The better you look the more clicks you get from old perves which helps pay the bills.

You guys do know she knows more about cars than 90% of the people on this forum right? She has built probably 20 cars in her short life time haha. Has another 9 second manual car she built as well. She has other people helping her too yeah, but who wouldn't? You guys act like she's some model (she does virtually zero modelling) that they stuck in front of a camera who doesn't know cars. She was a relatively small channel until she got her C8 and she worked hella hard for what she has now. She's wrenching on cars every day. Can everyone here say the same? No? Cool.

She has the fastest C8 in the world right now and I have no idea why people on this forum are so hell bent on trashing a fellow member of the Corvette community who is actually helping to test and develop parts which will push this platform forwards for the rest of us.

Jealousy, she is running a successful business making money and hiring employees and living her dream. The trolls can't stand it!

You can't. They were attempting to use the laptop to Clear the DCT Codes in hopes that would unlock/reset the trans. It was unsuccessful. But like most things electronic, rebooting it seemed to temporarily fix the problem.

Sadly, “trashing” each other is a hallmark of this forum. For the record, I never trashed her. She has chosen to become a public figure and as such, improving appearance improves chances for greater success, especially for women. I simply noted the obvious.

And got your drooling in the process. You guys act like you haven’t seen this before. Did y’all just get out of prison or something?

Jealousy! Most of the guys here would love to have a wife that was this into cars. They don't, and try to make themselves feel better about their current situation by bashing this type of girl!

She is fronting those business how easily you are fooled. She is an actress and a pretty good one at that.

who cares if she had a nose job or any F*&$^&% job. She has gone thru some dark times. I give her props for fighting thru it, hanging in there and her success. All the best to a girl in finding her dream!

Some people here are such snobs, it’s disgusting really. Emelia has singlehandedly opened up numerous modification avenues for regular consumers because of her tinkering. Smh ungrateful misogynistic boomers still waving their canes because “a woman in my secret club”.

We all know where this thread was headed for at the outset.

It’s not her, it’s the other boomers who are drooling over a 25 year old influencer thinking it’s all authentic that I’m calling out.

And the truth comes out. Most of the guys here specifically want a hot 25 year old wife who’s into cars and this serves as **** to them. If Emelia was a dude you wouldn’t be tripping over yourselves to defend his honor.

Since I stated this post I'll say... As a boomer (and proud of it), I don't get it. Emelia is cute. Sure. But, I don't think she'd be in the top 1M R-rated clickbait chicks on the internet. And, I don't know, her little adventures seem real to me. Of course, I'm on wife number four and have never spent much time figuring out what women are selling me.

I have watched some of her Corvette videos. I didn't notice. Plenty of people that don't have YouTube channels get this type of work done.

Do you go to all the YouTube guys channels and investigate if they have work done?

Keep in mind by trade she is a trained actress who has starred in feature films prior to this channel. https://www.emeliahartford.com/about
As I’ve said before “scripted reality show” probably best describes it.

BTW: In the video, Emilia initially had concerns opening the frunk or rear hatch with a low battery or dead battery. Just so everyone knows, there is a manual frunk release under the dash and a key hole behind the rear license plate to manually open the rear hatch, along with a key hole under the side air ducts for the doors. I guess it pays to read some of the manual.
