I have been a Cop for 14 years and you are 100% correct. I love fast cars and motorcycles. We are losing freedoms at an exponential rate in the USA. Stupid actions like he mentioned will only give tyrants ammunition and more power to do that faster.
You are the gun that those very tyrants point at the public to take those freedoms away day by day. How 'bout some self-awareness and realize you're punishing the wrong people and should be going after those making corrupt-for-profit law. You also have the choice of officer's discretion in nearly any ticket you choose to write. Don't act like you're all being forced into tyranny...
@@CaseyPutsch I do, often and loudly. I have been since the Bush era when I was in high school during the collapse of the Towers, that we watched live broadcast on TV.
@@RollinwithRoland Yet, they're the first call you make when your t1t's in the wringer, right? Do you even KNOW any cops? They're underpaid, there aren't enough of them and idiots treat them poorly. As a young man, I rode in a LOT of cop cars, either to the station for bailing out, or dropped off into my parents' custody and never ONCE did I think the cop was responsible for me being a dumbass. Grow up and please, for all of us, don't reproduce.
@@mcseforsale I've known quite a few, and I have said for almost 2 decades now since I nearly went into law enforcement myself, that they needed to be paid better. At the time I considered it at 20 years old, I was already making 42K a year to operate a forklift and would have taken a 15k pay cut to start... If they were paid more(or properly spent their current budget), they might attract better quality people to the positions that wouldn't be so silently complicit in watching some other bad apples get away with things they shouldn't...
I watch a lot of automotive RUclips, DDE, Stradman, Hoovie, Tavarash, Vinwiki, etc. Some of those cops deserve to be called out, others are just click bait. Notice Casey didn't call out Ed specifically for the Cannonball stuff, only the channels he personally doesn't like.
Lmao so true. He just likes to make himself out to look like a great hero. Out here keeps us safe and changing the world!…..lol liked his stories but definitely complains when he’s butt hurt…same with the donut media drama….we was wayyy out of line lol he’s a male Karen 🤷🏻
Beyond true..... So tired of Casey's Bs lately. His last 2 or so years have gone massively downhill..... Can't believe Ed who handed him a golden spoon is called out in this. Absolutely ridiculous, he should shove a 🍆 in his mouth and shut it. Casey ever heard of a thing called freedom? We live in America why are we talking about unjust laws, you clearly don't care about the country or the car community otherwise you'd take a look at the fact that lambo people and cops do a fine job of making themselves look bad, we dont need you on a soapbox about how you wanna gobble a cops schlong..... we shouldn't have effing speed limits on highways, we shouldn't require ridiculous emissions crap on the small amount of cars that choose to modify. Sounds like you're just jealous and sad you can't get views and your pp is small.
As much as I agree with you on a lot of the points you brought up. DDE channel is dedicated to the supercar “lifestyle”. Rallies/road-trips, car builds, and just showing what it’s like to _daily drive exotics._ Then on the flip side, they also video interactions they have with cops. You drive a fast car, you’re going to get pulled over. We’ve all been pulled over from time to time for speed. Their videos have been featured on a few “audit” RUclips pages, where they talk about our rights as citizens. Just like cops make sure we aren’t breaking laws, we need to also been holding them accountable and making sure their policing is appropriate. When SOME officers see guys in supercars, they already have preconceived notions. They think it’s a good way for them to make their quota, and make the county a few bucks. Just because Damon and Dave know their rights, doesn’t make them jerks. We should all fight our tickets. Edit: just finished watching… It speaks VOLUMES when you said “now I have no interest in watching these people”. If you’re going to make a video on them, and act like you know what they’re REALLY about, you should probably go ahead and do a minimal amount of research. Not just base it off of rumors, and thumbnails and titles. Sorry Casey, but this was pretty ridiculous. But you’re standing up for what YOU believe in, and I respect that alone. Your voice has been heard. Good luck with whatever is to come.
Casey, I agree with some of your points, but I think the real public enemy number 1 for car culture is intersection takeovers and street racing. That has got to stop.
Street racing was not a big deal back when people had the sense to do it on an abandoned industrial backroad late at night far from any innocent bystanders and were mostly doing it in 14+ second cars that had little chance of crashing. But now, people don't want to do anything unless there's a big crowd and everyone knows about it.
He didn't bring that up because nobody in that "community" is as big as the 3 he mentioned. He said he doesn't care about anything, but is only seeking out three of the biggest RUclipsrs, looks to me like he is trying to afford more views.
VINWiki gave you what you have today when it comes to your social media, and you’re going to turn around a slap the creator of that channel in the face, saying that he has daddy issues.?
@@nobody2685 but u just replied to a comment that itself assumes to be a real car person... ur logic breaks down. not ONLY THAT IT WAS SPEAKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE LOL
@@richeyrich2203 i guess all the karen's are there on the chat . why the f did you make this video. what this guy is doin is also wrong by mentioning other youtuber names to get attention to his channel . this guy does not know the history of car community .he just made my day worse
And if what others do causes changes in law that then affect us. Nah sorry lunchboxdubs but you can't just sit back, or eventually you will lose all your liberties
Casey has some incredible videos out there but there's a reason DDE has so many more subscribers. It's about shock value, it's about chaos. Let people in the community do what they wanna do. Someone's Lambo wreck has nothing to do with Casey, they got in his head baaad :'D
@mrdejavuking7395 Oh I am not doubting that he doesn't drive like a maniac, he said some bad things in this vid but some good things, there are genuinely people who do crazy shit online for fame and attention especially with police. Back in the day, RUclips used to be managed, safe illegal driving with a rare cop occurrence. Like all the @gtboard videos. Yet most of those were legal because it was on track or on the Autobahn.
TBH street takeovers, Kia/Hyundai joy rides, "traffic swimming", Cars and Coffee exits into crowds, etc are all way more visible and problematic than a couple of rich guys driving their Ferrari cross-country appreciably above the speed limit. Street takeovers in particular are going to be the fastest way to kill enthusiast vehicles. Cannonball is pretty much dumb and pointless and I don't care about it whatsoever, but it's not the big fish to fry.
DDE is very respectful to law enforcement.... if anything they try and make the cops out as the good guys... and they show the public proper way to do traffic stops... which can be strong but always polite
For Every Savage Garage (Don't even to get in the mess that channel is now) There is a Stradman Hoovie and Cleetus . The last one bought a track so they could be nuts and still keep it relatively safe . The problem will really come into play as drag strips and other tracks gets forced to move as Urban Sprawl comes into play and the real Karens start screaming that the tracks they knew were there when they bought their house are TOO LOUD ... Car love is in trouble and there is nothing we can do about it
Also the only illegal thing he talked about was cannonball but he was way more worked up when talking about DDE. Kinda weird since they if the videos show and glorify illegal activity they would be sent to the police with arrests following.
I think Casey would do better if he studied channels like Drew Gooden and Cody Ko. If you critique something just being mad, the story is "This RUclipsr is mad." Instead, you need to show the offending clips from other videos and point out objective problems with individual clips. When you say that you've never seen someone's videos but they are always doing XYZ, you lose some credibility as it sounds like you are uninformed on the topic. Also, when you roast someone, it needs to be funny or specific to the person. Saying people you don't know have "daddy issues" is only funny if there's some truth or common generalization to it. Don't get me wrong, someone needs to point out bad elements of car culture but the message shouldn't come across as "old man yells at cloud."
The whole social media aspect has turned the car community into something I never dreamed of joining. I don't even go to meets much anymore cause its all just a flex of money and influence.
Same here in south America There's2 types of people, people who wants to look meaner/more gangster with their cars, people that just uses cars as status symbol You rarely see people that actually likes cars
The way that these channels portray cars like that have ruined supercars for me for life. I can't but see them now as someones investment like a house or land more than as a car anymore. And a lot of people are in them that aren't car people at all, but a business friend has told that they make a good investment and hey - you can drive them and go to these posh rallies with them too
GREAT JOB....mention DDE in your title and you've gotten more views off this one video than any video you put out this year. lets see how your next video does without mentioning any other you tubers
We hear you Casey. This is why we need to push grassroots car racing on legal, closed, controlled courses. I do it in rally and mini bike races, you do it on paved road courses and go karts. It’s not hard to do and can cost a lot less than paying a lawyer and court fees after going to jail.
I can't agree with that more. But i would like to toss in that it would have to be set up in a way to allow anyone to go. Where it can be affordable to take your own car if someone wants to go that route.
@@SPIKE3725 I bought an $800 car that I take to local rallycross events on the weekends. It’s $30 to race each weekend. Racing cheaply can be done but a lot of people think you have to spend thousands. Buy a beater and enter it local races with no cage requirements.
sadly they are shutting down local race tracks all over the country because Karens buy a house next to a race track and cry about the noise. BUT we have TONS of empty parking lots where you could set up a street cross event and have actual timing and track officials.
@@RollinwithRoland Easy there! I'm a one legged paraplegic and consider myself a car guy. Just because you are not shifting your own gears does not negate the fact that we can all be car guys in our own way. Have a great rest of your day.
