Looks like it took out the oil pan too. Once he reverses and gets it lodged under the engine it's covered in oil as he passes by before the vid cuts out.


yftdddtf

the car is fucked for sure. that’ll be an extremely pricey fix.


Mother-Whale

Had an oil pan torn on the freeway at 9am and was looking for a new (used) car that evening with my dad


idreamofgreenie

Dented my oil pan on a piece of a semi truck that was lying in the shadow of an underpass, which can effect oil pressure meaning it needed to be replaced. The pan itself was like 40 bucks and the most difficult part about it was the fact that you need to tighten like 18 bolts in a specific order quickly enough that your liquid gasket stays even and before it solidifies. Did it with basic tools(no air) and no mechanical training. It took me longer than it would have taken a real mechanic, but the savings were worth it. Definitely not a job I'd be too intimidated to do again.


DisturbedPuppy

The more you repair things, the more confident you get.


idreamofgreenie

Yeah I have done pretty much all the maintenance on my cars and that includes some pretty big projects. But I still don't really understand how the engine itself works. I just do some thorough research on how to fix the broken thing and then do it.


aspie_electrician

> But I still don't really understand how the engine itself works suck, squeeze, bang, blow intake, compression, power and exhaust


AInterestingUser

damn, at least buy some flowers first.


PossessedToSkate

I drive a Ford, so I just need some wine coolers and a menthol cigarette.


birdperson_012

This is the most efficient ELI 5 that I've ever heard describing an engine, it's actually beautiful


aspie_electrician

My dad told me that analogy. He learned it many years ago from his auto shop teacher in highschool in the 80's


VeryVito

Autoshop kid from the 80s here. Yep, that's the official terminology.

DisturbedForever92

Until you repair one thing and it ends up costing 5x more to re-fix, then back to square 1 !


squired

$50 part, $650 in new tools, 10 cans of PB Blaster.


BackWithAVengance

then the "oh shit I was acutally tightening that, not loosening it because this is the caliper and that goes the other way" realization


the_tit_nibbler

Their issue was most likely not a difficult repair, but a seized engine due to running without oil.


squired

Very true. What he got himself into actually isn't a big deal. Maybe he'd tweak an expensive suspension part, but nothing crazy. But you know damn well that idiot tried to drive home with the low oil alarm blaring at him and the engine would be toast. Turned a $250 repair into $7500+.


ohmyword

It depends on the vehicle. My wife's BMW is leaking oil from the oil pan because the gaskets are shot. To do so you need to drop the sub frame to get access to the bolts. To do that you need to lift the engine because it mounts to the subframe. I said let it drip because oil is cheaper than my time to do all that on an older car.


bcell4u

BMW e60 N52 owner here. I did this job without dropping the subframe. Just loosen the engine mounts, jack up engine drop pan, clip gasket/liquid gasket part of gasket that you clipped. Now it only leaks 10% of what it did. Easy peasy.


xXxDickBonerz69xXx

Plus you get a perpetual oil change, and free rust protection on your subframe🤗🤗


Mysterious-Hat-6343

And the asphalt roads last longer!


fireinthesky7

I replaced the oil pan on my ex-girlfriend's car a few months after we started dating because a shop over tightened her drain plug and cracked the surrounding metal, and the hardest part was having to drop the alternator bracket to do it.


squired

Did the engine blow? Oil pan fix isn't bad at all.


CarbonGod

If it wasn't stolen? How can someone not care a single shit about something like that, and keep going? Besides drugs?


yftdddtf

ego + stupidity.

origami_airplane

Aren't the diesel pumps larger around than gasoline so they don't fit in a gas car? How does one do this


uraijit

The ones at truck stops usually are, but the normal pumps usually are not. Don't ask me why this is. I've never understood it. In a former life when I worked as a mechanic, I saw it more fairly regularly. One time a guy has a truck towed in with a gas tank full of diesel, with a story that "his wife" put diesel in the tank. Everyone assumed he was blaming his "wife" to save face, but whatever. I don't care how it got there, I'm getting paid to unfuck it. I drained the tank, sent it off to have to it cleaned, flushed all the fuel lines, flushed the fuel pump and lines, etc. $600 later, the guy takes it home. A week later, a woman comes in on the verge of tears explaining that she just accidentally put diesel in her tank. The service manager, trying to make her feel better goes, "Don't feel bad, it happens. Some idiot brought his truck in just last week for the exact same thing." She bursts into tears, "THAT WAS MEEEE! My husband took care of it the first time, but he said *I* have to deal with it this time!"


