hi guys i will be uploading this video with nomad internet linked below in the
video description if you need some mobile unlimited internet two of my favorite things
bowling and margaritas a mexican restaurant right next door possibly the world's largest bowling pin
i don't know what that has to do with the mexican restaurant but quirky and you get a thumbs up tell
you what it is super windy today and guys just in full transparency what a crazy summer it has
been this is day three in detroit i got stuck here check this out tornado warnings in michigan
tornado warnings going like crazy my phone's beeping like crazy
we just went through this a couple weeks ago
oh geez yep yep yep don't know what to do don't really know what to do so that was two nights
ago i talked with my harvest host there about not moving on because i it's just terrifying i mean
that's the second time in two months i've dealt with tornado siren warnings this place got wrecked
with flooding rain wind power outages what a crazy weird summer it's been i did not know detroit
was like this in the summer and now today i ain't gonna lie that breeze feels amazing i am loving it
it's still kind of hot and humid here in detroit but we got a nice sunny day so thanks for joining
me guys we're going to do one more day in detroit and then move the heck on get north yeah i'm out
and tater tot to start the day here in detroit and uh one of my patreon members deborah recommended
some lunch so i'm gonna head over and stuff my murph yeah traffic pretty light here downtown
detroit and a weekday 2 pm um just getting through every single light although they're doing a bunch
of construction and stuff uh i'm having no trouble getting through downtown that's a good feeling
we are going about two tenths of a mile more and i'll let you know when we get there and where i'm
gonna park all right don't ask me how i got such awesome parking there was one spot left right here
at american coney island detroit and las vegas but this is where it started this is where the coney
island dog started here their first location is in detroit they have bird scooters here and if
we take a look around this block right here at all the tall buildings here's the front of it detroit
thick and thin it even says beer but the road goes that way the road goes down that way and i'm gonna
go find the entrance here oh i'm gonna pay for my parking first all right just paid my parking only
two dollars for one hour i wanted to show this plaque though too american coney island owned
and operated by the cairo since 1917. wow all right so i asked him what i should get they said
i need to get a coney island hot dog with fries and a soda they do have some local brews here too
pretty cool place here man not too busy this time of day how cool is this man and what of you
what a view of downtown so you order your food they bring it to you and then you pay when you
leave i think i'm going to sit at this awesome table right here with this view also i sometimes
have trust issues when i'm in downtown places that i don't trust so i sat here specifically so that
i can keep an eye on tater tots it makes me feel better you know all right just delivered i got the
coney island dog with chili and cheese i opted out of the onions because i'm not a heavy onion eater
fries and i don't have coke maybe they docked two points for not having coke but
other than that it looks pretty good man what's the etiquette here do you try to eat it with your
hands or do you have to use a fork because of the chili i'm gonna try and see what happens here no
i'm gonna have to use a fork is that how you do it is that against the rules i don't even know okay
holy cow
that's not cheese that's mustard
it's fine it just caught me off guard i thought it was cheese and it was definitely not cheese
i don't like mustard that much but it works they didn't overdo it not too bad my first coney island
dog experience was a good one if i were to do it again though i would go no mustard i just
kind of smeared some of the mustard off but that was really tasty now what well like i said this
is my last day in detroit i do have permission to stay one more night at the harvestos i want
to make this clear though if you're a harvest house member usually you only get one night this
was basically like an emergency it was unsafe to drive and it's very rare here that tornado sirens
are are blowing and telling you to take cover and stuff so it changed a lot of people's plans
this weekend and everything and i'm grateful that they're allowing that actually it's the company
itself it's the peddler's antique and craft place not harvest hosts because you only get one night
with harvest so basically what i'm trying to say i have looked everywhere for movie related stuff
to eight mile and eminem because i'm a big eminem fan not finding anything that's really accessible
or anything like that but detroit is motor city right and i am a ford guy right how about
we go visit some automobile history i actually booked this last night it was 34
to buy the ticket so that's where i'm heading next i have a reservation at the museum so let's go
check out some old ford classic vehicles all right here's the front they do a lot of different tours
they even do a factory tour but you can't film on the factory tour where they actually show you
how they put together vehicles and stuff i think they're working on their new trucks
uh parking there is a charge for parking but it's included with your 34 prepaid ticket so
just gotta find a place for tater tot look at that there's a taut spot right there i'll pull
all the way forward like i always do see people always laugh at me in my smart car i got to get
my lap on so i pull all the way forward so you're driving through and driving through you get all
excited and you're like oh there's a parking spot there's a park oh that stupid smart car
i love it i love it all right there's the front welcome center fully vaccinated people do not
need to wear a mask inside and of course the museum store gift store on the way out for
my magnet but we're gonna head on down here because i already got my tickets online what
the new jim henson exhibition from now till september 6th that's pretty cool the henry
ford where should we start i think we're gonna go around the outside same thing i usually do when i
go into antique stores this place is americana history guys look at all the awesome neon old
old mcdonald's neon sign root beer and look they even put a chevy in front of the golden arches
at the ford museum man that is so neat this place is freaking cool guys definitely worth 34 bucks
what's this over here lambie's booth service can we peek in there yep it's an old school train
diner man now we're getting into our our safety section look at the curved windshield on that car
the 57 cornell liberty safety car look at the seats huh weird also some old school car seats
look at the band would you put that around their head or their waist or something
interesting and i do think it's pretty cool that they they still have chevy stuff going on
