I'm proud of you guys for not including a single fast and the furious scene
Pin this shit
They have videos dedicated to FF on their main channel there is no need to reuse them here.
They made it already
It's such trash, the human lifespan is too short to go over everything wrong with those films.
That would've been 100% shop class
nice to have sandro who’s the goofy guy and paul the bit more serious guy. It’s like opposite attraction, even balance.
"perfectly balanced, as all thing should be"
I like Sandra He is real og LA brat
paul used to be more serious but now he has more fun with the sessions and recording
Much better than the backstreet boy douchebag they still have for some reason
Sandro is the man, Paul is the man.
FUN FACT: Being a Farm Boy, Henry Ford actually designed the Model T engine _intentionally_ to run on various different kinds of fuel that might be found on a farm, such as gasoline, kerosene, even wood gas, and, yes, *corn alcohol.* You see, Henry recognized that since the Earth occupies a finite space, then contents in its oil deposits must be likewise finite. He was the first major proponent of corn alcohol, because of its renewable properties. The more you know!
Please pin this
Being a car enthusiast, I was looking for this comment to see if I was gonna talk about it.
I was going to say the same thing myself. My brother has a 28 T runabout. Great grandpa bough it new, grandpa kept it in the back of the garage, and built a bunch of shaker coils for it. Dad died young, and now Alex has it. We all learned to drive it as kids. We run it off coleman camp fuel and lead additive usually, but it will run off pretty much anything that will burn.
I got a kick out of that scene.
You'd probably get a lot of pinging running a T on straight moonshine, you would probably want to water the fuel down to about 100 proof or so, and retard the spark like... All of it. But yep. It would definitely run.
Another fun fact, related to yours...The biggest financiers of Prohibition were Big Oil Companies, to force automakers to only run on petroleum products
AFAIK he went the other way around at some point because of religion and being pro prohibition
i did some quick math. that '6inch steel plate' would be around 3600 pounds. as heavy as the car itself, all hanging on the back of it. id be amazed of the front tires touched the ground
So they can do burnout wheelies like Dom in fast 1😎 lol😆
It's actually just filled with ramen noodles
yea but Jason's massive pecs balance that mofo out, added to the girl riding shotgun with the massive milk wagons
If it's only as heavy as the car itself, it won't lift the front tires. Plus, there's also two rotary canons on the front that'd help counterbalance more. Not to mention whatever ammunition you have for them.
@@bandana_girl6507 yeah but all that weight is behind the trunk, putting center of gravity way back. sure i didnt account for the guns but those would be like 500 pounds max, MAYBE 1000 with ammo. they're not a solid block of steel like the tomb stone is. plus they're not on the opposite side of the wheels like the block is
Fun fact: for the italian job I remember they had to purchase like 42 Mini Cooper due to the stunts destroying the cars
kinda impressive that it was only 42
The also destroyed that film.
The original is so much bettter.
Correction I had wrong by 10. They used 32
Also they had to make them into EVs to be allowed to drive them in the la underground. The first ev minis
@@Seb-Storm is the king of accurate information. Great work.
To be fair, the coneheads are aliens so it makes sense she would say things oddly.
That was my thought. He said "It's technically correct. It's just not how we would say it." Well she is an alien and look at how her father talks, so I think it's smart writing.
Agree!!!!!!
They need to watch the movie.
I came to comment they needed to watch the movie for it to make sense.
They are not aliens.
They are from the south of France.
Everytime Sandro is on, I feel the urge to do something for the boys.
he makes me want a 40 of Mickey's
Roll one up.
My dad actually rolled back the odometer on their MP truck when he was stationed in Hawaii by driving backwards goofing off. This was during the 60's though. His Master Sargent was not pleased when he checked it in and he went negative miles during his patrol.
There are several cars that run the odometer backwards.
But it's really slow and would take days on a speed where modern plastic gauges would survive
My buddy had an 85 4 runner, which was totalled in a car accident. He out a ton of work into it, rebuilt engine ECT. So he purchased the car back, and got another one with a out 2k more miles. Just for fun, while we had the engine out, we tried running a drill on the soeedo cable, and it did lower it.
