It's funny how people are suddenly expert auto journalists who know the correct way to shoot a video review. A guy is entitled to his opinion. No matter how many ways you try to prove his opinion wrong, it's futile because you can only disprove facts (not opinions). If you already stated how your opinions disagree with his opinions about the car, why can't you leave it at that? Now we're debating over a guy's internet hyperbole and flair? Where's the point in that? Is it necessary to attack the person? I'm having a hard time figuring out what else you're all trying to prove. Please help me out here. This seems to be escalating into a pathetic circle jerk in which everyone is jockeying for some cred. Until you shoot a video response showing us your "correct" way to review, I say Dezoris has far more interwebz cred than you.

Now I understand why you can't tell the difference between contempt and sarcasm. Your reading comprehension skills are in desperate need of improvement. Since you're having so much difficulty, I will break my position down into smaller bullet points the way I do for my more "basic" clients.
- I have not disputed any claim or point in his video. Just its purpose.
- If you post something on a public forum, be prepared to defend it. Nobody can be expected to "respect" anything in a public forum.
- I merely pointed out posting a video such as this on an FRS fan site serves no purpose other than to incite people. He's done this before, and he's stated before that he is amused by the comments it generates.
- How long he spent on his video is not my or anyone else's problem.
- People get upset and rant on the internet about $1.99 apps all the time and you think someone wouldn't be upset after spending $25k?
- I never said he was out of line for being upset, in fact I wouldn't blame him.
- I have no interest in "cred", nor do I try to represent myself as an automotive authority. For example: Just because I am not a professional journalist does not mean that I can't (or shouldn't) call someone out who is trying to pass themselves off as one.
- Don't use the letter "z" in instead of an "s" in any word at any time when trying to make a point. It serves the same purpose as wearing your hat pointed sideways and only keeps people from taking you seriously.
- I'm glad you're cool with being the butt of my jokes, but, I am not joking with you.
That's all I'm going to say to you because I realize the futility in arguing with stupid. I wish you the best though.
