I just threw up an old photo of the car that I rolled in 1983. There is a story behind it but suffice it to say I lived, with multiple serious injuries, and a lifelong limp. Don't drink and drive kids.
My jeep Cherokee has a twelve inch hole in the floor of the driver's side. I use it to toss out trash and beer cans as I'm driving. It looks like I'm running over the trash and not littering. I'll never cover that hole.
I learned not to work on my own vehicles after the last few times I cost myself twice as much to get fixed what I broke in addition to what was already broke.
I can understand not knowing how cars work and being intimidated by that, but the guy who had a rope tying the seat towards the rear of the car, but couldn't understand why the seat wouldn't move forward deserves a special prize.
It's pathetic. These people are "educated" too. I swear there is so many people out there who lack simple troubleshooting and problem solving skills...... We share the road with these morons.
I would never fix the mooing door, because the principal job of a minivan is to transport kids, and kids would find that infinitely amusing. I know because my inner 12 year old is geeking out after watching that for the 5th time.
Unfortunately that sound probably means there is excessive wear going on with the track, chain, or motor. That's gonna get more expensive to fix with time.
Here in the UK, everyone drives a manual. I have a customer who is stone deaf, drives a taxi. manual. I bang a new clutch in that thing every 6 months when he comes in for a service. its just routine now :) sometimes he needs a new clutch early but hes a lovely old guy so i do it cheap cheap. he should get an auto lol

Tip: If you change your oil yourself, don't replace the oil with tar and axle grease. It will quiet down the engine but make it extremely hard to start, especially if the air temp is below 250 degrees.
That last clip... That's why you take your stuff off of the passenger side *first*! I have a similar story from my shop, lol.

The owner of the Mazda MX5 must have issues with driving cars with manual transmissions. Funny how he had it for a few thousand KMs and needed a new clutch and then not long after that needing another new clutch. Says a lot about his driving prowess or lack thereof. I'd say it's been ridden to death. Some people have a very nasty habit of resting their foot on the clutch pedal while driving which causes needless clutch wear. MX5 driver perhaps also has a bad habit of not engaging or disengaging the clutch properly under certain loads which ultimately causes the clutch to burn out. I could almost see inside the bell housing of that gearbox in the clip. I could pretty much tell there may have been a lot of burnt clutch material within the bell housing and a lot of "clutch soot" as well. Definitely does not occur under normal wear and tear conditions. And not that quickly either. Under normal wear and tear conditions where the clutch has gradually worn out through normal use and through prudent driving, the clutch assembly would've had a good life and not been overworked or put under unnecessary stress, thus you wouldn't see all that burnt clutch material within the bell housing and you'll only see a small amount of clutch soot residue in the bell housing. There a difference between a clutch that's worn normally and a clutch that has worn abnormally from people's stupid driving discipline where their bad habits are as I forementioned earlier in this comment. Some clutches do fail prematurely due to poor design or manufacturing processes. That can happen. That I feel certainly didn't happen in this particular clip with that MX5. The abuse signs are all too obvious. The MX5 driver may not have meant for that to happen intentionally but it appears that he may not quite be up to the task with driving cars with manual transmissions. He perhaps may have only driven automatic cars and perhaps decided to try his luck with a manual. I say mission failed. Try again next time. Needs more training with manual transmission cars in order to be able to drive a manual car safely and effectively. And also be able to drive a manual car efficiently so that no problems with the clutch wearing like that one did will ever occur. Manual transmission cars have footrests as well. Use that instead of the clutch pedal for a footrest.
So I have a 1992 K1500 Chevrolet with a 350 V8 pushing an NV 4500 transmission. Seeing as how this was my first V8 manual vehicle I ever owned and bought it at just 21, I was by no means gentle on it. I just rolled over 300,000 miles and still on the same clutch I bought it with in 2001 at 89,000 miles so how in the hell can someone burn up a clutch in just 3,000 to 5,000 miles???? Granted for the past 5 or 6 years it's just been a farm truck and driven less than 6,000 miles a year but it STILL on the same clutch and I use it to tow trailers with.
