You dont fix brakes with spray foam idiot! You get "a friend" or "another shop" to JBweld the brakes, then finish with booger welding the wheel back on.....
Actually, I wouldn't listen to it either. There's been a few instances where teenagers have told me something and they were just messing with me. The worst was the day I had to go to the hospital because my mother had an accident, I just got off a 16 hour work day, exhausted as all hell and it was hot as hell outside, kids rolled up next to me and said I left my keys in the door. I didn't think much about it and was fooled, and yeah, I did check. But that was just icing on the cake for that horrible day that I was having.
I will never understand people who hear/see/smell something wrong and do absolutely zero checking to see what’s wrong before driving straight to a mechanic.
@@HarryYese Eh, not really. Those people may just be completely oblivious to the overall severity, simply not have money, etc. However, "my trunk smells funny" and not even bothering to LOOK in your trunk kinda stuff is ridiculous. It takes less time to look than to take it to the mechanic.
I wonder if he had just changed the rear pads without changing the rotors or drums and was driving with the parking brake partially engaged. I mean, that would basically mate the pads to the drum or rotor in a short time and would explain why he said they were burning in the brakes. This is the only thing that makes any sort of sense to me based on what that driver said. edit: not the best idea if that is indeed what he was doing.
@@whyjnot420 A standard mechanical parking brake (hand brake etc) is separate from the main brake pads. Having the parking brake on wouldn’t do anything but wear out your parking brake. It is normal, or at least common, for people to “bed” their brakes after a routine brake pad change, but you don’t need to smoke them. Just a few reasonably firm stops to heat them up, snd do that a few times.
@@jimyeats That might be true for some vehicles, but is categorically not true for others. E.g. My 99 Dakota's parking brake was also part of the rear drums and was just a mechanical way to operate the normally hydraulic shoes. (it operated a little lever inside the drum) I'm pretty certain that the 91 Cougar I had a long time back was the same way, but I can't be certain about that one as it really was awhile ago now.
Correct. It's kind of funny at first, but it gets really old when you have some years on the job. Half the adult population has the problem solving skills of a toddler.
Took a car to the dealership and said cylinder 6 has no compression and coolant is leaking out from under the cylinder head (it was a little stream like a drinking fountain with little pressure) . They said my spark plug wasn't torqued properly. They didn't check the compression nor did they check the cooling system (it was empty). So in my opinion these mechanics are not that bright either they just pick on people to make themselves feel smart.
Years ago I worked at an auto assembly plant. We would put funny messages on the touch screen months or years later that would pop up on that date. If you ever owned a Pontiac Vibe, that could have been me.
That’s a common scam at those ‘buy now pay later’ lots. If they get an AWD car that has a damaged rear differential, they just cut it out and turn it into a FWD. cheaper that way.
Yep. Saw a Subaru Outback that way. The front transaxle lasted about 4 months after the girl bought it that way.. Before it couldn't take the strain anymore.
I once had a customer complain of a rattle from the trunk. I opened the trunk and there were multiple trash bags filled with empty soup cans. The customer somehow forgot about the 50+ empty soup cans, and also didn't think to actually open their trunk to look for the noise at any point. I was often tempted to recommend that customers go get checked out by a doctor for possible concussions.

