Mechanic Reacts To Dangerous Death Traps

[@steeljawX]

I honestly love it when Angelina and Sandro are on, and really all of your guests. But Angelina and Sandro are both like the cousins we don't actually have. Sandro's the cousin who'll take those chances and will gladly show you how to rig up a dry ice bomb, but will only watch you do it because he actually knows how dumb and dangerous it is. Angelina is like the smarter cousin who's experienced quite a bit and isn't afraid to tell us, "That will end poorly and you really don't want to be paying for that for 15 years while it's broken. I'm not saying one's better than the other, they're just like that part of an extended family. Angelina's gonna take you off-roading, camping, or whatever, but will absolutely tell you when you're doing something stupid, Sandro is gonna tell you how to do something stupid, tell you it's stupid, provide you with stuff to do said stupid thing, but he'll make you learn first hand how stupid it actually is. Angelina will stop you from shoving the fork in the electrical socket, Sandro will give you more forks and a car battery to do more experiments with as he stands further back for his own safety. Can't wait for the family reunion.

[@bsrcat1]

Brake Fade... In 98 I was working as a chauffeur. This extremely overweight family (everyone was fat) needed to get from Ohio to a hotel in West Virginia for their vacation. There were 10 of them in my 16 passenger limo. Each one of them weighed over 200 lb. We had a second limousine that was a 10 passenger just carrying their luggage. First 3 hours of the trip was great. Then we started getting into West Virginia, deep in the mountains. The limo that I was driving was a 97 and if you didn't know all they basically do when they make a limousine is cut the car and make it longer they don't put in bigger brakes The only thing that they put in bigger is the alternator and springs 😳. Limousines are designed to drive around a city not for cross-country travel and definitely not for driving in the mountains and if you are driving in the mountains having a whole car full of people that weigh as much as a whole car is not a wise thing to do. We started going down this very steep hill. I am not using any gas and we are accelerating rapidly. I touched the brakes and then I let off because I'm a professional driver and I know that you can't just cook your brakes or you have none. With this much weight downshifting is an option but you can blow your transmission. I didn't have much of a choice. I hit the brakes and try to touch and go but as soon as I let off the brakes we would start accelerating rapidly. So I downshifted to second. This helped but the transmission was screaming and oh yeah it is a slow snake curve banking right And then left over the course of two or three miles straight down. As we are going around the curves I am now transmission in 2 in the car is going about 80 mph and the wheels are screaming. I'm still doing touch and go with the brakes to try to maintain control. I've never been so happy to see the bottom of a hill in all my life 😢😁. I started getting brake fade and I had nothing... And you could smell the brakes. We got down to the bottom of the hill and I pulled in the rest stop and told everybody to go use the bathroom and take their time because we were going to be there for the better part of a half hour, to 45 minutes to let the brakes cool down. These people were complete assholes and upset that I was making them wait. I didn't give a damn My job is to pick them up in one piece and drop them off in one piece and I plan on going home at the end of every day. When we pulled into the rest area the other driver said that he could see that my rotors were red hot. If you want to know what it felt like it felt greasy. The brakes weren't squishy It felt like somebody had thrown grease onto the rotors. When they get that hot before you ever get break fade the brake pads will squeeze against the Red Hot metal and it will actually cook the pad and turn it into a vapor which is not a friction surface because it's a gas and you will feel it. Brake fade is the last stage but you don't have brakes before then. I only had two oh s*** moments in 2 years of driving limousines and that was number one on my list. My pucker Factor was at a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10.

[@irzyxelwj]

My real oh sht moment was my first time driving to WV and took a corner like I would in Ohio, vs the recommended speed. Almost launched off the edge of the mountain. I learned real quick to take corners slower in WV. 🤣

[@bsrcat1]

@@irzyxelwj Yeah they like cinders on their roads 🤣. They haven't really gotten up to good old pavement in a lot of places. I live in Ohio as well and my father grew up in West Virginia there was a time they didn't even have speed limits when the highways first opened for West Virginia the speed limit sign red DP... That's good for "decent and proper", completely at the discretion of the officer that was pulling you over. If it was a clear sunny day and you were hauling ass and he didn't feel like giving Chase you were decent proper. If he felt his car can catch up to yours then you got a ticket. Likewise if you were driving in unsafe conditions for the weather they could pull you over. It wasn't a speeding ticket per se It was like a reckless driving ticket but everything back then wasn't like it is now You paid your fine and went on about your day.

