“I hit a curb… right after that boulder… right after that tree… right after…”
"Just passed over a tiny curb". After the vehicle was located OVER the Mount Rushmore
I am a small engine mechanic. One of my friends called and said that one of his new non-english speaking employees had filled an engine completely up with gasoline, instead of putting the gas in the gas tank. He put the gas in the oil dipstick tube. I advised him to drain all of the oil/gas mix, and refill with the required 2 quarts of oil. I then told him that more than likely the cylinders had gasoline in them too. It was a verticle shaft engine so the gas could get by the rings and into each cylinder (it was a Kawasaki twin). I told him to pull the spark plugs out and then make sure that the spark plug wires were as far away from the engine as possible. He asked me why and I explained that when he turned the engine over the gasoline in the cylinders would come out of the spark plug holes and that was a chance the gas could explode if a spark was present. He wrapped both plug wires in electrical tape, put cardboard around them and then put more electrical tape around the cardboard. He turned the engine over and a cloud of gas came out of one cylinder and suddenly exploded. He told me it was about a 3 foot ball of fire. No one was injured and he was able to put the fire out instantly since he had a fire extinguisher ready to go. The employee was fired on the spot. There was no damage to the lawn mower.
@@JobyFluorine-ru4bd, the worst part was they were Central American footballs. You know, since the employee was from that part of the world.
Dude, this guy have ever seen an internal combustion engine before?
I bet being a small mechanic helps when you need to get into a tight engine bay.
@@capability-snob, the engineers are just as ignorant about designing hard to work on equipment as auto engineers are. The worst are the closed frame generators.
@@capability-snob😂
After watching several of these videos, I’m afraid to drive on the highways
Just wait until you find out about how 99% of people driving/pulling RVs have never done anything of the sort in their lives. I used to work at a dealership and I avoid those things on the road at all costs
Mechanic states:
'I do not know how to use my camera in landscape mode'
Agreed.
Mechanics have some of the best sarcasm.
Gee, ya think?
thats the only way to cope with these type of drivers.
@@Ant1ev0 This I know. I tend to cuss like a longshoreman.
Dipsticks out of plastic is the dumbest sht ever created by engineers for an engine 😂😂😂😂
They really are. Thats how I feel about plastic intake manifolds also. Pretty soon whole cars are going to be made out of plastic.. lmao
@@VashStarwind u ain’t wrong.. 3D printing technology is fast growing.. once they are able to merge plastic and metals.. whole car gana be printed.. including engines…. I’m happy but sad for the future.. but change is inevitable 😅😅😅😅😅
Yep that's a shockingly stupid thing to exist :o
You can't fix stupid. But I can diagnose it😅😂
Dafuq…what did they put in that gear seen in the 1st video? This looks like they tried to lube the gears with fricking Pepto-Bismol 😮
Yeah but they never say and this grinds my gears
It looks to dark to be pepto
I guessed kid goop or play dough.
Could of put automatic trans fluid and it had some type of reaction with the old gear oil and turned to goop.
Went off roading in a modern suv only designed for grocery store parking lots.
Plastic is a bad pick for a part, specially near something that gets as hot as the bloody engine.
Plastic and hot oil is a really bad combination. We have to swap a lot of transmissions becuase ZF decided it would be a good idea to make bearing cages out of plastic.
It´s around 30.000€ per transmission and we do 1 or 2 every week.
That is just insane.
Europeans are good at that, plastic water pumps,intake manifolds and coolant pipes, pure genius but a dipstick, now I've heard it all.
New blazers have a plastic oil pan. 🤦
@FWDSUXARSE what in the Ohio rust belt..
Wow, handy access ports on the side of the engine. What will those engineers come up with next? Guess I'll never have to drop the oil pan again to service a rod. 😀😀😀
“Maintenance windows”
@@tincantank5174 Inspection ports, self installing.
Gotta luv the blue oil 😂😂
These drive amongst us !
AND VOTE AND BREED !!!
so guys, i work for almost 20 years as a mechanic in germany. i've seen some wild stuff but like 90% i watch from here or other channels are like unimaginable. i cant even... how do you not insult the customer so ignorant and stupid? i can understand some stuff. but this is just neglect of any safety for the driver and other people on the road. is it really that common in the us? im genuine curious
Some states have no inspections, plus some use a lot of salt on the roads in winter, so cars only last about 10 years.
This stuff is probably more common in poorer states, but don't forget we are only seeing the "highlights", do don't extrapolate across every car in the US.
If your car sits for a few days and all of the sudden sounds like crap, check the exhaust pipe and then the air box. One of them has a nest.
Very true. Some squirrels had put acorns in my air box
@@devnotes00 I’ve had that happen to me with mice already. We live in the woods
Unfortunately i don't get what a lot of these problems are OFFICIALLY, but l know pain and stupidity when i see it😂😂😂
That oil filter saved the engine a lot of damage by keeping that melted plastic from circulating.
