A Pontiac Vibe and a Toyota Matrix are the same vehicle. Years ago, Toyota teamed with Pontiac to build a common hatchback. The Vibe has a Corolla engine and transmission. The vibe is the only Pontiac vehicle that is worth a damn. IMO
@@marvinthemartian9584 My Neighbor has one that he bought about 10 years ago. The damn thing keeps running. My grand aunt left my dad one - he gave it to my brother. I got dad's Honda Fit, and I wonder which of us got the better deal.
its not hard when the car is worth less then 500 dollars, even tough its "totaled" the lean holder will recover all the money he has into it when he scraps it.
I dont know whats more shocking.......the fact that a pontiac could take that kind of abuse for as long as it did, or the fact that a pontiac of that year and model had to be financed.
The only reason that car could redline into a smoke show for 10+ minutes is because it's actually a Toyota Corolla engine and transmission. An actual Pontiac motor would probably quit after 30 seconds!
fun fact, destroying the car doesn't "screw over the bank" you will be liable for the remaining balance on the car plus damages to said car in that case.
Seems like they didnt make a fail-safe on that vehicle, unless he disabled it. My old car wouldn't let you "red-line" it, as it would just start cutting fuel supply. You could literally watch the tach go up and down once in red.
If you ever wondered the reason why people make a big deal out of cars going so long in burnout competitions is because It puts a tremendous amount of heat into the engine. You're essentially running the engine at 100% load while sitting almost completely still. Since the car is barely moving there's almost no air being passed over the radiator. I'm surprised the engine in this thing didn't lock up completely seeing how hot exhaust got and how long it sayed at redline. It was likely also starving for oil as the vehicle was at such an extreme angle and at max RPM the engine is likely pumping oil as fast as it returns to the sump.
Is nobody going to talk about how impressive it is that that motor held redline with no air going over it for that long?! Very impressed with the guts in the Vibe!
The dealerships will fix the sun fading and put new tires and try to get somebody else on a 25% interest but this time with a engine that worn to shit that probably drinks coolant as fast as gas
In todays world repoing a car at night with someone in it is a game I know I would not play. Night time and guns , someone's going to get hurt. Props to you bud. Stay safe.
But its going to cost him more money which is why he couldn't pay the car payments in the first place. Some people have a skewed outlook on things don't they?
What people don't realize is that even after they repo it. They auction it off and put that amount towards your loan. So if you destroy the car, you won't have anything to put towards your loan
it wasn't his in the first place until the loan is paid off, its the finance company that owns it. and he still has the loan to pay, if the auction does not cover the remainder of the loan plus expenses.
My brother had 4 cars repossessed, You end up owing the difference. I his guy destroyed his car. So hell end up owning more. But you can’t bleed a stone
Forget car... We had this happen to us with a 737(!) The borrower sold off the engines. When our pilots arrived to ferry the aircraft, they were shocked to see the engines were missing.

Nah, I did something similar when I was like 19ish? It's all I had had they pulled up on me while sleeping. Ruined the car, and they sued me. Collectors chased me around for a while and I just claimed bankruptcy after awhile. Poof all gone. I sorta feel bad about it 15 years later.

