My daughters are so motivated whenever i go work on the car because of these women. Best thing Donut has ever done outside of having spanish channel day (BRING IT BACK... I DONT EVEN SPEAK SPANISH LOL)
@@salt-emoji, yeah man! It was called Prestado and it was on Saturdays so it wasn’t cutting nothing out of their daily m-f schedule. Folks just made too much negative noise about it anyways =/
fun fact floor dry is actually basic kitty litter. they just branded it as floor dry because too many people didnt believe that kitty litter actually works on oil. and now floor dry cost more than kitty litter
Was gonna say the same thing, I got a big bag of kitty litter in my garage that I have not often used (knock on wood), but when used for oil, it works like a charm. Plus, what ya gonna do when your wife buys that big bag but the cat still shits in the woods?😂
The first thing you should do if your slip in the oil you just spilled all over the floor is go to the back office and purge the tapes, let no one see your shame. Then if there is time you can clean up the mess.
This is solid advice. Say nothing and of course a mechanic has a change of clothes there somewhere. Otherwise your driver's seat will be a dead giveaway.
i have no ego when it comes to being a "mechanic" because i can perform a basic service and that's it. but watching these ladies with exceptional knowledge also with ms. angie being a teacher it really helps breaking things down and teaching an idiot, thank you ladies and RMS/Donut, cheers everyone.
Put Sandro with both of those incredible ladies. The banter alone will fill hours. You do not even need videos with fails. Just having them trash-talk each other will be glorious. He will love it. We will love it.
@jcole82 Yeah, she knows a ton more than most of the guys with car mechanic channels. She and Sandro are a great team. Angelina has aced a lot of classes and has a lot of experience. Sandro just learned from picking up a 10mm rachet when he was five and taking apart his Dad's car.
When they said that its illegal to have too bald tires i said to myself "what? But what if you wanna street race?" But then i thought "oh wait shit thats illegal too"😅
My dad was a mechanic for forty years before he passed. He diagnosed things over the phone for family members on several occasions. I'm now even more impressed with those instances than before.
Same with me! After I moved 750 miles away from my parents my dad, a mechanic for 50+ years, could tell me exactly what was wrong with my car and what I should and shouldn't do to it. I miss being able to call him and describe some odd noise or have a concern about one of my cars and he'd be there to talk and walk me thru a quick diagnostic process of elimination. Miss you so much dad!❤
I feel that it'll be a blast to work on a car with Angelina, Stephanie, and Sandro. Each of them have a unique personality, and they all share the same passion for the automotive industry.

As for the coyote at the quick lube place, I’m mechanic at a place that does both mechanical work (not small time mechanical work, one of the techs just the other week did the Honda V6 piston ring job, we’ve done LS/LT lifter jobs, fairly advanced diagnostics, etc. admittedly, we try to stay away from major internal engine work, but if it’s something that a particular tech is intimately familiar with, we’ll tear a motor down quite happily.) and the quick oil changes…personally, I’m the shop diesel guy…once, I was over pulling wrenches doing my thing, and I heard Cummins noises, looked up, and it’s a 70’s dodge pulling in for an oil change…I walked over to the oil change side right as they’re popping the hood, and lo and behold, this guy had a 70’s D150 that had been ISB 5.9 swapped, I obviously immediately said ‘Oh! Uhh…that’s not supposed to be in there!’ And started talking to the guy, very interested in what was going on there…of course the lube techs put the vin in the computer and it came up with a completely different engine…fortunately they where smart enough to realize that the I6 that the computer said was there and the I6 that was actually there where a little bit different…I’m BSing with the guy and the lube techs ask me ‘uhh…what is this, what oil does it take?’ ‘Rotella T4.’ ‘Umm…how much?’ ‘12 quarts. And prefill the filter.’…ya…glad I was there that day, cause, as much as I enjoy working on those cummins’, if I had to put one in for free cause those jackasses put not enough of the wrong oil in it, I would not have been happy….
Its slang term is "kitty litter" because before products like floor dry was made for shops to use, most shops used old fashion clay kitty litter to get up chemical spills.

