@@jackdren9974 Haha I think the Doug Score falls into a category of things in life I call "So Bad It's Good." At first I hated the Doug score, I agree that is makes no sense. But because Doug is a quirky & fun guy, it works because once I have the expectation that it's bad I go in wondering what random number he will assign cars and just laugh at it.
absolutely one of the parts of Doug's success is his personality, I'm sure many of the subscribers who watch most everything he does share his curiousity and love for cars and seeing them in depth inside and out and that shared passion connects a lot of people to his videos
Big time congrats and love for the new channel, looking forward to much more entertaining and technical and hilarious episodes that get my mental gearbox going. Nothing but love to everyone involved.
58:00 The reason why we like to watch Doug so much is because the format makes you show the real ownership of an un obtain able car (for a lot of us anyway). And through him, we see what it would like to actually own a car. The quirks and features are known only to owners. And that contributes to the momentary ownership experience
This is it for me exactly. Car reviewers, if they complain about anything, always complain about something you would only care about if you tracked the car on the weekends. Doug actually shows things I might actually take an interest in (or have a problem with!) if I were to TRULY ACTUALLY REALLY own the car.
that's not the reason though. the reason for his success is he pleases the algorithm. matt is producing videos for drivers, doug idk anyone can watch his videos driving is a very small part of his videos. the most successful german YT channel is the one which people who don't even like cars watch, I think it's the exact same with doug. you can watch dougs videos without caring about driving at all, without even caring about cars just to see some quirks and features of your favorite status symbol, but the same audience wouldn't have a clue how to enjoy one takes on perfect roads even a part of the customers of the cars which matt reviews won't be able to enjoy one takes because they just want to own that car they don't care how it drives I used to think the same way if I got rich I would have simply bought an LP640 and it wouldn't matter if it drove like crap. the TST one takes are for people who not only appreciate the fast/unique cars but who also enjoy driving. and that's only a small part of the YT audience. it's mostly kids, people who don't even like cars, people who think cars are status symbols, I think drivers are a minority here. it's funny how matt said "maybe I don't interact with the viewers enough" or something like that because he's one of the only people on this platform who actually produces content which the viewers want instead of producing content that makes money or mainstream content to reach a wider audience. it's the top gear syndrome - top gear wasn't really a car show it was a comedy, traveling and shenanigan show and the car reviews and stig laps were the side dish. that's why they became the most successful show, most of their audience wasn't even into driving and didn't care that much about cars.
I know that this is not going to be popular, but the ability to sit with my kids and watch a video that is not just filled with profanity is a huge part of why I love Doug. His enthusiasm is just infectious, he loves what he doesn’t I love that too.

Plus aftering being hit by a buick when i was 17. Your input while having a bad back as well has told me a lot of info i like to know. Keep doing what you do.
Doug is that guy that you can have as a guest in your barbecue party. It's that guy that everyone loves and as soon as he arrives, someone will say "Hey Doug, I'm glad you came!!!" while getting him a beer. And if you are a car guy, it's that friend that you will text him asking how do you lower the back seats of your weird rental car that you got in France, and he will tell you the trick about it straight away. It would be a pleasure to meet you Doug. Same as Matt. They both seem to be very cool guys
I'll tell you why Doug has taken off. TH-cam has LOVED him for years. At one point, every car video I watched on TH-cam was followed by a Doug Demuro video. Every Single One. I was so annoyed I made sure not to watch them. I gave in eventually and he does create great videos.
No clickbate titles, what you see is what you get.. no swearing, family friendly, informative, non-political... TH-cam / advertisers dream for a content creator.
Doug brought a comedic value to his videos which is why I think he blew up. They're beyond just car videos, they're entertainment.

