0:46 This clip brings back nightmares. Years back my father was a patient at MDAnderson (a cancer clinic) in Houston, TX. Almost a 600 miles round trip, my dad had little faith in my daily driver, and insisted on me using a Cummins that I had just gotten from auction. When I say I had just gotten it, I mean I hadn't even taken it on a test drive, let alone notice that the tires were over a decade old and was as hard as oversized hockey pucks. We got to MDAnderson just fine, but when leaving the parking lot, there was a very, very, apparent wobble. The wobble went away as we increased velocity, and at 60+ the wobble wasn't even noticable. When we got home (almost 300 miles of driving with a wobble), I noticed that the front-driver side tire was visibly egg shaped. I didn't have to spin the tire, like in the clip, to see that it was out of round. With the truck sitting in the drive way, it was very much apparent to the naked-eye that the tire was totally egg shaped. The tread had really begun to separate from the rest of the tire.

Ya, they have all kinds of ways to prevent and discourage car ownership in Europe. I read a story from the U.K. about owners of certain older Corvettes.

@Alfred Wedmore In the U.S. we figured out how to park a car so that even if the brake failed, it wouldn't roll down a hill. Also, most parking brakes only activate the rear brakes. If you park a light front wheel drive nose first down a hill, it might slide away anyway even with the rear brakes locked up. Now, I do understand parking brakes being more useful in the U.K. than the U.S., since almost all U.S. vehicles are automatics. But even with manuals, many just leave them in gear. Also, where I'm at, half the year you can't use it because you risk the brake freezing and then you're stuck.

@@m1k1a1 Were I live we not only fight ice, but salt. So rust also takes out our parking brakes, at least on older vehicles it did. I hope they are not as salt-happy around you. You are right, tho, a well used parking brake will work better. When I was younger, I used to try to use the parking brake, but, with no inspections, and I live in a pretty flat area, the incentive wasn't there for me to keep up that habit. I gave up after a while and just stopped using them except in rare cases. For example, an automatic has a parking pin to hold the vehicle, but if you use it on a hill, it can be hard to shift out of park. The parking brake can prevent that. Rear disc brakes did change the landscape. Some built the parking brake into the disc caliper, and some use a dedicated park-only brakes. Both tended to work better than drums, however, drum brakes, technically, have more static holding power by design, but only going forward. That's another story, tho. I wonder what your rules would say about something like an old Jeep flat fender, which has the parking brake on the drive shaft, not on the wheels. On my CJ, just to be a rebel in my area, I actually did buy all new parking brake cables for it to make it work. However, I'm sure it would not pass any European tests. The stock tires are only 27" in diameter and it now has 32" tires, so the parking brake just doesn't have the holding power for such big tires compared to stock.

That rusted out BMW's exhaust pipe is exactly what my older cars' would look like after a couple of months. Granted, I pick up some winter beaters for cheap and one good Sunfire as a long-time daily. On every one of them an exhaust problem would occur which would warrant a trip to a local muffler shop. After chopping off the old and welding on the new it would only be weeks before spots of brown would show up. Before the year was out I could (and did) expect holes from the flex pipe to the muffler. At the prices I was paying it was awful peculiar how and why steel was f*cking up so much so fast. Fortunately my summer car (1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse) came with a Greddy Ti-C exhaust system. Stainless. That was over 7 years ago and it's still clean as it should be. That's the only good thing the seller did to the poor car. Yeah, it's a "rescue". So what's the deal with the Challenger at the beginning? Owner took it off-roading? Hopped a few too many curbs? Purposefully drive into every pothole he saw?

@@rogerwilco2 "When the only way to travel anywhere in your country is by car, then a lot of people who should not be driving end up behind the wheel. The problem in the USA, is that it is too car centric, and you cannot get anywhere without one." That's absolute garbage. You can get everywhere without a car easily from busses to trains to pedalbikes or e-bikes. The reason everyone drives isn't because "it's the only way you can get around", but because it's more pleasant than public transport and less work than cycling, and is normally marginally faster than either (though cycling is faster in urban environments). As long as a car is a nice bubble of personal space that you get to sit in without leprous hordes crowding around you, that you don't need to expend any physical effort to use, people are always going to drive primarily no matter what.

I was coming to a stop sign a number of years ago and about a 1967 Dodge Dart was making a right onto the street. All of a sudden, I heard a loud BANG, and the Dart's passenger side front dropped about 4". The torsion bar broke! lol Fortunately, I think he was headed to a shop just down the street.

That last clip, looked like a late 1960s Chevelle or other Chevy - that was pretty awesome for the power windows. You get power windows and keep the original look. 5*

That's the problem with those low profile tires. There's little cushioning space to protect the wheel running over obstacles. Not to mention making the ride rougher.

@@dereknapier836 Low profile tires are great for the race track. Where the surface is smooth and free of obstacles. Where the provided tighter handling is a benefit. But 99% of the roads are in marginal to terrible shape these days

Had a lady come in with tires worn past the chords. She said her husband talked her into letting him get a new toy or something instead of tires because, “they still got some life in them.” She was absolutely pissed to see how bad they were and that he had his wife driving such a dangerous car. I was pissed too, for her sake.

I swear, I frequently wonder with many drivers if they truly have any idea of the FUNCTIONALITY of tires, apart from "Oh they go around & around"...?? 🤦🏻♀️ A decent basic illustrated physics module on how friction, acceleration, braking & hydroplaning work wouldn't go amiss as part of the licensing process, I feel...?

Heh, imagine having TWO sizes of rotors. If its an XC90, you've got three and no real indication of which you should use unless you measure! Super cool!
