In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XovsTFj5MtM 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: This is ME driving a 1987 Dodge Aries LE, 2.2L, TBi, 5-speed manual, in a soaking wet midsummer Solo-II (autocross) event in Ottawa Canada. This video was recorded by my friend. (He shared the car's expenses with me. We had big plans for the car but they never came to pass). This is the K-car's only competitive event. My friend's brother is riding shotgun with me. This was my first (and only, so far) time competing in an autocross. It ended up being a fun run because the rain wrecked the timing system so the competitors were told to "just go have fun if you like, we're not keeping time"; so clobbering the pylon was no loss. The car was bone stock, no modifications at the time. I finally found the date: June 25th, 2000, approximately 11am.
