Reader's pick: the worst car review ever?

Mo, an Autoblog reader, sent this to us to illustrate how NOT to write our next review… among the beefs were the reviewer's use of the following phrases:

 - "The Corvette Z06's 7-liter 505-horsepower engine sounds like lots of small things exploding."
 - "the sound gets louder until there's an Alaskan brown bear riding shotgun"
 - "The car feels like it can't quite handle what it's got and it needs your help, please, to hold it back a little. It's largely an illusion of course. The Z06 takes care of itself just fine."

We here at Autoblog don't like to throw stones (and besides, it's not *that* bad), but we did get a kick out of all the colorful metaphors. Have a read — in our opinion, you can't hear about the Z06 too often.
