Fun fact about the steering wheel cover. Crochet can't really be done by machine - it has to be done by hand. So if that cover is indeed a Chinese factory item, it doesn't mean it was made on a machine, it means it was made using ✨sweat shop labor✨
wait until you learn about the working conditions in great us and a. ever wondered why the homeless population continues to grow? im sure theres no correlation there
@@swell07_ what are you talking about? How is that related to what I said?
@@swell07_it's incredible to me that you think labor conditions in the US are worse than the sweat shops and slave labor in China, were you born under a rock? We have labor regulations in the US as well as minimum wage; both make manufacturing more expensive for companies. They outsource to China because these things don't exist there which allows companies to exploit the people working in Chinese factories. Do you think African lithium mines are worse than US labor conditions? If not you need to take some time to read about how your phone got from materials in the ground to being in your hand
so i don't think it was made in china just because there was chinese writing in the background of a picture of the product. i suspect the chinese writing, which says "single medical use" on it was on a packet of what was probably disposable face masks, a lot which are made in china.
the seller probably has a bunch of "covid supplies" in that car door pocket, which the face masks would be a part of along with the sanitiser etc. kinda disappointed at the immediate conclusions Donut jumped to.
@@brandonberner5467lol you don’t know of the migrants that are having nerve damage from working in chicken processing plants I the Midwest 😂
That 3d printed joint holder was pretty cool.
game recognize game
my man.
The Dude.
It also brings the whole car together.
Yeah, then the cops know where to look ....
I was thinking the same thing
I have a feeling that lip balm holder just turned into a dab pen holder 😂
Gotta keep the penjamin safe
Glad I wasn’t the same lowkey fire spot for the vape
@@liamniles2534”low key fire” *hits vape*
Is wild
As long as its just a holder and not being utilised while driving 😅.
@@liamniles2534you sound like an old person trying to be cool
Chapstick has melted in my car but stayed in its container and ended up cooling down while it sat on its side. I think this upright holder is a game changer.
You have a freshly leveled chapstick everytime!
@@_EyeOfTheTiger Not a bad idea
honestly surprised that Subaru sponsored this, given everything the Donut boys have done to the WRXs and their engines 🤣🤣
😂
I’m surprised it didn’t break before the commercial ended
@@lil.dogbyte Uh, Honda, Toyota & Subaru are all over rated...
it was very sad to see them pushing some boring crossover tbh
@@davidhollenshead4892 -- Honda and Toyota being "overrated" is an absolutely *wild* take lmao... I'm *still* driving a 2005 Camry. It's got 250k miles and it shows no signs of dying. Toyotas and Hondas are literally some of the most reliable and cheap-to-fix cars you can buy. Calling them overrated is just insane lol
We used to love Etsy. It used to be a place to get unique products, handmade from small businesses. It's since flooded with cheap chinese knockoffs like Temu and Wish-style stuff.
We had a store for our LLC suspended for no reason and Etsy would not provide a reason. I am obviously subjective in this, but have soured on Etsy quite a bit.
And yes people, this is a re-upload of the video from this morning.
Wow that’s insane
Yup. Etsy went to garbage like 5 or so years ago. They stopped verifying shops and it quickly filled up with drop shippers who were pedaling the same cheap chinese goods that are on wish. If you list your goods on etsy, chances are it'll be copied within a few months. It's crazy how quickly etsy went to crap.
I agree. I don't really like etsy anymore. i think they made a mistake allowing that
Oh China, is there anything you can't ruin?
I opened up a shop a couple years ago, and only had one product listed before it was shut down with no explanation. When I reached out to Etsy, they never responded. Etsy sucks.
5:45 No not the desert, the cold! When the heater vents are blasting it really dries out the air. That'd be better than trying to get my chapstick out of my bag while driving.
Yea, you can tell they are from the southern US!
Find vasaline works the best for chapped lips.
