I don't know if your trailer is special, but generally you want to have the cars on them balanced over the axles. If a car is too far back, the trailer will rock and make the towing car sway and move a lot. If it's too far forward like that it'll make the front end of the towing vehicle light, making it sway also, but under extreme circumstances can also make breaking nearly impossible.

Because new car designers and engineers aren't as smart as they think they are. I bet if you talked to an auto engineer from the 70's they see what they're doing with cars now and scream. One such example is: I have an F150. The battery went dead and sat for a while. When I charged up the battery the power windows didn't work. I found out the "ecu has to re-learn that you have power windows" why in the hell are the power windows connected to the ECU? It's a freaking switch that makes the window go UP and the window go DOWN. No complicated wiring harness wired to the ECU is necessary. Same as the sun roof, the power rear sliding window, everything. There's actually a printed circuit board under the switches that is a common fail point.

@@muskokamike127 wrong, they are ensuring that basic maintenance is done at the dealer, which will discourage the diy guy from doing any larger repairs or maintenance if they make the most basic of procedures more difficult. It ensures most, if not all maintenance is performed in house, generating revenue and upselling opportunities for other repairs. It is a smart business move when you already have a demand for your brand simply because of it's name, people will still buy it and brag about how elite the service being performed is.

@@jeremyhanna3852 but cost to do so wouldnt be worth it. BMW parts are a premium $ maker. The car will end up a parts car, the damage is to far forward to just clip the car, plus I'm sure the insurance company titled it as a non repairable because the damage is so far forward. I've seen some bad hits get fixed yes, but costs to do isnt worth it. Plus why fix a insane bad rear hit with a front hit car? Would be other way around, this car would be a parts car for front end damage

Bought a 2011 Chevy Camaro 2SS 6.2L automatic and did a complete rebuild, then bought a hail damaged 2016 GMC Terrain SLT2 3.6L AWD and replaced the sunroof and put Camaro wheels on it. Anyways, keep vids coming. Really looking forward to you finishing up your Ferrari fixer. Really hope you get the issue resolved.

Tip# : Inside the oil pan there is an oil pump you should probably check for leaks, specially the gaskets, there is one gasket on it that usually breaks and doesn't pressurize the oil pump well enough, it's better to replace it with a gasket used in air condition units (green color) because they are harder and have longer life

Back in June I found a car I wanted for a project car on coparts, so I signed up and registered, and tried to bid on it, but sadly they would not let me bid. I guess because I found the auction too late? It had like 5 hours left on it. Tried everything I could to try to bid on it but wouldn't let me bid. Wasn't anything fancy or high-end, was just a car I found nice and wanted to work on as a project car and only had a few things to fix up anyway. Was a 2008 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT with 35k miles on it. Only problems was the front bumper was ripped off and the back driver side tire was gone. All in all I wouldn't have checked out coparts or thought of doing a project like that if it wasn't from the inspiration I get from your videos. Keep up the good work!
