Honorable mention: NPCs who will retort against ANY fast car with "yeah but my Tesla Plaid is faster to 60 and costs half as much". These are the tech bros who love cars as one-trick ipads on wheels. It doesn't matter if they're comparing to a handling focused car that's actually fast around a track, a car that can keep up the acceleration north of 120, a classic car, a car that's expensive because it's art on wheels, a car that doesn't need cooling after 3 launches. For these people any car is inferior than their Plaid and its 0-60. So basically a worst version of quarter mile enthusiasts.
I appreciate that you used the image of a Dutch highway at 9:58, one of the best countries for drivers because of their great infrastructure. There's this one video called "The Best Country in the World for Drivers" by Not Just Bikes, which goes much deeper into this. Long story short, their public transport is amazing, and it's faster to go somewhere in your town by bike or just walking rather than taking a car. Only people who actually drive there are the ones who want to and the ones who NEED to.
That is true, now that I drive my own car for pleasure (Saab 900 NG cabriolet) I do enjoy the buttery smooth asphalt of my country. While true, everyone pays quite a hefty bill in order to use it (taxes, road taxes, and did I mention taxes?). All in all it enables a country to exist where you can have both your functional public transportation and great road infrastructure. By the way, I had to give this picture a double take, since it is taken near my home town!
People don't seem to realize that good public transport and bike infrastructure makes everybodies lives easier, safer, and less stressful, including the lives of drivers.
SO TRUE!! All your points are spot on … never stop!! :/ I never understood the "spec guys' who build fast cars and NEVER take them to a track event and really see what those things can do.
I am partially guilty of being a spec guy but I just adore the mechanics and engineering behind these vehicles, the numbers are part of it but not a big part.
They are to busy road racing on populated roads and putting other peoples lives in danger just to be a "street racer" and seem cool, and they are the ones who complain when they get pulled over and have to pay the fine for there own stupidity.
Because the whole point, is not what the car do, but what it can do. When you operate with the numbers, describing your car, you do not need to spend time and money in actual racing.
Im glad you're advocating for public transit and biking infrastructure as a car enthusiast. It really is beneficial for everyone, whether you're a car guy or not
Right? When I came across the public trasnport channels as a car guy I was a bit off put. My first thought was "I like cars so this makes no sense" but after learning about it and not immediately shutting down an idea that I've never learned about I started to get into it. I commute by bike and it's actually wonderful! Getting to work via active transport is really refreshing, even if its kinda cold out. I'm getting my daily movement in everyday, helping the planet, not taking up tons of space on the roads, and since I love pretty close to my workplace anyway it literally makes no sense for me to drive to work so I took up bike commuting.
Honestly, if someone goes through the effort to shove a W16 on a yugo i'd just hand them every fucking argument afterwards because it's that brilliantly stupid and overcomplicated.
I don't know how much of the Yugo would remain in order to fit it lol. 100% the Chassis would snap. By the time you start stretchign and reinforcing it, you'd probably have a "W16 Kit Car" instead of a Yugo, since it deviated too far to be a Yugo at that point (Modifying an OEM Platform AKA Trans/engine/chassis still counts as making that model fast, but once you start changing engines, trans, AND Chassis, it's a different/custom car at that point. Lots of Countries will legally require you to title it as a Kit Car too, since once the Frame is modified, it no longer passes it's original Crash Safety Test.) And once the VIN changes, it's a different car. So the Yugo W16 Dream may never happen. ..but a Yugo V12 Dream still can😂 If an Aventador V12 fits in a Miata, we can get one in the Yugo too!
@@BladedAngel i mean, it fits with the excessive complexity of the W16. The moment you try to shove one of thoose onto anything that it didn't come out of you just have to accept that the next 10 years of your life will be dedicated to engineering and reinforcing a chassis that is probably not gonna be enough either way, ending in a snap at the 4k miles marker to start over again, if gas even exist at that point
My top 5 most hated "car guys": - brand/country elitists - teenager sadboi culture - ghetto takeover culture - "if it's not expensive, it's shit" - "if it's not fast in a line, it's shit"
Commenting on the second one you mentioned, I love my Interceptor 650 precisely because of this. Yeah, the dude on the $20k superbike will be fast as hell, but I will enjoy the engine roar, going full throttle on curvy roads much, much more.
I ain't trying to blast triple digits thru intersections then bitch online like, "look at these Karen's pulling out in front me" when they know damn well they aren't giving any1 time to react to them... I like old slow bikes. Just enjoy the ride, y'know?
@@BladedAngel this is exactly why I like Hondas. They scream and sound amazing yet you look down and realize you're only going 60. I do have a Truck with a 400hp ls for when I wanna drive it or need power but my little honda is fun too
Reminds me of an 'argument' I got in with my friend's Brother-In-Law right after I got an STi. - Him: "Yeah, but my BMW M3 will blow the doors of it once I get it running! It is way faster!" Me: "No, it isn't, because it isn't running, so my STi is faster." Him: "No way man, an M3 can destroy an STi." Me: "But yours can't, because it isn't running." Him: "No, but I am gonna swap the engine, and [yadda yadda yadda]" Me: "Fine, and IF you ever do that it may be faster, but right now my car is faster than yours." Him: "You don't understand" Me: "No, YOU don't understand. You are talking about other cars being faster than mine. But your car is not. I'll settle this right now, let's go race, just down the end of your driveway." Him: "I can't do that, my car isn't running." Me: "therefore my car is faster. My wife's Focus is faster. Hell *I* am faster than your M3."
I will now use this argument when talking to any BMW owner ever. "bro, my BMW is faster than your miata!" Nope. In fact, I, the human talking to you, can run faster than your BMW can drive at this moment. Get back to me after the BMW is back from the mechanic.
I want an F-1 swapped Mclaren F1 (fun fact: the F-1 is still the most powerful rocket engine even though it was made back in the 60s on the Saturn 5 which sent men to the moon)
OH SHIT! I was thinking this same thing some time ago after watching a video of big engines starting up, I even tought it could be nicknamed "Spiritfire" as a a pun with spitfire and phantom/spirit
Imagine having good public transport system in US and Canada. Hell, good bicycle infrastructure would be nice. I genuinely believe that driving enthusiasts in US and Canada should advocate for good and reasonable public transport system, as well as biking infrastructure if we want better traffic flow and a safer driving environment.
I'm a car enthusiast. I don't care about safer, I care about faster. The more cyclists and pedestrians haunt the twisties, the bigger the "just in case" margin we have to leave when we're out there, in terms of both speed and surface width. We should be moving towards a world where everyone just sort of accepts the right-hand shoulder as runoff/gutter-run area, not farther away.
@@ChainsawChuck13 i’m not talking about the twisties dawg, I’m talking about inner city driving. Americans and Canadians have a bad experience with cyclists because we don’t have a good cycling environment. Take a look at Amsterdam in Netherland and tell me you don’t want to at least try to implement that in the US, because that means we keep all the cyclists out of the mountains (except for off road mountain bikers) and concentrate them in the cities. The rest of the mountain roads belong to us.
I've loved cars since forever and even I commute by bike. Commuting by bike is really fun IMO. Also giving people who don't give a damn about cars and driving an alternative just benefit everyone and I cannot believe people don't advocate for it.
It's sad, I've gotten so accustomed to being portrayed as the bad guy for commuting on a bicycle (even by car people), that hearing your little rant against those drivers actually took me by surprise. Instead of being berated or threatened or even being pushed into the ditch, a decently big name is taking a different view
I always sided with them, but rarely get a chance to mention it much. I think this is my 3rd time defending them. "Signs you're a Bad Driver" i also berated Car Guys for punishment passing them as well as, "Stupid things College Car Guys Do" where I say cyclists and skateboarders matter too. Also you're definitely not the bad guy, your mere existence just threatens the fragile egos of those shocked another option exists than cars. The rest of the world uses 2 wheels, be it motorized, electric, or pedal powered, there is nothing wrong with cycling if you follow all road laws. Stay safe bro.
@@BladedAngel Especially when you realize that with fewer cars on the road, fewer restrictions and regulations are necessary, allowing cars to be lighter, more powerful, better looking, a LOT faster, and with no requirements for being practical because public transportation is practical enough. A world with both roads and plentiful public transportation would be a car guy’s paradise.
@@BladedAngel || It makes me really happy to hear that, my opinions and expectations have been tempered by Indiana drivers who are so aggressive about anything that's not a lifted truck or suv. Cyclists are the main point for them so I always come in with negative expectations

