#VINwiki #CarTrek #TopGear - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Car Trek has been the one of the best automotive series in CZcams history.
I agree. I even got my GF watching them with me.
Only applicable if you are American. Doesn't hit the same otherwise... at all
Car Trek and mighty car mods, possibly gears and gasoline and their road trips too.
The best. What CZcams series is better? Vinkwiki? Pshhhhhh.
Absolutely and most definitely not.. I like the vinwiki stories but car trek is nothing like the top gear they're trying to imitate
Best one-liner is at 23:15 - "No one can shoot themselves in the foot and yell "I've been shot!" like you can, Freddy" - Ed. 😆😆😆
I'm still rofl....
Yeah and I get the feeling it's not entirely endearing. I have a buddy who met Freddy at a car rally and he didn't have particularly nice things to say. I'll leave it at that.
I have watched all 10 Car Treks and wondered how close these guys really are. This shows they are truly friends not just 3 guys who share a hobby and general job description.
We would like to thank AutoTempest, The Ticket Clinic, our crew from Bright Bay Creative & Side B Productions, and most of all each of you for watching these ridiculous adventures over the past few years. It has been a blast.
I need a group of nearly normal slightly f'ed up friends like yous in my life! 😂
I would love a sport truck cartrek as I have a 93 454SS, 2004 SVT lightning, and my dad has the 2005 SRT-10 in which we have swapped the T-56 because the 48RE left the chat.
After watching all of this and remembering all the different episodes I'm in awe... and in shock and panic. Will there be more CarTrek on the way, or has this series in its core been wrapped up? I'm a simple man - I don't like too many changes.
To all the sponsors a special Thank You. Freddy, Tyler, and Ed these have been an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks CarTrek.
So when do we get more great adventures of the 3gearmusketeers 😂😂😂but for real I need a new car trex in my miserable life please
Cartrek request: Bring crossovers to the mountain towns they are named after and see how they hold up to some off-roading around their namesakes. Which CUV is best suited for where it is named after?
Drive a Denali, up Denali.
Drive a Land Cruiser, on the..... land?!
Telluride, Santa Fe, Palisade, Tahoe, Sedona, Aspen, and I'm sure there's more.
Gotta find a Chrysler aspen and take it to aspen colorado.
My guy seriously just called a Land Cruiser a crossover 💀💀💀
Ed's face while Tyler and Freddy argue about that Ferrari is priceless! Just smiling and enjoying the beef.
I was going to comment on that.
The genuine excitement of these guys is what makes me keep coming back.
They ACTUALLY have a small argument.
:)
The guys need to have more of this legit annoyance with each other in future Car Treks. This is the only thing missing from the Clarkson, Hammond May dynamic. Please don't hide the frustration lads, it's comedy gold
Yeah Ed seems like someone I could definitely have a beer with. Posting from my other comment about Freddy. "I have a buddy who met Freddy at a car rally and he didn't have particularly nice things to say. I'll leave it at that."
I don't think the first couple of CT's felt scripted, I thought they felt like they were trying too hard to have chemistry that had to come over time. Which it did.
Look back at anything anyone has done in the beginning their learning to do something and the performance is shocking. Videos of early public speaking I have done make me cringe.
I find myself watching Car Trek more consistently than I've ever watched something like Top Gear or The Grand Tour. They're all great, but I think the relatability of you three is what draws us as an audience.
I hope the rumor I heard about Car Trek being over due to decreased viewership isn't true, I cant say emphatically enough how much I've enjoyed the adventures and chemistry you all bring to the table, hell I would settle for cheap car challenges or lower production cost iterations in a heartbeat and I know I'm not in the minority on that.
I did a quick look at every Car Trek Season's view count and the most recent Car Trek (and basically every single other season) has an incredibly high view count that stays consistent with every season. Between 1 and 2 million views per episode with a very small handful of episodes doing just under 1 million (800k-999k views). As far as I can see there is absolutely zero evidence that declining viewership is a factor in a decision to end Car Trek.
@@robwaters8848 again, just a rumor, know a guy that works for a cast/crew member in Car Trek deal. I sincerely hope that's not the case.