"When was the last time you saw a Maxima SE with a manual gearbox in operational condition" Funny story. I just recently bought a 1995 Maxima SE in Ruby Pearl with a manual gearbox back in March from of all things... the original owner (an older lady) who bought it new in 1995. Garage kept it's entire life, body and paint are in great shape minus 25 years of use, interior is nearly immaculate, virtually no rust except for the rad support (basically rust killed these cars). Car had 227k miles on it when I bought it and was still on the original clutch which me & my friend have since verified after replacing the clutch (clutch had Nissan stamped on it lol). The lady who owned this car should give master classes in how to drive a manual, because the clutch still had life left on it (what would have gone on the clutch was the springs), the flywheel was absolutely spotless (my friend just lightly sanded it). Car runs and drives way better than it has any right to and the lady who owned it gave me 10 years of repair bills along with the original window sticker in perfect condition (I nearly fell on the floor when she showed me). She was going to donate it to charity, but I got the car for $700. Best $700 I ever spent!
Props to you guys for ending the video that way the you guys did. Not a fun matter to talk about but is real. I love to hear y’all’s opinion about the matter and I have now mad respect to you all 3. Thank you!!!
I was amazed hearing them talk about how Doug interacts with commenters. I've been subscribed to him for at least 3 years and have never seen one of those hearts in the comment threads on youtube that shows that the uploader got involved in a thread. To me it's as if he's never ever looked. Maybe it's only on twitter.
I've seen that a few times, but he doesn't interact with youtube comments that much and I don't blame him for that (half the comments are always the same overdone "doug the type of guy" jokes). He's much more active on instagram, facebook, twitter, and reddit. I don't comment on his facebook posts much and I've still gotten a reply from him a few times.
@@WillieWonka928D Matt is pretty active on reddit. Usually he checks the thread and posts a few times when a video goes up if there is some interesting conversation brewing. Albeit less-so these days, but still.
Once on reddit I wrote a small criticism after watching one of his videos (I think it was complaining about Doug focusing on the infotainment system for a third of the video). Others started to respond in agreement. To my surprise Doug showed up commenting. He didn’t really directly address my criticism. But wouldnt you know, the infotainment sections of his vids got way shorter right after that :)
@@sleep_sounds I actually felt bad, because I love his videos, but on two ocasions I criticized some of his takes (well mannered opinion, no attacks or anything while acknowledging his good work) and the dude responded like twice on every comment, like a genuine conversation, he explained his points, I said mine and it was incredibly pleasant. Kudos to Doug, that kind of interacion is pretty much unseen on the Internet.
I know it’s a car channel, but we shouldn’t ignore what’s happening right now. White privilege is real even if you don’t come from money and police haven’t been kind to you. I’ve never been tazed but I have several ethnic friends who have
Ill probably get crucified for this but I think Id be more likely to listen to Matt's podcast if he could match his interviewee's language better. Love the content, could do without the "f" bombs and sexual references. might be part of the reason he isnt getting as many views. limiting his viewers due to his choice of language. Just a thought.
Doug’s dead on about that Civic and the rest of our high school cars. I think it’s safe to say that you guys, and evidently that Civic buyer, got to your money years sooner than your peers. The rest of us are years or maybe even a decade behind being in position to go out and buy our childhood or high school dream cars. We’re just scratching the surface right now.
Sorry Matt & Zack for the "Doug is the Type of Guy" Joke... But Doug is the type of guy to not untangle his earbud cord...(I'm OCD and his cord tangle is driving me nuts!)... And as I type, Doug is discussing negative comments...lol Love y'all!
Followed both of you for years, been binging TST podcasts as of late but this was my first time watching the video and it is great! I love how real the two of you are, it has honestly made me like TST even more.
Matt, I watched you before I started watching Doug. If you want my layman opinion, your loss of viewers (or numbers lower than Doug) may be due to your decision to stop doing regular one takes. People like to see you guys reviewing and driving cars and Doug consistently does that and you made a business decision to get away from making as many of those videos.
you can only chase the volume model for so long. When that model is dependent on your physical and mental labor, eventually you hit a wall. 800 videos in 2 years was that wall. it is what it is. and BTW, i've made at least one video a week with new press cars for like 8 months now.
“Price is firm. Ask me for any money off and I’ll hang up. Plain and simple. I would drive this car anywhere and won’t tolerate any b*****it!” Have seen so many ads like this lol!
