A couple things i've learned from watching this channel. 1:There are alot of people buying cars they cannot afford. 2: There are people out there whose sanity should be called into question.
And there are people who shouldn’t be out on the road at all! Come to think of it, none of us should: we definitely could use much more public transit in the USA and walkable cities so people who can’t drive (and just people in general) wouldn’t have to rely on cars to get everywhere all the damn time. Have you seen today’s electric transit? It’s fast, it’s eco-friendly, it doesn’t need to be maintained and it’s absolutely AMAZING-LOOKING!
Most of the cars on this channel are beaters or junk. The #1 reason people decline repairs or drive a car that should be scrapped, is lack of money - not necessarily lack of brains.
@Sashazur exactly, I have been guilty of driving garbage for that same reason. Not this dangerous mind you, but borderline. I have sent 2 to the scrapyard before I could afford a better used car. However, getting the last 1-2 years out of a beater while saving up for a nice car is a cheaper way than paying all that intrest on a loan.
Probably my all-time favorite story from the Reader’s Digest came from the late 70s-early 80s, when the author was hitchhiking in Arizona (I think it was), and a guy pulls up in a barely-functional pickup. The author said he considered not taking the ride with him, but went ahead and did so. It was after dusk, and without headlights or taillights, he was obviously pulled over by a state trooper. “No headlights, no taillights, no driver’s side door, no…” The trooper stopped writing after a whole string of violations, ripped up the ticket, and wrote out a new ticket: “Impersonating a motor vehicle.” 🤣🤪
My grandfather in the 70's got pulled over for a loud muffler and had an argument with the cop about how his muffler was not loud, but quiet as could be. It was sitting in the backseat after having fallen off! 😂
@@monad_tcp yep but what’s even worse is that a business can sale a car with it being like that and get away with by it I’m so glad I live in the south
A former service manager I worked for thought that the recalls were great for getting customers into the shop to sell them work. My experience is that recall customers do not buy anything. If it's not free. It's not for me.
A Customer of mine said if i could just replace his oil filter because the oil filter was rusty and actually leaking through hole/rust on the oil filter itself. "Can you just replace the oil filter?" Damn some people.
The Customer drove away and said they'd fix it themselve with frame repair kit. My absolute favorite, I was thinking where is this miracle cure for entire rusted car?
Mechanic: "Your car is a literal deathtrap, come see for yourself." Customer: "You're just trying to trick me into paying for repairs I don't need!" Very shady e-mail: "You've won a billion dollars! Just enter your credit card information and it's all yours." Customer: "GOLLY GEE I'M A BILLIONAIRE"
Mechanics can be a bit cheeky with little add-ons that, if you happen to know enough about cars and know your own, you know you probably don't really need. Well, you don't need them to do it with the additional cost of their time when you can just order that particular part and fit it yourself at home for half the cost. If you have the tools needed to take off a wheel, and you should, they should be in the boot of your car, then you shouldn't have issues changing brake pads, discs, maybe control arms etc. And you can do some basic maintenance with the engine up front (that's where the engine usually is, it's the large noisy thing under the bonnet), such as changing oil, spark plugs etc. That's where the average garage is getting you paying more than what you should be, because people are somehow allowed to drive a near 2 tonne potential death trap that they know very little about, which is just bloody stupid if you ask me, which you didn't but whatever. Had my way, I'd make it so you'd have to display some decent enough mechanical knowledge and ability to care for your vehicle before you ever get to sit in the drivers seat and get a licence. That gives the driver some useful knowledge and skills, prevents then being taken advantage of, and helps protects other road users from those who are genuinely too stupid to be allowed to drive. Won't stop people being lazy and failing to perform a few basic checks before they start driving (I know, people think it's tedious. But it's important, make sure your fluids are in order at the least ), but a few gory videos and/or photos could help with an attitude adjustment. No one wants to end up looking like Porsche girl, it's not open casket friendly.
Thing is, 99% of the time, mechanic just mentions the issues they found, but don't actually show them to customers.. And people who drive/buy cars in these conditions obviously don't want to spend a single dime on them.
I've that before. The customer declined repairs, got mad that the brake noise was still there, and begrudgingly got the work done. Maybe they were related to the Buick Rendezvous pusher and thought repairs would be free.
You know often I’m driving down the highway and see a random vehicle on a straight part of the road in a ditch inexplicably - this video explains a lot about how that could happen.
@@Chris_Garmanthey certainly play a major role, but a Bluetooth chassis or control arms going bye-bye would certainly also make a vehicle challenging to control.
