    Hey Fella and Fellet! I appreciate the amazing work you do with every video, but especially this Power Tour series. I've never been much of a gear head, but I love old trucks, just never had the confidence to work on vehicles. Watching your catalog the last couple years has made me confident that I can figure this stuff out, and if not, I'll just tap on things with a Tonya Harding, pair of vice grips, or just pretend I didn't see anything and that it's fine - and all will be good, as long as I have a boat gas can in the passenger seat with me, and some of that Marvel Mystery Oil.... nobody knows what's in it, it's a mystery! Also, my teenage daughter and I have always had a hard time finding similar interests, but she also loves your videos - so it's something we've been able to bond over, and speak in VGG-isms together. Anyways, I proudly wear around some VGG merch, it's the least I can do to repay you for the work you do, and joy your family spreads. Keeping my eyes open for a good C20 step side deal without too many speed holes, but plenty of stories left to make.

You prove over and over again that you can have fun in the face of adversity. There's a "never give up" thing going on that hits home for me. I won't bore you with my story because everyone's got burdens to bear. Your knowledge and perseverance get you and your family to and through events HUNDREDS of miles away from home in vehicles so old and/or dodgy that most folks wouldn't trust them to go get groceries. Thanks for the videos and all that you guys do.

      I remember when I was seven years old. I was just starting to get my life together.

      @Vice Grip Garage btw, the 54 Dodge (I drove my car with him) made it through PT, and we just got home. Total miles, 2485! She needs a radiator asap.
