Are yall gonna do the Suzuki Hayabusa swap for the cappuccino?

I wish for the nxt. Road trip will be truck, i mean old trucks like hilux etc.

Nice video as always... Next... Challenge... Road trip with.. small Kei truck...

Were you guys at Radwood last weekend? Think I saw these two cars there

[@Rays_Bad_Decisions]

Great episode!

These guys are my fix man, I honestly can’t get enough of these road trips. You guys deserve an Amazon show

Go away Freddy even these guys are better at content than you are.

I like this "stopping wherever we feel like on the way" vibe. It's how a roadtrip should be done!

[@GearsandGasoline]

Driving 10 hours a day to Alaska and back really burned us out, so we wanted to do an "easier" trip this time.

The parking scene was hilarious. The two cars can fit in one slot 😂

[@0Heeroyuy01]

there was a husband and wife that worked were i do for a little bit last year they both drove smart cars and would park them both in the same spot, they each had a key to the others car so who ever got off and didnt have to work 12s could drive the one in the front home

[@ghengiskhan54]

While I lived in Japan I once saw four cappuccino’s parked in two spots

[@tofuboi6836]

I actually did this w my AW11 and my buddy’s 89 CRX. It was quite a squeeze and we had to park facing different directions so we could get out lol

[@drywater3559]

8:45 yeah cause he is the same height as Azns lol!

[@Rmx2011]

Right off the bat, can't believe Ben fits in the Cappucino. Edit. I have a feeling next episode will be sponsored by K&N, for no specific reason :)

[@GearsandGasoline]

couldn't believe I fit either. It's tight.

[@romeo_alpha0176]

Ben Lin is now Bend Limb

[@nunyabusiness896]

The thing to understand about kei cars is the passenger compartment is the same size as most sports cars, it’s the trunk, engine, and door flourishes that are all squished down. Think “supercar escape pod” and you have the right idea.

[@hipster_tacos]

​@@GearsandGasolineThank you for your sacrifice Ben. I'm also 6'3 and have been wanting a cappuccino 😂 I'm glad to see it's possible

Man I’m at an incredibly low point in my life, you have no idea how much joy your guys videos give me. When I saw you guys posted a road trip video you just made my week, thank you

Only up, from the bottom. Set small daily goals, follow up with weekly, monthly, then yearly. It’s not easy, but find something that makes it worth it. Mine = cars + family + all things creative.

[@josuepaz9446]

we got this brother! keep your head up

[@shekharbahuguna9475]

The photographer at Duncan dealership was cool. Thanks to him for giving some insides of those cars.

[@D1PAYAN]

INSIGHTS.

[@doomsayer559]

That Beat sounds so fantastic. Who cares how fast it is. Because I would be on throttle all the time for that sound.

[@tims_builds]

Good to know the old Honda tradition is still there, fill the oil, check the gas 😂

[@JETZcorp]

Same with Saturns! They wanted to compete with Japanese cars, and they nailed the experience.

[@afroaliens]

sweet of you to shout out the best adventure guy ever! C90Adventures! Ed is a madman!

[@Sarin-Q]

When I bought my 91 Beat, I took a long bus ride down to the city my importer was in and immediately took a road trip home in it. Couldn't have been a better experience for me. Super hyped for this series!

[@uhhhwhatdoipick]

16:10 "I'm so afraid I'm going to bonk myself" *BONK* lmao

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

So the boys from Throttle House are doing a cool road trip series at the moment too, which got me thinking that a crossover road trip series with them would be super epic.

[@reynaldiwidjaja277]

Duncan collection lowkey feels like a Gran Turismo dealerships. Old cars in brand new pristine condition.

[@38tech]

This has been teased for months now and it hasn't disappointed. Love it! And yes those roads in my Miata are the bomb!!!

[@christianm2303]

The dude doing the Dino pull is questioning why he agreed to this and the bens are just laughing😆

Lmao his face during the pulls had me dying

@@420CaptainSlow - Right? LOL 🤣

[@colelje]

Dude wasn't sure if the cars were gonna blow up or the dyno was gonna quit cos of the low power

"Ben, it looks like your Cappuccino's gone decaf" 🤣 🤣 🤣 Too good. So hyped for next week, love the series and kei cars

[@Gr00t]

I'm 25 and still haven't got my licence, these guys road trip videos have motivated me to actually make a move on and get it. Would love to do stuff like this with a mate.

