Got brakes!? OMG I just can't with these people. AND they are driving the vehicle out of the shop and on the road home!!!!!!!!🎉 best part
The spray foam never ends😅😂😂😂😅
“I just got back from Yellowstone. My brakes are sticking “
(standing_ovation)
Blows me away - why even have a shop look at your issues when you have no intention of getting it repaired. I hope they charge for their time!!!
Person with pink loofa on the roof rails....bow chicka bow wow...😂
LOL It's hilarious when people say this because all the times I've been to The Villages, I've only ever seen 2 vehicles with loofas.
@@ihazdashcam lmao, they are not just confined there. I have seen more cars in near by areas...one is pretty peculiar with 5 or 6 loofas in different colors....you know what I mean...😂
@@ihazdashcamwhere is this “Villages” that people are talking about? I’m from Australia and we tend to keep ours in the shower with our snakes and beers.
@@MeppyMan The Villages is a giant 55+ community in Florida, USA, characterized by old fogies driving around in golf carts, infinite petty drama, and reportedly, the highest STD rate in America.
that hitch..do you not have eyeballs that work?
Maybe it was the same guy who had the spilled jug of oil in his pickup bed.
2:14 Jeep owners doing stupid things. Am I surprised? Not at all.
Well it's a Jeep thing. The people with brains aren't supposed to understand.
As a Jeep owner, I cringed so hard at that clip. I mean, yeah, it's a Stellantis, so the engine will probably fail before the "lift kit" does, but still!
When I first bought my Cherokee, everyone asked me, "So, ya gonna lift it?" Nope, factory ride height is A-OK with me. Not messing with lifts, driveline & steering geometry, "bolt-on" parts that don't line up... 🙅♂
@@dashcamandy2242 I still don't get the point of a lift kit cause I've driven my Altis through mud before just slammed the pedal to the metal and powered it through so only reason I'd see a lift kit necessary is either you live in an area with flood or do real serious offroading for fun
Another shop is quickly becoming the new florida man
And to a lesser extent Alabama man.
"another shop" IS Florida man, lol.
and here I thought we were getting an episode without a spray foam incident, so close, yet so far..
I want to know what that calculator is for, so badly!!
MPG?
What that calculator WAS for
Looks like a RHD car is probably one of them "WHAT THE HELL IS A KILOMETER" people
That’s not a loofa, that’s a roofa
roofies git more chicks !!
@@practicalplinking6133 Sir I'm gonna need you to take a seat right over there...
@@ZboeC5 In a minute, I'm busy !!
@@practicalplinking6133 Well in that case I'm gone
The last time I was this early, cars were still fixed with bondo instead of spray foam.
Looks like Bondope follows that foamasterpiece at the end but me no expert; just love JRI for the horror & humor blend!
It's only a matter of time before you see a great big display of spray foam inside of Autozone. It's what the people want, they don't care if it actually works...
Cars like these are the reason why I have a lot of stuff delivered so I can stay off the road.
As a self taught "take care of only my van" mechanic, I love watching this stuff to test my knowledge. Can I understand what's wrong without pausing the video lol.
first guy is a legend. one of my rear pads fell out once. it was the outside one so the caliper body was scraping the disc. i managed to get to work, then to the shop to get some new discs and pads and then home to fit them with minimal damage, i drove slowly and used engine braking as much as possible.
Great video, as always
3:05 now that is a proper jaaag
01:08 I’d pay for the mechanic’s time with a smile on my face knowing I dodged potentially thousands on engine repairs
It's scary to think some of these cars could be driving next to you on the highway....
😂😂😂 Drilled holes in the roof 😂😂
Any time I start having a more positive outlook on humanity, another one of these videos reminds me I'm wrong. (And yet I still look forward to the next one.)
I learned early in life that I lacked the patience and desire to be my own mechanic. 53 years after getting my first used cluncker, I salute the skills of the pros that helped me through all the cars I've had since then. Most did excellent work, and no-one did poor work. What I didn't save in money, I more than made up in time and feeling secure. To you all, 🍻🌹
1:47 I once severely scratched my scalp waling underneath a car on a lifter, where the screws of an exhaust connection protruded downwards. I didn't stoop low enough and paid the price... I still have the scars underneath my hair, 5 years later.
do not underestimate the sharpness of such bolts and screws.
