Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video. I'll be taking the next 3 weeks or so off as I need a mental reset and some time with my wife and son. I'll be back soon before you know it. Appreciate you guys! Submit your clips/photos at www.justrolledinyt.com
Seeing all these cars going thousands of miles without oil changes maybe I should stop worrying when I miss my oil change interval by few hundred miles.
Deployed for two years. While I was gone, my sister used my car. She traveled all over hell and half of Georgia. I forget how many thousands of miles she put on it. About two months after I got back and took the car back, of a Sunday morning in the middle of nowhere, there came a wondrous knocking from the engine. Valve lifter collapse because oil was about the consistency of seasoned oak.
Precisely. I skipped the annual change in 2022, and had almost 16000 km, or 2 years, by the time I did it in 2023. So far so good but I feel like most irresponsible cheapskate.

I once had a customer who came in eating a burger and asking about a car. It was after hours, I was closing up shop, plus he had no ID, no down payment, no proof of residency, no proof of income, he had nothing. When I refused, he just took the beef patty, put that in his mouth, and just dropped the rest of the burger on the carpet. There was a trash can inches from his feet, but he didn't even bother to aim for that.
I had a Just Rolled In moment the other day. My daughter and I took her car to get some new tires and after it was all said and done, she had 3 busted lugnuts and only two holding the tire on. I gingerly drove it down the street to the Honda dealership so they could replace all of the wheel studs. I have never been so scared before driving a vehicle but that was sketchy as hell. My wife was following behind me and she was freaking out the whole time. How do you think I felt, woman. But all is good and it's safe to drive and the most important thing. This customer DID NOT REFUSE REPAIRS!

It may die right after oil change. New oil loosens all the old gunk and you never know where it goes and what plugs up. If all of it goes into oil filter, that may cause loss of oil pressure.
@@bobstevenson3130 One of the worst cases I've had - after the first oil change was done, surprise, oil light came up shortly. Found my new oil filter plugged solid and bit distorted with all that pressure buildup. Replaced the filter, let it run some more, then repeated oil change.

We had a guy at work not change the oil in his company truck for almost 70,000 miles. Our oil changes are super simple - take it to the lube place, tell them the company it’s for and then sign two papers…that literally it, no documentation to keep track of, no receipts. He also had the entire back seat and front passenger seat full of Hunt Brothers pizza boxes, and empty Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper bottles. And when I say full, I mean literally floor to ceiling.

That's not Fair.. you don't know these people What if they're insanely poor? And can't afford oil. What if they're intellectually challenged like low functioning Autism. Your comment is what shouldn't be allowed in public
@@AEMoreira81 I'm sorry, I can't remember. I think it is, but there are so many channels like this so I can't be sure. I hope someone can come forward with a better answer than I can. The clip is WAY too funny.
well it depends on their situation. are they working ungodly amounts of overtime or just lazy? when you work too much life just becomes a blur and you forget simple things like what day of the week it is. i had a 12/7 job for about 3 months. i had almost no time to go to the store to buy food. often had to go into work late because i needed to run to the store. you sleep 8 hrs drive for an hour a day and only have about 3 hours a day or less to take care of your needs.
Bloody hell, I mean........... I've been in the trade in the '80's and hell I fuss over my classic E-Type not being right. I've seen some things but ............... These are all bloody brilliant and always make me either jaw drop or laugh like hell. You my good friend do an amazing job at collating all these, I salute you.
Y'all who live in the rust belt; God bless you all. Y'all are taking your lives in your hands every time you drive. I am very thankful I live in the land of no salt on the roads.
I don't know where to begin 😬 The whole video was great/shocking and reminds me of something important my father taught me as a kid: If you don't know what you're doin, don't. Enjoy your time off with family! ✌️😎🇺🇲
@@cloroxlavenderscent4307 Yes, had a sales rep who got a new vehicle, and was canned after a year or so, for unrelated things. Looked at the vehicle, and it had done 60 000km on the factory oil, as it, along with the tyres, had never been changed at all. Oil was on the low mark as well, and pretty black.
Neighbor was a traveling salesman. Bragged he never had to add oil to his car. When he finally took the car in for an oil change after many thousands of miles, there was no oil. Except there was oil burned onto the dipstick, and the dipstick driver thought it was showing oil in the engine. Oh well - company car. Who cares?
@@dsbennett Nowadys these cars are generally leased for two years, so after two years they get returned anyways. These cars normally have full coverage for any maintenance, which some people use to the point where it's almost abusing. I think my brother once took his in because the washer fluid was empty.
