“I think I was dating the starter wife then” 😂😂😂😂
Lol 😂
Dare I say that might beat “wife at the time”
I like the term, “primer wife” aka elementary school-level wife.
Classic
killed me ahahah
My first car was a 75 Cutlass Supreme with a built big block making 502 HP at the wheels and cheater slicks. I came from a family of drag racers and dad figured I was either going to learn how to drive and tame it or take myself out. He was always a "trial by fire" kind of parent. 😂
Legend
Mine is 2004 Toyota camry. That I am still driving more than a decade later. Because she outright refuses to die.
Yeah bet it could jump a Coke can too hey mate........
@borismcfinnigan3430 You would be surprised. When driven right, you can do some crazy stuff with those cars. They are very light and agile.
@@aaronburkeen6409 over 4000lbs LOL, fck yeah so light and agile LOL.. He is a liar was my point, but like most everything else in your life, you didn't get it......
Travis is a top notch storyteller thanks VinWiki team!
I used to have a GLC! It was a 1985. The hoods open backwards on those cars. Mine had a broken motor mount so if you dumped the clutch the engine would rock up and hit the hood. I used to pop the hood and have someone hold it and I would dump the clutch making the engine rock out of the engine bay just to scare people.
Travis, I have to disagree. I had a 78 Mazda GLC that I bought for $300. That car was amazing I drove it from Colorado Springs to Las Vegas, to San Diego, to Florida. Epic road trip when I was 18 years old. At one point I rolled it on it side going down a off ramp. It did a 180 hit the curb, put it on its side on the curb and did another 180 9n its side. When it stopped, I got out, grabbed the roof pushed it back on the wheels. Waiting for the oil to settled, fired it up and drove that car another 50+ thousand miles with no issue's. It was a Great little car...
I had the basic manual non electric 89 Honda civic. No car is more basic and manual. I drove it from Northern California to Baja surf and snowboarding and with no chains. Cops and people weee amazed how. Well….im from NJ. To brag NJ people talk and drive different. We’re just not as big of pussies and have a little more sense than most Californians. Haha
SWEET reference to Stompers and Rough Riders!! I just started collecting them again to compliment my thousands (yes thousands) of Hot Weels.
Stompers rocked!
My brothers 1st car he bought was a 70s cutlass supreme with 350 , he paid $50 and it ran . My 1st concert was The Beach Boys in 1986-87.
I did not know they made a 44 inch tire back then, A 35 inch tire was huge during that time.
1989-91 I had a complete freak of a Toyo Landcruiser that was the short square jeep removable top type thing lifted higher than safety advises and had 44’ Super Swamper tires. Forgot stereos, you could hear these tires coming miles away and multiple grids over in the small NJ beach town where sound echos off and around trees and forests. It could drive right over most vehicles in town and be being skinny scrawny teenager people felt it was like an infant riding an elephant as far as control and skill of driving. But I didn’t get hassled and had a fun time. Damn I loved being that high up advantage wise for view. Really makes for safe driving seeing everything so high. Had a weird starter wire that would fall off driving so I had to basically walk under it and attach it before starting each time, making for free and easy car anti theft system 🤣
My Christine was a 1980 Pontiac Phoenix. It tried to kill me several times. The steering would bind up and it had a habit of blowing right front calipers. It didn't matter if I bought a used, new or a rebuilt caliper, it would blow within a few hundred miles. Usually at the worst possible time, like approaching a red light at a busy intersection. I used buildings, trees and utility poles to stop and avoid major accidents. It died in a Kentucky scrapyard after it tried to kill me on KY 22 when the steering bound up on an off camber right hand bend. I bounced it off of two guardrails and then plowed into the concrete curb on a bridge, folding the a-frame. After the wreck, every panel on the car had damage, except the drivers door.
"except the drivers door" sounds like that sucker was trying to kill itself, not you.
