I used to commute into work for 14 years then got a job driving a box truck making deliveries because the office just sucked so much.... But, even in MA where we have yearly safety inspections i'd still see cars on the side of the highway, stopped on the left side of the highway, dead in a tunnel after a bump, etc, with busted lower ball joints causing the wheel to flop up, fallen apart wheel bearings causing the entire wheel to fall off, busted tie rod sending them into a guardrail... It's crazy how little people care about their car. None of those issues show up overnight, and most make a lot of nasty noise for quite a while. Getting a wheel bearing to completely fall apart takes a while.

I’m in the UK - mandatory annual inspections needed here if your car’s over 3 years old: just had mine done. If it’s a tiny fault they give you an ‘advisory’, which means ‘get it fixed by next inspection time…’

The inspections may help some, but you can't fix stupid.

It is truly astounding, and some of it is just plain, out and out stupidity.

A lot of them probably didn't even know it was that bad because why would they look they wouldn't know what to look for because they didn't think it would be bad enough to be that noticeable

perhaps was the dumbass owner that did it and blamed someone else...

Common sense is not common.

Just think. All these idiots are on the road. How safe do you feel?

I'd like to contact the person and find out how. My daughter has a beater car that has a broken door handle (safe otherwise) and If we could duplicate this fix, it would help a lot.

I actually gave a small grunt of approval at this hack...it's like "...aaahhh....ok."

It should still lock too, it got my approval.

I would have to agree with you on this one. My dad was a amazing mechanic and did amazing work, on other peoples cars of course😂. He should have been certified in afro enginuity when it came to our cars😂. If me or my sisters car had A/C before he worked on it it didnt after wards lol. Plus extra parts that we "didnt need". He did a top rebuild on my 01 venture. I was unaware it had California emissions. Well it did before he worked on it😂. He taught me so much and I can proudly say I do all of my own repairs. I am no super certified mechanic and there is repairs Ive never done. But I give it my all, reach out for help, dont try to be a know it all and continue to learn new things. I just did a motor swap on my 05 Malibu V6. I asked a ton of questions but basically did all the work myself. Now Im having an electrical problem and I would much rather give birth than deal with electrical😂. It had issues before I got it and only have it because it was free. The dick who did the work on this car before me I hope he stubbs his toe everyday in life. Every bolt that could possibly been put on with a power wrench or impact he did and without antiseeze.

A friend of mine used to work at a local farm supply store. He was my "go to guy" when I needed a battery. It amazed both of us how many people don't take those caps off.

I'll take that deal all day every day!

It tells you that people are to lazy to get it repaired. Best way to avoid repairs is if you have the money trade it in every 2-3 years or 36,000 miles just before it expires.

I can't fathom it either. Considering how obscene car prices are (even before COVID), one would think that the owner would take better care of their car. Whether it's preventive maintenance, or fixing a problem as soon as it shows up. Some people would rather ruin their cars, and buy another car and make payments for the next 5-6 years. I hate borrowing from banks, it's like a sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

While its horrifyingly true how oblivious some car owners are it's also equally terrible how garbage cars and trucks are anymore. 10 years after they go off the dealer lot they are basically junk that cant be fixed. In 20 years nobody is going to hand their son or daughter the keys to a treasured 2015 cobalt that's been in the family since new. It's been recycled 4 times into more garbage

@@chrissturgeon1571 It's crime. These types of vehicles are almost always the result of street takeovers and/or sketchy neighborhoods where gangs are common. I promise you bullet-riddled cars are only regular in larger cities, while cars on the absolute brink of collapse are typically products of countryside people who think the mechanic is trying to price gouge them or they're drug addicts who refuse to spend excess money on anything but drugs.

It's very dependent on where in America you are. In a quiet suburb it would be almost as unimaginable as where you are.

Also document it before you go in with warranty complaint, my father got done over like that, they said there was 80 psi in the tires so the warranty is void. Not a chance my father made that mistake, none.

