That would be Mythbusters. :) Jato rocket car. Like them, this guy is throwing down the gauntlet for everyone out there with creativity and passion to make their own unique world.
i like Jason's voice. when he speaks, he just seems to be having fun doing it and has so much enthusiasm. No offense Jason but almost like a Muppet, in a good way.
Those rear coil overs aren't compressing as they should, much of the "spring" seems to be in the bodywork around the spring mount. you can see the panels flexing at 5:09
That guy is an artist. When the episode started I was thinking we were going to meet a crackpot. But he seems sane and super creative. I mean Baron but same goes for Torch 😋
I'm amazed that EVERYTHING can get a licence plate in the US :DD while in my country little modifications can be a no from the ministry of transportation
+Bracci Yup! Ratrods and cars like these are totally legal, while Skylines and such are not, unless they're 25 years or older. Quite an ass backwards system we have here.
How do you get a contraption like this authorized for road use? Does it have to adhere to all modern safety and emission regulations? Is there a prototype / small series clause that makes it exempt for normal regulations? Where do you get an insurance?
Los Angeles is Los Santos in GTA, specifically in GTA V. This man, I think, is the inspiration behind the guy in GTA V who is obsessed in Alien stuffs. I can also see the resemblance in terms of their looks! Wow!
Just being pedantic here, but most of the controls like the throttle, shifter, and clutch weren't *lengthened*, they were *shortened*. You're sitting closer to the engine, not farther from it.
I'm impressed that it was able to pass a Roadworthy.... either he is a very good builder... or more likly the US has very lax laws when it comes to what can and can't drive on th road
You mentioned at the beginning of the video, by the year 2000 everyone was going to have a cow robot. Well, nobody told me that my princess robot was going to turn into a lazy cow robot with half dead batteries!!!
this reminded me of Mad Max movie,not sure I liked this episode,i took a nap,woke up when it finished,lol,,how can he register this vehicle,what make and model?,who would insure it?
That metal fin holding the windshield would make for a gruesome death, if someone got into an accident in that car. Also, I was disappointed by the clickbaity title. This not a rocket car, as it is comprises of zero rockets.
didnt this appear in an episode of Storage Hunters ? like they claim the owner would have left in in a storage unit.... the owner looks like the type of guy that never lets anything go.
It has a diesel-/atom-punk feel to it. I like the look of it. Not so sure about the fact that its not actually rocket powered like Jay Leno's jet engine super car. Imagine one of those jets in one of these babies.
With all regulations, test requirements and making sure these differ from other parts of the world by the US car legal systems, with insurance companies being nit-picky, and stories about the US DMV - how can this be put on the road (as al other "custom built" cars)?
"Your constantly caressing this tiny metal mans head every time you shift. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, more cars need something like that" -Torch .. I don't know what else to say
The title should probably mention that it is not really a rocket car, but maybe that's just me.... It is kinda like those guys who put Ferarri badges on their Pontiac Fiero, not really a Ferarri....
*See's High Voltage sign on door. Touches the metal*
+Dolphino Egglet *Sees fruit in hole of tree, reaches in and grabs it- won't let go as you walk up to it and kill it*
+HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP
What?
HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP ok
The man who made this car is everyones dream uncle.
Dang, who stole that from Jimmy Neutron?
I was expecting it to actually be rocket powered...
Yeah fuck this bullshit.
@@KandiKlover Yeah, your whole life is ruined.
That would be Mythbusters. :) Jato rocket car. Like them, this guy is throwing down the gauntlet for everyone out there with creativity and passion to make their own unique world.
This should have been the future.
+Jalopnik link the guys website in the discription www.baronmargo.com/
+Jalopnik And this is street legal ?
+Save the Rhino Yes completely street legal
+jenjen68 No, it isn't. Just off the top of my head, CVC 27600 requires fenders over the rear tires.
+Jalopnik should have put the guy's website url in the description. 'jason drives' is awesome!
