    When someone brings a car to be fixed like that filthy hoarder car, ask them to clean out their garbage first. No one should put up with that and if you do it for customer relations, yeah, you don't need this kind of customer.

      I used to work at a car wash. Had a woman come in in a Prius. She had so much crap in her car that only the driver's seat could be used, and there was so much weight that it was too low to fit onto the conveyor.
      We directed her to our dumpster in hopes that removing the trash would lighten it enough for her car to get washed. She sat there for 8 hours, didn't throw out a single item.

    10:40 I actually had something like this happen to me. Had my oil changed at a shop and they didn't tighten the drain plug back in right. The next week it popped out on the highway when I was 200 miles away from home. The shop owner ended up bringing a trailer out and towing my car back to his shop so they could replace my destroyed engine.

    8:09 That's how the brakes on my 86 LeBaron turbo convertible looked after driving several months having to downshift to slow down. Shop said there was only 1 pad doing ANY work, and in all his years as a mechanic, he'd never seen brakes as bad as mine. He actually hung one of what was left of a rotor on the wall in his shop.

So I pulled over in a Burger King parking lot and looked at the roof xD the clear coat was just shedding off and flying all over the place apparently. Oh well.

      More of that, recent combustion engines are too complex for diy repairs.
      I like driving combustion cars though, but I see clearly that they will become extinct soon for usual customer.

    6:55 - it looks like someone put motor oil in the master cylinder for the brake. Once upon a time, in Cincinnati Ohio, someone did this to a 20,000 pound armored car (Metropolitan Armored Car, later called AT Systems). A second armored car had to get in front of the one with no brakes and help it to stop, all the way back to the company's local garage / headquarters building.

Luckily the can missed us. It was like a missile and didn’t realize what it was until it sprayed.

    1:15 is that oil in the coolant res?

      I would say a mixture of oil and coolant. Likely an oil cooler leaking in the radiator. Or a blown head gasket.

    The blown muffler is an ignition problem.

    I'm not mechanical. I know that there is something very wrong in practically every one of theses vids, but sometimes I don't know exactly what. 4:54 is a good example. Like I know it should have a fluid in there for lubrication and heat reduction, but was that all? I'm not sure.

      That area actually is supposed to be dry. What it looks like to me is a thrust bearing went out in the engine, the crankshaft has way too much endplay. The excess movement allowed the flywheel to break the clutch and punch a hole in the front of the transmission.
