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 What you see is a broken u-joint on the front driveshaft of a 2013 BMW 535xi with 175000 miles / 281635 kilometres. The u-joint broke and took a huge chunk of the engine from the looks of it, and that's why the customer saw a leak.
This would definitely be louder than a "ding". This just happened so the technician doesn't know what the customer will be doing yet with his vehicle.
0:23 This is on a 2004 Mazda BT-50 truck with a 3L engine. The technician said whoever did the engine rebuilt left everything loose. He quoted the customer to get the engine rebuilt once again. It'll need a new cylinder head but the block can be re-used.
0:39 The technician said this LED strip had a short, and the customer thought a bigger fuse would fix it. If a fuse keeps popping, you need to find the actual issue. The customer is lucky this didn't catch on fire and light is RV on fire. This LED strip is just underneath the awning.
0:53 No extra info.
1:03 I've shown something similar in a video last year and a lot of people were saying this will happen if you live near the ocean because of the salt. I've never seen this, but I also do know that urine from animals were cause deterioration of the metal fins (seen this on AC machines that are outside of houses).
1:27 The technician said he has no clue how this happened as the vehicle only has 40000 miles / 64373 kilometres, and shouldn't have any wheel bearing work done on it. It is a rental vehicle so who knows on the full story as well. Since the bolts were missing on one side, it was like having a loose wheel bearing, so over time the caliper bracket was rubbing against the brake rotor and causing a grinding noise that the customer heard.
1:43 No extra info. I've never seen this before as well, so if you have any idea what could have caused this, then please let us know!
2:02 A very bent wheel and tire off of an Audi that the customer crashed. Surprised it still held together so I wanted to share it!
2:12 As shown, the steering wheel cover made it feel like the steering was "loose".
2:24 Always important to have fuel in your fuel tank when bringing your vehicle to the shop and especially when the technician needs to test drive it. I know some shops will charge the customer to add fuel (labor rate + fuel cost).
2:34 The technician found multiple oil leaks, damaged wires, electrical connectors broken, a broken front bumper (aftermarket bumper that doesn't fit properly), both front CV axles leaking grease, damaged crash bar, radiator supports broken (and radiator hanging low and rubbing on ground), AC lines rubbing against AC compressor + serpentine belt, one damaged wheel and a damaged fan.
3:10 The tire came off an old Buick vehicle going 100km/h /62 mph as they skidded on through the intersection. They slid to a stop and no other damages were done. The tire bounced from the driver's side, over the hood diagonally towards the windshield, and just grazes the passenger side mirror. The truck ended up stopping to assess the situation. We decided to continue as the baby was still sleeping soundly."

1:03 could also be a road salt state.
I cant wait to grow up to be a mechanic and maybe even submit a clip.
3:10 literally sounded like ROSS and RACHEL 🤣
That woman's response to the wheel bouncing over the hood was correct!
I made the same noise just watching it
Many poos shot out of her ani!
We experienced the same thing 40 years ago, but a 18 wheeler tire & wheel
@@jameskennedy673 ooof that's scary 😨
She sounded like Kirby tying to suck that tire up.
The fuse kept blowing...so they added a bigger fuse.
I screamed a little.
Two bigger fuses would've done the trick 🤪
Looked like a set of those really cheap LED lights - not IP68 rated at all.
the bigger fuse mantra or shoving a penny in was probably a source of countless house fires before breakers became the majority circuit interruption method(though sometimes shade tree electricians open their panel and toss in a bigger breaker causing the same issue. less common though).
No,,, you wrap it in foil. Duhhh!!! The wrong fuse, is dangerous.
... I know it's bad to do that, but i'm curious as to why exactly.
I've had my own air conditioning shop for many years and Ive seen a number of these condensers come in and mostly I find that it's a customer that likes to wash the car himself with high pressure and especially the radiators, it still baffles me how many people you cannot explain to that high pressure hurts the radiator.
Well shit, I always wash my car at the self service carwash, and now I'm concerned about this.
ya i took one look and thought they use a pressure washer on it
I work in car rental and yes, pressure washers can cause a lot of damage if used incorrectly. They can damage the window/door seals, trim, and engine components behind the front grill (such as this condenser). If there are any nicks in the paint, the pressure washer can get under them and start taking the paint off the car. I have seen a few like this, especially on flexible bumpers.
