You'd have to be trying not to learn something! I learn something incredibly useful from Sam, even in videos where he doesn't day a word. One look, you just know.

Yeah Sam is the grandparent everyone dreams they could have! The man had tons of knowledge. My grandpa’s knew a ton but they are dead and gone now and I have was old enough to enjoy the knowledge they had being they both was gone before I turn 9 I do remember car shows and my dads dad working on cars but that’s about it! But they was in Sam’s generation my dads grandpa was a big cat nut and he probably tough me something same as my dad did on working in them and collecting cars and old tools a oil cans but moms side showed me how to box and the reason I became a golden glove boxer when I was 17 because I kept after it when he passed away and then military for 10 years 2 of those was a contractor until I was injured and got my tbi medically retiring me! But not I enjoy Muay Thai and Jiu Jitusu and have been passionate about both for 20 years now! Sorry for the long comment. Memory lane of everything I still can remember!

Loved hearing Sam talk about being a USAF mechanic, and how serious the job is. Not only is the pilot placing his life in your hands, but also his family's future. Training pilots is a major investment for the Pentagon, so they are a valuable resource to be protected. Making sure bolts are torqued to spec isn't an option, it's life or death.

I lit up like a Christmas tree when he started talking about the 442. My father passed down a '65 442 to me when he passed, and it's an honor to be able to own a piece of American history.

As a 32 year old with no grandparents alive, I really wish I had been more inquisitive when I had the chance.

Man Sam has so many awesome stories from life. My first two vehicles were a 42 GPW Jeep, then a 41 military 1/2 ton closed cab Dodge pickup with a Braden mu2 winch. It was still a newer flathead 6, push button floor starter, and 6 volt electric. I pulled a small fir tree out of the ground root ball and all when I sunk to the axle in the trees in the back yard. Truck didn't move then the tree sorta jumped out of the ground and almost fell on the truck. I sold the Jeep to buy the Power Wagon, then sold that to buy my Dart I still have. I didn't have a license yet either when I bought the military vehicles and finally got my license in the Dart. I got the Dart in 79 with 63k on it and a 383gts nose on it but it was a original 318 car and the nose was replaced after a minor crash early in its life. I did a lot of bolt ons and tweaks and upgrades to that car😎
