Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe narrator travels from Utah to Florida to surprise his girlfriend, Sophia, with her dream car: a highly modified, single-turbo Mazda RX-7 (FD). The experience evolves from a romantic surprise into a deep dive into high-performance car culture, featuring cinematic drives through Orlando and technical insights into the maintenance of rotary engines.
Well, today's video has been a long time in the making.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel.
Welcome back to the vlog.
Today, we're headed off to Orlando, Florida.
We are buying my girlfriend, Sophia, her dream car.
Not like a car she kind of sort of wants
or she kind of sort of likes.
We sold her Mark V Toyota Supra, which was very sad,
but the car that we're buying her,
that we've already paid for,
that we're just picking up,
is her absolute, ultimate, one-of-one dream car.
I'm trying to explain to the audience this car.
This is the car.
This is the car I've been dreaming about for forever.
This is the one-of-one.
It's the end game.
If I get this, well, we already got it,
but if we get this, it's the end game.
Well, we've paid for it, so I sure hope we get it.
This means Sophia is satisfied forever.
Like, we're good.
She might be wearing a Koenigsegg hat, but it is not.
That's not an impression.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's not a Koenigsegg.
In a lot of ways, you would rather have this car
than a Koenigsegg.
I would rather have this car 100%.
Can we give them one minor hint before we get to Florida?
This car is easy to give away.
I'm just gonna say that the color is a black color.
It is black.
I gotta be honest.
I didn't realize that this car had white wheels.
Another, no, I shouldn't say.
There's so many hints to give them.
We've seen this car before.
Yeah, it's a car that's been on the channel.
We've seen it before.
Whoa, that might be a little too much.
I think the best part is you have been talking
about wanting this car since forever.
They already know, but it don't matter because this is it.
Everyone knows what it is.
Everyone knows.
But it's okay.
Well, once again, it is smoky here in Utah.
Guy already burned down right there.
That's the last time, I promise you.
Luckily, we are headed off to Florida,
which I've heard Florida in July is just perfect.
It's so nice.
It's cool.
It's crisp.
It's not humid at all whatsoever.
We're not gonna be sweating at all, right?
It's gonna be beautiful.
It's gonna be gorgeous.
Right, also, shout out to the Tumbleweed Nation.
Oh yeah, dude, Tumbleweed Nation.
Tumbleweed.
Ooh, it is doom and gloom here.
It's like post-apocalypse, right?
Or it's actually the apocalypse, right?
You ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
New whip.
Who dis?
Brand new whip.
Who dis?
Cocodrillos, Mickey Mouse, swamp, and sweat.
That describes Florida.
I hate the humidity.
He don't want this sauce.
That guy don't want the Versa SV and the ZR1.
He's got 1,000 horsepower,
but he don't wanna touch the Subaru Veloce.
Good morning.
What is he doing?
He's got 1,000 plus horsepower.
There we go.
Oh, there we go.
There we go.
Yeah, that thing is sick.
Wow.
I want one of those so bad,
but unfortunately, they are trading for so much over MSRP.
It ain't gonna happen.
That's sick.
Oh, that's an X?
Wow.
It's very early in the morning, so I apologize.
That is a ZR1 X.
That thing is faster than a Koenigsegg Jesko.
Well, we got about 20 minutes.
How you feeling?
It's happening.
Turn and burn, baby.
Come on, Nissan.
We gotta get there.
Sophie's excited.
Look at that thing.
What?
What in Florida?
Can we buy that?
No.
We could try to have a new car with that.
No.
That was sick.
What was that?
You couldn't pay me to take that thing home.
Wow.
We have officially arrived, Sophie.
I'm excited.
This is a cool property.
That's all I wanted.
We haven't seen this car in forever.
Bringing her back to the beautiful state of Utah.
This property is gorgeous.
It's so green here.
It's so beautiful.
Utah, the land of dust, smoke, and swig.
Okay, okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we like to see.
Just driving around a corner in the jungle.
We got the Street Hunter Z right there.
I don't know where we'd go.
That thing is sick.
Yeah, it is a different kind of heat here in Florida.
So hot.
Oh my goodness.
But these guys want to check out the Versa SV.
Brand new whip.
Who dis though?
Oh, that is a two car combo right there.
What is it, Barrett?
This is a Nissan Versa SV.
You've never seen one of these?
Does it got paddle shifters?
Yes.
Does it really?
Yes, it's got everything you could ever want.
Oh yeah.
It's got a sequential gearbox.
I tell you what, Fox rental car,
they're stepping up their game.
