A NEW CAR THAT FEELS OLD- IN A GOOD WAY- LOTUS EMIRA FIRST EDITION V6 MANUAL

Thank you to today's episode sponsor, BetterHelp- betterhelp.com/vintra
Every year cars get more complicated, heavier and packed with technologies that make driving easier but not necessarily more fun. So here are two ends of the spectrum- A brand new Lotus Emira v6 manul and my 700hp BMW e36 M3 race car that is street legal. Where else will you find this completely logical pair up?

[@vin_tra]

Leaving Hoonigan was one of the biggest decisions I ever had to make. I had never made decent money prior to that job and to most, it seemed absolutely insane to walk away. I knew it was what I wanted to do but no one truly agreed. To salt the wound, once I made the jump I was overwhelmed with self doubt and regret. Struggling with finding the confidence on what to do next or what i was even good at. Even taking time off just made it worse. Sometimes you gotta catch yourself before you spiral and get some perspective or help. Life is a series of decisions you have to make for yourself. If you think you need some help or someone to talk to, just do it! Betterhelp.com/vintra - save some bucks and get the help you need to live a good life.

Instead of getting sponsored by Betterhelp, you should get a Bettersponsor, Vinny. If it's there any other way of supporting you (like patreon or merch, we know we have to wait for The Driver's E.R.A. to drop), I'm all in for it!

You don't have to justify having sponsors brother. Congrats on the sponsor!

Totally support your point, but please look at who your sponsors are if you can! Betterhelp isn't a good sponsor to advertise for, regarding leaks of private information.

Betterhelp is a scam.

[@nickbrown7990]

​@@krapfen1907 yeah, I'm chill with Vin getting sponsors and admittedly a smaller channel means less of a pool to choose from but BetterHelp is under fire for more than one thing including not vetting their therapists for licenses in the first place. Hopefully there'll be more opportunities with better sponsors with more time.

Vin your opinion on cars is so valid because you're not someone who goes out buying loads of brand new cars, you're a petrolhead like us. I drive a 2021 MX-5/Miata RF which was my dream affordable car and I love it for the engagement but sometimes I miss having a refined car with luggage space so something like the Emira might be a sports car that ticks all the boxes when I replace the MX-5. Also, never justify having sponsors, real fans know this is how you make money and wouldn't be able to continue doing what you do without them.

[@vin_tra]

I love the mx5 and even new fiat 124. Just really small for me!

One of the best things about all the fellas leaving Hoonigan and starting up their own channels is that we have so much more car content to drink in and I love it!

[@theonlyever]

The DRIVERS ERA content is taking shape and it feels like you’ve found a great niche. It’s not about reviews of quirks, features or performance, and it’s not about a specific driving style or scene. Instead, it’s about the feeling of connection with a car-the feeling that the machine extends your physical senses in such a real, visceral way. Without this, we’d all just be geeking out over stats and facts like a fandom. That personal, bodily connection is what is at the core of any car culture.

[@kaydesign]

Just do what you like. Do car reviews. Build stuff. Drink Coffee. Even build a IKEA desk. If you like we like it 😊🏆⚡️

Do your thing Vin, I know myself and most people who watch KZbin don't mind the ads. And shh everyone, you know you can just skip ahead right?? I'm loving your channel and the content so far, used to watch hoonigan on the regular, especially daily Transmission and the mayhem it brought, but glad to see most of the guys happy doing their own thing now. Plus it's great seeing the Cameos on each channel. I've watched channels like Cleetus for a long time and he has ads too. You guys gotta make your money 1- to live and pay bills obviously, and 2- to keep making better and bigger content to grow the channel. Any real fan understands.

[@sdlausen1]

To me, the Lotus Evora was a modern day version of the NA1 NSX. The Emira takes it another step!

