For many, a badass car straight outta the salon seems like a dream. But whether your ride is one rustic yet still functional boi, or the one that gets more eyes set on it than you've ever had in your entire life, the same rule applies—you gotta take care of it. And this latter part is the one that doesn’t exactly spark too much joy.
The inevitable occurs. Preventable things happen. No surprise that surprises occur. All roads lead to car repair and hey, that’s where it gets entertaining. Thanks to the r/Justrolledintotheshop subreddit, we have the most eyebrow-raising compilation of all the crazy things people bring for car mechanics to take care of it. And you wouldn’t believe how many furballs they find in those dusty engines!
Psst! Make sure to check out our previous articles on crazy stuff car mechanics deal with at their shops that you can find here and here.
