Where the heck can I find a woman like Michelle. Somehow finds time to do all of the things for normal everyday life plus video editing, plus driving HERSELF to and from the dentist for a root canal while picking up parts and getting pizzas to bring home for dinner. Absolutely unbelievable, Paul is one lucky man. We see you Michelle

[@rollinrat4850]

The trick is looking in the right places, not a freakin bar. When it comes to a lifelong partner, never compromise! Be practical and think with your big head. Don't let emotion overwhelm you. Even consider the family you are marrying into. I was attracted to my wife because she was outspoken and says what's on her mind. Unlike most of the women I dated before. We just celebrated our 34th last week. We still argue, bicker and disagree, yet love each other. Now that our daughter is grown up, moved away and married, we need each other more than ever.

It pays to sound calm when you demolition derby.

Michelle, I just had to visit the endodontist the other day. I wound up with an extracted tooth, and a bone graft to eventually get a tooth implant. Getting old is not for the faint of heart!

[@logicalguy488]

Free tip for you Paul from a retired mechanic, I heard you say put saw dust on the break fluid spill. Absolute best thing is water, it neutralizes break fluid in seconds. Just throw water on and wipe up or hose it out. Same goes for cleaning brake drums full of brake fluid after a wheel cylinder leak job, just hose it out.

[@The.Breakfast.Burrito]

Very logical!

I see their fallback method was burnouts. Certainly helped get spinning!

[@DonAshcraft]

This is one of your best videos ever! Really good editing and sound. Dual plot with the shop and Michelle's trip to the dentist. And some worldly food tasting. Even some chicken wrangling. Lots of fun and hilarious family time! Thanks, I needed this. 🙂

[@TimTowell]

Absolutely agree. The editing has gotten really good, with dual window playback at the start, three storylines (The highlights of Michelle and her visit to get a root canal plus buying pizzas and meters, filter, return spring and the rest of the parts off of Paul’s list from the parts store for the bronco, and Paul’s brother Ben cleaning the carburetor and getting everything ready to run on the bronco., & finally Paul doing the good parenting thing with the kids sports…). You can tell Ben is from the same Cox Bloodline as Paul is from as he is a natural at “We do it nice, because we do it twice!” … I love this channel, and getting Ben and Randel added to the Cox family on the channel is a great improvement…

Michelle is such a good sport. She doesn't mind the banter, which is not a common find. Love the difference having her input into the videos.

For those that don't know, the first Ford Bronco had a 107 hp v8. Not quite something to write home about. The Toyota pickup with the 22R engine had the same hp, but the difference is the torque, which Ford had more of than the Toyota.

[@rollinrat4850]

The biggest difference is how long those 22Rs last. That's a 'cockroach' motor! I put a heavy flywheel on mine. There's some decent torque for rock crawling.

Reason he does the burnouts in the shop is because he doesn’t have concrete outside the shop, just gravel.
