Wizard: "It tastes like mothballs!" So not only did he taste the Flex Seal, he has also tasted mothballs at some point in the past. Wizard has weird hobbies.
Yes he sure does
Underated
Well, that is the key to gaining knowledge. Curiousity.
Imma call it natural selection....
Underrated
Opportunities for improvement:
The Wizard needs:
1) His own microphone
2) A LED light with a diffuser lens to provide even illumination instead of a brilliant spot.
@@andydufresne8034 I think it's pretty lame considering the success of his channel. But I guess when we're getting entertaining content for free our opinions may not matter much. Getting a decent light - instead of that stupid penlight - is chump change, though.
Instead of using a diffuser lense on an led you can just grab an old light, and paint the chrome reflector white. It’s makes a nice even light with no bright spots.
Yes...thank you!
whoooooo caresssssss

Keep production cost low so anyone can compete here on youtube. We dont need "unfair competion" due to economic inequality
No joke, the sewage pipe under the toilet on my main floor got a rather large stress crack in it and I sprayed it with a half a can of flex seal and I was down in the crawl space a year later and it hasn't leaked any poo or pee water. Not a drop!
I used it for the same exact purpose lmao
that's because it isn't under pressure. Sewage is gravity fed. (1" over 48" fyi).
My hot water heater would be pouring water all over my basement floor if not for flex seal.
No shit? Pun intended 😁
@Jbog07 it's been on there for 3 years now, never had a problem.
This puts the “dumbest automotive channel on TH-cam” to status CONFIRMED
Laughing all the way to bank!
Huh?
Hoovie Garage = Dumbest automotive channel on TH-cam
Scotty Kilmer = Smartest automotive channel on TH-cam
I'd argue it's either Dummtüch or Maeximiliano.
Hoovies car choices are reasonable compared to these guys...
I can’t believe Hoovie sold the blue Lambo and kept this dumpster fire
😆
I still can’t believe it’s not butter
Fails get more views. Nobody watches and shares the "Fully sorted, great condition" vids, it's the proper hoopties that get the likes.
More videos, rare car and guilt free driving. The Gallardo was just too nice for Hoovie. Also he got to own it for an year basically free of charge
Wouldn't be the "dumbest automotive channel on TH-cam" if he made good decisions everytime
5:36 I had a leaking transmission from a small crack in the housing once and I took a carbide bit in a grinder to grind a 'V' in the crack, clean the metal up really well, and then JB weld. Typically there isn't any pressure on these kind of leaks, and those go away fairly easily with cold weld epoxy.
Thanks for curing me of ever considering buying a used Lambo.
You can still buy a cheap Lambo, just don't let the wizard anywhere near it. This has been one balls-up after another.
Not sure how any of this is the Wizard’s fault?
@@peterdelamare that shitty JB weld fix is his, regardless
But wait! I think that was the intended result, it just went over your head.
LOL JK I’ve never considered it!
I have never seen such a jury-rigged, shade-tree mechanic, ghetto repair on a Lambo.... I LOVE it!
Ed Bolian just threw up due to laughing too hard. He's been laughing since he cashed his commission cheque.
“We’ll give Maaco a chance at redemption.” Famous last words.
uh oh...better get Maaco!
This summer I bought a 78 15' camper. The guy I bought it off of told me that it had a leaky roof. I asked him if he tried to fix it. He told me he just parked it on an angle and the water would just roll off and so he didn't have a problem with it. I bought 4 cans of white Flex seal and I went over all the seams on the roof. I sprayed and let dry and did 4 coats. Then I painted the whole roof with roof paint. The Next week I was camping at East Harbor State Park, near Sandusky Ohio and extreme thunderstorms rolled in. The trailer was flat and plumb and not one leak. Thanks Flex seal and Tractor Supply RV Roof Paint!!!
