If you're anything like me, if you're car shopping for a vehicle, by the time you get to the dealership you know way more about that car than the salesperson. And that's kind of how I feel watching his videos...

I watched his review yesterday and thought it was the most unfair and biased review I have ever seen. It reminds me of a guy that was dumped by his girlfriend and is now telling people they are still friends. His C6 ZR1 review is just as bad.

He brings that view of someone who likes cars but does not pretend to be the pinnacle of expertise. It therefore adds a realism to a review of a car from someone who comes to the vehicle with "fresh" eyes and sees cars from a larger perspective.

Therefore he misses stuff, makes mistakes but he also does not put cars on pedestals and brings a fun POV which will get under the skin of those who DO put their cars on pedestals. Douche? Nah.