Look at that missing sun visor.
Oh yeah, yeah.
We got the hub caps that are all scratched up.
What would you want to be in?
I mean, this or an Aventador?
I might opt for this.
This is an SV.
Oh, my bad.
This is a Versa SV.
So a stock Aventador, this is kind of sort of lame.
Just think if it was an SVJ.
You know, we could probably paint a J on this
when we return it, you know?
Alligators hang out on the beach.
No, no, no, no.
Really?
Yeah, they do.
Okay, we're not going over there.
We're going to stay on the land.
That's not my idea though.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We got surprises, Soph.
We got a lot of surprises, but first,
the car's somewhere here.
Since my very first car that I got,
I have never been this excited.
This is the dream car.
This is like the dream car.
And this is like the best of the best.
I know, I want to cry.
I've always wanted.
Oh.
Is that it?
There it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We do love the Nissan Z.
We had the Pandem Z.
This has the Street Hunter kit,
but I reckon it's probably somewhere in there.
It is.
Okay.
It's behind door number two.
Oh, I like door number two.
Door number two.
So one of these doors is door number two.
It's kind of a coin toss, if you will.
You think that's door number two?
Why wouldn't that be door number two?
Because you count from your left to your right.
Do you?
But this car isn't normal.
You see?
Exactly.
This car isn't normal, so all of a sudden,
you're one and two.
Exactly, exactly.
Ladies and gentlemen.
So, so good.
I love the pink banner.
My Miata had a pink banner, so that's a good one.
Wow.
You guys know this car.
You guys saw this car in Utah.
How long ago did you buy this from Stefan?
Maybe two years ago.
Two years ago.
Oh, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie.
You got yourself a Dorito chip.
I can't believe I have a Dorito chip.
This is the nicest RX-7 I've ever seen in my life.
Everything about this car is perfect.
Ooh, it's so good.
You got the TE37s right there.
I love this carbon hood.
I also love the purple Huracan.
Look at that, dude.
Forget the RX-7.
It's Lambo day.
Just kidding.
You're ruining my day.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Dude, you got all sorts of crazy cars in here.
We got the Viper right there,
but this thing is beautiful.
All right, so somebody much smarter than me,
one of you guys,
you guys got to explain what we're even looking at.
I just see a couple of Dorito chips.
Tell me all the details.
Big turbo, fast car.
Yes, yes, I like that.
That's all you need to know, right?
Big turbo, fast car.
You know, we can make one phone call.
Stefan.
Yes, yes, Stefan, yes.
Luckily, Stefan lives about five minutes away from us.
Oh, baby.
Two rotor, three rotor, four rotor, what is it?
Two rotor, two rotor, two rotor?
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows nothing.
Stefan, we need Stefan.
We need a lifeline.
I'm pretty sure it's a two rotor,
which means it has two chips, right?
It used to be twin turbo, now it's single.
Single turbo.
It sure looks like a single turbo.
Now, before y'all start this thing,
I want to give you a gift.
Oh.
A gift?
Now, Sophia, this gift is for you
because this is your car.
I mean, who cares?
James.
James is over here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's not knock the camera guy too much now, you know?
Here's the key.
Oh, yeah, that's important.
There's one, but here, you never know.
You never ever know.
No, you do not.
That should be a gift for me, though.
Honestly, when you think about it, that should be mine,
but you're never gonna need it.
Is it white?
I haven't taken it out of the box.
If it's white, that's perfect.
It matches the wheel.
It matches the TE37s perfectly.
Wow, thank you, guys.
I didn't think it was too early.
No, no, no, it's never too early, bro.
It is never too early.
No, no, no, no.
I don't want to pull the pin by accident.
Oh, that's very nice.
It's perfect.
That is perfect.
You gonna fire up, Soph?
We gotta hear this thing purr.
You know what I'm most curious about?
How heavy this clutch is.
Oh, you'll be fine.
I've only been thinking about it all day.
No, you'll be fine.
Oh my goodness.
This thing is dialed.
You know what it smells like?
It smells like a Japanese car.
I just love the smell.
How do I, does it have a, it's not a fixed seat, is it?
Could you imagine?
We gotta get a pillow for you,
just like the Countach back in the day.
I don't think that seat moves.
No, really not?
I don't think so.
I think it's bolted into place.
Well, it looks like I'm driving the RX-7.
Dude, I can't look at this.
We're gonna have to get you a pillow.
Hey, we can go to Home Goods.
Yeah, oh, okay.
Sophia's favorite place in the world is Home Goods.
Looks like I'm up in my day to shine.