I get you bro. I live in Ohio and it's been single digits lately and I get this, but remember, these guys live in LA
Subaru better be paying Donut a LOT of money, Nolan is really selling this car, better than any other ad I've seen!
It’s not that hard to sell a Subaru tbh.
I know 3 people (out of like the 10 I know) that bought a Subaru, and have bought only Subarus since, one of them owns 4 of them and none of them ever shut up about them lmao
@@Fetidaf Our family has only bought Subaru's or Toyota's since the 80's. No reason to drive anything else.
@@StageRight123 I have a confession… I’m also one of those people lol
I found a cheap one a few years back and wanted an AWD car… now I have that one and a 2020 Legacy that I bought new and my next one will almost certainly be a Subaru as well.
Sure they’re not the most reliable and are a pain in the ass to do anything but change the oil but they’re nice to drive and super fun in snow… I actually pulled a couple cars out of the ditch last week lol
From my experience they’re fantastic cars to own to 80k-100k miles lol
@@StageRight123 I mean sure if you don't want anything cool or easy to work on. If your only goal is to get from point A to point B, they do that well.
@@Fetidaf My '99 Impreza is super reliable. I got it used 5 years ago with 137k on it, and I'm up to 179k now.
As a proud owner of a 3rd gen Tacoma you don’t know how useless that square “cup” holder is, so I’m proud someone found a use for it. Even if it’s for a Zyn tin
I also have a 3rd gen, bought it used, and it came with what I think is a Tacoma Lifestyle skinny can holder, but it could be made by someone else, not sure. Perfect fit for a 12oz red bull can. I have driven a ton of these from my previous job and I could not figure out what that square spot was for, always put keys and my airpods there.
Would fit a can of Skoal too
Rogue is better than Zyn
@@chuckiefinster544Rogue? I've only seen zyn and vue(?) nicotine pouches around me unless you mean standard snus/chew
A Fuji-brand bottled water holder?
Donut should start another channel. Basically like a vlog style channel showing the behind the scenes for everyone. I think it would be cool to have more donut content. Y’all could post all the stuff you don’t think is good enough for the main channel
Donut underground members get bts and outtake vids. Not as many as we used to though
Agreed. Can't say particularly what I'd or anyone else would want, but I think there's enough demand for more content to make it work in general. Just not always the easiest thing, having to ask more out of everyone, especially if you're already busy as it is.
thats called donut underground
That record spinning air freshener is dope, seriously u guys ought to reach out to that person & put something in the works. As a fan of Donut & a lover of music It’d be sick to have a donut record air freshener in my MK4 Jetta 😁✌🏽✌🏽
I want one in white to match my white 94 ranger splash
vastly underestimating the usefulness of the Chapstick holder. keeps it upright so it doesn't melt out and ruin it in the summertime.
I'm guessing this is a thing if you live in a hot dry climate, because up north chapstick is mainly used during winter.
@@kutter_ttl6786 lol Las Vegas, it's February and it's already getting hot
Etsy sent them a duplicate video
It's beautiful how you can see on Zach' s face when his vibes go down and back up. You all rock
The Zyn can holder is absolutely brilliant. The amount of times I’ve had to claw at my zyns at the bottom of a cup holder is too many
So true lmao
I would like an update on how long Nolan keeps the headrest cover
i love the lore of donut and subaru, and they landed a subaru sponsorship. high low series with subaru outbacks/crosstreks? like a combo between the off road truck series but with outbacks pls n ty!
That would be awesome!
Glad you reuploaded this. Kinda funny, but the first product you guys hated is the only one that caught my attention. I'm a DoorDash driver, and my car is a 2 seater with only one small cup holder, so I can see why it may not be for everyone, but that cup holder is exactly what I need! 🤣
It is definitely great for when you take a break during driving. I would not leave it in permanently though.
@@narancs5 I wouldn't use it when driving my vehicle most of the time, but the use case for me is when I'm dashing on the rare occasion that I have more than one or two drinks to deliver with an order. So for me, in that particular case, because I only have a single cup holder in my car, it makes more sense than just a drink carrier sitting on my seat and will probably prevent spills.
