So I would Like to ask this Question to Anyone of These Mechanics/Garages. If you let any of these Customers drive away and later seen the very same Vehicle on the News In a Multiple Car Accident and There were Injuries/Deaths, How would you feel Knowing you let that vehicle Go, That wasn't Road Worthy? How many didn't you see on the News???
@JustRolledIn, Merry Christmas🎄& Happy New Year to you and yours!😊That Impala, only 40,000 miles.... We have one older than that one, bought it new and has ~260,000 miles. We still have snow/ice and salted roads, not extremely bad and we do tend to try washing things off but it's underside looks about like a "California car." It makes me wonder WHY they haven't come up with something better when so many people's vehicles are being destroyed by that corrosive salt. Then they want to charge you fees "for inspections" only to tell you "Welp the frame is rusted out...from road salt, send it to the scrapyard...." And now what, buy another one just to have it rusted out.
brought a '98 Pontiac in for tires and alignment, tech calls me, says come look, shows me up under the general area was all ate up, said he didn't feel safe getting underneath that car, and did I want to put 3-4k into frame repair, because it's not even safe to drive. I didn't know! Probably was like that for a couple years! Only could see all the rust from it being on a lift. Great runner, comfy, everything worked, just 230k miles and well rotted. Very sad, but scrapped it then.
@Watts378, I have a 57 year old classic Coupe and it's floor pans etc., were not as bad as some of these vehicles.... Even the area where the battery tray sat and for years acid would eat through the frame, it's still not as bad as some of these vehicles, just unbelievable.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Nowadays I ALWAYS look both ways when the light turns green....never know when one of these cars cannot stop for the stop light. What happend to personal responsibility?
I used to teach auto shop in a local high school. This is a daily occurance. About 25% of the cars I would not let the students put on a hoist, or jack up. I was scared of getting sued for allowing them to repair these cars, and I was the only certified person in that shop, so I had to be the adult in the room. Didn't make the kids happy, but nobody died from them.
"The used car lot told him it wasn't like that when they sold it" So they either never checked or they lie and sell dangerous vehicles? Both scenarios are pretty terrible.
Depends on the lot. A lot of them sell cars as is, and make no guarantee it's roadworthy or fixable. You have to do your due diligence. If it was sold certified/inspected, that's a different story
Someone buys the whole truck at the yard. “You’ll never believe it honey! A running and driving truck at the scrap yard for $500! I can’t believe someone scrapped it!”
@@backwoodstherapy I actually picked up a 98 dodge 3500 dually 5.9 12 valve for $300 at the scrapyard, had 125k miles and a cracked frame behind the cab. This one was able to be fixed right and sold it for $9k, sometimes you can find good deals.
hopefully bro had his tetanus shots up to date. quick tangent here: for real, one does not look more masculine when not protecting their hands. so for the love of all that's sacred, use gloves if you're gonna mess with chassis parts, no matter if they're brand spanking new, even those have sharp edges that were not filed beforehand.
It doesn't take long for salt to rust the underside. Never power washing the underside after winter is one of the problems. I do put some of the blame on the manufacturers for using cheap steel and no undercoating. Man these cars scare the hell out of me, these idiots are on the road driving.
@@H3LLGHA5Tthe spray on coatings that companies use only offer limited value on an assembled vehicle. If you are restoring something and have the vehicle apart the brush on product applied to cleaned components does pretty well, but there’s still components that all the surfaces aren’t open enough to clean and coat. Every day drivers are doomed to rust anywhere salt is used on the roads.
No salt in Wis..or are you a diligent maintainer? Guy across st from former gf's had white p/u he scrubbed up Every Single Day Good ol' Toothbrush Boy..
The scariest words in the English language are, "The customer declined repairs and drove away." Yup, and they are out there driving around. I remember living in Montreal and am so grateful I now live where it snows every ten years or so and salt is never laid down.
In the UK any vehicle older than three years must have an MOT (Ministry of Transport) inspection This is compulsory and includes a thorough inspection of body -ie checking for rust, mechanical, ie checking things like brakes etcetera -it is really comprehensive check only carried out by approved M.O.T. Garages and has regular checks, and stops wrecks like you have over there in the US.
