My Pregnant Wife Rides in the Racecar for the First Time
Переглядів 2722 роки тому
As you can tell by her reaction, I think she has gotten too used to riding right seat with me these past 7 years 😂. I did get a giggle out if her though. Those lateral g forces will do it. The best parts hands down, was her exiting the car though. And no, I didn’t push the limits with my pregnant wife and unborn child in the car.

Saab 9-3 Turbo X review. When talking about midsize sport sedans do usual suspects like Audi Mercedes and BMW are often brought up. In this video we take a look at a very cool alternative to the main three. With only 2000 examples worldwide and 600 in the states, there’s a very slim chance you will ever see one of these.!

¡HOLA! Today we are going on a spirited drive on the coast. Not much blabbering in this one, just driving! I do apologize for the shaky camera and over-exposed footage.

Open Me ¡HOLA! Today we are going to Spirit Peaks Raceway in Toutle, WA with the F Body Camaro drift car.

IT'S AN ENGINE BRO, NOT A MOTOR !! It's very simple to remember....... • Engines converts many different forms of combustible fuels to mechanical Force/Energy. • Motors convert Electrical Energy to Mechanical Force/Energy.
I’m getting my Saab aero v6 2.8 turbo hirsch next week can’t wait!
Without the strut issue, you'd have shown a hard, good, run.
Great!!
Yeah, future NC3 2.5 upgrade. Sod EV, mate!
You Miata guys a little Late on this swap. We in the Focus Community been doing this for almost 12 years.
Your videos are good! If you had more videos like a weekly vlog you would get more people 😊
Around 1980, I bought a 1973 Midget as my driving to work car. The last model before the bumper laws went into effect. Loved that car. These little cars are the most fun you can have in a car going 45 mph. If you decide to get one, I would suggest these improvements: do a front disc brake conversion; invest in an electronic ignition system. You'll thank me every time you are caught in the rain. Have a professional tune the carburetors, someone that REALLY knows how to do it. Install a horn loud enough to overwhelm a police siren. In a car this little, and the standard size of an American SUV, if you have need to blow your horn, you REALLY want to get the other guy's attention NOW. The standard horn won't do that.
0. Dont Speed
Here's what you can say that hasn't been said much about an MX5, and seems to be missed by almost all reviewers on YT, IT'S NOT A FREAKIN Miata. Mazda dropped the name "Miata" back in the early 2000's, so why do people still incorrectly call it a Miata, which is a horrible girlie name. And I agree with you, "Girl car my ass"! It was NEVER called a Miata in Europe or Asia. It's actually called the Roadster, which is the foundational premise of the car. So the one thing you can say that isn't said very much about the MX5, is that it is no longer called a Miata. Spread the news... Enjoyed the humorous comments, like the factory lift kit... Lol. Cheers. Good vid.

Had no idea the 450 sounded that good !! The crackles 🤤🤤🤤
I had a same car. I miss it.
I love my BRG 1969 Sprite! Everytime I drive it I'm giddy like a 10 year old girl at a Taylor Swift concert.
Had one back in the early '70's; BRG , black interior/black top. No mention of the fact that the windshield was so short it required 3 windshield wipers as it wasn't tall enough for only 2. One of my favorite memories is one summer night when I was driving down LSD (Lake Shore Drive for non-Chicagoans) and a guy pulled up alongside us in an XKE and passed my girlfriend a joint.
Brought a 2011 kendo, love it. Made many small changes already, makeing it mine. Nice review. Liked and subscribed. John😮
The exhaust note is the only music you need in a British sports car.
This dude is cool.
Words can't describe how much I want one. I absolutely love fast sedans. And this Saab has to be the coolest out there. The design is so manly and somehow sinister. The build quality is great. The engine and drivetrain is superb. It is so hard to find a bad thing about this car. It is a car for people who actually understand cars. The German cars are very good (M3, S4, C63) but this Saab makes them all look ordinary and boring.
I'm not much into car racing, but I AM into not getting speeding tickets, and I really like the cadence of this video along with the strategic use of memes. I would love to see more "educational"-like videos like this one, if you'd be up to making them. :-)
Use a Romulan Cloaking Device, aka a good, discreetly mounted radar jammer.
If you drive like you make videos, you drive ARROGANTLY.
I also watch for brake lights ahead, natural reaction to hit brakes when you see a road pirate
It's usually easy to spot an airplane timing cars. Look for a relatively low plane making loops around a section of road ahead of you. You should be able to see them a mile or two ahead of you clearly following the road but maybe off to the side. You will also spot painted markings across the road. The plane times you going from one painted mark to the next one. They are a specific distance apart and a stopwatch will tell the plane your speed.
I could sell My XWD. 200 kW, ,sportscav abd silver . 12000. 😊
Long time SAAB BMW guy here, current LR Viggen 5dr thanks for this. I also love playing with the cartoon filters in my videos!
Bought a 2007 nc prht 6 speed and absolutely love it. Great video , thanks. O by the way I thought you were Brad Pitt.
I had one for 5 years, i hated the 2.8 v6 it is a lazy slow reving engine...and the car felt slow.
Great Video man, This may be a stupid question but I am pretty new on this, can I use a 2.5 engine that came from an automatic donor if my mx5 is manual or it does not matter? I was thinking about doing the same swap, but most of the good car donors I find are auto.
I bought 1 about 5 month ago low mileage 50k miles I love the driving experience Only 120 made for Canada 🇨🇦
Hmmm, Tesla or Mercedes 280? What's a Tesla again? Absolutely beautiful car, the Mercedes.
I am the proud owner of a 2015 PRHT. I have spent $3,000 on the suspension, b/c I felt it drove like my mother’s Buick! It now holds the line and drives like a dream! Unfortunately, she recently blew her head gasket to the tune of $1,600🤮! I bought her as a retirement gift to myself.
He comes off as very biased even before the drive
@PetrolHead1 care to share where you sourced the replacement of the ashtray bro?
Great car, bought myself a 2009 model Turbo X so I'm one the privileged 2K worldwide of which only 14 made it to South Africa.
I found a 2007 e550 fully loaded bone stock for 7900 at a dealer with 90k miles no accidents 2 owners with no check engine lights or nothing interior is great and the outside too is it a good deal I’ve driven the e500 before is there a difference?
Do you have a version that is not air suspension?
Do you have a version that is not air suspension?
had one for 12 years!
Just got a 2007 MX-5 NC with rod knock. So where do I find out the definitive swap details from 2.0 to 2.5? Also how is the MPG after swapping to the 2.5? What years for the Fusion match with the 2006-15 Miata?
There is nothing like driving one its really almost undescribable.

We need more
How much HP can this bad boy handle without selling my kidney? Looks like nice base to build a daily sleeper.
intercooler,550cc injectors or bigger, 3 inch full exhaust and e85 and you should be making around 380-400hp but with the regular saab aero v6 you need the 19t turbo that this turbo x came with from factory
the engine can handle allot of power. prolific builds have one that was making around 500+hp with no issuse
Question is the extra noise coming from the exhaust or does the engine under the hood just make more noise? Just asking because I don't want a head ache on a long drive..
This had a header as well as a full exhaust. You’re likely hearing that noise coupled with slight rubbing of the header on the firewall that was later corrected.
Are the headrests original? Would prefer one with headrests but all the ones I have seen don’t have them.. great video.
I've got a 98 z28. How did you modify the pedals for heel/toe? Which Sparco seat and seat mounts are you using?
Had a '69 sprite many, many years ago. This video is dead-on accurate!
My biggest regret was selling my Turbo X Sportscombi years ago when we had our kids. My favorite Saab.
