I had a little ford ranger pickup v6 that was a blast to drive with a stick....but pressing the clutch in and out 700 times to and from work every day got to be a huge pita. But if you have a small, low hp car yeah, a stick makes the car get up and dance. A facebook friend picked up a 68 (I think) Porsche with a whopping 70 hp but it's his go to car for fun.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one of your videos. As usual, your skills are impressive and your work ethic shows clearly. I make my living as a carpenter/contractor.....licensed and all legal beagle. I’ve been in biz for 41 years. 18 days ago I applied for and paid for a building permit related to a small residential deck project. Usually there is a two week wait to receive the permit. So.....I demolished and dumped the original deck, built the new deck framework which is 8 feet off the ground. It’s supported by temporary posts. Using a laser...a plumb bob works too.....I located the new footing locations and dug the footing holes. 4 of them, 12” diameter by 42” deep. The original builder, a large production builder who builds hundreds of homes in Omaha yearly, didn’t “bother” with footings. How the original building inspector approved of the original deck is a mystery to me. Anyway, by the book, an inspector is supposed to personally view the freshly dug footing holes and confirm correct diameter and depth. It’s standard procedure. It’s the first inspection to be done on deck jobs. . As I said, I built the joist framework on temporary legs, dug the footing holes and assumed that the permit would be in hand by the time I had the digging done, I’d call for footing inspection, get the ok on hole size and I could mix and pour the concrete, erect permanent posts and header the next day and the project would keep moving. NOPE. I called city hall today to check on my permit availability. It could be 1 1/2 to 3 more weeks before issue. I don’t make $ by waiting around so ill proceed with the deck surface, aluminum railings, stairs and railing...etc....etc....all on temporary legs. Self employment always has challenges which is my point. Hence my respect for your repeated presence on KZbin. You understand that there’s a lot more going on besides the craftwork. Self employment is mixed with satisfaction and punishment. I wouldn’t have it any other way. And, my daughters and grandkids come onboard occasionally, similar to your experience. Thanks for listening/reading/whatever. And P.S., I also am hired to fix the “fixes” of previous “craftsmen”. Semper Fidelis Dave Heitman

I get that there is a shit ton of work and footage not shown in these videos, but you are a magician. I would have seen that kick panel area and my heart would have sank thinking I'd scrap the car. I'm a shade tree/at home mechanic kinda guy, but body work like this is out of my league. when You opened that door to show the hinge area, I actually said out loud - by myself - "jesus christ". Absolutely amazed at the finished car. If you're ever out in Yorkville, I'll buy ya a burger at Crusade's. When and if we are ever allowed out again. lmfao

They both went into limp mode in the outside lane of the M25 due to a software fault thinking the pre-cat sensor was faulty.. I had to keep an OBD reader plugged in so I could reset it after crossing 4 lanes of motorway in the aforementioned limp mode. How bloody dangerous is that then.?. They should all be recalled and scrapped, be they Spewick, Pauxhall or sodding Opels. Awful GM worldwide motor cars. The new model isn't much better either.. Rant over. Phew.!