We looked a zip tie to the drill handle, and took a break working on the car, and after 2 hours, it only dropped like 50 miles. Fyi, in my state, odometer is only recorded for the first 10 years.
@@felixchausyou could try the electric drill one
@@antoniohagopian213 Oh sorry, I edited my text.
And yes I have tried the drill one and it didn't work.
In few hours it took only less than few hundred miles and the gauge started to make a klicking sound even when running to the correct way.
On a gauge that had a broken speedo I tried running the drill on full speed and the lack of bearings melted the plastic on the numbers axle.
Yeah it will only not work on newer cars.
Sandro, I love him but I didn’t realize how long it’s been since we saw Paul. His dead pan delivery is great haha - must be casual Fridays in the garage/studio lol this episode.
Great to see them both!
Paul, Sandro, and Angelina are the dream team.
You know it's a good show when at the end you go all like "Aw, dude...C'mon, gimme like another ten minutes of this"😆
Matilda, written by Roald Dahl was based in the uk and written at a time when running the odo back via drill was common practice in the uk. To be fair, all 3 elements in that scene were well known to happen back in the day…
Sandro makes this channel worth watching. Keep him on the show!
Absolutely....for the boys:D
And that blonde guy makes it almost unwatchable. Great balance
Only here for Sandro 🤘 For tha Boyz
Sandro is my fave.
@@Furko08 whos that
In Australia it was common practice to cut a car in half if it was in an accident. You'd get rear ended and the smash repairs would cut your car in half and replace the back end with the back end of another car (same model obviously). They made this illegal in the early 00s maybe even late 90s. My first car (Gemini) was two cars in one. And it did split cleanly in half when I got into a minor accident
i work in collision repair and i’ve only ever seen a vehicle break in half three times. first time was a pickup that had a horribly rusted body so when it got rear ended, the bed just separated from the cab. other two times were sedans- one was a challenger that slammed into the back of a box truck while running from the cops & broke in half from the force. the other was a sedan (i don’t remember make/model) who was hit in the front left rear well after running a red light (also running from the cops). technically the car didn’t break in half but it catapulted the engine several hundred feet away. i’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear that everyone in these accidents survived- the guy in the sedan had a broken leg and the girl driving the challenger became a paraplegic but she’s lucky considering she slammed into a stationary box truck going over 100mph without a seatbelt on (there’s dashcam footage of the events leading up to the crash & the aftermath and you can hear the cops immediately call for an ambulance and said to have the coroner on standby bc he was sure she died. the state this all happened in requires a medical professional to confirm death before a coroner can be sent out, which is why the cop said to keep coroner on standby)
I saw a nascar split in half during my first in person nascar race, was pretty cool.
@@dylaroo24 how? that would mean the roll cage broke as well, no?
@@damp2269 it was so long ago, I can’t exactly remember how, I just remember seeing half a nascar being lifted on to the back of truck and taken off the track.
@@damp2269 The race was Pocono, sometime around 2007-8. The car was some kind of blue decal, I can remember the number or driver. I just remember seeing the car being driven away by truck, the crash happened on the back straight so I didn’t see the crash itself, only the car being taken away and seeing it pop out from around turn 3. I was at the finish line from my seat.
It's always a great video when Sandro is on. Working with him would be such a blast.
"Are we doing this the right way or are we doing it for the boys?"
Such a great combo of humor and expertise
half of my complaints about chase scenes in movies revolve around disparate vehicles somehow keeping up, such as a blatantly heavier less powerful car or truck being able to somehow keep up with a lighter, faster, more nimble car or even motorcycle. It really makes suspension of disbelief a tougher sell when you know things the writers & directors don't bother to pay attention to for "plot device"
I don't know much about the H1, but i know a lot about the hummer it's based on. If it's the same set up in that scenario it would hang with that ferrari.
Bigass truck, all the weight in the front, can easily be pushed to 80-90 mph, especially down hill (you ain't stopping though), vs a light car that's bouncing all over the place, can't keep speed because of the instability and the terrain.
