Welcome to the Internet people, this is 2016 and, as strange as it might sound to some, YouTubers drive McLaren 675LTs - Shmee150 has a 675LT Spider (he used to drive a coupe), while Mr JWW has been enjoying his fixed-roof Longtail for the past five months or so.
With his odo having now traveled past the 5,000-mile mark, the vlogger has now gone past the point where the supercar puts a dumb smile on one's face no matter what happens.

Sure, the guy still starts most of his 675 videos by screaming in excitement, as is the case here, but the man also takes the time to share the hidden drawbacks of the Woking machine with us.

Did we say hidden? Perfectly concealed inside a composite material vault would've probably been a better description, since the manner in which this Macca blurs the line between supercars and hypercars makes such downsides extremely difficult to notice.

Mr JWW lists five things he doesn't like (yep, he steered past the usual hate tag associated with such videos) about the speed demon. Some of these aspects won't surprised anybody, being among the oldest problems in the supercar book, while others may come as a shock, given the thing's $349,000 MSRP.

Regardless, we feel it's pretty easy to relate to the issues described here. For instance, the 675LT can partially be considered a response to the Ferrari 458 Speciale.

And when we put the Speciale through its paces (we also spun in the naturally aspirated God), we came across a number of problems that brought a radical conclusion - in our book, the "standard" 458 would make for a better overall experience.

Returning to the YouTuber's 675LT non-rant, the man admits that many of the problems could be overcome by going for a McLaren 570S. And this is how we end up reminding you about the 675 Longtail vs 570S comparison the man delivered earlier this year.