[@DaddyDeadBeat]

I got mine at 26, just save up for something you want and go for it.

[@symz81]

Love these road trip episodes! By far my favourite car channel on youtube!

[@Spud_E_Buddy]

I love the friendship that you two have The tour of the Duncan facility was awesome 💕

13:55 VEHICROSS AND ITS YELLOW. Love this

[@zachs3509]

Y’all are such incredible content creators. Excellent cinematography and writing, even being able to roll with the random goof-ups and still be able to make something enjoyable and funny. Really appreciate y’all’s work. It’s incredibly inspiring

[@daddybotz]

Saturday morning, off from work, drinking my tea, watching Gears and Gasoline. Cant beat this!

[@Bourne246]

[@evankirschenmann4653]

Even after you guys have finished with these road trips, I really hope that you keep these cars. They are so sick!

[@mereskimade]

It’s incredible how you guys make road trips so entertaining, it’s like a superpower. #gearsandgasolineforlife

[@jaakkor.2963]

28:53 That short moment when Ben forgot it is a RHD car is funny

[@DakotaStone]

You guys Jam Pack so much content into these episodes. It’s so well done. Shout out to the entire G&G team for the amazing content!

[@Nickorator]

This video was phenomenal - Great flow, great camerawork, great banter, everything. Excited for the rest of it!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

This is one of three paths I know of on the “road to enlightenment”: 1980’s cars, Kei cars, and Motorcycles.

[@DaftDriver]

23:29 probably my favorite shot of the video but great camera work and narrative throughout, you guys keep making the best long form vlog style car content on youtube, keep up the great work

[@taejae6593]

This is already my favorite road trip season. The shorter distance with an emphasis on the cars makes it really entertaining.

[@albertrecio7704]

The wait for another episode is always worth it! Best car channel for me. 🐐

[@wyattnajecko5300]

The bonk noise when you hit your head made me laugh more than I should have

[@general_pinochet]

18:36 Ed march, c90 adventures 🔥🔥

[@Goofyahahll]

Some of the best automotive content on KZbin. I started Houston SCCA time attack and auto cross right around when I found these guys. Watching Ben drive his FWD civic helped me learn how to corner with my own SI on track. That and a lot of sim racing 😂 anyway keep doing what you love guys we are always gonna be here to enjoy it 👍

[@monsterlovers100]

6:27 is the exact reason why I brought a single cam type s civic as a daily! I can send it as hard as i like and barely get over the limit where as I even thing about the throttle in my s15 and I am in driving ban territory 😆 It nice to see there little cars get some love!

[@Roman-hs2pq]

YEEEEEES. Road trip series are back, I was waiting for the whole year

[@klarkqent]

Outside of Cleetus, you guys are putting out the best car content on KZbin

[@tomkato6400]

These road trip series are awesome and keep getting better and better 👍. Decaf Cappuccino was hilarious 😂. “What did it make?” 😀 “44”. 🤣.

[@YourGoddamRight]

No one is as cool as Ed March from C90 Adventures. NO ONE.

[@murbin.86]

I live for these series man, glad to see you guys back it!

[@janoschkr5178]

Its always great, watching your roadtrips. 🛣️

[@David25512]

Is is weird to want a kei car built to race series?

[@josephsamsor1698]

That would be great. Would probably be a very cost effective way to race a lot and being so small even makes them easier to haul to the track.

[@kanyebest2622]

Their cars next to those two trucks was so bizzare 😭

[@e30gangsta]

The production quality of these videos is insane. Great work!

[@salecon]

I really love these road trips videos. Thank you guys for making these cool road trip videos !

[@timmeee5890]

I think we all agree: Would love to see Ben putting a K-Series in the Cappuccino or in the Honda Beat

[@nunyabusiness896]

It would just make it an unstable burnout machine and ruin the car. Enjoy it for what it is, the idea that every car needs power mods is one of the worst things in the car world. Learn to corner and understand how little power even matters.

[@Ifixstuf]

such a waste and way heavier than you need that car to be.

[@jackhughman282]

The thunk it made was funny.

[@cymans1164]

You just swap it with a 1000cc bike engine it's pretty common these kei cars

[@kecikmiao3930]

or mayb just a 2 rotor 700cc rotary in it.. with 200hp

[@Ward1706]

Oh hey, another Honda for Ben to K-Swap.

[@glennmccroskey3285]

Always have loved the road-trip videos! And this one does not disappoint ❤️
