[..YouTube..] Decent review. Very unfortunate voice. Sounded like listening to a teenage high school girl. Grates my ears!

[..YouTube..] @roadflytv Any chance you could get her on a track with, oh, say, a Bugatti Veyron and really push that car to its limits?

[..YouTube..] I knew idiots would attack this woman! I’m sure Roadfly gave her a heads up though. I loved the review and it didn’t hurt that she was a hot piece of ass! Sorry, hope that made up for some of the negativity. Albeit it was sincere.

[..YouTube..] Welcome! :p
roadflytv
[..YouTube..] @BloodyHawk39 We have some big plans! We hope to have Shannon doing some on track as well as off-road testing. She’s been racing since she was 5 so I know she knows how to push these rides to their limits.

[..YouTube..] Everytime you guys do a video I end up wanting a new car.
harrisoneatsairplane
[..YouTube..] @roadflytv Definitely can’t argue that! Just throwing in some constructive criticism on her first shot at video-reviewing, rather than just talking about her appearance!
I know I’ll enjoy seeing her push some press-cars into submission in the future!

[..YouTube..] I’m sorry Roadfly, I like your channel very much, I LOVE Emme (the way she presents, and her personality, that is), I like Jessi, I like Elizabeth Kreft, but I can’t like this one. She just doesn’t quite have what I like about your reviews. But I guess it’s her first time so I’ll wait and see.

Gmoneyluv4u
[..YouTube..] WOW THE MAZDA 3 IS ALMOST AS EXPENSIVE AS THE BASE MODEL NISSAN MAXIMA WHY NOT GET SOMETHING GRANDER FOR A LITTLE OVER TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND BUCKS!!!
FXSwissTrader
[..YouTube..] That was a very good review. Great job Shannon
BloodyHawk39
[..YouTube..] Shannon was amazing! More reviews from her please (especially with sporty cars).
roadflytv
[..YouTube..] @l2iya The only thing bad about the car is the lack of a trunk push button on the trunk. It’s a great little car that gets 40 MPG on the highway. What’s not to like.
