Help Your Son Rebuild the Engine of Your Classic Car
/ theguysmanual
Grape-Nuts and ESPN's Kenny Mayne team up to show you the way to some father-son bonding when your son wants to learn how to rebuild the engine of your antique 65 Pontiac GTO in this episode of the Guy's Manual.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Guys, we like to collect stuff, right? And being a father means teaching your kids the importance of said stuff. Stuff like Robert's prized '65 GTO.
SHAWN
Hey Dad, will you show me how take apart the engine on your GTO?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Okay, first of all, Robert, you're not a comic in the Catskills. This is not the correct reaction. Here are several nuggets of wisdom you can use to get through this experience without blowing a gasket. This is rare chance to bond with your teenage kid. Grab it. All right. No father wants to look like a fool in front of his kid. So you need to prepare before the big day. You need to be like Mr. Miyagi with this car.
ROBERT
Blower Inlet Shunt.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
All right, Bobby! If do right, no can defend. Next tip, make sure you know where all your parts are. You don't want to finish the job and have this happen. Rob, we talked about the spittakes, man. Okay, now take it slow and steady --
SHAWN
What's this dad?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Okay, Rob, don't panic. It's good this happened. Brings me to my next tip. When you are in a jam, don't be afraid to call an audible.
ROBERT
Hey, Shawn, who don't you go get some sandwiches at that place on the corner?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
And, in this case, the audible is a ""Hail Mary"" pass is a mechanic named Art. Way to think outside the box, Robert. Now it's time to finish the job.
SHAWN
Should we see if she starts?
ROBERT
It's all you, kid.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Well done, Rob. The next thing you need to teach him is how to get a bra off. Guys, I'm talking about the leather thing on the front of the car! Come on. Until next time, enjoy being a man who gets things done.
