I love that our whole family gets to benefit from this forever! She was terrified but I couldn't be happier that she came along for the ride. I had been pestering her for almost a year to ride along with me during an episode, and this Lamborghini was the perfect choice! Chris was so kind to allow it! Long live racing grannies!!!!!
Nicole the ending was he best part for me. This guy Chris is very cool to let you wreck I mean drive his Lambo. Mom was the best part for me though. If your dad could see you now. great video
"Slow down, honey." Uh, sorry mom, that's not how racing works.😆 Great video, Nicole. Your production values are easily as good or better than anything on TV.
First Lambo Video I have ever enjoyed! Just sayin ..... Seriously, there was time to take in everything and accept that nothing is "for show" - it's all "go" - function following form. But good looking too. That colour makes all the difference. Thanks Nicole!
I used to have my mom along every now and then. I'd go into a slide and I'd glance over at her and she'd be wedged into the corner with a little smirk on her face. It was interesting to learn that my mother had a little devil inside.
Nicole you are a real Star...... You have me Smiling and Crying at the same time.... But your Mom Is amazing, to sit in a car with a Nutter Driving take some guts.... Bless you all :-))) xxxxx
A client tossed me the keys to a "regular " Huracan. I ride bullet bikes: and I instantly understood what all the fuss is about. Spectacular engineering. That's "why?"fellow car people... Hyper enjoyed the thing. Btw, same color. Just a killer rush of a mechanical tour de force. Mick can't get no satisfaction, but if you get a chance...You can...lol... Superb video Nikky J. I look forward to viewing them. Something in the way she moves. .
Love It!! You and Chris have great on screen chemistry, keep the collaborations coming !, and your poor mom getting thrown around in the lambo, pretty hilarious
Miss , Nicole . Great video and awesome driving . I hope grandma didn't wet her shorts . LOL super car there is a road about 9 miles long not far from my house . I'd love to see what that car could do on it . Hot tires , good day no traffic . Have a great day miss Nicole you rock . Terry Lembke
That was cool Nicole. Once in a lifetime experience that you got to have with your mom. Well dome. And Chris, Very good of you to "share" your beautiful Lambo for a bit. I hope the GT40 is next.
Chris is so laid back! Another cool episode with excellent driving skills. Your mom being in the car brought back a memory of my mom riding in my 67 Cuda, 340 4spd 456 gears. She asked is this this car fast? As I downshifted to 2nd and floored it her scream was louder than the exhaust and tires spinning.
@@joshschneider9766 They're pretty different beasts... crawling is slow and you have more time to think. One thing hasn't changed though... I'm good at hitting cones!
Nicole Johnson's Detour is, and I say this with the intent of it being the highest possible honour, the Tom Scott of car videos! So much knowledge, so much enthusiasm, so much variety! I definitely don't know enough to keep up with all of the more in-depth car talk but the way this channel is filmed, delivered, edited and presented means that none of that is a barrier to entry at all! One of the only car channels I watch now, an even smaller number if you count channels with commentary that aren't just cinematic videos.
Totally got that Ford vs Ferrari, Carroll Shelby-Henry Ford II scene in my head now! That wasn’t acting, it was reacting, exactly like your mom. And she must be so proud of you. Great stuff, Nicole & team.
Back in the 80's I worked in the Gray Market in Orange County, CA. And some of the wildest stuff we worked on were the Lamborghini Countach's. We had a chassis dyno at one end of the shop and to hear a Lambo running wide open man it was something else for sure. I bought a brand new 1985 Ford Mustang GT on Dec.24,1984. The first long trip I took was to see my Great Aunt and Uncle who lived in Paso Robles, CA. On the way back home we stopped for gas and I asked my Late Dad if he wanted to drive he said sure. So we get back on the freeway now Dad had never driven my car before this trip. We are going along and he gives the car a "little" to much gas and it shoves him back in the seat which was still set for me Dad was a bit shorter than me . He looks over at me and I tell him You might wanna think about shifting sometime soon. So the next off ramp we get off the freeway and he says you can drive the rest of the way back home. He never did drive my car after that. I miss you very much Dad. But the look on his face was Priceless.
Awesome driving Nicole. I think your Mum was very brave and I assume a little sore afterwards. The rear wheel drive is the drivers choice - so much more excitement than all-wheel drive. Hope to see Chris on the Channel again. Thanks Nicole.
