The D-List: A Car Review with a Twist

Wee-woo, wee-woo! Don't miss out on this last chance to win an incredible 1988 BMW M3, complete with taxes and shipping included. This beauty was originally built for racing, offering classic BMW performance and precision that will leave you breathless.

Our team at The D-List has put our $500 Jetta to the test, courtesy of some questionable online car accessories we've purchased. Luckily, we've got a legal expert on speed dial – Jeremiah is here to help us figure out just how illegal these purchases were.

We're joined today by James and Jeremiah, and they'll be guiding you through this wild ride. Big ol' thanks to Omazefor sponsoring today's video.

As we discuss the finer points of car ownership and legality, the sound of a siren wails in the background – it's your last chance to enter our contest for this amazing 1988 BMW M3. Originally built to race, this machine offers an unparalleled driving experience that will leave even seasoned drivers green with envy.

I must admit, I've tried to get behind the wheel of a high-performance car before. Unfortunately, my attempts have been met with disappointment. Unless you're willing to take the law into your own hands – and we don't recommend that.

However, if you're looking for an alternative, be a good person and donate at omaze.com/DonutMedia. The best part of all this is that every donation supports an amazing cause: The Skate Park Project, founded by Tony Hawk himself.

In the meantime, let's take a closer look at our questionable online purchases. Wee-woo, wee-woo! It seems we've bought some car accessories that might just be illegal. Luckily, Jeremiah is here to help us figure out what's really going on – and how to avoid getting caught up in any more trouble.

So, buckle up and join us for this wild ride as we explore the world of car ownership, legality, and a little bit of fun. And remember – unless you steal a car from someone (which, trust me, is not worth it), be a good person and donate to The Skate Park Project. Omaze.com/DonutMedia has got your back!

