He absolutely gushes about everything, hence why many find him annoying. Well that and the jealously part because he’s a young kid. But I don’t mind his videos... annoying at times sure, but his enthusiasm and passion feels real. Nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes the mute button is your friend. He has some nice scenic performance C8 driving video in this one.

My wife and I filled in a bucket list item when we drove it last summer in our C7. Couldn't make it to the summit due to the construction there, but made it up to mile 16. No time trial, but going up was a lot of fun. Took it slow coming down to keep the brakes nice and cool. Definitely took the "slow in, fast out" approach.

Have a good one,
Mike

Great Video. He genuinely enjoyed that day and was taken in by the C8’s total performance. I loved his enthusiasm for the car, its performance, the scenery and the experience he was blessed to add to his memory. My favorite shot was the drone over flight of the deer herd and the C-8 appearing on the road just as the drone flys over the herd. Give the guy some props for shooting a great video. He knows what he is doing. What a great way to make a living in America!

Thanks for the post Jeremy.
