Doug Demuro and a 512 BB in Dubai

The 512 was always a favourite Ferrari. Just a great looking thing with a fascinating engine.

He said the BB sold for $60k in 1981, roughly $160k in 2017. Consider what a top self Ferrari goes for now.

At one point I looked up and compared prices in 1970. A 911SC was the same price as a Buick 225 Electra (roughly $35k in 2015) both affordable to reasonably well off middle class folks. 

More reasons to be bitter.

The 512 BB was always one of my favorite of all exotic cars.  Such a clean and timeless design.   

That was the poster car on my wall back in the day.  I thought the Countach was cartoonish by comparison even back then.

Still one of the greats.  I have small feet, so I might be able to drive one.

Yes. Doug Demuro. 
Wanted to watch this video because of the car.  Tried to do it.
Can't Facking Stand Him.

I don't know why Doug gets so much hate....I don't mind him.

He's okay.  His style of going through the tiny details of the car is actually really cool.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

He's pretty polarizing. That's why I put his name before the link.

Some days I can take him better than others. The mugging for the camera can get old pretty quick.

I do like him pointing out the various quirks on what are typically pretty rare cars.

He reached a new low with his Doug-o-meter stupidity.

I always stop the vid before the "Doug Score."  Not interested in that.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Yup. That's where I bail.

[rrocket]

IMO, when you do something like that, your credibility goes down as a "real" reviewer.

[johngenx]

It's tongue-in-cheek. His whole thing is tongue-in-cheek.  Love him or hate him he does a different thing as he's successful. Look at his hit counts on his vids.

Yup.  I just dislike the Doug Score thing, so I skip it.  Otherwise I like his approach of all those "quirks and features."  I don't place any stock in his driving impressions - but his reactions are sometimes humorous.  He also finds some really interesting cars.
