Hi
Where have you been Chris
I Like You Videos! :D
Good deed Brother.
anyone else's eyes watery at the last 5 minutes? 😭
Does the guy who controls the official CZcams account drive an Escape 😭
whadda hell
CZcams employee wants their car maintained like Chris's are.
True
What da hell is CZcams doing on CZcams
I like how chris just casually just put in how to change a whole turbo in this general maintenance video 😂
Fr. Never offer a Ford to someone you love.
@@antonio-andresfortezastefanova or just don't give them a car with a turbo as their first car, especially with no mechanical experience. Like a second gen Escape would be much more simple, and will definitely last them 300k miles when cared for
@@mravocadoman2904 I spent $1200 on my first car, it was a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege, had a turbo and was a 5 speed, worst and best decision I ever made and wouldn't do it differently other than keeping the car because I could've fixed it up and it'd be a race car right now. Im 21 now, I got that car when I was 16, I've had 4 cars since so ig for long term ownership Im not the best for advice but most of my cars have had 190k+ miles except the protege which was at like 136-7k, just had boost issues and would have electrical surges; after replacing the clutch and transmission that I blew doing a burnout at school, lighting everything up bright as shit and popping headlights/taillights when hitting boost it was a shit show. I got an Impala now making 305hp and its amazing ngl, thing smokes most cars Ive pulled on.
@@mravocadoman2904For a first car NA is definitely the way to go 😁
JESUS CHRIST died for you in a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and is The LIVING GOD. Repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in a prayer and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and also turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You.
Easily top 3 best CZcams videos I’ve ever watched. Information, passion for your craft, extremely detailed work, and a big heart. Love your videos !
Thanks a lot!
What's crazy is that a dealership didn't even bother to change the air filters, the broken lights or check for recalls before trying to sell it for 12k... which is still 4k more than what they probably made money on too. On the other hand, awesome work! A beautifully heartwarming and interesting video, watched it start to finish and didn't even realize an hour went by.
Same here! Time flew and I felt like I was truly learning something useful!
And the seller probably cleared the error codes before selling the car, or the auction before them cleared the codes, since Chris didn't see a turbo error code until after he owned the car a bit. So that indicates the problem was already present but the code was cleared. (It was already broken so the code should have already been present)
Yeah but he said he got it for a good price and they supplied a check list of the cars defects so yeah
Absolutely incredible. Not only did you buy the car for them but essentially did like $15,000 worth of labor and repairs. The world is a better place because of people like you man.
I agree with this, but cant help to feel like people like this aren't really and fairly appreciated... it's always a thank you and forget you a week later. That's why I feel its only fair to give donators write offs.
In poor countries a donation like this would have you be a family friend for life, but internet and modern money makes ppl feel this stuff is more normal and becomes undervalued.
It was a solid vehicle with just regular maintenance needs aside from the turbo replacement. $15,000 is a major overstatement, but I don't think that matters. What matters is that the family got a fantastic, reliable car when they needed it most.
@HazewinDog he's a noob just basic maintenance. This POS escape transmission won't last long so a pointless venture
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks You calling ChrisFix a noob?
@@snooder557 no the original comment said he did $15k in maintenance
What a stand up guy. No fancy shops no fancy machines. Just good old hard work
u smell like kaka
Crisfix is definition of elbow grease
The first 6 minutes are ads. C’mon 😂
Would’ve been better if he would’ve hired Xzibit to come through ask her what she likes and then completely make the car unpractical with hilarious add-ons. But I appreciate the philanthropy nonetheless.
Because hardwork always pays off
As a combat vet and retired Soldier, I cannot express how amazing this is. ChrisFix, you are the epitome of Selfless Service. Keep it up brother.
Thank you for your service! Thanks a lot!
I’m one of those people who likes to watch car videos while I work on my cars.
I’m currently working on my GTO when this video popped up, I couldn’t help but to tear up as I was wrenching, still am now as I type this.. awesome work man,been submitted for years your videos always hit home right when I feel down. Much respect.
