Thanks for having me on and reminding me Sharper Image still exists
😳
Hey guys! It’s Austin!
never expected you here 🤣
Love you and Donuts videos👌
Hey Austin if you quit wacking off it will make your hair thicker and help with skin oiliness. Not trying to be rude but just giving you some tips
As an aspiring old man with minor eye issues, I can confirm yellow glasses do tone down the harshness of oncoming headlights, it turns incandescent lights yellowish and blue xenon lights to a more pure white. Also, you’re pretty much getting ripped off if you pay $20 for a pair.
the yellow glasses were one of the two main reasons I was able to drive through snow storms Christmas night. highly recommend them for night time driving in snow storms and 2 lane highways. anything over 25$ is wasting money.
Numskull Aviators are cool
Though there's no scientific evidence proving night driving glasses, blue light computer glasses, etc actually work.
@@sciencerscientifico310 my science experiment showed it works tremendously.
You can find them at the dollar tree for 1.25 lol
A lady I used to see had a nerve problem which made one of her pupils stay maxed out, she couldn't drive at night because of this. I grabbed an pair of amber safety glasses from the hardware store and built a thing that would clip onto her glasses and cover the bad eye with the amber lens. It ended up working great, she was able to drive at night again without being blinded in one eye by every oncoming car.
Same thing with my Nan.
David Bowie too, but a fight caused it not a nerve problem.
my mom had close to the same problem and those glasses were recomended to her she said they worked till she figured out it was just an aneurism, just a placebo effect
I actually had the panoramic mirror in my truck for 7 years (but one from autozone) and really loved it. In a car its to big, but a truck it doesnt block your view. Plus I drove a crew cab, so I was able to see the full back seat and I could see both my blind spots and tail gate with it adjusted correctly. Kinda wish you would have spent a little more time trying these in different vehicles.
That would defeat the purpose of their clown act.
I had one I found at the junkyard and put it in my civic as a joke and ended up loving it
I've installed one for senior friend who has difficulty turning her head quickly. She loves it!
I have severe eye issues and those night time driving glasses make a huge difference for me. Without them if I get hit with high beams or bright LED lights I have to pull over for about 5 minutes
I second that the glasses work from personal experience.
My Dad swears by those glasses when driving at night.
You get the same effect from yellow glasses that cost $10, or even less.
I wouldn't say I have severe eye issues but I do wear regular glases and recently I got a new pair that has magnetic lenses I can clip on top of the regular ones, my eyes are a bit too sensible to light and the yellow driving lenses that I can clip on top are a must for me, without them I'll drive for a couple hours and my eyes will be bright red while with the yellow lenses on top I can got for more than double the time without my eyes getting tired, those on the video do seem crazy expensive but you can get some that do work nicely, also, older yellow french cars had yellow headlights for a reason, it's not about being able to see better it's about not getting tired as quickly.
Optometry undergrad here: They work wonders but don't overpay! Most 10$ ones are as good as any 100$ ones. They are also available to order w/ your prescription from most opticians, though that might cost you a bit more.
The swivel cushion is legit. When my father was alive and suffering with PSP we had a swivel seat to help get him in and out of the car easier as he couldn’t control his body. Wasn’t as high as that though.
My grandmother got given one by the hospital when she had a hip replacement to help
Yep this is simply a rehabilitation item to help people with hip and leg weakness. We can forgive the guys they've never broken a hip! 😋
@@charlesandrews2513 And I thought about those upskirt shots paparazzis are after. Would make it much easier for a woman wearing a short skirt to get out of the car.
@@thecatthatgotaway he probably wasn't drivingggg dude 😅 swivel cushions are used on the passenger seat!
@@NeverTooTiredToRideTwoTyres in my head he is lol
Yo that fuel pump is awesome! You really notice the difference when you use 5 or 6 gallon jugs. We use them at work to fill up things like the bobcat, wood chipper, stump grinder etc.
That description is pretty funny though since water is one of the most corrosive liquids there is
Yeah that was my thinking. They generally only think about consumer usage, but there are plenty of use cases professionally, where this is very solid. Not saying this one specifically is good, but the product in general is definitely worth it if this is a regular thing.