That was a scary situation. That person knew he was behind on his payments, and he should have let it go. But he made a fool of himself. Thank goodness you were safe away from him. Keep safe, and thank you for sharing this one specifically!
I think this is what happens to people who hit rock bottom and don’t care about consequences. By wrecking the car he just increased his debt. The bank will still try to collect the difference between what was owed and what the car sells for.
5:36 It is amazing to see the exhaust glowing bright orange under the car! 12:33 "I don't like being handcuffed". Yeah, I bet you don't. Not many people do.
I feel for this guy. When I lost my job I made sure my payments were made. Still an error with the mean holder cost then 150k. I had my Jetta repossessed and yet the lean holder sent me paperwork showing I was current. But I had no job. The repo guy still took my Jetta. After I showed the police the paperwork from the bank and proving I was current they charged the repo company with grand theft auto and they turned around and sued me for causing their driver to be arrested. That caused me to dish out an additional 20k of money and that was my all of my savings at the time. Their case was dropped and mine was allowed to go ahead. Then I got my car back the windows was broken out and the seats were slashed. They told the police I did it when they were trying to tow the car. My ring cameras showed differently and again additional charges to lying to police and felony vandalism was bought against them. The company ended up going out of business and had to pay me 150k. And the insurance totaled my car. I ended up in a good spot but this ordeal caused me to miss out on four jobs because I could not make the interviews because of court dates and police interviews. So again. Repo guys some are cool but the rest will do what they can make your life a living hell. This guy is one of the good ones. Please be careful.
As someone from the UK, the craziest thing about this video is that the time between you dialling the police and officers showing up is about 4 minutes. in the UK you'd be on hold waiting to get through for longer.
this is also a problem in certain areas of the US. not everywhere, but certainly in big cities you can wind up on hold waiting on with 911. calling the local police department instead isn’t exactly a way to work around it, but it’s a way to make it easier in a small municipality that would wind up taking the call if you call 911 anyways

@arydant only if a cop is available. More then likely none are available. When I did repos in the early 80s we would call and be told anywhere from 30 minutes or none available. Usually the 30 minutes was more like 45 to an hour. That was the early 80s when staffing wasn't an issue. In today's society where law enforcement staffing is down. A escort is A very very low priority.
Correction in the title of the video, it says "his car" but it is not his car it is the lenders car. You don't own something until you pay for it in full.
Not exactly - he owns it, but puts up it's value and title to secure the loan...had he loaned the car to a driver who injured someone in traffic, he'd be on the hook as the "Owner".
When encountering that kind of crazy, that tells you immediately that "you aren't going to take it," I'd definitely stay out of his line of sight for your own protection.

I’m not sure if I’m right or wrong but I’ve always been told that repo people are not allowed to breach the piece. This person was already in the car when the tow truck pulled up and the driver started arguing with the driver. Once the tow driver realized that this person was going to be a problem he lifted the car preventing the person from being able to safely exit the vehicle. So could this guy potentially sue the tow truck company?
I’m conflicted. Yes he destroyed property that wasn’t his. We all know that. This is also a man living out of his car, almost certainly dealing with addiction and/or mental illness. The guys hard life just got a lot harder homeless. Let’s try to have compassion.
well i see you point, and i do generally agree, i would also add that if this is the way he acts, he shouldn't be driving anything anywhere. go be mentally unstable on a bike.
If he’s dealing with drugs or mental illness or even both at the same time, would you like to see him driving around in your neighborhood? Sleeping in his car near your neighborhood? If he can drive around, know to put gas in his car, know the car needs to be maintained, then he should know to make payments. No money, no payments, it’s not his to keep. There’s many shelters to go to especially in the winter. At least he’ll be warm and safe and maybe get free meals. Unfortunately, when someone lives in their car, they usually aren’t working and maybe there’s no car payments if it’s a used car but we all know we have to have to make payments on other things to own a car. Too many people already drive around with no drivers license and no insurance and get away with it. Owning a car is exhausting. Lol

"He did it!" Ah yes, the tow operator red-lined your car for 5 minutes while baking a tire.
Now your getting it. That's exactly who did it.
Seems like they didnt make a fail-safe on that vehicle, unless he disabled it.
My old car wouldn't let you "red-line" it, as it would just start cutting fuel supply. You could literally watch the tach go up and down once in red.
Just imagine how far he might get in life if he faught that hard to get and keep a job!
The next owner, is gonna get maybe 2 blocks before the crank shaft blows out the side of the engine.

