I'm still laughing at "spark hoses" for spark plug wires, and some of his other terminology, so no worries.

Notice the Roadkill Challenger in the background at the RR shop ? Methinks there's a tie-in of some sort.


I think they bought the Vanishing Paint Challenger from Freiburger or Ducich or MT, whomever it was that owned it.


Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck.

The VP Challenger makes an appearance on one of his latest videos where he fixes that blue camaro for one of his boys. They take the challenger and camaro out near the end.

He over does his act on the Motortrend show I think but I still enjoy it just not as much as the YouTube. Pretty smart feller already making lots of money off of YouTube then getting to do the same thing with someone else's money who then pays him more money.

He uses the name for dumping in the tune up in a can stuff but your meaning is more what we always saw it as too.

Yeah, I learned it in the late '70s from an Italian guy who worked on Ferraris & Lamborghinis...

Agreed. The show seems forced, his youtube channel seems more genuine and off the cuff. They can certainly be time consuming to watch though, he has no problems uploading feature length films. lol

someone should show up here and film me trying to accomplish anything.............. panic
it would probably be a great hit - showing what old guys fumble around attempting to get things done in a "timely" [usually measured in days instead of minutes. laugh2] manor.............

Longer video = more ads. 10 min video gets 3, so most drag them out to at least 10 mins. With the ones over an hour I truly think they hope you just walk away while its playing so all the ads fully play (they dont get paid when you skip them)