I'm still here.But if you Google the mostillegal car accessories,this stuff is what you're gonna find.Well, Jeremiah, if I haveto go down with anybody,I'm glad it's you.Let's look at our first piece of evidence.Car 360 GPS camera laser police saferadar detector voice alert, $49.- It's an actual car?(both laughing)- It looks like a Lamborghini.You can tell this thing definitely works.Undetectable by currently availableradar detector detectors.(Jeremiah laughing)So unless they invent a newkind of stronger radar detector- detector,= we're money, baby!Car speed testing system.`I think that's Russian.(Jeremiah laughing)Ah. it's not a Lamborghini machine.- Aw.- Do not stare at the screenof the product for a long time.What?(ominous music)(laughing)- Now that's scary.- Do not place the product onthe dashboard for a long time?Do not take the product apart.What is in this product?(Jeremiah laughing)- But it can'tsit on the dash too.- Not too long.(banging on dashboard)That's a pretty good lay down.(radar playing melody)- Please fasten yoursafety belt. Highway mode.- Hell yeah.(dramatic music)(radar speaking instructions)- It's detecting it.(laughing)- Yeah. You just gotta be right there.- Well, hold on. Allright. So now we know.So let me get...(laughing)(radar voice speaking instructions)Heck yeah.- So yeah, dude.That thing, I mean, theoretically worked,- I detected a radar signal,which is what it said it did.- Let's see just how illegal they are.- Hey, it's Joe, the legal beagle here.Woof woof!(laughing)I'm gonna be honest with you.I'm not a real lawyer,but we talked with a real lawyerand this is what they saidabout the car accessoriesin this video, okay?This is not advice by the way. Not at all!in California, owning andusing a radar detectoris not illegal,but mounting the deviceon a windshield is illegaland could result in afine upwards of 500 bucks.But in some states like Virginia or DC,radar detectors are illegal and penaltiescould be even worse than that.So this is potentially pretty illegal,but now it's super duper illegal.Back to you, James.- So this next oneapparently is a three parter.Ooh, it's Amazon.(dramatic music)Ooh, these are illegal.These are illegal.Xprite 16 LED red blue windshield dashemergency strobe lights with suction cupsfor police law enforcement, POV vehicles.(laughing)- Ooh.- Trucks, rear deck hazard,warning flashing traffic light,other colors available.- Yeah but these are the red and blues.- These are the illegal ones.Second product.Oh, he got us like animpersonating a police officer kit.Seven siren sounds car siren speakercan make seven alarmloud and clear sounds.You got a PA system, car siren speaker,our built in public address system.You can talk to other peoplewith this mic in your car.Nice.- I guess.- You can also have ajoke with your friendsand they will not know who's talking.(Jeremiah laughing)- Is that for real what is says?- Yeah, man.- Okay, well, we're gonnahave to recreate that.- And then we have one more in our- kit of three- very illegal things to have.I can't imagine this stuffgetting more illegal than this,(dramatic music)(Jeremiah laughing)An NYP police departmentofficially licensed sticker decals.- I mean, come on, man.- Come on, Max.(both laughing)- Mm, that's a good box.It is. I don't want to rip it.(both laughing)Nice cord. Yeah.Good thing we have that splitter.I don't think this is fooling anybody.Especially since for somereason we got New York.It turned on.- Hello.- Whoa, it is loud.You could have a joke with your friend!At any distance!- Knock knock.(both laughing)Do you know who it is?- Okay, so I got to find a spot,because I already got lights up here.- Oh, heck yeah dude. Good pull.Oh, nice.- Thank you.Is there any volume adjustment?- I don't think so. Ithink it's all or nothing.(megaphone screeching and beeping)Can I ask you how fastI was going back there?Oh my God.- That's illegal, dude.- That's illegal.- That is illegal.(siren wailing)(both laughing)(siren wailing)(siren changing tones rapidly)- Okay. I have a feelingthat was probably enoughfor the neighbors.(Jeremiah laughing)And so to make it the piece de resistance,the thing that's reallygonna set it over the edge.Here you go.This car super illegal dude.- I mean, I'm not gonna lie.I really like that.Like the little kid in me wants toput that in my Lexus right now.- Again, we're doingthis in a parking lot.If you do that on the street,like there's something wrong with you.(Jeremiah laughing)You're a weirdo.- They're the most illegal thing on here.It does say move over.(both laughing)- Berp berp. Move over.- For the flashing lights,it's okay to have these ona car on private property,but running these onpublic roads could resultin several citations,including impersonatingan authorized emergency vehicle.Penalties include finesof upwards of 500 bucksas well as misdemeanoror even felony chargesif it's proven that you had intentto impersonate a police officer.That loud speaker? That'sdefinitely illegal.It includes a minimum fine of 650 bucks.The NYPD sticker is more of a gray zone.You could get in a ton of troubleif it's displayed in away to induce the beliefthat you are a cop.Back to you, James.- Hell yeah, dude. Thisis more Batman stuff.Show remote control retractablehide hidden flip car licenseplate flipper, go in.So this is like a licenseplate that you put onand you can flip andchange your license plate.- Yeah. Yeah.Really sweet.- This paired with the cop lights,paired with the intercom, it's like,why are you pretending to be this person?And why do you want tochange your license plate?You'll get in serious trouble for this.- Yeah.