Hoover, just remember, you sold a pristine gated transmission Gallardo for this piece of crap that your using crack sealant to repair
This really is 0:01 lol
Because there are several times more Gallardos than Muricelagos. In ten years time or so, it's the Murci that will fetch a premium and be considered a classic. Love it or hate it, the V12 is unique. As good as the V10 in the Gallardo sounds, it just isn't that special in comparison

The Lamborghini Fanboys were rolling on the ground and foaming at the mouth when he said Flex Seal and Macco !
Good.
They stopped watching after the wizard drilled several ugly holes in the carbon fiber transmission tunnel.
Samcrac got hard reading the headline
On that image in my mind, I can sleep soooo well
I think Ferrari fanboys would have done that. Lambo fanboys don’t care that much lol.
Why didnt you take the cover from the old transmission that wasn't cracked?
Idk makes no sense
because views
The same reason why he drilled hole in the car... didn’t want to take whole engine and transmision out of the car 🙄
The painters had the whole bumper to use as color match. Not sure how the hood will help them this time...
Oh it will help them...as they will paint the hood to match the bumper then say see it matches now. 😂😂
Because there's nothing left on the bumper that's the original color. The idiot's should've noticed how different it was though. I'd cut my losses and go to a real paint shop
lol true
@K05 T4R They had the whole bumper in the right color when they started.
file that with "all I need to know about you"
On the next episode: Why I had to let my daughter pick out a whole new color for my "cheap" Lamborghini
Don’t worry, this is how we fix cars in the future.
"Looks like a fire in there..." Tavarish just fainted, and Hoovie had a Ferrari Flashback!
Wizard needs to Flex Tape his yacht back together next
Lol
thats a lotta damage
Not happening
Funny how they can laugh at the their massive failure at installing a cracked transmission!! Epic fail on the Lambo salvage yard and the Wizard for not inspecting a transmission out of a totaled car 🤣
They have probably made more money on the videos than they paid for the car, so win win (maybe?)
@@MurderMostFowl Possibly but still, inspecting used parts especially for a Lambo that involve that much labor and time is a must!!
The stress crack may have occurred when the vehicle was in operation, not when it was initially being pulled at the junkyard or installed at the shop.
"This is not the Wizard's idea".... "Its a brilliant idea"...
😂
Public no liability declaration. Smart man.
So glad you kept this one. Way cooler of a car!
Next episode: "Maaco screwed up... time for Plasti Dip"
I spray painted a Porsche bumper in my garage, feel like I outdid anything maaco could do 🤣
Perfect for the Italian Hooptie. Does Italy make any reliable cars? lol
sorry Wizard, that epoxy job was atrocious.
Rowan Streeter I think that was the intended result.
Who cares? It was a salvage trans that already had damage and looks like shit, and literally no one will ever look at it unless they're buying the car from Tyler, which if they are they likely already know his videos on the car.
THIS WAS CLEARLY A JOB FOR JB WELD
Clearly
What I would have used.
Oplefire M my dad fixed his crankshaft which had slipped the key and had a massive gouge with J.B. weld back in 1992. The shaft key wouldn’t stay in position due to the gouge and the previous owner thought the engine was a total loss. It was his primary work truck for over 20 years after he glued it. Was still holding when he sold in a few years ago!
I once completely cracked the oil pan on my Firebird on a speed bump. All the oil drained out. I cleaned it really well, then patched it with JB Weld to get me home. It worked so well I never bothered to replace the pan, and neither did the guy I sold the car to.
@@gpzjeffrey7974 Exactly. My buddies drift car was seeping oil from a crack in the pan, he smeared some on without cleaning and presto. Fixed.
1:14 Tyler: I'm going to do a hooptie treatment on my most expensive car!...... SLS AMG: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
Looks like you sold the wrong lambo haha
We told him to sell this one!
Rhein Buskirk
Ikr. The gated manual was special.
You can't make many videos on a perfect reliable car
@@sideswipe604 Came here to say this. Murci is way better for content.
