♥ ECREW
What is Ecrew? When I had to uproot and move to Indiana, there was a car community called Bcrew (B for Bloomington, Indiana). These guys became my family. Instead of partying on the weekends, I was working on cars- and I loved it. Since starting youtube, I have started what I call Ecrew. It's a community where you get to take 10min out of your day and be involved in a build, but more importantly it's a family.

We confirmed that this was not the friend or person the car was sold to. We are pretty sure the car was abandoned and then stolen by these guys. There was about 5 or 6 cars on the property considered abandon and likely stolen. The cop was super sweet about everything and extremely helpful. Now she's back lol what should we do next?
What does Manscape have for the ladies?
The poopturd project begins!
I am a fan because of Poop Turd. I bought a Subaru myself and was just watching random Subaru videos on RUclips and stumbled across Poop Turd and I haven’t missed a video since. And for the record it was your sense of humor that won me over. You should totally put the brown wrap back on!! 😉
Make er into a hot rod rally mobile lol 😂
Watch out for Durgs in it.
This was tragic, hilarious and scary as heck all at the same time.
Glad she took a police officer with her
Not tragic. She is making money on this video. Let's put things in perspective.
Problems with the DMV? Another fine government institution doing its best.
Its officially a real poop turd indeed..
This car was in GTA real life version..
Wow, a car thief who "legally" sold back a stolen car with the presence of a cop 😂 He must be proud of himself.
Didn’t seem stolen more like abandoned
And I'm sure he's going to send that guy in jail his money... they have access to RUclips in jail, don't they? :P
If it hasn't been reported stolen and is abandoned, then it's not really considered stolen. It's just an abandoned vehicle.
If you can't tell they stole this then you are slow...
@@LoKiFee weird no report of it being stolen.
When i see some of my old cars on the road i feel exactly like you, because typically the "new" owners of my old cars never keep them up to the standards that i once did and it breaks my heart.
Most people treat everything they own as "disposable". USA! USA!
Did you confront them, tell them "Git yer' act together!!"?
^..^~~
Same, but with me it's cars I fixed for other people who end up selling them since I don't sell my cars. Several years ago, my friend bought a beautiful Cadillac CTS from auction and we spent so much time and had so much fun rebuilding it and driving it all over. Last year he sold it to a friend for a great price, who quickly flipped it for a quick buck. I saw it at Dollar General last week and it's amazing how its current owner trashed it so bad in less than a year. Cracked bumpers, curbed all 4 wheels, scratches and dings everywhere, broken door handles, interior trashed, exhaust ruined, etc. It doesn't even look like the same car anymore 😥
Shut up
@@averyalexander2303 I would only fix cars for people who i deem worthy of taking care of the car after i put countless hours into making it just the way they want, if not then what’s the point besides a little extra money
I sold an 82 S-10 shortbed that I loved for $500, but was in rough shape. Then 3 months later, I saw it at the gas station and he had already welded on new rockers, new metal over the wheel wells, body worked and it was primered as well as had new seats and carpet. He said he was getting ready to replace the 2.5 Iron Duke with a 4.3 turbo. I was so happy to see it getting the care it deserved! It's gotta hurt seeing one of your loved old vehicles being treated so badly!
That was probably one of most sketchiest situations I've seen in a long time. Glad you played it safe and the cops where there! Same thing happened to me sold a car to a guy, ( so called friend). Never registered it, and got hit up for the impound fees after he left it on the street.
people think cali is all movie stars, beaches and bikinis but it more meth heads and total sketch.
You don't watch whistlin diesel?
Calm down
I'm curious how that would have gone down with out an officer there!
@@289ToDah7o5 There is another way to approach the situation.
All of my vehicles, except two [under duress] were purchased from individuals.
A. During the assessment, evaluation, thorough examination of the vehicle, the owner is included in my assessment, evaluation, etc. - in a kind manner, noticing the behavior, asking questions to the owner during my examination, etc.
-1. The condition of the vehicle is affected by the owner, its care, maintenance, etc. much which is unseen during the examination of the vehicle alone
-2. The current status, situation of the vehicle, history, etc. is also evident through the current owner
B. Similarly with purchase of a used vehicle, is the sale of a used vehicle - the buyer to be the new owner is equally important - as seen with this situation
C.->Emelia was not directly involved in the sale, nor done through a 'seller' - rather a shop she relies upon, with good people - just they were not so careful with the individual buyer it was sold
D.-> thus, though Emelia and perhaps the shop owners figured the buyer would have completed all of the legal ownership transfer properly, he did not and was clearly unreliable, irresponsible
E.-> what actually happened to the buyer is almost certainly not what the man Emelia on the property where this Subaru was
->that person is clearly a dishonest, false type person - nearly as bad as, equal or worse than the individual he portrayed the 'previous owner', buyer.