God... 😨 I'm from Spain and I've always complained about paying 50 euros every year for a mandatory technical inspection you have to pass here every year. (for older than 10 years cars) But now I'm HAPPY because those inspections do not let death traps to drive around me.
You know what you don’t see many of? These death traps causing any real world problems. A severe shortage of videos of S. Boxes randomly death trapping. Weird
"Well, the good news is that we couldn't find any rust in your car's subframe. The bad news is that that's because you don't have a subframe any more."
This video is a really good argument for safety inspections in the states that do not have them. I avoided buying a car in Florida after moving down here for as long as possible because I knew my car from Pennsylvania would be good and stay good. Im a mechanic so I kept it up to spec until I got rid of it at 200k miles. New one probably has issues I dont know about yet.
that is truly hilarious that "customer declines repair" for the wheel bearing being bad, the wheel falls off in the parking lot, "alright I'll get it fixed" LMFAO thats good it happened there and not on the road..
@@mikejungferman4744who the hell is Joe bidon? Oh, you mean Joe bid on. Joe on is awesome! He’s never explained where his middle name being bid comes from
I can understand having it towed... reduced liability. With video proof, a shop can prove they aren't liable... but can be out thousands for attorney costs. I was once at a shop when a person refused to have their car towed away. Headed home there was a traffic jam that, I think, involved that car. (It was blocks away so I couldn't be sure.)
I have done it ONCE with a metal rim, until I got paid the next week. ( over the next couple of weeks I met 3 other people who bent rims on that pothole ) I would not do it with any aluminum rims.
Stuff like this makes me happy that my go-to shop does full inspections on all the cars that come in. You could go in just to have your lights changed, and they'd still check the oil, brake, engine coolant, etc.
It should become LEGAL for a mechanic to put a RED tag on any vehicle that doesn’t pass any basic safety inspection so it (the vehicle) cannot be driven!! Then it must be somehow towed or taken to a place to be completely DESTROYED! Sheesh!!
The fact that half these cars made it to the shop is a true testament to how well these cars are designed. Like make fun of how easily cars can break, how hard they are to repair/do maintenance on and all that. But appreciate how many of them can make it to the shop with almost nothing holding the rear end to the front end.
Most of them are less than 20 years, not extremely high miles, yet look like they're on their death beds. There are a hundred RUclips channels of people digging out 50+ year old abandoned cars in better condition. I get the joke, but seriously, we live like this. Something we depend on for everything that costs as much as student loans, is junk before a kid born in the same year can grow up to drive it.
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 A lot of that is just survivorship bias. The only ones you see are the ones that didn't already end up in a scrapyard at the end of their useful life. Most of the vehicles that end up in the kind of unsafe-to-drive condition we see in clips like this are caused by years of neglect in maintenance and upkeep. Problems that could be remediated/fixed are allowed to fester and turn into even more extensive issues. On the other hand, consumers have spoken, and what they want is more features, better safety, and better fuel economy all in a cheaper package. Just like pretty much everything in modern consumer culture these days. To most people a car is just a perpetual monthly payment, not an appliance to be carefully maintained for a few decades of service.

10:20 "This is on the road next to your wife and kids". Exactly. Take it to the junkyard if it's not repairable or worth repairing, dammit. I got rear ended (luckily not severely) in Milwaukee some years back by one of these rusted-out hoopties. Driver was unlicensed, car had expired tags, was uninsured. I had only a scrape on my bumper; the heap was now nearly undriveable. Luckily neither I nor my mother were injured in any way. The other driver was sure terrified, though. Shouldn't have been trying to drive that pile of scrap and now there it was in the middle of the road. Her attempts to make it go were the last thing I saw of it in my rear view mirror as I drove away.
luckly here they got police to find people with uninsured cars and that havent payed road tax, or have done their yearly inspection. but only after they are on the road for 2 months to give em time to get it fixed. now the cameras with licenceplate detection can have you even fined if you drive out outside the grace period.
Every time you guys upload something I’m so glad that we have very, very, very, VERY strict state mandatory inspections in Germany. Yes, it’s annoying and costs money but man am I glad something like these cars could never happen here. Thanks TÜV!
Exactly! And it’s not a good will of german drivers, but a strict law, also germans are probably least inclined to do shoddy repairs…Remember Michelin’s commercial: “…because so much is riding on your tires”. Now bring in your wife and crying kids…!
