As much as I like Kennan in the garage videos. I prefer the reviews to be just Doug. I’ve been watching Doug for the past 7 years and the thing that keeps me coming back is Doug and his personality, not the cars.
I like the cars too, but will probably stop watching if this guy takes over reviews, no offense to them. They are too similar to be a duo, and Doug's solo work, while quirky, is up there with other solo presenters like Harry Metcalfe, Jay Emm, Sofyan Bey, and Rory Reid's AutoTrader videos
Doug, you need to realise that we watch this channel for you, not the cars necessarily. Most people preferred the Doug Score breakdown because it gave us a further insight on what you think about the cars. Regardless if the video was 3 minutes longer. In the same vain, as much as I like Kennan, we want you reviewing these. You could review a stainless steel pan for 20 minutes and I would still watch it. Just like when you reviewed a few houses and hotel rooms, let's not forget that :D
Just a couple things... one, I feel like Doug is doing so well now he's trying to pass the torch to his buddy and not do as much RUclips... two, Kennan is like Ricky Bobby and doesn't know what to do with his hands so he just keep waving them around.
Kennan seems like a nice guy and nothing against him but Doug IS the channel and two people is fine for the Sunday type videos but these car reviews need to be done by yourself.
Watching Doug with a co-reviewer is like watching Porsche throw extra doors on the 911 and call it a Panemera. Thank you for not saying "a Doug score" in unison!
People who call the Panamera ugly are the same ones who will praise the “gorgeous” styling of whatever generic Audi comes about. It’s pretty hilarious.
Agree with others, Doug should do reviews alone. Kennan basically just does an impression of Doug, but we all want the real thing. That's why we're here. I do like your guest stars for the garage chats. Multiple people in that format makes sense so opinions can be discussed.
Guess this the future of Doug Demuro!! I don’t know if I can say I like it.. Nothing wrong with supporting your friends or helping them out. He’s not bad or anything it’s just not the Doug vibe we all have grown to love!! Especially the veiwers that have been here since the beginning!! Keep these for Sunday videos or bring back More Doug Demuro and upload them on that don’t destroy the formula we all like it will never end well it never does!! 👽🛸
He's not helping out a friend. Kennan is an employee of Cars & Bids. It would be nice to see Doug being more transparent about his future plans. Alas, it's his channel and he does what he wants with it. And we choose to watch or not. He's a smart cookie, given the reactions that Kennan gets, I don't think this format will go on very long.
I think this is going to be seen all over YT. In my opinion Linus if LTT is the first to make this work by introducing others to take on part of the show and it’s worked. These are becoming media companies and brands beyond the founders and livelihoods depend on these channels beyond just the founders as well. This is the only way to keep the same content coming in and allow founders to also not lose everything if they need a break. Normally a founder would hire a replacement CEO or GM once they have achieved a certain amount of success but it seems with YT you can’t do that and all the hard work doesn’t pay off it just becomes more hard work. So this is the only way to split the load and allow founders to stay around without getting completely burnt out. I say we will get used to it just fine and it will be great :) we might even get more content this way. Much appreciated Doug
Is Kennan the kind of friend who asks to have a go and you don’t have the heart to say No? If Kennan can drive, why not promote him to testing on the track. That would be a good combo.
I can easily understand that Doug wants to have more time for his family in the future and he is trying to have his coworker that does some part of the job. I like him but I was watching mostly for Doug and his reviews. It kept me here - even if I couldn’t afford most of the cars but he was fulfilling my curiosity. It is just maybe my opinion…
Doug no longer owns the channel, it was bundled with Cars & Bids for the recent sale. I think he still owns a chunk but not all of it. His role is likely to evolve more into business management so we can expect to see a number of presenters on the channel.
my hope is that once doug gets the channel to basically run itself, he can go full jay leno mode and just pop in and do what he loves and not worry about the rest.
I don't have a parasocial relationship with doug, I'm here for the quirks and features so while I understand that some might want doug for who he is, others might not care. As long as the person isn't obnoxious, it doesn't matter to me
@@IanHobday I think the Channel will suffer then, because Personally I Love all things Cars, Trucks. Boats Planes and what ever else moves, but was only watching because of Doug and his amazing Personality. I'm sure Kennon is great in his own right, but heruins the whole vibe and flow; for me.
your fans are super supportive of whatever you want to do and so am I but to be honest, I prefer the videos without Kennan but another good review thanks!
