Interesting: apparently, I wasn't as put off by the video as a lot of you guys. In all fairness, a lot of his "gripes" are legitimate ones (let's be honest - the stock suspension is, in fact, shit. He's not wrong there, and I'm being a little harsher then he was.) He's talking about a 20 year old car that was owned by 8 people, and apparently "worked on" as the ABS was missing. His friend bought the car for $500 - put another $2000 in it on God knows what - but essentially ended up with a pretty stockish 96 for $2.5K. That's kind of really not bad, and where a lot of us start off. Some of his knowledge seems questionable (for example, I don't know about the 96, but the hood vents in my 95 are functional - meaning they are open and not closed off, and I didn't make them that way), but I don't really feel that he was actually ragging on the car.
I think the biggest complaint I have with the video is that he often talks about the issues as if they were there from the factory when it was new (and some of them were, i.e. suspension), rather than because the car is 20 years (20! O_O) old. So I think he's kind an idiot for not really making that too clear. But I sort of treated it as his review of his buddy's $500 96 SN95, which is kind of what I expected to hear about a 20 year old $500 SN95. Actually, it could have been a lot worse (hell, mine was when I got it). <shrug>
