Default YouTube and the Crossfire

I was browsing YouTube for videos on the Crossfire and I found some interesting videos:

Like this review that claims to be "good overview of the crossfire":
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0B7miFy9Wfw

I'm freaking embarrassed for that guy.

Or this other one where a Towncar is claiming to race a Crossfire:

Read the comments...

Oy vey.

And I added with a video response, but I doubt he will approve it...

Maybe I should post a video of my driving by a McLaren SLR and say I owned it.

I don't think you'll even need an SRT-6 to outrun a towncar.

Sorry, I watched that and flashed on Muhammad Ali "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"... Some things just trip your mental triggers...

That guy reminds me of Jamie Kennedy's character in the movie Malibu's Most Wanted.

Well... At least the guy fessed-up and admitted his folly after my scathing response... Perhaps I have too much time on my hands...

Has anyone seen the Review by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson? It's on YouTube as well. It is a scathing review, he basically said he would rather light it on fire than drive it again. There was nothing good said about it at all. I believe he even likened the rear styling to Canine Vomit or Excrement. This was on the Limited Coupe 6-Speed by the way. I wonder what he would have to say about the SRT-6? The funny thing is, I bet you could do a little research and dig up a review of the SLK320, by him. Anyone want to take a bet that the Benz version got RAVE Reviews by Mr. Clarkson???

I generally find him to be very honest and funny about his test drives. I like him a lot. I have/had at least 100 of his reviews stored on my computer. I was so HEATED by this review that I started deleting them, until I got hold of myself.

Well, there's the whole 'hate american cars' thing with them, so it's really no surprise.

I would be curious to see his review of the CLK 320 or SLK 320...

That's true but Mr Clarkson does have a very American Ford GT, and an SLK 55. His comments are usually for entertainment value than anything else.

I realize that. I find him quite entertaining on most occasions. I suppose you look at it differently when he's berating my own. Kinda like calling my child retarded and ugly...

Well, I know where he lives.

I didn't know the reviewed the Crossfire, maybe I'll have a small talk with the man the next time I arrange to bump into him.