@Emelia Hartford;
F ->Emelia could have just shown up with the police, having reported the vehicle 'lost or stolen' to reclaim her vehicle - the man on the property would have no means to stop the process since he had no legal ownership or title
G.-> Emeila would have paid for, or actually should, could have appeared having her truck and towing, trailer nearby or had Shawn, Sandy or another to bring it after viewing the vehicle ->thus, after determining she wanted to take it to fix it, she would have been able to just tow it away with her own equipment.
Simple.
H. ->But Emelia was not fully, properly prepared.
I. My approach would to have never given that man on the property any money - he clearly had somehow gotten that vehicle there as with others -> thus, basically stolen.
->such he was willing to sell it for $500 including towing it.
All The Best
Sincerely
I've gotten into the habit of removing the license plates when I sell a car, I keep the registration and turning in all the paperwork myself physically at the DMV including the plates. Also get a receipt from the clerk. I generally insist the buyer meets me at the DMV so the title transfer happens in front of me.. Both times I've gotten burned it was a < 1000 dollar car and they played the same game, 100's of parking tickets and they never change the title..
You supposed to take the plates off when ya sell it.
I will forever do this moving forward
This∆
Who doesn’t keep their tags?!?!?
Emilia didn't. She does now though! 😂
When I went to repo a car the police told me my auto dispute was a civil matter and wouldn't get involved in any capacity. That's still technically true for any department. They made an exception for you. Be VERY thankful.
well she's rich and famous what do you expect
@@schlomoshekelstein908 No shit sherlock I wasn't trying to make the comment sound salty.
My case I almost had the guy arrested after all was said and done because ya know, its a whole ass car and people can get VERY angry.
Preventative for people with money, reactionary with the plebs.
Case closed.
He acted in the capacity of a peace officer. Still technically their role. So, no, I don't think any privilege is involved. It's the same when you've been evicted and need to get belongings out.
@@B1GDaddyFatStax Low IQ take.
This is what happened to me
So, let me get this right... You sold the car to a guy, who never registered it. You went there and found your car, but the owner was not present. Then you paid money to a random guy and took the car with you. I'd say, if someone got robbed here, it wasn't you but the guy you sold the car to originally.
You unfortunately are wrong. If said party had simply contacted Her to straighten out the details LAWFULLY. It never would have been the issue it became. Would have it been a hassle? YES. There is still a proper procedure to follow. Hassle or not, the seller is NOT to blame!!
Correct, did they even think "maybe this dude that "went to jail" is just made up and the dude they were talking to was the original guys who bought the car? So in that case you just bought back your old car that someone else had pretty much totaled.
So if you take possession of the car back how does that get you out of paying all those tickets and fines. That's california for you. The simple fact that you have your copy of the pink slip is more than enough to walk away from the car in PA.
@@ProwlersPit Yes, she's absolutely responsible for the tickets now because according to DMV she never sold the car.
I know I am not great with filing paperwork, but I gather you couldn't locate the bill of sale, or you would have had the buyers name and proof of sale. There really should be a way to remove title on the vehicle once you sell it to avoid just these situations.
It’s just crazy how badly people can treat something so bad in such little time. Honestly, I would feel the same and do the same as you if I ran into that situation.
Tweakers
@@Unknown_Ooh yep
This same thing happened to me in 2006. I traded in a truck through a dealership and bought a new truck. Two years later there's a warrant for my arrest for unpaid parking tickets. Long story short, in Texas if a dealer trades a vehicle to another dealer and the second dealer keeps the vehicle as a hauler/ transport they don't have to transfer the title. I was absolutely dumbfounded. Took me over a year to get this straightened out. I spoke with judges, detectives and the DMV. True story yall.
Crazy shit. That sucks. Glad you didn't get arrested
I believe you. Texas 2nd and 3rd party dealerships do some shady things.
Well bud in Texas the titles have a peace that tears off and the seller is responsible to mail it off to the DMV if I'm not mistaken, so it will be in records the vehicle no longer belongs to the seller. Also when selling a vehicle remove registration stickers and license plate from the vehicle. I learned that the hard way by selling a car to a neighbor who in return sold it to someone else who never got it registered and titled changed to their name which the new buyer ran tolls for months and I got billed in the mail. I solved the issue by talking to my neighbor and demanding he better get my license plates and the piece of the title that I was suppose to mail off. Googled helped me out with that.
@@rawdawgtv778 profile name like RAW DOG no wonder you thought it was fine to give new owners of a vehicle YOUR LICENSE PLATES 🤪🥴 wow man, #1I can't believe you just admitted that #2 It astonishes me just as much that you thought you had to comment on here explaining NOT TO do that to others on here like we're that dumb! I legit never heard anyone ever doing that thinking it was the norm. Lmfao. YIKES
@@dawhoda1 I have never heard of, or taken off, plates on any car I have ever bought or sold.
