My grandfather had a 1948 Ford F-1 pickup. The keyed ignition switch was "on -off" and there was a button on the dash for the starter. A friend's dad had a Studebaker pickup with a similar setup except the starter button was under the clutch pedal.

[@samholdsworth420]

Yeah no one would figure that shit out 😂

[@Jonathan.D]

Two guys brought in an old Chrysler Town N County mini van that they said they had just bought and wanted an expensive sound system installed. The system cost more than the jalopy it was going in. We all kind of guessed at where the money came from but the boss didn't care...at first. When I was taking off the driver side door panel I noticed a tiny switch on the side of the dash. It was almost in the same place as the one in the video. Normally there's a recess and in there is a screw that you remove to take off that side of the dash. I showed it to my boss and he was thinking it was a secret fuel cut off switch. Then we started tracing the wiring. We eventually found a little button under the dash on the passenger side. When the switch was up my boss pressed the button and the center of the dash popped up. It was a hidden compartment that was pushed up using two small pneumatic cylinders. When the boss saw that he told me to button it up and get it out of the shop. I parked it at the gas station a couple of blocks over and left the keys in it. What do you expect when the two guys who brought it in paid almost $10k in cash(mostly $5 & $10) and said their names were WeeWee and MoneyGrab. How do you get names like that?

I bolted it right in, and it kept my Swiss cheese box from flopping around. I bought it for $400. I drove it for 3 years, then sold it for $500. It may have sounded like a lawn mower, and it smashed up a spark plug once, but it was a good little truck. it had a manual transmission, and was MADE with no power steering.

I read in another comment that someone had a magnetic Reed switch under a cup holder and you had to put a magnet in said cup holder before the car would run... I think that's genius 😁

On the Tesla , wouldn't you notice that you had new brake pads left over when you finish the job . i can imagine how many tools have been left on cars by this guy .

That ignition bolt is frankly a better anti-theft than most alarm systems. I would keep it.

All these people had to do was watch a tutorial 😭 Me and my family literally built a whole basement off of youtube videos and it's higher quality than what the original builders did!

The last clip reminded me of a car I once drove that had to be started with the screen washer switch stalk, it was an emergency roadside assistance fix for a broken ignition switch ;)

[@russellhltn1396]

My father's old caddy broke the column shift. He just grabbed a screwdriver off the seat and used that. Until he junked the car years later, that's how he shifted it. We called it his anti-theft device.

I always wonder how much is charged for fixing "issues" like the pinecone or wiper blade, like, the minimum work hour charge for the shop I'd imagine? or nothing?

[@richardvenables619]

Likely depends on the shop and the customer. If you're decent, albeit clueless, about some simple problem, a lot of shops are usually OK with losing 5-10 minutes of labour, creates good customer relationships that way. On the other hand, if you come in rude, or swearing a blue streak, or complaining right off the start about how much something is going to cost, you're more likely to get hit for every minute the tech is checking it out.

[@JD-wn3cc]

They should charge 2 hours of labour for that and give 1.5 of it to an education based charity.

Smart Business : be polite, explain, no charge. Dumb Business : be rude, laugh at them, charge them.
