Automobile Falling Off a Car Carrier

[jsschipp4]

boring

[MrPoet67]

lets see what happens when they open and shut the rear doors again, fair bit of stress on that door surround.

[dkchapss]

if its totaled why didnt u guys just lift on the back bumper lift up and to the right lol

[SuperPacman66]

"My daughter gonna luv her new car" :XD

[doug5790]

it's a bitch when copart loads it with a forklift and you don't have one to take it off.

[wilkesjournal]

Next video: Watching The Touch-Up Paint Dry.

[popacap29]

wow that was painful to watch those guy's recover that car with all the wrong gear, and walking between the car and the machine while it was pulling on the car. I was waiting for the car to come crashing down...I drive tow truck and could not believe what I was seeing....whats the name of that company so if I'm ever in that area and need a tow I know who not to call. oh and by the way, it's an import car there are tow hooks under the rear bumper safer and stronger to drag that car off.

[nationalisedmexican]

haha!! you know that when there is a fat old shirtless guy working on cars, there is something stupid waiting to happen!!!

[samwell224]

what in the redneck hell...?

[amokachi31]

they are really smart to lift the car from hits roof.

wait. are they?

[kreeperzulu4]

the cars already punched in the face who cares



[greek4life911]

omg!!!! all this time just to fuckin bring tha car down???...i would of start smackin people there!! just lift tha shit up from behind, place it on the ramps and drive tha bitch off of there man!!!....as far i can tell the engine should still work, tha damage in front is not tha bad!!!

[jersgarage]

how many morons does it take to lift and move a carover 2 ft. wtf.. the car all smashed already, just hook it a nd drag it off.

[jo4nny]

You should have sped this up to last about 30 seconds and added the Benny Hill song!

[yvettegr]

@jo4nny Haha. I just pulled the slider across really fast and imagined the Benny Hill song. Works for me.

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

funny thing is thats car will jus be sold ahahahaha

[dominic11t]

thumbs up if you love the guy with no shirt XD

[wduane2807]

That guy without a shirt is a dumbass to walk between the car and the tractor with the car being unstable. If it broke loose it would have come back and hit the tractor and he would have been crushed.

[junekentucky]

Why the hell didn't they come in from the right hand side, lift the rear of the car a few inches then back up the loader to line the wheels back up with the truck's ramp?

Sheesh, those loaders don't have any side movement on their buckets so unless you're going to completely unload the car with the bucket (stupid) you have to come in from the side.

Gah, idiots driving big equipment...

[jamesttripp]

i would of lifted the bumper and aligned the wheels

[yvettegr]

@jamesttripp Sounds like a good, practical idea.

[jamesttripp]

@yvettegr yah but would have had to replace the bumper tho but at least its not taking a chance with a rusty chain lol

[yvettegr]

@jamesttripp And since it was a totaled parts car replacing the bumper wasn't necessary. Your way probably would have been faster and safer.

[jamesttripp]

@yvettegr haha well thx ... im taking a class to be certified to teach young teens like me to do anything automotive... im 16 but i started learning at 5

[yvettegr]

@jamesttripp I'll tell you about one thing in life. If you can fix cars you will never lack for friends and you'll always be able to make a living. And teaching others is not only satisfying, but you'll learn as much as from them as they learn from you. And you'll be helping them find a path in life. What you're doing is noble.

[OKredneck]

@yvettegr

the rear bumper is plastic. You'll never get a hook around the metal reinforcement behind it. However, there is a tow hook UNDER the bumper, which they coould have very easily hooked a chain to, lifted it, straightened it, and dropped it.

[Abricos4440]

Russian truck driver is not afraid ...

[Forensource]

God, what a bunch of idiots these guys are. What if the car rolls off and in to traffic, they easily kill someone. And the guy in the shorts looks like a hardcore alky with the WC Fields nose.

[mikeys316]

First off WTF was the shirtless guy thinking walking between a unsteady vehicle supported by a rusty chain and nylon ratchet strap while it was being lifted? And then again why was a ratchet strap used in the first place? I understand the car is junk but if thats the case brab it by the rear axle much safer that way.