As luck would have it,
it looks like I got myself an FD RX-7.
Thank you very much, Sophie.
You're welcome.
It is good to be 5'11 and 3 quarters, baby.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I think you should fire her up and pull her on out.
Sophie, this thing is perfect.
I hope it's plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop.
Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop,
plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop,
but it's got no juice.
That's so interesting.
I think we're going there later today.
Are we good?
Yep, we're ready.
So cool, Sophie, that sound.
This is the only key.
This is the, we got one.
And I've been nervous all week.
I'm like, I haven't lost it in two years.
I gotcha.
The only key.
We do not want to lose this.
We should get a second key made someday.
We definitely should.
We got like a whole pit crew.
Dude, you got a team over here.
Look at this.
On the fly, customer service.
That's why I keep all the kids around.
Yes, yes, sir.
So you don't have to do it.
Amen, brother.
And we, yeah, we need them young bucks
to do all the modifications.
So we are moving this seat forward
so that Sophia can drive this baby off the property.
I thought I was going to get to drive it.
Can't let you do that.
Straight to work.
Don't give me credit for taking this out,
because it was all them.
We ain't giving you no credit,
but we are giving you credit for putting it back in though.
Can you reach the pedal, Soph?
We good?
I already made the mistake.
Oh, windshield wipers are going.
Yep, yep, yep.
That's going to happen many a times.
You ain't going to stall it.
Nah, you're fine.
You're a professional, Soph.
Smooth as butter, baby.
I guess, I guess.
Wow, she's gone.
Dude, that thing sounds crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, boys.
I guess I'm here for the long haul.
I wonder if it's smoking, because it hasn't been ran.
Probably.
Well, and it's got the oil in the fuel.
That's pretty normal for an RX-7, right?
I love it.
Oh, she's going to be so happy.
You better slow down,
or she's going to rip that splitter off.
Right?
There it is.
It sounds so crazy.
It's like my Miata, but like on steroids,
and I can already tell from your fast.
Oh.
Yep, there it is.
Oh, I got you, Soph.
Go away.
No, I'm not going nowhere.
We're going to see this soon,
but you have a special surprise.
Is that what I hear?
Something?
Yeah, we're going to go.
I got two vehicles I want to see
if you would like to drive.
Yes, and yes.
Yes, and yes, and yes.
Well, I guess we'll see.
You haven't even seen it yet, so.
I guess you never know.
Some of the vehicles you've had that you have sold
that these guys haven't seen are,
how do we say, different.
Look at that thing.
I want to drive that thing.
Well, that's on the next trip.
Okay, next trip.
Coming soon.
Is this one of your contraptions?
It's the one that just walked in there.
Oh, okay.
Am I nervous?
I don't know if I should be excited or nervous, or.
What if I give no reaction?
Sophie, you did hear him say,
yes, yes, yes, I'm driving.
Oh, great.
What did I get myself into?
You did, you already did it to yourself.
Start it up.
Oh yeah, let's get the start up.
Okay, okay.
Now we're talking.
You can't even see that I'm standing.
You can't even see nothing.
He's going to drive right over you, bro.
I was just trying to get your face for what you're doing.
Yep, I like, I like this thing a lot.
We have officially made it to Florida.
Have you ever driven a squad of trucks?
No, no, bro, no.
Hey, there's a first time for everything.
There is a first for everything.
You drive this every day?
Every day to work.
Wow.
Every day to go to the grocery store.
This thing is a unit.
Yeah, welcome to Florida.
You used the camera to drive it.
How is this legal, though?
Because Florida, because America.
You see, because on July 4th, 1776,
a group of American patriots
created the greatest country on earth.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America.
That's why, Sophie, that's why,
because we can and we should.
Oh, I love this country.
Are you kidding me?
I am so passionate because things like this,
I hate to say it.
Not in Canada.
In Canada, nope.
In Europe, nope.
You can't even see nothing.
What are you talking about?
We got this little camera right here in like 360p.
Bro, I thought you were 5'11 and three quarters.
And the camera.
Honestly, if I stand up,
I can actually see pretty good.
Do you just do that the whole time while you're driving?
Very much.
A good little lean up, you know?
Dude, the old country Florida lean, baby.
As you do.
A horn doesn't even,
if any vehicle needs a horn, it's this.
And we got nothing?
Is that the gas?
You can hear me.
True.
People get out of the way, right?
Can we get rid of the RX-7 and take this home?
I don't think so.
Maybe, think about it.
The horn doesn't work, by the way,
so get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
I'll be the middle man on the deal.
