Dude i'm not even joking I love the type of video's you've been doing the past couple of videos the vlog mixed with car stuff is amazing. :)

Taylor found his niche (;

Totally agree. Even the house Reno's was good to watch

[@canadianclassics]

He’s really relatable and sticks to builds that are affordable I love that about his channel

Have Adam plug the driftvette giveaway?

Normaly these are relief lines so the tarmac does not damages itself thrue temperature changes

[@gmc__tanner1192]

MJM I thought those go across the road not with it. I could be wrong tho.

[@zachdy]

They should do that here in Canada. Roads become so cracked from winter

[@Sakkemora]

Really liked the last vid with the housetour, please keep us updated on the house/garage stuff!

[@pizzazombie5209]

Congrats on getting moved in! I loved seeing your new place and the progress made in the last video. So motivating and inspirational. Never would've thought I'd be into home remodeling videos, but I dig it! I'm totally into more non-car progress in your vlogs.

[@jackmaboi5231]

I love all these videos where it’s errands/house/car stuff. And I’m excited for the future videos

[@sarom058s]

I believe it's an expansion joint in the concrete. As time goes on, and the underlying ground moves around with erosion/other natural forces, the concrete will crack if there isn't some wiggle room. It's a fairly common practice, California does it perpendicular to the driving surface (because their ground moves a lot more mostly), but it's super annoying because the level/angle of each piece you drive over changes so your car bumps around a bunch. Anyway love the videos man!

[@Solucerus]

Gas gets jacked around here, Brave going with a non-locking cap! Those cuts are there after they work on the lines that run beneath the road. Sewage, power, tele-comms all that stuff. Could also be a very long road patch to fix old concrete.

[@marttrev4]

The line in the road is created during the paving period. The shoulders are usually put in first and the main lanes are put in second. Its generally the weakest point in the road and can wear away quickly due to heat, rain, and general wear.

[@alimvinca2998]

Man Taylor I remember that time you dropped that one vlog where you told us all about your step mom and your father god rest his soul but that was a very low point you showed us and now seeing you smile and just seeing you this happy and at your highest point is amazing Taylor it’s been awesome to watch you

[@Pure_walrus]

Tbh Taylor do not be afraid to put more ads on your videos!!. You are one of very few youtubers i would not care about ammount of ads. I wanna support you as much as possible

[@FlavorTree]

The "cuts" are asphalt joints. The paver is only so wide so its where the paves in rows and it butts up together

[@fryingpan1]

Honestly one the best car KZbinrs there isn't doesn't throw a bunch at it cash at something when it doesn't work finds the cheapest way to do it yourself keep it up man

[@nicholasbilyk7642]

Those lines in the pavement are most likely SawCut lines, that help/prevent the road from cracking due to temperature or moisture changes. They have them all over the place in Canada to prevent the road from freeze / thawing and breaking up.

[@shaolincruz2891]

This new change off content is like that excitement you feel when get a new car !! Your just so FUCKING EXCITED to drive it wrench on it etc. I'm stocked TAYLOR!! I hope you make it to pbir on Sept 15 really looking forward to kick it with you again and hopefully get a ride along! 🤙✊👊

[@simonrosen3972]

the line is from the machine that lays down the road, since it is not wide enough it has to do 2 runs 1 large and on half :)

[@Bataleon2320]

close. it actually does 3 runs. the machine is only wide enough to do 1 full lane. so the yellow emergency side needs to have some room to. if you look in the middle of the rode on the left lane there is a Passover. & on the far right, the one Taylor is talking about it is the 3rd side.

[@muffindestroyr]

You are both wrong a paving machince can pave up to 16 ft i do road work so i know what im talking aboit and thoss lines are from someone running on rim

[@dethdeks]

that line is from when they pave the road, the paver is only so wide so they do multiple passe's to go the full width. that would be just not getting the outside pass close enough

[@jameselander132]

The line is the joint between 2 different passes of the paper laying down asphalt. Often this introduces a weak point where the road fails- as the joint widens it's called 'raveling'.

