Rocky Mountain Race Week Bonus Day 8: The Drive Home! Elvis Has Problems + Exploring Small Towns

so we went to the carriage crossing place in yoder i told mitchell to go get in this cart for a picture but i don't know how well that will work i think i'm gonna break it yeah i'm gonna do it anyway but that's sketchy now you just need like a lantern and a horse on the front am i paul revere paul revere yeah yeah i guess so no he rode a horse this is like the suspension's pretty good in this thing you could probably take some jumps did i break it oh my god get off of it yeah okay well yeah this thing don't know where it came from so much for amish craftsmanship i didn't even do anything we're still in yoder i stopped serving breakfast at 10 30 which is crap because i wanted some freaking pancakes so we just ate like regular food it was it was all right i wasn't super impressed but i guess you guys didn't say to actually go eat there you guys said get a cinnamon roll which is what we did but we haven't eaten that yet but now we're gonna before we hit back on the highway we're gonna drive through the yodering area see what yoder is all about see if there's any toyota's in here we're in a heavy amish land here now look at this this is the farmer she dressed just like the waitresses in the carriage crossing coffee filter and everything i just like to talk about something real quick relative to amish people and us car guys and how i think that the amish people are actually a great example and a reason not to freak out about anything as far as the world goes on with electric vehicles and stuff and people say oh everything will be ev and self-driving in 20 years well first of all i doubt it second of all if it is cool i would i would drive in an electric suburban if it had 900 foot pounds of torque that'd be sweet but you can bet your ass i'm going to keep on my other ones too and i'm going to drive them somewhere whether they like it or not they can't get rid of those completely they can stop selling them but they're never going to go away for this reason you know 150 years ago people rode horses everywhere now everybody drives cars except those guys except the amish people they still ride their freaking horses everywhere if they want to they have the option so maybe someday there will be like car guy amish type communities where the roads are like they are now and we drive everywhere and have our own farms with ethanol for us to drive places with because we don't want to give up our right to drive our own vehicle if there's a world where everything is easy and self-driving i will be the guy who pioneers the communities for people who still want to burn gas and hear engines do stuff and turn their own steering wheel maybe that'll be my thing i don't know but my point is it's never gonna go away completely and just like people don't ride horses everywhere the equestrian industry is still huge even if you're not amish people own horses they race them they do things with them people have freaking horses for fun it's just it's a fabric of humanity just like hot rodding and vehicles are for us in this country and i i believe that that cannot be taken no matter what but in the meantime you need to go do something about it sign the rfe max go look listen to brent's video from pfi he got some major fine for selling hon data modules 37 of them i think and you got to find for 18 000 from the epa no warning nothing they just here you go and if he doesn't pay it you know it'll go up like hundred thousand dollars and they give you an option to finance it at some ridiculous interest rate how's that cool how does that make any sense the only way that we keep our stuff alive is if we take it seriously and speak up and you can sign the rpm act more than once it sends an email to your representative if you blow up their freaking inbox they will do something about it i know my personal local representative that i sent the email about it he owns car dealerships he's a car guy i know that because i like know him and he's on the right side a lot of these people are but you got to say something about it cause the people always have the power that's what makes uh this country what it is why don't you have your own debate in the comments would you live in a air quote amish car guy community where it's like isolated from all the other stupid people where you can drive whatever kind of car you want and everything runs on ethanol from its own sustained farms how about that sounds pretty cool to me i found an abandoned amusement park in wichita you can see some remnants of the structures in there and the weirdest thing is is we drove through a neighborhood to get in here which is i don't know what is this oh we got some couches no hotel today no we can just sleep on the road that thing there's like a little trolley track there there's definitely some interesting stuff going on in here no lightering dang it i wanted to loiter today the destination is on your right 2400 east wassall street arrived and there's people zipping around on quads like they live in that neighborhood i kind of want to ask him like hey is like can you walk around in there without getting thrown in jail because we literally there's two dudes around the quad and they just went right on past