Episode 33: DIY'ers


Listen Later


On this week’s GTW we are talking DIY’ers. It used to be really pretty easy to be a DIY’er but as cars have become significantly more complicated, it has become very hard for the average layperson to work on their car. It has also become really easy for the average person to catastrophically break their car when attempting DIY repairs. Even simple botches can lead to THOUSANDS of dollars in damage- to either the car or whatever they run into because they didn't bleed brakes properly. The biggest reason for the DIY crowd today is saving money because they feel like mechanics are ripping them off. Well, we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, were not the guys getting paid when you come to pick up your car! But if you absolutely must do a DIY repair, for the love of god, have a backup plan. Also Uncle Jimmy talks Pascal’s law, repainting the Rock and Roll Garage (and producer) with engine oil, Money by Pink Floyd, self medicating, and a parts store customer running over his Harley Davidson with his half ton truck with improperly repaired brakes. Yea, this week is loaded! This week’s episode is sponsored by our friends at KB Tools.
