2:55 I like the tribute made to the Twistex team. We will always remember them
Jay: You can't fake a tornado
Also Jay: Fakes a tornado
He meant on reality tv. He faked the winds but how can he fake a tornado on a reality tv budget?
Top gear did it first, and better
The winds in a tornado scoop you up instead
@elewis6622 Mythbusters did it with the Storm Chasers, and it was almost as good as the Top Gear one.
Everyone gangsta till you see the Dominator coming down your street during a thunderstorm
🤣🤣🤣 so true
Me be like: DANG THATS ONE BIG ARMOURED VEHICLE
I say the same thing about Jim Cantore during hurricane season. If he shows up, get the hell out of dodge.
May 7th 2023 passed right by him yesterday night chasing a tornader through linneus
In the words of the late Toby Keith "grab a six pack & a lawn there tornado coming" 😂
I flew reed to Rochester the night the Buffalo snow storm was starting. All buffalo flights were cancelled. Reed got off the plane and rented a car and immediately drove to buffalo live-streaming all night lol.
That stream was legendary. The streets of Buffalo looked like an apocalypse.
Woe winter didn't pan out
For those who do not know, they also tested one of the dominators and the TIV on mythbusters years ago. They held up, but forgot to latch the door.
I think it was the first dominator (red shoe) vs tiv 2, Dominator did get pushed down the grass at 300mph but didnt flip. tiv2 forgot to latch one of the doors and it blew open
Dominator 1 didn’t have the spikes, so it was pushed back, skidding flat to the ground. The risk was in if it would flip up.
I remember that. Reed was so embarrassed!
They successfully sat through a gnarly F3 tornado, it hit them dead on.
Sean Casey is the original. the tiv was created for filming a tornado in imax.Reed probably is the best hunter, but I can't stand him
The "poor, unsuspecting old beater" is nicer than my daily.
That poor ford 500.. lmao
I wanted to see the damage the spikes do on the road or how deep they go.... Sadly, I was disappointed
If we didnt see it, it didnt happen, thats how the media works.
Probably just tiny holes, like from a 4" nail. Good for nothing
He was bullshitting just to play it up.
They make ground anchors for off road vehicles that can take a lot of pull before breaking loose but getting them firmly planted in the earth is no easy feat. Some sort of explosive deployed ground anchors might be feasible but they’d likely be pretty dangerous to use, especially on a harder or rocky surface. It’d be better than getting tossed around in a tornado though. 🌬
Doesn’t matter if they did. They sell asphalt mix in bags at the local hardware store to repair potholes.
Man Reed is one of those people I wish had the biggest success and to have a tornado show with 20 seasons lol his streams are great and he does a good job chasing, getting footage, and letting viewers know where the danger is and when.
And the best part is that he doesn't conduct himself as a holier than thou PhD holding scientist working in the field ... he's just Reed. He's just a guy with a passion for weather and it shows though his work.
Reed is better off with no show on cable tv. He makes way more money with his personally produced media. Just watch the 100s of thousands of dollars worth of Superchats and subscriptions/memberships he gets on a single stormchasing outing. He's making a ton of money.
brian said on stream that they were thinken about that, but they want it to be big so they would raise a fund so they can use all the best equipment to hunt tornado's and capture it in even higher quality and angles. He said that in last stream so about 2 days ago
Reed : oh crap flour, i need oxygen
Jay : im good
Even Jay knew this NBC faked crap is too much.
They should have ignited the flour cloud ala Mr. Wizard.
@@publicmail2 Tecnically the pressure difference could create some air sucked out of the cabin.
What, no 2×4s?
Dominator: War Machine
Jay Leno: what is the MPG on this baby?
This comment cracked me up!
mpg , with a tailwind?
Let’s take her up on the freeway and see how she cruises
I think they measure it in GPM (gallons per mile) not MPG.
@@herrunsinn774 lmfao
“I think we proved this experiment is significantly dangerous.. let’s give it a try!” Words of a legend!
3:12 Reed Timmer at his Finest HAHAHA I LOVE THIS GUY.
MAKE MORE SEASONS OF TORNADO CHASERS PLZ :(
up next: 1949 Citroën Traction Avant
Funny thing is - I've seen this Dominator episode before
😂
LOL...
Levente Montana
Me too...🤔
@RDE Lutherie I've been notified of the same 1949 Citroën video 3 times in the last four weeks.
