My daughter's friend had wanted to hook up a stereo for my daughter & clearly didn't know what he was doing. The speedometer would fluctuate in tune with the music.
6 yrs late, but we're all still watching. Some cars have a speed adjusted volume setting on AC Delco factory stereos to adjust for road noise. Your daughter's friend either reversed the polarity & tied the input from the speedometer to the ground of the stereo, or DIDN'T ground the input from the speedo & caused a feedback loop. Speed adjusting radios/speedometers HAVE to be wired right or you run the risk of burning up either, both, or all wiring in the dash due to feedback.
My worst car was my first car. it was an old Firebird, and the window was held up by a wooden spoon, the air didn't work in the middle of Tennessee summers, and it had no heat. A lot of other stuff was wring with it, when I wanted to stop (because my brakes were shot) I had to put it in reverse, then quickly move a procession of gears to keep from crashing into the person behind Me (or in front of me really). Once, the radio was acting up, and for some reason I was pissed about that more than anything else, so I punched the dashboard. a twenty inch crack spread from steering wheel to passenger seat, and then it sputtered, stalled, then died. my brother, who was in the passenger seat, laughed his ass off and accidentally leaned against the door, which popped open and fling him out onto the gravel. He needed three stitches and still laughed the entire time. To this day I can't believe that actually fucking happened.
+Taylor Duda I bought it from this old guy as soon as I got my license. it only lasted a few months so I didn't have to get new tags (no admissions). So I'm pretty sure it wasn't street legal 😄
I had a similar situation, no air/heat/brakes in the NC heat. People literally waved me down in parking lots wanting to buy it, it was a very popular vehicle, I was always like, Yeah, you should totally get one just not THIS one, trust me..... I would sometimes drive it in 2nd gear so I could coast to a stop and not have to use brakes. My passenger door opened ok but they'ed have to sort of lift it to close it.
My first car was a 85 Monte Carlo. I never could get the doors to open so I would just use the window like the duke boys. Had strings on the windshield wipers, had to unplug the bright lights,back seat caught fire when I finally had a muffler put on. And I could go on for days about the problems. Best damn car I ever had
#MyWorstCar ever was a 2001 Nissan Altima - I had bought it from a guy at church thought he would not do me badly. First day I drove the alternator went out, then it sprung leaks everywhere (oil leaks, water leaks, power steering leaks) all four struts went out at once, then the key quit working (as those keys have to be reprogramed and costly). Then the horn went out. Then when raining hard one day both windshield wiper blades both just flew off. The radiator went out. I was at the lowest point in my life with my Mom sick and me taking care of her and me and never have been so scared in my life to get into a car each time. I would not wish that on my worst enemy.
I had an older Mustang convertible, loved the car but it was falling apart. The convertible top was ripped in the back so every time it rained there would be a pool of water in my car. One night I went to get in my car and a stray cat jumped out of the back of my car and scared the crap out of me. Also one winter the door handles froze and both of them broke off, so I had to open my door with a piece of rope hanging out the window of the car. #MyWorstCar
Damn, I had a good one. My first car was a third hand 97' Pontiac. The trunk was jammed shut from when the previous owner's pet bull rammed the back of the car. During the summer it always smelled musty and I never knew why until I traded it in. The dealership pried the trunk open with a crow bar to find there were three bags of organic fertilizer that got locked in there.
I had a '63 Fairlane when I was 17, and the collar holding the column shifter was cracked. The shifter handle would fall into the floor if you let go of it in 3rd gear. This was not good! Staying in 3rd gear until you could just pull over and hunt for the thing was unacceptable... So, I took to pulling the handle out on purpose & just keeping it in my lap. Time to downshift? Stick it back in and shift normally. 3rd gear? Back in the lap. Plus, I could take it inside with me for theft prevention! (not that anyone wanted it, the car cost me $150! )
My favorite and eventually worst vehicle...takes a deep breath...had holes in the roof along the seal to the windshield and puddles would form in the floorboards, driver side automatic window fell out of its track all the time, both outside door handles fell off, the bench back seat would fold up on people if I hit the brakes too hard, a metal nail file would start the ignition. First car I paid off and I didn’t want to let it go but when someone ran a red light in front of me and I told my friends their first question was “really it’s totaled and your getting a new car?!?” RIP 1991Blazer. Luckily no humans or animals were harmed in the accident. 😂🤣😂
Once my Uncle put the passenger seat back so the dog could sit on it. Then the next day he gave his neighbour a lift and instead of putting the seat up, she just laid there for the whole journey.
