      LIsten Derek (and Kevin @JYD) keeps me interested and entertained enough so that I watch all of his videos and priortize them for when I have time to really relax and enjoy them on the big screen like the fine film productions that they are - and you guys, I don't even drive. I never had a driver's license and have never been interested in cars. Between you and Kevin and Scotty Kilmer, I have started noticing makes of cars and things like that, I never did before. Maybe I'll even learn to drive (I'm kind of old for that! :-)