Is it just me that thinks this guy takes away a bit from the video? There’s nothing wrong with him, he does very well, I just don’t think it suits Doug’s channel to have a second commentator. I come for the car, but I stay for Doug’s.. quirkiness! Maybe time will change my opinion.
Lets wait and see change can take time like the bmw m3 g80, we must give it time to see if we still hate it. Take a month and tell me what u think after.
@@notapplicable4567oh of course, time will tell. I quite like him actually, it’s just strange it not being Doug commentating. I suppose it’s just because we aren’t used to another person on Doug’s vids.
I agree with you. I'm trying to like it and keep an open mind, but you can clearly tell that the script was created by Doug, as it is in his kind of lingo, or at least feels that way. If there must be a collab, I'd much rather see one where that person has their own unique opinion or they review it simultaneously discussing the more "controversial" or subjective things.
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't watch Doug Demuro videos for someone else to review cars. If I wanted to watch someone else review a car I'd watch another channel.
Don't change your formula Doug.. Don't alienate your fans who have given you the fortune and fame that you enjoy today. I know that you've noticed the view count for this video. As I write this it sits at just 200k. The Z8 is an iconic, amazing machine. It should have at least 2 or 3 times the views that it has. I like Kennan, he's a nice guy who is also passionate about cars. But THIS..... Is Doug Demuro.
Such a cute experiment! Now we know for certain that we want to stick to one host. Since the channel is called "Doug DeMuro", I suggest that one host to be Doug DeMuro. Keenan is the leather key pouch of the Doug DeMuro channel.
I normally don't leave negative comments but i will here. Kennan just doesn't fit the vibe of this channel. I thoroughly enjoy the Hoovie colabs and even the girl from the cars and coffee video was great, but we need someone with some quirks and features as a cohost if this continues in the future. I have watched every video doug has ever made but these are hard to get through.
Seeing Kennan trying to act like doug is a just too weird.. honestly i think most people are not here to see cars being reviewed by doug but to see doug review cars. I think most people would still watch even if doug reviewed a lawnmower. Its not the cars people come here for. Its Doug we come here for. And sadly i think as much as i love doug and what he has accomplished, i doubt I'd come to see someone else review cars on his channel. I hope you're doing well and wish you come out on top of what ever is going on with the channel.
Loved the driving part with the two of them. I think if Doug wants to do more videos with co-hosts, the “quirks and features” part still needs to be his alone. But the beginning and end are perfect places to have a second voice and face.
@@carycoller3140 why, it sucks and he should know, this channel won't be popular if he does something like this, or at least find a co host that's more interesting than a piece of cardboard, look at throttle house, those two guys are great together but Doug and that guy is just meh
@@Darx97 I can't stomach Throttle House. Those guys are too clowny for my taste. I was just curious about your comment. I don't care one way or the other about the channel.
Hopefully the abysmally low view counts will help Doug understand we don’t want to see your friends, we don’t want co hosts. We want to see Doug. Every video being an ad to sell a car sucks. It sucks that you’re always scared to make fun of cars or trash them because then you’ll hurt the auction/relationship with the dealer etc. The glory days of this channel are truly fading fast. It sucks because I was subbed since the Ferrari 360 days.
Second review in a row that I’d really like to watch but am not going to. Kennan seems like a great guy but I find him hard to listen to. Doug, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
Nothing against Kennan but I sub to this channel for Doug and its been perfect for years. I don't mind the sunday conversation series but if doug keeps sprinkling him into the videos I think I might be done
Probably the best modern retro styling ever, mainly because it used the purity and simplicity of the original car (the 507) and not replicated it. That’s the difference between paying homage and parodying
That's how you do it right , keep the elegant ,timeless parts and modernize only as much as you need to to keep it good. A brilliant car even today IMHO !
I don't get it. The front and front/side look good. The side profile is good if it's the hardtop but just ok on a convertable. The back, well, I just don't like it.