I work on a farm. We wouldn't even roll Farm Use vehicles that are that unsafe! Keep in mind that we may run them pretty hard, but not to the point of endangering lives. These videos amaze me, and make me even more aware when I am in traffic!😮
"your brakes don't work anymore" - customer declines repair. Scary. In other countries garages are obliged to call the police if the driver tries to drive away. And yes I know, repairs cost money and many US citizens are living from paycheck to paycheck. But if you have and accident, how big are the costs for being in a hospital, especially (if you are living from paycheck to paycheck) when you have no health insurance?
I've just finished watching the zero videos of "Rostige Todesfallen" from Germany. I'm glad we have mandatory (faint American screaming in the background "buht muh Freedumbs!!") safety inspections for our vehicles. Not saying all cars are perfect here, but to get this compilation of rusty deathtraps you'll be waiting a while.
I moved from the rust belt down to FL 15 years ago. It’s so nice to work on vehicles that have no rust. I’m daily driving a 17 year old truck that doesn’t have a speck of rust anywhere on it.
Florida does have rust, you just have not lived there long enough and have zero experience with cars. Florida has a high humidity and salt water environment, both will rust cars out like crazy. Everything along the coast is gone.
As a former mechanic, I’ve seen a lot of stuff like this. I wish there was a lawful way to keep these idiots from driving off the property, due to being so unsafe they could not only crash, and hurt themselves, but to other innocent drivers.
if i take my car in, say for a new clutch, and the mechanic finds other repair work needs to be done, i am always grateful for their attention and always order the repair if i can't do it myself. people think mechanics just look for ways to pad the bill so they decline repairs, but they wouldn't if they saw the issue first hand.
Took my 1st Nissan 350Z to an R35 GTR Specialist as it kept going into Limp Mode about 3 months after purchase. They quoted me £2500 for the repairs but actually told me to decline repairs and advised to sell for parts as the chassis was rusted through. He was even gracious enough to put it back on the lift and show me how bad it was (still nowhere near as bad as these in the video). That's when you know you have an honest mechanic. I did end up selling it for parts and learned an expensive lesson in buying cars.
it always amazes me that those cars still make it to the shop and that the mechanics feel confortable getting below them.. if i saw a rusted through frame in the 4500lb+ piece of metal above my head, i would soil my pants
I've heard that too. Once I heard, "I'm a seller. Not a buyer. People don't come to me to sell me kitchen cabinets. So why should I get new shocks and struts?" People must gift him the materials to build the kitchen cabinets.
Car pulls to the left when doing 85 or more. Can be a perfect reason for saying "itll be fine, its my wife s car" (who only used it to go to the mall at 35 mph.. so, if that is your favorite thing you heard, thats pretty lame lol
Mine was the lead/owner did a lil old ladies a/c and said "it'll last you rest of your life " . Next summer she was back and no a/c says " I ain't dead yet!". I was rolling 🤣
Something that he said at 8:33 is crazy! That "there is no State Safety Inspections where he lives". As a fellow European (kinda) being in England, this just boggles the mind! I want to know what State that is so I know to never drive there.
@@pkbeast There are general requirements on the road you can get pulled over in any state. Only limited urban areas do "emissions testing", but basically they just plug into the diagnostics to see if any fault codes. As long as it has lights and appears to have all of the parts on the vehicle, good to go.
@@pkbeast that's not the full story. There are no *annual* vehicle inspections in many states, but there are still safety inspections required during any transfer of ownership. The only way a vehicle could get like this is through the owner's negligence to maintain. Or fraud.
@@pkbeast I'd much rather keep my money and time opposed to paying the Govt another fee/tax just to say my car runs fine. For every car like this there are 100,000 that are just fine.
Not in my state and probably many other states. Emissions is required here but if you know the right people (aka bribe) you can get thru. I'm sure that applies universally for a Benjamin
State by state decide. There is no federal mandate. Maybe you come from a country with a fraction of the population of the US. We have 280 MILLION CARS.
Honestly everytime i watch one video from this channel i need to check my blood pressure. Cause as mechanic and a disabled due to few car accidents(non fault). It racks my nerves to know and see people who dont care about their vehicles or not know what they bought is absolutely insane to me in my honest opinion. And I want to say, for all the mechanics that have to endure this stupidity….. thank you for your service! For reals!!! Lol
This channel is proof of why we need car inspections. Some people are just to stupid to handle the freedom of no inspections, making life miserable for regular people that can take care of themselves and their cars
Believe me you do NOT want vehicle inspections. Stupid will be stupid no matter what car they drive, and it's just another way for the state to screw you out of your money.
