Douglas Andrew "Doug" DeMuro (born: ),https://web.archive.org/web/20180401151928/http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/news/doug-demuro-philly-s-jack-of-all-auto-trades-when/article_07fafbae-32a0-11e8-9556-d395c8a6cbe7.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5dtcoCfKw4&t=4m40sis an American automotive YouTuber reviewing cars usually within his choices or offered. Doug started YouTube in 2013 to complement his articles on Jalopnik, who he wrote for at the time. He later became the editor of Autotrader Oversteer, where he continued to write articles until 2020. His YouTube channel quickly rose to fame due to the comedic nature of his videos, where he explores a car's 'quirks and features' and he later on expanded to do car reviews on his channel. He is well known for his unique way of measuring how good a car is based on multiple factors, called the DougScore. 
==Personal Life==
Originally from Denver, Colorado, Doug moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to study at Emory University, where he earned a degree in Economics. He later worked at Porsche Cars North America, where he quickly rose up the ranks to become the youngest manager in the company's history. During his time at Porsche, he began to write articles for various outlets such as Autotrader and The Truth About Cars in his spare time. In 2012, he quit his job at Porsche to pursue writing full time and began writing for Jalopnik. He created a series where he would review cars to own for a day at a time, usually voted for by the readers, which later became known as the DougScore.

Doug's 2006 Land Rover Range Rover, renowned for its unreliability, was documented in a series where he went over every repair that was paid for by the CarMax bumper to bumper warranty on it. The $1,500 warranty paid out a total of $13,000 over the 6-year warranty period. DeMuro ultimately "retired" the Range Rover to Nantucket Island, Massachusetts to be looked after by Mason of Range Rover of Nantucket.

==More Doug DeMuro==
On August 2, 2018, Doug created a second channel named More Doug DeMuro. On this channel, he usually uploaded videos relating to his personal life, opinions on cars, and various other types of videos. He has since stopped uploading videos on this channel, because he discovered those videos get more views on his main channel. As a result, many viewers jokingly created comments asking if Doug forgot his password to the 2nd channel. In June 2023, More Doug and Cars and Bids were merged
==Cars & Bids ==
In May 2020, Doug launched Cars & Bids, which is an online-only car auction website for cars dating from 1981 to present day.THIS... Is Why Cars & Bids Is Just For Cars From 1981 And Up! The website was first conceived in 2019. Since then, Doug has filmed many cars which have been listed for sale on that website.
==Quotes==
*"THIIIISSSSSSS... is a (car model)." (his intro)
*"Doug is the type of guy to..." (a running gag on his channel's comment section)
*”Before I get started, big news: this (car model) is currently for sale, and it’s being auctioned live…on Cars & Bids!”
*"Alright, time for the quirks and features of the (car model), starting with the...”
*”Anyways, now it’s time to give the (car model) a Doug Score.”
*“Then you have Platinum Reserve, which frankly sounds like the kind of airline status where they call you up and you think you’re special and you run up to board, and then it turns out that 85 percent of the other schmucks in the boarding area are also Platinum Reserve and you end up having to sit next to a guy from Tempe who smells like feet.”
*"This isn't even the best part of this first aid kit though; the best part is that it comes with PILLS!" (laughing hysterically the GAZ 24-10's first aid kit)
*”This Mercedes GLC that appears to have been crushed by a meteor.”
*"But anyway, on to the real driving fun of this car, and I’m gonna start with what everybody wants to do…OH, OH, OH MY GOD!" (Doug flooring a Tesla Model S Plaid)
*"Why make three buttons?" (Here's Why Old SUVs are Shooting Up In Value)

*“Don’t stick your arm in there, it will be cut off” (Review on Tesla Cybertruck)