Clutches are usually burned if people put constant slip on it, a foot left on the clutch pedal can be enough over time. Some use the clutch like a hydraulic torque converter, in this case it's burning even faster
I think they're all good clips, my jaw dropped when I seen the exploded transfer case on the jeep. The last clip should have read Customer showed up for an Alignment and left with Spinners. LOL! 🤣
Oh man , the last clip of the SUV rolling along with a shops Wheel Alignment equipment still attached to the right rear wheel! YIKES that is an expensive mistake by the shop! And the first one , that poor Jeep! YIKES
@@elultimo102 Jeeps (& some trucks/suvs) have the ability to be set in a transfer case neutral, not like a regular car where neutral is disconnecting the engine and transmission but the wheels are still spinning the transmission if being towed on the drive wheels, but jeeps 2 neutrals, where the engine and transmission are disconnected (1) & the drive wheels are disconnected from the transmission in the transfer case (2) so it can be towed, but in this clip they forgot to do so.
You know the manufacturers quality control is on point when they can install everything in the engine bay without noticing half of the bay isn't painted properly.
I'm pretty sure that painting is done by robots now, so there must have been some other issue, like the paint ran out unexpectedly and someone didn't catch it.
0:45 i bet the customer couldn´t open his trunk as well 🤣 1:20 Honestly, so many issues could have been avoided, if the owner just tried to read user manual... 1:48 What´s so complicated about using manual transmission?
I've seen Pennzoil oil go like that after just 5000km in Rover V8. Never used that particular oil in that engine again, no further problems, yet the same oil in other engines was perfectly fine.
When I was a kid in the early 70's working part time at a service station after school we stopped multiple cars from using oil and blowing blue smoke by changing their oil from Pennzoil to another brand...
Rover engines have their own taste in oil lol, they'll throw a fit if it's not the correct oil or they run slightly low, the rover t16 in my car will start getting pissy if it's not at the maximum oil level, starting with the lifters getting noisier
same here I used to work at a car dealership and a suv came in and they guy used pennzoil and this was 20 years ago and the mechanic had to actually vacuum all the sludge out it was that bad
You must have somehow missed when all the other makes are featured on this channel with brand new cars. It's ok, confirmation bias is just part of fragile human psychology.
Easy test for senior drivers: Can they drive stick, without grinding their gears? (I got my license in '66, and never owned a vehicle with under four gears----Now I have a 5-speed car and a pick up. (They are hard to find).
@@elultimo102 Manual cars are still completely common in European countries. Everyone I know did their driver's deucation and test in a manual car (otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to drive them). I don't understand how you can grind your gears on a modern car, unless you just completely do not understand what the clutch does.
That last clip happened to my old shop foreman. He forgot to remove all the alignment mirrors and got about a mile down the road before he saw the mirror explode down the road in the rear-view.
I watched another dealer's tech drive a vehicle passed our shop and the alignment rack sensor shot 20 feet in the air before landing in our parking lot. Sweetest parts return ever
your paint one i worked as a wash bay person late 80's has a brand new car come in for prep one side had full chrome trim door handle / mirror /wheel well / door trim /etc the other side did not have any chrome shop had to order and install chrome for other side
Happy New year. People driving their cars to the shop when they should be on a low loader, think they are saving money, however the damage they are doing costs a lot more in the end.
All the best for 2023 dude 🎊👍 Love the transmission explosions 💥 although the rear door moo-ing is pretty cool too 🤣 hope you had a great time over the holidays bud 👍
1:21 One could almost forgive the customer for this one. All reservoirs should be clearly market with a symbol AND text. However, the fact that the customer didn't say anything about the low coolant light probably means they're just clueless.
I wish I could see how those manual drivers treat clutches. I put a BRAND NEW clutch in a car a while ago, new owner got mad at me because it 'let go' 6 months after he bought the car and blamed me. Said it was because I put a cheap clutch in the car. I put the exact same clutch in an identical car for another customer, no issues. I also used the same brand clutch in my truck, used it harshly for years, towing trailers, pulling tree stumps, doing burnouts, blowing rear diffs, drifting, etc. Still a perfect clutch. I even own a car that I have never replaced the clutch in, since 2006. And guess what? Clutch is still good.
Some people are just really hard on clutches, because they are bad drivers. I was the 3rd owner of a 5-speed manual Lexus that was still going on the original clutch. I did finally have to replace it, and sold the car on to someone else without further repair on it. Car went almost 200k miles on the OEM clutch, because the owners were competent.
Had a 2018 volkswagen atlas. They have some crooked ass mechanics. That coolant leak is well known. Took it to the dealership 5 times over the years. Even put dye in it try find the leak. Then tried to blame us for putting the wrong color coolant in and couldn't find the leak. I took the day to find the leak, showed it to them and they refused to repair. Stayed we never brought it in and the vehicle records were not in the system. They got quiet when I produced the paper copies of their "work".
