    Safe to say your skills as a mechanic and your electronics wizardry are clearly excellent and evident, but your skills as a video content creator, producer, soundtrack selector, and editor are next level amazing. If you ever wanted to move in a different direction, your talents would be in very high demand by other CZcamsrs. That you pull this off every 72-hours boggles my mind. Thank you! 👍👍👍

    Having had a 1965 Bug as my first car when I was in high school, I can testify that not only is it important they GO, but equally important that they STOP!
    I learned a lot about basic ICE functions with that car. I always said it was easy to work on - which was a good thing, because I was always working on that damn thing.
    Great series, congratulations to you and your team on the successful rebuild, and best of luck to the person who wins Ragnar!

    Ragnar is a relay race that started in Utah in 2004. I don't know if that was mentioned yet or not.
    "Ragnar was a king and hero of early 9th century Scandinavia. He was a conqueror, a wild man, a leader, fearless and free-spirited.*
    In much the same way, today’s Ragnarians fulfill their freedom to roam, to explore, to lead, - a free-spirited desire to get out there and experience an outdoor adventure with friends. They traverse beautiful scenery, conquer challenges, and celebrate as a team. They outfit themselves in crazy costumes, deck out their vans and tents and walk away with kick-ass medals, bragging rights and unforgettable stories of this epic adventure!"
    That's according to their website.