I agree but dude who got the Amazon bumper deserves that stupidity tax and warranty be paying. That thing needs the repair. It ain’t like they charging for stuff that doesn’t need to be replaced.
I absolutely love Angelina ❤️ Not in a creepy way! Lol. Her knowledge, expertise, teaching ability, additude... all is just amazing 👏 The world is very lucky to have someone like her 🙏
At least with a body there's more information you can ask for certain symptoms and history, and people are more able to tell you whats wrong. With cars however, you're reliant on the customers to have intimate knowledge of their cars which is a rarity. if it's a rare disease though, you ain't getting a diagnosis without further test.
I've had the cellphone diag before. The customer brought in his 08 F150 and said the ball joints are noisy. I take for a test drive and I hear nothing unusual. I put on the hoist and do some checks. I still find nothing wrong. I talk to the customer and he tells me that I have to drive the truck 100km before it makes noise. He's not willing to pay for a three hour diagnosis and pulls out his phone to play the noise he recorded. It was the spool valve in the power steering pump shuttling back and forth because he was holding the steering wheel all the way to one side and dead ending the pump.
That’s what I was thinking. When I was young and broke I’ve had tires like that before on a 328i except the wires were… let’s say “very visible” Ended up getting some 5 series rims and tires for $25 a piece from a junkyard and it looked sick af for the next month until the engine blew. If they were just worn like that there’s no chance I would’ve got new tires lmao, I’d put those things on the back and have some fun
Thanks for wheel bearing tip. I do regular maintenance but I got my truck with miles on it already and been trying to track down that noise . “It’s just tire howel” everyone says but I be like I think not. Been checkin everything else ( dif, driveline etc) .
2:53 we have the same trick here in Australia with the 20 cent piece the platypus bill is exactly 3mm so if the tyre fails to get to the platypus it's time to change you tyres
That brake shuddering clip actually did happen to me. It was in fact the control arm bushes that were worn, which resulted in no cushion to absorb the vibration.
That shuddering brake situation happens to rust belt cars, mostly if stored outside for long periods between drives. The pads cause rust patches on the rotors, resulting in a thickness variation (as Angelina mentioned). In severe cases, it can cause the whole car to shake under braking as the pads grab the thicker spots on every rotation.
@@pokemonrocks08 I can honestly say I've never seen either of those situations through 17 years in the trade. Of course, I'll see it next week, now that I've said that, lol
@@CountPantsulon getting them hot enough for the puddle thing would generally need something like dragging while driving. like if some doofus drove a bike resting the foot on the rear brake level slightly. can lead to something that causes the pad to transform into something that gets worn out much quicker than it should
@@lasskinn474 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand the theory of it, but I still haven't seen it, and I've had customers pull in with their brakes literally on fire. (I think in the last Angelina and Sandro video, she mentions that brake fluid is flammable if it gets hot enough. Can confirm.
THANK YOU Ms. A, someone FINALLY said it. It's not "warped rotors" it's thickness variation or "DTV" that causes brake judder! I've been slowly trying to inform everyone I know about the true cause.
@traviscriddle7743 they're not warped. It's not heat distortion. They're unevenly worn around the swept area of the disc. There's a difference. If the rotor was simply warped, then the caliper & pads would follow the disc back and forth and you wouldn't get judder.
I went to change the transmission oil on an old tractor. It was supposed to hold 20 liters, but 40 liters came out. Had to do a couple of those panic runs before it was done lol.
Changing oil, I always use a large pet training pad under the pan. As a backup, I put kitty litter in an old coffee can and shake it onto any spots that miss the pad. Leave it overnight, then just sweep it away.
Just an observation with the quick lube on the coyote. I have a buddy of mine who is a veteran. Combat wounded and lost both of his legs. He loves working on cars and especially diesels. But it's very hard for him to get down and do stuff underneath. He has to take off his legs and put on some rubber protectors over the nubs and everything. And its hard for him to maneuver like that. Because of this he usually has a quicklube/mechanic shop do his oil changes. But he is very specific with the type and amount of oil to put in. Could be a situation like that and the message was never given or recieved on what type of oil to use.