[yvettegr]

@mikeys316 Yours does seem like a better way of doing it. And I agree about walking between the vehicle. Seemed a very risky thing to do.

[levijonessheep]

Possibly the most boring video on YouTube

[yvettegr]

@levijonessheep And you've put up how many videos? Zero.

[levijonessheep]

@yvettegr

Correct! But at least I'm not putting shit like this up. YAWN!

[yvettegr]

@scorpo8900 Just curious how Carproof would know that. I found Carfax to be fairly useless.

[greenjeansmjr]

This video is 9:41 too long

[kidman1987]

its a front loader not a back hoe....

[DODGERAM1999]

fucking "MASS"holes lmao!!!!!!

[yvettegr]

@DODGERAM1999 Third person to use that term in correspondence with me today (not referring to me, of course). And all using it in a different context. Very weird.

[cfrat52]

That car was already wrecked, that's why it dropped off the ramps -- no steering. Rental companies send all their wrecked cars to south Florida, they're horrible to load, most have to be dragged on with a chain. Been there, done that. Pay is good, tho.

[yvettegr]

@cfrat52 Thank you for your perspective as someone who has actually done this.

[theian221]

ok really?? if the car is already totaled just yank it off and then push it back up.

[helipro555]

americans,always want the easy way out

[22afer]

твою мать, только тупые америкосы могут снимать стоящий на месте трактор в течение 10 минут, и выложить этот шедевр на ютуб!!!

[yvettegr]

@22afer @yvettegr I was standing across the street while I was videoing. I wasn't on a tractor.

[22afer]

а про чё кино то?

[yvettegr]

@22afer LOL. Yes, Che is next.

[TheHuskyGT]

Toyota Yaris FTW!!

[Artgallo]

you kept me watching for 10min? i thought it was gonna fall off the ramp lol

[WunderDoob]

I'm really not surprised these idiots managed to drive the car off the trailer sideways.

[bmarrero73]

the only way any accidents show u on carfax is if u take your car to the dealer to do the body work...most body shops will tell you that they dont report the accident to carfax so that the value of the car wont go down when you go to resell it....you are right in saying that carfax is a joke...as far as these guys unloading the car with a loader, i can only say that desperate times call for desperate measures...lol

[l337pwnage]

The unloading is pretty stupid, but the annotations aren't any better.

The smashed windshield could easily have been from an airbag, FYI.

If they are saving the car, that was not a good recovery, but its not like they are handling a new car.

If its a parts car, I would call that treating it with "kid gloves".

[popojose09]

Dear YouTube,

The Like/Dislike system, I can live with. I've gotten used to it now.

The new comment layout, fine with me.

But THIS, is just too much too take! The front page has completely lost it's organised, simple layout!

I don't know where you get your ideas, but I think I speak for a big part of the community when I say "YouTube, go F*ck yourself."

Give this a thumbs up and copy/paste it around!

[gstanz67]

Complete Idiots who are going to get seriously injured someday, or shot for fucking someones car up.......That car should have been lifted up onto the tracks and rolled off........they got lucky....dont quit your day jobs.....What? these ARE your day jobs?....Sucks to be you.

[tundralover]

i wonder if this incident is on carfax?

[yvettegr]

@tundralover Carfax is a joke. I had a car once that had been hit multiple times. However, each time the other insurance company had to pay for the repairs. At one point, out of curiosity, I did a carfax report about my car. Not one accident showed up on the report. Since the one-month fee I paid allowed me to look up other cars, I looked up the vin number on a previous car that had been totaled. Came up with a clean record. Looked up friends cars. No accidents showed up.

[tundralover]

@yvettegr its like that so you will buy the car and "boost" the economy ha ha its all bullshit anything like that is

[1mowen]

Sorry i'm a hella truck driver...crap at spelling...lol just wanted you to know about the diffrence in trucks..sorry about the double post as well..i'v been hauling cars for 7 years with my husband so kinda know what i'm talking about..have a good one :)

[yvettegr]

@1mowen Thank you I (and the erroneous websources) stand corrected and respect your expertise.

