I was referring also to many other video reviews of cars by this guy and others. This particular video was just the straw that broke my camel's back, so to speak. I remember couple of months ago there was a link posted here of a video of some German magazine guy "testing" a Carrera GT on some road. He was slipping and sliding all over the place -- of course, while speaking to a camera, driving with one hand, and not wearing a helmet, as any self-respecting "cool" and "skilled" driver would. The consesus opinions usually is that it was "cool" and that he was very good. For some reason, by consensus, that's considered to be a characteristic of skilled driving. I just find it amazing how sticky that myth -- perpetuated by magazines and movies -- really is with the public in general.