12:42 the grand canyon of grooves in a rotor!
BTW - "Typical Midwest Rust"is the name of my Kansas cover band. 😅
LOL mine was "DUST IN YER EYE "
1:05 great way to drain oil without a lift, i like it.
Thanks for posting. There's no cure for stupid. Remember the old Fram commercial? You can pay me now or pay me later.
If you tell a mechanic to use Fram oil filters nowadays good mechanics will tell you if you want me to use those I will but you will be paying me now as well as paying me later.
This is great, compilations are the way to go.
Love those fog lights
@2:01 what do you expect from a PEUGEOT..............ok, you got me I have no clue........lol
@14:20 "really got their money's worth on this tire" You want to talk about getting your money's worth out of a tire? My dad bought a 1994 S10 in 1998, with ~40k miles on it. Ten years later, at 150k miles, it was still rolling on the exact same tires that were on it when he bought it. They weren't even low on tread. They were just full of dry rot cracks in the tread, and had started leaking.
That's what happens. Tires get hard and they stop wearing so they'll 'last' a real long time. They also stop gripping, and eventually stop holding air; but long before they go flat they are very unsafe to drive on because of the lack of grip. They'll keep their tread forever.
7:20 That wheel looks like someone thought their car was the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard.
I'm hoping to see a musical montage of wheel bearing happiness😊 maybe some water pump boogy.
Well you can definitely say that transfer case oil one. Wasn't the customers fault for once. Garage is paying for that one.
Yup that's one expensive bill for the garage and super unlucky for the customer.
6:01 I could have done the exact same thing to my brother's car transmission pan lol. Somehow, we found a nearly new one on a junkyard car.
Vorsprung durch knackered! 😂
0:30 _Customer states: charred brake pads_ ... What brake pads? 🤣
funny how the last vid is the only toyota hahaha
05:19 at least now we know what happened to Kitty...
That Peugeot van that starts when open the door...
I've had 10:29 happen to me before. I had just bought the truck (an '02 5-speed Blazer) and the next week the dry rotted tire slung the whole ahh tread. Had a fun time replacing all the parts it'd effed up 😂. Mechanics are an underappreciated and underused resource, love y'all greasy mfrs!
2:55,as my dad always said,"You can pay me💲 now,(oil change).Or you can pay me💲 ⌛later."(New engine).
Man ive seen so many split aluminum rims in these videos, its kinda making me wanna go back to ugly steal rims... lmao
There’s a big difference between aluminum rims depending if they are forged or cast aluminum. Some cheap cars like Hyundai will actually be sold with stock cast aluminum and they crack frequently. Quality forged mags will bend and not crack.
The auto start is likely a bad push button start switch. I've seen it before.
My mechanic, worked on everything. Stopped by, he's just getting ready to tear down a little four cylinder, air cooled motor for a ...lineman truck pole driller. He pulled the head and said the they left a single edge razor in here. Sure enough, just the handle remains, sitting om top of the piston. For the life of that rebuild.
I don't miss those days.
The car cranking while opening the door is French.
A Peugeot, and French cars are known by their bad electrics.
Though all Vauxhall’s sounded like that 11:24
I always love these videos. Also, make me cringe .
14:20. I paid for all the treads ,I’m going to use all the treads
11:50 Big Altima Energy?
Some people should never be let near a vehicle let alone own a vehicle let alone be told yes you can drive it and hopefully trust them to not destroy it so many simple fixes and yet they still wonder
@10:22 - let me guess, even though the tires are 22 yrs old, the econoline came in for an AC issue. As crazy as it is props to getting 22 years use and hot (presumably) dying. Funny for me as I recently helped my son pick out new tires, and explained the dot code. Then he asked why that would matter.... gotta love 'em.
So he is meant to magically know everything about tyres and you mock him for asking?
I'm sure your father of the year award is in the post.
Bet that one engine melted the plastic intake as well!?
2:45 Why is there a toggle bolt where the drain plug should be. There is more going on than sludge!!!
13:34…… that’s a Kia with a Theta II engine….. mine did exactly the same thing. Got a brand new engine for free because they botched the first one so bad they got sued…..
😂someone put yogurt in there car
Some people are just SO dumb it's terrifying. "Wind noise when the sunroof is open" . That better have been an April fools joke 🤦🏼♂️🤔
8:55 bro is playing with his life standing under that rustbucket
9:05 also good soup
5:40 is that a brake disc destroyed because the brakepads were mounted metal side in?
"One of the weirdest electrical issue you'll ever see" OFCOURSE IT'S A FRENCH CAR
5:01 yes, because engineers make everything so damn complicated now
MRPEEPEEPOOPOOPANTS03.... what a name lmao
Watching these makes me feel like I’m at home 🥺
@4:48 - THAT was stoopid! Should have at least wired up those fog lights to the radio power button. smh
Piston broke. Me too
Whoa, a chocolate ice cream machine! Cool! Oh...dat does not taste too good...
