    For those that don't understand all the props that say "Nuka Cola" or the two flags of the New California Republic and the red bull of the Legion, this is all from the INCREDIBLE, WELL THOUGHT OUT video game role playing game, "Fallout: New Vegas." By the way, New Vegas day is coming to Goodsprings on July 8th. Goodsprings was used as the starting area for the protagonist.

    The flags at the 9:59 mark are from the Fallout: New Vegas game. The red one with the bull is the flag for Caesar's Legion. And then immediately following that are shown a bunch of neat Fallout memorabilia.
    I didn't even know this saloon was real until now. Now I REALLY want to visit Goodsprings!

      Lived in Las Vegas 40+ years and have visited the Pioneer a few times. Unfortunately not since the release of New Vegas. But if you look closely, it's an almost spot on resemblance. I just might take a trip there this weekend.

    When I lived in Las Vegas I worked with the man that owned the Pioneer bar and I helped him do some work on the building. At one time the well for the bar went dry and he had to haul water to the bar to keep it open. That went on for several years, as a permit for water is very hard to get in Nevada, you have to buy water rights. There is an old saying in the desert "You will fight over gold but you will kill over water"

    Now that is a weird car collection! A Yugo, an early 70s Honda 600, and a bunch of Lada Okas. I recognized the first 2 but had to look up the Oka, since I had never heard of it. Oka was never sold in the U.S. The Honda 600 is kind of the predecessor to the Civic. There was an episode of Chips where a big football player drives one and rips all the doors off of it.

    • @FionaOfMountLawley
      @FionaOfMountLawley 2 роки тому +4

      Jean NV is the place where MIROX Corporation (owner Miroslav Kefurt), which also trades as Oka Auto USA is based, with a business office in Las Vegas.
      Currently they have an agreement which allows them to build NEV ZEV electric mini-cars under license from GAZ which seem to use essentially the same platform as the Oka, except it is electrically powered.
      In the mid 2000's MIROX Corporation struck a distribution deal with LADA and imported an unknown number of the gasoline powered Okas with the motorcycle engines they were equipped with at the time from Russia. These don't seem to have sold very well, however.
      The cars there must have arrived as part of that importation between ~2005 and ~2008.
      Or perhaps they were remaindered stock on inventory after the bankruptcy filing by LADA in 2008. He might be using them for refitting with electric motors and selling them as NEV ZEVs. I hope those would be examples which were protected from the elements rather than left sitting out in the desert for over a decade, maybe.
      Miroslav Kefurt also imported Yugos and Fiat x1/9s during the 1980's and sells/sold a synthetic lubricant oil about which dubious clams have been made, possibly by him, as well as an oil filter about which inflated claims may also have been made.

    You should go check out the Techatticup Mine southeast of Vegas. A couple movies had scenes shot out there as well. Breakdown and 3000 miles to Graceland. A quirky mine tour is also there.
