9/10/17 YouTube Celebrities?

    I have always liked fancy cars, who doesn't?  The prices keep them in the hands of the real rich people, so I don't really bother getting my hopes up.  This past week, I ended up on a vlogger (someone who does video logs) in youtube that follows and knows maybe a little too well all the cars of the super rich.  The kid goes by the name Stradman and he really is a nice guy who brings the energy of a little kid on Christmas morning every time he sees a new car he is interested in.  He seems to favor the Lamborghini car line which I did not realize there were so many varieties.  I assumed they made 2-3 different cars but apparently they have become a very niche company where they will make a car but only 20 or 30 of them.  He went to a certain dealership and they had just taken delivery of two new Lamborghini Venenos and he is giving off stats like there are only 13 of the convertible variety and 3 of the coupe version being made.  Then he has even more detail, such as of the 13 convertibles, so many have the green striping, so many have the red striping and they are supposed to go here or there.  By the way, these Venenos cost around $4.5 million bucks.
     He has a "cheap" Lamborghini Gallardo, which in a later video says it is part of his brand, he knew it would help his image if he had a car from the world of the exotics he loves so much to drive and call his own.  His Lambo cost a measly $110,000, with 10 years old but only 10,000 miles.  He talks about financing the car and then also explains how he pays and gets to live this life amongst the rich.  He got a degree in economics, which he was working as an accountant somewhere, he also has been in the business of flipping cars, constantly buying and selling the cars he drives.  He mentions he has a lot of experience doing this, so he routinely makes a couple thousand bucks by doing this.  He also makes money on YouTube by making videos but he says this barely helps support the trips he takes following car shows and stuff, but it is one less thing that comes out of his salary as an accountant.
    Guys like these at least allow us to see what is out there.  He has a friend with a Pagani Huayra, which I had never heard of before.  He shows all sorts of other exotics, such as Floyd Mayweather's Koenigsegg Trevita, Nikki Minaj's Pink Lambo, Bugatti Chirons, McLaren P1s, and so many other 1 of a kind beauties, I can't even wrap my head around some of the names.
    I can start to see that maybe there is room for these guys on YouTube to make a little money from their efforts.  Content which he is offering is very much 1 of a kind.  He even mentioned that he had gotten laid off in 1 of the videos but maybe he is making enough from his videos and selling cars.  It is funny that where ever he goes, he is recognized by a young crowd of other kids.  I don't want to cheer for the kid, but if he is doing it on his own then maybe he does deserve a warm atta boy!!!
