The Rise and Fall of Vehicle Virgins

In today’s video, we will be telling you about the dramatic life story of the channel
Vehicle Virgins.

From rags to riches and back to rags, this channel has had a rollercoaster of a life.

How did the channel get so famous? Why is it facing a downfall right now? And despite
the tough times, what is vehicle virgins’ net worth? If you want to know the answer to all
these questions, stay tuned till the end to find out!

Vehicle Virgins is the brainchild of Parker Nirenstein. Currently, the 27 year old is
running the entire channel by himself, and is mostly responsible for all the big
successes that it has gained.

Parker is a celebrity who has turned his passion for automobiles into a career; he uses
his social media platform to promote his knowledge of automobiles and to review them
for first-time car buyers.

He was born in Palo Alto, California, on June 24, 1994, to John Nirenstein and his wife
Michelle. Parker's father instilled in him a passion for cars, since he is a huge enthusiast
of four-wheelers. He spent his childhood in his hometown with his sister, Madison, who
is now an equestrian and a fitness instructor. He graduated from Redwood High School
and spent a year after matriculation at Tufts University in Massachusetts before
transferring to the University of Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in
engineering in 2016.

Because of his extensive knowledge and passion for cars, Parker has gone viral on
several occasions in the past couple of years, and has gathered millions of views from
his entertaining content.

So, what are some of his most viewed videos? Let us check out.

In September 2017, Parker played a hilarious prank on the general public by picking up
Uber customers in his Green Lamborghini Huracan. He had registered his Mercedes on
the app because two-door cars are not allowed to be used for public transport, but
instead, he took his Lamborghini out to pick up riders.

Each and every one of his customers was utterly shocked when they saw the car that
actually pulled up instead of the car that they were expecting. Over a course of 4 years,
that video has become his most popular video, gaining over 28 Million views on
YouTube.

Another time, he was driving his Lamborghini on the road when he caught a street
dweller ripping off the wrap on his car. The security camera on his car captured footage
of that incident, and Parker posted it online and it gained over 10 Million views. Surely,
so many views must have gotten him enough money to re-wrap the car.

Several other videos of him picking up Uber customers in a supercar and his car
reviews have helped him gain millions of views, and today, his channel stands at a total
of 626 Million views with a total of 2.22 Million subscribers.

Every month he is gaining over 2 Million views, and is currently focusing on his car
collection, reviews and tips and tricks to help supercar owners.

But first, let us rewind a bit to see how he rose to prominence in the first place.

During his college years, he began a blog where he posted written reviews of cars,
particularly Toyota and Ford, for which he completed an internship. He became
increasingly clear as he grew older that reviewing cars was what he wanted to do with
his life. Eventually, he opened Vehicle Virgins in May 2013, and had partnered up with
his mate Eddie, who helped him grow the channel, before he was eventually sacked by
Parker for apparently wanting a higher stake in the channel's profits.

As he started to gain a couple thousand subscribers, he started to review cars from the
more mediocre brands such as Toyota, Honda, and Kia before moving to the more high-
end brands such as Porsche, Lexus and Range Rover when he started to gain more
popularity.

Parker quickly crossed one million subscribers, and he began incorporating new ideas
into his channel, such as giving his viewers advice on buying a used car, then teaching
them how to drive a car with a manual transmission, and other topics that drew more
and more viewers to his channel.

These statistics have helped him achieve a whopping net worth that may be shocking to
many of us. But before we tell you what sort of an Empire Parker is sitting on, we would
like to thank you for making it till this part of the video. Make sure to extend your support

It's no secret that with such good numbers, Parker's net worth has to be in millions.
Multiple sources have suggested that Parker's net worth lies in the $2-$2.5 Million
range, while some have even suggested that if we take into account his cars, estates
and personal property, his net worth could be around a massive $10 Million as well!

To better help you understand why his cars are so expensive, here is a list of all the
cars that Parker owns.

He purchased his first car in 2006. It was a BMW Series 3. However, as time passed,
he upgraded his cars and further went on to purchase a BMW M5, a Mercedes S Class,
and his ever famous Lamborghini Holden Huracan. Collectively, these cars are worth
more than $2 Million!

So, it would be fair to assume that a man with such a stable career would continue to
have one right? Well, the answer may surprise some of yall when we say that Parker's
channel has not been doing the best for the past couple of months. His view count has
been low, his subscriber growth rate has been declining slowly and he has been
received a lot of dislike from viewers across the globe for his behavior and actions over
the last couple years.

It all started when Parker decided to remove his friend Eddie from the business and
take over the entire company himself. Eddie and Parker would have a really fun way of
reviewing cars, where one of them would be driving and the other one would sit at the
back and give their reviews of the car. The audience seemed to love these reviews, but
of course, they could not be done with Eddie missing from the picture.

It was rumored that Parker told Eddie, “I have more than enough free time now that we
have graduated, and I do not need you anymore.”

At the time, Eddie and Parker did not have a 50-50 share of the profits, and Parker was
reportedly keeping a major share of the profits. When Eddie asked for a higher pay
cheque, Parker ended up sacking him and apparently even threatened to sue him,
making Eddie risk his entire future. This, Eddie had to leave the channel with his head
low, and now successfully runs his own channel EddieX, which has over 100,000
subscribers.

He later on started collaborating with other YouTubers such as Rob Dahm and
DailyDrivenExotics. However, Parker is said to have bad ties with them as well. There
was a controversy where Dahm claimed that Parker broke the hood of his RX7 and was
refusing to pay him back. Parker denied any sorts of claims suggesting that he was the
one who broke the hood, and eventually sorted it out privately with Rob. As far as
Damon Fryer, or as we better know him, DailyDrivenExotics is concerned, there is not
really much information other than a Snapchat from Parker holding a gun with the text
saying, “Hey Damon / my top 5 best friend who leaked my families numbers and
addresses and are scared for their lives, come over.” Now of course, there is no actual
proof that Damon actually leaked these details, but there is proof of a threat from
Parker’s end, which frankly did scare a lot of people out there.

Other than that, he has also had some drama with a famous editor called Buddy Wyrick.
Parker has claimed that Buddy owed him money, and even accused him of stealing his
camera equipment, trespassing his personal property and calling the cops on him.
Buddy, on the other hand has said that Parker was threatening his family and was
illegally setting foot in his mansion.

Lastly, when he moved to California and basically started flexing all the money that he
had, with famous influencers, and started focusing less on actually giving information
about cars, which was the primary reason why most people followed his channel, his
downfall became serious.

Currently, it seems as though he is trying to do some damage control, and is focusing

on making his channel the way it used to be. On an average, he is getting 20-30
thousand views on every upload, which is considerably lesser than the 200-300
thousand views that he used to get a couple of years ago. All we can do now is hope
that Parker gets back on his feet the way he used to, and regains the fanbase that he
once lost.
