    I’m new to the channel, and like what I see. The POV combined with binaural audio makes watching your videos all the way through *completely* worth it. Especially your enthusiasm! More below:
    I’m not sure if you take requests, but if you do, I’d love for you to consider the *2018 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5 L.* It sports a new design different from years before. It’s definitely a car I’m interested in, and I’d love to get your perspective on it. ESPECIALLY the acceleration on the 4-Cylinder engine!

    where do you live bro... empty highway and literally no cops and you stay below 80mph, with this car I would go for 130mph at least. Even in LA, I pull with my X6M whenever there is a gap to around 120 or so.

      @jtlovespi2493 4 роки тому

      He lives in Michigan. Also, everytime I go up to LA, the place is crowded with traffic. Not sure how you get the chance to go 120+.
      If you want open road freeways, Monterey Bay is worth looking at.

      Since turning right, he checks right first as there should not be anything in his way except for the rare cyclist/walker, and then left until he turns to check for oncoming vehicles.

    • @Userl-lm2qh
      @Userl-lm2qh 4 роки тому +1

      Dmitry I do that as well (in the U.S.) to check for people that might start crossing from the right side, and if there are none, I look left to see if there are any cars coming (if it’s a red light for me or stop sign) so I can make the right turn.

    • @metrichawk3008
      @metrichawk3008 4 роки тому

      Besides that, the amount of time spent standstill is just ridiculous. He literally spent 4, maybe 5 seconds to check for traffic when that could've easily been done before even reaching the juction. That's why people need 200+ HP cars in the US so they can make up the time wasted on BS like this.
