My brother lived in Texas for several years. It isn't unusual for cars to get dents from large hail in the fall and winter. He said nobody gets them fixed. In the summer when it gets to 105° and higher with the sun beating down, a lot of the dents pop out on their own.
It got to 110 last summer in Houston and I still have a dent on my Toyota solara that I'm going to try to remove today, I don't think all cars body is the same it looks to me older vehicle have more solid body structure
I live in texas and my parents had a greyish silver 2001 grand prix and the gear shift lever plastic started melting and looked like a smear, and the dash board had melted crayons in it because of my brother 12 years ago

@@PneumaticFrog but it's better than getting around with a massive dent I reckon. Some bog, sandpaper, paint and a few hours will bring it up heaps better.
When it comes to DIY videos I usually am Very skeptical about them working. It always seems like there is more interest in views then posting a video that actually works but man I got to say that after watching your video and trying this hack it actually worked.. you are the Man.. Thank You for not wasting anyone's time with a nonsense video.
Hey thanks for the kind words man. I never even for a second thought this video would do what it did. I heard the tip from my auto body guy, decided to try it one weekend and record it with my phone to share with friends and family, in case it did. I only threw it up here on TH-cam as a storage space, to relieve storage from my phone. That’s all I used TH-cam for then, to archive videos I didn’t want on my phone anymore. And then a few months later, boom, it takes off and people act as if I made a scientific breakthrough, but I’ll take it and I have! Thanks again. Take care.
@@AdamWasHere - "And then a few months later, boom, it takes off and people act as if I made a scientific breakthrough" --> that is awesome part bro, I will try on this weekend !
Regarding that last little dimple that wanted to go back in when he released pressure off of it: while the plastic is still hot and flexible hold the dented plastic in the position you want and have a helper put cool water on it then it will stay in place
You can also use a large smooth garden pebble or a golf ball to pop it out from behind the shell while a helper pours cool water over the affected area to set it. Works like a charm and saves you a few grand!
Changing temperature quickly will make almost any material crack. (That's why they specifically tell you NOT to do so for pots, pans, glass, ect). Cool water after boiling is a huge no.
Just did this trick, worked perfectly. My dent was in the same spot as the one in the video. I did the same thing and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much
Simple would have never guessed! What else in life are we deluding ourselves about the complexity of! Here's one for ya there is no law that says one must pay income tax! In any common law domain! That's right folks! UK US CAN AUS Etc Google it! Gobsmacked? Not as much as I was until I found out acts and statutes are not law! Boiling water won't work for everything though shame really; )
Thank you my friend, (6 years old post). Had a dent on top of wheel arch kindly done in car park by unknown truck who drove off. This worked first time. Thanks again. MB in the UK.
Just a reminder for new viewers. This will not work for ALL dents on ALL cars. It all depends on the placement of the dent and if you can get get to it from behind and push it out. As for the plunger trick, in my case, the dent was in a spot that the plunger could precisely fit and suction to, then pull out. Also has to do with the fact that the part of the vehicle damaged was sheet metal. You would never be able to suction out a huge dent in a bumper or tiny hail sized dents on the roof or hood with a plunger. A lot of the success from this trick comes from using logic.
Linh Pham This is THE question asked the most and my answer is, no it did not affect the paint on THIS car. I cannot speak for ANY other car out there. This is solely an “at your own risk” type of tip.
some lady had hit my car on the side because she ran a stop sign, her insurance didn't do shit to help, this video definitely helped a lot, I actually fixed the dent on the car 👍🏻
Worked perfect for me. Boiled the kettle, poured it over the dent, plunger 3 or 4 times and the dent was gone. Didn’t even have to push from behind. Thanks again 👌🏴
If I had a dollar for every time someone mentions a hair dryer or heat gun. Not everyone has that. This is what makes this video a hack! Everyone’s got water to boil.
I had a bumper dent in the same spot on my Chevy Impala poured the boiling water on it got up under it popped it right out! THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! Short and straight to the point 😎
For anyone wondering, this is a real life application of Charles' law. At constant pressure, when temperature increases, the volume of gas also increases. In other words, it describes how gases expand when heated. (Chemistry class comes in handy for these sort of things.)
shops hate when ppl put repair videos because it causes them to lose business but i love ppl who do because not everyone has money to waste shops love to rip u off!!!
