Driving from Florida to Alaska, Again - Episode 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Four years ago, we technically drove from Florida to Alaska. But we cheated a little bit, because we only made it to the panhandle. BUT THIS TIME, we’re going to do it for real. We’re going from Tallahassee Florida to Anchorage Alaska, in Ben's 400whp track built Evo and other Ben's 500whp street built sti. 10,000 miles across the continent, in only 3 weeks. This trip is about accomplishing something that we’ve previously failed, and to experience as much of the continent as possible.

Dude the guy that pulled you out was God Tier he legit said pay it forward and took off what a guy, faith in humanity restored.
Same thoughts here, I would have been begging to pay him just like ben
God Tier indeed, that's exactly why He said what He said 🤜
Yep when I used to own my Jeep Wrangler I would pull people out of ditches every winter in North Dakota. All I ever asked for was to pay it forward. You never know who else will need some help that they may come across.
Up there it's just what you do, because you know you'll be the guy stuck in the ditch sometime too!

One doesn’t simply click on a Gears and Gasoline video, one gets a beverage and makes sure one is comfy before clicking on a Gears and Gasoline video.
Gears and Gasoline does not simply make normal videos, they make works of art
this comment is factual
Big facts 💯
So true!
especially the road trip videos
33:11
Dayne: “kidnapping”
Ben: “nice meeting ya 😃✌️”
Had me rolling 😂😂😂
Lies again? Grab Car USD SGD
"Pay it forward" and you guys did, with Wayne. Love how you manage to find such incredible stories upon on these road trips every time. Love from 🇧🇩
Hello friend from 🇨🇦!
Hiya all, ❤ from Middlesbrough 🇬🇧
Great watching video of this far north 👌
CONGRATS ON 1m dudes! So well deserved. Y'all make the most beautify car videos on YT!!!
We would like to see how can the Golf hold during snow and with the long trip too.
Finally!!
@@mobbak I Deff want to take my Golf R on one of these trips... Sign me up!
@@mobbak it would have crushed it. LOL
Congratulatiions! I am so glad I discovered this channel! Watching from Kenya.
This time it's for real. Last time it was too. Every time has been. You're living people's dreams and wandering around America in a bad ass ride with your budy in his bad ass ride. It's fucking so cool. I envy you're American spirit of wanting to explore. Respect from Houston Texas 🤠
H-town stand up!
same except i live in a place where there is dessert or more dessert and every animal is as dangerous as ted bundy, Respect from australia
Houston here too 🙋🏼♂️
I feel the same way my guy, doesn’t take much to make a dream come true, just got to plan and execute
From Wisconsin Milwaukee btw
Hello fello houstanian!
H town baby
As a Canadian I chuckled when you said all-season tires. Winter tire is mandatory here in Quebec during the winter.
I know this is old, but I did the exact same. “We have the best vehicles for this” and then “all season tires” haha
Those are definite Winter tyre conditions!
Where I live we hardly get any snow these days, just a few days at most, so all seasons are better suited overall. But if our winters were like that… well it’s full-on snow tyres.
@@AndorRadnai1 day ago
There not mandatory on alberta
31:17 That smile on my face when the dude helped for free. I've been stuck a few times in the mud here in Ghana and people were so ready just to help me out. Most people are good people, especially in situations like this. After the incident, you never and ever see them again. This is beautiful.
Down in Canada its just customary to help people out that have gotten themselves stuck in snow if you can, especially in conditions like that. you never know how long they'll be there if you just leave them, sometimes it can be life or death
Must admit I was left scratching my head when you lowered that EVO more and then fitted a new lip. Heading to Alaska and possible off road and snow storms you need ground clearance not less.
Amazing trip and amazing scenery.
But sir it looks bad raised.. according to ppl lol. I agree I would have lifted all the way lol
The community somehow managed to cyber bully tall Ben and that’s just funny at this point
Very good point. Guess it gave more stuff to do for footage, idk. I woulda lifted it as high as it could go if i was heading to alaska 🤣
@@janson2911 community should've been more focused on cyber bullying them to buy a Jacket or Tow Rope... Just Saiyan 😁
I’m a little disappointed about how unprepared they were. None of them thought to bring recovery equipment heading in case something happened in the middle of nowhere.
As a guy that just found out that he's on a time limit for living I MUST TAKE THIS TRIP WITH MY DAD AND MY 9YR OLD DAUGHTER TO MAKE A MEMORY THAT SHE WILL HAVE FOREVER AND FOR ME TO MAKE WHAT LITTLE TIME I HAVE NOW MEMORABLE....THANK YOU GUYS.
