    Am I the only one who thinks Magnus Walker is a douche?

    I never really cared for him, but whatever. Then around 2 months ago I saw him on the Petrolicious Rally and he was driving extremely reckless and around a lot of very expensive cars. I bitched about it and nobody seemed to care much.

    Then today I read this...

    Well, now we know how Magnus Walker’s famed “277” Porsche 911 ended up with a crunched-in side during a visit to Minneapolis. A video from the Minneapolis Star Tribune shows how Walker lost control of the car and slid into that transport truck with a reporter from the newspaper riding shotgun.


    I cant be the only one who thinks he is a joke

    Eh, I don't know about 'douche' but yeah, his driving habits are questionable at best. As I said in the Porsche thread, I'm not surprised he crashed. He's too reckless on public roads.

      Yea I'm not surprised he crashed too. However to be fair anyone who's knows Porsche knows them old 911's can whip the ass end around in the blink of an eye and even the best drivers can always correct. But with the money that guy has. It will be fixed by the end of the month...

          I dont understand the hype around him. Its not like he's building singers. I mean I like his cars, just not revolutionary or anything.

              I'm in the same boat. I don't get the hype around this guy.

                      I love this, always thought he was the biggest douche and never really understood all the extreme blogger nutswinging, although admittedly his cars are kinda cool in a rich-hipster-with-good-taste sorta way. Now this shit, and that is specifically the word everyone is using.

                      Doosh.

                      I don't love that the car and apparently journalist lady got hurt though.

                          I used to think he was badass when I initially discovered his videos that introduced who he was, ect. But after reading about/watching more of him I've concluded he's just some car enthusiast with money. Sure, he earned it all himself and has fucking dreads. Cool, but not really.

                          He appears arrogant, and also has horrible grammar skills.

                            Yeah - he's kinda douchey (I mean - he made his money douchesnozzle clothes, iirc), but I have to admit that when it comes to 911s he has pretty damn good taste.

                              Seems like a lot of this dislike just came out of the woodwork. Or people were just waiting and looking for an avenue to display these feelings. idk.
