Burning a fire in an enclosed space? Is the driver not giving themselves carbon monoxide poisoning? Imagine they lose consciousness while driving and cause an accident.
I have so many questions every time there’s a clip that ends with customer declined to fix *insert serious safety issue* Also, the ones where the car has a cockroach infestation… and they just want an oil change. Do you get hazard pay, or just decline service? I’m hoping the latter.
The shop declines service when that happens. They're not getting paid to put their health at risk. Well, not from *cockroaches* anyway. Reminds me of a computer I fixed once. I used to do on-site service and support, which means if your computer was being fixed under warranty, I came to you. There was one customer who had to push a bunch of dirty plates aside just so I'd have room to work. There was _mold_ on some of those plates, they'd been there so long. The power supply was dead... when I shook it, parts of dead cockroaches fell out. I fixed it, but told them that if I ever had to fix their computer again, the roaches and the mold had better be gone, or I would just walk out without fixing the computer, and void their remaining warranty.
Can you imagine a cop pulling you over at night and sees a live flame thrower in the back seat? He must have fun offering hitchhikers rides. " no thanks, it's only 100 miles to the next town."
The coolant chuff chuff loco was funny. The cause was instantly obvious as we used to have the same problem in Napier-Deltic engines in Ton Class minehunters and minesweepers back in the 1980's. The cylinder liners would crack and blow coolant and smoke out of the header tank. We got through 6 or so starboard engines in 2 years. We could replace an engine in a weekend which required the top of the engine room to be removed and replaced.
2:36 ah yes…. Wheels that are bigger than most car tires…. That must make the speedometer even more accurate! (I know, I know, you do you. Just realize that if you get big wheels and thin tires, don’t be surprised when your car rides like sh!t and you start breaking stuff that wouldn’t have broken, had you gone more conservative with your wheel and tire setup.)

i know specifics are irrelevant but the woman who died drove a 2017 hyundai ioniq blue which is a fckn hybrid with a fuel tank capacity of less than 12 gallons 😐
Before you are issued a drivers license basic vehicle maintenance apptitude should be required 0.05. Nothing fancy, just oil, coolant, belts and tires. The amount of money this would save and possibly lives would be worth the effort and cost.
You get this in the current UK driving test ("show me" and "tell me" questions), one is done before you start to drive (usually a maintenance related question) and the other is when driving (operating a control like the windscreen washers), there are about 21 questions of which 2 will be picked for the test..

@@paulrhodes3944 Too true!
Still I'd prefer they got either an inspection failed or have taken their license away than having governments decide who is stupid and who is not.
Yes !!!
1:40 ALL ABOARD! lol
New channel intro 😂😆
I love the Jeep heater, I can light my blunts at the same time while staying warm.
I could never have that in my vehicle because it would prevent me from having my dogs ride along with me. 😊
Loved the demolished interior. I’m sure he “Informed” the tech all the screws and clips “were in” the cup holder
I'm thinking that was a salvaged car getting repaired at home......hopefully
@@0004ogre and maybe the key was lost or damaged and they need to test the engine because looks like front-end was mostly replaced
All I can say is WOW! 😳
Always excited for a new upload!
😁
@@JustRolledIn They really make my day!
I am mighty impressed with the Train ChooChoo car.. I am unsure I would want it fixed.
Just when I think there may be hope for humanity...you drop one of these.
1:09 Malibu probably was a total lost, bought in an auction, trying to put back together and possibly resell it lol
And the "Darwin award" goes to clip #2
I wish all garages were as honest and efficient as you guys. Gold Stars all round!
Mechanics send it these in from various shops, they don't all come from the same shop.
The flame thrower, looks like a solution to a problem my grandfather would have done.
He was from the Old country.
Never the best solutions in many cases. But he was awesome. 😁
old beetles used to have a petrol powered heater you could just ignite and leave on
@@andromedach Really? I know the early ones had semaphore turn signals- Flip a lever, and an arrow would pop up, on the left or right side of the car.
@@BakedRBeans - Those turn signals were fantastic.
Not only signal a turn, but if long enough, take out a pedestrian too close to the curb.
@@dirtfarmer7472 ahhh yes, the handy "WEBASTO" great on those cold start mornings. Set the time for it to fire up, and she's nice and toasty when you get in. 😁😁😁🥳🥳🥳🥳
Burning a fire in an enclosed space? Is the driver not giving themselves carbon monoxide poisoning? Imagine they lose consciousness while driving and cause an accident.
Don't worry. His brains hasn't got oxygen in ages.
Orange flames make me sleepy when I drive....
To be fair, the pain of having your hair on fire will probably keep them awake.
Cheap method, self cremation, The bottle of gas probably cost more than a second hand fix from junk yard.😄
How tf do these people make it thru each day🤯🧐
That Dodge Dart was ready to carry some gold prospectors out to 1840’s California.
"The wildest ride in the wilderness"
The battery 'fix' had me screaming.....
