Scotty knows his shit but he's a bit annoying. He's got the problem all engineering guys have. They've got 10% dead on information that is practical, interesting and factual. 90% you want them to either get to the point or shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I guess that describes everybody whose identity revolves around a single subject. He seems the guy who talks about nothing but cars IRL.

Figured this thread would be about Scotty before I even opened it. His information is great but the click-bait gets annoying. I've used Youtube to do some repairs on my vehicles but a lot of the time when something is wrong there's no other choice but to go to an actual mechanic. Half the battle with car repair is having the tools/equipment needed to do the repair.

South Main Auto isn't bad, been watching him for a few years. I started also watching Rainman Ray's Repairs earlier this year, but the click-bait and his mannerisms are becoming annoying. The Car Wizard is OK in small doses but he's kinda full of himself. I could never stand Scotty. I tried watching one of his videos recently talking about the new Ford Maverick, but I don't even think it was him narrating and it was clearly an ad for Toyota trucks. Customer States What is another who's kind of entertaining.

I watched a lot of these videos during the shutdown. Interesting to watch the everyday routine of used car dealer but the guy got annoying after a while.




I really like “The Handyman” too.



Only problem with this guy is if you’re watching his videos thinking you can buy a shitty truck and some tools and be him. He’s been a contractor for twenty years and is a licensed electrician and plumber.

Yeah, but there are a lot of useless people out there. A truck a ladder and a cheap home depot ryobi kit and it's not hard to pick up a few easy dollars from rubes that don't know how to change the battery in a smoke detector.

it can't be beat for showing you how to fix very specific problems, however I still miss forum culture for certain things. If you have an older car(s)/trucks and you search for how to fix something you'll see the old phpbb type forums like this with tons of knowledgeable guys giving you nearly every shortcut and diagnosis simply due to that being the main method of interaction back before the 2010s. Youtube is definitely better in that they used to show you digital images on old school forums, but I'm not sure it's a full replacement or even better in the long run because it doesn't allow that communal aspect. The same is true with reddit where you can't bump subjects, they have to be dooted, and reddit eating into bulletin board forum type websites has unquestionably seriously hurt the value of the collective of human interaction online

Most of these faggots extend their videos artificially to 15-60 minutes just to sell more jewish google advertisements. Their videos could literally take 1-2 minutes tops. But then they would not sell as many advertisements.

lmao I never thought of it this way. I just hate the faggots who love having an audience and being able to be a "presenter" and spend 15+ minutes on a < 5 minute worth of explanation

Old school forums used to be great if you found a good one. You might find a good YT video but they rarely tell you enough to really know what an issue might be. I see a lot of channels showing how to repaint car panels and they always say "Wow! It looks amazing! I can't tell the difference!" and you know it's bullshit.

While we're on the topic, I can't fucking stand the waving hand around in front of the camera while talking bullshit some people do.

Working on fucking Fords it helps, the build them where you need special tools from factory to work on them, your standard craftsman or whatever brand won't fit, there is always somebody figuring out how to nigger rig tools so they do. this just one of Fords engineering stupid ideas, Rick has this 5.4/ 4.6 engine in his rustang, dealerships charge 800-1k for getting out each broken sparkplug its a huge problem with these engines
