Dudes I never thought I’d get these types of opportunities... and I never would have without you guys pushing me and supporting us all the way! What a sick day with the RTR team!!!
when he told cleetus not to stress at all “its just a wheel” and you can literally hear the tone in his voice change to like ohh okay this is what fun fun is😂😂
Pushing someone to the failure point is the best way to learn. Go as fast and a shard as you can until you fail.. then go one step down and work from there. This was Vaughn's way of pushing cleet to the brink. Kudos to amazing drivers
IMMEDIATELY after he rips the Fox Vaughn puts Cleeter in a more expensive ride. That's how you build confidence in your drivers. That's how you build up teammates. I absolutely adore the people you've surrounded yourself with Cleetus.
Im guessing it was more of a reward because vaughn talks more sternly to him now when he wnats to teach him something and then he tried it and did it and had an incident but rewarded him for trying and listening by putting him in the rtrx and the demo car
Gotta have that tone to get a point across. School was in session so it was best to have a different tone to make sure the person listens lol. But still pretty funny lol
I got a ride along with V.G. jr at a Dodge function years ago before he got real big and a Dodge Magnum RT with no electronics engaged and shit was it fun and something that I'll never forget
well several time throughout the video vaughn called him "buddy" and "son" so im kinda wondering if at this point vaughn is trying to treat him like his son like hes part of his family and thats why he talks more stern when he wants him to learn something and then rewards him by driving the rtrx and the demo car
What a legend Vaughn is. He gives you legit drifting tips, let you drive his car and let you crash it "it's fine"! Vaughn get that FD championship, you deserve it a second time!
He did didn't he,, he would not have been so tough on someone he felt wasn't competent enough for taking constructive AND positive criticism and putting it to good use. Cleetus has the skills,, worthy of Vaughn's teaching. Sort of like Mr. Miyagi teaching 'tha kid' how to put wax on and take it off! Go Garrett, YOU'VE GOT THIS BUDDY!
I love both these dudes, but i think Vaughn is just lettin him do more because of his Capitol . If he didn't think our boy cletus couldn't pay for major damages, he wouldn't let em touch one of these beautiful cars.
Did I hear a drill?... Dale! No power tools!... oh what? No power tools! You know what, I forgot I gotta brush my teeth!... That is not your toothbrush!... oh, okay well I'm all done anyways! Lmao .... bed breaks hahaha The bunk beds were a terrible idea why would you let us do that?
This is such a no brainer yet I haven't heard it mentioned and it hasn't even crossed my mind. Maybe not a 7 or 8 second 1/4 but at least a rip or 2. Why hasn't this happened? well done sir.
VAUGHAN IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING DRIVERS IVE EVER SEEN HOWEVER, VAUGHAN IS AN EVEN BETTER PERSON THAN A DRIVER! In a world of chaos and craziness its people like Vaughan, his team, and Cleet that gives me hope for humanity!👍🔥💯 The RTR-X 69 Mustang is just unbelievable! What a beautiful car!

So between those two things, I doubt he or we have much to worry about.
Vaughn is just a top guy and you know he was ready for that when his guys pull out a XXXL bag of zip ties. Is it just me or does anyone else get the idea that at some point Vaughn want's Cleetus in a RTR car as a third driver ?
From what I saw today vs. where ole Cleeter started, that is a good possibility. He's growing in leaps and bounds. I just wonder if his schedule could handle something like that with all the drag racing stuff, and his freedom factory dreams.
Pretty sure the Fox is half zip tie half engine with wheels any way...... Learn to drive(or anything)with the worlds Best giving you everything they know. With ambition and open Ears, you become the worlds Best!!!! When not if, maybe a few years down the track? And all of a sudden Leroy and ruby SOLD...... Nek Minute 7 sec stick shift MUSTANG.......
I don’t care what anyone says, drifting is your best content. The fact that you’re pretty much getting lessons from an FD OG is so dope. Keep it up Cleet. Ps. Two hands on the wheel buddy.
