Kinja'd!!!

Not sure he’s going to get the $35,000 he had in mind, and the comments section hasn’t been the most pleasant of interactions.

It was weird experiment of his in general. He didn’t make as many videos as I thought he would, and he only drove it 1,200 miles.

Do you think they’ll catch it if I make a bid in Rubles?

I’ve got a pocket full of Rubles.

You could buy HoneyBunchesofGoat’s half bottle of gin with that much!

That’s, what, $12.50 at the current exchange rate?

In his defense, it kept breaking. In his non-defense, his Type R review was still terrible.

When I went to Russia, that was $300, I had like 10,000 Rubles.

I would trade him my Soul and promise to record myself using this for courier deliveries. Seems fair.

Being mean to Doug is a quirk and feature resulting from him liking the NSX when memes said it was the worst car ever. /s

He’s got non-matching tires on a Viper. Whatever price he gets for it is too much.

Honestly, I’m not really a Doug guy. Like he buys this car, its this whole big production, and then he puts 100 miles a month on the thing. Who the shit cares? Buy something cool and daily drive it for a year, then maybe I’ll care.

Sounds about right.

While the new (and last) Viper is now sorted out if you believe automotive writers and testers, this thing has to be a chore to drive and difficult to live with. Not sure where they got the frame from, or how it’s sprung, but I’m guessing it’s barbaric to live with day-to-day. That’s my guess, and it’s only that .... He’s probably tired of seeing it in his drive.

I was really disappointed with his coverage of this car. Very bland compared to the Vantage and 360

That was what he used to do, kind of... He’s been buying and selling cars with much more frequency. I think he owned his s-Cargo for about 37 minutes, and his hummer for 87 for partial weekends.

The Hummer was a real shame, because he did stupid fun stuff with it. Running over the PT Cruiser, racing it...he could have done more if he kept it longer.

It seems like as his star got bigger he kinda distilled his act to make it extra Dougish. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, I don’t dislike him at all, but I’m not as into him as I used to be...same thing that happened to me with Bill Simmons when he got huge and also totally stopped writing about anything but basketball.

Probably the receivers because they’re mainly white.

You can get two Mig-29s with that.

I hope he doesn’t sell the defender.

An unanswered letter kind of answers itself. He might not have had much positive to talk about. The lack of reviews and the quick dump of the car is about the most honest review you could ask for.

A wedding ceremony there costs about $800. Families/guests included and everything. Please don’t ask how I know this.

I don’t need to be “friends” with the KGB or be annexed like Crimea.

That’s actually pretty low for a gts. An rt? no.

So tempted to save for one of these.

He could always buy a clean USDM DC2R. If there are any left.

I like Doug and appreciate his humor, sad to see his Viper go. He never really did anything with it unfortunately.