I've also never lived in Texas.
I find it extremely easy to like Emelia. She has a heart as big as a whale and her laughter is just infectious. Plus she knows how to work cars.
you just a simp lmao
Emelia you have a heart of Gold., the way you have with people is unreal.
Enjoying your chanel so much. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪😎
Good on you to restore it :) i feel the memories and time spent watching the build is respected
makes good content too
I'm holding it for my friend...he got 9 years in prison six months ago...sells it for $500. What a guy.
Hahahahahah
Hay meth isnt cheap 😂
i doubt thats the true story lmao
One friend got 9yrs, the other friend k!lled his mom. This dude runs with a great crowd. Oof.
That Sccoby was screeming, 'PLLLLLLEASE don't leave me here :('
Glad you rescued her and bought her home :)
Thank you for uploading this! Truly satisfying content being you actually bought her back! Love ya E!
Officially my FAVORITE episode ever.
Cool car rescue, repo, law enforcement, tough guys with crazy stories, hot chick, barn find, car restoration all in one EPIC video. Whole new love of love & respect for your channel.
Yeah, every one of her videos has a "hot chick" though
@@johnm1008 Yes, captain obvious....
"Barn find" usually means mint but aged car parked in a barn. A "barn find" is not a crashed up destroyed vehicle sitting outside abandoned.
you forgot clickbait in that EPIC tag list..
@@ArbitraryFilmings also wrong… there have been some prettttttty minty barn finds in history.. save for maintenance and tires/consumables obviously.
I never knew getting a car on a trailer could be so entertaining. 😂
lol, it can get worse, trust me. someone else was unloading my car that i had just purchased and the exhaust got hung on a broken board on the trailer and somehow managed to rip the exhaust off and at the same time pop a motor mount. it was unloaded on a slight hill Infront of my house. we found out that the brakes were no good as it went rolling down the hill and my buddy had to chase it down (he ran faster than me lol) and Dukes of Hazzard style jump in through the window and "try" to stop it. no E brake and weak brakes. he managed to get it stopped before it made it to the main road. it "ran" so for several months i drove it with no exhaust, well, about 5 inches of pipe past the manifold and a broken motor mount. one night me and my buddy were going to a venue where another couple of our friends were playing a concert and he was driving behind me and called me on the phone to tell me that i had flames shooting out (like "the cool kids nowadays"), but i was terrified because i forgot to mention that we found a hole in my gas tank that if i filled it too full gas would pour out or if i turned to the right hard enough would slosh out. there's alot more to the story but, the rest involes alot of stress and anger leading up to, i bought the car in 2009 and i got into a heated argument with the guy that owns my house telling me in 2018 that he didnt like my "junk" and if i didnt get rid of it he would have it towed to a junkyard. i had been in the process of rebuilding it around 2012 and some family issues popped up and i was unable to finish it, but around 2018 i was starting to work on it again and he didnt like it. there's more still, but i dont want to make myself mad again because its still going on TODAY. same car same guy.
Did she ask them to leave their truck in neutral 🤔...
@@IDK_Mr.M the trans and E-Brake are only locking the rear tires. As soon as the car puts enough weight on the trailer. The trailer in return lifts the rear tires off the ground. and if the truck is on a hill or incline. like they had it. it didn't take much to make it roll down the hill on the front tires.
Bro should hang around the junkyard with flat land and watch the guys try all thier methods of getting it on a trailer without a winch wheels on the car or a forkluft 100x more entertaining watching them struggke for 2 hours before saying fuck it and giving up or still strugvle
@@ryuko6727 I've done it in about a half hour. Two trucks works pretty good, and some 5' in length round logs. About 5 of them. Use other truck as the winch.
Man just started watching your videos. So awesome that you're always smiling. Is contagious.
The sketchy looking dudes actually turned out to be pretty cool!
You've done the right thing, she looked so sad! Make her all good again!
Only cool bc the cop was there lol
You’d be cool if you had to be aswell trust me. Those guys most definitely are crook as fuck.
@@kovoempire4093 Was just about to comment that. Most people who deal in illegal activities turn out to be really cool people when the cops are around. I doubt the girl would've walked out of there unharmed if she didn't show up with the police.
@@Unknown_Ooh lmao the guy was about to get a car legally in his name for $400, he was probably like damn I won the meth head lotto
@@Unknown_Ooh but sure, go ahead and be her knight in shining armor 😂😂😂😂
As a car/truck guy I legit was tearing up when you cut to the slow cut scenes and sad music. Then you bought it back. This is the best car channel on RUclips. This woman should be protected at all costs.
She ain’t gonna let you hit
@@bobhey4969 lol I got something nicer at home. I ain't interested.
