This is Doug's polite "Stop messaging me, I don't give a damn" video lol
😂😂
There is no such thing as stop drive in Romania since many vehicles are old and people are poor. Heck, even my car a 18y/o Fiesta. Here if you car doesn't work properly you go to one guy that knows another guy and bribe him to get a new 1 year inspection for the car, very easy. Here is too much corruption for that stop driving thing. Ive been to the USA for 3 months and boy i can tell you you have a lot of weird laws 😂😂
@@boringstuff3463has anyone asked anything about Romania? Literally no reason to mention it
What he's trying to get people to realize is Romania sucks.@@NuSuntRaresh
@@IntelliPocalypse yeah I know. I was born there. And I left Romania for that reason

So, in your dismissive attitude to 'life'... don't mind if you go?
why did i read " Dough is merely a quirk and feature. "
Doug's the type of guy to drive a recalled vehicle and make a video about it.

@@adampinsky3896 was he driving a Carrera? I thought it was a 911 for some reason.
Edit:Oh snap it was a carrera GT. I wonder if it was actually related to this
@@xerotolerant It was a Carrera GT. The deteriorated nine year old tires on it might explain Americans (or at least Cars and Bids) obsession with tire date codes.
He wasn’t driving but yeah
"everyone was freaking out" Probably 1200 of these cars exist.
Less than 500 according to the end of the video. And all of them were notified a year ago.
So this is only “news” to people who do not own such car.
@@juzolithat number was related to usa numbers
i got the same letter on my 04 GT, i didnt freak out, my car has 1200 miles on it
@@mikedelape6609 man I'm jealous
@@miralemnermina142 I mean, who wouldn't? But afterall we all have something someone else desires, even if we don't know it. Everywhere i go my bicicle turns heads, and it's 14 years old, it's biggest "thing" is the one people probably realize the least, wich is that instead of paint the whole thing has a custom red anodized finish that honestly does look great, it's a 2009 Demo 8 if you're curious, and as far as i'm aware it's the only one with such a colour on it
No road salt down here in San Diego, just potholes big enough to swallow the whole damn car!
Parece o Brasil 🤣🤣🤣
Thank all those wonderful CA voters for keeping Newsom ruining the state
It’s really inexcusable how bad the roads are here. At least in northeast US they have frost heaves as an excuse. California just has Democrat politicians and open borders to blame
I'm a bit shocked there are owners of these cars who are willing to drive them in winter conditions.
Yet they make an assload in taxes. But I guess the mayors and government employees need their fair share.
Me and doug have a lot in common, I felt similarly badass driving my recalled Chevy Bolt every day 😎
I HAD MY JOINT INSPECTED
*zooms momentarily*
His face was almost as ‘priceless’ as his Carrera GT
4:07 😂😂
Ayeee ;)
😏
For a second i thought you were selling the CGT too. 😂
That was how I initially read the title as well
I first looked at the 'Recalled' in the title and then the cgt in thumbnail, I too thought he was selling his Porsche.
Oh he will eventually!
There was a yellow Carrera GT on his wedding cake... he's never selling it
@@evanescence2 He sold his Land Rover, the car which was his marriage getaway car.
Same thing happened with the Mercedes brake booster recall. Since the cars were under a stop drive order, we would drive to customer’s houses to perform the inspections. If the car passed, the customer could continue to drive it. If it failed, Mercedes will offer to pay for a tow or a porter would carefully drive it back to the dealer
Doug is the type of guy to have a Massachusetts registration on a California car, and a California registration on a Massachusetts car.
Damon of DDE (Daily Driven Exotics) had this fail on his CGT and he nearly crashed. Fortunately he was only going 35 mph so he was able to get it pulled over but he was scared. You can see it on his video last year or the year before when he had it.
Doug lives in San Diego. That car is as clean as the day it left the factory. We are blessed to have super consistent weather here in San Diego.
