Not Fiero related this time. My car needed some work, so I asked my daughter to do it.

She still has three videos to put together that I did the recording for her. I just finished this one up for her because she was having freezing issues with one of the video segments...

She had less trouble than I did on my Super Duty last month.

Fun tip. I used a 2x4 and pinned it between the wheel and one of the frame braces then started the truck and turned the wheel. Used the power steering pump to kick the "stuck" tire off the hub. I doubt it is some new trick, but it worked for me.

How do we (PFF) feel about our kids posting videos, even innocuous ones such as this?

We are very happy to see a young person (with the help of their parent(s) actually "wrenching".

and she has proper "parental guidance".

She isn't "pretending" to be performing the work.


Isn't "overly- revealing" or headed towards the "darkness". I've been DMin' her dad.

We have a Fiero and a 16 year old "learning to drive". He's been quite interested in keeping his Fiero running as long as possible. and these videos will be helpful (for both him and his dad) now and in the future.


I *never* claimed to be a mechanic, I've done some work on my Fieros over the years, but we (my son and I) both think her videos are just totally cool - especially because her info is valid, and because her dad is an attentive parent. We look forward to her future videos.

I'll toss you a DM regarding some other stuff, ls3mach.... Just "because"...

As long as Todd's daughter retains her anonymity online, and dad continues to monitor all posted comments on YouTube, it should be okay.

Of course, these videos also need to have no connection to any other social media that Todd's daughter may be associated with... as it would then be impossible for Todd to be aware of what type of messages she's being sent as a result of her YouTube presence.

Thanks guys... for me, my daughter has a few interests... and I want to give her every opportunity to explore these interests. She's interested in film production, and has even joined that elective in school, but she also likes computer programming, and is also very technically minded, and also artistic. So I want to foster all of that when I can. Like my parents, I plan to let my daughter find her own way and decide what she wants to do. Only thing is, I told her I'm not paying for a stupid degree, that I'll only pay for a degree that has general value that can span any variety of career fields.

Specifically though, she really wants to get into a good college, and views this as an opportunity to show the universities that she's well-rounded. She also hopes that by the time she's in college, it will be monetized and provide some additional spending money. I told her not to expect more than a couple hundred a month, but it does help.

I appreciate the support!!!

(and also the free labor, haha...)
