You too! Have a great honeymoon!!
Still having a good time? Enjoy your honeymoon you two.
Yeah! Go enjoy yourselves! Be sure sure to tells all about it when you get back!
Hey you two have a great honeymoon and stay safe and sane during these woke times.💍🥂🍾🇺🇸
That raccoon jumping out of the engine of one Mercedes to run to the other Mercedes is just priceless.

Such a gold digger 😂
There are people who could break an anvil with a rubber mallet.
😂 I like that.
Fuckin' stealing that one. Cheers.
Ain't that the truth!
Or without a rubber mallet, apparently.
I always say they could fuck up a crowbar in a sandbox.
The sales man who crashed the Charger actually did the costumer a favor to find a better price at a different “Stealership” 😂🤣🤣🤣
Almost 90k for a not Dodge Viper. I assume that is CAD, but still...
Unfortunately, if the customer already signed the paperwork, they might be in a very tough position legally.
@@nnelg8139 not if the dealer was driving it. Dealers insurance is on the hook
@@nnelg8139 even if you signed it I think until you take possession of the car paper and the cars key the shop insurance still is in play. Especially if it is the shop staff who crash the car … anyway I would ask for a new one with all option and whistle … I think the shop is more in a bad way … they have a crashed a car worth 90k… (worth …. Kinda)
Really want to buy a dodge piece of garbage save your money for 20 Years and by a maserati or ferrari.
So nice of these customers to add an inspection hole into the block to make it easier for the mechanic to determine the issue.
Those are actually rod evacuation ports. The vehicle will eject them if it senses a problem
If you can look into the inspection port and see the bottom of the spark plug, you may have a problem.
I love seeing the "Customer declined job and was towed in 2 weeks later" I worked on cars for years and can testify this stuff happens all the time
Yep I've seen it myself also. An unexpansive job turned into an expensive one.
No doubt the customer blamed the shop/ tried to claim warranty, or both.
I've done it to myself a couple times, but I knew better and can only blame myself.
@@JustRolledIn Don't you mean it turns into a write-off!
I was an RV mechanic for 5 years, we would often identify propane leaks during annual inspections customers would decline that all the time, by law we were required to disable the propane system to avoid having a customer blow themselves up. All the time is an understatement.
BTW, this goes both ways. I took my nearly new Z06 in to the dealer due to a “clunk” sound that had developed in the rear suspension. They could find no problem. Of course, the “clunk” was obvious as I left, so I took it back. No problem found. Third time I asked if I could see the underside for myself, and the “lead mechanic” at this dealer took me into the bay and I walked under the rear of the car and instantly noticed that one of the fasteners that held the large U-clamps that secured the anti-sway bar was missing and the U-clamp was just hanging. It took me two seconds to see it. I pointed it out and the “master mechanic” literally turned red.
"master" mechanic lol. We had a guy that put too much pride into that title at one of my jobs and he was the laziest, fattest, good for nothing, dwindling ,swindling S.O.B.I have ever met. He thought just because he's had that position and title for over 15 years at that shop he automatically deserved the utmost respect and it was supposed to be a given that what ever he said was gold and no one else could contest him. He was so narcissistic because of this too, all the other guys would never talk back to him , challenge him on anything, etc.. but I did. I called his BS all the time so he tried to get my fired by telling our manager that I was stealing air fresheners 😂 The very first day I came to work there He didn't introduce himself or say anything other than" are you a betting Man?" And I told him it depends but basically the bet was if I could change a set of brakes faster than him I would win $100, so I put up my money and told him let's get to it, He tried to get one of the helpers to rack the car on the lift for him and I said no, that is part of the service, you have to rack and set the loft yourself. Since he was a disgusting fatbody , I wiped the floor with him . Easiest 100 I ever made
@@GerstBladeworks Haha, classic. What a great story.
Ya but that’s what you should expect if you own a corvette, dumb car, dumb owners, dumb mechanics 🤣
@@vintageexcellence Hey everybody, found the car expert.
@@glashoppah you know it's true because @vintageexcellence said so. Never doubt his word. He's edumacated on this subject.
