Introducing my BATCAVE Garage.

Well, we got some massive updates today on the underground Bat Cave Garage. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel and welcome back to the vlog. By the end of today's video, we're going to be at about 99% completion on the Bat Cave. We got more paint, we got more epoxy, more tile floors. We got a new brick wall and we're getting a whole lot more lighting. There is an outside chance by the end of today's video, the Koenigsegg might actually drop down into the cave. More to come. Let's head on down. You guys don't know how good the Monterey Blue looks underneath the sun. Just wait until you see her underneath the cave. If you guys remember, my house is shaped like a donut. So we can actually access the garage portion from the house portion via the underground tunnel. Now, the staircase on that side is getting brand new tile. So we actually have to access from this side, unzip this on up and to keep the dust on out, turn on the lights. Now, on this side of the house, we really don't have any updates. All the updates are on the Bat Cave. We kind of sort of focus construction on that side. This side, we're going to be spraying this here pretty soon. But the Bat Cave, by the end of today's video, electricians going to be here momentarily. We're going to be like ninety nine percent completion. To give you guys a quick refresher. This, of course, is the movie theater. And you will see there is officially a door to the Bat Cave. This is not the final door, by the way, is not the final end result. This is kind of a temporary solution. I'm going to have to use some leverage. And ladies and gentlemen, pop this baby open. You'll notice the floors are officially white. We have brand new epoxy floors. I can walk on it in my socks. We're not allowed to put any cars on it quite yet. Oh, my. The echo is crazy. Of course, we got light switch nation. Don't worry about it. Don't worry. This is not the final product. We really get to see this at the exact same time. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bat Cave. Oh, sweet. Hallelujah. White epoxy floors turned out so cool. The reflections, it has so much gloss that you'll see even the underside of the car elevator. So the car elevator is in the up position. So that all of this can dry. We're going to drop that down. Probably maybe later on in today's video, give or take. I'm not entirely sure. I don't know exactly when we can get cars down here. I'm just trying to be safe right now because the last thing I want to do is do the wrong thing. I know for certain I'm allowed to be in here in socks. But check this out. Electrician is going to be here in today's video to install all this track lighting, all that track lighting, the halo around the perimeter. It is so bright down here. It's really turned out incredible. You know, I had this vision, this image of what the Bat Cave was going to be someday, one day. It's not really dark like a Bat Cave, but it's underground, which is very cool. I wanted it to be bright because I want the cars to look absolutely incredible. And I really want to showcase the colors of the cars to the absolute max. Of course, over here is the staircase that goes up to the main floor garage. We cannot walk on it right now because you can see the black tiles being installed. We got the brand new red brick wall. You guys have not seen that either. We got the electrical run up there. We have a crazy photo of the carbon fiber events. But the goal over here is to have this dark, ominous staircase. And as you drop on down, then you just get engulfed by the bright lighting down here. And I think that goal has been achieved. So sick. The echo is a little bit disgusting right now. Hello. Hello. Hello. That's going to change once we get cars down here. It's going to be much better. I promise. I hope so. We went back and forth so many times. Do we do the white epoxy? Do we do the polished concrete? And I think the white epoxy was the right choice. I mean, just the reflections are so crazy. And once all the other lighting is installed here, like the waterfall effect, that reflection is going to be cast down on this white epoxy. And it's just going to make it like that much brighter. It feels bigger, more of a mirror finish. And I love that it reflects the light everywhere. Now, of course, we're still missing the baseboard that's going to be installed. That's really like the final step. You can see our EV charges right here for the future incoming inbound Lamborghini, Temerario and possibly Rojo Alto, Huevos Rojo Alto. Obviously, we have to have some kind of, you know, hybrid set up down here in the back cave. But we're going to have room down here for like seven cars. Like imagine the carbon Aventador and the pink Aventador down here. The Storado, the Murcielago, like the colors are just going to pop on camera. As I was saying, the electrician is going to be here in about 45 minutes, give or take, and they're going to start installing this track lighting. What that process is, how long that takes, I'm not entirely sure. By the end of today's video, we're going to have so much more lighting down here. It's really coming together. Let me know what you think in the comments below. White epoxy, was it the right move? I feel like it was. Also, I don't know if you guys can understand what I'm saying. The echo? Hello! Yeah, she bad. This hallway, though, is going to be crazy. Now, this little section here at some point is also going to be white tile. It'll kind of sort of blend into the epoxy as you enter in to the movie