mY eNGiNE iS aN LT aCKSHUALLY. lol just messing with ya But yeah no, if the Corvette never existed, then the LS would've never been made, which means that Civic would've never had an LS to swap into it... so in a way, by calling my Corvette Stupid, they're failing to realize it's existence still contributed to their build. It's like a parent feeding and watching their son become better than them, but the Son becomes an unappreciative dick who hates their Father. Don't get me wrong, that LS Swapped Civic is still faster than me, it's just I feel no shame in it... I ride a 20HP Royal Enfield these days anyway. I stopped caring about speed bout a year ago. I realized how stupid and boring it was when I made that video, "I envy people who drive slow vehicles fast and not fast vehicles slow" Sitting in traffic in a Z06 is like watching a Cheetah in a Cage. It's worthless. technically my Enfield can gap the fuck outta that Civic. I can just filter through traffic meanwhile the Civic will still have to wait. So speed and convenience is all relative to the situation. Horsepower truly is meaningless, it's about happiness.

@@BladedAngel I feel you. I live in the country so going fast isn't a problem aslong as you respect other drivers and you do see them.

@@peterbechtel9669 can confirm. Learned how to drift in my dads f150 on gravel roads and there were more than a few times I came within inches of totaling the truck. Gravel aint forgiving but it makes for a fun drive.
The bike one killed me. I’m on my bike 90% of the time because city driving sucks. My rear clipped by a woman in her suburban and she just drove off. On weekends I’m off-roading in my Impreza. Most cyclists I know love cars, which is pretty ironic.
I love cars, too and I often use my bicycle. Like you said, city driving sucks and it only takes one dumb driver to crash into my car and ruin it, so I´m happy If I don´t have to get my car into that. Also using a car for short rides is bad for my engine, because it cant heat up properly.
@@walterwhite415 Same here. I commute by bike and I love it. I don't need to lug around 2,000 lbs of metal for every trip I make, especially trips where I don't actually transport anything that can't be stuffed into a backpack. Also using a bike for transportation gets you movement in that so many Americans lack. That's one reason we've got a terrible obesity epidemic, people drive everywhere because we have no choice.
Absolute chad. I'm a car enthusiast and I commute by e-bike. I get my movement in everyday, its way more fun to take a boring work commute by bike, and it help wake you up in the morning cuz you're moving.
@@houssamalucad753 I'd also take trains to go to the next city over for day trips if trains in the USA were frequent enough. Often times you only have one train out of your city and the only return train isn't for several hours. I'd gladly take that if there were trains in both directions every hour
As a younger enthusiast, I feel clout is definitely ruining car culture. A few years ago, I would have been able to buy a Miata or a Silvia for cheap as, now all I can look at are Corollas, Swifts, and Magnas. There are some hidden gems, though, like AE Corollas (not AE85s or AE86s) or Falcons and Commodores.
I was at a classic motorcycle meet/race a few years ago and one guy had brought an old granny bicycle with a DIY pulsejet strapped to it, and he got to take it around the track a couple times. That explosion-propelled deathtrap was hella fast on the straight, but more importantly LOUD!

