    His Hilux durability tests were highly entertaining, even moreso than when top gear did them in my opinion.

    while I could somehow stand his mud/gravel antics (afterall it is a car, it is meant to be driven and give you fun). but riding over the ladders, gates, throwing stuff on the car etc. it is just vandalism.

    I think he’s funny, being wasteful for the sake of art or comedy isn’t a new thing either - on big budget films lots of stuff gets destroyed

    I think it's great! It showed that the car was fast, fun, not fragile, and didn't catch fire!!

    Even though this scene makes me cringe, I always took solace that it was a kit car...then I found this out. I'm not sure I could ever watch it again...just beyond disgusting. I wish I could go P&R on it...

    He's not doing it just for the sake of it or because he doesn't know the value of a dollar. It's a prop to be used in videos that he expects will generate revenues in excess of their production/distribution cost. What's the big deal? I don't know why anyone would watch said videos or get worked up over the prop. Just not my thing.

    I thought the 288 GTO was a Group B terror, but I was actually quite impressed with the off road capabilities of the F8, I have to say.

    Absolutely. While I know he gets a lot of flack from purists and brand loyal people, it's really interesting to see what different vehicles can take. The hilux tests he did were really fun to watch. I have a whole new respect for those vehicles.

    Just a stupid newrich kid who has never worked hard for money and doesn't know the value of such a car. I'm sure this idiot will get on the blacklist very fast and won't be able to order a brandnew Ferrari anymore!

    This video has 8M in 40 days views, so YouTube ad revenue alone is 120k-160k and climbing, add in any additional merchandise and the numbers keep going up. 2 more videos at similar view counts and it will be profitable. Way more entertaining than any sitcom or movie I've ever seen.

    Whistlindiesel has a new video. Should Ferrari of N. America do something (deny anyone selling this guy a car from sales and service from Ferrari etc.?). I don't know, but this is what happens when you mix Gen Z, money and ********* gery in my opinion. https://youtube.com/shorts/KfL-kAFyPgI?feature=share

    Silly question but why watch the video or post it here for more people to click on it and watch?? That only encourages the bad behavior. Best way for something to go away is to ignore it and not promote it. Just my .02

    At least the title makes it almost impossible to search, so there’s a plus……

    Cool video, his car and he can do what he wants with it. The fact he drives it is good enough for me
