Well unfortunately the weather today in Utah is an absolute disaster but luckily we're
headed off to Las Vegas, Nevada.
We got a big time update on the twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo that should fit smooth
as butter.
One, two, and!
I brought Sophia here all the way from Canada to escape the wind, snow, sleet, rain, etc.
etc.
Are you okay?
You look so sad and downtrodden!
I'm wearing sunshine!
We're going to Vegas!
It's 75 and sunny in Vegas, we're good!
Well this is exactly why I bought the Lamborghini Huracan Strada because all winter we can rock
and roll.
We can go anywhere in this thing because we have a two inch lift effectively.
Well we're headed off to Royalty Exotic Cars Las Vegas, Nevada, 5 hours and 35 minutes.
You might remember back in July we shipped the Gallardo down to Houston.
He's going to help sort out the twin turbo Gallardo fiasco I guess.
Well we finally figured out exactly what is wrong with the car and we're going to go see
exactly what it is.
And you were yawning in the last clip!
I didn't know you could see my face!
You were yawning!
Wow Sophia, Miss Diva, with your puffy jacket, your sweats, yawning like crazy.
It's raining!
It's like 2.30pm!
Delete it!
No, no, no!
That's the intro!
That is 100% the intro.
Sophia is tired at 2.30pm.
Are my videos that boring now?
No!
Oh my god.
When's the video going to be over?
I've been doing a lot of back and forth.
I used to own a Lamborghini Urus and obviously I sold it.
I had the old Post Malone one.
This is a Urus Performante.
The color actually matches the environment very nicely today.
Now this vehicle weighs over 6,000 pounds.
As you guys know, Section 179 sees those vehicles very, very favorably.
Also, Audi S3.
Looking pretty cool.
I like the tire stickers.
Those are sick.
After I got audited, all I can think about is Section 179 bonus depreciation.
I'm such a nerd, but I can't stop thinking about it.
Sophia, a Urus, Section 179, I'm just saying it's a Lamborghini.
It weighs over 6,000 pounds.
Do we add another Urus to the collection?
A wide body one.
Now yes, we are heading to Vegas, but I looked up at the mountains and it's just too good.
The first proper snowfall of the season.
We're sitting at 38.3 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is going to be chilly.
We're going to try to find an open parking lot and do some illegal nonsense.
You know what I'm saying?
You know the drill, Soph.
Me?
You're up.
Yes.
If I get in trouble, you are driving.
No, I'm not going to get in trouble.
You're not going to get in trouble, okay?
You're not going to be deported back to Canada.
I promise you.
Those guys are staring at us.
We'll go fast.
The Verde scandal in the snow looks so crazy.
This spec, 10 of 10.
We definitely...
Oh, winter is deafening.
Keep going.
Soph is maximum.
You guys know the drill.
Have your fun and then get out of the country.
Hot diggity dog, it's time to get lost.
First good snow sesh, though, not bad.
This Storado definitely could use a little bit more ground clearance and this ski, you
got to keep getting.
This Storado is quickly turning into my favorite car.
We definitely got to get some awesome photos of it right here.
Little Cottonwood Canyon.
That is so sick.
I think I like this photo the best, though.
We're going to post this on Verra right now.
He is trying to flip a U-turn in another road.
I feel like the snow plow is going to beat the Storado.
Just post it on Verro, though.
I tell you what, the Verde scandal in the snow is so crazy and yes, today's video has
been sponsored by Verro.
Is he going to make it?
Oh, he's a professional.
Well, I know a lot of you guys have been wondering who won the Verro giveaways.
We had the US Canada giveaway.
We had the international giveaway.
Well, massive shout out.
Congratulations to David, aka Pillsbury Lifter Boy from New York, New York.
He has won the US Canada giveaway.
He gets to pick any car in my car collection.
I'm going to ship the car to him in New York City and take him for a ride.
All he had to do was give me a follow on Verro and comment and like on a photo.
We had the five international giveaways.
You can see the names right there.
We had a winner from Croatia, from Egypt, from Iceland, and all of them won one of these
photos of the alpacas with the Lamborghinis.
Massive shout out to the six winners.
We're going to be doing a whole lot more giveaways on Verro.
We have over, almost, we have almost, soon to be 110,000 followers on Verro.
Now, as soon as this video goes live, I'm going to be dropping some very cool behind
the scenes, exclusive photos on my Verro.
The BMW M2.
I don't have the wide body kit.
I've selected the wide body kit.
The wide body kit is on route.
It's going to be here very, very soon.
I'm going to drop some photos of the kit on the BMW M2.
You guys cannot wait to see it, and then also the Indy car.
So, Sophia and I took the Indy car off to Dave's Paint Shop back in August or September.
It is looking out of this world crazy, and here's where you guys come in.
We're going to choose four winners.