Unless you live right next to the water. I’ve found my cars get pretty beaten up by corrosion from the salt water a block or so away from the water despite being in SD
Wait... isn't San Diego a coastal city?
i love how casually he says "letters most of us got in the mail" (3:56) like oh yh i too remember getting a personalised letter from porsche about my $1M+ supercar
Wow, can't believe Doug has reached a point in his life where he can singlehandedly effect something in the automotive industry(ie canceling insurance on stop drive cars)
Absolutely, this is why whenever I see news I try not to pay too much attention to them because I know how journalists work (Same with click bait on titles and thumbnails by the way)
I love these talking type of video Doug!
I remember when DDE's Carrera GT suspension broke before the recall happened.
Yea I don't know why more people don't talk about that.. always saying that it "hasn't really happened" yet but it has lol sooo fix it Porsche .. I believe there's a company that makes an aftermarket one that has thicker and deeper threads ..
A lot of recalls happen as cars get miles and defects are found. Doesnt surprise me that a car like this, where most of the units are kept in garages 360 days a year or more, they haven't found problems until this long.
Doug always gives a great analysis of stuff like this. Well done.
The early 928's had a ball joint issue as well. Porsche initially installed aluminum ball joints, but a few of them fractured so they were all replaced with steel joints that solved the problem.
Who ever had the idea of using a reality soft metal like aluminum FOR A SUPENTION BALL JOINT, was not very bright.
Meanwhile. Toyota is flat out ignoring MILLIONS of modern trucks with ridiculous frame rot.
Toyota has crap customer service but the Toyota bros don't wanna ever say anything bad about Toyota
Tacoma owners:
"Greatest vehicle made"
huh? on tiktok ive only seen nothing but new ford & chevys with less than 15k miles with ridiculous frame rot. road salt being the cause. I guess its something that happens on any truck but ive see no toyotas so i guess they're not ignoring anything
7:30 That caught me off guard lmao OOOooOoooooOoOOOooooooo
Love the Jalopnik sneak disses. 😂
Good video. Acoustics are way better than previous ones filmed in that garage. Stay safe out there, Doug.
Doug the kind of guy to wake you up to say goodnight
so not at all funny, give it up
@@slowery43Hard disagree
LoL...I find this one of The top 10 so far this year...and last...and..
"Sooooo why am I selling my Carrera GT on Caaarrrrss and Bids?"
I legit misread the title at first and thought that's what is was about >_
It’s awesome to see how far doug has come. Look at this crazy garage he’s got now
If he keeps on going, he'll be the next Jay Leno...
I had a vehicle under a stop drive order. It was a Diesel engine EGR that could leak and catch fire. You just had to make sure to keep track of coolent levels till part was available. And for a short time there where actually some insurance companies that would not cover KIA and Hyundai cars when theft rate was high. Until they fixed it. But that was only on NEW policyholder. Not currently covered vehicles. That's probably the case with the GT. Unless proof car was inspected.
Love the video and Perfect point on the stop drive orders
its crazy after all this time the carrera gt is still getting recalled. Imagine working at a porsche service center mainly seeing macans and the odd 911 to a gt showing up to get inspected.
A Porsche ainda se preocupa com seus clientes, muitas montadoras nem avisam o recall
Doug is the type of guy risking his life to drive a car
And most likely, So are you 😂😅🙏🏽
Everyone risks their life driving a car. When you drive your car , there could be a wrong way driver coming for you
😂😂😂😂
@@RyansTechReviews29a high end supercar with a recall on it is def at more risk then let's say a Toyota or Mercedes with no recall. 😂
@@TonyStark-wr7ob you’re still risking your life no matter what it doesn’t matter who drives, you’re risking your life
Blink thrice if you keed help and are being held hostage by your CGT.
Porsche guarantees that if you get this recalled you will become immortal.
I can hear Paul Walker screaming at Doug from heaven.
Ha! Good one!😂
And Damon from DDE, he had the same issue happen.
Isn't that one of the guys who drove like a dumbass and ran off the road, killing himself?
7:34 had me dying replayed it about 10 times.
I'm just happy we got Doug's sunday update videos back
I saw the recall notice and thought of your car, glad to know that you are solid with respect to your car and its recalled component
was shopping for a Carrera GT but since it has a stop drive order I might just get an Elantra GT instead
Same number of letters in the name, they're both GTs; great choice!
