I’ve been working on cars for 57 years. In that time you learn, many times the hard way, things you should not do. For the average person with little or no car maintenance or repair experience, there’s many ways to either damage the vehicle being worked on or to put the owner in danger. And these are things that experienced people avoid automatically without thinking.
So, my suggestion is a video of things not to do. I remember when my cousin dumped engine oil into the power steering. I remember when a coworker filled his leaking radiator with water on a subzero day. I remember the lady that carried a spare in the trunk – a spare that wasn’t mounted on a rim. Anyway, you get the picture.
I know you have many cautions in your repair videos. But, I think a video just dedicated things you should not do would be a great service.

I have learned through too many embarrassing “gotcha” moments of my own: When the car tells you “I don’t feel good.” You need to pull the fuck over. Right now!
If your toddler is riding in the back of your Cadillac with White Leather interior and says: “Daddy, my stomach hurts.” Do you keep driving? Same thing with cars.

Hell, I remember being 5-6 y/o somewhere in there…
I told the baby sitter that I was gonna puke, but she didn’t listen…
All OVER the interior, myself, my 2 y/o sister’s “purse”…
Many years later, I learned how that poor girl had to sell that car, and she never baby-sat again. I was a truly 👿 little shit!