Probably not decreased viewership, but rather the recent downturn in profitability for the car market as a whole. Particularly if CarTrek was primarily funded by AT.
Intel did the same thing after AMD beat them in price/performance in high-end & mid-range, so Intel could only compete via budget hardware or sales. So they preemptively slashed their marketing budget, and tons of projects funded by Intel sponsor money (like LTT's XTU series) suddenly had no money to continue
Where does you hear this rumor
Probably more that 2 of the guys are going thru some stuff in their personal lives
CarTrek greatest show ever made. It was about cars, challenges, dangers, fun, and the friends you made along the way. 😊
You guys are absolutely great. Thank you so much for the entertainment!
It’s incredibly good to see Tavarish holding in there. Y’all became the American Top Gear we always wanted and I wish all of y’all many more happy, sad and thrilling car journeys ahead!
Gotta tell you, I love the way you unabashedly describe yourselves as cheap Top Gear. LOL.
Car Trek certainly comes closer to the original TG than any of the actual TG spinoffs that they tried to make in the years since Clarkson got the sack.
Truly enjoy it. Hopefully you don't stop making the show!
Clarkson wasn't sacked. His contract wasn't renewed.
Clarkson is naturally a really charismatic man who doesn't exude used car salesman energies
You guys are what American TG should have been all along plus you guys also have your own separate channels/things going which makes it even better bc you can follow you guys individually as well as together as friends on a crazy journey. Please don't ever stop I feel like you guys are picking up the torch after the end of old school top gear
PLEASE do top gear America vs car trek. That is an awesome idea Hoovie
For the next challenge you guys should do JDM, but really really cheap JDM. Like "for the price of a Chevy Spark" JDM.
My wish list for future Car Trek series :
- Bring cheap small cars to Quebec (so-called Quebec specials, manuals with zero options) during winter (real winter : between mid January and late February). Go to the Mecaglisse circuit, to Tremblant, horse around in old Montreal (the closest you'll get to real european streets in North America) and drive up to Charlevoix! Winter tires are a must!
- Identify your favorite OG Top Gear challenge and try to meme it as much as you can. Locations, cars, everything. Have a Stig as a guest star even, call up Ben Collins or something!
- Find a dead mall to do challenges in with your least desirable cars!
- How about a stacked car race? That's a TG classic! Do that with Panthers or something!
Thank you guys for being so genuine and awesome! Car Trek is very cool and was a great idea!❤
It’s clear that in the videos that you guys just enjoy being around each other and like what you do. As long as you gents enjoy it we will watch.
Right from the start, the first Trek was fantastic. You guys are just so much fun to watch.
Would love to see you guys come up through Canada. We’ve got some nice roads to try out, tracks too!
The guys need to have more of this legit annoyance with each other in future Car Treks. This is the only thing missing from the Clarkson, Hammond, May dynamic. Please don't hide the frustration lads, it's comedy gold
What should the challenge for Car Trek 11 be?
CarTreak abroad?
A South America trip would be awesome!
Cheap classic muscle cars or make it classic cars like muscle cars vs British car of the same era and some cool challenges comparing them
Car Trek 24 hours of Lemons
The Finns have a rally rule in most of the local circuits. There will be a maximum price point for the cars. It can be as low as €500. At the end of the race, anyone can walk up with that amount of money and buy the car from the driver. And the driver must sell it to that buyer. It leads to some absolute clunkers being sold as rally cars.
What if you did something similar? Find a muscle car for under a certain amount and then put the cars on auto tempest at that specified price point?
To make the show unscripted and lose the cheese.
Hearing that you guys were near a shooting in St. Louis is probably the funniest thing to learn from this video. It's a sign that of all the details and things that must come together for this show that no one on set has enough natural survival instinct to look at a area and say "We are not safe here.".
Now that the Grand Tour is so sporadic in releases. Car Trek has been my go to for entertaining automotive content.
From just a fun one time fantasy of making a show like top gear,to making 10 seasons of the car trek is just so amazing.
It was so much fun and i wish you guys make 50 more.
I've really enjoyed Car Trek so far, and as Ed said, I'd love to see all three of y'all in the same car for another.
Instead of multiple events, though, what if you did 1 big one event on a tiny budget?
