[@DavidScheiber]

If you ever wondered the reason why people make a big deal out of cars going so long in burnout competitions is because It puts a tremendous amount of heat into the engine. You're essentially running the engine at 100% load while sitting almost completely still. Since the car is barely moving there's almost no air being passed over the radiator. I'm surprised the engine in this thing didn't lock up completely seeing how hot exhaust got and how long it sayed at redline. It was likely also starving for oil as the vehicle was at such an extreme angle and at max RPM the engine is likely pumping oil as fast as it returns to the sump.

I feel for this guy. When I lost my job I made sure my payments were made. Still an error with the mean holder cost then 150k. I had my Jetta repossessed and yet the lean holder sent me paperwork showing I was current. But I had no job. The repo guy still took my Jetta. After I showed the police the paperwork from the bank and proving I was current they charged the repo company with grand theft auto and they turned around and sued me for causing their driver to be arrested. That caused me to dish out an additional 20k of money and that was my all of my savings at the time. Their case was dropped and mine was allowed to go ahead. Then I got my car back the windows was broken out and the seats were slashed. They told the police I did it when they were trying to tow the car. My ring cameras showed differently and again additional charges to lying to police and felony vandalism was bought against them. The company ended up going out of business and had to pay me 150k. And the insurance totaled my car. I ended up in a good spot but this ordeal caused me to miss out on four jobs because I could not make the interviews because of court dates and police interviews. So again. Repo guys some are cool but the rest will do what they can make your life a living hell. This guy is one of the good ones. Please be careful.

that car has a Toyota 1.8L 4-cyl engine and trans its fiiine. replace the wheel and tire and it’ll go on returning 30MPG

Technically the tow truck driver committed battery on the driver and borderline kidnapping. You can NOT hook up an occupied vehicle. He should know better.

[@dlsimes]

@@catfisher420 I don’t believe he knew anyone was in the car until the driver started it up and started acting like a crazy person. The driver could have been reclined back where he couldn’t see.

[@catfisher420]

@@dlsimes If you listen to the video he admits to knowing the guy was in it.

@@visioneerone Yes sir! It's just a rebadged a Toyota matrix! The only good vehicles GM makes are the ones that were re-bagged Toyota's!

[@scottcochran384]

why would they cut him loose? he needs time behind bars for Destruction of property. Best way to get "On your feet" is don't make your payments..

[@nickmcwilliams685]

Turning him loose doesn't mean he won't get charged with anything. I don't know the laws for property damage during a repo, but I bet it was a crime or he is at least responsible for the damage.

[@runbigfoot]

I would think that would be illegal to tow a car if someone is already in it. At the very least repossessing a car worth about $500 while someone is living in it seems immoral.

[@doom4067]

He didn't tow it with someone in it. The guy wouldn't get out so he asked the police to come and encourage him.
