- Some people say that you can tell a lot about a person
based on their astrological sign,
but can astrology be used to find the perfect car for you?
We did literally minutes of astrological research,
and today we're gonna determine the best car for every sign.
I'm joined by Nolan.
Fun fact, we both have Zodiac signs.
So, (Nolan scoffs)
is this gonna be accurate?
Let's find out.
I'm James and this is,
- Let's get it.
- "The D-List." Let's go.
A big thanks to Helix for sponsoring today's video.
Now I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again.
Sleep is the most important meal of the day.
That's why I ordered Helix mattress
to get a comfortable 8-16 hours of sleep every night.
I like Helix mattresses so much
that I got one at the office and one at home.
They're the most awarded mattress brand
of 2020 for a reason.
Helix understands that everyone is different
and even developed a sleep quiz that matches your body type
and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you.
I myself like a middle of the road firmness
and I often sleep on my washboard abs.
So Helix paired me with the Helix Dusk Luxe.
And after a month of sleeping on it,
I can honestly say it is a very comfortable mattress.
#Jamespumphreyapproved.
And it's not just finding your perfect mattress
that Helix makes easy.
They also deliver it right to your door.
It even comes with a 100 night sleep trial
so you can be sure that it's the perfect match
or they'll come pick it up themselves
and give you a full refund.
So start getting a comfortable night's sleep
and go over to Helixsleep.com/donut media,
or click the link in the description
to receive up to $200 off your mattress,
plus two free pillows, which are also comfortable.
Now, back to the show.
(light electronic music)
I just wanna make it clear,
this is surface level astrology.
We're not gonna get that deep into it.
but I think we're gonna have a little bit of fun.
- [Director] What's that book, Nolan?
- I actually spent about two to three hours
taking notes on all the different signs,
my birth chart, you know, all the basics.
I think it's a pretty fascinating belief system.
It's pretty interesting.
- My only experience with the Zodiac
is when I became obsessed with finding his identity
and solving those murders.
Without further ado, let's get into it.
First up on the astrological calendar is Aries.
That's from March 21st to April 19th, and it is a fire sign.
- Yes, fire sign.
They're just very bold personalities,
according to my notes, let me look here.
Bold and ambitious.
- Strong desire to always be ahead of others.
Power is the priority,
handling and maneuverability might not be...
- I think I already have a car in mind for this.
- It's Freaking Hellcat.
- Yeah, yeah, Hellcat. That's usually...
- It's got hell in the name, it's fire sign.
- Aries of course, god of war.
Let's be specific here. - Yeah.
Challenger, red eye, Hellcat, wide body. Cinnamon stick red.
- Cinnamon stick red. - Yeah.
- There we go. (music chimes)
- Next up we got Taurus.
That's April 20th through May 20th.
That is an earth sign, grounded.
All right. - Hm.
- They value personal comfort,
enjoy using their senses, especially touch.
Hm, Taurus, of course, James, as you know it, a bull, right?
- Yeah. Lamborghini.
- I was gonna say Lamborghini,
but you know, practical and realistic.
- Oh, but what about like a Lexus?
- Lexus is up there.
- Like Alexis SUV or like an F150.
- King Ranch F150. - Yeah, King Ranch F150.
Comfortable.
- Yeah. - For sure.
It's practical.
You can tow stuff.
You can throw crap in the bed.
- Lots of fine touchpoints in the vehicle.
The steering wheel, leather wrapped.
I assume the shifter is as well.
- Heated steering wheel.
- Everything is just comfy.
You know, you're just, you're just vibing.
You're just in there.
- So Taurus, we're going with a Ford
but not a Ford Taurus, Ford F150 King Ranch.
Next up we got Gemini.
It's May 21st to June 20th.
This is an air sign.
A little woo, woo, woo.
You know what I mean?
Often seen as two-sided or indecisive,
but it's more that they crave adaptability.
- Adaptability, hm.
- Fun loving, social butterflies.
- I want to say like Subaru off the bat.
- Ooh. Yeah.
Like a Subaru Baja. (Nolan laughs)
'cause it's dual, - Cause it's two sided.
- It's kind of like a sports rally car
and it's kind of a truck. - Oh yeah (laughs).
- And plus they're social butterflies
and the Subaru community is one of the strongest
- Very social, yeah. - car communities.
- Subaru came out with like a factory series
of bumper stickers you can put on your car
to like show what you're into, which is like kinda corny,
but like as a community...
- Or yeah, either a Baja or a Chevy SSR.