Hell body work is easy anyways unless your pulling frames or fixing things like wrinkled quarter panels that have to be replaced. Most of the time in small fender benders you can do they work yourself. We basically taught ourselves how to paint to somebody gave us like 40 gallons of paint and we used a old junk car to perfect our technique. We had runs and orange peal on the first few sprays but we would just DA it and spray it again eventually we got results that where awesome. Then we moved on to fading so we could learn to match paint. I honestly believe we learned quicker with the free paint then if we had paid $1000’s to go to school for it. My old man had worked at GM painting new cars so he gave us a good base knowledge to start with.
TH-cam is disappointing Hahahaha, so what do you drive then? Please take the time to explain why you have come to the conclusion that the Japanese make shit cars, I'd love to hear your logic.
I watched this same video today and used step by step for my car and it really worked. I was charged $1,000 at the body shop for the dent. I am glad that I didn’t fall for it. Thanks for the video.
My neighbor backed into my car (09 vibe). Body shop quoted me 3700 bucks to fix a dent in the quarter panel and bumper. Ima def try this with some suction cups and a heat gun
@@Matrix_Uncovered worked a bit. The damage wasnt on the plastic bumper guard like the vid, but the all metal quarter panel. Heat def helped, but took me 8 hours to get it to be semi decent
This works. I pulled out the entire bumper, was standing on the dent and trying my best to push it into position but it would not work. Using boiling water pooled on the inside of the bumper, the bumper started to move firmly and easily. No damage to the pain otherwise. Its incredible.
You can do the same thing with a hair dryer or a heat gun. A propane torch will work on the sheet metal. Just have to be careful with the heat gun so that you don't end up burning the bumper.
This is just superb, I have been researching "stop biting your nails polish" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Pensabella Xeyli Plan - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got excellent results with it.
I wanted to provide a detailed explanation on how this works. The video shows the hack working on THIS particular vehicle, a 2005 Toyota Camry, I can't speak for every other single make and model vehicle out there. The area where the first dent was pulled out using a plunger is sheet metal and of course the back bumper I push out is plastic. If your vehicle is made of sheet metal and/or plastic, this could work but it also depends on the size and placement of your dent(s). Moral of the video: HEAT makes sheet metal and plastic more malleable to help get dents out along with applying some type of pressure; either by pulling or pushing them out. You can use whatever source of heat you feel comfortable with; heat gun, heat lamp, blow dryer, flame thrower, gasoline and a match, I don't care. What makes this a HACK is that most households have access to tap water, a pot and a stove to boil it. Cost of repair, maybe 10 minutes of my time opposed to what a body shop would rip you off for.
Never thought of using hot water. I’ve always used a heat gun or hair dryer. Seems you get better and a more even coverage with water. Not to mention when I’ve used the plunger I always had to oil the perimeter for suction and the water does this naturally. Nicely done.
My daughter did the same damage to my car's bumper. She came home and explained the situation, and when I went to look, there was no damage. The dent in the plastic had simply popped out due to the drive home over potholes .
Worked like a charm. Thank you for the no nonsense presentation and for saving me untold hundreds of bucks! This has to be the most useful video ever on YT!👍👍👍👍
going to try it on my daughters' ford focus those other idiots are just jealous making stupid remarks you can clearly see that it works she has a 2007 not ready to throw money away to give a dent
I'm here because my lil bro just knocked the corner wall of the gate with company car and we trying to fix the dent and this worked like a charm. Thank you 😊
guy at the smash and repair shop : "wow. Car is badly damaged. We need to replace the bumper, a few hours of work on the side. This will cost $800 at the very least" TeamFamily : "I need hot water and 2'14 of time"
IamAnoobiecheez I know, I once drove around with a dent in a door panel for 6 months thinking I might get it sorted when I had the money until a friend suggested using a sink plunger. I did and it was fixed in a second. I was so happy.
Chrono Cubing No, kid. YOU are overly sensitive and YOU got mad over nothing. “Stfu holy shit!” lol dramatic ass. All I did was state my truth. Deal with it.
carolinaAzz555 I wasn’t mad dumbass 😂😂 and your not stating the truth your just being too sensitive about a guy saying he does good things for his wife
You can do the same thing using hair dryers or a space heater. You just have to be careful not to get the heading device to close to the plastic bumper as it could bubble the finish.
What really helped me, since hitting it wasn't working, was I wedged my hammer into the right place and just used the lever action of it to push my dent back out. So helpful, thank you mucho!
