The cops in Cali is forbidden to arrest homeless people who are thieving, robbing, breaking car windows and shop windows, using drugs and selling drugs even in broad daylight. They have to finance the cleaning of craps and urine on the sidewalks so they have to charge you. A rape victim in Seattle was even shamed and blamed for making the homeless look bad. That's liberalism for you.

Great story. I was 13 and I remember going to see the Blues Brothers with my older sister. I laughed harder than I had ever laughed. I think its time to watch it again.

I adore the "Blues Brothers" & found an old '74 Dodge Monaco ex-CHP car back in 1983 with 440, spotlight, push-bars & whip antenna, I painted it like the Bluesmobile back before it was popular, it was the ultimate fun road trip car for my friends & I after we finished high school. Of the 90 cars I've owned it was among my favorite!

As Sam Hard might say, "This guy is a legend."

Correction ... Paul Shaffer IS the Blues Brothers Band. Actually, the core of their band was the original SNL band. All of those musicians are regarded as the best of the best in Blues and Jazz circles. Guys like Donald 'Duck' Dunn and Steve Cropper started as studio musicians for Stax Records and played / recorded with everybody! Tom 'Bones' Malone has played everywhere from SNL, to The Last Waltz, to the Olympics and with everyone from Woody Herman to Frank Zappa. 'Blue' Lou Marini has worked with Buddy Rich, Steely Dan, Aerosmith and more and Alan ' Mr. Fabulous' Rubin is Juilliard trained and, again, has played and recorded with damn near everybody in the business.

Oh nice! I have always wanted to hear the story behind some of the antics these guys had with the blues mobile around Chicago. I remember when Travis drove through the wet mall. I saw a clip he posted in the mid 2000's of it. If I remember correctly. They were going to release a dvd called return to Chicago. In which they visited filming locations in the blues mobile. I looked for that dvd to order but never found it. Great story and legendary for him to recreate those scenes from the film (which is one of my favorites).

This guy knows how to live life

Be right back, gotta go test this theory by robbing a bank

One of my favorite scenes in blues brothers is when the nazis are yelling at the bridge and Elwood drives towards them and floors it. And then you hear the secondaries on the carb open up 😊

"We've done everything the blues brothers did" Including the throwing a conrod scene?. Impressive!.

I like how detailed this guy is about executing the events with the car. That's so cool

Listen to these on the commute everyday 👌👌

Vinwiki stories are Simply the Best. I always listened to the entire video.

Man the fact that scene where they were pushing 120mph under the elevated train bridge is 100 percent real still blows my mind they were even allowed to film that.

Great stories. Back when I worked for Cinema Vehicle Service in California, I had the opportunity to drive a lot of movie and television cars and except for a couple of instances, my stories aren't even in the same zip code as yours!

My grandpa had a blue brother’s replica police car when I was a kid. He had the cigarette packs on the dash and the massive siren on the top. He even had a blues brothers tribute bad where they sang all their songs from the movies and a lot of other classics, they would roll up the the gig in the car all dressed in suits a couple guys even wore the nun robes. Almost forgot the handcuffed suit case

Rea was one of my best friends. This story means so much to me. She always took of her friends. Ill always treasure that last hug.

This is definitely 1 of my favorite Vinwiki stories yet. I put it in the top 15 anyway for sure!

I bought that "return to blues" dvd off ebay, still have it. Still so appreciative that you guys made that.

Best story so far, but then I might be biased as I love that film so much. There's a pretty decent Bluesmobile in a town near me (Bedford, UK), I almost shit my pants with excitement the first time I saw it!

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

WOW! Great story. Talk about making your dream come true.

Just an awesome story....a good listen, thanks!

The image of flying down that street under the train while the cops are parading is SO Bluesbrothers. I can just imagine a shot of that parade scattering as a car chase cuts through it in some alternate reality.

This is a good one man, meaningful. Thanks for sharing!

At 12:37 that is in Milwaukee on the 794 bridge that was not completed yet. I remember that as a kid and people telling me that is where they filmed the car flip in the movie.

Great movie and a great story!

Travis sent me some pretty cool Blues Brothers memorabilia when I had my replica Bluesmobile and we were doing the Blues Brothers Tribute shows.

That movie was truly epic, I think the only other guy who busted up more police cars was Hal Needham.

Excellent! LOVE IT!

I've been a fan of The Blues Brothers as long as I can remember. I have a 2013 Interceptor named Elwood. I hope to be able to find a 74 Monaco but I'm not holding my breath. Absolutely wonderful story behind this cool car.

That's one of the best stories ive ever heard!!!

The Blues Brothers was the movie of my childhood. This was the movie where I "discovered" Carrie Fisher. And yes, I saw Blues Brothers before Star Wars...

"You never wanna wear out your welcome, driving in a mall." Noted! (c;

this is just awesome!

I loved this story. It was great.

I'm 40+ years old and I'd still love to at some point. Own an old Dodge Monaco and a Ford LTD. When I was pretty young. I had a nice 1980s full-size Caprice, so I love me them big four-door rearwheel drives.

Bless this man.

Not everything! Didn't jump the bridge opening 😉

Now that’s a great story!

Well I know what I'm watching tonight! Haha I love the blues mobile and would love to see the footage you took of your Chicago trip

That is incredible he got to do all of that. I think a new version of blues brothers needs to be made.

Well done Travis!

Now we need a list of which car will get u which city key ! Great story !

Best car story ever!

John Belushi would be proud!

Great Movie. I wasn't the craziest about the music. But it was good. But with good Sub the sound is great. But I absolutely loved the first movie with Belushi & Aykroyd. I feel it's underrated and not appreciated as much as other 80s Movie's. Like rarely any 90s kids like me or 00s have a clue what this film is. Amazing some Japanese fellas appreciate it. Epic

I have a friend that owns a replica of the blues mobile, although it's an Australian built Chrysler Valiant Regal instead!

You're my hero!

Great stuff

Love the videos

someday i will have my own bluesmobile. If i can ever find a 74 monaco that is

The produces bought the entire Chicago police fleet to make that movie. That's how they got all the city permits to make that movie. Some were repainted as Illinois State Patrol cars, but....

Now that’s some shrewd negotiating

Blues brother love it even as a 90s kid

Epic story. Always loved the movie but this was above and beyond. 👍🏻

My buddies friend built a perfect bluesmobile copy. Put creases where they where in the movie, painted identically, giant speaker on top that works, dash covered in stuff they would have had, all this done in 84. It was signed by everyone that worked on the movie and many other celebrities, signatures all over the interior panels. Dan signed for john as he died beforehand. They dress up as them and do shows. It was even on WWE at the Big Shows father funeral skit.

4:30 "if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation"

Great, great story!!!!!! I get irritated when I see a 1970s chevy sedan, or worse, an oldsmobile sedan, made into a bluesmobile. Who do they think they are fooling? Pier One Imports.

OMG! some guys were exploring this mall and there said: theres some tire marks here, who brought thier car to the mall?

That was a fantastic story about one of my favorite movies.

The blues brothers held the Guinness world record for most cars wrecked for a spell, until Smokey and the bandit 3 came out. I live about 20 minutes from Dixie Square, went there with my mom when I was a kid and it was still open. The owners actually sued the production company because they never paid for the damages to the mall.

You know if this guy and Arnie got together for this; it would be awesome, someone might go to jail, and it would be a story we love watching.

Lol I was just watching a video on the dixie square mall last night that showed some of your 2005 footage. How random this comes out today.