His muffler was cherry red. In my years, I’ve never thought a Pontiac would last as long as it did. Props to the car maker..
Toyota re-badged as Pontiac, that's why
It’s a Toyota Matrix re-badged as a Pontiac… No way GM could make a decent car by itself.
If you ever wondered the reason why people make a big deal out of cars going so long in burnout competitions is because It puts a tremendous amount of heat into the engine. You're essentially running the engine at 100% load while sitting almost completely still. Since the car is barely moving there's almost no air being passed over the radiator. I'm surprised the engine in this thing didn't lock up completely seeing how hot exhaust got and how long it sayed at redline. It was likely also starving for oil as the vehicle was at such an extreme angle and at max RPM the engine is likely pumping oil as fast as it returns to the sump.
I have a Pontiac with almost 400,000 miles on it and it still runs beautifully.
Holy shit, that was his MUFFLER?? I thought that was the lights from the tow truck being reflected. O.O
Is nobody going to talk about how impressive it is that that motor held redline with no air going over it for that long?! Very impressed with the guts in the Vibe!
The dealerships will fix the sun fading and put new tires and try to get somebody else on a 25% interest but this time with a engine that worn to shit that probably drinks coolant as fast as gas
It's a Toyota wearing Pontiac clothing
@@smokey-smore with how that thing sounds it'll probably burn/leak a couple gallons of oil a week too
Anyone else notice the red-hot exhaust?

In todays world repoing a car at night with someone in it is a game I know I would not play. Night time and guns , someone's going to get hurt. Props to you bud. Stay safe.
If companies use police escorts for firing people, tow drivers should have one for repos
When you got nothing, you have nothing to lose.
Also nothing he can buy either 🤣

Kinda smart if you think about it. Cold night. The car's going away. Cops will give him a nice, warm place to sleep.

He has no concern for how much damage he's done to it because he knows it's no longer his anyways.
But its going to cost him more money which is why he couldn't pay the car payments in the first place.
Some people have a skewed outlook on things don't they?
True. If he .ade the payments, paid for the maintenance, he would care
What people don't realize is that even after they repo it. They auction it off and put that amount towards your loan.
So if you destroy the car, you won't have anything to put towards your loan
it wasn't his in the first place until the loan is paid off, its the finance company that owns it. and he still has the loan to pay, if the auction does not cover the remainder of the loan plus expenses.
My brother had 4 cars repossessed, You end up owing the difference. I his guy destroyed his car. So hell end up owning more. But you can’t bleed a stone

I think this is what happens to people who hit rock bottom and don’t care about consequences. By wrecking the car he just increased his debt. The bank will still try to collect the difference between what was owed and what the car sells for.

I feel for this guy. When I lost my job I made sure my payments were made. Still an error with the mean holder cost then 150k. I had my Jetta repossessed and yet the lean holder sent me paperwork showing I was current. But I had no job. The repo guy still took my Jetta. After I showed the police the paperwork from the bank and proving I was current they charged the repo company with grand theft auto and they turned around and sued me for causing their driver to be arrested. That caused me to dish out an additional 20k of money and that was my all of my savings at the time. Their case was dropped and mine was allowed to go ahead. Then I got my car back the windows was broken out and the seats were slashed. They told the police I did it when they were trying to tow the car. My ring cameras showed differently and again additional charges to lying to police and felony vandalism was bought against them. The company ended up going out of business and had to pay me 150k. And the insurance totaled my car.
I ended up in a good spot but this ordeal caused me to miss out on four jobs because I could not make the interviews because of court dates and police interviews.

this is also a problem in certain areas of the US. not everywhere, but certainly in big cities you can wind up on hold waiting on with 911. calling the local police department instead isn’t exactly a way to work around it, but it’s a way to make it easier in a small municipality that would wind up taking the call if you call 911 anyways