@@mrray55 I can understand that and will likely be that way myself one day with the way I like to shred offroad. I'm speaking more to the people that are able to drive manual and choose not to, letting them almost nearly disappear from the new car market...
I agree with a lot of what you said until you took a shot at Canada, which was uncool. If you were to actually watch a DDE video, you would know that the titles are for "Clickbait" and that they treat the police with utmost respect and accept a ticket without argument when it is warranted.
@@gary1971100 buddy… you simple minded people are the reason canada is a mess and you still can’t put your finger on it as to why… 😂 it’s hilarious at this point.
@@5MGE not your buddy! Maybe you should learn to read. And please do me a favour and stay south of our border. If you are already up here, please move south, if America would take you.
THIS JUST IN: recording cops and asking them questions on traffic stops is antagonizing and means you have daddy issues. This screams “i lick boots and do as im told no matter what”
100%. Fu k this commie loser. Speeding is cool if he approves and it’s in the “American spirit of civil liberties” but if this narcissistic geek does not approve, SHAME ON YOU, lecture time. You ain’t our daddy, mind your fuckin business loser.
You know who I like is Wistlin Diesel he always has positive interactions with the police till he doesn't ie his court case. But still he worked with them in his recent video and it was downright wholesome.
Thank you Casey. I'm with you 100%. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend many years ago. He'd gotten his first motorcycle. He talked about how he was 'racing' cars and blowing their doors off. But he wasn't racing anything, he was just passing unsuspecting motorists at high rates of speed. So I told him that they were just people going home, or to pick up their kids or to get groceries. That he was breaking the law and that this sort of behavior makes car drivers irritated--or worse. That it reflects on all motorcyclists, and I told him about how cars have purposely swerved into me or people have thrown garbage at me when I was riding at legal speed--and that the only reason people would do this was because someone else on a motorcycle made them angry at some point. I then told him that I cared about him and didn't want to see him hurt, arrested or imprisoned, and to take the racing class that I'd taken, or to sign up for track days where he could ride with people who had the same goal of riding quickly, and where you could truly test your skills in a controlled environment. He seemed to get it.
So many local race tracks have closed, or are on the brink of closing for myriad of reasons. More and more that is pushing people to the streets. My biggest fear is governments will use this as a justification to put kill switches, gps speed limiters, and/or issue speeding tickets based on GPS measurements in all new cars. This is already in motion in EU countries. Freedom of movement will be greatly restricted if/when this comes to pass. Old cars will be enthusiasts' only refuge. Until of course they require retrofits to add these systems to all cars in order to obtain a registration.
I think what is interesting too is how costly it is to go run on a track. Locally where I am there are no government inspections of road going vehicles. The up front costs of street racing are $0, and everyone ignores the risks. Where I am, tracks are a hour plus drive away, seasonal, have a fairly intensive tec inspection, high fees for usage and a steep learning curve (mandatory # of hours of track time with an instructor in the passenger seat that you are paying for). The car scene is definitely gate keeping younger people out of the sport and all other regular car related costs are constantly going up anyway.
theres plenty of shuttered big box stores and such all over the country so use those parking lots for a "street cross" type of event. And you could set it up in any configuration depending on size and maybe even an 1/8 mile drag strip. but i'm sure the Karens would kick and scream about that to.
I just know your the guy making a fuss at your local HOA meeting when someone paints their shutters a non approved color or doesnt have their trash can pulled from the curb fast enough for your liking. Worry about yourself. Grown adults are capable of making their own decisions.
I like watching the cop interactions because I like watching the things I cannot do and would not do. For me it is simply entertainment, good or bad. Its entertainment. DDE's videos are rarely bad with Cops. Most cops know who they are and respect them and they respect each other. With Savage garage, maybe you should stay quiet about targeting Randy's channel. Randy was a great guy! Attacking his channel after he passed is more disrespectful than anything these channels have done. If I were you I wouldn't let it bother me, sounds like a bunch of unnecessary stress/anxiety which I did not hear one thing mentioned that affected you personally. Good luck with that hate
Need for Speed, fast & furious, cannonball, getaway in stockholm… “real car people” lol No it’s not encouraged but don’t act like illegal street racing is not a part of car culture
I completely agree that trying to rouse the coppers is dumb, but I no longer have respect for the police as an institution. The police arrested and shut down people's business and lives, they arrested people who went to church, and they will arrest one side and ignore the other. While an individual officer can earn my respect, it will have to be earned because I no longer give it out free. Unpopular opinion probably, but I have seen it too much myself and experienced it myself, the corruption of the system. But as I said, doing dumb things to get the cops to do something is childish and stupid. Edit: also can we stop having attractive girls as click bait for RUclips car videos?
I like your content. I have enjoyed your stories on VinWiki, which is where I first saw you as well. I am not sure what your motivation is here, but I don't agree with your commentary as it is a huge generalization. I can agree people should never race in the street or mess with cops or put the wrong light on folks who own exotics. I get that. I don't agree with the shade you are throwing at other RUclipsrs. There is a lot of hubris to associate all car guys as not liking something because you don't like it. That's just wrong. To be direct it's petty and makes you seem envious of their fame. If you watch DDE, they do have shenanigans, this is true. However, they don't promote a lot of what you suggest they do. They've been featured on audit channels for the proper way to communicate and deal with police who are clearly targeting exotics because it is easy. You, like they, are going to have your set of antics to get attention to your channel. Sort of like this video. Which will get attention as it stirs controversy and is divisive. I can understand where you are coming from, but I don't think your message is measured or honest. In some ways, you are even besmirching VinWiki, which helped you get your name into the minds of your audience. Focus on your own channel and your own content and don't focus on what others are doing. You'll have your audience and they'll have there's and there will be crossover. This feels really petty. But I appreciate what you're doing.
I fully agree with this. I used to be a HUGE DDE fan quite a few years ago but I just stopped watching after awhile when most videos seemed to be only about police, supercar crashes and then buying a new car.
Yep they are craving for attention now. The cops are doing their jobs and they’re upset about it. Is it petty stuff some of it but when it’s about haters and cops all the time I don’t care
You know what's sad, is DDE thinks their "LA shenanigans" are their best work, their best work was during lockdown, when Damon was spending time with his family and friends, while doing car things. Spending time with his wife and daughters, both on the island and after the move and then with Ray, Mike, Matt, Ryan was more real than the LA stuff. As well as having people building their cars, like Aaron doing their own DDE shows in a build series was some of their best work.
I'm not a fan of DDE and I've never watched Savage Garage, so we can agree on that. As for the Cannonball and Vinwiki, no innocent person has been killed in pursuit of a Cannonball. If that's what they want to do, it's their choice. I'm not going to judge them and I enjoy the stories. So thanks for the feedback.
When I saw the community post I at first thought to myself "well this is just petty/silly", but after rethinking it, I can see Casey's point and have to say, as cool as all that messing with the cops stuff used to be in my eyes, I came away from this agreeing with the overarching point. Thank you Casey for being willing to say the unpopular stuff, knowing the amount of butthurt it will cause. Don't have to agree on everything, but that's not an excuse for defending illegal/stupid behavior that can place others in danger. Hope you're keeping well. Big ups from South Africa.
@@CaseyPutsch been watching your content for some time and I've always enjoyed your ability to look at all the view points. As a younger guy whos made some really stupid mistakes and nearly went down a bad path, I can honestly say I've taken a lot of knowledge and wisdom from your content. Keep up the amazing work you do, looking forward to watching many more hours of your work.
Clearly this is the example of “one bad apple spoils the rest”. Parents would refuse buying a kid a decently sporty car just because of this. Most innocent car guys are being clumped into the mess of these reckless people.
I had the same thought about that Vinwiki video. All that kid was doing was tempting fate. Yes, that's part of being a kid. But as kid, I learned a very valuable lesson about loosing things I loved because of other's lack of responsibility. I used to ride 3 wheelers, spent 10 years on Honda ATC's. Started on a 110, got a 200x and ended with a 350x. But I watched all sorts of people do all sorts of stupid things(I could only imagine what that could have been today). But people started complaining, blaming the machines for their own behavior. It only took a few years, in 1986 they were banned. Yes, I got a great deal on my 350x. But there was never going to be 400x or 650x etc. It was over, Honda and the other guys were legislated out of the game. When people say, but cars are different, no it isn't. There are those in this world who want to take as much away from us as possible. I can tell you when it comes to cars, that paperwork has been sitting in a drawer in Washington DC since at least the 70's. They are just biding their time, they will wait generations if necessary. They want all of us who are motorheads, gone. These guys who are fooling around for clicks, are bringing that day closer. One day they will wake up and...
I rode 3 wheelers ( Honda 90, 185S, 200X and 84 250R) as well back in the 80s. That 60 Minutes episode pretty much put a nail in the the coffin for them.