I think when people view cars as a straight line only, power to power comparison are smooth brain as hell. There’s so much more to cars than that, cornering, comfort, style, reliability etc. and no one out there is gonna ls swap a civic just to drive it to work every day
The car guy I hate the most is the one who drives a pretty average car but thinks it's the shit and makes fun of other cars that are easily cooler than theirs.
Well that escalated quickly. That first rant made my day, 10/10. Luckily there's less of that loan-/credit-/APR-trap stuff here in Europe, at least from what I can tell.
@@buffalobill9958 oh right, so the financing joke actually refers to mods as well in Britain? Most new(er) cars here in Portugal might be financed but I'd say that mods are not due to the hassle you have to go thru to get stuff legal. There certainly is no credit company that would directly finance things like bags or underglow
As a young car enthusiast that loves classic cars, you have all found one. I love classic cars more than modern cars not to mention just cruising in them is so much fun
I mod my cars because I like modding my cars. I'm also happy that nobody makes fun of the fact that I modify a 96 v6 camaro (but I guess that might be because 1: it has 3 pedals. 2: I modded it right). I get more compliments than anything, really. It looks good and it drives good and it feels good.
Bro in Germany the "Sad Bois" are absolutely justified. Public Transport in Germany is the biggest meme in the world and the fact that cyclist are immune when they are responsible for a crash with cars doesn't make the more beloved at all.
another thing to add with swapping engines. if you buy a vehicle with an engine swap done already, it can be worth it to swap it again if you wanna revert to stock or the old engine is comically bad for what you got the car for. I have an 88' Ramcharger with an engine swap from a dodge dart 318 drag car project that fell through, it is bored out and gets horrible gas mileage so I am swapping it to a fuel injected 318 so it is more true to the stock config of that year.
As a spec person, I agree I shouldn't focus too much on specs, more just on enjoying the car. Thanks Bladed for reminding me there's much more than specs.
When I took a trip overseas I had lots of friendly interactions with people cuz you don't need a car to get around in Europe. That's one of my favorite aspects of human-centric transportation is you get to meet people and chat with others. You never know who you're gonna come across, you could make a new friend or meet someone with a good business venture/skill that you need. Car dependency isolates society and its depressing
I ran into a spec guy who got mad at me for saying I liked the new GR Corolla and I was happy to see another hot hatch hit the market because "his Mustang could beat it." Still one of the stupidest encounters I've ever had.
About the part with the spec guys, I kinda appreciate the fact that here in the Philippines, we ONLY got a few options when it comes to performance cars (double MSRP price for new ones thanks to taxes) So some guys here are stuck eith early 2000's Civics and 90's corollas with 4AGE's. And because of that, they're given more chance to enjoy the thrill of a low HP fun car.
The worst types of car guys are the ones that won't let people drive the cars they want, or the ones that stereotype people just based on their car and what they do with it.
As a Canadian I can say it’s true that we don’t use a lot of public transportation and the city’s are the worst for it. Anyways keep up with the great vids
8:08 people who think like this genuinely scare me since I cycle for sport and health. There's been too many instances where I've almost been killed because drivers treat cyclists as second class citizens. In one occasion I almost rear-ended someone when I was going 50 mph downhill because they suddenly pulled out in front of me from their parking spot when I was about 10 feet behind them. And this was in a more "cyclist friendly" city in my area.
As a diesel mechanic I appreciate the fossil you included. Mack trucks are like a polished turd. They're crap, and so rare leaving you wondering who bothered polishing it.
The car community in general: quite a bit of toxicity The car community in Bladed's channel: surprisingly wholesome Also, as someone who's first accident totaled their car (the other party was at fault) if we had a more robust public transit system that drastically cut down on the number of cars on the road I would be way more at peace and able to enjoy myself
@@xL0stKIlah I drive just fine lol even the police said the other party was at fault. And yeah I'd rather have 5 more buses than 30 people who think that illegally merging in front highway speed traffic is a good idea. Also buses aren't the only type of public transit
I'm a 16 year old car enthusiast and I sincerely hope that slow but genuinely fun to drive cars, like miatas, kei-cars, old school roadsters, GTIs and more, will never die.
Toxic Bladed is best Bladed!! Seriously, I haven’t laugh that hard for a while; the part of the Engine swap freaks was just straight up HILARIOUS 🤣 But seriously, I can’t believe there are people who would use this argument on a debate on which car is better! To me when you Engine swap, you are creating a different car, because it has a different engine that doesn’t belong to the brand, for example if you decided to swapped an EK9 Civic B16B engine with a 4G63T from an EVO, you are creating a new car; sure the bodywork is still from Honda, but the engine is from Mitsubishi, for me that’s a total different car, because the engine acts differently from what you expect from a Honda. What do I expect from a Honda: A fun high-revving car that you can thrash around corners, not some hardcore road going rally car. Sorry for my little rambling Bladed, but anyways, thanks for making my day!
the only time I "condone" swapping is when its a classic car. when those parts finally die sometimes it's easier to find a modern engine rather than scour the earth for an original engine to replace it.
i love how bladed angel showed a dutch road (one of the best countries for public transport) and compared it to a american road (america has really bad public transport) good way to prove your point bladed
