To anyone saying Doug doesn’t have money: the man is wearing an Arc’Teryx down jacket. Please Google those if you don’t know what they are; otherwise, you know what I mean.

Doug has 1.2 million Youtube subscribers and went to Emory. He has money.

I’m still saving for one! Maybe he bought it for the bumper-bumper warranty.

*$600 retail or so. I just bought my first patagonia coat, $200 for a medium weight down puffer. So worth it though.

I know. I’m just saying for the people that don’t believe he does now that he’s a journalist. I can’t wait for when his New Balances wear out and he buys UltraBoosts or something.

His YT schtick alone has to be a pretty solid income. Add his other work to it, and I always had the feeling he wasn’t one of those blessed with student loan debt etc, yeah, he’s not a pauper.

Its predecessor was a stunning exercise in angles, this one is the same formulaic melted bar of soap as every other Merc today.

the tail end looks a little weird. doesnt flow as well with the rest of the car. I much prefer the previous gen wagon.

I’ve thought about copping an Arc’Teryx for clout for years. Unlike Patagonia, which sells a lot of stuff at 50% off, I can’t find a lot of cheap Arc’Teryx stuff. My Snap-T was only $59, but the downs were too much for me. I love their bright colors, though.

Patagonia is still very, very, good quality and is at the top tier of outdoor clothing, you can’t go wrong. I’ve never felt Arcteryx is worth the coin.

in fairness, it was as thin as a hoodie and kept me SWEATING in a minus 30 snow storm skiing. for 7 hours.

I hate over paying for shit. but quality is quality.

I remember reading about his perceived wealth a while back. But the number of times he said “if I could afford it” this video was really off-putting. Just how convincing are you trying to be there Doug?

The wagon is the evolved form of the sedan, but if its an ugly sedan to start...

HammerheadFistpunch > Under_Score
02/13/2018 at 17:59

I still can’t figure out their pricing model other than “why not”. That being said, when my wife has family come visit from norway they buy all that kind of stuff here. A $600 Jacket here is like a $1200 jacket there for some reason. They spent $4000 on outerwear last time they were here.

What a weird thing to focus on. I’m sure Doug is far from broke, but I can’t imagine any evidence of it less persuasive than the fact that he owns a nice coat. For all you know, it was a gift. Or maybe he got it on sale. There are a lot of people who own one or two expensive objects—a laptop, a cool pair of shoes, a nice purse, a nice coat, a smartphone with a big data plan, etc.—but otherwise live in poverty. I used to know a lot of ski bums who owned $5,000 in ski gear including one really good set of ski clothes, lived in cars that cost less than half that, and subsisted on, like, canned soup and Natty Ice. Doug isn’t one of them, obviously, but not because he has a nice jacket.

I wouldn’t call it downright ugly, but it’s the wagon + AMG that does it for me. I still prefer it to the really fat crossovers that Mercedes builds.
