Have a great weekend guys, we'll see you next Saturday for the finale!
Satisfying 👍👏👏👏
Another loving contents fron GG💖
Love you guys from Pakistan.
The only thing you guys need now is to upload your videos in 60fps and ill be a very happy camper :))))
Anyway Sick video guys keep it up !!!
You guys should add a map to the presentation of the locations, how much you travelled and where you are. Viewers outside of USA might be confused, just like me🤣
Gears and Gasoline has replaced Saturday morning cartoons as an adult 👍🙏
Lol ikr
FACXTS!!!
FACT
Sir, this is gospel!
Truth
9:30 if y’all are interested, basically a guy got pulled over because he was driving recklessly and his defense was that there was no speed limit so he sued the state. He lost but they added a speed limit.
Wasn't there a story about a fighter pilot speeding through in a exotic and got pulled over, and went to court and he won?
Always takes one person to ruin it.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Ben Valenzuela probably a different story though
I thought the government didn’t want to give the state money until they added a speed limit, so there you go, speed limit?
Disclaimer: This is why they request you don't change your oil in the parking lot.
It’s fine they are sponsored.
Jfc you guys are a mess
its fine to do it, its the splitter who is making it hard to do.
How the Hell is this Free to watch? the production quality is just insane
"Free" is kinda stretching it... They just make money in a different way than charging for the view directly. Few ads on the video, a "baked in" sponsorship that can't be skipped and voila, they make some money (just enough to pay the speeding ticket :) ... And yeah, the production quality is really good.
Petar Miladinovic with 730k subscribers I’m pretty sure they’re getting more than enough to pay the speeding ticket lol
Jake Lannetti ur not lying
Don’t give them ideas
you're the product
This show is like a sort of american top gear special, brilliant.
its better
@@faranahmad5357 idk about all that
CLARKSON!!!
Now don't get ahead of yourself, They're good. But Clarkson and his boys are on another level.
It is better than the current Top Gear.
first of all. HUGE respect to the man or men behind the videography. you ROCKS!!!!
It’s 3 women.
Frrrrr they did an amazing job with the shots from the side of the road i couldnt stop to think how they did that lol
Can you imagine what these guys could do with a "top gear" budget? These series are incredibly well written, beautifully shot, and inspiring on so many levels.
Seriously man this youtube channel is amazing 10/10
100% would be fire
The fact that you're blatantly saying that you let him go off on his own because he wanted to get E85 and you didn't want to be slowed down.... that hurt. Seeing as he was there for you when your tires popped he drove five hours for that and he waited while you recharged. That's just messed up Thorn 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I think for all that he had to go through helping out with the tesla and the recharging, I would say the cheating he did for the race should be forgiven for that since he probably could have been massively ahead if he didn't wait for recharges or help with the tire swap
@@alexalcaraz9271 Starting out he prob felt that. By now tho with how rough a ride that car was he was probably looking foward to getting out for an hour.
"Tune in next week......"
Me : Yeeeesssss!
".... for the stunning and extremely eventful conclusion..."
Me : Nooooooooo!
Thats was my reaction
Everyone needs a facty Ben on their road trips.
JFK isn't one of the presidents on rushmore though -- I'm Canadian and I know this. Was he joking, or just wrong?
@@ColinFox most likely trying to befuddle other ben's mind.
@@ColinFox whoooooosh
@@rosseaton89 You'll note that I asked if he was joking, so stuff your "woosh"
@@ColinFox yes he was joking lol. I like this new troll Ben
"It's a lot smaller in person"
"Yeah, a lot of women have told me that as well"
I love a bit of sneaky humour
( 2:40 )
I love how at 3:07 his favorite president on Mount Rushmore is JFK Not Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, or Lincoln all of which are actually there! haha
I thought that I'm the only one who got that
@@jemohammed It's been killing me looking for a comment to recognize this. 😂
The Cinematography on this video is OFF THE CHARTS! Keep it up guys!
This is the Natural Geographic Channel I like! That oil change had me laughing so hard 😂
Damn it! I was so looking forward to change my oil in Advance Auto Parts's parking lot.
As a Greek I've never been to US.
Thank you guys ,u made me feel like I was there with ya.
Love your MX5. 🤩
@@mr.cangieter8758 love your mom 😍
This race is perfect, we all know that Top Gear is the king and you guys have done it perfectly. Absolutely perfectly!
It's not a ripoff, it's an homage!
@@GearsandGasoline didn't intend to imply differently, it was beautiful.
@@GearsandGasoline am getting big TG feels from this! absolutely riveting series with amazing production quality, great job guys!
