    In the age of ever-more-rapidly approaching electrification and automation, it's important to have a vehicular reset. The Audrain Veteran Car Tour is an opportunity to take over the streets of Newport, Rhode Island in 120-year old cars, to really feel what driving was like before standardization, before the idea of a car was really solidified, and before bodywork. Matt and Zack pilot a 1902 Yale 16HP Rear-Entrance Tonneau on a fifty mile drive and hope to get there in one piece.
    The Audrain Museum provided airfaire, lodging, and the vehicle for this video.

    This is definitely one of those anti CZcams videos where it wont get recommended but is the highest quality content around. This is looks like so much fun and I am super interested in attempting to do it one day and i will watch all content you create on this subject. The podcasts about these events are great for anyone who hasnt watched those yet.

    I feel like Matt just discovered historic rally racing.
    Living in northern Italy next to the Dolomites we have many events and I’ve participated in some with my uncle.
    There are guys here running 1929 Bugatti’s Type 35 in the middle of winter with studded tires and -15C up the mountains with a support van behind with literally a small lathe in case something brakes.

    I needed this to soothe my mind after learning all the details about the new M5. Even in the first few minutes of the video, watching Matt and Zack pull off was such a little glimpse into what driving must have been like back then. No windows, no turn signals, you basically just had to yell/wave/tell other drivers you were there. Amazing and what a weirdly social way to drive.

    This reminds me of the time my fiance and I rented a Fiat 500 from the 60's in Florence and I had just learned how to drive stick, and the car kept stalling every time I put it in neutral. Overall it went well but she was so terrified when we were in italian traffic. Driving super old cars is such a fun experience.

    The smiles per mile here are so abundant, it’s not even fair to compare to anything built in the last 100 years. And in all honesty, if I really wanted to flex and get noticed, this is how I’d pull up. Because nothing says “I have F you money” like showing up late, backing up miles of traffic, keeping multiple hired mechanics on hand, and still having a cheery grin on your face. Loved it!

    I never really gave much thought to pre-war cars, aside from "if not for those old cars, the cars we love wouldn't be here". That changed a few months ago. I was able to drive an unrestored 1921 Studebaker, a 1927 Chrysler, and a 1926 Model T. Not as wild as the cars shown here, but I am so glad to have the experience of driving them.

    Hands down one of my new favourite videos you guys have done over the years and, yes you're right, driving a slow car fast IS more fun. I grew up learning car control with VW Beetles, Ladas, and Datsun 100A's, and I miss those times; they weren't even close to being the fastest but I learnt a lot hooning those around the dirt roads in Finland and Ireland. Closest thing I've got to the experience in a modern-ish "sporty" car in recent years was my base model Lotus Elise S2 which I should never ever have sold... Anywho, keep up the great work!
