Each photo & video described.
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 The technician said it most likely just needed a head gasket when he first realized there was coolant in the engine oil, but now it'll need a new engine or a rebuild. Will give an update on this clip in a future video if we get any more information, clips, or photos.
0:27 A bullet went through a brake rotor on this customer's vehicle. The customer never mentioned how this happened and the technician said he brushed it off when he asked. He got new rotors, pads, and an oil change.
0:37 What you see is a window A/C unit that the customer jerry-rigged into the cab of his truck. The technician said he was surprised since the truck is fairly new and has working A/C. But the technician thinks that the customer may be sleeping in his truck and wants to have A/C without having the vehicle running.
0:52 The technician said the speedometer issue was that it got stuck at 25 mph / 40 km/h and she took it for a test drive to verify the complaint. Either way the truck had a lot more issues, like the airbag light being on, coolant leaks, a misfire, and a whole lot more. She was surprised that the customer didn't mention anything about a vibration.
1:08 From what I've read online, "buy now pay later" dealerships or dealerships that offer car loans for people with a low line of credit, will install these just in case the owner stops making payments on the vehicle. They can also have a GPS built in to track the vehicle so they can tow/take it back.
1:23 It was on a GMC Sierra. The technician said it had a lot more issues, like the brakes not working properly and numerous electrical problems.
1:34 It will need new outer tie rods and other front-end components (technician didn't mention exactly what). The truck must have driven terribly on the highway.
1:46 Ford Fusion. No extra info.
1:55 The tailpipe was bent due to the customer backing into something. A restricted exhaust prevents the engine from breathing properly, which is the easiest way to explain it. That's why the customer had a lack of power and it felt "slow".
2:06 The technician said: "Itâs a 2015 GMC 3500 chassis 20-passenger bus. No story just maniacs it driving on very rough roads. I assume they hit a rock. Usually, we see holes in diff covers and oil pans and so on but this oil pan, in particular, fared worse than the rest."
2:14 The technician said: "This was a couple months ago. I know one was the front seat track position sensors & I believe the other was for the front door latch."
2:23 The technician said: "It was in a crash and someone thought it would be smart to try and weld the control arms to the subframe(yes that is a hole in the subframe)."
2:36 Brakes were metal to metal on the front and leaking brake fluid from the driver-side front brake caliper. The truck got towed up the hill and the brakes were fixed on it. The truck has an automatic transmission so the technician isn't sure why he didn't put it in park when he started to roll.
2:52 "I have a BMW M5 in the US, so when I visited England I wanted to rent the same car so I'd be familiar. With the exception of the driver's side on the opposite side, it was the exact same. I am so accustomed to using the voice command function in my car that I started to try and use it from the moment I picked it up. I literally tried to use it for 2 days unsuccessfully and then I was like... OMG, what if I tried to speak like the owner and see if that works?! It did."

So freaking unbelievable. I shake my head in disbelief in what some people actually do here and still bring their car in for repairs.

@@davepelfrey3958 Not Me. I use to work with a guy years ago and we both use to talk about crazy stuff like this. He said people like that use to not live long because they got injured and died. Problem is now medical technology keeps bringing them back. Of course after the past 2 years I'm not sure about that anymore.
@@davepelfrey3958 I blame the investigative reporters sowing discontent and suspicion for a living in the light of a tiny drop light at the expense of many trained, capable, and sincere techs and mechanics, no matter the sales mission to keep the lights on and enrich while ignoring dedicated effort and expectation of fairness.
That last clip had me dying laughing. I worked with a guy from China, he was always complaining that none of the voice activated things could understand him, including the automated call systems he had to deal with. I don't think he had much of an accent personally, but Alexa didn't agree.
Lol my father has the same issue! He has a dutch accent that some technology can't understand.
Edit - here is the original last clip unedited viralhog.com/v?t=p2lwscewdc&&page=1
I just cut the clip since it was 30 seconds long.