Some states require yearly inspection, some provinces in Canada do too, but then some don't require inspections at all, that's likely where most of these videos are coming from
I believe the Japanese are even more strict on their vehicles. However... I have seen cars passed by garages in the UK that fail when subjected to a more thorough test.
Yes big and shiny above, rusted below Its not economic plight, it's absolute madness and disregard for safety If its a rusted crappy civic or something you can tell that fairy tale about economic plight, but those people shown here would rather skimp on something "nobody sees" then rub their braincells together to understand what a 1 ton vehicle does to people when it stops being controllable 😂
@@TheGahtaone group of people drive vehicles like this because they simply don't have the money to get something in better shape to get to work and back. The other group of people "repair" vehicles like this spray foam and paint, and sell them to folks who either dont know any better. Gotta love capitalism.
New cars and trucks are unaffordable and they can barely maintain what they have now. Reminds me of a saying in Stalinist Russia, "If you want milk, take your pail to the radio." We hear a lot about how strong and rich we are but, the evidence only exists on the TV.
And old cars might be made using higher quality and thicker metal than todays crap. I am from Germany, and most, if not all those rolling coffins had been taken off street long before even get near the conditions shown! Our cars and bikes need to attend a technical check every two years by law. Those checks are very up close!
Doing something like that in Michigan would cause the city to riot and burn the state to the ground! And it’s not a race issue either, all races would join in the riot.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and moved to Alabama and was telling a friend about these miseries of winter, his response was we had all summer to get out, so he didn’t have any sympathy. After living in the south it’s hard to imagine going back to deal with that crap.
I was shocked beyond belief to find a 5 year old truck with the frame looking like Swiss cheese, and these companies like GM expecting the average joe to go and shell out $80-$100k on a new truck smh, goes to show you that sometimes having an older vehicle is much more worthwhile
I've lost a few customers because I refused to let them drive away. Only allowed vehicles to be towed away. I've had police called on me for this and police advised them tow or no go as well.
Yeah, I got rear-ended at a stoplight on a rainy day in Milwaukee once by one of these rolling disasters. My Buick Century didn't take hardly any damage (star break in bumper coating) but boy did that jalopy ever fold up like a cheap card table. Driver was terrified (no registration, no license, etc) so I agreed not to pursue it. Left her there to try to drive that hooptie away. This was before dash cams were common, sometime around 2005.
If ever there was compelling evidence of the need for annual safety inspection in all US states, this channel is it. While we outside the US can have a good laugh at the appalling state of these vehicles, knowing they can't hurt us, we can't understand how it's allowed to happen.
Couple of months ago I looked at a three-year-old Acura MDX and I crawled into the car and inspected the frame and the sales lady asked me what I'm doing crawling under the car.
@ On every used car I’ve ever bought I bring a large piece of cardboard with me so I can slide underneath and check for rust. I also use it to detect fluid leaks.
Many states don’t have safety inspections so there’s nothing you can do. We _should_ be able to report them to the insurance companies. Make the vehicle uninsurable. Once it’s marked uninsurable, can’t renew registration.
@backwoodstherapy They would still drive them. There are cars in MO that have expired temp tags from 2018. Had to buy the beemer but couldn't afford the taxes.
How about I don't have the money? Is the shop gonna foot the bill? Anyone who judges customers who "declined all repairs" is a numbskull. Seen a repair bill lately? (Don't start with the "just don't drive" bs).Don't take the unreliable narrator bait, use your brain Sherlock.
@@mattmcrae1458 Excuse me, just because you can't afford the repair bill doesn't mean it's fine to put other people in grave danger. I don't care if you crash your deathtrap into a tree, frankly. Just don't take others with you. Diving is a privilege, not a right!