[@Youppp]

I loved the content. I would have given this vid 2x thumbs up if could 👍🏻 👍🏻. The first for the rain coming through the roof and the 2nd for the trim falling off. Hilarious. The music and the scene's of all the BMW's driving together was epic. Remiiscent of an early fast and furious movie. But with way cooler cars. You’ve definitely hit the spot with content choice. Which is impressive in this highly contested segment. Analogue is definitely more fun and enjoyable than the digital offerings of the newer cars being made right now. Keep it coming. 🇬🇧

[@rossdinius3303]

45 feet into this and I realize this is a mistake. Car guy things lmfao

[@zerotoux]

I'm coming from a BRZ, and I got to test drive the Emira (and have a deposit for it). I felt something was missing from the Emira. I think the fact it redlines at low 6K rpm really killed the joy for me. It feels like it has more to give, but by the time you're there, it's time to shift. It's like engine blue balls. Looks great, and I realllyyyyyy realllyyy wanted to love it because the looks were so good. But you're right about the engine. Maybe a Larini exhaust will liven it up, but it's just not the same visceral feeling! For now I'll keep the deposit and wait for the base edition. Cuz at $99K I really think the Emira FE is too pricey.

[@fnkdrspok7181]

Lol does not redline at 6k, you have to let the engine warmup first and the redline goes up to 7k. Not great, but you don't actually start feeling the 400 hp until around 6k. Owning this car is much different than test driving it.

[@stevegilchrist4173]

[@ScullyBrewing]

I think there’s a good and bad way to do sponsorships. I tend to skip the sponsor spot if it ruins the flow of the content, like a hard cut to a sponsor. If its something thats naturally weaved in, im way more likely to sit through it.

I think there are some ways to do em within the content but other times, there isnt a natural way. I'll mix it up!

I gotta say, and to be clear before-hand this is all positive. But during the Hoonigan days, I cant say i was the biggest Vin fan, not that I disliked you but i just didnt have an opinion but I am really enjoying this new chapter in yours and some of the other guys lives, at least from a viewer perspective it is so much more relatable and we can actually learn something about you, your interests, who you are, etc. and at least for myself personally that is what i enjoy the most. Its more like watching a friend then watching an "actor in a tv show". Like we have very similar taste in cars and i never really was able to put that together in the old videos, but watching this content made by you and around what you want, ive become really interested in what you're doing and am glad you're doing it. Looking forward to the future of you.

[@megansuefry5408]

Advanced warning, this will be a long winded comment. First, I can’t think of a single successful YT personality who doesn’t have sponsor details in their videos. What I appreciate is people who have sponsors they believe in and support. BetterHelp has been great for thousands of people, and if you truly utilized it to get through the challenges of taking this leap, then more power to you. Second, I think of your channel/vlogs similarly to early JRE (Joe Rohan Experience). He wasn’t sure what he was doing. He didn’t know what was right, wrong, or in between. He poured his heart into it, learned lessons along the way, and now has one of the most viewed podcasts on the planet. My point: keep doing your thing. Subscribers may come and go, but what most of us real enthusiasts want to spend our time watching is real, honest content that provides us second-hand experiences we’d otherwise never have knowledge of. Third, the Emira review. Getting your and Alex’s take on the Emira is awesome. It’s a very new car generally speaking, and as you said, you’ve driven tons of different cars. Whether any of us had $100k to blow on one or not, it’s awesome to have an honest critique. Fourth, the BMW trip/meet. To me this was the best part because it reminded me of a trip my wife, some buddies, and I took to Ice Cream Cruise at i29 in Pacific Junction a couple of years ago. It’s ~2hrs from Des Moines, and it was sunny and clear when we got ready to head out so I took the tops off my 2000 Formula. About 40 minutes from the event we got caught in a short, but intense, downpour in bumper to bumper traffic. The t tops were locked in the hatch, so my wife and I just enjoyed the refreshing cool down and each others company. Everything dried up by the time we made it to the event and it was beautiful, much like your trip. Those cars were incredible, and the location… wow. Lastly, thank you for continuing to put out the content YOU ENJOY MAKING! The reason Hoonigan got so big is because of the personalities you, Zach, Hert, and a few others brought all of us. You’re all true car guys, and the sincerity we viewers felt while watching the content has always been unmatched. I know you’ve got a busy life and may not read all of the comments in their entirety, but if you made it this far I’d like to thank you for continuing to give all of us something to look forward to. Sometimes life can be cumbersome and challenging, and knowing we at least have a new video coming soon helps us keep our heads up and determination alive. Hell, your video last week inspired me to go wrench for a couple of hours and organize my tools. Thanks for everything, Vin! Looking forward to seeing what merch you come out with as well. I’ll certainly be supporting you in that way as well.