3:36 that animal up there must have been like: Damn that Evo sounds nice 😂
If I got ticketed every time I was doing 30 in a 20, cops would be building space cruisers by now
... let's be honest, he says he didn't get pulled over because of the car, but that cop wouldn't have looked twice if he was doing 30 in a 20 in a Corolla. He got pulled over because of the car, lol.
Thats the most car game mechanics ever i got a "ticket" for going 21 on a 20 i was lmao
Love the series but I would also love to see a road trip with a 2020 Tesla Model S Long Range Raven vs a 2020 Honda Civic Touring. 2 great cars with excellent range and mileage and modern technology.
Peter buy a tesla, that station wagon of yours sucks
I think a Model 3 LR would be a closer comparison as price difference is less, may be even midrange or SR+, for the sake of price, but 3 LR would make the most sense.
@@ViviSaggio Ok zoomer
Civic would win.
@samuel tan aghhhh you are the 8th person that has offended me with that reply. I feel my heart crack
I absolutely LOVE how you played Arabian music during Ben’s “oil crisis” at the advance auto parking lot
When I slept last night, my last thought was, there’s going to be a gears and gasoline video for breakfast. And boy what a treat this was. Thank you for amazing content.
This looks so damn fun! I'm sure many are motivated to do a whole road trip through the US after watching this series
Yup you’re right lol I’m about to quit my 8 to 5 job and start driving across the country and get back home hella broke 🤣🤣🤣 I wish man fuck
14:08. watch me roll in reverse for 4 feet then demonstrate how grabby the street pad brakes are when cold. DOOR SLAMS,
Yes, waited the whole week for this.
Thank you for such great content! 👍
same
This channel is so underrated. Y’all deserve 10x the subscribers y’all got. I live for the road trip series. Keep doing y’all thing!!! 💯
You don’t need to put so much force plugging in to charge. You’re going to end up snapping a contact point or something lol
Dolores is a bit special actually, Rich told me specifically to do that. It doesn't click in otherwise.
@@GearsandGasoline ya, she's special alright. But still as competitive as any other car!
I thought that was Delores!!! Rich needs to be in the video!
Gears and Gasoline ahh Delores. Makes sense then 😂
Dolores has a tight hole eh 😏
I just bought an evo 8 should I drive it from Virginia to cali
Lol for the one time?, yes. But if you over 25 you gonna regret that 🤣 shit is uncomfortable af even worse than a 10
I love these types of long videos, Makes you feel like you are on the road trip with them!
When me and my friends get our P plates we all plan to go on a road trip together
There is no words that can show how much I appreciate this roadtrips. Each and every single roadtrip you do, you make them amazing to watch.
20:34 "Opens trunk"
Mosquitoes: *It's Free Real Estate*
Those shots in South Dakota, Wyoming , and Montana were beautiful! Great segment.
Man, I went to Vegas last week and contemplated taken my evo.
Wife wasn’t having it. :/ the droning kills !
And coincidentally I was in Tesla yesterday. I’d really like one now 😀
It always happens like that, doesn’t it. I was vehemently against buying a Tesla and then I sat in one... and now.. I kinda really want one
Same here, I did one test drive and now I’m a model 3 owner.
I have not driven a Tesla yet, but I would love to test drive and maybe buy an X model. Hubby is not into ev cars, though.
Ps. We are traveling to Vegas today 😃
You are free to buy a Tesla just DONT SELL THE EVO FOR ONE
Evo x owner here - gonna get a base Model Y as daily / family car, and save Evo for track/fun. Just don't sell the Evo, it's a classic rare JDM legend
That startup comparison was hilarious.
I LOATHE having to put my car into sport mode & dsc-limited EVERY STARTUP. I want it to be a saved setting.
Imagine driving a gundam for a long trip. Probably pretty stiff too
Man, you guys don't know how fortunate you are to live in a country with such long roads vs going from coast to coast in 30 minutes. Would definitely love to do a road trip in North America and Europe one day.
This is the future of entertainment, Tesla vs. Mitsubishi, haha. All their ideas are 2nd to none. Ben vs. Ben. Yesss.🎉🎉
I’ve never seen a video like that in my entire life ,this is simply amazing,you guys are genius and the landscapes are breathtaking .Love you and the fantastic work you’re doing.
Finally! They’re back! Past 2 Saturday’s I’ve been waiting... please make this 2-3 times a year! Maybe each season. Great content, awesome editing, badass dudes
You know its quality content when you watch for the personalities and cinematography rather than the cars. Amazing work guys, loving everything about your channel :)
this felt soooo much like old top gear and it was so awesome !
No
If there's no Clarkson or hamster or may it's not anywhere near top gear
It's so much better than Top Gear ever was.
Guys! If anyone is listening. This series is just awesome. Please make more of these, not just once a year but how about one every 2 months?