I drove an '89 Corsica when I was in high school, and one morning when I made a right turn the entire exhaust system fell out. If you've ever wondered how loud a car would be without a muffler, it's just a little quieter than a jet engine.
I never had a bad car. Some of them were pretty bare bones but those were the most reliable. I owned a 1969 Datsun 620 pickup with no power anything, cost me $1800 in 1992 and drove it for 20 years. By then I'd replaced almost everything on it but it was so simple I did most of it myself. The motor it came with had at least 145,000 on it when it quit (odometer only went to 100,000) and I bought one with 60,000 on it for $300, paid $400 to have it installed and drove it another 14 years before rust got into everything and I had to give her up. I cried.
My worst car was a standard that I had to always find hills to park on , or I could not start it. If I couldn't find an incline I had to forget any plans. It had no reverse. The drivers side door did not open so you always had to crawl through. The drivers side window only rolled down about 4 inches. Not cool when an officer of the law wants to speak to you..
My Subaru Loyale (the last year they made the loyales before they made the outback)... I was pregnant with my 3rd child, had my first 2 in the car with me, when I was driving home from visiting my first niece after she was born. My car died on the highway, the spedometer started going all wonky on me & the car started slowing down. Luckily I was in the far right lane so was able to safely pull over. Luckily for me my brothers ex-wife was driving home behind me & took my kids home while I waited for AAA. She recognized my car from all the bumper stickers I had put on it. #MyWorstCar
Survivor79 that sounds so scary!! I’m terrified of something like that happening to me LOL did you ever figure out why that happened? I’ve had my sisters van stop working for me before while I ran an errand once with tons of kids in it (took them to the park only a few minutes away from their house) and only realized it had ran completely out of gas once I called my sis for car help. She’s like OH sorry yeah I forgot I was out of gas! The little warning ding never went off for me because it had went off for her a while ago LOL. As someone who personally would keep their vehicle tank always at least halfway filled it was very scary for me to lose driving power with all kids! Luckily I was in a small town and it ran out coming right back from the playground so I was able to pull over into a parking spot on the last few drips of gas. I should have realized what the issue was when the car seemed to be losing power but I learned my lesson to always double check! I don’t recall if she had a dim warning light on her dash or if if I just didn’t notice it because it never dinged at me but I know better now! Glad you’re safe and you made it off the highway okay!
Haha! My old car's passenger side door would only open on the outside, so whenever I had someone with me I'd have to get out of the car and go open the door for them. It was always a joke for them to call me their chauffeur. I also had one seat buckle in the back seat that didn't work, because one of the kids I babysat shoved a tic-tac in it and nobody could get it out.
My mom's new '63 Dodge Dart had big 6 inch wide air vents down by your legs. Of course, during the winter they were closed. So on a warm Spring day we thought we'd get a nice breeze. 6 months of accumulated road dust and dead bugs came flying out.
For my 16 birthday my dad gave me his first car as a birthday present, one day I lost the keys somewhere and I couldn't find them, I didn't know what to do so I called my dad and he said "Just use any key, it'll work", I did so, it worked.
My first car had a smoking steering wheel once. The brakes stopped working in rush hour traffic (I got home that day by driving very slowly and putting my whole weight on the brakes so I could get 5-10% braking power). The power steering belt on that same car broke, which meant I didn't have power steering and then the car shut off completely when we were bringing it to a mechanic (my parents refused to let me call for a tow). Now I drive Subarus... had fewer issues in my 24 year old Subaru than in my 10 year old Saturn.
