Sure, I could have - but, I didn't want to. That you are not a professional filmmaker didn't factor into it, at all. I didn't suggest that you were a professional filmmaker, so it is a defense where no charge was lodged. In essence, a defense against nothing.
I've looked at your project more than once. I often do, with projects posted about here. I just don't always bother to comment.

I want to know how I can make the whole thing better. Aside from the small part of one aspect of the presentation that you have made quite clear you don't like, what do you think of the rest?
I think that the feedback that I provided was constructive feedback. Now, whether you - the project creator - chose to act on that feedback or not is separate question, altogether.
You look for constructive feedback. I look for people willing to act on feedback.
As to the rest of your new video, which I viewed in totality, this morning, I think that it is a visual hodgepodge with instances of poor video quality and a patchwork feel to it. I think that your choice of going for a voice over approach, rather than inject yourself into the video in video form - where your human depiction is on the screen doing the actual talking, is substantially less persuasive than it might otherwise potentially be. I think that you need to strike a better balance of audio versus video, in the actual video.
I think that your strongest potential selling point is the Route 66 idea. I think that vastly more people will connect with Route 66 than will ever connect with the John's Old Truck moniker. I think that your insistence on sticking with that moniker will effectively cut your project off at the knees.
But, it's your project to handicap, as you see fit.
