- In the future, all of us were supposed to buy shiny rocket cars. That didn't quite pan out, but artist Baron Margo hand-builds the wild Buck Rogers car wanted and Jason gets to drive them.

+HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP
What?
HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP ok
This should have been the future.
+Jalopnik link the guys website in the discription www.baronmargo.com/
+Jalopnik And this is street legal ?
+Save the Rhino Yes completely street legal
+jenjen68 No, it isn't. Just off the top of my head, CVC 27600 requires fenders over the rear tires.
+Jalopnik should have put the guy's website url in the description. 'jason drives' is awesome!
Aesthetics on this car are amazing....I love it. So cool.
yeah especially the bottlecaps
Dang, who stole that from Jimmy Neutron?
I now know where Gru from Despicable Me got his car from. ;)
+banpeinet lol
w
shut up
aaawwww sowwy baby
+A&W Cream Soda shut your procrastinating dumbass.
I was expecting it to actually be rocket powered...
Yeah fuck this bullshit.
@@KandiKlover Yeah, your whole life is ruined.
That would be Mythbusters. :) Jato rocket car. Like them, this guy is throwing down the gauntlet for everyone out there with creativity and passion to make their own unique world.
i like Jason's voice. when he speaks, he just seems to be having fun doing it and has so much enthusiasm. No offense Jason but almost like a Muppet, in a good way.
WOW!!! AMAZING ROCKET CAR!!! I GIVE A THOUSAND STAR FOR THE BUILDER!!!
What would the cops say if you got pulled over...?
+paps511 That car is amazing let me take a photo...
What? if you where a cop you'd do that.
+paps511 They pull him over ALL the time...to take pics
+paps511 "Damn you look stupid!"
"Sir, you're going 300 miles over the speed limit."
That guy is an artist. When the episode started I was thinking we were going to meet a crackpot. But he seems sane and super creative. I mean Baron but same goes for Torch 😋
Yes. This is success. Jalopnik needs moar Torch.
You should put his info in the description
The man who made this car is everyones dream uncle.
I nearly just spit out my coffee laughing when he mentioned the gearshift handle!
Jason has fallen through a hole into what William Gibson called 'The Gernsback Continuum' - which is where these spectacular vehicles hail from.
I'm amazed that EVERYTHING can get a licence plate in the US :DD while in my country little modifications can be a no from the ministry of transportation
+Bracci Yup! Ratrods and cars like these are totally legal, while Skylines and such are not, unless they're 25 years or older. Quite an ass backwards system we have here.
+WuWizards Haha i own a skyline :P Glad i don't live in america?
that face splitter supporting the windshield makes me nervous.
one of them looks like the one offstorage hunters
+elliot eadie Yeah I saw that episode on Dave today, then I just saw this car on here wtf lol
+elliot eadie Yes 'twas on storage hunters...Reality shows aren't REAL
+jenjen68 Good eye Elliot
+9freelandk same mate I am trippin😀
Yes, exact same. Damn storage hunters ruclips.net/video/A9ltHL4OjRU/видео.html
Love the designs, but I would have at least wanted a turbine engine.
Looks like something from Wacky Races =P
a real artist :)
DAT negative camber in the rear.
That windshield partition pillar reminds me some **Final_destination** shit..😂..!! It could slice a head like fuckin watermelon.
Aren't you a bit bothered by the face cleaver holding up the windshield? Seems like one fast stop and you'd be the man with two faces!
I'm thinking you accidentally side-stepped into the Fallout parallel universe there. Fantastic creations.
This video definitely needs more views.
Those rear coil overs aren't compressing as they should, much of the "spring" seems to be in the bodywork around the spring mount. you can see the panels flexing at 5:09
Los Angeles is Los Santos in GTA, specifically in GTA V. This man, I think, is the inspiration behind the guy in GTA V who is obsessed in Alien stuffs. I can also see the resemblance in terms of their looks! Wow!
This guy is my hero.
Super cool works of art!
Real life hotwheels that's what it is
You mentioned at the beginning of the video, by the year 2000 everyone was going to have a cow robot. Well, nobody told me that my princess robot was going to turn into a lazy cow robot with half dead batteries!!!
I like how you think that you could totally get with the empress of Mars.
Even his house is frckn amazing
It amazes me that those are legal to drive
The engine is probably so old it doesnt need smog
I'm impressed that it was able to pass a Roadworthy.... either he is a very good builder... or more likly the US has very lax laws when it comes to what can and can't drive on th road
love this series
The shots in that guys place look like the pages in those I SPY books I read as a kid.
