You guys are freakin sick!!!!!!!!!!
This could be a huge massive TV show!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP - AT - IT!!!!!!!!!!
One day, it will be picked up and become super popular!
BTW, the TOYOTA SUPRA IS DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Because of Initial D!)
Wow man, good job ; my Lord, this car sing ! Yeah, the best car ever ; not back to the future but goes to the future ! I bought an 85 Mr2 in 89 and i drove it for 5 years until 1995. This car was really an experience that brought you to future ! Totally incredible... They use to compare this car to tops one ; Ferrari, Porshe etc... Of course those where more powerful with horsespowers but the Mr2 was the one that the noise engine was the loudest ; so you really had the impression to go faster than realty !!! And man, drivong this car was really one of the best esperience of my youther life.
1.6l of Japanese fury. More of a sports car than both my Camaros were. It will slap you for disrespecting it in a corner... in the rain. 2nd gear, 45-60mph full throttle. I had brochures when I was a kid in the 80's, got one in 2014. Fun car strangely easy to fix for the age and mileage.
Not just being nostalgic. There someone about older cars, especially Japanese. There's nothing wrong with liking older cars, it's all about the feeling of driving and nothing more, no tech and loud engine noise.
Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans from the 80's & 90's are some of the best beater cars
"I must look like the biggest Weeb in the world..."
Hahaha, no, you do. But it's alright man. At least you didn't put a big Robotech sticker on the hood.
is this a re-upload? I thought I saw this before... the opening monologue seems familiar?
What I was thinking, maybe there was a copyright issue, or something, and they did a minor reedit?
Yes, half of this vid is from Jan10...yet it will still be new to some, plus it keeps the channel chugging along. That nostalgia bit was a sweet ride and in some ways, merits a replay...we'll all be there one day. ;-)
Just an upload for a new audience that might only be interested in the review
It seems like the last ten minutes of the first episode.
@brendan wright Unforgettable
The blocky straight line styling of the 80's all kinda clicked for me when someone on Reddit mentioned it was because of the change from standard manufacturing to computer aided manufacturing. So they in a way, represent the black screen & green font style of 80's computers where graphics were those rudimentary and geometrical shapes.
I owned a 1985 Toyota MR2 in the same white paint scheme but with the front hood decal (gradient black stripes). I literally drove that car across the US for $100 gas budget each trip. This video is feeding that nostalgia once again, though I know I will never find my old car again to restore it to like it was the day I drove it off the dealership lot in Orlando, FL in '86.
I'm still satisfied with cmilk monologue 😁 Maybe some old motorcycles gonna be good content too in the future. Stay awesome guys!!
Yea, definitely on the cards!
This channel is going to blow up!
No
Owned these cars for 25 years. They are the best!! Haha
Well I am a little biased...
i’m looking to buy my first car and i really love the design of the mr2, might get it
Grumpy little robot guy is great. Never ever stop including him.
Enjoy the creativity and hard work you're putting into your videos. They're worth watching! The 70's-80's were SOOO much better than today because you had privacy. Kids got to be kids and it was a simpler culture. Plus, the 80's were so full of new technology, it was an exciting time. Yes, today's cars are better. However, most of today's modern cars insulate you from a real driving experience. I'm a big fan of the 60's-late 80's cars just for that reason alone. Keep up the great job :)
Awesome - Good timing for me to watch as I have my morning coffee 👍👍
Wow i love this channel more than your main channel :D keep the great work
Thanks!
watching you guys ride. i really miss my mr2. the feeling of manual and the fun of the car itself is irreplaceable
I had a Mazda RX7 when I was young and I loved taking turns in it and I thought it was comfortable. It was fun to drive and I would enjoy driving one again.
Love how the show starts at 4:20!!
I watch everything you put out.
This is my dream car guys, thanks for the upload
First gen MR2 is one of the most fun 80's car
That headband was worn by kamikaze pilots, also. Is there a hidden message here?