@@Szujhinzu I agree man. I think from a design standpoint the gen 5 is very under appreciated. Maybe a little early to hope someone will do a “resto mod” of one but would be very cool to see one with a better finished interior and a Coyote, and suspension and brake upgrades. If the Ring bros ever became interested in one…
The first review of the Z8 was the video where I discovered Doug. Incredible how things evolved! The Z8 is still in my 5-cars dream garage. Can’t understand the 2 in practicality though
BMW really wanted to add as many steps as possible before someone could drive this car: take the key out of it's leather pouch, flip the little chrome tab away from the key hole, unlock the door, get in the car, put the key in the ignition, turn the key, press the push start button, and FINALLY you can drive your car.
This car was my favorite roadster as a kid…Then I saw all of that along with that radio “navigation” reveal 🙄. Man…if adult me ran into kid me I would say “shut up and go watch some more James bind kid” Then that kid would punch me in the nuts over the slow LC 500c
The chrome tab is only necessary when the battery is dead and you need to lock/unlock the car. It does have remote lock/unlock. But yes, it's over the top.
The BMW Z8 is great and as you mentioned in an older Video, it's true that the Alpina modified Version has less Horsepower but yet i still see them more often for Sale here in Germany than a normal BMW Z8. In fact, at our Car Meetups and Driving "Grand Tours" the only BMW Z8s taking Part are Alpina ones. Makes me wonder how many there are out there Also Doug! Really enjoying you uploading 1 Video per Week more than usual! Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Chartreux, The Alpina models really get unfairly dissed by the car guru’s. 99% of the owners will drive these (if they ever drive them) will drive it like a grand tourer, gently going from stop light to stop light on their way to dinner. The automatic provides much better low-end (RPM) grunt which is more suitable to normal driving and it probably feels more powerful. It’s his 2nd time doing a (normal) Z8, he’s overdue for an Alpina Z8 review.
@@richgallagher725 Definitely agree with you, while i'd also prefer a Manual in that Car, i know Alpina does a lot to their Models that make it more "Grand Touring". Horsepower isn't everything.
@@MajorSchaefer Thanks, i just got to hat Part in the Video and i'm surprised by that. Maybe most of the Alpina Roadsters are in Germany, which is why i see them more often than a normal Z8, both at Car Meets and for sale
I owned a Z8 for a couple years. The perfect sports car. Reliable enough to be a daily driver. Special enough to be a Sunday driver. And just so much fun.
Keep up the good work Kennan! I know it’s really hard to be here in Doug’s channel where his personality has been so overwhelming. Just be yourself and don’t try to be Doug. I know you’ll find your own take one day! Don’t get discouraged!
If I want to see and listen to the other guy, I'd rather be given the CHOICE to subscribe to his channel. Given that I am not interested in him, would you be so kind as to no longer feature him on your channel? Thank you.
Such a great video. My father bought one new back in 2001. Topaz blue with red interior. Only 1 of 8 produced in that color. It was one of those cars when I was young that I liked it, but was more of a 911 guy. But the older I get. The more I just get this car. I truly believe it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Glad I still have it. And I will never sell it. It reminds me so much of my dad.
I used to work at a bmw dealership in Puebla Mexico and when this car came to the dealer it was huuuge! But when the alpina version came (from request of clients) everyone went nuts... Absolutely gorgeous and incredible car!
@@blistacompact1848 de hecho los compañeros de sala de venta los presentaban con publicidad de James Bond, lonas, souvenirs, etc. Igual cuando salió el mini edición Italian Job...
Honestly one of my favourite cars. Fell in love with it probably around 2010, so I would have been around 10 -11 years old and it’s just always looked amazing to me and still does! Sorry to anyone who had to read this little story😂
Doug, you created a circumstance where fans are here for you and your style of video. I don’t think adding a new face/voice is what the people who watch your videos want. Regardless of the guys expertise or history, he doesn’t fit your formula.
10:33 i know most cars have digital gauges now, but for the ones that do have analog ones, front lighting style should definitely be brought back, it looks sooo cool.