Wow!! I think this will work on our car, the placement of the dent seems to be perfect! We had a guy back out and hit us in a Lowes parking lot about 6 months ago. We tried to go through his insurance but the vehicle he was driving, was NOT covered on the insurance info he gave us! What could we do...sue him in small claims court? He didn't have a lot of money as we don't either so thought this was just a lost cause. GREAT video, going to give this a go!! Thanks...Hugs from Texas!! xx
I haven't got that kind of plunger yet plus everyone caught a chest cold... just didn't get to it yet. Ugh! I will let ya know with an update. Fingers crossed it will work...I'm very optimistic!! Hugs from Texas : )
@@GoBuckeyes554 in my ford focus the dent was rear bottom corner it was easy to reach under the bumper and push. You I imagine theres a cover where your hand cant reach to get the dent out my advice get help from someone to remove the bumper safely so they know how to put back unless you know how in screw the side cover I never did this so cant help you much sorry
This really does work. It doesn't come out perfect, but sometimes a bumper sticker covers it all up and it looks new again. Make sure you use a non offensive, non political, or non religious one so some jerk doesn't key your car.
@GirlyGirl Hippy it isn't. The car is broken, they pay, and you do whatever you want with the car from that very moment. They pay because you pay them and you have an agreement. If the car wasn't broken, it would be fraud to claim money for it.
My brother bought a nissan altima for $500 because the entire roof was caved in... I LITERALLY SAID WATCH THIS,.... I put my arm in the car and used the palm of my hand to smack upwards on the ceiling of the car about midsection where the domelight is... INSTANTLY it looked like a brand new car.... all it took was one solid whack.
A while back I seen this stuff that looked like metal and they bent it and poured something on it looked like water and it went back to normal it was crazy
I mean he's really not an idiot... What a camera and this video doesn't show is how shit your dent is still gonna look. I've been a paint tech in autobody for a decade and basically.. Anyone that knows how a paint job/body job is supposed to look laughs at anyone that thinks backyard bodywork looks good. If you want it done right, you pay a professional... Or.. Don't try and act like hot water even compares. Respect the trade. Idiot.
Peugeot 406 I kinda feel like I already clarified my experience. Sure though, I shouldn't talk shit.. Wouldn't wanna go around making a fool of myself by calling ppl idiot for no reason. That'd be embarrassing. Idk what I was thinking, how could someone in autobody even compare to a mechanic when it comes to body work.
Robert Johnson yeah you said you are a paint technician not an auto body specialist. Stay in your paint booth and quit acting like you know something special. Your job is to spray what your told, you just hear the gossip from the body specialists lol
Man I can't believe people's posts on this, just unreal. Guys, the first part of the car or the first dent is on metal, the bumper or second dent is plastic, hot water makes both of them easier to deal with when trying to remove the dent. What the hell is wrong with some of you?
TeamFamily Yeah, the Beatles are pretty great. My Dad and Brother are way more into them, I kind of picked up through them but I've always liked their music, and their songs are challenging and fun to play. Good little riffs to keep around.

This is just superb, I have been researching "stop biting your nails polish" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Pensabella Xeyli Plan - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got excellent results with it.
Give me 2 million I will do Tha car plumbing job for you 😊😊
@Sal m gf
I wanted to provide a detailed explanation on how this works. The video shows the hack working on THIS particular vehicle, a 2005 Toyota Camry, I can't speak for every other single make and model vehicle out there. The area where the first dent was pulled out using a plunger is sheet metal and of course the back bumper I push out is plastic. If your vehicle is made of sheet metal and/or plastic, this could work but it also depends on the size and placement of your dent(s).
Moral of the video: HEAT makes sheet metal and plastic more malleable to help get dents out along with applying some type of pressure; either by pulling or pushing them out. You can use whatever source of heat you feel comfortable with; heat gun, heat lamp, blow dryer, flame thrower, gasoline and a match, I don't care.
What makes this a HACK is that most households have access to tap water, a pot and a stove to boil it. Cost of repair, maybe 10 minutes of my time opposed to what a body shop would rip you off for.
Joey Diaz What tub?
Joey Diaz It's plastic and I believe one piece.
well said.
TeamFamily Wtf a flame thrower? Gasoline and a match! The car is going to blow the fuck up! 😂
Matt Abcdef wrong!! Body shops are a rip off!! Its a dirty business!
