**A Day in the Garage: A Look at Factor Meals**

As I sat in my garage, surrounded by tools and projects, I couldn't help but feel a sense of restlessness. The project car was still sitting idle, its engine silent and unmoving. But unlike me, it had fuel to burn, figuratively speaking. My own hunger pangs were starting to kick in, making me wonder what to eat next. Luckily, Factor Meals came to the rescue with their convenient and nutritious solution. With Factor Meals, meeting your nutrition goals is easier than ever, thanks to delivering fresh, never frozen meals right to your doorstep.

They're pre-prepared and ready to eat in 2 minutes, making them perfect for busy days like today. And with their commitment to providing high-quality meals, you can trust that you're getting the best.

**A Test Drive with James**

After grabbing a bite to eat, I met up with my friend James, who was taking his W463A G-Wagen out for a spin. I had to admit, I was a little surprised by the amount of noise it made as he took off. The double Wishbone front suspension gave the car a smooth ride on the road, but it was clear that this was no ordinary vehicle. James's enthusiasm for his car was infectious, and I couldn't help but be charmed by its design.

As we drove through the canyons, James pointed out the benefits of owning a G-Wagen. "It's like a Rolex," he said with a smile. "Not just because of the hype, but because it's actually very well-built." The car's military origins were on full display as we navigated the twisty roads.

**A Drag Race**

As we exited the canyons and made our way to the beach, James started revving up his engine and preparing for a drag race. I couldn't resist joining in on the fun, and before long, we were both floored out of the gate. The noise was deafening as we sped down the track, leaving all else behind.

As we coasted back to the starting line, James turned to me and said, "I love this car." I had to agree - it was clear that he had a special bond with his vehicle. But there's no way I could see myself driving one of these every day. It was like a fifth car, one that you'd take out for a spin on the weekends.

**A Celebration**

As we stood at the beach, surrounded by the sound of the waves and the sun shining down on us, it was clear that this moment was special. We were celebrating a milestone - 8 million subscribers to our channel. It's hard to believe how far we've come, but here we are.

To commemorate this occasion, we have an exclusive sticker available at donutmedia.com. For one week only, you can get your hands on these limited edition stickers and show off your support for our channel. So be sure to head over to donutmedia.com and grab yours before they're gone.

**Thanks and Goodbyes**

As the sun began to set on our beachside celebration, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment. We've come a long way since our humble beginnings, and it's all thanks to the support of our amazing community. Thank you to Brais for letting us borrow his G-Wagen, and to York Sand for his help. And of course, thank you to everyone who's been with us on this journey from day one.