Thanks for the public transport and bike stuff. Needed to be said. Also, if you really like the feeling of going fast (as most car guys do), try riding a bike instead of a car through a congested city. You can actually get a sense of speed that way. It sometimes is just the better option.
7:09 I had this debate. Was about some guy trying to swap an Si engine with a Type-R engine like a discount type r, just get the full car lol. There's far more to a car than just it's engine and HP, it's missing suspensions, wheels, brakes, transmission, ect. It'd cost more trying to swap everything. Swapping engines is fine, just don't be something you're not (like upbadging) or shit on stock.
Yeah the engine swap is probably my favorite one to make fun of if it's to that extent, personally if you want your Volvo to sound like a V8 from the 60's, go all out on it. If it's for a reason that is just creating or doing something you yourself want to have in the car for yourself then that's in my opinion fine by all means. Bragging though? Nah that's the point where it's just petty and lame if it's just for personal fun and that then go ahead.
Yea, the engine swap one - the claimants haven't even had the "pleasure" of matching everything, from adapter plates to custom drive shafts and mounting systems, and hammering the engine compartment to make room so it fits. And most of their swap BS is so big that they may as well just slap a saddle onto the engine/transmission because that's what the car body's gonna be once that swap is done! Of course, then they'd need the skills to keep the rubber on the wheels (instead of turning into magic smoke & shrapnel) when they tromped on the gas pedal. So divorced from reality I have to "whatever" them.
I love every form of public transit, what makes me sad is the american culture that rejects this with a firing fury, granted cars will always have a place in my heart, but we are in desperate need of trains
I'm in the same situation as you, a car guy who advocates for better public transportation and more walkable cities. I think the biggest problem is that people here(US and Canada) can't comprehend living without a car because they've never been anywhere with good public transportation so they couldn't imagine living without a car without their existence being horrible.
Thank you for talking about car brained (cagers). Pedestrians and cyclists are indeed squishy but make the roads clearer for us to drive! I get so annoyed with drivers that do obnoxious things I’m on bicycle
We must support the bladed movement the movement of blade we must cut through the shit show that is the car community and the forza comment had me dead its so true
The Affirm section got me. I know a guy who had this affliction SO badly it destroyed his marriage and he ended up remortgaging his house to pay off the horrendous debt.
Hey bladed, CGP grey made a great video about cities in Europe vs North America. Long story short, Europe’s cities have been around longer, and they’ve developed with walking distances in mind, from one town to another because there was few mode of transportation millennia ago; but cities in North America, began developing no more than 200ish years ago, and we’ve had vehicles for 1/2 that time. So they developed at the same rate as automobiles were being brought to the mass market (in terms of modern infrastructure). It was basically ‘get a car, or you’ll be jobless, homeless’ etc. North America was built around cars, Europe was built around walking. Not to talk about the billions that are lobbied to prevent public transportation. Sad reality but that’s how it is :/
the thing with swapping the engine on a car is, will that car be ABLE TO PUT DOWN THE POWER that it provides. You can't go fast if you don't have any traction. And as I know if you have too much power and drive fast, the chassis could actually bend And data guys can be damn annoying. Idc if my Saab is slow, I just like the styling. I want an old 900 Turbo with Turbo lag. I'm not looking to go 200mph, I'm looking for a fun car to drive in the city which is where old-school turbos come into play. It may have about 130HP or 180HP (Depending on years) but once the turbo kicks in it'll be hella fun. I'd rather buy a car to cruise than one that would feel like I could die in at any second.
BRUH I CAN'T. STOP THIS IS KILLING ME🤣🤣🤣 oddly enough you just summarised my whole classmates. AND THANK YOU i don't get why people just don't love old cars. Morris minor, beetle,impala,and sooo sooo on. Bruh you got my sub. This is good.
the people that treat cars as the only transport is a interesting one. here in the UK, public transport is s**t. trains are late, buses are late, nothing runs on time. so if you want a dependable, easy transport, cars are the only way. however, if public transport wasn't so s**t, then people who see it's easier to commute by train then car would do it. so it is pretty dependant on how good said public transport is. and then there's bicycles and motorbikes, which people are too lazy to use
Other TERRIBLE type of car guys is the guy that only looks acceleration and top speed. Ex: In a video a modded Supra wins against a F1 car, there will be that annoying car guy who will say "HaHa LoOk At ThAt F1, lOsT tO tHe 1000 Hp SuPrA" But don't remember that speed isn't the only thing. That hipothetical f1 car whould smoke the 1000 hp Supra on the first corner.
Heyyy c'mon man we're out here 🥲 I'm still in Highschool and I've got a 76 Citroen 2cv. And man it brings a smile to my face just to look at it. Who cares if I have 29 horses anyways 🤣. Love your videos man, and I'll be sure to bring the S-car-go around to meets in Atl.
I'm from Minnesota and Minneapolis has an amazing system of public transportation, their light rail system goes to a lot of major areas of the city and is still expanding and all the bus routes have stops at the light rail stations since they are owned by the same company/the city which helps with traffic in the downtown areas
In my opinion swapping a car ruins it completely it doesn't fit the same nor does it sit and feel that same and there's always something going wrong something breaking with it
5:30 a jet engine swapped car or “GT engine” would suck tbh. The turbine takes forever to spool and is only good for the way they’re used in military EVs as generators
10:08 to add to that we tend to have a smaller community here too is the thing and so every day on my bike to school...*BEEP BEEP BEEP* "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROAD"...