[@kraigbolte6098]

As a former owner of death traps like these I'm proud of the parking lot/ side of the road repairs I had to do just to get it back home and cobel it together a little better the next day to keep it going. I have used compression fittings on brake lines to get home. I drove around for months with plywood screwed down to my floorboard so my feet didn't fall through the rust hole. One time when I was on the way home from taking a car to the junk yard, dropped my rear drive shaft. I had to put the back tires of my truck on the car dollie was pulling, use ratchet straps to hold tongue of the dollie up, some barbed wire I cut out of a farmer's fence to hold the drive shaft up and limp it 6 miles home in 4 wheel drive. When i was finally able to aford to buy vehicles that didn't brake down every few months/weeks the guys at my local parts store thought i died because i stop coming in all the time. Bottom line if you're going to be poor and drive a rusted out shitbox you have to be a little creative and have some ingenuity to keep it moving from point A to point B.

One was really big and looked really important lol Needless to say he had a shop look it over after that. Then a couple months later it gets stolen and is never seen again. Luckily this is in like ‘08ish so tuner cars were still very affordable so he wasn’t out that much money. Think he paid $5k and it was super clean, loved the t-tops.

Death trap that came from "Tires Plus" when a family member went to get all 4 brakes done on their 04 Pilot and they drove it maybe 180 miles in 6 months locally. I opted to buy the Pilot after those 6 months. I saw the bill for the brake work and inspection. Well "Tires Plus" repair thankfully didn't kill my GF and I. I buy it and I am driving around and here a mild thunk (I assumed loose exhaust strap which when fix it stopped) when stopping every so often, no spongey pedal, no braking issues and heating up during city driving. Her and I hit the highway and thankfully it was a clear road ( I-95 into downtown Philly which 70-100 MPH is common. I was at probably 65-70) We come off the city and I tap the brakes and my rear wheel grinds a little. I'm in downtown traffic, park and think maybe my caliper was hanging a little but nothing major. Safe enough to get home. Tow was 4 hour wait and $320. Well start driving home, no issues i notice in braking at surface road speed. So I get on the highway back. Rush hour is just about to start so I see traffic uphead and opt for the exit vs going to the closer exit to the house. I come off the exit around 40 mph, touch the brakes and it sounds like a bomb goes off in the rear, back driver side wheel locks up and i come skidding into the turn. I kept it under control and managed to not wreck into stopped traffic. I pull off with the wheel locked maybe 30 feet to a parking lot. I notice my tire is flat and I have a 100 ft skid mark off the ramp. I jack it up and think it probably was a blow out. Nope. "Tires Plus" failed to install the lower caliper bolt resulting in my caliper being ripped from the knuckle, punching through the rim and ripping the soft line in half and smashing the hardline. I pull the caliper and line, crimp the hardline and limp the 5 mins home after finding out the rim had a 1/2" hole through the middle from a buddies tire shop at that corner. Final repairs were full rear knuckle, hardline, soft line, trailing arm, brakes, rotors, calipers, and rim/tire. Fast forward a few days from this repair. I'm pissed this was how this vehicle was repaired for my elderly family and as I am heading to "Tires Plus" I hit the brakes again on the 2nd time driving this and i hear the wear indictors bite into the front rotors. I pull back to the house and find the "NEW BRAKE PADS" weren't actually new. Both pads were very much worn and now gouges in the rotors from this. They replaced the rear, missed the lower bolt. Charged for front pads and never replaced them and I had 54 miles from buying to over $1000 in parts to repair this to a safe vehicle. After this incident I was driving another family members vehicle who was on vacation so loaned me her Jeep to drive while I finished repairing the Honda. I was almost killed when a 100ft rotted tree fell on the Jeep at about 45mph. It crushed AB and C pillars, roof was on the passenger seat and crushed all but me. I have injuries still and this was 2 years ago. Had I not hit the gas at the last second as I saw the tree I would be dead. My GF skipped the ride 10 mins before or she would have taken the entire tree on her. Hitting the gas allowed momentum to keep the tree rolling off the Jeep. Had I braked when it happened it would have crushed the roof on top of me according to fire and EMS on scene. In both incidents had I been an inexperienced driver and just panicked in both situations I would have been dead or my GF and I would have both died. 1 is a death trap from shitty mechanics. Another was poor maintenance of roads and thoroughfares. Looking back 5 years this tree had been rotted and dead. It totalled 2 cars that night. After it hit me and rolled across the road a Prius hit it on the ground at close to 50 mph. Sorry for the long comment but this is bad mechanics work that could have been worse had we hit the brakes on the highway and blown a tire, locking a wheel. Also the tree is something I'll never forget. It's been years and $10s of thousands in medical bills, chronic pain daily and likely will be multiple surgeries in the future because the tree maintenance company cut corners. Please don't cut corners, this is people's lives 🙏