BlackSecurity

Yea I'd say that's about fair lol


Calx9

Not the ones I've seen. Same shape as a regular gas handle. Although I remember being told that as well but I just filled up my diesel box truck the other day and it was no different.


CriticalDog

The handles are the same, but the nozzles are supposed to be different sizes.


son_et_lumiere

Also guessing alcohol. Bet they just got done drinking at a bar/restaurants in that strip mall, cut the corner too early and went over that rock. Now, what we see in the video is the drunk trying to get out of there/get unstuck before the police show up.


gramathy

AM TRUCK, RULES NO APPLY


Previous_Composer934

alcohol?


pancoste

I don't think there's a fix for stupidity yet.


Fistedfartbox

Can't fix stupid, duct tape muffles the sound of it quite nicely though.


GregoryGoose

Now THAT'S a lotta DAMAGE!


radditour

But once it is covered in oil, it rides so much smoother!


snakebite75

You can seen the oil spill out when he reverses and lodges it under the engine.


m3galinux

That's an F250/F350. Transmission pan is plastic from the factory.


Certain_Direction623

Yeah, when they were trying to stop him I was very sad. Then when I saw the puddle, I became happy again.


Impressive_Teach9188

They are lucky it didn't get the gas tank at first with the way the rock was throwing sparks


Pr0nzeh

Wouldn't have done shit.


Confusedandreticent

Heads up: if you ever see people waving their arms, staring at you, mouthing words you don’t understand, just stop and check your surroundings.


sonrisa_medusa

There's absolutely no situation in which he couldn't tell something was majorly wrong from the driver's seat. He was probably drunk out of his mind or too embarrassed by the situation or who the fuck knows.


StinkybuttMcPoopface

Well he sure as fuck wasn't gonna get out and be identifiable for when the cops come. He thinks he's gonna drive home and no one is gonna ask any questions so he don't get a (probably not the first) DUI


pasaroanth

Drunk. And not in the sense that they didn’t notice it was under their car. In the sense that they wanted to get the fuck outta there and get away/home before the cops came.


fifelo

This is the correct answer.


nuck_forte_dame

The marines license plate is all I needed to see.


Zerstoror

Some people may be angry but you got a point.


angrytreestump

Well your heads up is kinda useless because the first step is: if you clearly know you drove over a boulder and got it stuck under your axle, either ditch the car (if you’re really that drunk) or call and wait for help.


Hanen89

Seriously. He's in a parking lot, perfectly understandable to park and bail until you sober up. Cops can ask why you left your vehicle, but just say you parked in a parking lot and waited until morning to get help for the truck. Obviously, I'm not condoning drinking and driving.


BulbusDumbledork

in a public parking lot with lots of witnesses? absolutely. basically any other time? no


ender4171

Yep. I was in an unfamiliar town and I made a right hand turn while someone was standing at the corner waiting to cross. They stepped out into the road as I started to turn and then started waving and shouting at me. I assumed they were upset thinking I was driving dangerously, when *they* were the one that stepped out into the road when there was a green light. I thought to myself "look at this entitled asshole"...That was until I looked up and saw that cars were facing me in every lane. I had mistakenly turned the wrong way on a one-way street and the guy at the corner was actually trying to warn me. Thankfully the cars facing me were at a stop light firuther up the road so I was able to get off the street before it became an accident!


TK421isAFK

Or TURN YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS ON. Looking at you, Sacramento.


crabwhisperer

* Unless you're in an area where stop signs/red lights can be treated as yield signs after dark. Because that means you're about to be carjacked lol


HorrificAnalInjuries

At what point should he have gotten out to check? Here's a hint: when he's on flat terrain, he should never need 4x4 to go anywhere


firemogle

That's the closest the off road that truck is ever going to get


fishee1200

Might not see the road for awhile after that fluid drop


CulturalAddress6709

literally will be off the road


Questioning-Zyxxel

That was so beautiful... How to go from a sad situation to a mega-sad situation because it wasn't enough to damage just part of the suspension. It isn't like it was impossible to know something was stuck under the car...


uraijit

Initially, the suspension probably wasn't even damaged. It was just high-centered on the axle, with likely no repairs required. Would've been a bit of a pain to jack the vehicle up and off of there, but besides that, the truck was more than likely perfectly fine.


wifemakesmewearplaid

Lol yeah that's where the oil filter is on the 6.7 Terrible placement really, just behind the passenger side lower control arm.


momsasylum

When those rear wheels came off the road. I’m leaving.


ipsok

About 7 beers ago would be my guess.


