      People forget how important Auto Shop is for the kids that need hands on learning and maybe a place to feel valued. Not everyone's learns the same way.

      They made it to the part where he said his 10 year old can do it, realized they couldn't even change the air filter on their own car and rage quit......... but in all honesty, if I had to genuinely guess, I would imagine a certain amount of his audience doesn't know the first thing about a vehicle and watch him solely for the comedic value. Considering he actually got a little technical and wasn't goofing off as much as some of his other video, maybe they were dissatisfied? Running out of cold snack theory is just as possible though.

    knowledgeable and good teacher. Thank you for all the things you share. You are not only funny but an easy to understand teacher. You should do a teaching video.............well........I guess ....you already have. LOL Thank you for what you are doing, I think I learn something every time I watch one........... well........I'll be dipped !
