I love the panic and urgency in Mr. Regulars voice when he has no idea where he's going
Sk8mag the passengers aren’t telling him shit
Sk8mag that’s Pittsburgh for you
I'm with Mr.R, a bike is the only way to get thru a city
That's Pittsburgh for you.
When he said "Talk to me! Words! Specifics!" I felt that
The Chevy SS will one day be a collectible. A true modern-day muscle car - awesome sleeper!
These things are iconic in Australia. I think in 40 years, these will have a position the Plymouth Roadrunner holds now: not famous or worshipped like the Charger or Mustang, but fondly remembered.
>no burnouts
NOT A COMMODORE DRIVER
Don't forget spinouts and brush eating on tires balder than Mr. Clean.
If you're not doing a quick slide from the clutch into doing a brakejob in the Hungry Jacks drivethru then you're not a real Australian.
Also Yallah HJ is best HJ.
i am american and have no idea what any of this means but its fun
is this like your sterotypical mustang driver?
@@jOoomOooo According to My Australian friend,yeah.
Still gonna buy a Pontiac G8 lol
Burnouts are fucking dumb. All it does is wear out your tires, brakes and clutch. Why do people like them?
Be happy you drove in Pittsburgh during non-rush hour traffic. Trying to get anywhere during morning and evening rush hour is a nightmare in all directions.
True. Not to mention the salt that rusts out your body, the potholes that destroy your suspension, and the hills that ruin your brakes and transmission. Other than that, driving in Pittsburgh is great. Lol
Thinking of driving around Pittsburgh as a detour on my next road trip - when is a good time during daylight hours where traffic is light?
During rush hour there is literally no way to get around certain traffic you just have to endure it
Best non-Cadillac GM sedan ever
will be a collector's car one day...
Love from Australia. Fuck gm for leaving aus though.
fuck gm for not making cool cars people want and do can will buy. great engines shit cars.
signl sirchir none of the new cars look good tbh only a select few catch eyes
"Talk to me goose!" love how panic-y he gets when driving sometimes lol

I learned to drive in Pittsburgh. This was nearly my exact daily drive for many years. I view Pittsburgh as training wheels for Europe. It's easily one of the most confusing driving cities in the US which means if you can handle yourself there, every other city is fairly easy. Every interchange is unique, every bridge is it's own animal, and it's one of the few cities with triangular blocks. The problem with Pittsburgh (other than someone designed the road system in a saloon) is PENDOT. I swear it's a job security racket where they fix the roads just well enough so that by the time one end is all patched up they're back on the other end fixing it.
Evan J i practiced driving in Mexico. Only thing I can imagine that’s worse is Asia lol
Anthony Stark I’ve been to Mexico and China. China wins.
I was born & raised in Pgh and also learned to drive there. Mostly in the suburbs, but I'd often go visit my dad at his office dahntahn. I lived at home during college; I'd drive from the "Saath Hills" to Oakland to go to Pitt almost every day, in a 4-speed manual transmission and Volkswagen Fox with no AC and no power steering. I'd sometimes parallel park facing downhill on the cobblestone streets. Then I moved out of state and I got spoiled. I went back to my dad's office a couple years ago on Wood Street, and Mr. Regular's reaction reminded me of how I had felt driving dahntahn. Used to be second nature to me, but that was a long time ago.
I will say though, now that I have a Miata that I store at my parents' house ahtside the city, I have lots of fun doing mini hill climbs in Butler County.
Oh yeah I forgot - I made four trips to Germany last year. Driving through German towns about gave me a nervous breakdown. The Autobahn, I freaked at first, but I got used to it. But the cities like Regensberg, or even Straubing, with the narrow cobblestone streets dating back hundreds of years...
Europe isn't bad to drive in. Maybe some of the oldest, most historical city centers in Germany or France, are difficult to drive around, but everything else is quite nice. In my experience, it's as comfortable to drive in Scandinavia as it is in the United States, for instance.
@@peacefrog0521 hey man, can you tell me what freaked you out on the autobahn?
Was it just the speed of some cars?
Because the laws there are pretty strict and straight forward.
Only overtaking on the left lane and if there are three or more lanes only the far left is for going really fast, except the other lanes are completely empty.
It’s absolutely forbidden to overtake on the right, so there’s not so much to worry about.
Oh and you definitely shouldn’t drive too slow on the left lane’s even when it seems empty, because you never now when someone comes from behind, doing 250kmh.
That’s also the reason, why it’s the law to drive on the farest right lane possible, when everything is free.
You will get a Ticket when you’re constantly driving on the left lane, when there’s no reason to do that (I.e. slower cars or semis on the right lanes).
Next time you are in pittsburgh, i have a manual cts v wagon for ya :)
Email him.
email me..I'm 70 miles north. I'll come drive it :D I'd love to see if my fatass can fit in it.
Ah good ol’ Pittsburgh. I do Public Restroom Reviews here! Yinz’ll enjoy them. Never a dull moment in our area.
