@@ZReviews You have sent me on a journey that I must complete. Also, stop making my wallet hurt. I bought the monolith m570s a few months back on sale, and now I’m thinking about selling them and buying gl2000s.
What an impressive story! Roman, you are a great story teller and even though I generally watch RCR for the funny commentary about various cars I find that you have a knack for giving insight into mysteries of the past.
No curse there. Peak race car drivers, the most dominant in their sport, drive just that much more insane than the regular drivers, so they die at a higher rate. It's almost like everyone else is already running at the ragged edge, and pushing it just a little farther isn't good for lifespan?
Racers, pilots, astronauts and professional adrenaline junkies often drive their commute in a very cautious manner it is true. But race car drivers usually push it on the track. The track is just usually safe enough not to kill them these days.
Hey Roman great job. I believe if you begin with an interest in something and it becomes a passion then you can never get enough. The 37 plus minutes flew by and I was tuned in 100% from start to fin.... All in all Thank You Roman and RCR.
And that ad for the Country Squire was 5 years off, too. It was an interesting story to tell, sure, but it had, in the words of Chris Harris, some "continuity nightmares" for photographic citations.
Taking any part even a nut from a car where someone died would transfer the energy if the deadly crash accident into your vehicle. Deans porsche became a coffin. To sell the crashed vehicle for monetary gain would be disrespectful to the deceased and curse the buyers.
@@inspectorchicken sorry for asking three years later, but how do you think this would work? Is it your intend, that the cars belong to everyone who invested in them, to a certain degree? Basically like the shareholders of a company, just for a single car in this case? If that’s what you had in mind, I highly doubt it is possible..
@@rolux4853 I'd do this exactly like a real estate or gold fund. You own a share of that fund and the share represents the cars value inside that fund minus the running and managing cost.
Man... This is such beautiful work, writing, and narration. Thank you guys for having become such a well-rounded multidisciplinary automotive channel. Came for TRACK DAY BRO, stayed for James Dean Bio. Also, shorter?! Are you serious? Dude, this is bliss!
The Roman -- I *love* these Stories! I think you're doing a fabulous job of putting the material together, and your passion in the delivery makes it impossible to hit pause -- it's infectious. Don't worry about these getting too long, as long as you're having a blast making them. Cheers!
Dean wasn’t dumb for wanting to be part of the racing fraternity. It’s a brother/sisterhood unlike anything, including the army. Like just a few weeks ago we lost a marshal who was overseeing a race at brands hatch. I’m an American and I felt the pain like it happened at my home track
Yeah regardless of background, participation in the motorsport community is kind of its own reward with the solidarity it provides between fans, officials, and teams alike
Wow, keep them coming please! Length doesn't bother me, I could listen to this for hours as well written and narrated as these are. Love automotive history and the way you bring it out in these videos is great! Would like to hear you do a piece on the legend of Carroll Shelby, as long as that would be though I'm not sure you would want to.
George Barris was a notorious liar, routinely taking credit for other customizers and painters work. His brother Sam was a skilled builder, but George was mostly just a self-promoter, creating gimmicky cars for TV. Barris just created the "curse" story to create buzz and raise the value.
Loved this Roman! I've driven passed that fateful spot many times crossing the lower central valley of California, usually on my way to or from Vegas. I'm just a stones throw from Paso and Cal Poly. Thanks for doing the research and taking the time!
The photo you are showing as Donald Turnupseed is that of Donald Dooley, a student at Shandon High who witnessed the accident. Donald Gene Turnupseed died in 1995, not 1981.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I've heard of this car and tid bits of lore, but now I feel like I know so much more. Sharing knowledge is great... but it's better when it's well done. Please don't worry about keeping them short. Cheers.
