    I love the direction this channel has taken, I was a little disappointed knowing it wouldn't be ethan being forced to do car content for our entertainment but at the same time seeing Jack and Ethan both looking so much more entertained, and knowing that there could and most likely will be crossovers in the autoalex universe makes me so happy. Plus it really seems as if Jack and Ethan have cornered a really niche market here and really cultivated their own audience.

    Fan from Japan here. Was astonished to see the ordeal unfold. As someone who lived in Tokyo for 5 years, even I can't picture myself doing this on my own. I also appreciate the highlights on spots on the way. The following people idea was kind of clever, as that is a good tactic to find the big streets. Sounds like you guys may have stumbled on some candidate making a roadside speech at the end. We recently had a gubernatorial election, so that may have been it.
    Anyways, definitely will look forward to the road trip video ! Best of luck to you all !

    This is such an amazing concept. I LOVE doing this in a completely new and foreign city/country. Theres something so serene about walking around “regular places”, down regular streets, regular intersections, regular corner stores. It may be so boring to a local but to a foreigner, those regular places are the ones you remember the most as if imagining how your life would be if this regular foreign place across the globe is where you wouldve lived.

    So this has got me thinking about that pick up truck tog gear episode in Canada. You two dropped off in the sticks somewhere and you have 24 hrs to find the nearest town but as soon as the clock strikes 24 hrs you have to stay put, make camp and wait to be rescued by Alex and the TDC boys. The person closest to the nearest town gets to pick which rescue team they want to retrieve them and the first team back to the town wins 😊

    Love these travel videos, Loving the guys in the background waving at the camera. Hope they see this video ❤🤣I think it is a good idea to get lost in a city, you get to experience parts of the city you may not seen. Loving the content and videos ♥

    I bet it was an amazing sleep after that day. It’s an awesome city and cool to see you experience it!

    You should do the old classic race, Ethan on public transport and Jack on a car race to cross the city/county/country
