# If Tai Lopez Made Truck Videos

If you have a few spare moments the next time you’re on the shitter, the [Street Speed 717](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9MHqAoA-8KeNm8pgShRaw>) YouTube channel might be worth a look. I would attempt to describe the page's theme but the owner and host, Mike, dictates the direction so eloquently it’s best to quote him instead.

*“My name is Mike. I make car videos and put them on the internet. My Z06 is yellow. My Duramax is gray. Vlogs, builds,* *mexico* *street racing, and pretty much any other random video you can think of can be found here... Subscribe today!”*

**Street Speed 717**

Even though Mike has a couple cool toys and seems to genuinely enjoy them, it’s hard not to cringe watching the content. If he were a pre-teen it would make total sense but seeing that he’s a fully-functioning adult that describes a cold air intake as part of his engine build is painful.

****Tackling the treacherous terrain.*** , *Street Speed 717**

I’ve come across the Street Speed 717 videos a few times and typically give them a minute or so before ultimately deeming them less appealing than the Tai Lopez advertisement to the side and click on it instead. However, this particular video I just couldn’t leave alone.

****BOULDERS, bro.***, *Street Speed 717**

I’ve watched this particular video at least three times (after fast-forwarding to the actual truck content @ 6:15) and have finally decided it’s **not** a parody, this isn't a satire page and this Mike guy is dead ass serious. I would totally give him props if he was simply trolling all the genuine car guys out there and catering to the 11-year-olds who stole their parents iPhone to watch YouTube.

****Ah snap, I got my RIMZ DIRTY!***, *Street Speed 717**

Of course, I would be a complete hater if I didn’t mention that this jester has amassed quite the following. His channel has over 36 million total views and almost 300,000 subscribers that **intentionally** clicked the red *Subscribe* button. Props, Mike!

And without further ado, enjoy:
