The comments here are truly amazing -- I am honestly overwhelmed by all of the incredible support. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels. I know a lot of UA-camrs buy a lot of exotic cars, so I wasn't entirely sure how this would go -- but I'm so, so thankful that everyone understands just how truly meaningful this is to me. Truly, truly, thank you -- for your support today and over the last 10 years.
By the way, something I forgot to mention in this video: every single year on July 15, I call my friend Brett to commemorate our Carrera GT sighting back in 2005 and to catch up. Every year, for 17 years, even on my wedding day! :)
Love u doug
love u man
you deserve it man; thx for all the content!
You deserve every bit of this. Your hard work and determination did not go unnoticed! Congrats Doug!
Doug u deserve it, big congrats man!
The story is just as great as the car, love this!
When will you reveal your dream car
He was indeed so excited, we can understand the emotions. Great news, inspiring.
Doug deserves all of his supporters
Inspiring and wholesome, and well deserved!
Oh nice my 2 favorite UA-camrs
Doug's the type of guy to buy his dream car and share it with everyone
Agreed. And much deserved love.
Top tier comment 😂 😂😂 March legit can’t come fast enough Freddy! 😅
He's got it up for rental on Truro already.
We are ready to see your new P1. It’s gonna be goood
That was sweet one !👌👌👌
Doug is the only car reviewer who I can watch even when I'm not particularly interested in the model he's reviewing! I'm pretty certain it's because of how cool and genuine he is. So hearing a story like this and seeing him achieve his dreams, I just can't help but smile :) Bless you dude, stay blessed and I can only hope you never stop posting such fantastic content!
Wow Doug, I’m thrilled to see your amazing journey and to finally get the car that got you where you are today, fills my heart. Congrats man!
Congrats!!! So well deserved
Thanks
Fast
Congrats indeed 😜
It's a self-gift after selling part of Cars and Birds 🐥🖕
Thanks
Cheers dude!
Congrats Doug! It goes to show what you can do when you are creative, take risks, and try new things!!! Congrats on the awesome Carrera GT!!!
Hey! It's my Hummer brother Chris! Wow all the big auto youtubers are here!
Hey chris love you too and absolutely Doug is the type of guy to achieve his dream car and inspire an entire generation of car nerds
You also have to meet the right people at the right time. Getting into the AutoTrader gig was crucial to his success later on.
Haha I remember reading his first article on Jalopnik "who is this silly guy" then started following him and... here he is... with his own Carrera GT. I hate you Doug and applaud you for your achievements.
@chrisfix whens the next video coming out!?
Congratulations on your achievement! As a fellow car guy I completely understand the feeling of being able to own your dream car. Proof that hard work and determination can pay off.
He is the epitome of hard & work & determination. Truly happy he got his dream car! Congrats!
He just review's cars
You deserve every bit of this, I’ve Been following since you single handedly stopped carmax from offering warranties on range rovers, I then bought your hilarious book which inspired me to do youtube, in fact a lot of my career success comes from you. Thanks for being here Doug!
And you inspire me. Thank you both.
He's one of us
You know what they say. Good things come to those who wait. And you have certainly waited.....
@@daveyjones777 Everyone has one's dream.
Single handedly stopped carmax 😂😂
Doug the type of guy who...deserves all the success and happiness he's earned. Congratulations! We love you, Doug :')
Here Here!!
This^^ Doug has on of the most wholesome communitys
Periodd
Totally deserved.
Yes!
At this point its not just about the car, but a life story and all you can achieve by devoting yourself to something. A tiny sparkle of Joy in this universe, but an Ocean for you, Doug. And everyone of us that have seen your story.
Just, thank you!
This is an amazing video. It's amazing to hear how much this car has meant to you through the years and I'm super happy you get to have one now. Well earned Doug. It's so cool to see the extra excitement you have during this video.