A pressure washer jet can also do a lot of damage to a person. It can cut right through a regular shoe. I always wear work boots with a composite toe shield.
Not to mention modern vehicle design having front grills that look like an open-mouth bass, so more of it hits that area.
@@chuckles3295 Makes it go faster.
Serviced a large fleet with badly damaged A/C condenser cooling fins. They were all smashed flat. It was something like 20 vehicles. Found out that they had a service come in and pressure wash the vehicles. Never heard if the wash service paid for the damage.
i had an employee do that on our office air conditioner . it was 7 1/2 ton rating so expensive to replace.
@@chir0pter and that’s exactly what I was going to write for a comment but I figured I better check the comments first in case somebody else wrote the same thing because as soon as I saw that that’s what I figured. Somebody probably had of 2800 to 3500 psi pressure washer going!
Pressure washer capable of great damage in hands of idiot.
Ohhh, that would do it!
Amazes me how many times customers drive away in a car that is clearly dangerous or about to break big time!
It is amazing but I see it almost every day that I work.
I would hope they drive it straight to a wrecking yard....
The shop should tip the cops off so they are waiting for them when they leave.
I tell customers that, with my mobile welding repair. "If you called me 2 weeks ago when you noticed the crack,it would have been $100. Now it's $800.
Same thing here. More money for the shop when it eventually comes back
Situations like that just *scream* for a waiver that make it the owner's responsibility the moment all four wheels are off the shop's property... if not sooner.
As someone who did driving for a dealership briefly it was always a pain when a customer brought in a car with little to no fuel in it for test driving. Usually we end up calling the customer and billing them on whatever fuel we add. Still a hassle
@@magna116 one time i had to deliver a finished car to a customer only for them to ask why theres only 10km of fuel left. Felt a bit snarky and said its not our fault the car came empty
I never get below 1/4 tank. I don't understand the mentality.
I worked on a truck for a woman who was a friend of my sister-in-law. Only started on starting fluid, but once started, it would run (telltale sign of a bad fuel pump on GM 4.3Ls) I told her I'd have to drop the tank, so the truck having less than a 1/4 tank was great. She said okay and would bring it over the next day. When she brought it to my house the next day....she stopped at the gas station literally 2 blocks from my house and filled the tank. I had to pull the bed instead. It's been 10 years, and my forehead still hurts from that facepalm.
@@dpeagles I think I would usually fill up at around 20%. Usually, the only reason I would go much lower is if the area I was in had more expensive gas, so I was waiting til I was back in an area where it would be cheaper to fill.
@@joevk6274 I hope you billed them accordingly...
1:03 I would not be surprised if that was due to pressure washing, with the way it was localised to the bottom and in what I imagine the grill shape is.
I wouldn't believe half of this if it wasn't filmed 😂
None of it was filmed.
Oh, hey. Thank you for the comprehensive description of each video. I have never seen a brake disc explode like that either. Side story: Back in the 90s my mother drove our 1967 VE Valiant sedan (Australia) from home down to the city for a week. She drove all over the city and visited friends and family etc and then came back. It was an 1800 km (1100ml) round trip not including driving all over the city. She was a quarter mile from our town, and slowing to the 50kmh/35mph speed limit when the front left wheel locked up. Thankfully she was a skilled driver and got the car to a safe stop. Upon inspection it was found that the mechanic who'd replaced the pads the day before she left didn't tighten the brake caliper properly. Imagine if it happened on the highway doing 70mph while passing a semi? My father, a diesel fitter/mechanic popped down to the workshop and had a few 'words' to the mechanic responsible. He was an apprentice, so dad didn't knock him out, just explained in strong terms how important it is to double-check your work because your work may mean the difference between life and death for a customer.
We had a Jeep Cherokee where the disk brake was made from two dissimilar metals. The hub was made from one type of metal and it was welded to the rotor which was made of a different type of metal. This caused each type to heat up and cool down at different rates which eventually caused the welds to separate. So eventually, the hub which was bolted in place with the wheel was no longer connected to the rotor which was connected with the brake pads. Applying the brakes eventually did nothing to slow the Jeep down. I replaced the rotors, then later found a service bulletin about this. Sent Jeep my costs to repair (backyard mechanic) and they reimbursed me! This was my wife's car so I was kind of scared when I found that out.
I was that mechanic last year. No excuse. I just fucked up.
Rear right caliper, forgot to tighten the fasteners. Probably because of some distraction.