Watching these types of videos inspired me to take a look under my wifes Lexus GX470. There has been an aggravating rattling noise for years. It was a heat plate on the muffler pipe where a clamp rusted away. Easy fix, no more rattle. Plus, i learnt a cabin air filter is a thing. It was disgusting.
My dudets. My Dad got out of a ticket in the 70s by challenging the cop with the Penny trick. when he was drag racing. Dad had better tires then the cop. You all rock and love the content as a car nerd here.
Next thing you know, while Sandro and Angelina are at the destruction derby duking it out, Steph comes in to tag team against Sandro as a surprise appearance. 😂
1:30 That's not failing to replace rotors while replacing pads lol. That's not replacing pads and then getting down to metal on metal, and then still driving that way for a hot minute
And kitty litter is just a specific type of rock/clay. Just dig it up, turn it into small bits, bag it and sell it. No extra work required. Even kitty litter is expensive for what it is. Worst thing, in my country, a professional shop needs to use the "real stuff", to comply with environmental rules.
An even weirder fact about kitty litteris that a chicken farmer originally developed it as a dietary aid for his chickens. It just happened to also be a good alternative for the traditional sand box that was used at the time.
The brakes in the first clip most likely had nothing to do with the mechanics and everything to do with the owner. They drove the car past the pads and into the backing. Metal on metal crime right there. We've all heard a car in traffic making grinding noises when the brakes are applied. That's the problem with being book learnt and not real world learnt. Much respect to those who teach but it's not fair to blame the mechanic for something the owner did. Keep up the great work, I look forward to every episode.
17:08 pretty sure that’s from a Cruze. I had a girl come in for an oil change in her Cruze and it was at 36k with no oil change. Her and her mom both bought a Cruze at the same time. I speak to her about how getting her oil changed more often and she said “do you think that’s why my mom’s car needs a new engine?” Her mom was at 42k with a blow motor.
I had a car on my lift the other day. It was doing the exact thing as buddy with the brakes. What was going on was the control arm bushings had gone bad along with the pads and rotors. It also had a lot of air in the system. The brakes had been inconsistently grabbing the rotor, causing a hard vibration. The bad control arm bushings allowed for things to move around more than they should.
I had a similar sound as the one at 14:13 on a car once. We thought it was the wheel hub bearing, so I bought a new one to replace it with. When I was taking the axle nut off, I realized how lucky I was that the cotter pin for the axle nut was still in. Because the cotter pin was the ONLY thing holding the nut on. The sound came from my wheel moving side to side when braking. Tightened everything back down and no more odd sounds!
To be fair with "you could look up the oil capacity in your owners manual," half the mechanics I've gone to don't look it up and overfill or underfill the car and never check the dipstick, and they're getting paid to do it. I guess knowing what you're doing and checking your work these days is heroic.
The new norm is "do things as quickly as possible". Anything short of getting a task done is considered to be cut from the task entirely. When you do an oil change (either for the first time on a specific model, or as a mechanic doing multiple a day), you need to: - Research the specifics (Oil type and quantity required, filter too.) - Research the method. - Do the thing. - Check that you did the thing right. Anything in that list that isn't "Do the thing" probably gets cut.
Its not mechanic stuff, but at my job I have to check fixes other companies make to their software, and theyll send us a list of things they fixed, and at least half of it is exactly the same as it was before. Most of it is the easiest shit in the world to verify too, but they never do. It's at least 80% of companies we work with are like this. Then they come back with "oops, we forgot to update such and such, it should be good now", and even then lots of times it still isn't changed. Fucking no one verifies anything, it blows my mind.
"I am THE professional mechanic, no need for some stinkin' piece of paper called manual, I have been doing this for over a decade and my way always works!" I have met way to many of this kind in my life.
