I'm trying to record this, audio-wise. We'll see how it sounds. We're at Rally Ready Ranch walking into... What do they call this? The showroom? The showroom. Is it an AE86? Yeah, it's a caged AE86. That's cool. And there's a side-by-side and a C5 Jeep in front of it. And a pile of, like, tea-steak. Yeah, and look at all the car parts. There's so much crap. Dude, we haven't even touched the surface of this yet. It just goes on and on and on. It's insane.

He said there's like 115 cars back here? He hasn't even been here that long. How did that happen? I don't know. Is it just a Fusion? No, it's a Subaru. Oh, is it a Legacy? I mean, if you don't know what it is, it's probably a Subaru right back here. Which makes sense. It's a Toyota Baroo twin. Is that case? I mean, I assume it is. It's been crashed. Yeah, there's some things. The backside looks pretty bad. Look at all the bumpers!

It's just a pile of bumpers. And that's a car seat. Yeah, it's just an OMP thrown in a pile. That's an OMP even? Yeah, and just sitting on a pile of VP fuel cans. Yada. Uh-huh. Subaru. Pile of fence. That's like $3,000 in fence right there. Yeah, that's not... I know what fence goes. Look at that. CRV. Those are great. Great cars. My wife had none of those. Damn, look at that rabbit. Diesel. Golf. Yeah, that's a rabbit. It's actually a pretty straight-looking car, too. It is a really straight-looking car. And 15-inch BBSs? Yeah. Those are worth a lot of money.

He said a lot of this is literally just like, people are like, hey, can I put this there? We're going to work on it someday. This looks like the car that Dalton bought because he needs one small section of body and so does his brother-in-law. So they buy a Rex thing that kind of has gold. You don't see those a lot. There's Mr. Griffiths' rally car. Jay Griffiths. Look at that crappy little EK on SI wheels. Good grief, look at the cage in that thing. There is a lot of gusset on that. That's a 24 by 10 inch gusset on the rear down bar.

So many dimple dice. Dude, there's so many dimple dice. It's the most dimple died thing I've ever seen. Big old nameless handbrake in there. This is like a full-ass car. It's not even crashed. Careful, don't trip over his Pike's Peak car. Oh my gosh. That's his car. It's still got the big-ass wing on it. Wow, that thing is parted out. The end plate here was just fucking laying on the dirt. Holy shit. Holy shit. Yeah. Wow. That's wild. Yeah, yeah. That apparently has a pretty good two cage. Right. That looked very good to me.

Not seeing a lot of crossbars. Dude, that's a lot of car here. Big old fuel cell just sitting here open. It looks really good actually. Is this the underbody for it? I don't think so. This is wild. So whenever this was all going on, the super he was talking about was this Breanne thing. Yeah, Breanne Korn. Look at that CNC work on that uprights. There's a lot of aluminum on that upright.

Where'd you get scared by the horse? All the way to the end. Yeah, very end. Pretty nice, like, door... Yeah, the door frame is badass. It's like a frame where you put the skin of the door on it with Zeus fasteners. It's neat. Look how bad the wrap looks. That wasn't even that long ago. 2000... What was that? 12 years ago? Yeah, that was kind of a long time ago.

And you've got to think this has been sitting out in Texas. Yeah, so it got hot. It's gotten hot a lot of times. What's under the thing here? I don't know. This one we never checked. Car cover? Did you see the bottom name on this thing? Yeah, it's Obama. We decided that he drove it before. Winter Obama on a rally car. I wonder who Obama is. I mean, it's Barack. I mean, there's got to be somebody who knows. Hey, it might have been Michelle. He's railing the stage rally. He's railing the stage rally. Dude, you've got to check this thing out. The Santana. Yeah, the Land Rover's from freaking Mexico. It's a Mexican spec Land Rover. It's got to be in the, it's probably from the 70s, right? I would think so.

That's freaking neat, dude. It's got side steps on it. It's really solid looking, too. That's the door handle? Yeah. It looks like parts are missing. No. It's like inset, like recessed? Yeah, they're like inset to the door and then riveted in. Probably so you can't rip it off. I suppose. It's kind of brilliant. That's nice, too.

