Someone Smashed into my Car! It was already totaled once….*Hit & Run*

1. Theres places that could fix that wheel.

2. Yank the Jetta motor/transmission, remove all the glass, then have it crushed into a square cube and use as a coffee table or work bench.

3. Adam Sandler

4. Just wondering why you didn't send the bent 'Vette rim to be straightened? They can really make them like new again and they run true and balance fine.

5. Pound that lug out from the other side

6. That car has bad juju.

7. It's great to know you can just hammer a socket onto your locking wheel nut then just unwind it, just like that!

8. most stores have cameras get that hit and run bum

9. get stuck bolts in your sockets take a rod or screwdriver and hammer that bolt right out

10. how do you not have a lift already samcrac

11. the door electrical harness is different on a GLI. Run the VIN for a JEtta SE and GLI — i m pretty sure it will be 2 different part numbers. Also MK5 and some MK6 jettas/Rabbits/GTIs had a problem with harnesses being pinched causing some issues. ( good luck with this car unless it is sold)

12. Heat up the socket to remove the nut.

13. Hop You took the older Goodyear supercar tires with You and sold them in the Bay or somewhere!?

    Cause that's what the shop will do.

14. i think you should set that money pit jetta on fire, jkjk

15. Some advice to get the lug out of that socket, thread the lug back onto the stud a couple threads, then get a hammer and hit the socket back and forth and it’ll come right off

16. Lol money pit keeps getting deeper

17. Its minor.You can definetely fix that man…

18. did….did you just use a torque wrench as a breaker bar?

19. When you own a German car, expect expensive repairs, both for parts and labor. They drive nice and ride nice, but when they break, be ready to dig deep.

20. *PRO TIP* don't break torque with a ratchet! Use a breaker bar!

21. Where's that tire shop located?

22. Rename this video to…. why wheels locks are stupid. lol

23. Poor Jetta! I was going to buy one of those, used, but b/c of my (now) ex's whining, wound up with a lease (that I lost in early 2017) on a 2014 Passat. Miss my VW (in part b/c my "new" car is even more boring than my base model Passat was).

24. My neighbour she's a crackhead could have chewed all four nuts off in 30secs for 10

25. Just go to a you-pull-it junkyard get the parts you need, maybe even find them in black, throw them on there and call it a driver. I used to have an old friend (rip) who was a Jewish car salesman. He said "These things ain't Rembrandts, they don't go up in value."

26. Take it to Carmax and sell it.

27. Exactly the same as what happened to my dads car and the women who hit it said that it has "No damage" on it.

28. Cops don't give a shit especially if it didn't happen on the road sadly….

29. If you put the sockets in a vice you should be able to knock the nuts out through the drive hole with a punch

30. I think I’ve hit every neighbors car of mine. They all stopped parking in front of my house. I’m the only person in a 4 mile radius that has a ten car drive way in San Francisco!

31. yikes on mismatch tires for front and rear

32. Man that wheel was jacked! The difference had to be HUGE!

33. Are you correcting for tq steer or does the vette need to be aligned?

34. I had some annoying lugs and no key tool to get them off. Took the car to Discount Tire and they got them off and replaced them with normal lugs all for free.

35. Thats the result of some guy with a screw loose who probably hasnt made it in life and drives a beaten up piece of shit. So he goes around looking for nice cars in lots with no cctv then on purposely drives along the side of them because he is jealous and sad.

36. And you just showed proof that there is no point wasting money on locking wheel lug nuts

37. I would invest in a wheel locknut removal kit

38. Copart the car. Jetta needs more work. Save the money for another car.

39. Fix/ finish the Jetta!

40. Awkward moment when you meet at my bank I go to…

41. that VW is a boat, time to junk it out for parts

    some cars are just unlucky

42. Can you do a driveway and barn lol tour please?

43. One easy method I've found for removing "secure" lug nuts when you don't have the key is to use a dremel. Just slice 2 sides off a bit so they're flat and a good pair of locking pliers will grab hold. 5 minutes tops and you're good to go. Use a standard metal grinding/cutting disc (at about a 20 degree angle off the sides of the lug nuts – that way it fits into the socket indention in the wheel and doesn't chew up the rim), nothing fancy necessary for lug nuts – they're just normal steel.
