@@N12Gautam That's something you never have to do, just because taking someone to the hospital in your car can be dangerous if the guy is injured. Best thing you can do is call an ambulance, and try to keep the guy safe and stable, and let the paramedic do their job. Also, the guy could put a lawsuit on them for not calling an ambulance.
your comment made me click before the vid even started, and then the superb cinematics and great storytelling just kept me going, kinda sad I clicked it now :D
The ambulances in San Diego, some, have a supercharged 5.4 in them to deal with the weight. I wonder if the suspension was beefed more for this. I'd have fun
The fact that this accident occurred on the bend where you were filming, makes it so much important and the guy who was involved in this accident, provided that he survived and saw this video, he will definitely be grateful for the prompt response the cameraman took right after it happened.
Sadly it could be argued because they were there it happened. Target fixation on someone that looks to be holding a speed gun. I hope he's okay and that's the end of it.
there are daily cycling crashes on the dragon, and several turns through the course will have photographers set up with tents to snap photographs to motorists who are passing thru and sell them on their website. it's a busy place. accidents happen but i wouldn't blame it on the guys filming.
@@FerdinandReisch You must have never driven the Dragon. There are Professional Photographers at 3 or 4 of the turns taking pictures that you can then buy on their website. I have some good action shots of my Toyota Tundra doing the Dragon when I accidentally took that route on a work trip.
@@juhokokkonen6518So it's said that the fastest man on The Dragon drives a red RX7, people that know of him usually call him the King or the Dragon King. He's been driving that road for decades and according to the locals nobody can touch him...
@@juhokokkonen6518 I know right! Old man Keisuke lol, I've only seen him once in person but if you hadn't heard the stories from the locals you'd almost never guess how fast the guy really is.
@@DevasionX i am about to get a 2003 Civic 5 door. It will last long and its surprisingly peppy. 150Nm of torque by a 105hp engine. Sounds perfectly fine to me!
It takes a long time to cover the 11 miles especially at the posted 30mph. If the state people were smart, they'd do what the Germans did with the Nurburgring. Make the road a single direction toll road with a 30mph speed advisory but no tickets being issued if you exceed the speed advisory. Charge $25 per entry or a $1,600 unlimited entry yearly pass The income would go to maintenance and Emergency and Fire services.
The thing about the Dragon and the other roads in the areas is that the police will nab people for going egregiously over the limit, but there's a catch to the whole thing. When I was there, one of my friends who was leading the group got clocked at 85 in a 30. But on the Dragon, the cops will pretty much always knock it down to a 5 or 10 over unless you're being an asshole. They do this because they know you're spending money on local businesses and are essentially tourism money for the area, which trickles back into their department. So they don't want you to go away, they just want their extra cut (i.e, the speeding ticket). They're super nice about it too. They'll shoot the shit with you about your car and just tell you to be safe and use common sense.
if only i could go on a road trip again, oh wait they are miserable if you dont have a 2nd opr 3rd car to carry your shit so i was driving a 05 mustang gt with camping shit that would last weeks, so uneven weight and my car wasnt track ready, it was on all seasons and bald tires. i hate that my car want ready for shit but this was febuary on a trip to canada for a 2 week long camping trip.
Great video. You guys are great at story telling and the video work that you do. This channel is one of the reasons why I decided to dabble in photography and filming.
The best part of this whole video is when they caught an actual footage of an accident on camera yet did not use that scene as a clickbait to get views. You guys have all my respect! This video deserves everything they've worked to pull this out. God bless ya'll.
For all the haters of low HP cars.. it's not all always about having huge HP. It's how drive and make the most of it with what you got. But most importantly let's have fun in the twisties SAFELY.