Doug is living on the edge.
Riding a motorcycle is
I have a recall on my 2010 LaCrosse for the rear tow link, but it only applies to cars they were ever registered in the rust belt. My car was originally registered in MD, but it was really well maintained and I have owned it since 2019, and the recall was issued in 2020, and they didn't have the resolution to the recall until 2021. The recall states that the rear toe link could have been oversprayed with painted and they thicker painted areas are prone to chpping from road debris, they exposed the bare metal to be rusted and possibly cracked, which could lead to breakage. I have examined the rear toe links and all is well. Initally, my year model was part of the recall, but they later added it.
2018-2023 4×e is also on the recall list. Imagine hearing that after settling on a $60,000 hybrid offroader.
I already thought the vehicle was going to be useless, because the engine can't charge the battery.
Doug is the kinda guy to start an online auction site called "Recalled Cars and Bids"
I wonder if my C GT on Gran Turismo 7 is also under the stop-drive.... I will advise.
This was great; Start to finish, word for word!
You also explained why you go to an Indy. Porsche dealer: " Mr. DeMuro, we haven't seen you in a while. Of course we will install the suspension part. But we also have to replace the muffler bearings and blinker fluid, or you could die. And that is on you...". Just like any other dealer service department. As a side note, Ferrari has now started offering insurance. Purchase a car from an authorized dealer and Ferrari offer to l insure it.
I would definitely still keep an eye on it. That same suspension joint failed on Damon from DDE's Carrera GT and it wasn't because of corrosion. The part that held the joint together just loosened pretty much slamming one side of his car to the ground and pulling him to one side. He said if it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't driving fast he definitely could have had a serious crash. His mechanic that he had at the time who serviced Carrera's at Porsche said it wasn't the first time he'd seen that part loosen on it's own.
Doug the type of guy to daily drive his car which costs more than most peoples house
I have no idea why I watched this video
Doug you are simply put, the man. Keep doing what your doing
Nice job DD!
Nothing can stop Doug 💪
In case anyone is wondering, the article Doug is referring to is a Jalopnik article. Jalopnik, the car website for people who hate cars, written by people who hate cars, otherwise known as the huffington post of the automotive world.
Isn't that who Doug worked for way back?
Jalopnik didn't used to be like that, though.
Basically all of the older current youtubers originate from that place.
The ezine is written by people that ride their bikes to work. Hipster dorks.
Visited their website, left it immediatly
😅🤣
Doug Demuro: Ready to Die
Doug is the type of guy to do a video about how he is still driving his recalled car - only to explain he followed the exact protocol of the recall!
Yep read the bloody recall notification & make an assessment of your car, thanks Doug that was brilliant coverage, Rj in Oz
Havent we always known the carrera gt is dangerous?
Só depois da morte do Paul Walker, mídia sensacionalista
Yea though people never took into consideration that he had super old tires and that the CGT has no traction control
Hey Mr. DeMuro! I heard that there’s a certain Maybach Exelero driving around, waiting to be reviewed…
If I could give this video a double thumbs up I would. I absolutely love when he goes on his tangents like this!!! Great response Doug if your reading this.
Thats crazy. I remember a while back when DDE Carrera broke, and they said that may be the point of failure that's causing them to crash.
You haven’t done the suspension upgrade on your car yet ?
The suspension upgrade available for the cgt is coilovers.. that has nothing to do with the joints which are the subject of the recall.
@@definitive3005 I commented that before I listened to the first two minutes, should’ve waited a few minutes before I commented
CC says your name is Dud Deuro. :p
are you 9 years old? ugh
Thanks for your thorough, comprehensive and investigative examination! TRUTH!
Fantastic thumbnail
(The yolo license plate is a nice touch)
So brave.
Porsche doesn't need to lure Carrera GT owners into their dealership. They come themselves when Porsche has new stuff.