I hit the windshield washer to clean the window & it wouldn't turn off. I even turned off the key & it kept spraying fluid & wipers wiping. I ended up having to pull a fuse to get it to stop. I had another car that wouldn't unlock the doors so I could get out. I ended up flipping the hatchback & having to crawl out that way to get to work. I ended up having to crawl back in the same way unlocking the trunk with my key because the doors wouldn't open from the outside either.
I have a Mazda CX-9 that currently has 185,000 miles on it. It was bought used. There is a noticeable tear in the driver seat. The previous owner installed an aftermarket GPS, so there is no way adjust the car's clock without tearing apart the whole dashboard each time. The rims are so beaten that the tires have to be constantly refilled with air (at least once a week) no matter how new those tires were. Worst of all, the blind spot monitors broke, and I cannot go through any drive-thru because both of the front window motors do not work either.
My parents used to have a car where the wheel bearings were put on backwards. It took at least three repairs for the professional mechanics to notice that. Maybe I should have professional in quotes.
My dad had a dark blue Oldsmobile Cutlass...within a year the driver's side window broke and got stuck about an inch from up. The trunk had the key stuck in it and was held closed with a bungee cord, and the horn worked when it wanted to.
My ex boyfriend had a car that had been dumped in a river and he "saved." It had a gas leak that made you dizzy from the smell, had a 2x4 holding up the drivers window, and the passenger window was plexiglass screwed to the door frame. The best part was the flip up headlights that only flipped up when they wanted to. Or the fact that there was a wire connected from the battery to the tail lights so they'd work. Had to reconnect and disconnect the wires every time we left or got home. Fun times.
My worst car ever was a sky blue 1986 station wagon. The air conditioner was broken, the engine had already been replaced three times, and the conveyor belt broke twice. The engine went into flames one night while I was on my way to a Halloween party. I only had the car for a month and a half by then.
Our car could only be started while rolling downwards. So my dad always parked it at the top of a parking building and pushed it down the ramps, half inside the car. If the engine didnt start, he tried again on the next level xD
My buddy had an ugly blue Reliant K bought for $300, my neighbor wouldent let him park in front of his house, but we spray painted horrible black flames and glued a whole set of army men to his trunk and inside the car and made a war scene....good times
the puff of smoke in steering column is more common that one would think... I was told to let it be that it was more than likely either a piece wearing out or old oil burning off but if nothing happened it was fine, is something stopped working than you knew what was going but until something went not to worry... so yeah I too had the puff... car died before I found out what was wrong that puff of smoke went on for yrs
when my buddy and i repaired his car, we finished it at 2 AM. so we did a test-drive through a village. but the steering wheel wasnt well fitted so at every turning the wheel the horn made tüüt tüüt. it was after midnight! every single person was sleeping. we fell about laughing! xD xD
This Morning When The Plow Guy Came To Plow 0ur Parking Lot With His Pick Up That Has A Plow 0n The Front, He'd Plow A Patch, Then Have To Get 0ut And Fixx 0ne End 0f The Plow Cuz It Came 0ff The Truck. Then Plow Another Patch, Then Get 0ut And Fixx The Plow Cuz It Came Undone. He Did That At LEAST 4 TIMES Before I Yelled 0ut The Window "Just Get It FIXXED!!!"
I so wish I could have gotten in on this back then. When I was a kid, we got this cheap used car. Driving home, I said, "Mom, slow down! I can't see the rocks in the road!" The bondo had fallen out, leaving a gaping hole under my feet! She brought it back the next day.
My worst car was a 1978 Monte Carlo. For some reason it picked the worst place to decide to backfire. I had pulled into a gas station in Protho Junction (An area in North Little Rock, Arkansas well known for its gang activity, hookers, and just bad crime area. I was about out of gas so had no choice but to get gas there). My car backfires really loud. Everyone falls to the ground, and looks around. One man pulled out his gun and yelled, "Where did the shots come from". I was mortified, and horrified at the same time. I apologized and got out of there as quickly as I could.
