In what way? Based on the comments I've read on his videos...his audience isn't exactly full of Rhodes Scholars or even car enthusiasts.

YouTube comments are a mixed bag no matter what you are watching... They don't have a reputation for adding much value to a video.

All I'm saying is that having a large Youtuber provide content and praise for a machine that hasn't been produced for 7 years will draw more attention to this car we all love.

I think this will be a great thing for the community. His tech videos are very informative for those of us who don't already know everything. Plus, I figure the attention he draws to our cars can only help the values of our cars.

Not likely to any measurable degree. It's still just a Honda. But we can wish, can't we.

Saw some quality comments on a Frank Ocean music video once.

I think most YouTube video comments are inciteful. A few are even insightful.. :s

Those who think they know it all are extremely annoying to those of us that do! Looking forward to those discounting these videos producing some of your own.

As neither an engineer nor a mechanic I find the Engineering Explained videos interesting and useful. Including his rare retractions.

The second pull and reading is the first accurate reading on these cars.
I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. If my car has been sitting for a while (more than a day) the first reading on the stick is exactly the same as any other.
