- Hi, my name's Ian Ousley

2
00:00:01.230 --> 00:00:03.360
and this is "My First Car" with Jalopnik.

3
00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:06.270
We went to a used car
lot in North Hollywood

4
00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:07.470
and I picked myself

5
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:12.470
up a Fiat 500X Lounge from 2016.

6
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:16.170
I think it was 2019 at the time.

7
00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:19.020
That car is basically
not like the little Fiat

8
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:21.270
that you think of, it's
like a four-door Fiat,

9
00:00:21.270 --> 00:00:22.680
the weirdest thing.

10
00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:24.720
It sounded like a monster.

11
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.060
It was so dramatic, that little car.

12
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.200
But I actually really,

13
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:29.580
really enjoyed driving that car.

14
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:31.950
The worst thing that
happened to me in that car,

15
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:34.312
I'm sure that I had received a call

16
00:00:34.312 --> 00:00:35.760
that I didn't get a role

17
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:37.080
or something in that car.

18
00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:40.020
I take almost all of the
phone calls in the car,

19
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:41.190
even still now,

20
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.320
just 'cause that's like my favorite time

21
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.240
to talk to people, I guess.

22
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.010
Well, I sold it as soon as I got the role

23
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:48.750
because I went up to Vancouver,

24
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:50.640
British Columbia, Canada, to film,

25
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.260
and I didn't have a place to like put it

26
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:54.450
or anything 'cause I
didn't have my apartment

27
00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:55.530
anymore in LA.

28
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:58.176
So, yeah, it's still floating

29
00:00:58.176 --> 00:01:01.110
around you can only hope somewhere.

30
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:01.943
- [Cameraman] Now I'm thinking of like,

31
00:01:01.943 --> 00:01:03.600
your dad's like a Dodge guy.

32
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.433
- Yeah.
- [Cameraman] Like, "Yeah,

33
00:01:04.433 --> 00:01:05.370
I'm gonna buy this Italian,

34
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:06.420
like I'm gonna buy a Fiat."
- No.

35
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:07.967
- [Cameraman] Like, what was
your dad's reaction to that?

36
00:01:07.967 --> 00:01:10.140
- He was like, "How embarrassing.

37
00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:11.460
What have I done?

38
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:13.320
How have I raised this kid?"

39
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:15.207
You can watch "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

40
00:01:15.207 --> 00:01:16.312
on Netflix.

41
00:01:16.312 --> 00:01:18.895
(upbeat music)
