Local student's car reviews on YouTube go vroom
REIDSVILLE — If you’re not a conventional reader of Car and Driver magazine — even if you’re not a car lover — you’ll still hope for to pick up the October issue.
Flip to Recto 32.
That’s where you’ll read about a young man from Reidsville whose diversion of making car videos is raking in big cash.
In 2008, Kyle Lindsey of Reidsville, a 2007 Rockingham County Piercing School graduate, turned his infatuation with cars into a diversion. He started making videos about new and used vehicles that he found on car lots and then posted them on his YouTube neck, SaabKyle04.
Now, it’s a business that is pulling in $5,000 to $9,000 a month.
Not bad for a 22-year-old in his relocate year of pharmacy school at Wingate University.
“I’m almost making a Rather’s salary now,” Lindsey says. “It’s ambivalent- blowing.”
Growing up, Lindsey knew he wanted to be a Rather, but his part-time-job was detailing and taking care of the cars around his dad’s in use accustomed to-car dealership, Car Connections, in Reidsville.