My parents had a car that part of the floor board was rusted out. On long drives my dad would drive over the white marks on the road so we could pretend they were envelopes and would count them as entertainment...
Had a car where the fan for the A/c would cut out for a couple minutes, when it came back on, steam would come out for about 30 seconds. When it happened with a first date I just said "It'll be over soon." not thinking how creepy it sounded with what she thought was sleeping gas or something. Never saw her again.
My Dad's a mechanic, but that seems to make him think it's ok to give his kids death traps... My sisters first car had a leak in the roof that meant no one could sit in the back, and one day she went to put it in reverse and the gear stick came off in her hand! She phoned my Dad and he was like "Are you sure it's broken?" And she said "Well I'm standing 4ft from the car with the gear stick in my hand... so....yes."
My driver side door wouldn't open from inside someone had to open it from outside or i had to get out from another door... and all my powered windows don't work.. one evening i was driving home and i was hungry as hell...went into McDonald's Drive thru.. and i realized that i Couldn't order sitting in ... i had to order it peeping out of my Sun roof.... #WorstCar
My dad had a 79 Ford Fairmont that was so old it had holes in the floor we could see the pavement through the fabric in the headboard was stapled up and not all the doors would open so you could only get in on one side in the back. Also he would cut it off going down the highway and pump the gas then crank it back up and make it backfire to scare crows in the field. .....yeah.....good times. LOL
The driver’s seat plastic cover on the left side got broken after an accident, an unremovable sharp fiber piece kept hanging out. Every time I get out, I rip my clothes, every time I get in, I get stabbed. Nothing deep though, just bruises. 😆
The door of my sisters hot pink monte carlo fell off going down the road. So I had to hold it on from the back seat all the way back to her apartment. What a riot
I bought my first car, used. It didn't have a fuel cap so I bought one. Quickly realized I couldn't put gas in my car. Within 2 seconds of fueling at a gas station gas would spit back at me. When I went to a mechanic they found spider eggs blocking the entrance to my fuel tank.
Kristen Wakefiej WHAAAT oh my god.... like actual spider egg sacs? You’d need a ton of them to block it I’d imagine... I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. Did you get them taken care of before any gasoline drenched baby spiders came at you? *shudders*
I miss the old #myworstcar video. I know it was Late Night instead of Tonight Show but that singing was hilarious! The world is big enough for both, Jimmy. Give it back!!
One of my dad's first cars when I was young was actually two cars. He discovered while working on it that the metal frame was from two different cars- the front of one and the back of another. So all the used car place had done after welding everything was give the car a fresh coat of paint so it wouldn't look like two cars stuck together.
I bought an used expedition, with air shocks, well the driver side shocks were broke, so every time you started the car the right side will be significantly highter, then the left. Every red light someone would pull up to tell me "Hey do you know your truck is leaning?" I would reply "His name is Dean, Dean with the lean. " and drive off.
My sunroof was stuck open, so if it was raining or snowing outside (and my car wasn't under the carport) then everything would get soaked. Once my neighbor's cat got in it and "marked his territory" all over the seats. No amount of detailing could get that smell out.
My first car, the drivers door wouldn't close so I attached bungee cords. When ever I turned right, I had to lift my knee to put more tention on the the bungee cords and not let the door swing open. Drove like that for 2 years.
When I would start my car in the morning, the neighbors would call the fire department because it smoked so bad they thought it was on fire. #MyWorstCar
The first car I drove was used by my dad for YEARS so by the time that I got to it, it had the fart smell engrained into the seats and would make me gag every time I got in. The car also had only 2 doors that worked, one outside handle that kept falling off, the radio was busted, the battery would run out every few months, and you could never use the cruise control because it thought the emergency brake was on all the time.....which it wasn't..... The next car I had to drive died on me after 15 minutes of driving. The shortest relationship I had ever had with a vehicle. Of course, my parents fixed it up and gave it back to me within 2 weeks. About a year ago the power steering went out on me. To the point where I was pouring a large amount of fluid into the car MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY SINGLE DAY and my arms were actually sore from trying to get the car to turn.