This just proves that Doug truly is a car guy at the end of the day

Hi Doug !! I am genuinely so happy to see you accomplish all your dreams and reach new heights.. From a young age I was extremely passionate about cars but I live in India where its diffcult to even see these supercars. Fortunate enough I found your content few years back which fueled my passion and helped me gain so much information. I cannot thank you enough for the entertain and the impact that you have on me.. I m 18 and like many my dream is also to settle in the States one day and I m doing my best for it...Hopefully one day I succeed and if I do , I wish to meet you in person or to even purchase a car through " cars & bids " . You are truly such a massive inspiration for me. I dont think this message will reach you but if it does I just want to thank you again. I wish you success in all your future endeavors. Congrats Doug the car looks stunning !!!!
You deserve it 100% !! Congratulations to you for this amazing journey and thank you for sharing this to us.
Mad respect for you and you work from Europe and we look fwd for what the future will bring.
He’s almost in tears doing his introduction. Much respect. To many people have no idea what it’s like to work from the bottom, start with nothing & attain something you’ve dreamed about in your entire life.
Yeah... I think we where all in tears just listening to his enthusiasm!
You can tell it's even more than that. It's well beyond his dreams. Hopefully this happens for everyone. I don't mean a supercar. Just something happens to you that is so far off your radar, you didn't even dare dream it. Whether it's getting that girl, that car, that house, that job, that trip, whatever. Just be sure you get out there and do something, everyday. Try new things, get out of your comfort zone. You never know where it's gonna take you.
Some don’t understand how much a car can mean for someone, the memories, the sacrifices made, congrats Doug
I saw a 911 at age 10. A 1970 911S. I fell in love . Everything I did from then on was to be able afford Porsche 911s. Education job etc
That was 3 GT3s ago
@@jimsteinway695 congratulations bro , keep grinding !
@@jimsteinway695 congrats bro, what do you do for a living?
Congratulations 🍾 Doug! I’m happy for you! What a great supercar! Your enthusiasm and passion for it is evident! Your hustle on your car review channel is truly remarkable! What an achievement!
This made me so happy to watch congratulations Doug!!! I remember being 8 going to the 2005 Greensboro auto-show with my grandpa and seeing this car on display and falling in love instantly. The sweet people at Porsche let me sit in it and gave me a free key fob before we left the booth and I'll never forget that day. This car brings back so many memories and nostalgia of that era of super cars but honestly this one has a unique spirit the others just weren't able to capture imo. Doug's living out the dream of many haha.
Truly inspirational no one deserves it more!
Bro just started the Paul walker challenge
@@KingDarius_5but what if im gay lol
When are you going to ask Doug DeMuro what he does for a living 😅 love your videos btw.
@@Impori Did you change whatever's down there?
@@SN57ONE ayo thats kinda sus
Had to double-take the title - AMAZING!! Congratulations, well deserved - so happy for you, the GT is a work of art!
I think another collab with you 2 again is needed 🤙🏼
graham you should start a twitter spaces
Didn't you heavily promote the FTX scam?
Doug truly is one of the most of all time
Graham what about FTX?
Congrats Doug, you risked and worked incredibly hard! Definitely deserve it, enjoy it for all your fans as well❤
Doug..the kind of guy to live the dream literally...This is my favourite video of yours man (and I've seen them all)..you have earned and deserve everything my friend...love your work :)..and id just like to say say when I watch this vid (which I have many times) it brings tears to my eyes..and somehow everything seems possible..thanx Doug.
Normally I don’t care seeing people get nice things that they always wanted. But I gotta say, that story made very happy you got that car Doug. Truly deserved and happy to see you succeed
overhyped
Doug is the only guy who can post a video of his new car online without making it look like he's showing off. You can really feel his passion and love for his new ride! Congrats once again Doug!
I hope to one day be as enthusiastic about something as Doug is about these cars. Proof that if you work hard and dream big you can do whatever you put your heart to.