Those last 2 small dents would drive me crazy, i wouldnt be able to sleep until those were gone, grrrrrrr!
Tall Topp bondo is your friend
@wutup5566 Nah, you can't really get out small dimples / dents. It would probably be easier to get a replacement bumper from a junkyard.
Never thought of using hot water. I’ve always used a heat gun or hair dryer. Seems you get better and a more even coverage with water. Not to mention when I’ve used the plunger I always had to oil the perimeter for suction and the water does this naturally. Nicely done.
Every car should come standard with a pot and a plunger......water comes separately.
JPLMONEY23 haha
What a gip!
My daughter did the same damage to my car's bumper.
She came home and explained the situation, and when I went to look, there was no damage.
The dent in the plastic had simply popped out due to the drive home over potholes .
Worked like a charm. Thank you for the no nonsense presentation and for saving me untold hundreds of bucks!
This has to be the most useful video ever on YT!👍👍👍👍
i tried it but its so hard for me, the dent is too strong for me to push
going to try it on my daughters' ford focus those other idiots are just jealous making stupid remarks you can clearly see that it works she has a 2007 not ready to throw money away to give a dent
For some reasons, I just can't hit the like button, this video deserves many, many likes.
Does it ruin the strength of the bumper making it seems weaker in the heated part?
@@JoseHernandez-wf3kz I don't think so. I'm not qualified to say yes or no but I've not noticed any issue like the. 👍
I'm here because my lil bro just knocked the corner wall of the gate with company car and we trying to fix the dent and this worked like a charm. Thank you 😊
Wow! I just saved $1,000+ and a trip to the auto shop.Thx to whoever posted this!!😁❤

Holy shit went to look up a Skyrim video and got side tracked and saw this video then suddenly your comment put me back on the right track
guy at the smash and repair shop : "wow. Car is badly damaged. We need to replace the bumper, a few hours of work on the side. This will cost $800 at the very least"
TeamFamily : "I need hot water and 2'14 of time"
they wanted to charge me 2k to repair a small dent on my bumper and trunk. fixed the bumper but trunk is a bitch
They charged my father $800 for this bullshit.
Lol they are trying to charge me $1500 for a dent
Behind the plastic is a metal bar. That is designed to deform in impact
@@montefurze3811 what does that mean for the repair?
Insurance: Thatd be 2k..
Me: keeping the 2k and fixing it like this.
Lol
It feels sooo good to count up all the unspent money you have
Making Toilet Plungers Great Again. 🇺🇸
AC/DC.4.LIFE ! Except you should use a new one (or at least one that's never been used in a toilet)
Im gonna buy an MTPGA hat now.
Now, the plunger is probably made in America..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is made in 🇨🇳
Wow plunger... that's a fascinating idea. I'll add that to my list for dent auto restoration business. Tank u
IamAnoobiecheez I know, I once drove around with a dent in a door panel for 6 months thinking I might get it sorted when I had the money until a friend suggested using a sink plunger. I did and it was fixed in a second. I was so happy.
Rick wallace That'z good... glad it worked out for you well
IamAnoobiecheez one girl used the suction side of a dildo
IamAnoobiecheez 8
IamAnoobiecheez Hmm now I don't need to spend hundreds dollars on that I can do it by myself
I tried this on my marriage... The dent is still there.....time to get a new one
For marriages you need to pour cold water...not hot.
God himself haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
God himself
You just have to properly apply the plunger!
Not all heroes wear capes
Nick Walter pour hot water if they are cheating, that'll fix the dent
This deserves 100+million likes. This is certainly the best life hack ever.
This is a life hack.
tried it today it really works...
Of course it does..Glad it helped you!
aramirez83
NO IT DOESN'T. AT ALL. NOT ON A 2014 CAR, MAYBE ON AN OLD PIECE OF SHIT CAMRY LIKE THIS.... :[
CaptainCringe heat actually softens metal so it works on metal panels too.
I just tried it and it's not working for me
Good idea, I'm going to try that for the dent in my head.
The things we do for our wives..
Chrono Cubing It was strongly implied. And obvious to anyone with at least half a brain.
carolinaAzz555 Or you’re just too sensitive and got mad over nothing.
