Hope you guys are having a great weekend! I've been thinking about making some t-shirts and hoodies to give away and sell. Just looking into it, I'll keep you guys updated.
Yup and here I am. Half a dozen cars in and I’m only 19... not saying I drive perfect or anything but damn I can’t get a break with my car and then there’s people that’ll daily some of these car for years.
I can’t imagine how someone can just never look at problems with their cars until it’s simply ready for the junkyard. Some of these folks never get a brake job.
Back in the early '80's a friend thought he was going to "flush the anti-freeze". instead of putting the flush connection on the heater hose he put it on the air pump hose that connected into the exhaust manifold. he was putting water in the exhaust and it was pouring out the tail pipe.
When I was a kid, me and some friends were "working on" (making problems worse) on one of our cars in a back yard. Somehow we hooked a fuel line into the vacuum system. Good times were had by all when the key was turned.
A company I worked for bought a box truck and asked if I could look at the brakes. The rear disks were separated from the hubs, one front had no pads and the other front was worn through to the vents! Sorry no photos. I did drive it to the repair place like that though, thanks to it having a manual trans.
I used to work at a school bus company, come in at about 10:00 in the morning and leave around 7:00 in the evening. Part of the job is to do defects after their morning run, it's like fixing lights or seats or heaters something really quick before their afternoon run. Sometimes I would get a defect that says my brakes are bad look at my brakes, but when I look for bus or van type of bus it's nowhere to be found. And by the time we get to it, it's too late just to R & R the pads or shoes, we end up doing the whole ball of wax on it. That what happens when you get drivers that have a I. Q. less than a pencil.
I remember seeing trucks and cars..like small passenger cars loaded up this way in Eastern Europe...and sometimes hauling TONS of potatoes or a pig in the back seat but this one....yeah, thats the most Ive seen on an F150... I like how when he brakes, the truck is literally seesawing off the front end, like its close to tiping on its butt LOL. Great video! I was just downloading a logo to show in my edit, when Im mentioning your channel (while getting a mouthful of rust and dirty prepping an area for pain LOL....as a side node, the new POR15 Top coat with color, is REALLY great. I love how it came out).
@@JustRolledIn Ill check it out once Im done editing. I was supposed to edit yesterday but it was nice sunny weather so I figure, get this welding and paint job done...and I think it came out ok. Ill log on FB later on...since I have to anyways. I wanted to ask you something...its related to this master plan this other youtuber and I are hatching lol.
In my country you need to have a technical check every 2 years. They dont check the fluids but the corrosion of the chassis, brakes, light, exhaust gases, tires.
Worked here in the UK many years ago who took his works van for repair as the brakes were faulty and the radio didn't work ,as he was in a hurry he told the repairer just fix the radio I can manage without the brakes what was he thinking, I sometimes wonder where people get their brains from let alone a driving licence. Anyway stay safe ,best regards to all from a retired mechanic, (well sort of I worked for 50 years on forklifts).
Either the heads or the block on the car pouring anti-freeze out the tailpipe. A side note my worked at a Ford transmission plant. Uncle’s wife car had broke down on her close to my home. He had it towed to my house. Uncle and a Ford dealer mechanic came down. The mechanic did a carbon clean using a garden hose. Floored the gas petal and turned garden hose on full force with hose stuck down the throttle body until car died out. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Cranked it over (took a couple of minutes cranking). The white smoke it billowed out for 30 minutes. Car ran perfect. No mosquitoes that summer.
People driving their vehicles with no rotors for miles and miles: Get from point A to point B no problem! Me driving my car and I'm 5 miles over on my oil change interval: Blown engine
Had a customer come into take 5 from a Walmart because she said she got her oil changed there and it was making a noise. This noise was knocking and when I pulled the plug this gdi motor ran 43 miles without a drop of oil in it.
Vehicle customer drove in automatic with front disc half the thickness of a DVD. But also the brake piston had popped out .......and the rear wheel cylinders had leaked and lost all the fluid so no brakes.

oh you know, they just filled all the furniture on the truck with helium balloons so the truck wouldn't collapse under all the weight. that's how physics works right? big smart.
