If they don't do it (or pretend to be doing it) viewers don't see how it's done. For that, I'm appreciative no matter how slow the going. It's a cool car but for what it will be, it's irrationally complex--which works for them (except the aging part).

New episode. My favorite comment, "I started watching Project
Binky as a child; I now enjoy watching new episodes with my grandchildren"

Their dedication is admirable but that level of detail is just silly.... Or the only way to do it properly?

Did I understand correctly their pursuit of the ideal function knobs led them into making and selling their refined versions?
The attention to detail these guys exhibit is awe- inspiring to me. I think there a number of Pelicans who could work beside them.
Just seeing the process and results make me smile. Love it.

I wonder if they do things just to show they can, not necessarily because they need to.

I have watched every episode until now.
5 minutes into this one and I shut it down.
Can't do it anymore.

My OCD kept me until the end and looking forward to the next episode. I just geek out over that stuff.

They do it for the ad revenue. That episode was insane - more advert than content.