100% that product is meant for delivery drivers
@@Moolord23 Also for when the drive thru runs out of cup holders.
I keep ChapStick in my car all winter long and have to keep it in the ashtray. This car was a hand-me-down through the family so the ashtray was never used for cigarettes but having a little spot for it would definitely be awesome for cars that don't otherwise have a convienent spot that you don't have to use your eyes to find. Anything that I can reach for, and not look at is a plus in my opinion.
Enjoyed the detailed review of Etsy car products! It's great to see someone taking the time to test each one for practicality and aesthetics. The rubber duck valve stems were hilarious.
whyd the other one get taken down
One of the chakra alignments was deemed too graphic for RUclips
@@dhillaz that's fair
they WERE kinda nasty
13:23. This tint job looks amazing
Best tint job ever. I think they call it bubblicious.
😂
3:13 it looks like that miata had a stroke lmao
Would love to see a video going over the personal cars of the donut crew, perhaps even a series with an episode per crew member, talking through their cars, why they chose them and the decisions behind any mods.
That would be cool especially with James's e30
For future reference. If you shine a UV light onto anything that should glow in the dark it will "charge" up the glowing so you can see it really easy.
18:51 Man, that plasti dip is destroyed! Even after that guy tried to prove that you didn't do it right and sent you some of his own product, its still a mess.
Those aftermarket tire valve stem caps are bad news if they are made from aluminum. They get stuck on with corrosion after about six months and are a pain in the butt to get them back off.
Good shout, it's a lesson I learned the hard way. Still love decorative caps but only go for ones with a plastic interior.
I like the miata with the Forest Whitaker modification 🤣🤣
I love the 'Fire Missiles' button in the Civic. In my 1985 VW GTI I made stickers that turned the blank switches into fake button from the game 'SpyHunter'.
Missiles, Machine Guns, Oil Slick and Smoke Screen.
That wooden cup holder thingy would be perfect to place inbetween those couch cushions so you and your bud can watch some old sick WWF cage match fights with the Arby's Roast Beef sammiches with cheddar sauce and curly fries! a little ketchup holder in case you fancy a Quater Pounder instead. The Possibilities! lol
The only steering wheel cover I would ever get would be a fuzzy one. Makes it just like driving a squirrel.
That's pimp.
Love these videos. You don’t take this stuff too seriously and see the funny side of stuff. These are definitely ‘from Grandma’ gifts. Over here in the UK that crochet cover would get you into trouble, especially with the annual MOT. For those who don’t know it’s a very strict yearly safety check required by law.
What would be interesting to know is what material is used for the 3D printed parts? The most common Material for 3D printing nowadays is PLA which unfortunately isn't very heat nor UV resistant, meaning that it wouldn't be so suitable for the steeringwheel hook at the end, since part of it would get a lot of direct sunlight and thus probably warp and become brittle with time.
It should be made in something like PETG for example.
Would bet that it's just whatever the cheapest martial is, since even cheap stuff would probably last long enough to beat out the 30 day or whatever product return period.
I work with ABS/ASA because it lasts basically forever, but yeah a lot of stores will use PLA as it's easy to print. 3D printers are a tool, not a factory, but hustler-types treat them as a factory and that's where bad quality products come from.
PLA+ is comparable to PETG but as easy to print as PLA, in fact in my country you can't even buy regular PLA only PLA+ so that's all I use and I honestly wouldn't want any printed product which is only PLA unless it's decorative and Silk PLA or something
I saw that at least a couple said it was ABS printed, so those are all good to go.
Pretty sure those people are smart enough to use PETG or other temperature resistant materials. It's not as if PETG is heaps more expensive than PLA for this kind of stuff.
2:01 No one peeped he almost trashed that MacBook 😂😂
Shocked at Nolan’s response. I would’ve loved those custom head rest covers.
