Worst things that happened to car reviewers: #3. Jay Leno - caught on fire, days in hospital #2. Richard Hammond: almost broke his neck, weeks in hospital #1. Doug DeMuro: got wet in the rain, 30 minutes in camera store Tough luck has Doug 🤣🤣🤣

Jay also was in a wheelie car that flipped over and drove his motorcycle into a trip wire in an alley almost clipping his head. I think two of those in same year 😅

[@tslexus1989]

So glad that you and your wife were able to have kids. That story was really moving and proves you never know what someone is going through. That G80 video is one of my favorites, didn't even notice something was going on, and you are extremely professional.

It's a fine example of "the show must go on" philosophy.

"My Miata was in a Doug DeMuro video" is something i never dreamed I could say, thank you for including my auction in your video intro I was not expecting that! Definitely a perk of selling your car through Cars and Bids!

This is why I get annoyed when people make comments like "must be nice" to people with money. I've watched you since the Ferrari 360 days, and you definitely have worked hard for your career.

[@bck2mono]

My god, man- 2 of everything when you shoot! 2 cameras, 2 tripods, 2 microphones, extra memory and a supply of batteries/chargers. Also: get a clip-on umbrella for the tripod to cover the camera in the rain. This should all fit in one good pro camera bag for travel. You’ve got the bucks, Dougie!

[@joshpinchuk7061]

Doug basically tells us a story how he's able to write off the expenses for his honeymoon because he did a car review during it, then he makes more money while he's telling us the story.

Doug is an excellent troll. He left the hellcat out on purpose to drive comment engagement. Well played.

[@kyleelliott512]

I mean he got the backend out for a few seconds then let off the gas and nothing happened, not a very exciting or engaging story.

[@DougDeMuro]

It really wasn't a big deal. It got a little squirrelly but I saved it, moved on, nothing happened. I never really think about it. It does look funny on camera, though!!

[@melvingibson4525]

@@DougDeMuro all's well that ends well, agreed

[@1999studios]

The miscarriage story is so emotional to think about. Actually shot a crowdfunding video for a high school short film a few days after my family left my father in the middle of the night, and the location was right down the street from the old house. Looking back, I also can't see that in the finished product, but I do remember great times filming with some friends, and literally running to a Walgreens when our SD card failed. Kinda healing to know you can pull through horrible experiences like that

[@dustysummit3900]

As someone who works as a photographer in the off-road motorsports and UTV industry for the past 5 years the amount of wrecked cars during shooting is staggering. The most expensive one was a $200,000 prerunner rolled but luckily we had all the shots we needed and it was right at the end of the shoot. We have had countless flats, blown transmissions, tie rods, wheels, body damage and even seen cars roll down massive sand dunes. Off-road media is very destructive. Not to mention getting stuck in the desert for hours on end😅 LUCKILY I have never had anyone get hurt on a photoshoot👏

[@kristjanveski]

I'm a professional photographer and no matter how many times you do the same thing or how well you prepare, life can always throw you a curveball, or something just slips your mind and you forget an integral part. It's just like having a bad day at any other job. Also, the curse of the camera is not a guarantee but it is real. I've been trying to film a new video with my car, and have run into a camera failure each and every time, from the battery dumping charge, to overheating, to sudden traffic on a usually quiet road. I think the lesson is to push through and overcome, and yes, have backups!

I'm sorry to hear about the miscarriage. At least in my opinion you're allowed to take some time off for personal reasons Doug! Don't push yourself too much. I've been watching your videos for the last 7 years (the Pontiac Aztek was the first one haha) but I never really thought about the fact you have a private life too, obviously. So as I said please don't overwork yourself and to many more years of quirks and features! :)

[@ashsabetian2943]

Doug, regarding the Ferrari Enzo story in Australia..Yes you had plenty of experience driving very expensive super and hyper cars in the US and Enzo is a very expensive hyper car...I would say the reason why the Aussies did not let you drive it is because of all the laws and liabilities surrounding someone on International license and maybe unfamiliarities with driving on the opposite side of the road and Melbournes busy unfamiliar streets.. But I agree with you, if they did not agree on you driving it than they should have honestly told you when they communicated with you before you left the US.

[@bwofficial1776]

At the very least, they could have let him drive it around the parking lot. 5MPH is better than 0MPH.

[@thesam19841]

I very much understand the pain that a miscarriage can have on a person... When I found out my wife was pregnant, I sold my daily driver Volvo 850 sedan and my project Volvo 240 sedan and bought a much nicer car, a 96 Roadmaster sedan... Everything worked, including A/C which was important as I wanted no distractions during the birth... 3 months in we lost her and I thought I had to be strong so I pushed it all down and focused on getting the car finished and dialed in to be perfect... It was cathartic to work on the car and I could tend to my wifes needs and focus on her I had just gotten new wheels and then drove to my buddys house to work on some suspension... I left the old rims to come get later in the week with my Jeep. On the way home I was sideswiped by a car that tried to cross 5 lanes at once to beat a traffic light... then he took off hit and run... A few days later I went to pick up the wheels and they asked how the car was doing and I burst out crying infront of 5 guys in a speed shop... Losing the car I had set up for my child was like losing her all over again... They understood once i was able to compose myself... I ended up buying another Roadmaster when my daughter was born, a rare yellow one, and I loved that car almost as much as I love my little girl... I actually wrote to you asking if you wanted to review it, although you rightfully declined as mine was not nice enough and im in ohio

I learned this from watching them film reality shows. If your camera has a shoe mount on top for a light, you can mount a GoPro camera there and that's what they mounted on their field cameras or whatever they use so they always have a backup camera rolling and always get the shot. They also have backup audio and the thing is waterproof. That would have prevented your camera emergencies.
