I Turned my Bed into a Race Car!

every morning I used to order coffee and drink it in bed but I had to stop doing this because delivery fees have gotten so expensive that my $5 coffee now cost $20 just because I want to have it delivered to me so this got me thinking what if there was a way to get my morning coffee without having to leave my bed at all so here's my idea what if I take an ordinary bed put wheels and a motor on it and actually drive myself to get my coffee this way I don't have to spend any money in fees and I can still enjoy my morning coffee in bed how hard it be right now my current bed is way too heavy so it's going to be really hard to make it move I think we're going to need a smaller bed so I went on Amazon and bought the smallest bed frame I could find and later that day it arrived let's build a bed frame now my goal is to finish this by tomorrow morning which gives me just roughly around 24 hours to turn my bed into a car and take it to get my coffee tomorrow morning when Starbucks opens at least something finally came with instructions we don't need instructions well we actually did need them because we had no idea what we were doing but with the instructions fixed and the bed frame built a few minutes later it was time to pick up the rest of the supplies guess where we go to get those parts from Depot no what no I'm just kidding yeah that's where we're going I was shook so we went to Home Depot to get all the stuff we needed for the bed and here is the plan I want to get a piece of plywood that I can attach to the bottom of the bed frame then I can add Wheels To Each corner to make it move so we picked up the plywood some wheels and everything else we needed to make the plan work and after buying everything we headed back home to start creating the bed the first thing we did was measure the bed frame so we cut the plywood to make it fit exactly to our bed frame so to secure this bed frame to the board picked up these little hinges and the idea is they go on just like this to hold the bed frame in place and after 20 minutes of drilling yeah dud that solid the wood it's attached to the frame time to add the wheels and after around 15 minutes of drilling the wheels to the bed it was finally time to test it out ohud so our bed can move forward and backwards which is a great start but going back and forth is not drive now we got to find a way to make this drive so the best way I can think to do that is using an electric skateboard so once I attach this electric skateboard to the bottom of the bed I can make the bed go forward and stop whenever I want oh so we set up the bed frame on top of the electric skateboard and we realized a massive problem wheels don't touch the ground so we're going to have to buy bigger wheels so that they match the same height as the electric skateboard you know what that means I'm just going to get in the [Music] car so we went for another trip to Home Depot never just one trip huh never we then picked up the biggest wheels we could find and went back home and replaced the small wheels with the bigger ones all right we got the new wheels on now it's time to add the skateboard and after 10 minutes attaching the skateboard to the bed it was time to test it out to see if this even works um oh my God bro I'm so nervous yo bro this is so sick you want to try it yes you go be careful Nick okay dude that's insane ow all right besides this thing being extremely uncomfortable it freaking work here's the only problem the only way to steer it right now it's kind of by shimmying your butt left and right which really isn't logical so I need to find a way to steer this thing and I think I got the perfect idea a scooter let me explain so my idea is to take the scooter attach it to the bed frame this way I can turn whatever Direction I like thetical so to make this work we have to drill a hole in the plywood for the scooter handle to fit through so we can use it as a steering wheel the only problem is you ever used one of those no we hadn't we literally spent 1 hour failing trying to cut this hole like do it I'm going try a new technique so I spent the next 20 minutes drilling holes in the plywood and it actually worked boom that's one way to do it yeah now let's see if it fits can I say it go on that's what she said and the good news was it did fit but that created a whole new problem do you know what that's caught on the boosted board oh so we're have to move the board back but thankfully running into this problem saved us from a future problem that's forward we put it in the back so we flipped the booster board and moved it into the right place and now with the scooter fitting perfectly we drilled it to the bed and it was time to see if this bed would actually steer doesn't work still not touching the ground enough so we drilled this little wood block to the plywood so the scooter wheel could touch the ground and after a few minutes [Music] it's dear so this thing's finally starting to turn but because of the wheel on the scooter it's lifting these wheels up here so we're going to add a spacer right here to make these wheels touch the ground this thing's finally coming together so we spent the next 20 minutes adding the spacers to the front of the wheels and after all the previous failed attempts this had to work and thankfully it did I could actually steer this bed no way bro we just made a freaking car bed dude this is actually crazy and with the car bed actually working it was time to turn this bed frame into an actual bed so I went online and bought a comforter pillows and of course a mattress to actually turn this into a bed and until everything arrives we started cutting the wood to create the headboard how many likes for you to hang this one up in your room 20,000 likes I'll hang it in my room anything less you hang it in yours challenge accepted please for the love of God hit that like button now it's time to paint the headboard after 30 minutes of painting we finished drilling the headboard to the bed frame just in time because the mattress arrived and after 3 minutes of struggling to unroll this mattress here we go and we got our mattress but as soon as we put the mattress on the bed we realized we had a huge problem why is that so small no way I literally thought this was about to be the easiest part of the video I was not expecting the mattress not to fit the frame there's like a whole Gap here at least we don't have to go back the Home Depot for this one Home Depot starts selling mattresses and since I don't have enough time to order a new mattress to arrive by tomorrow morning I had to come up with a new plan all right so in our spare bedroom we actually have a twin bed in here the only problem is it's not mine it's one of our roommates I won't tell anyone if you won't tell anyone deal Kar you're stealing your mattress and after Nick getting the okay from our roommate we moved the mattress to the bed frame and it actually fit perfectly now we're talking dude the only thing we got to do is cut a hole in this mattress so that the scooter can poke through it and after cutting a hole in the mattress this crazy idea was getting closer and closer to actually working to finalize this car bed we added the bed sheets that looks wild and we even added this bed liner and pillows to make it look like a legit bed and just like that dude isn't this wild yo what is this my new bed car was finally complete this thing looks insane I'm not going to lie this might be one of my favorite things I've ever built whole thing is put together and the last thing to do is to test this out which I'm going to do bright and early tomorrow morning when Starbucks opens to finally get my C without leaving my bed this is nuts man and with night time finally here I was just one sleep away from achieving my ultimate goal blanket thank you you're [Music] welcome what are you doing I thought we were getting coffee in the morning Nick get out of my bed I will see you guys in the morning [Applause] n you still can't sleep here so after a good night's rest it was finally time to see if I can drive my bed to Starbucks to get my morning coffee [Music] coffee I was literally in my bed driving to Starbucks but as cool as this was it had never been on the actual road so if there was any bumps or rocks in my way this bed could easily break down and everything I had worked for for the last 24 hours could have been for nothing like we're drifting now as I drive my bed into the Starbucks drive-through line it would mean a lot if you guys would subscrib I've built so many things over the years and it's so cool to see all of your guys' support on everything I've done but enough sentimental stuff once I pulled my bed into the drive-thru line it started getting everyone's attention people were literally stopping what they were doing just to take pictures of this bed but now it's time for the the most important part of this video I was here at Starbucks for one reason and one reason only can I get a venty black to brew think you thank you and just like that I did it there is no better feeling in the world than literally driving your bed to get your coffee no this is good thank you have a great day I couldn't believe how amazing this thing turned out well I officially did it I can finally enjoy my morning coffee in my bed without thinking about any of those terrible delivery fees if you guys enjoyed this video watch another I'm going to watch another one on my race car bed go on click
