Tried to listen to it but the style took its toll. I prefer facts with a few adjectives tossed in but the beginning song gave me a preview of what was to come--a sort of Dennis Miller take on cars laced with ill-formed metaphors.

Hope the rest of you enjoy.

Reviewers were trying to be comedians but failed.

The guy was more intent with trying to be cool than actually reviewing the car.

I enjoyed it. But I'm 30. The style of the review is probably too modern for most corvette drivers.

This reviewer sucked. Quit trying to be clever and talk about the car.

That was beyond awful and I only listened for a minute.

To the guy that owns the Green Corvette used at the beginning of the Video, take off that hideous Front Plate Holder...

I'm sure the owner of that car will take your childish criticism of his car about as seriously as you took the reviewer.

Take away all those cutesy, pseudo-hip, mangled analogies and you have about one minute max of technical specifics. "Weed goes here." Give me a break!That wasn't a review, it was the ranting of a self impressed, self absorbed moron.

Childish criticism? There are numerous Front License Plate Holder threads on this Board. I guess everyone here is childish too.

Do you use the same Front License Plate Holder that was on the Video?
If not, welcome to the Childish Club.

Seen vids from that dude before. They'd actually be kinda funny but I don't get the need to perv out in em. Clean it up a bit and the videos would be kinda cool. And no... I'm not some goodie goodie milk and cookies praise Jesus type of guy either.