What I think is cool is, with the drags you see Cleetus grow on his own and with his friends, and here with the drifting we get to see Cleetus as more of a student learning from a legend in Formula Drift. You get to see multiples sides with Cleetus which is what makes his channel so cool on top of all the other silly shit these guys do imo.
Vaughn seems like one of the coolest guys. Forget money, forget what he has. He's just a down to earth dude with a chill vibe. Some of your best content Cleet is when you two get together. This video was absolutely fantastic.
i don't know why i used to think back then Vaughn was a douche. i'm so glad i was proven wrong, really makes me wish i get the chance to meet him someday
Totally agree! I'm not a big fan of drifting, but watching him do his thing and his interaction with Ol' Cleetus has made me a big fan of Vaughn as a person. He is an all around stellar dude!
What a kind, generous, and patient teacher. Despite not being a big fan of drifting I'll gladly call myself a big fan of Mr. Gittin. The man clearly deserves all the respect. Big thumbs up.
I'm reading all of these comments about how great of a teacher Vaughn is and how well Cleet takes the criticism and instruction, which i totally agree with, but one thing is more important and stands out over the rest of it that truly speaks to his humility: Cleetus just shared the entire experience, good and bad, with complete strangers on UA-cam! .
That is extremely genuine! As an Aussie we bag ourselves or admit stuff ups like a 🏆...... But (no criticism) Americans just generally Don’t...... It is why I think that anyone who ever watches 1 clip, would Subscribes or come back
Cleet understands that deep down, most Americans love an underdog. So he knows showing the bad with the good only enhances his connection to his viewers.
This is one of the main reasons I love watching Cleetus. He likes talking a big talk and messing around, but he's also really humble and admits when he makes a mistake and tries to learn from it.
Everyone sees how good Vaughn is at giving advise but I'm noticing how well Cleetus is taking his constructive criticism too👀 That's what's enabling him to progress his driving skills so much
And Alec. Immediately when he was done Vaugh said see how much better it wsa when you were smooth, and gave him a wrap for listening and actually doing it.
Same with Alec, let's be realistic here anyone who has someone like Vaughan, willing to teach you and good you, solid to the point constrictive criticism. You dam well swallow any pride or ego you have and listen, well unless you're on the special side. Though no everyone can apply the advice quite as quickly as they both did
@@Dlawler in reality though him & Cleet are friends Alec alike Vaughn is an amazing drift teacher but they're both taking all the hints & tips like champs
Dude the trust that Vaughn has in fleet is incredible. What a solid dude, gives him stern instruction like a dad trying to teach his kid but it’s all out of love
Can we just call Vaughn: Papa Gitten Jr😂 he’s always teaching and being a good freakin person. Mad respect, and Cleet.. HELL YEAH BROTHERRR! looking awesome!
Vaughn's calmness after two of his cars tagging each other is super cool, he sounded more upset that cleetus was giving him room on entry lol def got a perfect instructor cleet
When your drifting you don’t care about the car, it’s a tool if it wrecks it wrecks it’s all rebuildable, but sliding in tandem or even just practice is what makes the fun. No drifter that’s on a track has sympathy or care about what happens with it. As long as the driver walks out it’s back to the tent wrench and drink beer until the car is back on the track
If you haven't seen it before go watch Vaughns drift battles for podiums or ones with Chelsea and you'll see how much aint care he has for his cars haha
Ya vaughn doesnt care about his cars orlando 2 years ago was nut when he wrecked the rtr the only one i see him slightly caring about the rtr x where that his personal car
Gotta give props to Alec man.. friend moved down to help Cleetus out and now look at him ripping around the track, doing great for only few laps around the Freedom Factory. Keep getting it man! What a good friend Cleet is to for letting him get some time in behind the wheels to, taking him along for the ride. Don't find people or friends like that very often. Keep the bald eagles flyin'
Probably can’t because of Ford sponsorship but probably will see a future ford drag car in the cleet Chanel, by the way the old mustang he bought for the bossted boyz challenge its being built for drag, so don’t be surprised if it is for vaugh to rip
I love watching a good teacher have a positive experience with a good student. No ego, no bullshit sugar coating, just honest constructive criticism accepted and acted upon for a positive end result.