Doug provides a simple video looking at the small details and I stopped watching Matt because he just seemed to have a negative attitude with shit load of advertising and just driving cars up and down the road, which is something every other car reviewer does
After that ending I have a new level of respect for you guys. I wish there were a lot more people out there in positions of authority with your outlook regarding overzealous corrupt race inspired enforcement police.
I feel there are two major things that are the difference between Doug and Matt and why Doug's metrics are out-performing Matt by so much. Firstly, as Doug mentioned, his content isn't just for car people because he makes sure there is an entertaining/comedic element to his videos, less so now than a few years back but it definitely still there, compared to Matt's style which is always serious and about car guy details. Secondly, personality plays a huge part - Doug seems like a super approachable, funny guy which is liked by a broad range of viewers because he's so easy to watch, whereas Matt can come across as a bit brash and arrogant which won't bring non-car people back. As an example, if I'm watching youtube in bed, my girlfriend will almost always pause what she is watching and listen when she hears Doug's voice - can't say that about any other car youtuber.
Wow!!....I was really enjoying this show but now I’m giving it a BIG thumbs down for the way the show ended. I know Matt was drinking and maybe his mouth became loose. I have been listening, watching and sharing The Smoking Tire (and other car shows) for years because I can escape from the trash talk and biased opinions of the general media. When I go to a music concert I don’t want the performer’s personal opinions. It ruins the experience. Doug Demuro has enough sense not to have diarrhea of the mouth because he knows it may affect his viewership. The Smoking Tire crew should stick to talking about cars and car culture and keep your personal political and social opinions to yourselves. Doug Demuro kept it classy. Matt Farrah lost a lot credibility. Zack... No fault towards you. You do what you have to do to keep your job. I’m probably going to reconsider my loyalty to The Smoking Tire.
Take the Joe Rogan Model. Cut all that stuff out of your life not worth it. And you can probably get your news from other places. Love the podcast! looking forward to the new studio. cheers gents.
What sets apart Doug’s channel from others is he gives a detailed intro to vehicles one otherwise hasn’t seen, from a “tire kicking” perspective. That and he does have an engaging personality. Interesting cars, interesting “quirks and features” and an interesting personality.
I'll tell you right now why Doug gets so many views: FORMAT and CONSISTENCY. People know what they're going to get and he gets into all the weird little details that car guys love. It's both super nerdy and esoteric but also very widely appealing to a huge spectrum of car people.
I met Matt once at C&C and it didn’t come to me that, that was his lambo. I was driving a beat up 733i and so when I left I saw the red lambo leave so I followed and looked who was in it and there was Matt. So I followed him to a coffee shop and we talked a bit about cars. He was very impressed with the fact of the condition of that 733i for the price I paid for it. So much so that when a 3.0 CS came in to the same shop he laughed at that guy and said you could have had one of these for cheap. And I’ll have to meet Doug in the future. I hope I run into Matt and Doug in the future.
Love you, Doug! I literally never, ever, miss your content. You're genuine, consistent your format is absolutely for Matt. Hahaha! Keep on keepin' on, Doug! Also, I guess Matt is pretty cool too. Haha!
Best Car Podcast in recent years. I actually laughed out loud multiple times during this. Such an interesting take on everything automobile. With all the Quirks and odd features of the decisions of car manufacturers. Five stars.
Hey Matt, Always loved the content. You were the early trailblazer and still producing great content and as a member of the car community I just wanted to say I appreciate your time and effort over the years that you have put into videos. Good luck with the car storage/club, I hope it is successful and look forward to seeing the cars stacked high.

For those that don't know, a Phaser is a common engine part. It's placed between the Camshaft timing chain sprocket and the Camshaft, to change it's timing relative to the Crankshaft, and to the Exhaust Cam on a DOHC engine. Which is referred to as Cam Phasing. Here are some examples of engines that use this technology: Honda i-VTEC Toyota VVT-i and VVT-l Nissan N-VCT / VVL Infiniti CVTCS / VVEL BMW Vanos Porsche Variocam Ford Ti-VCT / VCT General Motors DCVCP Fiat MultiAir To name a few...
