The Whole reason he didn't tow it to the wizard's Garage is because he doesn't want to be labeled as a towing test channel again.
If I have a car that won't shift and hasn't brake lights for a safety standpoint I would have towed it
@@michaelcoonce6694 if only you'd know what people do with cars in less fortunate places...
@@michaelcoonce6694 he didn't know it didn't have brake lights
@@piuthemagicman I see it all the time. With no brake lights and irratic shift it could have caused an accident.
I thought he had a good relationship with the local tow truck driver. 😎
Tyler pushing the lambo was the funniest thing I’ve seen in days 😂😂😂
Kan John I mean he could have his wife bring his Ford "Lightning" and towed it with that.
I was pretty impressed at how quick he jumped back in like he was used to doing that all the time
Tyler should accept that being humiliated is part of life.....but let's be honest he still has a bunch of Lambos......
@@lukewalker1051 and then she says, "what color are your dads Lamborghinis and Ferraris?"
That"humiliation" gives him money making content
How much effort does it take to get that Lambo into gear?
"if you have to ask..."
most of us would push a push a murci to work everyday with a smile on their faces
as if he doesnt have a trailer with a wench
and a truck to tow it
There's a wonderful duality of thinking in being 'humiliated' while driving one of the greatest cars of the 21st century. This is why Hoov's channel is head and shoulders above the rest. Love you Hoovie.
I would say it's kind of at the back of the line when it comes to that list. I guess if we're talking about the best car to drive a few times before you lost the privilege LOL Lamborghini might drive faster than my Toyota but only faster to the junkyard
Greatest cars? I have never had my 2006 mini cooper ever leave me at the side of the road…and my 92 corvette c4, not to mention my 54 chevy bel aire…
I mean, if you see someone pushing a car like that, you definitely chuckle to yourself.
But I love the fact that Tyler is willing to limp it to the Wizard instead of having it towed up there. Yes he's doing it for content, but the content is why we're here.
😂
I mean its a hunk of shit so there is that...
Hoovie gets HUMILIATED in traffic and still shows it to us. Don't go changing Tyler, you the man. Greetings from Canada!
...And swearing just softly enough for TH-cam captioning to not hear it over the engine noise :D
When I am having a tough day, seeing you pushing a Lambo somehow makes everything better. Thanks for being you Hoovie!
😂😂😂
I did that will my air-cooled Vdub 30 years ago. A lot.
I could definitely handle the embarrassing moments like that if I were able to drive lambo to the shop test out my Porsche then drive my Ferrari home. Not a bad day really. But seriously, congratulations on all your successes and thanks for making these videos
Hard to say...it is pretty embarassing..........especially when you know other people would laugh because it's a lambo of all things lmao
Great safety design--strand the driver if the brake light switch breaks. Meanwhile, allow the car to be push started with no one in the driver's seat and the door open (and obviously in-gear).
I think it's in neutral - he pulls the paddle as he jumps in. You can't expect a safety feature to work with a defective part. Obviously you need to have the brake pedal depressed when you put it in gear - and that safety feature needs to be turned off as soon as the car moves. Cars have a number of simple things that will leave you stranded if they don't work. I think the set-up it as good as it can get.
How would you do it?
It's something certainly developed by the Italian (born and/or raised) part of the car. 😁
I think the actual safety feature is the fact it shifts itself to neutral if you're sitting in place for a long time without the brakes applied, that's what was getting him stuck.
take your pick, forcing the car to stay in first gear at stops so it cooks clutches every oil change or being like every car on the market and having a shift lockout that required the brake pedal to be depressed to shift into gear
I normally think “patina” is used as an excuse for not affording a new paint job however Apollo 911’s patchy paintwork gives it a real cool 996 Outlaw feel. Wish Tyler was spending more time on cars like this, and generating content actually using them.
My wife had a Jetta and that same switch was on her car, in 4 years it failed 3 times. To the point, a local dealership gave me 2 to keep on hand. Simple replacement and helpful to have an extra when the car strands your wife after work at 6am.