[@unkleeyerose]

About 10 years ago i drove my used 91 ford probe (mazda 626) from champaign illinois to dallas fort worth in one go. On the way the drivers side rear brake caliper locked up and the heat of the trip caused the pad to fuse to the caliper piston. Leaving dallas. I had to slam on the brakes on the freeway which caused the caliper piston in the drivers rear to shoot out but since it was fused to the brake pad it could no longer go in. I drove that car back to central illinois being careful over two days. When i would stop id turn the car off. Top off the brake fluid then pump the brakes to bleed them so i could get one good stop. If i used that stop before i wanted to id nutral drop and aim for a parking block. I got it home and fixed the brakes but eventually the interference engine got me and it blew up. I loved that car though.

[@Matthew19002]

The trailblazer platform with the broken upper rear control arms, I've seen it on 2 already, pushing 3 with my current one just starting to snap the upper on the driver's side. The problem is that the fender liner doesn't cover the control arms and grit, salt, sand, gravel and dirt rot the frame out right there via the factory frame holes and the bracket doesn't give clearance to even wash it out. The control arm locks up in the bracket then flexes until it snaps. I'd say it was planned obsolescence, good vehicles but you have to spray those out to maintain them or pull them to clean them out, just buy new arms. Neglected the frame will rot out, I have an example of that. End note I'm absolutely a fanboy of Angelina. 😂 But yeah there's a few things on those SUVs that are devastating issues but I have 4 of them now lol

[@Lu-KN]

Now I am definitely convinced that Sandro is a vampire. First I thought the teeth are just show-off, but being willing to ridie SO MANY DEATHTRAP VEHICLES you HAVE TO be immortal hahaha

[@TheRealStitchDaSavage]

Sandro just always seems like a cool guy to chill with

[@dabmonstr7108]

Sandro is basically the unofficial Donut mascot. Dude is a vibe of his own!🤣🤣🤣

[@GrandConnoisseur]

Sandro is the maaaan!!! Every car enthusiast needs a friend like him! 😆

[@thecommodoredecker]

12:15 i had one of those come in with a shattered t case. Had the same problem.. it also took out the diff too because when he drove it it not only rocked up and down but it cocked to the side and crabwalked! He drove it that way for 5 months

[@charlie1832]

That brass fitting at 13:30 looks like it’s a 1/4” compression coupling that I use plumbing, I don’t think the threads broke like she Angelina said I think the nut loosened up and came off the coupling, whoever put that on took the black coating off the brake line to get the nut and feral on the brake line

[@mirthenary]

1:36 I've actually seen a truck in a similar condition with the frame bent like a taco, and they drove EVERYWHERE at 35, even in a 55 zone

[@jasonstinson1767]

They never have seen frames breaking behind the cab in CA so it never occurred to them

[@ex4787]

Man I was starting to worry about Sandro, but thankfully y’all found the line he wouldn’t cross 😂

[@nicozimmermann8672]

Man i love those two. Sandro knows no fear. I´m always amazed about what is possible to drive in the USA. I live in Austria and our yearly road legality checks are insanely strict and the state makes it as difficult as possible to modify your car in any way.

