    You know what makes this the VERY BEST channel on CZcams? I always realize at some point during every video that I have perma-grin. I'm not blowing smoke when I say this is the best channel on CZcams. Hands down. I'm not even a car guy at least I wasn't. I'm not a mechanic. I know how to change fluids in my vehicles and add air to the tires. That is it. I've never been a car guy. I found this channel somehow around the time Cletus was trying to run his first 7 with Leroy. I've watched every single video since and I haven't watched a single other video of any other car guy except for VinWiki and Rabbit. That's how I know this is the best channel on CZcams. It might be about the cars for a lot of you guys but not me. It's about the people. Garret, James, and Cooper have such amazing charisma and the drive to give the fans what they want. That's what it's all about for me. I miss seeing Cooper on the channel. I know he has his own channel now but we need to see him more. #BringBackTheSpaghetti

    My father in law drag raced for numerous years from alcohol fueled funny cars to pro mod, he used to always go racing with his best friend, they would always race against each other to see who was the fastest. Unfortunately, his best friend passed away within the last few years due to health reasons, but now my father in law has hung up his helmet and given up racing. He doesn't have fun with it like he did when his best friend was challenging him to be faster. It's truly an amazing, heartwarming moment seeing 2 best friends achieve something that to us may not seem so monumental, but to them will be a memory forever