The truth is that most officers want to act similarly. It's the elected officials that keep them from serving the people.
That's testimate to how good Toyota engines are. It obviously had a rough life up to that point and then held together at redline for several minutes.
Did Pontiac use toyota engines ?
@@terryoquinn8199 Yes! That's why it held up.
@@terryoquinn8199 not in all their cars, just the Pontiac vibe. It is basically a rebadged Toyota (matrix?) but the engine, frame, suspension and transmission are all Toyota.
I was waiting for a fire...
A friend of mine used to work for a bank, and part of her job was involving the repo's when people didn't pay. It went well most of the time, but one time, a woman went crazy! She grabbed 2 big knives and slashed all the tires, scratched the paint top to the bottom front to back, then got inside and slashed every inch of the inside she could. It took her less than 5 minutes to get it done, but as soon as she got out, the officers got there and ended using the taser. It was brand new, she never made a single payment and they looked for her for 4-5 months. People will do crazy things
Some people are lost causes and have to rebel against everything. Now this guy will be on the hook for the value of the vehicle 😂
The bank got their car back, but it ain't worth shit now. The exhaust manifold was glowing like a cherry.
It’s a Toyota, it’s fine
@@EBK_iN_MY_DNA no it's a Pontiac, it's toast
@@TheSimba86 Pontiac Vibe is a rebranded Toyota Matrix.
So he will owe on the damages. He just fuck himself completely
that's cool @@themaritimegirl
Some people really act like children when they’re getting their car towed😂
Not his car until he pays it off
I'm surprised they let him go. They could have easily charged him with resisting the way he fought with the cops.
@@AdirondackHomesteadYou're too dumb to know the laws they in fact did and arrest him they said he was under arrest on video you saying that he was never arrested and they could not charged him with resisting is bullshit they could have easily charged him with resisting.
It's a civil issue, they can't arrest him over this. He was detained because of the way he acted
@@AdirondackHomesteadplease don't call people dumb. Ignorance isn't being dumb. You've now educated the man you don't have to abuse him. He hasn't done that to you. Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done.
@@AdirondackHomesteadknowledge of the law from being in and out of jail isn't something to brag about
@nickflopper 😂😂🤣
Financing a Pontiac vibe should be a crime in itself
I’m not sure if I’m right or wrong but I’ve always been told that repo people are not allowed to breach the piece. This person was already in the car when the tow truck pulled up and the driver started arguing with the driver. Once the tow driver realized that this person was going to be a problem he lifted the car preventing the person from being able to safely exit the vehicle. So could this guy potentially sue the tow truck company?
💯💯
You are exactly right. It is a breach of peace. This would be in the civil court but would be a very large lawsuit. Kidnapping and breach of peace.
In my state 100%
Totally insane. At least he didn't try to assault you, could have been scary.
Man that job seems too dangerous, dont wana face a weirdo with a weapon in his car
I’m conflicted. Yes he destroyed property that wasn’t his. We all know that. This is also a man living out of his car, almost certainly dealing with addiction and/or mental illness.
The guys hard life just got a lot harder homeless. Let’s try to have compassion.
well i see you point, and i do generally agree, i would also add that if this is the way he acts, he shouldn't be driving anything anywhere. go be mentally unstable on a bike.
If he’s dealing with drugs or mental illness or even both at the same time, would you like to see him driving around in your neighborhood? Sleeping in his car near your neighborhood? If he can drive around, know to put gas in his car, know the car needs to be maintained, then he should know to make payments. No money, no payments, it’s not his to keep. There’s many shelters to go to especially in the winter. At least he’ll be warm and safe and maybe get free meals. Unfortunately, when someone lives in their car, they usually aren’t working and maybe there’s no car payments if it’s a used car but we all know we have to have to make payments on other things to own a car. Too many people already drive around with no drivers license and no insurance and get away with it. Owning a car is exhausting. Lol
@@JMarieCAloveIf your going to assume that about the driver then I'm going to assume you can't keep your legs closed. See how it works both ways? 🤣🤣
