I love seeing you teaching your niece, because even if she grows out of working on car’s she will still have the confidence to believe that she can do anything and that is the greatest thing you could ever give her.
That’s my hope!! Sure appreciate your kind words 💞

Keep improving Aaron ❤
That’s all we can do is be teacher to the children around us !! Awesome ❤
I had a hand in teaching my daughter (now 40) about ham radio....am hoping to leave some knowledge to my grandchildren (ages 13 and { 15almost})
You are the best Auntie in the world! Give your self a break....you are treaching the next generation of automotive enthusiasts. And my compliments to your niece for being a good kid.
I’m so relieved that Aaron is on the mend! Mahalo for this gift you give us. SO grateful to see you ALL thriving and happy!
Glad to hear Aaron is doing well. I loved watching this video, you are so loving and patient with your niece (you are going to be an amazing Mom someday). What fun memories you are creating for both her and you. You guys should start searching for that perfect car that the two of you can work on, then give it to Alaia on her 16th birthday.
Glad to hear Aaron is doing well tell him we are thinking about him and wishing him the best, and you too Emily. It's always a good day when the kid is there to lend a hand.
you are a great teacher Emily, nice to see you and your niece getting things done.
Now I know how you got to be such a great teacher, Emily...from your Mom 😁 Real smart of you both to decide when enough's enough and to pass the lesson on as well!
Also, if I even THOUGHT of folding myself up inside an engine bay the way Aliah did, it would be enough to make my joints ache 😂
Glad the news from Aaron is good. ❤ to everyone.
Glad to hear Aaron is doing better. Knowing when to hold back, is the most adult thing you guys can do. I'm sure you put a load on yourself, to grow your channel, but, sometimes just tinkering with projects is good for the soul. I'm happy to see you smile, and if that means small projects getting done, instead of large scale projects, that's A-OK with me. As always, I'll be here to watch, and if you need help, ask.
❤️❤️❤️
"If you haven't broken stuff, you haven't learned". So true...words to live by. Thomas Edison said "I did not fail, I merely found 100 ways that will not work". Welcome back. So happy to hear Aaron is doing better. Keep teaching "the kid"! She is adorable...and SMART too!
Emily you are an incredible mentor, just trying to help and instruct anything is a feat that is lasting. I want to wish anyone with a heart passing down any information and or instructions, the best! All young hearts and Minds need direction. Whether they take it, or not! But give them a solid Direction in which they will take with heart! And that is the most precious thing there is!
Great to see you back and smiling. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Take one day at a time. And enjoy that family
Wholesome honesty, total love! Keep real love alive! And thank you
Glad Aaron is doing OK! Good for you assessing the load on you and calling the trip off for now! With a little silicone grease you should be able to slide those wires back into the boots then with some careful straightening you can usually get the plug terminals to work ok. (Been there, done that LOL!)
I KNEW IT! The moment your fanny got in that Corvette in California I knew you'd have one of your own soon and here it is. Can't wait to see the work on it.
It's always good to see kids take an interest in cars. I remember seeing her in the early videos, too. It's sad that HS Auto Shop in many schools is considered a place to send the problem kids to. I feel basic mechanic skills will forever be a part of your life. Helps develop problem solving skills, too. Also, who doesn't love an old truck. Looks at all that room in the engine companrtment. They have a built in bench and a tool tray!
Heartfelt honesty! It's all love! Keep on keeping on! Always give a chance to inspire any child in a positive way of learning! Or anyone that wants to learn! Dreams are everywhere! And cars are a lot of Dreams of many!
So glad to hear that Aaron is doing better. God Bless you both and I will keep y’all in my prayers. Thanks for sharing.
Emily the time you spend with the “kid” is awesome. She glows being around you it’s awesome you are sharing your patients and real life with her those are skills so many do not have. Although she probably was disappointed (probably not as much as you were) she understands and loves her aunt
Thanks for the Aaron update. Hoping he's 100% soon.
"Life Lessons".... oh my- how old are you? Gosh golly Wally, so many of us don't learn such a good lesson until we are much older! I finally learned after God shook my world...the 3rd time LOL how to evaluate when it's time to push on or not... great job!
Glad to hear Aaron is doing better, so nice to see you working together with your niece, at times when we think we're helping the young they are actually propping us up .