I had a couple of issues with my old car, one of which was to replace the brake pads, which I could do myself, knew how and what I needed. Got the replacements, but trouble was, the retaining bolts were so seized I couldn't get them off, and knew I'd just strip them if I kept on trying. So I took the car in to the shop for the other issue, and just asked if they could also loosen the bolts for me. When I collected the car, they had done both jobs - replaced the pads and only charged me for the issue I'd brought it in for. Needless to say, they've had all my business since and I'll happily recommend them to one and all.
Why are owners of vehicles unable to look around to find the "smell" or "noise" ??? I sure hope the mechanics charge these idiots, even if it is a quick and easy fix.
It's usually the Wife after her Husband refused to buy her a new vehicle so they can save money. So she just brings the car to the shop for every little thing to "prove" they aren't saving money by keeping it. I've actually watched a few get mad when you tell them it was only a couple of minutes so there's no charge. Every large shop runs into one or two of these people a year
My friend works on his car entirely himself because of shitty mechanics around town, and had a clicking/ rattle for over a month going crazy trying to figure it out Turns out he was looking at the front wheels the whole time instead of the rear because thats where it sounded like it was from inside the vehicle
I suspect these people who report smells that are from leaking containers, for whatever reason just believed the containers couldn't leak. So it never occurred to them that the smell could be coming from the container. Back in the '80s there was a hilarious story about a woman who was stopped in the road blocking traffic. A policeman walked up to ask her what the problem was. She said she'd been shot in the back of her head, and was holding her brains in with her hand. The cop looked behind. She had bags of groceries in the back seat. It was a hot day, and a can of Pillsbury dough she'd bought had exploded due to the heat, striking the back of her head. The "brains" she was holding in was dough. She'd felt the impact on the back of her head, reached back, felt the gooey mess, decided the noise and impact was a gunshot, and concluded she was feeling her own brains. When your mind can't conceive of anything in the car causing the symptoms you're experiencing, it can get pretty creative at concocting a plausible explanation.
And that's exactly why I stopped telling other drivers they have no taillights, flats, locked brakes, a dangerous situation......they don't care, they're gonna drive it till they see god anyway, just hope they don't take us with them.
It's hard. Motorcyclists have a great view of vehicles having issues while they're in use, but no one listens to them because they think every rider is a 1%er with a crowbar
I didn't notice I had a taillight out until I took it for a repair and the mechanic drove it for me! Had a puncture that I wasn't sure about until a driver told me in traffic which I appreciated too.
I saw an older pickup crab walking because the rear axle was crooked. It was bad enough that the left front corner was on the line and the right rear corner was across the opposite line! The lady driving had no idea the axle was crooked yet didn't think to have it checked since she was having to steer right to keep it going straight. It had one broken U-bolt, and the other one was twisted and showing signs of cracking. She didn't seem too concerned and went about her way. Two days later, she was stranded in the middle of a big intersection during rush hour traffic. The other U-bolt snapped, and the entire axle was ripped out from under the truck! To make matters worse, two other vehicles were damaged by the axle and her truck. I informed the police about my previous encounter with her since she was playing dumb and couldn't understand what happened. Needless to say, she was a danger to everyone, and the consequences of her ignorance was going to be very high. I make every effort to ensure people know about how unsafe their vehicles are. I have no control over what they do with that information. The consequences are 100% on them.
Need to make a just rolled in bingo card. To include spaces such as... - Spray foam - Crappy welds - A buddy did the work - Customer declined repairs - Rattle from object in back seat - Gasoline smell: gas cans in trunk - Floor mats blocking pedal -
Do people have so much money that they do not even bother to try to find the funny smell or the rattles themselves??? I know I do, since I can't afford to throw money around.
Even if they had infinite money, it would be way less work to just take a look yourself than to take it to a shop! And with most of them it wouldn't even rise to the level of 'looking', just engaging the brain a bit.
@@JustRolledIn normal on every nissan. The rear caliper pins always seize when old. Don't even bother checking or relube when you get one, just replace the caliper. I own a lot of nissan/infinitis and it's happened on all of them LOL
Yeah that’s a car that i automatically revoke the inspection on and tell the owner it’s unsafe to drive and will need to be towed out of here unless they want to replace the subframe
A can of spray foam rattling in the trunk: "The car is literally falling apart, I fear for my life and that of my distant relatives." The car literally falling apart: "That's okay, I've got a can of spray foam in the trunk."
Chicken reminded me of my sister. She just moved her trailer house and couldn't find her cat, I guess it crawled under the house and went in-between the insulation and the floor and held on for dear life for a good 25 miles and on highway for a bit. 😂😂😂
My mother asked me 2 weeks ago "Why is my low tire pressure light on?" Gee....I wonder. Maybe because you have 1 or more tires with low pressure? Like the completely flat right rear tire?
1:00 I can tell you what they did....they hit a concrete divider, like the ones to see between lanes for turns, going more than 40 mph...... 1:42 The Shift lever probably had an imperfection in the metal during production that caused a non-visible crack. This can happen sometimes in production......it probably snapped because of the force versus leverage....
I think someone was bracing their foot against the shifter, but it looks like a clean snap, not how metal fatigues and usually fails over time by bending first, but a fault line in the metal that just gave up on sufficient force.
Seeing that tree trunk shifter reminded me of a Mercedes Benz driven by a fellow airman at an Air Force base in Germany circa 1962. It was a '50s sedan with a floor shifter and sunroof hatch in the top. The hatch was closed most days because of the rainy weather in the Eifel, but when the Sun shined he opened the hatch and bolted a long extension to the shift lever, extending it through the hatch and above the roof of the car. As he drove by, onlookers would see his arm reaching up through the roof to shift gears. It was a neat effect, and a celebration of dry weather at last.
I've jumped a medium when a state cruiser came up behind at over 100 mph. I figured it was safer. No way he'd go that way. I was afraid he'd try to go around without slowing and hit me as I tried to get out of his way. He kept right on going. I didn't know my truck could do that at highway speed. Poor truck. But everyone stayed safe. I'll never know what emergency prompted him to drive that fast. But I wasn't going to be in his way.
I gave one of my cars to my brother to drive to a friends house several years ago. He calls me up a few minutes later to say all the tires popped at the same time. I go to pick him up and as I am on the way I drive over some elevated train track and yelled out loud “Son of a Bitch!!!” As I knew instantly what he did!
@@TheGuruStud I used to own a decommissioned Florida Highway Patrol 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 back between 1993 to 1995. I jumped a set of tracks in it once, too. It was a blast. I went just fast enough to get some air without going crazy and everything worked out great. I agree, good times. Damn I miss that car.
A co-worker of mine is still awaiting a pair of subpoenas to appear in court to testify against another state safety inspector who passed a vehicle with a completely rusted out subframe.

