Benjamin Chen was arrested on April 7, 2020, following a wrecking spree in his Gemballa Mirage GT. He lost control of the car, punted a minivan, and appeared to drive away from the scene of the initial wreck. The damaged car ended up in another crash shortly thereafter, eventually leading to his stop by the New York State Police and formal arrest by the New York Police Department. The whole thing was caught on video, with no ambiguity about who was driving. Yet on March 16, 2021, the Manhattan District Attorney's office dropped its charges against Chen. had to find out who this guy was..Hi frm NZ.
@@PositiveOnly-dm3rx I mean, sure, the justice system sucks, but you can't just blame "them" -- likely 70 million or more of "us" are likely about to vote for said multiple felon and self-admitted SA-er. Why is a multiple felon and self-admitted SA-er allowed to run for president? Because the Founding Fathers felt that 1. it would be wrong to give a corrupt president the power to disqualify his rivals by getting them convicted on fake or insignificant charges; 2. nobody's going to vote for such a person anyway, so there's no need to disqualify them, right?
@duckmeat4674 it's not political, it's all about the money. Truth is if Trump never became president he'd still be defrauding and NOT facing any charges. He would be just like he was in 2015. Lol😅😅😅
No it wouldn't. Even someone like that would be terrified to publicly out a judge as being corrupt, which would be a natural consequence of breaking it down. If they have the power to make multiple counts of felony reckless driving go away, they can also get Legal Eagle de-barred and blacklisted just for giggles.
@@Lurch-Bot LegalEagle has discussed corrupt judges before. Or, has at least thrown shade on their ethics and integrity. Hell, check his coverage on Trump's cases where the judge was giving as much leeway to Trump as possible. Also, He practices in the state of California, not the District of New York. Lastly, he wouldn't be commenting on a judge. Since it was the DA's office that dropped the charges, not a judge that threw the case. It was the FORMER DA at that, so he wouldn't even be commenting on the current DA administration. So, I don't think they could hurt him much. This guy has done commentary on Rudy Giuliani before, and seriously corrupt cops. And he still seems to be fine. He's a high profile celebrity and a successful lawyer. So, I doubt the bar association of California would want that kind of shade. Do you really want LegalEagle talking to millions of people on the internet about how you're trying to ruin his career? I wouldn't lol.

