As someone who lives in NY and was a part of this community for years, I realized that a lot of this is clout chasing and hype or an underlying desire to be recognized for doing dumb stuff. I stopped going to all the meets because most have died, lots of these kids don't even know why they are into cars. I just go to cars and coffee in PA or some events in CT way better and with real enthusiasts. The NYC car scene is just cringe. Also lots of these people have never gotten real driving lessons and are literally battling death everyday by driving recklessly.
Sounds exactly right. All car enthusiasts I know don’t weave in and out of traffic during rush hour, cover their cars in stickers that have their Instagram handle, or not even know what their “sponsors” did to their engine. Most that I have met are not yelling 24/7. The only people I know that do those things are Instagram clout chasers. I live in a part of the country where the majority of car culture around here is classic cars, and there is a small subset of tuner culture, but nothing like that shitshow like what’s in the video. A lot of the organizers of the car meets around here put a lot of effort to making these events a safe place to enjoy cars, where you won’t get run down by a stray mustang, or beemer in this video. Which makes the meets so much more relaxed and enjoyable.
Bro you just a hater like i don’t kno why you talkin son like you prolly got a Honda you just mad you not like us like come to us and race us and we’ll see if you can talk all that ❗️ you just mad you not like us 🤣 nyc to the top ‼️
"He's next level, he's got a sponsor so they make his gears stronger or whatever" Yeah... these definitely sound like car enthusiasts and not 6 year olds that barely know what a car is.
I love how all of them drive bmws. Like the most basic thing you can do to be a car guy wannabe. Only dude that got my respect was the Reaf dude. He rised from being extremely poor to this. Im not surr if its entirely legal the way he did it, but still respect.
tino897 Dude was still a fucking dork. “Coming from nothing” is everyone’s back story. Guy still knows nothing about the culture he’s pretending to love.
There's another Mpire group in London and here they are also a joke. Their requirement to join their group is you need to either have an M car or have over 500bhp. The guy who runs the UK side drives a stock MK4 Supra with less that 200hp and claims he's spent £15k building it, he hasn't. Refuses to show anyone his engine bay or race anyone.
Just for everyone watching who’s not actually involved in the automotive world either mainstream or grassroots, all the bmw guys in this video are the jacked up instagram tools everyone else makes fun of. Not indicative of the many chill people with way more exciting cars than an auto beamer... Another swing and miss on this culture Vice :/
SULPHITES CARCINOGENS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that guy knew like nothing about his car like he didn’t even pop the hood for the video you can tell he didn’t build his car
When he's telling the story of how his friend died in the car crash and he says "He thought we're gonna race or something, and Im like NO NO". I feel like he's either lying for the camera, or he feels so guilty that he told himself that that's what happened and started believing this, in order to not blame himself for his friend's death. Just think about it, this man is in a car with three girls, and he's gonna be motioning "no" with his finger to the other car? Doesn't seem likely.
i was thinking the same, makes sense for that level of guilt. and the way he is in this documentary alone, I can't imagine a younger version of him with a car full of girls

Unfortunately in NYC, you don't have to be good to have a successful business. Recently got my windows tinted, and they did a shit job despite being a legit tinting place. They were packed, and get constant business. There's just too much demand, not enough supply. It's not like a small town where reputation matters. Half the shops here don't have an online presence and change their name every couple of months.

A real driver always wear safety belts because if you’re driving your car right, you’re going to get thrown around the cabin without being belted in. Putting a belt on is like strapping the car on.

Just because you don't agree with their lifestyle doesn't mean they don't represent car culture. This is exactly how most non-car people see enthusiast. Whether they're a *good* representation of the culture is another story. Obviously street racing is dumb, and dangerous to anyone involved directly or indirectly. Some people commenting on here just straight hypocrites acting like they never done a highway pull or a burnout.
thats what im saying. Even without "vice" Filming disregarding there culture they're racing and placing down BETS and still upgrading cars and what such. If they're going up against each other in the street blocking the roads. It''s litterally called street racing. idk why they dont like the guy in the ponytail i think hes cool.

Unfortunately in NYC, you don't have to be good to have a successful business. Recently got my windows tinted, and they did a shit job despite being a legit tinting place. They were packed, and get constant business. There's just too much demand, not enough supply. It's not like a small town where reputation matters. Half the shops here don't have an online presence and change their name every couple of months.
Don’t be shy. The father would most likely like to talk to his son’s friend. It is like feeling his son’s presence and who he was through the stories and life of his son’s friend. Don’t be shy.

As soon as I saw New York and street race I was waiting for the Albanians to appear 😂
lol
Yooo for real same here. Only reason i watched hahah
Hahaha bro Monolo and mpireboyz loves Albanians
Do the albanians have a value in street races in NY? I'm not from there.
Ciku pretty much have value in NY street and pop culture here
every kid who played nfs back in the good old days, this was the dream life. Street racing, cars/bikes, and a whole lot of car freaks who have a passion for the same thing as you.

Street pendejos
and you can’t do any of that🤣
Alright so I was here at the shoot and there’s some things i’d like to say
1:This doesn’t portray the NY car scene at all. Mpire boyz is an IG team they don’t portray the real car scene out here
2: at 5:26 after the mercades does the burnout and rubber is on the street, it wasn’t the mercades, it was a 5.0 mustang
Can we push this comment up a bit?
Vice man...you used to be cool.
I second this and I was there too.
Why was this so wack?
THANK YOU. These people are a joke. The scene used to be bigger but with all the exposure and police infiltration its become harder to actually race and organize the shit. Some kids made a youtube video of them speeding on the highway and all of a sudden they are "street racers". Get the fuck outta here.
Bruh how can anything you say be trusted when you spell Mercedes like “mercades”...
I was waiting to see some cool cars. This “scene “ leaves a bit to be desired.

“Hey instagram boys pretend you’re on need for speed most wanted”
A real driver always wear safety belts because if you’re driving your car right, you’re going to get thrown around the cabin without being belted in. Putting a belt on is like strapping the car on.
Haha , the way I drive ?
I always use a seat belt.
Sometimes I install a little clip on it to hold me tight in the seat so you can't move around.
To me , wearing a belt is cool , not wearing one is uncool.
Dontcha wanna be cool like a racecar driver ?
They wear seatbelts.
No one in that video knows what or ever seen a real driver in person.

Remember the time one of you Mpireboyz ran over a NYC police officer in time square doing an open-diff one-wheel-peel in a C63 AMG, then hit a bunch of cars getting away? Let's here that story.
Word up it’s on UA-cam
I think he got away too
maybe not but he was Wildn
It’s on viralhog
Shit that was them
The fact he got away though. After running over a cop, in times square.
Not saying we should condone that behavior, but that's a lot of street cred
they got away but they were later caught. The driver was charged with attempted murder and the passenger was counted as a "witness"
