One thing you guys probably forgot with that bottle warmer, people used glass bottles back in the day so it wouldn't be burning it lol

Betcha the baby bottle warmer was intended for glass bottles

The red "shaver" is definitely an old lint grabber. Believe it or not, that head design is still used today.

Growing up in the 90s toll booth change baskets were still a thing. The coin launcher is by far the best product and at the best value, even for 1960s money. It's practical, fun to use, and unique.

I just imagine a semi truck driver with that coin shooter reloading like 20 times lmao

The shaver you have I believe is a lint shaver for shaving lint off sweaters, we use to have a cordless one when I was a kid.

3:30 _"It only detects when the RADAR gun is pointed directly at the unit. That's kind of concerning."_ Why? That's how RADAR works. It only measures your speed if it's pointed directly at you.

6:02 I’m pretty sure baby bottles were glass in the 60’s

I wanna see a single car outfitted with every old car gadget you guys have acquired all at the same time. 😂

5:17 Justin fighting his intrusive thoughts 💀

6:08 I grew up with that very same coffee maker, we used it all through the 1980's and 90's and it still works great, we used it to heat the water and pour it into soup in a bowl or small pot and coffee in a cup, making anything in it is a bad idea as it will burn into the coil, the box even says not to. Man I would love that brake tester at the end, when I serviced the brakes on my 1931 Pontiac it would have been amazing to see the difference my work made in actual feet!

That brake tester is called a tapley meter and it is still used in the UK on MOT tests for vehicles which can't go in the brake rollers (4wd vehicles for example)

“You can’t even get this material for 5 bucks anymore” Sad but true 😂🥃

That bottle warmer was actually meant to be used with glass bottles and mother's milk, not formula. Just figured I'd share that.

Glad to see Justin showing more personality on camera! Only getting better my guy!

1:25 The nice design of the 1953 Cadillac was the little nubs on top of the early fins held the turn signals that you could see flashing or not through the rear view mirror.

“Call me A-blinkin” is a top tier dad joke from Nolan 😂

Justin and Nolan are such a good pair for this show. You dudes are hilarious

my uncle got extreme second degree burns from one of those dashtop coffee pots back in the 70s or 80 and almost died. Gotta love old products

Miss the car content, the product reviews all feel the same

I think a lot of people don’t realize how much of this stuff is meant for things like camping or RVs, etc and not really for use on a commute in a car.

I sho thought the fuzz buster was gonna be the shaver. And the amount of time Justin thought about putting the pacifier in his mouth is hilarious.

I like this Nolan and Justin duo. There should be more.

The “A-Blinking” joke was actually pretty good 😂

I think baby bottles were all glass back in the 60’s. So it would have probably actually have worked pretty well.

Hats off to these guys playing with ancient leaded products.

There are some MOT centres here in the uk still using that decelerometer as a way to check brakes. They measured G and were routinely calibrated. That tool was how it was done everywhere before in ground roller brake testers became the standard

9:05 the coin shooter is like the supreme money gun from past😂❤

Decelerometers are still a thing and still used for car inspections. In Australia you can be pulled over and inspected virtually any time, the yellow 'canary' stickers they put on for a defect are kinda legendary.

Hoping to get another high-low series but on motorcycle

5:18 He was seriously thinking about putting it in his mouth. The amount of restraint he was showing was pretty admirable lol

IM BEGGING YOU DONUT DO AN UP TO SPEED ON ANYTHING! RACERS, RACE TRACKS, RACES, TOOL COMPANIES, LEGENDARY TUNER SHOPS. I KNOW YALL DID ALOT OF THEM BUT I MISS LEARNING THE HISTORY AND THE STORY TELLING. I UNDERSTAND THESE FILLER EPISODES ARE TO FUND HIGH LOW, BUT I CANT DO THIS ANY MORE..PLEASE WE MISS THE REAL DONUT..IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE MIND BLOWING BUILDS. JUST ANYTHING OTHER THAN THESE WISH REVIEWS AND ETC.

I wonder if radar guns used to have much higher power output, since their own receivers and filtering mechanisms may have also been poor compared to today. and/or their output may have been less focused so that nearby vehicles could detect the bleed

Nolan & Justin always make a great pair for videos. Also, shout out to the editing team for a great job on this video!

