    Autotempest is pretty great, not gonna lie. Saved me a lot of time.
  • @Scootworth
    BABE WAKE UP NEW ROAD TRIP WE ARE SO BACK
  • @jjraccoon3246
    love how the rx8 is in pretty good condition and doesn't hurt to look at, and the eclipse is just a vile, loud, beast
  • @AssassinMan308
    Had a lot of late nights with the homies fixing broken cars but starting at 2am is another level. The tuner and his homies are the mvp. Great ending waiting for EP 2!
  • @vertvlogs675
    These videos are insane. Not just the unrelenting dedication (when did you sleep during the DSM debacle!?). But also the editing. The music, vibes, jokes, etc. This is legitimately filling the void left for me by the original Top Gear trio. I wish both of you (Ben and Ben) the best, and hope you guys continue to make videos for all of us in the future.
  • @Duckferd
    Those guys went out of their way to fix Ben's clapped out Eclipse at 2AM, getting a head on and engine started in 5 hours just so they can continue on their self-inflicted-pain of a youtube roadtrip special. I'm actually speechless. I don't know how I would even thank them in that scenario (other than with a large amount of cash).
  • I bought a 88 gmc Sierra 1500 for $750. in Oregon this last December. I spent $18 on a coolant temp sensor. Hooked up the tps sensor that was installed incorrectly by the previous owner. Ran perfect after that. Drove it for a week, then decided to drive it cross country from Oregon to north Carolina, with $600 in my pocket. Got 15-16 mpg all the way across. Slept in the camper shell that came with the truck. Ate terrible truck stop food. Arrived for Christmas with my family in 5 days with about $80 left. Done a ton of those type of trips over the years. Get out n have fun folks.

    As a longtime DSM owner the #1 thing I can tell you is ALWAYS change the timing belt no matter what the previous owner tells you bc people have a very bad habit of doing things wrong on these cars
  • @Thatslow_B6
    That’s so cool that Ken did all that. He’s in a local NC group and I’ve talked to him a few times!
  • @rebuiltofficial
    Yes! Another road trip series. The camera work and editing work you guys do is just amazing. G&G is my comfort show
  • @dirkdaring748
    Thanks Autotempest for helping to fund adventures like this.
  • @billyrowe0064
    I can hear the ending now. "It is about the cars you drive, but more importantly it is also about the journey with your friends."
  • @athens9867
    The person that designed the exterior of the RX-8 is underrated
  • @phenomkrumper
    Totally awesome seeing this two JDM golden era icons rolling cross country on road trip! Super inspirational and relatable. Cant wait to see the next episode, subscribed!..
  • @ryaninwa5375
    "well, the Eclipse is no longer loud" made me spit my drink out of my nose.
  • @JWheelie
    These road trip videos FIRE ME UP! I love that you include the mpg and all small details
  • @salecon
