Seems pretty good, on the tire pressure topic you could have pointed out that alot of auto makers recommend higher pressure for highway driving.
Seems like something that will come with time and getting used to being on camera, but I noticed you said "ummm" alot, having an outline of what you want to say, or notes on topic points can be helpful in keeping your head more organized when you want to be talking non stop..

Take some tips from the other Ben the Nelson one..you should have been a bit crisper, as youtube audience is pretty fickle.

But not bad at all for the first attempt, you know!

Good Video!

What was that vibration sound? Was it the camera rattling or the car?

70 MPG on the D.C. beltway! What time of the day was that? That thing is always backed up when I'm there.

I'm not sure what the sound was, the camera was just bouncing around in front of the cluster.

Ryland, good point. I didn't do any prep, I was just blabbing on.

I had no idea I was going on for so long though. Oh well,