RIP Up 2 Speed

I love that all your videos about old car accessories have surf music in the background. Which one of you made that excellent choice?

Coffee and a pack of Donuts is a good way to start a Friday.

Some of those like the coffee maker are probably better as a camping accessory than an "on the go" product

4:48 the electric shaver is meant to shave a 5 o’clock shadow, not a full beard.

"lets get to blinkin, call me abe blinkin" absolutely crushed my lungs

I only recently replaced the car I had for 16 years, and the indicators never automatically turned off when you straightened the wheel, so that first product made me smile ☺

1:00 today we need a turn signal reminder to remind one to USE THEM.

I still watch every donut video the second I see it pop up, however I hope they are saving up some money for another hilow, money pit, or b2b

5:20 Justin trying sooooooooooooo hard not to put it in his mouth 🤣 he wants to so badly 😂

These episodes are cool and fun. But I miss your old shows.

The brake tester is called a Tapley Meter and in my country (New Zealand) we legitimately still use them for our yearly safety inspections if your workshop doesn't have a rolling road. You zero the meter out and at 50kph you slam on the brakes and if it doesn't get to 50% braking efficiency you fail. Legitimately in my decade+ experience I've only had a small handful of cars not meet that requirement however and usually it's because the car is old and has rusty/asbestos based brakes. We have these inspections because we have public healthcare and we don't want taxpayers paying for people getting hurt/killed in vehicular accidents caused by negligent lack of maintenance.

@12:00 truckers deal with random safety inspections. And honestly I would feel more comfortable on the road if civil cars had random safety inspections

fellow 6am donut connoisseur’s. Welcome back 🦅

Crazy how yall are at 7mill+ subs, been here since like 326k remember yalls first little awkward live stream yall had to celebrate 1 million. Congrats Mr James and Noland.

Justin quickly becoming more and more a favorite! Love this guy’s energy

Love watching you guys. Ready for more builds

Justin is like an uncle that everybody wants

Up to Speed on Michael Schumacher please. Ken Block deserves one too but it’s still a little too fresh so maybe wait on that and do a collaboration with Hoonigan.

Decelerometers are still used and they’re still used for inspections. In the UK the DVLA and VOSA have checkpoint all over the motorway network, the police can pull you over and anytime to inspect a vehicle for safety. Sometimes they’re set up ad-hoc in car parks in known hotspots too

My nana had that token gun!! It was awesome seeing that as a kid. She let me use it in the back seat until I missed one time lol.

Raise your hand if you've been watching donut media for a very long time🙋

It is worth noting that radar detectors in the 50s and 60s were way more powerful in RF output, largely due to inefficiency, so it comes as no surprise that the modern radar gun makes it trigger not so well.

I am loving this old car stuff segment you guys are doing keep it up it's great!

These videos give me good mythical motors (GMM) vibes

Would've loved to see that blinker bulb of the E36 changed to see if the blinker indicator device really works. Could've been on the whole time.

About the $5 coin shooter: You guys have to remember that if that was a product from the late 60s, $5 would be somewhere between $40-50 in today's monetary value

5:45 to be fair in the 60's the baby bottles were made of glass so the wouldnt burn or melt

I feel like you guys really missed an opportunity to do a whole skit with Nolan dressing up as a 20’s cop and riding the step of Justin’s Tundra lmfao Solid work guys, keep ‘em coming!

Dude, I love videos with Nolan and Justin. Great team.

So much of this is still relevant to truck drivers. Heaters for water and soup are available at every truck stop. A cop can pull you over and do an inspection including brakes at any time without any requirement of probable cause. Kinda interesting.

In the army as a mechanic from 86 to 98 and we had brake testers that drew a line with a pendulum mounted pencil, it also showed if brakes were pulling. Old but reliable.

I love all these old gadgets! You guys should see if you can track down one of those liquid traction sets. They'd have a spray nozzle directed in front of the drive wheels that'd spray antifreeze or liquid salt in front of the drive wheels, which would melt snow or ice to get you unstuck in a pinch. There's no snow where you guys are... But maybe you could use VHT instead of antifreeze👀

The brake tester likely could be calibrated. Back in 1920's it came with a free box of donuts 🍩 for the police officer, too 😂😜

I have a fuzzbuster elite for my 79 El Camino. I love mine. I was just looking for vintage early 80s car accessories and stumbled upon it.