First I'm really glad to hear Aaron is doing better and glad you are taking a breath when needed as everything always works out .The plugs you took out where a short reach .460 tapered seat plug 5/8 hex and the ones you put in where a 3/4 reach gaskets seat plug 13/16 hex and will not really work and the gasket are just jamming down in to the tapers hole where the gasket surface should have been it was a different style of head. I have seen this before in the years where they were changing from 3/4 reach plugs to .460 small hex tapered seat plug. Later when removing plugs it will be hard as the plug sticks out in the combustion chamber and get carbon-ed up on the threads where they are exposed. In those old low compression nothing will hit as everything has lots of clearance.
Hurray for a new video. Praying for y’all 🙏🏼
Sometimes you just have to say no. Explaining it to the child will be a great teaching effort. Keep Aaron on the mend. Good luck to you both.
I really like how you tell Amanda "you're not the first person to do that" instead of yelling at her! Making the next gen of motor heads the right way!!! KUDOS
Glad to hear the Aaron is doing better, prayers are lifted in you'll behalf. I like these trucks as my dad had a 68 and I had a 70 GMC. I always loved this style of truck. I miss my GMC. You are a good example for your niece, she's lucky that way. Best wishes to you and your family!
So very cool to see you be able to pass on knowledge to your niece through her helping you work on your vehicles. Also great news to know that Aaron is recovering nicely, and you all keep up the great video content!! You rock, Emily, you will do just fine! Don't fret about the exhaust leak, it can be covered in a future video. Hang tough, hon!
Those sparkplugs do not appear to be the correct ones, if there are taper seat plugs in it and you put regular gasket type plugs in it, then it will cause grief. Sparkplugs should be a R45TS rather than a R45T(AC Delco #)that I know of. Keep us posted!
Your Mom is a wise one. ☺️ Praying daily for you my friend. 🙏🏻
Seems to me like your are the angel in Aarons life, your mom's, your niece, and probably all the people in your life who benefit from your spirit, love, laughter, and positive presence....hang in there, and remember you are given the strength to deal with things as they happen. We all have that kind of courage when needed.
Glad to hear Aaron is getting better. With everything on you right now, it can become overwhelming. Deep breaths and relax, God only gives you the load you can handle. Prayers for all of you.
Thanks for sharing a day of wrenching...Always wish you and Aaron the best..Nice to take a break from a busy life..Cheers U 2..
You guys have had a lot going on recently. Here’s hoping everyone gets healthy and back smiling and wrenching on all your cool projects.
Wonderful memory for your niece.
So good to hear that Aaron is doing good. You are a great example for these children, good job. Something I learned as a kid may help next time. Use one of the long straight boots to help hold the spark plug when installing it. It will have enough holding pressure to start the threads and if it is crossthreading the boot will slip on the plug. Keep on keeping on! Love the videos, thanks
glad you guys are done in the valley and coming up to the mountain top again soon.
If you got a solid vette, aside from the eh-bodywork, you'll love it. And yes, you are right. Manual's on the C6 series only accounted for less than 30% of all C6's and C7's produced. Soon in 2023 models, there will be *zero* cars in the US with standard, aside from one or two models of a BMW. I've got a 2007 C6 manual - bought at only 2 years old and still have it. It's one that gives you that _permagrin_ smile every time. Only complaint is if it's not driven fairly often, the parasitic draw on the battery will run it below 10v on startup.
Good luck with all and from all of us that follow you, wishing you the best.
So sorry for what your going thur. Your mom is right kids need to see the struggle to get things done and not reaching your goals . It teaches them patience and emotion to work header to reach them. Praying for Arron and you.
i love how your family is. i been watching you guys a lot love every show. tell Aaron i know how he feel because i broke my back cannot do anything. so tell to relax and heal.
Teach your children well... Good that you've got fresh plugs in the '70 Chevy C30... As far as the exhaust leak goes... That can get fixed in good time... You've got a solid running RV that should last a good while... From the home of PB Blaster Silicone spray... Cleveland, Ohio....
Day by day, you've got this and you do come through in the crunch.
You are stronger than you think we all are.
Central California watching
Sure do appreciate the love, yes sir! One day at a time ❤️
Love seeing you work with 'The Kid', grant yourself some Grace and know that more is caught than taught - you are such a positive influence on her! ❤ Can't wait to see Aaron in the videos again!
Love seein' knowledgeable adults bein' patient and humble with kids. They learn so much faster, and retain so much more, with understanding and encouragement from their teachers. Thank you for your service, Miss Emily. Glad to hear Aaron is on the mend.
I am who I am because of some dude who raised me and allowed me to bug him while working on cars. This is how its done.
Glad you put this out to keep us informed on Aaron. I will keep on praying for his health. You keep teaching Alaia , she seems to be a kid that wants to learn!