How I use to love riding in a goat!
Thanks so much for doing this, dude!
Wow! Super cool from your side !
Chris has always helped small and poor youtubers
@@your-mom_was_hereyeah a P1 is definitely for a poor person 💀💀💀
@@Ahsaniscool987only peasants drive a P1, I drive a P50
You’re welcome
This feels like the culmination of all the good car tutorials you've done over the years. All that hard work, trial and error has the power to change lives.
Wtf
That's exactly what this video proved. When you work on your craft and perfect it you put yourself in a position and to give. I recommend watching Dave Ramsey here on CZcams. He shows that you can be a regular person working a regular job and afford to give to people in need. No one has to be rich to give to charity 🎉
I just realized I have beed watching you for more than five years, a little before your dream car video came out. You have always been a inspiration to me, because my dad is a mechanic in the military, I also wanted to know how to fix things, and I came across you. I would always watch you on my dads or mom’s phone. Without you and my dad I would have never had the inspiration of loving cars. I hope this 2$ helps, and thank you for always helping me out, and all of us out- I went back to check and i just realized that I have been watching you since your “how to strip a car” video. I will be honest and say I stopped watching when your driveway video came out, because it was like 2 months and you did not post a new video, and I just came back because you clicked in my mind, “wait, who is chris” and I typed in “chris” then you popped up! Ngl, I was hopping around😂. Oh and congrats on 10M subscribers, and I think whistlin diesel needs your help… his c10 is destroyed, and all of his other stuff is kinda… not so well. Oh and, he deff needs help with the monstermax! It would be a crazy colab, the fixer with the destroyer! Have a nice rest of your day chris! See ya next vid (my bad if this makes no sense, I typed this on a phone)
Thanks a lot!
@@chrisfixno problem! I’ll always be a fan!
@@chrisfix how are you
I’ve been watching your channel for years now and you are the best mechanic CZcamsr ever. Everything that you taught me and everybody else was extremely simple, thoughtful and reliable. now I’m ready for my first car. Thank you For your service.
Watching Chris fix after a 2 months without touching a phone hit different I missed this guy
Military??
@@chrisandrews2980thought that was just socials?
I was just gunna say bootcamp? 😭
Lol guess I'm not the only one thinking military
Me too
As a disabled veteran, I really appreciate what you did for them. Good man!
Salute
o7
thanks for your service! I wish our awful government took better care of you. over 100 billion dollars to Ukraine and nothing for Veterans. It angers me so much
How many deaths worldwide is the US military responsible for? Its one thing to defend a country, its another to be a mercenary.
Way to go Chris! 😁Found this... now binge watching your excellent vids!
When pre filling the oil filter before installing fill it from the outer holes and let the oil soak through, filling at the middle is just putting unfiltered oil into the engine
Never thought a chris fix video would cut onions man. Amazing job wish more mechanics were like you! You rock dude!!!
Thanks!
Didn't expect I could sit through the whole 1 hour video, without skipping ahead. Just great quality from start to finish!
Thanks a lot!
Man I didn't realise it was a hour long video.....time went by so quickly....such an amazing video from start to endd !!💚
Lol I didn't realize it was an hour long until I read your comment 😂
Same
Same here
ChrisFix called it the Prndle. I'm so proud.
i thought - what happens to the S on this car!
"would you like AMMM??? or FMMMM??"
PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL DRIVE AND LOW!!!!
London Tipton would be proud
I thought it was back in the early 2000's on sister sister where they were learning to drive and she called it a prindle. At least that was the first time I ever heard and I still call it that lol
AMAZING what he did to this car. It turned a BRAND NEW car. Perfect!!