Yeah, there we go.
Maybe we can net out the sales tax with these.
Well, I'm just letting you know
the rear bumper basically touches the ground,
so that's really nice.
Okay, we'll try not to lose that.
The camera is inverted, bro.
It's saying to turn left, but it's right in front of us.
Yeah, so.
The camera is inverted.
I guess we're playing it like it's opposite day.
And now I'm going out on the main road.
Go right, go left.
Go right, go right, go left, go left, go right.
What's a kilometer?
Don't matter, it's a miles America.
It's all matters, baby.
What are you doing, bro?
What are you doing?
No, no, keep.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not doing that.
Dude, let me.
I'm not doing that.
He just grabbed that.
Oh, the grasshopper, yeah.
Dude.
Thank you.
Oh my God.
Oh my goodness.
You guys are giving us the full experience.
That was funny.
Oh, what?
That's insane, bro.
A banana slice, a banana slice.
No.
He's my pet.
His name is Steve.
Steve.
Good buddy, Steve.
I think it's time to get in that Dorito cart.
Now we have to inspect a cart for spiders.
I got to get myself one of these.
This thing is sick.
This is the coolest truck I've ever seen.
You said spec RS?
This thing is dived.
Four, three, two, one, America.
Right here, I'm gone.
Like, gone.
I don't even know what I'm in.
I'm in a spec RS.
800 crank horsepower.
Brother.
Dude, we shouldn't have left those windows down.
Oh, the bugs.
Dude, the spiders are legit in there.
Banana spiders.
Oh, great.
Have you seen me crash?
It's not because I can't drive,
it's because there's a banana spider.
The spiders?
Oh, stop.
I'm trying to keep up.
Turn and burn, baby.
Turn and burn.
Yeah, we're struggling.
I must have had it in the wrong gear.
Oh my gosh, she is in heaven.
And of course, we got the Street Hunter Z right there, too.
This is one of the most eclectic groups.
Oh, we're dropping to the ground on the fly.
Ooh, that sounds nice.
I just missed a flame.
Oh, I stopped recording.
You just shot the biggest flame and I didn't record it.
I missed it.
I messed up.
Oh no, no, no, no.
Dude, that is like ear piercing.
We are in the craziest squad right now.
We're getting overtaken.
Dude, they love hanging out with the Versa.
Let's pop this baby to neutral.
Oh.
Oh yeah.
He looked back.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you.
It's a Versa.
Versa SV.
Holy Trinity right here, baby.
The actual Holy Trinity.
Boy, it's a good day to have a good day.
Oh, baby.
I'll tell you guys what,
now that I've driven one,
I feel like I'm part of the club.
50 years just so we could do that.
God bless the founding fathers that made that possible.
You would never see that in Canada.
No, you're not seeing that nowhere.
Well, I guess this is it, Barrett.
Thank you so much, man.
Oh, no problem.
I appreciate you.
No problem.
I appreciate you.
Dreams achieved.
I love this car.
I know, it's so cool.
Thank you for the hospitality, for the pizza.
We got to drive something
we never thought we were going to drive.
You did better in a way I wasn't expecting.
Check out Barrett's YouTube channel.
There's a link below, MFD Garage.
Obviously, they're doing crazy stuff all the time.
This is just a snippet in the day of the life.
You know what MFD stands for?
What was that?
You know what MFD stands for?
I have no idea.
What does it stand for?
My fat dad.
You're going to have to change it.
To my fit dad.
Yeah, exactly.
Man, I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
Yeah, my fit dad.
I love it.
Well, thank you again so much.
No problem.
Dreams achieved.
If you're ever in Utah, come check out the cars.
Come check out the Batcave, you know?
I told you, I got something brewing.
Okay, okay.
And I may drop off to you, but it's just,
just keep it quiet.
I'm looking at these fellas, and I don't know.
I might have to change my address.
No, you don't want to talk about it?
Wow.
You lucky dog.
You look so good in this.
I don't think I've ever loved a car this much, this fast.
You got that perma-smile going on right now.
What happened if I can't drive it now?
I spat a fireball, and I know I did.
I didn't see it.
You were in front of me.
I know I did, because I can hear, like, that perma.
We got to get that on camera.
Okay, so it's kind of like a quick disconnect,
but it just kind of goes at a 90.
Oh, geez.
It's so tight for you.
Oh, yeah, this is a tight fit.
You see?
I've been trying to tell you guys this for a long time.
All right, and then, oh, that's kind of cool.
It just tilts on down.
Check this baby out.
