    I can really appreciate the fact that they did a whole engine swap, start up, dyno sesh, and track time in one video! Other channels would stretch that out into like 5 videos.

A lot of the time men are expected to provide, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the only one working but ofc it can, but they are expected to make more money & be the main financial provider of the house. With how inflation has gone in the past up until now it makes it a bit harder for someone making average & even slightly above average salary to do their more expensive hobbies that they’d like to enjoy. salaries have only on average 2x’d & inflation trumps that by a bit on housing at least it has 10x’d & that alone is all that’s really needed to shift middle class people to lower class people, etc etc.

    Man Nolan’s excitement for when lo car fired up!! Felt that when I did a engine swap on my older Mercedes. No one had done what I was attempting and there are no aftermarket parts. When that thing fired up on the 2nd crank I was absolutely joyful. Also a manual swap and man feeling the slick gear changes as I’m feeling out the new motor was a wonderful feeling, especially as you realize everything is working like factory and no bad smells or warning lights!

      I am not a car expert by any stretch of the imagination but, to me, it feels like sticking the intake in front of the radiator is not the best idea in the world. I mean, it might be fine, presumably they didn't have any issues with cooling.. but I feel there is definitely going to be lower air pressure in front of the radiator with that setup.

      Anyway, like I said.. I'm sure it's probably fine.. it just seems suboptimal to me as a laymen. I know most of the cars I've owned just sucked air in from the engine compartment (these were trucks and you could see the ground under the hood so... now I own an 86)

      Sadly, this is becoming rare in America. People are paranoid and jealous of each other and sharing ideas and makes them immediately think someone is trying to fleece them or control them. The 19080's was the last decade of freedom without the paranoia. Someone should do a documentary comparing average life in the 1980s and modern day.

      Yep, you could just get less grippy tires or wait until what you have wears down and then use those for drifting if you really wanted to.

      Also due to how complicated vehicles are these days there are less people trying to fix the problem themselves in the garage like they would 30 years ago so because of that so to some people car mechanics are on the same level as PC engineers were when building your own PC was only something certain people did.

    I think one of the issues with High Car's feel was the lowered and back engine. You seemed confused about Low Car whipping it's tail around so easily compared to High Car. The pivot point of any mass will be around its center of gravity, low and center is great for stability as any off-roader will tell you. But the high and forward and HEAVY truck engine is putting the pivot point right around the front wheels. When High Car turns, it's trying to sling the front wheels opposite the rear ones, instead of what Low Car is doing, kicking the rear wheels out. Low Car is probably going to win the angle kit challenge too, based mostly on this factor.

And after something this complicated and labor intensive, you can see how he's just beaming with pride. You really do love to see it.
