Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Okay, let's do an oil change. We mostly work on cool cars, but by gawly, you can't drive a 68' 427 Vette every day of the week, you've got to have something to haul groceries with. So our cameraman drives this Subaru and Dave is going to do a pretty thorough job; he's checking the fluid level for the radiator there, he's checking the windshield washer fluid, the power steering fluid, he's giving it a pretty careful look here. It's pretty messy under there, we've got squirrel food, pine needles, dirt, so Dave is cleaning it out pretty nice, it makes his work look better, it's also a fire hazard. I've put out maybe two fires in my life, three fires, four probably the more I think about it, caused by grease and leaves, and pine needles and squirrel food all mixed together. You want to get that out of there.