The pure joy and astonishment on their faces was priceless. What an incredible act of kindness and generosity!! Blessings! ❤❤❤
I’m a 53 year old construction worker and you had me crying. I enjoy watching your videos with my son and then we go and clean up and maintain our cars. Thank you
Hes a blessing to us most men wouldn't admit that but you did thank you for this comment ❤️💯
If this channel never existed, I would’ve lost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Every time I tried getting my car fixed at a shop, I was screwed over by shady tactics from different shops. Not only that, I’ve actually made thousands upon thousands of dollars buying and fixing up cars and selling them watching these videos for reference. Keep doing what you’re doing. It really helps us who aren’t car savvy.
so did you donate then
@@clipsforfriends3513bro what?
@@clipsforfriends3513they sold them. There was no obligation to donate them.
You should take your car to brand specific specialists rather than random garages.
I’m excited to see another Chris fix video. Thanks to you I’ve learned how to work on my vehicles, clean installations, and proper working. Thank you so much Chris ❤️
Thanks for all you do for us, ChrisFix! You've taught me so much about cars and I can't thank you enough.
This is the first car video over 50min I have watched without a break. You deserve my like and subscription.
Thanks a lot! It was 11hrs of video condensed down into just under an hour so I try really hard to streamline things so I don’t waste your time or make it boring.
Holy. I didn't even realize this video was almost an hour until I saw this comment. I was so immersed I thought it was a 24 minute video
@@chrisfix even if the video was longer, people will watch it just to hear that soothing voice of yours tell them how to do amazing things on their own! You're the G.O.A.T of automotive maintenance videos and I know I speak volumes for the community when I say this, but PLEASE DO NOT GO ANYWHERE
We all love your content and this video just reinforces that fact.
@chrisfix
Thanks a lot for videos like this. The amount of hard work and dedication you put into fixing theses cars, can only be matched by your passion. Keep up the good work bro.
@@christianmedina7670
Likewise. I only realised at the end. I was even pausing to follow the checklist and see what we have done and what we're going to do next...
Chris I work in the automotive field specifically a ford dealer and let me just say good work on the car everything you did was spot on! Helping out a family and charity for such a good cause is truly what makes you one of my favorite CZcamsrs and car guy.
@@aliwaheed2501yes, it is better to do flush, but if you don't have a machine, this is better than nothing
@@aliwaheed2501bruh
what did he do wrong?@@aliwaheed2501
I must say that Ford seems really poorly designed from a maintenance perspective. Almost seems like it was intentionally designed to be difficult to work on 🤨. Like that coolant fill cap could easily have been put in the other corner instead of under the plastic cowling.
You should know these escape blow transmissions like nothing are huge lemon
Hi Chrisfix, you have been my inspiration since I was like 12ish when I started watching CB into the channel and it is great seeing your content thriving! I want you to be appreciate by everyone here!
I always come back to ChrisFix videos :) I've been following this channel since I got my first car in 2010/11. Had another YT account then. Always get so much info watching these videos! Greetings from Europe.
Chris, just wanted to thank you for all the help. Ive kept my 250k mile LS400 on the road using your videos as a guide for most jobs. Saved thousands of dollars.
Have a wonderful day.
And it will be at the road until it breaks
@@OverTheHorizon840 it's a beast, and drives great still. No rattles, everything works, even the leather looks good
Well, it's a Toyota, so is not like it needed too much work to stay on the road hahaha, those LS400's are literally tanks on wheels and can get to 1 million miles without a sweat!
@@joealex65 had to do a total front end rebuild as well as rebuilding strut assemblies on all 4 corners, brakes, alternator, and a starter . Thats over 5 yrs time and its all wear items, really
I wanted one of those so bad. Unfortunately, I needed a car quickly, the only avaliable fun car was a 6spd toyota celica gts. Not an ls400 but still a bullet proof toyota.
It is 3 am. I have school tomorrow. I should be asleep. I’m watching maintenance videos and being amazed at a community coming together. Good job Chris. You’ve made a big, personal impact on that family. Especially the young boys
Thanks a lot! Go to sleep lol
@@chrisfix i bet he got slapped by his teacher lol
@@chrisfix I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionises the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and i don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. i will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? Im struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathising her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now.

