make sure you have car before checking all of these.
I watched this video and started checking my neighbours car and now he won't talk to me

[KrisHarrisnNeti]

I usually leave the engine running for 3 minutes. Then I turn it off and take the bus.

Chris I love your channel! No crappy dubstep intro, no long digressions - you were straight into this video before 5 seconds had even passed. Keep up the great work man.

[ScottEdwardsKayakbirder]

What’s with all the ‘hater’ comments? Chris is over 4 million subscribers..he’s doing something right!

[jillywonka]

When I’m driving, I feel like the car is an extension of myself. It sounds a little crazy, but it makes me feel better to hear Chris say that you don’t want to push your car right away when you’re starting your drive. To let the engine warm up. I always feel like I’m pushing the car way too hard, I can feel it working harder to get to a higher speed. I could care less if people on the road get ticked off, because I know that I’m treating my engine well to help ensure longevity. Thanks for the advice!! 😎

I spend like 10 min before driving my car. mainly cause those damn cassete mp3 converters never fucking work, and I ain't driving without music

Great tips Chris. Here's another tip for drivers, not only should you check your spare tyre is inflated, but also check to make sure you can remove it while on the roadside with the tools you're likely to have been provided by the manufacturer.

I got very lucky recently, I had bought a 12 year old car and decided to change to the spare tyre, while at home. The spare tyre had seized in position because the screw thread had rusted, it took a monumental amount of effort to unscrew it, that would never have been possible on a cold wet night on the side of a busy road.

Go and check access to your spare tyre, now!

I loved the tip of doing a pretrip! Being a trucker for 19 years, this advice for 4wheel drivers is also a benefit of not breaking down in front of my 80, 000 lb rig, or risking getting hit on the shoulder! I love your channel! I cant stop watching!

[martymcfly]

rule # 11 never carry around a rusted spare wheel!

[Scrapla]

I remember back in the day my mom would start and drive and my pops could scream WARM IT UP FIRST! lol

One of the things you forgot to mention is people who love to push the car "to see how far it goes" when the gas light comes on

[michaelm]

Easiest way to read the owner's manual is in sections while you sit on the toilet.

[danielbritschock]

Drinking and driving is a Very big mistake.

[geraldjauernig]

You've come a long way since these videos! Better video quality, editing and you even sound more excited and upbeat these days. I'm glad your life is going great and you love what you do. I actually thought about doing something like this but you beat me too it... not to mention it would take me forever to get as good as you are now, lol. I hope you keep striving and never lose motivation in what you love!

[christophersmith]

Chris you are by far the best car maintenance guy on the internet. Clearly you love what you do and what to show people that isn't hard to service you car yourself with the right tools and very easy to follow tutorial videos. The only other car channel that comes close is mighty car mods.
