    I've known Magic Mike for years and years, over a decade, longer than the Car Wizard actually. 4:00 was an obvious joke (he knew I was joking) but if you want to take it as an Ellen Degeneres moment, go ahead... It did look rude, it was rude looking at it out of context. Sorry if you think I'm a terrible person now.

    Checking the hydraulic fluid level and hearing "all the way down to the armpit" reminded me of when my daughter was in grade 9 and taking autoshop. She helped me do a service on my car and was more than happy to go elbow deep under the hood. While I was doing one job she was draining the oil and began to take off the oil filter. As she unscrewed it, warm oil began running down her arm and I heard her exclaim "yuck...it's running down my arm into my armpit" but she didn't let that phase her. As we were cleaning up she asked me with a big smile "Dad, do they make a deodorant that is specifically made to cover up the smell of gas and oil?" I had a newfound love and respect for her from that moment on..

    I used to repair VCRs back in the day. Worked in a shop doing them. VCR Head Cleaners, do not work. They can actually break the 'flying heads' on the rotating drum. There are grooves in the drum that need to be cleaned out for proper tracking (like the treads of a tire). If they are full of tape oxides, the drum acts like a 'racing slick' on a wet road.

    I used to perform destructive fatigue tests on leaf springs, with a servo-controlled hydraulic ram. The hydraulics did not leak badly enough to warrant replacing the seals, so the machine would have a sheen of hydraulic oil. Before breaking, there would be a significant amount of metal filings as the spring leaves rubbed against each other. The combination of metal filings and hydraulic oil made my hands "Lady Macbeth" filthy.