Hoovie, from Hoovie's Garage, had a Maserati Levante that had at least 60K miles since the last oil change. It still ran though and after two oil flushes, it ran like new. It also had traces of meth in it because it was an auctioned off drug dealer's car.
Auto techs & mechanics are a blessing & we couldn't get by without them, but for some reason I feel they are interrupting the process of natural selection. 🤣
Seeing those vehicles with the sludged/consistency of play-doh oil always freaks me out. Personally I follow the Hank Hill school of oil changes - every 3000 miles (5000km for the rest of us) intervals or whenever I get bored. Hasn't failed me yet.
Another awesome video. Enjoy your time off with your family. We'll wait as long as needed for more of these I-wouldn't-belive-it-if-I-didn't-see-it videos.
Most of the people owning these car dont belong on the road. I am serious. If you cant see the stuck shoes under your pedals, how are you supposed to see and react to traffic in a safe way? This video especially was absolutely shocking and shameful all around.
I keep thinking that there just cannot be that many crazy and that many stupid people out there. But you keep proving me wrong. Love it! I had to change my shorts after this one.
The dude who just rolled up to a shop and started doing an oil change outside would have gotten his ass beat for just draining the oil on the ground like that. It's like if someone just walked up to your front door and started to drop a log
I've seen people do oil changes in an apartment parking lot and just dump the oil on the ground. Some people just don't give a rip. And then they wonder why property managers don't allow working on your vehicle anymore. They just can't figure it out!
2:56 I worked with a guy who used to drain his oil into a spot in his backyard. We told him he was an ahole for doing this, and he was genuinely upset. Said "Its my property!" Some people just don't care.....
In one city I used to live in there was a massive cleanup at a county maintenance garage after they found an oil plume in the groundwater under it. Seems the county truck mechanics had been dumping used engine oil into a hole in the floor for decades.
"Yeah, and it's YOUR DOG who could drink the ground water!" There's a *slight* and highly unlikely chance that he was using Renewable Lubricants' oil which is non-toxic, but maybe 9,999,999 out of 10,000,000 times, he wasn't.
Local car for sale: Sign on it states, "Has had engine replaced." Turns out the radiator went bad, and instead of fixing it, they just kept driving the car until the engine blew.
Wait, so 1st guy tampered with odometer and tried to scam the dealer out of a warranty I bet since they rolled it back under 30k miles which is standard bumper to bumper. I hope the cops were waiting for that customer for both of those felonies
In Europe he would be arrested for environmental related crimes. Polluting on purpose, on public or other man's land... Obviously would need to pay for the cleaning, what include excavation of the soil, the cleaning of this polluted soil and pay for all the repairs needed. Roughly $10.000 No joke. Ow and the judge will give him a fine, $5000, plus record... How is it possible that he can get away with criminal acts like that in the USA? Not illegal to dump oil?
@@fhorst02 You're not supposed to do that, but many people are lazy & don't care, the fines are much lower, and so rarely caught that it's stunning when it finally happens.
Ive had a customer this week that told me the AC didnt go cold.. so i checked and refilled the AC and when we together tried if it got cold it turned out she didnt push the AC button😂😂😂😂😂
I've had two customers (one a real customer, the other was a *student in my automotive A/C class I taught* ) tell me their A/C didn't work. Upon inspection, neither vehicle had ever had A/C!
@@61rampy65That sounds like a Suzuki Vitara I saw, one of the last of the JT shape. 4WD not working. Had the switches, they lit up, 4WD errors came up on the cluster. Look underneath - no transfer case, no front diff or CV shafts. A mix-up at the factory made a car that lies to you!!
@@61rampy65and that is exactly the reason why so many people no longer trust a garage anymore!!! 😢 Checking if powered on should be the first step, not trial and error refill AC kind of crap. Diagnose is done 98% with your eyes, 2% tools. Yet.. so many seem to have forgotten this and just try to fix the first thing that pops in their mind... (Or because the car computer tells them) Lazy mechanics... Charging an hour for showing the on off switch or telling there isn't AC? Shame on you. Shame! Please tell me what garage you work so we can avoid.
" I hope you enjoyed this video and thanks for watching." No, it struck terror into me! Some crazy people out there. Plus, again, we can ratchet up the counter on the numnuts who buy new cars and never change the oil.
As a lover of cars and anything mechanical it breaks my heart how people can be so DUMB and how tgey can get a licence so easy. Great job lads keep up the AMAZING work you do. Greetings from the UK
That last one should have been a concerned call to the non-emergency line. Like "Hey there's this teal (green?) car driving down the road... crooked. With the trunk open. Can y'all get them off the road?"