[1mowen]

@yvettegr sorry to dissapoint you but I drive a 10 car carrier and that is what that is the reason it looks to you like a toe truck is the back top deck is down...you can tell its a big truck because of how the tandems (back wheels) are set.the way they look boxed in by the truck...any questions and i'll email you a pic of the 10 car carrier I have been driving for the last 5 years... BTW a ramp tow truck is the ones you see with the flat beds ...also known as roll backs..

[1mowen]

[boardingpass04]

@1mowen lol do you use a loader and some straps thru the wondows to load your trailor to?

[SY1WEK]

NEW 2005 Toyota Echo, never involved in a accident, original paint, never lifted by a tractor.

We have Carfox to prove it !

[ssh5757575757]

good thing this car was already totaled the way they had it hooked was not good for the roof.It would probably have wind noise from now on

[Joseph9536]

Did that car have Florida plates?

[madness3612]

Car Transporter Trailer pulled by a Semi Truck =)

[ltz400k6]

I was sure it would do a flipover :-)

[Mr4runnerz]

THAT SUCKS!!

[brewzur]

not a ramp tow truck and not a backhoe!!!

[yvettegr]

@brewzur No one ever said it was a backhoe. However, it IS a ramp tow truck. Go to google and type RAMP TOW TRUCKS FOR SALE, or, at google select images and type RAMP TOW TRUCK. What you will see are thousands of photographs and references to trucks similar to the one in my video. After making the video the people in it called it a ramp tow truck. Manufacturers call it a ramp tow truck. It is a ramp tow truck.

[RReaper100]

@yvettegr yeah ya did say backhoe .

Quote from the video discription " And, also, it pays to have a back hoe loader at your disposal."

And its a transporter ,not a ramp tow truck , haha dont ya hate it when all your replies are users taking the piss out of you

[yvettegr]

@RReaper100 I did not say this truck was a backhoe. Read my comments in comtext. Did you even google ramp row truck? If you did you would find this is a ramp tow truck. Do some research. Sheesh. Look it up. Go to the manufacturers. I'll take the word of the manufacturer (who calls it a ram toe truck) over you. Grow up in your comments.

@yvettegr

I looked on Gogle for ramp tow truck. I got the message 'no matches found'. That is an auto transporter. Not a back hoe loader either.

[richoverip]

That's not a tow truck.. It's a car transporter.

[yvettegr]

@richoverip It is a "ramp tow truck." That's the actual name. A car transporter is the multi-car carrier you see bringing cars to dealerships. Go to google, select images, and type in ramp tow truck. What you will see are ramp tow trucks similar to the ones in this video.

[michaelovitch]

You copyright your video but what about the law in your country and the fact you are filming peoples( with or without authorization) in a public space ?

How does the law works for videoing something there ?

your video is not too long

The real life is not limited at 10 minutes.

[yvettegr]

@michaelovitch US law permits the videoing/filming of people in a public space without seeking their permission. The fact they are in a public space is tacit permission under US law. Also, I did talk with the people in this video afterwards and asked their permission, told them I was putting it on YouTube and wouldn't do it if they objected. They didn't care.

[michaelovitch]

@yvettegr

Ok thanks.

Here you can't film a private property or a private object or a person if it's focused on it only ,without permission.

You only can film public peoples (officials or movie stars) in their public life or duty in a public space.

I think the guys weren't too bad with this car

the safety was not very good but they did it quite well with non really proper tools

[michaelovitch]

i forgot !

don't care about the "too longs videos "

it's often more interesting to see complete events and their evolution

it allow to understand what and why.

[fuglyucker2468]

Well, thats one way to write a car off i guess. wouldn't have done the C pillars any good either.

[vivadangermouse]

too long; didn't watch

[yvettegr]

@vivadangermouse That's okay.

