When are you guys gonna work on a car again
Thank you
These are cheaper vids, so better for the investors
Probably twice a year 😂
jerry and Jobe left whos gonna build the cars
They literally talked about how if they only made vids where they worked on cars they’d only be able to drop a vid like once every couple months maybe. So it’s either very little donut content, or these cheaper to make quicker to make vids in between longer and more expensive vids. They also confirmed they’re doing another hi lo series which will be the final thing Jerry and Jobe work on.
This is sad. we went from working on cars to dudes sitting in front of a laptop, showing stock pictures of cars.
terence: Why not work on your own projects then? Do you have any cars to work on?
@@stephencurry8552what a strange argument
I mean, I do like both kinds of videos but yes I like car builds way way more! Donut, listen up!
@@stephencurry8552 but Terence doesn't work at Donut, we want Donut videos with builds.
2 guys left
Couldn’t even play the popup and down headlights song during the 8 series segment for the homies.
I was anticipating that so much that it automatically played in my head.
I was waiting for it
The people who would put that in are no longer donut employees.
that's bc it's trademarked
/s
At this point this channel is going to be a reaction channel from now on
and they couldnt even go to the shop to film it they just green screen'd it
You people are so pathetic it’s funny. This is literally what this channel started as. It was them looking at and talking about cars. Albeit not with the shady cholo mechanic.
That’s literally what this channel started as lmfao. You people are completely brainless. Also Jerry and Job left because they didn’t like working on the cars lmfao.
That’s literally what this channel started as lmfao
@@swadist8744you people obviously only started watching donut like 6 months ago. This channel started as green screen everything…
I think Sandro might as well just never go back to his shop at this point
😂😂😂 my boy on payroll now lmao
I wouldn’t trust that guy to fill my tires…
@conor7154 what happened? Sandro the only Mechanic I think actually working on stuff
@@0executedid you not seen him completely misidentifying everything on the cars they brought for him to look at? He’s incompetent lol.
@@conor7154uff my guy u picky as a ho3 😂
Donut is the epitome of not dying a hero, but living long enough to see itself become the villain.
What did they even do wrong this video?
I mean... It's still solid car entertainment. Not the way it was in the beginning, but still, solid. Calling them evil is just plain stupid.
@@TheMainCoreI agree, it’s entertaining, but it’s so far off its roots it’s really hard to see resemblance between what it was to where it is now. Take OG Top Gear for example. what made them so successful is that it was constant expansion on the same theme- a few guys hanging out and driving cars, sprinkled with a bit of automotive journalism and great production. With donut, we went from up to speed and science garage to $5 Temu reviews and Craig’s list searches.
corny asf
@@JustinPMiguel Called change bro. I don't think that's all that bad
Is there anything more satisfying than seeing BigTime outperform Corpo BY ALMOST 6X THE VIEWS on videos dropped at the same time.
literally so funny donut you cant just be a corporation people want what is happening on big time. and don't go begging bigtime to change or trying to shut down the channel lets face it bigtime is better.
Big time at 1.1mil. Donut at 475k. Yikes.
If they look at their recent videos the last video to hit 1 mil views was one that featured Jeremy on the thumbnail. I love Noah and Justin seems fun enough but they really let their talent walk out the door
Day 4 of asking Recurrent to stay out of the writers room and give donut full creative control of their content.
got a chuckle out of the fact that they shot this on a green screen and the background they used was from the next room over lol
They been doing this for a loong time now
@@QcOncleGabnope
Makes it easier to do builds and other filming that needs the shop while also putting vids like this out.
@@Javierm0n0 yeah like I get the logistics of it I just think it’s funny they chose that backdrop
8.8 million subs and sub 300k views in videos. Give the subscribers what they want.
Didn't they pass 9 million few weeks ago? And lost lot of subs because Zach and Jeremiah left?
But corpos are comparing view metrics! what they make doesn't matter! more chinese car reviews!
This is the cheapest video yet.
Get a mechanic for an hour - $200
Hey Justin, can we borrow your laptop?
Came for up to speed , stayed for hi low and money pit , questioning how long people will stay for this automotive chat channel. Car people wanna see car work
So you’re admitting you came for them looking at cars on a computer? I love how all of these people are complaining as soon as two former employees made a video complaining. If not for that you’d be talking about how much you love this lmfao. People are such sheep.
@@conor7154 We had science garage :(
@@countdraco405the last science garage video came out in like 2018. I liked it too but the guy who made it quit because he had a kid or something and they couldn’t find someone to replace him.