"I wanna find the tornado that killed my Pa".
Great stuff.
correction, Sum Dum Gai, he did not say "Pa". what Reed said then was "Paul", referring to Paul Samaras, from the TWISTEX storm chasing team. him, his dad Tim Samaras, and another chaser, all died in the EL RENO tornado of 2013.
AMAZING HOW THIS OVERPRODUCED VERSION OF THE SHOW ISN'T AS GOOD AS THE UA-cam SHOW.
Agree 100%, I'd much rather just have Jay and nice car.
True
What pisses me off is that the cybertruck went to the overproduced version instead of the normal youtube show
@@SiisKolkytEuroo This one gets the dollars and the ratings. No way Elon was giving a personal tour just for UA-cam; imagine his time demands? .
@@marvindebot3264 I mean, knowing Elon, he probably just wanted to show off his cool new toy to Jay Leno. I think he'd do that even without the cameras. The publicity is just a nice added rationale for spending his time that way.
If I had to guess, I'd say he'd probably prefer the youtube version to the mainstream TV version as well, but I don't think he cares very much about where it got posted.
4:30 - literally the only reason this car had any issue is because it wasn't in park and the hood wasn't latched.
Wind speed 57mph and the hood is shaking to come open? Lol, cars regularly drive 60+mph with no issue.
my thought also.
dosent mean that the wind speed is 60 mph. iv'e herd some where that its is like 20 or 30 mph (wind speeds)
ill try to find the source of it then link it for you.
Vuke Vinch if there is no wind at all and you are travelling at 60mph the force of the car hitting the wind is 60mph, if the wind is coming towards you it’ll be more or if it’s going in the same direction of you it’ll be less
The engine was also removed lol
The guy didn't get to use his spikes for the test neither.
Actually, Sean Casey built the first vehicle for surviving tornado encounters. He called it the TIV...Tornado Intercept Vehicle, he built it for capturing IMAX footage for his movie ‘Tornado Alley’. I admire Reed immensely, but Sean gets the credit for the genesis of the Dominator.
Sean doesn't get credit for anything- the only similarities between the vehicles are the fact that they're aerodynamically armored and engineered to be resistant against Tornadic-winds- how they accomplish said design and how they function is completely different.
well, Sean was the first one to use the hydraulic spikes, and he did build the first TIV before the dominator
I am currently watching Storm Chasers on Prime. While I'm sure Reed has had the ambition to intercept and I respect him for what he does. It's clear he copied TIV and TIV II with the design of all three Dominator designs. I giggle every time Sean calls DOM 1 " THE RED SHOE " lol...
@@WeatherxCalipha C.T, you don't understand why Sean deserves credit. Sean deserves credit because he created the idea of an armored vehicle, and inspired many to follow in his footsteps. They may be for different purposes, but Sean had laid the foundation for many chasers, and he did it because he wanted to do it.
Good day to you sir.
U people sound like kids who are arguing who's dad has the faster car when both dads drive a VW bug. Shut up u sound stupid
Reed got to use Dom3 yesterday! It was a success! 200 mph!
When you have a WW2 aircraft engine just chillin' and you need somewhere to sit
I say build a vehicle with 3 of those jet engines, crank al 3 to 1,000 mph and reverse the tornado🌬🌪
Not possible
@@mitchconner2021 woah let people joke around sometimes
That actually might make the tornado faster and more massive
The Russians have these. They are pairs of jet engines mounted on modified battle tank hulls. They use them to fight forrest fires or other special situations
It would take about a hundred thousand of those engines.
I Have a Feeling This Guy Yells Even At Dinner!😂😬😬🤷♂️
....."PASS THE DINNER ROLLS PLEASE"!!!!😲🤫🤦♂️
He does. Reed lives life one 5 Hour Energy shot at a time.
@@shchorss LMAO!
He says OMG like a thousand times a show. He’s wonderful. I love his broadcasts
Anyone else expect the Bugatti again? lol. Great clip Jay.
After last week I expect to see the Bugatti posted at least 2 more times. Dont know what that was all about but Jay is doing a great job showing cars all on his own
What an amazing career this man made for himself. He just gets to be a little boy forever playing with his toys and loving what he's doing. I'm so jealous. He gets to tinker, improve meteorology and get heavy adrenaline rushes.
He hand built his 3 tornado tanks.