They don't care much for Southern US accents either! đ
I can't stand talking to machines. I refuse to do it unless mandatory.
@@JustRolledIn Hey, your dad is dutch. I'm from the Netherlands too. Versta je ook wat Nederlands?
@@81cb750fss Especially the local accent in rural Floyd County VA! I was dying laughing watching a friend of a friend try use a voice controlled TV remote. "Darned things broke!" haha
I work in IT. Many years ago (before Alexa etc.), we installed voice recognition software on a PC. In training mode, we could never get it above 80% accuracy. One of the techs used a stereotypical Indian voice (think Apu from Simpsons). Accuracy shot up to 98%.
i know alexa and new stuff uses ted talks as the training data. so idk
I saw a video showcasing voice controls in a PlayStation game where it never recognize the commands in a "normal" American accent. When they tried it with an exaggerated Japanese accent it worked just fine
Today you and the PC would be considered racist.
This is also a problem with facial recognition. The population used for training is very important to consider.
Doh!
"Since his were shot."
And with that, you win the internet for the month.

Yeah that's a good dad joke.
Almost every snippet in this video is a gem. Wonderful collection again!

There is a woman who is a regular shopper at a store I used to work at. You can easily tell that there is something off with how she acts, but when I saw her car one day I realized how bad it was. Her car interior is completely jampacked with all sorts of random things. Total hoarder den, but in a car. Just enough space for her to get in and drive it. No space for any passengers.
Really scary and really sad how some people get like that.
My cars for crap but it's usually not garbage I don't smoke but I don't leave dead food wrappers and half-eaten Birds on my Dash and except for bugs that get in the open window there's no Critters living in it
Just recently got my car from that to perfectly clean, people like me need help so they can work on themselves and get their life back under control.
Thank you detailers/cleanup crew havenât touched a single drop of alcohol, donât have a single crumb in my car and am on the right track to get better all thanks to you guys
That GPS only listening to the accent has me laughing in real life! đ€Łđ€Ł

It's like the Monty Python cheese shop sketch.
OI'D LOIK TO BOI SOME CHEEEESE

Try it with a Aberdonian accent. Alexa and Siri are mostly useless. About a quarter of requests are close.
@@McStebb I don't remember seeing Mr Gumby in the Cheese Shop sketch, and Cleese's accent is a lot more cultured than that.
2:30 that's a very generous use of the word "welded"
That video with the BMW voice control cracked me up!
Me 2 dude
2:44 well I hope that he yelled FORE to warn the golfers LOL
That was below par.
Probably still blames the garage for it though.
I almost died laughing when I saw the window đȘ AC unit in the box of that pickup. Reminds me of a few years ago camping. Some creative person cut the fabric on their pop up and had a wood platform built with a window AC unit to cool the camper. I have to admit..pretty crafty. The plastic on the oil filter made me cry with laughter. I am almost certain you cannot cure stupid.
Ron White â stupid is forever â
It's called Hillbilly engineering.
Especialy when stupid is amplified by a dose of"I know better than the pro" and "I'll do it myself and show them!" Stupid people don't know they're stupid....worse yet, they think they're smarter than you.
These car AC mods are extremely common.
down here in alabama we have a saying.... stupid is, as stupid does
That last one is truly hilarious, I've never traveled abroad but I would have never guessed that that accents would matter with voice recognition.
My parents are first-generation immigrants. Theyâve lived here longer than they ever lived in their homeland, but VC stuff doesnât work for them unless they set it to match their accent.
Iâd imagine thereâs a UK setting and a separate US setting
Voice recognition needs to be trained. Some of that training is done by the programming team (because it would take too long for the end user) and the final part of it is supposed to be done by the end user to tailor the recognition to them.
The problem is that if the accents of the people who do the initial training are different to the end user then the algorithm can't refine itself to listen for the end user because it is listening for specific vocal patterns to whatever region the devs were in.
i am from bavaria /germany and i once had a voice recognitioned navigation system.. it didnt unterstand me until i switched from my heavy bavarian accent into high german. took me awhile to find out :)
Between the automatic immobilizer for missed payments, the truck rolling into the golf course and the goofy GPS at the very end this was probably the funniest video yet.
That last clip was the funniest I've seen & heard on this channel. That's just killer.
As a mechanic I have to admit, with some finishing touches the build-in ac unit was neat as heck. I am curios though how it gets powered
Can't imagine what happens when the bed and frame flex separately from the cab... đ
Petrol generator ?
That one with the accent had me roll-in XD
Many Americans weirdly think they don't speak with an accent, so they just can't understand why someone (or some voice-recognition software), can't recognise what they are saying!
As an Aussie, I more often find English regional accents easier to follow than some American ones!
This takes the meanings of "drive it like you stole it" and " ride it till the wheels fall off" to a whole new meaning lol.
The last clip was priceless đ€Ł
I love the lotus Elise. One of my favorite carsâŠ
Omg the Beamer navigation!! Iâm dead!! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
They are nice! I actually saw one yesterday.
@@JustRolledIn awww! Iâm jealous. The last one I saw they were doing a B20 swap in it- trailered. Gorgeous car either way.
Too bad it has a Toyota engine...
The navigation requiring an accent reminded me of what happened at my work one day. Co-worker 1 had a fairly thick Spanish accent, while co-worker 2 was from England. Sitting together, co-worker 1 said some word, and co-worker 2 couldn't figure it out. I simply spoke the word in my normal Midwestern US accent and they got it. All three of us had a good chuckle about the situation!
So many great DIY tips in this one... spray foam to seal in AC unit.... rope to hold battery in place! Lol
Thanks for another great video đč đ đ
Youâve already cut a big hole and ruined your truck so at that point whatâs wrong with spray foam?
Well, these are extremes, but "redneck repairs" on minor things can save you a lot of time and maybe some money as well. My battery is held in place by a generic hardware store steel bracket, sleeved with a piece of rubber hose as vibration dampener / insulator, just because the original bracket broke twice and it's very hard to find.
I understand the auctions are as-is/as-seen but isn't the sort of stuff such as the welded control arms in this case still seen as illegal? I.e. defect masking/purposefully hidden damage of sorts
Definitely is illegal
YES. THEY CAN BE SUED.
Some auctions will give you X amount of days to return the vehicle i've heard.
They can inspect the cars at the auction.
It probably showed up that way....
Damn,that will get u caught up on your car payments real quick đđđ
Just remove it
Isn't that awful. Having to pay car payments and having other people in control to disable "your" car. Better to have an old car that you fully own.
@@coreybabcock2023, that also removes the loan. (UCC 1-309). So if someone snips the wires, the lender snips the loan agreement. After that the customer has 10 days to satisfy the loan, down to the penny, otherwise they keep the car, the down payment, any payments made up until that point, and if they traded-in a vehicle at the time of purchase, they keep the trade-in too.
@@vivillager Is that crap really in loan agreements these days? The buyers seemed like they didn't even know about it!
@@howard9060, I just had to deal with that about a week ago. An account that I've had trouble in the past stopped responding as the due date approached. So once I repossessed it, I just checked the function, verified that it had been tampered with and documented my findings. I don't have to, the burden is not mine, but hers, but I like to be thorough. She did show up with the past due amount, but I can't be wasting my time chasing her over and over and over when I've got a business to run. So while it might seem harsh, I declined, and told her to come up with the full amount, otherwise I'll just keep the car. She seemed indifferent, despite having invested about 3 grand into a 6k loan. No skin off my teeth, a few more days and I'll just sell it again.
That lotus reminds me of a relatively common error to make of forgetting to remove the film from a CPU heat sink before installing

