As a car enthusiast, takeovers are what's ruining it for everyone else not trying to take over an intersection, or run over their "friends"
Car enthusiasts are some of the most obnoxious people in the world.
Take overs and idiots are ruining it for everyone. Go to the track, theres tons of tracks and events, go to legal meets, dont be a dumbass
@@knightfox4121Actually Democrats are
@@knightfox4121As another car enthusiast, yes. Car people are an insufferable bunch.
@@knightfox4121As a car enthusiast, I gotta admit that you’re right 😂
"know what I'm saying" every other sentence had me gone😂😂😂😂
Its so irritating 😂
And we still don't know what he is saying .....

You from the department of gnomesayins? Are you taking gnomesayins cenus? 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love it when I find a new content creator that I can spam watch all his videos. Tommy you the man
I raced in Houston back in the 90’s. My parents raced back in the 60’s and 70’s. The Houston race scene has been alive for many decades.
This isnt a race scene though. The race scene is different from whatever shit this is. You are not going to see cars from the top houston tuners/builders participating in this shit.
in the late 90s, when I lived on the north side we used to go to Rankin Rd to watch the races. it was fun, youd be driving around seeing no one, then all of sudden 150 cars with like 40 lined up to race 2 at a time down the straight away. the cops showed up every time, everyone scrambles and then just comes back like 30 minutes later.
@@HAPPYFUNTIMEx2this is street racing. just because yours looks different doesn’t mean that this isn’t a race on the street
@@gab6031there wasnt a single race in this video
Gotta love seeing a shitty v6 challenger in this lol . Typical dodge owners
Shout out to that young kid! Respectful, knowledgeable, has good taste, working on a business. That boy is going places .
How u know don't believe TH-cam they make things up to look good

That boy Isaiah is definitely going places in life wishing him nothing but lots of success with his business 🙏🏾 💯
Yea. I do as well. That was a cool segment. R.I.Paradise Big Pokey for sure.
That kid is probably more mature than 90% of the adults that participate in this bullsh*t
Little homie making bankkkk good for him. Thats what its about
i swear to god if i hear "yaknow what im sayn" one more time im gonna....
I'm a Houston resident due to career, a car/truck enthusiast myself and can confirm this does represent the Houston car scene. Houston is a giant, crime ridden, industrial park in the swamp that has a reasonable cost of living, good Mexican food, and decent amenities, but it's not a place you would ever want to choose to visit... but I hate all cities, some more than others.
yep
That little kid Isiah is a badass... loves old school cars and runs a business. Father must be proud.
😂he doesn't know why he loves old cars. He said "I like old cars cause they are so plain, not detailed like the new cars, just metal on metal" like he had over heard his dad yakking about why he liked old cars and the kid just mixed up the reason why with the reason why his dad doesn't like new cars 😂 because they are plain and they old cars are the ones that were designed abs details abs curves which aren't "plain" at all 😅
@@auntjenifer7774 That's how all of us base our opinion, to a degree. When we hear about how good something is, or bad, we often feel the same way because we are persuaded by that persons reasoning - that doesn't mean you're just parroting them. That's why some movies and games get so popular. Because people talk about how good Lord of the Rings is, or Barbie/Oppenheimer/Baldurs Gate 3/The Witcher 3/etc and they explain their reasoning for liking them, it makes people that would otherwise be unaware of those aspects recognize them and appreciate them.
The same goes for negatives, I'd be willing to bet 99.95% of the population of the US that dislike a certain politician, or political party, were told about the negatives of them which influenced their opinion - at least to start with, and usually people will stick to the ideology that they favored in the beginning - they don't normally flip flop between being red/blue. If nobody talked about the things that certain politicians like Gavin Newsom or DeSantis have done (whether positive or negative) most of us that don't live in CA or FL wouldn't even know about them, let alone have an opinion on their politics. Most Americans do have an opinion on Newsom or Desantis because we listened to other people talk about them and how good/bad they are.
But how many people care about or know about Daniel McKee, the gov of Rhode Island? Probably a hell of a lot less than those that know about the two previous examples. That's due to hearing someone elses opinion and basing theirs off of it... Or the lack of it in McKee's case.