I think that mechnic was equally appalled and admiring the fact that car drove to the shop without the drive shaft, transmissions and all the other chopped out bits
It was a 4WD, so as long as the connection to the front axle is good it will get you places, though only in 4WD mode since the 2H setting is typically a rear-wheel only setting.
@ZboeC5 It still has two drive axles, one front and one rear. So long as one is still physically connected and working, it will get you places, though not as well as intended.
@@Razmoudah In the Army if we were in the field and one drive shaft was damaged we would just swap out with the other one since both were the same part.
I remember pop getting mad in our impala and breaking the floor shift off. (That he had just installed). He threw it out the window and drove home in low gear.
@2:55 if the foam was in there from factory, it's likely a structural foam used to fill and reinforce the body. There are legitimate products made by Fusor and 3M for this purpose.
FWIW: something simular happened to me, it was a really bad road buckle. Damaged All 4 tires, which had to be replaced. The Road buckle wasn't obvious to me until I very close, & no way could I avoid hitting it.
I have the same experience as The guy on the motorcycle came up behind a truck billowing smoke at its back wheels I told the guy that he was basically on fire and he looked at me like I had just spoken to him in Latin before driving away.
I owned a '66 Ford F100 for a few years, with the 4.0 liter straight six and the manual "school bus" transmission. The shift lever was about 3 feet long, and you rowed it like a boat. It finally snapped after 35 years. I had a local shop weld it up, since the Ford dealership couldn't get the part. They said the weld wouldn't work, but it did; I sold it about two years later to a coworker who coveted "Happy Truck", and drives it to this day. This was the famous old Ford F100 parked in the employee lot at MCO, with six very good shades of latex and Rustoleum applied....
I love those old Ford F-Series and those crazy-tall shifters. My uncle had a black 1978 F-100 with one, my cousin a 1979 Bronco and back as late as the early 2000’s a neighbor of mine at the time rented a U-Haul to move and they still had an old 70’s Ford box truck with a 4-speed. I actually drove it for her during the move. That’s an era when trucks felt like trucks and that huge shifter was part of that experience. You’re right, they shifted great but slow. There was a distinct clink-clink whenever you were going into or out of a gear. I remember it vividly to this day. That transmission felt like it would last forever and I bet most did.
@@brian5o Exactly! I always let it "click" into gear, it was an old truck. My other car was an '85 Porsche 928S2 5 speed, a very rare car that had a great shifter that I could shift fast.
Given how many great “my car sounds like” clips there have been I’m very disappointed that we didn’t get “my car sounds like a rooster” only to discover an actual rooster
1:41 Well this week I myself broke a shift lever: I have a 2008 Abarth 500 with a Bonalune L5A short shifter (it's a good one, I just had bad luck), I was driving around my town and when going from 3rd to 2nd I suddenly had an extremelly loose lever and noticed I couldn't put the car into gear. As it turns out one of the internal levers broke, it's a piece that screws into the main body of the lever and I suspect it was overtightened from factory. Thankfully Bonalume is great and the very next day I had a warranty replacement being sent to me, I have also noticed that the screwed part is now a different color so they might have done a revision to the part to prevent further issues.
My grandfather had a 56 dodge truck with 3 on the tree... But the tree on the floor is new to me! And my weekly dose of spray foam, thanks my friend! Have a great weekend
@1:45 Had the same thing happen a long time ago in my 73 Mazda Rx4, but higher up, above the rubber boot. Just snapped/sheered as I was driving along changing gear. Ended up (not very successfully) gluing an after market gear knob to the broken shaft. Drove it like that for years although it often came off in my hand. It was my version of a 'short' shifter. Good memories 😆
I’m taking bets for how long until we get “Customer mixed up Sea-Foam and spray foam” in one of these videos, and get to see a fully seized small engine. 😂
Literally had this today. Inform CST that customer has a seized caliper on their 4x4 GMC Sierra. CST brings customer out to show them that you can’t freely spin the axle it’s on due to aforementioned seized caliper. Customer declines repair and drives it away. 🤷🏻♂️
That first guy was probably driving around in his tiny little car pretending to be a big rig driver. 😂 Probably was taking the turns real wide and everything.
I was actually thinking 70s Hot Wheels. They actually had a car back then that had a shifter and I’m wanting to say a big hand on top of it that came through the roof of the car.
As a guy who's been a mechanic all my life, I can confirm the many customers are just complete idiots. And, yes, customers lie thru their teeth if they think it will cost them less. If they only knew that it costs them *much more* if they don't tell the mechanic the whole story.
That reminds me of when I told someone at a stop light that they had a completely flat tire. Their response "Oh, I know" And they drove off, turning a $10 patch job into a $200 tire replacement. Far more if they also ruined their rim.
The spray foam for sound deadening in the Aston Martin reminded me of friends who had a Volvo. The wife was rather precious about the car, thinking it was something high end. They got rear ended in traffic one time and had to have a new rear bumper fitted. And that's when she found out there was a big block of styrofoam underneath. She thought that stuff was only used in foam beer coolers and was offended that it was in her car.
Which is crazy since it us used a lot for that purpose since low speed impacts can be absorbed and rebound with minimal/little damage because of the foam.
2:05 customer buys used car from dealer and drives it in here with no driveshafts, no rear differential, front axles cut off at the hubs etc I’m confused at exactly how customer managed to drive this vehicle🤔🤔 there’s nothing connecting the gearbox to any wheels🤔🤔