1:48 I have a older C1500 with a manual and always leave the keys in it. Co-workers always tell me "someone can steal it"! 9 out of 10 people can't even start it (clutch pedal depress interlock) let alone drive a stick. Not worried in the least.
I really love this channel, it is one of the few times when I'm watching the videos going WTF and scared because i realize that these people are "AMONG US" on the road!!!

Definitely does not occur under normal wear and tear conditions. And not that quickly either. Under normal wear and tear conditions where the clutch has gradually worn out through normal use and through prudent driving, the clutch assembly would've had a good life and not been overworked or put under unnecessary stress, thus you wouldn't see all that burnt clutch material within the bell housing and you'll only see a small amount of clutch soot residue in the bell housing. There a difference between a clutch that's worn normally and a clutch that has worn abnormally from people's stupid driving discipline where their bad habits are as I forementioned earlier in this comment. Some clutches do fail prematurely due to poor design or manufacturing processes. That can happen. That I feel certainly didn't happen in this particular clip with that MX5. The abuse signs are all too obvious. The MX5 driver may not have meant for that to happen intentionally but it appears that he may not quite be up to the task with driving cars with manual transmissions. He perhaps may have only driven automatic cars and perhaps decided to try his luck with a manual. I say mission failed. Try again next time. Needs more training with manual transmission cars in order to be able to drive a manual car safely and effectively. And also be able to drive a manual car efficiently so that no problems with the clutch wearing like that one did will ever occur. Manual transmission cars have footrests as well. Use that instead of the clutch pedal for a footrest.
Dude with the clutch problems, is about to inherit a lot of automatic transmission problems 😂
Whoever buys that Miata next. ** It's missing some synchros
Leaving the alignment sensors on was great lol
How doesn’t someone notice that? Would it not cause a horrible vibration?
@@stevenmarsden2257 not a noticeable vibration on wheels that size at that speed.
Don’t ask me how I know this!
Nowadays a manual transmission is an incredible theft deterrent
In the US*

So I have a 1992 K1500 Chevrolet with a 350 V8 pushing an NV 4500 transmission. Seeing as how this was my first V8 manual vehicle I ever owned and bought it at just 21, I was by no means gentle on it. I just rolled over 300,000 miles and still on the same clutch I bought it with in 2001 at 89,000 miles so how in the hell can someone burn up a clutch in just 3,000 to 5,000 miles???? Granted for the past 5 or 6 years it's just been a farm truck and driven less than 6,000 miles a year but it STILL on the same clutch and I use it to tow trailers with.
Clutches are usually burned if people put constant slip on it, a foot left on the clutch pedal can be enough over time.
Some use the clutch like a hydraulic torque converter, in this case it's burning even faster
I think they're all good clips, my jaw dropped when I seen the exploded transfer case on the jeep. The last clip should have read Customer showed up for an Alignment and left with Spinners. LOL! 🤣
That alignment pad sensor on the wheel at the end is fucking perfect lmaoooooooooo
Shop boss gonna be pissed tho....them targets ain't cheap to replace!
@@ajwilson605 no sir they are not lmao. Just hilarious watching it spin
Oh man , the last clip of the SUV rolling along with a shops Wheel Alignment equipment still attached to the right rear wheel! YIKES that is an expensive mistake by the shop! And the first one , that poor Jeep! YIKES
Hopefully the sensor didn't fall off and the first one must have been so damn loud 😂
And job loss lol... I would have fired him.. they are several grand to replace
That JEEP with a grenanded Tcase. Wow, severe damage.
Why do people flat-tow cars behind their RVs, instead of putting on a relatively cheap trailer, and saving the drive train?
@@elultimo102 Jeeps (& some trucks/suvs) have the ability to be set in a transfer case neutral, not like a regular car where neutral is disconnecting the engine and transmission but the wheels are still spinning the transmission if being towed on the drive wheels, but jeeps 2 neutrals, where the engine and transmission are disconnected (1) & the drive wheels are disconnected from the transmission in the transfer case (2) so it can be towed, but in this clip they forgot to do so.
@@thabg007 That still puts a ridiculous amount of wear on the tires, which on Jeeps are not cheap. It makes far more sense to use a trailer.
