(13,685 characters)All-wheel drive is much better. This is a real snow apocalypse, Charlotte's version. Elvis' old tires on the Escalade. We're going to go out and see what it can do in the snow. Actually, we'll take everything out to test it in the snow. Even cards. But I won't get into karts. So you'll have to manage. Yes. Okay, let's get this thing going. We have four-wheel drive engaged , let's see if we can do some donuts. I think we should start a "cash" business, Karlin. What will I do? I guess I'll go while the door is open. Yes. Finally warmed up and ready. It is very capricious in the cold because it is still on ethanol. The settings are not designed for such cold. When would you even use this? It's so funny—watching him let the exhaust condensate out onto those tires in the snow. It's just a complete change of state. Yes. Does anyone else intentionally take their 2000 horsepower turbocharged LS out into the snow? No. Only us. These tires may rub a little, but that's okay. So, it works really well. Can you go out and film this? Yes. You won't kill me? No. Good. to say how strange it is. The video from my phone looks much better to me. Well, we can use both. This is why you should never trust a GoPro today. I just want to say, if you're not subscribed, then we probably deserved it by doing this. Nobody else, it's the coolest thing in the world. We're just having fun here. Okay, I'll twist a little more . These BFGs look incredibly good. I will do that. This thing is almost too good to drift on this little patch. That was really cool. Really? Yes. Do you think we should try Monte Carlo now? Yes. We'll get stuck. I don't even care. We'll pull it out in an Escalade, because this thing, like, really works. Everything is fine. You could manage this. These tires, by the way, are almost bald. And they're, like...I'd drive to the store in them right now. However, old all-terrain tires are very different from regular ones. Yes, these tires really grip the snow well. White lettering BFG. You won't find anything better. Okay, back to the GoPro 8. Oh, back to this old one. It's strange, almost unsurprising, that the screen in front is no longer there . I'm kind of used to it now. Are the janitors working? They used to work, but they're kind of sluggish or just so slow when you turn them on that they take 20 minutes. It seems like you've been using them for days, and that's it . I...I don't know. Just wipe them with your hands. Mr. Pennsylvania, he's never cold. Use my hand. Are you cold? No. I knew it. People used to say, "Oh, you're so resilient." You want to show off because you're from Maine or somewhere else . I don't care . I grew up in Pennsylvania, I'm used to this . Keep yours to yourself. Half the world sees snow. This is normal. Oh, it's not snow. That's not enough snow to be considered snow. You don't know what real snow is. You...you just don't know what snow is. Yes, it's the same. You just see him more often. I left Pennsylvania to get away from it, because salt ruins everything. You won't see anything here . It's too foggy. Yes. Well, we'll still be stuck. So everything is fine. I'll drop you off at the same place. This echo is very cool. I don't know if you can hear it on camera. All-wheel drive is much better. Steeply. Thank you. You too . Rear-wheel drive—it sucks. through the belt. Really? Yes. That's why I didn't come back for you. Oh, and I thought you were just acting like an idiot. No. Guys. You broke it. You left. Everything is fine. We are fine. Everything is fine. This is enough to get home. No...Oh, well, we can keep it. They can go and tell me. Yes. You know, it's just breathing at a steady 235 right now. It's steaming a little. I wonder if we turn the key, will the fan turn on? Yes. Aha. Now you turn on your brain. You see, that's why I was making fun of you. When you watch the video, you'll hear me making fun of you for not being cold. It's not even real snow. It doesn't cool down fast enough. Oh, yes. gives a little to the generator. I think it's time for go-karting. Time for go-karting. You know, we've never even run this kart . We don't even know if it works. Yes. Get dressed. A fireproof suit is needed more for warmth than for anything else. Besides, it's funny. This is funny. This is really funny. This is NASCAR. Aha. You have to get on one knee, pose, and I'll Photoshop Dayton from behind, like they do in photos from the starting line. This is it. Aha. I think it's worth trying to start it here and then roll it out, because it's warmer here. Maybe he'll like it. Shut up, Ruger. I don't even know how to start it. He didn't give us instructions, like, here's the suction. Here it is. Ask Rob. We'll see if it starts. I think if there were any strange demands, he would have warned. Apparently, everything is quite simple. So, let's try. It's like a lawn mower. Yes, they are all like that. Oh, I didn't know. You thought it had a "start" button, like some... Well, I didn't know if there was some special way to start it. Maybe there's a tiny key or something. I don't know. That would be really cool. Now we just pull on this string. I was struggling without even trying. Let 's pull this string. Maybe there's something we don't know about. You can ask Rob, he lives right next door. Oh, there's a wire here. There is a button here. You know about that secret button. This is the emergency stop button. That's what it is . I bet he'll leave now. Here it is, it has begun. Jump in. Okay, give him some gas. Aha. Keep pushing. I'm holding. Hold the gas. Aha. I never thought she was as cool as she is now. This thing needs more gas. Yeah, keep it at full throttle. We're getting a little carried away. Ha? Maybe it would help if you added weight to the back. Okay, come on. Not too much. I am too heavy. Aha. They laughed. Do you want to take them back to the garage to put in a qualifying engine? I'm just saying that it's here with me. You're really driving. It would probably work better on flat asphalt , not on potholes. That's right. If it were flat, it would be fine, but it clings to the roof. I am faster. So, Kevin , how does it feel? It was good. Want to thank your sponsors? Oh, a shot in the exhaust. Steeply. That was... I thought it was more fun than anything else, even though I was just watching. I would like to thank Delmare's Blonde Care for giving me the opportunity today. No, seriously, thank you Travis