= I've been arrested fordefrauding the DMV before.- So. Listen to us,people who've gotten introuble by doing dumb things.Don't, don't do this.- All right. Let's throw this bad boy on.Okay, so this is nice.This already got alicense plate mounted upfrom Max's personal collection.Thank you, max. This one's from Utah.- Thanks Max.- You wanna do back or front?- Front.- Let's do front,so all the illegal stuff's on the front.Yeah.- I mean it's nice.Yeah, it's nice. Pretty nice piece.He was just like, "Yeah,yeah, looks nice."(both laughing)I've seen a lot of thoseand that's a nice one.Oh, we didn't plug it in.(laughing)Find the wire.This is kind of a rat's nest.Oh, we could use some TikTok hacks.Clean up this wiring.- Okay. So this is the fob.Okay.(fob beeping)(dramatic music)Sounds like it's working.What is this beep?Is that this?It certainly does beep morethan I think it should.- Oh, you're from Cali?Oh, I don't like Cali people.- Oh, that's cool man.Cause I just so happen to be from...Utah.- Oh, okay Utah.I lied. I like Cali people more.- What do youmean? I am from Cali dude.- All right, I kinda like this guy.- So I don't necessarily thinkthat this device is illegal.I think what it facilitates is illegal.So if you're at a car showand you have some likefake vanity plate andyou flip it, like, cool.That makes it easy. Nowit says like, "Spider Man"or something, you know?(Jeremiah laughing)That's like fine.I don't think the actualdevice is illegal.But if you are running a platethat is not the one that the DMV gave you,then that is very illegal.It's called defrauding the DMV.And it's a class A felony.I know that for a fact.- Don't ask him how.- Don't ask me how.- This might be the most illegalthing on the list so far.You could face felony fraud charges,including $10,000 in finesand three years in jail or prison.You pick. They let you pick.Again, not legal advice at all, okay?I just think you shouldknow this kind of stuff.- Okay, what do we got? Oh, Amazon.- So this is the PQIexhaust flame thrower,exhaust flame kit, carignition rev limiterand launch control fire control chip driftfire shooting exhaust.Any four cylinder, six cylinderand rotary motor engine.Sounds like if you'vegot a V8, you're screwed.You have multiple flameoptions, including stroke flame,connects to e-brakefor immediate response.So I honestly could see this working.Okay, so this guy, five stars.Mint.This thing works likeI have a 2000 Mustanghooked it up and it spitsnasty three foot flames,but you have to wire it rightand the instructions are pretty vague,but it absolutely work.Also, this doesn't work in first gear.I will update you guys with a video soon.I'll send the link here in a couple.- That's March 10th, 2020.- We're still waiting.- Michael Vasos. Junk.- Total piece of junk.- Wired it a hundred percent correctly.We don't know that.- And it caused yourcar to randomly stall?Doesn't sound like you did it correctly.Power builder PQI.- Rev one, rev two.- Gain.- Ooh.- You wire this into your ECU,and it messes with your ignition timing,which is not a thing I want to do.- No.- So we're gonna haveour shop manager, Adam,install it and see howmuch it doesn't work.- Back in the day. BR used to sell these.I still think they do forlike three, four, 500 bucks.And I went online trying tosee how to install this guy.I've never seen anybody good on this BMW.So we've got a very, verypoor Googled schematic.So we're about to find out...(ominous music)if this works or not.(car engine revvig)It started.- That's a good sign.- It'll cause your car to randomly stall.- If its, uh, gonna blow.- Spits nasty thee foot flames.(ominous music)- Three, two, one.(car engine revving)- Nope.- It shot juice.- How illegal do you think spitting flamesout of your exhaust is,scale of one to ten?- Well, if you have to cut the cat,that's illegal.- 100. In California it's illegal.Pretty illegal.Let's see what our expert has to say.- All right, I'm gonnalevel with you, all right?California is a bit morestrict than other stateswhen it comes to exhaustrelated modifications.And shooting flames out ofyour car is a pretty good wayto break a few laws if you ask me.Don't ask me, cause Ilegally cannot give advice.You could face up to $500 in finesand potentially get your car impounded.You don't want that! No one wants that!Back to you, James and Jeremiah.- Our last product isn'ttechnically illegal,but I do want to use our platformto try and convinceeveryone that it should be.Of course, I'm talking abouttruck nuts eight inch tallplastic colors truck nuts.Choose your color. We went with flesh.(Jeremiah laughing)How in the world is this allowed?Think about the children.This isn't like a caricature of testicles.This is an anatomically correct,oversized,veiny,flesh colored,giant (bleeping)that you hang off the back of your car.And I would like to get these outlawedin every single state.- Call your representatives.Let them know.- For the children.- Should we go ahead andpop these bad boys on?- Not even as a joke.(Jeremiah laughing)- You're not down to do it huh?- No.- You may be surprised to find outthat truck nuts are not illegal.Except in Florida.I feel like I would see themost truck nuts in Florida.Truck nuts have started endless debatesover freedom of speech and are easilythe most controversial item on this list.Look, I'm not a lawyer.Not at all! Not at all!This has been me, Joe, the legal beagle.Until next time, woof woof.(upbeat pop music)(car engine revving)- Thanks for watching this videoand everything else on donut.If you liked it, go aheadand hit that like button.You don't want to miss any more stuff.Hit that subscribe button.Jeremiah.