I agree that new cars are a lot better then older classics, but for one thing, simple to work on, I can still do all the work on my 65 Mustang with out being compelled to find a certified mechanic. More cars please I loved this!
That is a very sweet ride and Winston did a great job on it.
It’s all about the smiles per gallon not the speed or ultra tight handling.
Says you.
The thing with modern cars is they can use all kinds of technical trickery to improve/fix handling. Traction control, stability control, torque vectoring etc etc. Hell, they've even managed to make the 911 go round corners at speed in the wet now without going through hedges backwards! But back in the day of that little MR2, the only way to make a car handle well was to design it properly in the first place!
Some of the most fun cars I have ever driven were rev happy 4 pots from the 80s. Quite often Italian. A constant pile of electrical problems, but when they're working they were so much fun!
Oh, and it's good to see that some things never change with you guys... The speedo doesn't work! lmao!
I HAD A RED ONE. I LOVED IT SO MUCH BUT COUOD NEVER FIND PARTS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INTERNET LOL
Great vids dudes. Reminds me of your old China videos....just get the damn car an alignment
I was going to say the steering wheel seems off.
Modern cars being faster, dosnt mean better. I think the MK1 MR2 is much more fun than most modern sports cars
0:30 I love that shot so much.
I had a really cool dark blue '88 Celica GT 5 spd hatchback during high school thru college. Good times.
I like the little robot that cusses at you.
That car is still running because of how reliable it is, cars now days last about 10 years
Wow i had a 1996 preferred my Mk1 MX5 or Smart Roadster, but it was a great car, always remember being careful when flying down a hill and then going up another one and the front end lifted up, happy days.
I absolutely love Kirobo. How does he even understand you guys?
Im curious what the horsepower rating over all this time however with your repairs as well
I used to own this EXACT car. I put those red seats in and replaced all the interior. Message me if you wanna know the story behind it. I named him "Marty" when I owned it 😁
That's awesome!
Having a dinky 80's Japanese sports car is the best. I love my '87 Starion, and any new car I've been in just doesn't have that "feel." I really can't describe it, but it's amazing how these cars can charm you. I have uncles that are die-hard muscle car guys, but with a little convincing, and a bit of spirited driving they've come to like it too.
Is the speedometer broken? Noticing it's always at 0 when you're flying down the highway at 70
I always get excited whenever youtubers I already know get into MR2s, honestly a really underrated car. you guys should get an sw20 as well, plenty of fucked up examples of those :)
I own MR2/MRS 2001 Spyder, but I hv always dreamed to drive the 1st gen of MR2 back in 1985 when iI was 15. If only I could find one in good condition. It is rare to find one now
awesome vid guys
Awesome car! I wasn't born during MR2 time period but I would buy one! How would you go about upgrading the car?
Thanks guys 👍
Side note: the German flag on your Worthless Whips shirt is upside down.
Oh no. That's kind of a big oopsie.
@@ibfreely8952 noooo
Using the app to tell the speed was brilliant since the speedometer clearly did not work lol
New cars are better in almost every objective measure. That being said, I do find older cars the be more visceral. There are some exceptions (Miata, GT86, BRZ), but they're becoming increasingly hard to find. Even manual cars are becoming a rarity.
6:41 The speedometer was not working, so how were you able to tell how fast you were going? Also does California not test to see if your instrument cluster is not working properly?
GPS App, and there's another video explaining the steps they need to get it passed, and that does not include accurate instrument reading. It's more on no additional lights and smog test.
The funny thing is the supercharged model AW11( I own one) can out pull a new 86 of the line 😂 or a V6 mustang. Sure it's 30 years old but these old lightweight rocketships are fun, still handle great! For what it is and is more fun and unique than anything else today.
That's awesome
I recently got a a70 supra and can totally relate..
What's the name of the song that starts playing at 0:22 ?
Great work guys. I hope you can do a cheap Jeep some time.