@@Mrawesome7123lol
‘He hit his head on the roll bar and knocked himself out’. I’ve never heard someone so capable of dodging culpability in my life😂😂😂😂
Stomper's new owner was like "spare the cane, spoil the truck", ha ha ha.
As an Indiana guy myself and having a lifted ranger that had STOMPER across the windshield I'm obligated to like this video.
My first car was a 1969 Fiat 850 Spider. My first concert was Paul Revere and the Raiders. My second concert was Jimi Hendrix in Berkeley. My ears are still ringing.
Great stuff, Travis.
Me and my dad built a 73 road runner as my "first" car we found it in a local junk yard and the body work was already done but the 400 in it chewed up the plastic or fiberglass timeing gears so there was a 69.5 A12 super bee that had been totaled in the 80s at the same junk yard so we pulled the 440 out of it and the owner kept the 6 pac intake and carbs so we had the engine built and stroked then had a 727 trans built and after that i picked petty blue because it had blue interior and we took it to races and car shows i loved that car but a week before i could get my license my dad sold it because he said "i would get killed in it because it was too fast" and to be honest we put 10 speedometer cabels in because it would break em like nothing and it went to 120
Nice truck! I loved my 88 toyota pickup. Had the 22RE with the 5 speed manual. The E part of the 22RE gave me some trouble here and there, but it always ran and would go anywhere.
My Dad’s second car was a 81’ toyota pickup circa 1991 . It was tan with a stick shift. Kc hilites everywhere adorned with a roll bar, brush guard, and big mud terrains. I don’t think it tried to kill him, but it certainly left an impression on him lol.
Oh man I loved stompers! I had so many!
Love a Travis Bell story! Keep them coming
It's a toyota, it doesn't need saving. It will be fine! And a Travis Bell Story?! Let's Goooooo!!!!
Edit: "Dating the starter wife?!" I'm dead!!! 🤣🤣💀
Travis you are the man.
Loved, starter wife... 😂😂😂
This is my first time hearing about Stompers, I was born in 1985. Ima have to check into these they sound awesome.
If your taliking about the toy trucks theyre badass
I always look forward to his stories!
Here we go ready for another travis bell
Travis story, heck yeah! Have a great day and thank you!
wow.....this guy sounds like a real gem of a person. starter wife.....smashes his parent's home appraiser's car and never heard a word about it after........was given a 69 Buick and managed to turn it into a Mazda GLC within a few years........I'm sure he had the title on him when the guy offered to buy that truck because he never bothered actually registering it so that was his proof that he at least purchased it legally when police pulled him over.
"The Toyotas of the day were the ones to, to have" Mr. Travis Bell, you were right back then, and still right today!
My first car was a 1994 Dodge Shadow. My mom bought it in 1996. It was passed on to me in 2003 when I got my license. I still have it and I was driving it on/off until 2019.
I remember stompers . I had a bunch of them and the track for them ..
It is weird how everyone in Indiana wants to vacation in Florida. I have several friends that think I’m crazy because I don’t want to. Travis never disappoints.
Starter wife is a crazy concept
I learned to drive in the family 1970 Cutlass Supreme. First car I bought was a 1969 Charger RT big block 4 speed. Second car was a 1969 el camino ss 396. Third was a white 1980 toyota pickup a 3" body lift, front helper spring and 36" mud tires. And yes I had a matching Stomper!
Your a fellow board collector!? Between your exquisite taste in cars and boards you are now one of the coolest people on this planet!
I had a 1985 GLC (Great Little Car). I loved it. Perfect for what it was.
I had the same first car! Midnight Blue with White Convertible Top and 442 Conversion. Loved that car! So much bondo...
As a former 86 4runner owner I can confirm things happened. Mine liked to honk thr horn in the middle of the night or randomly turn the tail lights on
Fantastic story!!!