To me looking at it, as someone with lots of hill time in the hummers, that one scene makes sense, everything is in favor of the hummer and working against the ferrari. now if that ferrari would have turned off...yea it's all over that hummer is going straight to bottom of that road.
It's like counting shots but for car guys.
Guess you havent seen the movie? Cage took the ferrari to catch up to Connery in the humvee. Connery is beeing chased by the cops too, and drives into and through stuff to make the chase harder. The ferrari is obviously faster, but is beeing slowed down by traffic, cop cars, wrecks, etc, and has to take detours.
Its a Michael Bay movie, so ofc its not super realistic, but the chase makes sense.
@@ThePentosin
1) I haven't seen that movie in like 20 years
2) I was speaking in general, as most movie car chases defy physics and engineering to some degree, but some are just flat out ridiculous as hell
@11:15 - The Coneheads thing actually makes sense. They're aliens. They're supposed to be a "smarter" life form. So referring to an alignment machine to it's parts (Hydraulic, Digital, Radiometer (which i'm guessing refers to the wireless transmission)) kind of ties things together. Then his response is spot on of course because even though he doesn't know what she's saying exactly he knows why he wasn't doing it. 10/10 movie. definitely recommend.
I was going to say this. The Coneheads were aliens and didn't do (or say) things conventionally, which is what makes it a comedy. I still remember that scene where the husband and wife were talking in bed and the camera slowly panned out to show they were standing against a wall instead of laying in bed. Good stuff.
You have great sentence structure
Thank you ..they definitely missed the comedy aspect of the movie👍
Coneheads is a classic... I remember my little cousin blurting out "My dad buys that kind of gum! He keeps it in a drawer with moms hand massagers."
I haven't been in many shops, but the shops I have seen that have alignment capabilities use light, not radio. Basically you put reflectors on the front wheels in front of the machine then turn the wheels back and forth and it will tell you all you need to know on the computer.
All the scenes in The Italian Job are technically realistic because they actually did them, but they went through 32 cars because they didn't usually survive.
I mean, if they had to break 1 per shot, that means it's not possible to keep driving after these stunts. Unfortunately they're still in shop class
That odometer trick absolutely does work but only on cars over a certain age because laws were passed to make Odometers tamper proof or at least not that easy to tamper with.
Not to mention you've got the VIN connected to the important pieces to keep the scoundrels honest.
4:31 The spedometer thing absolutely "does" work on old cars with a spedometer cable. 😀 It does not reverse the mileage anywhere as fast as it shows in the clip. Newer cars under 30 years or so usually use a speed sensor in the transmission. It uses a sine wave, hall effect or optical signal to increase the odometer. You can't drive in reveres to lower the mileage because it doesn't know or care what direction you are moving.
Yep, seen that on an Nissan Micra K11 driving backwards. Never thougt that could work but my Buddy showed me on his little red rocket^^
Easier to pull the odo and move the numbers (old cars) by hand . I never did this.
Sandro got a producer in trouble with that "What part of this is mechanical?" question. Someone absolutely looked at the person who added the clip and asked that again.
I'm surprised Marisa Tomei's scene about the tire tracks from My Cousin Vinny wasn't in it. Always love seeing Sandro.
Love her
They'd have to find a '55 Bel-Air with a factory 327 in it...IYKYK ;)
"The defense is rowung"
@@paulhare662 Thay wHer! But, thairs moa'rr! The two youts would agree as well.😂
The other detail about the Italian Job, those Minis were carrying a lot of weight with all those gold bars.
Ok, I have to argue about one point made during the cone head scene. "I think what she is saying does technically make sense, but is not phrased in a way anyone would ever say." your absolutely right and that is the point, she is an alien and thus not accustom to what people would actually talk like.
I think a counter argument to this would be, based on how the movie portrayed the daughter, she would be the one least likely to have a more alien way of communicating. If that scene was her dad it would 100% make more sense. With the daughter spending her entire life on Earth her communication would/should match that of humans...as did everything else about her.