I genuinely believe Doug is so successful because in his videos you can see his genuine excitement about the cars he's looking at. Something like that which cannot be faked keeps people interested. Just a genuine guy talking about the details that interest him but are generally ignored by 99% of the world.
Aww - the S10 Blazer - My father had one of those, with the 4.3 V6 - The biggest V6 engine in any car! - He loved it so much he even replaced the motor after the first one took a shit.

1:53:50 Dude same. I am so over black wheels now.. I used to lovveee them when I was younger, like from 2005-2014 I loved black wheels.. they got so over done. I still like some black wheels.. but they need some silver, gold or accent color to go along with it, the entire wheel being black is played out for sure.
“Not with that attitude”. Get out from that sour umbrella while you can Zach your viewers can’t afford to talk like that and I’m sure you can’t either.
I Just wanted to make Matt aware that I stopped watching his channel when he started with the in video advertising, simply because my time is valuable and I live in Spain so the ads are not relatable, also I pay for TH-cam Premium so I dont have towaste time with ad,s. I have noidea how mny others are the same way.
I like that Matt isn’t afraid to speak on what’s real. Joe Rogan has opinions on shit he doesn’t know anything about but he’s not afraid to speak his mind and I respect that
i've never specced a car but it's weird that people need to write about it rather than just spec their cars, that;s what makes it feel more for showing off rather than for personal taste (what wud b more personal than 100% ur spec?) so as Matt said wud definitely b of interest to a buyer but the way ppl r doing it makes me side more towards Doug's take
you know ya don't have to use jets to fly across the country. also, me and my friends grew up harrassed by police and my dad taught me how to talk with police. you're a car enthusiast and dont know cops harrass all races and ages because they're power hungry?

I was amazed hearing them talk about how Doug interacts with commenters. I've been subscribed to him for at least 3 years and have never seen one of those hearts in the comment threads on youtube that shows that the uploader got involved in a thread. To me it's as if he's never ever looked. Maybe it's only on twitter.
He's on Reddit r/cars pretty much any time his stuff is posted
I've seen that a few times, but he doesn't interact with youtube comments that much and I don't blame him for that (half the comments are always the same overdone "doug the type of guy" jokes). He's much more active on instagram, facebook, twitter, and reddit. I don't comment on his facebook posts much and I've still gotten a reply from him a few times.
@@WillieWonka928D Matt is pretty active on reddit. Usually he checks the thread and posts a few times when a video goes up if there is some interesting conversation brewing. Albeit less-so these days, but still.
Once on reddit I wrote a small criticism after watching one of his videos (I think it was complaining about Doug focusing on the infotainment system for a third of the video). Others started to respond in agreement. To my surprise Doug showed up commenting. He didn’t really directly address my criticism. But wouldnt you know, the infotainment sections of his vids got way shorter right after that :)
@@sleep_sounds I actually felt bad, because I love his videos, but on two ocasions I criticized some of his takes (well mannered opinion, no attacks or anything while acknowledging his good work) and the dude responded like twice on every comment, like a genuine conversation, he explained his points, I said mine and it was incredibly pleasant.
Kudos to Doug, that kind of interacion is pretty much unseen on the Internet.
I love how Doug just stayed silent while Matt when on his white privilege rant. This is why Doug is successful, Matt.
Agreed. I watch car videos to avoid politics
I know it’s a car channel, but we shouldn’t ignore what’s happening right now. White privilege is real even if you don’t come from money and police haven’t been kind to you. I’ve never been tazed but I have several ethnic friends who have
@@nathanchildress5596 white privilege is not real. It’s call good decision privilege.
They never addressed the huge elephant in the room... why isn't he wearing two shirts?
Ill probably get crucified for this but I think Id be more likely to listen to Matt's podcast if he could match his interviewee's language better. Love the content, could do without the "f" bombs and sexual references. might be part of the reason he isnt getting as many views. limiting his viewers due to his choice of language. Just a thought.
