Mechanic Reacts to Cars vs Nature 

The car is better than standing outside. What's safest is going indoors, not staying in the car.

Faraday cage, thought that was obvious

@@VirginiaBronsonno in a car your safer because of faradays cage, the lightning can’t get to you while if your in your house near metal or water your in danger and lightning can set your house on fire

@@Donuts_random_stuff that applies only if lightning is the biggest risk. Often high winds, hail, and occasional tornadoes are also a risk of strong storms. Better to be in the house or a store, not in the car during a strong storm

Was just coming here to say that. Thanks.

Definitely final form energy

Paul is the goat 🐐

hes like the Macheté Vin Diesel

Exactly bro

Word...

Hello??? How is no one else talking about how your car(s) got struck by lightning THREE times?! What kind of car? How does one get so unlucky?

​@@CatManDax my guess is bud pissed off Zeus. 😅😂

Did you see the one that happened this year in I believe Louisiana? 150+ cars. On a bridge above water at that.

I ride a lot, I know where every single one is

And if there's 2 lanes, stay in the more center-lane because I noticed the lanes on the side usually get more potholes & dips. Sincerely, Z on race suspension lol

i hit the same pothole on m6 every single workday.

Haha me too

Word

its time for the RU-vid And Eat segment of the day

Lunchtime

Same!

And the other mechanics critic their rides.

Mechanics always ride a shit car.

90% sure most of them ride some absolutely boring, easy to repair cars

Yes

⁠@@TheWinjinand we GOTTA see what those cars are

Red foglights (at rear) are mandatory in EU.

Good knowledge? He would loose a chess game against a potato!

THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA!!! DONUT MAKE IT HAPPEN I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH THAT

I would LOVE to see that

YESSSSS

Came here to say the same thing

Not a Faraday cage by definition. But your heading in the right direction of thought.

The other important rule is not to touch anything metal in your car, as it is conducting and shunting those millions of volts around you. As for tires, if electricity can ionize air, which is less conductive than rubber - well, you know.

​@@caseycooper5615Actually, electricity stays on the outer shell of a Faraday cage. So you're good to go so long as you're not resting you're arm out the window during the thunderstorm!

You don't use your hazards when your car is moving. Just turn your regular lights on

@@jonathansmith7306 you're required by law to turn on your hazzards when going 15 m.p.h. under the posted speed limit.

@@ProthoPectore that too, but it's just a courtesy to other motorists even though it's not in the books. Street smarts

@@909lizardman i used to be a habitual speeder. i've had to take my points test twice. it's in the Pennsylvania how to drive manual, not just a courtesy.

​@@ProthoPectore @909lizardman California law (where the Grapevine and Cajon are) prohibits driving with hazards on ESPECIALLY in Killer fog. It's low beams or low beams AND fog lights. Hazards reflect in the fog and can look bigger than they are which can throw off other drivers because they will break inappropriately thinking there is a stopped vehicle or a work vehicle in the road. It's on the dmv website and I'm speaking as someone who lives on the central coast just south of SF where killer fog is notorious

+1 for Faraday cage.

I do just because I love watching him get roasted in the comments 🤣

He’s so universally disliked it’s crazy - even James just seems uncomfy around him lol. He creeped him out with the murder comment 😂

What is this referencing?

​@@supremecai5857look back any videos on the channel where it's "tow truck drivers react to..." One of the guys is a legit dude just trying to make a living. The other one is named "November." He's an actor, reading lines from the real guy who doesn't want to show his face on camera, because he's a POS who openly admits to breaking the law because he can get away with it.

​@@supremecai5857They had another episode of this with a "mechanic" named November. Pretty much every comment on that video is about how said mechanic seems creepy or sleazy and that people hated him, as well as that he seemed to make James uncomfortable. But I'm pretty sure it's just some sort of bad joke by Donut as some kind of "satire" or inside joke. It seems most likely that it was just a character, not a real mechanic.

This is absolutely true!!

This guy implying The D could create anything else? :0

James' formula is one part Tenacious D, two parts Initial D.

