Finding Another Perspective on YT Car Channels; Paging Stef. Stef to the Comments, Please.

I’ve had the realization that my YT automotive feed is almost exclusively white men. So aside from Rory over at AutoTrader UK, I am not getting much diversity in my car video entertainment.

Anyone have any people they recommend for people other than white dudes doing things with cars?

Also this is specifically for people on YT. I do not have the Gram, nor will I make an account there while it is owned by Fuckerzerg.

And also Nanna’s Garage if you don’t mind having to use Youtube’s auto-translate Closed Captions from Italian to English ....she’s Italian and restoring a classic FIAT 500, though she hasn’t had content for awhile because her workshop was broken into during Italy’s COVID lockdown and ALL her tools and equipment were taken, so she’s slowly building herself back up to work on her little 500 again:

Rich Rebuilds for sure. It’s a great, snarky channel. Rich started by rebuilding Teslas, and has since reached out to do an i8, Spark EV (trust me it’s good), and RS7. Nothing is sacred, everything will be roasted.

I like watching idrivea classic. What she does is very similar to Hubnut.

My favorite. Rich is hilarious with his little trollish jabs at the Teslarati. Musketeers? Whatever you want to call em.

Gotta listen close, though. Might miss a joke, throws them in there fast and sometimes very deadpan.

I’ve been watching sarah -n - tuned recently. Enjoying her Focus rally car content. On a related note... I’ve had long nails, and it is not conductive to working on cars :) glad to see she can do it, the amount of damage I’ve done is crazy. Still waiting for the one nail to grow back. ouch.

Her Focus is pretty cool! I keep my nails very short anyway, so they’ve never been an issue for me when doing the basic runofthemill stuff I do to my car! :)

Tavarish is Hispanic -Cuban, I think? Hoovie’s wife is Vietnamese, and she occasionally shows up in some of his videos, does that count?

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been enjoying her videos.
