- Hey what's going on guys it's Andrew
and I have Mister Alex with me today.
- I don't even know why I'm here.
- He doesn't know what's going on
and we know everybody loves reaction videos right,
so we're trying to be creative so
I was digging around in my garage the other night-
- This is gonna be weird.
- And I found a little something something
in this storage bin so
it's not my old beanie baby collection,
that's in a different box.
- There's a lot of things that it could be.
- So what we're gonna do is we're gonna unbox
a little something something, I wanna show it to you guys
and Imma take Alex into an adventure
into the old school car scene
so I need you to get in the mindset
so picture music at the time 2002, 2003, 2004.
- Would that be like Limp Bizkit?
- 50 Cent, or Ja rule.
- Ja rule?
- Finding Nemo I think came out around that year,
so this is the time, so, what's in the box?
What do ya think's in the box?
- What's in the box?!
Alright I don't know, I'm assuming old magazines,
I'm probably gonna assume some good old Polaroids,
some good old photos, some pictures
- Damn, this guys good. - Cuz they didn't have
the book of faces back in the day,
they didn't have Myspace back then but.
- I pitched this idea to him a while back
I shouldn't have told him, so.
- Oh jeez.
- What I have is my high school magazine collection,
Imma show you here, so, at the time,
before all the online stuff was hot,
Super Street, import Tuner, Sport Compact Car,
the three most popular magazines out at the time,
so basically I would sit in math class
and I would you know do the open your text book.
- (Alex) Oh my gosh.
- (Andrew) Put the magazine in there.
- Oh my lord.
Wow, first thing that you could possibly want
in an early 2000's, good old R34 GTR ad
on some Volk te 37s
on some BF Goodrich tires, that's awesome.
- So times have changed and let me tell ya,
so I remember when this was hot,
so Bazooka came out with this subwoofer that was
shaped like a nos bottle,
it literally looks like a straight up nos bottle,
except with a subwoofer in it.
- That's awesome, the crazy thing is like, look
there's like the front bumpers and all that stuff,
some good old fashions.
- For you old school Honda guys it was buddy club,
street fighter one, street fighter two,
the blitz front bumper,
all of those old school bumpers, all that stuff is in here.
Here's another good one, Andy's Auto Sport,
all these super old ricey - This is all so bad.
- Body kits, all this stuff was hot.
- All so terrible.
- It was hot.
- Was it hot?
Was this actually cool back in the day?
- (Andrew) Yep.
- (Alex) Accessorize.
- Look at this.
- Accessorize.
- APC, American Products Company, was super hot,
they were doing all the altezza lights, the body kits,
all the aero, if you flip through here,
I know you're gonna see a bunch of ads for altezza lights
cuz everybody had altezza lights.
- Hey look that's my RX7 right there, look at that,
how bout that, rotary rotation.
See some of this stuff aint half bad,
which, I don't know if that makes me a terrible you know,
car guy or that's just how the scene is going
but hey, Lexani was crushing it back in the game,
look at those things, they're like little diamonds,
these are terrible.
- (Andrew) Yeah the Lexani crystals.
- (Alex) That is disgusting.
- I got a 2002 street glow brochure.
- This is getting really fun, rolling arrow, Toyota Celica,
boom, let's go to the next one.
Super street, hot bodies, Toyota Spider Turbo,
the car that just never really took off.
That poor guy.
And there's scandalous women on every single one of these.
- That's the best part about the old magazines.
- Oh I bet it was, I'm surprised
none of these pages are sticky yet.
Carbon fiber hoods starting at $395.
- I remember thinking that was like a lot.
Look at the photos of all those front bumpers.
- That's disgusting.
- All fiber glass, super crazy, fast and the furious,
street glow ads were super hot, Ichiban,
I remember that was a hot company
if you guys remember that.
More APC goodness.
- Hey SSR was still making wheels though, look at that!
- Yup.
- Look at that real wheel game.
