  1. I was thinking the same thing until he addressed it at the end of the video.

  2. Ilyas Gyi No, but the previous owner of a salvage car is mighty pissed when the insurance co. totals a car, has someone else fix it up and then sells it to someone else. Why total the car if they're gonna fix it anyway? It happened to a Dodge Daytona my brother owned, too.

  3. 6:44 I recall you had to buy a second part for the first DXP rebuild: the latch for the pizza oven door. :)

  4. Jeff Becker Flood cars have mold, that's why. Mold in HVAC ducts, seat fabrics and cushions, carpeting, and headliner. Can you say Biohazard? I knew you could. :)

  5. Christina Andwena Ah.

  6. Is there a way to install a nitrous gauge in the cabin?

  7. Matthew Matthewq UPS owns or leases its fleet vehicles. Not so with Domino's, it's their franchisees who own them.

  8. Leaf springs on a C6 Corvette front end?

  9. Alisdair Herd Modern front ends use MacPherson struts, that's why I'm surprised to see front leaf springs in the 2010s.

  10. Great how to video on Copart Sam. :)

  11. No Name Ned He mentioned the car auction site in the first video.

  12. No Name Ned OK. I think it came from Indiana, and that is also in the first video. (Confirmed; from Indianapolis.)

  13. Slap_A_Gamer [CTIRE] It's possible that the contacts in that combo turn signal/cruise/wiper/high beam/flasher switch are short circuiting, and the switch needs to be replaced. I have a GM vehicle also in need of a new combo switch, but mine turns high beams on when signaling right turns. LOL

  14. This is going to be fun to watch. ;)

  15. I thought prostitution was illegal in Clark County, NV where LV is... :?

  16. Wowsers! Thank you Sam for alerting everyone about the Tesla missing batteries.

  17. What a piss-poor excuse for a company. :((((( Go get 'Em Sam!

  18. Jimmy Grant Those metal-braided hoses are for high-pressure. And those 3/8" hoses are rated for fuel injection systems (where the 1/4" ones are for vapor lines only).

  19. Another great video on the worlds of Copart and DXP. Those jumper boxes are nice, but my family's cars are 3.4, 4.3 and 5.7L, so they don't have enough juice. :( I have to resort to jump starts or trickle chargers. The trickle charger I got in February works very well.

  20. Somebody needs to remind them about Fair Use (17 USC ยง107). This definitely qualifies.
    2
  21. dentistguba Probably not. The insurance company totaled the car, and they dictate what happens next. Neither PIZZA COMPANY nor their franchisee has a say there, since car is no longer drivable.
    2
  22. Matt Lane I disagree. The typical owner is not given that option for a total where it's not drivable, and auctions may not have been a viable option for the ins. co. years ago, it can be now.
    2
  23. Devin Shillington Not as ANNOYING as reading misspelled words. LOL Besides not everyone knew knows how to format words here.

  24. You're right Sam, that was some super crazy shit. Merry Christmas!

  25. Hotrodelectric The Spark shop manual will tell him that.

  26. Kristopher McDaniel He'd have to do a brake and suspension upgrade too, to handle that engine. (So says the article you linked here!)
    2
  27. Kristopher McDaniel He's not Mike Brewer or Chip Foose, either.

  28. It's always something.

  29. Bumper Brian A can of Edge and those razors will fix him right up. ;)
    2
  30. John Davis Any coolant or oil sludges if exhaust gases penetrate that head gasket.
    2
  31. GM's quality dropped off big time in the 2000s. :(
    2
  32. San Man And the first thing Chip Foose fills in when doing restomods. ;)
    2
  33. San Man Few are. :) Sam Foose and Boyd Coddington were that good.

  34. Blaine Headrick I got a Harbor Freight multi-page specials catalog yesterday. :)

  35. Way to go Sam! Cowz sponsored by Chick-fil-A, who advise us to Eat Mor Chikn. LOL

  36. Samcrac Thought not. Good luck getting your other cars fixed. We've had a winter of GM discontent. One needing an engine gasket fix, #2 a distributor cap and rotor, and the third a wiper transmission linkage

  37. 19:12 The sound of relief. :)
    2
  38. The Real One ...and detail products, too.
    2
  39. Paul Levy I assume he did, he just had the overflow tube outlet plugged, since the overflow bottle is on the list of parts yet to be installed in the engine bay.

  40. My sister and her oldest son both could use one. Not to mention me, my base level Innova code scanner doesn't do live data.
    2
  41. Samcrac Have you seen their new Zurich line of code readers? Slightly redesigned Innovas with the same firmwares. :)
    2
  42. Mr. Aldrich The Zurich is the same thing with a different faceplate. ;)

  43. I had nothing from Migos in my watch history, yet there was a period of time a few months ago where YT kept putting his cRap in my recommendations... I don't remember how many times I had to tell them I wasn't interested before the algorithm finally got the message.
    2
  44. Quix At far far less than its worth, too.
    2
  45. Why The part lot wanted to make more $$$ from parting it out than reselling the whole car.
    2
  46. Oscar TV GM's Vehicle Parts Identification sticker on the glove box door tells what color codes and pre-Rousch options were used on the car. (They used to call them identiplates and rivet them in the engine bay.)
    2
  47. Manc Correct. The color code tells what shade of white.
    2
  48. It's always something. Just when you think you've got it down...
    2
  49. Get the Wheeler Dealers to do the fixing! Mike & Ant would have fun with this Spark. ;)