Respectfully, we all have a "time limit for living" - Some of us just have a little more time than others.
Don't be too sure about that time limit, but making memories is a good idea for all of us.
Just take it lol, what are you waiting for. If you don't go now you will be stuck someplace for months.
Good luck with your trip.
I took a 7000 mile road trip from VA Beach up north into Montana on route 2 into Glacier National Park, then down the Columbia River gorge in Oregon to the pacific ocean, then down the Umpqua river thru Idaho and then to rocky mountain National Park in Colorado stayed at a buddies in steamboat springs, and then back home to Charlottesville Virginia and I tell you what it's the greatest experience I've ever had and I actually got paid 5k to do it
As someone from Alberta, watching y'all enjoy Banff honestly made me smile. I spend so much time in those mountains its easy to take them for granted. If you ever come back this way please do a meet up it would be awesome to meet you guys!
Fun fact, that guy Aman Singh helped me out once when I ran out of gas right outside Fort Nelson on my way back up to Alaska from Seattle (I live in Alaska, bought a car in Seattle and was driving it back up). A lot of the stations were closed because of Covid and I was forced to chance it into Fort Nelson and ran out of gas on the uphill right before the town, like a mile! I've done the drive a million times through Canada to/from Alaska so I knew what to do, and I called his station, and he brought me gas and I followed him to the store and paid him there! Incredible guy! I always love doing that drive, but now I bring a jerry can whereas before I never had to worry about it. Also btw, All Season tires suck in snow, they're the tires on every single car today. Most people up here use winter tires, like dedicated winter tires. Great video as always guys!
As a Canadian I was waiting on this episode. Loved it! Now my friends in the states can really see what my Subaru goes through in the winter 😂
You have tons of fun :-)
Also loved how the breezed through Sask like everyone else!
lol the guys are surprised their car is Barely dirty..also..not so sure they'd survive a real winter storm the way they are talking loool
@@Lilpetegr01 pretty sure it’s mostly acting (cause I thought Virginia gets Easterns?), but it was amusing watching the ditch pull and just seeing Ben sit there hoping a Taco could pull an Evo out from a dead stop. They just managed to hit one of the wettest/coldest springs for the past few years out here.
@@Lilpetegr01 They weren’t here long enough I feel to actually see how much salt your car can carry 😂
Cinematic, thoughtful, ACTUAL car enthusiast content, with a cherry of dry humor on top.
Thank you Gears and Gasoline, you guys are epic!
Man this is so inspiring for the car community to get their builds out the damn garage and on the road!
My Fiancée and I took a trip out west from Ontario, Canada. We camped in Banff national park. I could never get sick of waking up, walking outside, and being surrounded by mountains. They look fake because your mind just can't comprehend how massive amd beautiful they are. We did the typical tourist trip to Lake Louise, and I proposed to her there. By far my favourite trip I've ever gone on
As a Canadian, I enjoy seeing their reactions to the snow lol
Lol I'm from the mountains of Colorado, and still amazed at the views of Canada.
@@Alex.....S ya but you might choose blizzaks.. I know I would. I'm also from the mountains of Colorado, whatever that means
i dont think these guys put winter tires on, thats why they slipped into the ditch
@@awnis001 think they had all seasons, but even just the general reactions to snow of people who aren't used to it I find so.... imma say entertaining haha
@@paulweber8067 yea all good
After watching every trip you guys do in modified cars it really makes me want to do the same to have those memories and really see how reliable my car is 😂 i cant wait to see the outcome in the next episode!
Your car is not reliable
@@TheSuperBoyProject it never is
Do it. Soon as my rig is ready, I want to. Shoot, have you noticed that half the world is taking a trip to Alaska.
David Freibuger once said "You never really sort out your project car without a long roadtrip,"
That guy is awesome, really a perfect example of a person who deserves everything to go well. Out of his own kindness he took his time to help you guys
The purity of this experience is soothing. The friendship, the camaraderie, beautiful sights, paying it forward and a lot of driving. Goals
As a Calgarian I'm really disappointed y'all didn't stop by and meet with the locals! It was really cool seeing y'all drive up towards Mt. Ha Ling, it's one of my favorite mountains to hike and I'm glad y'all enjoyed the view of Canmore!
Edit: It was nice to see y'all driving somewhere I've actually been!
Yeah same I would love to have seen them come to Calgary !!
