The thing about strolling around on Reddit is that you never know what you're going to find, like this crazy car repair shop commercial that has us laughing for minutes now.
Arlen is the shiftiest guy in Burbank, California. He says he's got 25 years of car repair experience, but most of that time must have been spent on wooing women with his big smile, his Prince of Persia accent and his manly fingers.

"Wooing women with your man fingers? Are you crazy?" is what you probably said. But just watch how he gently caresses the young girl's hand as they file a part together and 'shift it, shift it in forward, shift it, shift it in reverse".

The Don Juan of auto repair definitely has some game with the ladies, but we're seriously doubting his skills with a spanner until he uploads a music video about changing oil or replacing bushings and bearings.

Editor's note: I just shifted my pants laughing! Also, is that a VW Kubelwagen?

Update: The guy is named Goorgen Zargarian, he's Iranian, and he's famous now.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