Love how the series is turning out so far!
Washington born and raised. Now in Portland Oregon, glad you guys got a chance to enjoy the northwest. Its a unique place inside and outside the cities.
"wanna lick my bumper?"
we know...
we know
Alaska
Idk
no i don't actually
@@Kumar-bg6nr oh, youll just need to wait then ;D
he did in Alaska
Man this had the feel of the old top gear series when they do their races across (destination e.g japan, italy, germany) cinematography is great and the banter between the two of you is impeccable. I hope netflix or amazon pick up your series. Cant wait for your future , don't forget about us.! :)
i thought my GTA V is still open (0:55) the walkie talkie sound
This is so well done. On par with old Top Gear segments, while not ripping them off. Great job guys.
Love how this video started off in my home state. Gotta love that 80MPH speed limit.
Did you hit up Iron Mountain Road?
Ayyyyyy this guy knows. Literally drive that road every weekend, absolutely love it.
I like that gas can with the DIY nozzle. Makes filling so much easier than the 'easy-fill' nozzle on the cans you get from shops.
Glad you did the oil change dynamic. When I first got a Tesla, my brother said he would race me across the county. I said I would win because he would need to stop and get his oil changed. 😁
being ill and watching gears and gasoline is the best medicine thank you guys!
Get well soon
The scenery out west is amazing!
Montana is such an amazing place in USA. My favorite is great falls especially during autumn.
I wanna do subie long road trips in my car😭
Thier first road trip video inspired me to go in my Impreza and my buddy in his Ford RS to do one. I say go dude 🤘
@@JoeyyTube awesome! I forsure will fam
I do all the time.
Make sure to replace the head gasket before and after the trip😂
@@InfinitiLuxurys bruh HAHAHAHAHA
I have over 50,000 miles on my Tesla, and have taken multiple cross-country road trips in it. Once you readjust your thinking from the “I must get there as fast as possible” to the more relaxed “this is a journey that I can enjoy”, you start to see the advantages of an EV. Particularly using auto pilot on the freeway, you can readjust your brain from being constantly at attention to more of a managerial role where you keep everything safe and under control but don’t have to deal with the tiring aspects. Also, spending 1/3 to 1/4 the money to travel is quite appealing. I did a 3000+ mile journey for about $70 in charging, which is hard to beat.
Honestly the eco could’ve been left the Tesla when it was charging
Crazy thing I seen that evo when I was going through South Dakota at the same time. Crazy.
Ben a Lil salty. Having to cheat because he couldn't do the oil change fast enough.
Well Ben did also wait at every recharge station and also helped do a complete tire swap or he could have been massively far ahead with each stop the tesla needed to take
Wouldn't call that salty at all
was more than a great sport about everything and I ended up rooting for him cause of it
I’m from South Dakota and starting this episode off in my home state is truly amazing! The black hills is so underrated I’m glad you guys made an episode here ❤️
"Which of the four presidents at Mount Rushmore is your favourite?" "out of the four, I would have to stay JFK." I'm Canadian, I've never been to Mount Rushmore, but even I know that JFK , that's John F Kennedy, isn't one of the four presidents carved into the stone. It's George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln . 3:00
It was obvious sarcasm lad
Whoooooosh
Gears and Gasoline, the PNW is astoundingly beautiful. I traveled for work and worked at the hospital in Astoria, Oregon where you entered after the bridge. That bridge over the Columbia river is breathtaking! I often traveled down to Seaside for movies and beach time. I love your videos!
16:18 reminds me of the windows XP background
Joseph Buffington II my god it does....
I thought so too, probably because I'm still using a spare core2duo desktop that still has xp installed, though it's only for htpc duty lol
I'm not usually one to comment on TH-cam videos, but this show is clearly top notch. The content is funny and interesting but what really strikes me is the videography. The cuts, color grading, music selection and the awesome drone shots and B-roll. In that sense it's above even Amazon's Grand Tour imho. And no old farts or penis jokes, thank you!
"A lot of women have told me that as well"
Coming back to this road trip saga two years later I can appreciate South Dakota and the beauty of the Midwest and upper West after taking a couple road trips. Definitely a worth while experience
LOL 😂 you will ditch him cuz he needed e85 and its “out of the way” for you...he literally stopped everytime for you to charge ur car....he woulda been dusted you if he didnt wait for you (which i thought i was watching, a race...but idk what im watching now, still entertaining though 👀 but yeah...he woulda been gone if he didnt wait for you....and you wouldnt have new all season tires if he didnt go get them wheels lol 😂
This is how car reviews should be made.. with actual driving, long distance travelling.. we ordinary people don't always track our cars but we do sure travel a lot.. I've loved this video...