We're shooting a video at the beach right now, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the camaraderie of our friends. It's moments like these that make all the hard work worth it. Thank you again for your support - we love you guys!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI am driving a new bris g800 wide star it's got a price tag of $453,000 but the luxurious perception of the modern G wagon was never a part of mercedes's plan so how did we go from this to this well today we're going to drive both sides of the G wagon spectrum and find out oh my God I feel old and poor so James I'm driving the 1980 Mercedes Ganda vagon aka the original G wagon this thing's got cloth seats rubber floor mats a four-speed transmission and not much else but I mean this is so cool I love it man like this is a machine yes very little Frills very utilitarian very German and very 1970s yes it's just really good at its job which is well right now going up a Dirt Road in calabas yeah clearly there's a huge difference between this and the G wagon that we know today later we'll take a drive through the Canyons with both these cars to see just how much of a difference there is but to understand how we got here from here we're going to have to go all the way back to the early 7s when Mercedes decided to partner with an Austrian outfit called sty diimler puke and formed the offroad vehicle company or galanda fazen gasel s we're just going to call it gfg and their goal with the company was to develop an off-road vehicle that could be fit for service for any military in the world get you out of any situation if you're under Fire but also be comfortable enough that someone could take it to the grocery store dude those are the kinds of boxes that I like to be ticked dude get me out of there and do it comfortably they started developing this car in 1972 in Austria and they tested the absolute crap out of it I mean there's some really great footage of gfg testing the prototypes it's so funny and like they're just jumping these things off of big dirt mounds and stuff it's just so in contrast to how G wagons are kind of seen and driven today in that extensive tesing they developed some pretty novel ideas for the time stuff like using coil springs for the solid axles instead of leaf springs and a selectable four-wheel drive system with a no slip differential the actual first prototype of this thing maybe unsurprisingly was built out of wood when you look at a G wagon you're like ah yeah yeah that makes sense totally how do you make curves I don't know I don't know dude I don't have that kind of saw so they developed this thing over seven years and finally in 1979 it launched it was pretty much an immediate Military and Commercial Success this thing feels like a tractor in the best way possible I don't mean that but as an insult at all like I feel confident in this thing I feel like like I can go over anything I want anyway I can't reiterate that enough yeah you can see the product of 7 years of testing over and over and over I mean I always think of G wagons as you know a luxury vehicle but when you tear away all that luxurious stuff you see the Purity and the simple Elegance of this machine and that is probably the reason that they went pretty much unchanged all the way until 2018 and still look the same yeah oh that is 800 horsepower noling 10 times what you got while we going the legal speed L this G wagon tuned by bris is the ultimate status symbol it's got a million bajillion horsepower it's covered in carbon fiber the clock is made by a watch company yeah it's got a speedometer in the back seat for the passengers just it's just everything this is what we think of when we think of a G wagon but it took Mercedes a very long time to get here yeah so in 1991 Mercedes introduces the w463 that is the second gen G wagon they add things like leather interior nice stereos a V8 from the S500 Hind s it the w463 really was the G wagon moving from a utility vehicle into a luxury vehicle yeah but surprisingly Mercedes actually didn't really want that to happen the G wagon was still a military vehicle in their eyes and they thought it'd be way too expensive to adapt it to American regulations so they just decided to be easier to start fresh and in 1997 they debuted the Mercedes GLE which kind of helped Kickstart the whole like sporty SUV Trend that we're still living through the GLE was a great car but the American Market wanted more and people were determined to drive G wagons with or without mercedes's help thanks largely to a company called Europa so Europa bought G wagons over in Germany imported them to the US and sold them themselves and they had to be legal in the US they had to do all this stuff they had to crash test G wagons they were so successful at this they got to a point where they earned like a small manufact urer designation in fact at one point Europa was responsible for 10% of all G500 sales in the world which is something that Mercedes could not ignore Mercedes finally caved in 2002 and brought the gwag to America and everyone wanted one yeah in spite of a market flooded with super practical SUVs that actually drove like cars Americans were still super hyped on the G wagon and I think it's it's around this time period when the G wagon really becomes a household name in the US and that period is the reason that this car exists today but what is it like to drive this thing and more importantly how different is the Driving Experience from the old original G wagon well to figure that out we're going to head to the canyons and put these things through their Paces at least as much as is responsible for two extremely valuable cars working in the garage can also work up an appetite but unlike the project car I don't have the fuel to figure out what to eat luckily there's today's sponsor factor factor makes meeting your nutrition goals easier than ever by delivering fresh never Frozen dietician approved meals right to your door

double Wishbone so now it drives just like a regular SUV new cars are good we have a tunnel here James is definitely going to gun it James that sounded so sick I got to admit I was a little surprised by the amount of noise that it did make I mean this might be the best car I've ever driven honestly I feel the same way about mine too well one of us is right I mean my truck is really slow and doesn't have AC but I really love it I really love your truck too I think it's cute but there is no way that you can drive that thing every day yeah this is a really good like fifth car yeah like that's a car that you teach your oldest kid to drive stick on for the first time over summer break if you can get ahead of that semi we should do a drag race oh oh sh I'm Full Throttle right now damn dude I let you started a roll and I went from a dig like I was standing still dude I've been driving this one all day I was really Charmed by it at first but the lack of acceleration in this thing is starting to become kind of annoying James I think the G wagon is kind of like a Rolex right I agree but go on it's like originally was kind of designed for military use it proved itself on the battlefield and then uh became very desirable because of that yeah just like a Rolex it's a really expensive thing but it's not just expensive for the hype it's expensive because it's actually very very very well built well Nolan we're finally through the canyons and we are at the beach someplace that I think you're more at home so we asked at the top how did this thing become that thing I think the G wagon is a perfect example of what happens when you get it right the first time if you don't have to fix anything you can just keep making it better and better and better so now you have a twin turbo V8 with 800 horsepower that you can shift manually and take Offroad it really is the perfect vehicle thank you so much to brais for letting us borrow that monster Thank You Blake at found objects for letting us borrow this guy right here I love it so much and thank you York sand for your help uh check out his book all about G wagons it's awesome thank you guys for watching our videos
