Podcast Doug and car guy Doug is way way better than used car salesman Doug.

I know this sub has cooled on him and Matt is well Matt but honestly this was one of the best car related listens for me this year.

I also love it when throttle house goes on smoking tire podcast.

    I stopped listening to Doug years ago for the fact he got so many obvious things wrong and passed them off as fact. Has that changed?

      In the last few years Doug has started making videos on the car market in general. Those are gold and he gets it right in a way I don’t see anyone else even attempting. Videos like what is the collector car market cap. Any of the videos discussing Ford’s decision to drop cars. There’s a playlist on the channel called garage talk. That’s where the talent is.

      The talent is not in his reviews. They’ve always been bad, shallow, inconsistent and worst of all he doesn’t know how to drive. I think he’s gotten big because children are YouTube’s largest audience and they love his channel. Luckily he’s continued to grow and capitalize on this success

        That, and watching him drive in heavy traffic and pretend to objectively review a sports car’s handling or acceleration. He’d be going in a straight line on the freeway and move the wheel a little, or take a right turn from zero as he talked about it lmao.

        Obviously a lot of people like his content but I didn’t think it was aimed at car enthusiasts.

          Clearly he drives it else where and is summing up his thoughts on a onetake highway jaunt