@@Lurch-Bot Wrong on all accounts, friend. Devon has already criticised *former* DA Cy Vance for corruption in the past and made a new found career of speaking truth to power, people much more powerful than a disgraced former DA. Besides even if Vance remained DA for City of NW he would not be able to have a litigator disbarred for making political commentary, not within the scope of their power you see. Yes criticising a public official is legally protected, even directly making accusations of poor conduct. While years ago Legal Eagle was very averse to opinionated commentary Devon and team are far more confident than they used to be. Millionaires are small fries for the Legal Eagle Team these days.
I believe the argument someone in the da gave was that because there was nobody on the road, so he didn't hit the bench marks for reckless driving but fuck he did still leave the scene of an accident at the very least
After seeing that crash in NY and he was acquitted, I dug into it a little... long story short, the guy had a VERY good lawyer on this kind of stuff. In NY apparently the traffic laws concerning reckless driving leave a lot of room for interpretation to what constitutes "reckless driving"... and that lawyer basically weaseled his way through those laws. The other thing is that the guy was on some kind of drugs, BUT the drugs he used were not on "the list" and therefor he couldn't be charged. He of course did have to pay for the damages caused.
@@TV-8-301 No, that's nothing. Paying the damages is the absolute base consequences of this kind of incident that anyone would have to pay. That's not even a punishment, it's just something that is inevitable so long as both parties have insurance. The charges and legal consequences are what is meant to deter people from doing this in the future. Plenty of people have more than enough money to be willing to pay more for insurance if that's the only consequence to doing this sort of thing.
15:16 Not having a regular starter for the car, is more of a happy side effect of the main reason they do this. The engines in those things are super high strung, and don’t really hate idling/operating at a low RPM. So when starting the car, to avoid obliterating the clutch by slipping it on an engine running at 5000rpm, you use the electric motor(Which is housed inside the trans) to get the car up to speed, than turn on the engine. Without the added torque from those electric motors covering low speeds, those cars would have to go through clutches like water
Main reason for the electric motors is for running in the pit as part of the fuel saving initiative to make motorsport "green and environmentally friendly". The nice side effect is no need for starter or "pushboy"
@@JoriDiculousIn the 24 hours, LMP1 cars are not required by the rules to have hybrid drivetrains. They can have only internal combustion, and still race. The reason they use hybrid systems, is because it solves a ton of problems with going insanely fast for a long time around a track. If the tech sucked, and wasn’t useful anywhere else, we wouldn’t see it anywhere besides racetracks. But more and more Super/Hyper cars are using hybrid systems. There is a reason cars like the mclaren P1, Aston martin Valkyrie, ferrari La Ferrari, and etc use similar hybrid systems. The use of electric motors in that way was a very deliberate and very smart engineering choice. I’m also not a fan of every brand going electric; I mean hell I daily an 03 ram 1500 which guzzles gas like there is no tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean I can’t respect some insane race engineering when I see it.
@@natefilla3187 Yeah these guys aren’t experienced with the V10 platform. The Black Huracan later on in the video is an LP610-4 Coupe, not a Performante. And the carbon brakes shouldn’t have any better braking performance than the steel ones (“base model”), provided the tyres are good. They’re mostly just for brake dust management - virtually no dust - and on-road durability. On a track, they can still warp after just 1 session, and will last the same time as the steel brakes.
@@R8FKL Ceramic brakes can handle heat better and have less brake fate. As well they a re lighter which reduces unpsrung mass. McLaren Senna Brakes need to bake 1 month in the oven and perform extremly well. Better then steal brakes for sure. As well in normal cases ceramic lasts longer cause it is way harder and almost no brake dust means almost no wear. Ceramic brakes don't really brake better then their steel counterparts in most cases and need warm up time not like steel brakes but they handle heat way better and don't fate as quick. If you overheat any brake, it will get damaged...
@@AlcatrazCrylake You’re right, they can, but in terms of real world performance this only translates into low brake dust and high on-road durability. Yes the unsprung mass is lower, but it’s not worth the cost of maintenance/replacement. Take a trip over to the McLaren, Huracan and R8 forums where everyone seemingly switches over to Girodisc or another high-end steel rotors manufacturer (AP Racing etc.). Someone warped their Senna CCs after 2 track days in Laguna Seca. At the end of the day, these are carbon ceramics, not carbon-carbons.
@@R8FKL They change them because for daily track use they are very expensive. One warped set of senna brakes is... Maybe a damaged product. I mean the front windows used to crack or the whole car could burn down. As well you can overheat any brakes. At the end there is a reason why many racecars run steel brakes. Still ceramics are better performer for way too much money.
The black Lamborghini huracan wasn't the performante just a regular first-gen , and the other clip of the hurricane burning the first one is showing different car from the second one the photo with the burning car was a gallardo
Welcome, Leo! He's fun, bring him back! Always thrilled to see Sandro. Question about the rich guy in NYC who took out the minivan and drove off. Is there any reason he would have disabled the airbag? Do people do that for some reason?
Some people do believe that when an airbag deploys you immediately loose ability to control the wheel indefinitely, resulting in a followup crashes. Wouldn't surprise me if people disabled them for that specific reason.
It was a heavily modified Gemballa, I would put money on the reason no safety features went off is because this guy or whoever he had work on the car intentionally bypassed them
12:44 If that guy is really that rich, powerful, and litigious then don't be surprised if _this_ is one of the videos that gets taken down and y'all get a cease and desist or even a lawsuit.
If this guy manages to see this video and then this comment and then this response: Dude you're a coward, pay for your damages like an adult, make the minivan owners whole again. This ish is unbelievably brazen
Well, I googled his name and got multiple articles and videos of this pretty much on the first few results. So, while he might be very litigious (and a massive c*nt -> please sue me if you're reading this), it would appear that there are some limits to what lawyers can achieve, especially when they may have to face internet megacorps. But this not being prosecuted (apparently was DUI as well) is a massive travesty. Any car guy should simply just snub him, whenever they see him. Because he clearly does not deserve to be behind the wheel of any great car. Apparently not the first supercar he crashed, but he seems to very invested in and very passionate about the car scene (going on what google told me).
@turnermd1302 meanwhile if he was Trumps kiddy pimp he would just killed him in a locked and supervised room while they delete the cam footage. It's sad to have to do that to his friend
LeMans cars are running in electric mode in the pits as part of the fuel saving initiative to make motorsport seem more green and environmentally friendly. All of the prototype cars have been hybrid for some time now, so it's not difficult for them to run like this.
They were talking while the Cadillac started up, those things sound like hell is coming with them. I got to see it in Austin a few weeks ago, they sound amazing in person.
That's not the reason? The gearing for the main engines can't go that low in the pits, unless you want the trans shredded you use it like a take-off launch engine.
The guy in the water is from a Targa Newfoundland Rally. That's a fast stage through a town with a lot of braking, next to the ocean where the wind covers the road in dust and sand. He definitely was over ambitious in a downhill braking zone, but that's rally.
The wind doesn’t cover the roads with sand in Newfoundland, the sand trucks do. Notice the rocky beach. The biggest problem with Newfoundland roads is that they are rough and full of potholes. Not to mention narrow with turns everywhere.
@@markchatman9583 as a Vermonter I understand the concept of winter sand. I made the assumption that offshore breezes would add an additional environmental element to the equation. Mostly I wished to convey that this wasn't just an idiot on the street but someone pushing hard in an intense and awesome race. If I had the money and skill that is the race that I choose above all others, even Finland and I grew up and live over three miles from pavement by the shortest route lol And better sand than salt, apparently mechanics south of the snow line don't even own air tools 😂
Meanwhile, a stock R32 would laugh it off. Where do people get the money to do stuff like this when they are obviously complete idiots? That's not a rally car anywhere but the Forza Horizon Universe!
I've seen that video of the Bugatti Oil Change, it was a place in Vegas you can rent exotics. It took them quite a bit of time. They couldn't get the car on the lift initially, and they also changed the air filters because they were in there (also, I found it interesting, they had to measure the oil drained, to know how much to put back in). One laugh they had was they had to cut zip ties as part of the process.
@@darkwinter7395 A lot of supercars or hypercars are actually poorly designed. That's what you get when your only goal is performance (or you're building a Ferrari).
@@darkwinter7395 You should not? What do you want from the car? Performance and mechanics on and extreme level or easy service? Let's be real. People who buy those cars have the money. If you really start to think about how to make the service easy on such a car... It is wasted time and money as well space. The veyron and chiron are almost made out of radiators. Keep the package as tight and the weigth down with being easy serviceable? Why? The buyer has the money and should give the car to its producer for service or certified service centers. It is not poor design. It would be wasted space, time and weight on a car that is to expensive for most people to work on. It is not a car that has to do daily drive and life. I understand your point but it is only one way to look at it...
He knew he failed and made the correct decision to ride it out between the barriers instead of wrecking his car into them... I have no problem with it. He kept his cool and made the good call.
Slamming on the brakes tends to cause a loss or severe reduction of steering ability, so if the driver was trying to prioritize steering between the barriers vs trying to slow down for the corner, it would make sense that they didn't press the brakes while they were trying to steer. Your front end grip is split between braking and steering, so you have to prioritize which one is more important.
That black huracan at 4:14 isnt a performante it is a base model because of the lack of aero and no Italian stripe underneath the door, also those arent centre locks
Also, the brakes looked like carbon ceramic, which might explain why he flew off the track. If there is not enough heat in the brakes, they won't work well.
I guess we’re all car guys here. But for some reason super cars do very little for me. Shitboxes, modifications and attainable dream cars is where it’s at for me!
Built shows care, experience, and effort. Bought shows you have money. The only respect I can give to supercars is the new tech in them, Koenisegg's cam-free engines are one of my favorite examples. I've been wanting to mess with solenoids on a non-interference motor ever since I heard of free valve.
As marvels of engineering I do respect and admire them. Koenigsegg is ground breaking for sure. But they don’t tickle me much emotionally. I understand it’s weird, but I think we have become desencitized somehow. Fixing audi tt’s in driveways was more interesting car content. For me anyway. Especially now as EV appliances can be as fast as some supercars of recent times. It’s about character cars and even driving slow cars fast. But I understand that there’s room for everyone.
@@karalyzel3177I've heard the exact same idea coming from some of my pc enthusiast friends; it's all about the specs/new tech, not the brands/$$$. Kinda cool to see that connection between car guys and computer guys.
Exactly. Anyone with enough money can buy into a really fast supercar (with no skills I might add) but it takes a gearhead to take a POS and make it fast. That's far more interesting to me as a gearhead than watching some rich prick write a check.