I also had 3 wheelers back in the day and I also started with an 85 KLT-110. The 200x and 350x were awesome and super reliable and You could ride almost all day on a tank of gas. The Honda 250R, Yamaha Tri-Z 250 and the Tecate from Kawasaki were beasts. I was Luckey enough to rip my buddies Tri-Z 250 as a teen and you had to have a healthy respect for those machines or things would go south real fast. There's a modern company that makes 3 wheeler chassis for the CR500 motor. I've also had my share of CR125R's and the 2 biggest ones I regret selling were the 89 Honda Pilot with the ATV racing CR500 kit and my 89 TRX250R. Your 1000% right about bureaucrats and politicians chomping at the bit to take more of our rights away and it's sad how many people don't see it. They want us under as much control as possible and that's why I won't buy modern vehicles because of all the big brother crap in them. My cars/truck are from the 90's lol
@@lancairw867 I've seen that and it was 100% 1 sided and politically motivated. Like anything you gotta use caution, some common sense plus know your abilities and you'll be fine for the most part.
Casy, do you need a hug today? While I do agree, videos blatantly taunting the cops with your car are stupid, YOU to do the same thing on a smaller scale. I’m fairly confident you and your students drove the Omega car on the road by the shop over the posted speed of 50 mph. Let’s not forget your Viper in a small town videos…., speeding…., maybe a bit and going for views on VINWiki?? Pot calls the kettle black…. You do you, but please finish King Zero first.
I'm glad you highlighted the original purpose of Brock Yates' Cannonball. I think the protest in defense of personal freedom aspect is forgotten today, and today it's purely about rich guys with expensive cars stroking their egos on the internet. It should also be noted that Yates himself scuttled the event in period because of safety concerns due to people showing up with faster and faster cars, having zero concern for the underlying issue itself and just wanting to gun for the record.
Truly spoken like someone who lives in the country with very little strict enforcement and the means to go play on the racetrack whenever you want. If only we could all be so fortunate eh? I'd LOVE to go racing Rally/RallyX/Baja/Dakar/etc in cars, truck or motorcycles with a MANUAL clutch but racing is WAY too expensive!
About time someone said something about DDE. I am a true car enthusiast and I love the cars that DDE showcase but what they are doing is ridiculous. I caught on what they were all about after just a few videos, as a result I don't watch any of their videos.
While I don't always approve of how the other channels do things. Let's also be fair and at least talk about how Savage garage themselves said some of the antics were mistakes. And DDE has been pulled over and harassed and even had a car impounded over not having a California license. Which they aren't required to. Doesn't mean I agree with all of their actions. But it does make me wonder if you've seen any of those videos before coming here to preach. I've loved your channel. But lashing out this way isn't the best way to do it. You have some valid points and I'll admit to that. Though let's again be honest. Street take overs and such are doing far far far far more damage to the car community than any of these channels have ever done.
Yeah, this is just a dig at more successful RUclipsrs. I unsubbed from Casey today and Ill remove all recommendations of his content. Lost absolutely all respect. You want to talk about the issues of "car community" bring up the idiots who do the takeovers and drift into people killing them. THAT is an issue, THAT is the group of people WE car enthusiasts raise nowadays, and that is not a youtube channels fault, its a lack of engagement from parents and community. This whole video is pathetic, with a tiny dash of fair points from an angry bright coloured painted supercar and superbike owner squeeling "youre ruining it for me"...seriously pathetic
No he didn’t look at all the videos!! he checked out a couple clickbait titles then read ONLY negative reviews on DDE videos then came here and claimed they’re just “brats with daddy issues”. Like how the hell is anyone taking this seriously😂 the community has issues but this isn’t the guy to address them.
This is just a pathetic attempt to get views. He says that car RUclipsrs are bad for using click bait with cops in videos he just did the same thing by name dropping car RUclipsrs that are bigger then him. Kinda hypocritical if you ask me, couldn’t even watch the whole video it was so cringe. Bet he never watched a DDE video I have never seen them messing with the cops for views. Last I checked it was nothing illegal with driving a exotic car in the us unless the Karen have changed the laws. You are destroying the car community by hating on others. Real car people know how to appreciate one another you should know that. Big love to all the real car guys and hope the Karen’s of the car community can grow up and stop hating so much ❤
I don't respect laws, I respect my common sense, as you said the autobahn has no speed limit but it's safer than any American highway, what's the difference? Discipline, getting a driver's license should be more difficult than getting a pilot's license. Speed limits as a rule don't make sense, you can't apply a fixed condition to a changing situation, it's more dangerous to drive a Honda at 60mph than a Lamborghini at 100mph, an AWD car can drive faster in rain or snow than a 2WD, I even say that speed limits are dangerous, I've seen people roll over an SUV on a curve and not understanding why that happened since they were below the limit, speed limits are a suggestion, and that's how I understand them, treating it as a rule is a mistake, want to reduce the number of accidents, create drivers who know how to respect the limits of the car and know how to interpret road conditions.
I like Ed and VINWiki but I’m with ya. As a fellow car guy myself, I’ve looked at rubbish like cannonball runs and messing with cops with foolish behavior that ruins it for the rest of us, and potentially dangerous. The internet is poison.
Man you nailed it. TY for covering this. I despise irresponsible street racers. Back woods abandoned roads with spotters are fine but not when you risk others lives. Oh and the crotch rocker queens. MAYBE 1 in 100 is a good rider. I get a sadistic joy in watching videos of them wiping out. 99% of the time it's their fault. People keep doing this crap and they WILL start doing crap like banning any vehicle that can go over like 100mph (remember, they did that before).
There’s actually a video still up on vinwiki rn where a guy admits to committing multiple crimes including fraud. -- using a fake ID to rent a car - The Turo video. I’m convinced Ed doesn’t care 😔
I think there's a difference between skirting and flouting the law. Skirting it sort of speaks to that American rebelliousness. Dressing up a car with a light bar for example. If you use it responsibly, it's not an issue. But if you take it too far then it becomes something else. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt to people, but I do think it's worth calling out people who are clearly in the wrong. I'm with you on the being tired of flouting the law. Intentionally and flamboyantly antagonizing the cops hurts everyone. Let's keep moving car culture in positive directions. Things like autocross are super cool and relatively low risk. I am sure people will give you crap for using negativity to "sell" this video or whatever, but I think your points are well made
While I usually don’t agree with or enjoy Casey’s content, this time he is spot on. Sadly these “content creators” arent real car humans, but people who need to have the clicks and views to survive. And the stuff they do for it makes real car humans look bad. And it promotes the bad behavior and that’s how we end up with things like the sideshow that killed people in wildwood last year. And why we can’t just hold random car meets with friends anymore.
Well, Casey, thanks a bunch! I was on the 405 trying to schedule an event with the Peterson Museum during a conference call with their representatives, Rusty Peters and Dusty McLaren, hoping for a call back from Ed Bolian. I had just unsubscribed from Rabbit's Used Cars, then just into the first minute of your video, enjoying a taco and Baja Blast while driving my Ferrari with my knee, which I have become quite proficient doing. I guess I didn't see his lights or hear the siren over Twisted Sister's Greatest Hits. The cop must have had a bad day because he split hairs to write me a speeding ticket for 127 in a 70 when all I was doing was keeping up with the traffic! I mean, I get what you're saying about messing with cops, but I pay their salary, aren't they mine to mess with? As long as I'm not endangering anyone's life, which I did not, because I'm a safe driver, that violates my First Amendment rights of expressing myself while driving. Next thing you know, Biden will make us all buy self driving Teslas and let the cops set all our speed!
@@CaseyPutsch Prepare, the end is coming soon. Surely you've seen the signs on the roads? Before long it's all-electric and the only place to get gas is at a Mexican restaurant.
Gonna Defend Ed Bolian here because he was THE person who got me into the car community, and is THE reason I found out about Casey and Genius Garage. I think he's a great person, but definitely more and more people everyday glorify bad behavior, and Ed has not exactly done the best job downplaying it. I still love Ed, I don't think it's 100% his fault, it's hard when everyone in the car community nowadays wants to be an "Outlaw", but he's got the money and power, he could do a better job teaching good values. He used to when he first started his RUclips Channel, he can do it again. The biggest problem with the car community, in all honesty, is the lack of policing towards people with money. I'm not saying shut it down, I grew up and love things like the Cannonball Run and the GumBall Run, but we respected a lot of those people, not because they had money, but because they were worth respecting. Nowadays, any idiot with a Lamborghini is like "Respect Me." Nah man, that's not given. Respect is not Bought, Respect is Earned. I've always wanted to do the Cannonball Run, and probably will do it one day, but more and more everyday, the lack of interest in safety and respect for other people from the so called "Cannonballers" has somewhat deterred me. I never wanted to do it for fame, but now, how do I do something I want to do, without other people thinking I just want to be another "rich person with money who doesn't care about the rules?"