So amazed at Vaughn’s teaching, and proud for some reason for Cleetus’s humility and wanting to soak it up. Being humble isn’t observed too often these days. Keep freaking rocking it!
I love the fact that Vaughn treats cleetus like a team mate when discussing lines and stuff. He doesn't sugar coat and is definitely sharing his years of experience, just like when Chelsea joined RTR (not comparing cleetus to Chelsea, just the stories I've heard from Chelsea about when he joined the team seem to be the same)
@@leocablao5661 ahhhhhh...... TRUE THAT... They would not be keen to see him in a GMC Machine..... Why I did not put 2 and 2 together I don’t know...... 😊👍
1:52 and here we see the native giraffe, foraging in it's natural habitat. The cones are wary of it's presence at first, but quickly go back about their business.
That was amazing. The teaching, the trust to let you rip a car that one of a kind. Thats only been driven normally by a couple of people. That is a HUGE amount of trust and love.
who here has been following cleetus for years and is absolutely astounded to see how far he's gotten in his career. I remember when he was just shooting vids of races, then helping out, then actually racing. now he owns his own track, has 2 million+ subscribers, and is drifting professionally with Vaughn Gittin Jr.
You can tell you’ve gotten a ton better just in the way Vaughn talks to you when he’s teaching you now. He’s really coaching you now. Great work Cleet.
Who else loves watching Alex or Alec have fun getting to try all this fun stuff??!?! It’s awesome he looks like he made the right choice moving to Florida! Guy is great on and with a camera too!
Congrats Brother, and thanks for taking us along for the ride. I’ve been here since you started the channel, and happy to see all your success. You are living and sharing our dreams, and we appreciate it!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cleetus, your very upstanding for flying Alec out with you and putting him on. (Not just for a camera guy.) From what I can tell, he’s humble and happy to be a part of this channel. Give him a raise and integrate him fully in vids. A sound asset!
gotta give Vaughn props, the man is teaching cleetus and letting him run his cars without even thinking about it, and even when things go south hes just cool with it because he knows it happens. Thats a great teacher and friend right there.
That is so true I have a 97 crown Vic and the suspension is so worn out that when I slide it on the gravel a lot of times the inside front wheel comes off the ground lol.
Look at the journey youve made brother, from just tagging along to races to RIPPPPPIN the USA's only Formula 1 track in a Formula D car lol You done made it brother!!
PREDICTION: Theres gonna be a red, white, and blue RTR Mustang in the pits at Formula D in the future.. cleeter is getting groomed to be on the team lol
Give ole cleet a year or two and I'm willing to bet he'll have a pro2 drive with the RTR team. Then he'll get to compete in his own track at the Freedom Factory Formula Drift event
So much respect for Vaughn Gittin, a total dad teaching moment with ole cletus at 5:20 just awesome to see someone with such talent being so eager to pass on his knowledge.
I love how cool vaughn is with cletus driving his car he never let anyone else drive lol live that relationship and trust. Also who else thought this was the original hoonicorn
He actually let at least one other person drive that car. The guy who is the legendary photographer that has the Hoonigan Autofocus channel. Of course Vaughn rode with him on that drive. It is an amazing opportunity that he gave Cleet though. It shows how much he cares in taking Cleet under his own legendary wing. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
YESSSSS that's what I'm here for! 8:04!!!!!! BAMMM I love living vicariously through you Cleetus, how you managed to be on a course next to that car is beyond me, but watching this video got my heart pumping!