There's a story behind that too. You see when my mom was pregnant with me my dad was high on something and he thought he was the reincarnation of James Dean. That is how I got my name. My bad was born 5 years after James Dean died. It means nothing but my dad was kind of a rebel too and he has lots of James Dean paraphernalia .
These RCR stories are quickly becoming my favorite thing about RCR. Not to say I don't still love the car reviews, but I'm a big history buff so getting some auto history in an interesting format is just legendary.
Dean was that eras brad pitt. Imagine if brad died like Paul walker. Or Paul walker is a good example. but being a car guy we all know that tires have date codes for reasons and they lose their bond after a few years. You never use old tires. Case in point, Paul Walker. Tires would be like the big wheel hard plastic tires. Not much traction. and when only a index card size patch is in contact with road at any time, it better be a great tire.
I really liked this story. I don't know how hard it is for you to do these, but I'm going to try and listen regardless of the length of the video. Keep up the good work!
Some dumb scrapper probably collected the car. It was melted down, and now the curse exists in your refrigerator, Cadillac Catera, cell phone, and various other wares.
Thank you, Roman! Your stories are great listening and I especially love the story of James Dean and the cursed Porsche. Little did I know about the rumor of his car hiding in my county. Keep it up!
If you're ever in Illinois, the Volo Auto Museum is worth a quick visit. There's four buildings of cool and interesting cars and one building of tabloid level schlock. And supposedly the antique mall is haunted.
This is an absolutely amazing video! I’d known of the accident but I never knew the story behind the car, and I love that it’s still out there somewhere.
Even the most made-up stories usually have some basis in fact; the car appears to have had multiple chunks taken out of it over the years and so in all likely hood was probably broken down for parts and salvage over perhaps a couple of decades or so. Shame really
@@henrykincaid6821 It certainly is apparent,from studying the crash site photos, that the vehicle was really seriously trashed in that collision...those photos of the car that Barris put on display, show a vehicle that had somehow been modified, to look a little less smashed up!...a couple of longer-ranged 'witnesses to the crash, said they thought Rolfe had been the driver, but they were wrong...Accident witnesses are frequently inconsistent when describing what they think they have seen.
I love these vids, especially if they're long. I actually watch as much as I listen, and they're great in the hour I have to relax before going to work. Keep it up, Roman.
I have not watched this yet... but it made my hard day SO much better already seeing this at the top of my suggestions. Thank you for these small morsels of bliss that you bring to the lives of ordinary men. Thank you
After disappearing, the car was restored by a man named... James Dean. The former engine was replaced by an L30 Straight six with triple Weber carbs and twin turbos, bored out to 3.1 liters. The newly named "Devil Bastard" made over 600hp, and it still races on the Wa- California highways to this day. Its only rival is a black Porsche 911 Turbo, known to California street racers only as "Blackbird."
Cesar Cantu It’s called a coincidence, other people die in Porsches and Chevys, Fords, Toyotas...and so on. The low intellect in this comment section is disturbing.
This is nice, I just saw James Dean the movie starring James Franco, RWAC and EoE last week. Funny how you guys decided to do this as well. I`ll enjoy it during my dinner this afternoon.
Chuck Barris lived a fantastic life, both real and imagined. As well as claiming to be a "close pal" with the late James Dean, with intimate knowledge about THE LITTLE BASTARD, he also claimed to be a CIA assassin with a double life as a show biz personality for about 20 years. His "memoirs" were later made into a movie CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND. He was also creator of THE GONG SHOW and composed the hit pop tune PALISADES PARK. What a guy!....