That's a fair point, but unfortunately, some states like NY are so strict that the rules make no sense. If you have a rot hole or missing body grommet, it fails inspection. But if you fill it in with spray foam, it passes. Go figure.
I cannot imagine a country without car inspections. They're mandatory where I live and they fail you if anything is even slightly wrong (sometimes that's actually the problem ironically). How the fuck do people drive the cars showcased on this channel...
This depends on the rules of the inspection. If the govt wants it, they can make life even more miserable for everyone. I live in a no-inspection-needed country, but if I had to take the treadmill tests - when these were required, but not enforced - the car won't make it even when new, straight off assembly line. 16 years later it still runs fine, not a speck of exterior rust, not underneath, and okay mechanically. Brake rotors, pads and tyres were replaced at the mandatory 10-year mark (there wasn't much wear) but otherwise the factory stuff is mostly untouched. Built like a ... car should be built, but won't pass the inspection.
@@kozlowskinator6056 Since I live in Europe I can imagine it, but i'm used to annoying and costly car inspections. However, after watching this channel for some time I understand why they are needed. The main problem in most countries in Europe is the strict rules for modification and the endless applications to get them approved.
It's crazy to think these are the people and cars that are driving beside everyone on the road. But you know it was the other shop that did it! That one no one seems to name!!
"Oh the radiators hissing and half the engines missing And the oil is running dry. Oh there's water in the petrol And sand in the gears. And she hasn't seen a garage in more than 40 year."
Bucket subs are actually kinda legit. It’s not an uncommon DIY audio project. If you fill the base of the bucket with concrete they outperform a lot of cheaper car sub cabinets.
Some mechanics are dishonest and will try to buy your car for scrap value and then fix it themselves and sell it right on the lot even if it looks as bad as this. Never bring your car to a mechanic that sells used cars even if it's good shape. They will try to con you in selling it to them and even try to sell one that they repaired on the lot.
@@stvlu733I started getting all my work done at the dealership. It costs a little more, but I haven't had one issue. They get it done right every time. Mechanics fuck cars up too often.
@@ajspicethere's a middle ground. If out of warranty, ill never go to the dealership. I go to a top rated independent mechanic that has a great reputation. The price difference is insane.
A customer one came in and said that his engine was burning oil and wanted some oil added. He then said the oil was changed by us a couple of months ago. I checked the oil level and saw some really black oil. I replied to him; "You don't go to the dentist with no teeth and tell him you brush your teeth every day". He laughed and said his oil was changed a couple of years ago. I replied "That I believe. That will be 15$".
This is one of those rare moments when I'm actually glad we have so much bureaucracy here in Europe. In the EU, drivers are required to keep their cars in decent condition and need to go every year or two to check the condition of their car.
@@Realistic265with bureaucracy you’ll wind up paying a lot of money to be told you need to buy a new car every decade or you’ll be paying a lot of money under the table to shut the bureaucrat up about your car.
Wow. Just so many rust buckets just driven away. I mean my career is completely northeast with all the rust that entails, and the places I've worked would never allow those vehicles to leave under their own power. Always had them towed. Too much liability TBH.
@@Groza_Dallocort Sure, MOT FTW! But we're all the same species as those people who drive around like this, mind you. In my country before annual inspections were mandatory there was a television programme that every week showed the "wreckage of the week". Usually completely rusted through cars featured there. ~1985 I think it was. For an example: watch?v=Uo9wlhGFK_g
@@mikepalmer1971 True but the police is rather good at stopping those guys besides where I live you both get a fine and you wont get the same amount from your insurence. Granted people that drive rolling scrapheaps probably don't care about insurence
In the UK they would not be allowed to leave the garage most of these !!! Every year your vehicle must have an MOT and even if you have a perished washer it fails and it must be fixed.
Sadly there are a number of states in the US that don't require yearly inspections and I can tell you that most of these are from those states. Washington state is one of those... Had an ex room mate who had a car that was totaled 3 times and each time he just got it back out of the junk yard after it was towed to a skeezy mechanic he knew and had mostly the visual damage repaired and only enough to get it going again. Didn't know that till it was refusing to start one day in a parking lot and I popped the hood to see if I could problem solve a bit.... We got it running again but I refused to get in that car ever again. It was a litteral death trap because the frame had been "repaired" multiple times in the most half assed way possible and was rusted almost completely through on the scrap metal used to fix gaps.