Next, try a first generation Lexus SC400.
I want one, but Winston hates it
@@laowhy86 I can appreciate both perspectives. It's rumored to be one of the best coupes built in that era. Yet to my eyes, it seems styled after a water balloon being squeezed. ;-)
Regardless, I'm confident you two will arrive at something of interest and I intend to watch as it comes together.
I've had one of those, but the JDM Soarer V8 with the tv in the dash and it was great except it made me go broke with all the expensive and unique parts and complecated wiring and bad fuel economy. It was also a really heavy car that only felt at home on high speed sweepers and freeways. Also the styling I a bit too American for me as it was designed for the US market. But it had the most comfortable seats of any car bar Jaguars that I've sat in.
There's SOMEthing about Japanese cars, something perhaps intangible or maybe not able to be articulated, that makes them a pleasure to own or even just drive... Even if the car seems boring and mundane at first, a few drives under the belt later, and a grudging respect begins to grow. I've driven a few marques in my life so far; I learned in a Nissan, I owned a Mazda, I drove a Toyota as a company vehicle... All three had a common thread. They get the job done. Pure and simple. None of them - beyond the occasional exhaust blow - EVER let me down once.
Look forward to the next car.
Re upload?
When you look for MR2 aw11 review and find your favorite China vlogger 😮😅❤❤
I loved my old Datsun B210.
Ha. I don't know if I should be more proud or embarrassed at seeing my old car on here. Man it was fun though. Like driving a giant go-kart with a supercharger.
did you fix the toe before you sold it?
Ohhh the iroc z28, my first car. Nice
Whoa random Winston sighting!
Is it a 4AGE in these?
Thought it was a video about a new car but i guess having 10 minute episodes for those who doesnt have time for a 40 one makes sense
Edit:
Something that would be nice to have is some sort of subtitle for whenever you talk about Miles per hour for us europeans who use kilometers per hour
Any 1980s honda or acura. Miss those.
Are you guys going to take it to the racetrack or autocross?
I have an 82 Celica Supra w. blown head gasket. Stuck at junk yard in middle of nowhere.
I do prefer the old style of some cars most new cars just look alike
How long will you be driving this MR2 with this off center steering wheel? It's annoying to watch and most of the time shows a lack of alignement.
Drives me crazy too. Just adjust the toe, same amount on each side, opposite directions. It's so easy.
They already sold it as per the main video. So we're not getting any more footage from this and if we're going to find out if they fixed the alignment before selling it.
Most new vehicles are junky money pits especially with some age and mileage. Other than that a good vid. i had a 86 with low miles and 100% synthetic oil throughout and could constantly do
0- 60 in 8.4 in the heat, I alo constantly got 44 mpg(imperial) at 60 - 65 mph without cruise control. I could start to feel the speed at 85 - 90 mph and I could get it up to 120 with 500 rpm to go.
ET Himself
"Most new vehicles are junky money pits"
This is about as wrong as it gets. Most cheap cars are better in almost every way than this car.
@@SamIAm-kz4hg Not a chance whatsoever, just how old are u?
@@ethimself5064
"Not a chance whatsoever"
Incorrect. Do some research.
I owned an '85 MR2. I bought it used in '89 with 50,000 km on it when I started teaching. It was a great car. But you honestly think that cars haven't gotten better in the last 35 years? You really are dreaming. The base model of ANY car now is built much better than a car from 35 years ago. They are better in every respect. From the materials used, to how well body parts fit, to the paint, to suspension, to individual components. Most cars now are welded by computer controlled robots. I could go on and on. I can tell you what happened to that car. It rusted out, the dashboard material split down the middle, the suspension went, the engine began leaking. All within a very short period of time.
"just how old are u?"
I'm retired, and old enough to know how to spell the word "you" ; )
But I'm also smart enough to know that almost every facet of manufacturing has improved by leaps and bounds. And I don't see the past through rose coloured glasses.