even though they were fierce competitors back in the day some sky skychee fuel pumps there
look at this old texaco that's not a fire truck is it i think that's a gas truck right more awesome
neon signs jeez that's so cool oh my gosh there's even a train section
look at all these old school individual cars all hooked together and powered by
this guy here they even put the train tracks into the building of the museum
wow this is a monster museum this is like going to a theme park pretty much
they got a model train set here going so you can see somebody standing next to this train train
snowplow uh-huh that that is getting rid of any of the ice buildup and snow on the track
probably used up north and there you go canadian pacific
but could also have been used here in the united states as well boo joey logano
but yeah drive-in movie theater neon there there's a movie you can go see inside the theater
there i'm gonna skip that for right now this is pretty neat because i actually visited this place
the bonneville area i took my rv and i made a video and talked about trying to
break a land speed record in my tw200 you guys remember that back back in the day
yeah i kind of missed the desert lately but well i don't miss it right this second i might miss it
this winter it's kind of hot there right now funny that i owned both of these vehicles i had a 98
ford explorer and i had a honda accord i think it was a 94 honda accord that looked very very it's
even a dx model had transmission issues actually look at this old car phone you guys remember that
yeah my dad did have this car phone in our 88 uh ford aerostar yep thought we were pretty cool
there you go sean there's a chevy betty white wannabe in uh pink there
yeah that might not be a 54 though it's close did you know that our first self-driving car
was in 2016 this one by general motors you can see the cameras on the front there i've never
actually seen one in person there's a bunch of cameras on top there and more sensors and stuff
there's some kind of a gear mechanism plugged into the hub of the tire there and more cameras
and sensors on the back i guess most people out there probably against self-driving cars but
having driven plenty around detroit here in the last three four days i would gladly take this car
over any detroit driver on these roads they have a complete aviation section here with a a full-size
plane above us i'm going to skip that one for today and stick to the cars and stuff they told me
i should expect five or six hours here inside the museum that's the average time people spend this
is a an early 1855 stationary steam engine there's some pictures of uh what it was like there 1851
and they have it here in the museum so you clearly could spend a lot of time in this museum reading
every single thing what does it say edison general electric company a 200 kilowatt dynamo
huh obviously on this channel i have been to a lot of museums and shared them with you not
all of them i could i could share with you but this is the most impressive museum i've ever
seen in my life if you don't like museums come to this one it is literally like a theme park
also throughout the museum you will find plenty of these moldo rama stations and every one of them
has a map and shows you what you can do this one looks like it cost three dollars and you can mold
a bus oh busy there that's what it'll look like it'll it'll mold it right in front of you with
the stuff and it'll come out hot and i actually did i think disney has these too you can do like
mickey and donald in some of the parks or maybe they've gotten rid of them but they have at least
a dozen of these moldoramas throughout the museum well i just learned something new about henry ford
here are his violins of course he played the violin that was the instrument i learned to play
violin on yeah fifth grade john rogers elementary school found out a girl i had a crush on was gonna
learn to play the violin so i got dad to buy me a violin went to went there my first day
played all the way through high school till my senior year and then i dropped it
and she never actually joined the class back in the fifth grade she she changed
her mind oh my gosh is that what i think it is they've got the oscar meyer weenie mobile yes
oh i love it i want one i would totally turn this into a camper and drive it around the
freaking country i totally would guys that is freaking cool yellow band wieners uh-huh
all right remember there's lots more to see but i don't want to make this
video too long and i want you to see some new stuff for when you come here
lastly i want to check out this limited edition jim henson exhibition obviously
i love love love jim henson's creativity and especially the muppets yup jim henson
kermit the frog and we actually have a kermit the frog right there not currently singing any rainbow
connection to us hey buddy from the 80s those are my guys bert and ernie here yeah all right what
kind of design are we gonna do on this puppet all the different eyes and noses and stuff like that
i think we gotta start with those eyes and we definitely need some blue eyes it's all
uh velcro on there so i can change it if i don't like it later we'll start like that it's amazing
just a little bit can change you know a little bit farther away really change his look there
all different shapes of noses let me try the red one yeah i can test a mustache on him here
real quick and just kind of see what that looks like oh i think he could sport that we've got
the old handlebar thing going on there all right there's just one thing he's missing
oh yeah looking good my man here's henson's uh grover from 1967 appearance on the ed sullivan
show count von count from the 70s and disney used to do some really cool stuff with beaker
and honeydew also they used to have some live performance of the of these guys and some
animatronics this guy just cracks me up though all the years of jim henson muppets and muppets
how about miss piggy and fozzie mozzie bear oh i used to have a fuzzy bear plush toy as a kid
i can't forget jim henson's other work with dark crystal kira and jen here
from 1982 yeah that's a childhood classic fraggle rock in the 80s yep
and jim henson also did labyrinth and some of his other crazy funny creatures nice little surprise
there with all the gym hens and stuff here so i spent three hours here myself got a lot of
walking in had a lot of fun and i skipped a bunch of stuff there was a bunch of stuff that i just
wasn't interested and i think that may be the case for lots of people you know there might
be other things to do in the day i got my kitties sitting in an rv about 30 miles away and i'm like
so i want to go check out the gift museum the gift store real quick on my way out lots of neat stuff
here in the store i'm actually not finding any magnets i want to ask somebody oh wait

had any more and she directed me to more magnets so we have nine options here i'm just gonna scroll
through all nine of them and then see if you guys pick the one that i'm going to pick
in order of how i would pick number three is the rubber detroit model t number two is the acrylic