theater. Before the electrician gets here, we've got to find the keys to the Huracan Storato. Where did I put that? Um, hmm. Fluffa! Hey, bud! Hey, ask! I think if I... Yep, there they are. We have lots of big news regarding the Storato, the Huracan Storato. In Italian, Storato means dirt road. And that's very important. If for some reason this is your first time watching the channel, the Batcave, the car elevator, it's right sitting below us. Storato! You guys all know how much I love my Lamborghini Huracan Storato. Well, what if I told you guys one of you could win a Storato, but not this Storato, not this one, this one. That's right, baby. The Ridge is giving away this orange Lamborghini Huracan Storato. And the best part about it is you don't got to buy nothing. There's no entry fee. There's no purchase required. You can automatically get entered in to win this orange Lamborghini Huracan Storato. Just check out the link in the description below. But it gets even better. Maybe you're not a Lambo guy. Maybe you're a truck guy. Well, the Ridge also is giving away a truck. The winner gets to decide the Huracan Storato or the truck right on over there that I'm going to introduce to you momentarily. Or maybe you want $100,000 in cash. The winner gets to decide. Introducing the Hennessey Velociraptor. I forgot to mention there's actually going to be two winners, not just one winner. The first winner gets to pick between the Raptor, the Storato, the $100,000 after they've made their decision. The second winner gets to pick between the two remaining items. And as I mentioned before, there is no purchase required. But for every dollar you do spend at Ridge.com slash Stratman, you're going to gain an additional entry. So $1 equals one entry to win a Velociraptor, a Huracan Storato or $100,000 in cash. Two winners will be selected. Now, you guys don't know how much I love my Ridge Waltz.

Now, the giveaway runs through September 15th. Ridge.com slash Stradman. And of course, thank you to Ridge for sponsoring today's video. The spec on this Serato is so nice. It's actually Arancio Borealis, the same color as my 06 Skyrider, the OG. What a cool combination. The Arancio Borealis and the Verde Scandal. You can see, like I said, same color as the OG. I did confirm that the epoxy flooring is good to go as far as walking on it. Cars cannot be on there for 48 hours. Come on, bud. Yeah, let there be light. Well, the boys are officially firing on all cylinders right now. We got the perimeter lighting going on as well. I think I called that a circumference in the last video. I apologize for that. The perimeter that is going to cast the coolest halo glow around the entire side of the garage. We got the white outlets going on as well. We have a bunch of outlets down here for all the trickle chargers. And then, of course, the back wall, the waterfall, they are working together. So you can see the tape lighting right here. They're installing it down each one of the channels and then they cover it basically with the lens cap. We're getting close to lighting up the sky here soon. Momentarily. This is probably the most exciting day of the entire project. This is when the garage is getting its personality. Now, Brad is over here in the back closet working his magic. I don't even want to try to explain exactly what he's doing, obviously, because I don't know what he's doing. So I'm not going to try to explain what I do not know. But we're about to click on some of the low voltage lights here momentarily. Oh, sweet hallelujah. Look at that. That is so crazy. Wow, Brad, dude, that looks crazy. That looks so insanely cool. As Brad just said, Chad GPT's got nothing on us. Their render was nice. Chad's render was nice. But this render actually looks way, way, way better. I cannot wait to get cars down here. Now, unfortunately, we got about 48 hours. We got two days before the cars can actually come on down here. We're having a little bit of debate on a Batcave because it's all bright white. But look at this. Look at this Batcave right here. The dark night. That is bright. OK, so it doesn't have to be all black. We want to see the colors in the cars. I thought about going all black, but I think this is the right choice, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can see this photo here that has the tumbler as well. I mean, I guess it is concrete, but the lights are super bright. So maybe it's not the perfect representation, but it's close enough. There's almost like a lens cap, if you will. It's going to diffuse the light right there. Diffuses the light very nicely. Whereas right here, it is very, very, very bright. If you stare at that, you're going to be blind before you know it. Pressure is on, boys. Camera is fire on all cylinders right now. So you see all the different channels right there. You can see the LED strips going on in place. The waterfall in three, two, one. Let there be light. That turned out so crazy. Cool. All the 90 degree angles with the wall and the ceiling, it is really coming together. There's still a couple more lights to get on in place. Sophie, you come bearing gifts of great magnitude. Greatest gift on the planet. This is a bigger size than usual. Beach babe. Beach babe. I got the beach babe. Are you saying I'm a beach babe? You are a beach babe. Look at the lighting. Do you see it? It's insane. It turned out so good. So we're now going to turn off the super bright lights. You get the full effect of this waterfall. Pop them off. I wait for it. So crazy cool. It looks so sick. Doesn't it look good, Soph? The like lines on