Customer suddenly lost brake pressure when the caliper fell off the carrier and piston was driven all the way out.
No one was hurt, and I got to keep my job.
@@panzerveps Sometimes it's OK to keep someone who screws up - as long as they learned their lesson. You're probably more careful then the ones that didn't learn it the hard way.
@@russellhltn1396 My boss told me later that I got off easy (nothing but a verbal warning) because of the way I reacted. If I had refused to admit it or something like it, Id most likely be looking for a new job then.
@@panzerveps It sounds like you have a good boos.
3:15 Not getting hit by an errant tire: definition of a good day.
Thanks for the great content!
that's not a high bar man
@@dotanuki3371 The wheel and tire could go right through the windshield and kill you. How is that a low bar?
I would say less the definition of a good day, and more one of the requirements for it to be one:D
@@dotanuki3371 any day you walk away from is a good one.
Considering the description says the baby didn’t wake up, I would even go so far as to count it as a great day!
One time I was driving home when a tire with wheel fell out of a truck bed while crossing an interstate overpass. It fell to the surface street below and headed up the curved off-ramp I was driving on. There wasn’t a way to protect my car because the ramp had no shoulders, just ditches on both sides. The best I could do is line up the corner of my Civic so it bounced away to the side instead of into my windshield, and also protect the cars behind me. It worked. My car took limited damage and wheel went into the ditch.
Some fast thinking there.
Yes excellent response under pressure. Did it feel like time slowed down? I have had that avoiding an accident.
@@wordzmyth
Adrenaline can do that. To some people anyway.
Kinda like giving hyperactive kids Ritalin. A stimulant.
2:24 , I can pay you or get gas . Can't do both !
On a side note , I filled my tank the other day for only $32 . It was my lawn mower but gotta take the wins whenever you can right now .
No shit eh. I took my lawnmower Jerry can and put five bucks worth of gas in it. When you can visually see how much you actually get for your money, it's damn criminal.
Thirty two bucks to fill a lawnmower.
Did you ride it home at least?
That last one was “Just Rolled Past”.
Focus, people - FOCUS.
This channel is about rolling IN.
They were lucky that it didn't "Just Roll In" thru their windshield!
😆 glad it didn't just roll in for their sake
This is why most people don't deserve cars
I know well enough to take care of my car, but with the cost of gas right now I'm starting to bike-commute any time it's not raining, makes me wish infrastructure was more flexible in North America to allow non-car options as the norm not the exception
most people don’t deserve anything
@Hanover Fiste So you find it totaly ok that those morons drive on pretty worn tires or have half their engine kissing the ground while driving? When you get your License, you get Responsibility. They didnt Maintain their Car so why should they be allowed to have one when all they do is create hazards for everyone else by having multiple oil leaks etc.....
@Hanover Fiste Considering the context of the video, you must of been searching a bit looking for a trigger ..
And people want more gun control... jeez. We need more restrictions on motor vehicle use
3:20! Good grief! I have heard the saying "when Donkeys Fly" But never when wheels and tires fly! CLOSE call !! 😯
Anybody else flinch when tire went wizzing by? Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the few channels that I stop what i'm doing for a just a couple minutes to check out. You and Daily Dose!
Appreciate that! My wife and I always watch his videos with dinner.
I had literally just finished today's DDoI and this one was just below it.. glad to know we've all got good taste! 🤣
same 😀
The hanger bearing on my Lincoln mkx was shot. I had no choice but to replace the entire axle. If I didnt, there would have been a good chance the axle would have rattled apart and would have cost thousands of dollars in damage. Don't put off fixing axle issues like U-joints, spending a couple of hundred will save you thousands in the future.
This channel is very amusing. And in addition to that this is very good for us non-native speakers for learning the car parts in English.
Yes, it is. I'm German and I now know what a head gasket is 🙂... but I'm no mechanic, so I often can't figure out what engine parts are shown, so I look them up. Very good for education 🙂
@@mquietsch6736 I am Finnish and I usually see and understand what is wrong and know the parts and their purpose. But very often I learn new technical vocabulary in English.
@@mquietsch6736 BTW I was in Germany last month. I had a summer trip with my motorhome and drove around the Baltic sea. That was something like 4000 km.
Yes, it is very convenient when they name a certain car part and then point at it.
