Are you going to put make/model of the tools in the description of the video?

For instance, the magnetic socket holders are, I believe, Lisle.

I've only got 2 videos, 1.3k subscribers, and became eligible for monetization last year. Didn't even bother finalizing the account, or checking in, but the other day I asked my wife to finish setting things up. She checked the account and said I had $400 waiting.

Probably won't quit the day job yet, but should cover some christmas gifts! ;)

Wow, nice! Congrats!

Yup, it's on my to do list. We weren't going to launch until Feb, but I got bored and impatient.

ROFLMAO!

I have the same Greddy muffler on my Prelude, as the yellow Nissan. (almost afraid to admit!)

Great spoofing. In the gadget reviews, you should have revealed the quality of the early US General toolbox. ;)

That wasn't even meant to be funny. I mean what can you say about a system that adds exhaust sounds to a Tesla? We try not to be aholes (it's difficult sometimes).

Right. Pretty darn silly, but I thought you guys did a great job on that one. I wouldn't spend money on it. I had a buddy in HS that created a loop of the drum intro for "Hot for Teacher" and would play that loud in his MG to simulate a V8 with a lumpy cam.

Can I get one of those loud pedals at Pelican? I think it would be great under my neighbor's bedroom window.

speeder 01-01-2024 11:29 AM

Will do!

On a side note, any chance that you could buy back Pelican? :)

Wayne 962 01-01-2024 12:29 PM

105 Subscribers! 895 to go! :)

You know if you give Google some juice they will send you to the top. I gave them 60 bucks I guess a year and a half ago and I got 10x the views right away. I could see that was going to net out negative for me as I don't have a broad appeal — very narrow actually. But it works. They'd love to see you get 100,000 subscribers because no matter what they pay you, they will come out the better between you and them.

I made a trailer this morning. Just a hung-over mismosh of some of the stuff from the channel. Best I could do with built-in Windows software (which is not that good):

The general vibe for me from the trailer is not serious (potential knucklehead content) commentary about cool and unique cars and car stuff. There is also an element of surprise about content; who knows what you’re going to talk about?