Doug needs to improve his knowledge of older cars. He noted he never saw a tach and clock together. In the late 60's and early 70's Dodge had a tic toc tach that would blow Doug,s mind
It was one of the worst James Bond movies and it was weird seeing BMW pay for having their car in it to be cut in half. Not sure why this video suggest the car was chosen for the movie being some sort of honor, what is driven in James Bond has long been about advertising with the possible exception of the DB5. Case in point, even Ford sedans have been Bond cars.
I'm with y'all on the "Kennan should be somewhere else in a Doug video if he's gonna be in them" - but I like how the comments section here is super polite about rejecting this change.
I'm not a big fan of Kennan. It's nothing against him personally, he seems like a nice guy. His style is too similar to Doug's but doesn't quite have the same charm that we all love. People with more contrasting personalities to Doug like Hoovey and Alanis seem to hold their own better. I think the car reviews should be just done by Doug alone, if they are to continue. If you want to slow down, why not just put out a video every few weeks when a particularly interesting car comes up? You don't need the money from the views anymore! Very long term viewer (since the Doug Car days!) and am so happy to see all of your successes.
The ignition key doesn’t have a ring for attaching other keys because they would scratch the painted dash below the key hole. Yes, requiring a key turn AND pushing the button to start is cumbersome, but as Doug noted, transponder keys didn’t exist then. So a leather pouch with a ring for other keys and a stand-alone key for the ignition was a compromise that made it possible while protecting the dash finish. Quirky indeed! I got to drive new Z8s at the BMW Performance Center in 2003. Once the horrible run flat tires were replaced with decent rubber, the Z8s drove like credible sports cars in hot laps at the Michelin proving grounds track.
I'm not sure why the other guy is in the video. The concept seem like your wife forced you to include her younger brother who doesn't have friends and had always dreamed of becoming an "influencer".
Please stop dragging your friends (even-though owners of the car presented) on every second video or review, since few weeks now. It is very annoying. Or make this on your other channel.
Older cars are just more appealing, aesthetically. The Z8 looks great because it's based on a classic late 50s design. You mentioned the Ford GT, also based on an older design, mid sixties. Modern cars drive better, but older cars tend to look better.
Doug, if you want to take a break or decrease the number of videos uploaded weekly that’s okay. But don’t let anyone else do the reviews. Otherwise, this channel will die slowly.
I vote keep Doug Demuro just Doug Demuro. Start another channel, man. You could make a killing doing similar videos with Kenan and others to lower your own time commitment.
Since the creation of Cars and Bids, Doug doesn't mention what is the actual price or market behavior on cars that are for sale on his site. It is a shame, it was very interesting to here it. I guess it would have a direct impact on the bids so...
Doug started this channel with his bare hands and stayed consistent while it was built. He can do what he darn well pleases, he is a grown man. Not sure why ppl gotta criticize everyone’s every move when they don’t match up to what you think it should be. If Doug wants a cohost, he’s earned it. Let him live, sheesh y’all.
Yeah, I never knew they were neon. I thought they were LED's even back then when nobody was doing them, just because they turned on and off instantly without the filament delay.
conspiracy; this film location, along with Kennan, are the start of a new chapter for doug, where he has a dedicated indoor location to film, and will have Kennan do the videos on occasion

I am a firm believer that Doug has access to a time machine and went into the future and brought back his adult son who is Kennan.
He even wears the double t-shirt just like dad.

the 911 is (famously) rear-engined. And the Panamera is a regular front-engined car. Bad comparrisson.

Don’t like that he was very clearly reading Doug’s transcript. Not letting have his own character.

As a long time Doug fan, I’m not loving the multiple host situation he has going on recently.
Up!
Agreed. He has the charisma of a Lada Samara
Nothing really against Keenan but I agree. I don't mind when Doug's friends join him on the Sunday videos. I actually really like that.
Agree 100%
We watch for Doug reviews. I hope the views reflect this.
Doug why aren’t u doing the review…. I don’t like this😐
he wants to take a gap year soon or maybe retire entirely
It's the beginning of the end ☹️
@@PaulTC777 don’t say that😨😨
What???
He is doing it…he just brought a friend to help.