the sign that said no motor vehicles like they didn't care at all that's the parking lot back in there and there's really if you look on google earth there's not a whole lot left of this place but you can see it's in the middle freaking neighborhood it's just so strange i don't even know i'm sure you can get in there if you really want to but i don't feel like getting arrested today do you feel like getting arrested today just not done looking at stuff yet i think we're in perry oklahoma now and we still need ice for the cooler because quick trip didn't have any we found this weird you know this ice tower thingy so we're gonna use it and go find stuff we already passed like three abandoned gas stations and diners and things it's pretty neat well they don't even have any bags left so the quick trip in wichita was out they're out of bags here there must just be a national ice shortage in the american midwest because it's cracking right there it's been a bazillion degrees they're out of out of ice everywhere because everyone is melting down this place looks cool so we're gonna just look at it it's an actual functioning gas station still but it's like all historical and awesome which is basically the coolest thing ever because it's cool to look at and it still works does this thing still work 60 cents oh my god this looks like it's from the 80s yeah my like great grandfather did stuff with like rc cola when i was like i don't know when my mom was little and he always had like rc cola and like snacks all the old sinclair stuff that's the coolest thing they even took they have original old signs up there that you could tell they've been clear-coated and stuff so they look old but they're not gonna get worse that's awesome check this place out i found this when i lived here oh they closed the road that gate was not there before it's an entrance to a subdivision that was unfinished there's a whole complex back there where it's just roads and cul-de-sacs with no houses or sidewalks and stuff and there's also an abandoned horse farm like a pretty freaking big building for trotting your ponies around and stuff back there but looks like they finally shut the gate because before i just drove back there i drove all the way back there without any um any issues you can see some of this stuff if it's like right against the back of this on-cue it's weird i think right there it looks like it might have been the the horse keeper's house or something and there's little sheds and if you go up there then there's the big the big one there's like two big ones and there's another one that's like half falling in or before i drove up there and i just parked and walked right up this little driveway and it was all all there it's been empty for a long time but it was still in pretty good shape like it could be fixed up and used good timing gonna check the straps though they need to be tightened pretty badly i'm gonna tie these up too well i always stopped at this brahms and right before i got out i decided to pop up with reduced engine power for no reason while we're just sitting here idling this has happened to me before and absolutely nothing seemed to be the cause of it so i just tried to clear it sometimes it does except for during the big texas freeze it did not clear i don't know why so maybe because it was cold that it was doing that i really don't know i really hope that this works otherwise we're gonna have have a problem of some capacity well i'm just going to unhook the batteries for a little bit touch the connectors together and see if that'll reset it i sure hope i can get this figured out otherwise we can't get anywhere and we're stuck in ardmore nobody wants to be in ardmore oklahoma for anything ever anyway so yeah race week is not over yet apparently so touch the thingies together on both sides to make sure because i don't know if you have to do them both or just the main one i don't know but i did it let's see if that decided to do anything nope it's still there what the [Music] how i drove forward about three feet to get myself more out of the way and it just went away the reduced engine power just went away i don't know why maybe it has something to do with the battery terminal reset i don't know the pedal could be bad really not sure i heard there's a common wire chafe issue on these trucks so um i guess on my agenda for this week is to dig into that check all the common chafing spots for those maybe find a new pedal before we drive to streetcar takeover charlotte which by the way if you're in the charlotte area we will be there with uncle rob we will have merch so come on out get some stuff say hi so i found out that it will clear if i'm moving which is weird but now it's doing it literally every 30 seconds i just hold this and clear it and keep going good news is we're only about 55 miles away from the shop so i can keep doing this for the next hour yay i know what i'm doing tomorrow figuring out why elvis is screwed up you know the funny part is we have elvis shirts now they're at the shop and he's giving me a fit good job bro just let me try to help you out i think i got this ironed out now i don't know if it's a wire chain then use the right leg to take exit 467 on the right onto i-35w south what i've won i've concluded that it