Casey, dude I love your content but you are being completely hypocritical. I commented on a video of you speeding around people on public roads in a Lamborghini and you proceeded to insult that I’m into air cooled Porsches and block me on Instagram. You have to understand that you are most definitely a proponent of showing a young audience that driving unsafe on public roads is cool and fun cause someone they look up to is doing it. I find the disconnect from your fervent argumentative nature when I said that might be a bad idea vs now with a 15 minute video about how doing exactly that which you have done is so bad… do better and don’t be so aggressive when your fans try to warn you that you are spreading bad ideas to a young audience.
I have a police vehicle replica. It rides the Grey area in legality. But I use the car to promote the work I do as an upfitter. I use it to help non profits in our area. I have driven this car for 2 years and because I don't drive like an idiot and respect our law enforcement folks, I have never been pulled over. Respects goes both ways for all
Hey Phil just checked out a video you posted. You know the one where you run a red light, then are surprised when you almost get t-boned. You definitely seem like those the type of person who would give clout to those channels Casey mentioned. I mean you went through that light like that shit wasn't even there lol that was super cool. You should drive like that more often so maybe one day your luck will run out and it will be one last dumb ass on the road. #running red lights is cool and fun.
It's the same everywhere sadly, I simply won't attend most car shows in the UK now apart from big track events and classic car shows where owners are typically older and behave better! Everyone else these days is risking life and limb to try and get on RUclips, people have literally been killed, it's saddening This change of direction has already ruined it for everybody and the genuine enthusiasts
I’m close with a young teen up-and-coming car guy in my family, we pretty much text daily and hang out a few times a year. The amount of times I’ve had to talk him off of how we should go to an illegal car meet or how he’s going to go around drifting when he can drive or various other crazy stuff is insane. Anyone who’s spent time with a young car guy will get it, there’s so little positive car influence fed to them on the internet. I do my best to rub off and point him right. I’ve already told him we will do a track day or something when he’s old enough, and I don’t even have that much experience with those. Just he’s a good kid and I want him to enjoy cars instead of spending time in jail.
Much respect Casey. Growing up I always loved the sensation of speed and after reading Alex Roy's autobiography romanticizing both the speed and freedom behind the cannonball run record attempts, I always thought the cannonball record was a cool achievement. Risky and illegal yes, but at least calculated. Now that I'm older the dream is to drive fast legally and safely on a public road like you mentioned. I have to say what really bothers is the whole mentality to the approach of illegal driving. It went from deliberately trying to avoid breaking the law in-front of people to endangering others for fun. The trend of "cutting up traffic" is becoming way too popular and its always people that have no regard for the safety of others. It's becoming internet trendy to use people as autocross cones on the highway, its absurd.
I wouldn’t say that DDE intentionally gets into confrontations with police. If you actually watch the content you can see that those were organic incidents
Casey, first off Canada is a great country. I’m a proud CANADIAN. You are 100% correct in your statement that glorifying excessive speeding and giving law enforcement the finger only makes people emulate their internet heroes. Street take overs, group speeding in traffic, and this whole rev/pop/flame culture is just going to lead to more regulations that harm the entire car community. Time to take the power of internet fame and do something good with it.
Ironic how the only reason you have any semblance of an audience is a video titled "The Viper that got me kicked out of my small town" that outlines you driving illegally. This video made me lol and cringe at the same. Sucks to hear you try to clown on Ed who's given so many people like you a platform. He's the reason I was subbed to your channel.
I think what it boils down to is the fact that some folks have a hard time drawing the line between civil liberties and law. Some laws encroach on civil liberties and some civil liberties need to be regulated or else it'll be a jungle out there. I say let's make the Cannonball Run a legitimate and annual event where people from both sides work together to promote a healthy relationship of respect and understanding. Something like Le Mans where it's part track and part public roads. That's my 2 cents 😁 Another great vid, Casey. Keep up the good work.
So many people say “this is what happens when race tracks get closed” but in reality most of the people who do this stuff have little to no experience at a race track. I’m my experience in racing, the people you see at the track on a regular basis and the people you see at car shows tend to have very different interests when it comes to cars
I have 2 vehicles that are capable of 150mph... Neither have ever seen more than 120, and that was sort of by accident. It was however in a relatively safe environment. There's a time and place for everything and doing donuts in a busy intersection ain't it! Cutting up traffic on a busy highway at more than double the speed limit ain't it! I firmly agree Casey! Try to civilized people!
Someone needed to say this stuff, someone had to tell all the idiot know it alls on this stupid platform that what they were doing was bullcrap that would just hurt others. So thanks for sticking up.
Not a fan of the "real car people" retoric. I widely agree with your sentiment, but even your cars are often "illegal" in some way. Respect you putting yourself out there and having a personal vision even when I don't agree. Those that just bait cops are idiots, stay off the radar if you want to keep your ability to enjoy cars beyond the administrative pale. And consider those around you, the danger you put them in, and their annoyance level. But at the end of the day, lambos are the GSXR of the car world, they attract a certain type of owner.
Casey, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one! as much as I love cars and especially supercars, I ONLY respect the owners of said cars that drive them responsibly and only drive them fast under certian and (legal) conditions!
@@CaseyPutsch Then you should look at why instead of doing shit like this. Understand the viewer mr "algorythm". Your showing viewers here all drama and stuff they dont want in an automotive channel. Sitting next to your lambo and Ducati dont make it a carvideo. Calling out larger youtube channels to get off on their clout also is pretty thin...if you cant focus on your own shit and entertain that way, then do something else than youtube? Youre successful at other things, focus on that, and dont loose sleep over shit you dont control, or better yet, is none of your god dang business
I'm glad you spoke up about this. | One thing I would say, I have found Ed Bolian to be a pretty reasonable and level headed guy. Im impressed by his reply to youre text, he could have gone off about how youre opinion is unreasonable. But instead kept it short and sweet. That being said, I totally agree. I am worried that everyone is a race to one up each other on YT, and I see no end in sight. I was (shamelessly) watching a DDE video where Damon Fryer was pulled oveer by a cop. He obviously was being short and ignorant to try and get a rise out of the cop. In this particular video he was just so over the top obviously trying to bait the cop. And at that same time, the cop says " it really seemed like you were asking me to pull you over by pulling up beside me and revving your engine before you zoomed passed" Thats when I realized these guys really are just running around trying to get more views, and realized the cop vs supercar videos get the clicks. Im ashamed to say I am in canada too, and I am jealous of Ed, and Damon for being able to live their dreams making fake videos online that glamorize a lifestyle that's mostly made up. While I'm stuck here trying to make legit videos that just aren't getting the clicks. Its too bad even this video of yours isnt getting pushed through the algorithm. You have 200k subs, and less than 20k views after 2 weeks. Unfortunately Im not sure anything will change. But What I can say, is I am going to check out more of youre content. and have started making a more conscious decision to click away from videos that glamorize illegal activities. Or not click on them in the first place.
Another small RUclips er seeking attention for views . Shameless baiting cops lmao check audit to audit or any other cops channel Usa police sucks 😂 stop seeking attention or else u might no even get 1 view
I have been a Cop for 14 years and you are 100% correct. I love fast cars and motorcycles. We are losing freedoms at an exponential rate in the USA. Stupid actions like he mentioned will only give tyrants ammunition and more power to do that faster.
You are the gun that those very tyrants point at the public to take those freedoms away day by day. How 'bout some self-awareness and realize you're punishing the wrong people and should be going after those making corrupt-for-profit law. You also have the choice of officer's discretion in nearly any ticket you choose to write. Don't act like you're all being forced into tyranny...
Easy Tex. Direct your fury at our elected officials.
@@CaseyPutsch I do, often and loudly. I have been since the Bush era when I was in high school during the collapse of the Towers, that we watched live broadcast on TV.
@@RollinwithRoland Yet, they're the first call you make when your t1t's in the wringer, right? Do you even KNOW any cops? They're underpaid, there aren't enough of them and idiots treat them poorly. As a young man, I rode in a LOT of cop cars, either to the station for bailing out, or dropped off into my parents' custody and never ONCE did I think the cop was responsible for me being a dumbass. Grow up and please, for all of us, don't reproduce.
@@mcseforsale I've known quite a few, and I have said for almost 2 decades now since I nearly went into law enforcement myself, that they needed to be paid better. At the time I considered it at 20 years old, I was already making 42K a year to operate a forklift and would have taken a 15k pay cut to start... If they were paid more(or properly spent their current budget), they might attract better quality people to the positions that wouldn't be so silently complicit in watching some other bad apples get away with things they shouldn't...
I watch a lot of automotive RUclips, DDE, Stradman, Hoovie, Tavarash, Vinwiki, etc. Some of those cops deserve to be called out, others are just click bait. Notice Casey didn't call out Ed specifically for the Cannonball stuff, only the channels he personally doesn't like.
Right this guy lives in CARTOON LAND.
Lmao so true. He just likes to make himself out to look like a great hero. Out here keeps us safe and changing the world!…..lol liked his stories but definitely complains when he’s butt hurt…same with the donut media drama….we was wayyy out of line lol he’s a male Karen 🤷🏻
LEGEND HAHAHAHA lets go bro Johnny Sins the car guy
Of all the people to see reply to a video like this, the absolute legend Johnny Sins is the last guy i would expect
Beyond true..... So tired of Casey's Bs lately. His last 2 or so years have gone massively downhill..... Can't believe Ed who handed him a golden spoon is called out in this. Absolutely ridiculous, he should shove a 🍆 in his mouth and shut it.