Nothing against Kennan but I sub to this channel for Doug and its been perfect for years. I don't mind the sunday conversation series but if doug keeps sprinkling him into the videos I think I might be done
Probably the best modern retro styling ever, mainly because it used the purity and simplicity of the original car (the 507) and not replicated it. That’s the difference between paying homage and parodying
That's how you do it right , keep the elegant ,timeless parts and modernize only as much as you need to to keep it good.
A brilliant car even today IMHO !
I saw one cruising around a few years ago and was still stunning. One of the most timeless cars I’ve ever seen. Didn’t look dated at all.
I don't get it. The front and front/side look good. The side profile is good if it's the hardtop but just ok on a convertable. The back, well, I just don't like it.
This and Mustang gen 5, I'd say
@@Szujhinzu I agree man. I think from a design standpoint the gen 5 is very under appreciated. Maybe a little early to hope someone will do a “resto mod” of one but would be very cool to see one with a better finished interior and a Coyote, and suspension and brake upgrades. If the Ring bros ever became interested in one…
Doug!! The whole reason I come to your channel is…well…for you bud!! Kennan seems like a nice guy and all…but he ain’t what’s gonna keep me around!
not a fan of adding another person, its fine if its just this video but I personally wouldnt want to see this become a consistent thing
Doug, the type of guy to secretly "train" his "replacement" 😂
Doug trying to hire this guy to do videos so he can chill in Nantucket
The first review of the Z8 was the video where I discovered Doug. Incredible how things evolved!
The Z8 is still in my 5-cars dream garage. Can’t understand the 2 in practicality though
What is the purpose of bringing in someone else to read the script?
Nothing against Kennan, but I’m here for Doug. I’d rather have fewer videos than having someone else doing the review.
BMW really wanted to add as many steps as possible before someone could drive this car: take the key out of it's leather pouch, flip the little chrome tab away from the key hole, unlock the door, get in the car, put the key in the ignition, turn the key, press the push start button, and FINALLY you can drive your car.
This car was my favorite roadster as a kid…Then I saw all of that along with that radio “navigation” reveal 🙄. Man…if adult me ran into kid me I would say “shut up and go watch some more James bind kid” Then that kid would punch me in the nuts over the slow LC 500c
The chrome tab is only necessary when the battery is dead and you need to lock/unlock the car. It does have remote lock/unlock. But yes, it's over the top.
You forgot to switch the chrome tab back 😁
That "10" rating on styling is definitely deserved. Like the Jaguar XKE, those simple svelte lines will always be timeless.
Honestly i watch for doug. Doug needs to do the reviews
Actually the original Z8 video was the first Doug DeMuro video I watched ever
The BMW Z8 is great and as you mentioned in an older Video, it's true that the Alpina modified Version has less Horsepower but yet i still see them more often for Sale here in Germany than a normal BMW Z8. In fact, at our Car Meetups and Driving "Grand Tours" the only BMW Z8s taking Part are Alpina ones. Makes me wonder how many there are out there
Also Doug! Really enjoying you uploading 1 Video per Week more than usual!
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Chartreux, The Alpina models really get unfairly dissed by the car guru’s. 99% of the owners will drive these (if they ever drive them) will drive it like a grand tourer, gently going from stop light to stop light on their way to dinner. The automatic provides much better low-end (RPM) grunt which is more suitable to normal driving and it probably feels more powerful. It’s his 2nd time doing a (normal) Z8, he’s overdue for an Alpina Z8 review.
Alpina Roadster V8: 555 units worldwide
@@MajorSchaefer 99% of ALL Z8 owners
@@richgallagher725
Definitely agree with you, while i'd also prefer a Manual in that Car, i know Alpina does a lot to their Models that make it more "Grand Touring". Horsepower isn't everything.
@@MajorSchaefer
Thanks, i just got to hat Part in the Video and i'm surprised by that.
Maybe most of the Alpina Roadsters are in Germany, which is why i see them more often than a normal Z8, both at Car Meets and for sale
love Kennan in the garage videos but please don't tell me he is Doug's successor, we love your Doug!
Love the videos, but 2 people is too much
I owned a Z8 for a couple years. The perfect sports car. Reliable enough to be a daily driver. Special enough to be a Sunday driver. And just so much fun.
