      I could not agree more with Tom. The editing and production of this video are outstanding. This has to be one of the best videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. It shows you have arrived as a vlogger.

    I want to say you've put an "infinite" amount of work into this project, maybe an "overwhelming" amount is better phrasing. Anyway, you have done an incredible job and your knowledge, passion, and sheer talent were all demonstrated in this difficult project. Whoever wins this car will get a gem...something incomparable at this time.

      Let’s add that during these 3 years you also rebuilt a go-kart, completely re-wired and did major upgrades to Mr. Dos, did a lot of upgrades to Forester Gump, worked on building your Ford Focus rally car, drove your Gram’s Ford Ranger all the way from NH to AZ and started on a major restoration of it’s drivetrain, flew here, there and everywhere to do car reviews, see your friend Liz and fix things on her car and countless other things.
      You also took time to commune with nature (“talking” to the birds in the abandoned warehouse while you were trying to film car reviews) shooting video of pretty flowers, trees and scenery and recently helping an injured bee and giving a tiny kangaroo field mouse some food and water.
      For all these things and thousands more, in my book, you have earned the title WONDER WOMAN

This is clearly a better outcome for this car then could have ever been conceived before it got into your hands.

    Sarah I hope whoever wins this car truly appreciates the amount of work you have put into it and just doesn't go out and rod the shit out of it. With how low the sales of this car were and the not so long of a production run it is something that needs to be cared for. This car was truly a labor of love. Just your labor alone let alone the cost of all the parts far exceeds what it could be sold for today. I remember when the TT first came out so many years ago and thinking it was the ugliest car ever produced. I now have a new level of respect for what it is. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us.

    It occurs to me that I don’t recall the acquisition of the car, so I hadn’t discovered your channel until you were well along in the before-times of working on it. So thanks for editing up the timeline video, it does show just how huge an undertaking it was, and how truly impressive your determination and abilities are.
