Bro you look like car sickness

Bros treating 18 year olds in hondas like the fuckin cartel lmao

Summer 2023 there was a street takeover on NE 60th and Scott in my neighborhood. The attendees flooded the 7-11 on the corner and stole tons of merch, especially alcohol. Some kids came behind the counter and told the owner to open the register. When he refused 3 kids showed their pistols. They broke windows, the sign and robbed that immigrant family causing over $15,000 of damage. Cops would not come. The owner was on the phone with them while they were getting robbed and they would not come. There is a line between street culture and anarchy. Yes, let’s give kids a safe place to explore their culture and community, and maybe even be stupid, but not at the expense of the safety of families, children, and small businesses. This was my neighborhood. That was the 7-11 my kids go to. It’s fucked up. They have cars, drive away from population centers.

"It's not all just kids being dumb" Uh. Yes the fuck it is.

I don’t understand how it’s fun to watch some clapped out beater do doughnuts for more than 10 seconds 😂

Gabe’s not gonna say his full name but he’ll show his face and car😂

Gabe looks like a type of guy who is 33 but has underage girlfriend. And he owes money to everyone he knows.

I agree that there needs to be an outlet for this, whether it’s going to a track or paying some warehouse guy to use his lot, but it can’t be done on the streets it’s just giving car culture a bad reputation.

These guys make everyone in the car scene in this area look like absolutle idiots and are the reason normal car guys are getting punished by the cops

"we dont wanna have people being idiots out here", lieterally everything about takeovers is people being idiots.

Gabe doesn’t know a firewall from a quarter panel. Lmfao

That's fucked up telling a guy with a semi you have to back up and go around cause you want to play crash up derby in the intersection

Street takeovers are for people on probation. Bro is in a crown vic lol.

theres reasons why actual car ppl hate this shit

These fucking takeovers are so fucking ridiculous. I hate them with a passion and this is why the car scene is getting chopped down so fucking fast. It’s sad where this has progressed to

@11:01 "There's nothing like this on the east coast." My brother in Christ, I live in Atlanta... this is a nightly occurrence and way more dangerous. It's so bad that in Atlanta they have attempted to host "legal" takeover events at racetrack parking lots with barriers for them to get it out of their system. It didn't work, as things almost inevitably get violent. Many big intersections have steel plates laid down in order to prevent people from using them for this trash. This is just ignorant and ratchet behaviour, and to know one's surprise, Portland's version of it is tame in comparison.

All they do is swing a clapped out bucket and just ruining the car scene for people who actually enjoy cars

Loving the channel, old school Vice vibes and I'm here for it. I used to live in Portland years ago so its awesome seeing it again in the videos. :D

This isn't street racing, it's burnouts and donuts on the streets .

I laughed my ass off when I saw that crown vic. Local car club with regular ass traffic cars. "The boomer generation used to race .... its not fun as doing this" 🤣

That dude trying to leave with his bumper hanging off 😭

I was part of the og "street" drifting in portland. Never once was there an issue with gun violence. We never shut down intersections. 90% of the time we were in industrial lots or areas that were shut down. We would bring trash bags and leave places cleaner than when we showed up. When cops would show up it was usually only one. They would come tell us to move on, or sometimes just watch. There was never a problem with it. No one got arrested. I dont remember any tickets given out, if any. It was a respectful way for us to go have fun. And thats the difference. We need to bring that back. Not losing someone to a stray bullet trying to leave.

Spinning in circles with automatics 😂

I'm not a boomer - Gen X'er with a 68 Charger I've had since I was 15. Back in the day I cruised the streets, we all drove around, gathered around the Porky's hamburger stand in St. Paul and all the musclecars would cruise up and down the streets. The cops would show up once in a while and cruise around and occasionally pull someone over but mostly there was no big fuss. I remember one time some guys started putting down bleach at an intersection and people did burnouts and the cops shut everything down right away. But there was never the violence I see in a lot of these videos, and nobody ever stopped traffic in the middle of an intersection in the city. To me, it seems like it's kind of crappy that people do that these days. It's kind of arrogant and to be honest it kind of pisses me off, that kind of arrogance. Like you think you're more important than anyone else. I also don't ever remember anyone firing off any guns like what happens in some of these street takeovers. I can't relate to this new culture. To me, they seem like they're a bunch of dicks. Just my opinion.

There’s Portland International Raceway that could be used instead of doing the street takeovers. But because there’s rules/safety in mind, it’s no longer an option. It’s all about rebellion, instant gratification, and low effort required. As a car person I get having the passion, but not at stopping the lives of others or worse, risking their safety. Have fun, but do it sensibly 💁🏼‍♂️ Just imagine during a street takeover that an ambulance had some dying and couldn’t get through because of the congestion. Then the person in the ambulance dies because of a 3-5 minute delay getting to a hospital. It’s an unintended consequence, but a real possibility! That’s only one of many things I thought of from street takeover dangers.

the quality of your videos are fire, shout out to the whole team!

imagine someone at a takeover, trying to be. leader and being upset becuase u put fireworks, u already putting so many idiots at risk, what a bunch of clowns.

