Default Why doesn't RL have a video How-To library?

So, this thread got me to thinking...

I'm not flying to Maryland to see this, but it would be cool to watch.

In another car (Saturn) forum, of which I am a member, there is a How To library. The first few posts are stickies with links to YouTube, where members have posted "how to" videos. Just about everything is covered, from fender replacement to sensors and troubleshooting AC.

The pics here on RL are great, and people are great about answering questions but having a library of videos would be amazing.

Videos like that might have to have a NWS tag for language. I know I've had more than a few choice words with my car while working on it.

I think the only reason this doesn't exist, is nobody's created it yet.

A shame really. I've found a few videos, but nothing major. I've thought of making them myself for my own benefit actually.

It would be extremely helpful if the DIY section had more than 3 threads (sarcasm). Real technical information. I have to resort to Clarks Garage, but sometimes I'd like a picture of a part I'm working with, which isn't always supplied. I'd be willing to contribute, as I work on my car every once in a while.

A video section would blow this place out of the water. So many people that don't know how easy it really is to work on these things. I'd love to see how-to vids for even, basic maintenance.

Because you haven't made one yet.

Be the change you wish to see in Rennlist.

Any movie I made would be considered an epic... I can easily turn a 1 hour job into a full day...

When I work on cars, my friends tell me to put the wrench down and back away slowly
