Do you really expect an Emory grad to know how the 99% live?

Also, the sticker says to use gasoline of at least 91 RON, which is 87 “octane” at the pump.

This told me a lot about how much Doug actually knows about cars. Sure, he probably knows more about makes and models than I do, but he’s obviously very rarely had one apart himself. But then why would you with a Carmax (or other) warranty?

Yeah, but this guy drives AMs and Hummers.

The AM probably has a motor per blade, per direction. Just because.

The Hummer has the highly desirable portal wipers. The motor sits vertically, and uses a vertical wiper driveshaft and differential to transfer wiping power to the blades, for extra rain clearance.

He also worked for Porsche, had a CTS-V wagon, a Lotus Elise, an F430, a Skyline, a Nissan Cube, etc, etc, etc.

He oughta know better, or at LEAST do better research before committing jokes to video.