Seeing a li'l old lady toolin' along in a sports car was an item on MY bucket list. I got to check that one off when I was in college, when I passed a Trans Am traveling at a leisurely pace on the highway one day and saw it was being driven by an elderly lady. So I then added an item to the list: I want to see a li'l old lady BURNIN' UP THE ROAD in a sports car. When I started watching this video, I was hoping your mom would knock that one off my list, but alas, watching her white-knuckled in the passenger seat doesn't count. But at least she got to see up close and personal the amazing work her daughter does! And it was still awesome watching you and Chris autocross that Lambo.
I hope you have Chris on again. He seems like he's such a great guy. Looking at his wish list, my parents had a '68 Charger with the 440 Magnum. Not a Hemi but that thing was still fast. They sold it before I was old enough to drive it though.
@@chrisashton7133 My parents sold it to one of my sister's high school friend and he totaled it the first week he had it because he didn't know how to handle the power.
You are a rock star! I know I mentioned this after the last episode, but thank you for showing everyone how much fun AutoX can be. It is really difficult to show how aggressive it is without having them ride in the passenger seat. Taking your mom for a ride was an awesome way to show how much fun it can be. Thanks again for the hard "work". I'm a fan.
"Fishnet stockings" - great comment Nicole! Thank you for another great episode. Sno Dawg ~ still waiting to hear about your FJ40 BTW - your mom's reaction was so amazing!!
Great video. This is a very cool dude,, make sure you bring him back again. I have to say it Nicole you are easy on the eyes 👀. Keep them vids coming you are a hell of a driver!! And the content is 👍🏻👍🏻
awesome you brought your mom :) , shows real character , think you have two things for your own list now; build your own auto cross vehicle, and let Chris give it a run. or maybe your own Ruffian car??? :)
Nicole! You looked like you had a blast in that video! What a great production! Chris is such a cool guy! Would love to meet him! Your mother is sweet and is as beautiful as you! I have a great idea. When you get more videos of cars and folks done, do a video of some of us (I volunteer as one of your first videos.) and do a shootout! Drag race, autocross race, whatever. Maybe a trifecta of events. What ya think!!???
Thanks for showing the "outtake" of the spin. Now I don't feel quite so bad about seeing someone jump in a car for the first time and turn in some very quick times! So, Nicole, do believe drivers are born with it, or can one learn to become a competitively skilled racer?
Fantastic episode Nicole! You and Chris are fun to watch and he seems like a pretty amazing guy. I’m not the biggest fan of Lamborghini’s latest run of supercars, but this one is incredible and given your expressions it is clearly a riot to drive. As for your Mom, she’s fantastic! She is clearly a courageous gal and seeing how she was half in tears and half laughing hysterically at the end of the run. Please tell her some ‘ol guy she’s never met thinks she’s a rock star. Thanks for sharing this with us!
She reads all the comments, too, and she'll love this! We appreciate that you enjoyed our experiences with this car, and we agree that Chris is pretty amazing!
I get such a kick out of this show. Everything about it is wonderful. Between this and Vice Grip Garage, I get all the car goodness I'll ever need! And your mom was absolutely great. Tell her she's such a trooper!!
Great episode as always, especially seeing you able to share the fun with your mom! My greatest wish would be able to get my wife into the passenger seat of my race car in one of our charity races, but she’s always declined. It’s definitely a thrill several degrees above auto x-ing in an empty parking lot one car at a time.
this is by far my most favourite channel, only 1 of 2 (out of over 300 subs) I have notifications set to on! Love your enthusiasm & your mum was great in this one.
Just found this from your FB post on the Solo Nats page - thanks for posting there as this was awesome to watch! You've earned yourself one more subscriber! And yes - you definitely need more collabs with Chris. What an awesome on screen duo you make :)
Wow! Thank you so much for checking out the channel and subscribing. If you enjoyed this, check out the episode where we autocross Chris' Mustang. Good times and I agree we need more of Chris on the channel!!! th-cam.com/video/upjTm-BxEJE/w-d-xo.html
You can tell Nicole has racing in her blood just by the look of shear concentration she gets on her face the second she gets the green flag. She is definitely in the moment and in her element and giving all of the guys a run for their money. One thing that impresses me about Nicole is her ability to sit down in a car she has never driven before and drive it like she owns it. Get after it girl.