@@peterm3159 got em hahahah
Glad it worked out best case scenario for you Emelia! I’ve had a car stolen as well and it’s nerve wracking. I got it back a month later and it was like so emotional, even though it was maybe worth like $2k. Keep up the good work E! Jaydog
Yeah, it totally worked out for her... cicks, views and $$$$$. $500 for the release to film.
Her car was not stolen tho kinda click bait but glad she got the turd back never the less.
the car wasnt stolen and she sold him the car with a screwed up title sooo yea.
It wasn't stolen, though. It was clickbait. It was an interesting adventure, but not a stolen car recovery as advertised.
@@supercarakita1698 yea cause he couldnt due the messed up title that was with the car. Yes he should have contacted her to fix it but. That shouldn't of happened to begin with if ur being honest about the car.
Oh wow, what a story. It is heart breaking seeing your hard work just being tossed out.
I actually teared up during the slow-mo montage around Poopturd in such poor condition. I 100% support your decision to buy it back - I would have done the same thing. I don't know why, but I develop crazy emotional attachments to my cars and wouldn't be able to leave that crying-headlight car all alone. Fantastic video! (... oh, and I just came here from the Hagerty video; I've never been to your channel before but I'm now a subscriber. Love it!)
Buy it back . I wouldnt have given him a dime ..... the cop wouldnt get involved ..ITS IN HER NAME!!!EVERYONE THAT COMMENTED ARE STUPID....... IS EVERYBODY IN THIS 2000 GENERATION BRAIN DEAD! ITS HER CAR ....ITS IN HER NAME ... TO HELL WITH PAYING ANYTHING. THAT IDIOT KNEW THOSE TICKETS WERE HIS . HE LOOKED LIKE A BRAIN DEAD INBRED IDIOT. COME ON PEOPLE ....GIVE HER SOME GOOD ADVICE OR DONT GIVE HER ANY! If you are going to cry , cry because you are brain dead and cant help her at all!
What a great episode and way to make the most out of a stressful situation. Good luck with the build, I’m sure you won’t regret it once it’s done and better than ever.
Now that was freakin funny! So great to see that you too end up in these odd situations just like a lot of us. One reason I’m a big fan..It’s genuine!
There are cars I've owned that I miss, but honestly, if one came back to me in this condition, I'd say it's time for a proper burial. I'm first seeing this ten months later, so I'll be sure to check for update videos.
I was very concern for your safety when I saw the guys that your dealing with. It just shows that you can never judge a book by its cover. I hope poopturd can be resurrected. Please show footage of poopturds progress. Thank you!! your always rock You Tube.😉
You think you’re meeting mr rogers showing up to someone who willingly has been driving illegally for years and avoiding tickets
Never saw that car but man it was a sad sight, my heart sank because I know how you can love a car and put time, sweat and tears into it.
This is the best video I've seen in loooong time!
Great you've figured out what to do with it.. I felt your pain, when you saw the car like that.
But nice guys, helping u out.
This is even funnier for someone like me, who has never seen your channel before or any of your videos. At first, you say you know a "little" about cars... I'm thinking, "Well, maybe she does. I taught my two daughters how to change the oil and change flat tires." Then, it's revealed that you rebuilt the engine??? LOL! You got me. I guess now I'll have to go back and watch some more of your videos. There's nothing cooler than a girl who can rebuild an engine. Most excellent video! Thank you for sharing!
Just one of 1000 reasons to get the hell out of California!
I am SO glad this channel popped into my feed. Absolutely outrageous situation. *Subbed!*
I’m glad you’re buying it back. I can’t believe someone would mess up a good car like that. Hope everything goes smoothly with rebuilding it
Straight to the point! Love it!
Just glad you’re safe!!!!
OMG what a video! Unbelievably sketchy situation but you held your own. Good job! I know how you feel about your cars... I am glad you saved her!
What was sketchy about it?
Man I really hope my old bug is still living somewhere. So sad to see something you cared about that much left like that. Good luck with the rebuild! Funny how it all comes full circle like this
Why? You sold it. Relax
@@wileecoyote5749 you’ve never put anything into something you care about have you
Aww you saved her!! I was thinking this thing was gonna end up at the junkyard but you saved her 😊
I enjoy watching your videos 📹..I appreciate your Corvette/C8 segments...The fact that you are absolutely gorgeous...each experience is PRICELESS
I often wonder what happened to the cars I previously owned. Not sure I actually want to know after seeing what happened to poopturd, but looks like a fun project is ahead! 🏎💨
You take plates off when ya sell the car.
RIP Bronco
@@EmeliaHartford whhhaaaattt noooooooo
I don’t want to know
@@d1specdrifter My dad told me that my first car (78 Malibu Wagon) looked like somebody dropped a tree on it the last time he saw it around 1994.
Florida titles have a section on them where you fill out the buyer's information (including driver's license number) and mail it to the state which records the new buyer. The seller is required to do this. Stops all the shenanigans that we saw here.