@@zcommz.t.5080 "This, good sir, is your Problem." XD
That loose tier reminded me of the time I was at a pizza place. Someone lost a wheel a quarter mile away. I remember saying I think someone lost a wheel just before it hit a van sitting in a parking space. It missed the glass window by 10 feet and taking out a nice elderly couple. I wish I had that on camera
This one was very entertaining. Always looking forward to your next post. Oh! And God bless all you great men and women who keep our bucket of bolts running. 👍🇺🇸
And for British cars, that would be bucket of bolts & nuts.
On the exploding rotor, that wasn't a defect in the rotor. If you look at the pieces of the rotor, some of the edges look rusty. Pay attention to the curved piece the mechanic picks up and moves. Before he moves it, the edge facing him is extremely rusty. That crack had been there a while. The rotor probably cracked due to heat and metal fatigue, rust got in it, which eventually weakened the metal enough that centrifugal forces separated the rotor. Violently.
@Hanover Fiste Old Joe retired a long, long time ago. I think Bobby Goran is on the case now.
yes absolutely. you can see the rust in the one crack at the root. all the rest of the pieces have fresh crack no rust. when the rusty crack finally went all the way the rotor was no longer a solid disc .think a " c " instead of a circle. it ripped apart in pieces
Horror story time!
I was given a 1996 Ford F150 at the start of 2020, less than 6 months before it was given to me, the previous owner had a relative perform electrical work on it. They had broken several clips on main ignition switch wiring harness and jammed WOOD into the sockets to keep them from falling out.
Two months after I got the truck, I smelled smoke and found the wood burning, several broken wires that had been twisted together and left exposed, my ignition cylinder wasn't connected properly and the original radio was broken.
This video has more crazy stuff in it than any previous one I've seen. Missing radiator fins? Weirdly bent wheel? People overuse "jaw-dropping" but these definitely qualify for that phrase.
Felt bad about the guy who rebuilt his engine. That’s a lot of work to have it go that bad.
Still, don’t take on jobs like that. If you don’t know exactly what to do. Something I learned awhile back.
Indeed. Also, know what a torque wrench is and how to use it. :-/
I saw nothing that resembled a valve spring ...
Rebuilding an Engine requires perfection. One mistake can ruin the whole job.
@trollolol I agree, a lot of older mechanics I talk to have trouble understanding Ground Side switching/Pulse Width Modulation, let alone Can Bus, Flex Ray, & Lin Bus Networks on newer Cars. It's so complex, that some Dealers don't use Oscilloscopes any more, but they are required to troubleshoot the networks.
That's why all they do is swap out modules until they get it right.
Maximum effort
I think that errant wheel was going over the speed limit! 😆
3:14
Lady's gasp synced with the passing wheel so well 🤣
Love these videos! I left the mechanic gig many years ago but I love seeing this stuff and it always surprised me when the customer would clearly not listen to logic or reason and drive their death trap out of our shop.
Those are the ones controlled by their money, not what can happen from a wreck.
@@paintnamer6403
Proof that money can't buy brains.
I always felt like a criminal when customers declined work on a death trap (just because they didn't believe me) and I had no choice but to let them roll...
Same here! Dealer tech for 20 years and saw some things, but some of these even make me go WHOA!!
Those tires...so insane. I have NEVER seen a brake rotor in pieces...off the charts amazing.
I hit parts of one on the freeway
@@peterf.229 crazy
Haha excellent again dude 👌
That loose low flying wheel made me duck!! 🤣🤣
When you here those "dings" you just know its trouble!! 👍
The last clip, nothing like a wheel running free on her natural environment. Nature what a beautiful thing
2:03. Customer states " need it balanced"... Lol
Great vids👍👍
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
1:03 We see this a lot where they use road salt. Just sold a 2012 Civic with the bottom 3" or so of fins all rotted out like this. A/C still worked great.
The tire at the end made a really strange noise, I would recommend letting it check ;)
I knew a guy that was driving up I5 in San Francisco and something came through the windshield. It hit him the side of his head and went out the rear window.
It removed his eye and did some pretty bad damage.
He lived and was back to work a few months later with an eye patch.
The best guess anyone could come up with was it was a piece of a truck brake rotor spinning very fast so it just sliced through the glass and his face.
The guy riding beside him had no idea until the car started drifting off the road. He said he never heard anything.
@@chir0pter NY/NJ as well...
