Ok, so months ago when I first started up the mustang I took a video of it running because it's the first motor I built, blah blah blah, and I put it up on youtube mainly so I could show it off to you here. Yesterday I got home from work and among the emails was one from youtube telling me I had a message regarding the "302 start up" video. I log in to youtube & go to my messages & there's one titled: "aweome(sic) video 302 clip." This in itself is odd because the video is the furthest thing from impressive that I've seen on youtube, it's thoroughly ordinary, sub-par actually. So I open it up & here's the contents:
"i was wondering did you have to pump the gas to the carburator to start that car up??? and i was wondering can you record the carburator alot when the car is hard to start or thats been sitting a while"
Ok, so I figure it's a kid with an actual question about how to start a car that's been sitting. I couldn't really make sense of the second sentence, I figured the word "record" was chosen in mistake. maybe he got it mixed up with "retard" in regards to timing or whatever and he was again asking what to do to start a car that's been sitting and doesn't want to start. So I write him this: If the carb is dry and you have a mechanical pump rather than electric you can pour about an ounce and a half of fuel down the vent tube of the carb's float bowl(s). It's either that or just keep cranking until the pump fills the carb up." And I hope the kid doesn't catch himself on fire taking my advice.
Today I get home and there's another question from the same guy, here's the contents:
"welll i was wondering can you make another clip of you trying to start the 302 when the carburator is dry and i was also wondering can you record under the hood of the carburator pumping the gas after each crank really trying to start it i like to see what really happens if you dont mind I love old cars but missing working on them... if you dont mind recording it

So now I just think the guy is retarded or something. (pardon my insensitivity, I do need work on that). I'm all set to send off a cheery "go piss at the wind or something, why would I waste my time like that?" But just out of curiosity I go check out the videos he has posted. This is the part where you sit down and/or swallow your beverage. The guy has a fetish that has something to do with hard to start automobiles. Also feet, but mostly if they are pumping the gas pedal of a hard to start car. I'm not joking at all, check it out:
This first one doesn't seem so odd, since it's all snowed in and cold. His friends' comments are a little odd though, like
"VERY nice movie, I wish the battery had been empty before it finally started"
"Man that was great! Please make a video of you totaly killing the battery. Thanks"
You don't need to watch the whole thing, just skip through - the next ones are better but this is his first:
Ok, this one is better, the suspense builds and the guy seems as creepy as a guy with a funny benign fetish could be. Listen closely to him talking to himself in the begining and looking around anxiously and swearing when it appears the battery will give out before it starts. Oh yeah -and he labels the video with "The truck hasn't been started for two months!" like that's an awesome thing, which to him it is. Because who knows if it will start or not, it's so exciting!
Are you spellbound yet? Because it gets better.
The next is more of the same, no real need to watch it, but a couple times when it just begins to fire up he shuts it off to you know, extend the climax a while. What is REALLY good about this video is the comments though, the gems are posted below it:
I like to see yur hairy leg and yur foot on the gas pedal. Wish I was there with yu in yur truck.
hi jeremy, your videos are very hot for me.
Thank you for post them
So fabulous. I really like when I could see your foot on pedal. And you're break pedal's so used ! I would like to see more of you driving or cranking your truck !
This video is so stupid, what is the purpose of this video??? Haven't you ever heard of taking your truck to the shop??? It looks like you are just makeing it not start on purpose and what is with all these ghey cranking and pumping videos is it some kind of sick fetish!!!!
nice vids, you got any inside shots of you cranking and pumping?
and here's jeremy's reply to his kindred spirits and the smart alecs who tell him to try peeing on the battery and whatnot:
well for those of you that gave me all the good comments thanks so much i understand your desire,s and fetish or feeling!!!!!!!but for those who didn,t like it well dont watch it and dont comment!i did ask anything out of you! only those who like this the cold mornings and hard to start old cars and olds trucks i am glad you enjoyed it and hell yeah it was cold as hell you can tell how then engine started to crank over slow..
There are more cold starting videos, but really if you've seen one you've pretty much seen 'em all. I sure do feel sorry for his truck, the poor thing. Who says that pornography is victimless?
Quite a bit creepier is Jeremy's secret camera videos of women's feet. Stick to the cold truck porn Jeremy, it won't put you in jail or get you hit in the head. I'm so intrigued that I would actually consider making a video of the car trying to start, except that I'd have to be a total smart ass and make something startling happen to scare the shit out of Jeremy. Like something with a bloody severed foot maybe.
Ever seen Two Lane Blacktop?
I've seen front tires worn the way your dad's was. The previous owner ran it under-inflated, there's nothing to do but replace the tire. The VT500 Ascot I gave my buddy had that same problem (the previous owner was apparently dumb enough to have caused this problem, among many others...)
and while we're on fetishes, i have a mechanically inclined/ competent fetish. just to share.
