not gonna lie, I liked the old intro more than this one

yeah this version of the song is weird af

I just wish it was as short as the old one

Was surprised this was a Chris story since the title didn't sound like a plot for a Dukes of Hazzard episode

[@snapshow1989]

I am surprised drugs weren’t included in this story lol He always seems to get himself in a drug related incident

[@CMDRSweeper]

Just an A team style Taxi cab war episode... :D

I hope Chris never runs out of stories to tell us. Easily my favorite on this channel. He should narrate his entire biography like this!

[@VINwiki]

What is your craziest passenger experience?

[@OpioidDeal3r]

when my uncle was driving fast in a town it felt like I was in a gymkhanas

[@SammyTheDitchDoctor]

Up at the top of my list would be: Back in the late nineties when I was the Road Atlanta track medical/safety director: 190 mph down the back straight in the Momo Ferrari 333sp GTP car NOT designed to carry a passenger. It took me 2 laps just to open my eyes!!! Haha

[@marnixsiekmans8259]

Who knew Chris lived in London. When I lived in Leeds there was a guy I know with a Golf R who proceeded to go 120 MPH down a narrow country road with me in the car.

[@stevenpage8847]

Long time ago my buddy showed up at my house with a ball n said, let’s go to Mexico! We got there by doing a buck twenty on i35 south. We got there so fast, it was before sunrise. Nothing was open, so we just sat n the car, high af, and giggling like little schoolgirls. Fun trip!

[@flatoutnorth794]

I was driving on a urban 2 way street in winnipeg manitoba during mid winter, ice on the roads like a skating rink of course. Mind you im no slack driver and I was doing at least 35 mph when I hear an abrupt honking. Obviously I didn't recall a vehicle behind or in my general area as of that moment, as I snap my head left to shoulder check this vehicle. That has somehow come so fast behind me and is now passing me on a urban oncoming street, I look to stare the driver in the eyes whom was at the time of passing me had one hand on some sort of bottle and another lighting a cigerette. This man had passed me with the tail end kicking about driving with his knees. doing easily 45 to 50 mph with his knees on a literal skating rink in what appeared to be a triton v8 powered f150 with body panels held together by rust and luck. I wasn't sure how to react? respect it, be furious? Well I continued on with my day. Still wait to see him again. Will I? Thats left to be said.

[@atticus6572]

"The French can be kinda French sometimes." is on par with "This can be red."

[@Bryanscott88]

Christopher Michaels is the MAN. by far a VinWiki Favorite Regular!!! 🤘

[@mattmayo3539]

The best cab rides were in San Francisco. The hills, the turns. Sometimes you would catch a little air off a hill. You were almost always guaranteed some tire squeal at least. The crown vics were great town car cabs for SF. Glad I got to experience that before ride sharing apps. When all it took was a loud whistle and a wave off your hand to get a ride. Good times! 😂

[@deejayyy1681]

I did Uber in SF for a short min and got complaints for driving like an old cabbie thru there 🤣🤣

[@mattmayo3539]

@@deejayyy1681 I think it was the driver not giving a damn about the car that really added to the experience. I’ve been in the back seat of a crown Vic where the rev limiter was chirping, the car easily having well over a quarter of a million miles. Something about the danger added to the thrill. Also cabs are license chauffeurs. In California, if you had a regular cab driver he would legally be allowed to let you drink alcoholic beverages.

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

He quoted Eddie Izzard. Get outa my head Christopher!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@mathewchambers5087]

About 8 years back, I took my friend and one of ours to San Francisco, and they had never been. We were in Union Square and had to get to Pier. 39 for the ferry, but we had only 19 minutes. Flagged a cab, literally pulled out a twenty and told the guy “ do what you gotta to get us here”. We got there in 14. My friends won’t get in a cab again though. We were in high school too!

I wish KZbin was around in the 80's when we paid Jeepney drivers in the Philippines and cabbies in Korea to to be the first to our destinations! The Jeepney races we commissioned in rural Philippines were by far the scariest moments of my life. The Korean drivers and their white gloves were like professional NASCAR drivers in traffic, the Jeepney drivers were bananas! For $20 bucks they'd try anything in those vehicles.

[@Hammar89]

I remember there was a channel called Brooklyn Pilot, I think he was a pilot and his videos was all about driving in new York. He wouldn't drive like a maniac and blow red lights but he would apply the Senna driving style; if a lane is open and he could advance 6-7 cars and make the light he'd go for it. Not aggressive, but just a higher tempo than everyone else. This was back 2010 I believe. If anyone wants to watch something similar, search for Anthony Cumia " angry me driving home". Its funny because he's exactly what I imagined a new yorker in a black Escalade would be like😄
