And now he's coming up on 1.4 million Subscribers and he and Jessica just starred in the debut on their new Motor Trend show on the Motor Trend Channel on YT, "Roadworthy Rescues". That is way cool and they earned it and they deserve it because they are truly good, salt-of-the-earth, genuine, honest people.

    As an old Ford guy from the early 70's, and wrenched on most of them from late 60's up to early 2000's Watching you delve into the mysteries of Ford Vacuum driven accessories, and air pumps for emissions standards at the time was hilarious and also I felt a pang of pity for you. Best thing to do, is rip it all off, plug the holes, hook up a pump down vacuum gauge, and plug whatever leaks are left. It will run much better after that. But your AC or vent controls won't work, nor defrost settings etc. The only cars worse than mid to late 70 Fords were Dastun B-210's!!! with the vacuum nonsense. Really enjoyed this, and yes, everything has to be different with Ford.

    One of the best from VGG! A guy decided to capture all the great quotes from Derek, but it's not easy to do since Derek vocabulates one of these every 1.43 seconds! Using my post-pad 3000 and a pen, I've captured a list of some of my favorites:
    1) We've got snow fence!
    2) Leg caught in fence...going down again
    3) We've got an in ground pool!
    4) Let's see what we got in the cab (repeat)
    5) Ankle vents wide open
    6) Smells like a wet green house and port-o-potty from Woodstock
    7) Columns from Caesars palace
    8) Flex-O-Lite hood
    9) Severe hosage
    10) NASA air cleaner
    11) Tin foil so she's been tuned on
    12) Sounds better than Seth Green's laugh
    13) Smells like burnt charcoal...a good sign
    14) Lone wolf 6000
    15) Something about a good egg sammich....Cardinal
    16) Go till it feels right
    17) This one don't fit so I need that one back
    18) We got angle iron in here
    19) Looks like a murder scene down there
    20) Dirtier than a Molly Cirrus video