@@unclejim1528 i mean most non mechanics don't even have access to pumps that would fill to 80 on a car tire in any reasonable amount of time

And use your own tire gauge. The ones on the hose at the gas station are wildly inaccurate. That's probably why that tire has so much air in it.

Sounds like the tech got carried away "seating" the tire....

@@ostrich67 some when we get cars in with air like that. literally the excuse is "i didnt want to waste the quarter"........

SAD but true.. AND they will want you to locate, buy, and install any parts needed for a complete repair. And complain if you did not clean the windshield while you were in there. I tell any one that MY mechanical knowledge stops at "Fell er up!!" I tell (especially family) I don't even pump my own gas. It is better that way.

It wasn't just physically blocking the key from being inserted?

Makes sense!

I came to the comments looking for this exact answer, thanks :)

@@ShotGunner5609 no if the key is not fully inserted you wont be able to turn

Serves him right for putting a cockring around his ignition

I could understand if the ring stopped the key from turning. But the key turned and the lights came on. I cannot understand why it would have disabled the start circuit and no other.

@@smitajky cause the damn key aint in all the way lmfao

Because the bedazzled ring being made of a ferrous metal was interrupting the field made by the coil loop on the tumbler assembly. That loop imparts EMF to the small loop in the chip key chip. When energizing happens properly, the chip in the chip key is energized and the chip sends back the code to the tumbler assembly and the computer authorizes the key by checking for that particular unique code and then allows the car to start. In summary, the chip was not getting energized by EMF.

Thank you for being here!

Yes, exactly. So many people think they have to add "funny" bits while it's just very annoying. Maybe if your audience is 13 year old teens, it might be a good choice. So please keep this relaxed atmosphere.

@@RoonMian or new orleans haha

The mismatched tyres remind me of my dad's 05 Trailblazer he got in late January or early February of this year for a couple thousand. All the rims are stock... But the tyres are 245/70R16s on all but the front driver's side. The front driver's side has the stock width and what have you, which is 235/70R16. Might need to sort that out eventually, as well as the rough shift from 1 to 2.

starts better too

It’s preventing the key from going in all the way. The chip in the key doesn’t reach its sensor, that 16th of an inch thickness of the bling ring doesn’t let it line up. I ran into a similar problem with a woman who had a plastic grip added to the key, it just snapped over the head of the key, but prevented it from going all the way in. What’s worse, is she didn’t make the connection, it didn’t dawn on her that the key stopped working when she added the grip thing. She couldn’t understand what one had to do with the other? She had that look on her face that she thought I was feeding her a load of crap. I didn’t even charge her anything.

@@alphagt62 If it was preventing the key from going all the way in it wouldn't still turn in the lock.

No... Now you can contact the police about it, and find out if it may have been used in some sort event. But it is not a requirement. It's more of the, hey this cars been shot up, i should call the police kinds thing. But you do not have to. Although if it's filled with holes you probably should.

Or do what the TV trained them to do and tell the mechanic that they're lying and trying to sell them parts they "don't need."

they whine, they bitch, they complain we are trying to sell them shit... and then they drive off part of the time. "so and so can do it cheaper!" or "i can fix it myself!" etc. the smarter ones buckle down and get the repairs, or admit the vehicle is toast. just had a lady in with a 2001 malibu, hubby told her it was toast, to not waste money repairing it and use that money to buy something better. needed new tires all around new brakes and rotors all around - several lines were bad so probably those as well the drivers seat was busted, the floor attachment area was nothing but rust on one side at least one control arm and wheel bearing misfiring- sounded like an old lawnmower body was trashed, rusted, front end and hood dented in but the kicker... couldn't run it more than 5 mins without it overheating with clouds of steam... head gasket or cracked block. we didn't bother to finish diagnosing at that point and that's when we told her it wasn't worth it. she had it towed to midas to get them to do the repairs... which will probably be 3x what we would charge if we were willing to do the work.

It wasnt like that when i brought it in....never taking accountability.

In my experience, the worst customers are the cheap skates who always cry about being ripped off. They abuse their vehicles, but don't want to pay to fix them.