Also I don't even own a jerrycan, so it's not like they are a common for consumers anyway. They used to be with so many tools being gas powered. But with battery taking over, I don't see why most would need this, unless they have vehicles that you can't just take to a pump. As a consumer that is. If you have a car dealership/garage, this is definitely useful
@@benjaminvdvytwell idk about you but literally everyone ik has gas cans and uses them, it's interesting that you don't own one or I would assume know alot of people that use them, I mean honestly the biggest use for gas cans where I live is lawnmowers, fourwheelers and chainsaws
@@johnhostetler2167 I live in the Netherlands, we don't have a lot of land, and cutting down trees is something 99% of people will never do.
@@Sharklops 🤣 NO... Water isn't even CLOSE to being the most corrosive liquid. 💧
Hey guys! Love your show! I bought the swivel seat for someone after hip replacement surgery. Getting in & out of cars was the #1 way people dislocated their new hip hardware. Worked great!
The yellow lens glasses actually work really well in overcast or conditions where it's too dark for sunglasses. However, I picked up a pair of yellow lens safety glasses from Harbor Freight for like .99.
The HF ones are only yellow so they're easier to find if you set them down. They don't actually "do" anything for your eyes.
We use them on our motorcycles at night helps allot other wise we are basically blink cause no one knows how to adjust there headlights around me
I got a pair out of the lost and found at my old work, they do work well for bad overcast weather.
Yeah I got yellow lens drivers glasses too, they are top notch.
Now all I need is A drivers car. lol
I used to use them for mountain biking because when you're in the trees there's so many shadows that you can miss things . But with those glasses on it's like the sun is shining straight on the ground all the time .
The swivel seat I could have used when I worked at the post office. When you're getting in and out of a seat 100 times a day I could see the use for it. Also the seats in a mail truck are flat.
Yes those damn LLV seats are garbage lol
8:24 Was very sure when James started reading that comment that he would point out how the son-in-law did not get the mirror. Called it and still laughed out loud when he said "..but not him".
This is the content I subscribed for
Yellow lenses help with night time driving for people with astigmatism. It helps block out the "flares"(if you don't have astigmatism, then you won't understand), that can be quite blinding. But...you don't have to spend $80 as any yellow lenses work for the most part. I wear $6 yellow lens safety glasses at night, and it works well.
The "Panoramic" rear-view is actually required in many jurisdictions if the driver is deaf. Not the exact Panoramic mind you, but an extended width rear-view to provide the driver additional information.
I felt attacked LOL. I actually use something similar on my rearview mirror in my SUV. I love it because I can see out every window even a small amount of my driver side window and passenger side window. Definitely illuminates Blindspot‘s and even helps a lot at certain times when parking or pulling out of a parking spot.

Well, it calls We Buy Junk Cars... Their employees are working really hard spreading the word though, so keep calling if you don't get through.
These yellow glasses work great at night with oncoming headlights, but they are only $10 at autozone. Really takes the harshness off of the blue headlights many new cars have.
I know your comment is around a year old, but there are way better options. Optician here :) The better Option is to buy glasses with "blue protect" They are normal white 100% clear, no Yellow. The Upper Coat absorbs the critical portion of the LED Headlight spectrum. Giving you perfect sight while also lowering the LED Lights. Those yellow glasses, they work in a kinda way of block nearly all blue light but many colors contain it in a way, meaning: Warning colors get worse to see.
And they take a portion of light away, meaning: Worse sight in Bad light situations.
I bought that exact same liquid transfer pump at harbor freight for $7
Yep. Comes with a nice auto stop feature too. I use it to fuel my quad and lawn mower. Holding a 5 gallon can in the air gets old.
Hahah, came here to say that! It’s pretty nice for in the garage use.
Use mine for my aquariums.
Sharper Image was a scam in the 80's. Nice to see them still being on brand...
When I was a kid I would look in their catalogs and always think it was the coolest stuff for rich people 😂.

those yellow glasses definitely help those with astigmatism, or LASIK for night driving, I was legally blind most of my life, had LASIK it made light diffract a lot worse at night for me, but gave me depth and spatial reasoning, the yellow glasses make a serious difference on a highway at night
its not that they make it easier to see at night, but it helps prevent you from getting blinded and needing a second to recover your vision in the darker spots while driving
(basically helps keep your pupils from dilating to small for the situation, as your eyes go "oh its day" and go smaller, but actually need to be bigger to continually see the dark sections coming up.)
Those "night" glasses totally work fixing a bad hangover though.
