    turning an e30 into an e32 is an amazing restoration job indeed
  • These two are gradually becoming the new Mythbusters and im TOTALLY here for it.
  • @doom7872
    Sandro referencing Ghost EMP destroying protoss outta nowhere is wild. This guy is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
  • @AnchorJG
    Sandro: This is bullshit. Angela: Here's why this is bullshit. And that's why we love this combo.
  • @Skorpse
    Sandro with the Starcraft references lmao I love this guy even more

    Angelina is such a legend. Holy COW can she ever make information palatable as a teacher.

    1) You know you're a mechanic when you're most excited about tools over any other product. 2) The wrenches are very useful for hard lines, to get them off you can simply just have the wrench move off the fitting, while it's over the line you'd be able to spin the ratcheting end by hand afterwards.

    2:41 Ah yes, "negative electrons"...otherwise known as just electrons.

    The EMP protector would use MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and spark gaps just like the ones we put on home electrical panels to protect homes from lightning strikes. The reason for the connection to the chassis is because high voltages travel on the surface of conductors and not through the conductors so it will travel on the surfaces of the vehicle. Whether it would protect against an actual EMP is questionable because there is no place for it to go to earth ground unless the tires are wet. Though the pulse is microseconds, it has no place to go to get away from the electronics. Notice the chains hanging from the bottom of fire engines. They provide the path for the electricity to go to the ground which would blow the main circuit breaker if a stream of water or a ladder hits a power line. The ones for homes do work because the electrical panels are connected to earth ground. Just a bit of information, "If a powerline falls on your car, DON'T get out of the car unless it is on fire. When your foot hits the ground you will be electrocuted. Stay in the vehicle until help arrives. If you have to get out, jump out without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time and then hop away with both feet together." A lesson from the electric company. I enjoy your videos.

    My grandfather was a firefighter and first aid trainer, and he always had a seatbelt cutter velcro-taped next to the driver's seat in all his cars. Not so much to free himself if he got stuck after an accident, but in case he arrives at an accident site and can't get an injured person out of a wrecked car because he can't get to the seatbelt buckle. Or he is injured in his own wrecked car and someone finds him and can't get at the buckle either. And with injured people in a mangled car, you really don't want to struggle with a knife on the setbelt next to their necks. Seatbelt cutters really would be a handy to tool to have within reach in such situations.
  • Having Sandro's shop in the video with Angelina is sick! I love how they are getting more involved in the channel. I love the Donut guys, but Sandro and Angelina are the stars of this channel now for sure!
  • @HortenseCGroce
    Sandro & Angelina is my favorite pairing on this channel, the combination of both of their knowledge and sense of humor is just perfect
  • @benruss4130
    Former Corrosion Engineer here. The anti-rust method is based on Cathodic Protection, which DOES work; however, the technique is improperly applied via the method shown here.
  • @OctaneStreet
    Sandro's the best lmao man said he studied EMPs for 2 years just to give his answer based on Starcraft lmaoo goated.
  • @solrath3609
    Knowing Sandro is a giant StarCraft nerd just gave me life.
  • @jimbo5728
    "Illegal on camera where we are" Huh? A test of that fire extinguisher would be pretty useful.
  • @Pete_Finch
    These two just sliding into hosting their own Donut show completely organically. 2 years of studying EMPs in Starcraft got me good