I'm thinking all 3 get together in Atlanta, not knowing what's going on. Ficara shows up and hands y'all like $5-6k and says "I have something I need you to pick up in New York and take to Los Angeles. This is all the money you have to buy a car, prep it, and buy fuel. You cannot call in professional mechanics, you are on your own. You have 4 days." Ficara disappears into the sunset.
Cut to two days later with all three of them crammed into a Geo Metro doing 90 on the interstate.
Ed, "I still cannot believe I got suckered into an impromptu Cannonball with the two most unprepared co-drivers in history."
Tyler, "I do. With Rock, Paper, Scissors; Tyler always WIINS!"
Freddie (sharing the back seat with a dozen gas cans), "I told you we should have gotten the Fiero."
15:30 dude that voiceover transition was flawless, and Ed's ability to mimic his own cadence and "rolling thoughts" voice is so great lmfao.
Cartrek was my absolute favorite thing I think I've watched on CZcams in years I truly enjoyed it I hope you guys continue it because it's amazing your chemistry is awesome
Your sponsorship probably wouldn't allow it, but something overseas would be great, like a UK special, buying cars you couldn't get in the US (Top Gear filming location pilgrimages optional)
I'd love to see car trek do some lemons run in cars under $1k! That's what I believe made top gear unique, finding some unknown reliability in the rough. Whatever you guys do next will be worth the wait, appreciate the work you all put in, including Jared and Car Wizard!
Always the best Top Gear episodes. I remember the US version with a turbo Thunderbird that kept overheating, giant Cadillac and I can't recall what Tanner had but that was a fun episode. The used trucks off roading too. Adam's Ford was such a pile. The old/cheap car challenges were the best! Although I do enjoy the beater exotic stuff from Car Trek which is pretty unique. You typically don't think of Ferraris and Lamborghinis being high mileage unreliable POS cars. These guys make them seem relatable to normal cars.
There really is nothing much better than hearing these guys (whom I really admire) just go off the cuff and be themselves like three guys in a motel room. It just makes me feel like I know them even more now as persons. Thanks CarTrek team !
Left to right, Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, James May
Ed is just like jeremy bend the rules to win haha for 3 usa guys they have done 1000% better then usa top gear
Thanks Guys for getting together for this chat, please definitely do more Cartrek, Rj in Oz
It's been fun to follow how Car Trek has evolved and looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with next :D kinda weird how my own journey down the rabbit hole of automotive youtubery started when Freddie left jalopnik and I started following him, then I started watching Ed's videos because I had been playing around with the Vinwiki app, and then I discovered Tyler when he was guest on Freddie's channel. Love all three of you for different reasons; Freddie, you're an automotive mad scientist, annoying at times but I am always amazed at all your crazy projects. Ed, your passion for car stories is unparalleled. And Tyler, you have the most infectious passion for "hoopties" on the planet and a nicely refined taste in cars that is very close to my own ;)
My idea for CarTrek is sports wagon challenge. Get cheap fast wagon like CTS-V Sportswagon, C63 AMG Wagon, E61 M5 Wagon and etc.
I love car trek thankyou for the joy these have brought us can’t wait for the next one to come out glad to see y’all all together
22:48 Freddy is a natural storyteller, he instinctively screws up to create a great story LMAO
a camper special or land yachts would be cool to see
Poor Ed looking like Dad as the kids bicker over spilled milk. This is just a treat ❤ always looking to the future for more content like this. Best of wishes to VinWiki, Ed, Tavarish, Hoovie and everyone involved.
I love all three of you and how you interact with each other over these silly/fun challenges. I look forward to every season, including the one you haven't yet set up. Keep the enjoyable content coming, gentlemen!!
Tyler and Freddie arguing with Ed watching is exactly like CHM doing the same lol
Tyler is reading the hell out of Freddie 😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love this video and love the CarTrek series 🎉
While I’m sincerely enjoying this video, I’m slightly distracted by all of the dirt and debris on the floor where the hotel bed once sat. 😂😂😂
Keep up the good work fellas, much love and thank you for the continued entertainment.
One idea that I think y'all should explore....each one of you guys gets a manual American car for less than $10k, then you do a series of challenges while driving around. Maybe even take them to the Bonneville Salt Flats and see who's the fastest on the course?
