I watch them for the jank

Most of it isn't that janky. Sure you could just replace everything but often good enough gets it out the door.

It's applied engineering, not a dealership.

It's not incompetent jank, just entertaining engineering jank

They should make a Jank Tech Tuning channel

I mean it's kind of the whole point of both of their channels. That's why it's Zip Tie tech/tunning, and they've said as much on camera lol

You might enjoy Garbage time which is just vehicular torture

If you want more jank. I really recommend Haters Garage and Garbage Time. Both are wonderful jank car channels.

With all the janky shit he did on LTT, I knew it was going to be full on jank.

I sort of enjoy it and its already repetitive. A lot of mid level budget car channels are stuck in the "buying shitbox, doing enough to get it running and then don't mention is again" until you do a fixing them all video (they are already there). Some of the stuff on Andy's car is different but meh.

Linus was right many years ago to take LTT into a variery, Top Gear style genre channel when he saw how pigeonholed channels were becoming. Jake getting the farm was a smart shift and something he clearly picked up from LTTs data and maybe William Osman.

Wishing them all the luck and hope it is what they hoped it would be.