It really makes me happy to see dougs achieving his dream
check out JP driving the Carrera GT hard: ua-cam.com/video/UKUY_pmzYTA/v-deo.html
Hey Doug! I completely empathize and felt your passion. I am so happy for you and CONGRATULATIONS on your dream car! You certainly deserve it! Just happens to be one of my dream cars as well. Continue doing what you're doing. I very much enjoy watching your car videos!
Congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You’ve come so far, you 100% deserve this 🙏🏼
I can't avoid but feel happy for Doug, a hard working man that achieved his dreams through years of dedication, truly a legend
Hard working kid* 😂, I always love it when a grown man let's the happiness take them from looking like a restrained "mature" happy man to fully unleashing how really happy they are
ok
Doug's the type of guy who buys a supercar and nobody has hate, envy or anything for it. Hustled hard for years, stayed a humble average guy. Doug, you really deserve that beauty of a car. Much love from Germany
@TDVL Production well, anyone of us could've done what Doug is doing if we'd made the decision to do it at the right time. Doug did it. And i don't think he's been a very privileged dude.
ok
No he's a youtube manipulator, and you bought it. Now he's bragging
@@NormAppleton so you think he's trying to manipulate people into buying a vector w8 or a Subaru svx? Okay. He came up with an idea nobody had before back then, showing cars in depth without long ass driving reviews. You work hard, you can play hard. That's life. Sorry for you if you're not set up like that.
hustled hard? maybe. but not worked hard.
Much Love from Germany,watchin you for over 6 Years now,you deserve it Doug
Singularly one of the greatest stories to listen to and journeys to witness!! Much continued success Doug, keep the great content coming!! 👊🏽💪🏽
Man I would be crying during this whole segment if it were me. This is not a normal car review, this is a review basically of your entire success and now you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor. You deserve every bit of this and more Doug, Congrats!
It's not a live interview. You'd stop crying after the first few takes. Doug maybe did cry a bit when the (phone) camera initially started rolling. His voice does seem a little shaky.
@@djhenyo I think he did cry, and that's a sloppy bugar on his face at the end, after he hastily wiped his face. Crying so hard he had snot, good for him.
Hands down, my FAVORITE Doug video, EVER. Congratulations on this major accomplishment Doug. Well deserved!
He’s so good at telling a story. I have to agree with you. This is awesome.
Your story with this car is so incredibly wholesome. Congrats on making your dream a reality!
I love your story! It make watching your content even more fun. An inspiration to us all to fearlessly chase our crazy dreams. I know the feeling, I decided to go for a completely customed out Turbo GT. It’s not about the icon, it’s not what other people think, it about the heartfelt love for a particular car and how it makes us feel. 😍
Listen to him speak, he's so happy he can barely keep it together. I can just feel it, that sparkle of a true car enthusiast, and the way doug feels represents all that we love about cars and all that we know is special about them. I'm so happy for you man! Let's hope we all get our dream cars!
I love Doug, this thoroughness , his insights on cars but gah damn his voice gets a little to shaken for me when he gets really excited.
I've been dreaming of a Bentley GT for 8 years now. I've driven 5 so far and a 2012 GT Convertible was really impressive.
Is there a book on how to afford $1m+ supercars with UA-cam income? I’d pay for that and quit my job!
@@neisjo no lol
I don't think I've ever seen Doug so happy.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. The middle part where he had to cut away talking about his wedding day made butterflies in my stomach. Congrats Doug, you deserve this.
Ha i gotta admit I got choked up there a bit too myself 💚😅
You’re both crying!
Epic video, Doug! So happy for you. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us.
Such an amazing story for such an amazing guy. Doug, you have outperformed in every way you could. You devoted true desire and passion into cars and look where you are now. You are such a good role model and I aspire to be like you someday!
Doug's the type of guy to drive his supercar around with toothpaste on his face and we still love him. This is an awesome milestone in your career and it's inspirational to see how far you've come in a short period of time. Never change Doug, you're still such a regular guy and I think that helps make your videos great.
probably sunscreen
Yup...he could have reshot the vid but you know what...F it!
