A lot of people curious about my GTI: It's a 2022 Mk8 Autobahn Launch Edition where VW only made 700 of them in that color (Pomelo) and configuration, comes w/ a numbered plaque and letter from the President of VW of America. It's also a manual transmission, which as you know is getting phased out worldwide in many cars. During the pandemic I traded my previous 2013 GTI Autobahn with only 50K miles on it because dealers were offering so much $$$. This new 2022 Mk8 model is nice cuz it's got adaptive chassis control and sport suspension, electronic slip differential, larger infotainment display, lane assist, etc... etc... Definitely a nice upgrade from the 2013 model!

Blockbuster is a show of what the 90s and early 2000s really were, People would venture out for something as small as a movie to watch on the weekend and it would be such a fun thing to do as a child. Miss those good times!

I need 30 mins of road trips. Do more of these!

Roadtrip content is incredible MJR, I find some of the most enjoyable content is when you guys are on the road or travelling in general

New mjr, new foo fighters, and Spiderman across the multiverse all in one day! Best Friday ever!

Dude you should really start doing a lot more travel stuff. I actually noticed my wife (who doesn't like gaming content) has loved these and will actually watch them with me. Solid content!

It's always interesting to see my home state of 47 years from someone else's perspective.

I’ve followed you for years dude and I’m not exaggerating when I day that this is not just my favourite vlog of yours but my favourite of all time. The effort and love you put into these are clear my dude, best thing I’ve watched all year

I'm a Uk viewer but i always find these videos interesting to watch (just like when i watch Abroad In Japan's videos, i really want to go to Japan at least once in my life)

Long live Blockbuster!

That lake scene is something else.

Man, I love these videos. Oregon seems like a nice chill place to visit. Can't wait for the next part.

Nice 😊 you’ve been kicking butt on these videos of Oregon. Metal Jesus knows how to rock !

Finally!!! Sending us into the weekend with a video like that, thank u MJR!!!!

That Crater Lake is so beautiful! 💖 Stunning view, I hope I can see it myself

Wow that would just be insanely nostalgic for me to be in that blockbuster. Blockbuster was my weekend treat for many years as a kid. Rented so many awesome PS1 games there. I miss blockbuster so much!

The quality of these vlogs is amazing!!! Please do more! :D

Seeing MJR looking like he has short hair while driving (with range anxiety) was uncomfortably odd :p awesome video though, love the landscapes!

I think the tv on top of the dragons layer Unit was a smart idea because when it was brand new it would get a lot of people to see the amazing graphics and probably drew a lot of people to play it Just because they wanted to see how they made a game with such beautiful graphics at that time.

Another great video! It’s cool to see that even arcades with really old school cabinets are still out there. I can’t wait to see what y’all found at the mega goodwill

That Blockbuster brings back so many memories!!!!!

Really love these travel videos! Wow these places look amazing!

Your travel videos never disappoint what a treat! Youve got the nack for it these are incredibly well made

Man I love these videos.

I’m a long time subscriber of the channel and have to repeat what’s already been said, these travel videos are fantastic. I’m sure the editing and filming of these is tougher than your other videos but the end result is so great for the viewer. You are an absolute natural out in public and I love that you guys are so respectful and friendly with the people you meet. Taking the time to show things like the crater and the travel and just other things beside the game stores is such a nice change of pace from most gaming focused channels. Thank you for taking the time on these videos.

As a poor working class kid growing up I wasn’t able to get many games whenever I wanted but Blockbuster was awesome cause I could finally play the games I wanted for cheaper it was awesome. I went to the Blockbuster in Bend this past summer and it was a nostalgic trip of nonstop happy memories for me. 😊

Love that track to kick off the video🤘Really enjoy your travel videos - Oregon is so beautiful and looks like you balanced out the nature sights and game hunting nicely!

I love Bend! Haven't visited in over 15 years despite living in Portland all this time. Makes me want to go back! What a lovely trip, thanks for sharing with us

Such an outstanding video 🤟 So much fun watching this crew tour around store to store as well as sightseeing along the way. Glad you all had a great time!

I wish i could hangout with MetalJesus for a day.

Thanks for taking us all on this awesome trip with you Mr Jesus!

Absolutely love this style of video! Thanks for making it :)

I would love to breathe the fresh air up at that lake.

Metal Jesus another great video! For someone living in Europe this is a great way to "visit" those places. Thanks again, superb contact and all the best to your family and friends.

As someone from the UK I absolutely LIVE for these American game hunting road trips! Fantastic stuff 👌🏼

the view of crater lake is like a bob ross painting

This is the reason I subscribed…the travel videos. I really feel like these are your best work. Keep it up Jason!

Oh yeah the legends are back as been so looking forward to this video since watching the last one and I was left amazed with another quality travel video that I loved every moment of these adventures 🔥🤘

Heyo MJR! Part 2 of the epic road trip! YEAH! 🤘🤘

Dude, i looooooove your content!!!! How you mixed it all up with trips and game hunting is magical. The one and only metal jezus!

Crater Lake is spectacular. Love living in the west with places like this, Yellowstone, and Glacier. Great ski season this last year!

That was great, looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

Love these road trip vids . Really look foward to these !

I really love these road trip videos especially how they focus on gaming and then nice sightseeing spots 😄

Great episode, looking forward to the next video. It was great to see you guys in the last Blockbuster! It just seemed like a perfect fit, cheers!