Miss watchin Reed and Sean in TIV go head to head. Was a fun show. Crazy a few folks from that show aren't with us anymore...dangerous game to play.
BEST LINE:
"I want to find that tornado that killed my pa." 😂
Tells them not to lower it into the asphalt...lowers it twice. 😂
Nice
that Dominator L👀ks like
the Pontiac Aztek YO .
We went storm chasing in April. started watching all of Reed's old videos after. Love this stuff haha
Me too! He will scare you to death watching his videos. But they are very entertaining. Tornado Chasers series is awesome!
3:05 no way I'd be standing UNDER the 800lb door when pushing that button LOL
2:54 It made me so happy that the Dominator team put the Twistex sticker on there.
We will ALWAYS honor them.
Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt did this in a 1996 Dodge Ram... Pishhh, 😏 I'm not impressed😉
Go left NO go right NO left right it was an ok movie but the last one done was good it looked real.
In the Twister movie the truck did not survive. This purpose built truck is better suited to the job.
@@cindysue5474 huh into the storm um no that movie sucked
@@johnwayne397 Better then twister.
@@cindysue5474 no
F-150 morphed to a Pontiac Aztek AHAHAHAH
f-350 turned in to a mobile bunker and observation station. This is the best design we have seen from him yet.
Almost ALMOST looks more legit then TIV.... but TIV will always have a special place in my heart because they were crazy enough to start the trend.... build a mobile bunker, mount a imax camera in it. get hit by a tornado.
i ll stick with my day job.
@@OneMouseGaming I meant no offense buddy, just a spontaneous response on my part, this bunker is a beast, at least Pontiac Aztek now has some letters of nobility...
Jay needs to go on a chase with Reed sometime! I'm terrified of tornados but still watch him. Yesterday he had a busy day in Iowa with a tornado with multiple vortex's! I'd have a heart attack out there but my son wants to go on a chase with Reed! God Bless and stay safe.
0:14 can not get over how cool that radiator looks
I was waiting for Jay to mention how it reminds him of driving his McLaren F1
1:59 Laptop ⤴️ Cup Holder ⤵️. 😂🤣😅👍
Jay, Thank you for everything you do... you are an American treasure and one of the best in the world!
Los Angeles Mercedes dealer: Let's rebrand it as the new G wagon.
Real wives of Los Angeles: I'll buy two please. 🤣
That giant Merlin aircraft engine is awesome!
Jay: What’s the MPG on this thing?
The owner: So... do you think there’s gonna be a 2nd Covid wave?
From your friends at Rev Media
Ahahahahah
Joe Horn 😓
Jay still putting out that dope car content! That’s wassup! 🔥🔥🔥
LOL...did you notice? None of the 'debris' they blasted at the truck even hit it!! lol
@Joe Horn My point exactly. We all know how dangerous a basketball can be! They kill a lot of people every year!! lolol
7:02
There's a lot of teenager still left in you Jay and I mean that in a good way. Even rolling a 2500 hp car with a big set of rinkle walls. We are showing signs of our age Jay and you have taught me so much and shared things with us like your knowledge and experiences and most of all your heart felt time. Chow for now.
I love how big of a bargain the Corvette is!😂
Might buy two actually lmao
Same with the new chicken nugget and cheeseburger deal, i cant believe how much food you get for such a reasonable price. I cannot stop spreading the word on this amazing and tasty meal for two. Bring your gf and you guys wont even start a heated argument within earshot of several people. Its just that good of a deal.
@@livingsnake3903 imagine how many chicken nugget and cheeseburger meals you could get for that amount of money. Im jealous of your wealth and stature, honestly i wish i had your confidence and body odor. I bet your the type of friend that would do most any small favors i would ask of you on short notice. Youre just that guy who picks up the check and pays for the chicken nugget and cheeseburger meal deal because i honestly left my wallet on my bed.
I think at a certain point you can have tooo many chicken nuggets and cheeseburger meals, but i aint reached it yet! Whoa, now thats getting written down when i get home! Right above my mantle for visitors to see.
You can double that price here in OZ at least. The F350 is circa 120k USD here.
"I wanner find that tuuurnader that kilt my Paaah!!!" Mr. Leno🤣👍
Awesome Vehicle!👊
That's Extreme Man!!!! F-5 Finger of God! Let's play some Van Halen now!!! I can't think of any more Twister references.