Absolutely love that you and Vaughn are building such a great relationship! The fact that he let you drive that beaut of a mustang really shows that he has faith in you and he does so well at pushing you out of your comfort zone to make you a better driver! I see big things coming soon with you two :D
My jaw is still on the floor! VG jr handing out instructions and lending out car's! You have made me an even bigger fan today brother. Props, respect and thanks for doing this VG and the RTR team.
Cleetus: “Sorry about the fox Vaughn” Vaughn: “It’s all good brother” C: “If I had a little bit more power I could do it” V: “Say Less” *throws keys for his stang* C: “SAY LESS BROTHER!”
I love how Vaughn doesnt get excited just gives cleeter a couple more pointers and gets back atter. Hes a really good teacher and cleetus has gained alot of skill from him. Keep up the great work guys!
Always been a Vaughn fan, but everytime I see him with the boys I become a bigger fan! Seriously one of the coolest people around. Watching him teaching Cleet and Alex, some really cool moments!! Love it!!
What a gift it is to be legit trained by a pro and Vaughn seems like an amazing teacher. And you don't waste any of it..you listen and you take it seriously. Major respect on that. You're getting better and better...a lot. Keep it to the metal
Dudes I never thought I’d get these types of opportunities... and I never would have without you guys pushing me and supporting us all the way! What a sick day with the RTR team!!!
Imagine if you crashed it.
Nice
Man the experience Vaughn is passing to you is so badass.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!! DO IT FOR DALE!! just don't drive it like the ROCKET!!
Frigging sick dude!
Vaughn is a great teacher. Pushing cleet hard to get to where he needs to be. And embracing a "failure" as a teaching moment. Quality.
Scolding some one only makes them upset, to encourage someone through a failure situation is the mark of an excellent teacher.
when he told cleetus not to stress at all “its just a wheel” and you can literally hear the tone in his voice change to like ohh okay this is what fun fun is😂😂
Pushing someone to the failure point is the best way to learn. Go as fast and a shard as you can until you fail.. then go one step down and work from there. This was Vaughn's way of pushing cleet to the brink. Kudos to amazing drivers
Yep and gave him his car to get back on the horse with. Classy.
He's done the same with Ken Blocks daughter showing her how to drift.
Cleet is good to Vaughn's cars, treats them with respect and listens to instruction. Let's hope Vaughn will treat the grass the same way Nov 14. ✌
Don’t count on it lol
lol you're not getting over that anytime soon huh 🤣
Father Timing from Fasterproms Landscaping (Exclusively serving the Freedom Factory) will be there on 11/14 as well... 😂

Hahahahahahah had me dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tough love!
Like he said, if you dont get out of your comfort zone, you will never grow.
God vaughn gittin jr reminds me so much of a dad when he gives ol cleetus pointers. Especially when they love tap
That's probably because he's old enough to be Cleetus' father. Lmao
Did you dad give you tip when you love taped?🤨
That sounds very wrong
And then cleetus firmly says THANK YOU
“Love tap” is not the term you should use. “Fist bump” next time 😆
Next time Vaughn is at the freedom factory we need a wheelman episode.
Only if they bring back the dubbed over 'WHEELMAN' bit
Hell yea brother!!

As cool as that would be, I dont think Vaughn can drive those cars in a video since he is a Ford performance driver
I think Vaughn could rip a 7 in Ruby no problem.
Ye ye get him in ruby for sure he would love it. Bet he can tree the lights man's got a good reaction time.

He explained that he wouldn’t have pushed him if he was worried about damage
20:33 that view of a long bonnet with ITB's sticking out of it, so nice! 😀
2016: I boosted my leased base model dodge ram
2020: Tandem drifting with Vaughn Gittin Jr in his personal 1 of a kind cars
Probably why he train Cleetus so Monster got another driver when he retired and also its free advertising.
@@jakelowang4132 don't think Ford isn't watching VERY closely with all of the content Cleet brings the brand.
No but they should be! I enjoy watching something other than the LS and turbos or LS'S and nitrous kits. Competition is good for everybody!
