Math Teacher gonna make trick questions like "How many pistons are in an RX7"
lol

two doritos!!!
Do the pistons in the brake system count;
My answer: A^2 + B^2 = C^2 (If you don’t get it, look up Pythagorean Theorem lol)

Actual goal of mine.
its the cool teacher in the school
@@user-sp2tm2iz9l *ooo cocaine*
Bro imagine being this guy's student. I would be so proud.
My friend who lives a few states over from me said “my teacher got an rx7 from his friend and started building it to look really cool” so idk if it’s the same guy but maybe
Can we get Aaron his own segment on Donut? The dude is so genuine as a person and enthusiast alike. I think (I believe most fans would agree) he'd be a great addition to the regular schedule.
hes a fuck ton better than this obnoxious douche
@@dirtrider88 that's his character for the channel nigga
Maybe he can focus on rotaries
I agree. He is such a fantastic person.
He's even in Netflix's hyperdrive
James's laugh when revving the Mazda made my day.
it was like the first time my FC brapped :)
@@dubbleA100 So I guess you could relate, right?
@@skyline2601 yup
"a math teacher" "build his dream rx7" "keeping the rotary" what kind of pain he need more?
Brap Brap Stututu what?
Brap Brap Stututu mmm that’s a good name
@@josegodinez776 He means: -Being a teacher is a pain in the ass, being a mathematician and a teacher of math is a x2 double pain in the ass - Rx-7's are quite hard to work on due to their rotary engines that not so many people know how they work and are hard to master -He kept the rotary, which is as i said previously, a huge pain in the ass Brap Brap meant that this guy is very brave and extremely patient
_ Beferrr Oh I know that, i was just confused on how he typed it.

That guy who drove next to Aaron’s family 24 years ago with the RX-7: IM ABOUT TO START THIS MAN’S WHOLE CAREER
That moment at 10:30 ... That sound plus his expression... Probably my favourite moment in any Donut video. It bring me the purest of joy.
***Laughts silently in 13B***
James is kinda overreacting over the sound of a 1.3litre, twin turbo rotor engine. He looks quite fun(not in a good way) while starting the rotor.
2 years later and I still come back to listen to that start up with his reaction.
@@johndavidson3424 🤡