@auntjennifer7774 Lmao let that kid be he probably just looks up to his father 😅 which sounds like he is a great father and is raising a young king.
@@auntjenifer7774He’s a little kid yo😂
dont be mad yo dad left yo ass🤣@@auntjenifer7774
12:46 the fact that dude isaiah has a buisness at that age is soooo impressive bro mad respect to that kid
Fr that lil man is going far. He looks like he holds himself well. Stand-up young man
Dead trim though
Great role models he has.
@@ericmutnan6358why are you being an asshole he’s clearly not part of the takeovers he likes older cars
I almost tore up 😢 a child as young as him appreciating the old school Salute 🫡 💯 to his father for teaching that young man values.
TAKEOVERS IS NOT STREET RACING. Stop putting them in the same category
This comment is underrated
You barely scratched the surface of H-Town's street scene. I hope you can come back to experience the rest of it. Keep in mind, these cars that you showcased are in the 400-500hp range. H-Town actually has the highest volume of 1,000+hp vehicles in the country. We are known worldwide for having the fastest vehicles on the streets. Almost 80% of the online racing videos have been filmed right here, on Houston roadways. Next time you are back, collaborate with OnDGas, 1320 Videos, Mexico Racing League, Street Car Video, and the list goes on 👍
Didn't ask.
Nobody knows you world wide for fast cars only nasa
Never knew of this
How do I find these events ? I’m traveling there next month
tap in wit us cuh, its easy to find places in houston@@user-ly5cw1wu4g
This is the bad side of the car scene, and it’s so disappointing to see how easily people can get sucked into this type of activity.
One of the first movements to start this “car scene” bs. 😭 I’m a car enthusiast and I catch myself at these sometimes. It’s not for everyone. But don’t take it up thebass if it’s not for you
Has been going on for decades in California. Why the crying now?
@@650kp the good side of the car scene are the ones uploaded by 1320video, these are just the hood side of car scene lmao
@@650kpjust using my common sense but people care now because it’s happening in every major city in the country now. What do I know, only won engine masters
@@UsdmAristoits for lowlife thugs and criminals nothing more. There cars are either stolen or on lease and will be repo within months.
Shout out to young man isiah, hope his business grows bigger
I hosted car meets in Houston for 5 years. We averaged 500 cars at most every event. The sliders that did come thru kept it 100 and helped us raise money and collect toys for kids. There are plenty of outstanding people who care... even the ones that like this type of fun. They kept it 100 with me and in 5 years... we were just about the only big car meet that was never shut down.
What happened to them
@@Anonyoutubewatcher26 first it was covid... then life just happened. Too many people stopped bringing out their cars due to the takeover crowd and police viewing every car meet as a takeover.
Will ya have an event the weekend of feb 9 ? I’m traveling out there and would love to see the real side of htown
"sliders" bunch of dorks that cant drift hahahahaha
12:52 The Kid is already hustling signs. I hope he stays out of trouble and continues building his business. The kid seems really smart for his age.
These people are the people that make it hard for the real people that love cars
Honestly yeah thats true
Facts
No cap
exactly
It sucks when they come and screw up perfectly chill meets and get them shut down, too many idiots with (mostly without) licenses
A guy I went to high school with died at one of those cars slide shows in Portland. He was a spectator on the side
That’s rough. So sorry for your loss.
The final lesson
at least it wasn't from a proud boy
Count how many times they say “you what I’m saying”
I respect Tommy for staying safe but also getting us good content
Drinking before they do it is the worst part… drinking knowing you’re about to intentionally do risky behavior. I know we all have our own ways of life, but that is risking everyone else who didn’t ask to be a part of that race 😕
100%
I understand 1 or 2 shots to get loose but they were chugging those bottles. Scary stuff.
gotta get on the smelling salts
Quote of the day: “Action is the ink that writes the story of your life”
those are facts that literally write a book.
Bro there’s no way you went for a sideshow in Houston. THIS IS A BAY AREA THING. WE DO IT WAYY BETTER IN THE BAY. WAY MORE ACTIVE TOO. All these other cities barely started doing this recently
Represent a good side of the car community next time. Takeovers are the bottom of the barrel. Love the content
You didn't have to remove my comment, I didn't say anything wrong
what u say xD
@@thedude8046
You know what im sayin ?
