Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here.
0:08
It's my second channel, daily vlog
0:09
channel. It's the daily woo.
0:13
The warning says stay back 200 ft.
0:17
Does that apply to even sitting at a
0:19
light and not responsible for broken
0:23
windshields? So, if the driver jumped
0:25
out with a baseball bat, smashed my
0:28
windshield, is he not responsible? This
0:31
old classic truck is being targeted. It
0:34
has a a weapon
0:36
pointed at him. I don't know what the
0:38
truck ever did. Maybe it broke the law.
0:42
The interesting thing I wanted to show
0:43
you, however, right next to the armory,
0:47
is this. This is essentially a vending
0:50
machine for cars. kind of like a gumball
0:53
machine, but slightly
0:57
more expensive.
1:00
I'm kind of confused by the way it
1:01
works, but the best I can figure is you
1:03
pre-order the vehicle after it's paid
1:05
for, you go inside, they give you a
1:07
special coin, and the car that you
1:09
ordered slides down the rails and is
1:13
spit out of one of those doors.
1:17
Bizarre. What will they think of next?
1:20
Oh,
1:22
what will they think of next? Hey,
1:24
Daddy. Can I have some change for the
1:26
vending machine? Sure. What you going to
1:28
buy? A new car. Going to check out Lane
1:32
Motor Museum. Unique cars from A to Z.
1:36
And I see you hiding back there. I see
1:38
you hiding back there dancing.
1:39
Inflatable guy. This looks like a
1:41
mailbox. I don't think it is a mailbox,
1:42
but it's a mailbox. Is it a mailbox? I
1:44
think so. Looks like a mailbox. By the
1:47
way, Tom's here, aka Dr. Falcon. Okay,
1:51
first impression of walking in here.
1:54
Pretty incredible. Wow, look at there's
1:57
a vast majority of cars I've never even
2:01
seen before.
2:07
Well, think you got a small engine in
2:07
your motor home. Oh, the engine's in the
2:09
back. Yeah. Instead of the front. Yeah,
2:11
it was a Volkswagen fighter. They sent
2:13
it over here to do competition with
2:14
Volkswagen bugs and uh it didn't do as
2:19
well as the bugs. Well, the thing about
2:21
them was they just weren't really
2:24
designed for the American roads. Even
2:27
though this looks like an airplane, it's
2:29
not an airplane. It was a car. They
2:30
actually drove that down the road. Could
2:33
you imagine driving in one of those and
2:34
just cruising down the highway?
2:38
It was airpropelled. This is a 1970. How
2:42
do you pronounce that? Okay, it's
2:44
Italian. So, ai auto binacha
2:48
banana.
2:49
Yeah, you you're guessing. You sound
2:50
like one of the minions. You're saying
2:52
bup.
2:53
That's kind of the way it goes is bup.
2:55
Definitely a lot more cars in here than
2:58
I was expecting. Now, does that mean
2:59
that it gets 35 miles per gallon or is
3:02
that the tag? Is that the tag?
3:06
I think it I think that's how many miles
3:09
per gallon they said it would be. So
3:11
they put it on the front of it. Well,
3:12
that's just So I could put See, my large
3:14
marge would have 2.7 miles per gallon on
3:17
the front of my I should get a license.
3:18
2.7 or 1.3 depending on conditions. I
3:21
don't think I'd fit in here either.
3:23
Maybe you could probably fit. You going
3:24
to try to fit in there? Are you actually
3:26
sitting in it?
3:33
That's a tight squeeze.
3:33
A very tight squeeze.
3:36
Well, I could get in, but uh it's like a
3:38
comfortable ride for you there. Very
3:40
comfortable. Look where this spare tire
3:41
is. Wa. Right there at your kneecaps.
3:45
This one has a safety rope almost like a
3:48
theme park q-ine rope. A rotary engine.
3:52
This this was the uh one of the
3:54
forebears of it. The first one of the
3:57
first cars to have a rotary engine.
3:58
Yeah. Yeah. So, this is not This is the
4:01
Audi. That's the Audi symbol, but this
4:05
is before Audi came around. This is one
4:07
of the originals and it's an auto union
4:11
before Germany went into the wall and
4:13
everything
4:15
and there was four different cars built
4:18
under the auto union name but this is
4:21
the forerunner of naughty. What would be
4:23
the significance of this tube here on
4:26
the side of the car? You have any idea
4:28
what the tube is for? Yes. That is kind
4:31
of like old style air conditioning. Air
4:34
goes in here, circulates a fan, and
4:38
blows it inside the car. Really? Yes,
4:41
sir. Yes, sir. Some of these.
4:43
Interesting. This is what is known as
4:45
the rocket car. Made in 1961. I would
4:48
have a hard time fitting in that as
4:50
well. This was your dream car back in
4:52
the day. Oh, I thought this was just sex
4:54
on wheels. Sex on wheels. That's what I
4:57
I haven't heard that terminology in
5:00
