Doug can't actually drive, though - not that I can either but I'd like someone competent on a race track to test race cars - and also, I'm not sure how a person could find any youtuber annoying but not be annoyed by DeMuro. I'm fine with him, but he's objectively annoying.
The thing I don't like about his car reviews is that he deliberately scripts them to take as long as possible to say anything to try to get people to watch a 20 minute video that should take 12 minutes. "Next up we look at another curious feature in the interior, not something you see every day, and that would be... the window wiper switch. Yes, this car has a switch for the window wipers, and you can see it's located over here, next to the hazard lights, where you wouldn't expect to find a window wiper switch. You flip it up for on and down for off. Very unusual decision, but that's what they decided to do here." Over and over and over.