It doesn't really matter that this one is slightly broken, because the fact that it is broken allows him to make videos which provide revenue to make it better. Also, he must genuinely prefer it, win win for hoovie
The intro is a swipe at Scotty Kilmer right.. or am i the only one hearing that 10-pack-a-day throaty voice.
Poor Hoovie, his mental sanity is clearly slipping. Prayers for him!
LED's, some Flex Seal and PRESTO!!!!! you now own a genuine Hoovie Hoopty!!!!!! (Lambo edition)
This video was painful to watch. This is why you should've kept the gallardo
And post a video every year "Gallardo is still absolutely fine, just got new brake pads at the Audi Dealer for 99.95."
Great business case for "the dumbest automotive channel on youtube"TM
;)
@@YensR the man has a FLEET of cars for that purpose lmao. I want to see him in something that isn't gonna die on him or eat his wallet alive for once 🤣. Plus a 6 speed lambo is just too good.
@shaun fair enough
Hey Hoovie, I have a personal experience with Flex Seal on A/C drip pan. It didn’t seal my plastic drip pan. Ended up replacing the drip pan.
But... JB weld stick seal did seal off the refrigeration line that I cracked when removing the broken drip tray for over a year with 300 PSI refrigerant pressure!
The odds of anyone color matching the bumper without the car on site are astronomical.
“It’s just this little crack here. It doesn’t go around the whole housing...yet.” There Wizard, I fixed something for you. 😎
Jesus, Wizard went HAM with that epoxy.
Everyone: Sell the creamsicle!
Hoovie: Sells the cool, perfect shape, low mileage, gated manual gallardo
Also Hoovie: look, the creamsicle is broken!
Flex Seal and Maaco. What could go wrong?!
AAmco for the transmission
I've used a similar product on my old aluminum boat, but its actually for aluminum boats. It was leaking around the rivets/joints just a wee bit, put that stuff on about once a year in the spring, no more leaks. The boat itself is a family heirloom, its just a basic u shaped aluminum boat that my grandpa bought in the early 1950's from Sears for probably $100. Still have the trailer and 5hp green 2 cycle Johnson outboard motor. Use it to go fishing on a couple small lakes around here for bass, bluegills and catfish, just run an electric trolling motor on it.
Will the Lamborghini float after enough flex seal?
Only if you cut it in half and use Flex Tape
Can a money pit float? Duh, nevermind and yes they can, it’s called a boat.
It looks like it should float.
the only real "flex" in this video is taking a Murcielago front bumper to get painted in your Bentley
"Look at me.. Im a Lamborghini mechanic!!!" that part made me spill my beer :P
OMG This is so funny and reminds me of those dudes on Trailer Park Boys. Bubbles is the mechanic. Hoovie just needs a glass of rum & Coke and it's a shoe in for one of their episodes. Hilarious!
"This orange is impossible to match." Professional painters: 🤨
*MAACO painters lol
Still super hard.. even more so not wanting to paint the fenders etc.. A professional painter would want to paint a lot more then just the bumper to get it to all blend and match well.
Because it's not just an orange, it's a kind of shimmering orange.
The car is 15 years old. Even rhe factory paint code may not match
@@chickensfloat7427 good painters have a device that will color match
I have an above ground grease trap at my cafe. It's a hard plastic. Got a stress crack on bottom. I used flex seal and it was good for a year. I than took it apart and fiberglassed the inside and outside and no leaks at all.
*Wizard adds another chemical to his notification list*
i love whats your doing with this. give maco a chance. even if they srew it up its totally worth the youtube hits
Short of welding I would drill along the fracture just deep enough to make a key for JBWeld or liquid metal as it would both seal and strengthen the crack. Flex seal will probably peel off due to heat and oil.
yeah, I haven't done it but many say you have to stop the crack from continuing on plastic and aluminum by releasing the stress by drilling a hole at the end of the crack.