I WOULD NEVER GET THAT SCREAMING WINDOW FIXED🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I want those windshield wipers that go "die die die"
I just want the motor
To put on a stand with a button and run it occasionally
You would if you’re married, you hear that sound often enough
Fixed it needs the seal cleaning
I want the car that farts!
Hats off to the customer who was able to save his engine with the destroyed oil filter
Yeah , most would ignore the lack of oil pressure light and then after a trail of oil we’d find a destroyed car with a bunch of stuff everywhere ( or maybe not) depending how it failed
NO that guy is an idiot! Yes, get it to the dealer. NO DON’T FUCKING DRIVE IT THERE. Have it towed. He is lucky his engine didn’t seize.
Yep... and that motor was mint underneath too.... even the filter itself was polished up..
Gives a whole new meaning to the “Impact Gun”
lmao😂😅😅
And I was like, "sick, free tools!" Lol
Living up to its name
@@DaimyoD0 SAME!!! Like, do you know how expensive an impact gun is!? 🤣
@@PupSentinel And it's a SnapOn, so next time the SnapOn truck rolls in, I can go swap it for a nice n shiny new one. Because lifetime warranty... 🤣
Worked at a dealership in Pennsylvania for a year and the amount of people that say no to preventative maintenance is astonishing
I live in PA too. I wanna know how all these shit boxes on the road pass inspection each year…
@@BassWhoopinFishingTeam as someone who lived in MD, safety inspectors are super easy to bribe
To be fair, mechanics ain't really known for their honesty. But yeah , if they recommend it you should change it.
This^^^ so true.
I am a at homemechanic myself simply because of this. Theirs so many gray area things they can jack up the price on and why not, i get it i just dont fall for it
My family mocked me for all the preventative maintenance I shelled out for. I loved my truck and I wanted it to last. They said I was just being ripped off. They don't know anything about vehicles. I had a great shop that I trusted, went there for years. I learned a lot having that truck.
the Rat closing the access hatch cracked me up! 😂
ME TOO. "Hmm, nope, I'm not buying, thank you. [shuts the hatch] Go away"
I appreciate how you merely state plain facts and do not pass judgement, ridicule the customers or otherwise throw feeling into the mix.
Some of these clips are pretty eye-opening as far as how bad rust is up north where it can eat parts of the frame.
I have a winter and non-winter vehicle, both about 15 years old. The non-winter one looks nearly brand new while the other is rusting to hell. Salt sucks.
@@An4lAvenger winter beaters are a dime a dozen up here in the great white north.
Fact of the matter is cars ain't easy. I'm good with computers, not cars. I'm gonna personally make a mistake with my car eventually and well, that's just part of life. You shouldn't be ridiculed for not knowing some specialists knowledge
@@AstralPhnx no one expects people to have specialist knowledge, common sense is another matter though...
i can't tell you how many people have either called ahead or showed up driving the vehicle with brake issues, mainly a busted line pumping out all their brake fluid or seized caliper making the tire lock up, or like now when it's hitting 40 c off and on with humidity and they can't drive for 5 mins without it overheating and coolant boiling out of it...after we told them "don't drive it, get it towed to us".
then they get upset with us, because it costs them more for repairs, or even requires a new block, because they drove a vehicle that was clearly, even to a no where near car expert, has something major wrong with it making it unsafe to drive or possibly damage it more.
several years ago, we had an elderly couple limp in off the hwy in a subaru, packed to the gills to go to their cottage a further hour and a half north. we were already 2 hours north of their hometown. it was a friday afternoon.
their tranny light had come on about 30 mins south on the hwy and they decided to continue, they were going to try and make it to their cottage, but thankfully decided to stop at us... because we're the last repair shop for over an hour, which they didn't know. by the time they reached us, their entire back end was covered in tranny fluid and there was pretty much none left IN the tranny(it's been a while i think they blew a seal or something). they were literally ghosting the last couple of klms to reach us with almost no gears which are controlled by the tranny. they had cooked the tranny driving it without fluids.
so, we basically had to tell them, to get it towed home and it was now undrivable. they asked why couldn't we fix it? we pointed out it was an older model(it was i think about 10 years old at the time), and it would require a new or used tranny in order to be functional again, and that it could take days for us to locate one for them. we're a little 2 bay local garage, we can order parts, but sometimes it can take a few days for delivery as we're rural.
they learned a very, very expensive lesson about using common sense when you have car trouble. the tow truck driver tried to get them a discount, but couldn't and it was a $450 tow one way back... and then they still had to pay for a replacement tranny and labour etc.
