As a college student it is a whirlwind to begin to learn all the many skills it takes to be a functioning and successful adult. As I fail and succeed in learning these skills I hope to share with you what I have taken away from my various jobs, financial exploits, academic strategies, and my many experiences with cars, computers and more.
Also, if you can't tell, I really like cars. They're my passion. So you'll hear a lot about cars, along with all insights on tech, finance and more that I can pass along to you, with some cinematic fun!

The Best Mix of Fun and Practical for the Money, the 2007 BMW 328i (A Doug-Style Homage)
I filmed this video back in the summer of 2021, still in the heat of the pandemic and shortly after deciding that I would be taking a job that would move me away from the San Diego are after college. At that moment I was jobless, graduated from college, had no girlfriend to keep me busy, and knew that I had to take advantage of these last moments of my time in the beautiful San Diego area, like meeting Doug DeMuro (which I did end up doing later in the summer after filming this video on the day he filmed the Hyundai Santa Cruz video) and filming a video in Doug's style of my own car. The keen-eyed among you will notice that this is not only filmed in the same style that Doug himself likes to use, but it was also filmed in one of his favorite filming locations in the San Diego area. Just knowing that Easter Egg myself made this video a lot of fun and very rewarding to make, since I really got to pretend to be Doug for a bit.
I knew Doug would not review my car himself, since Doug is the type of guy to only review cars that are unmodified and the top of the model range (in the most desirable body style for the era which in this case was almost certainly the saloon). However, the only thing this era of BMW needed was the manual transmission to be worthy of review, since these represented an enormous amount of fun and decent reliability and practicality for the money. For those living in areas with some seasons and weather there were cars of this model with 4-wheel-drive, in all but the hardtop convertible. With 4 different body styles, there was a lot to choose from, including the coupe, hardtop convertible, sedan, and wagon/saloon.
I personally love having the coupe, since I like subverting expectations and doing far more than I ought to be able to, armed with nothing but a 2-door car and roof racks. I also prefer having the possibility of kicking the rear wheels loose with rear wheel drive, even though now living in WA it would sometimes be nice to have an X-Drive model. Snow is what chains are for, right? Who needs 4-wheel drive...
If Doug were to review one of these cars I would think it would be: the e93 (wagon) body, low miles, manual transmission, X-Drive, iDrive, sport/premium/cold weather/lighting/performance/comfort assist packages, and probably still the naturally aspirated inline 6 (since the turbo offered a lot more power but not the classic BMW powertrain and slightly better reliability that the N52 offered). If you have such a car, definitely contact me and I might make an offer. Also contact Doug and hopefully he would consider reviewing it!

Viofo A139 Dashcam Install and Review
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 lety
Dashcams are an important thing to have, since they can save you the trouble of having to argue about anything related to an accident. In my case I had to take someone to court because they lied to insurance, which could have been completely avoided if I had a dashcam at the time. That said, having multiple camera angles and other features can help a lot with solidifying circumstantial evidence...

Apple Watch SE Full Review

The Apple Watch SE was released alongside the Series 6, and while slightly lacking in features and hardware from the higher end Series 6, it is still a decent device for decent value. The existence of this watch shows Apple’s commitment to having an offering at every price range for each of its product lines, a strategy which has been developing over recent years and is very clear to see across...
Is the M1 MacBook Air Right for Developers?
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed 3 lety
There’s no doubt that Apple’s newest lineup of Apple Silicon Macs have been extremely compelling for so many reasons. Amazing battery life, outrageous performance, great thermals, all with the renowned Apple build quality, make it hard to ignore these products. Given that MacOS is now running on an ARM architecture on Apple’s in-house chip designs, is this product ready for software developers?...
Incase Dots Hardshell Case for M1 MacBook Air
zhlédnutí 43KPřed 3 lety
Too many cases offered for the new M1 MacBook Air are just residual designs from the 2020 MacBook Air with Intel chips. This means that most cases offered have unnecessary vents on the bottom, when they could easily be sleek and ventless to accommodate the fanless design of the M1 Air. Incase took the time and resources to design a sleek case without the unneeded ventilation, and in this video ...

Apple Watch SE Unboxing & First Impressions
zhlédnutí 188Před 3 lety
Released in September of 2020, these new watches offer decent performance with the S5 SiP chipset, as well as the same great screen and many of the same Health features, but lacks an always-on display or EKG app support. This is somewhat frustrating for customers such as myself, since it's fairly obvious that these main differentiating features are software omissions rather than hardware limita...

How Will Apple's Transition to ARM Affect Hackintosh?

The transition of Apple from Intel to Apple Silicon in their Mac lineup is huge but expected announcement. Now that we know it's coming, what does that mean for the Hackintosh community? No doubt there will be changes, but I'm confident in an always-thriving community of tinkerers, hackers, and enthusiasts to keep the ball rolling as long as Apple is itself. Here is a great example of someone a...

If you’re curious about the comparative performance of these cards on Grand Theft Auto V, here is a thorough look at how they each handle the game at 1080p. Of course, the 5700XT (the more expensive card) performs better, but the 2060 puts up very respectable numbers as well. A HUGE thank you to Orphic Gaming for the help in making this video! His rig happens to be the same as mine for everythi...