I remember when I was in my 20s I had a group of car buddy's that I would hang out with. Anytime one of us would get a new car, we would be all over it asking questions, admiring the engine, sitting in the driver seat etc. This reminded me of those days, more than a review this was a car enthusiast admiring their friends ride! Loved it!
Your mother is a good sport. I think it takes a lot more courage to ride as a passenger than a driver I enjoy all of your videos. You go for quality not quantity
After the lap with your mom, I instantly thought about the scene in Ford vs Ferrari when Shelby took Ford for a ride in the prototype GT-40. Hilarious! Outtakes at the end are a must!
Nicole, your ability to communicate, your knowledge, spunk and having fun, bringing people together, showing the love to everyone is just infectious, and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for all you do!!! I feel like I’m there with you in all your drives! 😊
Brings back a lot of memories of Autocrossing. Many years of some of the most thrilling driving. It is amazing how thrilling it can be when you have a car riding on the edge for 30 to 90 seconds at 25-30 MPH. I had my wife ride with me once ( only once), 25 sec run, 1st place in E stock in a Fiat X19 and it was 15 minutes before the tremors eased off enough for her to even get out of the car. Of all the racing I did I think I may have enjoyed Autocrossing the most.
You really are getting good at solemn courses, not that you are not a good driver anyways.I saw you drive in the advanced auto truck before,and what a laid-back humble guy Chris is.
Wow.. your mom is definitely a trooper. But what really impresses me is that you get it. By that I mean that some people have fun with a sport, others work hard at a sport, but not everyone grasps that the most enjoyment can come from the greatest commitment. I love how even though you're in someone else's bagillion dollar car, you're on camera, and this is your livelihood, when you get the green, you shut everything out and drive. I find myself calculating and anticipating while I'm watching like I'm the one behind the wheel and when you hit the mark, I'm sitting here going "YEAH!!" A lover will always out do a worker. It's obvious you love what you do and it's really, really cool that you're sharing it with us. Thanks Nicole! Keep it shiny side up. 👍
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Absolutely! Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today..." It's still today and we're all in this life together.
How did I miss this video?? So much fun, and taking mum for a ride, made me chuckle. I did autocross back in the 80's and this brings back so many memories...
Great to see another episode Nicole. Can’t wait for the next one. I’m going to check out the merch maybe buy a hat or shirt. Would be cool to see you do and episode on maybe Chevrolet muscle cars. Specifically Camaro 67 through 70. Just a thought.
21:27 Mom: "OMG, Slow down honey" Nicole (in her mind only): I"M PUSHING THE LIMITS! GO!!! By far the best line in the video. You need to bring Mom on more thrill ride videos.
The 'driving me crazy' reminded me of the relationship I had with my own late Mum, when she passed I realised how alike we are. 🙂 Great video as always. 👍
"Driving Me Crazy!" Yes!!! hahahaha...love that you brought your mom along and that she was game : ) And, Chris is groovy. ...came from hard knocks, worked hard through it and is humble and thankful...very cool!!!
i used to live directly across from a shop that serviced exotic cars. the guys there were friendly, and let me come over and look at some of the cars. when you made that face @ 11:59, i thought "I KNOW THAT FEELING!!!" your mom is adorable, and the two of you together on the track was great! i'm glad i subscribed
Nicole’s son here. I have never seen my Grandma in any of my mom’s race cars. This was really cool to see!
Hell yea Georgia!
I love that our whole family gets to benefit from this forever! She was terrified but I couldn't be happier that she came along for the ride. I had been pestering her for almost a year to ride along with me during an episode, and this Lamborghini was the perfect choice! Chris was so kind to allow it! Long live racing grannies!!!!!
Just like a scary roller coaster ride! Such a rush! She's very brave and a beautiful person to hang out with for a day. ❤️
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour if your Mom is willing, it would be great to see more "Driving Me Crazy" episodes.
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour I bet she'd have loved being in the 500hp Mini. Seeing her reaction to the lap is completely awesome though.
Your moms hot af dude.
Nicole the ending was he best part for me. This guy Chris is very cool to let you wreck I mean drive his Lambo. Mom was the best part for me though. If your dad could see you now. great video

"Break the 4th wall." Cool vid. It was really funny to see your mom's reactions.