I now know where Gru from Despicable Me got his car from. ;)
+banpeinet lol
w
shut up
aaawwww sowwy baby
+A&W Cream Soda shut your procrastinating dumbass.
Aesthetics on this car are amazing....I love it. So cool.
yeah especially the bottlecaps
i like Jason's voice. when he speaks, he just seems to be having fun doing it and has so much enthusiasm. No offense Jason but almost like a Muppet, in a good way.
What would the cops say if you got pulled over...?
+paps511 That car is amazing let me take a photo...
What? if you where a cop you'd do that.
+paps511 They pull him over ALL the time...to take pics
+paps511 "Damn you look stupid!"
"Sir, you're going 300 miles over the speed limit."
Those rear coil overs aren't compressing as they should, much of the "spring" seems to be in the bodywork around the spring mount. you can see the panels flexing at 5:09
WOW!!! AMAZING ROCKET CAR!!! I GIVE A THOUSAND STAR FOR THE BUILDER!!!
You should put his info in the description
I nearly just spit out my coffee laughing when he mentioned the gearshift handle!
That guy is an artist. When the episode started I was thinking we were going to meet a crackpot. But he seems sane and super creative. I mean Baron but same goes for Torch 😋
Yes. This is success. Jalopnik needs moar Torch.
Jason has fallen through a hole into what William Gibson called 'The Gernsback Continuum' - which is where these spectacular vehicles hail from.
that face splitter supporting the windshield makes me nervous.
one of them looks like the one offstorage hunters
+elliot eadie Yeah I saw that episode on Dave today, then I just saw this car on here wtf lol
+elliot eadie Yes 'twas on storage hunters...Reality shows aren't REAL
+jenjen68 Good eye Elliot
+9freelandk same mate I am trippin😀
Yes, exact same. Damn storage hunters ua-cam.com/video/A9ltHL4OjRU/v-deo.html
Super cool works of art!
I'm amazed that EVERYTHING can get a licence plate in the US :DD while in my country little modifications can be a no from the ministry of transportation
+Bracci Yup! Ratrods and cars like these are totally legal, while Skylines and such are not, unless they're 25 years or older. Quite an ass backwards system we have here.
+WuWizards Haha i own a skyline :P Glad i don't live in america?
Love the designs, but I would have at least wanted a turbine engine.
Aren't you a bit bothered by the face cleaver holding up the windshield? Seems like one fast stop and you'd be the man with two faces!
Looks like something from Wacky Races =P
I want to know what the car in front of him is at 3:55 - that's pretty futuristic looking too.
That windshield partition pillar reminds me some **Final_destination** shit..😂..!! It could slice a head like fuckin watermelon.
a real artist :)
DAT negative camber in the rear.
This video definitely needs more views.
This guy is my hero.
How do you get a contraption like this authorized for road use? Does it have to adhere to all modern safety and emission regulations? Is there a prototype / small series clause that makes it exempt for normal regulations? Where do you get an insurance?

love this series
So awesome Torch!
I'm thinking you accidentally side-stepped into the Fallout parallel universe there. Fantastic creations.
Just being pedantic here, but most of the controls like the throttle, shifter, and clutch weren't *lengthened*, they were *shortened*. You're sitting closer to the engine, not farther from it.
I can't understand the website he is taking about at 8:20. Can anybody help me?! THX
I think Baronmargo.com
I'm impressed that it was able to pass a Roadworthy.... either he is a very good builder... or more likly the US has very lax laws when it comes to what can and can't drive on th road
It amazes me that those are legal to drive
The engine is probably so old it doesnt need smog
it reminds me of that ailen guy from GTA V with that rocket buggy he had
That laugh when he said he has a website lol
Real life hotwheels that's what it is
Jason you should try and jump the grand canyon in that thing, good luck, may the force be with you .
awesome video
You mentioned at the beginning of the video, by the year 2000 everyone was going to have a cow robot. Well, nobody told me that my princess robot was going to turn into a lazy cow robot with half dead batteries!!!
