Must be my late middle age, but I have never heard of the guy. Well to be truthful, unless it is a video about F1/vintage/ GT4 racing or engine/race car building, I probably won't be watching it. However, I did click on this as I was curious (clickbait?) but he sat their for God knows how long and didn't say one word so I shut it off. He did look Iike he was crying but that wasn't enough to keep me hooked I guess, must be my ADD. :D

Sorry the guy wrecked his car as that is can be detrimental to your demeanor for sure. The video looked to be almost 30min; did he actually talk about an accident for 30min and people sit there and watch it? I guess I find it more implausible people can sit and watch a guy not say anything for 30min.

Must be the same people who watch the unboxing videos of HD Tvs? hahahaha!
Pretty standard Youtube channel stuff. To keep subscriptions and views there is a big push to keep the content coming or people get bored. Most Youtube channels tend to draw stuff out to fill time. Some of the better channels actually fill that time with useful stuff, like on a lot of car channels they will just keep the camera running for the entire time they are doing a job, from loosening every bolt right back to torquing each one back down. The great thing about Youtube is you can skip to pretty much whatever part of the video you want, or skip away as soon as it gets boring.

I must say I am not much of a fan of the camera mounted in the car pointed at the driver while he just drives around and talks. That's why I don't watch those channels.

I can sit there on my phone in bed and watch hours of donut and burnout fail videos. We like what we like.

Hopefully Zander doesn’t visit this nasty site which is what I wish I followed after buying my Mustang - I really fucked up.

You are a happy Mustang owner when you have never visited this site.

From point "A" to point "B"
From what I understand in his early youtube vids he comes out and say's he's a military veteran, served a couple tours, but is on disability due to trama... Not sure what kind of trama, I'm assuming mental, as he looks physically capable to do tasks, but creating content, and working on his car, and cars in general are is his "coping mechanism".

In this situation there was a way he could get content out, and bring in some revenue. At least this is better than the kids (kids to me is high school or lower) having a million subscribers with daily vlogs that just go add content like.. oh I have a camera set up to act like I just woke up.. I just took a nice shit.. I'm going with my mom in her Range Rover I bought her to the grocery store..

I've never met a contractor or consultant that isn't always on the phone. If your driving 3+hrs in a black hole from both your team and clients your missing out on what could be valuable info that could mean your job or at least your client.

If you can't talk to a speaker while driving, you shouldn't be driving. You also shouldn't be using the radio or drive with a passenger. Or do you insist your passenger sits next to you silent at all times?
Just love the driver doing 54 in a 70 in the left lane while yapping handsfree.
Funny you should mention contractors....I know a few. Do business with many.
Most real commercial contractors have termination language for phone use while driving.
Phone records are very often subpoenaed in accidents.
Drive as you wish....be on the road long enough you'll see.
I've literally logged millions in my stay and have personally seen some horrific stuff...Wrong place wrong time has taken the lives and business of people I personally know.
Not all can be avoided but advocating adds gasoline to the fire.

What makes you think they wouldn't do that anyway? I see a lot of people on the road and NOT on a phone that still can't drive.
Doesn't mean it's used, also I'd say being a contractor for one of the big 3 finance firms is a "real" contractor.
20+years so far.

Exactly. I won't ride with one family member because his speed sometimes drops to as low as 30 MPH on a 65 freeway when talking to a passenger. Not so much with heavy traffic to act as a visual stimulus but when off busy times its no fun to have someone fly by on both sides sometimes at close to triple his speed. Which is why I won't argue with someone who wants to ban hands-free phone use if they also want to make talking to a passenger illegal.

That Youtuber made a video about him ceramic coating his car, but didn't upload the paint correction process or application of the coating -- he just showed us the results after the car was done. What a waste of a video. Zander13 SCREAMS clickbait.

Unlike some YTers, this is his only car. A downed car means no content. That means lost subscribers, lost views, lost income. And this is not the first time it's been down due to an accident (actually, it's been through a lot). I can understand his frustration and the feeling that he may be cursed. But, that's what comes with driving the car across the country so much in the hunt for fresh content.

The YT game is quite demanding on man and machine. The bigger YTers have multiple cars. More cars means more content, variety, and security.

Having said that, Zander has pretty decent content. But he and Stangmode are still getting hammered by the hotness that is Woman.Driven. Want a lot of subscribers very quickly? Perform the same boring installs while wearing daisy dukes!
