They’re one step closer to being Doug DeMuro

God save their souls

One or both of them have to work at Porsche USA first.

At that point, do they still have souls?

No, but I think I'd take the money and Ford GT if presented with the choice

How many T oyota hatches do you think you would be able to buy when you flipped it?

I think I'd buy like three, and then light the rest of the money on fire, or continue paying for this home, same difference.

Most of us failed to make that critical choice, to be fair.

Sorry for my comment the other day— I thought you were on a FT gig over at The Drive. Didn’t realize.

Given your Parsch affinity, I had a couple of ideas/contacts in “the community” (which is admittedly broad and diverse) in LA if you’re interested in some thoughts.

I’ve got email on That Mail Service run by Google...

autoeroticar

if you want to hear a couple of ideas.

Good luck!

Somebody has to explain The Secret To Doug’s Success to me someday. I’m misty-fried...

Leverage your inheritance into Ferrari and Aston Martin ownership to build a following, then discover you can review cars on Youtube wit hout the expense of buying those cars. Or the expense of film production equipment. Daddy Doug does not shoot 8K raw with a RED Weapon

And all that can overcome the crippling affliction of being incredibly annoying? Wow.

I hate his videos almost as much as Scotty’s and Engineering Explained Jason’s .

I keep prodding them to hire me full-time and buy me a company Cayenne. In the meantime, my options are open until someone forks over the dough.

Thoughts away!

I’ve applied for sure, but not even parsh wanted me around. :’(

He’s *Very Wholesome* and does the broad appeal thing well. You can share those quirks and features with your mom without worrying about a surprise boner joke in the middle of the 1972 Cadillac DeVille ashtray light talk or whatever. Someone once used the phrase “the Dave Barry of cars,” and that feels extremely accurate. That same inoffensive appeal is a turn-off to others, though, so I get it.

(Super nice guy off the internets as well, FWIW.)

Oh, being an engineering-turn-business analyst at heart those “completely subjective-and- superficial but codified into FACT (because they have numbers!) scoring schemes” drive me nuts.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Of course we have the same thing, on a huge scale, here in SoCal where “opening” is driven by some numbers-driven- color-scheme that somebody dreamed up to try to dumb-down an immensely complex topic. Thus the local news will spend hours analyzing the county’s transition from “Purple” to “Red”.

“Er, somebody up in Sacramento just invented those, you know? I don’t care if the color’s fuchs ia, I’m still wearing a mask in the store, OK?”

Oh gosh, Jalopnik used to have numeric scores for reviews, and while it made for a hilarious horse review, it often didn’t convey the fact that some less modern or technologically impressive cars could be awesome as hell.