Seeing Vaughn stop and teach Cleet like an older brother looking out for his little bro. Really like how this was filmed from a POV.
Vaughn is just a top guy and you know he was ready for that when his guys pull out a XXXL bag of zip ties. Is it just me or does anyone else get the idea that at some point Vaughn want's Cleetus in a RTR car as a third driver ?
From what I saw today vs. where ole Cleeter started, that is a good possibility. He's growing in leaps and bounds. I just wonder if his schedule could handle something like that with all the drag racing stuff, and his freedom factory dreams.
Pretty sure the Fox is half zip tie half engine with wheels any way...... Learn to drive(or anything)with the worlds Best giving you everything they know. With ambition and open Ears, you become the worlds Best!!!! When not if, maybe a few years down the track? And all of a sudden Leroy and ruby SOLD...... Nek Minute 7 sec stick shift MUSTANG.......
@@CraftyFatboy lol. Cleetus will never get rid of those two cars. He built his whole channel on them. If he could marry Leroy, he would.
@@ngcolby Very true they are like his hand built children.....
Cleetus already has/had an rtr mustang. He might have sold it don’t know.
I don’t care what anyone says, drifting is your best content. The fact that you’re pretty much getting lessons from an FD OG is so dope. Keep it up Cleet.
Ps. Two hands on the wheel buddy.
Drives me mad seeing him transition with 1 hand 🙈
Holding on to that handbrake is indeed a bad habit. Even if you don't need that second hand you need to keep it away from that hand brake
What I think is cool is, with the drags you see Cleetus grow on his own and with his friends, and here with the drifting we get to see Cleetus as more of a student learning from a legend in Formula Drift. You get to see multiples sides with Cleetus which is what makes his channel so cool on top of all the other silly shit these guys do imo.
Vaughn seems like one of the coolest guys. Forget money, forget what he has. He's just a down to earth dude with a chill vibe. Some of your best content Cleet is when you two get together. This video was absolutely fantastic.
I could not agree more, Vaughn is an outstanding and very temperate teacher.
Agree 100%
i don't know why i used to think back then Vaughn was a douche.
i'm so glad i was proven wrong, really makes me wish i get the chance to meet him someday
Totally agree! I'm not a big fan of drifting, but watching him do his thing and his interaction with Ol' Cleetus has made me a big fan of Vaughn as a person. He is an all around stellar dude!
I liked that Cleet coulda cut the teaching moment down but kept it unedited. Great moment
What a kind, generous, and patient teacher. Despite not being a big fan of drifting I'll gladly call myself a big fan of Mr. Gittin. The man clearly deserves all the respect. Big thumbs up.
I'm reading all of these comments about how great of a teacher Vaughn is and how well Cleet takes the criticism and instruction, which i totally agree with, but one thing is more important and stands out over the rest of it that truly speaks to his humility: Cleetus just shared the entire experience, good and bad, with complete strangers on UA-cam! .
That is extremely genuine! As an Aussie we bag ourselves or admit stuff ups like a 🏆...... But (no criticism) Americans just generally Don’t...... It is why I think that anyone who ever watches 1 clip, would Subscribes or come back
It’s a warts and all approach. Get what you see. You feel the truth as we live the ups and downs with him and feel we know them all like family.....
Cleet understands that deep down, most Americans love an underdog. So he knows showing the bad with the good only enhances his connection to his viewers.
This is one of the main reasons I love watching Cleetus. He likes talking a big talk and messing around, but he's also really humble and admits when he makes a mistake and tries to learn from it.
Everyone sees how good Vaughn is at giving advise but I'm noticing how well Cleetus is taking his constructive criticism too👀
That's what's enabling him to progress his driving skills so much
Yes, Cleet is a legend in his own rank...
It takes two, no matter how good the teacher is they can not be successful without a equally invested pupil.
And Alec. Immediately when he was done Vaugh said see how much better it wsa when you were smooth, and gave him a wrap for listening and actually doing it.