I drove a Lambo around a track for one of those "experiences" with an instructor. No joke, my brakes failed going into a corner. Managed to steer away from the wall enough and stop it on the track. The issue was brake fade from the 3 other people before me heating the brakes up. I had the pedal on the floor and it was barely slowing down. They were supposed to be rotating the cars out every couple of people but one of them was broken down. I have it preserved forever on DVD. 🤣 They didn't even give me another lap for the trouble.
I'd be more proud to drive a work truck than any overpriced high trim-level truck. Those things are so ridiculously expensive now, and all the options just make them less useful than before. Those trucks are for the guy who wants to appear as though he needs the utility of a truck when really all he wants are the same creature comforts that a luxury car would have, only now he's paying twice the money on gas to be the single occupant of a truck that never gets used to do any actual work. Always remember, there is honor in being a working man.

Storytime.... I once worked at a very high end store with drive up services. We decided to ask all the customers with high end cars one day how fast they'd ever taken their car for an "unofficial survey cuz we're bored". Out of the 300+ people we asked, 2 had broken 100mph. All vanity. And the rest of us with 4 bangers are out hitting the fun stopper as soon as we have a chance lol
Thinking a $1M car getting a $21k oil change is reasonable is equivalent to thinking a $50k car should have $1k oil changes. It's still absurdly expensive.
The problem lies with the car's design. In order to reach the engine, nearly half of the entire car has to be torn down for it. It's very time consuming and they have to take care not to damage any of the panels.
Considering how few places would be willing to do the work in the first place I bet a fair chunk of that $21k is to cover the insurance premiums in case the techs miss some screws or break a part. Not to mention how many techs in a given area are going to even have access to the training material to work on a Veyron. It's not like its part of the usual AllData subscription package.
@Hybris51129 Not to mention expenses on things that cost that much don't scale linearly. It doesn't work that way. A million dollar car is gonna have a higher ratio for a lot of service per dollar spent on the car than your average "mid" class car due to the significantly higher level of expertise needed to work on them. You don't get good enough to work on cars like that easily.
i dont think the explanation for the ferrari part around 5:30 is fully correct. Some of those accidents happen because you let the throttle of and the weigth transfers too fast to the front.

Electric motors to assist acceleration for the LMP are also a starter. A starter rotates the engine. The fact that the EMA also can be activated to add more power to the drive train doesnt change the simple fact, that indeed it is technically a starter. A very large and powerful one, but just a starter. So no, it does not "replace a push start".
13:40 There were videos of him speeding, running thru red lights, and he sped away with parts flying off after hitting 5 vehicles...including the minivan. Police caught up with him, he tried to flee and the DA could not prove a thing.
I’ve got nothing against the chap on (our) left and naturally, I think Sandro is a genuinely great bloke. However, one thing that happens in the US that doesn’t really happen anywhere else (nowhere near as much anyway) is the modification of Ferraris, Lambos etc. To this day, I’ve NEVER seen a “modified” Ferrari that looks anything close to looking as good as it did when it left the factory. The motoring hobby is super-vast and I say everyone should do what makes THEM happy regarding their car. Something which I of course extend to the Ferrari modifiers - it’s simply because I’ve never understood it in the slightest…
P.S. I couldn’t help but notice the name of the company that transformed (or rather, hideously destroyed) the Murcielago into a Tw@Mobile. The comany’s name was perfect though, they called themselves ‘Bad Stuff’ and they couldn’t have been more on-point.
In the second clip, the cars shown at the start and the end are DIFFERENT! The first is a Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD, and the second is a Murcielago. Considering the surroundings in the clip, it was probably shot somewhere in the Middle East and the stuff the car threw off the road was just sand or some dust on the road.
4:30, the Lamborghini driver understeered the car, and possibly had brake failure, which caused the car to not make the corner. They also probably were going too quick into the corner. Luckily they didn't crash into the concrete barriers.
Big glasses, backwards hat over ears, tattoos, septum good enough for a facial piercing.... surprised they didn't make him wear a long, straight haired wig to finish off the Angelina starter kit.

2:44 we had a customer at Audi who didn’t wanna pay for an R8 oil change so he took it to jiffy and a week later it showed up at our shop because they drained one drain plug and put 9 quarts in it and drove it.

