This channel provides all the information i quite literally had to fight (hand to hand) to learn. No other yt channel can say that they influenced entire careers for young adults across the entire country and to say that is invaluable would be a complete understatement to what this team does for aspiring mechanics.

      Good on you mate, sounds like you're doing well. I'm 22 myself and I've been working as a mechanics apprentice for a few months, real rough industry but I love it so far. I figured out pretty quick a good way to earn some points with the older blokes is to volunteer to do the bits of the job that are uncomfortable, annoying, painful or just gross. If you've got any tips for someone new to the industry I'd appreciate it.

      @@areminderofwhatweare I don't watch sports and have zero interest in playing basketball, but if it isn't against the rules, go for it. Do basketball teams not pass the ball to a person waiting in a good location to easily get the ball in the net? I would bet the way the game is started would prevent you from doing what you described if you were a single player. If players on a team don't do that, then it is either not possible or practical or against rules....there are plenty of people out there just to win. I do watch Cleetus McFarland (for the mechanics, story, and characters/people, not really the racing) where they do what they can to win races and they have run their car with no coolant on a hurt engine and gambled further damaging it to win the race or set a new record. It depends on the players' goals. I compete in shooting competitions where I have to decide how I want to tackle a course of fire and there are sometimes shortcuts you can use that do not break the rules but require creative thinking or planning. Each course will have directions and /or requirements that vary and a big part of the game is for each shooter to decide what order and method to use to get the hits as fast as possible to have the fastest time.

To really get them trying to think and not just assume stuff.
