awesome video, i always love the stories behind the cars.

But "Ingrid, Fritz, Friedrich" isn't that a bit stereotype

[Smitty]

Absolutely fantastic! Production values, music, editing rhythm -- all on-point. Is this our generation's 57 Chevy?

Good stuff man.. VERY good stuff.

Keep up the great work and I very much appreciated!

Thank you!

No way! Believe it or not, I drew all of the names from actual Germans I have known (Ingrid being the cutest of course), though admittedly, Friedrich was a last name, not a first. I need to update my signature now that Friedrich is for sale and Fritz has moved on to another life as a drift racer (yes, seriously).

I would, however, feel weird about giving our Civic a traditional Japanese name, so maybe you have a point there.

I think if "Ingrid" wishes to move on, I have a home here for her in NJ!! My Frau (Evelyn....who is from Austria!) will fully understand!!

My wife and I will be traveling the country documenting stories such as this full-time next year. I would love to meet up with more 2002 owners and profile cars. If you are interested please get in touch with me. You can see all the details and contact info at my page http://depthofspeed.com

...is upside down.

That was a recurring joke in a movie from the same time period of our cars. (1972)

Musicologist: "You're upside down."

Howard: "Yes. I know."

My friend linked this video to my facebook this morning- and bam there's Sky.

Great video! Love seeing it shot on local streets as well.