I live where there is tons of salt on roads,I drive a 30 yr old vehicle ,and very little rust,I maintain my vehicle,with spray washes and undercoating when needed,all my brakes and all undercarriage is well maintained, only rust is my cab corners ,which am fixing this spring. when I look for a vehicle whatever the price,I bring a creeper, jack and huge flashlight,my truck has 175 k miles and engine looks brand new, better to be proactive than wait for it to fail.
Some 5-6 years ago, I bought a used pickup (near Austin, TX), a Chevy work truck, with 160,000 miles on it. Parking lot was paved. I got out my work gloves and crawled under the truck, looking at EVERYTHING, looking for leaks, rust, issues - nothing. Other than a bit of body rust from paint chipping, it's nice!
I save my old motor oil after I do an oil change and then I mix it 50/50 with WD-40 put it into a Agway pump sprayer and I spray the underside of my frame every fall before the winter season. It does seem to help quite a bit with delaying rust.
First, it is good to hear your voice, that familiarity from ….well, when your first child was born my friend. Now onto the hilarious part of the video that was missed in the narrative of the original poster. 1:22 the tire iron in the mix of repairs, and then immediately after the wrench and maybe even a couple of hex wrenches. Somebody had imagination LOL. I trust you had an awesome Christmas and here’s to an even better 2025!
Then karen down the road will screech in disgust at how "dirty" the roads are every winter and early spring. Nope, gotta use car dissolving salt because its the same color as the snow!
Yeah we got by without it for decades by plowing, gravel/sand and using winter tires here in Finland. But nah everyones gotta go fast year round and cheap out on road maintenance these days.
You are the first person to say something that makes sense. We don't need government telling us what are cars need . Maybe the elected officials look into the road salt we are using on our roads . Also let's investigate the type of steel we are using
I just want to take a moment to thank all the owners that brought their unsafe deathtraps to the scrap yard instead of rolling the dice every time they drive down the road and put us all in further danger. Thank you.
The log trailer @ 11:50 gives me "final destination" vibes. It blows my mind how cluelass some people are. 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you Just Rolled In for all the laughs. 👍🏻😁😂
This is why whenever you buy a new car no matter where you buy it. If you are physically able to get on your hands and knees don't worry about getting a little dirty and you look underneath that car or truck very thoroughly. Oh it's fine it's fine you don't have to do that you ignore them and check it yourself before you buy.
I live in the Salt Belt (Chicago Area). I have owned a vehicle that looked anything like this rusty paper-mache I've just seen here. Note that I didn't power wash or coat the undersides. Some of these people must have parked IN salt water all the time. Of course, newer vehicles are made so cheaply (like that 2021 truck) that they rust faster. Even my old vehicles on their last legs never had rims rust through. Freaking amazing!
And many states don't have the issues with rust shown here. Why do you think it would be a good idea to have another useless state department in AZ when cars there don't rust?
Best channel on yt! Always interesting and usually scary. I think you have some very brave mechanics to even attempt to raise these rust buckets up on the lifts. I've worked on cars since 1963 and most of these cars scare the hell out of me and I'd hate being under them.
I live in SoCal, and no real rust issues here, but have lived on the East coast and have had multiple cars get completely eaten away by rust. Cars that had clean interiors I cared for so well, washed and waxed and kept clean, and every mechanical component serviced at proper intervals. Cars just running like a top, until a few years go by of just oil changes, and then my mechanic tells me he just noticed the brake line was rusted and nearly about to fall off. And the rest of the underside was looking crusty. I’ve bought cars with small 2” rust holes near the wheel wells - behind the front or rear wheels, on the door sills - just one or two rust holes. But that was the rust that made it straight thru. Rust holes are like bullet holes in people - if you got one, good chance the damage is deeper than what you can see. And most cars rust from the inside out, so by the time you see it, it’s too late. These videos scare me for anyone living in certain states who buy a used car without taking it for a PPI.
That people actually buy vehicles in this condition never ceases to astonish me! Even if they don't know much about things mechanical, they could at least shine a torch on the underside of the vehicle...
I recently took my Defender 110 off the road to sort out its rust issues. I naively thought it would take two weeks but ended up taking four. Unbelievably it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the ones shown before I started. The UK M.O.T test can be a pain, on the other hand stops dangerous heaps from being driven around.