The graphics, the animation, the music, so much thought was put into it. This has remined me that you can do anything you put your mind to. Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better.

This is a very heartwarming vid... God bless you Mr. Chris & all the people that contributed to provide this family with a reliable car. 😊❤👍
Honestly Chris, I don’t really get moved or motivated a lot. When it comes to “influencers, entertainers or educators” asking for money for causes or themselves. Yet you’ve always had my respect and follow. I’m struggling atm. Yet I’m willing to donate to this cause. Under my father’s name.
Always followed the idea of. Helping each other is the key to a better future. My dad thought me that.
He's a multimillionaire chill out 😂
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks And yet he still uses the money to help us out. Buying a new car, along with the tools and materials to fix it isn’t cheap, but he does it to us viewers learn how.
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks Not every multimillionaire does it either. Putting positivity and hope into the world in action is better than any slogan or signalling.

thank you Chris!!! ive recently gotten my first car and this was very helpful for mostly everything!! very grateful for what you do 🙏
I decided to look for videos on changing a brake calliper because i don't know about anything related to vehicle repair and maintenance. I came across your video and went down the rabbit hole.

From a vet with friends who've given the ultimate sacrifice and left behind wives, sons, and daughters; thank you Chris.
Chris, I don't have the words to describe how big influence You have on the lives of others people.
This is big what You've done for this family.
You're like a role model for me, and kind of a father that I didn't have.
I love cars since I was a kid, I had an old Peugeot but didn't have any ratchet or socket.
I've literally cried first time in my life when I saw that toolbox for this family.
Since I've watched Your videos I saved some money to buy some tools and I'm not affraid to work on anything car related. Kind of like father which shows to a kid first steps.
You're the most inspiring person I know. I take off My hat to You.
Don't ever change.

just saw a compilation of your intros showing you slowly becoming more happy with each iteration as your channel grows. keep up the good work.
Been going through a really hard time recently and this video really helped me out a lot Chris. It gives me hope that one day I may be able to bless a family one day God bless you!
Clicked for the maintenance, stayed for the story. You’re doing great stuff, Chris; I can only imagine how thankful that family is for the excellent work you did!
I absolutely love how ChrisFix has far more subscribers than major recording artists. Good for you man; reward for being cool, calm, collect & most important… sticking to the issue 🔧
Thanks!
You've recently inspired me to super clean my interior. And this video here... is amazing. So much info... I've never done any car work but I'm hoping to start trying with your helpful videos.
I’ve been watching your vids for a while, never knew we’re from the same area! I got my car’s remote start done at Tronix and was planning on getting the windows tinted this summer, really great place!
Blows my mind other, smaller, auto CZcams channels hate on Chris. There’s nothing to complain about! Excellent video.
Edit:
I tried to explain the hate I’ve heard and from who down below to a few other people!
what do they say?
man i remember when chris had less than 100k subs lol
Never ever in my entire life i've seen someone hate on Chris
Who hates Chris? 🤬
People say he makes car repair seem easy when it’s not but that’s what I like most because it actually makes it seem possible for the average person.
Chris, I've been following you for many years. This is likely your greatest video ever. All the introductory repair information in one video as well as an incredible story of charity topped off with the best charity request I've seen in years. Bravo. You've earned every like, subscription, and dollar of this one!
I doubt he will see this, but something I never see any mechanic do that at least I believe would be beneficial, is push the old bad fluids out like the old oil, transmission fluid, etc. A perfect example of why you'd wanna do this is right in this video when he checks the transmission fill level, a bunch of old black gunky liquid comes out, which otherwise would've been left in there if he hadn't checked the fill level, and even after doing so there is still likely a lot of the old fluid in there.