Man! That was an awesome show Y'all.
Can't wait to see the new studio!
The private jet segment is one of the best moment from all the podcasts you've ever done!
Zach was waiting for that “THISSS”.
Doug’s dead on about that Civic and the rest of our high school cars. I think it’s safe to say that you guys, and evidently that Civic buyer, got to your money years sooner than your peers. The rest of us are years or maybe even a decade behind being in position to go out and buy our childhood or high school dream cars. We’re just scratching the surface right now.
Matt of Obsessed Garage bought that. It was his THE car in High School.
Sorry Matt & Zack for the "Doug is the Type of Guy" Joke...
But Doug is the type of guy to not untangle his earbud cord...(I'm OCD and his cord tangle is driving me nuts!)...
And as I type, Doug is discussing negative comments...lol
Love y'all!
Yes! I rewatched the old one twice trying to find this. Thought I was going crazy
You're crazy man.
Followed both of you for years, been binging TST podcasts as of late but this was my first time watching the video and it is great! I love how real the two of you are, it has honestly made me like TST even more.
thanks! Welcome to the video side!
Matt, I watched you before I started watching Doug. If you want my layman opinion, your loss of viewers (or numbers lower than Doug) may be due to your decision to stop doing regular one takes. People like to see you guys reviewing and driving cars and Doug consistently does that and you made a business decision to get away from making as many of those videos.
you can only chase the volume model for so long. When that model is dependent on your physical and mental labor, eventually you hit a wall. 800 videos in 2 years was that wall. it is what it is. and BTW, i've made at least one video a week with new press cars for like 8 months now.
LMAO the private plane part had me rolling on the floor. Matt said "PJ's" love you guys
“That’s almost a show of bad faith” lmao 🤣😂
50k for an unmolested Honda Civic Si...
Ad starts -
"I know what I got"
“Price is firm. Ask me for any money off and I’ll hang up. Plain and simple. I would drive this car anywhere and won’t tolerate any b*****it!” Have seen so many ads like this lol!
I want Doug to review a Morgan Three Wheeler
Doug provides a simple video looking at the small details and I stopped watching Matt because he just seemed to have a negative attitude with shit load of advertising and just driving cars up and down the road, which is something every other car reviewer does
The bald guy is so jealous of Doug lol
I remember seeing a Ford GT for sale with only 3,000 miles in 2007 or 2008 at a Ford dealership in Sacramento for $120,000😵
After that ending I have a new level of respect for you guys. I wish there were a lot more people out there in positions of authority with your outlook regarding overzealous corrupt race inspired enforcement police.
Honestly Doug deserves a Carrera GT aka nothing but the best! Such a genuinely great guy!
The three amigos Doug, Jay , and Matt makes some of the best car reviews
I feel there are two major things that are the difference between Doug and Matt and why Doug's metrics are out-performing Matt by so much. Firstly, as Doug mentioned, his content isn't just for car people because he makes sure there is an entertaining/comedic element to his videos, less so now than a few years back but it definitely still there, compared to Matt's style which is always serious and about car guy details. Secondly, personality plays a huge part - Doug seems like a super approachable, funny guy which is liked by a broad range of viewers because he's so easy to watch, whereas Matt can come across as a bit brash and arrogant which won't bring non-car people back. As an example, if I'm watching youtube in bed, my girlfriend will almost always pause what she is watching and listen when she hears Doug's voice - can't say that about any other car youtuber.
Wow!!....I was really enjoying this show but now I’m giving it a BIG thumbs down for the way the show ended. I know Matt was drinking and maybe his mouth became loose. I have been listening, watching and sharing The Smoking Tire (and other car shows) for years because I can escape from the trash talk and biased opinions of the general media. When I go to a music concert I don’t want the performer’s personal opinions. It ruins the experience. Doug Demuro has enough sense not to have diarrhea of the mouth because he knows it may affect his viewership. The Smoking Tire crew should stick to talking about cars and car culture and keep your personal political and social opinions to yourselves.
