IMHO its not that working on the G is hard, its just compared to working on a 4 banger toyota or honda its a PTA especially the AWD G cause of a lack of access and the amount of stuff stuffed into it the engine bay

funny. exactly this. he seems to be a competent mechanic wit ha lot of experience, but when it comes to giving advice hes really only speaking to an audience of people who are just using their cars as appliances for getting around and absolutly prioritize the lowest possible maintence cost over everything else but he never qualifies that in spewing out his opinions

After I see these annoying personalities being so successful, maybe I should start my own vehicle review channel on YouTube. I'm the most annoying person ever. lol

There's many on youtube. I actually find redline reviews to be quite detailed and informative. He covers many little things that other reviewers tend to leave out.

Savage Geese has grown on me and is now my favorite. The pace in which they speak is off-putting but he goes over everything from driving dynamics to chassis set-up. Alex on Autos is another great channel for reviews. TheTopher is also a cool channel. It's mainly just the Tuber ripping the cars in first person POV but he is very knowledgeable about each car he drives.
