"AFTER CALMLY DISCUSING OUR OPTIONS..." leaning into the memes

[@GearsandGasoline]

"Subaru Bistro Vivio Sevitz" makes me laugh every single time I hear it.

[@koyaiba]

"Calmly discuss" Coin toss

[@mynt253]

So glad they calmly discussed their options and got past being pissed

[@jv6miata]

@@GearsandGasolineshirts plz? Very niche joke

[@chr1sc00l]

Do it with dickhead babyy!! Was fantastic seeing you roll up

[@vickiarts2669]

'After calmly discussing our options...' repeat was amazing 😂😂😂

[@illest384]

Hayabusa swap the beat

[@Fred_the_1996]

Nah, CBR 600 swap is goated for these little cars, busa and a CBR1000 are too powerful

[@TheRambowbb]

Either option will destroy that rusted shell

[@somethingsomething5582]

No

[@emerandu]

Literally exactly what I said last video glad am not the only one

[@hmmhuh12]

Go big or go home home. Kswap

[@SecwetGwiwer]

Is anyone else thinking how awesome a modified Honda Beat would be?

[@bluata]

i found a slammed beat with a body kit and work wheels with bride seats and all the jdm goodies on marketplace for $13,000. If I had the money I would've totally bought it

[@pascal__250]

Saw some guy on yt hayabusa swapping it

[@smiles564]

K swap!!!!

[@Asap_Cars]

B18C swaps have been done to them

[@tabryis]

No

[@phillsol]

That last bit in the bloopers is even funnier after watching episode 2

[@jaredmcginley7169]

Absolutely died when he said "as they should be" in response to Japanese people being on the smaller side. 😂😂😂😂

[@billzkustomz]

I'm 5ft2 and these cars make me feel big 😂

[@OutlawCRi]

“Didnt account for 3 cars breaking down…” is probably the best/worse reason to miss Mardi Gras.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

They nearly made Mardi Gras '24 🤷‍♂️

[@theupchuk2793]

"Didnt account for 30yr old cars we did no maintenance to breaking down" is more accurate

[@joelwatts1]

Ben's impersonation of the the japanese female timing belt indicator is the best content youtube has at the moment. I need a full length episode of that.

[@gustavogutierrez2709]

Seems you like it a little too much there bud

[@cheeseontoastbrah]

The best KZbin roadtrip to date easily

[@cheeseontoastbrah]

@harvirlakhan5141 nah lacked the comedic effect comparatively

[@pirotehs]

@@cheeseontoastbrah nope, six gear and japanese text on door was way funnier anything here

[@cheeseontoastbrah]

@pirotehs yeah nothing on Bens replacing multiple cars and the drama with it. I can't see a person realising that the j16x box was behind the beams and not the t50 from the 4a engine hardly comedy gold the Japanese text a bit funnier but again not hilarious

[@huntercarter1273]

With all due respect, and I mean all due respect, stance road trip was better

[@matthewtwright84]

I think you guys should have a road trip challenge where you set a low purchase price for a vehicle, each get one and head out. If that car breaks down the other person has to buy your replacement car which makes things interesting because if they go too cheap then they may just have to buy you another one and another one ect which could get expensive. Winner is the one that spends the least at the end

[@astrabarks]

They did something kind of similar to this with a budget of 5k. I don't think they'd do the type of road trip you're describing as it would make things a little too complicated. Best way to put it would be "if someone's car breaks, then the other person wins" or like that

[@igor.vysoky]

@@astrabarks cant find, could you probide a link?

[@kuramen5095]

@@igor.vysoky the civic and miata road trip

[@rubinixcube8866]

That’s if they ever financially recovered from this one!

[@axle1717]

Or set a budget for a road trip with one car. Buy the car and use the rest of the budget for the trip. Go as far as they can with what's left

[@StaufferGarage]

Always wanted a beat or cappucino. Fun watching you guys put them through the paces in the USA

[@Dolby109]

They are both great cars, and despite what these guys say just fine on the highway, esp the Cappuccino which cruises like a champ at 75.

[@toxicmasculinity7870]

@@Dolby109 Might’ve helped them to properly go through their cars first and sort them out beforehand. Should’ve bought the cars a month or so in advance so they could sort out any mechanical issues they would’ve had with their cars.

[@R3D_Lantern]

Right. They definitely needed some maintenance & mechanical work done on them before going on a road trip.

[@BRZ_BOY]

This is giving me old Top Gear Vibes. And I'm loving it!

[@ievokeloli5501]

FIX THE CAPUCINO BEN

[@nunyabusiness896]

He will, but he’s gotta month-long-ship parts from Japan.

