Car nuts?
I've recently discovered this guy on YouTube and I could waste hours. Unfortunately I don't have the time now so maybe you can waste them for me...

I also really like watching Hoovies Garage, who buys the cheapest variant of a particular car (e.g. RR Phantom, Ferrari Testarossa, Tesla model S) in the USA. He made some pretty funny videos and recently burned his F355 and blew the V8 ls swap engine in his 996 Porsche 911. |

Doug and Hoovies are fun to watch.
Honestly, a lot of the car guys on YT are annoying. “Oh, look how loud my exhaust is. I’m so cool.” |

I love his reviews. They're authentic and his humor is great. Love the quirks he finds in each car. Out of all the guys trying to make a buck on youtube.com with car reviews, Doug IMHO is the best one out there. Thank you for sharing!!

Did you see his latest on his Ferrari that caught fire? He did get close to $80K from the insurance company though. Not a bad ending. The Rolls Royce purchase in Chicago is a good one as well. What I like about his reviews is that he goes through all the pain and suffering for you. Cars to avoid pretty much.

Yep the wizard is cool, he fixes everything, not afraid to take on a Phantom or an old Ferrari.

I have been hooked on Jeep Wrangler content on YouTube lately. Forgot how addictive they were.

It got so much better over the years. I got into YouTube well over 10 years ago, but these days a lot of content is just better than cable TV, people are putting in so much effort. It is not the home video platform it used to be.

After watching a lot of DeMuros videos - he tends to be very repetitive of what he says about most cars once he starts driving them, without describing much of feedback that he gets from cars while he drives them. It's usually the same pattern of description that comes out in almost every review. While the interior/exterior quirks and all that is great for entertainment purposes, it's usually hard for me to understand what the car is really like.
I feel like one of the few reviewers that's able to parlay the driving experience properly is the Matt Farah of the Smoking Tire - much more insightful all around on the cars he drives. Give that a listen / watch. Shmee (along with others) are overly annoying. |