It's quite humorous, seeing what people drag into the shop, but yet, the tiny rust hole in my unibody makes one shop not pass my vehicle.
That’s the way it should be
I do not know cars but love this channel!
1:02
How the hell did the car even move if the customer took the entire interior apart?!
Got towed in. Can still push it around. 💪
@@JustRolledIn wow... And declined all services too.
I have so many questions every time there’s a clip that ends with customer declined to fix *insert serious safety issue*
Also, the ones where the car has a cockroach infestation… and they just want an oil change. Do you get hazard pay, or just decline service? I’m hoping the latter.
maybe the customer is trying for a darwin medal?
The shop declines service when that happens. They're not getting paid to put their health at risk. Well, not from *cockroaches* anyway.
Reminds me of a computer I fixed once. I used to do on-site service and support, which means if your computer was being fixed under warranty, I came to you. There was one customer who had to push a bunch of dirty plates aside just so I'd have room to work. There was _mold_ on some of those plates, they'd been there so long. The power supply was dead... when I shook it, parts of dead cockroaches fell out. I fixed it, but told them that if I ever had to fix their computer again, the roaches and the mold had better be gone, or I would just walk out without fixing the computer, and void their remaining warranty.
I loved how that little guy stared back at the camera
You guys should do a "my vehicle sounds like a ______" compilation. Those are my favorites
ok the ''train car'' is just adorable
Wheel of fortune made me lol.
GATHER UP GUYS! Time do draw straws! Short straw grabs the Opossum!
Wheel of Fortune!!!...That had me rolling!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that possum peeking out at 2:04!
Connecticut doesn't have any safety inspections. Crazy
Can you imagine a cop pulling you over at night and sees a live flame thrower in the back seat?
He must have fun offering hitchhikers rides. " no thanks, it's only 100 miles to the next town."
That Whistlin' Dodge had me crying with laughter.
What can you say, cant make this stuff up! Love it
1:20 - the embodiment of "i have no idea what i'm doing"
0:30 brave mechanics. I wouldn’t dare to stand even 100ft from that car
The coolant chuff chuff loco was funny. The cause was instantly obvious as we used to have the same problem in Napier-Deltic engines in Ton Class minehunters and minesweepers back in the 1980's. The cylinder liners would crack and blow coolant and smoke out of the header tank. We got through 6 or so starboard engines in 2 years. We could replace an engine in a weekend which required the top of the engine room to be removed and replaced.
I would so love to see a Deltic engine swap in a car.
You wouldn't even need a transmission. It would move from pure noise and awesomeness.
Some scary cars driving around
0:29 in, "and we have a winner folks! Come back yesterday for your chance to win the Darwin award!!"
2:36 ah yes…. Wheels that are bigger than most car tires…. That must make the speedometer even more accurate!
(I know, I know, you do you. Just realize that if you get big wheels and thin tires, don’t be surprised when your car rides like sh!t and you start breaking stuff that wouldn’t have broken, had you gone more conservative with your wheel and tire setup.)
Come on Will, The only reason they put 26s on there cause 30s won t fit. They gotta look cool
@@deansapp4635 I mean… they could just cut the fenders to fit, right? With everything else that’s broken, they’ll need the extra room!😂
@@willhutton1516 They did a dangerous job modifying the suspension to get those wheels to fit. Just cutting the fenders is not enough
Yup. They’re too cheap from buying $6000 wheels to get $1000 in custom, proper parts to make them fit.
@@willhutton1516 You are so right I was a mechanic for 35 years. I ve seen that and worse. I refused to work on those death traps
I always like these videos
That Choo Choo made me smile... Why would you want to fix that. =)
That Wheel of Fortune reference made me giggle after shaking my head during the entire video.
Wheel of fortune just painted my living room wall with spaghetti sauce, good news? The spaghetti was apparently perfectly cooked as I'm currently looking at it; still just "hanging on." Much like a lot if vehichles I'm your videos 😆 🤣
0:30 when the southeast US was dealing with fuel shortages, a woman in my area died after a very minor fender bender because the 80 gallons of fuel in her trunk exploded. i’ve also seen people try to use lighters to warm up the nozzles at gas stations because they think it’ll make the fuel dispense faster. i hate it here.
i know specifics are irrelevant but the woman who died drove a 2017 hyundai ioniq blue which is a fckn hybrid with a fuel tank capacity of less than 12 gallons 😐
During a fuel shortage in the UK someone dragged a wheelie bin into a petrol station and tried to fill it with fuel; there are idiots everywhere!
Before you are issued a drivers license basic vehicle maintenance apptitude should be required 0.05. Nothing fancy, just oil, coolant, belts and tires. The amount of money this would save and possibly lives would be worth the effort and cost.
You get this in the current UK driving test ("show me" and "tell me" questions), one is done before you start to drive (usually a maintenance related question) and the other is when driving (operating a control like the windscreen washers), there are about 21 questions of which 2 will be picked for the test..
Exactly!!!!
If they did there wouldn't be any licenses given out