When your mind can't conceive of anything in the car causing the symptoms you're experiencing, it can get pretty creative at concocting a plausible explanation.
@@nathanstretch But yet you're absolutely convinced that all of the bigots are in the party you don't like. Odd how that works, eh?
And that's exactly why I stopped telling other drivers they have no taillights, flats, locked brakes, a dangerous situation......they don't care, they're gonna drive it till they see god anyway, just hope they don't take us with them.
@@heikechilds2816 In that case, he probably shouldn't be driving. It doesn't take all that much brain power to figure out.
It's hard. Motorcyclists have a great view of vehicles having issues while they're in use, but no one listens to them because they think every rider is a 1%er with a crowbar
I didn't notice I had a taillight out until I took it for a repair and the mechanic drove it for me! Had a puncture that I wasn't sure about until a driver told me in traffic which I appreciated too.
@@dudefuude7921
Yep even if you're a lady rider.
But if I am in a car talking to a biker they always listen.( Mostly warn for speed cameras)
I saw an older pickup crab walking because the rear axle was crooked. It was bad enough that the left front corner was on the line and the right rear corner was across the opposite line! The lady driving had no idea the axle was crooked yet didn't think to have it checked since she was having to steer right to keep it going straight. It had one broken U-bolt, and the other one was twisted and showing signs of cracking. She didn't seem too concerned and went about her way. Two days later, she was stranded in the middle of a big intersection during rush hour traffic. The other U-bolt snapped, and the entire axle was ripped out from under the truck! To make matters worse, two other vehicles were damaged by the axle and her truck. I informed the police about my previous encounter with her since she was playing dumb and couldn't understand what happened. Needless to say, she was a danger to everyone, and the consequences of her ignorance was going to be very high.
I make every effort to ensure people know about how unsafe their vehicles are. I have no control over what they do with that information. The consequences are 100% on them.