@@Justinbieberiswack08 don't
yeah I’m not sure when they pulled through but I would’ve loved to pass them going 190 in my clapped Ford Focus lol
@@codypendency9482 i flew by them outside grande prairie at 130 like they were standing still lol
It actually gave me goosebumps when they pointed out ha ling . And those mountain goats on that area. Haha. The boss of that area. From Edmonton here🤙
This channel is so damn underrated. The content, the quality of the editing, and Ben squared make the video's better every time they upload.
dude I came here to comment on the expert level editing too. This channel is VERY underrated, but I'd say their time is beginning as we speak.
Fr this is some Top Gear top notch editing 👌🏼
You guys are the best road trip channel i have come across. Kudos to the camera man who made it look so professional. Wish you guys all the best and keep doing the great work.
Watched roadkill?
Those mountains, the drive, etc... actually got me emotional. Guys, I can't compliment you enough for these trips and the way you take us on the journey together
Congrats on the 1mil subscribers! Been watching your content since 300k, and just watching your passion for the cotent you make and how it evolved was just amazing. May yall continue with your journey!
This series is the best. The RX7 + Miata/Civic videos inspired my wife and I to take our own trip to Tail of The Dragon in my built WRX last year.
How did it go bro
@@samcharles1166 It was amazing! It was about a 10 hour drive to Gatlinburg where we stayed for the week. We went to Dollywood 2 days, rode some mountain coasters, went to the Smokey Mountain National Park, and of course drove about 2 hours to spend a day going up and down the Tail.
My wife said riding the dragon with me was as intense as any roller coaster.
Would definitely recommend Gatlinburg as a good mountain vacation spot.
@@johnmyers236 Wow sounds like you guys had a great time. I would love to check it out someday If I'm in the area
Ive been sick on that road a few times. Have yet to drive my ForesterXT there. This fall maybe
It's always nice to see people's reactions to the mountains and scenery here in Alberta, since we all sort of take them for granted. And as someone who drives their STI in the winter the snow packed wheel wells are a problem for all of us and I'm glad Ben didn't miss out on the experience.
Don't have to go that far north for that, I had it in Minneapolis. But in winter, not summer.
@@davidquinn9676 it's not uncommon to get a flurry of snow in the mountains at the end of spring, especially in the Kananaskis
Really enjoyed this episode. im from Alberta but moved to the philippines 2 years ago and seeing banff again really had me missing home! you guys are awesome!
Imagine having that life being able to travel whenever you want. Its so beautiful. These videos help people like me who can't travel still experience, at least partially, the excitement of a big road trip
The chemistry I see in this show is something I haven't seen since the original Top Gear BBC show. All you need is a James May type and its perfect!
There’s not much chemistry tbh.
@@john-martin they’re both awkward as fuck
This is top gear from wish chemistry the fck are you talking about 😆😆😆
This is more akin to a Travel Documentary than Top Gear, which for me is just as good, I get to enjoy a car trip without doing the seat miles. If you want Top Gear on UA-cam, you can check out Car Trek.
More like adam and jamie from mythbusters haha still love it
As a Albertan, glad you guys got to check out the Rockies. We're so fortunate to have them in our backyard.
Keep these road trips going forever plz!!
I’m glad you clarified the difference in octane, the 93 raised my eyebrows. Wicked trip 👌
35:00 didn't even have to explain all of this. I noticed right out of the gate how things were gonna have to be done considering there's only 3 of you guys! Incredible camera work, from the camera placements, to the drone operations. I was blown away by the effort put into everything. Kudos to you guys! Safe travels!
These 30+ minute videos go by so fast, awesome content!
Im so jealous of the types of roadtrips you get to do! And the part that it is part of your jobs as well makes me even more jealous! I’ve been driving my BMW’s all over southern part of Norway, but never had the time to do the northern part because of my job. Im so inspired by your journeys that i will keep exploring my own country by roadtripping till i have seen everything Norway has to offer!
Keep up your amazing videos, and please don’t stop with the roadtrip series you guys do, big or small.
As a Kansan who just got back from a trip through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I have to say it's an amazing experience to be up in the mountains. The views bring me back year after year. I love your on-track car content but these road trips are so fun to watch and the visuals are always stunning. Keep up the great work, guys!
Beautiful! I always appreciate the high level of cinematography that goes into every video, thanks for showing us a tiny glimpse of bts footage that makes these trips so difficult and time consuming. GnG has to be one of the most underrated automotive YT channels. Congrats on 1M, we'll deserved
Woot! Glad this dropped today. Coffee time and G&G time!
