I'm thrilled that Porsche is still committing R&D to internal combustion. Hopefully other manufacturers will do the same because ICE (probably ICE-electric hybrids) will remain the most viable option for consumers well into the future. With Mercedes AMG's Formula 1 power unit "only" achieving approximately 50% efficiency there's still plenty of room for advancement of the technology.
Jesus F Christ. This happens once in a lifetime. Currently translating an English language car user's manual on 250+ pages. At 8:28 the guys are talking about how, when a vehicle in front of him turns off his lane, his adaptive cruise control accelerates like crazy. Guess what the sentence says I'm currently translating? When the targen vehicle driving ahead leaves the highway or turns, the adapctive cruise control will lose the target and the system may accelerate automatically. The difference between these two items (basically the same sentence in the video and in the manual) was maximum two seconds. Either way - here in Latvia, driving school is a pretty involved process - we're allowed full category B driver's licence from 18 (including all cars and vans up to 3.5 tons gross weight, and bikes up to 50 hp I think, and up from there starting at 21 years). After taking the mandatory theory and driving classes (I believe the number is at 20 classes, each 1.5 hours), the student takes the driving school's exam - and then the state exam (organised here by the same state institution that does the annual mandatory MOT inspection). The state exam is done on a computer constisting of 60 questions within 30 minutes with maximum, I believe, 2 mistakes - for the theoretical part - and then the driving part, where you drive a state (or the same institution's) provided car , bike or truck (depending on the licence category) and aren't allowed more than 2 mistakes, I believe, in your approximately 1 hour of driving. Either way - returning from a recent long trip to Germany - I still determined, with zero error of course, that people here still drive like idiots. I don't, of course. That is what unlimited motorbahns do to you. You drive like Ferdinand Porsche. Or Mr Horch. Or old Gottlieb. Wait... they're all dead. Hmmm. Anyway. Thanks for the talk - from Latvia.
The technology simply isn't there for self-driving vehicles. I drive my Ram most days instead of my Miata not for gas mileage, or driving pleasure, or for cargo capacity, but because it's only a matter of when, not if, some Tesla careens into me because the dimwit behind the wheel wasn't anticipating the hand-off. Just remember if your self-driving death box kills someone, it won't be the car going to prison.
With the koenigsegg jesko, they found a leaking hydraulic line that dripped onto the exhaust catching fire. It was quickly rectified and all recalled instantly
I paid like $2500 for my car+bike license decades ago. Nowadays motorcycle is 5 hours driving minimum, car is 10h. Plus minimum of 4 hours of theory. Additional 4+4 hours (theory+driving) of risk management is added on a bit later. In the Nordics, that usually includes driving school in the snow and dark. Can be partially done on a simulator too.
I live in the UP and have always owned and driven trucks. Even here, where most people have pickups, my wife and I always wonder why there aren't more driver's license classifications!
3:42 the beeps don’t even work even with lane assist people STILL DONT USE THEIR DAMN BLINKERS! EVEN WHEN IT ALERTS YOU AND THE WHEEL TRIES TO CORRECT YOU.
4:58 that's crazy. People really are more attached to their phone than anything else nowadays it seems. I wonder how we're gonna be going about this in the near future
The thing with truck's is, yeah they're stupid expensive. But they definitely arnt too big. For anyone that actually uses a truck, you realize very soon that they arnt really big enough to practically haul half of what you want. F150's now are rated at about a ton of weight in the bed. Doesn't take much before your down on the stops. Same with pulling a trailer. You realize you need an f350 really soon and even those get down there sooner than you'd like them too. Sure if you have a gooseneck and can afford to properly distribute the load they haul a crap ton of weight. But generally it's odd loads where you just stack stuff in a way that it fits on a trailer. And then you're driving with a nasty Carolina squat. Gotta use a semi pretty often. But then in terms of luxury, why should we not get the same luxuries of an SUV or sedan just because we have a truck? We wanna haul weight and still get all those nice features. Are they overpriced? Yes. But they arnt too big. You live in a country that's run by semi's. A pickup truck isn't even half as big.
Finance is killing the car industry. People keep financing cars without reading the print they see that people aren’t looking at how much a new car actually cost so companies are increasing the prices of cars to increase the finance prices and then they never actually sell the car at the price because it was never worth it so the cars “come down in price” second hand buyers think they’re getting a good price but again it was so over inflated prior that the companies selling these ex finance cars still make good money it a viscous cycle
I mean yeah, but what are people suppose to do? Most people can’t just buy a car outright, and a lot of people see leasing as a losing game (which it is) so there’s not really a solution. We can’t strike the finance departments of car companies for them.
This is so hard to watch! You guys in LA and California are like in another country. So far out of touch with blue collar rural America. We got $200k houses and 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks in every driveway that do work on a daily basis! Just keep voting blue...it will get better 😅.
The fact a low production run vehicle with less than 15k examples has already PUBLICLY had 2 complete melt downs is wild. Stop trying to make light of Toyotas failures
The G16-GTE can suffer from LSPI (Low Speed Pre Ignition). Toyota dealers clearly aren't stocking their Service department with 0W-20 with the LSPI prevention additives because Toyota brand 0W-20 doesn't have that in it (Royal Purple does make one with it though). These cars both had the same thing happen to them; a hole in the cylinder wall of the block which led to a fire. The stock turbo can push over 25psi of boost into the combustion chamber and has a vacuum controlled BOV. So when these guys are driving longer distances, and I've experienced it in my GRC, if you hit the gas pedal a little harder than you should at such a low RPM in 6th, you get a ridiculous amount of boost being immediately forced into this tiny block. This is what can eventually create an LSPI situation and can end in a hole in the block or a shattered piston on the first LSPI event. Not saying Toyota's handling of the situation is right, because I don't believe it is. It most definitely should be included in the warranty and their "over 85mph is considered abuse" excuse is ridiculous. But I believe they will make it right if it continues to happen. Just trying to shed light on a situation because most people don't read past the headline. This car really is a marvel and Toyota deserves respect for keeping the rally-inspired street car alive for their consumers. 😅
Man it seems like California is hell from the conversations these people have and it's just normalised. When everything at a base level is infected with insanity it's best to get out of it or it will just bring you down with it.
Good on Nolan. My boy has been working hard for a long time so I hope he can enjoy the honeymoon. Good on you lads for supporting him at the wedding.
"oh yeah, my Fit can do that" can apply to so much lol those cars RULE