My first car was my dream truck but at the time not my dream spec but now that it’s gone what I would give to have that truck back. 95 gmc sierra complete base model.. 5.0 v8 not the 5.7 4x4 crank windows manual lock and trans bench seat without the fold down rubber floors. That thing was something else. The memories and adventures. That truck probably brought me and my brother closer together than anything. Could tell stories for days about just that truck and if I could find another with that spec I would
That truck of his is probably still running.😂
Travis always has the best stories.
Great...story!!...add it 2 the rest of them!🤘
Hell yeah Travis, my first car was a '90 Yota Pickup, black reg cab, manual V6 4x4 and she had a love for going head first into telephone poles.
Here for anything Travis.
I learned the basics of driving manual in three different pickup trucks. My dad's 1971 GMC small block with a three on the tree (wouldn't touch a manual for years after that), my friend's 1992 Ranger 2.3L 5spd, and my uncle's mid 80s Toyota 4x4. He made me practice in low range to start with because he said I couldn't hurt anything that way. That truck was something else. Not my best driving experience but it was important.
Travis Bell you never fail to entertain. I’m so glad you survived the curse of Stomper and lived on to become awesome.
First car was a 88 Olds Delta 88 royal brougham with a caddy 500 stuffed between the fenders
Franklin Indiana that's where my family is from. I also had all those stompers. Always wanted the truck from back to the future.
I have traced my love of lifted Tacoma's back to my collection of Stompers as a kid.
A new Travis Bell story?!?! YES PLEASE!!!
I spent some of my childhood in Franklin haha so random to hear him drop that, I’m gonna have to listen to that other story
I remember playing with the Stompers.i put a 9V in one
Heck yeah Stompers!! I had like 10 of them.
Has anyone tried to locate an article on this accident? Based on the locations given, it should be possible to locate the records from the town.
You jump the truck with people in the back(and nobody notices the unconcious person in the back),you reverse over another car,you lose your wallet.Cars only fault seems to be dodgy electrical wiring.Before leaping to haunted evil cars as the cause perhaps you could look closer to home for who injured his friend,who reversed over the car,who lost his wallet.
Not one of those pictures had 44 inch tires. I guess that's about as accurate as saying it's the truck's fault the Volkswagen Rabbit got run over.
To be fair, this 🤏🏻 is 12 inches, so the tire size tracks.🤣
He's got great stories 😊😊
👀 missed out on flashing in the mullet photo! I’m not 100% positive, but I would take the odds that Travis rocked one!
I love that the majority of things that the truck "did" was just Travis being 18 😂
For mazda the GLC doesn´t stand for good little car, but Great Little Car, a car which was on the economy-standard class of the price range offering few niche ´´luxuries´´,that were optional in most economy-class cars, better interior, radio,etc.
Sounds like a crazy truck.. I wonder what size the tires were on that thing.
Dam I wonder what happened to all my stompers? I do know that one of them got Stomped because I put it in my uncle's hair when he was sleeping 😂😂. Ty for triggering the wonderful memories 👍🇨🇦
jumping Railway tracks. LOL i forgot doing that too. freinds of my lunch their car and it bunced and the drive shaft broke and bent up into the oil pan. LOL oh the memories.
Ah yes my first car...
It had a radio with a remote control so you wouldn't get hearing loss when I made it really loud....
Regardless me and my friend where hanging around on a parking lot noticed a car with a similar radio like mine.
So I switched it on and made it obnoxiously loud.
The people who owned it never knew who turned it on.
That was fun.
I liked my first car.
My first car is a Volvo xc70 manual tuned to slightly over 300bhp. Had her for 6y now. She's a 01 model. And I love yee Ole Volvo. Would not sell even if I got an amazing offer :)
My first car was a 1964 olds super 88 4dr hardtop with a 394 4bbl that was my grandma's and given to me at 16 ... I still have the car after 25 years and counting
My 81 always made a trip to Florida 😂😂
I got EXACTLY the car I wanted for my first car, a 1989 Volvo 244. Perfect condition, a little over 100k miles. I drove it for about a year until my mother's Ford broke down and I let her drive it and she crashed it.