Some of those simple fixes should include a charge for refraining from asking, "Did you even think to look?"

1:56 It gets me that people would sell a car in that kind of shape. To me, greed stinks.
That kind of thing is a good reason to bring back public flogging.
They've probably been cheated in the past and just assumed the buyer would be just as greedy.
That dealer deserves to have their business license revoked. That probably wasn't the only time they knowingly sold a vehicle that messed up.
In most of europe doing so would be flat out illegal, not that you'd be able to squeak somthing this screwed up past the regular inspections anyway.
Idk, seems like it's worse that the buyer didn't even bother to check it out.

1:00 I can tell you what they did....they hit a concrete divider, like the ones to see between lanes for turns, going more than 40 mph......
1:42 The Shift lever probably had an imperfection in the metal during production that caused a non-visible crack. This can happen sometimes in production......it probably snapped because of the force versus leverage....
Yeah Im goin with defect, no way a dude accidentally or even peak fkin road rage just snapped his shifter clean off like that.
I think someone was bracing their foot against the shifter, but it looks like a clean snap, not how metal fatigues and usually fails over time by bending first, but a fault line in the metal that just gave up on sufficient force.
These vides are the fastest three minute videos on YT. Really good.
They feel like 30 second videos some times....
That last guy with the locked brakes had just left an auto shop after refusing service.
Seeing that tree trunk shifter reminded me of a Mercedes Benz driven by a fellow airman at an Air Force base in Germany circa 1962. It was a '50s sedan with a floor shifter and sunroof hatch in the top. The hatch was closed most days because of the rainy weather in the Eifel, but when the Sun shined he opened the hatch and bolted a long extension to the shift lever, extending it through the hatch and above the roof of the car. As he drove by, onlookers would see his arm reaching up through the roof to shift gears. It was a neat effect, and a celebration of dry weather at last.
Now I wonder if Ed "Big Daddy" Roth had been around and famous with his cartoons, around that time? Because that's what I'm reminded of... XD