Yeah or just regular sunny’s
I love it when Donut does these completely random collabs. Their chemistry together was so fun
Literally loving this collab
Austin is my dude. Been watching him since the start of his channel
It was awesome! I clicked on it so fast and it was just fun to watch.
my grandma uses the 360 swivel, it really helps here get in and out of her car because she has mobility issues
This was exactly the usecase I was thinking off.
She's not fit to drive.
Well said. Driving is not an absolute right, no matter how inconvenient it would be if you had to give it up. @@1BergerVongSchlauigkeitHer
Truck driver here. 5:20 segment of the video and night time glasses. I work at night driving a lot of back highways and what not. I was coming home with consent migraine headaches from people driving both behind and at the truck with their high beams on. From the back is way worse cause it/they are consistently bouncing off the mirrors into you eyes. I finally talk to my Optometrist and got actual night time prescription glasses. No more migraine headaches. But if you think $80 is expensive. Every time my prescription changes for my normal glasses I pay $1100-1200 for new night glasses....worth every single cent.
actually the panoramic mirror is something most stock car drivers have in their car, obviously it’s a much better one than that lol. it helps you see a little bit more closer to your quarter panel. I got that along with a spot mirror in my car.
Donut media is the best youtube channel out there. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Great price! 5/5 stars.
Amazing comment🤣🤣
Dude, those rearview mirrors are a must at the track. I have so many blindspots wearing a helmet and strapped in the harness.
Thank! These idiots laughed when they read the review about race car drivers. Just shows how much they don't know.
Also good for manics treating the highway like a racetrack. Let's you weave in and out of traffic like in the movies without cutting people off.
@@idontlikecops1 watch the miata episode where they install a real racing rear view mirror. This is a scam for that money
@@idontlikecops1 it's okay, you don't have to call them idiots just cause it sounded fake to them. A lot of stuff is gonna be marketed as pro or race equipment cause it makes it sound cooler
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 -- You'd be right if that was the ONLY reason, unfortunately, there is a library of reasoning behind that title
Our work trucks have a different version of the fatigue monitor and I gotta say I'm pretty thankful they have them, I totalled my most reliable car (06 tdi Jetta) from falling asleep. And the fatigue monitor has helped me on more than one occasion.
From personal experience I gotta say, I have tried those type of glasses for me, and I find it sooo much less stressful to drive with them at night.
The Sharper Image are crooks! I bought the literal exact same liquid pump from harbor freight for $11 ! It works fine and love it but it's not $80
Does it suck gas OUT of the tank tho? If yes, how did u attach longer hose?
@@daigosaito888 nah, it's made specifically for shallow tanks, not built for anything longer than the black spout part of it. But still good for 11 bucks.
The fact that the hose it comes with is so short you can't place the gas container on the ground next to your car makes it pretty much pointless IMO...
@@daigosaito888 I guess that depends on the direction the batteries are put in. If you change the current the pump would reverse...
I love my hobo freight pump! I zip tied 2 together so I can fill an atv in less than 2 minutes.
All I have to say is those night time glasses 100% work. I always thought it was bs till I got stuck driving through 3 tornados with so much rain you can barely see in front of you -while also at night. I had a blown head gasket so I didn't want to stop incase the van wouldn't start again, so I had to keep going. I had a pair of John Lennon glasses with yellow lenses and remembered the night time driving glasses has yellow lenses. I put them on and could see about 3 to 4 feet further, which was a lot considering I could only see like 10ft in front of me to begin with. They aren't as good as the commercials make them out to be, but they def work and probably saved my life as well.
But probably don't worth 80 bucks
@@jo7375 nah, def can find something a lot cheaper that does the same thing
@@chrisfrizzell1050 still fucking cool they’re working tho tbh
yes yellow tint glasses help a ton in rain
Yellow fog lights also help. Companies just got rid of them from the factory because the yellow lights "ain't cool".
Congrats on 7M! Absolutely love everything you guys post; keep it up!
For the mirror thing, I love having a big mirror because I’ve had to drive vans and hatchbacks that kinda have meh rear views. Makes it easier for me to at least check if somebody else is in the next lane if I’m trying to change into it
The fact is you don’t even need a rear view mirror. Semi trucks don’t have them. Yada yada yada
I want James to know that when he says "I love you" at the end of each episode, that I really feel the love. Thank you James.
He means it too
Those yellow glasses actually work great when there’s snow falling towards you when your driving, it doesn’t catch the glare from the lights and make it impossible to see. It’s useful in Canada if you get decent ones
THIS. I wore some driving through 3 tornados with heavy downpour at night and could barely see anything. Slapped some glasses on and could see a few more feet ahead. Unexpected lifesaver for real.