Jason you should try and jump the grand canyon in that thing, good luck, may the force be with you .
That steering wheel is legit!
awesome steel blade supporting the windshield. nice sword in an accident
That laugh when he said he has a website lol
Imagine a car chase in this
"All units we have a chase in pursuit. It's a...a... it's a rocket car"
So awesome Torch!
I love his 24 hours of Lemons shirt, I proudly own one too :)
Well now I know why I saw a silver submarine driving in LA a few years ago.
Just being pedantic here, but most of the controls like the throttle, shifter, and clutch weren't *lengthened*, they were *shortened*. You're sitting closer to the engine, not farther from it.
Were I a millionaire, that rocket car would be MINE!!! It is 100% mad & I LIKE IT!!!
I REALY LIKE YOUR T SHIRT, 24hr LeMONS!!! YEAH!
The steering wheel alone is amazing. He could make copies to sell and make alot$$$$
it reminds me of that ailen guy from GTA V with that rocket buggy he had
this car was at the LA auto show it so sick
How do you get a contraption like this authorized for road use? Does it have to adhere to all modern safety and emission regulations? Is there a prototype / small series clause that makes it exempt for normal regulations? Where do you get an insurance?
I want to know what the car in front of him is at 3:55 - that's pretty futuristic looking too.
that windshield looks dangerous lol, hope its made like the glass on manufactured cars
OMG, i could smoke weed and bs with that dude for days while looking at all his cool collectibles!
It has a diesel-/atom-punk feel to it. I like the look of it. Not so sure about the fact that its not actually rocket powered like Jay Leno's jet engine super car. Imagine one of those jets in one of these babies.
You guys are in Griffith Park! cool ha
"Car is the wrong word for this...". Yes, "piece of shit" is what he was looking for there.
THAT IS AWESOME
He really likes the metal man's head.
this reminded me of Mad Max movie,not sure I liked this episode,i took a nap,woke up when it finished,lol,,how can he register this vehicle,what make and model?,who would insure it?
Needs a After Burner to be a real Rocket car. Make it happen.
Gotta blast!
This looks like the Car you bought from the advertisement from heavy metal magazine.
A shame that vehicles like those would never be allowed on British roads. It'd make commuting far more fun!
this was on storage hunters
awesome video
Cool
looks like my miata.
Reminds me of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - but it's from space!
Is it just me or does he sound like Shaggy....
That metal fin holding the windshield would make for a gruesome death, if someone got into an accident in that car.
Also, I was disappointed by the clickbaity title. This not a rocket car, as it is comprises of zero rockets.
I can't understand the website he is taking about at 8:20. Can anybody help me?! THX
I think Baronmargo.com
Amazing!
The front of that car kinda looks like the front of the car from the Cat in the Hat movie
didnt this appear in an episode of Storage Hunters ? like they claim the owner would have left in in a storage unit.... the owner looks like the type of guy that never lets anything go.
Il Tempo Gigante! Flåklypa Grand Prix!
The rocketship car!
"Your constantly caressing this tiny metal mans head every time you shift. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, more cars need something like that" -Torch .. I don't know what else to say
steampunk
Alex Hemopo agreed!
Wasn't the car's creator on American Pickers before?
i saw this car in a storage bin in storage hunters
rare pepe @ 1:25
shit.. nobody told you?
Omfg
Christian Escriba ok
Lol
That car was on storage hunters
danpotter2001 yeah, i seen that!
anyone from the UK will know that his house looks like botany bay
that is the exact same car that was found in a storage bin on storage hunters😂
+Kasam S Ya cuz reality shows ARE NOT real! They rented his car to be "discovered" Duh duh dunnnn
Jason , you might enjoy The movie Santa Claus vs the martians.
how much for to build one...?
this thing is fucking awesome!
this guy sounds like seth green but much older
awesome :D
Looks like something from the Fallout series. 3,4 and New Vegas.
Does the rocket work?
Don't hit a bump or that windshield divider will cut you in half
Forward to the past? Or visa versa... Because the speedometer suspiciously "not working"....
The title should probably mention that it is not really a rocket car, but maybe that's just me....
It is kinda like those guys who put Ferarri badges on their Pontiac Fiero, not really a Ferarri....
wasnt this on storage hunters?
With all regulations, test requirements and making sure these differ from other parts of the world by the US car legal systems, with insurance companies being nit-picky, and stories about the US DMV - how can this be put on the road (as al other "custom built" cars)?
Is it just me or does this remind you of Despicable Me?
