It's hard to think of a subgenre of car that Mark doesn't have disdain for, besides Honda products.

RWD sports cars
Supercars
Some of the fast SUVs
Very well made luxury cars
Well engineered anything

Plenty of stuff I seen him like/appreciate

Just because he appreciates something doesn't mean he likes it. I feel like he brought in Jack solely because he was aware of his own negativity and needed something to counter that.

No, he thinks all Toyota EV's are dumpster fires compared to Hyundai's.

I have seen him praise a lot of stuff. But, the tide and media is turning on EVs, so I see how it poking fun of the EV.

If I had to pick between a Toyota EV and a H/K one I would pick the H/K

What is the big issue? I don’t really understand why there is such an objection

Me neither. If people don’t like him they don’t have to watch.

Some of their shows are good. But some I don’t care for. At least he made something entertaining and I’m happy to see some get offended. Otherwise I’d be bored

I saw the Hyundais at the auto show. Very nice, lots of features and very very expensive.

but…then I also have this in the back of my mind.

i likely wouldn’t want the Toyota either….but my money would on the Toyota to last 2X and be cheaper to repair.

I thought the backseat warning at 1:21 was epically funny!

I went back and watched some early Savagegeese vids. Mark didn't seem as jaded or cynical as he is now.

I miss Scott Turbowski. That guy would crap on everything lol.

I think its the old adage, even a job that you love or work that you love is still work, its still tiring and frustrating and it loses its luster at times.