@@RealMTBAddict cheers... Fucking autocorrect đ€Š
As a retired mechanic, this brought back sooooo many memories!
Would you support the idea of a mandatory general inspection of a car, every two years and for new cars after the first purchase three years, then continue with every two years?
@@DavidLangeYU91 Absolutely I would! When I was a kid we had to have yearly safety inspections even on the clunkers I used to drive (58 Willy pickup). They got rid of the safety program and introduced the "Emissions program" . Why they didn't keep them as a package I don't know (money, politics, etc.) but having seen the things many mechanics see roll in, I am a true believer in maintaining your vehicles safe operation. Been dealing with vehicles (first motorcycle, then automotive, then heavy truck/ equipment) since the late 60's / early 70's it sometimes scares me to see what is rolling down the road. I do to keep my family, my neighbors, and everyone else as safe as I can.
@DimebagVision That's not communism, its keeping idiots like you from driving POS's that they won't maintain for safe driving thus endangering everyone else on the road.
@@DavidLangeYU91 In the UK we have had yearly inspections since 1960. At first it was for vehicles over 10 years old, however by 1967 it had changed to 3 years old and older. Almost every vehicle from the 3rd aniversary of it's first going on the road is subject to annual inspection by a Goverment authorised mechanic, at an Authorised Testing Garage. All test results, even failed tests, are on a Government database and if your test has expired it's impossible to renew the annual vehicle licence. Anyone caught using an un-tested vehicle, it costs you serious fines and penalty points on your driving licence, and, if it's in seriously bad condition (like the Auction car shown here) the vehicle can be seized and crushed. The test also includes emissions testing. The state of some of the US cars shown in these videos could get the drivers serious cash fines or worse. As for the Auction vehicle in this clip, here in the UK all known defects must be declared before sale and, any Auction house selling a car in that condition would probably get prosecuted. If a car is listed and sold with defects noted, the car can only be removed from the sale on a trailer and would have to pass an official inspection after repair before it could go back on the road. All testing stations are now required to have video recording of the tests carried out and the tests are monitored. The Mechanics who carry out the testing must pass exams and be certified competant to carry out the inspections. Also, regular spot checks are carried out on the garages, any drop in the required standard, the garage licence to test is immediately cancelled and, once kicked off it's virtually impossible to get back on the approved list. People used to cry about it but now it's just something you do to keep the roads safer. We hear a lot about The People's Rights in the US not being infringed. Over here we also think it's everyones right Not to be Killed by someone driving a car that's not fit to be on the road.
0:42 I see this as a win for the customer. Anyone who has dealt with a repair shop over a vehicles A/C would agree.
Probably way cheaper to maintain and replace.
More than likely he is using a shore power of some kind to not run the engine when "camped" somewhere.
That AC fix probably only cost the guy less than 300 bucks. Fixing the truck AC would have been over 1000. Seems smart to me!
@Joshua Coleman As Jeremy Clarkson once said
"If you aren't worried about the second hand value of your car, It's so liberating!"
Perhaps it didn't have an AC to start with. I remember that 20 years ago it was optional in most cars, at least in Poland. It should be possible to install an AC in a car that doesn't have it especially if it was an option, but if the car is old and ugly anyway just cutting a hole and gluing a window unit AC in could be cheaper. Powering it though will not make your alternator happy and can drain your battery while driving, and you need a really high power inverter (1-3kW at least, don't know the specs of that AC unit). It's great for camping or pre-cooling your car when parked though, using wall power from somewhere as @Flying Family mentioned. I have nothing against "ugly" mods if you don't plan to sell the car or you can justify it as an added value (of course if it won't make the car dangerous to use). It's not like it's a collector's item, its only value is that it does its job.
Top lolz on the voice activation. That was pretty good.
the AC unit, I mean as long as its wired good and the inverter sized correctly is maybe one of the safer vehicle mods seen on this page.
Salute to all mechanics who have thrown a hat or two out of anger.đșđžđ»đ»đ
