      In order to build a vehicle with your boy all you have to really do is pick up the chilton repair manual then go at it. If you need welding or anything speacial bring someone in or you can learn to weld also. You're a DR. so i know you can do just about anything you set your mind to.

      Too true. All that safety gear has made cars much heavier, less fuel efficient, much harder to maintain and repair and much more expensive. Sounds awful, but when you see a wreck like that and know that everyone walked away you know it was all worth it. You can't put a price on that.

      I still think about an accident I came upon soon after it happened where the doors were open with the driver laid across the back seat. Turns out a wife was following her husband in another vehicle and when she didn't arrive behind him he went back to find her dead in this accident. Someone driving too fast crossed into her lane at a curve. A time seat belts were just coming on the scene in cars and some vehicles people had did not have them or were not incined to cede to the idea of being strapped in. So glad all are OK in this accident.

    First, I agree, thanks for letting us know Michelle is OK first. Second, it is not a good thing to find out how well the airbags work, I grew up riding with my Dad in a tow truck back in the late 60's and early 70's, a collision like this would have cost lives. Michelle, I am so glad you are OK, you are a big part of this channel, and just so it's said, I like your laugh. You will find over time that the fear, seeing the car coming at you, will arise at the weirdest times, warn your family that there will be freakouts down the road. They will pass. I enjoy the content your family puts out, it's entertaining and educational. I look forward to more. Mick

    I like how Grayden says if you give him something, it’s gonna get broke. Instead of fussing at him for that, Paul takes the better approach and shows him how to fix it. Things are gonna get broke and you have 2 choices: fuss about it or tear it apart and learn how to fix it. All of Paul’s kids seem to be pretty good with their hands fixing stuff.

      Thank God Michelle's OK. Was in a similar wreck back in October when two teenage girls lost control, jumped the median and hit my 2013 Ram 1500 truck on the same corner as Michelle's SUV.
      I figured it for a total but their insurance company authorized $20,000 in repairs and a rental truck just like mine. Truck was in the shop for 4-1/2 months and it was a total swap to a whole new frame plus new body parts. Supply chain issues caused the repair to drag on so long. The shop said the insurance company opted to repair because of the value of used cars now.
      Got my truck back good as new. So it cost them $20,000 for repairs + over $5000 in rental truck fees + $2000 in cash to me for Diminished Value.

She is so caring, eloquent and kind about her description of the other driver's fault in what could have ended in tragedy, Michelle takes the " proverbial high road. I don't personally know any of you but when we watch you fine folks every week and you share everything about not only your lives, your kids, your friends and family, this story just had me ... emotional.

    Very glad she's ok. My wife was hit by a drunk and it really came close to killing her. She spent a good while in the hospital and had to deal with some surgery. So the fact that your lady was in that bad of an accident and came out with that little of an injury is a real blessing from God. You guys stay safe and always thank the Lord for his protection. Be blessed.

    Michelle, I'm glad that you are all right. I'm with you on seat belts, sister! When I was 16 years old, back in the fall of 1966, I got to watch one of my buddies break the windshield of the car I was driving with his head, because he didn't have his seatbelt on. I had a nasty purple stripe across my hips for a while, but that's all. My friend, also, had a complete recovery, as did the mom and daughter in the other car. I have =never= in all the years since then, driven a car with anyone in it who didn't have all the belts available properly fastened. Bless you, and all yours! ❤️
