I would have never known you were battling health issues. Thanks for all the PT content as it really helped get my son's car up and running which will now be passed to my other son for his first car. I wish you all the best and sincerely hope your health issues can be resolved some day.
Thank you. I love hearing stories like this and knowing that my videos have actually helped people. Yes, you never know with the advances in modern medicine, they might be able to 3D print me a new spine in the future or something lol!
I started watching for your PT Cruiser tips but continued watching because of how genuine you come across. Thanks for past videos and for future ones with your son. You are in my prayers.
Cheers Matt for your informative PT vids. Simply the best channel on the subject! What you taught me has saved me a pretty penny! The Neoru... Bloody hell, can I borrow it till next Tuesday All the best from downunder 🦈🐍🕷️
I'm so shocked and very sad to see you experiencing pain. I hope you get better daily after you have more resting. I will definitely stick around for more from the garage.
I am hoping and trying to get better. I'm doing some light traction, bed rest, exercise and good diet. But I'm still going to have to take it really easy the rest of my life or the same thing is just going to happen again. I'm glad to hear you are sticking around, definitely more content coming. We even have an exciting new car coming up on the channel.
Thank you that is great to hear. Sorry you have had to suffer similar. I talked to my Doctor about fusions, but it would raise up my hinge point so much it would just pop out the next joint after the fusion.
Sorry to hear that Matt! Your physical and mental well being are the most important things! I have some serious issues with my lower lumbar and knee, mostly from work, but your problem seems a whole lot worse. I still have my PT !
Thank you and great to hear you still have your PT! They're starting to get a little more scarce in my area so I'm getting excited now when I see one on the road. Make sure you look after that back, that's a big part of my problem is I always overdo it and hurt myself...
Your videos Matt have inspired me so much, the first of them was the purchase of the Lincoln Versailles that I followed with great interest, and little did I know that a few years later I would actually purchase it from you, and continue to Love it and bring it back! It was wonderful to meet you and see your garage in person! I was not surprised to learn about your Saskatchewan roots, especially by your genuine down to earth and humble personality. Thanks so much again for the courage to share your story ❤️ and sharing your passion with us all! Whenever you come back to Sask for a roadtrip please comeby and see us in St. Louis! Our continued prayers for you 🙏 going forward my friend, Cheers🍻
Yes, I am very thankful. The channel has brought me some great friends, including you Chris. I can't say for sure exactly when but we will certainly take you up on that invite one day. We would love to do an update video on the Versailles, that car was very close to Nash's heart.
Having a bad back is no fun. I worked on a garbage truck shortly after high school and my weakest link was my back. Today in order to get out of bed and function normally I do stretches but haven't been doing them lately as they take a lot out of me. Lord I pray that you will touch Matthew from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet and heal him. In Jesus name I pray.
Thank you Martin. I have some bungee cords set up to pull on my feet and a cot so that I can lay down and stretch myself, seems to be helping a bit. Thanks for all your support over the years.
@@CarswithNash Years? Wow. Time flies when you're having fun. It's been enjoyable and I look forward to see how you handle the next phase, sometimes we have to make adjustments and then we continue on. Happy Motoring.
Aloha Matt, I can totally relate to not showing it when I wasn't feeling my best. I feel you when you talk about back issues & pain. I totally appreciate all that you've done for our community. My warmest Aloha to u & ur Mom! TY & Much love to you both! No apology needed ever!! UR very much appreciated!! Wishing u all the very best!💓💓💓
Hi Matt. So sorry to hear about your health and back problems. Your videos are great and have helped me tremendously with my 05 convertible. Stay strong, I hope you get better. God bless, John in California.
Thank you Matt! Big time gratitude for all your help and guidance. You are way cool in my book, no apologies, back pain is freaking horrible. Sorry about that, and I hope it feels better or heals. Bless you.
You are the reason i could keep my pt cruiser going, love and appreciate you for your hard work! I am praying for you and your family as you all go through this
Damn buddy, I fully related to this. I have a rare form of MS and sometimes it takes me days to finish the smallest task. I've gotten to the point where I just have to pay someone to work on my cars instead of fixing them myself. I never mentioned it on my channel because, like you said, thats not what my channel is about. I hope you feel better and definitely make some cameos in Nashes videos. Stay well, brother!
I am so sorry to hear this! I actually believed I had primary progressive MS for many years because I have a lot of symptoms besides back pain. But I believe they are all caused by this and probably my spinal cord is getting pinched at times and causing similar symptoms to an MS patient. I also have a few relatives with MS, definitely not a fun one.
I got my first car at 16, 4 years ago. It was my precious pt cruiser. I found your page and have been following ever since. Your videos have been amazing and honestly have allowed me to keep my car going. It’s sad to see the pt cruiser content go because it’s very hard to find good videos. But your well being is definitely more important. I hope for the best for the rest of your journey!!
This is a good reminder for me to get my back checked out. I don't think mine is as serious as yours, but I definetely have a lower back issue that causes issues daily and has for quite a while now. I've just been tolerating it but I should get it looked at by a doctor. Hopefully it doesn't get too much worse. I'd definetely try to get some other professional opinions on treatments or things you can do for it if I were you.
Yes, you definitely want to get that checked out sooner than later. I highly recommend planking daily, It's the best way to build core muscles without injuring yourself.