Dude that classic Jaguar...
It was slick. Probably a nightmare to maintain given Jaguar's rep for quality but still a sick car.
@@bmstylee nightmare yep, but one day you will see a reflection of you in the car and all your worries will be secondary
Wat een prachtige auto!
@@bmstylee Nah, look at the oval indicators. That's an x308 ('97-'03) They ditched the cursed V12 and L6 for the absolutely indestructible AJ-V8. And if anything does break you can usually fix it in your own garage. The X308 is okay, but the X350 (2003-2009) is basically a British Crown Vic.
"Another shop installed..." 🤣🤣
Aparantly the loofahs on cars have meanings. Some say it's to find their car easier in the parking lot, for others it's a sex thing.
"White is for beginners, black is for couples who want it all, teal apparently means bisexual, purple is for those who like to watch, yellow is for couples that are down, but still nervous, pink likes others people to watch them and blue means they play well with others."
I always appreciate the palate cleanser at the end of these videos to relieve from the minutes of sheer pain
The scary thing is these people still GET TO VOTE.
The cargobox got me 😂😂😂😂 holy cow why would somebody do that?
Every time I feel sad because of my old janky car, I watch your videos and feel much better :)
Good to see spray foam still making an appearance. You should do a compilation of the spray foam attempts to fix vehicles.
1:44 oh… the loofa on the roof is a swinger thing.. like if you’re traveling and stop at a rest-stop or hotel people in-the-know can tell and approach you. Certain colors mean certain preferences i think. Heard about it years ago
Definitely a home job whenever "another shop" worked on their car!!
Imagine how much money spray foam companies would make if they marketed their product towards cars?
The oil leak from the bed of the truck. 😂😂
After the horror show I appreciate the beauty pageant.
Audible concern sounds!
Ha ha ha front sway bar end links oh my God oh my God I’m freaking my my stomach I can’t stop laughing
It’s possible that pink loofah tied to the roof rack could mean the same thing as a pineapple on your porch😂
How did we ever do any vehicle repairs before spray foam came out😂😂😂😂😂
duct tape, cable ties pop rivets
Zipties chicken wire and duct tape at least thats what I mostly use
A mint Jag that runs at the end? Fuggin' Unicorn!
"Should be fine, right?"
-- Another Shop.
Auto mechanics stories are just as good as cops or doctors!
This is just your friendly reminder that these people are driving WITH you on the roads. Think about the ones we don't see..... Stay safe out there.
Honestly I trust these people more than the drunk who slammed my trunk when I told him NOTHING NOTHING and then said he gonna get his gun after yelling "WHOS THE POLICE" and then opening and slamming the door to some guys M3 getting his ass beat by us both or in short when you think people like him gonna drive home LIKE THAT messing with people they never met you realize these ones are the least of your issues then again the drunks could full well be driving cars like this so maybe you should worry more
"I can't get the receiver in my hitch." Same. I hate it when that happens.
Is yours rusty too? 🤣
The loofah on the roof rack is there to help them find their car in a large parking lot.
That loofa is a telltale sign of the upside down pineapple club, I think 😂
The first one was inventive. When out in the bush it's something I would have done. But only to drive to the nearest workshop.
1:47 Sell him some toilet tank bolts. lol.
Most commonly heard on this channel - „customer declined repairs“ and „sprayfoam“😅
That guy got a whole days worth workout walking around that jag
That loofa is for old people being swingers. Good lord, I wish I didn't know this but I live in Florida.
1:45 Welp, I guess now it's a Loofrack :D
the calculator got me rofling ahahahahahah
Every time I watch one of these I lose a little more hope for humanity (and am more paranoid knowing people like this are running next to me on the road)
Loofas on the roof or back window started as a symbol for swingers in the Villages in Florida.
I just can't wrap my head around people using spray foam to "fix" things.
I had accelerator get stuck about a year ago in my truck on interstate in bumper to bumper traffic.... got caught under floor mat.... scared me pretty good! But was oem factory mats in my defense
The pink loofah has a meaning...LOL. It was placed with purpose!