This is where I end up when I need a good laugh.
It’s telling the story “DRIVE ME OFF A FUCKING CLIFF NOW!!!!”
1:20 just pop it back in mate
Thr story that diff tells it has old red line shock proof oil that hadn't been changed out.
Yup. Rear sway bar. You don't need that. I mean your car won't handle quite as well but most people aren't pushing their car the limits anyways.
Those videos with thrown pistons and rods just make me sad. I mean that’s a death sentence to you car and you might as well just sell it for parts.
I was sad when I saw the stolen Cat. That one didn’t deserve to be in this mix.
The hell kinda car has a plastic dipstick??
Looks like a dune buggy...
Renault. Opel. Mercedes....
A lot of Hondas, actually
That was a side by side atv, but yeah NOTHING should have plastic dipsticks.. EVER
What the hell... Is this the best of Gen z compilation?
No. It's cheap ass boomers gone bang.
You have a lot of rough customers.
@ 2:05 well its a Peugeot...
I am convinced America doesn't have a mandatory annual vehicle inspection, and some fool will cite "Freedom" or "The man" as the reason people can drive around like this.
Some states don't.
Things like that happen if you do not have mandatory safety checks. I do not want to meet some of these guys on the road
I had a customer get a used replacement engine for a 2017 grand cherokee. When I got my hands on it to take the plastic intake off to hook up the cherry picker the intake was melted to the heads😂 needless to say that they had that I've replaced quickly. Lkq parts are amazing
It was running just fine until it quit.
The 1st clip shall be correctly called....BARBI'S REAR END.
What?.. You mean "silly Putty" isn't the lubricant recommended for a Torsen differential?
Customer: Meh, it's fine.
So what's the pink stuff?
Belzona putty for oil pan
ICE engines have so many creative ways to fail.
At least they can be fixed..
@@VashStarwind Everything can be fixed, just a matter of cost.
Seeing dutch mechanics on here makes me laugh ❤❤ like we say : lekker bezig pik 😂
who the hell uses a plastic dipstick?!?!
The fact that people let there trucks rust out that badly my truck is a 2003 ford f150 solid as a rock but I take care of it
Mostly from salted roads.
0:00 I guess his rear end had diarrhea so he filled it with pepto bismal…
America needs a yearly vehicle inspection like here in the UK or like the rest of the world.
Many states do have yearly safety inspections. And the rest of the world definitely does not necessarily have yearly safety inspections. Pop over to Africa, Thailand, etc and let me know what you see
@mediocreman2 didn't mean to offend or anything like that. But if there are safety inspections as you say, how is it that cars like this are still on the road?
Just a question, genuinely curious.
The vast majority of accidents are caused by drivers.
I live in a state with no annual inspection and very rarely see crap like in these videos.
The weather here is warmer and we don't get snow or ice, so no need for salt.
Most people have their car serviced and are probably informed of serious issues, plus they don't want to die themselves.
Why do american cars rust so bad? Dont seem to see that in australia
Why are wheel bearings made out of pop cans and foil?
12 liters of oil? How can so much oil even fit in there?
Apparently at least 12 litres
How is it 2024 and people still can't figure out how to record a video horizontal?
5:55 Dude destroyed the engine when he bought the car why would anyone buy a V6 "muscle car"
All jail time in the UK !!!
When you mock people who supposedly didn't change oil as needed it accrues to you that maybe they did went to a oil shop and shop scam them and didn't really change the oil?
Nah, what happens is they buy bottles that say "Good for up to 15,000 miles*" or "Good for 20,000 miles*", don't read the fine print and think that means they can drive 15-20k miles without an oil change
That’s more than one missed oil change.
@@noserlydid you read what I wrote?
@@jabjab12 I responded, so yes. You aren’t going to get scammed like 10 times, and one missed oil change doesn’t make that, so your premise is very unlikely.
That does happen but super rarely. More often than that we'll see customers service history not having an oil change for the last 15,000-30,000 miles and it shows when we see their oil.
Guess so 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m amazed on how stupid people are on auto maintenance. They are gonna kill someone on the road!
02:17 I dont get it. What am I missing?
I didn't catch it first, but one of the rollers doesn't turn, although it felt smooth :p
@@Gjaeralaus ah okay🤣 Thanks mate
@@Gjaeralaus Hard to tell on the video, but I was expecting to see a flat spot or something.
If post . Please give full info. To the end. Big ask
Some video show whats going on. But not show the end.
God bless mick Australia 🇦🇺. It makes me relax. No human is perfect. . But today. Say im wrong. 90 percent. Can not change a tyre. Or check oil water. ((((
Bs on that hot dog roll its too clean. It was put there for attention.
14:30, bad form to show someones name and address.
F150 every week
