I already didn't like JPM after he nearly ran over my foot with a golf kart in the pits at Daytona, but after reading what he thinks of Porsches, now I know for sure he's a goof.

I don't recall any Porsche not turning when I turn the wheel. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Pretty sure I'm not but hey, he's a pro.

Try reading the article in his voice. Not sure why, but the cadence makes him really come off like a jerk. Especially the bit about flat bedding the cabrio.