Bell, because if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have this map. Yes, we want to thank our owner Travis Bell and our sponsor Stapleton Autoworks, whose logo we haven't put on yet because MPRE and Delmare's Lawn Care didn't renew their agreement. However, we, uh, don't have a new vinyl sticker. We have a budget team, so this is the best we can do. But Travis is a great team owner, and this place really needs one of those outlet covers . Yes, it is necessary. Small. Yes. So, we're going to go to a better venue. Let's go. Ready to go back? Let's take a look under the hood. Let 's make sure everything is okay. I'm honestly amazed at how clean it is there. It looks like all the inner fenders have held back all the dirt. Class. We're hitting the road. We will start with a trans-break in four- wheel drive through the snow uphill. There will be a lot of noise, but it will be incredibly cool to watch. Oh my God , it smells so delicious. She was doing that stupid thing again, showing 10 miles per hour, and I was standing still. That's why, that's why when we compete, I never use the trans break, because it doesn't work like hell. Half the time, when you try. You engage first gear and hold the button. Look at the speedometer. You can't see him, little one. Yes, I see. Okay. Well, I don't see it. Yes, it is growing. He is set. It is set up so that the trans brake does not engage above 5 mph, so that you do not accidentally press the button while driving and lock up the transmission. So, it did n't work this time . So, can I sit back down? Yes, we can go. That's enough for today. Now I'm angry. This is like one of those. And now I'm angry. I thought about that too. And now I'm angry. Yeah, that moment from The Office where Michael says, "Hey, Ryan, this is your girlfriend and I'm mad." I rode it a lot in the snow when it was regular, but not like this. Nothing has changed, except that it sounds cooler and slips easier. Oh. I left the window open. It probably shouldn't have been done. Pieces of belt. We'll just put it back and everything will be fine. And we could also play with Uncle Rob and George. But why are Escalades the same ? If they had cool engines, it would be much better. But, um, Uncle Rob half-exploded. His piston melted. And Uncle George barely has enough power to turn his own wheels right now. So we'll drive this thing inside and assess the damage. . I am sitting in the snow. We Yes, I don't see anything. That's it. Oh my God. Don't crush the tire polish in there . We'll do it at 50 mph and call me Dale Earnhardt. None of us were prepared for it to be so uncomfortable. This will be a nice puddle. Yes, that's right. This is a funny picture. And so, I'll just stop by here like nothing happened. No, you're fine. He hates fun. He hates loud noises. Well, it looks like everything is holding up pretty well. Let's make a quick summary of what we found most fun . I think I know your answer. What? Cards? No. Well, you had a chance to go karting. I am not. Yes, I was riding the map, but it got stuck everywhere. And that sucks. Yes, he's stuck. I had to push him. But was it heavy? Not very. Although I had to run after him for about two miles. But then I was moving on my own . Yes. So everything was fine. Yes, it was still difficult. To be honest, watching Monte Carlo wasn't much fun. No, he just sounded cool. It sounded really cool , and the exhaust was cool. It was emitting black smoke. I want to quickly add. We have to give the Monte Carlo credit for not getting stuck on the road. It's kind of stuck in the driveway, but not on the road. So I think it's worth something. Stuck in the driveway two feet from the door. Well, he would have been in the door by now if I could see through the windshield and could maintain momentum when he started moving, but I kept stopping because I didn't want to get caught and crash into the wall. Yes. So, you know, I should have just wiped the windshield, but we're not going to scold Monte Carlo . Not stuck. The belt came off, the engine overheated a lot . I hope we did n't damage anything. A rich mixture. Yes, it seemed to be working fine, and then—poof, and it looked like a smoke bomb had exploded. That's it . Well, it seems like the only problem we have with the Escalade is condensation in the headlights, but it's a good thing we ordered new ones. Everything held up well.

And we have this one, with ICT and Uncle George on it. And there's also a version of the T -shirt with this license plate. And we also have stickers and stuff like that . Fun fact: there will be a new batch of original Escalade T-shirts coming soon. Yes, they will. I'm looking forward to it . We are making another run of the original LS Escalade t-shirts, and then we will release a new design. So if you didn't manage to get the original earlier and want it, stay tuned for updates, because they will appear. Yes, they will. We don't order a large batch. Just long enough for the new design to come out. Yes, that makes sense. Yes, that's right. And we also have caps. This one is probably my favorite right now because it's so comfortable. Adjustable, mesh back. Greetings. Do we even have a size L/XL in Flexfit models? No. Oho. The caps have now been dismantled. S, M, S, M. This is the last one. This is the last cap of this type. So, if you want this cap, well , this is the last one. Who loves Christmas leftovers? Because we love. If you want to have the coolest Christmas sweater next Christmas, grab one of these right now.

Because everyone has "funny " Christmas sweater parties at work or something, or they need a holiday shirt because, like you, they don't want to wear their ridiculous button-down shirt. Aha. So this is your holiday shirt. Yes. This is what I would wear to a Christmas party if we went to one. Well, you wore it for about three days at your mom's house. So three days in a row. stapletonautoworks.com. Where is the link? In the description. Of course. This is terrible. We are so incompetent at this. Sorry. I saw it. No, that's so trite. I hate to advertise our merch, but we have to. Otherwise, no one will know we have it . Yes. So, it's kind of my job. Aha. So, if no one buys anything, I simply don't make any money. So, this is normal. Yes. We're almost This This is all we do. We're just a small business that's digging into cars. And we are glad that we can do this. We are grateful that you are watching us.
