Mmmm he wasn’t without his issues though… a big pet peeve of mine is when people refer to turbo threshold as “turbo lag”.

Watch his video on the Mitsubishi Evo, comparing it to a small diesel in high gear… all sorts of cringe as he says the car has too much turbo lag.

So whoever came up with this made it funny. “Smash the subscribe button” “destroy that like button”.

I’m sure it was funny in that context when it was said the first time. Everybody else is just annoying.

Great catches!!!

Funny and entertaining for certain.
I’ve always viewed Top Gear and The Grand Tour as entertainment shows, not much car reviews…

I have the same pet peeve! Don't label the video as "loud exhaust" "amazing exhaust sound" or "savage acceleration" and then have some trash ass mushmouth trap music and ZERO engine or exhaust noise! Like WTF!?

Also hate to see vids of dudes braggin about their car and what not but spouting incorrect information or just silly shit that makes no sense. For example, I saw one where two morons in a convertible G37 coupe got a 335i coupe to race them. All things considered, if it was coupe to coupe it might be an alright race...but the vert is heavy AF. So the whole time the passenger is yelling "G37, got them big brakes man!" Ok...so what? Big brakes ain't gonna make your car faster you moron. AND THEN you had the nerve to take the heaviest G37 they make, in automatic, to race a lighter boosted 335! Just makes no sense to me

The bottom line is the YT car reviewers use the same language to review every car. It's so lame and childish.

The only one I watch is EddieX

There's just a ton of reviewers/channels now who actually aren't car enthusiasts, they just jumped on the Youtube influencer bandwagon. You can tell in their driving analysis that they don't know what they're talking about. Then you have the EV/tech reviewers...blah.

But there is a lot more choice now than there used to be. 7-10 years ago we were limited to just Top Gear, MotorTrend, and Doug. Agreed with others here about Top Gear. That show was simply epic and always a pleasure to watch. None of today's Youtube content comes close to it.

Totally forgot about Eddie. I used to watch Vehicle virgins and met both of the guys at a car show in metro Detroit before they split. Seemed like nice dudes.
