The cars and bikes thread!

Yeah, that’s a pretty good overview and he presented it in a very digestible way. He’s very good; in the post-Top Gear era, he gives me hope for car TV.

But yes, that’s why EVs are so fast…and so boring.

There are 10 videos.

Screw top gear mate - throttle house, carwow, everyday driver, all much better

I’ve never heard of any of those, so I’m going to go ahead and wager that no, none of them are even close to Top Gear. Because every ****er on car YouTube thinks they can be the next Clarkson, but douchier.

Of you've never heard of any of them then you can't have an opinion on car youtubers frankly mate! Clarkson was funny for a few seasons then got boring. Check out throttle house

I’m not sure it is possible to be more douchey than Clarkson. Racism, misogyny, assault. He’s done it all in his career.

Top Gear was good in spite of Clarkson.

I will check them out…but some things you just know.


EDIT: I made it 11 minutes into their Nissan Z video. I’ve seen worse.

I don’t know…being a douche is different from being a bad person. You definitely have an argument that he’s a bad person, but I wouldn’t say he’s really douchey.

They're great.

[Raza]

They're great.

Really lowering the bar of great from “of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average” to “like those frat boys you outgrew 20 years ago, but somehow can’t get rid of”.

No argument needs to be made. That turd has had to apologize repeatedly in various attempts to keep his job/sponsors/whatever, he's already confirmed that he's a terrible person. As far as being a douche, the term fits.


douche

• an obnoxious or contemptible person (typically used of a man)."that guy is such a douche"

[happyscrappyheropup]

They're great.

I have to agree with @Raza. Throttle House is ok. The dad jokes and lack of on camera charisma limits how much I watch of them.

Mat Watson/Carwow and Jason Cammisa/Hagerty are some of the best out there, also enjoy most stuff from nerdy Doug Demaro, The Smoking Tire, The Hoonigans, Chris Harris on Cars (really any of his stuff), and Jason Fenske/Engineering Explained.
