This is one of the most epic commercials I have seen in a long time. Don't think Hyundai paid you enough.

[brandonchristian]

Really should show more on how TT trucks go through the desert so fast because of shocks. The #1 man at fox racing shocks has recently passed. Maybe do a video on him and his work throughout motor sports and even downhill mountain biking. Revolutionized the game with his knowledge

[brookemakesthings]

I had a base Kona for about a year. Actually really liked it. A deer decided I'd had it long enough.

[youngdreflaco]

donut explains things to us like babies but plays it off as a joke to save our ego. i love it

[macq]

Suspension tuning is real magic. It can "feel" great, taught, and drivable but actually increase tire wear and track times. There is a true balance between making it work well and feel right.

[umiperformance]

Thanks for having us on the show. The Catfish is on its way to becoming The Trackfish riding on UMI Performance Cornermax suspension. And it's fun knowing more behind the scenes secrets coming soon. We can't wait to see this weapon on track.

Great explainer Jerry! We love suspension! so underrated

[jasonbolin]

This has turned out to be one of my favorite episodes. As a teenager I had assumed being able to control my car and break better would help me go faster being as our chosen race course in high school was a lonely curvy State Road. 17 year old me is vindicated, man I miss that car.

[kangarutan]

Glad to see James and Jerry are still gonna be weird car guys when they get old. My condolences for Fran though. That's rough Pumph!

[damienwilliams]

RIP Fran 🙏

Definitely thought there was going to be a yo momma joke when Jeremiah was talking about bottoming out suspension.

[jaqueloon]

That “commercial” was hilarious! It’s literally one of the very few times I wanted to sit thru an entire ad. Good job Donut crew!!!

[kyleo]

The visual aids of these videos are what hold the world together, they help me understand it so much better

[natefisher]

Jerry- "hey james we need a B2B on suspension"
James- "yeah that sounds good"
Jerry- "we should put completely change out the suspension on my catfish, for educational purposes of course"
James- "yeah educational"
Jerry- "you didnt say no"

[nophobia]

I really want a longer version of this video showing the install process I love watching you guys work on cars and the camaraderie between you guys.

[migasaursus]

Ive been working on cars and trucks, semi trucks, for 15-20 yrs now im a double master tech ASE L1, L2, ASE A1 to A9, X1, customer service and maintenance Ase certifications, ive heard alot of ways to work on many things and never stop learning, yall make it funny and easygoing and informative. Great work yall

[nickbandy]

If hyundai doesn’t use that as a legitimate television commercial i will be disappointed

[omarspost]

Holy smokes. Hyundai sponsored u! Not a colab, not a product review/placement. A straight up sponsor by a car manufacturer. Big Congrats.
Ps. Your commercials are hands down the best on the internet.

[leonardleo]

This is honestly one of the best and most informative videos I've seen on Donut. Explaining complex stuff in an easy to understand format. I've been planning on a project Civic but mainly focusing on boosting power, now I'm definitely gonna look into suspension first.

[arcturus]

Jerry has easily become one of my favorite hosts 🤣 hope he stays on the show for a while

[Grifter]

Awesome video! As an owner of a 2001 Camaro SS I love seeing coverage of the platform. UMI is a great company with quality parts and customer service, I’ve been using their products for a while now.

I first learned how important suspension tuning is years ago when I got my motorcycle suspension tuned to my weight. It felt like 100lbs was removed from the bike.
