I've been working on cars since I was 15 and am now almost 62. If I can't do it myself I take it to a shop. I let them know that I was a mechanic and a Mechanic's wife for over 41 years so they know not to try and sell me what I don't need, but if they're honest with me they will get my business and my referrals. So I know what you mean. My current vehicle is a 1997 Chevy suburban with 193,400 miles on it and no rust. I laugh at some of the cars you deal with and others make me cringe. Keep up the great work.

In most states in Australia, all vehicles over 5 years old must have a yearly inspection so they never get as bad as some of these. If they don't pass they don't get registration, no registration is big fines and no insurance. So if a car is registered here, it will be in sfe reasonable condition.

In Germany brand new cars have to be ispected after 3 years and used cars have to get inspected every 2 years. If something isn't right you have 4 weeks to repair it and have to pay just around 20€ for the after-inspection. If you can't manage to get it done in that time you have to pay another 100€ for a new inspection.

@@rogerwilco2 idk what you are talking about. I live in the US. Every state has their own inspection laws.

@timh9537 2 жыл бұрын

It takes some serious neglect for that to happen. The u-joints on the driveshaft keep the driveline forces aligned and if they seize up, all that torque is gonna end up twisting things in a way they were never designed to be twisted. Also the diffs themselves can fail and refuse to turn. Then it's just about the weakest point giving way.

One underlying issue that no one likes to mention is poverty. As a car is generally necessary, and a great number of people are on an economic knife's edge prioritizing food, rent, kids' needs etc. car maintenance gets put off in the hope of better times. These videos thus show that a living wage might prevent a lot of this, _as well as a better diet and other needs families have. In short, it is not always driver stupidity or ignorance, but a series of desperate daily decisions about how to get through the week.