[@TheZombieRebel]

Loving the "life" vlogs! Keep killin it!🔥

[@Suidloc]

Don't worry too much about sounding a bit tired or depressed, we're people too and we understand some of the situations you're going through. Making big moves and changes, keep it up man.

[@352cars2]

Ya the cuts in the highway are from people riding rims after blowing tires ...i live on main state road and witnessed this first hand..lol...but could be caused by other things dragging behind vehicles too

[@newtc]

"Cut in the asphalt" is a seam of the different layers of roadway as they can't lay down a solid edge to edge surface much like your flooring in the house. These seams get exaggerated with rain, hot and cold weather expanding them.

[@micro2877]

that line could be something as simple as a cable (telephony, power[unlikely], possibly a water line) alternatively it could be testing has been done across that whole section to determine good spot and bad spot in the road (strong and weak spots) to determine if the tarmac needs to be re laid to strengthen the road.

[@efjr1239]

Hell yeah, I’m gunna love the new daily vlogs Taylor!

[@jadeepstein431]

DUDE!!!! THE BLACK FENDERS LOOKED WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!! That's how I would recognize your car at Grid!

[@tylert558]

i believe the cut in the road is done by DOT so when the concrete expands and all it doesn't crack and causes chunks... it is meant as a pressure release for the concrete.....

[@CrippledMerc]

I would imagine the lines in the road are from them repairing the edge from wear and erosion damage or maybe widening the road a little bit to give more of a shoulder. Those are just guesses though.

[@douglasm1552]

Duramax has a 26 or 36 gallon tank. Light comes on at 20 gallons used, so you can go a lot further

Love the content mate! Keep it up, can’t wait to see what full time KZbin does to this channel!

[@ludovicclaeys4644]

Bcs i'm pretty sure that i know what the black lines are on asfalt (8:00 ) let me tell you: when they put the asfalt down they can't always do the whole road in once. They make some strips. The Point where those strips come together are those black lines. It's something they at between it, i think it's a kind of rubber. Not sure if this is correct but that's what i've heared it is. Btw, love your vids, keep them going

[@shampooglue]

Been watching your videos for a while, i think what your doing is really cool, your editing/music/content is awsome. Its really cool to see the progression you've made. Keep on keepin on brother.

the line is from laying the pavement the machine that lays it is only so wide and when a shoulder is needed it takes 2 passes giving the dividing line

Sorry for writing a book haha, but congrats on the new direction and I hope big things come your way

[@spiritedPILOT]

I think the grooves on the side of the road are there to wake the driver up when they start falling asleep. In other words, it keeps the driver from veering of the road!

[@ragingthunder1986]

The cut in the road would most likely be for frosting and freezing so the road doesn't break up would be my guess, I mean like you're in Florida so it probably doesn't apply to you but I'm pretty sure that's the reason for us up here in the north at least

That truck definitely has to have a larger tank. My 1500 had a 26 gallon tank, but it sounds like your sending unit is having a problem and not recording the fuel level correctly.

[@Garthx1]

I just looked it up and it's true alot of the short beds have 26 gallon tanks and the low fuel comes on at like the 20 gallon mark so you have a 6 gallon reserve which is weird cause the older dodges have 32 gal for short and 35 for long

[@Dang_Jim]

Maxiethedog123 I figured it’d have to at least a 26 gallon tank. My low fuel light would come on at 6 gallons remaining

we don't have those cut lines in the road in NJ so it must be just how they pave the road.

The cuts on the roads are usually rims blowing up and semi trailers just riding on the rims or when there usually in the middle of the road and pull over quick that’s a trailer coming off the hitch of a persons car and sliding on the ground

It's usually the asphalt depends on how or who the individuals were who put it down but usually that's just a design error more or less .... sometimes they pour the outside edges first then fill the center part and then roll it and use that edge for like a gauge....
