Never expected to see you in a G&G video. Fantastic, watched you years and years ago when you were a motovlogger. Glad to see your doing well!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the perfection of Dan's entrance???? Solid gold. 👌

[@itscrono7073]

i love how tall ben’s sanity slowly slips throughout the episode 😂

That was depressing. I know how it feels. Never had to drive a Smart car but had a 2003 Accent 😭

[@nukesrus2663]

@@lazydadsgarage I dunno what you're talking about, my first car was a clapped out '04 Accent and that thing was the best

“It’s the automotive equivalent of a yeast infection” - Asian Ben 2023.

[@speedacademydave]

THIS

[@swaroopajit]

I think he preferred the yeast infection over the other one lol

[@ltjorge16]

He did say that lol

[@danw1955]

I about spewed coffee all over my screen when he said that!!🤣😆

[@derekballester5898]

Ben’s sanity was LOW when he bought that Subaru Vivio but when he bought the Smart… you know he was PISSED😭🤣

[@BillyTheTeen95]

Lol hearing the Bens were "calmly discussing their options," like 3 times around the 30 minute mark was hilarious. 😂

[@lukeparks4555]

I went straight to the comments to make sure I wasn't trippin😂

[@izzieb]

Ben really just wanted to reinforce it with the audience.

[@MusicWisp]

Dude I kept closing out the app thinking it was my phone 😂

[@Rev.Match.Reviews]

"Doug Demuro just bought a Carrera GT, i just bought a smart car! THHIIISSS!" holy hell that had me dying 😂 26:56

[@natedostalik3538]

Bro was going thru a midlife crisis

[@am55255]

I hate to say it, but the greatest thing on this channel presently is how many times Dan said “Subaru Vivio Bistro Sports” without hesitation.

[@DOITWITHDAN]

You have no idea the work and commitment it took for me to get that right... I must have said it 30 times 😂

[@Kuzzy95]

Probably the funniest G&G episode to date. I needed this, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. The timing and editing on this video is a masterclass.

[@JaJake101]

My favourite bit was when they were calmly discussing their options

[@MonoKyrios]

Second this

[@HarZoiD]

It kept getting better

[@Hbg3013]

i agreee i had ton of laugh

[@STImachine]

It hurts my heart that Ben is finally in a Subaru, and it ends up being a Vivio...lol

[@PlatinumNath]

An R2 or Rex would probably be better, but R2 is still too new sadly

[@southernkei]

I love the Vivio. Its sad that they got one that wasn't taken care of. I follow the very small US Vivio community and this is a very rare occurence.

[@Not_george_michael]

Watching tall ben go through depression, anger, confusion, and denial all because of the smart was truly amazing

[@trismat13]

Is it just me, or is it hilarious that Thorn sitting on the "tailgate" of the Smart can still swing his feet?😂

[@josephmatuszak3855]

That lil Subie yeet'd it's own rod after a single go kart track lap 🤣🤣🤣

[@Ben-Rogue]

Looks like oil starvation, maybe? Con rod pieces and wrist pin looked bone dry

[@OldManShoutsAtClouds]

A Subaru hitting oil starvation on a track day? Never!!!! A tale as of as time.

[@dat_bouy]

Very Honda bro to get new wheels instead of fixing the oil leak 😂

[@DubuTrash]

Tall Ben's decline into despair this episode was just hilarious to watch. And the plush in the rear was soo funny😂. Honestly one of the best roadtrip episodes to date. The editing, the timings, Dan's appearance, the whole timeline of events. Top notch quality, I already can't wait for the next episode. Great video again you guys!

[@seewithsam]

When tall Ben is pissed/angry you literally can’t tell if he is acting or that is real. If it’s acting he deserves a chance in Hollywood 😂

[@themikegarrett]

Love this series. RIP Cappuccino.

[@neverthar]

Somehow Ben has to somehow seek some divine guidance on how not to break every car he has

[@GearsandGasoline]

I really do need religion

[@kennedy796]

The Ben's

[@natedostalik3538]

Which Ben are you talking about or both of them 😂

[@neverthar]

@@natedostalik3538 well, we know for sure who breaks cars more often although it’d be rude to point out the obvious

[@sha-neilbrissett3813]

​@@GearsandGasoline Religion and any SUZUKI kei class vehicle powered by any turbocharged version of the SUZUKI "K6A" engine, preferably a Cappuccino or Alto Works 4WD which would be insane on the back roads (ask me how I know😅) and you'd be set, even to go from coast to coast, I guarantee it...

[@christianm2303]

The aggressive shaking of the Subaru Vivio Bistro

[@snakerb]

This was probably one of the funniest episodes so far 😂😂

[@MrDillbaby]

Starting to feel like a donut series with all the blown up cars lol

[@Hxnry.69]

The Dan addition was 10/10

So we can look forward to a “Rebuilding a Kei Car Collection” in multiples parts!

the mental break down journey of Ben

[@whizthesk8r]

It’s when he just drops the hood cover that had me dying 😂

[@blue_lancer_es]

Big Ben. Be proud. The smart car has a mitsubishi engine. Think of it like a ralliart in an alternate universe. 😅

16:13 I have never heard anyone say “stagea” like that

Build a fleet of Kei cars then rent then out on go-cart tracks. 🤣😂🤣 Great video Bens.

[@cityofangels11]

You guys are friggin awesome. Kudos to your team involved in making such episodes. Now I really wonder what car will compete with smart car😂😂😂

[@cardiacdrummer5443]

So many great car guy one-liners in this episode. At least Ben’s squish mellow looks cute to compliment him losing grip with insanity

[@xCelcia96]

Awesome stuff lads! However, there is an audio issue around the 30:00 mark

[@mr.izanami1796]

an audio enrichment*

I think we all heard it but in all honestly we didn't care😂😂😂 this episode was golden 😂😂

Wow, that was a Subaru Vivio Bistro Sport, one of the best cars from japan.

[@vlenhoff]

The "squish mellow" part made my cry laughing. Good one guys, good one.

Something tells me that both Bens will be arriving in Houston driving their own Smart cars...

These American JDM importers seem to take no care in making sure the cars they sell are in good working condition. And they charge such high prices!

As a former owner of a turbo'ed Smart Car, I take offense to owners "not being car guys". We are the ultimate car guys that say, "anything can be fun with a little boost. Literally anything. Watch and see!"

Drove my Uncles Smart car for a week. It was sketchy at first but I ended up enjoying it. Made my commute to work very comfortable at least.

I actually love the Smart ngl Rear wheel drive and rear engine It can drift⊂⁠(⁠´⁠･⁠◡⁠･⁠⊂⁠ ⁠)⁠∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠° Quite fun to drive on a back road as well

[@christopherwilliams9418]

I love them for what they represent, a more optimistic, more compassionate version of the future where we pivoted to smaller more sustainable cars rather than giving everyone a rolling fortress, stuffing an electric drivetrain into it (making it over 9,000 lbs) and calling that "green" It's the same reason I love the Geo Metro, Mitsubishi Mirage, Chevy Spark, Ford Festiva, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Toyota Prius C... And why even though the New Beetle is my favorite production vehicle, I love the Concept 1 even more because it was an honest little economical city car whereas the production version... Was kind of bigger and heavier than it needed to be.