Nahmsane?
Ynaixsxkkwykwsxykxtjmfxaxkascmgcwcswyucfnnasvcyyfagtcnuyac im tweaking
Know i'm sane
These takeovers are an embarrassment to the car community. Thanks for giving us actual car enthusiasts a bad name.
Got arrested last week for reckless driving and had my car impounded. These people are the real reckless drivers. I was going fast on an open road in the country late at night.
Note - don’t run from 12, not worth it. Give yourself a chance in court with an attorney.
gay
Facts about running. Unless you're seasoned at it, it is stupid to commit a felony to avoid a misdemeanor lol.
That’s what I got a motorcycle for 😂
Just buy a faster car 🤷♂️
@@charlescook2385shiit, I've been rocked 1x running, out of dozens. Once you build up that reputation with the law you are marked for life
I've caught some minor stuff like this on video lately. I have to agree with most of the comments this is the type of thing thats ruining the real car scene. Its making Cars and Coffee's hard to exist because these takeovers become to bad. Thankfully we have nothing to this degree around but I still see the effects of it every weekend. It's one thing to make a pull or smoke the tires leaving but another to be causing traffic problems and becoming wreckless. It's sad because a lot of those people don't know the first thing about car control.
Takeovers aren’t ruining your park n chills
@@cardinology8536 unfortunately you’d be wrong. There are a lot more rules and regulations because of them. From where people can stand watching cars leave to where events can be held and when. They’re all having to go through the cities and counties to get approval and cops have already had 2 shows in the past month canceled because of that type of activity.
@@Buddybryan3yea it’s people like you that just pick and choose what to agree on, you really believe takeovers are the reason cops are shutting down park and chills, leaving out the fact that people are constantly revving, doing burnouts, & power sliding out the parking lot but ohhh let someone do a donut there and y’all will be so quick to blame the takeovers scene, can’t even hold your own people accountable your a joke
The old meets at westheimer and 6 were so insane.
The first video that I watched was kia boys and i never liked documentaries until i started watching you and its crazy to see how far you have come love the videos keep them up
Need to introduce tommy into the drift scene and get him a ride along
That’s what I’ve been saying
nah, he’ll just sit in the pits, babble, and then ask “so what was that?🤓” after the lap
@@tavvybaphadili2728what else he supposed to do
@@BB-os5gn get in the car like anyone else 😂 this guy a whole square fr
Tommy.. I always love the videos but please don’t mislead the people. This is not street racing. These typically are called takeovers.
Mostly it is just doing donuts in a parking lot...
I recognize my younger self in alot of these people . I’m 29 but 17-23 I had this mentality. I’d do crazy stuff just to feel cool. There’s grown ass men there still battling with it
😂😂
H&R Cars would’ve been goated for this documentary fr 🔥 keep up the great content 🙏🏽
Isaiah going places in life, little man is a hustler already!
Facts 💯 He got that natural born skill from Pete his pops
Hopefully he doesn’t grow up thinking that sounding ghetto is cool, nahmsayn
Isaiah is smart. He is going to be something in the car world. Muscle for life
Love the videos bro keep it up your killing it as a upcoming creator 😨
Much respect for all God bless happy New year
Gotta watch it quick before it gets taken down
More and more I’m impressed by how accurate Rockstar was with GTA 5 lol
Whoa tommy g got 1 mil subs!!! Congrats bro been here since 30k
Used to race off Hwy 6 and Westheimer back in the early 2000s. It used to be all about meets on whatever side of town you were on, meet up in the business parks, and race and chill all night. These "takeovers" are ruining shit and are just plain dangerous.
I miss those days, sad it’ll never be like that again! Had my fair share of Westheimer since the late 90s.
I used to think I was untouchable, and thought speed didn't matter to me....
Until I hit bushes right off the hiway running over 90 mph, flipped 5 times, scared the crap out of me. But I got out unhurt. Thank God
Hopefully you learned that you aren’t untouchable, stay safe bru
Sound like a skill issue
Glad you made it out of that and are still here. Reality can humble the ego very quickly.
Take overs (swing meets) are the worst thing to happen to the car scene since fake air vents.
Shush Karen
I bought my car cash 💯🫡 keep crying Karen
@@ChromeHeartSrt line it up twin.
