These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro
0:05 Ford Focus. Where the sub-frame mounts to the body, it's rusted out. What you see is the sub-frame rocking back and forth making it very dangerous to drive! The technician said the customer drove it very slowly home so they can figure out what to do since they just bought the car a month ago.
0:26 The customer left the plastic on the engine air filter when he installed it. The vehicle is a Ford F-150.
0:35 2013 Toyota Sienna. The shop resealed the oil pan correctly, fixed the threads for a bolt hole, and sent the customer on his way.
0:51 Customer had vent closed on the passenger side.
1:04 Very rusty wheel on a Chevy/GM truck. Very common to see, especially for the spare tires as they don't get used often and just rust away when stored underneath the bed of the truck.
The customer is lucky they didn't crash on the way to the shop.
1:15 Very worn tires on a Ford Super-Duty. Look's like the truck will need an alignment (and probably some front-end work as well).
1:25 The technician said the customer didn't seem to be intoxicated when they came in but he was just surprised to see these empty bottles in this truck. He told his boss and he said his boss talked to the customer (didn't mention anything else).
1:33 No extra info. This is the coolant the car requires - www.europaparts.com/rowe-high...
1:44 The technician found this bell underneath the customer's car during an inspection.
1:51 The mechanic thought this was really weird when we opened the glove box.
1:59 The technician said the cylinder wall was pretty gouged and the engine is now getting rebuilt. Didn't mention the make/model of the vehicle. The technician is also looking down the spark plug hole and that's where he saw the nut.
2:10 No extra info.
2:20 The technician said: "In my opinion, it seems like it’s a defect. The truck has one Upstate NY winter but has nothing similar anywhere on the truck. If you rub your finger on it the rust will actually flake off."
2:30 2007 Subaru Legacy. The technician said it looks like the customer kept using only water in the coolant system which rusted the head gaskets like this.
2:43 No extra info. (I always change it up for the last clip).
3:01 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Happy Monday!

0:05 me: "oh neat, im completely familiar with the focus mk1 platform..... AHHHHHHHHHH!"
@@nazrad69 yes some stuff they use is awful on vehicles. But everywhere uses different salt/chemicals in the winter time. Some are better than others.
@@nazrad69 Yup!
Gonna try to get pics of my cousin's 4 day old brand new suv she waited 2m for the dealership to get in that got rear-ended but a co-worker that wasn't paying attention... have pics of her co-worker's car... it's totalled. Karma is a bitch for the co-worker... she admits that she & her mom drive drunk with her kids in the car. Shame what happened to my cousin's suv. My daughter who works with them both saw the accident, didn't realize it was our cousin that got hit; thought it was hilarious that the co-worker totalled her car though.
That glove box is epic 👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺
I laughed with joy at that one.
Made my day! Epic stuff!
Curbs road rage, instead of reaching for a gun in the glovebox, you're in your happy place.
@@trooperandcooperale3057 But happiness is a warm gun.
Definitely far from being a fail!
That’s a good way to keep your air filter clean 👍🏼
Right? 😂
Lol
Life hack, right there
@@jimtekkit Ten tips your auto parts store doesn't want you to know!
It's like those old people that shrink wrap their couches.
I don't care how hard your day was, that glove box would have to make you smile. People are awesome!
Favorite part of the last clip is the fellow technician coming over with his phone out recording. 🤣
Something tells me this isn't the first time that's happened at that shop...
I'm not sure about 'Favorite'.
Personally I thought the guy with the phone was pathetic.
Just the kind of immature workmate no-one wants, needs or will ever trust.
@@philyew3617 you have obviously never worked in a shop
@@philyew3617 I bet you are a blast at a party. What was the guy supposed to do by that point? The mess was already made and the other guy had it under control. Besides, getting a photo of the oil spill is a good thing. In the event anyone reports it they can use it to show roughly how much oil was spilled and if it was near or far from a storm drain or anything. Lighten up. The camera guy probably helped clean it up anyway and for all we know gave the messy guy a change of clothes.
