This is exactly what made up my opinion on him. I never really heard much or paid too much attention to him before my encounters with him. He has some talent, but he needs to learn how to treat others before he can gain any respect from me for anything he can do, whether he's good at it or not.

I used to think of Travis P. like this before until I really got to know him and saw him in action (not just in a car, but how he conducts himself with fans and such). He gained all kinds of respect from me just from his actions, not his talent. There are plenty of others in the rally community that I would say the same about, so I'm not just jumping on the Pastrana bandwagon here. I could start listing, but half of you wouldn't know who they were and I would use up way too much bandwidth.
