But Shmee actually knows what he's talking about and has some serious car knowledge. I can't stand VV because he's just a YouTube kid. He likes cool cars because he likes being seen in cool cars and telling people he has cool cars. It burns a hole in the souls of real enthusiasts.

Vehicle Virgins is a complete idiot - his content is rubbish, his voice is super annoying, and most of his headlines are click-bait.

I grew up working at McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendys, Carl's Jr and a few other fast food joints. Money was not around for me and I needed to eat so I used the benefit of an employee meal for 50% before shift and a free one after. Life has been good but it was not always easy.

Worked the standard kind of Jr High and High School jobs back when. Worked at the original Godfathers Pizza when I was 15 before they franchised, as a janitor, truck stop island boy, and briefly KFC.
Not universally true, but over the years while coming up, it seems that the guys who had to work those kind of jobs as kids continue to have a good work ethic and drive. On the flip side, have seen plenty of kids come in with their new minted degree and think they can now sit back and have the world handed to them on a platter.

It goes back to the that age old phrase "Learn the value of a dollar"

As a self made man myself I really appreciate the hustle of people who started hungry.
When I was a school boy I made money selling computers with a small ad in the local paper in my small town. I called up a manufacturer and got a VAR arrangement. It helped pay for my books and got me into Oxford.
I should probably have stuck with that instead of going into Management Consulting.

Not sure why there is so much hate for VV and Shmee, etc.
Youtube is like free food. Don’t like it, don’t eat it. This stuff is entertainment and those guys cater to their crowds. If they can make a living with it, more power to them. For serious reviews and tests, there are other publications.

The only part of Shmee's videos I don't like is the beginning when he says "Hello I'm Shmee" very loudly. The rest is very good journalism.
Vehicle Virgins is a complete idiot - his content is rubbish, his voice is super annoying, and most of his headlines are click-bait.

check out the straight pipes for some more enjoyable content.
i think you'll appreciate their Wagon commentary.
Best part is @15:20, awesome.

Many reviews have mentioned the body style and cabin of the Wagon resulting in realizing / hearing more of that glorious exhaust note from the interior.
Can anyone attest to this, who has sampled both the sedan and wagon first hand?

You can drop both your rear seats and enjoy the same experience, which changes a lot by the way. I started loving my car way more since I dropped the rear seats. Time to time I think throwing them away altogether.
