    The possibly grim future of "Just Half A Test"

    Hey guys,

    As some of you know, I'm moving away from my current location

    As fun as moving is, this presents an issue with the future of the "just half a test" video series.

    I will no longer have access to my gfs car (black nissan altima) and my car is unsuitable for the test because I have vinyl stripes and hood vents in the little paint left.

    So that leaves me with two questions:

    1) Should I continue even though I no longer have the same test car?

    2) If yes to the above question, what if the car changes ie for one episode it's a certain car and then for the next episode it's a different car?

    Me personally, in the interest of keeping everything fair, I don't think it would be right to continue.

    What do you think?

    You keep buying stuff to do the videos. Seems like the one accessory you need is either another car, or more paint on yours

    Seriously, you are testing products, not cars. If you find cars to use for the videos, and you're still enjoying doing the videos, why not continue?

    This is my plan (anyone is free to use it btw)

    I am planning on buying a cosmetically neglected car and detailing the heck out of it. Then just give it away (for the most part, if I bought it or $1,500. I'd sell it for cost of materials plus the $1,500)

    Solely for educational purposes.

    This is long in the future and most likely won't video tape it.

    This would be a great thing for you to attempt Roshan. (But when buying a used car, one always has to be cautious)

    Your videos are always great and whether you do or don't continue making them.

    Thank You for them

    ^ so he should buy a car to do review, then give it away? Positive use of money indeed!


    Roshan, I think any contributions you can make are appreciated. Video or not, it's nice having your valued input so whatever the outcome it's your presence that is what matters to most!
    Back to the full-time grind.

    Hi Roshan...

    Why discontinue?

    -Won't the GF ever be visiting you while you're away to College?

    -Don't you believe that there surely will be other black Nissan Altimas on/off Campus?

    -Being that you'll be the: "New Detailing Sheriff in Town":
    Why not exhibit your good community-citizenship by taking leadership in perhaps forming a new:
    interesting-gendership friendship, (whose ownership of their black Nissan-Altima-Mothership), may lead to courtship.
    However...
    If your GF would decide to take an airship to pay an unexpected visitation-trip...
    Plan on meeting her at the landing-strip to assure that if she would have a firm handgrip on a horse-whip
    that you, in turn, will have adequate evidence of your Saintship.
    No sense having to endure a hardship---Contact your Deanship for further "details".

    Just a couple of well-intended thoughts that I wanted to share. (???)

    Your AGO Forum Friend,

    When you make friends at your new college, I'm sure one of them would let you use their car.

    Education in the long run is something that you should not put a price on.

    Plus why keep on working on his sweet Camaro?

    Re: The possibly grim future of "Just Half A Test"

    I am dropping detailing as a business, so I won't have any client cars to be testing.

    However, maybe I can make a friend who would let me use their car in exchange for maybe a quick rinseless?

    I think maybe that could work, but idk if it will be an altima anymore. Guess not everything can be the same.

    Thank you guys for the support, hopefully all will work out!