I had a jetty that if you accelerated too hard would go into neutral for a second then back into drive. Was that possibly the same thing? I sold the car and hope it wasn't too easy a fix
lol i had a 2015 elantra that had a splash guard that kept falling down and rubbing against the tires, sometimes getting stuck on them. You could pop it back but that would only last til you got above 20mph. After numerous times stopping on the side of the road to fix it i eventually just ziptied it back up and kept industrial zip ties in my glove box in case it ever fell down again. Woulda taken it to the shop but that was a $500 fix bc it was all one piece and those zip ties were maybe $6 and one zip tie lasted well over 6 months at a time
@@16driver16 The reason it does that is that the computers are trying to "help" (out-think) you and so manual control never really is any more. It's why I won't buy anything with paddle shifting as it does stupid things like that. My father's car, an Audi, operates like a manual but when hitting the brakes below about 35mph will revert back to automatic/shift to the highest gear. I get why it does that - to not stall the engine, but then you are hunting for a gear all the time on mountain roads and slow turns (it simply won't stay in 2nd gear reliably when decelerating)
Another fun thing is having the rev limiter at different points in every gear. WHY? I dunno. Welcome to VW Group cars?
My Mustang... old school manual. No issues, no expenses going on 8 years and 130K miles. Original clutch and just does what you tell it to. Once I disabled the hill assist feature (sort of complicated process, similar to BMWs and their hidden features) it's been dead simple to operate.
@@plektosgaming what are you talking about?! My jetta had a automatic transmission no manual anything it was fully loaded as well as 280xxxmi. Second, no paddle shifters do not work like that in MOST cars with them... my gfs automatic miata will absolutely stay in whatever gear it's put into in manual mode that's how you do the good donuts is 2nd gear TCS off. Maybe your talking about cars like my grandma's hyundai with "manual" mode will shift automatically if you hit redline or idle but it's not actually made to drive like that unless your towing on hills.
@@16driver16 probably bad motor / transmission mounts. Motor and transmission probably moved enough that it pulled on the shift cable enough to pop it into neutral, then when the power from the motor was disconnected and everything settled back into place went back into drive. Probably a super simple fix.
That magic restart sequence reminds me of some cars from my early days, where I would only park them at the top of a hill, to have the option of a free-wheel bump start if the electrics let me down. And I used to play the same game of timing stop lights when the clutch hydraulics would fail. I guess "Progress" is a relative thing! 😁
Tyler needs to see about obtaining "BATTERY TENDER" as a Sponsor (as you need about 12+ Units) so you can outfit your entire Garage and Rack for every "vehicle slot" plus a couple extra to keep battery purchasing costs down!
My battery tender was one of the best purchases I have made. And I only have 3 cars and a motorcycle.
Lame, cars are for driving not sitting
Its more fun when he jump starts the Porsche with the Ferrari
I love how this video is more real and feels much less scripted. Super awesome vid would love more like this!
My day isn't complete unless I hear Tyler say "Thank you for watching."
Imagine forgetting the name of the $150,000 car you bought.
Every car person has had that "push to start" car at some point.
or a few. 🤣
Mine used to be from running out of petrol lol
That was some smooth operation at the last stop light there!!! That same brake switch is pretty much identical to the one I had on MKIV GTI haha. That one would fail every 70-80k miles.
There's no better feeling than watch Tyler push a Lambo on the street!
I'm sure you never thought you'd be counting the amount of stops you'd be taking driving your Lamborghini to the mechanic 🤣 these are the type of problems I want in my life 😂😅
I had a related problem with my brakes last month involving a $10 disintegrated bushing. Always great when the repairs come out less than $100.
Sounds like the biden ball nut needs a good tugging and then sum lube to fix!
There's a lot of things you do on this channel that I don't understand or wouldn't do myself. But man do I have mad respect for you keeping Apollo 911 and keeping it running. What a unique car that's been around so long.
Tyler- I had That exact Part fail 4-5 times on my 2003 GTI. 80+ mile round trip to the dealership every time. Hopefully they have fixed it in the newer versions.