It's a very heavy-duty top, too. There's like a double roof. Do you see that? Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. It's prepared for hail. And maybe insulating it? I don't know. From crap falling on it? 444 Rallycross car? Yeah. First-gen CTSD. It looks like a real car still. Yeah, it is. It's only been here for a little while. I hope someone... The temp tag on it's only like 60 days. You hope someone's going to cage it. Hold it. First-gen R2. Cool. Yeah. Look it. There's just like GC Subarus everywhere. Yeah, so many Subarus. With wild $10,000 cages. Yeah, probably. Is this a Focus? I don't know what this is. Yes.

Non-caged, but wrapped school focus. Yeah, it was. I don't think there's a lot left. There ain't a whole lot of engine and hub in there. No. Wow, this is neat. Is that all the Airstream back there? Yes. Cool. Especially on MR2s are cool. Especially with eBay carbon mufflers. Look at the fucking dope wheels. Yeah, those are cool. I don't know what they are. I had a set of these. What are they? I had one of those.

They might be Borbets. Borbets. Another destroyed BRC. I think these might have been their old school cars. I mean, it looks, the wrap is so baked. It's kind of a cool wrap, though. Like, these aren't old cars. No. Why don't you just, like, put it on Facebook Marketplace. It makes some money. What is this? I don't know. I thought it was a Subaru. No, this is a Toyota Celica? Corolla. Is this an 86? 80-something-something? It's newer than an 86. It's the next gen, yeah.

Or is it? No. Yeah, it is. It's got lazy pop-ups with LED fog lights. And a bunch of bell housings in the back seat. See that? It's like bell housings. Like a bunch. Oh my gosh. And an ITB air filter. Oh yeah. And a vibrant muffler. Flat black universal muffler. Part number 1147. And a rear end housing. It's really expensive. An open R120 with no guts in it. Ooh, braids. Five legs in the car.

And just a random-ass dually? Yeah. That's a cooked-ass dually. Yeah. What a weird place. This is somebody like... Taco and Bubba's hay delivery. Taco and Bubba's hay delivery. It's a Cummins dually, and it just looks like it's been here for a thousand years. Fully caged. I've got a soft spot for the black one here. Yeah, what... Is this a round... A bug eye? Looks like it. I think it's the gen after. What are those? Hawkeyes? Blah-beyes? Blah-beyes. It's a blah-beye, yeah. Hawkeye? We know our receivers. I don't freaking know.

Hey, there, now. Huh? What happened? Hey, there, now. Oh, is that what it says underneath it? This is like somebody's own rally car. Good grief. Just a beat-up Black Rifle Coffee Company rally car. Is it like a black car or something? Yeah. And then that, I don't know why it's covered up, but it's just a two-door, like a GC Subaru with no rear quarter panels. Just cut off? Just cut off. For wide bodies. Put the over fenders on, dude. I guess.

There's a bunch of, like, aluminum campers. Like, Airstream kind of Airstream thing. Is that not an Airstream? I don't think so. I think this is a different... There was a bunch of companies in the 60s and stuff that, like, made... Oh, that's a real Airstream. That's a real one. Oh, yeah. Look at that. There's a bunch of them that, like, did similar things, though. Like, the ones over there? Yeah. Those aren't Airstreams. BMW. What is that? A little side-by-side thing? Yeah, side-by-side. Oh, wow. Just wrap side-by-sides.

The amount of money in rap alone back here? You know how much it costs to rap anything? Here's the best rap of the whole place. It's a Crown Vic, and it says the results are in, and it's a Ricky Lake rap with the Solo Cup blue and purple swirl. It's a Taco Bell. It's so cool. Anything that, like, Pit Viper and Black Rifle and all those were at. Heat Wave and stuff. That was part of that at some point. They're like, great, there's so many cage Subarus. We're at, like, 25 cage Subarus. What is this over here? Old Integra? There's another Integra somewhere over there.