My dad was a mechanic for 50+ years and he'd be slapping me from his urn if I never checked the fluid levels after having work done on my car. He made sure I know how to do an oil change in an emergency, change flat tires, and do basic brakes if I absolutely needed to. Nothing funnier than seeing the faces of the mechanics that just worked on my car watch me, a woman, lift the hood and start double checking dip sticks, battery, hoses, belts, the radiator etc... Not saying they do anything wrong, but I've known too many women who've wound up having to take their cars back for repair work due to the mechanic(s) conveniently forgetting to top off fluid levels; especially oil and brake fluid. When I was e n my eaely 20's a mechanic once tried to tell me the master cylinder needed to be changed after they had to do my brakes and replace one of the lines. I saw that there wasn't any fluid in the reservoir so I asked why there was no brake fluid in it and how did they bleed the new line without it. They went back and fixed the "problem" for free and ta-da the master cylinder was just fine!😉
10:40 Well you see, this is the UK, he probably wanted to do it while it wasn't raining, but got bored of waiting for it to stop raining after 3 years.
Fun tip: the Floor Dry 'kitty litter' works perfectly as potting soil for most plants and potted trees. As long as it doesn't have additives it's actually one of the preferred mediums for growing bonsai and succulents.
1:13 It's like managing your re-entry angle in order to preserve the ablative heat shield of your spacecraft: Go in too steep, and you'll create more heat than your shield can handle at any given time (it breaks up); Go in too shallow, you'll stay heated up for longer than your shield can tolerate in order to hold together (it peels off). Slam the brakes, you outgas and grind off a lot of dust. Ride the brakes lightly for long distances, you'll get brake fade as the fluid boils.
Or as I found out to my own detriment: don't use the brakes often and/or hard enough and the rust won't be scraped off properly, leading to pitting so bad the rotors had to be replaced.
My very first oil catching device in my garage was a stamped steel enamel coated shower basin (30x30 from a salvage yard) with a coaster wheel (from a shopping cart) at each corner. Low enough to fit under a car, big enough to catch a lot of oil, and has a drain hole built in..
6:24 i think most of us have been there (not actually going over) but putting 5 quarts into a 7 quart open pan like that is guaranteed to splash oil everywhere. Did that once and got the biggest pan I could find. Shout out to the chewy box, that is my go to Carolina creeper for all things garagev😂
The car with the radiator hanging and the loose bumper was a MK 5 VW, and that issue is pretty common. The whole radiator support is plastic, and it breaks the first time you hit anything like a curb or parking marker. I had this exact thing happen when my lowered Jetta hooked its front bumper over a parking marker. As soon as you back out, the lower radiator support rips off and takes the front bumper with it. I was lucky, enough of my rad support remained to hold the rad up until I could fix it.

I always appreciated when someone explains something to me and i dont feel like a dumb ass after. Learn a new thing today about oil , thanks ladys.
The ladies be killin it. Donut gets the best people.
"Wear bars" are usually labeled with a little arrow on the sidewall and the letters "TWI" For Tread Wear Indicator.
or a little michelin man
Thanks for wheel bearing tip. I do regular maintenance but I got my truck with miles on it already and been trying to track down that noise . “It’s just tire howel” everyone says but I be like I think not. Been checkin everything else ( dif, driveline etc) .
2:53 we have the same trick here in Australia with the 20 cent piece the platypus bill is exactly 3mm so if the tyre fails to get to the platypus it's time to change you tyres
That brake shuddering clip actually did happen to me. It was in fact the control arm bushes that were worn, which resulted in no cushion to absorb the vibration.
this channel is just something else. i love it here. happy to see angelina, happy to see steph
That shuddering brake situation happens to rust belt cars, mostly if stored outside for long periods between drives. The pads cause rust patches on the rotors, resulting in a thickness variation (as Angelina mentioned). In severe cases, it can cause the whole car to shake under braking as the pads grab the thicker spots on every rotation.
or when brake rotor gets crooked when driving through puddle of water after heavy braking
@@krisavi or if the rotors get warped from someone putting the lugs on with an impact gun set to "yes".
@@pokemonrocks08 I can honestly say I've never seen either of those situations through 17 years in the trade.
Of course, I'll see it next week, now that I've said that, lol
@@CountPantsulon getting them hot enough for the puddle thing would generally need something like dragging while driving.
like if some doofus drove a bike resting the foot on the rear brake level slightly. can lead to something that causes the pad to transform into something that gets worn out much quicker than it should
@@lasskinn474 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand the theory of it, but I still haven't seen it, and I've had customers pull in with their brakes literally on fire. (I think in the last Angelina and Sandro video, she mentions that brake fluid is flammable if it gets hot enough. Can confirm.