In some cases it would be justified. Some people are risking lives here.
4:53 With two accelerators you can go twice as fast
Customer: "I press the brakes and go faster!"
Mechanic: "are you sure let me pull it in the shop"
Slams into wall...
Insurance "yeah you hit the brakes and slammed into a wall... Yeah that totally happens"
Looked to be late 2000s f250/350, my guess is with the 6.4 Powerstroke, which if so totally not surprised at all lmao
this explains so much about people that hit the gas when they should be breaking if the brake peddles not working the brakes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love the audio levels in your videos. the music really really low, lots of silence and small sounds, narrators voice the right level too. ah, thank you
Really appreciate that!
@@JustRolledIn it's truly so much nicer than getting screamed at for 15 minutes lol, thank you
yeah the videos are ironically relaxing
Yes and the narrator has a pleasing voice too. These videos are great.
@@JustRolledIn When the "theme" is not made up, but kinda "documentary", music usually ruins it. So, I also appreciate the "natural" sound of the videos! I love these. No mocking, no gleeful shaming, just the facts peppered with some dry sarcasm. PERFECT!!!
The glove box fastener job at the end of the video is pretty legit. Probably better than some factory fasteners.
As a retired mechanic I love this! Brings back a lot of funny memories from over 35 years of working on crazy People's cars! I wish we would have had cell phones back then!
Being a full time welder, all of those “customer installed” exhausts made me wanna spew🤦🏻♂️
Galvanized fence post and aluminum dryer duct 🤣🤣🤣 threw my back out laughing
My personal favorite was the shop that professionally installed the exhaust with all the fill wire from a MIG jetting out everywhere. I guess you can weld with out gas, who knew🤷🏼♂️
Harbor Fright welder run by Chucky who just got promoted from wash bay to exhaust systems.
I have no professional welding experience at all and those weld jobs made me want to spew.
I just started welding not to long ago, I have probably done about ten little projects that required welding and I can say with confidence that these people cant weld for shit
I'm amazed at how much damage that mattress did.
As for the rest of the video, some people should not be allowed access to motor vehicles 🤯
Most of these humanoids should not be allowed access to oxygen!
It's what happens when you follow too close
@@beast0382 that's a major issue and that people think.. "meh, i'll just drive over whatever, i gots clearance"... or they can't avoid it due to traffic around them, but yeah it's mostly driving too close. i've driven over shit i've shouldn't, but in every single time, it's been a small tree or something over the road, that i can't avoid at any speed and in the middle of a storm lol.
a funny: we don't know when it happened, well i don't, since the ram isn't my main vehicle... but, i went to use it for something and its usual "let's burn off some shit because it's short tripped too much" and i noticed a burning maybe plastic/electronics smell. hubby smokes in it and has burned the plastic ashtrays i put in it before, so i check that first, nope the current one has survived so far. don't see anything wrong on the dash and it's driving fine, so i return it to him and mention the smell and he had noticed it as well recently. a few days later and we're both in it, talking about what it could be, something burning out etc, and he's bitching he doesn't have time to look at or repair his own truck... he finally brings it in and pops it on the hoist... and he had a plastic bag melted underneath lmao!.
@@beast0382 It’s what happens when people don’t properly secure their loads!! One day, there was a pickup truck coming towards me on the highway and he had it loaded with scrap metal. As he went around the curve, a big piece of metal flew out of his truck. It was like slow motion to me. I immediately pulled over as far as I could without going in the ditch and that piece of metal took out the driver’s side of my vehicle. It slashed the rear driver’s side tire too. The State Highway Patrol Officer told me if I wouldn’t have pulled over, that metal might have went through the windshield injuring or killing us. My niece and son were with me.