Cool idea but the embroidery looked kinda cheap and patchy. A nicer version of that? Definitely could be worth
Hey Donut crew. Long time viewer here (5+ years).
Love what you guys have been doing. But I’m just wondering, are you guys alright? The vibes are different and it seems a lot more tense, and less natural. Hope your crew is doing well.
I started to notice this a while ago and don't watch their content very much anymore because of it, just Real Mechanic Stuff. Checked out this video and felt the issue was still there. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who's noticed this as (fittingly) it's been killing my vibe.
jobe is def using that chap stick holder for a penjamin
"That's really thoughtful, but it's trashing my vibe right now" - best way to tell a friend, "nah that shit is trash." lmao
Nolan walking out with the "WHat did you guys do now?" Look will always be my favorite part of this video! This channel is my favorite channel next to "Real mechanic stuff" . Even when you guys talk about serious stuff, you always keep me interested and entertained! Thanks for putting in such hard work for such awesome content!!
Those ducky stem covers would be cool for a Wrangler. New spin on getting "ducked".
I was thinking the exact same thing, it’s perfect for the duck duck keep crowd
The zyn holder being only for a Tacoma feels extremely appropriate
Yep wonder if there is a wape holder for subaru cup holders :P
Zach out here keeping the car guys and watch guys interested!!!
Love the Seiko
Yep, that's his second GMT correct?
haven't watched donut in a while and clicked on this video and immediately noticed it haha
I thought Zach was wearing Matt Farah's Nodus.
Edit. I am incorrect.
Came to the comments hoping to see this. Zach has good taste in watches.
A Seiko? Wake me up when it's something interesting...
It was cool to see Subaru sponsor their video. I just picked up an Alpine Green CT Wilderness a couple months ago.
I love that you guys are getting sponsored by whole car brands! I've been a fan since the beginning and you guys continue to grow and kick ass.
Honestly a Chapstick holder is so simple but brilliant. In Michigan you are either in the hot humid summer or freezing cold winter. I have 3 Chapstick's depending on where I am at. I have 1 I keep at work, home, and in my truck. The one in my truck I put in my middle counsel so it doesn't melt from the sun or freeze in the winter and always have to dig to find it.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Yep!
Edit: He edited his comment but the original comment was (Only the real fan ones know its a re-upload)

yup@@TheeEuno
I was watching it and then I suddenly got a message saying that the video is not available anymore.

Thank you so much for featuring our fresheners!🙌🔥
What would help Nolan out more is to get his rear window retinted. At 13:22, those bubbles are throwing off my vibe.
I really don't get why he disliked the custom head rest cover. That was awkward af.
People are charging US$40 for shitty 3D prints? Damn, I could be making some cash.
As a parent who has to get drinks for his kids, that 4 in 1 cup holder is actually perfect
Love the video especially the ducks, please tell me he left them on! 😂
But on a serious note, even though the cup holder was kinda in the way for general driving but it would be absolutely fabulous for all the great gig drivers on the road, wish i had it when I was delivering for door dash! Keep up the good work guys! 👍
Asa Zyn user myself it can get stuck in the cupholder because it's the size of it. But I have an F-250 so it sits in the rectangular spot next to the cupholders
everyone needs a little lysol with there beverage! 🤣🤣11:36
And Listerine
I clicked on the video at first and it was privated, thought my morning was doomed 😂
I am so thankful you guys reviewed my OOBERHIGH ducky tire caps! You guys rock!!
Hey! Love the review videos, I have a suggestion for a future one however, I do a lot of off road competitions and fire extinguishers are a must have, I have personally used plenty of dry chem ABC models but I feel as thought it would be entertaining and informative if you guys went through some of the other options suck as Element extinguishers, purple K extinguishers and CO2 models, we all put a lot of money into our rigs and cars and to be able to protect them and save people when the worst happens is really important to a lot of us! Thanks!!
Novelty valve stem covers was something I never would have thought existed, but I kinda love it.