quite a while. I should trade I should
5:02
trade my RV in for this. So, this is a
5:03
1933
5:05
Dimaxion, but it's a replica. A replica.
5:09
Well, that stinks. I want the real
5:11
thing. Well, you're very needy. You're
5:14
very needy today. Wow. Look at this one.
5:16
Little smaller version. And check out
5:19
the windshield wipers here.
5:22
Yeah. What's left of them. And then the
5:24
wind. Someone has busted busted the
5:26
window. Plastic. Some of these vehicles
5:29
are rather
5:31
mindblowing. Definitely ones you don't
5:34
see cruising down the street in this day
5:37
and age. Now, technically, we're not
5:38
allowed to take that out on the open
5:40
road, but we can in a vicarious fashion
5:43
by getting our picture taken inside this
5:46
cutout. Going for a ride, just cruising
5:48
down the open road. They didn't have
5:51
interstates back then, though, did they?
5:53
They had McDonald's. They had
5:55
McDonald's. They did. Yeah.
5:58
There you go. Comfort. My favorite thing
6:00
about this model definitely are the
6:03
little tassels hanging from the roof. It
6:05
looks very aerodynamic, like it could
6:07
get good gas mileage. Maybe this might
6:10
be the original smart car. The the 1975
6:15
Yeah. L car. Yeah. What do you think?
6:18
This the original smart car. Let's just
6:20
say it was. Let's just say that it was.
6:24
Perhaps. Come on. Go with me on this.
6:26
Come on, be part of Be part of it. Say,
6:28
say this was the original It was It was
6:30
born during the time of our first energy
6:33
crisis, so to speak. So, it's the
6:35
original smart car. Well, that really
6:37
So, you're saying it's the original
6:38
smart car? It was the first uh It's the
6:40
original smart car. Green car. It's the
6:42
original smart car. You said it. Dr.
6:44
Falcon approves. You getting in the
6:45
smart car? Yeah. You getting in the
6:48
original smart car? Going to be very
6:49
smart. You're getting in the original
6:50
smart car, aren't you?
6:53
Are you getting any smarter?
6:56
No, I don't feel any smarter. How's it
6:58
feel to be in the original smart car?
7:01
Hey, it's new. It's only got 824 miles
7:04
on it. That's That's how smart it is.
7:06
Yeah. Yeah. Don't go anywhere. Uh-oh. I
7:08
see. I could have been wrong. Now, this
7:11
is saying that this might be the first
7:14
hybrid. Well, now, now there's
7:16
difference between a smart car and a
7:17
hybrid. There is. Yes. The smart car is
7:20
purely gasoline.
7:22
Okay. It's built by MercedesBenz. It's a
7:25
threecylinder engine, but it's only big
7:27
enough for two people. And this runs off
7:30
pedal power. This is kind of like
7:31
Flintstone style power engine. You get
7:35
down in here and you pedal and then the
7:37
engine kicks on. Wow. This is called a
7:40
Peel Trident. One of the smallest
7:43
vehicles I've probably ever seen. It
7:46
opens. Your ride is waiting. It opens in
7:49
the different fashion. Usually the door
7:51
opens this way. Rear to front. This
7:53
opens front to back. Very confusing.
7:55
I've noticed a theme here at this
7:57
museum. Most of the cars are tiny.
8:00
There's not a lot of large
8:04
vehicles here. I like how you attempt to
8:07
get in every one of them. Like that's
8:10
kind of like your goal today is to try
8:11
to fit in every one of these teeny tiny
8:13
cars. This why when my wife watches I
8:16
sound like Columbbo. I always talk about
8:17
my wife but nobody ever sees her. But
8:20
when my wife sees this tonight, she'll
8:22
say, "Yep, I told you you need to lose
8:24
weight."
8:32
He's seriously trying to get in every
8:32
single one of the This is his mission to
8:34
that.
8:35
Comfy in there.
8:38
Are you sold on it? No. Plenty of leg
8:40
room? No.
8:43
I'll still take my big Chrysler 34.
8:47
It's tiny. Yeah.
8:50
As much as you want to open that, we
8:52
were just I'm trembling. We were just
8:54
told by the owner that you're not
8:56
allowed to sit in any more vehicles. So,
8:58
as much as you want to get inside this,
9:00
you're sitting inside of teenytiny car
9:03
days are over. Yes. You thought it was
9:06
allowed, you thought wrong. Don't you
9:09
feel ashamed of yourself now? This small
9:11
airplane, the wings fold out and it can
9:14
be pulled by that Vespa. This is a 1951
9:18
Hoffman. Really like the design of this.
9:21
That is a very reflective vehicle.
9:24
Look at that thing. That's cool. It's a
9:26
very fancy bicycles. This one is
9:30
motorized. It has I guess you turn that
9:33
knob to crank it up. Yeah, it's
9:34
two-cylinder engine and
9:38
aerero thrust. Gives you a little extra
9:40
boost. I should You know what would be
9:42
great for this? If you were to take it
9:44
