    Hey Jeff, how do you like your new roadster shop chassis in regards to drivability, comfort, pros and cons etc.. and how does it compare to your old modified original chassis? Do to your extensive driving I know you have put both to the test Do you feel it was worth swapping? I know they aren't cheap lol ...... Comparing the two chassis would make for a great video! : )

    • @jeffthisted
      @jeffthisted  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question Fifty!! It’s a night and day difference!! There is no comparison. It’s the best investment I ever made. I had done as much as I could to the old chassis and it was great but the Roadster Shop is another level. I’ve got over 21,000 miles on it since April and I’m not done yet.

    I’m not sure where the statement “Cobbler Shoes” came from. I’m running up on 73 years old and my mother and father ran a shoe repair shop. My first pair of boots were custom made by my father. When I outgrew them he made me another pair. I was never without shoes or boots….

    • @jeffthisted

      I think the phrase came about because the cobblers friends and family and business associates always had the best shoes. The cobbler… not so much. It’s a total generalization so please don’t be offended.