I'm so glad to hear that Erin is doing well love him, and you. God bless you and your family, love you guys.
Glad to hear Aaron's doing better! Just a thought, you could always put the truck in the backyard and camp in it for a night with the kid. Growing up we were always camping in our travel trailer, but sometimes during the summer my parents would set us kids up in the trailer and our dad would stay out there with us and we just camp out in the yard which was still very fun.
I bet she'd enjoy that especially if you had a fire pit you could sit around for a while before going to bed in the truck.
Glad to hear Aaron is on the mend. Praying 🙏
I bought my wife a 13 Camaro ss rs , now has 106 k on it , still looks and runs like new :) tuned and has about 550 at the real wheels lol we are in mid 60s :) From MA
You can only do so much Emily . I am old enough to be your father so you have to listen . Your cup is overflowing now with everything that is going on . When I have times like this you have to have faith and knowing at the end everything will work out ..... Love to You and Aaron from Ontario Canada
Sure do appreciate the love and encouragement!!!
The corvette is reminding you that Aaron and your niece, and! Roxy the sexy GTO is your true Love! I have bought several cars. But my faded clear coat peeling 87 monte SS is still my Fav! It's the memories that are priceless.
C6 Corvette!! Now we’re talking! You’ll have a lot of fun with that. The community of Corvette lovers is huge and any modifications or problems you might run into can be resolved easily. I’m looking forward to watching your journey with the Corvette!
From tuning up old cars as a teenager back in the '80s (yeah, I'm old) I used to hate not knowing if my wire engaged with the spark plug. It is so reassuring to feel and hear that click.
I love that the kid was eager to help! Good thing she’s limber👍. God speed to Aaron. Your doing a Great job of teaching the younger generation, keep up the good work. Moms are wise in so many things. One step at a time, time heals all.
Recognizing and accepting our limitations is one of the most important things you can do as an adult. And as your mother said, it'll be a good lesson for the kid to learn from you. Even if yall have to take a break for a while, we've all got your back
Glad to hear Aaron is doing better and great to see you back wrenching my prayers are still with you guys.
Ain't life great? Just seeing you is great. Glad Aaron is doing well, you know there are many prayers being offered. Just do your best, only you know what that is. You're awesome!!!
Hi Emily! You’re a wonderful teacher and mentor. Your niece will always have fond memories. Glad to hear Aaron is doing better. Great stuff! Thanks! :0)
Very impressive. Definitely real great to see your niece be ambitious to learn wonderfully.
The two of you take care of yourselves, and everything will fall into place. Wish you all the best
Em you just brighten anyone day with that smile and positive attitude. Love it!! Keep it up!
Hey soooo glad Aaron is on the mend and doing well. Peace and love to you all
It is so cool to see mother and daughter working on a truck it is so awesome I love you guys y'all are such an awesome family
I used to have a c20 the same color and I loved that truck. I had to care for my brothers kids and had to sell it. I would love to find a camper like that. I am sure if you need time we will be here waiting. You need to take care of you family first. Aaron I have put you in my prayers every since I heard about this. Glad to hear you are on the mend. God Bless my friends.
Cannot thank you enough for your prayers!
Perfect teaching. She will grow up knowing how to wrench on things as she needs to. I am so happy to hear about Aaron. You aren't living until you have anti-seize all over. That's half the fun. Enjoy the time with the kid they grow up so fast. I remember the appreciation a older couple shared, and that was life is great with each other and with that you had everything . Just something that popped in my head. You guys are awesome.
I'm so happy that Aaron is doing better,I'm praying 🙏 for you all and I'm getting a 1985 E350 Winnebago for my own adventures, you guys are an inspiration, God bless Jim
Emily your a great example for the kids! Give yourselves time to get through this tough times. God Bless you and Aaron.
Love seeing you and the kid together. You seem to be a close knit family.
Emily, for standard transmissions the motor will turn over more easily if you will push in the clutch while cranking. You ladies do great work.
Glad to hear Aaron is doing better.
Cool for you to keep your niece learning new skills, and cool to see you working on the C30! I think it's totally cool to have to "call it" sometimes, some days you can do a lot, some days you can do a little, it's all just part of the ride long as you keep your heart in the right spot. Hope yall continue to heal up!
Good to hear that Aaron is on the mend.
You have also learned an important lesson yourself, sometimes life goes faster than your body can keep up with, then let everything fall out of your hands and accept that, I am also working on that process myself.
We all learn no matter what subject no matter what age. Prayers going out!!
I'm glad Aaron is doing better, I had a 70 Chevy in high school and had a 70 motorhome also very cool rigs . Love the videos.