Porsche Cayenne being driven by a white lady in her like 70s.
Who remembered that Renault Twingo with a literal jet engine swap? To be fair, if someone did try to argue that Twingo is the best car, I'd probably concede. But then the exception always proves the rule right? So you're still right. BTW I'm fully aware that a good 99% of people reading this will be too young to remember the jet powered Twingo, and will frantically Google it now (I'm jealous of the feeling you're about to get), but while you're googling it - they also made a Renault Espace with an F2 engine in it which is pretty much as epic as the Twingo! Yes, a 80's Renault Espace with an F1 engine. I'm not joking.

I wonder if bladed is going to hate me for my sleeper e36 325i with a 3.0L gt35r build. I’m not against people that cycle, but I am against the cyclists that take up a full lane. I actually bike a lot when I live in cities that have a good setups for it but serious cyclists are douchebags that seem to be trying to get hit.
I meet way more bad drivers than bad cyclists. Sure it sucks being stuck behind a slow cyclist, but it's not worth killing them or putting their life in danger for a few seconds of convenience. We only remember cyclists being "Stupid" simply because we see so few, so every instance stands out. We see so many bad drivers, we forget how much they suck, but I keep count...each day, at least 9 Altimas cut me off. Maybe once a month, I get stuck behind cyclists. Compared to me dying almost daily from BIG ALTIMA ENERGY🤣
@@BladedAngel man you’re lucky; most of the bad drivers I’ve experienced have been teslas in my area; when I lived in Columbus I had multiple Maserati drivers almost hit me while I was in crosswalks.
Living in Philadelphia. I felt this whole video in my soul. The car scene here isn't huge but trust me that makes it worse. And def the ending guys is everyone here.
I do hate driving majority of the time because of other idiots in their cars. However, I enjoy driving itself and im incrdibly fascinated with cars. I also understand the rules of the road and the safety of others on bikes and such. I would never put anyone else life at risk for the sole purpose of being miserable. I hate the people who get mad at cyclists and scooterist. I want everyone to feel safe on the road. I love the videos man keep up the great work!

Honorable mention: NPCs who will retort against ANY fast car with "yeah but my Tesla Plaid is faster to 60 and costs half as much". These are the tech bros who love cars as one-trick ipads on wheels. It doesn't matter if they're comparing to a handling focused car that's actually fast around a track, a car that can keep up the acceleration north of 120, a classic car, a car that's expensive because it's art on wheels, a car that doesn't need cooling after 3 launches. For these people any car is inferior than their Plaid and its 0-60. So basically a worst version of quarter mile enthusiasts.

I appreciate that you used the image of a Dutch highway at 9:58, one of the best countries for drivers because of their great infrastructure. There's this one video called "The Best Country in the World for Drivers" by Not Just Bikes, which goes much deeper into this. Long story short, their public transport is amazing, and it's faster to go somewhere in your town by bike or just walking rather than taking a car. Only people who actually drive there are the ones who want to and the ones who NEED to.
That is true, now that I drive my own car for pleasure (Saab 900 NG cabriolet) I do enjoy the buttery smooth asphalt of my country. While true, everyone pays quite a hefty bill in order to use it (taxes, road taxes, and did I mention taxes?).
All in all it enables a country to exist where you can have both your functional public transportation and great road infrastructure.
By the way, I had to give this picture a double take, since it is taken near my home town!
People don't seem to realize that good public transport and bike infrastructure makes everybodies lives easier, safer, and less stressful, including the lives of drivers.
Obviously, public transport = Communism, because not private

6:33 "Corvette that's cosplaying as a Civic"
Legendary line
SO TRUE!! All your points are spot on … never stop!!
:/ I never understood the "spec guys' who build fast cars and NEVER take them to a track event and really see what those things can do.
I am partially guilty of being a spec guy but I just adore the mechanics and engineering behind these vehicles, the numbers are part of it but not a big part.
Probably because they don't want to admit that the most important spec in any car on track is the driver.
They are to busy road racing on populated roads and putting other peoples lives in danger just to be a "street racer" and seem cool, and they are the ones who complain when they get pulled over and have to pay the fine for there own stupidity.
They just want the street cred to feed their egos imo
Because the whole point, is not what the car do, but what it can do. When you operate with the numbers, describing your car, you do not need to spend time and money in actual racing.
Honestly it triggers me that pop up headlights we ban for being “unsafe for pedestrians” when chest high Chevy Silverados roam the streets
honestly like it’s not because the pop ups are sharp it’s because we don’t give pedestrians any place to walk so they’re forced to get run over
Head height for kids, those regulations are so stupid
I cannot agree more with the sadboys entry, you delivered all the reasoning you needed to without saying a word
They don’t need an explanation, they just need to be mentioned lol
Im glad you're advocating for public transit and biking infrastructure as a car enthusiast. It really is beneficial for everyone, whether you're a car guy or not
Right? When I came across the public trasnport channels as a car guy I was a bit off put. My first thought was "I like cars so this makes no sense" but after learning about it and not immediately shutting down an idea that I've never learned about I started to get into it. I commute by bike and it's actually wonderful! Getting to work via active transport is really refreshing, even if its kinda cold out. I'm getting my daily movement in everyday, helping the planet, not taking up tons of space on the roads, and since I love pretty close to my workplace anyway it literally makes no sense for me to drive to work so I took up bike commuting.
Honestly, if someone goes through the effort to shove a W16 on a yugo i'd just hand them every fucking argument afterwards because it's that brilliantly stupid and overcomplicated.
I don't know how much of the Yugo would remain in order to fit it lol. 100% the Chassis would snap. By the time you start stretchign and reinforcing it, you'd probably have a "W16 Kit Car" instead of a Yugo, since it deviated too far to be a Yugo at that point (Modifying an OEM Platform AKA Trans/engine/chassis still counts as making that model fast, but once you start changing engines, trans, AND Chassis, it's a different/custom car at that point. Lots of Countries will legally require you to title it as a Kit Car too, since once the Frame is modified, it no longer passes it's original Crash Safety Test.) And once the VIN changes, it's a different car. So the Yugo W16 Dream may never happen. ..but a Yugo V12 Dream still can😂
If an Aventador V12 fits in a Miata, we can get one in the Yugo too!
@@BladedAngel i mean, it fits with the excessive complexity of the W16. The moment you try to shove one of thoose onto anything that it didn't come out of you just have to accept that the next 10 years of your life will be dedicated to engineering and reinforcing a chassis that is probably not gonna be enough either way, ending in a snap at the 4k miles marker to start over again, if gas even exist at that point
The chassis would flex like a bendy ruler
I was once at a drag race and one guy had a Trabant with an INSANE Ford V8 in it. The Chassis and drive train was all custom though.
@@Muhluri flex seal ain't got nothin' on this puppy XD
My top 5 most hated "car guys":
- brand/country elitists
- teenager sadboi culture
- ghetto takeover culture
- "if it's not expensive, it's shit"
- "if it's not fast in a line, it's shit"
don't bring up the brand/country argument, it only leads to the worst
Commenting on the second one you mentioned, I love my Interceptor 650 precisely because of this. Yeah, the dude on the $20k superbike will be fast as hell, but I will enjoy the engine roar, going full throttle on curvy roads much, much more.
I ain't trying to blast triple digits thru intersections then bitch online like, "look at these Karen's pulling out in front me" when they know damn well they aren't giving any1 time to react to them...