down like a really long slide, give it a
9:45
little extra boost. Were vehicles
9:47
smaller back then or us as a society?
9:50
Have we just gotten taller and bigger?
9:53
Oh, we've gotten taller and bigger. But
9:55
you got to remember most of these cars
9:56
are built overseas and they build them
9:58
smaller over there because of their tax
10:01
laws and tax codes at the time these
10:03
were built. The bigger the vehicle, the
10:05
more taxes you pay. This would be great
10:07
in the ice and snow, that's for sure. It
10:09
could just skid along the snow. And if
10:12
you don't want to paddle a canoe, you
10:14
can just opt for this one. This takes
10:15
all this takes all the work out of it.
10:18
Complete with the fine Persian rug. Oh
10:20
yeah, the rug and sweet little hangout
10:23
spot. If you make your way to the end of
10:24
this hallway,
10:26
there should be a door going outside to
10:28
the unique area according to the sign.
10:31
But there is no door. The sign is very
10:34
misleading. There is no exit. The only
10:37
thing I see out there is that massive
10:41
army vehicle, which is pretty unique,
10:44
but I don't think that's what that sign
10:46
applies to. This is called a man wheel.
10:50
It's very interesting. It's like you're
10:51
inside the tire itself. This is the type
10:55
of car that Lyndon Johnson was very fond
10:57
of and would take his house guests out
11:00
in the water and scare the snot out of
11:02
them because he thought they were going
11:03
to like go off-road and drowned when in
11:06
reality it works in the water and on
11:09
land. This old ambulance is pretty
11:10
awesome. You can get the perspective on
11:13
how small some of these cars are. Look
11:15
how teeny this one is. And this is a
11:17
modernday vehicle next to it. Cruising
11:21
along now in Dr. Falcon's car. And I
11:24
kind of wonder, can you actually see out
11:26
of that rearview mirror? No. Car side
11:28
mirror. If you'd reach out and pop it
11:30
back. All right. Okay. I'm going to say
11:32
side mirror. That's what I That's
11:34
better, right? Yes. Okay. Now, now we're
11:36
driving safely. Heading into downtown
11:38
Nashville. We racing this car right now.
11:41
We He just won. He won. Here's this art
11:44
project that I saw yesterday. Getting a
11:48
little bit better look at it.
11:50
Still not really 100% sure what those
11:53
are. Tips of arrows, maybe. Going to
11:55
grab some food from Logan's Roadhouse.
11:58
And they have peanuts, which I have
12:00
already started to delve into. You know,
12:03
some of them will ask you to throw the
12:06
shells on the ground, but some of them
12:08
won't. Here, they want you to put them
12:10
in the extra bucket and not put them on
12:12
the ground. Some piping hot bread. Is
12:14
this butter? Yeah. Is that butter? Yeah.
12:18
You sure that's butter? It's not sour
12:20
cream. I can't believe it's not.
12:23
I think maybe it is butter. Yeah, cuz
12:24
why would you put sour cream on bread?
12:26
Yes. I mean, I don't know. Sour cream on
12:28
bread wouldn't be too bad. Maybe. The
12:30
meals have arrived. I got some broccoli,
12:33
a steak with some little pieces of onion
12:35
on top, mashed potatoes. You got the
12:37
same thing. And you have some sort of Is
12:39
that what they call a rice peel off?
12:41
Yeah, I'm peeling my rice. What is a
12:43
peel rice peel off? What does that
12:44
exactly mean? It's rice with carrot bits
12:47
in it. I don't know. And we need some
12:49
more bread. They bring you bread, but
12:50
we've already devoured the bread. And
12:52
look at how many peanuts we ate, too.
12:54
Oh, man. Up close and personal with this
12:58
guy. Rarely am I able to be in close
13:03
proximity to one of these waving
13:07
waving tubes. Yes, waving tube. That was
13:11
an experience.
13:13
Thank you for that. You're welcome. I
13:15
got to say thank you for that. Oh,
13:16
you're welcome. Thanks for stopping.
13:19
Right over to the right here
13:22
in this patch of grass in front of this
13:25
apartment complex
13:27
is a very interesting structure,
13:31
a statue
13:38
placed on the premises. For what reason?
13:38
I don't know if anyone is for certain.
13:43
There's a guitar, a melted guitar,
13:48
and other instruments placed
13:51
all along.
14:01
Nashville. Looks pretty dang cool at
14:01
night. All lit up like that.
14:05
Very beautiful.
14:08
Who's this next to me? Someone pulled up
14:11
next to my RV.
14:14
I don't know
14:16
who is that. Can I help you, sir? You
14:17
look like a very I would really like to
14:20
fart. Like all over you. You would like
14:24
show you lots of fart. Like more fart
14:28
than you have ever had. Now wait, I'm
14:30

