That's by design. MCM is supposed to be an insane waste of time. They even acknowledge that they're not pro's and that this show is meant to be informative. So it really depends on what you prefer, real information or a little madness.

Reminds me of my youthful days. I had a Bedford van with a chevy V8 and TH 350 tranny. Swapped out the rear end for a Ford 9 inch. Surprised a lot of cars at the stoplights. Good fun. I really miss the old days.
Yes, a fellow "I.T. Professional" here myself, I understand. What I was suggesting was how "normal" it is to call someone up, have them use your laptop, to start your 40 year old van remotely and then tell you what needs to be done. Not that it's very complicated, but the infrastructure required has snuck in much quieter than sci-fi movies and the like would have made you think. BASICALLY I'm saying, "Wow what a time we live in." The fact that he could be doing this from Antarctica, the Space Station, or the backyard, it's all the same thing, and it's all very impressive.
I just paid 3.18 USD for 89 octane in the Pacific Northwest USA and that's a little high for my 30 gallon gas tank in my truck and I get about 13mpg Edit: but the state I live in takes 1% of our income for road use tax, then a few % road use tax when we pay property tax
@@ijmodified In the Pacific Northwest as well. $3.40 a gallon for mid is about as cheap as I see around my area. 87 is usually $3 a gallon though and my truck has about an 18gal tank and gets 30mpg so I cant really complain.

Sadly I had to sell my Bedford ´cause my dad refused to help me. I am so glad to see this one done. Cheers.
