This rescue makes me appreciate my dad. He was an old-time mechanic and every old car/truck I drug home he was excited as I was to get them up and running and making sure the things that mattered worked and were safe. He's been gone almost 25 years, but I couldn't have asked for a better father. More importantly, he helped make some great memories for a teenage kid that had big ideas and instilled a "you can do anything you set your mind too" attitude.

My first car was a '55 Plymouth. I drove it to Ontario and back in 1972. My co-driver was a bit of a lead foot though. The battery went into the fan on some potholes, we climbed Rogers pass on 5 cylinders, got a new battery and carried on. The fuel pump stopped working in Saskatchewan somewhere on a Sunday,, nary a new one to be found. somehow it cleared itself and away we went. It wasn't used to doing 70 MpH though and my buddy broke some rings on the way back. I replaced the engine when I got home. Oh, nearly forgot, he drove it off the road and down a bank too. Fell asleep after six hours driving when I'd just put in 30 hours and couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. That took a wrecker to get it out but no damage. Ha, ha, it was a good trip.

They compete like dogs, but will always, in the end, love and help each other. It's a wonderful thing to watch as a Dad. (Don't get me started on their sister, who is right between those two wonderful mutts. I worked with my youngest on many a construction site and also served in the Navy...

That young dude reminds me of myself when I was his age; had several old vehicles at the time and none of them could in any way be considered either reliable nor in good working order. I'd always be driving the most reliable one whilst I was working on the others and then when that one broke I'd switch to one of the others that I had at least got to the stage of running & driving somewhat, and then start the whole process over. Never occurred to me at the time to spend the money to buy just one lower-mileage & trouble-free vehicle as my daily driver...

I have worked with people that have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever. They have never opened the hood on their vehicles. Back in the 80's, my school did offer a class on Automotive knowledge and theory. I know that many schools got rid of wood and metal shop classes, not sure about Auto Theory. I also had a father that made sure all of his kids could change a tire and check the oil and other fluids on their vehicle before they were allowed to drive as a Highschooler. Now, many cars don't even come with a spare tire. I now kind of understand why Uber and Lyft is a thing now since many young adults don't even have a driver's license, or the ambition to learn to budget to keep an automobile in running order.

I started out Mercury, given to me bt older brother back in 1961. Had a hole in the floor because of no trans linkage. Used extra large phillips screwdriver bent 90 deg stuck in 2nd and 3rd link. Made a point to never back up. Would have needed to crawl under car to move "link" over to 1st and reverse link! Had a '30Ford coupe w/spare mount in rt front fender. No bracket for lig nut, so just aired up spare to max to hold it in fender. Up in mts of SoCal at a view point when other folks stopped and asked if I lost a spare tire.......yep two miles down mountain. Two short stories of growing up in early 60s.......next was cutting roof off 50 Dodge business coupe with a hatchet and hack saw. Ba k then cars ( limping) were 25 to 30 dollars!

Ahh, golden rule of junkers. *"If you drive a junk POS, you need to drive TWO junk POS's."* You can't just rely on the one. You drive one and fix the other until the driver breaks and you swap their places. And both are perpetually on life support, you don't take them offroading, especially when the backup isn't done being fixed yet. In this case, this kid apparently needs 3 junk POS's.

For the Tahoe, with the front tire leaking, once the rear axle decided to almost detach, you could have put the left front tire in the back if the truck and put the left rear tire on the left front. And with Colin's remark about "it just slithered up there", I propose the name "Snake" for the wrecker.

​@@MyRadDesign i don't think he charged this one. The charge would have been more then the vehicle is worth. MORR used to show them not charging, Fabrats and Casey the same. Most on this business do not charge the customer once they hit a certain subscriber level. They may not have Elon money but they are doing very well. Matt understands he will make 5 figures from this video so he doesn't need the customer's money, the customer is making him a lot of money.

Clear example of why Utah getting rid of safety inspections was a terrible idea, those kind of vehicles are in traffic with us everyday. That tie rod could have broken with a pothole causing a head on crash. Brakes go out at a traffic light striking a motorcycle or a car with a new born baby. Leafs come out rolling the suburban at a high rate of speed.

I could fill the tank...but would have to do so at a trickle...otherwise id leak the whole tank out in 5 mins....replaced it with a better piece of junk. Missing one rear stabilizer...the other was hanging..muffler was patch with jb weld...the pipes had hight temp tape wrapped around..and everything was held up with coat hangers. I remember the day the MTO pulled me over...😅
