      @@georgelamprinos2960 In some cases, yes. Most accidents are cause by "stupidity" (i.e. mistakes). Every case is different but I think in THIS particular case insurance would cover this possible engine replacement. They aren't covering his 'mistake' by running the engine with no oil. The incident was the 'collision' that caused the damage to the oil pan and subsequent damage to the engine. So in this case I'd say as long as that customer had collision and comprehensive coverage he should be covered by insurance.

    My brother in law’s uncle has a cabin up there. I got stuck in the snow the same way the pickup and Morrvair both got stuck. There are deep drainage ditches that get covered in the snow. You don’t see the ditch until your front wheels drop down into it. I got pulled out by my brother in law’s cousin. Put my chains on and had no more problems knowing not to park in the ditch. Had a great weekend at the cabin riding snowmobiles.

      It may be harsh, but it's true. The world is over populated. Maybe Scrooge is on to something:
      "Decrease the surplus population"
      Common sense just doesn't seem very common any longer. I refer to it as (not so) common sense.
      Over complex electronic nanny's, and overly complex (that should be simple) mechanical machinery is also 'job security' for me.

    I live Quebec Canada, i have lived my whole life(61years) in lots of snow every winter, you can’t drive in snow like you do in sand or anything else, snow when heated by friction of your tire will become ice, it means if you are stuck you can’t just spin your wheels, the trick is to rock the boat, which means: a bit the opposite way you where going until you feel it starts spinning and brake and then the other way and so on back and forth to create a motion without spinning as much as possible

      I would liken it to sloshing water in the bathtub. You want to get the slosh going so that you can build up momentum in the ruts that you're building even if they're icy you should be able to build up enough momentum to pop yourself up and out of them or dig them to something firmer. If you don't rock it you're not rolling it. The other problem is most people that drive automatics don't understand that the 1 and the 2 are for getting out of those exact types of situations. Of course I have a stick and those are just awesome for getting those situations because you can shift quick enough between forward and reverse.

Its too bad someone didn't stop him before he got into trouble. I like how nicely you treated him. He could also face a huge bill from the rental company for driving it off road as his fault, maybe on their no rental list.

Nothing overly technical which other videos offer, but simple descriptions of why you use the approaches you do.

    Great video, have to say I was concerned for your safety as it was necessary to take up a position on or across the road while using the winch. As a former Peace officer I alway see situations for the risk factors. You were there so I'm sure you access you situation. That said wouldn't it be safer to have either temporary flashing lights or some permanent lights that could enhance visibility, I know our light bars could add white light at night for lighting up the area, and or flashing lights to warn approaching traffic. In your kit you ould have pylons,flares, high visibly traffic vest, etc. My main concern has to be a warning light system. They can even be set up internally to flash when on road where an inattentive diver could hit you, an employee or your beloved Morvair and banana. Thanks for the content keep up the great service you all provide.

    And those who told you to look in the owners manual were right;) . With push button think if it like a key. First you put it in slot one then you move the key accessory mode third move starts. It’s the same concept but just a button instead of a key. Don’t touch the brake on push buttons and they don’t start. The owners manual would of told you how to put in accessory mode also since you didn’t know. When you said I don’t know to put in it that mode… look up that mode😂.

    If the Morrvair got stuck then the truck had no chance at all to save itself. I was thinking the weird noise @12:53 was going to be another issue to deal with before the truck recovery even got started. I wonder if Matt will dress as Santa? Then again it might be an adult party. Either way I hope everyone enjoys themselves. It would be cool of Matt if he gave Lizzy a Christmas bonus. She can handle any task and I think she has been there the longest. I hope you all (viewers included) have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year. ---Anyone else cold? It's -4 degrees here in the hills and valleys of SE Ohio with a wind chill of -22 degrees. Matt might even need a coat for a recovery here right now. As usual a small rock chip in my windshield turned into a growing crack every time I am forced to turn the defroster on. I could find a truck hauling gravel and get his plate number and claim one of his gravels hit it. Here in Ohio if something off a truck breaks your windshield then they are at fault. If something is on the road and a truck/car slings it into the windshield and breaks it then your insurance has to pay. Deer hits are similar, if you call your insurance and tell them you hit a deer then you have to pay a deductible the same as a collision. But if you tell them the deer ran into you then you don't.
