why did it feel like this 😭 #toyota #estima #rhd #jdm #lucid
Turning the key is merely the beginning. In Lucid Car Photography's latest Toyota Estima sketch, adjusting the climate controls and reaching for a ceiling switch become preparations for a spaceship launch. Pulling the column shifter into drive supplies the jump to hyperspace.
The silent Short, titled "why did it feel like this 😭 #toyota #estima #rhd #jdm #lucid", captures the outsized importance of driving alone for the first time. It was the most watched of the channel's four uploads this week, reaching about 82,000 views. Viewers are recalling their first trips after passing their tests, the freedom a license brought in rural areas and the surprising cockpit-like feeling of familiar controls. A few also single out the van's curtains.
The Corvette supplied two more uploads, "can never be too safe #c7 #corvette #procharged #cammed #lucid" and "not the flex capacitor 😢 #c7 #corvette #procharged #cammed #lucid". The latter is already among the channel's busiest videos right now, close to the daily viewing of the month-old "what is the point😭 #c7 #procharged #cammed #carguys #lucid", which has accumulated more than eight million views.
Across the channel, daily viewing is running at less than half its usual level, while subscribers held steady over the week. Even with that slower rhythm, Lucid Car Photography drew the largest weekly view gain among the nearby motoring channels here. Not Economically Viable and Halfass Kustoms are closer to their usual daily viewing, while Lucid's own mix this week ranges from Corvette jokes to a minivan ready for imaginary interstellar travel.

A decade later and I still get the feeling sometimes.
@clinton7501See it on YouTubeWhen you love cars from a young age, it feels like forever until you're allowed to start driving, i remember my first drive after my i passed my test, made all that waiting worth it instantly.
@Tea-oc3ghSee it on YouTubeOh man you got me here. I was looking at the controls and it looked eerily similar to my first car - a gold Toyota Previa.
