THIS… is my most anticipated Colin and Samir interview of all time. First, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy this interview in its entirety, and then I’m going to give it a Doug score.

So glad you guys brought Doug on! I think he’s often overlooked since he doesn’t fit the “YouTuber archetype” but one of the smartest minds in the space.

Let’s appreciate the fact that this is the only YouTube channel that does podcasts intros correctly! Never seen any other channel truly capture what the episode is going to be about like Colin and Samir do!

Great interview! Really resonated with doing youtube ... "you need to have a long period of time with nothing to lose, and nothing to gain." It's a very unique circumstance that's not very realistic for most, but almost a requirement doing something for years without monetary gain

I’m totally one of those early readers who just followed him to YouTube. There was such a sense of genuine happiness I felt when he bought his Carrera GT. This was an interesting interview to see his insight into how things got started and where he thinks things are going.

Doug getting into a 2million dollar car with shorts and a t-shirt on keeps it real. Doug deserves all the fame and fortune he's got. Straight up guy who I enjoy watching. Loved the shout out to Chris Harris. Congrats on the success. I'll watch your car reviews as long as you keep making them.

I met Doug in person at Cars n Coffee in Rancho Sante Fe, he was just hanging out by himself photographing some esoteric old British car. He was super nice, spoke with me for about 30 min. He's the real deal, an absolute car enthusiast and genuine dude!