That smudge is literally one of the best things about this video.
It's evidence that at this moment everyone, else in the world is invisible to him. That he transcended to a higher state of being where undeveloped people resemble rattlesnakes-angry little animals making senseless noise and who want to spite you, just for not being them, as he drives past them in a Carrara GT. This is nothing to burden yourself with, that's just the nature of the world. And he's just Doug. The remaining fucks he has to give to people he can't see or hear is a precise zero.
In case anyone was wondering.
The pure freedom in his heart and spirit is beautiful to see in his smile. (p.s. this post was more for me than anything but I'm posting it instead of deleting it so if it helps someone else then that's great too)
Doug, when your down in Dallas I'll take you out to lunch!
@@OK-tb3zj sure buddy... Sure....
Doug is the kind of guy to work hard and make his dream come true.
Oh yeaaa! Never give up guys and work hard for your dreams!
Hard work is not enough. You have to network and meet the right people to be very successful. You also have to own your own business.
@@peterbaek9059 he ALWAYS repeats that you need a lot of luck and he had it. Never acts like he was better, like he knew what to do.
So while hard work is not enough Doug really appreciated everything he got over the years, which is really rare
@@peterbaek9059 absolutely correct.
@@peterbaek9059 Of course👊
This put a big smile on my face :) So happy for you, Doug! Thanks for sharing your story with us and a big congratulations!
I love how special this is. Its not just a car its a passion you turned into something you do very well and I love it. Always great vids!!!
You can see the sheer joy and happiness on his face. You can see how humble he is trying to be with it. We all deserve to reach this point of joy and happiness in life. Congrats to you buddy.

This is one of the very few times im genuinely happy for a stranger. So happy for you Doug
It's very cool to see that, similar to the couple moments of tavarish, when he finished the murcielago and 675 McLaren.. not the same energy as building the car back to it's original glory, but the story arch of demuro has been epic, and his hard work and dedication to his craft cannot be denied.. well deserved 👏
congratulations doug. i'm not even a car person really but i love your videos and you seem so genuine, i'm really happy that you have found success. genuine people with genuine passions deserve success. congratulations again.
Doug I've loved watching your videos, i found your channel in late 2019 and since then I've been watching every video that came out, its been a pleasure to see how long you've come over the years, i thank you for keeping us entertained and i wish you the best for the future, congrats on this mile stone, i hope its the first of many to come
I've genuinely never been so happy for someone else buying a car. Knowing the number of times you've mentioned this being your dream car over the years and now finally seeing you get one made my day. Congratulations!
I spent the majority of those 28 minutes smiling. the joy and happiness you can sense in his voice and on his face is heartwarming. I am very happy for you, Doug!!!
Same bro. Same… very happy for him. It’s a cool, inspirational story.
Man I can't believe I've been watching Doug for 8-9 years... Since 2014, absolutely insane. I couldn't help but smile throughout this whole video. Congratulations Doug
I saw your review on your Spanish channel days ago and coming here to realize you made your dream a reality makes me so happy, I can really feel your happiness, it's amazing the passion on this video. Sorry for my english, just wanted to say that I love your videos and that CGT it's also my favorite car of all time. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Congratulations Doug... i really really feel empathy and understand that pure and genuine smile you have; at the end of the day, probably is the most valuable thing that you transmit to your channel's viewers, genuine good one you are.
I have a 1978 308GTB (my all-times dream is a 288GTO... absolutely unreachable, as you might understand) and i enjoy and feel enormous pleasure every single time i go to the garage and take a look, 8 years after getting it... When i saw your Ford GT, wow, that version you have is WONDERFUL, i recall myself buying magazines in the early 00s just for that car, but a Carrera GT, big thing my friend.
I'm really really happy for you.
Cheers from Spain.
