    RIP Hummingbird. He was only a little guy, but he made a big difference in the world. What a hero
  • @Sanger_dk
    The fact that chrisfix goes onto older videos and likes the new posts is a sign that he is very dedicated on this platform and also a really nice guy
  • @Ieaf.
    As an car guy, Chrisfix is an mechanic that doesn't rage or swear on his project cars. What a legend.

    Today my 6 year old son told me I should get “spray starter fluid” to start my car that’s been sitting. He said he knows because he watches “Chris fix” I looked it up here & sure enough! Thanks Chris for teaching my little one mechanics! Lord knows this momma needs the help! 😂

    "Yeah, don't worry, we will just watch a movie." 20 minutes later 1:50
  • I remember watching this video when it came out several years ago when I had purchased my first car and I had no idea how to fix anything on it. Watching your videos gave me confidence and knowledge and yesterday I just bought an '04 mustang. I'm really excited to have the knowledge and the ability now to feel comfortable with cars. Thanks for what you do.

    "Extra lubrication is never a bad thing" My GF : 🙄🧐
  • Working on a car laid up for two years during COVID. This video has been fantastic for getting the old Mazda 3 road ready! Thanks so much!
  • @jeremyduran9771
    When you watched newer episodes and find the video where the driftstang was born :(
  • @sandywaffle4247
    50% of comments: rip hummingbird/hummingbird jokes Other 50%: "extra lubrication is never a bad thing"
  • I just love that at the moments when he puts the key in and out of the lock, there is no moans, adult jokes, etc. Thank you
  • Crazy to think that I watched this video new 6 years ago. This car has come a long way, it’s so cool to rewatch these older videos. Love your content!