THANK YOU Ms. A, someone FINALLY said it. It's not "warped rotors" it's thickness variation or "DTV" that causes brake judder! I've been slowly trying to inform everyone I know about the true cause.
So. Warped rotors.
@traviscriddle7743 they're not warped. It's not heat distortion. They're unevenly worn around the swept area of the disc. There's a difference. If the rotor was simply warped, then the caliper & pads would follow the disc back and forth and you wouldn't get judder.
Girl Power! I love this! I did miss Sandro, but this mix is pretty fun too.
I went to change the transmission oil on an old tractor. It was supposed to hold 20 liters, but 40 liters came out. Had to do a couple of those panic runs before it was done lol.
Was the transmission larger then expected?
Changing oil, I always use a large pet training pad under the pan. As a backup, I put kitty litter in an old coffee can and shake it onto any spots that miss the pad. Leave it overnight, then just sweep it away.
I work in a shop and we buy 20lbs bags of “absorb all” and it’s just kitty litter. So yeah can confirm kitty litter works
Messy. Catch it dont spread that bull. Pig mat goes a long way
More of these ladies together! Love it!
Ohh they have such good chemistry together, more please!!!
Just an observation with the quick lube on the coyote. I have a buddy of mine who is a veteran. Combat wounded and lost both of his legs. He loves working on cars and especially diesels. But it's very hard for him to get down and do stuff underneath. He has to take off his legs and put on some rubber protectors over the nubs and everything. And its hard for him to maneuver like that. Because of this he usually has a quicklube/mechanic shop do his oil changes. But he is very specific with the type and amount of oil to put in. Could be a situation like that and the message was never given or recieved on what type of oil to use.
Cool story bro
Angelina is the teacher we all wish we had
Oh shit, ladies night... Appropriate for Thursday! Awesome job Angelina and Co!
No lie, every time I see the thumbnail for a new RMS video it puts a smile on my face.
Watching these types of videos inspired me to take a look under my wifes Lexus GX470. There has been an aggravating rattling noise for years. It was a heat plate on the muffler pipe where a clamp rusted away.
Easy fix, no more rattle.
Plus, i learnt a cabin air filter is a thing. It was disgusting.
My dudets. My Dad got out of a ticket in the 70s by challenging the cop with the Penny trick. when he was drag racing. Dad had better tires then the cop. You all rock and love the content as a car nerd here.
That's it! Mechanics react should race all their Hondas!
dont get me wrong, I ride for ma boy sandro but this is probable the best chemistry yet.
great vibes, keep it up!🤙
I feel like these two immediately became best friends lol. I'm shivering in Sandro's boots for him already
Next thing you know, while Sandro and Angelina are at the destruction derby duking it out, Steph comes in to tag team against Sandro as a surprise appearance. 😂
Oh cmon....Sando is the GOAT.
I love their little friendly rivalry. 😅
Sandro will always bring that For The Boys energy for us!
1:30 That's not failing to replace rotors while replacing pads lol. That's not replacing pads and then getting down to metal on metal, and then still driving that way for a hot minute
Can't believe it's been a year since the first mechanics video's out. One of my fav weekly show on youtube 🎉🎉🎉
Floor Dri is literally just kitty litter that they charge 3 times more for.
Do they make a clumping version? :)
And kitty litter is just a specific type of rock/clay. Just dig it up, turn it into small bits, bag it and sell it. No extra work required. Even kitty litter is expensive for what it is.
Worst thing, in my country, a professional shop needs to use the "real stuff", to comply with environmental rules.
@Yyolve *scratches out kitty litter on container, writes "real stuff" * There perfectly legal now!
An even weirder fact about kitty litteris that a chicken farmer originally developed it as a dietary aid for his chickens.
It just happened to also be a good alternative for the traditional sand box that was used at the time.
You gotta make sure to get the clay type litter. They make other kinds that don't work for spills.
Love the energy of these two together!
🙄
The brakes in the first clip most likely had nothing to do with the mechanics and everything to do with the owner. They drove the car past the pads and into the backing. Metal on metal crime right there. We've all heard a car in traffic making grinding noises when the brakes are applied. That's the problem with being book learnt and not real world learnt. Much respect to those who teach but it's not fair to blame the mechanic for something the owner did. Keep up the great work, I look forward to every episode.