Beyond rubber ducks, Amazon has .40 S&W casings, red solo cups, phalluses, hands giving the middle finger, skulls, dice, happy faces, and more.
Valve stem covers have been a thing since the 80's. Every kid had the dice on their BMX bikes.
That spinning record player aligned my shockras a lot more than it should have bahaha 🤣
My Chapstick/lip balm holder is the bottom half of an empty 25-count Slim Jim box I store in my center console. Keeping it company are a few pens, a small Post-It/stick notepad, nail clippers, emery board (Oh, my eyebrows ain't plucked; there's a gun in my truck), and other small items I don't want rattling around needlessly.
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
(The U.S. Marines would've eaten me alive, but I love this mantra and use it all the time.)
That Subaru at 4:05 from Etsy is pretty neat 😊
hope they do a video on window tinting and fix Nolans rear window
They could talk about the laws in various states about how dark your windows are allowed to be. In NC, your windows can't be too dark if you're in a car or hatchback, but if it's a truck/SUV, there is no limit. Doesn't make sense.
is this a reupload
Can you do a video on the right OBD sensor for average person to mechanic and what’s the best choice for the user I am intrigued but your the only media I stand by
That last item, the steering wheel holder/visor clip. I like the idea for say, car meets and stuff, but I don't think I'd be leaving my steering wheel hanging right in the window if I'm in a store or something, or even at home. Kind of an advertisement for thieves to come take your wheel lol
Why did they delete the first one and re-upload it
The sponsor spot is different than the last one.
They forgot to edit out the part where Zach said the n-word 54 times. True story.

Reupload?
I made my own 3rd gen Tacoma 3D printed part for that square compartment to hold my Vape mod , multi tool, and pens. But I didn’t make it full depth, and just tapered it to fit snug. Only problem was, that once it heated up in the sun, it compressed in size and could no longer fit the things I made it for. So make sure to account for more clearance if anyone makes something similar. Chew cans included
I've got a 3d printed double gauge pod in my b6 Ultrasport and I think it's mega. Had it 2 years, no problem.
I would die if Adam shows up to the first round with the cover still on, it won't pass tech...it would still be funny
Most of these aren’t bad they’re just…. Pointless.
We recently went from Glad ro Kirkland, and enjoy the cost savings and its wkrking just fine!
I got covers for the warnings on the sun visors to match the color of cloth. Maybe the best $4 I ever spent, gets rid of the annoying white and yellow on there both inside and looking from the outside if they’re down, they look good. I’ve done very small things to improve the look of my car, and very happy with them like this.
5:23 if the holder is made out of PLA there is a possibility of the holder warping due to the summer heat.
Also watch some brands of chapstick completely liquify
@@madmayhem2000 This too.
I've seen this somewhere... 🤔

went to zoomies closest near me(about an hour) got me the white donut t shirt, great quality, i love it

Love that you went all the way and stitched the cover in

The ad changed

Coming straight to the comments to see what's up on the reupload...
used the wrong suburu ad in the first one
First accessory I bought for my car was a chapstick holder off of Etsy. It totally aligns my chakras. Mine was a friction-fit horizontal mount, though. No rattling.
I got the record player vent insert for my dad for fathers day since he collects vinyls. I got him that over 3 years ago and its still going strong.
Just finished the first upload of this video
Real one’s know this is a repost
the visual indicator for airflow be it as a vinyl or something else isn't a bad idea

Thanks for the stickers guys! Keep up the awesome work!
Why’d the video get taken down and reuploaded lol
i was wondering m,y self the same
Every like this comment gets ill do another push-up
Not sure about the Miata but the 240sx headlights can be adjusted to pop up lower for the same look. If the Miata has the same "sleepy headlight" adjustment then that kit seems kinda pointless. Personally I love the OEM headlights but I guess this is a great option if your OEM lights are broken, with the diminishing stock of the OEM headlight part availability.
I appreciate you giving these people a shout out and bringing them business. You are good people and a good channel. Thanks for helping them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