Now, the four winners, they get to put their name on the Indy car that's going to go on
my wall that's going to be there basically as long as I live in that house.
Now, maybe you want your signature or a nickname.
It is going to go on the Indy car.
Four winners.
It doesn't matter where you live.
You can live in the United States, in Canada, anywhere in the world you are eligible.
All you got to do is leave a like and a comment on the photo of the Indy car painted that
I'm going to drop on Verro as soon as this video goes live.
Now, I've been posting on Verro for about the last 18 months, and it's been so much
fun to see the car community blow up.
We've done so many different giveaways.
You guys picked the A12 kit, the Duke Dynamics kit for the A12 build, and if we continue
to scroll down, we're going to find Sophia breaking the law.
Not only in the United States, but also in Canada.
Your first donuts, you broke the law in the United States today, and here you are in Canada.
Once a delinquent, always a delinquent.
Check out the link in the description below.
Join me on Verro.
Remember, four winners are going to get their signature on the Indy car that's going to
be in my living room for perpetuity.

Join me on Verro.
Well, kind of a little bit unfortunate.
We went the wrong direction to find the snowfall.
It is now 5 hours and 54 minutes to Vegas.
You're definitely going to fall asleep.
I can tell.
I'm so ready for an Alfredo.
That means yours truly.
I got a six hour road trip with Sophia snoring like a freight train.
This is a joke.
I said I snore.
You don't snore.
I don't snore.
No, no, no, no, no.
She does not snore.
Actually, she's legit.
Legit.
Sophia does not snore.
I probably do snore.
You don't snore.
Not a snorer.
I think we definitely got to do some more road trips with this car very, very, very
soon.
We drove this thing across Canada in December.
Maybe Alaska?
Well, it's definitely not a race to Vegas, but the faster we get there, the more sleep
we get.
Oh, goodness.
That double clutch is so good.
And we have traffic, so not much sleep, so no sleeping.
Well, you know you're in Las Vegas when you see this Rolls Royce Cullinan.
I have never seen anything quite as ridiculous as that.
My camera cannot even capture it.
It almost looks like a vehicle you'd see in Scooby Doo on Channel 2.
Doesn't it?
It's actually crazy.
And, of course, instead of the Spirit of Ecstasy, we have the Skull and Bones, perhaps.
I'm not entirely sure.
Craziest customized Rolls Royce Cullinan I have ever seen in my life.
I wish you guys were standing here in person to actually see it, because the color shift
is just crazy in the direct sunlight.
I mean, some people love it, some people hate it, but they always say, what color is your
Rolls Royce Cullinan?
Or should I say colors?
I think one of the funniest parts about driving a Lamborghini Huracan in Vegas is that everybody
thinks it's a rental, because the rentals are everywhere.
Blue Cephas, we have a Viola Bass Huracan as well, Polarization on point, Lyft is up
on that.
I love the color of that McLaren GT as well.
Once again, case in point, every single place we turn, we see bright colored Lamborghinis.
Purple, we got a GT3 and a 720S.
Well, and easy as that, welcome back to Houston Crosta and Royalty Exotic Cars.
You just never know what you're going to see when you get to Houston and Royalty Exotics.
We got half a Testarossa, we got an STO without a wing, purple interior, we got another Murcielago,
we got a Gallardo.
What was that?
That's all the Testarossa.
Oh, that's full Testarossa.
It's just in two places.
So half the Testarossa is over there, the other half is over there.
This thing is crazy, one of my favorite interiors, the full purple Alcantara, that is wicked.
The number of projects going on here, I don't even know how you keep track of all the nonsense.
You're like a guy at a pond with 20 fishing lines all in the pond, and you're just running,
trying to catch each fish all over the place.
How do you keep track of it?
Well, as long as I'm catching them, it doesn't matter, right?
That's true, that's true, that's true.
Speaking of one of the fish, ladies and gentlemen, we got a no turbo Lamborghini Gallardo.
That's right, no turbos.
We are converting this car back to stock.
We took the turbo kit off, and when I say we, Houston did.
Technically here.
Okay, technically, yes, yes, yes.
So yes, here she is.
Wow, are you having some fun?
It's a good day.
Say what you just said verbatim, word for word, take two.
I don't know if I should.
No, you definitely should.
This is the disclaimer, ladies and gentlemen, the disclaimer.
There is a chance, an absolute chance of like, let's just call it 50-50, that this motor
is going to explode.
Okay.
Hey, I like my odds.
We're in Vegas.
50-50 odds in Vegas is not bad.
My theory is that if the motor explodes, and you're in the car when it happens, and the
camera's around, it's like a free motor.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
I don't know if the ad revenue is quite that high, but you're making a good point.
Always have the cameras running.
Yeah.
Probably have a fire extinguisher on hand as well.
