I am so for constressed right now.

0:03.0

I don't think I've really come to grips with this whole filming car videos thing quite yet

0:10.0

because all I can think about is all the ways that the footage I have is not enough and will never work and is all wrong

0:17.0

and the car goes back on Friday morning.

0:21.0

And this is roughly the same feeling I've had every time I've had a car video