Left lane reminder is wanted by everyone for someone else. Not for themselves.
Hiiii
I think they should call it 3JZ
Also please put timestamps
It couldnt be called a JZ because those are i6 engines 🤷🏽
It should be called the 4S-GTE
Nolan! Nolan! Drink one on us!
There's a video called "These Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us" on YT about trucks being a complete scam and just how insane they are.
Good podcast. On a more important note.... where do i get that mini toolbox? Lol
coming soon!
Apocalypse car? 1 wire deisel, light as possible, 4x4, with tall go-slow gearing.
I live in the UP and have always owned and driven trucks. Even here, where most people have pickups, my wife and I always wonder why there aren't more driver's license classifications!

The apocalypse...I would want a Nissan Patrol TD42T... with 85KW...
Might be the slowest car in the universe...but it'll go forever...
Congratulations Nolan 🎉
Riding in an Uber where the driver isn’t paying any attention, on there phone letting the adaptive cruise control do everything is honestly terrifying
Gotta love every time they drop new content

Damn I was hoping you'd talk about the new Celica in the thumbnail 😪
So much “age realization” this week boys…post wedding clarity?
its interesting Jobie went to Nolan's bachelor party but Jerry went to Italy for channel stuff... hmmm...
These guys saying they couldn't afford a GR Corolla destroys my dreams for the future.
With the gemera i3 I believe they cancelled that and are making it a v8 hybrid to have I think 2/3k horsepower

Old 5.9 mechanical Cummins greater than EMP. 😂
Forgot I was subbed to this channel, oh how time flies, I don't hate you guys or anything it's just not the same, best wishes in life.
Way to make this about you. If you wanna stop watching their content, you can quietly unsubscribe. We don't need to hear it
Im with filipe bring back small trucks!

Toyota can't go full electric. Their other parts company departments 🏬 would suffer.
Oh man, if only I had a Dollar everytime the minority report movie gets brought up on a daily basis. Why is it so relevant? I haven't seen it.

😢 i guess
Only 2 engine fires have been reported w that 3 cylinder. Hardly the “problem” you guys are inferring. Would think u guys are more informed.
“Reported to the public” there I fixed your bad take.

Nope, all this tech just leads to worse/more distracted drivers. Terrible!
