Hi Will , I hope you get to read this comment.

@neom0nk

One day I'd love to see a video where you just compare the things you've done at the price point levels, so this vs the other $20k stuff, the $10k stuff vs the $10k stuff and so on, that would be a super interesting watch.

@Mlynoph

The fact that there is just an expansive elevated track like that running through the desert is crazy. Their engineering is truly next level.

Anyone going on a vacation with his Dad must be supported and commended! Well done, Will! Waiting anxiously for your next video. As always, good work!