Reminds me of an 'argument' I got in with my friend's Brother-In-Law right after I got an STi. -
Him: "Yeah, but my BMW M3 will blow the doors of it once I get it running! It is way faster!"
Me: "No, it isn't, because it isn't running, so my STi is faster."
Him: "No way man, an M3 can destroy an STi."
Me: "But yours can't, because it isn't running."
Him: "No, but I am gonna swap the engine, and [yadda yadda yadda]"
Me: "Fine, and IF you ever do that it may be faster, but right now my car is faster than yours."
Him: "You don't understand"
Me: "No, YOU don't understand. You are talking about other cars being faster than mine. But your car is not. I'll settle this right now, let's go race, just down the end of your driveway."
Him: "I can't do that, my car isn't running."
Me: "therefore my car is faster. My wife's Focus is faster. Hell *I* am faster than your M3."
I will now use this argument when talking to any BMW owner ever.
"bro, my BMW is faster than your miata!"
Nope. In fact, I, the human talking to you, can run faster than your BMW can drive at this moment. Get back to me after the BMW is back from the mechanic.

Imagine having good public transport system in US and Canada. Hell, good bicycle infrastructure would be nice. I genuinely believe that driving enthusiasts in US and Canada should advocate for good and reasonable public transport system, as well as biking infrastructure if we want better traffic flow and a safer driving environment.
I'm a car enthusiast. I don't care about safer, I care about faster. The more cyclists and pedestrians haunt the twisties, the bigger the "just in case" margin we have to leave when we're out there, in terms of both speed and surface width. We should be moving towards a world where everyone just sort of accepts the right-hand shoulder as runoff/gutter-run area, not farther away.
@@ChainsawChuck13 i’m not talking about the twisties dawg, I’m talking about inner city driving. Americans and Canadians have a bad experience with cyclists because we don’t have a good cycling environment. Take a look at Amsterdam in Netherland and tell me you don’t want to at least try to implement that in the US, because that means we keep all the cyclists out of the mountains (except for off road mountain bikers) and concentrate them in the cities. The rest of the mountain roads belong to us.
Then we have the issue with crime on public transit.. I'm all for it though. Drive all the rats out with massive taxes like Detroit is doing
I've loved cars since forever and even I commute by bike. Commuting by bike is really fun IMO. Also giving people who don't give a damn about cars and driving an alternative just benefit everyone and I cannot believe people don't advocate for it.
It's sad, I've gotten so accustomed to being portrayed as the bad guy for commuting on a bicycle (even by car people), that hearing your little rant against those drivers actually took me by surprise. Instead of being berated or threatened or even being pushed into the ditch, a decently big name is taking a different view
I always sided with them, but rarely get a chance to mention it much. I think this is my 3rd time defending them. "Signs you're a Bad Driver" i also berated Car Guys for punishment passing them as well as, "Stupid things College Car Guys Do" where I say cyclists and skateboarders matter too.
Also you're definitely not the bad guy, your mere existence just threatens the fragile egos of those shocked another option exists than cars. The rest of the world uses 2 wheels, be it motorized, electric, or pedal powered, there is nothing wrong with cycling if you follow all road laws. Stay safe bro.
@@BladedAngel Especially when you realize that with fewer cars on the road, fewer restrictions and regulations are necessary, allowing cars to be lighter, more powerful, better looking, a LOT faster, and with no requirements for being practical because public transportation is practical enough. A world with both roads and plentiful public transportation would be a car guy’s paradise.

I ride a 20HP Royal Enfield these days anyway. I stopped caring about speed bout a year ago.

I love cars, too and I often use my bicycle. Like you said, city driving sucks and it only takes one dumb driver to crash into my car and ruin it, so I´m happy If I don´t have to get my car into that. Also using a car for short rides is bad for my engine, because it cant heat up properly.

another thing to add with swapping engines. if you buy a vehicle with an engine swap done already, it can be worth it to swap it again if you wanna revert to stock or the old engine is comically bad for what you got the car for. I have an 88' Ramcharger with an engine swap from a dodge dart 318 drag car project that fell through, it is bored out and gets horrible gas mileage so I am swapping it to a fuel injected 318 so it is more true to the stock config of that year.