the ground. I know. The white epoxy was the right choice. Yes, you did. The only choice. I love these reflections. Looks so crazy. We still need the covers as well to diffuse the light. Oh, wow. It's better than the AI render. It is better, which is crazy. We beat Chad. No, we beat Chad. You can see we got all hands on deck right now. All the lens caps are going on over. The finished carpet did such a great job. You can see how they just fit in perfectly. Just diffuses the light so nicely. And of course, sometimes you got to make adjustments. You can see that lens cap is going to be about a foot long. You just do a quick slice and dice right there. Oh, goodness. The camera doesn't really know how to adjust right when they turn on. We have been all around the world looking at amazing super car and hyper car garages, and now, ladies and gentlemen, we have one of our own. This turned out so sick. Oh, my gosh. I hope on camera you guys are seeing what I am seeing. And of course, the halo light. That's so ridiculously cool. You can never have too much light. I promise you, you can never have too much light. Like I said, the main goal, we want to show the colors of the cars, and this is going to illuminate these walls ever so slightly. The epoxy is like that mirror finish. That turned out sick. So they're now adding the lens cap to the entire halo, and you'll see in that corner, and especially in that corner, you can see the shadows. As soon as those caps are in, that'll diffuse all the light there, and that'll be gone. And now, of course, Oscar looks like he's helping with the hallway. The hallway might be the coolest part, but I'm not entirely sure. Every single thing in this is so incredibly cool. This halo was kind of added last minute, and I'm so glad we did it. And this looks straight out of Star Wars. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below. The dream garage. We're like 99%, boys. Oscar always knows the perfect spot to help on out. Oh, you're gonna sit right there. Wow, bud, okay, vicinity action. Gonna have to pay you soon, aren't ya? Yeah, you want a pup cup, don't ya? I just can't get over how crazy cool this turned out. So the guys are done for the day. They're gonna be back tomorrow to finish it off. You can see, obviously, you got the halo on that side. That side is gonna match as well. The waterfall turned out so incredibly cool. What's amazing too, this is just the low voltage lighting. We don't even have the bright lights on yet, and it is enough lighting for the entire garage. We're gonna come over here. I'm gonna turn on all the other bright lights. And you can now see the garage with all the lights on. The Batcave has been such a long project, I cannot believe that my dream garage has become a reality. So the halo lighting, you can see on that side, we're gonna have the same halo lighting on this side. I also did receive confirmation I can walk on this black tile now. Give you guys an idea of what the effect is gonna be. Black tile's turning out super cool. The brick wall is amazing. We're gonna have a lot of changes in this room. The color of the lighting is a little bit too warm of tone, I think. I think we're gonna make that more of a white light. Obviously, we gotta finish all the tile here, all the tile here. We gotta get the handrails in place too, and the photo there on the wall. But it's coming together. This is what's gonna be so cool, going from the all black to the all white. Now today's video, we probably didn't quite reach 99% done. We're probably at like 90 to 95% done. But today's video's not quite over. We have a little bit of a special surprise involving Starato. I've got my Starato right here. That's an aftermarket exhaust for certain. Sounds proper. We got a little bit of an adventure ahead of us. We are headed to the mountains, right there. Now we're gonna go test the dirt speed capabilities of the Huracan Starato. I have the temporary on order, which of course is a twin turbocharged V8. First quarter of 2026, it's gonna arrive. It will never replace the sound of an NA V10 though. Sounds so good. The final Lamborghini V10 is the Starato, minus the STJ, they only built 10 of those. The Starato basically is the final one. Thank goodness, she is screaming. Now by the end of tonight, we should be going where no Lamborghini has ever gone before. We're basically on a single track road right now, climbing way up into the mountains. This is so sick though. The Starato in its happy place. Up here high, you don't have guardrails, you got gravel. And I guess the gravel's supposed to keep you from careening off the cliff. Ooh, all right, now we good. We got lucky right there. Yes sir. What in the world? I was not expecting a box truck up here. What? Yes sir, yes sir. Oh, I cannot see. This is where the Teslas have to turn around and this is where the Starato continues the charge up. The sun is getting ready to set here in the beautiful state of Utah. I am currently getting a lot of weird looks right now. People are not expecting a Huracan up here in the hills, but you know what? A lot of smiles too. Now I think the polite thing to do is to probably let the more appropriate vehicles pass on by. We're not looking to cause a traffic jam or anything. This is definitely not an advertisement for Kia, but goodness, she looks good in this evening light. We got to take the path it took. There's a lot of ruts right up here ahead, so hello, bonjour. The looks on people's faces. They are very, very confused. I don't know if they're laughing at me or if they're proud of me, but either or. That