"This Mercedes came in for an scheduled service, and the owner apologised for being 2.3 km past the recommended service interval." A lot of European countries have mandatory vehicle inspections, so some of these would be caught. They might not catch the missing oil change issues, but would probably catch some of the egregious mechanical issues--broken frames, etc.
They almost failed me at mandatory technical examination because I removed my fog lights. You have to do it once a year and you can't legally register and drive the car if you fail.
@@ajkulac9895 one of my fog lights in my 03' e46 got taken out by a raccoon several years ago. Not required by DMV NE to repair. Been hanging under the front clip every since then like 3 years ago. Edit: made sure nothing was going to break loose.
This is not new. When I was in high school...early 80s...my friend worked at his family's repair shop. One day they had a Toyota Corolla towed in. The car had a seized engine. They concluded that the owner never had the oil changed. When they contacted the owner and asked her if she ever had the oil changed she stated, "NO! I'm not falling for that dealer trick."
Funny actually how some of these vehicles get driven away from the shop. In most of Europe you can't do that if its not street legal and the shop will call the cops on you if you tried.
If the shop is smart, they make the customer sign an acknowledgement of how unsafe it is before returning the keys. Good luck trying to get cops to respond to a report of that in under 2 hours though. The car will be long gone.
Plot twist, safety inspection are not mandatory all over US and several states didnt had any so you can drive around with your death trap until It litteraly falls appart
That's why I change my oil every 89,999 miles whether it needs it or not. Actually I change my oil every 3,000 miles. 2010 Nissan Altima 221,000 miles and it doesn't use a drop of oil. No " fancy " oil or filter, whatever is cheapest at Auto Zone or Advance.
As a European, seing some of the cars that are on the road in the US reminds me of some of the cars I saw in Africa. We decry tech inspections because it cost money but at least there are no death trap driving with us on the roads.
If the Police in the USA see a car that looks dangerous on the road they can potentialy put it out of service or write a repair order preventing them from driving it. This is less than 1% of the cars on the road. Majority of the folks have decent cars on the motorways here.
1% deathtraps.. Compared to 0.0001 in EU. A traffic jam, 100 cars... 20 got smashed because the 1% did not have good enough brakes. 1% is absurd amount of cars that should not be allowed. I wonder if 1% of the guns in the USA would misfire and explode... There would be quickly regulations for this!! So so so sad...
@@Fix_It_Again_Tonysadly I agree. I've seen some footage of Philly ... Even the slums in new Delhi are better... Or Sau Paulo... Those places I've seen and it was horrible. Philly...😢 How is it possible that a country as USA has worse care then India or Brazil!!
While working for a trucking company, we had a truck come in that was 50,000 miles past its regular B-service (oil change) interval , normal interval at that time was 25,000 miles. Additionally, we also performed what we called an A-service at 12,500 miles between oil changes. So not only did the driver skip 2 oil changes, skipped routine 2 vehicle inspections. As a result, we ended up putting $12,000 worth of repairs on the truck.
Sometimes it is truly baffling how cars in the US can drive around. Over here they wouldn't even let you drive out of the workshop anymore when a car is that broken.
@@rhuephus Nah even in britain as long as your car can pass a pretty light set of tests (that most shops don't even perform properly anyway) they let you drive out. A lot of MOT places earn a reputation of being "easy", which is they will just pass anything, because it is a bunch of guaranteed business for them. Basically once you have the set up qualifications to be classed as an MOT testing center there's no real quality control past that point to make sure you're actually testing correctly.

But first of all, a motor vehicle!
Any time I feel a little dumb I watch these videos to feel better about myself.
When I see vehicles treated like this I always wonder how their owners make it through everyday life.
These videos have solidified my firm belief of A) there's no cure for stupid and B) there's no hope for Humanity
Justrolledin to a much better day! Unlike a lot of these less-than-mechanically-savvy folks lmao
I always look forward to these! The people who haven't changed their oil just astound me.
well it depends on their situation. are they working ungodly amounts of overtime or just lazy?
when you work too much life just becomes a blur and you forget simple things like what day of the week it is.
i had a 12/7 job for about 3 months. i had almost no time to go to the store to buy food. often had to go into work late because i needed to run to the store. you sleep 8 hrs drive for an hour a day and only have about 3 hours a day or less to take care of your needs.
