You may not find a more finely sculpted video than the Regular Car Review of the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette C4.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

^^^ thats the point of the videos. They are user submissions, hence the name, "Regular Car Reviews".

Love all his videos. Anyone that hasn't seen them, should start with the Mazda Miata and Honda S2000.

I think Reg Car Reviews' videos are horrible. Doesn't matter what car they're reviewing...they're awful. They could be funny, but they're not. They could be factual, but they're not. They could be informative...but they're not. I hate 'em.

There's the old man hate I was looking for

Bad jokes aside, he does include a lot of facts in his videos. The majority of people on here probably already know the facts in this C4 video, but if you watch some of the ones for cars you aren't into and manage to just ignore the bad jokes, you might learn something.

You know what they say; All great art is controversial before it is accepted.

Can you define "old man hate"? I'd like to work some up, but I'm confused on how to do it.

I'm more bugged by "young man hubris" in thinking they know everything.

Hey, I think I just worked up some "old man hate" there!

The above review, to me, is just someone riding around in a crappy old car complaining about it.

Then you totally missed the nuance, and rather ironically, fell directly into the trap the author laid out.

I personally think Regular Car Reviews tries too hard to be actually funny, but it in the end it was a positive review for the car.

I'll have to re-watch it. I didn't take away from the video that he was complaining. He usually finds all the good points about cars, how and why they were designed and built for the era they were sold in, so a lot of times it gives you a better understanding of why an old car might look dated or silly compared to today's standards. There was a reason why a car was the way it was.

I think people that don't like his humor get too caught up in why they don't like his jokes and then just focus on not liking the video and miss all the positive points.
