Escaping a Flash Flood in our Toyota AE86 and GTI // Road to Enlightenment Ep.2

Again, we're totally blown away by your comments. This was a real adventure for us, and it's awesome so many of you are coming along for the ride. Episode 3 is hopefully going to be just as epic! And of course, this whole journey wouldn't have been possible without the support of Autotempest. So go to this link, peruse a ton of used car sites, and show them some love! www.autotempest.com/?utm_source=throttlehouse&utm_…

I believe schnitz and toe foo already had more offroad time than most of the wrangler sold in the US 😂

$36k CAD for a beams swapped AE86 with watanabes is still an outrageously amazing deal. Im calling cap on that, I think James spent even more lmao

This series perfectly fills the void in my heart top gear specials left behind. The chemistry, the cinematography, the pacing, the challenge and most importantly the cars. I completely forgot I was on Youtube for almost an hour and rather watching something produced by Amazon prime or Netflix. Hope to see more adventures like this in future!

Shoutout Harrison, the real MVP. Delivering great audio quality and car electronics diagnosting.

50k for a broken Japanese tofu hatchback? James: yeah sure it’s alright

Absolutely loving this series. Some of the best stuff on youtube

If someone had asked me what it would take to create a successful “road trip special” in the mold of the original Top Gear, I would have said they’d need extremely creative writers, extraordinary on-camera personalities and chemistry, and stunning production. Even with all that, they’d still need some mysterious extra magic element to really make it work… Well, the Throttle House crew didn’t bother to ask me. They were too busy making this outstanding content. Absolutely perfect!

Throttle House has now officially become the benchmark for all other automotive review media, hands down. The journey, the story, the cinematography, the editing. Absolute perfection!

I don't think we need to call this "Top Gear Vibes". From now on, all future videos will give Throttle House vibes, you are the kings now 👑

I definitely want to see a sequel to this where you guys upgrade/ restore these cars and do a Canadian road trip in the summer weather.

This has old Top Gear vibe that I love, except it's US road trip and it's free to watch.

As someone who doesn’t comment a lot on YouTube, I’m writing this half an hour after watching since I just can’t get my head around how great this video and series is. It hits very close to when OG Top Gear was at their best, but without feeling to scripted or cringy. This is an absolute masterpiece and I can not wait for the next episode. Thank you!

The chemistry, the drama, the cinematography, the sound design. It's all beautiful

how am i just seeing this. how did this not BLOW THE F UP! such a great special. loved it.

“We go fast along and long together” On my PlayStation and Steering Wheel, I would drive my favorite cars featured in car and driver and then mimic their experiences. Then, at a young age, would mail my writing to car and driver. Years later, I started writing car articles and counseling young military members on the importance of credit, interest rates and living in your means. You’re channel is a reminder of following dreams, doing what you love, never looking back, and why not? I’ve been watching your channel, thinking of applying to automotive journalist companies, and decided today - I will - but might make my own. I can’t wait for your production to get to the level of peak cinematography. Proud of you two knuckleheads.

The in between animations on the route are beautifully made

I love that this series is being released simultaneously as gears and gasoline’s kei car road trip

I love how the delirium kicks in after exhaustion and how hard Thomas was laughing at James' car. Almost like a Big Brother teasing a little brother while having the time of their lives.

Voiceover: The peace and serenity of that beautiful Sedona morning, was shattered by the bellow of a wild animal Thomas: "IT WAS HOW MUCH?!"
