This Car Plaza in Shenzhen is Quite Literally Underground
Larry Chen
0:00 We're about to shoot in Shenzhen.
0:02 First time
0:04 Shenzhen.
0:04 I'm so excited.
0:05 We got Lola.
0:06 Car culture.
0:07 We got like a stock Lola.
0:09 We do.
0:11 But
0:10 but it's wrapped.
0:12 It's going to be dope.
0:14 Oh.
0:14 Oh
0:26 It's very familiar this scene.
0:31 Get in the back with Simon.
0:33 Let's uh
0:35 Hey, Larry.
0:37 Hi.
0:36 Here we go.
0:55 I told Zuck that he could pretend like it's left-hand drive
0:58 since it's very rare to have a right-hand drive car in China.
1:03 So, Son could just pretend like he's in the US in Lola,
1:06 like the actual Lola driving left hand drive.
1:12 That is so dope.
1:18 I basically told them calling all Shenzhen photographers.
1:24 Where is there a good location to shoot cars?
1:27 Because I'm not from here.
1:30 I did tell them, hey, I saw some cool backgrounds.
1:33 Can we get this as a background?
1:35 And so they're kind of scrambling right now to try to figure that out.
1:39 This is the scene right now.
1:40 It's pandemonium.
1:43 huge entourage including security, the their camera crews,
1:50 jinsa, jinsa, jinsa, that means police.
1:52 The police, we got the popo.
1:55 Got to get out of here.
1:55 We got to get out.
1:56 We got to go.
1:56 We got to go.
1:57 All right, we're on the move.
1:59 I'm in the follow car now.
2:00 So, apparently they found a parking structure that we're going to try to go to.
2:04 So, S has been up since 4:00 a.m.
2:06 So, he's very tired and that's why he's taking a nap.
2:10 Sheesh.
2:10 Look how beautiful this is.
2:12 Look at those kind.
2:13 This is so pretty.

3:01 Look how many people are here.
3:03 If you guys are thinking that I actually enjoy this, I do.
3:06 I think this is hilarious.
3:08 But I feel bad for S also.
3:10 He's just going to get mobed.
3:11 Dude, can't even see the car.
3:16 This is lit.
3:30 This is actually crazy.
3:32 We have to have guards over here.
3:35 That is so insane.

3:39 Song's out of the car.
3:41 That's so crazy.
3:43 Look what you did.

3:53 You know this show is for you, Larry.
3:56 This time is for for you and me.
3:58 I thought it was for Song, bro.
4:00 No, I don't.
4:01 Song was Song was a surprise, right?
4:03 Song is a surprise.
4:04 It's a It's a Yeah, it's a weird surprise.
4:07 Yeah.
4:08 Okay.
4:08 So, I'm excited cuz we're actually going to check out the show.
4:11 This is something I was looking forward to all day.
4:15 Yeah.

4:16 So, let's go.
4:17 Let's go.
4:17 Let's go.

4:29 Welcome to Sanjan.
4:31 I'm glad to be here.
4:32 Okay, now everyone's going to be disappointed.
4:37 Sorry guys, Sun's gone.
4:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:40 Sorry guys.
4:41 Sorry guys.
4:41 Sorry guys.
4:51 Wait, what?
4:52 You got a S.
4:53 You got a S800?
4:55 It's not mine.
4:55 It's my friend.
4:56 A big fan of
4:57 Oh my god.
4:59 Big fans.
5:00 Oh wow.
5:01 The sons big fans.
5:02 Yeah.
5:02 And you got a like a almost like a Fuguzzi clone driver, you know.
5:08 That is so cool.
5:10 That's really cool.
5:12 I don't think I had a proper introduction to this video.
5:16 So, I'm in Shinjzhin with Daniel Wu and Sunang,
5:22 and we're here for the cool car show,
5:24 but we wanted to check out some of the local culture.
5:27 So Simon from Simon's garage, he built this crazy underground lit literally
5:35 underground parking structure with a bunch of stores
5:39 and it looks like a street and it's it's just like this car culture
5:44 area where a lot of businesses have opened up to promote car culture and it's
5:51 just a safe place to hold meets and they have like a sim area here.
5:56 They have a restaurant.
5:57 They have a hooku lounge.
5:59 This is something that is so special.
6:01 I'm just so happy that something like this exists.
6:05 I have to say, guys, I'm having a lot more fun seeing
6:10 this and experiencing this versus being at the show.
6:14 And honestly, that's often the case.
6:16 A good example is Tokyo Auto Salon, right?
6:18 During the show, it's fun.
6:20 It's cool to see people and it's cool to see the newest builds,
6:24 but it's after the show's over.
6:26 When we're going on cruises and we're going to underground meets,
6:29 that's when it's the most fun.
6:31 Car culture in China is in full swing.
6:34 It's nothing like what I experienced before.
6:51 They really do like their Gundam liveries out here.
6:54 Holy crap.
6:56 You are such a showoff.
6:59 Look at this.
7:00 Nice car,
7:05 Stagia.
7:04 I like it.
7:05 Wait, is it a Is it a 260?
7:10 Oh, it's for drifting.
7:12 Drift car.
7:18 Yeah.
7:16 I like that drift car.
7:19 Let me see this.
7:21 Sick.
7:25 I kind of like it.
7:26 I like the R34 front.
7:27 I think it looks kind of cool.
7:29 Oh my god, this is so cool.
7:34 This is your car.
7:36 Yeah, it's my car.
7:37 I like it so much.
7:38 It's so cool.
7:40 I like it.
7:44 Oh, buddy.
7:46 Dual plates, too.
7:47 Got the Hong Kong and also the mainland China plate.
7:53 Sick.
7:55 Car culture is alive and well here, guys.
7:58 Oh my goodness.
8:00 That is awesome.
8:02 This spot is unbelievable.
8:06 This spot is so cool.
8:07 It is legitimately underground car culture here.
8:12 How would you know that this place exists?
8:15 This is so cool.
8:20 Too cool.
8:23 Look at that.
8:24 That is beautiful.
9:04 What the hell?
9:08 Are you serious?
9:13 What the?
9:16 Look at this.
9:18 So, this is a simulator area.
9:21 And then as soon as you walk out here, this is crazy.
9:34 They brought out this Honda S800 because they
9:36 know Daniel is a big fan of these cars.
9:38 And then of course they brought a fuguzi.
9:41 But unfortunately Daniel already flew out and S as you guys saw just got mobbed.
9:47 So he didn't he couldn't even breathe.
9:49 He couldn't even get out of the car.
9:51 So that's kind of the effect that he has on everybody.
9:57 Look, they got this crazy like Volvo Unimog looking thing.
10:01 Hello.
10:04 As decoration.
10:06 We got Rob here.
10:07 Man, listen.
10:09 Larry, this is lit.
10:11 I appreciate the in mother.
10:16 It's like a biker bar slash hangout slash outside inside area,
10:24 but it's underground.
10:25 It's a full-on bar.
10:27 They got hookah going here.
10:29 This is a vibe.
10:30 And then they have this as the backdrop.
10:32 I keep saying it, but it's unbelievable that a place like this can survive.
10:36 It makes me so happy.
10:37 I honestly had no idea what to expect going
10:40 into this and I'm so glad Simon showed us his place.
10:45 Now I just have a different perspective on Chinese car culture.
10:48 Honestly, now we're going to go to sleep because it is
10:51 very late and then I'll see you folks in the next vlog.