Casey ever heard of a thing called freedom? We live in America why are we talking about unjust laws, you clearly don't care about the country or the car community otherwise you'd take a look at the fact that lambo people and cops do a fine job of making themselves look bad, we dont need you on a soapbox about how you wanna gobble a cops schlong..... we shouldn't have effing speed limits on highways, we shouldn't require ridiculous emissions crap on the small amount of cars that choose to modify. Sounds like you're just jealous and sad you can't get views and your pp is small.
As much as I agree with you on a lot of the points you brought up. DDE channel is dedicated to the supercar “lifestyle”. Rallies/road-trips, car builds, and just showing what it’s like to _daily drive exotics._ Then on the flip side, they also video interactions they have with cops. You drive a fast car, you’re going to get pulled over. We’ve all been pulled over from time to time for speed. Their videos have been featured on a few “audit” RUclips pages, where they talk about our rights as citizens. Just like cops make sure we aren’t breaking laws, we need to also been holding them accountable and making sure their policing is appropriate. When SOME officers see guys in supercars, they already have preconceived notions. They think it’s a good way for them to make their quota, and make the county a few bucks. Just because Damon and Dave know their rights, doesn’t make them jerks. We should all fight our tickets.
Edit: just finished watching… It speaks VOLUMES when you said “now I have no interest in watching these people”. If you’re going to make a video on them, and act like you know what they’re REALLY about, you should probably go ahead and do a minimal amount of research. Not just base it off of rumors, and thumbnails and titles. Sorry Casey, but this was pretty ridiculous. But you’re standing up for what YOU believe in, and I respect that alone. Your voice has been heard. Good luck with whatever is to come.
couldnt hav said it better myself
Exactly
I just don't think the way DDE overdoes it is a good thing.
Hes seeking attention cause hes views not going up
@Slush I think we can all agree on that lol
Casey, I agree with some of your points, but I think the real public enemy number 1 for car culture is intersection takeovers and street racing. That has got to stop.
Also true
🥷’s
Street racing was not a big deal back when people had the sense to do it on an abandoned industrial backroad late at night far from any innocent bystanders and were mostly doing it in 14+ second cars that had little chance of crashing. But now, people don't want to do anything unless there's a big crowd and everyone knows about it.
Someone also needs to speak on the "street takeovers" that are also making us look bad!
Go to your local track/skid pad.
Yeah, that's some dumb shit too.
speak to who about it, the people that do it aren't car enthusiasts they're just idiots doing dumb stuff
He didn't bring that up because nobody in that "community" is as big as the 3 he mentioned. He said he doesn't care about anything, but is only seeking out three of the biggest RUclipsrs, looks to me like he is trying to afford more views.
Also, why keep bringing up daddy issues? After the 4th time, it made me think he's the one missing his daddy lol
Alex Martini did a good job talking about them
I guess I grew up in a strange time. We always avoided the police when we were out running the streets in hot rods.
We all do, Casey is just an attention whore.
drive a loud or expensive car in southern california and you'll get pulled over for just cruising around, especially the LA area
@@TheReaLConstricts I prefer Florida.
VINWiki gave you what you have today when it comes to your social media, and you’re going to turn around a slap the creator of that channel in the face, saying that he has daddy issues.?

@@richeyrich2203 i guess all the karen's are there on the chat . why the f did you make this video. what this guy is doin is also wrong by mentioning other youtuber names to get attention to his channel . this guy does not know the history of car community .he just made my day worse
And if what others do causes changes in law that then affect us.
Nah sorry lunchboxdubs but you can't just sit back, or eventually you will lose all your liberties
Until someone speeding kills someones family member...
So no need for cops then? The fact that you don’t see the irony in your comment is hilarious
Lol what did Rob Pitts do to you ….
I think he did it to rob with back the nanny state BS.
"I can break the law because I'm superior, but you can't"
😂😂😂😂😂 damn now that’s some brutal jealousy!! Congrats DDE/savage y’all own some serious real estate in this dudes head!
They own 100% of this guys head
Casey has some incredible videos out there but there's a reason DDE has so many more subscribers. It's about shock value, it's about chaos. Let people in the community do what they wanna do. Someone's Lambo wreck has nothing to do with Casey, they got in his head baaad :'D
Nah but sounds like u think everyone dick rides DDE because you do 😂
Jealousy yet this guy has multiple super bikes and 2 Lamborghinis and even more? 😂
@mrdejavuking7395 Oh I am not doubting that he doesn't drive like a maniac, he said some bad things in this vid but some good things, there are genuinely people who do crazy shit online for fame and attention especially with police. Back in the day, RUclips used to be managed, safe illegal driving with a rare cop occurrence. Like all the @gtboard videos. Yet most of those were legal because it was on track or on the Autobahn.
I guess jealousy is hard pill to swallow.
He was definitely a hall monitor in grade school!
TBH street takeovers, Kia/Hyundai joy rides, "traffic swimming", Cars and Coffee exits into crowds, etc are all way more visible and problematic than a couple of rich guys driving their Ferrari cross-country appreciably above the speed limit. Street takeovers in particular are going to be the fastest way to kill enthusiast vehicles. Cannonball is pretty much dumb and pointless and I don't care about it whatsoever, but it's not the big fish to fry.
I think we can all agree the takeover crowd is the worst part of the car community.
DDE is very respectful to law enforcement.... if anything they try and make the cops out as the good guys... and they show the public proper way to do traffic stops... which can be strong but always polite
I’ve seen maybe 3 videos of Damon not attacking like a complete dick to cops.
For Every Savage Garage (Don't even to get in the mess that channel is now) There is a Stradman Hoovie and Cleetus . The last one bought a track so they could be nuts and still keep it relatively safe . The problem will really come into play as drag strips and other tracks gets forced to move as Urban Sprawl comes into play and the real Karens start screaming that the tracks they knew were there when they bought their house are TOO LOUD ... Car love is in trouble and there is nothing we can do about it
Look what has happened to the Reno air races
Also the only illegal thing he talked about was cannonball but he was way more worked up when talking about DDE. Kinda weird since they if the videos show and glorify illegal activity they would be sent to the police with arrests following.
I think Casey would do better if he studied channels like Drew Gooden and Cody Ko. If you critique something just being mad, the story is "This RUclipsr is mad." Instead, you need to show the offending clips from other videos and point out objective problems with individual clips. When you say that you've never seen someone's videos but they are always doing XYZ, you lose some credibility as it sounds like you are uninformed on the topic. Also, when you roast someone, it needs to be funny or specific to the person. Saying people you don't know have "daddy issues" is only funny if there's some truth or common generalization to it.
Don't get me wrong, someone needs to point out bad elements of car culture but the message shouldn't come across as "old man yells at cloud."
seems like IT S COOL have cops on videos! DDE has over 3 mil and these douche bag casey has less than 200 thousand 😅😅😅
Wrong. Sunlight is the next disinfectant. Expose the tyrants! Go DDE
Never thought someone in the car sphere other than me had heard of Cody Ko 😂😂 but you’re right.
Couldn’t have said it better.
The whole social media aspect has turned the car community into something I never dreamed of joining. I don't even go to meets much anymore cause its all just a flex of money and influence.
I hear ya man
There are still some small car meets that have humble respectful people. To me those are treasure.
It's largely a clout hustle now. It ain't about the love of the cars and the sports anymore.
Same here in south America
There's2 types of people, people who wants to look meaner/more gangster with their cars, people that just uses cars as status symbol
You rarely see people that actually likes cars
The way that these channels portray cars like that have ruined supercars for me for life. I can't but see them now as someones investment like a house or land more than as a car anymore. And a lot of people are in them that aren't car people at all, but a business friend has told that they make a good investment and hey - you can drive them and go to these posh rallies with them too
Some serious jealousy right there how about you worry about your life and not worry about others and what others do.
super weird jealous vibe the whole way through, using DDE for clout lmfao
GREAT JOB....mention DDE in your title and you've gotten more views off this one video than any video you put out this year. lets see how your next video does without mentioning any other you tubers
be thankfull to DDE
Dde owns this guys whole existence 🤣
We hear you Casey. This is why we need to push grassroots car racing on legal, closed, controlled courses. I do it in rally and mini bike races, you do it on paved road courses and go karts. It’s not hard to do and can cost a lot less than paying a lawyer and court fees after going to jail.
I can't agree with that more. But i would like to toss in that it would have to be set up in a way to allow anyone to go. Where it can be affordable to take your own car if someone wants to go that route.
Agreed, tracks are too few and far between with WAY too much cost.
@@SPIKE3725 I bought an $800 car that I take to local rallycross events on the weekends. It’s $30 to race each weekend. Racing cheaply can be done but a lot of people think you have to spend thousands. Buy a beater and enter it local races with no cage requirements.