Yep. I don't want to hate but so much wrong info being spewed out as "facts". The TT Huracan kits is a tried and true recipe, unless install is wonky or tune is too aggressive none of the things he mentions are an issue.. in fact it looked like he didnt even notice its a TT kit. LBW parts of kits are literally for sale on the LB website... having to "buy the whole kit again" is insane and its just to hype things up. Traction/Stability Control description is SOOO wrong its not funny, this is not how it works, if thats how it worked it wouldnt do anyone any good to have the systems on. Steel brakes vs Carbon are a visual fad. Unless the car is consistently tracked the steel brakes perform just as well and heatsoak is a non factor but guess what, real track guys swap out carbon brakes in preference of steel ones for longevity and ease of use. The kit car is a gallardo, easy to tell from the interior, not a murci. The LeMan cars are hybrid, not having a starter is just a side effect not the real reason why thats done. Its to be green and also the ICE doesnt reallly like to lump around sub 4k RPMs.
Fun fact, it is illegal for any car manufacturer to void your warranties due to an independent shop (of any kind) performing maintenance. The funny thing is the bill is posted in my local jiffy lube. It passed in 1975.
I think (without looking it up) what the LeMans cars do - they use a hybrid system for low-end power with the electric motor (plenty of low-rpm torque) directly attached to the ICE. As soon as that reaches a certain rpm level - the ICE kicks in. This is a neat way to get rid of turbo lag. Koenigsegg does it this way.
4:02 "that's no base model, that's a performante" as the most base model looking huracan ever rolls past the screen😂 the performante is like one of the most recognizable trims, how do you mess up that bad?
The Porsche might be a track only model with a hard racing harness but no fuses or airbags which would explain why it could keep limping along after a (relatively*) minor crash. *relative in racing terms. The car wasn't torn in half.
The Porsche airbag: If you don't fasten your seatbelt some cars won't deploy airbags. Or just moded to crash the hell out of the poor thing 'till it drives.
Ain't no airbags in that old Porsche. Its from the before times. People say it's really a death trap but in reality, all it takes is learning how to drive it properly. You slam that gas pedal and it goes all over the place just like an old 911 or Lambo or Ferrari from that era. This is how supercars from that era worked. The GT2 of that era is probably the worst. I have one. Without new hot tires you can drive it like a grandma but one flick of the gas and you're fucked, you're now doing 110 without any control of anything. I love that car. Driving it is kind of like parachuting into a war zone (I am a former airborne ranger) where you have to be really meticulous about everything or you die. It can be exhilarating and make you feel more alive than you ever were but do it wrong and you're done forever.
My dad’s got a sports car shop and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from hanging out and working in there it’s that these nice cars are just cars, sure they put stuff in weird places or do stuff slightly different, but the general maintenance and approach to service is the same, just way more stressful because it’s expensive af when you screw up.😂
4:03 that’s actually base model, or “previous” base model. Huracan Performante have spoiler on the back and Italian flag on the side. The front bumper also looks like base model, the one before Huracan Evo. I’m kinda obsessed with Huracans xD.
Don't be silly, those Le Mans racers are hybrids. They run on battery power in the pits because they can (and the regulations might mandate it, I forget). The hybrid system IS the starter. (Also, the class is called Hypercar. Something like 1000 hp total but not in all conditions because rules.)
As far as the Le Mans race cars go: The hybrid systems replace the need for a starter motor, reverse, and first gear. The transmission becomes waaaay more optimized in terms of gear ratios, and has an additional limp mode to crawl the car back to the garage if something in the ICE system fails (extremely important in endurance racing). While batteries are heavy, the components that can be shed ends up making it negligible. And then since it’s a hybrid, it’s capturing energy from the brakes, letting it run longer stints on its fuel, or running lighter fuel loads (lighter car over all) on those stints. Depending on the type of Hypercar (LMDh vs LMH), the hybrid system may even allow 4wd power deployment on corner exits for even more traction (Ferrari Toyota and Peugeot do this currently), anyone running LMDh chassis run spec hybrids that deploy to not the rear wheels. A hybrid system isn’t even required in LMH, but every manufacturer so far has deemed it advantageous with the extra torque and fuel saving on top of the added benefits above. There have been a couple non-hybrids attempted since LMH started, but they were all privateers and weren’t competitive. Next year Aston will be the first big manufacturer to attempt LMH with a non-hybrid hypercar with the v12 Valkyrie, and that’s going to be really interesting. The Valkyrie clip in the video isn’t the race spec car, that’s just a track day with a “normal” Valkyrie. Since they have an enormous engine and the class has a power limit, detuning the 6.5L v12 is already a challenge to keep the car’s weight balanced, so that’s why they’ve opted for no hybrid.
Yea Emelia Harford is pretty goat. I remember her original Subaru days when she only had a car or two. Now she does indeed have a fleet and a shop. Also Sandro going "WTF IS THAT??? thats goss.." is pretty hilarious
The guy who lost it in the Ferrari on the test drive gunned it mid corner did lift off the gas in a panic and then tried to counter steer while lifting off which is NOT what you do to correct the situation. As soon it gets into a slide and then you lifting off while counter steering, let's the back tires grip up again particularly in rear or mid rear mounted engines where the weight distribution is more rear biased. You need to have a good understanding and feel for how a car like that behaves if you want to put the foot down mid corner like that and this guy had no idea and was caught by surprise when it broke loose. Yes, cars with stability control would have saved it but I don't think it was an option on this one, maybe traction control but that's it.
It's a first gen Ferrari California (that would count as a "modern" ferrari) it has stability and traction control, both of which were likely turned off to try and do skids. Also, listen back to the wrong explanation that he gives. He actually says the car crashed BECAUSE of the stability system removing his capacity to brake. So much wrong into being fed to people who dont know any better... I guess we are in the minority of people who watch this and actually can refute these "facts"
@AyaxRo yes, if stability kicked in, the car would have been diffused from losing control even if he had his foot down the whole time because he would have lost throttle access because the computer takes it away in such situations.
13:08 So fun fact: That is not a Porsche Carrera GT, that is actually a Gemballa GT. So it is likely that during the modification for that car, they removed all the safety measures that Leo is talking about so that they can give it more power and a closer racing experience than it initially created.

Benjamin Chen was arrested on April 7, 2020, following a wrecking spree in his Gemballa Mirage GT. He lost control of the car, punted a minivan, and appeared to drive away from the scene of the initial wreck. The damaged car ended up in another crash shortly thereafter, eventually leading to his stop by the New York State Police and formal arrest by the New York Police Department. The whole thing was caught on video, with no ambiguity about who was driving. Yet on March 16, 2021, the Manhattan District Attorney's office dropped its charges against Chen. had to find out who this guy was..Hi frm NZ.
welcome to the 2 tier american justice system. Where a multiple felon and self admitted SA'er can run for president.
@@PositiveOnly-dm3rx I mean, sure, the justice system sucks, but you can't just blame "them" -- likely 70 million or more of "us" are likely about to vote for said multiple felon and self-admitted SA-er. Why is a multiple felon and self-admitted SA-er allowed to run for president? Because the Founding Fathers felt that
1. it would be wrong to give a corrupt president the power to disqualify his rivals by getting them convicted on fake or insignificant charges;
2. nobody's going to vote for such a person anyway, so there's no need to disqualify them, right?