Chrono Cubing No, kid. YOU are overly sensitive and YOU got mad over nothing. “Stfu holy shit!” lol dramatic ass. All I did was state my truth. Deal with it.
carolinaAzz555 I wasn’t mad dumbass 😂😂 and your not stating the truth your just being too sensitive about a guy saying he does good things for his wife
As I sit here watching this video hoping to accomplish this for my husband, I just want you to know I did not find your sexist remark funny.
Heat gun or hair dryer works good too. Allows you to have a bit more control
I wonder if he dented his car on purpose just to make this video
J'onn J'onzz I was wondering too hahahah
Lmao i was thinking that too
Probably not his car
Looka like convenient dent made on purpose. We can be wrong though.
J'onn J'onzz I think he did that because there are no scratches
Tried using boiling hot water to fix my life...
Tip... Didn't work and is more painful than before...
Underrated comment
try a different plunger? idk
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Gotta use a pan like he did come on did you even watch the video!?
@@rebelwolf772 that's a joke right?
Does this work on humans?
If you replace boiling water with mayonnaise
yes
@@xastl32 you tried it? :D
drew waters do you mean the condiment or the instrument?
Every time, but it could mar the finish, LoL.
Dude unknowingly invented Paintless Dent Removal, which is now btw costs more than to replace the panel.
You can do the same thing using hair dryers or a space heater. You just have to be careful not to get the heading device to close to the plastic bumper as it could bubble the finish.
Sounds like it'll work, gotta fix the dent by my gas tank
@@mikkey246 did it work
A life hack that looks promising. Nice 👌
Until the wind lightly blows on it and it dents it back in because of how weak that spot is now,
Nobody:
TH-cam: you need to fix your car dents
I have a car dent thank the TH-cam gods for this video
King Kendrick Goat me too lol
No yapping just getting down to how you repaired dent , I like that ! 👌
What really helped me, since hitting it wasn't working, was I wedged my hammer into the right place and just used the lever action of it to push my dent back out.
So helpful, thank you mucho!
This is definitely one thing car body repair shops don't want you to know.
Wow!! I think this will work on our car, the placement of the dent seems to be perfect! We had a guy back out and hit us in a Lowes parking lot about 6 months ago. We tried to go through his insurance but the vehicle he was driving, was NOT covered on the insurance info he gave us! What could we do...sue him in small claims court? He didn't have a lot of money as we don't either so thought this was just a lost cause. GREAT video, going to give this a go!! Thanks...Hugs from Texas!! xx
Kelly W. You’re welcome! I’ll have you know, this was also filmed in TX :)
Yee haa! LOL I'm here in Galveston County about 15 min from Galveston Island. : )
First make a dent on that guy then repair the dent on your car. Just to reduce the chances of dents in the future
Well did it work? :)
I haven't got that kind of plunger yet plus everyone caught a chest cold... just didn't get to it yet. Ugh! I will let ya know with an update. Fingers crossed it will work...I'm very optimistic!! Hugs from Texas : )
Best video, no clickbait, straight to the good stuff!! Thank you champion, subbed
"Use boiling water to fix car dents"
There's always one, isn't there? FFS
Boiling water *am I a joke to you?*
Or *wait that's illegal*
The boiling water softened the material so that the dent is easily pulled out. My Uncle does this for a side hustle, really works!
@@FATMANYOU2 does he know about using toothpaste to clean head lights
@@Cre8Lounge I've seen it done.
Fixed my dent in 2 mins with your help had same dent like yours rear corner its not perfect but saved me money and not so noticeable now. Thanks !!!
any tips on how to get under the bumper to push? Im having trouble with that part.
@@GoBuckeyes554 in my ford focus the dent was rear bottom corner it was easy to reach under the bumper and push. You I imagine theres a cover where your hand cant reach to get the dent out my advice get help from someone to remove the bumper safely so they know how to put back unless you know how in screw the side cover I never did this so cant help you much sorry
@@azrkaa8804 appreciate the reply thank you!
Tried this after viewing this great video. It worked!! Thank you!!
I've got to try this.
@ fjfjrfjfjr. nobody is explaing if this is steel, fiberglass, plastic? if it really worked for you, what is your car made of? please.
@@kathywillett3920 steel main panel, plastic bumper
Fibre glass won't bend, it just splits and shatters
I pulled the paint of my car with this method fml
This might be the GOAT of TH-cam videos.