I really cannot commend you guys enough for making this one of kind genuine content!
It really brings soo much joy to me bc it reminds me of the time drove my first BIG road trip i did for myself in my own car. (Didn’t do nothing as cool as you guys, but definitely was for me)
Love the content keep it up 👍🏼
Literally no one else I’d rather see road trip awesome cars with awesome people and awesome places!
3yrs ago I watched your vlogs regarding Alaska tour, and again I am watching your current Alaska tour,, lots of improvements have been done, I really enjoyed the Canadian scenics, Rocky Mountains, lakes, ...And finally one of my favourites Mitsubishi EVO.... cheers Freind ,, from Far away ... another end of the world,,,,🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Production quality and story telling is top notch. Just found you guys and I love this series. 10/10
I absolutely love this series. The cars, the scenerie, eveything is just so good 👌🏽👌🏽
As a Canadian, I laughed when he said 'Will be good we have all-season tires.' AWD does not make up for winter tires...
It's great seeing Luke getting involved in front of the camera for a change! He's a cool guy, hope we see more of him in the future!
From both of your series to Alaska, this episode is turning to be my favorite. It has comedy, a dash of drama and suspense, perfect locations through Banff, Jasper and Northern Territories, and the camaraderie between the three of you. What more can you ask! Oh yes, Dream cars! 12/10🔥🙌🏽❤️⚙️&⛽️!
Love seeing you guys drive through my home province of Alberta. It is easy to forget how lucky we are to have some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world! I’ll have to take my subie for a road trip.
Driving thorugh Banff was one of the best experiences of my life. Especially seeing the wildlife around. It's awesome! Thank you for bringing some memories back.
That 8:00 segment was peak Subaru owner right there. If you see a dirt mountain road you are contractually obligated to drive it
It's true, I just bought a WRX and it's literally in the sales contract.
@@joshuamathews1299 I haven't replace my car in a bit, does ignoring the dirt road still void your manufacturer warranty?
Literally watching this watching this again from the beginning, it was such a great episode and really fun watch! Thanks for all the effort that you guys put into your channel, and it's great to see Luke having a good time too! Awesome seeing you guys really enjoy yourselves! All the best, from South Africa.
Ayyy congrats on 1 mil! I've been watching since 400k or so (although to be honest I'm not that much of an OG) and it's been amazing to see you guys grow, and I've always wanted to see you guys do this road trip again. I guess my mind has been read...
Finding this channel has been a highlight of my month. I can’t stop watching these road trip videos. The most relaxing videos to watch before bed, especially after a rough day. You guys have such a great chemistry, can’t wait to see more.
As a Canadian I get really excited when you guys come over this way. It’s also super awesome to see you guys get excited about meeting us and seeing our culture
Congrats on 1m subs! This is definitely one of the best series you have done. Keep up the good work :)
Awesome man, you definitely captured the Canadian road trip experience with this one. Getting stuck, getting helped and then helping someone else right after, thats what its all about man!!!
I've driven to Alaska and recognized many of the areas you went through. My question is that you said this was summer so when did you do this trip? I went in the summer to but the weather was much nicer than what you had. Fairbanks will get into the 90's in the summer. And as you learned, it's almost always better to pull your car out the way it went in. Loved the video though. If you ever do it again let me know and I'll join you on the way up!
ive been wondering the same thing. I was in canadian rockies at end of september and it wasnt that snowy so that must have been may or april
That dude that saved you guys was a god send, happy he was able to save you guys & you paid it forward ! can't wait for more !
its amazing that i enjoy every long videos G&G has made because it feels like 10 minutes video and i cant stop asking for more!! Congratulations on the 1 Mil subs 🤠
What a brilliant episode, the cars ran flawlessly and the scenery was epic! It was great to see a stranger help out when you were stuck
and only wanted you to “pay it forward” which you then got to do.
Love the work and the videos you guys put out on the weekends. Truly relaxing and adventurous. Keep up the good work.
So cool seeing you guys enjoy the beauty of Canmore! Really glad seeing my hometown getting so much screen time
Man everything in these series are amazing, from the amazing cinematography and story that keeps us entertained to the "making of" that connects with us. Sweet spot right there, thanks for the good time watching it!
Made me proud to be Albertan! Thank you for showcasing our beautiful mountains boys!