Knowing these people in real life is also a tragedy in itself ---> my sister.
90000 miles, is that a new record for Just Rolled In? Nice touch with the last clip.
I believe so!
We did see 12 years without an oil change in an older video but I don't think it had that many miles on it though.
I just hate it when people take up two lanes when driving ! Thanks and have a great weekend.
and ... they take up at least 4 parking spots
now that is having a problem with your brake "shoes!"
😂 yes
*ba-dum-tss*
I'd say they have problems in their brain, too 😅
Bloody hell, I mean........... I've been in the trade in the '80's and hell I fuss over my classic E-Type not being right. I've seen some things but ............... These are all bloody brilliant and always make me either jaw drop or laugh like hell. You my good friend do an amazing job at collating all these, I salute you.
Some people do not need to own vehicles! It’s always mind blowing to see these videos and how these people are still alive !

Always a great lesson for car repairs on how not to talks care of your car… love to laugh!!!
So much fun to be out on the road on a motorcycle with people like these customers.
I feel you ... now how about trying to have a nice cruise in a un - replaceable classic car? that's the terror I go thru nowadays 😢😢
I followed my buddy with blinkers when he drove a car home from impound like the last one going sideways and straight. People loved it.
That Lexus is legitimately impressive that it lasted as long as some well maintained engines without an oil change
I'm not it's a Toyota
@@cloroxlavenderscent4307 Yes, had a sales rep who got a new vehicle, and was canned after a year or so, for unrelated things. Looked at the vehicle, and it had done 60 000km on the factory oil, as it, along with the tyres, had never been changed at all. Oil was on the low mark as well, and pretty black.
Neighbor was a traveling salesman. Bragged he never had to add oil to his car. When he finally took the car in for an oil change after many thousands of miles, there was no oil. Except there was oil burned onto the dipstick, and the dipstick driver thought it was showing oil in the engine. Oh well - company car. Who cares?
@@dsbennett Nowadys these cars are generally leased for two years, so after two years they get returned anyways. These cars normally have full coverage for any maintenance, which some people use to the point where it's almost abusing. I think my brother once took his in because the washer fluid was empty.
Hoovie, from Hoovie's Garage, had a Maserati Levante that had at least 60K miles since the last oil change. It still ran though and after two oil flushes, it ran like new. It also had traces of meth in it because it was an auctioned off drug dealer's car.
That last clip is actually impressive in a sad sort of way.
Auto techs & mechanics are a blessing & we couldn't get by without them, but for some reason I feel they are interrupting the process of natural selection. 🤣
No, they're highlighting natural selection: "This one is a darwin award".
I don't know whether to laugh or cringe anymore.
It's funny, but at the same time someone like the guy with a shoe under his brake pedal could be driving behind you.
Eeeeeeeeuuuuuunhhhhhh
a little of both?
1:17 Whew! Can I just say how relieved I am that that wasn't a case of "customer declined all repairs and drove it away"?
Seeing those vehicles with the sludged/consistency of play-doh oil always freaks me out.
Personally I follow the Hank Hill school of oil changes - every 3000 miles (5000km for the rest of us) intervals or whenever I get bored. Hasn't failed me yet.
Another awesome video. Enjoy your time off with your family. We'll wait as long as needed for more of these I-wouldn't-belive-it-if-I-didn't-see-it videos.
0:05 Customer: car has 26k miles
Technician: car has 90k
customer: I just changed the oil
Technician: you’ve never changed the oil
Ford Tech here, and honestly I see shit like this in a day to day basis 💀 love a good laugh
Most of the people owning these car dont belong on the road. I am serious. If you cant see the stuck shoes under your pedals, how are you supposed to see and react to traffic in a safe way? This video especially was absolutely shocking and shameful all around.
I just saw the auto-generated caption for the Just Rolled In intro. It describes the squealing tires and rumbling crunch as "Applause."
I keep thinking that there just cannot be that many crazy and that many stupid people out there. But you keep proving me wrong. Love it! I had to change my shorts after this one.
This one was particularly hilarious. Have a wonderful time off and enjoy your family!
The dude who just rolled up to a shop and started doing an oil change outside would have gotten his ass beat for just draining the oil on the ground like that. It's like if someone just walked up to your front door and started to drop a log
I've seen people do oil changes in an apartment parking lot and just dump the oil on the ground. Some people just don't give a rip. And then they wonder why property managers don't allow working on your vehicle anymore. They just can't figure it out!
Really like the sidewinder POS!! Gives a new meaning to "all I want to do is left turns!"