This, I was surprised because all of these have hot,
scandalous women and none of the pictures are sticky,
I mean, it is what it is.
In my spare time, oh my gosh.
- If you guys remember this, JC Whitney,
they were a super hot, remember JC Whitney?
- Yeah.
- I would just go through this, look.
- They still have the website, I know that.
- All the foam filters, DVD screens, all these like,
super like rainbow racing suits.
- These wheels are disgusting, everything about these wheels
are terrible to look at.
Um let's see, this I'm pretty sure, isn't a car magazine.
- That's a muscle magazine.
- We're just gonna put that out, Daddy Yankee, out there,
making moves, Twista out here, also making the moves.
- This is the era, this is the era.
Motegi, got an old school Motegi ad.
- Mercedes Benz C63 is it the M3 Killer?
- Everything is 100% making a come back
so it's funny when I talk to like the young kids,
like oh this is in now like glow lights, big wings,
- Have been in.
- Body kits, like everything it was in,
it went out, it's coming back in.
- That's what's crazy because these cars here
on this issue, let's see when was this issued out.
September of 2001, okay so this was in September of 2001
with a riveted wide body kit, upgraded brakes,
and a wing, and these are all things besides the vinyl,
that you see on a lot of cars right now,
besides like the side stickers which was super popular
back in the day, and this is 2001,
so this is 18 years old.
- Integra, CRXs, the Celicas were out, S14s,
almost anything Civic, Honda was so hot back then.
- Back in the day that was the thing,
oh Datsun, hello.
- I feel like the V dub stuff then,
I wasn't like as into it, I was like a huge Honda guy,
and then here's this is what really
makes the collection complete, is I have Hot wheels.
- (Alex) Do you have pictures, oh you have pictures
of your own stuff?
- I have pictures from a car show in an old,
it wasn't Hot import nights,
I was called Tuner bash, at the McCormick center
in Chicago, all super ricey cars,
like this is like probably 2004,
2003, somewhere in that era.
- Wow.
- My Wings west kitted, Civic.
- Can we go through your awkward photos,
Mario do you wanna grab that camera
so that you can get like a close up of the pictures
that we're about to pull out
because I think it's gonna be awesome.
- The pictures are the best part.
- So moral of the story is, is that
there's a lot of stuff making a come back
and I think it's gonna be just about as cringey
as us going through it right now.
This actually doesn't look half bad,
this was March of 2004,
Nissan 350z.
- 2004 Super Street calendar.
- Can you handle it?
- WRX, look at this, Celica, the old school Celica,
what do we got a Supra.
- Oh my god there's a sun fire with a,
you cut something out here, you cut something out,
- Integra.
you wanted something, it was here.
- I probably have a, I have a bulletin board of all my car
- It was here, you wanted it.
- Yep.
This Integra, the Mcguire Integra,
that thing was hot at the time.
APR GT2, spoiler, terrible ugly body kit,
I don't even know the wheels.
- Yeah the body kits left.
The body kits left but the arrow has stayed, I think,
like even like when you look at this.
- The funny thing though is, look at the wheel gap,
like wheel gap sitting super low,
it wasn't a thing, it was just like,
you had the wheels, you had the tires,
maybe you had some sport springs,
but it wasn't like slamming on the ground
and it wasn't bag everything like at all.
It was more like hydraulics.
- These are terrible.
- I know I had some crazy ridiculous posters on the wall,
like this one, this one was on my wall in my bedroom,
100% early 2000, that's 2000.
- It has everything you want, carbon creations
- Velox wheels, I think I've heard of those, yeah,
Velox wheels, look he's got the bride seats in there.
- Here all the old school- - Andrew is this you?
- Body kits, that is me.
That's me and an import model.
- Look at that guy, look at that man,
just hanging out with the model.
- (Andrew) Yep, just cruise right up for photos.
