Default Seen This?

This is really interesting, at least to me.


I, better than some, know better than to do something like this video on the most hated Corvettes. Just to produce such a opinionated review - not that there's anything wrong with that, of course - would have the reviewer strung up on the tallest yardarm in the British Fleet (whoops, poor analogy.. That was part of my Jaguar pitch)

But, after all, this is a forum isn't it and it's nice for once to be able to draw the attention away from myself and pin it on someone else.

I was starting to read some of the responses following the You Tube video and then became weary of the accusations of parental heritage and sexual orientation so figured, since Poodle Girl is late on his way over here with the Scotch, decided to post this to see what the local reaction might be.

I kinda' think I know where the narrator/producer is coming from, but why bother in the first place.

What are your thoughts?

Interesting.

My 1974 Camaro had 145 hp...but like the narrator admitted, it was the best they could do in that era, given the government restrictions clamped on those poor, choked-up, smogged engines.

I'm not sure I'd use the words, "Most-Hated". I think it's more reasonable to say, "Least Desirable" Corvettes. But then his little video may not have gotten as many clicks.