Wow, close call on that flyby 👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺
I had a tire come at me like that once. I thought I was toast until it took a wild bounce and went right over the top of my car.
I had the fifth one happen to my radiator. Driving on the highway on a hot day almost overheated my engine, but as soon as I slowed down, the temp dropped. No wonder, it was missing half the fins. Turns out, the metal fins fell off if you poked them, they had the consistency of soggy cardboard. Replaced the radiator myself, no problems with it since.
I've replaced multiple radiators and condensers with missing fins like this in areas where they salt the roads in the winter with corrosive chemicals. It just rots the aluminum fins right off. Another issue is with pressure washer damage, not missing fins, but the high pressure water folds the fins over, blocking the airflow. Using a tool called a fin comb, and a lot of time, you can usually straighten the fins out.
My "low fuel" story...
Brought my '99 Intrigue in for the THIRD complaint of mild shudder when turning left into a parking space. Mild shudder is intermittent but only happens when parking. When I handed the keys to the Service Writer, the car had 1/4 tank. (Vehicle purchased at 27,7xx miles, problem began around 43-45k)
I called in the afternoon, after not hearing from them, to ask what had transpired. I was rudely informed that I "didn't leave the tech enough gas to test drive the vehicle." I barked back, "The problem only happens when turning left into a parking space. You have a massive empty parking lot behind the service bays. You have 1/4 tank to simply make a whole bunch of low-speed left turns on your property. What is the issue here?" I picked up my car - not even looked at - and returned another day.
And now... The rest of the story. (RIP Paul Harvey)
The day of the 4th visit, the tech who looked at my car the first two times - not the 3rd time with the low fuel excuse - asked to ride in the car with me to see if I could duplicate the complaint. Sure! He hopped in, I started the car, backed it out of a parking space, and he says, "Rico (head service writer) says you think it's the rack. Why do you think it's the rack?" I mention similar symptoms to the '98 recall for power steering racks, similar to the symptoms of the bad rack in the 1984 Skylark I traded in to buy the Intrigue, and I said "It wouldn't be unheard-of for a few of those bad racks to be on early-99s." "Oh, I don't want to replace the rack if it's not the problem." "Well, I'm under warranty, the rack is covered, and I have zero deductible." The tech laughs, and I begin to turn left - at about 3 mph - into a left-hand parking space, and the car shudders. Symptom appears on first attempt, with me driving, and tech in car. (I should have bought a lottery ticket with that luck!) New rack was installed, and I drove 130-140k on the replacement rack with no shudder since. Didn't need 1/4 tank of gas to prove the problem existed... That tech ended up being "my" tech, he would take my car every time I came in to the dealership, even for LOF. I felt honored, because he was an excellent tech.
I’m glad I have a shop that I trust, a car is not a simple machine so I prefer to leave it to experts.
1:17 It's not completely uncommon. Radiators are mounted lower and lower. There isn't always a grille in front of them. Gravel, salt, high speeds and aluminium corrosion do the rest. 😉
And if you use pressure washer on these, its pretty easy to destroy these
@@Jirkator2000 I didn't know that but will pay more attention in the future. 😉
I have witnessed flying tires that have come out of nowhere. Then see the vehicle it came from grinding a path on the blacktop. 🤓
Glad I haven't witnessed it in person yet lol
My wife and I know next to nothing about cars, but we love watching these. This channel deserves more subscribers!
"You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel..."
Those steering wheel covers should be illegal. They're very dangerous being loose like that. I see several vehicles at work like that every day.
The missing cooling fins are usually from pressure washing.
I can understand wanting to cover an original steering wheel that is breaking down, but they should definitely be required to be secure and not obstruct any required instruments (the big, fluffy ones might block seeing the dash). If you sell a product, it should be safe to use for its intended use. Customers can accept some risk with some products (if they are informed), but even that doesn't apply to driving, since there are other people on or near roads, too.
“Just” a ding? Hmm. I wonder what that could be. Eh. Probably a rock.
Right? That ain't no "ding". I like how the service writer wrote "ding" on the work order as well 😆
🤣
As in ding bat!
Right?
"Brakes look brand new"
Has more scaring that Mickey Rourkes face.

Talk about a close call with that end clip. Those people got SUPER lucky!
Scary to know someone could be next to you driving these death traps.

The lady kinda sounded like someone getting a great rip on a beyblade.
My reaction.....HOLY 💩!
