I decided to start 2023 off strong with this refurbished thunderbolt in Glenview. It was pretty loud and it rumbled my chest when the horn pointed in my direction. Unfortunately the chopper motor sounds like it will need some attention soon since the pitch drops noticeably throughout the test. I should also mention that I got completely DRENCHED due to the rain. At some points in the video you can hear raindrops hitting the camera, and at the end you can see how my lens got all wet (which was annoying to clean). I won't complain though, I'm satisfied with the video and overall this was a fun test!
Thanks for watching!
