This is going to be his first time driving.
(screeching sound)
(laughing)
- Hey, what are you guys doing?
- Today we got all of our cars out.
Even a Monster Ford Raptor truck,
because today is a huge milestone as a parent.
I'm going to teach my son how to drive.
And he is going to start thinking
about what car he is going to get,
when he turns 16.
(somber music)
First of all, I need to say that,
times have changed a lot.
When I was a kid and I turned 16,
I didn't think we'd be able to afford having a car.
And my parents bought me a really cool 1988
Jeep Wrangler.
That had like a big lift on it.
It was old, it broke down a lot
but I was incredibly grateful for it.
Obviously, you guys know,
we've been on YouTube for years now.
And we've done a lot of Tesla content.
We've been able to buy some cars,
like the Tesla Roadsters.
That are super cool,
but they're more of like an investment.
That they are gonna to be something that we hold on to.
And yes, Lincoln is a YouTuber.
This channel started as a second grade science project.
That was Lincoln's second grade science project.
We still have a year until Lincoln turned 16.
He started this YouTube channel.
He should be able to get a car when he turned 16,
and a have something to drive.
Whether it is a $5,000 car
or a Tesla model 3.
I'm excited to see what kind
of car he wants and to see which thing we can get.
Cause obviously not everybody has the means,
especially in today's day and age,
to be able to afford having a car.
When you turn 16.
Let's see what Lincoln thinks
about our current cars that we have,
and see what kind of car that he might
want to get in the future.
And then give him a little driving lesson.
Lincoln, How many times have you driven a car?
- Zero. I have never driven.
I've never like, sat in the front seat.
Nothing.
(laughing)
- The closest you've gotten to driving,
is probably a golf cart at the golf course.
- Yeah. I'd say I drive a golf cart,. almost every day
- And you're pretty proficient at that.
- Yeah.
- Sometimes you, get a little crazy on it.
It makes me a little concerned.
But anyway, we have our red Roadster, which is awesome.
- [Lincoln] That looks so good.
- That could be a nice car to drive to high school in
next year.
- I couldn't trust myself driving that.
- No? What about the blue one?
- I can drive the blue one.
- What? Why the blue and not red one?
The blue one's nice too.
- It's two seats.
You can't pick golf clubs in it too.
So I'd have to like--
- You can fit golf clubs in the back.
- No you Can't.
- Yeah. I've done it.
Eric Andrews Lynn did it when he was here.
- You can't fit two.
- That's true.
What about this car with the Falcon wing doors,
The Tesla model X?
- There's no way I'd drive one of these cars.
- Tesla is the one of the safest cars in the world.
- Yeah. And they're also very nice and expensive.
(laughing)
- Okay. Well how about this?
This is Jonathan, our builder.
It's his Ford Raptor.
It is Matt white.
- Yeah.
- It is beautiful.
And it's a monster truck.
- It's a monster truck.
(laughing)
- It really is like, you will never get stuck in this car.
You can be at the sand dunes.,
you could be wherever,
this thing is going to be fantastic.
- Look how big it is.
- So we need a little help from you guys.
What car should Lincoln get,
When he turns 16?
I mean, we have about a year.
He just turned 15.
In the state of Utah,
as long as you're 15
you can take a test and you get your learner's permit.
So Lincoln has a learner's permit.
- Yap.
- He is approved, to learn how to drive
and drive on the street.
So today we are going to take
this Ford Raptor Monster truck.
I think that's gonna be the one.
We're going to go
and let him drive it, but we need your help.
What car should Lincoln have when he turns 16?
What should he drive to school in?
And let's go find a giant parking lot and let's test it out.
Let's see how Lincoln can do.
This is not made up for YouTube.
This legitimately is going to be his first time
ever driving a car.
- Yeah, I'm very nervous.
I really don't want to crash Jonathan's car.
- He said it's okay. He has insurance.
- Good, good, good.
(laughing)
- Check this out.
It's so high that when you pull on the handle,
a step stool comes out for you
so you can like,
step up on it and get inside of it.
- Even then, this feels like a lot higher than most cars.
- Its not higher.
Are you ready to drive Lincoln?
- I don't know. Maybe. I hope so.
- Actually, I'm not gonna let you drive yet.
- No am not driving.
- Let me drive on the streets.
We're gonna go to a parking lot for you.
Yeah. We're going to keep this safe.
Let's go somewhere safe for Lincoln.
We are inside of the truck.
We are ready.
This is the place.
Lincoln, time to switch seats.
- Okay.
- This is gonna be his first time driving.
This is actually really exciting.
And I love that we're doing it, not in my car.
All right, buddy.
First time.
- Yes.
- Get in.
(cheerful music)
(laughing)
- My knees hit the steering wheel.
- You wanna move the seat up a little bit?
- Yeah. I'm a little short.
Why do I see so much of the like,
hood of the car?
- You do see a lot the hood,
It's not like a golf cart,
where it's just a road right there.
- Yeah.