Doug Demuro kept it classy. Matt Farrah lost a lot credibility. Zack... No fault towards you. You do what you have to do to keep your job.
I’m probably going to reconsider my loyalty to The Smoking Tire.
Take the Joe Rogan Model. Cut all that stuff out of your life not worth it. And you can probably get your news from other places. Love the podcast! looking forward to the new studio. cheers gents.
This is the best episode of the podcast that I’ve listened to so far. Bravo, gentlemen! 👏🏼
What sets apart Doug’s channel from others is he gives a detailed intro to vehicles one otherwise hasn’t seen, from a “tire kicking” perspective. That and he does have an engaging personality.
Interesting cars, interesting “quirks and features” and an interesting personality.
I'm going to move to San Diego with the sole purpose of becoming best friends for Doug...
It's amazing they talked about Saabkyle. Kyle is for everyone. You want to buy a car just watch his review. love him.
Hanging out with you guys would be amazing. Love listening to the open discussion and all the crazy stories. Hope everyone is staying well!
I'll tell you right now why Doug gets so many views: FORMAT and CONSISTENCY. People know what they're going to get and he gets into all the weird little details that car guys love. It's both super nerdy and esoteric but also very widely appealing to a huge spectrum of car people.
One of the best shows ever. Keep up the good work Matt and team.
I met Matt once at C&C and it didn’t come to me that, that was his lambo. I was driving a beat up 733i and so when I left I saw the red lambo leave so I followed and looked who was in it and there was Matt. So I followed him to a coffee shop and we talked a bit about cars. He was very impressed with the fact of the condition of that 733i for the price I paid for it. So much so that when a 3.0 CS came in to the same shop he laughed at that guy and said you could have had one of these for cheap. And I’ll have to meet Doug in the future. I hope I run into Matt and Doug in the future.
Laughed so hard at the Italy plane smoking story! LOLOLOL
Never thought about it, but I like the decision to make a new channel. Will make it way easier to find the latest episode!
Doug, as long as there are new cars, you’ll have reviews, and we will definitely watch them
Love you, Doug! I literally never, ever, miss your content. You're genuine, consistent your format is absolutely for Matt. Hahaha! Keep on keepin' on, Doug!
Also, I guess Matt is pretty cool too. Haha!
Best Car Podcast in recent years. I actually laughed out loud multiple times during this. Such an interesting take on everything automobile. With all the Quirks and odd features of the decisions of car manufacturers. Five stars.
The video starts 4:10
My dad had a navy blue 2002 Maxima SE that was loaded, 6 spd manual, limited slip differential, bose audio, sunroof and leather. SO AWESOME.
The Top Gear thing is deep!! "How to unite car people and non car people"! This is why I love Doug. I currently don't own a car!! Lol
I'm happy the other guy didn't say much. Because when he did, hoo boy.
I remember when aircraft seats had ash trays in them.
Hey Matt, Always loved the content. You were the early trailblazer and still producing great content and as a member of the car community I just wanted to say I appreciate your time and effort over the years that you have put into videos. Good luck with the car storage/club, I hope it is successful and look forward to seeing the cars stacked high.
Dick Trickle did indeed smoke under caution. Kenny Wallace always said Dick Trickle ran on coffee and cigarettes. He carried a helmet bag and a briefcase to the track. In the briefcase was his stash of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Sponsor at the time was Miller High Life. Oldest NASCAR Rookie of Year at 48 years old.
Having a podcast channel is nice because for users because most things I don’t want notifications....but a live podcast? Yes please.
Made it over! Thanks Zack and Matt for years of great content!
Matt from Obsessed Garage bought that Civic Si. He is doing a build series on his channel to give away.