Including that salesmen that crashed a new car... yeah, way to loose a sale, though I can totally understand if it wasn't his fault but it's hard to tell without context
9:13
I'm a concrete mixer driver, concrete gets everywhere on the trucks, I can tell you that if you just spray it with water it comes right off very easily, just don't let it cure or it'll bend steel. Takes a while to get to that point as well, I'd even be comfortable driving a half hour home and then spraying it off.
The only reason somebody would run into actual problems with their car after driving through wet concrete is if they were the kind of idiot that would drive through wet concrete in the first place, in which case maybe they shouldn't be driving.
"Bumper keeps coming off, when hitting curbs" 🤣🤣🤣
The impact gun is a blessing in disguise 😂 it's a snap on... FOR FREE AND the windshield replacement is probably free depending on insurance
Sadly, not with USAA. You pay your deductible. It is one of their policies I do not like.
Either way the windshield is more than likely cheaper than the impact
@@ravn_blade after i got caught in a microburst and my windshield got basically sandblasted effect in my old escape, it was 300 to replace and we didn't even bother with insurance since our deductible was about 500 at the time i think. now, that i have a newer vehicle... 1200 to replace the windshield and almost as much to get it calibrated because of "safety features" in the newer vehicles.
Just to put a number on how expensive Snap-on is, a brand new from the online store 3/4 drive impact is $1200. And a used one in good condition on ebay $500. So it is "more than likely, more expensive than your windshield"
How much to steam clean the seat and replace their pants after having a code brown?
3rd clip is just, "YOU SURE THAT WAS A PUDDLE BUDDY? LOOKS LIKE YOU DRIVEN THROUGH A GOD DAMN LAKE. WHERE WERE YOU GOING, TO AQUAMAN?!"
Now now, I hear that in some places the definition of a puddle is rather....variable...pffft.
One of my favorite movie quotes from Risky Business: “Who’s the U-Boat Commander?”
had a woman try to warranty a NEW vette. Didn't take much water with such a low air intake to hydraulic the motor and trash the trans. No Lady. That falls under an insurance claim. No matter how much you want it to be warranty.
@@brucecoleman7412 well I know who it ain't and that's that guy
Atlantis or bust...
The best part of this video was that ingenious problem-solving for a broken glove compartment lock. Honestly, I feel like it adds so much character to the car. 🤣
Hiiii
I'm TOTALLY doing that on my VW Thing!
6:38 - I was a MIG welder for nearly 15 years, part of which I worked for an automotive OEM parts manufacturer, including exhaust systems for Ford, and this scene... I'm still speechless. Wow. OMFG.
Guess they didn’t want to spring for the gas with all the money they were saving.
@@sillynacannada6718 that wasn’t gas. That was not having your welder set right.
@@ericduncan7266 that looks like either no gas shield or reverse polarity. Could also be wrong wire for the parenting metal....
I went to a welding class in highschool and on the first day in the shop i was able to make better welds than that. Whoever did that was either retarded or had cerebellar hypoplasia or both.
On the touchscreen issue at 10:00 - the issue with this could be that the buttons are animated on press and the animation files can't be found or loaded. The static display could be the "can't find the animation" default the engineer used
Makes me wonder how in heck they managed to corrupt the infotainment system's computer... Do these cars nowadays also need updates like phone apps and you can screw up the procedure?
@@Kalvinjj Probably. Worst change in automotive history ever. Better leave buttons and knobs for everything except for the fucking radio. Like it used to be
@@andycapo9you be Quiet boomer
@ Andrei Gauna Adamson
Yeah.. be quiet boomer.
Clearly you haven’t dealt with scratchy and degraded rheostats before. Junk!
@@Kalvinjj Most likely to be memory corruption as it's still displaying a picture albeit random noise. Yes cars like Telsa have to be updated.
People just never cease to amaze me. They just don’t realize how hard they make our job. Just a little common sense goes a long ways. Thanks for the videos.
Common sense is not common.
@@leadpelletinass you said it! That doesnt exist anymore
I bet the bald tire came in for an oil change or something unrelated
14:36 I'm glad to see the owner stepped up and got the optional stop sign when buying the car.
15:05 "can't open tailgate" - Nope, me neither!