- Can you reach the pedals?
- Yes.
I ain't touching them. Its scary.
(laughing)
- Okay. Lincoln, two hands on the wheel,
at 10 and 2 o'clock.
Do you know what that means?
As if this was a clock,
you'd put your hands where 10 o'clock
and 2 o'clock are.
There you go at 10 and two.
Hands on the wheel.
And this portion of today's video is sponsored by Car Gurus.
It's a website that I really do like
and I recommend for people that are looking to buy car.
Whether it's new or used.
The thing is, smart Car shoppers know that,
that Car Gurus can help you find a good deal on a car.
But now Car Gurus can help you with financing also.
With Car Gurus Financing Advance,
car shoppers can get a personalized financing offer.
And see their real monthly payment,
before contacting the dealer.
Other sites give you estimates,
but why would you settle for estimates,
when you can get real personalized rates?
There's no impact to your credit scores.
And it only takes minutes.
Car shopping is stressful enough.
So why wait till the end to figure out financing options?
When you use financing advance,
you can contact the dealer confident,
knowing that you have your finance offer in hand.
One of the reasons why I really like Car Gurus,
is because they have a rating for every car,
based off of how good of a deal you're getting.
It could be a great deal, or it can be an overpriced deal.
And it shows you the different ratings on there.
And only 30% of the cars, get the highest ratings.
So when Car Gurus says that you're getting a good deal,
you can rest assured that it is.
With all that being said,
find your car and find your financing at Car Gurus today.
Thank you to Car Gurus for sponsoring this part
of the video and now on to our regular content.
Lincoln there's one very important thing,
that you have not done before you drive this car
and test it out.
- What?
- what do you think it is?
- Put it into drive? (buzzer sound)
- Ooh, you do need to put into drive but not yet.
Even before that.
- Wear a helmet.(buzzer sound)
- You do not wear a helmet.
You wear a seatbelt.
- Yes.
- Safety is not first.
A lot of YouTubers are like, "safety first. safety first."
I'm like, safety isn't first,
but it's definitely in the top five.
When it comes to driving, safety definitely can be first.
And I don't have a seatbelt on.
So don't put it in drive.
Everybody in your car.
- Okay.
You need to be aware of the people that are in your car.
Not just you.
I gotta be honest.
Its really cool seeing you in the car.
- I'm very scared.
- Like I'm excited for you to drive.
- Yeah. Its really nice.
- I think you're going to be safe. and you'll be good
but you're also going to have fun, like go to the course
do the things that you want to do.
- Yeah. - And be mobile.
- Mobile?
- So I'm excited.
Oh, here we go, baby.
- It's a white lense.
- Put your foot on the brake.
Always have your foot on the brake.
- Why?
- When you put it into gear.
- Why?
- Because if you put it into drive and starts going.
- Yeah it starts moving.
- Yeah. So.
- Its like the golf carts that are like,
(imitates golf cart)
- Yeah, this is a.. - Right?
- This is like a 70 or $80,000 car.
So, let's be careful with this.
And it's not ours.
One thing I'm gonna to tell you Lincoln,
see how you've got your left foot on there,
never use your left foot when you drive.
It makes it really tricky.
So get rid of that.
Just use your right foot.
There you go.
And you can go back and forth.
Okay. So yeah.
Put your foot on the brake, push on it.
- Okay.
- Okay. Now push this, grab this. I think you--
- Like all the way down?
- I mean, enough, yeah, just a decent amount.
- Okay. Then you go like--
- Push the button.
There's a trigger on it.
And you pull the trigger
and then you push it, pull it back to the D.
D for drive.
- You can't tell.
- And you can look on the screen
and it shows you too.
- That's fancy.
- Okay. Right now you were in drive.
- Yeah.
- So once you let off the brake,
it's automatically...put your hands on the wheel,
hands on the wheel.
- Did you see how it started moving?
- Yeah, Its moving when move your foot off the brake.
Okay.
- Its like, okay.
- We're going to drive straight ahead,
and go around that and through the parking lot.
- Already?
- Go.
- That's a big turn though.
- Go for it.
Let the foot off the brake. Push on the gas.
- Okay.
Oh goodness.
(laughing)
its fast.
It's not like a golf cart.
Its fast.
- Okay.
- Goodness. Goodness.
- Oh. Breaks.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, okay there we go.
Yes.
Boom.
Look at that.
- You've done it.
- Yeah.
- Okay. Do it again. Follow around.
(upbeat music)
- Did you feelthat there was a bit of a delay?
- Yeah.
- That's what happens on gas cars.
(mumbles)
- Yeah. It breaks.
I'm like, I try to push down as like slow as possible.
(techno music)
Oh, that's so weird.
I'm like barely touching it.
- Yeah, well, he is changing it up a little bit here.
He is circling around a different way.
- We gotta turn to the right this time.
Cause I can't see over there.
- Right-hand turns.
- Steering wheel is so nice,
cause you just let go and it just like,
it goes back into your hands.
