Forgive me if this has been posted before, but surfing the youtoobs over holiday weekend i stumbled on Regular Car Reviews. I thought I'd share for those who maybe haven't seen them. The basis is the guy takes pretty average examples of cars and reviews them, and often places each one with it's stereotypical owners. He's a bit odd, and not everyone's cup of tea, but funny at times. (If you like poop jokes) I did think think he missed the opportunity when reviewing a chevrolet cavalier to name it the offical car of teenage moms.

Meh. I've seen this guys stuff before. I suppose some folks like it.
RCR is very hit or miss with me, depending on the particular review and the mood I'm in. Sometimes I'm howling with laughter, others I can't make it through a minute of the review.
I think Mr. Regular must be fairly local to me, as I get and enjoy some of his references to obscure local geography. As such, I always try to see if I recognize the cars from the review as well. Like the FD RX7 I know I've AXed with, and there's one or two others I can't think of at the moment that I swear I've seen out and about before.
I enjoy RCR, but he's been a bit more off than on lately. His 944 review bugged me so much I made a thread about it.
That 944 review was the only one I didn't like. The 928 Hunter S. Thompson review was pure gold.
In reply to Furious_E:
He Lemons races as well. The content is hit or miss and is straining as he attempts to evolve the humor while still making jokes about masterbation and bodily functions. I think that he'd be best served leaving video and going to writing review at this juncture as some of his analogies and literally references are fantastic.
It has been talked about on here and from time to time he has reviews I don't agree with.
In reply to captdownshift:
I think i did see he is writing a column somewhere now...R&T maybe??

That 944 review is enough that I won't give any of his other videos a listen. It has nothing to do with the fact that I like 944s. That was the most juvinile 31 seconds I've experienced since pre-school. And yeah, 31 seconds was all I could take.

The first few I watched had been so over the top that I stopped. But going back, the Hunter S. Thompson 928 was amazing.
