Hurray for the "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive..." manual! I am 69 year old lady now, but in my late teens, I used the white spiral bound version from the early 1970's to keep my 1970 VW bug alive for over 10 years! The guys at the auto parts store forever gave me a hard time when I'd show up with my shopping list asking for Bosch parts and metric tools, but I persevered because that manual gave me the confidence to do ALL the work on my own VW beginning with dropping the engine to do a valve job, then continuing with regular maintenance, and much more. That manual remained the VW Bug Bible in my family through our lives with additional VW Bugs from '62, '63, '73. More power to you Wawa - not afraid of a little (or a lot) hard work and getting greasy! And, how lucky to have parents who teach and encourage the spirit of accomplishment and independence! You go girl!!!

[@cohocarl]

Wawa, I am glad a fan sent you the "How to keep your Volkswagen alive" manual. My father bought me that same manual back in the mid 1970's along with my 1st car, a 1964 Bug. (It had the crank sunroof, gasoline feed heater, and it was a 6V system.) I have been looking all over trying to find that manual to forward to you, but someone beat me to it. :) Enjoy your Bug!

They're probably on vaca right now. My comment was for anyone reading it. Seriously, if anyone reading this sees Pocky and hasnt tried it, pick it up. It's a little sesame stick dipped in chocolate (or something else... Strawberry is good!) and you may never know how good that is until you try some!

I believe the reason I love your channel other than being family oriented is because you keep it interesting and you do longer videos so you actually feel like we're part of the family or friends when watching your videos. I am always waiting for your next video because I want to see what my favorite family is up too and how life is treating them. I would rate your videos up there with the short series on TV. I would watch one of your videos over most of those series on TV. Love your family and video's. You are one of the best u-tube creators on u-tube Josh and family! ❤ Thanks for producing great content in such a stressful world.

Speaking from experience, if you keep a manual library in your new shop… make it a separate room, and keep it temperature controlled. I kept some in my shop, in a well ventilated cabinet and in less than a year my manuals were losing pages.

The VW book was a life saver for me in high school. I had a ‘63 bug that I did everything on. It’s got some great illustrations too! John Muir was a VW legend. That book fueled my insane interest and passion for cars.

The RC cola piece of metal was actually meant to be on the inside of a corner store or market that sold a small line of groceries! The screen door would have the push bar right in the middle of it, so when you went out, you weren't wearing out the door itself period we used to have Pepsi and Coca-Cola wands, including 7 up thermostat signs that hung on the outside of corner stores in the city of Detroit period it is known as a pushbar.

So, you're gonna have an office down at the new shop. Here's a hint. When working on something and having to reference the Hanynes or Chilton's, or even a factory manual, for the section you need to use, take it and scan the pages and print them off, so it's the copies you get nasty and not your books.

[@claybirch2853]

I have 3 copies of the vw book. One for the shop, it has fingerprints and oil prints all over it. One is for the coffee table, and the last one was used to frame the art that is on many pages, so that book is in pieces. Keep all your books!

The hot rods baseball bat can be used to check tire pressure. Thump it on the tread area of the tire. Thump on a few tires with the right pressure and you learn what that feels and sounds like, then when you thump a soft tire you can, with a bit of practice, you can get within a few pounds fairly accurately.

I love those casing straps, used them a lot in towing years ago. Hard to find now. Fair warning, always slip them as low as possible, or they will rub against fiberglass or metal fenders at the bottom damaging paint if not used correctly. So nice a gift, leave in place on the trailer all the time. just hoop and scoot. takes less than 5 min to strap all 4 casings. @Vevor, nice gift!

The knob for the steering wheel is called a "Brodie knob"......"Brodie" being slang for swinging the car around, a "Rockford", etc. They came from the trucking industry, used to assist semi-trucks in tight confines.

[@derekwalters6132]

Had to laugh at the item you got from Canada being wrapped up in Tuck tape, has to be one of the most Canadian thing, so just so you know we use a paper to wrap over the wood when building a house before siding or brick work, it’s like a vapour barrier and to close the seams we use the Tuck tape to seal them. Also comes in handy if you crack or put a hole in your tail light, a little Tuck tape and you’re good to go until you can replace it. Anyway hope you guys are having an enjoyable vacation in the Oldsmobile.

In trucking, we call a steering wheel knob "a suicide knob", because you can over-steer with them a higher chance of causing an accident.