@@SilvaDreams I'm in Ontario, my province does not require inspections. I drive professionally, I don't think I've ever seen a car as deficient as these on the road.
I live in Maryland. A safety inspection is only required when looking to title a vehicle. Outside of that, we only have emissions testing every two years.
This video makes me feel blessed as an Aussie mechanic, that I have no only have the right but the obligation to make sure vehicles I think present a risk to the owners and others off the road
I don't disagree, but it's already expensive to deal with insurance and tags ($130 is a good rate for insurance, and it costs $80 for tags) so the inspections should be free and paid for with the exorbitant amount of money they get from tags and fuel taxes. Instead of out of pocket.
We have inspections here, but there are plenty of people who want to do away with them. They bring up the fact that some states don’t have them and you don’t see many shitboxes on the road in them. Having lived in a few no-inspection states I tell them they’re full of shit.
VERY happy to live in a state free of inspections. Having done them decades ago before we ended them they did nothing. You simply paid the right inspector and got a tag. If you couldn't pay then you probably didn't pass even if the vehicle was fine. It's that way in every state, no exceptions, and if you imagine otherwise your adorably naive. Government is corruption and should always be limited.
From January 1973 to June 1974, as an Army Specialist, I was stationed on Okinawa with the 10 Ton Truck rebuild branch. All the 'bedazzled' cars I see here are also what I saw as a trend with the Japanese cars there! I was told the fad was because, on Okinawa, everything was so close together that mounting all that 'stuff' was cool because the viewer couldn't stand too far back to see 'all the car' all at once! That actually made sense back then! 🤣🤣
I'm so very thankful that where I live (New Zealand) has Nationwide, Mandatory roadworthiness testing of all vehicles - every 12 months for vehicles made after 2000, 6 monthly before 2000.
I mean, theres nothing wrong with repairing the rusted chassis of your car. I had a pontiac grand prix where the rear trailing arm mount rotted away from the body and I took 4 grade 10 bolts and just hammered it through the floor. Got another two winters out of it that way.
oh my god the dude just pushing his car around made me laugh that's the funniest (and probably one of the most dangerous) way you could be transporting your car
I grew up poor. In a region known for rust. I've been known to rig things up on my own car to keep it going. And I've driven some sketchy vehicles. But, I was aware of what was wrong and drove accordingly. Even I wouldn't drive most of these cars. You have to know when to give up. Sometimes they just can't be fixed. But if you can find another one like it. Make a good vehicle out of 2
Should be able to ring police straight after the customer declines repairs, that way the cops can immediately pull them over, fine them, & have vehicle towed at customer's expense!
Absolutely & i dont like pigs 🐷 but this is redickulous . The smartest comment & has the least amount of likes etc . Shows where peoples heads are , up there as. S
@@davestevens4263 Rules differ greatly between countries, please take that into account. I know shops in germany can stop you from going on the road, pending an official police inspection, but this is rarely used. Simply put, we don't have the resources (ex- "manpower") to do so. And having mandatory safety checks every 2 years helps sorting out the severely dangerous scrapheaps.

Customer: "You're just trying to trick me into paying for repairs I don't need!"
Very shady e-mail: "You've won a billion dollars! Just enter your credit card information and it's all yours."
Customer: "GOLLY GEE I'M A BILLIONAIRE"
Yeah but the mechanic is trying to *cost* them money - that Nigerian prince is offering to *give* them money! Totally different.
Mechanics can be a bit cheeky with little add-ons that, if you happen to know enough about cars and know your own, you know you probably don't really need. Well, you don't need them to do it with the additional cost of their time when you can just order that particular part and fit it yourself at home for half the cost.
If you have the tools needed to take off a wheel, and you should, they should be in the boot of your car, then you shouldn't have issues changing brake pads, discs, maybe control arms etc. And you can do some basic maintenance with the engine up front (that's where the engine usually is, it's the large noisy thing under the bonnet), such as changing oil, spark plugs etc. That's where the average garage is getting you paying more than what you should be, because people are somehow allowed to drive a near 2 tonne potential death trap that they know very little about, which is just bloody stupid if you ask me, which you didn't but whatever. Had my way, I'd make it so you'd have to display some decent enough mechanical knowledge and ability to care for your vehicle before you ever get to sit in the drivers seat and get a licence. That gives the driver some useful knowledge and skills, prevents then being taken advantage of, and helps protects other road users from those who are genuinely too stupid to be allowed to drive. Won't stop people being lazy and failing to perform a few basic checks before they start driving (I know, people think it's tedious. But it's important, make sure your fluids are in order at the least ), but a few gory videos and/or photos could help with an attitude adjustment. No one wants to end up looking like Porsche girl, it's not open casket friendly.