Glove box was neat but I really feel for the oil change guy at the end. I’ve seen those things make some giant messes.
And the first co-worker on the scene is making sure to video with his phone.
That guy better be on the lookout for revenge...
Happened to me once, forgot to close the top valve, oil almost hit the ceiling before it came back down on me.
Bt, dt.
His posture at the end was just pure defeat.
its funny.....as long as it happens to one of the other guys, thats a bad day at work
The closed A\C vent reminds me of my ex-husband who was a mechanic. His sister had him check her car because she had no dash lights. I watched him check the fuses, wiring, bulbs, etc. before asking if he checked the dimmer switch. He looked at me like I was a dumb blonde, but he checked and it was the dimmer switch. SIL didn't even know it was there, let alone what it did. 😂
My jaw dropped at the first video. That's insanely dangerous
I've heard of full floating discs but never full floating suspension!
If I have learn anything by watching these clips, it ain't dangerous at all. Actually it is pretty common.
@T.J. Kong Zippy ties and gorilla tape
I'm trying to figure out how they managed to pass a safety, that or they were driving it illegally with no registration ect.
@@frumsmcnoodles323 Many states have no safety inspection.
Its great because you drive stuff until it breaks.
Its terrible because you drive stuff until it breaks.
The very worn out tire on the truck was nerve racking but the rotted out sub frame on the car in the first clip made me numb head to toe.
Fr I thought that was some kinda of undercladding until he moved it and the whole ass front end moved with it. Actually unbelievable
I could see the air inside that tire.
Seen a rear end cradle on a Dodge Caliber like that. Customer didn't even know it was rusted out so bad you could lift the rear diff up and hit the body. Alignment was nonexistent.
How these people drive round in these death traps I will never know the noise those cars must be making is truly horrific. I moved a mates car for them once and having done just 15mph and one corner in it I told them it would 100% fail its inspection as I suspected a fractured/broken coil spring at the front turns out it was even worse and rusted to hell.
Having worked in automotive for a long time and getting out back in 2018 I love watching these videos and showing my family the amount of stupidity the average person working in automotive see's....nothing i've ever seen on this show surprises me but I love seeing the reaction of my wife lol...keep up the great content..hello from Canada
Hello Canada from Florida! We have lots of idiots here!
_Nothing_ surprises you on these videos?
Damn you've been watching for just a few days and missed stuff like a freaking propane torch inside the car lit to be a heater substitute and alikes, or have you personally seen hell and Satan waved back at you?
Yup, I worked as a tech from May 1997 to May 2022. Just retired from it about 4 months ago. I definitely don't miss the BS and working for free.
I hear ya there😏
@@jasonmeyers5849 . Enjoy your retirement 👌 .
0:26, New air filter still wrapped in plastic.🤣
I think that there was another video of the same problem.
@@stuartaaron613 Or was it a video of another person doing the same thing? That's my guess. 😆😆
Yep it was a picture of a customer who did this with a K&N filter he just installed.
2:22 that frame is a 2021 GMC Sierra! OMG! WOW!
I live in the rust belt and even I was like WTF GM?
Do they drive the truck on the beach in salt water ? Think a remote place there one way to it is thru shallow water ?
@@TheStefanskoglund1
Looks like they leave it parked in two feet of ocean water.
Everything else in that video of the truck still looks pristine perfect under there, something clearly happened to that corner area like maybe he drove over a battery and that area got splashed with acid or something.
Could be a manufacturing defect where they didn’t hit that section with the right coating etc.
The last one, where his buddy comes in closer just to get a better angle on the video lol
That's how you know he is a true friend. Offered absolutely no assistance!!!
@@iainwalker8701 hahaha so true
0:27 This is the same problem with a sandwich when you don't unwrap the cheese slice.
Hence the highly detailed "Safety messages" on new appliances - so many people lack basic intelligence.
1:44 That was a gremlin bell, it keeps the gremlins away!
