The boys are back. Special thanks to Alex Moss of SuperK Adventures for letting us spend some time with his extremely lovely CR. Check him out on IG @AM150
Unfortunately, due to some circumstances with the shop space Automotive Aesthetic works out of, the shop is currently closed for business and looking for a new location in the Charlottesville, VA area. If you have any genuine options that might work, please email [e-mail].
Additionally, we are selling sticker packs with G&G and Automotive Aesthetic stickers to help raise funds for the guys while things are closed. If you would like to help out, visit this link: etsy.me/3aR4dBe

That moment the music works with him saying: "Don't ever sell it (looks back) Don't ever sell it" That hit hard. Enhances that scene so much.

[@quest8795]

Absolutely, yeah.

[@squigglylineman]

they always use the best music with their videos. the road trips, the car stories, the builds

[@6thstanza700]

Yea, i loved the video so much i wanted to watch it a second time! Then Daniel at the beginning said he didn't care much about Japanese cars - oof that took the wind out sails a bit. To each their own in this wonderful car culture we're in! That didn't deter me from watching it a second time though!

[@Arbyfig]

Its basically me, I lived in a country where cars are expensive and most cars are 10 years or newer because the cost of keeping an old car on the road is almost the same as getting a new car every 10 years. And I was having a rough day, going home, just walking, and I looked up, and saw this cute Miata with its pop ups, and it immediately cheered me up, and no car has made me feel that way just by looking at it, so.. this summer I plan on trying to work to buy a miata..

@@inagoodschmude9550 that and to call this S2K simply a "14 year old Honda" is obviously an over simplification to drive home the point.

[@gsjourney3054]

@@SharpTurnStudios I’ve honestly realized that uniqueness and not rarity but hard to see everyday makes the car your detailing 100x more interesting. Whenever I clean my friends 5 series wagon I’m like this is just a wagon lol but when I clean my coupe or my friends challenger it feels more special because people look even when it’s dirty so waxed up they drop their jaws