At 1:07 In 1987 I had a Powell Peralta McGill Skull & Snake ( Which I don't see on your wall but I do see a Mike McGill board running parallel to your waist ) The board by itself was around $70. fully decked out it was a little under $200 ( That was a lot of money in 87 and a summer job of working my ass off ) I was into skateboards before I got my drivers license, but dude.. I never had that haircut WOW! EDIT I take that back, second row from the top left. third board over. Still a little different than mine
75 Gran Torino ( blue thank god not Starsky & Hutch ) and Pink Floyd 94 Cleveland Stadium. I was 15
Literally was watching this video in the parking lot of Walmart in Johnson County Franklin😂
Mischief shirt!!!!!!
First car was a 600 horsepower El Camino back when people did not have 600 horsepower now you get that in a Toyota back then it had to be a custom built motor by Bo Laws my first concert was supposed to be Ozzy Osbourne in the day of the concert Randy Rhoads crashed and died in a plane crash first concert ended up being Motley Crue theater of pain
1986 Isuzu P’up Spacecab LS 2wd
Mazda GLC manual…Step 1 for every chapter: “Remove Engine (See Chp 1, para 1)”
Weird stuff was happening in the stomper😂😂
Travis we need the Rx7 story 🙏
I got a 1976 bronco but really I got a 2017 6spd accord, sold it and then naught the bronco
Stomper found its perfect home. A Master to calm the breast. Well done Sir!
I drive a gen 2 22re 1991 Toyota pickup it is my baby she is sitting on 35s with a 4 inch lift
How funny he calls a 1969 Cutlass BIG.
“Just to remind you 44in tires”
I saw Richard Marx in concert in my college days. It was not a memorable concert but he did a good performance and I still like his music. No one will ever do concerts like Jimmy Buffett. What a party!! RIP Jimmy. We miss you.
Travis I had more toy Stomper trucks than all the rest of my school combined. And my rea life Stomper was an orange 81 Toyota 4WD truck & that truck should've kept me from owning any other
Toyota's BUT I currently own 2.
You can attribute the early 90s toyota commercials for eveyone jumping train tracks back then.
Travis Bell its going to be a good day
Any story of tavis’ I’m in!
I wonder what size tires he had on this truck?
44s is what he said
The starter wife 😂😂
“My friend hit his head on the roll bar when i jumped the truck, the truck tried to kill him.” Yeah that’s totally the trucks fault
I knew someone's sister who died riding in the bed of a truck doing stupid stuff. He was there when it happened. I also know the driver as well as other people during that event. Stories are great, consequences are not.....
I was waiting for a story where the truck was at fault for something bad that happened. It was always driver error.
My first concert was Pink Floyd dark side of the moon.
Best one to go to
I wouldn't mind a copy of every car I ever owned, and most of the cars I've ever driven.
Yo Travis!
My first car is a 1989 Oldsmobile cutless ceaira lmao
I wanted a super beetle and I got one.
Hahaha. I’ve had many white Toyota Utes. But the only 4x4 one I had was also cursed. The whole story has stopped entire pubs and even a corporate gig despite me not being the speaker. It also ended happily when it got stolen and I got paid out for it for full value. Even then I got fully investigated for insurance fraud before they found out it wasn’t me. I knew it had to go when it broke down on the way to my ex wife’s house on the day I was moving out from the psycho I had moved in and met nearly a year later. Souls in cars are so much more about the time they break down and the place V the actual fault
Lifted trucks are coming back? Where did they go? In Western Mass/Nh ive always seen jacked up trucks and Subaru's. I bet like 70% of Subaru's sales are from New England and its not just Karen's with short hair like Colorado lol.
Didn't tell us how the bloke in the wheelchair reacted when you told him about the deaths connected to the car.
ROFL!!!😂