Same in France 👌
Arizona requires a notarized signature on the title or it's invalid.
what the heckkkk i used to watch your channel a lot because i bought a sti when i was 17 in 2018 and thought the concept of poopturd and what u were doing was amazing i can’t believe you blew up that subie so many times anyways i stumbled upon this vid and i just sold my subie a couple weeks ago awe thats so nostalgic one day i’ll own a hawkeye sti again haha can’t wait to see what ya do and all ur other projects i hope to get a pontiac g8 or a cadillac ctsv1 soon idk im working hard for it but it’s just a little out of reach right now haha
Doesn't always happen but glad it did so Big Ups to the Sheriff's for seeing this through.
Can't wait for the progress video's on this beast, from all the fancy cars i see on your channel, this is the only car i'm interested in seeing updates on.
This whole video was hilarious and made my day, especially when it cut to Galifianakis laughing!! Yay for rescuing Poopturd!! 🤣 😂 🤣
Awesome video! I think you should have added the theme song to “Cops”😂. “Bad boys,bad boys, what’s you gonna do when they come for you!”
Every custom car i build and sell, i always make a verbal deal that if the buyer ever decides to sell it, i get first crack at it. Same deal if i buy a custom car from someone.
Just gotta have respect fore each other and our respective builds.
My way of helping bring the community vibe back to the industry.
I am so happy you’re fixing it, I would be absolutely devastated to see one of my cars like that, no matter the cost build it back and better than before!
I can't wait to see this back up and running! What a cool story, (at least the part where you get the car back).
Many years ago, I was in a similar situation. Bought a non-running low mileage ‘85 300zx turbo for $250. I had several cars, so this one went to a storage lot. Interested party left several notes on the car, I called the number back and the prospective buyer desperately offered me $2500 for it. I advised him of the necessary repairs involved and that it’s not running. He didn’t care about the repairs involved and continued to offer me $2500.
But there was a catch… he couldn’t pay all at once.. wanted to make monthly payments over 6 months. He also had 2 other cars in storage at the same lot, so as a dumb kid I foolishly let down my guard and agreed to the monthly payments meeting at the storage facility where he payed me in cash. In the meantime he was desperate and constantly requesting either keys, a title, registration, anything… but I refused to provide him any of those until the car was paid in full. We had a plain simple paper contract outlining the payment arrangement and that if he broke said arrangement, I would keep at least 1/2 the sale price as a non refundable deposit for my efforts.
So after the guy paid half ($1250), lo and behold - he is unable to make any further payments moving forward. Contract broken. I had already begun making arrangements to have the car moved elsewhere after that happened. But I did get a phone call from what I knew was the owner of one of the shadiest repair shops in town the same day.
They informed me that there is a shady as hell guy with him trying to sell them a 300zx with no title. And am I the owner with the title and registration? Yes I am. He wanted to buy the car, but naturally he wanted the keys and the title/registration (not to mention a explanation) - so I agreed to head over immediately.
When I arrived, it was clear the weasel who bought my car was trying to broker a deal with the repair shop owner for substantially more than the remaining balance he owed me. He made the huge mistake of needing to use the washroom - to which the owner and I had a brief conversation where I quickly discovered the weasel was trying to sell him my car for $3500.
The story the weasel gave the shop owner was he owed me $1250 on the car and to just give me $1250 only and to give the rest to him. Shop owner being no fool, wanted keys and proof of ownership before putting that kind of money in his hands. We struck a deal for $2k on the spot - he paid me in cash and I provided him the keys and all necessary documents and signed a bill of sale… we disclosed the truth to each other and made a deal all in a span of 5 minutes! After making payment the shop owner promptly told me to get lost and that I don’t want to be present when the weasel left the washroom!
Just as I left the front entrance, the weasel had just exited the washroom! To this day I cringe at what may have taken place afterwards. What came to light later was that the weasel was an employee of the storage yard, and he was trying to cheat other people in a similar way. The two cars in the yard that were “his” were cars he had partially paid for and had convinced others to hand over keys and or title. He had sold them to other parties not knowing he had a prior balances outstanding with the previous owners! He was promptly fired, and I was told he is currently serving jail time.
I walked away with a total of $3250, the shop owner spent $2k on a low mileage Nissan and had all paperwork and the address where his tow truck was already on route to collect, and the weasel wound up with a $1250 loss - and eventually arrested.
So glade you took this back
Wow, what a crazy situation Emelia. You were a fish out of the water at that place. Those guys were sooo sketch, I can’t believe you stayed and dealt with them. Thank God you had the sheriff and some help. Super cray cray !
RUclips mfs weird
Guys like that look scary, but honestly you don’t have anything to worry about. Treat them with respect and you’ll usually get the same back.
