Car TV shows are all terrible for this and YouTube is the only way. I personally enjoy Legit Street Cars and Speed Academy as 2 channels that seem to do their builds correctly and share a decent amount of knowledge and detail on the process. I watch several other channels more for entertainment value, but many of those I wouldn’t want to share the road with any of their sketchy builds.
It’s just an upsell. Most people under 40 can’t afford to buy an almost $70k car. If there were implied age limits, then the 3 series wouldn’t exist.