Yup, best fix without removal would be to drill the ends of the crack. Then grind out the crack some and roughen the surface round the crack, then apply something like JB Weld.
snek kinda crazy cuz you would think it’s common sense if you’re down to repair things
I would have drilled an extremely small hole at either end of the crack to prevent further expansion, then seal it with good old JB.
I exoected this kind of repairs on a 90's or 2000's shitbox done in a garage by two best buddies, not on a expensive Lamborghini, gotta love Hoovie! Hahaha
I''ll be LMFAO when they "accidentally" also paint the bonnet XP
As Sarah N Tuned can attest, yes its always better to bring a piece of the vehicle for colour matching. We just had a similar experience with Napa, trying to match the Grey Stone on the bottom 2 tone section of my dad's Ram. Welded in new rocker panels, and the the colour match was a tad off, not horrible, but not as close as we'd like
Next video: I just saw this Lamborghini In half
and drives it into a lake "pretty sure thats a lambo dude"
😂x^
It will split in half eventually after they made holes in the carbon fiber tub
@@baselhs nah
That's a lot of damage!
Lovely Jubbly matey. As for the paint job, there are just no words to describe it. 🤔
Every time hoovie goes *"oh yeah"* I cant stop doing a koolaid man impression as response
It sounds more like Kevin from “the office” when he eats a candy bar while they are playing the silence game.
Nice video. On the power steering rack leak...you might try some Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak. My daughter's 2003 Honda Civic developed a slight drip like yours. We changed the power steering fluid and at same time added 12 ounces of Lucas. That was about 11 months ago. The leak stopped and haven't had to add any power steering fluid since.
To all the people saying "He should have kept the Gallardo" you can't make many entertaining videos on a perfect reliable car. Also, while the gated manual Gallardo was great, it's not as cool as a bright orange V12 Murci
You should use JB Weld...as it can manage heat better and you can heat up the location to allow for the crack to open and place the JB Weld right into the crack as much as possible.
Clearly did not watch the video... where that's exactly what they did.
Man-it’s too bad you didn’t have another transmission with a good case...
Too bad you would have to take whole engine and transmision out of the car to do that
@@xiukn8 yeah, it’s too bad they didn’t have the transmission out and could have fixed it before it went in.
That FlexSeal guy is making soooo much money!!! He hit the jackpot! Just like that Jack Black/Ben Stiller movie with the “VapooRize” that would eliminate dog poop!
Good for him and his screen door row boat!
Gorilla Grip adhesive commercial during the episode....must be a subliminal message for next Trans repair
The one time Flex Seal has filed, aww man.
Also, the Car Wizard, aka "The Man who Tastes everything!" Now Humanity knows what Flex Seal Tastes like! The answer is 'Mothballs'!
God damn it, I almost fell out of my chair from Laughing.
He pulled a Samcrac
Look in the reflection of the car... The Car Wizard magically materializes and disappears @1:21 lol
I don't know why but Hoovie sound a bit like shaggy trying to sell me flex seal.
Perfectly running sorted cars does not make for an entertaining youtube channel.
I love how Hoovie and Wizzard are coming around to the correct terminology and calling it a "bonnet" instead of a "hood"
At this point, Tyler is actively trying to lose money on his cars.
Rob Wallcheck put his boat back together and it worked. I was hoping he would put them in “The Hall of Shame.” Very funny........
Cue the "THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE" memes
I have used FlexSeal on my vapor barriers on my car and it worked. Saved me so much money.
Flex Seal on a car transmission?! Now I’ve seen everything. 😂😂
Not just a mere car transmission...a LAMBO transmission!
Which was completely pointless. 🤦🏾♂️
Trying didn't kill hoovie!
Have you seen fixing cracked phone screen with toothpaste? This is the samy type of video.
I have used two part soild jb weld. it comes as a stick with a center part. It's like paydoh. Stopped my leaking gas tank. Was leaking when I installed it on. Last for years even after I sold it.
Next up. I’m using a rattle can from Wal-Matt to paint a Lambo bumper 🤣🤣🤣
Now that's a lotta damage!