[@xRockee]

why its a shitbox

[@christopherwilliams9418]

Gotta' put a motorcycle engine in it :P

[@BryanOushin]

imho, these roadtrip videos are by far the best content from G&G! it's how I found this channel and I'm glad that these roadtrips are still being driven.

[@matthewtwright84]

This trip might not have been Smart, but it's hard to Beat

[@geraldperez7754]

Funniest road trip series 🤣 Love it The SubUwU VIVO Bistrow Sports will forever be a meme😂😂😂

[@MrMucho22]

3:00 I think the Bens are ready for a Japan road trip

[@stevenwarner3930]

I wish I could like this more than once

[@WarriorsPhoto]

WOW! What an ending. Almost $40,000 in cars and months of delays. I wouldn't have guessed that this. I am glad you all were able to finish this trip. Excited for the next adventure you all take on the roads of America.

[@swecreations]

Honestly I'd definitely think someone driving a Smart has a lot of self-esteem, in a similar way to how I'd think someone driving a lifted truck has none.

[@austinobambino1360]

Exactly

[@pabo619]

Shortly after the Mini Cooper came back in the early 2000s (before they got so massive), a guy I knew had one and a shirt that read "I drive a Mini. What are YOU compensating for?"

[@SpineShank7]

Time to combine the Beats into a single, good car.

[@sooyster4033]

Oh my gosh. This is the whackiest G&G trip ever and I am totally here for it!!

[@ripamoramee14]

“WELL SHOOT PARDNER THIS GOTTA BE A SUBARU VEVO BISTRO CAFE AND GRILL SUPERCHARGED!”

[@greysonkeanu]

10:59 the part where they’re holding hands as they’re driving sends me

[@inab9779]

This definitely was the most expensive roadtrip you guys did

[@pirotehs]

How long would take them to swap engines between Beats? A day? If it is multi month trip, I would at least try this.

[@reactified6067]

yeah the first beat is so clean, i'd want to swap the engine from the rusty one to the nice one

[@SummonerArthur]

Video title should be "how many beats do you need to build a full car?" And the thumbnail is just ben slapping ben

[@adiriko]

Both Bens decided to take the Freeway. Keep it up. Authentic and Fresh. Something we all need in the Car community.

[@archstanton664]

Oh, man. I'm exhausted from laughter especially at that last bit. I didn't even notice the differences between the takes until seeing the behind-the-scenes. Love how my favorite bit was initially just a joke and then they couldn't get, "I don't know what that is but this has gotta be a Subaru Vivio Bistro Sport" out. 😂

[@stevenwarner3930]

I was looking for Part 3 yesterday and this morning, THIS is my hangover cure. Love this channel🖤

[@francisbilodeau3490]

Seriously the best and the funniest road trip you never had ! 😂👍 keep going!

[@TheLostYeti]

The clip at the end “after calmly discussing our options” GOLD

[@sudzkng7]

That last blooper KILLED me.

[@Spyfts]

Every year I wait for these road-trips to come out and they’re definitely worth the wait!

[@rushnerd]

I agree, also I love your avatar

[@easygoingdude9990]

“How funny would it be if this vo repeated” 😂

[@devonbrinn1299]

Saw you opening the beat’s fuel hole with the key, there should be a small tab to pull that is only visible when the drivers side door is open

[@VanillaSpooks]

The production value of these are so amazing! Love the trip content!

[@Snakebite420]

one of my fav series, im so glad you guys still do these so far every year. Always enjoyable to watch.

[@sk8er100100]

so what I'm getting from this is that Ben's new car is going to become a parts car to fix the original beat? :D

[@piuthemagicman]

Was about to say the same! 👀

[@brandonmiller4133]

Thanks for sharing your pain and your victories with us! Awesome series and the bloopers with the added VO skit was hilarious!

[@Affalterbach1967]

22:21 Video is complete before the car expires. Perfect.

[@thisuserisunavailableplsmake]

They pick one of the most relaxing song and every core in your memory be unlocking

[@CraigOlson]

love the road trips.

[@aizal1468]

3:25 "yoa timing beltu snapping" got me rolling

[@zeed5764]

Ah... Thanks Guys! This was such a hoot to watch! 😃 I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as a Top Gear Road Trip special, but perhaps a tad more cos they're actual cars that one would be able to afford to buy. There's something so special about driving older cars and watching them in videos is just as fun!

[@skyblazethereborn547]

Love the “it’s a good car” throwback

[@CruiseControl1]

Great series!

[@jerryantaya1266]

How have i never caught this channel? Yall have grown on me a lot. Hilarious 😂.

[@rushnerd]

Absolutely always love watching these. It's extremely enjoyable and the production is always spot on. Can't believe how many issues they had with this trips though!