These two ladies and Sandro are some of the best content on YT.
More videos with these 2 lovely ladies and Sandro pls. Their energies are SOOO likable.
I see Angelina I click and pay attention to class
And Steph is goals ❤
6:03 I SEE WHAT YALL DID THERE 😂
17:08 pretty sure that’s from a Cruze. I had a girl come in for an oil change in her Cruze and it was at 36k with no oil change. Her and her mom both bought a Cruze at the same time. I speak to her about how getting her oil changed more often and she said “do you think that’s why my mom’s car needs a new engine?” Her mom was at 42k with a blow motor.
My dad doesn't throw used oil away, we use it for burning brush. I finally got him to stop burning old lawn tractor tires.😂
Jesus. That's better than burning the tires I guess. Lol
Right, old tires Are dirty. He should burn NEW ones instead.
@@russianbear0027oil comes from plants. Releasing carbon into the atmosphere saves the planet.
How do you get the steel out then if you don't burn it? Or do you heat the house with tyres at a higher temperature?
American recycling at it's finest. And they'll say climate change isn't real. 🤣
I had a car on my lift the other day. It was doing the exact thing as buddy with the brakes. What was going on was the control arm bushings had gone bad along with the pads and rotors. It also had a lot of air in the system. The brakes had been inconsistently grabbing the rotor, causing a hard vibration. The bad control arm bushings allowed for things to move around more than they should.
I had a similar sound as the one at 14:13 on a car once. We thought it was the wheel hub bearing, so I bought a new one to replace it with. When I was taking the axle nut off, I realized how lucky I was that the cotter pin for the axle nut was still in. Because the cotter pin was the ONLY thing holding the nut on. The sound came from my wheel moving side to side when braking. Tightened everything back down and no more odd sounds!
To be fair with "you could look up the oil capacity in your owners manual," half the mechanics I've gone to don't look it up and overfill or underfill the car and never check the dipstick, and they're getting paid to do it. I guess knowing what you're doing and checking your work these days is heroic.
The new norm is "do things as quickly as possible". Anything short of getting a task done is considered to be cut from the task entirely.
When you do an oil change (either for the first time on a specific model, or as a mechanic doing multiple a day), you need to:
- Research the specifics (Oil type and quantity required, filter too.)
- Research the method.
- Do the thing.
- Check that you did the thing right.
Anything in that list that isn't "Do the thing" probably gets cut.
Its not mechanic stuff, but at my job I have to check fixes other companies make to their software, and theyll send us a list of things they fixed, and at least half of it is exactly the same as it was before. Most of it is the easiest shit in the world to verify too, but they never do. It's at least 80% of companies we work with are like this. Then they come back with "oops, we forgot to update such and such, it should be good now", and even then lots of times it still isn't changed. Fucking no one verifies anything, it blows my mind.
"I am THE professional mechanic, no need for some stinkin' piece of paper called manual, I have been doing this for over a decade and my way always works!"
I have met way to many of this kind in my life.
My dad was a mechanic for 50+ years and he'd be slapping me from his urn if I never checked the fluid levels after having work done on my car. He made sure I know how to do an oil change in an emergency, change flat tires, and do basic brakes if I absolutely needed to. Nothing funnier than seeing the faces of the mechanics that just worked on my car watch me, a woman, lift the hood and start double checking dip sticks, battery, hoses, belts, the radiator etc... Not saying they do anything wrong, but I've known too many women who've wound up having to take their cars back for repair work due to the mechanic(s) conveniently forgetting to top off fluid levels; especially oil and brake fluid. When I was e n my eaely 20's a mechanic once tried to tell me the master cylinder needed to be changed after they had to do my brakes and replace one of the lines. I saw that there wasn't any fluid in the reservoir so I asked why there was no brake fluid in it and how did they bleed the new line without it. They went back and fixed the "problem" for free and ta-da the master cylinder was just fine!😉
You're going to a quick lube. Not a mechanic. Don't get confused. 😂
Angelina AND Steph? Let's GOOOOO
Man I look forward to these videos everyweek. Thanks guys.