As he stopped at lights,how many people do you think said,"There's something you don't see everyday",and then Tyler steps out and starts pushing?
"I ain't never seen THAT before..."
That bloody intro 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hoovie was in shambles
Welcome to Hoovies dumb, the garagest channel on YT!
Man from Lamborghini to Porsche then into a Ferrari all in a afternoon.....life is fantastic for Hoovies on this day.
I feel very welcome at Hoovie's Dumb, the Garagest channel in all of YouBoob. 😍
As an independent dealer myself, I've been in this type of situation quite a few times. Nothing like being in an exotic car at a stoplight and everyone is checking you out, but instead og driving off it starts revving high and goes nowhere.
Should've pulled donuts in place until it was your light.
"welcome to hoovies dumb". What a line. You can bet that i'll start using that every time i do something real dumb
@👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
Honestly, it's refreshing seeing these supercars acting like (very expensive) hoopties 🤣
Working at Porsche, the easiest way I moved cars in the showroom was just grabbing the wheels and turning them.
@LamboDEB👆👆👆👆
The air vent flying out on acceleration 😂😂😂
The “shit” under your breath @7:15 killed me lmfao
@KTW👆👆👆👆👆
Always interesting watching videos from you, especially when your cars break. Thanks, Tyler!
"So, something as stupid as that?" That sums up Italian car ownership.
if there’s one way to be embarrassed i think this might be the best one
It's very much the joy of owning older vehicles no matter the make or model
@daniel carter👆👆👆👆
Getting out of the car to do the tow himself, incredible!!!
😂😂😂
I’ve never seen anyone push the car and then jump in to make a left turn that was genuinely impressive
List of mods to consider:
Manual swap;
Paint the creme leather to black;
Carbon fiber roof top.
That Star trek moment made wizard look like bubbles from trailer park Boys
What i would give to come across Hoovie pushing a Lamborghini through an interaction.
gives me flashbacks of 08 when i owned a Crossfire that would die at lights periodically and I couldn't stop at them. All these years later it's a known issue with the position sensors, but the techs back then were baffled lol
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has bad luck with cars😂 stuff be breaking every other week
"Welcome to hooves dumb the garagest channel in all of TH-cam." Literally lost it at that!
Ohhh, u know Hoovie's mad when he doesn't even say "WHEEEZARD!". 😅
Don't worry, I got you, all the way from Trinidad (and days late, since you filmed 😂).
when hoovie picks up the farrari thinking everything is good..... the airvents popping out is like it asking him to hold its beer 😂
Always great to see something other than tow tests!
😅
He doesn't really do that was one or two vids it's content lol
@@jamesireland9188 that's just what the deep state wants you to think
@@jamesireland9188 that's the joke
@@jamesireland9188 I came here because I specifically heard from a reputable source that this is the best channel to get towing tips
Tyler actually said Hi to the wizard!! I think I like it when he says WEEZARD much better 😂😂😂😂😅
Video starts with having to hop out and push the Lambo, ends with the Ferrari throwing an HVAC vent into your lap... classic Hoovie
Fun thing about those VW brake switches: they have some overcomplicated mechanism that engages as you turn the switch clockwise during installation.
When you remove the brake switch, that internal collar turns and the switch will test as a dead switch. You can ONLY test them while installed, otherwise the internal mechanism effectively disables the two switches once the switch is removed from its bracket.
And yes, it is effectively two switches in one. The half of the switch for the brake lights has no continuity (open) with the pedal released, then has continuity (closed) once the pedal is pressed and sends power to the brake lights.
The other switch works the opposite way and sends its signal to the engine computer as a double check against the brake light switch itself. It sends power with the pedal not being pressed, then goes open circuit as you press the brake pedal.
Those two signals should flip at the exact same time or the engine computer gets angry and sets a "brake switch implausible signal" code.
