$2 a month is worth it to me. I like Roadkill and the rest of the original content, and have been paying them for a while now. I'm not liking having to wade through crappy Discovery shows to get to it, but I'll deal until they make MTOD nothing but cable shows, which I'm sure is inevitable.

I remember when Powerblock TV added a bunch of new shows and put all their funding into them, leaving Horsepower and Trucks to wither. Stacey David got a lot of mileage from sponsor shill episodes but it was painful. His current show on his own streaming service is more painful. That man taught me to not be afraid of wrenching

Shadetree Mechanic, from back before Powerblock was Powerblock, was probably the second biggest influence on my wrenching habits after my dad. Just a couple of guys doing normal maintenance and repair work on normal cars, on TV for a half hour minus commercial time. Nothing like that would ever get aired today, especially with a million Youtube videos of varying production quality showing the same thing. I also miss early Trucks and the Jessi Combs era of Xtreme 4x4. The sponsor poo poo was there but it was at a reasonable level and they showed a meaningful amount of the process, where now those sorts of shows are 20 minutes of talking about the product and two minutes of wrenching montage.

The paint on one car probably costs more than my Focus ST based on that video, but it's cool as gently caress. I would love to see that in person.

The shows that are the antithesis of roadkill, fake drama, invented time crunches, TV personalities getting more screen time than the cars. So now I have to dig through a bunch of crap to find a new hot rod garage, roadkill garage, dirt every day or road kill episode. Those are literally the only reason I pay for a subscription. The brand is getting muddied by adding all the lovely dated content. On the other hand youtube sucks for content creators now, google keeps changing the rules and demonetizing videos as well as pushing their own lovely subscription model and original content that no one wants. It's going to continue to fracture and we'll end up seeing more creators moving away from youtube.

tbh i didn't bother researching the situation because it was immediately amusing out of context the first thing i assumed was road rage and/or alcohol. perhaps living in a state that hands out drivers licenses to practically anyone that can afford the transaction fee while seeing several car accidents per week for as long as i can remember has made me too cynical in regards to this kind of stuff e: here's something way less serious that i just discovered exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTV8t-6cOO0 Thief fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Apr 16, 2018 |

Samcrac critiques Russian car repairs. He... seems to approve of most the work, even comments multiple times that the guy is doing very good work that would likely be approved by BMW... he's just more "WTF" at the fact that someone is putting this kind of work into such a hosed up car, plus the glued on roof instead of welded.

Hi, YouTube thread, I found a channel where an Aussie is doing some heavy mods to a Nissan truck I don't recognize. A ton of fabrication is involved and if he's never heard of Binky before, I'd be shocked. Similar senses of humor and production devices (throwing fabbed bits into frame, for example). I'm on episode 4 and it's a real hoot. The channel is called "Dogged Fabrication" and the project is "Project Twin VNT - Twin Turbo TD42 Patrol." click the thing The videos are short, but they're released every month! mobby_6kl posted:Apparently this doesn't happen in the US but here not only is it two months behind the release schedule, they even lock past content. Here's what I see now: gently caress you, motortrend t

I think AI would be very about this guy and his parched-dry sense of humor. Burned through the whole series at work yesterday (work loving sucks) and realized he doesn't have any specialty tools beyond a welder. I never wanna have to lobster-back anything ever.