Same with Alec, let's be realistic here anyone who has someone like Vaughan, willing to teach you and good you, solid to the point constrictive criticism. You dam well swallow any pride or ego you have and listen, well unless you're on the special side. Though no everyone can apply the advice quite as quickly as they both did
@@Dlawler in reality though him & Cleet are friends Alec alike Vaughn is an amazing drift teacher but they're both taking all the hints & tips like champs
Dude the trust that Vaughn has in fleet is incredible. What a solid dude, gives him stern instruction like a dad trying to teach his kid but it’s all out of love
Can we just call Vaughn: Papa Gitten Jr😂 he’s always teaching and being a good freakin person. Mad respect, and Cleet.. HELL YEAH BROTHERRR! looking awesome!
Papa G Jr.
Vaughn's calmness after two of his cars tagging each other is super cool, he sounded more upset that cleetus was giving him room on entry lol def got a perfect instructor cleet
When your drifting you don’t care about the car, it’s a tool if it wrecks it wrecks it’s all rebuildable, but sliding in tandem or even just practice is what makes the fun. No drifter that’s on a track has sympathy or care about what happens with it. As long as the driver walks out it’s back to the tent wrench and drink beer until the car is back on the track
If you haven't seen it before go watch Vaughns drift battles for podiums or ones with Chelsea and you'll see how much aint care he has for his cars haha
Ya vaughn doesnt care about his cars orlando 2 years ago was nut when he wrecked the rtr the only one i see him slightly caring about the rtr x where that his personal car
“It sounds cool, but it’s not working for you...”
- VGjr
Gotta give props to Alec man.. friend moved down to help Cleetus out and now look at him ripping around the track, doing great for only few laps around the Freedom Factory. Keep getting it man! What a good friend Cleet is to for letting him get some time in behind the wheels to, taking him along for the ride. Don't find people or friends like that very often. Keep the bald eagles flyin'
So Vaughn let you rip his cars, when will we see Vaughn rip down the 1/4 in Ruby?
Ford sponsors is probably in the way. At least for us to see it on tape.
I think Cleet offered and Vaughn turned him down.
BusierDonkey never, it’s not a ford
Probably can’t because of Ford sponsorship but probably will see a future ford drag car in the cleet Chanel, by the way the old mustang he bought for the bossted boyz challenge its being built for drag, so don’t be surprised if it is for vaugh to rip
Soon, let's put our hands together and wish for this moment.
I love watching a good teacher have a positive experience with a good student. No ego, no bullshit sugar coating, just honest constructive criticism accepted and acted upon for a positive end result.
So amazed at Vaughn’s teaching, and proud for some reason for Cleetus’s humility and wanting to soak it up. Being humble isn’t observed too often these days. Keep freaking rocking it!
The pro guy look so humble, he will help cleetus in every way possible. This is nice to watch
He is a very humble gentleman, refreshing to see really :)
He had some people tearing up in fd livestream from how caring the guy is!
Also helping out Alec too!
yeah vaughn gittin is a great guy
I love the fact that Vaughn treats cleetus like a team mate when discussing lines and stuff. He doesn't sugar coat and is definitely sharing his years of experience, just like when Chelsea joined RTR (not comparing cleetus to Chelsea, just the stories I've heard from Chelsea about when he joined the team seem to be the same)
The time has come...Vaughn needs a 7 second pass in Ruby.
Edit: Cleeter, you need to pin this comment.
That'd be sick. But, the dudes a driver. See if he can make it happen in LEROY! If you ain't grabbin gears it just ain't the same, lol.
This needs to happen
Hell Yeah Fugazi Garage!!!!!! Why has this not happened yet????
@@CraftyFatboy bcs his a driver for ford rtr
@@leocablao5661 ahhhhhh...... TRUE THAT... They would not be keen to see him in a GMC Machine..... Why I did not put 2 and 2 together I don’t know...... 😊👍
Should see when my wife drives our mini van in anger.
Quite the spectacle.