For those oil burners there is a lil cup type of deal that screws in the the plug hole then the plug goes in it. I had to use a couple times. Works pretty usually. Glad to see y'all and love seeing the kid helping
Your awesome!! All of you!! Do what you can ! We will be here when you get back to us !!
I really think that little Chevy Luv needs an upgraded heart. Like a 2.8L I4 out of a Canyon or Colorado. I think that would be such a sweet upgrade that would make it really truck along!
Great episode. Glad to hear Aaron is improving. I feel you on trying to not bite off too much. When I was working on my 53 Chevy pickup this week I wasn’t feeling it and just felt like if I tried to get too much done then I might skip on safety or do something dumb. So I took a break and rested before moving on.
Emily you are an amazing teacher and friend.
You need to take care of yourself and Aaron while he heals. The time will come when you guys are able to do things like you used to. It was definitely nice to see a video from you. But please take care of yourselves. And get that hubby of yours back to 100%.
No. We love you guys! And you take all the personal time you, Aaron, and your family needs. We'll just wait. Everyone's health (mental as well as physical) comes first. Also, chores and family time come before making videos. Best of wishes to all of you. Love your videos. Be safe!
I enjoyed the video, you are a very strong lady. Hang in there Aaron every day is a little bit better. Bill
I’m glad to hear he is doing better
Nice to see you back again, Emily, and glad to hear Aron's on the mend-just like the truck in this episode.😁It's also wonderful that you involve the kids in your videos. You inspire us all! Finnely's cool, too! Hang in there and take care.🙂
You've got your #2 Mechanic partner there with you. She has done a lot on a sorts of vehicles. It sure is neat that she wants to work with you while spending time with you.
Thanks for the great news about Aaron. I imagine that he is going stir crazy having to hold back on his activities, yet that is one part of recovery. He has my thoughts and prayers.
Aahhh.... to be young and flexible again. You are a great teacher. And she's a great student. Glad Aaron is doing well. Sending positive thoughts your way
It's so cool to see you and THE GIRL work on the truck together. Family don't do 5his much anymore. Not many adults take the time to show the neighborhood kids either. This is awesome.
Good fo see your back! We have missed you!!!
Most Corvettes imported in Aus are autos too.
Probably because most of them where bought to cruise in for looks, rather than for spirited driving.
I wonder if it had the wrong plugs in it before or after? Because the different thread length can make a difference to how it runs,
Something that sucks when changing plugs here. Cyl 8 being the rear most slug is under the brake booster on our Right hand drive vehicles.
Always great seeing you and the kid working together
Glad to hear Aaron is coming along, the Kid is still cute as heck wish you luck with the truck and the Vette.
Hang in there. We are in our 70s and you come to understand you just take everyday and make the very best of it.
Good to go on you sweetheart 😘 💕
Neat idea having fun with your niece working on the truck. Learning about older vehicles, simple lots of room to get in with it.
My dad taught me to work on stuff when I was young, probably the best thing that was given to me as a kid.
Feels good hearing that Aarons improving.
Get well soon Aaron, glad to hear good news. You're a very good teacher Emily. That's a very cool camping rig.
Good to hear Aaron is improving. Waiting for the next lesson for "the kid" when working on older stuff and you are tightening bolts, your brain says just a little more -- absolutely don't listen to it! That's always when the bolts snap off.
happy to hear Aaron is doing well God bless yall and your family
I'm glad to hear that Aaron is improving. I love hearing the banter back and forth between The Kid and You while doing something. One thing that's good to learn young is that life is what happens when your planning other things besides the fish will be there on another day.
Happy to hear Aaron is doing well.❤️
Ya know your limits good call on realizing that. One thing that we used to do for our camping fix when the ol cobra wouldn't run is back yard motor home camping with snacks and movies
Checking out them 'safety-toes'.....😆 The ones sitting on that breather cover.
It was awesome seeing you in the Road Kill 57 Chevy episode. That was a really cool surprise.
Wasn’t that special?!
@@flyingsparksgarage Loved it. I'd love to see more collaborations and our best to Aaron and yourself. Take care of yourselves.
Emily, first I love you and Aaron’s channel and sincerely hope and pray that Aaron continues to heal as do you. When a loved one hurts it hurts you too. I am a medically retired nurse due a life threatening illness and my time off work was spent wrenching on my cars, I haven’t been able to get back to either of my cars because I’m still having issues dealing with this illness, hope that I can get back to it in the spring. God bless you both.
So glad to hear that Aaron is getting better nice vett! Love y'all!