I mean, so many cages. And, like, they all are real cages. Each one of these cages is, like, a $10,000 cage. Yeah. On a good, cheap day. Yeah, that's the Noah guy. Great. Holy crap. Like, we're talking, in my view right now, there's a DA Integra right there, too. And a DC. In my view, there's 10 GC Subarus, or Subarus of some sort, with crazy rally cages. And wraps, and, and, and. Like, they have raced and have crashed. Oh. Trailer.

The jungle room. I saw the coffee on there. Oh, you can see what happened here. There's a whole front pushed in. If you like that sometimes. Wow. It's fixable. It does look pretty fixable. That's not that bad. Yeah. Felton Klein would have that fixed on his frame rack in 20 minutes. Yeah, like this shell looks pretty good. The back is all there. And that's like not even that crazy. You know, like some of the ones are even crazier. It's very well built for sure. Yeah, they do a really good job here. This is an MG. Yes. Just an MG open. It's like got the floors in it and stuff still. I don't know why it's not.

well it rains here but not that much it's all there wow prelude ek bunch of hundas school bus just looks like it ran into the woods and stopped so crazy like that cage is awesome yeah yeah wow You can see where that one rolled in the front corner there. Just hit it with a hammer. Just bond to it. Barely broke the windshield. Only half of the windshield is wrecked. It looks like it skidded for a while too. They finished that event. That's like the original dirt from the crash. Cage has got good paint on it still. Could have been that long. This is their new logo too, so it's not that old. Oh, it wrecked the front end a little bit too. No, this is kind of janky here. Oh, that's probably from the rollover. Still fixable.

That's about it, though. See, a toilet, a dually bed, and a utility truck that also looks like it ran into the woods. Is that a Dodge dually bed? Dalton can use that. I think it is. It's got the swoopy sides on it. And then there's horses on the other side of this coffee trailer. Take a picture of the bed and see if Dalton needs it. So crazy. On the diner. Good grief. It's hard to believe how much crap it's back here. Well, if this audio worked, we just did a quick podcast. This is, uh, this one's pretty solid. We'll get the back of this car. Which one is that? Oh, where everything is missing? I don't even, what's the front look like? What is the front? No, there's no sheet there.

Like there's the spare tire well, none of the rear wheels on either side. Nothing connecting. None of the door jams. Everything is gone. What does the dash say? Oh, it's an SI. It's an 8th gen SI. Look at the gauge cluster. It's an 8th gen. Oh, yeah. Look at that.

Hopefully, like, at least one or two other SIs got to live. Yeah, what would you cut it like this for? Like, so if you picture a car, a car being, what, five and a half feet wide? It's about two and a half feet wide. They cut everything from the spare tire well straight forward on either side of the spare tire well, but the spare tire well's still there. So is the rear floor. Weird. What a fun place. Bean's girlfriend wouldn't let me put this tin over to see if there's something. There's something living underneath that. She's no fun. She's no fun. Man, what a good time. This place rules. This is my favorite place. Somebody's ripping.

I want to go back and drive a Sierra car. I want to do it again. That's how fun it was. We drove electric Sierra cars. That was really great. Me and Dusty did. You didn't drive it, did you? I didn't drive it, no. Frickin' cool, dude. $39,000. Is that a D46 right now? Yeah, it's a D46. There's like a 240, 240. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's a... 260, maybe? They're kind of the same chassis. Except for the long... Except for the long window. So, it looks just like E-Man's car. It looks just like E-Man's car, because it's not a car. Burn. Burn. This feels like where the snakes go. Look at the cage on this thing.

Like, wow, somebody crashed the shit out of this one. Wow. Wow. It's a pretty rad kind of line. How come I didn't see this? High top camper, like, 82 would kind of line? That top is awesome. It is all fiberglass. I bet this thing's nice, dude. Probably got 20,000 miles. Nobody drives campers. There's a bed up there. That's where the bed goes. This would be the dopest little rig. Yeah. Put a frickin' Cummins underneath of it or a 7.3. 2019 in New York is the last safety certification. It's pretty clean, actually. That's the only rust I see here. A Falcon.