@@DunnDifferent well the state that I'm from it's hard to come across that kind of stuff. 🤷🏻♂️ Unless I'm not looking hard enough in the state of CA!
sadly they are shutting down local race tracks all over the country because Karens buy a house next to a race track and cry about the noise. BUT we have TONS of empty parking lots where you could set up a street cross event and have actual timing and track officials.
I really appreciate you calling them out. They are seriously making us car people look horrible while endangering people.

"driving fast isn't cool, guys"
"Lol I've driven faster than any of you wannabes" 🤦♂️
You know who I like is Wistlin Diesel he always has positive interactions with the police till he doesn't ie his court case. But still he worked with them in his recent video and it was downright wholesome.
Thank you Casey. I'm with you 100%. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend many years ago. He'd gotten his first motorcycle. He talked about how he was 'racing' cars and blowing their doors off. But he wasn't racing anything, he was just passing unsuspecting motorists at high rates of speed. So I told him that they were just people going home, or to pick up their kids or to get groceries. That he was breaking the law and that this sort of behavior makes car drivers irritated--or worse. That it reflects on all motorcyclists, and I told him about how cars have purposely swerved into me or people have thrown garbage at me when I was riding at legal speed--and that the only reason people would do this was because someone else on a motorcycle made them angry at some point. I then told him that I cared about him and didn't want to see him hurt, arrested or imprisoned, and to take the racing class that I'd taken, or to sign up for track days where he could ride with people who had the same goal of riding quickly, and where you could truly test your skills in a controlled environment. He seemed to get it.
So many local race tracks have closed, or are on the brink of closing for myriad of reasons. More and more that is pushing people to the streets. My biggest fear is governments will use this as a justification to put kill switches, gps speed limiters, and/or issue speeding tickets based on GPS measurements in all new cars. This is already in motion in EU countries. Freedom of movement will be greatly restricted if/when this comes to pass. Old cars will be enthusiasts' only refuge. Until of course they require retrofits to add these systems to all cars in order to obtain a registration.
I think what is interesting too is how costly it is to go run on a track. Locally where I am there are no government inspections of road going vehicles. The up front costs of street racing are $0, and everyone ignores the risks. Where I am, tracks are a hour plus drive away, seasonal, have a fairly intensive tec inspection, high fees for usage and a steep learning curve (mandatory # of hours of track time with an instructor in the passenger seat that you are paying for). The car scene is definitely gate keeping younger people out of the sport and all other regular car related costs are constantly going up anyway.
what do you mean will? they have, the blackbox is now law in europe
theres plenty of shuttered big box stores and such all over the country so use those parking lots for a "street cross" type of event. And you could set it up in any configuration depending on size and maybe even an 1/8 mile drag strip. but i'm sure the Karens would kick and scream about that to.
It's called supply and demand buddy their numbers don't lie and neither do yours
Anyone else here because of rabbit?
I just know your the guy making a fuss at your local HOA meeting when someone paints their shutters a non approved color or doesnt have their trash can pulled from the curb fast enough for your liking. Worry about yourself. Grown adults are capable of making their own decisions.
I like watching the cop interactions because I like watching the things I cannot do and would not do. For me it is simply entertainment, good or bad. Its entertainment. DDE's videos are rarely bad with Cops. Most cops know who they are and respect them and they respect each other. With Savage garage, maybe you should stay quiet about targeting Randy's channel. Randy was a great guy! Attacking his channel after he passed is more disrespectful than anything these channels have done.
If I were you I wouldn't let it bother me, sounds like a bunch of unnecessary stress/anxiety which I did not hear one thing mentioned that affected you personally. Good luck with that hate
Excactly, thanks for being another sensible person in here, you got yourself a like
I mean true, but savage garage did quite a bit of reckless shit, the cop video even shows them evading the police and lying which wasn’t a good look.
I think Rob Pitts over at RUC said best.......Casey is in tears for attention!
Real car people don’t like illegal stuff…. What about the cannonball.. or every other rally event ??
Need for Speed, fast & furious, cannonball, getaway in stockholm… “real car people” lol No it’s not encouraged but don’t act like illegal street racing is not a part of car culture
@@burst7770 yeah working class ppl dont own their own race tracks deal with it
I completely agree that trying to rouse the coppers is dumb, but I no longer have respect for the police as an institution. The police arrested and shut down people's business and lives, they arrested people who went to church, and they will arrest one side and ignore the other. While an individual officer can earn my respect, it will have to be earned because I no longer give it out free. Unpopular opinion probably, but I have seen it too much myself and experienced it myself, the corruption of the system. But as I said, doing dumb things to get the cops to do something is childish and stupid.
Edit: also can we stop having attractive girls as click bait for RUclips car videos?
but thats not the topic thats being brought up
Ego maniac.
Uberego
I like your content. I have enjoyed your stories on VinWiki, which is where I first saw you as well. I am not sure what your motivation is here, but I don't agree with your commentary as it is a huge generalization. I can agree people should never race in the street or mess with cops or put the wrong light on folks who own exotics. I get that. I don't agree with the shade you are throwing at other RUclipsrs. There is a lot of hubris to associate all car guys as not liking something because you don't like it. That's just wrong. To be direct it's petty and makes you seem envious of their fame. If you watch DDE, they do have shenanigans, this is true. However, they don't promote a lot of what you suggest they do. They've been featured on audit channels for the proper way to communicate and deal with police who are clearly targeting exotics because it is easy.
You, like they, are going to have your set of antics to get attention to your channel. Sort of like this video. Which will get attention as it stirs controversy and is divisive.
I can understand where you are coming from, but I don't think your message is measured or honest. In some ways, you are even besmirching VinWiki, which helped you get your name into the minds of your audience.
Focus on your own channel and your own content and don't focus on what others are doing. You'll have your audience and they'll have there's and there will be crossover.
This feels really petty. But I appreciate what you're doing.
😂😂 he’s definitely a karen
I fully agree with this. I used to be a HUGE DDE fan quite a few years ago but I just stopped watching after awhile when most videos seemed to be only about police, supercar crashes and then buying a new car.
Yep they are craving for attention now. The cops are doing their jobs and they’re upset about it. Is it petty stuff some of it but when it’s about haters and cops all the time I don’t care
You know what's sad, is DDE thinks their "LA shenanigans" are their best work, their best work was during lockdown, when Damon was spending time with his family and friends, while doing car things. Spending time with his wife and daughters, both on the island and after the move and then with Ray, Mike, Matt, Ryan was more real than the LA stuff. As well as having people building their cars, like Aaron doing their own DDE shows in a build series was some of their best work.
@@ColinStevens they think that because their views and subscriber growth show that's what people want to see
@@ColinStevens If you want a lifestyle vlog than go watch a soap opera.
I'm not a fan of DDE and I've never watched Savage Garage, so we can agree on that. As for the Cannonball and Vinwiki, no innocent person has been killed in pursuit of a Cannonball. If that's what they want to do, it's their choice. I'm not going to judge them and I enjoy the stories. So thanks for the feedback.
When I saw the community post I at first thought to myself "well this is just petty/silly", but after rethinking it, I can see Casey's point and have to say, as cool as all that messing with the cops stuff used to be in my eyes, I came away from this agreeing with the overarching point. Thank you Casey for being willing to say the unpopular stuff, knowing the amount of butthurt it will cause. Don't have to agree on everything, but that's not an excuse for defending illegal/stupid behavior that can place others in danger. Hope you're keeping well. Big ups from South Africa.
Thank you kindly for having the mindset to consider different points of view.
@@CaseyPutsch been watching your content for some time and I've always enjoyed your ability to look at all the view points. As a younger guy whos made some really stupid mistakes and nearly went down a bad path, I can honestly say I've taken a lot of knowledge and wisdom from your content. Keep up the amazing work you do, looking forward to watching many more hours of your work.
I wouldn't even have known who you are if it wasn't for Vinwiki, bit sanctimonious of you to be honest
arent you just proving thats hes an actual person and you being ignorant of that is just proof of your own ignorance?
Clearly this is the example of “one bad apple spoils the rest”. Parents would refuse buying a kid a decently sporty car just because of this. Most innocent car guys are being clumped into the mess of these reckless people.
I had the same thought about that Vinwiki video. All that kid was doing was tempting fate. Yes, that's part of being a kid. But as kid, I learned a very valuable lesson about loosing things I loved because of other's lack of responsibility. I used to ride 3 wheelers, spent 10 years on Honda ATC's. Started on a 110, got a 200x and ended with a 350x. But I watched all sorts of people do all sorts of stupid things(I could only imagine what that could have been today). But people started complaining, blaming the machines for their own behavior. It only took a few years, in 1986 they were banned. Yes, I got a great deal on my 350x. But there was never going to be 400x or 650x etc. It was over, Honda and the other guys were legislated out of the game. When people say, but cars are different, no it isn't. There are those in this world who want to take as much away from us as possible. I can tell you when it comes to cars, that paperwork has been sitting in a drawer in Washington DC since at least the 70's. They are just biding their time, they will wait generations if necessary. They want all of us who are motorheads, gone. These guys who are fooling around for clicks, are bringing that day closer. One day they will wake up and...