@duckmeat4674 it's not political, it's all about the money. Truth is if Trump never became president he'd still be defrauding and NOT facing any charges. He would be just like he was in 2015. Lol😅😅😅
If Legal Eagle breaks down that Benjamin Chen video, it would be legendary.
No it wouldn't. Even someone like that would be terrified to publicly out a judge as being corrupt, which would be a natural consequence of breaking it down. If they have the power to make multiple counts of felony reckless driving go away, they can also get Legal Eagle de-barred and blacklisted just for giggles.
@@Lurch-Bot LegalEagle has discussed corrupt judges before. Or, has at least thrown shade on their ethics and integrity. Hell, check his coverage on Trump's cases where the judge was giving as much leeway to Trump as possible.
Also, He practices in the state of California, not the District of New York.
Lastly, he wouldn't be commenting on a judge. Since it was the DA's office that dropped the charges, not a judge that threw the case. It was the FORMER DA at that, so he wouldn't even be commenting on the current DA administration.
So, I don't think they could hurt him much. This guy has done commentary on Rudy Giuliani before, and seriously corrupt cops. And he still seems to be fine.
He's a high profile celebrity and a successful lawyer. So, I doubt the bar association of California would want that kind of shade. Do you really want LegalEagle talking to millions of people on the internet about how you're trying to ruin his career? I wouldn't lol.

@@Lurch-Bot
Wrong on all accounts, friend. Devon has already criticised *former* DA Cy Vance for corruption in the past and made a new found career of speaking truth to power, people much more powerful than a disgraced former DA. Besides even if Vance remained DA for City of NW he would not be able to have a litigator disbarred for making political commentary, not within the scope of their power you see. Yes criticising a public official is legally protected, even directly making accusations of poor conduct.
While years ago Legal Eagle was very averse to opinionated commentary Devon and team are far more confident than they used to be. Millionaires are small fries for the Legal Eagle Team these days.

who dat?
Asian? Godamnit we aint beating the allegations with this one.
I believe the argument someone in the da gave was that because there was nobody on the road, so he didn't hit the bench marks for reckless driving but fuck he did still leave the scene of an accident at the very least
Upvoting this video while it’s still up.
After seeing that crash in NY and he was acquitted, I dug into it a little... long story short, the guy had a VERY good lawyer on this kind of stuff. In NY apparently the traffic laws concerning reckless driving leave a lot of room for interpretation to what constitutes "reckless driving"... and that lawyer basically weaseled his way through those laws. The other thing is that the guy was on some kind of drugs, BUT the drugs he used were not on "the list" and therefor he couldn't be charged. He of course did have to pay for the damages caused.
yet they go after trump, shows how corrupt it is
A very "skilled" lawyer. Ain't nothing good about letting that walk.
Ok well at least he paid the damages, that's something
@@TV-8-301 No, that's nothing. Paying the damages is the absolute base consequences of this kind of incident that anyone would have to pay. That's not even a punishment, it's just something that is inevitable so long as both parties have insurance. The charges and legal consequences are what is meant to deter people from doing this in the future. Plenty of people have more than enough money to be willing to pay more for insurance if that's the only consequence to doing this sort of thing.
welcome to the 2 tier american justice system. Where a multiple felon and self admitted SA'er can run for president.
15:16 Not having a regular starter for the car, is more of a happy side effect of the main reason they do this. The engines in those things are super high strung, and don’t really hate idling/operating at a low RPM. So when starting the car, to avoid obliterating the clutch by slipping it on an engine running at 5000rpm, you use the electric motor(Which is housed inside the trans) to get the car up to speed, than turn on the engine. Without the added torque from those electric motors covering low speeds, those cars would have to go through clutches like water
Main reason for the electric motors is for running in the pit as part of the fuel saving initiative to make motorsport "green and environmentally friendly". The nice side effect is no need for starter or "pushboy"
@@JoriDiculousIn the 24 hours, LMP1 cars are not required by the rules to have hybrid drivetrains. They can have only internal combustion, and still race. The reason they use hybrid systems, is because it solves a ton of problems with going insanely fast for a long time around a track. If the tech sucked, and wasn’t useful anywhere else, we wouldn’t see it anywhere besides racetracks. But more and more Super/Hyper cars are using hybrid systems. There is a reason cars like the mclaren P1, Aston martin Valkyrie, ferrari La Ferrari, and etc use similar hybrid systems. The use of electric motors in that way was a very deliberate and very smart engineering choice. I’m also not a fan of every brand going electric; I mean hell I daily an 03 ram 1500 which guzzles gas like there is no tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean I can’t respect some insane race engineering when I see it.
You also get to reduce the amount of abuse the breaks take when slowing down while simultaneously extending your fuel range

2:22 Born a Huracan, Died a Gallardo 😂
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that 😂
@@natefilla3187 Yeah these guys aren’t experienced with the V10 platform. The Black Huracan later on in the video is an LP610-4 Coupe, not a Performante. And the carbon brakes shouldn’t have any better braking performance than the steel ones (“base model”), provided the tyres are good. They’re mostly just for brake dust management - virtually no dust - and on-road durability. On a track, they can still warp after just 1 session, and will last the same time as the steel brakes.
@@R8FKL Ceramic brakes can handle heat better and have less brake fate. As well they a re lighter which reduces unpsrung mass. McLaren Senna Brakes need to bake 1 month in the oven and perform extremly well. Better then steal brakes for sure. As well in normal cases ceramic lasts longer cause it is way harder and almost no brake dust means almost no wear. Ceramic brakes don't really brake better then their steel counterparts in most cases and need warm up time not like steel brakes but they handle heat way better and don't fate as quick. If you overheat any brake, it will get damaged...
@@AlcatrazCrylake You’re right, they can, but in terms of real world performance this only translates into low brake dust and high on-road durability. Yes the unsprung mass is lower, but it’s not worth the cost of maintenance/replacement. Take a trip over to the McLaren, Huracan and R8 forums where everyone seemingly switches over to Girodisc or another high-end steel rotors manufacturer (AP Racing etc.). Someone warped their Senna CCs after 2 track days in Laguna Seca. At the end of the day, these are carbon ceramics, not carbon-carbons.
@@R8FKL They change them because for daily track use they are very expensive. One warped set of senna brakes is... Maybe a damaged product. I mean the front windows used to crack or the whole car could burn down. As well you can overheat any brakes. At the end there is a reason why many racecars run steel brakes. Still ceramics are better performer for way too much money.
The black Lamborghini huracan wasn't the performante just a regular first-gen , and the other clip of the hurricane burning the first one is showing different car from the second one the photo with the burning car was a gallardo