I took my 2006 Peugeot Expert off the road in summer 2022 after it failed its MoT due to rust in the sills - and I'm still working on it, probably not even halfway through yet. It had been through a couple of rounds of failing, being patched up, then failing on the patches rotting through, so the sill internals were absolutely rotten under the patches. I got carried away with the scope of the project and stripped the whole front end down to treat and repaint the inner wings etc. Then I found the rust in the floor, bulkhead, strut tops, outriggers, A pillars, jacking points, front subframe and rear valance that the MoT inspector didn't find. I'm just an amateur, so it's been a great learning experience with fabrication, welding and dealing with broken rusty bolts.
Now I know why dashcam videos are so popular and a never ending story. Wheels flying around in these clips. Mix these scrappy cars with people who can’t drive and you’ve got the best recipe for disaster!
2:05 When hubby and I were recovering from financial disaster in the mid 1990s, we managed to find a late 70s or early 80s cheap station wagon that ran and we could afford for $200. Its one issue was that the gas tank leaked if it was filled more than halfway. Funny thing was, that car would start at -30F when most other people's cars in our apartment complex would NOT. I even used it to help jump start hubby's semi during that cold snap (don't try this with a modern car!)
Newer cars won’t even get a chance to rot out as their engines or transmissions fail out of warranty or electronics fail and repair costs exceed the value of the car.
I find these videos amazing. I live in the South and my 26 year old F150 still looks like new underneath. You can still see the factory markings on the frame.
The early 70's AMCs rusted immediately all styles. My best friend bought one. She let it go at 5 yrs it looked so bad. I didn't see them in later years in used cars ads unless a grandma bought it and left it in the garage. I got a 72' Dodge Dart 4 door that we had to repair suspension a couple times but drove it 23 years and sold it for $500.
What fascinates me about this is the state of some of those ''just bought'' trucks and the complete lack of inspection when buying the car. It's a pickup truck, literally the easiest to check the underside
Yet another reason I’m freaking glad I do my own auto work in the driveway. If I saw anything even REMOTELY starting to look like that, something’s getting ripped out and replaced before it ever gets the chance to turn into the Martian surface.
Makes me glad that I live in central Texas, where rust is not an issue. Also, it looks like some people do not even look under a vehicle before they buy it. Let alone get an independent mechanic to check it.
That fuel tank at 2:11 reminds me of the one we had on our 2004 Frontier that also had a broken fuel pump/sensor. Yes, we also had the fuel smell. I think up until the the tank got changed we were leaking fuel on to the road.

Garages and has regular checks, and stops wrecks like you have over there in the US.
Same goes for germany, new cars after 3 tears, then ever 2 years you need to get the stamp on the plates.

I believe the Japanese are even more strict on their vehicles. However... I have seen cars passed by garages in the UK that fail when subjected to a more thorough test.
I like this idea but think it’s ridiculous that they take things like the traction control light being on and fail it.
It's never good to get the bill for repairs to pass the test, but when watching videos from this channel, we can see why it's necessary.
Ever since moving to the desert and owning a desert car, I cannot overstate my relief knowing that I don't deal with this garbage anymore lol
Kudos to ALL of those Mechanics that still go underneath those Rust Buckets, while on the Lift, because they literally could fall off at any moment

Anytime customer refuses safety repairs they should be reported to the authorities. We share the road with these deathtraps.
Many states don’t have safety inspections so there’s nothing you can do. We _should_ be able to report them to the insurance companies. Make the vehicle uninsurable. Once it’s marked uninsurable, can’t renew registration.
@@backwoodstherapy I am sure they would drive them anyway. I see tags out of date by 3 and 4 years here in Denver.
@backwoodstherapy They would still drive them. There are cars in MO that have expired temp tags from 2018. Had to buy the beemer but couldn't afford the taxes.
How about I don't have the money? Is the shop gonna foot the bill? Anyone who judges customers who "declined all repairs" is a numbskull. Seen a repair bill lately? (Don't start with the "just don't drive" bs).Don't take the unreliable narrator bait, use your brain Sherlock.
