The spirited Red Green, handyman and proud member of the Possum Lodge in frozen Canada, presents an hour's worth of some of the strangest automotive advice ever put on video. Green, his impossibly nerdy nephew Harold, and other characters from CBC's Red Green Show (which appears in America on PBS) present this tribute to the automobile in their lovably wacky style, which consists of loopy humor and jokes so utterly awful that they're brilliant. Utilizing his old standby, duct tape, Red Green begins by making a zamboni (a hockey arena ice-treating machine) out of a Chrysler K-car, and his awesome (or is it awful?) handyman skills are put on display throughout the video. In one segment Red makes new tires out of PVC pipe and old shoes, shows off his prowess (or lack thereof) at filling a dent with body putty, and, in a bizarre finale, takes an old Trailways bus and creates a sports car, a very long sports car. If the gags are often horrendous, they are delivered in an infectiously understated manner, and those who appreciate folksy Canadian humor will no doubt find Red Green driving them to laughter. --Robert J. McNamara