Looked way better when he bought it
aluwz, are you sure about that
Aaron Meyers stock bodies all the way clean and simple these 90s jdm cars looked great how they were only new cars need modifying because they look awful
I already loved him from HiLow. To hear his story and see how talented he is, now I just love him even more. Can we see as much of him as possible please?
He's a cool dude. He was one of the dudes I was rooting for on Over Drive.
He's one of the most enthusiastic reviewer on Donut media.
Brap-brap-brap-brap, I could listen to that engine idling all day. That’s like auditory nirvana.
Why is it so funny and exciting to watch someone else behave the same way you would.... but with fancy graphic overlays.
i’m watching this on my computer an my dad walked in an said “that’s a crazy looking viper” lmao
pls "educate" (not really) your dad . I taught my dad about some *legendary cars* and he seemed to like it .
It's Japan's Dorito powered Viper
Fricking boomer dads LMAOOO!
I mean @5:29 could be an ACR Viper... it’s not the worst choice on his part... hahahaha
Well, in his defense, this shit is soooooo fucking busy you have to squint for 20 seconds to see even see an FD there... with that livery looking like a bomb went off in the beverage section of a grocery store where a flock of Juggalos who just got off work at the nearest Auto Zone were shoplifting ALL the Monster energy drinks at once.
These 20sec after 10:30 made my week. Can't stop watching. Brings me near to tears to see someone so excited about something he/she loves so much. All the best for you guys. Love your channel ❤️
He used to be my neighbor! And I remember him working on his car in his garage all the time. Boy does time fly... You never know what your neighbors are up to! I don’t know him that well but he was always super cool. Great guy and I wish him the best!
Brap-brap-brap-brap, I could listen to that engine idling all day. That’s like auditory nirvana.
Dad: leaves me in the car Me as a 7 year old: 9:47
Where and when
This guy was a good driver, his only problem was directions
It's all about pressure. It's easy to view it from a couch and start calling "How can he go the wrong direction?!" Completely different story when you're attempting to do a course for the first time ever you've never seen before. All the while being recorded for viewing for the general public...
Chris Juarez I do not disagree at all
Lemme leave it at 69 likes
I'm not sure Why 😂😂🤘
@@kibetbera9194 nope
I felt bad for this dude on hyperdrive...he got in his head the first race and never recovered
Star Farts still stayed the whole show though
I fanboyed so hard when I saw Bisi with that Fairlady
Klas Medak yeah i was hoping he was gonna bring out the 1000 hp odyssey
Just goes to show a driver needs to hone in his skills more than his mods. And that’s where a lot of jdm guys go wrong
He wrecked the thing
This “mod” is why i love Rotary engines. My god, every time i hear a Rotary I honestly want them even more than i did before. We need a Rotary revival
Aaron is honestly hands down my inspiration. my mates told me that making my teggy RWD is a waste of money. but I keep saying, if aaron can build his own RX7 without any knowledge, so can I!
10:30 - 10:50 20seconds of melody
A truly happy man
His face had me rolling
That’s joy in its purest form
Truly beautiful
Y e s m e l o d y
I was his student 10 years ago. Aaron is one of the sweetest smartest people I’ve ever met. It’s so crazy seeing him thrive and living out his dream. Congratulations.
I love how happy James looks at 10:33 when he starts it up... pure joy
One of the most important lines of this video, "Build your car so it makes power reliably, not right at the edge of destruction" Great car, loved watching you perform on Hyperdrive and thanks to Donut for sharing more of his story with us!
4:57 did you just awaken davie 504?
how and why are you here lol. your godly presence is needed for your memes and forza 4
How did i miss you lol
Lmao dude😂
Very few people would get this joke.
Slap like now
That transition at 4:40 was legendary.
rotaries have always been the pinnacle of engines in my mind because they always held potential, but no one really knew how to get that potential out. so many rotaries were thrown out for conventional engines, but seeing how this engine was built, with a specific purpose in mind and built perfectly for that purpose... this was a labor of love and is a masterpiece of gears and machinery... ...the Car Gods shall be pleased
My favorite moment in all of donut media... was the expression on his face when he started the car.
Too bad he lost Hyperdrive though. He was an amazing driver nonetheless.
The Mercedes guy pissed me off
He lost in the 4th qualifiers witch is sad because he had a great time
@@joseg.6856 the mercedes guy should have been disqualified
JGSM0K3 the german fk?
What
4:30 begins the magic of editing
“Aaron only works with the highest quality parts.” James: (kicks carbon fiber dash panel)
Came here looking for this lol
This was literally one of the best looking cars on hyperdrive. Wish he got farther in the show tbh
0:23 This teacher is a man of culture
Yeah, I noticed that and went to find if anyone else seen.
@@voixmin yeye
Therapist:Scary james isnt real he cant hurt you Scary james: 10:35
I have nothing but respect for people like this. We all have dream cars and unfortunately most of us will never be lucky enough to own them. Truly awesome to see someone not only get their dream car but also create something completely unique looking. I had a Rx7 years ago that a mate and I got hold of and all we did was work on it for months got it running and finally had some fun. It may have blown up a few months later due to a major miscalculation in terms of boost that destroyed the engine beyond our means to repair. total respect for you.
The part when the girls E30 dies in the show "hurt my soul" also when Parker smashes the FD into a pole i said i feel you haha
Shredder spinning out was an F too :^(
How can we not mention the charger's suspension collapsing on track
French dudes suspension failing was def the saddest part imo
ClutchkickPJ how about when the other French dude’s shifter just fell off
@@nvl2691 that was kinda funny
My Chem teacher is a car guy, I should persuade him to do a build XD
fuck can you trade it with our teacher
If he can get that stoichiometric ratio constantly just right, damn.
You have to get him to crash first
Beware there is a chance he will making crystal first for building the car
Supercars of SoCal Same here lol
I loved this guy in Hyperdrive. He's so humble and nice
6:04 yo that RTJ sticker on the door, I see you
It's been a whole year and I hadn't noticed it till now and went to check to comments to make sure I wasn't the only one, fuck yeah
That integra disINTEGRAted in the crash...

That brap...brap..brapp...brapp...brappp!
Thank you James for your first lines in this video being the first lines in my senior research paper that was due a week ago as I still procrastinate and watch your videos love you guys 😘
I’ve never seen James so happy to be in a car, that makes me happy 😊
What are the chances of you guys featuring Fielding Shredder's Nissan 240 SX? Seeing his car on Hyperdrive was awesome and he seems like a good character
Dude I wanna see the guy who was acting cocky and was saying shit like " I'm here to finish #1 " and then proceeded to hit literally every single obstacle on the course he could and then also hitting the light box thing which you'd have to be an absolute grandma to mess up and I remember I was laughing so hard that I had to rewind like half the episode because I couldn't stop laughing so hard I didn't hear what they were saying
@@befer the old dude with the corvette?
@@animeghoulz9760 HAHAHA YES THAT GUY " I'm here to win " and then proceeded to fuck up completely
that is the driver from hyperdrive i wanna see Arron was kinda trash on the show anyway
@brockly512 He has a channel too! Look him up, he’s drifted with Adam LZ he’s got some good content
I would rather get 100% on Maths and ask him for a ride on this FD!
I would almost rather fail math just to get to ride in his ride
His FD? You mean his Fat Dick
@@thugnificiant1324 You are now on the FBI watchlist
I was cheering that man on in this car the whole binge watch of season one of Hyperdrive man, Favorite car hands down!
10:30 the pure happiness on his face is contagious
Next time on bumper 2 bumper you should bring in the owner of the respective car & sort of "interview" him/her.

dude Aaron is one of my favorite people on this channel
3:33 props to whoever had this idea, it made me chuckle
I wish my math teacher was this COOL😂👌 love that RX-7 ❤
10:37 *Laughs in Rotary*
The legendary fart monster
Good for him. Teachers work so hard and it’s a thankless job.
Easily one of the Best ‘Bumper to Bumper’ Episodes. So many hilarious cameos