@conor7154 people were definitely complaining, but not to this degree. Also something happened to Bart but they didn't say anything about him. I checked cause I was curious a couple years ago, and iirc on reddit Nolan said they didn't want to talk about it but that something happened between them
edit: I mean between donut and Bart not Nolan, I didn't pay attention to what i wrote

Intro “welcome to what’s left of donut” 😂😂😂
Old donut: LETS GET UP TO SPEED ON ALL THE CARS
New donut: heres us looking at a screen for a while
Fuck I'm never gonna get an 8 series anymore
They're still cheap enough to get
I have an 850. Is cool but your not missing much. It is a headache
Lmaooo😂 I thought the same thing 😂
It’s a BMW, move on from that garbage brand.
I know somebody with an 850CSI. It's an absolute blast and the V12 is amazing, but for what it's worth he keeps another 850 for spare parts😂
The lighting makes the green screen super obvious. I miss Donut putting solid effort into videos.
It’s Sloppy… makes ya wonder what happened to the crew?
Big Time took Jimmy
Could be a one off. If it keeps happening, bad sign.
I@@craigcottrellii3618 I hope not I hate jimmy
This green screen is so bad I couldnt hear what they were saying. Whoever did this green screen, did them dirty.
Pontiac GTO is not a burly American Muscle Car.
It is Australian.
Yes fucking hell
A corporate owned channel comes to the conclusion that that every car is actually great? Shocker. I guess you can't antagonize potential sponsors.
So James left without saying goodbye 😢
Yo thats the dude from Big Time
LMAO bruh!!!!
😂
More fake news, add it to the list!!!
New car realese: eeeeew we hate it
Same car 20/30 years later (rare): OMG WE LOVE IT
The 996 got WAYYY too much negativity back in the day, hell it still does. The Supra is just a product of the present and it has a freakin straight 6!
I bought a 996.1 in 2018 for $20k and it was showroom quality. I absolutely love it and it's actually appreciated in value
WE WANT JAME…. Oh shit its sandro 🍿🤯
Any idea what happened to James, feel like i havent actually seen him in a video in a long time now
@@jessecloete2388people suspect he left donut media
@@jessecloete2388he left along with Zach. They both started their own channel called BigTime
@@Rezzerex I know Zack and Jobe started Big Time, was referring to James - havent seen him in any of the recent videos, I see a lot of other people in the comments are asking about him too
@@jessecloete2388 sorry I somehow misread. It’s entirely possible he’s quietly joining them, or going off doing his own thing. Not a huge in-between there. If he’s not showing up either he’s quit or he’s in the process of trying to quit (but might not be there just yet due to whatever contracts might be in place. Or even just living circumstances for all we know) most likely
13:37
Big Burly American muscle boy?? I can literally hear 'Land Down Under' whenever I look at it 😂😂😂
pissed me off 💀💀💀
@@eve_rheadpissed off that the Monaro was butchered for the US market, or that GM killed Holden in favor of Buick?
3:40 is worse for me. "twin turbo v8 sounds. it sounds badass. Way better than a v10 to be honest."
@F41LZZz hes right though, never heard a v10 that sounded better than a twin turbo LS(except maybe a lexus LFA)
I just clicked on the video to see the slander in the comment section🤣
i think a lotta people agree with me when i say i wanna see goofy car shit, not so much talking about cars
work on cars or something, doing goofy shit with cars
or do like old top gear with a cheap car challenge or something, those were always peak entertainment
Yeah this is worse than the Carmudgeon Show. At least /DRIVE is back.
James went the way of his dad it would appear…like father like son. The joke is on us, children of donut.
That's both hilarious and deep af.
DAMN
What did I do wrong😪
No no no. There's just a milk shortage. I'm sure of it... 🥲
The 850 has one of the best looking front ends of all time.
“They take writing about cars like it’s an artform.”
Man’s never read a good book or magazine?
why even show the 850 if you're not gonna drive it? smh
Sandro and Justin make a great team.
Sandro with anyone else in donut is a good team
Same time as Big Time?
Yeah, to the minute even.
Yep
Gotta keep the enemy close
Yup
To the second......im still a donut fan for now.......things are crazy tho hope they keep my attention
The fact that Donut thinks I want to hear you guys give your 2 cents on these cars over a laptop is wild. How about go buy an 8 series or 996 and wrench on it. Donut is gone.
The BMW 850 was my dads dream car. He still has it today and it has less than 20,000 miles on it.
