    I feel like this video took me back to the early days of UA-cam when you can just post a mix of pictures and videos and add the music YOU want not some monetization-friendly background noise! Simple 4 minutes and no expectation of getting thousands of views or money from it. Just documenting the journey and hoping a few like minded people find the video.
    Awesome job with the car also!!!