The welding job on the exhaust at 6:36 -sh is a master work of art, I am laughing out a kidney! TY guys so much for putting these collections together, in sad and panicked times like these it is a well needed relief for many of us.
Your laughing out a kidney and I'm sitting here thinking, "Is this what kidney stones look like? Or some kind of alien creature?" I honestly have no idea what they did to make those welds look like that.
@@johnxina2465 Cold welds? Using a car battery as a power source on a cheap ($9.95, Mechanix Illustrated) welder I've seem that.
@@johnxina2465 Lack of heat, common sense, and skillz comes ta mind, what a frk'n mess eh! Lolololol! What's even funnier to me is that some poor sucker paid for that "work" of art, iya!
@@haroldwilkes6608
On the video posted earlier, a comment suggested that the welds may have been done without the inert gas. Thoughts?
@@Ogsonofgroo
I think he did it himself, but couldn't admit it.
I work on motorbikes alot as part of my job, thankfully most riders tend to look after them at least alittle. Best one I've had so far was a guy came in for mot with a very knocky engine. We asked him when he last had the oil and filter changed. He looked perplexed. When we told him engines need oil he looked at us like we'd just discovered fire. The guys lack of basic knowledge genuinely made me uncomfortable
Seen some amazing things myself over the years. Usually the fact there's no brakeshoes fitted tends to make stopping slightly awkward.
@@ludo9234 I once saw someone fitted wrong brake pads and tried to pack them out to make them fit, I cant remember exactly what he used but it was definitely not the ideal solution
One of the side effects of single mother households. Even the guys grow up not knowing #$%^ about cars.
A generation ago you could expect this level of mechanical incompetence with women. Now after 3 - 4 generations of women raising households on their own, the men who come out of those households are lucky if they ever used a hammer or saw or even worked on a car beyond driving it to the mechanics.
This is what happens when a DAD never existed in ones life, Sad really.
Stupid question: aren't a lot of dirt bikes 2-stroke? Meaning you are supposed to add oil to your gasoline, right? I've literally never owned anything with a 2-stroke engine in it so I am sincerely asking.
The sun roof killed me!!!! 😂 yeah that wouldn’t work so well! The DIY fixes are always……interesting. 😏
The only thing that makes any sense is the guy got the interior of a car with a sun roof from the junk yard and his car didn't have one? I dunno.
@@senorpepper3405 Honestly, at that point you might at well cut the hole in the roof and install one. Though the electrical for it might be an issue.
The farting car caught me so off guard!! I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. I was literally tearing up from laughing!!
The farting car is pure GOLD. 🤣
It had bad gas
That was a great one
@@IanB22 m
It would be a good match if fitted with that raspberry-blowing tyre!
It must have gas
I like that glove box repair at the end. 👍
At least that didn't affect roadworthiness
4:20 ay dont worry it has been straight piped it comes in stock now lmao
2:53 The salesman did him a favor. No one should be dumb enough to agree to a $10k dealer mark-up.
Some dealer mark ups are 50k or more.
@@GoatzombieBubba Banks should absolutely refuse to write auto loans if the price is marked up even $1 over MSRP. That would put a stop to price gouging real quick. If the stealership wants to be the bank to make a sale, then the Sheeple customer deserves all the pain he/she/it gets.
I've been working on cars for 40+years and have to admit a few of these "fixes" were pretty ingenious, at least a few I never thought of
Yeah I never thought cat5 cable was so flexible lol
I liked the glove compartment fix at the end. It was funny and smart. Lol.
Wow. I'm no ASE mechanic, but I've worked on my own cars for almost 40 years. I know what I can and can't do, and some people should not be near a tool or a car! And to think we share the road with these folks....
That last part is the scariest. The cars they “fix” are zipping down the highway next to us and we have no idea.
Being from Southern California and owning a 29 year old Land Cruiser and a 18 year old Acura, I never understood the meaning of the term "Rust Bucket" until I found your channel.
The issue at 10:00. I think the console unit has a fault on the circuit board somewhere. So, when the mechanic pressed it, it would usually glow if you selected a certain climate mode. But because that part of the console circuit board was probably damaged (most likely corrosion or bad ground), it showed a static box. The only way to fix it is to replace the whole circuit board, because those circuit boards are a jigsaw puzzle.