Just don’t put them in a position where they can’t help themselves. Keep your wallet and phone on you at all times and your car locked 😊
Watching them attempt to load that Subie reminded me of the scene on RV. "You're first mistake was listening to anything Howie and Jojo said. They're nice boys, but they're a couple a tools shy of a shed". I also hope you didn't let them drop it off where you live or store anything of value these are the guys that will remember where all your stuff is and eventually come back and steal all your stuff.
Damn that's a bit of judgy by only seeing them for a few minutes on a U Tube channel 😳
Nah she gave them the address of her friends shop where it’s being stored for the meantime
@@Urkardaddy this is a general rule of thumb lol i think this way towards all strangers
@@Urkardaddy not judgy, just cautious and unfortunately, experienced.
I can say with very good confidence this comment isn't wrong
My Scion XB is 17 years old and I love her. I can't afford a new car, but I couldn't let her go even if I could. We've been through a lot together and she's got me places & kept me safe. She was even home for 2.5 months a decade ago.
So glad you bought it back. I feel like the car was crying itself like please for the love of God don't leave me here. Man that hurt to see it in that condition
My heart broke seeing that car like that. I watched every video of you and that car… I am glad it’s back in great hands…
I subscribed to this channel January 2017 when the first video dropped #subscriber#1. Seeing this car like that was terrible. You did the right thing saving it. Just solidifies why I watch this channel. Nice job E$
You are a car guys dream. Love your content ❤❤
You are absolutely nuts. 🙃 The truck rolling down the hill had me LOL.
I was on the brink of tears seeing poopturd in that condition for you. As I've been a sub since those days. Amazed you baught the car back! This was a crazy move and a expensive lunch...lol
"Is that the guy that killed his mother?" Bet you've never heard that in one of your vids before. Since you've still gotta pay the fines, I'd a been tempted to offer less, or just the tow fee, but I get it. Not an ideal situation.
Yeah she truthfully could have brought her own truck and trailor and said look I'm taking the car ✌ and then left without paying anything...Dude was like wait a min did I just sale a car too the lady who already owns it ?? Crazy world..lol
@@Urkardaddy You want those guys happy with a little cash in their pocket, not pissed and looking for you. $500 is a great deal for that peace of mind. LOL
@@venom5809 exactly, I would have picked it up myself to avoid letting them know where it was going...
You should rebuild it into a Baja car. I had the same thing happen to me in Maryland. I sold a 2000 Mustang GT to someone and took the tags off of it. Since the tags were only 2 months from expiration I figured no big deal. I signed the title and handed it over. Two years later I got a notice in the mail that all of my registrations were suspended because I had an outstanding fine with the MVA (DMV). I called the MVA and was told that I had $19,950.00 in fines for an insurance lapse on a 2000 Mustang GT. I contacted the buyer and found that he put it in his garage and never submitted the bill of sale or the title to retitle it. After much negotiation with the buyer and the MVA, I ended up paying two months of violation for no insurance ($700) and since I still owned the car legally, I had a rollback go and take it from his garage and I still have it.
Have these guys not heard of wheel chocks...? Wow...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...
Emelia, Girl, you made the right decision. Now get them to DMV and get the title transferred! This was one great video. I got the blue tint figured out. Keep going you have improved so much. and you deserve the world based upon your work and dedication to the channel. May you embrace success and keep the videos rolling. Do not worry about time in between; professionalism is what your audience receives. I will wait for them to get published online. You are doing lightyears better with your videos. and also depending on the cost fix it up and sell it to @Jonathan Hernandez. He will give poopturd a new life with love!
It is already in her name all she has to do is pay the parking tickets now
You're such a legend, love these videos & look forward to seeing the rebuild!
People would always treat what they have as they are 😢
Emilia is a whole vibe 😍
My god lord! That was hilarious and tragic! So glad you made it out alive!
1:40
I was floored when you said Sacramento.
I own several collector cars and had to deal with the DMV countless times.
They are clueless for the most part.
Their software is 20 years old, and they keep throwing, from what I can tell overlays and fixes on it that don't really work.
You have to be strong minded and stubborn, or they'll roll all over you.
Remember this is ALL done with your consent and cooperation !
Then I saw the rest of the video:
Tweekers, never, ever deal with a tweeker.
Since you were still the registered owner you should have just had that deputy tow and impound it and you could have got it out of impound right then and there....
The guy you handed the money to was ever so excited. Free money for a car he never owned.
BTW they would have delivered for the $ 500, just because they had nothing else going on.
Shhhhhut up
Omg! Found your channel randomly and not follow you because of this video! Excited to see where you’ll take it!
I sold my C5 Corvette that I DD'd for 6 years and dumped tons of time & money into, then about 9 years later someone contacted me who bought it (from the guy I sold it to), and found my contact info on some of the paperwork. I was crushed to see the beautiful torch red paint had been badly rattle can sprayed black, the headlights were replaced with crappy non-pop-ups that looked terrible. There was some cheap, ill fitting wide body kit on it, the Z06 wheels were replaced with some heavy crappy knock offs, and it looked like it had been planted in a ditch since the front clip was busted to hell.