Commonly used on motorcycles as a good luck charm to protect against accidents. Doesn't always work...
It’s a Harley Davidson thing!🏍
The rust on that Bluetooth suspension is mind boggling. The rust on that 1 year old truck is truly sad. You would think there would be a better solution by now. Want to say congrats on your new bundle rolling in...to your and your wife's life.
I have to think that the factory messed up with the painting or coating. Yes rust is inevitable in many places but not that much that fast!
bluetooth suspension, lmfao wireless shocks
I wonder if the car will just run over it's own front suspension (what's left of it that is) under emergency breaking.
It's planned obsolescence.
That's why I prefer older vehicles, the are proven to be good. A new vehicle is to risky, and hard to find parts for.
In 2008 I went to buy a new gmc truck and the frames on them had rust on BRAND NEW trucks. Made to fail and sell you another
that glove box was actually pretty cool.
Definitely not what I was expecting 😆
Little weird, but yeah, cool.
@@billp4 oh. I'd never do it myself but......
I liked it, nice surprises are rare!
I say it every time and I'll say it again... This channel makes me thankful we don't have flying cars. Especially the first one. 😮
Right?!
too bad their vote is worth that same as yours.
1:51 I found that really cute if the customers have a lil child to entertain haha
Love the air filter and the closed A/C passenger vents. 👍 👍
1:58 - this is god tier level of amazing. all pray to the clubpenguin minihub
The story behind the bell, is if it was given by a loved one and hung on your vehicle it keeps the evil road spirits away! 😊😊
Yep, in the motorcycle world at least it's known as a gremlin bell!
@@alexanderryll8356 Yes and those bells have to be given to the owner, not bought by the cars / bikes owner.
Ah that’s interesting, I thought it was a prank by a mate. In a lot of places in Sth E. Asia especially Buddhist and Hindu countries they have the car or motorbike blessed by monk’s when getting a new/used car or bike.
That glovebox was AWESOME! 😄
Probably it's a tiny consolation for having to live in the car 'cos renting accommodation is not possible.
There's quite a bit of that going on, they tell me.
MAN that club penguin glove box is insane, I should do something similar
Love that glovebox, I feel the need to do something like that in my car now, maybe a funky chicken disco complete with disco ball!
Loving that little orange minor top left at the end, I'm sure I've seen that in a video from the owner in the past!
I was thinking a Wallace and Gromit one would be cool.
more glovebox art installation please, that right proper made me smile 😁😁
Bit more info on the 70K mile oil filter: The guy brought it in and said "I didn't realize I was supposed to change the oil", he bought the truck new and went 70,000 miles towing his other stuff with it, how the motor made it that long I have no idea. I told my boss the moment I heard the mileage that the motor was gonna be toast very soon after the oil change, but I got the go-ahead to do it. The truck made it another 1500 miles or so before a connecting rod decided to leave the engine while he was driving it down the highway. Somehow he convinced the dealership to warranty the motor despite the lack of maintenance.
I once had a 2015 Ford Taurus come into our shop near the end of the day for an oil change near the end of my work day with about 51k on it, the oil looked a bit sludgy when I was draining it but it didn't look HORRIBLE to me (too many times seeing a completely locked up engine come into the shop during that time period I suppose) so I finished up the oil change and sent it on it's way. Not even 15 minutes later it came back with one of the worst knocks you could possibly hear from a functional engine. THUNKADATHUNKADATHUNKADA. Fun times.
Customer brought in an Audi fir an oil change, didn’t know it needed to be changed. Had around 30k on it. Got tied back in a few days later. Crank, no start. Sounded like it had low compression
No way that was a warranty
@@jeepindave5464 Lotta times the mfgr will warranty a situation like as a goodwill measure. Possibly the engineers want that engine for analysis.
And he drives on the road with us.... how'd he figure out it also needs gas once in a while?!!
Damn some dude spent 70k on a status symbol pickup and the frame rotted out in under a yr.