@TheMattsGarage yeah, planking is great! I exercise a little every day and try to take care of back as best as I can. I still should get it looked at because it is getting worse as age. I've just been avoiding it because I'm not sure what can be done about it, but it's better to get it checked out to see what's actually causing it.
what a tough choice but the best one. Live your life to the fullest, spend it all with family and loved ones. we will manage! You've helped me with my PT a lot, and ill still keep sharing my experiences and projects with it on your facebook page for other fans and maybe your entertainment. Good luck to Nash! he has a good mentor. Best of wishes to !! Coming from a family of doctors, I would not tell you what to do but would suggest possibly asking your doctor about or considering moving to warmer climate, this might ease your life moving forward somewhat if possible. Thanks got everything Matt! Prayers from the Holy Land!
Thank you for everything on this channel is showing me PT Cruiser stuff means a lot. Health is everything take good care of yourself always be into what you're good at one way or another
Matt, thanks for your PT content and all other content. Your health goes first now. Take care of yourself and your family. Greetings from The Netherlands!
Nooo Matt man. Sorry to hear this bud! Man I have battled back issues my whole,life. Most surgeries have helped tho. 3 so far. I am so sorry you cannot be helped with surgery. Maybe you can make this work with your new idea. I like it. As long as we hear your voice and knowledge I think it will work out. Congrats on 15k subs. That’s great.!! Be well friend
Thank you Joe and so sorry to hear that you are also suffering. The way my doctor explained it is because that chunk of bone has been missing my whole life, so my spinal cord has grown to fit the cavity, so there is no room to put any pins or anything there now because they would be touching on the spinal cord. Yes, I will still be on the channel, pretty much in every video I would think, I will probably do some more car stories, car reviews and anything else I can manage.
Thank you for your help with the PT's...sorry to about your back ....I have a problem with my lower disc slipping out...I live on anti-inflammatory pills and a heating pad ....best wishes for you!👍
Matt Im so sorry to hear. I just learned of you a few months ago when I was searching youtube for a tutorial explaining how to replace the timing belt in a 04 PT Cruiser because mine snapped when I was driving. Not high rpms really, if I recall correctly it had just shifted into second when I felt a sorta tug, like shifting does, and I had no power, like running out of gas. I was having gas gauge problems, replaced fuel pump 3 times and cant get a proper reading so i thought I was out of gas but I just got some and thought theres no way I was out of gas. Pulled over very quickly, put car in park and tried to turn it over and got a spinning noiise as I turned the key. Maybe 25 mph at the most at an easy take off and 7 tries later trying to time it correctly with the marks lined up and moving it started. It is slightly off at an idle almost like it wants to die sometimes but 4 months now, 5000 miles and it hasent stalled once. Getting rougher though every time start it. Sometimes have to hold the key over longer and it wont catch, sputters but fires up the second time right away like it should.Sometimes it starts right away like it should, what do I do? Leave it? The new tensioner got sabatoged so I used the old one. 103 on the odometer when it snapped. My gut tells me to change the tensoner and time it correctly but Im worried something will happen and I cant afford to be without a vehicle. Also when I shut the hatch or the back doors sometimes the fuel pump activates with the key off. A couple months ago the ASD fuse in the engine comp. blew and a few days ago again because the car died and it like I had no battery. replaced the fuse and its fine. Yours thoughts kind sir???
So sorry to hear about your health . you hid it very well. I will miss you & your content, but respect that you have to make changes . I hope your channel continues to grow, you deserve it.
Very sorry to hear it, I was just beginning to enjoy and use your great knowledge. Hope and pray for you that maybe there will be a miracle. Life can and does present us with great trials and your stoical strength will help you find a rewarding activity. God bless you and keep you.
I'm definitely open to a miracle! Please do stick around though, because I will still be in the videos, Not sure if we will be doing many how to videos, but we have talked about maybe doing that sometimes and I would be the voice and Nash would be doing the work.
That was why we ordered the tests, because the plan was to refer me to a neurosurgeon, but my doctor claims it is cut and dry that they will not operate because the root cause is the spina bifida and he claims because the bone has been missing in that area since I was born my spinal cord has grown to fill the void, so there is no room to have a supportive joint there at this point.
I have had MRI'S in the past as well, but they are different. For a bone scan, they inject you with a radioactive dye and then the scan is quite similar to an MRI machine, but it shows the bones really good instead of the tissues like an MRI does. Apparently the radioactive dye goes to the areas of irritation and highlights them on the scan. It's what they use to detect things like osteoporosis.
Buddy I'm best drummer on earth,, U inject BPC 157 direct into u back spazz muscles it's necessary enhancements to heal u can add test h g h into the stack or just the peptides why because it works

I'm curious why disc replacements like "prodisc L" isn't an option, have you spoken with a neurosurgeon?
That was why we ordered the tests, because the plan was to refer me to a neurosurgeon, but my doctor claims it is cut and dry that they will not operate because the root cause is the spina bifida and he claims because the bone has been missing in that area since I was born my spinal cord has grown to fill the void, so there is no room to have a supportive joint there at this point.
@@CarswithNash Damn dude, still I'd get a second opinion just to be 100%.
When you say' "bone scan" Do you mean MRI or is that two different things?
I have had MRI'S in the past as well, but they are different. For a bone scan, they inject you with a radioactive dye and then the scan is quite similar to an MRI machine, but it shows the bones really good instead of the tissues like an MRI does.