@@mattmcrae1458 Excuse me, just because you can't afford the repair bill doesn't mean it's fine to put other people in grave danger. I don't care if you crash your deathtrap into a tree, frankly. Just don't take others with you. Diving is a privilege, not a right!
I live where there is tons of salt on roads,I drive a 30 yr old vehicle ,and very little rust,I maintain my vehicle,with spray washes and undercoating when needed,all my brakes and all undercarriage is well maintained, only rust is my cab corners ,which am fixing this spring.
when I look for a vehicle whatever the price,I bring a creeper, jack and huge flashlight,my truck has 175 k miles and engine looks brand new, better to be proactive than wait for it to fail.
Sounds like you definitely could teach these death trap owners a couple of things
you must be the unicorn of usa truck owners......seems like most prefer driving death traps
Some 5-6 years ago, I bought a used pickup (near Austin, TX), a Chevy work truck, with 160,000 miles on it. Parking lot was paved. I got out my work gloves and crawled under the truck, looking at EVERYTHING, looking for leaks, rust, issues - nothing. Other than a bit of body rust from paint chipping, it's nice!
Fluid Film works wonders and is non toxic.
I save my old motor oil after I do an oil change and then I mix it 50/50 with WD-40 put it into a Agway pump sprayer and I spray the underside of my frame every fall before the winter season. It does seem to help quite a bit with delaying rust.
Happy New Year 😊
Not yet
That 2021 Sierra with the rusted out frame should be a law suit against GM! That's just criminal!
I just subscribed to your channel, I love these kind of videos with comedy for a good laugh. Thanks for the work put into to upload these videos.
First, it is good to hear your voice, that familiarity from ….well, when your first child was born my friend.
Now onto the hilarious part of the video that was missed in the narrative of the original poster.
1:22 the tire iron in the mix of repairs, and then immediately after the wrench and maybe even a couple of hex wrenches. Somebody had imagination LOL.
I trust you had an awesome Christmas and here’s to an even better 2025!
Which is why we have mot tests in the UK.
YOU'RE KILLING ME SMALLS... with the 2 different voices... PICK ONE ALREADY! 🤣
This is what road salt does. Maybe we should stop using it
Amen.
...or, perhaps, manufacture cars to be more durable?
No profits in that for the corporations and their investors though.
Then karen down the road will screech in disgust at how "dirty" the roads are every winter and early spring. Nope, gotta use car dissolving salt because its the same color as the snow!
Yeah we got by without it for decades by plowing, gravel/sand and using winter tires here in Finland. But nah everyones gotta go fast year round and cheap out on road maintenance these days.
You are the first person to say something that makes sense. We don't need government telling us what are cars need . Maybe the elected officials look into the road salt we are using on our roads . Also let's investigate the type of steel we are using
Customer: “Ok, fine. I’ll go get it rustproofed then.”
Uhh…
😂
Little late, but they'll probably take your money! 🤣 😂
Junk yard for all,my friends
Scary as all hell, like my previous marriage.
Cost around the same to get it over with and can end at the graveyard
6:55 yeah it's leaking at the banjo bolt. The crush washers are doubled up on one side! Doh! 😂
With all those unsafe cars on the road, maybe I should stay home... forever.
They salt the roads to keep you safe but destroy your transportation.
I admire that Colorado started using beet juice to de-ice, makes the streets look like a crime scene but a lot nicer to car frames 😂
ptsd for me as a german repair shop worker
TÜV does not approve 😂
I just want to take a moment to thank all the owners that brought their unsafe deathtraps to the scrap yard instead of rolling the dice every time they drive down the road and put us all in further danger.
Thank you.
Rust never sleeps.
Really need to wash underside 2-3 times in northern winters. Minimum.
The log trailer @ 11:50 gives me "final destination" vibes. It blows my mind how cluelass some people are. 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you Just Rolled In for all the laughs. 👍🏻😁😂
About the only time I am glad to live in Southern California. Happy New Years to all.