Love it haha
you just posted cringe bro gay
That mad Mike impersonation was hilarious 😂😂😂
We all saw those run the jewels vinyl, sick. The whole car is sick and i never knew about any of this before seeing Aaron on HiLow. Honestly gives Donut media more credit as a car channel by car guys. They seem to have some of the most genuine car people ever on here making quality content.
10:33 just how I laugh If exams are cancelled in my school
"She was a totaledd" Me: *tears up*

So how did a math teacher got 5 million dollars to build this?
He did the math, and found sponsors.
@@panzerveps how does one find sponsors?
@@Johngotowned it's all about the connections.
So how did u go on that English class
@@panzerveps Thats right. I literally eat the cheapest most nurishing food I can. Just to fund this dream.
You and your team are nuts but I love the channel!. Something about true love for vehicles, engines and mayhem all bound together into yummy goodness. Sharing knowledge about all things motor 👌🏼 thanks man🙏🏽
Aaron Parker my hands down on you cause you live up to your own dreams respect thanks!
Aaron lost because on the Donut Go Cart episode he didn’t know the most important rule to racing is Family
This is a good man for not ls swapping And keeping it as it should be
There is a reason why LS swaps are meta
@@kagenlim5271 why because its "bEtTeR AnD mOrE rELiAbLe"?
@@arutezza No, because It makes a ton of power easier than a 13b, not to mention being a more conventional design to work on
@@kagenlim5271 and it also defeats the point of having a rotary vehicle
@@arutezza But It is a more viable option than a 13b, which gets bad MPG and have a tendency to wear out faster. If yoy really want to perform, a 13b is not the way. Personally, Its more of a cruising engine than a competitive one, just because of Its durability being less better
the RX-7 is 1000% by far my favorite jdm car, and this one sounds so good!
Seeing how happy he got starting it made me happy.
Love to see how far this Channel has come. You guys inspired me to start my own channel. Nothing better than a cup of coffee and a fresh Donut video! 🤙🏼
Daniel Mraz I’m subscribed, I’d like to see you get far! Good luck!
Mineylonghead Thanks man I appreciate your support. Feel free to share the videos if you like them!
That rotary monster looks insane!
FD powah baby
you should get one!
Midnight Club Still Cancelled, Soz
no no no
No u look insane
I KNEW Aaron was a teacher! After how level-headed and encouraging he was being during Hi-Lo on the rock climb, I thought "yeah he's had to talk some kids through some tough problems before".
Dude! How I didn't see this earlier. I thought I had seen Aaron somewhere. So good to see you guys do bits on your team! That FD is bonkers and should be SEMA if not done already. Sick vide guys as always
When I first saw this car in Super Street I fell in love😍 this is the best RX-7
I just finished watching Hyper drive series. Awesome watch if you have Netflix.
so awesome
The Run the Jewels Logo, An instant favorite!!!
Great story telling man, Shoutouut to the Donut team
Loved watching Aaron on Hyperdrive, dude is MAD talented. I hope he comes back for season 2, I know with his technique he can win the whole thing, he just has to believe in himself because he really was the best technical drifter on the show. Respect 🙏
this car is the first car he aptly described as "lightning" 🤣 keep up the good work Donut! doing the most!⚡⚡⚡
His smile when starting the engine was priceless ❤🤘🏻 @DonutMedia
man these guys videos are only getter better and better
4:14 James: "How did we get here?" Me: Do you have 90 minutes?!?!?!?
ffs i was just watching jack
@donut's editor i love you for the lighting 4:50ish. was probably really annoying to edit but made that scene so much better!
4:48
Imagine seeing james for the first time live in the set while he is doing all the crazy stuff we love.
When Arron says "YES" IT CRACKED ME UP BOTH TIMES
9:47 youtube rewind 2019 effects
10:33 literally me when i get to see one of these
Aaron is honestly my new role models. Dude has the same attitude i have towards cars. If it ain't broke don't fix it if it is broke, go completely over kill and learn everything you need to know to do that.
The joy when he started it was contagious 😁
"He knew the rotary magic" is my new favorite phrase.
just watched hyperdrive, i recognised him from donut media :) nice runs man
The Mona Lisa of donut media team!!
I love the sound of the rx7's and the rx8's rotary engine sounds
Aaron has now actually been using the FD for Pro 2, at least for now as long as the rules aren't changed against him (requiring a Link ECU and H pattern stuff)
Big yikes
That's an amazing car. This was a very well done episode. Donut Media, is like a Hollywood production house. And with people like Aaron on your production team. You all certainly will be one day. Humphrey you really do perspire a lot. I didn't notice till Nolan mentioned it on a separate episode. I am excited now to see what the next "Wheel House" episode will be.
I love the editing on these videos
I’m gonna say it. Aaron’s car is insane. Aaron is insane. I love it
I finished Hyperdrive about two days ago and Aaron's car was actually my favorite he did a really good job (Tell him that)🙂
I wanna thank Donut Media for giving me the best reason to get Netflix!
omg james reaction when starting up the car was priceless!, he made the same faces ill do
8:59 those words are gonna give me motivation to continue with my school progress lol