The bell is to ward of gremlins. :)
The head scratcher of the video to me is the rusty *stainless steel* head gaskets on the Subaru. Guess that’s what happens when you buy “SPLINKDIST” brand head gaskets on Amazon (ever notice how many of the brands just seem to be a random collection of letters?)
Depends on what it's made from, sometimes only certain parts of a relatively low grade thin stainless steel.
This is still very susceptible to chloride corrosion and I bet what we're seeing here is a vehicle which had a significant water leak from the cooling system which was being topped up weekly if not daily with straight tap water and no coolant.
I can't imagine how bad the rest of the system looks!
Congrats on the little one!
Thank you 👍😊
@@JustRolledIn I didn't realize the Jr Just Rolled In has Just Rolled Out! Congratulations, Sir! o7
@@cmdrclassified not yet but any day now! 😊
I've been watching your channel for a while now and i appreciate the fact that your videos are never too long, perfect amount of time for a couple minute break and watch something good. Loving the content.
I appreciate that! Thanks for being here.
The AC “thing” would have been my wife. And she would have been screaming at me for it.
Get out
@ Timmy Little-Happy life: No wife! ✌️🤣🤣
These people are older than me! How do these people not understand older cars?
This combined with the profile pic nearly made me spit out my cola.
There's this thing called an owners manual,it probably tells how to operate the a/c.
I am picking up a new air filter today, thanks for showing me how to fit it🤣😂😏
I love these videos, the air filter was funny!
I'm surprised it ran at all.
Love your content. Congratulations on the baby !
Thanks! Any day now 😃
The bell is probably a gremlin bell. They are very common on motorcycles. These bells are said to bring luck and protection
my thought was that the customer may have put it there themself to see if the shop actually did do a full inspection
Frame corrosion at 2:25 with only 19312km. That’s shoddy rust proofing from the factory.
That's cheap garbage steel that GM is using to save $$.
That’s Unprofessional Grade for you.
Oh man... That last clip reminds me of when I worked in a factory that makes transmission friction discs, they oil the discs prior to shipping with whatever kind of ATF they're going to be exposed to once installed in a transmission. One of the oilers that used to soak the discs popped a line, and I couldn't reach the emergency shutoff for the machine where the line was, I tried to kink the line by folding it in half and uh... Yeah that was stupid, the old rubber line burst and sprayed me from my ankles to my chin with Ford full synth ATF... I went home early that day...
HOW did you got home though... soaking your car with ATF would be even worse XD
@@Wayoutthere I always kept spare clothes handy on that job, otherwise I'd have ben driving home in my boxers.
If you were from New Joisey you could say you went home oily that day and you'd be right in 2 different ways... 🤣🤣
Reminds me of when my uncle was sick, went to the hospital and the Doctor put axle-grease on the bottoms of his feet. He went down hill fast after that. Dave in Omaha
In my 32 years as a mechanic. Dealerships. I never saw pre oiled friction discs. I always had to soak them before installation.
Me: meticulously maintains my 99 4Runner and feels/senses every little thing while driving.
These videos: I am going to rock your world!
I just started at a new shop where we have to empty our own drain barrels and I'm paranoid that I'm gonna be that guy at the end every time I have to empty it.
Just tell them you won't do it until you've been trained.
@@user2C47 I've already been doing it but it's still a paranoia that will always be there lol. Like the first time firing up an engine after major repairs. There's always that "what if?"
start with low air pressure and just have something weighing the hose down so it doesnt jump around. i set and forget mine, go chill on the couch in office until i hear it jiggling then pop the air line off and wait for it to depressurise before doing anything else. very easy to use. im more concerned about the wheels catching a stone and the tank tipping over 😅
Hopefuly the guy didn't have to wear that home.
Guy: "I honey, I'm home".
Wife: "Not anymore".
The glove box is awesome 🤣
Excellent again dude 👌
Have a great week 👍
Top right blue car is nice.
Absolutely eye popping! I have a nice idea for my glovebox closer to Xmas. 🍺
Yes! A much needed laugh and head scratching before getting my kiddos.
