thstone - excellent job taking high road, again.
You're fortunate losing Yoav Gilad as a 'friend' and luckier doing so at virtually $0 expense as most of us learned similar lessons harder and at greater expense.
A good friend of mine still occasionally ribs me for not informing him when one of my Porsches was for sale years ago... and thus we're still friends.
Yoav Gilad's suspect "journalism" credentials shine relative to his "car guy" ones. "Car Buying" article linked by Jake above does excellent job dissecting Yoav's inner hormonal teenage girl whiny-ness. Also came across a self-penned article by Yoav from 2013:

Couple exemplary points why the world would be better served if Yoav Gilad continued playing with Barbies instead of cars:
- doing donuts on golf course at Amelia Island - nice job jack@ss giving real car guys a bad name
- continues to drive and push hard a vehicle which knowingly is not running smoothly -
dumbs#it to the Nth degree
- doesn't know how to check or change points - AYFKM? Surprised he knows how to fill w/ gas
Again Tom, great job keeping it classy unlike the putz, Yoav Gilad. Be glad you're no longer associated.
