It never ceases to amaze me that Nick builds all of these high performance engines with lots of compression and big lumpy cams and how easily and quickly they start and how smooth they run.

I am a car guy and I love watching Nick’s Garage. I like the fact that there are cars featured from the three big brands. I especially like the dyno runs. As a french Canadian, I am very proud to see a Quebec citizen with Greek descendance such as Nick, be able to communicate with his clients in our 2 national languages as well as in Greek. In this time of building walls and hunting down “illegal” immigrants in the country south of our border ( not to mention racially motivated mass shootings), this makes me happy to live in a truly free country that is welcoming and embraces diversity. The Greeks, the Italians and a lot of other groups have helped build our nation to what it has become and I am truly thankful for it. God bless you all.

It’s interesting that you choose to warn me that mass shootings will eventually happen in my country rather than saying for example: “we are working towards change and educating our youth to be more tolerating and along with stricter gun laws we look towards a brighter future”. That being said, I apologize for my initial comment I will keep it all about cars from now on.

I feel your pain on the hidden fuel pump switch, Nick! Years ago I had just started working the counter at a 10bay full service tire shop. The owner had a low mileage '70 Cutlass convertible with a 455(may have been a 350, he had 4 Cutlasses), white paint, interior, and top that he kept at the shop. Every day we pulled it out in the morning and back in at night. My 3rd day there, I was closing the store alone and no one had told me about the hidden FP switch it had. I spent over 2hrs trying to start that car thinking at first I had flooded it, then checking spark, and finally realizing there was no fuel pressure while praying the owner didnt show up and see the new guy working under the hood of his baby that is still out in the parking lot well after close. I finally swallowed my pride, called my boss, got a big ear full of him laughing his head off as he told me where the hidden switch was. He got me good with that little prank. I returned the favor a few weeks later.