@Anne Haight yes true, if they can afford a RV & a jeep, then why not buy a flat trailer
Happy new year matey, your videos normally drop just before I go to bed so give me a nice laugh just before sleeping.
Happy new year and perfect timing 👍
You know the manufacturers quality control is on point when they can install everything in the engine bay without noticing half of the bay isn't painted properly.
If you destroy two clutches in less than 5,000 mi, you probably shouldn't be driving at all. 😩
I would have gone through 60 clutches by now if I drove like that.
I think I would keep the cow sound.
@1:39 Yeah. About $200 different.
@2:20 Cause even paintbooth robots get cases of "4: 59 on a Friday-itis".
2:16 looks like it was done on a friday evening
I wonder what else is wrong with that one lol
@@JustRolledIn What?? It's a two-tone paint job!
Yep lol
I'm pretty sure that painting is done by robots now, so there must have been some other issue, like the paint ran out unexpectedly and someone didn't catch it.
0:45 i bet the customer couldn´t open his trunk as well 🤣
1:20 Honestly, so many issues could have been avoided, if the owner just tried to read user manual...
1:48 What´s so complicated about using manual transmission?
I've seen Pennzoil oil go like that after just 5000km in Rover V8. Never used that particular oil in that engine again, no further problems, yet the same oil in other engines was perfectly fine.
When I was a kid in the early 70's working part time at a service station after school we stopped multiple cars from using oil and blowing blue smoke by changing their oil from Pennzoil to another brand...
Rover engines have their own taste in oil lol, they'll throw a fit if it's not the correct oil or they run slightly low, the rover t16 in my car will start getting pissy if it's not at the maximum oil level, starting with the lifters getting noisier
same here I used to work at a car dealership and a suv came in and they guy used pennzoil and this was 20 years ago and the mechanic had to actually vacuum all the sludge out it was that bad
Judging by the car being a Fiat Strada, it was likely in Italy or Brazil
A shop class dedicated to car maintainence would solve 3/4 of these issues.
Maybe. You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them learn.
@@mhfuzzball. That's a very true and valid point.
They all spent at least 10 years in school and look how that turned out...
@@mhfuzzball this comment potentially shuts down RUclips 😆😆👍👍
Credit to that alignment sensor in the last clip for hanging on so well.
Our familys drive on the same roads w/ these ppl!! I SCURD!😵💫🥴😵
I enjoy this channel. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that. Thank you!
Nice quality control on the paint GM. Matches the quality of the rest of the vehicle.
You must have somehow missed when all the other makes are featured on this channel with brand new cars. It's ok, confirmation bias is just part of fragile human psychology.
The customers with the front seat and the rear wiper.. I mean maybe they're legit blind but then they won't be driving...
There should be basic requirements before issuing a drivers license. The first requirement should be common sense.
and none of the drivers that have a rusted out frame or anything that says "Fix me" have any common sense to begin with.
Easy test for senior drivers: Can they drive stick, without grinding their gears? (I got my license in '66, and never owned a vehicle with under four gears----Now I have a 5-speed car and a pick up. (They are hard to find).
@@elultimo102 Manual cars are still completely common in European countries. Everyone I know did their driver's deucation and test in a manual car (otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to drive them).
I don't understand how you can grind your gears on a modern car, unless you just completely do not understand what the clutch does.
That last clip happened to my old shop foreman. He forgot to remove all the alignment mirrors and got about a mile down the road before he saw the mirror explode down the road in the rear-view.
Hey, Happy New Year to you, too. You are killing me with these vids. They make me feel brilliant.
Lol thanks, Zoltan! Happy new year.
Rope to hold the trunk down? Obviously it proves that the latch mechanism wasn't working. 🙄
I watch these videos all the time, it’s hard to believe that these people are on the road with us.
Imagine back when these same folks had a horse and buggy.
I LOVE this channel ! ! ! Makes me smile EVERY time ! ! ! 👍👍😊😊
I watched another dealer's tech drive a vehicle passed our shop and the alignment rack sensor shot 20 feet in the air before landing in our parking lot. Sweetest parts return ever
You had me at “front seat won’t move forward…”😂😂😂😂😂
your paint one i worked as a wash bay person late 80's has a brand new car come in for prep one side had full chrome trim door handle / mirror /wheel well / door trim /etc the other side did not have any chrome shop had to order and install chrome for other side
Happy New year. People driving their cars to the shop when they should be on a low loader, think they are saving money, however the damage they are doing costs a lot more in the end.
