I am a full time Magician & Illusionist, I know magic but lots of other things allude me. I am not good at fixing things, building things, etc. Last week Natalie (my wife) & I were performing at a school show and after the show we loaded our van, plugged our destination into the navigation, and went to start the car and nothing happened. My battery seemed OK so I called my personal mechanic and we decided it was probably my starter. He told me I could hit it with a hammer and that would loosen corrosion which would make it fire, he then had to tell me where it was on my van. When I looked under the van all I saw was metal. I did not even know what a starter looked like, I had to Google a picture of a car starter. I found it and hit it like crazy but nothing happened so I went onto youtube.com and typed in "how to fix a car starter" and got several videos. Howcast had a video called How to Fix a Car Starter. It was great. It was in laymen's terms and seemed to really speak to me. I was able to fix my own starter because this video showed me what I was working with.
Howcast is devoted to making the best 'how to' videos on the internet. Not only does Howcast have auto help videos, but at this time they have 7,950 other videos on youtube. Their videos are on all kinds of subjects broken into categories: sports & fitness, food & drink, technology, personal care & style, arts & recreation, & more. If it were not for Howcast and their video I may have had to spend a ton of money on a tow truck, they saved the day.
