Self aware Matt is the craziest Matt known to man. "We are only going to install the airbox... it took me a week"
What a great episode this'll be.

"Still beats having a real job." Words to live by.

RIP to the jag, may we pray for it's return after the viper is done, the honda goes through 3 more engines, and the land speed record is set.

Despite your setbacks and unforseen challenges, I would trust you to run Bolivia

I now want Matt to build a 100% SendCutSend car, engine included. And I am pretty sure the idea has crossed his mind.

“I like doing things the right way, but only when it’s easy” is so relatable.

[oakgriff]

As a fellow adhd mechE, I don't know if it's more therapeutic or triggering watching your working process, all I know is I love to see it. As a fan of doing things the right way (but only if the right way is easiest, and if it isn't, then deciding to come up with a newer easier righter way) I can't get enough. Thank for the great content Matt!

Love these videos! Nothing makes me feel better about how badly I get lost in tasks then watching someone else do the same thing.

Make sure to add rubber protective boots to every ball joint. Our local guy had uniball suspension on his drag car. One of the ball joints in front suspension got stuck (probably some sand in there) and car started to lean, so he started to compensate with turning the steering wheel. But steering wheel didnt turn as tie rod joint was stuck. So he gradually steered harded until the balljoint came unstuck and this sent the car 6 times over the roof at 200km/h.

I can tell this is getting a little exhausting for you. I just want to say thank you for pressing on and keeping these videos funny even when it's not a very funny week. This is why you're my favorite content creator of all time.

[operaatio]

Yeah. I know the feeling. I tried building a nuclear power plant in my backyard, but the airbox installation took way too much time.

"The correct cutter is the one that was in the lathe when you got there." Pure gold.

"we are just installing an airbox... So the upper control arms"

The way you narrate perfectly captures the experience of trying to do something but getting distracted and knowing you're distracted but not being able to stop.

[JTCF]

Holy shit, the amount of cross-dependent stuff would drive me insanely anxious. This project is awesome, and you are awesome!

I sat down to watch this 12 minute clip and it took me 47 minutes to complete it.

[denisfiume]

Matt don't worry, you are super fast 7 days ago I planned just to refresh the paint of my 5 m² (50 ft²) office. Seven days later I'm finishing installing new drywalls and pouring self-leveling floor. A $50 job becomes a $5000 restoration project monster. I hate myself, but it's easier on my soul when I watch your videos.

[weibrot]

What a beautiful opening to the video, he starts talking about the airbox and we immediately start to fix the camber of the car

[andrewshoe]

I think the ultimate win in all this is finding the hose clamp you lost in the garage. I am truly impressed.