Here in Utah they got rid of safety and only do emissions safety is only required on salvage title or commercial fleet vehicles
Mechanic: I've changed your valve cover, but it required me to install all new brakes and suspension, so your cost is now $2182 instead of $221
Thing is, 99% of the time, mechanic just mentions the issues they found, but don't actually show them to customers.. And people who drive/buy cars in these conditions obviously don't want to spend a single dime on them.

You know often I’m driving down the highway and see a random vehicle on a straight part of the road in a ditch inexplicably - this video explains a lot about how that could happen.
i've always wondered about that

God... 😨 I'm from Spain and I've always complained about paying 50 euros every year for a mandatory technical inspection you have to pass here every year. (for older than 10 years cars) But now I'm HAPPY because those inspections do not let death traps to drive around me.
We (in NL) had a weekly car show in the 80's.
One part was always "wreck of the week".
This video is a bit like that.
Inspections do absolutely nothing except funnel more of our money to the state
10 years?? it's 3 years in most countries...
You know what you don’t see many of? These death traps causing any real world problems. A severe shortage of videos of S. Boxes randomly death trapping. Weird
It’s strange. In my state in the US we have to have inspections even when the car is brand new and yearly after yet other states require nothing.

How do you "decline repairs" when the mechanic refuses to work on it?
The "buy a frame repair kit online" one... I had almost forgotten about it!
The repair kit consists of two cans of spray foam, and a roll of duct tape.
Oh, and some undercoating to hide the spray foam.
@@61rampy65 The premium kit comes with bailing wire and zip ties.
I had to pause the video.
$20 says this is the same person who, because their computer was "running slowly", _downloaded_ more RAM.
Good grief. Frame repair kits really are a thing! That’s scary.
This video is a really good argument for safety inspections in the states that do not have them. I avoided buying a car in Florida after moving down here for as long as possible because I knew my car from Pennsylvania would be good and stay good. Im a mechanic so I kept it up to spec until I got rid of it at 200k miles. New one probably has issues I dont know about yet.
that is truly hilarious that "customer declines repair" for the wheel bearing being bad, the wheel falls off in the parking lot, "alright I'll get it fixed" LMFAO thats good it happened there and not on the road..

They just wanted that nightmare of a liability gone.
I can understand having it towed... reduced liability. With video proof, a shop can prove they aren't liable... but can be out thousands for attorney costs. I was once at a shop when a person refused to have their car towed away. Headed home there was a traffic jam that, I think, involved that car. (It was blocks away so I couldn't be sure.)

@@batsonelectronics Aluminum is metal as well, I am sure you meant to say steel rim in your first sentence.
It can be done but with the wheel on the ground. I've hammered wheels straight before.
Stuff like this makes me happy that my go-to shop does full inspections on all the cars that come in. You could go in just to have your lights changed, and they'd still check the oil, brake, engine coolant, etc.
It should not only be legal for mechanics to back-hand these kind of customers, it should be REQUIRED!
It should become LEGAL for a mechanic to put a RED tag on any vehicle that doesn’t pass any basic safety inspection so it (the vehicle) cannot be driven!! Then it must be somehow towed or taken to a place to be completely DESTROYED! Sheesh!!
The fact that half these cars made it to the shop is a true testament to how well these cars are designed. Like make fun of how easily cars can break, how hard they are to repair/do maintenance on and all that. But appreciate how many of them can make it to the shop with almost nothing holding the rear end to the front end.
Most of them are less than 20 years, not extremely high miles, yet look like they're on their death beds. There are a hundred RUclips channels of people digging out 50+ year old abandoned cars in better condition. I get the joke, but seriously, we live like this. Something we depend on for everything that costs as much as student loans, is junk before a kid born in the same year can grow up to drive it.
I swear cars only need spite and ignorance to work. Humans are 40k orks
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 A lot of that is just survivorship bias. The only ones you see are the ones that didn't already end up in a scrapyard at the end of their useful life. Most of the vehicles that end up in the kind of unsafe-to-drive condition we see in clips like this are caused by years of neglect in maintenance and upkeep. Problems that could be remediated/fixed are allowed to fester and turn into even more extensive issues.