Last one.
You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.
That last video with the Flying Tire is a New Discount 🤑Tire commercial
As an alignment guy i enjoyed some of these , tire wear like this is too common and dangerous . You are right about mechanic shops keeping cars that are dangerous to the owner/ driver and others , nothing you can do but warn them , show them , then pray for them and hope they take the backroads home and document everything including pictures . The thing about these vids that we enjoy are very telling , coming off a two year pandemic that is still raging and the resulting job losses compounded by sky high gas prices i expect these issues will increase with some barely getting by ..
and you hope when they crash they don't sue you because " you weren't forceful enough " and should have stopped them.
@@ronblack7870 Thats why its important to document everything because if they do get into an accident and your shop was the last shop to look at it you will be going to court . We have had situations where the ball joints have pop out when lifted on a hoist , as one of many examples , and customer declines repairs . You are towing the vehicle home ..
Get them to sign a waiver saying they have been advised of the damage and accept all responsibility.
@@olsmokey I forgot to add that , that is the last thing we do before whats left of the vehicle drives off . " Sign here please , here are your keys and have a nice day " , Or " Do you want us to call a tow truck " ..
You could phone the local Police Dept. and inform them of an unsafe vehicle that is on about to leave the shop . Some would not agree with it but it does fulfil your " duty to warn " .
Oof! That wheel bouncing over the hood!
The Chevy at the end was nice. 🙂
That wheel at the end just rolled in!
I always love the bmw clips, especially since i love workin on em
I had my "Ultimate driving machine" dreams smashed to bits after buying one. Never again.
@@uhtred7860 hehe. Das german engineering
perhaps the shops involved should have a clause in their work orders that allow for a 30% stupidity surcharge on the bill.
loved the Buick wheel hauling ass all by itself! LoL....
2:24 The shop I worked in we had the opposite problem. Someone dropped off a Chevy Suburban for a fuel pump replacement and was kind enough to fill up the tank before dropping it off. The fuel gauge was broken so no one knew it was full until it was time to remove the tank.
You can guarantee that whenever a fuel pump needs replacement, it has a full tank of fuel.
I was passenger in an early Saab 9³ that had the transmission break and send all the oil through the hole in case with nothing but a ping and no abuse was going on at the time. It maybe felt like we ran over a half inch diameter branch in the road, thats what it felt like to me. Almost nothing felt/heard from inside the vehicle. So in my experience its totally feasible that the customer was being truthful.
That poor Regal...looks like a GS? I used to hate them back int he day, but now...maybe because I know somebody with one, and she's a car girl LOL...
Great video. PS...I did get it hehe. Gonna wear it next time I record!
Sweet! Glad you got it! Hope the t-shirt fits man.
@@JustRolledIn Yes! Although my goal is that none of my clothes will fit! Its not saying much so far, but I have one smaller shirt thats tight around my arms now lol. How you been doing? I swear Ill get on FB soon lol

I'm glad it was their lucky day...
Now that I've been following you guys for a while ,,,,what would you say the majority of the repairs are? Are they bad engineering, poor maintenance or self-inflicted damage by the owners driving through guardrails and rocks and things?
All 3 😜 but mostly self inflicted damage/poor maintenance.
You forgot 1 other potential reason, getting into an accident.
There's also plenty that are the result of road salt rusting through the frame, although materials and design do affect how quickly that happens.
@@Br3ttM true. If you live in a salty area, wash your stuff often including any shed or something with metal, because many times the salt is actually in the air and will rust stuff.
I've learned that if I really muck up my vehicle in an incredibly stupid way, to save face by telling the mechanic that my non-existent grandson borrowed it and returned it that way.
What’s also scary: the same customers are allowed to own firearm weapons.
These people are not able to bear the responsibility to have a roadsafe vehicle and lack common sense. I doubt they can even operate a deadly weapon safely.
But that weapon is all the "freedom" they have left
@@erueru2014 must be pretty poor minded to define freedom with a bit of deadly metall
What is it with people that drive off with their car falling apart and decline any work. Do they think it's really not that bad. 🤣🤣🤣
Seen quite a few of these now...not claiming to be a mechanical genius but seriously, some of these are hilariously unbelievable also love the little bits you put in at the end...great viewing, love it!
I don't know why anyone would ever want a steering wheel cover???
They should be illegal imo
3:15 - Damn, that spool up time!
