This is Steve's head gasket story, starring the old Pontiac Grand Prix. I promise I'll have normal content back in a bit! I've been pulled in so many directions lately, but I have almost a dozen videos in the works, about half of which are fully recorded.
I know the audio is a little weird; still trying to get it to sound natural without the whispering-in-your-ear effect.
http://carssimplified.com/ - A new Chevrolet Corvette C8 test car may have been spotted on a test dive recently! Cars Simplified gives you a little history about Chevy and GM's attempt at making mid-engined cars. Given other recent occurrences, this Corvette may not only be mid-engined, but may also be a hybrid or electric model!

http://carssimplified.com/ • Steve attended the 2017 Regular Car Reviews car meet; here are some of the highlights of the footage he gathered, including Mr. Regular driving a Hahn fire truck.
Sometimes the vehicles that make it to the meet end up being reviewed by Regular Car Reviews.

Next time you replace a wheel hub or hub bearing, keep the wheel studs! Automotive repair shops often strip the threads or knurling on the studs, and will need something to replace them with. The studs on the old wheel bearing definitely fit your car (you won't have to worry about ordering the wrong ones!) and will only cost you some time if you already have the tools! Removing the wheel studs when the hub bearing is off the vehicle is easier in some ways, but you need to be careful not to get pinched or snapped at by your tools!
If a wheel stud is stripped, obviously you wouldn't want to include that in your just-in-case supplies for the repair shop, but this removal technique should still work on them. Don't forget to recycle your wheel hub/wheel bearing if you can!
Wheel stud removal tool and supplies:
The tool by itself: https://amzn.to/48Q4CjU *
The kit I personally own: https://amzn.to/3FiKYzE *
Adjustable wrench / spanner: https://amzn.to/3S0xi3S *
Work gloves: https://amzn.to/3LZm3om *
ANSI Z87.1 glasses: https://amzn.to/3LZLKoX *
(The specialty tool here is considered a ball joint separator, in case you want to find your own, but make sure the opening in the back is wide enough for the head of the wheel stud.)

The original lights in this 2015 Ram 1500 aren't too bright, so Steve got to work fixing that.
This is a different bulb than what was used in the video, but we have liked these more than the brand used in the video: https://amzn.to/2qE4n7R

Side view mirrors have been around for a long time, but we've had the technology to improve on them for quite some time. What's the new technology? Cameras and screens. Instead of a large reflective panel, we can use the ever-shrinking technology of cameras to greatly reduce the size of the object sticking out of the car, which will improve car design in a number of ways.
Bonus advantage: Assuming the screens are inside the car, the driver doesn't have to look away from the road as much to see the side view screen, improving overall awareness at any given moment.
At the time of this video, Audi and Lexus have side view camera designs but they are not allowed in the United States.

Automatic high beams are a much newer technology than the automatic headlights we talked about in the previous video. What makes one forward-facing illumination source different than another? Well, after watching the video explaining how the automatic headlights work, this video goes further to explain how the basic systems are expanded upon, and different sensors are used to operate the high beams effectively.
Automatic high beams (in theory) take the guesswork out of when the high beams need to be turned on or off, allowing for the most focus on the road thanks to reduced time fiddling with the controls. Cameras and sensors are used to determine if the high beams should be on or not by identifying other vehicles and lighting conditions and making an assessment.
Do you have a vehicle with automatic high beams? How well do they work for you? Let us know in the comments section of this video!
Toyota, Honda, Subaru, BMW, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and other companies have various names for their automatic high beam systems, and may have slight differences, but this video explains how automatic high beams work on a basic level that covers most, if not all, systems.
What is "Automatic High Beams"?
Aside from being a weird way to put that, automatic high beams are a feature found on some modern vehicles (often with extra safety features beyond the base level trim) that will automatically shut off your high beams for you if a car is coming towards you, or if you get close enough to a vehicle in front of you.

Goodyear Assurance Maxlife tires are certainly a long-life tire if you are constantly driving on them, but other factors still take a toll on them. These tires are best suited to vehicles that will use them all year long, and driven many miles to take full advantage of the tread durability before they decay from age. If you experience snow where you live, you might only get good use out of these tires if you drive A LOT in the summer season or drive the vehicle south with you during the winter.
Additional details for this review:
Vehicle: 2018 Subaru Crosstrek (w/ EyeSight)
Tire Size: 225/60R17 99H
More information can be found on this product page: https://amzn.to/3xQFs6V *
Tire Brand: Goodyear Tire, https://www.goodyear.com/ (NASDAQ: GT)

I know how to look up parts; I have been a parts buyer for years and worked the parts counter for over five years. With that established, I've noticed that when buying parts for my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, a bunch of the parts listed as parts that are direct fits are actually parts that fit the first generation Crosstrek XV (2017 and older). Since a lot of people watch my content for Crosstrek stuff, I figured I should inform who I can.
