Hey, Eric!
I really appreciate your videos and I’m certain you’ve heard this a dozen times, but you’ve really helped me decide that I want become a tech.
Now let’s get to the point: I was wondering if you’d make videos on driving. Yes, plain ol’ drivin’. I myself can already drive an automatic, but not a manual or 4-wheel drive, and I didn’t find much success locating any useful videos on YouTube.Plus, I think learning it from you would be just spectacular. 😉. Winter’s rolling around and I don’t want to slide off the road and into The Forest of Overpriced Insurance Premiums. Also, it seems like you’d net a few views posting a video on the subject, so it could be a win-win situation.
Sorry if this request comes off as being demanding or absurdly stupid, but I’m not the best tool in the bin. (The garbage bin, that is!)
-Your #1 fan, Fanny the Fartcan.Or if someone else who produce such a video, it would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I know better than to try to drive a manual or 4-wheel drive based of videos, but I’d like a reference for when I do learn in person.

I’m not sure I want to venture into the realm of drivers ed but I see where you’re coming from. That said, I have made this video that might suite your needs.
Something for discussion…. I could never figure out why “3 on the tree” shifters (manuals that were shifted on the column) were so popular or liked… I once had to borrow a buddies 1960-something truck which had no power ANYTHING… Turning, signaling with the turn signal and getting ready to make a downshift, braking and applying the clutch involved ALL four appendages simultaneously (left turns were the worst) in a very unstable body position… Couple this with no seatbelts and my body sliding slightly on the seat made it a less than pleasurable ride… When I was done for the day, I was exhausted from driving that truck… Never again borrowed his truck (maybe he had something there)…. And never again wanted to drive a three on a tree…
Great vid…
