Says a guy with almost 7000 messages on this forum alone.

A lot of the youtubers are still around, but in a way I wish they were gone. I (my opinion) feel they are ruining the car scene. They post their content, especially leaving meets and shows, which usually have some spirited take offs and such. Well, along with viewers watching them, guess who else watches them, the Law. A lot of places have increased LE now and I am sure word gets out old school, but all these youtuber videos promoting it doesn't help.

100% agree. There’s a few I used to watch that showed good C&C stuff in various parts of the country, but then the takeover stuff and street racing in traffic stuff started getting filmed. They would say “I don’t condone this” but proceed to make numerous videos of it . So people keep doing it and then tag themselves in the videos. Shows how smart they are.

I only watch 2. Misha and Cleetus.
Cleetus more for his RC planes and MD500. Love me a MD500.

Tom's Refurb is easily one of the best new ones.

Young guy, just hot rodding his cars at home. Funny. Great content with lots of different cars.

The OP's list of annoying YT's is because they mostly focused on giveaways and didn't wrench on anything.

StreetSpeed717 is strictly giveaway content like the Goonzquad kids. It's just them begging for you to buy their crap so they can buy a super car or land.

I don't mind giveaway if there is wrenching, racing, track stuff but to buy a car with giveaway money to do more giveaway's is the reason they've become unwatchable.

Chris Sullivan, Tom's Refurb, The Old Man's Garage (because I'm old), Legit Street Cars, Stanceworks, 1320Video (for racing coverage, Sick Week, the TK's), ScrapLife Garage, Cleetus (for comedy and drag racing) are still the ones I prefer.

StreetSpeed is totally unwatchable at this point and was barely watchable a few years ago. He’s made a good amount of money so good for him, I just don’t know why people keep buying all that garbage merchandise

I can't stand most of these guys. Stangmode being part of the S650 official reveal was so ridiculous. Although it was a harbinger for how much of a cluster the car has been. I begrudgingly respect Speed Phenom because at least he drives his cars on track, and he does stuff like the Willow Springs raceway event for all skill levels.

Marginally relevant to limited offerings in USA market but Autogefühl is somewhat interesting especially when his hot girl shows up in the vids occasionally.

Theres a hot petite German blonde that has great drive vids of the most exotic mass market exotics....can't find her channel.

Another decent looking PL woman pretending to be swiss doing tests in the mountains she did a good on on mustang vert a few years ago.

Besides Sarah-n-tuned great outfits and longgggg legs her technical depth exceeds all the dudes and test drives real world with vehicles I'd all look at buying. I find myself skipping all the tech talk since every thing seems to be the same now.

I miss great articles written by knowledgeable people... Anyone with an opinion and a camera.... most of it is clickbait.

You know that's a dude, right?

ChrisFix is one of the better ones. The guy is super knowledgeable and humble and doesn't act like he wants to fight people for no reason like that yolo guy.