Now I'm not saying to, for example, to do a double oil change just to clear out the old liquid, but what I do is let the oil drain all the way, then add in a bit of new oil with the drain still open so the new oil can somewhat wash out the rest of the old stuff. Just curious on others thoughts on this
You can do a complete transmission flush but it involves removing the pan or doing several transmission oil changes. I think for an introductory prep of a car for someone this is perfectly adequate.
In automatic transmissions, you should not do a complete change until u do it with machine esp in a high mileage car as the small ports for fluid movement might get blocked dye to debris
The better way is to do a change which dilutes older dirty fluid while not doing a very drastic change altogether
The new fluid will still do job much Better
For a complete flush, u can change fluids 3 to 4 times and still some old dirty fluid will remain@@pcmasterracetechgod5660
Hi Chris, just want to say your videos are first class/informative for all. It was a pleasure last week (EWR) and all went well with my procedure. Can't wait for the next video and in the meantime, I have a classic keychain (CF). All the best!
Dude put a 15k repair to the vehicle 😄 God bless you Chris, this is what world is all about, being a good soul, and you are one
Chris, as a Vet, I appreciate your help to fellow Vets and their families. I also enjoy watching your videos, especially as a wrench turner trying to save $$.
ChrisFix, the absolute king of automotive youtube. Thanks for all the effort and time you put into your amazing video's!
The video where Chris cleans the inside of a car properly to look like new. I kept hearing “agitate that dirt” with a small brush so it all comes up. and I use that method for cleaning even basic things like dirty older shoes. and it works beautifully makes cleaning dirty things 10x easier Chris is the best at this!.
52:31 finally beard reveal 😂
I applaud your efforts, Chris. 👏You're a good man!
Thank you for making me cry. Keep up the excellent work. I love your videos and learned a lot more than I care for about cars. :D
As a veteran I would like to thank you for this!!! I know you make these videos to make a living but using your outreach to millions to shine on a fallen soldier’s family is amazing! Thank you!
this is the first chrisfix video that i've watched where the tears weren't from me wrenching.... You're such a spectacular human being.
I loved what you did to that family. And I enjoy learning from your video. Out with the old in with the new.
Did almost everything you mentioned during my first year of owning an Octavia. It's not a fast car, nor is it super comfy, it just does what it was designed to do, which is being a reliable family car. Thanks for teaching me and other people how to maintain cars, I did mostly everything myself thanks to your vids
You are already a hero helping so many people with your videos. And now you became an angel helping people who need it most.
God bless you CHRIS FIX
Chris you're the best! I've got a '19 Titanium with 60k and I look forward to doing this maintenance myself down the road! Thank you for helping Homes for Heroes!
I'll just say it for him, thanks :)
Don't gap your plugs like he did. You'll damage the tips. There are better videos out there than this shade tree hack.
This is absolutely amazing stuff all around by you Chris. May God continue to bless you ever more.
This is an incredible video. My dad was a mechanic but couldn't teach you anything without screaming so I don't know how to do anything to my car. With this I feel like I can handle some of my maintenance without having to ask or go to the shop since budget is tighter this year.
Chris I have been following you for years and as a veteran with disabilities I greatly appreciate what you have done here. You are a good man and with a heart of GOLD. God Bless you and yours.
This is probably the longest CZcams video I’ve ever watched and the most heartfelt thing. Thank you for your kindness to the family in need. ❤
Awesome, man! God bless you and keep blessing your job!
that's amazing work man thank you for all your help over the years and helping me discover my passion for working on cars
He not only made an amazing video about how to buy and maintain your first car, but he did it for a good cause. 10/10 ChrisFix Thanks for all the great things you're doing
Chris, my first car was given to me by my best friend who moved away. Little did he know I would soon be homeless and live out of that car. Also, at the time, he saw it as more of a curse as the car ran but that was about it 😂. It didn’t even have bulbs in the instrument cluster! I slowly put the work into it with a little money here or there when I could afford it. It is the car I still use, drive and live with each day. It has seen me through everything and at 167,000 miles it’s a Cadillac! Your videos helped me so much and gave me incredible knowledge that helped me take care of this mechanical friend. I always make sure it is safe, reliable and ready for the road. Thank you so much for what you’re doing.