One of my co-workers kicked the door to his workbench off in anger last week. Ford made the design the front of the particular engine he was working on to basically require 4 arms in order to put on a new belt. Our combined efforts eventually got the belt on there but it took about half an hour and multiple attempts to do it.
@@alexwalker2582 I said salute for the hat throw. Not 21 gun salute a work area.đ€Łđđ€Łđ but yes ford is nuts,
You spelled "wrench or two" wrong.
I was a VW dealer service tech in the early 2000âs. We had a customer with a 2001 GTI who raised total hell about having to pay for an oil change (5, 10, and 20K were free). He decided to do his own oil changes after that.
Part 2 of the story is I did side work evenings and Saturdays for an independent shop a couple miles away. One Saturday the aforementioned customers car was at our shop, with a complaint about the motor knocking. Quick diagnosis, the guy did his own oil change and didnât remove the cellophane wrapper from the oil filter element. Just jammed it into the filter housing.
We swapped another (used) motor into the car over a weekend and shipped it. Owner traded the car back in at the dealership where I worked and didnât tell anybody anything. Iâd have to guess he didnât try to do his own oil changes any more after that
0:23 forbidden Fleshlight
The AC and the directions had me HOLLERING! đ€Ł
That last clip feels like something out of a sitcom. Im dying laughing đ
All these videos are reasons I don't work on peoples cars anymore. Opening my own shop for fleet maintenance on equipment and small engines was the best choice I ever made.
I know nothing about vehicle servicing. How often did you get vehicles that could feature on this channel and how often did those customers refuse repairs?
@@Sashazur kinda a rare occurrence that a car comes in that's so extreme it would make it on here. Notice I said "kinda rare". But people refusing service on stuff that really needs to be done. Almost every day. Some days several times a day. The stigma behind that is the general public just thinks mechanics recommend service just because they're trying to rip them off. Or they don't have the money. And if it's followed by a bunch of questions they will usually try to take it home and do it their self and 90% of the time they ferk it up even worse. And then the question is "how much is it gonna cost" Now owning my own shop for construction and landscaping equipment the only question I get asked is. "When can you get it done" and they don't care what's wrong with it, and as long as it works when they get it back they don't care how much it costs. It's way better. I hate people and their stupid azz cars. Give me a skid steer, zero turn or stump grinder any day of the week. There is so much dumb BS being an auto mechanic for customers cars. It's mind numbing.
â@@worldssickestmedia2713 It kinda sounds like people's relationships with general contractors. I was planning on being one after working with my uncle for 5 years (he's a general contractor) but after seeing the stuff they put him through I could never do it. Customers are a nightmare, constantly changing their minds, bitching, and expecting the impossible with very little budget. Meanwhile plumbers, HVAC, and electricians have far less to worry about and often make twice as much- which sounds a lot like what you're doing in that the more specialized you are it seems the less customers can complain about. Nobody thinks twice about paying an HVAC repairman $300 an hour to install a simple $5 part but they will call a mechanic a scammer if they charge $300 for a job that takes 2 hours and requires a $150 part.
I used to fix cars as a side gig and aspired to start my own shop or possibly get in with a dealership or shop as a techâŠneither happened, but probably for the better. Some of the dumbest things I had ever seen were from working directly for car owners or for shop owners who had a car or two their techs couldnât figure out (like a âcomplex computer problemâ that turned out to be a fuel tank full of waterâŠno kidding!) That and the money and quality of customer really dried up after the 2008 recession. Meanwhile, established shops upped their rates and finding a decent one was almost impossible. I try to do my own work whenever possible, but when visiting a shop, I just want to know if it is fixed, I donât care as much what it cost or if I could have done it myself. Iâve done it myself before and can fix most problems, what I canât fix is my temper when a nosey neighbor or family member who thinks they know better shows up, doesnât help and inadvertently starts WWIII with the police called and everything else. Then, itâs always cheaper to just go to a shop, even if they charge a lot. Itâs good to work on construction equipment since people in business tend to be more reasonable than a typical auto owner.
There needs to be a F150 Dixie Edition where the voice commands will only respond if you talk in a Deliverance southern drawl. This needs to happen.