What I was thinking was, is just have a natural GoPro here, and whenever you drive this car,
just click on.
You're going to catch it in action.
Okay, there we go.
Ladies and gentlemen.
You'll have a whole video of an entire five-liter Gallardo engine blowing rods off the side
That's proper content.
Oh, oh, so we're talking catastrophic failure.
I'm 100% sure it's either going to be catastrophic.
Wait, you said 50%.
Now we're at 100%?
I haven't finished.
I'm 100% sure it's going to be catastrophic, or it'll never have a problem.
Okay.
You have two sides.
I like those odds.
Okay.
It's either one or the other.
I'm a lucky person.
That's it.
Win in Vegas.
We're going to try to explain what was wrong with the turbo kit on my car using another
turbo kit.
So there's not the turbo kit on my car.
There's not the intercooler from my car as I step over all this valuable equipment.
This happens to just be on the table, right?
And I don't know if you guys can see, but you see there's a box in here, right?
And that's where the cooling happens.
So the air goes here, the water comes in and out, right?
Yes.
Now, if the air and the water here mix, water's going to go into the engine.
This is the throttle body.
Right.
Your car had multiple issues.
One of the bigger ones is it was spraying water into the engine, which was mixing with
the oil leaks that you had being pumped through the exhaust gas system.
There's what's called like a catch can, right?
Right.
It's a very simple term where it catches the excess pressure and usually there's oil there.
The turbo kit was utilizing the exhaust gas recirculation system, which recirculates the
exhaust gases back into your intake.
You use the oil to do that as well.
So you have water and oil going right back into your intake, which was mixing and causing
quite a bit of an issue.
And it was really unfixable besides like getting a new kit.
Right.
Of course.
And the thing is, the new kit is going to be another $50,000.
I already put $50,000 in, so at the end of the day, just convert it back to stock.
It's worth more as a stock manual Gallardo.
It's probably worth at least 20% more.
For sure.
To the right buyer.
That's fine.
But Gallardos with the turbo kits are typically not reliable.
When you sell that car, everybody knows it breaks a lot.
So you have to convince someone that it's not going to break on you and it'll break
on the next guy that you sell it to.
But I'm never going to sell that car.
That's the thing.
It's the OG Gallardo.
I've had that car since 2016.
I'm never going to sell it.
So it's just going to break over and over and over and over again.
On you.
And I can get a twin turbo Huracan.
If I want to do big power, just do it on a Huracan.
Don't do it on a five liter Gallardo or you could do it on the LP Gallardo, which has
a Huracan motor.
Of course.
Yes.
That'll never break.
As you saw the green one that you drove in last time you were here.
Oh my gosh.
Yep.
That's 1500 horsepower.
It's pretty fun.
Exactly.
I don't know how well you guys can see this, but look at the puddle of oil just sitting
there in the intake.
You see that?
So obviously when you guys got this car, you found that there was compression, normal compression
in all the cylinders, but one, and then one of the cylinders had a puddle of oil.
All the soldiers had oil.
One just had so much oil that it changed the compression oil.
We still have the built motor.
We got the built trans.
We don't have a turbo kit either.
So we're going to have a little bit of horsepower loss.
I think it'll be like 20 horsepower.
Okay.
Whatever.
Well, Sophia's giving you strict orders.
You got to be very safe with me.
Okay.
Supercharged Huracan, the DDE car.
Basically, I'm only doing this so you can give me a free shout out to let everybody
know they come rent this thing too.
Or you just shout it out yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, come see you and come rent out the DDE supercharged super Trofeo
Huracan.
Is that the official name?
The Ken Block 43 car?
It's the Ken Block 43 car.
That's what Damon called it.
Maybe a good idea.
Maybe not a good idea.
Definitely not a good idea.
I should probably not be riding in this car, but they can drive the car.
They don't have to ride with you, sin.
They get to drive it.
A hundred percent.
I'm kind of one of those guys that when you get in the car, I'm at 10, 10 all the time.
Sometimes 11 out of 10.
So it's a really-
11 out of 10?
Yeah, you know-
Wait, from an odd standpoint, probability.
The Gallardo engine's 50-50 blowing up.
What are the chances that we crash and die today?
Like 5%.
Oh, okay.
That's not bad.
Now I take those odds.
We're in Vegas, baby.
That's not bad odds.
Full startup.
Huracan.
Yes, sir.
That's not bad.
That's not bad at all.
I just noticed that it appears that the hood is open and then Houston just pointed out
it doesn't have a hood.
It doesn't have a hood.
Also, do I supercharge my Huracan Strato?
We're about to find out momentarily.
This thing sounds crap really good.
Oh my gosh.
That supercharger line's not bad.
She ain't warmed up yet either.
Okay.
It's cooler.
Oh yeah, it's way cooler.
It's way cooler.
