They know it's 2017, right? Or is this game from the future!

Props to Alex for that subtle Ghostbusters reference at 53:15.

That House radio station was playing Big Room and Electro House instead of House.

Also should've turned down the music, no matter the genre, it was clashing with the voice-over and made it harder to focus on what was being said.

Oh, that's right. I forgot all bolts in the Southern Hemisphere are left-hand lead. :)

That's how every year named type thing works. The NBA game that comes out soon will be 2k18.

This actually looks very interesting. Yet, I can see where if there was a bit more "efficiency" with determin parts to replace and making a shopping list ist would be better. I think kids who love to pull things parts would love this game....and yeah this game in VR would be a trip.

The whole idea that a car could have a whole front subframe that needs to be replaced is totally ridiculous. I've seen a bent control arm or two, but damaged subframe? lol.

My first car had to have it's front subframe replaced - 20 plus years and the thing had just rusted through.

Wow. You must live in a worse part of the rust belt than me. My 94 golf has some body rust on the floor panel and rocker, and I've had to replace a thin sheet metal core support on it due to rust, but never in the 5 years of being a mechanic have I seen a subframe anywhere near damaged due to corrosion.

Whoever reads this comment... tell Vinny to consider making this a series. This was very relaxing, thank you.

I'm always on the lookout for games I can play while listening to podcasts or watching shows on a second screen. They need to be games that don't require a lot of concentration and sound isn't important. Slime Rancher is the one I'm using for this right now and it's pretty relaxing.

This game seems super satisfying, popping everything back together with nice new, clean parts. Very tempted to grab it!

Thanks for another really good QL Duders.