@@rdroodypoo A good point, I would counter that though with normally she is trying to fit in, in these scene she is not wanting to be taken advantage of. She normally avoids conflicts but here where she is facing one and without being accustom to it defaults to what she has seen most, like her father.
But to be fair I think I'm splitting hairs with my counter argument.
That Italian job movie is also unrealistic because of how much weight the gold would actually be in the back of those cars, those minis would be struggling to get moving
I remember doing the math in physics for a laugh, and one backpack of gold bars came out to something in the ballpark of 300lbs. Make that a trunk full, and you have no suspension left lol.
It is awesome to see how camera-comfortable your guest hosts have become.
Fun fact: most foley (like the pounding on the steel) is less about being real about what the sound is and more about being what the audience is expecting. A 6-inch piece of steel isn't going to make much sound, but someone expected it, so a sound got put in
I used to have a favorite, but everyone on the show is so good. Ms. A and Sandro are legends, but Paul is underrated imo
They tested that half-car thing from James Bond on Top Gear, as I recall. You can make the car work, but controlling it is basically impossible.
The cut-in-half Renault actually works. The guys from Top Gear tested it. With the fuel left in the lines and the filter, you can drive for a short while.
But I would question Bond's ability to steer the car. The front wheels will turn, but the body won't track so the whole thing will crab. Or something. But then again, he is Bond, James Bond so it will probably work.
@@dougerrohmer Cutting a car in half, adding a fuel system, and driving it exactly like how Bond does is something I've seen people do to smashed up old FWD cars. It's a little snakey but the back end rubs on the ground causing drag, which makes the "car" surprisingly controllable.
@@dougerrohmer The fuel in the lines won't last a minute.
You will also lose all brake pressure so lets hope you don't have to slow down before the fuel runs out.
@@BigUriel He's Bond, James Bond. Q gave him a fountain pen with reserve fuel supply built in, and he'd just throw the baddies under the front wheels to stop.
@@BigUrielBrake pressure is not a problem because it's so light, and takes so much drag, it just stops easily.
The odometer goes back if you spin the CORRECT wheel. In the beetle, they use the front left wheel to turn the odometer, if you lift the rear wheels and let they run in reverse, nothing happens, it you turn the front left wheel, you see the magic happening. So it just depends the car you're trying to do the trick and how you're trying.
Engine Masters did a test on oil pans and horsepower. While not a big jump, A good oil pan with kick-outs to reduce windage and a scraper to get oil off the crank will add power.
8:50 Seeing that Escort GT get crushed is the most painful thing I've seen all year.
"What part of this is supposed to be mechanical?" - Sandro (2023) Gold 🤣👌🏼
The coneheads one is phrased in a way no one would ever say it because they're aliens. It's like the Jimmy Neutron "Sodium Chloride" bit.
Dude, its called salt #McSpankies
0:49
Old sprint cars used to have a bicycle tyre pump on the side that they'd pump up round the corners to pressurize the fuel tank to give it some more power
9:00 Sandro’s reaction: Priceless 😂
😂😂😂 “it’s levitating “ hahahahah
Haha, love the ending, that 6" steel plate would weigh around 4.5 tons. In fact I bet it would have the front end up in the air lol
If it's about 3 ft tall, by 4 ft wide, it comes out to 1.46 tons at 6" thick. (Carbon steel being .2818 lb/in^3)
Even then, still unmanageable.
@@iowafarmboy Still probably pulling the nose off the ground given that the whole car weight was probably less than that before adding the shield. At the very least, that would be a handling nightmare...
@@iowafarmboy should be more like 6' by 4' IMO, or 12 cubic feet. I checked and 1 cubic foot is 490lbs, so 6k or 3 tons, so yeah, off but just making a fun point
@@reaganharder1480 but you're not accounting for jason stethams (how ever it's spelt) massive balls. they're the offset. The question is where are you driving this, cause if it ain't a straight down steep af hill you're not moving.
I didnt know Danny Trejo ran an auto shop.
The full quote "The customer is always right, in matters of taste."
the speedometer drill thing does work on older cars. Pre-80s has been my experience.
