It depends on the tool, honestly. Ratchet set that is used daily? Best I can afford (and maybe more than I can afford). Bearing puller that I’ll use MAYBE twice? HF all day.

I’ve already got 3, but if I had to choose from some of those and make it four, I’d go:

That’s gonna be one HELL of a smug cloud.

I loved the first two trips. Watching those guys was such a blast. But no Apple TV+, so I guess I’ll either skip it or see if it comes out on the half dozen other streaming platforms. This is getting as bad as cable...

As a fellow North Carolinian, I agree with your above average rain observation. Feels like we’re living in the rain forest. But who could ask for better harsh weather conditions to truly test the Changli’s “quality” build?

My dad gave me his 1970's motorcycle years ago as part of a repayment for a tractor. The thing had been sitting in various sheds or backs of garages since the early 1980's. I always referred to it as “my dad’s bike”. Even after schlepping it 600 miles to a new job, it was still “my dad’s bike”.

I mirror your sentiments about Facebook. We could always go back to the pre-Facebook days (for those of us that remember) and just use the forums you mention at the beginning. For most of my projects, the vehicles are so old the most knowledgeable people don’t have Facebook but do manage to stumble through forum pages.…

Pretty much. And that movie was one of the several that inspired me to become an engineer.

Funny enough, I’ve gravitated toward a modified UNI filter as well.

Look, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from working on more obsolete vehicle brands and models, is that you take what you can get when it comes to finding replacement parts. $13 is absolutely worth the test to see if it works. If it fits, it’ll be waaaayyy better than what you had before. And if it doesn’t then it’s…

Now let’s compare the maintenance costs...

So awesome. If only they’d do classic Japanese motorcycles too.

Either his ‘57 Chevy Bel air that he street raced or his Kharman Ghia. We can forget about the ‘76 DeVille.

Love this channel. Been a subscriber for about 6 months now. So cathartic and enjoyable at the same time.

This is a great way to show how an Indian company can bring back a dying brand. With the recent purchase of Norton by an India-based company, I can’t wait to see what they do and I REALLY REALLY hope they’re successful, like RE has been coming back to the market here in the US.

May your future bring you many more servants and personal submarines.

Not a car but a motorcycle. 1970 Ducati 750 Supersport. I’m not a big cafe racer fan but the lines are just so pretty.

The more you know...

I didn’t know it was a mid-century modern chair. Furniture is not an interest of mine.

I had no idea those kind of chairs were popular decades ago.