This is gunna be fun.
Loved this. Definitely going to have to become a regular thing 👍
Thanks for putting all the time & effort into entertaining us for hours!
Thanks for the content across all your channels and for Car Trek
I just enjoy when you 3 are together.....that's what makes cartrek so good it ain't about the cars ..... it's the chemistry and antics of you 3 ..... can't wait for the next one.
Please do a Eurotrip one, where for instance you pick of the car and drive it to the harbor of any European port to “import” it to the USA (or buy and sell) and road-trip your 25 year old eligible car that was never available in the US (so quirky Citroens, or the Ferrari powered Lancia, performance wagons etc). I’d be more than happy to help you out in Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Heck you could even drive the Nurburgring. 😂
Thank you SOOOOOO much for this behind the scene guys......sincerely!
Mini Van's or Station Wagons from the 1990s would be an awesome idea for a "Car Trek" Series!
Ideas for future runs/locations: Cannonball tribute run (doesnt have to be clocked unless you’re racing each other), PCH run, fl keys, something in Northeast maybe Mt Washington and Kancamagus highway in NH
Car ideas: cheap mid/rear engine cars, kit cars, classic cars, alternative fuel cars, straight 6 engines, Bond cars, the end of the comfy couch/luxury/cadillac/buick/lincoln cars,
If you guys could get the American top gear guys to come on for an episode that would be insane. I still go back and laugh at those old top gear episodes all of the time.
Keep up the good work guys all three of you thank you for coming together to do Cartrek
Loving all of it guys 👌👍😁 Have you tried to talk to anyone at "Drive Tribe" to maybe get a crossover mock "Grand Tour" / "Car Treck"?
Great episode gentlemen, love what you do and please carry on making them
i love this. i wouldnt mind something like this after every car trek. just chill and talk and be real and honest about all the crazy stuff that happened
So so much fun . Car Trek is enjoyable but this behind the scenes video is GREAT !
Tell Tavarish we miss him and are wishing him the very best.
What I've noticed is a now a cannon for most seasons is that Ed will "tweak" the rules, Freddy puts his car together the night before they start filming and Hoovie will always have ancient tires that fall apart or tires not suited for the challenges
Rust Belt tour, using Ed's idea of rotating cars. Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit. See if The Henry Ford would be an interested partner. A segment touring their vintage cars collection would be sweet. Freddie, I believe you did a Roadkill Night's at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, talk to them, boom you might have a track.
A Rt. 66 road trip like a poker run.. Looking forward to when it comes back
whatever you do I"m sure it will be fantastic. Love what you're doing with Car trek, it's everything I liked about the old Top Gear and more, Even made me an Auto Tempest guy now so thanks for that and keep it up!
It was a pleasure meeting you at Amelia Ed! I met Tyler too, but I was extremely awkward, but Tyler is awkward too, so I think he knows how I felt! I love everything the 3 of you do!
For another Car Trek series how about 3 sport trucks and you guys wind up at Mount Rushmore while Sturgis motorcycle fest is going on. You could get bikers to participate or dress Jared up like a biker for some humorous bits. You could also do something similar ending at the Grand Canyon.
Speaking of "risks of jail time" your future Car Trek should be where you road trip in the same vehicle. Stop at a randomly picked town, go through CL or FB marketplace, buy the shadiest vans, and go live down by a river for 3 days. I wouldn't suggest doing street interviews asking people who would get into who's van.
You could do a challenge where the person who gets the best car off of copart for a set price limits that completes some sort of challenges wins, buying some daily traffic cars (civic, carola etc) and seeing who can make them the fastest with a set price limit
Love the commentary and the Car Trek series as a whole.
Yes absolutely CAR TREK VS TOP GEAR ⚙️
And we're here for it!!!
Car Trek vs. Top Gear sounds like a great idea. I hope that you & your sponsors can make that happen. Great video, Trekkies!
Love the characters and the series. Can’t wait for more CarTrek seasons!!
I love watching car trek. Has filled the void in my heart that top gear left.