Love this concept, good job guys!

I'd be hella down for a modernized line up of donut accessories that you guys bring back... To your shop 😎

The road inspector also known as MOT checks in the UK 🙃 and seeing some of the cars that are driven in the road in the USA I'm glad we do have the MOT here 🤣

I’m surprised that neither of them had heard of a decelerometer before! Here in the uk we still use them for MOT tests on permanent 4wd vehicles

Honestly, that autoparker is pretty rad... I'd pick one up if they weren't impossible to find.

A fabric shaver will do wonders on your beard, Nolan. You'd think some of these products would be researched a little bit more before trying to use them. Like trying to use modern plastic baby bottle in a heater made when only glass bottles were around.

I think the coffee maker was just for getting boiling hot water. You were probably supposed to pour that into a thermos/mug with instant coffee once it was hot.

Dude, the 3D view in the parts magazine was SICK

10:25 i need one of those for my daughter that is now learning to drive

This episode made me realize how similar some of these are to GMM. Finding old stuff, deciding whether it’s good enough to bring back or not…. Would be a crossover of the century if you guys somehow made an episode with Rhett and Link lol

Can we get more videos of Jeremiah throwing it back?

I think the shaver would be really useful for car seat lint. I have a battery powered one that looks pretty much the same, and does a great job removing lint and fluff.

1:21 - Check it out! There used to be two big old-fashioned gasometer tanks just south of the 101 Freeway near Union Station. I didn't even think they were used in the States.

Ima keep my Car “accessories” ”a necessity”

Drum brakes actually have more holding power than similar sized disk brakes. But they can more easily overheat (brake fade), often weigh more and are more complex to work on.

I feel like Justin shooting money into a bin describes car ownership for most of us

That guy pulling you over and saying I'm inspecting your brakes now... DOT officers to truck drivers everywhere 😂😂😂

Thank you for making videos like this it is very normal compared to half of the stuff nowadays 😂

The thing with the Fuzz buster is that radar guns have changed since that thing was built so there is a small chance it worked better on the police radar that existed at the time. The bottle warmer was meant for glass baby bottles which was the main type in use when that thing was made.

That was pretty cool. Please do more videos like this. Three observations (not criticism): 1. Radar guns used to be "always on" and a MUCH higher wattage than current radar gun technology. 2. Baby bottles used to be made of glass. 3. Random roadside inspections are still performed to this day on commercial vehicles.

I'm glad you guys explained toll booths used to have hoppers you'd just chuck your coins in. The first thing that came to mind with that coin shooter is if you use it to shoot coins at a person working the toll booth, they should be allowed to shoot back with live ammo...

Justin and nolan kicked ass on this one.. this was a funny video..loved the toll booth gun too

The only vintage clothing item i want brought back is the hat about bungee cords left in the road. I think James wore it in the old Hi-Low series.

7:11 - I just remembered how hard it was to get hot coffee in 1964 when you were driving. Fast food restaurants were not everywhere like now, Starbucks didn't exist and there wasn't drive through. People had to STOP and actually enter a restaurant to drink coffee. Or make coffee at home and put it in a vacuum bottle (Thermos). -- Plus, cars didn't have cup holders until the 1980s.

Fun fact. I still use a decelerometer today. For awd and 4x4 our brake roller tester can cause transmission damage so we use a vintage decelerometer instead. They are still very reliable and capable devices.

In the UK MOT inspection you still have them Ferodo or Tapley decelerometers for brake test for if the brake rollers are down or you have a 4x4 not suitable for rollers. They are mounted on a weight and you place it in the passenger footwell rather than clamp it to the side.

Can the awesome people of Donut Media bring back Up To Speed? Been waiting since the last episode.

11:49 "How mad would you be if this dude came up to you and was like I'm inspecting your vehicle right now" As a commercial vehicle driver, very mad when this happens multiple times a year 😂😂

I actually find the turn signal reminder super useful. My 86 f150 doesn't have self-cancelling blinkers, so coming from a more modern car I find myself forgetting to turn it off ALL the time lol.

My mom had something like that car shaver you tested back in the early 90's. Except hers was a lint remover and it was battery powered.

3:55 I think that's when you want to turn it up, when the radar is coming from farther away. Probably why it stopped working when you turned it up, cuz he was so close.