I had a car that would randomly shut down on me on the highway and I would have to switch to neutral and restart it while my car was still rolling at 50mph #myworstcar
Had an old Fiat that would do that in the winter, only you had to pull over and wait 5 min. before restart. Turned out you had to rotate the air intake/cover on the filter twice a year, to the winter or summer positions. The engine would stall if freezing air hit the carburetor. Nearly went nuts on that one. There was a one-sentence mention buried in the owner's manual. It's good to be a reader.
My best friend’s first car was the worse. Whenever it rained, the passenger side would flood. And when it snowed, and you turned on the heat, it would blow snow at you.
It was more of a prank but on my friends birthday we rewired his truck so when he honked the horn his hazard lights came on and his alarm would go off... it was to funny bc he has road rage...
My friends van was missing seats so I had to sit on a plastic stool when I rode with him.
Yoooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How was that road legal?! 😂

But hey, it was a firebird. Even if it was absolutely crap, it was absolutely CLASSIC crap.
That is funny AF!!!!

Our old minivan had broken wipers, so we pulled them outwards and put mittens on them so it looked like they were waving.
Warrior Girl Same here accept we used gloves so we could give everybody the middle finger driving around 😂
Did anyone else hear that one lady laughing at his every joke?
I literally started looking through the comments just to see if anyone else picked up on it.
me too guys she had a laugh like a witch 😂😂
Yep very annoying
Yes 😂😂😂 her laugh is so funny
Great so i’m not the only one
we already know that within 20 minutes, it was a worldwide trending topic

Sometimes it is only a trending topic in the US

Yess...but still they announce it everytime..🤮
So great like always. LOL and the band is always ready to make it even better

this is my favorite segment of the show! my tweet must be on it before i die
These always brings me joy!
I used to have to scrape the INSIDE of my windows in the winter.
Mel M me too!
Been there, ha!
Still have to do that. Damn that Mother Nature 😜
That's not due to the car but where you lived
Ditto
Binge watching this on October 28, 2020.
Thank goodness for hashtags taking my mind off of Covid.
this is my 10th nonstop video of hashtags, and i'm geting pissed off cuz jimmy always starts with "you're on twitter right?"
Yesssss
You're on Twitter, right? Everyone? Are you on Twitter? It's fun.
That's why in the new ones they cut those out

My first car didn't have air conditioning. One summer I got out of a speeding ticket by telling the cop I had to get home or get heatstroke.
I had a car that the lights were held in with pork chop bones.. lol.
The car I drive currently shakes uncontrollably once I go above 50. 👍👍👍
Damn, I had a good one.

Every time we went over a bump the wipers would start.

My current car got broken into. The theft alarm went off, but not until 30 minutes after I caught the kids who broke into it. #myworstcar

I binge them whenever I can't sleep.
ZAYWOP you're not alone, it's like crack. Can I have another hit?
My mom's new '63 Dodge Dart had big 6 inch wide air vents down by your legs.
Of course, during the winter they were closed.
So on a warm Spring day we thought we'd get a nice breeze.
6 months of accumulated road dust and dead bugs came flying out.
lmao... nice
Lmfao, I'm sorry that happened.
you know Fallon got a discount for showing a new truck on national TV. And Higgins even mentions the brand of the truck!
That lady in the background was having a great time!
For my 16 birthday my dad gave me his first car as a birthday present, one day I lost the keys somewhere and I couldn't find them, I didn't know what to do so I called my dad and he said "Just use any key, it'll work", I did so, it worked.
My first car had a smoking steering wheel once. The brakes stopped working in rush hour traffic (I got home that day by driving very slowly and putting my whole weight on the brakes so I could get 5-10% braking power). The power steering belt on that same car broke, which meant I didn't have power steering and then the car shut off completely when we were bringing it to a mechanic (my parents refused to let me call for a tow). Now I drive Subarus... had fewer issues in my 24 year old Subaru than in my 10 year old Saturn.
