Trading it in for the truck is the only reason I was able to see my now wife at all for weeks at a time, probably wouldn't be married if I hadn't done that. So not a mistake, just... I miss that car.

Kraftwerk posted:No offense to you or the rest of AI but over the years I’ve gotten the impression that AI hates all new cars. Full stop. And will never be satisfied until they can get a 6MT,all weather with a roof version of an Ariel Atom for $25,000 (which they’ll buy used 4-8 years later and spend more time tinkering with it in the garage than driving it). I dunno about the AI hivemind, but yeah, I'll own it. I hate the vast majority of new cars. They look like poo poo and are effectively disposable commuting appliances, or are priced like houses and still have the same build quality and interiors as the effectively disposable commuting appliances.

I've never really had a problem with him, most of his videos are ok, but that one was deliberately over the top like he was trying to piss someone off at Toyota for some reason. 100% serious. He's worse than Matt Farah and Jay Leno, and that's saying a lot.

I can even tolerate Brian from Regular Car Reviews when he's got an interesting car and finds his groove. Doug deMuro just pegs the ol' Annoying-Douche-O-Meter hard.

It's this for me, the only reason I watch him at all is because of the interesting cars, certainly not him. So I haven't really got to the point where he grates on me because I haven't really watched enough of them yet I guess. But the Avalon video was ridiculously over the top annoying

I like brand new cars with all the bells and whistles where everything is under warranty and I don't have to think about maintenance. I don't even change my own oil any more. Gimme that overstressed 500 HP turbo 6 on a lease and let it blow up for the next guy.

Doug is pretty annoying but I find some of the quirks and features interesting sometimes. Like most reviewers will talk about panel gaps and then how fast it is but he'd find some interesting stuff you'd only know if you owned the car for a while. This is especially true for weird-rear end Italian or Japanese cars.

Absolutely same, dude is pretty inoffensive if mildly annoying with some of the things he says but really he's just another car dude I successfully ignore except for when people talk about him. I don't subscribe to his channel and as such the only time I see videos are when people are complaining about him.

I think the real answer is that no one is going to judge them because that whole industry is going to rapidly die out as that generation does.

You hope you can find one on a dusty shelf somewhere and pay out the nose for it. Old cars are rare and expensive because the parts aren't around to keep them all running.