I love that this is not just a gaming youtube channel!

MetalJesus! You are the man - I am thinking of planning my own video game hunting trip in the Midwest, keep up the great work on the amazing content!

Your Thumbnail looks like an old Postcard.. love that 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Love your travel videos you should have your own network show. I love the game videos also. Its your channel that got me into retro game collecting. Keep up the great work.

I haven't been to Bend in years. I love that area.

Another great video, I always tell you I love the travling videos! I am looking forward to the next and that record store. You can also tell that you guys are having a good time, so nice to see!

Thanks for another great video! Looking forward to the rest of the journey!

I love these videos. Please keep them coming.

You need you own travel show. These videos are so much better than most shows on television! I cant wait for the next one!

You always put me in such a good, hopeful mood. Thank you dude

What an epic video! Part travel vlog, part history lesson, part game hunting 🔥🔥🔥

i love your channel, crew and you! THANK YOU

I just moved to Bend about a year ago and am LOVING it here. Thanks for the great video and showing the White Rabbit store - didnt know it existed!

Just amazing footage, thanks for sharing!.

As always a lovely roadtrip video, @MetalJesusRocks

When I first walked up and say Crater Lake my brain immediately said "That's so fake". It was just so clear and perfect.

Man, it is gorgeous up there. Had to add Crater Lake to my bucket list. And woot for Deschutes! Black Butte's one of my favorites as well. Keep having all the fun, sir. Best!

Awesome video Jesus! Thank you very much and enjoy your weekend

God i love the MetalJesus travel videos, looks like a TON of fun.

Loveee this series. Im from portland and live in eugene so like almost every single one of these shops i probly been to at one point. its so nice seeing metal jesus in them!!

Crater Lake looks amazing!! You're tourism video are so good! If you ever get sick of video games, you will fall straight into tourism videos no problem at all!

These videos make me want to move to Seattle or Oregon. 4 seasons always the best! Miss the mountains,lakes and late night movie nights w/ blockbuster.😢

These videos are my favorite. You've made me wanna take the drive down to crater lake! I live in eastern washington.

Wow, Bend, Oregon looks amazing. I live in England and would never have known anything about this place until I watched this video. Love when you do road trips. Was laughing watching your dilemma with the gas station, I live in a small town in a small country and there's 3 within a 5 minute drive from my house 😂 Blockbuster Video gives me so much nostalgia, pure childhood memories of video shops in general. Saturday nights always felt special, going to pick a film and some treats before getting a Chinese takeaway to take home with us.

I can't wait to see part 3. That Goodwill is INSANE, my friend showed me it once.

Love these travel videos!

When your car is out of gas, use old fashioned hybrid mode, by pushing it from behind.

Fantastic video thanks MJR 🤘😎!

that view of crater lake could make me cry that was so beautiful.

A rad trip, love Crater Lake & your time there in Bend, very kool!

Metal Jesus, Crater Lake is heartbreakingly beautiful! I really have to visit Oregon, what an amazing place!

Dude, these vlogs are the sh@*!. Great work. Awesome following you around the country

Thank you for capturing a picture of a dragon layer machine with the monitor on top because I remember seeing a machine just like that in a Chuck E cheese. I was with with my father as a kid and every dragon slayer I've seen since is only is the arcade machine no monitor on top of it. So I for a long time thought I'd just imagine the monotor on top and thought it was never a thing. I just had remembered it wrong. But your video of the footage proved it for me. I can't believe I can still remember that because it's from so long ago like. I'm 43 now and that's like from when I was like 7 or 8 or 9. Oh well always a video game junkie I guess To expand on that memory even more I remember when I saw that game At chuck e cheese with the monitor and my jaw literally hit the floor because of how beautiful the animated graphics were and still to this day when I played a really cartoony game on any newer system. I just remember me as a little boy seeing that dragons layer unit for the first and thinking how far we had come. To get from the kind of lackluster interactivity of dragons layer to a fully interactive video game with cartoon graphics that would rival any disney movie just still makes my jaw drop that it happen in such a short time.

Great video MJR! Will have to put Crater Lake on the travel check off list.

Whoah I was just in that Deschutes brewery 2 weeks ago visiting bend for the first time! Wish I’d thought to lookup game stores, those look so nice! Thanks for showing them off!

Just some buds having fun! Great video!

Thanks for sharing! I've been thinking about driving up to that area for some time. Looks amazing!

Love these road trip videos! Keep up the great work! 👍

been following forever man and so excited anytime you drop a new video! Keep it up Jason!

Crater Lake just looks stunning. It's #1 on my list for the next time I'm out west.

Metal Jesus, you make the best travel vlogs on KZfaq. I always squeal when you post new ones...great job. Really quick give me your top 5 best Soundgarden tracks. I'm curious as to the level of your fandom

Need more of these love these videos

Thanks for a really enjoyable video. It definitely nakes me want to drive through Bend, again!

Seeing these types of video definitely makes want to travel around the US!

I have really enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful video editing. Is like art.

Always a beautiful day when MetalJesus uploads

those reflections in the water were spectacular

I had a similar stressful experience driving on low fuel from Denver to Grand Junction CO. I left Denver with plenty of fuel for the trip as it was planned, however 1/3 of the way back the road was covered over by a mudslide. Got rerouted 4 hours out of the way.
