I had met the Vehicle virgins guys once when that channel was still a thing. Both, including Parker, were actually pretty down to earth and easy to talk to.

Not to thread drift (much), but Little Tujunga is definitely a fun drive. Very technical and there are a few tight spots with blind corners up to and along a narrow ridge section, so you need to watch speed and be very careful there. Otherwise highly recommended. A little off the beaten path, so there's usually not too much traffic either, though it's well known by locals. I live pretty close to there, so it's one of my favorites among lots of great canyon roads in the area.
Back to YouTubers!
For general car reviews, I agree with pretty much everyone that's posted, including that I can't stand Schmee and have a low tolerance for SavageGeese.
I generally like Joe Achilles, but he rambles a bit.
I appreciate Throttle House (more now), but as mentioned the comedy often misses.
Some of Jason Cammisa's work is excellent, particularly the 'Icons' series.
Not really into The Smoking Tire, though some of Matt's insights are good.
Before I bought my G80, I watched all of the YT reviews I could find on the car, so exposed to lots of choices.
Off-topic again (sorry), here's some other YT car stuff that's awesome (IMO):
I really like M539 Restorations, and I love the years-long Project Binky series from Bad Obsession Motorsport.
