Nice ride. I like the top of the sequence up until the sped up shot at about 8 seconds in. Looks like those old black and white keystone cop movies. Its a little corny. Rest of the video is pretty good for not having a narrative. I'd try and get more dynamic and diverse footage than just driving around the neighborhood and using speed ramps. Anyone can shoot cool looking shots and string them together with speed ramps and edit on the beats. Cool shots set to music is just an exercise in vanity. Cool shots set to music that tell a good story and get the audience to engage is an experience. Make your audience experience something. That way, it's not just you masturbating to you car, the audience get's something out of it as well.
For example, watch "C'etait un Rendezvous". It's a POV car film through Paris. Not only is the footage genuinely exciting, but there is an ending that buttons it up nicely. However, you don't have to make an adrenalin fueled video, you can use humor, wonder, awe etc. Those "///M Too Much" are a good example of short films that use humor effectively. Just make the audience feel something. I'm a professional tv and film editor, I literally think about and edit films 10 hrs a day.
