Four years ago after watching one of your videos, I accepted your advise and and purchased a new Hyundai Sonata with a no interest loan. One of the things I've enjoyed is watching Doug mature from an industries kid into a grown Man! Watching Dougs life and how it has grown, has been quite enjoyable. This next phase of Dougs life will be very enjoyable. Hopefully he will continue to upgrade us on his life story.

Doug is the type of dude to buy an underground bunker just so that it echos when he says "THIS"

I have followed Doug for almost 10 years, Doug bought and sold his cars. I understand why people get "bothered" but he has always been a fan of selling and buying cars.

I’m up to 11 cars. Doug actually did a video of one of them. Congrats on all the amazing success. I sold off a few fun cars when my kids were young so that I could get a nice, safe, family SUV. Slowly but surely I acquired additional cars that are collectible and not depreciating assets. But on a beautiful day, it’s hard to drive more than one. I will likely follow your lead and get down to 5 or 6. Maybe I can upgrade the quality if I downgrade the quantity.

Its amazing how age shapes one's desires. There's no way I'd be happy today with my "money-no-object dream garage" from when I was 22.5 (now that I'm 55). And if 22 year old me were to see my current "money-no-object dream garage" they would be completely confused.

I met Doug, *cough*, i fan girl super excitedly saw him and him in his ford gt and pulled over, yelled "Doug!" as if I knew him, and was super excited to see him, bc ive been watching since the early 2013/14 years. Doug was super nice, exactly how he is on KZread, bot sure if I was expecting any different, but for a happenstance impromptu encounter, a super nice guy! He asked me about my random FJ i was in, and just over all we had a short but nice conversation. Doug, thanks for being so cool and continuing to be passionate about your work! Cheers SD neighbor!

I too have a fleet of 6 cars, a motorhome, two tractors, two dirt bikes and something always needs maintenance or repairs. I get that it can be too much to look after any more than that. People with 10+ cars, you just know the cars are slowly rotting from lack of use or attention.

4:15 min - Doug, hearing you are a business owner with 40 employees, I'm impressed that you're still upbeat. Keep being you Doug. ✊🏾

you have changed a lot since i first started watching, used to be one of my favorite to now when i dont enjoy watching your videos but not because of what cars your own or sell

The only grounds one can raise reasonably is the amount of gas used. Ex: our two cars are a '21 RAV 4 XSE Hybrid (we have had one hybrid in the garage since 2006) and my '14 Manual Corvette. I can rationalize a sense of environmental "balance" (not saying I'm right but it gets me through the day) and a reasonably low amount of gas used (retired teacher). Even the C7 gets close to 30 on a highway cruise).

The amount of things you can do with the money spent on the Carrera GT is definitely a tempting sell that i understand. Trips, family stuff, investment, other hobbies. Plus you can buy another VERY good car and still have money left over. That's a tought one for sure.

As long as it keeps appreciating it is an investment. By the sound of it I doubt if Doug's GT40 has cost him a cent.

Doug, I’m more interested in seeing your journey through owning many different cars than having you forever be “the Land Rover Defender guy”. Love the channel.

You're pretty much the only automotive channel I watch anymore, mostly because you're very in-tune. I hope these comments don't start to get into your head and cause you to question things about yourself because people that are actually paying attention will see that you're not only in tune with these privileges you have, but you're also very self aware. The automotive side of KZread has become quite toxic over the past couple years, with viewers encouraging people to maximize and live a life of excess. The viewers also have an expectation that the content creator share the exact same views as them along with a myriad of other unhealthy expectations. Throughout all of this, I feel your channel as been one of few to maintain its purity. You're right to be frustrated when your detractors are living in fiction land. The best is yet to come

Doug has always been upfront about how he doesn't like to hold on to cars for too long, and provided very good reasons as to why. How could anyone be mad at him for that?

Next to go is the MB G-Wagon, the 4Runner covers that part Then, the Porsche, he is clearly enjoying his last days with it, but the Countach is also a Sports car as well as the GT

As a teenager I always wanted a Prerunner. I got a built one at 23 and finally sold it at 30. The upkeep of a long travel truck where nothing is stock and you cant really drive every day was a ton. I enjoy my stock trucks and my C7. Teenager me would’ve never understood

I enjoy hearing your reasons for owning what you own and selling what you sold. It all makes perfect sense. Keep doing what's best for you and your family!

Thanks for the update. We can sleep well tonight

Love the Garage Update videos Doug. Congratulations on all your recent sales/acquisitions, and it makes TOTAL sense given the experiences you've had, and moving into the next phase of 'responsible' adulthood. ha! Keep em coming!