You ate underrated my friend. Good clean content for all.
Who went straight to the comments to tell him that he should’ve kept the Gallardo and sold the mercy
He was a used car dealer, but he seems to have left those days behind. Selling a Lambo with a cracked transmission wouldn't do much for his Carsandbids sidejob.
Reliable cars don't make for good videos sadly. So here we are watching him flex seal a Lamborghini.
The Gallardo was too nice to make any good content..
This is by far the most hilarious video of your channel
When you shoot colours like that you have to blend them over a larger area.
Flex Seal and Maaco in one video. Winning combo at least for a Hoovie video.
"It tastes like MOTHBALLS!"
I wonder if the moth enjoyed it.
Nothing but the best of ideas here!!!
Unfortunately that will keep growing due to the stresses at the end of the crack. :(
The transmission itself will also wear out someday so it's really all about prolonging
Yeah, he should pay a welder to come out and mig that in place. Probably take longer to get there than to weld it.
Not if the Wizard knew to drill it first. He made no mention of it but he's a smart guy.
@@snek9353 Yep drill some stress relief holes at the ends. Who knows what you'll hit behind the casing or where the swarf will end up! Haha. He should totally try it and see what happens. ;)
@@muskokamike127 The heat from welding it will likely damage the internals of the transmission. Heck the pre-heating required alone on the case would toast the transmissions fluid.
High temp jb weld would work great. I used it many many years ago to fix a hole in my 1987 accord lx-I trans. It held very very well
I just noticed congrats hoovie still remember the videos with the s600 the bentlys and one of my favorite the $200 es300
Good lord he sold his Gallardo and kept the money pit.
You can't make good content off a car that is perfect.
LMAO wizard pretty much rolling his eyes when hoovie going on about so much more...
Now: “I have a crap Lamborghini!”
In 45+ years: “ I bought a salvaged Tuatara!”
Thing about stress cracks in cast aluminium is that they travel and progress over time with vibrations and bumps etc, especially in a vehicle. Best thing would'a been was to clean / tig weld that little spot and heat shield the surroundings to avoid damage. We used to do it on engine blocks and heads.
Why not just weld the crack 🤦🏻♂️
Can't be welded in the car.
snek yes it can. There doing hack work for TH-cam.
Nobody’s gonna wanna buy this pos car
FishFind3000 as long as it drives someone’s always gonna buy a Lamborghini you idiot.
They'll need to drain the fluid and have a clean surface to weld. That may mean removing the transmission. Aluminum is nearly impossible to weld if there is any residual oil
Hoovie your Phil Swift impersonation was spot on.
I think the original 'pearl orange' is very A-peeling.
Flex Seal and Maaco on a Lambo... LOL! Hoovie, we love you man!
Imagine having sold the Murci while it was all fixed and having kept the perfectly fine Gallardo....
But how much video potential did the Gallardo have? Close to none. That's why he kept the crappy Lambo.
He had a buyer for the Gallardo.
I always wondered why I never have the notifications bell turned on for Hoovie and then I realized that this channel dedicated to poor automobile finance decisions is made for kids I guess. But I watch it to make me feel not so bad about the repairs on my car 😂
Two thoughts.
1. Hoovie's tax write-offs must be out of this world!
2. How did the Wizard get the moth's legs apart? (I'll see myself out)
JB Weld is your best friend for cracked transmissions. I bounced a motorcycle off a tree and put it back together with JB. lasted for 10 years and then I sold the bike and haven't heard if its still holding, but I would bet it is!
This is why you should have saved the gated manual one!!!
I used JB weld to fix a deep scratch in my oil pan. It’s held for over a year now! Hardest part of the job was waiting for the oil to completely drain out... took like 16 hours to stop dripping
Imagine how many used cars for sale are being held together by flex seal. I shudder to think.
Just realized you hit over 1 million subs! Great job Hoovie!