@@ChromeHeartSrt sure 😭 I gap stock scats with a email tune and a charge pipe, come line it up in the DMV m340i 👑

FINALLY CAR CONTENT FROM THE BEST TH-camR INNA WORLD
All the way back to Rankin Road. Houston has always had a good scene. Even Houston Motorsports Park is fun.
On behalf of the car community, if the only cars you know are 392s and hellcats your NOT a member of the car community 😂
There's sub communities of every community
I guess muscle cars aren't a part of the car community. 😂
@@zephyr3332 I’m not saying they aren’t they are a huge part but a lot of people claim to be apart of the car community by only knowing and respecting those two cars
@@ARCarReviews5 If you like cars and there is a group of you I'd say your a part of the community. Isn't that good enough?
@@zephyr3332 more like douchbags in MOPAR category... 90% of Charger and Challenger owners are ignorant asf
U gotta do the true car scene of Huston. Roll races and drag racing. 🤙🏻
Exactly 💯
Where I find when these events are going on ? I’m traveling to htown soon
He needs to take a trip with 13200 to see the real race scene! These guys all have the same few cars (Hellcats/Challengers) & only do donuts… I didn’t see one connecting drift or rolling pulls☠️
As a person who lives in houston, i had no idea these races were going on. So cool to see things in my city that i would've never seen before !
not somthing to be proud of
Races😂 buncha shit
That little kid around 12:56 is OG at heart
Tommy G keep up the great work with these dope videos
Watching this while currently sitting in Houston traffic is beyond funny🤣
STOP MOVING TO HOUSTON
At 9:43 Didn’t expect to see another Genesis coupe! I have one and feel like these don’t get enough love!
I fucking love that car. I wish they still made it, they really had something there. It's my one big gripe on Hyundai next to their service department which is also terrible at least here in Illinois. I recently went to Ford and traded my Hyundai Ioniq hybrid for a F-150 lighting and I love it but still loyal to Hyundai as a brand and still have a 2022 Santa Fe Limited with the 2.5T which I love but they continue to piss me off even with the free oil changes they don't put the required shit in there since it's kinda hard to get (0-30 synthetic). Sometimes I feel like the fellas in Korea don't even know what goes on over here.
Big fan of you Tommy G… I might of wrestled you in HS… from Fond du Lac … peace bro you have a kick ass show and I love it!
should really do the bay area takeover scene, that's where it started
I was just gonna comment this 😂 specifically oakland
7th streeeeet
nobody cares ab Bay Area, Texas cars are faster and truck scene is better all day, there’s a reason there is Tx2k
Happy to see you coming to my area of Texas! I’ve spent allot of time in H-Town through my year’s. Love your video’s and keep up the good work bro! ❤
Tommy G with another banger 🫡🫡
This one definitely needs a part 2. With more sliden
You’re doing a wonderful job with the videos man!!!!
It’s pretty smart posting the videos in black and white! Also, one time for Big Pokey!!
You need to come to LA ASAPPP
Thank you Tommy for this amazing video ❤
Imagine stepping out of your door everyday and just walking to the corner store is a brush with Death and your 12 .
The way you talk and the way you start you’re videos makes me wanna watch more😂💯
“Know what I’m saying count”
Finally bro covering the Houston car scene 💪🏽💯
Can’t make a sideshow doc without recognizing The Bay Area!
Right . He needa go to the bay
Isaiah is going places 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Im taking Tommy to some offroad for some new dope content..leaving the concrete jungle and to the dirt. Youd love it bro
I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but we need a bay area episode, especially on the side shows💯🙏🏽🙌🏼
Damn. Filmed August 12th? Crazy how instant we feel TH-cam videos are. Always shocked when I find out a brand new video was filmed months ago.
Same with podcasts lmao.. Filmed 8 months prior 😂
The lil homie Isaiah out here hustlin. I respect it.
You need to come out to Cali La or the bay where the shows really orgin from!!!
Tommy you should go to some American islands like the Caribbean Hawaii ect and see how they feel about the mainlaind and how similar/different their life is. I know where I’m from people who live on the islands are very different but loving people
Man Houston is only 3 hours away. I would’ve drove down there to meet you in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Thanks for showing Texas love.