I hit the windshield washer to clean the window & it wouldn't turn off. I even turned off the key & it kept spraying fluid & wipers wiping. I ended up having to pull a fuse to get it to stop. I had another car that wouldn't unlock the doors so I could get out. I ended up flipping the hatchback & having to crawl out that way to get to work. I ended up having to crawl back in the same way unlocking the trunk with my key because the doors wouldn't open from the outside either.
I have a Mazda CX-9 that currently has 185,000 miles on it. It was bought used. There is a noticeable tear in the driver seat. The previous owner installed an aftermarket GPS, so there is no way adjust the car's clock without tearing apart the whole dashboard each time. The rims are so beaten that the tires have to be constantly refilled with air (at least once a week) no matter how new those tires were. Worst of all, the blind spot monitors broke, and I cannot go through any drive-thru because both of the front window motors do not work either.
My parents used to have a car where the wheel bearings were put on backwards. It took at least three repairs for the professional mechanics to notice that. Maybe I should have professional in quotes.
my first car whenever I went over railroad tracks or a big pothole I'd have to hold the drivers side door closed or it would fly open.
I had to hold my rear view mirror or it would fall off.
My dad had a dark blue Oldsmobile Cutlass...within a year the driver's side window broke and got stuck about an inch from up. The trunk had the key stuck in it and was held closed with a bungee cord, and the horn worked when it wanted to.
My ex boyfriend had a car that had been dumped in a river and he "saved." It had a gas leak that made you dizzy from the smell, had a 2x4 holding up the drivers window, and the passenger window was plexiglass screwed to the door frame. The best part was the flip up headlights that only flipped up when they wanted to. Or the fact that there was a wire connected from the battery to the tail lights so they'd work. Had to reconnect and disconnect the wires every time we left or got home. Fun times.
My worst car ever was a sky blue 1986 station wagon. The air conditioner was broken, the engine had already been replaced three times, and the conveyor belt broke twice. The engine went into flames one night while I was on my way to a Halloween party. I only had the car for a month and a half by then.
I had a Mini Cooper and it literally locked me inside. I felt like i was on the movie Christine.
Our car could only be started while rolling downwards. So my dad always parked it at the top of a parking building and pushed it down the ramps, half inside the car. If the engine didnt start, he tried again on the next level xD
My buddy had an ugly blue Reliant K bought for $300, my neighbor wouldent let him park in front of his house, but we spray painted horrible black flames and glued a whole set of army men to his trunk and inside the car and made a war scene....good times
Just got a text saying I almost used up all my data..... thanks Jimmy and your endless playlist of hashtags....
I'm not the only one who has that feature thank goodness! (Try working 40 hrs a week at a place without WiFi)
The window/door at the back started smoking right in the middle of nowhere and we all got out thinking the car will explode..
I was stuck in a Humvee in a ditch during a simalation army cadet gun fight. I couldn't get out.
that one with tail of smoke coming from my steering wheel happend to me too hahah
the puff of smoke in steering column is more common that one would think... I was told to let it be that it was more than likely either a piece wearing out or old oil burning off but if nothing happened it was fine, is something stopped working than you knew what was going but until something went not to worry... so yeah I too had the puff... car died before I found out what was wrong that puff of smoke went on for yrs
when my buddy and i repaired his car, we finished it at 2 AM. so we did a test-drive through a village. but the steering wheel wasnt well fitted so at every turning the wheel the horn made tüüt tüüt. it was after midnight! every single person was sleeping. we fell about laughing! xD xD
LOL my FJ40's radiator and front grill were clogged up by a squirrel's nest & the glove compartment pops open on bumps as well.
My friend lives in Chicago and at one point, her door lock broke, so her husband soldered a padlock latch onto the outside.
Exayevie that’s fucking genius lol
This Morning When The Plow Guy Came To Plow 0ur Parking Lot With His Pick Up That Has A Plow 0n The Front, He'd Plow A Patch, Then Have To Get 0ut And Fixx 0ne End 0f The Plow Cuz It Came 0ff The Truck. Then Plow Another Patch, Then Get 0ut And Fixx The Plow Cuz It Came Undone. He Did That At LEAST 4 TIMES Before I Yelled 0ut The Window "Just Get It FIXXED!!!"
