ETCG
@DStylesHanska Sorry, I thought this was the video with the picture a viewer sent me with ETCG logo's all over it.
@DStylesHanska Cool, does it really have the ETCG stuff on it?
@CamaroHelp I really don't know if I'm honest.
@blackdusterv8 Thanks, so are you.
My cousin who has a 2010 prius and he told me that he got his up to 110 mph on the highway i couldnt believe it but i dont know… what do you think? i thought that was crazy for a electric car and its not even airo dynamic atleast not like a camaro
You are cool car guy ;D
@Michiganborn1969 you can get 0-60 in 4 seconds for alot cheaper than that
Check out Davidsfarmlives. Awesome vids
@Michiganborn1969 That body was actually designed by Lotus if I'm not mistaken. I passed a Chevy Volt the other day myself, the world is changing.
Speaking of Electric cars, yesterday while in the drive-thru, in front of me was a car made by Tesla motors made here in CA. It was a really cool looking car kinda looked like a cross between a Lotus & Jag. They're suppose to go from 0 – 60 in 4 seconds & starting price is about $58k.
@spelunkerd They seem to be the direction the industry is going, time will tell. Thanks for the comment.
@foxdmulder It's in this one briefly.
@spelunkerd Yes there are things that are much worse for sure.
I saw a quote on the 'net last week about tools. He said that some of us collect tools, like girls collect barbie dolls. I thought that was really funny, until I walked into my shop later that day.
Oh well, if you must have a vice, I guess it's better than gambling.
I had the same misconceptions about hybrid vehicles, until my wife insisted on buying one. That car (Lexus hybrid) is almost as quick as my motorcycle, when passing on the highway. I can't say I'm a sold fan on hybrids, mainly because of the repair and expense issues. But bad performance is not a factor.
I think theres a youtube video somewhere of occ doing a drag with an electric bike….pointless bit of info…
@TheKeyboardKowboy I disagree, setting up 2 cameras to cover my cuts is very useful for this and much easier than when I do repair videos and have to keep setting up not just one but 2 cameras every time I do something. Thanks for the input and the comment.
@qaz3000 I do think there is a left and right so be sure to match up the new strut with the old one before you install it. Good luck.
@punkenduro I'll do my best.
Hello Eric , I replaced my rear struts this week on my 94 toyota tercel . When i got the struts at the salvage yard they looked exacly identical , but now im wondering if they might have a side, Is they're anyway to know ?? i dont know i feel they're is something wrong. Whats your take on the situation ?? Thank you very much !
Sorry never seen a pd cast.. It's Ok tho.. Not sure if you noticed the +1 under the share button.. So.. I gave U a +1 .. There is no trade off on Electrical cars.. Where ya ya gonna dump the batteries!
Laters!
i want full coverage of this show. i want new stuff from snap on, matco, cornwell, mac, FULL COVERAGE. :p
@EricTheCarGuy Your in the same boat I'm in my friend. I know how it feels.
@EricTheCarGuy Your welcome to come and visit here. It could be a interesting thing for the other subscribers to see how our culture and everyday life is here in Sweden.
I have to find out if Koenigsegg offers tours of the plant, but thing that I know about is that there are very strict about photographing and videotaping inside the plant for the fear of industrial espionage. But they did let in a TV crew in there once for a interview. I have to see what I can do, can't make any promises.
@EricTheCarGuy Thanks. My friend tried removing his from his 98 civic and took the electrical connections off and the 2 bolts that hold it in but it won't come out. I think it's rusted in. Any tips? Cuz there's not much that will fit down there to pry it loose.
@MoneyMarcMes Actually I have full access. 🙂 And better yet I just found out that I'll be able to shoot a FATR from the floor the night before the show, very cool.
@Michiganborn1969 A tupperware party sounds lovely, a great place to store spare fasteners. I'll keep an eye out for those fires, that kind of sucks really.
@JTheGuitarPlayer I did wash it. To be honest there is a lot going on right now with ETCG but when the dust settles I hope to make less work for myself it's just difficult being a one man operation with a family to feed, if I don't work and succeed, we don't eat and for a guy like me having my kids go hungry is just not an option.
@Hamtheman88 I will, thanks.
@Hamtheman88 I will, thanks.
@smokinghull Nope it's not, in fact at the turn of the 20th century there were steam, electric, and gas powered cars, it was the discovery of oil in Texas that made the gas powered cars the cheapest to operate at the time and the rest is history. Thanks very much for your comment.