I was pretty sad to see it like that, but I was also excited because the new owner was a legit "car guy" with a proper shop and 2-post lift, and he was asking lots of detailed questions about the powertrain modifications I'd installed previously. He's going to fix it up, it'll be his track car, so I was glad to see it getting fixed up, and put to work!
Twenty-two years later we finally get a sequel to Dude Where's My Car?
😂😂😂
@@EmeliaHartford Love you Emelia haha 😂
Best project in a long time! Some car RUclipsrs are actually returning to their roots and the content that made them big. I can relate to this way more than a new Z06 because it makes me feel like I too can to this type of rebuild. Love your channel and your dedication to helping spread awareness to mental illness (something I suffer from). Be well.
Reminds me of when I sold a '68 Mustang (fully restored) in around 2005 to a young fellow (he was probably 23) for $5500 cash. He was so happy, he drove away so fast I wasn't able to get my plates off before he was gone. Two weeks later, he drunkenly drove it thru a stand of trees in the median of a busy city street and fled the scene on foot at 2 am. He left the title in the glovebox and the plates were still mine. The cops called "me" to see if I was the driver. Yikes! Luckily, they confirmed from the title that I'd sold the car to the guy (2) weeks prior to the accident. The "last" tree he hit pushed the grill all the way into the engine compartment. It was really sad to see. While I was at the scene, the cops let me take my plates and I was able to make a photocopy of the title as "proof" the car belonged to someone else.
You were/are receiving tickets and the car is still registered (protect yourself) with you. The whole convoluted story ( always a guy in prison) was amazing. Take possession and part it out or get used parts and put it back together. Make YT videos, from the looks of it, might get 50 vids.
Poor Poop Turd!
You handled that like a CHAMP!!!
Just have to love living in California, DMV there is notorious for having their heads in the obvious place. What a nightmare! Kind of confused why you paid $500 for a car that had your name on the title. Starting to think that your certifiably nuts.
@William Conlon;
A. You are correct with the idea this Subaru is still legally hers
-1.->why pay for it any amount even a small amount ?!
-2. ->clearly that man was not the buyer, nor had gotten the vehicle through legal means ->rather basically snatched it form some location, as the other vehicles on the property
-3. ->appeared as abandoned in their location
-4.->clearly he has the trailer, truck to accomplish these tasks.
-5. ->offering to sell it for a relatively low amount, is a clear indication of, with, about this man as dishonest, and actually a thief.
-6. ->thus, the other basis, reason, logic not to pay this man any amount for the vehicle
-7. ->especially with the Police officer present, this man has no basis to stop Emelia form taking the vehicle which legally belong to her
@Emelia Hartford;
B. ->Emelia could have brought her own truck and trailer to transport the vehicle or had Shawn, Sandy to bring it after viewing the vehicle, deciding to take it.
C. Emelia clearly figured $500 is a small cost, including the towing to pay for this vehicle which can be restored and sold properly for more than the costs including this small 'fee'
D. but Emelia and Shawn should have been aware of the situation, perhaps also better prepared, to not support this clearly obvious criminal, thief, at least.
E. ->It seems to me, if Emeila has contacted Sandy, he might have given Emelia better advice and the means to take, collect the vehicle using their equipment.
All The Best
Sincerely
Yeah I wouldn't have given him shit
DMV CA is painful to deal with. I when I sold my first bike I started getting notices 6 months later for not renewing. I even got a notice saying I needed to renew the bike or I wouldn't be able to renew my truck. I had filled out the release of liability online when I sold it but apparently that never got processed so I had to go in to the DMV with the physical liability release to get it sorted out.
Right before it got to the part about you buying the car back, I was thinking to myself, “ If that was my old car, I couldn’t leave it there.” Glad you rescued it! Memories and content for a while restoring it too!
OMG!! I’m in tears watching them load it and that truck rolling! Classic!
Right, like these guys deal with that hill all the time. If they know their truck has problems, why not put blocks under the tires? Good god, guys, it's not Rocket Science...
A tire chalk would've worked wonders.
Similar issue happened to me with one of my old 350z’s. Car was sold during the pandemic, all signed documents were shipped to the DMV in Sacramento as non of the offices were physically open. Almost a couple years later, I’m receiving multiple toll violation charges in the mail from FLORIDA. Dude is driving around my old Z on expired tags, running up a bill, facing zero consequences. In the photos you can even tell they put on a widebody, a duckbill, and different wheels, but still driving around on expired CA tags?! All while The DMV seemed to have lost all the paperwork I’ve sent them during the pandemic. Gotta love how helpful the government is...