Illness doesn’t give him the right to destroy a car he doesn’t own. Stop enabling criminals!
*THIS COMMENT SECTION* sums up how modern America seems to outsiders - a 'Christian' nation full of people with a Darwinian, empathy-free outlook. No thought of what misfortunes might have led this man to where he is. A disease that the US medical system has cost him his life savings to treat? The loss of a loved one that led to a mental health spiral? An unlucky sequence of events that took him from middle class to homeless through sheer bad luck? A criminal justice system that makes it hard for him to get ahead after doing his time?
If you'd hook up both front wheels he'd be able to buckle and shake down. The fact you strapped only one side front allowed him to burn out the other side but not being able to jump down. It's sad situation for the person in the car, however the repo guy himself don't wanna loose his job and become in the same situation, has to do his own job.
Neither side was strapped while he was burning out…
@@Towtruck_Dustin Oh, then the differential picked that other wheel to spin. In any case, I'm happy no one was hurt.
I hope that guy gets the help he needs, clearly he has some issues holding him back in life
We are worth it and we all make mistakes. Hope he can turn his life around
Dood just had his home repod for not paying! Nobody should have to borrow to buy a vibe.
Sad to watch. TT driver here should have left well enough alone and found another contract. He said at the start guy was living in it. In January. Who wins here? Nobody. Pretty D bag move IMO
@@rogueninja1685 what's that like living in your fantasy land. People don't pay bills your stuff is no longer your stuff. So under your logic , if it's winter we don't have to pay bills and nothing will happen because the company don't want to look like D bags? Grow up and get a life . That's not how the world works
@geekfreak618you're brainwashed
He very much sounds like the kind of person that if asked why he was homeless, he would blame society and the corporations.
Many Americans are one unfortunate event away from financial ruin. If his car payment was over 20% of his income, as many americans do, he'd lose the car if he lost his job or took a paycut.
Just your typical Biden voter. It's always someone else's fault that he's broke😂😂😂
walk a mile ...
That was crazy! Glad you’re ok Dustin. At least no weapons were involved, but I do hope you’re allowed to carry to protect yourself.
Happy New Year Dustin.
Happy New Year!
There’s pretty much no way I would do that job if I wasn’t allowed to carry backup to protect myself.
I don’t know if you just see it more because of the internet or if people are actually getting crazier, I’m thinking the latter for whatever reason.
It’s like one of my neighbors who I’ve never really talked to but I was out walking my dog and he came running out of his house with a fork in his hand saying how much he would like to stab me with it.
He was so drunk I’m surprised he could stand.
Thankfully he didn’t cross the road towards me so I didn’t have to protect myself and I was just called 911 and they took care of it. This guy was just doing his job, and I’m pretty sure the guy in the car knew he hadn’t paid his payments. Now, even if he gets his car back, he won’t have much.
Stupid people will be stupid I guess.
In all fairness, he destroyed somebody else's car because he clearly couldn't afford it.
@@milesonewheelwinter They will still come after him for the money, and he doesn’t have use of the vehicle. I feel for the guy since it was also his home.
The bank will bill him for damage done. His credit score is now 51.
About the same as his IQ lol
That’s a bar🔥
😂
The Debtor didn't total the car trying to escape , he totaled the car to make it USELESS to the bank / lending company that actually owns the vehicle .
And he STILL owes the money anyway, now he'll have to pay the full amount because the car is scrap metal now
Doesnt matter the banks still lose money. F those money hungry ✡@@HobbyOrganist
@@HobbyOrganistAnd now the amount for the damage because insurance companies will not pay for intentional damage.
Owing money is different than repaying money. I dare say that he isn't worried about his credit score, and doesn't have any wages to garnish.
why would they cut him loose? he needs time behind bars for Destruction of property. Best way to get "On your feet" is don't make your payments..
Turning him loose doesn't mean he won't get charged with anything. I don't know the laws for property damage during a repo, but I bet it was a crime or he is at least responsible for the damage.
"You're not going to take my car, I'm going to destroy it!" Is a logic I never quite understood.
That’s how certain people think.
That thing quickly turned into a bad vibe! :D
