1. How's that harbor freight stand fan? I've looked at it online a lot but never been around one. Seems a little expensive for a fan but maybe it's awesome is why.

2. The customer was quoted a ridiculous amount by the dealer to replace [Insert Text Here]

3. I'm not a mechanic but I thought the rookie mistake was blowing the leaves all over the place instead of vacuuming them. Guess it's faster and looks better on YT

4. Horrible cars to work on and absolutely overpriced parts. Suspension parts are crazy expensive – even here in Germany.

5. Yes it is only proper to use correct grammar when working on such an automobile.

6. There is a Biblical scripture we'd like to share with you:
   "I can do all things through
   Christ, who
   strengthens me…"

7. That's one over-engineered car!

8. I work ONLY the classic Benz, 1999 and below. I have 4 of them. They have gone way stupid with bells and whistles. Good luck with anything 2000 and above. Sad but true.

9. What about the washer fluid?

10. idk, I feel like "got" sounds better than "have", "Let's see what we got" sounds better compared to "let's see what we have" to me. Although if you added a word and said "let's see what we have here" then it sound's fine. idk though I'm a bit strange with word sounds.

11. I quit watching those folks who constantly post clickbait titles…

12. From working on tanks in the army to over 30 years working on heavy equipment for cat. Every day can be my first day!

13. get headband camera holder so you can use 2 hands

14. Ray, put the bonnet (hood) into service mode by releasing the lock on drivers side hinge to make it sit vertically.

15. Wish this tin foil seal would never be used again on new containers .It can be taken in to the system with the new oil –damage can become of it

16. The power steering pump takes chf11 . What did you put into it?

17. Rheeeeeeee, so you just run the engine inside the shop and breath in the exhaust? No venting? I don't get it Ray. That's not right, right? Forgive me if you have this vented but I never see you hook up a tube to the exhaust in any videos.

18. Far as I'm concerned, Mercedes aren't luxury.theyre garbage

19. Cars I'll never work on.mercedes,bmw,ford,porche,tesla,lexus, pretty much anything that isn't Chevy or Dodge

20. At least your "Rookie Mistake" showed us how complicated Germans make a simple windshield wiper assembly.

21. Sometimes folks drive a benz becaus the want it not because they have deep pockets. I worked for Firestone and we did things the right way we only sold what the job needed nothing more

22. Ray we dont now until we start to get inside just what we will find. So you have no reason to be embarassted .

23. Ray i shiver when i see the tin foil seal broken like this because the foil fragments can get poured in to the engine, or in the pass tank ,or brake catch tank, thats .if they come off the container / I have compained to the makers but nothing came of it .

24. Love your AR style Air gun…………Unfortunately that would be illegal here in California where ANYTHING AR is banned…..LOL

25. How unusual, a Mercedes with an air shock leaking.
    I could have told you it needed rear tires. A German car is built to squat with negative camber. The old VW's had swing axles in the rear. Under hard cornering the wheels would tuck under the car. This caused roll overs. Therefore Germans didn't want a car that even looked close to positive camber.

26. Haha lucky ye didn't decide to take the engine out before removing the wiper blade

27. needlessly over engineered wiper transmission assembly.