Please dont ever stop making car trek videos and keep it on youtube keep all the control and reep all the reward
I don't think you guys together could make something we wouldn't want to watch 👍 thank you guys 👊
We need the Car Trex and Top Gear dual reunion thing!
Love the show! I think you guys have really captured lightning here. Ed can we get another Musket Ball?
but that fact you do so many a year is awesome.... I thought when one came out we might get a two in a year or so later.... but nope... mere MONTHS later it was there.... I LOVE CAR TREK!!!! Amazing tribute to the old Top Gear growing up hearing Clarkson yell at Hammond and then Top Gear... thank you guys for doing this!!! Amazing to see my fav youtubers come together!
If you go to Detroit, go to Flowers of Vietnam it's one of the restaurants in Detroit. Rouge Park is empty Sunday morning but there are a lot of post holes and there is a police station over there. Woodward St. between Detroit and Ferndale is a wide street that is empty at night. 8 mile is also empty at night. Hamilton street in Highland Park between 6 Mile and Florence is completely empty but it is the hood. Green Field and Michigan is pretty empty at night but there is a police station near there.
Going for Ed's concept: "we bought each other's 'dream' cars" Tyler, slow american luxury. Ed flashy Italian hypercar "suspiciously" cheap. Freddy the most overcomplicated German car. Each buys the others, but "make it random" with very obvious keys in a bowl. Tyler (who can pull off "ohhh just what I wanted!") Picks the wrong one to swap you all, maybe everyone tried to "match his key" as a "joke".
Hearing you defend each "others" cars while trying to wheeen is pure top gear vibes. Price can be lower than Freddie's pool water since it's "each other's".
I think a family road trip car challange would be great. A 90's Roadmaster wagon vs a wagoneer vs a Minivan. Lets face it, most of us have suffered through some kind of experience in at least one of them.
Cartrek vs Top Gear America would be AWESOME
I saw you guys back in august driving through Sacremento! I had a uhaul with my W124 Wagon on the trailer and you slowed down and gave a thumbs up
I don't think you guys know how much I love hoovies idea. Please for the love of God try and get that to happen. Would complete my childhood
This is like watching the American version of Clarkson, Hammond and May talking about the grand tour. Amazing series and amazing people.
What about a sports truck trailer comp where you all drive sports trucks going through from New England to Alaska through Canada. Each of you trailer something separate, one has a kitchen another has bunk beds and the 3rd could have your essentials. That means you all have to work together driving through Canada and in your sports trucks and maybe American top gear shows up along the way
Cartrek Idea: Malaise Era Cars. The trio go off and find some Malaise Era American Cars (1973-1983 )and put them through a series of challenges. Whoever wins the most challenges wins, and has the best/least worst car.
Not really much, but it's an idea.
Yes!!!! Come to Canada please, it’ll be a great time! Either Vancouver or Toronto/Montreal, and hit us up!
One thing I’ve always loved with Top Gear is the episodes where they built a vehicle for a specific purpose like the home made limos, police cars, ambulances, motor homes and things like that.
I’d love to see you guys do something like that as well.
More off road content, the unpredictability of off roading is unmatched.
I love CarTrek. I often debate whether I watch it as it comes out or just binge it when it's done. What I'd like to see though is a car comedian roast/compliment the cars. I throw my ticket in the ring for theBlackCarGuru
I hope you do more Car Trek. I really enjoy it.
Do a roadtrip in small city cars, like rediculously small
Dalton Highway challenge in "rebodied" cars... Think Zimmer, Excalibur, Mosler, Bricklin, etc.
I enjoy seeing Freddie's V12 Vantage from CT1 locally here near Seattle
Let me take a moment to congratulate you guys on a job well done on Car Trek, yes it could've went down a different road, but I think it's one of the most entertaining car shows of all time.... far as ideas of future car treks, and all three of you having your turns doing questionable things with questionable cars, how about doing a "hill climb" series, where you go around to different hill climb events?
You guys finally going to do a cheap top gear that's cool. You guys should do more of it. All the show was good to me.
Love the realness happening here!
Idk how you would make it happen but a car trek roadkill collab would probably be the best thing to ever happen
Canadian visits! 🇨🇦 snow driving with traditional cheap winter-beaters
Sport trucks is good too.