I'm super happy that out of any other car reviewer you made it big man. Been watching your videos for a couple years now and love your channel!

I get it, there is something special about getting into an older vehicle before electronics took over and just enjoying it. Even if it's nothing that special, maybe even more so since you don't worry about it. I have a 2023 luxury cross over, 2005 HD truck, and a 2003 Land Rover Discovery. I grab the Discovery keys any time I am just out doing daily things because it's just so unique and fun to drive.

I don't get all this "I don't drive it to keep its value up" So I appreciate you for actually moving your GT around! Happening a lot in the motorcycling community too. For me personally, a car that cannot be driven has no worth in it. It was designed solely for this purpose, which it won't fulfill as a "collectors" item. The driving experience isn't going to change much over the lifespan of a car, so drive it if you want to. Of course costs will rise as parts wear, but if that's a problem for you, you can't afford it anyways.

I half agree - really beautiful cars are also a work of art - some collectors / owners keep them in their living room or in case of the 8C the owner screwed it to the wall as art. It's also different if you have tens of cars .

I think what people don't realise is that you can fall in and out of love with cars for the weirdest reasons. I bought one of my childhood dream cars in my Golf GTI but I know that it's never 'the end'. I am fully aware that at one point I'm selling this car. For what, that remains the question, but even if you love something, it might have to go at one point. Doug's had the CGT for a while now and the memories of owning it will remain forever, even if he does sell it. The fact that people on the internet gatekeep what their favorite KZreadrs buy and sell is crazy to me.

An American, German and Italian supercar spread is a pretty great line up. I’ve got a German VW t25, Australian WB one tonner, and Japanese 88 Corolla Seca liftback, so pretty much the same thing… 😅

Doug is missing the thread. You are trying to argue with 17 year olds? No one hates you and no explanation is needed. The point is maybe some people think you are evolving from your basic concept of quirky cars to new cars and exotics.

You are doing nothing wrong no explanation is needed.

I think with all the cars you have driven and are still to drive, the want vs need vs keep vs sell vs what next is even more difficult. Big ups for thinking the way you do, and being the Doug is the type of guy who drives his cars. May your dreams continue and be fulfilled.

As always very smart and sincere advise.... thanks... I think the same now at my 47

It's one thing for people who don't have money to plan out how they're going to spend money. It's another thing when you actually get money. Like, woah, all that wasn't in the brochure. Which is why our cars, my 2024 BMW 5 sedan, and my wife's 2024 BMW X5 SUV, both PHEVs, are well more than enough.

Here we go again with a video of Doug justifying to himself comments why he buys or sells cars. Dude, just buy and keep and sell whatever you want. You dont need to justify it to anyone lol.

hey Doug. great choices! would you film some of your rides with your exotic cars? i would love to enjoy watching you having fun with them ❤

Been a longtime subscriber and I completely understand. As you grow older, needs and priorities change and if you want to have a family, you can't take them around in old cars that likely aren't safe for modern standards. For the money, it's a simple fleet with the 3 dream cars you take out on a fun day that'll likely go up in value, the summer beach car, the modern daily that's also super practical, and the modern hauler that can still off-road a little.

I can relate 100%. I’m not at that level but I was juggling 4 vehicles for a year as a 52 year old single guy, living in a townhouse community with a one car garage, one spot in the driveway and two visitors parking passes. The ‘14 Miata Club is the garage queen, ‘93 MR2 occupied the driveway, the ‘99 SAAB 9-5 and ‘11 Forester (all manual) got the parking passes. Most of the time I had to park them a block away and walk. To my house. Got old when the weather wasn’t great. When I got married, my husband came with his ‘17 GLS and one had to be parked outside the community 2 blocks away. Sold the MR2 because I wasn’t driving it as much as I did. Before I was working 30 miles away and would drive it often on the beltway. But when I started working 8 miles away in DC, I was concerned it would deteriorate quickly on the horrible DC streets. It was one of my “dream” cars and was wonderful to own for 5 years. But that spot is better used for my husband and the other 3 ticks the boxes that work for me. The one owner SAAB is mint and a nice highway cruiser. The Subie is the daily beater. The Miata is my “I’ll sell it when I’m too old to drive it” car.

I used to freak out when I saw an SVT Lightning back in the early 00's after I got my license.

I don't hate you, Doug. I hate the god forsaken echo in this damn garage.

Congrats on the second green jacket, Doug!