I actually worked on the v12 version on the 850, I was losing my mind, an experience I’ll never forget
Well I think that's a pretty common situation when working on the more advanced BMW models. They are not made to be serviced by normal people with limited tools and access to parts. Actually a lot of modern cars are like that, but the more expensive ones seem to be worse. When I grew up we had a neighbor who was a mechanic specialized on one brand only. The absurd thing was that they sent car over to him when their own mechanics couldn't repair them. He knew just about everything about the strangest kinds of problems in that brands cars and could set his price accordingly. It was good for him, but it didn't make we want one of their cars.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 no I mean I was losing my mind because I never thought I would work on one, it was transmission work so it wasn’t the hardest thing ever
That BMW 850i with the Donut license plate at 20:33 is the one that I helped import from Japan back in 2019. i ended up working on it a couple times. it was great to drive but god was that thing a pain. it had serious battery draw issues. the dashboard would suck power from the battery and kill it over a couple days. It was then gifted to Donut as part of a business deal. I've seen it a couple times over the years in the background of videos
What ended up being the power draw? I have a vampire in my E30 that's driving me crazy.
@@EM-fi2qgI had a weak relay and a aftermarket alarm system that drew power constantly. Removed the alarm, repaired the relay. Hope that helps. Long live the E30
@@Aaronksegal Thanks for the info. I did install auto door locks. I'll look into that as a possibility.
@@EM-fi2qg If you are in the usa you can get a loaner tool from oreilly to help you track it down. "evertough hound tester 67355"
@@EM-fi2qgthe e31 has a common issue with the general body control module 2 going bad and causing parasitic drain. i just got through that in my e31. they’re not super hard. i found a guy that rebuilds the modules for like $75+ shipping and return shipping.
Justin, you lost me at the v8 in the m5 sounding better than the v10, it does not.
Donut may not be the same, but I'm still here for the boys. Nolan, Justin, Jimmy, and others that are just trying to hold it together. GIVE US THE CONTENT WE WANT!
“What do you know about the 996”
Everything about the car changed so drastically from the 911 style which proceeded it (the 993).
Preceeded*
@@mstanton2013 preceded*
promithius
And that's exactly the problem with most of these iconic models. When you changing everything except the name, of course people will complain that you disrespect the legacy. Suprisingly, GM do it the right way with Corvette. Today corvette are far from the old days, but since the change are gradual between models, people still accept that it is Corvette. Even if it's rear engine and expensive car now.
@@sonicslv6132 I learned somewhere,
there was some previous intent to make it rear or mid engine, but I dont remember why they didn't end up doing it
14:33 *"True American sports car"*
Is made 100% by Holden in Australia.
By an American owned company…
@adamhayden5152 If I owned your mom, and she made you, does that mean I own you?
@@adamhayden5152australian and europe owned*
In Germany the 996 was nicknamed "Spiegelei-Porsche" or just "Spiegelei" (it means fried egg), because of it's headlights😂
Donut lost it’s sprinkles!
Where in the world is James, is he in San Diego?
Nah
Yeah he's with Carmen
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn we need a up to speed on James

"Proper American car"
While talking about an Australian car 😁
23:05 "not even the cops"😂😂
He was drooling staring at the car next to his he wanted to drive. 😂😂
4:35 Hey its that guy from BigTime!
I love that channel
sooo we have a green screen of a shot in their shop blurred?
Owner of a '70 LeMans here. Aka the GTO's fancy brother. The GTO is considered by some as the first American muscle car. The Judge! The Firebird! Smokey & the Bandit's Trans Am! That was quintessential muscle!
For us fanboys, the "new" GTO in the era of the Camaro, Mustang, Charger & Challenger revival felt like a slap in the face.
I personally believe If GM would have followed the trend & leaned into the old school styling for the GTO we would still see Pontiacs on the road today.
If it's got less than eight cylinders, they better be in a line.
Introducing the circle six!

Too wide? Maybe work on making better turns if the wide body is too much for you.

True American sports car.
*Actually Australian.
It wasn't discontinued for sale in the USA because of slow USA sales, it finished its production run in Australia for the next Commodore (VE).
Fun fact. The Camero was also designed in Australia by Holden.
They should not have called it the gto. In edition didn't they continue with the version called the Chevy SS? That killed as well because dealership markups were ridiculous
Uploaded at the same time as Big Time’s S13 video and has half the views. Wild.
I've always felt that the magazines bash certain cars without any real reason. Porsche 996 and the F-50 are prime examples.