0:08 :Mechanic. I got your good news annnnd i got your bad news! :Customer Oh?! :Mechanic Ya, the exhaust is in GREAT condition! Otherwise.. it wouldnt flow all that water from the blown head gasket in your motor! :Customer DOHHHH!
I've seen this brakes rotor separate like before the auto sales company was known for fixing auto by the cheapest way possible put in oversized pads brakes work great until the rotor wears out if an accident happens they deny they did it shoes adjusted out to the limit work great until the piston blows out and you loose your fluid and brakes try stopping at a red light with 6 lanes of rush hour traffic getting a green light and you have instant terror as your brake pedal goes from hard with good stopping to the floor and no brakes when you have almost. no money and that happens you learn how to replace them but they didn't lie the brakes were done the pads were almost new but the drums were worn out and even auto repair shops do some dangerous stuff like not tightening the the hose that connects to the front brake piston or on the new brake system on the gm trucks adjusting one bolt too much and the other not enough if left long enough and adjusted too many times it will cut 2 grooves one on either side of the drums breaking surface since we couldn't afford another 2400$I learned how to do the rear brakes on a 5 ton gm
That much coolant out the exhaust is more likely a crack in the head on the exhaust side. If it was going into the cylinders it would hydro-lock and break the engine. Honestly it's better it be the head than a cylinder crack. You can replace a head, you can't replace the block unless you are going to put in a new engine. Used engines have their own unknowns and doing used engine swaps is a gamble and usually doesn't have a warranty for very long.
Well i didnt take a pic in the heat of the moment literally. I flagged a semi trk cause he lost drivers front hub bearings and was on fire. I thought he just smoked his brakes cause i saw smoke till i saw the flames through the rim holes
The washer fluid coming out of the tail pipe is probably just a bad washer motor. I’d start there. I am a certified ASE mechanic trained on Gogle and youtubes
I had the hub of a brake rotor shear from the braking surface on the way home from passing inspection. The disk thickness was within spec. But the hub section was corroded (they don't take yor wheels off in UK inspections) . Had to cut the hub off with a grinder it was so corroded in place.
Or it could be a cracked head doing the same thing. From the amount of water I'd guess the head, as the crack could be much bigger than a head gasket, but we can't tell that much from what we saw.
Well just came back from a shit car show at Mohegan sun, saw a few cars ice worked on but most I don't know how they are considered a show car. Should have brought my rx7.
There is nothing wrong with the car in the first video, it just has a water cooled exhaust system, that's all. The second one is also fine, it just has a full floating shock absorber. And finally, why on earth would you send in a picture of a Jeep?????
My cousin had a 1990 Corsica (his first car) with 4 bald tires and one functioning rear brake. When he finally got around to getting it fixed he was like "This is awesome! It even stops in the rain"! He was just used to pulling onto the side of the road to slow down.
As a European (Sweden), I simply am astounded sometimes when I watch mechanics channels placed in America, and get see the complete state of disrepair that some of the vehicles are in. Vehicles that are still are allowed to legally drive on public roads! I would get banned from driving my car until I had repaired it if it was deemed unsafe at my annual safety test. And by unsafe I mean that there's a little excessive play in a joint in the steering or suspension, a bad crack in the windshield, bad brakes, to much corrosion on critical components or any bad collision damage. Or if the emissions test showed excessive levels...
Lots of states in the US have inspection laws similar to what you describe. I live in Pennsylvania and we have yearly safety and emissions inspections. You need to have all lights working, no play in joints suspension/steering joints, no holes in the body, no windshield cracks, good brakes, etc. Ohio, on the other hand, has no yearly inspection. I've seen lots of cars with Ohio plates that are a danger to everyone on the road.
It’s very dependent on the state one lives in. Some like california have stringent vehicle inspection laws, whereas states like alaska have no road inspection. Any shitbox that runs can be registered.
@@jackpolack3315 Yes I know there are differences between states. But a car from Alaska can be legally driven on a Californian (or any other state) highway. So if you get rear ended by a truck in LA because it had no brakes, and you then find out that the shitbox that hit you is registered in Alaska, that don't change the fact that you just were involved in an accident, it just means you were extra unlucky as a Californian to come across that particular truck... Then we have states like New York where there is rampant corruption among the shops that do the inspections, and they rubber stamp shitboxes as "roadworthy" for a price all the time...
