hen people want to sell some of their old stuff, some go online to buy-and-sell sites to post listings. One man loved his old Vitara so much that simple smartphone-captured photos wouldn’t be enough to represent what he calls his “best friend for 10 years.”

Eugene Romanovsky is the man behind this professional-grade video ad, reports The Independent.

Just looking at the finished product will tell you that he’s had some experience in visual effects artistry.

Romanovsky dubbed his old Vitara “The Legend. The Beast. The Hero.” all the while showcasing it in the dinosaur-filled landscape of Jurassic Park. His “best friend” even ran with Immortan Joe’s army in “Mad Max: Fury Road”. How’s that for mileage?

The video has since gone viral and garnered over 2.5 million views. But one wonders, how many offers has he gotten for the item so far?