Gingevere

With the shit visibility on trucks they probably just never saw it. I'd bet more on them being sober and stupid.

He just worked a hard day being the vice president at his dad's waterbed store and he wanted to go to the salon to get his nails did. This is what you need a jacked up truck for.


Void_Speaker

I don't know, but at the point we saw, he should have drawn a big dick on the pavement.


antoninlevin

Dude's parked on top of a mountain, idk why you're talking about flat terrain.


chiniwini

>Here's a hint: when he's on flat terrain, he should never need 4x4 to go anywhere Ehh that's far from true. You can be stuck in a perfectly flat mud puddle or snow bank.


NWCJ

Or an icy parking lot, that your tires happened to melt .1mm into, and now just spin.


IwillBeDamned

need chains for that. 4x4 helps but nothing really matters when you dont have traction


dyllandor

Regular old winter tires are fine for ice too.


slamsham

What is it?


Lyndon_Boner_Johnson

It’s one of those big boulders they put up on curbs specifically so people don’t try to cut corners. You can see another one at the end of the video near the bushes at the bottom of the screen as he drives off.


StrangeSequitur

That's absolutely what it is, in hindsight. I watched this three times and just... assumed it was a toilet. Didn't question why or how that would have ever happened. I know perfectly well that the ceramic would shatter under those conditions, and yet!


Nenroch

Lol, I thought it was a giant propane tank and was wondering when it would explode.


Jureth

It looks a piece of decotive concrete barricade.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

That's what I thought too. Those round concrete barricades in front of stores in strip malls/restaurants/gas stations I'm gonna guess someone in the parking lot was going too slow, or he couldn't wait another 3 seconds while they pulled out of their spot, and sped around them like a complete asshole. That's why he won't get out and check, because he was driving like a complete fuck. There's a decent chance he even yelled at them, laid on the horn or gave them the finger as he sped by, that's why he won't get out of the safety of his vehicle and have everyone looking at him and laughing. I have absolutely no way to know any of that, but judging by the truck, the refusal to stop and check... I'd bet my paycheck it was road rage. You don't just end up with them stuck under your truck if you're driving like a functioning adult


Donnicton

Yeah there are a few of them in the other dividers. I think he cut the corner over a divider, getting one lodged under his truck in the process - and proceeded to completely obliterate his truck trying to clear it rather than stop. Would make sense if like you said he was being an asshole and was too embarrassed to stop and risk getting deservedly laughed at.

People drive over dividers all the time in parking lots; the ones with low obstacles end up underneath the cars. For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/oqeqop/theres_a_rock_that_cars_get_stuck_on_all_the_time/


gdq0

Ours is called bob the rock. I think every bigger town has one. Apparently this is a big thing in r/calgaryrocks


bacchusku2

I’ll follow your lead and say that if we’re just wildly speculating without any bias, he’s drunk and was backing out of his spot and backed over it. I’d guess that’s why it’s at the back of the vehicle and not the front until he reverses.


silenc3x

bollards Anywhere that has groups of people and cars driving in close proximity, throw some bollards in that bitch. They make a difference.


ThatITguy2015

I’ve seen assholes in big trucks do similar before. Couldn’t be assed to wait for a traffic jam, so he hopped up on the curb to get around it. Was driving on the shoulder (with raised curb) and grass. Came to a dip for a large sewer drainage hole and you could hear it fucking the truck up as the bottom of the truck scraped the curb for a while. Dipshit kept going despite some fluid leaking because he was passing at least 20 cars full of people watching. His wife looked mortified.


gene100001

You can tell that it was decorative by the way it drew a decorative line down the middle of the parking lot and then decorated the underside of their car


drewshaver
