Mine feels like a go-kart. Motorcycle is close. What do you wax it with?

Sorry, the owner of this car doesn't really use social media...

Probably the best First gen vid I've ever seen.

Thats awesome camera work and editing. Super impressive. Kinda a bit like a Petrolicious feature.

I am also biased due to the Sunrise red FB. That is a clean GSL-SE!

Beautiful car. Too bad the owner smokes in it.

That's the first thing that came to my mind, damaging a beautiful car!

Thanks! I recorded using 3 bootleg Gopros and everything is edited on my OnePlus 3T smartphone... It's very limited as you can see the shadows and lighting weren't very good...

Beautiful car, and lovingly shot. Bit longer than it might have needed to be, the shots started getting a bit repetitious nearer the end. Understanding the owner might have been a little reluctant, but if you have a fist-full of GoPros, its a shame not to mount them externally on the car while its on the road, with some different angles. Likewise the solitary interior driving shot. Maybe some missed opportunities to get some interesting angles. I am being picky, with apologies. I do this professionally so hope this is constructive. I will PM you a link of a vid I did that might offer some ideas. Really, this is a great story about a car AND its owner. Kudos. Thanks for posting it.