I could, if I had to,
I wouldn't want to drive it like this, though.
That is, that is a tight squeeze.
This is an eight-ounce bottle, one-to-one ratio,
so one.
Ounce per one gallon.
Per one gallon.
That's a lot of math.
I mean, at least let me get a little in here.
But what goes in first?
Do you put the oil in first or the fuel?
I think it's the gas first.
Really?
What did Stephen do?
We got to watch the video
where Barrett bought the RX-7 from Stephen.
I don't know if that was conveyed in the video, by the way.
Stephen, from Utah, he used to own this.
He bought it, I think, in Seattle
and then sold it to Barrett,
and now we're buying it from Barrett
and we're returning it back to Utah.
So, yes, this is Stephen's old RX-7.
This is the RX-7 sauce, right?
This is what makes this car so special
and so unique and weird.
You put oil in the gas tank.
Check this out.
Look, there is no name on it, so literally,
it's the secret sauce.
So we take one of these.
This is an eight ounce bottle.
You just go one gallon of gasoline to one ounce of this.
You put this in, eight ounces,
you put in eight gallons.
You can fit about two of these in the gas tank.
But I'm not much of a mathematician.
You don't mean either,
but you just roll it in and figure out how to wing it.
Hey, Stephen, I don't know how.
They didn't actually show the process, though.
I know.
Oh, come on, Stephen, we needed you, brother man.
So, according to AI Overview on Google,
it says add the oil first before pumping the gas.
This allows the force and turbulence
of the incoming gasoline to thoroughly mix, Sophie.
That does actually make sense, though.
It makes sense, it does.
Do not spill it.
Okay, so oil first, and then gas.
Eight ounces, eight gallons.
Gallons right on the dough, a little bit more.
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is how you fill up an FD RX-7.
Now, do we check how much more it needs?
Or do we just send it?
I think we send it and do it again.
Dude, eight gallons.
This thing probably gets decent miles, right?
Maybe 25?
Maybe.
So that's probably 200 miles?
I think it has a small tank.
I'm sure it does.
Ooh, that sound.
That is quintessential RX-7.
Oh, you're whipping this thing already.
You are good.
Oh, Sophie, you lucky duck.
What?
Yeah, that turbo.
Oh, she is sick.
What?
This thing's crazy.
This might be the coolest car in the collection already.
Oh, it's always scary.
Right-hand drive in a left-hand drive country.
But you drove the toaster with right-hand drive.
So you're fine, she's Canadian.
She knows what a kilometer is.
Like, stick is so different,
because getting into second like this is so hard.
Yeah, you definitely don't want to go fourth to first.
That's for sure.
You want to put in another eight gallons, eight ounces, or?
We actually went up.
Oh, we're good, okay.
That means my chariot awaits me.
Yeah, the turbo noise in the Versa,
I don't even know if it has a turbo.
It doesn't have a turbo.
It's got four cylinders, and they are normal cylinders.
I got no chips.
Well, we're trying to figure out
if we can get the two Ridge suitcases
to actually fit in the RX-7
so we can drop off the rental car.
You got all the oil, oh, that'll fit.
Okay, but you got a cage.
You got a roll cage.
Okay, reliability, er.
Reliability, practicality.
Practicality.
Yep, yep, yep, okay.
Sleigh queen.
Okay.
Ah.
Ah, ah, ah.
Smokes make everything beautiful.
This has tomorrow night!
This has tomorrow night, winnie!
You've got this for me.
Yoko, boys, we have a phone call.
What's this, Lionel from Make A Moviez?
Yo, switching married men,
and how are they doing right now?
How are they doing over there,
I think, if he weighs 100 pounds on you guys,
for you guys every time I stop recording it pops off again let's go with the
flames of the rx7 and officially welcome here to downtown Orlando Florida let's
see how do we get some elevation I'm hoping this is somehow gonna work we're
trying to get whoo look at that no way a laser-blue Lotus Elise that's just like
the car I used to own that's crazy
this is gonna be a sick sunset we're kind of here like a little bit late now
this is what we're talking about them Florida views on
my gracious got downtown Orlando and right there we need a little bit of pop
oh
the reverberation I had no idea and the sky is open on up there this is the
sounds unreal you're like reverberated and the first time you did it the whole
sky
so if you look like a superhero right now this is the craziest shot I think
I've ever seen her hair I can't brush that that's Florida
I guess I don't really know what else to say about the 95 FDR x7 this car is one
of the craziest cars one of the coolest sounding cars that I've ever heard in my
entire life like who knew to Dorito chips would sound so fire I don't know