AND TONIGHT
White Ben says Tree
Asian Ben gets pulled over
And White Ben sleeps in his Tesla
Americans are ridicously obsessed with race
I watch these episodes with a warm heart remembering last year's road trip from North Carolina to Tadoussac Canada and then to South Dakota. 6,800 miles of beautiful memories!
No ones talking about how he thought JFK was on Mount Rushmore?? (He’s not)
I was scrolling and scrolling to finally find this comment being made!
was it not a joke? seemed like it to me.
Seriously, JFK?
No ones gonna talk about how you completly missed the joke?? (Cause you did)
End felt just like an old top gear episode, great job guys!
The helmet is hilarious.
Oh man. You missed one of the greatest bits of road when you were by Rushmore. US 16A. Corkscrew bridges, narrow twisty single lane sections, big stone tunnels, hairpin switchbacks. The sound of the Evo in one of those tight stone tunnels alone would've made it worthwhile. Do a quick youtube search for the highway if you have time. It'll definitely be worth a visit if you're ever driving through western SD again.
3:01 Are we gonna act like out of the 4 presidents on Mt. Rushmore, he comes out of the woodworks and picks JFK with a straight face 😭😭😭😭 and I’m not that smart but if it was built in 1927 and JFK became president in 1961, something don’t add up lol like wtf
I’m hoping it was humor but his straight face has me concerned. Lol
That's why it's funny because it was with a completely straight face
say hello to sarcasm
Thank you for making this video. Now I can see how the other states of america looks like. Montana is especially beautiful. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
JFK isn't on mt Rushmore...
You guys will love going down 101, one of my favorite places in the world is the huge hill overlooking the beach right before Manzanita, OR. I loved seeing my hometown in this video! Excellent work guys, amazing video!!
Hell yeah the seconded episode!!
I love how you make a point of wearing gloves to protect the suede, then proceed to drive bare handed after wet wiping your hands after an oil change
exactly my thoughts
Anyone else getting major life is strange vibes from this
or is it just me
I gotta say.. after all these years, the design of the Tesla still holds up to this very day. It's beautiful!
Great series, guys!
wow that helmet doesn't fit you at all
Unlike yours nice r1
That is cool, you guys drove through my town of Montesano, WA at 32:11 waiting for the light to change on the single lane bridge.
What makes me laugh is when a tesla owner gets upset they'll just mash the pedal and it takes off in silence. And nobody cares to look or dont notice it.
EDIT and i would rather get pulled over just for routine stops and (possibly the officer seems to like my car)
The silence is deadly. Tesla's are amazing vehicles. This coming from a gear head.
Pretty cool to see BOZEMAN, MT featured in this episode even if it was just the parking lot. LOL ...sometimes I wish I never left that place. Great town!
I don't think jfk is on mount Rushmore lmfao
WHAT!?
Lol the bug bumper!! When we did our 25002500Roadtrip last year we got caught in a EPIC Butterfly storm across South Dakota! The carnage was BAD!
Excellent comedic timing, getting a lot of golden days of Top Gear vibes here
This video made me so homesick. I was born in Washington and lived there up until a few years ago. I had a trip planned to go back back in March for two back to back weekend weddings, but everyone knows why that didn't happen.
You're making me homesick. I live in VA now, but I'm from Washington State.
9:42 - 11:05 was the most beautiful edit I’ve ever come across.
2:40 im screaming
Guys you are all awesome and this videos are super fun to watch and i can't express the beautiful shots that camerman is doing in them props to ya all
I live in Washington and you just pointed out our struggles. Lots of cops and no E85😂😂
I thought that your videos were great when I was watching them on my phone. I saw this on my TV for the first time. Wow!! You guys know how to make amazing videos!
So glad you didn't get pulled over for holding the phone without a handsfree headset. If you plan on doing something like this again you should get a Blue Parrot or Blue Tiger. No matter how loud the gas car is, the person on the other side would never know!
I "feel" like a Celebrity, since I HAPPILY/PROUDLY have ALWAYS lived/resided in Washington State!
Missed y'all by 3 days with my "Family Visit" from Bremerton to Ellensburg that started on 07-18 (to Ellensburg), and back to Bremerton (on 07-20 @ 9pm "for Sunset & Traffic in Tacoma Reasons"...
Sadly, y'all didnt drive to Aberdeen, Wa (Ocean Shores)! -Nice calming drive!
this is what Top Gear used to be, really great video!
for all its problems.. merica sure is beautiful!! Hope to do this some day!!
Went from Minnesota to Oregon in a 2013 Model S a few weeks before you. Cool seeing the Murdo, SD stop. Yes, beautiful state and LOTS of bugs! My favorite video segment you guys have done yet.