Welcome, Leo! He's fun, bring him back! Always thrilled to see Sandro. Question about the rich guy in NYC who took out the minivan and drove off. Is there any reason he would have disabled the airbag? Do people do that for some reason?
based on his driving skills, he may have just not replaced it.
Some people do believe that when an airbag deploys you immediately loose ability to control the wheel indefinitely, resulting in a followup crashes. Wouldn't surprise me if people disabled them for that specific reason.
It was a heavily modified Gemballa, I would put money on the reason no safety features went off is because this guy or whoever he had work on the car intentionally bypassed them
12:44 If that guy is really that rich, powerful, and litigious then don't be surprised if _this_ is one of the videos that gets taken down and y'all get a cease and desist or even a lawsuit.
Yeah, he'll come after this
Send the rich guy to see Titanic ASAP
If this guy manages to see this video and then this comment and then this response:
Dude you're a coward, pay for your damages like an adult, make the minivan owners whole again. This ish is unbelievably brazen
Nah, fair use.
Well, I googled his name and got multiple articles and videos of this pretty much on the first few results. So, while he might be very litigious (and a massive c*nt -> please sue me if you're reading this), it would appear that there are some limits to what lawyers can achieve, especially when they may have to face internet megacorps.
But this not being prosecuted (apparently was DUI as well) is a massive travesty. Any car guy should simply just snub him, whenever they see him. Because he clearly does not deserve to be behind the wheel of any great car. Apparently not the first supercar he crashed, but he seems to very invested in and very passionate about the car scene (going on what google told me).

LeMans cars are running in electric mode in the pits as part of the fuel saving initiative to make motorsport seem more green and environmentally friendly. All of the prototype cars have been hybrid for some time now, so it's not difficult for them to run like this.
They also had startes even before they became hybrids. F1 cars dont have starters
no :D valkyrie has it because of high idle and gearing. they would have to have extra gear. even normal ´´daily´´ has it.
But they talked too much when the Cadillac started up. Love that hell portal opening up sound it makes😂
They were talking while the Cadillac started up, those things sound like hell is coming with them. I got to see it in Austin a few weeks ago, they sound amazing in person.
That's not the reason? The gearing for the main engines can't go that low in the pits, unless you want the trans shredded you use it like a take-off launch engine.
The guy in the water is from a Targa Newfoundland Rally. That's a fast stage through a town with a lot of braking, next to the ocean where the wind covers the road in dust and sand. He definitely was over ambitious in a downhill braking zone, but that's rally.
The wind doesn’t cover the roads with sand in Newfoundland, the sand trucks do. Notice the rocky beach. The biggest problem with Newfoundland roads is that they are rough and full of potholes. Not to mention narrow with turns everywhere.
@@markchatman9583 as a Vermonter I understand the concept of winter sand. I made the assumption that offshore breezes would add an additional environmental element to the equation. Mostly I wished to convey that this wasn't just an idiot on the street but someone pushing hard in an intense and awesome race. If I had the money and skill that is the race that I choose above all others, even Finland and I grew up and live over three miles from pavement by the shortest route lol And better sand than salt, apparently mechanics south of the snow line don't even own air tools 😂
Meanwhile, a stock R32 would laugh it off. Where do people get the money to do stuff like this when they are obviously complete idiots? That's not a rally car anywhere but the Forza Horizon Universe!
Pretty sure it's a Ferrari FXX Evo
I've seen that video of the Bugatti Oil Change, it was a place in Vegas you can rent exotics. It took them quite a bit of time. They couldn't get the car on the lift initially, and they also changed the air filters because they were in there (also, I found it interesting, they had to measure the oil drained, to know how much to put back in). One laugh they had was they had to cut zip ties as part of the process.
The Veyron is a remarkable machine - but as a _car_ it's rather poorly designed. You should _not_ have to disassemble it to change the filters & oil.
@@darkwinter7395 A lot of supercars or hypercars are actually poorly designed. That's what you get when your only goal is performance (or you're building a Ferrari).
@@darkwinter7395 You should not? What do you want from the car? Performance and mechanics on and extreme level or easy service? Let's be real. People who buy those cars have the money. If you really start to think about how to make the service easy on such a car... It is wasted time and money as well space. The veyron and chiron are almost made out of radiators. Keep the package as tight and the weigth down with being easy serviceable? Why? The buyer has the money and should give the car to its producer for service or certified service centers. It is not poor design. It would be wasted space, time and weight on a car that is to expensive for most people to work on. It is not a car that has to do daily drive and life. I understand your point but it is only one way to look at it...
@@darkwinter7395 From what I saw (the company who owned that car)
The lambo driving through the grass didn't even hit the brakes until he hit the grass. You can see them light up.
yeah, looked to me like maybe the driver cut too hard, pushed the front, and chose to ride it out instead of trying again.
He hit the brakes turning in and locked up. Typical amateur fault
In some neighborhoods that's called an insurance scam.
Seems too obvious
He knew he failed and made the correct decision to ride it out between the barriers instead of wrecking his car into them... I have no problem with it. He kept his cool and made the good call.
Slamming on the brakes tends to cause a loss or severe reduction of steering ability, so if the driver was trying to prioritize steering between the barriers vs trying to slow down for the corner, it would make sense that they didn't press the brakes while they were trying to steer. Your front end grip is split between braking and steering, so you have to prioritize which one is more important.
"Because the heat is so hot."
Yeah, my man, that's year one stuff. Haha.
ug ug, fire hot!
10:39 He thinks those are off-road tires because they're big, hahahaha
Love you Sandro you make me laugh every time I watch
That black huracan at 4:14 isnt a performante it is a base model because of the lack of aero and no Italian stripe underneath the door, also those arent centre locks
Also, the brakes looked like carbon ceramic, which might explain why he flew off the track. If there is not enough heat in the brakes, they won't work well.
I love this channel fr

