Famous last words... "I can do a better burnout"
LSD : Yeah.... Not today son....

"I don't know how to end the video"

FD RX7: "Don't worry fam I gotchu"

[easygoingdude]

Ben : "Let's end this video with a BANG!"

Car : "Ok dude you asked for it..."

Your sentiment at the end about fixing things wrong with it is how I've felt about bikes I still own but don't ride hardly at all, and my end of year goal after I finish this last build of the year is to fix all those small little annoying issues that make me not want to ride certain bikes. I ride my XS650 almost every day, but everything else just sits. Guess that's the problem with owning a bunch of vehicles; there's a never ending to-do list, and if you start tackling the issues, being in the garage working on the same old bikes can feel like purgatory lol.

How it started: There's a few issues, heavy steering, clutch, oil
How it's going: Blew up diff trying to get some B-Roll content

4:14 Converting gallons to cubic inches as if it makes the math easier for me, is the most cleaver way to make fun of my European ass. I have to give Ben a credit for that one 😂

[mitchelldykens]

My god I did NOT expect that ending lmao

[HondaStreetGarage]

Well, ....shit. I almost wanted an RX7.

[danielreigada]

I like how you converted your RX7 gas tank capacity from Gallons to cubic inches for the non-U.S. viewers. I'm sure that was very helpful to them.🤣

6:36 Honestly, I love this car. It sounds so good listening to it. Wish I could drive it myself. It's probably the best part about your rotary RX-7 videos, just you driving it with just the sound, no music or voice over, just a turbo, exhaust, and road noise.

When you said you're going to fix the things you dislike about your FD, I had a brief moment of panic followed by visions of pushrods and bald eagles flying through the air. But then you fixed the diff like a boss, and all was right in the world again because your FD was back in its natural state...broken ;)

With all the “challenges” of ownership, … 6:42-8:50… those two minutes make it all worth it. That was almost therapeutic. Thanks for all you do and all the content you produce.

Dear K- Ben. Your content is better than the juiciest, most expensive steak in the world. So get better and get back in the game. Your team needs you, and I need you. Love you brother.

Can I say that I’m really happy to see a car YouTube channel that doesn’t cut the yellow line when driving mountain roads? Cause I’m honestly pretty happy you’re showing good driving discipline.

[ritik]

Ben: let’s do burnouts
Rx7: trust me pal you are not that guy

[dylandominic]

Really converted from gallons to cubic inches, thank you that really helped with determining how large the fuel tank is

[RajPatel-vqif]

Thank you for showing us what it is like to actually live with a classic car. A lot of the times the internet hypes up these cars and they definitely are very special cars but rarely do people actually talk about what it is like to live with and all the expenses and impracticality that comes with it.

[thomass]

And I tought I had bad luck when the battery in my RX8 died on me yesterday... Thanks for keeping the rx7 content going.

You need a differential brace to be doing that. Stock FD diff and trans are really only good below for under 400 hp. Might as well get a transmission brace while you’re at it. Also if you drop your diff to fix it, relocate the fuel filter- the stock position is really hard to access, it is above the diff

[newbiedebater]

We appreciate the sacrifice for the good of the channel. G&G has quickly become one of my favorite channels and every video is a must watch. Trying to go back in time and catch up on all the old content now.