Saw some dude in a stock Euro spec S13 a week or two ago. He had a slap sticker on his bumper that said "Low Power Heroes" and I've been looking for it ever since.
preludeF20Bking yes on corners. When you are entering a corner braking is important, when you are exiting a corner acceleration is important. When you are taking the corner grip is important. Most sports cars with any power have electronic stability control which will make it easier to take sharp corners while still having the power behind them to reach peak speeds to take a turn.
preludeF20Bking civic doesn’t even handle good around turns either because it is front wheel drive. RWD/AWD(with differential, most power in the rear) are better around turns in general because they can apply power without sacrificing their peak grip on the front tires.
Its just taught us that "you don't need to have very expensive super car to enjoy the road, and the car it self". Really loving that vtec and supercharge sound. Hope you guys are always well and safe on the trip
Change the PCV valve on the Civic and pray its not the rings, thats worth changing since its a 10$ part and could lead to excessive oil consumption if u dont have a leak in any other part of the engine like valve cover or oil pan seal. Oil consumption is not normal unless the rings are bad or the pcv valve gets clogged, i changed the pcv valve on a civic and on a corolla i had (both of them were consuming lots of oil) and it worked on both, the oil level was spot on ever since. Good luck man!
you guys are driving super close to each other with no reason. Give each other some space, it will be more enjoyable and more importantly, it will be more safe. Awesome video guys. I really enjoyed it
I would like to take this time to mention that the EK9 sounds sooooooo gooooood. Smooth, but with just enough rawness to it to be assertive, but not overly aggressive.
I had Honda Accord 2007 2.4l with I-Vtec and traveled 240000 km on it. Oil changes were every 7500 km. And oil level was always on max. Never needed to add oil. I think it was one the best cars, that I had. Fun to drive, reliable and good looking.
Your video production is second to none and this adventure takes your work to the next level. This channel is the perfect emulation for car people to share their own experiences with others. I have yet to find another form of media that demonstrates those special and personal car moments that are near impossible to convey otherwise. Must be such a rewarding feeling to have your passion hit home with likewise people around the world.
I absolutely love this channel and as a Canadian, Speed Academy is one of my favourite car channels on TH-cam this collab and hopefully the next one is such a dream come true! :D Keep up the amazing work! I just hope they put out a track video alongside yours... ;)
Hondas doesn't aways burn oil, it can also mean that you're leaking oil through your head gasket or oil pan gasket or if you can't find it it's probably vtec solenoid and if you're still having problem after that you need a catch can.
Exactly, I thrashed both my 20-25 year old B series and didn't have oil consumption issues. But I did take care when it came to maintenance. That's where others fail.
So apparently the speed limit used to be 55 on that road, then down to 40, then down to 30. Also, SEMI TRUCKS used to drive on it because it was a popular bypass. They finally banned semi trucks and trailers over 30-35(?) feet sometime during the 2000s because motorcyclists were getting clipped by trailers crossing the double yellow. It's a very fun road, and my favorite part is the two dips where the "DIP" sign is. I think MATG 2017 had over 500 Miatas. Was a great time.
10:20 not sure why I got so excited to see Cincinnati Ohio on video since I drive that bridge from Nastynati into KY and into Cincinnati again pretty much everyday, but made me real happy. Keep up the great work y’all
I went and gone to visit TOTD with my two other buddies [ND/BRZ] One of the reasons why I went is because of this video and you guys. Thank you for your time; for making videos.
YES!! I love your stuff, and these road trips are always fun! I thought you might make a joke about where to store the miata's hardtop while in FL... where did it go?? in the back of the civic??
I don't usually watch TH-cam in full screen mode because I switch windows frequently, but I have to watch your videos full screen. They are so cinematic and well done. Love this channel!
Miata hardtop latch: if you open the latch all the way, there's an adjustment screw in there to tighten it up. Also make sure your rear connections are the frankenstein bolts are solid. Remove the screw from the chrome cover and swivel the top half of the cover, then you can use a wrench to tighten the nylon clamp that rests against the frankenstein bolt. Miata feeling loose - yes, being a convertible it can feel floppy at times, but a set of Flying Miata frame rails and butterfly brace really tighten things up tremendously. No idea why it didn't come factory like that.