I rode 3 wheelers ( Honda 90, 185S, 200X and 84 250R) as well back in the 80s. That 60 Minutes episode pretty much put a nail in the the coffin for them.
I also had 3 wheelers back in the day and I also started with an 85 KLT-110. The 200x and 350x were awesome and super reliable and You could ride almost all day on a tank of gas. The Honda 250R, Yamaha Tri-Z 250 and the Tecate from Kawasaki were beasts. I was Luckey enough to rip my buddies Tri-Z 250 as a teen and you had to have a healthy respect for those machines or things would go south real fast. There's a modern company that makes 3 wheeler chassis for the CR500 motor. I've also had my share of CR125R's and the 2 biggest ones I regret selling were the 89 Honda Pilot with the ATV racing CR500 kit and my 89 TRX250R.
Your 1000% right about bureaucrats and politicians chomping at the bit to take more of our rights away and it's sad how many people don't see it. They want us under as much control as possible and that's why I won't buy modern vehicles because of all the big brother crap in them. My cars/truck are from the 90's lol
@@lancairw867 I've seen that and it was 100% 1 sided and politically motivated. Like anything you gotta use caution, some common sense plus know your abilities and you'll be fine for the most part.
Casy, do you need a hug today? While I do agree, videos blatantly taunting the cops with your car are stupid, YOU to do the same thing on a smaller scale. I’m fairly confident you and your students drove the Omega car on the road by the shop over the posted speed of 50 mph. Let’s not forget your Viper in a small town videos…., speeding…., maybe a bit and going for views on VINWiki?? Pot calls the kettle black…. You do you, but please finish King Zero first.
Good job using big names to attract new viewers, it certainly worked on me.
27k views didnt do much
I'm glad you highlighted the original purpose of Brock Yates' Cannonball. I think the protest in defense of personal freedom aspect is forgotten today, and today it's purely about rich guys with expensive cars stroking their egos on the internet. It should also be noted that Yates himself scuttled the event in period because of safety concerns due to people showing up with faster and faster cars, having zero concern for the underlying issue itself and just wanting to gun for the record.
Without those channels half your subs wouldn’t know who you are.
Here is an idea! You do you dude!
Truly spoken like someone who lives in the country with very little strict enforcement and the means to go play on the racetrack whenever you want. If only we could all be so fortunate eh? I'd LOVE to go racing Rally/RallyX/Baja/Dakar/etc in cars, truck or motorcycles with a MANUAL clutch but racing is WAY too expensive!
I don’t exactly disagree agree with this man. But you leave vinwiki alone!
Karen the car guy ... who rattled your cage ?
About time someone said something about DDE. I am a true car enthusiast and I love the cars that DDE showcase but what they are doing is ridiculous. I caught on what they were all about after just a few videos, as a result I don't watch any of their videos.
While I don't always approve of how the other channels do things. Let's also be fair and at least talk about how Savage garage themselves said some of the antics were mistakes. And DDE has been pulled over and harassed and even had a car impounded over not having a California license. Which they aren't required to. Doesn't mean I agree with all of their actions. But it does make me wonder if you've seen any of those videos before coming here to preach. I've loved your channel. But lashing out this way isn't the best way to do it. You have some valid points and I'll admit to that. Though let's again be honest. Street take overs and such are doing far far far far more damage to the car community than any of these channels have ever done.
EXACTLY
Yeah, this is just a dig at more successful RUclipsrs. I unsubbed from Casey today and Ill remove all recommendations of his content. Lost absolutely all respect. You want to talk about the issues of "car community" bring up the idiots who do the takeovers and drift into people killing them. THAT is an issue, THAT is the group of people WE car enthusiasts raise nowadays, and that is not a youtube channels fault, its a lack of engagement from parents and community. This whole video is pathetic, with a tiny dash of fair points from an angry bright coloured painted supercar and superbike owner squeeling "youre ruining it for me"...seriously pathetic
No he didn’t look at all the videos!! he checked out a couple clickbait titles then read ONLY negative reviews on DDE videos then came here and claimed they’re just “brats with daddy issues”. Like how the hell is anyone taking this seriously😂 the community has issues but this isn’t the guy to address them.
This is just a pathetic attempt to get views.
He says that car RUclipsrs are bad for using click bait with cops in videos he just did the same thing by name dropping car RUclipsrs that are bigger then him.
Kinda hypocritical if you ask me, couldn’t even watch the whole video it was so cringe.
Bet he never watched a DDE video I have never seen them messing with the cops for views.
Last I checked it was nothing illegal with driving a exotic car in the us unless the Karen have changed the laws.
You are destroying the car community by hating on others.
Real car people know how to appreciate one another you should know that.
Big love to all the real car guys and hope the Karen’s of the car community can grow up and stop hating so much ❤
This video will change something.....I'll change the number of subs and not in a good way
Bro jealous bc his channel boring
I don't respect laws, I respect my common sense, as you said the autobahn has no speed limit but it's safer than any American highway, what's the difference? Discipline, getting a driver's license should be more difficult than getting a pilot's license.
Speed limits as a rule don't make sense, you can't apply a fixed condition to a changing situation, it's more dangerous to drive a Honda at 60mph than a Lamborghini at 100mph, an AWD car can drive faster in rain or snow than a 2WD, I even say that speed limits are dangerous, I've seen people roll over an SUV on a curve and not understanding why that happened since they were below the limit, speed limits are a suggestion, and that's how I understand them, treating it as a rule is a mistake, want to reduce the number of accidents, create drivers who know how to respect the limits of the car and know how to interpret road conditions.
exaclty. this is what people need to hear
I like Ed and VINWiki but I’m with ya. As a fellow car guy myself, I’ve looked at rubbish like cannonball runs and messing with cops with foolish behavior that ruins it for the rest of us, and potentially dangerous. The internet is poison.
Not very piratey of you Capn'
Man you nailed it. TY for covering this. I despise irresponsible street racers. Back woods abandoned roads with spotters are fine but not when you risk others lives. Oh and the crotch rocker queens. MAYBE 1 in 100 is a good rider. I get a sadistic joy in watching videos of them wiping out. 99% of the time it's their fault. People keep doing this crap and they WILL start doing crap like banning any vehicle that can go over like 100mph (remember, they did that before).
I agree with the crotch rocket Wipeout. Natural Selection doing what it does best!
Who are these "real" car people? you're hilarious DARREN
There’s actually a video still up on vinwiki rn where a guy admits to committing multiple crimes including fraud. -- using a fake ID to rent a car - The Turo video. I’m convinced Ed doesn’t care 😔
I think there's a difference between skirting and flouting the law. Skirting it sort of speaks to that American rebelliousness. Dressing up a car with a light bar for example. If you use it responsibly, it's not an issue. But if you take it too far then it becomes something else. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt to people, but I do think it's worth calling out people who are clearly in the wrong.
I'm with you on the being tired of flouting the law. Intentionally and flamboyantly antagonizing the cops hurts everyone. Let's keep moving car culture in positive directions. Things like autocross are super cool and relatively low risk.
I am sure people will give you crap for using negativity to "sell" this video or whatever, but I think your points are well made
Thank you kindly
While I usually don’t agree with or enjoy Casey’s content, this time he is spot on. Sadly these “content creators” arent real car humans, but people who need to have the clicks and views to survive. And the stuff they do for it makes real car humans look bad. And it promotes the bad behavior and that’s how we end up with things like the sideshow that killed people in wildwood last year. And why we can’t just hold random car meets with friends anymore.
Well, Casey, thanks a bunch! I was on the 405 trying to schedule an event with the Peterson Museum during a conference call with their representatives, Rusty Peters and Dusty McLaren, hoping for a call back from Ed Bolian. I had just unsubscribed from Rabbit's Used Cars, then just into the first minute of your video, enjoying a taco and Baja Blast while driving my Ferrari with my knee, which I have become quite proficient doing. I guess I didn't see his lights or hear the siren over Twisted Sister's Greatest Hits. The cop must have had a bad day because he split hairs to write me a speeding ticket for 127 in a 70 when all I was doing was keeping up with the traffic! I mean, I get what you're saying about messing with cops, but I pay their salary, aren't they mine to mess with? As long as I'm not endangering anyone's life, which I did not, because I'm a safe driver, that violates my First Amendment rights of expressing myself while driving. Next thing you know, Biden will make us all buy self driving Teslas and let the cops set all our speed!
LOL! This was great man.
@@CaseyPutsch Prepare, the end is coming soon. Surely you've seen the signs on the roads? Before long it's all-electric and the only place to get gas is at a Mexican restaurant.