I hate these fucking takeovers. I live right outside the intersection where they happen. They're so fucking annoying. Cars just doing circles. Also a shooting. I literally heard a kid yell, I'm hit get me to a hospital. Maybe not common but happened at my house.

finding this channel right before i move back to portland is divine timing, loving this

🤦 he just called the rear quarter panel. a fire wall 😂

This channel is the good version of Vice Documentaries

I do donuts and burnouts, but with about 0% potential manslaughter involved. So I cant relate to them at all. Kids do stupid stuff because they're kids. And that's fine, to a point. It's still stupid.

“And I think it’s a lot safer then going fast” damn the audacity the fact there’s been more laws broken and people being killed being ran over by cars doing donuts in a parking lot.

The crowd around it just sucks, and its not a good group of people to be around. There is an absolute attitude, intelligence, and personality difference between these children and old school street drifters. Its like kids with family problems bringing it out in public for attention being compared to guys who just want to slide in peace in the mountains or somewhere isolated and not bother anybody. People are justifiably angry at these kids because at its core its for attention and dont care on who they hurt or inconvenience. To compare these guys to skateboarders is like kids who think they are cool because all they can ride is a half pipe and nothing else.

I have been in drag racing and drifting scene since i was 16. That's more than 15 years now. And i'm tellin - all those takeovers are massive shitstain on car culture image. None of these guys can properly control their car and are just pinning the throttle and crashing into each other and running over bystanders. This is the most stupid part of global car culture, i really hope this ends soon. This is carshow and drifting just as much as shooting fent behind walmart dumpster is a recreation.

I totally agree! The 19 yr old me says fuck yeah!!! The current me is cringing at the poor skids these kids are doing. 🤣🤣 Pick up your game and put on a smoke show, maybe watch a few aussie burnout videos and get some tips. 🤣🤣

If you find yourself at one of these events your not a car guy!! Period. This is rule breakers and people who don't care about their car or others

Theres someone who donuts the main intersection by my house almost every night(in portland), its actually crazy lol

Dude this series is absolutely some of the best documentary work about Portland I think I’ve ever seen. Great job as always!

I MISS T5!!! I was in the group chat he was talking about. It was such a great community, but yeah it died out after feds were cracking down on Snap.. it was fun jumping locations and meeting new ppl 😆

This is a SNL skit 🤣

Literally all buckets 😭😂😂

Severely Underrated Channel! you finna be the next Tommy G! Also, I Agree that we need places to do this kinda stuff. My homie paved his farm outside toronto for stuff like this but then he vanished

dude showing his face AND said his first name with the whip he driving… broo🤦🏾‍♂️🤣its only a matter of time for you

bro this is some multimillion sub level of quality, you deserve way more subscribers

you deserve many more subs, this was amazing to watch

Documentary in Portland about sideshows?? 🤣🤣 Im hella weak

Y’all continue to be the most relevant new series I’ve come across. Thanks for all of your work!

Really love the channel man. I'm a Portland native myself so it's nice to see my city getting some credit!

Bruh Gabe is a clown 🤡 😂 “show off our cars” ain’t nobody tryna see a clapped out Victoria 😂😂😂

Great video, this channel needs to be much bigger. Keep the grind up

I hate these intersection takeovers in this town.

Great channel, can't wait to see how y'all branch out.

Hanging yourself outside of a moving vehicle has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen. And you did it.

This is really well done. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

New York is huge in street racing here in Portland that I know of isn’t big on street racing but East coast is huge in street racing with 1stock and nohesi

New sub. Keep up the great production.

He has always been into cars, meanwhile drives a crown vic with 300 wheels 😂

Just know that Cali was out there doing what they do best 🤝

Bros wipin the crown Victoria 💀💀💀

first time viewer, high quality video. keep up the good work. i come from an area where these things began, i dont see anything wrong unless it's blocking major areas of traffic which is fucked up.

Great content

Homie was dragging his bumper 😂

Im a former illegal street racer who raced in the Tokyo/Yokohama area from 1984-1995. It was nothing for a friday night to find ourselves out with about 2000 plus spectators lining the streets and a 100 plus cars out getting it on in a serious kinda way. We were primarily drifting and drag racing. It was very organized and a lot of the heavy hitters actually had sponsorship! I still drive a hopped up car today, I just dont get stupid on the streets anymore. If you wanna get it off the streets and make it safer for everyone, there has to be an outlet where you can do this sort of thing, have a little fun, burn off a little steam, show off your car and your skill behind the wheel. Unfortunately there are very few places to "safely do this" and a lot of it is due to the sue happy society we now live in.

“Firewall”😂

CHAOSTOWN always bringing that fire content we need!

“Put on a mask and make sure you’re legal”…… bro what?! Lmao 6:40

Next episode we send a guy that cant swim to investigate the new community pool.... lol wtf.

This channel has a bright future

Great video I live in Portland but am into the lowrider scene. You got a new subscriber

I grew up with my friend in a mini truck club. I get the social aspect of auto talk and popped hoods. Regardless of how one views right or wrong, the social element will always take center stage. Whatever that hobby is, if there's a gathering - be it a knitting club or street takeovers - there's a social element we all crave.