Cris you’re a hero without cape! Following with you from the beginning of your channel! 😎
thank you sooo much for this video and everything you do. im trying to get my first car so i can get a better job and be able to live on my own without abusive parents. all i know is toyota = last forever. thank you for all your help i really appreciate it!! and you’re so good hearted for what you did for that family. you are a national treasure :)
You have helped me and my family save 10s of thousands through the confidence and knowledge your videos have given me.
These soldiers have defended me and kept me safe in ways I will never know.
Thank you guys for everything you have done for me. I am truly grateful and will do my best to pay it forward.
Seriously, his simple “GOOD!” after each step is insanely reassuring and motivating. It’s telling us that anyone can’t tackle these things.
Hey Chris! That was, without a doubt, the unexpected highlight of my week. The work was incredible, and you're a good guy. My best salute, from a humble soldier in the Brazilian Army.
ChrisFix, I have been watching your CZcams channel years ago. U are simply AWESOME 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Keep it up bro… 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey Chris, I recently discovered your channel and I really like your videos. It has given me confidence to work on my own car and maybe even get a project car. All the tools I have are hand-me-downs and are dirty and greasy. Would love to see you make a video about super cleaning your tools! Appreciate all your videos and the knowledge that you share❤
Awesome job Chris. As a disabled veteran myself and someone who has been watching before my 5 years of service. Your work has always been outstanding and professional. Also very concise and specific. Thank you for supporting us. God bless
When clicking this video, I wasn't expecting to be amazed at your kindness. Your humility is inspiring. You continue to help people to the best of your ability. Keep inspiring. You've come so far to give so much. How beautiful. We need more people like yourself Chris❤
you're have a good heart Chris...❤subscriber here from the Philippines.
I love the way you did to prepare that Car you DONATED. Just by viewing it, it seems like I can also manage to DIY my Car. 😊
You even gave them that Nice set of useful tools.
I hope I can also have those😊
Very satisfying to watch and thankyou chrisfix, giving them a toolbox though is a nice gesture but I feel it’ll never be used.
Hey Chris, i remember that we should always disconnect the negative pole on the battery 1st.
I think i learned that from you. And i noticed you disconnecting the positive 1st.
This video gave me goosebumps at the end. I wish more people would understand we are all human, and sometimes we may need some extra help. Keep doing what you're doing. You are a blessing to lots of people.
So glad I came across your channel! I was looking for tips on how to maintain my car and this video was the cherry on top! May God bless this family and bless your heart for supporting such a great cause!
Thanks a lot!
I watched this from beginning to end. I rarely comment but this whole video not only informed me on how to better maintain my own car after 7 years of driving, but moved me to see the heart and intention behind making it and for donating to an amazing charity. Thank you Chris for staying true to your “why” behind this channel and not letting money or fame change your morals and values. Although I don’t know you personally, from one Chris to another, may God continue to bless you and your family bro❤️🔥🙏🏼
This is great information for the younger people!

Really? I guess this really meaningful comment has nothing to do with advertisement.
Yea, unlike crypto!
I’ve seen your videos for many years, your attention to detail is impressive..
Thank you for all that you do, May God bless you
Billy
Thanks a lot Billy!
I want to be able to do this for people. You're an inspiration Chris
Chris, I'm watching this on Friday afternoon lunch at the office.. Literally, it got me into tears! You have a heart of gold! Hope all the good you do! Comes back to you!!
This video really brought me back to the golden age of CZcams, thanks Chris.
Nice! My first real "adult" car was the Ford Escape SEL and I loved that car. It's got a sharp look and interior and it got me to Oregon from Arkansas and through so many trails and it was only FWD. I would say you gotta maintain these well cuz they get quirky problems after awhile. Great choice!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO. MAY YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES BE FILLED WITH LOVE PEACE AND JOY!!!!