Hey sir,your brakes locked up..that's ok,my stereo works fine tho.😂
No one, but No One, NO ONE WHATEVER will ever admit to jumping them train tracks, and if they said "YEEE-HA!" that is between them and God
Train tracks is what came to mind also or a median/curb
I've jumped a medium when a state cruiser came up behind at over 100 mph. I figured it was safer. No way he'd go that way. I was afraid he'd try to go around without slowing and hit me as I tried to get out of his way. He kept right on going. I didn't know my truck could do that at highway speed. Poor truck. But everyone stayed safe. I'll never know what emergency prompted him to drive that fast. But I wasn't going to be in his way.
I gave one of my cars to my brother to drive to a friends house several years ago. He calls me up a few minutes later to say all the tires popped at the same time. I go to pick him up and as I am on the way I drive over some elevated train track and yelled out loud “Son of a Bitch!!!” As I knew instantly what he did!
I used to jump train tracks in a bronco. Good times!
@@TheGuruStud I used to own a decommissioned Florida Highway Patrol 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 back between 1993 to 1995. I jumped a set of tracks in it once, too. It was a blast.

It still floors me that people buy used cars without getting an inspection first.

He's supposed to be testifying in both a civil and criminal trial.... The shop I work at offers free pre-purchase used vehicle inspections because of shit like that....

Jumping isn't the problem -that comes when you panic in mid-air, hit the brakes and land with all four wheels locked.

It was a 4WD, so as long as the connection to the front axle is good it will get you places, though only in 4WD mode since the 2H setting is typically a rear-wheel only setting.
@@Razmoudah It was an AWD car so no transfer case...
@ZboeC5 It still has two drive axles, one front and one rear. So long as one is still physically connected and working, it will get you places, though not as well as intended.

@2:55 if the foam was in there from factory, it's likely a structural foam used to fill and reinforce the body. There are legitimate products made by Fusor and 3M for this purpose.
I was wondering about that, admittedly never been under an A-M but was just thinking "dang overall that's pretty neat and tidy for spray foam"
Shut the f*** up.Structural phone is the dumbest f****** phrase.I've literally ever heard of my life
3M also makes the expanding foam for construction use.....lol
"All 4 tires randomly popped."

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
FWIW: something simular happened to me, it was a really bad road buckle. Damaged All 4 tires, which had to be replaced. The Road buckle wasn't obvious to me until I very close, & no way could I avoid hitting it.
Even expensive cars know the value of sprayfoam!!
I have the same experience as The guy on the motorcycle came up behind a truck billowing smoke at its back wheels I told the guy that he was basically on fire and he looked at me like I had just spoken to him in Latin before driving away.

no, i drive trunk.
you drive from the trunk?
no, how could i reach pedals from there...
"You drive a stick?"
"NO! AM MAN! MAN DO NOT DRIVE STICK. MAN DRIVE *BRANCH!* "

"Nah it's burning in" my dude brakes aren't supposed to "burn in"
maybe it was a Mattel "Hot Wheels" car.
You sure about that? (8^})
i will always like your vids as they make me feel so much better about my cars:)
I owned a '66 Ford F100 for a few years, with the 4.0 liter straight six and the manual "school bus" transmission. The shift lever was about 3 feet long, and you rowed it like a boat. It finally snapped after 35 years. I had a local shop weld it up, since the Ford dealership couldn't get the part. They said the weld wouldn't work, but it did; I sold it about two years later to a coworker who coveted "Happy Truck", and drives it to this day.
This was the famous old Ford F100 parked in the employee lot at MCO, with six very good shades of latex and Rustoleum applied....
Good god, I would love to have a truck like that, nothing like an old Ford straight six, those things would run forever.
I love those old Ford F-Series and those crazy-tall shifters.
My uncle had a black 1978 F-100 with one, my cousin a 1979 Bronco and back as late as the early 2000’s a neighbor of mine at the time rented a U-Haul to move and they still had an old 70’s Ford box truck with a 4-speed.
I actually drove it for her during the move. That’s an era when trucks felt like trucks and that huge shifter was part of that experience.
You’re right, they shifted great but slow. There was a distinct clink-clink whenever you were going into or out of a gear. I remember it vividly to this day. That transmission felt like it would last forever and I bet most did.
@@brian5o Exactly! I always let it "click" into gear, it was an old truck. My other car was an '85 Porsche 928S2 5 speed, a very rare car that had a great shifter that I could shift fast.
Given how many great “my car sounds like” clips there have been I’m very disappointed that we didn’t get “my car sounds like a rooster” only to discover an actual rooster
whats funny about the spray foam on the aston martin is there are many stock modern cars that have spray foam in certain places.