On the other hand, consumers have spoken, and what they want is more features, better safety, and better fuel economy all in a cheaper package. Just like pretty much everything in modern consumer culture these days. To most people a car is just a perpetual monthly payment, not an appliance to be carefully maintained for a few decades of service.
That’s kinda like saying someone limped to the hospital on a broken ankle

"Unsafe At Any Speed" A lot more than Corvairs, it seems!
10:20 "This is on the road next to your wife and kids". Exactly. Take it to the junkyard if it's not repairable or worth repairing, dammit. I got rear ended (luckily not severely) in Milwaukee some years back by one of these rusted-out hoopties. Driver was unlicensed, car had expired tags, was uninsured. I had only a scrape on my bumper; the heap was now nearly undriveable.
Luckily neither I nor my mother were injured in any way. The other driver was sure terrified, though. Shouldn't have been trying to drive that pile of scrap and now there it was in the middle of the road. Her attempts to make it go were the last thing I saw of it in my rear view mirror as I drove away.
luckly here they got police to find people with uninsured cars and that havent payed road tax, or have done their yearly inspection. but only after they are on the road for 2 months to give em time to get it fixed. now the cameras with licenceplate detection can have you even fined if you drive out outside the grace period.

Customer decline further repairs must be the most scary thing in this video....
"your brakes don't work anymore" - customer declines repair. Scary. In other countries garages are obliged to call the police if the driver tries to drive away.
And yes I know, repairs cost money and many US citizens are living from paycheck to paycheck. But if you have and accident, how big are the costs for being in a hospital, especially (if you are living from paycheck to paycheck) when you have no health insurance?
Except for the cases where the customer said that their vehicles will be junked (and sent to the scrapyard).
Customer declined repairs and just drove away. But I'll guess not very far!
I've just finished watching the zero videos of "Rostige Todesfallen" from Germany. I'm glad we have mandatory (faint American screaming in the background "buht muh Freedumbs!!") safety inspections for our vehicles.

@petergrossman2450 if I'm right it's the northern states that gets a lot of snow and ice so they use salt and it causes frame rust
Florida does have rust, you just have not lived there long enough and have zero experience with cars. Florida has a high humidity and salt water environment, both will rust cars out like crazy. Everything along the coast is gone.
As a former mechanic, I’ve seen a lot of stuff like this. I wish there was a lawful way to keep these idiots from driving off the property, due to being so unsafe they could not only crash, and hurt themselves, but to other innocent drivers.

if i take my car in, say for a new clutch, and the mechanic finds other repair work needs to be done, i am always grateful for their attention and always order the repair if i can't do it myself. people think mechanics just look for ways to pad the bill so they decline repairs, but they wouldn't if they saw the issue first hand.
Took my 1st Nissan 350Z to an R35 GTR Specialist as it kept going into Limp Mode about 3 months after purchase. They quoted me £2500 for the repairs but actually told me to decline repairs and advised to sell for parts as the chassis was rusted through. He was even gracious enough to put it back on the lift and show me how bad it was (still nowhere near as bad as these in the video). That's when you know you have an honest mechanic. I did end up selling it for parts and learned an expensive lesson in buying cars.

Believe me you do NOT want vehicle inspections. Stupid will be stupid no matter what car they drive, and it's just another way for the state to screw you out of your money.
That's a fair point, but unfortunately, some states like NY are so strict that the rules make no sense. If you have a rot hole or missing body grommet, it fails inspection. But if you fill it in with spray foam, it passes. Go figure.
I cannot imagine a country without car inspections. They're mandatory where I live and they fail you if anything is even slightly wrong (sometimes that's actually the problem ironically). How the fuck do people drive the cars showcased on this channel...
This depends on the rules of the inspection. If the govt wants it, they can make life even more miserable for everyone. I live in a no-inspection-needed country, but if I had to take the treadmill tests - when these were required, but not enforced - the car won't make it even when new, straight off assembly line. 16 years later it still runs fine, not a speck of exterior rust, not underneath, and okay mechanically. Brake rotors, pads and tyres were replaced at the mandatory 10-year mark (there wasn't much wear) but otherwise the factory stuff is mostly untouched. Built like a ... car should be built, but won't pass the inspection.
@@kozlowskinator6056 Since I live in Europe I can imagine it, but i'm used to annoying and costly car inspections. However, after watching this channel for some time I understand why they are needed.

Didn't know that till it was refusing to start one day in a parking lot and I popped the hood to see if I could problem solve a bit....

