Not a very exciting video, but inspiring. He’s blind, works on cars and runs a small business;

I wonder if he is way better at judging what size sockets he needs for a job then we are.

Sometimes when I pay for someone to do work on my cars, I feel like they are blind.

I’d like to see more on this guys work…would be cool if they shadowed him more to see how he goes about fixing a car, grabbing tools, etc.

Also found it funny that he turned the lights on when he entered the shop.
