They tried as hard as anybody, and that's what counts.
Just watched it, thinking I might use it in a seminar on culture and learning. Very impressive educator, but the film disappointed me a little, as a film. It's too short, and it matters because we learned too little about the car and about the teacher's methods. Still, what an amazing teacher. What a remarkable set of cars.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