Guys I just wanna say how much this video inspired me to explore the open road. I now plan to drive the alaskan highway this year. This series is so much more than just a road trip guys, fantastic work. I come back and watch this series often, and i find myself in awe every time. Thanks so much, and keep up the amazing videos.
Y’all are truly so awesome for making this trip and creating this series! Thank you so much and I’m so proud that y’all are from VA!
I could like before I even watch your videos. I really truly feel that this is one of the best car UA-cam channels. Keep up the great work and content. Respect 🇯🇲✌🏼👍🏼
Ooh man, 1M subs, been watching since 150k subs... Super proud to have witnessed this massive growth 🙏🏾
Congratulations, and most of all thank you for making our Saturdays 🙏🏾
These road trips are awesome. Especially using high-performance cars. Keep making these excellent videos.
Hey guys Canadian here! I liked how you stopped in Canmore ! The tip of the mountain is called ha ling peak it’s an old miners trail, and the views from up top are incredible. Love the road trips and videos !
It's great watching you guys. Stay safe out there....safe driving! greetings from the Philippines.
Man these videos are so wholesome and the production is amazing. Makes me really want to hit the road and get out there.
From Kenya ,you guys give me a reason to work hard and get a nice car and life to visit these places
Gears and Gasoline will forever be my favourite channel!!
Love to see more uploads about road trips!
I just noticed you guys hit 1 MILLION subscribers! Congratulations and well deserved. You've had top notch quality content from the start!
You guys do such incredible filming, narrating, and editing. Congrats on 1million subs! Should be 4million by now IMO🤙
Don't feel bad Ben, I made the same mistake my first time heading to Alaska, no coat whatsoever. I also went immediately Walmart as well, got a whole new wardrobe haha. Keep up the awesome work gentleman.
These road trips are so good!
Amazing roadtrip. Thank you for sharing your adventures to someone in the tropics who loves automotive as well.
Guys, this is really amazing. Your roadtrips are by far the best content on your channel and the videos are some of the best car videos available on YT overall. Thanks and congrats and please do it again.
this is not just a story of rally cars and mad drivers with unlimited money . this is a story of humanity ❤️ I love these guys so much
As an Albertan, I am very suprised you guys didn't just follow highway 1, but took my favorite highway of all time, highway 40.
Great video:) So much more than cars and driving; human interaction, beautiful scenery and real stakes. Well done G&G!
Some of the best videos on UA-cam. Love watching these road trips!
These road trips are what grab people! We then stay for all the amazing quality videos amd stories you all do. From the first trip and on to hopefully not the last. Congrats on the 1 mil.!
The hardest part of the roadtrip is leaving behind the marvelous canadien scenery 😭
Roadtrip is one of my favorite content and most awaited on this channel, not only for me but for other viewers as well. The combination of the cars, cinematic, scenery, editing, and storytelling is very beautiful. Thank you for putting in a lot of hard work to make this roadtrip content.
The scenery along the way was breath-taking. Great video you guys!
This series just makes me very happy. Genuinely tickles something deep down inside me, keep it up boys! You two bring so much joy too so many different men, woman and children around the world. From us all… we love you guys!
You missed the perfect opportunity for "not just the men but the women and the children too" reference
I love your guys videos
You guys are literally living my dream. 🤧.. Thank you for this video.. The world we live in is truly beautiful
I love these Road trip series! Banff is such an unreal place, I lived there a few years back.. 🇨🇦
As an Evo VIII owner, I'm so enjoying your journey. Just sipping a cappuccino on my easy chair, in Arizona, and seeing the beautiful scenery and cold makes me 'feel' cooler! Looking forward to more of your adventure. Safe travels!
You almost always, without fail, recover a vehicle from the direction it went in. Keep that in mind for the future.
I think no one really understands the amount of effort and time it goes into filming these, extremely impressed with the quality of the film, keep up the great work guys!!!! Loving this road trip (might actually be the best one yet)
I can't even imagine how long total footage is to create each episode. Truly amazing videography and BGM. I love playing your road trip series while I am driving highway long distance (3+ hours). It is very entertaining and soothing at the same time.
34:55 I road trip alone and this is literally me every time when i try to take shots of my car. Time consuming but its so worth it
I'm on a 8 hour drive and you uploaded at the PERFECT time 👏
Have a safe trip Felipe!
Watching videos and driving
Your hard work definetly shows in the videos, you guys have an awesome channel and are doing a great job with it. Keep living your dream :)
Awesome to see you guys enjoying my back yard so much driving through Banff!
Love love love this series, thank you guys 😊