The ones I have helped out alot driving home in the last couple snowstorms we got. But they cost me like $18. And they have a metal frame
It works with every polarized lens
@@mrsnezbit2219 yes, but don’t think you’d want to drive with dark colored polarized glasses on at night lol

i went to the comments immediately and i knew i wasn't the only one
This is basically an episode of Mystery Tech that Austin doesn't have to spend money for.
the colab we never expected but definitely needed
I’ve owned a few wide angle mirrors and they’re great for pickups (just angle it so your reflection doesn’t take up the majority of it). Amber lenses help with low light conditions. Pro tip- these devices are available from many sources for way cheaper.
Yeah, I've got a 20-year-old pick up with tiny little mirrors and I got myself a 15 and a 1/2 I think inch convex anti-glare blue filter mirror and it's a lifesaver...
Literally the same one that these guys are using that again has no branding on it and it even came in a nicer Box it's in a very nice Box from Japan instead of that generic plain cardboard-looking Box and it was only what I think 22 bucks.
10$ AliExpress, blue tinted and super clear.
Love both of you guys! Watch you both all the time keep it up♥️
I didn’t know i needed this collab but I love it
sharper image used to be one of my favorite stores to walk through and never buy anything.
When i was a kid my great grandma used the swivel seat in the backseat while my grandparents drove her around. It was pretty much the only way she was able to get in and out on her own. It has a very specific use case
Very similar story here. I hate that they didnt even try to swivel in/out of the car. Also while driving, your seatbelt is on, so you're not just flying all over the place.
Night time glasses do actually help. It really helps against Astigmatism and has made my night time driving a lot safer.
Taking my favorite nerd page and my favorite car page and put them together and weird hilariousness ensues. Love this.
I really like the "night driving" glasses. Especially when encountering a brooo with blue led lights 🤣
Though I got some of the "as seen on tv" "hd glasses" for like 20 bucks at walmart or something instead of 80
I have to wear prescription but I think I’ve seen Blue Blockers at Dollar Tree or Dollar General. Either way like $5 or less.
I wear a pair of glasses like that all the time they used to be called blue blockers but I just like how they look and I get a lot of compliments on them. Seven bucks on Amazon
Seriously how are blue headlights legal, they make me wanna give them a high five with a baseball bat
There’s the two pack of the glasses at the dollar store for $5
One pair of night time glasses
One pair of regular sunglasses for driving
Yellow lenses are for night driving with astigmatism
That siphon pump is really useful at the racetrack for getting race gas out of your vehicles since they usually can't be stored with it. See them used a lot!
I would love to see another collaboration like this ❤️
Two of my favorite channels colab! Awesome!
The night time glasses: I have astigmatism and my optometrist recommended the filters that go over my normal glasses, huge difference.
The transfer pump: $80 is insane. You can get THE EXACT SAME PUMP for $10 at Harbor Freight. I use it for fueling my sxs when on trails and it actually works great lol
exactly the same, same color and everything, i bought one for evacuating old fuel out of a gas tank, and the batteries cost more than the pump. it does work well though
You should get a second gen Ford Escort LX for the next D-List car.

I wear amber vision glasses at night because all these LED blinders new cars have now. Amber vision stops the glare and makes stuff more visible. Glass ones are better than plastic here.
I’ve been wanting to try them since I drive a lot at night for work, what brand are yours?
Driving for 5 hours at night with high beams blinding you - gotta tell you, these driving glasses do help A LOT.
I love how my two favorite creators, one from a tech channel and one from a car channel collaborated to make a great video. Keep up the great work!

I got my glasses redone a few months ago and they gave me 2 magnetically attached lenses one dark for sunny days and one yellow for night (250€), the yellow ones really help at night reducing the incoming headlights and the city illumination light, you don't get as tired, you need to test them on the road at night
Specsavers has anti glare as an option on regular lenses and iirc it doesn't cost much
Yea but lets be honest, the ones this company is selling is the cheapest option from china and then sold at a ridiculous markup. I believe those glasses we’re just yellow tinted plastic
@@chefr6210 I have added a 10 bucks Alixpress plastic anti-glare foldable yellow rectangle to my vehicle sun visor. I have the same benefits as Monk Monk. And I just wish I could do the same with my rear mirror. Best 10 bucks spent ever for a car thing, for me.