I'm glad that you mentioned terminally car brained. You can be both a car enthusiast and not wanting to be car dependent at the same time.
When I took a trip overseas I had lots of friendly interactions with people cuz you don't need a car to get around in Europe. That's one of my favorite aspects of human-centric transportation is you get to meet people and chat with others. You never know who you're gonna come across, you could make a new friend or meet someone with a good business venture/skill that you need. Car dependency isolates society and its depressing

Or you can just learn how to drive. Having more city buses would make shit way worse
@@xL0stKIlah rather have one large city bus or 10 SUVs with lunatics behind the wheel
@@xL0stKIlah I drive just fine lol even the police said the other party was at fault. And yeah I'd rather have 5 more buses than 30 people who think that illegally merging in front highway speed traffic is a good idea. Also buses aren't the only type of public transit
I'm a 16 year old car enthusiast
and I sincerely hope that slow but genuinely fun to drive cars, like miatas, kei-cars, old school roadsters, GTIs and more, will never die.
Toxic Bladed is best Bladed!! Seriously, I haven’t laugh that hard for a while; the part of the Engine swap freaks was just straight up HILARIOUS 🤣 But seriously, I can’t believe there are people who would use this argument on a debate on which car is better! To me when you Engine swap, you are creating a different car, because it has a different engine that doesn’t belong to the brand, for example if you decided to swapped an EK9 Civic B16B engine with a 4G63T from an EVO, you are creating a new car; sure the bodywork is still from Honda, but the engine is from Mitsubishi, for me that’s a total different car, because the engine acts differently from what you expect from a Honda. What do I expect from a Honda: A fun high-revving car that you can thrash around corners, not some hardcore road going rally car. Sorry for my little rambling Bladed, but anyways, thanks for making my day!
the only time I "condone" swapping is when its a classic car. when those parts finally die sometimes it's easier to find a modern engine rather than scour the earth for an original engine to replace it.
i love how bladed angel showed a dutch road (one of the best countries for public transport) and compared it to a american road (america has really bad public transport) good way to prove your point bladed
4:21 We exist! I’m 21 and I adore classics above all else! Hell, most of my dream cars are nearly three times as old as I am…
the yugo W16 part is very funny !
Thanks for the public transport and bike stuff. Needed to be said.
Also, if you really like the feeling of going fast (as most car guys do), try riding a bike instead of a car through a congested city. You can actually get a sense of speed that way. It sometimes is just the better option.
7:09 I had this debate. Was about some guy trying to swap an Si engine with a Type-R engine like a discount type r, just get the full car lol. There's far more to a car than just it's engine and HP, it's missing suspensions, wheels, brakes, transmission, ect. It'd cost more trying to swap everything. Swapping engines is fine, just don't be something you're not (like upbadging) or shit on stock.
6:30 favorite part of the episode, loved watching the whole thing and the rants
Yeah the engine swap is probably my favorite one to make fun of if it's to that extent, personally if you want your Volvo to sound like a V8 from the 60's, go all out on it. If it's for a reason that is just creating or doing something you yourself want to have in the car for yourself then that's in my opinion fine by all means. Bragging though? Nah that's the point where it's just petty and lame if it's just for personal fun and that then go ahead.
Yea, the engine swap one - the claimants haven't even had the "pleasure" of matching everything, from adapter plates to custom drive shafts and mounting systems, and hammering the engine compartment to make room so it fits. And most of their swap BS is so big that they may as well just slap a saddle onto the engine/transmission because that's what the car body's gonna be once that swap is done! Of course, then they'd need the skills to keep the rubber on the wheels (instead of turning into magic smoke & shrapnel) when they tromped on the gas pedal. So divorced from reality I have to "whatever" them.
That's right 👍 Straight facts Bladed Angel. Keep it coming with the raw info.
I love every form of public transit, what makes me sad is the american culture that rejects this with a firing fury, granted cars will always have a place in my heart, but we are in desperate need of trains
I'm in the same situation as you, a car guy who advocates for better public transportation and more walkable cities. I think the biggest problem is that people here(US and Canada) can't comprehend living without a car because they've never been anywhere with good public transportation so they couldn't imagine living without a car without their existence being horrible.
As a train enthusiast, yes, please bring in more trains.
Thank you for talking about car brained (cagers). Pedestrians and cyclists are indeed squishy but make the roads clearer for us to drive! I get so annoyed with drivers that do obnoxious things I’m on bicycle
We must support the bladed movement the movement of blade we must cut through the shit show that is the car community and the forza comment had me dead its so true
i play forza, but im not like "OmG bRo AvEnTAdor V12 All THe WAYYY bRO, Its SOooOoOOOoo OOPPp"
my only issue with public transit is that most of the time they are disgusting and you vant have peace on it
2:28 i just realized that spongebobs eyes have faces on them
Now I can’t unsee it
The Affirm section got me.
I know a guy who had this affliction SO badly it destroyed his marriage and he ended up remortgaging his house to pay off the horrendous debt.
So much yes on public transportation.

