Paul is like the grizzled old mechanic we all aspire to be

11:06 one of the deadliest pileups happened because of fog on March 10th 1997 on the M41 in the UK. 160 smashed vehicles, 20 serious injuries and 3 deaths, but a lot of it was also caused by drivers going too fast for the conditions. 28 drivers were charged with dangerous driving and one went to prison.

I've been stuck by lightning in a car on 3 different occasions. Each time it struck the body of the vehicle and left no damage. If the bolt strikes metal on the vehicle, the body will act as a Faraday cage and keep the lightning on the surface of the exterior and will ground out through your tires. If it strikes a window such as in that clip, it's far more dangerous, but possible for your cars electrical systems to survive if lucky enough.

'Get to know your local potholes' hits hard. I live by this.

Glad to see this guy back, he didnt really seem to suit the crazy repair situation vids like the other 2 mechanics, but this; this is where his perspective make sense.

That box truck driver definitely has slicks on his daily lmao 🤣

The look on James’s face when he said it doesn’t matter if you’re swapping the engine killed me. Can’t wait to see where that leads

Ouuuu perfect timing was just looking for something to watch

I'm impressed with Josh - good knowledge and cool. Look forward to seeing him again. Donut is getting a pretty good group of people together.

For the Killer Fog, 1 important rule of thumb that was left out is using your hazards when inside killer fog. Living in the HD going down the Cajon or Grapevine commuting teaches you alot

Y’all should do toolbox tours from all the featured mechanics

Staying in your car during a thunderstorm is great advice. However, your tires have nothing to do with it. It is safe because the metal exterior of the car acts as a Faraday Cage redirecting the flow of electricity around you and all your squishy bits.

I'm happy to see Paul is getting a lot more comfortable with the crew!

Lifelong Canadian here; I wouldn't be even half the winter driver I am (so far) if it wasn't for video games. Legit. They way you drift in video games makes it absolutely instinctual in the ice & snow when you break traction!

for fog, it doesnt matter where the lights are, its about the colour temperature. More yellow lights will penetrate fog while white light will get reflected. This is why you want your fog lights to be slightly yellow, even if it ruins the all white aesthetic

I like when James spends time with his new dad

That last video was totally sick. That guy needs an award for that one!

Last clip was insane, when I lived in MI I saw a Semi driver go full jackknife on similar road conditions and own 3 lanes in front of me. I was going slow enough to just drop throttle and maintain momentum to slow down and get the hell out of his way. To his credit he actually got it under control and headed to the shoulder where I am sure he climbed in back to change his shorts! love these videos, keep em' coming!

For the record, its not because of the rubber tired that your car is the safest place during a thunder storm, its because your car is a Faraday cage. The metal chassis directs the electricity around you instead of going through you. Electricity always takes the shortest route, metal is a much better conductor so the electricity goes on that route instead of jumping through the interior of the car to get to you.