Dad: "HEY KIDS! YOU WANNA GO FOR ICE CREAM?!?!?!?!"
Four 7 year old girls: 1:57
I'm not sure which was better, the screaming window or the farting gas tank. Very entertaining.
I fixed my exhaust pipe with a beer can, 2 hose clamps and some jb weld. The patch lasted 6 years. Still fine when I sold the truck. Only “ rigging” I ever did to a vehicle to date. Except the time I used a string on my wipers for two days when the motor went.
Absolutely staggering the problems some of these vehicles have either from neglect or ignorance on the part of the owner/driver. Thankfully you guys are there to put right, or advise!
Thank you for this, fabulous entertainment. Keep up the great work!
I bond with my vehicles more than most people I know. I work on them constantly, labor of love. That car that was in a flood? I'd just put a head stone on it & call it a day.
I was actually following an SUV this morning that had a brand new kayak still wrapped in plastic on it's roof on the freeway. He didn't even have a roof rack so the kayak was sort of cock eyed! Decided to stay in front of him.
I had mine strapped down and the dam thing still wantted to go flying no one on the raod for miles lucky for me
@@jarroddraper5140 I had a two man 14 foot Hobie kayak. I had ladder racks on my roof so cinching it down was a breeze. I later bought a 14 foot two man canoe and that was a bear to load and unload from the roof of the van. Once on the roof though, those ladder racks kept it on there very securely.
I ran over a ladder in my old 2001 civic last summer. Some luck I had, went over it end to end with both left tires at about 115-120 KPH (70ish mph?) it was the worst rumble strips ever and my car made out of it with no damage! maybe a scratch and small dent at the bottom of the rocker but hell, I can't remember if it was like that already lol. I heard a lot of jingling after I hit it, I'm pretty sure that ladder got destroyed.
And that's why we have a dashcam lol
Well mom seems to like trying to bring the biggest racoon home with our lowest car hasn't worked out yet
16:05 That's a rather elegant repair.
I work at BMW. I love how you know a car is at a bmw dealership. The floors and lighting give away every time. I love these floors. They actually import workers from Europe to install them
These are just as good the second time around.
I forgot a handful of them when I was making the video lol
OMG these people!! 😂🤣😂🤣
My fiance is a mechanic. I bought him the sign that says "I cannot fix stupid, but I can charge for it"
Preemptively insulting customers' intelligence is a great way to increase the shop's profitability.
I love the blues music in the background and do not miss working on vehicles anymore..
My friend just bought a used Kia Sorento.
A couple weeks in, I asked him if he had checked the oil.
Response: “Well, I assume they did that at the dealership.”
And that’s what feeds this channel!
I watch this and upvote it, because it makes me feel like a genius. I'm an old time points and condenser guy. There's some real shit on here!
👍👍
Watching this makes me feel smart also!
Exactly
Oldschool or no school
I am a hillbilly parts changer, not a mechanic, but these folks take the cake. I gotta say the extension cord ball joint repair was... unique.
Every time I think my daily is getting a bit long in the tooth at 20 years old I come here to look at 3 year old vehicles in way worse shape and I feel better
My 33yr old Honda has jump-started every one of my family's vehicles over the 16 years I've had it. Most of them had suburbans, durangos, ram 1500's, jeeps, and a few others. They laugh at my old, but pristine, car. I laugh at them because I have enough savings to take a few years off work without denting said savings. Not to mention its still more engaging to drive than most of these new rolling computers.

2:55 Like that moment you first see a star destroyer... It just keeps going and going, and going
The problem at 12:40 is "stupid" on a whole nother level !!! On a part with the beamer with all that rope and cables and wire holding that ball joint in place !! (Hahaha well it looks in place!)
That VW was a mobile petri dish!
Being in that car would require a biohazard suit and closed circuit breathing apparatus!
I have never before seen a car so badly infected with mold.
I'm just wondering two things--one, why did the owner still have that car, and two, did they drive it in?!
The smell alone....
I feel like I need to go give my truck a hug... gotta take each day I'm given. She might not be around forever.