Seems to me that the DMV is not doing their job. With all the money they get from each and every vehicle registered... You would think someone recorded something on a computer!
But No !! 🤬 Nobody does their job anymore 😞
@@your_average_joe5781 Literally! I even paid the DMV to receive the history on the car and the last thing it listed was an “incomplete bill of sale” that dated a year over when I initially sold the car and sent them the paperwork. Zero organization. Gotta head to the DMV now to explain this to somebody. Let me guess, they’ll probably tell me the same thing they told Emilia in this video; either report the car as stolen or you must have both parties sign the paperwork😂 Hoping that isn’t the case, but the government is such a joke.
@@ChrisLS400 sorry you have to go through that.
Why can't they get their 🤬 together? What are they doing with all that money.
Clearly they knew your transfer was not completed correctly from the beginning.
I had a truck move just like that. Crazier by far, but nothing got hurt. Good vidz!
Yes welcome to California my buddy has been through this more than once he buys and sells cars word to the wise whenever selling a car in California you can also go to the DMV and sign a release form I'm more than highly recommend it
You got yourself a sub - this video was pretty amazing to watch.
As someone who used to repo cars for local "buy here, pay here" places, this was a pretty awesome video, despite the circumstances.
Repo guys are scum bags
@@kylesanders851 When working for big banks, sure. For the most part, I had the "authority" to at least try and negotiate a repayment "time", to make sure people weren't without transportation. And no matter what, "you" entered in to a contract with a bank or a "buy here pay here" place, you accepted your payment and interest rate. If you don't pay it for 3 or 4 months? What are they supposed to do? Your lights, gas, and water would be turned off by that time, and you would be evicted from a lease or rental situation. So, while I do agree a lot of people who "repo" can be sleezy. Why is that? Hmmm... I've had guns pulled on me for broken down POS's, that repoing it would have been a favor to them, honestly. And I have run across people who "promised to pay by Monday", but never did, every single time, no matter how many chances. I've even ran across people who thought their 10% down-payment or so, "paid for the car", so "why are you taking my ish bro"... uhm, because you haven't made a payment in 4 months and have been hiding the car.
While I did it for about 3 or 4 years, part time, and had that authority to negotiate for 1 or 2 "buy here, pay here" places, I "get" why you say that people who repo, are "scumbags". But who is really the "scumbag"? The one who didn't honor their contract, that they agreed too, of a physical product that was financed? Or the person picking it up for non payment? We will probably agree that depending on your credit, buy here, pay here will rip you a new one on the interest rate. But when I was the "repo man", that wasn't my problem.
@@LazyNateTV when did you give up on what you wanted to do and decide taking people shit was the move?
Sad to see the Subaru like that! Glad you bought her, sketchy looking guys actually seemed pretty cool - although wondering who killed who's wife and hope you got a receipt!
Never forget going out to my car, my pride and joy and best car I ever owned, taken of the drive. Stood there key I hand in disbelief.... Lost out on the insurance too..... 25 years ago and still sucks.
The sketchiness of this video is what I love to see 😂
Those guys looked sooooooooper shady but
1. Glad you’re safe and in the clear
2. Glad you’re saving her
3. Super happy where you’re are right now and your accomplishments since then
Question...Were Subaru air bags once a joint venture with La-Z-Boy!?! At 10:52 it looks like that front end collision deployed the passenger air couch cushion!!!
The amount of sketch is insane😂
“You a car girl”. Best line ever.
And the caption. A “little” bit.
So glad to see you got poopturd back. Remember you decking it out and shortly after that you sold it and my heart broke a little. Really felt for you guys being in BeerBellyHeadTat Land and seeing that car being thrashed even more whilst being loaded onto the trailer :') Awesome to see you smile like that afterwards. What a fucking rollercoaster-ride!
I love how when the system makes a mistake they make you fix it . I received a parking ticket off a license plate I hadn’t used in five (5) years . The officer transposed a number or two .I had to prove I didn’t own the vehicle listed , the registration, and show where I was on that date and time !
Was looking for how to fix my snowmobile and now i found a new youtuber im gunna follow lol
I’ve had the same situation happen to me before too! The girl who bought a car from me never registered it to her name and ended up getting the car towed when she got arrested. The tow yard was going to charge me $700 to get the car back but since I already did a release of liability, I didn’t want to go get it and have her get out of jail and try to sue me for the car.
Ended up coming across it years later listed for sale all beaten up and needing a new engine. I wanted to buy it and rebuild it for the nostalgia because it was my first “modded” car but it would have just been a financial mistake.. 💔
🏁🚾PoopTurd is in good hands am glad you went and got it back🏁🚾 PoopTurd is happy to be with her owner.🏁
I don't think I would have let those guys know where I had a garage, with other cars. I hope you have a good alarm system on the shop.
The truck running away absolutely had me crying