[yOiTsJp777]

WHY DIDNT THEY JUST PULL THE DAMN CAR OUT AND STOP STOPING EVERY DAMN SECOND!!!!!9 MINUTES COULD HAVE BEEN TURNED INOT LIKE 5 MINS!!...WOW

[theGHETTOMAN1]

haha Thanx for posting that!! ; D *thumbs up* what a bunch of monkies!! lol

[jayguy173]

just get a jack and jack that side up put some wood down and drive forward to strighten then back up

[yvettegr]

@jayguy173 The car wasn't drivable, displaced engine, bent frame, broken axles, etc.

[ievelen]

Its a toyota..

[Greg9942]

Why not just take it off with a forklift? Salvage dealers usually have one for moving cars around.

[mgospeed31]

Looks like a Toyota. Did the throttle stick wide open? lol

[yvettegr]

It was a Toyota. Poor Toyota owners. I have a Honda with which I'm very satisfied.

[mgospeed31]

The only Toyota I would even fathom driving would be the FJ Cruiser, and the only Honda I am really fond of is the Element. Too bad both of them (even used ones) are way out of my price range, lol!

[yvettegr]

I have a Honda Del Sol (I have a video up of it being towed after a crash). My second Del Sol. Great car. Used ones are probably in your price range. Great thing is they go forever, unless they're totaled (like my first one). My first Honda Del Sol had 405,000 miles on it and going strong. My current one is getting towards 300,000 miles. Same engine. Change the oil religiously every 3,000 miles, Mobil 1 synthetic.

[jack4373]

copy rights lol are you kidding and you think people will steal your video lol

[yvettegr]

My videos have been used in some commercial productions. So, yes, I do support copyright protection.

[jack4373]

looks like dumb and dumber

[hundanth]

Hey dumb ass that isn't a tow truck that's a car carrier for delivering cars not towing.

[yvettegr]

It is a ramp tow truck. So says the owners, so says the manufacturer. The word tow means to pull or to haul. In this instance it is hauling (towing) the automobile on the ramp. You might want to check your facts before posting comments like the above.

[elpancho305]

did i just really watch a 10 min video just to see the suspension get fucked up..

[yvettegr]

Yep, I think you did.

[7emanuele7]

very interesting how studid people can be...omg

[slimalex9]

sugooi!!! =D they have no idea how to do that. : D

But they made it!!! They're HEROES!!! YEEEY!!! Subarashi!!! XD

[yvettegr]

They improvised. But, I think the guy directing everything is really experienced in these matters and had been in the tow business for over 35 years. In this instance experience counts. He had no doubt he'd get the car off the ramp, safely. I talked with him afterwards.

[slimalex9]

-.- you're joking, right..? He wasn't improvising on someone's car! It's not music...He's just noob...for sure...

[yvettegr]

Well, it was his car. He bought it for parts. It's his auto body repair shop you see in the background and he was delivering it to himself. The car shifted while they were transporting it to the shop because something on the underside broke (an axel?). He was improvising, but from years of experience.

[slimalex9]

Wooo..! I'm impressed! :D You know everything about this guy. =D You must be his lawyer. Or....you are the guy in this video....But IF you're not, do you know that guy? Personally? o.O

[yvettegr]

I don't know the guy personally, but talked with him about five minutes after I finished videoing and learned what I needed to know about the automobile on the ramp, his experience, why he had the car, etc.

[windasman]

What the hell does it matter? Just from watching the video, I can tell that the car's been wrecked before-it's not going to get that kind of damage being transported in that manner, I've hauled a few cars in my day. Plus the LKQ truck in the background tips me off that it's a junkyard. Why be a smartass when you have no awareness of the situation?

[herbienbrian]

I wonder if the damage occured before or after it broke loose?

[yvettegr]

Before. This vehicle had been totaled in a car crash.

