Customer states," There is a blue light on the dash. "
There's no hope for some folks, is there?

That is just freaky scary that those people are driving total pieces of junk on the road, and that many of them have kids and they vote!

I haven't watched this specific video, but I've watched a bunch of these videos. Some of them are hilarious, some are sad, and some are really scary.

This one had be laugh out loud a couple of times. The bedazzled car was hysterical. It is covered in the fake jewels inside and out.

I’ve been writing Service Records for nearly 30 years. I never ever, not once, began with “Customer states…”

Mine usually begin with “Customer reported…”. Or Physician, Technologist, maybe Site Manager. But never “states”.

The former just sounds off. Wrong tense, poor grammar or something. It just sounds lazy.

Maybe cuz mine are reviewed by the FDA. 🤪

Yeah, I finally watched this one, and it did have some very impressive stuff.

Houston has an "art car" parade that is usually about half full of cars that are covered inside and out in stuff, so that one wasn't that weird or surprising.

The moldy Bentley and moldy taxi!

Some of the maintenance, repairs, modifications, made by owners!

Go to Riddit and search for the "Just Rolled into the Shop" sub-Reddit. Lot of good ones there.

LOL. Pretty sure that FL doesn't have the market cornered on nutters. The difference is that FL policy allows broadcast of all idiocy.

Not directly related but the wheel falling off helps it qualify for this thread.

Wow, that does look like something from a movie. I hope the pickup driver has good insurance. And lots of tickets for poor vehicle safety. The wheel must have been making some horrid noises the driver ignored.

Long ago I had removed a wheel and forgot to torque the lug nuts down. I went for a drive and before I was a block away I heard horrible noises. I turned around ad remembered I had faild to torque the lugs bolts down. Since then I put the torque wrench in the driver seat at the start of the project. I can't forget when I have to move it to drive the car.

I read the wheel studs broke on the pick up truck.