Could set the mad max guy on the front of the 1/2 car blowing in fuel, it could be real! 😂
I think a better scene from Fury Road would have been when our Warboy is crawling up next to a pair of engines and effecting repairs while they're still running. Probably possible, but holy hell that would take a ballsy engineer.
Werent uncommon at all on early planes.... on some they had to as maintenance ....
Older cars used to be hot tuned, that is, it rolled into the shop, still running the mechanic would take the valve covers off, adjust the valves, put the covers back on, adjust the fuel in the carby, and fine tune the dizzy, add a dash of oil back in and slap the car on its arse as it drove back out.
If all nux was doing for repairs was tying patches of hose over leaking lines, filling in cracks in the pan, and adjusting the belts I’d believe it. You can do a surprisingly large amount of repairs without stopping the engine.
Thanks for throwing in the Days of Thunder scene in for us old folks!
My only gripe on Matilda is that it takes place in the '70s or '80s, when engine computers weren't a thing, and mechanical odometer fraud was a huge dang deal. The movie itself came out in 1996 so that would've been well within the realm of possibility on used cars. Especially pre-OBDII.
I think that's nitro they're spitting into the intake in Mad Max, not gas. You would be able to feel a power difference. I rigged the cold start injector to a switch on an old racecar and when you flipped it, you would start to pull away from the other traffic.
Does Nitro come in liquid form? I always though its a gas in a pressurized tank?
@@RohonNag Yes, Top Fuel drag racers buy it by the barrel
Raw benzene, nitromethane, kerosene, paint stripper... There's a bunch of dangerous stuff you can aerosol into your motor for more power when it's life or death!
1:45
For the 1/2 car it's a Renault 11 and the stuntman is Rémy Julienne, he's the one who created this stunt and he worked on 6 James Bond films, he was even the director on certain scenes.
Disney even called on him to design an attraction at Walt Disney Studios Park, Action Motors! He has more than 1400 productions to his credit, so 400 films!
2:30 Yup, That 1983 Renault 11 had been modified with a small fuel tank tucked away in the engine compartment in order to shoot that particular "half car" scene.
9:32 - I disagree about no damage on the Hummer H1. Unless they modified the hood from the military version (aside from noise reduction), the hood would be laying in pieces in the street after the first hit. Those things are light plastic or fiberglass, and they get torn up REALLY easily (ask me how I know).
Aside from that, though, with the hits they showed? Yeah, she'll keep runnin' for ya.
How do you know?
I always liked getting the answer from both of the guests, this video didn't feel complete, and we missed out on more Sandro whenever it was Paul's turn XD
Dude I worked on Lawless back in 2011 I think as a lighting tech! So happy to see you guys break that scene down with the moonshine bc I always wondered about that. 🍻
6:29 everything at this part us after the heist. Each car was carrying like 3,000 lbs of gold or whatever from the vault.
So, each was about 3,000lbs give or take. Then they lost 200lbs. Then they added a 200lb driver, then 3,000lbs of loot. THEN the cars were flying around as 6,000lb minis.
And, only one of those minis was an S. The others were base model mini coopers with normal aspiration.
the Coneheads clip wasn't supposed to sound like a human would say it. That's part of the schtick of them being aliens.
You need to look at the original Italian Job.
"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!!!"
Wait is Sandro a vampire? He has fangs. Awesome! Explains how he knows so much about everything.
Including being French!
What the coneheads lady said made perfect sense. She named the easiest possible alignment to do: american so engineered to be simple, rack and pinion so easy toe adjustment, macpherson struts so no caster adjustment and an easy camber adjustment. Borgwarner however doesnt make radiometers and you dont use a radiometer for an alignment
Thorough and engaging content! The blend of humor, technical review, and professional advice really makes this stand out. As a car enthusiast, it's fun to hear experts debunk or agree with the mechanics displayed in Hollywood movies.
Now for a pet peeve of mine. People always say “The customer is always right “, but that’s just part of the quote. I was told the quote is “As for what the customer wants, the customer is always right.” That puts a whole different spin on the quote. The person who first told me that said that the job of the salesman was to help the customer understand what he needs not just what he wants.