Like it just start, it goes back to straight.
- Oh my gooodness.
- Yeah.
- You're a little touchy on the brakes.
- Brakes are difficult.
- Every car is different with brakes too.
So, give it a lot of gas and go kind of fast for just
just halfway to that and then stop.
- And then stop, like here?
- Don't hit the wall, like just stop
and then we'll turn right.
Just give it some more gas this time.
Go.
(tires screeching)
(laughing)
It Squeals. (laughing) Let's go fast already.
We're like, you got it down.
This is not a part of a driving lesson.
But you do need to control a car
and learn how to control it,
if something happens or you step on it.
A Tesla, I think if you take off traction control,
you can do some of this.
That's one thing
in a Tesla I'd never done is track mode in a model 3.
I need to do that someday.
- Do they not have an S?
- They don't have that. No.
They only have it in the model 3
which is kind of crazy.
- That's weird.
- So I think they're going to do a refresh on the S.
Oh, oh (laughing) we're getting in trouble now.
We got the missionaries coming.
We're in the church parking lot.
- Yep.
- They're about to get you Lincoln.
- Yeah they are.
- They are gonna be like, "What are you doing
driving in my church parking lot?"
(laughing)
What's up guys?
- Hey, what are you guys doing?
- Teaching him how to drive for YouTube video.
- Nice. This is way cool.
- Are we in trouble right now?
- No. You're totally good.
(laughing)
- Lincoln, let me see your license and registration, please.
(laughing)
- Not that old yet.
(laughing)
- Look at this guys, but you know
it's serious when it's not even in English language.
Men, look at that one.
That's a different language,
than that one.
This is serious.
- I'm trying to get our mission into cinematography.
- Oh cool.
Good news.
We are not in trouble.
They were just some nice
friendly missionaries that wanted to say hi and chat.
That's their job.
They're just some kids on a mission.
I used to be on a mission, fun fact.
In the Philippines for two years for my church.
So, kind of cool to see missionaries usually
between the ages of 18 and 25 years old,
spending their own money and their own time,
to go on a mission and serve other people.
So, (mumbles)
I'm always nice to them.
They're supposed to be in Singapore.
One of them was in Singapore and one was in Madagascar.
And then because of COVID and all that was happening,
they had to come and get reassigned.
So they came, they got reassigned here to Southern Utah.
So kind of crazy how different the times are right now.
So, where would be a place that,
you would wanna go on a mission?
- Somewhere in Europe would be cool.
- Yeah?
- Like France or somewhere there.
Like, that kind of speaking mission.
- That would be cool.
Anyway, we didn't expect to have that
as part of our video, - yeah.
- but here we are.
We don't talk about that very often in our videos.
Okay. We survived.
Jonathan. Your truck is not wrecked.
We lost some rubber on the road.
(laughing)
I think you owe him some money for that.
But thoughts Lincoln, this is the question.
What kind of car or truck do you,
what's like your dream car or truck
that you would get when you turned 16?
- Like, I mean, I think that like having a model 3,
like that's such a nice car.
- That is a nice car.
- That's expensive and it's safe.
It's safe and all, but like, yeah.
I don't know. That would be cool.
- A Tesla model 3 is a good safe car.
When it comes to Tesla's,
it's pretty cost-effective.
If the new battery cell technology is out by then,
there's word that,
that might get down to $25,000 for a Tesla model 3.
So I do like that idea.
- Yeah.
- What I like to hear about from Lincoln is
that he's not really saying that he wants like a Lamborghini
or Ferrari or like a Colby Shelby Mustang.
- I just want to have something like,
has like a decent stereo. That's pretty--
- A decent stereo. Priorities.
We definitely have a lot more to teach him.
And I do like that they give you one year
as a learner's permit,
because then we can go out and do some lessons on.
He didn't even use his blinker once when he turned here
he doesn't even know what the rule is,
for turning your blinker
and turning.
- I forgot that. Yeah.
I forgot about that.
- What happens at the intersection,
with a left-hand turn or a right-hand turn.
Lincoln, You wanna to drive home?
- Nope. - Okay, good.
Cause I wasn't going to let you.
(laughing)
You're not ready for that.
You can barely survive a church parking lot.
(tires screeching)
So an experienced driver fills out.
I will try this at home.
- I wasn't not ready.
(laughing)
- I would say you owe Jonathan about $200
for all that rubber that you lost off of his tires.
- Yeah. You think so?
What's mobile?
- Mobile, Like you're not stuck to the house.
You can move around.
- I mean, it's like confined, not molable.
Molable.
- Mobile means you--
- You said molable, molable.
- Molable?
- Yeah that's what you said,
not mobile.
- Replay that footage.
Did I say molable?
"Do the things that you want to do,
and be mobile. And be mobile."
- You said molable.
You definitely said molable.
- Yeah.
- Okay. Maybe I said, maybe I didn't.
Colby Shelby Mustang.
(imitating golf cart sounds)
