I think his Q&A videos are entertaining and sometimes informative. Good to have on when I’m getting ready in the morning. Sometimes he veers outside his lane and will give his opinion on things that he isn’t an expert on (investing for example).

 

scotty is stuck in his past. There has not been any new insights in his videos for the last 5 years.

 

He's full of himself and regularly contradicts his own advice for clicks. He's the epitomy of the boomer that stopped learning in 1976 and still thinks he knows everything about anything. His advice can be quite dangerous as well(he recommended against using jackstands).

Just because somebody sounds confident about what they're saying doesn't mean you should believe they know that they're talking about.

I have been watching his videos for years and have never heard him tell people not to use Jack stands. Quite the opposite actually. He even uses them in some of his videos. I vaguely remember him telling people not to use a certain brand of Jack stand once, because the welds were bad or something like that.

 

I was wrong... it's Scotty who said to avoid a used LS430.

That's like someone telling people an SLR McLaren Mercedes is the most reliable used car you can buy.

 

Then he said to buy a used LS400.

He is just totally full of crap

 

that's why he has a big following.

er, yup.

Yep, LOTS of people stuck in the past out there!

 

Agreed. As an auto reviewer myself, I stopped trying to make any sense of his recommendations long ago. He tells people one thing one day, and a few months later will have a video completely contradicting that. And he has done that with virtually every brand of vehicle I can think of.

 

I think people just loves his signature hand wailing and spray shouting 😀

 

I also love pictures of laughing horses

 

Don't tell me I didn't hear what I heard. The man is a hack.

 

I'm perfectly able to form my own opinions regarding the LC500, and, I share much of the knowledge Scotty and the Car Care Nut have. While I don't agree with everything they say and don't particularly care for either of their deliveries, I enjoy their shows for the entertainment value.

I just don't understand where all the CL vitriol is coming from for a couple of fellow car enthusiasts. I suspect some of it is coming from those who feel the need to tear others down in order to build themselves up. Others might just simply be jealous of their success. If one merely has an aversion to "click bait" and "controversial opinions," one shouldn't be on YT in the first place.

 

Here here, I agree 110%.

 

Yes, I'm so jealous of them and their success the same way I'm jealous of Michael Bay's crappy movies lol.

People here are merely expressing their opinions on a handful of well-known content creators because that's part of the topic. People are allowed to have negative opinions on popular things - see all those who have slagged Doug Demuro especially when he gives negative reviews of Toyota products. As for me, there are other far better content creators out there even among Toyota-focused channels (i.e. Automotive Press as I already mentioned). In fact my main gripe with Car Care Nut is when he talks about things unrelated to Toyota that he has no knowledge of (especially his EV rants lol)
