Lost him when he began taking about potential. It just wasn't funny. I wanted a laugh.

I agree with all of the above. People who buy an S2000 don't have the delusion that they are going to compete with cars that have 300+ hp and a ton of torque. He talks about losing to a mustang in a straight line and on a curvy road. Wooohooo

don't care! I didn't buy the car to compete with anything. I bought the car because every time I get in it and go for a drive it puts a smile on my face in a way that no other car can.

I agree, and I hate to say it, but its something that's hard to appreciate unless you own the car. Everyone I have ever let drive my S2000s does not drive them nearly hard enough to see what they are about and if you ask me, Mr. Regular is drives way to easy on the cars he reviews. I mean, I understand that they belong to other people, but he really doesn't seem like he is that into driving...

I may be hanging out in the wrong circles, but the concept of the S2000's "potential" being central to the desire to own one is completely foreign to me.

If anything, that's the idea behind a Fox body Mustang or (funnily enough) an MX-5.

Well, there's 6 minutes of my life that I won't get back. I couldn't get past the first 30 seconds of his first S2000 review though. I've tried watching that one on 3 different occasions. I don't like the style and format of the reviews. I feel like the reviews are made to entertain people with learning disabilities - frantic and exciting to try to hold your attention. For me, that format comes off very grating, almost like nails on a chalk board.

Obviously these reviews aren't meant to be taken seriously. But even still, feel like he is missing the point.

Yeah, he is really phoning it in these days. Admittedly hating on good cars just to be contradictory? When he said the S2000 was supposed to have a "luxury" feel I knew he was losing it. Really, a car with no clock has a luxury feel. Definitely missing the point.

+1

These videos are pure entertainment value. I get a good laugh from most of them.

and that was cool, when they were entertaining, I think it was the Aston Martin video where he spend several minutes filming on the toilet where I started to lost interest in watching further reviews. I wouldn't have watched this one except it was about the s2000...