Shhhhhhh, don't tell them about Koenigsegg, let them find out by themselves.
Hey bladed, CGP grey made a great video about cities in Europe vs North America. Long story short, Europe’s cities have been around longer, and they’ve developed with walking distances in mind, from one town to another because there was few mode of transportation millennia ago; but cities in North America, began developing no more than 200ish years ago, and we’ve had vehicles for 1/2 that time. So they developed at the same rate as automobiles were being brought to the mass market (in terms of modern infrastructure). It was basically ‘get a car, or you’ll be jobless, homeless’ etc. North America was built around cars, Europe was built around walking. Not to talk about the billions that are lobbied to prevent public transportation. Sad reality but that’s how it is :/
the thing with swapping the engine on a car is, will that car be ABLE TO PUT DOWN THE POWER that it provides. You can't go fast if you don't have any traction. And as I know if you have too much power and drive fast, the chassis could actually bend
And data guys can be damn annoying. Idc if my Saab is slow, I just like the styling. I want an old 900 Turbo with Turbo lag. I'm not looking to go 200mph, I'm looking for a fun car to drive in the city which is where old-school turbos come into play. It may have about 130HP or 180HP (Depending on years) but once the turbo kicks in it'll be hella fun. I'd rather buy a car to cruise than one that would feel like I could die in at any second.
BRUH I CAN'T. STOP THIS IS KILLING ME🤣🤣🤣 oddly enough you just summarised my whole classmates. AND THANK YOU i don't get why people just don't love old cars. Morris minor, beetle,impala,and sooo sooo on.
Bruh you got my sub. This is good.
No joke yugo is great car to modify as a race car:
Cheap
Lighter then a seat from new Maybach
Ez to work on
the people that treat cars as the only transport is a interesting one. here in the UK, public transport is s**t. trains are late, buses are late, nothing runs on time. so if you want a dependable, easy transport, cars are the only way. however, if public transport wasn't so s**t, then people who see it's easier to commute by train then car would do it. so it is pretty dependant on how good said public transport is. and then there's bicycles and motorbikes, which people are too lazy to use
Other TERRIBLE type of car guys is the guy that only looks acceleration and top speed.
Ex: In a video a modded Supra wins against a F1 car, there will be that annoying car guy who will say
"HaHa LoOk At ThAt F1, lOsT tO tHe 1000 Hp SuPrA"
But don't remember that speed isn't the only thing.
That hipothetical f1 car whould smoke the 1000 hp Supra on the first corner.
Yeah we need to show them the real classic NFS games but the ones from the 90s to 2002 including hot pursuit 2 and how they were well received.
Heyyy c'mon man we're out here 🥲
I'm still in Highschool and I've got a 76 Citroen 2cv. And man it brings a smile to my face just to look at it. Who cares if I have 29 horses anyways 🤣. Love your videos man, and I'll be sure to bring the S-car-go around to meets in Atl.

I'm from Minnesota and Minneapolis has an amazing system of public transportation, their light rail system goes to a lot of major areas of the city and is still expanding and all the bus routes have stops at the light rail stations since they are owned by the same company/the city which helps with traffic in the downtown areas
In my opinion swapping a car ruins it completely it doesn't fit the same nor does it sit and feel that same and there's always something going wrong something breaking with it
it depends. Some older vehicles have obnoxiously slow engines.
@@Xander1Sheridan sometimes that’s fun though, absolutely strangling an engine to get every las bit out of it.
5:30 a jet engine swapped car or “GT engine” would suck tbh. The turbine takes forever to spool and is only good for the way they’re used in military EVs as generators
10:08 to add to that we tend to have a smaller community here too is the thing and so every day on my bike to school...*BEEP BEEP BEEP* "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROAD"... I was at a crosswalk with the right of way, or *BEEP SKRRRRRRRR* "DONT WALK OUT IN THE ROAD ASSHOLE" as I proceded to be nearly hit by... guess what... Porsche Cayenne being driven by a white lady in her like 70s.
Damn it's painful to imagine it, but it's even more painful to experience it😔
I hope you're not hit or anything, it's been 2 years

Who remembered that Renault Twingo with a literal jet engine swap?
To be fair, if someone did try to argue that Twingo is the best car, I'd probably concede.
But then the exception always proves the rule right?
So you're still right.
BTW I'm fully aware that a good 99% of people reading this will be too young to remember the jet powered Twingo, and will frantically Google it now (I'm jealous of the feeling you're about to get), but while you're googling it - they also made a Renault Espace with an F2 engine in it which is pretty much as epic as the Twingo!
Yes, a 80's Renault Espace with an F1 engine. I'm not joking.
I think anyone who's played Gran Turismo 2 remembers the Espace F1 fondly.
There's also a company who made a few widebody V8-powered Twingos a while back. Those things are nuts!
You ROASTED THEM CLOWNS! How do you come up with these roasts?? Gawd dang. Deadass moment. 🤣 😂
how many of these are you gonna make
Prolly just this one. I want to start setting other things on fire in the community.
@@BladedAngel ok
As a 19 y.o. i can say that i like older(70-90s mostly) cars sice i can remember myself
I wonder if bladed is going to hate me for my sleeper e36 325i with a 3.0L gt35r build.
I’m not against people that cycle, but I am against the cyclists that take up a full lane. I actually bike a lot when I live in cities that have a good setups for it but serious cyclists are douchebags that seem to be trying to get hit.
I meet way more bad drivers than bad cyclists. Sure it sucks being stuck behind a slow cyclist, but it's not worth killing them or putting their life in danger for a few seconds of convenience. We only remember cyclists being "Stupid" simply because we see so few, so every instance stands out. We see so many bad drivers, we forget how much they suck, but I keep count...each day, at least 9 Altimas cut me off. Maybe once a month, I get stuck behind cyclists. Compared to me dying almost daily from BIG ALTIMA ENERGY🤣
@@BladedAngel man you’re lucky; most of the bad drivers I’ve experienced have been teslas in my area; when I lived in Columbus I had multiple Maserati drivers almost hit me while I was in crosswalks.
Living in Philadelphia. I felt this whole video in my soul. The car scene here isn't huge but trust me that makes it worse. And def the ending guys is everyone here.

I do hate driving majority of the time because of other idiots in their cars. However, I enjoy driving itself and im incrdibly fascinated with cars. I also understand the rules of the road and the safety of others on bikes and such. I would never put anyone else life at risk for the sole purpose of being miserable. I hate the people who get mad at cyclists and scooterist. I want everyone to feel safe on the road. I love the videos man keep up the great work!
