Cool idea! If only I hadn't just ordered a license plate relocation kit from AliExpress for $17...

As far as the video goes, you've got to fix the focusing issues on your vlog portions. If that's your camera on AF, it's missing terribly and hitting the area behind you; maybe go MF, preset the focus, and keep the camera at a fixed distance from you. If you're going with a really wide aperture and shallow DOF (because garages are dark and bokeh is pretty), then you've got to be more aware of how thin the DOF is and at what distance that is from the camera.

Personally for videos I've done (not car related) either personally or for work things like training videos, I reshoot those scenes. Not to be mean but those obvious things make it look amateurish and bring down an otherwise interesting video. I like the overall grading and colouration of the video (reminds me of old film stock), but the out of focus section was just ugh.
