    One minute you're a kid playing as this guy in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, next minute you're in your 30s and the algorithm is recommending you watch him build a car. Rad 😎

    I just finished the entire series and I have to say…
    1. Netflix should pick this up! It’s arguably one of the best car shows I’ve ever seen!
    2. Buck’s fab skills are indeed impressive. Not everyone can do that.
    3. You can tell Bucky isn’t just a hotshot driver that Subaru brought in. He’s a true fan of the sport and the industry.
    4. My favorite part was the tortoises.
