California banned Cruise for safety violations, not the media. And with that feel free to move on to your California is a communist republic rant /s

GM killed cruise. Not the workers. Cruise also killed cruise when they ran over various numbers of pedestrians across California

In the last few years Doug has started making videos on the car market in general. Those are gold and he gets it right in a way I don’t see anyone else even attempting. Videos like what is the collector car market cap. Any of the videos discussing Ford’s decision to drop cars. There’s a playlist on the channel called garage talk. That’s where the talent is.

The talent is not in his reviews. They’ve always been bad, shallow, inconsistent and worst of all he doesn’t know how to drive. I think he’s gotten big because children are YouTube’s largest audience and they love his channel. Luckily he’s continued to grow and capitalize on this success

The uaw strike has caused the American manufacturers to pull out of all auto shows this year. The Phoenix auto show was cancelled entirely as a result of the strikes.

I was a kid in a candy store at the 2007 Chicago Auto show. Every manufacturer had a concept car there. Players from the Bears were having meet and greets. Others were spotted getting the first look at unreleased or high end cars. It was awesome.

By the time I’d left Chicago in 2017 it was smaller. We live in a largely digital world now. Unveiling a car at an auto show reaches far fewer people than releasing a car in some remote, luxurious or challenging location that shows off the cars intentions and capabilities.