Straight to the point. No bs. Love it
I see 7.4k auto body shops mad at you for this awsome video...# thanksi got dent out my car that was quoted for $600 to restore.
This really does work. It doesn't come out perfect, but sometimes a bumper sticker covers it all up and it looks new again. Make sure you use a non offensive, non political, or non religious one so some jerk doesn't key your car.
I have the exact same car, 2004 Camry, so this is great info, if it ever gets dented! So far, so good!
Now ya can use that car insurance money for something else ;)
You got a point bro. There you nailed it.
That winkie face feels like a violation of my soul
Weed and hookers
@GirlyGirl Hippy it isn't. The car is broken, they pay, and you do whatever you want with the car from that very moment.
They pay because you pay them and you have an agreement. If the car wasn't broken, it would be fraud to claim money for it.
I said the same thing lol
That moment when you spent half the day taking out a dent and figured boiling water was all it took.........
How did you do it
My brother bought a nissan altima for $500 because the entire roof was caved in... I LITERALLY SAID WATCH THIS,.... I put my arm in the car and used the palm of my hand to smack upwards on the ceiling of the car about midsection where the domelight is... INSTANTLY it looked like a brand new car.... all it took was one solid whack.
Zoologic Dand yeh.. my dad bought one for £50
@Zoological Dand In the United States the least you can resell a car for is $500 unless you claim it as a gift on your taxes.
@P C It was pretty cool,.. really wasn't expecting it to work perfect but it did and my lil brother was very happy.
You seem like orange man hater.
I will trust you.
@@joegrumpy1268 think yew fello hewmen.
There was this plastic invented over 25 years ago that returns to its original form when you pour hot water on it, but it never made it to production.
Makes sense bc the scam called “insurance”would be irrelevant
A while back I seen this stuff that looked like metal and they bent it and poured something on it looked like water and it went back to normal it was crazy
Confirmed that it works, thank you

@@Rude_Boi Boil it.
@@TheNumber1Villain nice
Omg lol
Life hack 2
Use a ramp or a curbside for easier access to the dent
Out of all the outrageous money they charge for auto body work and that's what it takes??!!! This video is awesome!!!!!
That's pure magic!!! I wish I knew about this years ago!!
And to think that I paid 800USD to someone to get that fixed Pfff!!...
I mean he's really not an idiot... What a camera and this video doesn't show is how shit your dent is still gonna look. I've been a paint tech in autobody for a decade and basically.. Anyone that knows how a paint job/body job is supposed to look laughs at anyone that thinks backyard bodywork looks good. If you want it done right, you pay a professional... Or.. Don't try and act like hot water even compares. Respect the trade. Idiot.
Peugeot 406 I kinda feel like I already clarified my experience. Sure though, I shouldn't talk shit.. Wouldn't wanna go around making a fool of myself by calling ppl idiot for no reason. That'd be embarrassing. Idk what I was thinking, how could someone in autobody even compare to a mechanic when it comes to body work.
I'd say it worked ok for the small dent but it wasn't gonna smooth out that bumper issue.
Robert Johnson yeah you said you are a paint technician not an auto body specialist. Stay in your paint booth and quit acting like you know something special. Your job is to spray what your told, you just hear the gossip from the body specialists lol
Robert Johnson respect the trade of filling in a hole and smoothing it over? Umm, I think not.
Man I can't believe people's posts on this, just unreal. Guys, the first part of the car or the first dent is on metal, the bumper or second dent is plastic, hot water makes both of them easier to deal with when trying to remove the dent. What the hell is wrong with some of you?
Stephen Klick Dude , I've been trying to figure that same thing out for the last month or so! haha
Stephen Klick Ah and I see another Beatles fan as well. It's no wonder you got this right away. 👊🏻✌🏻
TeamFamily Yeah, the Beatles are pretty great. My Dad and Brother are way more into them, I kind of picked up through them but I've always liked their music, and their songs are challenging and fun to play. Good little riffs to keep around. Someone asked me to play working class hero the other day. I think I'll get into that, then I'll figure out more life hacks to beating the system. Haha. I can't believe how crazy some of these people are but then again???? I always appreciate good TH-cam video's.
Stephen Klick there's no plastic on a car, it's carbon fiber
Terminator X Hopefully that's a joke otherwise, you're a fucking idiot.
I had a very similar corner dent shown in the video so I got my boyfriend to give it a shot, and low and behold IT REALLY WORKS!!