Killer doc🔥🔥🔥🔥

Every generation seems to have their rebellion. With mine, it was cruising and 82nd avenue used to be a very different place. There were shops, people buying music, getting things to eat, and other things. Then the laws were passed to shut it down. That did stop the particular activity, but it really didn't stop the need to just get out there and do stuff. So people did other stuff, and I'm not sure that other stuff was better --even for them. And 82nd changed. Once the money was pushed away, so went the businesses and in came the crime and in came the rot. Back then, the idea of there being a place was not considered officially that I can recall. What I do recall was anger, and the loss of a scene that many people valued. It's obvious to me these people value their scene. It's more than rebelling to them, same as it was to us. Would a place work? I don't know. Maybe if it were something those people own, and by that I mean the inevitable commercialization of it would be their doing. Maybe. Do they want that? Whatever comes of this, people should be asking the question, "what do those people do, if it's not this?" For us, the answers were not good. And people will do something. Again, for us, I wonder whether anyone asked the various businesses who often made it on those Fridays... Clearly they didn't make it without the scene happening and in many cases, neither did what came after. What came after is known as Felony Flats.

Quarter panel, not the fire wall😂

There is a place to do it it’s called the track

The white truck with the Pizza Hut sign is in police impound lol I saw it a few weeks ago

I was at one of these (unwillingly, I was trying to sleep because I work at 6AM and they were doing this shit outside my apartment). There were also lots of unhoused people in my area at the time and I just kept thinking about what happens if somebody spins out or is trying to get away from the cops and runs into an encampment and k*lls somebody. It's irresponsible, it's annoying, it could be deadly to people who aren't even involved. I don't mind the cruising events that happen in my neighborhood. They're loud cars, but at least they're cool and I'm not worried about someone getting hurt while they're just trying to exist on the sidewalk.

No mention of the shots fired on NYE at one of these in PDX?

you should’ve seen when they shut down all those bridges you drove by all through portland😂

Come down to the Tri state your camera man don’t know we most definitely get down like the west coat 🕺

Great documentary but those people DO NOT represent the car community and are part of the reason we can no longer have car meets without the police showing.

Bro said “if I get caught” whole time wearing a company jacket with his name and whole car in the video 💀💀💀

I tried watching this, it's sounds interesting but I kept flashing back to the scene in Pulp Fiction when Vincent says is she the one with all the shit in her face.😂

“I don’t like going fast” bro you can’t in that car 💀💀💀💀

it’s funny seeing a ton of my friends in this video 🤣

Yo, Was that dude wearing a playboy bunny bellybutton ring in his ear?😂😂

Street takeovers are not consider events they are dumb and illegal anyone that takes part in this illegal activity should get their driver license taken away and suspended for 2 1/2 years and have to retake the driver test all over again

Hey honestly, I've been a hater about this stuff before so it's kinda nice to see the other side's perspective. It seems fun and a lot sweeter than I'd have guessed. Pretty cool shit, and honestly better than racing for the rest of us in the city I'd bet

Video quality like VICE 👌💯

Oakland culture ❤

Dope ass video love from the BAY AREA

It’s called a sideshow not a slideshow😭

What song was that at the end?

They definitely have this in the east coast. Go down to Miami. It’s an every night occurrence, it’s so bad that they even have DHS agents outside looking for them

I just recently moved from Portland to ATL , and I definitely miss that P Town vibe I gotta say that I think that these youngsters these days that are out there sliding n tearing up them streets got fffffnnn skills, and a lot of heart I am 65 years old and it’s like dude said in this interview, I come from that generation that was out @ The Firestone off of 181st doing the 1/4 mile thing, out there in the wee hours of the night I don’t view what these youngsters of today as being anything different, this is the car culture of this day and age, they are 1st automotive enthusiasts, and the driving skills that some of these youngsters display in the pit is phenomenal I her people of my generation putting down the Take Over Community, but when you put it in context and compare what there doing now ( sliding ) compared to what we was doing back then, I mean really it wasn’t any different the police was out to get us, pulling MF over, towing cars, showing up at the spot and closing it down. I look at the people I knew then and where the car culture took us, and for a lot of us back then it was and still is a positive thing in our lives a lot of the guys I knew back then that were out there racing every week end are still part of the Portland car Community today, some of them have their own businesses in the automotive field, some of us still build cars and race at the legal race tracks, some like myself are still building and keeping those old stool whips on the road, getting out there and cruising whenever we can. And I believe more over it will be the same for this current generation, he’ll I could imagine that some of them will end up in NASCAR The definitely got the skills…………………. Slide on PDX

Letsss goo I’m a slideshow baby from Oregon near Portland area!! I’m always looking for homies doing the same shiii

wow this channel deserves so much more attention.

chaostown's videos are so good each time

GABE GOT NO BARS, BIG ASS PIT COULDNT EVEN HOLD IT LOL

Damn the new fast and furious looks cool!
