In August 2024 I had plans to exhibit at the Vintage Computer Festival in Mountain View California. To do that, I had to get my 42 year old car to make the long trip down the coast from Canada. A trip most cars this age don't dare take anymore. I decided to do it anyways and hope it all held together.
In this video I'll talk about the car itself, a 1982 AMC Eagle station wagon, the condition it's in, the work I've performed beforehand and I'll be talking about all things imaginable on my way there and back.

As seen in the video, there was a forward-looking camera mounted inside the car running a time lapse of the entire to trip. To see that video in its full length look here - youtube.com/watch?v=-eFYvIYa85w