I think I've seen her or a version of her driving to work. lol
@@MARKS-oq6bd oh ......you'd know 😏
@@budd2018 😂😂
The fact he’s never let anyone drift most of his cars must be an honor hell yeah keep it up
When you getting Vaughn in Ruby to do some drag racing, maybe with the 8 sec tune!
This is what really needs to happen
It'll never happen, Ruby's wheels aren't the right color.
8s?.. let him go 7s
^^THIS!
Would this be a problem for vaughn because he's a ford driver?
It’s really cool how Vaughn can teach so well, even cooler he shares the knowledge!
When he retires I totally see him having a bad ass drift school.
Love how Vaughan is serious with helping Cleeter with his drifting.
Vaughn has got to be one of the coolest dudes ever! Sharing his toys
1:52 and here we see the native giraffe, foraging in it's natural habitat. The cones are wary of it's presence at first, but quickly go back about their business.
🤣🤣🤣
That was amazing. The teaching, the trust to let you rip a car that one of a kind. Thats only been driven normally by a couple of people. That is a HUGE amount of trust and love.
The sound of Vaughn's car on the limiter is just heavenly.
Dude i love that car you have to hear it in person ,you're gonna fall in love with it too LOL.
Vaughn is amazing man... by the end of the year he will have taught cleetus the RTR way
who here has been following cleetus for years and is absolutely astounded to see how far he's gotten in his career. I remember when he was just shooting vids of races, then helping out, then actually racing. now he owns his own track, has 2 million+ subscribers, and is drifting professionally with Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Cleetus: *wrecks fox*
Vaughn: so now that you’ve crashed it wanna drive my nutty expensive cars.
😂
Its like a tutorial in a video game and they just ignore you wrecking 15 times before passing
@@Garf2O truth😂
Alex has got talent. Granted I don’t know what experience or background he has, but he’s good.
Probably a wheel man...
@@jaytibby takes out a bag of trash, drives around in something for a half hour, probably his freedom factory work schedule
He’s really doing well
You can tell you’ve gotten a ton better just in the way Vaughn talks to you when he’s teaching you now. He’s really coaching you now. Great work Cleet.
Who else loves watching Alex or Alec have fun getting to try all this fun stuff??!?! It’s awesome he looks like he made the right choice moving to Florida! Guy is great on and with a camera too!
Cleetus: crashes the Freedom Fox, Vaughn: Wanna do skids in my pride and joy? HAHAHA this shit is Gold!
Sounds like ol Cleet needs to build himself a coyote powered drift missile.
Most people think cheap when drift missle is brought up. Coyote anything and cheap don’t belong in the same sentence. Would be cool though.
Be pretty cool to see a Coyote swapped Fox body on the channel.
?Neighbor? Lol
He just got a drift missile...it's just LS powered...and he already crashed and fixed it. That's how you know it's his. lol
@@tyler1988 Donnie or Rocket? Isn't Cleet prepping Alec for Rocket?
Vaughn is the most humble and the coolest teacher!
Congrats Brother, and thanks for taking us along for the ride. I’ve been here since you started the channel, and happy to see all your success. You are living and sharing our dreams, and we appreciate it!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cleetus, your very upstanding for flying Alec out with you and putting him on. (Not just for a camera guy.) From what I can tell, he’s humble and happy to be a part of this channel. Give him a raise and integrate him fully in vids. A sound asset!
Vaughn’s a great teacher. He has no BS, he just gives you honest feedback.
“The fox yardsaled it’s headlight.” LOL good stuff!
gotta give Vaughn props, the man is teaching cleetus and letting him run his cars without even thinking about it, and even when things go south hes just cool with it because he knows it happens. Thats a great teacher and friend right there.
"This car is a little rollier"
Lol talking to the O.G. Crown Vic drifter.
That is so true I have a 97 crown Vic and the suspension is so worn out that when I slide it on the gravel a lot of times the inside front wheel comes off the ground lol.
