I don't judge by looking at people but watching their content. If appearance alone was a qualifier then Jason Fenske from EE could be deemed similar to the VV guy (Parker). But watching 3-4 of the EE episodes will show a great wealth of information that is helpful for understanding Auto Technology/physics. Parker is just a vlog of whatever he's doing that day with his expensive cars. The guy is literally buying a new car every 90 days putting an exhaust/rims/tune/wrap then repeat & recycle to generate views. Stradman and his flexin culture get old really quickly.

Huge shout out for SavageGeese. I only discovered him a month ago. I'm not even car crazy, but his channel is excellent, informative, entertaining and often funny. I've seen many of the others listed too. EverydayDriver isn't bad either.
but SavageGeese for the no BS reviews.

Fenske is nothing like Nirenstein. He is factual, unpretentious and somewhat dorky. Parker’s IG profile is just like his YT channel: loud and obnoxious.

Some of those I used to buy often. I stopped buying the mags years ago, as it ended up being clutter. I still probably have about sixty or so around here after getting rid of the ones I don't like and issues I didn't need, Like every single C&D since middle school. Now that I think about it, with bow the car scene is, they might as well be historical archives. I mean.... I don't know how many of these mags I have with the Crusher Camaro in it over the past near thirty years. I always wanted to have a car worthy of being in some of these magizines.

Years ago, I subscribed to a magazine that covered the commercial aviation industry. The publisher decided to discontinue the publication, and they replaced the remainder of my subscription with a magazine that was only peripherally related to the subject of the original magazine. I canceled the remaining subscription and got a refund from the company.

Yet he has been super successful with lots of imitators.
Sad that those mags will be discontinued, they have been around a long time.

SavageGeese hates modern cars so he can't write for any publications that has to review advertiser's products.

The article said that
Quote:
“While TEN Publishing will no longer print the following magazines, [MotorTrend Group] will continue to offer our audiences and advertisers digital coverage for these discontinued print titles online," Wellen wrote.
One would wonder if those that are about to lose their jobs from the printed versions could find the same type of work with the digital versions of these mags.

They will probably give you a comparable content magazine they are still publishing.
