Women are just as capable as men when it comes to auto repair. That's something I will always respect and promote in my work.

I've been a foreign car dealer A Tech for 10 years, with Mitsubishi for the last 6. Just here cause I'm still interested in doing what I do, and I like Eric's videos.
Videos showing my cars and some of the more interesting work I've done

Hey, um, not to nit pick or anything....but I'm pretty sure Chip is a dude! Yeah, I'm pretty much positive he's a dude. Yeah. Dude. Yup.

Well, in my book, the Chipster is free to be as girlie or burly as he likes. Even if he wore cherry licorice undie pants and a bustier, he'd still knock out some pretty slick designs (although one would wonder about the effects he might experience from a variety of distractions in a hot shop environment....)

MaxwellF, I'm sure you and your kids have many great memories of those times. You're a great guy for creating them, and doing for them some of what Eric and his ilk have done for so many of us.

Eric, have you ever considered doing a video series on a project car with your daughter? I think that's the sort of thing that a lot of people would be interested in, informative, cute, but also showing how anyone can be a car person! It's not all just the stereotypical white guys I chat with whenever I'm at the parts store despite what my girlfriend might think. I hate to bandy that term around, but it's the sort of thing that places like buzzfeed would call empowering and such, plus you could do videos on what projects and jobs are great ways to start your kids into the world of working on cars.
A wise man once told me, "when all else fails, hit it harder with something bigger."