Last one is called crabbing.
You have to do that when you have a strong crosswind.
But the back wheels are at 20 degree angle from the car. That... can't be right for that particular car.
@@BrBill - depends on the crosswinds.
@@MrYfrank14 Yeah, maybe it's 2 different hurricanes hitting each other at the same moment
@BrBill - that would do it.
Clockwise hurricane from the east and a counterclockwise hurricane from the west would do it.
Hmm, I wonder what the maximum demonstrated crosswind component for an early 2000's sedan is?
that drift at the end tho ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
In my experience, if you're performing a recall service on any car over 10 years old it seems to always look like the one at 1:18 lol
That last one could also be "this is what it looks like when they try to drive it into the shop for an unrelated issue".
Every time I change my oil I have a thought in the back of my mind. Please don't mess this up and end up on this show.
The last one is - to the *experienced* eye - a skillful drift. 😄
Aye Caramba! I start sweating if I go 50 miles over the designated oil change date.
The clip of a customer driving home after declining all repairs is just spot on !!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:56 I worked with a guy who used to drain his oil into a spot in his backyard. We told him he was an ahole for doing this, and he was genuinely upset. Said "Its my property!" Some people just don't care.....
Definitely the a-hole
And these kinds of people are allowed to breed.
You should have told him “yeah and it’s my drinking water”
In one city I used to live in there was a massive cleanup at a county maintenance garage after they found an oil plume in the groundwater under it. Seems the county truck mechanics had been dumping used engine oil into a hole in the floor for decades.
"Yeah, and it's YOUR DOG who could drink the ground water!"
There's a *slight* and highly unlikely chance that he was using Renewable Lubricants' oil which is non-toxic, but maybe 9,999,999 out of 10,000,000 times, he wasn't.
Dude in the Lexus looks like he tried getting that odometer rolled back fresh oil change before trying to sell it 😂😂
The mechanic that was next to the air bag that deployed randomly probably had to change his pants after that loud noise.
He probably at least had a verbal WTF moment.
At least it didn't deploy when the customer was driving down the road!
@@wayneswonderarium yeah, it might have cost a life. 😬
And their ass randomly deployed also
Local car for sale: Sign on it states, "Has had engine replaced."
Turns out the radiator went bad, and instead of fixing it, they just kept driving the car until the engine blew.
Moral of the story: NEVER leave your dog unattended in your vehicle!
"good" was my thought when I saw that one.
I mean I guess if they left the car+AC running that's fine, but 😡 at folks leaving animals in cars
NEVER have a dog. Fixes all these problems.
You have the best videos. I remember these days when I was twisting a wrench. Some of the things I've seen. 😅😅
Wow the customer saved on about 8 oil changes…
And it cost him an engine replacement…
Sounds like economic rationality to me !!!
Well done!
A scary fact these people are out there everyday..🤣🤣
Wait, so 1st guy tampered with odometer and tried to scam the dealer out of a warranty I bet since they rolled it back under 30k miles which is standard bumper to bumper. I hope the cops were waiting for that customer for both of those felonies
I don’t understand why I hear from drivers “oh I’m not a mechanic so how am I to know this or that is bad”
It’s called common sense
OMG he just emptied the oil into the parking lot? Someone needs to be slapped hard.
In Europe he would be arrested for environmental related crimes.
Polluting on purpose, on public or other man's land...
Obviously would need to pay for the cleaning, what include excavation of the soil, the cleaning of this polluted soil and pay for all the repairs needed.
Roughly $10.000
No joke.
Ow and the judge will give him a fine, $5000, plus record...
How is it possible that he can get away with criminal acts like that in the USA?
Not illegal to dump oil?
@@fhorst02 You're not supposed to do that, but many people are lazy & don't care, the fines are much lower, and so rarely caught that it's stunning when it finally happens.

As a lover of cars and anything mechanical it breaks my heart how people can be so DUMB and how tgey can get a licence so easy. Great job lads keep up the AMAZING work you do. Greetings from the UK
That last one should have been a concerned call to the non-emergency line. Like "Hey there's this teal (green?) car driving down the road... crooked. With the trunk open. Can y'all get them off the road?"
I can’t stop watching…. It amazes me how dumb people can be. Hard brake… uhhh never mind them sneakers under there. 😂
Man, these are some of the most insane clips yet!
I would like to see the European version of just rolled in.
"This Mercedes came in for an scheduled service, and the owner apologised for being 2.3 km past the recommended service interval."
