Nice Ride

Go to 3:40 So Sad...

Looks like fun to me


Of course I would not drive my S Class like that but I am also just a little older than the guys in the video.


These guys are in Michigan I believe. I grew up in the North Dakota/Minnesota are. There is nothing else to do in the snow belt part of the country except drift an S Class in the snow during the winter season

I did spin mine throw some gravel driveway once........it was awesome!


The kid in the video with the bug eyes is annoying to look at.

The first video is by Vehicle Virgins. The kid has decent reviews of cars, but later on his "youtube career" he became a little too self absorbed for my tastes. All about him - not about the cars. The bragging about buying a Lambo, till you find out his pops got it for him, etc.

Just not as fun to watch as when he did real reviews for real cars for a real audience. Now hes more like click-bait.

sean1.8t

100% agree with everything you said about him. He became a real douche.

But I'm pretty sure he bought it himself. Youtube pays very well at that level.

Chucky300

Forgot where I read it - but his father is a very wealthy businessman. Youtube pays enough to buy 2 Lambos and an S550? I'm in the wrong business then. haha

hyperion667

Chucky, you have a drifting machine

sean1.8t

So he gets 2 lamb's, an SLS, an S550 yet his sister gets to drive some crap eco box?

Have you seen some of these youtube guy's reported income? Youtube pays extremely well when you have 6/7 figure subscribers. Plus add in merchandise and branding sales...

Chucky300

Admittedly, I have not and don't know what their income is.

All power to him - in this free market economy.

Famous for being....famous. Like the Kardashians. It does indeed pay well.

As I said - I enjoyed his reviews when he began - but whatever fame he got - went direct to his head. You can see how he is now vs his old videos - night and day.

There's another car reviewer - also young - does very in depth reviews - and just bought himself a dodge Viper - and yet he has remained down to earth completely. Here's one vid - you can hear and see how he is just very cool and no big ego. Disclaimer: I don't know him - I never met him - I never spoke to him - and I am not promoting him. It's just a general feeling I get when comparing the two.

sean1.8t

I've seen a few of his video's. Very complete, informative, and BORING. I'm not saying how this kid is either way, but you don't see a douchey side that he might possibly have to him because he puts no personality in his video's. It's just all stats. The virgins do some videos like that but many of them are lifestyle and contain more substance. Sure, he has gotten cocky throughout his tenure, but what 22 year old making a six figure income producing online videos and driving lambo's wouldn't?

Douchey rich kids.

jealous poor dudes

Couldn't have typed it better myself.

Back on topic of Vehicle Virgins - I just happened to watch this.
I wanted your opinion everyone.

Mine:
1) Yes, smaller leg room - but it's a damn coupe. The Bentley GT also has a small back seat. All previous S Coupes had small back seats.
2) He's talking about it costing more than the S550 sedan. AGAIN - this is how it has always been. The coupe was ALWAYS more money since they started making S Coupes. (CL COUPES).
3) The leather is bulbous? The side air vents look like *****? Does he expect us to take him seriously when he literally hunts for nonsense to say?
4) Point about the 4matic - noted. I agree.
5) The steering wheel - he doesn't like the new Steering wheel. You can get whatever you want when ordering. One of our esteemed members of this forum got that exact steering wheel on his S Class sedan. Just a matter of ordering it special and custom.

Maybe I just don't like how cocky he has become - so I am nitpicking - but I think he's pretty full of **** here.

Chucky300

Heres a real winner...I think I suddenly like Vehicle Virgins much more now.

Wolfman

Agree with everything you said.

The only thing I don't care about the new steering wheel (same as on our SL) is that the wood only covers the outside top and inside bottom.
I prefer if the wood on top goes all the way around.
Plus I like the button layout of the S-Class sedan (or the upcoming one with the pads).
Nitpicking of course; it looks much better than the sedan steering.

sean1.8t

Yeah, I don't really get bagging on the backseat leg/head room and amenities. It's a coupe for gods sake, not a Maybach 65. The car can only accommodate based on it's logistical size.

The way I look at it is the only people that are going to be in the back seat of my $100k+ coupe is small children that can't drive themselves and that is pretty much it. If there was a reason to take more than 1 person anywhere, I'd choose one of my other cars that are more purpose built for hauling a group or people around.

Seems like they're just trying to make up stuff to create content. No video = no money. Phoned in video with 100k+ views = lots of money.

"Some people dont need AWD it makes the car heavy and gets bad fueld economy"

Right because the S Coupe buyers give a damn about 1 or 2 more or less MPG. This video is a joke. Why he keeps comparing a coupe to a sedan is beyond me. Stupid kid.

C280 Sport

Oh God it gets better. Complaining how the S is his daily driver and the MPG is bad and averages 14mpg. Well clearly you cannot offord this car. Buy a Honda

The V8 you cannot hear. Not loud enough. Its a luxury car... Buy the S65 if you want a loud exhaust.

sean1.8t

His channel is pulling in $25-30k a month. I'm pretty sure he can afford his S class and his Huracan just fine

Haters gonna hate.

C280 Sport

Looks like he has more then enough to spend on the gas then. Hater? Not a hater at all. Just do not understand who buys a 6 figure car and crys about MPG. Like I said maybe a Honda fits him better.

Chucky300

How do you know his income from the channel? Just curious how all that works? $25k to $30k because 100,000 people see his videos? What about let's say a video that has gone viral - say I meet a famous celebrity who did something silly on camera and it was viewed 100 million times or whatever. If I created that video - Youtube sends me a check for many millions of dollars reflecting the number of views?

I am not a hater. I find him to be a phony. Big difference. If he makes money off being ridiculous - all the more power to him.
