Congratulations, Waylon. You and your family have raised a fine young man. We've watched him grow from an awkward adolescent into a thoughtful, considerate member of the community. Noa, Congratulations on your graduation, and God bless in your career. Always remember, it's all about caring for those in need. You're a fine young man; you've earned our respect.

Congrats to Noah and Family. He seems like a great guy. Time spent with his granddad driving and tinkering on those vehicles has been a foundation for independence too. Well done Waylan.

You're a cool guy and wish I knew ya brother. I'm Johnny Angel Clark from bike builds and rods and lost all literally from a fall from a building and deflated a lung and was hospital for 3 months and came home to all lost having 6 rods, Harleys and my 287000 house all gone, all. I'm 65 and living in a basement with not even a car. Life can hurt my friend I went from a proud father and grandfather to a vagabond with no way out. Your show makes me happy as I can be. Johnny Angel Clark. God bless Waylon

After my stroke, I had lost all of my horses, my 71 ranchero got, all my money. I now have my home that I fight to keep every month, and an old truck that I can’t afford to drive. God continues to bless, I have my garden and my chickens, my dog and my wife of 48 years. She’s in a wheelchair so we lean on each other. Maybe life ain’t so bad after all.

Well done Noa! EMT is a noble profession. I was Noa's age in 1971 when my dad introduced me to my 1953 Dodge 1/2 ton. Flathead six, four speed, no power steering or brakes, and no turn signals! Turn signals were optional in 1953.

LIving on that mountain, I would think brakes are your best friend! Noa has grown up to be a fine young man and I think you had a lot to do with it Waylon! You don't need wipers when you have a good coat of Rain-X on there. I can drive without wipers in a torrential downpour. My dad's '62 Fairlane had a suicide clutch. One inch off the floor was fully engaged. I saw a fella slide a $2 plastic kiddie pool under his car to catch all the fluids , parts, and tools that fall on the floor. Just sayin'. Thanks for the videos Waylon!

Granny low was my Willy's utility wagon with a Ford 289/4speed/over/under drive. 4 shift levers! 4 speed, hi/low 4wd, 4wd in/out, over/under drive. In 1 st gear 4wd low lock underdrive top speed was 3mph... I could let it idle along in the bottom of the ditch as I picked up trash. Get to the end hop back in and go to the other side. Thing was the ultimate rock and log climber! On a local jeep trail I was the only one who made it up the gravel slope. Thing had massive amounts of torque so I let it do its own thing!