I've heard "The customer is always right, in matters of taste"
Same as the "Jack of all trades"
@@CyberGenesis1 Isn’t that one “Jack of all trades, master of none “?
@@GameFaceFail That works also.
@@stevedavis5704 "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
"The customer is always right" is the dumbest thing you could say to a mechanic, a dentist or a doctor.
or literally any place where you work with customers. I worked at a resturant for a bit and the number of people who would order medium rare and complain that medium rare isn't pink, and you'd correct them and get "well I'm the customer and i'm right." humans on average are the dumbest creatures on the planet, it's the exceptions that keep all of us alive.
I remember it was the year that I graduated high school early and I'm chilling over at a friends house. He puts in Lawless and I was so excited when the moonshine as emergency fuel scene came up. I was immediately like "put the alcohol in the tank!". Loved it. I also love Mad Max Fury Road. My mind always assumed it was alcohol and guzzlene they were spraying into the intake. I feel like Rick and Morty's Mad Max themed episode did it justice with the getting a mouthful from the flask and spraying it in the intake.
The Ford vs Ferrari was great advice and glad you included it.
Cut and shunts were cars that were made of two halves that were welded together and not well. They were around like nearly 30 years ago during my early childhood in the UK although I don't recall hearing about any cars breaking like the one in the bond film. The car might have ran for a short while in the film as I do remember on a tv show called Scrapheap Challenge where they did a challenge based around limited fuel run.
Oh man, Scrapheap Challenge was a fantastic show, I used to love the wild challenges
With the second clip. That's the beautiful thing about old movies. There was no CG. They rigged up that car to split in half when it got hit. I believe they moved the gas tank under the hood and had just enough gas to do a couple of takes
2:15 there is a CZcams CCTV video floating around from Russia showing an import car hitting a light standard and it split cleanly into two halves. The comments said the news reported it as an illegal cut and shut job where they saw the car in half, ship it into the country as parts, then weld it back together, pay some people off, and its back on the road.
Not for extra power, but I've used a similar trick of "spitting" gas into a carburetor many a years ago. Fuel pump stopped a couple miles from home. Cut the line on the window washer fluid and stuck it into the carb and filled the washer reservoir with gas. Hit lever to "wash" the windows to send fuel to the motor. Boom basically idled that bastard home.
Sandro gets an automatic hit on the like button😁
One of my favorite things about The Italian Job is that each of the minis has a slightly different engine sound dubbed, and IIRC the blue one sounds suspiciously subaru-like ;)
If you are going to show a clip from a James Bond film show that part where a semi truck's frame breaks in half swivels up "for a wheelie" then swivels back down and the truck is fine. I think the movie was called License to Kill.
Happy Holidays Guys! Love the channel and all the content.
The Coneheads clip wasn't bad writing, its the point of ther joke. The whole point of the original skits was that they refer to everything by the literal definition of stuff like calling a potato a vessel for sustenance.
The first one is totally 💯 realistic I’ve actually don’t that with spray bottle (minus spitting the fuel with my mouth) the fuel pump died out n my dads truck and we needed to move it around the property to the garage and the easiest way was for me to sit in the front bumper and spray fuel into the carb
It moved without a problem you just had to constantly spray the fuel in
Edit I forgot to mention the truck was throttle body
They could also be spitting something a bit more volatile in to boost combustion, like kerosene or nitromethane
"I'm gonna damage that pocket.." 🤣🤣🤣
Love catching these videos on my lunch break. Sandro is my lunchtime homie
We need more series with Sandro!!!
Really love this channel for it's accuracy 💯
Quick UK car history lesson : A _”ringer”_ or a _”cut and shut”_ refers to a car that is made from two other cars… Usually two of the same model that have been in an accident, poorly re-welded and sold as a repaired car… absolutely illegal and lethal, but it happened.
What happened in that James Bond movie happened regularly to ringed cars, often without needing an accident.
My grandfather had a white gas car, the would start with Ethyl, he put a tank in the glove box and ran piping laid across the manifold to heat the white gas and it terminated at the carb.