I so wish I could have gotten in on this back then. When I was a kid, we got this cheap used car. Driving home, I said, "Mom, slow down! I can't see the rocks in the road!" The bondo had fallen out, leaving a gaping hole under my feet! She brought it back the next day.
My worst car was a 1978 Monte Carlo. For some reason it picked the worst place to decide to backfire. I had pulled into a gas station in Protho Junction (An area in North Little Rock, Arkansas well known for its gang activity, hookers, and just bad crime area. I was about out of gas so had no choice but to get gas there). My car backfires really loud. Everyone falls to the ground, and looks around. One man pulled out his gun and yelled, "Where did the shots come from". I was mortified, and horrified at the same time. I apologized and got out of there as quickly as I could.
My parents had a car that part of the floor board was rusted out. On long drives my dad would drive over the white marks on the road so we could pretend they were envelopes and would count them as entertainment...
Man, does Jimmy love his Ford. Rob Ford that is. lol
My car alarm malfunctioned once while I was driving and my engine cut off and my alarm started blaring in the middle of the road in rush hour traffic!
Had a car where the fan for the A/c would cut out for a couple minutes, when it came back on, steam would come out for about 30 seconds.
When it happened with a first date I just said "It'll be over soon." not thinking how creepy it sounded with what she thought was sleeping gas or something. Never saw her again.
Jared Herring oh my goodness that is hilarious.
My Dad's a mechanic, but that seems to make him think it's ok to give his kids death traps... My sisters first car had a leak in the roof that meant no one could sit in the back, and one day she went to put it in reverse and the gear stick came off in her hand! She phoned my Dad and he was like "Are you sure it's broken?" And she said "Well I'm standing 4ft from the car with the gear stick in my hand... so....yes."
😂 My mom had a car once and was going to a family dinner. She had to brig cabbage and she spilled it in the seat and couldn't get the smell out.
My driver side door wouldn't open from inside someone had to open it from outside or i had to get out from another door... and all my powered windows don't work.. one evening i was driving home and i was hungry as hell...went into McDonald's Drive thru.. and i realized that i Couldn't order sitting in ... i had to order it peeping out of my Sun roof.... #WorstCar
Did anyone else hear that one lady laughing at his every joke?
My dad had a 79 Ford Fairmont that was so old it had holes in the floor we could see the pavement through the fabric in the headboard was stapled up and not all the doors would open so you could only get in on one side in the back. Also he would cut it off going down the highway and pump the gas then crank it back up and make it backfire to scare crows in the field. .....yeah.....good times. LOL
I once drove across three states in a car held together by duct tape. Duct tape is amazing stuff!
Every time I watch these videos and he asks the audience if they are on Twitter, I want to be in the audience and yell NO!!!
I'm supposed to be studying... lost in endlessly loading hashtag pages!
The driver’s seat plastic cover on the left side got broken after an accident, an unremovable sharp fiber piece kept hanging out. Every time I get out, I rip my clothes, every time I get in, I get stabbed. Nothing deep though, just bruises. 😆
The door of my sisters hot pink monte carlo fell off going down the road. So I had to hold it on from the back seat all the way back to her apartment. What a riot
I bought my first car, used. It didn't have a fuel cap so I bought one. Quickly realized I couldn't put gas in my car. Within 2 seconds of fueling at a gas station gas would spit back at me. When I went to a mechanic they found spider eggs blocking the entrance to my fuel tank.
Kristen Wakefiej WHAAAT oh my god.... like actual spider egg sacs? You’d need a ton of them to block it I’d imagine... I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. Did you get them taken care of before any gasoline drenched baby spiders came at you? *shudders*
I miss the old #myworstcar video. I know it was Late Night instead of Tonight Show but that singing was hilarious! The world is big enough for both, Jimmy. Give it back!!