Just cut a hole in the floorboard so you can do a “Fred Flintstone” and get it in gear! Yaba Daba Doo! 🦶🦶🤣😎
Hoovie, you genuinely displayed a most humble demeanor as you exerted your back while pushing your prized Lambo with care and dexterity. Consider changing your perspective, ask yourself how many drivers that were fortunate enough to witness your plight, would give a digit from their left hand to own your collector's quality Lambo? Ask yourself how many men would be seen pushing their beautiful orange convertible Lambos down streets in captivating Central Kansas.? It's those Lambos buzzing in and out of Wizards' that make the area exclusively captivating. Thanks for your awards, I sincerely appreciate your compliment. Please give them to another recipient of your choice, for I am just an ordinary average guy. I am honored for your recognition, many thanks Hoovie and Wizard!! Together your videos are superb because you tell the truth in a most delightful way.
Surprised your mechanic diagnosed it so quickly. Similar issues occur on bmw bikes with blown stop bulbs
Which BMW bikes? Never heard that one.
@@loomspace R & K series from about 2000 to 2005. iABS was the model of abs used - bmw thought it was a good idea to equip their bikes with servo assisted ABS. When it goes wrong it can total the bike easily as nobody commercially repairs the unit.
I heard he re-creates the Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs) scene with his new Ford Lightning. He looks in the mirror, puts on some red lipstick and says, "Would you tow me, I'd tow me...hard."
This is one of the few you tube channels that still make me laugh.
Good to see Apollo 911 driving again. You buying that was a big influence on me buying my 997, which I'm about 5 and half years of relatively trouble free owner ship.
Nice towing test 10/10 exactly why I subscripe
I like how the Apollo 911 tows, seems quite 5/5. Gotta get me a LS 911 for my camping trips.
Back in the early 2000s I was a parts guy at a VW dealership ,and we stocked about 50 or more of those brake light switches because they would fail so regularly. The BMW SMG trainsmission that is pretty much identical to this will not go into gear if the hood is popped, I learned that not too long ago.
The accidental honk was the icing on the cake when pushing the car haha
It's still weird that the brake system should throw the TCU into safe mode when there's a fault and that would limit you to second gear. I'd still keep an eye on it. Hopefully the switch is the answer.
I like the new hooptie push to put in gear mode 😜
I had a new D-shaped wheel with digital display put on my C7....two weeks later she was DEAD. Turns out the steering wheel display was turning itself on based on the module it was connected to (my mechanic, not I) and it was enough to put the drain over the top...similarly easy fix and she's Back in Black!
pushing your lamborghini next to the running, fast idling V12 with 1000x the power output of your body is like watching a horse be carried by it’s rider.
Tyler, please tell the Wizard to have that "Lambo" laptop imaged for safety. if the drive fails on that laptop. it's done probably.
@@Wontreplyeverdontbother Working in IT myself, those old XP drives can actually be cloned as-is.(with Windows 7 being the last easy to image/clone OS) I'd highly recommend moving to a solid state drive to have one less point of failure - and just keep the mechanical drive as a spare. Apricorn makes a great adapter for that era of machine and getting to the hard drive is basically as simple as removing a couple of screws. Ah, the days before everything was glued and welded together. Those machines are dead simple to operate.
NOTE - with a spare, he can find a same model/SKU of the same laptop and keep THAT as a spare. XP was like that - it simply didn't care about the drive and all you had to do was drop the cloned drive in and re-install the drivers. At the time we could have a person up and running in 30 minutes, mostly due to the time it took to get updates and fiddle with their user settings. NOW... it's a nightmare since a Win 10 "image" is basically a rough template and it's a good 2 hour process to get a machine ready and copy their user data over. It's actually just as quick to simply install from scratch in most cases.
This is really nice that you can change into another car while the other one is being fixed. This is Belinda by the way.
That brake light switch issue seems to be common around this age. I have two 2002 Audi A6s and both had this very switch fail within the last few years. Probably the same is used in this Murcielago too.
My S3 had problems with the brake light switch, wouldn't accelerate sometimes ( great when pulling out from side streets ) took Audi 3 months to trace it.
"At VW, we spell Kwality with a capital K!"
