RESCUING An ABANDONED Saturn ION REDLINE Project *Can We Start It?*
Рет қаралды 182,549
4 жыл бұрынA friend reached out to me after the fired video and said he took his 2005 Saturn Ion Redline apart years ago and needed it put back together. It had been apart for so long that he did remember where the connectors went and didn't really have the motivation to get outside and mess with it. Gabe and i headed over in the morning expecting the perfect day to work on a car outside, instead we ended up working in the rain all day.

You just differentiated yourself from the rest of the KZfaq pack. "Car Rescue" helping those unable to make car repairs. Moreover, unable to pay for car repairs necessary for getting back-and-forth to work. There are so many people unable to afford car repairs. Great job! Keep it up! God Bless! Your loss of employment may be a blessing!

Seriously. I just quit my job due to some personal bs. Aaaand car snaps a lower ball joint. Literally had to beg and borrow for a tow because if it got impounded i would have lost all my belongings. Still not fixed because Minnesota winters and i don't own a blue wrench These types of things are appreciated beyond what most people will know.

Great idea. Check out Bill Pulte (@pulte) on Twitter. He is crowdsourcing people helping people. JR can be the guy doing the work for local families with transportation issues, such as a dead car or need a beater car to get back on their feet. Then he can reach out to his followers and others on social media to contribute via GoFundMe for the project expenses. JR grows the channel and get's ad revenue, people in need get a roadworthy car, and we all win.

I couldn't give a shit about the R8. It's like a fad on youtube to buy these salvaged supercars and fix them. I don't care, I have no interest in supercars - I will most likely never own a super car. I like when JR fixes these normal cars, because it seems like something I could do, anyone could spend the time to learn a little about wrenches, how craigslist works, and flip cheap cars. It is cool seeing this unique, funny, interesting guy, fix cheap cars and flip them. It seems more real to me. More down to earth. I am here because I like the person who is behind it, and will keep watching JR GO videos until he will stop uploading them.

Keep up the good work, and as another commentor noted, be careful doing these odd jobs yourself once you lose your health insurance (though I'm assuming you got severance and COBRA for the time being?)

On top of that, who thinks it's funny that someone got fired? I'll tell you what's actually funny: that end of video handshake. Figure out which one you're going to use BEFORE you shoot :) Looking forward to more of the L7 - after you test drive the Redline.
