In the first video?

  1. Overstated horsepower (It's a 4-port auto).
  2. Condensation in the taillights.
  3. TPMS is showing a failure.
  4. The driver is a dick for taking off with snow still on the car.

Yes, in the first video Jeff.
You got them all except I think I would modify number 4 and say that he was taking it too high in the RPM's before it was really warmed up. Even though it was at idle awhile, you can see briefly get a shot of the temp gauge later on in the video after he's been high rev'ing(to some degree), and he's still not all the way up to temp.
