(car revving down the road)
- [Narrator] To me, driving is freedom.
Whether you're driving down the block,
or you wanna drive across the country,
you're in control of where you go.
That's why driving is important.
(car revving down the road)
This car, especially, because my aunt and uncle
purchased it new when I was a really small child.
I remember going for rides in it.
I used to love looking at this car,
and hearing it, and I dreamed
of someday owning it.
Took them a while, but eventually,
they did sell it to me.
The magic is still there when I walk up to this car.
I see that distinctive paint gleaming in the sun,
those chrome mag wheels ... opened the door,
climb inside, smell the vinyl interior.
It's the same cool car that I remember
from when I was a kid.
(pop music)
The color is called honey gold,
and I always likened this to one of my hot wheels
cars when I was a kid cause it
has that cool, kinda custom look to it.
Of course, it has a V-8 engine.
It's the four barrel version of the 289,
and my uncle put dual exhaust on almost right away,
so the rumble, and the sound, and the look
of this car all kinda went together
as my personal fantasy of a custom car.

(engine roaring)
What I love about driving this car,
particularly on a great, empty winding road is that
I feel like I'm really driving it.
I'm shifting the gears on the
four-speed manual transmission.
It's the sensation of driving it
and feeling like I'm connected to the road.
(car speeding down the roadway)
I remember getting one of my first stick-shift
lessons in this very car when I was 15,
and had my learner's permit. My uncle gave me
some lessons and he was pretty patient,
but I was horrible. We switched seats
and he said, "Let me show you how it's done."
He popped the clutch and he smoked that tire
all the way down the block.
(car engine roaring)
(car speeding down the road)
This is my uncle's pride and joy.
He took such good care of it, he was really good
about all the maintenance, things like oil changes.
When he finally sold it to me, I felt like
he was trusting me with his baby.
(car speeding down the highway)
This car is a connection to an earlier time
in my life when I was just in awe of cars.
It's a connection to my family and people
like my uncle who would teach me about cars.
My name is Dave Kunz and this, is why I drive.

