This reminds me of the time I was out in Moab Utah off-roading with my 87 Toyota pickup and broke the passenger frame rail. I ended up limping back to the hotel cut down a small tree in their parking lot used a section of log showed inside the frame railand four rolls of duct tape wrapped around it and drove it like that all the way back to Indiana. Then used the truck for another year hauling firewood around the farm then drove it to the scrap yard.
Guys I shit you not - I saw the thumbnail and literally said out loud "Its GOTTA be either Ed or Chris and man when I finally got home after getting coffee on my day off (AM here) God damn was there a big grin on my face when it cut to him telling the story ;)
I visited St George Island with my "wife at the time" too. We have rent us an RV in Orlando and make a round trip. After arrival in St George i parked the RV an we go to the beach, male some photos, go for a swim and just relaxed for a bite after the 3h drive from Ichetucknee Springs. It was our 4th day with the RV and first RV trip. I decided to open the side door to the living compartment an let her in and go around to start the engine for the AC. Since i opened the side door i put the door lock pin down(lazy guy don´t want the sand in the carpet) and shut the door. I walk around an ask my "wife at the time" why she is standing outside in the sun and not inside in the shower. Well i turned the cheap RV look in the wrong direction and it is still look. The engine and AC is running, the key is inside an we are outside. Someone got made on me... You should call the rental company or a locksmith.....This cost us $$$... Next thing i check are the roof vent, all closed but i was willing to rip one open if i have to. Probably cheaper the make the call for the rental company. Next thing i checked are the sliding windows, all locked but the have the some cheap butterfly locks. Some tappy tap tap later the lock flips open, put the screen away slide the window open an lift my "wife at the time" into the RV. The rest of the vacation we put duc tape on the butterfly locks. She was made on me but couldn't believe how i noticed this crappy design flaw that saved our day and some money too. And we have a good story how i broke into the RV ;)
If this cat and Rabbit and Ed get together there will be no stopping the show. In my mind it will be a Hangoveresque cannonball adventure. We need that movie.
Different tires for the same vehicle! I thought I was the only one that did that. Mines a ‘98 Forester though. I do need some adjustable hight suspension though, maybe airbag it.
I love Chris's stories. Not just because he is so good at telling them, but also because he talks about things that all car guys can relate to. The roadside mishaps and bodges. I once had to bodge my car in a police garage so I could take it away! The copper pulled a face when it worked, it was a mixture of respect and annoyance at not getting a rat off of the road...
They were good guys and would have stayed if I'd asked them, but were pretty nervous to be stuck out there and since they wouldn't be any help with the repair anyway, I gave them some some supplies and sent them on their way to ease their fears, figuring I'd pick them up as I drove out. I didn't take it personally.
It didn't sound like she came up with any solutions or any way to help with the problem but she was very keen to make a statement about it. Makes sense why it was his wife at the time
My father's 01 ram had the same vacuum line puncture. I ended up cutting some washer fluid hose off and just splicing it into the line to fix the 4wd. Works in a pinch. Still under the truck to this day.
I live in Africa, and you need a 4x4 for most roads, and your car ends up with more of these creative solutions than actual parts. We call it African engineering, and it's scope is limitless. You can repair almost anything with a flip flop, some duct tape, and a couple sticks of sugar cane......
Reminds me of being out in the woods. We started down a road, but came across a tree blocking the way. Had a chainsaw, but it refused to work (Thank you California gas) A thunderstorm moved in as we were trying to retrace our steps, and the beginning part of the road became so darn slick, we were not able to make it back up from whence we came. That left the only option of trying to keep going down the road, as the road just did not want to let us go back. I had an old extension cord in the back of my truck, and we were able to loop it several times on itself, and used it to pull the tree enough off the road so we could get by, and out the bottom. You use what you have, and sometimes must think outside the box. (Now for all the people to tell me I need a winch, need to make sure I use fuel stabilizer for my saw, should have tire chains, should not go out unprepared, how bigfoot got their car out for them in the exact situation that I was in...)
I did Hell’S revenge with some Yokohama Geolander A/T GO15. The guy that rented us the Jeeps said they switched from M/T tires. Other than the tries and a three inch lift these jeeps were stock. Tires make all the difference!!
Many years ago my boss and I patched a burst radiator hose with half of the plastic sleeve from a battery powered inspection lamp. When he got home he welded the sleeve back together and kept using the lamp.

-Chris’ wife at the time 2020
Man discovered fire .... women said "your going to burn your self with that stuff" Every time a women has a hot meal.. they are reminded how awful men are .
Reason #135 why she's an ex.
She sounds fun.
She's right free-wheeling hubs and a mechanical shifter on the transfer.
That sounds exactly like my girlfriend... weird..
"These guys were basically in a survival situation at this point and I'm just trying to save $475"
I dont know why this is so hilarious to me,lol
Zero chill guys 🤣🤣🤣... Their imagination gets to them.
Dude it had my dying too i had to re-run that section at least 4 more times 🤣🤣
Suburban yippies. Lol.
Big city people act like that and it’s funny, cause it shows you without their pavement and super stores they ain’t sheet.
He's friends with some real city slickers
Christopher always comes with top notch stories but don’t sleep on the fact he also comes wearing awesome shirts.
The total package

Every few months I have to listen to Chris. This one makes me feel like I'm down the beech. It's late November in pa so that's nice
Christopher is the best story teller on VinWiki!
I love when this guy shows up with another story, always a good story coming from a good story teller.
Chris is by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar the best story teller on the this channel!!!
By far my favorite vinwiki guest
Great video as always. Love how he notes the importance of tires. 👌🙌
This guy is a great story teller. You need to have more of him.
This dude could tell me a story about what he had for breakfast and I would be spellbound!
This dude seems super chill. Be yourself man!!
As soon as I saw the title , I knew it was Christopher Michaels . Awesome story as always !!
Great video! One of my favorite story tellers!
Swear to God this dudes stories are just awesome his detailed accounts have me visualizing everything
Been binging this channel over the weekend and out of an absolute class of great characters this guy is the cream of the crop
Always good to see Chris on stories!
Joe Dirt's Uncle has the best stories.
Another amazing story from Christopher. Love it.
After reading the title, I just knew it would be Christopher...love his stories.
Chris is amazing. Bring more of his stories.
You have The Best stories and tell them so well.
Love starting my morning with this. Thanks Ed and Christopher
Saw a dodge and knew it was a Christopher story.
By far one of the best
That phrase at the end, cherry on the cake.
Chris and Rob I could listen to them to all day
I knew this was gonna be a Christopher story from the title! Brill!
Friends??? Not in my book! Friends should be willing to endure hardship together, not split when the going gets tough!
Exactly, shit bags, wouldnt mind but 10 oclock comes your gonna get dragged out anyway lol

I think my favorite part of all his stories at some point he always says “my wife at the time” 🤣🤣🤣
Great final line there to cap it all off. I love this guy!
Somehow I knew it was going to be a Chris story, love his stories
I could listen to this guy tell me stories all day, what a legend
