I have never cranked a starter for a solid minute like that. It looked like a fun ride!

It started to move once the brakes came unstuck.

I loved the shots of him drifting the car, too bad he lost that tire.

Still it seems a shame to beat such a nice willing old girl to death

Sounded like a WW2 bomber from inside. I liked the way the chrome trim was tossed aside like that was way down on the list of issues.
Think I'll save the starting soundtrack as my ringtone.
