Default Rob Ferretti driving my LS

national academy of sports medicine payed him to mention them so that's why he talks about personal trainers out of nowhere


for anyone not familiar he runs Gotham Dream Cars and has produced the super speeders DVD series, i got to intern for him along with another intern and he drove each of our cars for two separate videos. personally i think he took somewhat of a wrong approach to this but decide for yourselves

I like Rob's humor. Sometime's he can be direct but I like that. Good video! What do you guys use to edit your videos with?

I saw this video the other day when it popped up in my subscription box. I'm generally a fan of his videos, but being a Lexus fanboy, this video ticked me off a little bit. But knowing him through his past videos & lifestyle, I'm not surprised with his attitude.

Must have been cool interning for him though!

A little humility will go a long way for Rob ..... I know he drives expensive cars and stuff, but did not acknowledge the LS for what it is.

well you heard him call it "a toyota with a badge" that's pretty much the regard he holds it in. were it an ES then yea that's literally what it is but the LS doesn't share any toyota platform, unless you count the celsior but i mean whatever

he basically criticized it for not handling like a sports car and having an auto transmission which seems a bit unfair honestly

I find his lack of appreciation for the LS Disturbing.
