    Brother, I’m 54 years old and I grew up when those cars were popular and I know nothing about that car! I’ve been wrenching on cars for most of my life. I love watching you and iceman on the videos videos.. come on everybody buy merch. The shirts are awesome quality, and it helps the channel produce content!❤❤

    I'm sure you could have gotten it to run, but the time and expense could've gotten outta control quickly!
    Awesome seeing the whole family, including Ice Man. (I know he's family, just wanted to make sure he knew he was included in that!)😁

    Ok as for the confusion involving Sally, I AM STILL KEEPING HER!!💜💜 she’s not going anywhere especially because our plans for her are HUGE.
    I’m currently just trying to find a classic (metal) small car that will be easier to fix and get on the road because Ludo (03 suburban) eats waaaaayyy too much gas lol.
    I also will not drive a small car if it’s not metal because I don’t trust the newer plastic/fiberglass stuff to protect my child💜💜
    As always we love you guys and appreciate all of y’all’s support and love💜💜

    Back in the late 70's, my dad bought a Mazda Rotary Station wagon that the motor was bad on. We took it out and put a Toyota 18R with a Toyota 4 speed in it. It took us a while, but that thing ran great for over 10 years and had like $500 in the whole thing.

    I had a 83 RX7 GLS with the rotary engine back in 91. I was so confused when I raised the hood and saw a 4 Barrel sitting on what looked like a 4 cylinder. It was decent...never saw top end...it just keeps winding.

    Had a rx7. It got fuel soaked, lost the compression/seal. Poured a quart of oil on the plug ports. It started and man it burned smoke for 30 minutes. Then it cleared up. Fuel soak was the culprit.

    Dude. You've gotta run BERRYMAN B-12 chem tool through that engine! They don't like to run dirty. I can tell by listening to it. That it's got sludge in it. It's 5$. And run it through every tank for a few tanks. And it'll be good.
