Social media is here to stay. And we all have those certain social media accounts that
we check in on daily to see the latest happenings in our beloved world of cars.With the pandemic, we saw an increase in social media users. According to datareportal.com, 190 million new users have
joined social media since this time last year. The global total using social media is now at 4.7 billion in 2022.
When we compare Tik Tok and Instagram, keep in mind we are not comparing apples
to apples. Both platforms offer completely different content, neither necessarily
trump the other. We enjoy our car influencers on both of these respectfully.
Our favorite Instagram car accounts are:
CarLifestyle ran by Gabe Florido. Gabe is one of the top car influencers and content creator. He continues to gain followers with each and every post.
Liakblock, daughter of the late Ken Block has really come into her own. Ken had a hand in helping cultivate Lia’s racing career. Follow her to see what adventures she is up to next.
Petrolicious. You cannot have a passion for cars and skip this page, Petrolicious
proclaims itself as “The home of car passion” and we believe them. Great variety of
content here.
Shmee150, aka Tim Burton. He loves filming footage for his viewers of his road trips,
car rallies, and love of luxury vehicles. With each video,Tim has mastered the art of
storytelling.
Donutmedia. No reference to the donuts you eat. Donutmedia is hosted by James
Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes, who bring comedy to their content. You have to check
these guys out.
thedenniscollins. Dennis has forever been known as the sidekick to TV personality,
Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey Garage, but Dennis is also the owner of Collins
Bros Jeep (which has its own instagram as well). Both have a great fan base in their
own right.
thegentlemanracer aka Michael Satterfield who lives and breathes cars. He recently
debuted a Laura Ashley Jeep Grand Wagoneer at SEMA. Warning, Mike’s passion for
cars is contagious!
@capturingthemachine shares stunning photos of all types of cars. Kevin McCauley is
the photographer who truly has an eye for ‘capturing the machine’ in all their glory.
TIK TOK
Obviously, some of our favorites on Instagram are of course on Tik Tok too, but
let’s try to share the love and mix it up a bit….. so, move over Instagram, here are
our Tik Tok favs:
@christinaroki. She is a young female car enthusiast who has 2.8 million followers. She
is a master car wrapper who has most recently been working on wrapping her sister’s
car as a surprise. How fun! She also shares plenty of life hacks to make working on a
car seem flawless.
@forrestsautoreviews Forrest can give a car review in a matter of minutes on his reels.
He’s quick, precise, super informative which explains why he has over 5 million
followers.
@chadmfive Chad’s videos are entertaining to watch as you will see cars transformed,
wrapped, and detailed as well as Q & A sessions. Chad will show you car hacks as well
as a tutorial on how to drive a manual transmission.