I don't think you have very many haters, Doug. I watch you on my lunch break every time you upload, whether it's a new supercar, a minivan, or a weird unheard-of Oldsmobile from 1988. I've been watching you since you had the Ferrari and the Hummer, ain't missed a video since. Your videos are consistent, they are thorough, and nobody does car reviews like you do, and I think a great deal of us deeply appreciate it. In the eyes of the car community, I think we all think you deserve this self-treat. Congratulations! Wishing you many happy miles with it!
What I like about Doug is that he gives me the opportunity to feel like I’m actually in the car checking it out for myself. Most UA-camrs get in the car and drive off and be like: “fast car go vroom.” Not Doug.
@@Jeffkanku Solid point, the few times I've gotten to check out a car from one of his videos for myself, I already felt like I knew the car because of how immersive his reviews are.
@@man_on_wheelz I had to drive a VW ID4 for an event and I knew how EVERYTHING worked just because of Doug and I though that was the coolest thing.
@@Jeffkanku Same with me and the new F-150 Lightening, and Kia EV6. I left the chaperone speechless as I confidently pressed buttons and made changes lol
Very pertinent
This is one of the best moments in UA-cam history was made here! Congratulations Doug DeMuro! Happy to see all your hard work pay off in an enormous fashion attracting something so beautiful! I remember those early Carrera GT videos years ago. Amazing time
The other one is when @tavarish finished his Lambo, real reactions from humble people
I agree Jay! About halfway through I was saying the same thing.
I've been having a really rough day. This video has helped me so much. What an amazing story Doug!
After years of watching your videos, I'm so happy for you that all of this car stuff has brought you so far. Huge congrats for your success from Germany.
This is quite probably the best video currently on UA-cam. Doug, your joy and relatability as a supercar owner is as relatable today as it was when the kid we all were going nuts over spotting dream machines.
So well deserved.
Doug also looking like a young Jay Leno in training here …
I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy for someone that I never met than today. You deserve this Doug. 3 Carrera GT videos later and it’s finally yours, congratulations 🎉😭
Why
Only idiots are happy for other people
Me neither. At least I don't recall it.
I was pretty happy for all those families I never met in Chile when they rescued all those miners way back when...I shed tears of joy and empathy for their relief of being reunited with their loved ones.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 There’s plenty of heroic and beautiful stories that we may never hear as well but I literally watch this guys videos more than I talk to 90% of my family so for me yeah I never met him but I spend so much time here on his channel I can’t help but be happy for the guy
simply amazing and inspirational story. your pure passion really shines through all your videos Doug. thank for all the wonderful content and showing the world that you can be a car enthusiast and a wholesome person
the joy in his voice is so contagious
The fact that he remembers the exact date he fell in love with the car as well as the corresponding wedding date, the ring bearers, the toy cars… that made me emotional and it is amazing that all of the steps lead Doug to this point. You deserve it and I am glad to see you being so happy with your Carrera GT.
Carrera GT 2005 & 2009 Zonda R are some of the legendary cars ever.
it’s so incredible to watch your excitement with this video, the culmination of your hard work and risks paying off to your ultimate dream, congrats Doug! 🎉
Just started watching your Wii videos. Brings back memories as I used to play the Wii a lot throughout the early 2010s. Didn't know you watched Doug too
@@pauljr.harrington1905 Yeah. Poof's got some exotic cars of his own, and they're pretty badass.
Dude, poofs a car guy? This is probably the only place I have a chance to get a response from you, can you tell me about your cars?
@@jasonander4964 My cars or his? He's got multiple exotics like a Ferrari 488, Mclaren 600LT, and Lamborghini Urus, and a Huracan STO on the way. Meanwhile I've got a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit that I'm very happy with lol.
@@confusedscreaming2335bro I serious????
Congratulations! It's great to see a dream come true! May all of your dreams keep coming true and thanks for all of the entertainment you provided me over the years!
The first 35 seconds of this video made my heart full! huge fan watch your videos almost daily for years! Thanks Doug for sharing your passion, i share it.