[@Sam-lr9oi]

some states in the US don't require any vehicle inspection at all. where I'm from in NJ, inspection is every two years and only checks that your emissions systems are functioning and no check engine lights are on. No inspection needed on sufficiently big trucks pre-2006 I think, and none needed on passenger vehicles older than 1995 or any motorcycles. Needless to say, I would feel a lot safer on the road in Austria

[@nicozimmermann8672]

@@Sam-lr9oi man that is absolutely crazy. Yea you would feel safer but it comes at a price. And that is a huge one. They check yearly everything. From joints, enginemounts, rust, emissions, leaks, tyres, even the fucking wipers. If you have a little hole on the under side of your car, you fail. Some shops are so strict that you fail if your wiper makes a line on your windshield. And they can just say "dude we have to replace all the brake lines" and there is little you can do cos you can fail inspection once and you have to do the second one in max 30 days or they take your road legality sticker away, your insurance doesn't cover you and you get fined a lot of money. Insurance is 50-150€ per month depending on horsepower and you pay like 1,80€ per liter in gas. Owning a car here is expensive af. And don't get me started on mods. They just make it next to impossible to modify. I can explain how rediculous the laws here are but i'm about to go to sleep. If you are interested i can write something down tomorrow.

[@ImNotZerex]

@@nicozimmermann8672that’s actually fucked. I’m sorry man

[@nitroruski7986]

@@nicozimmermann8672 they do inspections in finland every year also modding your car in finland is not to go to A-katsastus aka old finnish monopoly company because the state owned inspection place had many envious or communists as inspectors from 60-90's because of hatred of westerner cars because that mean't that you had more money or just to fuck with if your face wasn't their likein but connections usually stopped the inspectors to fuck with you because two way road if you knew the right ones.

[@nitroruski7986]

correction in the 60's to 90's not from because they retired or dead

[@hxcmoonjuice]

Sandro is always down. He's a real one. If I lived there, Sandro would be my mechanic. Hands down.

[@TheWinjin]

I wanted to say that this ad suddently went SO REAL and I loved the energy of the director who was like "Yay I get to be in the spotlight a bit!"

[@stewpacalypse7104]

Angelina should have her own Donut show. I wrench with my 12 year old daughter and Angie would be a great inspiration for young girls interested in cars.

[@cherrycheshire7555]

Sandro is crazy, I love it. What if you put these two head-to-head with a crew in something similar like scrapheap challenge where they build a "car" in 2 days from scrap and take it to a circuit? That would be wild to see.

[@HATECELL]

My two favourite guests on the show. And especially in this episode it was awesome to see how different they think. Angelina is right, that stuff can be very dangerous for yourself and others, especially the stuff which can lead to catastrophic failure mid-drive. But I also have to agree with Sandro, it's hella fun. Please enjoy deathtraps responsibly

[@abadatha]

Sandro is like a lot of home mechanics I know, myself included. Like, embarrassed by it, but yeah, I'd ride that.

[@vastyesaltydog]

I sat on the gas tank of my buddies 1940 Chevy truck he was putting together. No doors, windows, belts, or floorboards, and only a seat for the driver going 45-50 mph down our gravel road. It’s a sweet truck now, but that was the sketchiest ride I’ve ever been on. Also, Sandro needs to be in every video. That dude’s legit!

[@Douphipp455]

Petition to hire Sandro on full time! Dude is hilarious and has great chemistry with the crew.

[@killaclownmcl1]

Oh man, a Real Mechanic Stuff episode with Angelina and Sandro? Yep my day is made!

[@najtrows]

My two favorite mechanics! I would love to see them in a Donut Media video doing some other stuff. Testing weird accessories or mechanic stuff.

[@NBSV1]

That 2nd 200 with the brake line had a low pressure compression fitting on it. Like what’s used for airlines or water lines. Only good for a couple hundred PSI. They make proper repair fittings for hard brake lines. But, it typically requires flaring the line.

[@DClark-zl8xb]

"Don't f**k with the brakes."... Words to live by.

[@whatdadogdoin7531]

You know it's a serious damage when Sandro doesn't wanna ride on it 🤣