Haha drive safe my friend!! 👍
@@JustRolledIn always… it’s everyone else that scares me 😟
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite automotive channels now. To the point content with no BS - perfect. I’ve seen some dodgy things in my time, with heavy trucks and buses, but luckily nothing like the stuff in these videos.
All the best with the little one 👍
When my wife asks me why I don't try to fix our car to save money I just point to this channel.
In the words of Eric O from South Main Auto Channel. "If I can do it, you can do it".
Not only will you save money, but you'll also be using better quality parts than what some shops use.
@@woox200sx ya this is why i learned how to build and repair computers i'd be spending 1000s for excessively marked up cheaply made prebuilt machines otherwise. if i had a car i'd def put more time into learning all about them too.
Funny how the fixes of people who have watched some youtube vids can get more expensive to fix than the original problem xD
Oil changes & air filters are easy.
Other stuff requires much more understanding and practice.
The glove box doll’s house is gorgeous!
Glovebox was amazing.. First time seeing such good usage of it. Will bring smile for sure who ever opens it. I am pretty sure.
0:25 , I feel bad for the buyer of that clunker. I hope that KARMA comes back for the seller!
great reminder it’s worrh 80 or 100 bucks to have your mechanic look the car over before purchasing
There's a dealer where I live selling a Toyota Tacoma that looks great inside and out until you get under it and see a hole in the frame big enough to put an entire fat arm (or even a leg) through. The dealer wants 4900 for that worthless pos.
Yep and you can bet the seller hopped a curb going too fast and the reason for selling it. If the drive train was in better shape they could at least gotten something out of that..
clearly the glove box was to entertain anyone who opened it, absolutely priceless
I just love that glove compartment. It is so cute!
I wonder what that bell sounds like when you're driving. And the person who didn't take the plastic off of their air filter; some people are too stupid to own a vehicle.
Chances are the bell is a gremlin bell
Rain Man could drive circles around them.
Could have been installed by a high school kid working at one of those fast oil change places. Loose oil filters. Drain plugs. Wrong air filters. Mixed up fluids. You name it.
That first one, is the NEW ULTIMATE AIR suspension model.
Oh man, I feel for the guy getting oiled on.
A fellow soldier in the Army was trying to take an oil sample and the petcock snapped and covered him m from head to waist in 15w40 diesel engine oil.
At least he was doing it outside.
same, i used to deliver fuel oil and once when i pulled the hose off the trailer the line wasnt empty and o got soaked, not as bad as used motor oil but it still sucked
Been there and done that. Dumped an automatic transmission oil pan on myself. Soaked to the skin in automatic transmission oil. YUCK!
I'm convinced that the cars 🚗 don't suck, it's the owners that suck....
You could definitely be right on that lol
No joke, the customer abuse is beyond understanding.
That 2021 GMC Sierra is definitely the car. No customer has the power to suck that much
@@alimanski7941 unless they parked it right on a salt mound in the middle of winter.
The dude with the oil hose...that's when I go "Yep, time to go home for the day..."
@ 3.08 min. the GMC Sierra. here is my advice "On a cool quiet spring day, you can actually HEAR a Chevy rusting" 😂😂😂
I want to know more about that wheel?
Yeah I don’t know the whole story with that either
Here in the UK if the Police catch you with those front tyres, then your car is gone. Not to mention that you can be fined up to £2500 a wheel and your insurance company could void your policy.
what the hell 😳 I guess that's safe but damn
Blimey..2500 quid per bad tire or tyre as you lot spells it;)? I'm all for safety but that's rather excessive. Some states here have annual inspections; others like Michigan just collect the $ & turn people loose:/
Do the dictator monarchs still behead people who badmouth the royalty?
Good!
There in the UK if the police catch you with a butter knife outside your kitchen you get 25 to life
🤣 that bell on the HHR!