One of the best spots on RUclips, keep dropping new video's and I'll keep clicking.
This is why whenever you buy a new car no matter where you buy it. If you are physically able to get on your hands and knees don't worry about getting a little dirty and you look underneath that car or truck very thoroughly. Oh it's fine it's fine you don't have to do that you ignore them and check it yourself before you buy.
I live in the Salt Belt (Chicago Area). I have owned a vehicle that looked anything like this rusty paper-mache I've just seen here. Note that I didn't power wash or coat the undersides. Some of these people must have parked IN salt water all the time.
Of course, newer vehicles are made so cheaply (like that 2021 truck) that they rust faster. Even my old vehicles on their last legs never had rims rust through. Freaking amazing!
"Wasn't like that when we sold it".
And i suppose some freak event made that happen overnight now?
They ran over Reptile, from MK2, and he spat all his acid at the car before he died.
Science should prove that rust like that can't happen overnight and that should be enough to make the dealership liable.
@@mofoblitz7482 Are we sure the customer didn't regularly park the car over a vat of hydrochloric acid?
it really baffles me the USA does not have mandatory inspections every year in every state.
"Freedumb", you mustn't affect my "freedumb".
Even china has it. But America doesn’t 😮
It's regulated by each state, not federally. Some states don't require inspection.
And many states don't have the issues with rust shown here. Why do you think it would be a good idea to have another useless state department in AZ when cars there don't rust?
@@casualobserver2997 because rust isn't the only thing that can make a vehicle unsafe to drive, d'oh?
Looks like all of these need to be headed to the scrapyard!
Legend says 90% are still on the road.
Best channel on yt! Always interesting and usually scary. I think you have some very brave mechanics to even attempt to raise these rust buckets up on the lifts. I've worked on cars since 1963 and most of these cars scare the hell out of me and I'd hate being under them.
eyyyyy, regular voice guy is back!!!! welcome back, homie!!! hope ur having a good life with the little one!
This is a compilation video. Some of the clips are from months ago.
I live in SoCal, and no real rust issues here, but have lived on the East coast and have had multiple cars get completely eaten away by rust. Cars that had clean interiors I cared for so well, washed and waxed and kept clean, and every mechanical component serviced at proper intervals. Cars just running like a top, until a few years go by of just oil changes, and then my mechanic tells me he just noticed the brake line was rusted and nearly about to fall off. And the rest of the underside was looking crusty.
I’ve bought cars with small 2” rust holes near the wheel wells - behind the front or rear wheels, on the door sills - just one or two rust holes. But that was the rust that made it straight thru. Rust holes are like bullet holes in people - if you got one, good chance the damage is deeper than what you can see. And most cars rust from the inside out, so by the time you see it, it’s too late.
These videos scare me for anyone living in certain states who buy a used car without taking it for a PPI.
That people actually buy vehicles in this condition never ceases to astonish me!
Even if they don't know much about things mechanical, they could at least shine a torch on the underside of the vehicle...
man you need to understand one thing, they are the americans. common sense is nothing to do with them/they.
some people wouldn't even know what they were looking at or even if it wasn't supposed to look rusty.
I recently took my Defender 110 off the road to sort out its rust issues. I naively thought it would take two weeks but ended up taking four. Unbelievably it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the ones shown before I started. The UK M.O.T test can be a pain, on the other hand stops dangerous heaps from being driven around.
I took my 2006 Peugeot Expert off the road in summer 2022 after it failed its MoT due to rust in the sills - and I'm still working on it, probably not even halfway through yet. It had been through a couple of rounds of failing, being patched up, then failing on the patches rotting through, so the sill internals were absolutely rotten under the patches. I got carried away with the scope of the project and stripped the whole front end down to treat and repaint the inner wings etc. Then I found the rust in the floor, bulkhead, strut tops, outriggers, A pillars, jacking points, front subframe and rear valance that the MoT inspector didn't find. I'm just an amateur, so it's been a great learning experience with fabrication, welding and dealing with broken rusty bolts.
