That’s not America’s favorite game show… That’s Wheel of Misfortune!

What’s your EV sound like when it’s spewing obnoxious smoke and unstoppable flames into the atmosphere because you are trying to save the climate??

It has all become pathetic shit. My grandmother could drive any car known to man. Timing on the steering ring, hand crank, column shift, non-synchronized, somewhat synchronized, fully synchronized…
Oh well. Don’t ask me what I think of you — I might not give the answer that you want me to.

The Van Halen one was spot-on!

That ac compressor and alternator that seized up…expensive fix! We had a Buick long ago that had an alternator fail.
That car must have been starting hard and/ or stalling for a long time. Probably had to have a new battery too.
I still long after my first car. A 1968 Cougar XR7 with a 302.
Some of these people must beat on their vehicles.

Awful lot of Fords and GMs in there…

EV customer states: my vehicle makes a bonfire noise, and it’s hot.

I got a good laugh out of those.

I was a kid pumping gas for a summer job. A woman pulls in saying her car is behaving strangely and making a lot of noise. I tell her I’m not a mechanic but I work on my own car and I’ll take a look. I tell her to shut it off.she says, I already did. It’s roaring like a locomotive. I lift the hood and see something I’ve never seen before. Her radiator cap was vibrating so violently it’s a blur. I’m not touching it.
I direct her to the diner next door for coffee while the car cools down. Turns out she’s got about a cup of coolant left in the radiator. I fill it with water/antifreeze mix and tell her to find a real mechanic.

My truck sounds like an empty bank account.

Well, my EV car doesn’t make any sounds at all…because I can’t find a ?%!@%$# charging station!

Thanks for the laughs.
It’s unfortunate for some of the car owners that they have serious problems.
But most could have been avoided if they had gone to the mechanic when the noise started out as a squeak, rattle, thump or vibration, rather than turning up the volume on their radio and continuing to drive.
That honda civic pulling out of the garage was going up and down as the wheel turned. Probably a mangled CV joint or bent front axle. He said they hit a curb.

When I was a teenager, Roger Miller pulls into the parking lot of the supermarket I worked at. He was driving a brand new Continental Mark whatever, and it was billowing smoke from under the hood. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran out there, and had him pop the hood. No fire, just defective hose spraying PS fluid all over the exhaust manifold. He never said so much as “thank you”, but he was pissed, and I don’t blame him. Six grand was a lot of money for a POS back then.

Tony R – Today a Lincoln is just a Ford with lockwashers…

It’s probably a bad flux capacitor….

Did you see that new Ford truck?
It’s got a built-in seat on the tailgate, presumably so you don’t have to wait for the tow truck in a hot cab.

Hey Mechanic, my car sounds like Joe Biden at a British cocktail reception….

Hey, mechanic. My rear end is going “Whomp, whomp, whomp.”
No, not my car’s.
I’m getting screwed over by Joe ‘s Bidenomics!

Jethro, only 750 mil for a turbo encabulator and that’s not with all the cost overruns. The guy must have been a sociologist with his other job to have talked all that gibberish as if he knew what it meant.
Joe Biden humping Dr. Jill.

That one really loud and smokey engine was probably a bad Turbo Encabulator…