The last one was funny as hell. I couldnât stop laughing. đ
Had a similar thing to the oil filter with a plumbed-in ceramic drinking water filter I grabbed from a builder's skip for the scrap brass. The filter element inside was still double-wrapped in plastic complete with the remains of the instruction sheet. From clues it had been installed over 20 years ago.
I just did something similar with a steering pump it had a small rubber cap on one of the new lines and I put it together knowing it needed to be removed first, but in a hurry . I remembered right quick when I started it and it threw the fluid out the top of the reservoir. DOH!

That last one cracked me up because of a similar issue I had with a Cardo bluetooth unit in my moto helmet. Had to change the language from US English to UK English for it to understand my Aussie accent!
Keep'em rolling in. I laugh and laughter is the best medicine.
The guy with the Lotus probably had the biggest "oh wtf" moment
that last clip is great, almost reminds me of Jeremy Clark doing the Iraqi restaurant in the c5 corvette.
The navigation clip at the end was just crazy awesome!
"his brakes were *shot* " was way funnier than it needed to be
When you post the day gets better
Thanks, James!
That oil filter clip is just madness. If you own a Lotus surely you want a trained mechanic to service and inspect it? Someone used to that car will look for signs of things starting to go wrong way before they get troublesome. I guess the owner has now learnt an expensive lesson.
As always Iâm loving these videos! đș
The oil filter part the owner was a complete idiot. He had no business working on any engine. I have worked on all my vehicles for 35 years. Rarely have I "Needed" a technician. Now if I pay to get something done its because I'm just lazy, but even then I tell them EXACTLY what I want done. I don't want them to look at ANYTHING that I don't tell them to. Most mechanics WILL rip you off given the opportunity. Mechanics help people like me because I do in fact know cars and motorcycles. So they can't BS me in to paying for something that not needed. This- "Someone used to that car will look for signs of things starting to go wrong way before they get troublesome" is begging for someone to rip you off.
If I owned a Lotus I would only want myself to touch it because I take more care and know more than the average service tech. But some people should never touch their own cars!
Honestly there's not much to an Elise they're very simple
@@carmadme But you still have to unwrap their oil filters before installing them.