Yes!!! 4th wall... not third!! LOLOL I'm glad my mom came along!
Taking your mom along for a ride was awesome. She’s a trooper.
Yes, she needed a little convincing, but I'm so glad she decided to do it!!
I used to have my mom along every now and then. I'd go into a slide and I'd glance over at her and she'd be wedged into the corner with a little smirk on her face. It was interesting to learn that my mother had a little devil inside.
See... I knew you couldn't stay away from autocross. ....You're hooked.
I think you're right!
Glad to see grandma getting some seat time! I think next time she gets to drive!
Yes..It would be me doing the screaming if we let her drive!!
I love these two together. Ya'll should collab more often. Nicole's mom in the mix was very entertaining. Thank you!

You are one ace driver - and hell ya, the sound of this Lambo is special !
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate you watching!!
What a great episode the chemistry and reactions are the best and your Mom gotta love her reaction too loving this channel more every time I watch it
Thank you so much..glad you enjoyed it!!
Another great episode! Love that you had your mom on the show and she rode along!! Your mom is a very good sport 😊
Yes she is..although..it took me months to convince her to ride along!!
that fourth run was super smooth. you may have a bright future in racing ahead...
Thank you..it was so much fun!!
Just found this from your FB post on the Solo Nats page - thanks for posting there as this was awesome to watch! You've earned yourself one more subscriber! And yes - you definitely need more collabs with Chris. What an awesome on screen duo you make :)
Wow! Thank you so much for checking out the channel and subscribing. If you enjoyed this, check out the episode where we autocross Chris' Mustang. Good times and I agree we need more of Chris on the channel!!! th-cam.com/video/upjTm-BxEJE/w-d-xo.html
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Yesssssssss!!!
That. Was. AWESOME! Love all your videos, thanks for bringing us this one.
Our pleasure!
You can tell Nicole has racing in her blood just by the look of shear concentration she gets on her face the second she gets the green flag. She is definitely in the moment and in her element and giving all of the guys a run for their money. One thing that impresses me about Nicole is her ability to sit down in a car she has never driven before and drive it like she owns it. Get after it girl.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment!! We appreciate you watching!!
My great grandmother's key fob read "Women Drivers" (reverse side) "drive just like men, but get blamed for it!" Nicole is cut from the same cloth ☺️
The dude is awesome! Sure, you can drive my Lamborghini! Wow! Mind blown!
Hahaha yes, that's exactly how I felt when I got the invite to drive and race it!
Nice car, your mom had a blast while testing her heart, cool owner, very nice video always fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I remember when I was in my 20s I had a group of car buddy's that I would hang out with. Anytime one of us would get a new car, we would be all over it asking questions, admiring the engine, sitting in the driver seat etc.
This reminded me of those days, more than a review this was a car enthusiast admiring their friends ride! Loved it!
That's so nice...thank you! We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
Your mother is a good sport. I think it takes a lot more courage to ride as a passenger than a driver
I enjoy all of your videos. You go for quality not quantity
Thank you very much! We're so glad you're enjoying our channel!!
The tech is OK but from a driver...love to see a driver pressing/learning. Good one, and a plus for mom
Thanks for recognizing that! There's always a learning curve to a new car!
After the lap with your mom, I instantly thought about the scene in Ford vs Ferrari when Shelby took Ford for a ride in the prototype GT-40. Hilarious! Outtakes at the end are a must!
We're glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
100% agree with Chris that STO looks better in dark colors than bright colors.
Heck yeah! The best! Glad you agree!
Nicole, your ability to communicate, your knowledge, spunk and having fun, bringing people together, showing the love to everyone is just infectious, and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for all you do!!! I feel like I’m there with you in all your drives! 😊
Wow, thank you! You just made my day!!
What a precious, hilarious, terrifying time with your mom! Love this!!!
Aww..thank you!! Glad you liked it!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour thank you! You made a very bad day much better and I saved watching your video until I could really take the time to enjoy it.
What an awesome 🚗 🚘, and Lambrogranny...fun....
Thanks for watching..glad you enjoyed it!!
That was totally awesome I love watching your programs do you sell those license plates it’s on the car right now if you do I want to get me one
What a cool guy.
Super cool!! Thanks for watching!!
