You know, when I read Doug’s stuff what interests me the most is the ownership experience. But since he’s been keeping all his stupid #dougcars for about a week a piece as of late, I’m losing interest at about the same rate he goes through cars.

He lost me when he left Jalopnik. I still follow him on Twitter & Instagram, but not as close as I use too.

I agree, Is much rather hear about the viper or the scargo as opposed to “why a mclaren us worth $200,000"

I’m almost more curious about that sweet 70's-ish van that you can only see half of. That is a trailer bed full of interesting things

Didn’t he just get it like 2 months ago?

Edit: OK, 4 months ago.

To me, this has been the best car he’s bought since I started following him in 2014.

My first thought is clearly the same as everyone else: How could he sell it so soon?!

He changes out cars too often. Clearly it’s mainly to generate more content to make money, but his followers are probably more like me and can’t relate to someone swapping really interesting cars this often.

It’s fine if he reviews cars, but he should really keep each long-term purchase car at least a year.

Whatever, my favourite S-Cargo owner was always Jeff Koch of Hemmings .

He mentioned in the twitter thread that the S-Cargo articles just weren’t getting any reads and it doesn’t make sense for him to own a vehicle for writing about that no one is really reading.

I guess that’s a good reason. I found it hilariously interesting to watch his video about and looked forward to his late-in-ownership-cycle videos about more weird stuff he found and what it was like keeping/driving it.

He mentioned in twitter that there just wasn’t any engagement with the posts about it. He’s in a different position now basically as EIC over at Oversteer, so as much as I’m sure he and some of us enjoyed that car, he has a duty to allocate his time and resources to things that are going to drive engagement.