This is the result of having everything done for you, given too you, or paying your way out of problems instead of doing it yourself
I deal with a lot of loaner company vehicles and they all have these immobilizer things in them. Every time I needed to start one of their vehicles I had to contact the company and have them send a remote enable command. Sometimes this would take half an hour or more and I ainât got time for that crap. I got so fed up with it that I took the time to pull one apart, figure out how it works, and now I know how to bypass their stupid immobilizer in under a minute.
Local workshop in my city has sign on wall, all alarms and immobilizers must be disabled prior to dropping off vehicle.

I was born and raised in California. Decades ago I worked as a shuttle bus driver for a hotel near LAX. Once when a gentleman took a seat in my bus I asked him what airline he needed to go to, he replied "Peen Eem" very quickly. I said I didn't quite get that, and he said again "Peen Eem." After a couple rounds of my apologizing for not understanding him, he finally said slowly"...Oh, oh, OK, Paaan Aaam." He had to work really hard at it though... Guess he was from Joisy. We laughed about it, all's well that ends well!
I've said it before and I say it again that some people have absolutely no business owning an automobile!
that last one is GOLD
Back in the 80s we lived in Paris, France. My dad was a Renault BMW dealership sales manager. We had had a BMW 7 series like that one at the endl only black, I believe it was an 86 or 87. The dealership also had a service contract to repair and service the PTT (postal service) They used the Renault 4 like the ones in the picture at the end but they were sand color like the military Humvees lol.
That's one posh bimmer
@1:21 i wonder how legal this is, i know car dealerships dont write loans, but they often become liable for loans if the loanholder cant make 3 months of payments or somethin like that, so I guess that is why this is there?
That last clip killed me XD
iâm liking the videos with wholesome end clips
Love the AMC Gremlin at the end. Someone my brother went to high school with bought one brand new. 304 v8 3 spd. floor shift headers and traction bars. He embarrassed a lot of Camaro and Chevelle owners.
My brother had a Hornet with a 304. A sleeper car.
Car payment would have been cheaper than the shop charge....
One car payment probably, but they missed multiple payments.
for sure ur best video in the past week L0L
the amount of times the brakes have been shot on this channel is higher than I thought. Always funny though.
When I worked at a Chevy dealer near Cleveland Ohio. Another Chevy dealer nearer the city closed up. So we got their customers. Started seeing some cars that were literally shot! I thought that they were decals at first. Nope.
The last clip demonstrates that the car has intelligence, whoâd want to go anywhere near Manchester? đ€·đŒââïž
Well, he's going to the airport to escape!
And here I am seriously questioning if a drain interval of 5,000 miles is too long while other people in these videos go near 20,000 miles per oil change.
I struggle with 5k as well, then some of these people doing 20k is insane lol.
I just got the calculator out and read the faded biro on my headliner....
Ive done 10300kms on my new engine .... i forgot to change it while we wre doing 400kms a day to switch locations.
Its a toyoter....its good for another 10k!
Yes!!! an Opel Manta in the outtro! (the yellow one) I love it!
the last clip like "Jesus thank the stars and stripes that's the last time i have to say that" đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
That first clip, man! You realize that coolant in there implies a bad head gasket to begin with; I'm just hoping (a little) they manage to save that engine!
Why so he can ruin it again? Dude should be driving a Prius.
@@gregoryjohnson9733 Or pushing something else.
@@gregoryjohnson9733 maybe taking Uber for life.
Nah I hope the engine is ruined. Such people don't learn the easy way so make it hard for them to forget.
It was common on the engines they used on the Elise. Fixed with an upgraded gasket, usually went because they were thrashed when cold.
OMG the last one is priceless!!! đ€Ł
The wall rattler air con cut into the truck. That guy is an ideas man. đ€Łđđ€Łđđ
It's pretty obvious he smokes his Newports on the outside patio at Burger King while running his online based mobile internet business using their free Wifi, bruh...
you will sucess as investigator đ€Ł
Imagine having credit so bad that somebody who sells your car installs a immobilizer on it
because they know youâre a deadbeat- yikes
No that is a buy here pay here place, for people whose credit is so bad they cannot get a car from anyplace else. And they put those immobilizers on every car they sale. Makes it a lot easier to repo it from a parking lot rather than someones driveway.
@@kenlee74 This has to be some kind of "only in the US" phenomenon.
@@logitech4873 Probably
That last clip hahahaha. Imagine Chinese people riding horses in California and then jokingly saying the horses donât listen unless when we speak with an American accent hahahaha hilarious gotta love it
I've heard that many police K9's are trained using Dutch so a perp can't give it commands.
@@maxwellcrazycat9204 yes very true! Now dogs and horses are predators vs prey so the difference is so immense there is not comparison. Similar training tactics for voice commands like getting the horse to Run we have to say the Trot or canter word and stop have to say woah or hoe then reinforce if they donât listen
So amusing ,And very ingenious how they figure out a solution ATM fixing mecanic problems, that ac inside pickup very cool
One trick I always us when assessing new tenants for one of my rentals is too look inside their car whilst they are viewing the property. If their car is in a similar state to the one is this video then they fail the test. Why would I rent to somebody who lives like a slob?
Ya good trick I do this too
0:43 Even If it is Jerry Rigged, I still give props to the guy, because it is still road safe, and as long as it works then that's all that matters
Road safe might be a bit of a stretch, if that thing gets loose in a crash it's not going to end well
@@DjDolHaus86 Well, maybe but I hope it doesn't get loose or something, no one deserves that. Maybe if he actually made sure it was super duper secure than just maybe it would be Road Safe. I could be wrong though.
@@shepshepson I'm sure it's fine for normal service but unless it was braced to something structural I just wouldn't trust it in the case of an accident. Its sort of like a toolbox in the back of your car, its fine until you come to a sudden stop and the toolbox carries on at the same speed you were previously travelling on a collision course with the back of your head.
Enjoyed the vid, Happy Labor day weekend Pal
You as well my friend đ
Last clip, it's all in the inflection! Good job mate!
I wanna see one in Cockney or Strine ... :)
@@josepherhardt164 You taking the piss ? Cockneys don't have an accent, that's just a London accent. Cockneys are just morons who used 7 words when one will do. And i'm from London and sound just like they do except i don't use their stupid language.
A BMW requiring you to say the like bri'ish to work the navigation? ridiculous.
TRIFE ME TO ZE GOTTVERDAMMTE AIRPORT.
Virtually nothing stresses me out or upsets my inner harmony, but watching these videos seriously starts to trigger what I've heard others describe as anxiety within me. I can't imagine being so stupid or neglectful.
That last clip. đ€Ł
that last clip is absolutely hilarious
The voice control navigation reminds me when my kid was little and demanding a push on the swings I would ask for her to use "proper british manners"; whereby, instead of just screaming "push ME, push ME", I would expect her to use as many unnecessary words as possible to get the same result. ie: something to the effect of saying "Pardon me khind sir, if you wouldn't mind so graciously giving me a slight forward momentum assistance in physics whilst I should glide with ease and shriek with glee at the exuberance potential of this chain guided playground device, khind gentleman fatherly figure, sir?"
I think you would get a kick out of the âstrange planetâ comics.