It was a semi-tense situation. Most people avoid getting into tense situations.
@@eldorado767 It's a sidewinder
Leno is good, Leno is wise
Food, fooooood!
I always laugh when Sean Casey called it The Imitator lol.
Well its storm season gotta be golden time of the year for Reed.
Perfect for Portland Or sightseeing.
16 gauge??? Wow, I haven't seen anything that thick since since I glanced over at my '88 Tercel. (sarcasm)
He used Dominator 3 last night 5/12/2023 to get hit by one of the hardest tornadoes he’s ever been in near Spalding, Nebraska.
Great video Jay! Thanks for sharing during this difficult time!! 😷
11 thousand pounds and armor don't matter when you have 2 panes of 1/8 inch safety glass and a Grill letting air flow into the engine compartment. Other than that, very impressive.
Cool, Jay! It might even be Portland proof!!!
Lol!
👌
Reed: "Hey Jay, you enjoy being insde my dominator. Now you clean up all the messes on the run way."
Jay: " Nah.... but I will pick up the turkey and bring it home for dinner."
Dominator 3 does not have spikes, Dr Reed was still in the process of installing those but it never was finished before being decommissioned. Dr Reed went broke, and now has a little Subaru (Dominator 4) that's not even armored. He just lost it in Hurricane Ian. So he went for broke on these projects, and now he is totally broke. Hopefully somebody helps him, The only vehicle at the moment that has spikes that work is the TIV.
Wow! I wondered as to why he was driving rentals!...Obviously, he does not want to talk about his financial problems.
Well dom 3 is back!!
Yeah he ain't joke, using D3 isn't worth it if he isn't using a team, he fixed his Subaru, d1-2 is being planned to be restored. If he was broke, he probably would have sold one of the dominators and not having them stored
I doubt he's broke, he has 1 of the biggest channels
"I've seen that happen one time in Wyoming, believe it or not. ...flying cow." lmao
Awesome, Jay. Reed is great; Storm Chasers needs to come back to tv in the uk
There was a lot of Solar Radiation Management lines in the clouds.
Jay Leno how much horsepower does this thing have I live in a hilly area!
Cup holder was definitely the best feature
I love Reeds Channel. He posts great content
Wow..Reed Timmers Dominator on Jay Leno's Garage. This deserves the recognition no doubt. Such an impressive vehicle and Team! I wish that i could ride along sometime. Ill sign anything that you want me to. 😆😆😆
That plane looks exactly the same than the one who was used at the beginning of the 007 movie "Tomorrow never dies".
Perhaps it is... I'm no expert on planes though.
With propellers, yea they sound the same.
Probably was!
He said it was a L-39 Albatross.........I think. @4:05 or so en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-39_Albatros
Yes it's the same jet
I do some storm spotting once in a while in Northeastern Oklahoma. I was following a supercell and saw one of those things at a traffic light in a small town in along major highway. It's like nothing you've ever seen before. It made me stop and think, do I really want to keep following this storm?
I thought this would be dumb but that's a pretty clever testing technique.
I wonder if it would do as well from the side though. Pointing directly up-wind is ideal but who knows which way the wind may blow.
This was a hoot to watch! Jay , you are so funny ! Glad you're feeling better too! As I also saw the interview you did with Gayle King. Seriously, you look fantastic! Yay God! 🙏 This video came up in my feed just now. Dr Reed is down South. Been watching he and Ryan Hall quite a bit today. I'm kinda of a newbie. The Dominators are supposed to be road ready by spring, I've heard. Beastly looking things huh ? Like Sci Fi! 😂🤭 I didn't realize that you had a channel here. Nice to know.
Brightest Blessings to You and Your Family this Holiday Season! ☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Im very glad Jay burn was healed as well as it did, That os so horrible of injury. Nice of you to mention that his condition looks better, I think we ALL are glad he recovered ok.
If it had a flat floor, like a 1949 Citroen, it would be a better stormproof vehicle.
If only we had a review of one of those beforehand to compare to
.

@@markwright3161 here's hoping lol
Tiv2 has multilayer,more fame, older, 0/250, or even 275, more intercepts, spikes go 5 to 6 deep underground, can stand 250 mph (when tivs side is facing twards wind so it doesnt topple) ,and dominator 3 cant go to 250 mph, it goes at 200 to 220, and tiv 2 takes about 20 to 30 seconds to deploy, but its made for when the tornado comes to them, which means it has a very big chance of surviving 300 MPH, And yes it does have 4wd, and has better readings because Tiv2 is built for intense tornadoes, and dom 3 is mostly made for photographs, Overall Tiv2 will definitely win.