@@maxhar2898 I think they stopped doing it. But in older cars the up/down lever on the bottom of the rearview was for that. Get someone behind you with blinding lights, just reach up and flip that lever and move the light out of your eyes.
@Ja Rack they still have them as of my 2023 Hyundai Elantra, I love that thing because so many trucks out here have beams that are far too bright for middle of the city living lol, and they shred my poor eyeballs--so I just flip the rear view mirror thing and I'm better. Still comes in the side mirrors though :(
The collab we never knew we needed
as a tech nerd and a car guy, this is a match made in heaven. You've tapped a serious market with this whether yall know it or not
Those mirrors are literally used by race car drivers. Personally I’ve need many many rally drivers use them mounted around where the passenger visor is. Works like a charm for seeing things right up against you.
Why would a rally driver need to see behind himself?
@@sixty2612 rally cross* sorry should have specified lol
@@sixty2612 definitely needed in tarmac rallys to make sure you're not holding up faster cars.
I use them in my tow truck. I can hook a car without turning my head around.
No serious race car driver is using a mirror produced by Sharper Image....
Hey guys, I actually own yellow glasses for night driving (not sharper image brand). They actually do help in my experience with eye strain and make on coming lights less intense. I'd recommend a better test next time around, as in try driving for long periods with them.
Have the same opinion, I bought a yellow tinted cyclist glasses for about $6 from a sports store and it was my best choice.
Yeah they are great for cycling, really makes a big difference if youre cycling on a road. Also you can find them for just a few dollars.
The logic behind them by the way is that the blue color receptors in your eye are not very sensitive in low light. So if you wear yellow glasses (i.e. blocking blue channel), it doesn't affect your ability to see in low light very much...but when a car's headlights are shining towards you, the glasses are cutting out at least one part of that light, making it a little less bright.
This is a collab that I didn't know I needed
I use one of those wide rear view mirrors in my Japanese nugget van, it's awesome. I can see everything happening on the right side through the side windows. I honestly love it. Only downside is that it blocks the passengers sun visor from going down all the way.
I gotta say we bought one of those 360 swivel seat cushions, just for my dad who has parkinsons and had a brain tumor. it helped him so much! Sadly it was a cheap one and just didn't last well.

@@A_A_Ron001 😂 maybe.
I gotta say, I got myself one of those rearview mirrors. But it's colored to help with high beams at night. Being able to see your rear passengers makes it easier to talk to them for sure. Maybe yours is just a little bigger then the one I got cause I haven't had any issues.. actually quite enjoy it
I think this is exactly the problem. You're not supposed to look at your passengers when you're driving. The increased field of view doesn't make driving any safer, but distracts you with faces of your passengers and blocks your view of the road in front.
I think this gadget is dangerous.
@@unfa00 you can't be serious 😐 your not looking at your passengers every damn second your driving.
@@violonicit's not about consciously looking at them, it's that every time you want to check your back you see their faces and it distracts you. And also you see them all the time in the corner of your eye even if you look forwards. I think it would make it harder for me to stay focused on the road. The standard mirrors in cars are designed to give you the road and just the road, nothing more, nothing less.
@@violonic "I have this phone mounted in front of my face with twitter feed, I'm not looking at it every god damn second so it's completely absolutely safe", gtfo of here with this crap. You are driving a giant bullet easily capable of killing someone or destroying some property. You should limit all possible distractions and focus on the road and traffic. "I can look at my kids in the back" is a huge distraction.
@@unfa00 are you kidding right? You don't need to look at your passengers the entire time
The collab I didn’t know I needed
The lil battery powered pump for gas and other liquids actually works. My old boss had one for filling our snowblower with gas. It's good for not spilling gas on your paved driveway and having the gas destroy your pavement.
I have 2 pairs of those nighttime driving glasses, and they're amazing for driving in poor visibility (rain, snow, fog) and after dusk (night); greatly reduces the glare of the lights of oncoming traffic. But I got them at Dollar General for $20 a pair, and I've seen them in Walmart for about the same price. As for the 360 swivel seat they work best if you back in, sit down with your legs still outside the car, then swivel in; it's great if you have a cast on your leg, or are unable to bend/move normally, like being paralyzed from the waist down.
You got ripped off by dollar general. At most, they should've been $1.25
The wide rearview mirrors are actually very helpful. I don't have the sharper image brand so can't speak on that, but you can get various width mirrors as well as a flat mirror versus convex.
