I think this is equally ridicilous as going to the library, while thinking to yourself "Im going to show off my reading skills to these people!". Then picking up a kids book and very loudly reading it out loud.
There's one thing, for sure, that the Century has that none of the "supercars" (or any luxury car) will ever have: the painstakingly lacquered 7-layer paint job polished to a mirror finish.
The lacquer technique Century painters reference is called _maki-e_ [蒔絵] which is also the type of lacquerware used to make fine dinnerware, food boxes, calligraphy/writing kits, ceremonial vases, and other containers.
The owner's advice about letting it warm up is gold. Any pinhead should know that revving ANYTHING when it's cold can bend valves, scar dry pistons or sleeves, bend pushrods... And a plethora of other horrors. Nice Century, by the way... I wonder why no one calls them "Rollayotas"?
The number three mechanic for all of Firestone in the entire United States told me that basically everything you just said is a myth, atleast with any car of the last 2 decades.
@@aeriagloris4211 Besides the fact that the number three mechanic for all of Firestone in the entire United States relies on people breaking things in their car for a job, if the oil isn't at operating temperature, you'll get an alarming amount of metal shavings that stick to the magnetic drain plug which are basically your pistons being worn away. In addition, any mechanic at Firestone in the entire United States is either going to avoid telling you about the fact that your car is magically losing a handful of metal shavings each oil change and wait for something to explode, or they'll try and upcharge you for a blinker fluid change using that as an excuse.

9.30 That mclaren wasting earth resources just to make flames out of his exhaust and toyota prius quietly trying to exit parking spot at the same time really had me.
amazing to see the guy in the mclaren loving and appreciating the century, smiling laughing and thumbs up as well. really shows how good the car community is there
Your car may shoot flames but my car plays porn in the back seat. Holy shit I never had a comment over 10 likes, thank you all for the likes Damn this is crazy thank you guys for over 900 likes
@Matthew Gray repeatedly free-revving the engine like that until the ECU cuts the spark is not good. It puts huge strain on rotating components, and also washes the cylinder walls with fuel which is detrimental to the protective oil barrier. The unburnt fuel the exits via the exhaust, degrading the sensors and catalytic convertors before exiting as flame.
Basically due to the quantity of cylinder you have even though your still riding on the lower rpms you have more cylinders going on. Basically why the American V8s have a rumbles also take a look at the Detroit 2 strokes, those diesels scream.
Not even 2 mins in and yall making me feel OLD AF!!! hahahahah. That VHS Tape was probably fine, you just needed to either adjust the tracking OR clean the heads in tha player lol. Its like the exact opposite of watching cavemen play with fire HAHHAAH Love the vid already tho and just subbed! Cheers fam!
I never went to Japan but i know the meeting parking place and the highway like the palm of my hand....thank you Assetto Corsa modders,your work is truly outstanding!
Hard-Offs are the best. My wife and I would spend hours in them. Most of them have guitars, furniture, clothes, super famicoms that are basically new, retired slot machines, those anime figures, old toys, playing cards, and way more.
With the VHS player, you gotta get a VHS tape cleaner. The internals of the player is probly filthy which is the cause of the video quality being all messed up.
Most things on RU-vid are click bait just to get views.... they dont care and think it's cool, and they're normally super trashy people in general if they take off the comment section, only because they know they're going to die soon for being lame as fuck. Got to love the digital age 😔
10:34 Japan is probably the only place where they would still put their hazard lights on to say thank you even though they were waiting like 5 mins just to get out of their spot lol
Back in the day, most home vhs players had a tiny little turn knob, usually labelled "tracking". That would adjust the fuzziness and static of the cassette. Hope this advice is helpful.
@@FFM0594 I feel sorry for the collectors. You gotta have them in a like a vacuum for them to survive. Lastly, CDs and DVDs are gonna go bye bye in the future as well. Some of mine are deteriorating.
These guys have a special talent to stage fun scenery. Such as choosing suitable VHS material. How fun is much likely in he eyes of the beholder but neverheless, likely enjoyable to some.
The Century is beautiful. What a classy car. On the flipside I feel almost a bit sorry for these people whose raison d'etre seems to be driving and revving along crowded city boardwalks, begging for attention. How incredibly poor is that? Good trolling!
In cities like LA and Monaco it is normal to see super cars. People say cool car can I take a picture with your car, the people on the sidewalk even ask you to revv the engine of your car. In my country they think of you as a show off when you drive a supercar or they flat out ignore you. Lot of this comes from jealousy, as soon as they win the lottery they buy a supercar themselves and they are the ones revving the engine along city and beach boardwalks. My dad and I were on a super yacht and a woman who herself had a smaller yacht yet still expensive she started yelling at my father what a rich asshole he was and a show off. Funny thing was my father was bringing the super yacht to his owner, my father didnt own the super yacht himself.
@@2012inca I'been to Monaco, Cannes, Tropez many times and yes, car posing is a thing there. Doesn't make it less ridiculous. You can experience this in any major city center during evening hours (Zurich for example). Owning a car means nothing. In my neighborhood even the room Maid of a nearby hotel was driving around in a Maserati. These things are meaningless from a wealth point of view. The only things of value are investment goods, machines etc... Anything with a return of investment. Envying a car is a concept I never understood. Revving them up and passing by the coffee shop I'm sitting in just annoys me. It may be fun the first 5 minutes, but after a while I guarantee you it just becomes annoying.
@@danield.7359 Me too I have been there many times, also LA where you have them too. My friend had these kind of cars and were part of a car club with fast cars. You have people who love cars so much they buy one even they cant afford them. Revving a supercar is different when people ask you to revv your car because they love cars.That is differen then revving a car in a city at night where people dont like it. What I feel is not right that as soon as someone drives a Ferrari they are immediately a holes and showoffs, while you can also think that man is drivihg in a piece of art. There is a big difference driving a super car in Monaco, LA then in other cities, there people react more positively to people driving super cars. Some people love collecting stamps and other people like collecting super cars. These car fans even buy them when they cant afford them. From investment point of view it is not smart, but there are exceptions. Some super cars can be used as investment of which you know the price will go up. My friend can sell his super car a limited editon for 50.000 dollars more. You have to really be into cars to know which cars will go up in value. Lots of people will react negatively when you drive such a car, but the same people buy such cars when they inherit money or get money in other ways. So a lot stems from jealousy, people keying them, walking over them, doing skateboard trucks on them, throwing rocks, breaking the front window. That comes from jealousy and is quite pathetic honestly.
Looks like you needed to buy a VHS head cleaner and demagnetizer along with those tapes. Old VHS decks will require cleaning if not used for a long time, and that one looked like it really needed demagnetizing as well.
Hahaha that oldschool promo is too good. What people don't understand is that the Century is a status symbol in Japan for politicians, CEOS and businessmen.
0:33 Bro, thats the water temp gauge, that warms up way faster than the oil (which you want to be warm to have fun). Give it more like 15-20 minutes to warm up, i assume the V12 has a pretty high oil volume.