The colabs with the old Hoonigang us great and I love seeing you on DDE. 2. The split content in the last few episodes has been tough for me personally to digest. Title & thumbnail say one thing then half the video is something else. I REALLY enjoyed the beauty shots of the BMW event, and the trials of getting there. But I clicked for the Lotus. I’d be interested to see what you can do with a whole episode on the Lotus and a whole episode on the BMW event. Either way keep it up. Oh, one more thing, your house is sick!

Epic episode Vin, you did something you enjoy - driving/car show, there was a mix of things - a new car experience & race cars on the road, a good mix of cars, bonus - you got to hang out with Larry again but most of all you kept to your same edit style so hopefully the episode for you was enjoyable to film and edit. Because, for us, it was the same, rad, cool music vibe, sunny L.A. shed clips (at the start 😂) and a mix of things to keep us engaged... The Lotus started to get boring, so you pointed out it's cons, then you switched to some BMW's and race cars on the road struggles which was great for our entertainment. I love the dry humour of your videos and the music. The L.A. vibe is awesome, and your content keeps me coming back. I usually just click a like on your videos but I thought I should let you know that I am stoked to see your videos doing amazing regarding views so I hope in turn this keeps this format going because I really look forward to watching your videos.

Nothing wrong with having sponsors, we're all trying to get paid. Get your bag💰💰💰

Giving me old hoonigan days vibes with the perfect amount of unplanned chaos. Keep it up!

That car is the perfect solution for someone that would normally purchase a Cayman, but already has a 911. They are awesome!

Vin, no need to justify sponsors, it's just part of youtube creator monetization. You make good content and deserve to be financial supported doing so, we know youtube itself isn't gonna pay out that much. Just don't forget as your channel grows, CHARGE MORE. Don't let companies low ball you for a 60 second spot or whatever.

I dig the feels of your channel, it's just real life Vin things.

[@AnthonyMarcellino]

Loved the video man, also love your perspective on cars. The variety keeps it interesting and exciting. Keep it up, this is turning into my favorite channel!

[@SillyBob242]

It's a tricky balance, i imagine, to have the access and the experiences you do, Vin, and yet keep 'the rest of us' feeling relatable. Hence all the comments about feeling you are genuine and enjoying you being real. I think it would be real easy to have your perspective skew with time. anyway; great job, i agree with so many comments that you come across genuine and real and i enjoy the vids so far immensly. i dont think you can do car reviews constantly, there just aren't that manyinteresting new cars these days, but this was fun and i enjoyed. once again well done!

Great content! I love how chill Vin is in a sea of KZbinrs who scream at the camera. That race car sounds insane

what is NOT to like about the lotus!? Toyota engine, great design, old school manual and steering setup. Beautiful modern car with analog feel. I'm glad lotus hasn't lost it's way.

No defrost and leaky sunroof... my 242 was like that for years. The first time driving in the rain after I fixed both issues was magical

Keep it up man! Awesome stuff you’re doing. I love this era of creators coming out of the downfall of Hoonigan and outputting cool stuff. Y’all are still figuring it out and it feels fresh, it feels alive and I love it. Hope I am making sense.

I love how genuine your videos are man