@@SamIAm-kz4hg Ya, that's why the vast majority of newer vehicles need very expensive repairs starting at about 50,000 miles. Go do ur, yes ur homework a lot better
@@ethimself5064
"Ya, that's why the vast majority of newer vehicles need very expensive repairs starting at about 50,000 miles."
Incorrect again. The auto industry is very different now than it used to be. And you simply aren't taking that into account. First of all, we expect a lot more from our cars. From power, to SAFETY, to a myriad of creature comforts. What was considered acceptable 35 years ago would NEVER pass modern day standards.
There is also much more emphasis on preventative maintenance.
For example, a brake job now will cost $800 since it is common to replace rotors for safety reasons. The standards have changed. This is something that wasn't done in the past. Modern cars make more power, run smoother, rust MUCH MUCH less...they are better in literally every way. Tell me. When was the last time you saw rust on ANY car under ten years old? My MR2 rusted out the rear wheel wells, as was pretty common with cars of the era.
You're going to lose this battle. Stop while you still have YOUR dignity : )
Cars aren't better nowdays , not for most petrolheads.
America should hire CMILK to do all the reviews on the new cars around christmas. XD
I'd take that job
Omg, it's so cool that you replied, thank you so much!
Friend had a 85 mr2 we called him titty rock.( TR is on the car not MR) soo he is in his 50's and still called that.
this channel is all over place lol
2020: Cars are king
2120: Skycars are king.
Skycars will never be king. Flying wastes a ton of energy compared to rolling on the ground. Flying is only remotely economical when you can stuff hundreds of people into the same vehicle.
why don't they make cars that sound like that anymore :(
_The mind wants to argue the heart away, for it is terrified of its vast power, its connection to something infinite._
some day u should make a quartets card game with all ya cars u finished^^
lol imagine an extra 100 hp on it now :D
MR2s were balanced if you wanted to throw it into a corner over most anything else around then.
Cute car!
1st!!!...James Blunt concert tickets?
Entertaining
I'll buy it from ya!
Good for a first or last episode. Danm you'd guys with rerelease. Do a jag. Else your a bad guy..... Lol.
Arg, I've been drinking since 11am. No need for spellcheck.
3 weeks with no uploads boys
I’m never selling mine 🖤
Am I the only one here that wants to see this car transformed into a Group S spec car?
Bullshit chevy once made a corvette in the late 60’s that was able to do 60 in just over 3 seconds. It wasn’t sold for production but it existed.
Right, and the new cars that are better now, don't last as long and they break down so you buy a new one.
I will take my 35 year old Mercedes Benz 500 SEC (235hp Euro spec) over just about anything today. I also have a brand new Camry XLe and I much prefer driving the Mercedes. The car is pure beastly sex on wheels. Hell, police have pulled me over just to look at the it! They always ask, is this the Roadhouse car? Yup!
Love that car
Is it me? or is the steeringwheel not aligned correctly?
The speedometer isn't working. xD Nie vid though :)
📝
are u putting out new car videos soon?
yep! Patreon got the new one first
That Supra mk2 tho.
soon
@@laowhy86 hell yeah brother
Anything that doesn't have car payments is better....lol
Just noticed this in the recommendations column. Will have to watch later.
Have you figured out yet why this issue exists where full notifications aren't accepted? Dunno whether it affects everybody, but definitely more than just me.
I would suspect it might have to do with the old TH-cam style going away soon, that they let it deteriorate functionally. (The new style is about as awful than the new Twitter style. Made for smaller screens but less efficient space use. Needing more clicks to get stuff done, having to wait longer, stuff being visually less distinct etc.. Like breathing the internet through a straw.)
Oh, this is just a segment from a previous video. Already seen the whole thing.
find a 2dr impreza for the next project
It says Nihon. Wakarimasu ka? lol
You beat @Sarah n Tuned in selling an MR2. I wonder how much she’ll sell Mr DOS.