I live in the city but sadly was working that day. If I had my car I would have want to go meet him too
I already know u talking about San Antonio 🤣
Used to go to dallas street races 20 years ago. Spots would get shot up but that wasnt what opened my eyes. Saw a car have a bad roll and no one went to help the guy, everyone just ran. I never went back after that.
Yo I love in Houston and this is my first time seeing this. I've seen the cars but never knew about the meets. I gotta go to one
How do you have so much street cred that legitimate criminals allow you to document them committing crimes? These mofos snitchin on themselves. lol. It's tremendous reporting, too, you get right in the mix where all the action is. You deserve all the documentary and news awards.
Anything for views. That’s all it comes down to. People want ‘fans’. So they have to get the camera on them and then they get locked up snitching on themselves.
You don't need any street cred just a camera they want attention and viral views that badly
You talk like these guys are the cartel😂😂
they are and this was a recruitment video. they wear masks outside to hide from the ops ...@@user-rb4cf5dy4p
Love your videos. I absolutely hate that takeovers have exploded. We really need better places to go with our cars that are legal, but society seems absolutely hell bent on taking them down for houses.
God forbid we allocate housing over street racing. Lol.
Dont u think it makes sense since were in a housing crisis
Sideshows have been around since the 80s cry about it snowflake
Thank you for coming to my city
that boy ammar in the vlog W
🔥🔥
honestly one of the most responsible takeovers i’ve seen
I LOVE UR VIDS I WAIT TILL U MAKE NEW ONES PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Wasn’t surprised the girls in the beginning was whipping the good ole Altima
Beautiful dog !!!
That kid talking about old muscle cars being better then these new plastic cars, has restored my faith in humanity hahahaha.
your real good at what u do bro ❤ love your energy
Street Takeovers remind one of the Car Spinning scene of Shouth Africa. With Chargers instead of E30s and less intricate tricks but very similar vibe.
9:40 "I cant do this shit no more" got me
TOMMY DO MORE OF THESE IN DIFFERENT CITIES! huston tx, LA, charlotte nc, miami is good, nyc are your best ones imo
Can’t forget the bay. bay area started the sideshows 🏆
Sideshows came from Oakland….At least them Detroit cats actually gave credit in the Vice video
Isaiah knew more about cars than most of the loudest people 😂 His Dad raised him right
You're world wide🌍 from your top fan from republic of Uganda🇺🇬 Africa ❤
As a native Houstonian who used to be heavy in the car scene i got goosebumps watching this.. Keep it up big dawgg
You should’ve went to the Bay Area sf or Oakland or Stockton valley for this real side show activity
Im pissed he went to Texas for a sideshow. WE DO IT WAY BETTER IN NORCAL
We started ts too
Aint nobody finna go Cali bro. Yall sunk that whole state 😂
i've been wating for a street racing video from you forever and a takeover video is not what i expected lol
Our Co. had a slogan Go Big or Go Home!, Yo Tommy those intros are hot. who edits your content dawg?
Tommy didn’t look too impressed about the drinking and driving and swinging the cars
i used to absolutely live in the takeover scene in my city and never really thought of it as "death defying" cus well... nobody ever got hurt. the closest racetrack to my house is about 150 miles away and costs hundreds of dollars just to step foot on the track. open to the public about 1 day a month. closest side show is 5 minutes away every Saturday and is absolutely free besides gas and tires for an entire night of memorable fun
youre the problem lol, thanks for ruining it for actual car people. park and chill. if ur car cant draw attention going 5 mph or parked you did it wrong lmao
Agreeed, people like you are def the problem
Ratchet lmao. Can’t afford a few hundred 😂
Then guys who go to takeovers quick to call everyone else broke😂
“nobody ever got hurt” half of my IG reels are people getting smacked at takeovers by shitboxes the other half is them getting hit with a nice car
"Drinkin Henny talkin bout goin 100Mph, "Ill pass on goin in that car" 💀 Tommy funny ash n he right too ain't nobody with a brain getting in one of them cars while they drinking 🤣😂
tire company's love these guys
MY BOY TOMMY ANOTHER BANGER documentary!🏁 but unfortunately these takeovers are messing up the car community!💯
These dudes make the car scene look bad.