Keep it going Doug I’ve been following you since the 360 vs LS460… hope to see a video on the new 2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph when you get an opportunity to review…
Your content is always nuanced and never has filler or sensation. You seemed pretentious at first but then I realised that the goofy personality was genuine 😀
At least he isn‘t selling it…
Doug is the type of guy to laugh in the face of death.
O carro dele não tem problema nenhum
Doug is the type of guy who knows exactly when to be lighthearted and not cross into being in bad taste
I'm so sorry..when you said if I continue driving i will die!!😂😂..I was drinking a Pepsi and you got me man..😂😂
My family used to have a 2004 Honda Odyssey that was part of the infamous Takata air bag recall, but my parents had that fixed and we kept using it.
always check cars for recalls especially airbag recalls as now they are pretty commen even in mordern cars
DDE has a video were rear shock failed on his Carrera GT during a drive and detailed a common upgrade for this known issue. I believe the problem was thread shear, causing body to rest on tire. Some underside aero also made contact with road. RUclipsr creates much of his content in CA, but resides in Canada were salt could have played a role in the failure. Either way, be safe man.
Doug the kind of guy who needs to constantly reminds you that he owns and drives a Porsche Carrera GT.
Who the hell drives a recalled Porsche ?
I wish I was that fuccin fortunate
this Carrera GT recall issue recalls the Ralph Nader book “Unsafe at Any Speed”. The book is primarily known for its critique of the Chevrolet Corvair, although only one of the book's eight chapters covers the Corvair.
I'd love to see a video of Doug's CGT vs Farah's DeMan Spyder
Can't wait to see that "I had my joint inspected" moment in ytps!
Doug is the type of guy to risk his life rather than doing recalls
Did you not listen to him? He just said he had it inspected.
Great video and I like the details. Question, how does Porsche know you own the car if your not the original owner? I guess they would not unless you took it back to a dealership for service.
T-Shirt for Doug:
“ I’ve had my JOINT INSPECTED‼️”
british youtuber tge was forced to park his carrera gt cause in the uk he was banned from getting insurance due to the recall
Friggin 'Nanny' gov oversight twits...
Doug the type of guy to have an entertaining comment section.
Next video title: I totaled my Carerra GT and insurance won’t cover it since I ignored the recall
I remember a video jay Leno was included, mentioned how he replaced the rear struts for being known for having defects.
this is the video before he sells it on Cars & Bids....wait for it...
Doug’s the type of guy to call out other articles recall clickbait then make the same clickbait.
JK love you Doug great video 🎉
That's a cool note about how many CGTs are left, already under 500
A lot of CGT's were exported from the States to Europe a couple of years back as there was a big price discrepancy between US and European prices partly contributed to by the fall in the USD. Mark McCann did a video on it.
Doug is the type of guy to ask for his joint inspected
Doug, you ain't no Paul Walker
C'mon, you told Jon about that joke, right?
Continue to enjoy your beautiful car! Anyone telling you not to drive it wanted one but never got it.
Insurance companies can do whatever they hell they want. They can pull coverage of all Carrera GTs if they want without canceling any other cars.
Doug the type of guy to live life on the edge by driving a recalled car.

Fear mongering and miss information in our press! Thanks for the facts and perspective on the matter and hope people do check for recalls on cars and understand what this all means and what could be at stake.
My 2022 Ford Bronco is currently under recall because the seat-belt buckle can slide down the seat-belt far enough so that it's a little difficult to reach for someone who has to sit with the seat scootched up. So they're making Ford spend literally millions of dollars recalling every Ford Bronco to install a small plastic clip on the seat-belt that prevents the buckle from sliding down too far. 🙄 I refuse to participate. If someone is too damn lazy to buckle their seat-belt because the buckle has slid a couple of inches too far down, that's just Darwin at work, IMHO.
Recalls *CAN* be for stupid reasons, as can "stop drive" orders. The NHTSA is not God.
Wow that is so completely not even a little interesting.. go back and review the video no where in it was it talks about beinga ll about you
Doug is the type of guy who will milk this dead cow till kingdom come, and continue to make content.
I swear Doug always has the best thumbnails for his garage videos
Thats right keep driving it 🙌
