Could be many things. Money, personal bias, incompetence.
A journalist he definitely is not.


I have a lot of respect for what Ford and GM have achieved with their performance cars; I run into them on track every time. Mopar though, leaves me completely cold. The epitome of lazy engineering.

And as someone who is black as well, GTFO here with you're race baiting bullshit. From what I see of the previous posts has literally nothing to do with his race and almost everything to do with the fact that he is not a journalist and not even trying to be objective. Go look at some of the other threads with these influencer types that are white, they equally get shit on if not worse.

I am happy a brother is doing well and making bank from YouTube, and for that reason I may watch a video or two of his, but let's not distract from the fact that a lot of his videos are unobjective clickbait bull and not any actual sense of automotive journalism.

Are you a sockpuppet for him?
Part of your criticism is fair. He may not be a traditional journalist. My point is, he’s no different than people like Joe Achilles..etc. who actually gets and makes their living by given cars from BMW to drive to make their videos. There’s no different. He just doesn’t get the cars from them. The transitional nature of journalism has gone out of the window as do things change with the times.
100% agree. If an Achilles comparison video was posted on say a Mercedes forum, I would fully expect them to shit on him as being an unobjective fanboy. Because, well, he is and is not a journalist. Just like, as an inverse example, I think Mod would be praised on the hellcat forum like Achilles is praised here.

He's def a Mopar fan but I've seen him give respect to other brands.
Not a hater in my eye but makes excuses... for example when a M6 ate his hellcat for lunch

Such disrespect. He's actually a journalist with more YouTube subscribers that Joe Achilles and other BMW FanBoys. Most importantly, he's a journalist. So maybe you should check your unconscious biases at the door. I'm hard pressed to find another negative post you've given to other non black journalist???
Bro your bugging... don't do the race thing right now you reaching PLEASE i beg you!

All in all steff is a good guy we have plenty of mutual friends, he does seem to be a litttle bias toward bimmers but imo you can't force a man to like you or give you respect sometimes you gotta take that shi*..

With that said it would be nice to see a couple High HP M's sit in the next lane and take him out... that content would be dope.

Stef is a good friend and has actually reviewed my own car which got way more views than I was expecting (30K for a strange 550i GT ). He was a big fan of it in the end too. His Mopar love is real but in reality I know he respects all brands, the "hate" is really only just a joke to keep up with the fanboy brand image.

Remember, everyone over-exaggerates a little for YouTube, because humans love a bit of drama. Hence why so many of those "social experiments" go *viral*

Journalist? Is that some kind of a joke? There are no more journalists, just people giving their opinions on every single thing that is going on.

That actually sounds like the perfect reason to hate.

Oh wow. This might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen posted to a car forum. Congratulations?

I've bought my last two m3's based off handling and how the car feels in your hands and under your feet, I can assure you I am not coming back to another BMW.. There are many other cheaper, significantly better handling cars than the current and future ///M lineup will provide.

Man gtfo heee with that stuff. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with cars and this post specifically. Stop copy and pasting stuff and stfu. If you don't like what i have to say then just keep scrolling. And for the record, you know nothing about other comments I've left. Sorry ass bruh it's because of people like you that our country is in the situation that it's at now. Once again, don't bring race into this it has nothing to do with it. Mod is a liar and a bmw hater. That's not black or white. If you're a liar you're a liar doesn't matter the color of your skin.