4:39 Lil Wayne- "highway to heaven, God do you see my headlights" 😂😂😂😂
The customers should have to watch these videos before driving away. Some of these are wild.
We should be allowed to see their faces when they decline repairs haha
inspections should be compulsory in all states. That's just putting other people's lives at risk.
I don't disagree, but it's already expensive to deal with insurance and tags ($130 is a good rate for insurance, and it costs $80 for tags) so the inspections should be free and paid for with the exorbitant amount of money they get from tags and fuel taxes. Instead of out of pocket.
If you cannot afford an inspection, insurance, registration, vehicle upkeep... BUY A F#@KING BICYCLE! You're not ENTITLED to own a car.
I don't think you should need to pay for inspection if the subframe is that rusted, it should be obvious.
We have inspections here, but there are plenty of people who want to do away with them. They bring up the fact that some states don’t have them and you don’t see many shitboxes on the road in them. Having lived in a few no-inspection states I tell them they’re full of shit.
VERY happy to live in a state free of inspections. Having done them decades ago before we ended them they did nothing. You simply paid the right inspector and got a tag. If you couldn't pay then you probably didn't pass even if the vehicle was fine. It's that way in every state, no exceptions, and if you imagine otherwise your adorably naive. Government is corruption and should always be limited.
From January 1973 to June 1974, as an Army Specialist, I was stationed on Okinawa with the 10 Ton Truck rebuild branch. All the 'bedazzled' cars I see here are also what I saw as a trend with the Japanese cars there! I was told the fad was because, on Okinawa, everything was so close together that mounting all that 'stuff' was cool because the viewer couldn't stand too far back to see 'all the car' all at once! That actually made sense back then! 🤣🤣
I'm so very thankful that where I live (New Zealand) has Nationwide, Mandatory roadworthiness testing of all vehicles - every 12 months for vehicles made after 2000, 6 monthly before 2000.
7:00 i was about to say they made a claymore but i was somehow impressed and disappointed at the same time
This guy is the Daily Dose of Internet for car people
“This Chrystler 300 came in for an airbag recall” as a jeep owner I was like “yep sounds right” :)
4:34 When you don't have enough "pieces of flair" on your daily ride!
"Office Space" reference. nice
@@ZaPirate I was going to ask if they got the memo about the new cover sheets for their TPS reports.
When the rotor is cheaper than the pads but they declined repair shows 200 IQ.
Air bag?? That's a freaking Claymore MINE!!!!!
I'm surprised none of those rusted vehicles didn't actually break in half when raised on the lift...
12:45 😂😆🤣 Hahaha, Customer: I will buy a frame repair kit online !!!
from Temu.
@@jocelynmorency8333 Even better LOL
customer is disappointed when the kit came back for spectacles
@@jocelynmorency8333 Right after they have another shop, reinforce it with spray foam! 😂
I mean, theres nothing wrong with repairing the rusted chassis of your car. I had a pontiac grand prix where the rear trailing arm mount rotted away from the body and I took 4 grade 10 bolts and just hammered it through the floor. Got another two winters out of it that way.
oh my god the dude just pushing his car around made me laugh that's the funniest (and probably one of the most dangerous) way you could be transporting your car
I grew up poor. In a region known for rust. I've been known to rig things up on my own car to keep it going. And I've driven some sketchy vehicles. But, I was aware of what was wrong and drove accordingly. Even I wouldn't drive most of these cars. You have to know when to give up. Sometimes they just can't be fixed. But if you can find another one like it. Make a good vehicle out of 2
Should be able to ring police straight after the customer declines repairs, that way the cops can immediately pull them over, fine them, & have vehicle towed at customer's expense!
Was thinking the same thing. People get killed by things like this, surely the mechanics have some responsibility to report vehicles in this state.
Well, try declining all repairs and driving away in Germany, then.
Absolutely & i dont like pigs 🐷 but this is redickulous . The smartest comment & has the least amount of likes etc . Shows where peoples heads are , up there as. S
@@davestevens4263 Rules differ greatly between countries, please take that into account. I know shops in germany can stop you from going on the road, pending an official police inspection, but this is rarely used. Simply put, we don't have the resources (ex- "manpower") to do so. And having mandatory safety checks every 2 years helps sorting out the severely dangerous scrapheaps.
As a mechanic I have said this many times
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase " On a wing and a prayer".
3:20 that must be the successor to the GMC Jimmy, it's the new GMC Shimmy!