That was exactly my first thought when he said that. Lol
Look at the journey youve made brother, from just tagging along to races to RIPPPPPIN the USA's only Formula 1 track in a Formula D car lol
You done made it brother!!
I love how right after Vaughn's instructions you fucking nail it, good teacher and a faster learner right there. pure skill on both ends
PREDICTION: Theres gonna be a red, white, and blue RTR Mustang in the pits at Formula D in the future.. cleeter is getting groomed to be on the team lol
Give ole cleet a year or two and I'm willing to bet he'll have a pro2 drive with the RTR team. Then he'll get to compete in his own track at the Freedom Factory Formula Drift event
RTR crown vic in pro2
My thoughts exactly, RTR playing a smart game here
He's gonna have to choose between the Dew and Monster
I see a Cleet vs Lz battle coming up
Vaughn is the most patient person ever, love watching him teach
I love that Vaughn is so willing to teach and not in an angry way or anything. Super informative and helpful
2:00 Alec's narration on point. 😂
“Wanna take it for a rip?”
“Yes!”
😂😂😂
"Why are you leaving so much room on entry?"
Thats what she said.
1:50 Oh look it's Vaughn Gittin and his twin Vaughn GitErDone.
My favorite is when cleetus goes “dammit dude”.
So much respect for Vaughn Gittin, a total dad teaching moment with ole cletus at 5:20 just awesome to see someone with such talent being so eager to pass on his knowledge.
Vaughn is one of the best teachers I've seen. The fact that he can challenge Garretts thinking and push him to learn from his failure is rare.
I love how cool vaughn is with cletus driving his car he never let anyone else drive lol live that relationship and trust. Also who else thought this was the original hoonicorn
He actually let at least one other person drive that car. The guy who is the legendary photographer that has the Hoonigan Autofocus channel. Of course Vaughn rode with him on that drive. It is an amazing opportunity that he gave Cleet though. It shows how much he cares in taking Cleet under his own legendary wing. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
This car is the big bro to the hoonicron
Kin got some of his ideas for rtrx
YESSSSS that's what I'm here for! 8:04!!!!!! BAMMM I love living vicariously through you Cleetus, how you managed to be on a course next to that car is beyond me, but watching this video got my heart pumping!
Absolutely love that you and Vaughn are building such a great relationship! The fact that he let you drive that beaut of a mustang really shows that he has faith in you and he does so well at pushing you out of your comfort zone to make you a better driver! I see big things coming soon with you two :D
“Why are you leaving me so much room on entry?”. Ahh yes, the ole ask them a question before I tell them they are wrong method.
My jaw is still on the floor! VG jr handing out instructions and lending out car's! You have made me an even bigger fan today brother. Props, respect and thanks for doing this VG and the RTR team.
Cleetus: “Sorry about the fox Vaughn”
Vaughn: “It’s all good brother”
C: “If I had a little bit more power I could do it”
V: “Say Less” *throws keys for his stang*
C: “SAY LESS BROTHER!”
KRAZY SHIT, BRO. Vaughn is the BEST.
I love how Vaughn doesnt get excited just gives cleeter a couple more pointers and gets back atter. Hes a really good teacher and cleetus has gained alot of skill from him. Keep up the great work guys!
Always been a Vaughn fan, but everytime I see him with the boys I become a bigger fan! Seriously one of the coolest people around. Watching him teaching Cleet and Alex, some really cool moments!! Love it!!
This thing really is a masterpiece in person. The metal work is INCREDIBLE!
Love how Cleet takes schooling from Vaugn. Smart enough to listen intently and even remembered to thank him! Gotta love ole Cleetus.
What a gift it is to be legit trained by a pro and Vaughn seems like an amazing teacher. And you don't waste any of it..you listen and you take it seriously. Major respect on that. You're getting better and better...a lot. Keep it to the metal
Vaughn Jr - why are you leaving me so much room?!?
Cleetus - I dont know why you always got to yell at me?!?