"They had it towed home and hadn't driven it since" - now that's what you want to hear!
Good to see that there are drivers with some sense.
It is crazy how when, people find out just how bad their car truck is ,they not only don't get it fixed but contenuie to drive them. Loves the cars at the end of each video. Liked.Shared. All my best.
3:10 "Was that car missing a WHEEL!!"
Ghost rolling wheels always make me smile. Like the one on that almost rang the doorbell cam in some other video!
They were so lucky not to get smacked by it, and even luckier to catch it on the dash cam!
Think I even saw that on Daily Dose of Internet. If so, it *did* actually ring the doorbell.
WOW!! That was too close. If that wheel would have hit them people, that would have hurt. Thanks for sharing my friend.
The never ending supply of these kinds of videos amazes me
As always..thumbs up before watching...love the videos... all I can say is wow
Man this is a great channel! Thanks.
3:10 literally sounded like ROSS and RACHEL 🤣
That guy's guinea pig loves wheels. It sounded super excited 😊
Had a 2500/3500 diesel customer once, "When it's hot it does bla bla". Dead of winter, below zero, brought it in with the fuel light on.
3:25 the Volvo 240😍
So if your fuse keeps on blowing just put in a bigger one....... Oh, and make sure your smoke detector is working and your fire insurance is up to par.
😆😆
Best Dashcam I've seen in awhile...wow
That tire certainly "Just Rolled In"! 🤪
Also, its a good day, when you come back in for the day, after FINALLY diagnosing a problem on the car..and then you find a Just Rolled In!
The last one with the girl freckin out song tho!😆😆😆
1:25 .that is a result of car detailers using Acidic mag wheel cleaner to quickly wash bugs from a condenser . It destroys mirrors too .I see it every day .
Please excuse me, for I am Late... however I spent this morning swapping my pinholed plastic single core radiator for a 3 core aluminum TIG welded unit... just waiting for the upper hose. Only $156 from Ebay but no provisions for steering cooler so I relocated it in front of the bumper dam above the license plate! I think it's solid!
The bald tires lol, if I didn't know any better I would say that was my buddy in his benz. I warned him a year ago to get new rear tires. He did a few weeks ago when they kept going flat.
3:15 - that tire sure made a funny sound as it flew by.
That tire just rolled in lol.
That wheel coming off the vehicle and bouncing over the hood of the car. For some reason it reminded me of something similar happening to me.
I was at my grandmas house doing yard work for her, this was many years ago. I was 18 or 19 years old at the time. I'm now 49.
Anyway, I was trimming some bushes in the front yard. She came out on the porch and asked me to come in and cool off. I said I would as soon as I was finished. Then about five minutes later she came out and TOLD ME to come in and cool off. I'm no dummy, when she told me to do something it was done right then and there! No sooner than walking into the front door. A 18 foot twin axle flatbed trailer FULLY loaded came through the front yard took out a small tree and crashed into a chain link fence completely tearing it out of the ground. It must in have been going 55 or 60 MPH, maybe more. It all happened so fast it was and still is hard to come up with how fast it was going.
Now had I not listened to her. I'd probably be dead. I just don't see how I could have gotten out if it's way fast enough to get away with no injuries. How did she know to call me into the house? How did she know exactly when to TELL me to come in, Knowing that if she TOLD me to do it I would, right then. All she said and did afterwards was smile at me and gave me a big hug. Then said something like "If that's not proof of why you should listen to me, I don't know what is." After that day I don't even recall her ever really talking about it.
Apparently the person that lost the trailer was a dumbass. First off, they were pulling the trailer with a minivan-ish type vehicle. Secondly, They had the wrong class hitch. Lastly, everything was over weight except for the trailer. The vehicle and the hitch. the hitch was completely torn off the vehicle. They were hauling a load of scrap metal. One of the craziest experiences of my life.
Thank You Granny!! I Love and Miss You Dearly.
sorry for so long and any typing errors. I'm a mechanic, not a typist 😁
Ha ha, I have seen that air conditioner radiator with fins missing like that - the owner was really proud of his high powered pressure washer.
The lady sucking air in slo-mo made this video even better lol
I’ve seen plenty of A/C condensers that look like that.
Nobody ever replaces them until the air stops blowing cold.
We usually just see them smashed in or plugged. But completely missing was a first for us! 🤣 ...220k on it.