Best use for it is to mount it on a bus or a tuck with a flatbed. Its a big no on cars as the mirror is big enough to block your view.
We use one in the race car. It’s actually very useful to spot dive bombers and just see what everyone is doing.
Pretty sure Zach Jobe added to rally mirrors to the money pit bmw
True that- Broadway mirrors are the best 👍
Those glasses for $80 is absolutely stupid 😂 I bought quality yellow shaded window film off of amazon for only $50 and had it professionally installed for only $85. Day time sky brightness has been drastically reduced, reducing the strain on my eyes due to sunlight while also reducing the illumination of other motorists piercingly bright headlights at night driving towards you. My solution has been awesome and actually works.
you can make the gas can easier to use by taking apart the “valve” mechanism, removing the spring, and putting it all back together. now you can have it open or closed without having to push it against something
I’m finally awake to watch an episode from Donut Media within the hour
Same lol
For the next D-List car get a late 90’s muscle car or an early 2000’s retro style car. A PT Cruiser would be the perfect D List Car
A droptop PT cruiser. 😂
The yellow glasses are especially helpful when driving in fog or snow. You really can see farther down the road wearing them.
I love that the We Buy Junk Cars phone number still works 😂
The yellow glasses actually help in dimly-lit situations, including bad weather. Back when I was racing, I always kept a yellow-tinted visor for my helmet for races in the rain. To this day, I still keep a pair of yellow glasses in my truck.
Sure pal
Always excited for Donut!!
I have some yellow glasses for driving at night while it's raining. (Not Sharper Image)
It actually blocks the glare from the headlights and the rain so I can actually see the lines in the road. I love them!
The collab we never knew we wanted or needed.
When I was in Japan, I bought a stendo mirror. They're actually pretty awesome. Allows me to see corner to corner of my rear window.
I don't know what cars you guys are driving, but the stock mirror in my 4th gen caravan lets me see all four corners.
@@mikehall3976 The stock mirror in my 05 Crown Victoria didn't allow a full view. You could favor one side or the other or the middle. The rear glass in your van is further back which probably makes a difference. I've also noticed some newer cars have wider mirrors from the factory
I've never been in a car with a stock mirror that doesn't let you see the whole rear window
WHAT A COLLAB! Now this is what I am talking about. Two my faves together!
The colab I never knew I wanted
The swivel chair works for people who can't get in and out of a car easily. My mom, she had MS and couldn't move her legs great, used it to help her swivel in and out of the car.
This is such a good collab I could have never thought of. Awesome stuff as always Donut.
The fuel syphon is usually used for getting fuel out of a tank into a can, or stealing in the bad old days
The 360 thing seems really great…. For the elderly.
Great video thanks for sharing fellas. We don’t have The Sharpe Image junk chain here in Australia. Just so you know good quality yellow lenses do actually work they are used in shooting or for working on overcast days or in soft light and give you a sharper image.
I feel like this video was made especially for me thank you both I love watching mystery tech and I can’t get enough of donut
having driven professionally, I actually do find yellow lenses helpful. The use case is pretty small, but If it's raining at night, having polarized yellow lenses cut the glare from puddles and headlights and increases contrast. Makes things a bit dimmer in general cause of the slight tint, but they can be helpful. again, pretty rare that I would wear them, but in some cases it can be good. don't think the average driver is going to get a ton of use out of it...
The yellow lenses are great in winter. It feels like they increase depth perception when everything is white and blindingly bright.
They work great for cutting the yard when it's really dried out and barely grew since the last cutting,you can see the stripes so much easier.
The fuel pump is super usefull in the right applications. I’ve worked on a motorcycle dealership that didn’t have its own big tank for filling up the bikes, instead there was loads of 20l gas cans and those are heavy to lift up and use in the “normal” way, so every time you filled up using the cheap plastic fuel pump you were really thankful not having to hoist the whole thing over the fuel tank and being afraid of spilling gas all over the paint.
It's cool you were able to get logic in for this episode
The collaboration we didn't know we needed but the one we deserve
I've had a panoramic mirror in each of my last almost 10 vehicles. I can't recommend them enough. Lane changes with them are awesome. For some it is "too much" but you get used to it. Depending on the vehicle style, sometimes they're better or worse. But I recommend them regardless. They're really nice in a two door truck.
The crossover i never expected
This is my favourite channels coming together...