A lot of European countries have mandatory vehicle inspections, so some of these would be caught. They might not catch the missing oil change issues, but would probably catch some of the egregious mechanical issues--broken frames, etc.
you probably will NEVER see one.
They almost failed me at mandatory technical examination because I removed my fog lights. You have to do it once a year and you can't legally register and drive the car if you fail.
@@ajkulac9895 one of my fog lights in my 03' e46 got taken out by a raccoon several years ago. Not required by DMV NE to repair. Been hanging under the front clip every since then like 3 years ago.
Edit: made sure nothing was going to break loose.
That last one, about the customer declining repairs.....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s simple, they just don’t know how to change oil- 😂
This is not new. When I was in high school...early 80s...my friend worked at his family's repair shop. One day they had a Toyota Corolla towed in. The car had a seized engine. They concluded that the owner never had the oil changed. When they contacted the owner and asked her if she ever had the oil changed she stated, "NO! I'm not falling for that dealer trick."
@@MrSloika She sure showed them.
@@MrSloika Mostly everyone that isn’t a car guy, or interested in their car (not being rude) doesn’t know lol
OR they work 12/7 job and simply dont have the time.

@@MrSloika "Not New?" Surely there were people in the 1910s that also didn't know this. You just never hear of it because it was so long ago.
Gotta give that motorcycle at the end some love. ❤
Funny actually how some of these vehicles get driven away from the shop. In most of Europe you can't do that if its not street legal and the shop will call the cops on you if you tried.
If the shop is smart, they make the customer sign an acknowledgement of how unsafe it is before returning the keys. Good luck trying to get cops to respond to a report of that in under 2 hours though. The car will be long gone.
Plot twist, safety inspection are not mandatory all over US and several states didnt had any so you can drive around with your death trap until It litteraly falls appart
That's why I change my oil every
89,999 miles whether it needs it or not.
Actually I change my oil every 3,000 miles. 2010 Nissan Altima 221,000 miles and it doesn't use a drop of oil. No " fancy " oil or filter, whatever is cheapest at Auto Zone or Advance.
It amazes how stupid people are to not check for things like the shoes behind the brakes and not checking to see if the air vent was open
Your absolutely right, that’s what vehicles look like after declining all repairs! Lol
They test people to drive, but they should test these people before they breed as well
3:05 DEJA VU! I'VE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE...
As a European, seing some of the cars that are on the road in the US reminds me of some of the cars I saw in Africa. We decry tech inspections because it cost money but at least there are no death trap driving with us on the roads.
The US is an interesting place. World leaders in some respects, but a third world country in others.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony It has diversity in all regards
If the Police in the USA see a car that looks dangerous on the road they can potentialy put it out of service or write a repair order preventing them from driving it. This is less than 1% of the cars on the road. Majority of the folks have decent cars on the motorways here.
1% deathtraps..
Compared to 0.0001 in EU.
A traffic jam, 100 cars...
20 got smashed because the 1% did not have good enough brakes.
1% is absurd amount of cars that should not be allowed.
I wonder if 1% of the guns in the USA would misfire and explode...
There would be quickly regulations for this!!
So so so sad...
@@Fix_It_Again_Tonysadly I agree. I've seen some footage of Philly ... Even the slums in new Delhi are better...
Or Sau Paulo... Those places I've seen and it was horrible.
Philly...😢
How is it possible that a country as USA has worse care then India or Brazil!!
While working for a trucking company, we had a truck come in that was 50,000 miles past its regular B-service (oil change) interval , normal interval at that time was 25,000 miles. Additionally, we also performed what we called an A-service at 12,500 miles between oil changes. So not only did the driver skip 2 oil changes, skipped routine 2 vehicle inspections. As a result, we ended up putting $12,000 worth of repairs on the truck.
Sometimes it is truly baffling how cars in the US can drive around. Over here they wouldn't even let you drive out of the workshop anymore when a car is that broken.
And then they wonder why their car broke down in traffic or failed in a way to cause an accident.
"over here" must mean either Germany or Britain
@@rhuephus Nah even in britain as long as your car can pass a pretty light set of tests (that most shops don't even perform properly anyway) they let you drive out. A lot of MOT places earn a reputation of being "easy", which is they will just pass anything, because it is a bunch of guaranteed business for them. Basically once you have the set up qualifications to be classed as an MOT testing center there's no real quality control past that point to make sure you're actually testing correctly.
Because 'Murica freedumz! *fires assault rifle in the air*
Pretty much all of the European continent that isn't called East and even there they are not as bad as some of those in the US.