Wow that frame weld job ,they must have kept handing the tools and they got welded too.😊
Now I know why dashcam videos are so popular and a never ending story. Wheels flying around in these clips. Mix these scrappy cars with people who can’t drive and you’ve got the best recipe for disaster!
Looks like the used cars and trucks section of Craigslist. 😂
gotta love that natural weight reduction
These shxtheads put everyone's life at risk while on the road. They should be arrested
More government interference, thats what we need, way to go
Any car lot that sells vehicles like these should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Snitch for daddy government, I bet your against the 2nd amendment and free speech too
I think that log trailer was the safest thing in the whole of this video.
Don't break the crust!
Y'all should do a channel called "Just rust out" 🤣
2:05 When hubby and I were recovering from financial disaster in the mid 1990s, we managed to find a late 70s or early 80s cheap station wagon that ran and we could afford for $200.
Its one issue was that the gas tank leaked if it was filled more than halfway. Funny thing was, that car would start at -30F when most other people's cars in our apartment complex would NOT. I even used it to help jump start hubby's semi during that cold snap (don't try this with a modern car!)
"held together by hopes and dreams"
more like "Hell let lose"
It only just happened, it wasn't like that yesterday.
Nothing that a little JB Weld can’t fix 😂
I've never purchased a vehicle I didn't personally crawl under with a flashlight.
This is why every state in this country needs to have anuall safety inspection.
Love government interference?
Newer cars won’t even get a chance to rot out as their engines or transmissions fail out of warranty or electronics fail and repair costs exceed the value of the car.
Yep. Planned obsolescence. AKA Throwaway vehicles.
I find these videos amazing. I live in the South and my 26 year old F150 still looks like new underneath. You can still see the factory markings on the frame.
Many of these videos remind me of why I love being in Arizona. The Rust Free State! 😂
The early 70's AMCs rusted immediately all styles. My best friend bought one. She let it go at 5 yrs it looked so bad. I didn't see them in later years in used cars ads unless a grandma bought it and left it in the garage.
I got a 72' Dodge Dart 4 door that we had to repair suspension a couple times but drove it 23 years and sold it for $500.
6:25 just like my 96 ram , my cab mounts broke and there’s no floor left to weld to 🤣 currently have it all cut out, fixing and keeping her
Craziest part is not only putting them in the air, but people willingly standing under them.
Gotta love those Jagwires.
"The customer states that he is not looking to buy a new vehicle." I would tell that customer, "Then start saving up for a new casket."
The more of these videos I watch the more I am glad I live in the desert. No rust here.
What fascinates me about this is the state of some of those ''just bought'' trucks and the complete lack of inspection when buying the car. It's a pickup truck, literally the easiest to check the underside
Every time I see these rust videos, I get just that little bit happier to live in Florida. No salt on the roads
9:30 it wasn't like that? 😂😂😂
Bro. Frame doesn't rust away like that in couple of months
Rust never sleeps 😂
Scary part is these people’s vehicles are on the road endangering themselves and everyone else on the road.
Yet another reason I’m freaking glad I do my own auto work in the driveway. If I saw anything even REMOTELY starting to look like that, something’s getting ripped out and replaced before it ever gets the chance to turn into the Martian surface.
Makes me glad that I live in central Texas, where rust is not an issue. Also, it looks like some people do not even look under a vehicle before they buy it. Let alone get an independent mechanic to check it.
These are some brave mechanics to be willing to walk under some of these. I mean, what's to keep them from folding up and falling through the lift?
6:18 tape on the tie rods 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have seen more rust in these 12 minutes than James Cameron researching for Titanic.
Makes me glad I live in the Rocky Mountain west, where humidity is low and they don't use salt on the roads in the winter.
Alternative Title: "Tetanus on Wheels"
It doesn't need rust to cause tetanus, just dirt.
That fuel tank at 2:11 reminds me of the one we had on our 2004 Frontier that also had a broken fuel pump/sensor. Yes, we also had the fuel smell. I think up until the the tank got changed we were leaking fuel on to the road.