The 'welding' on that exhaust is something to behold.
its amazing some of the people lived long enough to drive to the shop
Sixteen minutes long, and still not long enough! Thanks for the great videos, JRI!
Thanks for being here 👍
The blown muffler is very common on old carburetored point ignition vehicles. The ignition momentarily turns off due to a loose wire etc. The carburetor keeps putting gas into the engine. Gas hits hot muffler. Boom!
I know they spent like several minutes making fart jokes when 2:05 rolled in
My first vehicle, a 1966 Datsun pickup. While rolling in gear, you could turn off, and back on, the ignition. The unburnt fuel mix in the exhaust, would go bang. Lots of fun, till I went too long, on the pause.
Old cars, are great.
Those are some impressive examples of vehicular incompetence. More power to you, my mechanic friends.
6:53
How do you even make your welds look like that?? That almost looks intentional, like some kind of art project. 🎨
That's what's happens when you lie on an application
It’s the “globbing” method of welding.
Now.. I’ll admit that when I’m welding very thin 4130 channel with a gas welder I’ll lay the rod on cold and then remove the heat the nanosecond it starts to flow.. but this is just laying rod on cold over and over. No penetration at all.
I call those bird shit welds. Scary someone thought those were ok
@@BobSmith-kd6lq Obviously scared that they'd melt through the metal!
tome it looks like MAG welding ......without the Gas
On that Cadillac V12, I had the same thing happen to my 39 Century, except it was caused by a faulty distributor cap that broke & allowed the rotor to pop off the shaft & spin freely firing all the cylinders completely randomly while doing 75 on the freeway. Luckily I keep spare ignition parts in my toolkit for the car, but I had to drive to where I was going & back home without a muffler and the timing slightly off.
The battery thing at 12:39 ... oh. How many times I see that at the parts store I work at.
Just the other week a dude came in after buying a battery from us, trying to cuss us out for selling him a "bad battery" until one of the guys calmly removed the little red cap and gave him that "disappointed dad" look. Dude immediately said "Please don't tell my wife I'm stupid".
His wife was out in the car watching this exchange and losing her shit laughing.
Mechanic: "I found the issue with your vehicle."
Customer: " Yeah? What is it?"
Mechanic: "you, you're the issue.."
In the Tech world we call this an ID-10-T error
Usually it's the nut holding the steering-wheel!
The inner child in me lost it with the farting car. I’ve nearly all the rest but never had a car fart before. That’ll be my all-time favorite.
I gasped when I saw the STOP sign under the vehicle… and burst out laughing when the NO MOTOR VEHICLES sign appeared. LMAO
A lot of these are what my dad calls "widow woman jobs". Also, "Bumper keeps falling off when hitting curbs" - lmao... I had to rewind that one.
Ok the fluid out of that diff looked like really thin aluminum anti-seize……..
Or thick silver paint
Anti seize was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.
What was it???
@@coreywalls6243 not sure, they didn't mention lol
That's exactly what I thought it look like (anti seize)
May have been flowing as freely as it did because it was hot, I never tried taking a sample in a pan and cooking it to see if it thins out with the heat 😆
On the semi with broken u-joints, most likely had both axels and the axel differential lock engaged on pavement and it bound up in a turn and the driver powered through it and snapped them.
The question on that semi U-joint thing the guy even have a driver's license drive a submarine
I was thinking towed without disconnecting anything
No drove one that had locking rear ends. That's shock damage. The driver was trying to either slide the 5th wheel or the trailer tandems and when they dumped the clutch the driveline gave out. It happened to a few drivers I knew. It happened to a truck I drove. Freaking shop foreman thought he could dump the clutch on a hot rodded Cummins engine that had twice the factory horses. She literally twisted the front driveline from the transmission to the front differential including the carrier bearing into a freaking pretzel.
@@haroldbenton979 you got it right! Worked as abus mechanic for several years fora school bus company. Saw this 4 times in 2 years as we changed over to diesel. They were used to rev up and dump clutch when starting ona hill
I have seen this once when a driver missed a Gear trying to go up a steep ramp out of a gravel pit loaded, Popping the clutch whilst moving backwards In that case three of the u-joint crosses broke dropping the entire driveline down onto the two steerable tag axles.
this honestly tells you how many people should be taking public transport.