1:41 Well this week I myself broke a shift lever:
I have a 2008 Abarth 500 with a Bonalune L5A short shifter (it's a good one, I just had bad luck), I was driving around my town and when going from 3rd to 2nd I suddenly had an extremelly loose lever and noticed I couldn't put the car into gear.
As it turns out one of the internal levers broke, it's a piece that screws into the main body of the lever and I suspect it was overtightened from factory.
Thankfully Bonalume is great and the very next day I had a warranty replacement being sent to me, I have also noticed that the screwed part is now a different color so they might have done a revision to the part to prevent further issues.
My grandfather had a 56 dodge truck with 3 on the tree...
But the tree on the floor is new to me!
And my weekly dose of spray foam, thanks my friend! Have a great weekend
"Your brake is locked up".
"Oh, no, it's burning in".

Poor rooster, glad it was ok. 🤭
@1:45 Had the same thing happen a long time ago in my 73 Mazda Rx4, but higher up, above the rubber boot. Just snapped/sheered as I was driving along changing gear. Ended up (not very successfully) gluing an after market gear knob to the broken shaft. Drove it like that for years although it often came off in my hand. It was my version of a 'short' shifter. Good memories 😆
Spray Foam, it fixes any problem on any car.
It’s like expandable duct tape.
I’m taking bets for how long until we get “Customer mixed up Sea-Foam and spray foam” in one of these videos, and get to see a fully seized small engine. 😂
Literally had this today. Inform CST that customer has a seized caliper on their 4x4 GMC Sierra. CST brings customer out to show them that you can’t freely spin the axle it’s on due to aforementioned seized caliper. Customer declines repair and drives it away. 🤷🏻♂️
1:52 never underestimate a used car dealership to sell a turd with a fake smile and hand shake.

I was actually thinking 70s Hot Wheels.
They actually had a car back then that had a shifter and I’m wanting to say a big hand on top of it that came through the roof of the car.
It looks like that person hit those parking bumpers at a high rate of speed. I can see yellow paint where it scraped the frame.
Thats a true stick shift car
As a guy who's been a mechanic all my life, I can confirm the many customers are just complete idiots. And, yes, customers lie thru their teeth if they think it will cost them less. If they only knew that it costs them *much more* if they don't tell the mechanic the whole story.

That reminds me of when I told someone at a stop light that they had a completely flat tire. Their response "Oh, I know" And they drove off, turning a $10 patch job into a $200 tire replacement. Far more if they also ruined their rim.
1st costumer brought a whole new meaning to log in 🤣
one of a few channels I always leave a like.
The spray foam for sound deadening in the Aston Martin reminded me of friends who had a Volvo. The wife was rather precious about the car, thinking it was something high end. They got rear ended in traffic one time and had to have a new rear bumper fitted. And that's when she found out there was a big block of styrofoam underneath. She thought that stuff was only used in foam beer coolers and was offended that it was in her car.
Which is crazy since it us used a lot for that purpose since low speed impacts can be absorbed and rebound with minimal/little damage because of the foam.
We need to do one of people bringing there car in for smells/sounds caused by chemicals/items they left in their car