- How did you, is that before bulk season,
before Andrew man became-
- I was a little thinner at the time so
here if you wanna see my old Civic,
so there's the Motegi wheels, 17 by sevens,
I don't even know the offset, probably 45,
they're super flat, 205 40 17s,
there's the front bumper I had.
- Oh no.
- Crazy headlights, the graphics.
- Is this it too?
- That's it, yeah that's a better photo of it.
- So this is the front quarter-
- (Andrew) That's the first car that was-
- In license plate, mesh bumper
- (Andrew) Yep.
- (Alex) Everything that you could possibly want.
So I wonder if you put this on air,
you put this on the ground,
and then you painted the grill black,
like that mesh,
I bet it really wouldn't stick out that much.
Like you go from the white to the black,
and you lower it, and you're probably halfway
where a lot of other kids would wanna be right now.
- There's only one other guy in town
that had white wheels and I remember Motegi's were hot,
like I got em at like Fire stone,
like a look alike tire place,
and I did like custom order em.
- Motegi used to be super popular.
- Aluminum wings, they got donks out here,
old school caprese.
- Remember kicker, how big kicker was
in the automotive scene.
- Kicker comps.
- Kicker comps, heck yeah.
- Spinners, you guys spinners, they were hot,
like P diddy, like 50 cent were rockin em,
old school Supra, this guys got glow kit on it.
These are actual photos too,
they used to actually print photos,
for those of you young children.
- These are real cars by the way.
- Yep real cars, real photos.
- Here's a good one, Black Widow,
painted on the hood, very very cool.
- Yep airbrushed.
- Not too bad, that air brush action, some air brush action.
- Really gangster Mustang.
- This was back in the day when you'd like opened up
every door, every option, anything that you could open,
you open at car shows, doors, trunks, hoods.
- If you could customize anything, yeah, this was like
wrap your headliner in like felt or crushed velvet.
- Is this yours?
- That's the first car I ever owned.
- So we did a this or that and we talked about our first car
and this is Andrew's first car that he had,
which was a Honda Civic?
- (Andrew) Accord.
- (Alex) Accord, I'm sorry.
- (Andrew) Two door, 1988, flip up headlights.
- (Alex) with those little turbo-
- (Andrew) Okay I'm gonna show you this,
this is my, this is the, when I first started
doing the interior of the Civic.
- Jasper it's like your focusing style!
- This was like when you took all the vents out
and then like your center consol
and you just sprayed it like the color your car,
that was like the hottest thing to do.
It was super obnoxious.
The floor mats were like some awesome sport mat from Autozone.
- Black widow must've been a car club
cuz everybody's got em on these cars.
- Yep, that was a car club outta Green Bay.
Look at this carbon fiber hood,
projector headlights, Mercury cougar,
full body kit, like molded crazy wild.
So look at this, look at this one,
so this is the model car.
- Oh that's crazy, look at that.
- This car, I thought it was the coolest thing,
they made a Hot Wheels of this dude's car
and I saw it at the Old School Tuner Bash in Chicago
in like, 2000, there's no dates, 2003, 2004.
- Wow, that was-
- We could go on for days and days.
- I couldn't tell if this was painful or if this is awesome.
- This is awesome, I'm a og in the game,
I went through, this is the fast and the furious era,
rice everything out, neon everything, paint everything-
- But like back in the day this was what you did.
- This was it.
- This was the scene back then.
- It wasn't clean mods, it was like how many mods can you do
and I remember the other mod, it was super hot,
it was a flip flop trunk kit,
which was literally just metal strap hinges,
they sold em lie $100 kit,
and your trunk, instead of just like, you know,
your trunk flipping up like this,
it would like flip back and it would tilt up,
and you, it was like super, it was awesome,
I wanted to do it.
- This is terrible to look at.
- That was actually a really dope Civic.
- Was it though?
- Yeah look at the under glow.
- Is it though?
- Look at this, the blue wheels,
people were doing the powder coated
crazy wheels back then like that's nothing new,
got the ghost flames.
- That is just.