Sandro, Im with you on the 8 Series BMW. I think its one of the best looking models they have ever put out.
The WD-40 "Pump up your garage" was the best sponsorship commercial I've seen yet 😂 10/10
this whole channel should be called Money Pit if this is the kind of content you're pumping out
We need to make it so Sandro can afford whatever car he wants lol because he is a national treasure at this point lol

We all know that the Stuffed shirts from their management would never allow them to work on cars again. "Nobody would want to watch that!",According to their Parent company.

Collector car feed goons unite
Love Justin and Sandros energy. But I feel like as car guys we’re maybe willing to look past some of the flaws in cars we otherwise like.
Except the Subaru that things fugly
Same upload time as BigTime? Anyone else see that??
Yeah bro I realized that too its seems like Big time have higher view ATM
But not the same views, BT is crushing it
It’s a conspiracy!!! Big business is out to crush the little guy 😢
My biggest problem with the supra is it's to small, it should have been based on the M4 not the z4, it's rivals like the GTR and NSX have double the power
They both on salary making like 4k a month. A 200 dollar laptop. Talk about bare bones, 0 production, 0 effort into making a video. Lowering cost and maximizing profits. Donut went corporate and died
Where our dad James? Discuss the elephant in the room!!
I think we need answers
@@westonswanson3962 they probably need to ask the corporate ladder for permission😂
You two should make a new series and call it "Tall and wide" lol
Donut and Big Time both made 90s era car videos and uploaded them at the same time
Big Time 700k views
Donut 200k views
Sandro absolutely got contractually dragged into becoming a host
The 8 series had rear wheel steering in the 90's 🤯
as an owner thats one of the things that shocked me the most. They had both active and passive systems
Take good care of it, legendary car!
The 300zx had rear wheel steering in 1990
Most jdm cars had rear wheel steering in the 90s
The GTO was disappointing in styling. We wanted a retro style like the challenger.
Yup. That was pretty much the only complaint about the car when it came out. No one wanted that egg shaped styling that looked like a late 90s 2 door Chevy Prizm/Toyota Corolla.
I don't think it even had to be retro styled. If it just looked like that concept that came out a few years before, it would have sold.
As a German and Bavarian i'm glad to see Americans give these Cars (BMW Original 8 Series) the Props they deserve, these are still super popular here in Germany, especially Bavaria, even in my small Town in Southern Bavaria we have 3 People owning them.
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Also the Toyota Supra is more like a m240. They sell for way more than sticker in the US
growing up my grandma owned a super low mile ‘02 911 carreraS with a six speed. that car alone is what got me into cars today. such a hidden gem
Where the fuck is James? What have you done with him?
😂
He is focusing on his own channel im pretty sure.
He sold out
He’s in his monk phase rn
Donut saw the "I see Sandro I watch" comments over on RMS
I still love yall 🥲
Will still support my day ones
My God! I don't like BMW's styling at all. I don't think I've ever seen a single one I could stand to look at. However, that 8-series COMPLETELY changed that! Holy hell, it's frigging GORGEOUS!
What happaned to James ?
I'm guessing he's taking time off to spend with his family more
@@rajivbeachoo3785 Probably not, because they would have just come out and said something and they have to know that "Where TF is James?!?!?" is basically half the CZcams comment section these days. Best guess is he's still under contract with them and he is actively trying to renegotiate his position there or trying to negotiate an exit that is favorable to him, and that he, Donut, and anybody else who actually know what's going on are all bound by confidentiality agreements and can't discuss anything.
I’m glad we still see Jerry in their ads Donut has always elite ads🔥💪
@3.46 I knew my time with Donut came to an end - good luck boys
Someone accidentally added this video to the D-List playlist. I think it was supposed to go into "Testing Stuff".
I genuinely hope that Nolan and Justin get their own channels or make a channel together
Looked for big time...here I am...see you there Sandro
Sandro “not even the cops know “ 😂😂😂
They didn’t even re-record the commercials! 😂 The shark has been jumped on this channel, not even Sandro can save it.
Can we get a video on a drift mower
The Covair deserved to be on this list
Someone just asked me what my favorite car was and here it is being redeemed
The GTO looks like a 2 door Pontiac sunfire with a racing hood.
Just check out the view count compared to BigTime. Similar video, same time posted, very different views. Despite Donut's huge sub count.
I’m starting to wonder if Dave and his Tesla were actually bad
Thanks for selling out donut media. Proving money is power.