@@nicholasvinen to be honest I don't see much wrong with having to replace a switch in a 18-20 year old car.
@@DANIELGT500 things can go wrong after 20 years but a switch should be more reliable than that. One person in the comments said they had to replace this same switch three times in two years! So I think it is a low-quality part. How many 20-year-old Toyotas or Hondas have this problem? Very few, I bet.
@@nicholasvinen if someone had to replace it multiple times, they more than likely used a poor aftermarket part. It's not expensive to buy at all, even from a main dealer, so that's what I've done both times.
This hooptie video will definitely end up in the 'Classics' series. Thank you Tyler!
That was awesome run starting the lambo in traffic 💪
The wizards mechanic looks like Murry from impractical jokers
At this point tyler should invest in a ramp truck and or a towing company.
I wonder if you could have just revved it in neutral as you approached the light and kept revving it as you switch back into drive.
LS swaps are usually not my thing but somehow it works on a 911. Perhaps because so much of the 911-ness is retained simply by having the engine behind the rear axle. And the lightweight LS is not a bad replacement for the flat-6 and should offer some interesting changes to the performance characteristics
An LS swapped 911 is an embarrassment. That's so ghetto trash. Don't do it!
no
@@jguillot72 absolutely yes
@@jguillot72 Incorrect, try again
So much fun to watch this. The orange lambo would be a dream for me to drive....it looks super modern. Brilliant shiny orange. SADLY I'M sure i don't fit. I amd 6'8"....i wouldn't even fit in the cabin. Enjoy driving this car tyler for all of us who can't.
If he was in California during rush hour we would see a fitter Hoovie with more laughs lol
Ah yes, another murcie video! Lambos are going to Lambo
Same thing happened to my 04 Cayenne. The cruise control wouldn't work. It was the brake switch. $20 later and it was good to go.
When I’m having a bad day from now on I’ll just think, at least I’m not having to push my Lamborghini today
@Britt Raney👆👆👆👆
Had a friend with a similar problem. 2010 Kia Soul... I noticed that the brake lights weren't coming on and sure enough, the switch was bad. Kia even acknowledged that they were a known problem. So it was recommended I get a different branded one instead of the Kia one. Then I remember it being mentioned that there was an incident when the cruise was being used and when they put the brake on it kept accelerating. So they just would never use the cruise because they were scared of it. Then I realized why the cruise wasn't kicking off because the brake light switch is what triggered that. To me, that should have been a recall because that is a big safety concern for someone who wouldn't know to reach up and turn the button off quickly or in a situation where you might not even have time to do that.
This is how we drove those old manual VW Things. I’m glad it’s the same for a Lambo.
Being humiliated while driving a Lambo seems to have a certain sense of yin and yang to it somehow.
@Mike Mulley👆👆👆👆
I imagine people thinking "Skinny guy pushing a lambo...must be Hoovie..."
It's all part of the Italian passion.
Imagine as you look across the road waiting for the lights to chance you see a dude pushing a Mercielago across the intersection
I think you did great Tyler you handled that on the fly like a pro in zipped away like the sad Lamborghini owner you are. I love your content that exposes the truth behind Lamborghini and Ferrari LOL just kidding although you're troubles with Exotics has taught me quite a bit about what makes the car actually good. Keep it up Tyler!
Had something like this happen to me. Was driving home 30 minutes in a NA Miata and my slave cylinder blew. Had to rev match every gear going home and couldn’t stop
Ed Bolian was just discussing how frequently the brake switch fails on these cars
I love this Murci more every time I see it. I'd let it humiliate me in traffic any day of the week
Rather have my 2002 crv😜
Fantastic diagnosis from the wizard…”thats weird”
Hoovie I love all your videos. The hoopties, the exotics, the trips. Keep up the awesome content!
Magic Mike not using a Fluke???? 😂. That Fluke 87 is the ticket
So it's not good at towing. Thanks as always for a very informative video. Keep on towing.
Still a beautiful car and worth it.
Hoovie's next hoopdie should be a rollback tow truck