Man, I hate a lot about NY State, but I'm glad we have safety inspections
Lmao the air filter derp is always hilarious
At least he drained the oil outside the shop
😂
And the EPA is on the way... LOL 😂
Don't tell Greta 😄
Wish they made that Malibu/ chevelle still like that last picture! Great car
The worn out tire it is a hack!!! 😁 The steel belt provides extra traction in the winter...🤣🤣🤣
You guys are absolutely awesome, thank you for sharing what customers bring in for repairs. ..👍👍👍👍👍
You love how I can just buy inspections nowadays. That first car is nothing but a death trap.
And how much you want to make a bet he decline to get it fixed.
@@yogib37 There is no fixing that car. Its next destination is the scrapyard.
@@MrBirdnose Well, if the customer did refuse the repairs I think technically its next destination is the guard rail, THEN the scrapyard. ;)
@@jameshealy4594 guard rail 😂
Loving the glovebox!
Loved the interior of the glove box ... that is way cool.
Had a 8 year old F250 traded into a dealership I worked at with a service estimate that said it needed a new engine. I was hard to start, had no power and plastic on the air filter.
Should have said you'd buy it for a discount 😜
I know the title is "just rolled in" .. but damn, I do wonder how some of these roll in AT ALL
Gotta luv the guy at the end with the waste oil. I had that happen while trying to repair a hose leak on a 20 ton Grove crane. 3 inch suction hose was wrote up as a loose fitting. When I tried to tighten it, the steel li e collapsed and suddenly I had 300 gallons of oil coming as about 3 gallons a minute. Needless to say, I wasn't happy!
The bell could be a funny harmless joke.
Boy that glove compartment with the club penguin house gave me nostalgia
Love your videos. They just prove some people should not be allowed to drive or own a car.
A lot of these make me say wtf but that air filter was a good laugh. Maybe you shouldn't do your own maintenance 🤣🤔
He didn't do any maintenance, that was the problem...
@@artmallory970 evidently he changed his air filter and didnt remove the bag it comes in
That last guy gives new meaning to the phrase "working like a well oiled machine "!!🤣🤣
PS bin there myself
This shit just blows my mind! I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer and I've been wrenching for 50+ years! I can't imagine buying anything without giving it a thorough crawling over (and UNDER)! To think these things are on the road with us all the time and we don't know it! I run a dashcam all the time (everyone should have one) and I'm just waiting for one of them to crumble to dust at highway speed! Hope I don't get tangled up in it! 😠
The Subaru head gasket rust issue is caused by using the incorrect coolant, wrong coolant will act like corrosive and destroy the gasket. So always check owners manual for correct coolant to be used for any vehicles.
That's what I was thinking. From what the tech said it sounds like half was more than water 😅
My guess would be leaking rad or pump and it's just easier to keep topping it up with straight tap water... GAH!
that glove box is perfect! that’s giving me ideas lol
Makes my old 94 look that much better, 🇺🇸🍻
That glove box was a nice surprise.
When buying a vehicle a person should always do a safety inspection.
😂When selling a vehicle a person should always accurately describe it 😂
always take it to a trusted mechanic and put it on hoist to examine the underneath before buying
Oh that last one sucks lol. It's never happened to me with the oil drain, but once I forgot to close a valve of the transmission fluid machine and it looked like a murder scene
That oil filter was holding that whole car together. Hats off to that oil filter! Ha
Wonder what the condition of the oil was.
GMC 2021 siera to rust like that in one year.
It just shows the quality prep and coating the chassies gets at the factory.
I am so happy to live in a country where your vehicle must pass a mandatory inspection every 2 years (TÜV)
Especially since we have the no speed limit zones. Imagine the vibrations when he drives 200+ (kph) (regarding second clip)
A lot can happen in 2 years. We also have inspections every year or two in most of the country. But they are far from the rigorous inspections you guys go through. I know where I live if a frame( like the first clip) only had one of it's mounts rotted out it would pass still because the frame would be "held securely", so basically it didn't move when pulled on. We also pass tires if there is a visible tread pattern, no minimum thickness, just a visible pattern.
don’t worry, that mini van would top out at about 90 kph. I used to live in Germany and my E-klasse Combi failed its TÜV for a drip of oil on the rear diff seal. No oil leaks!
