I fail to see the truck kid’s goal here. “This old guy threatened to go to his car to get a gun, so let me back over his car [further infuriating him] get my truck stuck in the process, and risk my family’s life like sitting ducks on his hood if he does produce the gun he says he has. Parking on the hood wouldn’t

I’m annoyed that they would go thru the all the work to compare these trucks, but didn’t do a true apples:apples comparison. I don’t think it would have changed the outcome much, but they should have gotten the same size trucks to race, not a quad cab vs extended cab. I’m sure there is some weight difference there.

I’ve got some beautiful oceanfront property I’d like to sell you too......

Ah Florida: Come for the easy retirement, stay for the wackiest news to happen around you!

I came to say this. I’ve done MANY average starters, but was surprised when i couldn’t instantly locate it on a Nissan Titan. Oh, of course, it is cradled in the V of the block, nicely underneath the intake manifold.

If you are a slick talker, you can do what my cousin in Miami did. After purchasing a new vehicle, he kept the temp tag (then his normal tag) on his passenger’s seat, and blew thru the $10/day tolls w/o a rear plate. He was pulled over 2 or 3 times by police for not having a tag on the back. He was always able to

I mean... Its Maaco. Got the quality he paid for. Hell, just the clearcoat material on an all-over paint job we use costs more than Maaco’s whole job. I wish we could have a follow up and see his car in 1 year, we can all enjoy the deterioration.

If anything i was hoping someone would call out the wheelbarrows being Lowe’s “Kobalt” brand.. I had no idea. I always assumed you purchase them rusted and rotted, painted brownish red.

.....I don’t understand how you missed the point of that sentence. “and he wasn’t going to dump the coins on the DMV’s floor, so he left the wheelbarrows there, bringing his expenses to $840"

Ah, Florida and our very angry old men. I guess the story of the “Toy-Yoda” would have been very different if that happened here too...

I agree with the first point, but not the comparison of the McD’s coffee situation. There are many well made videos about that coffee case, why it went as far as it did, and how the millions of dollars of payout are grossly exaggerated.

$900?! Lol thats probably around 2k of damage, thats a lovely tactic by insurance companies, same down here. They hope you will pocket the money and not repair the car, and will only pay the full damage amount to the repair facility. My SUV was stolen and damaged, original check they sent was 2900, final bill due

damn jeffy, you no care

Hey, i’m a collision/general mechanic, I like hearing peoples stories. That really sucks 200T. Here in FL, 95% of the time if an accident is in a parking lot, each driver is assumed half at fault. In those cases, no tickets are given, and each party has to file a claim with their own insurance, since ‘no one is