Don’t want to see Kennan anymore
Keep up the good work Kennan! I know it’s really hard to be here in Doug’s channel where his personality has been so overwhelming. Just be yourself and don’t try to be Doug. I know you’ll find your own take one day! Don’t get discouraged!
Don't ever put a second host on again.
EVER!!!😂
Twice is enough.
"You only live twice Mr. Bond !"
Doug the type of guy to try and hand over hosting duties without his audience noticing.
If I want to see and listen to the other guy, I'd rather be given the CHOICE to subscribe to his channel.
Given that I am not interested in him, would you be so kind as to no longer feature him on your channel?
Thank you.
Such a great video. My father bought one new back in 2001. Topaz blue with red interior. Only 1 of 8 produced in that color. It was one of those cars when I was young that I liked it, but was more of a 911 guy. But the older I get. The more I just get this car. I truly believe it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Glad I still have it. And I will never sell it. It reminds me so much of my dad.
I used to work at a bmw dealership in Puebla Mexico and when this car came to the dealer it was huuuge! But when the alpina version came (from request of clients) everyone went nuts... Absolutely gorgeous and incredible car!
vendieron z8s nuevos en méxico? alpina???
In puebla there is only burros , bicycles and feet.
@@blistacompact1848 sí dos
@@blistacompact1848 de hecho los compañeros de sala de venta los presentaban con publicidad de James Bond, lonas, souvenirs, etc. Igual cuando salió el mini edición Italian Job...
The side gill comment is incorrect. The Z8 did not bring back side gills to the modern BMW era, that was the Z3 in 1995.
Honestly one of my favourite cars. Fell in love with it probably around 2010, so I would have been around 10 -11 years old and it’s just always looked amazing to me and still does! Sorry to anyone who had to read this little story😂
7:41 this face of doug rolling both windows with one switch is priceless 👍👍👍
Doug, you created a circumstance where fans are here for you and your style of video. I don’t think adding a new face/voice is what the people who watch your videos want. Regardless of the guys expertise or history, he doesn’t fit your formula.
Kennan is cool and good for the sit down videos in the garage but we watch these vidoes because dou is reviewing
Kennan is a cool guy, but the reason i keep watching this channel is because of dougs unique style and mannerisms.
Several cars in the 1960's had clock/tach combos: "Tick Tock Tach". Not that odd, Doug!
Honestly, put the gauges back where they belong, and I really like this interior (and swap out the head unit). Especially the steering wheel
1400 videos so maybe brought up, but the side vents and logo wasn’t a Z8 original.
It’s on the Z3 as well.
Gonna be that guy but Kennan should just be on videos where they discuss things and not the main videos
Is this Kennan guy conducting an orchestra? I have never seen anyone moving their hands and arms so much when talking
So basically, most of Doug's reviews from here on out are going to be of cars on "Cars....and Bids."
THIIIIIIS FOLKS, IS KENNAN.. Aaaaaaand Now, I'm off to chill in Nantucket with my Carera GT.
Well, at least Doug puts Kennan in the thumbnail, so you know which videos to avoid in the future.
Doug is the king of guy to put Kennan only + advertsing for cars and bids in some of the next videos.
Is Doug stepping down? Are we seeing the birth of Kennan DeMuro? THISSS is troubling me...
10:33 i know most cars have digital gauges now, but for the ones that do have analog ones, front lighting style should definitely be brought back, it looks sooo cool.
I personally don't feel like it really works dual hosting these vids.
Doug needs to improve his knowledge of older cars. He noted he never saw a tach and clock together. In the late 60's and early 70's Dodge had a tic toc tach that would blow Doug,s mind
Beautiful looking car .
Great design , elegant , cool sounding engine and manual transmission !
A James Bond BMW !
It was one of the worst James Bond movies and it was weird seeing BMW pay for having their car in it to be cut in half.
Not sure why this video suggest the car was chosen for the movie being some sort of honor, what is driven in James Bond has long been about advertising with the possible exception of the DB5. Case in point, even Ford sedans have been Bond cars.