Europeans are so insufferable with their desire to give up personal responsibility and freedom in exchange for safety.
You must be in Germany. When I was living in Germany, new cars had a Technical Vehicle inspection good for 5 years and than that period would get shorter with each consecutive inspection. When my Mercedes was due for inspection, they put it on the lift, checked the steering for excessive play, checked the wheel bearings for the same, checked the tires for bold spots and tire wear, completely tore out the brakes checking the rotors and pad thickness. Checked for any leaks from brake lines, fuel lines and coolant. Checked the frame for any rust .If the car would fail any of those checks, they had to be corrected or you could not register it at all.
I live in NY and yearly inspections are a joke. Many mechanics only plug the OBD2 in for the codes without checking the rest of the car, if the car looks well kept. Others, if you throw them an extra $20, will look the other way and pass it as long as it doesn't have codes. Back in the Dyno days, some shops would keep a car on it and use that to pass other cars. Thankfully, the guy I go to actually checks the car. He's alerted me to small issues I could fix on my own before they became expensive problems.
1:44 That bell under the car suggests to me the owner is more than likely a biker. They are called gremlin bells and are attached t the lowest point of the bike and are said to protect the rider during their travels.
That poor bastard at the end. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Club Penguin in the glovebox is golden.
When metal head gaskets were new in motocycles, we took 'em apart for higher compression !! There were three "layers" assembled so it was easy. No rust made it easier !!
I’m in the HVAC business and can seriously relate. You just got to shake your head in disbelief or you’ll go crazy. Its one of our favorite things to share at trade conferences; photographs of all the idiotic crap out there. It’s a wonder more people aren’t dead ☠️
The bell made me chuckle and the diorama in the glove box was neat. The rest made my headache worse
Gotta love all the people watching and laugh along with the guy filming with his phone.
I wish they would make you to get your license have to be able to change your own tire and check your fluids. How hard is that to add to driver's ed. My father would not allow us to drive until we were able to change a tire but change it tire by ourselves and check all the fluids the fluids even look under the car once in a while to make sure there is no fluid leaking under there.
As of the last couple of years that's been the case for new drivers in the UK.
You have to know how to replace a flat with a spare or at least how to use the emergency tyre goop stuff newer cars now only get (for the most part) and also be able to identify which cap etc is what under the bonnet and what you should be filling each capped area with and how to check levels.
You can be sure that if you have a miss-hap your colleagues will always offer assistance by filming it.
the rusty new truck lol. we just put a bedside on a new colorado all the factory weld points were rusting and the inner panel was starting to scale rust already 4200 miles
Top quality American manufacture.
That bell had a nice ring to it though.
Great content…. Keep up the good work
Appreciate it 👍
Some people don't deserve to own cars.
In the AF we had our own version of this with pilot 'gripes' in the logbook. You would occasionally see corrections by the mechanic written up in a humorous manner ... Pilot: Radio ions. Maintenance: Radio will not work in the "OFF" position. Pilot: Evidence of hydraulic leak on nose strut. Maintenance: Removed Evidence ... etc.
A lot of shops offer pre purchase vehicle inspections at pretty reasonable price. It’s amazing what you’ll find just getting a good look underneath. $100 might save you $1000s not to mention if it’s something simple like brakes you can negotiate on the price. I even take my vehicle in for the inspection a 1000 miles are so before the factory warranty is up. The last time they found a small oil leak that ended up being $1400 to fix. Would have never known and my warranty would have been up.
So, there are some intelligent people about then.
Kudos.
My nephew took a Subaru he was looking to buy to a shop for an inspection. They did a very good though job. Even videoed the inspection. He bought the car because everything was good. No problems were found. About 3 months later he took it to the same shop for an oil change. They told him it needed new inner and outer tie rods. No it didn't.
