To take your order for a 918 Spyder when he worked for Porsche, but not get to actually drive one until it’d been out for two years.

I though he did marketing, not sales?

He says in the video the dealers put orders through him and he allocated them from Germany.... its marketing in a sense.

Then he’ll put up his full column at autotrader dot com slash oversteer where he put in all the weird quirks and cool features and all the used 918s around

Imagine a car company accountant calling you six years later to drive your cars.

I seriously do not get the hate for this guy. He might not be the most knowledgeable car guy in the world, but after all there’s only one of those by definition. He clearly enjoys cars, so good for him that he turned it into a presumably well-paying gig.

Oh, and what company is going to let some 20-something kid drive their $1m supercar that is specially ordered for specific customers?

Why do you have such a hard on for this guy? He posts car reviews that are mildly entertaining and then promotes his place of employment. You’re aware that you don’t have to watch them, right?

Nope, not even 30. Although I don’t believe everything on the internet, the below information is consistent with him graduating from Emory in 2010 (I know someone who was in his graduating class).
