I used to enjoy fasterproms but they started building weird vehicles that are constantly breaking, gets old. Keep it simple in my opinion. And Sloppy mechanics used to be my favorite but he totally changed what he used to do and although he's pretty funny dude, says how he feels and gets some cool ****...its just not the same.
cleetus is cool. I like Jermey but he is boring to watch most the time. Goes into too much detail? I’m not sure

Happel will put me to sleep. And it’s not so much sloppy mechanics anymore. It’s sponsored mechanics lol. But there is some decent info on his channel.

Turbo John is awesome. Great guy who has a clapped out car way faster than most guys nice ****. Lot of good info on his channel too and overall a likeable dude.

burndown is good. Been watching him for awhile and he is gaining traction. He is 100% a regular dude like us.

and Street Racing Channel (Billy the kid) is a great channel. Loves to use his girlfriend’s butt to get views..... but his content is A+ and his s10 is a wicked lil ride (hell his brothers new s10 is rowdy too). Cool family and really Good racing content

I'm the curious type that when I see someone doing very well at something I want to know how they did it. Not to be nosey or criticize, but to honestly learn. Then I see this guy on youtube buying his first Vette as a teenager. I'm like hell ya man nice. Then his explanation is he is a successful investor started out mowing yards, paper routes etc. and made wise investments. I'm like OK I mowed yards and even worked full summers detasseling corn as a teenager. I bought a chevy monza for $300 a far cry from a new Vette. So I didn't invest my money well? Ok what could I have done different. With that amount of start up cash from mowing yards and detasseling corn it would take a hell of a return on investment to be able to buy a Vette only a few years later. So he's a smart investor? Very possible as I'm not a smart guy myself. Ok what do smart investors not do as teenagers? Buy freaking sports cars and take them to shops to spend thousands of dollars on them only to sell them then buy another one and start over. So we can rule out him being a smart investor. Lucky investor? Possibly. Inheritance, Lottery winning, law suit/settlement? I don't know, but he's certainly popular although he seems to be a douche that never actually turns any wrenches or shares any info that would be beneficial to the car guy working on cars. Yet he's rich as hell so even though I don't get his popularity or how he got there more power to him living the American dream.

I made one simple video on YouTube and made $500 off it. There’s money in YouTube. Lots of it. Lots and lots of it

Youtube content creators are making money and it's easy to tell who knows what they are doing, and who is just making bank to play with their new toys. The scary part is reading the nut huger posts and fan worship from the people that don't know that the creators often don't have a clue about what they are doing lol. The posts are often a bigger train wreck than the original content lol.