That was mee too in my 20s. Had 3 cars truck, bmw and sportbike then dreamed about a 4-6 car garage and collecting more and more. Reality is that car break down and need attention even if it means changing dead batteries, tires, registrations tune ups etc. Im 34 years old and im down to a large sub and a 4 door sportscar that cover all my bases for usability. Sometimes i look at really cool cars and think i can afford it but the extra headache and time away from family isnt worth it to me.

Bunker sound insulation when? The bloody echo is unbearable

He took the shmee route. Buy car. Drive and experience car. Sell car on his site which prob brings a small premium since he's Doug, make his money back, rinse and repeat

I do hope he still gets an Audi A2 when they become available in the USA. Instead of a race he could do a fuel economy challenge.

The cuts to the hands is brilliant

Doug is the type of guy to make his life complicated and later to simplify it, to just make himself feel better and happier!) 🤣🤣🤣

Doug's the type of guy to make a point about his family wagon by smoking a Ferrari F40 with it

Doug is the kind of guy to start a new channel (more Doug DeMuro) to share updates on his life and never use it

That’s because that channel became the cars and bids channel.

He shared details about why on Graham Stephans podcast recently. Apparently those videos weren’t able to achieve the same revenues as the main channel so they scrapped it.

happy to hear you still have the g500 cabriolet, so quirky

At the end of the day, you’re a human. Things change in your life. Youre fortunate to have such an amazing car collection. I personally think it’s silly to get upset, so with that, cheers to you for owning cars that you enjoy.

Really great advice shared in this video. I’m close to Doug’s age and can totally relate. I’ve held onto my 911 despite having kids. I used to freak out about it getting dirty or scratched. Now, I don’t care as much. I just drive, maintain and enjoy it. I don’t need anything more.

I'm so happy how far Doug has come. First video i ever saw of him was when he purchased his 360 Modena over 10 years ago

One has to have some toys to enjoy for all our troubles Doug. I remember having a yacht and thinking I'd never get a second one but then I'd never enjoy the Indian Ocean and the Pacific as I was enjoying the Atlantic with my original one. Its a hell of a cost but its amazing to have two moving homes away from home.

One interesting quirk on Cars & Bids! Is that Doug Demuro has 250 to 350 photos of his personal cars sold! Everyone else has less than 100 Haha! Love your stuff Doug!

Congratulations on everything you do Doug! Coming from someone who owns 7 cars, 6 of them being fun cars, I agree that any more it then becomes more of a business and less a pleasure. All my cars get driven quite a bit and so must be maintained regularly. Fun fact, all my cars I have owned since new and range from 30 years old to 3 years for the most recent.

You need a shelby mustang or a c6 or c7 vette, zl1 camaro etc. Would be super cool.

Love to see someone actualy USING their damn cars. They should have scratches and dings and there's no reason to have a fleet of cars that don't get enjoyed, loved seeing pics of both the GTs and the Countach on dirt. That is what being a car enthusiast is all about. Keep doing you Doug :)

Probably Doug is the only youtuber who, despite being able to take the car he wants, thinks before taking it, congratulations on the choices made, first of all comes the family! Best regards from Switzerland 😎

11 cars here! I´m 37 years old and get the point. But No. 12 is waiting! I´m addicted and not willing to stop.😅

As a fellow adult with responsibilities, I was pretty excited for your Sequoia TRD Pro purchase. I’ve never really been into super cars or older cars - too much effort to own like you say. But camouflage seats on a Toyota?! That is exactly the kind of quirks and features I can get behind.

The GT and Countach are such dream cars!! Happy for Doug

Lots of great points in this video, I enjoyed it. And I still think my favorite of the fleet is the FGT... just so perfect in so many different ways!

That beautiful reverb :D

The age comparison is right on point. In my early 20's I owned four motorcycles, a street bike, C90 Honda scooter and two enduro's. I thought it was cool to have them all and rode each every other day. In the early 90's thru the mid 2010's had a car and a scooter and up two a year ago a miata and a Honda bobber. Now I just have the bike, No trying to decide which one I am going to use. In a few more years when I completely retire I will own a Urus even though I would rather have a hurican. The younger me would be taking the sports car but the older me now is more practical.

I like Doug‘s minimalistic approach.

This ( 😊) was the best “we’ve recently sold this” combo ever ✅👍

I use to want a fleet of cars and trucks but I realized it’s not worth it and having them sit is not a good thing too. My mind set is sell what I can replace and keep what I can’t replace. Also if the maintenance costly and doesn’t bring me enjoyment or break downs happen too often then sell them. So I agree with you on what to keep or sell.

I wonder if that was what was on Doug's mind with the Land Rover. New imports seem to be on Cars and Bids every week. Fun Fact in 2041 Americans will still be able to import 25 year old original style Defenders.