Spaceballs moment lost!! Lol
I had my back broken in a tornado 9/10/99 you are nucking fruts to get anywhere with in a mile of one.
At 4:18 it appears that the 500's hood is already popped
And left in neutral.
Although seeing how mythbusters had fun with a boeing 747, im not driving anywhere near a jet engine at full power
I like that truck. May it safely investigate tornadoes for years to come.
But it isn’t “The” Dominator it’s just one of them 😂 I remember watching storm chasers as a kid it was amazing and helped me to know the warning signs of possible tornadoes which I have used before.
Mythbusters did the same experiment with TIV 2 and Dominator 2 they put them behind a jet and launched things at them. The test always begins with a junked car to prove what will happen if you are in these types of winds. TIV 1 and 2 have been put through their paces so has Dominator 1 and 2 now it is Dominator 3s turn and it passed this vehicle is ready for storm season.
Jay's the best.
The 747 test on Mythbusters was better. But still cool. I was so into Storm Chasers years ago.
This is a weird looking 1949 Citroen
*Woman-What the hell are you doing?*
*Reed- I've got this under control*
😂😂
7:20
he saw a real flying cow in Wyoming !???
Poor cow.
Flying cow? I never knew Oprah visited Wyoming!
Its okay, when it landed it became ground beef.
@@marcp1180 Nah. That was yo mamma
@@Markle2k ooh that hurts. Did you get your Mamma's permission to get on the computer lil boy?
Twice now I think, he saw flying cows in a facebook live stream earlier this year
Only Jay to do this one!!! Great job. Thanks Jay! Next let's do the 9 Corvettes
Wrong channel. That would be whistlindiesel lol 😆
No GROUNDHOG DAY
Mr. Jay Leno any fundraising for Mr Timmer is not wasted he's saving people's lives while risking his own keep up keep up the good work
Not only do you need it to be tornado tough, it gets to be a badass cool looking tough armored vehicle
Timmer made it look BADASS alright.
I was just thinking the side windows didn't look very safe, then he hit the switch lol also I like how the guy who goes through tornados gets shook by the windshield and Jay is like ''this is just tuesday''' lol
One word: BULLETPROOF.
Has cupholders.
Dominator -1 Lexus LFA - 0... ?
Cupholders are necessary to dominate. One needs to sip coffee/soda/tea while in the middle of tornadic activity.
😂😂😂that was priceless! Great video Reed and jay
There are poor kids that could have eaten that "beater"
“Dominate the storm.” -Reed Timmer 2020
Great, looking forward to another TV series where Reed Timmer screams like a little girl through the whole thing.
Good to see Reed Timmer is still chasing tornadoes. I forgot all about him since his tv show ended in 2011. Also nice to hear his vehicles are still called "Dominator" and bad storms that are experienced inside the Dominator are "intense". Lol.
Dude he chases live here on UA-cam:)
@@StormChaserMaci. That's great. I've never seen his UA-cam channel... I never thought to look for him, and he's never appeared in my suggested feed. Weird, huh?
@@SlipFitGarage He's always storm chasing. He's never stopped. Never will.
@@StormChaserMaci. Geat!
maybe after they cleaned out his brains Jay can review the killdozer
poor taste
"I was specifically told not to do that". Classic Timmer....
The truck did more dominating in this parking lot than it’s ever done in real life
lol Winds coming in from the side....We got bid problems !!....Thanks Jay's outstanding...!
Covid permitting, you should do a 'making of' Video some time. And let us Foreigners see more of that lovely Countryside you drive around. Great entertainment.
Over the years, I turned gray along with Jay Leno.
I'm really finding it difficult that I enjoy Jay Leno now that he's only doing car stuff...what a weird year.
Dextar I love it. Cars are jays passion, comedy was a means to live his passion
@@jmoo876 He is pretty passionate about comedy, you (could before COVID) see him weekly doing stand up. Talking to vapid celebs? not so much.
My two favorite things storm chasing and Jay Leno, who knew they they would combine.🌪😁
OK, this is one of the better ones...
I don't know why this is so comforting.