does it every single time i let off the throttle every single time so i just cleared it here we go let it off there it is clear it okay i'm in the final letter exit 467 on the right south toward fort worth every time that makes me think it's more of a pedal thing than a um wire chaff thing because if it's it's related to what i do with the penalty i just let off the cuffs down this thing keep right just did it again which is why when we're moving it will clear but when you're stopped the pedal is that holy outward stopper makes sense to me this is all very interesting i hope you guys are learning something from our trials and tribulations i've been sitting here clearing this every couple minutes or every 30 seconds for the last 20 miles and we've still got another 41 to go so we're having a good time race week is not over yet we get bonus day with bonus exploration and bonus problems so you're getting boned yes we're getting all the bone today i'm glad you guys are here to enjoy the reality of this life because i don't think anyone else really shows you what they deal with on their way back from an event where they just make a bunch of videos or just want to go home and they probably have a newer truck doesn't have 300 000 miles on it it doesn't do stupid stuff like this see i'll make it come on again here we go ding ding ding clear it you guys want to hear it again here we go oh we made it back to the shop you're gonna unload everything you don't go wrong back inside the pedal problem with elvis is definitely a pedal problem because for the rest of the drive i just sat there clearing it every time i let off it would do it every time and it won't clear when you're on cruise control because the pedal is that like full full out so that's just weird it has to be something with the pedal feels like we've been gone for a really really long time well we had all kinds of stuff to unload i hope you enjoy this kind of more informal real life look at what happens after these events too and like i said before casualties of streetcar take over charlotte coming up we're going to have merch with us but if you aren't going to be there you get the same stuff on the website i'm not this shirt this is discontinued but like the hat i'm wearing stabletonautoworks.com guess what what and these hoodies are still there we still got a few of them left grab yourself one of those before winter i know it's june but we're never gonna do that style again so if you ever want that get it now and put in your closet and pull it out in october glad you're here glad you followed along this whole race week saga it's been a lot of fun and meeting people at tracks and hearing what they had to say is just really cool because we're really not aware of how much this stuff can like positively impact people's lives until you actually come up and say it to us and it's just really cool what are you looking for oh she's eager to start unloading things so we can go home you have anything to say like my balls a little bit of an update here just sitting here editing this video now after the full next day first full day we've been back we drove elvis around all day and it did not do the thing not once i don't know why does anybody know anything about this because i can't even go to fix it if it's not doing it what am i going to do put a new pedal in it oh it doesn't do it anymore well wasn't not doing it now so how am i supposed to know what's wrong i don't know we drove around a good bit today too over a quarter tank's worth of diesel good bit you didn't do it not one time i don't know i guess when we drive to charlotte i'll just bring the code reader thingy with me and send it i don't know anyway check out these elvis shirts they're freaking sweet here's the front oh man that's awesome boom oh my gosh why does elvis look so freaking cool because he is cool it looks like a broncos logo even more than the last well that's your eyeballs i think it looks like freaking awesome it looks like the mane it's supposed to be a a joke on the uncle rapture because it's the exact same graphic just facing the other way with the truck facing the other way anything is a race car if you race it boom those bfgs though seriously the coolest thing ever oh my gosh the elvis badge yeah he may say elvis on the door he didn't see that before yeah he's a bro jacob's the man wow i never even caught that i said uncle rob there yeah that made me want to look there sweet sweet are you excited oh i'm so excited we're so happy like this is my truck this is my stallion right here so it makes sense it looks like you think it looks like a broncos logo elvis is the stallion just the way it is his elvis hung he called him a stallion yeah he's got that five-inch tailpipe these shirts will be on the website before this video goes live so go to stapletonworks.com get yourself a super dirt nasty elvis shirt and uh it's only fitting that elvis told you to suck it today yeah it almost give me all kinds of problems and um yeah now he's on a shirt so he's officially a race car that's why his problems are starting but this is all that we have is in this box so there's no no big charade here what's in this box is all we got better jump on before they're gone if you want one so staplesnotworks.com we'll see you there
