New to Youtube, please check it out

Hello, I have been on this forum for what seems like forever, and have started to try and be more social on other platforms. I've been making videos since I was a skater in the late 90's but lately have tried to make more polished and interesting things to share.

I am now launching a YouTube page and I would really appreciate it if the members here could help support. You don't need to watch it all, but if possible just help me spread the word and give me some feedback on what you all would be interested or any trends you notice in car culture around the world.

I will be going back to the US in just a few hours so my Camaro will be parked for the next 5 weeks, but I'll be traveling and attending a lot of events in the midwest over the summer, so it would be great to hear from you all with suggestions or any helpful advice! Thanks so much!

Good looking Camaro! I always liked silver and if done right with a good contrast of black or CF added to it really makes it pop! What's it like driving a Camaro in Beijing?

Will spread the word! If you come "up north" give me a shout and perhaps grab dinner or a beer!

Thanks for the complement! It was pretty wild driving the Camaro in Beijing at first, but now it just feels normal to me. There are a lot of tight corners and tricky spaces that make me be extra careful and go really slow, but otherwise every day I can't wait to hop in the car!

Thanks! One of these day we'll make it up. We are in Michigan right now, but there are a lot of things to take care of before we can start to relax! I always appreciate hearing from you!

Nicely done Jeph! Happy to be your first subscriber! That ride through Beijing was great!

I've been on YouTube for a while, mostly just posting motorcycle ride videos. I recently started posting how to videos for the camaro too. I'm on there as Indian_Mack.

Thank you so much! I was wondering who was crazy enough to be the first subscriber! I really appreciate your support and can't wait to see your videos too.

I used to ride motorcycles myself. However, once I bought the Camaro my Ducati just didn't seem as fun and I sold it a few years ago.

Also now that I am back in southern Michigan I will try to do some fun stuff state side if anyone is in the area and wants to meet up, just let me know.

Thank for everyone's support so far. I am making these videos just because I enjoy the process of filming, editing and I just love to share my experiences. Here is my newest, just 2 minutes and you can skip the 30 second theme song. Let me know what you think:

Thanks!

In part 2 of 3 I interview a few of the youngest and newest 5th gen Camaro owners to look at why they choose a Camaro and what their thoughts are on their new cars. Check it out here- https://youtu.be/ZHyfVOErY8U

Thank you all for your support!

Here is the final video of this series. We had a great day racing each other and most races were actually too close to call, even against the big V8 that went against me. Either my mods were working or I had a better technique.

By the way, does anyone have any suggestions on how I could improve my launch for next time? Or some other mods I could do to make the car even better. I had the suspension adjusted to be stiff in the rear and loose up front, I took out all the extra weight that wasn't bolted in like spare wheel and junk in the trunk, but that was about it.

If you have a 3 minutes to spare, I hope you can give the video a look and share you thoughts with me! Thanks!

Hey everyone, I worked really hard on editing this video, so even thought you probably won't learn anything, I hope its fun to watch!

It's just a few minutes of everyone I trust to work on my car installing some gas struts and a tiny lightbulb.