LEGO Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback review! 75884 - Duration: 8:36.
hello everyone this is the lego speed champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Set
been looking forward to showing you this one I first want you to look at the car
with just one sticker on it I felt it was absolutely crucial to put that one
sticker on the front but otherwise leaving everything off helps you to see
the shape and the real build of the car which i think is actually really really
good and very accurate to the source material especially as viewed from the
side and from kind of the quarter angles I think as you get closer to straight on
or straight from the back you see just how narrow the dome is you know the
whole the whole roof section in the windscreen it's all four studs white
which is a major contrast against the six stud wide base but from most angles
I think it looks fantastic actually I could easily see rebuilding this without
the white pieces just replace those with green and black and you look like a
beautiful little slightly slightly modified Street car you know it's got
the little bit of hood bulge on there hood scoop which actually looks great
with that Nexo Knights shield insert piece having
the two openings at the front it almost looks like those are air inlets two
separate ones it's almost as if it was intentional I think that the designer
definitely thought of that and realized that upon trying it I think the shaping
around the front looks good the use of the newer style of fender that turns
under and doesn't go straight down at the widest points is crucial works out
great for this car will probably work out great for many other cars from this
era as well so much of this is done well oh yeah the logo on the back here that's
great that's not a sticker told you I put only one sticker on this that is a
print and they'll give you two of those in the set officially one but you know
it's a one by one piece a plate so they do give you spare that's
a that's a real treat to get that as a as a prince rather than a sticker
because you know they've been doing one by one stickers on a bunch of the cars
in the speed champions line but here they gave a sprint yeah yeah I don't
think Lego these days as a rule will do stickers for one by one round pieces at
least not anymore I've seen them do a lot of interesting one-off or limited
production prints for those but before I put the stickers back on we just open
this up let you see that this has the tan interior and just the brown seat no
console or anything but just a steering wheel it is a little bit open towards
the rear which lets you see inside there a bit I don't mind it I think it's okay
alright I'll put the stickers on so yeah it's it's not entirely transformative
but I felt that the the stripes and the extra graphics kind of distracted a bit
from shape but these are pretty tasteful they went for a an old classic Trans Am
kind of kind of suggestion of of graphics here and I think they did a
pretty good job nice choices of colors through and through for the whole thing
well the plastic pieces and with the stickers you know ideally the number of
plates on the sides would have been set up in you know nice circles also instead
but I much prefer having the actual build there I have no problem with that
and stripes do go across the roof pretty well not too bad there I like what
they've done on the hood as well big ole a Lego logo they will Ford logo as well
I like the the other like the speed champions and the clutch on stickers
there those are nicely vintage of fide yeah not bad like this I just personally
really like having the option to leave the stickers off especially for a
classic car like this and would have been just perfect if they'd
also included parts to replace these three on each side so that you could
take the the white out and leave the stickers off most of the stickers off if
you want and have a different look instead we get this as the side build
and I don't know this one doesn't really do much for me some of the side bills
that they've done even when they're really small if they have if they have
like a start/finish line set up or a little bit of side of the track a little
bit of berm or something you know those are cool
I appreciate the Ford logo there this does look like it could add something to
a scene if you don't think about it much but if you think about it I mean what is
it trying to show you there is it 94 0.53 seconds quarter-mile what's with
the quarter mile this is a road chorus car not a drank car I don't I just don't
see much value in this personally the driver once again gets the tan
vintage racing suit with print only for the torso and for the face that is
printed on the front and the back I think it looks pretty good especially
from a little bit of distance up this close you see the major difference in in
contrast and I think also the sharpness of the black red blue lines versus the
brown that's in there that Browns just a little bit fuzzy relatively looks really
nice and sharp and consistent around the back and there's what that one face
looks like which is pretty cool good little set definitely clearly made with
a lot of love and some some solid teamwork back and forth a lot of
communication between Lego and Ford and or at least one classic car enthusiasts
probably classic Ford Racing enthusiasts because the combinations of things that
were put together here with the colors the style of the striping with the
wheels also the hood bulge that's probably from a different spec of car
just feels like they brought a few different classic
Mustangs into a single car here and they did it very tastefully and that's that's
not easy to do it I'm not sure it's possible to do that without really
knowing what you're doing without at least doing some research if not having
some true experience with the subject matter obviously a lot of people are
going are going to easily make the parallel between this car especially
with the the green it was a Highland green I think they called it and the
Steve McQueen Bullitt car this is just another similar similar car I think just
a customer car but you can't really make it fully dream without doing a lot of
heart replacements and actually beneath the hood bulge they're bulging or
scooped there are some more pieces that need to be replaced so if you want to go
full on that route do expect to spend some money on brick link but as I showed
I think it looks really good just leaving almost all the stickers off
however I do strongly recommend and wish they had included replacements of parts
to to take the rest of the white out of the number of plates on the sides and
then you get a really nice classic like modded Street model and it's still even
even even having to replace those parts if you want or even not replacing them I
still think it's a really really good little set and I appreciate what went
into it so there you go my thoughts on this set you've seen what it looks like
now I'm gonna move on thanks for watching I'll talk to you soon

2014 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew Cab Walk Around - Duration: 2:44.
This is a 2014 f-150 XLT and my name is Robert Woolner and this is Cavalcade
Right here we got a ruby red paint tri-coat color 17" alloy wheels, all-season tires.
Its got an ecoboot engine in it so 365lbs. horsepower 420lbs torque.
capable of this particular one of 9600 pounds inside we got a bench seat and notice how it does
have storage in here flips up and underneath is more storage as well this
these cupholders slides in and out it has a USB port line in obviously
equipped with your SYNC which is you could download your contacts and
Bluetooth media you have your trailer brake controller built in has cruise
control 4 high 4 low back up sensors which I'll show you in a sec here this
this is a crew cab so in its class has more about six inches more room than any other truck in
its class so you notice the space flat flat loading floor these seats fold down
nice and nice and flat
So this a 5 1/2ft. box equipped with a tailgate step.
So its an unshockable tailgate here but you can open up this step. Flip it open like this.
Opens up, easy access, there's no back-breaking work loading into the box here.
and tie-downs all throughout the box. Guys see how easy that is?
these are really tough like this truck is built to withstand a lot of abuse so
you also got easy fuel so filling up the vehicle there's capless on those
long road trips there worries about forgetting the cap. Door codes you can
enter the vehicle without a key very handy when you lock your keys in your
car or you have to grab something out of the house & you don't have your keys.