The alternative is higher vehicle prices that the poor cannot afford, or someone down on their luck going without a vehicle because of a crack in the windshield, rusty strut tower etc. I understand the desire for safety, but the alternative is so much worse in my opinion.
@@johnjr757 lol. your state should see the just rolled in videos. A close by neighboring state doesn't require inspections but any cop is allowed to identify unsafe cars and take them off the road and order their owners to fix them before driving them again.
I live in Alabama . There are no inspections . If you can start it you can drive it and as long as you don't pass a trooper who can see an issue you're ok .
@@johnjr757 5 years for new cars sounds reasonable. Here it's only 2 for new and every year after that. And I've failed bec there was a notch in my wiper blade. Crazy what's allowed on the road in other states
First video is a head gasket break but not into the cylinders so the coolant is escaping past the valves into the exhaust pipe. That or the blocks clacked by the valves doing the same thing
Some vehicles are built to last, like my mother's ford aerostar, we are the third owners & got it at 80K, #2 was using it to haul stone countertops around as a delivery van, we are currently at 210K and only had to replace the rear axle (differential wore out) as far as "major components" go
just saying we have aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalot more cars, we about 21 cars all of them are old escorts, sierras, fiestas, mk2 esorts, and sapphires, also a E350 Extended frame
@@JeffDeWitt Yellow Pontiac GTO at 2:45 is a rebadged Holden Monaro. The next one is a Ford XC Falcon from the late 70's. The last one looks like a HSV Holden but I'm not sure if it is also rebadged, some went to the UK as well as the US.
Some states do carry it too far . I lived in Virginia and we were restoring a 56 ford p/u . All the major work was done and we were finalizing the last few details . We needed a drivers side wiper arm which no one had so we tried our local junk yard 10 miles away . While going there we drove through a road check . The state trooper noticed the wiper arm missing , we explained we were on our way to pick one up . He said not in this truck , he then made us park it , removed the plates and made us walk home .
@@eaglerider1826 thats indeed bs but over here in europe ppl are not allowed to drive cars that r falling to pieces...besides countries like congo,only americans lack the common sense to only allow vehicles on the road that wont fall apart upon hitting a speedbump...i agree that wiper arm thing is pure bs as it does nothing to ur car integrity but i do agree that all ppl on the road should be driving on good tires,with a good suspension,working lights and with fresh brakes every year if necessary...it would lower accidents in america with 70 percent if they did
@@Jeremy-ff7gv This is where big government just wants to take your money . Title fees , registration fees , drivers license fees . yearly taxes on vehicle . As long as you give them your money you can drive anything until you get caught then they collect the fines .
@@PoopLoop202 I would rather pay a fee than rely on people to do safety repairs off their own will. Does not happen compulsion is necessary for safety.
As many of your videos as i've watched now there's two things I can be sure i'll see in every one. Brakes worn down to the cooling fins or worn so badly they seperate from the rotor hat, and a rusted through chassis or subframe.
I change my own oil and rotate the tire at the same time. It is a pain in the @ss to rotate the tires myself but I inspect everything while I'm doing it. This forces me to catch any problem real early. It scares me to think I could be driving on the road with people and their vehicles featured in these videos.
Hope you guys are having a great weekend!
I've been thinking about making some t-shirts and hoodies to give away and sell. Just looking into it, I'll keep you guys updated.
I’m down!!!!
1:45 - it's not acne, it's the whole smallpox.
well ive got some stuff ive seen in the land of Minnesota that makes this look tame...
I had one customer that was more concerned with a loose piece of plastic rather than The three tires worn down to the canvas
These videos amaze me with how much people get away with without an accident or breakdown.
No mandatory inspections or inspections done by yahoos who shouldn't be working on vehicles are why this is such a bad thing in the US.
The old shit happens. This is the new version shit doesn't happen. Thank goodness. What a mess.
And they are probably riding next to you at 70 mph on the interstate. Beware

Apparantly it was in Mexico City if I remember correctly.