No fancy effects, no overly produced videos… still top car reviewer! Definitely deserves this!
Makes me emotional seeing how happy/emotional Doug is. You deserve it Doug great example of hard work pays off
As a car and in particular a Porsche fan, I am so happy that Doug has achieved his dream of owning a Carrera GT. It is good to know that such an amazing machine will be driven buy someone who loves the car for what it is, not just an investment sat in an air-conditioned garage and looked at occasionally. It also gives me hope that one day I will be able to afford my own dream car, a 964 Carrera. 2. Best bit of the video is the last couple of seconds, when you can hear the emotion in Doug’s voice, it means so much to him. I would have liked to have seen what would have happened if the camera kept rolling for another 30 seconds.
Your enthusiasm and dedication is so inspirational! Keep it up Doug!
Seeing this made me cry, point blank just bawled my eyes out. As a kid I had a poster of an Aventador on my wall and all I’ve ever wanted was that stupid, loud, poorly shifting Italian super car. And someday when I get it I hope I’m just as happy meeting my heroes as Doug is here. His sincerity is so unbelievably inspiring it’s incredible.
@Auschwitz Soccer Ref. found someone who doesn't have any dreams they wanna acheive...let the guy live
@Auschwitz Soccer Ref. ? Wtf
Don't listen to these comments that make you feel stupid
You can cry about everything and nobody has the right to decide what should make someone cry and what shouldn't
Personally I think they this is amazing
Well Doug did just get a $37 million dollar cash injection to Cars and Bids. The investment comes from The Chernin Group, as part of the deal, Ro Choy takes the role of Chief Executive Officer of Cars and Bids. Ro Choy was the CEO of an On Demand Cannabis Delivery service, and The CEO of BitTorrent ... So that would seriously free up some of his own cash. He deserves every bit of success.
you’ll get it man! i hope i get mine. (sls amg)
Doug is the type of guy who can make you feel true happiness for seeing how he achieves his dream. Congratulations!!
Congratulations Doug. Everything comes together. Looking forward to more of your great content.
Congrats Doug! This is what passion is all about! You are an amazing person!
You telling us the entire story of your Carrera GT journey, including the wedding that included Carrera GTs, makes this even more special.
Thank you Doug for sharing your joy with all of us ! And a huge *congrats* to you for fulfilling this almost life - long dream. SO well deserved !
Wow congratulations on achieving your dream Doug!
Damn didn't know ur a Doug fan lol
Damn I didn't expect to see you here bro
Huh your here too
Ferg , tf are doing here ?
Hi ferg
Good for you, Doug! You worked hard for it, and you deserve it!
Congratulations Doug. 🎉 Your story really inspired me to see how hardwork makes dreams come true 😊
We can literally hear you almost breaking into tears at the beginning, this is a dream come true Doug! I'm sure we can all agree that we've been wanting this for you, congrats!
He literally made us feel all those years of yearning in a short video! Just showed how much it means to him, Congratulations again!! Enjoy!!
it’s so beautiful to see someone achieve their life long dream, specially some one who deserves it as much as you doug
Thanks very much for the background on how you got started. I've been watching more and more of the reviews and that started me wondering how it all started.
Doug, this isn't just a UA-camr buying an exotic car. This is a man finally acquiring his dream car. I remember how excited you were reviewing someone else's Carrera. I can't imagine how it must feel to review your own. Enjoy the fruits of all your hard work and dedication. Been watching your channel since pretty much the beginning, you deserve every bit of this joy. Live it up.
Obviously, it's very good to be Doug. One thing i've noticed in life is that once you obtain the title, degree, home, wealth benchmark or mechanical item you seek, you soon realize that it was the pursuit rather than the attainment that was really the enjoyment. To this day I think there's a lot of new Corvettes sold off the showroom to people that say to their friends "I could afford a new Corvette if I wanted too..here hold my beer".