Never heard of this channel until a few days ago. Absolutely loved this series and can't wait to see the next one. As someone who has made this trip in not only my fully built Civic Type R Clone, but in my WRX as well, I have mad respect for you guys! I must have gotten lucky both times because I did nothing but put gas in each car and change the oil at the destination and before leaving. But being those places in your OWN vehicle really does make all the difference. You form a new bond with your car(s) and become proud of their accomplishments just as if they were your children. Would love to meet up with ya the next time you stop at Alki Beach in Seattle for that sweet view. The city changes at night, becomes a ghost town and all the busy roads during the day open up and make for some really fun runs around the city, especially through the new i90 tunnel. Off to watch the next series!
Pro tip for the valve tick on the yata, just use Rotella 0-40. My 92 would make a tick with most lighter synthetic oils even right after a fresh change.
@@alexstromberg7696 Its okay to run, its easier to find a higher viscosity, has better detergant additives and better anti-wear traits generally. Pretty much every miata in my city runs it
Tail of the Dragon is such an amazing road. The cops mostly leave you alone so long as you're not excessively exceeding the speed limit, and keep it between the mustard and mayo. Hope the guy on the motorcycle was okay. Last time I ran it, a Miata went flying off the side and the driver was alive but pretty banged up.
I drove the Tail Of The Dragon in consecutive years on my road trips to Key West, FL and Nova Scotia. There are also some great other roads in the area.

They actually dread calls from hwy 129, because often crashes are much worse. People get scrubbed off of that road often.
The fact that this accident occurred on the bend where you were filming, makes it so much important and the guy who was involved in this accident, provided that he survived and saw this video, he will definitely be grateful for the prompt response the cameraman took right after it happened.
That guy was booking it to the scene, props
He has survived and is feeling well, apparently. He left a comment under this video. (I think the pinned one)

It was bothering me so much that you bought two quarts of oil at $10 a piece rather than just getting the 5 quarts for a bit more ha
Doubt they had to pay for it. Advanced is sponsoring them and single quarts are easier to carry and easier to measure when just topping up.
He bought a horse for $20. Whats $10/quart oil?

Imagine getting stuck behind an overly cautious driver on the tail of the dragon
Pit maneuver
I didn't know this track was so closed to NJ. I guess I can add this to my bucket list!
Wow I'm actually early. I love this series (and the last one) so much!
@16:53 nice hockey puck on the jack there, I use a similar one.
My honda never burned oil. I feel this is a way to shoehorn in more Advance Auto Parts stops.. Call me a cynic
Oh wow!! I wasn't expecting that in the middle of the video! That's so incredible you guys had to film it! O_O
Tail of the dragon in a Ford Expedition is not fun in case anyone was wondering.
Man the sound of Honda's are amazing
Next road trip you do is Honda Accord 1997 and Nissan Sentra 97 or Toyota Corolla 1997
How about 1996 Corolla
Pro tip for the valve tick on the yata, just use Rotella 0-40. My 92 would make a tick with most lighter synthetic oils even right after a fresh change.
isn't that a diesel oil.
@@alexstromberg7696 Its okay to run, its easier to find a higher viscosity, has better detergant additives and better anti-wear traits generally. Pretty much every miata in my city runs it
Just put some 10w60 instead of that 5w30.. that's why the car burns so much oil.
Tail of the Dragon is such an amazing road. The cops mostly leave you alone so long as you're not excessively exceeding the speed limit, and keep it between the mustard and mayo. Hope the guy on the motorcycle was okay. Last time I ran it, a Miata went flying off the side and the driver was alive but pretty banged up.
I’m a Miata owner myself and I am confident! That the Honda is faster. Lol but who is the better driver, is the question?
I drove the Tail Of The Dragon in consecutive years on my road trips to Key West, FL and Nova Scotia. There are also some great other roads in the area.