It's literally a truck that you can take the top down.
- And how fitting that we're being indecisive about this.
- Yeah. - So you get two options.
- If you're a Gemini, get yourself either a Subaru Baja
or a Chevy SSR. (music chimes)
Next on the calendar is Cancer.
That's June 21st to July 22nd. - Okay.
- It's a water sign.
My sister, Mary, is a cancer.
So, - Shout out to Mary.
- Let's see if this is accurate.
Sentimental at their core, - Hm.
- heritage might be more important than performance.
Cancers tend to be sensitive and want to help others
so safety and security are also important.
- Yeah and in my notes, I've got,
Cancers are very intuitive. - Hm.
- They're able to intuit (laughs).
So something sentimental, a vehicle with history behind it.
Heritage is more important than performance, okay,
that narrows it down.
- Volvo?
- Volvo. Volvo.
- Like a Volvo 240 Wagon.
- [Nolan] Yeah. I think that's the move.
- That's such like a hand-me-down car.
- Hm, yeah. Sentimental.
- She had a Volvo 240. - What?
- Yeah. - This is real guys.
- It's real, guys.
If you're a cancer, a Volvo 240 Wagon.
Back with another fire sign.
- Oh boy.
- This is a summer baby. - Oh, boy.
- Leo, July 23rd, August 22nd.
Leos want their individuality and creativity to shine.
So maybe some aftermarket support.
- Leos are vivacious, theatrical and passionate people.
- [James] Dramatic, they like attention.
- I wanna say like dude, passionate and dramatic?
- Lambo. - Lambo.
- Lambo.
And with Lamborghini, you can literally pick
but you don't need the after market support
because you can literally pick every single thing
about the car.
- And you can make some really (beep) up looking cars.
- So if you're a Leo, you better save up
because the perfect car for you
is a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ,
that you customized with crazy options
and you're probably gonna want to fly to Italy
to pick it up. (music chimes)
Virgo. My girlfriend is a Virgo.
- Hm? - They're the best sign.
That's August 23rd to September 22nd.
It's an earth sign, very grounded.
Virgos tend to be reserved and responsible.
I can attest to that.
Casey is very responsible, a nice yin to my yang.
Performance and quality are important.
They're drawn to simplicity and design,
utility wins over beauty.
And lastly, they're cautious
and want something with a proven safety rating.
So Casey drives an Audi SUV. - Hm.
So I think that fits the bill,
but she really wants like a 964 or a 993, 911.
- What about a Porsche Cayenne?
- I could see a cayenne.
It's responsible, because it's got a lot of room.
It's not a crazy design
especially compared to other luxury SUV's.
Performance is there, they are fast.
Quality is there.
So if you're a Virgo, get yourself a Porsche Cayenne.
Next up we got the Libra, it's a lion.
September 23rd to October 22nd.
And even though it's a lion, it's an air sign,
which is weird.
Why don't you tell me about Libras, Nolan?
- Libras? Sure.
In my notes, you know, Libras have a fixation
with balance and harmony, they're obsessed with symmetry.
You know, we're not looking for anything flashy here,
looking for car that covers all the bases.
- Performance, comfort, price, et cetera,
all balanced evenly. - Okay.
- It sounds like you got an idea.
All right, I'm listening.
- Performance, comfort and price. KIA Stinger.
- Yeah. It's got all wheel drive.
- It does. - So it's balanced.
- It does have all wheel drive, that's symmetry dude.
- It's a performance car that is luxurious.
- They're nice. - That won't break the bank.
Twin turbo, all wheel drive. - That's symmetrical too.
- Oh my God. It's so perfect.
- This is real.
- This stuff is real.
- This is real. - It's real.
(music chimes)
Scorpio, like Drake.
- What?
- Drake is a Scorpio.
October 23rd to November 21st, water sign.
Just like Drake, secretive person, he had a son.
- Hey. (both laughing)
- Understated exteriors but a spicy personality
that may catch others off guard.
They're assertive and confrontational by nature
but value a low-key profile.
I mean this, that is Drake.
- That's real. Okay.
So understated the exterior but spicy person.
So what about, - Like a sleeper maybe?
- Can we think of a car that derives strength
from psychic and emotional realm?
- What about Trailblazer SS?
(both laughing)
It's definitely got an understated exterior.
It's got a spicy LS too under the hood.
And I think if you drive a Trailblazer SS,
- I think you're confrontational.
You're a confrontational person if you drive one of those.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got tattoos.
