You are very well spoken, articulate. I sat through the whole video with no questions asked you. Thank you. Time to spend a couple hundred bucks 😂

Thumbs up. But warning re modern cars: "Your car cannot start without a battery, but it’s possible to take the battery out while the engine is running. This is not recommended as it poses a serious risk for all components due to voltage spikes."