1st time to see and here about this icon and now its the new year if not for this phone i would not know what happened. To him i was only a little boy!!!
its crazy, because here in cali, at the jack ranch cafe, they have a memorial for james dean there. every year on the 30th of September they hold a get together to talk about james dean. guys show up in replica 550 spyders and take you up the road where the accident happened. they also point out on the drive the position of the sun and all this other information. super erie to drive that road on that day and at that time.
nice effort really well balanced great detail I loved the curse of the little basturd and I feel you brought a new perspective to the story you can tell you really did your homework and didn't just read a wiki page. once again very good work.
Felonius Gru ..It shouldn’t be about making fun of “purists”, it’s all about saying the FAMILY NAME correctly. You pronounce it with a “ah” sound at the end because it’s being respectful to Mr. Ferdinand Porsche and his family.
James Dean was only crushed about his mom's passing and moving away from his dad. He was not crushed to leave Santa Monica nor was he crushed to have to live in Fairmount, Indiana. He quickly adapted to life in Indiana and visited four times after he moved away from Indiana.
Jeremy Sims That’s not how you say it, the “ah” sound at the end is the correct way to say it. It’s a family name, I think Ferdinand Porsche knew how to pronounce his own fucking name.🙄
I love these stories, and this one was so entertaining! I don't mind them being long, I listen to them while I'm driving. Thanks for another super entertaining tale and I can't wait for the next one!
Hmm, it's one thing to pronounce the name of the car company incorrectly, but you should get it right when you're talking about the man. See every doc about Andrew Carnegie for examples.
Yes, I know. I was trying to be constructive in my criticism. It's one thing to say "hey my pronunciation of a car company is wrong, but that's how we say it in , so deal with it", it's another thing to talk about a specific individual, and pronounce their name wrong.
+Jason Gotcha. _You_ get it. It still amazes me that so many do not. It's such a simple thing to pronounce an easily pronounceable name correctly. Yet so many don't. I suppose it's just sheer ignorance. We can educate though and will continue to do so.
Fantastic story my good man!! I am all at once, entertained & most appreciative of the mega interesting automotive historical content my friend!! I truly look forward to seeing what's next! Thanks again! 👊🏾💪🏾✊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾😎✊🏾🤟
When the story couldn't possibly get any weirder, The Roman throw's us a Private investigator with two prosthetic arms.....Keep these docs coming, I feel like im reading Vonnegut with all these crazy characters.
I really love these RCR car stories. Take as much time as you need with them, I'd rather hear the whole thing and get a clearer picture of both the circumstances and context of each story than listen to a ~15 minute video and only get part of the story.
What an accomplished piece of work, masterfully narrated and edited. (I'm really impressed by how synchronous the visuals and the recitation are...always a challenge.) If I'd thought The J D Road Accident Saga had been done to exhaustion, this vid dispels that heresy. Roman, you have a serious aptitude for documentaries. Michelin rating: Two Pilot Sport PAX 245/690 R520 and Two 365/710 R540 up.
STRONGLY recommend doing a story on the EV1, especially business context for the whole scenario. it's becoming increasingly relevent with the rise of the 200 mile range sub 40k ev
it's long, but I didn't ever hear a part of the story that didn't need to be there. I really enjoy these stories as well and I hope you keep doing them!
I watch basically everything on this channel the day it comes out, but the 37 minutes was a daunting commitment. ...Well worth it though. I love these stories :)
I will give you a mic or set up your compression better.. If you are going to talk for this long you deserve to be heard.