I like how you think that you could totally get with the empress of Mars.
You guys are in Griffith Park! cool ha
The shots in that guys place look like the pages in those I SPY books I read as a kid.
Even his house is frckn amazing
Wasn't the car's creator on American Pickers before?
this reminded me of Mad Max movie,not sure I liked this episode,i took a nap,woke up when it finished,lol,,how can he register this vehicle,what make and model?,who would insure it?
I love his 24 hours of Lemons shirt, I proudly own one too :)
That steering wheel is legit!
Was this on Storage Hunters?
rare pepe @ 1:25
shit.. nobody told you?
Omfg
Lol
Amazing!
wasnt this on storage hunters?
this car was at the LA auto show it so sick
THAT IS AWESOME
awesome steel blade supporting the windshield. nice sword in an accident
Imagine a car chase in this
"All units we have a chase in pursuit. It's a...a... it's a rocket car"
that windshield looks dangerous lol, hope its made like the glass on manufactured cars
Does the rocket work?
That metal fin holding the windshield would make for a gruesome death, if someone got into an accident in that car.
Also, I was disappointed by the clickbaity title. This not a rocket car, as it is comprises of zero rockets.
how much for to build one...?
Is it just me or does he sound like Shaggy....
Was this car on storage hunters?
+Mayur Patel Yes rented
Needs a After Burner to be a real Rocket car. Make it happen.
The front of that car kinda looks like the front of the car from the Cat in the Hat movie
Well now I know why I saw a silver submarine driving in LA a few years ago.
"Car is the wrong word for this...". Yes, "piece of shit" is what he was looking for there.
Cool
didnt this appear in an episode of Storage Hunters ? like they claim the owner would have left in in a storage unit.... the owner looks like the type of guy that never lets anything go.
I REALY LIKE YOUR T SHIRT, 24hr LeMONS!!! YEAH!
It has a diesel-/atom-punk feel to it. I like the look of it. Not so sure about the fact that its not actually rocket powered like Jay Leno's jet engine super car. Imagine one of those jets in one of these babies.
Gotta blast!
this was on storage hunters
Forward to the past? Or visa versa... Because the speedometer suspiciously "not working"....
looks like my miata.
Il Tempo Gigante! Flåklypa Grand Prix!
This looks like the Car you bought from the advertisement from heavy metal magazine.
steampunk
Alex Hemopo agreed!
With all regulations, test requirements and making sure these differ from other parts of the world by the US car legal systems, with insurance companies being nit-picky, and stories about the US DMV - how can this be put on the road (as al other "custom built" cars)?
Were I a millionaire, that rocket car would be MINE!!! It is 100% mad & I LIKE IT!!!
That car was on storage hunters
danpotter2001 yeah, i seen that!
this thing is fucking awesome!
i saw this car in a storage bin in storage hunters
He really likes the metal man's head.
The steering wheel alone is amazing. He could make copies to sell and make alot$$$$
Are you sure owners name isn't Gru ???
I was thinking Jimmy Neutron.
awesome :D
"Your constantly caressing this tiny metal mans head every time you shift. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, more cars need something like that" -Torch .. I don't know what else to say
OMG, i could smoke weed and bs with that dude for days while looking at all his cool collectibles!
Don't hit a bump or that windshield divider will cut you in half
this guy sounds like seth green but much older
I think I saw in some TV show on history Channel
anyone from the UK will know that his house looks like botany bay
The title should probably mention that it is not really a rocket car, but maybe that's just me....
It is kinda like those guys who put Ferarri badges on their Pontiac Fiero, not really a Ferarri....
dang i need one
It reflects too much light on a sunny day
that is the exact same car that was found in a storage bin on storage hunters😂
+Kasam S Ya cuz reality shows ARE NOT real! They rented his car to be "discovered" Duh duh dunnnn