@@bzdtemp Well the movie may have been not so good but that Z8 was very very cool !!
I'm with y'all on the "Kennan should be somewhere else in a Doug video if he's gonna be in them" - but I like how the comments section here is super polite about rejecting this change.
my dream car ! Love the design the engine and ... I guess drives nice too
Drives like a truck i guess. Not a reason to not own one
@@Zilla__man If i can afford one id most certainly buy it ! Such a nice looking car ..
@@Battery-Powered I've heard that they can go up to 800K today if you can find one !
@@gregorygant4242 I guess I’ll be driving my z4 for a while then 😂
Mean girls voice, "Doug, stop trying to make Kennan happen. It's not going to happen!"
who is this other guy?! i sure didnt subscribe for him sorry
I don't necessarily dislike Kennan, but more Kennan means less Doug, I like Doug.
I'm not a big fan of Kennan. It's nothing against him personally, he seems like a nice guy. His style is too similar to Doug's but doesn't quite have the same charm that we all love. People with more contrasting personalities to Doug like Hoovey and Alanis seem to hold their own better.
I think the car reviews should be just done by Doug alone, if they are to continue. If you want to slow down, why not just put out a video every few weeks when a particularly interesting car comes up? You don't need the money from the views anymore!
Very long term viewer (since the Doug Car days!) and am so happy to see all of your successes.
Please don’t make this “2 person” thing a habit
The ignition key doesn’t have a ring for attaching other keys because they would scratch the painted dash below the key hole. Yes, requiring a key turn AND pushing the button to start is cumbersome, but as Doug noted, transponder keys didn’t exist then. So a leather pouch with a ring for other keys and a stand-alone key for the ignition was a compromise that made it possible while protecting the dash finish. Quirky indeed!
I got to drive new Z8s at the BMW Performance Center in 2003. Once the horrible run flat tires were replaced with decent rubber, the Z8s drove like credible sports cars in hot laps at the Michelin proving grounds track.
If Doug is leaving I think he needs to say so. THIS channel is Doug and without him it will never be the same.
Get this other guy out of here
I'm not sure why the other guy is in the video. The concept seem like your wife forced you to include her younger brother who doesn't have friends and had always dreamed of becoming an "influencer".
Why do we need to keep seeing this dude
Please stop dragging your friends (even-though owners of the car presented) on every second video or review, since few weeks now. It is very annoying. Or make this on your other channel.
Older cars are just more appealing, aesthetically. The Z8 looks great because it's based on a classic late 50s design. You mentioned the Ford GT, also based on an older design, mid sixties. Modern cars drive better, but older cars tend to look better.
I don't always review cars twice. But when I do, it's because I'm selling other people's stuff. Also, the second review includes my assistant.
Doug, if you want to take a break or decrease the number of videos uploaded weekly that’s okay. But don’t let anyone else do the reviews. Otherwise, this channel will die slowly.
I vote keep Doug Demuro just Doug Demuro. Start another channel, man. You could make a killing doing similar videos with Kenan and others to lower your own time commitment.
Since the creation of Cars and Bids, Doug doesn't mention what is the actual price or market behavior on cars that are for sale on his site. It is a shame, it was very interesting to here it. I guess it would have a direct impact on the bids so...
Not a fan of the new format.
Kennan is great but I been here for over 8 years just for Doug
It takes a kind of weird guy to talk about these weird quirks and features, and Kennan is not weird enough.
This is exactly it. He's a normie.
@@the4fibs832 His name might as well be John Smith.
Doug started this channel with his bare hands and stayed consistent while it was built. He can do what he darn well pleases, he is a grown man. Not sure why ppl gotta criticize everyone’s every move when they don’t match up to what you think it should be. If Doug wants a cohost, he’s earned it. Let him live, sheesh y’all.
Doug can do whatever Doug wants. But, so can the viewers.
The neon lights are such a cool idea and they still look like they are from current cars
Yeah, I never knew they were neon. I thought they were LED's even back then when nobody was doing them, just because they turned on and off instantly without the filament delay.
conspiracy; this film location, along with Kennan, are the start of a new chapter for doug, where he has a dedicated indoor location to film, and will have Kennan do the videos on occasion