Just finished and wanted to say: Roman, great job! These are awesome no matter the length. Keep up the great work.
Roman, you should do the curse of peak race car drivers. Senna, McRae, Earnhardt, etc.
Sean K yes pls
No curse there. Peak race car drivers, the most dominant in their sport, drive just that much more insane than the regular drivers, so they die at a higher rate. It's almost like everyone else is already running at the ragged edge, and pushing it just a little farther isn't good for lifespan?
Wot, people in a high-risk sport that can easily be fatal sometimes die? Incredible.
Anything for Aerton.
Racers, pilots, astronauts and professional adrenaline junkies often drive their commute in a very cautious manner it is true. But race car drivers usually push it on the track. The track is just usually safe enough not to kill them these days.
Hey Roman great job.

Don't try to shorten these. Honest, I can listen to you talk about this kind of stuff for hours.

That "39 chevy" is over ten years off. And the ten years between 39 and 49 were probably the most rapidly changing decade in auto history.

James Dean died on a stretch of highway near my house actually. the stretch has a high mortality rate and is nicknamed death alley
and there it is! 18:40. I'm from Paso Robles

I did not know that.
Please post proof pronto, pics preferred
@@joeambrose3260 hello sir, may I ask if you have very strong trust issues?
Is it so unlikely that people live near a highway?
@@rolux4853 I do sir. In fact, I highly doubt Ro Lux is your actual name
I think if you take essential parts from a car that was destroyed in a fatal accident, you're asking for trouble.
What would you consider an essential part?
Taking any part even a nut from a car where someone died would transfer the energy if the deadly crash accident into your vehicle. Deans porsche became a coffin. To sell the crashed vehicle for monetary gain would be disrespectful to the deceased and curse the buyers.
Steve w Tires, ect.
Yep
Totally Agree Panzer Man
This was very facinating! Loved this video. Favorite work that been posed on the channel this year. More car stories and history!
Something interesting is that the famous actor Sir Alec Guinness warned him "Next Thursday you will be dead if you get in that car".
Just got from work, it was a long day, and here you go with this story. thank you very much. That was needed.
You should kickstart a fund of rare collectors cars and maintain the cars along with researching their stories. I'd totally invest.
an RCR museum?
I think one of the Jalopnik guys already has this. A bunch of seriously odd kit cars from 70's and stuff like that.

Barris just created the "curse" story to create buzz and raise the value.
Barris was a known huckster. Jay Leno mentions his shenanigans on occasion.
For example, he claimed to have built the original General Lee for Warner Brothers. Something that has been proven false repeatedly.
Barris said the car disappeared because he could not prove that he bought it in the first place ! The car he displayed was not Dean's car !
I met George Barris at Darryl Starbirds 50th anniversary car show in Tulsa, Oklahoma..
He definitely could tell a story...
Sam Barris had all the talent, George was a good promoter and photographer.

Hmm, it's one thing to pronounce the name of the car company incorrectly, but you should get it right when you're talking about the man. See every doc about Andrew Carnegie for examples.
Porsche is a Two-Syllable Word™
The car company and the man, Ferdinand Porsche, are both pronounced the same way. Duh.
Yes, I know. I was trying to be constructive in my criticism. It's one thing to say "hey my pronunciation of a car company is wrong, but that's how we say it in , so deal with it", it's another thing to talk about a specific individual, and pronounce their name wrong.

Gotcha. _You_ get it. It still amazes me that so many do not.
It's such a simple thing to pronounce an easily pronounceable name correctly. Yet so many don't. I suppose it's just sheer ignorance. We can educate though and will continue to do so.
I really enjoy these stories. They're fantastic tidbits of automotive history
Fantastic story my good man!! I am all at once, entertained & most appreciative of the mega interesting automotive historical content my friend!! I truly look forward to seeing what's next! Thanks again! 👊🏾💪🏾✊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾😎✊🏾🤟
When the story couldn't possibly get any weirder, The Roman throw's us a Private investigator with two prosthetic arms.....Keep these docs coming, I feel like im reading Vonnegut with all these crazy characters.
Absolute gold! It's a shame and a testament to the state of UA-cam viewership that the video only has 100k views.
This is along the lines of "Eastern Airlines fight 401". Parts used from a tragedy that came back to haunt others. Good coverage.
I really love these RCR car stories.
Take as much time as you need with them, I'd rather hear the whole thing and get a clearer picture of both the circumstances and context of each story than listen to a ~15 minute video and only get part of the story.
holy shit Roman, this was amazing. please, don't worry about leaving them short. a half an hour is perfect!
What an accomplished piece of work, masterfully narrated and edited. (I'm really impressed by how synchronous the visuals and the recitation are...always a challenge.) If I'd thought The J D Road Accident Saga had been done to exhaustion, this vid dispels that heresy. Roman, you have a serious aptitude for documentaries.
Michelin rating: Two Pilot Sport PAX 245/690 R520 and Two 365/710 R540 up.
it makes me sad that these don't get as many views. I'm always looking forward to these stories. Keep it up Roman!
STRONGLY recommend doing a story on the EV1, especially business context for the whole scenario. it's becoming increasingly relevent with the rise of the 200 mile range sub 40k ev
Another great one Roman. Keep them coming. They are informative and enjoyable.
The amount of research that you do to create your videos is amazing.
it's long, but I didn't ever hear a part of the story that didn't need to be there. I really enjoy these stories as well and I hope you keep doing them!
Thank you, Roman. I really enjoy your RCR stories. Keep them coming!
These get better and better with every ep. I love the spin rcr puts on their history videos.
I watch basically everything on this channel the day it comes out, but the 37 minutes was a daunting commitment. ...Well worth it though. I love these stories :)
