    "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow" -- this is pretty much it.
  • Sweet to see Linus finally got his driver's license, he's growing up so fast
  • @user-ru2he7tm2t
    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this wasn't your most expensive mistake, not by a long shot
  • @GoofieNewfie
    I'm a hard-core car guy so obviously I watch a lot of car stuff. I also watch reviews that are more into details. But I like that you guys are doing your style car videos. A break from the norm. I would have a hard time buying this too with markup but can appreciate what it is for sure.
  • I appreciate that Alex is willing to recognize when he "ran out of skill". That's a very good mindset.
  • Watching Linus basically reviewing a car is the weirdest thing to me. It's like when you have two VERY different friend groups who suddenly meet each other and you're not sure how you're supposed to act or even feel about the situation😂
  • @warrenzonator
    I always find new perspectives on car reviews interesting. It's interesting to see techies talk about cars, because they focus more on experience than typical car specs
  • @TheDroneExperiment
    "I have made a very expensive mistake" ... this title hasn't aged well.
  • As a car guy, the saying of “it’s more fun to drive a slow car faster than a fast car slow” rains true especially with Toyota GR lineup. They are absolutely phenomenal vehicles, considering what you get
  • it’s very interesting to hear non car guys try to talk about cars and show enthusiasm. it warms my heart a little.
  • @ankit_mangesh
    Ok I just picked up mine today... at MSRP, used but practically new at 300 miles. Apparently the first owner got it, got buyer's remorse and traded in for a rav4. God bless him, I'm having a heck of a time. It's a white loaded core model, has basically everything I could ask for, plus extended comprehensive warranty.
  • @sioux4358
    As a car and computer guy, love seeing this. I think you guys would do really well with a car focused channel.
  • @BCtrapcat
    Linus is low key a true car guy by accident. It doesn't need to be fast, just fun and it's cool to see someone like Linus really understand that.
  • The dealership problem is only getting worse I’m glad some people are being in attention to it
  • @sonofulti1337
    Well, this video title could've been used twice recently..
  • @BBRBGR
    Funny that you made a video about making a huge expensive mistake ... only to detonate LTT wtih a series of huge and undoubtedly expensive mistakes.
  • Linus: Gas cars? What year is it!?! Also Linus: I miss having a stick shift.
  • @zackmagee7077
    “ I can’t justify buying a Toyota Corolla, so I’m going to continue driving my Porsche”. I love this guy
  • @65749374
    A very expensive mistake indeed
  • @ojaschandegave
    I am a car guy, and I can confirm that ltt...a tech channel...made the most non tech video possible by a tech channel. And I love it!