He would start the car with regular gas and then, once warm, switch over to the white gas.
Back then, Ethyl was 5 cents a gallon, white gas was 1 cent for 5 gallons.
BTW white gas is now called Coleman fuel.
To change a millage reading on an older car takes a long time with a drill. I knew a guy that bought a replacement and wanted it to read the same, it took it 18 plus hours and it wasn't even that far off. He said he wouldn't have bothered if he had to do from scratch.
On older car when I replace the odo because it's broken or unreadable, to match the milage it's much faster to move the numbers by hand either by going forward or if you lift the finger that moves the rolls you can roll it back or forward without influencing the next roll up.
"Because I was outback finishing a beer" was hilarious. I need to watch that movie
Wonderful episode guys. Sandro, as always, delivers the funnies. Sandro you're awesome 😊👍
Paul looks like that very big hearted mechanic you'll run into when your car breaks down right in the middle of the Texas/Louisiana heat and you got only 12 dollars in your pocket but he's gonna be happy to fix your car for free. ❤
Pretty sure its water injection in the mad max carburetor, Before the fuel ignites, a fine mist of water is injected into the intake duct. Water's high vaporisation point means that it provides effective cooling
About fricken time you make another video! Sandro’s the man!
Love Donut Media. We need them and all their subscribers to keep us tow truck operators wealthy this holiday season.
Keep buildin and keep breakin, we’ll be there for you guys
Go fast, don’t die! Love ya! Happy Holidays!
Awesome video again boys! Love the guests! Pual and sandro are favorites
That boy Sandro back🙏🏽
great episode - I love how they pointed out the same thing that's always perplexed me, which is that these movies have enormous budgets and they spend so much time and money to the writers and the editors and all along the way, nobody can take 10 minutes to validate the "gearhead talk" and write something that makes sense.
The full saying is "The customer is always right in matters of taste."
I actually have seen footage of a car getting ripped in half from an accident. It was a chop shop car, that had had the front and back cut apart, and then welded back together. Got t-boned in the back half and it ripped off.
With Days of Thunder, you guys missed one of the most famous cheats in racing back in the day they turned parts of the roll cage into the fuel line for additional fuel storage.
I've seen a car (Jetta II) that was in a wreck that was cut in half like the Renault in the Bond movie. Though it got cut in 2 by sliding sideways and hitting an elevated fire hydrant that cut the bottom of the car then it hit a phone pole that split it the rest of the way into 2 pieces. But it certainly wasn't driving anymore after being split in 2.
When I was I kid I saw a wrecked car, something small (perhaps a Peugeot 106) that was cut in half by a crash with a tractor (longways) but it wasn't a clean cut and one side appeared to be completely missing.
I think it killed the driver because I didn't see them and the farmer was injured sitting at roadside.
It really made me appreciate how dangerous being on the road is especially around farming vehicles.
One of the few things that makes me smile is a new "Real Mechanic Stuff" video!
Good to see Sandro again!
Sandro is back baby lets go
Re winding the odometer back with a hand drill, this works on old cars with purely mechanical systems.
It's so wild watching James in Key and Peele compared to now.
Great movies chosen from and great points made 👍🏼 awesome video!
How to fix green screen green edges on the masks.
- Lumetri color, curves section
- Hue vs Hue curve
- pipet the skin color to get the skin tone node line
- make another node a little to the right of the right most node
- drag the second to right most node up and to the right a bit until the green edges are gone
- do it all on an adjustment layer and do multiple lumetri color effects, one for each person in frame
by the way, no disrespect, I just learnt how to do this like a week ago lol 🙂
Not even all that. Just better green screen lighting technique. Avoid backspill etc
The answer to the question of "Don't they hire people to tell them these things?" is that they do-but often directors and the people running the show disregard that advice if they're looking for a specific look, feel, or sound in the movie and they don't think most people will care.
These are my favorite reaction guests but Sandro should have his own series his humor and knowledge are so damn enjoyable!
Im a simple man, I see Sandro i like the video and have a smile on my face !