One of my favourites from the years of that rally.
I guess we’re all car guys here. But for some reason super cars do very little for me. Shitboxes, modifications and attainable dream cars is where it’s at for me!
Built shows care, experience, and effort.
Bought shows you have money.
The only respect I can give to supercars is the new tech in them, Koenisegg's cam-free engines are one of my favorite examples.
I've been wanting to mess with solenoids on a non-interference motor ever since I heard of free valve.
As marvels of engineering I do respect and admire them. Koenigsegg is ground breaking for sure. But they don’t tickle me much emotionally. I understand it’s weird, but I think we have become desencitized somehow. Fixing audi tt’s in driveways was more interesting car content. For me anyway.
Especially now as EV appliances can be as fast as some supercars of recent times. It’s about character cars and even driving slow cars fast.
But I understand that there’s room for everyone.
@@karalyzel3177I've heard the exact same idea coming from some of my pc enthusiast friends; it's all about the specs/new tech, not the brands/$$$. Kinda cool to see that connection between car guys and computer guys.
Exactly. Anyone with enough money can buy into a really fast supercar (with no skills I might add) but it takes a gearhead to take a POS and make it fast. That's far more interesting to me as a gearhead than watching some rich prick write a check.
Emelia Hartford is legit legit, im surprised neither of them seemed to know who she is or the serious building and driving she does

I drove a Lambo around a track for one of those "experiences" with an instructor. No joke, my brakes failed going into a corner. Managed to steer away from the wall enough and stop it on the track. The issue was brake fade from the 3 other people before me heating the brakes up. I had the pedal on the floor and it was barely slowing down. They were supposed to be rotating the cars out every couple of people but one of them was broken down. I have it preserved forever on DVD. 🤣 They didn't even give me another lap for the trouble.

Storytime.... I once worked at a very high end store with drive up services. We decided to ask all the customers with high end cars one day how fast they'd ever taken their car for an "unofficial survey cuz we're bored".
Out of the 300+ people we asked, 2 had broken 100mph.
All vanity. And the rest of us with 4 bangers are out hitting the fun stopper as soon as we have a chance lol
Thinking a $1M car getting a $21k oil change is reasonable is equivalent to thinking a $50k car should have $1k oil changes. It's still absurdly expensive.
The problem lies with the car's design. In order to reach the engine, nearly half of the entire car has to be torn down for it. It's very time consuming and they have to take care not to damage any of the panels.
Considering how few places would be willing to do the work in the first place I bet a fair chunk of that $21k is to cover the insurance premiums in case the techs miss some screws or break a part. Not to mention how many techs in a given area are going to even have access to the training material to work on a Veyron. It's not like its part of the usual AllData subscription package.
i love that Bugatti, but the fucking design to maintain it is just retarded
@Hybris51129 Not to mention expenses on things that cost that much don't scale linearly. It doesn't work that way. A million dollar car is gonna have a higher ratio for a lot of service per dollar spent on the car than your average "mid" class car due to the significantly higher level of expertise needed to work on them. You don't get good enough to work on cars like that easily.
@@desertsandfly2277exactly. If they fuck up, it's gonna be on them to cover that cost.
i dont think the explanation for the ferrari part around 5:30 is fully correct. Some of those accidents happen because you let the throttle of and the weigth transfers too fast to the front.

@2:22 isnt that a murcielago in the picture? pretty sure thats not the same huracan in the clip. anyone else notice that?
Close. It's a gen 2 Gallardo. Still not the Huracan, though.
Electric motors to assist acceleration for the LMP are also a starter. A starter rotates the engine. The fact that the EMA also can be activated to add more power to the drive train doesnt change the simple fact, that indeed it is technically a starter. A very large and powerful one, but just a starter. So no, it does not "replace a push start".
That batmobile was fugly as hell lol.
"stealership" yo, you better get it trademarked, im using this shit from now on lololol
13:40 There were videos of him speeding, running thru red lights, and he sped away with parts flying off after hitting 5 vehicles...including the minivan. Police caught up with him, he tried to flee and the DA could not prove a thing.
That's because the D.A. was holding his bribe money in front of his eyes when he was watching the videos.
It’s called corruption.
I’ve got nothing against the chap on (our) left and naturally, I think Sandro is a genuinely great bloke. However, one thing that happens in the US that doesn’t really happen anywhere else (nowhere near as much anyway) is the modification of Ferraris, Lambos etc. To this day, I’ve NEVER seen a “modified” Ferrari that looks anything close to looking as good as it did when it left the factory. The motoring hobby is super-vast and I say everyone should do what makes THEM happy regarding their car. Something which I of course extend to the Ferrari modifiers - it’s simply because I’ve never understood it in the slightest…
P.S. I couldn’t help but notice the name of the company that transformed (or rather, hideously destroyed) the Murcielago into a Tw@Mobile. The comany’s name was perfect though, they called themselves ‘Bad Stuff’ and they couldn’t have been more on-point.
In the second clip, the cars shown at the start and the end are DIFFERENT! The first is a Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD, and the second is a Murcielago. Considering the surroundings in the clip, it was probably shot somewhere in the Middle East and the stuff the car threw off the road was just sand or some dust on the road.
Gotta click for my boy sandro. New guy is cool too

4:30, the Lamborghini driver understeered the car, and possibly had brake failure, which caused the car to not make the corner. They also probably were going too quick into the corner. Luckily they didn't crash into the concrete barriers.