view right there, oh my, oh my. We got to take a brief intermission from today's rally. It is so beautiful up here. The Starato in the conditions that the Lamborghini executives always imagined, but they never expected, if you will. The car looks so good up here. That evening light is just hitting those hilltops. So we got to go all the way right, right, right there. You told me out if I get stuck? Yeah. All right, there we go, there we go. Now this road really isn't that treacherous. It's just a gravel road, and you can see where we came from all the way down there, and you can kind of see the Wasatch Range as well. Absolutely gorgeous. I've done a lot of fun things in a lot of different cars, but there's something about an off-road Lamborghini, the Starato. This thing, you do things you're not supposed to do in it, and all the general public, they don't even really know that Lamborghini builds this car, so when they see it, their jaw's on the floor, or they're like, why, why? They're very confused, and I say, why not? We're fighting the daylight right now, trying to get a sunlit attempt before that sun goes down. This is crazy, so much fun. This is what cars are supposed to do. They're supposed to put you in a situation of unlimited freedom, or at least, it feels like unlimited freedom. Obviously, if I had more ground clearance, I'd have more freedom, but regardless, I love the Starato. This is exactly what the Lamborghini engineers imagined, although they never expected this. Oh my, we're at about 9,000 feet overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. That color is beautiful. Tooele over there. Wow, this thing, the Starato. I love this. Yeah, these guys are loving it. They are loving it. They did not expect to see a Huracan today. No big deal. Forget your TRD Pro, get yourself a Lamborghini. Now, the inclinometer is saying what? 1% incline and a 7% sideways slope? I'm not sure. There's probably a specific word for that, but we are officially flexing out the Starato with the 7% slope to the side. The sun right now is like a blood red. It is just glowing. Look at that in the mirror. Gentlemen, we are going where no Lamborghini has ever gone. Welcome to the top, the top of Utah. Now, that guy's actually at the top of Utah. I don't think the Starato is gonna make it up there. Everybody is having a nice sunset picnic slash date, so I'm gonna park the car, get a couple shots, and we are gonna head on down. Oh, sweet hallelujah, the Starato has gone where no Lamborghini has definitely ever gone before. And not even a big deal. The sun just set right there. Now, we're looking down on the Kennecott Mine. It's my understanding this is the deepest open pit mine in the world. I could be wrong about that, but check that out. Now, we're gonna hop in the Starato here very soon because, well, the sun's about to set and we do have the rally lights. We do have brightness, however, we still wanna get down before dark. Never forget Jeep Nation just flexing on the entire stage. There's just something fun about doing something in a vehicle that you're not really supposed to, even though the car is designed for this. I like the spec on that Jeep, though. Very nice. What's up, brother? How's it going? I love the color of the Jeep. I think that has to be an Estrada, man. Yes, sir. Yeah, have a good one, man. Thank you, see you guys, take care. We gotta get the full look right here. Rally lights engaged, that looks so crazy cool. My goodness, I just love the summertime. It's like 75 degrees, absolutely gorgeous. Starato is cranking right now. Off-roading is basically just geometry. We're trying to keep this vehicle as level as possible. We don't wanna go down there in the ditch at high center, this thing. This is probably the hardest part of the entire trail. We got a 10% decline, and we're 10% rotated to the driver's side. I know there's a word for that, I just can't think of it right now, because I'm currently on the precipice. I'm not gonna roll. I was gonna say I'm on the precipice of rolling, but I'm really not. I just gotta take it nice and slow. Look at that, 12% tilt. That's, wow, 13%. There's lights coming right here. I gotta think, in the dark, you're really not expecting this. You definitely weren't expecting that coming around this switchback. They're gonna be telling their homies they saw a Lamborghini at night, and their friends are never gonna believe them. It looks like we're going straight down right now, 15%. 15% downward slope. And from the dirt to the paved road, we have survived. The Starato has the $140 cup holder option, and raising canes, perfect. And safe and sound, the Starato is back in the garage. That definitely deserves another shout out. Check out the link below. For every dollar spent, you're gonna get one entry for a chance to win the Starato or the Raptor or the $100,000 cash. Huracan Starato, I think I have proven to you guys how incredible this car is. I love it. And the color palette going on in this garage right now is absolutely ridiculous. I hope you guys enjoyed today's video. The Batcave, we are at 99% completion. I'd give it like another week. We're gonna have all the cars down there, which is gonna be crazy because we got a lot of space up here. Once we sell that Koenigsegg, we're gonna be buying a lot more cars and the Batcave is gonna be full. Before you know it, on that bombshell, today's video is over. Hmm. He's gonna put his whole beak in there. He is. His whole beak. It's like when you reach the bottom. Austin, put your beak in it. More. Even though it's pumped. Oh, goodness.
