While I’ve long respected DeMuro as an automotive journalist, his recent purchase of a 2005 Ford GT made it clear he understands how to use his money to create great experiences for himself. In short, his recent purchase of a Ford GT exemplified the Weathered Wallet mentality and that is why I’m celebrating him as a genuinely exceptional car guy. To clarify though, this post is neither a review nor endorsement of Doug DeMuro’s articles or videos. Rather, it’s a nod to his unique and informed perspective about the costs of being a “car guy.”
