Rev up your engines! How many of you guys watch his videos? What a character! He seems to know what he's talking about.
I do learn things, but the entertainment value is priceless.

He knows his stuff. I like how he ripssss Chris Fix and his videos but never actually mentions his name LOL. Scotty still probably would rip me a new one for buying a new lexus IS instead of a used one haha.

Depends on where you are and what you are looking for, in Canada I don't even bother with used IS because the resell prices are so high for 2-3yr old IS.

He does have some provocative titles for his videos. Other than that, he's hilarious, and full of fine information.

He constantly rips the 3IS exterior look but he still defends it as an excellent Lexus product haha. He also sorta throws shade at the 200t/300 RWD since it’s turbocharged lol. He definitely knows what he’s talking about though I watch all his videos mostly for entertainment. Basically if it’s not a Toyota or Honda it’s an endless money pit hahaha.

I think he sleeps in his 94 Celica!
I love the photos that appear in the corner, especially when he laughs. He'd be fun to hang out with.

Watched him since the beginning pretty much, but only for entertainment and to kill time. He says some oddball stuff and I corrected him one time in the comments on one of his videos and he got mad and blocked me, then he unblocked me. lol so he has thin skin. he also didn't like when people made parodies of him... then slowly he started to accept it and even profit off the notoriety. so now he's more of a influencer where he sells weird stuff. he's definitely more profit motivated than before which is fine.

My favorite is south main auto channel. guy actually knows his stuff.
