[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16852121, member: 79484"] I think he looks at a lot of older cars with the mindset of modern expectations instead of with the perspective of the time they were made. I mean, in the 00R video he says it doesn't handle that well at all. I haven't driven a 00R and I'd be curious to hear from people who do own them, but I was led to believe by reviews made the time that for the era they were produced, they were quite the formidable track weapon all things considered. I don't really agree with this and do take some issue with some of his commentary, but it is what it is. if you go back to the fiesta ST review, he was 100% unaware motorcraft was Fords in house brand of parts, he kept pointing out this "motorcraft company" was all over the owners manual and was wondering how much this "motorcraft" paid ford to be featured in its literature. That one absolutely blew me away. As someone who has followed his content since he was a writer on jalopnik with a small following, I do think he hams it up for the camera a lot these days, I guess that is catering to his rabid zoomer fanbase. A lot of his viewership comes from people researching new cars which is why you can notice his new car videos always do better than old cars. The old cars he really does for himself. I think he can fall into a category with plenty of other youtube personalities that aren't terrible people in person but they really ham it up for the camera because that's what "the algorithm" and the average 15 second attention span of "modern audiences" requires.
