Some of you may know that I use to own a 944. Then I got bored with it and sold it to my mother.
I'm in the middle of some pretty big shop renovations right now. I apologize for the downgrade in video content quality recently. You'll see what I've been up to once I make another shop update!<...

I've pulled this video out of the privitization vault for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure). This video was only public for a few months before I took it down because of all of the negative feedback it received. As you'll see, I did a lot wrong in this video. For starters, I called the car a pi...

I attempt to tackle my entire history with my Trabant in a brief 13 minutes. Just in case describing all of my Trabant's problems wasn't enough to motivate me to fix it, the engine decided to slightly destroy itself. Now I have to fix it. I still can't tell if the car is unreliable, or if I'm ...

This is the troubleshooting section (and finale) of the conversion project. I delayed it repeatedly because of reasons you'll see in the video.
I have a simple question for you, the patrons. Was this video worth making? I couldn't decide if troubleshooting was worth its own video, or if ever...

I borrowed this car from its owner to make it go and stop again. The brakes proved to be a tiny bit more challenging than I was expecting, and then I overcomplicated the fix of the fuel system. I know this won't be a very exciting video, but I wanted to take you along for the ride anyway. Viewership...

Sorry about that. I had to order another water pump for the Saab because both the new one I ordered leaked enough to where the word flow is a better description than the word leak. Because of this parts delay, I temporarily dropped the Saab project to work on the horrendously modified Trabant Tramp ...

There were some bad solder joints in the SAM unit. Oh darn. I just summed up the entire video in one sentence. Oh well. The video was more of an excuse to make fun of the guesses I got in the last video.
I hope you enjoy jump cuts. I didn't. I'm not doing this format again.

This is a tiny, plastic, electric car from 1975. This is a car with just 3.5hp from a DC motor and a 48V lead acid battery pack. The top speed is something like 25mph, but it's licensed as a regular car. The accelerator pedal does not control a speed controller. Instead, motor speed is controlled by...

This is one of the rare videos I'll do about someone else's car. I normally don't do this, but this little thing was too interesting to pass up. I hope you enjoy the video about this fun little car.
The owner has another tiny electric city car that I also drove that day. See if you can spot ...

Was there an easier solution to running the vacuum lines? Probably. Was it necessary to run all of the hoses back to their original positions? Probably not. Are established solutions more fun than bodging together your own solution? Never.
This was not meant to be a three part series, but as you'l...

I knew I couldn't finish the Saab 96 project and get the video edited in time to meet my release schedule, so I made an explainer of my problematic Smart car instead. The script for this video was a bit under-developed, so hopefully the ridiculous ending makes up for that a bit.
If you ha...

This is an experimental promo I made some time last year for a series I never followed through on. As you can imagine, talking to myself across time like this took a lot of practice. I recorded the green screen half of the conversation first, and then I wore an earbud in the car to hear the other ha...

Hello Patrons!
This is the inaugural Aging Wheels Patreon post, so I'm giving all of you 24 hours early access to the Saab 96 project video.
If you're wondering how a carb swap could possibly fill up a 35 minute video split into multiple parts, it's because I did a lot more than swap a...
