top of the maintenance because it's got older tech it's the accessories that are going to

00:49:20.320 let you down it's like a belt or a pulley or you know your aco go out or the petcock valve on your

00:49:26.680 mercy radiator those are things that fail not the motor not the trans most of the time that's so

00:49:31.440 cool yeah i want to ask about gumball because i mean rallies again i was watching rallies it seems

00:49:38.780 like you guys are creating so much content you're meeting fans i mean your fans are ridiculous i

00:49:43.000 messaged you while you were doing i was like dude dm don't mess around they are passionate i love it

00:49:48.800 and the way you guys support them and give them like you did the the key things and you're just

00:49:52.780 always trying to just love on them um what if somebody's considering because i've never done a

00:49:58.460 rally the people that have supercars have never done a rally what would you say to them kind of

00:50:03.240 like buying a car start small okay right even if you could afford to go on gumball the next gumball

00:50:09.140 by the way is southeast asia we start in vietnam did you find the car because i know you came here

00:50:14.560 looking for one did you guys get the car that you're going to ship there i so in the end we

00:50:19.640 got my car done like no way literally by the last hour it was my eventador svj which i've already

00:50:27.240 done two of my three gumballs in so now it's going to do its third i shipped that car to europe and

00:50:33.080 back now that car is in a container on its way to vietnam so yeah i mean that's the big boy pants

00:50:41.640 rally right like that is on different continents than you live in your cars on there are and it's

00:50:48.080 how much is it to go to gumball like all said and done expenses travel shipping that depends on the

00:50:54.840 person okay so the entry fee for this one i believe is about a hundred thousand dollars usd

00:50:59.740 that doesn't include you getting your car to and from the event the events in vietnam so pay for

00:51:07.120 all that you pay for all your own gas you have to get by special insurance which is through gumball

00:51:12.740 so we're talking 100 i'd say i i will be into this with dave for dde as 175 000 usd expense

00:51:22.300 by the time we do the rally get back now dave and i are middle aged we're middle aged we're fun guys

00:51:30.440 to be around but we don't go to clubs you don't have a support team i don't drink yeah um and

00:51:36.400 when dave drinks he doesn't drink a lot he has a couple of drinks we don't do anything else we

00:51:40.420 don't do any recreational drugs gambling we don't uh i gamble a little bit but not like i don't like

00:51:45.560 some guys go like 20 50 grand in yeah i'd go and spend a few hundred bucks at a blackjack table

00:51:51.360 because it's fun but like that's where your expenses are going to add up if you're like

00:51:55.280 the person and there are guys that come out and do this who want to do like bottle service at the

00:52:00.640 club every night on gumball right the flex uh that gets i mean forget about the entry fee these guys

00:52:07.460 are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a week doing crazy stuff and i've seen it because

00:52:12.500 you can go to the club and watch someone and some of them you said like because of the the trunk

00:52:16.780 space we were looking at it's some of them have support vehicles they don't have to worry but

00:52:20.180 they'll do the sto yeah right sto there are people who are breaking there's a lot of sto's actually

00:52:25.440 on this year's gumball and the sto has zero this is the smallest frunk i've ever seen in my life

00:52:29.300 yeah it's only meant for a helmet it's like the barely fits a helmet it wouldn't fit a double xl

00:52:33.100 correct so yeah these guys are these guys are bringing support vehicles like escalades and

00:52:38.520 stuff that are wrapped to match their car some guys bring three vehicles and what's crazy is

00:52:44.180 in the middle east in europe you could rent an exotic car and do gumball you cannot rent a car

00:52:50.360 in asia so every one of the hundred plus supercars that are coming it's between 100 or 120 they have

00:52:57.680 every one of those cars is the person's actual personal vehicle so we call this like the big

00:53:04.240 boy version of gumball because you can't just you can't get out of the shipping fees and just rent

00:53:09.440 a car for 25 grand for no no you got to be all in you're all in let's go but if you're going to do

00:53:14.540 a rally i would suggest north america there's plenty of good rallies you go do gold rush rally

00:53:18.940 which i just did with my wife tons of fun you start in one location in north america drive eight

00:53:24.520 or nine days and in another location they have events planned all along the way um i really

00:53:30.120 believe that it's a lot of fun and that's why i did it you know so so wrapping up on that specific

00:53:35.960 theme what are your philosophies for people that like what would you tell somebody that owns a

00:53:42.800 supercar or is thinking to get one in regards to the ethos of sharing it with the the people

00:53:50.140 because like i you know like man you came to my office and you parked out front and we came out it

00:53:54.940 was a car show like literally and you were so kind letting people take photos and be around and

00:54:01.580 like do you is that something that you're like hey if you have these kind of cars you should share

00:54:05.820 versus trying to keep people away and get mad because they take a photo what was your what are

00:54:10.380 your two cents on that yeah again i think it comes down to your personality if it bugs you to have

00:54:16.780 that type of money invested in something and you take a lot of pride in it which I get you know

00:54:21.820 and you are nervous because maybe you've got some scar tissue from another experience or something

00:54:27.600 like that's on an individual basis I'm all about sharing I really believe what you put out to the

00:54:33.600 universe is what you're going to get back I always try to put out tons of positive energy I never

00:54:38.200 think about people hurting my car or having a door ding because people ask me all the time how

00:54:42.360 are you barking the santa amongst all the other cars they call me you know the regular cars when

00:54:47.360 you go to the grocery store when you're at the hotel and i just say well i don't know i've never

00:54:51.140 had a door ding i don't put that out there i don't think anyone's gonna hurt my car right i think it's

00:54:56.180 i think it's the mentality um i love sharing the car if i can i'll let people get in it if there's

00:55:01.960 a lot of people i say no because that you let one person in i try to you're done i try to be fair

00:55:08.180 right so if i let someone sit in it it's either going to be a child where i can be like oh i let

00:55:14.720 the kid sit in it you know and then i can say no to the you know 19 year old teenager and all the

00:55:19.140 other adults at a car show because i'm like i just let the kid sit in it for a sec and they're like

00:55:23.120 i get it but um yeah if you're around in a gas station i put plenty of people in my car so i've

00:55:28.000 had a few people just like again last week i was driving to senna i had at one gas station a young

00:55:33.340 kid get in and then i like had another gas stop the following day i had like probably a 65 year

00:55:39.680 old woman who was just losing her over this car and i was like i was like this is so cool

00:55:43.880 i don't normally get older women who appreciate the car you want to sit so i was like you want

00:55:48.640 to sit in it i was just pumping gas but yeah yeah i like it dude no one's gonna hurt the car more

00:55:54.220 than me right that's my opinion i'm like get in it kick kick the carbon on the way and it's all