It always amazes me how long people can ignore problems like loose suspension components or broken bearings bevore finally taking the car to a shop.
1:48 did the guy leave the car in 6th and use the clutch like a cvt or something? Jesus.
All the best for 2023 dude 🎊👍
Love the transmission explosions 💥 although the rear door moo-ing is pretty cool too 🤣 hope you had a great time over the holidays bud 👍
All the best to you as well my friend! I could only imagine how loud that explosion was and it was great but not long enough 😂
1:21 One could almost forgive the customer for this one. All reservoirs should be clearly market with a symbol AND text. However, the fact that the customer didn't say anything about the low coolant light probably means they're just clueless.
now thats a first seeing a vehicle being driven away with the alignment sensor still attached.
Its the new style, all the kids are doing it these days
That's on both the mechanic (for not remembering to remove the sensor) and the owner (for not checking before leaving the shop).
Do certain car brands make certain animal sounds?? Lol
I'm starting to think so 😆
I wish I could see how those manual drivers treat clutches. I put a BRAND NEW clutch in a car a while ago, new owner got mad at me because it 'let go' 6 months after he bought the car and blamed me. Said it was because I put a cheap clutch in the car. I put the exact same clutch in an identical car for another customer, no issues. I also used the same brand clutch in my truck, used it harshly for years, towing trailers, pulling tree stumps, doing burnouts, blowing rear diffs, drifting, etc. Still a perfect clutch. I even own a car that I have never replaced the clutch in, since 2006. And guess what? Clutch is still good.
Some people are just really hard on clutches, because they are bad drivers. I was the 3rd owner of a 5-speed manual Lexus that was still going on the original clutch. I did finally have to replace it, and sold the car on to someone else without further repair on it. Car went almost 200k miles on the OEM clutch, because the owners were competent.
I will never understand how people can be so clueless.
Very scary.....
The second video is what duct tape and superglue are invented for.
I was wondering if the last shot was the Laser Retroreflector left on the moon by the Apollo Astronauts, or if it was from the alignment shop. 🤔🤔
2:19 General Motors " quality "
The damage to the Jeep had to have happened while towing because there are no brown stains on the driver seat
Bet that shop manger was sure happy his tech left that alignment hub on that wheel. That’s funny stuff.
Guess the shop was doing one of them there high range wireless no touch alignments?
Just rolled in!
woohoo!
New Year. New dummies. 👍 👍 👍
That last clip had some serious Ben Hur vibes!
Had a 2018 volkswagen atlas. They have some crooked ass mechanics. That coolant leak is well known. Took it to the dealership 5 times over the years. Even put dye in it try find the leak. Then tried to blame us for putting the wrong color coolant in and couldn't find the leak. I took the day to find the leak, showed it to them and they refused to repair. Stayed we never brought it in and the vehicle records were not in the system. They got quiet when I produced the paper copies of their "work".
Never trust VW or their dealers
Think we're all getting COVID. New Just Rolled In...ALL BETTER
1:48 I have a older C1500 with a manual and always leave the keys in it. Co-workers always tell me "someone can steal it"! 9 out of 10 people can't even start it (clutch pedal depress interlock) let alone drive a stick. Not worried in the least.
The US has some pretty severe driver's education issues yeah.
Mobile alignment ftw!
I like the drivers seat that's died to the rear bumper. I think I would bring that customer out cut the string and hand them the bill.
What'd they replace the oil with? Road tar?
Cooking oil, probably.
3:03 Seems like it might be a government vehicle that idled a helluva lot. May've been used like that one truck with more engine hours than miles.
That last one should be "Just Rolled Out", same idea, but customers pointing out mechanic's mistakes.
It takes all kinds to make a world.. great video!!
Proof positive that you can't make this stuff up
I really love this channel, it is one of the few times when I'm watching the videos going WTF and scared because i realize that these people are "AMONG US" on the road!!!
Omg the alignment head on the wheel has me dying, those are expensive too
About that paint job on the new suv. I'm thinking it was "painted at 3:15 and quitting time was at 3:30 on Friday afternoon.
I wish I could say that poor QC is an anomaly with GMCs, but I'd be wrong.
Union painter.
@@sylviaisgod6947
Car painting on new cars is done by robots now.
@@annehaight9963 Sentient robots, who joined the union.
The paint job is weird. Almost like one robot went down and no one caught the defect.
Never forget to fill your headlight fluid.