The GearShots Why do you do what you do. Asking for a friend.
Livin like Larry
The GearShots you sniff toilet seats ? Must be a shitty job ,Asking for a friend
FYI, best skyline shot while driving is coming through the Fort Pitt Tunnel towards the city, especially at night when everything is lit up.
From the Camaro forums, if you swap out the yaw sensor to one from the automatic trans which does not have the longitudinal-accelerometer that triggers the hill start assist.
I also have experience with Corvettes with the 1 to 4 skip shift... You can get an aftermarket part to disable the skip shift.
Dear Mr Regular and The Roman,
Please make your next trip to South America or Mexico. I'm a Brit living in Lima and I've noticed so many great 'regular' cars here. They're particularly well-preserved in Lima as it almost never rains. Sure, there are the usual Beetles and US classics, but the regularness maxes out with 90s Sentras that are everywhere. Seriously, they've even continued making them in Mexico and it's pretty much the most common car here in Peru.
If you're hankering for some New Zealand level scenery or British level weirdness, try Peru.
Best wishes,
Rich
Something’s definitely wrong with the MagRide system in that SS, you can see that side-to-side wallowy bounce they’re talking about in the video. That’s not normal, my ‘17 SS doesn’t do that and none of the cars I’ve rode in with the MagRide system have done that either.
Yep a great car from down under that you guys in U.S.A. know very little about !!! Just a tip buy one put it on blocks it will become a collectors classic in your life time . YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED by a old guy from South Australia [Adelaide ] the city this vehicle was manufactured .
Best least known car in the last decade. Stupid Chevy, ruining a unicorn.
It's your fault for not buying one.
They should have made it not look like a Malibu and spent like 5 bucks marketing it
I bought a '17 and have an older second car but am paranoid about putting too many miles on SS.
@@Gobbersmack I regret it every day.
It’s so weird watching someone who I follow drive and do a video in my city AWESOME!
Living in Pittsburgh is frustrating because you learn all the tricks and lanes but then get frustrated when out of towners don't know them and swerve between lanes at the last second.
I loved my 2015 Malibu more than any car I’ve owned, I just wished it was faster. Looks like I’ve found my destiny. A 2017 ss.
As a Pittsburgher I love watching this. Hahaha you are right Mr. regular it is a fun town to drive in.
*MAXIMUM LEFT*
I lived in downtown pittsburgh from 86 to 90 and I loved it there. Great memories. I live in New Orleans now, but it's downtown is so flat.
OMG you're such an anxious driver, I can't watch this right now.
IKR? Regs probably freaks out at a cloverleaf on a Kansas interstate -- now watch his head explode in the city that forces you to make a major driving decision once every 1.3 seconds.
He’s also driving someone else’s car remember that. Some people actually care about other people’s possessions. lol
You should try comming out of the fort pitt tunnels. Absolutley amazing view.
The directions situation was like driving my Dad somewhere!
I know some active dampers actually stiffen up over rough stretches of road to avoid that sloshy feeling.
The hill start in my Kia forte only holds for the briefest of moments. It took me a while to actually identify it, I just assumed that it didn't actually have it.
This is where you guys filmed the Dodge Aspen right? That scrape at the beginning was glorious
Love the directions, "stay in that lane."
My 2013 Chevy Sonic RS has the same steering wheel.
Mr R drives 10% of my daily commute... I thought I recognized that bridge (the under-side of the 31st) but I've never been under it except on one of the Gateway Clipper boats.
For what it's worth that 31st street bridge interchange is leaps and bounds better than what it used to be even if it is confusing as all fuck.
My 2015 Mazda 6 has a hill start assist just like this SS does. It only holds you for about 2-3 seconds and then it will start rolling back if you don’t do anything. It’s weird but it’s very helpful once you get used to it.
I really used to want one of these vehicles
I drove though Pittsburgh as a 15 year old. Scared my shitless
Thumbs up from a former 'Burgher!
Ahhh Pittsburgh!!!
I knew a guy who called it picksburg.
He also called a backhoe a backhole.
Odd duck.
It holds it only for a few seconds if you want it to roll back, it makes perfect sense.
Funny you noticed the difference in throttle response that quick but the owner didn't know. The pedal is quicker to respond in Tour, compared to Performance and Track modes.
Hi everyone have a nice day!!!!
you too
Eat da poo poo
Dionisis Nanos shut up you chubby white fuck
Charles Huot are you such a man even when you are not in front of a screen???
yeah i'm still funny in real life don't worry
What is a Pittsburgh left?
When you make a left turn before the light turns green.
Going left on red
When a Pittsburgh guy's dick curves to the left.
Same as the Mass left, same as any left where people actually want to get somewhere.
Not michigan left, you just get to sit there in the median where there's always a cop ready to pull up next to you and remind you how to make a left turn here
The hill start doesn't bother me. I guess because I'm getting on the accelerator as soon as I come off the brake and letting out the clutch at the same time. 2 seconds is more than enough time for me.