- TenzoR seats.
Everybody did the molded subwoofers, fiber glass,
like crazy paint, like 10 subwoofers, like crazy angles, yep
these were the good old days man.
- (Alex) The good old days before Facebook, Instagram,
that's actually not that bad.
- (Andrew) I still love the scene
but like it has changed 100%.
- That's not that bad actually, look at that.
- Aluminum wings, color shift glow gauges,
this is all like '01, '03, '04.
- I'm just really hoping to find another picture of A man.
Found another one, look at that man.
- I hit all the models, I made the rounds.
- Look at that man.
- And then I totally forgot about this company,
where is it, Xenon, the Xenon body kits,
so that was like, it was Xenon and it was Wings West,
those were like the two hot kits.
- So I have a good, I have a good reflection point.
So there is a car show, and Jasper will help me
out with this, there is a car show that is at
the same exact location, what's it called, WekFest?
- (Jasper) WekFest.
- So WekFest, is it annual?
- (Jasper) Yeah it's annual.
- Annual, travels, but it's annual here in the area,
and it's filled right now if you go watch youtube videos,
it's filled with like slammed Gs and slammed cars
and mini coopers, and BMWs.
- Super stancy stuff.
- Super stancy stuff and this is in the same exact location
this must be at least 14 years old, 15 years old,
and if you look super closely,
and I'll give it to Mario to zoom in at.
- We'll get close ups for you guys.
- You can see lifted Hummers, Pontiac Aztecs,
Honda Civics with fire flames, white Lexuses
like up to the sky, Mazdas, Hondas, Honda, Honda, Honda.
- CRXs, Preludes, that's 2000s yep.
- It's crazy that like that's like the cool thing right now
and but that's in the same exact location
which means like - That was the first big
car show I ever went to.
- Back in the day that was cool you know.
- It's the same thing, nothing is really
it's different but nothing has changed,
you know what I mean, it's crazy.
Yeah, the style has like changed but the,
I don't know, it's crazy to see that, wow.
- It's crazy, the best thing is to see all the brands,
a lot of them still around,
a lot of other brands not around.
- You even bent this so that you could come back to it
so you could see which wheels you wanted to get.
A man was thinking about picking up some Konig blatants
or Konig appeals.
- (Andrew) Venom, nitrous was massive, everybody was doing
nitrous, ace wheels, volk racing, advanti racing,
Konig was super hot, Konig's been in the game for a while
man they're still killing it.
That's it, we could make three hours of this reminiscing
and I could tell you stories for days
but I wanted to share my collection with you.
- That's insane, that is crazy.
- So we will get you some close ups of this stuff,
I'll share some of my photos with you,
you guys can see the old school if you're not familiar
with it, it has been going on forever
and it was 100% fast and furious
and that's what was super hot.
- That is hot, 2004.
- I was crushing it, my Civic, dude, I was the man.
- Back when Jasper was just a figment in imagination.
- Jasper was six.
- Bomex body kit, Kamanari spoiler,
and a bunch of APC altezza lights,
Injen intake, custom interior,
I even, I had like five or six sponsors too.
I had a full sponsorship from a glow company,
I was the first person in the area
with a LED color changing under body light kit,
swear to god, look me up bro.
- Look me up bro!
Check him out on Instagram,
before Instagram was a thing.
- If you remember me a McDonald's
back in the day, I was glowing rainbow colors.
- Well that is awesome, well we took a trip
down memory lane, drop a comment on what you
remember from the car scene when you were young,
so if you're young, I guess just take it back
to when you were 16 and drop a comment
on what you think was probably the craziest thing.
To me, I would say seeing A mann, this guy right here,
rocking around in one of these,
is probably the craziest thing ever.
And don't forget to subscribe as well
and we'll just continue to open up boxes
and when we find more stuff we'll share it.
- Yep we're gonna continue our digging
and we will get you some awesome close ups,
thanks for watching, drop a comment, peace.