1:48 guessing he was running really rich and the muffler filled with gas.
Does the customer get to keep the impact? That's like a 300$ impact and a 150$ window. It's like your getting that impact half off.
Assuming the impact works that is
You are definitely a "cup half full" person! I wish that i could look at things in a positive light like that! Thank you for giving us negative types another way to look at things😉
Exactly what I thought. The shop doesn’t get to keep it!
If it gets embedded in my car, it's mine.
Don't forget the 29.95 for shampooing the poo out of the seat. At least, that's what would have happened if it was my car.
This is like Space Balls for Cars!
May the Schwartz be with you! :-D
The snap on impact - “I over paid for this hunk of junk...” yeets it out the window
It doesn't matter how crappy my day is, your vids always brighten it..thanks
The stop sign just does it for me 🤣🤣
9:36 you call it a broken upper control arm, i call it a lifestyle
😂🤣😂the guy bringing in his handiwork for a safety inspection
2:25 of course the car sales employee would never joyride right.....🤣
It amazes me how little empathy people have for their vehicles! The EPA should list the VW with mold a toxic clean up site!
i keep thining.. what did that poor vehicle do to deserve this from you?!
It was clearly in a flood
@@peterf.229 I think the customer used an all-natural leather treatment that mold spores loved. It happened to me when I used some of that on a leather jacket and a pair of boots. They looked just like that when I opened the closet. No wonder my asthma came back.
3:38 that's not a bad motor mount, that's the very rare and highly sought after type-Xorcist package that makes an extra 40 horses.... But makes your engine possessed
I like that pull through string, genius.
Im not a great welder, but when i see peoples' "custom" exhausts i feel like i could make a living welding.
2:26 Hands up who knows what the salesman was doing on the way to the gas station. :-)))
At least he didn't gas up then wreck it haha
Oh Oh ... I know ... was testing to see if it had automatic braking ???
Showboating
Buddy got an impact worth more than the part that was broken 😂
At 7:15 I estimate that it just needs a good clean if it drive to the shop
An outstanding collection sir!
Bro I feel for the person with the mattress. I ran over a semi tire about. 3 weeks ago. Cracked my bumper, tore it my fender liner, pushed the fender up and one of the fasteners is sitting on top of the door so I can't open it, can't open the hood, and it just absolutely demolished my rocker panel. It tore the bumper off the car behind me too.
Only at 3:08 and my heart is still sinking for the sales dude destroying a 90grand car delivering it, if ever there was a "OMG I'm fck'd!!" moment, hm, that was it! 11/10 in any category of fail imho.
The tears that salesman must have shed over the lost revenue, because you KNOW he/she had to pay for that themselves. LOLOLOL
@@alexwalker2582 Dealership Insurance would pay for it and they would take the deductible out of his severance check.
@@alexwalker2582 Maybe, "A giant dear ran out in front of meeee!" My first thought was that he was all 'Wheeeee! Big sale! Huge commission! I Blond... James Blond, agent OO-FK."
@@garyh.7282 Meanwhile, next year's insurance premium goes up about $7,500 a month. Yikes!
F him, treat other peoples property with respect.
Worked at a gas station when I was a kid. Two old ladies yakking a mile a minute brought a car in one night knocking like crazy. I put in three quarts of oil, and it was still shy a half quart on the stick. I asked how long it had been making that noise. The answer translated as about ten or twelve miles. She also said that the 'Low Oil' light had been on for about half of that time.
Oh, the reason that she stopped? She needed gas.
Love these videos. I am alternately laughing hard, or recoiling in horror.
Don't know about you but that impact wrench definitely made an impact for the folks in the car.
I'll see myself out
Edit: thanks for the 100 likes!
I'll close the door behind you! :P
😂
@PGRaiders you said it, but I'm sure a lot of us were thinking it lol
Here I was thinking "ooh a free impact wrench"
It was a snap descision…yeah, right behind you.
9:08 So we just gonna ignore the fact a bmw came in for horn issues???
🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:53 brings the meaning to “all gas no brakes”
