      IMHO
      They should have a 2nd channel “gg2”, “mark and gasoline”, “gears and mark”, “mark’s gears” or whatever
      Make it all the buying cars/receiving them at the shop, behind the scenes, maintenance(fluid changes, brakes, his car, etc), little finicky things, tips/tricks, learning/figuring out new things etc
      He’s pretty good on camera…why not give him extra screen time, and at the same time add profit to the channel…by making a second channel?
      Almost every other car UA-camr has one…but give Mark the main host/focus on this one, I’d watch it
