    As a performance mechanic I know the feeling of building something from the ground up, those long nights at the shop, kicking back drinking some brews with your buddies throwing steaks on the grill while building a few race cars, then hearing it fire up for the first time and watching it go down the street huffing a 300 shot of nitrous nothing compares. Yea you can go buy a 700hp hellcat but the feeling of gapping a hellcat in your backyard/shop built shit box is waaaaaay more fun lol

    I feel the same about my very first car.
    I wish I could have kept it.
    It was a 1982 Honda Civic hatchback stick. I loved that car. We went through a LOT together. I took it mudding of all things. Moved myself from apartment to apartment in two trips each. Of course not the big furniture.
    It was uncomfortable as heck to ride in, but I made it more comfortable over time. Miss my Buddy.

    My son is like this guy. He bought a 94 Bronco and lifted it 4". Then bought F250 axles but the weight bogged it down so he bought an F250 and put the 7.3 diesel motor in it.
    We went and checked out a specialized Jeep shop one day and when we left I said, Jeeps are cool looking but I hear they're not reliable so you have to work on them a lot. He replied, Yeah, but that's a cool thing. 😄

  • @sendit9129

    As outplayed as LS swaps are (coming from someone who owns one..), Gen3/Gen4 LS engines are the holy grail for the DIY guy (although you won't catch me installing any Advance Auto/Autozone supplied parts on my vehicle happily..) and the points made about Teslas not being servicable is harsh but entirely believable (I would say accurate, but of course, no first hand experience..).
    And that reality is spreading further and further into even the Gas/Diesel world. Getting "Hard parts" for vehicles (trucks in my case) isn't exactly difficult, but the (sometimes unnecessary) electronic integration with those parts would be a nightmare for the average DIYer. Service resets, relearns, manual Regens, injector coding, etc are all out of reach for those who aren't armed with a solid diagnostic scanner/center..

    If you watch the full episode, he talks about the "faceless man" and not having an end to the story. I was touched and I hope he continues working on it. I had some thoughts on it and wrote them down (pardon me for being silly):
    Rich Benoit’s Faceless Man
    I was the faceless man,
    and didn’t want to be recognized for reasons I won’t expand,
    Thought I should go away, even formulated a plan,
    chickened out halfway through, and got a helping hand,
    not everyone does, and I don’t know how they can stand,
    I stopped being so closed, tried to be more transparent,
    I focused on what I would want to see in a parent,
    Little acts of kindness, If unrecognized even better,
    I opened up back to my source without regret or being bitter,
    You’re still the child your were, with all this additional experience,
    Where will you end up, no one can tell you just experiment and bear with it.
    Have fun and be kind.