I most certainly enjoy One Takes but I see how people have to know to know.. Keep it up Matt the click baiters get a lot for literary 15 minutes of fame but the real deal folks get loyal followers
Thank you for having descent audio doug
350z had an enthusiast edition I think
For those that don't know, a Phaser is a common engine part. It's placed between the Camshaft timing chain sprocket and the Camshaft, to change it's timing relative to the Crankshaft, and to the Exhaust Cam on a DOHC engine. Which is referred to as Cam Phasing.
Here are some examples of engines that use this technology:
Honda i-VTEC
Toyota VVT-i and VVT-l
Nissan N-VCT / VVL
Infiniti CVTCS / VVEL
BMW Vanos
Porsche Variocam
Ford Ti-VCT / VCT
General Motors DCVCP
Fiat MultiAir
To name a few...
Tesla just updated their software to display the side cameras when in reverse. Makes seeing the curb very easy like you mentioned.
I genuinely believe Doug is so successful because in his videos you can see his genuine excitement about the cars he's looking at. Something like that which cannot be faked keeps people interested. Just a genuine guy talking about the details that interest him but are generally ignored by 99% of the world.
Aww - the S10 Blazer - My father had one of those, with the 4.3 V6 - The biggest V6 engine in any car! - He loved it so much he even replaced the motor after the first one took a shit. He had that S10 Blazer for decades as a work vehicle! I remember the Black exterior and Maroon interior like it was yesterday! - Man, I love shitty weird cars! Thanks for the feels!
We didn't have a Blazer, but we did have the 4.3 in an S10, if that engine wasn't the most reliable thing
THIS... is... Maestro Doug DeMuro...

Hondas are the best in my personal opinion. Those Xivic Si's were, are still amazing. Those B16B engines are friggen awesome. Turbo them and can get easy 500 whp out of them lol.
lol Wtf. At 10k per Hour for a Private Jet, I feel like you should straight up be able to do anything, jumping out of it, drinking, smoking, play video games, play on a Driving Sim Rig, whatever.. you should even be allowed to try to fly the damn thing in the co pilot seat 🤣
Matt knew it wasn't a brothel right? Yaaaa okk lol sure he didn't know lol. Just 1 question do yall normally carry 8 full unopened boxes of rubbers? And didn't mean Toyo rubbers? Lmao.
1:53:50 Dude same. I am so over black wheels now.. I used to lovveee them when I was younger, like from 2005-2014 I loved black wheels.. they got so over done. I still like some black wheels.. but they need some silver, gold or accent color to go along with it, the entire wheel being black is played out for sure.
FUCKING LOL. Doug living on cape cod, the tourists are here people are still vacationing.
Fun fact: Jess Goldblum was given an early ML after Jurassic Park 2. He still has it
“Not with that attitude”. Get out from that sour umbrella while you can Zach your viewers can’t afford to talk like that and I’m sure you can’t either.
I Just wanted to make Matt aware that I stopped watching his channel when he started with the in video advertising, simply because my time is valuable and I live in Spain so the ads are not relatable, also I pay for TH-cam Premium so I dont have towaste time with ad,s. I have noidea how mny others are the same way.
Lmao. Doesn't know why Doug is so much more successful. Proceeds to demonstrate exactly why at the end of the podcast..
I like that Matt isn’t afraid to speak on what’s real. Joe Rogan has opinions on shit he doesn’t know anything about but he’s not afraid to speak his mind and I respect that
Doug, I don't like black wheels either! Too many people have them, and honestly from far away just looks like more tire!
i've never specced a car but it's weird that people need to write about it rather than just spec their cars, that;s what makes it feel more for showing off rather than for personal taste (what wud b more personal than 100% ur spec?) so as Matt said wud definitely b of interest to a buyer but the way ppl r doing it makes me side more towards Doug's take
Oh shit, Doug graduate in 2006? I knew we were close in age but didn’t realize we graduated the same year lol😂
whats the point of not using iphones . Because you 100% can buy few dslrs and stremdesk for the price of freaking 6 iphones
you know ya don't have to use jets to fly across the country. also, me and my friends grew up harrassed by police and my dad taught me how to talk with police. you're a car enthusiast and dont know cops harrass all races and ages because they're power hungry?
