The scene was short enough that you should have found music that fit for the whole thing, instead of cutting back and forth to random snippets of different songs for different shots.
I'm curious, where was that filmed? I ask because it looked like every suburb in America but you're car's wheel is on the other side. Is it just imported or are you in another country?
Hahaha Xaqaria thanks for reply 
Well, 2 weeks ago, i decided i should upload another video to youtube because the last time i uploaded one was like 3-4 years ago and that video made it quite decent, i reached like 140,000 views.
So being inspired, i was a complete novice/beginner, i decided to get my brothers camera and think of an action scene. I got also inspired by "Freddiew" on youtube.
I know the effects aren't very convincing and stuff, i pretty much edited it all in one week from scratch using a program called Adobe After Effects CS5.
I'm actually located in Australia, in the city of Melbourne XD.
Cars in Australia have the drivers side on the right (i know weird haha).
After doing the edits and observing other professional SFX scenes on youtube, I noticed that had i filmed with a tripod, the effects would have been much more realistic, since the camera kept moving from side to side (which i'm sure you would have noticed), i had to keyframe each and every individual frame, so hence the slight hovering!
LOL about the pristine car!! I showed my friends and they went LOL as well.
I tried my best to make it look like it got hit real bad, but the camera just keeps moving, and like I outlined earlier, when the camera moves, its far too hard for novices like me to keyframe it into position. Only if it was a still frame, as in the camera stays stationary, and people can move around in the frame, and then i could make it look tad more realistic.
Ohyea, and true about the shots in between, instead of the +3 second black, my brother mentioned that to me as well telling me that really frustrates the audience, and I did try to reduce it, but i should have made it like 0.1 second, or instantaneously as you mentioned!
Thanks for the feedback though dude!!
And as for music, I didn't have much to select from, but I did try my best, most of the music on youtube is blocked now caus of the copyright thingy.
But i'm glad its all over now lol, after 65 hours of editing and stuff over a duration of 1 week, my dreaming progression went down hill a bit and i got bit lazy 
So now i'm back to focusing on reality checks and recalling again XD!!
Infact, just this morning, i had a dream that my video hit 10,000 views on day one, i was over the roof haha. Until reality set in 
Again thanks for the reply Xaqaria
