Majority of his videos now days consists of clickbait where one either goes: &#8220;No shit Sherlock&#8221; or bullshit opinions that are extremely dated from the 1970&#8217;s-1990&#8217;s at most where usually early gen x\/younger boomers (generation Jones) to anybody from the silent generation usually holds due to usually willful ignorance. Not saying everyone those cohorts hold these opinions, but they&#8217;ve either lived through or their youth was mostly founded on the time when the US car industry was doing shitty. His opinion of &#8220;Chrysler is junk&#8221; is because Chrysler was actually shit in the 1980&#8217;s. The Japanese car industry was booming during that decade while the US car industry was doing shit then.&nbsp;\u200bDangerous mechanic advice: My issue isn&#8217;t his either &#8220;well duh&#8221; or shitty opinions, it&#8217;s actually his advice that could hurt or kill you. Before his clickbaity videos of him spouting his &#8220;well duh&#8221; or dogshit outdated opinions, he did some mechanical videos. The ones I&#8217;ve seen him do could actually hurt or even kill you. He even demonstrates himself not using jack stands, which even a fucking book called &#8220;Auto repair for dummies&#8221; OUTRIGHT STATES that not using jack stands could have the vehicle crush you and kill you. On chapter 1\/part 1 and page 20 of that book it even outright states &#8220;Jacks are used only to get a vehicle off the ground. They should never be used to hold a vehicle in place.&#8221; and &#8220;You must use jack stands when you work underneath your vehicle. If you don&#8217;t, you run risk of serious injury or even death. People have been crushed to death when vehicles that were improperly secured fell on them.&#8221; (Sclar, Deanna, and John O\u2019Dell. Auto Repair. John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc, 2019.