That last clip!! đđ€Łđ
Hilarious đ.
Thank you.
1:09 I install starter interrupters on everything I sell, and I have to say, man, the one pictured here is huge. And why they install it in the engine bay? One, it's easy to spot as soon as someone pops the hood. Two, from experience, these things will fail when subjected to heat, like the kind of heat generated in an engine compartment. In my opinion, better place would be in the passenger compartment, where it's cooler, isolated from the humidity during rain, and still within reach of the wiring necessary to start the car.
It a shame that you even feel you should do this. Just donât sell someone a vehicle. How would like it if I installed circuit breakers that turned and stayed off it you donât pay me.
There are a ton of people who don't know anything about vehicles, like what should and should not be under the hood and what those things should look like, so it's easy for places to get away with things. Plus most people never pop the hood of a vehicle before buying or even after buying because of that.
@@matthewfournier6478 if you don't pay for something, that's stealing. Either they shut the vehicle off, or they repo it. And electric companies can and do shut off people's power for not paying their bills. Those buy here lots that accept people with poor credit are taking a chance of not being able to get their vehicle back if someone has bad credit because they refuse to pay and decide to run to another state, which does happen, i know of someone who did it. Instead of tracking them down the moment they don't pay so many times abd repossessing the vehicle, they shut it off, which gives the person a chance to pay, and if so many months go by with no payments being made, they know where the vehicle should be and can repo it more easily.
@@matthewfournier6478 The people who buy these cars donât have the money or credit to buy anywhere else. Iâm OK with this device being used as long as the customer knows itâs there. Whatâs a lot worse than an immobilizer is the high interest rates these buyers have to pay.