Yep. I don't want to hate but so much wrong info being spewed out as "facts".
The TT Huracan kits is a tried and true recipe, unless install is wonky or tune is too aggressive none of the things he mentions are an issue.. in fact it looked like he didnt even notice its a TT kit.
LBW parts of kits are literally for sale on the LB website... having to "buy the whole kit again" is insane and its just to hype things up.
Traction/Stability Control description is SOOO wrong its not funny, this is not how it works, if thats how it worked it wouldnt do anyone any good to have the systems on.
Steel brakes vs Carbon are a visual fad. Unless the car is consistently tracked the steel brakes perform just as well and heatsoak is a non factor but guess what, real track guys swap out carbon brakes in preference of steel ones for longevity and ease of use.
The kit car is a gallardo, easy to tell from the interior, not a murci.
The LeMan cars are hybrid, not having a starter is just a side effect not the real reason why thats done. Its to be green and also the ICE doesnt reallly like to lump around sub 4k RPMs.
Sandro and Angie is a must on any videos
Dude as a diehard arkham game fanboy that batmobile had me geeking
4:00 I love you sandro, so down to earth...hahaha
Fun fact, it is illegal for any car manufacturer to void your warranties due to an independent shop (of any kind) performing maintenance. The funny thing is the bill is posted in my local jiffy lube. It passed in 1975.
Two step. First step is for the bois, second is to the bois who fix what you break.
Second clip shows a Huracan driving by then a Gallardo on fire 🤷♂️ love you guys!!!
This liberty walk t shirt guy doesn't know anything.
I think (without looking it up) what the LeMans cars do - they use a hybrid system for low-end power with the electric motor (plenty of low-rpm torque) directly attached to the ICE. As soon as that reaches a certain rpm level - the ICE kicks in.
This is a neat way to get rid of turbo lag.
Koenigsegg does it this way.
DOES NOBODY NOTICE THAT THE SECOND VID IS FAKE?? the car on fire is an aventador and that is driving on the highway is a hurracan. 2:11
Yes, hundreds of people noticed. Read the comments instead of talking.
4:02 "that's no base model, that's a performante" as the most base model looking huracan ever rolls past the screen😂 the performante is like one of the most recognizable trims, how do you mess up that bad?
How does someone work on supercars and doesn't know how to pronounce Porsche (NOT Porsch)???🤯
same with Murcielago. I think it's just an American thing? (mispronouncing foreign names/words)
Ignorance and apathy. "Don't know and don't care."
The Porsche might be a track only model with a hard racing harness but no fuses or airbags which would explain why it could keep limping along after a (relatively*) minor crash.
*relative in racing terms. The car wasn't torn in half.
not a performante because they came with a fixed rear wing.
For a guy that "works" on these cars adding goofy body kits he doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does.
Sandro is the man.... I've been waiting for him to upload on his channel again.
The Porsche airbag:
If you don't fasten your seatbelt some cars won't deploy airbags. Or just moded to crash the hell out of the poor thing 'till it drives.
Ain't no airbags in that old Porsche. Its from the before times.
People say it's really a death trap but in reality, all it takes is learning how to drive it properly. You slam that gas pedal and it goes all over the place just like an old 911 or Lambo or Ferrari from that era. This is how supercars from that era worked. The GT2 of that era is probably the worst.
I have one. Without new hot tires you can drive it like a grandma but one flick of the gas and you're fucked, you're now doing 110 without any control of anything. I love that car.
Driving it is kind of like parachuting into a war zone (I am a former airborne ranger) where you have to be really meticulous about everything or you die. It can be exhilarating and make you feel more alive than you ever were but do it wrong and you're done forever.
My dad’s got a sports car shop and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from hanging out and working in there it’s that these nice cars are just cars, sure they put stuff in weird places or do stuff slightly different, but the general maintenance and approach to service is the same, just way more stressful because it’s expensive af when you screw up.😂
Loved the, "This is RMS Baby, catch you guys later!" At the end.
Liberty walk guy was wrong, not a performante huracan lol. He had claimed that by looking at moving wheel lololol
4:03 that’s actually base model, or “previous” base model. Huracan Performante have spoiler on the back and Italian flag on the side. The front bumper also looks like base model, the one before Huracan Evo. I’m kinda obsessed with Huracans xD.
One of the best RMS videos Sandro is the new best at Donut better pay him before he leaves
4:08 not a Performante, they come stock with a carbon fibre wing.
Don't be silly, those Le Mans racers are hybrids. They run on battery power in the pits because they can (and the regulations might mandate it, I forget). The hybrid system IS the starter. (Also, the class is called Hypercar. Something like 1000 hp total but not in all conditions because rules.)
Just got home I see Sandro I watch, like, and favorite.
Mighty Car Mods and Real Mechanic Stuff are my favourite UA-cam car channels 🏁🏁🏁⚙️🛠🔧🖤
As far as the Le Mans race cars go:
The hybrid systems replace the need for a starter motor, reverse, and first gear. The transmission becomes waaaay more optimized in terms of gear ratios, and has an additional limp mode to crawl the car back to the garage if something in the ICE system fails (extremely important in endurance racing).
While batteries are heavy, the components that can be shed ends up making it negligible. And then since it’s a hybrid, it’s capturing energy from the brakes, letting it run longer stints on its fuel, or running lighter fuel loads (lighter car over all) on those stints.
Depending on the type of Hypercar (LMDh vs LMH), the hybrid system may even allow 4wd power deployment on corner exits for even more traction (Ferrari Toyota and Peugeot do this currently), anyone running LMDh chassis run spec hybrids that deploy to not the rear wheels. A hybrid system isn’t even required in LMH, but every manufacturer so far has deemed it advantageous with the extra torque and fuel saving on top of the added benefits above. There have been a couple non-hybrids attempted since LMH started, but they were all privateers and weren’t competitive. Next year Aston will be the first big manufacturer to attempt LMH with a non-hybrid hypercar with the v12 Valkyrie, and that’s going to be really interesting.
The Valkyrie clip in the video isn’t the race spec car, that’s just a track day with a “normal” Valkyrie. Since they have an enormous engine and the class has a power limit, detuning the 6.5L v12 is already a challenge to keep the car’s weight balanced, so that’s why they’ve opted for no hybrid.
Yea Emelia Harford is pretty goat. I remember her original Subaru days when she only had a car or two. Now she does indeed have a fleet and a shop.
Also Sandro going "WTF IS THAT??? thats goss.." is pretty hilarious
15 solid minutes of Tony getting called out.
The guy who lost it in the Ferrari on the test drive gunned it mid corner did lift off the gas in a panic and then tried to counter steer while lifting off which is NOT what you do to correct the situation. As soon it gets into a slide and then you lifting off while counter steering, let's the back tires grip up again particularly in rear or mid rear mounted engines where the weight distribution is more rear biased. You need to have a good understanding and feel for how a car like that behaves if you want to put the foot down mid corner like that and this guy had no idea and was caught by surprise when it broke loose. Yes, cars with stability control would have saved it but I don't think it was an option on this one, maybe traction control but that's it.
It's a first gen Ferrari California (that would count as a "modern" ferrari) it has stability and traction control, both of which were likely turned off to try and do skids.
Also, listen back to the wrong explanation that he gives. He actually says the car crashed BECAUSE of the stability system removing his capacity to brake. So much wrong into being fed to people who dont know any better... I guess we are in the minority of people who watch this and actually can refute these "facts"
@AyaxRo yes, if stability kicked in, the car would have been diffused from losing control even if he had his foot down the whole time because he would have lost throttle access because the computer takes it away in such situations.
Leo is a brilliant co-host more with him please