Then months down the road the shine starts to wear off and some of the warts start to show so the pursuit often begins again. I'm happy for Doug, its big jump from a $150K (ish) Ford GT, to a 7 Figure Carrera GT.
DID HE SAY HE WAS 16 IN 2005?! I thought this guy was 40+
@@jefffaller8474 nowadays ford GT is well over 200k
Almost half a million
Add me to the "shedding a tear while watching this video" group. Seriously Doug, I feel like all of us gearheads have pretty much watched you grow up. You're one of the most affable, genuine and REAL people I've ever had the pleasure of watching or even meeting for that matter. Your success is the result of a child-like interest in something, determination and above all, HARD WORK. We can all learn something from your story. You deserve every positive thing that happens to you and you are a light in an increasingly dark world. Cheers buddy.
Not even gonna lie he has the same integrity now as every other giant UA-camr. Never trashes cars anymore, ESPECIALLY brand new ones.
the same here when he said that he got married on the date that he fist saw a Carrera GT and had two small cars with the wedding rings I shedded some tears and it's impossible for me to be jealous of him because he worked so had to achieve his goals plus he makes free content on U tube for all of us to enjoy I'm so happy for him he seem like a really good guy .
Shed tears 3 different times
God Bless Doug, and congratulations!!! :] Please keep making great content for us, your fans!
HUGE congrats Doug! You went from your carspotting hobby to working with these amazing cars and... now you also own them!
That's like the biggest dream for a random carspotter like me, and it takes so much effort that it almost seems impossible.... but you did it💪
Hi.
Congratulations your hard work has paid off! Happy for you!
I’m so happy for you bro! Glad to see you achieving your dreams and goals may God keep blessing you 🙏
i dont think ive ever been so happy for someone I never knew personally but I'm so glad you've finally achieved your dreams after all this time. congrats doug!
I had to read that title a few times to make sure I saw it correctly. I've quite literally grown up watching Doug's videos, from middle school all the way to now in college and this damn near brought a tear to my eye. It's amazing to see this man achieve his dreams in a way that some deem impossible. Thisssss... is how its done.
This is the way
REAL SHIT. Been watching this man since I was a senior in high school...I'm a 27 year old man now.
dude same, I've been watching Doug for who knows how long. I still remember the CTS-V Wagon goodbye video
Doug! Congrats brotha! I’m late here with my comments but it’s very satisfying to see you finally get your dream car! I LOVE cars too! As a kid I I played games identifying cars just by the headlights or taillights, and then started to notice the details outside and inside. Great job getting that Porsche GT ! You did it!
Every car enthusiast is cheering for you my man! You’ve made it and you are sharing the moment with all of us who have been following you since the beginning! Your victory is our victory and your happiness is our happiness just like your tears of joy are our tears too! Well done my friend, proud of you! You deserve it!
When i tell you…. You can hear the uncanny sound of joy in his voice. This video actually makes me want to cry because it’s so refreshing to see someone get something they want. Thank you Doug for sharing this with us!
I truly understand the feeling you have right here.
I bought my dream car 2 summers ago and knowing that my ultimate dream car is parked in my garage feels unreal.
I'm truly happy to be able to own my 1973 Volvo 1800ES and I'm also truly happy that you managed to get your absolute dream car which is the Porsche Carrera GT.
Hey Doug I love how you said' pause for acceration" and the rear spoiler went up!
THISSSSS. Is what life should be about. Finding true joy in your passion and sharing it with the people who supported you along the way. One of the most moving tributes I've seen to both a car, and a career, probably ever. Godspeed Doug. You earned this.
Unfortunately only a small percentage of people actually get to have this.
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle maybe if you spent all this time crying to go work harder you'd have one too
@@thehumanoid6543 why are you so disrespectful and lying?
Doug is the type of guy that makes his dreams come true with years and years of hard work and dedication. Congratulations man. You deserve it.
I don't know you at all, but from the bottom of my heart, I am very happy for you. I see the 16 year old boy you are talking about for the first time ever. God bless my friend.