I have a 2016 automatic that I daily in Pittsburgh. Yes, even in the snow. And while I love it to address RCR’s comment about the automatics being just as good, they are less fun than the manuals. And btw it’s easy to tell who’s not from Pittsburgh in the comments from anyone criticizing how he’s driving. A few things for outsiders. A Pittsburgh left is a real thing and the roads do suck and buildings do just fall on cars and it is very confusing to drive in Pittsburgh, so he’s not driving like a spaz. He’s driving how Pittsburgh demands a driver to drive.
"rate of speed," it gets me everytime, lol
SS or 392 For a everyday car ? (Which one better in snow?)
*WINGA DINGA WINGA DINGA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD TIME*
Yea driving in Pittsburgh is fun, until you have to do it everyday from 4-7 pm.. lol
My Fiesta ST only holds the hill break for two seconds.
That Z31
Now to get ahold of AutoVlog and do a review of the amg
A "Ptsburg left" sounds oddly familiar; like a Richmond, VA left. :P
Yeah Pittsburgh!
Is it better than the Vagabond?
I drive mine around in Tour 90% of the time and it doesn't bother me at all. Also I have a 2015 which does not have the bi-modal exhaust. I'd spend more time in sport if the exhaust was louder.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that steering wheel identical with a late Saab 9-3?
Should have done a crossover video with Pittsburgh Dad.
I have an ebr 1190 rx for you to review if your ever in AZ/NV
Yayyy I live in Carnegie in Pittsburgh 👍🏻
Now how do I get you to review my 1986 Suzuki Samurai lol
Fun fact: The speed limit on Crosstown Blvd. speed limit is 35 mph.
I really don’t get their gripes about tour mode suspension. I’ve had a 2016 for almost two years and I’ve never considered the softest setting to be floaty, even on horrible roads.
LS3 6MT Slipstream Blue, classic
Maximum Left! I like that!
Damn do I miss Pittsburgh, even the Penndot flavor of potholes.
PA Roads, take me home,
Not on potholes alone.
Pennsylvania DOT
Straight to the guillotine.
I own a 2015 SS. If I lived in Pittsburgh (a town with which I am familiar) I would put John Deere low-pressure Ag tires on it to cope with the alleged potholes (bomb craters).
Great car mate. It's worthy of a better driver.
Proud to rep Pittsburgh
Y U NO skip shift eliminator? I don't mod my cars at all, but even I took care of that.
Does it drive better in Philly?
Wait, since when did you have a Forester?
Ya if you're used to driving here, you just get annoyed at drivers who aren't used to it LOL
Pittsburgh roads are why I traded a Jaguar F-Type V6S for a Jeep Wrangler... at least this convertible can survive the potholes.
You are on the road I take to orchestra practice
Woo hoo he’s finally in Pittsburgh
Wooo! #412
I LOVE DRIVING IN PIXBURGH DURING STILLERS GAMES
The sound that thing makes has me at full mast
Down town Pittsburgh in a fast car is a problem?, you should try it in an old Volvo, with almost no power and almost dead power steering... got stuck on a hill once, too steep to start... and its to long to do a 3 point... the legendary 7 point turn straying on the sidewalk... ...good times
I saw several comments about the driver being a woos, etc. 1. He is driving a somewhat demanding car and respecting that it is NOT his car. 2. Pittsburgh makes people who have driven there all their lives want to commit seppuku: hills to steep to walk, roads that have not been maintained since the Pleistocene Era, bridges, tunnels, constant construction (pretend construction)… The Ho Chi Minh Trail was better than any Pennsylvania road.
Driving a Chevy SS in Pittsburgh is the most self-defeating thing I have ever seen.
I wont watch a foreign car driver compare anything.
Eric Brown Pittsburgh is pretty shitty but you're wrong for hating on the chevy SS, brother 😂
i just realized that u sound a bit like Trevor off gta
what's a Pittsburgh left? (Michigander here)
up next: driving a minivan in phili
"This is unique, because this is a Commodore that's being used as an everyday vehicle"
How is that unique?
Those guys are either a prog metal band or DnD nerds
What's a Pittsburgh left ?
Good ol' CAGS lol!
As a Chicagoan; what is a Pittsburgh left?
No shoe tap! What is this disgraceful behaviour!#/+?
What the hell is a Pittsburgh left?
R.I.P. Sweet prince
Super chevy sonic
MasutaSaru not to be confused with a supersonic Chevy
“Stock Bf tires were amazing” “tour mode is trash” I will strongly disagree
V6 Accord is the ultimate Pittsburgh car. Also as they ages with salt and snow it's ok cause they're cheaper.
Yinz go dahn'a Warshingtons Landin?
Yasssss
nice opel astra.
Why in city, why?
The 4L60 and 6L60 are automatic transmissions, so I'd say that's a no.
Virtually all of these cars on auto trader are the autos. The 6MT's cars aren't easy to come by.
Pittsburgh "hot BROWN"
You didn't even rev when you went through that building tunnel. Not even a real car guy.