[6Camel6Finger6]

the should of put in reverse and drove it off - not like it would hurt the value

[6Camel6Finger6]

whats a suspension????lol

[jerdans]

somebody didnt eat there wheaties

[ibnekurdo]

great video.when u dumb life is harder.they broke the frame of the car they lifted the whole car.flatbed tow truck would do the job clean n easy.most truck driver has no education all ignorant cause crash all the time

[dirtturret]

A TOTAL HACK Job from Start to End! Monkeys would have offloaded it in a third the time given they each had their own football. Hey! Noticed that Your Magic Carp didn't perform any miracles ha ha ha . OK then how about the history of Magic Carp. Never hear of those before. But Horney Kinky Pig Skin Poking Monkeys have been around for E-ons? ions? yeons? Ahhhh help me somebody. If Dad and Uncle treated car like football a 5 minute job AHHHH HAAA HAA HAAAA

[r6fool]

It's like 3 monkeys trying to fuck a football.

Rediculous.

[CarpMagic95]

Its ridiculous by the way and not Rediculous as you spell it and maybe if you know the Monkeys in this video you can ask for spelling lessons. Oh also since when do monkeys try to fuck footballs? when does anything that's ever lived try to fuck a football? I mean what in hell have you been watching previous to this to come up with that? Your a weirdo.

[r6fool]

i'm guessing that the three guys are your Dad and 2 uncles?

also, "monkey trying to fuck a football" is an old addage, not my creation.

[yvettegr]

And what does the adage exact mean? I can get the imagery. But, where does it derive?

[TypeGdizzle]

if you're going to correct people, you should use proper grammer yourself. it should be ''you're a weirdo.''

[RANDOMATNESS]

fascinating! sure there is some physics there somewhere - 5 stars

[yvettegr]

That guy directing the operations sure knew what he was doing.l

[shaun01570]

wow i travle this road evey day im shocked i dient see it lol a lot of funny shit happens in town

[ERPC117]

lol;D

[DsmB2007]

Awesome video yvette!!

Cars are worth more in parts(if they're good) than for sale as a vehicle!! =)

5 stars!!

[yvettegr]

Cars are always worth more in parts. Someone estimated a brand new in the showroom $20,000 car would take $80,000 in parts to rebuilt it.

[dpaga1]

wtf happened to the car??!!??

lol

[yvettegr]

They put it around back at their shop and used it for parts. They have a lot of cars in their lot for parts. Also, the parts they couldn't immediately use, they sold through a huge computer network of repair shops. So, if anyone wanted a used bumper/fender/engine and the one from that car matched, then they could sell it. Recycling at its best. Better than just crushing a vehicle.

[yvettegr]

On rereading your comment I think you might mean what happened to the car in the first place. Head on crash. People injured, but not seriously. They weren't going fast. If they had been wearing their seatbelts they would have just walked away from the crash and had no injuries. Wear your seatbelt. It has saved my life often. Unfortunately, I've been hit by lots of cars.

[jakrueg2pbg]

Hello again!, Thanks for the Vid.,Your vids are usually better I'm goiing with 4- stars' ,well, Ok! five stars for suspence, Jeff

[yvettegr]

LOL. What could I have changed to make this one a real 5-star video for you? I really am interested in knowing what works and doesn't work. You can PM me privately if you have a lot of suggestions. I take criticism kindly. Have a great day. Your game looks interesting. Ever thought of marketing it at the Toy Fair (just happened in New York -- but next year).

[lloydhofer]

It certainly looked like imminent disaster loomed every second. Considering it was already a junker it mystifies me why they didn't just scoop up the back end with the bucket, chain the bucket to the rear axle then pull it off. Not being there it's easy to second guess. I'm glad no one got hurt in the process.

[yvettegr]

Even though it's a junker, the only really damaged parts were in the front. So, I think they wanted to protect everything else because it was all salvageable, from bumpers, axles, exhaust system, gas tank, lights, etc. Even the tires and hub caps looked good. Probably paid $1000 for it, with care probably $15,000 in salvage parts.

[Wugaaa]

nice video. You make some very good videos. A youtube STAR!!!!!!! lol

[yvettegr]

LOL indeed. But, thanks for the extreme compliment. Maybe I should put up my walk around Fenway Park right before a world series game a couple of years ago (which I went to)? Go Sox! This year'll be the year. Spring training has started.

[physicowhiteboy]

nice vid

keep up the good work

[yvettegr]

Thank you, and I'll try.