May I ask what area I be on 45 and see the same

I remember being on the freeway when rain came rather suddenly. I slowed down to 50Kph because the rain was really something (visibility was as bad as the fog at 10:45 in the video) and yet people zoomed past me. And for added bonus, a doofus in front of me was driving a gray car, ALL LIGHTS OFF. Seriously. And on top of that, he slowed down by letting go of the gas, so every now and then I would see his rear appearing through the rain and I would have to slow down without hitting the brakes by reflex. Of course it was a loooong stretch of freeway without anywhere to stop, so by the time I reached a gas station to stop, rain got more reasonnable. One of the longest hour I ever spent on a freeway.

Yeah. "Can't avoid em" lol excuse me? Maybe something can catch you by surprise but if you keep your eyes on the road, stay a reasonable distance from the car in front and avoid suspicious puddles you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and that's not just pothole damage.

I wish they would make a short video explaining how this happened in the first place, and confirm for us that they will do better going forward.

​@@zappabeefheart3433What happened?

@@jonathansmith7306 one of their "repo men" turned out to be an actor and not a tow truck driver or repo man, just playing one on this channel. His name on the show is November. It would be nice to know if he fooled them or if they just straight up hired an actor and lied about it. I can only speak for myself, but it made me wonder how much of the show is fake after that.

Matts Off Road Recovery guest starring was the highlight of my summer so far.

I highly doubt that

@mildly_miffed_man1414 It is true. Tesla's float and don't get water in them easily. There is a video of one driving in deep water on the road and it's floating and the driver puts full power in the accelerator and it's moving

who the fuck is Dustin??? You mean Justin? And nah, Jeremiah and Sandro are a better combo.

This. And the softer eroded base soil pack on the right side of city roads also incurs the most traffic from heavy vehicles: City Busses running their stop-n-go driving all day long, garbage trucks, big rigs and haulers etc.,

@@iviui2d3i2 true that. Good points

Yeah. I'm more of a July/August kinda guy myself.

@@anothergamingchannel2656 October!

He was an actor my guy

@@maixonmaxfull yeah why have an actor? Have the real deal

25ft is still pretty light

@@TheRedneckAtheist Not for Tulsa. It was the heaviest I've experienced in my 30+ years here. I know places like San Francisco can have it worse but for this part of the country it's not common at all.

Donut's Sponsored Segments are some of the funniest on the Tube. Much better than just sitting in front of a camera looking bored. Keep it up Donut Crew!

@matt_acton-varian oh those sponsored videos are the best I've seen on donut compared to other channels. Still kinda annoying paying for the premium and still get a "commercial/ad" Last time I looked for time of ad's skipped by premium is like some 1000+ hours now. Plus the other features that premium provides is pretty nice. Not sure if the free RU-vid has the picture and picture while I watch RU-vid and play a game or browse the web so YT will still play. Turning off the screen still let's YT play and that's super awesome while listening to music, stories, podcast or whatever. Not sure if YT music is free or not but that's included with the same feature playing in the background while I have something else open or turn the screen off. Time to time you can sign up and have access to any testing or beta features YT might release in the near future like the picture in picture. I'm on mobile btw so all these features are freaking great for me.

@@bigv6724 Sponsored Segments can be annoying but they are not under RU-vid's control. They are private deals negotiated directly between the product brand's marketing team and the content creators themselves. Depending on the terms the creators are even given a set amount of products or even given a small payment to advertise their goods. They can't automatically be bypassed by ad blocking or subscription service rules. It is what it is, but with creators now running as full time businesses, they need to have the resources to provide a regular stream of new videos. The commission from views, regular ads and subs royalties alone are rarely enough to support the businesses, so sponsorship deals gan generate a significant amount of revenue.

Yes

I've known enough people with ear tunnels that it would have to be cheek tunnels to be a red flag for me

November thought he was the cat's balls but really was a little weeny

SCIENCE!!! I got nervous for the cat that jumped out of the passenger seat. I mean I get it, it's a Primal reaction, but I gasped when I saw that door open😆
