Adam and I were tired of how unrealistic maintenance videos for cars are on Youtube. 

The shows are either terrible at giving directions, or they make it look way too easy, clean, and quick. That's not how it actually goes.

In real life, working on cars is generally terrible. It's expensive, dirty, dangerous, difficult, and takes longer than you planned.

You're going to suffer if you fix your car yourself. This means cursing, dirt, broken tools, mistakes, cuts, regret, then finally satisfaction.

So with Mom's Garage (placeholder name for now), we do informative yet entertaining maintenance how-to videos,  but without the typical annoying music montages and impossibly perfect setting.

In this first episode, we take the 1995 Toyota Camry V6 2DR Coupe for some maintenance:

Headlight replacement
Underbody plastic replacement
Oil Change

It starts off normal enough, then devolves into burps, frustration, injury, snapped clips, and eventual success!

Also applies to any 1991-1996 model year Camry (XV10)