“With extended warranty”. You go girl. You’re absolutely right. Unless the inspector kicks it out!!
Best Team Ever!!! Their vibes are contagious…reminds of the auto shop teachers in the 80’s…👍✌️🤣🤣🤣
10:40 Well you see, this is the UK, he probably wanted to do it while it wasn't raining, but got bored of waiting for it to stop raining after 3 years.
Love you ladies!!!!! I love the dynamic!!!!
perfect timing just was looking for a video to watch :)
Fun tip: the Floor Dry 'kitty litter' works perfectly as potting soil for most plants and potted trees. As long as it doesn't have additives it's actually one of the preferred mediums for growing bonsai and succulents.
Angelina and Steph are a great duo, they're so funny together! I'd love to see them paired up again in future vids 😊
The laughter on the background is always hilarious 😂😂😭
1:13 It's like managing your re-entry angle in order to preserve the ablative heat shield of your spacecraft: Go in too steep, and you'll create more heat than your shield can handle at any given time (it breaks up); Go in too shallow, you'll stay heated up for longer than your shield can tolerate in order to hold together (it peels off).
Slam the brakes, you outgas and grind off a lot of dust. Ride the brakes lightly for long distances, you'll get brake fade as the fluid boils.
Or as I found out to my own detriment: don't use the brakes often and/or hard enough and the rust won't be scraped off properly, leading to pitting so bad the rotors had to be replaced.
After the first paragraph, I didn't think we were talking about cars any more.
"It's like managing your re-entry angle in order to preserve the ablative heat shield of your spacecraft."
Something we can all relate to.
@@chaoslord8918 Hey, once you got that one aced, braking whilst canyon carving seems a little easier.
that's why i do both and brake erratically. keeps everyone on their toes
Radical Steph and my Queen Angelina.. It's a good day
I’ve been trying to remove an oil stain in garage for months. This video sold me on some simple green and it worked!!
Angelina is the best, i could listen to her explain anything for hours!
Someone at donut has to pitch the next hi-lo with donut hosts and RMS hosts against each other
i adore these two ladies, doubly so with them together. appreciate u girls very much !
The new one doesn't add much
saved my day at work thanks guys!
Having these two together in a video is doing things to me.
My very first oil catching device in my garage was a stamped steel enamel coated shower basin (30x30 from a salvage yard) with a coaster wheel (from a shopping cart) at each corner. Low enough to fit under a car, big enough to catch a lot of oil, and has a drain hole built in..
14:36 I can't stop repeating that bit over and over :D And Sandros reaction is just too pure.
I love these ladies!!! We want more vids with both of them!!! 🫶🫶🫶
This crew is amazing!!
6:24 i think most of us have been there (not actually going over) but putting 5 quarts into a 7 quart open pan like that is guaranteed to splash oil everywhere. Did that once and got the biggest pan I could find. Shout out to the chewy box, that is my go to Carolina creeper for all things garagev😂
The car with the radiator hanging and the loose bumper was a MK 5 VW, and that issue is pretty common. The whole radiator support is plastic, and it breaks the first time you hit anything like a curb or parking marker. I had this exact thing happen when my lowered Jetta hooked its front bumper over a parking marker. As soon as you back out, the lower radiator support rips off and takes the front bumper with it. I was lucky, enough of my rad support remained to hold the rad up until I could fix it.
Damn Sandro looks fine this episode
Gay
Fantastic to see two women who clearly know more about cars than 99.9% of men absolutely nailing it.
I mean they are meant to know for as it's their profession 😅 .
I wouldn't say 99.9%.🤔
“It’s a Hyundai” is code for the engines gonna die anyway 😂
Naw, my moms Hyundai ran for years. You just have to do regular maintenance checks just like any other car except a Yugo. Those are just shit.
@@mikeblair2594 if it were a toyota the maintenance is more of a suggestion.
Hyundai run for 300 fairly regularly. I have never understood the joke
More of Steph and Angelina together please. They are hilarious together.
These girls are great very funny and entertaining to watch I love everyone on this show it’s been my favorite for a while now keep up the great work !