[@gerardargao921]

This is the most comical show you guys ever produced. I’m so grateful to your show. You guys are awesome!

[@robo1000]

They may go bankrupt, but at least the Ben’s never give up

[@suppmiker]

Great series as always. Very entertaining. Keep on killin it

[@Peaches91]

Aw man, it's over! Loved this series

[@turtturt235]

The music for your videos is amazing! That fender Rhodes fits y’all’s vibes perfectly.

Another blessing on a Saturday morning:) thanks Bens

Goated series

[@aidenvoight9327]

Great Series, tbh didn’t have high expectations, but I loved every second of it

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

I luv this quest !!!! You guys are awesome!!!

[@Redsword2581]

i feel bad for you guys with how many cars have been gone through, so how about luxury car road trip next time lmao

[@melonenstrauch1306]

Subaru Vivio Bistro Sports was the real star of the show though. It was here for a great time, but sadly not a long time.

[@CarObsession]

As always, great content, always great viewing

[@LF-Productions]

Haven’t laughed this hard in awhile such a good road-trip

[@charliekoy5588]

See i like this alot, instead of you guys driving 90 percent of the time we get to see you guys enjoy things! Love it

[@38tech]

Omfg.....how incredible!!! Hahaha love these trips. The nloopers were great!

[@i_come_in_peace4726]

great production

[@petebrons8513]

After calmly discussing our options... FTW!!!

[@ghinovirata]

Really love all the road trip videos

[@TurboModifiedS4]

You guys drove through where I grew up, Louisiana and Houston. This road trip is so nostalgic for me. I even saw a clip of the town where I was born 🥲

[@maddieallen224]

such a good series

[@electronichd3711]

I REALY like the outtakes i nerly died. The behind the scence of the voiceover was allsow pretty interessting. Keep up the good work

[@turbo_brian]

Did anyone else go back to "after calmly discussing our options" to check for ben's feedback in between them in the original video even though you knew it was a joke?

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

This roadtrip has been wild

[@migzahoy]

i like how ben over the course of this road trip accept the smart car overtime

[@RickFurnival]

Ok, I thought this series might not deliver. Wrong. You guys deliver the goods again. Ep 3 really made me chuckle. Those outtakes were hilarious.

[@marcopolo208]

Such a comedic duo, this was one funny roadtrip!!

[@ronin84]

I'm officially in love with how the Beat looks.

[@kimyuseung]

The mooney spent on all the cars, they could've flew to japan, bought a couple kei cars, and done a road trip over there! 😂

[@Coolit2683]

That road trip looked like a painful amount of work! All the best to both of you!

[@truckerguy28]

By far my favorite road trip. Full of laughs

[@witchcraftauto]

You guys are awesome! have me looking up kei cars now and i'm 6.3!!

[@teggsr13]

Man I’m glad y’all showcased Louisiana! We have a pretty cool tuner car culture down here. Especially in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. Hopefully y’all come back again!

[@shermanw3730]

Great episode boys, love the NOLA portion of the video!

[@naturalsr405]

Best scent ever. My all time favorite

[@NickonWheelz]

Oh man. Please please keep the Beats and Engine swap them ! I’ll watch every single episode.

[@ValentineC137]

9:32 now THAT'S a callback!

[@rossbowman202]

My excellent my dudes. 👏

[@shawnguillory267]

Wish I had seen y’all when you were in New Orleans. Also it was cool to see you drive through areas I drove everyday for years. I love these road trips

[@TheDCfinestPLAYER]

awesome video

[@shariefmitchell9863]

Thank you guys

[@clayduval1255]

I love Ben's fun facts. They really helped me ace my history exams!

[@XtruecanadianX]

Thank you for doing another roadtrip🤜

[@Legotruck82]

lol the very end. Perfect

[@panaroman8346]

I was wondering why he kept repeating the sentences the last episode. 😄 35:25 explains it

[@dameonsproject]

Thank you for getting me through my Saturday shift!!!!!

[@dylanzion1011]

These guys r the most perfect duo hands down

[@cyrussakurai]

That notice voice is mean: please insert your ETC card. In Asia, many countries' high way is tolled, And in Japan, The ETC is an automatic payment device. BTW I like the beats.

[@bakamotorworks505]

As a Southern Alabama resident, I can feel the humidity through the video. We live in a gaseous state of soup here.

[@GTRFREAK17]

This series truly makes me love my '03 Corolla hatch - small and light enough to be fun on spirited drives yet not too small that it can't do a road trip xD hahaha Driven it 8 hours straight interstate multiple times without issue

[@ShironekoGokou]

That wiper blade transition at 4:57 was clean 👌
