Ep 12. Bucking Colt

When it comes to car repairs, there are few things more frustrating than a problem that seems to come and go with no rhyme or reason. That's exactly the conundrum facing Jared and Lou, the dynamic duo at the heart of Car Fix season 9 episode 12, Bucking Colt.

As the episode opens, Jared and Lou are in their shop, trying to diagnose a mysterious problem that's been plaguing their latest project: a beautiful red 1966 Mustang GT. The car seems to run fine when it's cruising around on the highway, but as soon as it's put through its paces on the track, it starts to buck and stutter, making it nearly impossible to get a smooth ride.

Of course, as any car enthusiast knows, a mystery like this is just the sort of problem Jared and Lou live for. They dig in, examining every aspect of the Mustang's engine and electrical system, trying to figure out what could be causing the issue. Along the way, they turn to their trusty array of diagnostic tools, from multimeters and infrared thermometers to pressure gauges and fuel testers.

As they work, Jared and Lou take time to explain exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it, making Bucking Colt just as educational as it is entertaining. By the time they've narrowed down the problem to one particular system, viewers are sure to feel like they've gained some serious insights into the workings of a classic muscle car.

But of course, it's not just about the technical details. One of the things that makes Car Fix such a fun show to watch is the chemistry between Jared and Lou, which is on full display throughout Bucking Colt. Whether they're joking around as they swap out parts under the hood or discussing the finer points of car culture over lunch, there's a genuine camaraderie here that's impossible to fake.

Ultimately, Bucking Colt is a triumph of meticulous diagnosis and expert repair work. By the end of the episode, Jared and Lou have not only identified the root cause of the Mustang's problems, but they've come up with a comprehensive plan for fixing it and getting the car back on the road (or track, as the case may be). As always, they make it look easy, but it's clear that their skills and expertise are hard-won and well-deserved.

If you're a fan of classic cars, or just appreciate a good mystery (and a satisfying ending), you won't want to miss Car Fix season 9 episode 12, Bucking Colt. It's a testament to the joys of problem-solving, the beauty of vintage automobiles, and the importance of a good partner in crime (or repair, as the case may be).