It's like a ship with your arm, you know?
Like-
Even though it's the exact same thing as the Battles, it feels cooler.
You feel like you're a professional rally driver.
I feel like I'm living in a DDE video.
This could be you guys.
Come see Houston at Royalty Exotics and you can feel like Damon Fryer at DDE.
The only difference is, is you really shouldn't drive it like myself or Damon or you.
No, absolutely not.
No, no.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm a good driver.
I'm a safe driver.
Do not put me in the same conversation.
I am not in the same conversation as Houston Cross and Damon Fryer.
Damon, I love you.
Houston, you already know how I feel.
I am not like that, but I wish I was.
I wish I could drive like you guys.
You could be.
I could be.
I put it in the wall.
Oh my God.
All right.
You told Sophia we were not going to drive like that.
Okay, we're headed back to Royalty.
This thing is sick.
Oh goodness.
Oh ----.
Shit.
Oh my God.
The vegetable oil on the streets of Las Vegas.
We are just slipping and sliding everywhere.
This thing is ridiculous.
Yes.
Definitely, if they rent this car, don't drive it like you.
You're a terrible influence for all your customers.
I know, and that's why I shouldn't have bought this car.
That's why you got to get rid of this thing.
I shouldn't have bought this car.
One time, one customer takes this thing, they're going to put it into a wall.
Well, SEMA show's coming up, and we're on.
That's right.
Okay, so it's going to happen.
Are you predicting the future?
Oh, I got the odds.
100% sure this car is not available after SEMA.
Oh my God.
Ouch.
I just took a cat right in the forehead.
Wow.
The Vegas streets are so greasy.
They are very greasy.
This thing, 1,000 horsepower, rear wheel drive, is just slipping and sliding, but man, it's
used to gross stuff.
Let me tell you.
I took out a couple other cars the other day, and one of them has 1,360 horsepower, and
wow.
I wonder what car has 1,360 horsepower.
It was 1,360 horsepower.
That would slip your imagination.
This way, and this way, and then back this way, and then back this way, and then back
this way, and then my stomach was not in the car anymore.
When I brought the Veyron here, and you did the Rift Exhaust, remember that?
It felt like my car had 200 more horsepower here in Vegas, because the streets are so
greasy.
You're also lower elevation as well, but because you're slipping and sliding so much.
Dude, if you can control Vegas, you can drive anywhere.
You can drive anywhere.
Well, another crazy, crazy day here at Royalty Exotic Cars.
We are now headed back to Utah.
That supercharged DDE Huracan is absolutely wild, but as I was trying to say, because
my car has the Evo screen right here, it would be very, very difficult to actually
add a sequential.
However, the VF Engineering supercharged, about 8,900 horsepower.
The car is so usable, bulletproof.
I think we definitely got to do that.
I think a twin turbo would be cool, but it's like a one-trick pony.
It can only go fast in a straight line.
I've also had a lot of bad luck on twin turbos, so I think we supercharged this car off.
An MAP10 is crazy, but it doesn't quite hit the same.
However, you can still feel the grime and the grease of Las Vegas.
It's insane.
This car in Utah, there is no slippage whatsoever.
Well, I want to try to summarize the Gallardo and what's actually going on.
I dropped off the car to Houston.
We thought the motor was bad and the turbo system was good.
Upon further evaluation, Houston discovered the motor is totally fine.
The turbo system, we basically just scrapped the entire thing.
We looked into buying another turbo system for the car.
We're looking at another 30, 40, 50 grand at this point.
It's just not worth it.
I just want the car back.
I just want to drive the car.
Remember, it's the OG Gallardo.
I bought that car in 2016, 9,000 miles on it.
By 2019, it had 50,000 miles on the car.
I drove it everywhere.
Today, almost five, six years later, it still has 50,000 miles on the car.
Yes, the twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo, the dream is dead.
We're going back to stock.
As far as a timeline, a time frame, assuming Houston doesn't run into any more issues,
I'm guessing we have the car back sometime in November, December, by the end of the year.
Many, many, many, many hours later, we've made it back here to Utah.
I'm absolutely exhausted.
It is 2.30 AM, but we made it.
The Lamborghini Gallardo, the twin turbo, I guess it's no longer the twin turbo, kind
of sort of weird.
It is no longer the twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo.
I cannot thank Houston enough.
I cannot wait to get that car back, kind of sort of just like come full circle in that
project, move on with life, drive that car again.
It's going to be amazing.
We also have an update on the A12 Superfast.
We've got the doors, we've got the V12 over there.
We really haven't had an update on that car in forever because there really hasn't been
an update.
I'm hoping we have good news on that car very, very soon.
I would love, by the end of the year, to have the Gallardo back and the A12 put back together.
That would be a very successful end of the year.
On that bombshell, today's video is over.