14:32

14:33
I'm going to fart all over you. Okay.
14:35
Okay, I'm leaving Large Marge behind and
14:39
the safety of Walmart. I don't know why
14:41
I'm doing this, but I'm hitching a ride
14:44
with you. You're going to fart around? I
14:47
fart. I don't know what I what's in
14:49

14:51
around thing is, but it's fun art. Fun.
14:54
Okay, now fun art. So, you got rid of
14:57
the UN and just did the F. Yeah, cuz my
15:00

15:03
Um. Oh, it's cuz I don't have my seatelt

15:07

15:08
further. Let me put my seat belt on.
15:10
Going to the what do you call it? The
15:12
fart fart studio. The fart stu the fart
15:15
fart studio. Am I going to be safe
15:17
there? Yes. It sounds It sounds like
15:21
named Demon and a dog named Princess
15:22
Leia. How could you not be safe? I think
15:25
I want to hang out with Princess Leia. I
15:26
don't want to hang out with Demon. Well,
15:28
Demon's just a lovable husky. All right,
15:30
fair enough. He has like He has like
15:32
demon eyes, but it's only because I have

16:17
corner. Let me tell you something, Adam.
16:20
When the fart's going to fly, you got to
16:22
let it fly.
16:24
Oh, yeah. You started off as Macho Man,
16:27
and he kind of went like a little bit
16:28
different. You kind of like my Doc Brown
16:30

16:32
to me, right? Are you a choir boy or am
16:35
I a choir boy? I tell you what, Adam,
16:38

16:41
selling this fart work cuz it's pretty
16:43
cool stuff. I tell you what. Look at
16:45
that. St. Cloud little. That's you.
16:47
Yeah. See, so we lived in St. We didn't
16:50
know each other when I lived in St.
16:51
Cloud. Now we know each other. We were
16:53
at the band shell concert together back
16:55
in the early 90s. We were at the same B
16:58
concert. I may have gone to one of your
16:59
little league games. Who knows? At one
17:02
point. And this was the first painting
17:03
you ever made right there with the I
17:05
used to be cool sticker on top of it.
17:07
And this is Princess Leia. Princess
17:09
Leia.
17:11
There you are.
17:13
Yep. We see you there. You're in the
17:15
vlog now. Okay. Got camera shot. This is
17:17
one of my signature
17:19
abstracts I'm going to make a mosaic of
17:21
when I finally get a drone like the
17:24
Majestic. Right now, the wretched isn't
17:26
good enough. The wretched. Yeah, that's
17:28
what ours is called. Y'all remember the
17:30
trolls that always said, "Hey, you ate
17:31
too many chips." I remember Flash
17:34
Gordon. Don't forget Flash.
17:43
Haven't you ever seen a British redneck
17:44
before? Like, yeah, I'm just in
17:46
Enderville. It doesn't mean I'm not like
17:48
a scouser. And you'll have to use your
17:51
Columbia research skills to find out
17:53
what a scouser is. Like cheers. What are
17:56
you holding? Joyce of a Jeffrey. But
17:59
Jeffrey is the painting. Did you paint
18:02
that? Yes. Nice. And who what what who
18:04
is it exactly? Who's Jeffrey? Jeffrey?
18:07
He's from Minecraft. I have I paint him
18:09
from my stuff. He's lost for some
18:12
reason, but he I paid him just because
18:16
he's my happiness. Yeah, it's good. Very
18:19
good. I like it. I know that right
18:22
there. Who you got here? This is my
18:24
nonfinish Yoshi. So, it's a work in
18:26
progress. Yeah. Look, I'm videobombing
18:28
Chris. This is Chris. That's nice
18:30
though. So, Yoshi is a character from
18:32
Nintendo, correct? Mhm. And which game
18:35
was he in? Uh, Super Mario Yoshi Island.
18:38
Just Mario. Just the regular straight up
18:41
old school Mario. Just any Mario. Look.
18:43
So, he needs to have eyes, right? Yeah.
18:45
So, right now he's eyeless. And what
18:46
else do you need to do to to finish him
18:47
up? I need to finish his um shell his
18:50
shell like his seat and then maybe redo
18:54
all the black line. That was pretty
18:55
cool. Great meeting him and meeting his
18:57
family and seeing his artwork and stuff.
19:01
Pretty nice guy. Wait a wait a second.