I agree, that's my favorite one
Did they deleted that video? Because I can't find it. 😕
Did they delete it?
Hashtags: #WorstCarIEverHad It's not deleted
2:46 is my favorite moment of all hashtag videos. And believe me, I've binge watched them at least three times. Jimmy you are hilarious.
Not that good of a moment tbh
One of my dad's first cars when I was young was actually two cars. He discovered while working on it that the metal frame was from two different cars- the front of one and the back of another. So all the used car place had done after welding everything was give the car a fresh coat of paint so it wouldn't look like two cars stuck together.
I bought an used expedition, with air shocks, well the driver side shocks were broke, so every time you started the car the right side will be significantly highter, then the left. Every red light someone would pull up to tell me "Hey do you know your truck is leaning?" I would reply "His name is Dean, Dean with the lean. " and drive off.
My sunroof was stuck open, so if it was raining or snowing outside (and my car wasn't under the carport) then everything would get soaked. Once my neighbor's cat got in it and "marked his territory" all over the seats. No amount of detailing could get that smell out.
My dad had a car with a tree growing out of the floorpan
Smoke came out of my first cars steering wheel too! I thought I was the only one!
I had a Vega ( : ( ) that billowed smoke from the dashboard every time the engine blew. I had to start dating my mechanic.
My first car, the drivers door wouldn't close so I attached bungee cords. When ever I turned right, I had to lift my knee to put more tention on the the bungee cords and not let the door swing open. Drove like that for 2 years.
When I would start my car in the morning, the neighbors would call the fire department because it smoked so bad they thought it was on fire. #MyWorstCar
I like the old hashtag song. Bring it back please :)
The first car I drove was used by my dad for YEARS so by the time that I got to it, it had the fart smell engrained into the seats and would make me gag every time I got in. The car also had only 2 doors that worked, one outside handle that kept falling off, the radio was busted, the battery would run out every few months, and you could never use the cruise control because it thought the emergency brake was on all the time.....which it wasn't.....
The next car I had to drive died on me after 15 minutes of driving. The shortest relationship I had ever had with a vehicle. Of course, my parents fixed it up and gave it back to me within 2 weeks. About a year ago the power steering went out on me. To the point where I was pouring a large amount of fluid into the car MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY SINGLE DAY and my arms were actually sore from trying to get the car to turn.
Ford F150.... I approve! :D
Jimmy Fallon asked you for your #MyWorstCar tweets, and you (seriously) delivered!
WATCH: Hashtags: #MyWorstCar
hILARIOUS
Great
The Late Night version also hilarious!...couldn't find it online :( Can you post a link here? 10x
I do uot
Very funny
My windows only work when they feel like it, my speedometer is off, and my hood will threaten to open after I've driven for a while.
I had a car that would randomly shut down on me on the highway and I would have to switch to neutral and restart it while my car was still rolling at 50mph #myworstcar
Was this a Ford Focus? Because apparently this is happening to them.
Had an old Fiat that would do that in the winter, only you had to pull over and wait 5 min. before restart.
Turned out you had to rotate the air intake/cover on the filter twice a year, to the winter or summer positions. The engine would stall if freezing air hit the carburetor.
Nearly went nuts on that one. There was a one-sentence mention buried in the owner's manual. It's good to be a reader.
I always wondered how car fires start. Now I know.
My best friend’s first car was the worse. Whenever it rained, the passenger side would flood. And when it snowed, and you turned on the heat, it would blow snow at you.
Ashton Hanks I’m sorry but that is hilarious 😂
The heating system pumped exhaust fumes into the car, so if I ran the heat, I'd have to crack the windows. #MyWorstCar
My car's passenger door handle had to be tied to the seat because it would open randomly.
lmao im convicned they all smoke a blunt before the show i love it lmao!
Watching this reminded me to order an air filter. Thanks Jimmy.
It was more of a prank but on my friends birthday we rewired his truck so when he honked the horn his hazard lights came on and his alarm would go off... it was to funny bc he has road rage...
My mom’s car would gun forward every time you turned on the AC