(both laughing)
- So perfect car for a Scorpio, Chevy Trailblazer SS.
(music chimes)
Sagittarius. November 22nd to December 21st.
Got ourselves another fire sign.
Sagittarius needs freedom above all else.
They love to travel.
They need to escape often.
They're extremely self-reliant, even on the go.
- So that's Land Rovers out.
- Optimistic, (both laughing)
ambitious idealistic.
Sagittarius's can potentially overlook obvious issues.
- Okay, so maybe they're back in, they're back in.
- What about a van life?
- Ooh, like a E350?
- Like a E350 converted to like being able to sleep in
the car. - Dude.
- You don't even have to have a house.
How much more free can you be? - Yeah.
- You can also cook in it, you know?
Like you can cook it, you can put a toilet in it.
- I love this. - Yeah.
- I love this for us.
- I love this for us. We are nailing it.
This is real. - This is real
- This stuff is real. - It's real.
- Can you please hit the like button,
please hit the like button before I forget, please hit it.
Thank you. (music chimes)
Capricorn, end of the year,
December 22nd through January 19th is an earth sign.
Jesus was a Capricorn. - Hm?
- Capricorns are hardworking.
They value dependability. - Okay.
- They make the most out of what they have
and are more practical than the other signs.
They value things that are well engineered.
They're willing to keep up with maintenance.
- I'm smelling a German car again.
They're cautious, detail oriented and appreciate tradition.
- Dude, G Wagon.
German cars are all very well put together,
really great build quality, a lot of attention to detail,
so check.
Appreciate tradition, the G wagon has been
- Basically been the same for 150 years.
- for so long.
The new ones, that's why we're not going with a new one,
new ones a new platform.
We're going with the old one,
trying to get you your value for your money.
- One that you wouldn't mind (indistinct) little bit.
- [Nolan] Yeah (indistinct)
- It's also a very practical car.
- Those cars have the best sounding doors in the world.
(door bangs)
- If you're a Capricorn, get yourself a G Wagon.
- [Machine] Downloading, downloading.
- If you thought this list was over, you're wrong,
dead wrong.
I like the way it's going down.
It's the age of Aquarius.
- January 20th to February 18th, air sign, Aquarius.
Naturally stand out and love innovation.
- Oh yeah.
- They're unwilling to follow the paths of others,
don't wanna feel limited. - Mh?
- They're not superficial.
So what they get out of the vehicle matters more
than the looks of the vehicle.
So I was gonna say innovation,
like I was thinking electric, - Mh?
- but I do think electric is a little limiting
'cause the range still...
- (indistinct) on where you live, yeah.
Hmm, Hydrogen? - Yeah.
- So maybe like one of those, what's it called?
- Is it a Mirai, Mirai. - Mirai.
Toyota Mirai. - It's the ugliest car ever.
- So they don't care about the looks.
- Yeah. And check this out.
The only emission from the Toyota Mirai is water droplets,
aqua? - Aquarius.
(both laughing)
If you're an Aquarius, I am so sorry
but your perfect car is in my opinion,
the ugliest car ever made.
- They look good from the back, the front, not so...
It looks like a Thrasher whale.
(James laughs) (music chimes)
- All right, finally, we have reached the end
of our Zodiac calendar with Pisces,
- Oh.
- It's February 19th to March 20th, it's a water sign.
And it's both of our signs.
Pisces tend to be selfless, handsome,
(Nolan laughs)
they wanna help others without expectation
of getting anything in return.
We're friendly, we're artistic, we're handsome.
We can balance our emotional needs with tangible needs.
We the type of people who grow in the face of adversity,
- Which is like,
what's the most well-balanced car in the world?
- I mean, M3 is up there.
- M3.
- As far as like practicality and fun goes,
- I can't think of anything better.
- Yeah. What era M3 though?
- The new one.
It's part of a long pedigree, it's the newest one,
balanced, fun, emotional, friendly,
with that big old smile on the front.
Artistic, you can get them
in a bunch of different cool colors.
- You can, you can do that.
- Selfless, you can give people rides
and it grows the face of adversity
and handles what life throws their way.
Almost every gen of M3, people have been like,
"What? They made it a V8? What? It's turbo now?
What the grill is big!"
But you know what?
They always come around and they just keep making good cars.
- I have to agree with you, James.
- If you're a Pisces, get yourself a new M3
in baby pee-pee green. (all laughing)
(music chimes)
- Nolan, thanks for coming by - James, thanks for having me.
and helping me figure out
this very real science of astrology.
- It's very real.