Dang! Makes me want to go out and autocross my OWN...um...Grand Marquis.
You should do it!! It's so much fun!!
Brings back a lot of memories of Autocrossing. Many years of some of the most thrilling driving. It is amazing how thrilling it can be when you have a car riding on the edge for 30 to 90 seconds at 25-30 MPH. I had my wife ride with me once ( only once), 25 sec run, 1st place in E stock in a Fiat X19 and it was 15 minutes before the tremors eased off enough for her to even get out of the car. Of all the racing I did I think I may have enjoyed Autocrossing the most.
Nice comment...love it!! Thanks for sharing with us!!!
Great show!!!
Lov the Report between you guys looks & sounds like you guys are really having fun ….
Keep them coming
Thanks for watching..glad you enjoyed it!!
You really are getting good at solemn courses, not that you are not a good driver anyways.I saw you drive in the advanced auto truck before,and what a laid-back humble guy Chris is.
Wow that's going back a decade if you saw me in Grinder!! Thanks for watching and following my career!!!
Your mom was screaming and you never let off, awesome.
Haha..I actually couldn't even hear her!!
No mercy!!!!
love your mom , and i think you have checked off more bucket list things than most people ever will, keep at it.
Thank you!! We appreciate you watching!!
Wow.. your mom is definitely a trooper. But what really impresses me is that you get it. By that I mean that some people have fun with a sport, others work hard at a sport, but not everyone grasps that the most enjoyment can come from the greatest commitment. I love how even though you're in someone else's bagillion dollar car, you're on camera, and this is your livelihood, when you get the green, you shut everything out and drive. I find myself calculating and anticipating while I'm watching like I'm the one behind the wheel and when you hit the mark, I'm sitting here going "YEAH!!" A lover will always out do a worker. It's obvious you love what you do and it's really, really cool that you're sharing it with us. Thanks Nicole! Keep it shiny side up. 👍
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed watching..and I truly appreciate your kind words!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Absolutely! Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today..." It's still today and we're all in this life together.
Chris is such a laid back dude......loved the brush outtake at the end. Your mom handled the speeds surprisingly well!
We're glad you enjoyed watching! Thank you!
Mom reactions is the best 😂😂😂😂
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Terrific episode! I agree with others, continue to collaborate with Chris.
Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching!! I'm pretty sure we'll see more of Chris!!
Dang, that's awesome! Thanks for the kind words!!! I hope we get to team up again soon. Nicole and the Detour team are a blast to hang out with!
Such a good video!! It was a blast being out there with you and the family. Can't wait till next time. The lil Miata photo bombed a few times 😂.
We all had a blast with this shoot!! Was nice meeting your family!!
How did I miss this video?? So much fun, and taking mum for a ride, made me chuckle. I did autocross back in the 80's and this brings back so many memories...
Glad you enjoyed watching!!!
Thanx Chris for showing the Lambo 🙂👍🏻
Glad you watched it!!! Thank YOU!!!!
Great to see another episode Nicole. Can’t wait for the next one. I’m going to check out the merch maybe buy a hat or shirt. Would be cool to see you do and episode on maybe Chevrolet muscle cars. Specifically Camaro 67 through 70. Just a thought.
Awesome! Thank you! I like the way you think...we're always looking!!
21:27 Mom: "OMG, Slow down honey"
Nicole (in her mind only): I"M PUSHING THE LIMITS! GO!!!
By far the best line in the video. You need to bring Mom on more thrill ride videos.
Haha..I actually didn't even hear what she said!! Thank you for watching..glad you enjoyed it!
The 'driving me crazy' reminded me of the relationship I had with my own late Mum, when she passed I realised how alike we are. 🙂 Great video as always. 👍
That's sweet!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
"Driving Me Crazy!" Yes!!! hahahaha...love that you brought your mom along and that she was game : ) And, Chris is groovy. ...came from hard knocks, worked hard through it and is humble and thankful...very cool!!!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!!
i used to live directly across from a shop that serviced exotic cars. the guys there were friendly, and let me come over and look at some of the cars. when you made that face @ 11:59, i thought "I KNOW THAT FEELING!!!"
your mom is adorable, and the two of you together on the track was great! i'm glad i subscribed
Awesome!! Thank you so much for the sub! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!
That looked like it was a lot of fun
It was! Thanks for watching!
