I still find it funny how a gaming channel that had nothing to do with history basically transformed into a history channel with a small secondary gaming channel all because of a sponsorship.
-
72 miles an hour with no brakes sounds like the worlds most terrifying roller coaster
-
Funny how Henry Ford practically created his own comptetition
-
1908: "...and an owner should be able to repair it themselves with no special training..." 2023: cries fighting for Right to Repair laws...
-
Seeing Henry Ford racing someone using HIS creation is something that should be covered in the media more often.
-
That intro was basically how I felt after playing mafia definitive edition racing level. “Yes I WON I never wanna do that again”
-
I love how the personalities of the Dodge brothers are exactly what youd expect of the founders of Dodge lol
-
To say that first race in 1901 was a big deal is in understatement. It was actually the first automobile race in Michigan, and anticipation was high. Stores closed, people flocked to the race track, and a judge had adjourned his court to go see the race!
-
its nice that the timing of this series on Henry Ford's legacy lines up with the strikes happening on the automobile industry in America.
-
I am liking the forshadow as a charactor. I am hoping he sticks around and we end up with a small host of thematic charactors to help efficiently symbolize and comunicate concepts
-
3:14 - That detail on the mustache… Genius!
-
Henry Ford racing cars himself, funny this hasn't been covered more in other media!
-
Fun fact: to this day racing is a big part of how car companies advertise themselves. As the phrase goes: win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Edit: also, it’s funny seeing how the Dodge brand today is so much like the attitude of the Dodge brothers. Absolutely insane and crazy in all the best ways.
-
Watching from Detroit. So proud to see the local history!
-
Y'know this is quite interesting to see this series happening at the same time to what is happening right now: the motor workers union strike.
-
Another great story is William Crapo Durant. He is probably the truer story of Motor city and the rise and fall of Detroit.
-
2 years later and Ford got better production and the first transcontinental passage in car
-
Funny how Henry Ford himself started not just Ford itself but the ford racing legacy (please make an episode on that), who because of him now runs in IMSA, NASCAR, rally racing and even was and now is going to set back foot into the biggest stage in all of Motorsport: Formula 1.
-
That story with the Dodge brothers sounds just like something a Dodge owner would do and sums up their cars perfectly lol
