ETCG1 video suggestion

Talk about speed limited cars. Cars that have speed limiters on them and why the manufacturers feel they need to limit the speeds of their cars. I have seen a lot of people asking the same question around the web and I can’t really explain it either.

Not something I’ve run into or have a lot of experience with. Perhaps with a little research I might be able to come up with something.

Thanks for the suggestion.

How about talking about opening up a shop of your own, giving tips and such?
My brother-in-law wants to open a brake/oil shop so I figured that if you talked about it, it would give him an idea of what to do and how to archive it. We tried looking over the web but there wasn’t really anything on that we could find. By the way thanks for all your videos they are very educational and extremely helpful.:)

How about discussing purchasing a car with highway miles vs city mile used car. Maybe higher miles isn’t always worse kind of thing? Issues to expect in both?

I came across a recent article that might make for an interesting topic. It discusses the possibility of automakers using copyright law to prohibit DIY’ers and auto enthusiasts from repairing or modifying their own vehicles. It seems like an interesting development that has the potential to affect everyone from amateurs to companies whose entire business is based on performance upgrades. The DVD player install video comes to mind. It would be unlawful to install your own less expensive, customized unit and instead pay a lot more for the infotainment system designed by the automaker.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the future please start a new thread for a new topic. It gets confusing when they all get jumbled up like this.