Got the extended in the back, too. This is probably all fine. Yeah, that's all. Sheet metal insert, and then they stretch the back. Freaking neat. Falcon 190. What a cool place.

If you haven't ever heard of Rally Ready Ranch, you probably should. You should just come here and spend money someday because it's the greatest place on earth. It's, like, actually the happiest place on earth. There's so many gunshots around here, too. People just blasting target shots. When we were back here earlier, you could hear, like, they were having a party. They were playing Mexican polka music. Hell yeah, dude. When you got tuba. You'd have been in for it. When you got Mexican tuba going, boom, boom. It's the best, like, along with, like, a high trumpet. It's the greatest. It's freaking rad. That is the soundtrack of Southeast South. Boom, boom, boom, boom. I didn't see this on the way in.

Oof. They hit something heavy right there. The whole side's torn on that thing. The suspension line's still there. This looks pretty fresh. That probably happened here. What happened to the window? Did the person fly out? No, because it's caved in. Yeah, it's caved in. Not out, isn't it? There's a lot of car left here. All the drivetrains there. Wow, look at it. It shoved the whole back of the rear of the subframe back. Yeah. Ripped the coil over out of the four zone. Buckled. This is the best crash. This is by far the best crash we've seen. This is the most fucked car. We're still in the passenger seat here? Yeah, this is the most fucked car. Look at that wild.

The handbrake? The handbrake, though. Yeah, they use a lot of those nameless ones. They're in, like, all the cars. Well, one of them over there had a Lasset handbrake. I think they're pretty expensive. Like a Bucky Lasset? Yeah. He has his own company making rally car parts. I didn't know that. He's, like, BFS with Dave here, too. Dave was just talking shit about how bad he is at buying flights. The first year we came here. What's that pile of things? What are those? Engines and stuff. They wouldn't let me go back there because they thought they'd be rattlesnakes. Probably rattlesnakes. Oh, it's a trailer covered in engines. Yes. And, like, cut up body panels. It's all kinds. A lot of fire bottles in there. There's fire bottles. There's all kinds of shit in there.

It's crazy. There's a K-Series right there. There's a Subaru block. Because, you know. So that building, the hangar is 6,000 square feet, I think he said. And they're building a 20,000 square foot building next to it. Jesus. Yeah. Because they're so busy. Like building cars. That's so cool. Maintaining cars. And then people, they're shifted more towards like private rentals of the track for testing. Like that brand new Ford that just pulled in tonight. That's a private rental tomorrow. Brand new car straight from Poland. Factory built. M Sport. It's like the Ford rally builder. You said they had Red Bull here for those rally, or for those Sierra cars. Yeah.

Customer events for those Sierra cars. Yeah, I think he figured out how to make some money with a cool place. This looks like the oldest barn of all time. It's literally made out of, like, tree lumber. Look at this. You can see where the branches were. Yeah. Fucking cool. That used to be a tree here on this property. Yeah, that's awesome. I want to build a house out of a tree that I cut down someday. New light bulb. There's the trimmer right there. Yeah, that's where you put Steve Buscemi? Or did Steve Buscemi put the guy in there? I think he put the guy in there. I thought he was the guy that was putting him in there. I don't remember. It's been a while since I've seen Fargo. Yeah, that building's a... There's a lot of DIY in that building.

we walked back in there and there's a bunch of hay on the ground in there and that's where I actually got concerned about there being wildlife I didn't want to step on and we left. Yep. A lot of body panels and wheels and suspension parts. Just a whole ass Subaru transmission right here. Good place for it. Whole wide baby. Middle of the road. Man. Crazy place. Greatest place of all time. Rally Ready Rules. I don't know what their website is but you should look it up. A bunch of famous YouTubers were just here a couple weeks ago doing a bunch of shit too. And we were looking at an old Ken Block car so that was neat. Yep, that was neat. Alright. I don't know if this recorded but if it did I'm probably going to air it. Okay, see you later.
