TRASH FINDS - Power Wheels Mustang, Jeep & Scooter Repairs

- My daughter and I drove around, scouring the curbs of the surrounding neighborhoods of Louisville during the most recent heavy trash days for ride-on toys. We found THREE more ride-ons on the curb to add to her budding collection - a Power Wheels Barbie Mustang, a Power Wheels Jeep, and a Motion Trendz Disney Cars Lightning McQueen 3-wheeled Scooter complete with working 6V battery!
Does one kid need so many ride-on toys? According to her mother, no, but we enjoy working on these things together. It gives us a chance to spend some time talking about how to fix things and not just throw them away. She watches me go through the electronics and we talk about how the toys work, then we give them a wash down together and she finally gets to take them for a test drive and pretend to be a TV presenter when we make a CZcams video. I gotta believe there's a useful skill or two being learned in there somewhere, or at least some memories formed of her crazy old man digging cool shit out of other people's trash piles. - Věda a technologie
Bro I wanted to learn about amps, but now I’m crying because your such a good dad 😭 seriously dude like you are such a good father. God Bless you dude!
I fail every day as a father. I just try to fail as small as possible and show them enough love to make them forget the failures.
Omg you guys. I’m emotional over both of your comments. You two are amazing men. 💕
So cool. And your daughter is the cutest
I think you are right... lot's of lessons there and more importantly for you, its time with your daughter.. My daughter is now a senior in college, during her childhood she was an athlete and played club sports. We spent most weekends together for 9 years going to tournaments. Quality time that builds a bond. Trust me, once they become teenagers and off to school, your time together declines dramatically... enjoy this time of your life...
I'm trying to soak it up. I know things will change. Happens so fast.
From trash......... Such a shame and a waste, glad you found and sorted them nice one
These are great videos! Thank you for posting these! I just got a car for my grandchildren and we are working on getting it working well. The problem was a battery not charging well, I'm hoping we can fix that. My dad and I used to hang out like you do with your daughter, he would talk about how to fix things and teach me about simple tools. Good times...
When I was about your daughters age, my dad worked for a trash company in St. Louis, Mo.. I had 4 spring type rocking horses. When my friends came over we would all have our own. We would ride for hours. I only wish I could have one by the TV so I could ride and watch the Lone Ranger. Good times! Thankz
Holy crap! That's awesome! You know, you can trace the downfall of society by the construction level of our kids' toys. I was walking through the ailes of a local antique mall the other day and was struck by some of the antique and vintage toys - crap like actual BAND SAWS and tool kits marketed for kids! Anymore, no toy company in their right mind would do that for fear of being sued. Those spring horses, when they first came out were just open springs, some had real wooden parts and leather saddles, etc. Then they started covering the springs in pinch-proof plastic coatings, the horses were 100% plastic, and now, I don't think they still make them for fear some kid will fall off and the parents will sue over a bruise. I remember having one of those horses and trying to jump off the thing onto my bed or the floor like the guys in the western movies.
I looked them up and I stand corrected...they do still make them. There's still hope.

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter loves flea markets and junk stores. I started her early lol.
Do you have any tips for finding these? Btw you are a great dad.
Find out when heavy trash pickup is and where it will be next in your municipality. They will have designated times and zones for heavy trash. Get a truck and just drive around looking. Ride on toys are one of the most frequently discarded things I've seen.
@@TheGuitologist Thank you for the advice!
Any suggestions of painting something like this(plastic push car)
mine has this issue, that when you put foot on the pedal or even with the remote, the car wont go forward nor backward, any solution?
Good video Brad, looks like she has been driving a while!!!))) 🚗🚕🚗🚕🚕🚙👍🏼😊
Yeah man, we found a couple of these a while back during one of the previous heavy trash times, and she's been burning up the yard ever since.
hi your videos are great thanks i have a question about the batterys you said to get what charger do they use were can i get one what exacly is it called thanks?
I re paint and do this stuff but I’d just want to ask, where do you find these cars?
He said to drive around on heavy pickup day with a truck or something and u will find some probably
My sons fiat wont turn on new battery and charger.what could be the problem?
i had lightning mcqueen when i was little
Was that mustang 12volts? That thing was hauling! Lol
Could be a good side business Brad.. get this stuff free, fix and clean up, sell it on CL.....lots of people would appreciate those used...
I thought about doing that. I'm sure they'll go on CL eventually, when she's outgrown them. I have another daughter who is a long way off from being big enough for them, so we'll see. Money might go in Izzy's savings since she helped with the restore.
and use sale money in an account for her . many good lessons in that type of thing.