This benchmark was done at 1440p with every single setting at the absolute maximum. Typical performance reduction from recording the screen is 5-10%, so results may be better on your own build. Only stock clocks were used for the CPU and GPU, and this was done using the Gigabyte Gaming OC model of AMD's 5700XT. Let me know of other benchmarks you'd like to see in the comments section.

Hey, this video was great. But fun fact, the battery in the trunk is mostly for weight distribution.
I need some help buying a used car of this Im hoping this video will help!! It has a freakin oil leak and damaged exterior but it is only 4,200 bucks. 170kmiles..
No…
Idk chrome looks more OEM and classic
Are you using a hardwire kit? I didn't see what cord you used.
What exhaust? Omg
Rob da-muro but I love him
run flat tires are a horrible idea i drive with a spare in my trunk
Dude! What exhaust is this? It sounds amazing!
rockauto has thas cup holders on the cheap
This plane is so broken on Xbox, Either the autopilot crashes into a mountain, Or the engines don't start, Even with fuel
does anyone know how to get the black and green cable to stay in the big block?? or would it need fully replaced with new set of wires plz anyone radio display completely off but buttons surrounding are all lit up help!!!!!
So should lock camera be on or off?
off I guess
Get it in manual if you get one! Love both of mine!
I know which dash cam you have lol I know that sound it makes when the car is started.
has it been reliable?
Okay dougie 😂😂😂😂
Is it kind to your pocket?
Do this fit micro atx ?
Hey man what did you press for the speedometer?
This is Rob Ramero
I cant help but notice the osu bgm! (when beatmap is paused) Anyways, great tutorial!
Have you broken the rear camera off the seat yet?
best review on the internet man so glad i saw ur video. I saw a unit for sale here in canada for 5500 bucks. would you recommend me buying it?
If the miles less than 130000 otherwise 2500 max 3k
Just need to wear two t shirts next time like Doug!
I liked the video
I had no idea BMW windows could actually move.
I'm surprised that you didnt need any coding... I tried to replace mine from 10/2006 with an identical head unit from 05/2008 and I had no sound :/
Glad you got to pretend to be successful for a day. btw, Doug also doesn't review crashed and bondod cars
This entire video was basically for me and secondarily a plug for Doug DeMuro. If you read the description you'd have the full context.
Chill the fuck out this was good video and as a Doug demuro fan he prolly appreciated it . People are ridiculous
I have e90 330i 2006 with hifi music system. It has dead pixels. I found a 2010 e90 323i with base system in junk yard. So can i swap my radio unit with it or not? Bcz mine has hifi system but that one is base. Radio units looks similar though.
Slack took me here ✌️
Hey thanks for this! How would you advise to approach removing the faceplate of the climate control? Are the clips on the sides? Love to hear back
I thought it's Doug xd
don't continue to do this please
Agreed
From above: "This entire video was basically for me and secondarily a plug for Doug DeMuro. If you read the description you'd have the full context."
Do whatever you want ! This was a great video . These people are bored and misreable. If anythang this was a tribute to Doug. People always find ways to complain about something
do it ur way man be original it goes way more along than copying someones idea and realisation
@@ak1.mp3 have u idiots ever heard of a tribute ? Like a spin off he doesent constantly make videos like this he was doing it to commend the man’s. And even so who really gives a f? Idk why I even waste my time.
Papa doug ain’t gonna be happy about you jacking his intro
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
You’re just like Doug DeMuro
Doug Demreo Vibes 😂
myman, you literally didn't show installation of the psu cables....
I agree about the 3rd camera. I actually bought the A139 Pro with the two camera setup.
I clicked in all the sides, but the left side is clearly bent upwards so I’m worried if I need to apply more force to get it down or if the top piece just isn’t aligned correctly from left to right. Would pushing on the lid hurt the screen?
First of all, thanks for the video. It is very helpful. After saying that, and looking at the examples you give at the beginning of your video, I have to tell you that the driver in the examples is very stupid. Look at the second example. He recognizes the other vehicle about to cut into his lane. He hunks and accelerates. That is very very stupid. Of course, the other driver is to blame, but what does it matters when both parties are hurt? On the road, be smart, not right. It is stupid to be right and dead. Much better to "lose" and live.
So the Honda CR-V wasn’t able to maintain the lane and you decided that would be the perfect time to do a fly by and lay on the horn rather than hang back and play it safe?? 🙄
Thanks for the nice hands on video. Do you ever need to get the micro SD card out? If so, was it accessible? Thanks 😄
ngl im just here for the cat
great job showing the ram though
The last 2 cables for power mine is a 3 pin clip with a single wire to it. Not a 4 pin header.
the butter knife 😂
Can i not run it with just 1 8 pins?
I recently bought a macbook air m1 and I've been trying to look for cases since I don't trust myself without one, but I've been seeing mixed reviews about cases ranging from them being able to potentially damage your macbook over time like straining the hinge or bending it in some way especially with the macbook air since it's way thinner. I just don't want that risk happening with my macbook have any of you experienced these issues? If not what cases should I get for my macbook? specifically the macbook air m1 2020.
i had the incase for over a year my hinge doesnt fell any diffrent compared to other cases
any cables should be routed behind the side airbags as when they deploy, the force can snap the cables which can whip out and cut you
Very helpful! Thanks.