Yes, and I have even seen bicycles loaded similar to that!
*(**2:16**)* - _Basically if "Howl's Moving Castle" was a truck._
In my younger years , I saw a brake rotor so thin you could slice meat with it. Yes the person complained about a noise in the ft end.
I'm sure they were right. :)
2:20 My boi has never needed 2 trips to bring in the groceries.
Good to see a few Aussie cars among the viewers pics. We did make some good ones but sadly no longer. 👍😎
Lots of Australian subscribers it seems like. That's awesome!
I really like the old Holdens and Aus Ford falcons
Was that a Holden?
@@JeffDeWitt Yellow Pontiac GTO at 2:45 is a rebadged Holden Monaro. The next one is a Ford XC Falcon from the late 70's. The last one looks like a HSV Holden but I'm not sure if it is also rebadged, some went to the UK as well as the US.
There wasn't anything wrong with that transfer case, some bubble gum and bailing wire could fix it lol.
Hold my beer as I get the JB weld.😎
Wow sheer amazement on shocking condition of these vehicles, here in the uk they’d fail the compulsory annual safety check (mot)
most states do not require inspection of any kind. In these states, the mentality is usually, "Run it till it dies"
If it starts, steers, stops and has working lights, it's safe enough.
Great work.Thanks for posting my pic!!!!!
Thanks for sending it in!
That fingernail tho 🤢🤮🤣
This is what happens when your state does away with annual safety inspections.
Some states do carry it too far . I lived in Virginia and we were restoring a 56 ford p/u . All the major work was done and we were finalizing the last few details . We needed a drivers side wiper arm which no one had so we tried our local junk yard 10 miles away . While going there we drove through a road check . The state trooper noticed the wiper arm missing , we explained we were on our way to pick one up . He said not in this truck , he then made us park it , removed the plates and made us walk home .
@@eaglerider1826 thats indeed bs but over here in europe ppl are not allowed to drive cars that r falling to pieces...besides countries like congo,only americans lack the common sense to only allow vehicles on the road that wont fall apart upon hitting a speedbump...i agree that wiper arm thing is pure bs as it does nothing to ur car integrity but i do agree that all ppl on the road should be driving on good tires,with a good suspension,working lights and with fresh brakes every year if necessary...it would lower accidents in america with 70 percent if they did
@@Jeremy-ff7gv This is where big government just wants to take your money . Title fees , registration fees , drivers license fees . yearly taxes on vehicle . As long as you give them your money you can drive anything until you get caught then they collect the fines .
I'm glad I live in Pennsylvania, which has a pretty good state inspection standard.
It's annual and probably prevents a lot of these issues.
Oooh, another yearly fee to keep my car on the road, no thanks.
@@PoopLoop202 In Virginia there is a 6 month inspection and you must buy a yearly county sticker also . But the roads are nice .
@@PoopLoop202 I know, living in a state that requires inspections is annoying. Especially for people who can’t afford brand new cars.
@@PoopLoop202 I would rather pay a fee than rely on people to do safety repairs off their own will. Does not happen compulsion is necessary for safety.
*loud laughter from the rural PA counties*
Thanks for posting my cherokee man it means a lot
Thanks for sharing!
As many of your videos as i've watched now there's two things I can be sure i'll see in every one. Brakes worn down to the cooling fins or worn so badly they seperate from the rotor hat, and a rusted through chassis or subframe.
HOw the hell could that engine still run with that mucha water coming from the exhaust? It's somehow impressive
My guess is that is one cylinder out of however many there are... Think of it as being reassigned as a pump to flush out the coolant now.
2:20 when you flick the straps and say, “yep, that’s not going anywhere.”
Those shocks are begging for mercy.
Just put a snorkel on my Mk4 jetta, never been more proud of myself
I change my own oil and rotate the tire at the same time. It is a pain in the @ss to rotate the tires myself but I inspect everything while I'm doing it. This forces me to catch any problem real early. It scares me to think I could be driving on the road with people and their vehicles featured in these videos.
the rust bucket with only some light play in the shock their is more rust than metal on that car
Crack in the head allowing coolant to leak into exhaust manifold. Good times