@@mike30534 👏 👏 🫡
Gonna Defend Ed Bolian here because he was THE person who got me into the car community, and is THE reason I found out about Casey and Genius Garage. I think he's a great person, but definitely more and more people everyday glorify bad behavior, and Ed has not exactly done the best job downplaying it. I still love Ed, I don't think it's 100% his fault, it's hard when everyone in the car community nowadays wants to be an "Outlaw", but he's got the money and power, he could do a better job teaching good values. He used to when he first started his RUclips Channel, he can do it again.
The biggest problem with the car community, in all honesty, is the lack of policing towards people with money. I'm not saying shut it down, I grew up and love things like the Cannonball Run and the GumBall Run, but we respected a lot of those people, not because they had money, but because they were worth respecting. Nowadays, any idiot with a Lamborghini is like "Respect Me." Nah man, that's not given. Respect is not Bought, Respect is Earned.
I've always wanted to do the Cannonball Run, and probably will do it one day, but more and more everyday, the lack of interest in safety and respect for other people from the so called "Cannonballers" has somewhat deterred me. I never wanted to do it for fame, but now, how do I do something I want to do, without other people thinking I just want to be another "rich person with money who doesn't care about the rules?"
Casey, dude I love your content but you are being completely hypocritical. I commented on a video of you speeding around people on public roads in a Lamborghini and you proceeded to insult that I’m into air cooled Porsches and block me on Instagram. You have to understand that you are most definitely a proponent of showing a young audience that driving unsafe on public roads is cool and fun cause someone they look up to is doing it. I find the disconnect from your fervent argumentative nature when I said that might be a bad idea vs now with a 15 minute video about how doing exactly that which you have done is so bad… do better and don’t be so aggressive when your fans try to warn you that you are spreading bad ideas to a young audience.
I have a police vehicle replica. It rides the Grey area in legality. But I use the car to promote the work I do as an upfitter. I use it to help non profits in our area. I have driven this car for 2 years and because I don't drive like an idiot and respect our law enforcement folks, I have never been pulled over. Respects goes both ways for all
Thanks for the recommendations on all the new car channels. Im going to check them out
Better off unsubscribing from this one and following the others.
Hey Phil just checked out a video you posted. You know the one where you run a red light, then are surprised when you almost get t-boned. You definitely seem like those the type of person who would give clout to those channels Casey mentioned. I mean you went through that light like that shit wasn't even there lol that was super cool. You should drive like that more often so maybe one day your luck will run out and it will be one last dumb ass on the road.
#running red lights is cool and fun.
Just saw this video. 100% with you which is why I encourage everyone to take it to the track.
we don't agree on everything but we are on the same page here.
It's the same everywhere sadly, I simply won't attend most car shows in the UK now apart from big track events and classic car shows where owners are typically older and behave better! Everyone else these days is risking life and limb to try and get on RUclips, people have literally been killed, it's saddening
This change of direction has already ruined it for everybody and the genuine enthusiasts
I’m close with a young teen up-and-coming car guy in my family, we pretty much text daily and hang out a few times a year. The amount of times I’ve had to talk him off of how we should go to an illegal car meet or how he’s going to go around drifting when he can drive or various other crazy stuff is insane. Anyone who’s spent time with a young car guy will get it, there’s so little positive car influence fed to them on the internet. I do my best to rub off and point him right. I’ve already told him we will do a track day or something when he’s old enough, and I don’t even have that much experience with those. Just he’s a good kid and I want him to enjoy cars instead of spending time in jail.
This guy is mad because no one watches his channel. That's why he uses DDE in his title just to get views
Much respect Casey. Growing up I always loved the sensation of speed and after reading Alex Roy's autobiography romanticizing both the speed and freedom behind the cannonball run record attempts, I always thought the cannonball record was a cool achievement. Risky and illegal yes, but at least calculated. Now that I'm older the dream is to drive fast legally and safely on a public road like you mentioned. I have to say what really bothers is the whole mentality to the approach of illegal driving. It went from deliberately trying to avoid breaking the law in-front of people to endangering others for fun. The trend of "cutting up traffic" is becoming way too popular and its always people that have no regard for the safety of others. It's becoming internet trendy to use people as autocross cones on the highway, its absurd.
I wouldn’t say that DDE intentionally gets into confrontations with police. If you actually watch the content you can see that those were organic incidents
Casey, first off Canada is a great country. I’m a proud CANADIAN.
You are 100% correct in your statement that glorifying excessive speeding and giving law enforcement the finger only makes people emulate their internet heroes.
Street take overs, group speeding in traffic, and this whole rev/pop/flame culture is just going to lead to more regulations that harm the entire car community.
Time to take the power of internet fame and do something good with it.
I am not sure Vinwiki, overall, should be lump in with the other fast driving shows- way off the mark there
Cannonball run is now a social event no longer an outlaw run
Ironic how the only reason you have any semblance of an audience is a video titled "The Viper that got me kicked out of my small town" that outlines you driving illegally. This video made me lol and cringe at the same. Sucks to hear you try to clown on Ed who's given so many people like you a platform. He's the reason I was subbed to your channel.
I think what it boils down to is the fact that some folks have a hard time drawing the line between civil liberties and law. Some laws encroach on civil liberties and some civil liberties need to be regulated or else it'll be a jungle out there. I say let's make the Cannonball Run a legitimate and annual event where people from both sides work together to promote a healthy relationship of respect and understanding. Something like Le Mans where it's part track and part public roads. That's my 2 cents 😁 Another great vid, Casey. Keep up the good work.
So many people say “this is what happens when race tracks get closed” but in reality most of the people who do this stuff have little to no experience at a race track. I’m my experience in racing, the people you see at the track on a regular basis and the people you see at car shows tend to have very different interests when it comes to cars
I have 2 vehicles that are capable of 150mph... Neither have ever seen more than 120, and that was sort of by accident. It was however in a relatively safe environment. There's a time and place for everything and doing donuts in a busy intersection ain't it! Cutting up traffic on a busy highway at more than double the speed limit ain't it! I firmly agree Casey! Try to civilized people!
Someone needed to say this stuff, someone had to tell all the idiot know it alls on this stupid platform that what they were doing was bullcrap that would just hurt others. So thanks for sticking up.
Not a fan of the "real car people" retoric. I widely agree with your sentiment, but even your cars are often "illegal" in some way.
Respect you putting yourself out there and having a personal vision even when I don't agree.
Those that just bait cops are idiots, stay off the radar if you want to keep your ability to enjoy cars beyond the administrative pale. And consider those around you, the danger you put them in, and their annoyance level. But at the end of the day, lambos are the GSXR of the car world, they attract a certain type of owner.
All them folks livin in his head, rent free
You mentioned a “Karen” early in the video. You should watch the video you created and ask yourself, who is the real Karen?
Came here after watching Rob Pitts video, this reminds me why I un subbed
You’re the King of Less Views. Moralistic and spastic is not a good combination.
Casey, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one! as much as I love cars and especially supercars, I ONLY respect the owners of said cars that drive them responsibly and only drive them fast under certian and (legal) conditions!
We want car content back, no more mindless ranting for clicks! I came for the crazy builds, not this angsty teenager “mad at the world “ type stuff…
Noone watches the builds
@@CaseyPutsch Then you should look at why instead of doing shit like this. Understand the viewer mr "algorythm". Your showing viewers here all drama and stuff they dont want in an automotive channel. Sitting next to your lambo and Ducati dont make it a carvideo. Calling out larger youtube channels to get off on their clout also is pretty thin...if you cant focus on your own shit and entertain that way, then do something else than youtube? Youre successful at other things, focus on that, and dont loose sleep over shit you dont control, or better yet, is none of your god dang business
I've never seen a grown man complain more than this guy.
Trump definitely complains more
I'm glad you spoke up about this. |
One thing I would say, I have found Ed Bolian to be a pretty reasonable and level headed guy. Im impressed by his reply to youre text, he could have gone off about how youre opinion is unreasonable. But instead kept it short and sweet.
That being said, I totally agree. I am worried that everyone is a race to one up each other on YT, and I see no end in sight.
I was (shamelessly) watching a DDE video where Damon Fryer was pulled oveer by a cop. He obviously was being short and ignorant to try and get a rise out of the cop. In this particular video he was just so over the top obviously trying to bait the cop. And at that same time, the cop says " it really seemed like you were asking me to pull you over by pulling up beside me and revving your engine before you zoomed passed"
Thats when I realized these guys really are just running around trying to get more views, and realized the cop vs supercar videos get the clicks.
Im ashamed to say I am in canada too, and I am jealous of Ed, and Damon for being able to live their dreams making fake videos online that glamorize a lifestyle that's mostly made up. While I'm stuck here trying to make legit videos that just aren't getting the clicks.
Its too bad even this video of yours isnt getting pushed through the algorithm. You have 200k subs, and less than 20k views after 2 weeks.
Unfortunately Im not sure anything will change. But What I can say, is I am going to check out more of youre content. and have started making a more conscious decision to click away from videos that glamorize illegal activities. Or not click on them in the first place.
Another small RUclips er seeking attention for views . Shameless baiting cops lmao check audit to audit or any other cops channel Usa police sucks 😂 stop seeking attention or else u might no even get 1 view
